HELENA — Republicans have held a solid majority in the Montana Legislature for more than a decade, and that pattern appears likely to continue in 2022. That means GOP primaries could play a big role in how next year’s legislative session plays out.
Across 100 House races and 26 Senate races statewide, 31 feature two or more Republicans competing in the June primary. Nine incumbent Republican lawmakers are facing primary challengers. In the remaining 22 races, multiple Republicans are running to replace a departing incumbent or challenge a Democrat.
The contested races are spread across the state, from Miles City to Mineral County. Eight of them are in the Flathead alone.
One notable contest is the only one in the state where two incumbent Republicans are facing off: Reps. Geraldine Custer and Barry Usher are both running to represent Senate District 20 in Eastern Montana. Each of them currently represents half of the district, which includes all of Musselshell and Treasure Counties and parts of Rosebud, Yellowstone and Custer Counties. Incumbent Sen. Duane Ankney, R-Colstrip, is termed-out and couldn’t run again.
Custer lives near Forsyth. She served more than 30 years as the clerk and recorder of Rosebud County, before being elected to the state House in 2014, where she’s served four terms. She points to her family background in agriculture, her knowledge of the issues facing the district and her local government experience.
Custer says Ankney encouraged her to run for his seat. Both of them have been linked to the “Solutions Caucus,” a group of Republicans known to break with party leaders and work with Democrats on certain issues. During the 2021 session, Custer voted against Republican-sponsored bills to eliminate Election Day voter registration, to establish partisan judicial elections and to keep transgender athletes off girls’ sports teams.
“I feel like, as a candidate, that you’re sent there to not compromise your own values, and definitely to vote for what’s good for your area,” Custer said. “If you’ve done that, I think at the end of the day you can rest easy, and I feel like that’s what I do. Sometimes, yes, it goes against what the party does, but I feel like my experience is why I can stand up.”
Custer says she’s open to some new ideas on election law, but she’s confident Montana’s elections are secure. She also says she trusts judges in the state to act impartially and doesn’t see a need for extensive changes to judicial elections. Some of the top priorities she identifies are addressing rising property taxes, housing and labor shortages, child care availability and the economic transition around Colstrip.
Usher is a business owner, operating dealerships like Beartooth Harley-Davidson and Beartooth Mahindra near Billings, where he sells motorcycles, tractors and off-road vehicles. He unsuccessfully challenged Ankney in a Senate primary in 2014, then was elected to the House in 2016 and has held the seat for three terms.
Usher has been a staunch conservative in the Legislature, and he points to his voting record when encouraging GOP primary voters to support him. He argued Custer has broken with the Republican party line even more than the other Solutions Caucus members.
“I think it’s pretty easy and clear; you just have to look up our voting records,” he said. “We differ on the majority of our votes. I’m clearly a conservative Republican voting Montana values, and my opponent is not.”
Usher says he’s seen constituents losing faith in the state’s election system, and he favors more restrictions on voter ID and registration as measures to ensure integrity. He argues the Montana Supreme Court and district judges have put themselves above other branches of government, and he supported proposals to make judicial elections partisan and elect Supreme Court justices by district instead of at-large.
Usher identified inflation and property taxes as the biggest issues for people in his district. He also says he’s focused on criminal justice, including addressing aspects of a 2017 reform package that he believes have hindered the justice system.
In House District 97, which covers Lolo and rural parts of Missoula County, two Republicans are running to replace the termed-out Rep. Brad Tschida, a prominent conservative who is now running for state Senate.
Lyn Hellegaard is executive director of Missoula Ravalli Transportation Management Association and the Montana Transit Association. She also served one term on the Missoula City Council from 2008 to 2011. She says her work has given her experience working with legislators and being part of the lawmaking process.
Hellegaard says she’s most concerned about inflation and rising property taxes. She wants the state to focus on boosting resource development as a way to reduce the burden on property owners.
Hellegaard, along with Tschida, has also been involved with an effort by Missoula County activists that alleged there were discrepancies in the 2020 election and said they found several thousand mail ballots couldn’t be matched with envelopes. She says there are loopholes in state election law that should be changed to ensure security.
Missoula County election officials have said the activists’ claim is inaccurate, and that all 2020 ballots were properly certified.
Michael Burks owns several businesses in Montana, Idaho and Washington. He’s also a volunteer pilot and “wing leader” with Angel Flight West, an organization that arranges free flights for people in need of health care or other assistance.
MTN reached out to Burks multiple times, but did not receive a response from him. In a statement on his website announcing his candidacy, he identified property taxes, the cost of living, crime rates and homelessness as some of the issues that need to be addressed.
In a March post on his campaign Facebook page, Burks pushed back on claims about election integrity. He said a second count of 2020 ballots, conducted with county GOP volunteers watching, found less than 100 ballots. He said the results showed no evidence of corruption, and he urged voters to participate in this year’s election – and trust their ballots will be counted.
Hellegaard says she believes there is room for Republicans to work their disagreements out within the party.
“That’s one thing that I like about that body, is you can have a differing opinion and get those arguments and discussions out, which helps our constituents understand what’s going on,” she said. “I’m for the discussion – and that’s one thing about the Republicans, we typically don’t vote the party line.”

The Arlington County Civic Federation on May 10 urged Arlington County Board members to tap the brakes on the latest round of “Missing Middle” housing-policy changes.
By a vote of 35-4, with one abstention, delegates voted to ask the government to extend its four-week public-comment period on the proposal for several additional months.
“This is a complex initiative – civic associations and other county organizations will require additional time to notify their own members, study the likely consequences . . . and develop a membership response in order to provide meaningful feedback,” noted the resolution.
Phase 2 of the Middle Middle study mulls the prospect of scaling back protections on single-family neighborhoods (those zoned R-5, R-6, R-8, R-10 and R-20). Proponents say zoning flexibility in those areas will provide more housing options and reduce the cost of housing in Arlington; opponents said gutting single-family zoning would go against longstanding policy, could damage values of existing homes and, paradoxically, make the cost of housing higher.
The proposal calls on county officials to extend the public-comment period to Sept. 30.

Bonds, haven for elderly and cautious, are getting torched
Bonds are supposed to be the safe part of any nest egg, but they’re getting brutalized.
High-quality U.S. bonds have lost more than 10% so far this year, as of Monday, on pace for one of their worst years in history. The investors feeling it the most are the very ones who invest conservatively, favoring bonds instead of stocks in hopes of securing historically steady returns.
To put the misery in context: This year’s loss so far is more than three times as big as the worst year on records going back to 1976. The previous worst performance was a 2.9% loss in 1994, according to a widely followed index that measures investment-grade bonds.
So not only is losing money on bonds a surprise for many investors, the amount of this year’s carnage is also a shock.
“There’s kind of this false perception of: Bonds are bulletproof and can’t lose money,” said Matthew Benson, owner of Sonmore Financial in Chandler, Arizona.
This year’s losses for bonds are a result of high inflation sweeping the world and the Federal Reserve’s response to it. Inflation in general is anathema to bond investors because it weakens the buying power of the fixed payments bonds will make in the future.
The Fed’s main weapon to bring down inflation is raising interest rates. But this causes newly issued bonds to pay higher yields, making older bonds sitting in investors’ portfolios suddenly look less valuable than before. That in turn makes prices fall for those older bonds.
Any investor who bought a bond and simply holds on until it matures will still get the full value of their principal back, along with all promised interest payments, assuming no defaults. But they’d be making more if they had that same principal money invested in a newer, higher-yielding bond.
“It is a challenge and it is a problem, and it’s something we’re reviewing with our clients,” said Charles Sachs, chief investment office at Kaufman Rossin Wealth. “The optics aren’t good. The bond gets priced every day, and if it matures in two years or three years, you will get paid out, but nobody wants to see losses along the way.”
Bond prices have often fallen in the past, including as recently as 2018. But even then, bonds usually paid enough interest to make up for their price drop. In 2018, for example, prices for high-quality bonds fell 2.9%. But after counting the income they paid, investors eked out a positive total return of 0.01%.
Coming into 2022, though, bonds were paying little. The 10-year Treasury’s yield was at 1.51%, for example, versus its average of 2.94% over the last 20 years. That gave investors less cushion for drops in price.
Some financial advisers are responding by shepherding their wealthier clients into complex, alternative products like private mortgages or funds that use hedge fund-like strategies.
Many professional investors and advisers say investors shouldn’t give up on bonds, even with their losses, because they remain a better bet than stocks to fill the role of ballast in a portfolio. An old rule of thumb says a portfolio should be 60% invested in stocks and 40% in bonds, with the stock portion ramping up or down depending on an investor’s willingness to take risk.
Bonds have held up better this year than the stock market, with the S&P 500 down 16.3% for 2022 through Monday.
“Nobody put bonds in their portfolio because they thought it would be the best performer,” Benson said. “You’re not going to get the same 4% to 7% total return out of a bond fund that maybe you would have over the last 25 to 30 years. But the reason somebody moved to bonds in the first place is they wanted less volatility.”
Part of that is because bonds produce steady income, something needed by retirees and other investors. And bonds bought today are offering more income because of the rise in interest rates. The yield on the 10-year Treasury has roughly doubled so far in 2022, recently jumping above 3% to its highest level since 2018.
Just remember that bonds can still lose more money, as this year demonstrates so painfully.

Chad Hugo has crafted some of the most futuristic hip-hop and pop music of the past 25 years. With Pharrell Williams, his longtime friend and partner in the Neptunes, Hugo’s production handiwork includes the hyper sonar pulses and thunderclap syncopation of The Clipse’s “Grindin’”; the comet trail of synth debris cascading through Britney Spears’s “I’m a Slave 4 U”; the colliding keyboard drones and cosmic dinner bells that nourish Kelis’s “Milkshake”; and the impeccably orchestrated steam hiss, drowsy slide whistle, mouth clicks and blissfully grandiose chords that compose Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
But today in his Virginia Beach home studio, Chad just wants to play the blues. “I think everybody needs to know the 12-bar blues,” he declares softly. “It’s easy to sing a song if you know the blues.” And he begins to quietly do just that.
12-bar blues/Interviews/12-bar blues/Interviews/12-bar blues…
In comparison with the flamboyant Pharrell, Chad is effectively the silent partner in the Neptunes, and he’s less interested in talking about himself than he is in, say, turning our conversation into an impromptu music lesson. “Instruments and music are different voices, so it’s like why talk about it?” he says. “Let’s make music. You play instruments?”
Not since I was a kid, I tell him.
“You should still play, man – if you want,” he says, and hands me a guitar. “You’re welcome to play this.”
I warn Chad that if I play the guitar it’s going to get ugly, but he’s undeterred. “I’d say all you need to know is the F-chord,” he calmly reassures me as he walks me through the fingerings. When I manage to strike the correct root note, my new guitar coach responds with an encouraging, “Good!” Is Chad Hugo… producing me?
“New Orleans blues got me in touch with a lot of things,” he explains. “Like how those guys play the Dixieland blues where they’re improvising at the same time on the same chord and they stop at the same time. A lot of people would think that it’s dinosaur music and it’s not really cool. But man, the swing of hip-hop is based on that.” He quickly beatboxes a rhythm in demonstration. “It’s just a vibe of the rhythm and how it syncs with your heartbeat, it’s just like b-boom, you know what I’m sayin’?” | https://www.gq.com/story/chad-hugo-neptunes-profile | 2022-05-12T13:51:11Z | https://www.gq.com/story/chad-hugo-neptunes-profile | false | 1 |

HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities say a sheriff’s deputy died in a crash Wednesday after his vehicle clipped the back of a semitrailer parked on the shoulder of a Houston-area highway.

Gonzalez says, “Our hearts are broken.”
A second Harris County sheriff’s office deputy who was riding a motorcycle was injured while escorting Howard to the hospital, but Gonzalez said that deputy was expected to be OK. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/state-regional/deputy-dies-after-crashing-into-semitrailer-in-houston-area/ | 2022-05-12T13:58:01Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/state-regional/deputy-dies-after-crashing-into-semitrailer-in-houston-area/ | false | null |

A 19-second video showing cloud cover over a water body is being shared on social media with the claim that it shows visuals of Cyclone Asani from Machilipatnam beach in Andhra Pradesh.
Cyclone Asani made landfall in coastal Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday night, 11 May, and weakened into a deep depression. It is likely to weaken further in the next 12 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday morning, 12 May.
However, we found the video is at least from June 2021.
CLAIM
The video was shared by The Times of India journalist Syed Akbar along with the claim, "#AsaniCyclone #Asani #cyclone Scene at #Machilipatnam beach. Very fearsome and scary. Power of Nature #Andhrapradesh.(sic)"
WHAT WE FOUND
With the help of InVID, a video verification tool, we extracted several keyframes from the video and conducted a reverse image search on some of them.
A Yandex reverse image search result led us to videos on YouTube that were posted in 2021.
One of the videos posted on 27 September 2021 read that the visuals were from Kalingapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
Further, looking with relevant keywords, we found a tweet by a user – Andhra Pradesh Weatherman – posted on 11 May.
He shared a screenshot from his Instagram account which carried the same visual.
The caption of his tweet read, "This is not #CycloneAsani. This Video I have posted in my Instagram on 21 June 2021. Location - Kalingapatnam, Srikakulam. (sic)"
We checked his Instagram profile and the bio of the user named Sai Praneeth B read that he gives updates about Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad's weather.
The video was posted on 17 June 2021 and the caption read, "Kalingapatnam beach, Srikakulam."

Toronto Is Looking To Hire Private Security Guards To Patrol Some Parks & Stop Encampments
Trinity Bellwoods is one of them.
There's a chance you might see a private security guard patrolling one of Toronto's public parks this summer.
Brad Ross, the Chief Communications Officer for the City of Toronto shared in an emailed statement to Narcity that the City has issued a request for proposals for contracted security services to walk the parks to make sure the green space is "fully accessible and safe", and to prevent a "repeat of large encampments being established".
The private security guards would patrol a handful of parks like Trinity Bellwoods Park, Alexandra Park and Lamport Stadium Park, which are the same spots the City cleared out last summer. Dufferin Grove will also see patrols, and two mobile teams are geared to visit Moss Park and Barbara Hall Park.
"It is unsafe and unhealthy to camp in City parks," Ross said.
If a contracted security guard sees a tent or other structure set up in one of the parks, Ross said they will "contact the City immediately and Streets to Homes teams will quickly engage with encampment occupants, offering services and safe indoor accommodation."
How much this service will cost will be determined when the contract is awarded for the RFP.
Last September, it was revealed that the City had spent almost two million dollars to clear out the encampments, which included fencing, staffing and landscaping costs. Hoards of security guards and officers were deployed, and there were violent clashes between protesters and police that led to several arrests.
Per CBC News, the number of security guards hasn't been figured out yet but Ross estimated "one or two at least", and they will patrol the parks 24 hours a day every day of the week.
Ross told Narcity that the City is investing over $500 million in affordable housing, which also includes supportive housing in an effort to end homelessness in Toronto.

The Finnish move confronts President Vladimir Putin with the very outcome he said his incursion into Ukraine was designed to prevent — a further expansion of NATO to Russia's borders.
Russia has said Finland's bid to join NATO is a hostile move that "definitely" posed a threat to its security.
The Kremlin said on Thursday it would respond but declined to spell out how, saying this would depend on how close NATO moves military assets towards the 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) Finnish-Russian frontier.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Russia would need to take "retaliatory steps, both of a military-technical and other nature, in order to stop threats to its national security arising".
"Helsinki must be aware of the responsibility and consequences of such a move," it said.
The Finnish move, which Sweden is expected to replicate, confronts President Vladimir Putin with the very outcome he said his incursion into Ukraine was designed to prevent — a further expansion of NATO to Russia's borders.
"Finland joined the unfriendly steps taken by the European Union towards our country.
"This cannot fail to arouse our regret, and is a reason for corresponding symmetrical responses on our side," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Geopolitical tussle
Finland's leaders said earlier on Thursday their country must apply to join the NATO military alliance "without delay".
"Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay," President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced in a statement in Helsinki.
"NATO membership would strengthen Finland's security," they said.
Asked whether this presented a threat to Russia, Peskov said: "Definitely. NATO expansion does not make our continent more stable and secure."
Russia's assault on Ukraine has led both Finland and Sweden to move towards abandoning their long-held neutrality and seeking the shelter of the alliance's security umbrella.
Asked what form Russia's response would take, Peskov replied: "Everything will depend on how this (NATO) expansion process plays out, the extent to which military infrastructure moves closer to our borders."
Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the powerful Security Council, has previously spoken about potentially stationing nuclear-armed missiles in the Russian territory of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.
Peskov was also asked about comments from Medvedev on Thursday that increasing military support by the United States and its allies for Ukraine risked triggering a conflict between Russia and NATO, with a potential risk of nuclear war.
He replied that everyone wanted to avoid a direct clash between Russia and NATO.
But at the same time he repeated a warning from Putin that Moscow was ready to deal "the most decisive response" to anyone who tried to interfere with what it calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.

Ranil Wickremesinghe, the chief of the United National Party which has only one seat in parliament, is set to return as the prime minister of Sri Lanka, with the country battling its worst economic crisis that is threatening to tear the island-nation apart.
Wickremesinghe will take the oath of office on May 12 evening, his party confirmed, three days after Mahinda Rajapaksa was forced to resign with anger over food shortage and power outages turning violent.
Wickremesinghe, who has served as the country's prime minister five times, was fired by then President Maithripala Sirisena in October 2018.
He was, however, reinstalled as the prime minister by Sirisena after two months. In the elections that followed, his party faced a rout as the electorate posed faith in the Rajapaksas-led Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).
Reports citing sources claimed that members of the ruling SLPP, along with a section of the main Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and several other parties have expressed their support to get majority for Wickremesinghe in the 225-member parliament.
UNP Chairman Vajira Abeywardena also expressed confidence on being asked by reporters whether Wickremesinghe would be able to prove his majority in the parliament.
After taking oath, Wickremesinghe will visit a temple in Colombo and then assume his duties.

Sri Lankan Parliament will debate a no-confidence motion against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on May 17, the Speaker’s Office confirmed on Thursday, amid the ongoing political turmoil triggered by the worst economic crisis plaguing the debt-ridden country.
The decision was taken during the party leaders’ meeting on Thursday.
The motion would be taken up for debate after obtaining special approval from Parliament, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported.
Speaking at a press conference after the party leaders met at the Parliament complex, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena said that the proposal submitted by the leaders will be prepared and handed over to the president.
The proposals, including the formation of a stable government and the security of the members of parliament, will be handed over to President Rajapaksa.
Parliamentarian MA Sumanthiran emphasised that a stable government was necessary for the country to move forward.
Sumanthiran noted that while a stipulated time duration has not been given for the resignation of the president, action must be taken soon with regard to the appointment of the prime minister, News First website reported.
Parliamentarian Mano Ganeshan added that no one should suddenly intervene and take up the position of the prime minister, and the president must respect the repeated calls for his resignation by the people, the report said.
Sri Lanka’s main Opposition party SJB on Friday announced that it will move a no-confidence motion against the government of President Rajapaksa and is prepared to impeach the embattled leader if he fails to address the concerns of the public facing hardships due to the worst economic crisis.
As protests continued across the country, demanding the resignation of the President and the entire Rajapaksa family from the government, Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa also called for the Executive Presidency to be abolished, saying power should be divided between the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary.
"The government must pay heed to the public demand for the Rajapaksas to quit, if not we will bring a no-confidence motion,” the leader of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) told Parliament.
Premadasa said that he cannot agree to an interim government with Rajapaksa remaining as the president.
The SJB said that it was also prepared to impeach the president.
He also submitted a set of proposals to Parliament on behalf of the SJB to address the economic crisis in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since independence from Britain in 1948.
Clashes broke out on Monday after government’s supporters attacked peaceful anti-government protest sites in Colombo and elsewhere, killing at least 8 people and leaving over 200 others injured in the violence.
Sri Lanka’s worst economic crisis has provoked widespread protests calling for political reform and the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
On April 1, President Rajapaksa imposed a state of emergency, lifting it five days later.
The government reimposed a state of emergency on May 6 after police fired teargas and arrested students protesting near parliament, which was adjourned until May 17.
Although the protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful, the police fatally shot a protester on April 19, and on several occasions have used teargas and water cannons against protesters.
The authorities have made numerous arrests and repeatedly imposed curfews.
The political crisis was triggered in late March when people hurt by long hours of power cuts and essential shortages took to the streets demanding the resignation of the government.
President Rajapaksa sacked his cabinet and appointed a younger cabinet as a response to the demand for resignation.
A continuous protest opposite his secretariat has now gone on for well over a month.
Last Monday, his brother Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as the prime minister to make way for the president to appoint an interim all political party government.
Sri Lankan authorities on Wednesday deployed troops and military vehicles in the streets to ensure public security in the Capital amidst nationwide protests over the government’s failure to tackle the worst economic crisis.
The deployment came a day after the country’s Ministry of Defence ordered the Army, the Air Force and the Navy personnel to open fire on anyone looting public property or causing harm to others amidst violent protests in the island nation over the unprecedented economic crisis. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lanka-parliament-to-discuss-no-trust-motion-against-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-on-may-17-8497281.html/amp | 2022-05-12T14:11:12Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lanka-parliament-to-discuss-no-trust-motion-against-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-on-may-17-8497281.html/amp | true | 12 |
The manual transmission is continuing its slow decline as new data reveals that 41 per cent of used cars for sale are automatics, up from 30 per cent just two years ago.
In some parts of the country, the proportion of automatic models is much higher, with 72 per cent of used cars for sale in Brentford having this transmission. Chelmsford, Croydon and Guildford also see a high percentage of autos, with 68, 65 and 63 per cent respectively.
The data comes from AA Cars and is based on the vehicles for sale through its online marketplace.
It believes that the recent surge has been driven in part by the increasing popularity of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which rarely come with manual transmissions.
Figures released this week by industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show that sales of used EVs soared 120 per cent in the first quarter of 2022, though the market share is still very small.
The used market also reflects new car buying habits, which have seen manual transmissions decline in popularity over the past decade to such a degree that many higher value models are only sold with automatics.
James Fairclough, CEO of AA Cars, said: “Car manufacturers have responded to the surging popularity of EVs by bringing out ever more advanced models, and there are now no fewer than 140 different plug-in models for sale in the UK.
“As more of these vehicles make their way into the second-hand market, we’re seeing a steady rise in the number of used automatics for sale – and in some areas autos now account for over 70 per cent of the used market.”
At the other end of the scale, Gloucester has the lowest proportion of automatic cars for sale at 17 per cent. This is followed by Gateshead (24 per cent), Redditch and Barnsley (both 25 per cent). | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/motors/2022/05/12/the-number-of-used-cars-for-sale-with-automatic-transmissions-continues-to-surge/ | 2022-05-12T14:13:43Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/motors/2022/05/12/the-number-of-used-cars-for-sale-with-automatic-transmissions-continues-to-surge/ | false | 3 |
SALT LAKE CITY, May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital is celebrating a major milestone – its 100th birthday – with leaders marking a century of pediatric care excellence and service to children throughout the Intermountain West by renewing their Primary Promise to keep the ‘Child First and Always’.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to celebrate the many remarkable milestones we’ve achieved during our first 100 years, and the opportunity to renew our Primary Promise to put ‘The Child First and Always’ for the century to come,” said Katy Welkie, RN, MBA, chief executive officer of Primary Children’s Hospital and vice president of Intermountain Children’s Health.
“Together, we’ll continue working to improve the health of children, strengthen our quality of care, address emerging health needs, and extend our expertise to those who need us most,” she said. “What an exciting future ahead for Primary Children’s and the future of the children and families we are fortunate to serve.”
Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital has grown from an act of compassion for one child, to delivering premier pediatric care to 100,000 children a year, regardless of their ability to pay.
The hospital launched in a home near Temple Square and soared into a multi-campus care network spanning 400,000 square miles across the Intermountain West. Its services have grown from orthopedics and chronic disease care to treating the most complex child injuries and illnesses, from organ transplants to in-womb and open fetal surgeries with University of Utah Health.
“Primary Children’s Hospital saved not only my life as a child, but my child’s life more than once,” Utah mother Sara Mainor said. “The specialists may help one child at a time, but it’s so much more than that. Through their expertise, they help entire families, and the communities those families are part of — and in the case of me and Nellie, who has a one-in-a-million disease, generations of children to come.”
Mainor recalls being at Primary Children’s as a child, when doctors successfully removed a tumor from her brain. Her 12-year-old daughter, Nellie, recently received a kidney transplant after years of daily dialysis treatments – all while leading several fundraisers to help her fellow patients.
“Primary Children’s nurses and doctors have become like a second family to me,” said Nellie, who at age six was diagnosed with the rare dense deposit disease. “I love the people who helped me, and I’m glad they have done the same for thousands of other kids. Happy birthday, Primary Children’s!”
Hospital Built For Children, By Children
Primary Children’s Hospital was inspired by Louie B. Felt and May Anderson, officers of the Primary Association, the children’s program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who were touched by the sight of a child on crutches struggling along a city street.
Realizing the need for special medical help for children, the Primary Association sponsored the treatment of 72 children in a children’s ward created at LDS Hospital in 1911.
In 1922, the Primary Association opened the first Primary Children’s Hospital at 40 W. North Temple, across from Salt Lake City’s Temple Square. The hospital mainly served children with orthopedic and chronic diseases, and who needed convalescent care following surgeries at LDS Hospital, which resulted in an average six-month stay.
“We believe we have a sacred responsibility to care for children,” said Camille N. Johnson, Primary General President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Caring for the children includes providing for their physical needs, which this hospital and its dedicated professionals and volunteers have done so beautifully for the last 100 years. We look forward to another century of tender and thoughtful care provided by this wonderful center.”
Primary Children’s Hospital was made possible by philanthropy, including Pennies by the Inch, in which latter-day Saint Primary children donated pennies each birthday, and annual Penny Parades held in hundreds of Intermountain area towns and farming districts.
When the hospital needed an update in 1938, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints President Heber J. Grant responded. Local business leaders had given him 1,000 silver dollars for his 82nd birthday. He donated the coins for the hospital’s construction, and each silver dollar was made into a paperweight and sold for $100.
After World War II, the Primary Association launched ”Dimes for Bricks,” and invited residents to contribute 10 cents to purchase one red brick for the new hospital.
In 1952, the new 70-bed Primary Children’s Hospital opened at 320 12th Avenue in Salt Lake City. Half the $1.25 million cost was paid through these fundraisers, making Primary Children’s in large part the hospital built for children, by children.
Intermountain Healthcare Brings New Opportunities
In 1975, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints created the independent, nonprofit corporation Intermountain Healthcare, through which its hospital holdings, including Primary Children’s, were gifted to the community.
In exchange, the Church charged Intermountain to become a “model health system,” providing affordable, accessible, and extraordinary care.
In 1977, the hospital became the teaching hospital for the University of Utah School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics, paving the way for research, innovation, additional pediatric specialties, and life-saving technologies to help children survive and thrive.
“The partnership with the University and Primary Children’s has led to the research and novel treatments for children that once stretched the imagination,” said Angelo Giardino, MD, chair of the University of Utah Health Department of Pediatrics and chief medical officer of Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital.
In 1990, Primary Children’s moved to its current 289-bed facility on the University of Utah campus next to the School of Medicine. The Primary Children’s Eccles Outpatient Services Building opened in 2014 to accommodate patients’ growing needs.
Into the Next 100 Years: A Primary Promise to the Child First and Always
Today, Primary Children’s provides more than 60 medical and surgical pediatric specialties with more than 800 physicians and 3,000 caregivers. It provided $14 million in charitable dollars to cover 11,867 patient visits in 2020 alone.
Its specialty care now is available in clinic locations, partner community hospitals, and via pediatric telehealth in Utah, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and Montana locations, bringing expert pediatric care to children closer to home.
Hospital inpatients receive music, dance, and art therapy, and enjoy toys, crafts, and games in a spacious Forever Young Zone and Sophie’s Place, where they can heal through the power of expression and play.
Visits from world-renown actors, artists, athletes, and leaders, including President George H. W. Bush, Jennifer Garner, Farah Fawcett, Arnold Palmer, Mickey Mouse, Robert Redford, the Dalai Lama, Star Wars’ BB-8, and Sabrina Carpenter, continue to cheer patients during their hospital stay.
Families can find rest and refreshment in two in-hospital Ronald McDonald Family Rooms.
The new Grant Scott Bonham Fetal Center in the hospital’s new north tower provides multi-specialty fetal care and surgeries to unborn children and their mothers and families in close partnership with University of Utah Health.
The most fragile infants are cared for in a state-of-the-art newborn intensive care unit. Later this year, children with cancer will receive expert care in upgraded healing spaces and infusion areas more accommodating to childhood and family needs.
Primary Children’s in 2020 began building a second hospital campus in Lehi, Utah, on the Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Campus to address growing needs in the area in the decades to come. The hospital will feature five floors, 66 beds, and a three-story medical office building, with a combined 486,000 square feet. It is expected to open in 2024.
The Miller Family Campus is part Intermountain Healthcare’s “Primary Promise” vision to create the nation’s model health system for children – just as its founders intended.
“As a pediatric critical care physician who trained at Primary Children’s Hospital, I’ve seen firsthand the amazing care provided to each child,” said Marc Harrison, MD, president, and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare. “I’m proud to have been part of Primary Children’s first 100 years and look forward to the next century of advancements that will help children live healthier lives.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Severe storms brought damaging winds, heavy rain and a few reports of tornadoes to Minnesota, where one person died in a crash that authorities said was caused by downed power lines.
Tens of thousands of homes and businesses were without power across southern Minnesota on Thursday morning after Wednesday night’s storms cut service to more than 75,000 customers.
More potentially severe weather was forecast for Thursday that could bring hail, high winds and tornadoes from the Dakotas and Minnesota into other parts of the Midwest, the Storm Prediction Center said.
Martha Rodriguez, 30, died in a crash on Interstate 90 in southwest Minnesota on Wednesday evening, the Minnesota State Patrol said. Storms knocked down power lines across the interstate in Nobles County and the car she was a passenger in stopped to avoid hitting the wires and was struck by a large truck.
Torrential rain flooded some streets and highways in the Twin Cities area, with several reports of vehicles stranded in the flash flooding. The soccer field at Allianz Field in St. Paul flooded, postponing Wednesday’s game between Minnesota United and Colorado. The storms also brought hail larger than golf balls to Shakopee, Minnesota Public Radioreported.
Weather spotters reported several tornado sightings as the storms moved through southern Minnesota. There were no immediate reports of damage from those possible tornadoes.
Tornado warning sirens sounded across much of the Twin Cities on Wednesday night, there were no immediate reports of tornado touchdowns in the metro area. | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/severe-weather-causes-damage-in-minnesota-1-dead-in-crash/ | 2022-05-12T14:17:06Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/severe-weather-causes-damage-in-minnesota-1-dead-in-crash/ | false | 31 |

- The crypto crash has slashed the net-worth of billionaires like Sam Bankman-Fried, Mike Novogratz, and others.
- Coinbase's founder has seen his wealth drop from $13.7 billion to $2.2 billion, per Bloomberg data.
- Here's a round-up of crypto heavyweights who have lost big amid the selloff.
A broad crash across risk assets spread to cryptocurrencies this week, dragging down the net worth of industry titans as bitcoin and ethereum plummet and stablecoins spiral.
FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried's fortune has been slashed in half since the end of March, according to data from Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. The crypto exchange CEO's fortune now sits at about $11.3 billion.
And then there are the Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, co-founders of crypto exchange Gemini, who have each lost roughly $2.2 billion in wealth — about 40%, per Bloomberg data.
The plunge has also slashed the value of Coinbase, the largest US crypto exchange. Coinbase shares have cratered 84% since April 21, and founder Brian Armstrong has seen his net worth fall to $2.2 billion from $13.7 billion in November, according to Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, the net worth of prominent crypto bull Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, has sunk from $8.5 billion to $2.5 billion, Bloomberg data shows. Novogratz has voiced support for TerraUSD, the stablecoin that's made headlines this week for its near-total collapse along with sister token Luna.
On Wednesday, bitcoin dropped below $25,500, its lowest since December 2020 and more than 60% below its high of $69,000 reached in 2021.
Bitcoin was trading around $28,320 at 9:50 a.m. ET. Ethereum moved below $2,000, hovering around $1,925. | https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/crypto-sam-bankman-fried-billionaires-losses-crash-bitcoin-winklevoss-novogratz-2022-5 | 2022-05-12T14:22:38Z | https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/crypto-sam-bankman-fried-billionaires-losses-crash-bitcoin-winklevoss-novogratz-2022-5 | false | 1 |
When Deepica Mutyala partnered her beauty brand with Mattel to launch the first ever South Asian CEO Barbie doll—made in Mutyala’s image—she wanted to make sure it was authentic. Growing up in Sugar Land, Texas, she’d had to navigate both colorism within her South Asian community and Western beauty standards outside of it. (She recalls wearing blue contact lenses and highlighting her hair blond when she was younger, in an attempt to fit in.) And so the doll not only pairs a “power red” pantsuit with Indian-style bangles and jhumkas—traditional South Asian earrings—but also has darker skin. “Whatever we can do to make people feel more seen,” says the 32-year-old entrepreneur.
That’s something of a mission statement for Mutyala, who went viral with a 2015 YouTube video showing how to use red lipstick to color-correct hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones. The video racked up nearly 11 million views and highlighted something beyond a useful makeup hack: most beauty products are not developed with people of color in mind and often do not meet their needs. To reach this huge market, she launched Live Tinted in 2018 as an online community, centering conversations around identity and culture. By 2019, Mutyala had taken members’ feedback to develop the innovative Huestick, an all-in-one color corrector, lipstick, eye shadow, and blush developed with people of color in mind. She raised $3 million from investors, including beauty mogul Bobbi Brown.
Live Tinted now plans to introduce a foundation product “by us, for us, created with intentionality.” Mutyala isn’t deterred by the fact she’s up against much bigger industry players. “I really feel like this community is rooting for me,” she says. “So I just keep going.”

BARRON, Wis. (AP) — Three people, including two children, died in a house fire in Barron County early Thursday, according to sheriff’s officials.
Dispatchers received a 911 call about 3:30 a.m. The caller said three people were still inside the house in Barron.
Firefighters were able to pull two children from the burning home and they were taken to Mayo Hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.
Authorities say the body of a man was later located in the house. A woman was able to get out of the house and was treated at the scene for injuries.
Barron police and fire departments, Barron County sheriff's deputies and Cameron firefighters were among the agencies responding to the scene.
The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation will assist local agencies investigating the fire. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/3-people-have-died-in-Barron-house-fire-17167776.php | 2022-05-12T14:34:01Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/3-people-have-died-in-Barron-house-fire-17167776.php | true | null |
The collaboration has allowed Critical Start to leverage its expert use of Microsoft 365 Defender to improve existing and develop new offerings for the security community
PLANO, Texas, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Critical Start, a leading provider of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) cybersecurity solutions, announced that the company participated in a "design collaboration" with Microsoft to share input and feedback in the development of its new Microsoft Security Experts services. The new offerings were developed in response to the shortage of talent, particularly highly skilled talent, that the cybersecurity industry is experiencing.
The first of the new offerings, Microsoft Defender Experts for Hunting, allows customers with an already existing security operations center to get help from Microsoft experts in hunting for threats across their Microsoft 365 Defender data. The second new offering, Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR, is a managed detection and response service for Microsoft 365 Defender. The third new offering, Microsoft Security Services for Enterprise, is a comprehensive service geared towards large enterprises. All three services in this suite were announced earlier today.
"This collaboration with Microsoft highlights their commitment to the partner community," said Randy Watkins, chief technology officer at Critical Start. "The transparency and visibility provided by Microsoft, coupled with the feedback given by Critical Start during the design phase, allowed us to focus on driving value and providing the best outcome for customers."
"Microsoft worked with Critical Start in the design process because of their expert use of the capabilities inside Microsoft 365 Defender to deliver their managed detection and response service,'' said Andrew Conway, vice President, security Marketing at Microsoft. "The input and feedback provided was instrumental in the development of a solution that will dramatically improve the security of our mutual customers."
In the fall of 2021, Critical Start received an invitation to participate in the collaborative effort, with meetings being held twice per month. During these meetings, the leads from Critical Start's development and product teams came together with engineering teams from Microsoft to work through how to best align Critical Start's existing offerings and the new Microsoft Security Experts offerings. Microsoft developed solutions from scratch based on Critical Start's feedback and input, rather than tweaking an existing offering to make "good enough" services.
"This collaboration with Microsoft highlights their commitment to the partner community," said Randy Watkins, chief technology officer at Critical Start.

Google adopts an Apple-like approach for its Pixel products
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google on Wednesday took a big step toward pushing its Pixel product line-up down a road already paved by Apple and its array of trendsetting devices.
The latest additions to its six-year-old Pixel brand will include Google’s first smartwatch that draws upon the features and expertise it has gained from last year’s $2.1 billion acquisition of fitness gadget maker Fitbit.
The new watch, targeted for an autumn release, marks Google’s first major attempt to make its mark in wearable technology, a market that has been growing steadily since Apple introduced its smartwatch in 2014. Until now, Google’s presence in the smartwatch market had been limited to making a version of its mobile Android operating system for watches made by other companies.
Google also used its annual I/O developers conference to tease a Pixel tablet that it is scheduled for release next year to compete against Apple’s market-leading iPad.
Besides showcasing its upcoming devices, Google also previewed the next version of its Android operating system, which runs most of the world’s smartphones outside Apple’s iPhone. It also highlighted several advances in the field of artificial intelligence.
Google’s emphasis on new devices signals that a company best known for its dominant search engine and other popular internet software is confident it now has a better handle on how to design and manufacture hardware. It released its first Pixel smartphone in 2016.
“It takes a long time to build the capabilities, and now you are seeing very visibly that technology be expressed through many different products,” Rick Osterloh, the executive in charge of Google’s device division, told reporters earlier this week. “It was like an iceberg in that you didn’t see a lot what was happening underneath, but now you can really see all these things coming to the surface.”
Because it already brings more than $200 billion annually in digital ad sales, Google can afford to branch out into different directions and find new ways to connect with people, said Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen.
Adding more products to the Pixel line-up “gives them another touch point to learn and experience things with people more directly,” Nguyen said. “Now, they not only be in your pocket, but now they can be on your wrist, and in your ears, too.”
Before launching its smartwatch, Google will be fleshing out its selection of Pixel phones with a new budget model called the 6a coming out in late July, along with its first set of wireless ear buds to include noise cancellation.
The Pixel 6a will include Google’s top-of-the line processor but sell for $449 — a 25% discount from the slightly more sophisticated Pixel 6 released last fall. The Pixel Buds Pro will sell for $199. Both products are scheduled for a July 28 release.
Because it already brings more than $200 billion annually in digital ad sales, Google can afford to branch out into different directions and find new ways to connect with people, said Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen.
Adding more products to the Pixel line-up “gives them another touch point to learn and experience things with people more directly,” Nguyen said. “They not only be in your pocket, but now they can be on your wrist, and in your ears, too.”
The watch will be the first product to test a privacy pledge that Google made to gain regulatory approval for its Fitbit takeover 16 months ago. As part of the deal, Google promised not to collect the health and fitness information accumulated through Fitbit features to sell digital ads that generate most of its revenue — a commitment that the company said it will honor with the new Pixel Watch.
Although they still aren’t anywhere as popular as phones, smartwatches continued to make significant inroads with projected worldwide shipments of 31.3 million units this year, up from 18.5 million in 2019 before the pandemic helped stoke even more demand for internet-connected gadgets.
Even after pouring billions of dollars into a hardware division that now employs thousands of people, Google hasn’t made major inroads.
Despite occasional glowing reviews, Pixel smartphones have less than a 1% share of the global market for the devices, according to the research firm International Data Corp. All told, IDC estimates that fewer than 30 million Pixel smartphones have been sold since the release of the first model nearly six years ago. By contrast, Apple shipped more than 56 million iPhones during the first three months of this year alone, according to IDC.
But IDC analyst Nabila Popal said there are signs that the Pixel smartphone line is starting to gain more traction. She believes the Pixel 6 would have sold even better than it already has were it not for chip shortages that have hurt a variety of products, increasing the chances that the lower priced 6a model will be “very well received.”
For its part, Google says the Pixel 6 already has outsold the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 combined during its first six months on the market. | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-technology/google-adopts-an-apple-like-approach-for-its-pixel-products/ | 2022-05-12T14:36:30Z | https://thehill.com/news/ap/ap-technology/google-adopts-an-apple-like-approach-for-its-pixel-products/ | true | 55 |

Investors are also spooked by PPI figures, released earlier today, which show that prices at the wholesale level rose further in April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. However, they were in line with Dow Jones estimates. The producer price index gained 0.5% last month and 11% year-on-year. Excluding food, energy and trade services, core PPI climbed 0.6% in April and 6.9% year-on-year.
Equity markets went through all the spectrum of emotions, with one real constant: there is a lot of confusion in the minds of investors. This was due to the release of a slight decline in inflation in April, although less than expected. If there is a decline in prices, it is likely to be desperately slow. Therefore, the Fed may have to act longer to regain control of operations. So that increases the risk of a central bank blunder; and the soft-landing scenario is further undermined. In a few weeks, we have gone from "anyway, inflation is transitory, growth is strong" to "anyway, the fight against inflation will lead at best to sluggish growth, at worst to a recession".
One constant is the systematic bulldozing of technology stocks whose valuations were extravagant. Let's look at the ARKK Innovation investment fund, and compare it to the Berkshire Hathaway fund, which is kind of a temple of conservatism. The former is losing more than 60% in 2022, while the latter is in positive territory. A quarrel between old and new revisited.
Individual U.S. investors are now becoming bearish. Over the last two days, retail traders sold $1.9 billion worth of shares. This is the largest two-day outflow in 14 months, JPMorgan said.
We are definitely entering a more sober economic era, by necessity. We're going to have to adapt and start counting more seriously again, because the free money era is coming to an end. Everyone knew that. But it's easier to realize that the door is closing when it's right in your face.
Economic highlights of the day:
In the United States, the weekly unemployment figures and the producer price index are the main indicators.
The dollar is up 1% to EUR 0.9610. Gold is trading at USD 1846 per ounce. Oil rebounded yesterday, with North Sea Brent crude at USD 106.19 per barrel and US light crude WTI at USD 104.26. The yield on 10-year US debt falls further to 2.89%. Bitcoin is falling back to USD 28,000.

WASHINGTON — The world got a look Thursday at the first wild but fuzzy image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, with astronomers calling it a “gentle giant" on a near-starvation diet.
Astronomers believe nearly all galaxies, including our own, have these giant black holes at their center, where light and matter cannot escape, making it extremely hard to get images of them. Light gets chaotically bent and twisted around by gravity as it gets sucked into the abyss along with superheated gas and dust.
The colorized image unveiled Thursday is from the international consortium behind the Event Horizon Telescope, a collection of eight synchronized radio telescopes around the world. Previous efforts had found the black hole in the center of our galaxy too jumpy to get a good picture.
The University of Arizona’s Feryal Ozel called the black hole “the gentle giant in the center of our galaxy” while announcing the breakthrough. Black holes gobble up galactic material but Ozel said this one is “eating very little.”
The Milky Way black hole is called Sagittarius A(asterisk), near the border of Sagittarius and Scorpius constellations. It is 4 million times more massive than our sun.
“What’s more cool than seeing the black hole at the center of our own Milky Way,” said Caltech astronomer Katherine Bouman at a press conference.
This is not the first black hole image. The same group released the first one in 2019 and it was from a galaxy 53 million light-years away. The Milky Way black hole is much closer, about 27,000 light-years away. A light year is 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers).
The project cost nearly $60 million with $28 million coming from the U.S. National Science Foundation.

For Suchita Oswal Jain, talking about continuous innovation, delivering excellence and customer satisfaction, sustainable development and women’s empowerment in one breath is par for the course. Since the pandemic struck, the third generation entrepreneur, and the Vice-Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Vardhman Textiles has galvanised her company onto the fast track of digitalisation, launched a slew of products customised to suit the ‘New Normal’, all the while ensuring that the strong army of 28,000 employees stayed safe and motivated through troubled times.
Suchita is not one to rest on her laurels though. A human dynamo who’s on a mission to turn her billion-dollar company into a one-stop solution for all textile requirements, she leads by example. Within months of the lifting of successive lockdowns, Vardhman Textiles got back on its feet rapidly and reached near 100 per cent capacity utilisation in both its yarn and fabric businesses. Under her stewardship, the company is now working towards strengthening its IT framework to be in sync with a changing world that is focusing on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain to build businesses. Over the years, she has been a key driving force at Vardhman, instrumental in formulating the group strategy, CSR initiatives, governance policies, new projects and expansion plans.
A Pioneering Spirit
Innovation and agility have always been the hallmarks of Suchita’s style of functioning. As a 22-year-old who joined her father in the family business in the early ’90s, she quickly foresaw the trends that would drive the textile industry in an economy that was just opening up. Recognising the importance of initiating the forward integration of the Vardhman Group, she led the establishment of the company’s first fabric manufacturing plant in Himachal Pradesh, circa 1992. This was Vardhman Textiles’ first brush with fabrics, a move that helped propel it rapidly into becoming the largest vertically integrated textile manufacturer in India.
Suchita spotted both the challenges and the opportunities. On one hand, she was driving product innovation, adding dyeing, printing and processing lines, stabilising and expanding the business; and, on the other hand, her focus was on catering to the most quality-conscious markets of Europe, the US and Asia. A keen observer, Suchita ensures that the company adheres to the highest standards of excellence, promise of quality and customer-oriented approach. It is owing to her endeavours that Vardhman today exports its products to over 75 countries and is a preferred partner for brands such as GAP, H&M, Target, Uniqlo, Calvin Klein, M&S, Kohls and Muji.
About Vardhman
Vardhman Textiles was founded by Suchita’s grandfather Shri Ratan Chand Oswal and her father Shri S P Oswal (Padma Bhushan) in the year 1965. Beginning with a capacity of 6,000 spindles, Vardhman Textiles today boasts over 1.2 million spindles (the largest in the country) and an annual fabric processing capacity of 180 million metres. The Group has five business verticals – yarns, fabrics, acrylic fibre, garments and threads. The company is known for quality products and is a household name for hand-knitting yarns in the country besides being a leader in functional products such as stretch fabrics. Vardhman keeps innovating and adding to its already vast product range as a central research and development team fuels new product development. With Suchita driving its innovation initiatives, the product line has increased to include blend, stretch, cellulosic, linen, polyester and acrylic, as also a larger range of patterned and printed fabrics. During the pandemic, the Group ventured into the manufacturing of face masks, PPE kits and launched a special range of anti-microbial fabrics under the name TravelShield. The thrust on developing green (sustainable) products is equally unparalleled. A recycling plant ReNova has also been established that will utilise textile waste to manufacture fibre.
Femme Force
Suchita is a fierce advocate for women’s empowerment and equal opportunities. Thanks to her efforts, Vardhman is today a beacon of gender diversity in the industrial landscape of the country. Under her leadership, Vardhman Textiles took a leap in the direction of women’s empowerment by convincing the Governments of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh to allow women to work night shifts. Today, an estimated 35 per cent of the company’s 28,000 strong force comprises women, and more than 13 per cent of these happily work night shifts.
Suchita considers skill development and financial independence to be the pillars of empowerment. Thus, learning and development are a norm at Vardhman. The company puts in extra efforts not only to make the transition comfortable for first-time women employees through its conducive and safe workplace environment, but also for their families. Counselling sessions followed by factory visits, workshops, etc are conducted to encourage rural women to work with the company without any apprehensions. After joining, for their holistic development, the organisation provides them training in both technical and soft skills and even organises routine awareness sessions to improve their health and promote healthy living conditions. Owing to the support, some of the women workers of the company who could not even complete formal education have done wonders and reached international platforms, delivered their case-study in English, and won awards.
A Leader Who Inspires
Suchita studied the ropes of the business from her father and worked her way through nearly all the departments of the organisation to familiarise herself with the processes. There has been no looking back since, as she took major strides to move the company from a product-centric business to a customer-centric business model. She centralised her marketing teams to acquaint them with production processes and established a central technology cell as well as a product and design development cell to help the company stay ahead of the competition. Apart from that, Suchita has juggled family and work well, tending to family responsibilities including the upbringing of her two daughters while she handled the rigours of running a business. She has always appreciated the steadfast support of both her parents, and credits her husband Sachit Jain (Vice-Chairman & Managing Director of Vardhman Special Steels Limited) for his unstinting support of her. Today, with her daughters grown up, she is able to devote more time to growing the business flanks and is a source of inspiration to many.
Sustainable Development At Heart
Trained at the London Business School and INSEAD, Suchita knew that staying ahead of the curve in the dynamic textile industry requires astute anticipation of trends, adequate planning and assiduous preparation that is not limited to product development. At Vardhman, she has striven to continuously invest in technology and automation and to improve cost optimisation. Sustainability, circularity and digitalisation are not just phrases to her – she puts in all her energies to keep at the cutting edge of tech that builds her business even as it nourishes the people who are at the core of the company.
She is spearheading the company’s sustainability initiatives by helping build environment-friendly practices such as reducing, reusing and recycling resources such as water, energy or waste. There is a Group-wide committee in place, headed by her, established to identify and implement sustainability initiatives across all the 18 state-of-the-art manufacturing units spread over four states. The textile conglomerate’s endeavours towards sustainability have been recognised by Frost & Sullivan and TERI, and a unit of Vardhman has been selected as a model factory to develop energy-saving guidelines for the industry as per an MoU signed by the Government of India and the Government of Japan.
While sustainability is a way of life, she believes, digitalisation is the only way forward if we are to thrive in a post-COVID world. Suchita has been personally leading the rapid digitalisation drive that Vardhman Textiles has embarked on. In the last two years, the company developed mechanisms to showcase its products to customers virtually, without having to be physically present. Despite being in an industry that rates the physical experience of products highly, she helped her company identify and implement new tech to overcome this barrier. Going a step ahead, the company even started virtual factory tours to acquaint potential clients with the systems and processes at Vardhman.
Suchita aspires to contribute to society to her best. Vardhman has numerous CSR initiatives such as the Vardhman School Development Program and Project Nandini modeled on sustainable development. Under the initiative to promote education, Vardhman has provided over 65 Government schools and 40+ anganwadis with the required infrastructure including well-equipped classroom blocks, toilet complexes, and water coolers with purifiers, etc. Project Nandini is a menstrual hygiene management programme focused on adolescent girls under which affordable sanitary napkins are provided along with conducting awareness sessions to break the taboo about periods. Recently, the Group has expanded this project to slums. Solar lighting, health camps, drinking water and sanitation facilities, etc, comprise major initiatives in rural areas, while the company also provides advanced healthcare equipment to major hospitals in its vicinity where people from far and near come for treatment.
Corporate Life Amid COVID
To Suchita, leadership is all about inclusion and participation, and these qualities came to the fore during the pandemic that keeps evolving and necessitates changes at several levels in corporate functioning. Managing human resources, staying connected with customers and focusing on business was simultaneously done. Suchita ensured that Vardhman’s HR and IR teams along with administrative teams were assigned the task to ensure the safety and well-being of employees. From supplies of essentials to moral support, medical tests to mass vaccination drives, the company made sure its people were safeguarded at every stage.
The Way Forward
Suchita wants to grow Vardhman Textiles’ business manifold and export to even more countries. The company has already won numerous awards for highest exports from Federation of Indian Exports Organizations (FIEO) and Textile Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL). She wants to take the finesse of Indian workers and entrepreneurs to the larger global stage, believing determinedly that India has tremendous potential and that Indian companies can really do well in the international arena.
An astute business person, an empathetic employer and a keen visionary, Suchita’s success can be attributed to her ability to predict trends, persevere and take tough leadership calls when required. The awards that line her shelves bear testimony to her revolutionary vision – she has been conferred with the Outstanding Women Leadership Award 2020 by World Women Leadership Congress, India CSR Leadership Award 2021, Times of India Power Icons 2021, Economic Times Leaders of Change 2021 and ET Inspiring Women Leaders 2022. Besides, Suchita is a celebrated Member of (National Executive Committee) Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Young Presidents’ Organization and International Textile Manufacturers Federation (Board).
However, for her, the journey of taking Vardhman Textiles to newer heights is only just beginning.

New York, New York - Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2022 - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds of purchasers of the securities of Lilium N.V. f/k/a Qell Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: LILM) (NASDAQ: LILMW) (NASDAQ: QELL) (NASDAQ: QELLU) (NASDAQ: QELLW) between March 30, 2021 and March 14, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important June 17, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action commenced by the Firm.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lilium securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lilium class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4894 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 17, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Lilium materially overstates the Lilium Jet's design and capabilities; (2) Lilium materially overstates the likelihood for the Lilium Jet's timely certification; (3) Lilium misrepresents its ability to obtain or create the necessary batteries for the Lilium Jet; (4) the SPAC-merger would not and did not generate enough cash to commercially launch the Lilium Jet; (5) Qell Acquisition Corp. did not engage in proper due diligence regarding the Merger; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Lilium class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4894 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Virginia Democratic County Supervisor Indicted on Dozens of Election Fraud Felonies, Embezzlement
A Democratic county official in western Virginia has been charged with 82 felonies, scores of them related to election fraud.
Buchanan County Supervisor Trey Adkins was indicted by a grand jury on May 2, according to WJHL-TV in Johnson City, Tennessee.
According to the station, he’s facing 34 counts of making a false statement related to election fraud; 11 counts of violating absentee voting procedure; eight counts of public embezzlement; 11 counts of forgery of public records; 15 counts of uttering related to public records; and three counts of conspiracy to make a false statement related to election fraud.
Court documents cited by WJLH indicate that an investigation into the charges has been ongoing for more than two years. A prosecutor from nearby Russell County has been appointed special prosecutor in the case, which involves the Virginia State Police.
“According to the records, the jury found that the supervisor Trey Adkins falsified absentee ballots and forged signatures to win an election for public office,” WJHL reported.
Adkins first won election to the five-member Buchanan County Board of Supervisors in 2011, according to the Virginia Department of Elections.
The counts of embezzlement stem from allegations that Adkins supplied county-owned gravel to private individuals through his personal construction company.
Adkins’ aunt, Sherry Lynn Bailey, also was charged with 12 felonies in the indictment, according to WJHL.
Adkins released an 11-minute video on his personal Facebook page in response to the charges, strenuously asserting his innocence.
“We’re charged with voter fraud,” said Adkins plainly in his video.
“The issue they’re having is how the envelopes were witnessed. So, you know, it’s not that somebody didn’t get to vote the way they wanted to, or there was some kind of big fraud going on. That’s the term they use for the code section that they applied to it, and we’ll address that.”
Adkins is refusing to resign from the Buchanan County Board of Supervisors, pledging to continue in office as he fought against the election fraud charges in court.
After releasing the rambling video, Adkins has refused to speak to the news media, deferring to his criminal defense attorney.
With a population of about 20,00o, according to the U.S. Census, Buchanan County is in the far western part of Virginia, with borders on both Kentucky and West Virginia.

''The agriculture sector needs investment. Connecting agriculture with technology is the need of the hour,'' Tomar said.
Stating that the maize crop has multiple benefits as it is used as foodgrain, and animal feed, besides making ethanol, the minister said the government has increased the minimum support price (MSP) for maize significantly to augment production of this coarse cereal.

Mega Millions mistake: NY Lottery temporarily pauses payments after ‘human error’
NEW YORK (WABC) - Mega Millions temporarily suspended prize payments after a mega mistake during a drawing in New York.
It happened Tuesday night when the host mistakenly called the wrong number.
It looked like any other televised Mega Millions drawing with an $86 million jackpot at stake. The five winning numbers were drawn normally.
But a closer look revealed instead of the six that was announced, the actual number is a nine, the digit on the ping-pong ball underlined to avoid confusion.
Not only did announcer John Crow repeat the error, the six was displayed graphically onscreen.
“I would definitely be mad. I would definitely be mad. But I don’t know how they’re going to work that out,” lottery player Ingrid Campbell said.
That is the question. Even Wednesday’s New York Lottery printout of winning numbers lists six as the Mega Ball, though the official page of the multistate lottery correctly lists nine.
So do players with a Mega Ball of six have any recourse?
Not really, said attorney Matthew Eyet, because of a regulation on the books that says, “The correct numbers are the ones that are drawn, not the numbers that were reported. And so they anticipated this as a possibility, probably because they thought a clerical error would occur in just transcribing what the number was, not that the announcer would call out the wrong number. But, be that as it may, it still, in my opinion, would apply in this case.”
There were no grand prize winners with either six or nine as the Mega Ball.
In New York, there were two $10,000 prizes with a six. There were 30,000 other players with smaller jackpots totaling nearly $130,000.
Would the state absorb that cost? Possibly, Eyet said.
“It’s not good for the game from the state’s perspective if people are going around feeling slighted by the state,” he said. “So yeah, they could absolutely pay out those people if they wanted.”
In a statement, New York Lottery cited human error, adding the lottery has temporarily suspended prize payments for all Mega Millions tickets and all Mega Millions players should hold on to their tickets for the May 10 drawing until the issue is resolved.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Strathallan student lands offer from NYU
STRATHALLAN School pupil Thandi Seronga has been offered a place to read liberal studies at New York University.
The 17 year old from Tanzania, who joined Strathallan’s sixth form two years ago, said she was thrilled when she got the offer.
“It’s really quite amazing,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it when I got the email.
“I will get to explore so many subjects before specialising in psychology. It feels like a whole new world has opened its doors to me.”
She added: “Before moving to Scotland, I studied in Kenya and lived in London, so adapting to life in Perthshire was a small adventure itself, but I would do it all again.
“I can’t wait to see what life is like in New York City.”
Fiona MacBain, Strathallan’s head of sixth form, said: “Ever since she joined our school, Thandi has shown a strong work ethic and passion.
“She has thrown herself into new opportunities here that she had never done before including stage-craft for our school productions of A Midsummer’s Nights Dream and Legally Blonde.
“We wish her all the best for the future.”
Strathallan said notable New York University alumni include Martin Scorsese, Angelina Jolie, Alec Baldwin, Pedro Pascal, and Timothée Chalamet, and the co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey.

Created by Rachel Clements, Sam Meikle, and Isaac Elliott, ‘MaveriX’ is a teen sports drama series. The story revolves around a group of six junior motocross riders who join the newly-formed eponymous team in Central Australia in the hopes of making a name for themselves at the MX National Championships. Faced with the challenges that the harsh environment, grueling training sessions, and their conflicting personalities pose, the young daredevils must learn how to work together so they can grow together.
‘MaveriX’ seeks to introduce the world to motocross, a real off-road motorcycle racing sport. If you are wondering whether the show is based on actual events, we got you covered.
Is MaveriX a True Story?
No, ‘MaveriX’ is not based on a true story. However, several people directly involved in the sport were part of the writing and the filming processes. The show is predominantly set and filmed in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, a major hub for off-road motorcycle racing. About seven years before the show’s premiere on Netflix, co-creators Clements and Elliott began discussing a story about a family and teen drama show set against the backdrop of dirt bikes and off-road racing. At the time, they were working together on ‘Finke: There and Back,’ a feature documentary about the Finke Desert Race, held annually in Alice Springs.
Moreover, around the same time, Clements’s son, Digby, an Under-10 Central Australian BMX champion, wanted to transition to motocross and dirt bikes and participate in the junior club championships. This made Clements worried about her son, and she came to understand the rigorous training that kids go through to prepare themselves to take part in the sport.
“They need to learn about safety and when to pull back from risk; respect for coaches, teammates and your own body; teamwork; maintenance and care of equipment; fair play and sportsmanship; being humble when others are crashing around you, and always keeping an eye out for others around you to make sure that everyone else is ok,” Clements wrote in a blog for the Australian Children’s Television Foundation. “Indeed, many of these are life lessons that my son needs to learn in order to develop into a decent man. These lessons and more are all learnt by our characters in MaveriX.”
Clements subsequently spoke to Meikle and took him to Alice Springs to see the Finke Desert Race, and the project began to take shape from there. The creators utilized Elliott’s immense experience in the world of off-road motorcycle racing to develop the plot. One of the main characters, Scott Griffin (Darcy Tadich), bears a resemblance to the director of the TV special ‘The Legend of Burnout Barry.’ “My racing number was sixty-one and I rode that exact bike when I used to race,” he pointed out in an interview. “And it was just me. I was just like filming a mirror.”
They hired prominent motocross riders, including Renae Ferris, Emma Haylock, and Dean Ferris, to double for the actors. Furthermore, they brought the likes of the New Zealander three-time Motocross World Champion Courtney Duncan and Australian motocross legend Lee Hogan into the writers’ room. Clearly, ‘MaveriX’ is not based on a true story, but the creators went to a great length to make it look as authentic as possible.

Female student burnt alive in Sokoto for insulting Prophet Muhammad
A female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto State was on Thursday burnt alive over an alleged comment against Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
DAILY POST gathered that the incident, which triggered tension in the school environment, occurred on Thursday morning.
The student, identified simply as Deborah, was, according to reports, beaten to a pulp before she was set ablaze.
In a video trending on social media, some young men were seen hurling stones at the victim.
When the victim fell to the ground unconsciously, the attackers gathered tyres around her before she was set ablaze.
Efforts by DAILY POST to reach the Sokoto State Police Command were unsuccessful as of press time.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sanusi Abubakar, did not take his calls nor responded to text messages forwarded to him. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/12/female-student-burnt-alive-in-sokoto-for-insulting-prophet-muhammad/ | 2022-05-12T15:30:19Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/12/female-student-burnt-alive-in-sokoto-for-insulting-prophet-muhammad/ | false | 1 |
KITCHENER, Ont. - Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford says his candidate Stephen Lecce has his full support, a day after Lecce apologized in the wake of a published report about a so-called slave auction during his time as a fraternity leader in university.
Ford says Lecce acknowledged it was inappropriate, has said sorry, and has been a strong advocate of combatting racism in schools during his time as education minister.
PressProgress, an outlet founded and funded by the Broadbent Institute, published a story Tuesday night alleging that while Lecce was a Western University student he participated in a 2006 event dubbed a "slave auction" at Sigma Chi, which has no formal affiliation with Western.
Lecce said in a statement that he "unreservedly" apologizes and will advance the interests of all Ontarians, regardless of faith, heritage, orientation or race.
Three NDP candidates, who were members of the party's Black caucus during the previous government, said in a joint statement that slavery is not a joke and called on Ford to remove Lecce as a candidate.
The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario has said Lecce's actions raise serious concerns about his understanding of anti-Black racism and his ability to serve students, families and staff who are Black.

Conservatives pen op-ed bemoaning ‘age of increasing national self-doubt’
Nearly 60 prominent conservatives came together to write an op-ed published Thursday in National Review condemning the current political climate in the U.S., saying that it pits individuals against “the American project.”
“We live in an age of increasing national self-doubt,” the 59 authors said in an op-ed for the magazine. “The American project, as such, is under assault.”
The group, which included members of Congress, former Cabinet members, professors and pundits, condemned the animosity toward “our traditional heroes,” institutions such as elections and law enforcement, the education system, the system of government, and “traditional values of fair play, free speech, and religious liberty.”
“The national mood resembles those of the 1930s and 1970s, when radical critiques of America got considerable traction and our national self-confidence often seemed to hang by a thread,” they wrote.
National figures who signed on to the piece include former Attorney General William Barr, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R).
Despite the hostility in today’s politics, the writers said they believe “America is a fundamentally fair society with bountiful opportunity” whose “original sins have been honorably, if belatedly, repudiated.”
“To the extent that these notions are falling out of favor, it is the responsibility of those who love America to revivify them,” they wrote in the piece, titled “America’s Crisis of Self-Doubt.”
“There is no doubt that the country faces severe challenges, many the result of shortsightedness and wishful thinking, but we still have an enormous capacity for renewal. It is because our ancestor patriots rejected despair and kept faith with America that we are here to fight another day.”
The op-ed comes amid severe polarization in Washington, D.C., and at a time when pride in the country, which remains relatively high, has decreased with each generation.
An Ipsos poll in the summer of 2021 found that 69 percent of U.S. citizens say they are proud to be American.
The op-ed authors posit the “common sense and decency of the American people” will combat “illiberalism.” This includes the U.S. law and Constitution along with “families, churches and synagogues, neighborhoods, and voluntary associations.”
“We represent various points on the conservative spectrum and may travel under different labels. We certainly have disagreements about policy questions and priorities. But we are united as devotees of America. We continue to be thankful for her, and we are determined to defend her and lift her up,” the article concluded.

CLICK AND SELL. Dealer David Zwirner has created a new tool that allows people to submit photos of work to his gallery (via phone or computer) for potential resale, Melanie Gerlis reports in her Financial Times column. This is the latest tech innovation from Zwirner, which also runs an online selling platform, called Platform, that presents work from smaller galleries. If you need some quality garden work in New York, the gallerist may be able to help you there, too. At Curbed, Zwirner spoke about the work of landscape designer Christy Dailey, who was involved with the roof gardens of his 20th Street gallery in Manhattan as well as the gardens at his family’s townhouse. Dailey, he said, planted everything “in such a way that each season has a distinct quality—my favorite being early fall, when the plants are mature, tall, and a bit wild.”
ALL’S FAIR. Vogue has a dispatch from the small but mighty Marfa Invitational, which just ran in the Texas town that Donald Judd made famous. Amid the action, designer Cynthia Rowley even did a fashion show with “comely local cowgirls on horseback,” Alessandra Codinha reports. Meanwhile, the Korea Herald previewed the Art Busan fair, which brings 133 galleries to that South Korean port city through this weekend. It notes that the enterprise just parted ways its CEO since 2020, Byun Won-kyung, saying in a statement that it “could not maintain the relationship.” In other fair news, Frieze New York arrives next week (watch this space!), and the grand dame of the scene, Art Basel, will be welcoming all-comers to Switzerland next month.

Dealer Larry Gagosian is not talking about his purchase of the $195 million Warhol this week at Christie’s, but his gallery’s chief operating officer, Andrew Fabricant, did cover a wide range of topics with WWD, like fashion, Basquiat, the Chinese art market, and more. Art “has always been a very good hedge against inflation,” he said. [WWD]
Archaeologists working near Stonehenge in England have identified hunting pits that date back more than 10,000 years—one is said to be the largest ever discovered in northwest Europe. The find indicates that the area was “a special place for hunter-gatherer communities thousands of years before the first stones were erected,” one researcher said. [BBC News]

The Kicker
OH BROTHER! Artist Jake Chapman, who rocketed to stardom while making with this work brother, Dinos, in the 1990s as part of the Young British Artists, has a solo show up in London right now, and chatted with critic Jonathan Jones in the Guardian about why the siblings are no longer working together . “It was never a love-in,” he said. “It was always tinged with a certain seething disdain for each other so I guess at some point that reached critical mass, and we decided to go our separate ways.” Yikes! Fans of the pair’s mischievous art need not worry, though. Jones writes of Jake’s solo show: “Gleeful bad taste is everywhere.” [The Guardian] | https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/david-zwirner-consignment-michael-armitage-coin-morning-links-1234628472/ | 2022-05-12T15:35:19Z | https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/david-zwirner-consignment-michael-armitage-coin-morning-links-1234628472/ | false | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — When his cellphone and computer accessories business was hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Alvaro started thinking about leaving Colombia for the U.S.
The 55-year-old, who said he also faced discrimination in Colombia for his sexual orientation, learned this year that Mexico doesn't require visas for Colombians. That meant he could easily fly to the U.S. border.
“I started hearing that one could ask for political asylum at the border,” said Alvaro, who and insisted that his last name not be published due to his legal status.
Alvaro joined tens of thousands of Colombians fleeing one of Latin America’s most populous countries on a migration route that has rarely been used — until now.
Colombians were stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border more than 15,000 times in March, up nearly 60% from February and nearly 100-fold over last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures. Many fly to Mexico City or Cancún and take a bus or another plane to border towns before crossing into the U.S.
Years ago, Colombians came to the U.S. on visas and later asked for asylum, said Andrés Daza, an attorney who works with the Colombian consulate in Miami.
But the Biden administration is pressing Mexico to get stricter. In April, Mexico imposed online registration for Colombians, demanding travel itineraries, hotel reservations in Mexico and departure tickets.
Alvaro found a way around the rules. A smuggler reserved him a hotel room and he flew to Mexico City. From there, he flew to Mexicali, across the border from Calexico, California. He climbed a border wall using a shaky ladder and surrendered to border agents. After being detained a few days, he eventually went to Miami, where he has nephews.
Over the last year, Mexico introduced travel restrictions for three other South American countries from which large numbers of immigrants were coming to the U.S., with immediate results. U.S. authorities stopped Brazilians 65% fewer times in January, the month after Mexico started requiring visas. Ecuadorians were stopped 95% fewer times in October, a month after visa requirements. Venezuelans were stopped 88% fewer times in February, after visa requirements began Jan. 21.
A similar dynamic may be playing out with Colombians.
“If you look at the high numbers of Venezuelans that reached Mexico in December, before the visa restrictions went in January, it could suggest that people were told — it’s a role that smuggling organizations and other play — ‘Now it’s your chance, come now,’” said Maureen Meyer, vice president of programs at The Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights group.
Colombians have little reason to worry. Along with Peru and Chile, Colombia and Mexico form the Pacific Alliance economic bloc. All four countries agree to not require visas of each other.
Colombians have largely avoided expulsions the U.S. has carried out under pandemic-related powers to deny migrants a chance to seek asylum. The U.S. has expelled immigrants more than 1.8 million times using Title 42 authority, which was named for a public health law and is due to expire May 23.
Title 42 has been applied unevenly across nationalities, due to costs, diplomatic relations and other considerations. In March, only 303, or 2% of stops, resulted in expulsion for Colombians, according to CBP. The agency said in a statement that its ability to expel migrants under Title 42 “may be limited for several reasons, including Mexico’s ability and capacity to receive those individuals."
Mexico has agreed to take migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba and Nicaragua.
Several hundred Colombians have been expelled under Title 42 authority since the U.S. ramped up flights there in March, officials said. Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that tracks removal flights, tallied 28 to Colombia in March and April, up from 12 in the previous 10 months.
Seated on a metal folding chair in a crowded waiting room at the Colombian consulate in New York, Darwin Hincapié said he left Colombia and flew to Cancún after being extorted by gangs. Hincapié listened to music on his headphones while hoping to get a Colombian passport. U.S. border agents took his after he crossed the border in November with a smuggler.
“There is quality of life here I don’t have that in Colombia,” said the 27-year-old, who now lives in Queens.
The pandemic left many businesses in Colombia bankrupt. The country saw massive protests last year over proposed income tax hikes.
In rural areas, community leaders face threats from rebel groups and drug cartels fighting over territory abandoned after the country's largest rebel movement, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as FARC, made peace with the government in 2016.
Carmen Salavarrieta, whose nonprofit group helps immigrants obtain local IDs and provides English classes in New Jersey, said Angels for Action is seeing a record number of Colombians seeking help.
“Many are professionals, but they come through the border, by foot. Can you believe it?” she said, adding that some come to her organization for food and clothes.
Jaime Rojas and his wife, Nataly Chaparro, are among professionals who crossed on foot. They left Bogotá with their two kids after Rojas lost his job as an information systems technician and Chaparro lost hers as an English teacher. The also faced retaliation from gangs because of their volunteer work trying to steer young people away from drugs.
The family now lives in New Jersey. The husband and wife work 10 to 12 hours a day sorting legumes and packaging salads at a wholesale food manufacturer.
“This has been hard work," Chaparro, 36 said, "but we are better off here."

Kicking off the 2023 assembly poll campaign in Madhya Pradesh, the youth wing of the Madhya Pradesh Congress staged a protest in Bhopal on Thursday.
Addressing the gathering at MPCC, party state head Kamal Nath said that there have been enough talks on joblessness and inflation. In order to come to power in 2023, the Congress party needs to fight the police and administration and every Congress worker should be ready for this fight, he added.
“The manner in which the Shivraj government used water cannons, arrested YC workers and booked them in fake cases, exhibits the autocratic behaviour of the state government,” said Nath, commenting on the ‘Yuva Shankhnaad’ protest in Bhopal. “The government has affirmed that it’s not ready to listen to the youth and is eager to smother the voices seeking jobs.”
Srinivas BV, the national president of the Youth Congress urged the party workers to raise rebellions against the state government at the district level. He urged YV workers to corner BJP leaders on issues including joblessness, inflation and power scarcity, whenever these leaders visit their respective areas.
On issues ranging from inflation, unemployment, anomalies in entrance exams, the Vyapam scam and others, the YC workers staged a massive protest at Shivaji Nagar area where the police had put up barricades to prevent protesters from moving further. The police used water cannons as the protesters tried climbing on the barricades and both the sides pushed each other.
Including former MPCC chief Arun Yadav, Sriniwas BV, Kunal Chauhdary, Vipin Vankhede and others were arrested on the occasion.
Well aware of the youths’ issues and the power of youth voters in the state, the Congress party has planned to launch the 2023 poll campaign while addressing youths and the Thursday protest was part of this strategy. To add, thousands of teachers who cleared recruitment tests are demanding appointments, thousands of youths are seeking the filling of vacant government posts and large numbers of youths have alleged anomalies in Vyapam (PEB) conducted exams.

Zverev, Tsitsipas and Swiatek reach last eight in Rome
Issued on: Modified:
Second seed Alexander Zverev and fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas both advanced on Thursday to the quarter-finals at the Rome Masters while the women's top seed Iga Swiatek racked up her 25th consecutive win.
Zverev saw off the unseeded Australian Alex de Minaur 7-6, 6-3 while for the second day in a row, Tsitsipas needed three sets to overcome an adversary.
On Wednesday, Tsitsipas saved a match point on two separate occasions during his victory over Grigor Dimitrov.
On Thursday, he came from a set down to beat the unseeded Russian Karen Khachanov 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 in just under two hours.
"I was able to improve my game in the second and third set," said the 23-year-old Greek.
"I concentrated on getting the ball to land deep and I was able to stay calm while I was serving taking time to visualise the patterns I wanted to play.
"The last two matches haven't been easy but as long as I'm able to find ways to win ... that's what matters most."
In the women's draw, Swiatek, the defending champion, saw off Victoria Azarenka 6-4, 6-1 to notch up her milestone.

25 CONSECUTIVE WINS for World No.1 @iga_swiatek! pic.twitter.com/TkB39sqLTW
The 20-year-old Pole edged a tight first set against the former world number one.
But after trading games in the second set, Swiatek ran riot to wrap up the victory in just over an hour.
During her winning sequence, Swiatek has claimed titles at Doha, Indian Wells, Miami and Stuttgart.
Two years ago, she became the first player from Poland to claim a title at a Grand Slam tournament when she won the French Open in Paris.
Following the retirement of world number one Ashleigh Barty, Swiatek rose to the top of the women's game and is likely to arrive in Paris as hot favourite for the 2022 French Open crown.

The glam look comes as her Emmerdale character's murderous rampages have been shortlisted for a British Soap Award, ahead of next months ceremony.
Emmerdale will take on Coronation Street in the awards, as it's shortlisted for the scenes showing Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) died of injuries sustained in an horrific hate crime.
With host Phillip Schofield at the helm, the live awards will be presented by an array of well-known faces from across the TV and showbiz world.
Details: Paige added silver drop earrings and a matching ring to accesorise, sporting a dewy makeup look
Paige's character Meena first hit the Dales in September 2020 - and the serial killer was quickly thrusted at the forefront of many gripping storylines, which saw Paige scoop the award for Best Villain at the 2021 Inside Soap Awards.
Last month, scenes from the soap showed Meena being found guilty of her crimes, with things taking a shocking turn as she was stabbed with a shard of glass.
Pleased with her explosive exit from the soap, Paige recently told Christine Lampard on Lorraine : 'I always imagined it would go a certain way, but it's so much better than that.'

Fisker Inc. confirmed Thursday that Foxconn will build its second car, a compact EV, at a newly acquired plant in Lordstown, Ohio.
The Fisker
FSR,
Taiwan’s Foxconn, also known as Hon Tai Technology Group
2354,
The companies also signed a contract manufacturing agreement and announced an EV joint venture. Foxconn is better known as the maker of Apple Inc.’s
AAPL,
Shares of Lordstown Motors rallied more than 30% after the announcements, and are up another 35% on Thursday. The company had been dogged by concerns it could have run out of money if the sale had fallen through.
Fisker, whose business model is to bring in house design and consumer-facing components but leave the manufacturing to contractors, has inked deals with Foxconn as well as Magna International Inc.
MG,
The Irvine, Calif., company described the Pear as “a revolutionary electric vehicle that won’t fit into any existing segment.”
It plans on using new lighting technology and “a wraparound front windscreen inspired by a glider plane glass canopy, enhancing frontal vision,” Fisker Chief Executive Henrik Fisker said in a statement. Fisker said he will visit the Lordstown factory with a team of engineers on Friday.
Fisker, which became public in 2020 through a merger with a blank-check company, hopes to start production of the Fisker Ocean, the luxury SUV that would be its first EV, in Austria in November.
Fisker said in March that reservations for the Ocean continued “at an elevated pace” and had totaled more than 45,000 preorders, including 1,600 fleet reservations. | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/fisker-foxconn-confirm-build-of-compact-ev-in-lordstown-plant-11652369312?rss=1&siteid=rss | 2022-05-12T15:48:41Z | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/fisker-foxconn-confirm-build-of-compact-ev-in-lordstown-plant-11652369312?rss=1&siteid=rss | false | 3 |

Adidas sports bra ads banned in UK over bare breasts
By Amarachi Orie, CNN Business
Adidas advertisements showing photo grids of bare breasts have been banned in the UK by the Advertising Standards Authority.
The apparel company’s promotional material for its sports bras, released in February, featured a grid of photographs of various women’s unclothed chests. The images, which appeared in a tweet and two posters, aimed to highlight body diversity and Adidas’s effort to cater to all shapes and sizes.
The ASA said it had received 24 complaints about the ads.
Some considered that the use of nudity was gratuitous, objectified women by sexualizing them and reducing them to body parts, according to the ASA ruling, published online Wednesday. Others challenged whether the poster ads were appropriate for display where it could be seen by children.
Both complaints were upheld, and the ads must not appear again in the forms complained of, said the authority.
The ASA said it “acknowledged that the intention of the ads was to show that women’s breasts differed in shape and size, which was relevant to the sports bras being advertised.”
The authority said it did not think that the way the women were portrayed was sexually explicit or objectified them.
But it added: “We considered that the depiction of naked breasts was likely to be seen as explicit nudity. We noted the breasts were the main focus in the ads, and there was less emphasis on the bras themselves, which were only referred to in the accompanying text.”
The ASA added: “As the ads contained explicit nudity, we considered that they required careful targeting to avoid causing offence to those who viewed them.”
Adidas stood by the campaign.
In a statement to CNN Business Thursday, Adidas said: “The gallery creative was designed to show just how diverse breasts are, featuring different shapes and sizes that highlight why tailored support is paramount.
“It is important to note that the ASA ruling was related to this creative being used in an untargeted fashion rather than the creative itself and the message, which we stand proudly behind.”
Controversial ads divide opinion
Adidas’ campaign went viral in February.
The company pinned the ad to its Twitter page under a link to the bra collection. The ad’s tagline was: #SupportIsEverything.
“We believe women’s breasts in all shapes and sizes deserve support and comfort,” Adidas said in the campaign. “Which is why our new sports bra range contains 43 styles, so everyone can find the right fit for them.”
Adidas also put up a poster that showed the same cropped images of the bare breasts of 62 women and stated: “The reasons we didn’t make just one new sports bra.”
Another poster showed the same text and cropped images of 64 women, but their nipples were obscured by pixilation.
Women and men on Twitter both weighed in on Adidas’ marketing ploy — with decidedly mixed reactions.
Some Twitter users, mostly women consumers, said they would have preferred to see the bras versus the breasts. Others said the ad was inappropriate, or that it caught them off-guard and confused them. And some users said it was bold and applauded Adidas for it.

The world's largest zero-emission haul truck, the nuGen, was recently revealed to the world by mining giant Anglo American.
The enormous hydrogen fuel cell and lithium-ion battery powerplant that powers the truck was designed and developed by First Mode, a creative engineering company based in Seattle, whose mission is to help the world transition to cleaner solutions.
In an interview with IE, First Mode CEO Chris Voorhees said "one of the big projects that we've been working on is the decarbonization of mining activities."
The paradox of the green energy transition
Paradoxically, mining, with its poor environmental track record, will be vital in the fight against climate change.
According to the World Economic Forum, the transition to clean energy, required to avert the most disastrous effects of climate change, may need as much as 3 billion tons of metals for the development of batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, and other machinery.
First Mode's Voorhees highlighted this point to IE. Though mining is a "pretty dirty industry with a pretty checkered past that has had a lot of problems and has done a lot of environmental damage in history, it is also vital to society," he explained.
"And so from a standpoint of decarbonization, you need to start at the source. If you cannot get material in a sustainable way and in a zero-emission fashion, then to some extent it's fruit from a poison tree," Voorhees explained, referring to electric vehicles that require materials that are sometimes mined unethically or in a way that is damaging to the environment.
A massive 2MW hydrogen powerplant
Anglo American's internal combustion ultra-class haul truck burned thousands of gallons of diesel fuel every year. The truck is as tall as a three-story building and weighs 200 tons when it's empty and it can carry a further 290 tons of mining materials. Now, thanks to the 2MW hydrogen fuel cell and lithium-ion battery powerplant developed by First Mode, it's emission-free.
On its website, First Mode explains that "one of the challenges in developing the powerplant was that the building blocks of a zero-emission truck are fundamentally larger than the building blocks of a diesel truck." The 2MW powerplant provides electrical power to the wheels via the vehicle's drive electronics and also supports the vehicle's auxiliary systems, including its steering and hydraulics.
The system also allows the truck to store energy from regenerative braking, meaning it can generate electricity as it drives downhill toward the mines.
The new emission-free truck, according to Anglo American, will keep 700 cars' worth of carbon dioxide emissions out of the atmosphere. The mining company explained that large trucks currently account for 70-80 percent of diesel fuel consumption at its mining sites.
The mining industry as a whole accounts for roughly 7 percent of global carbon emissions, and diesel haul trucks represent up to 50 percent of the total energy use at mine sites. Tackling those emissions will be key to not only stopping further harm to our planet, but also allowing for the sustainable procurement of the materials required for a green energy transition. | https://interestingengineering.com/largest-zero-emission-vehicle-mw-powerplant | 2022-05-12T15:55:42Z | https://interestingengineering.com/largest-zero-emission-vehicle-mw-powerplant | false | 1 |
Plants have been grown in lunar soil for the 1st time ever
By Ashley Strickland, CNN
In a landmark first, scientists have grown plants in lunar soil using samples collected during the Apollo missions to the moon. This is the first time plants have been sprouted and grown on Earth in soil from another celestial body.
The study could lay the foundation for growing plants that supply oxygen and food on the moon, a timely consideration as NASA’s Artemis program looks to land the first woman and the first person of color at the lunar south pole later this decade.
But the experiments also reveal just how stressful it is for plants to grow in lunar regolith, or soil, which is wildly different from natural habitats on Earth.
A study detailing the plant experiment published Thursday in the journal Communications Biology.
Different types of plants, including food crops, have flown on the space shuttle and the International Space Station. Plant samples have even been used to prove that lunar samples aren’t harmful to life on Earth.
“Plants helped establish that the soil samples brought back from the moon did not harbor pathogens or other unknown components that would harm terrestrial life, but those plants were only dusted with the lunar regolith and were never actually grown in it,” said study coauthor Anna-Lisa Paul, research professor of horticultural sciences at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Paul and study coauthor Rob Ferl, distinguished professor of horticultural sciences at the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, wanted to take things a step further and see if seeds would grow in lunar soil.
“For future, longer space missions, we may use the Moon as a hub or launching pad,” Ferl said in a statement. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil, something that is totally outside of a plant’s evolutionary experience? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?”
Historic samples
It’s an experiment that has been long in the making — 15 years have passed since the researchers made their first proposal and request for lunar samples. The request was granted 18 months ago.
The research team requested 4 grams of lunar material collected during the Apollo 17 mission from NASA. Ryan Zeigler, NASA’s Apollo sample curator, saw the scientific value in providing more from different Apollo missions. He sent them a total of 12 grams (2.7 teaspoons) from lunar samples collected from the Apollo 11, 12 and 17 missions.
“That made a big difference in enabling us to take a deeper look into the science and the effects of lunar regolith on plants than we would have otherwise been able to do,” Paul said.
The researchers used wells the size of thimbles as pots. Typically, these plastic trays are used to culture cells.
The scientists filled each well with a gram of lunar soil, added nutrients and water, and poked in a few seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress, a small flowering plant native to Eurasia and Africa.
Thale cress is an attractive plant specimen to researchers because it is well studied and its genetic code has been mapped — which allowed the researchers to study how the alien soil affected the plant’s gene expression. And the plant has already been to space aboard the shuttle and space station, providing the team with space data to use for a comparison.
Arabidopsis seeds were also planted in a synthetic substance that simulates lunar soil, as well volcanic ash and other substrates from extreme environments.
To the surprise of the researchers, almost all of the seeds planted in the dark lunar soil actually sprouted and began to grow.
“We did not predict that,” Paul said. “That told us that the lunar soils didn’t interrupt the hormones and signals involved in plant germination.”
Antagonistic soil
The Arabidopsis sprouts, however, showed signs of struggle as they adjusted to the lunar soil.
The seedlings were smaller, grew slower and varied in size compared with plants grown in Earth soils. The roots were stunted. And the plants took longer to grow expanded leaves than the Arabidopsis plants grown in volcanic ash. Some of the lunar soil plants showed reddish black pigments in their leaves, an outward sign of stress.
On a genetic level, three of the smaller, darker plants expressed more than 1,000 genes that were largely related to stress.
“At the genetic level, the plants were pulling out the tools typically used to cope with stressors, such as salt and metals or oxidative stress, so we can infer that the plants perceive the lunar soil environment as stressful,” Paul said.
“Ultimately, we would like to use the gene expression data to help address how we can ameliorate the stress responses to the level where plants — particularly crops — are able to grow in lunar soil with very little impact to their health.”
The Arabidopsis plants that struggled the most were grown in mature lunar soil, and they turned purple as an oxidative stress response. These soils collected during the Apollo 11 mission were more exposed to the harsh space environment, and the plants grown in the Apollo 12 and 17 samples seemed to fare better.
The lunar surface, regularly bombarded by cosmic rays and solar wind, also includes iron particles and tiny fragments of glass. All of these elements could impair plant growth.
“Even the plants that looked healthy were struggling to stay looking healthy,” Paul said. “They grew in lunar regolith, but they had to deal with it at a metabolic level in order to maintain that kind of health.”
Space greenhouses
The researchers want to conduct follow-up studies to understand how growing plants in the lunar environment could actually alter the moon’s soil.
“The Moon is a very, very dry place,” said study coauthor Stephen Elardo, UF assistant professor of geology. “How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the mineralogy more hospitable to plants?”
On the moon, these plants could pull resources from the lunar soil, like metallic iron, and make them available in useful forms.
Further research could also help the researchers determine the most efficient way to grow plants in lunar soil and help them avoid the stressors identified during the study. And the team wanted to reach a clear understanding of the nutritional value of these plants — and if that’s affected by the soil.
While thale cress is edible, it’s not tasty or considered to be a food crop. But it’s in the same plant family as broccoli, kale, turnips and cauliflower.
Sharmila Bhattacharya, chief scientist for astrobionics at NASA, found the plant growth discovery to be “quite thrilling” and said the study presents many follow-up opportunities for scientists. Bhattacharya did not participate in this study.
“We need to work out how to make the plants grow even better in this regolith substrate,” Bhattacharya wrote in an email. “For example, do we need to add other components to help the plants along, and if so, what are they? Are there other plants that can adapt better to these regolith substrates, and if so, what traits make them more robust to these environments?
“That’s what’s so exciting about science; each new finding leads to more unique and transformative results down the road, which we can then use to help improve sustainability for our future space exploration missions!”
The scientists see their experiment as a positive result for what may be possible as humans push the boundaries of space exploration.
“It’s amazing that the plant still grows in this harsh environment,” Elardo said. “It’s stressed, but it doesn’t die.”
“When humans move as civilizations to stay somewhere, we always take our agriculture with us,” Ferl said. “The idea of bringing lunar soil into a lunar greenhouse is the stuff of exploration dreams.”

There’s a plenty of room to dance as the spirit moves you, and if you need refreshments, there’s a bar on both floors. The Depot also rents out rooms for social gatherings, parties, and events, including areas with an elevated view into downtown Salt Lake City, perfect for hosting VIP-style private dinners. The Depot also manages the 7,225-square-foot Grand Hall, which was once the main room of the train station. | https://www.afar.com/places/the-depot-salt-lake-city | 2022-05-12T15:58:07Z | https://www.afar.com/places/the-depot-salt-lake-city | false | null |
One of America’s best genre-blenders has returned as singer-songwriter Bartees Strange has released the third preview single of his upcoming album Farm to Table with the emotionally resonant ‘Hold the Line’.
For his most recent track, Strange found inspiration in one of America’s most fraught moments in recent memory: the death of George Floyd. Specifically, Strange keyed into the unimaginable growth that Floyd’s daughter Gianna had to do on a public stage as the world looked to her for answers and insight, the likes of which should never burden a seven-year-old.
“I remember watching George Floyd’s daughter talk about the death of her father and thinking, ‘Wow – what a sad introduction to Black American life for this young person,'” Strange explains in a statement. “It was painful to watch her grow up in that moment like all Black kids eventually do.”
“‘Hold the Line’ was written over the course of three days during that first pandemic summer. Through this song, I was trying to make sense of what was happening in the US, my neighbourhood and my community at that moment. During the marches people were trying to stop the bleeding, locked arm in arm, doing everything they could to hold the line.”
To give the song its proper impact, Strange has elected to dive into yet another genre: alternative country. Let me say this though: calling this song “country” is just as wrong as calling his previous single ‘Cosigns’ “electronica” or the album’s first single ‘Heavy Heart’ “indie rock” – it gives you a halfway-decent initial idea of what you’re getting into, but it ultimately comes up woefully short of properly describing the music.
Still, with a soaring slide guitar solo and a slow-moving pace, Strange isn’t far from Drive-By Truckers or the various bands of Jason Molina on ‘Hold The Line’. It’s a good sound for Strange, who underplays the vocal with a real sense of fragility and helplessness that elevates lines like, “You’ve taken something of mine/You’re reaching for more than my life.” It’s the kind of song that would suffer from any bombast, so Strange strips it back to its most essential elements.
‘Hold The Line’ isn’t a message song, at least not in the sense that it beats you over the head with an obvious call to arms. Instead, it’s a reflection on loss and heartbreak and time being so fleeting that you don’t actually know how powerful it is until it’s forcibly ripped from you. That’s not a message coming from a soapbox – it’s a message coming from a place of personal confusion and resolves. It doesn’t seem right or fair to expect that kind of hardened determination from a young child, so Strange tries to shoulder that burden, if only in some small way.
Check out the audio for ‘Hold The Line’ down below. Farm to Table is set for a June 17th release. | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bartees-strange-new-song-hold-the-line/ | 2022-05-12T15:58:07Z | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bartees-strange-new-song-hold-the-line/ | false | 1 |
Plants have been grown in soil from the moon for the first time.
Plants have been grown in soil from the moon for the first time.
The milestone in lunar and space exploration is a first step towards one day growing plants for food and oxygen on the moon or during space missions.
In the new study University of Florida researchers showed the arabidopsis plant – thale cress – can successfully sprout and grow in soil that was collected from the Apollo 11, 12 and 17 missions.
Their study also investigated how plants respond biologically to the moon’s soil, also known as lunar regolith, which is radically different from soil found on Earth.
The research comes as the Artemis Program plans to return humans to the moon.
Rob Ferl, one of the study’s authors and a professor of horticultural sciences in the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), said: “Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction of being able to establish ourselves in lunar colonies.”
He added that it was also important to show that lunar soils were not harmful to terrestrial life, and also that terrestrial life could establish itself.
But what do the findings mean in relation to growing food fit for human consumption on the moon?
Anna-Lisa Paul, one of the study’s authors and a research professor of horticultural sciences in UF/IFAS, explained: “So the plants that were responding the most strongly to what we would call oxidative stress responses, those are the ones especially in the Apollo 11 samples, they are the ones that turned purple.
“And that’s the same thing that’s in blueberries and cranberries, and all of those, those dark red and purple fruits that are healthy for humans because of their anti-oxidative properties.
“We definitely don’t know the nutritive value of these plants, but it is likely not to pose any threat to humans – it’s hard to say, but it’s more likely that the chemicals that plants produce in response to stresses are ones that also help human stresses as well.
“So it’s likely to be a more benign or helpful response than the other way around.”
Dr Paul added that while arabidopsis is edible, it is not tasty.
It belongs to the same family as mustard, cauliflower and broccoli, so many of the things learned could translate into the same kind of metabolic strategies and processes “that our good friend broccoli uses”, Dr Paul said.
The researchers set about planting seeds in lunar soil, adding water, nutrients and light, and analysing the growth and results.
But because of the rare nature of the samples, the scientists had just 12 grams – just under three teaspoons – of soil from the moon to work with.
On loan from Nasa, they had applied three times over the course of 11 years for a chance to work with the soil.
And 18 months ago, they were given the samples.
Before then, the samples had been kept in pristine condition so other analysis could be carried out, and releasing them for plant growth experiments would have seen them become unsuitable for other research.
The upcoming Artemis mission will require a better understanding of how to grow plants in space, and so the experiment became more immediately relevant.
The researchers used thimble-sized wells in plastic plates normally used to culture cells, and once each was filled with roughly one gram of lunar soil, it was moistened with a nutrient solution and added a few seeds from the arabidopsis plant.
The plant is well documented in scientific research and its genetic code has been fully mapped.
In order to conduct comparisons, seeds were also planted in soil from Earth that mimics real lunar soil, as well as simulated Martian soils and terrestrial soils from extreme environments.
The researchers were surprised to see that all of the seeds planted in the lunar soils sprouted.
However, just because the plants all grew, this does not mean they did so as normal.
Some of those grown in the lunar soils were smaller, were different colours, grew more slowly or were more varied in size than their counterparts.
These were all physical signs that the plants were working to cope with the chemical and structural make-up of the moon’s soil which has lots of tiny glass fragments containing gases and even metallic irons.
According to the scientists, how plants respond to lunar soil may be linked to where the soil was collected.
For instance, the researchers found that the plants with the most signs of stress were those grown in what lunar geologists call mature lunar soil.
Dr Ferl said: “It’s really good news that plants can grow in the lunar soils.
“This presents to lunar colonists, to lunar scientists, a bunch more options than if they simply failed to grow there.
“But the bottom line is that until it was actually done, nobody knew whether plants, especially plant roots, would be able to interact with the very sharp antagonistic soils the lunar regolith presents.”
Stephen Elardo, an assistant professor of geology at UF, also collaborated on the study published in the Communications Biology journal.

Russia has suspended shipments of natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria
U.S. butter stocks grew in March but remained well below a year ago. The Agriculture Department’s latest Cold Storage report shows the March 31 inventory at 283.1 million pounds, up 20.1 million pounds or 7.6% from February but were a hefty 72.7 million pounds or 20.4% below those a year ago, the sixth consecutive month butter stocks were below the previous year.
American type cheese stocks fell to 822.2 million pounds, down nine million pounds or 1.1% from the February level, which was revised down 2.3 million pounds, and were down 12.2 million or 1.5% below a year ago.
The “other” category inched up to 612.8 million pounds, up just 2.2 million or 0.4% from February, but were 900,000 pounds or 0.1% above a year ago.
The total cheese inventory stood at 1.458 billion pounds, down 8.9 million pounds or 0.6% from February, but 10.9 million or 0.7% above a year ago.
Dairy prices were mixed the last week of April. The Cheddar blocks closed Friday at $2.37 per pound, down 2.25 cents on the week, ending five consecutive weeks of gain, but 7.50 cents above where they were on April 1, and fifty seven cents above a year ago
The barrels finished the month at $2.34, three cents lower on the week but 8.75 cents above their April 1 perch, 50.50 cents above a year ago, and three cents below the blocks.
Sales totaled three cars of block for the week and thirty three for the month of April, down from thirty eight in March. Barrel sales totaled twelve for the week and seventy five for the month, down from one hundred and eight in March.
Milk is readily available for cheese production in the Midwest, according to Dairy Market News, but staffing shorthandedness is keeping a lid on output in some plants, which pushes more milk to others. Cheddar inventories are balanced to available, while other varietal cheesemakers say their stores are balanced to tight. Demand notes are and have been strong, says DMN.
Strong demand for cheese is present in both western domestic and international markets, though previously mentioned Asian buying slipped lower this week. Like a broken record, port congestion and the shortage of truck drivers continues to cause delays to cheese deliveries throughout the region. Inventories are growing. Milk is available, allowing plants to run busy schedules but ongoing labor shortages and delayed deliveries of supplies are keeping output below capacity.
Cash butter fell to $2.6150 per pound Wednesday, lowest CME price since February 25, but reversed direction Thursday, first gain in six sessions and closed Friday at $2.6750, up 7.50 cents on the week, 3.50 cents lower on the month, but still 92.25 cents above a year ago. There were nine loads of butter sold on the week and fifty seven for the month, down from ninety nine in March.
Cream is reportedly available for butter producers both within the Central region and from the West, according to DMN. Bulk butter remains tight and at a premium. Contacts have mixed views regarding late summer and fall inventories. Domestic demand is steadily hearty week over week and global inquiries are not expected to ebb in the near-term so many expect butter stores to be short. And, while market prices have fallen, marketers do not view the big picture as bearish, says DMN. “Globally short milkfat, continued domestic food service strengths and worker-supply chain shortages at the plant level are inimical to bears.”
Cream inventories are steadily available in the West. Contacts report that demand is steady from purchasers in other regions. Regional ice cream makers continue to purchase loads of cream. Demand for butter is steady to lower in both food service and retail markets and the higher prices caused some retail customers to start utilizing alternatives to butter. Butter makers in the region say they are running busy schedules to meet current demand and to build inventory, but labor shortages and delayed deliveries of supplies continues to keep plants from running at capacity, according to DMN.
Grade A nonfat dry milk fell to $1.7075 per pound Tuesday, lowest since January 6, but it rallied Wednesday, first gain in eight sessions, and closed Friday at $1.7550, unchanged on the week, 9.50 cents lower on the month, but forty three cents above a year ago. There were eight sales on the week and fifty five for the month, down from eighty two a month ago.
StoneX points out that Russia has suspended shipments of natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria as they are not being paid in Rubles. “This was a new requirement imposed by Russia to bolster their currency,” says StoneX, “but many countries have been unwilling or unable to pay this way. From a dairy perspective this is calling into question the ability to produce skim milk powder in certain parts of Europe.” The result of this development, remains to be seen.
The whey fell to 57.50 cents per pound Tuesday, lowest since September 27, 2021, but regained three cents Friday to close at 60.50 cents per pound, down three cents on the week, a half-cent below its April 1 post, and 5.50 cents below a year ago. There were ten sales on the week and thirty three for the month, up from nineteen in March.
Sentiment was mixed at this week’s annual conference of the American Dairy Products Institute and American Butter Institute, according to StoneX Dairy staff, underscored by tremendous supply chain issues that have not abated.
“On the slightly bearish side there seems to be some evidence that buyers are willing to push out delivery times perhaps indicating they have built up enough extra inventory for now. On bullish side, milk is still snug. Normally this is the meeting we hear all about too much milk. We didn’t hear that this time. While processors seem to have enough milk, the lack of abundance here in mid-April has some concerned what fresh milk supplies will look like come July or August.”
Speaking in the May 2 Dairy Radio Now broadcast, Matt Gould, analyst and editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst newsletter, said there was a lot of optimism about exports at the conference, with many deals being made there, but on the other hand, there was pessimism regarding China’s lockdowns.
He reported that there are about five hundred ships anchored off the coast, waiting to unload in China and those ships have about a fifth of the world’s shipping containers on them, which has worsened the container shortage in the rest of the globe. He said it will take two months to clear, once China ends the lockdowns.
Meanwhile, Gould’s April 22 issue reported on the concern over eight dollars per bushel corn that dairy farmers face and stated, “At current feed prices, we estimate the average cost of production in the second quarter is above twenty three dollars per cwt. for farmers that are purchasing feed.”
When asked about it, Gould warned that a corn price that high means “We can’t stomach much of a decrease in dairy product prices and resulting milk prices because it won’t take much to fall below that level. That’s a really high number.”
Gould believes Chinese dairy imports will continue to lag below year ago levels through second quarter, due to the coronavirus lockdowns, the biggest occurring in Shanghai, but new cases are being seen in Beijing.
The good news, according to the Analyst, is that “Chinese dairy consumption surged since the pandemic. Consumption of dairy set a new high and increased by twelve percent last year to 42.3 kilograms per person, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. That increase is massive. It works out to about fifteen billion pounds of milk or the output of more than 600,000 cows,” wrote Gould.
One Chinese import that is growing is corn in the 2021 and 2022 marketing year. StoneX reported that “An April 22 sale added seven hundred and thirty five thousand tons (twenty nine million bushels) of old-crop to bring cumulative sales to 14.2 million tons (five hundred and fifty nine mbu) through almost two-thirds of the marketing year. That number had hit its roughly twenty three MMT top at this point last season. China already has another 1.5 plus MMT of U.S. corn purchased for 2022 and 2023 as well, after a six hundred and twelve thousand buy on April 22.”
The dairy industry awaits the first Global Dairy trade auction of May on May 3. Meanwhile we got a look at New Zealand dairy exports for March.
Whole milk powder shipments fell again, down 17.4% from a year ago, as China pulled back purchases. Skim milk powder exports were up 30.2%, a sixteen month high, according to HighGround Dairy. Volume to China was down however there was strength noted into Southeast Asia as well as the Middle East and North Africa.
Cheese exports were up six percent, and reached an all-time high, says HGD, even as volume dropped into China, the number one destination. There was a strong increase into Japan, up fifty five percent from 2021. Butter exports were up 19.1%.
One thing is sure. There are plenty of headwinds to deal with, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, inflationary prices particularly in food and fuel, strange repeated occurrences of destruction at food processing facilities around the country, and the newest addition, is a slowdown in U.S. trucking.
Add higher hay prices to the corn and soybeans. The April 28 Daily Dairy Report says “Drought, minimal hay stocks, and low hay acreage are coming together to push hay prices to all-time highs in key dairy states. Farmers are expected to harvest 50.3 million acres this year, lowest since 1907. For perspective, the DDR says “1907 was just fifteen years after Iowan John Froelich invented the tractor.”
The Agriculture Department’s latest Crop Progress report shows seven percent of the U.S. corn crop has been planted, as of the week ending April 24, up from five percent the previous week but nine percent behind a year ago and 8% behind the most recent five year average. The report shows three percent of the soybeans are in the ground, four percent behind a year ago and two percent behind the five year average.
In the week ending April 16, 54,800 dairy cows were sent to slaughter, down 6,100 head from the previous week and 5,600 or 9.3% below a year ago.
Checking the rear view mirror, the USDA’s 2020 Dairy Products Summary showed total cheese production at 13.3 billion pounds, up just 0.9% from 2019. Wisconsin remained the leading state with 1.06 billion pounds or 25.6% of U.S. production. Idaho was second, with 623.1 million pounds, followed by Minnesota at 608.3 million, and California with 581.1 million pounds. Wisconsin had five additional plants on line in 2020 and California added three.
Italian varieties totaled 5.63 billion pounds, down 0.8% from 2019 production and accounted for 42.4% of total cheese output in 2020. Mozzarella accounted for 79.1% of Italian production followed by Parmesan with 7.4% and Provolone at 6.5%. Wisconsin was the leading state in Italian cheese with 29.3%.
American type cheese hit 5.34 billion pounds, two percent above 2019 and accounted for 40.3% U.S. cheese. Wisconsin was the leading State in American output with 19.9%.
Butter production totaled 2.15 billion pounds, 7.6% above 2019. California was the leading state with 31.1% of the production.
Nonfat dry milk for human consumption amounted to 1.99 billion pounds, up 7.6%. Skim milk powders, at 695 million pounds, were up 21.4%, and dry whey totaled 951 million pounds, down 2.7%.
Milk production trends are increasing in most areas around the country, according to Dairy Market News. The exception is in the Southwest, namely Arizona, where warm spring weather is keeping milk output down year over year. Class I fluid milk demand reports are mixed throughout the country. Firm interests in the Northeast are being offset by slowdowns in the South. A number of contacts say Class I demand is unchanged. Soon to be school closings will change that data.
Cheesemakers are clearing discounted loads of spot milk in the Midwest, ranging from $2.50 to $1.50 under Class. Condensed skim availability remains similar, but hauling/processing continues to burden milk handlers and plant managers.
The Consortium for Common Food Names (CCFN), U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) and National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) had praise this week for the U.S. Trade Representative.
A joint press release praised the “prioritization in this year’s Special 301 report of the importance of preserving U.S. food and beverage producers’ market access rights in the face of persistent efforts by the European Union (EU) to misuse geographical indications (GIs) and create non-tariff barriers to trade in markets around the world.”
The report follows detailed comments on the global scale of various common name threats submitted in January by CCFN and supported by USDEC and NMPF.
“The report outlines global challenges on intellectual property issues,” according to the press release, “and describes in detail the European Union’s (EU) campaign to eliminate competition by restricting the use of common food and beverage terms, such as ‘parmesan,’ ‘bologna’ and ‘chateau.”
“The EU’s strategy, active in numerous countries around the world, erects unfair barriers to trade that negatively impact non-EU exporters relying on common food names, as illustrated by USTR’s report which noted, ‘As part of its trade agreement negotiations, the EU pressures trading partners to prevent any producer, except from those in certain EU regions, from using certain product names, such as fontina, gorgonzola, parmesan, asiago, or feta. This is despite the fact that these terms are the common names for products produced in countries around the world,” the joint release stated.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Fairfax County officials have rebuffed a request from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to establish a security perimeter around the neighborhoods of U.S. Supreme Court justices living in the county after some have faced protests outside their homes.
Youngkin, a Republican, made the request Wednesday in a letter to the county board of supervisors. “I fundamentally believe such demonstrations and picketing should not be allowed at the Justice's (sic) homes as they are meant to intimidate and influence the Justices,” he wrote.
Three Supreme Court justices — Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas — live in the county. Justices living in and outside the county have been confronted with protests outside their homes since a draft of Alito's opinion that would overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision was leaked.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay said Youngkin's request for a security perimeter is unnecessary and improper. He said establishing a perimeter would amount to creating an unconstitutional neighborhood “checkpoint” that would infringe on First Amendment protest rights. He also noted that protests that have occurred outside Alito's home in the Fort Hunt neighborhood have been peaceful.
“We will enforce laws that serve to protect persons and property,” McKay wrote. “Our officers are equally committed to protecting the First Amendment guarantees afforded to those who gather to exercise their freedom of speech.”
Fairfax County Police, for their part, said through a spokeswoman that they’re providing extra staffing in response to reports of planned protests “to maintain the safety and security of the public, while ensuring First Amendment rights are protected.”
Youngkin also joined Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan in calling on federal law enforcement entities to “take the lead and provide sustained resources” to protect the justices and ensure the neighborhoods are secure in the weeks and months ahead.
In a letter addressed to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the governors called on the Department of Justice to enforce a federal law that prohibits “pickets or parades” with the intent to influence a judge.
Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said in a statement Wednesday that Garland continues to be briefed on security matters related to the Supreme Court and justices. He noted that Garland had directed the U.S. Marshals Service to help support the Marshal of the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Police. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/County-governor-spar-over-protests-at-justices-17167970.php | 2022-05-12T16:04:37Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/County-governor-spar-over-protests-at-justices-17167970.php | true | 37 |

LEILA FADEL, HOST:
Protesters are marching across the United States after a leak suggests the Supreme Court plans to reverse the constitutional right to abortion for the first time in half a century.
A MARTINEZ, HOST:
President Biden says that this decision, if it holds, would be a radical change that could impact a whole range of private matters.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Does this mean that in Florida, they can decide they're going to pass a law saying that same-sex marriage is not permissible? It's against the law in Florida?
FADEL: For more on what overturning Roe v. Wade could mean for American politics, we're joined by NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson. Hi, Mara.
MARA LIASSON, BYLINE: Hi there.
FADEL: So, Mara, President Biden and other Democratic leaders are vowing to make abortion rights a central issue in the midterm elections this fall. So what's their plan? And will this bring more Democrats to the ballot box?
LIASSON: That's the big question. Their solution is to try to motivate voters to elect more Democrats. We don't know yet if abortion rights are going to be more motivating for Democratic voters than issues like immigration, inflation and crime are for Republicans and independent voters. In the past, abortion rights has always been a bigger motivator for conservatives than for liberals. The question now is, is this potential ruling a tipping point? In the short term, in Washington, there's not a lot Democrats can do to secure abortion rights. Nationally, they don't have the votes to pass something in the Senate that would codify Roe. Even though Republican Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski would presumably support that, there aren't enough votes to break the filibuster.
FADEL: Now, just yesterday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, modeled after a similar Texas law. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, it would leave abortion decisions up to the states. So let's talk about other restrictions we could see.
LIASSON: I think that you will see more legislating in conservative states. Some legislators have talked about criminalizing abortion, making it a crime to take a woman across state lines to get an abortion. Some activists on the right have talked about passing national abortion restrictions if Republicans gain control of Congress. But other conservatives are cautious and are waiting for the court to rule.
FADEL: Now, clearly, Republicans and Democrats are reacting very differently to this news. Could you break that down for us?
LIASSON: Yes. On the Democratic side, President Biden, as you heard him in that clip, are warning that the rationale behind this opinion can be used to roll back other rights that are enshrined by the courts that rely on a constitutional right to privacy, like contraception or same-sex marriage. Republicans, on the other hand, have been - at least in Washington, have been very focused on the leak, not the policy. The National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a memo to its members that was very defensive and encouraged them to be the compassionate consensus-builders on abortion policies and to stress that Republicans do not want to take away contraception or to put doctors or women in jail. It was almost as if they were very aware of public opinion on this and the fact that they haven't won the battle for hearts and minds because polls have consistently shown that public opinion is solidly behind upholding Roe. More than 50% support it, and less than 30% support overturning it.
FADEL: So if the court goes through with this decision, what does it mean for U.S. politics in the long run?
LIASSON: Well, we don't know that, but we do know that it's going to spark this bigger debate that we've been having about whether the United States is turning into a minority-rule country. A majority of the justices on the court were appointed by presidents who didn't get a majority of the popular vote, and in some cases, the conservative justices were confirmed by senators representing a minority of voters.
FADEL: OK.
LIASSON: So I think you're going to hear a lot of talk about that, whether the structure of the Senate and the Electoral College and extreme gerrymandering is leading to minority rule in this country. And we'll find out if voters are comfortable with that.
FADEL: NPR's Mara Liasson. Thanks, Mara.
LIASSON: Thank you.

FADEL: Ohio's Senate race is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched elections in the country, as Democrats are hoping to drive more people to the polls.
MARTINEZ: Yeah, Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan won the state's Democratic U.S. Senate primary, setting up a battle against Republican nominee J.D. Vance, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Here he is addressing supporters after his victory.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
J D VANCE: They wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of Donald Trump's America-first agenda. Ladies and gentlemen, it ain't the death of the America-first agenda.
(CHEERING)
MARTINEZ: This is already the most expensive race in Ohio's history.
FADEL: With us now is NPR's national political correspondent Don Gonyea in Cincinnati, where he's been covering the race. Good morning.
DON GONYEA, BYLINE: Good morning.
FADEL: So, Don, how did J.D. Vance emerge on top of a crowded field of Republican candidates, each vying to be more pro-Trump than the other?
GONYEA: Yeah, the GOP primary was just a slugfest, a race full of personal attacks. But you have to give credit to the fact that Vance ultimately got that Trump endorsement. It's something that seemed unlikely early on, given Vance's very strong criticisms of Trump back in 2016. But he became a major fan of Trump's over the years. And by the time he entered this race, he was really all in, and Trump gave him his blessing. Here's Vance with supporters last night.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
VANCE: I have absolutely got to thank the 45th, the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, ladies and gentlemen.
(CHEERING)
VANCE: One forgiveness example of what could be in this country, ladies and gentlemen. Remember 2019, when wages were going up and not down? Remember 2019, when workers were doing well in this country, not struggling terribly? Thanks to the president for everything.
GONYEA: So look for Trump to be very much front and center in the fall campaign.
FADEL: OK, so let's talk about the Democrats. What's next for Tim Ryan? He's seen as a moderate congressman.
GONYEA: Ryan has essentially been running his general election race for many months now. He boasts of going to all 88 counties, including the deepest red, most hardcore Trump counties, in the state. He says he wants to listen to everybody, but he also wants people to see him and hear him, and he talks about bringing Ohio back as a leader in manufacturing. Again, the economy took up a chunk of his victory speech last night.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
TIM RYAN: I want us to be builders again. I want us to dominate the electric car industry. I want us to dominate the battery industry. I want us to dominate the electric truck industry. I want us to dominate the chip industry, glass industry, energy in southeast Ohio, aerospace in southwest Ohio. I want us to be the manufacturing powerhouse of the world.
FADEL: Now, Ohio was previously a major swing state and a bellwether for the presidential pick, but it's made a shift to the right, and Trump easily won the state in 2016 and 2020. What does that mean for this race?
GONYEA: It means it's something Ryan has to overcome. Again, Trump won the state big twice. And this, you know, economic uncertainty we're looking at now doesn't help Ryan at all. Vance last night accused him of trying to be a Trump Democrat. He's got a lot to overcome. But people do expect it to be a race.
FADEL: NPR's Don Gonyea. Thanks, Don.
GONYEA: Thank you.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
FADEL: The U.S. has already banned oil imports from Russia. Now Europe is thinking about doing the same. The European Union proposed today a plan to phase out Russian crude oil. It's an attempt to put economic pressure on Russia, which continues to attack Ukraine as far west as Lviv, near the Polish border.
MARTINEZ: And Russian shelling continues in the port city of Mariupol. Ukrainian officials are hoping to get more people out of the ruins of the Azovstal steel plant in the city. Hundreds of civilians and Ukrainian fighters are still holed up in bunkers and tunnels underneath the plant. The soldiers are the last holdouts in a city Russian forces have reduced to rubble. Roughly a hundred evacuees have now arrived in the city of Zaporizhzhia.
FADEL: And that's where NPR's Joanna Kakissis is. Hi, Joanna.
JOANNA KAKISSIS, BYLINE: Hi, Leila.
FADEL: So, Joanna, you're in Zaporizhzhia. You watched evacuees arrive after weeks of living under bombardment, living underground. How are they?
KAKISSIS: Yeah, the people who were inside that plant walked off those buses looking very pale, looking totally exhausted. I remember this little boy with curly brown hair and freckles. His name is Vova (ph). I was with his friend Sasha (ph), who was waiting for him. They'd grown up together in Mariupol, and Sasha said Vova, you know, was so much fun and had so much energy. But, you know, when he saw Vova, you know, get off that bus looking so exhausted and so sad, you know, Sasha just started crying. He ran to Vova, and he hugged them, and he said, it's going to be OK. Vova and the others were evacuated by the U.N. and the Red Cross. It was a very tricky evacuation. It involved a cease-fire that only held for a couple of days and lots of checkpoints. The U.N. said that some people chose to stay behind in Mariupol after getting out of the plant. They wanted to try to find their family members and even though the U.N. warned them that this would be very, very dangerous.
FADEL: Now, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator who helped get them out says for many, it was their first chance to, quote, "see daylight" after two months. I just can't imagine that. What did people tell you it was like?
KAKISSIS: Yeah, it was extremely bad. People told me it was like living through a horror movie or the apocalypse. You know, aside from food and water shortages and shortages of things like medicine and hygienic products, you know, there's the bombing and the shelling. Everyone I spoke to, they talked about entire rooms shaking and bricks coming loose and falling on families huddled together. I spoke with Anna Krilova and her 14-year-old daughter Maya, who - they lived through all this, and Anna gave this description.
ANNA KRILOVA: (Through interpreter) It was really scary because we couldn't go outside. It was just too dangerous. And inside, we kept going from shelter to shelter because the bombs kept hitting. We were hungry. We were scared. We were under constant shelling.
FADEL: So it feels strange to say this after listening to that, but these are the lucky ones. These are the ones that got out. Humanitarian corridors in the past fell apart under bombardment, and there are still people stuck under that plant. How confident are Ukrainian officials and the U.N. that they can get them out?
KAKISSIS: Yeah, so Ukrainian officials say they are going to push really hard to get everyone out. They're going to do everything they can. And the U.N. says they're already planning a mission to do so. But again, you know, this is very, very complicated. Russians are - once - the Russian troops are once again hitting the plant really, really hard. And so Russia doesn't appear to be showing any signs of a spirit of a cease-fire here.
FADEL: NPR's Joanna Kakissis in Zaporizhzhia. Thank you, Joanna.
KAKISSIS: You're welcome, Leila.

Spencer Hathaway to run for NSB mayor; current mayor Russ Owen won’t seek re-election
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Just days after Mayor Russ Owen announced he will not seek a third term, one New Smyrna Beach resident has already thrown his hat in the race.
On Monday, Spencer Hathaway, 34 and managing assistant state attorney at the State Attorney's Office, announced his run on his Facebook page .
“New Smyrna is worth fighting for,” Hathaway wrote. “For my kids, my family and my friends, I am truly proud and honored to enter the race of Mayor of New Smyrna Beach.”
NSB Airport: Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the NSB airport is set to receive a fuel-capacity upgrade
Former mayor: Family, colleagues pay tribute to late New Smyrna Beach Mayor James Vandergrifft
Affordable Housing: Greenlawn Manor: New Smyrna Beach affordable senior housing project underway
In an interview on Monday, Hathaway said he is a supporter of Owen and that he only decided to run when he heard over the weekend that the current mayor would not seek re-election.
“I love New Smyrna Beach — I love everything about it,” Hathaway said. “I had my two children here, I chose to raise my family here. I love (the city’s) rich history, its natural resources, its inviting downtown restaurants and nightlife, its embracing of the arts.”
He added: “When an opportunity to serve the community that I grew up in and love so dearly presented itself, I knew it was time to stand up.”
Hathaway’s connection to the coastal town dates back many generations.
Hathaway is the son of former New Smyrna Beach mayor James Hathaway, who served from 2014 until 2018. The former mayor was first elected to the City Commission in 1994.
Hathaway’s grandfather, William Hathaway, also served as the city’s mayor in 1960s.
“I am extremely proud of my family’s legacy of leadership and public service,” he said. “I was brought up to believe that to who much is given, much is expected. The city has done so much for me that it is time to do something for her.”
Hathaway said he grew up in a local politics environment. He remembers campaigning alongside his father and sitting through City Commission meetings at a young age.
“I absolutely adore local government and what it can do for improving people’s lives,” Hathaway said.
Hathaway has been in his current post at the State Attorney’s Office since November 2017. He also served as assistant state attorney from 2012 until February 2017.
He said he plans to continue his work with the State Attorney’s Office if he is elected in November.
“It’s going to interfere with my personal time, not with my day job,” Hathaway said. “I’m giving up all of my personal time for this, but having grown up and seeing what value can come out of that, it’s a sacrifice well worth it.”
Hathaway attended Chisholm Elementary, New Smyrna Beach Middle School and New Smyrna Beach High School. He graduated from Flagler College with honors with a major degree in political science, a minor in history and a focus on pre-law. He earned his juris doctor from Stetson University College of Law. He is a member of the Florida Bar.
He said that, if elected, one of his main focuses will be on bringing a balanced approach to resolving issues impacting the city, such as growth and development.
“I believe the saying that ‘every challenge is an opportunity’ rings true in New Smyrna,” he said. “Growth is one we can manage smartly, there is balance that can be brought to the table. We can protect property rights and the quality of life that we’ve come to expect here, and we can do it with everybody having a seat at the table.”
Russell departs 'proud to have served our city'
As Hathaway plans his campaign and waits to see who he may face in the election, the city’s current mayor decided this will be his last year in office. He made the announcement on the local WSBB-AM radio station and then on the radio show Good Day Daytona with Trei Johnson on WNDB-FM Friday.
“I’m very proud to have served our city,” Owen said in an interview on Monday. “And I’m proud of what our city represents, what we have accomplished over the last four years thanks to the hard work of our staff and the support of our fellow commissioners.”
He said that the next mayor and the city will have “a lot of opportunities” in the future, some of which will come in the form of “challenges.”
“We’re going to have to continue to respond to the changing dynamic of Central Florida, because we have built an amazing place where people want to visit or live,” he said. “And that is a good problem to have.”
The mayor said it was time for him to take the time to focus on his family for “a while.”
“This isn’t the end. It’s just the start of a new chapter for me,” Owen said. “I will continue to be engaged and involved in my community, and I have all the confidence in the world that the voters of New Smyrna Beach will thoroughly vet candidates and select some great people to serve our city.”
Owen was first elected mayor in 2018 and later re-elected in 2020.
“I have decided that I want to have a new business that I’m starting,” he said. “I also have plans for a couple other businesses that I want to start. I have sacrificed tremendously over the past four years both professionally and personally to give this time back to my city."
In addition to the mayoral race, New Smyrna Beach voters will also choose new Zone 1 and Zone 2 city commissioners. Election Day is Nov. 8.

In the U.S., more than 6,000 new medical devices are approved by the FDA and released every year. As a surgeon, you may not want to stay on top of this, but fear ye not, your helpful neighborhood medical equipment sales team is there to help explain why you need (on average) 16 new toys every day. If it sounds frustrating as a salesperson, well, that’s what AcuityMD is here to resolve; to find opportunities for your sales process.
Since announcing its seed raise in May of 2021, AcuityMD claims that medtech hardware companies have identified more than 40,000 new opportunities using its software, which translates to over $2 billion worth of leads added to the sales pipeline.
“We wanted these big things out of our healthcare system, like value-based healthcare or personalized medicine,” explains AcuityMD’s founder and CEO Mike Monovoukas. “Instead we got 140 instruments in a surgical tray. That’s how much product complexity there is in this space.”
It isn’t immediately clear to me how creating a software platform that helps sales reps make more medical device sales helps the problem of 140 instruments on a surgical tray, but perhaps that’s just me.
The company raised $31 million in Series A funding led by Redpoint Venture Partners, with support from Benchmark. The latter led AcuityMD’s $7 million seed round.
“We launched Tactoset in 2019, a key regenerative technology for Anika in a $100 million+ addressable market. While we’ve been able to capture meaningful market share in a short period of time, we wanted to find a tool to help us further unlock the full commercial potential. What we needed was analytics, information and procedural insights — AcuityMD was a game changer,” says Ben Joseph, VP of Commercial and Corporate Development, Anika. “They provided us with a detailed and specific roadmap for prioritizing our selling efforts, including a plan targeting over 500 surgeons across various clinical call points, which resulted in a robust target pipeline. While we started using AcuityMD with one product line, we’ve now expanded our engagement to include our full joint preservation portfolio.”
“[Our customers are] trying to sell and educate surgeons about which products to use in which settings. It is a very white-glove sort of hands-on sale, and they’re really good at educating and training surgeons on the latest technologies for their procedures. That’s the salesperson’s job, and they should be spending all their time helping in the field, helping surgeons learn about new technologies and get them trained and comfortable using those new technologies. Instead, because of the current landscape of software systems that the sales reps rely on, they spend their days in their office logging notes into a CRM,” explains Monovoukas, highlighting the company’s value proposition. “We’re taking valuable time where a sales rep could be educating a surgeon about a new robot that they can use.”
With this company, Monovoukas, is scratching his own itch — he started his career as a medical device entrepreneur; his first foray into entrepreneurship. He learned quickly how hard it was to commercialize a new product in a highly regulated market.
“What if it was much easier to get new technology and products out to market? Could we unleash the power of innovation to help these smaller companies that have really innovative technologies get those products out to market quicker, faster and get feedback, so they can innovate and continue to produce?,” asks Monovoukas, describing the initial germ of the idea for AcuityMD. “Instead, what ends up happening is the only path that a small company has to get their products to market is to go and get acquired by a big incumbent enterprise. There’s a disconnect between innovation — which is really important for the U.S. healthcare space and globally — medical technology, innovation and how the products are actually commercialized. We’re trying to make it a lot easier for those innovative technologies to get out to market faster.”
“The medical device industry is worth nearly a half a trillion dollars, and yet somehow there is no intelligent, simple and modern tool to handle go-to-market components of the business,” explains Logan Bartlett, managing director, Redpoint Ventures, highlighting how AcuityMD was successful in raising its $31 million Series A. “AcuityMD is tackling this massive piece of the healthcare industry with a new kind of software that is already helping leaders in the space streamline sales and grow their businesses, which is why we’re thrilled to invest in the groundbreaking business and team.” | https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/12/acuitymd-series-a/ | 2022-05-12T16:12:11Z | https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/12/acuitymd-series-a/ | true | 3 |
Mattel debuts Barbie with hearing aids, Ken with vitiligo
(CNN) - For the first time, Barbie is wearing hearing aids.
On Wednesday, Mattel announced several new Barbie dolls that emphasize diversity and inclusion.
The new line-up includes a Barbie doll wearing a hot pink hearing aid, another doll with a prosthetic leg, and a Ken doll with vitiligo – a disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches.
A Ken doll with vitiligo is an addition to one of Barbie, which was released in 2020 to major success.
Mattel is also offering dolls without the stereotypical Barbie body type. That includes smaller chests and fuller figures, intended to be more representative of varied body types.
You can find the new Barbie dolls at Walmart, Target and on Amazon starting in June.

Syndesmosis Implant Systems Market To Go Blockchain Ways At A CAGR Of 8%
Posted on 2022-05-12 by Persistence MR in Healthcare, Human Resources, International Trade, Law, Management, Marketing, Media, Non Profit, Pharmaceuticals, Real Estate, Semiconductors, Small Business, Software, Sports, Telecommunications, Transportation & Logistics, Travel // 0 Comments
New York, United States, 2022-May-12 — /EPR Network/ —
The global Syndesmosis Implant Systems Market is all set to witness a CAGR of 8% in the next decade. It is expected to reach US$ 160 Mn by the year 2030. With digitized communication channels making a beeline to the healthcare vertical, the advanced clinics are into virtual consultation mode, and this scenario is expected to continue even going forward. Regulatory approvals for this type of communication are on the way. Close to 70% of the public hospitals worldwide are being asked to adopt digital means. This would be the scene with healthcare vertical in the subsequent period.
There are two types of techniques used in the fixation of syndesmosis implant systems. While screw fixation is one technique that has been used over the years, the suture button technique is now trending in the syndesmosis implant systems market. A number of research studies conducted in order to determine the use of suture button implants and screw implants indicate that suture button implants are more cost-effective as compared to screw implants. In addition, technological developments employed in suture button implants give them an edge over screw implants.
For example, the Anthrax Tightrope is a suture button implant that offers adjustable cortical fixation for cruciate ligament reconstruction. In addition, it is implanted through a minimally-invasive technique. As such, increasing adoption of suture button implants is leading the syndesmosis implant systems market toward significant growth by transforming the surgical fixation of syndesmosis.

Persistence Market Research predicts that the global syndesmosis implant systems market will exhibit an impressive 8% CAGR over the forecast period to reach a valuation of US$ 160 Mn by 2030.
Key Takeaways from Syndesmosis Implant Systems Market Study
- In terms of product, titanium-based plate implants hold a maximum share in the syndesmosis implant systems market due to their established position in this space.
- By application, ankle fractures dominate with more than 50% of market share and a CAGR of 8%. This is attributed to high incidence of ankle fractures across regions.
- In terms of end user, ambulatory surgical centers is the leading segment with a market share of 48.5%. This is due to the shift of orthopaedic surgeries from hospitals to ambulatory surgical centers, as a result of better patient satisfaction and improving patient outcomes.
- North America generated the highest revenue share of 41.2% and the syndesmosis implant systems market in the region will expand at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period, due to the presence of prominent players in this region. Europe is the 2nd-most lucrative regional market with a market share of 31.4%.
- The COVID-19 pandemic is having a negative impact on the global syndesmosis implant systems market. The outbreak has led to delaying of non-essential medical procedures, which, in turn, has reduced revenue generation of the syndesmosis implant systems market.
“Rising burden of foot & ankle fractures is expected to boost the growth of the syndesmosis implant systems market over the coming years,” says a PMR analyst.

Slice’s Bar & Grill, on Pennsylvania Avenue, near the old Oscar Mayer factory site, has a reputation for making one of the best bar burgers in town.
It’s well deserved, and the North Side bar has a sign on the wall showing that its meat is from Jenifer Street Market. That’s critical for customers who care about where their food comes from.
Slice’s cheeseburger is available in ½-pound and ¼-pound versions, and at a time when prices are going up in many places, the menu shows burger prices crossed out and reduced: from $8.25 to $7.25 for the ½-pounder and from $7 to $6 for the ¼-pounder.
When I came in for lunch on a recent Friday, owner James “Slice” Krause was grilling burgers behind the bar, calmly handling a steady stream of dine-in and takeout orders.
Krause later told me that early in the pandemic meat prices went up dramatically and he reprinted his menus to reflect that. Prices settled down, but didn’t come all the way back, he said. When they became more manageable, he lowered his burger prices.
Slice’s prices may go up again soon, Krause said. “Some of our stuff is going through the roof. Chicken is going nuts right now.”
The burger was quite good, but wasn’t my favorite. The meat was high quality, as advertised, and the toasted bun didn’t dominate, which I appreciated. I chose pepper jack cheese and it was applied thick enough so it didn’t disappear into the meat like it does on some cheeseburgers.
It came with leaf lettuce, a slice of red tomato and grilled onions. Customers can also order onions raw. A pickle spear came on the side and I cut it up and put it inside the bun along with ketchup and mustard.
The burger didn’t include a side, so I ordered the potato salad ($3), which Krause said is made by his girlfriend, Terra O’Brien. It’s good, but doesn’t taste homemade.
The chicken salad croissant ($5.75) was better, although I later learned the salad itself comes from a distributor. It’s a tad sweet, maybe from chopped sweet pickles. It had the right amount of mayo and the croissant was perfectly grilled.
As a side, I got a half order of french fries ($2.50), which were medium thick and unsalted. They come from a supplier and looked ordinary, but tasted fantastic.
The burrito pizza puff ($3) was the perfect snack. The menu accurately describes it as a “giant pillow of happiness.” Its golden, deep-fried flaky shell yielded to cheese, tomato sauce and ground sausage. It’s unclear why “burrito” is in the name and Krause said that’s just what it says on the box.
The chili ($3.75/$4.25) is referred to on the menu as “Slice’s secret recipe,” and the cup looked more like a bowl. Could it win a chili cook-off? No, but the flavor was fine. There were just too many beans for my taste.
A few weeks earlier, I showed up at Slice’s for its Friday fish fry, which also has some renown. Every seat was taken by 6 p.m., and my group didn’t want to wait, so we went elsewhere.
During my recent lunch I asked whether the fish fry was served then. The capable bartender who handled the lunch rush solo, said while the evening fish is beer battered (there’s also baked cod), what’s available by day is a four-piece order that comes to them battered. Krause said for the fish fry dinner he makes the batter himself.
Instead, for lunch, I tried to order the walleye fingers from the appetizer menu, but the bartender said they’re having trouble getting them. “I’m pretty sure we’ll never get them back,” Krause said. “They’ve been out for two years.”
Slice’s is also known for its goulash, which Krause makes every Thursday for his lunch special.
Krause has owned the place for 26 years, initially with Robert Bellamy when it was called Slice-N-Bullits.
Bellamy left in 2007, and Krause shortened the name to Slice’s. Before they owned their own place, Krause and Bellamy worked at the Caribou Tavern on East Johnson Street, where Bellamy was known as “Bullit.”
Krause, 53, was putting a knife back into its sheath, missed the sheath and the knife went through his hand, cutting some nerves. He was 22 then and didn’t go to the hospital, he said. He just taped it up.
“But every time somebody came in, it was, ‘What happened to your hand? What happened to your hand? What happened to your hand?’” he said. “One guy started calling me (Slice) and everybody else did.”
He said his hand healed in about two weeks, but he still can’t feel the side of one finger.
Krause works lunch Monday through Friday and cooks Sunday breakfast, but is training someone else for that shift, he said. His bartenders cook at dinner, except for on Fridays when he handles the fish fry.
While getting certain products during the pandemic has been “hit and miss” every week, Krause said business stayed steady. Bartenders lost hours when there was no drinking inside, but Slice’s did a lot of takeout.
“We had a lot of support,” he said. “We have a lot of loyal, old-time customers, so they took care of us.”

The 24-year-old tennis star Naomi Osaka is starting her own sports agency after six years with IMG, according to Sportico.
Osaka is partnering with her agent, Stuart Duguid, in the venture, named Evolve. Each will hold equity stakes in the company, said Sportico, which first reported the news Wednesday.
"I've spent my career doing things my way, even when people told me that it wasn't what was expected or traditional, Evolve is the natural next step in my journey as both an athlete and businesswoman," Osaka told Sportico.
Osaka, the highest-paid female athlete in the world, rose to prominence after defeating Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final in 2018. In the following year, she reigned victorious in the Australian Open. She went on to win the U.S. Open in 2020 and clinched a second Australian Open victory in 2021.
In 2021, many athletes rallied behind Osaka after she spoke up about mental health. That year, she said she wouldn't take part in a press conference, citing the mental toll that it can take on athletes — a decision that ultimately cost her a $15,000 fine. She later pulled out of the French Open.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Fairfax County officials have rebuffed a request from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to establish a security perimeter around the neighborhoods of U.S. Supreme Court justices living in the county after some have faced protests outside their homes.
Youngkin, a Republican, made the request Wednesday in a letter to the county board of supervisors. “I fundamentally believe such demonstrations and picketing should not be allowed at the Justice's (sic) homes as they are meant to intimidate and influence the Justices,” he wrote.
Three Supreme Court justices — Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas — live in the county. Justices living in and outside the county have been confronted with protests outside their homes since a draft of Alito's opinion that would overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision was leaked.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay said Youngkin's request for a security perimeter is unnecessary and improper. He said establishing a perimeter would amount to creating an unconstitutional neighborhood “checkpoint” that would infringe on First Amendment protest rights. He also noted that protests that have occurred outside Alito's home in the Fort Hunt neighborhood have been peaceful.
“We will enforce laws that serve to protect persons and property,” McKay wrote. “Our officers are equally committed to protecting the First Amendment guarantees afforded to those who gather to exercise their freedom of speech.”
Fairfax County Police, for their part, said through a spokeswoman that they’re providing extra staffing in response to reports of planned protests “to maintain the safety and security of the public, while ensuring First Amendment rights are protected.”
Youngkin also joined Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan in calling on federal law enforcement entities to “take the lead and provide sustained resources” to protect the justices and ensure the neighborhoods are secure in the weeks and months ahead.
In a letter addressed to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the governors called on the Department of Justice to enforce a federal law that prohibits “pickets or parades” with the intent to influence a judge.
Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said in a statement Wednesday that Garland continues to be briefed on security matters related to the Supreme Court and justices. He noted that Garland had directed the U.S. Marshals Service to help support the Marshal of the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Police. | https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2022/05/12/county-governor-spar-over-protests-at-justices-homes/ | 2022-05-12T16:19:26Z | https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2022/05/12/county-governor-spar-over-protests-at-justices-homes/ | true | 37 |

Ex SNP MP Natalie McGarry has been found guilty of embezzling funds from two pro-independence groups.
The verdict was delivered at Glasgow Sheriff Court today.
McGarry, 40, was accused of embezzling £21,000 while treasurer of Women for Independence between 2013 and 2015.
The ex-Glasgow East MP was also accused of taking £4,661 between April 9, 2014 and August 10, 2015 when she was treasurer, secretary and convener of the Glasgow Regional Association (GRA) of the SNP.
A jury found her guilty by majority of a charge in relation to WfI and also by majority as regards the GRA-related charge.
McGarry, of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, had denied both charges against her.
The six-week trial had heard evidence from several witnesses, including current and former Scottish health secretaries Humza Yousaf and Jeane Freeman.

Cover-up on Everest? China is accused of secretly REMOVING dead British mountaineer Sandy Irvine's body from world's highest peak – and hiding camera that could prove he climbed the mountain first with George Mallory in 1924
- Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine and George Mallory went missing during their 1924 expedition to climb Mount Everest
- In 1999, Mallory's body was found 2,000 feet from the summit, but Irvine's body was not discovered
- The Vest Pocket Kodak (VPK) camera that the two men were carrying was also nowhere to be found
- Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay are officially credited with being first to reach summit in 1953
- Author Mark Synnott reveals claims in new book that the Chinese may have found Irvine's body and camera
When the body of George Mallory was found clad in hobnail boots just 2,000 feet from the summit of Everest, historians raised the tantalising possibility that he may have been the first man to reach the top of the world's tallest mountain - 29 years before the first confirmed ascent.
But two crucial mysteries still remain unsolved after the 1999 discovery: what had happened to the body of his climbing partner Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine, and where was the Vest Pocket Kodak (VPK) camera they were said to be carrying that might contain crucial photographs proving the men had reached the top of Everest in their 1924 expedition?
With that evidence absent, Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay continue to be credited with being the first climbers to reach the top of the Himalayan mountain - which straddles Nepal and China - in their 1953 expedition.
If Mallory and Irvine did reach the top of Everest, they would also have been the first to successfully do it on the deadly North Face, nearly 40 years before Chinese climbers accomplished the feat in 1960.
However, author Mark Synnott, who was part of a 2019 expedition led by New Zealander Jamie McGuinness to try to solve the mystery reveals in a new book that the Chinese may have found Irvine's body and the camera, before burying the evidence.
George Mallory's 1924 expedition to reach the summit of Mount Everest resulted in his death, along with that of his climbing partner Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine (right). Whilst Mallory's body was found in 1999, Irvine's body - and the camera that the two men were carrying - has never been found
If Mallory and Irvine did reach the top of Everest, they would have been the first to successfully do it on the deadly North Face, nearly 40 years before Chinese climbers accomplished the feat in 1960. Above: Irvine (top left) and Mallory (top row, second from left), are pictured with the other members of the 1924 expedition to Everest
Synnott, said in The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession, and Death on Mount Everest that one of McGuinness's contacts told him he had 'heard directly' from an official of the China Tibet Mountaineering Association (CTMA) - the body that regulates ascents on China's side of the mountain - that Chinese climbers 'beat us' to where Irvine's body was.
The body was allegedly then taken off the mountain before taking it back to Lhasa, in Tibet, 'where it is kept under lock and key with other Mallory artefacts, including the VPK'.
Synnott said the information echoed rumours the 2019 team had heard earlier in the expedition, adding: 'We now have multiple sources all essentially saying the same thing: the Chinese found Irvine, removed the body, and are jealously guarding this information from the rest of the world – all to protect the claim that the 1960 Chinese team was the first to reach the summit...'
When they were last seen by their climbing teammate Noel Odell, Mallory and Irvine were around 800 feet from the summit of Everest.
But the men vanished soon afterwards and the facts about what happened to them remain unclear.
Mallory's body was found with a rope around its waist and injuries consistent with the possibility that he and Irvine might have fallen while being roped together.

In an article for Slate.com, Synnott also revealed that, a month after the publication of his book, he was contacted by a former US intelligence officer who had been told by a 'high-ranking official' in the British Embassy in China that the body of a climber was found during China's 1975 expedition to Everest's North Face.
According to the embassy source, Chinese climbers also found the long-lost Kodak camera, which they allegedly brought back to Beijing.
But the US man, Wayne Wilcox, added in his email to Sinnott: 'They screwed up the development of the film and ruined it.
'Rather than admit they made a mistake, they erased all evidence that they had found the camera or the body.'
Synnott also interviewed an unnamed British diplomat who, in 1984, had interviewed the Chinese female climber Pan Duo - who was only the second woman to reach the summit of Everest and the first to do so via the North Face.
The interview had been arranged by Sir George Bishop, who was then the preside of the Royal Geographical Society.
The discussion took place in the headquarters of the Chinese Mountaineering Association, which went on to become the CTMA.
Synnott said that the diplomat, who wished to remain anonymous, told him that Pan Duo - had said that on the 1975 expedition, the Chinese team that she was part of found the body of Irvine and his camera.
After the camera was brought back to China, technicians were unable to recover any images from the film.
Synnott claims that the diplomat wrote a emo of the meeting which may have been sent to the Foreign Office, but no record of it has ever been found.
Also revealed by the author is a 1999 email allegedly written by the unnamed diplomat that was sent to Sir Anthony Galsworthy, the then British ambassador to China.
It was sent just days after Mallory's body had been discovered.
Recounting how Duo had admitted to the camera being recovered, the email added: 'We asked whether it had been possible to develop the film. I seem to recall that we were told there had been nothing on it.
'I also recall that we were told that the camera was in the Mountaineering Association's museum. Someone should speak with the Chinese Mountaineering Association.
'This was all a long time ago and I could have got it wrong, although I don't think so. And that meeting has always stuck in my memory.
'If the film really was mucked up, I imagine it is quite possible that the association [CMA] would deny that the camera had ever been found.'
Synnott added that it is 'possible, if not likely' that the film was developed successfully and showed Mallory and Irvine on top of Everest.
If true, this would mean the Chinese climbers were not the first to ascend the North Face.
In 2015, letters written by Mallory in which he described his climbing partner emerged for sale.
In one, he said Irvine was a 'splendid specimen of a man', with a voice that reminded him of First World War poet Rupert Brook.

However, due to the two men's deaths and the mystery over whether or not they reached the summit before dying, New Zealander Sir Edmund and his Sherpa climbing partner Norgay have gone down in the history books for their 1953 successful attempt.
Hillary, who was a 33-year-old beekeeper at the time, was paired up with Norgay as part of a British expedition to reach the summit.
The British wanted to beat Sweden to the top of the mountain after Swiss climber Raymond Lambert - also accompanied by Norgay - reached 28,210 feet before turning back due to lack of supplies just a year earlier.
Hillary was selected out of the British Commonwealth and Norgay was chosen as one of the most experienced Sherpas in Nepal.
It took the duo seven weeks to reach the 29,032-foot summit of Everest.
At the time, Norgay was one of the most widely-known citizens of his Indian hill town of Darjeeling, which was home to many Sherpas, who made their living helping Westerners climb the Himalayas, according to The New Yorker.
Norgay's accomplishment earned him a retirement from his decades-long career as a climber and catapulted him into stardom.
Th mountaineer said later that he would never have made the historic climb had he known what would come out of it.
But he still made a living off of the fame, even turning his Darjeeling home into a museum that was open daily from 10am to 4.30pm and was complete with his climbing gear, trophies and photographs of his adventures.
Norgay, who held Indian and Nepalese passports, identified himself as a Sherpa - or Tibetan - by trade. Sherpas so often helped Westerners to the Himalayan summits that the word became a name for mountain guides.
They are known to quickly adapt to higher altitudes, where oxygen levels are low.
Norgay was just that - a mountain guide who was described as 'astonishingly excellent in courage and determination' - when he ventured to the top of Everest with Hillary.
After making the trek to the top of the mountain - and back down - Hillary was knighted and Norgay received the George Medal, which rewards acts of bravery in the UK. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10808817/Book-suggests-body-1924-climber-Andrew-Sandy-Irvine-removed-Everest-camera.html | 2022-05-12T16:28:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10808817/Book-suggests-body-1924-climber-Andrew-Sandy-Irvine-removed-Everest-camera.html | false | 3 |
NEW YORK (AP) — The lease to the Washington, D.C., hotel run by Donald Trump’s family company while he was president, a symbol of his power to GOP politicians who gathered there and of corruption to his critics, has been sold by his family company to a Miami-based investor fund.
The Trump Organization said Wednesday that it had completed the sale of a long-term lease of the Trump International Hotel to CGI Merchant Group of Miami for what it described as a record price per room for the city. Sources close to the deal demanding anonymity to discuss the private transaction have said that the price was $375 million, handing the Trump family business perhaps as much as $100 million in profit.
The new owners planned to remove the Trump name from the facade and rebrand the hotel a Waldorf Astoria. Workers were seen removing signage from the hotel Wednesday night.
The Associated Press reported earlier this year that the group of investors includes former Yankee slugger Alexander Rodriguez.
Many hotel brokers, owners and consultants did not expect the 263-room hotel down the street from the White House to fetch such a high price. The hotel lost more than $70 milllion during the four years of Trump’s presidency, including in each year before pandemic shut downs.
The high price, equivalent to more than $1.4 million a room, has drawn scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers. The U.S. House Oversight Committee earlier this month requested documents from CGI listing all of its investors.
The hotel was a magnet for lobbyists, diplomats and others seeking to curry favor with the president. Democrats said it it sullied the reputation the presidency, pitted his financial interest against public interest and possibly broke the law. Several lawsuits challenging his ownership of the lease were unsuccessful.
The hotel is the former Old Post Office building, and its still formally owned by the federal government. The Trump Organization won rights to fix up the building and run it as a hotel in exchange for paying the government annual rent and a cut of profit upon a sale. | https://www.klfy.com/politics/trump-sells-washington-hotel-to-miami-based-investor-group/ | 2022-05-12T16:29:11Z | https://www.klfy.com/politics/trump-sells-washington-hotel-to-miami-based-investor-group/ | true | 32 |

India to send trade delegations to nine countries to boost wheat exports
India to send trade delegations to nine countries to boost wheat exports
New Delhi: India will send trade delegations to nine countries including Morocco, Tunisia, and Indonesia to explore possibilities of boosting wheat shipments as it targets to export 10 million tonnes of the grain in 2022-23. The commerce ministry has set up a task force on wheat exports with representatives from various ministries, including commerce, shipping and railways, and exporters under the aegis of Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), it said on Thursday.
The ministry also plans to organise a series of meetings on exports in major wheat growing states such as Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. "The Centre will send trade delegations to Morocco, Tunisia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Algeria and Lebanon for exploring possibilities of boosting wheat exports from India. "India has set a target of a record 10 million tonnes of wheat in the 2022-23 amid rising global demand for the grain," it said.
There is a rise in the demand for Indian wheat in the global markets and farmers, traders and exporters have been advised to follow all the quality norms of the importing countries so that India emerges as a reliable supplier of the grain. According to estimates by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, India exported 7 million tonnes (MT) of wheat in 2021-22 which is valued at USD 2.05 billion.
Out of the total shipment, around 50 per cent of wheat was exported to Bangladesh in the last fiscal. Recently, Egypt, which is one of the world's biggest importers of wheat, had agreed to source wheat from India. "Egyptian authorities have put India as one of the origins for this strategic commodity. Egypt imported 6.1 MT of wheat in 2021 and India was not part of the list of accredited countries which can export wheat to Egypt," it added. More than 80 per cent of Egypt's wheat imports, estimated to be close to USD 2 billion, in 2021 were from Russia and Ukraine.
APEDA has already communicated to exporters to register with Egypt's public procurement agency General Authority of Supplies and Commodities, which manages wheat and sugar imports to the north African country.

AFTERNOON - Human Rights Council Adopts Resolution on the Deteriorating Human Rights Situation in Ukraine and Closes Special Session
The Human Rights Council this afternoon closed its thirty-fourth special session after adopting a resolution on the deteriorating human rights situation in Ukraine stemming from the Russian aggression, in which the Councilreiterated its demand for an immediate cessation of military hostilities against Ukraine and requested the Independent International Commission of Inquiry to conduct an inquiry, consistent with its mandate and international standards, and in coordination with other national and international mechanisms, to address the events in the areas of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions in late February and March 2022, including their gender dimension, with a view to hold to account those responsible.
In the resolution, that was adopted by a vote of 33 in favour, two against and 12 abstentions, the Council also urged the Russian Federation to provide representatives and staff of international human rights and humanitarian institutions, including United Nations specialised agencies, with unhindered, timely, immediate, unrestricted and safe access to persons who had been transferred from conflict-affected areas of Ukraine and were held on the territory of the Russian Federation or areas controlled or occupied by the Russian Federation, and to share with relevant parties a comprehensive list of such transferred persons and their whereabouts.
In the discussion prior to the adoption of the resolution, speakers raised, among other things, the importance of ensuring accountability for all violations and abuses perpetrated in Ukraine. Justice must be served for these and all other crimes through the relevant international instruments. Russia should immediately cease its aggression, withdraw all its forces from the whole territory of Ukraine, and provide international human rights and humanitarian institutions with unhindered, immediate and safe access to persons transferred from conflict-affected areas of Ukraine and held on the territory of Russia or areas controlled or occupied by the Russian Federation.
Speaking in the discussion were the representatives of Georgia, Israel, Estonia, Slovakia, Belgium and Iran.
Also speaking were the Ukrainian Parliament Commission for Human Rights, as well as the following non-governmental organizations: World Organization against Torture, Article 19 - International Centre Against Censorship, International Commission of Jurists, Human Rights House Foundation, Amnesty International, International Federation for Human Rights Leagues, Ingenieurs du Monde, Lawyers’ Rights Watch Canada, United Nations Watch, Maat for Peace, Development and Human Rights Association, Human Rights Watch, International Service for Human Rights, World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations, International Program for Human Rights Law, Civicus - World Alliance for Citizen Participation, International-Lawyers.org, and Child Rights Connect.
The first meeting of the special session was held this morning and a summary can be found here .
The Council’s regular fiftieth session will be held from 13 June to 8 July 2022
Discussion
In the discussion, speakers raised, among other things, the importance of ensuring accountability for all violations and abuses perpetrated in Ukraine. Summary executions of men, women and children; and sexual- and gender-based violence that could amount to war crimes; and the near-total destruction of Mariupol’s civilian infrastructure were all vitally important issues. Justice must be served for these and all other crimes through the relevant international instruments. Russia should immediately cease its aggression, withdraw all its forces from the whole territory of Ukraine, and provide international human rights and humanitarian institutions with unhindered, immediate and safe access to persons transferred from conflict-affected areas of Ukraine and held on the territory of Russia or areas controlled or occupied by the Russian Federation. The Russian actions represented violations of international law amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and it would be held accountable.
With its aggression, Russia had started a tragedy that was constantly growing, and which ran counter to the principles on which the United Nations was founded. There could be no impunity, and the role of the Council was crucial in this respect. This war was fuelled by an intensified form of disinformation, in which somebody else besides Russia was the cause of the invasion, and this should be rejected and combatted. The atrocities continued to grow, showing that the creation of a Commission of Inquiry by the Council in March was only part of the necessary international human rights response to the impact of this conflict. The growth of world food insecurity and the blockade of Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea were matters of great concern for those who were vulnerable to food and energy insecurity, and this unnecessary situation must be deplored. Immediate solutions should be sought through negotiations. All parties should fully respect international humanitarian law. The actions that had fuelled the conflict must cease; there should be a peace-loving mentality. The war should not be used as an excuse to sell weapons and engage in geo-political and power politics that could only further side-line the multilateral system.
During times of war, the safety of journalists and media workers was paramount, and the Russian Federation had launched abhorrent attacks against journalists who were documenting its crimes against international law, including by resorting to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, kidnapping and murders, with at least 10 reported killings of journalists since the beginning of the war. Abductions and killings of journalists were war crimes, and must be fully investigated with a view to holding those who perpetrated them to account. The Commission of Inquiry must be provided with sufficient resources to investigate and support effective accountability for the escalating crimes committed during the conflict. Human rights defenders and journalists investigating crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine required the efforts of the international community to ensure their safety alongside other particularly vulnerable groups. Equally, Russia’s repression in occupied Crimea continued with arbitrary arrests, torture, politically-motivated criminal convictions, enforced disappearances, and other gross violations of human rights.
Action on Resolution on the Deteriorating Human Rights Situation in Ukraine Stemming from the Russian Aggression
In a resolution (A/HRC/S-34/L.1) as orally revised, on the deteriorating human rights situation in Ukraine stemming from the Russian aggression , adopted by a vote of 33 in favour, two against and 12 abstentions, the Human Rights Council reiterates its demand for an immediate cessation of military hostilities against Ukraine, and for all parties to the conflict to respect the fundamental principles and rules of international humanitarian law, including to refrain from any attacks against civilians and civilian objects, and to refrain from any human rights violations and abuses in Ukraine; and to refrain from any State-sponsored disinformation, propaganda for war or advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, related to the aggression against Ukraine; and urges the Russian Federation to provide representatives and staff of international human rights and humanitarian institutions, including United Nations specialised agencies, with unhindered, timely, immediate, unrestricted and safe access to persons who have been transferred from conflict-affected areas of Ukraine and are held on the territory of the Russian Federation or areas controlled or occupied by the Russian Federation, and to share with relevant parties a comprehensive list of such transferred persons and their whereabouts.
The Council requests the Commission of Inquiry to conduct an inquiry, consistent with its mandate and international standards, and in coordination with other national and international mechanisms, to address the events in the areas of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions in late February and March 2022, including their gender dimension, with a view to hold to account those responsible, and also requests the Commission to brief the Human Rights Council on the progress of that inquiry as part of the oral update to the Council at its fifty-first session, and to include the findings after the completion of that inquiry in its report to the fifty-second session of the Human Rights Council; and requests the High Commissioner to present an oral update on the grave human rights and humanitarian situation in Mariupol, to include an assessment of the nature and causes of violations or abuses of human rights and of violations of international humanitarian law committed there, at the fiftieth session of the Human Rights Council, under item 2 to be followed by an interactive dialogue. The Council encourages relevant thematic Special Procedure mandate holders, within their respective mandates, to continue to pay particular attention to the situation of human rights in Ukraine stemming from the Russian aggression, and urges all relevant parties to cooperate with those mandate holders; and decides to remain seized on the matter.
The results of the vote are as follows:
In favour (33): Argentina, Benin, Brazil, Cote d’Ivoire, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Gabon, Gambia, Germany, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Libya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malawi, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mexico, Montenegro, Nepal, Netherlands, Paraguay, Poland, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Somalia, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States.
Against (2): China and Eritrea.
Abstentions (12): Armenia, Boliva, Cameroon, Cuba, India, Kazakhstan, Namibia, Pakistan, Senegal, Sudan, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.

All but one of the 11 Tarrant County conservative school board candidates, who were backed this year by several high-profile donors and big-money PACs, defeated their opponents during Saturday’s local elections, according to unofficial results. The one candidate backed by the groups who didn’t win outright advances to a runoff election in June.
The 10 candidates won the school board races for the Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller, Mansfield and Carroll school districts.
The candidates' sweep shows a large swath of voters across the county responded to their calls to eradicate so-called critical race theory from classrooms and remove books discussing LGBTQ issues, which concerned parents have described as “pornographic.” Education experts, school administrators and teachers all say that critical race theory, a university-level concept that examines the institutional legacies of racism, is not taught in elementary, middle or high school classrooms.
The victories also show that the staggering amounts of money that were poured into the once low-profile and nonpartisan local races are producing their intended effect. PACs organized by parents, as well as a newly formed PAC from a self-proclaimed Christian cellphone company, collectively raised over half a million dollars for the local races this year. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on top political consulting firms that bolstered an anti-CRT platform with flyers saying the candidates were “saving America.”
This year’s school board races across Texas, and notably in Tarrant County, have been hyperpoliticized as school board meetings have become the center of culture war debates over COVID safety policies, library book bans and discussions of racial issues and history. The school board races drew intense scrutiny from conservative parents and deep-pocketed donors. Even state GOP chair Matt Rinaldi weighed in.
Patriot Mobile, a Texas-based cellphone company that donates a portion of its customers’ phone bills to conservative, “Christian” causes, gave $500,000 to its own PAC, Patriot Mobile Action. The PAC spent about $390,000 on campaigns in the four Tarrant County districts, campaign reports filed in April show. The same filings showed the PAC had about $125,000 cash on hand as the May 7 election approached.
Patriot Mobile Action spent at least $38,500 in advertising and canvassing for each candidate from Mansfield, Grapevine-Colleyville and Keller school districts. All of those candidates were victorious Saturday night.
In Mansfield, the PAC backed the now-victorious candidates Bianca Benavides Anderson, Keziah Valdes Farrar and Courtney Lackey Wilson. In Grapevine-Collevyille, Tammy Nakamura and Kathy Florence-Spradley, whom the PAC supported, won their respective races. In the Keller races, Patriot Mobile Action backed Micah Young, Joni Shaw Smith and Sandi Walker. Each won Saturday night.
In Carroll ISD, which covers the city of Southlake, Patriot Mobile Action supported candidates Andrew Yeager and Alex Sexton, who also secured seats on the board.
The only candidate supported by the PAC who didn’t win was Craig Tipping. He heads to a June 18 runoff with Benita C. Reed.
