UNDER-16
Buckswood School U16s faced Rossall School in the ISFA U16 National Shield final.
Both teams played well and Rossall took a 2-o lead by half-time.
Roared on by supporters, who made the five-hour journey to support the team, Buckswood came back from to draw 2-2 by end of normal time.
This led to extra time during which both teams played some outstanding football; however, Buckswood managed to come back to win 4-2 at the end of extra time.
Goals from Nicklas (2), Taiga and Senshin were enough to give Buckswood yet another national final victory.
With more finals on the horizon, the academy goes from strength to strength.
Well done to Trevor, Darren, Dan, and all the academy players, for an excellent season of success.
UNDER-18
Hastings United Youth Under-18s beat Sevenoaks Town Hurricanes to lift the Crowborough & District football League Cup.
The team are superbly managed by Craig Gray and coached by Dave Willet
and the final was played at Hailsham Town FC
Hastings worked their socks off and won 3-2.
The boys started in Division B and were quickly moved to Division A as they were a lot stronger than the many other teams.
They narrowly missed winning the league but have now brought home the cup.
Thanks went to Craig and Dave and to Marc Simmons for helping get sponsors for the kits, Parkers Building Supplies.
A big thanks also went to Brad Gray for running the line and to all the parents for the support they have given. | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/football/buckswood-school-and-hastings-united-youth-footballers-celebrate-3691588 | 2022-05-12T16:37:53Z | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/football/buckswood-school-and-hastings-united-youth-footballers-celebrate-3691588 | true | 1 |
Power to the nurses: Fishburne Military School recognizes National Nurses Week
Fishburne Military School recognizes its team of school nurses for National Nurses Week.
May 12th recognizes the birthday of Nurse Florence Nightingale, who was born in 1820. Nightingale is best known for her assignment to gather a team of nurses to care for the British soldiers during the Crimean War.
FMS Head Nurse Jennie Hill, RN, has been with FMS for eight years.
“I get compared to the Old Woman in the Shoe. You know, the one with so many children she didn’t know what to do?” Hill said. “Well, it is kind of like that with keeping track of prescription refills, doctor and dental appointments, custody arrangements, and coordinating transportation and conduct for active families… there is always something to do here.”
Alongside Hill, the FMS nursing staff includes staff nurses David Cook, RN, and Kristen Scarbrough.
As an experienced nurse, Hill offers advice to anyone entering her field.
“Nurses must be as professional as possible,” she said. “Everyone expects you to perform miracles instantly. Everyone is looking to your every action and decision. We have a bigger responsibility beyond prescribing pills — teaching [cadets] that self-care, both physically and mentally, throughout life is truly the long-term miracle cure.” | https://augustafreepress.com/power-to-the-nurses-fishburne-military-school-recognizes-national-nurses-week/ | 2022-05-12T16:40:38Z | https://augustafreepress.com/power-to-the-nurses-fishburne-military-school-recognizes-national-nurses-week/ | false | 1 |
Google is always concocting new ways to help make your workflow more efficient. Such is the case with the newly added ability to compose a Gmail draft within Google Docs. This new feature is found within the Building Blocks submenu and makes it such that you compose the draft (or multiple drafts) within Google Docs, and then (with a single click) send the email.
SEE: iCloud vs. OneDrive: Which is best for Mac, iPad, and iPhone users? (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Not only does this mean you can easily compose emails from within Google Docs, but you can also collaborate on those emails. And that, my friends, is worth the price of entry. Imagine, you have a team that must send out regular emails and you need input from the group. Create the document, share it out, and then start composing the email(s) within the doc.
Let me show you how.
What you’ll need
The only thing you’ll need to use this new feature is a Google Workspaces account. The new email compose feature works in both the paid and free versions of Workspaces, so anyone can access the new option. Let’s get to composing.
How to use the Gmail draft feature
Open the Google Doc you intend to use. With the document open, click Insert | Building Blocks | Email draft (Figure A).
Figure A
A new section will appear in your document, which includes To, CC, Bcc, Subject and body sections (Figure B).
Figure B
Compose the missive exactly as you would within Gmail (adding recipients, a subject and then typing the body). Once you’ve completed composing the email, you can either leave it as is or click the M logo to send it. When you send an email, a popup window will appear that looks exactly like the regular Gmail compose window. Click Send and the missive is off to the recipient(s). The only caveat is that you have to manually close the popup once the email sends. After sending the email, the draft will remain within the document.
Aha! a hint as to another way we can use this new feature. Say you send out regular emails to specific recipients, only the body of the email is altered. You could use this feature to create a collection of email templates (even collaborating on them) and alter the body of the email as needed and then send it when ready.
Imagine having a Google Docs document filled with emails that you send daily, only you no longer have to go through the process of composing them all from scratch. That’s efficient communication. Not only are you saving time, but you’re also making it possible to collaborate on such efforts so that they are more reliable and repeatable.
Give this new Google Docs feature a try and see if you don’t find some exciting use cases for it.

Blackburn Rovers have triggered the one-year extension in Ben Brereton Diaz's contract - and that spells good news for Nottingham Forest.
Brereton Diaz's deal was due to expire this summer but the decision by Rovers' hierarchy to activate the clause in his contract keeps him at the club until June 2023.
The move comes as the forward continues to be linked with a big summer move, with West Ham, Leeds United and Sevilla all linked with the 23-year-old.

READ MORE: Boss fumes over 'poor decision as Sheffield United decision slammed for Nottingham Forest clash
Rovers' decision means they can now demand a bigger transfer fee, but that also benefits Forest who reportedly had a sell-on clause inserted in the deal which took Brereton Diaz to Ewood Park from the Reds in 2019.
Had Rovers not activated the clause, they would have risked it being settled via compensation given the player is under the age of 24.
Brereton Diaz's stock has risen considerably over the last year having become a regular for the Chile international team and he finished the Championship campaign with 22 goals.
That has led to a host of clubs regularly checking in on the forward with West Ham boss David Moyes reportedly calling upon his former assistant Alan Irvine to run the rule over the forward recently.
It has been reported that a £20m price tag has been placed on the forward. | https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/forest-blackburn-brereton-diaz-transfer-7073492 | 2022-05-12T16:44:21Z | https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/forest-blackburn-brereton-diaz-transfer-7073492 | false | 1 |
Four Vancouver Island rugby players have survived boot camp in Langford and will be wearing the maple leaf next month in New Zealand.
Sophie de Goede and Gabrielle Senft of Victoria’s Castaway Wanderers and will join stalwart veterans Tyson Beukeboom and Laura Russell of Cowichan on Canada’s 32-woman rugby roster for next month’s Pacific Four Series.
The third-ranked Canadians will play the seventh-ranked U.S. in Tauranga before taking on No. 2 New Zealand on June 12 in Waitakere and No. 5 Australia on June 12 in Whangarei.
Head coach Kevin Rouet hosted a camp in Langford, last month, trimming his roster from 45 to 32 players who will make the trip to the June 5-18 tournament in New Zealand.
Rouet, a former Canadian assistant coach, replaced Sandro Fiorino as head coach in late March.
The training group will be the basis for squad selection for home test matches against No. 6 Italy on July 24 at Starlight Stadium in Langford and No. 9 Wales on Aug. 27 at the Wanderers Grounds in Halifax, which will mark the team’s final matches on home soil ahead of the World Cup that opens Oct. 8 in New Zealand.
“The Pacific Four Series will provide us with a fantastic opportunity to test ourselves against some of the world’s best teams ahead of two home test matches in July and August,” Rouet said in a statement.
“Everyone has worked very hard to get to this point, but this is where things ramp up for what is set to be an incredible few months which will culminate with the World Cup in New Zealand. A possible total of 12 test matches between now and the end of the World Cup is a record for our senior women’s 15s team, showcasing incredible progress for the program and commitment from the athletes.”

Martin Lewis has urged people to check they are on the cheapest deals for every type of loan after interest rates soared 10-fold.
The Money Saving Expert founder was talking on BBC Radio 5 Live on Wednesday (May 11) about the cost of living crisis and practical steps you can take now interest rates are skyrocketing. He warned it is forecasted to get even worse.
Martin said: "Since we were last on the show (the previous week) interest rates have gone up. The UK base rate is now at 1%.
Read More: Martin Lewis reckons it 'smells wrong' after some energy bills double
"If you told someone 20 years that they would have thought it was incredibly low but let's just put it in context: six months ago it was 0.1% so it's gone up 10-fold in that time.
"And the direction of travel is what matters. Even at the last meeting, there were members of the banks' committee who voted for it to rise even faster."
Explaining how it impacts people in the UK, Martin said: "That means everyone who has got an outstanding mortgage, debt on a credit card, a loan, or an overdraft, you need to be checking now that your deal is as good as can be. Rates are likely to rise and rise rapidly over the year and you need to position yourself to protect yourself from it."
Martin claimed there were more than 50 fixed-rate mortgage deals with interest rates below 1% back in October. Fast forward to May 2022 and the cheapest fixed rate is 2.1%.
He explained: "That means for someone with a £200,000 mortgage over 30 years, the cheapest rate today would cost £120 a month more (£1,400 a year more) than the cheapest rate in October. Further rate rises are predicted."
Martin said most standard rates were 5% so it was worth trying to get in a fixed-rate deal before interest rates soared even higher. He then gave four steps to finding the cheapest mortgage rate:
- Check your existing lender's current deals for a benchmark
- Use a comparison site to find the best deals for the level of borrowing and equity you've got
- Calculate how much the saving is
- Go to a mortgage broker for help
Martin suggested using a fee-free mortgage broker who gets their commission from the bank or, if you do pay for the broker yourself, only pay once you've been accepted for the mortgage. He said it's harder to get approved for affordability or credit reasons thanks to the cost of living increasing so much.
Also on the show, a man confessed he had got a kitchen half price by going into a back room and making himself cry, nabbing the hefty discount by telling the designers he didn't have enough money to pay and was "sorry for wasting your time". Martin said the tactic was "morally dubious".

“12 Angry Pigs” and “Crisis Inc.”
Two plays in one evening: The one-act comedic play “12 Angry Pigs” is performed by the youth of Roswell Community Little Theatre’s program, KAPS of RCLT. A jury of “swine” must decide in court if the accused wolf did blow the little pigs’ houses down and if he is big and bad. The play is comical, but also an educational parody of the film classic “12 Angry Men.” In “Crisis Inc.” the audience experiences a short romantic farce in which a company specializes in panicking for people. When two companies — who are at fault for the other’s panic — hire the company at the same time, the receptionist tries to keep the business people apart. The performances of the plays take place on both days at 7 p.m. RCLT is located at 1717 S. Union Ave. For more information, visit roswelltheatre.com.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Police released images Tuesday of seven people of interest in the fatal shooting of a Fells Point bouncer early Monday morning.
Marco Nunez, the 30-year-old bouncer of Rodos Bar, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 1700 block of Thames Street around 1 a.m. Monday. He was pronounced dead at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Homicide detectives are looking to identify and question three men and four women pictured in a release:
female 1a, BPD
female 2, BPD
female 3 and male 2, BPD
female 4, BPD
male 1, BPD
male 2a, BPD
male 3a, BPD
Male 3b, BPD

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (Mike Osborne) — Tennessee’s COVID-19 new case counts have now risen five weeks in a row.
During the week that ended Saturday, the number of new infections reported statewide rose to just under 4,900 cases. That’s a 35 percent increase over the week before.
The number of new infections being reported each week remains relatively small. Back in mid-January, Tennessee health officials were reporting weekly case counts 24 times higher.
This past week, new case counts jumped 25 percent in Metro Nashville, 30 percent in Williamson County, and 57 percent in Rutherford County. | https://www.wmot.org/news/2022-05-12/tenn-covid-19-infections-continue-to-rise-now-up-5-weeks-in-a-row | 2022-05-12T16:57:50Z | https://www.wmot.org/news/2022-05-12/tenn-covid-19-infections-continue-to-rise-now-up-5-weeks-in-a-row | true | null |
I work at Taco Bell – staff are lying when they say they’ve run out of something, here’s how to get around it
YOU might be met with a feeling of disappointment when you're told that Taco Bell is out of their delicious cinnamon twists.
But fret not, because according to an ex-employee's claims, there's a way to get your hands on your favorite Taco Bell foods even when staff says they don't have them on hand.
Speaking to The Sun, a previous Taco Bell employee claimed that when staff say they've run out of something, most of the time, they apparently aren't telling the truth.
They explained: “We don’t run out of supplies that often, so if you come back in 30 minutes it will probably be available.”
They also detailed exactly why staff might say they've run out of something despite still having it.
“About 75 percent of the time when we say that we ran out of something, especially during closing time or a super busy time, we probably just don’t want to make it.”
Under the pressure of being super busy during peak hours, or simply attempting to go home on time by avoiding complex orders, staff would sometimes state they don't have certain items, according to the ex-employee.
So, the next time you go to your local Taco Bell on a busy day and they say they're out of your favorite meal, you might want to just try again in half an hour.
The sun has reached out to Taco Bell for comment.
This news come after the same Taco Bell employee claimed that some of their foods are not as fresh first thing in the morning.

The previous employee disclosed: “We do carry over, so if you come really early in the morning, most of the stuff you’re eating is from last night. But it’s stored correctly.
"Any fried items like chalupas, french fries, or cinnabons we throw out, but things like beef, beans, lettuce, and cheese, we save them," they said, explaining that the leftover ingredients are properly stored.
The former employee also shared that a certain sugary snack item could be kept in the store for days, though also stored properly.
They said: “Cinnamon twists could be days old, but when people eat them they’re probably not stale because they get stored in a warm heating cabinet.”

North of Asheville Hike between 2 highest peaks east of the Mississippi
Photo taken by my traveling buddy. We did a fun weekend trip documenting the barn tiles of Burnesville, about an hour north of Asheville, NC. Then this day, we decided to do a wonderful hike from the top of Mt. Mitchell to the top of Mt. Craig, the two highest peaks E. of the Mississippi river. I was nervous that my knees would pose a problem for hiking as my hiking days have been long over, but with poles and hiking boots, I did it! I almost cried! | https://365project.org/darylo/2021/2022-05-12 | 2022-05-12T17:01:10Z | https://365project.org/darylo/2021/2022-05-12 | true | null |
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.

Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas surprises every employee with $5,000 bonus
LAS VEGAS (Gray News) - The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas surprised all its 5,400 employees with a $5,000 bonus at an employee appreciation and awards buffet Wednesday.
Company representatives for the luxury resort casino and hotel said the bonuses total more than $27 million.
Resort President and CEO Bill McBeath made the announcement on stage, followed by a confetti cannon shooting into the crowd of cheering employees.
The audience of employees had been holding their breath to find out which lucky employee would be gifted the $5,000 bonus – but McBeath shocked them when he said, “Congratulations to… every one of you!”
McBeath credited the employees with maintaining “a youthful, exuberant brand” while working through the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the luncheon, two lucky employees were also gifted vacations to San Diego and Hawaii – Staci Stafford, a housekeeping worker trainer, and Samira Harbali, a server at the resort.
Blackstone, the New York-based private equity firm, owns the approximately 3,000-room, two-tower Cosmopolitan property. According to the Associated Press, Blackstone plans in coming weeks to complete a $1.6 billion sale of property operations to casino giant MGM Resorts International.
In an email, Tyler Henritze, head of strategic investments for Blackstone Real Estate, said, “We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished at The Cosmopolitan under our ownership to create the most dynamic destination on the Las Vegas Strip. We know that none of that would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the resort’s amazing employees, and we are thrilled to recognize those contributions.”
The Cosmopolitan opened on Dec. 15, 2010 and is located just south of the Bellagio on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has expressed his disappointment at the slow pace of renovations that started five years ago at Thubelihle High School, saying the infrastructure challenges were long identified.
Lesufi was responding to the shutdown of the Soweto school by angry parents and pupils who exposed the poor state of the school in White City.
He said a budget was set aside and allocated for the refurbishment of Thubelihle. “We hope that the DID [department of infrastructure development] will complete this project accordingly,” said Lesufi.
The provincial department of education said through its department of infrastructure development, R12-million was allocated towards the renovation project five years ago, but the implementation agent failed to deliver.
It said in a statement: “We share the parents’ frustration and call upon the department of infrastructure development to fast-track the process of appointing a new contractor after terminating the current one.”
The school currently utilises mobile classrooms that parents say are not in a good condition, alleging that some do not even have the windows and doors. They also complain that the school’s roofing is leaking and could collapsed anytime, placing the lives of pupils at risk.
Thubelihle’s school governing body agreed later on Thursday that teaching and learning should be allowed to resume on Friday.

Terry Crews is one tough guy — just not in the way you might think. As an actor, Crews has played strongman roles you’d expect from a former pro linebacker, like the character “Hale Caesar” in “The Expendables” action series. Yet most often Crews is playing against type in comedies such as long-running sitcoms “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Everybody Hates Chris.” Currently he’s the energetic host of the reality show “America’s Got Talent.”
Off-screen, Crews is an entrepreneur, author, family man, advocate for women’s rights and activist against sexism. His activism comes from personal experience. Crews has been public about his troubled, violence-filled upbringing, and how this unstable, unhealthy environment bred in him anger, mistrust, misogyny and an unquenchable need for control in his personal and professional relationships.
A dozen years ago Crews was 41 years old and enjoying a successful career in film and television. Yet behind the celebrity smile and Hollywood-star wattage, Crews was miserable. He showed up at home and on the job filled with rage and self-righteousness. His marriage was collapsing. Crews realized he needed help. Fortunately he got it and has kept at it.
Crews has since traversed a path that has brought him to resilience and self-reliance. He’s proud now of being able to carry himself with accountability and authenticity as a husband, father, friend and worker. Crews describes this wholesale transformation over the past 12 years as a huge challenge — one that has made it clear to him what “tough” really means. He offers his penetrating stories of self-discovery and continuing personal development in a new book, “Tough: My Journey to True Power.”
The need to have power and control over others is, as Crews understands it, largely a reaction to feelings of fear and shame. Many of us hold this pain and keep it hidden, smoldering, even as connection with family, coworkers — and ourselves — becomes dissatisfying or disastrous.
In “Tough,” Crews looks honestly at what we can control and encourages letting go of what we can’t. “True power,” Crews says, “is the ability to control yourself.” It’s being responsive, not reactive; mindful, not willful.
The life lessons Crews shares in “Tough” are especially relevant to work and career. In a telephone interview, which has been edited for length and clarity, Crews spoke about how anger, fear, insecurity and other pressures can derail work productivity and career potential. Building inner security and taming insecurity is difficult but necessary for what is literally the role of a lifetime: the star of our own show.
MarketWatch: “Tough” and “power” — those are fighting words. What do you want people to know about toughness — physical toughness versus mental and emotional toughness?
Crews: Where I came from, and where I grew up and my background, being tough was about instilling fear in other people. It was about using the strength that you had and throwing punches and intimidation and letting people know that you’re the man. A lot of bluster and a lot of pride. That was toughness when I grew up.
I’ve realized it is just the opposite. Toughness is the ability to take punches. To endure. To really work on yourself to the point that it hurts. I had no control over my emotions, my anger, and it was no way to live. I could fall for anything. Anything you said to me could be used as bait to get me off my game, my purpose, my mission.
MarketWatch: So much of your story is about having and maintaining power — but your definition of power isn’t how many people see it.
Crews: Power is used to lord over people, to control people — but real, true power is the ability to control yourself. In the former, first definition of power, you can be very successful. Being feared rather than loved can lead you to a very successful business life. It can make you rich. Because people are scared of you. The problem is that your external success never matches what you are internally. It’s a house of cards.
I had an image that was worshipped — that was the fictional Terry Crews, something that I hid behind. And you can get behind this image of success and everybody will praise it, because you’re successful. No one will call you on your stuff. But you’re not carrying the truth. My wife was married to this image and when she found out who I really was, she was like, oh no, I’m out. This is not what I signed up for. Then everything I knew came crumbling down hard.
MarketWatch: Your book clearly expresses “Terry 2.0” and is meant to motivate others. How are you a better version of yourself now?
Crews: I don’t have the answers. I’m still figuring it out. The real quest is to find the right questions. If you can ask yourself the right questions, you can get to the core of who you are and what you should be doing. I used to ask myself, “Why doesn’t my wife believe me?” The real, right question was, “Why am I lying?” The context is the same, but instead of blaming and putting things on her, the question became internal.
Most of this comes from shame. Shame is a manipulator. People can manipulate you through shame. The essence of shame is that you are a bad person. It isn’t that you did something wrong. It’s that you are bad. Then you put up a facade to hide that you’re a bad person. And none of this is true. You’re not bad. You may do bad things. You may do good things. But you at your core are not bad. Can you name a baby that’s bad?
The success that I had was so cool to everybody. But my wife would look at me and she was the only one willing to tell me the truth. And I wouldn’t listen to her because she’s a woman. That was the other part of my culture growing up, the misogyny.
I believed I was more valuable than the women in my life simply because I was a man. It was prevalent in my world. At home where my father would beat my mother up. Outside, the older kids would say “You’d better get your girl in line.” When I grew up it was, “You’d better get your wife in line.”
You owned your family. You controlled them. That put up this block that wouldn’t allow me to hear her, and she was telling me all kinds of great wisdom. But she’s not a man, so I wouldn’t receive it.
One thing I did to change my frame of mind is to put a picture of myself on my desk from when I was six years old. I’m looking at this picture and I talk to it and say, is this kid bad? The answer is no. Then I realized that at no time in my life did I stop being that little boy. Of course I grew up, but that little boy is still here. It’s me. And I saw myself without shame for the first time and it truly opened up a world for me.
“ ‘Telling everyone what to do does not make you the boss. Doing everything you told yourself to do makes you the boss.’ ”
MarketWatch: You work with all kinds of people and you run businesses — what’s your style as a worker and a boss? What are your personal best practices?
Crews: I have discovered the difference between competition and creativity. I have left competition behind. Telling everyone what to do does not make you the boss. Doing everything you told yourself to do makes you the boss. You have to lead by example. You have to do everything in your power so you can work on yourself. By doing that you become the greatest servant. You serve other people and you collaborate instead of competing.
Take the NFL. My time in the NFL — you look like a team but you’re actually competing with the other players on the team. People hope people get hurt so they can have their opportunity. It can make people very successful but it also makes for a toxic environment. What helps you in the NFL doesn’t help you in real life. The time I went off in a game, it was wonderful. But when I went off in the street, it was called road rage.
I was competing with everybody. I could look at you and smile and want to destroy you. These things I had to really question. A perfect example is when I was acting in “The Expendables.” I was competing with the other actors, these superstars. They’re all getting their lines and I remember getting pissed off, because I felt like I wasn’t getting enough lines, enough screen time. And there I am with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis — gigantic stars. And I’m sitting in my room pissed because I wanted the same time they had. I viewed myself in a competitive way. I thought maybe they’re racist, maybe there’s a problem here, that they hired me and just wanted to use me. I had determined that I was going to say my lines and go home.
Then something hit me and I asked myself, why are you so cynical? Cynicism is tied in with shame. So I told myself, you’re here with the biggest stars in the world. Why don’t you humble yourself? Don’t compete — contribute. Reframe this as the best opportunity you’ve ever had.
MarketWatch: We can’t act our way out of something like that. Change demands that we be real and realistic.
Crews: I didn’t feel it at first. I said, I have to change my attitude. So I started to greet everybody, asking how they’re doing. I took the lines I had and I started to ad lib. I said I’m going to make this opportunity work. And what happened was that Sylvester Stallone noticed. And he said, Hey, I see you now. Before, he had picked up on my bad attitude. But when he saw the change in my attitude and my willingness to work together, he said, you’re going to save my life in this movie. I’m going to rewrite the script.
This took time. I had to keep showing up and keep showing an attitude of willingness and workability. Because with a bad attitude comes arrogance. But when people see that you’re willing to humble yourself and learn and open up, everybody wants to work with that guy.
Stallone revamped the whole movie. My wife came on the set and Stallone came over and said, “Terry Crews is the most amazing actor. We are so thankful to have him. You watch, it’s going to be beautiful.” And it was. It turned one of the worst experiences I was ever having into the best experience I’ve ever had.
“ ‘This is what I would say to anybody who goes into a workplace: Your attitude truly does determine your altitude.’ ”
This is what I would say to anybody who goes into a workplace: Your attitude truly does determine your altitude. I know it sounds cliché. But it’s always grounded in truth. If you come with an attitude of giving, then you will receive. But a competitive mindset comes in with an attitude of taking — gimme what’s mine and I’m not sharing. Those people, their time is limited. You will work your way out of a company. But if you come with an attitude of giving and a spirit of collaboration, you will never lack for opportunities and for people who want to work with you. You’ll watch as your career skyrockets, like mine did.
MarketWatch: Change is an inside job. What do you say to someone who doesn’t know how to — and perhaps were told not to — look honestly at what’s going on inside of them, to feel and sit with feelings, and really, fully live, as the poet Mary Oliver put it, “your one wild and precious life?”
Crews: Every human being comes to this earth “assembly required.” You have to put it together. If you don’t, someone else is going to assemble you the way they want you to be. The outside influences are super strong. We’re social animals. Let’s say you grow up around gang members. If you don’t do any work to find out who you are, they could put things in you that are not true and all of a sudden you’re leading a gang.
On the flip side, I know people who became doctors and lawyers because their parents wanted them to. They didn’t even want to be that but because they did not work on themselves, they didn’t find out what it is they really wanted.
Do what you have to do to find out what it is you really want. Read books, get therapy, ask questions. It all starts with humility. Now I would never recommend that people go public with their private matters, but you do have to find someone who is going to tell you the truth about yourself. And you have to believe them.
I promise you there’s somebody in your life who will say, “This is what I see with you and I’m going to honestly tell you what your issues are and what you need to work on.” For me, it was my wife, and she’s amazing. For somebody else, it may be your best friend, a brother, a sister — somebody you trust and love and respect — or even a boss or somebody you work with who will tell you, “I see this problem.” And ask them to tell you the truth.
This is why I call the book “Tough.” Because this is so tough to do. But once you break that ice, you are on your way. It’ll take time but it’s a wonderful journey. It’s tough, but it’s worth it.

Spring surge of COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts may be peaking, doctors say
COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts have been rising for weeks, but some infectious disease experts believe the state is close to the end of the spring spike.
Wastewater COVID-19 data from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority shows the rising surge of coronavirus in the Bay State. The increase began in mid- to late-March and after a small dip in late April, things ramped up again.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently said seven counties in Massachusetts have high levels of COVID-19.
In addition, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported nearly 4,000 new confirmed COVID-19 cases on Wednesday and that 743 people in the state were hospitalized with COVID-19. On March 29, the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients statewide was 210.
"Case numbers are up to where we were in December at around 3,000 a day and our percent positivity is nearly 8%, which is pretty high," said Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Kuritzkes, however, noted that although COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising, the impact is less severe.
"We are seeing this uptick of people in the hospital who are infected with SARS-CoV-2. Fortunately, only about a third of them are actually in the hospital because of COVID," Kuritzkes said. "So it seems to be that these new variants are less likely to cause disease and people are better protected because of their vaccination or prior exposure to COVID."
While COVID-19 cases are rising in Massachusetts, the current spring surge is nowhere near the peak that was reached this past winter — and some experts think this current spike is almost over.
"There's clearly a wave of infection going through the Northeast right now. ... It seems to be peaking right now," Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, told CNBC.
Meanwhile, the White House is already warning of a coronavirus wave that could infect 100 million Americans in the late fall or early winter. | https://www.wcvb.com/article/covid-19-spring-surge-may-be-peaking-massachusetts/39973416 | 2022-05-12T17:18:22Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/covid-19-spring-surge-may-be-peaking-massachusetts/39973416 | true | 1 |

As Cuba confronts the worst shortages of food and medicine in decades and runaway inflation, a new exodus of the island’s citizens is underway.
In March, more than 32,000 Cubans arrived at the US-Mexico border, almost twice the number from the previous month, according to US Customs and Border Protection data.
Desperate to leave Cuba, Claudia, her husband and their young son managed to obtain visas to Mexico in Havana – the first step in a journey that placed them in the hands of criminal smuggling networks that are known to charge migrants thousands of dollars for safe passage to the US border.
Claudia, who requested her real name not be used in this story for her safety, said she decided to leave Cuba after the July 2021 widespread protests over power outages, food shortages and a lack of civil liberties, boiled over.
The Cuban government said the protests were orchestrated by Washington to topple the communist government. Prosecutors have charged over 700 people with sedition and civil disobedience in the largest mass trials since the beginning of the Cuban revolution.
“I was done after July 11,” Claudia told CNN. “I am leaving for my son, for his future. I spent all day waiting in lines so he can have yogurt. I work at a [government] hospital for $50 a month. I basically work for free.”
After pretending to be tourists for two days in Cancun, Mexico, Claudia and her family were told by the Mexican smugglers they contacted to fly from Mexico City to Mexicali, a city of more than one million inhabitants right on the US border.
Claudia said the small plane to Mexicali was full of fellow Cubans. She said the smugglers had warned her that Mexican police would stop them as they arrived at the Mexicali airport and to place $100 in each of their passports.
Claudia said Mexican police detained all of the Cubans from their flight and from another flight – from Guadalajara, that was carrying mostly Cuban passengers – that arrived at the same time.
The Cubans from the two flights were taken to a nearby police station and the officers kept their passports, she said. There, she said, the police let her and her family, along with the other Cubans who had placed a $100 bribe in their passports go free. The others remained detained, she said.
Police in Mexicali did not respond to a CNN request for comment. Migrants regularly complain that police in Mexico solicit bribes and rob them.
After leaving police custody, Claudia said that the smuggler they had been in contact with picked them up in a car and drove them to an unfinished house in the Mexican desert.
There, she said a handful of armed smugglers told more than 30 migrants to wait in two stiflingly hot rooms until they could attempt the border crossing. One room was full of people from different countries, she said.
“There were Colombians, Bangladeshis, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians. It felt like the whole world was in there,” she said. The other room, Claudia said, was packed with Cubans.
Cubans have mass emigrated in waves throughout the years.
In 1994, some 35,000 Cubans made the dangerous journey to the US on makeshift rafts. And in 1980, during the “Mariel Boatlift,” an estimated 125,000 Cubans fled to the US on a flotilla of boats.
However, this current exodus is on track to be even larger. According to US Customs and Border Protection data, nearly 80,000 Cubans reached the US border from Mexico from October through March.
The rise in migration comes as the Cuban government has begun to ease Covid-19 related travel restrictions.
For much of the pandemic, the government kept the island on a tight lockdown. People wanting to travel often waited months to get a spot on one of the handful of weekly flights out.
As Cuba relaxed the restrictions in November, the Cuban government’s ally Nicaragua lifted their visa requirements for Cubans – sparking a surge of people who tried to travel to the Central American nation as a way to eventually reach the US.
Suddenly Cubans began posting online ads selling their homes with “everything inside” to pay for the expensive airfare. Others joked about “going to visit the volcanos” in Nicaragua, a tongue-in-cheek way of saying they were emigrating to the US.
Many Cubans flew through Panama to reach Nicaragua – and in March, when the Panamanian government said it would require Cubans traveling via the country to obtain a transit visa, a large crowd of desperate Cubans mobbed Panama’s embassy in Havana.
Increasing shortages on basic goods are what’s driving many people to leave the island, English teacher Kailen Rodriguez told CNN in April as she waited outside Panama’s embassy for a visa.
“We don’t have the possibility to buy many things here. There [outside of Cuba] we can buy all the things,” she said.
Critics say the economic crisis and subsequent migration is the fault of the Cuban government which then uses the wave of migrants to force the US to the negotiating table.
“Tyrannies cause massive migrations,” said Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) in April. “It’s not just a hostile act, if it reaches a certain level, it’s considered an act of war.”
Cuban officials say that increased sanctions, put in place under former US President Donald Trump’s administration are contributing to the economic turmoil on the island.
“In the case of Cuba, it’s not just the consequence of the pandemic, it’s the consequences of the reinforcement of the policy of maximum economic pressure of the US towards Cuba,” Cuban Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Josefina Vidal told CNN in an interview last month.
The US and Cuba held their first migration talks in four years in April, but failed to reach a new agreement.
Meanwhile, migrants like Claudia will likely continue to pay criminal organizations to take them on the dangerous and uncertain journey to the US.
Claudia said smugglers left her and the other migrants on a dirt road close to the US border in the dark after signaling the path to take.
The path was littered with trash and the coats of other migrants who had gone before them.
“They told us to not use the lights on our phones and to keep the children quiet,” Claudia said.
But the group quickly got disorientated until one of the people in the group, a Colombian, used a map application on his phone to guide them back towards the US border, she said.
As they reached the border, Claudia said the group could see lights – a McDonalds – from the Arizona side.
The migrants then reached a gap in the wall where someone had left a case of water and bars of chocolate, she said. Shortly after, US Customs and Border Protection agents arrived to transport them to a detention center in Yuma, where they were interviewed, fingerprinted and tested for Covid. Claudia’s son was examined by a pediatrician, she said.
Less than 24 hours later, the family was released after they requested asylum. They contacted their relatives in Florida who bought them airplane tickets to Miami.
Under the 1996 Cuban Adjustment Act, Cubans who spend a year in the US are able to apply to become permanent residents.
Claudia says she is still disorientated by life in the US, but that her family’s dangerous journey was worth the risks.
“I feel liberated,” Claudia said. “I am another person now, I feel reborn.” | https://stluciachronicle.com/cubans-are-arriving-to-the-us-in-record-numbers-smugglers-are-profiting-from-their-exodus/ | 2022-05-12T17:22:13Z | https://stluciachronicle.com/cubans-are-arriving-to-the-us-in-record-numbers-smugglers-are-profiting-from-their-exodus/ | false | 11 |

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — Ashley Judd encouraged people to seek help for their mental health and talked about her grieving process after the loss of her mother, country star Naomi Judd.
In an interview aired on “Good Morning America” on Thursday, the movie star said she wanted to address her mother's struggle with depression. Judd said she was with her mother at her home in Tennessee on the day Naomi died on April 30.
Judd also encouraged anyone who was having thoughts of harming themselves to reach out to The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Naomi Judd died at the age of 76, a day before she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with her duo partner and daughter Wynonna Judd. In a statement provided to The Associated Press, the family said they had lost her to “the disease of mental illness.”
“When we’re talking about mental illness, it’s very important, and to be clear and to make the distinction between our loved one and the disease," Judd said in the interview. "It lies. It’s savage. And, you know, my mother, our mother, couldn’t hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers. I mean, that is the level of catastrophe of what was going on inside of her because the barrier between — the regard in which they held her couldn’t penetrate into her heart. And the lie that the disease told her was so convincing.”
Ashley Judd said that her mother shot herself with a gun, but asked for privacy on other details of the death. Naomi Judd wrote openly about her depression and anxiety in her memoir “River of Time" and daughter Ashley said it was because of this that she cherished every moment she spent with her mother.
“I really accepted the love my mother was capable of giving me because I knew she was fragile,” Judd said. “So when I walked around the back of their house and came in the kitchen door and she said, ‘There’s my darling, there’s my baby.’ And she lit up. I savored those moments.”
Naomi and Wynonna Judd scored 14 No. 1 songs in a career that spanned nearly three decades. The red-headed duo combined the traditional Appalachian sounds of bluegrass with polished pop stylings, scoring hit after hit in the 1980s. Wynonna led the duo with her powerful vocals, while Naomi provided harmonies and stylish looks on stage.
The Judds released six studio albums and an EP between 1984 and 1991 and won nine Country Music Association Awards and seven from the Academy of Country Music. They earned a total of five Grammy Awards together on hits like “Why Not Me” and “Give A Little Love,” and Naomi earned a sixth Grammy for writing “Love Can Build a Bridge.” | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/entertainment/article/Ashley-Judd-talks-about-mental-health-after-17168049.php | 2022-05-12T17:27:30Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/entertainment/article/Ashley-Judd-talks-about-mental-health-after-17168049.php | true | 30 |
HELENA — Out in the mountains, people spend a lot of time being on the lookout for big dangers like bears, mountain lions and moose. But there is something much smaller that people need to keep an eye out for too.
“It’s a really good time of the year for ticks," said Department of Public Health and Human Services Commutable Disease Epidemiologist Devon Cozart. "They start, kind of coming out and they are really hungry."
That’s right. It’s tick season. And if you’re out on a hike and one of these bloodsuckers attached itself to you for a snack it could lead to several problems.
“So just watch out for, you might get some irritation in the area either way, of course, because your body realizes that you’ve been bit by something," said Cozart. "Much like, again, after a mosquito bite or something like that you might have some minor irritation. But what you want to watch for, even if you safely remove a tick, is going to be an actual rash developing in the area and then any onset of fever or chills or fatigue in the next two weeks.”
Luckily there is no known tick that carries Lyme disease here in the state, but Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Colorado Tick Fever and tularemia are possibilities. So watching any tick bite carefully is important.
But how do you avoid being on the menu in the first place?
“If you find a tick on you one of the best things to do is to grab a pair of forceps if you have one of those in your medical kit or first aid kit and grab them (the tick) and try to grab them," Associate Extension Specialist at Montana State University Laurie Kerzicnik said. "Their mouthparts are barbs, so you want to try and grab as close as you can to the skin and pull that tick out as best you can.
"If you agitate the tick too much while it’s on you or if you try to twist it and rip it out, what’s going to happen is that tick is actually going to regurgitate, and when that tick regurgitates it’s more likely that it’s going to pass a pathogen or some sort of infection onto you,” added Cozart.
"And the myth where you take a match and burn them from behind, that’s something you don’t want to do. It doesn’t work very well,” said Kerzicnik.
And just like when protecting yourself against bears, a good spray can help a lot.
“Avoid getting bit by the tick, there are various ways to do that. Of course you wear an EPA recommended repellent and you can put that on your clothes and on your gear as well," said Cozart. "And along with that it’s good practice to, it’s going to sound funny, tuck your pants into your shoes. What that does is prevent the tick from getting in contact with your skin by possibly coming up your leg and under your pant." | https://www.ktvh.com/news/montana-news/getting-ticked-off-in-montana | 2022-05-12T17:30:43Z | https://www.ktvh.com/news/montana-news/getting-ticked-off-in-montana | true | 5 |

Lee Anderson, the Conservative MP for Ashfield, sparked controversy when he told the House of Commons that there was little need for food banks in the UK.
During the Queen’s Speech debate, he told opposition MPs about a food bank he volunteers at in his Nottinghamshire constituency, which offers courses in cooking and budgeting.
He said: “When people come now for a food parcel, they have to register for a budgeting course and a cooking course.
“And what we do at the food bank, we teach them how to cook cheap and nutritious meals on a budget.
"We can make a meal for about 30p a day, which is cooking from scratch.”
He added: “I think you’ll see first-hand that there’s not this massive use for food banks in this country. You’ve got generation after generation who cannot cook properly. They can’t cook a meal from scratch. They cannot budget.”
Colin Hampton, from the Chesterfield-based Derbyshire Unemployed Workers’ Centre, said that Anderson had ‘exposed’ how the Conservatives view those who are facing financial difficulties.
“In his crude way, Lee Anderson has done us all a favour by exposing the Tory Policy for working class people struggling to make ends meet – train to be poor.
"Very little help will be coming your way, so learn to live on a meagre budget,” he added.
“The growth in food banks over the last decade shows that the social security safety net has been badly eroded.”
Colin added that everyone in the UK should be able to afford to eat – with everyone in society being impacted when people face such issues.
“Everyone should be able to live in dignity in our rich country. It does our society no good at all for children and young people especially to go without adequate nutrition – we all pay for it in the end.
“We have to let him and his like know how we feel about increasing inequality.”
Anderson, who won his seat in the 2019 general election, was invited to explain his comments on Times Radio, after provoking an intense reaction from the opposite side of the Commons.
He said: “The point I was making was that there are a lot of people out there that with the right help, the right support and the right education, they would be able to fend for themselves.”
Anderson stated that he was being criticised for “talking common sense”.
He said: “It’s as simple as that. I’m getting a lot of emails of support. The left will obviously jump on this [and] the mainstream media.”
The MP also dismissed claims he was “being a nasty Tory” and added: “I’m glad that it’s caused all this fuss. Because it brings that debate out.” | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/chesterfield-campaigner-slams-tory-mp-who-claims-food-bank-users-cannot-cook-or-budget-3692176 | 2022-05-12T17:34:25Z | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/chesterfield-campaigner-slams-tory-mp-who-claims-food-bank-users-cannot-cook-or-budget-3692176 | false | 1 |
Three school districts recognized in Cambridge International's annual U.S. District of the Year Awards
FORT MYERS, Fla., May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambridge International, part of the University of Cambridge and the world's largest provider of international education programs, announced today that the School District of Lee County, St. Lucie Public Schools, and Corinth School District are the recipients of Cambridge's U.S. District of the Year Awards for the 2021-2022 school year.
"We are excited to recognize these three districts as U.S. Districts of the Year," said Mark Cavone, Regional Director of Cambridge International, North America. "School District of Lee County, St. Lucie Public Schools, and Corinth School District have continued to expand our innovative programs to support students in their college and career aspirations. Congratulations to all the districts and students for this special recognition."
The U.S. District of the Year Award recognizes school districts that have consistently strong student performance in their schools, that continue to expand their offering of subjects of the Cambridge Pathway, and that provide students in all high schools in their district the opportunity to participate in the Cambridge program. Each year Cambridge International awards one district in each of the following segments:
- Large - Districts with over 20,000 students enrolled in high school
- Medium - Districts with between 10,000 and 20,000 students enrolled in high school
- Small - Districts with less than 10,000 students enrolled in high school
Lee County Schools received the District of the Year Award in the large district category. After first partnering with Cambridge International in 2007 in a handful of schools, Lee County Schools has now expanded Cambridge's rigorous programs to 42 schools in the district.
"We are extremely proud to have received this recognition," said Dr. Jeff Spiro, Chief Academic Officer. "Cambridge International provides us a curriculum that challenges our students and expands access to opportunities that allow students to reach their full potential. This award demonstrates the hard work of our students and teachers, and we look forward to ensuring that all our students have access to educational opportunities that supports students in their pathways to college and career."
St. Lucie Public Schools received the District of the Year Award in the medium district category. Since introducing Cambridge International into the school district in 2007, St. Lucie Public schools has expanded its range of Cambridge programs in 11 Cambridge schools.
"St. Lucie Public Schools is honored to receive this distinguished award as our students and teachers have worked so hard for all their achievements thus far," said Superintendent E. Wayne Gent. "Our high schools continue to expand opportunities for all students to access the rigorous coursework provided by Cambridge International and this national recognition shows that our hard work has paid off. Congratulations to our teachers, faculty, and students on this exceptional honor!
Corinth School District received the District of the Year award in the small district category. Corinth began its partnership with Cambridge International in 2011. In 2016, Corinth was designated District of Innovation by the state of Mississippi for successfully rolling out new programs, including the Cambridge program, in its elementary, middle, and high schools.
"The Corinth School District is committed to providing a challenging curriculum to our students. We are finding that many of our younger high school students have the ability to be successful on both the International General Secondary Education (IGCSE) and Advanced International Certificate of Education (AS & A Levels) exams. This is a reflection of our teachers' dedication and commitment along with a strong student work ethic. I am extremely proud of the district for receiving this award a second time and congratulate our teachers and students on this accomplishment," said Lee Childress, superintendent of the Corinth School District.

The New York Knicks are expected to be one of the most active teams on the trade market in the 2022 NBA offseason. With the Kemba Walker experiment turning into a massive failure and Coach Tom Thibodeau's lack of trust in Immanuel Quickley, most people believe that the Knicks would search for a new starting point guard this summer. In the past months, the Knicks have already been linked to several quality floor generals who could soon become available on the trading block.
NBA Rumors: Knicks Could Acquire Ben Simmons For Julius Randle, Alec Burks & Draft Pick In Proposed Trade
Ben Simmons To Knicks
One of the players that the Knicks could pursue on the trade market is Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets. According to Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, Simmons could potentially become the "best available" trade target for the Knicks in their search for a franchise point guard in the 2022 NBA offseason. The Nets are yet to make Simmons available on the trading block but with the uncertainties surrounding his physical and mental health and questionable fit with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, there's a growing belief around the league that they will try to move him this summer.
Proposed Knicks-Nets Trade
In his article, Swartz came up with a hypothetical blockbuster trade idea that would enable the Knicks to acquire Simmons from the Nets in the 2022 NBA offseason. In the proposed trade scenario, the Knicks would be sending a trade package that includes Julius Randle, Alec Bucks, and a 2023 second-round pick to the Nets in exchange for Simmons. The Nets would definitely love to receive more assets in return but with Simmons' current state, they are in a no position to make huge demands.
Ben Simmons A Worthy Gamble For Knicks
The proposed blockbuster deal would be beneficial for the Knicks. Aside from addressing their major backcourt problem, the suggested trade would also enable them to get rid of Randle and the $117 million that he's owed over the next four years. Simmons may still have some major flaws in his game but when he's 100 percent healthy, he could make an impact on both ends of the floor.
Aside from being an incredible playmaker, Simmons would also give the Knicks a very reliable scorer, a great rebounder, and an elite defender. At 25, he perfectly fits the timeline of the Knicks' young core of RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Obi Toppin, and Quickley.
Why Nets Would Make The Trade
Though it won't give them their preferred return for Simmons, the hypothetical deal would still be worth exploring for the Nets. By sending Simmons to New York, the Nets would be acquiring an All-Star-caliber big man who can space the floor in Randle and a veteran sharpshooter in Burks.
"Getting Randle (20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists this past season) would beef up a frontcourt that's cycled through end-of-their career vets in recent years," Swartz wrote. "Burks is a versatile wing who can handle the ball and defend multiple positions, and getting next year's second-rounder from the Knicks adds some much-needed draft capital as well." | https://www.inquisitr.com/10007313/nba-rumors-knicks-could-acquire-ben-simmons-for-julius-randle-a | 2022-05-12T17:39:53Z | https://www.inquisitr.com/10007313/nba-rumors-knicks-could-acquire-ben-simmons-for-julius-randle-a | true | 1 |
The incident took place between 9.45am and 10.45am today, Thursday, May 12, on Melrose Road.
The man is described as being late 20s/30s, with ginger hair and a beard, wearing a light blue T shirt.
Police Sergeant Dale Hadden of Galashiels Police Station said: “We think the vehicle was a white jeep style car, possibly a Nissan. The vehicle was travelling east from Galashiels in the direction of Gattonside.
“The girl was shocked but unhurt by the incident. Nonetheless, officers want to speak to the driver of the car to establish the circumstances.
“I would ask that anyone who was in the area around that time and saw the vehicle, to get in touch with us, also if anyone has dash cam footage that could assist our enquiries we would like to hear from you.”
Anyone with any information that may be useful should contact Police Scotland, on 101 quoting 1001 of Thursday, 12 May, 2022.

President Joe Biden appealed to world leaders on Thursday for a renewed international commitment to attacking COVID-19 as he led the U.S. in marking the approaching “tragic milestone” of 1 million deaths at home from the virus. He ordered flags lowered to half-staff and warned against “complacency” around the globe.
“This pandemic isn’t over,” Biden told the second global pandemic summit. “Today, we mark a tragic milestone here in the United States, 1 million COVID deaths — 1 million empty chairs around the family dinner table.”
The coronavirus has killed more than 999,000 people in the U.S. and at least 6.2 million people globally since it emerged in late 2019, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Biden issued a proclamation Thursday directing that U.S. flags be flown at half-staff through sunset on Monday to honor those who lost their lives to the virus.
The president called on Congress to provide more funding for testing, vaccines and treatments, something lawmakers have been unwilling to deliver so far.
The lack of funding — Biden has requested another $22.5 billion of what he calls critically needed money — is a reflection of faltering resolve at home that jeopardizes the global response to the pandemic.
Eight months after he used the first such summit to announce an ambitious pledge to donate 1.2 billion vaccine doses to the world, the urgency of the U.S. and other nations to respond has waned.
Momentum on vaccinations and treatments has faded even as more infectious variants rise and billions of people across the globe remain unprotected.
Biden addressed the opening of the virtual summit Thursday morning with prerecorded remarks and made the case that tackling COVID-19 “must remain an international priority.” The U.S. is co-hosting the summit along with Germany, Indonesia, Senegal and Belize.
“This summit is an opportunity to renew our efforts to keep our foot on the gas when it comes to getting this pandemic under control and preventing future health crises,” Biden said.
The U.S. has shipped nearly 540 million vaccine doses to more than 110 countries and territories, according to the State Department — by far more than any other donor nation.
After the delivery of more than 1 billion vaccines to the developing world, the problem is no longer that there aren’t enough shots but a lack of logistical support to get doses into arms. According to government data, more than 680 million donated vaccine doses have been left unused in developing countries because they were set to expire soon and couldn’t be administered quickly enough. As of March, 32 poorer countries had used fewer than half of the COVID-19 vaccines they were sent.
U.S. assistance to promote and facilitate vaccinations overseas dried up earlier this year, and Biden has requested about $5 billion for the effort through the rest of the year.
“We have tens of millions of unclaimed doses because countries lack the resources to build out their cold chains, which basically is the refrigeration systems; to fight disinformation; and to hire vaccinators,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week. She added that the summit is “going to be an opportunity to elevate the fact that we need additional funding to continue to be a part of this effort around the world.”
“We’re going to continue to fight for more funding here,” Psaki said. “But we will continue to press other countries to do more to help the world make progress as well.”
Congress has balked at the price tag for COVID-19 relief and has thus far refused to take up the package because of political opposition to the impending end of pandemic-era migration restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border. Even after a consensus for virus funding briefly emerged in March, lawmakers decided to strip out the global aid funding and solely focus the assistance on shoring up U.S. supplies of vaccine booster shots and therapeutics.
Biden has warned that without Congress acting, the U.S. could lose out on access to the next generation of vaccines and treatments, and that the nation won’t have enough supply of booster doses or the antiviral drug Paxlovid for later this year. He’s also sounding the alarm that more variants will spring up if the U.S. and the world don’t do more to contain the virus globally.
“To beat the pandemic here, we need to beat it everywhere,” Biden said last September during the first global summit.
Demand for COVID-19 vaccines has dropped in some countries as infections and deaths have declined globally in recent months, particularly as the omicron variant has proved to be less severe than earlier versions of the disease. For the first time since it was created, the U.N.-backed COVAX effort has “enough supply to enable countries to meet their national vaccination targets,” according to vaccines alliance Gavi CEO Dr. Seth Berkley, which fronts COVAX.
Still, despite more than 65% of the world’s population receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, fewer than 16% of people in poor countries have been immunized. It is highly unlikely countries will hit the World Health Organization target of vaccinating 70% of all people by June.
In countries including Cameroon, Uganda and the Ivory Coast, officials have struggled to get enough refrigerators to transport vaccines, send enough syringes for mass campaigns and get enough health workers to inject the shots. Experts also point out that more than half of the health workers needed to administer the vaccines in poorer countries are either underpaid or not paid at all.
Donating more vaccines, critics say, would miss the point entirely.
“It’s like donating a bunch of fire trucks to countries that are on fire, but they have no water,” said Ritu Sharma, a vice president at the charity CARE, which has helped immunize people in more than 30 countries, including India, South Sudan and Bangladesh.
“We can’t be giving countries all these vaccines but no way to use them,” she said, adding that the same infrastructure that got the shots administered in the U.S. is now needed elsewhere. “We had to tackle this problem in the U.S., so why are we not now using that knowledge to get vaccines into the people who need them most?”
Sharma said greater investment was needed to counter vaccine hesitancy in developing countries where there are entrenched beliefs about the potential dangers of Western-made medicines.
“Leaders must agree to pursue a coherent strategy to end the pandemic instead of a fragmented approach that will extend the lifespan of this crisis,” said Gayle Smith, CEO of The ONE Campaign.
GAVI’s Berkley also said that countries are increasingly asking for the pricier messenger RNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna, which are not as easily available as the AstraZeneca vaccine, which made up the bulk of COVAX’s supply last year.
The emergence of variants like delta and omicron has led many countries to switch to mRNA vaccines, which seem to provide more protection and are in greater demand globally than traditionally made vaccines like those from China and Russia.

HAVANA – Alejandro Clemente González was talking with an electrician while preparing for weekend services at Cuba's most important Baptist church when an enormous explosion shook the building and shattered the 19th century dome towering far above the pews.
Concrete plunged from walls, wood and glass showered down from the windows as an apparent gas explosion next door killed at least 44 people in and around the devastated Hotel Saratoga in Old Havana on May 6.
“I didn't know what was happening," the church administrator said with a trembling voice as he revisited the sanctuary with Associated Press journalists on Wednesday. “I called on the Lord, ‘What is this, Lord? Help us!’”
He said the two men heard the cries of a receptionist as debris tumbled down around them, obstructing their path.
“I remembered that there was an exit at the back, and then the brothers who were on the third floor came down, we all met, we counted one another,” and managed to escape. All 18 people who had been inside were physically unharmed, if shaken.
“Since then I have slept badly. I jump at every sound,” González said.
Parts of the upper floors have collapsed at the building that houses not only Calvary Baptist Church but a seminary and the denomination's headquarters for western Cuba.
Sunlight glows through cracks in the outer walls, windows are shattered, their frames torn from the walls. Halls and rooms of the broken hotel are visible through a gap. A thick layer of gray dust covers the dark wood pews where hundreds meet for worship services.
The famous, elegant building now known as the Teatro Marti was just a few years old when, in 1887, Baptists began holding services across the street on a corner in Old Havana that had once held a circus. Cuba was still a Spanish colony and its Capitol building — modeled on the U.S. Capitol — wouldn't be built nearby for a few decades yet.
The Baptists bought the property in 1889 and gradually established the church, a printing house, a school, a seminary and the headquarters that now serves about 70,000 Baptists in western Cuba. Overall, the church estimates there about about 200,000 Baptists across the whole island.
“For each believer, each Christian, each Baptist who comes, this is their home,” said the Rev. David González, 31, who has lived for the past two years in an apartment beside the church that is now partially collapsed.
Government authorities so far have focused emergency efforts on trying to find the living and the dead in and around the devastated hotel — on Thursday they reported another death — but they did meet with church officials about the status of the church.
“They transmitted to us a desire to help as much as passible,” said the Rev. Bárbaro Abel Marrero Castellanos, president of the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba. “It's clear there aren't all the resources needed for restauration and they also asked us to collect help, which as we know has been offered by churches in the country itself ... and also in the world.”
“We still don't know exactly the magnitude of the damage," he said, adding that some specialists have said they might have to evaluate possibly demolishing parts of the structure.
Since the building is registered as part of the country's historical heritage, repairs would be under the auspices of the Havana Historian's Office, which has overseen the restauration of much of Old Havana in recent decades.
“We are actively going to involve ourselves in this process and with all the brothers, friends who have offered to help, we hope to make a beautiful project," Marrero said.
Meanwhile, members of the church are attending other congregations, though the government offered to help find temporary space for those from Calvary.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (CBS13) — A man convicted of shooting a killing a gas station clerk in South Lake Tahoe in 2013 has been sentenced to 50-years-to-life behind bars.
More than eight years after gas station clerk Manpreet Singh was gunned down while on the job, his killer, Sean Donohoe, received a hefty prison sentence, according to the El Dorado County DA’s Office.

The shooting happened on the evening of August 6, 2013, after Singh refused to sell alcohol to a drunk friend of Donohoe. Donohoe then entered the gas station dressed in all black and wearing a mask and shot Singh once, hitting his heart and both lungs.
Years later, a civilian who viewed a surveillance video released by the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, tipped off authorities to Donohoe. A subsequent DNA test on the mask linked Donohoe to the shooting.
On March 1, 2022, Donohoe was found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting.
“Justice has been served in this senseless murder,” said El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596092275347/bhc-woman-accused-of-shooting-man-in-foot | 2022-05-12T17:53:14Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596092275347/bhc-woman-accused-of-shooting-man-in-foot | false | 70 |
Dr. Jerry Wallace hired as president of Danville Virginia Community College
Dr. Jerry Wallace has been named the next president of Danville Community College. Wallace’s hiring concludes a national search that attracted 63 candidates.
“The Danville community is working hard to become a national, if not global, leader in advanced manufacturing. With Jerry Wallace’s leadership, Danville Community College will be a leader and dependable partner in that effort, creating the training opportunities the community needs to attract and retain businesses. Jerry offers impeccable workforce development credentials and experience,” said Glenn DuBois, the chancellor of Virginia’s Community Colleges. “And thanks to the terrific work that Dr. Muriel Mickles has done as DCC’s interim president, the college is ready to excel in its next chapter.”
Currently, Wallace is the campus president of the Hastings Campus of Nebraska Central Community College, where he has worked since 2019. Prior to that, he was dean of Workforce, Technical and Community Education from 2017 to 2019 at New River Community and Technical College in Beckley, W.Va.
“I’m very excited to join the Danville community and to lead DCC with a focus on student success and economic development-driven workforce development,” said Wallace. “I look forward to working with the college’s faculty and staff as we find ways to continually improve how we serve our students and broader communities.”
Wallace’s previous experience also includes serving as associate dean of continuing education, resident life director and enrollment services representative at colleges in Odessa, Texas, Montgomery, W.Va., and Muskegon, Mich.. He began his education career in K-12 schools in Michigan. Wallace earned a bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University; a master’s degree from Western Michigan University; an MBA from Maryville University; and doctorate from St. Thomas University.
“Dr. Wallace, I believe, will be an excellent president for our college’s workforce development programs. He offers a wealth of experience in that regard, and we look forward to having him join us,” said Carlyle Wimbish, chair of the Danville Community College Advisory Board. “And our board owes a debt of gratitude for the outstanding job that Dr. Muriel Mickles did in her year as our college’s interim president. She accomplished a lot in her time in that role.”
Wallace becomes DCC’s seventh president when he begins the job in July.
DCC is a two-year institution of higher education under the statewide Virginia Community College System. DCC’s service area includes the City of Danville, Pittsylvania County, and Halifax County. | https://augustafreepress.com/dr-jerry-wallace-hired-as-president-of-danville-virginia-community-college/ | 2022-05-12T17:53:35Z | https://augustafreepress.com/dr-jerry-wallace-hired-as-president-of-danville-virginia-community-college/ | true | 1 |
The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol announced Thursday that it is subpoenaing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and several other GOP lawmakers.
They include Congressmen Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks.
"These members include those who participated in meetings at the White House, those who had direct conversations with President Trump leading up to and during the attack, and those who were involved in the planning and coordination of certain activities on and before January 6th," the committee said in a statement on Twitter.
The committee said it had already sent letters to the members, asking them to cooperate with the investigation voluntarily, but none of them have complied.
"Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th," said Chairman Bennie G. Thompson. "We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done.”
The committee plans on holding public hearings next month. | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/jan-6-committee-subpoenas-kevin-mccarthy-other-gop-lawmakers | 2022-05-12T17:53:45Z | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/jan-6-committee-subpoenas-kevin-mccarthy-other-gop-lawmakers | false | 10 |
Robert Carlyle, who is reprising his role as Gary, can be seen wearing a Sheffield United shirt and looking very different to how he did in 1997, when the celebrated film was released.
Paul Barber, who plays Horse, can be seen whizzing around in a mobility scooter decorated with the green, yellow and black of the Jamaican flag.
Hugo Speer, Tom Wilkinson and Steve Huison are among the other returning cast members pictured in these first shots of scenes being filmed in Manchester, where the action appears to be centred around The Big Baps Cafe.
The spin-off TV series, announced in March, will pick up the action 25 years after the heartwarming film about a group of unemployed steelworkers who turn to stripping to make ends meet first won fans around the world.
As well as the cast members listed above, Mark Addy as Dave, Lesley Sharp as Jean, and Wim Snape as Nathan are all returning, with the comedy drama series also reuniting the film’s screenwriter Simon Beaufoy and producer Uberto Pasolini.
Disney+ said when the TV series was announced that filming would take place in Manchester and Sheffield but it is not known if any scenes have yet been shot in Sheffield.
The makers said the series would follow the original characters as they ‘navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education and employment sectors’.
“The series will explore the brighter, sillier and more humane way forward where communal effort can still triumph over adversity,” they added. | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/arts-and-culture/film-and-tv/the-full-monty-photos-show-filming-for-disney-tv-series-including-robert-carlyle-in-sheffield-united-shirt-3692197 | 2022-05-12T17:54:41Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/arts-and-culture/film-and-tv/the-full-monty-photos-show-filming-for-disney-tv-series-including-robert-carlyle-in-sheffield-united-shirt-3692197 | true | 2 |
“Exile On Main St stands apart from other Stones albums, even other Stones albums from that period,” says The War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. “It’s not just that it’s a double album. It’s not just the circumstances in which it was recorded. There’s something about it – a vibe, a feeling. It has such a sound. The horns, the R&B, the blues. I listen to Exile all the time and still get blown away by it.”
Released 50 years ago in May, Exile On Main St (working title: Tropical Disease) brought into focus the Stones’ gifts for music, myth-making and self-publicity in one fairly explosive package. On the run from the taxman, in April 1971 the Stones decamped to Villa Nellcôte – Keith Richards’ rented waterfront residence at Villefranche-sur-Mer on the Côte D’Azur – where, as a beautiful entourage socialised upstairs, the band alchemised their masterpiece in the mansion’s spacious basement.
“You can dive into the mythology of Exile, look at photos and imagine what it might have been like to have been there for a weekend,” says Kurt Vile. “What the days would have been like, and the nights, down in that murky basement, making music, hanging out with Gram Parsons. It’s pretty amazing.”
While the sessions at Nellcôte provided Exile with its source material and muggy atmosphere, the album was the result of several years’ worth of work, beginning at Olympic Studios in London during June 1969 and finishing with the overdubbing-and-mixing sessions at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, in March 1972. Despite the dark mythology of their problematic tax situation, the nocturnal lifestyles, break-ins and drug busts at Nellcôte, Exile proved to be a testament to the band’s iron will. “It was about proving that it doesn’t matter what you throw at The Rolling Stones, we can come up with the goods,” Richards later told Uncut.
“Exile is like a punk rock record,” says Royal Trux’s Jennifer Herrema. “It was a one-take situation for most all of the songs. I think that was important. Nothing had to be perfect – even though Exile is perfect! – and then they took it from France to LA to make it sparkle. The album artwork by Robert Frank features photos from his book The Americans… it all sums up ‘exile’ for the Stones. Like, where do we belong? Nowhere, but everywhere.” | https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/interviews/rolling-stones-exile-on-main-street-50-anniversary-kurt-vile-cat-power-138366/ | 2022-05-12T17:54:53Z | https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/interviews/rolling-stones-exile-on-main-street-50-anniversary-kurt-vile-cat-power-138366/ | false | 2 |
TEEN Mom Leah Messer has responded to her former BFF Kailyn Lowry's dis on Tuesday night's season finale.
Kailyn slammed Leah claiming her co-star doesn't share the messy details of her relationships with her baby daddies on the show.
Leah subtly clapped back at her ex-gal pal's claims by liking a tweet defending the West Virginia native.
The tweet read: "What we not gone do is throw Leah under the bus. Kail acting like we didn’t see allll the drama from the messy car, addiction, slurring her words, messy divorce… Leah filmed it ALL! #TeenMom2."
The young mom previously opened up about her past drug addiction, and rehab stay in her memoir, Hope, Grace & Faith.
The 30-year-old claimed that she suffered a “botched” spinal tap in 2013 when she had a C-section with her youngest daughter Addalyn, who she shares with ex-husband Jeremy Calvert.
The MTV personality penned in the book that the hospital prescribed her painkillers: Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and Tylenol 3.
Leah explained how she struggled with depression and anxiety but that the opioids sent her "over the edge," which was the beginning of her substance abuse.
The TV star - who is also mom to twin daughters, Ali and Aleeah, 12, with ex Corey Simms - was often filmed slurring her words and nodding off mid-sentence on the show.
Leah lost custody of her twins for a short period in 2015; however, she and Corey now share the girls 50/50.
Most read in Entertainment
She then entered a treatment facility after Teen Mom 2 producers viewed GoPro footage of her attempting to commit suicide by driving off a cliff.
'I'M NOT RESPECTED'
Despite Leah's openness about her drug use, Kailyn didn't feel like she received equal treatment as her co-stars, prompting her to lash out at producers.
One of the producers flat out asked her: "What are your issues with filming this show?"
Kailyn spat back: “Everything that I do is, like, babysat and watched. Like they're [producers] hounding me to talk about my baby dads.”
The 30-year-old then compared her experience on the show to her ex-BFF Leah, who also has multiple baby daddies.
"Where's Leah [Messer] talking about Corey [Simms] and Jeremy [Calvert]," she asked, referencing her fellow MTV star's daughters' fathers.
"I don't want to give you stuff that I'm doing when I'm not respected in the same way as them," Kailyn continued.
GIRL FIGHT
She and Leah's ongoing feud might have also fueled Kailyn's comments on the season finale.
Though the pair have fought on and off for years, their most recent spat is thought to stem from Leah's newfound friendship with Kailyn's nemesis, Briana DeJesus.
In March, The Sun exclusively revealed that the feud between Kailyn and Leah kicked off because of Briana.
An insider said: "Kail unfollowing Leah comes down to Briana.
"Once Briana and Leah were on the Teen Mom Family Reunion and Leah wasn’t mean to Briana, that didn’t sit well with Kail."
The source continued: "It should be noted that Leah did walk away when Kail was brought up and made Briana aware she didn’t want to discuss Kail as she’s friends with her but Leah was still nice to Briana."
The insider added: "After the Family Reunion trip, Leah and Briana have stayed friendly and Briana frequently comments on Leah’s pics.
"While Kail used to comment all the time on Leah’s pics, that seemed to stop once Briana began commenting and, as we’ve all seen, Kail now unfollowed Leah."
Briana, 27, later confirmed that she is the reason for her co-stars' beef in a since-deleted exchange with a fan.
CAST SHAKEUPS
Kailyn has since opted to quit the franchise after her over a decade-long run on the show.
In a Facebook post, the mom of four wrote: "I am done! Declined the new show, TMFR & girls night in."
Leah is also rumored to be leaving the show after she posted a cryptic message during the finale.
"I'll forever be grateful for the memories, experiences, lessons, opportunities and friends/coworkers that have become family over the years," she captioned.
Above played a preview clip from the Season 11 finale, and she concluded her caption: "#teenmom2" with a heart and prayer emoji.

Max Verstappen is a better driver than Lewis Hamilton, who would struggle in Dutchman’s car, says Red Bull boss
MAX VERSTAPPEN is better than Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes champ would struggle if they had to swap cars, claims Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
Brit chief Horner - married to former Spice Girl Geri - reckons fellow Englishman George Russell's outing in Hamilton's car last season proved Verstappen, 24, is superior.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton, 37, was KO'd by coronavirus for the Sakhir Grand Prix and Williams driver Russell deputised.
Russell qualified in second place just 0.026s behind the other Mercedes driven by Valtteri Bottas and was leading the race by ten seconds before problems in the pit and with his tyres cost him a maiden win.
Horner, 48, told RacingNews365 last year: "I think Verstappen is the best, and George Russell’s performance at Mercedes confirmed that for me.
"Max and Lewis stand out for me but, while we should definitely not be blind to what Hamilton has achieved, he does have a good package at his disposal.
"While Max has to get more out of his car.
"At Mercedes, a Williams driver can qualify himself directly on the front row and Russell almost won the race.
"However, if at Red Bull someone has to get into Verstappen’s car, for example if Max had corona, then nobody will reach his level."
Hamilton was knighted by the Queen in the New Year's Honours list and also picked up the BBC Sports Personality of the Year gong for 2020.
The Stevenage-born icon eclipsed Michael Schumacher's record of 91 wins to fuel the GOAT debate.
Rival Sebastian Vettel insisted Schumacher is the greatest while Hamilton slammed critics 'with a bee in their bonnet'.
Verstappen finished third behind the two Mercedes in 2020, but last year he achieved his dream of becoming F1 champ.
After a slow start to the campaign, Verstappen has got his World Championship challenge back underway by winning Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the end of April. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596429624092/max-verstappen-is-a-better-driver-than-lewis-hamilton-who-would-struggle-in-dutchman-s-car-says-red-bull-boss | 2022-05-12T18:02:44Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596429624092/max-verstappen-is-a-better-driver-than-lewis-hamilton-who-would-struggle-in-dutchman-s-car-says-red-bull-boss | true | 2 |
Hadley woman arragined on animal cruelty charges
BELCHERTOWN, MA (WGGB/WSHM) – A Hadley woman appeared before a judge Thursday in connection with an animal cruelty case.
Laurie Loisel, spokesperson for the Northwestern District Attorney’s office, said that Shannon Rice-Nichols pleaded not guilty in Eastern Hampshire District Court on 35 counts of felony animal cruelty.
The charges against Rice-Nichols come after a local and state investigation that began in March into alleged neglect and malnourishment of goats and cows at an Amherst farm where she was boarding the animals.
Due to their conditions, two goats and one cow had to be euthanized. The MSPCA has offered eight head of Kerry cattle, a Holstein cow, and 22 goats up for adoption.
Following her arraignment Thursday, Rice-Nichols was released on personal recognizance with conditions that she stay away from the farm and not possess any farm animals.

Stolen dog reunited with her original family 5 years later
BELOIT, Wis. (WMTV/Gray News) - A dog stolen from her family has finally been reunited with them after five years.
The Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin recently announced the happy reunion between Ginger and her owner Barney, according to WMTV.
The agency said that Ginger was stolen from her family about five years ago.
Since then, her family did all they could to get her back and investigated any lost dog that resembled their own, only to be let down.
However, their luck changed when the Beloit Police Department posted a picture on Facebook of a stray dog they found in hopes of reuniting her with her owner.
The dog was taken to the Humane Society where they continued the search.
They reported Barney called a few days later, hoping the lost dog was his Ginger. When he came to the shelter to make sure it was her, the Humane Society reported there was no doubt.
The moment they were reunited, it was as if not a day had gone by.
“The excitement on the family’s faces, as well as Ginger’s, when they were finally reunited, was beyond memorable,” the Humane Society said in a statement.
The family took Ginger back home where she is making up for lost time and getting acclimated to the dogs they adopted while she was gone. She also discovered her human family grew a little with the birth of another child.

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Juniper Networks Inc (Symbol: JNPR) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Juniper Networks Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Thursday, shares of JNPR entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $30.01 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Juniper Networks Inc, the RSI reading has hit 29.5 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 38.3. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, JNPR's recent annualized dividend of 0.84/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 2.75% based upon the recent $30.57 share price.
A bullish investor could look at JNPR's 29.5 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on JNPR is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Today, Thursday May 12, is International Nurses' Day
On International Nurses’ Day, today Thursday May 11, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has called on the Government to invest more in the nursing profession and focus on introducing measures to retain nurses in the profession.
INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha said:
“Today is a day to celebrate nurses. We have been deeply humbled by the strong public support for our profession. Irish nurses and midwives are working in extremely challenging environments, dealing with a return to overcrowding while also dealing with the COVID pandemic, which is still a very real feature in Irish hospitals.
“We must ensure that nurses are given the support and resources they need to do their job. To provide safe care, we need to build up our staffing levels but also take every measure possible to retain those who are working within our health service.
On International Nurses Day we recognise the impact of COVID-19 on our workforce, and this week, for #IND2022 and #IDM2022, student nurses and midwives are calling for investment in their professions to ensure the future of our health service. pic.twitter.com/PmPh9pK5iQ
— Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation (@INMO_IRL) May 12, 2022
“There is a world-wide nursing shortage which is a huge threat to our health service. Our nursing graduates are in high demand right across the world.
“We need to do everything we can to make it an attractive option for newly qualified nurses to remain here in Ireland but also to attract recent graduates who may have travelled to work in Australia or in the NHS home.
“Nurses last week called on Minister Donnelly to establish a meaningful Bring Them Home campaign to bring young Irish nurses back into the Irish health system.

Health Officials Respond to Increasing Positive COVID-19 Cases In New Providence Schools
By Ministry of Health and Wellness
May 12, 2022 – 1:21:25 PM
Email this article
Mobile friendly page
The Ministry of Health & Wellness confirms that several schools on New Providence have reported positive cases of COVID-19 among staff and students. As of 10th May, 2022 thirty-eight (38) positive cases were reported over a four week period via molecular testing (or RT-PCR). These cases were dispersed over a number of schools; and represent a small proportion of the overall COVID-19 case loads. The Ministry also confirms that no clusters have been reported within schools in the Family Islands. While these numbers do not reflect an outbreak in our community the Ministry of Health & Wellness maintains that it is imperative that individuals continue to strictly adhere to the standard health safety protocols of hand sanitization, the appropriate wearing of masks – especially in closed quarters, and to isolate or quarantine as appropriate if suspected of / or testing positive for COVID-19 infections.
The Ministry wishes to further advise that contact tracing is an integral part of investigating cases and their possible linkages to others, which allows for the activation of isolation or quarantine measures. With regards to schools operating, the Ministry of Health & Wellness supports the accepted processes which involves making recommendations to the Ministry of Education & Technical and Vocational Training as it relates to permission for and conditions under which schools are to operate during a pandemic or other health emergency. The Ministry wishes to underscore the importance of strong relationships with schools and its Surveillance Unit/contact tracing team in guiding decisions to manage potential health challenges related to infectious diseases as such decisions have both academic and psychologic consequences on the nation’s students. That being said, the Ministry of Health & Wellness has not recommended the closure of any schools during the past several weeks.
For the benefit of the public the Ministry reminds that effective 8th May, 2022 the COVID-19 online vaccination site, vax.gov.bs was upgraded to accommodate the scheduling of 2nd Booster doses. Walk-ins can also receive Booster doses at vaccination centers. Information on 2nd boosters will automatically be included in the client’s existing record and shown on newly printed certificates and vaccination status checks using the vax.gov.bs site. 1st and 2nd dose vaccines, boosters and Extended Series – which is available to persons aged 12 and over who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, are available 1-3 months after a 2nd dose of AstraZeneca/Pfizer or a Johnson & Johnson single dose.

For the first time in quite a while, the Toffees go into a match as favourites, even more unusual in that Frank Lampard’s team are the visitors tonight at Vicarage Road and their record as the away team over the season is dreadful. This is mitigated by the fact that the Blues are coming off their first road victory since August, a 2-1 win over Leicester City on Sunday and the opponents are Watford, who were officially relegated at the weekend. Everton have hit form over the last month and those efforts have pulled the club clear of the relegation zone. This run has been built on a gritty, disciplined approach, rather than playing teams off the park and certainly Lampard will have ensured his players retain focus for tonight’s game, as any easing off - even against weaker opposition - could prove disastrous. Here, we take a look at Roy Hodgson’s Watford in a little detail. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596032841906/van-dijk-it-is-frustrating-to-drop-points | 2022-05-12T18:34:28Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2596032841906/van-dijk-it-is-frustrating-to-drop-points | true | 11 |

Bill is survived by his wife, Norma of Gridley, IL; two daughters: Julie (Dennis) Krugger, El Paso, IL, Joni (Roger) Loftsgard, Clermont, IA; and two sons; Mark (Kaylene) and John (Jill), both of Gridley. He is also survived by fourteen grandchildren: Jeremy Loftsgard, Joey (Crystal) Loftsgard, Christopher (Emily) Krugger, Benjamin (Sunita) Krugger, Marci Oncken, Katrina (Doug) Opperman, Jacqui Butikofer, Kristin Upton, Kayla (Justin) Samples, Kelley Butikofer, Whitney Waldschmidt, Nicole (Matthew) Gosling, Sydney Butikofer, Douglas (Tami) Schupbach; twenty-one great-grandchildren (with two more on the way); one brother, Paul, Elgin, IA; and one sister, Shirley Nester, of Lester, IA.
Bill was predeceased by his oldest son, Michael; and seven siblings: Anna, Harry, Rueben, Elizabeth Moore, Bert, Ruth Wiegand, and Albert.
Bill was a member of the Gridley Apostolic Christian Church. In his youth, he attended the Cheery Valley country school. On April 2, 1950, he was baptized and joined the Apostolic Christian Church in Elgin where he later served as a Sunday School teacher and song leader. In 1954, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served two years while stationed at Fort Sam Houston, TX, Germany, and California. Bill trained and served as a medic.
In early 1956, while still in Germany, Bill asked for Norma Lou Pulfer's hand in marriage. After returning to the U.S., Bill became very ill resulting in a year delay of the wedding, but Bill and Norma were finally married on March 31, 1957. They farmed for two years. After being advised by his doctor to find an alternative occupation, Bill enrolled in Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport in 1960. Bill and Norma moved to Elgin in 1967, set up a chiropractic practice, and later, a second practice in Elkader, IA. During this time, they were blessed with three sons and two daughters. In 1979, Bill and Norma, and their two youngest children moved to Gridley, IL. Bill worked at SMF in Minonk until he retired in 1996. In retirement, he worked with his son Mike in the carpentry business and volunteered many years at "Spare-N-Share" in Gridley.
During his life, Bill exhibited a deep love for God and his family. Like his siblings, he enjoyed conversation and visiting others. Bill had a naturally positive spirit and an excellent sense of humor. He enjoyed beekeeping, carpentry, woodworking, and caring for his lawn and flowers. He helped his family, church, and acquaintances on many projects.
In lieu of flowers, charitable contributions may be made to: Gridley Apostolic Christian Church Building Fund or Gridley Emergency Medical Services. Online condolences and tributes can be sent to the family at www.ruestmanharrisfuneralhome.com.

PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. (WGHP) — A person of interest in the death of a man found sitting on a lawnmower was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after being interviewed by deputies.
On Monday, just after 1 p.m. Surry County Sheriff’s Office found Vincent Lee Bray, 65, dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Deputies were joined by the NC SBI for further investigation into the homicide.
Investigators identified Michael Patrick Alford, 71, of Pilot Mountain, as a person of interest and interviewed him Monday evening about the incident. Alford and Bray allegedly had a history of not getting along, according to deputies.
Alford “abruptly concluded the interview” and walked away from the Surry County Sheriff’s Office.
On Tuesday, Alford was reported missing by his wife, who said she hadn’t spoken with Alford since he had been interviewed at the sheriff’s office.
Just after 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, deputies were called to the 400 block of Shoals Road in Pinnacle about a possible suicide. Deputies got to the location, described in the release as an open field, and found Alford dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The investigation is ongoing. | https://myfox8.com/news/person-of-interest-found-dead-after-deputy-interview-over-man-killed-on-lawnmower-in-pilot-mountain/ | 2022-05-12T18:44:15Z | https://myfox8.com/news/person-of-interest-found-dead-after-deputy-interview-over-man-killed-on-lawnmower-in-pilot-mountain/ | false | 3 |

Did you happen to catch the new Kardashians episode on Hulu? Because a lot happened, but most importantly Kendall Jenner attempted to make herself a snack. Emphasis on "attempted" because, reader, it did not go well.
Allow us to set the scene: Kendall shows up at her mom Kris Jenner's house and decides she wants a snack. Kris offers to have "the chef" whip her something up, but Kendall decides to bravely prepare herself a modest cucumber. However, she seems to have never seen a cucumber before and has little to no experience with cutting one, because this is the vibe:

Kendall's cucumber struggle was so acute that Kris offered to have her chef step in and cut the cucumber for Kendall, but she heroically persisted in the endeavor and managed to get a few slices out of it. And naturally, the moment didn't go unnoticed by the internet.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike will not run in the Preakness.
Owner Rich Dawson made the stunning announcement Thursday, 10 days before the race in Maryland. It means there will not be a Triple Crown winner for a fourth consecutive year.
Dawson said he and trainer Eric Reed agreed to stick with the initial plan for Rich Strike and rest him for five weeks.
Rich Strike, at 80-1, was the biggest long shot to win the Derby in more than a century. Only Donerail in 1913 paid more to win.
The plan now is to have Rich Strike ready to run in the Belmont Stakes on June 11. Dawson said it was best for the colt to get extra rest and not run back in two weeks at Pimlico.
Rich Strike was not expected to be the morning line favorite for the Preakness, with Derby runner-up Epicenter and Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath set to be part of the field.
With Rich Strike’s surprise withdrawal, the Derby champion has not run in the Preakness in 2019 or 2021. The races we’re run out of order in 2020 because of the pandemic.

In an unprecedented move, the House select committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has issued subpoenas for five House Republicans, including GOP leader Kevin McCarthy.
All five had previously been asked to appear voluntarily and quickly refused.
In addition to McCarthy, the panel also subpoenaed GOP Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scotty Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama.
The committee did not issue a subpoena for Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, who also rejected to testify voluntarily but said he was not part of documented text messages from extremist groups to provide him protection on Jan. 6.
"Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we're forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th," the panel said in a release Thursday. "We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done."
There is little history of a congressional committee issuing subpoenas for members of Congress. The move now escalates the war between House Republicans opposed to the investigation and the committee.
The panel's members have wrestled with the decision on whether to issue subpoenas for members for months, and had signaled they may not want to set such a precedent. This has been a concern for them, especially as the House could move into Republican hands next year and the GOP could look to return the favor through their own probes into President Biden's administration and other Democrats.

Guwahati, May 12: A fire that broke out at the old Borgaon dumping ground around eight days ago has caused severe air pollution in the southern outskirts of the city.
Especially, nearby areas of the dumping ground are covered by heavy smoke which is causing severe breathing problems to many of the area. Officials of Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) claimed that the fire was completely extinguished by this evening due to continuous heavy rainfall. On the other hand, locals said some small portions in the interior parts of the dumping ground are still burning.
During a visit by this reporter, an employee of GMC present at the site said that although they were not sure about the cause of the fire, it is assumed that some rage-pickers might have smoked cigarettes or bidi inside the dumping ground and threw the burning buds to the garbage.
"The fire broke out in the interior part of the dumping ground where it is not possible to send a fire brigade to douse the fire. Still, initially we called the fire brigade, but they failed to control the fire. Later we used a Fokland excavator to control the fire, but that attempt also went futile," the GMC employee told The Assam Tribune.
On the other hand, Simanta Jyoti Barua, an official of GMC, said that the fire had resulted from the methane gas produced from the garbage. Barua also said that on Thursday evening the fire was completely doused after incessant rainfall in the area.
GMC had started the dumping ground in 2008 and following the intervention of the National Green Tribunal, the dumping ground was closed in 2021. Now GMC is carrying out recycling of the waste at the site.
According to environmental activists, during the period of its operation, GMC used to dump around 500-800 tons of garbage in the dumping ground every day.
Notably, the dumping ground was signified as a serious threat to the Deepor Beel and till date it is causing serious harm to the Ramsar site. Although recycling of waste has been under way for the last few months, sources at GMC said that it will take around three years to recycle the entire waste of the dumping ground.
Explaining the loopholes of the dumping ground, a study report of Pollution Control Board, Assam said, "The dumping ground at Boragaon does not conform to all specifications of a proper landfill site. Garbage from the entire city is being dumped without proper segregation. The leachate collection facility is also not available. As all types of garbage are dumped in this site, the dump may endanger the environment in and around the site, particularly the soil and groundwater quality apprehended to be contaminated. The Ramsar site-Deepor Beel is in close proximity to the dumping site. The leachate from the dumping site may perhaps contaminate the beel water as evident from occasional death of fish in Deepor beel."
The GMC has also drawn flak from locals and environment activists over its failure in controlling the fire.
Criticizing GMC over the incident, Promod Kalita, an environment activist of the area said, "The incident has proved the inefficiency and negligence of the GMC authority in managing the dumping ground. They miserably failed in controlling the fire. If the rain did not come then it would cause serious harm to a large part of the area. On the other hand, we also have doubts that fire might be a way to save the fund which has been earmarked to carry out the recycling of garbage." | https://assamtribune.com/guwahati/7-days-on-boragaons-landfill-still-on-fire-1369375 | 2022-05-12T18:54:50Z | https://assamtribune.com/guwahati/7-days-on-boragaons-landfill-still-on-fire-1369375 | false | 1 |

The US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing a case concerning whether the President personally has the authority to suspend new oil- and gas-lease sales. The particular case centers on climate change concerns as the rationale, but the authority is much broader than that, or it’s non-existent.
The State plaintiffs argue that
a 1987 law dictating the ways in which oil and gas leases will be sold stipulates that a sale must be held at least four times annually in states with eligible land. … “…President Biden put his campaign promises above federal law: By executive fiat, he halted oil and gas leasing on federal lands.”
President Joe Biden’s (D) government employee lawyers argue that
the US president is not an “agency” and therefore not subject to the Administrative Procedure Act.
Biden’s argument strikes me as a frivolous quibble, and the States should win, with the Appellate court upholding the district court’s ruling that, in essence, in this sort of context, a President is, too, an “agency,” and so he has no such authority.
The question can be made non-existent in future, though, with a straightforward fix (however politically difficult it might be to enact): at least on Federal property, make oil- and gas-leasing and -permitting a will-issue matter with licensing requirements, including environmental questions and leasing costs, explicitly barred from being used as barriers to leasing and permitting. | http://aplebessite.com/2022/05/12/one-way-to-make-the-question-moot/ | 2022-05-12T18:57:43Z | http://aplebessite.com/2022/05/12/one-way-to-make-the-question-moot/ | true | 1 |
Senate confirms Powell for 2nd term as Fed fights inflation
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday confirmed Jerome Powell for a second four-year term as Federal Reserve chair, giving bipartisan backing to Powell’s high-stakes efforts to curb the highest inflation in four decades.
The 80-19 vote reflected broad support in Congress for the Fed’s drive to combat surging prices through a series of sharp interest rate hikes that could extend well into next year. The Fed’s goal is to slow borrowing and spending enough to ease the inflation pressures.
Since February, when his first term expired, Powell had been leading the central bank in a temporary capacity.
He faces a difficult and risky task in trying to quell inflation without weakening the economy so much as to cause a recession. The job market remains robust and has strengthened to a point that Powell has said is “too hot” and is contributing to an overheating economy.
Spiking prices across the economy have caused pain for millions of Americans whose wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of such necessities as food, gas and rent. And the prospect of steadily higher interest rates has unsettled the financial markets, with stock prices having tumbled for weeks.
Powell’s support Thursday in the Senate was roughly in line with what he received four years ago, after he was first nominated as Chair by President Donald Trump. At that time, the Senate voted 84-13 to confirm him.
Powell’s confirmation comes even as many economists have sharply criticized the Fed for waiting too long to respond to worsening inflation, making its task harder and riskier.
In the past, members of Congress often objected to higher interest rates out of fear that they would cause job losses. The chronically high inflation of the 1970s has been attributed, in part, to political pressure that led the Fed to forego steep rate hikes under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Powell himself endured harsh criticism by Trump when the Fed raised rates in 2017 and 2018 after the unemployment rate had reached a half-century low of 3.5%. Powell reversed some of those hikes in 2019, after the economy had slowed in the aftermath of Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports.
This week, Biden said that while he would respect the Fed’s independence, he supported its efforts to raise borrowing rates, which have already caused the costs of mortgages, auto loans and business borrowing to surge.

Rivian issues first-ever recall over front airbag sensor issue
NORMAL, Ill. (WEEK/Gray News) - Electric vehicle maker Rivian has issued its first-ever vehicle recall over concerns about a sensor for the front airbag malfunctioning in certain R1T vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the Occupant Classification System on R1Ts produced from Sept. 21 through April 12 may not deactivate the airbag when a child or child seat occupies the front passenger seat. The recall affects 502 vehicles.
As of May 10, Rivian said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue.
The company will begin notifying affected customers not to seat children or use child seats in the passenger seat of the affected vehicles via emails, texts, and in-vehicle messaging on the center display as soon as possible. Rivian will mail notifications on or before July 1.
The supplier for the sensor has assumed the cost of seat replacement, according to a Rivian spokesperson.
Jesse White, the secretary of state for Illinois – where Rivian has a manufacturing plant – advises children to be kept in rear-facing safety seats for as long as possible, kept in the back seat through at least age 12 and to never place a rear-facing safety seat in front of an active airbag.
The Rivian spokesperson said in a statement:
“Rivian has determined that on certain R1T vehicles, the front passenger seat may not deactivate the front passenger airbag as required if a child seat or child is in that seat. In the event of a crash which deploys the front passenger airbag, a seat with this improper calibration may increase the risk of injury for any child or child seat occupant sitting in the seat.
“We are contacting those with affected Rivian vehicles, and they will receive a passenger seat replacement free of charge at a Rivian service center. In the meantime, infants and children should not be placed in the front passenger seat of affected Rivian vehicles until a front passenger seat replacement is complete.”

Middle School student told to change clothes to return to class
MAUMEE, Ohio (WTVG/Gray News) – A middle school student in Ohio was told to change her clothes after being accused of violating the school’s dress code.
According to WTVG, Logan Gray, 12, was wearing a short-sleeved collared dress over white tights with brown leather boots.
“My mom bought me a new dress and it was really pretty, so I decided I was going to wear it to school the next day,” Logan said. “I was very excited and ready to show it off to all my friends.”
Her mother, Francheska Gill, said it was an outfit her daughter would wear to church.
Logan said she was asked to go to the office within 30 minutes of her first class of the day.
“They said they had to measure it with a ruler, and that it was above the dress code, even though it was only a half-inch over,” Logan said.
Gill said the school notified her around 8:30 a.m. that her daughter had violated the dress code policy and was not allowed to return to class until she had a change of clothes.
“Her dad had to drive up to the school and bring a different change of clothes,” Gill said. “I was extremely upset. I was just like, why? I called the school and wanted to know why she was dress coded? Why she had to change?”
According to the Maumee City School District’s dress policy dresses, skirts and shorts must be no more than four inches above the knee cap.
Students are also not permitted to dress in a manner that would distract from or disrupt the education process.
The policy adds that “determination of appropriateness lies solely at the discretion of the building administration or his/her designee.”
“I don’t think that’s right. I don’t think that’s fair,” Gill said. “I think that is a terrible dress code rule or regulation.”
Gill posted a photo of her daughter in the outfit she wore to school on Facebook. Many people had commented in support of her statement.
Logan said she feels unfairly targeted due to her body type.
“It kind of made me feel really bad because there was a lot of other people who were wearing stuff above the dress code,” she said.
“She even made the comment that she was going to work really hard this summer to lose a bunch of weight just so next year when she goes to school, she won’t have these issues,” her mother added.
In response, Maumee City School District shared the following statement:
The Maumee City Schools board of education has approved a dress code policy that applies to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Students are not sent home from school for dress code violations, rather they are provided with options: (1) change into something that is laundered and provided to them by the school and continue the school day or (2) the office contacts a parent or family member who brings something to school so the student can change and continue the school day.
The dress code policy is included in all student handbooks and discussed with students by staff members throughout the school year. In addition, the dress code policy is reviewed every few years by a group of students, parents, and staff members.

Guardians of the Galaxy Star Sean Gunn Celebrates Disney World's New Ride
Guardians of the Galaxy star Sean Gunn celebrated Walt Disney World's new ride this week. Epcot will soon have tons of Marvel fans running around waiting for a chance to experience the newest ride. Cosmic Rewind is a roller coaster that takes place inside like Space Mountain, but the experience ratchets things up quite a bit. Gunn looks in awe of the entire thing on Instagram. James Gunn had personal input on the storyline for the Guardians during the ride. It's an impressive piece of engineering seeing as how its one of few coasters that has a good experience no matter where you end up sitting. For all the Guardians actors, this has been a wild trip. There are so many emotions to process as the filming for Volume 3 has come to a close. Then, add on the emotional weight of this celebration of their work, and it's enough to make just about anyone a little misty-eyed.
Gunn said on Instagram, "Many thanks to all the awesome folks at @waltdisneyworld who made our trip so much magical fun. You gotta ride the #guardiansofthegalaxycosmicrewind! It's a total blast!"
Eternals writer Kaz Firpo talked to The Direct about how the Celestials will come into play for the Guardians going forward. "We talked about it at length, but it's one of those things where I think that maybe Guardians [Vol. 3] will have something to say about it… Ego's a really fascinating character, whether he's lying or not, that's a question," Firpo said. Fans are going to book their ticket for James Gunn's next Marvel film as soon as possible for answers.
The writer continued, "I think that you've seen the Celestials now in our film, what they are, what they're capable of, the fact that they are truly as large as planets, give birth to suns, and they're immortal space gods—even more than our tiny little immortal space gods. So I think it's going to be something that we're going to continue to get to explore a little bit ... and I think that you know, as far as we know, the Eternals haven't met Ego. They don't even know who he is. Was he an imposter? I don't know, but I'm excited to see James Gunn's Guardians 3 as much as you are."
Comicbook.com's Brandon Davis reviewed the ride after visiting the park. He believes Cosmic Rewind raises the bar for Disney coasters at every park.
"With Disney World and Disneyland starting to explore Marvel-themed rides following the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster proves to be their best effort yet. It tells a story from start to finish and offers plenty of Marvel Easter eggs along the way, features the cast to add an exciting level of authenticity, and would be a fun roller coaster with or without visual moments of Starblasters zipping by or circling a massive Moon with "Conga" thumping in your ears. It has just about everything anyone looking for a marvelous experience wants."
Are you excited to try Cosmic Rewind for yourself? Let us know down in the comments! | https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cosmic-rewind-disney-world-sean-gunn-celebrates-new-ride/ | 2022-05-12T19:07:14Z | https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cosmic-rewind-disney-world-sean-gunn-celebrates-new-ride/ | false | 1 |
Senate confirms Powell for 2nd term as Fed fights inflation
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday confirmed Jerome Powell for a second four-year term as Federal Reserve chair, giving bipartisan backing to Powell’s high-stakes efforts to curb the highest inflation in four decades.
The 80-19 vote reflected broad support in Congress for the Fed’s drive to combat surging prices through a series of sharp interest rate hikes that could extend well into next year. The Fed’s goal is to slow borrowing and spending enough to ease the inflation pressures.
Since February, when his first term expired, Powell had been leading the central bank in a temporary capacity.
He faces a difficult and risky task in trying to quell inflation without weakening the economy so much as to cause a recession. The job market remains robust and has strengthened to a point that Powell has said is “too hot” and is contributing to an overheating economy.
Spiking prices across the economy have caused pain for millions of Americans whose wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of such necessities as food, gas and rent. And the prospect of steadily higher interest rates has unsettled the financial markets, with stock prices having tumbled for weeks.
Powell’s support Thursday in the Senate was roughly in line with what he received four years ago, after he was first nominated as Chair by President Donald Trump. At that time, the Senate voted 84-13 to confirm him.
Powell’s confirmation comes even as many economists have sharply criticized the Fed for waiting too long to respond to worsening inflation, making its task harder and riskier.
In the past, members of Congress often objected to higher interest rates out of fear that they would cause job losses. The chronically high inflation of the 1970s has been attributed, in part, to political pressure that led the Fed to forego steep rate hikes under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Powell himself endured harsh criticism by Trump when the Fed raised rates in 2017 and 2018 after the unemployment rate had reached a half-century low of 3.5%. Powell reversed some of those hikes in 2019, after the economy had slowed in the aftermath of Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports.
This week, Biden said that while he would respect the Fed’s independence, he supported its efforts to raise borrowing rates, which have already caused the costs of mortgages, auto loans and business borrowing to surge.

Heather Weems, who has been St. Cloud State's athletic director for the past 10 years, on Thursday was named commissioner of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. Weems replaces Josh Fenton, who left the NCHC to become commissioner of the Summit League.
Weems will start her new job on July 6 and has familiarity with the conference, which includes St. Cloud State as one of its eight members. She served as chair of the NCHC Athletic Council in 2021-22 and has been a member of the NCHC's Student-Athlete Well-Being Task Force since its formation in 2019. During her tenure at SCSU, the Huskies won three Penrose Cups as NCHC regular-season champions and advanced to their first NCAA Frozen Four championship game in 2021.
"As both a participant in and observer to the growth of the NCHC during my time as director of athletics at St. Cloud State University, I am both grateful and excited to transition into this new role as the leader of the conference,'' Weems said in a statement. "The hockey community is tightly connected, and I look forward to upholding the strong tradition and innovative spirit that has defined the NCHC and its member institutions."
Under Fenton, the NCHC quickly became a power on the ice and a success off it. The league has won five of the eight NCAA championships contested since its inaugural season in 2013-14, with North Dakota (2016), Denver (2017, 2022) and Minnesota Duluth (2018, 2019) securing titles. The NCHC Frozen Faceoff tournament has been a success at Xcel Energy Center. It's the only Division I conference in the West to still hold a four-team, neutral site conference tournament.
"We are thrilled to welcome Heather Weems as the next Commissioner of the NCHC," Andy Armacost, chair of the NCHC board of directors and president of the University of North Dakota, said in a statement. "Her record of exceptional leadership and her vision for the future of the conference stood out to the members of the Board. Heather will undoubtedly take the NCHC to new heights, building upon its success as the premier conference in college hockey."
Added Josh Berlo, Minnesota Duluth AD and co-chair of the NCHC's search committee with Armacost: "Heather will be an exceptional leader for the NCHC. She is a talented athletic director, has detailed knowledge of the league and will incorporate her passion for hockey to sustain and advance the NCHC as the model conference in college hockey. I am personally and professionally excited to work with her in this role.''
Weems, who earned a bachelor's degree in psychology at Iowa and a master's degree in higher education at Denver, previously served as an associate AD at both Drake and Denver, helping the Pioneers athletic program transition from NCAA Division II to Division I. | https://www.startribune.com/nchc-names-st-cloud-state-ad-heather-weems-as-its-new-commissioner/600172739/ | 2022-05-12T19:13:45Z | https://www.startribune.com/nchc-names-st-cloud-state-ad-heather-weems-as-its-new-commissioner/600172739/ | false | 2 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will meet Friday with mayors, police chiefs and local public officials to discuss how cities are using funds from the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package on policing and public safety programs.
A White House official insisted on anonymity to provide details of the meeting. In the afternoon, Biden plans to deliver remarks to ask state and local governments to devote more of their coronavirus relief spending to public safety.
The 2021 relief package included $350 billion for state, local and tribal governments, money that could go to police departments. Following the deaths of several Black Americans by law enforcement officials, some Democrats and civil rights activists have urged cutting police budgets. Republican lawmakers have criticized Biden amid rising violent crime, even though the president has said he believes the police need the money.
“The answer is not to defund the police," Biden said in his State of the Union address in March. "It’s to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them.”
Among the officials meeting with Biden are the mayors and police chiefs of Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Missouri, and Tampa, Florida. The mayors of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Toledo, Ohio, will also attend, as will officials from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
FBI records released last September suggest that Biden inherited a violent crime problem. In 2020, the year before Biden took office, homicides rose nearly 30% over the previous year, the largest one-year jump documented by the FBI. There were 21,570 killings, the highest since the early 1990s when homicides stayed above 23,000 a year. | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Biden-to-meet-with-mayors-police-chiefs-on-Friday-17168679.php | 2022-05-12T19:15:04Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Biden-to-meet-with-mayors-police-chiefs-on-Friday-17168679.php | true | 32 |
Police: Man hit teen with truck, attempted to leave him in ravine
CRAFTSBURY, Vt. (WCAX/Gray News) - A man is due in court Thursday after police say he hit a teen with his truck and then tried to dump his body in a ravine.
Vermont State Police say 20-year-old Parker Clark was doing doughnuts in a parking lot in Greensboro, Vermont, Wednesday night when he hit 19-year-old Tyler Friend.
Police say Clark then put Friend in the back of his pickup and drove to a remote farm in Craftsbury, Vermont, dragging Friend over a small ravine and into a creek.
Clark reportedly tried to leave, but his truck got stuck in the mud, WCAX reported. That’s when he allegedly picked Friend back up and went to a local farm to call for help.
Friend was airlifted to the hospital where he is in critical condition.
Clark is being charged with attempted second-degree murder, gross negligent operation with serious bodily injury resulting and DUI.
He’s scheduled to be in court Thursday at 1 p.m.

MADISON (WKOW ) — The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is working to improve equity of COVID-19 vaccinations with its new grant program.
The Moving Forward Together Grant Program allows eligible Wisconsin organizations to apply for up to $400,000 to address barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. These organizations, to name a few, include educational institutions, churches, care facilities, tribal community-based organizations and providers that serve high-risk populations.
“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Health Services has recognized that it is necessary to support frontline organizations that serve a variety of people and communities all across our state,” said DHS Deputy Secretary Deb Standridge. “The organizations that successfully compete for these funds will work to increase vaccine confidence in their communities by serving as a reliable source for information, meeting community members where they are at and answering any questions related to COVID-19.”
DHS says that systemic inequalities and racism have left many Wisconsinites vulnerable to COVID-19 due to a lack of access to quality health care, job opportunities, housing and transportation. This program seeks to remedy that by providing organizations with health education and access to COVID-19 vaccinations.
DHS says that improving access and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines may include creating culturally specific messaging, partnering with local businesses, community leaders and community health workers, and implementing block-by-block vaccination efforts.

PHOENIX, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bret Larsen, co-founder and CEO of eVisit, the leading enterprise care delivery platform built for modern health systems and hospitals, has been named to Healthcare Technology Report's prestigious Top 50 Healthcare Technology CEO list for 2022.

Together, we are committed to making a positive impact in the way healthcare is delivered, enabling virtual care while enhancing the provider-patient relationship with ease and scalability across various specialties. Our work is transformational, and I could not be prouder of leading the eVisit team."

This approach allows patients to continue to interact virtually with the providers they know and trust—improving patient engagement and bolstering outcomes, while protecting revenue for health systems.
Under Larsen's leadership as CEO, eVisit was recognized as the sole Leader for Virtual Care Platforms for Digital Health by Forrester Research, as well as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner 2020 Guide for Virtual Care Solutions. Inc. Magazine also recognized eVisit as one of America's fastest-growing companies in 2021, ranking 2,300 on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list.
"Bret's recognition as one of the Top 50 Healthcare Technology CEOs is well-deserved," the editorial team at The Healthcare Technology Report said. "He has been influential at changing the traditional mindset surrounding telehealth, overcoming significant provider opposition to the technology. He's done so by positioning telehealth as an integrated solution, enabling healthcare's digital front door and augmenting in-person, hands-on care. Bret's vision, tenacity, and leadership make him a highly effective CEO."

HEALTH BILL OP-ED (PART SIX)
The NHI will not succeed unless its benefits package is accepted across the broad spectrum of society
The parliamentary committee on health recently concluded public hearings on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill. This article looks at what the committee was asked to consider about medical benefits and the NHI.
Presentations on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill heard by the Portfolio Committee on Health were collated by the Parliamentary Monitoring Group and analysed by researchers from the South African Medical Research Council, the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the universities of the Western Cape and Cape Town.
Everyone wants to know what benefits the NHI will cover.
Clause 25(4) of the bill provides for a benefits advisory committee to review the benefits and types of services that the NHI will cover and, in consultation with the minister of health and the board, to determine the healthcare benefits the fund will provide. Most respondents declared support for the bill’s aim of progressively realising universal healthcare. The trade union Nehawu said this “would allow for people to access healthcare services without incurring any financial hardship”.
However, respondents were concerned by the “open-ended” nature of clause 25(4). The bill was considered to lack detail on what services would be covered, their affordability and the level at which they would be offered. Inherent difficulties in the process of deciding on a benefits package under potentially severe budgetary constraints were identified. The bill has no information on how the benefits package should be determined.
What will the NHI cover?
Several respondents wanted greater clarity on what would be included in the NHI benefits package.
The Professional Provident Society and the US multinational pharmaceutical company MSD (known as Merck in the US and Canada) called for the NHI to “spell out” the benefits package. The South African Medical Association argued that it was “extremely difficult for health practitioners to support the NHI reforms, not knowing what will be available to patients, or under what conditions”. The National Health Laboratory Service argued that the bill should clearly state what the package would contain, what would be excluded and how excluded benefits would be paid for.
Affordability and level of benefits
The Health Funders Association was concerned that “given budgetary constraints, the NHI is likely to cover a much narrower range of services than what is currently provided by medical schemes”. Wits University pointed to the findings of the ministerial task team on social health insurance (2005), which concluded that “even with a minimum benefit, costed at the lowest level feasible, it appears not to be affordable in the medium term. Overall health expenditure would rise to exceed 11.3% of GDP.”
The Pharmaceutical Task Group was concerned that rationing medicine benefits to a level lower than currently available benefits would compromise patient care and health outcomes.
Funding constraints, benefits and trade-offs
The success of the NHI may depend on the extent to which it can successfully manage, within funding constraints, the inevitable trade-offs between the types and comprehensiveness of different benefits in the package of care. Respondents highlighted the difficulties this entailed, expressing concern about the lack of clarity on the approach, principles and process to be used.
While welcoming the move away from the current (mainly public sector) model of implicit rationing (via stockouts or differential service availability, for example) towards the more explicit rationing model implied by a “benefits package”, the Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT pointed out that it would be extremely challenging to create an affordable list of benefits. The medico-legal risks associated with getting this wrong were high.
MSD said the bill did not provide criteria for determining the benefits package and there were no clear inclusion or exclusion criteria. The meaning and intent of phrases such as “medically necessary” or “comprehensive” alluding to benefits were unclear. There were also no principles or guidelines within which the benefits advisory committee was required to act. This would make it impossible for the committee to comply with healthcare professional legislation.
The Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT recommended that, while some of the benefits needed to remain implicit, the fund should be explicit about health benefits to be covered, referral pathways, essential medicine and laboratory lists and clinical guidelines, as well as areas of “disinvestment” – benefits that the fund would not cover.
In terms of process, Mediclinic called for a “transparent process for determining the benefits package, taking into account access, quality and affordability”. In a similar vein, the US multinational medical technology company Becton Dickinson called for the governance processes in the selection and functioning of the benefits advisory committee and health services pricing committee to be adequately defined. MSD called for the benefits advisory committee’s recommendations to be binding.
Some principles for determining the benefits package were identified. MSD and wound-care product manufacturer Systagenix urged the use of an evidence-based medicine guide. Healthcare company Johnson & Johnson called for the principles underlying the determination of “comprehensive or “necessary” care to be made clear. The French multinational healthcare company Sanofi called for “affordable” universal access to be defined within the legal mandate of the fund. The South African Human Rights Council said: “Basic health services must be clearly defined to be in line with the Constitution as well as accepted international standards.”
No benefits for broader society
The Public Health Association of South Africa, the Medical Research Council of South Africa, the Collaboration for Health Systems Analysis and Innovation and others were concerned that the bill mainly focused on personal health services and neglected services related to the broader social determinants of health, disease prevention and health promotion.
This “contradicts the principles related to addressing social determinants of health outlined in the NHI White Paper” and reflects the “extremely narrow” conceptualisation of prevention and promotion in the bill, they said.
While recognising the importance of personal services, they recommended that the bill place greater emphasis on “intersectoral action to support health promotion, disease prevention and address the social determinants of health”.
Lobbying
The hearings revealed numerous groups lobbying for the inclusion of benefits linked to services provided by their constituency. Table 1 summarises a sample of organisations and the specific benefits for which they lobbied. Many of these organisations focused exclusively on lobbying for their interests and made no other comments on the bill.
The Portfolio Committee on Health faces a challenge to reconcile the passionate demands of these special interest groups with the NHI brief to serve the best interests of population health.
Publicity around the NHI seems to have heightened expectations that the NHI will provide for “all healthcare needs without financial difficulty”. However, potentially severe financial constraints will require the NHI to carefully balance the types and comprehensiveness of the benefits it chooses to cover. Many respondents pointed out the bill’s lack of clarity on the benefits to be offered, and on processes and principles to guide the NHI in determining the benefits package.
C0mparisons with current medical aid scheme benefit packages seem inevitable, so the criteria and process of benefit selection by the NHI are likely to be subjected to ongoing public scrutiny. The task is likely to be complicated by the lobbying for selected benefits by special interest groups.
Committee’s challenge
The Portfolio Committee on Health faces a clear challenge to specify the NHI benefits and to provide more detail on the critical process of benefits definition and selection, or to leave the legislation “open-ended” as currently drafted.
The case for amending the bill to specify the benefits is weak. Any benefits the fund chooses to cover will be dependent on available funding and circumstances at a particular point in time. Specifying benefits in the bill would then require amendments to the bill each time benefits need to be changed – an onerous process.
The case for amending the bill to provide a clear process and principles to guide the NHI in determining the benefits package is far stronger. Benefit determination is a passionately contested terrain, and therefore amending the bill to provide clearer legislative guidelines will help the fund navigate this terrain.
With its focus on personal clinical care, the NHI Bill makes only rhetorical reference to comprehensive care, but several groups pointed out the exclusion of key public health measures required to ensure population health. This role is defined outside the brief of the NHI Bill, a serious omission in the eyes of some. To address this, the bill would need to fundamentally expand its scope of responsibility or make it clear that the responsibility for this level of healthcare lies elsewhere.
Based on their line of questioning during the hearing, the members of the Portfolio Committee on Health recognised that getting the benefits package right is critical to the success of the NHI. The Portfolio Committee on Health finding a way to establish a framework that allows for the benefits package to be determined in a manner which is effective and acceptable to broader society will be critical to the success of the NHI.

EXCLUSIVE: After relaunching its film division last October, Castle Rock Entertainment has set a first project out of the gate that will have a familiar ring. It’s Spinal Tap II, a sequel to the fabled rock mockumentary that set the film company on a run of hits, many of them directed by Rob Reiner. He made his directorial debut on the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap.
Reiner will direct the sequel and return as filmmaker Marty DiBergi. Also back are David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), and Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), the nucleus of England’s loudest and sauciest heavy metal band.
The package comes after the Cannes Film Festival announced the original will screen on the beach as part of the Cinema de la Plage sidebar on Wednesday, May 18th. The film was released to critical acclaim in 1984. In 2002, it was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry.
The company will fully finance, and CAA Media Finance will handle worldwide sales at the Cannes Market next week.
Guest, McKean, Reiner, and Shearer will conceive the new film. Frank Marshall will produce and Matthew George, Jonathan Fuhrman and Hernan Narea will executive produce on behalf of Castle Rock. George is CR co-president with Michele Reiner.
Deadline caught up with Reiner, and here is how he described the ambition: “The plan is to do a sequel that comes out on the 40th anniversary of the original film and I can tell you hardly a day goes by without someone saying, why don’t you do another one? For so many years, we said, ‘nah.’ It wasn’t until we came up with the right idea how to do this. You don’t want to just do it, to do it. You want to honor the first one and push it a little further with the story.”
The three members, who wrote the music and lyrics — some with Reiner — for standards like Smell the Glove, Hell Hole, Big Bottom and Lick My Love Pump, have in the past toured as the band, though not recently.
“They’ve played Albert Hall, played Wembley Stadium, all over the country and in Europe,” Reiner said. “They haven’t spent any time together recently, and that became the premise. The idea was that Ian Faith, who was their manager, he passed away. In reality, Tony Hendra passed away. Ian’s widow inherited a contract that said Spinal Tap owed them one more concert. She was basically going to sue them if they didn’t. All these years and a lot of bad blood we’ll get into and they’re thrown back together and forced to deal with each other and play this concert.”
The original was filled with rising talent, and there is a good chance that band members who watch the film over and over might find their way into the sequel.
“Hopefully there will be some guest artists,’ Reiner said. “The thing I’ve heard from so many bands and we’re talking about possibly doing a couple books, but one will be Tap Moments that real bands have had. Like in the movie, they get stoned and can’t find the stage, that happened to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. When Nigel is frustrated by the little bread in the catering that won’t hold the cold cuts, that last one was taken from a Rolling Stone article about a tour Van Halen had when, in their rider, they didn’t want brown M&Ms. We had an original keyboard player, Jonathan Sinclair, who when he was with the band Uriah Heep, visited us and said they’d been book into a military base, and we put that in, too. When I met with Sting years ago, he said, I’ve seen that movie 50 times and every time I watch it I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Because it’s so much what happens. With all of that, we’ve had a lot of bands share their experiences and so hopefully we’ll include some of that in the film.”
Reiner’s back onscreen as the director who filmed the band in the original.
“I’m back playing Marty DiBergi,” he said. “The band was upset with the first film. They thought I did a hatchet job and this is a chance to redeem myself. I am such a big fan and I felt bad they didn’t like what they saw in the first film. When I heard they might get back together, I was a visiting adjunct teacher’s helper at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts. I drop everything to document this final concert.”
The film will be released March, 19 2024, and chances are initial audiences will have an easier time understanding the rhythms, than they did the first time around.
“You have no idea what’s going to happen and the first time we screened in Dallas, they didn’t know what the hell it was,” Reiner said. “People came up to me and said, I don’t understand why would you make a movie about a band no one has heard of and is so bad. Why would you do it? I said, it’s satire and I would explain, but it took awhile for people to catch up to it. Now, it’s in the National Film Registry,” said Reiner, who relaunched Castle Rock with a $175 million film fund.

The last few Fight Night cards the UFC has put together have been bereft of depth. In the process, whatever depth there was that would differentiate the cards all went to the main card. For whatever reason, the depth is spread out over the prelims for UFC Vegas 54. It’s rare enough when Fight Night prelims features a contest with a pair of ranked fighters. UFC Vegas 54 features two such fights. Normally, the selling of Fight Night prelims requires selling on seeing potential up-and-comers before they become the real deal. These prelims feature fighters who have become the real deal.
Viviane Araujo vs. Andrea Lee, Women’s Flyweight
The narrative for Araujo and Lee has some similarities. After successful UFC debuts, there was hope each of them would develop into title contenders. While it’s still a possibility for both to do that, they’ve had enough hiccups in that endeavor that most believe it isn’t going to happen. Given she’s younger, Lee has a bit more time to fulfill that goal. Regardless, It’s a must-win for both.
Even though she’s 35, Araujo still appears to be one of the better athletes in the division. In fact, it could be argued she’s still improving giving she started in the sport late. Those improvements have become more miniscule with each passing fight, but not before Araujo developed a stiff jab in which she could center her attack on. What she hasn’t developed is the ability to avoid her opponent’s offense. If Araujo could get past relying on being able to hit harder, she could probably develop into the contender many saw her becoming.
Perhaps it won’t matter too much against Lee as the former Muay Thai competitor isn’t a heavy hitter by any means. She does have clean technique and can work over an opponent in the clinch, but stoppages have been rare for her. Perhaps she’s turning a corner as she induced a corner stoppage out of Cynthia Calvillo, but Calvillo appeared to have entered the fight broken mentally. Regardless, a brawl isn’t the type of environment Lee wants the fight to fall into. If the fight stay technical, Lee is the favorite. Unfortunately for Lee, she too often lets her opponent dictate what type of fight takes place.
Much of that is due to Lee’s well-roundedness. Yes, she can hold her own in all areas. Wrestling, grappling, in space, in the clinch... she never seems to get overwhelmed. Of course, not being overwhelmed isn’t the same thing as winning the fight. Lee appears to have noticed that herself as the last two fights saw her keeping the fight where she had the best chance to win. She grounded Antonina Shevchenko and kept the fight standing with Calvillo.
There’s a good chance her only option with Araujo will be on the feet. The Brazilian has some of the best takedown defense in the division and has proven to be surprisingly adept at timing her takedowns. A ground attack appears to be the best route for Araujo and it’s very doable. But if Lee has turned the corner, Lee presents the type of fighter Araujo hasn’t been able to get past: a technical striker with a reach advantage and the ability to stay on the outside. This is one of the harder fights on the card to predict, but I see Araujo’s lack of defense allowing Lee to outpoint her. Lee via decision
Virna Jandiroba vs. Angela Hill, Women’s Strawweight
There always seems to be somebody on the UFC roster who will always have a close decision go against them. Before developing his Street Jesus persona, it was Jorge Masvidal. Now, it seems that title falls to Angela Hill. That needs to be said given Hill has lost four of her last five contests. However, three of those losses were razor thin split decisions. In other words, that 1-4 run she is currently on could just as easily be 4-1.
Well established as a favorite of both the fanbase and the organizational brass for her willingness to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere, Hill is running out of time to get over the hump. She’s now 37 and been a professional MMA fighter for eight years. In other words, she’s been in the sport long enough that any gains made to her skill set would most likely be small. Not that she’s a bad fighter. In fact, she’s one of the most technical strikers in the division and lethal in the clinch. Sure, she lacks power, but she has also addressed the issues that led to her slowing in several of her fights. Now, she tends to be just as effective late in contests as was at the beginning of them.
The thing is, she’s going to have to ensure she keeps the fight standing. If she does, she’ll run away with the fight as calling Jandiroba a poor striker might be overselling her abilities on the feet. One of the worst athletes on the roster, Jandiroba gets by with the most technical BJJ game in the division. Perhaps not as flashy as Mackenzie Dern, Jandiroba is very reminiscent of Demian Maia in her ability to maintain control over long stretches of the fight to steal rounds. Of course, that’s assuming she hasn’t capitalized on an opponent’s mistake to get the sub.
However, Jandiroba’s physical tools do create limitations. For instance, her wrestling is alright at best. She does benefit in that she can be more reckless than most in her attempts to go to the mat as she’d be satisfied pulling guard, but the best athletes and wrestlers can stifle her. Hill is a solid athlete and has improved as a wrestler... but is she good enough in those areas to keep the fight standing the whole time? I don’t think so. Hill will be winning as long as she can keep the fight standing, but I think Jandiroba can end the fight if it goes to the mat. Jandiroba via submission of RD1
- We’ve all questioned how Sam Alvey retains his roster spot, something that’s completely fair to do. Perhaps the 15-month absence is the only reason we haven’t been piling on Michael Johnson. There are few who survive 3-9 stretches, which he is currently mired in. Formerly a fixture in the top ten of the lightweight division – he does have wins over the likes of Edson Barboza and Dustin Poirier – Johnson appears to be stuck in his own head ever since Khabib Nurmagomedov delivered a legendary beating on him. Even as the years have piled up – he’s now 35 – Johnson still comes across as a plus athlete with excellent hand speed. But seemingly every fight, he commits a mental miscue that swings the entirety of the fight’s momentum and victory slips through his fingers. Can Alan Patrick capitalize on that tendency? I’m not so sure. Though he’s three years older than Johnson, Patrick is a comparable athlete. In fact, it could be argued Patrick is more explosive. However, Patrick doesn’t appear to have a lot of mental resilience. I get that the same could be argued about Johnson, but mental resilience isn’t something Johnson’s recent opponents have been lacking in. In other words, it may come down to who has the more functional skillset this time around. I’ve got to pick one of them, so I’ll favor Johnson’s combination punching over Patrick’s takedowns and one-off strikes. Johnson via decision
- Given the promise Tatsuro Taira has shown, I’m a bit shocked there hasn’t been more hype around the 22-year-old Japanese representative. Perhaps some of that has to do with him competing at flyweight, perhaps it has to do with his ground-heavy approach, or maybe people just don’t pay as much attention to the Japanese scene as they used to. Most likely a combination of all three. Regardless, Taira is surprisingly methodical for someone of his age. Not that he doesn’t possess any explosiveness, but while he’s adept enough at scrambling, he’s shown the ability to slowly work his way into position on the mat. That could be delivering some brutal GnP or finding a sub. He’ll have an unproven opponent in Carlos Candelario. The first product of DWCS to be awarded a contract off a losing performance, the American proved to be exceptionally scrappy. Plus, while his takedown defense is a major concern, his ability to get back to his feet is impressive. Throw in his occasional KO power and it’s not a guarantee he’s a steppingstone for Taira. Despite that, I still favor the youngster. Taira via decision
- There isn’t a lot that separates Nick Maximov and Andre Petroski stylistically. Both possess limited standup and both are at their best grounding and smothering their opponents. So, what separates them? Petroski would be the more technical wrestler of the two given his collegiate experience, but Maximov has more experience in grappling and BJJ tournaments. Plus, Maximov seems to do a better job of effectively mixing the two disciplines for MMA efficiency. Even though both are limited on the feet, Petroski appears to have more raw power, meaning he might look to keep the fight standing. Perhaps further reason for him to do so is Maximov appears to have an endless gas tank. Petroski doesn’t. Those factors do make sense to make Maximov a notable favorite, but I don’t know if it justifies just how wide the odds are. Regardless, I’m going with Maximov. Maximov via submission of RD3 | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/5/12/23064740/ufc-vegas-54-prelims-preview-early-fights-featuring-surprising-quality-mma-news-editorial | 2022-05-12T19:39:12Z | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/5/12/23064740/ufc-vegas-54-prelims-preview-early-fights-featuring-surprising-quality-mma-news-editorial | true | 1 |
SAN JOSE – The San Jose Barracuda will host the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic, the league announced Wednesday, and one of the team’s top executives hinted the franchise would also like to host an outdoor game in the area.
The AHL announced that the All-Star Classic, its marquee regular-season event, will take place Feb. 4-5, 2024 at Tech CU Arena, the new 4,200-seat home of the Barracuda that will open next to Solar4America Ice in San Jose in August.
The event will also include a skills competition and the AHL Hall of Fame induction and awards ceremony.
Scott Howson, the AHL’s President and CEO, said he toured the new arena about two months ago. The Sharks moved their AHL affiliate from Worcester, Mass. to San Jose in 2015, and since then, the Barracuda has played most of its home games at SAP Center.
“We just know it’s going to be a first-class of event out in San Jose,” Howson said.
The Barracuda is hoping the new arena, and other marquee events — such as the possibility of an outdoor game — can raise the visibility of the franchise in a crowded Bay Area sports market.
Per hockeydb.com, an average of only 1,789 tickets were distributed per Barracuda home game at SAP Center this season, the second-lowest figure in the AHL and ahead only of Stockton (1,713). Some home games were played at Solar4America Ice, which has a much smaller seating capacity.
The Barracuda and the AHL bill themselves as a family-friendly place to watch future NHL players at a more affordable price. A basic full 36-game season ticket plan at Tech CU Arena next season ranges from $360 to $1,440 per person.
Eric Grundfast, the Barracuda’s director of business operations, recalled saying when he joined the organization nine months ago that, “things are going to change here. We’re going to refresh the organization, we’re going to relaunch the organization, and this was one of the first things that I brought up to him was hosting (the All-Star Game).
“It’s something we’re excited about. We want to really showcase San Jose, showcase the facility and showcase a beautiful city that we’re in here. It’s an opportunity for us to show it off to the league, to the market, to the veterans across the league as we’re trying to bring in talent.”
Tech CU Arena from Sept. 16-19 will host the Rookie Faceoff tournament, which will feature NHL prospects from the Sharks, Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights, Arizona Coyotes, and Colorado Avalanche.
Grundfast said the Barracuda has talked about potentially holding an outdoor game in 2025.
“We really want to showcase the organization and the Barracuda,” he said, “and create staple events to entrench ourselves more in the marketing and community.”
Potential venues for a San Jose outdoor game include Excite Ballpark (formerly Municipal Stadium) CEFCU Stadium (formerly Spartan Stadium) or PayPal Park, the Earthquakes’ home field.
“It’s in the early stages. I’d say to stay tuned,” Grundfast said. “This is something that I’ve talked about at the senior level with the organization, and I know there’s excitement around these events. We’ve gone two for two so far, getting the prospects game here and the All-Star Game.”
Starting in 2010, the AHL has held 10 outdoor games, with the most recent being in 2018 when the Hershey Bears hosted the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in front of 13,000 fans at Hersheypark Stadium.
Two AHL outdoor games have been held in California – one in Dec. 2015 at Raley Field in Sacramento between the Stockton Heat and Bakersfield Condors, and the other in Jan. 2017 at Memorial Stadium in Bakersfield between the Condors and Ontario Reign. Announced crowds for those games were 9,357 and 12,330, respectively.
The only time the South Bay hosted an outdoor hockey game was in 2015 when an announced crowd of over 70,000 people at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara watched the Sharks play the Los Angeles Kings. | https://www.redbluffdailynews.com/2022/05/11/san-jose-to-host-2024-ahl-all-star-game-could-an-outdoor-game-be-next/ | 2022-05-12T19:40:56Z | https://www.redbluffdailynews.com/2022/05/11/san-jose-to-host-2024-ahl-all-star-game-could-an-outdoor-game-be-next/ | true | 10 |
Scotland’s Matthew Wilson took advantage of the best of the early conditions to open with a three-under 69 for a one-shot lead in the Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Open at The Island.
Eight of the 11 sub-par rounds were shot in the morning wave, and Wilson, twice a winner in Scotland already this year, took advantage to card five birdies and lead by the minimum from a seven-strong Irish chasing posse.
“It was nice to take advantage of the better draw this morning. I played really well and made pars on the tough holes but took my chances when I had them,” Wilson said. “It’d be nice to challenge in an event like this. Expectations were high coming in.”
West of Ireland champion Alan Fahy shares second place with fellow internationals Robert Moran from Castle and Galway’s Liam Nolan (the runner-up at Rosses Point), Co Louth’s Gerard Dunne, Royal Portrush’s Jack Madden, Ballybofey and Stranorlar’s Ryan Griffin, and Co Sligo’s Sean McLoughlin on two-under.
“It was about getting off to a solid start today,” the Bray man said. "I was two-over at one point and trying to hang in but was four-under on the back nine. It was unexpected, but there are more opportunities on the back-nine.”
Dunne, a teacher in O’Fiach College in Dundalk, returned to school for the afternoon in great spirits after a 70.
“It was a day about patience,” the Co Louth man said. “It’s a long four days, but I’m happy where I am. You can’t win it on the first day, but you can lose it today.
“I didn’t get to play a practice round yesterday. I’m back to work this afternoon, and I’ve a one-year-old at home. I’m juggling everything, but it can be a positive too. There are plenty of distractions.”
Griffin, who reached the quarter-finals of the West of Ireland Championship at Easter, was one of only three players to break par in the afternoon when southwest winds gusted well over 20 mph.
“I’d have taken it at the start of the day,” he said. “It’s all about putting myself in a good position. I’m playing smart and putting the practice in. I’m happy in my game and not getting stressed on course.”
There are five players from The Island in the field with Donabate native Joseph Hanney the happiest of them after a 71.
“It’s brilliant to be in contention,” he said as he ended the day tied for ninth with Athenry’s Sean O’Connell and Carton House’s Marc Boucher. “The course is set up differently for a Championship. Hitting greens was essential today. Today was about hanging in and staying in contention.”
Two-time champion Peter O’Keeffe got his title defence off to a solid start with a one-over 71 that left him tied for 18th. Royal Dublin’s Hugh Foley, who was runner-up to O’Keeffe at The European Club last year, was three-under after six holes.
But after dropping five shots in the middle of his round, he rallied with birdies at the 15th and 18th to card a level par 72 and share 12th place with Joshua Hill from Galgorm Castle, Naas’ David Marshall Jnr, Roganstown’s Patrick Keeling. Swede Wilhelm Ahlgren and Athenry’s David Kitt. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/arid-40871459.html | 2022-05-12T19:41:11Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/arid-40871459.html | false | 2 |
Best camping stoves in stock in the UK from Argos, Blacks, Decathlon
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
There are quite a few essentials that are needed for a successful camping trip: sleeping bags, tents, airbeds - and a gas stove is near the top of the list. After all, you’ve got to eat.
Best camping stoves at a glance:
- Best for all-round versatility: Carri Chef 2 Gourmet Combo
- Best for couples and small families: Campingaz Camping Kitchen 2 CV
- Best for efficiency and design: Primus Onja
- Best for orienteering and backpacking: Jetboil Zip
- Best for value and portability: Campingaz Camp Bistro 2 Portable Gas Stove
Choosing a gas stove
There’s a wide variety of camp stoves available in all manner of shapes and sizes and they all run on gas, or more appropriately propane and a mixture of butane and propane. You don’t need to head to an outdoor retail store: these days, the best camping stoves and their gas cannisters are all available online.
Propane bottles
The first thing you need to ask yourself is what type of gas system is best for you. If you have a large family or simply want a multi gas hob to feed several mouths, then perhaps opt for a stove that runs off large a 5kg propane bottle (Patio Gas is the most popular brand).
While larger propane canisters provide lengthy cooking times and will easily last the course of a camping holiday, initial costs can be quite high since you will need to pay a canister rental fee of £40 plus £30 for the gas.
A large 5kg gas canister also has the added benefit of being able to power a gas barbecue (most campsites don’t allow the use of charcoal).
But on the downside, it also takes up much more room in the car and, if considering a European camping holiday in the car or motorhome, you should know that you will need to declare it to the staff at EuroTunnel.
Butane/propane canisters
Another much more common option among campers – and especially backpackers and wilderness orienteers – is the classic disposable butane/propane canister.
These small, cheap-to-buy canisters screw on to the gas stove’s regulator and provide around two hours of cooking using a 220g aerosol canister or approximately 3.5 hours using the larger 450g variety.
The big bonus here is that camping gas canisters are available everywhere so you could simply travel without any gas on board and purchase a few canisters at the campsite shop or a local supermarket.
Get kitted out for your camping and backpacking adventures.
We have detailed guides to the best backpacking tents for your adventures here. Want to steady your stride? These are the best walking poles for hiking.
Keep it comfy with the best camping folding chairs, and sleep on the best air beds around, as listed here. And keep things illuminated with a great camping head torch.
Cadac Carri Chef 50
Best for: all-round versatility
Cadac’s versatile, South African-designed gas stove-cum-BBQ is hugely popular on French and British family campsites and small wonder because is it arguably the most versatile outdoor cooking system on the market.
The Carri Chef 50 comes with a ceramic BBQ grill plate, a Spanish-style Plancha for fried breakfasts, pancakes, etc and a pot holder for boiling pastas and vegetables or even a whistling kettle.
We would also recommend adding the superb scottle (or wok) at checkout because this one item alone provides a wide range of extra cooking options, including quick and easy stir fries.
Like a Weber barbecue, the Carri Chef’s lid encourages convection cooking and when removed and hooked on the side, it also serves as a windbreak.
The Carri Chef is designed to run on larger bottle of propane (5kg upwards) but it can easily be converted to run on smaller, commonly-available mini camping cartridges.
In fact, the optional Dual Power Pak may be the best option for lightweight camping. In a nutshell, this superb set up is the only outdoor cooking appliance you’ll ever need.
Campingaz Camping Kitchen 2 CV
Best for: couples and small families
When it comes to camping stoves, two hobs are better than one, whether it’s cooking pasta in one saucepan while whipping up a sauce on the side, or making scrambled eggs at the same time as frying the bacon.
This model runs on a mini 450g CV470 Campingaz cylinder which is said to provide up to 90 minutes of cooking time. The 2 CV’s lid meanwhile keeps everything in place for transport and serves as an excellent windbreak when in use.
The Camping Kitchen 2 CV weighs in at just 3.8kgs and, at 49cm in width, is really easy to transport.
To use, simply place it on a table or the floor, hook it up to the gas using Campingaz’s Easy CliC Plus connection system, and push and turn the knobs for instant ignition.
By their very nature, coming stoves have smaller burners than the average kitchen hob – this model’s hobs are large enough for two 24cm pans – so it’s always best to invest in some camp-specific cookware.
If you’re camping alone then something along the lines of the Campingaz Camp Bistro 2 reviewed below will likely suffice, but if you have a few mouths to feed, this simple but effective two-hob model is clearly a wiser choice.
Primus Onja
Best for: efficiency and design
Swedish company Primus has been at the cutting edge of the camping and outdoors industry for aeons (since 1892 to be more precise) and produces a wide range of imaginatively designed products that tend to buck the trend.
Like this quirky, easy-to-carry, two-burner model that expands outwards to accommodate two small saucepans.
The Onja’s 2800-watt burners are ferociously hot and will boil a litre of water in less than four minutes.
The admittedly cheap-looking burner controls are extremely sensitive, too, which means you can easily adjust the flames to a really slow simmer.
This model accommodates two threaded or clip-on canisters, one for each burner and they’re nicely tucked away out of sight beneath a detachable fabric covering for added aesthetic.
An oak lid serves as protection in transit while serving as a cutting board at the same time. This one’s a great choice for wilderness camping and picnics.

{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Jetboil Zip
Best for: orienteering and backpacking
Mountaineers, orienteers, wilderness campers, touring cyclists and backpackers need a light, compact cooking system that doesn’t take up valuable space, is practical, efficient, light and, above all, easy to use.
The all-in-one Jetboil Zip’s single-serve 0.8-litre cooking pot also serves as a container for the burner, stand and propane canister so everything is nicely contained in one tidy package.
But it’s the speed and efficiency of the Zip’s unique burner that impresses most. Like an industrial blow-torch, this thing boils water in less than two minutes, and in temperatures as low as -6˚C.
And when you’re done cooking, simply eat the contents straight out of the neoprene-coated pot – without burning your hands.
Job done.
Campingaz Camp Bistro 2
Best for: value and portability
The Bistro 2’s wide, flat, sturdy design is perfect for couples and soloists and compact enough to easily fit into a backpack.
The Piezo-equipped Bistro 2 boils a litre of water in around six minutes – not the fastest it must be said – and continues for up to 70 minutes on a single Campingaz CP250 butane cartridge.
Given that this all-metal model is so sturdy and there are no obstacles like ridges or tall surrounds around the hob surface, you could feasibly use any sized saucepan or frying pan on it.
On the downside, the open design means it’s more susceptible to wind blowing out the flame so we would advise using it on the lee side of a tent or somewhere sheltered – but never inside the tent!
If you’re travelling alone or with a partner, this solid, great-value stove is arguably your best bet. It’s efficient, cheap to buy and easy to use. | https://www.bucksherald.co.uk/recommended/best-camping-gas-stoves-uk-2022-argos-blacks-campingaz-3265431 | 2022-05-12T19:43:02Z | https://www.bucksherald.co.uk/recommended/best-camping-gas-stoves-uk-2022-argos-blacks-campingaz-3265431 | true | 32 |

MINNEAPOLIS — Sixteen hours after it started, the Astros resumed a ravaging of Minnesota’s walking wounded. Injury and illness are sidelining most of the Twins’ cornerstone players. Manager Rocco Baldelli returned from a five-game COVID-19 absence Thursday. For his first act, he waved a white flag.
Baldelli removed center fielder Byron Buxton from Minnesota’s lineup before the resumption of Wednesday’s suspended game, intending to save his full lineup for the contest that followed.
The Astros accepted the gift and grew their winning streak. A six-run sixth inning keyed their ninth straight win — an 11-3 bludgeoning of the Twins that required two days to finish.
Torrential rain and tornado warnings Wednesday suspended the game after three innings. It resumed Thursday afternoon with Houston ahead 5-1 in the top of the fourth inning, a lead one laughable inning only grew.
Eleven Astros stepped to the plate during the sixth. Eight struck hits and six scored. Kyle Tucker started the onslaught with a solo home run into a swirling wind. He ended it with a run-scoring double when his spot in the batting order came around again.
Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley and Alex Bregman banged three consecutive doubles off Twins reliever Cody Stashak, who surrendered five of Houston’s eight hits during the frame. Jose Siri and Martín Maldonado contributed singles from the eighth and ninth spots in the order, too.
Houston had a season-high 15 hits, the last of which came against Minnesota outfielder Nick Gordon, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning. Every Astros starter collected at least one hit. Altuve, Bregman, Tucker, Siri, Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez all had multi-hit efforts.
Relievers Bryan Abreu and Phil Maton each procured six crucial outs, allowing the team to preserve most of its leverage arms for the second game.
Abreu started the game’s resumption and yielded one run across two otherwise impressive frames. Abreu struck out four, including a momentum-shifting punchout of Jorge Polanco, who represented the tying run with two aboard in the fifth.
Abreu put the cleanup man away with a nasty backfoot slider, sending him skipping from the mound. Moments later, Houston’s offensive onslaught began. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/astros/article/Astros-roll-past-Twins-in-completion-of-suspended-17168761.php | 2022-05-12T19:45:03Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/astros/article/Astros-roll-past-Twins-in-completion-of-suspended-17168761.php | true | 1 |
