WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House released financial disclosure reports for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday showing that the president’s personal finances have changed little since last year.
Biden’s report, which includes information on first lady Jill Biden, showed that he earned a modest amount of outside income during his first year as president, pulling in almost $30,000 in book royalties. His wife earned between $15,000 and $50,000 from book sales.
The report lists some income and assets only within a range, showing the couple’s assets were worth between $1.05 million and $2.58 million.
They owe between $250,000 and $500,000 on a mortgage on their Delaware home, plus between $30,000 and $100,000 on other loans.
Harris reported significantly more in book royalties. Most of the money came from sales of “The Truths We Hold,” which was published in 2019. She earned $456,000 total.
Harris is married to Doug Emhoff, a lawyer and law professor. Together, their assets total between $3.42 million and $8.29 million.
They owe between $1 million and $5 million on a mortgage on their home.

NEW YORK (AP) — Next year's Academy Awards will take place March 13, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Friday.
The date for the 95th Academy Awards moves the show up slightly from this year, when they where held unusually late on March 27, partly due to the February Olympics. But it will also leave in place a stretched-out awards season that some have argued saps the Oscars of drama.
The 94th Academy Awards didn't lack for that, albeit not in the way the film academy intended. On a night that saw Apple TV+'s “CODA” become the first film with a largely deaf cast and the first film from a streaming service to win best picture, the infamous slap by Will Smith of presenter Chris Rock overshadowed the awards.
Smith has since resigned from the academy, which banned the actor 10 years from attending the Oscars.
ABC will again broadcast next year's ceremony. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Academy-Awards-set-2023-Oscars-for-March-12-17171893.php | 2022-05-13T23:17:08Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Academy-Awards-set-2023-Oscars-for-March-12-17171893.php | true | 24 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — U.S. wildlife managers want to see at least 320 Mexican gray wolves roaming the Southwest within the next several years as they try to recover an endangered species that for decades has been the focus of political strife and litigation.
While a population cap would be eliminated under a proposed management rule, environmentalists say the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service isn’t going far enough to ensure the recovery of the endangered species. They’re pushing for the release of more captive wolves — specifically bonded pairs with pups.
Federal officials on Friday released their draft decision on the management plan for the wolves and a related environmental review. Among other things, the plan outlines when and how wolves can be removed from the wild or released from captivity.
The changes were prompted by a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. A federal judge had ordered that a revised plan be in place by July 1.
Michael Robinson with the Center for Biological Diversity said rising wolf numbers and a broader geographic distribution across New Mexico and Arizona should signal more security for the population in the short term. Still, he said the loss of genetic diversity will be a problem for the predators in the future.
“The government is pretending to conserve genetic diversity because of its court loss but refuses to release family packs with high survival rates," he said, noting that independent scientists also have pushed for the integration of underrepresented genes from captivity into the wild.
Robinson said failing to address genetic issues is at odds with the spirit of the Endangered Species Act and may violate the letter of the law.
New Mexico ranchers have their own concerns, noting that removing the population cap will result in more wolves on the landscape and ultimately more confrontation with livestock.
“On a daily basis ranching families contend with unpredictable weather, fluctuating markets and increasing regulations. Now, the federal government is moving the recovery plan ‘goal posts’ once again,” said Craig Ogden, president of New Mexico Farm & Livestock Bureau. "Our state’s ranchers are being sacrificed to achieve an ever-changing goal with no real finish line in sight.”
It's unclear whether the Fish and Wildlife Service's latest effort will result in another legal challenge by either ranchers or environmentalists.
Officials with the agency did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the groups' concerns.
The rarest subspecies of the gray wolf in North America, the Mexican wolf has seen its population increase over the last six years. A survey done earlier this year showed at least 196 Mexican gray wolves in New Mexico and Arizona.
The management rule would place restrictions on permits issued to ranchers or state wildlife agencies that allow the killing of wolves if they prey on livestock, elk or deer. In its draft decision, the Fish and Wildlife Service stated that by doing so, demographic and genetic threats to Mexican wolves would be significantly reduced in a decade or less.
Federal officials hope to reach their overall population objective as soon as 2028, and they expect to boost the survival rate of captive-bred wolves that are released into the wild in the coming years.
Officials also said that the revised plan for the first time puts into regulation a genetic objective, and meeting that goal along with the population objective would result in a 90% likelihood of the Mexican wolf population persisting over the next century. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Proposed-revision-of-Mexican-wolf-management-plan-17172065.php | 2022-05-13T23:21:09Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Proposed-revision-of-Mexican-wolf-management-plan-17172065.php | true | 16 |
Ukrainian organization in Edmonton defaced with swastikas, vandal caught on video
The Ukrainian National Federation of Canada building in Edmonton was vandalized with swastikas overnight Friday.
On Friday afternoon, black spray-painted swastikas were visible on the side of the building, as well as on a banner displaying the Ukrainian flag saying, "Stop Putin, Stop War."
Cheryl Voordenhout, Edmonton police spokesperson, told CTV News that the vandalism was reported, and officers are following up. EPS officers confirmed the incident was being referred to the hate crimes unit.
Marco Levytsky, branch secretary, said security cameras recorded the act minutes before 4 a.m.
"Unfortunately, the guy was wearing a hood, so we can't identify him," Levytsky said.
Surveillance footage shared with CTV News Edmonton shows the moment a vandal graffitied swastikas on the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada building in Edmonton on May 13, 2022 (Supplied).
Levytsky said he couldn't understand why people would target the non-profit cultural organization located in the downtown neighbourhood of McCauley with "disgraceful" vandalism.
"Ukraine elected a Jewish president with 73 per cent of the vote," he said. "Ukrainians now give him a 97 per cent approval rating. Ukrainians have the lowest percentage of any country in Europe for votes for a far-right party."
"Russia's invaded Ukraine," he added. "Russians are bombing schools, hospitals, everything else."
In a joint statement, Canadian Ukrainian Congress Alberta Provincial Council President Orysia Boychuk and Edmonton branch president Yarko Broda said the vandalism was "clearly an act aimed at intimidating" the Ukrainian community.
"Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, there has been a sharp uptick in harassment, violence, and intimidation against Ukrainian Canadians across the county," the officials said.
"This latest vandalism comes on the heels of an April 20 arson attack on a Ukrainian Catholic priest and his family in Victoria," the statement said.
"Given this increase in violence, we call on law enforcement agencies to work closely with the Ukrainian community to ensure the continued safety of people and property and the prosecution of the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law."

Fred Ward, a veteran actor who brought a gruff tenderness to tough-guy roles in such films as “The Right Stuff,” “The Player” and “Tremors,” has died. He was 79.
Ward died Sunday, his publicist Ron Hofmann said Friday. No cause or place of death was disclosed per the family’s wishes.
Ward earned a Golden Globe and shared the Venice Film Festival ensemble prize for his performance in Robert Altman‘s “Short Cuts,” and played the title character in “Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.” He also reached new heights playing Mercury 7 astronaut Virgil “Gus” Grissom in 1983′s Academy Award- nominated film “The Right Stuff.”
“Devastated to learn about the passing of my friend, Fred Ward,” tweeted actor Matthew Modine, who co-starred with Ward in “Short Cuts” and Alan Rudolph’s Equinox.” “A tough façade covering emotions as deep as the Pacific Ocean. Godspeed amigo.”
A former boxer, lumberjack in Alaska and short-order cook who served in the U.S. Air Force, Ward was a San Diego native who was part Cherokee. One early big role was alongside Clint Eastwood in 1979’s “Escape From Alcatraz.”
“I mourn the loss of Fred Ward, who was so kind to me when we worked together on ‘Remo Williams,’” actor Kate Mulgrew tweeted. “Decent and modest and utterly professional, he disarmed with a smile that was at once warm and mischievous.”
Ward’s other roles included a rumpled cop chasing a psychotic criminal played by Alec Baldwin in George Armitage’s “Miami Blues.” He was a formidable and intimidating father to both Freddie Prinze Jr.’s character in “Summer Catch” and David Spade’s title character in “Joe Dirt.”
Ward played President Reagan in the 2009 Cold War espionage thriller “Farewell” and had a supporting role in the 2013 action flick “2 Guns,” starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg.
In the horror-comedy “Tremors,” Ward paired with Kevin Bacon to play a pair of repairmen who end up saving a hardscrabble Nevada desert community beset by giant underground snakes.
With the sexually charged, NC-17 “Henry & June,” Ward showed more than just grit. Based on the book by Anais Nin and directed by Philip Kaufman, Ward played novelist Henry Miller, opposite Nin and his wife, June. “My rear end seemed to have something to do with (that rating),” he told The Washington Post.
He also reteamed with Altman for the part of a studio security chief in the director’s 1992 Hollywood satire “The Player,” and played a union activist and Meryl Streep’s workmate in Mike Nichols’ “Silkwood” in 1983.
Ward demonstrated his comedy chops playing a terrorist intent on blowing up the Academy Awards in “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult” in 1994.
On the small screen, he had recurring roles on NBC’s “ER” playing the father of Maura Tierney’s Abby Lockhart in 2006-2007 and guest starred on such series as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Leverage” and “United States of Tara.” Ward most recently appeared in the second season of HBO’s “True Detective” as the retired cop father of Colin Farrell’s Det. Ray Velcoro.
Ward is survived by his wife of 27 years, Marie-France Ward and his son, Django Ward.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown visited SparkLab in downtown Eugene today to announce a roadmap to bring computer science education to every corner of the state. She’s dedicating 5-million dollars in emergency education funds to provide grants, with special consideration for programs that reach women, people of color, and rural communities.
Brown told KLCC, “These students are having real work opportunities, hands on learning, which is incredibly effective, and as you can tell from meeting these students, they’re going to school, they’re also going to go to university, but they’re very excited about engineering, about computer science, and that’s exactly what we need for the future of Oregon.”
Brown said gaps exist in tech jobs across Oregon, and she’s asking to develop a statewide plan to provide computer science education for all. SparkLab is a place where Lane County students work with industry partners on real-world projects. Some students help companies develop products and are paid for their work. | https://www.klcc.org/education/2022-05-13/oregon-governor-kate-brown-provides-spark-for-computer-science-education | 2022-05-13T23:36:15Z | https://www.klcc.org/education/2022-05-13/oregon-governor-kate-brown-provides-spark-for-computer-science-education | true | 1 |
Big screens will be set up in Britain’s capital cities so that people can watch the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Screens broadcasting the events will be placed in The Mall in London, Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh and in Bute Park in Cardiff across the bank holiday weekend.
Events taking places to celebrate the Queen’s 70-year reign include Trooping the Colour, a service of thanksgiving, a concert and a pageant.
The screens are organised by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
The department has launched an activity pack for children to help them learn about the Queen’s reign, including articles about how the country has changed in the last seven decades.
More than 70,000 big Jubilee lunches are planned in the four UK nations over the weekend, with an expected 10 million people set to sit down with their neighbours on June 5, DCMS said.
In London, screens broadcasting the BBC’s live feed will be placed down The Mall and in St James’s Park.
In Edinburgh, screens will be placed in Princes Street Gardens with thousands able to host picnics and watch the celebrations with a backdrop of Edinburgh Castle and entertainment provided by the Royal Marines and local performers.
Bute Park, a Grade-I listed park in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre, is the venue for an afternoon of Jubilee celebrations with families invited to enjoy the Jubilee pageant on a large screen along with entertainment from the bandstand.
In Northern Ireland, primary school children can enter a design competition to create a “snapshot of Northern Ireland”, with the winning entry to be manufactured into a rug by Ulster Carpets and sent to the Queen.
The monarch and other members of the royal family will receive Northern Ireland Platinum Jubilee Hampers showcasing more than 50 local food and drink producers.
Events taking place in London will be broadcast on BBC, Sky and ITV.
The DCMS said the BBC is offering local communities a special one-off TV licence dispensation so they can screen it on a big screen they organise themselves.
The plans will allow those celebrating in town halls, community centres and streets to show live programmes throughout the weekend without needing to purchase a licence.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said: “In less than a month we will come together as a nation and Commonwealth to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s 70-year reign.
“No other British monarch has reached this milestone and we will celebrate it with tradition, pomp and circumstance.
“I hope that people and communities across the country will come together to pay tribute to Her Majesty – whether that be to watch on big screens or toasting Her Majesty at a Big Jubilee Lunch with their neighbours or coming together in their local village hall.”

The COVID-racked Cleveland Guardians will be without manager Terry Francona and most of his bench and coaching staff on Friday when they play the struggling Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game series in Minneapolis.
The Guardians will send right-hander Aaron Civale (1-2, 9.45 ERA) to the mound. Minnesota will counter with right-hander Sonny Gray (0-1, 3.48).
Civale was supposed to pitch on Wednesday, when the Guardians’ road game against the Chicago White Sox was postponed because of multiple positive coronavirus tests within Cleveland’s organization.
Cleveland bench coach DeMarlo Hale, hitting coach Chris Valaika, first base coach Sandy Alomar, assistant pitching coach Joe Torres, third base coach Mike Sarbaugh and major league hitting analyst Justin Toole all tested positive and did not make the flight to Minneapolis.
Chris Antonetti, Cleveland’s president of baseball operations, announced Thursday that pitching coach Carl Willis will manage the Guardians this weekend. The club was busy on Thursday putting together a coaching staff to support Willis, even potentially dipping into the minor leagues.
As of Thursday, no Cleveland players had tested positive for COVID.
Cleveland heads to the Twin Cities having won three of its past four games, though the lone defeat in that span was a loss in the latest contest, 4-1 to the White Sox on Tuesday. The Guardians have won eight of their past 11 games.
“What I liked it was the same team (Tuesday as it was Monday) that tried to come back,” Francona said Tuesday. “It’s hard to do that. It was through effort. I like that and appreciate that. That will serve us well.”
The Twins have dropped three straight outings, including both games of a pseudo-doubleheader against the Astros on Thursday. In completion of a game suspended on Wednesday due to rain, Houston won 11-3, and then the Astros completed a sweep with a 5-0 victory.
Minnesota was outscored 21-3 in the three-game series against Houston and did not have a starting pitcher go more than four innings. Josh Winder (2-1) took the loss in the nightcap Thursday, allowing four runs, three earned, in 3 1/3 innings.
The skid immediately followed the Twins’ three-game sweep of the Oakland A’s. Minnesota had won seven of nine games heading into the set against the Astros.
The overworked Twins bullpen needs a strong outing from Gray, who went just four scoreless innings in his most recent start, a no-decision in a 1-0 Minnesota win against Oakland on Saturday. He struck out seven and surrendered just two hits and two walks in that game, but he has not lasted past the fifth inning this season.
Gray was encouraged by the outing against the A’s, one of his former teams.
“I had a couple of walks, and they were a couple of bad walks,” Gray said. “They were kind of like, ‘You can’t continue to do that,’ but they kind of ignited me just a little bit to say, ‘All right, get your (stuff) together here, Sonny, clean it up. Get back to attacking.'”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday appointed state Republican Rep. Cord Byrd as the new secretary of state, following the resignation of Laurel M. Lee.
In a statement, DeSantis, a Republican, called Byrd a “staunch advocate for election security, public integrity, the fight against big tech censorship and the de-platforming of political candidates.”
"Cord Byrd has been an ally of freedom and democracy in the Florida Legislature, and I am confident he will carry that mission forward as Secretary of State,” DeSantis said.
Lee's resignation was announced Thursday. News outlets have reported that she is leaving the post as the state's top election official to run for Congress.
The office shake-up comes months before the midterm elections and follows a new law creating an office under the secretary of state tasked with investigating voter fraud, a top Republican priority. It also occurs as Florida is embroiled in a legal challenge to a new congressional map drawn by DeSantis' staff.
“As Secretary of State, I will make sure Florida continues to have secure elections and that we protect the freedom of our citizens in the face of big-tech censorship and ever-growing cybersecurity threats," Byrd said in a statement.
Byrd has served in the House since 2016 and has been a member of the chamber's committee on public integrity and elections since taking office, including two years as vice chair.
The governor's statement announcing the appointment highlighted Byrd's sponsorship of legislation banning so-called sanctuary cities in Florida — localities that provide added protection to immigrants — and a bill regarding the state's cybersecurity infrastructure, among other measures.
Rep. Angie Nixon, a Democrat and frequent critic of the governor, slammed DeSantis' pick in a statement shortly after he was announced.
“Florida’s top elections official should be a consensus builder whose sole focus is running free and fair elections for every citizen of our state. Cord Byrd is not that person,” she said. “He is unqualified in both his credentials and his temperament, has proved time and again he will put partisanship ahead of good policy, and is unfit to lead the elections department of a diverse state of more than 20 million people.” | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/gov-desantis-taps-state-lawmaker-as-new-secretary-of-state/article_1d4c960f-bd78-5cbf-9e70-5033daa69c0f.html | 2022-05-13T23:44:50Z | https://www.union-bulletin.com/seattle_times/gov-desantis-taps-state-lawmaker-as-new-secretary-of-state/article_1d4c960f-bd78-5cbf-9e70-5033daa69c0f.html | true | 16 |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — At least two people connected to a Tennessee execution that was abruptly put on hold last month knew the night before that the lethal injection drugs the state planned to use hadn’t undergone some required testing, newly released records show.
Citing an “oversight,” Gov. Bill Lee had called off the execution of 72-year-old Oscar Smith barely an hour before the planned lethal injection April 21 for Smith’s conviction in the 1989 killings of his estranged wife and her two teenage sons. The governor’s office later disclosed that the drugs had not been tested for endotoxins.
The Republican governor’s administration declined to release much information, saying the issue was “technical.” Instead, Lee recently appointed a former U.S. attorney to lead an independent investigation and also paused four other executions scheduled this year.
On April 21, there were no signs the lethal injection would not take place until about an hour beforehand, when the governor’s office issued a news release calling it off. Just before learning of his reprieve, Smith had received communion from his spiritual adviser, who was going to be allowed in the execution chamber. He had eaten a last meal, and media witnesses and relatives of the families were gathered and waiting. The U.S. Supreme Court had also denied a last-hour bid by Smith’s attorneys for a stay.
On Friday, the Department of Correction released 20 pages of heavily redacted emails and text messages to The Associated Press through a public records request.
In them, experts say testing was not performed for so-called endotoxins, which usually come from bacteria. Such testing is considered vital because it could be an indication of problems with the manufacture of the drugs. However, the endotoxins themselves likely wouldn’t cause a problem in an execution setting because endotoxins typically are not immediately fatal, according to Frank Romanelli, professor of pharmacy at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy.
A spokesperson for the Department of Correction did not respond to questions surrounding when the state knew the execution drugs had not been properly tested.
Tennessee’s execution protocols require any compounded drugs to be independently tested for potency, sterility and endotoxins. It wasn’t known if the other testing had been conducted from the records provided.
At last week’s news conference announcing the independent investigation, Lee said the testing problem was noticed shortly before the execution was to have been carried out. The records provided to AP imply that some people knew almost a day before.
Almost all names, email addresses, phone numbers and any other identifiable information was removed from the records. Even the name of the governor’s communication team, which is regularly distributed to media and the public, was stripped out. According to the correction agency’s general counsel, the state redacted the names of those who had been, or may in the future, be directly involved in the execution process.
Tennessee uses a three-drug series to put inmates to death: midazolam, a sedative to render the inmate unconscious; vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the inmate; and potassium chloride, to stop the heart.
The records did contain a text exchange between two unidentified individuals whose names had been blacked out in the records, the night before Smith’s scheduled execution starting at around 8 p.m. with one person asking for the lab results on the midazolam and potassium chloride.
The Department of Correction redacted the response, but when that same person asked for the results of the endotoxin test, the response from a separate person stated that it “isn’t required” based on the amount they make.
“Sorry, I didn’t have it tested,” the text reads.
“It’s been done on prior ones,” the exchange states.
Later that morning, a separate text message asks if it would be possible to test for endotoxins on the day of the execution.
“Honestly doubt it,” the response states.
Tennessee and many other states have passed exemptions to open records laws in recent years, shrouding the identity of drug suppliers and other information about executions in secrecy.
“The failure to ensure that the lethal injection chemicals were produced in accordance with .. standards is disturbing,” said Smith’s attorney Kelley Henry in an emailed statement. “Compounded high risk sterile injectables such as those used in the Tennessee lethal injection protocol are extremely risky.”
Smith was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing and shooting estranged wife Judith Smith and her sons, Jason and Chad Burnett, at their Nashville home on Oct. 1, 1989. Tennessee had planned for five executions this year, including Smith’s. It has been seeking to resume its quick, pre-pandemic pace of putting inmates to death.
Smith has maintained he is innocent. He earlier declined to choose between the electric chair and lethal injection, Tennessee’s two execution methods, so lethal injection became the default method. An initial June 2020 execution date for Smith was delayed because of the pandemic.

Police encourage safe road practices during National Road Safety Week
Police have urged drivers to take extra care on the roads to try and keep traffic incidents under control during two national road-related campaigns.
The call out has come ahead of National Road Safety Week, which runs from May 15 until May 22.
Inspector Andrew Kemp, of Port Augusta, said the week highlights the impact of road trauma and what people can do to reduce the risks.
"According to the Safer Australian Roads and Highways Group, every year approximately 1200 Australians are killed and another 44 000 are seriously injured on Australian roads, he said.
"Traffic injury is the biggest killer of Australian children under 15 and the second-biggest killer of all Australians aged between 15 and 24.
"These numbers are growing every year, but are preventable if we choose to drive so others survive."
The week will also feature National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday, May 20, and Inspector Kemp said drivers need to be more cautious with more children walking to school.
"National Walk Safely to School Day is a community initiative that aims to raise awareness of the health, road safety, transport and environmental benefits that regular walking (especially to and from school) can provide for the long term well-being of our children," he said.
"With an expected increase of children and caregivers walking to their respective schools we ask drivers to slow down and take a little extra care on our roads this Friday."
Police also encouraged road users to maintain safe practices beyond National Road Safety Week. | https://www.transcontinental.com.au/story/7736923/police-urge-drivers-to-stay-safe-on-the-road/ | 2022-05-13T23:48:22Z | https://www.transcontinental.com.au/story/7736923/police-urge-drivers-to-stay-safe-on-the-road/ | true | 1 |
After more than a week away from the team, the Boston Red Sox are ready to welcome back Rich Hill to the rotation.
Hill traveled with the team for Boston’s three-game series against the Texas Rangers and will get the start Saturday, according to manager Alex Cora, per MassLive’s Christopher Smith.
“The goal is for him to start tomorrow,” Cora told reporters Friday. “I saw him this morning. He feels great. He’s doing OK. So obviously he gets one day to move around, but we?re pretty confident he’ll be the guy tomorrow.”
Hill was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on May 6, and his last start was on May 5 against the Los Angeles Angels.
There is a chance Josh Winckowski could start Sunday, as he was pulled after two innings in his Wednesday start with Triple-A Worcester. Cora also hinted Sunday could be a bullpen game.
“There?s a chance, but obviously, there?s a lot of moving parts for that to happen,” Cora said. “At the same time, like I said, the first two days will dictate what we do on Sunday.”
Nick Pivetta gets the start Friday night as the Red Sox hope to rebound from their walk-off loss to the Atlanta Braves. | https://nesn.com/2022/05/rich-hill-travels-with-red-sox-will-start-vs-rangers-on-saturday/ | 2022-05-13T23:48:34Z | https://nesn.com/2022/05/rich-hill-travels-with-red-sox-will-start-vs-rangers-on-saturday/ | true | 1 |
After days of record breaking temperatures, we managed to only tie the record once again on Friday. That marks 5 new records for the week and two ties.
FRIDAY EVENING
The bulk of the thunderstorm activity is well to the east of Highway 63. Most of the storms tonight should be along and east of Highway 54, but a few isolated rumbles can't be ruled out for the rest of us. #MidMoWx #MoWx #MidMo pic.twitter.com/bNGpNlyFDw

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the evening hours, but the bulk of the storms will stay to the east.
A few of these storms could be strong to severe with wind and hail as the primary threats.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK
Saturday is looking mainly dry, though an isolated thunderstorm can’t be completely ruled out, with highs in the middle 80s.
Sunday will feature another chance of passing showers and thunderstorms with highs returning to near 80°.
Temperatures look cooler for next week, but are likely to remain above average for this time of the year. | https://www.komu.com/weather/forecast-friday-evening-storms-watching-a-drier-saturday/article_55f021d8-d245-11ec-a5f3-5f94826b6a47.html | 2022-05-13T23:52:49Z | https://www.komu.com/weather/forecast-friday-evening-storms-watching-a-drier-saturday/article_55f021d8-d245-11ec-a5f3-5f94826b6a47.html | false | 1 |

Magic: The Gathering is diving into the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 this summer with a Universes Beyond release that includes four preconstructed Commander decks and three Secret Lair drops, Wizards of the Coast revealed today during Weekly MTG.
Coming off The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, and Street Fighter collaborations that introduced mechanically unique cards, Wizards of the Coast is expanding the scope of Universes Beyond with its Warhammer collaboration. It will include mechanically unique cards and Warhammer flavored reprints in four precons centered around certain factions.
Precons will be available in Standard editions and Collectors editions. This is the first time precon Commander decks will be available in a special edition. Collectors editions are full foil and include a new surge foil treatment.
The names of all four decks were included during the presentation.
- Necron Dynasty – B
- Forces of the Imperium – BUW
- Tyranid Swarm – RUG
- The Ruinous Powers – RBU
Previews for the Commander decks begin July 26 leading up to the global release on Aug. 12. The Secret Lair drops will be on sale from Aug. 12 to 22.
The face Commander for The Ruinous Powers was revealed as Abaddon The Despoiler. A UBR Mythic Rare Astartes Warrior that hints at the decklist being focused on the Cascade mechanic.
Abaddon The Despoiler
- Mana value: 2UBR
- Type: Legendary Creature Astartes Warrior
- Rarity: Mythic Rare
- Stats: 5/5
- Keyword: Trample
- First ability: During your turn, spells you cast from your hand with mana value X or less have Cascade, where X is the total amount of life your opponents have lost this turn.
Abaddon also shows the set will continue the use of ability flavor words. These are names for abilities that function more as flavor descriptors than having any mechanical weight. These debuted in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms.
Two other original cards were revealed. Blood for the Blood God! is an 11-mana Instant that costs less for each Creature that died during the turn. You discard your hand, draw eight cards, then deal eight damage to each opponent. The card name and the flavor text are a direct reference to the slogan of the armies of Khorne.
Vanguard Suppressor showed off the new ability Squad. This card has Squad 2, which means you may pay two mana any number of times as an additional cost. You create that many tokens that are copies of Vanguard Suppressor equal to the number of times you paid the cost. Squad is a twist of Multi-Kicker.
A reprint of Fabricate was also revealed, showing how reprints will be handled with Warhammer-themed art.
The three Secret Lair Drops will be revealed at a later date, but the names were announced.
- Secret Lair x Warhammer 40,000: Orks
- Secret Lair x Warhammer Age of Sigmar
- Secret Lair x Blood Bowl
It’s unclear if drops will include only reprints or also mechanically unique cards. | https://dotesports.com/mtg/news/mtg-warhammer-40000-release-includes-4-commander-decks-3-secret-lair-drops | 2022-05-13T23:55:25Z | https://dotesports.com/mtg/news/mtg-warhammer-40000-release-includes-4-commander-decks-3-secret-lair-drops | true | 1 |
IBF/WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs) looked in excellent shape on Friday, weighing in at a lean 152 3/4 lbs for his undisputed junior middleweight championship bout against WBO champion Brian Castano on Showtime Championship Boxing.
(Photo credit: Stephanie Trapp/Showtime)
For his part, Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) weighed in at 153 3/4 lbs and looked ready for battle.
Charlo and Castano will be meeting for a rematch at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The two fighters fought to a 12-round draw last July in San Antonio, Texas.
This time, Charlo is vowing to take the judges out of play by knocking out Castano. We’ll see if Charlo can accomplish that task because last time, he foiled his chances of knocking out Castano by failing to throw enough punches.
Castano is likely to use his high punch output to win rounds like last time, daring Jermell to try and keep up with him. Jermell used to be an excellent boxer earlier in his career, but he’s fallen in love with his power since his knockout win over Erickson Lubin in 2017.
Jermell loads up on everything he throws and is similar to Canelo Alvarez in that respect. Like Canelo, Jermell throws very few punches because he needs to save all his energy to get the most out of his shots.
“It’s going to get dangerous. Get the smelling salts ready,” said Jermell after weighing in.
“It’s something big, and I get to achieve it alone. I do have a twin brother, and I’ve been with him a long time. But I get to do this with just me. It’s about making history. Life is about that.
“It’s about what I can achieve and show for my family, and come back and look at this later down the line and say, ‘I did it.’ This is a moment that I really wanted and needed.
“I’m predicting that he doesn’t go past ten,” said Jermall Charlo predicting that Castano will be knocked out by Jermell. “We realize a lot of things about him that we didn’t the first time.
“The first time, we were just coming in to fight him. We’re the kings of the division, so we do this. I feel like this time around; my brother is a lot sharper, a lot smarter.
“I seen the focus in him, and I’ve been around him all my life, and I’ve ever seen him want it so bad, and he wants it. This is what we do; this is what we live for. Undisputed junior middleweight championship of the world. We’re bringing these belts back to Texas,” said Jermall.
IBF Welterweight Title Eliminator
- Jaron Ennis – 146 ¼ lbs.
- Custio Clayton – 146 ½ lbs.
Super Bantamweight Bout
- Kevin Gonzalez – 121 lbs.
- Emanuel Rivera – 121 ¾ lbs. | https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/jermell-charlo-vs-brian-castano-ii-weights-for-saturday-on-showtime/221138 | 2022-05-14T00:02:09Z | https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/jermell-charlo-vs-brian-castano-ii-weights-for-saturday-on-showtime/221138 | true | 1 |

HONOLULU (AP) — Native Hawaiian composer and violinist Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti will premiere a new work this month inspired by Lahaina noon, the Honolulu mayor's office said Friday.
The Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts commissioned the composition together with Chamber Music Hawaii. The chamber will perform the work at noon on May 26.
Lahaina noon refers to the moment when the sun passes exactly overhead at midday and objects with smooth sides appear to have no shadow. The phenomenon occurs in May and July and can only be observed in the tropics.
In Hawaiian culture, Lahaina noon is viewed as a time of great mana, or power, when the sun is overhead and the shadow retreats into the body.
The work will debut at a celebration honoring the 45th anniversary of Sky Gate, a 1977 sculpture by the late artist Isamu Noguchi. At Lahaina noon, the sculpture projects a perfect ring.
Sky Gate is located on the lawn between Honolulu Hale and the Frank Fasi Municipal Building. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Native-Hawaiian-composer-s-new-work-inspired-by-17172047.php | 2022-05-14T00:04:25Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Native-Hawaiian-composer-s-new-work-inspired-by-17172047.php | false | 13 |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — U.S. wildlife managers want to see at least 320 Mexican gray wolves roaming the Southwest within the next several years as they try to recover an endangered species that for decades has been the focus of political strife and litigation.
While a population cap would be eliminated under a proposed management rule, environmentalists say the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service isn’t going far enough to ensure the recovery of the endangered species. They’re pushing for the release of more captive wolves — specifically bonded pairs with pups.
Federal officials on Friday released their draft decision on the management plan for the wolves and a related environmental review. Among other things, the plan outlines when and how wolves can be removed from the wild or released from captivity.
The changes were prompted by a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. A federal judge had ordered that a revised plan be in place by July 1.
Michael Robinson with the Center for Biological Diversity said rising wolf numbers and a broader geographic distribution across New Mexico and Arizona should signal more security for the population in the short term. Still, he said the loss of genetic diversity will be a problem for the predators in the future.
“The government is pretending to conserve genetic diversity because of its court loss but refuses to release family packs with high survival rates," he said, noting that independent scientists also have pushed for the integration of underrepresented genes from captivity into the wild.
Robinson said failing to address genetic issues is at odds with the spirit of the Endangered Species Act and may violate the letter of the law.
New Mexico ranchers have their own concerns, noting that removing the population cap will result in more wolves on the landscape and ultimately more confrontation with livestock.
“On a daily basis ranching families contend with unpredictable weather, fluctuating markets and increasing regulations. Now, the federal government is moving the recovery plan ‘goal posts’ once again,” said Craig Ogden, president of New Mexico Farm & Livestock Bureau. "Our state’s ranchers are being sacrificed to achieve an ever-changing goal with no real finish line in sight.”
It's unclear whether the Fish and Wildlife Service's latest effort will result in another legal challenge by either ranchers or environmentalists.
Officials with the agency did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the groups' concerns.
The rarest subspecies of the gray wolf in North America, the Mexican wolf has seen its population increase over the last six years. A survey done earlier this year showed at least 196 Mexican gray wolves in New Mexico and Arizona.
The management rule would place restrictions on permits issued to ranchers or state wildlife agencies that allow the killing of wolves if they prey on livestock, elk or deer. In its draft decision, the Fish and Wildlife Service stated that by doing so, demographic and genetic threats to Mexican wolves would be significantly reduced in a decade or less.
Federal officials hope to reach their overall population objective as soon as 2028, and they expect to boost the survival rate of captive-bred wolves that are released into the wild in the coming years.
Officials also said that the revised plan for the first time puts into regulation a genetic objective, and meeting that goal along with the population objective would result in a 90% likelihood of the Mexican wolf population persisting over the next century. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Proposed-revision-of-Mexican-wolf-management-plan-17172065.php | 2022-05-14T00:04:50Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Proposed-revision-of-Mexican-wolf-management-plan-17172065.php | true | 16 |
Emotional reunion: Father meets 911 operator credited with saving his baby
ALBANY, N.Y. (Spectrum News) - A New York 911 operator is being credited with saving the life of a newborn as a mother unexpectedly went into labor in her car on the way to the hospital.
Derrick Carter and his fiancé Andrewa rushed to the hospital on April 9 to deliver their baby girl, but the baby had other plans and decided she wasn’t waiting to get there.
Baby Nova Rose came into the world in the front seat of her parents’ parked car, and her life was already in danger.
“She’s got the umbilical cord around her neck,” Carter said on the 911 call.
Emergency operator Gerard Lewis said he got to work.
“Derrick, listen to me, slide your finger under the cord without stretching it tight, and carefully pull it over the baby’s head,” Lewis said on the 911 call.
Nova Rose was detangled and eventually made it safely to the hospital.
“He did all the work; I just guided him there,” Lewis said.
Carter said he was determined to meet the man on the other side of the line, and he tracked down Lewis on Facebook.
The entire family met their adopted uncle, with Carter giving Lewis a proper thank you.
“Yeah, he’ll be getting birthday pictures all the time. I don’t mind sharing my Nova with him; I really don’t. That’s her hero,” Carter said.
Lewis’ manager said he could not be more proud of him and believes the recording will likely be used as a training tool in the future.

Relatives of Ukrainian fighters at the Azovstal steel plant held demonstrations on Thursday seeking renewed efforts to save those trapped inside the plant.
Demonstrators marched across central Kyiv holding banners and shouting slogans such as “save defenders of Mariupol, save Azovstal”, “glory to the heroes of Mariupol”, and “save the military of Azovstal”.
Mariupol, a port on the Sea of Azov, has endured the most destructive fighting of the war in Ukraine. Kyiv says it is likely that tens of thousands of people have been killed there since Russia’s invasion began and the Azovstal steel plant is the last part of the city still held by Ukrainian fighters.
Many civilians were evacuated from the sprawling plant last week under an agreement with Russia, but there has been no deal to free fighters, many of whom are wounded and are facing dwindling supplies and food.
Photographs released on Wednesday showed wounded fighters trapped in the steelworks.
Fighters of the Azov Batallion said their comrades are living in unsanitary conditions “with open wounds bandaged with non-sterile remnants of bandages, without the necessary medication and even food”.
Maria Zimareva, whose relative is an Azov Battalion fighter, told Reuters: “I want all the defenders who are there to return home so that they can continue a normal life with their children and relatives.”
“The conditions they are in are horrible,” said Mariupol resident Alina Nesterenko. “I have no words to describe them. That’s why we are here. We are begging, we are pleading in every possible way, we are asking for our loved ones to be saved.”
Demonstrations were also held outside a hotel in Zaporizhzhia on Wednesday, reported NPR.
“They’re abandoning our soldiers,” Yaroslava Ivantsova, whose husband is one of the Ukrainian fighters, was quoted as saying. “We can’t let this happen.”
Ukrainian officials say there are about 1,000 fighters holding out in Azovstal’s many underground tunnels, hundreds of whom are seriously wounded and in need of urgent evacuation. The plant is under heavy Russian fire.
Wives of some of the fighters appealed to Pope Francis this week to intervene with Russian president Vladimir Putin to allow their husbands to escape the plant to a mediating country.
Ukraine’s deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Thursday that authorities are working with the Red Cross and United Nations to help evacuations.
“We have started a new round of negotiations around a road map for an (evacuation) operation. And we will start with those who are badly wounded,” the minister was quoted as saying on 1+1 television.
“We want a document signed on how an evacuation would take place at Azovstal,” she said, adding that Turkey is also acting as an intermediary.
The country has offered to host talks between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine.
The Independent has a proud history of campaigning for the rights of the most vulnerable, and we first ran our Refugees Welcome campaign during the war in Syria in 2015. Now, as we renew our campaign and launch this petition in the wake of the unfolding Ukrainian crisis, we are calling on the government to go further and faster to ensure help is delivered.

Selena Gomez and Post Malone have been labelled “divas” in the latest Saturday Night Live promo.
The Only Murders in the Building star is making her hosting debut on Saturday (14 May), with the “Rockstar” rapper as the evening’s musical guest.
In a new preview, ahead of the upcoming episode, the pair are joined by SNL regulars Aidy Bryant and Bowen Yang.
After Gomez announces her emcee duties, Bryant responds: “Two pop stars and two comedy actors, huh.”
“I’m actually also an actor,” Gomez retorts, with Malone adding: “And I’m not really a pop star.”
Yang chimes in: “And I prefer drama,” quickly prompting Bryant to quip: “Ok, well I didn’t know you were also a bunch of divas. Rude.”
Malone can be seen with his mouth gaping as he acts shocked by her comment.
While this appearance will mark Gomez’s first time as the show’s presenter, she previously performed as the musical guest in 2016.
It was recently announced that Russian Doll co-creator and lead Natasha Lyonne will take over as host for the 47th season finale on 21 May. Pop group Japanese Breakfast will be the episode’s musical act.
The next episode of SNL will premiere on 14 May on NBC at 11:30 pm EST.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea says 21 people died and 174,440 people were newly found with fever symptoms on Friday alone as the country scrambles to slow the spread of COVID-19 across its unvaccinated population.
North Korea said Saturday 27 people have died and 524,440 fell ill amid a rapid spread of fever since late April. It said 280,810 people remain in quarantine. State media didn’t specifically say how many of the fever cases and deaths were confirmed as COVID-19 cases.
The country imposed nationwide lockdowns on Thursday after confirming its first COVID-19 infections since the start of the pandemic.
State media said tests of virus samples collected Sunday from an unspecified number of people with fevers in the country’s capital, Pyongyang, confirmed they were infected with the omicron variant. The country has so far officially confirmed one death as linked to an omicron infection. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/North-Korea-confirms-21-new-deaths-as-it-battles-17172215.php | 2022-05-14T00:12:03Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/North-Korea-confirms-21-new-deaths-as-it-battles-17172215.php | true | 9 |

Waukesha sex trafficking, 'Pimpin Amanda' charged
WAUKESHA, Wis. - Colette Mahan – also known to prosecutors as "Amanda Chase" and "Pimpin Amanda" – is accused of sex trafficking five people in multiple states.
Prosecutors also accuse the 39-year-old Waukesha woman of sex trafficking a child.
Colette "Pimpin Amanda" Mahan
A grand jury indicted Mahan with multiple sex trafficking-related offenses related to five specific victims. Neighbors near her listed address are concerned.

"It's very disturbing," said neighbor Kelly Davis. "With it being so close to a school, a middle school right up the street, and my kids being next door of teenage years, it's just worrisome."
Prosecutors said the victims were trafficked between 2004 and 2018. Mahan is also accused of using force, fraud and coercion and transporting the victims to a dozen states with the "intent they engage in prostitution."
"It just really hits at home – it can happen anywhere," Davis said.
Another neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told FOX6 News they recall federal agents on the property.

"They all came charging with a shield and pushed me off to the side and told me to stay out of the way," the neighbor said.
Mahan has been arraigned on the charges and is in jail until her trial. The judge cited her history of "physical violence, intimidation, and exploitation."

MILAN — Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra and its members’ folk-hip hop anthem to their war torn nation is the oddsmaker’s favorite to win the Eurovision Song Contest, an event intended to celebrate diversity and promote friendship among nations.
Twenty-five bands are set to compete Saturday in the grand final of the annual songwriting contest. It’s taking place in northern Italy’s industrial city of Turin. Last year, 183 million people watched the televised competition.
For the Ukrainian community in Italy, Kalush Orchestra’s participation in such a hugely popular international event puts an important spotlight on Ukrainian culture while providing a platform to keep global attention focused on Russia’s invasion and war in Ukraine.

About 50 people created a flash mob when Kalush Orchestra appeared on an outdoor stage in Turin this week, amplifying international calls for help getting remaining civilians and fighters out of a steel plant that is the last Ukrainian holdout in the southern city of Mariupol.
“We see Eurovision as an international event where the presence of Ukraine and Ukrainian culture is very important,” said Zoia Stankovska, a Milan-based lawyer who helped organize the flash mob. “At the moment, Eurovision is also a place where our voice is being heard.”
Kalush Orchestra’s Eurovision entry “Stefania" was written as the frontman’s tribute to his mother but has become an anthem to the motherland since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
The song is a mashup of traditional Ukrainian folk music and contemporary hip hop elements — a trend in Ukrainian music especially since Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea — and offers an especially strong message against Russia’s false assertion that Ukrainian culture is not unique, Stankovska said.
The band’s success is serving as a sort of morale booster for Ukrainians living in Italy, Stankovska said. “When you have such terrible things going on, to have some good news is something really helpful,″ she said.

Italy is hosting Eurovision this year because the Rome-based glam rock band Maneskin won last year’s contest. On the day after Russian invaded Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union said Russia would not be allowed an entry in the contest.
For Saturday’s final, 20 winners from the semifinals held on Tuesday and Thursday will join bands from the so-called big five of Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and Britain.
While Kalush Orchestra is the sentimental favorite, receiving the most enthusiastic response from Wednesday’s open-air audience, the final decision is split between a professional jury and the viewing public.
Ukraine won twice before, in 2004 and 2016.
If Ukraine wins this year, Stockholm is offering to host next year’s event in case the war is still going on then.
“This is a way to continue to show support,” Stockholm Mayor Anna König Jerlmyr told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. “We want Ukraine to know that they are welcome to arrange the competition in Stockholm, if needed.” | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/13/world/ukraine-band-favored-eurovision-song-contest-final/ | 2022-05-14T00:36:48Z | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/13/world/ukraine-band-favored-eurovision-song-contest-final/ | true | 30 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Next year's Academy Awards will take place March 13, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Friday.
The date for the 95th Academy Awards moves the show up slightly from this year, when they where held unusually late on March 27, partly due to the February Olympics. But it will also leave in place a stretched-out awards season that some have argued saps the Oscars of drama.
The 94th Academy Awards didn't lack for that, albeit not in the way the film academy intended. On a night that saw Apple TV+'s “CODA” become the first film with a largely deaf cast and the first film from a streaming service to win best picture, the infamous slap by Will Smith of presenter Chris Rock overshadowed the awards.
Smith has since resigned from the academy, which banned the actor 10 years from attending the Oscars.
ABC will again broadcast next year's ceremony. | https://www.thehour.com/entertainment/article/Academy-Awards-set-2023-Oscars-for-March-12-17171893.php | 2022-05-14T00:39:34Z | https://www.thehour.com/entertainment/article/Academy-Awards-set-2023-Oscars-for-March-12-17171893.php | true | 24 |
Work crews from the City of Miami and the Florida Department of Transportation teamed up Friday to clean a massive trash pile up along the MacArthur Causeway in Miami, just feet away from Biscayne Bay.
Environmental activists, such as Clean This Beach Up founder Maria Algarra, say they spotted the mound of trash weeks ago, but tell NBC 6 that volunteer crews didn’t have the equipment necessary to clean up such a large amount of trash.
Algarra says activists reached out to FDOT and other local agencies to address the pile-up, which she believes may have been caused by a homeless encampment or illegal dumpsite.
“So, we have actually been looking for spots like this where there are homeless people living or camping, and we’re also looking for illegal dumping sites,” said Algarra. “And this happened to be one of them.”
Stay informed about local news and weather. Get the NBC 6 South Florida app for iOS or Android and pick your alerts.
The city brought out heavy machinery Friday to tackle the mess.
“It was so much trash that it was impossible for our crews to clean it,” said Algarra. “So imagine, they needed machinery to clean this up, it was probably 6-10,000 pounds of debris.”
She says illegal dumpsites, such as the one found along the causeway, are not only an eyesore but a danger to marine life in Biscayne Bay.

“Littering is actually a huge issue that we have to deal with,” said Algarra. “There’s a lot of beautiful species that are endangered here that get entangled in and eat these plastics.”
An FDOT spokesperson said Friday that crews had completed their work for the day, but told NBC 6 that crews may need to return to the causeway next week to complete the job. | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/work-crews-clean-up-massive-trash-pile-along-biscayne-bay/2760517/ | 2022-05-14T00:41:05Z | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/work-crews-clean-up-massive-trash-pile-along-biscayne-bay/2760517/ | false | 1 |
Man accused of attacking, raping child in sugar-cane field near Thibodaux
A suspect was arrested after authorities said he attacked and raped a 13-year-old girl last year near Thibodaux.
Marlon Rios, 28, of Gonzales, is charged with second-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
Rios was taken into custody during a traffic stop May 7 in St. Charles Parish, authorities said.
Local courts:Lafourche man gets 25 years for abusing infant son. Judge calls injuries 'horrific'
The Sheriff's Office began searching for Rios after receiving a call May 21, 2021, from the mother of the 13-year-old, who reported her child had been attacked and raped by a man in a sugar-cane field near Supreme Drive in Thibodaux, authorities said.
The girl’s father tried to apprehend the suspect in the field but he ran away, authorities said. Off-duty State Police and Terrebonne sheriff's deputies searched for the suspect but could not find him.
Police said the girl had been walking in an isolated area near her neighborhood when a man approached her from behind and sexually assaulted her. Following an investigation, detectives identified Rios as the suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Rios was transferred to the Terrebonne jail Tuesday and is being held on $500,000 bail. | https://www.houmatoday.com/story/news/2022/05/13/man-accused-attacking-raping-child-thibodaux-cornfield/9768928002/ | 2022-05-14T00:49:14Z | https://www.houmatoday.com/story/news/2022/05/13/man-accused-attacking-raping-child-thibodaux-cornfield/9768928002/ | true | 2 |
Kaley Cuoco’s quest for new love may have reached the finish line! The 36-year-old Flight Attendant star recently took to Instagram with new PDA pics with her boyfriend, Ozark’s Tom Pelphrey.
The post comes just a few weeks after Cuoco and Pelphrey confirmed their relationship, also on Instagram.
Meanwhile, the couple was spotted sharing a dinner with friends this week at Pace restaurant in Los Angeles.
"Kaley seemed to be having a lot of fun," a source tells ET. "At one point, she rubbed Tom's neck. During their meal, a dog snuck up and went towards Kaley and she was super sweet to the dog and petting it and asked the owner of the dog what its name was. It seemed like the whole group had a great night."
Last year, Cuoco announced her divorce from her husband of three years, Karl Cook. In April, she told Glamour that she would never remarry. "I would love to have a long-lasting relationship or a partnership," she noted. "But I will never get married again. Absolutely not."
Before her relationship with Cook, Cuoco was married to Ryan Sweeting from 2013-2015.

Pediatrician shares tips on where to find baby formula, and why you should not make it yourself
ATLANTA - Three months after Abbott Laboratories recalled some of its top name brands of baby formula, over concerns some of the formula may have been contaminated with harmful bacteria, the company's Michigan plant is still shut down.
Many parents are struggling to find their baby's formula. Pediatrician Jennifer Shu offered some tips that might help.
First, Dr. Shu says, check your neighborhood and social media groups for other moms who may have extra infant formula to share.
Also, she says, reach out to your pediatrician, or your baby's birth hospital, or local WIC office.
They may have formula samples or extra supplies that can tide you over until you can find more formula.
Dr. Shu also recommends checking smaller stores, pharmacies, even convenience stores, to see if they have formula.
Switching to a store-brand formula may also help.
Dr. Shu recommends bringing a can of your formula with you, and checking ingredient labels to find a formula nutritionally comparable to the one you were using.

If you cannot find formula at local store, she says, consider buying it online through well known chains like Costco or Walmart.
If your baby is at least 9-12 months, Shu says, talk to pediatrician about switching to a toddler formula, or even whole milk.
But, she says, do not make any switches before first talking to your child's doctor.
Shu also has a few tips for parents to avoid formula mistakes.
She says don't try to make your own formula.
Formula is designed to mimic breast milk and requires a careful balance of nutrients.
DIY or homemade formulas, she says, may not be nutritionally balanced, which can throw off your baby's electrolyte levels, a complication that can cause seizures.
Also, do not water down formula because that, too, can keep your child from getting the nutrients he or she needs.
Finally, Dr. Shu says, do not switch to plant based milks if your baby is under 1.

Bam Adebayo says Jimmy Butler was better player in 2020 bubble than he is now during 2022 playoffs
- Updated: May 13, 2022
Despite the fact that Jimmy Butler is thriving in this year’s playoffs, Bam Adebayo believes that Butler’s 2020 performance within the bubble in Orlando, Fla. was even better.
Adebayo appeared on ESPN’s weekday program, “NBA Today” and was asked if Butler’s efforts during the first two rounds of the 2022 postseason are his best ever.
“No, because when he was going in the bubble, he was unreal,” Adebayo said. “This is runner-up right now.”
Over the 11 games that the Heat have played during this postseason, Butler is averaging 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest. He’s also connecting on 52.5 percent of his shots from the field.
In helping the Heat close out the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Thursday night, Butler once again delivered in the clutch. He finished the game with 32 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
Those numbers by Butler would certainly be noteworthy, but in 2020, the 32-year-old veteran was able to lead his team to the NBA Finals under the unique conditions of the bubble.
In the 15 postseason games prior to reaching the 2020 NBA Finals. Butler was the driving force in helping the fifth-seeded Heat win three consecutive series. While the Heat came up short in that year’s finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, Butler delivered strong numbers, averaging 26.2 points, 9.8 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game.
Outstanding performances during the most important time of the season are what the Heat were expecting when they acquired Butler in 2019. Even though the veteran’s prickly personality hadn’t always meshed well with some of his past teammates, he’s been able to continue leading the Heat to success.
Butler and the Heat will now await to see who they’ll face in the Eastern Conference Finals. That answer could come as early as Friday night, with the Milwaukee Bucks just one game away from eliminating the Boston Celtics.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Two inmates were found dead Thursday in the same unit of a local jail in South Carolina, authorities said.
Staff at the Greenville County jail found the inmates unconscious around 4 p.m. and paramedics pronounced them dead, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office said in a statement.
Autopsies are planned for Friday, according to the coroner’s office, which didn’t release any additional information including whether there was any sign of trauma or the names of the inmates or the charges they faced.

A local branch of Prosperity Bank was robbed Friday evening, according to Corpus Christi Police Department officers.
They said an Hispanic man between 40 and 50 years old reportedly went into the bank — located in the 4100 block of S. Staples Street — at around 5:40 p.m. and handed a teller a note.
"The teller complies, gives him X amount of dollars, he takes it, takes the note back, and walks right back out," said CCPD's D.G. Garcia.
Security cameras lost track of the robbery suspect on S. Staples Street.
Garcia said no one was injured in the incident, and that officers will process the area in which the man was for evidence.

Army Reveals New Weapon Intended to Become Standard-Issue Rifle in Combat Force
The Army has revealed the weapon intended to replace the M4 carbine in front-line combat units.
The branch announced a 10-year, $20.4- million contract to Sig Sauer to produce two weapons it’s calling the next-generation squad weapons at the end of April, according to a U.S. Army Public Affairs press release.
The weapons are the XM5 rifle and the XM250 automatic rifle. The former is intended for individual soldiers, and the latter is intended as a replacement for squad automatic weapons like the M249 light machine gun.
The weapons are being supplied to combat arms across the branch, with the branch planning on eventual widespread distribution. If the weapon is adopted across the Army, it would be the most dramatic change to the branch’s standard weapon since the Vietnam War.
The M16 became the first assault rifle in US military use during that conflict, with the M4 carbine entering service as a shortened version of the rifle in the following decades.
The two weapons will fire a bigger bullet than their predecessors. Both are chambered for 6.8-millimeter rounds, rather than the 5.56 of the M4 and M429.
The new round is thought to be more lethal against a foe who is wearing body armor.
The military is gradually retooling for more conventional wars against state opponents, as opposed to the Global War on Terror against irregular Islamic terrorist forces.
The weapon has some visual similarities to the AR family of weapons used by both American civilians and service members, and some crucial differences.
The rifle has a charging handle like the AR-15, but its bolt catch is different.
“Both weapons provide significant capability improvements in accuracy, range and overall lethality,” said the Army’s statement in announcing the contract.
“They are lightweight, fire more lethal ammunition, mitigate recoil, provide improved barrel performance, and include integrated muzzle sound and flash reduction.”
The weapons are designed for use with the XM157 Fire Control system, a tool that will integrate a variable optic, a laser rangefinder and a ballistic calculator.
Widespread adoption of the XM5 rifle isn’t assured at this stage of its development, with the performance of the weapon likely to determine whether it becomes the Army’s standard-issue rifle.
Colonel Scott Madore, who oversaw testing of the XM5 against competing rifles, said that service members tested the weapon for 20,000 hours to gauge its utility.
There’s no indication that a civilian version of the XM5 is in commercial development, although it’s likely a semi-automatic version will end up in gun stores if the rifle proves effective and reliable.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – High school students are getting their cap and gowns ready, with graduation around the corner. One Colorado Springs graduate is sharing her inspirational story, hoping to encourage other kids and teens they can overcome their health obstacles too.
Kari Lucas has come a long way since her sophomore year. Kari’s high school obstacles were unlike most students.
“I woke up one morning with a really bad headache that just wouldn’t go away. Probably one of the worst pains I’ve had in my life. I was losing my appetite. I was sleeping all day and I was not myself,” said Kari Lucas, a graduating senior at Rampart High School.
Suddenly Kari was spending more time in the hospital than in school.
“Right in the E.R. is where I had a stroke. And the whole left side of my body went numb. My dad had to help me walk into the waiting area. Right after the MRI, they came in and were like, we are transferring you up to Children’s Hospital because you have a blood clot,” said Kari.
The blood clot in Kari’s brain was causing her headaches and eventually caused a stroke.
“Nurses and doctors at Children’s Hospital are angels on earth. I cannot say enough about them and how they helped her through everything, even her mental health,” said Jill Lucas, Kari’s mom.
“At the three month scan, I was hoping it’d be gone by then because it was the predicted time. That was like right when my volleyball season was starting to go into travel tournaments and it would be the perfect time for me to get back into things,” said Kari. “But they said it was still there and I still had to be on the blood thinners. And I just, I broke down a little bit there just because I did not know if I was ever going to be able to play volleyball again.”
Volleyball is Kari’s passion and she was playing on the high school team up until her health challenges. During the six months she was out, Kari said missing practice and her teammates was one of the hardest parts for her.
“The support system I had that got me through it all. I had really great friends who came over whenever they could to cheer me up,” said Kari. “My family was always there for me for whatever I needed. And encouraged me that I could get through this and really built up my mental toughness.”
“Kari was a superstar through it all she was the one that was saying don’t cry mom I’m gonna be ok,” said Jill.
After six months, Kari started playing catch up at school and making up for all the work she missed. Kari says all her teachers at Rampart High School worked with her to make sure she could get up to date with her classes. She’s now graduating with a 4.0 GPA.
“I could not be more proud of her. I mean she has worked so hard to get to this point and a lot of kids would’ve just given up. They would have said ‘I’ll just take the C’. And I never once saw that from her. She just kept pushing through and always stayed positive,” said Jill. “She has the biggest heart and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for her.”
“It really just gave me a better sense of self and made me stronger,” said Kari. “Just thank you, all of you, for everything that you’ve done for me. I could not have gotten through it without you.” | https://www.fox21news.com/top-stories/rampart-senior-overcomes-health-obstacles-graduates-with-honors/ | 2022-05-14T01:23:38Z | https://www.fox21news.com/top-stories/rampart-senior-overcomes-health-obstacles-graduates-with-honors/ | false | 1 |
Transformer review: Could Krebs cycle play a part in consciousness?
Nick Lane
Profile Books
Advertisement
IF WE want to understand the nature of life, we have to think about the flow of energy and matter. So argues biochemist and writer Nick Lane in his new book Transformer. Quoting the poem Like Most Revelations by Richard Howard, he writes that “it is the movement that creates the form”.
Lane’s focus on energy and the essential dynamism of life has been an important thread running through his research. One of the most creative of today’s biologists, his work ranges from the evolution of sex and the rise of planetary oxygen to the origin of complex cells and the first life on Earth.
In his last book, The Vital Question, he argued that many of these seemingly disparate mysteries could be explained by life’s reliance on electrically charged particles to power itself.
Transformer is no less ambitious. Its focus is a biochemical process called the Krebs cycle: a whirlwind of chemistry that spins around in all our cells many times a second. It is named for biochemist Hans Krebs, who described many details of how it works.
Lane’s thesis is that biochemists have misunderstood the cycle and therefore underestimated it. Textbooks, he says, essentially treat it as a mechanism for obtaining energy from food. But Krebs is also a chemical factory, manufacturing key components of cells. And cells can run it in various ways, so there is no one Krebs cycle. Lane compares it to a furiously busy roundabout, with different vehicles constantly whizzing in from different junctions and hurtling out on others.
The many functions of the Krebs cycle mean it can explain much about life, Lane argues. For one thing, the cycle can run backwards, and this reverse Krebs seems to be much older than the “forwards” one. Lane makes the case that it dates back to the very earliest life, which he believes arose in hydrothermal vents on the seabed. He draws on recent experiments suggesting that parts of the reverse Krebs (and at least some of the forwards Krebs) can happen without complex biochemicals to shepherd them along, and may therefore be primordial.
Moving through the history of life, Lane illustrates the deep links between the reverse Krebs and photosynthesis, which, in turn, led to Earth’s air becoming rich in oxygen for the first time – paving the way for the modern Krebs, which requires oxygen. He also argues that alterations in the cycle may have been key to the blossoming of animal diversity during the Cambrian explosion some 540 million years ago.
Lane brings the story up to date by delving into the role of Krebs in cancer. Our understanding of the disease, like our understanding of life, has been skewed by an undue emphasis on genes, says Lane. For him, the key to cancer (as to so much else) is metabolism: it is shifts in cellular metabolism, not genetic mutations, that explain why our risk of cancer increases so drastically as we age.
If that weren’t enough, Lane even suggests that the electromagnetic fields generated by metabolic processes like Krebs may be the underpinning of consciousness.
Clearly, this is a book filled with big ideas, many of which are bold instances of lateral thinking. Lane says he doesn’t expect to be right about all of it, but that is fine – even the bits that are wrong will advance our knowledge in the disproving.
It is a shame, then, that his book can be dry at times. There is a lot of nitty-gritty biochemistry – some of it essential, but described in exhausting detail. Get ready to hear an awful lot about succinate, pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate.Lane tries hard to imbue these chemicals with personality, but his efforts only go so far. Those who persevere will get a lot out of Transformer, but it is hard work.

Aspirants, who are waiting for refunds from the All Progressives Congress after stepping down at the March 26 national convention of the party, may have to keep waiting as the Presidency has said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), only “advised” the APC to refund aspirants who stepped down.
In an interview with Channels Television, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said Buhari only advised the party to refund the aspirants.
“In the case of the chairmanship aspirants, there was a consensus agreement and the President said, ‘Party, I advise you’, not that he directed. He advised the party to return the money to those that agreed to the consensus plan,” Shehu stated
The APC had at its March 26 convention called on aspirants, whose names did not appear on the unity list, to jettison their ambitions.
Buhari had insisted that officers for all the 78 party positions emerge through a consensus. After endorsing Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as the national chairman, he asked governors to draw up a unity list to fill the remaining 77 positions, a move which sparked outrage by some of the aspirants.
One of the aspirants for the position of National Youth Leader, Dada Olusegun, even cried while announcing his decision to step down.
No fewer than six chairmanship aspirants stepped down after paying N20m each. They include Niger East Senator, Sani Musa; a former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Tanko Al-Makura; and the Deputy National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Turaki Salihu Mustapha.
Others, who stepped down, are former governor Abdul’Aziz Yari of Zamfara State; Minister of Special Duties, Senator George Akume; and Mohammed Etsu. All the aspirants paid the joint sum of N120m.
At least six persons stepped down for the two deputy national chairmanship positions, including Sunny Moniedafe, Adamu Farouq; former governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State; a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; a former Senate President Ken Nnamani; and two others. They paid N10m each.
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, did not respond to inquiries on Friday. However, he had earlier promised that the party would refund the aspirants.

In a chat with Saturday PUNCH, an aspirant for the deputy chairmanship position, Moniedafe, said the APC must not renege on its promise to refund the aspirants.
Moniedafe also berated Shehu for saying the President only “advised” the party to refund the aspirants who stepped down.
The APC chieftain said he was at the convention venue when he was invited to Senate President Ahmad Lawan’s guesthouse in Abuja.
He stated, “I beg to disagree with Garba Shehu. I heard the President right. He directed that those who stepped down should be refunded. I was called on the day of the convention. I was at the venue of the convention when I was invited to the Senate President’s house.
“They pleaded with me to step down with the assurance that we would be given our money.”
On what he would do if he was not refunded, Moniedafe said, “If they try that, it will destroy every opportunity for reconciliation. It will destroy trust in the party. I heard it loud and clear. Garba Shehu should not be saying such a thing. It is unfair. I campaigned for 21 months. The form was just a fraction of the funds spent.”

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former Trump administration official running for Congress in New Hampshire did not violate state law by voting twice during the 2016 primary election season, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office said Thursday without taking a position on whether federal law was broken.
The Associated Press reported in April that Matt Mowers cast ballots in both the Feb. 9, 2016, New Hampshire presidential primary and the New Jersey primary four months later. Legal experts said Mowers could have a violated federal law that prohibits “voting more than once” in “any general, special, or primary election.” That includes casting a ballot in separate jurisdictions “for an election to the same candidacy or office.”
Though the article did not allege violation of state law, the attorney general’s office investigated based on the report and complaints from voters. After reviewing Mowers’ voting history, rental and property records, driver license documents and other material, it concluded he did not violate New Hampshire’s law against double voting.
That law prohibits voting in the same election year in another state “where one or more federal or statewide offices or statewide questions are listed.” The office concluded that the two primaries were elections within the law’s definition, but noted that the law specifically provides a “safe harbor” if the elections were on different days and a person moved to another state between the two dates.
“Since we are not authorized to enforce New Jersey or federal law, we take no position on whether your conduct was in compliance with either New Jersey or federal law,” Myles Matteson, deputy general counsel for the attorney general’s office, wrote to Mowers.
Mowers is a leading candidate for the GOP nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, though the race is far from settled as the state has yet to complete its redistricting process and finalize the congressional map. He was the nominee in 2020 but lost to the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Chris Pappas.
In a statement Friday, Mowers said the investigation confirmed his belief that the matter was nothing more than “a partisan witch hunt” coordinated by Democrats and his primary opponents.
“As the report concluded, this matter is closed. I look forward to continuing to campaign across the district and restoring New Hampshire’s voice in Congress,” he said.
His campaign also provided a statement from former U.S. Attorney Thomas Colantuono, who said in his opinion, no federal law was broken.
Even if he violated federal law, there is little chance Mowers could face prosecution. The statute of limitations has lapsed, and there is no record of anyone being prosecuted under this specific section of federal election law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks the issue. | https://www.wnct.com/news/politics/new-hampshire-ag-double-voter-mowers-didnt-break-state-law/ | 2022-05-14T01:45:52Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/politics/new-hampshire-ag-double-voter-mowers-didnt-break-state-law/ | true | 23 |
The former coal-mining town of Helen used to be a place bustling with activity, complete with a boarding house, company store, clubhouse and even a movie theater.
Although those store fronts are no longer open, one local resident is working to make sure that the sense of community those places instilled isn’t lost as well.
This was the intent behind the Helen Living Library, which opened in January and came from the imagination of Amanda Moore.
“Helen Living Library is meant to be a community center,” Moore said. “So we offer books, but we also have a closet full of puzzles, an art room where people can come and do projects there or play board games. We have a shelf full of board games. Our goal is to make it a living community center. A place where people could come and share life together.”
Moore said the idea of opening a library in Helen, where she’s lived with her husband and four children the past 14 years, came from an old radio drama her eldest daughter had listened to, called “Adventures in Odyssey.”
Moore said that much of what happens in the radio drama is centered on a place called Whit’s End, which includes an ice cream shop, train room, imagination station and more. As the stories progress in the radio drama, Moore said Whit’s End becomes somewhat of a community center.
“That was inspiring to me,” she said. “To just have a place where community gathered, for one thing, and then shared resources, of course, and shared experiences.”
Although she was never quite sure how to make this vision a reality, Moore said she had often joked with her husband that she might open a library one day, having amassed close to 1,000 books over the years from home-schooling her children.
“After we had home-schooled for years, we were keeping a lot of our books, which to me became like treasures, even though I wasn't a reader as a kid. I didn't love books growing up,” she said.
“But these books were in the attic, and I thought, 'I want a place where I can put them out and they’re accessible.' And then I had the thought, too, well why not do that in a place where the community could come in.”
Moore said she initially toyed around with the idea of opening up a library in her home but thought that might take away from the community center feel she was hoping to create.
Then in 2017 when the home next door became available, Moore said she saw that as a sign that it was time to bring her vision to life.
“After years of like almost jokingly nudging my husband and saying, ‘I'd like to have a library,’ this house came for sale in 2017 and we purchased it and started renovations, which took us a while,” she said. “We were slow because we're not very handy and we just did what we could do.”
Moore said she also reached out to family members and friends for help, adding that much of what is in the Helen Living Library today, from the books to the furniture to even the crafting supplies, came from community donations.
“In fact, a friend of mine from high school did a book drive without me even realizing he was doing it,” she said. “And then he contacted me and I think he brought about 1,000 books down here.”
Moore said she’s still somewhat in disbelief of how everything came together. She said she also couldn’t be happier that the books that were once stuffed away in her attic are now out in the open where they belong and are able to be enjoyed.
“It's exciting,” she said. “In a sense, it's like I'm reliving the initial relationship that my own kids had with the books. And then I see kids come in and I get to recommend them. And honestly, it may sound a little weird, but I look at the books that have been checked out and I am excited to see that kids in the community are reading these books.”
Moore said the Helen Living Library operates much the same as any other public library but with an added personal touch. She added that all the services she offers at the library are completely free.
From the outside, the library looks like any other house on the block aside from the "Helen Living Library" sign painted on the front. Moore said the home was initially built in the 1920s and was built for foremen or bosses of the local coal company.
Inside the library, the first room on the bottom floor contains the majority of the books Moore has collected, which are organized by genre on a row of shelves.
Moore said she tried to think of a clever name to call this particular room in the library but instead settled on simply calling it “The Great Room.”
Connected to the Great Room is the West Virginia Room, which contains West Virginia themed books as well as books by West Virginia authors. This room also contains joke books and comic books as well as comics from the newspaper.
Next to the West Virginia Room is the kitchen, which Moore has stocked with cookbooks and health-related books. This room also has a closet full of puzzles and a large kitchen table.
The second floor of the house contains three themed rooms: an art room, a music room and a little tikes’ room which also contains picture books.
Located at 111 Silverdale Court in Helen, the Helen Living Library is open from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Moore said she plans to add hours during the summer once school is out so that parents will have a place to bring their kids during the week.
Moore is also planning to host activities for kids, including crafts and games and possibly outdoor movie showings. Times and dates for these activities as well as any updates to opening hours will be posted to the library’s Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Helen-Living-Library-248137285859615.
Moore said they’re also on Instagram, @helenlivinglibrary.
Moore said she has myriad ideas and plans for what she’d like to do next at the library, but for now she hopes to get the word out and let people know what she has to offer.
“My primary focus is to serve the people who are closest to us,” Moore said. “I don't really envision or imagine people driving 40 minutes to come to our library, though I'm not opposed to that if they wanted to. But I just would like to see the kids in this area, who don't necessarily have a place to do art, or to take music lessons, or to just come and check out books, to come in and be a part of what we have here.” | https://www.register-herald.com/news/local-residents-turns-helen-house-into-community-space-and-library-with-video/article_b29e7194-5304-5e39-8b42-56c7d10cc414.html | 2022-05-14T01:46:19Z | https://www.register-herald.com/news/local-residents-turns-helen-house-into-community-space-and-library-with-video/article_b29e7194-5304-5e39-8b42-56c7d10cc414.html | false | 2 |
Guest column: Clean drinking water should be a right, but now we must fight for it
As a young person growing up in Ventura County for the past 19 years, I am no stranger to droughts. Not watering the lawn and taking shorter showers is simply a part of life in Southern California. Although water is scarce in Ventura County, there is currently a direct threat to our drinking water.
Unfortunately, the oil industry wants to profit at the expense of our precious groundwater that supplies drinking water to over 400,000 Ventura County residents and irrigation water to our $2 billion agriculture economy. It is unacceptable for the oil industry to put our water supplies at risk for their own profit. Water is life, so we must do everything we can to prevent it from contamination.
The oil industry seeks to drill through our groundwater sources to extract oil and gas without updated, scientifically-backed environmental reviews of their drilling permits. In November 2020, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted to apply a set of health and environmental rules created in the 1970s to all oil companies. These updated rules require all new oil and gas well permits to be subjected to environmental impact reviews to determine whether those wells are appropriate where they are proposed. This would effectively protect our water sources from potential contamination by analyzing the potential risks of new permits.
Also, it would ensure that all oil companies comply with the same sets of rules rather than some companies following outdated rules. Obviously, we should protect our drinking and agricultural water from potential contamination, right? Not according to the oil industry executives seeking to line their pockets.
In response to the Board of Supervisors' vote, the oil industry spent $1 million to get a revote on the updated rules in an attempt to buy their way out of their problems. As a result, Ventura County residents will vote to decide the fate of our groundwater. Measures A and B will appear on the upcoming June 7 ballot, and residents can prioritize the safety of our water by voting "yes." However, this will be no easy task since the oil industry has spent over $6.5 million to distribute widespread false information slandering the Yes on Measures A and B campaign.
When you dismantle the aggressive claims made by the oil industry, it is clear that there are priceless benefits to securing environmental reviews on new oil and gas wells. To be clear, these measures will ensure that new oil drilling permits must be reviewed by up-to-date environmental standards, not the outdated standards the oil industry is clawing to have upheld that will not protect our groundwater.
We can guarantee that permits will not be approved if wells threaten to contaminate our water with toxic chemicals and gases associated with fossil fuel extraction. We can ensure that all oil companies follow the same environmental standards. We can guarantee that our agricultural land has enough clean water to continue providing food and jobs for our county and the rest of the world. We can ensure that Ventura County's low-income communities' air and water are protected by not placing new oil and gas wells within those communities. By voting yes, we can ensure that water is life in Ventura County.
My generation faces the biggest threat to humanity: climate change. The recent UN report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes it abundantly clear that wealthy countries like the United States must rapidly phase out fossil fuel energy to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. In California, we are already seeing the devastating impacts of the climate crisis: wildfires ravage during the increasingly long fire season, droughts and infrequent rainfall make water a scarcity, and millions of Californians bear the public health consequences of fossil fuel production. Suppose we allow oil companies to drill without environmental review. In that case, my generation (and all of Ventura County) will potentially face contamination of our drinking water in addition to the climate crisis.
In Ventura County, we can proactively protect our groundwater supply by voting “yes” on Measures A and B. It is preposterous that oil companies sacrifice public groundwater sources — the water you and I drink — for their private profits. However, if we unite as a county, support grassroots organizations working to combat the oil industry's million-dollar misinformation, and, most importantly, vote yes, we can save our water. We must protect our water for our families, youth, and future generations because water is life.

Avon approves development for community housing project in Wildridge
If completed as intended, the project will provide 52 units of deed-restricted housing
A new community housing development in Wildridge got its first big win Tuesday when the Avon Town Council approved its development agreement. The development could bring 52 units of deed-restricted housing to the parcel of land known as Tract Y at the bottom of Wildridge.
Local developers Sean Reynolds, Steve MacDonald and Phil Matsen — under the development group Legacy Mountain Development — first brought the idea of partnering with the town on the development of the parcel back in November 2021. Since then, the town and development group have gone back and forth, ironing out the details of the development agreement.
Per the agreement, the developer intends to “construct a community housing, which is intended to include approximately 52 residential units on the property.”
The agreement further contemplates that “community housing,” means that any residential unit on the property will be subject to one of two kinds of deed restrictions, both of which are not price capped.
The first type is a “buyer-occupied deed restriction,” which would be for qualified buyers of the Mi Casa Avon program to receive funds from the town. The second type is an “Eagle County employee housing deed restriction,” which would not require Avon to provide financial assistance, but would require the unit be sold and/or occupied by an Eagle County employee.
The agreement defines an Eagle County employee as someone who:
- Works an average of at least 32 hours per week for at least eight months
- Earns 75% of their income by working in the county
- Is 60 years of age or older and is retired, but worked a minimum of five years for an average of at least 32 hours per week for 8 months
- Obtains their income from self-employment at an Eagle County business
- Works for an employer outside Eagle County, but can prove primary residence in the county
The town of Avon also, in approving the agreement, pledged $600,000 to support the completion of the first six housing units on the property. This $600,000 commitment would only be paid out at the time of sale to buyers that qualify under the town’s Mi Casa Avon deed-restriction program. The funds would be distributed to the maximum amount of $100,000 per unit.
The other stipulation on the funding is that these six units must have started construction by the end of 2024 and be completed by the end of 2025.
According to the report in the May 10 Town Council packet, the town has further contemplated support of $1.1 million, to be appropriated in the future. This, however, will be at the discretion of future councils.
The agreement also grants the developers tax and fee waivers, so long as it’s developed for community housing.
Moving forward toward the remaining 46 units, the developers intend to seek similar partnerships and commitments from other local entities and municipalities including the town of Vail, Eagle County and local employers.
“We have had significant interest in the project from both individuals and businesses. That being said, the lending and construction market are both very volatile right now and having firm commitments of support from the town of Avon is very important to this project being successful,” read a letter from Reynolds, MacDonald and Matsen to council.
This type of private-public partnership — and Avon’s commitment — makes the project unique from other local community housing developments in Eagle County.
“To my knowledge, no one has done a project like this before. And so, we hope it will be a good template for the future,” MacDonald said at Tuesday’s Town Council meeting.
“If you go to the town of Vail, everything that they’ve done, they either bought the ground, developed the ground and it’s been an employee rental project, even a for-sale product. They took all the risk and everything else. Our goal is to make it so you have no risk … the risk is ours to carry out what we think we can get done, but we would like to have the town’s support for this,” he continued.
With the approval, the development group intends to get construction moving as early as the summer.
“Our goal is to get started with infrastructure, and hopefully some homes, this summer and this fall,” MacDonald said. “Our intent is, by the end of this year, to have the infrastructure for 52 units. In the near term, we intend to spend our money — our money, with possibly bank support — to put in the entire infrastructure that would be needed for a residential project. We would build units as the market was ready to take them on.”
In the letter from Reynolds, MacDonald and Matsen to the Town Council, it dictates that the group is finalizing its architecture plans, intends to then begin the pricing process, complete soil sampling and break ground on grading and infrastructure work.
There was some concern from some council members on how to ensure the property gets developed for community housing, as the parcel is also zoned for commercial or industrial use. However, this investment into infrastructure, MacDonald said, shows the developers intent to complete the project wholly for community housing.
Town Manager Eric Heil also emphasized this point stating that in the current market, the “highest and best use is residential,” for Tract Y.
“We’re seeing those prices, there’s not a huge demand for commercial,” Heil said.
Overall, council expressed excitement for pursuing this new type of development agreement.
“I appreciate your ambition and the private and pubic partnership that we’ve talked about for years and that we’ve anxiously wanted in the town,” said Council member Lindsay Hardy.
Amy Phillips, council member and mayor pro tem, echoed this appreciation for what the development group brought to the table, adding that she’s looking forward to “not rolling my eyes when someone says, ‘I want to buy something.’”
And following the unanimous passage of the agreement by council, Mayor Sarah Smith Hymes offered one final piece of advice: “Go forth and conquer.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@delicatedew.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one delicatedew.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

Boris Becker 'could be out of jail by CHRISTMAS': Disgraced tennis legend believes he'll be deported to Germany in November - where 'more lenient laws would see him out on licence weeks later'
- Three-time Wimbledon champion is currently behind bars in HMP Wandsworth
- The 54-year-old is serving a two-and-a-half year sentence for bankruptcy fraud
- Foreign nationals serving sentences longer than 12 months are often deported
Incarcerated tennis star Boris Becker could be freed from jail before Christmas by being deported to Germany.
The three-time Wimbledon champion is currently behind bars in HMP Wandsworth, just 2.4 miles from Centre Court, serving a two-and-a-half year sentence for bankruptcy fraud.
Becker, 54, believes he would be out on licence within weeks in Germany as is home country has more lenient laws than the UK.
According to the Home Office, foreign nationals serving prison sentences longer than 12 months are often deported 'at the earliest opportunity' as it is deemed 'conducive to the public good'.
He has lived in West London since 2012 but never got around to applying for citizenship, despite stating his intention to do so seven years ago.
Under the Government's Early Removal Scheme, Becker could be sent to Germany as early as November.
Incarcerated tennis star Boris Becker could be freed from jail before Christmas by being deported to Germany (pictured with girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro)
A source told The Sun: 'He’s very confident he’ll be back in Germany well before Christmas.
'He believes he would be out on licence there by Christmas as they have a much more lenient justice system.'
The newspaper also revealed that disgraced Becker has been teaching English to foreign prisoners.
It comes after it was reported that he is struggling to adjust to life behind bars as he comes to grips with the 'constant noise' and small portions of basic food.
Becker, who is known for enjoying luxuries like Cuban cigars, fine wines and fillet steak, was brought back down to earth after being served corned beef on his first night in prison.
He is finding it difficult to cope with the quantities of food on offer, sources say, and is using his £10 weekly allowance to top up meals with chocolate, biscuits and bananas from the canteen.

The sportsman is also said to be struggling to sleep in his six square metre cell.
A source told The Sun: 'He is having a rough time and the worst thing of all is the food.
'He cannot believe how bad it is and how small the portions are. One of his first meals was corned beef, which wasn't good.
'But he will have to get used to it. He is also shocked at the lack of hygiene at the prison because it's so overcrowded.'
Becker's girlfriend was seen visiting the star, after he called her and his 86-year-old mother from jail.

Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro was seen walking out of the notorious Victorian lock-up wearing a denim jacket, joggers and a cap while carrying a silver Puma holdall.
Becker has been allowed to make two telephone calls in jail, one to Lilian - who is in her forties - and one to his elderly mother, according to reports.
He is 'doing ok' behind bars and his mental health is good, his estranged wife has said, although she added the jail 'was not a five-star hotel'.
Prisoners at Wandsworth are allowed to make one call after arriving, but the sportsman was allowed an extra one as a 'celebrity bonus', a member of staff told Bild. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10815303/Boris-Becker-jail-CHRISTMAS-Tennis-star-believes-hell-deported-Germany.html | 2022-05-14T02:06:51Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10815303/Boris-Becker-jail-CHRISTMAS-Tennis-star-believes-hell-deported-Germany.html | false | 3 |

Blue Jays' Springer Leaves Game with Ankle Sprain
There was some bad news for the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field on Friday.
In the second inning against the Rays, Toronto center fielder George Springer crashed into the wall trying to snag a fly ball. The 32-year-old landed awkwardly and was visibly shaken up after the tumble.
Springer was determined to stay in the contest, but eventually had to be removed after his at-bat in the third inning. He left the game with what the team is calling a left ankle sprain.
If Springer is forced to miss significant time, the Blue Jays lineup will be in big trouble. As a team, Toronto has struggled to generate offense this season—their .684 team OPS ranks 16th in MLB, and Springer's .875 OPS helped boost those numbers.
For Springer, the ankle sprain is the latest injury in a long line of ailments since he joined the Blue Jays. Last season, he battled quad, oblique, and knee issues which limited him to 78 games. | https://www.si.com/mlb/bluejays/news/blue-jays-george-springer-leaves-game-with-ankle-sprain | 2022-05-14T02:12:20Z | https://www.si.com/mlb/bluejays/news/blue-jays-george-springer-leaves-game-with-ankle-sprain | true | 1 |

No cancer found during Former Tiger, Padres manager Bob Melvin's prostate surgery
San Diego — The San Diego Padres say no cancer was found when manager Bob Melvin had prostate surgery on Wednesday.
Melvin, 60, was recovering at home Friday after being released from the hospital, the team said.
Melvin said Tuesday that he didn’t think he had cancer, but the doctors wouldn’t know until the surgery. He said he hoped to miss only the first six games of the team’s forthcoming nine-game trip, which started Friday night in Atlanta and continues through Philadelphia and San Francisco.
Bench coach Ryan Christenson is serving as interim manager during Melvin's absence. He was Melvin's bench coach the last four seasons in Oakland. Melvin was hired away from the Athletics on Nov. 1 and is in his 19th season as a big league manager.
Melvin said he had been feeling various symptoms since the team returned from a road trip that ended May 4. He missed a game the next night with what the team said was a gastrointestinal issue.
The Padres also said Friday that third base coach Matt Williams remained in COVID-19 protocol and hoped to rejoin the team in Philadelphia for a series that starts Tuesday night. First base coach David Macias moved to third base and Morgan Burkhart coached first base just as they did Wednesday in a home loss to the Cubs. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/2022/05/13/no-cancer-found-during-former-tiger-padres-manager-bob-melvins-prostate-surgery/9772557002/ | 2022-05-14T02:17:59Z | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/2022/05/13/no-cancer-found-during-former-tiger-padres-manager-bob-melvins-prostate-surgery/9772557002/ | false | 22 |
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday named conservative Rep. Cord Byrd, a Neptune Beach Republican, as Florida’s new secretary of state, overseeing the state’s elections office.
Byrd, an attorney, has sponsored some of the most controversial bills in the Legislature in recent years, and he sided with DeSantis in an ongoing intraparty dispute over the state’s congressional maps.
In a statement, DeSantis touted bills Byrd has sponsored in recent years that were some of the governor’s top priorities, including 2019 legislation banning so-called “sanctuary cities,” a 2020 bill requiring that some employers check the immigration status of new workers and broad anti-rioting legislation in 2021.
“Cord Byrd has been an ally of freedom and democracy in the Florida Legislature, and I am confident he will carry that mission forward as Secretary of State,” DeSantis said. “I look forward to his successes ensuring Florida’s elections remain safe, secure and well-administered.”
Byrd, 51, said in a statement that he will “make sure Florida continues to have secure elections and that we protect the freedom of our citizens in the face of big-tech censorship and ever-growing cybersecurity threats.”
The Friday announcement comes a day after Secretary of State Laurel Lee, a former federal prosecutor and Hillsborough County judge, announced she was leaving the office on Monday. She’s widely believed to be running in Congressional District 15 as a Republican.
Lee received bipartisan praise during her tenure as the state’s election chief, advancing DeSantis’ controversial election measures while staying out of the political fray. The 2020 election was one of the state’s smoothest in recent memory, and the president of the association representing the state’s elections supervisors called her departure a “horrible loss.” Florida’s secretary of state earns a salary of $170,000.
Since joining the Legislature in 2016, Byrd has served on the House’s Public Integrity and Elections Committee. When a protest broke out in the House gallery during a floor debate over this year’s abortion bill, Byrd turned around and cursed at Black Democratic colleagues, considered a major breach of decorum.
Afterward, Rep. Angie Nixon, D-Jacksonville, called Byrd a “racist” and called for his censure. Byrd responded by calling her a “one-trick pony” who routinely calls her opponents white supremacists, according to Florida Politics.
After Friday’s announcement, Nixon released a statement calling the idea of Byrd overseeing the state’s elections “frightening.”
“Florida’s top elections official should be a consensus builder whose sole focus is running free and fair elections for every citizen of our state,” she said. “Cord Byrd is not that person. He is unqualified in both his credentials and his temperament.”
In March, DeSantis appointed Byrd’s wife, Esther, to the State Board of Education, despite her making headlines over a tweet about the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The tweet, which was later taken down, said, “In the coming civil wars (We the People vs the Radical Left and We the People cleaning up the Republican Party), team rosters are being filled. Every elected official in DC will pick one. There are only 2 teams… With Us [or] Against Us,” according to News 4 Jacksonville.
Byrd later called his wife’s tweet “hyperbole” and compared it to comments made by TV personalities on Fox News.
Byrd still faces confirmation by the Florida Senate.
In his new role, Byrd will be overseeing a Department of State that is newly enhanced with a first-of-its-kind elections police force, an idea DeSantis pushed this year to combat election-related fraud.
The legislation created a 15-person Office of Election Crimes and Security to investigate fraud complaints, supplemented by 10 police officers chosen by the governor from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots announced that they have signed three of their 2022 draft selections. Signed today were third-round pick DB Marcus Jones and sixth-round picks RB Kevin Harris and DL Sam Roberts. Terms of the contracts were not announced. In addition, the Patriots released rookie free agent OL Liam Shanahan.
Jones, 23, was selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 85th overall selection out of Houston. The 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was named the 2021 Paul Hornung Award winner as the nation's most versatile player as a defensive back, wide receiver and returner. He led the NCAA in 2021 with two punts returned for a touchdown and was third with two kicks returned for touchdowns. Jones led his conference with five interceptions and also caught 10 passes for 109 yards and one touchdown.
Harris, 21, was selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 183rd overall selection out of South Carolina. The 5-foot-10, 225-pounder finished his college career with 1,976 rushing yards in 28 games with 16 starts. Harris also logged eight 100-yard rushing games and two 200-yard games.
Roberts, 24, was selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 200th overall selection out of Northwest Missouri State. The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder won the Cliff Harris Award in 2021, given to the best defensive player in NCAA Division II. Overall, he played in 50 career games during his college career and posted 184 total tackles and 18 ½ sacks.
Shanahan, 23, a native of Marlborough, Mass., was signed by New England as a rookie free agent on May 9, 2022 out of Louisiana State. The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder originally went to Harvard where he started for three years at right guard and earned All-Ivy League honors. He transferred to Louisiana State in 2020 where he started in 10 games at center. Last season, he started all 13 games at center for Louisiana State. | https://www.patriots.com/news/patriots-sign-three-2022-draft-picks-release-ol-liam-shanahan | 2022-05-14T02:30:15Z | https://www.patriots.com/news/patriots-sign-three-2022-draft-picks-release-ol-liam-shanahan | false | 1 |
Bedford Heights woman claims most electrical outlets in apartment have been out since March
BEDFORD HEIGHTS, Ohio (WOIO) - A Bedford Heights resident said most of the electrical sockets and light switches in her apartment stopped working on March 29, and the power crunch problem has yet to be fixed.
Michelle Vaughn, who lives in the apartment, said, “I went in the kitchen and I was like hold on I don’t got no lights!”
So she called the 24-hour maintenance team.
“He came and he flipped the box, and unscrewed the box out the wall, and was like, ‘oh I don’t know what happened,’” explained Vaughn.
According to a letter sent to Vaughn on April 29 from apartment management, the electrical issues were due to maintenance that had been done on the roof, and they took $100 off her rent.
During the 19 News Troubleshooter team’s visit on Friday, Vaughan flipped switches in the hallway, both bathrooms, and both bedrooms.
Nothing turned on.
She even showed us her kitchen where she has one good outlet, where she rotates her appliances.
We did discover a couple of outlets in her living room that did work.
“You have 152 units in here and if I’m paying $930 - that’s a lot of money,” said Vaughn. “You have the money to hire somebody.”
A crew from EDEN Housing, a nonprofit that helps Vaughan pay her rent, also came out to check out the problem.
EDEN sent a letter to the apartment stating the electric issues needed to be fixed in 30 days, or they would withhold payment.
Almost 30 minutes after we arrived on Friday, a letter was placed on Vaughn’s front door.
It said an electrician would be there next week.
To be fair, we stopped by the leasing office to get its side of the story about the ongoing problem, and about the Monday promise.
Nobody was made available to meet with us.
However, a phone call from the apartment’s attorney, Lisa Friedman, was followed by an email:
“There are no civil claims pending relating to these issues. Our client’s records reflect that all maintenance records are up to date and that there are no outstanding requests for additional maintenance. My client will follow up with the tenant’s newly reported complaints and maintenance requests.”
Our team also reached out to the city of Bedford.
We spoke with the Mayor and the head of Housing.
They told us they were aware of the problem and could confirm that they had not been notified that it had been fixed.
However, they did know an electrician was working on the job.

OKANOGAN - State veterinarians are urging flock owners to be hyper-vigilant about preventing farm-to-farm transfers of avian flu after a case was detected in Okanogan County this week.
Okanogan County’s case was confirmed on Thursday after a flock owner contacted the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) sick bird hotline to report an abnormal number of sudden deaths in their chicken flock as well as other sick birds. Okanogan County’s Emergency Management Department says the area where the sick birds are will not be disclosed at this time for safety reasons.
“Even though the virus has been detected in backyard and wild birds throughout the state, you can still safeguard your birds – but don’t wait,” Dr. Amber Itle, Washington state veterinarian, said.
“If flock owners could remain diligent for just a few weeks until the waterfowl complete their migration north, we are hopeful we can get through the worst of it with lower impact,” Itle said.
Report unusual, multiple deaths or illness among domestic birds to the WSDA Avian Health Program at 1-800-606-3056. Report dead or sick wild birds using the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife’s online reporting tool.
Since WSDA announced the first case of avian influenza in Washington, eight counties have had infected domestic birds. | https://www.ifiberone.com/columbia_basin/okanogan-county-now-one-of-eight-wa-counties-with-a-case-of-bird-flu/article_532b90d0-d2ff-11ec-9814-ffaf062f22c9.html | 2022-05-14T02:39:31Z | https://www.ifiberone.com/columbia_basin/okanogan-county-now-one-of-eight-wa-counties-with-a-case-of-bird-flu/article_532b90d0-d2ff-11ec-9814-ffaf062f22c9.html | true | 1 |

A Gem on the Historical Silk Route. Situated on the southern banks of Tai Lake with the city of Shanghai to the east, the historic city of Huzhou is well-known as one of the birthplaces of silk cultivation. Around 60 years ago, a great number of silk artifacts were discovered on the outskirts of Huzhou, dating back to 4,000 years ago. Today, the silk and textile industries still play an important role in Huzhou’s overall economic development. As the only city in the region to reference Tai Lake in its name. Perkins&Will envisioned an urban planning exhibition museum for Huzhou inspired by the fluidity of water and the texture of silk. With a floor area of 15,600 square meters, the building houses a collection of exhibition halls, offices, a conference center, and educational classrooms. The nature park and lake surrounding the museum attract nearby residents, creating an active cultural and community gathering place. Located between the CBD and the Tai Lake Holiday Resort Area, the project is a key component of Huzhou’s Olympic Sports Center and Wetlands Park. Set within a lush green landscape with a view of the scenic mountains nearby, the museum is a prominent cultural landmark within the area.
Facade Inspiration. Referencing the natural process of silk production, the building consists of two cocoon-shaped volumes connected by a glass entry hall. The graceful ribbon-like facade is inspired by the organic forms of water and silk. Undulations in the curtain wall allow abundant natural light into the spaces within while creating a sense of fluidity in the facade.
Connecting with Nature. Enclosed on each end by full-height glass facades, the entry hall seamlessly connects visitors with the surrounding landscape. The folded metal forms of the exterior facade have been continued through into the interior, with its materiality replaced by wooden louvers to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The organically shaped skylights above are reminiscent of the local Taihu stone and bring additional natural light into the space while reducing the need for artificial lighting during the daytime.
Main Exhibition Hall. Located in the larger of the two cocoon forms, the highlight of the project is, without a doubt, the physical scale model of Huzhou, As one of the largest urban planning models in China, it showcases a fascinating story of the region’s illustrious past, while focusing on Huzhou’s long-term development plans and its commitment to a green and sustainable future.
Visitor Circulation. The internal circulation strategy is a modern interpretation of the meandering character of traditional Chinese gardens. Different themed spaces have been dispersed along the main exhibition route and offer panoramic views of the outside. Completing the program of the museum is a library and cafe, allowing guests a calming and engaging place to rest during their visit.
Natural Landscape. The original siting and orientation strategy focused on enhancing the picturesque waterfront and mountain views to the northwest. The museum’s form and positioning take advantage of the natural attributes of the site while offering an iconic gesture to the city’s history and culture.
Sustainability. The museum has been awarded China's Three-Star Green Building certification. The design of the building and the site maintains a cohesive and organic relationship that respects and protects the adjacent natural wetlands and their vegetation. Through a series of sunlight simulation studies, the building's form, orientation, and façade design were optimized to allow an abundance of natural light into the interior spaces. Operable glazing panels in the curtain wall also allow the use of natural ventilation during appropriate times of the year in order to reduce additional energy consumption. The project also incorporates a rainwater collection system, use of recycled materials, and other energy-saving smart technologies to further reduce its carbon footprint. Huzhou Urban Planning Exhibition Museum combines the city’s past, present, and future, displaying Huzhou’s history, culture, and a grand vision. It is a window to showcase the city and is an urban living room for Huzhou’s culture and spirit, where citizens and visitors, alike, can understand, appreciate, and participate in the development of Huzhou. — Kun Tao, Vice President of Huzhou Urban Planning and Design Institute | https://www.archdaily.com/981734/huzhou-urban-planning-exhibition-museum-perkins-and-will | 2022-05-14T02:42:37Z | https://www.archdaily.com/981734/huzhou-urban-planning-exhibition-museum-perkins-and-will | true | 1 |

The new 5,000km SEA-H2X system will connect Hong Kong, Hainan, the Philippines, Thailand, East Malaysia, and Singapore. There will also be options to extend onwards to Vietnam…
The new 5,000km SEA-H2X system will connect Hong Kong, Hainan, the Philippines, Thailand, East Malaysia, and Singapore. There will also be options to extend onwards to Vietnam, West Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia. The cable is expected to be ready for service in 2024.
China Mobile International, China Unicom Global, Converge ICT Solutions, and PPTEL SEA H2X have reconfirmed their plans to build and operate the cable. HMN Tech has been appointed to implement the design, manufacturing, and deployment of the system.
SEA-H2X will consist of at least 8 fibre-pairs between Hong Kong and Singapore, with a design capacity of 160 terabits per second. The cable will employ an open model allowing for the option to select Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) from third-party vendors in the future. HMN Tech’s advanced Branching Unit (BU) and Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) will also offer SEA-H2X the flexibility of electrical power and optical fibre switches across multiple locations.

By Trend
Two senior Twitter leaders who oversee the consumer and revenue divisions will depart the social media company, Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal told employees in a memo on Thursday, in one of the biggest shake-ups at the company since billionaire Elon Musk announced he would buy it for $44 billion, Trend reports with reference to Reuters.
Agrawal also said in the memo, which was seen by Reuters, that Twitter would pause most hiring and review all existing job offers to determine whether any "should be pulled back."
He attributed the decision in part because Twitter was not able to hit user growth and revenue milestones to maintain confidence that it could reach aggressive growth targets it had set in 2020.
"We need to continue to be intentional about our teams, hiring and costs," Agrawal wrote.
The company was targeting $7.5 billion in annual revenue and 315 million daily users by the end of 2023, but withdrew those goals in its recent earnings report.
Kayvon Beykpour, who led Twitter's consumer division, and Bruce Falck, who oversaw revenue, both tweeted on Thursday that the departures were not their decisions.
"Parag asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction," Beykpour tweeted, adding he was still on paternity leave from Twitter.
"I'll clarify that I too was fired by (Parag)," Falck said, though he appeared to later delete the tweet.
Falck thanked his team in a tweet thread and updated his bio to say "unemployed."
"We were able to achieve the results we did through your hard work - quarterly revenue does not lie. Google it," he said.
Jay Sullivan, who was leading the consumer unit during Beykpour's leave, will become permanent head of the division. He will also oversee the revenue team until a new leader is named, Agrawal said in the memo.
While no layoffs are planned, Agrawal said Twitter will reduce its spending on contractors, travel and marketing as well as its real estate footprint. | http://www.today.az/news/regions/220057.html | 2022-05-14T02:50:41Z | http://www.today.az/news/regions/220057.html | false | 11 |
Park Aerospace Corp (PKE) CEO Brian Shore on Q4 2022 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Park Aerospace Corp (NYSE:PKE) Q4 2022 Earnings Conference Call May 12, 2022 11:00 AM ET
Company Participants
Brian Shore - Chairman and CEO
Conference Call Participants
Brian Glenn - Olcott Square Investment
Operator
Good morning. My name is Howard, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Park Aerospace Corp. Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year '22 Earnings Release Conference Call and Investor Presentation. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.
At this time, I will turn today's call over to Mr. Brian Shore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Shore, you may begin your conference.
Brian Shore
Thank you, operator. Hello. This is Brian. Good morning to everybody. Welcome to our Q4 investor conference call. Nice to have you aboard. So this morning, as you know, we announced our earnings, there was an earnings release, and you probably want to pick that up in the earnings released our instructions as to how to access the presentation we're about to go through, through the webcast, also on our website.
So we always give you this little caveat. We can't cover everything. We have a lot, but we try to focus on -- we don't go through real dry number analysis -- can we do that for you later, if you like, but we try to highlight some areas that we think might be interesting to you and might give you some interesting perspective.
We'll skim over certain portions of the presentation is very long. Some of it is just included for context. We're not going to cover every item in the presentation. We don't have time for that. And it could still take 45 minutes to go through this, and I just want to warn you about that. Matt and I will, of course, answer any questions you have at the -- when we're done going through the presentation. Okay.
So let's do it as they say. We go to Slide 2, forward-looking disclaimer. If you have any questions about our forward-looking disclaimer, just give us a call. Slide 3 is table of contents. Slide 1 is the presentation a to go through. Appendix 1, we have our normal supplemental financial information as appendix. I want to go on to Slide 4, probably take a little more time on Slide 4 than the first 3 slides.
So Slide 4, we have our Q4 results, which you probably are already aware of because they're also. So I won't spend a lot of time in the numbers. The numbers are there you see the top line is off from the prior quarters. And -- but 1 thing we're happy about is that the gross margin is back over 30%. We don't like it, like last quarter for Q3 when it was under 30%. That doesn't make us too happy and the adjusted EBITDA margin is also in the area we'd like to see -- we'd like to see better than that, but at least it's not like below 20%, which was a Q3 percentage as well.
EBITDA -- adjusted EBITDA were $3 million. We're pleased about that. Okay. What did we say about Q4 during our Q3 conference call, we said sales estimates were $12.75 million to $13.25 million. So we didn't make that number or under that number by $12.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA, $3 million to $3.5 million. So we came in within that range.
I would always remind you, I got to do that, that when we give you forecast, we don't call it guidance or estimates. We're telling you what we think is going to happen. We're not playing what we consider to be a low game that probably 90% of other corporations do, where they give you a low number so they can beat it to be heroes. We think that's kind of silly and insulting. So we tell you what's going to -- what you think is going to happen. We're sometimes wrong, but we say we're telling you what we really believe is going to happen.
Anyway, even though we came in under the top line. The bottom line was where we want it to be. And I would say that was an outstanding job by Park's people to make the EBITDA number considering that the top line we did not make and considering all the other things we're about to talk about in terms of the day-to-day life of Park.
Let's go on to Slide 5. Here we go, living the life of the Park Life in Q4, Q1 and beyond. These things are not can surprise you if you listen to other conference calls or watch the business news these days, supply chain, supply chain, supply chain, wow -- this is really something.
And I just want to note that we were told by people to know that this is going to end -- this problem going to end last year. Here's how there for that. Of course, it didn't end. And as far as we're concerned, it's -- we never thought it is bad.
Our freight, freight, yes, daily battle, severe staffing shortages. We'll get back to that later. Total missed shipments in Q4 close to $1 million, mostly to supply chain issues close to $1 million of stuff we would have shipped -- could have shipped if we had the raw materials that we needed.
Let's go to Slide 6. Okay. We're continuing on the -- what Park is living with stuff, inflation, inflation, inflation, raw material costs. You get freight costs, utilities, supplies, pretty much everything. So again, you don't need us to tell you this. Everybody knows about this or the grocery store, gas station, you're hearing it, you're seeing it, you're feeling it.
But transitory. We've got a double how that, remember, transitory. The people still saying that. I wonder, this is not a last list of excuses, excuses, that's a dirty word of Park. We don't get into excuses. But as investors, we think you would like to know what we're living with every day at Park. So that's what we're telling you these things.
Slide 7. More on the supply chain, yes, we never saw like this before. It's become a free for all order in the supply chain just broken down. It's chaos pervades and in some cases, even good for POs are not being honored. So this is what I mean by things breaking down.
The normal business, there's just kind of trust, good faith that is required for business to operate. We get a pricing quote for a supplier. We have a PO, confirmed PO, we turn around and we have pricing to our customer. It is based upon our cost, of course, based upon the raw material costs, based upon the call we have from our supplier.
Then it goes up and down to supply chain like that. This is always done. It's just done good faith. We don't get a law firm out every time. We don't contact the law firm every time there's a PO or PO confirmation. This is how business operates. But right now, none of this really works anymore.
Not only are suppliers not able to meet their delivery commitments that we understand because maybe they're not getting their raw materials in time so that we understand or maybe they have staffing shortages. But the other thing that's happening, which is disappointing to us, but not shocking is that in some cases, people, companies aren't even honoring the pricing that's in appeal.
I confirm PO, we're not going to honor that pricing. So what position it puts us in is that, okay, we've assumed that price can we get pricing to our customer. So kind of an interesting dynamic, but that's why I say the supply chain is kind of chaos. Everything you want to count on for normal business, it's -- these are assumptions that we just could not take -- used to take or granted, we can't take it grant anymore.
But at Park, we don't panic, even though the panic creates we're saying and we live with the chaos. If chaos comes our way. So we'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's very unfortunate that this is the world living in it because there's a lot of time and effort to deal with this stuff would be better to be dealing with other things, but we'll deal with whatever we have to deal with. That's how we do at park.
At Park, honor integrity of what matter most. At Park, principle do not once more on this later, but you probably get were going with this. We honor our commitments. We honor our commitments in terms of any kind of pricing we have on confirm PO. We don't go back and say, sorry. Our costs went up. Let's say we have a confirmed delivery so to be in 3 months. We don't go back to the customer and say, "Sorry, our costs went up so we're not going to honor the pricing.
We don't do that. That's not in the Park way anyway. Okay. Let's keep going. We'll get back to that later. Slide 8. Slide 8 is interesting, lease, that's the annual look at the annual fiscal year look at the Park history. And we highlighted, as you can see, fiscal year '20 and fiscal year '22. We thought maybe we could focus on those 2 years for a second because we think the comparison is kind of interesting.
Note, of course, that in fiscal year '22, the top line was off from fiscal year '20, partly some of the reasons we're talking about. But nevertheless, it was off. But it is a very nice but here, look at the gross margins. The gross margins were better in '22 than in '20, even though in '20, the top line was much higher.
'20 was a good year. Let's think about that. Our fiscal year ends end of February. So '20 was a pre COVID year right before COVID started. 22 was not a pre-COVID year. Not at all, not a pre-COVID pre-economic crisis year. So even in the old second COVID year, our fiscal '22, the second economic crisis year, our gross margins were actually better. And look at the adjusted EBITDA, not just the percentage, the actual number is better, $13 million in fiscal '20 to approximately $13.1 million, a little bit better, but we'll take it in '22.
'22, we had COVID disruptions, supply chain, payoffs, inflation, staffing shortages. These are the things we live with in '22, but nevertheless, look at what our people were able to achieve when the adjusted EBITDA margin also very nice. So I would say excellent, excellent outstanding job by Park's people under extremely difficult circumstances to deliver that kind of performance.
So if you ever want to send a thank you note on ever want to send thank you note to the Park's people, not me, I didn't do any of it. It's our people to do all of it. Let's go on to Slide 9. We'll just skip through this. This is something we do every quarter now, one of our really good investors, good ideas and we should cover this every quarter.
So sure, we do it. The only thing that I'll cover the bottom on the slide, 9, the bottom arrow point, with interest rates rising fast and error of cheap and easy of money coming to an end, we hope, maybe Park's are harder in money will finally be worth something, frustrating having money and everybody else gets free money and we're trying to compete, let's say, on M&A and the prices go way through the roof because somebody else -- they're using other people's money.
We use our money. And the other people's money is cheap. So hopefully, there'll be a little bit of change there. Slide 10. The only thing we cover is the last item, just an update. We paid $554 million or $27.05 per share cash dividend since fiscal year 2005. By comment, I think you know what it is. That's a lot of the money for a small company like Park.
Slide 11, okay. A little more of our kind of fun stuff here, top 5 customers in Q4. There's a picture of Boeing 740 -- sorry, 787, that relates to GKN, that relates to the GEN-1 engine, which provide materials. Boeing beside a subs that's a that like Nordea, the Wiregroup.
And actually that -- because this subcharter uses the weather master radon, we produced the materials for that produces and Patriot, advanced capability packers system. This is the big one. We'll talk about this a few times during the presentation that it relates to a company called AAE. We supply the materials for the third-party materials for the Rockies for the PAC-3.
And Grambling, you probably guessed it away. That's a Kratos design and built a reman drone. We don't have a picture for Middle River, but we'll cover them later on. Okay, let's keep going. Slide 12. Interesting comparison to fiscal '20 to '22, you see that the pie is kind of coming back more or less to fiscal '22 coming back to more or less would look like in '20, except military is a little down as compared to '21.
I'm going to '21 and -- our feeling with that is our military is really something we really feel good about, especially for the future, and we'll get that in a minute. But in fiscal '22, we think military was kind of held back because there were really big delays in approving the budget. The budget is now approved.
So we'll see what happens with that. Let's go on to Slide 13. Park loves niche military aerospace program. So we always do this for fun. This is a project that Dana and Elena work on every quarter coming up with some kind of fun stuff that parts involved with.
Sometimes it's with all niche stuff, sometimes it's not big volume, sometimes it is. So Boeing, RC-135 materials for structures, the MK-125 warhead for the SM6 missile that's materials for structures. That's on ablative actually, in that case, that structures. Collins-class submarine that's for the Australian Navy materials and materials for the Harrier.
Let's keep going. We'll keep track of the time here. I'll have to cover Slide 14. Okay. So we're going to do something a little different here. We're going to talk about trends in the military markets and talk about trends in the commercial markets. We haven't done that in prior quarters. So we're trying to provide a little bit of a different perspective for you, which we think is timely.
Military markets, trends and considerations, the new world order, what's a new world order, a sea change in attitudes about the defense industry and spending based on ore in Europe. Almost overnight, happen almost overnight and what a difference a war makes. The war is a horrible thing, of course, but it certainly has an impact -- has had an impact upon the global defense industry.
It seems that way anyway. I just talked about the U.S. defense appropriations bill was signed into law. So a defense industry is no longer in limbo and the 2023 defense budget includes additional spending increases, including for missile defense systems, and we'll talk about a lot of your missile defense systems, such as the PAC-3, we talked about that and a hypersonic missile systems such as SM3 missile, we're in that program as well.
Let's go on to Slide 15, continuing with military market trends. But Europe may be the real big defense spending store. We talked about DOS and everything what about Europe, because these products may be made in the U.S., but where they're being used and purchased? Certain countries like Germany have already significantly increased their defense budgets and many others are considering we're in the process of considering increasing their budgets.
And not surprisingly, what you -- not surprisingly at all the circumstances, what's the emphasis on missle systems? Well, I guess we know why that is because nobody likes missiles getting shut at the. So that's a big thing.
And I think that's kind of maybe a part at what do we call a sea change. We don't use that term paradigm shift to Park. So we use -- we don't like that. And don't forget about Asia. That's on a happy place these days either with everything going on with China and Taiwan. So Taiwan recently contract of upgrades to its factory missile system. Japan utilizes that packaging missile system, defense system as an essential part of the submission defense strategy, South Korea, and not surprisingly, realize the Park missile defense system to counter North Korea's ballistic missile capabilities.
Let's go on to Slide 16, still military markets, some trends about the New World Order. So Lockheed recently commented -- sorry, I'm resting a little bit commented that Russia's attack in Ukraine has boosted demand for their missile defense systems. Lockheed CEO stated, "we've got demand signals for SAD and PAC-3 from around the world to continue. When you see missiles in hospitals and train stations in Ukraine, governments are now taking that might be worthwhile. It might be worthwhile to have an effective missile defense system. You think so.
Next item, Aerojet, which is also a big contractor for the PAC-3 not significant increases in PAC-3 missile system activity just recently. So -- and Park's, as we've already commented, supports the factory missile fence system with specialty ablative composite materials. So here we go. What's the conclusion here? The strong trend toward increased sorry, defense spending in North America, Europe and Asia undeniable as far as I'm concerned, anyway.
But -- and there's a but, supply chain issues can least temporarily limit the speed of the ramp-up of the spend spending. And that's a significant item because the supply chain may not be able to respond as quickly as some of these countries want to upgrade their defense systems and they take a little while for the supply chain to catch up. That is always the case.
So why do we going to Slide 17? We covered defense trends now commercial areas, base markets and trends in consideration. A little more complicated, so it will take a little bit more to go through it. So let's start with Commercial aviation continues to recover, largely driven by continuing improvement in U.S., domestic and transatlantic. Single-aisle.
We talked about that a lot continues to lead the recovery of a wide-body single-aisle aircraft designed to service those domestic routes as well as a short-range international routes like TransAtlantic. U.S. domestic commercial aircraft will now running about 90% at pre-Covid levels. We've heard that's been reported in any way.
Even business travel, which lagged to personal air travel recovery appears to beginning to recover nicely. We're not have to go to a big jets. We're talking about business people traveling on commercial airlines. Analysts believe 2019 global aircraft levels be matched in 2023 surpassed in '24. Let's say about that. And then several U.S. air carriers recently reported strong passenger demand and increased our revenue guidance. recently commented that they plan to pass along jet fuel costs. Let's talk about that a little bit later to the customers, and they expect their customers to pay the increased ticket prices.
I just saw a report this morning on one of the financial news programs that just last month, ticket prices went up 18%. And don't hold me to a news program. Sometimes they get this stuff on, but not surprising. So Slide 18, continuing with commercial aircraft -- sorry, aerospace trends.
So all the signals seem to be quite positive. Happy days are here again. We're going to celebrate. And generally, higher jet fuel prices provide airlines with extra motivation to more quickly replace less fuel-efficient legacy aircraft and more the fuel vision monitor aircraft such as the A320neo.
As a general rule, higher jet fuel prices is a greater motivation. So generally speaking, airlines don't want to replace the legacy airplanes early because the economics don't or against that. But once the jet fuel prices get so high, then there's economic shift and then there's motivation to replace the legacy airplanes with a more moderate airplane more quickly.
The Neo is much more efficient fuel efficient, I should say, than the legacy A320 as comparison. Then you come to but, okay, big but here, though. Is there a limit to how much additional cost the market will be willing to absorb? Nobody talking about this too much. But it's our job to think and not just listen to what people say. Jet fuel is considered to be the largest piece of the operating cost pie for an airline.
And that was the case even before the sharp increases in jet fuel prices. Jet fuel cost approximately twice what it cost a year ago, resulting in a very significant -- very significant reasons in airline operating costs. That may even more than twice now because it seems like every week is up more and more.
In order to maintain their margins, airlines have significantly increased ticket prices. We're likely to increase them even more to keep up with those escalating jet fuel prices. Let's go to Slide 19. So it is true that people point this out, a lot of pent-up demand for air travel as the world recovers from the pandemic. And also, a lot of people lose money in our pockets, so people want to get out and stopping lockdown, want travel.
So there's no doubt about that. But -- and then we go back to the but again, are the individual and vision traveler is going to continue to be willing to pay the greatly escalated ticket prices forever and ever with no end of sight? Does that make sense really? Is that the logit? I don't know. That's a device history Oh yes, it's a price history. That's not how it's worked in the past.
Does it defy gravity? Well, I don't know, maybe it does. What about that dirty or word? What happens is their recession? Will people keep flying and paying the escalating ticket prices if the economy stalls out goes to reverse? So if you think about -- let's go on to Slide 20, still on commercial aerospace trends.
So it's something to think about while we're celebrating with exuberance, how great things are in commercial aviation. And of course, we have to ask if that's irrational. If people start flying less, will airlines be less on order to airplanes? Well, maybe something you consider anyway. If that happens, will commercial aircraft manufacturers scale back their production rates? And here's an interesting thing.
Some may and may not, something we consider. Now this is what may be where we get to this diverging duopoly things. Boeing is from what we call from their reports. They're focused on cash flow. Airbus from their reports, now, they're focused on dominating the single-aisle world. So the reaction may be different or Boeing may say, yes, they got to pull things in. Understandably, in my criticizing Boeing, Airbus may go the opposite direction.
So we'll get back to that later, but it's a real interesting thing to watch, especially if the economy slows down and goes into reverse. Let's go on to Slide 21. Slide 21. This is a slide that's in every presentation. So this is just kind of a review. We have that firm LTA requirements contract through 2029 with Middle River Aerostructure System, MRAS, which is a sub of ST Engineering. I always have to remind you that MRAS used to be sold of GE Aviation.
That explains who on all these GE Aviation programs. So we've got these programs when MRAS is still a sub GE Aviation. We built a redundant factory for them, a sole source for composite materials or engines -- sorry, and thrust reversers for the first 5. I checked items, we'll call the A320neo family of aircraft with LEAP-1A engines, 747, the 2 Comac airplanes and the Global 7500 aircraft.
Let's keep moving. I always like to point out this picture. That's -- those are Boeing 747 and -- look at the size of them compared to the guide background load that picture. Okay. Slide 22. So some new developments GE Aviation. This is kind of a nice Park's a new film heater product developed under a joint development MOU with agreement we called an MOU between MRAS and Park. Development of this film easier product taking a long, long time, but is complete. And now our new film is a product is undergoing qualification with MRAS.
It's very good news, very happy about that. It's a long process. Park's live strike protection LSV material, parts LSB material was also developed jointly with MRAS. It's currently in use by MRAS on the A320neo aircraft family and the Comac 919 program. We're still sourcing those 2 programs. That's good. That's not news though. But here's the news to slip parts LSV materials now in the process of being approved for use on the Global 7500 program that has past 20 engines. That's very good news for Park also.
I show the timing on these things, if I have some confidence about them, I would tell you, but I don't know. That's one. Same case containment wrap for the GEnx engines for the 777X aircraft. Well, this is really good news until about a week ago, after being dormant for almost two years, the fan case containment wrap program has become active again. There is still design risk. Remember, we told you about this that there could be a redesign of the fan case so that the containment wrap is not -- no longer necessary. But even if that happens, there's still a number of containment reps that need to be produced.
So we're very pleased to be back on that program at least for the time being. We actually were expecting POs like any day for this program, the very starting any day, then Boeing pulled the rug out from under rest. They think a lot of people by announcing they're pushing out the 777X entry into service until 2025. That's a 2-year delay.
So that's obviously disappointing. At this point, it's very unclear how that will impact the containment wrap program, but it obviously can lead to program delays. So that's a little bit of not a good news, but maybe some putting -- throwing some cold water on as well.
Let's go on to Slide 24. All right. So we spent a lot of time talking about the A320neo family with the LEAP-1A engines because it's so important to Park. This slide, we've had in, I think, 2 or 3 presentations already. This is where Airbus were kind of putting down the marker saying, this is what we're going to do. This was a year ago, May of last year. This is what we're going to do, okay?
As soon as they did that, the supply chain gets kind of freaked out and a lot of push back, a lot of goes too much, how can the supply chain support that. And so you got to be tension right away between our Airbus and supply chain. Let's go on to Slide 25. Just some background here in Airbus delivered 40 average 40 Neo family aircraft per month in 2021.
They said they wouldn't go below 40, they didn't even to be the pandemic said we can hold to 40, so many doubters, so many doubters, but they enter the word. Next item, currently delivering A320neo family aircraft a rate of 49 per month, which I think is pretty much what they're planning. So they're ramping up already.
And Airbus recently stated a plan and this is a big one, reached a rate of 65 A320neo family aircraft deliveries per month by the middle of next year, which is just 14 months from now. So obviously, for everyone to get to that rate, the supply chain needs to ramp up really before that date and maybe even now.
And in a recent speech, the Aviation Week raw material supply manufacturer supply, this is a conference where the Airbus people are talking to their suppliers. What do they say? He says, it's interesting. You need -- we need you, I mean the suppliers and the audience to follow Airbus' rate increased indications and have phased in the rate increases indicated by Airbus.
You also told the audience we kind of you not to second guess. So you see Airbus is getting a little bit impatient, a little bit now with the supply chain. That's my take on this anyway. Like stop questioning what we're doing, just get on board. So there's attention there.
Slide 26, GE Aviation. This is, I think, important recently stated publicly. We're experiencing an unprecedented ramp in lead production. And further stated, we're aligned with the. That means Airbus what we need to produce through 2023. So this is potentially significant because GE was GE Aviation, 1 of those companies and supply chain that was probably questioning the aggressiveness of Airbus has indicated the rate increases.
Okay, let's go to the next one. And it's been reported. This is a theme we keep going back to the current very high oil and jet fuel prices. We're motivating many legacy A320 operators consider upgrading A320NEO aircraft more quickly. Again, no much more fuel efficient than the legacy A320s. And then the last one, this is important kind of new, it's just very recent news, just on -- this was -- 1 year after the original indication, remember, May of last year, this I think was part of the Airbus Q1 earnings announcement.
Looking beyond 2022, we see continuing strong growth in commercial aircraft demand driven by the A320 family. As a result, we are now working with our industry partners to increase A320 family production rates to 75 aircraft a month in 2025. You see they're not backing down. We're actually doubling down. In the news release, they further stated Comac production of A320 family is progressing toward a monthly rate of 65 aircraft by summer 2030. That's the other thing I've been saying 65 a middle next year, 75 by 2025, filing analysis. This is important of global customer demand as well as assessment of industrial ecosystem readiness at the really the supply chain.
The company is now working with the suppliers and partners to enable monthly production rates of 75 in 2025. During the conference call, Airbus also said they assessed a large number of suppliers, and they're coming back and saying, "Okay, we've heard all the questions about it. We work with our suppliers, we're doing this. That's at least my take on it.
So Slide 27, let's keep going. At the end of March 2022, the LEAP-1A, CFM and a 57.4% share of A320 family aircraft orders. So this is the biller in. The A321neo has 2 approved engines. One is a LEAP way. That's the 1 we're on through CFM and the other 1 is a Pratt engine, which we're not on. So that percentage is really important because we're only on the LEAP portion, 57.4%. So assuming that 57.4% in which obviously goes up and down every month. But just let's use that number, that's the current number.
The 75 A320neo aircraft family per month represents approximately $28.75 million per year revenue Park starting in 2025. Last item, the -- we talk about this every quarter kind of a big thing. We don't have time, not so good. First slide expected this year, certification entry into service early 2024, very unique airplane for single aisle in terms of its seating capacity and range. 515 firm orders as of February 2022. And this is a big one, still no response from Boeing. Boeing does not have a response for this airplane, and we're not hearing anything.
So I don't know what to make of that, but it seems like Airbus is planning to own this space. less Boeing moves pretty quickly. Let's go on to Slide 28. Continuing on the GE Aviation jet engine program update, COMAC919. So that's post that's an important program for Pratt, both to be entering into service at the end of this year, we'll see. And then the Global 7500, produced 39 last year and they also leverage their 100th aircraft recently.
Let's go on to Slide 29. 747, we cover this every quarter. Volumes terminated in production of the 747.I guess the last 1 was post to delivered in October. This is a real sad thing for us because we just love this airplane, a real important airplane. Also, this is the first airplane with the first GE Aviation engine program that we got on back in 2014.
So it's sentimental for us as well. Slide 30. So we won't go through the history, you can reduct yourself at the bottom of the page, our forecast, this is a GE Aviation program, sale history -- sales history, history, the forecast for Q1, $6 million or $6.5 million Q1 is over 2.5 weeks, but there's still a lot of risk in Q1. And you see that's down. Q4 was $6.7 million. That's -- the reason it's down is 100% because of supply chain limitations, we believe.
So let's go on to the next item, which is the forecast for a Park's financial performance history and forecast estimates. Again, the top part of history, what's our forecast for sales for Q1, $12.75 million to $13.25 million. And the EBITDA, $2.75 million to $3.25 million.
So we're talking about not great numbers. But we're number at the beginning of the presentation, we're talking about Q4. We said we missed about $1 million of sales because of supply chain issues mostly. Well, these numbers take into account we're probably going to miss another $1 million of sales in Q1. In other words, if we had everything was great, the supply chain was there, we had everything we needed the sales would be a lot higher.
So let's keep going. Let's talk about some comments to our forecast and our outlook. First of all, forecasting is highly problematic and probably not even very meaningful in the current environment of supply chain chaos in this order. Predicting in the future in such an environment is somewhat of a guessing game probably more than someone forecasting for Park and GE Aviation programs is problematical even for Q1.
Q1 ends in 2.5 weeks. The thing is it's back-end loaded a lot for production for us because we have difficult getting raw materials. So the thing is there's a lot of risk even in the forecast we gave you, the forecast we gave you, takes into account a lot of stuff that we're not going to be able to ship in Q1 because of the supply chain issues.
But there's further risk because in order to get to the numbers we forecasted, things have to go well. There's a hiccup, and we have more disappointments with supply chain even those numbers are at risk. So I know that same strange, I have 2.5 weeks to go, how could there be so much risk? Well, we're living in very unusual times. Supply chain chaos disorder.
So it's very hard to predict things in that environment. It's really hard to predict 1 week out. So we talk about long-term forecast. Well, that's kind of silly. And we gave you a forecast would have long-term forecast and just have very little value. We know what your time is something that is a little value. However, and there's a big however. We believe we can provide meaningful just checking the time, it sits into our company outlook.
So let's break it down between military and commercial. Military first based upon the new world order goes by the war, we believe the outlook is quite promising for Park, particularly in the missile defense system area for reasons we discussed.
We believe there's no new order dynamic is also not a temporary thing. Believe it is an emerging longer term and sustainable phenomena. It's like the world kind of got a wake-up call here, and it's not going to go back to sleep. I mean, war is -- you can talk about is when you have a war. You see it on TV every day, what happens, it gets people's attention.
Obviously, if on Europe, it even gets more of your attention because it's in your backyard. People remember, well, I don't know, they're probably not on people so live, but that or 2, but they probably heard about it. About what could happen in Europe in other words, in the case of a war.
All right. Slide 33, how our session impact the outlook for our military business. We believe not much because there's too much at stake the country seeking to increase their rents budgets. There is, again, that little drag, which is the supply chain. But if you're concerned about missiles coming your way, you've probably prioritize your missile in system older other stuff, maybe fixed your roads or whatever other -- what our country spend our money on.
commercial Aircraft business outcome. This is a little more complicated, but let's go into it. Why don't we break it down by program is I think when you look at the key programs that helps us understand. A320neo, obviously, we're starting with that one. Airbus has aggressively attempting to aggressively push up the rates for this critical program, How would a recession impact this program? We believe Airbus is attempting to aggressively exploit what they believe as Boeing's perceived weakness in order to take as much single-aisle share as possible and to establish an irreversibly dominant position in single aisle.
As a result, we believe Airbus would at least could attempt to press your advantage more aggressively recessions that occur. This is kind of an important moment in time for commercial aircraft. I mean if you're American, you may not like it that much, but I think they believe there's a window of opportunity Airbus for them to break the duopoly permanently and take dominant share single aisle. Single hour is where it's at. So there are very confound mindset between Boeing and Airbus from what I could tell.
Airbus. Airbus see to be really aggressive. There's a recession. My guess is they'll go even more aggressively. So that's my guess. I don't know I'm right, I'm just kind of thinking a lot with you folks. I'm not -- nobody bars tell me stuff. I'm just reading what you can read on public information.
Slide 34. Let's talk about our Comac program. The RJ is small oil proband that we're spending a lot of time. And to see 919 has significant upside potential for Park once the aircraft are certified. How would a recession impact those programs? Difficult to say, but a key consideration is the aircraft are intended to be sold to the China market, a market controlled by a centralized China government. So 909 is an important prestige program for the Chinese government. They may press the program forward even a recession. Something think about.
Slide 35. Let's talk about that Global 7500 program. isn't yet, we're including in commercial just I guess, for simplicity in the presentation, clearly, a very key program for Bombardier. It's actually -- we believe it's a mandatory success program from Bombardier, but good news is they have been successful so far, clearly placing a great emphasis on the program.
How do recession impact that program? Interesting to think about, not completely clear, but it's possible that the success driver of the program will stay in place even during a recession. In a recession, a typical buyer of $40,000 you may hesitate, but would a recession slow down the typical buyer, the $73 million airplane.
I don't know, but if they're going to buy with a different kind of mindset. Clearly, the guy wants to buy that nice Chevy a lot. Although actually, there are no shoves on a lot right now because of the -- I guess, the chip shortages and other supply chain issues. But in theory, if there was a share a lot, the guy I could buy 1 400,000 you might hesitate.
Based upon the above consideration, this is the punchline here. Although there were serious concerns about the economy, inflation, workforce shortages and supply chain chaos, we believe the outlook for Park is actually quite positive based on what we just talked about.
Okay. We're going to try to hustle a little bit here. Changing gears quickly. It's a major expansion. We're not going to go through the numbers, except the second last item in qualifications in progress, but they haven't delayed as the supply chain issues, staffing limitations.
And just you know, those lines are being run operating for the qualification by R&D and engineering people. We do what we got to do, not what we prefer to do, but we do what we need to do. Everybody does what they need to do at Park.
So just quickly, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. But if you look at the top picture, that's the one of our new building -- well, it's actually the front of our existing building where we expanded the offices. The second floor in the middle, that's the most beautiful part of our expansion. It's a conference role. And we decided to do is dedicated died about 1.5 years ago to a very special employee of ours, a lot of hearts broker, which he died. So we decided to call this route, Linda observation deck in overseas, the airport property and the runway is a very beautiful room.
And we had a little dedication or family event. So I just wanted you to know about that. Let's go on to Slide 37, not a little bit departure here at James Webb Space Telescope, now about 1 million miles from earth. And rally, when you think about it, this baseball scope has a lot of our Sigma stretch and corporate infrastructure of the -- which called a bus, I think.
And so those little -- those not little those stretch were made a little factory and putting a little and quotes compared to 1 million miles and Kansas and another $1 million floating and space or betting one million miles from the year to Munis only 0.25 mile on year for perspective. And this , I guess it has to be extremely cold order for it to operate properly. So they have it in a real cold temperature, I just does kind of a final factor.
Let's keep going site short of time, of course. Let's -- okay? And we are serving time. Park's people, I always talk about parts people. So yes, this is our staffing crisis here or challenge. Maybe I shouldn't say crisis, but severe challenge. We only have 105 people, but we just added 7 people last week. So we were bumping along at 98, 99, 100 for a while there. Ideal people count for us would be 125, 128 minimum these are properly hot printed function 115.
So many other companies are drawing money of people you hear about everywhere no offering money to people to hire them. lots of money. Of course, it's a problem for us. It makes them more difficult to recruit people. They bid up people in short term and they are needed and short them for you investor people out there. You know what that means, throw them on a garbage sheet and are not by commodities to be traded like work bellies, part, it's kind of heartbreaking to see that.
We believe throwing money at people and paying them what they have not earned can be cool and hurtful to them. They can destroy their sense of dignity, sulfur spec, humanity and self-worth. it's clearly more difficult and challenging for Park to recruit people in a world where others are throwing money at people to recruit them on where parks not willing to do that. But Park, we stick to our principles, a matter how difficult or inconvenient throwing money of people as if they were commodities.
That's not for us. Our people, they're not commodities, our people are precious or people at family. Slide 39, a park of people earn everything they get. We don't give giveaways -- we think our people are compensated properly, but they're in what they get. So they have some dignity. No giveaways, no free lunches. We respected a mire of people too much to marginalize them, to moralize them, to humanize them by giving them stuff they haven't earned. -- that's mining to a person to do that. Tim the meaning what will happen if there's an economic downturn or a recession.
Well, those companies grow money at people, they're going to hold on to them, all the people they hire, what do you think? But Park, when we hire Park in a park or attitude is we hire life doesn't always lag. It doesn't always work out. They make -- maybe if they're not right for us, they won't stay. But that's our attitude anyway.
Throughout the depth of the pandemic and e-commerce, we kept all of our precious people, every last one of them. Remember that pandemic crisis where sales weren't kind of felt at a bed roughly, I don't know, just 1 off a cliff, I guess, you say.
Slide 20. Remember the pandemic uncertainty about whether world will even survive remember that 2 years ago, and we really didn't know what's going to happen. There's so much uncertainty, so much fear. What do we do? We do not let go of any of our people then. Would we like of any of our people if there's a recession, what do you tank.
Then let's keep on here's an interesting little one. culture strategy for practices term Peter Drucker made some of you know Peter Drucker as I can think of some of you folks out there listening, I'm sure know who he is. So how will we be able to make our Q4 EBITDA number was such a severely reduced workforce? Was it magic?
And then I'll think so. Our people work in very long hours, in some cases, 70-hour weeks, week in and week out. A dozen of our salaried people, including our VP and GM, worked a line during Q4, including the 3-day business weekend. That was Ps right before the end of Q4, and we had a lot of production really get out to make our numbers.
We'll be really asked our people to do it. They just did it. Understand how very fortunate and lucky we already have the wonderful people we have, understand why we love our people. That's a question. Item -- sorry, Slide 41 on a hustle here. People talk lots about strategies sometimes develop but fancy, I believe, consulting firms. We've got nothing against fancy consulting firms, but that's often where the strategies come from.
But this is the key thing that so many people miss some IV Leger's miss with a dedicated, motivated and inspired workforce, a company can move mountains. Without such a workforce, a company can move nothing. No matter how elegant their strategy might be. They don't get a strong in strategy, too, but it's our wonderful people who make us powerful and whole.
Updating our customer Flex program, we talk about this every quarter, so I won't read the numbers for you, except to say, critical program for Park. It'd be very difficult for us to really get done. We have to get done without that program. We love that program. Let's go on to Slide 42. Closing thoughts. We'll get there. Will there be a recession the excess in the economy and our society seems so extreme to us and they're sustainable. Will people be willing to continue to pay highly elevated prices.
We're almost everything. When money supply is being tightened and the days are cheap and easy money are coming to an end. Good things to continue that way forever. Does that make sense? So I'm to think about we're not autonomous of cores that we believe recession is likely under these circumstances. How do we feel about it? Well, we know it sounds harsh, but we hope there will be a recession because to us, that may be the only way some sense of balance, proprietary propriety, logic order and Sandy can be restored to the economy and our society.
What will we do differently a recession? Probably not much. Slide 43. Closing thoughts continue, principles are not cheap. So we're circling back principal to not cheap. The only count when it's in convened all true to them. You know what somebody has principles when it when they're holding true them when it's not going to be it's convenient, it doesn't matter.
It is inconvenient costly for to Neo confirmations in a world where many others are not doing so. But at Park, we do what we say we're going to do. a park, where does our bond? Doesn't matter how we convene is, how costly it is. Our word is our bond. We don't go against our word.
It is -- and I'm talking about pricing and appeal. I'm not talking about suppliers that are late. That's not their fault, lease their supply chain not supporting them. met pricing and a confirmed PO. And it's a convenient for Park, not to throw money at people know how to recruit them in a world where many others are doing just that. A Park or people are precious. Our people are not commodities to be bid up or sold short depending on which way the wind is blowing.
Others need to make their own choices about what matters to them and what does not. And we have to live with those choices. That's their business. but a part on our integrity of what matter most, at Park principles are not cheap.
Slide 44, what's extra part, really nothing new. Continue to press forward and continue to attack. We're not shy. We go after things aggressively. We continue to make money for our owners. That's something that we -- all our people understand is important.
We make money for owners. We always do. And that's our objective, anyway. And we keep doing it for the fences. We don't place more ball park. We're always swinging for the fences. And Park, we're not like the others. We're not pulling around here. We're looking to make an impact. We look to go for greatness, a park we play for keeps.
Last thing we always talk about is our picture, this is a little different because the people picture. This is not everybody. We tried to get everybody, but it was a storm and people couldn't make it, they have formed in Kansas. You've heard about that Wizard of us. And it's only about half our workforce. But we still do a company picture because really, we want to recognize everybody in Q4, everybody did such a great job.
And interestingly, that little thing above the that's a little above the folks. That's an actual Transco structure the day a through. So coppers stop, looking operating, Neoitdwas given to us as a. that copper stuff looking stuff, that's the actual live strike material. So you can kind of get a perspective on the size of the size and Transall engine the cells. So I think that covers it, how we do with time, not so good, 50 minutes. So operator, if there are any questions, Matt and I we happen to answer them.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] We have a question or comment from the line Brian Glenn from Olcott Square Investment.
Brian Glenn
I know there was -- this goes back to the quarter ended May 2020. There was a small buyback. It was like 137,000 shares and the stock price is about the same. The outlook from me as an outsider, looks tremendously better and more certain even if there is a ton of uncertainty. Back in May of 2020, we had no vaccine, no timing. Air travel was shut down globally.
And now it looks like you're getting larger exposure on some existing programs like the film adhesive for the 7500, the A320s ramping up. Those statements are out. You had your comments around China's Comac and then the military spend. And the stock price is about the same. So if it was cheap enough to buy back then what's changed in terms of any sort of repurchase, whether small or large now. .
Brian Shore
Okay. Yes. So that's a very good point. Right now, we're pretty much in a blackout. But it's something we need to consider. We haven't been real aggressive with buybacks, as I think you know our history is to use the return of capital cash more and actually use a special rather special dividends, more than buybacks. But thanks for the input, something consider. I just want to comment. Yes, I agree with you. The short-term forecast we can't even give you 1 it's such difficulty in the market right now.
I agree with you that the outlook, and it's hard to time the outlook because of all those short-term factories, let's call temporary factors, but I believe you're right. The outlook is positive. So time for the input, something for us to think about. I'm not going to be an answer, of course, but we'll discuss it -- we will discuss the next board meeting. So that's what I can tell you at this point.
Brian Glenn
Okay. Can you -- can you remind me of the A321, the SLR that you mentioned? Is that within that long-term agreement for MRAS? Or that's outside of it? I think you did mention it prior, and I just don't recall.
Brian Shore
It's within the LTA. So yes, that's a LEAP-1A engine. So that's all within the LTA.
Brian Glenn
Understood. And then I guess, last 1 if I can sneak it in. Any comments around the timing of actual workflow being done in the new facility and it might have even happened?
Brian Shore
The timing of work starting operating facility. Yes. Yes. So to the -- yes, go ahead, sorry.
Brian Glenn
Yes, yes.
Brian Shore
We're still going through the qualification. And as I said, that's been delayed. We've had to actually choose between the qualification and production, and we chose production. We don't want to disappoint our customers. So the qualification was delay just because raw material shortages and staffing.
As I said, the people that are actually running the equipment are people from R&D and engineering, which is not what we want. We want operators to be over there. So at this point, we're not being presale hard at qualification complete, which is good. So it could take a little while longer. But once we get the qualification complete, then we'll start producing in that factory for MRAS and other customers as well. But I don't have a hard timing for you on that. And it's kind of 1 of those things that's in flux based upon all the other supply chain issues that we're dealing with.
Operator
[Operator Instructions] I'm showing no additional questions in the queue at this time, sir.
Brian Shore
Thank you very much, operator. Thanks, everybody, for listening, hanging in there. I apologize these calls keep getting longer and longer. We do our best to rush through them. So anyway, so have a good day. And you always can reach Matt and me if you want to have any follow-up questions, we're happy to always take your questions. Have a great day. Thanks. Goodbye.
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for participating in today's conference. This concludes the program. You may now disconnect.

Ahmed Nur Said Elmi moved from London to join other members of his family including his sister Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis. My Somali sources have explained to me that Omar’s father wanted Elmi in town with the family to rescue him from the flagrantly homosexual lifestyle he was living in London. As I understand, Omar was to lend a hand in taking him from what their father saw as a dissolute life.
However, the project failed. Elmi returned to London a few years after he and Omar hitched their wagon to a marriage certificate under the auspices of Christian minister Wilecia Harris. Back in London, Elmi resumed living the gay life. Everyone who followed him on Instagram could see it, as several people pointed out to me at the time.
The Daily Mail republished historian Dominic Green’s June 2019 column that the Spectator had published under the magazine’s Cockburn pseudonym. The Daily Mail version of Dominic’s column is here. Doing the tabloid thing with the column, the Daily Mail included the photo below with the caption: “Omar’s second husband posted a selfie on Instagram yesterday [i.e., July 18, 2019] just before Trump spoke showing off the trending FaceApp face editor and comparing himself to Angelina Jolie.” The Daily Mail version of the column includes similar photographs grabbed from Elmi’s social media accounts.
This is a detail that adds to the absurdity of Omar’s cover story explaining her 2009 marriage to Elmi. The cover story is farcical. | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/05/beyond-madam-minitrue.php | 2022-05-14T02:59:25Z | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/05/beyond-madam-minitrue.php | false | 1 |

On June 2, 2022, Ontarians will head to the polls to elect the members of the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. With the election taking place on a weekday, employers and employees alike will be asking what obligations and rights they may have when it comes to voting.
Any “elector” — that is, any Canadian citizen who on the general polling day is 18 years of age and resides in an electoral district in Ontario — is entitled to three consecutive hours off from work to vote, as mandated by the Ontario Election Act.
In the upcoming election, polls will be open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. EDT. This means that employees working 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. will have the requisite three consecutive hours following the end of their workday at 5 p.m. until polls close to vote. However, if an employee does not have a consecutive three-hour window, the employer must provide time off to allow for that period and cannot withhold pay or penalize any employee by reason of their absence. However, an employer can do so at the time which is at their convenience. For example, if an employee is scheduled to begin work at 11 a.m. and finish at 7 p.m., the employer can choose to provide the employee an hour of paid time off at the beginning or end of their shift, which would provide for a three-hour window in either case.
An elector employee can voluntarily choose to waive their rights and not make a request of their employer for the voting window; however, an employer cannot deny the request to have the three-hour window if it is made, and cannot request proof of attending a polling station from the employee.
In some cases, employees may choose to serve as returning officers or are appointed by a returning officer to be a poll official. In such cases, they must request leave at least seven days in advance. Similarly, an employer must grant this request and must not penalize the employee. However, in this case, an employer is not required to remunerate an employee during such leave, although vacation time should continue to accrue during the period.
The Election Act outlines serious consequences for anyone interfering with an employee's right to their three hours to vote or for withholding pay. As such, any such interference should be avoided.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances. | https://www.mondaq.com:443/canada/employee-rights-labour-relations/1192752/election-time-in-ontario-and-employee-voting-rights | 2022-05-14T03:06:08Z | https://www.mondaq.com:443/canada/employee-rights-labour-relations/1192752/election-time-in-ontario-and-employee-voting-rights | true | 1 |
Two 'middlemen' have been arrested in connection with the alleged fraud during a kidney transplant procedure conducted at a private hospital here in March this year, police said on Friday.
A case was registered at the Koregaon Park police station in the city two days ago against 15 people including the managing trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic and some employees of the hospital based on a complaint lodged by the Maharashtra government's health department.
The accused also included the woman who donated her kidney, the recipient man and his wife.
"We have arrested two out of 15 accused -- Abhijit Gatne and Ravindra Rodge. They were produced before the court and remanded in police custody till May 18," said a police officer.
The two were allegedly the middlemen in the deal, he said.
The charity commissioner's office on Friday, meanwhile, said that it has initiated an inquiry against the hospital after taking note of the First Information Report.
As per the police, a woman from Kolhapur (an accused in the case) allegedly posed as the wife of a man who needed a transplant, and donated her kidney to a young woman patient. In turn, the young woman's mother donated her kidney to the man.
Such a swap involving two patients and their relatives is permissible when the patients cannot receive a kidney from their own kin because of the blood group mismatch.
On March 29, four days after undergoing the transplant surgery at Ruby Hall Clinic, the woman revealed, following a dispute over money, that she was not the man's real wife. She had been promised Rs 15 lakh for fraudulently posing as one, she claimed.
The hospital then alerted police. But the FIR named hospital authorities too for allegedly not verifying the documents before the surgery.

A Maryland resident in the city of Baltimore was inside her kitchen on Thursday evening when they heard shots fired.
At that moment, police said a pregnant woman and her child's father were shot and killed around 8 p.m. local time in North Baltimore. Their baby, who had to be delivered immediately, is fighting for its life.
“I was in my kitchen preparing some food and I heard some shots rang out," said the North Baltimore resident, who didn't want to be identified. "Afterwards, I stepped out onto the street and I saw people gathering around the truck that had been hit. I saw the woman, they put her on a stretcher and they put her into the ambulance then there was a man who they pulled out.”
MORE: Man, pregnant woman killed after two men shot into car in North Baltimore
Family members shared a picture of 38-year-old Angel Smith and her boyfriend, who police have not identified, who were gunned down in a car. Family members said they were expecting their second child together.
Police said two people in a car drove up next to them and fired shots.
The father was taken to Johns Hopkins where he died from his injuries. Smith was able to give emergency birth but died a short time after.
Family members said they leave behind a 1-year-old girl, and now a premature newborn birthed at 7 months.
“She was a person who was loved and had a community around her and she was looking forward to bringing a new life into the world," a neighbor said. "At the end of the day, you pulled the trigger, you killed a pregnant woman. Thankfully the life of the child was spared. Turn yourself in. You don’t deserve to walk around and live a free life and be happy and go about your day when a pregnant woman was taken out by your pulling the trigger so turn yourself in.”
Many neighbors said they are praying for these families who lost loved ones and praying for that newborn baby now fighting for its life.
The father's family has created a go fund me to help with funeral expenses.

Ferrari sits atop both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships, though its advantage has been cut sharply over the last two races.
Max Verstappen won last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix after starting third, picking off Carlos Sainz at the start before catching and passing Charles Leclerc during the first stint.
The Red Bull driver was then able to remain out front despite a late challenge from the championship leader, his extra top speed allowing him to remain out of reach at the end of the DRS zones.
It was a compromise with set-up Ferrari was aware of heading into the race, reasoning a higher downforce level would be the better option.
“We are running a bit more downforce, in terms of wing configurations, lacking speed on the straight, but normally gaining a bit more on the corners,” Ferrari boss Binotto said of Sunday’s race.
Red Bull has enjoyed solid pace throughout 2022, the RB18 seemingly able to generate similar levels of grip to Ferrari’s F1-75 but at a lower downforce level.
The Scuderia has been reserved in its upgrades thus far, reasoning that it’s better to bring substantial updates that make a difference in order to maximise the potential available to it under the budget cap.
“I always said that you should have wait five races at least to assess the proper competitiveness within the cars,” Binotto explained.
“Now five races has gone, we are leading both championships which is great, so we should not be too disappointed.
“But it’s true that Red Bull improved their car since the very start of the season, that’s why they introduced upgrades.
“If I look at the last two races, maybe they got a couple of tenths per lap faster to us now.”
Suggestion in the paddock is that Red Bull has managed to shed a considerable amount of weight from the RB18, which was thought to be one of the heavier cars on the grid.
Most 2022 machinery is above the amended minimum weight of 798 kg.
“It’s no doubt that in order to keep the pace, we need to develop on ourselves and produce updates,” Binotto said.
“I hope, because there is as well a budget cap, at some stage Red Bull will be stop developing.
“As it was I think I would not understand how they can do that, but let’s say that in the next races it could be at least our turn to try to develop as much as we can the car by introducing updates.
“We do not have the money to spend for upgrades at every single race,” he added when asked if there would now be a steady stream of development parts finding their way onto the cars.
“I think that it’s as simple as that. Not because of reliability but because of budget cap.
“So we need somehow to try to focus the development on when we believe it’s the right moment and the right spending.”
Next weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix looks set to be one such occasion, with Binotto revealing the team will have an update, though he refused to offer more than that.
“I think it’s not a surprise that we may have a package in Barcelona, which will be important for us,” he said.
“I hope that the package we are producing is working as expected, and in that case can be a good boost in order to try to catch up the current gap we’ve got to the Red Bull.”
The Spanish Grand Prix runs from May 20-22. | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/05/14/ferrari-hopeful-red-bull-will-stop-developing/ | 2022-05-14T03:18:09Z | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/05/14/ferrari-hopeful-red-bull-will-stop-developing/ | false | 1 |
U.S. troops, in their push for mainland Japan, landed on Okinawa's main island on April 1, 1945.
The battle lasted until late June, killing about 200,000 people, nearly half of them Okinawan residents, including students and victims of mass suicides ordered by the Japanese military.
Okinawa was sacrificed by Japan's imperial army to defend the mainland, historians say. The island group remained under U.S. occupation for 20 years longer than most of Japan, until 1972.
___
WHY WAS OKINAWA OCCUPIED?
The U.S. military recognized Okinawa's strategic importance for Pacific security and planned to maintain its troop presence to deter Russia and communism in the region.
A 1946 decision by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, separated Okinawa and several other southwestern remote islands from the rest of Japan, paving the way for U.S. rule beyond April 28, 1952, when the San Francisco treaty took effect, ending the seven-year U.S. occupation in the rest of Japan.
According to the Okinawa Prefectural Archives, imperial advisor Hidenari Terasaki told MacArthur of Emperor Hirohito’s “opinion” that the U.S. military occupation of Okinawa should continue to address worries about Russia.
Economic, educational and social development in Okinawa lagged behind as Japan enjoyed a postwar economic surge that was helped by lower defense spending because of the U.S. military presence in Okinawa.
___
HOW DO OKINAWANS REMEMBER U.S. RULE?
During U.S. rule, Okinawans used the dollar and followed American traffic laws, and any trips between Okinawa and mainland Japan required passports.
The base-dependent economy hampered the growth of local industry. The local Okinawan government had little decision-making power, and authorities had no access to the criminal investigation of U.S. military personnel.
Demands for reversion to Japan rose in the late 1950s across Okinawa over the confiscation of local land for U.S. bases.
Many Okinawans demanded tax reform, wage increases and better social welfare systems to correct disparities between Okinawa and the rest of Japan.
But the delayed reversion, the heavy U.S. military presence and mismanaged development funds from the central government have hampered the island’s economic development, experts say.
___
WHAT ARE OKINAWA'S MAIN PROBLEMS TODAY?
Many on Okinawa had hoped that the island's return to Japan would improve the economy and human rights situation. A year before the reversion, then-Okinawa leader Chobyo Yara submitted a petition asking Japan’s central government to make the island free of military bases.
Today, however, a majority of the 50,000 U.S. troops based in Japan under a bilateral security pact and 70% of military facilities are on Okinawa, which accounts for only 0.6% of Japanese land. The burden has increased from less than 60% in 1972 because unwelcomed U.S. bases were moved from the mainland.
Okinawa’s average household income is the lowest and its unemployment is the highest of Japan's 47 prefectures. If land taken by the U.S. military is returned to the prefecture for other use, it would produce three times more income for Okinawa than the island now makes from bases, Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki said.
Because of the U.S. bases, Okinawa faces noise, pollution, aircraft accidents and crime related to American troops, Tamaki said. A recent NHK television survey showed 82% of respondents in Okinawa expressed fear of being the victim of base-related crime or accidents.
The biggest sticking point between Okinawa and Tokyo is the central government’s insistence that a U.S. marine base in a crowded neighborhood, the Futenma air station, should be moved within Okinawa instead of moving it elsewhere as demanded by many Okinawans. Tokyo and Washington initially agreed in 1996 to close the station after the 1995 rape of a schoolgirl by three U.S. military personnel led to a massive anti-base movement.
Despite 72% opposition in Okinawa's 2019 referendum, Tokyo has forced the construction of a new runway at Henoko Bay off Okinawa’s eastern coast. Opponents have cited environmental destruction, structural problems and soaring costs. But the prospects for completion remain uncertain.
Tamaki earlier in May adopted a new petition demanding from Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's government a significant reduction of the U.S. military on Okinawa, the immediate closure of the Futenma base and the scrapping of the Henoko base construction.
Adding to Okinawa’s fears is the rapid deployment of Japanese missile defense and amphibious capabilities on Okinawa’s outer islands, including Ishigaki, Miyako and Yonaguni, which are close to geopolitical hotspots like Taiwan.
___
HOW DO OKINAWANS FEEL TODAY?
Resentment over the heavy presence of U.S. troops runs deep. Many Okinawans believe their sacrifice made possible the post-World War II Japan-U.S. security alliance.
There are also ancient tensions between Okinawa and the Japanese mainland, which annexed the islands, formerly the independent kingdom of the Ryukus, in 1879.
There are complaints of discrimination and claims that Okinawans are forced to serve an “expendable role to protect mainland Japan," said Hiromori Maedomari, an Okinawa International University politics professor.
Some people have started calling for independence from Japan.
After seeing their requests repeatedly ignored, many Okinawans, including younger generations for whom U.S. bases are part of their daily lives, feel there is no use speaking out, said Jinshiro Motoyama, 31, a key organizer of the 2019 referendum.
There are worries that calls by ruling lawmakers for a further military buildup amid rising tensions around nearby Taiwan could increase the risk of war.
”I'm afraid plans are being made on the premise that Okinawan people can be victimized in a conflict," Motoyama said.

It’s an unlucky Friday the 13th for Drake.
The rapper shared his recent animal trouble in a video on Instagram.
“Hottest day of the year and we can’t even enjoy the backyard because we’re being f–king bullied by these two right here,” Drake said in an Instagram story. “Who have literally s–t on every inch of the property.”
The video showed the yard of the rapper’s luxurious home with two Canadian geese planted right in the middle of it.
The geese aren’t the only trouble he’s having, either.
In another video, he revealed that a family of ducks have also moved into his yard. The geese have been occupying his yard for a month and a half, reports DailyHive.

Chandigarh, May 13
The Punjab and Haryana High Court today stayed the demolition of Janata Colony, Sector 25. The order will remain in operation at least till June 1 — the next date of hearing in the matter. The order was directed to be conveyed telephonically to the Adviser to the UT Administrator, the Secretary concerned and the Deputy Commissioner.
The competent authority not less in rank than the Secretary, Housing and Urban Development, was also directed to file his “own” affidavit in reply to each paragraph of the writ petition filed in the matter before the court. He was further directed to state as to whether the petitioners were covered by the eligibility conditions set down under the provisions of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 2015. In case they were not, the Secretary was asked to give detailed reasons.
The direction by the Bench of Justice Amol Rattan Singh and Justice Lalit Batra came on a petition filed by Davinder and other petitioners against the UT and other respondents. At the onset, counsel for the petitioners pointed at the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and clauses 4 and 4.1 on “in-situ” slum rehabilitation using land as a resource with private participation for providing houses to eligible slum dwellers. Responding to the court query whether the petitioners’ case was considered under the scheme, the UT counsel submitted that their eligibility was considered under the Small Flats Scheme, 2006, but they were found ineligible.
He also referred to an order passed by a co-ordinate Bench on a public interest litigation. “Upon a query to him as to whether the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana of 2015 is also a subject matter of that petition, he fairly submits that it is not. If that is so, we do not see how citing a scheme of the year 2006 and a petition in which the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana of 2015 is not even an issue, can even vaguely determine the case of the petitioners,” the Bench added.
Before parting with the case, the Bench added that the colony in which the petitioners were residing would not be demolished till the next date of hearing “in view of what was contained in clause 4 of the scheme. Then petitioners had, among other things, sought the quashing of the impugned notice issued in the matter on May 3 on the grounds of being illegal, arbitrary, unreasonable and, therefore, in violation of Article 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution.

CHICAGO (WGN) — This downtown Chicago condo comes with a purple, gold, pink and zebra-like stripes baked into the “wow” factor, and it’s for sale.
A recently listed 1,415-square-foot condo at 1516 N. State Parkway features a large living room, separate formal dining room, kitchen, two full bathrooms, two full bedrooms, and plenty of personality.
Pam Lynch, the listing realtor, describes the space – pictured in photos provided by @properties – as having wonderful hints of “Old Hollywood” and accents of the romantic Art Deco era.
Purple and gold are the dominant colors throughout the main living space and second bathroom.
Walk the gold runner, past the purple walls, and find yourself in the master suite where things transition to dark woods and black-and-white, zigzagging chevrons. Its ensuite bathroom pops with pink around its whirlpool tub, vanity table and marble countertops.
The realtor understands if this palette does fit your feng shui and has included a few photoshopped examples of how the layout could look with a subtler style.
The condo is currently listed at $420,000, not including additional assessments and fees should the future buyer want a parking space or two. | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/look-inside-this-glammed-out-chicago-condo/ | 2022-05-14T03:41:17Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/national/look-inside-this-glammed-out-chicago-condo/ | true | 26 |
KEY POINTS:
- Making time for yourself needs to be a priority and the best thing you can do for your mental health, aside from taking "mini-breaks", is talk. It costs nothing to chat with a mate, join a men's group, or ask your GP about accessing free counselling.
If you're feeling low, it's often suggested that you join the gym, see a therapist, or read a self-help book. But they all involve money and time. So, how do you tackle mental clarity when you're lacking those things? Carly Gibbs asked the experts.
What if tackling your mental health started right now, by giving up a mere five minutes.
You start by playing your favourite song, then walk outside to your garden.
Stand still, feel the sun on your face, and listen to the birds.
Sit down on the grass and take out your cellphone. Text a friend: "Was just thinking of you".
These steps are important because big actions won't always solve your mental health problems, but "mini-breaks" can really make a difference, leading psychologist Dr Kirsty Ross of Massey University says.
"Doing something that brings you joy - savouring a coffee, soaking in the bath, exercising your brain with a puzzle is supporting mental health.
"Ask yourself 'what are my needs in terms of body, mind, spirit and connection?'"

Advertise with NZME.Also allow yourself to experience your emotions, rather than talk yourself out of them.
"Emotions are information that tells you about an unmet need you have," Ross says.
There's also good research behind expressing gratitude; altruism (doing something nice for someone else) and thinking about things broader than yourself like working in nature.
"That can give a sense of spiritual connection to the land, but also connecting to your spiritual self is positive - be it meditation, prayer, or whatever feeds your soul."
No matter how busy you are, prioritise yourself.
"Have boundaries and be assertive to create space for your own needs, which sometimes means saying no and not feeling guilty for doing so."
Access free counselling
It also requires you to be brave.

Advertise with NZME.If you feel you need to go and see your GP, do so, even if money is a problem for you.
Dr Anna Rolleston, director of The Centre for Health, says if a person can make it to the doctor, one-on-one counselling can be free through a doctor's referral to the Primary Health Organisation, and there are other avenues the doctor can refer a person to, and medications, that are funded by the system.
Also, check whether your workplace offers an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential and unbiased help.
If getting time off work, or juggling childcare is a problem, there are virtual or phone sessions for health appointments - a positive that has come out of Covid.
If you need help with financing, Budget Advice offers free Zoom appointments at night for those who are working.
Mentors can speak with creditors, negotiate payment plans, source interest-free or low-interest loans, and support you while you get back on your feet.
Rolleston's general advice is to remember that life has its ups and downs and good mental health is about being okay with that, as opposed to trying to live a perfect life.
She suggests making a plan of coping mechanisms; learning mindfulness and diaphragmatic breathing techniques, and deleting or regularly limiting access to social media.
"Social media is where everyone puts up the best bits of their lives. It's not their entire reality, but when we're down, they make us feel more down for the things we don't have, or where we want to be."
Reach out to groups
Tauranga banker Rodney Phillips, 40, says if you're able to get a referral for free counselling, it's worth attending and he's seen positive results of counselling in a family member who learnt self-awareness around their different triggers and developed strategies to help deal with particular feelings.
"The change is just dramatic," he says.
"The happiness that has been felt now compared to the past is huge, [after] what seems like a relatively small engagement with someone who is qualified to deal with it."
If you can't talk to someone qualified, talk to a mate. If you haven't got a close mate, join a group targeted at your age and interests, like Men's Shed NZ, many of which provide "honest chat" and are free to attend.
"Men can be hesitant about going, but as soon as they get there and have that open and frank discussion, it can save their lives."
Phillips is one of four Pāpāmoa pals who recently returned from a 12-day journey travelling 6500km around New Zealand visiting 24 lighthouses, speaking with people, and meeting with community organisations to raise awareness of men's mental health issues.
The mates, who met through their kids' daycare, have all had their own brushes with the black dog, and formed a charitable organisation called The Lighthouse Project, which refers both to lighthouses as a metaphorical "shining light" for those with depression, and to the many targeted, and sometimes under-the-radar grassroots organisations that act as the lighthouses of our communities for men in need.
Luke McFarlane, 38, along with Matt Tope, 31, Jamie Wilson, 40, and Rodney Phillips called their mission the Sweet? Nah... Find Your Lighthouse Tour in recognition of the dismissive responses men sometimes give while hiding their real emotions.
They're halfway to achieving a goal of raising $100,000 for local community mental health organisations and charities by the end of May.
It's okay to be selfish with your time
The men agree that in tough times you need to "take your focus away from day-to-day strains".
"For me, if I don't have a good day at work, coming home and doing some simple chores just so I feel like I've finished something for the day [can be good]," Phillips says.
"We all have those bad days, right? And instead of letting tomorrow turn into a bad day, let's try and break out of it.
"You might have a message from your boss saying 'come and see me on Friday', and you sit there all week thinking the worst. You've got to be self-aware as to how you respond to certain types of stresses.
"Understanding that you might need to take some time to yourself, or take time with another person to talk through your frustrations and clear your head, rather than let it stew. Find that lighthouse, the person or that activity, that's going to keep you going."
What's more, have realistic expectations. If you have a problem or "screw up", know that we all do it, and someone is always going to be there to support you.
The men advocate being self-aware enough to know that you need to talk, and aware of your mates enough to know that they need to talk.
If you ask your mate if they're okay and you receive a blithe response, keep asking.
Tauranga therapist and social worker Merril Simmons-Hansen says there's power in finding words for your experiences of abuse, economic poverty or isolation, which in turn helps you to reimagine your life, including how social wealth has the power to lift you up beyond economic poverty.
"You think depression is just you, but as you find words, you find the 'you' of you is agentic, and you have a point of view that can greater encounter the depressive episodes.
"Martin Luther King jnr said 'our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter'."
All of us, unless we're really great bulls***ters, must feel that poverty of connection and hopelessness at times, particularly in the current age we live in.
Calling a free helpline (available 24/7) allows you to throw out words in the company of someone who is trained to encourage you to be more specific.
"What is the blackness you're feeling?' they may ask. Those call lines and online websites guide you through a series of steps that have been well thought out."
And remember: "All of us, unless we're really great bulls***ters, must feel that poverty of connection and hopelessness at times, particularly in the current age we live in.
"My grandmother who lived to 95 said to me 'this. too, will not kill me' and she'd lived through WWI, WWII, the depression, and came over here on a boat with two small children, with no money. I often think of her voice. There must be a way you can get through the next hour."
WHERE TO GET HELP:
If you are worried about your or someone else's mental health, the best place to get help is your GP or local mental health provider. However, if you or someone else is in danger or endangering others, call the police immediately on 111.
OR IF YOU NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE:
