Police name suspect in deadly attack at California church
LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — A man opened fire during a lunch reception at a Southern California church, killing one person and wounding five older people before a pastor hit the gunman on the head with a chair and parishioners hog-tied him with electrical cords.
Jerry Chen had just stepped into the kitchen of the church’s fellowship hall around 1:30 p.m. Sunday when he heard the gunshots.
Chen, 72, a longtime member of the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, which worships at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, peeked around the corner and saw others screaming, running and ducking under tables.
“I knew someone was shooting,” he said. “I was very, very scared. I ran out the kitchen door to call 911. "
Officials said the shooting ended after the gunman killed one man and wounded five older people before worshippers hog-tied his legs with an electrical cord until deputies arrived. Four of the five people wounded suffered critical gunshot injuries; their conditions were not immediately available Monday morning.
David Chou, 68, of Las Vegas has been booked on one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department tweeted. Jail records show Chou is being held on $1 million bail. It’s not immediately known whether he has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
The church was cordoned off Monday with yellow police tape and several bouquets of flowers were left outside the church grounds.
But on Sunday afternoon, Chen said he was in such a state of shock that he was unable to tell the operator his location when he called 911 from the church’s parking lot.
“I had to ask someone else for the address,” he said.
Chen said a group of about 40 congregants had gathered in the fellowship hall for a luncheon after a morning service to welcome their former Pastor Billy Chang, a beloved and respected community member who had served the church for 20 years. Chang moved back to Taiwan two years ago. This was his first time back stateside, Chen said.
“Everyone had just finished lunch,” he said. “They were taking photos with Pastor Chang. I had just finished my lunch and went into the kitchen.”
That was when he heard the gunshots and ran out.
Soon afterward, Chen said he heard the details of what happened inside from others who came out. Fellow congregants told Chen that when the gunman stopped to reload, Chang hit him on the head with a chair while others moved quickly to grab his gun. They then subdued him and tied him up, Chen said.
“It was amazing how brave (Chang) and the others were,” he said. “This is just so sad. I never, ever thought something like this would happen in my church, in my community.”
Most of the church’s members are older, highly educated Taiwanese immigrants, Chen said.
“We’re mostly retirees and the average age of our church is 80,” he said.
Orange County Undersheriff Jeff Hallock praised the parishioners’ quick work to detain the gunman.
“That group of churchgoers displayed what we believe is exceptional heroism and bravery in intervening to stop the suspect. They undoubtedly prevented additional injuries and fatalities,” Hallock said. “I think it’s safe to say that had people not intervened, it could have been much worse.”
The shooting came a day after an 18-year-old man shot and killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
As news of the shooting broke on the heels of the racist rampage in Buffalo — where the white gunman allegedly targeted a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood — fear spread that the Taiwanese congregation had also been targets of a hate crime.
But when the shooter was identified as an Asian man, other questions arose as the investigation into the violence and the gunman’s motive continues.
The case is in its early stages, Hallock said. He said the many unanswered questions include whether the assailant attended the church service, if he was known to church members and how many shots were fired.
Laguna Woods was built as a senior living community and later became a city. More than 80% of residents in the city of 18,000 people about 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles are at least 65. The shooting was in an area with a cluster of houses of worship, including Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist churches and a Jewish synagogue.
Those wounded by gunshots included four Asian men, ages 66, 75, 82 and 92, and an 86-year-old Asian woman, the sheriff’s department said.
It was not immediately clear whether all of the victims were of Taiwanese descent, or if the gunman also has ties to Taiwan.
Taiwan’s democratically elected government has long taken a hands-off approach to religion on the island, where most follow Buddhism and traditional Chinese beliefs, but where Christianity and other religions also thrive.
Taiwan’s chief representative in the U.S., Bi-khim Hsiao, offered condolences to the families on Twitter.
“I join the families of the victims and Taiwanese American communities in grief and pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded survivors,” Hsiao wrote on Sunday.
The deadliest shooting inside a U.S. church was in 2017 in Sutherland Springs, Texas. A gunman opened fire during a Sunday service at First Baptist Church and killed more than two dozen people.
In 2015, Dylann Roof fired dozens of bullets during the closing prayer of a 2015 Bible study session at Charleston’s Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina. Nine members of the Black congregation were killed in the racist violence and Roof became the first person in the U.S. sentenced to death for a federal hate crime. His appeal remains before the Supreme Court.

DURHAM, N.C., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SJF Ventures and 38 other climate venture funds write letter to congress and administration:
Dear President Biden, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi,
As leaders of venture capital funds investing in entrepreneurial companies leading the clean energy transition, we are writing to urge you to pass the pending energy legislation this spring to accelerate America's move to a more affordable, secure, clean, and vibrant energy industry. The war in Ukraine has made the mission to cut global reliance on fossil fuels all the more urgent.
Many companies we have funded have scaled tremendously in the solar, wind, hydro, storage, efficiency, resilience, and biofuels industries and now provide more than four million jobs1 in the U.S. and produce 21% of the country's power2. These companies are helping on-shore the supply chain for the energy industries of the future, creating high quality manufacturing and installation jobs in every state and county.
Our funds and many others are speeding up the pace of investment in energy innovation. In 2021, $56 billion in venture capital was invested in over 1,600 Climate Tech companies in the U.S., increasing by more than 5X over the past six years.3
However, to confidently invest, we need consistent federal policy leadership. We appreciate the smart grid, electric vehicle, carbon capture and R&D measures in the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last fall. Now we ask you to proceed on the remaining pending legislation including clean energy tax credits, research support, domestic manufacturing incentives, resilience and mitigation investments, and electric vehicle incentives. We also encourage the Administration to remove barriers to building more clean energy infrastructure, such as rapidly settling the recent solar module trade case.
For the U.S. to build a vibrant and healthy economy of the future, we must accelerate public investment to match the level of private dollar spending, including by funds like ours. These investments will strengthen the U.S. response to fossil fuel driven autocracies and will also help prevent the U.S. from falling further behind in leading these critical industries as countries like China invest heavily to support innovation and deployment of clean energy technologies.
The U.S. energy industry has led the world in technology and innovation. Our funds are excited to invest in the industry's future, helping to create quality jobs, build a vibrant and resilient economy, reduce emissions, and enhance national security.

Toronto is getting a Tulum-style beachfront restaurant but brunch will cost you $110
We all love a good beachfront brunch here in Toronto, but would you shell out $110 for one?
That's the price tag for one of the city's favourite meals at a brand new restaurant popping up near the water.
Playa Patron is a day-to-night beach party that will take place right on the sand of Ashbridges Bay Park.
Brunch will be curated by Tulum chef Cesar Castaneda Martinez and will consist of three courses paired with three tequila cocktails (or three non-alcoholic beverages). DJs will provide a house soundtrack with Sharam and Max Chapman spinning.
The first course is a sea bass and passion fruit aguachile, the second is pork belly and xcatic chile tacos on handmade tortillas, and for dessert there's marquesitas, a kind of Mexican crepe with kiwi and chocolate.
There's also an alternate vegan menu with watermelon aguachile, potato tacos and a smoked mango dessert.
The drinks available at brunch will be a Daisy 75, Los Altos Colada and a classic paloma. Lots of other cocktails available beyond brunch include a Coco Paloma, Paloma Spritz and smoked Old Fashioned.
The event runs from July 7 to 10, and if you can't afford the $110 brunch ticket but still want in on the experience, you can always go for the $25 evening ticket that gets you one free welcome cocktail and access to a beach club experience with deep tropical house DJs.
Mexican street food and additional cocktails will also be available for purchase during the evening.
Tickets can be reserved online and you can book up to six tickets at a time. You can also reach out to find out more about a VIP/table service experience.

Abstract
The risk of brain trauma has been associated with the rotational kinematics leading to the development of helmets with a variety rotational management technologies. The purpose of this paper was to employ a rotation specific test protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of two of these technologies. Dynamic response of the head was measured to assess the performance of each technology. Three cycling helmets with identical construction were included in this study. One helmet with no rotational technology, an established, commercial technology and a novel helmet rotational technology designed and assembled by the authors were tested. A drop test onto a 45° anvil was used to measure the ability of each helmet to manage the dynamic response of the head form during a series of impacts. The results revealed both rotational helmet technologies resulted in lower peak rotational acceleration and brain strain, however each technology demonstrated unique performance characteristics depending on the impact condition.

NEAR AUGUSTA — The Sun River Shed Hunt is quite the deal around the Rocky Mountain Front. People from all over spent Sunday afternoon looking for treasure.
The Sun River Shed Hunt is every year on May 15. People venture out into the wild in hopes of coming back with a trophy or two.
It also helps drive elk that are still in the area away for the summer.
FWP estimated at least 300 vehicles, plenty more on horseback, and around 750 to 1,000 people in total all with the same goal.
Out in the wilderness west of Augusta, hundreds of people lined up in hopes of finding elk antlers, and at exactly noon, Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks open the gates and hundreds of people stampeded in.
“Today is focused on the shedding of elk antlers that are on the ground throughout the area, so we have a large turnout every of people that come just for a spring adventure to get out,” FWP spokesman Mark Schlepp said. “Elk are still a mystical creature for people. They love coming up here to try to find any antlers they can. It’s a great time for people to get out.”
Schlepp added that the large group of people helps drive remaining elk out and that they are supposed to migrate for the summer and only stay in the area during the winter.
Anyone is welcome, including newcomers who haven’t done it before.
“Nice scenery, the excitement before it starts. I really like how you just get to be outdoors. It’s a cool experience,’ Helena resident Gavin Anderson said.
The shed hunt will go all day and likely into Monday with many people camping out.

Kansas Supreme Court hears oral arguments on state legislative districts case
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas Supreme Court on Monday morning heard oral arguments on reapportioned state legislative districts.
During the oral arguments, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt asked the justices to uphold the reapportioned districts, which were approved during the recently completed 2022 Kansas legislative session.
Schmidt also encouraged the Supreme Court justices to be mindful of upcoming deadlines regarding the August 2022 primary elections. He said June 15 is “something of a hard deadline” to prepare military ballots for the Aug. 2 primary.
Meanwhile, Mark Johnson, a Kansas City-based lawyer, argued the court should overturn the newly aproved state legislative districts.
Johnson noted that the new redistricting map wasn’t done in a transparent fashion and that it was presented to Democrat lawmakers on March 14 as a done deal.
Though a “listening tour” was conducted, Johnson said, the result leading to the new legislative districts was “predetermined.”
He added that Democrats had “no voice” in the process.
The Kansas Supreme Court didn’t make a ruling in the case on Monday morning. There was no indication of when a ruling would be made.

Woman donates 45 gallons of breastmilk to help with baby formula shortage
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG/Gray News) - An Iowa mother has been trying to help other moms who have been struggling to find baby formula among a nationwide formula shortage.
The formula’s out-of-stock rate was more than 50% in Iowa, according to KCRG. That’s within the top six worst in the nation.
Andrea Heidenreich made her last breast milk donation to the Mother’s Milk Bank of Iowa on Saturday, bringing her to a total of 45 gallons of breast milk donated.
“Sometimes women can overproduce breastmilk, and I was one of those overproducers,” Heidenreich said. “We just decided we could help other parents and babies along the way.”
Heidenreich didn’t want the milk to go to waste, especially after seeing a formula shortage and moms struggling to find a way to feed their babies.
“There are parents that are very stressed out trying to find formula to feed their babies and for moms who aren’t able to breastfeed,” Heidenreich said. “It’s a struggle of wondering where that’s going to come from.”
The Mother’s Milk Bank of Iowa said Heidenreich wasn’t alone in stepping up.
“We’re experiencing an increase in milk donors who mention the formula shortage and their desire to help,” a spokesperson for the organization said. “They are remarkable and generous women.”
“If moms have extra breast milk and feel they can donate it, there is a real need right now,” she said.
It’s a feeling that Heidenreich knew firsthand after the birth of her son Oliver.
“It was very emotional not being able to feed him,” Heidenreich said. “We worked with a lactation specialist at Mercy.”
Saturday’s donation ends Heidenreich’s breastfeeding journey, one that started stressfully but ended up helping several mothers in the end.
“I think for any woman when they’re done breastfeeding, it’s emotional,” Heidenreich said. “I just know we can help other babies and moms along the way.”

CHICAGO, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Martin Luther King Drive will be filled with family entertainment as communities come together representing the start of a new school year. The 93rd year of the Bud Billiken® Parade will commence on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. and will be broadcast live on ABC7 Chicago from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The legendary Parade will bring the community together in celebration featuring a host of celebrity guests, the South Shore Drill Team, a signature mix of performing teams, extraordinary floats, marching bands, and more.
The Bud Billiken® Parade and Festival takes place in historic Bronzeville, on the second Saturday in August. It proceeds south on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive from Oakwood Boulevard to 51st Street and continues Ellsworth Drive through Washington Park to 55th Street where it disbands. The Parade is followed by the festival which is located in Washington Park near 52nd and Ellsworth Drive. The festival includes children's activities, vendors, entertainment, and competitions from 10 am to 4 pm.
Robert Sengstacke Abbott, founder of the Chicago Defender Newspaper, started the Bud Billiken® Parade on August 11th, 1929. The first parade began with the goal to honor the hard work and dedication of the newsboys who sold the Chicago Defender Newspaper. Mr. Abbott then created the newsboy's band which included musical greats such as Nat King Cole and Lionel Hampton. Over the years, hundreds of thousands have lined the parade route with millions viewing the festivities on live television. Today, the parade features dozens of dance teams, drill teams, marching bands, floats and more. Many notable celebrities have appeared in the Bud Billiken® Parade throughout the years, including President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, L.L. Cool J, Spike Lee, Michael Jordan, Queen Latifah, Tyler Perry, Chance the Rapper, Chaka Khan, and actor/rapper T.I., just to name a few. Historically greats have attended such as Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Lena Horne and President Harry S. Truman.
"After 93 years, the Bud Billiken® Parade continues to be the 2nd largest parade in the Nation next to the Rose Parade, featuring the talents of our youth throughout the Nation," says Myiti Sengstacke-Rice, Parade Chair and Chicago Defender Charities, CEO.

(KTLA) – The suspect in the church shooting that killed one person and wounded five others in Laguna Woods, California, was identified Monday as a 68-year-old Las Vegas man.
David Chou was booked on one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder in connection with the Sunday afternoon shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind the violence at the church.
The attack happened during a lunch banquet after the morning service at Geneva Presbyterian, where dozens of people were gathered. The gunman entered the church and opened fire, striking multiple people.
One man was shot and killed. His identity is being withheld pending notification of his family.
Five other people were wounded, including an 86-year-old woman and four men aged 66, 92, 82 and 75, officials said.
The shooting came to an end when, in an act of “extraordinary heroism,” the church’s congregants overpowered the suspect and hogtied him with an extension cord until first responders arrived, authorities said.
A churchgoer told the Los Angeles Times that the pastor hit the gunman with a chair as he was reloading his gun and other churchgoers tackled him.
“I think it’s safe to say, had people not intervened, it could’ve been a lot worse,” Undersheriff Jeff Hallock said Sunday. “There were 30 to 40 people inside.”
After the deadly shooting, investigators reported finding two handguns at the scene. Since the guns were serialized, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives placed an “urgent trace” on the firearms to determine who bought them, officials said.
The shooting in Orange County came just one day after a gunman opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 people.
“It is horrifying to be grieving yet another tragic shooting in just 72 hours – another weekend in America defined by senseless violence,” Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff said in a statement.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released a statement Sunday afternoon, saying they were monitoring the shooting and working closely with local law enforcement.
“No one should have to fear going to their place of worship. Our thoughts are with the victims, community, and all those impacted by this tragic event,” the statement read. | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/suspect-in-california-church-shooting-idd-as-68-year-old-vegas-man/ | 2022-05-16T17:49:29Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/suspect-in-california-church-shooting-idd-as-68-year-old-vegas-man/ | false | 14 |
Price surge leaves Georgia with some of the cheapest gas in U.S.
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Gas prices nationwide have gone up for the fourth straight week, but Georgia drivers can breathe easy that they’re paying less than most other drivers across the U.S.
As of Monday, there are only three states with a gas price average below $4 per gallon – Georgia, Kansas and Oklahoma. Even so, those states’ averages all sit over $3.98 per gallon.
In Augusta, you might be paying a little more, with gas prices here above the state average.
The national average is now $4.46 per gallon, up 15.3 cents from a week ago, according to GasBuddy.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices later this week could be closer to $5 per gallon.
“While the increases may start to slow in the days ahead as pump prices catch up to oil, there isn’t much reason to be optimistic that we’ll see a plunge anytime soon,” De Haan said.
The states with the highest average gas prices are California ($5.95 per gallon), Hawaii ($5.27 per gallon), and Nevada ($5.15 per gallon).

The Falcons announced on Monday they have made six roster moves, including signing WR Geronimo Allison, DB Tre Webb and TE Tucker Fisk.
🚨 Roster moves 🚨
We have signed Geronimo Allison, Tucker Fisk and Tre Webb and released Chad Hansen, Daniel Helm and Luther Kirk.
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) May 16, 2022
In corresponding moves, the Falcons released WR Chad Hansen, TE Daniel Helm and S Luther Kirk.
Allison, 28, wound up signing on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois back in 2016. He was unable to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but was later signed to their practice squad and eventually promoted to their active roster after Green Bay sustained some injuries at receiver.
Allison re-signed with Green Bay as a restricted free agent in 2019 before departing for a one-year contract with the Lions. He opted out of the 2020 season due to the pandemic and was later brought back to the Lions practice squad in 2021.
In 2021, Allison appeared in all three games for the Lions and recorded no statistics.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The white gunman accused of committing a racist massacre at a Buffalo supermarket made threating comments that brought police to his high school last spring, but he was never charged with a crime and had no further contact with law enforcement after his release from a hospital, officials said.
The revelation raised questions about whether his encounter with police and the mental health system was yet another missed opportunity to put a potential mass shooter under closer law enforcement scrutiny, get him help, or make sure he didn’t have access to deadly firearms.
Authorities said Sunday that they were investigating the attack on predominantly Black shoppers and workers at the Tops Friendly Market as a potential federal hate crime or act of domestic terrorism.
Payton Gendron, 18, traveled about 200 miles (320 kilometers) from his home in Conklin, New York, to Buffalo to commit the attack, police said.Federal authorities were still working to confirm the authenticity of a racist 180-page document, purportedly written by Gendron, that said the assault was intended to terrorize all non-white, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country.
Law enforcement officials revealed Sunday that New York State Police troopers had been called to Gendron’s high school last June, for a report that Gendron, then 17, had made threatening statements.
Gendron threatened to carry out a shooting at Susquehanna Valley High School, in Conklin, New York, around the time of graduation, a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly on the investigation.
Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Gendron had no further contact with law enforcement after a mental health evaluation that put him in a hospital for a day and a half.
“Nobody called in,” he said. “Nobody called any complaints,” Gramaglia said. The threat was “general” in nature, he said, and not related to race.
New York is one of several states that have enacted “red flag” laws in recent years that were intended to try and prevent mass shootings committed by people who show warning signs that they might be a threat to themselves or others.
Those laws allow law enforcement officers, a person’s family, or in some cases, medical professionals or school officials to petition courts to temporarily seize a troubled person’s firearms, or prevent them from buying guns.
Federal law bars people from owning a gun if a judge has determined they have a “mental defect” or they have been forced into a mental institution — but an evaluation alone would not trigger the prohibition.
It is unclear whether officials could have invoked “red flag” legislation after the incident at Susquehanna Valley High School. Police and prosecutors wouldn’t provide details on the incident, or say when Gendron had purchased the weapons used in the assault.
The long list of mass shootings in the U.S. involving missed opportunities to intervene includes the 2018 massacre of 17 students at a high school in Parkland, Florida, where law enforcement officials had received numerous complaints about the gunman’s threatening statements, and the killings of more than two dozen people at a Texas church in 2017 by a former U.S. Air Force serviceman who was able to buy a gun despite a violent history.
The victims of Saturday’s attack in Buffalo included an 86-year-old woman who had just visited her husband in a nursing home, a man buying a cake for his grandson, a church deacon helping people get home with their groceries and a supermarket security guard.
The shooter livestreamed the attack on Twitch, prompting scrutiny of how fast social platforms react to violent videos.
President Joe Biden planned to visit Buffalo Tuesday.
Gendron surrendered to police who confronted him in the supermarket’s vestibule. He was arraigned later Saturday on a murder charge. Relatives didn’t respond to messages.
A lengthy statement circulating online, attributed to Gendron, outlined a racist ideology rooted in a belief that the United States should belong only to white people.
Portions of the Twitch video circulating online showed the gunman killing multiple shoppers in less than a minute. At one point, he trains his weapon on a white person cowering behind a checkout counter, but says “Sorry!” and doesn’t shoot.
Screenshots purporting to be from the broadcast appear to show a racial slur targeting Black people scrawled on his rifle.
Authorities said he shot, in total, 11 Black people and two white people Saturday.
“This individual came here with the express purpose of taking as many Black lives as he possibly could,” Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said at a news conference Sunday.
Associated Press reporters Robert Bumsted in Buffalo, Michael Hill in Albany, New York, Travis Loller in Nashville and Jake Bleiberg in Dallas contributed reporting. Balsamo reported from Washington.

BEULAH – Two people will be nominated for awards by the Benzie County Sheriff’s Office after rescuing a woman from a car accident that resulted in a gas leak and evacuation of the surrounding area.
Benzie County Undersheriff Greg Hubers said Dillon Rosa and Don Shepard helped get Blanch Blacklock, 84, to safety after she ran her Jeep Liberty off the road and struck a gas main.
The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. on May 6, according to police reports. Blacklock, a resident of Honor, was eastbound on Homestead Road when she ran off the road near Eldredge Road and struck a mailbox, power pole and the gas main.
Hubers said Rosa came upon the accident and found Blacklock unconscious in her vehicle and noticed the leak. He pulled Blacklock out and away from her vehicle about 25 yards. Shepard then came across the scene and helped move her farther from the gas leak.
Hubers said the gas leak was substantial, and around 25 people were evacuated from their homes between Case Road and Eldridge Road.
“It was really leaking; it sounded like a jet,” Hubers said. “When DTE Energy employees arrived to shut it down, they were amazed there was no ignition.”
Hubers said workers from DTE were able to shut the leak off quickly.
Rosa works as an animal control officer for Manistee County and formerly worked as an animal control officer for Benzie County. Shepard is the nurse for the Benzie County Jail, according to Hubers.
“They definitely saved this woman’s life,” Hubers said. “I will give commendation recommendations for them to the sheriff.”
Rosa said it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
“I got out of work early to go Mother’s Day shopping; normally I wouldn’t even be crossing through there during that time of day.” He said. “I have to thank my previous employers and training for knowing how to respond quickly. I’m glad it worked out the way it did and everyone was safe in the end.” | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Undersheriff-to-nominate-passerbys-who-helped-17176375.php | 2022-05-16T18:01:55Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Undersheriff-to-nominate-passerbys-who-helped-17176375.php | false | 1 |

- Microsoft is increasing pay through bigger stock grants and salary increases effective Sept. 1.
- As Insider reported, the raises are partly aimed at stopping employees going to competitors.
- In an internal poll this year, 66% of employees said they get a "good deal at Microsoft."
Microsoft is increasing pay for employees through bigger stock grants and merit increases effective Sept. 1. CEO Satya Nadella announced the changes to employees in an email on Monday.
"As we approach our annual total rewards process, we are making a significant additional investment this year to compensate our employees globally," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an email. "We are nearly doubling our salary budget and increasing Annual Stock ranges by at least 25 percent, primarily for our early to mid-career employees. We remain a pay-for-performance company and these investments are part of our holistic rewards offering to our employees. While we have factored in the impact of inflation and rising cost of living, these changes also recognize our appreciation to our world-class talent who support our mission, culture and customers and partners."
Nadella's email, viewed by Insider, says annual stock range increases will apply to employees level 67 and below. Merit increases, meaning salary increases made in line with individual performance, will vary by country, and the "most meaningful increases will be made where the market demands" and for early to mid-career levels.
As Insider reported on Friday, Microsoft has been considering pay raises across its workforce to address growing dissatisfaction with compensation and stop employees from leaving to competitors including Amazon.
Just 66% of employees in an annual internal Microsoft employee survey this year favorably to a question about whether they get a "good deal at Microsoft (i.e. there is a reasonable balance between what I contribute to Microsoft and what I get in return)." That appears to be down from 73% last year, though Microsoft overhauled its employee survey this year so the results may not be comparable.
Two people familiar with the matter told Insider the raises are meant in part to stop employees from going to Amazon. Amazon in February more than doubled its maximum base salary to $350,000 in response to widespread angst over what employees there saw as comparatively low pay. Some Amazon engineers told Insider they got pay increases as high as 90%, but the change did amount to significant raises for everyone.

Abstract
Healthy development in the early years lays the foundations for children's ongoing physical, emotional, and social development. Children develop in multiple contexts, including their local neighbourhood. Neighbourhood-built environment characteristics, such as housing, walkability, traffic exposure, availability of services, facilities, and parks, are associated with a range of health and wellbeing outcomes across the life course, but evidence with early years' outcomes is still emerging. Data linkage techniques were used to assemble a dataset of spatial (objectively-measured) neighbourhood-built environment (BE) measures linked to participant addresses in the 2015 Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) for children living in the 21 most populous urban and regional Australian cities (n = 235,655) to help address this gap. This paper describes the methods used to develop this dataset. This linked dataset (AEDC-BE) is the first of its kind worldwide, enabling opportunities for identifying which features of the built environment are associated with ECD across Australia at scale, allow comparisons between diverse contexts, and the identification of where best to intervene. National data coverage provides statistical power to model real-world complexities, such as differences by city, state/territory, and remoteness. The neighbourhood-built environment can be modified by policy and practice at scale, and has been identified as a way to help reduce inequitable early childhood development outcomes.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A Polish Nobel Prize-winning author on Sunday called Russia a threat to the “free world,” saying its attack on neighboring Ukraine had echoes of the Second World War.
Olga Tokarczuk, known for her humanist themes and playful, subversive streak, spoke at the Jerusalem International Writers Festival.
“The Poles share the Ukrainian feeling of danger that Russia presents to the free world,” Tokarczuk said, adding that the Polish government had warned about the risk presented by Russian aggression for years.
Poland, Ukraine’s western neighbor, has taken in over three million Ukrainian refugees since Russia launched its invasion in late February. Warsaw has called for tough international sanctions against Russia.
“Nobody could imagine that this war would be so cruel so anachronistic and this war brings to mind the horrible images of World War Two,” she said.
Tokarczuk was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2018 for her 18th-century epic “The Books of Jacob,” about a Jewish mystic and sect leader named Jacob Frank. | https://wgno.com/news/entertainment/polish-nobel-author-says-russia-threat-to-free-world/ | 2022-05-16T18:15:54Z | https://wgno.com/news/entertainment/polish-nobel-author-says-russia-threat-to-free-world/ | false | 27 |

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia will be the Prime Minister if it comes to power through the next general election, said the party’s standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain.
“Some Awami League leaders, including Obaidul Quader, have asked who will be BNP’s prime minister? We would like to clearly announce that Begum Khaleda Zia will be our prime minister,” he said while addressing at a discussion organized by “Gonotranta Forum” at National Press Club in Dhaka on Monday.
Khandaker Mosharraf said everybody in Bangladesh knows that BNP will come to power in the future.
“We have a three-time Prime Minister, Begum Khaleda Zia, who will be the PM of the country. But Obaidul Quader doesn’t see it,” he said.
Criticizing Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader’s recent remarks, Khandaker Mosharraf said, “Awami League President Sheikh Hasina said that she does not want to be the Prime Minister anymore. They would not be able to come to power this time. If they come to power after 10 years then make it clear who will be their Prime Minister.”
He further said, “Awami League is using all kinds of evil thoughts. No more evil thoughts would be fruitful in this country.”
Reiterating the party’s position on the upcoming general elections, the BNP standing committee member said, “BNP will not go to any polls under Sheikh Hasina. Not only BNP but people all over Bangladesh have said that they will not go to the polls under partisan government.”
“Different political parties are saying that they will not go to polls under partisan government. It is clear. That means we will not sit idle also.”
Mentioning that they will oust the government, Khandaker Mosharraf said streets are the only option left to oust this government. “BNP’s acting chairman said that the decision will be made on streets. There is no hiding in it.”
He warned that the government that the latter will have to take responsibility if a situation like Sri Lanka arises in the country.
BNP chairperson’s adviser Zainul Abedin Farroque, executive committee member Abu Naser Muhammad Rahmatullah, Bilkis Islam and Krishak Dal president Hasan Jafir Tuhin were, among others, present at the programme. | https://banglamirrornews.com/2022/05/16/khaleda-to-be-pm-if-bnp-comes-to-power-mosharraf/ | 2022-05-16T18:21:04Z | https://banglamirrornews.com/2022/05/16/khaleda-to-be-pm-if-bnp-comes-to-power-mosharraf/ | false | 1 |

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s I-70 podcast. On this show we talk all things Big Ten football and basketball. After every week of action, we will get you caught up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players that you should be paying attention to in the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.

Another week, another episode of the “I-70 Football Show.” In this week’s episode, the guys open the show discussing playoff basketball as the Celtics blow out the Bucks and the Mavs were up big on the Suns. Dante discusses watching new anime and we get into the future of streaming giants Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max.
Once getting back into college sports, they talk about how this is a pivotal summer for college football and the NCAA — the Big Ten included. With legislation set to pass that will get rid of the rule that required conferences with more than 12 teams to have round-robin schedule or divisions to host a conference championship game, will the Big Ten capitalize on this rule and get rid of their uneven divisions? The guys answer this question and more with TV rights and playoff expansion on the horizon.
In their weekly pit stops, Jordan discusses James Harden being washed and not helping the 76ers in the playoffs. After taking two shots in the second half of a must-win Game 7, should the Sixers regret the trade? Dante celebrates the NFL schedule release and highlights the NFL teams with the best announcements.

Turkey Unable To Agree To NATO Membership Of Finland, Sweden - Erdogan
Umer Jamshaid Published May 16, 2022 | 10:43 PM
Turkey can not say "yes" to the membership of Finland and Sweden in NATO, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday
ANKARA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th May, 2022) Turkey can not say "yes" to the membership of Finland and Sweden in NATO, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday.
Earlier in May, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the majority of Turks oppose the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO over their open support for the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Kurdish YPG militia, which are deemed terrorists by Ankara.
"We can't say yes. Then NATO will not be a security organization, but will become a place where there will be many representatives of terrorists. We can't say yes, let them not be offended," Erdogan told a press conference, adding that cannot believe Stockholm's and Helsinki's assurances that they will stop supporting terrorists.
The president also said that delegations from Finland and Sweden will visit Turkey on Monday.

Premier Soccer League Suspends All Matches Over Incidents Of Violence & Hooliganism
Following incidents of violence and hooliganism in Sunday’s match between Highlanders and Dynamos, the Premier Soccer League has suspended the league indefinitely with immediate effect.
There were incidences of violence at Barbourfields Stadium after Dynamos players and fans staged a pitch protest over the hosts’ injury time goal. Dynamos fans reportedly invaded the pitch and went on to uproot the goalposts and tore the nets.
The match ended up being suspended due to the uproar.
Dynamos players have since been blamed for inciting the violence that forced their Premier Soccer League match against Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium to be abandoned before full-time on Sunday.
In an effort to address the incident, the PSL saw it fit to suspend all the upcoming matches indefinitely.
iHarare is publishing the statement in its entirety;
The Premier Soccer League has suspended all Castle Lager PSL matches with immediate effect until further notice following incidents of violence and hooliganism that continue to take place in our football.
The PSL strongly condemns such acts as they can only serve to tarnish the beautiful game of football.
We are currently engaging all key stakeholders to find lasting solutions to these challenges.
We have scheduled a meeting with Security Officials including the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Club Security Officers and Marshals as well as stadium owners on Friday 20 May 2022.
Meanwhile, we have requested Highlanders FC, Dynamos FC and the ZRP to furnish us with reports detailing the events that transpired at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday 15 May 2022. We will take disciplinary action after receiving the said reports.
We take this opportunity to apologise to all football loving fans, our sponsors and stakeholders.
We hope to address these challenges before resuming football matches. | https://iharare.com/premier-soccer-league-suspends-all-matches-over-incidents-of-violence-hooliganism/ | 2022-05-16T18:34:14Z | https://iharare.com/premier-soccer-league-suspends-all-matches-over-incidents-of-violence-hooliganism/ | true | 1 |
In New York City, in the 20th century, tens of thousands of women and transmasculine people were incarcerated at the so-called House of D, a brutal women's prison that opened in Greenwich Village in 1932. Author Hugh Ryan says that in many cases, the prisoners were charged with crimes related to gender-nonconforming behavior.
"Drunkenness, waywardism, disobedience to their parents, being out at night by themselves, wearing pants, accepting a date from a man, accepting a ride from a man," Ryan says. "All of these things could have gotten you arrested if you were perceived as the 'wrong kind of woman.'"
In his new book, The Women's House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison, Ryan writes about the prison, and about the role it played in the gay rights movement of the '60s, including the Stonewall Uprising of 1969.
"The House of D [was] 500 feet from the Stonewall Inn," Ryan says. "On the first night of the riots, people incarcerated in the prison could actually see what was happening out their windows, and they started a riot all their own, setting fire to their belongings and throwing them down to the streets below while chanting 'Gay rights! Gay rights! Gay rights!'"
By the '50s and '60s, Ryan estimates, "around 75% of the people incarcerated in the House of D are queer in some way." In the 1960s, the prison began marking gay prisoners with a "D" for "degenerate," and placing them into solitary confinement because they were considered a "danger to other women."
In 1965, 18-year-old Andrea Dworkin arrived at the House of D after being arrested for protesting the Vietnam war. Upon her release, Dworkin, who was white and middle class, spoke out about the violent and dehumanizing pelvic exam she endured upon her intake. Suddenly, Ryan says, the conditions at the prison became a "flash point" for city and state government, and the House of D was eventually shut down in 1972.
"The move to get rid of the House of D and move women over to Rikers basically starts in that moment," he says, referring to New York City's main jail complex. "It's going to happen because of what happened to Andrea Dworkin, but beneath that is a base of this happening to so many other women and trans men whose stories had been told but largely forgotten or ignored or dismissed."
Interview highlights
On the ways in which prison is used to control people who aren't white men
Constantly I was shocked to see the way in which our system of justice for women simply is unjust and different from the one we have for men. Women's incarceration is a different situation. It's not about crimes against people like violence, and it's not about crimes against property like theft. It's about social control. And in fact, the origins of our women's prison system come about in the 1870s, right after the Civil War. Right at the same time, the census is asking about women's employment for the first time. If you go back to that moment, that 1870s moment, what we see is that a system that had mostly been intended to punish the violent, anti-social acts of white men gets repurposed for social control over Black people of all genders and women of all races and all of these things that weren't considered crimes or were considered maybe something you would get a fine for or a citation suddenly become vectors for incarceration when they're applied to Black people and to women.
On the goal of the detention center to reinforce female gender norms
From the moment we have these stand-alone women's institutions, they are focused on this idea of creating proper feminine subjects. And this is a moral imperative, but it's also economic. In this time period, it was thought that there were really only two roles that a woman could have that would get her out of poverty: being a wife or being a maid. Both of those things required you to be properly feminized.
So the prison system, understanding that women were often being arrested because they were poor, tries to remold them into "proper" women, who will not be arrested for being poor because they will be able to have these jobs and they will be good people.
For men, the prisons try to make you a good citizen. But for women, the prison tries to make you a good woman — and that's a very different thing. And that is the reason why so many gender-nonconforming people, why so many queer women, lesbian women, butches, studs, trans men get caught up in the prison system, because for those people who are concerned about the lives of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, queerness was seen as a threat to ever being a normal, healthy, happy, productive member of society.
On arresting women and gender-nonconforming people for their clothes
That law actually dates back to the mid-1800s. It's ... still on the books and it's still being used. Originally, it criminalized people who dressed in costumes to protest tax collectors — upstate farmers, mostly. In the late 1800s it starts to get used to target queer people, particularly those who are gender non-conforming in some way. The law says it is only illegal to dress in a "costume" if you're in the act of committing another crime. ... But that's not how the law gets applied. In the 20th century, it gets used to target gay men, trans women, lesbians, trans men, anyone who dressed "incorrectly" for their gender. The law not only gets used then, but during Occupy Wall Street. That's the law that gets used to arrest protesters for wearing masks or other costumes while protesting.
On women and queer people being incarcerated for "waywardism"
The first waywardism laws in New York State start in the 1880s and they only apply to girls and women, originally ones who are arrested for prostitution and then expanded greatly in the late 1800s to women who might become prostitutes. And that's where they really get into danger, right? Because suddenly the charge of prostitution has nothing to do with sex work or exchanging sex for money. Instead, a wayward girl is anyone who was thought to be improperly feminine to the point where she has an invitation to prostitution. She's either too sexual or she's too masculine and unable to get any other kind of job. So of course she's going to end up being a prostitute.
Waywardism could be brought against you by the police, but also your parents could have you incarcerated for waywardism without ever being tried. The law didn't get applied to men and boys until the 1920s. Women have been vastly subjected to waywardism laws because they were seen as a threat to men. Women who were sexually active, who might be prostitutes, were likely to spread sexually transmissible infections, in the eyes of the law. And so the waywardism law gets used over and over again to target all kinds of women. Women who speak back to their parents, a lot of runaways get targeted under waywardism laws, anyone who is truant, perhaps, or anyone who shows signs of being a disobedient or masculine woman.
On the House of D's role in Greenwich Village becoming a gay capital of New York
One of the big ways is that so many queer women and trans men were being arrested around the city every year and brought to this one place where they would be tried, where they would be held, where they would go for health screenings, where they would get fingerprinted. Greenwich Village became a center for queer women and trans men because the government kept bringing them there, particularly during ... the 1950s, when the government is raiding bars and shutting down private drag shows and arresting people for dressing in the wrong gender on the streets. When everything else is being cracked down, on the House of D cannot be cracked down on, because it is the government themselves who is concatenating queer people there.
On the unnecessary, painful gynecological exams at the prison
There are all of these forced genital examinations every single time you come in and out of the prison. And sometimes those are performed by men who would ask these really uncomfortable, really gross questions about virginity and who [the prisoners] were sleeping with. ... The gynecological exams in the prison were for several purposes. First, there was a thing called "The American Plan," which was checking to see if any arrested women had an STI so that she would be held until she was forcibly cured. And then they were also checking for any kind of contraband coming into the prison: drugs, weapons. In the 1950s after a riot, I think in 1958, a new warden comes in and he actually does a study on these pelvic exams and these genital searches and these forced enemas, and he notes that no contraband has ever been found. Twenty years of these needless, violent searches that women had been protesting since the very day the prison opened, and they had never found a single thing. And those searches are still being performed today on people in women's prisons.

A Florida man with no flying experience who kept his cool while landing a small plane says “the hand of God” was with him after the pilot collapsed at the controls.
Darren Harrison told NBC's “Today" show that he was relaxing with his feet up in the back of the single-engine Cessna after a fishing trip in the Bahamas when the pilot told him and another passenger: “Guys, I gotta tell you I don’t feel good."
“He said, ‘I've got a headache and I’m fuzzy and I just don’t feel right," the 39-year-old flooring salesman said. “And I said, ‘What do we need to do?' and at that point he didn’t respond at all."
Harrison climbed into the cockpit and saw that the plane was diving, and fast.
“All I saw when I came up to the front was water out the right window and I knew it was coming quick. At that point I knew if I didn’t react, that we would die."
Harrison said he reached over the unconscious pilot and grabbed the controls, slowly pulling back the stick to level the plane. It was a common-sense move, he said.
“I knew if I went up and yanked that, the airplane would stall," he said. “And I also knew that at the rate we were going, we were going way too fast, and it would probably rip the wings off of the airplane."
That, he said, was “the scariest part of the whole story."
With help from the other passenger — a friend of the pilot, he said — they moved him out of the pilot's seat. Harrison jumped in and put on the headset, only to realize that the wires were frayed and the plug was gone. So he got the headset from the other passenger.
He reached an air traffic controller in Florida. Asked if he knew the plane's position, Harrison said the GPS was out so he had no idea.
According to Flight Aware, the plane had taken off earlier Tuesday from Marsh Harbour International Airport in the Bahamas.
The air traffic controller then asked what he could see.
“I see the state of Florida and I see a small airport," Harrison told him.
At this point, he refused to let fear set in.
“When I was flying and saw the state of Florida, at that second I knew I’m going to land there," he said. “I don’t know what the outcome’s going to be, I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I knew I’m going to have to land this airplane because there’s no other option."
Harrison said he had to get home to his wife Britney, seven months pregnant with their first child.
“People said what if you had crashed and died? You could have at least called her, you could have reached out to her, you had time," Harrison said. “In my mind I knew I wasn’t going to die, and the thought never crossed my mind to call and tell my wife ‘bye.’"
Air Traffic Controller Robert Morgan, who coached Harrison into a safe landing at Palm Beach International Airport, told him the runway would appear bigger and bigger as he approached.
At around 200 feet, Harrison said Morgan told him he needed to slow down.
“At that point I told the other guy, hey take the throttle and dump it on the floor. Just dump it on the floor as far as it will go," Harrison said.
The plane touched down safely.
“I said thank you for everything and I threw the headset on the dash and I said the biggest prayer I’ve ever said in my life," Harrison recalled.
“That's when all the emotion set in," he added.
He said he offered up a “thankful prayer for the safety and everything that had happened. But the last part of the prayer and the strongest part was for the guy in the back because I knew it was not a good situation."
The pilot was taken to a hospital and is expected to be released early this week, Harrison said.
Harrison then called his wife, who wasn't expecting to hear from him so early. She said that last year, her sister was six months pregnant when her husband died, “so honestly I took a deep breath and prepared myself for it not to be him on the other line."
“I told myself, “God we can't do this again. I don’t think I could do it again. And thankfully we didn’t have to." | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Passenger-who-landed-plane-says-hand-of-God-was-17176269.php | 2022-05-16T18:35:56Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Passenger-who-landed-plane-says-hand-of-God-was-17176269.php | true | 33 |
David Tennant's Doctor Who return will be "battle of a lifetime", says Russell T Davies
It looks like there will be plenty of action when the Doctor and Donna return.
The Doctor Who fandom is currently abuzz following the news that David Tennant and Catherine Tate will be returning to the show in 2023, as part of the series' 60th anniversary celebrations.
And while we're still very light on details as to exactly what will happen, we do have our first hints at what's to come courtesy of returning showrunner Russell T Davies.
When the announcement was made, Davies said: "They're back! And it looks impossible – first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening?
"Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime."
The announcement said the pair are filming scenes for the anniversary, leaving the size of their contribution in doubt and the possibility open that their involvement could just be a cameo appearance.
However, the assertion that they will "reunite for the battle of a lifetime" suggests that this will not be a fleeting appearance, and they will be fully engaged in the action.
Perhaps their return will therefore play out similarly to Tennant's previous appearance in 50th anniversary special The Day of The Doctor, where he had a substantial role alongside Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. If so, will more Doctors return for a full-blown multi-Doctor special, as fans have been clamouring for? Only time will tell.
By entering your details, you are agreeing to our terms and conditions and privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time.
As for Davies' teasing of how the pair will reunite, we certainly have our theories, ranging from the return of the meta-crisis Doctor to Tennant actually playing the Fourteenth incarnation of the Timelord, rather than reprising his role as the Tenth. Check out our Doctor Who theories for more.

Conference Showcased Advances in AR/VR, Auto, Signage, TV and Wearables from 150 Exhibitors
CAMPBELL, Calif., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Information Display (SID) hosted its 59th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known as Display Week 2022. After a two-year all-virtual show, the event returned as an on-site event that was held May 8-13 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, CA. This year's global event drew more than 7,500 attendees from more than 40 countries. Display Week perennially attracts the brightest minds in the display industry, providing insight into new display technologies in development, as well as affording a sneak peek at new products that will be hitting the shelves within the next few years.
"Display Week 2022 was a resounding success," said Dr. Achin Bhowmik, the new president of SID. "More than 150 hours of content were presented in our Technical Symposium and Business Conference, and attendees had the opportunity to meet with 150+ exhibiting companies and research organizations through both our onsite and virtual trade show. We kept the show a hybrid event for those that couldn't attend to view virtually. Even then, there were over 5,000 in-person attendees in San Jose with close to 32 percent of the audience being international. The virtual component allowed our international display enthusiasts to participate as we saw 60 percent of the audience from China."
Display Week continues to be a premier showcase for global information display companies and researchers to unveil cutting-edge developments in display technologies, some of which include microLED, OLED, LCD, quantum dots and e-paper.
Display Week 2022 featured hundreds of leading display research papers from both industry and academia around the world in multiple technical sessions. It included 15 seminars, five short courses, a special display metrology session, 41 business conference presentations, 291 symposium oral presentations, and 145 poster presentations.
The symposium and exhibition kicked off with keynote presentations by top executives both within and outside the display industry. Other highlights included the Women in Tech panel discussion and CEO Forum; as well as the annual SID/DSCC Business Conference, which takes a supply chain approach to addressing the market outlook for displays, smartphones and TVs, including forecasts on supply, demand, pricing, 5G, OLED, 8K, foldable, dual displays, miniLEDs quantum dots, new phosphors, microLEDs and TADF.
SID also announced the winners of its annual Display Industry Awards. The recipients reflect the ever-evolving display product landscape and represent a wide range of technological advancements with products designed to make devices that are more sustainable, economical, and engaging while providing users with a more dynamic visual experience.
I-Zone Award winners and the People's Choice Awards were also announced. The I-Zone awards honor never-before-seen display technology shown by small companies, start-ups, and academic research laboratories. The People's Choice Awards were introduced to Display Week several years ago to enable attendees to vote for the best technology, components, demonstrations, and booths on the show floor via a survey in the virtual platform.

With the cost of living crisis making an impact on almost everybody, you may be looking for quick and easy ways to cut back which won’t impact you as much. A seemingly simple thing to do which you may consider could be to cut your pension contributions. This is advised against, however, as it could seriously affect you in the long run.
The latest Which consumer insight tracker found 59% of people made an adjustment to cover essential spending last month, and 28% were forced to dip into their savings. If you're auto-enrolled into a pension scheme run by your employer, it's likely that at least 5% of your salary is going into your pension.
But although reducing or stopping your contributions could be a tempting quick win for your finances, Which says it will have consequences when you come to retire.
If you are over the age of 22, in full time employment and earn over £10,000 a year, it’s likely you were automatically enrolled into your workplace pension. Auto-enrolment pensions were launched in 2012 and now have a total minimum contribution of 8% of your qualifying earnings. Your employer must pay 3% as a minimum and the remaining 5% is paid by you. Your contribution includes tax relief, so less than 5% will come out of your salary.
You're not legally required to pay into your pension, and your employer can't require you to. If you're self-employed, you're also not required to pay into a pension. But, if you do not contribute anything and just rely on state pension, it is unlikely that you will have enough to fully fund your retirement.
If you reduce your pension contributions, it could impact you in the future more than you think. Helen Morrissey, senior pensions and retirement analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown said people should bear in mind tax relief and employer contributions.
She told Which: “Over time this extra cash can significantly boost how much goes into your pension as well as how much you get at the end.”
If you cut your contributions and don’t pay the 5% minimum, then you may be forfeiting some or all of your employer contributions. Many pay a minimum but they may also pay more to match your contribution.
If you reduce your contributions below 5%, it's up to your employer whether they let you remain in the pension scheme. You could risk losing that 3% employer contribution (effectively 'free money') altogether.
Also, when you save into a pension, the government boosts your pension contributions via tax relief. Self-employed people also get tax relief. This means that money you would have paid in tax on your earnings goes towards your retirement savings instead
If you are a basic-rate taxpayer and contributed £100 from your salary into your pension, it would actually only cost you £80. The government adds an extra £20 on top – this is what it would have taken in tax from £100 of your salary.
Even reducing your pension contribution by a small amount can have a huge impact on your retirement. Pension provider Aegon found a one-year pension break for a 25-year-old on average earnings of £29,000 and contributing the minimum amount in their workplace scheme, would mean they'd miss out on £4,600 at state pension age.
During this period they would forfeit workplace employer contributions worth £683. Their monthly saving from take-home pay would be only £75. If pension payments were paused for two years, this could mean missing out on £9,100 and £13,600 for three years.
Which suggested some tips which you should consider before cutting your pension contributions.
They recommended finding out how much you need to retire, speaking to your employer before making any major changes, and getting free pension advice. | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/cost-living-crisis-urgent-warning-23975821 | 2022-05-16T18:45:56Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/cost-living-crisis-urgent-warning-23975821 | false | 1 |

All You Need to Know About Universal Truckload (ULH) Rating Upgrade to Strong Buy
Universal Logistics (ULH) could be a solid addition to your portfolio given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company's changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Universal Truckload is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Universal Truckload, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company's underlying business. And investors' appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Universal Truckload
For the fiscal year ending December 2022, this trucking and logistics company is expected to earn $4.55 per share, which is a change of 41.3% from the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Universal Truckload. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 40%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of 'buy' and 'sell' ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a 'Strong Buy' rating and the next 15% get a 'Buy' rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of Universal Truckload to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Ride-sharing service Uber has launched ‘Comfort Electric,’ a new way for users to get around in style and be part of the company’s global commitment to become a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2040.
Last year, Uber announced that it would be partnering with rental company Hertz to make up to 50,000 Teslas available for drivers to rent by 2023. Now, less than a year after Uber’s Hertz partnership was announced, the company will be launching the new service in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Dubai, and will feature Tesla Model 3s and Polestar 2s.
Say “Yesla” to Tesla! Comfort Electric⚡️️—a shockingly cool, elevated experience. Request a premium EV to move sustainably and in style. Together we can be part of the climate solution. #GoGet https://t.co/7jbPvknph4 pic.twitter.com/yL0VkKnoWS
— Uber (@Uber) May 16, 2022
“As part of Uber’s global commitment to becoming a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2040, we’re continuing to take steps to help you go electric,” Uber said in a statement. “Now, with more electric vehicles on the road in the US than ever before, we’re excited to introduce Comfort Electric, our newest way for you to get around town in style and be a part of the climate solution. It’s as simple as tap a button and request a ride in a premium EV like a Tesla or Polestar.”
Uber also plans to add additional features to encourage drivers to switch to EVs, including EV cost calculators and a map with EV charging point locations.
Tesla rentals will cost $334 per week, excluding taxes or fees.
When the Hertz-Tesla partnership was finalized in late 2021, the rental company added that it would also be working with Uber to help make EV options more available for customers. “Today’s partnership with Uber is another major step forward in Hertz becoming an essential component of the modern mobility ecosystem and executing on our commitment to being an environmentally forward company,” CEO Mark Fields said. “We are creating the new Hertz and charting a dynamic, new course for the future of travel, mobility, and the auto industry.”
Hertz said that 50,000 Teslas from its 100,000 unit order would be open for renting by Uber drivers.
“Climate change is an urgent global challenge we must all tackle together, and now is the time to drive a green recovery from the pandemic,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said. “This combines the power of Tesla, Hertz, and Uber to help accelerate the transition to zero-emissions mobility. We look forward to seeing more EVs on the road right away.”

Winnie’s birthday is a party to remember at Charlotte’s Freedom Farm
Article content
Charlotte’s Freedom Farm has plenty of lovable animals, but it was Winnie’s day to shine on Saturday.

A large crowd came out to celebrate the pup’s first birthday and enjoy his special super hero-themed party.
The dog, who was born with deformities after some parts of his body didn’t develop properly in the womb, enjoyed a day full of fun – and a few presents – with his well-wishers.
“Winnie’s awesome,” 11-year-old Scarlett Pennie said about how the dog has overcome his challenges.
While Winnie’s front legs are deformed and he’s missing most of his sternum, these disabilities don’t stop him from getting around and living life to the fullest at the rescue farm.
Winnie has a custom wheelchair and a nub cover for one of his front legs, so he can run around and play with all of his friends at the farm. His enthusiasm has helped the pup gain worldwide attention online, including more than 20,000 followers on Instagram at @winnie_the_roo_ and more than one-million views on a featured video on The Dodo, a popular animal rescue-focused YouTube channel.
Scarlett, who was enjoying the party with her sister and cousins, was also impressed with Charlotte’s Freedom Farm.
“It’s an amazing place and it’s nice that all the animals get a new home that they can be happy in,” the Ridgetown girl said.
Scarlett’s cousin, Ella Pennie, 9, of Chatham, agreed.
“It’s an amazing place for animals to go if they don’t have a good home or they get hurt,” she said.
A big fan of animals, especially dogs and cats, Ella said was also amazed by “how friendly the animals are.”

Lauren Edwards, who runs Charlotte’s Freedom Farm, said the facility is doing well after a fire destroyed its barn in July 2020. A former employee at the farm, Christine Rettig, is facing an arson charge in connection to the blaze that killed six animals.
“We’ve rebuilt the barn and things are going well,” Edwards said. “We’re getting back to normal slowly.”
Noting they have fenced virtually every inch of the property, Edwards said the rescue farm has “taken in more animals.”
“We’ve grown the volunteer program,” she said. “We’re doing more tours now.”
She added the farm has been focusing on special-needs animals such as Winnie.
Edwards said they have done a good job letting people know about the animals on social media. She added it was great to see people visit the farm and recognize Winnie and their other animals.
Now that COVID-19 restrictions have lifted, she said there are events on Wednesdays and most weekends Wednesday, including their popular goat yoga.
“We just released the June and July schedules, and there are tons of opportunities for people to come out,” Edwards said. | https://www.chathamdailynews.ca/news/local-news/winnies-birthday-a-party-to-remember-at-charlottes-freedom-farm | 2022-05-16T18:52:05Z | https://www.chathamdailynews.ca/news/local-news/winnies-birthday-a-party-to-remember-at-charlottes-freedom-farm | true | 1 |
Black people going about their daily lives — then dying in a hail of bullets fired by a white man who targeted them because of their skin color.
Substitute a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, with a church in South Carolina,and Malcolm Graham knows the pain and grief the families of those killed Saturday are feeling. He knows their dismay that racial bigotry has torn apart the fabric of their families.
“America’s Achilles’ heel continues to be … racism,” said Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Graham-Hurd, was among nine parishioners fatally shot by avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof in 2015 during Bible study in Charleston.
“As a country, we need to acknowledge that it exists,” Graham said. “There’s a lack of acknowledgment that these problems are persistent, are embedded into systems and cost lives.”
For many Black Americans, the Buffalo shooting has stirred up the same feelings they faced after Charleston and other attacks: the fear, the vulnerability, the worry that nothing will be done politically or otherwise to prevent the next act of targeted racial violence.
Law enforcement officials said suspected gunman Payton Gendron, 18, drove 200 miles from his hometown of Conklin, New York, to Buffalo after searching out and specifically targeting a predominantly Black neighborhood.
He shot 11 Black people and two white people at the grocery store, authorities said. Ten people died.
A 180-page document, purportedly written by Gendron, gives plans for the attack and makes references to other racist shootings and to Roof. The document also outlines a racist ideology rooted in a belief that the U.S. should belong only to white people. All others, the document said, were “replacers” who should be eliminated by force or terror. The attack was intended to intimidate all non-white, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country, it said.
The idea that those killed at the Tops Friendly Market lost their lives because of the shooter’s racism is “sick,” said Steve Carlson, 29, who is Black and grew up knowing Katherine Massey, one of the victims.
“It’s not right. You don’t pick what ethnicity you’re born to,” Carlson said. “These people were just shopping, they went to go get food for their families.”
At State Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, Deacon Heyward Patterson was mourned during services Sunday. Pastor Russell Bell couldn’t wrap his mind around the attack and Patterson’s death.
“I don’t understand what that is, to hate people just because of their color, to hate people because we’re different. God made us all different. That’s what makes the world go ’round,” he said.
But as abhorrent as the shooting was, it was hardly an isolated incident. The history of the United States is filled with white supremacist violence, starting from even before its official origins.
Black people have borne and continue to bear the brunt of much of it, but other groups have also been targeted in attacks because of their race, including Latinos in the 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, where 22 people were killed.
Gunmen with biases against religion and sexual orientation have also carried out targeted violence: the shootings at a San Diego synagoguein 2019and a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016.
Democratic Florida state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, who is gay and of Peruvian descent, immediately had flashbacks to the Pulse nightclub shooting that left 49 victims dead. The shooter targeted gay patrons in what was a largely Latino crowd.
“It’s déjà vu all over again in Orlando,” said Smith, who represents an Orlando district. “2016 seems like a long time ago, but in 2022 there’s a lot more hatred and bigotry out there.”
Experiencing violence of any kind is obviously traumatic, but the impact of targeted violence like this has ripples on a broader level.
“To be targeted for these things that you cannot control, it’s not only extremely painful emotionally, but it also impacts the way you perceive the world going forward after that,” said Michael Edison Hayden, spokesperson for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which advocates for civil rights.
Hate crime laws are on the books in recognition of that reality. The effect of events like these is “you’ve increased the vulnerability of everyone who looks like the target,” said Jeannine Bell, a professor at Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. “This is a different type of crime because it impacts not just the victims, but also the community.”
While there’s always hand-wringing and dismay after incidents like these, that hasn’t translated into a commitment to address the bigotry that underlies them, said Cornell Williams Brooks, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and former president and CEO of the NAACP.
He’s weary of political leaders’ promises to do more about white supremacist threats and gun violence.
“Count the number of sympathy cards and flowers, prayers and thoughts that have been extended to the victims of mass shootings, to the victims of racialized violence,” he said. “Do we really need (politicians) showing up to our places of worship to help bury our folks and do nothing to stop the carnage?”

Announcement underscores GenScript's mission to support full non-viral cell therapy development into IND-enabling and clinical stages
PISCATAWAY, N.J., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GenScript USA Inc., the world's leading life-science research tools and services provider, announced the availability of new GMP-grade GenExact™ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and GenWand™ closed-end linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) services. These services will enable next-generation gene and cell therapy R&D programs to advance to IND filing and clinical trials faster and more efficiently.
Today's announcement, made at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 25th annual meeting (booth #280), further establishes GenScript as the leading provider of non-viral homology-directed repair (HDR) template solutions for immune-cell engineering. GenScript now offers varying grades of non-viral HDR payload materials that support use cases across early discovery research, process development, and clinical studies.
CRISPR-based non-viral gene insertion methods have gained popularity among research teams with concerns about the FDA's recent draft guidance concerning the use of viruses for gene and cell therapy. Non-viral HDR templates, in combination with CRISPR technology, can accelerate cell engineering compared to traditional GMP virus-based engineering, delivering results faster than alternate techniques.
"This new investment by GenScript demonstrates our commitment to non-viral delivery technology. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners and stakeholders in academia and industry to support their cell therapy R&D programs and further development of non-viral delivery platforms and workflows," said Ray Chen, PhD, president of GenScript USA Life Science Group. "We know this technology will be a more efficient and safer solution for cell engineering."
New services designed to support both INDs and Phase 1 clinical trials
GenScript's GMP ssDNA And dsDNA services enable faster CAR-T drug development:
- GenExact™ ssDNA up to 5000nt in length, 100mg/batch production scale
- GenWand™ closed-end, linear dsDNA up to 10,000nt in length, gram level/batch production scale
GenScript has been collaborating with several academic and industry partners in the development of CRISPR non-viral gene insertion. Recently, Dr. Alex Marson's lab at UCSF published a paper demonstrating how CRISPR RNP technology can both knock out endogenous T-cell receptors and integrate replacement anti-cancer receptors.
The UCSF team has been using GenScript's latest single-strand DNA to improve non-viral gene knock-in efficiency. Working in collaboration with GenScript, the team engineered modifications to the DNA payload to promote co-localization and delivery (or 'shuttle') to the nucleus.

Police: Arby’s manager in Washington peed in milkshake mix
Published: May. 16, 2022 at 12:49 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A manager at an Arby’s fast food restaurant in Washington state has been accused of urinating into a milkshake mix that might then have been served to dozens of people.
The Columbian newspaper reports police in Vancouver uncovered footage of the 29-year-old man peeing into a bag of milkshake mix as they were executing a search warrant on his phone as part of a child pornography investigation.
Court documents say the manager acknowledged urinating into the mix, but said he was “almost sure” he threw the bag away.
He told detectives that if he didn’t throw the bag away, it would have been served to customers.

A traditional also-ran in Atlantic Coast Conference baseball, Virginia Tech has reached unprecedented heights and is looking for more with one week left in the regular season.
The Hokies (36-11, 16-9 ACC) are coming off their first series win over Louisville and, at No. 3 in two polls Monday, are the highest-ranked ACC team. D1Baseball.com lists Virginia Tech as a No. 4 national seed in its latest NCAA Tournament projections.
A program that has never advanced past regionals isn’t afraid to let it be known the College World Series is the goal in coach John Szefc’s fifth season.
“We’ve been thinking that since the start,” right fielder Nick Biddison told the Roanoke (Virginia) Times after Sunday’s 6-4 win. “We know we’re a good enough group to go to Omaha. Coach Szefc is kind of pushing that. He’s like, ‘We’re a good enough team to play deep in the postseason.’”
The Hokies’ baseball history is modest. They made four NCAA Tournament appearances from 1994-2000 but only two since, in 2010 and 2013. They haven’t won even a share of a conference title since 2002 (Big East). Since they began playing baseball in the ACC in 2005, the Hokies have finished sixth or seventh in their division 10 times and never higher than third.
Outfielders Jack Hurley, Gavin Cross and Biddison and shortstop Tanner Schobel returned from last year’s team, which was 27-25 and 16-20 in the ACC. All four have batting averages of .335 or higher and have combined for 44 of the Hokies’ 88 homers.
Graduate transfer Eduardo Malinowski has hit 10 homers, matching his total in four seasons at Penn, and his three errors are tied for fewest among second basemen with more than 150 chances.
Sophomore Griffin Green (7-2, 3.78 ERA) has held down the No. 1 starter’s job and freshman Drue Hackenberg (9-1, 2.54) leads the ACC in wins as the No. 2. Closer Kiernan Higgins (3-0, 2.22 ERA, 4 saves), who pitched at Division II Shippensburg last season, has allowed six earned runs in his 16 appearances and none over his last seven innings.
The Hokies, picked sixth in the Coastal Division in the preseason, have won 26 of 31 and are 11-5 against teams in the D1Baseball Top 25 over that span. The Saturday and Sunday wins over Louisville came after the Hokies allowed six runs over the last two innings in an 8-1 loss Friday.
“That’s like a mental test,” Szefc said. “The fact that we were able to come back off of that and kind of do what we did, I think hopefully it speaks a lot to the guys in our dugout and our coaching staff.”
Virginia Tech closes the regular season against last-place Duke at home this weekend and is still alive in the Coastal Division. First-place Miami (37-14, 18-9) finishes against Atlantic Division-leading Notre Dame at home.
IN THE POLLS
D1Baseball.com, Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball newspaper agree on the top three — Tennessee (45-7), Oregon State (40-11) and Virginia Tech. Tennessee took two of three from Georgia at home and Oregon State lost two of three at Arizona.
RED RAIDERS RISING
Texas Tech had its best weekend of the season, posting a road sweep of Oklahoma State in a matchup of top-10 teams and positioning itself to win or share the Big 12 regular-season title for the fourth time since 2016.
First-place TCU (32-18) finished conference play 16-8. Texas Tech (35-16) is 14-7 in the Big 12 and would win the championship outright with a sweep of Oklahoma at home.
REBELS ON RADAR AGAIN
Mississippi (31-19) has won seven straight games following its first three-game road sweep of LSU and has surged into contention for an NCAA regional bid. The Rebels had started SEC play 4-12 and now are 13-14.
PAC-12 IN PLAY
Oregon State’s series loss to Arizona leaves four teams in contention to win or share the Pac-12 title. Second-place Stanford (33-14, 18-9) hosts last-place Southern California this week and is one game behind the Oregon State (40-11, 19-8).
Third-place UCLA (33-18, 17-10), two games behind, visits Oregon State in control of its destiny. Defending champion (35-18, 16-11) and fourth-place Arizona is three games out entering its series at Oregon.
BIG TEN BATTLE
Maryland (41-10) and Rutgers (39-12) go into the final week tied for first at 16-5 in the Big Ten with Iowa (30-17) and Illinois (28-20) each two games behind at 14-7.
The Terrapins visit eighth-place Purdue and the Scarlet Knights go to sixth-place Michigan. Iowa hosts Indiana, which is tied for sixth, and Illinois goes to fifth-place Penn State.

Abstract
Traffic state estimation plays a fundamental role in traffic control and management. In the connected vehicles (CVs) environment, more traffic-related data perceived and interacted by CVs can be used to estimate traffic state. However, when there is a low penetration rate of CVs, the data collected from CVs would be inadequate. Meanwhile, the representativeness of the collected data is positively correlated with the penetration rate. This article presents a traffic state estimation method based on a deep learning algorithm under a low and dynamic CVs penetration rate environment. Specifically, we design a K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) data filling model integrating acceleration data to solve the problem of insufficient data. This method can fuse the time feature of speed by acceleration modification and mine the distribution features of speed by KNN. In addition, to reduce the estimation error caused by penetration rate, we design a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, which uses penetration rate estimated by Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) as one of the input factors. Finally, we use the concept of operational efficiency for reference, dividing traffic state into three categories according to the estimated speed: free flow, optimal flow, and congestion. SUMO is used to simulate traffic cases under different penetration rates to evaluate our scheme. The results suggest that our data filling model can significantly improve filling accuracy under a low penetration rate; there is also a better performance of our estimation model than that of other comparison models in both low and dynamic penetration rates.

Across the political spectrum, lawmakers agree that paying for health care is a major concern. Health care is a $4 trillion dollar industry in the United States, and we spend more per capita than any other country in the world. With Americans’ collective medical debt at $195 billion and 64% of Americans reporting that they have avoided or delayed care out of fear of the cost, policymakers must look at new solutions.
Unlike with most other goods and services, health care is most commonly paid for by a third party—the insurer—instead of directly from patient to provider. This disconnect has resulted in fewer patients shopping around for the best price and quality of services.
Medical billing and pricing are complicated, as each patient has a unique set of circumstances. However, federal law requires hospitals to publish their chargemasters—the list of the services they provide and the cash price. But many hospitals have still figured out ways to overcharge.
For example, a 2021 leak revealed how Scripps Memorial Hospital in Southern California used software to impose automatic price markups ranging from 575% to 675% on supplies and services. Screenshots of the hospital’s software exposed how items like anti-microbial solution were marked up from $73.50 to $496.13 for patients.
Similar stories are common, and Americans are now demanding more transparency in health care prices. In addition to the federal requirement to publish chargemasters, Former President Donald Trump began requiring hospitals to publish their prices in a consumer friendly format or face financial penalties. This included their in-network provider rates for covered items and services, out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for certain items and services. President Biden has doubled down on these requirements by increasing the financial penalties for noncompliance.
Unfortunately, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced they would delay enforcement of the rule until July 1, 2022. As a result, hospitals are in no rush to comply. According to a study by Patient Rights Advocate, only 5.6% of hospitals were in full compliance last summer. The same study found “hospitals routinely refuse to post their prices by insurance payer as required. They hide pricing information from consumers and search engines. And they violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the law by posting largelymeaningless cost estimates in lieu of real prices.”
The low rate of compliance and failure of CMS to enforce the rule has led states to take action. Virginia recently joined Massachusetts, Alaska and Minnesota in requiring hospital price transparency. In these states, providers and payers must disclose their prices to consumers, and Colorado is poised to follow suit.
Codifying the requirements in state law gives states the power to enforce transparency requirements even if the federal government refuses to do so. State penalties for noncompliance can be harsher than those under federal rules. For instance, Colorado’s HB 1285, which recently passed the House and Senate, prohibits a hospital or other person or entity from collecting on debt incurred by the patient if the hospital was not in material compliance with federal hospital price transparency laws at the time of service.
Health care price transparency has broad bipartisan support. Transparency measures passed unanimously in the Virginia General Assembly—a rare feat in Richmond—and Colorado’s legislation has sponsors from both political parties in the House and Senate. Policymakers on both sides of the aisle recognize that empowering patients with pricing information allows them to make better decisions about where to obtain care, plan for deductibles, negotiate the costs for services or take advantage of alternative programs like health care sharing ministries.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit announced the cover stars of its highly anticipated 2022 issue on Monday, sharing images of the four featured women —Kim Kardashian, Ciara, Maye Musk and Yumi Nu.
The models run the gamut when it comes to who is represented in the magazine as it has expanded to include women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds. In fact, at 74 years old, Musk is the oldest person to be featured in the magazine’s history, while Nu is the first curve model of Asian descent to be featured on the cover. For all four of the women, the cover spot represents a pivotal moment in each of their careers — even for Kardashian who is “arguably the most famous, most heavily dissected, most photographed, most covered woman on Earth,” according to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day.
“I vividly remember Tyra Banks on the cover and women with curves. I remember just thinking that was so cool, that was so cool. But I still didn’t think that I would have … I thought that you had to be a professional model and a runway model,” Kardashian told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “And it’s always really young girls. I don’t want to date myself or sound old, but like in my 40s? That’s crazy. I never thought in a million years that I would be shooting one myself.”
Ciara shared a similar sentiment.
“I’ve always dreamt of being on this cover, ever since I was really young and especially as an entertainer, it’s always been pretty significant in the entertainment space,” the “Level Up” singer said. “So it’s a dream come true for me, and it was a special day when I got the call.”
While later in her modeling career, Musk also expressed gratitude over this milestone.
“If I thought I could be a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated, people would’ve locked me away as a crazy lady. And now here I am,” she said while on set with the publication. “I’m very excited to let people know that women in their 70s are gorgeous.”
At just 25 years old, Nu’s inclusion on the cover provides unprecedented representation for young Japanese-American women struggling with their identity and body image. “I feel like I’m being the person that I needed when I was growing up,” she tells Yahoo Life. “And I think that alone is a very fulfilling feeling.”
The point of including such a variety of women on the four covers, Day explains, is to shatter all limitations that are placed on women throughout the many phases of their lives and to see them as multidimensional.
“It’s about being more than just the image, it’s about the person as a whole. Our brand is more than just a printed product. It is an essence, it is a mission. It is a voice, it has many voices, it has many voices united, it has many voices supporting one another, it is many voices coming together to uplift each other’s personal hopes and dreams and goals and platforms,” she tells Yahoo Life. “I’m looking to the future for the brand, I’m looking in the future for the individuals that we talk about and that we platform here and that we have conversations around. I’m looking for how those conversations can affect the person on the street, that is going to our website or picking up the print product, or just hearing about what we’re doing. And makes them pause and makes them reevaluate perhaps how they look at someone else or themselves.”
Day calls it a “360-degree approach to empowering women,” and revels in the fact that the 2022 issue is the first to launch with the Pay With Change initiative. The publication’s new advertising mandate makes it so brands can only advertise within its pages if operating under the mission to drive gender equality. Through this initiative, SI Swim has been able to partner with brands like Frida Mom for new opportunities to represent the beauty of motherhood in different ways.
“This amazing initiative just really rounds out the brand, where we are delivering on our mission in every single facet and capacity that we can. There’s nowhere where we’re not doing the work anymore. And I am just so proud of that,” Day says. “I don’t know how many brands, especially of the magnitude that we exist, are able to really authentically say that, and it’s awesome.”
For Day, it also represents a shift in the brand’s reputation that she has been working to cement for nearly a decade, explaining that the content that was once “aspirational” can now be seen as more reflective of women at all phases in their lives. With the inclusion of Musk, in particular, Day hopes that the issue will “liberate so many women about how they see their future.”
And while she recognizes the many ways in which she continues to push the boundaries by highlighting plus-size women, older women, trans women, athletic women, ambitious women and mothers through her work, Day hopes that society will let her do so.
“We are all unique individuals. Let us get there, let us evolve, let us learn, let us be better, let us be more,” she says. “Just let us.”

WEDDINGS are meant to be memorable occasions in which friends and family celebrate the love between two people.
All brides want their weddings to stand out, but it’s difficult to come up with something creative that won’t break the bank.
A bride named Amy Seder Burkley, who goes by @amyseder on TikTok, received over 600k views on a video in which she shared a décor detail that made her special night one for the books.
“One of the biggest crowd pleasers from my wedding was a total surprise.
“This was a pretty inexpensive add-on, and everybody loved it.”
Amy held up gold, cursive name tags that looked both whimsical and charming.
“It was these laser cut name tags.”
She revealed that the name plates were waiting for each guest at their designated spot on the dinner table.
“When everyone sat down at their seat at the table for dinner, this was on their plate as their little name plate.
“And let me tell you, every single person took a photo of these specifically. And then they got to take them home.”
Most read in Fabulous
Amy rated this add-on a 10 out of 10, and recommended all brides head to Etsy to purchase them for their big night.
The best part? They cost about $1 each on Etsy, so you won’t need to allocate much of your budget to the adorable finishing touch.
In the comments section, she added that her guests couldn’t wait to show them off in their homes.
“I was going around telling everyone to take them home and half my friends were like ‘It’s already in my purse.’”

MADISON, Wis., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DeSo Blockchain announces the launch of OpenProsper, The First Social Block Explorer for their decentralized social blockchain. The OpenProsper dashboard provides a look into the important activity on the DeSo Blockchain, allowing users to analyze relevant blockchain information such as total creator earnings, total wallets on DeSo, and transaction fees per post.
OpenProsper is filling the role as the go-to analytics platform in the decentralized social media ecosystem. Created by Fintech and McKinsey alum Salil Sethi, OpenProsper is a block explorer app built on top of DeSo Blockchain, similar to what Etherscan is to Ethereum.
Founder Salil Sethi explains, "OpenProsper is primarily for creators on DeSo. It helps creators understand relationships, money-native blockchain experiences, and content strategy to be successful on DeSo. How we work has changed forever and the creator economy is only going to get bigger over time."
As content creators post on social media platforms, storage needs to increase over time. Thus, OpenProsper provides creators with a data dashboard they can use to optimize their content and messaging.
DeSo is the only blockchain designed to scale decentralized social media apps to 1B+ users with low transaction costs and a growing ecosystem of infinite-state applications (which are apps that need storage to scale with content growth). For example, the transaction fee per post on $DESO is $0.00003 and the cost of storing one Gigabyte of on-chain state is only $80. Compare this to storing one Gigabyte on Ethereum which costs $393,750,000 making the Ethereum chain costly to build and scale decentralized social media apps.
Additionally, DeSo recently pushed their revolutionary upgrade Hypersync live which lowers blockchain syncing time to just 20 minutes.
"I do think there's an opportunity for Twitter to essentially embrace using a decentralized protocol. And just in the way you've probably heard of DeFi which is decentralized finance, there's another one called DeSo, Decentralized Social Media which is another emerging area." Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase explained at the Milken Institute crypto pioneers event.
With Elon Musk finalizing his Twitter acquisition many are expecting a stark rise of decentralized social media apps.
The next big app set to launch on DeSo is DAODAO, which makes launching a DAO and fundraising as easy as creating a social media account.

Bus drivers demanding 10% pay hike strike in Iranian capital
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Bus drivers in Tehran on Monday went on strike on two major bus lines to demand a 10% wage increase, causing hours of delays in public transportation in the Iranian capital, media reported.
The semiofficial Mehr news agency said Mayor Ali Reza Zakani appeared with the drivers and promised to address their problems.
The Sharq daily said the strike on two major north-south routes led to the disruption of traffic in many bus stations in the city. Witnesses said many of the bus passengers resorted to the subway, leading to overcrowding at some stations. Tehran has dozens of major bus lines.
A video circulating on social media showed striking drivers shouting demands for the mayor's resignation and calling for a 10% raise in wages.
The semiofficial ISNA news agency said police sent hundreds of its buses and drivers to transfer people free of charge.
Security was tight in major junctions in Tehran starting Monday morning.
Last week, authorities detained a member of the drivers syndicate. In recent months teachers have waged protest rallies demanding higher wages, too. | https://news.yahoo.com/bus-drivers-demanding-10-pay-182700723.html | 2022-05-16T19:27:24Z | https://news.yahoo.com/bus-drivers-demanding-10-pay-182700723.html | false | 10 |
Defense attorneys for the man charged with Saturday's mass killing at a Buffalo grocery store have withdrawn a request to have doctors review his mental competency, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said today.
The move means a felony hearing in Buffalo City Court in the state case against Payton S. Gendron may proceed as scheduled Thursday morning. The hearing could not have been held unless the experts' examinations had been completed by then.
Here's what we know about events leading up to the shooting.
At the arraignment in Buffalo City Court on Saturday, defense attorney Brian Parker asked a judge to order a forensic examination of Gendron, accused of the hate-fueled killing of 10 people and wounding of three in a mass shooting at the Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue.
Support Local Journalism
Parker could not immediately be reached for comment early Monday afternoon.
Gendron has been charged with first-degree murder under state law. Federal authorities say they are investigating the incident "both as a hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism."
People are also reading…
Thursday's scheduled hearing still may not, in fact, take place. The defense has the right to waive the hearing.
In chilling detail, the accused shooter laid out in a 180-page manifesto why he wanted to kill, how he came to believe a racist conspiracy theory and then recorded himself driving to a supermarket on Jefferson Avenue and carrying out the attack.
Gendron, of Broome County, posted online a 180-page manifesto detailing why he perpetrated the attack and how he came to believe a racist conspiracy theory.
Gendron is white and 11 of the 13 people who were shot Saturday were Black.

Stanbic Bank Ghana and the Ashanti Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), operators of Opemsuo 104. 7 Radio in Kumasi, on Friday May 13 crowned Ms Comfort Boakye as new champion of the annual Twi spelling competition.
Four finalists: Kwaku Duah, Agyenim Boateng, Ofori Amoako and Comfort Boakye battled out their authority on the Asante-Twi language at the Racecourse market when they were given words, phrases and axioms to spell using Twi alphabets, consonants, vowels, and diagraphs.
Branch Manager for Stanbic Bank, Adum, Mr. Frank Osei Owusu noted the significance of keeping our culture alive and why Stanbic invests in creative initiatives and edutainment programs such as this.
“Standard Bank as a brand is well cast in a traditional African setting and appreciates the social codes and practices that characterise Africans; that is why we keep shaping the cultural calendar of the continent we call home, and aggressively driving its growth.
“Maintaining native language does not only benefit personal social spheres, but also, personal career opportunities, and thereby the economy at large. Those who are losing native language fluency due to English assimilation are missing out on the cognitive and academic benefits of bilingualism”, he said.
“We also deem it a responsibility as a bank to support access to inclusive, quality education (formal and informal), the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities, and help Ghanaians harness the opportunities of the fourth industrial revolution.
Stanbic Bank will continue to promote financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, and the unique culture of our beautiful country and ultimately help drive her growth”, Mr Osei Owusu added.
In Ghana, a significant proportion of children enter school not speaking the language of the classroom, as our education system favours using national or ‘global’ language instead of mother-tongue teaching. Education is often carried out in the old colonial language, or an international language – English.
After three (3) rounds of a fierce contest, Ms Comfort Boakye from Asuofua was adjudged winner of the Twi spelling competition and took home a 32-inch Television, radio set, a cash prize, funded Stanbic account and branded souvenirs, all provided by Stanbic Bank.
“I am very grateful to Opemsuo radio and their key Sponsor, Stanbic Bank. As an individual, knowing and being able to read and spell in my mother tongue is a matter of pride. It boosts my confidence and creates awareness in the mind while also helping me connect with my cultural identity in a better manner. Thank you for the opportunity to keep learning”, said Ms Boakye.
First and second runners up, Agyenim Boateng and Ofori Amoako also received brand new home theatre set, radio sets, mobile phone, funded Stanbic account and branded Stanbic items respectively.
Chief Executive of Opemsuo Radio, Mr Emmanuel Sarfo who presented the prizes to the winners congratulated them for their resilience and enthusiasm to stay true to their culture, in a world where the growing age of digital and internet, particularly the use of social media, is fast propelling acculturations.
“Our local languages are shrinking in usage as people, which should be of concern because it is largely the cause of the declining pockets of cultures on verge of extinction.
We at Opemsuo believe that the degree of proficiency in one’s heritage language is intrinsically connected to self-identity. That is why culture focused programmes dominate our radio content, one of them being the Twi spelling competition which was gracefully powered by Stanbic Bank Ghana”, he noted.
Traders at the Racecourse market who tested their Twi spelling prowess before the actual contest, praised the organisers for their commitment to promote the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity.
“If culture was a house, then language was the key to the front door, to all the rooms inside. That’s why I am particularly excited about this initiative to promote the use of Twi consonants and vowels in our daily discourses. We as market women will also do our part by quoting the prices of our wares in Twi and pass on this heritage to the younger generation”, Maame Kyeiwaa, Queen mother of the Racecourse market, intimated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Between 43 and 97% of helicopter pilots in the Canadian Armed Forces report neck pain. Potential contributing factors include the weight of their helmet, night vision goggles (NVG), and counterweight (CW) combined with deviated neck postures. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to quantify changes in neck loads associated with posture, helmet, NVG, and CW.METHODS: Eight male subjects volunteered. They undertook one of five deviated neck postures (flexion, extension, lateral bending, axial rotation) times four configurations (no helmet, helmet only, helmet and NVG, and helmet, NVG, and CW). 3D kinematics and EMG from 10 muscles (5 bilaterally) drove a 3D inverse dynamics, EMG-driven model of the cervical spine which calculated joint compression and shear at C5-C6.RESULTS: The compression in the neutral posture was 116.5 (5.7) N, which increased to 143.7 (11.4) N due to a 12.7 N helmet. NVGs, weighing 7.9 N, also generated this disproportionate increase, where the compression was 164.2 (3.7) N. In flexion or extension, the compression increased with increasing head-supported mass, with a maximum of 315.8 (67.5) N with the CW in flexion. Anteroposterior shear was highest in the lateral bending [34.0 (6.2) N] condition, but was generally low (< 30 N). Mediolateral shear was less than 5 N for all conditions.DISCUSSION: Repositioning the center of gravity of the helmet with either NVGs or CW resulted in posture-specific changes to loading. Posture demonstrated a greater potential to reposition the head segment's center of gravity compared to the helmet design. Therefore, helmet designs which consider repositioning the center of gravity may reduce loads in one posture, but likely exacerbate loading in other postures.Barrett JM, McKinnon CD, Dickerson CR, Laing AC, Callaghan JP.

Indigenous Canadians make a painful plea on eve of British royal visit
While acknowledging there were a lot of people in her community who didn't actively support the monarchy, Housty conceded that many had been excited when Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate visited her area in 2016. That excitement is on display once again this week, said St. John's Mayor Danny Breen, who told Reuters that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is looking forward to the arrival of Charles and Camilla.
As Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla prepare to visit Canada this week, some members of the indigenous community are calling on the British royal family to formally acknowledge the harm colonization did to First Nations people. The royal couple will arrive in St. Johns, Newfoundland on Tuesday on a three-day trip that will include stops in Ottawa and the Northwest Territories and focus on the issues of reconciliation with indigenous peoples and climate change.
The impact of colonization, the residential school system and the loss of lands is what the crown represents, Mary Teegee, the executive director of child and family services at Carrier Sekani Family Services in the province of British Columbia, told Reuters. "They also have to understand that they are not the leaders in our nation," Teegee said, adding that recognition of the harms of colonization are needed rather than just a "trite" apology.
Although Canada ceased being a colony of Britain in 1867, it remained a member of the British Empire, with a British-appointed governor-general acting on behalf of the monarch. And it was under the guise of the crown and Canada's federal government that some 150,000 indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and enrolled in a Christian-run network of residential schools between 1831 and 1996.
That policy, described by some as a form of cultural genocide, and survivors' accounts of harsh, paramilitary-like conditions have been under the microscope since the discovery in 2021 of the remains of more than 200 children buried in unmarked areas on the grounds of one such school in B.C. CBC News on Monday quoted Cassidy Caron, the president of the Métis National Council, an indigenous group, as saying Queen Elizabeth should apologize to the residential school survivors.
Caron said she plans to deliver that message when she meets Charles, the heir to the British throne, and Camilla during their visit, which is part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations marking the queen's seven decades on the throne. 'DISTANT ALIEN THING'
Jess Housty, a community organizer for the Heiltsuk Nation in B.C., said that while she doesn't care about the visit, it's hard to ignore the colonial past and the "bad relations that have happened for centuries." The monarchy is "this distant alien thing that feels really irrelevant in my life and work," Housty said.
An opinion poll https://angusreid.org/canada-constitutional-monarchy-queen-elizabeth released by the Angus Reid research group in April shows support among Canadians to abolish the country's constitutional monarchy rising, with about 51% saying it should disappear in coming generations, up from 45% in January 2020. While acknowledging there were a lot of people in her community who didn't actively support the monarchy, Housty conceded that many had been excited when Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate visited her area in 2016.
That excitement is on display once again this week, said St. John's Mayor Danny Breen, who told Reuters that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is looking forward to the arrival of Charles and Camilla. "People have respect for the queen and have respect for the family," Breen said.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas tells The Associated Press he and several former teammates are coming together in Buffalo this week to help support families of the shooting victims.
Among those players expected to make the trip are Hall of Famers defensive end Bruce Smith and receiver Andre Reed, along with Thomas and Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, who like Thomas lives in the area.
“Those guys said right away, `We’ll be here this week because that’s our city. We love it and we want to be supportive,‘” Thomas said. “They want to see what they can do and how they can help, because they were really a part of this community for a number of years and they want to continue to help.”
Thomas, who has already pledged $10,000 of support to the victims’ families from his charitable foundation, said it was too early to provide any details of the gathering.
The four Hall of Famers were key members of the Buffalo teams that won four straight AFC championships, though they lost in the Super Bowl each year.
Ten people were killed in the shooting spree.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One Kentucky town was in the spotlight over the weekend according to a press release.
HGTV chose La Grange, Kentucky as part of their “Home Town Kickstart” series. The episode premiered Sunday at 8 p.m.
The watch party claimed all 800 seats in Southeast Christian Church. Food trucks, live music and shops were open in preparation for the showing.
Three projects were highlighted in the show. Sisters Raegan and Rylyn Richins planned to paint and distribute 60 “Be Kind” signs around town, and donate the proceeds to local charities. Instead, they ended up making 3,000 signs. This is what caught HGTV’s eye according to the release.
Heather Hottenroth’s “Alley Loop” project consisted of beautifying Main Street’s alleys and connecting them into a walking loop. Alison Victoria’s idea to repurpose horse trailers into pop-up shops is a focal point of the project.
Brandi and Andrew Dunk’s home renovation was the last project. Brandi runs a home daycare for her five children and children of essential workers according to the release.

In an effort to have a permanent solution to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kano Chapter crisis, Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje who was said to have obtained the Kano Central Senatorial District form, has agreed to withdraw his ambition for Senator Barau Jibrin.
Ganduje withdraws from senatorial race, backs Barau Jibrin
There were series of meetings between Governor Ganduje and Senator Barau Jibrin with...
Reports have it that there was a series of meetings between Governor Ganduje and Senator Barau Jibrin with other top APC members in Abuja, where an agreement was said to have been reached for the Governor to forego his ambitions in order to achieve peace.
Senator Jibrin was reported to have insisted that he was not leaving APC although his gubernatorial ambition was blocked by Ganduje’s inner caucus.
However, after having a series of defections out of the party and also the fact that many actors had left the party, Ganduje agreed that some bigwigs in the party, Jibrin inclusive, should be allowed to have their ways back to Senate.
Confirming the agreement between Governor Ganduje and Barau Jibrin, the party’s state secretary, Zakari Sarina said, there is tangible understanding between the duo and soon everybody will know their position.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will meet with NFL officials in Texas, a person familiar with the plans told The Associated Press on Monday.
Watson, who is facing 22 civil lawsuits from massage therapists accusing him of sexual misconduct, is scheduled to meet with the league representatives this week, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Watson could be disciplined by the league, which is independently investigating whether the 26-year-old violated its personal-conduct policy. Commissioner Roger Goodell said on April 28 that there was no timeframe on any possible ruling on Watson.
Reporter Josina Anderson was first to report the league-Watson meeting on Twitter.
“We have no update and will decline comment on that tweet,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email to AP. “There’s no timetable as the review is active and ongoing.”
Watson signed a fully guaranteed $230 million contract in March with the Browns, who outbid several teams and have committed to the three-time Pro Bowl QB despite his ongoing legal situation. Two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson on criminal charges filed by the women, but the civil cases remain open.
Watson has given depositions on several of them, and to this point he has not missed any of Cleveland’s offseason programs. Watson has denied assaulting the women, saying any sex was consensual.
As his future with the Browns remains uncertain, Watson’s treating some of his new teammates to a weekend in the Bahamas to do some bonding and field work. It’s not yet known which players will be making the upcoming trip with Watson.
Last month, cornerback Denzel Ward said Watson and All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett were planning trips for the Browns’ offense and defense.

The National Park Service will consider a proposal that would create new driving regulations for the Fire Island National Seashore.
The plan would grant unlimited permits to full-time Fire Island residents who want to drive on the island, but only one vehicle would be allowed per household. The current regulations cap the number of permits for full-timers at 145, and don’t allow any residents to drive during the summer.
When the National Seashore was created, it was mandated Fire Island be roadless to keep the landscape pristine.
“It’s a jewel. It’s a roadless island with an amazing natural beauty,” said Suzy Goldhirsh, president of the Fire Island Association.
She said the current waitlist for driving permits is long. But, the general consensus from residents is that they want a balance — allow for some more cars, but not an unlimited amount.
“To inundate it with more cars, more trucks, more vehicles because people want permits and want to drive… I don’t think it’s the right balance,” Goldhirsh said.
The proposal would also allow full-time residents only two roundtrips through the east or west gate a day. The park service said this will be more effective than limiting permits.
A decision is expected late 2023 or early 2024.

Foster Explains Exit from Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins' recent history is filled with surprising, sometimes shocking, developments and one of those chapters belonged to Arian Foster.
Now, a little less than six years after the fact, Foster is shedding some light on his sudden retirement after only four games with the Dolphins during the 2016 season.
Foster explained on a recent appearance on the "I Am Athlete Tonight" podcast on SiriusXM Radio that it was advice from his father Carl, who had played wide receiver at the University of New Mexico, that led him to abruptly walk away from the Dolphins.
"When I was a kid, I asked my dad, 'How did you know when you didn't want to play anymore, you wanted to walk away,' " Foster said. "And he told me one time and I'll never forget. He said, 'You'll know.' And we were playing, I believe the Browns or the Steelers, and I was battling some small nicks and injuries and stuff, and I was standing on the sidelines.
"It was right before we went into halftime, and it's just a vivid thought that at the time I was reading this book by Brian Greene, who's a physicist. And I was really into the book. And I remember thinking, I was looking up at the stands and I thought vividly, I was like, I do not give a sh*t who wins this game, like, I don't care at all. I want to go home and I want to read my book. I want to finish reading my book. I would rather do that right now. That's the thought that ran through my mind. Once that thought crossed my mind. I was like, it's time to leave."
After signing Foster that July, the Dolphins made him the starter, but he gained only 47 rushing yards on 16 carries in the first two games before he missed the next three with an injury.
The one big play he produced for the Dolphins was a 50-yard reception after a short Ryan Tannehill pass, though that drive ended with him stuffed for no gain on fourth-and-1 from the Seattle 17.
By the time Foster returned from his injury in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jay Ajayi had established himself as the starter and Ajayi rushed for 204 yards that day in a 30-25 victory.

For the record, Foster's last game with the Dolphins came the following week, Oct. 23, against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins won that game 28-25 with Ajayi again topping 200 rushing yards. Foster had three carries for 5 yards.
He retired two days later.
"So we finished the game, the next day, I went to Coach (Adam) Gase's office, and I told him exactly how I felt. I said, 'Listen, I don't want to waste your time and I don't want you to waste my time. I don't play a position where it's like you can haphazardly kind of just, you know, fake the funk. Like I could get hurt or somebody else could get hurt, right? He's like, 'Take a couple of days. I appreciate you talking to me about it. Take a couple days and you come back, if you still feel like that, we'll rock with you. I did. I took a couple days. I got on one of those boats on a little river thing. I enjoyed my two days and I came back, I was like, that was the worst thing I could have done. I'm definitely done."
And so he was.
As it turned out, the Dolphins didn't need Foster in that 2016 season. Ajayi ended up rushing for more than 1,200 yards and the Dolphins finished with a 10-6 record and a wild-card berth in the AFC playoffs that stands as their last one as they prepare for the 2022 season.
Foster Not the First ... Or the Last
Foster was the latest in a line of Pro Bowl players who joined the Dolphins, only to see their career end abruptly.
The last was guard Josh Sitton, who sustained a serious shoulder injury in the 2018 opener and never played again.
There was running back Thurman Thomas, who joined the Dolphins in 2000 after all his great years in Buffalo and was contributing as a pass-catching running back until a knee injury ended his season — and ultimately his career.
Other Pro Bowl players who finished off their career with one season in Miami include QB Jay Cutler, WR Cris Carter and LB Lawrence Timmons, among others. | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/former-miami-dolphins-running-back-arian-foster-explains-his-sudden-retirement | 2022-05-16T19:54:42Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/former-miami-dolphins-running-back-arian-foster-explains-his-sudden-retirement | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeff Bezos this weekend became the latest centibillionaire to launch a political fight on Twitter by denouncing a tweet from President Joe Biden about corporate taxes as “disinformation” and "misdirection."
The White House quickly retorted Monday that Bezos “opposes an economic agenda for the middle class.” And then Bezos fired back, arguing that the Biden administration would have made inflation worse if its $3.5 trillion economic and social spending bill, known as “Build Back Better,” had made it into law.
“They failed, but if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today, and inflation today is at a 40 year high,” Bezos tweeted.
The dispute marks an unusually high-profile one for Bezos, who has generally sought to avoid political fights in public. Bezos is the second-wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of $150 billion, behind Elon Musk, whose wealth has reached $268 billion. Musk, the Tesla founder who is seeking to purchase Twitter, has frequently used the social media platform to attack his perceived critics and to pick fights about free speech.
The spat began on Friday, when Biden's account tweeted: “You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.”
Biden has often accused Amazon, the ecommerce giant that Bezos founded and led for nearly a quarter-century, of failing to pay its fair share in taxes. In 2017 and 2018, Amazon paid no income tax despite earning billions in profits. Since then, the company has made modest tax payments.
“Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss," Bezos tweeted in response. "Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.”
On the actual policy question — whether raising corporate income taxes would in fact restrain inflation — most economists give Biden the edge, with a caveat.
“The idea would be that raising the corporate tax would reduce corporate spending and would reduce overall demand in the economy and put downward pressure on prices,” said Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Still, Strain and most other economists caution that it would take many months for any rate increase to have much impact, Strain said, and even then, would not reduce inflation by much.
“Of all the things I would do to rein in inflation, the corporate income tax is a long way down the list,” said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust, an asset management firm in Chicago. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Bezos-and-Biden-spar-over-corporate-taxes-and-17176714.php | 2022-05-16T19:55:19Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Bezos-and-Biden-spar-over-corporate-taxes-and-17176714.php | false | 32 |
NEW ORLEANS -- Urologists are doing their part to try to keep the opioid epidemic under control, according to three studies presented during a press briefing at the American Urological Association (AUA) annual meeting.
Among 6 million kidney stone disease-related emergency department (ED) visits, the proportion of patients receiving opioid prescriptions fell from 33% in 2012 to 16% in 2017, while non-opioid prescriptions increased from 67% to 84%, reported Rajat K. Jain, MD, of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
The odds of receiving an opioid prescription decreased significantly in 2016 and 2017 compared with 2012 (OR 0.27, P=0.01 and OR 0.12, P<0.0001, respectively), they noted, while the odds of receiving a non-opioid prescription increased (OR 2.02, P=0.03 and OR 2.63, P=0.01, respectively).
The researchers used data from the U.S. National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to identify ED visits for kidney stone disease from 2012 to 2017. These patients "are uniquely vulnerable to the overuse and abuse of opioids," Jain explained. "And the reason is kidney stone disease is both an acute problem and a chronic problem."
In fact, patients with this diagnosis at their ED visit are the most likely to leave with a prescription for opioids in the U.S., he noted, and data show that the prevalence of opioid use goes up with the number of acute episodes a patient experiences.
While opioid prescriptions peaked nationally in 2012, these rates fell 44% by 2020, a reduction coinciding with the 2016 publication of CDC guidelines on prescribing opioids for chronic pain, and the now standard practice of prescription drug monitoring programs in most states, Jain said.
In a second study, investigators led by Kara Watts, MD, at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York, randomized 90 patients undergoing ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy for kidney stones to receive either oxycodone-acetaminophen (Percocet) or the non-opioid ketorolac, and found that the non-opioid strategy was noninferior to opioid pain managment, and was associated with improved pain-reported outcomes by some metrics.
Each of the 90 patients was surveyed by telephone 1 week postoperatively to assess pain outcomes using an 11-point ordinal rating scale questionnaire. Patients in the non-opioid group had significantly lower average scores in several pain-reported outcomes, including:
- Worst pain intensity level: 5.61 with ketorolac vs 7.52 with oxycodone-acetaminophen for a difference of -1.91 (95% CI -3.26 to -0.56, P=0.006)
- Average pain intensity level: 3.34 vs 4.50, for a difference of -1.16 (95% CI -2.26 to -0.06, P=0.040)
- Average pain score: 3.20 vs 4.17, for a difference of -0.96 (95% CI -1.76 to -0.17, P=0.018)
There were also high rates of unused pills after 1 week for both regimens, pointed out Michal Segall, BS, who presented the results. "And this really does continue to suggest overprescription of pain medication and further reinforces the need to re-evaluate pain management practices."
"Opioids should be avoided after elective kidney stone surgery," he concluded. "Our study does add to the growing consensus of the urology community that it is critical to find ways to reduce opioid exposure to our patients and larger communities and this is consistent with the AUA's most recent guidelines for reducing urologic postoperative opioid prescribing."
The third study, presented by Thenappan Chandrasekar, MD, of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, evaluated a collective effort by four institutions -- Fox Chase Cancer Center, Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, and Penn State Health -- within the Pennsylvania Urologic Regional Collaborative to reduce opioid prescribing for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).
Overall, 2,061 patients underwent RALP during the course of the study. For the 12 months before protocol implementation, a median of 2.7 oxycodone 5 mg tablets were prescribed to inpatients compared with 2.2 tablets after implementation.
Upon discharge, opioid prescribing was reduced from a median of 20 tablets to a median of 0 tablets, while the percentage of patients who had no opioid use as inpatients but were still given opioids on discharge fell from 98% to 25% (P<0.001).
Despite the decrease in opioid prescriptions, there were no significant changes in pain scores, Chandrasekar reported. On average, 14 fewer opioid tablets were prescribed per RALP, leading to a total of 14,582 fewer opioid tablets in Pennsylvania over a 1-year period.
"Urologists, among other surgeons, play an important role in reducing opioid oversupply and can help combat the opioid epidemic while still providing effective pain management," Chandrasekar concluded.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — House and Senate negotiators in New Hampshire approved yet another congressional map Monday with time running out to meet both legislative and judicial deadlines.
New Hampshire is one of a few states that have yet to complete the redistricting process required every 10 years to bring districts in line with population changes. Democrats hold both U.S. seats, but Republicans hold majorities in the Legislature and thus control the redistricting process.
Lawmakers passed a plan in March that would have given the GOP an advantage in the 1st District, but Republican Gov. Chris Sununu promised to veto it. The House later passed a second plan that would clump together communities along the I-93 corridor, but the Senate rejected it, sending the matter to a committee of conference to come up with a compromise.
Under the plan approved by the committee Monday, the 1st District would cover the southeast corner of the state while the 2nd District would cover the western half of the state and the north country. Lawmakers said it would give Republicans an edge in the 1st District though not as prominently as the previous plans.
More than two dozen towns and cities would switch districts, including Manchester, the largest city and home to U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas. That would put him and Rep. Annie Kuster both in the 2nd District, though there is no requirement that members of Congress live in the districts they represent.
The only Democrat on the conference committee, Sen. Donna Soucy, of Manchester, said putting the state’s two largest cities in the same district was a disservice to rural communities. Democrats had pushed to move just one town — Hampstead — to balance the population.
“If this is truly an exercise to simply balance population, there is no need for these significant and radical changes,” she said.
The new plan also would shift Conway and about a dozen towns along the state’s eastern border from the 1st District to the 2nd. A cluster of towns near the southern border, including Hudson and Salem, would move from the 2nd District to the 1st, as would Franklin, Loudon and others in the central part of the state.
May 26 is the last day for the Legislature to act on all bills. Meanwhile, the state Supreme Court stands ready to take over should the Legislature remain at an impasse with the governor. In response to a lawsuit brought by former House Speaker Terie Norelli and others last month, the court said it will use the existing districts as a benchmark and employ a “least change” approach.
Rep. Steven Smith, R-Charlestown, objects to that approach, advocating instead for a map that reflects the present, not the 1880s.
“I think we’re supposed to try to do something that makes sense now and not hold holy a map that was done when goods were transported on rivers, horse-drawn wagons and steam trains,” he said.
Rep. Ross Berry, R-Manchester, who developed the failed I-93 corridor plan, agreed and said “compactness” shouldn’t be a major factor in drawing maps.
“You can have a district that makes sense, or you can have a district that looks good. Doing both is virtually impossible especially given that the state’s population is in no which way evenly dispersed,” he said.
But in the end, he backed the revised map.
“The redistricting process: It is ugly. It is political. No one leaves clean. I’d actually venture to say no one leaves happy,” he said. “If we get a map where we’re all ok and nobody’s happy, we’ve probably done our job.”
Sununu is still reviewing the latest proposal, his office said.

Column: I’m part of the ‘Great Replacement.’ It’s not what believers say it is
Twenty-three years ago on a hot August evening, I stood before the Anaheim Union High School District board of trustees. They were about to discuss whether to sue Mexico for $50 million and ask the country for an annual $10-million payment for educating the children of undocumented immigrants.
Children like me.
Board president Harald Martin, a native of Austria and the author of the proposal, blamed us for a supposedly degrading educational system in my hometown. He had even appeared on National Public Radio to compare Latino students to the small, furry critters from the “Star Trek” universe that once overwhelmed the Starship Enterprise.
“They were so cute and fluffy, nice little things when there were four or five of them,” Martin said. But once they numbered in the thousands, he added, “it wasn’t so nice anymore.”
He espoused what amounted to an early version of the Great Replacement, the racist theory that liberal elites are allowing nonwhite people to flood the United States to destroy the American way of life through migration and fertility. Dozens of us spoke before the Anaheim trustees, decrying Martin’s blatant racism.
As an American, I felt betrayed.
Having graduate two years earlier from Anaheim High, I was a Doc Martens-wearing, “Simpsons"-quoting nerd who expected to earn a film degree within two years at Chapman University and fully assimilate into American life by moving to south Orange County.
What else was I supposed to do? I had never considered myself anything other than 100% Made in the U.S.A. — even if my creators were a Mexican immigrant father and mother, the former of whom came in the trunk of a Chevy.
In school, we were taught that we were in the best country on Earth. That anyone could make something of themselves if only they tried hard enough. That racism mostly existed in our history textbooks.
Well, that last part, at least, was a fair amount of hooey. Here are just a few real-life examples:
There was the Sycamore Junior High science teacher who told a classroom full of us Latinos that we didn’t compare to his students from the 1970s, when the school was far more white. The counselors at Anaheim High who funneled Latino boys like me into vocational and remedial classes instead of college-credit courses. The passage of Proposition 187 in 1994, the California ballot initiative that went even farther that what the Anaheim school board considered.
I dismissed all of those as anomalies. Then Martin’s resolution was passed by his fellow board members, though the lawsuit went nowhere because the proposal was, ironically enough, illegal. The fact that it went as far as it did — well, that shattered any illusions I had of the U.S. as a color-blind, truly egalitarian society.
Racially motivated mass shootings like the one that happened this past weekend on the other side of the country in Buffalo, N.Y., just drive this point home. Again, and again, and again. In the past, in the present and undoubtedly — and unfortunately — in some not far-off future, this pattern will repeat.
Payton Gendron, 18, killed 10 people at a grocery store he targeted because it was in a Black neighborhood. He left behind a vile manifesto dripping with the poison of racism and delusion and a fragility endemic to the likes of him.
What he did was extreme, but you hear this same fragility when politicians rail about immigrants and refugees. Or when white Americans talk about how things aren’t like they used to be in some fantasyland of a time — perhaps before civil rights began to finally take hold.
The United States is indisputably becoming more diverse. Asians and Latinos are the fastest-growing groups; Black America remains a catalyst for social justice and criminal justice reform. It’s the country I’ve known my entire life and one that has allowed my family and friends to prosper, racism be damned.
Yet if you’re not white, to millions of Americans, you’re something else — definitely not “legacy Americans,” as Fox TV host Tucker Carlson says again and again during his weeknight hour of glower. Instead, they consider me and my loved ones to be invaders and usurpers — or, as Gendron’s manifesto deemed us, “replacers.” I’ve covered the racism of their ilk throughout my career, from its origins in Orange County to its festering on the fringes of neo-Nazi web chat rooms in the early 2000s to its violent eruption again and again this century to its adoption as a de facto party plank by many Republicans, including the previous president.
What especially freaks out the Carlsons and Gendrons of this country isn’t that people like me aren’t the inheritors of the American Dream — it’s that we’re its inquisitors. We want a country truly based on the pledges of equality and freedom it was founded on. For too many white Americans, this is nothing short of a declaration of war; what’s reasonable to us makes them feel like they’re losing their grasp on what they might have believed was their exclusive birthright.
I’d feel pity for white people who think that their days are numbered in this country if that thought weren’t so laughably deadly. And wrong.
Benjamin Franklin had it wrong in 1751 when he fretted that Germans in Pennsylvania whom he reviled as “Palatine boors ... will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs.” The 1911 Dillingham congressional commission got it wrong when it advocated for restricting immigration from southern and eastern Europe, arguing, “The new immigration as a class is far less intelligent than the old.”
California Republicans had it wrong in the 1990s when they backed a decade’s worth of state propositions that demonized Latinos and whispered about “reconquista,” a supposed plot by Mexico to take back the American Southwest through migration. And Martin, the Anaheim trustee from the not-so-distant past, had it wrong when he insisted the children of undocumented immigrants were destroying Anaheim schools. All these groups became part of the American fabric, whether the haters liked it or not. Why, some even became “white.”
Then you have the Tucker Carlsons of the world, with their loud, whiny megaphone, stoking the hate and the paranoia and the wrongness with their chatter of being replaced.
And then, unsurprisingly after all of that, you have your Payton Gendrons, those lonely, deluded souls who decide that the way to begin to make to things right for the oppressed white man is to commit wholesale murder.

KEARNEY — The University of Nebraska at Kearney track and field team finished the regular season with the Concordia Twilight Friday in Seward and the annual Loper Twilight Saturday at Kearney High.
The meets help individuals qualify for the natioanl meet later this month. The NCAA Division II Championships field will be announced early this week with a Top 20 ranking in any event likely good for a trip to Allendale, Mich., over Memorial Day weekend.
Sophomore Abby Everitt saw her stock rise the most, shooting up over 25 places in the high jump thanks to a season-best 5-foot, 8-inch jump Friday in Seward. She cleared 5-7 Saturday for her second win in two days and now ranks in the national top 10
Also at Concordia, junior Alex Goracke had a career-best 55-2 1/2 in the shot put to place third and make him a provisional qualifier for the first time, and freshman Mara Hemmer ran a 2 minute, 12.21 seconds in the 800 to place sixth and senior Maddie Bach won the 1,500 in 4:37.73.

Redshirt junior Andrew Schuller (hammer) and redshirt freshman Gabrielle Oborny (pole vault) broke their own school records Saturday with the Lopers winning seven events.
Facing a top field, Schuller came in sixth in the hammer “invitational,” throwing 197-5, three feet further than his previous best. It ranks him 21st in D2. Oborny also went against a top field and cleared 12-5 1/2 to finish 10th. She went 12-3 1/2 in early April and already was on the national list.
In the women’s hammer “invitational,” McCook redshirt freshman Mackenzie Smith came in fifth with a career-best 171-6. That moves into seventh place on the Loper all-time list.
In the hammer “open,” Kearney true freshman Lily Novacek competed unattached and came in second (167-5). That would rank her 10th in UNK history.
Moving up the long jump were junior Claire Cornell (19-6 1/4) and junior Haley Schall (19-1 1/2).
Also making a move on the all-time list was Ravenna sophomore Jack Drahota, who won the 400 hurdles in a provisional time of 53.19 that moves him up one spot to fifth in the record books.
Other winners Saturday were senior Justin Vrooman in the 5,000 (15:21.83), junior Luke Stuckey in the 1,500 (3:47.78), junior Baylee Alstrom in the 5,000 (18:40.55) and redshirt freshman Grace Bonsall in the 1,500 (4:47.89). | https://kearneyhub.com/sports/college/unk/nine-lopers-likely-headed-to-michigan-for-ncaa-s-schuller-oborny-break-own-records/article_e7e8cb06-d508-11ec-94ee-6b42b279829f.html | 2022-05-16T20:20:30Z | https://kearneyhub.com/sports/college/unk/nine-lopers-likely-headed-to-michigan-for-ncaa-s-schuller-oborny-break-own-records/article_e7e8cb06-d508-11ec-94ee-6b42b279829f.html | false | 1 |

Mississippi man allegedly tries to meet minor in Vidalia, Louisiana for sex, instead gets arrested
Published 1:01 pm Monday, May 16, 2022
VIDALIA, La. — The Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office Cyber Crime Unit initiated yet another arrest for computer-aided solicitation of a juvenile, this time involving a 37-year-old man from Bolton, Mississippi, located roughly 20 minutes outside of Jackson, who attempted to drive from there to Vidalia, La. to meet a child for sexual purposes.
According to a news release from CPSO, the Cyber Unit began investigating a case on May 1, where a subject, believed to be Chase Jordan, 37, initiated contact with a minor online.
He reportedly, “immediately began conversations soliciting the minor for sexually explicit photos, attempting to set up a date and time to meet.”
He additionally sent numerous lewd photos and videos of himself, continuing to make contact for two weeks. During the investigation, detectives were able to positively identify Jordan as a suspect through his social media app, the release states.
Jordan reportedly made plans to meet the child in Vidalia on Sunday. However, he was met by CPSO detectives instead of a child and was immediately taken into custody.
He has been charged with computer-aided solicitation of a minor and indecent behavior with juveniles.
Concordia Parish Sheriff David Hedrick thanked the Vidalia Police Department’s Patrol Division for their assistance in the arrest. | https://www.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/05/16/mississippi-man-allegedly-tries-to-meet-minor-in-vidalia-louisiana-for-sex-instead-gets-arrested/ | 2022-05-16T20:21:31Z | https://www.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/05/16/mississippi-man-allegedly-tries-to-meet-minor-in-vidalia-louisiana-for-sex-instead-gets-arrested/ | false | 2 |

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

Sweden ends neutrality, joins Finland in seeking NATO berth
Stockolm, May 16: Sweden's prime minister announced Monday that Sweden will join Finland in seeking NATO membership in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a historic shift that comes after more than 200 years of military nonalignment in the Nordic country.
The move, which is likely to upset the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin, came after neighbouring Finland announced Sunday that it too would seek to join the 30-country military alliance.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson called it "a historic change in our country's security policy" as she addressed lawmakers in the Swedish capital.
"We will inform NATO that we want to become a member of the alliance," she said. "Sweden needs formal security guarantees that come with membership in NATO." Andersson adding that Sweden was acting together with Finland, whose government announced on Sunday it would seek to to join the alliance.
The announcement came after a debate in the Riksdagen, or parliament, earlier Monday showed that there is a huge support for joining NATO. Out of Sweden's eight parties, only two smaller left-leaning parties opposed it.
On Sunday, the Swedish Social Democrats broke with the party's long-standing position that Sweden must remain nonaligned, paving the way for a clear majority for NATO membership in the parliament.
Public opinion in both Nordic countries was firmly against joining NATO before the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, but support for NATO membership surged quickly in both nations after that.
"The Swedish government's intent is to apply for NATO membership. A historic day for Sweden," Foreign Minister Ann Linde wrote on Twitter.
"With a broad support from political parties in the parliament, the conclusion is that Sweden will stand stronger together with allies in NATO." Once a regional military power, Sweden has avoided military alliances since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Like Finland it remained neutral throughout the Cold War, but formed closer relations with NATO after the 1991 Soviet collapse.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the governments in Finland and Sweden responded by swiftly initiating discussions across political parties about NATO membership and reaching out the U.S., Britain, Germany and other NATO countries for their support.
The Kremlin, however, has repeatedly warned the move would have destabilising consequences for security in Europe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that Moscow "does not have a problem" with Sweden or Finland as they apply for NATO membership, but that "the expansion of military infrastructure onto this territory will of course give rise to our reaction in response."
In Helsinki, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that there is "very significant" support in the Congress and that he expects swift ratification. He said he hoped a vote could be held before the August recess. In the Swedish Parliament, only the small Left and Green parties objected to seeking NATO membership.
Andersson said Sweden would refuse nuclear weapons or permanent NATO bases on its soil - similar conditions as neighbouring Norway and Denmark insisted on when the alliance was formed after World War II.
Though NATO officials have expressed hopes for a quick ratification process, all 30 current NATO members must agree to let Finland and Sweden in the door. Turkey voiced some objections last week, accusing the two countries of supporting Kurdish militants and others whom Turkey considers to be terrorists.
Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist told public broadcaster SVT that a Swedish delegation would be sent to Ankara to discuss the issue. | https://www.oneindia.com/international/sweden-ends-neutrality-joins-finland-in-seeking-nato-berth-3409071.html | 2022-05-16T20:30:22Z | https://www.oneindia.com/international/sweden-ends-neutrality-joins-finland-in-seeking-nato-berth-3409071.html | false | 22 |
