Which paella pan is best?
Originally from Valencia, a rice-growing region in Spain, paella is a slow-cooked dish of meat, seafood and vegetables that are all simmered with saffron. This deeply flavored culinary masterpiece uses a pan that is wide and fairly shallow. This exposes as much of the rice as possible to the bottom, allowing it to form the crispy crust — the socarrat — that paella is famous for.
The Matfer Bourgeat Black Steel Paella Pan is the pan professionals choose when cooking at home. It’s durable, well-made and nonstick with proper seasoning and care.
What to know before you buy a paella pan
Material
This dish’s high cooking temperature and long duration of cooking require that a paella pan be durable and able to heat evenly.
There are several materials to choose from.
- Carbon steel: Carbon steel is the traditional material for paella pans designed to last for generations. They heat evenly and hold that heat for a long time, but they need special care to prevent rust and remain nonstick.
- Cast iron: Cast iron is great for use over an open flame, but it is very heavy. It also requires specific seasoning and care. You can get enameled cast iron, which is easier to care for.
- Nonstick steel: These pans are not traditional, but they do provide a nonstick surface. Make sure you select a pan that is PFOA-free.
- Stainless steel: These pans work well and look great, but they don’t release food as easily and can be expensive.
Capacity
Paella pans are traditionally large, up to 32 inches in diameter, but they can be as small as 8 inches. Regardless of the size, the pan should have straight sides that are no more than 3 inches deep. This shallow surface helps achieve the perfect texture of rice, meat, seafood and vegetables.
Nonstick vs. raw materials
While nonstick pans make food release more easily, some cooks prefer to limit the number of potential chemicals leaching into their food. Look for raw materials, such as steel or cast iron.
What to look for in a quality paella pan
Stay-cool handles
It is hard to find stay-cool handles on a paella pan. These are usually coated with something that minimizes heat transfer from the pan. If you don’t want to fuss with pot holders, this is a useful feature. However, keep in mind that even stay-cool handles can get warm, and proceed with caution.
Dimples
The dimples on the bottom of a paella pan look like the dimples on a golf ball. These shallow indentations promote even heating.
Lid
Lids are optional because they are not traditionally used to prepare paella. However, if you plan to use your pan for other dishes where a lid would come in handy, this is a nice addition to have.
Free from harmful chemicals
Many people avoid nonstick cookware due to the potential for chemicals to leach into food. The newest generation of these slippery pans uses coatings that are PFOA-free and nontoxic with no chance of food contamination.
How much you can expect to spend on a paella pan
When it comes to these pans, the lower the price, the lower your expectations should be. Expect to spend $25-$250.
Paella pan FAQ
What else can you prepare in a paella pan?
A. If you don’t have the space — or patience — for a unitasking kitchen tool, don’t worry. Use your paella pan to prepare:
- Stir-fries.
- Shallow-fried chicken.
- Egg dishes.
- Gratin.
- Pancakes.
- Sauteed vegetables.
- Jambalaya.
- Curries.
- Pork chops.
- Steaks.
- One-skillet meals (on the stovetop or in the oven).
Can paella pans be used on induction burners or backyard grills?
A. Some paella pans are safe for use on all surfaces, including induction burners and backyard grills. If you want a versatile pan that can be used on every cooking surface, cast iron is your best bet. It is heavy, but its durable construction and ability to be nonstick with proper care make it a good choice.
Do paella pans require special care?
A. Some paella pans do require special care to retain or develop a nonstick surface. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for care that are included with your pan.

The biggest day on the NFL calendar for social media departments at the 32 teams isn’t a game, the draft or the start of free agency. It is schedule release day.
Much like coaches spend hours game planning, digital departments have spent months planning and shooting videos that will go live when the entire 2022 regular-season schedule is released Thursday night.
Most teams are sparing no expense to come up with unique ways to showcase their upcoming slate.
“Schedule release for us is kind of our Super Bowl in the digital sports club world,” said Derek Eagleton, the Dallas Cowboys’ vice president for media and programming.
The Cowboys had one of the league’s top videos last year with rapper Post Malone delivering the schedule as “The Postman” to Jerry Jones. It also included cameos from quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott.
Getting the Grammy nominee to participate ended up being an easy task. Post’s father is Rich Post, the assistant director of food and beverage for the Cowboys.
The release videos can run the gamut on style. Some go the animation route,others have incorporated brainstorming sessions where they can highlight different ideas. The Kansas City Chiefs opted to have coach Andy Reid discuss looking forward to the challenge of each opponent while the Pittsburgh Steelers used Legos to build their schedule.
In the case of the Denver Broncos, they have been looking at ways to top last year. Their video of Peyton Manning as an intern won a Webby Award in the Sports Social Video category.
“It’s definitely a challenge to kind of come up with creative ideas year after year, especially after we had such a successful one last year,” said Caroline Deisley, the Broncos’ senior manager of social media strategy. “It’s almost stressful, because as we’re trying to come up with our own idea, you’re wondering what the other 31 teams are going to do and hope that your video tops that.
“Sometimes it’s a really high-budget, heavily produced video that looks really cool. Or it’s more kind of like what we did last year with Peyton where we spent $2.99 and filmed it in 30 minutes. It was just his comedic timing, and kind of I can’t believe you got Peyton Manning to do this, that led to the success there.”
Marc Ganis, the president of sports consulting firm Sportscorp Ltd., said the team productions evolved from them seeing the activity on social media once the schedules were released.
“It grew organically after teams saw how many retweets the schedule would get along with conversations about which games fans were planning on attending or other fan bases talking at each other once the dates were known,” he said. “Now it is one of the tentpole events on the NFL calendar and has been a way for the league to stay in the headlines in May after the draft.”
The Seattle Seahawks had one of the first viral schedule release videos in 2016 when they did “ Making the Schedule. ” The two-minute video showed ingredients being put together to bake cupcakes, followed by cupcakes showing each team.
The competition began to ramp up in 2019 when Atlanta released a “Game of Thrones”-themed video and Carolina did retro video games. Last year, Cleveland was the only team that didn’t do a short schedule release video. The Browns opted to do a half-hour special.
“We’ve known and seen how heavily invested clubs are in their content production. They have top equipment and top talent. They’re essentially full production houses,” said Gazelle Rezvan, an account manager for club relations. “It’s not just the best of the NFL, it’s amazing content.”
The videos also are a good way for teams to promote sponsors and ignite ticket sales. Most teams have opted to put single-game seats on sale as soon as the schedule has been released.
Laura Lefton, NFL VP of club business development, said ticket sales for the couple days following the schedule release were up 150% compared to 2019.
While most teams change ideas annually, the Los Angeles Chargers stick to a consistent theme each year — poking fun at their opponents’ fan bases. The 2019 schedule video featured stock footage and last year’s was edge rusher Joey Bosa leading a PowerPoint presentation that included subtle jabs at each city.
Most see it as good fun. However, the Cleveland Fox TV affiliate sent a care package after the PowerPoint slide went to the Cleveland “Mistake on the Lake” nickname and added there was nothing to do there.
Jason Lavine, Chargers vice president of content and production, said the irreverent brand of humor is one reason the organization won a Webby for one of the best social media accounts,
“Our voice is fun. This organization has embraced fun, and a part of having fun is not only being able to like making fun of yourself, but you got to have fun with others,” he said. “We’re never going after teams as much as we’re going after the fan bases and maybe the culture of the city.”
Like others around the league, Lavine is interested in seeing what other teams have up their sleeves this year as well as the reception the Chargers’ video will receive.
“I think anyone who works at a team would tell you it’s like I think we get a little bit snickered at because we are team media. There’s a simple sense of like, well, they’re lesser in some respects. But we firmly believe that we can compete and create at any level,” he said.

Game notes
- The Boston Bruins face the Carolina Hurricanes with their season on the line tonight in Game 6. After losing Game 5 in Raleigh, the Bruins are now one game away from elimination in the first round.
- Despite trailing and then winning Games 3, and 4, the Bruins couldn’t recover after playing from behind all of Game 5. They trailed 2-0 after the first, and were down 4-0 early into the third period. The B’s have trailed to start every game this series, but when trailing by two scores, they haven’t been able to bounce back. Game 5’s four-goal hole was the largest deficit the Bruins fell behind all series though.
- But home ice has been a major factor this series and could work in the Bruins’ favor as they’ll look to force another night. They won both their home games to even the series and outscored the Hurricanes 9-4 during those two games. Five of those goals were the product of special teams (four on the power play and one shorthanded). Three of the goals were 5v5 and the other was an empty net.
- Scoring on 5v5 has been a huge problem for the Bruins. While they have found a groove on the power play, it can’t be relied upon to bail them out. In this series, six of the B’s 13 goals have been from even-strength, while it’s been the complete opposite for Carolina. The Hurricanes have scored only three of their 19 goals on the power play while the rest have been even-strength or empty-net goals.
- To top it off, the Bruins are having the same problems of finding secondary scoring right now and a lack of consistency throughout the lineup. Guys like Taylor Hall are struggling to find the back of the net and Erik Haula, who surged for awhile at the end of the season, are becoming lost in the shuffle. Eight of the Bruins’ goals have come from Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak alone. That’s 62% of the scoring from only three players.
- Jeremy Swayman will get his fourth consecutive start. Despite picking up his first loss of the series on Tuesday, he has averaged a .914 save percentage overall in the three games. Last game, he allowed two power-play goals and made 33 saves for a .892 save percentage.
- Bruce Cassidy said Hampus Lindholm is “probable” to return to the lineup tonight, but that decision will come later today. If he is good to go, Cassidy said they’ll have to obviously figure out how it affects the rest of the defensive pairings.

OMG, HUGE congrats are in order!
After a rough couple years, Kelly Osbourne has some amazing news to share with the world: she’s pregnant!
The Fashion Police alum made the amazing announcement on her Instagram page on Thursday, along with a photo of her ultrasound — in what appears to be the second trimester! She wrote:
“I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why… I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma. To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic!”
Awwww! See the cute first pic of Mum and child (below)!
We’re so happy for her!

While Kelly didn’t mention the identity of the father in her post, it’s pretty clear it’s her beau, Sid Wilson. She posted a romantic set of pics with the DJ on Valentine’s Day calling him her “soulmate” — and based on the timing it’s likely she was already pregnant at the time!
Again, big congrats to these two! We know that Kelly will make a great mom! And her recent relapse will only ensure she’s better guarded against slipping again! Which is good because she’s not-drinking for two now!

OMAHA, Neb. — Jay Johnson loves his two dogs. He says to him, they are family.
This past weekend, he came close to losing them after they escaped from the backyard of his Omaha home. The dogs escaped while Johnson was in the shower.
"(I) get out of the shower, notice there's a message on my phone, ‘I got your dog’,” said Johnson.
That's when Johnson came out, he realized his fence was broken which was how the dogs escaped. He said someone ran into and destroyed his fence the night before.
Luckily, Johnson was able to recover his animals, but he also has an $800 expense to replace the fence, and he's not alone.
The so-called "Kool-Aid Man Challenge" on TikTok is leading to a rash of vandalism in Omaha and surrounding areas.
In the challenge, someone runs into and destroys random fences in an effort to mimic the mascot of the popular powdered drink. The damage is not an easy fix, especially these days.
Surveillance video that was recently captured shows a group of several people charging another fence at a different home in Omaha.
The footage went viral on social media which is getting the attention of law enforcement.
“They get into a group mentality where one of them thinks they have a good idea and the others ones go along with it," said Lt. James Wrigley, Sarpy County Sheriff's Office.
"Once we meet up with these kids individually they tend to say they're sorry and wouldn't do this by themselves,”
Wrigley said say his department has responded to eight calls of this happening across the county. In the case of the aforementioned video, around $3,500 worth of damage was done to the fence.
Lindsay Anderson, Operations Manager at S&W Fence said this kind of damage is normally tough to fix. Current supply shortages make the job even harder.
“Vinyl pricing more than doubled when the pandemic hit as with everything," said Anderson. "The cost to repair them for some people is more than the price they paid to get their entire fence.”
Johnson said he wants to see the people doing this face real consequences.
“They need to learn a lesson, big time," he said. "It can't just be a slap on the hand.”
The Sarpy County Sheriff's Office said they're still looking for the individuals in the video.
Those responsible for the damage could face criminal mischief charges, and the severity of those charges would depend upon the damage to property.

Sam Wilson officially became Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the end of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+. Marvel fans have wondered when Anthony Mackie will return as the MCU’s Captain America and what challenges he will face. There has been no official progress on Captain America 4. Marvel fans must assuage themselves with Marvel Comics’ Sam Wilson during the long wait.

Sam Wilson originally debuted as Falcon in Captain America #117 (1969) by Stan Lee and Gene Colan and became Captain America in Captain America #25 (2014) by Rick Remender. In the current Marvel Comics, Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers are sharing the mantel of Captain America – something that is unlikely to happen in the MCU with Chris Evan officially departing the franchise at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2018).
Sam Wilson leads the comic book series Captain America: Symbol of Truth, and Steve Rogers has Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty. This week, the first issue hit comic book stores, and fans got to see Sam Wilson team up with Marvel Comics’ current Falcon, Joaquín Torres (played by Danny Ramirez in the MCU).

The official description of Symbol of Truth reads:
“CAPTAIN AMERICA SOARS AGAIN! Sam Wilson picks up the shield once more — and enters a world of trouble! Following a lead from Misty Knight, Sam intercepts a mysterious group hijacking what appears to be an empty train. As he digs deeper, he discovers that the plot may be connected to a crucial piece of Captain America history…and, surprisingly, Wakanda. The world is ready for two Captain Americas — but is Sam Wilson ready for what comes next? Acclaimed writer Tochi Onyebuchi (BLACK PANTHER LEGENDS, Riot Baby) teams with Stormbreaker R.B. Silva (POWERS OF X, INFERNO, FANTASTIC FOUR) to open a thrilling new chapter of CAPTAIN AMERICA history!”

The first issue concluded with a tease of what will come next for Sam Wilson’s Captain America. And in issue #2, he will be teaming up with none other than the Merc with a Mouth himself, Wade Wilson/Deadpool.
The official synopsis for the team-up reads:
“After thwarting a train robbery with mysterious ties to the Super-Soldier Serum, Sam Wilson needs information. Unfortunately, the person he needs information from is Deadpool. Who’s in prison. In Latveria. No one said picking up the shield again would be easy…”
It looks like Sam Wilson will be breaking someone else out of prison just like he and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) did with Baron Zemo (David Brühl) in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It’s a little surprising that of the two Captain America’s currently in Marvel Comics, Deadpool is working with Sam and not Steve Rogers.

Wade Wilson and Steve Rogers have a long, somewhat unlikely, and tenuous friendship. Captain America is the only one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Deadpool respects. In Deadpool #31 (2017( by writer Gerry Dugan with art from Matteo Lolli, Wade was inspired by Captain America to join the Weapon X Program, where he got his powers.
Deadpool, Captain America, and Wolverine were all part of the super-solider program, which would evolve into the Weapon X Program. They all teamed up to stop a North Korean Super Soldier Program. Later after Wolverine died, they teamed up to prevent someone from using Logan’s DNA to clone him, and Captain America asked Wade to join his Avengers Unity Squad.
Now it’s time for Sam Wilson and Wade Wilson to forge their own team. Hopefully, Ryan Reynolds will get a chance to work with Anthony Mackie in the MCU after his cameo as Deadpool was cut from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Many Republicans running for Michigan governor, minus one big-name candidate, will meet in their first debate Thursday night.
Eight of 10 candidates will participate in the event organized and moderated by the Livingston County Republican Party and MIRS, a Lansing-based news outlet. One of the top contenders, former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, will be absent due to a prior speaking commitment at the Mechanical Contractors Association's annual meeting, according to his campaign.
“The chief looks forward to upcoming debates and opportunities to share his message with the voters,” the campaign said.
MIRS said Craig committed to the debate before pulling out.
Craig “is once again showing working families that, to him, leading from the front really just means cowering on the sidelines,” said Rodericka Applewhaite, spokesperson for the state Democratic Party.
Another debate, which has been sanctioned by the Michigan Republican Party, is planned for June 2 at the Detroit Regional Chamber's policy conference on Mackinac Island.
The winner of the Aug. 2 primary will advance to challenge Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November.
Three top GOP candidates, including Craig, are facing challenges to their petition signatures that, if successful, could keep them off the ballot. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/8-Republican-candidates-minus-Craig-to-meet-for-17168687.php | 2022-05-12T20:11:33Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/8-Republican-candidates-minus-Craig-to-meet-for-17168687.php | false | 11 |

A photo of the hoarding of an Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinic located above a pile of garbage has gone viral. In a smaller font, the name of the area, ‘Niti Vihar, Kirari, New Delhi’ has been mentioned.
A BJP MP tweeted the image saying, “This is Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party-ruled Delhi’s Mohalla Clinic.”
The post was quote-tweeted saying that this was the ground reality. Alt News found that the clinic was actually located in the vicinity of the name board.

The soaring cost of energy and raw materials has hit Mannok’s profits this year, but with demand for the company’s products remaining high it revenue is continuing to grow.
In its annual performance review, published this morning (Thursday), covering the 12 months ending on December 31, Mannok Holdings DAC it announced its revenue had increased by 16 percent €233.2m to €269.9m, which the company said reflected good volume growth and customer demand.
However, Mannok’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) for the year was €25.8 million, down from €31.1 million the year before.
The company said this was due to “substantial cost absorption” from mid-year last, including a 66 percent rise in energy costs, carbon credits increasing from around €33 to €80 per tonne, and price increases due to global raw material shortages.
The company said it demand was resilient, however, and was being supported by stronger cost recovery and a levelling out of energy prices which had driven stronger profitability post year end, following two challenging quarters.
Mannok added it had invested €12.7 million investment last year, bringing its investment in the company to €78.5 million to date, with a further €8 million investment planned for the coming months.
The company also said it was in the process of preparing for a “+€200m Green Investment that will transform Mannok’s production and distribution processes into one of the cleanest in its industry.”

Jan. 6 panel subpoenas McCarthy, four other GOP lawmakers
WASHINGTON (AP) — A House panel issued subpoenas Thursday to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other GOP lawmakers in its probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection, an extraordinary step that has little precedent and is certain to further inflame partisan tensions over the 2021 attack.
The panel is investigating McCarthy’s conversations with then-President Donald Trump the day of the attack and meetings the four other lawmakers had with the White House as Trump and his aides worked to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
Subpoenas for McCarthy, R-Calif., and Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer.
After the announcement, McCarthy, who aspires to be House speaker if Republicans take the majority in midterm elections, told reporters that “I have not seen a subpoena” and that his view on the committee has not changed since they asked for his voluntary cooperation earlier this year.
“They’re not conducting a legitimate investigation,” McCarthy said. “Seems as though they just want to go after their political opponents.”
The panel had previously asked for voluntary cooperation from the five men, along with a handful of other GOP lawmakers, but all of them refused to speak with the panel, which debated for months whether to issue the subpoenas.
“Before we hold our hearings next month, we wished to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily,” said Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the panel. “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.”
Congressional subpoenas for sitting members of Congress, especially for a party leader, have little precedent in recent decades, and it is unclear what the consequences would be if any or all of the five men decline to comply. The House has voted to hold two other noncompliant witnesses, former Trump aides Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows, in contempt, referring their cases to the Justice Department.
In announcing the subpoenas, the Jan. 6 panel said there is historical precedent for the move and noted that the House Ethics Committee has “issued a number of subpoenas to Members of Congress for testimony or documents,” though such actions are generally done secretly.
McCarthy has acknowledged that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, which happened as Trump’s supporters were beating police outside the Capitol and forcing their way into the building. But he has not shared many details. The committee requested information about his conversations with Trump “before, during and after” the riot.
McCarthy took to the House floor after the rioters were cleared and said in a forceful speech that Trump “bears responsibility” for the attack and that it was the “saddest day I have ever had” in Congress — even as he went on to join 138 other House Republicans in voting to reject the election results.
The GOP leader soon made up with Trump, though, visiting him in Florida and rallying House Republicans to vote against investigations of the attack.
The other four men were in touch with the White House for several weeks ahead of the insurrection, talking to Trump and his legal advisers about ways to stop the congressional electoral count on Jan. 6 to certify Joe Biden’s victory. Several of their efforts were detailed in texts released to the committee by Meadows, who was Trump’s chief of staff at the time.
“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 on the Capitol, and those who were involved in the planning and coordination of certain activities on and before January 6th,” the committee said in a release.

NEW YORK, May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIGA Technologies, Inc. (SIGA) (NASDAQ: SIGA), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the health security market, today announced that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awarded a contract to SIGA for the procurement of up to approximately $7.5 million of oral TPOXX, of which approximately $3.6 million of oral TPOXX is targeted for delivery in 2022 and the remainder is subject to an option at the sole discretion of the DoD.
SIGA has been collaborating with the DoD’s Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) to develop the Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) indication for TPOXX, and this work is supported by a separate development contract worth approximately $26 million. As a result, the DoD has drafted an Expanded Access Protocol (EAP)1 for TPOXX, which can be used for PEP purposes in certain DoD-affiliated personnel until the FDA approves TPOXX for PEP.
“We continue to make progress in securing new customers for TPOXX,” Phil Gomez, CEO of SIGA said. “We are pleased to be partnering with DoD to provide TPOXX to support the warfighter against smallpox as we continue development of the PEP indication.”
On July 13, 2018, the FDA approved oral TPOXX for the treatment of smallpox to mitigate the impact of a potential outbreak or bioterror attack. In December 2021, oral TPOXX was approved for the same indication by Health Canada. Tecovirimat (TPOXX) was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in January 2022 with a broader label that covers the treatment of smallpox, monkeypox, cowpox, and complications from vaccination for smallpox.
ABOUT SIGA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and TPOXX®
SIGA Technologies, Inc. is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the health security market. Health security comprises countermeasures for biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear attacks (biodefense market), vaccines and therapies for emerging infectious diseases, and health preparedness. Our lead product is TPOXX®, also known as tecovirimat and ST-246®, an orally administered and IV formulation antiviral drug for the treatment of human smallpox disease caused by variola virus. TPOXX is a novel small-molecule drug and the US maintains a supply of TPOXX under Project BioShield. The oral formulation of TPOXX was approved by the FDA for the treatment of smallpox in 2018. The full label is available by clicking here. Oral tecovirimat received approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2022. The EMA approval includes labeling for oral tecovirimat indicating its use for the treatment of smallpox, monkeypox, cowpox, and vaccinia complications following vaccination against smallpox. The full label is available by clicking here. In September 2018, SIGA signed a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for additional procurement and development related to both oral and intravenous formulations of TPOXX. For more information about SIGA, please visit www.siga.com.
About Smallpox
Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring and often deadly disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. Naturally-occurring smallpox was eradicated worldwide by 1980, the result of an unprecedented global immunization campaign. Samples of smallpox virus have been kept for research purposes. This has led to concerns that smallpox could someday be used as a biological warfare agent. A vaccine can prevent smallpox, but the risk of the current vaccine's side effects is too high to justify routine vaccination for people at low risk of exposure to the smallpox virus.

The iconic iPod line, which ushered in a revolution in the music industry two decades ago, is set to come to an end, with Apple announcing it will discontinue the iPod Touch.
On 10 May, Apple announced the iPod Touch, an iPhone-iPod hybrid device that was released in 2007, will be available only “while stocks last”.
More about Apple’s decision to end the iPod
‘Spirit of iPod lives on’
In a statement, Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said, “Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry — it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to, and shared.”
Joswiak added that the “spirit of iPod lives on” through the range of gadgets that Apple produces — iPhone, Apple Watch, HomePod mini, Mac, iPad, and Apple TV, among others.
“And Apple Music delivers industry-leading sound quality with support for spatial audio — there’s no better way to enjoy, discover, and experience music,” Joswiak underlined.
The iPod Touch is currently on sale on Apple’s official website, starting at USD 199 apiece. The device comes in three models — 32GB, 128GB and 256GB models — of six colours, including silver, pink, blue and gold.
The iPod Touch was released by the team which later invented the iPhone, the product which eventually sounded the death knell for the iPod.
A quick look at iPod’s history
The iPod was launched in 2001 and could store only 1,000 tracks. By contrast, Apple Music today has 90 million songs and over 30,000 playlists.
The first iPod was unveiled by Apple boss Steve Jobs with much fanfare and was a revolutionary gadget of its time.
“Music’s a part of everyone’s life. Music’s been around forever. It will always be around,” Jobs had said at the time during his presentation.
Everyone, from celebrities to major car brands, started using or integrating the iPod. Over the years, the original iPod was followed by more advanced models such as iPod Mini, iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle. All of these, except iPod Touch, were discontinued by 2017.
Apple provided the last update for the iPod service in 2019.

Brujan went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Angels. After going 0-for-3 in regulation, Brujan stepped up in the 10th for the Rays. The rookie ripped his first career extra-base hit into the left-field corner to bring home Kevin Kiermaier for the game-winning run, then swiped third and added an insurance tally on a Harold Ramirez single. Brujan has started two straight games since his promotion Tuesday, one in right field and one at second base, and while he may not have the bat to be an everyday player in the long run, if he can keep contributing with his speed and versatility, Tampa Bay will find playing time for him. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595985921420/astros-framber-valdez-scatters-nine-hits | 2022-05-12T20:32:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2595985921420/astros-framber-valdez-scatters-nine-hits | true | null |

NEW DELHI, May 12: India may consider negotiating a preferential trade agreement (PTA) with Oman to further boost economic ties between the countries, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.
India is also under active discussions with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for a comprehensive trade agreement, the minister said.
GCC is a union of six countries in the Gulf region, namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
“We may consider doing a preferential trade agreement with Oman to begin with because we are looking for a comprehensive agreement between the GCC region and India, (which is) under active discussion,” Goyal said.
In a PTA, trading partners reduce import duties on certain identified products to boost trade.
He also said that there is a vast potential to boost bilateral trade and investments between the countries.
The bilateral trade has increased from USD 5.4 billion in 2020-21 to USD 9.94 billion during 2021-2022.
Oman has also agreed to fast-track approval for Indian pharma products that are already registered by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), UK drug regulator MHRA and European Medicines Agency.
Speaking at the India-Oman business council meeting, Oman’s Minister for Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion Qais bin Mohammed al Yousef invited Indian businesses to explore opportunities.
He is leading a 40-member delegation to India.
Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Chair – FICCI India-Arab Council and Chairman, Sun International, said there is huge potential for both the countries to further strengthen economic ties.

METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — Investigators are working to find the person responsible after a Pit Bull Terrier was found barely alive under a New Orleans-area bridge.
A construction found the dog, now appropriately named “Hope,” in a kennel under the Clearview Overpass in Jefferson Parish. She was too weak to stand when she was rescued.
Chief investigators with the Jefferson Protection Animal Welfare Services (JPAWS) say despite their many years of animal services, they were shocked to see Hope’s condition.
Around-the-clock work from veterinarians at the Metairie Small Animal Hospital is being done to help save Hope’s life. Those wishing to donate to Hope’s care can donate can call Metairie Small Animal Hospital at 504-835-4266 and ask for Shawn Olsen, who is overseeing Hope’s account.
In the meantime, detectives have also started to Hope Reward Fund to locate the person responsible for Hope’s condition. A reward of $1,500 has been offered.
“Hope’s life hangs in the balance, and we are asking for the public’s help in identifying the person(s) responsible for causing Hope’s suffering. We are also very grateful to the professionals at JPAWS who responded so quickly and efficiently. Without their quick response, Hope likely would have not lasted more than a few more hours.”

Mom accused of killing her children knocked on neighbors’ doors telling them to ‘kill their kids,’ police say
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT/Gray News) - A Kentucky mother accused of murdering her children was back in court Thursday morning when some disturbing details of the alleged crime were revealed.
Nikki James had a preliminary hearing after Lexington police say she stabbed her two children to death on the night of May 2, WKYT reported.
WARNING: Graphic details below
Police say they received a number of 911 calls from neighbors saying that James was pounding on their doors telling them to “kill their kids and kill themselves.”
Detective Joshua Crowe testified that when the first officer arrived at the apartment complex he found James outside some of the apartments.
“She was covered in blood, had no pants, and had lacerations on her body,” Crowe said. “Upon contact, Ms. James began to strike the officer and was subsequently placed in handcuffs.”
Witnesses told police that James had told them she killed her children, 5-year-old Skylar Williams and 13-year-old Deon Williams.
“They were found to have no pulse, no breathing, and were suffering from several apparent wounds. It was multiple lacerations and stab wounds,” Crowe said.
Police say they took multiple weapons from the apartment.
James and the two children were transported to the hospital. Authorities said James had a number of injuries herself with a gash on her neck, one going down the front of her body and one on her hand.
“At the hospital, Ms. James made … statements referencing that someone had killed their kids but couldn’t kill theirself,” Crowe said.
The detective said James was placed on a psychiatric hold at the hospital before she was released.
The defense didn’t provide an argument against probable cause at the hearing and, as a result, the case was waived to a Fayette County Grand Jury.
At this point, there is no bond set in this case and James remains in custody at the Fayette County Detention Center.
Police also said they responded to two calls at James’s apartment the day before the murders happened. One time was for a welfare check and she was also served an eviction notice several times, but all were dismissed.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — A roadside bombing targeted a van carrying Pakistani security forces in the southern port city of Karachi on Thursday, killing a passerby and wounding 13 people, police said.
According to Sajjad Khan, a local police chief, the attack took place in the city’s Saddar neighborhood. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing but Karachi has witnessed several militant attacks in recent years.
Rescuers took the victims to a hospital, where some of the wounded were said to be in critical condition. Khan said the explosion was so powerful that it damaged several cars in the busy area, known for its restaurants. The police chief provided no further details and only said two members of the security forces were among the wounded.
Local TV footage showed police officers and bomb experts examining vehicles damaged in the bombing. Karachi is the capital of southern Sindh province.
Last month, a woman suicide bomber dressed in a female burqa head-to-toe covering killed three Chinese teachers and their Pakistani driver when she detonated her explosives inside a university campus in Karachi.
A separatist group known as the Baluchistan Liberation Army from the neighboring Baluchistan province claimed that attack. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Bombing-targets-Pakistani-security-forces-kills-17168788.php | 2022-05-12T20:39:29Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Bombing-targets-Pakistani-security-forces-kills-17168788.php | false | 11 |
U.S. natgas falls 4% on lower LNG feedgas ahead of storage report
May 12 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures slid about 4% on Thursday on an expected decline in flows to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants and ahead of a federal report expected to show last week's storage build was near normal due to moderate weather.
That decline in LNG feed gas - likely due to spring maintenance at some Gulf Coast facilities - and the U.S. price decline occurred despite a 20% jump in European futures TRNLTTFMc1 due to a drop in Russian gas flows after the shutdown of a pipe in Ukraine and worries Russian sanctions on some European energy firms could lead to further gas supply disruptions. NG/EU
Analysts forecast U.S. utilities added 79 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas to storage during the week ended May 6. That compares with an increase of 70 bcf in the same week last year and a five-year (2017-2021) average increase of 82 bcf.
If correct, last week's increase would boost stockpiles to 1.646 trillion cubic feet (tcf), or 15.8% below the five-year average of 1.955 tcf for this time of the year. EIA/GASNGAS/POLL
U.S. front-month gas futures NGc1 for June delivery were down 31.9 cents, or 4.2%, to $7.321 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) at 9:01 a.m. EDT (1301 GMT).
Despite recent declines, U.S. gas futures are still up about 95% so far this year as higher global prices have kept demand for U.S. LNG exports strong since Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. Gas was trading around $33 per mmBtu in Europe TRNLTTFMc1 and $23 in Asia JKMc1. The U.S. contract rose to a 13-year high near $9 on May 6.
The U.S. gas market remains mostly shielded from those higher global prices because the United States is the world's top gas producer, with all the fuel it needs for domestic use while capacity constraints inhibit exports of more LNG no matter how high global prices rise.
Data provider Refinitiv said average gas output in the U.S. Lower 48 states has climbed to 94.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) so far in May from 94.5 bcfd in April. That compares with a monthly record of 96.1 bcfd in November 2021.
Refinitiv projected average U.S. gas demand, including exports, would slide from 90.5 bcfd this week to 89.5 bcfd next week. The forecast for next week was lower than Refinitiv's outlook on Wednesday due to the decline in LNG feedgas.
On a daily basis, feed gas to U.S. LNG plants was on track to drop to a near four-week low of 11.7 bcfd due mostly to a decline at Cheniere Energy Inc's LNG.A Corpus Christi plant in Texas.
Since the United States will not be able to produce much more LNG anytime soon, it has worked with allies to divert LNG exports from elsewhere to Europe to help European Union (EU) countries and others break their dependence on Russian gas.
Russia exported about 8.5 bcfd of gas to Europe on Wednesday on the three mainlines into Germany - North Stream 1 (Russia-Germany), Yamal (Russia-Belarus-Poland-Germany) and the Russia-Ukraine-Slovakia-Czech Republic-Germany route - down from 9.0 bcfd on Tuesday and an average of around 11.9 bcfd in May 2021.
Gas stockpiles in Northwest Europe - Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands EUGAS/STORAGE - were about 16% below the five-year (2017-2021) average for this time of year, down from 39% below the five-year norm in mid-March, according to Refinitiv. Storage was currently about 34% of full capacity.
U.S. inventories, meanwhile, were also around 16% below their five-year norm. EIA/GASNGAS/POLL

Secretary-General Urges Tangible Support for Their Transition into Green Economies, as Chair Reports Rise over Previous Attendance
CASTRIES, Saint Lucia, 11 May — The 2022 Pacific Regional Seminar on Decolonization opened here today with “historic” representation for 11 of the 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories that remain on the United Nations list.
“It would be remiss of me not to also highlight the historic participation of the Territories in this year’s Seminar,” said Keisha Aniya McGuire (Grenada), Chair of the Special Committee on the Situation with Regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. She noted that their 2022 attendance rose by two over the previous record.
Such strong participation is not only welcome but is also a clear illustration that the decolonization agenda remains of paramount importance in the community of nations, she continued. She went on to note that in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2010, Saint Lucia chaired the Special Committee and successfully guided its work.
Prime Minister Philip Joseph Pierre, noting that 43 years have passed since Saint Lucia’s independence, declared: “During those four decades we have given honour to our act of self-determination by growing and protecting our democracy.” He noted that general elections have been held freely and fairly, in accordance with the electoral calendar established by the Constitution.
The Prime Minister, who also holds the Finance, Economic Development and Youth Economy Cabinet portfolios, noted that the will of the people has regularly changed Governments as the people have so desired. “But decolonization for us has to be more than raising the flag of independence,” he said, emphasizing that it must mean his Government will be making the teaching of African and Caribbean history an integral part of the school curriculum.
He went on to recall that in 1999, Saint Lucia hosted, for the first time, a Caribbean Regional Seminar, which produced important recommendations for the consideration of Member States. Stressing that the United Nations has an important statutory role to play in the future development of the Territories, he said the successful decolonization of more than 80 Territories since the Second World War reflects the effectiveness of that historic role. However, the international community is witnessing a period of “decolonization stagnation”, he pointed out.
Ironically, he noted, the Seminar is taking place during a governance crisis in the British Virgin Islands, in which the United Kingdom has indicated its intention to impose direct rule. It is ill-advised to impose direct colonial rule, he said, cautioning that the history of such impositions in the Caribbean has never delivered the desired result. There is, therefore, much work ahead, some of it quite complex, if there is to be a successful decolonization for the remaining Territories.
Expressing his fervent hope that the recommendations to emanate from the Seminar will be integrated, to the extent possible, into the decolonization resolutions, he said the accompanying financial and professional resources should be made available for implementation of those texts. He went on to encourage participants to take the time to enjoy their visit to Saint Lucia, the land of the two Pitons, the birthplace of two Nobel Laureates, and an island noted for rich, vibrant culture and traditions.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in his video message: “Coming from a former colonial Power, I sadly know that a straight line can be drawn from yesterday’s conquests and today’s challenges faced by Non-Self-Governing Territories.” They are particularly vulnerable because of persistent challenges that pre-date the pandemic, such as stretched health systems, economic woes and the real-time devastation of climate change, especially rising sea levels, he emphasized. The global community must build avenues of support from which the Territories can invest in sustainable recovery from the pandemic — this year’s theme, he pointed out — stressing the need for tangible support to help the Territories transition into green economies.
Held under the auspices of the Special Committee on Decolonization, the Seminar’s theme is “Advancement of the Non-Self-Governing Territories through the coronavirus disease (COVID‑19) pandemic and beyond”.
The Seminar held a discussion on the Special Committee’s role in defining challenges and opportunities of the Fourth International Decade and in promoting actions conducive to sustainable development in the Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Ms. McGuire (Grenada), Chair of the Special Committee, said the impacts of the COVID crisis are affecting efforts to realize the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. That is also the case for the Territories, she added. “Nothing seems more appropriate than to reflect on these aspects in the homeland of Willian Arthur Lewis, who, in 1979, won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions in the field of economic development.” She went on to state emphasize that the Special Committee has a clear mandate from the General Assembly to continue to examine the political, economic and social situation in the Territories.
Indonesia’s representative asked how many more international decades it will take to decolonize the remaining Territories, insisting that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. He announced that his country will host the next regional seminar.
Sierra Leone’s representative drew attention to the multidimensional impacts of COVID-19, while stressing the need for innovative ways to implement the decolonization mandate. The regional seminars are one effective means to do so, he said.
Timor-Leste’s representative, while expressing his delegation’s great pride in being a success story of decolonization, pointed out that 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remain, and the Special Committee has a special responsibility in that process.
Tunisia’s representative welcomed the Seminar’s agenda, as well as the contribution of the United Nations Secretariat, saying the global challenges posed by COVID-19 require inclusive solutions and underscoring the importance of cooperation and dialogue.
Cuba’s representative emphasized it is time to strengthen decolonization efforts during the Fourth International Decade, expressing her delegation’s unshakable commitment and encouraging multilateralism.
Dominica’s representative asked the Secretary-General to provide resources for the Plan of Action and challenged the United Nations to be bold and decisive in its cause, emphasizing the need to devote the same level of energy to help the peoples of the Non-Self-Governing Territories suffering decades of colonial rule as to those suffering in the Ukraine war.
Chile’s representative noted that the Chair’s efforts propel Grenada at the United Nations.
Bolivia’s representative said decolonization is an area that has seen the greatest progress and called for unity to help the Territories in the post-pandemic period.
Venezuela’s representative said the Seminar’s discussions should yield a realistic analysis of the situation in the Territories in the pursuit of a world free of colonialism.
Papua New Guinea’s representative saluted Saint Lucia’s hosting of two seminars and chairing of the Special Committee six times, saying he is honoured to serve as Rapporteur. He said it was incumbent upon the Committee that people of the Territories do not fend for themselves at this time of pandemic.
The Seminar then held a discussion on perspectives of the administering Powers, the Non-Self-Governing Territories and other stakeholders, on the theme “Political developments in the Non-Self-Governing Territories in the Pacific region”.
Engel Raygadas, Deputy Permanent Secretary for International, European and Pacific Affairs of French Polynesia, noted the political divide that has existed for the last 40 years between those in favour of broad autonomy within the French Republic, and those seeking independence. The autonomist parties in favour of a strong partnership with France have won all the elections, except in 2004, he recalled. In 2013 and 2018, they again won the general elections by a wide margin, which gives a good indication of public opinion, he said, adding that during the 2018 vote, French Polynesia hosted an observation mission from the Pacific Islands Forum which testified to the transparency of the electoral process.
Melvin B. Won Pat-Borja, Executive Director of the Commission on Decolonization of Guam, pointed out that the working paper on that Territory makes no mention of its recent engagement with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on minority rights, who visited Guam in November 2021. He said the Special Rapporteur’s findings highlight the significant lack of indigenous and minority rights and protections for the Territory’s colonized Chamoru people, for whom the experience is compounded by the administering Power’s selective application of domestic law. That serves to prolong Guam’s colonial status, he added. The findings also highlight the administering Power’s historical and ongoing wrongdoing in hindering and obstructing the exercise of self-determination by allowing uncontrolled immigration, he noted, saying the Commission on Decolonization of Guam will pursue a referral to the International Court of Justice. It will request that the Special Rapporteur’s findings be referenced and included in any documents pertaining to Guam put forth by the Special Committee, he added.
Mickael Forrest, member of the government of New Caledonia, said that since the Territory’s re-inscription on the list in 1986, the Special Committee has regularly accompanied it by sending missions and electoral observation teams with the objective of finding a political solution between the administering Power and all the stakeholders of the Nouméa Accord. Describing how COVID-19 impacted the lives of New Caledonia’s people, he acknowledged the support of the administrating Power in reducing transmissions. New Caledonia’s actions have created inequalities in the population, disproportionally affecting the Kanak people, he emphasized, pointing out that about 56 per cent of them abstained from voting in the third referendum. The United Nations could play an essential role in determining the most judicious ways to decolonize New Caledonia, he stressed.
Michael Lujan Bevacqua, expert, said important work has been taking place in recent years to create educational resources and programmes to support a robust campaign around the Territory’s decolonization. However, the administering Power’s apathy remains a looming challenge, he noted, emphasizing that consistency and engagement from the United States are missing. Whereas the administering Power has provided funding to support political development and self-determination, he added, at the same time, it seeks to attack the very existence of Guam’s indigenous people through lawsuits aimed at taking away their right to hold a plebiscite on their preferred political status.
John Connell, expert and Professor at the University of Sydney, gave an overview of his examination of the experience of COVID-19 in six Pacific Non-Self-Governing Territories — Guam, American Samoa, Pitcairn, Tokelau, French Polynesia and New Caledonia. The Territories lacking the authority to make decisions on border control and other emergency measures were more largely impacted by the pandemic, he said.
France’s representative said the Secretary-General transmitted to Paris the report of the United Nations electoral panel of experts for the third referendum in New Caledonia, held on 12 December 2021. The report is not public yet, she said, adding that it will be transmitted to the various stakeholders in New Caledonia for the sake of transparency. Noting that the outcome of three referendums is consistent, she emphasized that a majority of the electorate wish to remain with France.
Papua New Guinea’s representative pointed out that only 44 per cent participated in the third referendum and called for a more inclusive process. He proposed that the Special Committee request the dissemination of information and data by the administrating Power regarding the impacts of COVID on the third referendum.
Naïa Wateou, expert, said New Caledonians expressed their wish to remain within the French Republic and emphasized that their will must be respected. Rejecting an attempt to change the situation “when the outcome of the votes does not suit you”, she deplored the boycott and insisted the vote was held properly and legitimately.
Dimitri Qenegei, expert, warned that the Nouméa Accord is in jeopardy. The administering Power has reoriented to a colonial method and President Emmanuel Macron of France made a unilateral decision to conduct the third referendum, he stressed.
France’s representative, inviting the Special Committee to dispatch a visiting mission to New Caledonia, expressed her country’s readiness to cooperate with the United Nations on COVID-19 statistics. She went on to emphasize that COVID did not stop the proper conduct of the third referendum.
Robert Kapoeri, expert, said New Caledonia consists of three provinces, two of which are in the hands of the pro-independence population. The Kanaks experienced difficulty going to the polls due to lockdown and other pandemic-related restrictive measures, he noted, adding that the boycott meant that voters were even more heavily affected.
Ms. Wateou emphasized that the pandemic could have been worse without the support of France, including its establishment of 60 vaccine sites. New Caledonia and France complement each other’s efforts to stop the virus, she said.
Mr. Qunegei stressed that the Kanaks do not accept re-colonization and called for efforts to bring the colonial Power to reason.
Joseph Bossano, former Chief Minister of Gibraltar, urged the Special Committee to consider creating guidelines or minimum standards in percentage terms for the participation of indigenous peoples in a vote.
Mr. Raygadas emphasized that the Pacific Regional Seminar should be held in the Pacific so that participants can see the reality of Oceania and the Pacific first-hand. With Indonesia unable to host the Seminar, other countries in the Pacific should have stepped up, he insisted.
Mr. Forrest said life in New Caledonia is returning to normal and emphasized the need to see what the territorial government is doing.
The Seminar then heard a discussion on perspectives of the administering Powers, the Non-Self-Governing Territories and other stakeholders under the theme “Political developments in the Non-Self-Governing Territories in the Caribbean region”.
Kenneth Hodge, Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration, Labour, Information and Broadcasting and Physical Planning of Anguilla, said that Territory’s constitutional history dates back to the 1960s, when the United Kingdom attempted colonization in the Caribbean by creating the West Indies Federation in 1958. When that disintegrated, Anguilla was joined with Saint Kitts and Nevis to form the so-called tristate in association with the United Kingdom, he recalled. It had a semi-independent constitution and enjoyed full internal self-government, with the administering Power overseeing external defence and foreign affairs, he said. However, Anguillans quickly demonstrated their dissatisfaction with associated statehood, he added.
Based on the consultations from the 2017 Constitutional Committee, the two main public demands for constitutional reform were to improve democracy and standards in public life, he said, recalling the proposal to increase the number of elected members in the House of Assembly. In November 2019, a team from the United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office visited Anguilla to undertake negotiations on a new constitution, he said, emphasizing that Anguillans are committed to forging the next steps forward in creating their own destiny by formulating a charter that sets the path towards realization of their dreams.
Benito Wheatley, Special Envoy of the Premier of the British Virgin Islands, said the past 14 days have been a rollercoaster ride. “We were shocked” by the arrest of the former Premier and Minister for Finance in Miami on 28 April, he added, expressing disappointment and embarrassment at his actions, revealed in United States courts. The commission of inquiry report, scheduled for release in June, was published the day after the former leader’s arrest, which threw an already grieving society into a tailspin, he said. It also strengthened calls in certain quarters for the imposition of direct rule on the people of the British Virgin Islands, as recommended by the commission of inquiry report, and increased pressure on the United Kingdom to take on that undesirable course of action.
The United Kingdom’s Minister for Overseas Territories said she visited the British Virgin Islands on 2 and 3 May, adding that the political discussion was frank, open and constructive. Expressing grave concern about governance issues, she said the sentiment against direct rule is not only strong in the British Virgin Islands, but also across the Caribbean, where Governments and people genuinely want to see the United Kingdom break with its past and stand up as a champion of freedom and democracy. However, no decision has been made on whether direct rule should be imposed, she stated, stressing that the Territory’s new government of national unity has pledged to work for the people’s best interests and to undertake reforms.
John J. Malcolm, Deputy Speaker of the Turks and Caicos Islands House of Assembly, warned that the British Virgin Islands faces the looming and inevitable suspension of parts of their constitution, emphasizing: “This is a digression from the noble ideals of advancing to self-determination for the people of that Territory.” Recalling his own Territory’s similar experience, he said parts of its constitution were suspended on two occasions, in 1986 and 2009. Now the same scenario is being played out in another Non-Self-Governing Territory. “This is a set-up to impose direct rule from London, it is a set-up that results in a setback in our progress towards self-determination,” he declared.
When it comes to the advancement of decolonization in the Turks and Caicos, the overarching problem is fear of the unknown, which is unfounded, he said, stressing that many other countries in the region have successfully undertaken the decolonization process. He quoted one of his consultants who said the Turks and Caicos people are unprepared for self-determination because insufficient progress has been made in training them to assume key public service and private sector positions. He went on to underline that the Turks and Caicos have come a long way since the ‘80s and ‘90s in accomplishing that. The public service is undergoing a radical transformation, recruiting scores of university-trained young people and returnees armed with degrees, he said.
Carlyle G. Corbin, international adviser on governance and Senior Analyst at the Dependency Studies Project, said that 13 of the 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories recognized by the General Assembly as not having achieved the full measure of self-government are in the Caribbean and the Pacific, noting that the United Kingdom and the United States are the principal administering Powers in that region. France and the United States are the main administering Powers in the Pacific, he said, adding that the region’s Territories are administered through a variety of arrangements entailing unilateral authority with degrees of reversible delegated power extended to the elected territorial governments.
He went on to state that a plethora of decolonization resolutions followed the General Assembly’s inscription of the Territories by resolution 66 (I)of 1946. Their implementation can be examined within three periods — engagement from 1946 to 1960, acceleration from 1960 to 1990, and deceleration thenceforward, he said, explaining that the slowdown is attributed to certain geostrategic changes at the end of the cold war and the related diminishing of decolonization as a United Nations priority.
Wilma E. Reveron Collazo, expert, said COVID-19 has had a severe economic and social impact on the Territories and delayed the self-determination agenda. Even before the pandemic, the Caribbean Territories faced difficulties, including the impacts of hurricanes Irma and María in 2017, and the political crises in the region, she added. Recovery from the pandemic must lead to transformation of the economic model, the strengthening of democracy, the guarantee of human rights and sustainable peace, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, she emphasized. The lack of sovereignty to make decisions on strategic matters, such as control of air and maritime spaces and the freedom to enter commercial relationships so as to acquire much-needed items to address COVID, revealed the limitations of political relations with the administering Power, she said, pointing out that the territorial government of Puerto Rico could not even make the decision to close the airports and prohibit the entry of cruise ship tourists.
The representative of Antigua and Barbuda expressed support for the objection of the British Virgin Islands to the recommendation of direct rule by the administrating Power. “The imposition of direct rule, and the history of such impositions in the Caribbean, was never intended to deliver democratic governance or to be an instrument of economic and social development of our countries and peoples,” he emphasized, pointing out that such an action would be inconsistent with resolution 1514 (XV) of 1960.
Grenada’s representative underscored the roles of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in supporting efforts for the political, constitutional and socioeconomic advancement of the Territories in the region, also reiterating his delegation’s support for the opposition of the British Virgin Islands to suspension of parts of the constitution and restoration of direct rule.
Sidi Mohamed Omar, Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguía el-Hamra and Río de Oro (Frente Polisario), warned against the dangerous logic that indigenous peoples needed colonial Powers to become civilized.
Cuba’s representative emphasized that the United States cannot take away Puerto Rican people’s identity, noting that their economic situation has deteriorated since last year. Cuba affirms their right to self-determination in line with resolution 1514 (XV) of 1960, he reiterated.
Venezuela’s representative said the political subordination of Puerto Rico to the United States prevented its people from making sovereign decisions, adding that no significant progress has been made due to lack of action by that country’s Government.
Bolivia’s representative urged Puerto Rico’s administering Power to enable the Territory to assert its full independence.
Mr. Bossano brought up the issue of “modern partnerships” between the Territories and the administrating Powers.
Mr. Raygadas cautioned against generalizing about the situation in the 13 Territories mentioned by Mr. Corbin, urging a case-by-case approach to the unique situation in each Territory.
Mr. Wheatley emphasized that “modern partnerships” do not equate to decolonization.
Mr. Forrest underscored the involvement of the Special Committee in New Caledonia, evaluating every Territory on a case-by-case basis.
In 1960, the General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, subsequently proclaiming the International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism (1990 to 2000), as well as the Second and Third International Decades (2001-2010 and 2011-2020). More than 80 former colonies have gained their independence since the creation of the United Nations, but 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remain under the Special Committee’s purview.
The Non-Self-Governing Territories are American Samoa, Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands (Malvinas)*, French Polynesia, Gibraltar, Guam, Montserrat, New Caledonia, Pitcairn, Saint Helena, Tokelau, Turks and Caicos Islands, United States Virgin Islands and Western Sahara. The administering Powers are France, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States.
In other business, the Seminar adopted its agenda (document PRS/2022/CRP.1) and provisional programme of work (document PRS/2022/CRP.2). The Chair appointed Menissa Marcelle (Saint Lucia) and Gbolié Desiré Wulfran Ipo (Côte d’Ivoire) as Vice-Chairs, and Fred Sarufa (Papua New Guinea) as Rapporteur.
The Seminar will reconvene on Thursday, 12 May, to continue its work.

Kevin De Bruyne insists he is not interested in individual praise as he looks to close out the title for Manchester City.
The Belgian playmaker was at his brilliant best as he struck four times in City’s 5-1 thrashing of Wolves at Molineux on Wednesday.
It maintained a stunning run of form that has now seen him score 11 times in his last 13 appearances in all competitions.
After the first half of his season was marred by fitness issues, De Bruyne has undoubtedly been the key figure as City have moved to the brink of a fourth Premier League crown in five seasons.
He is arguably now in the best shape of his career but the 30-year-old is not interested in how his own performances rank.
De Bruyne said: “I think from the moment where my ankle was pain free, I have played a really good season.
“I have been consistently thinking I’ve been playing good and have also been playing games without any interruptions.
“So I’m really happy from that part but it’s not really what I want to do. I want to win the title and I want to get ready to win the game on Sunday. We’re not there yet and it’s going to be a really tough one, West Ham away.”
City will have a chance to put one hand on the trophy when they travel to the London Stadium.
Wednesday’s rout restored a three-point advantage over second-placed Liverpool at the top with just two games remaining and also improved their goal difference to plus seven better than their Merseyside rivals’.
De Bruyne opened the scoring after just seven minutes and completed a sensational hat-trick of goals with his supposed weaker left foot inside 24 minutes. He added a fourth on the hour and even hit a post late on.
He almost created another goal for Phil Foden, who also hit a post, but City did register a fifth through Raheem Sterling.
De Bruyne said: “I think we played well and then obviously we scored three quick goals, and that set the tempo and the game we wanted to play.
“I think in the second half we did really well, we controlled it. We could have scored more goals but we did what we needed to do.”
The downside for City was the loss of Aymeric Laporte in the second half with a knee injury while Fernandinho also suffered a muscular problem.
The pair had been the starting centre-halves in the absence of John Stones and Ruben Dias. With Kyle Walker also out and Nathan Ake not fit enough to start, City are running out of defensive options.
Wolves exploited City’s weakness in this area as they briefly pegged them back at 1-1 with a breakaway goal from Leander Dendoncker but they could not handle the potency of the attack.
Fitness coach Carlos Cachada, standing in for Bruno Lage following the manager’s positive test for Covid-19, felt it was a game to write off and move on from.
“We look at things game by game,” he said. “We lost this game but we now have Norwich and we (will) try to react (to win) as many points as we can until the end of the season. We have six points to fight for.
“City are a top team, we understand that, and have to move on and think about Norwich.” | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4283459/kevin-de-bruyne-more-interested-in-city-winning-the-title-than-individual-praise/ | 2022-05-12T20:56:34Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4283459/kevin-de-bruyne-more-interested-in-city-winning-the-title-than-individual-praise/ | false | 12 |
After 12 videogames, 35 books, 21 years and eight episodes of television, Master Chief did it: he had sex.
Finally, right? Like all Halo fans, from the first moment I stepped into Master Chief's armor on the Pillar of Autumn I've been thinking: This guy needs to get some. Yeah, I was busy shooting aliens and driving around in a cool jeep, but it was always hard to fully enjoy the experience when such an obvious, crucial piece was missing. In the back of my head the question constantly reverberated: When was Master Chief going to have some sex? What was the purpose of this videogame if it didn't culminate in the husky-voiced savior of humanity stripping off all of his armor except the helmet and giving himself, body and soul, to pure carnal lust?
And yet it never happened. Not in the sequel, or the one after that, or even one with a jazz soundtrack that was clearly written for rainy, romantic evenings. No wonder the Halo series has always been wildly unpopular—they somehow kept forgetting to put the sex in it. I kept buying them like some kind of sucker, certain the next one would be the one with the sex in it, but it never happened.
After two decades, the Halo TV series on Paramount+ has set things right. First, it gave us Master Chief without his helmet—boldly jettisoning the defining characteristic of his videogame counterpart, a man who had his humanity stolen from him and was more machine than the AI that hung out in his head. Ha ha! Begone, subtext!
Next it showed us his ass, but not in a sexy way. Understandable: When you've gone without sex for 20 years, you've gotta work up to it.
Now the moment so long denied by destiny has arrived. The early hours of the Halo TV series may have been light on vibes, but one episode away from the season finale, it's finally heavy on petting. Master Chief had sex, on television. Not with his one true love, the AI Cortana, whose doomed romance with the Chief has formed the narrative throughline to six games. That would be silly. They'd have to cyber or something, and how do you make that look good on TV? Not hot enough.
So the Halo TV series added some kink: Master Chief would have sex, and Cortana would watch. Sadly.
A powerful scene—one I unfortunately can't embed as it's meant to be experienced, but for only $4.99 a month, you too can witness the moment Master Chief truly became Master Chief exclusively on Paramount Plus (taxes & fees apply). Our years of agonized waiting are over.
I apologize for the spoiler, Halo fans. It's just, you know, we've all been waiting for this for so long. | https://www.pcgamer.com/master-chief-had-sex/ | 2022-05-12T21:03:23Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/master-chief-had-sex/ | false | 3 |
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington state Supreme Court ruled Thursday people can be cited for driving under the influence for driving while high, a decision that upholds the state’s decade-old law regulating marijuana use behind the wheel of a car.
The Seattle Times reports all nine justices rejected Douglas Fraser’s argument that his 2017 DUI was based on an arbitrary and vague standard for THC levels in the blood. Although the justices acknowledged that the correlation between THC levels and impairment is challenging to pinpoint, they found that blood measurements nevertheless provide a useful and constitutionally acceptable measurement.
“Although this limit may not be perfect in terms of identifying degree of impairment for all individuals, it is reasonably and substantially related to recent consumption, which is related to impairment,” Justice G. Helen Whitener wrote in the court’s majority opinion, which was signed by her eight colleagues.
A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled over Fraser in July 2017 after seeing him speeding, driving alone in an HOV lane, changing lanes erratically and cutting off other drivers, according to the trooper.
When the trooper approached the car, he noticed Fraser was wearing an employee badge from a local cannabis dispensary, which Fraser then removed.
The trooper said Fraser was shaking, sweating and had dark circles under his eyes.
According to the trooper, Fraser said he had smoked “half a day” earlier but that he no longer felt impaired. After performing several field tests, the trooper arrested Fraser on suspicion of DUI.
A test later showed Fraser had a THC blood concentration of 9.4 nanograms per milliliter, with a margin of error of 2.5. That put his THC blood concentration above the state’s 5 ng/ml limit.
Fraser argued in court that the limit was not correlated to any real measure of impairment and was therefore arbitrary, vague and unconstitutional. He backed his opinion with testimony from a doctor who said the effect of a given level of THC can vary significantly from person to person, depending on body fat and frequency of cannabis use. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/05/12/wa-high-court-drivers-can-get-duis-for-driving-while-high.html | 2022-05-12T21:03:37Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/us/2022/05/12/wa-high-court-drivers-can-get-duis-for-driving-while-high.html | true | 12 |
Benue guber: Aondoakaa kicks over APC voluntary withdrawal form
•Says candidates risk losing mandate
Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mike Aondoakaa, has expressed strong disapproval over the letter of voluntary withdrawal attached to the expression of interest and nomination forms for aspirants seeking elective offices on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former AGF who is a governorship aspirant in Benue State on the platform of the APC deplored the voluntary withdrawal form tagged, “Form 18” while speaking with journalists after submitting his nomination forms.
The form which aspirants, particularly presidential hopefuls have said was meant to bully them to accept a consensus plot read in part: “I hereby voluntarily withdraw my candidacy from the contest. My withdrawal is in the best interest of our great party, the All Progressives Congress.”
Aondoakaa who disclosed to newsmen that he did not fill the form warned that it has dire consequences for any candidate on the platform of the APC as his mandate could be annulled through a court pronouncement.
He noted that such form could be presented in Court that such candidate actually withdrew from the race and did not participate in the election.
He said:”Unfortunately, I did not sign and I sought clearance. The implication is a two way traffic. If you sign that agreement now and you win election and the opponent come to know that you signed the agreement, I can bet you your election will be invalidated.
“If you sign an agreement you have withdrawn from the race, assuming you win the election, you participate in the general election. The opposition party will file an action that you did not partake in the election and when that form is subpoenaed, it is produced you have withdrawn from the election.
So you can not be part of it. So, I think what the leadership of the party intended is to have that withdrawal in the case at the time of primaries people want to withdraw in compliance with the Electoral Act, they just fill in there and a Commissioner for oaths will endorse it. “It can not be intended that you withdraw before you participate, it looks absurd because if you win the election, the election will be invalid.”
Speaking on insecurity in the North Central state occasioned by farmers-herders clashes, the former Minister of Justice said no ethnic group should be stigmatized as all hands must be on deck to confront the security challenge which he maintained was not peculiar to Benue State.
“Benue is not the only one with insecurity. Insecurity is all over the country.
The insecurity started during our time when I was in the office because of the collapse of the government in Libya people moved with small weapons down to South Sahara, down to our region. And most of them who were in the Libya Army were blacks.
So, after Gaddafi was overthrown, the new government and you know that there was no strong government in Libya and there was kind of persecution and most of the soldiers ran with light weapons and they came in. “The insecurity is an external aggression that is spreading within the country but it is something that after some years it will go.
“We will overcome it and that is why I will not expect insecurity to be something a politician will use. There are many valid things to use. You don’t talk security on the pages of newspaper and you also don’t shout security. Something that governors should join hands with the federal government to find a solution. It is a delicate issue.
It is something that started during our time and we were not loud about it. We had cooperation from the governors that time. I was the Attorney General, we had issues and we were resolving them. I don’t know why others make news out of it. Because if you say it is only Benue it isn’t correct. “You have happenings in Plateau, Katsina, Zamfara.
The next set of governors, which I hope to be in the North should come together and form a strong security buffer to protect our northern part of the country because the influx of these criminals is coming more to us. It is not something you will say I am APC, I am PDP then you start looking for a tribe to blame.
In Benue if you say Fulani are killing us what will Masari say in Kastina? They are Fulani but the attacks are more vicious. It is something that goes beyond accusations amongst ourselves and be able to solve the problem once and for all.”

Status of abortion in Oregon: No legal restrictions
If the U.S. Supreme Court ends abortion as a federal constitutional right and returns the issue to the states, abortion rights supporters in Oregon will start with the law on their side.
State lawmakers passed a bill in 2017 that guarantees women access to reproductive health services, including abortion. Though the guarantee is not part of the Oregon Constitution, it makes Oregon one of a handful of states that has specified legal protection for abortion.
Oregon lawmakers removed state penalties for abortion in 1969, four years before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized it in its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. Since then, lawmakers did try to impose some restrictions. All the attempts were during the eight years that Republicans held majorities in both chambers. But they were turned back.
"Oregon does not have any of the major types of abortion restrictions — such as waiting periods, mandated parental involvement or limitations on publicly funded abortions — often found in other states," the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights, reported in January.
Brown: 'Let's not give up'
Kate Brown was a Democratic lawmaker in the 1990s, when Republicans promoted bills to require parental notification before a minor could obtain an abortion. One bill passed the Senate but died in the House in 1995, when several Republicans joined Democrats to reject it. A second attempt passed both chambers in 1999, when Brown was Senate Democratic leader. But then-Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat and a physician, vetoed it, as well as a human services budget that omitted state money for abortions. (The money was restored, and Kitzhaber signed the revised budget.)
Brown as governor signed the 2017 access law, which requires private insurance plans to cover a range of reproductive health services including abortion — there is an exception for religious employers — and sets up a fund for women who would otherwise qualify for state-supported abortions except for their immigration status. The Oregon Health Plan covers them for low-income women, although the money comes entirely from state funds. (A 1976 restriction bars use of federal funds for abortions with some exceptions.)
Brown released a one-minute video statement the day after Politico disclosed a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion reversing the 1973 decision. She said:
"Access to abortion is a basic, fundamental right and is protected by state law in Oregon. I will fight to keep it that way, no matter what the U.S. Supreme Court decides.
"But let me be very, very clear: You cannot ban abortion. You can only ban safe abortion. Overturning Roe and jeopardizing access to safe legal abortion is an issue that affects all of us. We cannot and will not let our country take this huge step backward.
"The Supreme Court does not reflect the values of the majority of Americans. Don't lose hope. Let's not give up. Let's fight like hell. People in this country deserve access to fundamental basic health care, including abortion."
According to the Guttmacher Institute, 23% of Oregon women lived in counties without access to abortion in 2017.
Partisan split
The 2017 law passed largely along party lines. No Republicans voted for it; only one Democrat, John Lively of Springfield, voted against it. Among those voting for it were Tina Kotek, then House speaker and current Democratic candidate for governor, and Betsy Johnson, then a Democratic state senator, who is making an independent bid for governor.
Most Republican candidates for governor oppose abortion rights, and one of them, Bridget Barton, acknowledged that it would probably take a Republican governor and Republican legislative majorities to take action. That hasn't happened since the mid-1950s.
"Without legislative approval, clearly nothing" will happen, Barton said during a four-candidate debate sponsored by the City Club of Portland and television station KGW. "As the governor, I would need to have the Legislature act first. As you know, we have super-minorities at this moment."
Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, said she welcomes the prospect of the Supreme Court returning the issue to the states.
"We welcome the opportunity to craft legislation that reflects Oregon values, supports women, and protects innocent life," she said. "The pro-life movement supports women during and after pregnancy. We will continue to do so."
Voters say no
But Oregon voters have rejected five ballot initiatives over four decades to impose restrictions on abortions:
• In 2018, voters rejected a proposed constitutional ban on public funding of abortions, 65% to 35%.
• In 2006, voters rejected a 48-hour requirement for parental notification and discipline for physicians who perform abortions, 55% to 45%.
• In 1990, voters rejected a proposed constitutional ban on abortions with three exceptions, 68% to 32%. By 52% to 48%, they rejected a parental notice requirement.
• In 1986, voters rejected a proposed constitutional ban on state funding of abortions, with an exception to save the life of the mother, 55% to 45%.

Proving that indeed, a biased, partisan, broken clock can be right twice a day, the folks over at Vox have stumbled upon reality that rebuts what Democrats — including President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — have claimed about the radical budgetary plans they haven't been able to pass through the Democrat-led Congress.
Noting the stalemate for Biden's "build back better" budget (that is as woke as can be, not to mention wasteful) means the president and his party have little to show for their 15 or so months in power other than the "American Rescue Plan" passed last March, Vox asks an obvious question: Did Biden and Democrats' big spending binge "contribute to the country’s current inflationary mess?"
Vox apparently found it impossible to ignore reality or parrot the Biden administration's claims about the need for even more spending to fight inflation:
Countries around the world are struggling with inflation due to pandemic disruptions, but the Biden stimulus made the US’s inflation problem more severe, to at least some extent. “I think we can say with certainty that we would have less inflation and fewer problems that we need to solve right now if the American Rescue Plan had been optimally sized,” said Wendy Edelberg, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution.
Inflation has brought with it two big problems. The first is already evident: Because most Americans’ wages haven’t risen enough to keep up with it, real (inflation-adjusted) wages have been declining at the highest rate in four decades.
The second problem is, if inflation remains so persistent, what reining it in could entail. The Federal Reserve has started raising interest rates in an effort to cool down the economy. They’re trying to do so gingerly, aiming for a “soft landing.” But if demand and investment end up plummeting in response, the US could face a painful recession.
"The American Rescue Plan was drafted with good intentions," Vox concludes, "but it caused real problems."
From @voxdotcom: 'Biden’s American Rescue Plan worsened inflation. The question is how much.' The answer is a lot. The president and his party bear significant responsibility for today's inflation. https://t.co/dfiXD0etvn pic.twitter.com/xHp1iU7DGj
— Byron York (@ByronYork) May 12, 2022
What's more, Vox even cites data that debunks President Biden's claims, as recently as this week, that the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine were to blame — and that his policies had nothing to do with it:
Inflation has been happening across the world, caused by pandemic-related disruptions, and exacerbated this year by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s Covid-19 lockdowns. Even before the American Rescue Plan passed, “the seeds for a high-inflation environment were already planted,” said Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
But regarding the exact amount of inflation, the US stands out. And it started to stand out shortly after President Biden took office.
And there it is. Democrats, according to Vox, "wrongly concluded that a stimulus far in excess of what models said was necessary was the less risky option" because they believed "they were still in the 'money printer go brrr' era, where there was less pressure to be judicious about where that money was going — so instead of targeting help to those who needed it, they sent hundreds of billions of dollars to well-off Americans and states doing just fine, for political reasons."
As Biden and his party barrel toward November's midterms with little more than an infrastructure bill and the American Rescue Plan to make the case for why Democrats should be kept in power on Capitol Hill, Vox reads the writing on the wall: If Democrats don't turn things around for the economy this year or especially before 2024, they'll face electoral consequences and the Democrats' politically-motivated spending binge will not have been worth it. | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/05/12/vox-stumbles-upon-truth-bidens-spending-binge-made-inflation-worse-n2607137 | 2022-05-12T21:07:37Z | https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/05/12/vox-stumbles-upon-truth-bidens-spending-binge-made-inflation-worse-n2607137 | true | 1 |

In the wake of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v Wade, a handful of state and local Republican politicians appeared to support proposals restricting access to birth control.
In Arkansas and Louisiana, some Republican lawmakers announced their support for bills that would effectively result in immediate bans on certain emergency contraception, including copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) or Plan B, the so-called morning after pill, if the Supreme Court indeed overturns Roe. In Idaho and Michigan, conservative lawmakers and candidates expressed interest in proposals that would directly restrict access to emergency contraceptives.
The reasoning behind such proposals is old: antiabortion groups have long argued that such contraception is tantamount to abortion, since it prevents a pregnancy after unprotected sex has occurred. What’s new is that these proposals might, suddenly, have legal traction.
“It’s absolutely clear that the Supreme Court’s decision—if it does emerge along the lines of the leaked opinion by Justice Alito—would…open the door to restrictions on birth control, same sex marriage, sexual intimacy, and other forms of intimate personal decision-making,” says Laurence Tribe, professor of constitutional law at Harvard University tells TIME.
The draft opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, says that any right not mentioned in the Constitution but implicitly protected by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment must be “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.” According to Tribe and other legal experts, such language leaves wide open the possibility that the Supreme Court would allow state laws restricting access to birth control to stand. Access to copper IUDs and the morning-after pill arguably are not deeply rooted in American history.
Alito’s language doesn’t only leave the door open, Tribe says; it “basically shove states that have that inclination right through the door.”
The constitutional right to birth control may be in jeopardy
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a final ruling in June. If the justices do indeed overturn Roe in its entirety, the legal landscape surrounding abortion and other reproductive rights will explode overnight, says Rachel Rebouché, interim dean of the Temple University Beasley School of Law and expert on public health law. “The arguments that will erupt, and the litigation, and the debate around definitions like what is and what is not an abortion…the landscape we’re going to confront when Roe is overturned,” she says, “is going to be incredibly complex.”
In Louisiana, state legislators have moved forward on a bill that would classify all abortion as a homicide, and would put in writing that “personhood” begins at fertilization. That definition that would likely raise legal challenges over whether emergency contraception violates the law. On Thursday, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, a pro-life Democrat, said he opposes the bill, and called it “unconstitutional” in a public statement.
A so-called trigger law in Arkansas, which would ban most abortions in the state if Roe is overturned, could have a similar effect on access to emergency contraceptives, the state’s Democratic Party warns.
The legal arguments are complicated by the science of emergency contraception. Copper IUDs and the morning-after pill do not terminate a pregnancy after conception has occurred; instead, morning-after pills temporarily prevent ovulation, thereby stopping an egg from being fertilized, and copper IUDs make sperm less likely to fertilize an egg, according to the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, among other leading medical institutions.

Some lawmakers who have expressed support for restrictions on contraception have faced backlash. In Idaho, State Senator Brent Crane, who is also the chairman of the House State Affairs Committee, told Idaho Reports that he’d be open to hearings on the banning of abortion pills delivered by mail, IUDs, and Plan B. “Plan B—I probably would hear that legislation,” he said on May 6. “IUDs, I’m not for certain yet on where I would be on that particular issue.” The following week, Crane clarified that he supports contraceptives like IUDs, but would hold hearings on pills that induce abortion.
On May 8, Mississippi’s Governor Tate Reeves, a Republican, dodged questions from CNN’s Jake Tapper and MSNBC’s Chuck Todd over whether he’d consider bill banning contraceptives, and told Tapper that the state isn’t currently focused on it.
Some Republicans have also publicly criticized Griswold v. Connecticut, a landmark 1965 Supreme Court decision that established that the right to privacy afforded married couples access to contraceptives.
In Arizona, Blake Masters, a Republican running for Arizona Senate, reportedly pledged on his website to only vote for judges “who understand that Roe and Griswold and Casey were wrongly decided, and that there is no constitutional right to abortion,” according to the Arizona Mirror.
The statement no longer exists on Master’s campaign website, and he has since threatened to sue the Mirror because the story “wildly misrepresents my views,” he wrote on Twitter. “I am pro-life. And of course I don’t think contraceptives should be outlawed,” he said, adding, “In Griswold, the justices wholesale *made up a constitutional right* to achieve a political outcome. I am opposed to judges making law. It’s the job of the legislative branch to create laws, not the courts.”
This questioning of the Griswold case has come up before in recent weeks. Before the confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee released a video statement in which she called the Supreme Court’s decision in Griswold “constitutionally unsound.”
The question of when life begins
The idea at the center of debates about emergency contraception is so-called “fetal personhood,” a phrase embraced by the anti-abortion movement that defines a fetus as a person with constitutional rights. The idea of fetal personhood has come up repeatedly in high profile lawsuits, including Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, in which the Supreme Court ruled in 2014 that Hobby Lobby and other employers did not have to provide insurance coverage for birth control on religious grounds.
Arguments also circle the controversial question of whether the Constitution implicitly affords Americans a right to privacy that first emerged in the 1920s. In 1973, when the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Roe, it determined that women have a right to seek abortions under an interpretation of the 14th amendment establishing a constitutional right to privacy. Conservatives, including Justices Alito, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas, have long objected to that interpretation, says H.W. Perry, professor of constitutional law and political science at the University of Texas at Austin. “The debate has become, should the court defend rights of privacy that are not specifically mentioned in the constitution?” Perry says.

Other Supreme Court decisions, including Griswold, Loving v Virginia, which struck down a ban on interracial marriage in 1967, and Obergefell v Hodges, which legalized same sex marriage in 2015, were decided on those same grounds, says Melissa Murray, professor of law at New York University.
The leaked draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, says explicitly that the court’s ruling on Roe is strictly about abortion and should not be interpreted to impact precedent set in other cases. But many legal scholars say such an assertion is about as valuable as the paper it’s written on.
“I think [Justice Alito] knows good and well that that’s disingenuous,” says Murray, whose work has focused on constitutional law and reproductive rights. “But as you can see, [conservatives are] lining up against these other rights.”
Tribe notes that Alito’s reassurance flies in the face of how the judicial system functions. “Courts don’t decide a case and say it’s like a one-way railway ticket good for this trip only,” Tribe says. “They lay down a principle and that principle is then applied in future controversies.”

Chandigarh BJP raps AAP councillors for taking complaints to Punjab CM
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday raised strong objections to AAP councillors’ alleged complaints to Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann against Punjab-cadre officers in the Chandigarh municipal corporation (MC).
AAP councillors had met Mann on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference at BJP’s state office Kamalam in Sector 33, party’s Chandigarh president Arun Sood alleged, “The AAP councillors, along with the party’s Chandigarh in-charge Jarnail Singh and co-in-charge Kulwant Singh, met the Punjab chief minister on Wednesday and complained that the officers on deputation from Punjab do not listen to them and should be taught a lesson.”
Sood claimed that not a single development agenda brought by the AAP had been stopped in the MC House. “But its councillors, instead of development, only do politics of accusations and counter-accusations,” he said.
Claiming that the AAP wanted to control Chandigarh from Punjab, Sood said the Punjab CM had no right to interfere in the affairs of Chandigarh’s administration.
Meanwhile, AAP councillor and leader of opposition Yogesh Dhingra said, “No complaint was made to the Punjab CM against any officer. We had a healthy discussion about coordination issues between MC and the UT administration.” | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/chandigarh-bjp-raps-aap-councillors-for-taking-complaints-to-punjab-cm-101652384833204-amp.html | 2022-05-12T21:18:59Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/chandigarh-bjp-raps-aap-councillors-for-taking-complaints-to-punjab-cm-101652384833204-amp.html | true | 1 |

Pitbull goes on rampage, attacks five people in Mohali’s Phase 10
A pet pitbull dog attacked five people, including a visually impaired man, in SBI Colony, Phase 10 on Wednesday.
The dog bit the visually impaired man, Somnath, 33, in the leg and left four others, including a child, also seriously injured. Somnath was taken to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, Chandigarh, for treatment.
Even as residents alleged that the dog had bitten many people on two previous incidents and also killed a stray dog in a fight, police had not registered a case against the owner until Thursday.
Phase 11 station house officer (SHO) Gagandeep Singh said the dog owner promised to abandon the animal away from the residential areas. Meanwhile, residents alleged that the dog owner had made similar assurances in the past as well, but failed to act on them and the police had also not taken any action against him.

US Producer Prices Surge Upward, Signaling More Pain Is Coming for Americans
U.S. producer prices soared 11 percent in April from a year earlier, a hefty gain that indicates high inflation will remain a burden for consumers and businesses in the months ahead.
The Labor Department said Thursday that its producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — climbed 0.5 percent in April from March. That is a slowdown from the previous month, however, when it jumped 1.6 percent.
The report included some signs that price increases are moderating, but at a painfully high level. The year-over-year increase in April fell from the 11.5-percent annual gain in March, the first decline in the yearly data since December 2020. And the monthly gain of 0.5 percent was the smallest in seven months.
Yet prices are still rising at a historically rapid clip. Food costs rose 1.5 percent just in April from March, while shipping and warehousing prices leapt 3.6 percent. New car prices rose 0.8 percent.
The producer price data captures inflation at an earlier stage of production and can sometimes signal where consumer prices are headed. It also feeds into the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index.
Thursday’s figures came just a day after the government released consumer price data for April, which showed that inflation leapt 8.3 percent last month from a year ago. That increase is down slightly from the four-decade high in March of 8.5 percent. On a monthly basis, inflation rose 0.3 percent in April from March, the smallest increase in eight months.
Still, there were plenty of signs in the consumer price report that inflation will remain stubbornly high, likely for the rest of this year and into 2023. Rents rose faster as many apartment buildings have lifted monthly payments for new tenants. Prices for airline tickets jumped by the most on records dating to 1963. And food prices continued to rise sharply.
The Federal Reserve has stepped up its fight against rampant price increases, lifting its benchmark short-term interest rate by a half-point last week to a range of 0.75 percent and 1 percent. That increase is double its usual quarter-point hike.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell also signaled the Fed will likely hike rates by a half-point in June and July. Several Fed officials have said they would like to get its benchmark rate to roughly 2.5 percent by the end of this year, which would constitute the fastest pace of hikes in 33 years.
The prospect of higher interest rates and the potential that they could push the economy into recession has badly rattled financial markets this month.

‘Suspicious’ death of 13-year-old girl ruled a homicide, police say
BEAVERTON, Ore. (KPTV/Gray News) – The cause of death of a missing 13-year-old girl who was found dead under “suspicious” circumstances has been ruled a homicide by Oregon police.
Investigators began an investigation into sixth-grader Milana Li’s death following the discovery of her body around 3 p.m. Tuesday, KPTV reported. An autopsy performed on Li Wednesday confirmed the death was a homicide.
Officers say dozens of tips have been received from the community and investigators are following up on several leads.
Beaverton Police Department said investigators do not believe there is any continued threat to the community.
“When a 13-year-old is murdered in our community that’s obviously a tragic event that rocks our community and our police department,” Matt Henderson of the Beaverton Police Department said. “And I want our community to know that the full power of the Beaverton Police Department’s investigative staff is working this case. And we’re gonna find who did this to Milana.”
Prior to Li’s body being found, she had been reported missing around 1:10 p.m. Monday, May 9, by her mother. She was last seen alive at her apartment near the intersection of Southwest Murray Boulevard and Southwest Scholls Ferry Road around 4 p.m. Sunday evening
Officers are stressing this is an ongoing criminal investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Cindy Herring at (503) 526-2280.

ESCONDIDO, Calif. (AP) — Over the past three decades Ara Mirzaian has fitted braces for everyone from Paralympians to children with scoliosis. But Msituni was a patient like none other — a newborn giraffe.
The calf was born Feb. 1 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, north of San Diego, with her front limb bending the wrong way. Zoo staff feared she could die if they didn’t immediately correct the condition, which could prevent her from nursing and walking around the habitat.
But they had no experience with fitting a baby giraffe in a brace. That proved especially challenging given she was a 5-foot-10-inch-tall (178-centimeter) newborn and growing taller every day. So, they reached out to experts in orthotics at the Hanger Clinic, where Mirzaian landed his very first animal patient.
“It was pretty surreal when I first heard about it,” Mirzaian told The Associated Press this week during a tour to meet Msituni, who was strutting alongside the other giraffes with no troubles. “Of course, all I did was go online and study giraffes for like 24/7 until we got out here.”
Zoos increasingly are turning to medical professionals who treat people to find solutions for ailing animals. The collaboration has been especially helpful in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. Earlier this year, ZooTampa in Florida teamed up with similar experts to successfully replace the beak of a cancer-stricken great hornbill bird with a 3D-printed prosthetic.
The Hanger team in California had fit orthotics for a cyclist and kayaker who both went on to win medals at the 2016 Paralympics in Brazil and customized a brace for a marathoner with multiple sclerosis who raced in seven continents.
And in 2006, a Hanger team in Florida created a prosthetic for a bottlenose dolphin that had lost its tail after becoming tangled in ropes from a crab trap. Their story inspired the 2011 movie “Dolphin Tale.”
But this was a definite learning curve for all, including Matt Kinney, a senior veterinarian for the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in charge of Msituni’s case.
“We commonly put on casts and bandages and stuff. But something that extensive, like this brace that she was provided, that’s something we really had to turn to our human (medicine) colleagues for,” Kinney said.
Msituni suffered from hyperextended carpi — wrist joint bones in giraffes' front limbs, which are more like arms. As she overcompensated, the second front limb started to hyperextend as well. Her back leg joints also were weak but were able to be corrected with specialized hoof extenders.
And given that she weighed more than 100 pounds (55 kilos) at birth, the abnormality was already taking its toll on her joints and bones.
While the custom braces were being built, Kinney first bought post-surgery knee braces at Target that he cut up and re-sewed, but they kept slipping off. Then Msituni wore medical grade braces for humans that were modified for her long legs. But eventually Msituni broke one.
For the custom braces to work, they would need to have a range of motion but be durable, so Hanger worked with a company that makes horse braces.
Using cast moldings of the giraffe’s legs, it took eight days to make the carbon graphite braces that featured the animal’s distinct pattern of crooked spots to match her fur.
“We put on the giraffe pattern just to make it fun,” Mirzaian said. “We do this with kids all the time. They get to pick super-heroes, or their favorite team and we imprint it on their bracing. So why not do it with a giraffe?”
In the end, Msituni only needed one brace. The other leg corrected itself with the medical grade brace.
When they put her under to fit the custom brace, Mirzaian was so moved by the animal’s beauty, he gave her a hug.
“It was just amazing seeing such a big, beautiful creature just laying there in front of me,” he said.
After 10 days in the custom brace, the problem was corrected.
All told, she was in braces for 39 days from the day she was born. She stayed in the animal hospital the entire time. After that, she was slowly introduced to her mom and others in the herd. Her mom never took her back, but another female giraffe has adopted her, so to speak, and she now runs along like the other giraffes.
Mirzaian hopes to hang up a picture of the baby giraffe in her patterned brace so the kids he treats will be inspired to wear theirs.
“It was the coolest thing to see an animal like that walk in a brace,” he said. “It feels good to know we saved a giraffe’s life.” | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Bracing-for-her-future-Human-medicine-rescues-17169092.php | 2022-05-12T21:42:33Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Bracing-for-her-future-Human-medicine-rescues-17169092.php | false | 100 |

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks want to build off the momentum from a thrilling comeback and the Golden State Warriors seek to put an embarrassing loss behind them as both teams attempt to clinch their second-round series.
Both own 3-2 lead in their respective series and are at home Friday for Game 6. The defending NBA champion Bucks rallied from a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit to win 110-107 at Boston on Wednesday night while the Warriors squandered an opportunity to close out their series by losing 134-95 at Memphis.
“At the end of the day, we can’t get too high from this,” Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo said after the Buck’ Game 5 victory. “Obviously, it’s great to win the game, great to go back home and feel good ourselves, but the job is not done.”
Although Milwaukee is savoring an emotional win and Golden State is coming off a blowout loss, the trends of these series indicate the Warriors should feel more comfortable going home.
The home-court advantage hasn’t meant much in the Bucks-Celtics series. The road team has won three of the five games, including each of the last two.
Through the first five games of the other three second-round series, home teams owned a 14-1 record. The Warriors are 2-0 at home against the Grizzlies after winning 142-112 in Game 3 and 101-98 in Game 4.
History suggests the lopsided nature of Golden State’s Game 5 loss shouldn’t have a carryover effect. The Warriors are the sixth team in the past 10 years to lose by at least 39 points in a playoff game that didn’t end a series. Four of the previous five losing teams won their next game.
“Well, it doesn’t feel good losing by as much as we did,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. “At the end of the day it is just a loss and you flush it from your mental and you remind yourselves who you are. You go in and play with 100% effort on Friday, and I like our chances.”
The Grizzlies also have reason to feel confident, even with Ja Morant likely out for the rest of the postseason with a bone bruise in his right knee. The Grizzlies have gone 1-1 against the Warriors since Morant’s injury and are 21-6 in games their All-Star guard has missed this season.
“We know how to respond,” Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks said. “We know how to play with each other better than any team in the NBA.”
In the Celtics-Bucks series, the teams have alternated victories through the first five games. The Celtics’ season depends on that pattern continuing Friday.
The series has been full of comebacks already. The Celtics want to close it out by rallying from a 3-2 deficit and winning a potential Game 7 in Boston on Sunday.
“We had a golden opportunity,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said after the Game 5 loss. “That’s the story here. It’s going to be tougher now. Got to go get two in a row. But what we’ve done throughout this series and throughout this season is bounce back when we’ve been tested.”
CELTICS AT BUCKS
Bucks lead 3-2. Game 6, 7:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN
— NEED TO KNOW: The Bucks took the series lead with a Game 5 comeback as Bobby Portis scored the go-ahead basket on a putback of a missed Antetokounmpo free throw with 15 seconds left. Jrue Holiday sealed the victory by getting a block and a steal in the last 10 seconds. Antetokounmpo had 40 points. The team that has led entering the fourth quarter has lost the last three games of this series.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: Rebounding. Over the past two games, the Bucks have outrebounded the Celtics 97-74 and own a 32-18 advantage in second-chance points.
— INJURY WATCH: Bucks F Khris Middleton has missed eight straight playoff games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Celtics F/C Robert Williams III has missed two straight games with a sore left knee.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Celtics F Jayson Tatum. The three-time All-Star has been productive, scoring 34 points in Game 5 and 30 in Game 4. But he's just 5 of 27 from 3-point range over his last three games after going 9 of 19 from beyond the arc in the first two games of this series. Tatum will need to regain his 3-point accuracy for the Celtics to win this series.
GRIZZLIES AT WARRIORS
Warriors lead 3-2. Game 6, 10 p.m. EDT, ESPN.
— NEED TO KNOW: Golden State committed 22 turnovers that led to 29 Grizzlies points in Memphis’ Game 5 blowout victory. Every starter for the Warriors had a negative plus-minus rating. Thompson’s minus-45 rating tied the worst plus-minus in any playoff game over the past 25 years with Andre Drummond’s minus-45 against Milwaukee in 2019.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: Memphis used its size advantage with 6-foot-11 Steven Adams leading the way to outrebound the Warriors for the first time in this series with a 55-37 edge on the boards. The Grizzlies had an 18-4 difference on the offensive boards, leading to a 24-5 scoring advantage in second-chance points.
— INJURY WATCH: Golden State’s Otto Porter Jr. dealt with right foot soreness that kept him out the second half of Game 5. His status is uncertain. ... Warriors coach Steve Kerr could be recovered from his two-game absence with COVID-19 in time for Game 6, though that hadn’t yet been determined. He needs two negative tests first. ... Morant has missed two games and remains doubtful to return this postseason.
— PRESSURE IS ON: The Warriors. Memphis is the youngest team to reach this round in 25 years, so forcing this series to a sixth game already is a big accomplishment with Morant injured. Each team has had a blowout win with each of the other three games decided by five points or less. But over the last two games without Morant, Memphis has led for all but the final 45.7 seconds of Game 5.

Florida woman tells deputy that getting arrested was on her 'bucket list'
KEY LARGO, Fla. - A 19-year-old South Florida woman who fled from law enforcement in the Florida Keys told the deputy who caught up to her that getting arrested was on her "bucket list."
Janiya Shaimiracle Douglas, from Homestead, was charged with fleeing and eluding, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.
The deputy spotted the woman's Toyota sedan "speeding and driving recklessly" just before 8 a.m. Thursday morning on Card Sound Road in Key Largo. He turned on his lights and siren but said the driver did not immediately stop.

Douglas eventually pulled over miles later, at the intersection of Card Sound Road and Overseas Highway.
Before she was taken to jail, the woman told the deputy that getting arrested had been on her bucket list since high school.

Spain to see crazy weekend weather with thunderstorms hail and calima Credit: Creative Commons
This weekend in Spain, will reportedly see see crazy weather, with thunderstorms that could be accompanied by hail in the Castilian-Leonese plateau, the Pyrenees, Aragon and the Iberian Cordillera; and with less probability, in the Central System, Community of Madrid and Castilla La Mancha, according to Meteored.
Friday, May, 13, will be marked by cloudy skies in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, although abundant low clouds are expected in the north of Galicia and the Cantabrian area. Morning fog will cover the upper Ebro basin and the cloudiness will create the possibility of thundery showers in the interior of the Peninsula in the afternoon.
In the Canary Islands there will be an abundance of clouds, without ruling out the possibility of a few weak and isolated showers on La Palma. Calima, the Saharan desert dust, is also expected in Ceuta, Melilla and the Balearic Islands, and it is not ruled out that it will extend to a large part of the southern half of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) forecasts a further rise in maximum temperatures in most areas of Spain, especially in Mallorca, in the interior of the eastern Mediterranean area of the Peninsula, the interior of western Andalusia and the north of Galicia. Thus, it is expected to reach 34ºC in the Guadalquivir valley.
Saturday, May, 14, is expected to see thunderstorms and hail with overcast skies in much of the Peninsula and the Canary Islands.
Hail and showers accompanied by thunderstorms are expected in Spain during the afternoon, specifically in the Castilian-Leonese plateau, the Pyrenees, Aragon and the Iberian Cordillera. Hail could also fall over the Central System, the Community of Madrid and Castilla La Mancha, although, this is less likely.
Fog banks will continue to form in the morning in Galicia and on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea. The same will happen with the haze, which will turn orange in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla.
Maximum temperatures will be around 35º in Cordoba, Seville, Lleida and Zaragoza. The situation will be very different on the Mediterranean coasts, where it will barely reach 25º.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, fresh off winning Senate confirmation for a second term earlier in the day, acknowledged for the first time Thursday that high inflation and economic weakness overseas could thwart his efforts to avoid causing a recession.
For weeks, Powell has portrayed the Fed's drive to raise interest rates as consistent with a so-called “soft landing” for the economy. Under that scenario, the Fed would manage to tighten borrowing costs enough to cool the economy and curb inflation without going so far as to tip the economy into recession.
But in an interview on NPR's “Marketplace,” Powell conceded that that balancing act — which many economists have said they doubt the Fed can achieve — could be undercut by economic slowdowns in Europe and China.
“The question whether we can execute a soft landing or not — it may actually depend on factors that we don’t control,” the Fed chair said. “There are huge events, geopolitical events going on around the world, that are going to play a very important role in the economy in the next year or so.”
Such comments reflect less confidence in avoiding a recession than Powell has previously conveyed. Just last week, he said at a news conference: “I think we have a good chance to have a soft or softish landing or outcome.” | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Powell-Soft-economic-landing-may-be-out-of-17169204.php | 2022-05-12T22:00:38Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Powell-Soft-economic-landing-may-be-out-of-17169204.php | true | 12 |

WAKEFIELD — The new high school envisioned for Wakefield will cost nearly $220 million, of which the town will be responsible for about $163 million. The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) will pay the remaining $57 million. The MSBA is expected to pick up about 50 percent of eligible costs, but the town is looking to build a school that significantly exceeds MSBA guidelines for spaces, so the town’s share of the total cost will be closer to 75 percent.
The planned project will add about $1,058 a year to the average single-family home tax bill or an average tax cost of about $88 per month per household over the term of the 30-year bond.
The School Committee this week received an update as the designers prepare to provide a status report to the MSBA in the coming weeks.
A new high school is expected to address deficiencies in the current building, including undersized classrooms, poor common areas, accessibility issues and inadequate science facilities. These and other deficiencies have reportedly impacted the high school’s New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation.
The design plan features a central hub area that connects four academic clusters: Humanities, STEM, Fine and Performing Arts, and Health, Wellness and Athletics along with outdoor learning areas.
Architects Brian Black and Helen Fantini from design firm SMMA presented floor plans for the three levels of the proposed new school, which will be constructed on the current site of the Shaun F. Beasley Track & Field. The track and field facility will be reconstructed on the site of the current high school.
Black used a 3D animation to show the layout of the building and the fields on the site from different angles. He said that the new building will encompass 260,000 square feet, which is 10,000 square feet more than the current high school.
He also showed renderings of some of the indoor spaces and how various elements of the building are linked.
Black displayed a slide outlining the “sustainability and resilience” goals requested by the community.
He reviewed the areas of the proposed building design that exceed the MSBA guidelines in terms of size. Those include nearly every area of the building, including academics, administration and athletics. The only listed areas that do not exceed the MSBA guidelines are the custodial and health offices.
The amount of variation in the design from the MSBA guidelines will impact the percentage of the total cost that the MSBA will reimburse the town.
In June, the MSBA is expected to give the go-ahead to proceed from the preliminary design to the more detailed schematic design. | https://localheadlinenews.com/wakefield-daily-item-new-wakefield-memorial-high-school-cost-220m/ | 2022-05-12T22:00:54Z | https://localheadlinenews.com/wakefield-daily-item-new-wakefield-memorial-high-school-cost-220m/ | true | 1 |

National Nurses Week: Finding Family
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -As National Nurses Week continues, one western Wisconsin nurse says COVID changed the way she views her career.
Mindy DeMars has been working as a caregiver since she was 18. After having a child at 26, she began studying at CVTC to become a nurse. After graduating, DeMars started working at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire where she still works 15 years later.
During the pandemic she says the hospital became her home away from home.
“Is it stressful as the last couple of years been a little bit more stressful with COVID and the changes and the fear, of course. But, you know, that also brought us closer together. They’re more than just my coworkers, we’re like a work family. We take care of each other. You know, if someone’s not feeling good, we’ll cover for them. And, you know, they’re more of my family,” DeMars said.
DeMars says working in nursing has let her make deep connections with both patients and coworkers, which she says helps make an otherwise stressful job worth.

PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — A federal law that says one state must honor another state’s child-custody order doesn’t apply to American Indian tribes, according to a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge Roberto Lange of South Dakota issued the ruling this week in a case involving two North Dakota fathers of children whose mother has taken them to the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota. She is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
Judge Lange said the 1980 law, known as the Parental Kidnapping Protection Act, applies to states and territories and he found that an Indian tribe isn’t either one.
The decision is subject to appeal.
“When reviewing the PKPA alongside of other contemporary full faith and credit statutes,
it appears that Congress views a ‘territory or possession of the United States’ as distinct from an
Indian tribe. While it might have better served Congress’s purposes to extend the PKPA to tribes.
Congress did not write a definition of ‘state’ in the PKPA broadly enough to apply to Indian
Tribes,” Lange wrote in the May 11, 2022, decision.
He continued, “This court recognizes that this interpretation of the PKPA does not prevent ‘jurisdictional
competition and conflict between [sjtate’ and tribal courts over child custody orders. This court likewise is heartsick that the ambiguity and split of authority over interpretation of the PKPA has contributed to the prolonged litigation in various courts over custody of C.S.N. and T.R.S. Nonetheless, this court is bound to interpret and apply the PKPA as it is written, not as how it might or arguably should have been written. Congress can amend the PKPA if it wishes to extend it to Indian tribes.” | https://www.keloland.com/news/capitol-news-bureau/parent-kidnapping-law-doesnt-apply-to-tribes/ | 2022-05-12T22:08:20Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/capitol-news-bureau/parent-kidnapping-law-doesnt-apply-to-tribes/ | false | 1 |
Events DC satisfies high standards of health, safety and well-being for the Convention Center, Entertainment & Sports Arena, and DC Armory
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Events DC, the official convention and sports authority for the District of Columbia, announced today it has earned the WELL Health-Safety Rating for its three primary venues including Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Entertainment & Sports Arena, and the DC Armory through the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating for all new and existing building and space types focusing on operational policies, maintenance protocols, stakeholder engagement and emergency plans to address a post-COVID-19 environment now and into the future.
Designed to empower owners and operators across large and small businesses alike to take the necessary steps to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders, the WELL Health-Safety Rating can help guide users in preparing their spaces for re-entry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, instilling confidence in those who come through the building as well as the broader community.
"We strive to lead the industry with our health and safety standards, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic," said Samuel Thomas, interim president and chief executive officer of Events DC. "Our convention center is the first in the world to achieve this designation, and we are honored that the Entertainment & Sports Arena and DC Armory also achieved this important recognition. This confirms that our commitment to health and safety extends beyond the pandemic."
To achieve WELL Health-Safety Rating, Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Entertainment & Sports Arena, and DC Armory implemented features including enhanced cleaning and sanitization procedures, emergency preparedness programs to include a plan for healthy re-entry, and a complete range of health service resources reviewed by the institute. The awarded venues, which are owned and operated by Events DC, achieved 15 points in the evaluation of its deployed health and safety protocols, signaling another step as a proven industry leader and disruptor in creating clean and sanitized meeting spaces.
The WELL Health-Safety Rating provides a centralized source and governing body to validate efforts made by owners and operators. It leverages insights drawn from the IWBI Task Force on COVID-19, in addition to guidance on the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), global disease control and prevention centers and emergency management agencies, as well as recognized standard-making associations such as ASTM International and ASHRAE, and leading academic and research institutions, as well as core principles already established by IWBI's WELL Building Standard, the premier framework for advancing health in buildings and spaces of all kinds.
The Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Entertainment & Sports Arena, and DC Armory were each awarded the WELL Health-Safety Rating following the successful completion of third-party documentation review by GBCI to confirm it has met the feature specific intents and requirements.

Crypto exchange FTX CEO reveals stake in trading app Robinhood
May 12 (Reuters) - Samuel Bankman-Fried, the chief executive and founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, revealed a 7.6% stake in Robinhood Markets Inc on Thursday, capitalizing on the weakness of the shares of the trading app to build a position.
Bankman-Fried said in a regulatory filing he did not have any intention of taking control of Robinhood. The company's dual-class shares currently give Robinhood's founders control of 64% of the voting shares outstanding.
A person familiar with the matter said that Bankman-Fried had not informed Robinhood of any plans to merge it with his FTX platform.
Bankman-Fried said in the filing that it was possible that his position may change and he could end up pushing for changes. He disclosed he started building his stake in Robinhood in the middle of March.

As Thursday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
Finland announced that it wants to join NATO. Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted the country, which shares an 830-mile border with Russia, to shift from its long history of neutrality and military nonalignment. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called Finland's entry into NATO a threat to Russia. In a recent poll, nearly three-quarters of Finns supported joining the military alliance. Finland is already a member of the European Union and has been a NATO partner since 1994.
Siemens is leaving Russia after nearly 170 years. The German industrial giant put all new business and international deliveries in Russia and Belarus on hold at the start of the war. Now it says it will exit the Russian market entirely, calling the decision a direct consequence of Russia's war in Ukraine. Siemens employs some 3,000 people in Russia, according to Reuters. Most of its business there involves service work on high-speed trains.
The Russian-installed government in the Ukrainian port city of Kherson will ask Russian President Vladimir Putin to annex the area, according to Russian state media. It's the latest evidence that Russia wants to claim more territory in Ukraine. In response, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser in the Ukrainian president's office, vowed: "The Ukrainian army will liberate Kherson."
The U.N. Human Rights Council voted in a special session to investigate possible rights abuses in northern Ukraine. China and Eritrea voted against the resolution. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet referred to "egregious human rights violations that have occurred" in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions. The U.N. suspended Russia from its top human rights body last month.

After the experiences with other platforms, Nintendo has outlined a plan to move to the next console.
Nintendo Switch continues to press the accelerator to the fullest. The latest data from Nintendo reiterates the success of its console with an unstoppable rate of sales and great popularity in its selection of games. However, and as usual in this class of documents, the Big N has also presented its plans and concerns looking to the future. In other words, some of the details related to what he prepares beyond the hybrid.
There is no successor for Nintendo Switch, but the company is preparing for the next generationSpeaking clear, no successor announced yet for Nintendo Switch. Despite this, Nintendo has gone through enough experiences to know that changing hardware requires huge planning. he said so Shuntaro Furukawapresident of Nintendo, in a round of questions and answers with his investors (translated by VGC).
One of our biggest hurdles is how to smoothly transition from one hardware to the next.Shuntaro Furukawa“We’ve already announced a portion of our software roadmap with release planned for next spring,” Furukawa begins. “Unlike in the past, we still have a wide variety of scheduled games to be released, even beyond 5 years of release. This is because the Nintendo Switch has had a soft launchwhich has allowed us to focus all of our development resources on a single platform.”
“However, the question of whether we will have the same smooth transition from Nintendo Switch to the next generation of hardware is a great concern for us,” continues the president. “Based on our experiences with Wii, Nintendo DS and other hardware, it’s very clear that one of our biggest obstacles is how to have an easy transition from one hardware to the next.
Although Nintendo admits to having this “concern”, it also explains that the batteries have already been set to face the future of the current console: “To help alleviate this risk, we are focusing on build long-term relationships with our clients. As we continue to release new software for Nintendo Switch, we will also offer services that use Nintendo Accounts and other IP outside of gaming software. We intend this to help build a lasting impact with our clients.”
Nintendo has already expressed on multiple occasions that it still has many plans with Nintendo Switch, which still has a long life ahead. We can take advantage of this with a multitude of experiences that range from the AAA of the Big N and even the indies that the console houses, which is complemented by a Nintendo Indie World with several games to consider. In addition, from 3DJuegos we have already shared 13 tips to keep your Nintendo Switch in perfect condition, which will provide more fun and less frustration in the future.

Pickup truck crashes into teen’s bedroom, misses him by inches
By Elijah Westbrook
Click here for updates on this story
WESTBURY, New York (WCBS) — A teenager and his family are thankful to be alive after a pickup truck plowed into their Long Island home in the middle of the night.
The truck slammed into the house in Westbury at around 1 a.m. Thursday and ended up in the backyard after crashing into the 13-year-old’s bedroom.
“Confused and worried. I have school, but I can’t go,” Jayden Tirnh told CBS2’s Elijah Westbrook.
Despite the damage, Nassau County Police said no one was hurt. The truck missed Jayden by just inches.
“I was asleep and then I woke up on my own. Nobody woke me up, and the wall is broken. Everybody was like walking around, talking and I was really confused. I got up … I saw the guy who hit our house and he was like, ‘Sorry, I don’t know you guys,’ and then he left,” Jayden said.
“I was scared. I was holding him, I was crying,” Jayden’s mother Thu Than said. “I feel all his entire body, see if everything is OK. Because the whole closet was collapsed on the bed.”
Based on the tire tracks left at the scene, it appears the truck driver made their way from Carmen Avenue then slammed into the home before stopping in the backyard.
“One feet closer and my son was gone,” Than said. “I feel a lot better now. I see everything. My son, nothing wrong with him.”
Police said the driver, identified as 42-year-old Blas Flores-Velasquez, fled the scene and was arrested hours after the crash. Florez-Velasquez was found hiding in a wooded area near the Wantagh Parkway, police said. He was charged with DWI, among others.
The home is now unlivable according to Nassau County’s code enforcement bureau.
The family said they’ll stay with another family nearby. But that’s the least of their worries – they’re just thankful to be OK.
“It could’ve been a lot worse,” Jayden said. “Glad I didn’t die last night.”

Pacific Climate Warrior Wins 2022 Global Citizen Award
Brianna Fruean, a Samoan Pacific Climate Warrior and environmental champion has been announced as a recipient of the Global Citizen Prize: Citizen Award, citing her work leading grassroots community projects for climate justice, and her commitment to bring small island representation and young Pacific voices to the forefront of global climate conversations.
The Global Citizen Prize recognizes activists across the world whose efforts focus on ending extreme poverty and achieving the United Nations’ Global Goals. It aims to identify changemakers in local communities who have been championing and uplifting the most vulnerable people.
Brianna has been a climate champion in the Pacific since the age of 11, when she became a founding member of 350.org Samoa, and 350.org’s youngest ever country coordinator. Through her work as the youth representative on the Pacific Climate Warriors Council of Elders, Brianna has consistently fought for the future of vulnerable Pacific island states in the face of the climate crisis. At 16, she also became the youngest winner of the Commonwealth Youth Award.
Last November, Brianna addressed world leaders at the UN Climate talks in Glasgow COP26. Taking the Youth4Pacific Declaration to COP26, she told world leaders to “remember that your meeting rooms and drafting documents are not just black and white objects; to remember that, in your words, you wield the weapons that can save us or sell us out for profit and power”. Brianna’s work demonstrates the power of youth and grassroots movements in ending the age of fossil fuels and inspiring bold climate action.
Joseph Sikulu, 350.org Pacific Managing Director says,
“Pacific Climate Warriors the world over will be rejoicing in this news. We know there’s no one more deserving of this recognition and celebration. We are so proud to be a part of the journey of this incredible human, who constantly shows us that eldership isn’t tied to age but instead to the wisdom, story and vision you carry.
We take this moment to celebrate Brianna Fruean, Pacific Climate Warriors Council of Elders representative, founding member of 350 Samoa, storyteller, dancer, activist, leader and the title we are most proud to call her, our family.”
Inangaro Vakaafi, Pacific Climate Warriors Council Elder, says
“Brianna is a shining example of Pasifika leadership through service. Serving with her on the Pacific Climate Warriors Council of Elders has been an absolute privilege. She brings such a youthful spirit and wisdom beyond her years as she continues to inspire others. Brianna has dedicated much of her life and voice to advocate for the Pacific and, much like our ocean, touches so many people's lives. Congratulations and a well deserved acknowledgement we can all be proud of.”
Namrata Chowdhary, 350.org Chief of Public Engagement says,
“Brianna is an inspiration — an eloquent, authentic voice for her people and her generation. It is wonderful to see her work with the Pacific Climate Warriors being acknowledged via the Global Citizen Award. As 350.org’s youngest ever country coordinator, Brianna brings tremendous power to the hard and courageous work of the Pacific Climate Warriors. Hailing from one of the regions on the frontlines of the climate crisis, the Pacific Climate Warriors have breathed vital energy into the global climate justice movement with their rallying cry, ‘we are not drowning, we are fighting’. Brianna’s fierce leadership, and the Warriors’ unwavering drive in their advocacy for concrete solutions are indispensable as we collectively look to bring about a more just and equitable future.” | https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO2205/S00167/pacific-climate-warrior-wins-2022-global-citizen-award.htm | 2022-05-12T22:18:33Z | https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO2205/S00167/pacific-climate-warrior-wins-2022-global-citizen-award.htm | false | 2 |

The Newport Tree and Open Space Commission will be holding a special workshop in the Program Room of the Newport City Library on Thursday, May 19 from 4:30 pm to 7 p.m. to hear from residents about how to improve the use and enjoyment of the City’s open space network.
The City’s park system comprises over 30 areas defined as parks or open space. These valuable public assets provide free and varied ways for residents and visitors to enjoy the natural environment. The Newport Tree, Park and Open Space Master Plan was adopted in 2017 with public input and provides a framework for managing these features of the natural environment.
Last month, the City Council passed a resolution requesting that the Newport Tree and Open Space Commission “hold a workshop with the public to discuss providing a safe environment for all City parks to eliminate or control unsafe behavior and report back to the Council by the beginning of June.”
The May 19th workshop will focus on ensuring that parks are safe and enjoyable sites for all.
Trees, parks, open spaces, view corridors, and broad vistas make a powerful contribution to the quality of life for Newport residents, and the appeal of Newport to its visitors.
As always all are welcome to attend and to share their ideas and concerns.

Love and Thunder
Thor 4 leak reveals a shocking connection to Doctor Strange 2
If you liked Multiverse of Madness, you’re in luck.
Now that Doctor Strange has safely exited the multiverse (for now), the next big Marvel movie is set to bring back everyone’s favorite space god. Thor: Love and Thunder arrives this July, and details about the Taiki Waititi-directed sequel are starting to trickle in. Now, the latest Thor 4 leak reveals some crucial information about the movie’s big bad: Gorr the God Butcher.
Warning! Light spoilers ahead for Thor 4.
Thor 4 and Gorr
Despite releasing an official Love and Thunder trailer, Marvel hasn’t offered up any looks at the God Butcher (played by Christian Bale) so far. Instead, we’ve seen a series of leaked toys and concept art which all seem to suggest that Gorr looks... a little lame.
Everything so far suggests we’re basically getting Bale dressed in a flowing white robe with all-white makeup and a big sword. If you’ve looked at the comics, you’ll know this is a step down from the tentacled alien fans know and love.
However, a new report from a pair of Marvel leakers claims to put those fears to rest. According to scoopsters John Campea, Robert Meyer Burnett, and Erin Cummings, they’ve seen Gorr in the movie and he’s downright terrifying.
Here’s the relevant bit of the conversation from their YouTube podcast (via The Direct):
Robert Meyer Burnett: “And you and I have seen pictures [of Gorr].”
John Campea: “Oh yeah, we got footage of Gorr! We have it and we are not sharing with people because I got in trouble for that before. And oh my god, when you guys see Christian Bale as Gorr, oh my god... because what we saw was straight up freaky, it is a thing right out of nightmares.”
Erin Cummings: “Yes, I saw the photo, I've had nightmares like every night ever since. It is absolutely terrifying.”
That’s great to hear, though it may also raise concerns for a certain subset of Marvel fans who weren’t too pleased with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness...
Is Thor 4 a scary movie?
This is probably a dumb question given Taika Waititi’s talent for comedy — after all, this is the guy who made the funniest vampire movie ever. Still, if Campea and co. are telling the truth, then it sounds like Gorr will be a pretty scary villain. Anyone who thought Doctor Strange 2 was “too scary” or should have been rated R may want to consider skipping Thor 4. (And yes, believe it or not, this is a thing that some people actually believe.)
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. In all likelihood, Thor 4 will be about as far from a horror movie as you can get. Still, the idea that Marvel could be introducing a scary new villain is pretty exciting — especially considering some of the less-then-encouraging leaks we’ve seen so far.

Knights struggle to solve power-play puzzle
The Golden Knights did find a formula for success on the power play by the end.
Adding center Chandler Stephenson to the first unit April 14 provided a boost once the group got comfortable with each other. He got open for high tips from the bumper spot, and proved adept at picking out rebounds in front of the net.
The Knights finished with four power-play goals their final five games. Stephenson scored three.
It was an impressive last gasp. It still didn’t hide the fact the unit provided frustration far more often than scoring throughout the season.
The Knights’ power play, late flurry aside, had another disappointing year and couldn’t produce consistently. It remains a major question mark on the Knights’ path back to Stanley Cup contention.
“I think we have the right personnel to create a good power play,” left wing Max Pacioretty said. “I thought that a guy like (Stephenson) brought our power play to a new level there at the end, and that’s what makes it stings a little bit more is we felt we could have done some damage in the playoffs on the power play, which is an area that was talked about so much last year.”
The Knights’ power play was a major area of concern in the 2021 postseason.
They were 4-for-43 in the playoffs overall and 0-for-15 in their semifinal loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Then, after having an offseason to evaluate things, the Knights started 0-for-19 their first 10 games.
They finished 25th on the power play (18.4 percent), worse than every playoff team except Los Angeles. They got a power-play goal in 30 of their 82 games. That’s despite having seven forwards on the roster that count at least $5 million against the cap and two capable quarterbacks in defensemen Shea Theodore and Alex Pietrangelo.
One issue for the Knights was their top power-play personnel wasn’t often available to them. Three members of their first unit at the end of the year — Pacioretty (39 games), captain Mark Stone (37) and center Jack Eichel (34) — played less than half the season. Units often had to be shuffled, making chemistry harder to come by.
“When you look at top power plays around the league, they’ve been together for three, four, five years,” Theodore said. “I think a lot of that’s consistency and hopefully we can get that.”
The Knights also struggled to create power plays. They finished last in the NHL in penalties drawn with 262. Nashville drew the most at 366. Stone pointed to the offensive zone and said the team didn’t put opponents in difficult situations often enough to force them to take penalties. The Knights had two or fewer power-play opportunities in half their games.
“It impacts your rhythm,” general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. “All of a sudden you’ve gone five games and you haven’t had a power-play goal, which is a real cloud over your team, and you might only have eight opportunities.”
The struggles led to a yearlong search for answers. Assistant coach Steve Spott, who was with coach Pete DeBoer when San Jose’s power play ranked seventh during his tenure from 2015-19, ran the unit to start the season. Assistant coach Ryan Craig, who had the Knights ranked 16th in parts of three seasons before DeBoer was hired, took over in March 6.
The switch did provide a boost. The Knights’ power play scored on 20 percent of its chances under Craig, compared to 17.6 percent with Spott. Nineteen teams had a mark better than 20 percent this season, however.
“We’re going to look at everything,” DeBoer said. “We’ll keep working at this until we get it right and I’m confident we will.”

Tottenham hand Arsenal biggest North London derby defeat in 39 years
Tottenham handed Arsenal their biggest league defeat in the rivalry since 1983 with a 3-0 triumph on Thursday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It was the first time the Gunners have ever trailed Spurs by more than two goals in the Premier League era, and the first time they've done so in the top-flight in 39 years.
Tottenham have now won three consecutive home league games against Arsenal for the first time since August 1961.

- The £70m north London derby: How Arsenal could be transformed by Champions League return
- Could Ecuador really be thrown out of the World Cup over 'ghost' Castillo's identity scandal?
- How has Tottenham star Son become a Premier League Golden Boot contender?
How did Tottenham react to the result?
"It's always good to win but especially this derby," said Son Heung-min to Sky Sports. "It means a lot. We can close the gap. This game really, really feels nice."
Son won a first-half penalty and scored Tottenham's third goal.
Harry Kane, meanwhile, netted twice in the victory, which saw Spurs pull within a point of the Gunners for fourth place with two games to play.
"I'm proud of the boys," Kane told Sky Sports. "If [Arsenal] won they would have secured the Champions League so there was pressure on us in front of our home fans but we delivered well. We started on the front foot, created the chances and controlled it in the second half.
"Whenever you win a derby it's always nice. Two more games to go. We need to focus on them now but it was a special night here."
What happened in the match?
Arsenal suffered self-inflicted damage in the first half, conceding a penalty and going down to 10 men.
Spurs were able to coast from there as they dealt the Gunners a historically harsh defeat.
The bigger picture
Arsenal are now just one point ahead of Tottenham for the final Champions League place with two matches to go.
The Gunners will face Newcastle and Everton in their last league games of the campaign, while Spurs will meet Burnley and Norwich City. | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/tottenham-hand-arsenal-biggest-north-london-derby-defeat-in/blte2ad913e306c8275 | 2022-05-12T22:27:11Z | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/tottenham-hand-arsenal-biggest-north-london-derby-defeat-in/blte2ad913e306c8275 | false | 10 |
CIVH merges Vumatel, DFA into one mega fibre company
Community Investment Ventures Holdings (CIVH), the Remgro and New GX-controlled parent company of fibre infrastructure operators Dark Fibre Africa (DFA) and Vumatel, today announced its two fibre network assets will be managed under a new infrastructure company.
This, as competition in the South African fibre market continues to heat up in what has now been termed the “fibre land grab”.
However, CIVH says the infrastructure entity’s name has not yet been announced.
In a statement, the company says this decision is a strategic step to meet ongoing customer and business requirements, and increase open-access offerings across the networks.
Although its two most significant operating subsidiaries (DFA and Vumatel) will be incorporated into this new infrastructure entity, CIVH says each business will initially continue to operate separately.
Dietlof Mare and Byron Billett, current executives of Vumatel, have been appointed chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of the new infrastructure company.
Vumatel pioneered fibre-to-the-home in SA and has since connected thousands of homes across Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to broadband internet. The company, which has a footprint in excess of 600 000 homes, anticipates there are at least a further 700 000 homes in emerging markets.
Andries Delport will continue as chief executive officer of DFA and will be an integral part of the infrastructure company management committee.
DFA is an open-access fibre infrastructure and connectivity provider in South Africa. It finances, builds, installs, manages and maintains a fibre network to transmit metro and long-haul telecommunications traffic.
It started rolling out its fibre network in 2007, and to date, DFA has deployed over 16 000km of ducting infrastructure in major metros, secondary cities and smaller towns.
Today’s announcement follows Vodacom Group in November acquiring a co-controlling equity stake in DFA and Vumatel, in a deal that is set to hasten the telco’s plans to dominate SA’s connectivity market.
At the time, Vodacom said it will hold a co-controlling 30% equity in the new infrastructure company, into which all of the assets owned by DFA and Vumatel will be transferred, in addition to certain Vodacom fibre assets.
Vodacom has an option to acquire an additional 10% stake in the new company to 40%.
However, the deal, which is still subject to regulatory approvals, has been met with resistance from local internet service providers that have since approached the Competition Commission about raising their anti-trust concerns.
“The fibre-to-the-home market is constantly evolving, especially in the open-access environment, and fibre network operators have to be able to evolve at the same pace,” says Raymond Ndlovu, chief executive officer of CIVH.
On his appointment as CEO of CIVH in 2019, Ndlovu told ITWeb that one of his biggest objectives was to exploit the DFA and Vumatel fibre assets, as the firm looks to solidify its position in SA’s telecoms space.
“By establishing our new infrastructure company, we can place both DFA and Vumatel in a position to meet this developing demand for fibre connectivity and continue providing innovative products and solutions to the market. The establishment of this holding company will enable both Vumatel and DFA to expand their open-access network infrastructures to meet customer requirements, with the ultimate goal of connecting more of South Africa to high-capacity fixed-line infrastructure,” Ndlovu says.
“We realise that to continue connecting as many South Africans as possible, we need to ensure our businesses run effectively. This new infrastructure company will allow us to continue bridging the digital divide by enabling DFA and Vumatel to operate their infrastructure assets seamlessly and on an open-access basis, under one aligned strategy,” says Mare. | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/xA9POvNEw8Xqo4J8 | 2022-05-12T22:27:13Z | https://www.itweb.co.za/content/xA9POvNEw8Xqo4J8 | true | 1 |
During an interview with PlayStation boss Jim Ryan back in March, GamesIndustry.biz confirmed that Sony has no intention on releasing AAA first-party games to the revamped PlayStation Plus because it wouldn’t be possible at its current pricing structure.
Jump forward to only a month before this new PlayStation Plus model goes into effect here in the Americas (and days before it hits Asia, excluding Japan) and Sony appears to not have changed its mind. During its recent earnings call (translated by irwebmeeting), CFO Hiroki Totoki took the stage to not so much discuss the competition’s strategy, but rather solidify their stance on releasing AAA first-party games day-one on the tiered service.
“I will refrain from making comments on the competitors’ strategy. Our current thinking is to have development costs/appropriate R&D investment for quality products and that will improve the business in the long run. AAA type titles on PS5, if we distribute that on the subscription service, we may need to shrink the investment needed for that, and that will deteriorate the first-party title quality. So we want to make sure we spend the appropriate development costs to have solid products/titles to be introduced in the right manner.”
While it might be disappointing for some users who believe its new tier model is too high or whatever, there are still some big games coming to the service like Returnal and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
The new PS Plus tier model’s heading to Asia on May 23 for Asia, followed by Japan on June 1, the Ameircas on June 13, and finally Europe on June 22.

I’m an interior designer and here’s 11 clever ways to create more space in your home
WHEN it comes to your living space, it’s always best to try and make the most of every corner around you - especially if you don’t have much room.
The good thing is, we now live in a world of hacks where people are often sharing their tips and tricks into making your house a better place to live.
Here, LifeHacker explains their top hacks to make the most of your space at home.
Shoving your belongings under the bed is what people often end up doing, but this can sometimes be ineffective as your belongings become a dusty mess.
A set of adjustable bed risers will give you some extra inches under there.
The additional height won’t be obvious or noticeable, and it will free up a lot more room to squeeze in more storage.
Instead of piling things on the floor, the next hack is to get things onto a shelf.
And if you think you have filled up all the shelf space, try your doors next.
Most read in Fabulous
Putting a shallow shelf over the casing at the top of your doors gives you instant storage space.
If you choose your shelving to match the casing style, it will be an attractive addition to the decor.
And beds are another great source of storage.
If your bed is pushed up against a wall and has a headboard, this is an opportunity.
Extending the headboard with some matching shelving gives you extra space for anything you want to.
If you’ve got a relatively high headboard and the bed is not flush against the wall, you can also add hooks or hanging storage to the rear of the headboard.
The staircase is the next best place for storage - if you’re a decent carpenter
The risers on your steps can be wasted space and they’re probably hollow.
Tearing them off and inserting drawers is a hack which can create more storage.
Stack up the plates and saucers
Rather than letting the plates take up space in your cupboard, hang them vertically on a wall or on the inside of your cabinet.
Use the toe kick at the bottom of kitchen cabinets
If you have a kitchen with floor cabinets, the space at the bottom where the doors overhang have free space behind the trim.
Just pull it out, add some storage and push it back in.
Get in between things
If there’s a gap between your refrigerator and your cabinets or open wall space between the last floor cabinet and a doorway, add some narrow, portable storage.
While these sorts of units are typically used as pantry space or spice racks, they can be used for just about anything.
Buy a suction-held sponge holder
Or something similar to stick inside your fridge.
Small bottles, condiment packets can go in this way, making shelf space for larger items.
Lay fresh sheets flat under mattress
If you’ve got a bulging chest of draws where your spare sheets and bedding are spilling out, take out the sheets and lay them flat under your mattress.
This will have zero impact on your bed’s comfort, but it will open up some inches of space in your closet, chest, or shelves.
Multiple clothing on one hanger
There are hangers now strong enough to hold a lot more than one shirt on a single hanger.
Built in drawers for underneath your washer and dryer
These are just sturdy platforms with built-in drawers that your washer and dryer units sit on top of.
Adding two roomy drawers which match the size and look of your washer and dryer, is an easy hack to add more storage to your home. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8856086/interior-designer-creates-more-space-in-home/ | 2022-05-12T22:28:22Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8856086/interior-designer-creates-more-space-in-home/ | true | 4 |
For the second year in a row, the Texas Longhorns have a quarterback battle on their hands.
Sophomore quarterback Hudson Card is locked in a battle with Quinn Ewers, who took a long and winding path to end up at Texas after earning one of the highest evaluations of a high school quarterback of all time. Card, no slouch of his own, was the No. 59 player in the country a few cycles ago, meaning Steve Sarkisian has two highly-talented quarterbacks to develop and choose from.
Sarkisian is known as one of the elite quarterback recruiters in college football, having coached six first-round draft picks and two Heisman winners in his time as a quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, and head coach prior to his time at Texas. He now has another opportunity to mold two elite-level talents, needing whichever one he chooses to lead his offense to reach their ceiling quickly for both his sake and the sake of the program overall. Their success, or lack thereof, in 2022 could set the trajectory for the remaining years of the Steve Sarkisian era at Texas.

‘Married at First Sight’ Season 14 Decision Day: Which Couples Are Still Together?
D-Day! The time has come for each couple from Married at First Sight season 14 to decide whether they will continue in their marriage or if they will split.
Fans saw five couples meet at the altar in Boston, Massachusetts, before setting off to Puerto Rico for their honeymoon with their stranger spouses. Each pair had eight weeks to get to know their partner before Decision Day arrived, but for one of the couples, eight week was far too long.
Chris Collette and Alyssa Ellman called it quits after just 12 days of marriage making theirs one of the shortest-lived marriages in MAFS history.
“Alyssa, from the wedding night, has no interest in being married to me,” Chris told Married at First Sight expert Pastor Cal Roberson at the time. “She says that we’re not compatible. She’s used the phrase robbed. This is my Decision Day. I want a divorce.”
As for the rest of this season’s couples, scroll down to find out which couples are still together after Decision Day.
Mark Maher and Lindsey Georgoulis
Lindsey Georgoulis and Mark Maher’s relationship did not come without its hurdles. His apparent addiction to social media, for instance, led to several arguments.
“Sometimes he’s just looking at his phone instead of the path in front of him,” Lindsey said of her husband.
“They both strive for a future and family together,” Dr. Pepper Schwartz said of the couple, “But explosive fights and difficult communication has been their downfall.”
Despite their challenges, the couple decided to give their marriage a chance. “You are genuinely good and kind,” Lindsey said on Decision Day before she pulled a green button from her pocket that read “YES.”
“The future looks so bright from here, I think it’s going to be a good life ahead,” Mark said.
Jasmina Outar and Michael Morency
Though Jasmina Outar and Michael Morency have struggled to get past the “friendzone,” Pastor Cal gave the couple a pep talk before making their decisions.
“I want you to know that the friend [and] romantic person is not exclusive,” the expert said. “Sometimes, people can get stuck in one of those places and say, ‘This is who we are. This is where we are.'”
“It does merge,” he added. “Don’t separate in your mind the difference between ‘Okay, we’re friends and that’s all we can —’ That’s crap.”
Ultimately, the pair decided to remain married. “I feel like I don’t know you enough, so you know, I want to get to know you more and stay married,” Jasmina told her husband. “I always said that I would never leave any type of relationship if I didn’t give 100 percent, and I can’t say that I gave 100 percent if I don’t try after this, so we’ll see how it goes.”
Olajuwon Dickerson and Katina Goode
Olajuwon Dickerson and Katina Goode have some major hurdles to overcome, especially when it comes to his desire for a “traditional wife.”
“I want … someone who enjoys cooking and cleaning,” he said. “How can I be sure that she is going to make me happy every single day?”
Though Olajuwon considers his wife’s cooking to be “inedible,” the pair decided to give their relationship a chance and stay together.
“When I came into this marriage, I asked for a woman who’s more established in life. And those are the reasons why I would say no today,” Olajuwon said. “But I will say this: I love our chemistry. I love who you are as a person. I love to be around you — and your effort is what made me overlook all those things.”
Noi Phommasak and Steve Moy
Despite the fact that Noi Phommasak worries about financial stability given that Steve Moy does not have a job, she decided to stick with her partner.
“They both come from close knit families with a strong desire to have children,” Dr. Viviana Coles said of the pair. “They have the foundation for a long-lasting marriage but only if they can work through their financial issues and both feel secure with trusting each other.”
“I would love to stay married with you,” Noi began. “In a very short amount of time, you have taught me what it means to be vulnerable.”
Steve even got down on one knee and re-proposed to his wife in front of their castmates on Decision Day.
“I wanted to ask you if you’d be my adventure buddy, my sushi partner and my partner in life,” he said while presenting her with a ring pop, before pulling out a diamond ring.

This Unjust System Cannot Survive the Storm
By Michael Bagdes-Canning, Green Party Candidate for PA Lieutenant Governor
I think our justice system is unjust. Worse, even the injustice is applied unjustly. The poor and disenfranchised are unlikely to get a fair shake.
Michael Bagdes-Canning for PA Lieutenant Governor
For Immediate Release
Monday, April 23, 2022

Michael Bagdes-Canning, [email protected]
Moral philosopher John Rawls wrote in his Theory of Justice (1971), "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others."
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit in a courtroom, where injustice was prevalent. I was there to support a friend who had participated in an action around an environmental issue. However, before we got to her case, we sat through several others. In every instance, the people on trial were poor, addicted, black, or a combination. In each case, the defendants were victims of a system that is stacked against them, that treats them as less, that had criminalized poverty. A woman in prison, unable to pay a fine imposed when she was deep in her addiction, a young unemployed man incapable of paying even a small amount required to set up a payment plan. What kind of justice is it to further impoverish the already impoverished, to kick an addict rather than treat them?
Our courts are packed with people accused of crimes of poverty -- crimes that people commit because they are impoverished. I’m in no way praising our injustice system, but I will note that the judge did treat the defendants with some dignity. He also showed some compassion for them. Not enough, but some.
My friend is not impoverished in a way that is easily recognized; she is a woman of perceived privilege. Make no mistake, though, she, like most of us, will not have the privilege of escaping the ravages of catastrophic climate change, her generation and ones that follow will deal with the dire consequences of our criminal neglect of this issue. She is already facing an uncertain future, one far less predictable, and less prosperous, than the one that I grew up in.
She was in court because she had been charged with harassment -- she hung a scary Halloween zombie ghost on the fence of a corporate executive of an ecocidal fossil fuel company. Oh my! The executive of a company, which is harassing present and future generations with the prospect of extinction, felt threatened by a zombie ghost. Shades of Ebenezer Scrooge! The Ghost of Christmas Present: "Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die?"
Harassment is a silly charge. How about measured self-defense?
She, too, was a victim of our injustice system. Because she dared speak out against an eco-criminal, she had to appear in court, take off time from work, and travel to court. She was required to be there by 1:30. If she missed her court date, she would be guilty by default and fined. Not that her trial started at 1:30.
Defendants are expected to be there, but the court will get to you when it gets to you. In my experience, defendants like my friends are often last. I once sat in a courtroom all afternoon only to be told at the end of the day that I was “no papered,” – meaning there was no paperwork – the prosecutor either lost or, more likely, had no intention of arguing my case. Yet, I spent the entire afternoon in a courtroom, assured my case was coming up “soon.”
Around 2:30, my friend was the only defendant left in the courtroom. She was called to the bench and informed that the officer who was to testify against her was not going to make it. In a just system, she would have been innocent by default -- her accuser didn’t even bother to show up. But, no, her trial would be rescheduled. Another missed day of work, another commute to the courthouse, and more time sitting. Again, I have seen this over and over. I once traveled all the way to Harrisburg only to have the police come up missing. Last autumn, I drove over six hours to Wilmington, DE, where I had to book a room -- only to have the trial rescheduled because the police could not make it. These are not accidents!
In our system, we are told that we are presumed to be innocent until convicted. Yet, we are “fined”ťif we choose to fight against injustice. My friend missed work (and pay), she had costs associated with travel, and she gave up precious life energy. Yet, she still awaits her day in court, her chance at justice. And she will be fined, yet again. Even if she is found innocent, our justice system is unjust.
The Green Party seeks a just system, and as the next Lieutenant Governor of PA, I plan to work for the necessary reforms. As Matthew Stover writes in Shatterpoint (2004), "Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm.”

BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) – 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.
