Chicago’s lakefront gets all the attention, and there’s no denying that the skyline and endless water views are pretty spectacular (not to mention the beaches). But the Chicago River has its charms, too. Downtown, it’s a perfect spot to admire the city’s architecture. Further north or south, it’s a quiet, green refuge. Either way, it’s a joy to explore by boat or kayak. And then, afterward, here are some spots along the shoreline to eat and drink and watch the world float by.
For updated information on coronavirus cases, please visit the city of Chicago’s COVID-19 dashboard. Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Friday:
___
PITCHING IN
Cleveland pitching coach Carl Willis will serve as the team’s acting manager when the coronavirus-hampered Guardians start a three-game series against the Twins at Target Field.
The Guardians reported no new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, a day off for them. Their game Wednesday in Chicago against the White Sox was called off because of an outbreak — the first postponement in Major League Baseball this season caused by virus concerns.
Manager Terry Francona has been placed in health and safety protocols along with bench coach DeMarlo Hale, first-base coach Sandy Alomar, third-base coach Mike Sarbaugh, hitting coach Chris Valaika, assistant pitching coach Joe Torres and hitting analyst Justin Toole.
To this point, no players have tested positive with the virus.
Willis pitched for the Twins from 1991-95. The Guardians are expected to bring up some minor league coaches and instructors to fill out the major league staff in the interim.
WINDY CITY RETURN
New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is back in Chicago this weekend. Rizzo played for the Cubs for 10 years before he was traded to New York in July. He helped the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 for the franchise’s first title since 1908.
With the Yankees visiting the White Sox, it’s Rizzo’s first major league action in Chicago since last year’s trade. He was a free agent over the winter, but he finalized a $32 million, two-year contract with New York in March.
“I think once I signed again I was really able to shift to being able to root for the Cubs again and root for everyone there,” Rizzo said before the series opener Thursday night. “I have a lot of friends that still work there. I helped build that culture and a lot of things there, so it’s cool to see the traditions that were built during our whole time there still go on.”
CLASSIC CLAYTON
Clayton Kershaw is looking as sharp as ever heading into his start at Dodger Stadium against the Phillies.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner is 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA, striking out 32 and walking just three in 30 innings. The 34-year-old lefty has permitted more than one run only once in five starts.
Kyle Gibson, 3-1 with a 2.94 ERA, starts for the Phillies.
MAX VS. MARINERS
Max Scherzer faces the Seattle Mariners for the first time in eight years when the New York Mets open a homestand on Friday. The NL East leaders have played 10 series this season, winning nine and splitting the other.
Scherzer is 4-1 with a 2.92 ERA in his first season with the Mets, coming off a 3-2 loss at Philadelphia on Sunday when he allowed nine singles and a home run.
Scherzer is 4-2 against the Mariners, all of those decisions coming when he pitched for the Detroit Tigers. He lost 4-0 in his last start on June 1, 2014, at Seattle when he allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings.
BIT BY BIT
Hard-throwing Jordan Hicks pitches again for the Cardinals as they keep trying to stretch him out as a starter.
The 25-year-old righty is aiming to cement a spot in the St. Louis rotation. A reliever until this year, the oft-injured Hicks is 1-2 with a 3.78 ERA in six games. He’s made four starts, not going more than 4 1/3 innings in any of them.
Hicks is set to face the Giants at Busch Stadium.
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, meanwhile, threw a bullpen session Thursday and could start Sunday against San Francisco. The 40-year-old righty was put on the COVID-19 IL on May 6, two days after he started at Kansas City.

The Opposition Leader has promised $100 million for a battery manufacturing precinct in regional Queensland if Labor were to win the election.
The ‘Australian Made Battery plan’ was announced in Gladstone, Queensland, where Albanese pointed to the funding to bolster Australian car manufacturing and new industries to access critical and rare earth minerals.
The plan includes:
- Partnering with the Queensland Government to create a Battery Manufacturing Precinct in Queensland, backed by a $100 million Commonwealth equity injection.
- Creating a Powering Australia Industry Growth Centre to provide advanced technology and skills development to businesses looking to locally manufacture renewable energy technologies.
- Supporting 10,000 New Energy Apprenticeships, including around 2,000 expected in Queensland.
- Developing a National Battery Strategy to bring government and business efforts together for the long term good of the nation.
“For too long, Australians have wondered why we haven’t manufactured batteries onshore when we have one of the world’s largest deposits of critical minerals and rare earths,” Albanese said.
“Labor will create a Future Made in Australia. Australia should be a renewable energy powerhouse, not just a raw materials supermarket.”
The Labor government will also create a Powering Australia Industry Growth Centre,’ providing skills and training to local battery manufacturers.
“The resources sector has been the backbone of the Australian economy for decades. Developing Australia’s battery manufacturing capability is a step towards the potential for domestic electric vehicle manufacture,” he added. “Australia should be aggressively ambitious when it comes to battery manufacture. Labor is determined to see Australia realise more value of the supply chain. We’ve got the natural resources to become a renewable energy superpower.”
Shannon O’Rourke, Chief Executive Officer of the FBICRC said the announcement was an important step in the development of a domestic battery manufacturing capability.
The proposed funding and associated national battery strategy, reflected the key elements of the FBICRC’s pre-budget submission “Towards 2030 – Australia’s Battery Powered Future” submitted to Government in January.
“Today’s announcement is a welcome acknowledgement of the enormous battery opportunity currently facing Australia,” she said.
“For too long, our nation has been focused on the export of raw critical minerals, missing the opportunity a manufacturing industry can unlock. We are already the global leader in critical mineral exports and these next steps are well within our reach. Australia is blessed with an abundance of critical minerals which should be viewed not just as a mining opportunity, but a manufacturing opportunity. By shifting our mindset to invest with purpose and adopt courageous and visionary policies, we have the potential to unlock a significant economic prize of $7.4bn annually and more than 34,700 jobs by 2030.”
Labor kicked off their election campaign in Perth last week, where Albanese pledged a billion dollars to support Australia’s processing of raw battery materials in WA.
“Labor knows the value of resources jobs, and we are firmly focused on a bigger future for the industry. Thanks to Labor’s $1 billion Value-Adding in Resources Fund, we will capture more value from the resources sector here, and create more Australian jobs,” he said.
“In Australia, we have the people, skills and resources to make batteries right here. We have resources like with them, copper, nickel, all we do is we send those resources offshore.” | https://www.manmonthly.com.au/news/albanese-pledges-fund-battery-manufacturing-plant/ | 2022-05-13T02:19:32Z | https://www.manmonthly.com.au/news/albanese-pledges-fund-battery-manufacturing-plant/ | true | 1 |

Louisiana House Stops Abortion Bill That Allowed Murder Charges Against Women
Closely watched measure proposed the harshest abortion ban in the U.S.
Louisiana’s Republican-led House of Representatives stopped a measure Thursday that could have allowed women who obtain abortions to be charged with murder.
The proposal, which was passed out of a state House committee last week, sought to recognize a fertilized embryo as a person and made it possible for both doctors and pregnant women to be charged under the state’s homicide statute if they performed or received an abortion.

A wild fox from Anoka County has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza. This is the first confirmed case of this disease in a wild mammal in Minnesota.
The University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory alerted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, which is responsible for monitoring the health of the state’s wildlife. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory later confirmed the positive test earlier this week.
Last week, two red fox kits in Ontario, Canada tested positive for HPAI. Those kits were the first reported cases of the current HPAI outbreak in a wild mammal in North America. The Minnesota fox also was a kit.
The DNR routinely responds to reports of sick wildlife and conducts testing for many wildlife diseases, including canine distemper and rabies in foxes. In light of these most recent findings of HPAI in fox kits, the DNR will add avian influenza to the routine screening process when foxes exhibiting neurological symptoms are submitted to the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
This year’s HPAI strain is more aggressive and has caused more deaths amongst domestic poultry and wild birds than the previous strain in 2015.
“Testing in Minnesota has confirmed HPAI in nearly 200 wild birds, including 19 species of birds, primarily waterfowl and raptors,” said Michelle Carstensen, the DNR’s wildlife health program supervisor.
The DNR is coordinating bird sampling efforts with U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The Raptor Center, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, Wild and Free, and other wildlife rehabilitation centers. The DNR and its partners are still learning about this new HPAI strain and its effects on wildlife. The DNR’s monitoring efforts are designed to learn where the strain is spreading and what species might be affected.
“Wild animals can sometimes transmit diseases to humans, and while we typically think of rabies or other well-known diseases as the primary concerns, this shows that there are other risks to keep in mind as well,” said Dr. Joni Scheftel, state public health veterinarian with the Minnesota Department of Health. “The best advice we have for Minnesotans is to avoid contact with wildlife that appear sick or injured and contact your healthcare provider if you are bitten or have other close contact with wildlife.”
Minnesotans who find sick or dead waterfowl and raptors — which are the wildlife most affected by HPAI — should contact the DNR to file a report. Learn more about what kind of reports the DNR needs for monitoring purposes, its response to the avian influenza outbreak, and contact information on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/AI). | https://www.hometownsource.com/abc_newspapers/wild-fox-in-anoka-county-tests-positive-for-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza/article_0fbe5e8c-d25e-11ec-a13c-070dd508085a.html | 2022-05-13T02:25:33Z | https://www.hometownsource.com/abc_newspapers/wild-fox-in-anoka-county-tests-positive-for-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza/article_0fbe5e8c-d25e-11ec-a13c-070dd508085a.html | false | 8 |
UK Labour leader says he'll quit if fined for office beer
LONDON — (AP) — The leader of Britain’s main opposition party said Monday that he will resign if he is fined by police for having a beer and food with colleagues while the U.K. was under coronavirus restrictions.
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has acknowledged having a takeout curry and a beer in a lawmaker’s office in northeast England in April 2021. Starmer insists the meal, which took place during campaigning for a special election, was part of a workday and broke no rules.
After days of headlines about the story in Conservative-supporting newspapers, the local police force has said it will investigate.
Starmer said Monday he was “absolutely clear that no laws were broken.”
“They were followed at all times. I simply had something to eat whilst working late in the evening, as any politician would do days before an election,” he said. “But if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice I would, of course, do the right thing and step down.”
Starmer accused those attacking him of “trying to feed cynicism, so the public to believe all politicians are the same.”
Conservatives accuse Starmer of hypocrisy because he has called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign over lockdown-breaching parties in government offices. Johnson was fined 50 pounds ($62) by police for attending his own surprise birthday party in 10 Downing Street in June 2020 when lockdown rules barred social gatherings.
Johnson has apologized but denies knowingly breaking the rules. He faces the possibility of more fines over other parties and a parliamentary investigation into whether he misled lawmakers about his behavior.

What is the oldest Bonsai tree? 10 of the most-aged in the world and location
Bonsai trees may not be easy to care for but can last for centuries if properly cared for. Although each specie determines how best to care for it, some of the oldest Bonsai trees date from 1,000 years ago. Their care has been passed down generations.
Bonsai trees are the Japanese version of the traditional Chinese art of Penjing or Penzai. The two, however, have their differences. The Penjing uses traditional techniques to produce pure natural scenery in small pots that imitate the exquisite shapes of real-life scenery. On the other hand, the Japanese ones grow small trees that mimic the shape of real-life ones.
What are the oldest bonsai trees?
In the 6th century, students from Japan visited mainland China to study the Penjing types and returned with many Chinese ideas and goods, including container plantings. Over time, these container plantings began to appear in Japanese writings and figurative art. So, what are the common types of bonsai trees? Below are some of the oldest ones:
1. Chabo-Hiba Cypress
- Age: 175-275 years old
- Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Chabo–Hiba is among the 36 plants in the Arnold Arboretum Bonsai and Penjing Collection. Larz Anderson, the ambassador of the US to Japan at that time, introduced different species of trees to the United States in 1913. Among the plants are six Chabo-Hiba trees ranging from 175 to 275 years old, and as a result, they are recognised as the oldest bonsai trees available in America.
2. Hinoki trees
- Age: 232 years old
- Location: Boston, MA, USA
Hinoki trees have spent over two centuries in the same pot. They are found at Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, as part of the Lars Anderson Bonsai Collection. Hinoki tree is one of the massive types whose bushes require movement as part of its upkeep and care. Therefore, having one alive for this long time is an outstanding achievement.
3. Yamaki Pine
- Age: 390 years old
- Location: Washington DC, USA
The 390-year-old bonsai tree's true history was uncovered in 2001. The Yamaki Pine type resides in the US National Arboretum. It was donated to the United States by Masaru Yamaki in 1976 as a 53-specimen gift for its bicentennial. Yamaki is one of the bonsais that survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.
4. Sandai Shogun no Matsu
- Age: 500 years old
- Location: Tokyo, Japan
The Sandai Shogun no Matsu is a five-needle pine. It is considered one of the National Treasures of Japan. The tree is thought to be over 500 years old, making it expensive. It was named after Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, who got it when it was like 200 years old.
Since then, it has been passed down for care by Japan's emperors for over 500 years. Sandai Shogun no Matsu is currently displayed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace collection.
5. Red Pine Bonsai
- Age: 600 years old
- Location: Atami, Japan
The red pine is located at the Akao Herb & Rose Garden and is believed to be the biggest bonsai tree globally. It stands at over 16 feet tall and 30 feet wide.
The size makes it not to be a typical type but still qualifies under this category for being contained in a pot. Due to its massive size, support had to be added to hold up one of its main branches.
6. Shimpaku Juniper
- Age: 700 years old
- Location: Tokyo, Japan
It is located in the Mansei-en nursery, owned by the Kato family. The Japanese Shimpaku Juniper is a needled dioeciously evergreen. It is naturally irregular vase-shaped, and it has been trained to have a coiled trunk and branches.
The Shimpaku has attractive year-round foliage, and its dark green needles are soft to the touch. As a result, it is among the easiest to cultivate.
7. Unnamed Bonsai Tree at ShunkaEn
- Age: 800 years old
- Location: Tokyo, Japan.
This species is one of the largest of its kind placed in Tokyo, Japan. Kunio Kobayashi, a bonsai master for over 30 years, owns it. He has been practising the art and opened the Shunkaen Bonsai Museum in 2002 to spread Japanese culture.
8. Unnamed Bonsai Tree at ShunkaEn
- Age: 800 years old
- Location: Omiya
It is one of the most expensive bonsai trees globally and one of the two trees that Kunio Kobayashi owns. Interestingly, Kunio won the prestigious Prime Minister award in Japan four times because he came up with the idea of opening the Shunkae Museum in 2002.
9. Juniper Bonsai
- Age: 1,000 years old
- Location: Omiya, Japan
The Juniper is located in the Mansei-en nursery. The Kato family owns the nursery, and it is also known as The Sacred Land of Bonsai. The tree was collected from the wilds of Japan and tamed in the nursery.
Mansei-en is one of six gardens that make up the Omiya Bonsai Village. It is the oldest garden located in the village and has been under the Kato family since the 19th century. Nevertheless, it officially opened to the public in 1925.
10. Ficus Bonsai
- Age: 1000+ years old
- Location: Parabiago
The Ficus is believed to be the oldest existing globally, with over 1,000 years of existence. It is found at the Crespi Museum in Italy. Luigi Crespi, the founder of the Crespi Museum, gained its ownership in 1986 after ten years of failed ownership grants. He and Alberto Lavazza are the significant caretakers of the tree.
Before then, the tree was under the care of Chinese masters, and during its first years in Italy, it was shaped by Japanese bonsai master Shotaro Kawahara. Crespi Museum was founded in 1991, and the Ficus was placed in a glass pagoda and became the museum's centrepiece.
Frequently asked questions
- How old can bonsai trees get? It can easily live to over 100 years old under the right conditions. Others can even live for centuries up to a thousand years!
- How much does a 100-year-old bonsai cost? The prices vary widely from shop to shop and from country to country.
- What is so special about a bonsai tree? The trees have long been respected in the ancient art of Feng Shui for their ability to draw life energies into a room, sharing them gladly with all who pass through.
- Are bonsai trees good for indoors? The trees should be placed outdoors, where they are exposed to the four natural seasons just like normal trees are.
- How often do you water a bonsai tree? Once a week or so (when the topsoil feels completely dry), immerse the entire plant in a bucket or basin of water.
- Should I mist my bonsai tree? Yes, an indoor plant can benefit from misting because heating and air conditioning lower the humidity levels to surface-of-the-moon conditions in your home.
The oldest bonsai trees have stood the test of time and are admired through records to symbolise care and dedication. Some of them survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. Others are a result of generations of hard work and patience.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Unidentified suspects broke into one of Haiti’s main courthouses, ransacked judges’ offices and stole items including cell phones, Government Commissioner Jacques Lafontant told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Lafontant said evidence and documents linked to cases including the July 7 presidential slaying of Jovenel Moïse and the August 2020 killing of Monferrier Dorval, head of the bar association of Port-au-Prince, were not taken because they’re in a secure location elsewhere.
The break-in occurred earlier this week at the Court of First Instance in Haiti’s capital and is one of several reported in recent years, with authorities struggling to protect key evidence and documents in high-profile cases that remain unresolved.
Last year, local media reported that unidentified people stole the safe at the court’s general registry that contained documents for cases including Dorval’s. | https://www.wboy.com/news/world/official-suspects-break-into-haiti-court-ransack-offices/ | 2022-05-13T02:39:42Z | https://www.wboy.com/news/world/official-suspects-break-into-haiti-court-ransack-offices/ | false | null |
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Five-time former Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was reappointed on Thursday in an effort to bring stability to the island nation, which is engulfed in a political and economic crisis.
Wickremesinghe, a contentious choice by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, took his oath in a ceremony at the president’s residence. Protesters have blocked the entrance to the president’s office for more than a month.
The president’s brother, Mahinda Rajakapsa, resigned as prime minister on Monday following violent attacks by supporters on peaceful anti-government protesters. His resignation automatically dissolved the Cabinet, leaving an administrative vacuum.
The president’s selection of Wickremesinghe is an attempt to end the violence and restore international credibility as the government negotiates a bailout package with the International Monetary Fund.
Sri Lankans for months have been forced to stand in long lines to buy scarce essentials, with many returning empty-handed.
Wickremesinghe visited a Buddhist temple after taking his oath and told journalists he will work with the opposition and the governing party to find solutions to the hardships faced by the people.
Authorities on Wednesday deployed armored vehicles and troops in the streets of the capital after attacks on protesters triggered a wave of violence across the country. Nine people died and more than 200 were injured.
Security forces have been ordered to shoot people deemed to be participating in the violence as sporadic acts of arson and vandalism continued despite a strict nationwide curfew that began Monday evening.
A court on Thursday banned former prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, his former government minister son and 15 others from traveling overseas pending the results of investigations on Monday’s attack against peaceful protestors who had demanded the resignation of the Rajapaksa brothers, which triggered the countrywide violence against Rajapaksa supporters. Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned amid the violence.
Protesters had demanded the resignations of the Rajapaksa brothers because of the debt crisis that has nearly bankrupted the country and caused severe shortages of fuel, food and other essentials.
Some opposition politicians and religious leaders objected to Wickremesinghe’s appointment, saying citizens wanted sweeping reforms.
Opposition lawmaker Anura Dissananayake said the choice of Wickremesinghe was aimed more at protecting the president and his family from public anger over corruption allegationsand his role in the economic crisis than it was in solving the country’s problems.
When he was previously prime minister from 2015 to 2019, Wickremesinghe was accused of protecting the powerful Rajapaksa family from allegations of corruption and other wrongdoing.
Buddhist and Catholic clergy also objected to Wickremesinghe’s selection.
“This decision has been taken totally disregarding the aspirations of the people who are protesting today. The protests can only get worse by this decision,” said the Rev. Omalpe Sobitha, a senior Buddhist monk.
Catholic Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said “a complete change of the system” is needed for Sri Lanka to emerge from crisis.
Political analyst Ranga Jayasuriya said by appointing Wickremesinghe as prime minister, “President Gotabaya Rajapaksa did not put out the fire, but added fuel on it.”
“People would be angrier with this snub of appointing a man who has no public support,” Jayasuriya tweeted.
The U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Julie Chung, said she looks forward to working with Wickremesinghe and that his appointment and “the quick formation of an inclusive government are first steps to addressing the crisis and promoting stability.”
“We encourage meaningful progress at the IMF and long-term solutions that meet the needs of all Sri Lankans,” she said in a tweet.
Sri Lanka is nearly bankrupt and has suspended repayments of $7 billion in foreign loans due this year. The IMF has said any short or long-term assistance depends on the outcome of talks with creditors on loan restructuring. Sri Lanka must repay about $25 billion in foreign loans by 2026 out of a current total foreign debt of $51 billion.
The finance ministry said earlier this month that the country’s usable foreign reserves have plummeted to $25 million.
The foreign currency shortage has forced a sharp decline in imports, leading to severe shortages of essentials such as fuel, cooking gas, food and medicine.
Wickremesinghe will likely present a Cabinet list to the president for appointment, a power vested in him by the constitution.
If there are objections to the prime minister or the new Cabinet, lawmakers can submit a no-confidence motion to the house speaker when the body reconvenes on Tuesday. The motion would then be debated and voted on.
Wickremesinghe, 73, has been in Parliament for 45 years. His political party split in 2020 amid a leadership crisis and its most senior members left to form a new party, which is currently the country’s main opposition.
Wickremesinghe’s reputation was damaged during his previous term as prime minister, when he was in a difficult power- sharing arrangement with then-President Maithripala Sirisena.
Conflict and a communication breakdown between them were blamed for intelligence lapses that led to Easter Sunday suicide bomb attacks in 2019 that killed more than 260 people.
He was also accused of shielding a friend he had appointed as head of the Central Bank from allegations of insider trading. | https://www.abc4.com/news/party-official-wickremesinghe-to-be-appointed-sri-lankan-pm/ | 2022-05-13T02:40:05Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/party-official-wickremesinghe-to-be-appointed-sri-lankan-pm/ | false | 26 |
Louisiana lawmakers withdraw bill declaring abortion homicide
By Sharon Bernstein
May 12 (Reuters) - A bill in the Louisiana legislature aiming to charge women and their doctors with murder for obtaining or providing abortion services was withdrawn from consideration on Thursday amid outrage and a successful effort to amend it.
The measure by state Representative Danny McCormick would have would have abolished abortion in the state, granted constitutional rights to "all unborn children from the moment of fertilization" and classified abortion as a homicide crime.
The measure drew international attention and was criticized by people on both sides of the abortion debate.
It was removed from discussion by McCormick late Thursday after opponents amended it to say that women could not be charged with murder for seeking or obtaining an abortion and by inserting an exception to the state's abortion ban for the life of the mother, the state's legislative information website showed.
After the amendments, the measure was "returned to the calendar," the website showed. McCormick did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
Prosecuting women for obtaining abortions is not favored even by many anti-abortion groups, and the Louisiana Right to Life group said last week that it opposed the bill. The group said on its Facebook page on Thursday that it did not expect the measure to return for further consideration during the current legislative session.
"Louisiana Right to Life applauds the Louisiana House of Representatives for a united stand for life and for moms," the group said in a press release.
McCormick introduced the bill two days after a leaked draft ruling showed the U.S. Supreme Court poised to overturn the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
The bill was one of a raft of proposals by lawmakers in conservative states to restrict access to abortion and a sign of Republicans feeling emboldened by the leaked draft opinion. Such restrictions could go further than the so-called trigger laws, bans and other regulations that will take effect in some 26 states should Roe be overturned.

Well, to put it simply, if you’re with a carrier that uses the Telstra network, they will have access to Telstra’s 5G network and can then start offering you a 5G service. That’s great news for gamers using mobile internet from a provider that hasn’t previously offered 5G access.
It won’t be automatic and you won’t just be pushed onto the 5G network, however, you’ll likely be required to sign up for a 5G service.
The Telstra Wholesale 5G service will be available to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) from July. If you’re not familiar with the term, an MVNO is a wireless communications services provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure it uses.
Telstra reckons its coverage reaches just over 75 per cent of Australians and that you can expect to see speeds ranging 10-250 Mbps and have access to mmWave if your device supports it. Currently, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is the only handset in Australia that’s mmWave capable, however.
“The ability for our MVNO customers to offer a premium 5G mobile plan, as part of their suite of mobile solutions, provides even more possibilities for these customers to unlock new growth opportunities and attract different audiences seeking the performance benefits and capacity of 5G,” Telstra Wholesale sales and wholesale segment executive Glenn Osborne said.
Currently, there are a number of MVNOs using the Telstra network: Belong, Boost Mobile, Woolworths Mobile, ALDI Mobile, Pennytel, MATE and numobile. Exetel and Tangerine also use the Telstra network for some of their offerings.
Why have we used ‘finally’ in the headline? Well, all the way back in 2020, Optus opened its 5G network to its wholesale partners at the same time it launched the service for its own customers, so it’s about time Telstra jumped on board.
Also announced by Telstra was its plan to wholesale a “new customisable IoT product range”, including a specific IoT product that MVNOs will be able to offer. It also wants to target the wearable device market with “connectivity solutions for new market entrants to provide watches, cameras, pendants and other consumer devices with connectivity to their end consumers”. | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/05/telstra-opens-5g-to-mvno/ | 2022-05-13T02:41:43Z | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/05/telstra-opens-5g-to-mvno/ | false | 2 |
Which LED floor lamp is best?
No matter what room you’re decorating in your home, the right floor lamp can illuminate the space, enhance the design and significantly impact the mood.
You have many choices, but LED floor lamps are safer, last longer and consume less energy than floor lamps with incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Finding the right one for your space depends on the size and style of the room, but the best is the Brightech Helix LED Floor Lamp.
What to know before you buy an LED floor lamp
Benefits of LED lights
LED stands for light-emitting diode, and unlike regular lightbulbs that use filaments that can burn out, LED lights use electricity and emit light when a current passes through them. Because of the unique design, LED lights have the following benefits:
- Low temperature: Heat sinks absorb the light produced by LED bulbs, which prevents them from overheating.
- Long-lasting: The low temperature contributes to LED lights lasting up to 25% longer than incandescent lights.
- Energy-efficient: LED lights use up to 75% less energy than incandescent lights while providing the same amount of light.
- Saves you money: Lighting is responsible for up to 15% of the average home’s electrical cost, so switching to LED lights can save you big over time.
- Safety: Given the low temperature, LED lights are safer than incandescent lights if left on for extended periods. They also don’t contain any ultraviolet rays, so they are safe for the eyes.
- Better for the environment: Since LED lights consume less energy and last longer, they emit less carbon dioxide.
Uplighting vs. downlighting
When purchasing floor lamps, you typically have the following two choices:
- Uplighting: This is when the light from the lamp is directed toward the ceiling. This can help improve the ambience of a room and is ideal for larger, more open spaces. If looking to add even more atmosphere to the space, consider LED candles.
- Downlighting: This is when the light from the lamp is directed down toward the floor. It’s beneficial when you want more direct light or are performing more functional activities, such as reading. If you want a light for a smaller space, or your workstation, you might consider an LED desk lamp.
What to look for in a quality LED floor lamp
Color
LED lights can emit light in a range of colors, including white, blue, red, and green. Finding the best color light depends on the function of the space. Blues and white will keep you alert and are good for focus, while red and green can be more atmospheric.
Height
LED floor lamps vary in size, but most are between 50 and 72 inches tall. You might want to consider a shorter floor lamp if you plan to place it near a couch or chair. A good rule of thumb is to keep the bottom of the lampshade above the eye level of a seated person.
Lumens
Unlike watts that measure the energy of a light, LED lights are measured in lumens, which determine the brightness. A 100-watt lightbulb translates to 1,600 lumens.
How much can you expect to spend on an LED floor lamp?
LED floor lamps can range from $30-$150, depending on the features.
LED floor lamp FAQ
How long do LED floor lamps last?
A. The lifespan of an average LED lightbulb is approximately 30,000 hours, whereas a high-quality LED bulb can last over 10 years. If the bulb is integrated into the light fixture, the lifespan will increase since the power supply is external.
Can an LED floor lamp become a fire hazard if left on?
A. An LED bulb will not generate enough heat to start a fire because the power source is only used for light emission. This makes the bulb safer than an incandescent lightbulb that changes temperature and generates more heat.

A father, Kazeem Rahman, has demanded justice after suspected land grabbers allegedly shot his four-year-old son, Abdulmalik, to death in the Eredo area of Epe, Lagos State.
Kazeem, a mechanic, also works part time for a businessman, Wahab Bello.
The mechanic on April 15, was said to have worked on a faulty vehicle owned by his client on the premises of the Olorode Hotel owned by Bello in the Ipoka area of Epe.
After repairing the vehicle, Kazeem said he and his son went for a test drive and he used the opportunity to visit a pig and fish farm he was managing for Bello.
The aggrieved father said he was feeding the pigs and fishes when suspected land grabbers, led by a man identified as Ope 50, invaded the premises.
Speaking with our correspondent on Thursday, Kazeem said the hoodlums, upon sighting him on the farm, opened fire on him, adding that he fled the premises.
He noted that the suspects shot his son to death and set ablaze two vehicles.
Kazeem said, “I was about to feed the pigs when the land grabbers stormed the farm. Most of them wore masks except Ope 50, Bankoly, Seven-Seven, T-9, and Baba Amowe. Immediately they saw me, they started shooting at me and I ran for my life.
“As I made my way into the bush, they pursued me, but I was able to navigate my way to Odosonoye town in Epe. I quickly called Bello and told him to inform the police as my son was still on the farm.
“After a while, I left Odosonoye town and went back to Eredo, where a friend took me to Bello, who took me to the Noforija Police Station. We, alongside some policemen, went to the farm. But on the way, I was told that the land grabbers killed my son and burnt two vehicles.”
The mechanic said the police later raided the community and arrested some suspects, adding that he identified some of the attackers.
As investigations into the events that led to Abdulmalik’s death were ongoing, Kazeem said he and Bello were at his hotel when some policemen from Abuja stormed the hotel and arrested the latter.
“When he attempted to run, the policemen started shooting. They took him to the Federal SARS unit at Adeniji.

“He was later taken to the Zone 3 Command in Abuja, and later transferred to the homicide section at Area 10. We had to travel down to Abuja to know why he was arrested and it was when we got to Area 10 that we discovered that the sponsors of the land grabbers told them Bello was responsible for my son’s death.
“I had to write a statement to reveal the true state of things and also informed them that some of the suspects responsible for my son’s death had been arrested. But the policemen at Area 10, particularly the investigating police officer, are trying to scuttle the case. They even threatened to detain us.
“We secured Bello’s release and returned to Lagos on May 11, 2022. Policemen from Abuja and the Noforija division later visited the farm where my son was killed for investigation. I want justice and I don’t want the case swept under the carpet,” he added.
A video clip obtained by our correspondent showed the moment people carried Abdulmalik’s remains from the scene.
Wreckages of the burnt vehicles were also seen in the clip.
Photos of the child’s corpse seen by our correspondent revealed that he was shot in the stomach.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
He said, “As of the time the case was reported at Noforija division, three people had been arrested and the father of the deceased positively identified two of them because he saw the hoodlums when they invaded the farm.
“The case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, and investigation is ongoing.”

Reds get rare quality start in beating Pirates
Article content
Tyler Stephenson went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, and Connor Overton combined with two relievers on a four-hit shutout Thursday as the Cincinnati Reds snapped a 13-game road losing streak with a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The win ended the Reds’ longest run of road futility since a 19-game skid in 1933.
Stephenson hit a solo homer and an RBI single and is 14-for-33 with 13 RBIs in 10 games since coming off the injured list. Tyler Naquin added an RBI double and Colin Moran an RBI single for the Reds, who are 5-2 in their past seven games, including a series win — their first of the season — last weekend against the visiting Pirates.

Overton (1-0), a right-hander, picked up his first big-league win. He pitched a career-high 6 1/3 innings in his 12th career game, sixth start, allowing three hits and four walks, with one strikeout. He was the first Reds pitcher to go more than six innings and the first to get a quality start this season.
Luis Cessa pitched 1 2/3 innings, and Art Warren handled a one-hit ninth.
Pittsburgh starter JT Brubaker (0-3) pitched five innings, giving up two runs and four hits, with three strikeouts and two walks.
Cam Alldred followed Brubaker, pitching a scoreless inning in his major league debut.
In the second inning, Mike Moustakas opened with a double off the wall in right. Stephenson followed with a single up the middle to drive him in for a 1-0 Reds lead.
Leading off the fourth, Stephenson hit his fourth homer, a shot to left, to increase the lead to 2-0.
Overton lasted until he walked Yoshi Tsutsugo with one out in the seventh. Cessa relieved and completed the inning with no damage.
Against Pittsburgh reliever Duane Underwood Jr., fresh off the injury list after a hamstring strain, in the eighth, Tommy Pham singled to right to begin the inning. An out later, Stephenson singled to left. Pham scored on Moran’s base hit to left, and Stephenson came home on Naquin’s double off the wall in right for a 4-0 Reds lead.

A decade after the debut of Google Glass, a pair of glasses that filmed what users saw but raised privacy concerns and received low marks for its design, the platform has unveiled a new take on the segment, with a new product with visuals. more conventional and capable of displaying translations of conversations in real time.
“We’re working on technology that allows us to break down language barriers, taking years of searching Google Translate and bringing it to the glasses,” said Eddie Chung, director of product management at Google, calling the feature “subtitles for the world. “
Google also unveiled a tablet to be launched in 2023 and a smartwatch that will go on sale later this year, revealing a strategy to offer a group of products comparable to Apple.
But Google’s hardware business remains small, with its share of the global smartphone market, for example, below 1%, according to research firm IDC.
The unveiling of the new glasses reflects the company’s growing caution. When Google Glass was demonstrated at the company’s 2012 developer conference, skydivers used it to live-stream a jump from a San Francisco building, with the company obtaining special clearance for the stunt.
This time, Google only showed a video of the prototype, which showed translations for conversations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.
The company did not specify a release date or immediately confirm that the device did not have a built-in camera.
The tablet reverses Google’s decision three years ago to abandon manufacturing its own product after poor sales of just 500,000 units, according to IDC.
The new tablet follows increased user interest and was announced in advance to inform buyers of alternatives, Rick Osterloh, Google’s senior vice president of devices and services, told reporters.
He added that the Pixel Watch, which will not be compatible with iPhones, will appeal to users other than the Fitbit devices, which Google bought last year for $2.1 billion. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/05/13/google-unveils-new-glasses-that-translate-conversations-05-12-2022-mercado/ | 2022-05-13T02:49:01Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/05/13/google-unveils-new-glasses-that-translate-conversations-05-12-2022-mercado/ | false | 3 |

The Guinness Book of World Records is recognizing a special animal native to Australia as the world's oldest wombat in captivity.
"Wain" is 32-years-old and lives at the Satsukiyama Zoo in Ikeda City, Japan, decades after being rescued from his mother's pouch after a car accident at the end of 1989. On Jan. 31, 2022 Wain turned 32-years-old and 86 days, which according to the Guinness Book of World Records is said to be the human equivalent of 100 years.
Guinness says the average age of a wombat in the wild is just around 5-years-old, but it can reach around 20-years-old in captivity. Staff at the Satsukiyama Zoo in Japan were surprised to see Wain live to be so old.
Japan's Ikeda City, located near Osaka, which is south of Tokyo, is the sister city of Launceston, Tasmania in Australia. Wain was brought to Japan from Australia in 1990 with two other wombats named Wonder and Tia, as goodwill ambassadors traveling there to celebrate the relationship between the two cities and the 25th anniversary of the sister city bond.
A typical day for Wain is, he wakes up when a staff member opens the door to his quarters, then he eats breakfast and takes a walk, then naps under the sun. Wain's daily routine could be the secret to his longevity, but that is not certain.
He eats twice a day and his diet is mostly grass, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, pumpkins and some grass.
In a statement from zoo staff they wrote, "Once Wain arrived at our zoo, he was part of the first successful breeding in Japan. And now, he is a Guinness World Records holder. Although Satsukiyama Zoo is the second smallest zoo in Japan, we have become a place known worldwide. Because we are a small zoo, we can look after each animal with meticulous care. We want people to come to visit our vital animals as many times as they like – and it's free entry!" | https://www.fox4now.com/news/world/worlds-oldest-wombat-in-captivity-recognized-for-celebrating-32nd-birthday-in-japan | 2022-05-13T02:56:39Z | https://www.fox4now.com/news/world/worlds-oldest-wombat-in-captivity-recognized-for-celebrating-32nd-birthday-in-japan | false | 15 |
Several years after walking away from boxing, five-weight former champion Floyd Mayweather remains its king.
‘Money’ will continue to make history this weekend when he fights his former sparring partner Don Moore in an exhibition bout on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, some 700 feet above sea level.
The 45-year-old grandad remains a key player in boxing capable of charging $100,000 per ticket for his latest fight and raking in millions from his two previous exhibition bouts against YouTuber Logan Paul and Japanese kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa.
Mayweather is still able to do these types of things because no one has stepped up to fill the void he left when he retired five years ago.
He quit after his 49th win, against Andre Berto in 2015, but was lured back for a one-off crossover bout with Conor McGregor two years later, which he won.
However ridiculous people thought the bout was, it remains the second highest gate in Las Vegas boxing history.
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is undoubtedly the biggest professional boxing star right now, but he’s never been able to fill the shoes of ‘The Best Ever.’
At the weekend, Canelo was beaten for the second time in his career, falling to a unanimous decision defeat against WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Most read in Boxing
While staying unbeaten isn’t everything it certainly helps someone like Mayweather stake his claim as the greatest of all time, with plenty of fans buying into his perfect 50-0 record.
The fact Mayweather schooled Canelo over 12 rounds when they fought makes it hard for certain boxing fans to accept the Mexican as the heir to Mayweather, especially as he continues to fight – albeit against lesser opposition.
As Mayweather exited the sport, a new and exciting era of heavyweight boxing began with Britain’s Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at the forefront.
‘The Gypsy King’ recently retired following a WBC mandatory title defence against Dillian Whyte in April, leaving millions of pounds on the table and plenty of questions unanswered.
Fury could’ve been the man to replace Mayweather as the king of boxing but instead, he seems more interested in chasing a big payday in a crossover fight with Francis Ngannou.
Meanwhile, Joshua has suffered two bad defeats that have somewhat derailed his hype train. ‘AJ’ managed to avenge his shock loss to Andy Ruiz and will need a similar result when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk for the second time later this year.
The British heavyweight’s certainly appeared capable of replacing Mayweather as the king of boxing but until now they have seemed unwilling or unable to do so.
The only other fighters capable of reaching Mayweather levels are Errol Spence and Terence Crawford who refuse to fight each other.
A distinct lack of stars in boxing has allowed Mayweather’s post-fight career to flourish and opened up a whole new wacky world of exhibition bouts.
After 15 years in retirement Mike Tyson, who was in his fifties, made his return to the ring against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 – fighting to a draw.
The fight was the best-selling of the year and paved the way for the career of Jake Paul, who appeared on the undercard and has become one of the biggest stars in boxing despite the fact he’s never actually fought anyone with a background in the sport.
Since turning pro, Paul has amassed a 5-0 record, a ton of hype, and money as he’s boxed a fellow internet celebrity, an NBA player, and two former MMA champions.
It might sound outlandish to fans, but the hype for a ‘Problem Child’ fight is far greater than 99 per cent on boxers. With no stars in sight, YouTube boxing, crossover fights, and freak shows could well be the new normal. | https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1107390/floyd-mayweather-vs-don-moore-canelo-anthony-joshua-tyson-fury/ | 2022-05-13T02:57:46Z | https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1107390/floyd-mayweather-vs-don-moore-canelo-anthony-joshua-tyson-fury/ | false | 1 |

With the season on the line, the Sixers fell apart at the finish line, dropping the game, 99-90, and the series, 4-2, to the Miami Heat. While not playing very inspiring ball in the first half, the Sixers got solid halves from Joel Embiid and James Harden and found themselves down by just a point. They completely collapsed in the third quarter, shooting just 6-of-21 from the field in the frame. Behind a 32-point performance from Jimmy Butler and 20 points from Max Strus, the Heat would take a double-digit lead and never look back.
Joel Embiid gave it everything his body gave him, putting up 20 points and 12 rebounds, but was hampered from the field as he shot 7-of-22. James Harden had a solid 11-point first half before putting on quite the disappearing act; he did not score in the second half. Tyrese Maxey had 20 points, but it was too little, too late. As the Sixers head into another offseason with more questions than answers, here are some instant reactions from Game 6.
First Half
- The Danny Green injury looked absolutely brutal. So much of Embiid’s weight landed on his left leg. This is a big blow for a team already struggling with wing depth in this series. Despite his inconsistencies, losing Danny Green in the second round is a big blow for this team for the second year In a row.
- Green’s lack of spacing presence was felt immediately, as the offensive really struggled in extended Thybulle minutes. The Sixers have already struggled to get Embiid the ball in Miami’s zone, but it was even harder when they are basically playing 4 vs. 5 offensively.
The Heat's defense is completely ignoring Matisse Thybulle.

- Jimmy Butler was an absolute menace in this series, especially in the games in Philly. He picked up right where he left off, with a nine of his 32 points coming in the first. Max Strus was another thorn in Philly’s side, going for 16 first half points. The Sixers were lucky to only be down three after the first quarter.

HEAT 28 | SIXERS 25

- The Sixers were buoyed by their stars in the second quarter. Despite still struggling with his midrange game, Embiid left it all out there. He sat just one minute of the first half, and was literally throwing his body all over the court. He finished the first half with 14/6/2.
- James Harden also had a solid first half, with 11 points (3-of-5 3PT) and five assists, but getting hardly any contribution from anyone else allowed Miami to take a one-point lead back into the half.
Second Half
- It is a little astonishing how much more intensity the Heat came out of the half with than the Sixers. The Heat started the third on a 23-4 run, during which the Sixers looked like they were still in mid-February, not an elimination game. The lack of intensity by pretty much every Sixer not named Embiid showed in the last two games was disheartening.

— Jackson Frank (@jackfrank_jjf) May 13, 2022
- It completely unravelled in the third quarter. Once the Heat got out to a lead, the Sixers folded like a beach chair. It is so disappointing to see the season end this way. There was a little seven-point spurt from Shake Milton which looked like the faintest sign of life, and Maxey had a small burst in the fourth, but the Heat squashed both. It was always going to be an uphill battle to win this series with Embiid injured, but the fact that it felt like he was giving way more with a broken face than any of his teammates is honestly a really fitting way to sum up the entire season. | https://www.libertyballers.com/2022/5/12/23069552/sixers-season-comes-to-an-end-99-90-final-score-game-6-defeat-to-miami-heat-philadelphia-76ers-nba | 2022-05-13T03:14:39Z | https://www.libertyballers.com/2022/5/12/23069552/sixers-season-comes-to-an-end-99-90-final-score-game-6-defeat-to-miami-heat-philadelphia-76ers-nba | true | 1 |
DETROIT: Shares of
Tesla and
Twitter have tumbled this week as investors deal with the fallout and potential legal issues surrounding Tesla CEO
Elon Musk and his $44 billion bid to buy the social media platform.
Of the two, Musk's electric vehicle company has fared worse, with its stock down almost 16% so far this week to $728. Twitter shares fell 9.5% for the week, closing Thursday at $45.08. Both stocks have taken a bigger hit than the S&P 500, which is down 4.7% for the week.
Along with malaise in the broader markets, investors have had to weigh legal troubles for Musk, as well as the possibility that his acquisition of Twitter could be a distraction from running the world's most valuable automaker.
The
Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that U.S. securities regulators are investigating Musk's tardy disclosure that he had bought more than 5% of Twitter shares. Musk now owns more than 9% of the San Francisco company.
The SEC wouldn't comment, and a message was left for Musk's lawyer.
A lawsuit filed last month by some Twitter shareholders alleges that Musk's stake hit 5% on March 14, so he should have filed forms with the SEC disclosing that by March 24. Instead, Musk didn't make the required disclosure until April 4, hurting less-wealthy investors who sold Twitter stock in the nearly two weeks before he disclosed his stake and drove up the price, the lawsuit alleges.
Also Wednesday, a federal judge in California handed a group of Tesla shareholders a major victory, unsealing his ruling that Musk falsely and recklessly tweeted in 2018 that he had funding secured to take Tesla private when the deal wasn't final. The tweets pushed up Tesla's share price at the time.
The ruling means that jurors in a shareholder lawsuit will start off knowing that the judge has ruled that Musk's tweets were false.
At the time of the Aug. 7, 2018 tweets, Musk was in talks with the Saudi Public Investment Fund about bankrolling the deal. But Judge
Edward Chen determined that it wasn't final when Musk tweeted: "Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.”
Chen wrote that there was “nothing concrete” about funding from the Public Investment Fund, and that discussions were clearly preliminary.
"There had been no discussion about what the purchase price would be for a share of stock. Nor had there been any discussion about what percentage of the company the PIF would own or the total amount of money the PIF would contribute,” Chen wrote in his ruling.
Musk's lawyers have asked Chen to reconsider, contending that they aren't aware of cases in which a court has taken similar issues out of a jury's hands “where the statements were at best ambiguous and were issued in the word-constrained and informal context of posts on Twitter.”
The August 2018, tweets already have landed Musk in legal trouble. The SEC brought a securities fraud charge, which Musk and Tesla settled in 2018. Each agreed to pay a $20 million fine and that a company lawyer would review any Musk tweets that could affect the stock price. The SEC is investigating whether Musk has violated that requirement.
Musk recently lost a bid to have the settlement thrown out on grounds that it violated his First Amendment free speech rights.
Since Musk made his $54.20 per share offer to buy Twitter public on April 14, the shares are exactly the same price — $45.08. Analysts say that's an indication of investor skepticism that the deal will go through even though Musk has lined up financing. Twitter shares are up 4.3% year to date.
Tesla shares, however, are down 26% since the April 14 offer, partly on fears that Musk will become distracted as Tesla, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, opens two new factories and deals with supply chain issues. The shares have tumbled more than 30% so far this year. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/tesla-twitter-shares-drop-as-elon-musks-legal-issues-grow/articleshow/91530897.cms | 2022-05-13T03:15:25Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/tesla-twitter-shares-drop-as-elon-musks-legal-issues-grow/articleshow/91530897.cms | false | 34 |
“Millions of people around the world will die because these ports are being blocked,” Beasley told CNN during a conference on Thursday.
Beasley, a former Republican governor of South Carolina, warned that the ports must be operational within the next 60 days or Ukraine’s agriculture-centric economy will implode.
“If you don’t get this port issue resolved and open, Ukraine’s economy completely collapses,” Beasley said at the SABEW conference in New York. “It becomes landlocked like Moldova. The ports are critical.”
“Guess what?” Biden said while visiting a farm in Illinois Wednesday. “If those tons don’t get to market, an awful lot of people in Africa are going to starve to death because they are the sole supplier of a number of African countries.”
Weaponizing food and energy?
Asked if Russia is similarly weaponizing food, the UN’s Beasley said that would be the case if the ports are not swiftly reopened. “Two plus two is four,” he said.
But unblocking the ports won’t be easy. Not only are they defended by mines and battleships, Beasley said Ukraine’s military is concerned that reopening them will allow Russia to pull a “quick move” and invade Ukraine through its ports.
While emphasizing that he’s the “humanitarian guy,” the UN official called for an “understanding” within the international community that they will do “what’s necessary to protect” the ports from being “invaded.”
“World leaders have got to put pressure on Russia in such a way that we can have absolute neutrality to move supplies in and out of Odessa,” Beasley said.

One-Stop voting eclipses 1,000 ballots cast
ELIZABETHTOWN — According to informati0on from the Bladen County Board of Elections, a total of 133 registered voters cast their ballots on Thursday during One-Stop early voting for the May 17 primary. It was the busiest day there would be through the weekend.
On Wednesday, 125 ballots were cast in the county.
There were 108 votes cast with 10 updated registrations on Friday; Saturday saw 81 votes cast with two new registrations; and on Sunday, only 32 ballots were cast.
To date, over the course of the first eight days of One-Stop, a total of 1,194 voters have cast ballots.
The early voting period — or One-Stop voting — for the 2022 statewide primary ends at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 14. Registered voters or eligible individuals in North Carolina may cast an absentee ballot in person during this time.
During One-Stop voting, registered voters may cast a ballot at any early voting site in the county, and would-be voters may same-day register and vote. This is different than Election Day, where registered voters must vote at their assigned polling place.

A quote from Dr. Strasser is below:
"If the United States Supreme Court reverses Roe v Wade, the ripple effects will be enormous, including greater maternal and infant mortality and a long-lasting impact on women and families." according to a piece just published in Health Affairs by Julia Strasser, a senior research scientist and colleagues at the George Washington University. "Reversing Roe will not only make it immeasurably harder for abortion providers to deliver the care they were trained to furnish, but will further endanger their well-being and safety." | https://www.newswise.com/politics/gw-expert-available-to-discuss-repercussions-of-reversing-roe-v-wade-for-both-patients-and-providers | 2022-05-13T03:23:31Z | https://www.newswise.com/politics/gw-expert-available-to-discuss-repercussions-of-reversing-roe-v-wade-for-both-patients-and-providers | false | null |

Mayweather slams ‘upset’ boxing critics as eye-watering pay packet for helipad fight revealed
Floyd Mayweather continues to defy his age, with the boxing superstar set to pocket up to nine figures in his upcoming fight against Don Moore on a helipad in Dubai on Sunday.
The 45-year-old walked away from professional boxing in 2017 after dominating Conor McGregor and has turned to participating in fights with exhibition rules, most recently against YouTube star Logan Paul in June last year.
Watch Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather vs Don ‘Dangerous’ Moore LIVE on Main Event available on Kayo & Foxtel, Sun 15th May from 4am AEST. ORDER NOW >
Exhibition rules will once again apply in Mayweather’s (50-0) fight against 42-year-old Moore (18-0-1), who has not fought professionally since 2016.
The bout will take place on the helipad atop the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, located 200ft high, with former UFC great Anderson Silva also featuring on the fight card.
English boxing star Anthony Joshua has previously done workouts in a ring on the helipad while tennis greats Roger Federer and Andre Agassi played an exhibition match on the helipad.
A small crowd has been granted access to the helipad to watch the event in person and Mayweather promised to deliver for the fans.

“I love displaying my talents for the whole world and doing something new that interests me,” Mayweather told The Mirror.
“Boxing is entertainment, and that’s what I’m all about. I worked hard to accomplish more than anyone during my career, and now I’m going to enjoy the fruits of my labour, while still giving fans something exciting to watch.
“I promise you’ve never seen a boxing event like this. I’m going to continue to break barriers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event and I’m a once-in-a-lifetime fighter.
“There’s no-one else in the sport who could headline an event this over-the-top.
“I’m going to give the fans what they paid for.”
In terms of how much Mayweather will make from the fight, the undefeated great claimed in an interview that he would earn somewhere between “eight and nine figures” for taking on Moore atop the Burj Al Arab.
He also hit out at those who are frustrated that he is still making bucketloads of money from the sport despite not competing at a professional level anymore.
“I was able to leave boxing on my own terms and now the boxing critics are upset that I am able to still milk and finesse the sport of boxing by throwing exhibitions,” Mayweather told Fight Hype.
“Sixteen minutes and I am able to get eight and nine figures from the fruits of my labour.
“Once again I am not hurting for my money, I am far from hurting for money. I didn’t retire from getting money.”

According to Vanetsyan, the Armenian people played an important role in the victory in the Patriotic War, they will still create new victories.

Eight homes were destroyed by fire Thursday at Skylark Mobile Home Park, according to the Colorado Springs Fire Department.
The fire started as a single-structure blaze shortly before noon at the mobile home park at 3831 N. Cascade Ave. The fire spread amid high winds with gusts up to 53 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.
No injuries were reported, but Lt. Aaron McConnellogue with the fire department said crews still needed to conduct secondary searches of the burnt mobile homes.
It was anticipated that the area could remain on evacuation orders into Thursday night while firefighters searched for and extinguished hot spots, McConnellogue said.
Crews battled 50-foot flames as 500-pound propane tanks used to heat mobile homes caught fire, McConnellogue said.
Jeff Mason, 32, evacuated with his 68-year-old mother and dog Sammie, after he heard "loud bangs" and "booms" outside and spotted propane tanks shooting flames into the air like "fire spouts."
EVACUATION ORDER for 3831 N Cascade Av; Skylark Mobile Home Park due to a structure fire. Everyone in this area is ordered to evacuate immediately. For more info, monitor local media. Please evacuate all of Skylark Mobile Home Park https://t.co/SGwx4OWCn4
— CSFD PIO (@CSFDPIO) May 12, 2022
"When I looked out the window I could feel the heat through the window from the fire across the street," Mason said
Mason said he and his mother didn't have a vehicle but gathered with others at the front of the mobile home park waiting for a van to transport them to Grace Baptist Church, where they were met by an American Red Cross Disaster Relief team providing waters, Gatorade and snacks.
Firefighters rescued one wet and soot-covered dog from a scorched mobile home, and more pets were seen roaming the area of the evacuation. Anyone who is missing a pet can contact The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, firefighters said.
The structure fire came during a Thursday when local fire crews were busy with at least two other grass fires around Colorado Springs.
Fire Marshal Brett Lacey praised the “awareness and behavior” of residents who quickly obeyed the evacuation order during the Akerman fire in the Stetson Hills neighborhood of northeast Colorado Springs, and implored residents across the city to remain vigilant in what could be a busy fire season.
“You’ve got to be prepared. You’ve got to be thinking about this,” Lacey said. “These fires are happening all over the city.”
Fires near the Colorado Springs Airport and near Cripple Creek in Teller County also forced evacuations Thursday. | https://gazette.com/news/fire/8-homes-destroyed-in-colorado-springs-mobile-home-park-fire/article_babe2688-d258-11ec-9046-3f5817fd71c1.html | 2022-05-13T03:46:02Z | https://gazette.com/news/fire/8-homes-destroyed-in-colorado-springs-mobile-home-park-fire/article_babe2688-d258-11ec-9046-3f5817fd71c1.html | false | 2 |

National: Three Waters could 'rip the heart' out of some small councils
The Three Waters reform could “rip the heart” out of some small councils, according to the National Party's local government spokesperson.
National MP Simon Watts was in Southland on Friday where he held meetings with representatives of the Invercargill, Gore, Southland District councils, and Environment Southland.
A key topic was the Government's Three Waters reform which National has gone as far as labelling theft of water assets.
Three Waters (drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater) are currently controlled by our 67 democratically elected city and district councils. The Government’s plan would shift Three Waters from council control to being managed by four new regional water entities.

* 'Time to get this done': Ngāi Tahu commends Government for three waters tweaks
* Southern mayors pleased with the Government's Three Waters announcement
* 'Government has stolen our water assets': Invercargill city councillor
National is proposing an alternative model.
“What we are proposing is like-minded councils, like Otago and Southland for example, could collaborate sharing services or sharing staff, or they may contract out that,” Watts said.
“They may look to form local entities, but they should be able to make the decision on how they work together locally.”
Watts said the Three Waters infrastructure was a significant amount of what councils do, particularly the smaller councils.
To take that away would be a blow to those local organisations, he said.
“The Three Waters reform in effect rips the heart out of local government across New Zealand. Three Waters is a key element of what councils do, along with roading and other provisions of services.
“But individuals within the local government don’t just do water, they do other roles as well.
“So this concept of, we are actually going to take the people out, well you can’t take the legs and arms out of people because people wear multiple hats in smaller communities.”
Watts also felt the reforms would lead to a loss of local voice with councils lumped into a “mega-entity”.
Southland’s councils would be part of a South Island water entity, with just the northern part of the South Island part of another group.
“With this entity down here you are going to have a large number of councils and iwi sitting around the table, 20, 30 maybe more. To make a decision with that many people is completely unrealistic.”
Although the Government's Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta said there would be local input.
There would be sub-regional groups, also co-governed with iwi, that would better allow for the views of smaller groups within the territory of a water entity to have a say in the decisions of the regional groups.
“That will take a number of these strategic decisions closer back to community to enable the types of outcomes that communities want to see,” Mahuta said. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/local-government/128637876/national-three-waters-could-rip-the-heart-out-of-some-small-councils | 2022-05-13T04:00:51Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/local-government/128637876/national-three-waters-could-rip-the-heart-out-of-some-small-councils | false | 1 |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Taylor Hearn allowed only one hit in five scoreless innings, Brad Miller homered and the Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Thursday night.
The Royals’ first hit literally was off Hearn. Michael A. Taylor sent a liner up the middle off the pitcher’s leg that continued to the left of second base and into left field with two out in the second inning.
Hearn (2-2) walked three and struck out five.
Joe Barlow pitched a scoreless ninth, retiring Whit Merrifield on a grounder with two runners on base, for his sixth save in six opportunities.
Jonathan Heasley (0-1) allowed four hits and four runs in 3 1/3 innings in his first major league appearance this season.
Miller led off the bottom of the first inning with an infield hit against a shift and later scored on a two-out, popup single by Kole Calhoun over third baseman Emmanuel Rivera's head in short left field.
Miller hit a home run, his fifth, off the right field foul pole in the seventh.
Texas reliever Brock Burke pitched two hitless innings before Kansas City used three consecutive singles to break up the shutout in eighth against John King. Matt Bush relieved King to get the third out, fanning Bobby Witt Jr. with runners at first and second.
Adolis Garcia restored Texas' two-run lead in the bottom half when he tripled and scored on Josh Staumont's wild pitch.
HOME COOKING
Heasley was recalled from Triple-A Omaha to take the place of LHP Kris Bubic, who was optioned to Omaha. The 25-year-old Heasley was 1-1 in three starts for the Royals last season.
“It's an opportunity,” manager Mike Matheny said. “He's going to be someone that we're going to watch closely now that he'll be here to help us. He's got three plus pitches — changeup and breaking ball are both very good, and his fastball. This is going to be a good test for him back in his home territory. It's an extra add to already being a great test, and he's ready for it.”
Heasley is from Plano, Texas, 29 miles from Globe Life Field. Hearn is from Royse City, an additional 20 miles from the Rangers' home field.

CHICAGO -- Women in sports are supposed to get the same opportunities and resources as men.
But 50 years after the passage of Title IX - civil rights law that requires equal opportunities for men and women at institutions receiving federal funding - there is still a lot to be done both nationally and locally.
Despite those hurdles and obstacles, a group of local high school athletes recently made history in the state wrestling tournament.
RELATED: Title IX: Explaining the landmark civil rights law that codified gender equity in sports and beyond
At the first-ever Illinois girls high school state wrestling tournament in February, Homewood Flossmoor had 8 qualifiers - six of them first-time wrestlers, and six of them female.
"That was actually really big for me," sophomore Jocelyn Williams said, "because I'm big on women are better than men, no offense. I was just excited that we had an opportunity to get some spotlight."
"The fact that they took this level of thinking and planning just for girls to be able to wrestle," sophomore Ini Odumosu said. "I was just shocked, amazed and happy that they actually went that far for us."
"This is a culture," Coach Scott Aronson said. "They are positive with each other, they support each other. They feel each other's pain, they celebrate each other's victories. It's unbelievable. I've never been a part of that."
RELATED: Title IX paved the way for Sterling High girls' basketball team's historic 1st championship win
Aronson recognizes the growing popularity of wrestling among high school girls, but also sees the inequalities that remain.
Analysis by the ABC7 Data Team finds that 50 years after Title IX, things are not 50/50. In Illinois alone, 50,000 more high school boys participate in sports than girls.
"A lot of these tournaments for the girls, we don't have bracket boards yet," Aronson said. "They're not putting the same funding into the girls as they are the boys... They didn't keep team score in our sectional, and so, there was no sectional winner, there was no team trophy. Boys get that."
RELATED | 'Steps in the right direction': How Title IX changed the game for women in sports 50 years later
It's a sign of where things stand. After 50 years of Title IX, there's still a push to level the playing field.
"We still have a long, long way to go for gender equality in this country in so many different areas including sports," Depaul Women's Basketball Coach Doug Bruno said.
"But there's not Title IX police running around the country to enforce it," 1979 high school basketball state champion Missy Isaacson said. "There are still lawsuits, there is still a lack of compliance. There is still a huge shortage of women administrators, athletic directors. That's not against Title IX, but it's a reflection of things we still have to work on."
"This notion of Title IX on the basis of sex is always going to be a fight that we're going to have to fight," 1979 high school basketball state champion Amy Eshleman said.

Rocío Carrasco sweeps the most sophisticated hairstyle for the ‘pixie’ guests over 40 years old
Rocío Carrasco has shown that a haircut as radical as the pixie gives a lot of play, she has given it the most elegant point with a lifting effect hairstyle, which defines the cheekbones and gives a lot of prominence to makeup
Rocío Carrasco is making the most of her new pixie haircut proving that far from what it may seem, wearing very short hair is much more versatile than it seems. In her reappearance in Seville for the tribute concert to her mother, Rocío Jurado, she not only dazzled with her look or her makeup, also with her groundbreaking and daring hairstyle, perfect for ‘pixie’ guests over 40 years old at any event this season.
Unlike Charlene’s pixie haircut, in a minimal style, Rocío Carrasco has opted for a cut with maxi volume in the upper area of the head that allows her an infinite number of stylish hairstyles. Rocío Carrasco is a clear example of the versatility of a cut as extreme as the pixie and with which she feels very comfortable. She has worn it with XL bangs to the side, wavy with an effortless effect or with a curly wet effect.. To all of them he has just added a third, the most groundbreaking, with a lot of volume and backwards.
Paz Vega, Úrsula Corberó, Kristen Stewart, Scarlett Johansson or Charlize Theron wore this hairstyle before Rocío Carrasco that leaves the side area very, very short and a lot of volume in the part of the head. It is a lifting effect hairstyle that defines the cheekbones and also gives a lot of prominence to the makeup. An ideal top to show off a short haircut in a sophisticated way on the most special occasions, in the case of Rocío Carrasco, by wearing a bow at the neck of her look, she stylized her figure to the maximum.
To get your hairstyle is as easy as Blow-dry your head downwards to get maximum volume from the roots and then with a roller brush mark backwards. Finally put a texturizing product to achieve that wet effect and finish with a little hairspray.
short hair already garçon It causes a sensation and is the maximum trend. Rocío Carrasco not only hit the table when she cut off her long mahogany hair, but she also plays with all the possibilities, showing that a pixie can be very elegant and totally inspiring.
The key to its versatility is in leaving the upper part longer.

University of Illinois produces first image of a black hole
CHICAGO - The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign revealed Thursday the first ever look at our galaxy’s black hole.
"It's been a big secret for many months and we're finally able to discuss it now," said UIUC professor of physics and astronomy Dr. Charles Gammie.
The animated image looks like a flaming orange donut. Turns out, that’s exactly what UIUC researchers predicted it would look like. The ring is exactly the right size to be consistent with Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity.
The images were made possible by a collaboration of 300 scientists globally, using eight radio telescopes positioned around the world.

"This imaging process involves taking data from each of those telescopes now and combining it in a computer to guess what the image actually looks like," said Dr. Gammie.
The university built cutting edge computer models of what they expected the telescopes to see.
"Then we run them on the largest super computers in the world, so our job is to sort of explain what it all means," said Dr. Gammie.

The black hole is 27,000 light years away from Earth.

In the last few years, there has been a rise of Asian and Asian American representation in hit films, like the history-making best picture winner "Parasite," the rom-com hit "Crazy Rich Asians" and now the critically-acclaimed "Everything Everywhere All at Once," in theaters now.
While AAPI representation in film has changed in a positive way, there is still a ways left to go.
In a roundtable for Entertainment Weekly during the press tour for "Everything Everywhere All At Once," lead actor Ke Huy Quan shared how this movie was his return to film after quitting acting long ago over a lack of roles.
KE HUY QUAN: And then the truth is, as I got older, there was just not a lot of opportunities for an Asian actors, at that time.
JAMIE LEE CURTIS: Older meaning like, 14.
QUAN: No, no, like late teens, early 20s.
CURTIS: Right, okay.
QUAN: And it came, like, once a year or once every six months, while my peers were auditioning two times a week, three times a week.
Plus, it's not like Quan wasn't connected; he had been in some of the biggest movies as a kid, such as playing Short Round in "Indiana Jones" and Data in "The Goonies." But his experience in having a tough time finding adult roles as an Asian-American actor is all too common in the industry.
A report from the University of Southern California analyzed Asian and Pacific Islander actors and roles in 1,300 popular films from 2007 to 2019. It found there was little to no meaningful increase in representation, despite Asian Americans being the fastest-growing demographic in the U.S.
Only 3.4% of films had an Asian American lead or co-lead; that's only 44 movies. Of those 44 movies, 14 were led by one guy: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The report also found that 39% of films had no Asian and Pacific Island characters at all. In total, less than 6% of all speaking roles went to API actors.
Many roles expressly for Asian characters still may be going to White actors anyway.
Yellowface make-up and prosthetics have been a fairly common technique used in Hollywood since some of its earliest films. One infamous example was the 1937 film "The Good Earth," where German American actress Luise Rainer won an Academy Award for her depiction of a Chinese character, complete with prosthetics. Hollywood trailblazer Anna May Wong was passed over the role because Hollywood's production code at the time forbade depictions of screen intimacy between people of different races, and she was reportedly heartbroken by the decision.
While yellowface has been largely phased out in recent decades, there's been a number of recent roles rewritten for white actors or simply cast as white actors, despite being an Asian character. For instance, Emma Stone acted in "Aloha," Tilda Swinton in "Dr. Strange" and Scarlett Johansson in "Ghost in the Shell."
The 2018 hit "Crazy Rich Asians" was based on a book by Kevin Kwan, who passed on a large paycheck just to make sure he could be involved in creative and development choices — namely in casting. He optioned his book to studios for only a single dollar.
Kwan told the Hollywood Reporter his choice came after one pitch strongly recommended he change the Asian heroine to a white woman to get more interest in the film. He alleges a producer told him, "It's a pity you don't have a white character."
"Crazy Rich Asians," led by an all-Asian ensemble cast, became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the past decade.
When talking about diverse representation in movies, it's about so much more than symbolic milestones — we're talking about lasting impacts on both the wider culture and for the individual moviegoer.
While there's still so much progress to be made, this AAPI heritage month can also mark how far the industry has come and raise excitement about how Hollywood may be changing.
For example, "Crazy Rich Asians" made a huge impact on one former child actor in particular.
"That movie just hit me on so many levels," Quan said. "I remember watching it three times in the theater, and I cried every single time. And, I had serious FOMO... and I go, 'Wow I wish I was up there.' Seriously. And the idea of getting back into acting, that's where it started."

Florida's offense ignites 9-3 win over Kentucky, sending Gators to SEC softball semifinal
While first pitch ran more than two hours behind for the second night in a row, the fifth-seeded Florida Gators weren't running behind at all.
After beating Texas A&M 4-1 on Wednesday night in the opening round of the SEC softball tournament, the Gators returned to the dirt of Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium on Thursday night as they took on the fourth-seeded Kentucky Wildcats.
With another speedy start to the game, the Gators (43-15) knocked off the Wildcats 9-3, sending Kentucky (35-17) back to Lexington and advancing into the tournament semifinal.
Here are three takeaways from Florida's win.

Where they close?:SEC Softball Tournament: Experts pick every game and the tournament winner
Gators capitalize on free passes
After suffering a series sweep to Arkansas nearly three weeks ago, Florida head coach Tim Walton mentioned that his lineup wasn't walking enough.
Against the Razorbacks that weekend, the Gators walked just three times, while Arkansas took 13 free bases.
"We look very mediocre in plus counts," Walton said after falling to Arkansas in the series' finale. " And give them credit, they're looking to hit. They're not scared. But I do feel like we're backwards at times — we take really good pitches and swing at bad ones."
However, against the Wildcats, patience paid off as the Gators drew seven walks, which was one more than Kentucky's bullpen had given up all season.
"We gave up too many free passes," Kentucky head coach Rachel Lawson said. "When you do something like that to a team that good, it's really, really hard to come back from. I think that was pretty much the story of the game."
Florida's first run of the night came via a bases-loaded walk from the hand of Kentucky pitcher Tatum Spangler, which scratched across freshman Kendra Falby (3-5), who reached on a leadoff single.
In the top of the second, the Gators notched another pair of walks, which loaded the bases for senior Charla Echols (1-2, 2 RBI walk), who issued a two-RBI ground-rule double.
"I think she's been swinging the bat really well," Walton said of Echols. "School's over, so she's just able to focus on being a softball player."
Florida chases four Kentucky pitchers
Following Florida's win over Texas A&M Wednesday night, Walton remarked on Kentucky's hearty staff of pitchers. But was he expecting to see a majority of them on Thursday night? Probably not.
The Gators' lineup was just as lethal on Thursday night as Florida scattered 11 hits, which chased four different Kentucky pitchers out of the circle.
"We're going to do everything in our power to score first, score early," Walton said, alluding to a conversation he had with the team last Saturday.
Spangler, who started for the Wildcats, saw her night end after just 0.1 inning of action that saw her give up three walks and three runs.
Spangler was relieved by junior Miranda Stoddard (1.0 IP, 3 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks) who immediately gave up a two-RBI single to UF freshman Reagan Walsh (3-4, 3 RBI), giving the Gators an early 3-0 lead in the first.
The Gators added two more runs against Stoddard, before jumping on the Wildcats' third pitcher of the night, Stephanie Schoonover (4.0 IP, 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 5 K), who was relieved by freshman Alexia Lacatena after giving up back-to-back hits in the top of the sixth.
But Kentucky's pitching troubles continued as UF junior Skylar Wallace (1-2, 2 walks, HR) smacked a solo home run in the first at-bat Lacatena faced, expanding the Gators' lead to 9-3, which remained the score to the game's end.
"There was a period of time in there when we didn't have very good at-bats," Walton said. "We swung at pitches that were out of the zone... got a little sideways. But the good part is we also threw up zeros on the other side. I think that's the key."
Rylee Trlicek polishes off Wildcats
Florida started Thursday night's quarterfinal with its right-handed ace Elizabeth Hightower, who worked through 4.1 innings, gave up five hits, three runs and struck out one.
Of Hightower's five hits, two of them left the yard as Kentucky's Lauren Johnson (2-4, 2 RBI) shot a two-run home run into Museum Road, which tightened the score to 3-2 heading into the second inning.
"That pitch just kinda went my way," Johnson said. "Off that bat, I thought that might be the longest home run I've ever hit."
The Wildcats' second home run came off the bat of Emmy Blane (1-3, RBI) in the bottom of the second.
"Elizabeth gave us everything she had and she was just okay and she knows that," Walton said. "But man, Rylee was just legit."
Walton and the Gators relieved Hightower in the fifth inning and replaced her with junior Rylee Trlicek, who has started to emerge as a closer for Florida.
Trlicek closed out the game with a 2.2-inning outing that saw her give up two hits, no runs, walk one and strike out one.
"One of the best things that's happened to Rylee is she now has a role on this team," Walton said. "We just simplified the process and just try to find a way to create a role.
On to the next
After eliminating Kentucky, Florida will see the winner of Ole Miss-Arkansas, which got underway around 10 p.m. on Thursday night. Florida's semifinal game is slated for a 5:30 p.m. start on Friday (ESPN2). | https://www.gatorsports.com/story/more-sports/2022/05/12/florida-softball-takeaways-uf-gators-sec-tournament-win-over-kentucky-wildcats/9704431002/ | 2022-05-13T04:20:44Z | https://www.gatorsports.com/story/more-sports/2022/05/12/florida-softball-takeaways-uf-gators-sec-tournament-win-over-kentucky-wildcats/9704431002/ | true | 1 |

Taniela Tupou says he's nearing a decision on his rugby future as he weighs up a rich overseas move, but Wallabies coach Dave Rennie is confident he won't leave.
The Queensland Reds prop, carrying a calf injury that shouldn't keep him out of July's home Tests against England, has a four-year Rugby Australia contract that expires at the end of next year.
Foreign clubs are salivating for the services of the 25-year-old, who has silky hands to go with fast feet that belie his wrecking-ball frame.

But Rugby Australia want that, as well as his off-field charm and commercial pulling power, as the face of their own brand ahead of a 2027 World Cup in Australia where a 30-year-old Tupou could star.
"We're pretty positive about being able to keep Nella," Rennie told AAP on Friday.
"He's important to us and he wants to stay; we're in discussions with his agent and it's been very positive.
"He's here until end of next year and we're looking to extend him now.
"He's got a genuine point of difference (on and off the field), doesn't he, and he loves it, enjoys the interaction with fans.
"He's important to the future of the game here and we're keen to keep him."
Tupou and RA are open to a one-year sabbatical similar to that of Wallabies captain Michael Hooper's in Japan last year.
"That's one way of competing with overseas dollars," Rennie said.
"We're looking at all options that's going to make it attractive and affordable."
Tupou said only a "miracle" would see him return for the Reds' Super Rugby Pacific finals campaign and was again coy when asked what the future held beyond next season.
"Who knows what I'll do after next year; whether it's Queensland or ... Rockhampton," he said before bursting into laughter.
"I have to make the decision in the next few months, whether I'll stay here in the long run in Australia or go somewhere.
"I've been speaking to Rugby Australia, they're keen to have me around for the next few years.
"I'd love to do something like that, I'd like a break from Super Rugby so if that means Japan, rest the body and come back, but it's up to my manager."
As for the 2027 Cup?
"I feel like I'm 30 now but yeah I'll be 30 around then, hopefully still playing good footy and Dave picks me," he said.
"I'd love to play a World Cup game at Suncorp ... I know the feeling of playing in front of a full house there, you can't explain it, it's awesome."

ARLINGTON, Texas — Taylor Hearn allowed only one hit in five scoreless innings, Brad Miller homered and the Texas Rangers defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-1.
The Royals' first hit literally was off Hearn. Michael A. Taylor sent a liner up the middle off the pitcher's leg that continued to the left of second base and into left field with two out in the second inning.
Hearn walked three and struck out five.
Joe Barlow pitched a scoreless ninth, retiring Whit Merrifield on a grounder with two runners on base, for his sixth save in six opportunities. | https://www.kshb.com/sports/royals-drop-low-scoring-affair-to-rangers-3-1 | 2022-05-13T04:23:16Z | https://www.kshb.com/sports/royals-drop-low-scoring-affair-to-rangers-3-1 | false | null |

Programme promotes cooperation between RoK and Binh Dinh province
Addressing a seminar themed “Meet Korea-Binh Dinh 2022: Joining hands for development”, which opened the programme’s activities, RoK Ambassador to Vietnam Park Noh-wan said that the programme, the second of its kind held in Vietnam in 2022 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Vietnam-RoK diplomatic ties, focus on seeking measures and visions to increase diverse cooperation activities between Binh Dinh – an important locality in the south central region, and the RoK.
He said the partnership between Quy Nhon city and Yongsan district will continue to be a model of local cooperation between the two countries.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung noted that since Binh Dinh and Yongsan district of Seoul set up twin relations in 1996, the two sides have supported each other in all fields of social welfare, education-training, health care, tourism and labour, while many projects using ODA from the RoK Government are underway in Binh Dinh.
The province is currently hosting four RoK-funded investment projects worth nearly 100 million USD, he said, expressing hope that through the programme, more Korean investors will come to Binh Dinh. He pledged that the province will create optimal conditions for them during their operation to develop together.
Chairman of the People’s Committee of Binh Dinh Nguyen Phi Long said that the province is calling for RoK investment in the fields of electronic accessory production, automobile supporting industry, seaport and industrial park infrastructure construction, energy, tourism, high-tech agriculture, aquatic farming, breeding, waste treatment, trade and services.
He highlighted Binh Dinh’s strong commitments to assisting investors from the stage of forming investment ideas to the operation of their projects.
On the occasion, the Korea Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) in Ho Chi Minh City and the People's Committee of Binh Dinh signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on investment cooperation, while the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the South and Middle of Vietnam (KOCHAM) also signed a MoU on investment cooperation with Becamex IDC.
Many other activities within the programme will be held on May 13, including an exhibition of typical products of central and Central Highlands localities./. | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/programme-promotes-cooperation-between-rok-and-binh-dinh-province/228466.vnp | 2022-05-13T04:29:30Z | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/programme-promotes-cooperation-between-rok-and-binh-dinh-province/228466.vnp | true | 1 |
The father of 15-year-old Janiya Brown walked down the debris-filled alley where her body was found on Wednesday afternoon on Detroit, Michigan's west side.
"Words can't explain. My baby girl was right here," Jason Brown said. "She was forced here."
Brown's free-spirited daughter who loved lip gloss and being outdoors had been shot multiple times. Her body was found next to a black Chevrolet Malibu that was stolen Monday night.
Brown's daughter had been known to run away, perhaps some sort of effort to escape the trauma of losing her mother last year.
In 2021, Janiya's mother was murdered in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Loved ones say she'd also been shot to death in a vehicle by an estranged ex-boyfriend but managed to drive the two children who were with her to safety.
In April, Janiya's aunt brought her to Michigan to live with her in her Berkley home, hoping the distance from a bad crowd the teen was involved in would help get her on the right track.
But Janiya couldn't sit still, according to her dad. And about three days after arriving in Michigan, Janiya took a relative's phone and ran away from her aunt's house. It would be the last time she ran away.
"We want to make sure that every kid returns safe home. If they're having problems at home, we can work with those but right now, we're having to grieve the loss of a young child," said Detective Lt. Andrew Hadfield of the Berkley Police Department.
Janiya's aunt reported her missing to Berkley police and investigators put the teen's picture out on social media in hopes of getting information that would help them locate her.
The phone had been disconnected, but police said Janiya was still using WiFi to post on social media and detectives knew from the images she was posting that Janiya was with a dangerous crowd.
"There were certain posts where she was in vehicles, traveling, other people with firearms, flashing guns in front of the camera," Hadfield said.
On Wednesday, Detroit police posted a picture of an unidentified teenager that they suspected was involved in the carjacking of a black 2013 Chevy Malibu Monday night. Police said the teen was with two men who were armed.
With the public's help, investigators in Detroit and Berkley quickly realized that their young female suspect was also the child who was found shot to death near the same stolen car found in an alley off Burnette Street near Joy Road on the city's west side.
"I know she couldn't get away from these people. She didn't do this on her own," Brown said about his daughter's alleged involvement in any crimes with people he suspects she recently met on Instagram.
"She was forced to do it. She's a kid. She's a child," he continued.
Brown's now hoping for justice in his daughter's killing. He's also urging other runaways to go home.
"Just go home. Go home to your parents," he said. "It's not safe out here."

KOCHI: A woman has every right to live a life without fear, abuse and oppression. Though most women dream of living such a life, they are hardly able to do it. Identifying this need for women to be strong and defend themselves, Pink Shield, an NGO, is training women in martial arts.
Explaining the concept behind Pink Shield, Renu Navin, who handles social media and communications for the NGO, said the organisation was conceived as a tool to educate more people about kalaripayattu, especially women. “We wanted to train them young. Schools and colleges are the right places to start,” she said. Pink Shield is associated with Lubaina Kalari in Edappally. Abdul Jaleel Gurukkal and his sons are leading the campaign.
The process, however, revealed the need to train women in self-defence, she said. “For a state with a high sex ratio, very few women take martial arts training seriously in Kerala. Educating and inspiring young women became my primary agenda. This is how Pink Shield became a social awareness campaign,” said Renu.
Though Pink Shield started functioning in 2017, it officially became an NGO on December 3, 2020. “We took some time to structure the organisation and get it running. Though the whole world came to a standstill in 2020, for us, it was the year we became active. We are glad that we got accepted almost immediately. Our friends and well-wishers became the backbone of Pink Shield,” she added.
Sherin Vineed, president of Pink Shield, says she believes in baby steps. “We believe big changes start small. Our efforts will make a difference in the big run,” she added. According to her, the initiative that started as a women-oriented kalaripayattu training campaign has now matured to bring under its fold more charitable work and social contributions.
“We are now building homes for the homeless. We reached out to people affected by the 2018 flood and have been struggling to provide opportunities for uninterrupted education to tribal students during the pandemic. We donated phones and television sets to them. Pink Shield also donated essentials to orphanages,” said Sherin. “We realised we don’t have to limit ourselves to self-defence,” she said.
Captain Vineed Vincent, the brain behind the Pink Shield’s self-defence programme said, “We work to empower women and uplift them. Support from friends and well-wishers has been really helpful in the last five years.”
The NGO likes to remain transparent in its ways. “We keep our contributors updated on how their funds are used and what the progress is,” said Renu. “Under project Shakthi self-defence, we organise campaigns at workplaces, schools, colleges and residential associations. We have trained around 2,000 odd participants in self-defence techniques. We also urge them to come for the follow-up sessions,” she said.
Projects that matter
A project by Pink Shield, called ‘Akshara Help Me Grow Project’, offers financial and educational support to girl children. The candidates are mostly orphans or kids of single mothers. The NGO is also presently supporting five hearing-impaired girls in their education.
Under Tharang Gift (the joy of hearing), the NGO reaches out to children who require a hearing aid or cochlear implants. Project Thanal Build a Shelter initiative helps construct homes, shelters or buildings for women who need a safe place to stay. The NGO also provides financial help to palliative care units and individuals who cannot afford their monthly medication or other health-related expenses under the Ashraya initiative.
Pink Shield has also been providing monthly medication to a Hereditary Sensory Motor Neuropathy patient. “She is completely dependent on caregivers for daily movements and needs,” she added. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/may/12/to-aid-and-protect-2452427.html | 2022-05-13T04:49:30Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/may/12/to-aid-and-protect-2452427.html | true | 1 |
Apparently Qualcomm is ready to present the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus: according to the Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, the American chipmaker will raise the curtain even next week. The source even ventures a precise date – the May, 20th, which is next Friday, and she is pretty sure that several new smartphones equipped with the chip will be presented at the same time. Finally, the following week should be the turn of the much talked about Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, the second chip to use the new nomenclature inaugurated by Qualcomm at the end of 2021.
S8G1 + therefore represents an anomaly compared to what has been seen in recent years for a number of reasons: first and foremost it will arrive much sooner than usual and then there is more interest in it because it promises a more significant upgrade than a simple increase in operating frequencies. In fact, the foundry will change which physically takes care of producing it: from Samsung it will pass to TSMC. The production process will always remain at 4 nm, but it is rumored that TSMC’s is a little more refined and efficient; in a nutshell, the new chip should consume less power while going faster, and have fewer overheating problems.
We do not have concrete details on the efficiency rate of the TSMC process, but good news is also desirable in this sense: according to a report a few months ago, even Less than one in two chips would come out flawlessly from Samsung’s machines. This would be one of the main reasons why Qualcomm would have decided to change supplier, after several years of exclusive with Samsung (at least for the top range). It is interesting to note that at the time Qualcomm switched from TSMC to Samsung after the now famous Snapdragon 810 debacle, the subject of countless thermal throttling problems (and consequent memes and Internet catchphrases).
What remains to be clarified is the time-to-market, as recent rumors say that the production of the chip is delayed. As for smartphones, in the front row there are Xiaomi and above all Motorola, with the much talked about Frontier (whose presentation was scheduled for yesterday, even, and instead nothing has been done). As for the future, the rumors focus on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 in particular, but we expect the company to be much bigger. | https://voonze.com/snapdragon-8-gen-1-plus-could-be-announced-as-early-as-next-week/ | 2022-05-13T04:49:44Z | https://voonze.com/snapdragon-8-gen-1-plus-could-be-announced-as-early-as-next-week/ | false | 1 |

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jordan Binnington made 25 saves and the St. Louis Blues beat the Minnesota Wild 5-1 on Thursday night in Game 6 to advance to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Ryan O’Reilly, Tyler Bozak and Vladimir Tarasenko scored in a dominant second period during which the Blues outshot the Wild 22-5 and took control of the game.
Nick Leddy also scored, Colton Parayko added an empty-netter and David Perron had two assists as St. Louis won its first series since defeating the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final in 2019.
The Blues will travel to Colorado to face the Avalanche in Game 1 of the second round. The date and time had not yet been announced.
Matt Dumba scored in the third period for the Wild, who hit three posts in the game, including two in the third.
After losing Games 4 and 5 and facing a must-win, Wild coach Dean Evason started Cam Talbot over Marc-Andre Fleury in goal. Talbot, who finished the regular season on a 13-0-3 run, made 22 saves.
Leddy gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with 5:01 left in the first period. It was the first goal by a Blues defenseman in the series.
Binnington helped the Blues overcome a shaky start in the first by erasing several quality Wild chances coming off turnovers. He also got help from his post on Marcus Foligno's shot.
O’Reilly’s power-play goal gave the Blues a 2-0 lead midway through the second period. Brayden Schenn set up the one-timer from the slot with a perfect pass from behind the net.
Bozak cleaned up a rebound off Alexei Toropchenko's shot to extend St. Louis' advantage later in the second. Toropchenko created the chance by getting around Mats Zuccarello while driving to the net.
Tarasenko’s power-play goal with 1:24 left in the second made it 4-0. It was his fourth goal in the last two games.
MOVING UP
Tarasenko passed Doug Gilmour for the fourth-most postseason points in Blues franchise history with his hat trick in Game 5. Tarasenko (57 points) is one point shy of tying Al MacInnis for third.
FACE IN THE CROWD
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright attended the game and participated in the pregame hype by beating on a large drum and leading the crowd in a “Let’s Go Blues” chant. Fellow Cardinals Steven Matz, Paul Goldschmidt, Harrison Bader and Giovanny Gallegos and manager Oliver Marmol also attended the game.

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has floated the idea of switching Cameron Munster to fullback should the team struggle to adjust to life without injured star Ryan Papenhuyzen.
The Storm have named Nick Meaney at fullback for Saturday’s top of the ladder showdown with the Penrith Panthers, but Bellamy hinted he had other plans involving Munster, or utility back Tyran Wishart, should Meaney struggle to move back to the position after spending the bulk of this season on the wing.
Munster broke into the Storm side as a tearaway fullback when Billy Slater was injured for part of 2015 and most of 2016, before moving to five-eighth when Slater returned.
The Queensland playmaker has been arguably the NRL’s best player over the opening 10 rounds of the season, following a turbulent off-season where he was sent to a rehabilitation facility and returned fit and clear of mind.
Meaney trained at fullback during the pre-season and has played the role earlier in his career, so perhaps Bellamy is playing mind games with the Panthers. But Munster making runs from fullback could be a difficult cover for Penrith’s stingy defence.
“There are a couple of players who trained a fullback [during pre-season] because Paps missed a whole heap of time,” Bellamy said on Friday.
“We will just see how it goes tomorrow [Saturday]. If we have to make a couple of changes as we go then we have a couple of really versatile guys there.
“Munster has played there and we have practised a couple of options this week, and it’s nice to have two or three guys who have played several different positions.”
Bellamy said Munster had made a couple of short cameos at fullback this season when Papenhuyzen was off the field.
“He’s gone there a couple of times this year,” Bellamy said.
“We will start a certain way but if that is not quite working out we can make some changes but, hopefully, what we have done this week will let it come together OK.”
Experienced outside back Marion Seve will come into the centres for the injured Reimis Smith and Bellamy said his form in the Queensland Cup was “outstanding”, which should allow him to handle the role.
The Storm are also considering bringing Fijian prop Tui Kamikamica into the side for his first game this season after he was put on the NRL’s no-fault stand-down after being charged with assault for an off-season incident in Queensland in November.
Those charges were dropped last month but the NRL integrity unit fined the prop $10,000, with $5000 suspended, and suspended him for nine games but considered the eight rounds he missed as part of that ban.
He has played one game in the Queensland Cup but Bellamy said the prop had trained so well throughout this season that he could still play a role off the bench.
“We wanted to add him to the squad and we will see where they takes us,” Bellamy said.
“He is a chance to play for us. It’s been a tough period for him.
“Usually you see guys who get in that situation, they can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but Tui has believed the whole time that he is at the end of the tunnel and his attitude has been great.
“When he does get back into first grade, he will be as well-prepared as he can be.”
The Storm play Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday at 7.45pm AEST with Channel Nine to show the game live in Melbourne on its main channel. | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/nrl/mind-games-or-tactical-genius-could-bellamy-swing-munster-to-fullback-for-top-two-showdown-20220511-p5akcz.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport_nrl | 2022-05-13T05:06:15Z | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/nrl/mind-games-or-tactical-genius-could-bellamy-swing-munster-to-fullback-for-top-two-showdown-20220511-p5akcz.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport_nrl | false | 10 |

Empty, but Soon Not
The kids have enjoyed this room for gymnastics practice and imagining, but I think it's time to start filling it. It has been re-painted and our furniture comes soon, much to their chagrin.

South African jazz seems to be having another international moment. Recently, for example, the Blue Note jazz label launched a new imprint, Blue Note Africa dedicated to the continent's music. Its first release - and his second for the label - will be South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini's In the Spirit of Ntu. In the same month, Jazz at Lincoln Centre hosted a South African season.
Even the UK's annual BBC Proms this year will dedicate a night to The South African Songbook, with trumpeter Marcus Wyatt conducting the international Metropole Orkest and the voices of South African vocalist Siyabonga Mthembu and Zimbabwe-born UK singer/songwriter ESKA.
Of course, such exposure is not unprecedented. South African painter Gerard Sekoto was playing jazz in Paris bars in the late 1940s. The international careers of Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim and Hugh Masekela are only the best known of a raft of musicians who sought exile from apartheid. The South African band Blue Notes were massively influential on European jazz scenes from the 1960s onwards.
There are risks in being "fashionable" - not least that straitjackets of international audience perception may be created about what "South African jazz" is. Many of today's international showcases have a nostalgic focus on the greats of the past such as Makeba and Masekela. However, multiple legacies inform the sound of South African jazz and contribute to the rich lexicon from which it can draw. But none of them defines it.
Today, South African jazz speaks in multiple, diverse voices. Its internationalism, thankfully, is no longer driven by hideous repression at home and, in the digital age, doesn't always even require physical journeys. One example (and there are many) is the new album Finish the Sun from the group Mabuta, led by bassist Shane Cooper.
Finish the Sun is only the latest demonstration of how South African jazz simultaneously looks inwards and outwards and communicates with listeners and fellow-players everywhere.
Finish the Sun
Mabuta takes its name for the Japanese word for "eyelid", opening a door between the conscious and the unconscious. Liminality - crossing borders and the interrogation of boundaries - was on Mabuta's agenda from its first release Welcome to this World (2018). Cooper himself is a bassist who also skips the border into electronic club music; the 2018 personnel was all-South African, with the addition of UK saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings.
On this 2022 outing, South Africans Cooper (on guitars and synths as well as bass), keyboard player Bokani Dyer, trumpeter Robin Fassie and reedmen Buddy Wells and Sisonke Xonti work with guest drummers from Switzerland (Julian Sartorius, Arthur Hnatek and Mario Hänni); Sweden (Christopher Castillo); the Netherlands (Jamie Peet); Lungile Maduna (South Africa); and Andre Toungamani (Senegal), some recorded at a distance.
Like its predecessor, Finish the Sun is "a bassist's album but not a bass album". Cooper created all the compositions but the instrumental solos come from everybody - although the track Spirit Animal is quintessential Cooper. It is never clear whether he is the bass's spirit animal or it is his. His concept sounds as much through his guitar and through his use of effects and washes. These shape the mood of the eight tracks, sometimes creating a feel that irresistibly invokes a time or place.
The album employs markers of national identity in surprising and often subtle ways so it speaks fluently across all musical borders. Nevertheless, it does draw deep from our lexicon.
The first two numbers, the title track and Where the Heart Is, are where South Africa speaks most explicitly. The title words can't help recalling the classic song Lakutshon' Ilanga (When the sun sets, I'll remember you). Here, the album notes say, it alludes to "the energy (that) was felt by all the musicians in a way that sounds as though we were in the same room after finishing some sun together". It's a fast, cyclical, galloping Eastern Cape sound, but layering modernity and tradition in its juxtapositions of electronic and instrumental voices. Where the Heart Is maintains the pace, with a classic South African bass line, call and response and chorusing behind the solos; it can't wait to get home.
By contrast, Umshana carries a vibe of South Africa's Afro-Soul era, with Xonti's solo chanelling the spirit of saxophonist Basil Manenberg Coetzee, while Kucheza has Dyer's organ reminding us of Black Moses and the Soul Brothers, and Cooper's bass recalling bassist Bakithi Khumalo. None of these are obvious copycat quotes. Rather, the musicians are using a pinch of this and a dash of that to magick up some time-travel to where South Africans will recognise the scenery.
But if you're in a club in Basel, you can just relish Umshana's gorgeous rhythmic complexity or Kucheza's chiming, joyful guitar and keys: you don't have to have been where we've been. Nor do you need to know Johannesburg to recognise the moody urban vibe of Joburg Poem; Cantillo's Swedish drums perfectly catch its feel.
Rather than retreating behind idiomatic musical borders, or spending energy explicitly fighting them, Mabuta simply make them irrelevant.
In many ways, that is the essential legacy of South African jazz on its international journeys from the 1940s onwards. And that, rather than any externally-curated definition, from however prestigious a platform, is what continues to keep the music vibrantly breathing and growing.

ActionSA cries foul after bail granted to 26 of 27 'passport syndicate' suspects
Two Krugersdorp home affairs officials among suspects bust in March 'making SA passports'
Twenty-six suspects who are among a group of 27 arrested for their alleged involvement in a syndicate selling fraudulent passports and documents reserved for SA citizens have been granted R2,000 bail each.
The Krugersdorp magistrate's court on Thursday granted them bail, while accused one, a Pakistani who allegedly entered SA illegally and obtained his asylum fraudulently, was denied bail as he was deemed to be a flight risk. His asylum status was revoked.
The accused were charged with corruption in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act.
TimesLIVE reported that two home affairs officials from the Krugersdorp office are among the suspects.
ActionSA president Herman Mashaba, who has campaigned vigorously for stronger action to be taken by the government against foreigners in the country illegally, said: “ActionSA regrets the outcome of the bail application hearing of the 27 people accused of allegedly being involved in the passport fraud syndicate.
“The syndicate, which includes Pakistani foreign nationals as well as allegedly corrupt South African home affairs officials, are facing multiple charges of corruption, being in possession of suspected fraudulent documents and contravening the Immigration Act.”
While respecting the court's decision to grant bail, ActionSA “stands by its previous assertion that all of them should be kept behind bars”.
Mashaba said illegal immigration has had a negative affect on society. “Xenophobic violence has become a serious problem, where civilians have given up on law enforcement’s ability to handle this matter.
“We will continue to keep our eye on this case and hope that if found guilty, an example will be made of the syndicate because to do otherwise would only serve to further undermine the rule of law and sovereignty of our country,” he said.
The group was arrested in a sting operation at the offices of the Krugersdorp department of home affairs in the early hours of March 25.
This was after law-enforcement authorities received a tip-off about an alleged passport-making syndicate that worked with home affairs officials to identify South Africans willing to sell their identities for R500. The South Africans' details would then be used to produce a passport for foreigners which would be sold for R40,000 each.
The trial date has been set for July 5.

The term “token” appeared during the development of the Ethereum network. Over the years of the existence of digital assets, this word has become universal. Different tokens are combined into groups that differ in several ways. There are three main types of tokens – security, utility, and NFT. Each of them has its own characteristics, and these features need to be understood before issuing or buying any kind of token. Stobox has more than four years of experience in tokenizing assets for clients, and today will tell you the difference between the three types of tokens.
Utility tokens
These are tokens whose holders can receive a useful advantage (or several advantages) on a certain platform. Such tokens can be compared to chips in a casino, tokens in an online game, or vouchers. They can be earned and used in accordance with the rules of the platform.
It is important to know that a utility token is a token that is only a tool for a particular platform but does not reflect the company’s shares. The value of such digital assets fluctuates based on supply and demand. This type of token can only work in the form of bonuses or a certain reward. For example, such tokens can be used instead of cash to pay for goods or services. There are two options – direct payment or receiving certain discounts.
The utility token is the most popular type of token right now. It is also widely used on cryptocurrency exchanges. With such assets, you can receive discounts on trading commissions and use various functions of trading platforms. Also, utility tokens have another important advantage – they can be freely traded. There are no significant restrictions here.
Security tokens
Security tokens, also known as ownership tokens, are de facto digital securities. For example, they can be stocks or bonds that are listed on the blockchain. Blockchain does not allow changing or deleting information, so it has become a reliable solution for storing tokenized assets.
Security tokens are most often used by private firms that do not trade stocks on exchanges. Previously, such companies could only receive funding from banks, venture capital funds, or private investors with very large capital exceeding $1,000,000. The tokenization technology allowed such companies to find new funding sources, which is exactly the area in which Stobox works, helping its clients launch STOs (security token offerings).
Security tokens provide higher returns than traditional stocks available for public companies. A study by McKinsey Private Equity Research showed that over the past 10 years, the growth of private markets had exceeded the growth of public ones by 50%.
The key difference between a security token and a utility token is pricing. The price of security tokens is determined by the value of the pegged asset or company. Another important difference is in regulation. Utility tokens are subject to countries’ laws on cryptocurrencies; in many states, there are still no such laws, or they are imperfect. Security tokens are regulated like traditional securities, according to the principle of the Howey test. That is, state regulators of stock markets take controlling measures. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates security tokens in the US.
What is the Howey test?
The Howey test determines whether a transaction is an “investment contract” under US law. If yes, it is recognized as a security and is subject to the relevant laws. Conducting such a test is the prerogative of the SEC. If the Commission decides that the token is a security, then it will be officially regulated. However, there are also important legal nuances. In particular, if the token is considered a security, the issuer will be required to file an application for registration with the SEC and comply with all its requirements.
Due to the peculiarities of regulation in the USA, an interesting situation arises with utility tokens. The Howey test is broadly worded, and many utility tokens fall under its scope. In 2018, the head of the SEC, Jay Clayton, said that all the ICOs he saw could be attributed to the issuance of securities. Because of this, there is an additional risk since the SEC may consider such assets as securities and oblige utility token issuers to register and comply with the relevant requirements. Failure to comply will result in serious consequences.
NFT
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are a relatively new type of tokens. They are collectible digital assets. NFTs are issued either in a single copy or in a small group making a specific collection. A variety of information can be encrypted in the NFT, for example:
- Texts.
- Drawings.
- Images.
- GIF animations.
- Video.
- Music.
- Domain addresses, etc.
NFT is a unique token that another digital asset cannot replace. For example, if you take two utility tokens from one platform or two security tokens in which securities of the same type and denomination are encrypted, they can easily be replaced with each other. Each NFT token is unique, pegged to a unique object, and there is no other like it. Therefore, they are of exceptional value.
The main function of the NFT is to preserve ownership. Artists, musicians, and authors may sell ownership of the art piece but retain intellectual property rights.
NFTs are also widely used by many companies as digital souvenirs to promote their brand. With their help, companies can influence their image and increase awareness. You can also create corporate NFTs, for example, giving them to employees for certain achievements.
Which tokens are best for raising capital?
Choosing the right option depends on the type of your business. For example, if it is a private company that needs funding but doesn’t want or can’t go public, security tokens are the best option. They are similar to securities, but their issuance is easier. Such tokens can be sold to private investors, which results in receiving the necessary funds.
Utility tokens are another way to raise funds for blockchain projects. Such tokens may also have the potential for valuation, and the issuance of these assets allows you to raise funds actually through the pre-sale of certain works or services. However, the utility token has been losing popularity in recent years, and ICO (Initial Coin Offering) attracts less and less interest every year. However, both types of tokens can be used simultaneously in a blockchain project. If you doubt what type of token you should issue, Stobox will be happy to advise you.
Summary
Security tokens, utility tokens, and NFTs are the three most popular types of tokens, and each has its own characteristics. Each type of token can be used to raise investments; however, there is a difference in legal nuances as well as in fungibility. Utility tokens are gradually losing their popularity, as they may fall under the definition of securities by the SEC. Security tokens are the digital equivalent of conventional securities and are also subject to regulatory scrutiny, but this also provides a higher level of safety for investors. NFT has traditionally been more about the art world and allows you to own the rights to some unique object, hoping that in the future, it will increase in price. Which tokens to issue depends on your type of business and jurisdiction, and here you can not do without detailed advice, which Stobox provides. | https://techstory.in/what-is-the-difference-between-security-tokens-utility-tokens-and-nft/ | 2022-05-13T05:52:15Z | https://techstory.in/what-is-the-difference-between-security-tokens-utility-tokens-and-nft/ | false | 1 |

Russian soldier to go on trial in first war-crimes case
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian soldier is scheduled to go on trial Friday in the killing of an unarmed Ukrainian civilian, marking the first time since the start of the invasion that a member of the Russian military will be prosecuted for a war crime.
Sgt. Vadim Shyshimarin stands accused of shooting the 62-year-old man in the head through an open car window in the northeastern village of Chupakhivka. He faces up to life in prison under the penalties spelled out in the section of the Ukrainian criminal code that addresses the laws and customs of war.
Shyshimarin’s attorney, Victor Ovsyanikov, acknowledged that the case against him is strong, but said the final decision over what evidence to allow will be made by the court in Kyiv. Ovsyanikov said Thursday that he and his client had not yet decided how he will plead.
Shyshimarin, a 21-year-old captured member of a tank unit, goes on trial as Ukraine’s top prosecutor conducts an ever-growing number of investigations into allegations that Russian troops killed, tortured and abused Ukrainian civilians.
Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova’s office has said it is looking into more than 10,700 potential war crimes involving more than 600 suspects, including Russian soldiers and government officials.
Many of the alleged atrocities came to light last month after Moscow’s forces ended their bid to capture Kyiv and withdrew from around the capital, exposing mass graves and streets and yards strewn with bodies in towns such as Bucha.
As the inaugural war-crimes case in Ukraine, Shyshimarin’s prosecution is being watched closely.
Volodymyr Yavorskyy, coordinator at the Center for Civil Liberties in Kyiv, one of Ukraine’s largest human rights groups, said activists will monitor the Russian soldier’s trial to ensure that his legal rights are protected. It can be difficult, he said, to maintain the neutrality of court proceedings during wartime.
The observance of the trial’s rules and norms “will determine how similar cases will be handled in the future,” Yavorskyy said.
Vadim Karasev, an independent Kyiv-based political analyst, said it’s important for Ukrainian authorities “to demonstrate that the war crimes will be solved and those responsible will be brought to justice in line with international standards.”
Over the past week, Venediktova, her office and the Security Service of Ukraine, the country’s law enforcement agency, have posted a few details from the investigation into Shyshimarin’s actions on their social media accounts.
On Feb. 28, four days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Shyshimarin was among a group of Russian troops that had been defeated by Ukrainian forces, according to Venediktova’s account. As the Russians fled, they fired at a private car and seized the vehicle. They then drove to Chupahivka, a village in the Sumy region about 200 miles east of Kyiv.
On the way, Venediktova said, the Russian soldiers saw a man walking on the sidewalk and talking on his phone. Shyshimarin was ordered to kill the man so he wouldn’t be able to report them to Ukrainian military authorities. She does not identify who gave the order.
Shyshimarin fired his Kalashnikov rifle through the open window and hit the victim in the head.
“The man died on the spot just a few dozen meters from his house,” Venediktova wrote.
The Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, posted a short video on May 4 of Shyshimarin speaking in front of camera and briefly describing how he shot the man. The SBU described the video as “one of the first confessions of the enemy invaders.”
“I was ordered to shoot,” said Shyshimarin, wearing a blue and gray hooded sweatshirt. “I shot one (round) at him. He falls. And we kept on going.”

To the Super Bowl winner goes the spoils of opening the entire schedule at home.
So the Los Angeles Rams will host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, Sept. 8, to begin the 2022 season.
It’s a juicy matchup of the team generally considered the title favorite by oddsmakers in the Bills traveling to SoFi Stadium, where the Rams won the championship over Cincinnati in February.
The Bengals are home to their division rivals, the Steelers, on Sunday, Sept. 11 when all but two other teams get started. Those two clubs playing on Monday night also offer an enticing storyline: Russell Wilson bringing his Broncos to Seattle. The Seahawks traded their longtime quarterback to Denver in the offseason.
Sunday’s prime-time game features Tom Brady — unless he retires again before September — and the Buccaneers at Dallas. Brady’s decision to unretire after a short hiatus forced NFL schedule makers to scramble and redo some of the game slots.
The Cowboys visited the Buccaneers to open last season.
The rest of the opening Sunday has some eye-opening matches, such as Jacksonville, with new coach Doug Pederson, at Washington, with new quarterback Carson Wentz. Pederson coached Wentz in Philadelphia and won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, although Nick Foles was behind center with Wentz injured.
Several key division matchups are on tap for Sept. 11: New Orleans at Atlanta, Indianapolis at Houston, New England at Miami, Las Vegas at the Los Angeles Chargers and Green Bay at Minnesota.
“Expecting to have an unbelievable crowd there,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell told the Vikings’ website. “I’ve talked a lot about being on that visitor’s sideline, so I know what the Packers will be in store for on opening weekend. I expect to see a stadium full of purple. It’s a great opportunity for us and a challenge.
“What a way to start your season — a challenge but also a great way to kick-start what is hopefully going to be a great 2022.”
Also, it will be Cleveland at Carolina, San Francisco at Chicago, Philadelphia at Detroit, Baltimore at the New York Jets, Kansas City at Arizona, and the New York Giants at Tennessee.
Teams that will open on the road and will be home in Week 2 include Kansas City hosting the Chargers in the first Amazon Prime Video game on Thursday night. Also, it will be Miami at Baltimore, the New York Jets at Cleveland, Indianapolis at Jacksonville, Tampa Bay at New Orleans, Carolina at the New York Giants, New England at Pittsburgh, Seattle at San Francisco, Houston at Denver, Arizona at Las Vegas, Chicago at Green Bay at night, Tennessee at Buffalo on Monday night, followed by Minnesota at Philadelphia.
Finally playing at home in Week 3 will be Indianapolis against Kansas City, Minnesota against Detroit, New England vs. Baltimore, and Tampa Bay vs. Green Bay, with Brady facing Aaron Rodgers.
Previously revealed was that one of the Christmas Day tripleheader games, Denver at the Rams, will be televised by Nickelodeon as well as CBS. Slime, anyone? The other Christmas games are Green Bay at Miami in the 1 p.m. slot, then Tampa Bay at Arizona at night.
Christmas Eve will also have a contest, with the Raiders at the Steelers.
The traditional Thanksgiving games will have Detroit hosting Buffalo, Dallas at home for the Giants, and New England at Minnesota at night.
More holiday fare: 14 games on New Year’s Day, which will force some bowl games to adjust away from Jan. 1. The likely top matchups to begin 2023 include San Francisco at Las Vegas, Miami at New England, and Denver at Kansas City.
Also previously announced were the international games:
—Nov. 13, the first regular-season NFL game in Germany, Tampa Bay vs. Seattle in Munich.
—Oct. 9, Green Bay becomes the final team to play in Europe, facing the Giants at the home of Premier League soccer team Tottenham in London. The previous week, Minnesota plays New Orleans there.
—Oct. 30, Wembley Stadium will host the Broncos against the Jaguars.
—Nov. 21, San Francisco and Arizona at Mexico City.
Week 15 has a tripleheader on Saturday, Dec. 17, though which of five matches will be switched from Sunday won’t be decided until closer to that weekend. The possibilities are Miami at Buffalo, Baltimore at Cleveland, Indianapolis at Minnesota, Atlanta at New Orleans, and the Giants at Washington.
The final weekend, Jan. 7-8, 2023 — all intra-division matchups — will also have two games moved to Saturday. Those will be determined early in Week 18.
“For months, we’ve known who we’re playing and where,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said, “but to see how it unfolds, where our bye week is and where our division opponents are is fun for our coaches. That first opponent is something you look at so you can start to work on their coordinators, understand what they’ve done and try and get a head start on that game.”
Only one franchise is not set for prime time: Detroit. But the league’s flex schedule could change that if the Lions show significant improvement.
In contrast, the Rams, Packers, Bucs, Broncos, Eagles, Cowboys, Chargers, Chiefs, Steelers, 49ers, Patriots and Bengals each have five night games.
Oddly, the AFC champion Bengals face all three division foes (Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh) on the road in prime time. Las Vegas has three straight night games in December.
Nine teams will enjoy three-game homestands: the Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Lions, Vikings, Panthers, Buccaneers, Rams and 49ers. Four must endure three-game road trips: Kansas City, Miami, Green Bay and Philadelphia.
Byes begin in Week 6.
Two notable anniversaries:
—Sunday night in Week 7 has the Dolphins home for the Steelers and Miami will honor the 50th anniversary of the undefeated 1972 season: 17-0, including a victory over Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game.
—In Week 16, the Steelers host the Raiders, 50 years after the “Immaculate Reception” during the AFC divisional playoffs. Pittsburgh lost to Miami the next week.
Fox will not televise World Cup matches from Qatar on Nov. 27 and Dec. 4 in favor of NFL games. The World Cup final at 10 a.m. EST on Dec. 18 will be followed on Fox at 1 p.m. by split coverage of Lions-Jets and Cowboys-Jaguars, and at 4:05 p.m. by Cardinals-Broncos. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/05/12/sports/sports-breaking/rams-to-host-bills-to-open-nfl-season-broncos-at-seattle/ | 2022-05-13T06:16:01Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/05/12/sports/sports-breaking/rams-to-host-bills-to-open-nfl-season-broncos-at-seattle/ | true | 47 |
Catholic
Daughters hold
education awardsMore than one-hundred parents, students and teachers from St. Albert Catholic Schools joined members of Catholic Daughters of the Americas Court St. Anthony #330 in Council Bluffs for their annual Education Contest Awards Dinner.
Originally scheduled in the St. Albert Cafeteria on March 7, 2022, the weather closed schools. Such a joyous and important event could not be denied, so the court held the Awards Dinner on their monthly meeting date of March 28th in the social hall of St. Patrick Church in Council Bluffs.
The student winners in attendance presented their creations in Essay, Poetry, Photography, Art and Computer Art, in three grade level divisions. They also received certificates and gifts that were purchased in Italy and blessed by Rev. Chris Barak, who himself is a 1977 graduate of St. Albert Catholic Schools.
The emcee for the event was Jen Brown, from Spirit Catholic Radio, KVSS, 107.2, who generously gives us her time each year. The court gave Brown a $100 donation for her Catholic Spirit Radio station. The court presented a $400 scholarship to Jonathan Quigley, Director of Development at St. Albert, for the advancement of 8th graders entering their Catholic high school years.

The dinner included pizzas from Pizza King, supplemented by bread knots, salads, desserts and drinks. It is always such a heartwarming celebration with students expressing their beautiful thoughts. This year’s C.D.A. Education Contest theme was; ”With God All Things are Possible.”

His opening speech to parliament's first 'ordinary' session of 2022 is his final duty of his mandate which will end in July.
" In my observation during my five-year term as a Head of State, judiciary in Vanuatu under the leadership of Chief Justice has played an important role in stability, growth and progress of the nation for it uniqueness of it its independency," he said.
"To cherish the stages of the third pillar of the constitution, I urge the government to carefully consider its decision to abolish the Ministry of Justice.
"It is important that the government maintain the Ministry of Justice. Without the judiciary, there will no effective work from the government and there will be no prosecution. The work of the Vanuatu Police force will have no bases and there will be dictatorial system in place," he said.
In his speech, Tallis also praised the country's frontline workers for their hard work during the community outbreak of Covid-19.
He said frontline workers risked their lives and their families by being exposed to the virus.
He also hailed their efforts in challenging disinformation about the Omicron variant.
Mr Tallis said the hard work of the frontline workers has contributed to stabilising the outbreak in the affected provinces.
Meanwhile, Vanuatu's Ministry of Health reports 37 new cases of Covid-19.
Mr Tallis told parliament Vanuatu had gone through several challenges because of the Covid pandemic.
He acknowledged the tourism sector for its contribution to the recovery of Vanuatu's economy.
"Tourism has contributed a lot to economic growth but the only problem is that it is a fragile industry and cannot sustain us during total border restrictions which restricted the mobility and the movement of the tourists.
"We experienced a high rate of unemployment with the closure of hotels and caused financial difficulties of the family.
"The other reason why I am saying that tourism is a fragile industry is the ongoing climate change impact across the globe which could affect this industry. In my humble view, I want to see government to invest more in vibrant industry such as agriculture, fisheries and utilizing the natural resources in land and marine," Tallis said.
He acknowledged government initiatives to redirect its focus in agriculture sector and the programme of coconut replanting and cattle restocking and the establishment of the connection of the cooperative to the local farmers in order to participate effectively in the country's economic growth.
The Prime Minister, Bob Loughman, and the Leader of the opposition, Ralph Regenvanu, both thanked Mr Tallis for his role as Head of State during his five years mandate.

IPL 2022, RCB predicted XI vs PBKS: Focus on Kohli amid poor show; Will Bangalore alter batting order in playoff quest?
- IPL 2022: A win against Punjab Kings will take Royal Challengers Bangalore to 16 points in the league standings.
A resurgent Royal Challengers Bangalore camp will look to dominate Punjab Kings, who have been marred with inconsistency this season. Bangalore too have blown hot and cold but they have found momentum in the business end of the tournament. In search of an elusive IPL title, the Faf du Plessis-led side has put up complete performances in their last two games. The form of star batter Virat Kohli remains a concern but the perennial underachievers have checked all boxes, with their bowlers firing in unison. Follow IPL 2022 Coverage
Wanindu Hasaranga is among the leading wicket-takers in the tournament with 21 scalps including a five-wicket haul, while Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel have clicked as well. Hasaranga in the last game returned figures of 5-18 to dismantle Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hazlewood also plucked two wickets including the Sunrisers' top-scorer Rahul Tripathi for 58.
On the batting front, Du Plessis hit an unbeaten 73 and in-form Dinesh Karthik smashed an eight-ball 30 to finish with a flourish as he hit three sixes and a boundary in the 20th over. The veteran keeper-batter's presence has been a crucial factor behind the success of Bangalore this year. Rajat Patidar, who looked confident in the previous game to hit 48, will also look to continue the momentum.
A win against Punjab Kings will take Bangalore to 16 points but 18 seems to be a safe number for a playoff spot. Kohli at the top will look to find his lost mojo, having amassed only 216 runs in 12 innings which include three golden ducks too. During the current IPL season, he has managed to score a half-century once and the mercurial player will be itching to get back his run-scoring spree before the playoffs. His miserable batting stretch has been a hot topic of debate in the cricketing fraternity.
Ahead of the game against Punjab Kings, take a look at the Royal Challengers Bangalore's probable XI
Openers: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis
Top and middle-order: Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror
Power hitter: Dinesh Karthik
Spin options: Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga
Pacers: Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood
RCB Predicted XI vs PBKS: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Mahipal Lomror, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood
Changes in the XI: While Kohli's form remains a huge concern for Bangalore, they are unlikely to make any changes to their eleven. Skipper Faf du Plessis said after their game against Hyderabad that Bangalore are trying to get better as a team. Bangalore perhaps figured out their best combination in the playoffs race. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/ipl-2022-rcb-predicted-xi-vs-pbks-focus-on-virat-kohli-amid-poor-show-will-bangalore-alter-batting-order-in-playoff-quest-101652349344717.html | 2022-05-13T06:33:39Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/ipl-2022-rcb-predicted-xi-vs-pbks-focus-on-virat-kohli-amid-poor-show-will-bangalore-alter-batting-order-in-playoff-quest-101652349344717.html | true | 2 |

Lappi to take over Ogier Toyota for WRC Sardinia
Esapekka Lappi will take over Toyota's third World Rally Championship entry at Sardinia from Sebastien Ogier as the eight-time world champion continues to evaluate his part-time plans.
Toyota has announced Lappi will rejoin the marque at the Italian gravel event (2-5 June) after the Finn moved aside for Ogier to contest next week's Rally Portugal.
Ogier's is yet to firm up his part-time WRC schedule that will dovetail around the Frenchman's plans to compete in the World Endurance Championship this season for LMP2 squad Richard Mille Racing.
It is widely expected Lappi will contest the majority of the 13-round WRC campaign having already participated in Sweden and Croatia after watching Ogier finish second to Sebastien Loeb at the Monte Carlo season opener in January.
Ogier signalled at the start of the year that he would contest as many as five rallies this year, but Sardinia won't be part of his plans as the event collides with his Le Mans 24 Hours test day commitments.
The Frenchman also won't be able to compete at the Acropolis in September and the season ending trip to Japan due to clashes with WEC.
"At the moment the only thing I can say is the next one after Portugal won't be in the calendar for me also as it clash with the Le Mans," said Ogier.

"The Sunday of Sardinia you need to be at Le Mans in the car for the mandatory test day. This one also cannot fit, but after that there will be some open discussions with the team.
"The plan is to do five rallies for me this year and it should definitely stay around that but we will prefer to keep it a bit open for the me and the team to see how things are going and exactly which one will be nominated for me and Esapekka."
While plans for the Lappi/Ogier car for the remainder of the year are yet to be resolved, Toyota could be in a position to add a fifth car to its fleet later in the year that theoretically could see both Lappi and Ogier compete at the same events.

Norwegian Air posts Q1 loss, says high fuel cost to impact recovery
OSLO, May 13 (Reuters) - Norwegian Air NAS.OL on Friday posted a loss for the first quarter and said rising fuel costs will partly offset the positive effects of increased bookings for the upcoming summer season.
The budget carrier booked a net loss of 1.0 billion Norwegian crowns ($101.82 million) for the January-March period, which was hit by lockdowns related to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
In the same quarter of 2021 the company's loss stood at 1.2 billion crowns.

Nearly 200 concerned residents voiced their concerns during a town hall meeting held Wednesday. It was hosted by the Menifee Police Department, and attended by several members of the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.
"We have great grandchildren come to our house and I don't fill one bit safe about this situation," said resident Diane Fisher, who lives four doors away from the 1,300-square-foot home where Lawrence Phillip Moff, 68, would be placed. "Something desperately needs to be done."
Moff was originally convicted in 1978 of child molestation in Los Angeles County. According to Menifee Police, Moff molested two young boys who he befriended at his church.
After being serving his sentence and being released from prison, Moff was convicted of another sex crime in 1998 after molesting a 9-year old boy who he also met at church. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison for that offense.
Since being released from prison, Moff has been at Coalinga State Hospital. Based on a recommendation of a doctor at the facility, a Riverside County Superior Court judge has ordered his release into the community.
According to the California Department of State Hospitals, he is to now begin "outpatient treatment and supervision."
The operator of Sarah's Good Life in Sun City has agreed to take him into the assisted living facility operated inside a home in a residential neighborhood.
It's a move that's opposed by Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin.
"The individual should not be released into this community," said Hestrin. "We believe that. And apparently you all believe that."
However, at least one member of the audience at the town hall meeting was in support of Moff's placement inside the home: the facility's operator, Thomas Uata.
"Our job is not to pass judgement on any patient or any resident," said Uata. "Our job is just to provide care, that's all we do."
His comments were met with hostility in the crowd -- with many residents immediately booing his presence. Some questioned whether he could have turned down the placement, and whether his decision to accept it was based on financial incentive.
"How much money to you get to take in a violent offender?" asked resident Sabrina Spady.
Uata did not respond to her question.
When an Eyewitness News reporter approached Uata to ask how much money he stood to gain from Moff's placement in his facility, he responded by saying "It would be totally inappropriate to discuss anything like that."
Riverside County DA Mike Hestrin is encouraging concerned residents to file an affidavit with their office.

Pulaski County Government is in need of a new leader at one of their highest-profile departments.
Aaron Ross departed from the 911 Dispatch/Emergency Operations Center in late April.
"He decided to take a better career opportunity working in his family business," Pulaski County Judge-Executive Steve Kelley said Wednesday. "He was instrumental in opening our Emergency Operations Center, and orchestrating the move to our new 911 call center. It is unfortunate for our county to lose him, but I always want our employees to do what is best for them and their families."
Ross wore several hats for the county -- starting in 2015 with his role as director of the 911 Dispatch Center.
Then in October 2019, Pulaski County Fiscal Court instituted a county police force and appointed Ross to serve as its chief. At the time, the administration explained that it wasn't their intention expand into law enforcement. Rather, the county needed to comply with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's request that local access to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database be controlled through one law enforcement agency.
Prior to the change, the database had been overseen locally by a board with representatives from all local law enforcement agencies, With Ross having undergone law enforcement training in Ohio, he could continue to lead the 911 center without having to turn operations over to another agency.
Shortly thereafter, Ross assumed the role of Emergency Management Director as the county was launching its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to streamline emergency communications and response. In addition to being heavily involved with the county's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ross oversaw the move of a combined 911 Dispatch/EOC from the old 911 headquarters off Ky. 914 to renovated facilities at the Hal Rogers Fire Training Center.
That move was completed in February of this year.
Ross told the Commonwealth Journal Thursday that his new opportunity was one he "just could not pass up.
"I loved my time with Pulaski County and could not thank Judge Kelley and Deputy Judge [Dan] Price enough for all the opportunities they presented to me during my time," he said.
When asked if anyone had been named as an interim director, Judge Kelley said that he and Price are working closely with the department for the time being.
"I'll name someone after the election," added Judge Kelley, who is running for his third term against fellow Republicans Marshall Todd and Shirlene Epperson Taylor.
Kentucky's Primary is next Tuesday. With no Democrats in the race for County Judge-Executive, the primary results should decide that office -- barring the entrance of a write-in candidate in the November 8 General Election. | https://www.somerset-kentucky.com/news/local_news/county-in-need-of-new-911-eoc-director/article_8ade107b-d654-594b-a7ae-d267506b7721.html | 2022-05-13T06:42:08Z | https://www.somerset-kentucky.com/news/local_news/county-in-need-of-new-911-eoc-director/article_8ade107b-d654-594b-a7ae-d267506b7721.html | false | 1 |
Understand the impact of the Ukraine conflict from a cross-sector perspective with the Global Data Executive Briefing: Ukraine Conflict
Sberbank has been approached by investors from several nations for its Kazakhstan subsidiary as sanctions keep mounting on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
“Sberbank is considering various options. We are actually receiving offers to purchase our subsidiary bank in Kazakhstan and see interest from investors from different countries – from Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as China, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates,” the bank told news agency TASS.
The Kazakhstan -based bank is “in excellent condition in terms of loan portfolio quality, reserves, capital, and efficiency,” it added.
Earlier, the US imposed full blocking sanctions on Sberbank and Alfa-Bank as well as their subsidiaries including the one in Kazakhstan.
Details about the valuation of assets up for sale have not been made public by the Russian banking giant.
Last month, Sberbank reached an agreement with Kazakhstan-based Halyk Bank to divest loans worth $737.06m issued by its local subsidiary.
In a separate development last week, CenterCredit bank in Kazakhstan bought Alfa-Bank Kazakhstan for an undisclosed sum.
CenterCredit plans to re-register the acquired bank under the new Eco Bank brand. The deal between the two was also signed last month.
The sanctions imposed by the US-led western alliance have left Russian banks scrambling for shelter.
These developments follow European Commission’s announcement that it is planning a new package of sanctions that will remove Sberbank from the global interbank payments messaging system SWIFT.
Besides, the Austrian regulators have said that the European arm of Sberbank will be wound down by the end of 2022. | https://www.retailbankerinternational.com/news/sberbank-to-sell-kazakhstan-unit/ | 2022-05-13T06:46:29Z | https://www.retailbankerinternational.com/news/sberbank-to-sell-kazakhstan-unit/ | false | 1 |

On a bright morning last June in a South Carolina forest, a Great Horned Owl perched conspicuously just above a dirt road. In the sky, six Swallow-tailed Kites circled, their long, forked tails acting as rudders as they scolded this perceived intruder. Finally, one kite broke into a dive, headed straight for the owl…and into a waiting mist-net.
Four concealed conservationists burst from their hide to carefully extract the captured kite and safely remove their trained owl, which had been positioned just behind the waiting net. They gently fitted the football-sized black-and-white bird with a solar-powered GPS transmitter to provide crucial insight into the elegant raptor’s future movements.
This might seem like a mean trick to play on an unsuspecting bird, but it’s for a good cause. Along with two other kites, the bird is part of a GPS tracking project. The effort helps inform sustainable management practices in southeastern working forests. The project is sponsored by the fiber products company International Paper, one of American Bird Conservancy’s partners in the Southeast. The two organizations work closely to ensure private forests are both economically viable for landowners and ecologically sound for wildlife, says EJ Williams, Southeast and Atlantic Coast region vice president for ABC.
Swallow-tailed Kites once nested all the way up the Mississippi River into Minnesota, but forest loss, agricultural development, and possibly egg collecting drove them from the northern part of their range decades ago. Now, kites nesting in the U.S. are restricted to Florida and the surrounding southeastern states. The majority of forests in this area are on private land, making close partnerships with companies and landowners key to the conservation of kites and other birds in the region.
The GPS tracking project, a collaboration between ABC’s Williams and scientists at the Avian Research and Conservation Institute in Florida, builds on previous work to locate and map Swallow-tailed Kite nesting sites, which resulted in data that are already used by foresters to make more sustainable forest management decisions.
From June through September, the GPS devices beamed daily data on the birds’ travels when they passed nearby cell towers. Then, all three tagged birds headed to South America. The transmitters stopped sending updates south of Mexico due to a lack of compatible cell towers, but the team was gifted with months of stored data upon the birds’ return. This spring, the transmitters continue to provide fresh insight on how the kites use the landscape as they scout for nests and raise their chicks. — Rachel Fritts, writer/editor, American Bird Conservancy

CHARLOTTE — You've seen the schedule.
You've seen the video.
Now, you get to take a closer look at the things you might have missed.
Like rarely seen video of legendary Panthers quarterback Jack Trudeau, custom ice cream flavors, and an image from a magazine called TV Guide that people used to need to know what was showing on television at a certain day and time, so they could plan their trips from the couch since not all of us were lucky enough to have a remote control.
Yeah, it's a throwback week around here.
If you look beyond the ancient artifacts, and past the anticipation of the schedule itself, there are a number of cool things to find beyond the news.
I mean, Sir Purr his own self made an 8-bit appearance as a character in the classic Nintendo game Excitebike, one of many Easter eggs we've hidden for fans.
And you'd have to be a long-time fan to have recognized a few of the players who showed up in uniform. (They called in an actual Old Guy to help with the IDs.)
That number 82 was none other than wide receiver Don Beebe, one of the many former Bills players original general manager Bill Polian brought here with him from Buffalo.
Number 10 stumped some folks, but that was Jack Trudeau, who was chosen in the 28th round of the 1995 expansion draft (five picks before they took a guy named Bill Goldberg, who eventually dropped the first name and became a wrestling star).
You had to look carefully to see Trudeau back then too, as he appeared in exactly one game for the Panthers in the inaugural season, throwing three interceptions against the Rams in their third-ever game.
There were artifacts aplenty, from the Blockbuster Video magnet on the fridge to the Bagel Bites and Dunkaroos on the kids' plates.
Sometimes, they were hidden.
On the back of dad's newspaper — remember newspapers? — we swapped in an image any Panthers fan should remember.
Legendary linebacker Sam Mills and quarterback Kerry Collins graced the cover of the 1996 NFL Preview edition of TV Guide, dated Aug. 31-Sept. 6. (And yes, honest, we used to have to subscribe to a magazine to know what was on the few channels we had then. We barely had the internet, and were a decade away from a streaming service.)
It wouldn't be Panthers history without Mills making an appearance, after all.
Speaking of TV and the 90s, did you catch the "Wazzup" Guy from the Budweiser commercials? If you didn't, you're welcome, as anyone of a certain age will have that stuck in their head the rest of the night.
But the real treat, pun intended, came from the frozen delights former linebacker Thomas Davis got to pass out.
We had to drop in an "Ice Up Son" pop to honor Steve Smith Sr., but there was a lot of other stuff to keep you in a good humor (pun also intended) from the Sir Purr Treats truck.
Maybe you'd like a traditional Keep Pounding Bar.
Or a SpiderBurns or a 2 Cool, a nod to current stars Brian Burns and DJ Moore.
And the set itself was something to behold.
Angela Denogean and Megan Verceles-Carr of our social media department and photographer Chanelle Smith-Walker spent weeks scouring all the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores in the area looking for vintage items, to the extent employees cheerfully greeted them as "The Panthers Girls" because they kept coming back for more stuff.
They weren't the only ones happy to see the staff. The fan in the house next door to our set in a quiet neighborhood off Graham Street was happy to see us anyway, and offered the use of his driveway.
When Davis rolled up in an ice cream truck, it was more than he could believe.
Kind of like this amazing collection of stuff, including some secrets we can't even tell.
Yet.
(Stay tuned for next year.)
