When the New York Rangers came back from Pittsburgh earlier in the week, they were on the brink of being eliminated by the Penguins after two bad losses on the road.
Following two spirited comeback wins, they return home for a deciding Game 7 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night (7 p.m. EDT, TBS) with some momentum on their side.
"Game 7 is huge for us and now we've got to make sure we finish it off tomorrow and play the right way," Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said Saturday. "We worked hard to get back. I think everybody's really excited. ... It's a big game, for sure. It's a lot of fun and I look forward to it."
After falling into a 3-1 series hole, the Rangers have a pair of 5-3 wins — at home and then back on the road — to even the series. In each of the last two wins, they fell behind 2-0 before surging ahead with three consecutive goals in the second periods and letting the Penguins tie it again. New York then pulled away in the third periods.
Gallant said he isn't concerned by the team's seemingly slow starts as long as they end up winning.
"As long as we finish the right way, I don't care. It's all about winning the hockey game," he said. "It's worked out for us so far, but I don't like it obviously."
Clawing back from a deficit is nothing new for these Rangers. During the regular season, they had 27 comeback wins — just two fewer than the league-leading Florida Panthers.
"We show no quit — that's what I love about this team," Mika Zibanejad said after the latest win. "We've shown it throughout the year, throughout this series. ... It's something special about this group and we're going to try to keep it going."
The Penguins have been through this before as it's they are 3-0 in Game 7s under coach Mike Sullivan, including the deciding game on the road against Washington in the second round of the 2017 playoffs.
"We're confident in our game plan," Pittsburgh forward Jeff Carter said. "If you go in with the right mindset and you leave it all out there, most of the time you're going to come out on top. That's what we'll look to do."
The Penguins could get a boost with the possible return injured players Sidney Crosby, Tristan Jarry and Rickard Rakell. They all practiced Saturday and will travel to New York for the series finale. Jarry has not played since April 14, Rakell was injured in Game 1 of this series, and Crosby left in the second period of Game 5.
This is the fourth time in franchise history the Rangers have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-1 in a series. Forward Chris Kreider is the only player who was around the last two times they did it — the second round against the Penguins in 2014 and second round against Washington in 2015 — and won each of the deciding games.
His message to his teammates is simple.
"Just need to settle down and get to our game," Kreider said. "I think we've been doing a better job of that over the last two games. ... We've been treating every game since we've been down like it's a Game 7, it's been do or die for us, so nothing changes."
STARS at FLAMES, series tied 3-3 (9:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN2)
The wild-card Stars won Game 6 at home to force the fifth Game 7 of the first round, trailing only the 1992 division semifinals (six) for the most in a single round of the playoffs in NHL history.
"The league wants to make it competitive and tight, they got it," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said. "It's a tough league and it shows how the competitive balance is there. I know we're not supposed to still be playing. We're supposed to be on a golf vacation right now, but that wasn't our intention going in. We didn't get in the playoffs to be someone else's steppingstone for the second round."
Though the Flames will be playing their first Game 7 since the first round of the 2008 playoffs against San Jose, coach Darryl Sutter is a master of the deciding games. At 7-3, he's the league leader in coaching wins in a Game 7 and will become the leader for the most Game 7 appearances. It will be his first leading the Los Angeles Kings to three road series finale wins en route to the 2014 Stanley Cup title.
The Stars were last in a Game 7 in the second round of the 2020 playoffs against Colorado in the bubble at Edmonton, on the way to their run to the Stanley Cup Final.
Bowness is uncertain about the status of forward Luke Glendening, who took a hard hit from Calgary's Nikita Zadorov early in the second period of Game 6. There was no penalty called on the play, but Glendening was down on the ice for several minutes and headed to the locker room. He was on the bench for the third period, but did not play.

HOUSTON (AP) — Adalberto Carrasquilla and Darwin Quintero scored goals and the Houston Dynamo beat Nashville FC 2-0 on Saturday.
Steve Clark stopped all four shots he faced for the Dynamo (4-4-3), who finished the match a man down after Adam Lundqvist drew a red card in the 52nd minute. The win snaps a three-game losing streak for Houston.
Carrasquilla's goal staked Houston to a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Quintero's tally came one minute after Lundqvist's exit.
Nashville (4-4-3) outshot the Dynamo 12-7. Both teams had four shots on goal.
Joe Willis saved two of the four shots he faced for Nashville.

Squirrels hold off Senators late to win 7-4, pick up fourth win of series
With a career-high two home runs from Brandon Martorano, the Richmond Flying Squirrels soared to a 7-4 win over the Harrisburg Senators Saturday night at FNB Field.
Six of the seven runs the Flying Squirrels (20-12) scored were off home runs. The team has launched 10 homers over five games on the road trip.
In the sixth inning with runners at first and second, Martorano rocketed a go-ahead, three-run homer off Senators reliever Andrew Lee that propelled the Flying Squirrels to a 5-2 advantage.
The Senators (15-16) shortened the deficit to 5-4 in the seventh inning when Drew Millas smacked a two-RBI double into center field.
Simon Whiteman added an insurance run for Richmond in the eighth, working a nine-pitch walk with the bases loaded that scored Martorano from third base.
With two outs in the top of the top of the ninth, Martorano whacked a solo home run of the game to extend Richmond’s advantage to 7-4. Martorano tied a career-high four RBIs in his 2-for-3 performance and has collected nine RBIs in the series. Ryan Walker (Save, 1) entered in the bottom of the ninth with two runners on and set down two batters to secure the win.
Brett Auerbach launched the Flying Squirrels to a 2-0 lead in the third inning with a two-run homer, his fourth of the season. Auerbach’s homer was one of three hits Harrisburg starter Evan Lee (Loss, 0-2) allowed four runs over 5.2 innings with a season-high nine strikeouts.
In the bottom of the third, Jake Alu knocked an RBI single that scored Jecksson Flores from first base and moved the score to 2-1.
Harrisburg evened the score, 2-2, in the fifth inning when Wilson Garcia lined an 0-and-2 pitch into center field for an RBI single.
Richmond starter Kai-Wei Teng (Win, 1-3) allowed two runs, six hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
The series concludes on Sunday with first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Right-handed pitcher Bryan Brickhouse (1-1, 5.04) will make the start for the Flying Squirrels opposed by right-hander Ronald Herrera (1-2, 5.01) for the Senators.
The Flying Squirrels return home May 24-29 for a six-game series against the Hartford Yard Goats. Tickets are available online at SquirrelsBaseball.com/Tickets, by phone at 804-359-3866 or in person at the Flying Squirrels ticket office. | https://augustafreepress.com/squirrels-hold-off-senators-late-to-win-7-4-pick-up-fourth-win-of-series/ | 2022-05-15T04:43:43Z | https://augustafreepress.com/squirrels-hold-off-senators-late-to-win-7-4-pick-up-fourth-win-of-series/ | true | 1 |

Local company celebrating anniversary with big charity party
A Barrie-based company has big plans to celebrate a significant anniversary next month while giving back at the same time.
The Lice Squad will be marking its 20th anniversary with a major celebration featuring retro music, classic cars and skydiving. While promising fun for all, it will also double as a charity fundraiser for two Simcoe County women's shelters.
"We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to invite people to come out, get dressed up and enjoy a back to the 80's benefit concert and superhero skydive," says Dawn Mucci, the CEO of The Lice Squad. "It wasn't hard for people to say yes because taking a leap out of an airplane equates to the bravery and courage that it takes for a woman to take the leap out of an abusive relationship."
On June 17, those brave enough to dive from the sky will meet up at 11 a.m. in Wasaga Beach at the Edenvale Aerodome. Those divers will land in Klondike Park.
Later that day, a car show and concert featuring 80s music will take over, with all funds going towards the Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie and My Friend's House of Wasaga Beach.
"The Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie has been over capacity for years. When COVID hit, that really increased for us," says Teresa MacLennan, Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie's executive director. "We really encourage our community to come out, support the event and just know that you are making a great difference in the lives of the women and their children."

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop will have its grand opening in Auburn this July and is looking to hire 25 employees.
The North Carolina-based company proudly employs individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“I honestly teared up when I read that we had a place like this,” said Katie Grizzle, the mother of an 8-year-old son with autism. “I’ve seen other places like this and I’ve always hoped we would have a place like this.”
On April 30, the company held its first local hiring fair as it searches for drink makers, greeters and cashiers for a Bitty and Beau’s on the first floor of the AuburnBank Center.
Other local parents are also encouraged by the mission of the coffee shop.
Lisa Self, who has a son with autism, said people underestimate children with special needs.
“The part that gets me is a lot of times people won’t give them a chance, and they don’t realize what they really can do,” Self said.
Michelle Norwood also has a business that employs people with disabilities after being inspired by Hunter, her son with Down syndrome. She opened an ice cream truck in 2018, and together they have scooped ice cream across town.
“It has given them just an opportunity to show the world how much ability is within any disability,” Norwood said. “The world shouldn’t run people off just because they may have weaknesses, because what I found is we all do.”
Bitty and Beau’s aims to create a welcoming community through their business, said Kate Harrington, a shift leader at the company’s Wilmington, North Carolina, location.
“The hiring process is really great because we don’t want it to be intimidating,” she said.
Applicants are asked to pre-register online and fill out an application on the day of the interview. Instead of one-on-one meetings, Bitty and Beau’s conducts group interviews with three to four candidates at once.
“We don’t really need to know why they’re such a good fit for this company,” Harrington said. “We know they’re a good fit, and we just want to make sure their personalities are shining.”
Once hired, they will be placed in a position that best meets their strengths and trained in a group setting a few days before the grand opening.
“You might have to put a little more time into training someone with an intellectual disability,” Norwood said, “but when they learn a skill, they’ve learned it to fidelity and they take it serious.”
Local businesses like Kroger and Publix also hire people with disabilities.
“It just erases the stigma of being afraid or nervous or not knowing what to expect when you hire someone with a disability,” Harrington said.
Organizations like the Exceptional Foundation of East Alabama, Auburn University’s EAGLES Program and Auburn High School’s Tiger Mochas are other resources in the area where those with disabilities can learn skills and make friends.
Toni Cartlidge, mother to a son with high-functioning autism, hopes to see more inclusive measures taken locally.
“There’s not too many places where our kids can go and feel safe and feel comfortable and not judged,” Cartlidge said.
In Auburn and Opelika, employing people with disabilities is a growing concept, and companies are discovering methods to make the process seamless.
Instead of using customer names, Bitty and Beau’s uses playing cards to lessen confusion. A customer placing an order receives a playing card that will be called out by the greeters when the item is ready.
Employee shifts at the coffee shop range from two to four hours.
“We can really get in there and normalize these amazing people with disabilities that are going to make your day and do a great job at their job,” Harrington said, “and they feel really good about it.”
The Bitty and Beau’s in Auburn plans to open before the end of the summer.
“I hope that it’s going to bring the community together and bring more awareness to special needs,” Grizzle said. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Coffee-shop-in-Auburn-to-hire-people-with-special-17173837.php | 2022-05-15T05:06:44Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Coffee-shop-in-Auburn-to-hire-people-with-special-17173837.php | true | 13 |

Big Drop in Russia’s Diesel Exports as Buyers Shun Nation’s Oil
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Diesel exports from Russia fell sharply in April from their prewar level as oil buyers seek to punish one of the world’s biggest suppliers.
Shipments of diesel-type fuel out of Russia’s Baltic and Black sea ports were about half-a-million tons, or 14%, lower last month than in February -- the last few days of which marked the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to data from Vortexa Ltd. Three people involved in the diesel market reported falls of a similar magnitude.
The global diesel market already is extremely tight, and Russia is a major supplier. Last month’s drop in exports may not be as significant as some expected, but two people involved in trading diesel expect May’s shipments to decline even more. The European Union’s proposed sanctions also could significantly hamper future trade-flows if implemented.
“The largest decrease can be seen from the Black Sea ports as self-sanctioning starts to kick in by certain European countries,” said Pamela Munger, senior market analyst at Vortexa. “The UK, France and Italy have all reduced imports of Russian diesel.”
The diesel exports were 3.32 million tons in April, compared with 3.88 million tons in February, according to Vortexa data. Two people involved in the diesel market reported similar differences of about 500,000 tons between these two months, while a third saw a slightly bigger drop.
Exports from Primorsk -- Russia’s main port for shipping diesel abroad -- are set to drop by about 30% this month, according to loading plans seen by Bloomberg. Rosneft PJSC, normally one of the larger suppliers, is notably absent from the May list.
The U.S. banned imports of Russian oil, and the U.K. pledged to phase them out by year’s end. Many European companies also are shunning Russian energy.

While some European countries have reduced imports of Russian diesel, others -- most notably the Netherlands and Turkey -- have ramped them up, Munger said. One ship carrying Russia-loaded diesel, the Sunny Liger, recently was turned away from multiple ports in northwest Europe and now is sailing toward Gibraltar.
Dealing in Russian oil is set to become much harder starting May 15 as EU sanctions kick in, according to Vitol Group, the world’s biggest independent crude-oil trader. The EU also proposed banning Russian crude oil during the next six months and refined fuels by early January.
“Looking forward, we could see a drop in Russian diesel exports as Russia seeks alternative buyers and Europe looks for alternative sources,” Munger said.

Australia PM makes final push for re-election
Issued on: Modified:
Sydney (AFP) – Australia's conservative prime minister sounded the gun on the last lap of a bitterly-fought election campaign Sunday, admitting "not everything went to plan" during the country's pandemic response.
At an official launch of his party's election campaign ahead of the May 21 vote, conservative Scott Morrison acknowledged missteps during the crisis but declared "Australia has prevailed"
In reality, the election campaign has been underway for months -- if not years -- but the event offered Morrison a chance to rally the party base and appeal to voters who appear set to boot him out after three tumultuous years in office.
According to the latest opinion polls, the centre-left Labor party, led by Anthony Albanese is expected to win Saturday's vote.
But both sides know an upset is still possible.
Morrison's tenure has been beset by a rolling series of crises, from climate-fuelled droughts, bushfires and floods to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
"It has been one of the most challenging times we have ever known," Morrison said, while insisting the country was now "heading in the right direction."
The 54-year-old from Sydney's affluent Eastern Suburbs has come under fire for a glacial vaccine rollout that helped make sure Australia's borders were shut for the better part of two years.
He is also facing anger over the government's handling of natural disasters and reluctance to pivot away from fossil fuels.
Polls consistently show around 70 percent of Australians want more action on climate change, but Morrison has repeatedly rejected calls for ambitious climate targets or scaling back the country's vast coal mining industry.
Seeking to make the election a choice rather than a referendum on his leadership, Morrison has painted the Labor party as "loose units" on the economy and an Albanese premiership as an "experiment."
To sweeten the deal, Morrison also announced plans to allow first-time buyers to use their pension savings to purchase a home.
That policy is likely to be popular among young Australians struggling to get access to a turbocharged property market but is also likely to stoke home price inflation further.

Are You New to Buying a RIB or Buying RIB Insurance?
Thinking of buying a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB)? Well assuming it’s for private and pleasure (P&P) use (commercial use will be dealt with in a separate article) here’s a guide to some of the insurance issues you may encounter as well as some of the benefits you might get as part of your cover.
Use an Insurance Broker!
I’m going to say specialist insurance broker rather than a quotation sourced direct from an insurer. I will declare an interest here in that I actually am a specialist broker. There are advantages:
A specialist broker can do your shopping for you because they will have access to multiple markets and therefore make a recommendation as to which one best fits your needs.
A specialist broker should also be able to help you if a claim happens. Understanding and liaising with your insurers regarding liability and/or settlement value. They may also have access to a wide range of approved boat builders, dealers and repairers that will help you get your RIB back in use with minimum disruption to your pleasure in using your RIB.
This is in contrast to going direct to an insurance company which means you will just receive information based on their product. It also means you will have to make time consuming multiple telephone calls find out what is available so to decide what is best for you. That’s OK if you have time, but time is money!
What Value is the RIB insured for – Purchase Price or Agreed Value?
You need to understand the basis on which your RIB is covered. It is common for insurers to cover the RIB and its equipment for the purchase price. However, cover can also be on “agreed value”. If you are unsure which yours is check your insurer’s policy wording. Some may state that they will pay the value stated in in the Schedule of Cover (this will be “agreed value”) and others will state they will only pay up to that value (i.e. the purchase price less any depreciation). If your RIB is a total loss the difference in the policy wording could have a significant effect on the amount of your claim is settled for.
As you will expect, the more you pay for your RIB, the more your insurance cover is likely to cost. Insurers rate your policy on the value of your hull, machinery, trailer and any special equipment you might have. The rate applied will usually decrease as the insured value slides up, so the cost to cover a RIB at £50,000 would usually be proportionately cheaper to cover than one valued at under £10,000.
Here are some of the other factors that will affect your overall annual premium for your RIB insurance:
Where are you keeping your RIB?
Location can matter. Certain parts of the UK that are considered prone to extreme weather and it will cost more to insure there. Additionally, your choice of mooring can have an effect too – chances are you could be relatively free from a moorings loading if you are on a pontoon in a marina but a swing mooring will often result in your cover costing you more. Also it is worth mentioning that, if your RIB is permanently moored in Continental Europe it will be rated differently than if UK based.
How Fast Can Your RIB Go?
There’s no doubt that the last few years have seen an increase in performance of RIBs being used for P&P and the maximum speed of your craft will be a factor on your premium and the availability of cover.
Generally, up to 35 Knots is within the appetite of insurers. Above 35 Knots things start to change, with premium increased but most RIB insurers are comfortable offering cover up to 55 Knots. Above 55 Knots many insurers are uncomfortable meaning that they won’t provide cover or there is a sharp rise in premium rates for these RIB’s.
What is your experience on RIB’s?
Some insurers will allow a small premium discount if you are an experienced skipper. By experienced this is usually taken to mean more than 5 years with RIB’s. If you have less than 5 years’ experience then be prepared to have your premium loaded – over 2 years’ experience but under 5 would typically attract a load of 5% to the basic premium. Under 2 years and it could start to get painful; under 1 and you start to find insurers who will not even offer a quotation and others who will – but with a significant premium increase.
You’re Qualifications?
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) has recognised training centres worldwide. If you invest in getting appropriate RYA qualifications – such as Powerboat Levels 1&2 – there may be a premium discount.
No Claims have occurred?
Typically, insurers will allow a 5% discount per year up to a maximum of 5 if you have held boat insurance and made no claims but it is possible to find insurers offering larger discounts in certain circumstances.
Covering Personal Possessions & Accessories
Trailers, inflatables and other accessories used with your RIB can be added to your schedule of cover – there will usually be an additional premium charged. Check your policy documentation for terms and conditions relating to use, security and storage of these items.
In return for a further additional premium your insurers may allow you to add cover for personal possessions against loss of damage whilst on board your RIB. Before opting for this extension, however, it is worth checking exactly what is and isn’t covered as some policy wordings will detail a lengthy list of excluded property, including (but not limited to) passports, money, credit cards, travel tickets, jewellery, watches keys, mobile phones and laptops. You might also be able to obtain a better premium rate and scope of cover for this type of property as an “All Risks” extension to your home contents insurance policy.
European Vacation?
Many providers will include up to 30-days European use (including road transit) as a free extension so you can hook up your trailer and have fun – don’t forget to check your certificate and/or schedule to make sure this cover is in place before you go.
Here’s a tip: If you are going overseas ask your insurer to provide you with a certificate in the language of the country where you will be using your RIB – it may save you a lot of hassle with the local authorities if you can present a certificate of cover that the local authorities don’t have to get translated.
Transiting Your RIB
Cover for road transit of your RIB can be included on your policy – sometimes this is a freebie but some insurers will levy an additional premium for transit cover – don’t forget to ask your broker if your transit cover is free or if they are charging for the extension.
Marine Third Party Liability
Your RIB’s Marine Third Party Liability Insurance covers your legal liabilities arising from the use of your RIB as agreed by your insurers. It will cover injury to passengers and other third parties as well as damage to third party property.
This cover often comes as a free extension to your RIB’s Hull & Machinery Insurance but some providers will levy a separate premium for your Liability Insurance. At time of publication the indemnity limit commonly provided by insurers is £3,000,000, though some will provide a higher limit if required (eg. a particular marina insists on a higher limit) in return for an additional premium.
Depending on where your RIB is berthed, it may be a requirement for you to have Marine Third Party Liability Insurance. For example, the Environment Agency (EA) requires all vessels on their waterways to be registered and part of the registration process is to provide details of your insurance. Although you are not required to submit your documentation the EA carries out spot checks and will fine boat owners who do not have the correct level of insurance.
Will You Be Water-skiing or Towing Toys?
Obviously you’ll want to have fun with your RIB and if that includes water skiing or towing toys such as bananas, ringos and other inflatables you will need to have your liability insurance extended to include this activity.
Policies are commonly endorsed with the permitted number of toys or skiers that can be towed at any one time and may have additional conditions applied such as having somebody on board to act as a look-out or observer in addition to the helmsman.
Some Small Print to Look For:
High Speed Clauses
If the maximum speed of your RIB is in excess of 17 Knots then your insurers are likely to apply some additional terms and conditions to your cover.
Commonly defined as a “High Speed Clause” you are likely to find an endorsement on your schedule or certificate of cover that excludes cover that your policy usually provides to vessels with a design speed up to 17 Knots.
Each insurer will have a slightly different wording so it is worth studying this exclusion if it is likely to apply to you. If in doubt, speak to a specialist broker who is familiar with the nuances of different policies and is able to make a suitable recommendation to meet your specific requirements.
Outboard Locks
Theft of outboard engines is prevalent. Professional gangs seem to be able to operate without fear of being caught and some cases, such as where they have succeeded in removing even the largest engines from vessels in marinas, their success in escaping with tens of thousands of pounds worth of outboard has been extraordinary.
Insurers will almost certainly require your outboard engines to be secured to your RIB with an anti-theft device in addition to its normal method of attachment.
Wheel Clamps
Theft of your vessel while left unattended at any time on a trailer will more than likely be excluded unless it is secured by a wheel clamp. Some insurers will relax this if the trailer is in a locked building or compound. Check your documentation to be absolutely sure what your insurer’s requirements are.
Excesses
Excesses often vary – usually the higher the value of your RIB and outboard, the higher the excess is likely to be. In addition to the standard excess, insurers may apply higher excesses for particular types of claim. For example, claims resulting from damage to semi-submerged objects (SSOs) can be subject to higher excesses than the policy’s standard.
Kill Cords
At time of writing it is not a legal requirement in the UK for P&P craft to have kill cords in use whilst the craft is underway. However, some insurers are now making the attaching of kill cords a requirement of their cover for fast craft. Again, check your wording or speak to your provider if you are not sure what your insurance obliges you to do.
Nb. These examples represent only a small part of your policy’s terms and conditions. You should carefully read the whole of your policy document to ensure you are aware and fully understand all policy requirements and the scope of cover provided. If in doubt, speak to your insurance provider and obtain clarification from them.
Additional Cover & Free Benefits
Legal Expenses
This cover is usually an “add on” which attracts a charge. A Legal Expenses policy will cover your uninsured losses in the event of a non-fault claim such as your standard policy excess. It might also cover you with regard to contractual disputes and legal defence.
Data Tag
One insurer I work with offers a free data tag to all policy holders. This is particularly useful for RIB owners as, if your outboard should disappear overnight, it is possible for it to be located by the police and the perpetrators apprehended.
Marina Benefits
We have already discussed (in Part 1) the premium benefits you are likely to enjoy if your vessel is kept in a marina. This is due to greater security against theft as well as the marina generally being a safer haven from adverse weather conditions than other types of mooring.
In addition to premium savings you can often benefit from not having your excess applied in the event of a claim arising whilst your RIB is marina berthed. Some insurers will also provide the benefit of not penalising your no-claims bonus in the event of theft or damage occurring whilst your vessel is moored in a marina.
Personal Accident Insurance
This is a useful feature and, in most cases, it usually does come as a genuine free benefit. The sums insured are relatively low (typically £5,000 or £10,000) and do not compare favourably with stand-alone personal accident policies but, nevertheless, would provide some support if an insured event were to occur.
You should always seek professional advice from a properly authorised and registered insurance provider before buying insurance.

Effective Strategic Alliance
Introduction
Human life has two levels – individual & collective. The individual level of life is evaluated on two grounds – mindset or thought-pattern & behaviour or work-pattern. A stable existence of positive mindset and right behaviour shapes wise individuals. On the other hand, the collective aspect of life is assessed on interactive behaviour of individuals. The collective life has three aspects – social, economic, and political. An individual plays multiple roles in his collective / interactive life. The interactive roles of an individual can be grouped into two categories – natural & voluntary. A relationship between parents and children is natural, while a relationship between husband & wife or entrepreneur & worker or politician & follower is voluntary. A voluntary relation is not permanent and can be broken apart any time. A voluntary relation can take three shapes – cooperative, competitive, and independent. Ideally, a relation between husband and wife is cooperative; however, it may take some hostile shape due to certain social, economic, or psychological reasons. A link between two opposing support teams is competitive; the very purpose of the link is to defeat the other team. And, a relation among participants walking on a jogging track is independent or autonomous.
The economic aspect of life is shaped by economic agents, i.e., entrepreneurs, investors, professional, workers, & consumers. Mutual interaction of economic agents may take three shapes – competitive, cooperative, and autonomous. A voluntary cooperative attitude of economic agents shapes multiple economic alliances. The frequently prevalent cooperation in business life is occurred at strategic level, it is called strategic alliance. The less frequent phenomena of organizational cooperation are mergers / takeovers. A strategic alliance is made to create / achieve something that neither party could do/get themselves, independently.
The ultimate motive of Strategic Alliance is to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of venture. The economic rationale of strategic alliance is to reap economies of scale. An alliance avoids wasteful duplication of resources/efforts and gives rapid growth to business due to synergy benefits. A synergy benefit means that the economic addition of two institutions would create/bring more than double benefits.
Strategy
A strategy is a rational and stable move to materialize the business mission/vision with available resources. An entrepreneur makes countless strategies in his business life in order to give a fillip to his business. A strategy is based on multiple factors, i.e., innovations, customer’s tastes and needs, market structure, available human resources, capital availability, and government policies. A business cannot flourish or sustain without strategy or strategic management.
The ultimate motive of a strategy is materialized through setting certain economic goals and objectives. Goals make the system effective while objectives are necessary to improve efficiency level of a system. The twin outcomes of successful business strategy, i.e., efficiency & effectiveness maximize the benefits of a business. In addition, a strategy directs towards right start of a business venture.
A strategy can be grouped into three categories: – Individualistic, Cooperative, and Competitive. In individualistic strategy the institution is indifferent towards other institutions (e.g., 5-S, 6-Sigma). In cooperative strategy, the institution develops cooperation with other institutions; cooperation would be fruitful if it is based on some common values (e.g., Benchmarking, Strategic Alliance, and Merger). In competitive strategy, institution competes with other institutions (e.g., Media War and Price War). On different occasions, an institution may adopt different strategy; it may be a composition of any two or three (mix strategy approach) or may be separate strategy (dominant strategy approach).
Ingredients of Fruitful Strategic Alliance
It is a hard fact of economic life that most of the alliances are failed. The alliances are started generally with high-sounding words but ends in low-pitched excuses. The very basis of failure is misconception, miscommunication, micro-management, and mismanagement. Moreover, an irrational – unstable collaboration may create some mutational traits in institutional struggle, consequently the whole structure of institutions may damage. There are three ingredients for stable or fruitful strategic alliance.
Entrepreneurial Harmony – A conceptual understanding and sincere/honest/just cooperation between the concerned entrepreneurs is vital for fruitful strategic alliance. A valueless approach towards an alliance gives rapid but skewed growth that is shattered ultimately. Moreover, a value driven alliance is convergent to any external – internal shock or threat.
Institutional Harmony – A positive correlation of success factors / performance indicators of the concerned institutions is indispensable for fruitful alliance. For example, the growth-pattern of software house and management consultancy is mutually reinforcing, an institutional harmony can be developed between these two entities. Institutional harmony may develop at conceptual level or structural level or operational level. Institutional harmony is achieved slowly, gradually and painfully.
Natural Harmony – It is Natural Law that a right effort produces results slowly, while a wrong effort produces results quickly. Bad human nature chase quick results but these are not deep-rooted or sustainable. An alliance based on Natural Rules / Scientific Methods would be deep-rooted, sustainable, and fruitful. Quality Management is based on scientific rules. It shapes / develops natural harmony among individuals / institutions.
It is noteworthy, a cooperative right effort is fruitful than individual right effort but cooperative wrong effort is more disastrous as compared to individual wrong effort.
Critical Areas of Strategic Alliance
A strategic alliance is assessed generally on two grounds – rationality & morality. Rationality is necessary condition for fruitful alliance but it is not sufficient, morality towards sharing is also essential for stable alliance. An unjust attitude or approach is the critical hurdle that may arise in the future course of time and one or both parties may be enslaved of greedy/lusty behavior. Anyhow, in strategic alliance, we judge multiple things to evaluate strength/weakness of institutions. The vital concerns are: Economic Rationale Of Alliance, Financial Analysis, Ownership And Control, Legal Bottlenecks, Marketing & Operational Issues, Structural Constraints, Areas Of Possible Risks/Uncertainties, Areas Of Conflicts/Cooperation, Insurance Coverage, Defining Some Conciliatory Body To Avoid Possible Conflicts, and Alliance Termination.
Another critical area of strategic alliance is its social dimension. A strategic alliance with social dimension is much fruitful and beneficial to concerned parties. For example, a strategic alliance of economic and social entrepreneur may create multiple benefits for both. It is noteworthy that social values, economic viability, and profitability are mutually reinforcing but it takes a bit longer time for maturity as compare to a valueless and non-social strategic business alliance.

5 Ways to Tie Culture Into Your Online Courseroom
Culture often plays a very strong role in people’s lives. Culture has the ability to sway perceptions, influence goals and hopes and even steer fears and anxieties. In business, leaders are often encouraged to create core values that set the foundation for the culture that will soon evolve. Once the core values are set, it is up to all those in an organization (both management and non-management) to continue the growth and development of this culture based on those created values. A culture is always created in an environment, sometimes no culture is the culture. As a professor, your classroom is your business and you are the leader. It is up to you to create the foundation and continuously guide, the culture.
Here are 5 Ways to Add Culture Into Your Courseroom
1. Create Core Values.
It is up to a professor to create core values. Core values are the very foundation of your culture. Adding culture into your courseroom may produce benefits for your students and could impact levels of fear in asking for help, increase course retention and peer interactions, and enhance understanding of content.
The How To:
Think of 3-5 traits that you really value in yourself, students, and class and begin to shape your classroom based on these traits. Do you value punctuality? Do you value willpower? Do you value working collaboratively? These are examples of traits that you can adapt and begin turning into core values. Be sure to shape your classroom content, attitude, and interactions according to these values. You are a model for your students and they will follow your lead. Share your values as expectations early on so that students take part right from the start in maintaining and developing this culture.
2. Make Culture an Action.
Culture is a continuous activity and it involves both the professor and student. The more you can get students involved and engaged in growing the culture, the more fun and better rapport everyone has in the courseroom.
The How To:
Take time to think about how you can get your students to do more, while still making it fun so they want to do more. By getting students to go above and beyond you foster critical thinking and encourage them to open their mind.
Here are a few actionable ideas that can add more fun to the culture of your classroom now:
· Create an in-class library where you and students list off “must-read” books.
· Create a “Pinterest” type board where you and students can add pictures during the term that represent fun and the classroom core values.
· If your school allows and the student approves, highlight a student of the week that met a core value and explain why.
· Have students upload pictures of their families and themselves. Discuss the purpose behind why they are on this educational journey.
What three actionable ideas can you add to this list?
3. Reward Students.
John E. Jones says, “what gets measured get done; what gets measured and fed back gets done well; what gets rewarded gets repeated.” By rewarding students, you reinforce their behaviors, build up their confidence, build a rapport and push them to the next level. You may not be able to send students a $100 gift card every time they get and A on an assignment, but that is not necessarily how you build the courseroom culture when it comes to rewarding students, anyway.
The How To:
Take time to think about ways that you can increase a student’s opportunity to grow in the classroom, this is a reward. They are attending school to learn, they are paying to learn. The more you can enhance learning, the more it is a “bonus” or “reward” to/for them.
Here are a few rewards that you can add to your courseroom now:
· Provide students with inspirational readings or media, such as TedTalks or YouTube videos.
· Create your own media to make content more understandable.
· Provide thorough in text comments and feedback when grading assignments and discussions.
· Give real-world examples of situations and outcomes.
· Provide resources that the school or communities offer.
· Educate students on the various social media platforms.
· Find ways to connect students’ comments, thoughts, ideas.
· Highlight students that are using certain core values.
· Stay on top of trends, hot topics and technology in order to enhance discussions on current events and how to tie them into the now.
What is one reward that you can you add to this list?
4. Let the student put in less effort.
Of course a student needs to put in maximum effort to get this degree. But the journey in getting that degree can be easier if professor does two things: One, provides a culture that allows students to receive communication in a timely manner and two, he or she knows what a student needs before they know.
First, it is hard enough to ask a question for some students, but to not get a response or miss a deadline while waiting for a response, that can create some serious anxiety in a student. This can create a culture of fear, nervousness and lack of respect. Two, a seasoned professor often knows a student’s question before they ask it. This is because most questions tend to be common or related to a certain topic and this pattern has been noted over the years of teaching.
The How To:
First, be sure to respond to student in a timely manner. Check your email from students at least one time per day and do your best to set a personal goal and beat the response time mandated by the university. If you have an ask your instructor forum in your classroom, be sure to check that area of your classroom a couple times a day and remember that other students in this type of forum setting see the student’s question and your response. Never be harsh, condescending or critical in your response. This can really hurt the student’s confidence who asked the question and increase anxiety in those reading this section of the courseroom.
Second, take a moment to reflect on all the courses you have taught. In each course, did a recurring question or theme come up? Was there a worksheet several students could never locate? Was there a certain section of an assignment that was always misunderstood? Create an announcement before that week and let the students know what to expect or how to hurdle the issue they are about to face. This simple change in your culture and practice allows for more of a focus on learning and less of a focus on smaller mundane tasks.
5. Connect students to a higher purpose.
When we are connected to a higher purpose in life, we are more committed, happier and more motivated. This higher purpose doesn’t only have to be faith driven. It is about connecting people to people and people to resources. A professor can create a culture of connectedness.
The How To:
Create a culture of connectedness in your courseroom by connecting students to one another and to resources both inside of the institution and outside.
Here are a few ways to connect students in your courseroom now:
· Get them involved in the school’s social media.
· Educate students on the power LinkedIn can have on networking, credibility and job searching.
· Tie students’ comments together and note commonalties.
· Encourage students to share about how they overcame certain issues that others in the course may be facing.
· Share websites, blogs and content that might support a certain issue a student has (this can be over email and not always in the public forum).
· Write letters of recommendation if your institution allows.
· Provide students with a list and consistently comment on the various resources the university offers.
· Encourage students to share their dreams and goals for themselves and family.
What is one way that you currently connect your students to a higher purpose?

The launch of the iPhone 14 is likely several months away still, but rumors nonetheless abound. One of the more interesting ones is the idea that Apple will replace the iPhone 13 mini with an iPhone 14 Max.
Even though I'm a fan of small phones, I think this is the right call. Right now, the only way to get a big screen iPhone is to spring for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the most expensive model. Some people don't want to spend a minimum of $1,099 on a smartphone just to get a big screen.
Apple going with a non-Pro Max model is a great idea, especially if the rumored price of $899 turns out to be accurate. Some people don't need the telephoto camera, 120Hz display, or top-tier performance of the Pro Max. Offering a larger version of the iPhone 14 makes a lot of sense.
Small phone fans will have to look to the iPhone SE (2022), making a lot of concessions doing so. The mini iPhones are nifty, but they suffer from poorer battery life than their 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch brethren. And word has it that the smallest iPhones aren't even selling that well, so it would make sense for Apple to instead offer people a cheaper big screen option.
I always thought it was odd that you had to go Pro to get a large iPhone. The last time you paid a slight premium to get the big screen was the iPhone XS Max in 2018, and before that the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. But when the iPhone 11 came around in 2019, the bigger display became a Pro exclusive.
Three years is a long time to wait in smartphone land, but I will gladly welcome the iPhone 14 Max. While I don't like the 6.7-inch iPhones, I think giving people the option between the smaller iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Max or iPhone 14 Pro Max is a good move. This will also streamline case selections, since you'll only have to look at the small or big ones.
So while I will miss the diminutive mini iPhones, I'd rather see a cheaper big model be available for those who don't want to spend north of a grand on their large smartphone. Super small phones' appeal seems to have died and people appear to want bigger handsets. I hope this iPhone 14 Max rumor comes true. | https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/iphone-14-max-is-the-right-direction-heres-why | 2022-05-15T05:45:15Z | https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/iphone-14-max-is-the-right-direction-heres-why | false | 2 |
That’s all she wrote for UFC Vegas 54, which saw four finishes across six main card matchups, including a TKO, a knockout, a submission, and an injury TKO.
That injury happened in the main event when the UFC’s former 205-pound champion, Jan Blachowicz, defeated the promotion’s #3 ranked light heavyweight, Aleksandar Rakic, in the third round. The fight seemed to be just heating up, with calf kicks flying on both sides in the first round, and rakic finding his stride in the second with his wrestling. Early in the third frame, that’s when Rakic took a backwards step and the knee on his rear leg gave out on him, causing him to drop down to the canvas in pain. It was quite unexpected, and unfortunate for Rakic, but nonetheless that’s where the fight came to a close. Perhaps Jan will now get to face the winner of the upcoming UFC 275 title tilt between the champ, Glover Teixeira, and his challenger, Jiri Prochazka.
Before that, the co-main event of the evening witnessed the UFC’s #13 ranked light heavyweight, Ryan Spann, tap out the ever aggressive Ion Cutelaba with a guillotine choke in the first round. Spann had to address a couple of takedowns from Cutelaba, but was able to get back to his feet each time and was able to jump on the neck to get the finish. When Ryan puts it all together he is quite dangerous, and if he can consistently perform like he did tonight, then he could definitely climb the ranks and crack the top-10
Davey Grant picked up another knockout tonight when he hurt Louis Smolka with a calf kick, and then removed him from consciousness with some ferocious ground and pound. Grant had a strong opening act, but had to deal with a rallying Smolka in the second stanza. Then it was early in the final frame when Grant delivered the fight ending blows that produced another finish. He keeps finding himself in wars, but Grant sure does have a knack for putting people out.
The UFC’s #1 rated women’s flyweight, Katlyn Chookagian, was involved in a close one with a Amanda Ribas, pulling out the split decision. This one was back and forth, with Ribas getting a couple of takedowns, Chookagian throwing volume, and both fighters swinging hard until the final bell. Credit to Ribas for moving up to flyweight, but the night belongs to Chookagian, who keeps turning away almost anyone with championship aspirations.
Making good on his UFC debut, Manuel Torres continued his trend of first-round finishes by stopping Frank Camacho with a nasty left hook to right hook combo. Torres went hard from the word go, and Camacho tried to do the same, but Manuel brought too much firepower for Frank to handle. Now sitting at 13-2, Torres extends his streak of violence to four in a row, and has actually only lost by leg locks. To say this man is fun to watch would be a gross understatement.
Opening up the main card, Allan Nascimento used his superior grappling skills to run away with the scorecards against UFC newcomer Jake Hadley. the bulk of this bout took place on the ground, with Nascimento hitting several sweeps to make sure he was the fighter on top.
**See complete results below
Main card:
Jan Blachowicz def. Aleksandar Rakic by TKO at 1:11 of round 3: Light Heavyweight
The light heavyweights were exchanging leg kicks right away. A punch from Rakic opened up a cut around the lower left eyelid of Blachowicz early in the match, which he kept wiping at. Blachowicz had Rakic switching stances, likely from the calf kicks. Rakic was doing his best work from range, but whenever they met on the inside, Blachowicz was the one coming up with the bigger punches.
The second act is where Rakic came up with an early single leg takedown. He found himself in a loose triangle attempt, but was able to escape with relative ease. From inside of the full guard, Rakic dropped punches and elbows while making sure he remained in control. Jan was unable to get back to his feet.
Blachowicz started attacking the lead leg of Rakic right away in the third round. Then as Rakic stepped backwards, his rear leg buckled on him, making him fall to the floor in agony. Luckily the referee was right there to stop the fight and prevent any unnecessary punishment from being delivered.

Ryan Spann def. Ion Cutelaba by submission (Guillotine) at 2:22 of round 1: Light Heavyweight
Spann was putting together some pretty boxing combos early in the fight, and cracked Cutelaba with a jab-jab-cross. Cutelaba immediately shot in for a takedown, planting Spann on his back. Spann was able to get up by emphatically pushing off with his feet, but rushing forward got him taken back down. Spann again pushed off with his feet, but this time Ion overcommitted with a huge punch that made him lose his balance. Ryan instantly jumped on a guillotine, and stayed attached to Cutelaba on the way to the ground to get the tap.

Davey Grant def. Louis Smolka by KO at :49 of round 3: Bantamweight
Grant was letting his strikes go right away, mixing up his kicks and boxing combos. Smolka was wearing everything well, but Grant was making life difficult by throwing in combination. Credit to Smolka for eating the shots, but he was struggling to unleash his own offense. With about 40-seconds left in the opening round, Grant connecting with a jousting jab that finally dropped Smolka. Louis recovered well enough to escape the round.
Smolka started to connect early in the seocnd round, coming forward and getting himself back into the fight. Grant wasn’t connecting as clean with his strikes as he was in the first, while Smolka was opening up and landing a lot more. A botched spinning hook kick from Grant resulted in Smolka taking the back, and then transitioning too a brief armbar attempt.
Grant was punishing the leg of Smolka to kick off the final round. He then made Louis hobble with an angry calf kick, and then prompted him to shoot a desperation takedown. Grant easily sprawled, and then immediately began dropping some devastating ground and pound that knocked out Smolka cold. EEK!

Katlyn Chookagian def. Amanda Ribas by split decision (29-28 x2, 28-29): (W) Flyweight
Ribas hit an early head and arm throw to put Chookagian on her back early in the fight. Chookagian started to scramble from the bottom, and it took a little bit for her to find a way up... but she did without enduring much of any damage. On the feet, Chookagian was letting her volume go, slinging a bunch of jabs and crosses. After a rough start, Chookagian seemed to be able to steal it from Ribas.
Chookagian continued with her volume and aggression to start the second round, launching jousting straights at Ribas. A couple of kicks landed for Ribas, including a few spinning ones to the body. Once Ribas found a way on the inside, she was able to land another head and arm throw to put Chookagian on her back. A few elbows landed, but Chookagian stayed active to get Ribas to focus on control. Chookagian stood back up and landed some big punches before the bell.
Ribas tripped Chookagian with a leg kick to open the final frame, but wasn’t able to capitalize on it. Chookagian stayed true to her straights, and landed a few back fists to boot. Ribas was more focused on her kicks, throwing them to the body and legs alike. With just over a minute to go, Ribas blasted a takedown, but Chookagian scrambled right back up to her feet. Down the stretch, Ribas began connecting with several punches, screaming out as she threw.

Manuel Torres def. Frank Camacho by TKO at 3:27 of round 1: Lightweight
The lightweights got right to work, throwing heavy leather back and forth. Torres was landing the better shots early on, with Camacho being the one mixing in takedown attempts. Torres was poking through the guard of Camacho, landing big punches to back him off. Then right after Camacho delivered a jab-jab cross that missed, Torres came with a wide left hook that stunned Frank, followed by a wide right hook that put him down. The referee elected to step in at that moment to stop the sporting competition.

Allan Nascimento def. Jake Hadley by unanimous decision (30-27 x3): Flyweight
Hadley came out pressuring right away, but found himself on his back after getting a kick caught. He used an omoplata to sweep on top, but Nascimento rolled for a straight ankle lock. Nascimento then used heel hook to sweep back on top. The scrambles slowed down here, with Nascimento solidifying top position and racking up control time.
Hadley pressured Nascimento backwards again to seat the second stanza, but Nascimento changed levels and got back on top. The control of Nascimento was outstanding. He was able to thwart all of the sweep attempts from Hadley, and although he couldn't quite pass the guard, Nascimento was dominating on the floor.
Just like the previous two rounds, Hadley backed up Nascimento to start the third. The time when Nascimento shot in, Hadley attacked with a guillotine. Nascimento was forced to roll to his back, and then Hadley had his chance at doing work from the top. Nascimento navigated the ground and ultimately stole top position off of a botched back take form Hadley. He started to attack with a D’arce, but Hadley defended well and made it back to his feet. Nascimento shot in, and again got stuck in a high elbow guillotine, but was able to sweep on top anyway. | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/5/15/23073165/ufc-vegas-54-results-jan-blachowicz-gets-injury-tko-over-aleksandar-rakic-mma-news | 2022-05-15T05:51:39Z | https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/5/15/23073165/ufc-vegas-54-results-jan-blachowicz-gets-injury-tko-over-aleksandar-rakic-mma-news | false | 1 |

“It was not possible to say who delivered the fatal blows. However, all of them shared a common intention: that Shanto should die, or suffer very serious injuries,” he added.
Shanto’s friends took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where he was declared dead at 10:30pm, inspector Bachchu Mia, in-charge of DMCH Police Outpost, said.
The body was sent to the hospital morgue for post-mortem examination, he added.

LOS ANGELES ― The dog days of summer are, by definition, five weeks away. Consider Saturday’s “Pups at the Park” promotion on a hot night at Dodger Stadium a sneak preview, then.
If the baseballs continue to fly as they have since the Dodgers returned home from the East Coast, the low-scoring run environment of the season’s early weeks will soon be in the past. The Dodgers’ grip on first place might follow.
Julio Urías became the Dodgers’ latest pitcher to have no answer for Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies. Harper hit one of five home runs ― four by Philadelphia ― in the Dodgers’ 8-3 loss before an announced crowd of 50,279.
The Dodgers (20-12) have lost four straight games for the first time since June of last year. Unlike the first three defeats, there was no late-inning comeback in store Saturday. Cody Bellinger drove in a pair of runs with a double in the fourth inning and the Dodgers did not collect another hit.
“They had those homers, the big momentum swings, and we didn’t,” Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner said. “That seemed to be the difference. We just didn’t seem to get that homer or that big hit.”
Mookie Betts hit a home run in the first inning against Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (4-1), who allowed five hits and three runs in seven innings. The left-hander issued one walk and struck out six.
Like Tyler Anderson and Walker Buehler before him in the series, Urías struggled to keep Harper off base. The Dodgers’ longtime nemesis went 3 for 4 (a double, a homer, a bunt single) and three RBIs.
Jean Segura, Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins also hit home runs against Urías. The left-hander had never allowed four homers, six extra-base hits, or eight runs in a game. The Phillies had all of these after four innings.
“They had a plan of attack and seemed to take advantage of all those mistakes,” Urías said.
In the first inning, Harper poked a well-located curveball off the end of his bat into shallow left field. Because the Dodgers were shifted the opposite way, Harper was able to leg out a double.
The next batter, Nick Castellanos, hit a grounder down the third-base line. Justin Turner gloved the ball but threw a one-hopper to first base that Freddie Freeman could not scoop out of the dirt. Castellanos was safe on the error, so the inning continued for Segura.
Segura did not make hard contact with Urías’ 1-and-1 curveball, but his fly ball found the shallowest nook of Dodger Stadium: the left field corner. At 91.0 mph per Statcast, it was the second-softest home run hit this season. Because of Turner’s error, all three runs were unearned.
The third inning was not as kind to Urías’ ERA. Rhys Hoskins singled. Alec Bohm doubled. Harper cleared the bases with his ninth home run of the season, a 420-foot parabola. Philadelphia led 6-1.
“I think they’re just on a good run,” Urías said. “You can tell offensively what they’re doing. Tonight, the last few nights, they just kept adding on.”
Home runs by Schwarber and Hoskins in the fourth inning extended the lead to 8-1. Urías was never in danger of being removed. No relief pitcher began warming up until Reyes Moronta in the sixth.
Therein lies the Dodgers’ vicious cycle of frustration in the series. Each of their starting pitchers has been uncharacteristically bad. Tyler Anderson allowed seven runs on Thursday. Walker Buehler allowed five on Friday. Urías allowed eight.
But the bullpen has been no sure bet, either. Daniel Hudson suffered his second loss in as many days Thursday. Brusdar Graterol allowed three runs in the 10th inning Friday.
With 22 games to play over the next 22 days, and their five-man rotation reduced to four in light of Clayton Kershaw’s latest injury, Manager Dave Roberts has been forced to extend his starters with little regard to the scoreboard or the standings. The Dodgers and Padres are in a virtual tie for first in the NL West.
Against Harper and the Phillies, that’s a difficult place to be. The reigning National League MVP is the first visiting player at Dodger Stadium ever to collect a homer and at least two extra-base hits in three consecutive games. Harper is scheduled to have a day off Sunday, when right-hander Michael Grove will make his major league debut for the Dodgers.
“It feels like (Harper) is the best player” when he’s on a roll, Turner said of his former teammate. “It’s kind of crazy. The numbers he can put up offensively are special. He’s one of a kind. That’s why he won the MVP last year. That’s why he’s doing what he’s doing now.” | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/05/14/dodgers-suffer-fourth-straight-loss-phillies-bryce-harper-homers-again/ | 2022-05-15T05:56:37Z | https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2022/05/14/dodgers-suffer-fourth-straight-loss-phillies-bryce-harper-homers-again/ | true | 7 |
Cartoon Alien Aims To Ease World Cup Culture Shock In Qatar
Muhammad Irfan Published May 15, 2022 | 09:30 AM
Doha, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th May, 2022 ) :A cartoon series on an alien who crash-lands in World Cup host Qatar aims to ease a culture clash between more than a million foreign football fans and the conservative state's residents.
Like the arriving fans, Kawkabani, star of the series launched by Qatar's first animation studio, has to learn Arabic pronunciation, how to drink coffee -- and to discover that Qataris prepare way too much food for their guests.
Creators Hossein Heydar and Amal al-Shammari also want Qataris to get the message that they will have to make cultural concessions to the beer-drinking, good-time-seeking masses who converge on their country in November and December.
The first two 10-minute episodes of "Kawkabani" -- which means "The Planet Person" in Arabic -- have already been launched on YouTube by their company, Nefaish Animation.
"As an animation studio, we looked at content in the region, even in Qatar, and we felt there was a lack of content that represents Qatari culture," said Shammari, Nefaish's creative director.
Arabic words were sometimes garbled and costumes not always quite right.
"We felt like we need a studio in Qatar that pays attention to all these details and represents Qatari culture in the right way," he said.
Tiny Qatar's triumph in securing the right to host the World Cup gives it the opportunity to show off its traditions and customs.
"We want to explain a lot of things and share our culture with the visitors," said Shammari, who wrote the script.
Nefaish only hired artists from the middle East with knowledge of Arabic culture, added Heydar, in charge of animation.
Besides Kawkabani, the series has three main Qatari characters representing what the creators consider to be the main strands of the 270,000-strong indigenous community, which lives alongside more than 2.5 million foreign workers.
Faisal is a traditional bedouin, the community that used to inhabit the desert.
"You know they're more proud of their culture, and then they sometimes overreact," said Shammari.
But "they would support you no matter what. They'll always be there for you." Saad, another of the Qatari characters, is a more "modern" city dweller. "He is open to different cultures, he's open to people, he wants to be a businessman," said the writer.
As for Khalifa, he represents the growing mixed community in Qatar. A vegan, his mother is British and father Qatari.
Each of the five episodes in the first series -- translated into English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese on YouTube -- shows the Qatari way of life, especially food and drink.
Kawkabani runs into trouble for not knowing the right-handed gesture used to indicate having drunk too much coffee.
But the series also pokes fun at Qataris.
With up to 1.4 million visitors expected in Qatar for the World Cup, Shammari said the cartoon sought "to explain to Qataris that there must be acceptance of these cultures... and help them (visitors) coexist or understand the Qatari culture as well".
Kawkabani was part-financed by Qatar's World Cup organisers, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, as well as the Doha Film Institute and telecoms giant Vodafone.
While the first programmes do not touch on controversial issues such as rights of migrant workers and women, Heydar insisted there had been complete artistic freedom.
"This is our show and the sponsors were very supportive and they gave us all the freedom to create it the way we see it," he said.
The pair already plan two more series of Kawkabani alongside other projects to highlight Arab culture.
"Our heritage is full of stories, is full of characters, full of heroes and we want to showcase them from Qatar or from the Arabic region to the whole world," he said.

Editorial|Editorial
Ukraine is fighting Russia for the sake of others, but at a hard price. Every day of war increases the suffering of Ukrainians.
United States is increasingly committed to Ukraine’s defensive struggle against Russian invasion. On Wednesday, Congress approved by a large majority a new $ 40 billion support package – it was more than President Joe Biden even dared to ask for.
The increase in military aid was justified in particular by the war crimes committed by the Russians in Ukraine, but the Americans do have the ability to see bad deeds through their fingers, if necessary, or to do it themselves. The real reason for the increased desire to help is elsewhere.
Ukrainians have proven to be excellent fighters. Despite their material force, they have proven their ability to seriously damage the world’s second-strongest military force after the United States. Russia is estimated to have consumed and lost much of its best military equipment in Ukraine – including the flagship of Moscow – and possibly as many as 15,000 men.
Russia’s loss of men in two and a half months is already in the same range as in ten years in Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan was an important factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that is why the United States armed the Afghan guerrillas. Now Russia is sinking into an even worse swamp in Ukraine, where the conflict is turning into an enormously resource-consuming starvation war.
United States looks at the whole world. Russia and China have challenged the United States and its allies in a geostrategic race. If Russia consumes its power in Ukraine, China will also be weaker. And if all goes well, President Vladimir Putin could fall and Russia will change course.
The weakening of Russia is also in Finland’s interest. As the Karelian garrisons become depleted, the threat to Finland will diminish. Ukrainians are fighting for their survival, but at the same time shedding blood for others.
The West must support Ukraine. However, solutions in Ukraine must be sought on the basis of what is good for Ukrainians. The goal should not be a long war of starvation but an end to fighting and honorable peace.

Ten people were killed and three others wounded — two of them critically — in a shooting at a Buffalo supermarket Saturday afternoon. Law enforcement officials described it as a racially motivated hate crime.
The suspect has been identified as Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old white man from Conklin, — roughly 200 miles southeast of Buffalo.
According to witnesses and law enforcement, the gunman was dressed in body armor, armed with a high-powered rifle, and livestreamed the massacre. Investigators have recovered a manifesto.
“It was straight up, a racially motivated hate crime,” Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said at a news conference.
The FBI is investigating this “both as a hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism,” said Stephen Belongia, special agent in charge in Buffalo.
He said the investigation was the No. 1 priority of the Department of Justice.
Of the 13 victims, 11 are Black and two are white, according to Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia.
The suspect is in custody and was arraigned Saturday evening, charged with murder in the first degree, the highest murder charge in New York state.
Gendron, wearing a white mask and white paper smock, pleaded not guilty through a deputy public defender in a Buffalo courtroom.
At a news conference, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said a felony hearing would take place in five days.
He said his office was also considering terrorism charges, as well as “other murder charges,” and was working with the federal government “so that they can perhaps file charges as well.”
“I assure everyone in this community, justice is being done right now and justice will be done,” Flynn said.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said the suspect had traveled “hours” from outside the city.
“The shooter was not from this community. In fact, the shooter traveled hours from outside this community to perpetrate this crime on the people of Buffalo,” he said.
He said it was a day of “great pain” for the city.
According to police, the gunman arrived at the supermarket at about 2:30 p.m. and exited his vehicle. He shot four people in the parking lot. Three of them died.
He then went inside the store, where a security guard who was a former Buffalo police officer confronted him.
“Because he had heavily armored plating on, the bullet had no round. The suspect engaged our retired officer and he was shot and deceased at the scene,” Gramaglia said.
The gunman then continued shooting as he made his way through the store, then returned to the front, where police officers convinced him to drop his weapon.
He was arrested and taken to Buffalo Police Headquarters.
About 20 people saw the livestream, which lasted 30 seconds, on the broadcasting app Twitch, according to law enforcement. One of the viewers immediately alerted authorities. The Twitch page has since been taken down by the provider.
In one segment of the video, the shooter is heard saying to himself and his followers, “You just go to go for it,” as his car approached the Tops Friendly supermarket Saturday afternoon.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul described the mass killing as “a military-style execution targeting people who simply want to buy groceries in a neighborhood store.”
“It strikes us to our very hearts to know that there is such evil ... out there,” she said at a news conference, adding that it was her “sincere hope” that the suspect would “spend the rest of the day his days behind bars.”
Grady Lewis, an eyewitness to the shooting, told Buffalo’s WKBW news that the scene was “horrible.” He saw people running and witnessed the suspect shooting at people.
He said the gunman was “fully prepared and ready to go.” | https://www.nny360.com/top_stories/suspect-in-custody-after-10-killed-in-shooting-spree-at-buffalo-supermarket/article_232144f0-dc08-5869-bfed-fdfcbbd7c950.html | 2022-05-15T06:11:39Z | https://www.nny360.com/top_stories/suspect-in-custody-after-10-killed-in-shooting-spree-at-buffalo-supermarket/article_232144f0-dc08-5869-bfed-fdfcbbd7c950.html | false | 2 |

For those of you who do not know transit at UPS means that a customer’s package is on the move. The movement is usually in UPS outlets. When a customer gets the in transit notification it means that the package has left the UPS facility and is being moved to another. A lot of people get confused between in transit and out-of-delivery. These are not the same things. Out of delivery means that the package is about to reach the final destination.
What Are the Different Scenarios That It Is Usually Used for?
As we have mentioned in the above section the term in transit means that the package is in movement from one UPS facility to another. If you are notified by UPS saying that the package is in transit that means the package has been moved from one UPS facility and is moving to another. There is no other meaning to the term and is only used to tell the customer that the package is moving from one UPS facility to another.
What Are a Few Different Tracking Codes That You Should Keep a Look Out for When You Are Expecting a UPS Package?
There are various tracking codes that one should look out for when he/she is expecting a package from UPS. In the previous section, we have discussed in transit which means that the package is moving from one UPS outlet to another. Then there is out of delivery which refers to the package reaching its final destination. There are various other codes that UPS has when it comes to tracking a package. These codes and names will refer to the package being shipped, in-flight, or is being delivered to you. We are not certain of all the names and codes that are used for tracking a package. But UPS will continuously be updating the customer about where the package is and when it will reach the location of the receiver.
Does UPS Often Deliver Late?
When it comes to the delivery of the package UPS delivers from Monday to Friday. But this does not mean they do not work on Saturdays and Sundays. UPS has a special service in which they offer delivery during the weekends as well. They offer this special delivery service to residential and commercial places on Saturdays. On Sundays, they offer delivery and pickup service only to residential places. As for the delivery time, UPS has their delivery truck on duty from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. So, customers can expect deliveries to happen from 10 A.M. to 8 P.M.
What Are the Different Ways Provided by UPS When It Comes to Tracking Your Packages?
After a customer gives a package to UPS for shipping, a bar code will be attached to the parcel. The staff member who will be loading the package on the ship or the plane will have scanners with them. All the UPS drivers will also have the same scanner available. All the staff members need to do is scan the bar code with their scanner, and they will get all the information about the parcel. Such as, what it contains, where it is going, where it is coming from, etc. Once they scan the bar code the information will also be updated on the UPS official website as well. The customer will be able to see the step-by-step procedure of where the parcel is and how it is transported on the official website. This method makes tracking the packages convenient.
What Is the Maximum Length of Time That the in Transit Update Is Displayed Before You Consider Reaching Out to UPS?
When it comes to displaying the in transit notification, usually it is there for only 24 hours. As usually it will not take more than 24 hours to move from one UPS outlet to another. Sometimes it might even take lesser than 24 hours. But, if the package is in transit and has to move internationally, it might take more than 24 hours. The in transit time will also depend on how far it is traveling and which UPS service the client has taken.
If at all the tracking feature is displaying in transit for more than 4 days, then you should reach out to UPS. The customer can call the customer service team of UPS and find out whether the package has not been lost or misplaced. A customer can reach out to customer support, and they will help in checking for the package and update the customer about it.
What Is the Next Logical Update After the in Transit Update?
As we have mentioned multiple times in the above sections in transit is when a package is moving from a UPS outlet to another. The next step after in transit would be the arrival of the package at the new facility. This will mean that the package is in destination scan or arrival scan. The destination scan or the arrival scan only appears when the package has arrived at a new facility. After the scan is done the next notification that a customer will get is Arrived at the UPS facility.
The term Arrived at UPS facility means that the package is at the new facility and is being processed before it is sent out. Once the destination scan is completed at the UPS facility it will move out for the final delivery. Once the package is sent out, and it is about to arrive at the receiver’s address, then the out of delivery notification will pop up. These are the logical steps that come after the in transit update.
Conclusion
UPS is one of the largest delivery and receiving companies in the world. They have their outlets all over the world and offer various services. One of the services they offer is tracking. This service helps their customer track their package till it reaches the receiver. There are certain terms that are used in the tracking option. One of the terms is in transit.

Mumbai: Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw has been discharged from the hospital after undergoing treatment for a bout of typhoid, the franchise said on Sunday. The 22-year-old had been admitted to a hospital due to high fever earlier this month. “Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw has been discharged from the hospital where he was being treated for a bout of typhoid," DC said in a statement.
IPL FULL COVERAGE | SCHEDULE | RESULTS | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP
The opener is being monitored by the Capitals’ medical team. “Shaw has returned to the team hotel where he is currently recuperating, while being monitored by the DC medical team," it added. Shaw last played on May 1 against Lucknow Super Giants. Since then, he has missed the Capitals’ last three matches.
His return will be a major boost for the team. Shaw had himself shared an Instagram post from his hospital bed, saying he is hopeful of coming back soon. In his absence, the team has struggled to find an able replacement to partner the in-form David Warner. Both Mandeep Singh and Srikar Bharat have fizzled out at the top.
In the nine games, he has played in the IPL so far this season, Shaw has scored 259 runs at an average of 28.77 and a strike rate of 160. The Capitals currently have 12 points from 12 games and need to win their remaining two matches to make the playoff.
They face Punjab Kings on Monday.

Pep Guardiola denies he was a significant factor in Erling Haaland’s decision to join Manchester City.
The Premier League champions pulled off a coup this week when they announced they had agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign the much-coveted Norwegian striker for next season for £51million.
Offering the opportunity to work with their inspirational manager Guardiola has been cited as one of the reasons why City have been able to beat off rivals such as Real Madrid for his signature.
The Spaniard, however, is keen to play that down, believing the club is now at a level, playing such an exciting brand of football, that it sells itself.
“The players don’t come for me,” said Guardiola, who is closing in on a fourth Premier League title in five seasons. “They come to play in this league for this club.
“The economic issue is so important, but they can visualise the way we play, the team we are, the city, the league, the Champions League. Many things are involved.
“Players come here not for a few months or one year. Sergio (Aguero) came and stayed 10 years, David (Silva) and Vincent (Kompany) the same. Many important players came and stayed a long time.
“How long depends on how happy they are. What are we going to do? Make them feel absolutely happy in terms of the city, the locker room and many things.
“There are many top incredible players that could play here without a doubt, but what we want is a player who can come here and stay for many years and perform every single game as best as possible.”
Haaland, who already has a connection with City through his father and former player Alf-Inge, boasts a prolific goal-scoring record.
His signing ends City’s long search for a specialist centre forward to replace Aguero, but Guardiola insists more than statistics are considered when players are recruited.
He said: “As much as they are good players, they have (to have) good mentality in terms of, ‘I want to win again and again’ – they are not satisfied after winning.
“The demands of the top teams, the big difference in whether players can handle them, is up here (in the head).
“When you do a pass it is guided from the head, not the feet. This is the most important thing to find. Everything is in the head, every action comes from here, the pressure and mentality is here.
“When you arrive here at City right now or other clubs around the world, the standards are so high you adapt or you cannot be here.”
Guardiola’s side travel to West Ham on Sunday looking to put one hand on the Premier League trophy. Victory would leave them needing just one point from their final fixture to retain the crown.

Liverpool provide Salah injury update after star forced off against Chelsea
Liverpool are relieved to discover that the injury picked up by Mohamed Salah against Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final is nothing too serious.
The Egypt international started against the Blues but was replaced before half-time, following some discomfort that saw him go down in pain.
He was subsequently subbed off for Diogo Jota as the Reds went ahead to beat Thomas Tuchel’s men on penalties after the scores stood 0-0 at the end of 120 minutes.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has now delivered a fitness update on the African star as well as that of Virgil van Dijk, with it confirmed why he replaced Salah and the extent of the knock.
“We had to change Mo early, which was not cool,” the German told the media per Liverpool website.
“It was my decision, it was pretty cautionary. Mo said, ‘I feel something, I can carry on.’ I said, ‘No.’
“A football game is not a perfect physiotherapist, it means it rarely gets better during a game.
“Then Virg stands with me and says, ‘I feel something but it’s fine I think.’
“We make a decision together, so he stays on but was clear when we didn’t make it in 90 minutes he has to go off.”
Liverpool will square up against Southampton in a Premier League match on Tuesday, before closing out their campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers next weekend.
And Klopp hinted that the former Chelsea and Southampton players are unlikely to feature against the Saints at St Mary's Stadium.
“Obviously I spoke to both already after the game, both are really OK. All that we know is it’s not a big thing, we really came through,” he continued.
“But the next game is on Tuesday and that’s obviously pretty quick. No, I think they both will be fine, but not… maybe… we have training tomorrow morning, then if they tell me ‘I’m completely fine’ I will be surprised but I will take it and then we have to go from there. So we will see.”
On May 28, the Premier League outfit would square up against Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Champions League final at Stade de France, Saint-Denis. | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/liverpool-provide-salah-injury-update-after-star-forced-off/blt9ef866a2a88310f9 | 2022-05-15T06:44:28Z | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/liverpool-provide-salah-injury-update-after-star-forced-off/blt9ef866a2a88310f9 | false | 13 |
Addressing a mega rally in Mumbai on Saturday evening, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray compared his cousin brother Raj Thackeray to the iconic Bollywood character Munna Bhai. "In the movie, Munna Bhai suddenly begins acting like Gandhi ji after he sees him in his dreams. Similarly, someone has suddenly started acting like he's Balasaheb Thackeray nowadays. He has suddenly become a 'Hindu hero'. At least Munna Bhai worked for the betterment of people. What about this Munna Bhai? Then I realised, there is some chemical locha [problem] in his head.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Intellectuals, broadcasters and cultural figures from Hungary's Roma community are using the airwaves to reframe narratives and elevate the voices of the country's largest minority group.
Radio Dikh — a Romani word that means “to see” — has broadcast since January on FM radio in Hungary's capital, Budapest. Its 11 programs focus on Roma music, culture and the issues faced by their community, and aim to recast the way the often disadvantaged minority group is perceived by broader society.
“Roma people in general don’t have enough representation in mainstream media … and even if they do, it’s oftentimes not showing the right picture or the picture that is true to the Roma community,” said Bettina Pocsai, co-host of a show that focuses on social issues.
Radio Dikh, she said, aims to "give voice to Roma people and make sure that our voice is also present in the media and that it shows a picture that we are satisfied with.”
Some estimates suggest that Roma in Hungary number nearly 1 million, or around 10% of the population. Like their counterparts throughout Europe, many of Hungary’s Roma are often the subjects of social and economic exclusion, and face discrimination, segregation and poverty.
Adding to their marginalization are stereotypes about Roma roles in society, where they are often associated with their traditional occupations as musicians, dancers, traders and craftspeople that go back centuries.
These expectations have limited the opportunities for Roma people — especially Roma women — to participate and develop their skills in other fields, said Szandi Minzari, host of a women's radio program.
“We are stereotyped by the majority because they tend to believe that we are very good at singing, dancing, speaking about girly subjects and raising the kids, and that’s us. But it’s much more,” Minzari said.
Programming specifically for women runs for two hours every day, and Minzari's show “Zsa Shej” — which means “Let’s go, girls” in the Romani language — focuses on current events and global topics like climate change and other social issues.
Many women in traditional Roma families are highly dependent on male family members, Minzari said, and including them in conversations about topics of public interest is meant to serve as an inspiration for them to engage with a different world.
“We find it very important to speak about heavy subjects … because we are much more than speaking about nail polish and hairdos and Botox," she said, adding that she would like female listeners to come to the conclusion that "The problem is not me. I want more from life and these girls are doing it, and I can do the same.”
Radio Dikh's motto, “About Roma, not just for Roma,” reflects the conviction of the hosts that the station can act as a bridge between Roma and non-Roma Hungarians, and can break narratives that tend to associate their community with poverty and other social problems.
In addition to co-hosting her own show, Pocsai in her free time guides informative tours in Budapest that aim to correct misconceptions about Roma people to both Hungarians and foreign tourists. In the city's 8th district, which has a high concentration of Roma residents, Pocsai gave a presentation to a group of visitors from the United States.
In introducing the Roma's more than 600-year history in Hungary and challenging preconceptions, Pocsai said she aimed to make sure that future generations of Hungarian Roma will not have to go through the challenges she faced as a child.
“I want to change how the Roma people are viewed in society," Pocsai said. "I want to make sure there is enough light on the values that the Roma community provided through history to the non-Roma society.”

Even as its apartment component continues to be developed, the centerpiece of The Hub development along Lovers Lane is nearing completion.
Work on the five-story, 198-room Embassy Suites hotel is continuing concurrently with work on an upscale Tony’s steak-and-seafood restaurant, and developer David Chandler expects both hotel and restaurant to open in “early fall.”
A variance approved Thursday by the Warren County Board of Adjustments allows for outdoor seating at the hotel and the attached restaurant.
Approved was a variance of 13 feet from the required distance of 100 feet from any bar or restaurant providing outdoor space, including outdoor dining areas, when adjacent to a residential area.
It’s another step toward completion of the 103-acre The Hub development put together by Chandler, who has built a number of local hotels, apartment complexes and assisted-living facilities in recent years.
“The Embassy Suites and Tony’s are moving along nicely,” Chandler said. “The plumbing and electrical are almost complete.”
Chandler last year called the 6,000-square-foot Tony’s “a fantastic addition” to The Hub, which was approved for a rezoning last fall that will add 210 more apartments and bring the total development to about 1,000 units.
Residents in those high-end apartments that range in monthly rent from $800 to $1,400 will now have an upscale restaurant nearby.
Tony’s was started in 2010 in Cincinnati by Tony Ricci, an Italian immigrant who added a Lexington location in 2015 and an Indianapolis site in 2018.
The website for Tony’s of Lexington lists a 24-ounce Porterhouse steak for $78 and a 12-ounce filet mignon for $76.
When completed, the Bowling Green Tony’s will be open to the public but will also handle the banquet business for the hotel that will include three conference rooms and a 160-seat banquet room.
Tony’s will also handle the breakfast buffet business at Embassy Suites.
In addition to the variance for The Hub, the board of adjustments on Thursday narrowly approved a conditional-use permit application to operate a religious institution on property at 3259 Glen Lily Road.
Revival Assembly of God and pastor Steven Khai applied for the CUP that will allow them to relocate after their building on Russellville Road was destroyed by the December tornadoes.
But the proposed use of the existing building on a 2.1-acre lot zoned residential estate wasn’t welcomed by some neighbors or by some members of the board of adjustments.
Tim Hartman, who lives on Glen Lily Road, questioned the wisdom of putting a church with a proposed maximum attendance of 40 people in the middle of a residential area.
“I can’t imagine having 40 people there,” Hartman said. “I don’t think the septic system will be adequate. They’re going to need a dumpster, and this is a rural area with skunks and other animals. The dumpster will attract more animals.”
Board members Mike Davenport and Lloyd Ferguson also expressed reservations about putting a church in the area.
“I don’t think it’s compatible with the neighborhood,” said Davenport, who joined Ferguson in voting against the CUP.
Board members Courtlann Atkinson, Elaine Price and Danny Howell voted for the CUP, giving it a 3-2 majority.
Also approved at Thursday’s meeting:
- The application of Betty Boyd Lyne and Jennifer Gail Ballance for a CUP to operate a short-term rental business on 224 acres at 13367 Louisville Road.
- A CUP application from Greg and Jennifer Frey to operate a bed and breakfast business on a 1.3-acre property at 829 Old Tram Road.
- The application of LWE Htoo, Maung Tin Win and Khinmaung Win for a CUP to operate a religious institution on two acres zoned for agriculture at 351 Bays Fork Road.
- A CUP application submitted by Brooke Bush of Elaine Developments LLC and Gabrielle Bush of Cason’s Cove Property Holdings LLC for an agritourism use on 18.78 acres located at 3906 and 3940 Dye Ford Road. | https://www.bgdailynews.com/news/fall-opening-planned-for-hotel-restaurant-in-the-hub/article_f7a974d3-f3b5-5d45-9ef4-ac798d15beb0.html | 2022-05-15T07:28:06Z | https://www.bgdailynews.com/news/fall-opening-planned-for-hotel-restaurant-in-the-hub/article_f7a974d3-f3b5-5d45-9ef4-ac798d15beb0.html | true | 1 |
Harbhajan Singh mourns Symonds’ death, says ‘gone too soon’
Published: Published Date - 10:23 AM, Sun - 15 May 22
New Delhi: India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who was involved in one of the biggest on-field controversies that threatened to spoil the relationship between the Australian and India cricket boards, on Sunday paid his tribute to legendary all-rounder Andrew Symonds who was killed in a car crash in Queensland on Saturday.The off-spinner took to twitter to pay his tribute to the 46-year-old former Australian all-rounder, saying the cricketing great went too soon.
“Shocked to hear about the sudden demise of Andrew Symonds. Gone too soon. Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Prayers for the departed soul. #RIPSymonds,” tweeted Harbhajan.
The charismatic all-rounder played 26 Tests for Australia, scoring 1,462 runs at 40.61 and picking up 24 wickets with his off-spin and gentle medium-pace.
During the second Test of the series between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2008, Symonds scored an unbeaten 162 in the first innings that helped the hosts to a 122-run victory.
However, the Test would later be mired in controversy over the ‘Monkeygate affair’. Symonds accused Harbhajan of calling him a ‘monkey’, which triggering a war of words between the two sides. In fact, India even threatened to cancel the tour and return home after the spinner was initially suspended for three games.
Symonds had then lodged a complaint that he had been racially abused by Harbhajan. The case then went to match referee Mike Procter, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) lodging a protest over their player’s suspension.
However, later the racism charge on Harbhajan could not be proved and the three-Test ban was lifted.
Symonds also featured in in 198 ODIs — scoring six centuries and 30 half-centuries — while also contributing 133 wickets with his more than handy off-spin and medium pace.
It was at the 2003 World Cup where Symonds burst on to the stage with perhaps his greatest innings as he smashed Pakistan with an unbeaten 143 in Johannesburg early in the tournament and helped Australia remain unbeaten and defeat India in a one-sided final.
The right-hander was also part of the victorious World Cup side at the 2007 World Cup in West Indies as Australia claimed their fourth 50-over World Cup title.
Symonds also played 14 T20I for Australia, managing 337 runs and eight wickets. | https://telanganatoday.com/harbhajan-singh-mourns-symonds-death-says-gone-too-soon | 2022-05-15T07:40:55Z | https://telanganatoday.com/harbhajan-singh-mourns-symonds-death-says-gone-too-soon | true | 6 |

Australian prime minister launches campaign days before poll
By ROD McGUIRK
Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s embattled prime minister has officially launched his conservative party’s campaign less than a week before elections, highlighting the nation’s early success in containing the pandemic and its strong economic recovery. Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s coalition trails the center-left Labor Party opposition in most opinion polls as the administration seeks a rare fourth three-year term at elections on Saturday. Morrison on Sunday focused the party launch on economic management, which has traditionally been regarded as the strength of his conservative Liberal Party. He described the election as “a choice between a strong economy or a weaker one that only makes your life harder, not better.” | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/05/14/australian-prime-minister-launches-campaign-days-before-poll/ | 2022-05-15T07:58:53Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/05/14/australian-prime-minister-launches-campaign-days-before-poll/ | false | null |
A day after Marathi actor Ketaki Chitale was arrested for allegedly sharing an objectional post about NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday said such remarks against the veteran politician were unfortunate.
"This is Maharashtra's misfortune," Ajit Pawar, who is also an NCP leader, told reporters.
The Constitution has guaranteed citizens the right to express and free speech. But, people need to keep in mind what they speak and what impact it has on society, he said.
"Sharad Pawar (81) has been in the public life for 60 years. He has never made uncharitable comments (against others) despite facing a lot of criticism and allegations," the deputy CM said.
He called Chitale a "pervert" and termed as "unfortunate" the comments shared by her against Sharad Pawar.
Chitale (29), a film and TV actor, and 23-year-old pharmacy student Nikhil Bhamre were arrested on Saturday for allegedly sharing objectionable social media posts about Sharad Pawar.
While Chitale was arrested by the Thane police on Saturday over a post she allegedly shared on her Facebook page, Bhamre was arrested in Nashik for allegedly making an objectionable comment on Twitter against the NCP head, whose party shares power with the Shiv Sena and Congress in Maharashtra.
The post shared by Chitale, which was in verse form, was purportedly written by someone else. It contained phrases like "hell is waiting" and "you hate Brahmins", allegedly referring to the NCP president.
Chitale was booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 500 (defamation), 501 (printing or engraving matter known to be defamatory), 505 (2) (making, publishing or circulating any statement, rumour or report promoting enmity, hatred or ill will between classes) and 153 A (spreading disharmony among people).

TORONTO (AP) — Nick Paul came through with the best playoff performance of his career when the Tampa Bay Lightning needed it most and the two-time defending champions are moving on again.
Paul scored twice, including an incredible individual effort on the tiebreaking goal late in the second period, and the Lightning beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in Game 7 on Saturday night to win their first-round playoff series.
“The electricity in this building was nuts,” said Paul, a native of Mississauga, Ontario. “To come in and work as hard as we did, there was no doubt in our game. We stuck together.”
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 30 shots for the Lightning.
Morgan Rielly scored for Toronto, which hasn’t reached the second round since 2004 and is now 0-9 in elimination games over the last five postseasons after also losing 4-3 in Game 6 at Tampa, Florida, two nights earlier. Jack Campbell had 23 saves.
“A great hockey team,” Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos said of the Maple Leafs. “They’ve got all the pieces. It’s not easy this time of the year. We’ve had some failures in the past … you just move on and you just gotta get over that hump.”
The Maple Leafs were once again unable to push through and finally flip a long, ugly narrative of playoff failures for a franchise that has now lost its last seven series, including six straight dating back to 2017.
“It’s hard to explain,” Toronto captain John Tavares said. “It’s frustrating, hard to fathom. It stings, it hurts, it’s disappointing.”
Toronto is now 7-3 all-time at home in Game 7s, including a loss at Scotiabank Arena last season after blowing a 3-1 series lead against the Montreal Canadiens.
“A game of inches,” said Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews, who scored 60 goals during the regular season and four more in playoffs. “Unfortunately we’re on the bad side of things tonight. It’s really frustrating. Every guy in there competed and gave it their all. They made one more play than us.”
Down 1-0 after 20 minutes in this one, the Maple Leafs appeared to tie the score at 11:28 of the second when Tavares roofed a shot on Vasilevskiy, but the goal was waved off after Toronto defenseman Justin Holl was whistled for interference.
Campbell had to make a couple of desperation stops on the ensuing penalty kill to set the stage for Rielly’s equalizer off a setup from Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews to score his third of the playoffs at 6:35 to send the crowd of 19,316 into a chaotic frenzy.
The goal was the first surrendered by Vasilevskiy and the Lightning in their last six series-deciding games.
William Nylander then missed high on a breakaway and the Tampa goaltender robbed Matthews with the Maple Leafs buzzing.
But Paul scored his second of the night — and second ever in the playoffs — with 3:28 remaining in the period on a terrific play where he kicked the puck from his skate to his stick.
Tampa nearly made it 3-1 late in the period when Kucherov hit the goal post from the slot.
Vasilevskiy was under siege throughout Toronto power play just over six minutes into the third, but kept the home side at bay despite some furious pressure.
Toronto continued to press inside an anxious, tension-filled rink as the clock ticked down.
The Maple Leafs, however, just couldn’t find a way through with Campbell on the bench for an extra skater to complete another chapter of playoff disappointment.
“This one hurts more because this was a really good team that really played hard,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. “You can debate the merits of any sort of credit that you might want to give our team. But I don’t know if you can debate anything that you give the Tampa Bay Lightning, and who they are and what they stand for and what they’ve accomplished.
“And we’re right there standing with them.”
Brayden Point, who scored the winner in Tampa’s Game 6 victory to extend the series, was injured late in the first period when his right leg got caught underneath him as he fell to the ice. The forward — in agony as he headed down the tunnel to the locker room — tried to return for the second period, but shut it down after a brief shift.
“When Pointer got hurt it seemed to lock the entire team in,” Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. “I don’t think we looked back.”
The Lightning went up 1-0 moments after Point went down in the first when Paul, who had a number of chances in Game 5 with his team ahead before Toronto roared back, scored his first. Campbell made the initial stop on Ross Colton’s one-timer off the rush that nicked Rielly’s stick, but the rebound fell to Paul at 1:36 as Toronto surrendered the first goal for a fourth straight game.
The Lightning were playing in just their second Game 7 since the start of the 2020 playoffs after defeating the New York Islanders 1-0 on home in the semifinals last June.
This was Toronto’s first Game 7 at home with fans — the club’s 2021 loss against Montreal was played in front of 550 health-care workers because of COVID-19 restrictions — since 2004 when Joe Nieuwendyk scored twice to oust the Ottawa Senators. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national-sports/paul-scores-2-lightning-hold-off-maple-leafs-2-1-in-game-7/ | 2022-05-15T08:11:24Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national-sports/paul-scores-2-lightning-hold-off-maple-leafs-2-1-in-game-7/ | false | 23 |
Shehbaz Sharif to arrive in the country Sunday
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit the United Arab Emirates Sunday to offer condolences on the demise of President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The prime minister will meet the newly elected President of the UAE Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan on behalf of the government and the people of Pakistan.
According to the APP, the prime minister will convey sympathies and condolences of the leadership, the government and people of Pakistan.
He will arrive in the country from London where he is currently staying.
“Pakistan and the UAE are bound by close fraternal relationship. Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the relationship between Pakistan and the UAE scaled new heights,” reads a statement released by the Foreign Office.
The Government of Pakistan announced three-day national mourning over the death of Sheikh Khalifa.
PM Sharif congratulated Sheikh Muhammad bin Zayed upon his election as the UAE president.
In a tweet, the prime minister said, “Heartiest congratulations to my brother @MohamedBinZayed on his election as new President of UAE. I extend best wishes to him and look forward to working together to further strengthen our multifaceted partnership. Pakistan-UAE fraternal ties are destined to scale new height.”
Heartiest congratulations to my brother @MohamedBinZayed on his election as new President of UAE. I extend best wishes to him and look forward to working together to further strengthen our multifaceted partnership. Pakistan-UAE fraternal ties are destined to scale new heights, IA

The UAE’s long-time de facto ruler Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was elected as president on Saturday, official media said, a day after the death of former leader Sheikh Khalifa.
The 61-year-old was unanimously elected by the Federal Supreme Council, WAM news agency said, becoming the ruler of the oil-rich country founded by his father in 1971.
Sheikh Mohamed, often known as ‘MBZ’, met members of the Federal Supreme Council, made up of rulers of the UAE’s seven emirates, as the country enters a period of mourning for his half-brother Sheikh Khalifa.
Sheikh Mohamed’s ascension, which was widely expected, formalises his position as leader of the desert state of 10 million after years of calling the shots while Sheikh Khalifa was sidelined by poor health.
Under his low-key direction, the United Arab Emirates has put a man in space, sent a probe to Mars and opened its first nuclear reactor, while using its oil-funded clout to develop a more assertive foreign policy.

Srinagar, May 15 : &K Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday ordered a probe into the tear gas shelling incident on protesting Kashmiri Pandits on May 13.
“Strict action will be taken against officials involved in the action,” administrative sources said.
Police had used tear gas against Kashmir Pandits, who were protesting peacefully against the killing of government employee, Rahul Bhat, by terrorists inside a government office.
Manoj Sinha said, “Rahul Bhat’s killing is targeted one. SIT to probe it from all angles along with probing use of force to disperse Kashmiri migrant protestors in aftermath of incident. 2 foreign militants killed. Directions given to administration to not use force anywhere.”
The government decided to give a job to Bhat’s widow and financial assistance to the family.
In addition to the formation of an SIT to probe Bhat’s murder, the station house officer (SHO) of Chadoora police station was removed.
Bhat was killed during office hours in Chadoora town on May 12.

Jeremy Hunt declines to say Boris Johnson is an honest man following partygate scandal
Former Conservative leadership candidate Jeremy Hunt has declined to say that Boris Johnson is an honest man in the wake of the partygate scandal.
Mr Hunt was asked the question on the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme with Sophie Raworth.
In response he twice replied that “talking about personalities is not a helpful thing to do”, despite being told by Ms Raworth that it was a “simple question”.
On the issue of whether Mr Johnson was the best person for the job, Mr Hunt said: “I hope he can turn things around.” He did say, however, that he thought that Tory MPs should support the prime minister “in the situation we are now in” with the war in Ukraine.
And asked if Mr Johnson would take his party into the next general election, he said that he “hopes so”.
However, he acknowledged that the Tories have a “big mountain to climb” to win back some of its traditional voters.

The secret to making vegan chocolate is only using two ingredients
On a rural property in Mahurangi, north of Auckland, David and Janelle Herrick make some of the best vegan chocolate in the country.
The Foundry chocolate makers said they got into the bean-to-bar business five years ago because “they just really love food”. David, who has a background in marketing, had his interest piqued by an article about a Londoner crafting chocolate on a micro scale. And then taught himself.
”If you think about how different grapes are from around the world, and how the wines all taste different to one another – it’s actually the same with chocolate.”
The Herricks source cacao from seven different single origins, in Tanzania, Peru, Vanuatu, Uganda, India and Papua New Guinea. Their Kilombero Valley Tanzania bar was the Supreme winner at the inaugural Vegan Chocolate Awards, held by the Vegan Society Aotearoa in April, and also the bean-to-bar category winner.

“The way we roast the beans, each origin with only two ingredients tastes utterly, completely different,” David said.
Because the bars are only made from cacao beans and organic cane sugar, they’re naturally vegan.
There are different grades of cacao, they explain. Most supermarket chocolates use inexpensive cacao beans, and then have to amp up the flavour with milk powder, butter, vanilla and so on “to make it more palatable”, as well as consistent, no matter what bean harvest a big brand is dealing with.
“When you’re dealing with the absolute best cacao in the world, you can make chocolate like this that tastes incredible, and feels incredible as-is,” said David.
Janelle added: “Think of it like a wine flight. Every harvest is slightly different.”
David spent four months profiling the flavours in their 2020 Tanzania beans, which have “refreshing and fruity tasting notes” of stonefruit, Christmas cake, and even cherries.
And not all vegan chocolate has to be dark, as we know it. Dark supermarket chocolate has a bitter quality, but dark Ugandan two-ingredient chocolate tastes like berries and cream and marshmallow, according to the Herricks.
“And you’d swear it’s milk [chocolate], but it’s actually not,” said David.
“All our lives, we’ve been told that chocolate is a flavour,” Janelle said. “Chocolate milkshake, chocolate cake, chocolate biscuits. But chocolate actually has flavour – different flavours.”
Most of Foundry’s customers are foodies, rather than vegans, they said. But the audience is growing.
“When a child with dietary needs asks us, ‘what can I eat?’, and we get to say ‘everything’, that’s the coolest part,” said Janelle.
The Foundry’s single origin range is 70% cacao, so you can taste all those individualities. But they also make “seriously dark” 90 and 100% for the committed dark chocolate fans.
A tight-knit community of about 10 chocolate-enthusiasts make all the bean-to-bar treats in New Zealand, including the Herricks’ friend Gabe Davidson, of Wellington Chocolate Factory (WCF).
WCF has been making its internationally acclaimed dark chocolate Peru Bar, “since [its] very beginning” in 2013. It picked up a seventh accolade in the Vegan Society’s awards, for the best dark chocolate.
“I feel a really strong connection with Peru,” said Davidson, who visits his farmers regularly, but the week we spoke had flown up to Auckland to proffer speciality hot chocolates at a Karen Walker pop up.
Typically, the Peru bar’s flavour profile includes stone fruit, apricot, raisin, and honey. But depending on the seasonal variants of a harvest, one characteristic may be more exaggerated than the rest.
And despite it having been on shelves for more than a decade, “we’re kind of nerds, so we’re always tweaking the recipe,” Davidson said.
The bar’s quality comes down to knowing the bean well. “We play with how we roast, how long we roast, at what temperature, and how long we refine the nibs for in the grinder,” Davidson said.
He also nabbed the award for best milk chocolate, for his new coconut milk chocolate bar – something he admits, he “never thought he’d do”.
“I'm too much of a purist,” he said.
However, his own plant-based eating journey steered him towards alternative milks, and how he might use them. “I thought it'd be fun – asking, can we make a chocolate bar that’s delicious, using only ingredients from the coconut and the cacao trees?”
But, how do you make milk chocolate without any milk?
Farmers take the sap from the unripe coconut pods before they flower. They put that sap into a high-tech wok with a wooden spoon, where it’s crystallised from a liquid. The resulting coconut sugar has a lower GI than regular sugar.
“So it’s essentially a health food.”
It’s then added to coconut milk powder to make the bar.
The sweetness sits somewhere between what you might expect from a dairy milk chocolate, and dark chocolate bar. “If somebody’s not a dark chocolate fan, then they will definitely like the coconut milk chocolate. It’s quite a bit sweeter, and very creamy. It’s a bit softer, and doesn’t snap in the same way.”
Davidson tries to balance out the competing flavours, so when you bite into the bar, the coconut isn’t overwhelming.
He’s also excited about what this experiment will mean for the future of his craft. Coconut is quite a ubiquitous ingredient across the plant-based food pyramid, but theoretically, WCF could do something similar with almonds or oats.
“We intend to make more vegan bars. We're always experimenting.” | https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-drink/128620164/the-secret-to-making-vegan-chocolate-is-only-using-two-ingredients | 2022-05-15T08:45:03Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-drink/128620164/the-secret-to-making-vegan-chocolate-is-only-using-two-ingredients | true | 1 |
- According to IOHK, the testnet might be ready by the end of May.
- Cardano has released a new version of its Daedalus wallet, Daedalus 4.10.0.
Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of Cardano, has announced that the Vasil Hard Fork is on track. Cardano and Plutus, the platform for smart contracts built on Cardano, will see substantial improvements with the Vasil Hard Fork, scheduled on June 29. According to IOHK, the testnet might be ready by the end of May.
Weekly Development Updates
A “massive performance improvement to Cardano” in smart contract capabilities is what Hoskinson believes will be achieved by the impending Vasil Hard Fork update. For example, CIP-31 (Reference Inputs), CIP-32 (Inline Datums), and CIP-33 (Reference Scripts) will be introduced in the forthcoming Vasil update, as disclosed by IOHK.
Every hand is still on deck for the preparation of June’s Vasil Hard Fork event, according to IOHK’s weekly development report. Improvements have been made to the logging and pipelining tests. The UTXO HD integration, which focuses on procedures for testing and troubleshooting, has already started. After redeploying eight IOG nodes, Cardano has added 51 pre-registered SPOs to the P2P testnet so that the network may be analyzed for performance and receive feedback.
This week, Cardano has released a new version of its Daedalus wallet, Daedalus 4.10.0, which fixes a pairing problem with the Ledger Nano S on the Windows operating system and enhances the display of tokens that are not identified. Hydra’s 0.5.0 version was distributed the following week.
In addition, IOHK presented a graphic showing network expansion data. Cardano projects currently under construction have increased from 925 to 937. Cardano has recently seen 84 new projects, while the total number of NFT projects stands at 5,549. The number of Github connections reached 2,609 this week, while the total number of Cardano native coins reached 4.7 million within the same period. | https://recentlyheard.com/2022/05/15/vasil-hard-fork-update-for-cardano-all-set-for-june-29-this-year/ | 2022-05-15T08:48:42Z | https://recentlyheard.com/2022/05/15/vasil-hard-fork-update-for-cardano-all-set-for-june-29-this-year/ | true | 2 |
'Slave labour type salaries' for cyclists is exploitation, commissioner says ahead of review release
Expecting athletes to chase medals while living off “slave labour type salaries” is exploitation, Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Saunoamaali'i Karanina Sumeo says.
The independent review into cycling due to be released on Monday is set to reveal a culture of medals over athletes, and will show athletes experienced a financial shortfall while in the high performance programme. It will recommend a rewrite of athlete agreements, conditions and funding.
The review, established following Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore’s death, will recommend athletes become employees rather than contractors, which means minimum wage and employment law requirements would need to be met.
Athletes have reported living in poverty, including BMX world champion Jessie Smith who said she was told to stop working to focus on her sport. She said on Thursday, because of that request and the limited financial support she received from Cycling NZ, at times she wondered where her next meal would come from, would often miss rent payments and didn’t have enough money to cover the registration or warrant of fitness for her car.

* Inquiry findings do not bring closure for mother of Olivia Podmore, but they do bring hope
She, like others within the cycling high performance programme, received performance enhancement or development training grants. Athletes on performance enhancement grants received before tax between $25,000 and $60,000 as of 2019. The amount they received was based off their success in winning medals at key events, including the Olympics, according to a document obtained by Stuff.
Development training grants were $12,500 per year before tax. The current minimum wage is approximately $44,000 per year.
Several sources told Stuff some athletes within the programme went unpaid, while having to experience the same training and racing expectations as paid teammates.
In December 2021 High Performance Sport New Zealand announced a new funding strategy that would see more than $25 million given directly to athletes. Between 240-260 elite athletes across a range of sports are to receive a base training grant of $25,000 a year, while a further 140-160 developing athletes receive $10,000 per year. Some athletes will be able to earn more via “excellence grants”, based on performance.
Sumeo describes some of the financial support being received by athletes as “slave labour type salaries”.
“It’s called financial exploitation,” she says.
“We’re expecting these people to be … ambassadors for sport, for our country, and that is how much they are worth?
“This is taxpayers' funds. I think if the taxpayer saw that payment in comparison to the minimum wage, they would be appalled. And yet, we expect our superstars to perform and represent us. But we’re not treating them at all in a way that is decent.”
She says being an athlete is a job, and it needs to be treated as such. She says the current structure is an “inhumane way to treat our people”.
“They [athletes] represent us. We wouldn’t want to be known as exploiters of our own people on the international stage,” she says.
“Let’s be honest about it, and we need to do better. We need to make sure that we obey our employment laws when we're engaging and contracting the services of athletes.
“There is a view out there that if you are a sports person, it’s a privilege. But we have to recognise it as an employment relationship. We need to see it in that light, because that is what it is.”
Athletes Federation general manager Roger Mortimer says the athletes have “suffered for too long”.
He says it’s because of a direct result of not being given the opportunity to be independently represented in a “genuine process that mutually agrees the terms and conditions of their working environment directly with the New Zealand sports system”.
“As has been experienced in many other sports, until this occurs meaningful change will not be realised.”
The independent review, spanning more than 100 pages and more than 25 recommendations, and overseen by Mike Heron QC and leading academic Sarah Leberman, is set to be released publicly on Monday.
It will address a culture of medals over athletes, favouritism, a disconnect between staff and athletes, the “concerning” use of non-disclosure agreements, the centralised high performance model, staff hiring practices and a lack of consideration of women’s health.
In a joint statement on Friday Cycling NZ and High Performance NZ said they will comment after the inquiry panel has given their context regarding the review at a media conference on Monday. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/women-in-sport/300588346/slave-labour-type-salaries-for-cyclists-is-exploitation-commissioner-says-ahead-of-review-release | 2022-05-15T08:52:54Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/women-in-sport/300588346/slave-labour-type-salaries-for-cyclists-is-exploitation-commissioner-says-ahead-of-review-release | true | 1 |
WEISSENHAUS, Germany — The Group of Seven leading economies warned Saturday that the war in Ukraine is stoking a global food and energy crisis which threatens poor countries, and urgent measures are needed to unblock stores of grain that Russia is preventing from leaving Ukraine.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who hosted a meeting of top G-7 diplomats, said the war had become a "global crisis."
She said up to 50 million people, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, would face hunger in the coming months unless ways are found to release Ukrainian grain, which accounts for a sizeable share of the worldwide supply.
In statements released at the end of the three-day meeting on Germany's Baltic Sea coast, the G-7 pledged to provide further humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable.
"Russia's war of aggression has generated one of the most severe food and energy crises in recent history which now threatens those most vulnerable across the globe," the group said.
"We are determined to accelerate a coordinated multilateral response to preserve global food security and stand by our most vulnerable partners in this respect," it added.
Canada's foreign minister, Melanie Joly, said her country, another major agricultural exporter, stands ready to send ships to European ports so Ukrainian grain can be brought to those in need.
"We need to make sure that these cereals are sent to the world," she told reporters. "If not, millions of people will be facing famine."
Russia dismissed the claim that it was responsible for worsening global hunger and driving up food prices.
"Prices are rising because of sanctions imposed by the West under pressure of the USA," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. "Failure to understand this is a sign either of stupidity or intentional misleading of the public."
The G-7 nations also called on China not to help Russia, including by undermining international sanctions or justifying Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
Beijing should support the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, and not "assist Russia in its war of aggression," they said.
The G-7 urged China "to desist from engaging in information manipulation, disinformation and other means to legitimize Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine."
The grouping, which comprises Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, also reiterated its stance that the territories seized by Russian forces need to be returned to Ukraine.
"We will never recognize borders Russia has attempted to change by military aggression," they said.
The meeting in Weissenhaus, northeast of Hamburg, was billed as an opportunity for officials to discuss the broader implications of the war for geopolitics, energy and food security, and ongoing international efforts to tackle climate change and the pandemic.
In a series of closing statements, the G-7 nations also addressed a wide range of global problems from the situation in Afghanistan to tensions in the Middle East.
On Friday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba appealed to friendly countries to provide more military support to Kyiv and increase the pressure on Russia, including by seizing its assets abroad to pay for rebuilding Ukraine.
Kuleba said his country remains willing to talk to Russia about unblocking grain supplies stuck in Ukraine's silos and also about reaching a political agreement to end the war itself, but had so far received "no positive feedback" from Moscow.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in an interview published Saturday that he had not detected any change in Putin's stance recently.
Scholz, who spoke at length by phone with the Russian leader Friday, told German news portal t-online that Putin had failed to achieve the military objectives he set out at the start of the war while losing more Russian soldiers than the Soviet Union did during its decade-long campaign in Afghanistan.
"Putin should slowly begin to understand that the only way out of this situation is through an agreement with Ukraine," Scholz was quoted as saying.
One idea discussed at the G-7 meeting was whether Russian state assets frozen abroad can be used to pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
"Russia bears responsibility for the massive damage resulting from this war," Baerbock said. "And that's why it's a question of justice that Russia should have to pay for this damage."
But she added that, unlike in Canada — where legislation allows for seized funds to be repurposed — the legal basis for doing so in Germany is uncertain.
"But that's precisely what such meetings are for, to have an exchange about how to resolve these legal questions," Baerbock said.
Many of the foreign ministers traveled straight on to an informal meeting of NATO diplomats in Berlin on Saturday and Sunday.
That gathering will consider moves by Finland and Sweden to join the military alliance amid concerns about the threat from Russia, as well as ways in which NATO can support Ukraine without being drawn into the conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was unable to attend the G-7 meeting after recovering from a COVID-19 infection, was expected at the NATO gathering.

James Milner is determined to add at least one more trophy to Liverpool’s domestic cup double but says this will be a “special season no matter what” happens over the next fortnight.
There are just three matches remaining in the Reds’ quest for an unprecedented quadruple.
Jurgen Klopp’s side kept those hopes alive by repeating February’s Carabao Cup win on Saturday, with a goalless 120 minutes followed by another penalty shoot-out victory against Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
The Reds will lock horns with Real Madrid at the Stade de France in the Champions League final on May 28, but first comes their final Premier League matches against Southampton and Wolves.
Milner knows former club Manchester City have the upper hand in the title race, but feels a second-placed finish would not take the edge off an unforgettable Liverpool campaign.
“You guys can keep talking about it,” he said of the quadruple. “For us, we just need to take a game at a time like we have done all year.
“We have three games left. We will try and win them and see where that takes us.
“We know it’s in City’s hands. They’re in a good position and they’re a relentless, very good team.
“So, for us to be where we are at this point in the season, to have two trophies in the cabinet and to still have a glimmer of hope in the other two, it’s been a special season no matter what.
“But we want at least one other piece of silverware.”
Milner’s second FA Cup triumph came 11 years after his first win, with the veteran coming off the bench in the second half of Saturday’s match to add to energy and experience in midfield.
Asked what Klopp’s message to him was when replacing Naby Keita, he said: “Just use your experience and try to get the energy and aggression into the game, but also be calm when we’ve got the ball.
“That was the message and that’s what we tried to do. Go in and try to lift the guys.
“They’ve played so many games, the effort they put in continually.
“You could see the fatigue out there, a couple of niggles as well, a couple of the boys coming off and things like that.
“The effort and workload the boys have put in this season has been an incredible, the amount of games they’ve had.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the attitude and the drive within the dressing room to keep going, no matter what’s happening, no matter how the game is going, the fatigue, mentally.
“They just keep going and going, pressing into extra-time and the boys up front pressing.
“This is a special group of not only players but staff as well. It’s a special group.”
That steely drive means FA Cup celebrations remained sensible as Klopp’s side turned attention to Tuesday’s league trip to Southampton.
“He knows that the boys are bang at it,” Milner said. “You’ve got to celebrate it, you’ve got to enjoy it but obviously we’ve got another game coming up quickly, like it’s been all season.
“All season it’s been the same – another game to concentrate on.
“The mentality of the boys has been so good to be able to refocus and go again.” | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4293908/liverpool-season-special-no-matter-how-many-trophies-they-win-james-milner/ | 2022-05-15T09:05:51Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/world/4293908/liverpool-season-special-no-matter-how-many-trophies-they-win-james-milner/ | true | 12 |
Four people continue to be trapped inside a 300-feet deep quarry near Ponnakudi in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district after a giant stone fell inside it on Saturday, 14 May, night.
Asra Garg, Inspector General of Police, Southern Range told NDTV that two people have been rescued from the quarry so far by the fire service officials. Rescue operations are currently underway to bring the others to safety.
The incident reportedly happened after boulders at the quarry mines in Muneer Pallam area rolled from top and a giant stone fell into the quarry. Due to this, their truck was made immobile, an official told the publication.
Meanwhile, a 30-member team of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) from 4th Battalion Arakkonam has been rushed to the site to rescue those who are trapped. A 24X7 control room is also monitoring the situation, reported news agency ANI.
On Sunday morning, a helicopter was also roped in to carry out the rescue operations.
"The structure of the quarry is such that it could take some more time to rescue all those trapped. At the moment we are not sure if there are more people trapped in the quarry other than the four workers", Garg told NDTV.

Cameroon's Zamkel Ze boosts Metz survival chances; Munetsi & Doumbia’s goals send St Etienne closer to Ligue 1 relegation
Cameroon forward Didier Zamkel Ze scored the only goal as Metz won their second straight match to boost their chances of avoiding direct relegation with a 1-0 victory over Angers in the penultimate round of the Ligue 1 season on Saturday.
Hopes of automatic survival are over for Metz, who are four points behind 17th placed Lorient with one match remaining, but they have a route to survival if they remain 18th and beat the winner of the Ligue 2 promotion playoffs.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe international midfielder Marshall Munetsi and his Mali counterpart Moussa Doumbia scored a goal apiece as Stade de Reims sent AS St Etienne closer to relegation following a 2-1 victory.

Munetsi netted the opener for Reims after just two minutes before defender Eliaquim Mangala fired in a rebound to give hosts St Etienne hope with a 12th-minute minute equaliser. However, Doumbia made sure of the points for the visitors after 61 minutes from 18 yards out.
With the defeat, St Etienne drop into the automatic relegation places, leaving them behind Metz in the relegation play-off place on goal difference and will need to win their final game against Nantes while hoping Metz drop points to make the playoffs.
Elsewhere, Algerian forward Youcef Belaili was on target for Stade Brestois before Monaco came from behind to win 4-2 with Wissam Ben Yedder grabbing a hat-trick for the principality side, who now sit second on the table.
Brest went ahead through French defender Jean-Kevin Duverne after just 10 minutes before Belaili added a second 13 minutes later, but any hopes of an upset were extinguished on the stroke of half-time when Ben Yedder reduced the arrears from the spot.
The Frenchman would add further goals in the 51st and 54th minutes before Kevin Volland added gloss on the scoresheet 20 minutes from time as Monaco won five consecutive Ligue 1 home games for the first time since 2019 to pip Marseille into second place.
Marseille lost second place following a 2-0 away defeat to Rennes who could kick them out of the Champions League places altogether next week if they win their final game against deposed champions Lille while the former lose to Strasbourg.
Fourth-placed Rennes (65 points) are just three points behind Marseille and will occupy third place on goal difference with a win, coupled with a defeat to the latter since they have scored 21 goals more.
Senegal internationals Pape Gueye and Bamba Dieng featured for Marseille in Saturday’s match but could not contribute much.
At the Groupama Stadium, Cameroon international Karl Toko-Ekambi played 90 minutes as Olympique Lyonnais secured a fourth successive home win by defeating Nantes 3-2 with Nigerian forward Moses Simon featuring the entire match for the visitors.
Despite the win Peter Bosz’s men are set to miss out on European football given they will finish outside the top seven for the first time since 1996, piling more pressure on the already under-fire coach. | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/cameroon-zamkel-ze-metz-munetsi-doumbia-st-etienne-ligue-1/bltb7faed93c4a9927e | 2022-05-15T09:30:41Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ae/news/cameroon-zamkel-ze-metz-munetsi-doumbia-st-etienne-ligue-1/bltb7faed93c4a9927e | true | 10 |
Jesy Nelson has flown to London after a prolonged trip to LA, on the last night of Little Mix's tour, before her former band go on a break.
At their swansong concert, Jesy's ex bandmates reflected on their decade together, but she was seemingly absent from emotional montages and speeches - following her December 2020 exit from the group.
However, the 30-year-old didn't seem phased by the apparent snub, sharing the news on her Instagram that she was heading to The UK.
In a snap on her Instastory Jesy looked relaxed and happy as she sat between two friends, writing in the caption: "My boys, my family, my absolute weirdos what a bloody two months it's been."
Tagging her friends, she continued: "London baby here we come," followed by emojis of a union jack and a heart.
In a short clip on her Instastory, Jesy says goodbye to the spacious and modern LA pad she's been staying in, and also posted a picture of her friends queuing with bags and bags of luggage, and then the amazing view from the plane.
Jesy has been lapping up the sun in California over recent weeks - after extending her stay on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean last month.
Earlier yesterday she took to Instagram to reveal her American base had become a hot spot for local wildlife.
In the clip the X-Factor star laughed with a flatmate as she pondered why animals keep entering their home.
Jesy called it quits with Little Mix in December 2020, nine years on from the band becoming the first group to win The Factor, citing mental health reasons.
Since the seemingly amicable split, things have turned a little frostier recently - with a blackfishing row and admissions on both sides that the remaining Little Mix trio and Jesy no long speak.
"It is sad but honestly there is no bad blood from my side," Jesy told Graham Norton in October last year.
"I still love them to pieces and genuinely wish them all the best. I loved my time with them, and we’ve got the most incredible memories together but It’s just one of those things which needs to take time, so who knows.
"To me they are still the sickest girl band in the world," she added to the chat show host, before going on to perform her first - and so far only - solo single, Boyz.
Little Mix 's final performance took place at London’s O2 Arena last night, and there wasn't a dry eye in the building.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and J ade Thirlwall all broke down in tears throughout the night, as they came to the end of their 'Confetti' tour and prepared to go on a hiatus as a band.
The talented trio wept as they belted out some of their biggest hits, including Shout Out To My Ex and Break Up Song. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/jesy-nelson-finally-leaves-la-26968767 | 2022-05-15T09:31:27Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/jesy-nelson-finally-leaves-la-26968767 | false | 2 |
Sheffield United welcomed Nottingham Forest to Bramall Lane yesterday for the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final. It was played in front of a second successive sell-out crowd as fans backed their side in numbers and created a fantastic atmosphere.
However, it was the visitors who have taken the advantage into the second meeting on Tuesday evening courtesy of a 2-1 win. It was a cracking game for the neutral to enjoy and there was plenty going on away from the action.
Here are the Sheffield United moments you may have missed.
Red and white army
The players walked out to a red and white display from supporters in the John Street stand as the club reinforced its 'United until the end' message. Paul Heckingbottom had called for the fans to get their early and 'understand their role' in creating a charged atmosphere and to get behind the team.
And they did just that. It was the best home atmosphere of the season. Supporters were in early to take advantage of the offers put on by the club ahead of kick-off and they responded to the call to arms. There had been fears there may be some empty seats but it was another capacity crowd and the United faithful were in superb voice and really backed the team right from the off.
Those supporters in the John Street stand arrived to find either a red or white rolled up piece of card waiting for them. They were required to hold it up and create the colourful image and for it to be the first thing the players could see.
But what fans will not know is the lengths the club went to on Friday to make that happen. Staff from a number of departments were joined by players from the academy who all chipped in and gave their time to roll up more than 8,000 individual pieces of card.
This really was a United effort and everyone deserves credit from those who spent hours on end on this task to the fans, who then did their bit in backing their team in numbers and in voice.
Respect for David McGoldrick
That fine support was not confined to the 90 minutes but also before the game when popular player David McGoldrick was presented to the crowd ahead of kick-off. The striker will be released when his contract comes to an end in June and he was afforded a fantastic send-off by the home faithful.
The fans were again superb in the way they showed their appreciation for what he has given this football club and he deserved every bit of his standing ovation. But the respect extended to the dugout, too.
Injured team-mates Oli McBurnie and Billy Sharp, although not playing, were pitchside and the pair never once stopped clapping for the duration of his send-off.
They were then waiting to shake his hand and hug him as he went down the tunnel. He commanded the respect of his everyone at the club and that showed yesterday.
Dave Bassett's wave
The legendary former Blades boss was among a number of VIPs in the director's box and was introduced to the crowd before kick-off by pitchside announcer Gary Sinclair. United fans duly responded as they made their feelings known for the best ever manager.
And Bassett was superb in the way he acknowledged that by standing and giving everyone a wave. It was good to see him back at the place where he provided us all with so many wonderful memories.
Dean Henderson and famous faces
Bassett was not the only famous face in the director's box. Sat to his right was Dean Henderson.
The Manchester United keeper had a two-year loan spell at Bramall Lane and was part of that very special journey to the Premier League and a big part of that ninth-placed finish in the top flight.
It was great to see him back at the club watching and cheering on his old team-mates.
In what looked like a competition to find the most famous Blade, also watching on was Mark Labbett. The Sheffield United fan is a TV personality for his role on the quiz show The Chase and was seen speaking to fans.
John Egan's pre-match stare
The skipper was in full focus mode ahead of kick-off as the two sides took their place in the tunnel. You can sometimes see players speaking between themselves and exchanging pleasantries but Egan was having none of that.
The Sky Sports camera was focusing on the Republic of Ireland international for quite some time as he lined up alongside his Forest counterpart but never once looked at him or changed his eye line. For the full duration he stared forwards and did not budge.
Jack Lester's instruction
Sander Berge's goal has breathed new life into this tie as he headed home a lifeline in added-on time. There was still two minutes remaining and had the Norwegian international not done so United would have been facing a mountain to climb at the City Ground.
Forest were dangerous on the break and United did not cope well with their counter attacking threat. As soon as Berge's header crossed the line, Jack Lester came straight out to Paul Heckingbottom and said 'take the 2-1'.
Heckingbottom agreed and responded by pointing to his head and urging his players to 'think' and not do anything silly now having come back into this one.
Robinson and Spence
Djed Spence took exception to a Jack Robinson challenge just one minute before half-time and both had to be separated. The United player made sure his presence was felt when the pair landed following an aerial challenge and Spence immediately got up and grabbed hold of Robinson's collar.
The United man loves a good scrap and battle and he gave as good as he got before players separated them. They were both duly shown a yellow card. | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/dave-bassett-wave-dean-henderson-23961902 | 2022-05-15T09:32:07Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/dave-bassett-wave-dean-henderson-23961902 | true | 1 |
NATO says Russia’s war falters; Ukraine hails Eurovision win
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Almost three months after Russia shocked the world by invading Ukraine, its military faced a bogged-down war, a revitalized NATO and a defending country invigorated by its win in a hugely popular pan-European music competition Sunday.
Ukraine’s leader hailed the country’s morale-boosting victory in the Eurovision Song Contest. With Western military officials saying Russia’s invasion had lost momentum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed his nation would claim the customary honor of hosting the next annual competition.
“Step by step, we are forcing the occupiers to leave the Ukrainian land,” Zelenskyy said
Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won the glitzy, televised Eurovision contest with its song “Stefania,” which has become a popular anthem among Ukrainians during the war. Votes from home viewers across Europe cemented the victory.
Top NATO diplomats, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, gathered Sunday in Berlin to discuss the war and moves by Finland, Sweden and other countries to join the Western military alliance over mounting worry about Russia’s intensions.
“The brutal invasion (by) Russia is losing momentum,” NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoana said. “We know that with the bravery of the Ukrainian people and army, and with our help, Ukraine can win this war.”
WARNING: Some videos used may contain graphic content.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has justified the war in Ukraine by claiming it was a response to NATO’s expansion in Eastern Europe.
The assessments of Russia’s war performance by Ukraine’s supporters came as Russian troops retreated from around Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, after bombarding it for weeks. They and Ukraine’s fighters are engaged in a grinding battle for the country’s eastern industrial heartland, the Donbas.
Russia has now likely lost one-third of the ground combat forces it committed in February and continues to suffer “consistently high levels of attrition” while failing to achieve any substantial territorial gains over the past month, Britain’s Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence update Sunday.
“Russia’s Donbas offensive has lost momentum and fallen significantly behind schedule,” the ministry said on Twitter, adding that the forces are suffering “continued low morale and reduced combat effectiveness.”
“Under the current conditions, Russia is unlikely to dramatically accelerate its rate of advance over the next 30 days,” the ministry said.
With Russian forces now pulling back from the northeastern city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s military has said Moscow is now focusing on guarding supply routes, while launching mortar, artillery and airstrikes in the eastern region of Donetsk in an attempt to deplete Ukrainian forces and destroy fortifications.
Kharkiv, which is near the Russian border and only 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of the Russian city of Belgorod, has undergone weeks of intense shelling. The largely Russian-speaking city with a prewar population of 1.4 million was a key military objective earlier in the war, when Moscow hoped to capture and hold major cities.
Russia also hit railways, factories and other infrastructure across Ukraine. A Russian missile hit “military infrastructure facilities” in the Yavoriv district of western Ukraine, near the border with Poland. early Sunday morning. There was no immediate information on dead or injured, said Lviv Regional Governor Maksym Kozytskyy on the Telegram messaging app.
Russia has been targeting rail facilities and other critical infrastructure in western Ukraine a major gateway for NATO-supplied weapons. Western officials have said despite the attacks there has been no appreciable impact on Ukraine’s ability to resupply its forces.
After failing to capture Kyiv following the Feb. 24 invasion, Putin has shifted his focus eastward to the Donbas, aiming to encircle Ukraine’s most experienced and best-equipped troops, and to seize territory still under Ukraine’s control.
Russian forces control a horseshoe-shaped swath of territory in the Ukrainian areas of Donetsk and Luhansk, which make up the Donbas region, the border area where Ukraine has battled Moscow-backed separatists since 2014.
Airstrikes and artillery barrages make it extremely dangerous for journalists to move around in the east, hindering efforts to get a full picture of the fighting. But it appears to be a back-and-forth slog without major breakthroughs on either side.
In his nightly address Saturday, Zelenskyy said “the situation in Donbas remains very difficult” and Russian troops were “still trying to come out at least somewhat victorious.”
In the southern Donbas, the Azov Sea port of Mariupol is now largely in Russian control, except for the few hundred troops left in the Azovstal steel factory.
A convoy of between 500 and 1,000 cars carrying civilians out of the city was reportedly able to reach the Ukrainian-held city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, while Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said authorities were negotiating the evacuation of 60 severely wounded troops at the steelworks.
Turkey’s presidential spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said the country had offered to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians by ship from Azovstal, according to official state broadcaster TRT. Kalin said Russian and Ukrainian officials had not given Turkey a clear answer regarding the evacuation plan, but that it was still on the table.
The invasion of Ukraine has other countries along Russia’s flank worried they could be next, and in the past week the president and prime minister of Finland said they favor seeking NATO membership.
Sweden’s governing Social Democratic Party is set to announce its decision on NATO membership Sunday. If it comes out in favor, as is expected, an application to join the Western military alliance could happen within days.
In a phone call Saturday, Putin told Finnish President Sauli Niinisto that there are no threats to Finland’s security and joining NATO would be an “error” and “negatively affect Russian-Finnish relations.”
NATO operates by consensus, and the Nordic nations’ potential bids were thrown into question Friday when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country is “not of a favorable opinion.”
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu accused the two countries of supporting Kurdish rebel groups, but suggested Turkey would not necessarily block them joining NATO.
“These are the issues that we need to talk, of course, with our NATO allies,” he said.

Today marks a game-changing full moon eclipse (on the East Coast, the full moon happens just after midnight on May 16). The tension in the air is thick. Eclipses often trigger big changes, and some of the things that we could see making headlines between now and the next six months could be issues concerning extreme weather, the financial market, public infrastructure and mental health. Some major info also could be revealed. To best navigate these choppy waters, we should practice healthy boundaries, nurture our emotional well-being and aim to let go of anything that's become unsustainable or outworn.

Samsung recently announced the release of Galaxy A53 5G in Nigeria and other parts of the world, making it the latest addition to the Galaxy A Series family, Samsung’s best-selling line. Apparently prepared for the next generation technology 5G, all Samsung A series devices released so far this year are 5G-enabled.
Nigerians buying this phone now will be making a future investment ahead of 5G deployment, which has been slated for the fourth quarter of this year.
Aside from the 5G capability, the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G spots some of the great features that Samsung phones are known for. However, not much has changed, certainly not enough to entice current owners of other recent Galaxy A series.
Key features
- Display: 6.50″ Super AMOLED, 120Hz, 800 nits (HBM), 1080x2400px resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 405ppi.
- Chipset: Exynos 1280 (5 nm): Octa-core (2×2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G68.
- Memory: 128GB 4GB RAM, 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 6GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM; microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot).
- OS/Software: Android 12, One UI 4.1.
- Rear camera: Wide (main): 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm, 1/1.7X”, 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS; Ultra wide angle: 12 MP, f/2.2, 123-degree, 1.12µm; Macro: 5 MP, f/2.4; Depth: 5 MP, f/2.4.
- Front camera: 32 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.8″, 0.8µm.
- Body: 159.6×74.8×8.1mm, 189g; plastic body, glass front; IP67 dust/water resistant (up to 1m for 30 mins).
- Battery: 5000mAh; Fast charging 25W.
- Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); Virtual proximity sensing.
Pros
- Trendy attractive design
- IP67 dust/water resistant
- The A53 5G has a larger 5,000mAh battery than its predecessor
- Bright AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
- Latest One UI 4.1 and Android 12 setup
- 4K video recording
Cons
- No 3.5 mm audio jack
- No Wi-Fi 6 support
- No FM radio
Bottom line
The A53 5G is pretty much identical both in terms of specs and design to its predecessor. While Samsung has already raised the bar with previous Galaxy A models, the A53 5G fails to meet those expectations. The move to a new Exynos 1280 chipset, while more than likely fiscally sound and great for Samsung, actually constitutes an all-around downgrade compared to last year’s Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset.
In all, the A53 5G is a good mid-range device for those who can spend more for the Samsung bragging rights, though there are several other Android devices in the market with similar features at lower prices. | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/15/samsung-galaxy-a53-5g-not-so-different-from-previous-models-in-the-galaxy-a-series/ | 2022-05-15T09:35:34Z | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/15/samsung-galaxy-a53-5g-not-so-different-from-previous-models-in-the-galaxy-a-series/ | false | 1 |

Country music star Naomi Judd died of self-inflicted gunshot wound, Ashley Judd reveals
Naomi Judd, matriarch of the country music duo the Judds, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound a day before being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, her family said on Thursday.
Judd, 76, suffered from mental illness, a disease that tells victims “you are not loved, you are not enough, that you are not worthy,” her daughter Ashley Judd said in an interview aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“Our mother couldn’t hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers. That was the level of disaster that was going on inside of her,” Ashley Judd, a 54-year-old actor, said.
“She used a weapon. Mother used a firearm,” she said of the death, which was announced on April 30.
Ashley Judd said she was disclosing the cause of death in a televised interview to maintain “control” over the information before it became public, possibly through leaks about Judd’s autopsy.
The family’s revelation followed news that the rate of United States gun deaths surged during the pandemic to the highest point since 1994. Gun suicides, the leading cause of gun deaths, totaled 24,245 in 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report published on Tuesday.
Naomi and her daughter Wynonna Judd, 57, made up The Judds, the singing, guitar-playing duo inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on May 1.
It was Ashley Judd who found her mother’s body, just a few minutes after they had embraced during a visit at her mother’s Tennessee home. Ashley Judd said she stepped outside to meet a friend and when she came back inside she found her mother upstairs.
“I have both grief and trauma” from discovering the body, Ashley Judd said.
The family urged anyone having suicidal thoughts to reach out for help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 (in the U.S.). JB
The Philippine Department of Health has said that every case of suicide is a tragedy that can be avoided. Thus, people who feel that they may be suffering from mental health problems and need help may call Hopeline hotlines:
- 804-HOPE (4673)
- 0917-558-HOPE (4673), or
- 2919 (toll-free number for Globe and TM subscribers)

If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Center for Mental Health hotline at 0917-899-USAP (8727); (02) 7-989-USAP; or 1553 (landline to landline, toll-free).

QCOSTARICA – A 28-year-old man was arrested Friday afternoon, suspected of raping and stealing property from two foreign tourists last Saturday, May 7, in the community of Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Puntarenas, reported the Judicial Investigation Agency ( OIJ).
The arrest was made at 3:30 pm on public roads in the community of Paquita, in Quepos, and on Saturday, in conjunction with the Quepos Prosecutor’s Office and a criminal judge from the community, they proceeded to search the home of the suspzed, who is named Zapata Gutiérrez.
During the diligence, they located several electronic items, as well as belongings reported as stolen from the women. Also, clothing worn by the suspect on the day he allegedly committed the crime.
The affected were two foreign tourists. The complaint was filed directly with the Public Ministry, so no details were disclosed about how and the place. The victims stated that the suspect, in addition to sexually abusing them, seized several of their belongings.
This new case of rape against foreigners transcends a day after it was also made public that two US citizens, who were in Costa Rica volunteering, were raped on a beach in the area of Limón,.
Francisco Cordero, deputy director of the Fuerza Publica (national police) in the Caribbean Region, explained that on Monday, May 9, a woman who has a lodging house in Barra de Parismina came to ask how to proceed to file a complaint for a sexual assault.
“The lady described to us that they went out with an acquaintance to a bar and after that they went for a walk on the beach, where they met four other men. In the middle of that, it seems, is where the rape occurs. Given this, we applied the protocol and because the women only spoke English and did not want to delve into the facts with us, we took them on a boat to Siquirres, so that they could file a complaint with the local Prosecutor’s Office,” explained the police chief.
In this case, four individuals with the surnames García Díaz (21 years old), Novoa Calderón (21), Campos Torres (18) and Gómez Vanegas (23) appear as defendants.
They were ordered, as a preliminary measure, to sign in at the Parismina police station every 15 days while the Prosecutor’s Office continues with the investigation. | https://qcostarica.com/arrested-suspect-of-raping-two-tourists-in-manuel-antonio/ | 2022-05-15T10:12:22Z | https://qcostarica.com/arrested-suspect-of-raping-two-tourists-in-manuel-antonio/ | false | 1 |
Thank you, Mike Wolcott, for your tribute to Moms on their Day, and especially for your insightful musings on the homeless. I have been reading about communities that actually go out and set up tents near encampments where they can bring in medical and dental health professionals, employment councilors, and people to help them find housing. In other words treating them like fellow human beings in need of a hand up.
The next issue of the paper carried the City of Chico’s approach, treating our brothers and sisters as criminals. If there is a right way and a wrong way to handle a problem we can count on the current city leaders to consistently make the wrong choice with their “out of sight, out of mind” approach.

Made in India tactical batteries will power equipment used by European combat forces as Benguluru-based startup Pravaig has won an order to supply compact energy storages, the company said in a statement.
M2M Factory & AMG Pro combined, who are large distributors of defence and energy equipment to European armed forces with more than 90 brands like Under Armour, Defcon, Casio, Magnum, Leatherman, are now making tactical batteries in India with Pravaig.
The Pravaig Field Pack will be supplied to the defence manufacturer, it said. "These batteries are designed, engineered, and made in India. This supply marks a major shift in the defence landscape of India. A tipping point in the reversal of India's high technology defence industry, from users to developers, from importers to exporters. A feat considered impossible just a few years ago," said Siddhartha Bagri, CEO of Pravaig in the statement.
The modern soldier is as much a cyborg as human, with electronics being a major part of their equipment. Pravaig's Field Pack provides the modern soldier and their equipment enough energy to charge the equivalent of a MacBook 60 times, the statement said.
"We showed Pravaig the difficulties of the soldiers in desert, snow, urban, and forest environments, and they have come up with an amazing solution to solve the energy needs. We will showcase the Pravaig Field Pack at EuroSatory, the largest defence exhibition in Europe," said David Amsellem, CEO of AMG Pro.
"Pravaig delivered this solution from concept to creation within 60 days, something unheard of in the global defence industry," said Jeremie Caron, Director of M2M Factory.
The lightweight, robust and waterproof batteries open immense opportunities for energising personal equipment, deploying remote sensors and communication relays in the field, and remotely hibernating and activating significantly larger equipment. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/bengaluru-based-startup-pravaig-to-supply-batteries-for-european-forces-8509181.html | 2022-05-15T10:47:25Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/startup/bengaluru-based-startup-pravaig-to-supply-batteries-for-european-forces-8509181.html | true | 9 |
Riding a huge wave of public support, Kalush Orchestra beat 24 competitors in the finale of the world’s biggest live music event with “Stefania”, a rap lullaby combining Ukrainian folk and modern hip-hop rhythms.
“Please help Ukraine and Mariupol! Help Azovstal right now,” implored frontman Oleh Psiuk in English from the stage after their performance was met by a cheering audience.
In the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, the triumph was met with smiles and visible relief.
“It’s a small ray of happiness. It’s very important now for us,” said Iryna Vorobey, a 35-year-old businesswoman, adding that the support from Europe was “incredible”.
Following the win, Psiuk — whose bubblegum-pink bucket hat has made him instantly recognisable — thanked everyone who voted for his country in the contest, which is watched by millions of viewers.
“The victory is very important for Ukraine, especially this year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Glory to Ukraine,” Psiuk told journalists.
Music conquers Europe
The win provided a much-needed morale boost for the embattled nation in its third month of battling much-larger Russian forces.
“Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe!” he wrote on Facebook.
“This win is so very good for our mood,” Andriy Nemkovych, a 28 year-old project manager, told AFP in Kyiv.
The victory drew praise in unlikely corners, as the deputy chief of the NATO military alliance said it showed just how much public support ex-Soviet Ukraine has in fighting off Moscow.
“I would like to congratulate Ukraine for winning the Eurovision contest,” Mircea Geoana said as he arrived in Berlin for talks that will tackle the alliance’s expansion in the wake of the Kremlin’s war.
“And this is not something I’m making in a light way because we have seen yesterday the immense public support all over Europe and Australia for the bravery of” Ukraine, Geoana said.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the win “a clear reflection of not just your talent, but of the unwavering support for your fight for freedom”.
And European Council President Charles Michel said he hoped next year’s contest “can be hosted in Kyiv in a free and united Ukraine”.
Despite the joyous theatrics that are a hallmark of the song contest, the war in Ukraine hung heavily over the festivities this year.
to perform their act.
Ukraine beat a host of over-the-top acts at the kitschy, quirky annual musical event, including Norway’s Subwoolfer, who sang about bananas while dressed in yellow wolf masks, and Serbia’s Konstrakta, who questioned national healthcare while meticulously scrubbing her hands onstage.

Italy had hoped the gay-themed love song would bring it a second consecutive Eurovision win after last year’s “Zitti e Buoni” (Shut up and Behave) from high-octane glam rockers Maneskin. | https://www.thelocal.de/20220515/rapping-breakdancing-ukrainians-win-eurovision-in-musical-morale-boost/ | 2022-05-15T10:56:00Z | https://www.thelocal.de/20220515/rapping-breakdancing-ukrainians-win-eurovision-in-musical-morale-boost/ | false | 7 |

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An array of presidents and prime ministers continued to descend on the United Arab Emirates from around the world Sunday to pay their respects to the federation's late ruler. They also came to praise his successor, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan — a vivid sign of Abu Dhabi's influence in Western and Arab capitals.
The first Western leader to jet to the oil-rich capital of Abu Dhabi was French President Emmanuel Macron. He met Sunday with Sheikh Mohammed to pay tribute to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the country's long-ailing ruler who died on Friday at the age of 73.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was expected to arrive later Sunday to offer condolences, along with other leaders including Israeli President Isaac Herzog after the two countries opened formal relations in 2020.
An American delegation led by Vice President Kamala Harris is due to visit the UAE on Monday, a bid to show support after relations between the countries have recently strained.
Arab heads of state, including close allies Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II traveled to the UAE on Saturday.
“He was respected by all for the values of peace, openness and dialogue that he embodied,” Macron wrote on Twitter of Sheikh Khalifa, expressing “full support” for the ascension of his half-brother Sheikh Mohammed after rulers in the federation unanimously appointed him as president.
As crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed has served as the nation’s de facto leader since Sheikh Khalifa suffered a stroke in 2014. He has turned the small UAE into a most influential state, wielding outsized power militarily and commercially across the Middle East and Africa.
Even while the country became entangled in the bloody, yearslong conflict in Yemen and a chaotic proxy war in Libya, it positioned itself as a savvy and reliable partner in Western capitals.
Paris and Abu Dhabi have become increasingly aligned in recent years, sharing a deep mistrust of Islamist movements like the Muslim Brotherhood across the wider region, including in Turkey and Libya.
France opened a major overseas naval base in Abu Dhabi. French warplanes and personnel are also stationed at a major facility outside the Emirati capital. The two governments jointly built a gleaming branch of the Louvre museum in the emirate.
During Macron's visit to Dubai last December, France clinched its biggest overseas order for its Rafale combat jet with the UAE — an $18 billion deal that came as a planned U.S. sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets to the UAE stalled in part over American concerns about the Emirates’ relationship with China.
The assertive foreign policy of Sheikh Mohammed was on stark display as allied Arab leaders rushed to the capital to express their sorrow over Sheikh Khalifa's death and offer congratulations on his formal ascension to power. Among the first was el-Sissi, the Egyptian general who, with Gulf Arab support, overthrew an elected but divisive Islamist government in 2013.
Emirati-backed Tunisian President Kais Saied, who has amassed nearly absolute power in the country since dismissing the prime minister last year, also flew in to pay tribute, along with Iraq's president and prime minister.
Sudan's Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the general who led the coup in the strategic east African nation last year, has made frequent visits to key backer Sheikh Mohammed. He posted footage on social media Saturday sprinting up stairs to board his plane to Abu Dhabi to give tribute to the late president. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/World-leaders-descend-on-UAE-to-pay-respects-to-17174074.php | 2022-05-15T11:14:32Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/World-leaders-descend-on-UAE-to-pay-respects-to-17174074.php | false | 10 |
Is Homemade Baby Formula Safe?
Across the county, a baby formula shortage is causing empty grocery store shelves and panicked parents. Many have been asking an important question: Can I make homemade baby formula? Unfortunately, while DIY formula would alleviate some of the formula-driven anxiety, experts and organizations advise against it. Crafting the perfect blend of ingredients and nutrients is no easy task, and getting it wrong can be downright dangerous for your baby. Here's what parents need to know.
The Potential Dangers of Homemade Formula
Search online and you'll see homemade baby formula recipes on forums, social media groups, and blogs. But these recipes are "definitely not advised," says pediatrician and Parents advisor Ari Brown, M.D., author of Baby 411. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also advises against it because the recipes aren't regulated.
Homemade formulas often lack important nutrients.
Your baby requires a very specific balance of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Without professional regulation of homemade formulas, there's a risk that your baby may get too much or not enough of each particular nutrient, leading to "severe nutritional imbalances," according to the FDA. Also, with the multiple steps required to prepare DIY formulas, parents can inadvertently make errors in measurements. An improper balance of nutrients can lead to malnourishment, excessive weight gain, or other health complications.
Some ingredients might not be safe.
Many homemade formula recipes call for unpasteurized cow's milk or goat's milk as a base; others use meat broth. Babies shouldn't consume raw milk because it may contain bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, which can lead to severe or deadly infections, says Jatinder Bhatia, M.D., a professor of pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Georgia.
In addition, "full-fat milk, skim milk, goat milk, and other milks have levels of nutrients, both excesses and deficiencies, that are not well-suited for meeting the infant's nutritional requirements," Dr. Bhatia says.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that infants be fed breast milk or iron-fortified infant formula, even if infants are weaned from breast milk before 12 months. Cow's milk, goat's milk, and soy milk are not recommended during the first 12 months of life.
Contamination is possible with homemade formula.
Even if the formula isn't milk-based, there's still a risk for bacteria. "The AAP and other organizations have strict instructions about preparation, handling, and storage of commercial formulas to reduce the risk of contamination," says Dr. Bhatia. But with homemade formula, there are no guidelines. And with all the time-consuming cooking steps, there are many opportunities for contamination.
What's more, ingredients for DIY formulas often need to be purchased online or from multiple companies, which means that you may be putting the safety of your baby at risk because of uncertain manufacturing practices, says Bridget Swinney, R.D., author of Baby Bites: Everything You Need to Know about Feeding Babies and Toddlers in One Handy Book.
Why Commercial Formula Is Best
Experts believe commercial formula is the next best thing to breast milk. "Formula companies put millions of dollars into research to make formula as close as possible to breast milk," says Swinney. "From prebiotics to nucleotides to antioxidants and DHA, the many ingredients in infant formula make it a complex product not matched in a home kitchen."
Another reason to choose commercial formula: It's regulated by the FDA. This means the organization requires formula manufacturers to use safe ingredients, meet federal nutrient requirements, and test their products for pathogens before distribution. The FDA also conducts yearly inspections of all facilities that manufacture formula, and it collects and analyzes samples from all production facilities. These requirements and steps are in place to ensure that your baby gets a safe product.
If you're still looking for "healthier" formulas, an organic one may be worth a try. Other ways to be sure the formula you use is safe for your baby include following the instructions for proper preparation and storage, using clean bottles and nipples, checking the expiration date of the formula, and making sure the container doesn't have dents, rust spots, or leaks.
Another important step in finding the right formula for your baby is to read the ingredient list. Sure, many of the ingredients look like something out of your high school chemistry class, but generally, those terms are the scientific names for the different vitamins and minerals that make up the formula. "Alpha tocopherol is vitamin E and pyridoxine hydrochloride is vitamin B6," Swinney says. If you have questions or concerns about any ingredients, Dr. Bhatia recommends always asking a dietician or physician to explain the ingredients and their purpose in the formula.
What If Parents Can't Find Formula
Many parents can't find formula right now, which is naturally causing panic across the country. After all, the majority of babies rely on formula as their main or supplemental source of nutrition. Some infants also need speciality formulas because of dietary restrictions and food intolerances—and if they don't get it, they can suffer negative health consequences. Instead of making homemade formula, experts recommend taking the following steps if you're facing supply issues.
- Talk to your pediatrician, who might be able to help you secure formula
- Check for formula at grocery stories, pharmacies, local shops, drugstores, the manufacturer's website, and online marketplaces
- Consider switching formula brands (but get the green light from your doctor first)
- Supplement with solids if your baby is old enough
- Never dilute formula or feed a baby cow's milk before age one
This article is full of incorrect information, which is highly misleading, almost borderline propaganda. Pasteurization is a highly unnatural process which destroys nutrients that aid in it's digestion; pasteurized dairy is the source of lactose intolerance-we created the phenomenon ourselves. I urge anyone reading this to reconsider their viewpoint on raw dairy and to do their research from multiple independent sources. Human breast milk is RAW. Any food can be contaminated with bacteria, and milk is no exception, but that does not mean to heat it to unnaturally high temperatures which chemically degrade the product. Raw milk is RARELY contaminated, FAR, FAR less than common foods like lettuce and chicken, and when it is it's from poor farming practices or improper storage (milk is best consumed within a few days given it is kept cold, now how old is your milk?). Scalding the milk at home is more than enough to make it safe without destroying it like pasteurization. My baby is safer on real milk than commercially available sick-milk, and so is your's. Today's generations have completely lost touch with the instinct on how to listen to what the human body needs and this is why we are all sick and dying young. This article only goes to further this downfall, being what I like to call "disinformation". Live natural, don't believe everything (or anything) the health officials tell you, because they are a million times more interested in the money that corporations dish to them than they are our wellbeing. Hopefully my comment is not censored, as it came from the heart. Heck, the only other comments here are literally spam (ads) from false accounts, and I'm supposed to believe this article isn't propaganda? Get back to reality people! Take back your health! Thank you.

Deborah Hutton, 60, says she is 'not out of the woods' after having skin cancer removed from her face two years ago: 'It will happen again'
Deborah Hutton has revealed that she fears her cancer will return, two years after she had surgery to remove a carcinoma from her face.
'It will happen again - I'm not out of the woods,' the 60-year-old told 7Life on Sunday. 'That area of the face is a freeway for skin cancer.'
The TV host has brought awareness to the disease, and says that is something she is proud of.
Fears: Deborah Hutton (pictured) has revealed that she fears her cancer will return, two years after she had surgery to remove a carcinoma from her face. 'It will happen again - I'm not out of the woods,' the 60-year-old told 7Life. 'That area of the face is a freeway for skin cancer'
'Out of everything I've done or accomplished, this is the most meaningful thing I have ever done with my life,' she said.
Deborah underwent surgery to remove facial Basal Cell Carcinoma, which is a type of skin cancer, in mid-2020.
She'd had a basal cell carcinoma removed from the exact same spot on her face nine years earlier, and was stunned to discover it had returned.

A year after the surgery, she shared a before and after image to her Instagram, showing the progress of her healing scar.
Deborah reflected on her skin cancer diagnosis last year while speaking to The Australian Woman's Weekly.
'I look back and go, "Wow". I'm so grateful for everything, even grateful I had skin cancer because I was able to tell my story and people reacted the way they did,' she said at the time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Yadiel Hernandez and Maikel Franco homered and the Washington Nationals ended the Houston Astros’ 11-game winning streak, romping 13-6 on Saturday night.
Manager Dusty Baker and the Astros fell one game short of matching the franchise-record 12-game winning string achieved in 1999, 2004 and 2018.
“We weren’t gonna win every game,” Baker said. “I would love to, but it was their night. We just have to brush that one off and start a new streak tomorrow.”
The Houston staff fashioned a 0.91 ERA during this recent run, but Nelson Cruz and the Nationals collected 14 hits and five walks against five pitchers. Starter Cristian Javier (2-1) was tagged for seven runs and eight hits over 3 2/3 innings — the Astros had allowed a total of four runs over their past five games.
“Yesterday it was a tough (6-1 loss) for us and they were able to get the better of us, but today all of us did a great job of making adjustments and going out there and being aggressive,” Hernandez said through an interpreter.
Jose Siri had a homer, triple and a single for Houston. Yuli Gurriel also had three hits
Cruz had a three-run double, two singles and a walk for the Nationals — who improved to 5-14 at home. Juan Soto doubled, walked twice and scored three runs.
“When you’ve got guys like Cruz and Hernandez, they’re a dangerous crew over there and they got the big hits when they needed them,” Baker said. “I think their first seven runs were with two outs and that usually gets it done.”
Josh Rogers (2-2) worked one inning for the win. Washington starter Erick Fedde was lifted after Siri’s leadoff homer in the fifth made it 7-3.
Hernandez hit an RBI single in the first and added a three-run homer into the Nationals bullpen in the third for a 4-0 lead.
Houston got two back in the fourth, but the Nationals loaded the bases in the bottom half with two bunt singles and a one-out walk to Soto. Josh Bell popped out, but the right-handed hitting Cruz lined a full-count fastball from Javier off the base of the wall in right center to clear the bases.
“I hit it pretty good,” Cruz said. “That pitch was a little bit off the plate also, so to be able to stay on it and hit it that hard is a good sign.”
The Washington slugger has hit safely in seven-of-his-past eight games to raise his average to .200.
Franco hit a two-runner homer in the fifth and added an RBI double as part of a four-run sixth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: 2B Jose Altuve, lifted for a defensive replacement in the ninth inning Friday for precautionary reasons after he slipped on the grass earlier in the game, was given a planned day off. … SS Jeremy Peña missed his second game since leaving a game Thursday at Minnesota with a knee injury. Baker said Altuve and Peña will play on Sunday.
Nationals: RHP Stephen Strasburg (recovery from thoracic outlet surgery) and RHP Joe Ross (right elbow bone spur removal) each threw two-inning simulated games Friday in Florida. Manager Dave Martinez said Both will go on a five-day routine until they work up to 90 pitches.
BENCH BOOST
The Astros acquired infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon from the Giants on Saturday in exchange for minor league catcher Michael Papierski. Dubon, 27, hit .239 with two home runs in 21 games for the Giants. He’s expected to join the Astros on Sunday.
AND SOTO IT GOES
Soto has reached base safely in 12 straight games, going 15-for-48 (.313) with three doubles, four homers, seven walks, and 11 runs scored. His two walks Saturday gave him 401 in 499 career games.
UP NEXT
Astros: RHP Justin Verlander (4-1. 1.55 ERA) pitched eight shutout innings and allowed one hit in his last start, Tuesday against the Twins. He’s 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two career starts against the Nationals.
Nationals: LHP Patrick Corbin (0-5, 6.06) faces the Astros for the first time since Game 7 of the 2019 World Series when he pitched three innings of scoreless relief.

Who is responsible for house damage as the result of a power outage? It depends|Betty Lin-Fisher
While at my gym recently, a friend was updating others about some problems at her West Akron house. She and a few neighbors sustained a lot of electrical damage inside their homes a few months ago after a power outage.
When the electricity came back on, she’s not sure exactly what happened, but the damage to her house has cost her about $10,000, she estimates. She hopes to recoup much of that through insurance but is still wading her way through the process.
“The electrician said he’d never seen an electric box fried like that,” she said. She also had to replace a pump in her hot tub and the electrical panel of her stove. Half of her lights on her first floor still don’t work.
Some of the work needed to done right away, while the rest is pending a review by her insurance company for extensive rewiring in her walls, she said.
It got us talking about where the responsibility lies when something like that happens. Should she have called Ohio Edison? Would they be responsible for anything or was this something covered under home insurance?
I told her I’d find out.
Electrical damage isn't always covered
The short answer: It depends, but most likely it is not the responsibility of the utility.
Matt Schilling, spokesman for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said liability could depend on the situation.
“If the utility were at fault or negligent, they may be liable; however, typically things like weather, trees, animals, cars, etc. they probably wouldn’t be. I would encourage the customer to contact Ohio Edison and see if they are able to work out an agreement. After that if unsatisfied I’d recommend they contact our call center at 800-686-7826,” he said.
Additionally, affected customers should check with their insurance provider, he said.
Lauren Siburkis, spokeswoman for Ohio Edison, sent me this information:
“Customers have the option of filing a claim with our Claims Department if they experience property damage following a service disruption. Our claims representatives would investigate the matter, including the nature and circumstances around the power outage, and respond appropriately. Customers may submit a claim by calling our Customer Service team at 800-633-4766."
She added: “Outages due to weather are beyond our control, and although we attempt to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, extensive damage can take several hours or days to repair. While FirstEnergy does not reimburse customers for equipment damaged or food lost during a weather-related outage, customers are encouraged to contact their renter/homeowner’s insurance to determine if their policies cover such losses.”
Insurance also may not cover damages from power outages
I also called Dean Fadel, the president of the Ohio Insurance Institute, the trade organization for the property and casualty insurance industry, for his take.
The answer for whether insurance will cover the damage is also “it depends.” It is best to check with your insurance agent or company on your coverage, said Fadel.
“Electrical issues are interesting, because it's one of those things where it depends,” he said. “If it is the result of lightning, then the adjuster will find burnt wiring, which is a clear sign that it was lightning and generally there's coverage under the homeowner's insurance policy for that.”
Fadel said home warranty policies may cover damage. Some insurers also have special policies, which would cost extra, for extra electrical damage coverage.
Fadel stressed the importance of making sure appliances and TVs either have built-in protections from electrical surges or when applicable, are plugged into a surge protector. Failure to properly protect your appliances or TV may result in no coverage from the insurer, he said.
While I had Fadel on the phone, I asked him for advice when a problem happens at the house. Clearly, no one plans for a pipe to burst or a tree to fall on the roof or other things that could happen. And Murphy’s Law usually results in whatever going wrong on a weekend or after business hours.
Sometimes you need to get that problem mitigated first by calling a plumber or electrician before you get the “approval” from the insurer.
“You’ve got to mitigate the damage as soon as possible; I think any prudent person wants to do that,” said Fadel.
He suggested taking photos with a smart phone or camera to provide proof of the damage.
Also, make sure you have the contact information for the repair person or company in case you need collaboration for your claim, he said.

Saudi Aramco: Oil giant sees profits jump as prices surge
Saudi Aramco has posted its highest profits since its 2019 listing as oil and gas prices surge around the world.
The state-owned energy giant saw an 82% jump in profits, with net income topping $39.5bn (£32.2bn) in the first quarter.
In a press release, the firm said it had been boosted by higher prices, as well as an increase in production.
The invasion of Ukraine has seen oil and gas prices skyrocket.
Russia is one of the world's biggest exporters but Western nations have pledged to cut their dependence on the country for energy.
Oil prices were already rising before the Ukraine war as economies started to recover from the Covid pandemic and demand outstripped supply.
Other energy firms including Shell, BP and TotalEnergies have also reported soaring profits as a result, although many are incurring costs exiting operations in Russia.
Energy security 'vital'
Aramco's president and chief executive, Amin Nasser, said on Sunday that the company was "focused on helping meet the world's demand for energy that is reliable, affordable and increasingly sustainable".
"Energy security is vital and we are investing for the long-term," he added.
In March, the oil and gas producer pledged to ramp up investment and boost output significantly over the next five to eight years.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited the world's biggest oil exporter that month to try to persuade it to release more oil into world markets in the short-term.
Saudi Arabia is the largest producer in the oil cartel Opec (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and by raising production it could help to reduce energy prices.
But the country has been condemned for a range of human rights abuses: its involvement in the conflict in neighbouring Yemen, the murder in 2018 of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, for jailing dissidents and for widespread use of capital punishment.
Aramco itself also faces security challenges because of the conflict in Yemen, with Huthi rebels targeting some of its sites and temporarily knocking out a big portion of the kingdom's crude production.
Its latest set of results come days after Aramco reclaimed the top spot as the world's most valuable company from Apple for the first time in almost two years.
Aramco also announced on Sunday it would issue 20 billion bonus shares to shareholders - one share for every 10 shares already owned. | https://news.yahoo.com/saudi-aramco-oil-giant-sees-083818039.html | 2022-05-15T11:31:03Z | https://news.yahoo.com/saudi-aramco-oil-giant-sees-083818039.html | false | 4 |

Shanghai will gradually begin reopening businesses such as shopping malls and hair salons in China's financial and manufacturing hub from Monday after weeks in strict COVID-19 lockdown, while Beijing battles a small but stubborn outbreak.
All but shut down for more than six weeks, Shanghai is tightening curbs in some areas that it hopes marks a final push in its campaign against the virus, which has infuriated and exhausted residents of China's largest and most cosmopolitan city.
Shopping malls, department stores and supermarkets will begin resuming in-store operations and allow customers to shop in "an orderly way," while hair salons and vegetable markets will reopen with limited capacity, Vice Mayor Chen Tong told a media briefing on Sunday.
He gave no specifics on the pace or extent of such reopenings, and many residents reacted online with skepticism.
"Who are you lying to? We can't even go out of our compound. You can open up, no one can go," said a user of China's Twitter-like Weibo, whose IP showed as being from Shanghai.
During Shanghai's lockdown, residents have been mainly limited to buying necessities, with normal shopping on online platforms largely suspended due to a shortage of couriers.
And while barbers and hairdressers have been giving haircuts on the street or in open areas of housing compounds, residents recently able to leave their homes for a few hours at a time to walk or buy groceries have generally appeared more disheveled than usual.
China's strict "dynamic zero" approach to COVID-19 has put hundreds of millions of people in dozens of cities under curbs of varying degrees in an attempt to eliminate the spread of the disease. The curbs are wreaking havoc on the world's second-largest economy even as most countries try to return to normal life despite continued infections.
New bank lending hit the lowest in nearly four and half years in April as the pandemic jolted the economy and weakened credit demand, central bank data showed on Friday.
The Asian Football Confederation said on Saturday that China had pulled out of hosting the 2023 Asian Cup finals due to the COVID-19 crisis. This followed China's cancellation or postponement of numerous international sporting events it was scheduled to hold in the second half of 2022.
The decision on the football tournament prompted social media speculation in China that its zero-COVID-19 policy could persist well into next year.
China managed to keep COVID-19 at bay after it was first discovered in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019, but has struggled to contain the highly infectious omicron variant. The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said last week China's approach is not "sustainable."
But the country is widely expected to stick with its approach at least until the congress of the ruling Communist Party, which is historically in the autumn, where President Xi Jinping is poised to secure a precedent-breaking third five-year leadership term.
Case numbers in Shanghai continued to improve, with 1,369 daily symptomatic and asymptomatic infections reported, down from 1,681 a day earlier.
Importantly, the city reported no new cases outside of quarantined areas after finding one a day earlier. Consistently achieving zero cases outside quarantined areas is a key factor for officials determining when they can reopen the city.
Shanghai has achieved its zero-COVID-19 target in more thinly populated suburban districts and started easing curbs there first, such as allowing shoppers to enter supermarkets.
But it continued to tighten restrictions in many areas over the past two weeks, especially in the city center, curtailing deliveries and putting up more fencing.
In most of Beijing, restaurants were shut for dining-in and residents have been urged to stay or work from home. Parks and other entertainment venues have been closed, sending many people onto streets or into the gardens of their housing compounds to enjoy fine spring weather.
In the large Chaoyang district, residents were reminded by text message, and in some instances by door knocks, to get their daily COVID-19 test as the capital scrambles to cut infection chains.

Lightweight veteran Michael Johnson returned to the octagon on Saturday after 15 months away from competition on the UFC Vegas 54 fight card in Las Vegas.
‘The Menace’ broke a four-fight losing streak with a knockout win over Alan Patrick, and it was a much needed win for the 35-year old.
“I’ve been through a lot in my life. I’ve had a lot of big wins. I’ve had a lot of devastating losses, but that’s probably one of the better moments in my life just because I was in such a dark hole, went through so much to get to this point, a year and a half layoff, being broke, trying to figure out things. It feels good,” Johnson said during the UFC Vegas 54 Post-fight Press Conference.
On such a losing streak heading into Saturday’s bout, Johnson was forced to face some hard realities.
“When you’re almost at the top, or at the top and almost there and then you’re just reduced to nothing, it feels terrible. It feels like sh*t. Especially being an athlete. We’re all considered ‘Alpha Males’, and we’re the best of the best. And then you sit back and realize that you’re not the best of the best. You lost four in a row. Something is going wrong. You end up being alone,” Johnson said.
Hear everything Johnson said during the post-fight press conference below, including whether he felt like he was fighting for his job, his financial struggles, and his future plans.

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. — SUNY Adirondack celebrated its graduates on Saturday at the school’s 60th annual Commencement ceremony.
The event, held at the Cool Insuring Arena in downtown Glens Falls, honored hundreds of students who completed their degree programs this academic year, as well as some who earned their degree in 2020 but were not able to attend an in-person ceremony until now.
All who wore caps and gowns in the arena on Saturday completed their studies with SUNY Adirondack amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“You should be proud of what you have accomplished in a time of uncertainty,” SUNY Adirondack President Kristine D. Duffy, Ed.D. told the graduates, noting that this takes grit, determination, resilience, and will.
In addition to marking the SUNY Adirondack’s 60th anniversary, 2022 also makes 45 years that the Queensbury-based college has been in the Saratoga County community, and a decade at its current Wilton campus.
The college first offered eight evening courses in rented space at Saratoga Central Catholic High School in 1977. By the early 1990s, 35 classes were offered, leading SUNY Adirondack — then still Adirondack Community College — to open a branch in McGregor Village Plaza on Route 9 in Wilton in 1995.
In the fall of 2001, the college for the first time outlined a three-year sequence of classes to complete five different degree programs entirely in its Saratoga facility, including Information Technology: Information Systems; Associate of Arts and Associate of Applied Science degrees in Business Administration; Liberal Arts & Science; and Health Information Technologies. Two years later, daytime classes were added to the lineup.
In 2012, SUNY Adirondack was moved to its current location. Now several degree programs can be completed entirely at Saratoga Center, or in conjunction with online courses or classes at the college’s Queensbury campus.
This academic year, nearly 400 students enrolled in at least one class at SUNY Adirondack Saratoga.
Today, more than one-third of SUNY Adirondack students hail from Saratoga County. Saratoga County residents in fall 2021 comprised 39 percent of SUNY Adirondack’s student body, with more than 1,000 students from the county attending.
“We are honored to be Saratoga’s educator of choice since 1977,” Duffy said in a press release. “SUNY Adirondack started off in Saratoga with just a few evening classes and, throughout more than four decades, has greatly expanded its presence, and is proud to be celebrating this milestone.”
SUNY Adirondack’s Wilton location provides convenient options to residents of the Saratoga area. Over the past year, the college has increased the number of health education courses and began offering “high-flex” courses in which students can attend in person, via livestream from anywhere or watch recorded sessions at their convenience.
Many Early College Career Academy courses are also offered at Saratoga Center. The program — a collaboration between SUNY Adirondack and Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex (WSWHE) BOCES in which high school students attend classes that teach analytical, theoretical and hands-on elements of high-demand jobs — includes fields of study in Media Arts, Advanced Manufacturing, IT: Cybersecurity and Business Administration.
“SUNY Adirondack has a long history of serving Saratoga,” Duffy said in the release. “Throughout the years we have adapted to ensure we are providing the region the well-rounded, highly trained employees our economy needs.”
On Saturday’s special occasion for all of the local graduates and their loved ones, Duffy told the classes, “In the years to come, some of your memories may fade, but I hope you will carry SUNY Adirondack pride as you navigate the next phases of your life.”
She continued, “Share your story with others. Encourage others to invest in their future, and I whop you will remember this stop along life’s journey as one of your best.”
As the commencement ceremony concluded, she advised the graduates, “Take your new knowledge and reach new heights.” | https://www.troyrecord.com/2022/05/14/suny-adirondack-celebrates-graduates-during-60th-annual-commencement/ | 2022-05-15T11:52:24Z | https://www.troyrecord.com/2022/05/14/suny-adirondack-celebrates-graduates-during-60th-annual-commencement/ | false | 2 |
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In last year’s Florida fan poll, Dan Mullen’s job approval rating topped 78 percent, and nearly three-quarters of participants predicted he someday would lead the Gators into a national championship game.
Another nugget from that 2021 survey: Only 0.8 percent of fans foresaw Florida winning seven games or fewer last season.
Now Mullen is on a $12 million sabbatical, Billy Napier is the new face of the program, and The Athletic is back with the 2022 survey. To the 377 fans who responded in our latest poll, thank you for the feedback.
This year, I’m adding my thoughts on pertinent topics, and did so because readers followed up previous surveys with DMs and emails asking for my perspective. I did not participate in this survey — we wanted the results to truly reflect the fans’ expression — but for those curious to absorb an unaffiliated opinion, you can see the answers I would’ve given.
The 29-question survey is plenty to digest, so below we publish the results in the first of two parts.
How do you rate your satisfaction with the current state of the Florida football program? (1: Poor, 5: Excellent)
• 5 — 8%
• 4 — 42%
• 3 — 39%
• 2 — 8%
• 1 — 3%
On the heels of a losing season, this reflects a fair amount of optimism, with 89 percent of you giving the program a satisfaction mark in the average-to-excellent range. (As for the 8 percent who gave the Gators a top-shelf score of 5, y’all realize it’s not 2008, right?) The surprise is that only 3 percent of respondents occupy rock bottom, even after a bowl loss to UCF. It appears the fan base views 2021 as an anomaly that Billy Napier soon will correct. Presumably, there’s also hopefulness about what the new football facility will mean for recruiting.
My humble opinion: I’d play it down the middle by voting 3. That 6-7 finish last season wields a hefty helping of recency bias, of course, and it reads more depressing with each look back. While there’s no shame in losing to Georgia and Alabama, let’s not forget that three teams needed wins over Florida to become bowl-eligible — LSU, South Carolina and Missouri. Another sour point regarding 2021: According to Sagarin, the Gators struggled despite facing the third-weakest schedule among SEC teams.
Then there’s the pesky part about going 13 years without a conference title and suffering six losing seasons in the last 12. That’s a sizable chunk of bleakness that Florida needs to overcome.
In hindsight of the Power 5 coaching carousel, who do you wish the Gators could’ve courted as head coach? (Pick up to three)
Overwhelming support for Napier, who appeared on 339 of 377 ballots. No doubt fans appreciate his offseason moves that improved the player experience by remedying issues with parking, meals and housing. This is shaping up to be the smoothest of honeymoon phases.
Riley was the clear No. 2 choice. Kiffin coming in third is a testament to his cool persona at Ole Miss, just as Kelly ranking near the bottom is blowback from his stream of uncool moments at LSU. (Over the past five years, Kelly had a slightly higher winning percentage at Notre Dame than Riley did at OU, so the gap in fantasied sentiment is noteworthy.)
One voter wrote: “TBH I don’t like the Napier hire. We settled. The pressure on the head coach at this level is something different. We could have tried for Kelly, Cristobal or Lane. Proven guys. I think the Miami staff will be successful keeping kids home. I don’t want to waste bandwidth down there.”
My humble opinion: As much as I like the Napier hire, I think Florida’s status as a top-10 job warranted a call to Riley. Was he already deep into secretive negotiations with USC? Obviously. Could Florida have countered the Trojans’ deal of $10 million per year, plus that sweet home-buying bonus? Possibly. Did Riley’s villainous exit from Oklahoma strike a contrast to Napier’s classier departure at Louisiana? No question. College football is increasingly becoming a quarterback-driven game and Riley is the premier recruiter and developer at that position. Plus his Power 5 head coaching experience in Norman trumps Napier’s success in the Sun Belt. Checking the temperature on Riley likely would’ve cost Scott Stricklin only a day at the most — less if Riley’s reps flat out declined — and Napier still would’ve been just as enticing a candidate waiting on deck.
With the coaching situation settled, what do you see as the biggest obstacle for the Gators to enjoy more glory days?
In what Napier describes as a “talent acquisition business,” it’s no stunner that more than 280 responses touched on recruiting. Here’s a sampling of other feedback:
“Nick Saban and Kirby Smart”
“Signing five-star quarterbacks”
“Offensive scheme”
“Closing the current talent gap between the Gators and Georgia, Alabama and Texas A&M.”
“Finding players who are less entitled, and willing to work as hard as the boys at Bama and Georgia.”
“The perception in recruits’ minds of the program and lack of success since any of them have been alive.”
“Napier needs to make Florida hot again. The kids they’re recruiting only care what happened in the last 2-3 years and who is hot right now, not who has history.”
“Doing a MUCH better job of recruiting the elite talent in Florida.”
“Stop being Georgia’s bitch”
“Need time to re-establish recruiting. Mario Cristobal at Miami represents a threat to in-state recruiting.”
“How Napier will coach at the SEC level. I’m confident in his recruiting, but game days are a different beast.”
“Willingness of the UF administration to become a football powerhouse again.”
“Sustained financial commitment from the administration. Either compete or don’t — but let’s not half-ass it.”
“Build a culture”
“Player buy-in”
“Team discipline”
“Scott Stricklin, the athletic director”
“I think the biggest obstacles have been resolved. The Jeremy Foley mindset of thinking we could be an elite program on the cheap is gone. With the checkbook now open, we finally have a chance to compete with Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State. So, the biggest remaining obstacle is closing the talent gap with Georgia and LSU — the two strongest programs we play every year.”
“They should have brought back coach Urban Meyer.”
“Our fans/ boosters having no patience.”
Rate your confidence level in Napier as a game-day coach. (1: Low, 5: High)
• 5 — 9%
• 4 — 41%
• 3 — 46%
• 2 — 3%
• 1 — 1%
Napier’s reliance upon analytics probably helped his rating here — as did his now-legendary “scared money don’t make money” quote that traces back to a 2021 fourth-and-goal gamble against Ohio. Still, 46 percent of those polled rated him merely a middle-of-the-road game-day coach, presumably a default pick based upon not watching many Louisiana games. That’s entirely understandable, with so many Ragin’ Cajuns games relegated to ESPNU or ESPN+. Whether you saw them play or not, it’s easy to be impressed by Napier going 40-12 overall and 28-5 in the Sun Belt, which explains why a combined 50 percent rated his gamely tactics either a 4 or 5,
My humble opinion: I’d vote 4 based upon the rapid turnaround Napier authored at Louisiana. The Ragin’ Cajuns went from an in-conference scoring differential of minus-8.6 the year before his arrival to plus-1.5 in Napier’s debut season. The ensuing three seasons that differential widened to plus-15.8 and 12.5 and 12.8 as Napier maximized his teams’ situational strengths. His teams didn’t cough up winnable games, posting a 27-2 record as favorites. Nor did they panic themselves into turnovers — finishing with plus-28 takeaway differential over four seasons.
Rate your confidence level in Napier as a recruiter. (1: Low, 5: High)
• 5 — 47%
• 4 — 41%
• 3 — 11%
• 2 — 1%
• 1 — 0%
When a new coach speaks of hiring “an army” on Day 1, then hires said army, and immediately ramps up efforts to make each recruiting visit fresh and enticing, it resonates with fans. Napier’s systematic and ambitious approach to recruiting is the foundation for everything he hopes to achieve in Gainesville.
My humble opinion: I’m rating Napier a 4 at this point, because let’s face it, he hasn’t peaked and he needs room to climb. Until the Gators begin stockpiling blue-chippers, I’ll reserve the high-5 rating for elite recruiters like Saban and Smart.
Rate your confidence level in Napier’s new staff. (1: Low, 5: High)
• 5 — 28%
• 4 — 18%
• 3 — 51%
• 2 — 2%
• 1 — 1%
Some 97 percent of you rated Napier’s staff between average and exceptional, though results were weighted toward the middle. Perhaps some fans are vacillating on first-time Power 5 defensive coordinator Patrick Toney. Maybe others hoped Napier would hire a quarterbacks coach with a proven track record of recruiting as opposed to handling that role himself.
My humble opinion: I’m at 4. Napier’s initial wish list of assistants would’ve represented one of the best college staffs assembled in the past decade. It didn’t quite come to fruition when three candidates chose to remain in the NFL, but Napier landed seven of his original 10 and filled the other spots with respected veterans. He enters his first season at Florida with a staff heavy on recruiting and developmental pedigrees.
Who is the most impactful assistant that Napier brought in?
Letting Raymond walk at LSU may turn out to be Brian Kelly’s biggest mistake. Pulling Raymond to Florida may be Napier’s biggest addition. Gators fans sure approve.
My humble opinion: I’m with you on Raymond, who built some NFL-ready secondaries at LSU and, based upon what I witnessed this spring, has piles of energy left in the tank. Amid a flurry of promising hires, I think bringing aboard Spencer and Peterson will prove crucial also.
What is your realistic expectation for the Florida football program?
Voters expect the Gators to be a marquee program. Resources run deep, the fan base is large and passionate, and the facilities will be comparable by this summer. No excuses.
My humble opinion: I concur. Georgia has five consecutive top-seven AP finishes. Alabama owns 14 straight top-10s and Ohio State has eight. Florida should be in that elite realm.
With Napier as coach, how soon do you expect to see the Gators return to national championship contention?
Even before Napier began harping on depth issues this spring, it was plain to see the roster had soft spots. The voters, save for that 1 percent, aren’t banking on rapid results.
My humble opinion: The Gators have enough players to be competitive in the SEC East this fall but not enough to withstand the inevitable rash of injuries that crop up in big-time college football. Napier probably is looking at a multiple-year rebuild, though the transfer portal offers the chance to get better quickly. I think the program undergoes a valuable culture change in 2022, wins nine or 10 games in 2023 and contends for a CFP berth by 2024.
How many Florida home games do you plan on attending in 2022?
Division I attendance has dipped for seven straight years (with 2020 omitted due to the pandemic) and even the mighty SEC finds itself in a five-year downslide. In this poll, 75 percent of you plan to attend two or fewer games at The Swamp this season.
My humble opinion: My job requires me to attend games, though for the past two years, a lack of postgame interactions with players and coaches mitigated the advantage of being there.
I always attempt to adopt a fan’s mindset by asking myself how many games I’d attend if I wasn’t a sportswriter. The answer is usually no more than one or two cherry-picked games per season. Concessions are priced outrageously, the bleachers aren’t comfortable and those TV timeouts take an eternity. That adrenaline spike from seeing a memorable game live is undeniable, though it comes at a steep cost and severe inconvenience.
What fan-friendly enhancements — anything from cheaper concessions to a renovation that adds more shaded seats, etc. — would you like to see at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium?
A sampling of more specific suggestions:
“More shaded seats on alumni side. Keep the students uncovered — it builds character.”
“Better seating. The bench seats are awful.”
“Better ticket scanning process. Getting in the gate within 30 minutes of kickoff is a nightmare.”
“Needs the bells and whistles of NFL stadiums — renovations are long overdue. LEDs, lasers, better screens. Reliable wifi. Concession upgrades where fans can order food from seats like at pro ballparks in NFL and MLB. An overhang on student section side of stadium to create some shade during day games. Renovated luxury boxes. Field-level VIP seating and concessions (like Cowboys or Braves stadiums where concessions are ground level inside stadium and you walk out field level into seating section.”
“Higher end food options”
“Make it like a Wrigleyville for the Cubs by adding better outdoor activities.”
“More space. At 6-foot-5, I can’t fit in a non-aisle seat.”
“I sit in Section 318, upper deck of North Endzone, and the main concession stand serving that area has gotten unbelievably slow. Major changes are needed to speed them way up.”
“Bottled water that doesn’t cost $4”
“Recruiting is king in CFB. The Gators are building a brand new facility that will be sure to wow prospects for the next 5-10 years, but in my (probably minority) opinion, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium looks and feels outdated. My biggest issue with it is that you can see the concrete under-side of the seats from outside the stadium. I know a lot of venues have that, but I just don’t like the look at BHG. And then beyond that, the seating without backs feels very 1940s. If BHG underwent a renovation similar to USC’s LA Memorial Coliseum’s (they now have handrails in every walkway and nice seats for their patrons), I would be very satisfied.
“More potties”
“Less piped-in music, more band”
“Jeremy Foley banned from the building.”
“I would like it to be quicker to enter the stadium. Demoralizing to travel five hours to get to Gainesville and then spend quality pregame time in a very slow-moving line to get inside. Do I leave my tailgate early and ensure a smooth entrance? Or do I risk a 25-minute chokepoint?”
“Great experience already. Glad they’re selling beer and wine, I can retire my floppy flask.”
“BHG is perfect as is”
What will Florida’s regular-season record be in 2022?
Perhaps the fan psychology goes something like this: If the arrival of Dan Mullen can turn around Florida’s record from 4-7 to 10-3, then surely Napier’s onboarding can spin 6-7 into 9-3. There’s also some hope Anthony Richardson can emerge as an All-American beast and steal a couple wins himself.
My humble opinion: I’m currently projecting 7-5.
What’s the biggest concern about a position (or group) facing the 2022 Gators?
More than a quarter of respondents have quarterback worries, probably a nod to Richardson’s injury-riddled 2021 season.
My humble opinion: I think the Gators are most suspect at offensive tackle (right tackle, specifically), followed by defensive line and safety.
What Florida position (or group) are you most confident in for 2022?
Fan morale is high in the offensive backfield, where five-star backups Demarckus Bowman and Lorenzo Lingard might finally earn extended playing time. Nay’Quan Wright, coming off that nasty ankle injury against FSU, should be cleared for summer workouts, and Louisiana transfer Montrell Johnson looks legit. There’s also plenty of hype around four-star signee Trevor Etienne, who enrolled this week.
My humble opinion: I have the most confidence in the interior offensive line, where center Kingsley Eguakun is a capable second-year starter and three talented guards — Ethan White, Josh Braun and O’Cyrus Torrence — are contending for two spots.
Who do you want to start at quarterback in 2022?
Even though this survey came out before Jones transferred to Arizona State, voters were all in on Richardson.
My humble opinion: It’s AR-15’s ballgame. Sources within the program contend Miller’s spring practice performance was promising enough that coaches are comfortable with him being the starter in 2023 if Richardson plays himself into next year’s draft.
Editor’s note: Watch in coming days for the second half of the fan survey.

Inside the eerie world of metaverse HORROR as Resident Evil maker reveals ‘virtual terror’ secrets
METAVERSE users could soon find themselves wandering around creepy corridors and being chased by scary monsters with friends.
The new virtual world is the talk of the town among game developers at the moment, according to Tom Ivey who worked on the recent Resident Evil 4 VR.
Speaking to The Sun, the lead producer shared his thoughts on where horror could go in the metaverse.
One of the biggest challenges is that horror is usually made to use solo to increase tension and fear.
But the metaverse's heavy focus on social will make horror more multiplayer friendly.
"VR started with lots of gotcha scare moments," he said.
"I think in terms of the metaverse there is a lot of different experiences in terms of applications for work and social.
"In terms of horror, I think it's going to be more of the ease integrating social experiences in a horror, how people meet up and experience things together and one of those things if you're making a horror game is to make a social or multiplayer game and how you get that to work well."
The biggest issue for game developers is how horror games are made to set up expectations and lead the audience on a very specific path.
For example, you're slowly walking through a scary, dark hallway and are unaware of a creature lurking right behind you.

"If you're in a multiplayer environment, someone could be behind you looking at where that creature comes," Tom explained.
"So it's very hard to make multiplayer experiences for horror because it's such a set-up kind of genre.
"But I think that's one area of growth that I'd personally like to see in horror."
Resident Evil 4 VR recently added a bunch of brand new horrific bits, including the fan favourite Mercenaries mode.
The Meta Quest 2 game has several new options, like an online leaderboard and 20 challenges, as well as special unlockable extras.

Udaipur: The Congress on Sunday adopted a 'Nav Sankalp' -- a road map for wide-ranging reforms in the party organisation to make it battle-ready for the next round of assembly and Lok Sabha polls, sources said.
They said the party has adopted the one family, one ticket formula with the rider that another family member seeking to contest elections should have worked in the party in an exemplary manner for at least five years.
The party, sources said, has also approved 50 per cent representation to SCs, STs, OBCs and minorities at all levels of the organisation, as part of its social engineering efforts to win the confidence of the weaker and oppressed sections of society.
The resolution was adopted by the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party's highest decision-making body, after the final round of deliberations on key issues. The CWC met earlier in the day in the sidelines of the shivir.
After the three-day deliberations on organisational, political, economic, agricultural, social justice and youth-related issues, the dedicated panels formed for the purpose submitted their reports to the Congress president.
Ideology, economic policy, social engineering topics debated
Tricky issues relating to ideology, economic policy and social engineering were debated in the Chintan Shivir panels.
The Congress is holding the three-day conclave in Udaipur in the backdrop of a string of electoral defeats and dissent in the party for the past many years.
The declaration also includes the demand for legal guarantee to MSP for farmers, besides granting 50 per cent representation to those below 50 years of age in the party and making unemployment a major issue in the upcoming elections. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/india/2022/05/15/chintan-shivir-cong-adopts-one-family-one-ticket-formula.amp.html | 2022-05-15T12:05:24Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/india/2022/05/15/chintan-shivir-cong-adopts-one-family-one-ticket-formula.amp.html | false | 5 |
