Security service EKRE MP expenses probe raises conflict of interest worries
An Internal Security Service (ISS) investigation into opposition MP Kert Kingo (EKRE) over suspicions of the misuse of expenses benefits has raised conflict of interest questions, given the MP heads a Riigikogu committee which oversees the ISS, daily Postimees reports.
Postimees reported (link in Estonian) that Kingo's position as deputy chair of the Riigikogu Anti-Corruption Select Committee, informally called the "Kapo committee" (Kapo being the acronym by which the ISS is most commonly known in Estonia – ed.), has precipitated fears over a conflict of interest, even if Kingo will not oversee the investigation.
Kingo, a former IT and foreign trade minister, also allegedly threatened Postimees and its journalist with a lawsuit in respect of the paper's reporting.
The investigation itself is at an early stage and Kingo is only the subject of suspicion; she has stated her innocence in the matter, while the investigation, conducted by the ISS under the direction of the prosecutor's office as per standard practice in Estonia, is underway, the prosecutor's office says.
Coalition MP Jürgen Ligi (Reform), who also heads the "Kapo committee" says Kingo should step down from the position of deputy chair, and while she is under no obligation to do so, should make the decision herself or her party, the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) should be queried on the matter, Ligi says.
The original Postimees piece (in Estonian) is here.
As reported by ERR News, last month the Riigikogu Anti-Corruption Select Committee approached the police over the issue of expenses, following a complaint to the committee which alleged that Kingo had used expense benefits to cover a third party's legal costs, a charge which Kingo denies.

The government of Victoria state in Australia on Wednesday introduced a crucial legislation in the Parliament which will put a ban on the public display of the Nazi Hakenkreuz symbol. The law imposes the punishment of 12 months in prison and a monetary fine of USD 22,000 to anyone who would intentionally display the Nazi Hakenkreuz ot the hooked cross symbol in public.
According to the reports, the government in the Summary Offences Amendment (Nazi Symbol Prohibition) Bill 2022 mentioned that using the Nazi Hakenkreuz symbol would be a criminal offense attracting severe punishment. It added that it would naturally allow the police to remove and confiscate items that breach the ban.
Today, the Andrews Labor Government is introducing nation leading legislation to prohibit the public display of the Nazi symbol which will help root out the cancer of our societies, which is exactly what antisemitism is. pic.twitter.com/Vo3oJ4xjd4
— Ros Spence MP (@RosSpenceMP) May 11, 2022
The attorney general Jaclyn Symes stated that the Nazi symbol is a ‘symbol of hate and division’ and that the introduction of the law will send a clear message that Nazi and neo-Nazi ideology has no place in Victoria. “The Nazi symbol glorifies one of the most hateful ideologies in history, its public display does nothing but cause further pain and division. Victoria is multicultural. We are multi-ethnic. As a government we want to do all we can to stamp out hate and give it no room to grow” she was quoted.
However, she differentiated between the Nazi Hakenkreuz symbol and the Hindu Swastika symbol as she said that legislation will come into effect a year after passing to allow for a community education campaign to raise awareness of the origins of the religious and cultural swastika, its importance to the Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain communities and its distinction from the Nazi symbol. Due to their similar appearances, most people in many countries think the Swastika and Nazi Hakenkreuz are the same symbols.
Meanwhile, Deputy Liberal leader David Southwick said that the ban on the Nazi Hakenkreuz symbol was the proudest moment in his political career. “Enough is enough for these kinds of horrific symbols. The ban couldn’t come quicker. We would call on the government to make this law current and now, not to wait 12 months. The time to act is now. Let’s ensure these evil symbols of hate are banned once and for all,” Southwick said on May 11.
Swastika and the Hakenkreuz debate
There is a lot of fuss around the Swastika and the Hakenkreuz debate. Many people and groups have stood to equate the Hindu religious symbol with the Nazi symbol. However, both these signs are entirely different. The Swastika, a Hindu sacred emblem, was originally mentioned in the Vedas. The swastika is made out of the words ‘su’, which means “good,” and ‘asti,’ which means “to be.” In other terms, bliss. It can be traced back 6,000 years to rock and cave drawings.
Furthermore, the American Jewish Committee, one of the country’s oldest Jewish advocacy organizations, released a leaflet clarifying the distinction between the Swastika used for millennia by Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist cultures and the deformed Nazi version of it.
It is important to note that in the year 2020, the Victorian opposition, the Jewish and the anti-racism groups had called for a ban on the use of the Hakenkreuz after police could not stop the act of a Nazi flag being flown above a house in regional Victoria. Also in the year 2019, the state government was unable to stop a neo-Nazi concert in Melbourne, despite significant pressure from human rights, faith, and anti-discrimination groups to shut the event down.
Reportedly, the ban introduced by the Victorian government does not extend to the online display of the Nazi Hakenkreuz symbol. The Attorney General on May 11 stated that the state government had no powers to regulate the digital world. | https://www.opindia.com/2022/05/australias-victoria-state-to-ban-nazi-hakenkreuz-will-allow-hindu-swastika/ | 2022-05-11T09:38:05Z | https://www.opindia.com/2022/05/australias-victoria-state-to-ban-nazi-hakenkreuz-will-allow-hindu-swastika/ | false | 1 |

SEATTLE (AP) — Coming off a challenging stretch of games mostly filled with setbacks and one unimaginable defeat, the Philadelphia Phillies needed a relaxed evening at the ballpark.
Jean Segura and Rhys Hoskins hit back-to-back home runs in the second inning, Ranger Suárez tossed six strong innings and the Phillies cruised to a 9-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
“To come out here and kind of make the first punch is something. We’ll try and ride that momentum into the next couple of days,” Hoskins said.
The Phillies had dropped five of six before opening their West Coast swing with a victory on their first visit to Seattle since 2017. Philadelphia had a season-high 17 hits.
Segura’s fourth homer of the season was a line drive out to left-center field against the team he played for in 2017 and 2018. Hoskins followed by golfing a shot down the left-field line off starter Chris Flexen for his third long ball.
Nick Castellanos finished with three hits, including two doubles. Castellanos’ RBI double in the fourth was the start of a three-run inning off Flexen.
The Phillies added three more runs off reliever Diego Castillo in the seventh, with Castellanos, Segura and Hoskins all driving in runs. Castillo has allowed nine earned runs in his past three appearances.
The Mariners snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but the offense remains underwhelming. Seattle has scored three runs or fewer in 10 of its past 13 games.
Rookie Julio Rodríguez was the lone bright spot for Seattle with the second three-hit game of his young career. Aside from Rodríguez, the only other Seattle hit off Suárez was an infield single from Jesse Winker.
Suárez (3-1) struck out a season-high seven in his best performance of the season.
“When you have a shutout game like that it gives you a lot of confidence. It’s a confidence booster,” Suárez said through an interpreter. “It’s not only a confidence booster for me. I really have to thank my defense and the team like team like overall.”
Philadelphia manager Joe Girardi said Suarez’s performance was amplified by the amount of pitchers the Phillies needed to get through Sunday’s doubleheader against the New York Mets. Earlier in that series, the bullpen blew a six-run lead in the ninth inning of an 8-7 loss.
“We wanted to try to give some guys a day off. We didn’t want to have to use them all again today,” Girardi said. “He just made pitches and I think he probably threw his best fastballs the last couple in the final inning. That just shows you how hard he works that he still has a little extra in the tank when he needs it.”
Flexen (1-5) had not allowed more than three earned runs in his first five starts. The six earned runs were the most since last July, when he gave up seven runs to Houston.
“I missed over the plate, fell behind at times,” Flexen said. “They did what they were supposed to do with some of those pitches.”
DEBUT PERFORMANCES
Relief pitchers Danny Young for Seattle and Francisco Morales for Philadelphia both made their major league debuts in the seventh inning. Young allowed two hits in 1 1/3 innings. Morales tossed two innings with three strikeouts.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Phillies: Girardi said there’s no change in the status of RHP Zach Eflin and RHP Zack Wheeler after both were placed on the COVID-19 IL on Sunday. Girardi said neither is expected to be available until the team gets to Los Angeles on Thursday. … Girardi said he’s unsure who will start in Wednesday’s series finale in Seattle.
Mariners: SS J.P. Crawford was out of the lineup for a second straight game due to back spasms. Seattle manager Scott Servais said Crawford was feeling better and after taking some swings pregame was expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday.
UP NEXT
Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola (1-3, 3.38) looks to snap a personal three-game losing streak and pick up his first win since April 8. Nola has four earned runs over his past 20 innings pitched but has two no decisions and a loss during that stretch.
Mariners: LHP Robbie Ray (2-3, 4.38) looks to rebound from losses in his past two starts. Ray allowed four earned runs in his last outing against Tampa Bay. He allowed three earned runs in his previous start against Miami, also a loss.

- Protests have rocked Sri Lanka.
- Police there were ordered to use live ammunition to stop rioting.
- A security official warned there could be anarchy.
Sri Lankan police have been ordered to go on the offensive and use live ammunition to stop rioting, a top official told AFP on Wednesday, after another night of sporadic arson attacks.
Police say eight people have died since Monday, when frustration at the island's dire economic crisis erupted into violence between supporters and opponents of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Even with a curfew imposed and thousands of security forces told to "shoot on sight" to prevent further unrest, a luxury hotel said to belong to a Rajapaksa relative was set ablaze on Tuesday evening.
"It is no longer spontaneous anger, but organised violence," the senior security official said on condition of anonymity.
The official added:
The security official said the 85 000-strong police "have been asked to adopt an offensive stance", and have been ordered to use live ammunition against troublemakers.
Curfew
A curfew imposed soon after violence broke out on Monday was due to be lifted on Wednesday morning, but it was extended by another 24 hours due to continuing violence.

As well as the hotel fire, on Tuesday evening police said they shot into the air at two locations to disperse mobs trying to torch vehicles.
They also stepped up security for several judges, saying they were also targeted.
The unrest in Sri Lanka has spiralled after Monday's events, when government supporters with sticks and clubs attacked demonstrators in Colombo protesting peacefully for weeks over the economic crisis and demanding President Rajapaksa's resignation.
Mobs then retaliated across the country late into the night, torching dozens of homes of ruling-party politicians and trying to storm the prime minister's official residence in the capital.
Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president's brother, had to be rescued in a pre-dawn military operation on Tuesday after thousands of angry protesters stormed his residence hours after his resignation as prime minister.
Sri Lanka had just opened staff-level talks with the International Monetary Fund on a possible bail out after the country ran out of dollars to import even the most essential items.
Echoing calls from the UN rights chief and the EU, the US on Tuesday said it was both concerned with the escalating violence and the deployment of the military.
"We stress that peaceful protesters should never be subjected to violence or intimidation, whether that's on the part of the military force or civilian units," State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters.

In a gruesome incident of caste-related violence in Tamil Nadu, three upper caste juvenile students were booked by Tindivanam police for assaulting and pushing into an 11-year-old boy fire.
The boy, who was pushed into the bush fire allegedly by the these students, suffered serious burn injuries on his body.
Police have booked the three juveniles under Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe Atrocities Act.
Police said that the boy, who is a class 6 student of the Kttuchiviri government school, was regularly insulted using casteist slur by the upper caste boys of the same school.
On Monday evening while the boy had gone to his relatives place, the upper caste students saw him and insulted him and later pushed him into a bush which had caught fire.
The boy who suffered burn injuries jumped into a nearby water tank.
After returning home, the parents of the boy were shocked to find him with burn injuries and when asked, he told them that he had accidentally fallen in the bush that had caught fire.
However when doctors at Tindivanam government hospital questioned him, the boy narrated the incident and also informed that upper caste boys used to regularly insult him.
The father of the boy complained to the Tindivanam police which registered a case under Section 324 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and SC/ST atrocities Act.

After almost a decade of silence, fans of the JRPG series Suikoden had their prayers answered when a Kickstarter campaign for its spiritual successor was a huge success.
The creator Yoshitaka Murayama and former staff who worked on the Suikoden series have returned to bring Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes to their dedicated fans.
From the limited details that have been shared about Hundred Heroes, fans of the Suikoden series should be really excited as it looks like it could be a nostalgic affair.
However the game isn’t coming out till 2023, but in the meantime developers Natsume Atari and Rabbit and Bear Studios are releasing the surprise prequel to Hundred Heroes called Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising follows the young aspiring treasure hunter called CJ who is searching for an item called a Rune lens as part of her village's rite of passage.
Her quest takes her to New Neveah, a small mining town in the continent of Allraan. New Neveah has been hit with hard times since an earthquake opened up a quarry nearby, also revealing Runebarrows beneath the town.
This attracts adventurers and merchants alike looking to find fame and fortune. CJ just needs an explorer's licence to continue her journey, but as it costs way beyond her means, so she strikes a deal with the acting mayor Isha to help the residents with requests in exchange for stamps.
Once she has enough stamps, she can get her licence. This thrusts the young CJ into an adventure that will see her meet a bright cast of characters while trying to uncover the secrets of the earthquake, the Galdean Empire and more.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising starts off with a very simple premise but develops into something more.
It is great to have an early glimpse into some of the characters who will be in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and get an early look into the foundations of the lore.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising looks lovely with its vibrant 2.5D anime art style that infuses aspects of various folklore into its overall aesthetic.
Each character model has a fantastic design with intricate details that enhance their characterisation.
I do adore the charming character sprites which are reminiscent of Super Nintendo and PS1 games, but some of the animations don’t flow as well as they could.
The levels boast brilliant designs with each area offering something new to explore, with the scenery and backdrops elevating their overall appearance.
Enemies designs really vary with the bosses looking fantastic and menacing, giving players a sense of satisfaction once they are defeated.
The soundtrack is awesome, with each delightful theme invoking a sense of adventure, adding an extra atmosphere to every situation.
I do feel the game could use some voice acting to help elevate the well written but text-heavy cutscenes.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action RPG that is a mix of combat and platforming with quite a bit of town-building thrown into the mix.
The main gaming loop will revolve around CJ and co completing various tasks for the residents of New Neveah to help rebuild the town.
The majority of the missions will be fetching items for residents, which will in turn lead to players having to explore dungeons and defeat bosses.
There is also a lot of backtracking with areas being blocked by barriers that require players to trek back to New Neveah, get what they need and return.
Luckily the fast travel system is accessible from the get-go, which makes the experience a little less gruelling.
Each dungeon or area is pretty straightforward with some platforming elements, but players will mainly spend their time defeating enemies.
What is handy is that each character has their own life bar rather than sharing one and using a single potion will refill all three’s health.
The three characters will also each have a particular skill that will improve the player's exploration ability with more skills becoming available as they progress.
As I mentioned earlier there is quite a bit of town-building where players will be able to help the residents open up new shops and buildings.
New Neveah will serve as your base where players will be able to purchase and upgrade items, take mission requests and even use the Inn to receive buffs.
Combat is at the forefront of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, where players will control three different characters who are very diverse.
CJ can perform quick combos, Garoo is strong and can block while Isha has projectile magic.
Characters can be switched on the fly at any time and players can perform a link combo after landing a critical hit.
From the start the combat mechanics are very simplistic, but as players progress they will gain access to new weapons that will add extra skill and abilities to each character.
This vastly improves the combat experience allowing things to stay fresh and keep players engaged.
My only issue with this is that it takes a while to get going and players will only gain access to useful skills a lot later than expected.
There is a vast amount of enemies who all present different challenges, which is great as it will force players to constantly switch between each of the characters learning their move set, rather than sticking to one.
Boss battles are hit and miss with the early ones going down far too easy, but they dramatically improve as players progress into the latter stages of the game.
Players will also be able to revisit bosses, but they don’t improve to match the player's progress.
The RPG aspect of the game is what you would expect, with each character able to improve their stats by levelling up through gaining experience points from defeating enemies and completing missions.
Verdict 3/5
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a charming introduction to the Eiyuden Chronicle, with a wonderful narrative and a great set of opening characters.
The game itself can feel very tedious and drawn out at times with its lengthy start game and lack of quest variety.
But once things get going it becomes a fun action RPG with a great amount of content to keep players engaged for a long period of time.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is out now on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5

Chronic pain: The ‘unbearable’ condition affecting one in four
By Ruth Clegg and Dominic Hughes
BBC News
- Published
Relentless. Unbearable. Overwhelming.
These are just some of the words used by the thousands of people who have revealed their battle with long-term, persistent pain.
An exclusive survey of over 4,000 adults aged 16-75 for BBC News, carried out by research company Ipsos, suggests that a quarter of people in the UK are living with chronic pain - an often hidden and misunderstood condition.
And pain specialists warn the health service is not set up to deal with such complex conditions. They say the treatments on offer are decades behind the science, leaving millions of patients without the support they need to manage their pain.
Chronic pain - defined as pain that lasts longer than three months - can drastically change people's lives. It can be caused by a physical problem - such as a slipped disc, but can also occur with no clear cause - known as primary pain. It destroys careers, breaks up relationships, steals independence and denies people the futures they had imagined.
Jen Proudler says chronic pain has left her grieving for "the person she was".
It started four years ago with sporadic back pain, which she managed with the help of hot baths and paracetamol. Now she relies on opioid patches, anti-inflammatories, nerve pain medications and beta-blockers just to get through the day.
"It has flipped everything upside down," she says. "I feel I've lost every part of my life. I've lost me."
Jen, 38, who lives with her partner in Farsley near Leeds, was working as a dental hygienist and had a busy social life when she first started experiencing pain in February 2018.
Her doctor said it was a problem with a disc in her back and advised taking some time off. Jen rested for about eight weeks, then went back to work. The pain hadn't gone away but she felt she needed to get back to "some kind of normality".
"There were days when it was really bad, but I have this attitude of battling through it, because that's what you do," she says.
But nine months after the pain first began, Jen was driving to work when she felt the most excruciating pain. "It was how I would imagine being kicked in the back by a horse." Later that day she lost all sensation in her right leg.
That was the last time she made it to work.
After several incorrect diagnoses, Jen was eventually told by a neurosurgeon that she had a "pretty massive" far lateral disc herniation in her spine - a slipped disc that then compresses the nerves around it. But by then something was going on - her body's defence system had gone into overdrive in response to the agony she was experiencing. The pain has now spread around her body - Jen has burning pins and needles sensations down her leg, as well as sharp pain, as if being cut by a razor. Sometimes it's so bad, she can't even bear any fabric to touch it.
"Our nervous system becomes more and more protective, it feels danger and sends warning signals - and those warning signals contribute to the pain," explains Dr Chris Barker, clinical director of an NHS community pain service in Ainsdale, Merseyside.
He says such pain can be hard to diagnose, and the difficulty of getting the correct treatment can make things worse. "Incorrect diagnoses, delayed diagnoses, poor experiences in and out of the health system, not being believed - all of these can contribute to a more intense experience of pain."
Dr Barker says the NHS is not set up to deal with such a complex condition, despite the fact it is so common. "The prevalence of pain is huge. It dwarfs most other conditions."
The BBC study is the most recent snapshot - previous studies have found chronic pain affects between 20-50% of the UK - and the prevalence may be even higher in older age groups.
What is chronic pain?
- Persistent pain that lasts more than three months, despite medication or other forms of treatment
- Secondary chronic pain is a pain which tends to be caused by another condition, for example, arthritis, endometriosis, cancer pain
- Primary chronic pain is a condition in its own right - there is no known condition other than the pain itself - this can include conditions such as fibromyalgia or complex regional pain syndrome
- Chronic pain is often confused with acute pain - a short-term pain such as a broken bone or a torn muscle
Latest guidelines from the health regulator National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) say chronic primary pain should not be treated with opioids, or even paracetamol, while in Scotland, opioids can be prescribed for chronic pain in certain cases.
Yet the results from BBC's Ipsos survey suggest nearly a quarter of those who live with chronic pain are currently taking opioids - ranging from medication such as codeine to more powerful painkillers like morphine and fentanyl.
Opioids are useful for short-term, acute pain, but there is little evidence they help long-term, persistent pain. Despite this, opioid prescribing more than doubled between 1998 to 2018. It prompted the MHRA, the UK's medicine regulator, to issue stronger warnings around the risk of addiction and overdose.
Our research suggests that more than 40% of those currently using opioids began taking them over five years ago, before these warnings were issued.
Sitting at her kitchen table, packets of pills stacked up nearby, Jen says every day now revolves around managing her pain. Despite the support of her GP, she is struggling to see a way forward. She says the medication helps her function, but she worries she's running out of options in the long term.
Pain specialists believe the science calls for a different approach involving more support, more tailored care and most importantly, more options of how to cope with such a life-changing condition.
Dr Cathy Stannard, clinical lead on persistent pain for NICE, says medication like opioids has very little benefit for people with certain types of chronic pain. She fears millions of patients are not getting the bespoke treatment needed for such a complex condition. But the other options are a difficult sell to a patient in distress - especially in an under-pressure health service where they often don't get the chance to build up a trusting, empathetic relationship.
"People who are living with pain very understandably present with high levels of distress. When they say, 'Are you going to leave me in pain?' it is very difficult to say 'Yes.' It is always with the best intentions that we prescribe medicines, but often, it is a response to distress rather than a rational clinical decision."
Managing chronic pain
Patients tend to need the support of their GP, physiotherapists, psychologists and pharmacists. Depending on the condition, medication can be helpful but may only be part of the treatment - other elements that help include:
- Exercise
- Physical therapies (hot or cold packs, massage, hydrotherapy)
- Psychological therapies (trauma therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, meditation)
- Community support groups
Dr Stannard stresses the NICE guidelines were not written to take medication away from people who feel it is helping them. The problem, she says, is the lack of options or tailored treatment for such a complex condition - and too often medication becomes the only answer, instead of part of it.
And no-one should stop or change their medication without speaking to their doctor.
Benjamin Ellis, a consultant rheumatologist and senior policy advisor for the charity Versus Arthritis, agrees, and says that while opioids can help people manage some conditions like osteoarthritis, too often they are seen as a long-term answer.
"The health system is set up to support the prescribing of medication rather than supporting patients to access other treatments - physical activity, programmes to help people with their mental health, community support, peer support - they're not so readily available, and even where they are, they're not well connected with health services."
Lorraine English's story illustrates the potential dangers of being prescribed opioids long term.
She was a busy single mum with four kids, working as a teaching assistant, when she started to notice pain that had started in her neck and spread into her head and back.
It led to her taking high doses of opioids, including morphine, for 12 years - at times she says she felt like her life was over. "It was so frightening, so isolating".
Lorraine, from Burnage, south Manchester, was eventually diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia - a condition which causes all-over body pain and extreme tiredness.
"I would get nerve pain shooting through my head and it would cause migraines, light-sensitivity - just my heel touching the floor would send pain up into my head."
As the pain continued, her opioid dose increased, while her ability to cope decreased.
Eventually she had to give up work, taking pill after pill to beat what is known as "breakthrough pain" - a flare-up of pain despite being on huge doses of painkillers.
For the last three years of her life on morphine, Lorraine was unable to function - bed-bound, existing in a fog of medication, her life ruled by pain.
"It's like being in a medicated coma and you can't reach out to anybody, because you're not even aware anyone's out there. I felt like that for years, just laid in bed with my kids checking on me, asking, 'You okay?'"
Lorraine says she realised that she needed to reduce her medication - not only was she struggling to function, but she felt it was making the pain worse.
It took nearly a year, but with the help of her GP, Lorraine has gradually tapered off her opioid medication, and the pain has reduced.
Now opioid-free, she says she has learned to "embrace" the pain she still feels, and understand her body's limits.
"No matter how much pain I am in, I want to be able to manage it so I can hug my grandkids," she says.
Think differently about pain
People who live with chronic pain have told us how difficult it is to access any specialist services.
Our research suggests that nearly a quarter (23%) of those living with chronic pain are on waiting lists for surgery or a pain management programme.
There are areas of the UK which are offering a whole patient approach, like at Dr Barker's clinic in Ainsdale, Merseyside, where he leads a team of pharmacists, physiotherapists and psychologists.
Over the last 20 years, he says, the scientific understanding of pain - how our brains respond, how we process it - has been transformed.
Hurt does not always equal harm, he explains, and someone can be in pain without any physical injury. "Our traditional model of thinking about pain is about MRI scans and looking for structural things - the problem is we interpret that to mean that's going to be the cause of pain."
Chronic pain is far more complex than that - an overly sensitised nervous system can change a normal signal from one of the body's sensors into a threat signal which our brain then interprets as pain.
There may be many complex reasons why the nervous system has been put on "red alert", he says. If people are dealing with trauma, stress or grief, that can contribute to chronic pain.
The BBC News investigation unearths huge numbers of people living with chronic pain. In an exclusive documentary, Dominic Hughes hears stories from those in pain, across the UK.
This is why, Dr Barker says, sharing experiences can play a vital role when living with pain. Many of his patients attend Pain Clinic Plus, a peer support group at his clinic.
"People tend to become isolated because they can't do what they used to do, so people stop phoning them," says Kev Howard, one of the organisers, who has lived with pain for years following a shoulder injury.
"It's so easy to sit at home and take a pill and fall asleep. The other way to go is to pop into groups similar to this, and basically have a laugh - because while you're laughing you're not crying." | https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61309962 | 2022-05-11T10:00:18Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61309962 | false | 1 |

Lockdown to Lead to Lower Growth at 11.1% CAGR in 2020 amid COVID-19
The first half of 2020 led to reduced sales revenue due to the lockdown announced by the government agencies that halted operations of several industries. However, the second half of the pandemic witnessed a massive spurt in online sales. For instance, according to the data by Salesforce Inc., U.S. online sales grew by over 36% in the first two weeks of December as the customers were finishing their holiday shopping. Owing to this, the Smart Parcel Locker Industry exhibited a declined CAGR of 11.1% in 2020.
Smart parcel lockers are automated systems that provide convenience for businesses to store parcels. They provide secure access to inventories and assets from close and remote locations to the users by automatically notifying them of details regarding their parcel.

Peloton Interactive, Inc. PTON shares sank further into negative terrain on Tuesday after it reported disappointing first-quarter results and issued weak guidance.
Further Downside Limited: TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is optimistic that a turnaround could be in the cards.
The analyst noted that Peloton shares have declined nearly 50% since April 7, when he tweeted that the company cut all component orders for 2022. A further downside could be limited, the analyst said.
Kuo also provided cues for investors to identify the bottom in the stock.
"The best way to check if $PTON's worst is over is to keep an eye on when it starts replacing orders," the analyst said.

Chase The Few Fitness Freaks: Peloton needs to make as much money as possible from the few people who are passionate about fitness, Gene Munster of Loup Funds said. It should target this group with both hardware and software, he added.
"To those members: Peloton is a drug, and they're willing to pay a lot for it," Munster said.
The analyst also said the new CEO Barry McCarthy is the right person to turn the company around.
"I was impressed with his pragmatic conference call and conservative outlook," the analyst said.
He believes that this formula will win over investors in the long run.
Peloton shares, which slumped 8.70% to $12.90 on Tuesday, reversed course and traded 5.43% higher at $13.60 in the after-hours session, according to BenzingaPro data.

The Xiaomi Pad 5 will attract many customers mainly because of its price in India. At starting Rs 26,999, the Android tablet comes with a 120Hz LCD display with Dolby Vision, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, customised MIUI 13 for Pad, and Snapdragon 860 SoC, which is quite capable of handling heavy tasks. Moreover, Xiaomi is not only offering the option to get proprietary accessories, but customers can even connect third-party keyboards and gamepads to improve the overall experience. And if you want to use the tablet for video calling, we get capable cameras at the front and back.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 even has a variant with 256GB storage that obviously costs more at Rs 28,999. It is still more affordable than the iPad 9th-Gen 64GB that costs Rs 30,990. During a product briefing session, the company claimed that its new-gen tablet meets most requirements, be it gaming, productivity, and entertainment. So today, I will be taking a different route for this review and particularly highlight these areas instead of talking about design, battery, and other parameters. I still believe that budget tablets aren’t a replacement for laptops (yet), but they can be super handy to tackle smartphone fatigue.
ALSO READ: Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: What You Should Know Before Spending Rs 62,999 On This Smartphone
Xiaomi Pad 5 for entertainment: Tablets can be great for viewing content as we get more viewing area and slimmer form factor than a laptop. Though many budget tablets promise Full-HD or greater resolution, they lack the most basic Android key to unlock high-resolution videos. So first things first, we get L1 Widevine certification for OTT platforms, meaning Netflix and Prime videos will play at Full-HD or Ultra-HD resolution, provided you have the top-tier plan.
We get a 10.95-inch LCD display with WQHD+ (1,600 x 2,560 pixels) resolution, 500 nits brightness, and Dolby Vision support. For smooth scrolling and browsing experience, we get a 120Hz refresh rate display that Apple reserves for its ‘Pro’ iPad series. To even amp up your entertainment experience, there’s a quad-speaker system that offers ample bass and loudness. For reference, I watched Premier League games on Disney+ Hotstar, Ozark season 4 Part 2 on Netflix, and Office on Amazon Prime Video, and all the apps worked perfectly fine, and the videos were sharp and vivid.
Similarly, users who enjoy reading can reap the benefits of the ‘reading mode’ that the Android 11-based MIUI 13 includes. Of course, this reading mode isn’t as versatile as the paper-like experience that Amazon Kindle offers, but we do get a nice, matte finish that works with major news websites too.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 sadly does not include a 3.5mm audio jack which may disappoint some users who still prefer using wired earphones. There’s no LTE variant of the tablet (yet), so if you want to use the device outdoors, you’ll need to rely on the phone’s hotspot as I seriously advise against using public Wi-Fi connection. Lastly, some may even question Xiaomi’s decision to use an LCD panel, but honestly, most users won’t even realise the difference here thanks to higher resolution, Dolby Vision, and adequate brightness.
Xiaomi Pad 5 for gaming: Gaming on Xiaomi Pad 5 is equally good, mainly because of the reliable display and processor. We also get a USB-C port with OTG support, so you can connect third-party gamepads. I used a wireless gamepad (Ant Esports GP300 Pro) and established a connection through the 2.4Ghz dongle. You can even hover over the apps with the gamepad, but the experience is not fully optimised.
The gamepad worked fine with negligible lag or stutters while playing Asphalt 9, but titles like Call of Duty only support Xbox controllers, which I couldn’t test. I also played Kraftons’s BGMI which didn’t face any issues with top graphics settings enabled. But playing the action title on a 10.9-inch touch-enabled screen feels awkward.
If you care for benchmarks, the Xiaomi Pad 5 scored 760 and 2,526 points in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core CPU test. In the 3D Mark 1-minute long WildLife GPU test, the tablet attained 3,265 points - better than most affordable rivals. Lastly, its CPU throttled to 95 percent of its max performance. The scores indicate that the Xiaomi Pad 5 should work vastly better than most of its budget Android competitions.
Productivity on Xiaomi Pad 5: As mentioned earlier, the Xiaomi Pad 5 gets a custom MIUI 13 for Pad that I enjoyed using thoroughly. We still get some bloatware and spammy notifications from proprietary apps, but users can disable them from the Settings menu. Overall, the MIUI 13 does offer some nifty features, but the software needs some optimisation as texts are still jumbled for certains apps. It is still running on Android 11, and the company did confirm the arrival of Android 12L, though that may take some time.
However, I was happy that the interface is mostly intuitive, and even elderly customers will find the tablet easy to operate. Users can also use apps like Instagram and Facebook too.
If you’re a teacher or professional who relies on video calls, the front camera delivers an above-average performance under perfect lighting conditions. As expected, the images and videos are grainy under low light settings. The 13-megapixel back camera, on the other hand, delivers sharp photos and performs much better than budget tablets like Galaxy Tab A8 and Nokia T20.
However, readers must remember that the Xiaomi Tab 5 isn’t a laptop, and it’s mainly useful for entertainment purposes. I’ve said in a previous Nokia T20 review that budget (or mid-budget in this case) Android tablets are great for tackling phone screen fatigue and managing smart home devices. In that regard, the Xiaomi Tab 5 can increase productivity as it will also help you de-clutter smartphone apps.
Accessories: The Xiaomi Pad 5 does not include proprietary accessories like the keyboard or stylus and customers need to purchase them separately. I highly recommend customers to buy the Xiaomi Pad 5 Cover, which costs Rs 1,999 and it can help protect against scratches. It also lets users mount the tablet for a comfortable viewing angle.
If you want something more chic, I recently got the DailyObjects Mount Adjustable Phone Stand that features a wooden base and is available in multiple colours. It doubles as a tablet stand and costs the same as the Pad cover. It can be highly useful if you want to use the tablet as a secondary monitor in landscape mode. The Mount even allows customers the comfort of using the tablet while it’s charging.
Xiaomi also sent us the Xiaomi Pad keyboard that I couldn’t find on the Mi Store and the price remains unclear. The keyboard includes squishy keys, but you cannot adjust the height like on Apple’s Magic Keyboard. However, it still works better than Apple’s iPad basic cover and keyboard as the Xiaomi keyboard offers better feedback and travel space.
There’s also a Xiaomi Smart Pen (Rs 5,999) available in a black finish. We get in-line controls to take screenshots or take quick notes. Users can attach the pen on the side, where it also charges magnetically. Its packaging includes a replaceable soft tip if you’re into designing. To be fair, both Xiaomi accessories work smoothly; however, many Android apps still need optimisation to work seamlessly with them.
Verdict: While making their purchase decision, many would get confused between the Xiaomi Pad 5 or Apple iPad (9th-gen). At this point, it is all about requirements.
If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, getting an iPad makes more sense as you get seamless integration with iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch. Apple also promises five to six years of OS updates, more than any competition is willing to offer. The iPad features metal finish, while the Xiaomi Pad 5 comes with a plastic body.

However, the Xiaomi Pad 5 is definitely worth checking out (I’d say even buying) if you’re an Android user and don’t want to spend extra to get 128GB/256GB of storage. To put it simply, the Xiaomi Pad 5 can be seen as an Android-alternative to the Apple iPad (9th-Gen). But the tablet’s future Android OS updates look doubtful, and the MIUI 13 for Pad still needs some work.

Doctor Strange 2: Charlize Theron confirms Clea’s role. DYK she eventually marries Stephen in comics
Doctor Strange 2’s post-credit scene options Charlize Theron, the actress has lastly confirmed the rumours and shared images from units of Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness. In the MCU, the actress will play the function of Clea. Six days after the debut of Doctor Strange’s sequel Charlize Theron posted on Instagram the official first look of her as Clea. Her character was launched within the mid-credits scene of the Marvel Studios movie.
Theron’s casting as Clea had been rumoured for the previous couple of weeks as phrase of the numerous surprises in ‘Multiverse of Madness’ started to trickle by the Internet. But Theron’s submit marks the primary time the Oscar-winning actor has acknowledged she’s enjoying the character. Take a glance:
Who is Clea? Everything that you must learn about Marvel’s character
that is the primary time that Clea has been launched in Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the character has an extended historical past in Marvel comics. She first appeared in comics in 1964 in Strange Tales #126. Created by Stan Lee, as per comics, Clea was born within the Dark Dimension. By beginning she is expounded to Dormammu (keep in mind the villain in 2016’s Doctor Strange).
Power and talents of Clea
Clea is the Sorceress Supreme of the Dark Dimension. She possesses magnificent powers. She can manipulate forces of magic, magically assemble beings and conjure objects. She also can carry out teleporting, telekinesis, levitation and management others’ minds. In addition to replicating all of the spells that Doctor Strange can, she will generate her personal mystical power (like Umar and Dormammu). It is feasible as a result of she is a descendant of the Faltine race of power beings. One can not decide her age as she has been dwelling the identical method for hundreds of years.
How is Clea associated to Doctor Strange in comics?
In comics., when Doctor Strange went to the Dark Dimension to battle in opposition to Dormammu, he was aided by Clea. It is there that fell in love. The two collectively combat a number of villains of MCU and are sometimes seen happening adventures. After a collection of evil manifestations by Dormammu and Umar, Doctor Strange, on the recommendation of Ancient One brings Clea to Earth and so they begin dwelling in Sanctum Sanctorum. She turns into his disciple and begins rising her mystical potential. With coaching and her intelligence, she quickly turns into equal to Doctor Strange when it comes to mystical powers and takes her place as one of many Defenders. Together they save Earth on numerous events.
After sure occasions, Clea heads again to Dark Dimension. Eventually, Clea and Strange get married, however Clea should commute between the Dark Dimension and Strange’s actuality, which, naturally, places one thing of a pressure on their relationship.
How will Charlize Theron’s character affect MCU?
At this level, it’s unclear the place Theron’s model of Clea will go inside the MCU, however the post-credit scene strongly means that she and Cumberbatch will headline the subsequent ‘Doctor Strange’ film.
For the unversed, Theron seems in full sorcerer regalia whereas Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is strolling down the road within the post-credit scene. She tells him that his multiverse hopping actions from the movie have precipitated an “incursion” between universes, which, because it sounds, was not a superb factor.
After ripping the material of actuality to disclose a portal to the Dark Dimension — i.e. Clea’s residence — she asks Strange to affix her to restore the harm, and he does.
Given that Theron is likely one of the greatest established stars ever to affix the Marvel Studios fold, it additionally appears possible that Clea might have an extended and wholesome future inside the MCU. | https://thewall.fyi/doctor-strange-2-charlize-theron-confirms-cleas-role-dyk-she-eventually-marries-stephen-in-comics/ | 2022-05-11T10:04:07Z | https://thewall.fyi/doctor-strange-2-charlize-theron-confirms-cleas-role-dyk-she-eventually-marries-stephen-in-comics/ | false | 1 |

'Did I spill the beans?': Virat Kohli drops major update on AB de Villiers reuniting with RCB - Watch
AB de Villiers is considered as one of the megastar in modern day cricket and despite announcing retirement from all forms of the sport he still remains a fans favourite. Apart from his immense popularity in the international circuit, the 38-year-star was one of the leading face in the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) camp. (IPL 2022 full coverage)
Virat Kohli, who is another talismanic figure representing the franchise, shared a close bond with the Proteas player and in a recent interaction, the former RCB captain dropped a major update about the latter's future with the team.
In a video shared by RCB on social media, Kohli revealed he misses de Villiers a lot and how the two often stay in touch via messages. Speaking further, the Indian batter also indicated that the ex-cricketer could return to RCB in the near future.
"I miss him a lot. I speak to him regularly, quite regularly. He keeps messaging me," Kohli said in the video.
"He was in the US recently watching golf. Augusta Masters is what I heard it was called. So he told me he was there experiencing it with his friends and family.
"So we stay in touch and he's very keenly watching RCB and hopefully here next year in some capacity," Kohli further stated.
Soon after stating this, Kohli smilingly remarked: “Did I spill the beans?”
De Villiers spent over a decade with the RCB franchise after associating with them in the 2011 edition.
The former South Africa cricketer will soon return to action but this time in a different sport. As per a report in AFP earlier this month, the 38-year-old will be representing Rest of the World team against Team USA led by Fred Couples in the inaugural Icons Series golf event in Jersey City from June 30 to July 1. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/virat-kohli-drops-major-update-on-ab-de-villiers-reuniting-with-rcb-watch-video-101652249697918.html | 2022-05-11T10:19:13Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/virat-kohli-drops-major-update-on-ab-de-villiers-reuniting-with-rcb-watch-video-101652249697918.html | false | 2 |
What are episodic mobility problems that Queen Elizabeth suffer from; know possible causes from expert
Britain's Queen Elizabeth skipped the opening of parliament on Tuesday due to her episodic mobility issues and her son and heir Prince Charles read the Queen's speech on her behalf. The queen has been forced to cut back on engagements since being hospitalised for a night last October for an unspecified illness, according to Reuters. The report further said that while the Buckingham Palace did not give details about Elizabeth's ailment, a source said her decision to pull out of the parliament opening was related to the problems she had suffered last year.
According to Dr Jyoti Bala Sharma - Director (Neurology), Fortis Hospital Noida, episodic mobility problem means transient difficulty in agility and gait which means the condition lasts or continues for a short period of time.
Talking about the possible causes of episodic mobility problem, Dr Jyoti said it could be due to:

- Clot on surface of brain or SDH
- Transient worsening of pre-existing neurological problem like neuro degenerative disorder or disorder of nerves or muscles.
- Infection
- Medicine like sedatives
- Electrolyte imbalance or dyselectolytemia

The idea of the “little Lukaku” to follow in the footsteps of Haaland, using the German team as a springboard for future ambitions, failed. And so Brobbey returned to Ajax from which he had fled to zero not even a year ago.
The idea of ”little Lukaku” to follow in Haaland’s footsteps, using Leipzig as a springboard for future ambitions, failed in a few months. And Brian Brobbey came home. The Dutch footballer, who last summer had chosen to leave Ajax on a free transfer to reach Germany, did not find his natural habitat in the Bundesliga and therefore preferred to get back on track, right in the club that launched him. Dry loan with no redemption option. Then, at the end of the season, he talks about it again. And since it’s time to do it, the idea, as he explains ASis to never leave.
AMBITIONS – In Holland they were ready to bet on Brobbbey. Debut and goal in Eredivise in the match against Fortuna Sittard after just eight minutes of play. In the challenge with Lille in the Europa League he had granted an encore and confirmed the good things that were said about him. A little Lukaku. Powerful, very structured, agile and fast. Ideal for the game of Leipzig. The idea fascinates Brobbey and not a little, who rejects any proposal for renewal and leaves the lancers on a free transfer. Arriving in Germany, with the prospect of playing in a young environment, he realizes that everything has changed. He does not find Nagelsmann, does not mesh with Marsch and his contribution becomes negligible. No goals in 124 ‘, spread over 9 appearances.
FUTURE – Behind the front, then. A sensational choice, but not entirely unexpected because from the first weeks following Nagelsmann’s farewell to Leipzig the boy already seemed on the point of retracing his steps precisely because of the change of the coach on the bench. In Holland he finds a training “training ground” like the Eredivise and when it comes to replacing Haller, absent for the Africa Cup, he certainly does not let himself be prayed for. Indeed, in his second experience at Ajax, the 2002 class is scoring continuously, with five goals in nine league appearances, one every 57 minutes, some of which decisive for the title, which is now very close. Enough to dream of staying: “It would be great if Ajax could buy me.” However, this is not a very simple question. Meanwhile, because now the price will be Leipzig, owner of the tag. And then because last summer’s betrayal has not yet been completely forgotten. But who knows that the parable of the prodigal son will not see a new representation in the parts of Amsterdam …

Lake Mead: Watery graves recall early Las Vegas' organized crime days
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Stories about long-departed Las Vegas organized crime figures are surfacing after a second set of unidentified human remains were revealed as the water level falls on drought-stricken Lake Mead.
The reservoir on the Colorado River is about a 30-minute drive from the mob-founded Las Vegas Strip.
"There's no telling what we'll find in Lake Mead," former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Monday. "It's not a bad place to dump a body."
Goodman was a defense attorney who represented Mafia figures including ill-fated Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro before serving three terms as a martini-toting mayor who made public appearances with a showgirl on each arm.
He declined to speculate about who might turn up in the vast reservoir formed by Hoover Dam between Nevada and Arizona.
"I'm relatively sure it was not Jimmy Hoffa," he laughed, referring to the former labor boss who disappeared in 1975. But he added that a lot of his former clients seemed interested in "climate control" — mob speak for keeping the lake level up and bodies down in their watery graves.
Instead, the world now has climate change, and as a result the surface of Lake Mead has dropped more than 170 feet (52 meters) since 1983. The lake that slakes the thirst of 40 million people in cities, farms and tribes across seven Southwestern states is down to about 30% of capacity.
"If the lake goes down much farther, it's very possible we're going to have some very interesting things surface," said Michael Green, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas history professor whose father dealt blackjack for decades at casinos including the Stardust and Showboat.
"I wouldn't bet the mortgage that we're going to solve who killed Bugsy Siegel," Green said, referring to the infamous gangster who opened the Flamingo casino in 1946 on what became the Strip. Siegel was shot dead in 1947 in Beverly Hills, California. His assassin has never been identified.
"But I would be willing to bet there are going to be a few more bodies," Green said.
Last month. the dropping lake level exposed Las Vegas' uppermost drinking water intake, forcing the regional water authority to switch to a deep-lake intake it completed in 2020 to continue to supply casinos, suburbs and 2.4 million residents and 40 million tourists per year.
The following weekend, boaters spotted the decomposed body of a man in a rusted barrel stuck in the mud of newly exposed shoreline.
The corpse has not been identified, but Las Vegas police say he had been shot, probably between the mid-1970s and early 1980s, according to the shoes found with him. The death is being investigated as a homicide.
A few days later, a second barrel was found by a KLAS-TV news crew, not far from the first. It was empty.
On Saturday, two sisters from the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson were paddle boarding on the lake near a former marina resort and noticed bones on a newly surfaced sand bar more than 9 miles (14.5 kilometers) from the barrels.
Lindsey Melvin, who took photos of their find, said they thought at first it was the skeleton of a bighorn sheep native to the region. A closer look revealed a human jaw with teeth. They called park rangers and the National Park Service confirmed in a statement that the bones were human.
There was no immediate evidence of foul play, Las Vegas police said Monday, and they are not investigating. A homicide probe would be opened if the Clark County coroner determines the death was suspicious, the department said in a statement.
Geoff Schumacher, vice president of The Mob Museum, said he expects "a lot" of whatever bodies lie beneath the lake's surface will turn out to be drowning victims. But he said it's clear whoever was in the barrel was a target.
Stuffing a body in a barrel has a "signature of a mob hit," said Schumacher, whose museum is in a renovated historic downtown Las Vegas post office and federal building. It opened in 2012 as The National Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement.
He and Green both cited the death of John "Handsome Johnny" Roselli, a mid-1950s Las Vegas mobster who disappeared in 1976. A few days later his body was found in a steel drum floating off the coast of Miami.
David Kohlmeier, a former police officer who now co-hosts a Las Vegas podcast and fledgling TV show called "The Problem Solver Show," said Monday that after offering a $5,000 reward last week for qualified divers to find barrels in the lake, he heard from people in San Diego and Florida willing to try.
But National Park Service officials said that's not allowed and that there are hundreds of barrels in the depths, some dating to the construction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s.
Kohlmeier said he also heard from families of missing people and about cases like a man suspected of killing his mother and brother in 1987, a hotel employee who disappeared in 1992, and a father from Utah who vanished in the 1980s.
Green said the discoveries have people talking not only about mob hits, but about bringing relief and closure to grieving families.
"They're going to think we're going to solve every mob murder. In fact, we may see some," he said. "But it's also worth remembering that the mob did not like murders to take place in the Las Vegas area, because they did not like bad publicity going out under the Las Vegas dateline."
Whatever story emerges about the body in the barrel, Goodman predicted it will add to the lore of a city that needed the creation of Lake Mead to sprout from the creosote bush-covered desert to become a marquee gambling mecca with a metro area home to about 2.25 million people.
"When I was the mayor, every time I went to a groundbreaking, I'd begin to shake for fear that somebody I may have run into over the years will be uncovered," he joked.
Spilotro, Goodman's one-time client, represented the Chicago mob in Las Vegas in the 1970s. He headed a crew dubbed the "Hole in the Wall" gang for drilling through walls to gain entry to homes and businesses. Spilotro's body and the body of his brother, Michael Spilotro, were found in June 1986 by a farmer plowing a cornfield in northwest Indiana.
Tony the Ant served as the model for the character Nicky Santoro, portrayed by actor Joe Pesci, in Martin Scorsese's 1995 movie"Casino." Goodman played himself in the film.
"We have a very interesting background," Goodman told The Associated Press. "It certainly adds to the mystique of Las Vegas."

Facility will support strong demand for aluminum beverage packaging and automotive solutions
ATLANTA, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novelis Inc., the leading sustainable aluminum solutions provider and world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, today announced it will invest $2.5 billion to build a new low-carbon recycling and rolling plant in Bay Minette, Alabama, USA. The highly advanced facility will have an initial 600 kilotonnes of finished aluminum goods capacity per year.
"This investment marks the start of another transformational growth phase for Novelis," said Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group and the Novelis Board of Directors. "We continue to invest in each of the markets Novelis serves – from beverage can to automotive, aerospace and specialties – and in all geographies. Novelis has a track record of success in delivering customers the low-carbon, sustainable aluminum solutions they seek, and we will continue that storied history with this investment and others to come."
More than half of the capacity of the new facility will be used to serve growing demand for aluminum beverage can sheet in North America, which is driven by consumer preference for more sustainable packaging.
"Through this investment, we are making a demonstrative commitment to continue to grow alongside our customers and meet their needs for low-carbon, highly sustainable aluminum solutions," said Steve Fisher, President and CEO of Novelis Inc. "In addition, we are well-positioned to efficiently expand capacity at this facility in the future – above the 600kt announced today – to capture ongoing strong demand. Our readiness to invest to serve growing markets is a perfect example of how we are delivering on our company purpose of shaping a sustainable world together."
Novelis' decision to build a fully integrated, greenfield recycling and rolling plant is backed by strong North American demand for flat-rolled, low-carbon aluminum from can makers and beverage companies. Aluminum beverage cans, bottles and cups are the models of sustainable packaging and the circular economy. With an average "can-to-can" lifecycle of just a couple of months, a can that is recycled today can be back on store shelves in as little as 60 days.
"As the world's leading supplier of infinitely recyclable aluminum beverage packaging, Ball is committed to creating a circular economy within the aluminum industry and decarbonizing the value chain is fundamental to this work," said Ron Lewis, Ball Corporation's chief operating officer, global beverage packaging. "Novelis' new recycling and rolling plant will not only add much needed domestic production of sustainable aluminum here in North America but will do so while decreasing the carbon footprint of the products we create."
The facility will be the first fully integrated aluminum mill built in the U.S. in 40 years. It is expected to create up to 1,000 high-paying, advanced careers in modern manufacturing. It will also be the most sophisticated and sustainable of its kind. It will aim to be net carbon neutral for Scope 1 and 2, be powered primarily by renewable energy, use recycled water and be a zero-waste facility. It will also rely on railroad transportation, which can reduce logistics-related carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to road transport. The plant will make significant use of advanced automation and digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, augmented reality and robotics.
With the addition of a new recycling center for beverage cans, Novelis will soon be able to recycle 90 billion cans globally, up from the 74 billion used beverage cans the company currently recycles. To support this, Novelis has been working to develop circular economies for aluminum through state and federal public policies, as well as through partnerships with customers and other stakeholders on new approaches that encourage and incentivize U.S. consumers to recycle more often.
"Aluminum cans are an important form of packaging that, when recycled, play a vital role in our overall efforts to reduce waste," said John Murphy, Chief Financial Officer of The Coca-Cola Company. "The announcement of this new, low-carbon recycling and rolling facility by our longtime partners at Novelis will benefit the Coca-Cola system, our customers and consumers, while reducing impact on the environment."
Site work is under way now and the company expects to begin commissioning in mid-2025.
In addition to the beverage can market, the facility will also serve the automotive market, where aluminum is the fastest growing material as automakers make plans to achieve their sustainability goals.
About Novelis
Novelis Inc. is driven by its purpose of shaping a sustainable world together. We are a global leader in the production of innovative aluminum products and solutions and the world's largest recycler of aluminum. Our ambition is to be the leading provider of low-carbon, sustainable aluminum solutions and to achieve a fully circular economy by partnering with our suppliers, as well as our customers in the aerospace, automotive, beverage can and specialties industries throughout North America, Europe, Asia and South America. Novelis had net sales of
$17.1 billion in fiscal year 2022. Novelis is a subsidiary of Hindalco Industries Limited, an industry leader in aluminum and copper, and the metals flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai. For more information, visit novelis.com.

Todd D Robinsonarrives this Wednesday in Mexican territory to discuss with the AMLO government the prevention of fentanyl trafficking among other drugs, the State Department announced.
Fentanyl is a drug derived from opium and, like morphine, it is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from intolerable pain. It is also illegally trafficked and consumed mixed with other drugs.
According to the Commission to Combat Trafficking in Synthetic Opioids, Mexico is listed as the “main source” of fentanyl trafficking. The consumption of this and other substances reported by the Commission last February, was the cause of over 100 thousand overdose deaths in the United States in just one year.
Todd Robinson and Serena Hoy, deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, will study Wednesday with officials from the López Obrador cabinet “the urgent need for bilateral action to prevent the production and trafficking of fentanyl” reported the State Department.

In turn, they will deal with issues related to the progress made in the framework of the bicentennial on Security, Public Health and Safe Communities on both sides of the border between Mexico and the USA and measures to improve border security will be discussed.
Robinson is scheduled to on Thursday attend in Tijuana, to a Strategic Border Infrastructure Forum where priorities and the necessary modernization of this area will be discussed.
As usual in these meetings, the migration issue will also occupy an important place in the topics to be analyzed.
According to the United States Customs and Border Protection office, 221,303 undocumented immigrants have been detained in the month of March alone on the southern border of the neighboring country.
It is expected that this number could increase after May 23 when a sanitary regulation (“Title 42”) that was in force during the Covid-19 pandemic, which empowered the United States to expel the majority of undocumented immigrants, ceases to be in force. .
The US Ambassador in Mexico goes to the Palace to, presumably, discuss issues related to the Summit of the Americas
Ken Salazar, US Ambassador in Mexico, was seen this Tuesday in the Palace once AMLO made public his intention not to attend the Summit of the Americas if not all the countries of the region are present.
yesand it is still unknown if he finally met with AMLO since he left the venue without attending to the press.
During his morning conference, AMLO announced his intention to protest peacefully not attending one Summit from which the representatives of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua are excluded

Celebrity blogger Eugene Osafo-Nkansah, aka Nkonkonsa, does not love his wife Victoria Lebene as much as she loves him.
This is according to scores of Ghanaians who have quickly come to this conclusion after sighting a video of the actress trying to be romantic with her husband in public.
While dancing to an Afrobeats song playing in the background, Lebene turned her back to her husband and twerked for him like every woman would do to get her man’s attention.
But Eugene stealthily pulled away amid smiles while he tried to open a bottle of champagne.
Reacting to the video, some people have argued that he was probably shy to latch onto his wife’s bum because of the gazing eyes of the guests.
Others also believe Lebene loves Eugene more than she does because there’s no way a husband who is proud of his wife would ignore her in public.
See some reactions sampled below:
Many also believe Lebene was trying hard to make everyone believe they are happily married with little to no trouble at home, despite Abena Korkor having previously exposed her husband’s infidelity which could have ruined their marriage.
Well, you can judge this for yourself. | https://www.ghpage.com/ghanaians-react-after-nkonkonsa-ignores-his-wife-victoria-lebene-in-new-video/235851/ | 2022-05-11T10:33:15Z | https://www.ghpage.com/ghanaians-react-after-nkonkonsa-ignores-his-wife-victoria-lebene-in-new-video/235851/ | false | 1 |

INDIANAPOLIS — Richard Propes has dedicated more than 30 years of his life to combatting domestic violence and violence against children. He founded the Tenderness Tour in 1989 and has since traveled over 6,000 miles in a wheelchair across the state to raise money for organizations preventing domestic violence. He is a double amputee.
"One of the great things about being in a wheelchair is I do think that it disarms people," Propes said. "I think some of the natural cynicism we can get in our society, I don't get that most of the time. I get curiosity. I get people who want to tell me about their loved one in a wheelchair, I get people who ask questions, and of course, yes, people who want to know about the cause."
This Thursday, Propes will embark on a 50-mile tour from Broad Ripple to Elwood to support the brand new Catalyst Youth Center.
"I am getting older, I'm in my 50s now and I started this when I was in my 20s," Propes said. I have spina bifida, so I've massively outlived my life expectancy already. And I think that there's a certain degree of people thinking, 'you know, if he can do that, then I can do something else, or I can give or I can show up or I can volunteer.'"
It'll be his first tour since 2019, when he did more than 600 trips around Monument Circle. He did one lap representing each child that had died as a result of violence in Indiana in the 30 years of the Tenderness Tour.
Shortly after that event, Propes experienced an upper-leg amputation on his left leg.
"This is a good confidence builder for me. I love touring, I honestly do," Propes said. "I tell people there's no better way to meet Hoosiers than 2 to 3 miles an hour, and that's about what I travel."
Propes is hoping to raise $10,000 for the new youth center in Elwood.

BURNETT COUNTY, Wis. (WCCO) — A large grass fire in northwestern Wisconsin on Saturday led to homes being evacuated for a short time.
The Burnet County Sheriff’s Office says the fire, which burned between Swiss Lake Township and Webb Lake Township, has since been contained. The fire raged in an area roughly 65 miles south of Duluth.
At the request of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the sheriff’s office says it issued evacuation notices for some homes in the area while crews battles the flames. The evacuation order has since been lifted.
As of Saturday evening, crews were still working to put out hot spots. Residents were asked to avoid the area.
Earlier in the day, Wisconsin officials issued fire warnings for several counties in the state, saying that dry conditions, high winds and low humidity made the risk of wildfires particularly high.
Across the Mississippi River, grass fires also burned in Minnesota. One fire scorched more than 80 acres in the Twin Cities suburb of Blaine. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595282500811/mdh-liver-inflammation-in-3-minnesota-children-could-be-linked-to-national-hepatitis-cluster | 2022-05-11T10:35:21Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595282500811/mdh-liver-inflammation-in-3-minnesota-children-could-be-linked-to-national-hepatitis-cluster | false | 37 |

Delaware State University, a historically Black college, says women’s lacrosse team was racially profiled during Georgia traffic stop
By Joe Sutton and Claudia Dominguez, CNN
Delaware State University, a historically Black institution, said its women’s lacrosse team was racially profiled by sheriff’s deputies during a traffic stop while traveling through Georgia last month.
The team’s bus was headed north on I-95 in Liberty County on April 20 following a game in Florida when it was stopped “under the pretext of a minor traffic violation,” Delaware State University President Tony Allen said in a statement. Liberty County is on Georgia’s coast, south of Savannah.
During the stop, sheriff’s deputies used drug-sniffing dogs to search students’ suitcases, Allen said.
Video taken by players shows “law enforcement members attempting to intimidate our student-athletes into confessing to possession of drugs and/or drug paraphernalia,” Allen added, noting nothing illegal was discovered.
Liberty County Sheriff William Bowman said the bus was pulled over for violating a state law that requires a bus or motorcoach to operate in the two most right-hand lanes unless the bus or motor coach is preparing for a left turn or moving to or from an HOV lane, and the driver was issued a warning.
“We were not aware that this stop was received as racial profiling,” Bowman said during a news conference Tuesday. “Although I do not believe any racial profiling took place based on the information I currently have, I welcome feedback from our community on ways that our law enforcement practices can be improved while still maintaining the law,” he said.
Sophomore lacrosse player Sydney Anderson wrote about the encounter in the Delaware State newspaper last week.
“Everyone was confused as to why they were looking through the luggage, when there was no probable cause,” Anderson wrote.
“The team members were in shock, as they witnessed the officers rambling through their bags. They brought the K-9 dog out to sniff their luggage. The cops began tossing underwear and other feminine products, in an attempt to locate narcotics,” she said.
The deputies spent 20 minutes checking the bags and said they were doing so “in case of child trafficking or drugs,” Anderson said.
Deputies had been patrolling the interstate that day and “there were several other commercial vehicles stopped that morning, including another bus where contraband was located,” Bowman said.
Video shows deputies on the bus
A video shared by Delaware State University shows two White deputies standing at the front of the bus and telling passengers they are going to search their luggage.
One deputy can be heard saying, “If there is anything in y’all’s luggage, we’re probably going to find it — OK. I’m not looking for a little bit of marijuana, but I’m pretty sure you guys’ chaperones are probably going to be disappointed in you if we find any.”
The officer continued: “So if there is something in there that’s questionable, please tell me now. Because if we find it, guess what — we’re not going to be able to help you. You are in the state of Georgia, marijuana is still illegal.”
CNN has not been able to confirm what happened before the filming started or what happened after the recording stopped. CNN also requested additional clips of the incident from the university and was told by the university’s director of News Services, Carlos Holmes, that other video exists but the quality was poor.
The deputies involved were not identified by the sheriff during the news conference.
Bowman noted the deputies informed the passengers once onboard that a search would be completed. He explained that regardless of race, gender or age, the same protocol would be performed. However, he said no personal items on the bus or any person were searched.
“Before entering the motorcoach, the deputy was not aware that this school was historically black or aware of the race of the occupants due to the height of the vehicle and tinted windows,” Bowman said.
“More than anything, we want feedback from the passengers of the Delaware State University Lacrosse Team on what communication approaches can be considered that we simply may not be aware of,” the sheriff said Tuesday.
CNN reached out to Delaware State University for comment following the news conference held by the Liberty County sheriff.
In his statement, Allen called the incident a “humiliating process” and said the university is “exploring options for recourse — legal and otherwise — available to our student-athletes, our coaches, and the University.”
“We do not intend to let this or any other incident like it pass idly by. We are prepared to go wherever the evidence leads us. We have video. We have allies. Perhaps more significantly, we have the courage of our convictions,” Allen said in the statement.

China hit back on Wednesday against what it called "irresponsible" comments by the head of the World Health Organization, who described the country's uncompromising and increasingly painful "zero COVID" policy as "not sustainable."
The policy has placed hundreds of millions of people across dozens of cities under various degrees of movement restrictions, most dramatically in Shanghai, causing significant economic damage in China and beyond and fuelling wide-spread frustration.
Officials in Shanghai, now in its sixth week under a sweeping lockdown, said on Wednesday half the city had achieved "zero COVID" status, but restrictions would remain in place.
China's uncompromising approach stands in contrast to most other parts of the world, where governments have chosen to live with the virus. In rare public comments on a government's policies, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday China's zero-tolerance strategy is not sustainable and that it was time for a change in approach.
Tedros' comments were not covered in China's state media and were censored on social media, with the only official response coming at a regular foreign ministry news conference.
"We hope the relevant individual can view Chinese COVID policy objectively and rationally and know the facts, instead of making irresponsible remarks," spokesman Zhao Lijian said.
China's leaders last week threatened action against critics of the policy, which authorities say "puts life first." Critics of the WHO have previously accused the U.N agency as being too close to China, which the WHO denies. China has pointed to the millions of deaths caused by COVID in other countries. Its official toll since the virus first emerged in the city of Wuhan in late 2019 is just over 5,000, far below the nearly 1 million deaths in the United States.
New modelling by scientists in China and the United States sees the risk of just over 1.5 million COVID deaths if China ditches its current policy without any safeguards such as ramping up vaccination and access to treatments.
Only half of China's over-80s are vaccinated. A United Nations Weibo post of Tedros' comments was removed from the Twitter-like platform shortly after being posted. The United Nations and Weibo did not respond to requests for comment. WeChat, another platform, disabled sharing of a similar U.N. post, citing a "violation of rules." "It shows that Beijing has zero tolerance on anyone who challenges its COVID-zero policy," Fang Kecheng, a Chinese media researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said about the censorship.
"This issue has been entirely politicised and any dissenting opinion would be considered as challenging the top leadership." China's social media has nonetheless been an important avenue for residents to express their resentment over the restrictions, with users playing a cat-and-mouse game with censors to share personal accounts of their hardship.
Residents unable to leave their homes have complained over lost income, difficulties sourcing food, poor access to healthcare and unsanitary quarantine conditions.
RISK OF REBOUND
Data showed Shanghai, which is home to 25 million people, recorded no cases outside areas under the strictest curbs on Tuesday for the first time since May 1. Half of the city's 16 districts had achieved zero COVID status having not recorded any such cases for three days. Still, officials said it was not time to ease curbs.
"The risk of a rebound remains,” said Zhao Dandan, deputy director of Shanghai's health commission. The lockdown was tightening, with the city making what it hoped would be a final push to eradicate infections before easing restrictions, potentially by the end of the month.
An increasing number of residents in previously less strictly sealed areas of Shanghai have in recent days seen new fences erected around their housing compounds and have received notices that they would not be allowed outside anymore. Shanghai's latest daily tally of 1,487 new infections was the lowest since March 23.
In Beijing, many businesses have been closed and large numbers of people worked from home as the city tried to end an outbreak that saw 56 new cases in the last 24 hours.
CRITICAL SUPPLIES
Shanghai's lockdown has tested the ability of manufacturers to function under COVID curbs, with Tesla's Shanghai plant operating well below capacity this week due to problems securing parts.
China's auto sales plunged 47.6% year-on-year in April, data showed on Wednesday. The impact on supplies of critical goods was far-reaching.
Some of the largest U.S. hospitals said on Tuesday they were facing critical shortages of products used in CT scans, x-rays and radiography as a result of reduced production in Shanghai.
General Electric's healthcare unit said on Tuesday it had increased output of chemicals used for medical scans and tests at its factory in Ireland to compensate for its Shanghai factory not operating at full capacity.

Sinn Fein set for first win in Northern Ireland election
BELFAST, Northern Ireland — (AP) — Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein was widely expected to become the largest group in the Northern Ireland Assembly for the first time, with vote-counting in this week's election resuming Saturday.
If Sinn Finn emerges victorious, it will be entitled to the post of first minister in Belfast for the first time since Northern Ireland was founded as a Protestant-majority state in 1921.
A Sinn Fein win in the election would be a milestone for a party long linked to the Irish Republican Army, a paramilitary group that used bombs, bullets and other forms of violence to try to take Northern Ireland out of U.K. rule during decades of unrest. It would also bring Sinn Fein’s ultimate goal of a united Ireland a step closer.
But the party has kept such issues low down on its agenda during a campaign that has been dominated by more immediate concerns, namely the skyrocketing cost of living.
With about 50 of 90 seats counted so far, results showed that Sinn Fein has 18 seats, while the Democratic Unionist Party, which has been the largest in the Northern Ireland Assembly for two decades, have 13.
The centrist Alliance Party, which doesn't identify as either nationalist or unionist, has seen support surge and has 10 seats so far.
A unionist party has held the role of Northern Ireland's first minister since the 1998 peace agreement that ended decades of Catholic-Protestant conflict. Under a power-sharing system created by that agreement, the jobs of first minister and deputy first minister are split between the biggest unionist party and the largest nationalist one.
Both posts must be filled for a government to function, but the Democratic Unionist Party has suggested it might not serve under a Sinn Fein first minister.
The DUP has also said it will refuse to join a new government unless there are major changes to post-Brexit border arrangements, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol, that are opposed by many unionists.
The post-Brexit rules have imposed customs and border checks on some goods entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K. The arrangement was designed to maintain an open border between Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland, a key pillar of the peace process.
But it angered unionists, who maintain that the new checks have created a barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K. that undermines their British identity.
In February the DUP's Paul Givan resigned as first minister as post-Brexit tensions triggered a fresh political crisis in Northern Ireland.
Sinn Fein's vice-president Michelle O’Neill said the party wanted to work “in partnership with others.”
“That is the only way we will achieve much, much more for people here, whether in terms of the cost-of-living crisis or trying to fix our health service," she said.
She also said that with regard to Irish unification, there would be no constitutional change until voters decide on it.
Party leader Mary Lou McDonald indicated on Friday that planning for any unity referendum could come within the next five years.
The full results of the election, which uses a system of proportional representation, were expected later in the weekend.
The new legislators will meet next week to try to form an executive. If none can be formed within six months, the administration will collapse, triggering a new election and more uncertainty.

Everton have won two in a row this season for the first time since late August and early September. Beating Brighton and Burnley at that time seemed like it was setting a foundation for a good campaign, but the last two victories are arguably more important and impressive. Beating Chelsea and Leicester City has lifted the Blues out of relegation territory - for now - and three points against Watford could further safeguard Everton from an appearance in the Championship next season.
Watford have been struggling this season and are already assured of a Championship appearance next season. No matter who has been coaching the side - and there have been three bosses for that outfit this year - the results have been largely unfortunate despite the wonderful young talent that the team possesses.
This is a disappointment for the Hornets and their fans to be sure, but Everton cannot afford to take this game lightly at all. They need three points and against an already-relegated Watford who have nothing to lose, the risk remains high.
Ahead of Wednesday’s match, we spoke to sportswriter for Betway and Hornets fan, Adam Drury:
RBM: First off, with Watford bound for the Championship once again, what is the feeling like around the club and its supporters as this season winds down?
The mood at the club is the lowest it’s been in the decade since the Pozzo takeover. Gino Pozzo is a very private, but hands-on owner. He makes big calls without ever explaining them publicly. When those decisions were proactive and taken with a clear vision for the club in mind, Watford supporters were happy to hop on for the ride.
Now that the big, bold calls are so reactive and not in line with any obvious strategy or common goal, the privacy of the owner is a huge source of discontent.
Nobody can understand the direction Pozzo and chairman Scott Duxbury are taking the club and the disparate selection of head coaches and players are all increasingly unpopular, not least Roy Hodgson, who is becoming probably the most disliked manager of the generation.
RBM: The club changed coaches numerous times this season, and yet the team was still unable to get the best from these players; what went wrong for Watford this season?
Primarily, the failure to recruit a head coach or a squad of players with any common goal or purpose. When one head coach has failed, the club have lurched to the polar opposite profile to replace him in a panicked haze.
Seven years ago, Watford were promoted to the Premier League and immediately replaced Slavisa Jokanovic with Quique Sanchez Flores, who fit the bill to keep the team in the division and was backed with his type of player.
This time, Pozzo failed to show the same degree of ruthlessness, sticking with Xisco Munoz - who was never equipped for the job - before replacing him with Claudio Ranieri just seven games into the season. When that didn’t work, Hodgson came in. He’s also failed.
Three defensive reinforcements arrived in January, an acknowledgment that they failed to recruit properly last summer, and then a managerial change was made two games later. When every key recruit is so misaligned from the next, it’s a recipe for trouble.
RBM: Who from this side will likely find themselves back with the club next season and who is more likely to find themselves sought after in the Premier League and elsewhere with Watford’s relegation?
Ismaila Sarr and Emmanuel Dennis are almost certain to leave. If Watford can get £50m combined for the pair, that would be a positive result. Moussa Sissoko will probably leave, too, after a poor second half to the season.
Hassane Kamara, Imran Louza, Joao Pedro, and Cucho Hernandez are the players I most hope we keep hold of this summer. Watford should be competitive if they build their Championship side around them.
RBM: With Roy Hodgson always only a short-term fix, who should this team be looking for to coach the remaining players and youth lads up in the coming season or seasons?
We’re into root-and-branch review territory. The club needs a major cultural reset. There is some suggestion that that’s been acknowledged within the club, and that they plan to kickstart it by hiring a young, homegrown manager. A progressive coach to develop a consistent style of play, turn the young players into highly valuable assets, and get supporters excited again. That might be John Eustace, who is a Watford hero from his playing days and is earning impressive reviews in his early years as a coach.
Most important for me is that the club shows a little more humility and transparency, and settles on a style of coach and player they want to recruit for the long-term. That way, any future hires can be made to fit that brief. Actions speak louder than words, and we’ll see how the club reacts if the team isn’t competing for promotion under a coach they’d planned to build a project around next season.
RBM: Who do you think could really cause Everton some problems on Wednesday, and how do you think Watford will line up?
Honestly, I don’t think Everton will have any problems on Wednesday. Watford have lost 11 consecutive home matches, after all. Ismaila Sarr is totally bereft of form and confidence, the midfield lacks any creativity or control, and the back four isn’t good enough to compensate.
Emmanuel Dennis is the only player to have consistently played with personality and belief, so if Watford are to achieve anything here he will probably be key. More likely, a hostile atmosphere creates the perfect conditions for Everton to win easily.
Likely XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Kabasele, Masina, Kayembe, Sissoko, Sema, Sarr, King, Dennis.
RBM: Finally, what’s your prediction for Wednesday’s match?
Watford 0-3 Everton

Ten most guarded Presidents in Africa
All presidents in Africa have their security detail, but as has always been the case, some Heads of State are more guarded.
Also, presidents require maximum protection in order to discharge their mandate and serve without fear.
According to Displore, heavily guarded presidents are likely those that have suffered political and civil unrest in the recent years.
They include;
10. Emmerson Mnangagwa – Due to the unrest witnessed in the Southern Africa country that led to the ‘clean’ coup of deceased President Robert Mugabe, Mnangagwa’s security detail especially when he is on official duties both in and out of the country has been reinforced. The 80-year old moves in an armored limousine followed by several presidential guards, complete with high speeding motorcycles.
9. Paul Biya – Having served as Cameroon President for four decades, no cases of attack have been heard since the failed coup d’état in 1984. The 89-year old rides in an armored range rover or armored limousine on special occasions. His convey comprises of high speed land cruisers, Mercedes Benz s class and more than 20 high speed motorcycles. If he travels out of the country, President Biya takes more than 20 body guards for his safety and protection. Biya is the second most long leader in Africa.
8. Alassane Ouattara – The Cote d’ Ivorie President is heavily protected guards both in and out of the country. His presidential motorcade is always surrounded by bodyguards who follow his vehicle on foot till it gets out of the reach of the public.
7. King Mohammed VI – The King of Morocco rides in an armored Mercedes S500 and a range rover when he goes to mountainous places. His motorcade comprises of an ambulance and he is ever escorted by 20 motorcycles. He is believed to be the richest Head of State in Africa.
6. Muhammadu Buhari – The Nigerian President heads the most populous country in Africa and his motorcade is amongst the largest presidential convoys in Africa made of several high speed armored Mercedes Benz and police motorcycles. Each time President Buhari goes outside the country he takes more than 10 body guards.
5. Paul Kagame – He has one of the most expensive presidential cars in Africa, an armored range rover. His convoy consist of high speeding police motorcycles, armored Mercedes Benz, land cruisers and a security guard who surrounds his car each time he makes public appearance.
4. Cyril Ramaphosa – The South African President’s entourage consists of armored motorcade and heavily protected presidential guards especially when he is on official duties.
3. Uhuru Kenyatta – The Kenyan president’s car is an armored Mercedes Benz with his convoy comprising of more than 10 high speed police motorcycles and several high speed expensive cars. Each time he is out of the country, President Kenyatta takes more than 10 body guards.
2. Alpha Condé- The Guinea President is ever accompanied by more than 10 high speed motorcycles and land cruisers. Each time he is in a ceremony that needs him to get close to citizens or outside Guinea, President Condé is carries along more than 20 body guards.
1. King Mswati III- Having been the King of Swaziland since 1986, King Mswati III appears in public shirtless which he says is his way of respecting the African cultures and values. He is known for his practice of polygamy and up to last year he had 15 wives. His motorcade comprises of high speed motorcycles and heavily armed security guards. | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/ten-most-guarded-presidents-in-africa/ | 2022-05-11T10:47:59Z | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/ten-most-guarded-presidents-in-africa/ | true | 1 |
Ukrainians stop Russian gas at one hub, make gains in east
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) - Ukraine stopped the flow of Russian natural gas on Wednesday through a hub that feeds European homes and stoves, while Kyiv’s military claimed it made some gains in grinding battles near a key northeastern city.
In 11 weeks, the war has played out on battlefields in Ukrainian towns and cities but also in energy and financial markets, as Ukraine’s allies in the West have sought to deprive Russia of money needed to fund the war with sanctions and energy embargoes.
The practical impact of Wednesday’s gas cutoff for European households was not immediately clear: Ukraine’s pipeline operator said it would switch supply to another hub, and an analyst said transit should not be affected.
But Russia’s state-owned giant Gazprom indicated some falloff: It said it was sending gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine in the amount of 72 million cubic meters, apparently down 25% from the day before.
Preliminary flow data suggested higher rates moving through a second station in Ukrainian-controlled territory. Russian gas flows to Europe through other pipelines as well.
It was also not clear if Russia would take any immediate hit, since it has long-term contracts and other ways of transporting gas.
WARNING: Some videos used may contain graphic content.
But the move could hold symbolic significance as the first time Ukraine has disrupted the flow westward. It comes as the European Union has sought to reduce its dependence on Russian energy, phasing out its use of coal and considering doing the same for oil. Gas presents a more complicated problem, given both how much Europe uses and the technical difficulties in sourcing it elsewhere.
On the battlefield, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s military had pushed Russian forces out of four villages near Kharkiv — the country’s second largest city, and a key to Russia’s offensive in the eastern Donbas.
After his forces failed to overrun the capital in the early days of the war, Russian President Vladimir Putin switched his focus to the region, which is Ukraine’s industrial heartland and has also been the site of fighting between Moscow-backed separatists and Ukrainian troops for years.
Zelenskyy suggested the military was gradually pushing Russian troops away from Kharkiv. As his forces appear to gather steam in a nascent counteroffensive, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba voiced what appeared to be increasing confidence — and expanded goals — on Tuesday. He suggested to the Financial Times newspaper that Ukraine could go beyond just forcing Russia back to areas it held before the invasion began 11 weeks ago.
Kuleba’s statement seemed to reflect political ambitions more than battlefield realities: Russian forces have made advances in the Donbas and control more of it than they did before the war began. But it highlights how Ukraine has stymied a larger, better-armed Russian military, surprising many who had anticipated a much quicker end to the conflict.
Meanwhile, the British Defense Ministry said Ukraine was targeting Russian forces on Snake Island in the northwestern Black Sea, in an effort to disrupt Moscow’s attempts to expand its influence.
Russia has sought to reinforce its garrison on Snake Island, while “Ukraine has successfully struck Russian air defenses and resupply vessels with Bayraktar drones,” the ministry said on Twitter. It said Russian resupply vessels had minimum protection after the Russian Navy retreated to Crimea after losing the flagship of its Black Sea fleet.
Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press show fighting there.
But the statement warned: “If Russia consolidates its position on (Snake) Island with strategic air defense and coastal defense cruise missiles, they could dominate the northwestern Black Sea.”
Ukraine’s natural gas pipeline operator said it would stop Russian shipments through a hub in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists because of interference from “occupying forces,” including the apparent siphoning of gas. It also complained about interference along the route last month.
Benchmark European gas futures seesawed Tuesday and Wednesday on the news, meaning consumers may face higher energy bills — at a time of already rising prices.
Higher prices would benefit Russia, though it has massive foreign reserves now given the rapid rise in crude oil prices in recent months as global travel and business resumed in the wake of mass coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.
The hub in question handles about a third of Russian gas passing through Ukraine to Western Europe. Russia’s state-owned natural gas giant Gazprom put the figure at about a quarter.
The move came as Western powers have been looking to ratchet up economic pressure on Moscow and bolster Ukraine’s defenders. The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $40 billion Ukraine aid package Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian officials said a Russian rocket attack targeted an area around Zaporizhzhia, destroying unspecified infrastructure. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The southeastern city has been a refuge for many civilians who have fled a Russian siege in the devastated port city of Mariupol.
With much of the fighting focused in the east, some analysts suggested Russia may be trying to spread Kyiv’s forces thin, by striking the southern port of Odesa, a major gateway for grain that feeds the world as well as a key transit point for Western weapons. Russia targeted the city with several missile strikes this week, the Ukrainians said Tuesday.
To protect Odesa, Kyiv might need to shift forces to the southwest, drawing them away from the eastern front in the Donbas, where they are fighting near Kharkiv to push the Russians back across the border.
Russian aircraft twice launched unguided missiles Tuesday at the Sumy area northeast of Kharkiv, according to the Ukrainian border guard service. The region’s governor said the missiles hit several residential buildings, but no one was killed. Russian mortars hit the Chernihiv region, along the Ukrainian border with Belarus, but there was no word on casualties.

The Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro is one of many places around the country screening the film Utica: The Last Refuge this week. It's an award winning documentary that highlights the success Utica, New York has had welcoming refugees into their community.
And on May 13, a panel of Vermont community members and refugees will discuss the social and economic impacts of these refugee programs around Vermont — impacts they say have been overwhelmingly positive.
VPR’s Mitch Wertlieb spoke Dr. Pablo Bose, director of Global and Regional Studies at the University of Vermont. Bose has been tracing the effects of refugee resettlement in the state and nationwide. Their conversation below has been edited and condensed for clarity.
Mitch Wertlieb: So what's been happening in this small southern Vermont community of Brattleboro that makes the screening of the documentary there especially significant?
Dr. Pablo Bose: Yeah, that's a great question. What is it that we can learn about refugee resettlement in places like Brattleboro? I moved to Vermont from Toronto — a big city that has had a lot of immigrant resettlement over the years. And that's a similar kind of story that when you look at the New Yorks and the Chicagos and the LAs — we've got long histories of that. But what we've seen over the last 20 to 30 years is that immigrants, in general, have been moving to smaller towns. And what we see with refugees, in particular, is that they've been following the same kind of pattern.
But what is less well-known is kind of what happens to people when they move to these places that are outside of the major metro areas. What happens to the places that receive them? And what can that sort of tell us about the future of immigration and refugees?
Who are the refugees that you've been working with or helping in Brattleboro? Where are they from and about how many of them have resettled there?
Brattleboro is a much newer location in Vermont. Historically, pretty much all of the refugee resettlement happened in Chittenden Count. And within Chittenden County, almost all the refugees were resettled in Burlington, Winooski and sort of the surrounding metropolitan area.
Most famously, or infamously, back in 2016-2017, there was a proposal to put Syrian refugees in Rutland, which ran into the headwinds of national controversies around that and the attacks on resettlement programs.
When, under the Biden administration, there was this proposal to restart refugee resettlement in general, Brattleboro came up as one of the places where there was a desire to try something new — whether or not a new resettlement site could be started. It's been, to begin with, Afghan refugees. So that's been the real focus of the program nationally, right now — Afghan refugees. And a little under 200 individuals have come to southern Vermont through this program as of right now.
And I loved this documentary because it showed so many of the different kinds of aspects of what was going on. It doesn't shy away from telling those harder stories and the very real ups and downs that people encounter, but it also gives such a kind of a vivid portrait of the ways in which a neighborhood can really resuscitate itself.
And what has the reception been like for them? What are they saying about it? What's the community saying about it. How it's gone so far?
You know, there's been some bumps along the way. But for the most part, it's been quite successful. There's been a lot of community support, a lot of innovation that's been going on. And there's also been a lot of support for this from the agencies that are based in Chittenden County, which have more experience doing some of this work — especially in Vermont.
Dr. Bose, I don't want to focus just on the negative, but you did bring up the experience in Rutland in 2016. Does it matter where these refugees come from? You mentioned those were mostly Syrian refugees that were proposed to be resettled in Rutland. The refugees we're talking about here in Brattleboro, mostly from Afghanistan. Certainly people are going to be thinking about refugees possibly coming from Ukraine in the near future. So does this make a difference about where these folks are coming from?
More from VPR: Three Years After Rutland Refugee Debate, The City Still Needs People
Yeah, I mean, this is one of the curiosities that, for a long time the refugee program in the U.S. has resettled people from multiple different places. And especially since the 1980s or so we've had refugees from Vietnam and Southeast Asia. We've had refugees from Bosnia and central Europe, from Burma, from Bhutan, a number of different refugee communities from Africa. And it's certainly true that many of them have struggled with different kinds of issues in resettling here — the question of race, of religion.
But by-and-large refugee resettlement in Vermont has been pretty successful. I think what happened in Rutland — as I said, national headwinds, you know— this was a period right after 2015-2016 — you'd seen this great kind of uptick in global anxieties around terrorism, about migrant influxes into Europe, in particular. A number of different things that got unfairly, in many cases, kind of tagged on to Syrian refugees in particular.
There were a lot of people who were very supportive of refugee resettlement in Rutland. There were other people who were vocally opposed. Now, there are some legitimate criticisms that you could raise about the process and about some of the concerns that people might have legitimately had. But there are lots of other kinds of anxieties that really are just masking other kinds of issues that people might have had, as you said. It might have been because they're Muslim refugees, because they're Syrian, whatever it is.
But beyond this, between 2014 and 2019, I asked a question on the annual Vermonter Poll regarding support for refugee resettlement, and I found a pretty consistently high level of support amongst Vermonters across the state for refugee resettlement. I'm asking that question again this year. And I'll be curious to see the answer.
And what about this documentary? I mean, it's focused on Utica, not Brattleboro specifically. But are folks in Brattleboro going to come away seeing this maybe getting a greater understanding of these efforts?
You know, sometimes we get the kind of story of refugee resettlement which is all and only about hardship, and that often also leaves out the story of the place that is being resettled into. And I loved this documentary because it showed so many of the different kinds of aspects of what was going on. It doesn't shy away from telling those harder stories and the very real ups and downs that people encounter, but it also gives such a kind of vivid portrait of the ways in which a neighborhood can really resuscitate itself. Homes being reoccupied and fixed up. Businesses being started and restarted.
One of the reasons that I think a film like this can be so useful for cities like Brattleboro, but also Rutland and other places in the Midwest that kind of look at this story of revitalization — is it's a really hopeful story, and that's what I really like about it.

Boeing clashes with key supplier ahead of Starliner spacecraft launch
By Joey Roulette
WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) - Boeing Co is feuding with Aerojet Rocketdyne, a key supplier for its Starliner spacecraft, as the U.S. aerospace giant races to test launch the uncrewed astronaut capsule and mend its reputation in the space sector, people familiar with the matter said.
The CST-100 Starliner is scheduled for a May 19 Florida launch atop an Atlas 5 rocket to the International Space Station, with Boeing aiming to show NASA that the spacecraft is safe to ferry astronauts to and from the orbiting outpost. Software failures cut short a similar 2019 uncrewed test flight.
The mission is a crucial step toward re-establishing Boeing as a viable rival to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX, a drive complicated by Boeing's disagreement with propulsion system supplier Aerojet, according to three people who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Chicago-based Boeing and El Segundo, California-based Aerojet are at odds over the cause of a problem involving fuel valves in the Starliner propulsion system that forced a postponement of a test flight last July, with the two companies faulting one another, the sources said.
The disagreement, which has not been reported before, comes at time when Boeing already is scrambling to emerge from successive crises that have hobbled its jetliner business and drained cash.
The Aerojet dispute is the latest illustration of Boeing's struggles with Starliner, a program costing the company $595 million in charges since 2019. Facing fixed-price NASA contracts that leave Boeing with little wiggle room financially, the company has pressed forward with the Starliner test.
Boeing in a statement provided by a spokesperson to Reuters acknowledged for the first time that it ultimately intends to redesign Starliner's valve system to prevent a repeat of the issue that forced last year's test-flight postponement. The Boeing statement said that "we are working on short- and long-term design changes to the valves."
Thirteen fuel valves that are part of a propulsion system that helps steer Starliner in space were discovered stuck and unresponsive in the closed position, prompting last year's postponement.
The various technical setbacks have pushed Starliner's first flight with people aboard into an unknown future, placing it far behind Musk's SpaceX, whose Crew Dragon capsule, developed under the same NASA program as Starliner, has already flown five astronaut crews for the U.S. space agency.
NASA hopes Boeing can provide additional options to carry astronauts to the space station. NASA in March awarded SpaceX three more missions to make up for Boeing's delays.
A team of Boeing and NASA engineers is in general agreement that the cause of the stuck valves involves a chemical reaction between propellant, aluminum materials and the intrusion of moisture from Starliner's humid Florida launch site.
Aerojet engineers and lawyers see it differently, blaming a cleaning chemical that Boeing has used in ground tests, two of the sources said.
An Aerojet representative declined to comment.
'ROOT CAUSE'
"Testing to determine root cause of the valve issue is complete," Boeing said in its statement, and the work did not find the problems described by Aerojet.
NASA shares that view, Steve Stich, who oversees the Boeing and SpaceX crew programs for the space agency, told Reuters.
Boeing also said Aerojet did not meet its contractual requirements to make the propulsion system resilient enough to resist the problems caused by the chemical reactions.
Boeing last week wheeled Starliner back to the launch pad for a third time ahead of the upcoming launch, having swapped out the propulsion system for a new one with a temporary fix that prevents moisture from seeping into the valve section.
Boeing and NASA said they did not recreate any fully stuck valves during nine months of testing, instead measuring the degree to which valves struggled to open.
This approach was used in order to get Starliner back to the launchpad quickly, two of the sources said.
NASA, Boeing, Aerojet and independent safety advisers are set to meet this week to reach a final determination on the cause of the valve problems and decide whether the temporary fix will work.
Boeing officials privately regard Aerojet's explanation for the faulty valves as a bid to deflect responsibility for the costly delay for Starliner and to avoid paying for a redesigned valve system, two of the sources said.
"It's laughable," one person involved in the joint Boeing-NASA investigation of the value issue said of Aerojet's claim, speaking anonymously to discuss confidential supplier relations. "Getting a valve maker or propulsion system provider to write down, 'Yeah, I screwed that up' ... that's never gonna happen."
After testing and software issues caused Starliner's 2019 failure to dock at the space station, NASA officials acknowledged they had trusted Boeing too much when they decided to devote more engineering oversight to the newer SpaceX than the aerospace giant.
The feud with Aerojet is not Boeing's first Starliner subcontractor quarrel. In 2017, Starliner had an accident during a ground test that forced the president of a different subcontractor to have his leg medically amputated. The subcontractor sued, and Boeing subsequently settled the case.

NOVI — ITC Holdings Corp., the nation’s largest independent electricity transmission company based in Novi, will be conducting aerial patrols of the high-voltage transmission structures and lines in Michigan from about May 16 to June 3, weather permitting.
The helicopter patrols are conducted to provide an overall status of the overhead transmission system that is operated by ITC’s Michigan operating entities, ITCTransmission and Michigan Electric Transmission Company, LLC.
Please note, the helicopters will be flying lower than usual near the transmission lines during these inspections, which is no cause for concern for area residents.
The aerial inspections will cover nearly all the Lower Peninsula, including all or part of the following counties:
• May 16-23: Clinton, Genesee, Gratiot, Huron, Ingham, Jackson, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Midland, Monroe, Oakland, Sanilac, Shiawassee, St. Clair, Tuscola, Washtenaw and Wayne counties.
• May 17-27: Mecosta County, along with Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot, Hillsdale, Ingham, Ionia, Isabella, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Lenawee, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties.
• May 18-June 3: Lake and Osceola counties, along with Alcona, Alpena, Antrim, Arenac, Bay, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Clare, Crawford, Emmet, Gladwin, Grand Traverse, Iosco, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Mason, Midland, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon and Wexford counties.
These patrols are a North American Electrical Reliability Corporation (NERC) requirement for ITC’s vegetation management program, support proactive maintenance objectives, and are in line with the company’s model for operational excellence. They include inspections of all transmission structures and equipment including, but not limited to, monopoles, steel towers, wood poles, conductors (wires), insulators and other equipment.
Crews check for damaged or worn equipment and vegetation hazards. The inspection flights are often conducted at low altitudes to allow accurate visual inspection of equipment for lightning damage, wear or other potential problems. This is normal procedure, so there is no cause for alarm if a low-flying helicopter is sighted near transmission lines.

* Malaysia c.bank raises rate by 25 bps * U.S. yields fall slightly overnight * Investors await U.S. CPI due overnight * China markets higher on lower COVID infections By Harshita Swaminathan May 11 (Reuters) - Malaysia's ringgit edged up after its central bank hiked interest rates to rein in inflation, while other Asian currencies also remained resilient amid a fall in U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar. In a surprise move, the Bank Negara Malaysia raised its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to 2% from a historical low, in line with central banks around the world that have begun a tightening cycle to quell soaring inflation. The ringgit rose 0.1% after the rate announcement, while the country's stocks edged up 0.2%. "The market has been running well ahead of actual policy action," said Frances Cheung, a rates strategist at OCBC Bank, explaining the muted market reaction to the hike. UOB senior economist Julia Goh said the hike was as per expectations as the central bank had flagged earlier that monetary accommodativeness would be consistent with the recovery. Most other Asian currencies including the Singapore dollar and the Indian rupee were trading up between 0.4% and 0.1%. U.S. benchmark bond yields overnight fell below the 3% mark, ahead of inflation data that is expected to show April consumer price growth to have moderated, helping U.S. equities to close higher for the first time in seven sessions. The dollar index slipped 0.3% ahead of inflation data, further boosting Asian currencies. Meanwhile, China's producer prices in April rose at their slowest pace in a year, while consumer prices accelerated at their fastest pace in five months. "This set of data (producer prices) reflects slower economic growth resulting from the COVID-19 social distancing measures," analysts at ING said. Most equity markets in Asia slid, with Philippine stocks leading declines, down 1.3%. Thai and Singaporean stocks also fell about 0.5% each. Chinese markets, however, held up as half of Shangai achieved "zero-COVID" status, according to authorities, and as the U.S. President said he would consider ending tariffs imposed on China during the Trump era. Stocks in China rose 0.8%, while the yuan gained 0.2%.

Brian Abram, of Skircoat Green - also known as Grandad Wheels - spent a year in Pinderfields Spinal Unit after a 2013 bicycle accident left him T9 paraplegic and a full-time wheelchair user.
Inspired by his adventures with his grandson, nine-year-old Charles Stewart, he has written six hilarious books aimed at primary school-aged children all sharing the same theme - that disability is no barrier to having fun.
The Queen is missing today's State Opening of Parliament - the first time in almost 60 years - because of "episodic mobility problems".
The 96-year-old monarch has had to cancel a number of recent public appearances but until Monday evening, Buckingham Palace had been saying the Queen hoped to attend today's ceremony in Westminster.
In response to her having to send Prince Charles to the event instead, Brian has posted a message on Twitter which has been seen and supported by the Chief Executive of the Spinal Injuries Association.
Brian wrote: "Now then Liz, you're cancelling a few things just lately and the news keeps telling us it is because of 'mobility issues'.
"Can I respectfully suggest you try using a wheelchair? Many people see this as 'giving in' to age/fragility/disability. But it really isn't.
"It is just using a tried and tested piece of kit to make your life easier. A wheelchair empowers and enables you to do so much more than without it.
"It might also help make you less tired and in less pain and discomfort.
"Oh, and just think what a positive message this would send to the public at large.
"Get a gold one and pimp it up like one of your carriages. You've got loads of footmen to push you. Pulled by corgis even?"
Brian said he was inspired after seeing comedian Rosie Jones on Channel 4's Last Leg discussing how she had initially been reluctant to use a wheelchair but now celebrated that it allowed her more freedom. | https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifaxs-grandad-wheels-suggests-queen-stops-cancelling-appearances-and-be-seen-in-a-wheelchair-if-she-needs-one-3687703 | 2022-05-11T11:04:34Z | https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifaxs-grandad-wheels-suggests-queen-stops-cancelling-appearances-and-be-seen-in-a-wheelchair-if-she-needs-one-3687703 | true | 2 |

In a separate story TUKO.co.ke. reported that the residents of Makeji village in Kandara, Murang'a county were left in shock after an overnight fire claimed the lives of six family members.
In the Saturday, April 9 night incident, which is suspected to be an arson attack, a 58-year-old widow, her three children and two grandchildren were burnt to death.
Among the children was Lucy Mumbi, who had just completed sitting her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) at Gathoro Secondary School and Margaret Wanja who was in Form Two.
A sister of the deceased woman was, in turn, arrested in connection with the fatal incident for questioning.
The suspect, who was living with the deceased, had moved her belongings from the house before the incident.
Inooro TV reported that the suspected woman and her sister were constantly arguing over land.
She is currently being held at Kabati police station pending completion of investigations into the matter.
The six bodies were moved to General Kago Funeral Home in Thika.

ATP to take action against Wimbledon over Russian ban – reports
Wimbledon is likely to be stripped of its rankings points by the ATP men’s tennis tour after a number of leading players condemned the tournament for its ban on Russian and Belarusian players, according to reports.
The decision could be ratified by the ATP board within the next 24 to 48 hours, according to The Telegraph, which reports that chief executive Andrea Gaudenzi “has little choice” but to follow the advice of players on the issue.
The decision would see Wimbledon deprived of its rankings points and would effectively turn this year’s event into an exhibition tournament.
The move has been on the cards since the ATP strongly condemned the announcement on April 20 by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which organizes the grass court showpiece, that it was banning Russian and Belarusian players because of the conflict in Ukraine.
The decision was mirrored by the UK Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), which will bar players from the two countries from all events in Britain this summer.
UK tennis officials have attempted to justify the ban by saying it is in line with government policy, and that the appearance of stars such as Russian men’s world number two Daniil Medvedev would somehow hand the Russian leadership a propaganda coup.
Both the men’s ATP and women’s WTA tours have suggested that the ban is discriminatory. The two tours have continued to allow Russian and Belarusian players to compete as neutrals – a position shared by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
Men’s world number one Novak Djokovic has described the Wimbledon sanctions as “crazy,” while 21-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal also said he disagrees with the step. British two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray has said is “not supportive” of the ban.
The ATP Player Council includes Nadal, Murray and Swiss icon Roger Federer, as well as nine other men’s stars. Djokovic is part of a separate, independent union.
Players will have an important say in the matter, with three elected player representatives on the ATP board as well as three tournament representatives.
The Daily Mail has reported that a “revolt is brewing” over the issue and that meetings of the ATP hierarchy have been held recently at events in Madrid and Rome.
According to The Telegraph, the women’s WTA “is leaning towards” taking the same step as its male counterpart and is also set to remove rankings points from Wimbledon.
The London Grand Slam – with its mammoth £35 million ($43 million) prize money fund – will still be a major money-spinner for players but will not contribute towards their positions in the world rankings or the race to the end-of-season tour finals.
As a private members’ club, Wimbledon is free to decide which players it invites to the famous tournament at SW19.
Other UK events, however, are held under the auspices of the ATP and WTA and would likely be fined for their non-admittance of Russian and Belarusian players, as well as having rankings points removed.
Aside from US Open champion Medvedev, other big-name stars to be affected by the ban are Russian men’s world number seven Andrey Rublev, Belarusian women’s world number eight Aryna Sabalenka, and two-time Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka.
The French Open, which gets underway on May 22, has stated it will not follow in Wimbledon’s footsteps and will allow Russian and Belarusian players to appear as neutrals. | https://www.rt.com/sport/555283-atp-wimbledon-rankings-points-russians/ | 2022-05-11T11:06:00Z | https://www.rt.com/sport/555283-atp-wimbledon-rankings-points-russians/ | false | 1 |

- evTS signs purchase order with Exro for a first lot of 1,000 Coil Drive System units with initial deliveries beginning in 2023.
- After months of development under NDA and integration into evTS Firefly vehicles, Exro will supply its 100V Coil Drive System.
- After demonstrating the successful integration of the production Exro Coil Drive System, the technology will be deployed in evTS 2023 FireFly vehicles to increase range, efficiency and available torque.
- evTS' innovative FireFly ESV, optimized with Exro's Coil Driver™ technology will make urban essential services and last-mile delivery applications more sustainable, cost-effective and efficient.
- The deal is an expansion of Exro and evTS' partnership to repurpose batteries from evTS vehicles for reuse in second-life energy storage applications, demonstrating Exro's ability to solve multiple challenges for customers on the path to electrification.
CALGARY, AB, May 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Exro Technologies Inc. (TSX: EXRO) (OTCQB: EXROF) (the "Company" or "Exro"), a leading clean technology company that has developed a new class of power electronics for electric motors and batteries, announced today that it has signed an agreement with ev Transportation Services, Inc. ("evTS"), a Boston-based specialty electric vehicle manufacturer, to supply an initial quantity of 1,000 units of its 100V Coil Drive System beginning in 2023 for use in evTS model year 2023 FireFly vehicles.
This first order follows months of collaboration under a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA") between the Exro and evTS engineering teams to demonstrate the improvement and optimization of FireFly powertrain performance enabled by Exro's award-winning Coil Driver™ technology to improve the performance of evTS vehicles. The companies worked together to integrate Exro Coil Drive System technology into Firefly vehicles to optimize the performance of the powertrain. This agreement is the culmination of the cooperative efforts of the two companies to design and deploy high-performing purpose-built, commercial electric vehicles.
This collaboration follows previously stated plans for Exro to repurpose used evTS' traction battery cells in second-life battery energy storage applications, which were made public in December 2021. These two projects with evTS demonstrate the full range of Exro's capabilities in enabling the development of a circular economy utilizing second-life batteries for energy storage, while improving the performance of electric vehicles with its Coil Driver™ technology.
evTS' flagship product, the FireFly ESV, is a lightweight e-mobility solution purpose-built to serve a range of essential urban functions, including parking control and curb management, security and perimeter control, last-mile delivery and corporate campus applications. The addition of the Coil Driver™ to FireFly vehicles will offer greater vehicle efficiencies by enabling intelligent electronic gear switching in real time, from a single motor. This capability will give FireFly ESV operators greater control over vehicle operation and deliver performance improvements, including extended range and enhanced torque when needed.
The agreement commences with an initial purchase order of 1,000 Coil Drive System units, which consists of a Coil Driver™ controller and an optimized electric motor. Over the 36-month term of the agreement, Exro will plan to deliver an increasing volume of its Coil Drive System with production beginning in 2023. With this agreement, evTS FireFly ESVs optimized with Exro's Coil Driver™ will be used to execute essential services in leading sustainability-minded cities around the world.
"Exro's ability to optimize the range and efficiency of the FireFly utilizing what is essentially an electronic automatic transmission creates an exciting competitive advantage for evTS in the lightweight commercial vehicle space," said David Solomont, Chairman and CEO of evTS.

Congress faces limitations on abortion as test vote expected to fail
WASHINGTON (AP) — After fighting for decades over abortion policy, Congress is about to run into the stark political limits of its ability to save — or end — the Roe v. Wade protections.
President Joe Biden has called on Democrats to enshrine the nearly 50-year-old Supreme Court ruling into law after the disclosure of a draft opinion that would overturn the landmark decision that declared a constitutional right to abortion services.
But passing bills is easier said than done in the narrowly split Congress — reflective of a deeply divided nation.
A test vote Wednesday in the Senate on a Democratic bill to protect access to abortions is expected to fail, blocked by a Republican-led filibuster.
At the same time, Republicans led by Sen. Mitch McConnell face similar political problems trying to ban abortions nationwide, even if they wrest control of the chamber in next fall’s midterm elections.
Instead, whatever the Supreme Court decides on Roe v. Wade in its final opinion this summer almost guarantees a new era of political fighting in Congress over abortion policy, filibuster rules and the most basic rights to health care, privacy and protecting the unborn.
“All of us will have to answer for this vote for the rest of our time in public office,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ahead of Wednesday’s action.
In recent years, abortion access debates in many ways have come to a standstill in Congress, a political draw, as lawmakers faced the limits of trying to move public policy beyond the historic Roe v. Wade court decision. Bills would routinely come up for votes — to expand or limit abortion services — only to fall along typically party line votes or be stripped out of broader legislative packages.
But the Supreme Court’s conservative 6-3 majority, solidified during the Trump era, has ignited an urgent shift to the forefront in Congress.
McConnell stunned Washington when he said “it’s possible” to see a national abortion ban.
The Republican leader has been a key architect of the Supreme Court’s solid conservative majority, engineering rapid-fire confirmation of three of Donald Trump’s nominees in just four years and changing Senate filibuster rules to push past Democratic objections.
In an interview with USA Today, McConnell recently said, “If the leaked opinion became the final opinion, legislative bodies — not only at the state level but at the federal level — certainly could legislate in that area.”
But on Tuesday McConnell acknowledged that if Republicans become the majority in the Senate they still are unlikely to have enough votes to ban abortion outright.
“The widespread sentiment in my conference is this issue will be dealt with at the state level,” McConnell said. He said Republicans won’t have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
Likewise, Democrat Brian Schatz of Hawaii said for the other side, “I think we have to be explicit and tell the truth, which is, we don’t currently have the votes.” Still, he said hopefully that if voters elect more senators who favor abortion rights, “we will put this into federal law.”
Both parties face enormous pressure to convince voters they are doing all they can — the Democrats working to preserve abortion access and the Republicans to end it — as they race toward fall when control of Congress is at stake in the elections.
The congressional campaign committees are fundraising off the abortion issue, and working furiously to energize voters who are already primed to engage when such a long-running and important issue for millions of Americans is at stake.
The two Republican senators who support abortion access — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who faces her own reelection in November, and Susan Collins of Maine — have proposed a separate bill that would counter the Supreme Court’s action.
But both senators, who voted to confirm most of Trump’s justices, are expected to stick with the Republican Party this week and block the Democratic bill as too broad.
At the same time, Democrats have largely panned the Collins-Murkowski effort as insufficient, leaving no hopes, for now, of any compromise.
And rank-and-file Republicans distanced themselves from McConnell’s initial remarks, saying an all-out national ban on abortions is not something they can deliver.
“The reality is is that you would never get that done here,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D.
Democrats are unconvinced that Republicans, who have fought for years to deny abortion services, would give that fight up now and let the states decide.
Democrats believe Republicans are “running scared,” Schumer said, afraid of what they have unleashed, with polls showing most Americans want to preserve some access to abortion.
It was McConnell who blocked Barack Obama’s choice of Merrick Garland to fill a Supreme Court vacancy at the start of the 2016 presidential campaign, leaving the seat open for Trump to fill after he won the White House.
And even though McConnell insisted Tuesday there is “zero” interest among Republicans to change Senate filibuster rules to make it easier to pass an abortion ban, it was the GOP leader who orchestrated the Senate rules change to allow 51-vote threshold to confirm Supreme Court nominees.
“Republicans have worked day in and day out for decades on end to overturn Roe v. Wade,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
More likely is that both parties will try to chip away at the issue — Republicans tightening access to abortion at the national level, while Democrats work to shore up the availability of medicinal abortions and other related services.
“There are multiple fronts we can move on,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
In the House, where Democrats have the majority, lawmakers approved the Women’s Health Protection Act last year on a largely party-line vote once the Supreme Court first signaled it was considering the issue by allowing a Texas law’s ban on abortions to take effect.
But the bill has languished in the Senate, evenly split 50-50 with Democratic control because of Vice President Kamala Harris’ ability to cast a tie-braking vote. Unable to mount the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster, a test vote failed in February, with one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joining Republicans to block the bill’s consideration.
A similar outcome is expected Wednesday when the Senate tries again to pass the legislation, which would put the guaranteed right to abortion into law.
It’s the first of what Schumer promises will be repeated efforts to show voters where the parties stand.
“This is no longer just a abstract exercise: Now we know women’s rights are at stake,” Schumer said. “So this vote is the first step. We are going to keep fighting.”

WUSF has been reporting recently on a difficult issue: Legislation aimed at transgender people.
To help highlight other stories of the trans, nonbinary and gender noncomforming community, we asked residents what "Trans Joy" means to them, and we're sharing their stories in an occasional series.
Today we hear from Prin Ocea, a genderqueer St. Petersburg resident who works for Metro Inclusive Health.
"Trans Joy makes me think of a lot of things. Initially, it makes me think of freedom: Freedom to choose how I express myself, without it being tied to any sort of identity or stereotype. I can be masculine, I can be feminine, I can be androgynous. I can be all of the things, all at the same time. And it just feels good and right.
Gender euphoria is a very important word. So a lot of times in the trans community, we talk about and have a focus on gender dysphoria, and how we have a disconnect from between our minds and our bodies or our minds and how other people perceive us. And gender euphoria is a feeling of alignment, a feeling of the way that people are interacting with me makes me feel visible, it makes me feel seen, makes me feel heard, makes me feel valid.
For a long time, I pushed away femininity, because I felt like it invalidated my nonbinary gender or my genderqueer gender. And when I would express anything feminine, I would find myself being misgendered more and people weren't seeing me as my true self. So I would push away femininity a lot.
And then once I found community, and found other nonbinary people, and I was able to start expressing myself more femininely and combining the feminine and masculine together. And that is really what made me feel euphoric when I looked in the mirror.
I work at Metro Inclusive health. I am LGBTQ+ programs coordinator. Looking forward to going and spending my Friday and Saturday evenings with queer youth always gave me the strength to survive my week, just because I knew when I went there, my cup would just be filled with all of their joy and community and connection and questions.
It's really amazing to be able to see someone who comes in for the first time and doesn't know anybody; they're really shy. And then after a few months, they might be going by a new name, they have a bunch of friends in the group. And they're just like coming into themselves. And you just see them smiling all the time.
When we're able to share our stories and our experiences and even just our understandings of our own identity, when we're able to share that with other people in that community, I've seen how that helps people grow and helps people understand themselves better and their own experiences.
Maybe it gives them words that they never had before to describe how they feel. And that is such a big part of connecting with community so that we can share language and share those words and understandings of our experiences."

Showing complete indifference to his party’s fate, President Joe Biden is doing all he can to damage Democrats’ chances for election in the upcoming mid-terms and his re-election in 2024.
Biden’s resolute determination to harm the Democrats may be explained several ways. At age 79, Biden has achieved his lifelong goal of becoming president. After at least two failed efforts in 1988 and 2008, and possibly a third failure, depending on how the facts are interpreted from 1984, Biden is finally in the White House.
Another possible explanation is that Biden knows Democratic leadership considers him, at best, inconsequential, and that Barack Obama is still embraced as the party’s hero. Biden has no reason to care about his fellow Democrats’ fate if they’re indifferent to him. At a White House event to celebrate Obamacare’s 12th anniversary, Biden wandered alone and aimlessly as his apathetic Democratic colleagues flocked giddily around Obama.
Maybe the most obvious reason explains everything. At age 79, Biden is too old to care about his 2024 political future. He’s climbed the White House Mountain; no taller summit remains to conquer.

Perhaps the best indicator of Biden’s reelection disinterest is his refusal to heed his personal, confidential polling firm’s advice on the key issues that concern the nation, specifically immigration and inflation. A New York Times article, “Biden Received Early Warnings that Inflation and Immigration Could Erode his Support,” shows the president has recklessly and lawlessly pressed ahead on open borders and illegal immigration.
Early on in his presidency, according to the article, Biden enjoyed strong national support, but his favorability quickly eroded as the border crisis intensified. The John Anzalone-headed research team found that because voters feel that Biden and his deputies are clueless when it comes to designing a plan to combat the festering border crisis, immigration represents an intensifying vulnerability for the president.
Biden’s failure to slow migration is, the pollsters concluded, “starting to take a toll.” As early as last spring, when trafficked unaccompanied minors strained Health and Human Services capacities, pollsters warned that “immigration is the only issue where the president’s ratings are worse with our targets than with voters overall.” And on July 9, “President Biden continues to hold weaker, negative ratings on two hot-button issues [immigration and crime] that have been recently bubbling up.”
Despite his pollster’s immigration red flags, and the unanimous national consensus that Vice President Kamala Harris’ discover-the-root-causes solution to migration is a bad joke played on U.S. citizens, on May 23, Biden intends to lift Title 42, which has been an important tool in turning away illegal border crossers for health reasons. A Louisiana federal judge’s temporary restraining order that the administration has agreed to honor may delay Title 42’s removal, but if it’s shelved, DHS officials anticipate 18,000 illegal immigrants a day will flood the border.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced what he optimistically labeled as a plan to cope with the historic surge. The costly concept includes spending more taxpayer money on medical support, and more funding for air and ground transportation to release the migrants into the interior from the border. As a footnote to its plan, DHS added that it will use Expedited Removal more frequently. Border agents scoff at the mere suggestion it will be a useful tool. The Times story misses the point, perhaps purposely, about Biden and his cronies. The administration didn’t need to pay taxpayer funds to a professional pollster to advise it that Americans are unhappy. Biden et al don’t care. The arrival of mostly poor, unskilled, limited English-speaking aliens from 150 nations through mass immigration is a fundamental elitist goal. | https://fremonttribune.com/opinion/columnists/white-house-deaf-to-new-york-times-immigration-alarm-bells/article_d78d8653-1df1-58cf-bf80-e31a024f5538.html | 2022-05-11T11:27:15Z | https://fremonttribune.com/opinion/columnists/white-house-deaf-to-new-york-times-immigration-alarm-bells/article_d78d8653-1df1-58cf-bf80-e31a024f5538.html | false | 7 |

Violence continued in Sri Lanka, despite the resignation of its Prime Minister, Mahinda Rajapaksa, after his supporters stormed a sit-in square for protesters in front of the president’s office in the capital, Colombo, on Monday, May 9.
The protests erupted 6 weeks ago due to the lack of fuel and basic materials in the country and the rise in prices, and the economic crisis caused a severe political crisis.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa (brother of the prime minister), and political, administrative and economic reforms, including the abolition of a constitutional amendment that grants the president broad powers.
On Friday, May 6, President Rajapaksa declared a state of emergency for the second time in five weeks, and granted wide powers to the security forces, including allowing them to arrest suspects and detain them for long periods without judicial supervision, and authorized the deployment of soldiers to maintain order and support the police.
Sri Lanka also announced on April 12 that it had defaulted on its $51 billion foreign debt, and started talks with the International Monetary Fund to help it. | https://www.siasat.com/gulf-countries-caution-citizens-against-travelling-to-sri-lanka-2324675/ | 2022-05-11T11:27:43Z | https://www.siasat.com/gulf-countries-caution-citizens-against-travelling-to-sri-lanka-2324675/ | true | 1 |
Colts mailbag: Who would the Colts have drafted in the first round? Is James Bradberry a possibility?
Spring is upon us. The sun is finally out in Indianapolis as the temperatures have risen above 70, and in a few days, Colts rookies will take the practice fields for the first time.
The draft was almost two weeks ago at this point, so we've all had some time to look into the rookies and formulate some first impressions and lukewarm takes. So, it's time to answer some of your questions about these guys.
(To join the next call for mailbag questions, make sure you're following me on Twitter. Also feel free to email questions at the address below.)
Let's get to it:
Q: "Where do you reckon the Colts would have gone at Pick 16 if they still had the pick? (with how the board actually fell)" -- @timdavies21 on Twitter
Alternate realities can be fun, especially when we have some bread crumbs to lead us there. That's what Indianapolis' first pick of Alec Pierce told us.
General manager Chris Ballard always spends his top pick at a major position of need, but he also values the best player available philosophy. Given that, I think he'd have three strong options of players who went in this range: Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson, Northern Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Penning and Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks.
We don't know Ballard's specific grades on these three players, but I don't think he saw offensive tackle as a must-have starting position in this draft. That means he'd have to love Penning that much more than other options.
At wide receiver, Ballard almost always drafts for catch radius and vertical size, as he did in taking the 6-3 Pierce over 5-10 Skyy Moore, who had far more polish. The decision between 6-2 Burks and 5-11 Dotson is rather similar, and I think Ballard would go in the same direction with the bigger player.
With more than 1,100 yards in the Southeastern Conference last season to go with 225-pound size, Burks draws some comparisons to Deebo Samuel and A.J. Brown in his ceiling. A hybrid running back-wide receiver has a harder time finding opportunities in an offense with Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but I bet Ballard trusts Frank Reich, Marcus Brady and Matt Ryan to make it happen.

Q: "If you had to guess, who is that player CB was talking about on “With the Next Pick” that if they were there at 42, he would take them right there and then?" -- @sebjalisco on Twitter
So, if we apply the same above logic about Ballard prioritizing a top need and looking at value at that pick, I think the conversation most likely includes these players taken shortly before the Colts' pick: Georgia safety Lewis Cine, Baylor safety Jalen Pitre, Washington cornerback Kyler Gordon and North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson.
Ballard identified safety and cornerback as needs, but he didn't draft them with his top three picks this year, making them likely not the top needs. Because he believed so much in Nick Cross, who was around in the third, I think it's less likely a safety. Kyler Gordon does check every box he looks for in a prospect, which is partly why he wound up with Matt Eberflus, I also don't think he'd see that position as a huge need.
That leaves Watson as the answer. I've been saying it since I watched his breakout at the Senior Bowl, but he checks every box Ballard likes in his first pick and then some: 6-4 height, 4.36-second speed and elite football character. He's what Pierce is, just taller, faster and more dynamic with the ball in his hands.
Green Bay traded up and took Watson and then the Colts traded back. That's usually the ripple effect that happens when a target gets snagged.
Projecting Colts' depth chart:How Alec Pierce and other rookies fit in
Q: "Will the Colts sign Big Q (Quenton Nelson) to a contract extension before Week 1?" -- @Diny87rg on Twitter
Ballard has made it clear that he's going to re-sign Nelson, saying after the season ended that "Quenton is a Colt." But he also hinted later on that it might not be until a year from now, after Nelson plays out his fifth-year option.
That's the path that elite and secure players take, knowing the rewards only go up as the salary cap does. Denzel Ward waited until after his fifth season to re-sign with the Browns, and he got $100 million out of it. Nelson is a similar caliber of player but at a less premium position, and he knows his team wants to keep him.
Guards are getting paid lately. In the past year, the Browns have signed Joel Bitonio for three years, $48 million and Wyatt Teller for four years, $56.8 million. The Jaguars just signed Brandon Scherff for three years, $49.5 million.
I expect Nelson to top these three if he waits, as he has more youth, durability and All-Pro and first-round pedigree than they do. It all hinges on a mostly healthy season, which is a risk, but Ward took the same plunge after missing 11 games his first four seasons and came out with $100 million. Nelson is a similarly rare player with the leverage on his side.
Q: "Which remaining vet FAs (WR, Backup QB, Leo edge) do you think they'll be most interested in filling out roster with?" -- @MWally21 on Twitter
Ballard loves to talk about year-round player acquisition as a way to acquire bargains and still win the battle for compensatory draft picks. I expect him to sign multiple veterans this way, including one who will command a good deal of playing time.
Ballard got that train started Tuesday by signing swing tackle Dennis Kelly, he of 114 career games and 51 starts. That could take care of the offensive line depth, depending on whether Pryor is a starting left tackle or versatile backup by the start of the season.
The most obvious opening now is at slot receiver. Pierce is an outside receiver by nature and the Colts have very little proven to work in the middle of the field, or where Ryan has always made his money. The best option is Jarvis Landry, but the five-time Pro Bowler has held a high price tag this spring and might not settle for a crowded offense. The more likely options are either T.Y. Hilton, who is fit for a slot role now that he wins with route running and spacial awareness more than speed; or Julio Jones, who brings many of the same characteristics but cannot be counted on to stay healthy.
If the Colts decide they want a veteran backup to Ryan, it's likely Nick Foles will be the guy, given his track record and his connection to Reich. Indianapolis could just roll with Sam Ehlinger and bank on Ryan to stay healthy, as he has for all but one game in the past 12 seasons.
More Colts coverage:Do the Colts need a veteran backup for Matt Ryan?
A veteran on the edge would make sense, given the youth that is still very present even after the addition of Yannick Ngakoue. Carl Nassib or Carlos Dunlap could be good fits here.
If there's a splash to make on defense still, it's at cornerback with James Bradberry, the Pro Bowler the Giants just made a cap casualty. Unlike the draft options, he presents a clear upgrade over Isaiah Rodgers or Brandon Facyson and could finish off the best defense Ryan has ever had to work with. Bradberry is 28, so he's likely looking at a multi-year deal, and that wades into plans to re-sign Nelson and potentially Ngakoue.
If the Colts go with a cheaper option for depth, Kevin King or a return for Xavier Rhodes could make some sense.

Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court has sentenced a man accused of trafficking in firearms and ammunition to ten years in jail and imposed a fine of Dh1 million on him,
Authorities have also confiscated all the items involved in the illegal trade and compelled the defendant to pay the costs, fees and disbursements resulting from the disposal of the seized items.
Undercover investigation
According to a statement released by Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, which oversees courts in the emirate, the accused had engaged in a criminal activity — namely, trafficking of firearms and ammunitions without a licence and had offered them for sale by posting pictures of the weapons and ammunitions on social media.
Once the authorities became aware of the matter, they contacted the ‘seller’ through an undercover agent, who posed as a prospective arms buyer. The agent agreed with the ‘seller’ on the price and the place of delivery. After investigation, Public Prosecution issued an arrest warrant against the accused and a search warrant on his home.
Clear evidence
Based on the warrants issued by the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution, the accused was arrested, his home was raided and the contraband items were confiscated. The seized items comprised an automatic rifle, its parts and bullets of the same calibre as the weapon.
The court stated that the evidence against the accused was clear, in addition to the accused’s own admission during investigation and his statements recorded along with the seizure and forensic reports.
Federal regulation
According to Article 3/1 of Federal Decree Law No 17 of 2019 on Weapons, Ammunition, Explosives, Military Material And Hazardous Substances, the ‘possession, acquisition, obtainment, carrying, import, export, re-export, transit, trans-shipment, trade, manufacture, repair, transportation, or disposal of any weapon, ammunition, explosives, military materiel, or hazardous substances shall not be permitted in any way, except after obtaining a licence or permit to this effect from the licensing authority, or from the concerned entity, according to the provisions of this decree-law’. | https://gulfnews.com/uae/abu-dhabi-sentences-man-to-10-years-in-jail-imposes-dh1-million-fine-for-arms-trafficking-1.87777951 | 2022-05-11T11:39:31Z | https://gulfnews.com/uae/abu-dhabi-sentences-man-to-10-years-in-jail-imposes-dh1-million-fine-for-arms-trafficking-1.87777951 | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, one of the last lawmakers on Capitol Hill calling himself a “pro-life Democrat,” said Tuesday he would support a bill to write abortion rights into federal law following the Supreme Court’s leaked draft decision that would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
Casey, serving his third term, is not just any Democrat in the abortion debate. His father, a former two-term governor of Pennsylvania who opposed abortion rights, signed legislation that spawned another landmark abortion case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
Now Sen. Casey is in the position of watching the Supreme Court potentially overturn Roe v. Wade two years before he faces reelection while his party’s activists mobilize against any such decision.
He is casting his new position as a reaction to what he characterizes as an unforeseen move by Republicans in Congress to try to effectively ban abortion nationwide.
Casey said he will support the Democrats’ bill, if there is a final vote on it. And he said he has never voted for — and does not support — a complete ban on abortion.
“I think a lot of Americans are just beginning to understand the Republican position, which is, in many cases, not just a ban, but in a lot of states a ban without exception,” Casey said in an interview.
He told Politico in 2018 “that the description of pro-life Democrat is accurate:” for him.
But he told the AP on Tuesday that Republicans in Congress have moved from decades of saying they wanted states to have a say over abortion to pursuing legislation to ban it everywhere after six weeks — before many women even know they are pregnant.
“I think that’s a new and substantial development in their approach,” he said.
A vote on legislation by Senate Democrats to preserve abortion rights nationwide will not come to the floor if Democrats can’t come up with the votes necessary to bypass procedural hurdles. They are expected to fail on a Wednesday test vote.
Casey has won his Senate races campaigning as an anti-abortion Democrat, even as advocates accuse him of abandoning the cause through his more moderate positions.
“Because of his actions and words, I think Sen. Casey has abandoned legitimate use of the pro-life label,” said Michael Geer, president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which opposes abortion rights.
After the draft opinion emerged last week, Casey said he had “serious concerns about what overturning almost 50 years of legal precedent will mean for women in states passing near or total bans on abortion.”
As for the Senate, he said, “Congress should be working to reduce the number of abortions and unintended pregnancies and doing much more to support women and families.”
In the past, he has pushed for policies that he says are proven to reduce the number of abortions, such as boosting support for health care, contraception and programs that support women and children.
Still, Casey, in 2018 and 2020, broke with Democrats in voting to advance bills to ban abortions after 20 weeks and has said he supports the so-called Hyde Amendment, which blocks federal funding for abortion.
But he also has voted with Democrats to support federal funding for Planned Parenthood and access to contraception.
Casey opposed all three of former President Donald Trump’s nominees for the Supreme Court who now form half of its conservative bloc.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)After two frustrating years, Astros ace Justin Verlander was uncertain about his baseball future. The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched just one game in 2020 and 2021 combined, missing all of last season following Tommy John surgery.
Verlander is back to his old self – just like that guy with all those no-hitters.
Verlander missed out on his fourth no-no by five outs but still faced the minimum through eight innings, and Houston beat the Minnesota Twins 5-0 Tuesday night for its eighth straight win.
”Having the game possibly yanked out from underneath you makes me appreciate being here, playing with my teammates, pitching well, all of that,” Verlander said.
Twins third baseman Gio Urshela singled to right field with one out in the eighth to end Verlander’s bid. The 39-year-old right-hander, in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, finished the inning by getting Royce Lewis to ground into a double play.
Verlander was vying to tie Sandy Koufax for second on the career no-hitter list. Nolan Ryan holds the record with seven.
”Unfortunately, I’ve been here many times before and had it happen. I’ve had a few heartbreaking ones in the ninth inning,” Verlander said. ”This one I think it’s just one of those you appreciate that it was a good outing and gave us a chance to win, and we did that.”
Tuesday’s outing moved Verlander to 4-1 with a 1.55 ERA through six starts to continue his stellar start to the 2022 season.
”The guy’s a horse,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. ”When he pitches, the guys stay alert. He gets the ball quickly. He doesn’t mess around on the mound, so you keep the defense sharp when you do that.”
Verlander struck out five and walked two on 89 pitches. Blake Taylor pitched the ninth for Houston.
Baker said Verlander was on a 90-pitch limit but added they might have extended that had Verlander got through eight no-hit innings.
Verlander was perfect through four innings before allowing a leadoff walk to Jorge Polanco in the fifth. Verlander got Urshela to tap into a double play one pitch later to retire Polanco.
The right-hander walked Minnesota’s No. 9 hitter, Gilberto Celestino, in the sixth, but Celestino was later thrown out at second base by catcher Martin Maldonado – one of several solid defensive plays backing Verlander’s performance.
”The no-hitter was getting kind of deep in the game and he was able to make a great play, spin and throw the guy out at second trying to advance,” Verlander said of Maldonado. ”Really, his job behind the plate was fantastic.”
Jeremy Pena drove in the first two runs for the Astros. Alex Bregman also had two RBIs, including a double to left in the fifth that drove in Jose Altuve.
Twins starter Joe Ryan (3-2) struggled to find the strike zone. The right-hander issued a walk in each of his five innings and allowed four runs.
ASTROS AVOID CORREA
Houston players caught up with former teammate Carlos Correa, who signed a $105.3 million, three-year deal with Minnesota this spring after seven seasons with the Astros.
Correa was added to the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right middle finger contusion, retroactive to May 6. He won’t play in the series against Houston. He is hitting .255 with 11 RBIs in 24 games.
”I was really looking forward to it,” Correa said. ”I’m very happy I get to see them again, get to spend some time with them. They were not teammates. They were family.”
TRAINERS ROOM
Twins: INF Luis Arraez and RHP Dylan Bundy both cleared COVID-19 protocols but were not active for Tuesday’s game as they remained on the COVID-19 injured list. … LHP Danny Coloumbe left Tuesday’s game in the sixth inning with left hip inflammation.
UP NEXT
RHP Jose Urquidy (2-1, 4.56 ERA) takes the mound for Houston, one start after tossing six scoreless innings against Detroit. Minnesota counters with RHP Chris Archer (0-0), who is still looking for his first win in a Twins uniform.

Which Elf concealer is best?
Because it can hide skin imperfections, an important step in many beauty enthusiasts’ makeup routine is applying concealer. Premium beauty brands offer a nice selection of concealers made of quality ingredients, but they can be expensive. For those who want these features at an affordable price, Elf Cosmetics concealers are excellent choices.
Elf concealers come in numerous versatile shades and are formulated for customizable coverage and long wear. The brand’s popular Hydrating Camo Concealer also moisturizes skin while giving it a flawless finish.
What to know before you buy an Elf concealer
About Elf
Elf cosmetics was founded in 2004 and set out to offer quality products that were also inexpensive. Despite the low prices, the company doesn’t use harsh additives in its makeup and skin care products, which are also vegan and cruelty-free.
When you use Elf makeup, you can feel confident that you aren’t applying potentially harmful chemicals to your skin. Each product is formulated without parabens, hydroquinone, triclosan, nonylphenol ethoxylates, phthalates or triclocarban.
Benefits of Elf concealers
The main reason for applying concealer is to minimize or hide dark spots, uneven skin tone, blemishes and dark circles under the eyes. Like concealers by many other brands, Elf concealers have a thick, creamy consistency and rich pigmentation that cover skin flaws and leave behind a smooth, even complexion.
Elf concealers contain natural or plant-based ingredients such as vitamins and avocado oil that nourish skin. They are also lightweight, buildable and blendable, and provide all-day wear. And in addition to imperfection coverage, some Elf concealers moisturize or brighten the skin. The result is hydrated skin that glows.
For animal lovers, Elf’s cruelty-free policy may be the most important benefit the company offers. In the past, it was primarily expensive luxury brands that offered cruelty-free products. However, Elf makes it possible to opt for cruelty-free beauty on a budget.
How to use concealer
It’s easy to apply concealer for an even, flawless finish.
- Cleanse your skin before applying makeup.
- Apply a thin layer of foundation (if you use it) before adding your concealer.
- Apply a small amount of concealer on problematic areas such as blemishes and under-eye circles.
- Gently blend the concealer with the applicator, your fingertips, or a makeup blender or sponge.
- Apply another layer of concealer on areas that need additional coverage.
- Lock in your look by patting on pressed or loose powder.

Cuisse... Le 3 mai 1 EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A murder suspectand the jailer who helped him escape from an Alabama lockup were carrying $29,000 in cash, four handguns and an AR-15 rifle and were prepared for a shootout when they were captured, an Indiana sheriff said Tuesday.
Authorities caught up with the pair Monday, more than a week after the breakout and nearly 300 miles (480 kilometers) away, and rammed their car into a ditch after a brief chase. Escaped inmate Casey White, 38, surrendered, while jail official Vicky White, 56, was found with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at a hospital, officials said.
Vanderburgh County Coroner Steve Lockyear said in an email to The Associated Press that an autopsy was completed on White. The manner of death has been ruled a suicide.
The end of the manhunt left authorities trying to piece together what happened during the 11 days that elapsed after Vicky White escorted Casey White from a Florence, Alabama, jail for what she falsely claimed was a mental health evaluation.
The inmate and Vicky White appeared to have had a “jailhouse romance,” Alabama authorities said last week. They were not related.
As for her role in the escape, the sheriff said: “He was not forcing her. It was a mutual relationship.”
At the time of the breakout, Casey White was serving a 75-year prison sentence for attempted murder and other offenses and was awaiting trial on charges of stabbing a woman to death during a 2015 burglary. If convicted, he could get the death penalty.
Investigators believe the pair spent about six days holed up at a motel in Evansville. Authorities discovered wigs intended to hide their identities. Wedding said investigators do not believe the two had relatives or other contacts in the city of 120,000.
“They thought they’d driven long enough. They wanted to stop for a while, get their bearings straight and then figure out the next place to travel,” the sheriff said.
Authorities closed in on them after the manager of a car wash reported that a man closely resembling the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Casey White had been recorded by a surveillance camera getting out of a pickup truck.
Investigators said they located the pickup, then learned that the pair may have switched to a Cadillac, which was then spotted outside a motel nearby. When the couple left the motel, police chased them down, authorities said.
Casey White told investigators after his capture that “he was probably going to have a shootout at the stake of both of them losing their lives,” the sheriff said.
The inmate appeared by video Tuesday in an Indiana courtroom, where he waived extradition.
White was brought back to the courthouse in Lauderdale County, Alabama, by police late Tuesday. Video showed him ignoring questions shouted by journalists.
An attorney representing White in the murder case, Jamy Poss, declined to comment.
Vicky White, assistant director of corrections at the Lauderdale County jail, had put in for retirement ahead of the escape, and the day of the breakout, April 29, was her last day of work.
A woman who worked with her for 16 years could barely speak through tears Tuesday.
“I know she did wrong and made a terrible mistake, but she’s still your friend,” longtime jail employee Sherry Sylvester said.
She said that White often tried to help prisoners, particularly ones without family. But Sylvester said she never saw White do anything that crossed the line: “She did everything by the book.”
Connie Moore, Casey White’s mother, said she last spoke with him by phone the day before the escape. She said her son may not have known what was about to happen.
“Everything was just as normal as it could be. I doubt he even knew he was leaving when she came in there to get him,” Moore said.
A warrant was issuedon May 2 for Vicky White charging her with permitting or facilitating escape. Authorities said the plan appeared to have been in the works for some time. She sold her house for about half its market value and bought an SUV that she stashed at a shopping center without license plates.

SYDNEY ― More than 90% of coral reefs surveyed along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef were bleached in recent months due to catastrophically warm ocean temperatures, according to a new report by the top government agency monitoring the structure’s health.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority released its “Reef Snapshot” report Tuesday after conducting aerial surveys of the structure following reports it was suffering from mass bleaching earlier this year. Researchers monitored 719 reefs along the eastern coast of Australia, saying 654 of those showed signs of at least some bleaching. Many of those were classified as severely or extremely bleached.
“The Great Barrier Reef’s waters warmed early in December 2021, exceeding historical summer maximums that typically occur in the hottest summer months,” the agency said in a release this week. “This prolonged heat exposure led to a mass bleaching of coral across the Great Barrier Reef; the fourth to occur in seven years. Unusually, this was the first mass bleaching event to occur under La Niña conditions.”
The marine park authority said Tuesday that scientists had observed some severe bleaching along some surveyed sights, including “completely white colonies” and coral death in areas hit hardest by the warm oceans.
The marine park authority first said in March that the iconic structure was undergoing another devastating mass bleaching event, the fourth since 2016, due to abnormally warm ocean temperatures. It’s the first time, however, that a mass bleaching has happened during a La Niña year, when the ocean is supposed to be cooler than usual.
Bleaching happens most often when corals are effectively cooked by warmer than usual water, which causes the delicate polyps to turn a sickly white. They can recover if temperatures stabilize, but if the warm water lingers for too long, huge swaths of the reef can die.
The report was quietly published Tuesday night, a week after The Sydney Morning Herald reported the document had been delayed until after Australia’s federal election. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority maintained at the time the decision had nothing to do with politics, although scientists and environmentalists criticized the agency for not publishing the findings sooner.
The agency’s chief scientist, David Wachenfeld, said there was hope the bleaching wouldn’t lead to widespread death of corals.
“The early indications are the mortality won’t be very high so we are hoping that we will see most of the coral that is bleached recover, and we will end up with an event rather more like 2020 where yes there was mass bleaching but there was low mortality,” Wachenfeld told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
But reef advocates have stressed that any mass bleaching event is devastating news.
“This was a La Niña year, normally characterized by more cloud cover and rain,” Lissa Schindler, a campaign manger for the Australian Marine Conservation Society, told The Guardian. “It should have been a welcome reprieve for our reef to help it recover … This is not normal and we should not accept that this is the way things are.”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has faced fierce criticism for failing to address climate change, instead throwing his support behind the coal and mining industries. The country has pledged to spend more than $2 billion to protect the structure, but advocates say that figure fails to address the root cause of its demise: our rapidly warming world.
Scientists had hoped the season would give corals walloped by frequent bleaching time to recover, but they said the latest event was a “grim” sign for the future of the reef. Instead, some warned that the next strong El Niño summer — when waters are hotter than usual — would be “awful” for the reef. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/corals-bleached-great-barrier-reef_n_627b5520e4b0d7ea4cd409bb | 2022-05-11T11:53:50Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/corals-bleached-great-barrier-reef_n_627b5520e4b0d7ea4cd409bb | true | 2 |

Palladium One Announces Drilling of the Award Winning Tyko Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Canada
Highlights
- Three of five Exploration Permits have been received.
- A 15,000-meter diamond drilling program is planned.
- Drilling to begin later this month.
- Initial target areas are the highly prospective Bulldozer North, South and West Pickle Lake multi-line VTEMmax anomalies, which are coincident with highly anomalous Cu and Ni in soils (Figure 1 and 2).
- Construction of an all-weather camp has been completed.
- 70-kilometer Induced Polarization ("IP") survey recently completed; results expected shortly.
Toronto, May 11, 2022 - Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the "Company" or "Palladium One") is pleased to announce that three of five Exploration Permits have been received for the Tyko Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, located near White River, Ontario. A 15,000-meter diamond drill program is planned and is scheduled to begin this month. Tyko hosts nickel, copper and cobalt, each of which has been designated a Critical Mineral in Canada, the United States and the European Union.
"Tyko is an award-winning, sulphide, high-grade Critical Minerals (nickel, copper, cobalt) Project in Ontario, Canada. With drill permits in hand we are launching the 2022 diamond drilling program to expand on our high-grade discovery success, where we intersected up to 10% nickel equivalent over 4 meters, within a 430-meter strike length that remains open for expansion.
"Two permit applications remain outstanding following submissions in early-September 2021, and we continue to respond to various requests/inquiries. With both Ontario's and Canada's political focus on increasing domestic supply of Critical Minerals, we are hopeful that the last two permits will arrive shortly.
"The three permits will enable us to drill the highly prospective West Pickle Lake and the Bulldozer North and South targets (Figure 1 and 2).
"During the winter months, an all-weather camp was constructed and we completed 70 kilometres of Induced Polarization (IP) grids on the Smoke Lake and Bulldozer target areas, results are expected shortly," commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.
The Company has been working to secure five new Critical Mineral Exploration Permits covering Smoke lake and the four new multiline VTEMmax anomalies with coincident strong copper-nickel in soil anomalies (see news release October 28, 2021 and November 30, 2021). The three permits received cover three of the four new multi-line VTEMmax targets, including West Pickle Lake, Bulldozer North and Bulldozer South.
West Pickle Lake Anomaly
The West Pickle Lake anomaly likely represents a continuation of the RJ and Tyko Zones which have returned 1.04% Ni and 0.23% Cu over 16.2 meters in hole TK-16-002 and 0.93% Ni, 0.50% Cu over 15.9 meters, in hole TK-16-006 respectively (See news releases April 12, 2016 and June 9, 2016) in blebby to locally net-textured sulphides. The West Pickle Lake anomaly has a much stronger VTEMmax response (over 6 lines), whereas the RJ showing had only a weak single line VTEMmax response, suggesting semi-massive to massive sulphide occurs at West Pickle Lake. Soil samples collected at West Pickle Lake have returned up to 153ppm Cu and 116ppm Ni (Figure 2, Table 1)
The Bulldozer North and South Anomalies
The Bulldozer North and South Anomalies represent a new mafic-ultramafic target at the large Bulldozer intrusion which has never been drilled or even mapped. The Bulldozer North and South Anomalies represent the first Electro Magnetic (EM) anomalies detected within the intrusion. The Bulldozer intrusion is host to one historic copper-nickel-cobalt showing, which consists of remobilized disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite in a shear with historic samples returning up to 3.34% Cu, 0.12% Ni, 0.24% Co, 0.38 g/t Pd, 0.08 g/t Pt (see Ontario Mineral Deposit Index MDI000000001901), suggesting that more widespread mineralization is present within the larger intrusion.
Soil sampling conducted by the Company in 2021 on the Bulldozer South anomaly returned up to 891ppm copper and 142ppm cobalt (Figure 2 and Table 1), notably the soil samples have similar metal ratios compared to the historic Bulldozer showing suggesting a similar mineralization style. The copper in soils results are particular noteworthy having returned up to 45 times background levels.
The Bulldozer North and South Anomalies also occurs in a very strongly magnetic portion of the Bulldozer Intrusion, along it's southwestern contact, possibly indicating the base of the intrusion. The extent of these highly magnetic rocks extends well beyond the current VTEMmax anomalies and suggest any discovery in this area has the potential for significant tonnage.
Winter IP Geophysical Program
In anticipation of the receipt of additional Exploration Permits, the Company constructed an all-weather exploration camp in January and completed a 70 kilometer IP program covering the Smoke Lake and the Bulldozer North and South Areas. Unseasonably cold weather and heavy snowfall produced several challenges, however both grids were completed in late April. Results from this survey are expected shortly, and will be invaluable in drill hole targeting.

*Nickel Equivalent ("NiEq")
Nickel equivalent is calculated using US$1,700 per ounce for palladium, US$1,100 per ounce for platinum, US$1,800 per ounce for gold, US$4.25 per pound for copper, US$8.50 per pound for nickel and US$25 per pound for Cobalt. This calculation is consistent with the commodity prices used in the Company's September 2022 NI 43-101 LK resource estimate (see news release April 25, 2022).
About Tyko Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project
The Tyko Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project, is located approximately 65 kilometers northeast of Marathon Ontario, Canada. Tyko is an early stage, high sulphide tenor, nickel-copper (2:1 ratio) project with drill hole intercepts returning up to 10.2% NiEq (8.1% Ni, 2.9% Cu, 0.1% Co, 0.61g/t Pd, 0.71g/t Pt, and 0.02g/t Au) over 3.8 meters in hole TK-20-023 (see news release January 19, 2021).

Hush to launch a collection created by its in-house interns
15 hours ago
Womenswear brand Hush is launching its first-ever Intern Collection created by its in-house interns working across design, buying, merchandising, garment technology, sustainability and marketing on May 13.
The collection is a curated selection of nine pieces featuring “bold colours, vibrant prints, and mood-boosting designs” created by Hush’s interns, which led the creative process from start to finish in a year-long paid programme that the brand set up in 2020.
The interns took inspiration from artist Vernon Panton’s work, whose euphoric aesthetics dominated the 1960s for the collection. With an eye-catching floral print becoming the main motif, hand-drawn by the in-house design intern, who has since been promoted to a permanent assistant designer position. The floral print can be seen on a strap top, a midi dress, a maxi skirt and scrunchies.
Other highlights include the knitting techniques in the kimono sleeve jumper, the jumpsuit with adjustable straps, as well as the unbleached jeans and matching denim overshirt.
Hush celebrates young talent with Intern Collection to raise funds for Hackney Empire
As the collection was created by young talent, Hush also announced a partnership with theatre Hackney Empire and its Creative Futures Programme, an initiative to support local, young artists and creatives, by allowing access to a year-round, free programme of events, workshops and development courses.
The partnership will see Hush donating 20 percent of profits from the sales of pieces from the Intern Collection to the Creative Futures Programme.
Mandy Watkins, founder of Hush, said in a statement: “Everyone here is so excited to see what our interns have achieved, and we can’t wait to share the results of their talents and hard work with the launch of our first-ever intern collection.
“I feel very fortunate to work in a place where every day I’m surrounded by so many bright, enthusiastic young people - and I love that we can give them the opportunity to explore their creativity either via our own intern programme or via our partnership with Hackney Empire’s Creative Futures programme.”
Rachael Horowitz, head of learning and participation at Hackney Empire, added: “We’re excited to partner with Hush as their chosen charity for their first intern collection which, like Hackney Empire, develops young people’s creativity and talent.
“The brilliant collection, designed by young people, will support more new talent through Hackney Empire Creative Futures - a programme by and for young people that platforms the next generation of creatives and decision makers.”
Hush’s Intern Collection will be available exclusively on the brand’s website from May 13, with prices ranging from 5 to 99 pounds. | https://fashionunited.uk/news/fashion/hush-to-launch-a-collection-created-by-its-in-house-interns/2022051063009 | 2022-05-11T12:02:11Z | https://fashionunited.uk/news/fashion/hush-to-launch-a-collection-created-by-its-in-house-interns/2022051063009 | true | 2 |
NEW YORK (AP) — The long-rumored memoir by Bono, U2’s frontman, is coming out Nov. 1.
Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday that the book, first signed up in 2015 but not officially disclosed at the time, will be called “Surrender.” Reports that he had a deal date back to at least 2019.
“When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what I’d previously only sketched in songs,” the 62-year-old Irish singer and activist, born Paul David Hewson, said in a statement. “The people, places, and possibilities in my life. ‘Surrender’ is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book. I am still grappling with this most humbling of commands.
“In the band, in my marriage, in my faith, in my life as an activist. Surrender is the story of one pilgrim’s lack of progress . . . With a fair amount of fun along the way.”
The book’s subtitle is “40 Songs, One Story,” a reference to the structure of “Surrender”: 40 chapters, each named for a U2 song. The band’s many hits include “With Or Without You,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “Where the Streets Have No Name.” | https://wgnradio.com/news/entertainment-news/bono-memoir-surrender-to-be-released-in-november/ | 2022-05-11T12:03:13Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/entertainment-news/bono-memoir-surrender-to-be-released-in-november/ | false | 26 |

5 things to know for May 11: Ukraine, Primaries, Gas Prices, Sri Lanka, Elon Musk
CNN
By Alexandra Meeks, CNN
After an 11-day manhunt, an inmate who escaped an Alabama jail has been captured and is back behind bars. The corrections officer he fled with — whom authorities believe he had a romantic relationship with — died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. And this isn’t the first jail love story we’ve seen before. Experts say there’s even a term for this kind of attraction: “Bad Boy Syndrome,” or the interest in those who commit heinous crimes.
Here’s what you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day.
(You can get “5 Things You Need to Know Today” delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up here.)
1. Ukraine
The House of Representatives yesterday passed a roughly $40 billion bill to deliver aid to Ukraine as it continues to face Russia’s brutal assault. The measure will next need to be passed by the Senate before it can go to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. According to the measure, billions of dollars will be used to send military equipment and weapons from US stocks to Ukraine and to purchase weapons from contractors, among several other allocations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the “friends” of his country for approving the bill. This comes as Belarus, an ally of Russia, said it will deploy special forces to the border of Ukraine because “the United States and its allies continue to increase their military presence at the state borders,” a military official said.
2. Primaries
West Virginia and Nebraska held primary elections yesterday, and former President Donald Trump suffered his first big loss of 2022 in Nebraska after his chosen candidate for governor in the Republican primary lost to the state party’s choice. Trump fared better in West Virginia, where his pick in a hotly contested GOP House primary cruised to victory in a battle of Republican incumbents. The first few rounds of 2022 primaries have doubled as a proving ground for Trump’s ability to bend the Republican Party to his will. That theme will continue into next week’s slate, especially in Pennsylvania, where his endorsed Senate candidate is heading into a three-way race for the GOP nomination.
3. Gas prices
The national average price for regular gasoline soared to new a record high yesterday at $4.37 a gallon, according to AAA. That tops the prior record of $4.33 set on March 11. In several states, that price is even higher. California, Hawaii and Nevada have all exceeded $5 a gallon, the latest readings show. With prices up 17 cents in the past week alone, some experts say this will only add to inflationary pressures that have raised recession fears, rocked financial markets and soured Americans’ views on the economy. Gas prices are up about 25% since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine roiled global energy markets, and some analysts fear even higher prices are coming.
4. Sri Lanka
Protesters in Sri Lanka have burned down homes belonging to 38 politicians as the crisis-hit country plunged further into chaos, with the government ordering troops to “shoot on sight.” Police in the island nation said yesterday that in addition to the destroyed homes, 75 others have been damaged, as angry Sri Lankans continue to defy a nation-wide curfew to protest against what they say is the government’s mishandling of the country’s worst economic crisis since 1948. The Ministry of Defense yesterday ordered troops to shoot anyone found damaging state property or assaulting officials. Violence has left at least eight people dead since Monday, although it is unclear if all of the deaths were directly related to the protests. More than 200 people have been injured.
5. Elon Musk
Elon Musk said yesterday that he would restore former President Donald Trump’s banned account on Twitter if his $44 billion deal to acquire the company is completed. The comments come after Musk previously said he thinks Twitter should be more “reluctant to delete things” and “very cautious with permanent bans.” Yesterday, he called Twitter’s decision to ban Trump in January 2021 a “mistake.” Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s cofounder and former CEO, tweeted yesterday following Musk’s remarks that he does “agree” there shouldn’t be permanent bans on Twitter users. Trump has said he would not return to Twitter even if his account were restored, instead promoting his own social media venture, Truth Social, which has so far appeared to struggle to get off the ground.

That’s the percentage of the Great Barrier Reef impacted by bleaching this year due to warming waters from escalating climate change. A new report from an Australian government agency confirmed this is the sixth mass bleaching event of the reef on record and the fourth since 2016. Coral reefs are some of the most vibrant marine ecosystems on earth, and somewhere between a quarter and a third of all marine species rely on them at some point in their life cycle.

Morgan Stanley has lowered its forecasts for India’s economic growth in the next two fiscal years, saying a global slowdown, surging oil prices and weak domestic demand would take a toll on Asia’s third-largest economy.
Gross domestic product growth will be 7.6% for fiscal 2023 and 6.7% for fiscal 2024, 30 basis points lower than the previous estimates, the brokerage said in a note dated Tuesday.
The cut reflects a pronounced economic impact from the Russia-Ukraine conflict that has driven up crude prices, pushing retail inflation in India - the world’s third-biggest oil importer - to its highest in 17 months.
“The key channels of impact will likely be higher inflation, weaker consumer demand, tighter financial conditions, the adverse impact on business sentiment, and a delay in capex recovery,” said Upasana Chachra, Morgan Stanley’s chief economist for India.
Indian shares end lower, rupee hits record low on global economic growth fears
Both inflation and the country’s current account deficit will likely get worse due to broad-based price pressures and record-high commodity prices, she added.
In a move to contain unruly inflation, India’s central bank raised its main lending rate off record lows at an off-cycle meeting earlier in May. Markets see the Reserve Bank of India hiking its key rates further in the coming months as inflation remains elevated.
The country has also been importing oil from sanctions-hit Russia at discounted rates to ease some of the pressure from surging crude prices, which recently touched $139 a barrel.
India meets nearly 80% of its oil needs through imports and rising crude prices push up the country’s trade and current account deficit while also hurting the rupee and fuelling imported inflation. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40172327/morgan-stanley-cuts-india-growth-forecasts-on-inflation-global-slowdown | 2022-05-11T12:11:05Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40172327/morgan-stanley-cuts-india-growth-forecasts-on-inflation-global-slowdown | true | 15 |
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)Joe Cronin has been named the Portland Trail Blazers’ general manager after serving in the interim role since December.
Cronin became interim GM after Neil Olshey was fired following an investigation into allegations of a toxic workplace environment.
Cronin has since been reshaping the Blazers’ roster, making several trades before the February deadline that put the team under the luxury tax threshold and freed up cap space. In the most significant move, guard CJ McCollum was traded to New Orleans, ending his lengthy run as Damian Lillard’s partner in Portland’s backcourt.
The Blazers finished 27-55 this season, their worst record since 2005-06 when they won just 21 games. Portland also finished 13th in the Western Conference in Chauncey Billups’ first year as the Blazers’ head coach, snapping a streak of eight straight playoff appearances.
The Blazers await their fate in next week’s NBA draft lottery ahead of the June 23 draft. Free agency opens in July.
”We’ve established a great working relationship in the last six months and have the same vision for what it takes to win a championship in this league,” Billups said in a statement Tuesday. ”I look forward to bringing Joe’s vision to life with our entire front office.”
Cronin signed a four-year deal with the Blazers.
He has been with the Blazers since 2006 and became a pro scout and salary cap analyst in 2010. He was named the team’s director of player personnel in 2014 and was promoted to assistant GM last year.

On Tuesday, Kyle Busch and his wife Samantha Busch announced the birth of their second baby, Lennix Key Busch. The couple revealed the news via social media by sharing a post. Both parents were overjoyed at the birth of their daughter.
Kyle Busch expressed his feelings on Twitter and wrote:
“By the grace of God our sweet baby girl is here! Thank you to everyone who has followed our journey and prayed along side of us. Our hearts are bursting with happiness #GirlDad”
Samantha also took to Twitter and wrote:
“We’re beyond overjoyed that God has blessed us with our beautiful girl. Our tiny little peanut has a head full of crazy hair & a big bro waiting to meet her! Thank you everyone who has followed our journey & prayed with us.”
The photos in the post show a healthy newborn covered in a pink blanket, with a sparkly “Lennix” embossed on it.
Baby Busch arrived at 5:12 a.m. local time, weighing 6.1 oz and measuring 20 inches at birth. The couple has an older son, Brexton Busch, who will turn seven next week.
In November 2021, Busch’s wife Samantha said that she and Kyle were adding a little baby to their family after sharing their long journey with infertility. Later in May 2022, she shared with fans that they were expecting a second child via a surrogate.
Kyle Busch’s performance in the previous 2022 Cup Series races
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch is one of the most experienced active drivers on the schedule. The 37-year-old has had an impressive season, excluding a few outings. He recorded his 60th career win at Bristol’s dirt race on April 17th and posted seven top-10 finishes so far in the first 12 Cup races.
In the opening race of the season, the two-time Cup Series champion showed his temperament and finished in the top-10. However, his season has also featured subpar performances at the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, Toyota Owners 400 and Goodyear 400.
Earlier, he put up consistent performances from Daytona International Speedway to Talladega Superspeedway, with the exception of Circuit of the Americas and Richmond Raceway.
The Las Vegas-native had a bad outing last weekend at Darlington Raceway. Despite that, he stands sixth in the points table standings with 364 points.
The veteran driver will be seen in action at Kansas Speedway for AdventHealth 400 on Sunday at 3 pm ET. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/nascar/news-kyle-samantha-busch-welcome-second-child-family | 2022-05-11T12:18:09Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/nascar/news-kyle-samantha-busch-welcome-second-child-family | true | 1 |
NEW YORK (AP) — It took Aaron Judge exactly 600 major league games to hit his first walk-off home run.
When he finally connected Tuesday night, the soaring drive certainly measured up to the moment.
Judge hit a mammoth three-run shot in the ninth inning to give the New York Yankees a scintillating 6-5 comeback victory over the rival Toronto Blue Jays.
“What a game,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “A heavyweight game. Those are fun ones to be a part of.”
Giancarlo Stanton tied it with a modest three-run shot in the sixth, and the Yankees rallied for their 14th victory in 16 games after three Toronto ejections left the angry Blue Jays seeing red.
New York overcame a shaky start from Luis Severino and improved to 21-8, the best record in the majors.
George Springer launched a leadoff homer for Toronto, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ripped a tiebreaking double in the eighth that helped the Blue Jays take a 5-3 lead on Alejandro Kirk’s sacrifice fly.
But in the ninth, Jose Trevino and DJ LeMahieu drew consecutive one-out walks from Jordan Romano (1-2) before Judge sent a hanging 1-2 slider 450 feet into the second deck in left field. The big slugger, who hit a game-ending homer for Double-A Trenton in April 2015, did a little dance as he approached the plate and was swarmed by excited teammates.
“It’s a weird feeling. You hear the crowd going crazy and you see the bench, you see guys jumping over the railing,” Judge said. “A special moment you get to share with them.”
It was the 10th home run of the season for Judge, who began the night tied for the major league lead. His 167 previous home runs were the fifth-most among active players without a walk-off shot.
Judge and Stanton have homered in the same game 20 times, including the postseason, and the Yankees have won 19.
It was the second blown save in 14 chances this season for Romano, who entered leading the majors in saves.
“He’s one of the best closers in baseball,” Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. “He just didn’t have it today.”
Wandy Peralta (1-0) pitched a hitless ninth for the win.
Santiago Espinal had an early two-run double — originally ruled a home run before a replay review — as Toronto quickly built a 3-0 lead against Severino, who started on eight days’ rest.
Yusei Kikuchi pitched five hitless innings before Stanton tied the score in the sixth with a three-run homer off reliever Yimi García that cleared Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch by just a few rows. The 335-foot drive would not have been a home run in any other big league ballpark, according to Statcast.
That’s when the fireworks really started.
García hit the next batter, Josh Donaldson, just above the left elbow pad with a 94 mph fastball on an 0-1 count.
Players on the New York bench didn’t like it, but Donaldson calmly went to first base and the umpires convened on the infield grass.
After a long discussion, crew chief Alfonso Marquez ejected Garcia, enraging the pitcher and several Blue Jays who came spilling out of the dugout. In the heated exchange, Marquez tossed pitching coach Pete Walker as well.
“Earlier in the game there were some words exchanged between Donaldson and Toronto’s catcher (Tyler Heineman), so that definitely played into it. There were pretty strong words,” Marquez told a pool reporter. “Then you have a game-tying home run and the second pitch, which we deemed intentional, which was the reason for the ejection. All that really played into it.”
Donaldson didn’t think Garcia’s pitch was intentional — although it looked bad, he said. He acknowledged he and Heineman had a “discussion” on the field.
“I don’t even know the guy. I didn’t even know that was his name. Never heard of him,” the veteran slugger said.
Then when Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga brushed back Bo Bichette with a 97 mph fastball in the seventh, plate umpire Lance Barrett heard something from the Blue Jays bench and ejected a flabbergasted Montoyo.
“I got thrown out because I’m not supposed to argue warnings,” Montoyo explained.
Toronto has lost three straight and six of eight.
“I think when Josh got hit, I think that kind of locked all of us in, said OK, it’s go time. Especially me, same thing. It kind of got me going a little bit,” Judge said with a smile. “When something like that happens it’s like, OK, we’ve got to go out there and win this one.”
STARTING FAST
Springer’s fourth leadoff homer this season was the 47th of his career, tying Curtis Granderson for fifth place.
LOOKING AHEAD
Rookie right-hander Luis Gil will be called up from the minors to start for the Yankees on Thursday night at the Chicago White Sox. The 23-year-old Gil is 0-3 with a 9.53 ERA in five starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after going 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA in six big league starts for the Yankees last year, with 38 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings. New York needs a spot starter after two rainouts last weekend forced a doubleheader Sunday against Texas and a makeup game Monday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: LHP Hyun Jin Ryu (forearm inflammation) joined the team and is expected to come off the injured list to start Saturday at Tampa Bay. … C Danny Jansen (left oblique strain) was set to begin a rehab assignment at Class A Dunedin. … INF/OF Cavan Biggio, on the COVID-19 injured list, was scheduled to be the DH at Triple-A Buffalo.
Yankees: OF Joey Gallo was rested against the left-hander even though he’s 3 for 9 with two home runs and a walk off Kikuchi. Gallo drew a one-out walk as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Stanton will probably get Wednesday off, Boone said.
