PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon remains poised to see a potentially “challenging” wildfire season this summer, despite a wet and cool spring in much of western Oregon, one of the state’s top fire watchers said Monday.
The rain and snow have helped to push back a fire season that threatened to start as early as this month, according to Mike Shaw, fire chief with the Oregon Department of Forestry. But he noted much of the precipitation on the coast and in the Willamette Valley hasn’t made it over the Cascade Mountains to central, southern and eastern Oregon, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Expanding drought conditions there have set the stage for fires to spread rapidly later this summer, Shaw said.
“This will likely translate to a very challenging fire season,” Shaw said at a news conference. “The fires that start in these regions will be very hard to suppress.”
Gov. Kate Brown said climate change has added complexity to the state’s wildfire response. She has declared drought in 15 counties, the earliest Oregon has seen that level of water scarcity in recent history.
The state is preparing with help from Senate Bill 762, which Brown signed into law last year. The bill provided for additional firefighting aircraft and money to hire more wildland firefighters.
Crews are expected to be strategically placed around the state.
The governor urged residents to sign up for emergency alerts through the state’s website, prepare a go-bag in case of evacuation orders and work to prevent fires.
“Most fires are human caused. Please be smart and be careful," Brown said. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Oregon-leaders-warn-of-difficult-wildfire-season-17177306.php | 2022-05-16T23:20:35Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Oregon-leaders-warn-of-difficult-wildfire-season-17177306.php | true | 13 |

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has recused one of the two orphaned Newtown bear cubs and has remained on the scene to try and get the second to safety, according to a Facebook post.
According to DEEP, staff was able to tranquilze one cub and capture it safely. Officials are now waiting for the second one to climb down.
DEEP initially wanted to keep the cubs in the wild but changed course and decided to try and rescue the two orphan cubs after outrage from community members and animal advocates.
Since Thursday, the two cubs have been without a mother.
A Newtown homeowner took a video of them not long before she said she heard their mama bear, known as Bobbi to community members, get shot. Bobbi was recognized by her ear tag.
DEEP said the investigation into the shooting continues, as they worked Monday to capture the cubs.
“It’s like this community has been nothing, but compassionate for these cubs, and they loved Bobbi, so this is the least we can do for these cubs,” said Annie Hornish, Connecticut State Director of The Humane Society of the United States.
Local
For the past couple of days, community members and animal advocates have been up in arms frustrated by the lack of response by DEEP, who said it planned to originally keep the cubs in the wild.
“These cubs are too young. In nature, the mother would protect them for a while longer,” said Hornish.
Hornish and members of the CT Wildlife Rehabilitation Association (CWRA) said they located the bears at a perfect place to be rescued Sunday, but mentioned that DEEP took hours to respond.
“Seven state legislators got involved yesterday. Four of them came here in person last night to advocate for the cubs and they reached out to the commissioner of DEEP and to the governor’s office,” said Hornish. She and CWRA board member Deborah Galle believe this is the only reason why DEEP responded Monday.
“Otherwise, they would have left the bears. They wanted this to go away quietly and it's putting the bear cubs at great risk,” said Hornish.
“It seems like it’s really simple in this day and age to just mobilize quickly and get everything you need to respond very, very quickly for something like this, but it’s absolutely not that simple. You know, staff are not located here in Newtown,” said Jenny Dickson, director of the wildlife division for DEEP.
Dickson said DEEP has had successful outcomes in keeping young cubs in their natural habitat, despite questions that the state’s website says cubs wean at seven months, and these little ones are believed to be just four-and-a-half months old.
“That’s always our first goal is to try and keep wild animals wild. A lot of times that does give them the best chance to grow up and be healthy adults. But there are a lot of factors that come into play with that,” she said.
Dickson said there is a push to resuce the cubs due to lots of public attention.
The cubs were too high up in a tree to rescue them on Monday.
“At the end of day, the most important thing is that we’re going to try and do what’s best for these cubs and I’m really grateful that the residents of Connecticut care about wildlife as much as they do,” said Dickson.
Both DEEP officials and animal advocates are still reminding everyone not to feed bears or these orphaned cubs.
The investigation into Bobbi's shooting continues.
While wildlife officials have not released any details about it, animal advocates believe Bobbi’s death could have been prevented. | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/orphaned-cubs-now-set-to-go-to-rehab-facility-after-community-pressure/2786473/ | 2022-05-16T23:23:34Z | https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/orphaned-cubs-now-set-to-go-to-rehab-facility-after-community-pressure/2786473/ | false | 1 |

The first episode of “Night Sky” offers nearly enough precision in its pathos to exist unto itself. Franklin (J.K. Simmons) and Irene York (Sissy Spacek) are an aging couple living just outside the (fictional) small town of Farnsworth, IL. Irene, a retired English teacher, isn’t letting her declining health affect her good humor, and Franklin enjoys taking care of her, Over their many years together, he’s adjusted his bad habits to better her life. “Son of a swine herd” are the first words out of Franklin’s mouth, as he habitually checks his language to appease his wife’s distaste for swearing. She still corrects his grammar. He smiles when she does.
Their loving rapport extends to what at first appears a simple late-night request from Irene: Tonight, she wants to “see the stars.” Franklin, while less eager, agrees, and helps Irene get situated in her wheelchair, guides her outside, and leads her… inside a small shed? Franklin helps her down the stairs, into a lit, underground tunnel, and peels back a heavy, metal door. From there, a light within the domed chamber flashes, and they’re transported to a room with two chairs, a table, and a stunning view of an unnamed planet. Irene and Franklin settle in, gaze out through the floor-to-ceiling window, and enjoy their 856th trip to, well, wherever they are.
Too soon for Irene’s liking, they venture back home, and the rest of the episode starts filling in backstory: a nosy neighbor, a mysterious stranger, a son who died decades too soon. But what works about the pilot — contrasting Irene’s need to move forward, whether to explore the strange new world or onto the next life altogether, with Franklin’s desire to preserve what they have, and safely spend as much time together as they have left — falls apart over the seven padded, lightly plotted follow-up hours. Like too many streaming TV shows that come across as stretched-out movies, “Night Sky” trickles out its premise over a full, frustrating season.

At first, it feels like showrunner Daniel C. Connolly and creator Holden Miller are simply pacing their series for an older, more patient audience — cradling sweet, telling, minor moments within the Yorks’ marriage. But as questions slowly stack up and answers are put off for no good reason, it becomes clear that “Night Sky” isn’t really about a couple struggling with arduous end-of-life planning; it’s a mystery-box show mapped over a tender romantic drama, and it becomes a rather lazy, tedious one at that.
Problems start to arise as soon as the second episode cuts to another family entirely, this one made up of a mother and daughter living in Argentina. Stella (Julieta Zylberberg) and her only child, Toni (Rocio Hernández), live a sequestered life in the desert. Toni doesn’t have many friends, and when she secretly invites a boy over, her mother flips out. Immediately, it’s unclear why Stella would be so upset; trying to hook up with a boy at 13 is one thing, but merely making friends is another. No explanation for a mother demanding her daughter live in isolation is given, and Stella’s reasoning is held back long enough for the mother-daughter duo to have the same fight, over and over. The audience likely knows why: There’s an old church near their house that Stella protects and cares for, despite no one else being allowed inside. Putting one mysterious backyard retreat together with the location already visited in Illinois will quickly put viewers well ahead of the narrative.
The show never tries to catch up. Remarkably few answers are given over eight hours, in part because certain plots lead nowhere (the neighbor’s political aspirations just… stop) but also because every character is far too complacent. Toni desperately wants the same answers we do, but as a teenager, she’s forced to trot along behind her mom, waiting and hoping for an explanation that may never come. Byron (Adam Bartley), the Yorks’ new neighbor, is also appropriately eager, but it takes way too long for him to become part of the main plot. Stella is a brick wall only matched in obtuse suppression by Jude (Chai Hansen), the mysterious stranger at the story’s center.

Spacek and Simmons, both Oscar winners, help make even the most dragged out bits watchable. As character actors, they’re adept at finding texture and nuance within scenes, working to freshen interactions and build arcs on honest humanity. I love that Simmons keeps Franklin’s shirt pockets unbuttoned — the mark of a man who works with his hands and treats his clothes as useful tools, not aesthetic accessories. (Franklin, before he retired, was a carpenter by trade.) Spacek could give a masterclass in movement. Irene is in pain at the start of the story, but gradually improves. Spacek does little to draw attention to these developments, letting the script point out the necessary changes, but she lives them all the same. Each stilted action is a process in early episodes, whereas later on, she finds a modest fluidity. Each actor gets a handful of emotional monologues. Each elicits great meaning out of a few looks. They are, indisputably, exceptional actors.
But they’re still hung out to dry here. There are only so many minor details you can appreciate until you need something major to actually happen, and the main couple’s development languishes in the long hours ahead. “Night Sky” has the pieces of a moving drama without the substance. After that first hour — which, with acute empathy, weighs a partner’s final needs against the needs of each individual — you may be holding back tears. But after seven more, your eyes have glazed over, and even these luminous stars can’t bring you back to Earth.
Grade: C-

HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Children's Hospital recently celebrated the topping out of the Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus, which will house pediatric care and women's health services under one state-of-the-art roof to better serve patients and their families in the Austin and Central Texas areas. To observe this important construction milestone, Texas Children's President & CEO Mark A. Wallace and Executive Vice President Michelle Riley-Brown, along with multiple physicians and Austin-area Texas Children's patients and their families, gathered with representatives from McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., Page Southerland Page Inc., and Transwestern to complete a traditional tree hoisting in honor of the new facility.
"It has been a longtime goal of mine to continue the vision of our founders and bring Texas Children's Hospital's high quality level of care to families throughout Texas," said Wallace. "Over the last few years, it has been amazing to see Texas Children's grow in Central Texas and I could not be more proud and excited to celebrate this important milestone in the completion of our Austin facility, along with my colleagues at Texas Children's and everyone at McCarthy, Page and Transwestern, without whom, none of this would have been possible."
Providing breadth and depth of services to the Austin area, the 365,000-square-foot main hospital offerings will include but not be limited to the following:
- Neonatal intensive care
- Pediatric intensive care
- Operating rooms
- Epilepsy monitoring
- Sleep center
- Emergency center
- Fetal center for advanced fetal interventions and fetal surgery with a special high-risk delivery unit
- Heart center
- Cardiovascular intensive care
- Renal dialysis
- State-of-the-art diagnostic imaging
- Acute care
- On-site Texas Children's Urgent Care location.
The adjacent 170,000-square-foot outpatient facility will provide added value by directly connecting patients and their families to Texas Children's numerous subspecialties, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, fetal care, dialysis, and more. "Our expanded footprint in Central Texas means more mothers and babies will have access to our top-tier, specialized care and world-renowned team," said Dr. Michael Belfort, OB/GYN-in-Chief at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women and Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine. "The Texas Children's Fetal Center is known across the globe as the go-to place for high-risk pregnancies, and we are thrilled to offer more families access to the nation's leading team for the diagnosis and treatment of fetal abnormalities closer to their home in Austin."
"We are so happy to be able to offer our services to the children, women and families of Austin," said Dr. Larry H. Hollier Jr., Surgeon-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Plastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "At Texas Children's Hospital, we are committed to bringing high-quality care for the most complex conditions close to home."
"Texas Children's Hospital is no stranger to Austin with primary, specialty and urgent care services already well established there," said Dr. Lara S. Shekerdemian, Pediatrician-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "Currently, several of our Austin and Central Texas patients and families also travel to Houston for some aspects of their care, but when our amazing new hospital opens in 2024 — our patients and families will have all of the very best care and subspecialty inpatient services in their own back yard."
"As capitol of our great state and a leading technology hub, it seems only fitting that the nation's largest children's hospital, Texas Children's can now call Austin home," said Dr. Jeffrey Shilt, Community-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Orthopedics and Scoliosis Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. "Our mission that originated in the Texas Medical Center in Houston remains the same in Austin: to create a healthier future for children and women by leading in patient care, education and research. I could not be more excited about building on our promise to deliver the highest quality of care, close to home for the families of Austin, which will include additional programs of excellence that provide even more choices for care in the region."
To provide a connected sense of care to patients, Texas Children's convened multiple community-centered focus and advisory groups to assess best practices for the region. "Expanding access to our expert pediatric and maternal care to even more families in Texas is an extension of our mission," said Riley-Brown. "We are excited to bring the unparalleled level of care that Texas Children's is known for to the families of Austin and look forward to opening our doors in 2024."
While staying true to the traditional Texas Children's look and feel, the new Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus simultaneously will weave the unique culture and geography of Austin and the Central Texas hill country into the facility. An outdoor therapy space will serve as a respite for patients, families and employees, and each floor of the new hospital will display a different theme based on Central Texas landscapes. In developing the building, Texas Children's targeted a sustainability rating of two stars in the Austin Energy Green Building Program, worked to conserve condensate water for irrigation, and preserved approximately 40% of the existing trees on the property.
"The thoughtful design and layout of the new hospital will enhance productivity and efficiency by streamlining the location of core services, while also celebrating the natural landscape to educate, inspire and promote healing," said Jill Pearsall, Senior Vice President of Facilities Planning and Development at Texas Children's.
Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus, located at 9835 North Lake Creek Parkway, will begin serving patients in the first quarter of 2024.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Representative Liz Cheney called on fellow Republicans to reject white supremacism, days after a teenage gunman motivated by the right-wing "great replacement" theory allegedly killed 10 people in a racist shooting in western New York state.
"The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism," Cheney, an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and his allies in the House of Representatives, wrote on Twitter.
"History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. @GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them," she tweeted.
Political fallout from the weekend shooting could become a new hurdle for Republicans, as they try to minimize infighting over party fealty to Trump in the run-up to the Nov. 8 midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
A 180-page manifesto that circulated online, believed to have been authored by the 18-year-old white man accused in the killing spree, outlined the "Great Replacement Theory," a racist conspiracy theory that white people were being replaced by minorities in the United States and elsewhere.
Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer blamed the spreading of the "replacement" theory on conservative media pundits and Trump-style Republican rhetoric on immigration.
"These views should have no place in American society and certainly no place in the segments of our most-watched news channels," said Schumer, who called for rooting out of hatred and legislation to address gun violence.
Cheney is one of two Republicans on a congressional committee that has subpoenaed House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and four other party lawmakers to testify about the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by hundreds of Trump supporters.
Cheney was joined by Representative Adam Kinzinger, a fellow maverick Republican who is also on the committee, in blaming the party's leadership for not condemning the racism that fueled the attack in Buffalo, New York, where 11 of the 13 wounded were Black Americans.
"Here is my replacement theory: we need to replace @EliseStefanik, @GOPLeader, @RepMTG, @CawthornforNC and a number of others," Kinzinger said Sunday in a tweet referring to McCarthy, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and hard-line Trump supporters Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn.
"The replacement theory they are pushing/tolerating is getting people killed," said Kinzinger.
Cheney and Kinzinger maintain that House leaders are pandering to Trump allies and supporters who advocate white nationalism as the party tries to take control of the House in November's midterm elections.
In a tweet on Saturday, Kinzinger said Stefanik pushed white replacement theory in Facebook ads last September that claimed Democrats planned to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants to overthrow the U.S. electorate and perpetuate their power.
Stefanik's office in a statement rejected that criticism.
"Any implication or attempt to blame the heinous shooting in Buffalo on the Congresswoman is a new disgusting low for the left, their Never Trump allies and the sycophant stenographers in the media," said Alex DeGrasse, a senior adviser to Stefanik.
Stefanik, who represents a New York state congressional district, replaced Cheney as the No. 3 House Republican last year after Cheney condemned Trump for the January 2021 Capitol attack by his supporters.
Greene on Twitter said that responsibility for the shooting lay only with the gunman. The offices of McCarthy and Cawthorn did not respond to requests for comment.

TORONTO, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Rhyolite Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RYE) ("Rhyolite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its inaugural 3,000-metre diamond core drilling program at the Brothers Project in Suriname has identified a gold mineralized shear zone 3.5 km in length. The shear zone is open on strike at both ends and is open down dip. Highlight assay results include 10 metres (m) of 1.8 g/t gold (Au) in hole BRDD-001, 6m of 4.6 g/t Au in hole BRDD-004, 8m of 2.4 g/t Au in hole BRDD-009, 1m of 20.5 g/t Au in hole BRDD-013. The drill program was completed in late March 2022.
Fred Stanford, Chief Executive Officer of Rhyolite, commented: "These initial holes were drilled to test for gold mineralization at shallow depths. It is early days in this exploration program, but it was more than encouraging to find 10m of 1.8 g/t Au in the first hole drilled on the large 9,600-hectare Brothers Project located on a significant, emerging gold belt in the Guiana Shield. The team will make use of the geological and structural understandings that were enhanced by this drill program, as well as additional geophysics and geochemical work to refine the targeting for the next drilling campaign at the Brothers Project.
"While this targeting work is ongoing at the Brothers Project, an inaugural diamond drilling campaign is scheduled to commence at the Suku Passi Project during the next dry season which typically starts in August."
No previous diamond drilling had been conducted on the district-scale Brothers Project. The focus of the initial 20-hole drilling program was to test a variety of target types to identify priority prospects along with host rocks, structure and alteration. Planned follow-up exploration will include trenching and field sampling in the southern part of Brothers that hosts volcanic-sedimentary lithologies resembling the world-class Rosebel and Merian gold mines in Suriname.
Standard protocol of chain of custody, standards, blanks and duplicates were used. Oriented core of HQ size was done and structural data entered in a database software. Filab Assay Lab in Suriname was used for 50-gram fire assays. Check assays of pulps and rejects are in progress.

US Republicans accused of ‘enabling’ racism by ex-chair
The aftermath of Saturday’s mass shooting in Buffalo, New York has widened the gulf between supporters and detractors of former US President Donald Trump and his brand of populism within the Republican party, with ousted chairwoman Liz Cheney launching a new volley on Monday. She accused the current leadership of “enabling” racist ideologies.
“The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism,” she tweeted, adding that the GOP leadership must “renounce and reject these views and those who hold them” because “history has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.”
The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. @GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.

“Great Replacement Theory” was trending on Twitter on Monday as users across the political spectrum debated whether conservative voices like Tucker Carlson and the Daily Wire could be blamed for encouraging or inciting the gunman, 18-year old Payton Gendron, to violence. A 180-page manifesto he purportedly authored has come under intense media scrutiny in the aftermath of the massacre. The document outlines the so-called “Great Replacement Theory” of white demographic displacement, which is central to alt-right discourse.
“Here is my replacement theory,” Representative Adam Kinzinger from Illinois opined, saying his fellow Republicans should “replace” current chairwoman, Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, and others because “the replacement theory they are pushing/tolerating is getting people killed.” Kinzinger and Cheney are the sole Republicans on the January 6 Committee.
Stefanik’s office decried the “sickening and false reporting” in a statement released on Monday. Senior advisor Alex deGrasse called attempts to blame Stefanik for the Buffalo shooting “a new disgusting low for the Left, their Never Trump allies and the sycophantic stenographers in the media.” He claimed Stefanik had “never advocated for any racist position or made a racist statement.”
The mass shooting occurred early on Saturday afternoon in Buffalo, New York. A white gunman, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, entered a local supermarket with a rifle while wearing military-style gear. He killed 10 people, most of whom were black. He is charged with murder and could face life in prison without parole if convicted under New York State laws. Federal agencies are assisting in the investigation, which is being probed as a potential hate crime and domestic terrorist incident. | https://www.rt.com/news/555589-liz-cheney-buffalo-replacement/ | 2022-05-16T23:42:31Z | https://www.rt.com/news/555589-liz-cheney-buffalo-replacement/ | true | 1 |
Dear Annie: I'd like to offer an alternative perspective on your advice to "Trying To Heal," who is finding it hard to forgive her abusive mother. I would argue quite strongly, and from experience, that forgiveness isn't necessary to healing. Trying To Heal is under absolutely zero obligation to forgive her mother, and she can still heal without having done so.
One doesn't need to forgive to lay aside their anger; those are two separate things. Society forgets that all too often, to the detriment of the victims of abuse, crime and other traumas. People treat an inability to forgive like it's some kind of conscious, vindictive choice instead of being a visceral emotional response to pain and grief. That's a mindset that's incredibly damaging to abuse victims, who are already grappling with their self-esteem. It's also a mindset that prioritizes the rights of the abuser over the rights of the abused. Researchers have only recently started examining the question of whether forgiveness can have a negative impact, and they're finding that it can in many cases.
In my own journey to overcome the effects of the abuse I was subject to for the first 20 years of my life, I struggled and felt like a horrible human being for being unable to forgive my father. Worse, my therapists kept telling me over and over that I would never heal if I couldn't forgive. Once again, I was being given no power and no agency over my own life. I was powerless as a child and then I was powerless as an adult and being told by professionals that I would always be powerless. How is that meant to help someone heal and move on?
A few years ago, I finally started seeing a therapist who advised me to stop focusing on my ability to forgive, who had the courage to go against mainstream platitudes and toxic positivity and tell me that I was actually (SET ITAL) allowed (END ITAL) to feel what I felt without guilt. And the progress I've started to see since that has been leaps and bounds above the progress I had made in the prior 20 years. In that time, I have come to understand the factors that led my father to become the kind of person he was. I have even come to feel some measure of sympathy for him. But I don't forgive him, and I don't need to, because he no longer has power over me. Until I was given permission not to forgive, he still did have power over me, and he kept me from really healing.
You can understand a person without sympathizing with them. Some things are unforgivable. That's allowed, and it's not something people should be made to feel guilty or inadequate over. People are allowed to feel what they feel. The only thing that matters is what they do with those feelings. There is no magic panacea that always heals everyone.
Once I learned to accept that, I became happier, healthier (physically as well as emotionally) and no longer powerless. -- Alternative Perspective on Healing
Dear Alternative Perspective: What a great therapist you are working with! Of course you are right to focus on your feelings, and the power that gives you. Being powerless as a child, and then as an adult who is told to feel a certain way -- contrary to the way you actually feel -- is crazy making. Thank you for your thoughtful letter. You have so many great insights, and they will undoubtedly come to the aid of many struggling readers.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - mCloud Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: MCLD) (TSXV: MCLD), ("mCloud" or the "Company") a leading provider of AI-powered asset management and Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") solutions today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 ("Q1 2022").
mCloud President and CEO Russ McMeekin commented on the results:
"mCloud's results in the first quarter of 2022 were in line with what was discussed at our last conference call for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 on April 4, 2022, reflecting the impact of impeded use of mCloud solutions up to the end of March."
"We saw a modest uptick in the addition of new connected assets this past quarter. Among the new assets we added in Q1 2022 was the installation of AssetCare at the Slate Life Plaza building in Calgary, which we originally announced in November 2021. This is mCloud's first major high-rise commercial building using our indoor air quality solution. The before-and-after results of buildings with our solution continue to showcase the measurable impact and positive benefits we have on buildings seeking the safe return of occupants to the workplace."
"In addition to the ongoing success we are seeing in our buildings business, we are well-positioned for growth across all segments. In June, we plan to begin scaling our business in Saudi Arabia. As evidenced by our recent press announcement in early May, our wind customers in Europe are returning to work. We believe our business in Europe will continue to grow throughout the year and beyond heading into 2023."
"Numerous customer sites tied to our upstream digital oilfield initiatives based out of our ESG-Digital Hub in Houston are now entering contracting. Recent moves in the United States to implement new stringent policies and reduce methane emissions coupled with high oil prices have made our AssetCare solutions at the wellsite especially relevant. As discussed at our last conference call, we are in a position to see strong growth in this segment."
"In the past quarter, Alberta and the rest of Canada began returning to work. We look forward to this return, bringing with it the opportunity for us to take our full portfolio of AssetCare solutions to new and existing customers across the country."
The Company noted today it had filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 11, 2022. The Form F-1 outlines a proposed offering for sale of 9.0% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, no par value, with a US$25.00 liquidation preference per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares").
Each Series A Preferred Share is proposed to be sold with one-half of one warrant (each, a "Warrant", and together, the "Warrants") to purchase one common share. The Warrants would be exercisable on the date of issuance and expire on November 29, 2026, at an exercise price per common share equal to $4.75. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for the retirement of the company's Convertible Debentures due on June 30, 2022.
The offering is subject to market conditions and the receipt of all required regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-1, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.
Additional details are available in the Form F-1 available under mCloud's profile on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. This press release is being made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 134 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
As announced on May 5, 2022, mCloud closed US$15 million in funds from its partnership with Carbon Royalty Corp in support of the Company's implementation of AssetCare EV charging optimization solutions at auto dealerships.
The Company reiterated its expectations for 2022 remain consistent with what was discussed at mCloud's last earnings conference call on April 4, 2022.
Q1 2022 Revenue Highlights
All figures in millions of Canadian dollars
In the table above, the Company has provided a summary of quarterly revenues compared year-over-year to the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 ("Q1 2021"), and quarter-over-quarter to the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 ("Q4 2021"). The Company believes the quarter-over-quarter comparison provides useful and relevant context to compare current quarter performance as it relates to current operating conditions.
Consistent with the discussion at mCloud's last earnings conference call on April 4, 2022, Q1 2022 revenues were down year-over-year. Q1 2022 AssetCare Over Time revenues were C$4.0 million for the quarter compared to C$6.4 million in Q1 2021, but consistent with the C$3.9 million seen in Q4 2021.
Q1 2022 total revenues were C$4.4 million for the quarter compared to C$7.4 million in Q1 2021, but higher compared to C$4.2 million in Q4 2021.
The Company added 774 new connected assets in the quarter reaching a cumulative total of 64,550 connected assets.
Operating EBITDA, defined as gross profit less all direct expenses, saw a loss of C$6.7 million in Q1 2022. As AssetCare revenues return to pre-pandemic levels, the Company expects gross profit contributions to exceed the costs incurred from direct expenses, which will drive a positive Operating EBITDA in late 2022.
Q1 2021 Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call at 10:00 am EDT on May 17, 2022 to discuss the financial results. The conference call will include prepared remarks from Russ McMeekin, Chief Executive Officer, and Chantal Schutz, Chief Financial Officer. After the prepared remarks, the Company will accept questions.

Non-GAAP Measure
Selected financial information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021 set out above include reference to "Operating EBITDA," which is not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards and is a non-generally accepted accounting principle ("Non-GAAP") measure.
The Company defines Operating EBITDA attributed to shareholders as gross profit less all expenses related to sales and marketing, wages, salaries, and benefits, research and development, and general and administrative activities.
The Company believes Operating EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides important and relevant information to management about the operating and financial performance of the Company. Operating EBITDA enables management to assess its ability to generate operating cash flow to fund future working capital needs, and to support future growth.
This information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 along with mCloud's MD&As for the corresponding periods, which are available under mCloud's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Children's Hospital recently celebrated the topping out of the Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus, which will house pediatric care and women's health services under one state-of-the-art roof to better serve patients and their families in the Austin and Central Texas areas. To observe this important construction milestone, Texas Children's President & CEO Mark A. Wallace and Executive Vice President Michelle Riley-Brown, along with multiple physicians and Austin-area Texas Children's patients and their families, gathered with representatives from McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., Page Southerland Page Inc., and Transwestern to complete a traditional tree hoisting in honor of the new facility.
"It has been a longtime goal of mine to continue the vision of our founders and bring Texas Children's Hospital's high quality level of care to families throughout Texas," said Wallace. "Over the last few years, it has been amazing to see Texas Children's grow in Central Texas and I could not be more proud and excited to celebrate this important milestone in the completion of our Austin facility, along with my colleagues at Texas Children's and everyone at McCarthy, Page and Transwestern, without whom, none of this would have been possible."
Providing breadth and depth of services to the Austin area, the 365,000-square-foot main hospital offerings will include but not be limited to the following:
- Neonatal intensive care
- Pediatric intensive care
- Operating rooms
- Epilepsy monitoring
- Sleep center
- Emergency center
- Fetal center for advanced fetal interventions and fetal surgery with a special high-risk delivery unit
- Heart center
- Cardiovascular intensive care
- Renal dialysis
- State-of-the-art diagnostic imaging
- Acute care
- On-site Texas Children's Urgent Care location.
The adjacent 170,000-square-foot outpatient facility will provide added value by directly connecting patients and their families to Texas Children's numerous subspecialties, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, fetal care, dialysis, and more. "Our expanded footprint in Central Texas means more mothers and babies will have access to our top-tier, specialized care and world-renowned team," said Dr. Michael Belfort, OB/GYN-in-Chief at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women and Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine. "The Texas Children's Fetal Center is known across the globe as the go-to place for high-risk pregnancies, and we are thrilled to offer more families access to the nation's leading team for the diagnosis and treatment of fetal abnormalities closer to their home in Austin."
"We are so happy to be able to offer our services to the children, women and families of Austin," said Dr. Larry H. Hollier Jr., Surgeon-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Plastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "At Texas Children's Hospital, we are committed to bringing high-quality care for the most complex conditions close to home."
"Texas Children's Hospital is no stranger to Austin with primary, specialty and urgent care services already well established there," said Dr. Lara S. Shekerdemian, Pediatrician-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "Currently, several of our Austin and Central Texas patients and families also travel to Houston for some aspects of their care, but when our amazing new hospital opens in 2024 — our patients and families will have all of the very best care and subspecialty inpatient services in their own back yard."
"As capitol of our great state and a leading technology hub, it seems only fitting that the nation's largest children's hospital, Texas Children's can now call Austin home," said Dr. Jeffrey Shilt, Community-in-Chief at Texas Children's and Professor of Orthopedics and Scoliosis Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. "Our mission that originated in the Texas Medical Center in Houston remains the same in Austin: to create a healthier future for children and women by leading in patient care, education and research. I could not be more excited about building on our promise to deliver the highest quality of care, close to home for the families of Austin, which will include additional programs of excellence that provide even more choices for care in the region."
To provide a connected sense of care to patients, Texas Children's convened multiple community-centered focus and advisory groups to assess best practices for the region. "Expanding access to our expert pediatric and maternal care to even more families in Texas is an extension of our mission," said Riley-Brown. "We are excited to bring the unparalleled level of care that Texas Children's is known for to the families of Austin and look forward to opening our doors in 2024."
While staying true to the traditional Texas Children's look and feel, the new Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus simultaneously will weave the unique culture and geography of Austin and the Central Texas hill country into the facility. An outdoor therapy space will serve as a respite for patients, families and employees, and each floor of the new hospital will display a different theme based on Central Texas landscapes. In developing the building, Texas Children's targeted a sustainability rating of two stars in the Austin Energy Green Building Program, worked to conserve condensate water for irrigation, and preserved approximately 40% of the existing trees on the property.
"The thoughtful design and layout of the new hospital will enhance productivity and efficiency by streamlining the location of core services, while also celebrating the natural landscape to educate, inspire and promote healing," said Jill Pearsall, Senior Vice President of Facilities Planning and Development at Texas Children's.
Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus, located at 9835 North Lake Creek Parkway, will begin serving patients in the first quarter of 2024.

Think about the best movie you've seen in the last few years. The Power of the Dog, Roma, Beyoncé's Homecoming. Yeah, they're all Netflix Original films. It's wild to think that Netflix only just got into the filmmaking game in 2015 with Beasts of No Nation. It feels as though it's been here since Ilsa walked into Rick's gin joint all those years ago. Okay, maybe not that long ago, but you get the idea. For about seven years, the streaming giant has showed zero signs of slowing down, elevating its slate of buzzy originals every year, with accolades getting super serious in 2019 when Roma, Marriage Story, The Irishman, and more saw legit runs on the awards circuit, culminating in Oscar nominations and wins. Which brings us to our superlative list: the best Original Netflix movies. Because the streamer has more than 1,500 Originals to peruse, we thought we'd do the curation work for you. From animated allegories and innovative horror to profound dramas and crowd-pleasing comedies, we've got the goods ahead. Keep scrolling for 55 of the very best Netflix Originals with quick links to watch each of them stat.

1Always Be My Maybe
Netflix
By now, you’re aware of the recent rom-com renaissance. A resurgence of the romantic comedy (and a time period we’re still actually kind of living in -> Marry Me, I Want You Back), the rebirth saw not just the genre make a comeback, but also reinventions and even innovative takes on the classic. Always Be My Maybe is precisely one of those elevated gems. Starring Ali Wong and Randall Park as Sasha and Marcus, the narrative follows two old friends as they think about maybe taking their friendship to new places.
The shocking and vile USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal that rocked the world is explored in depth in this award-winning documentary film. The directors follow the lead of the Indianapolis Star reporters who broke the news that Larry Nassar had been sexually abusing gymnasts for two decades, explores the coverup at the highest levels, and hears from the victims, including Maggie Nichols, Rachael Denhollander, and Jessica Howard.
A supernatural refugee story wrapped in a coming-of-age romance, Atlantics is a gorgeous masterpiece from French-Senegalese director Mati Diop. The story unfolds around Ada and Souleiman, lovers who are kept apart by uncontrollable forces. When Souleiman jumps a ship for Spain to leave his small coastal suburb in Dakar for a better future, Ada is crushed. That is, until she feels his ghost all around her.
Netflix began its movie-making journey with this wartime drama about a West African boy forced into mercenary fighting. The platform recruited big names for its inaugural undertaking, too, with Cary Fukunaga taking the wheel, Idris Elba starring, and future Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos producing. Making his feature debut, Abraham Atta, then 14 years old, doesn’t flinch while playing child soldier Agu, his emotionally demanding performance earning critical praise and film awards alike.
Despite the unfortunate (and dangerous) TikTok challenge the film inspired, Bird Box remains one of the best (and best-performing) originals produced by the Netflix studio. Directed by Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, the postapocalyptic horror story watches Bullock’s Malorie and two children flee some unknown global killer—an evil that when seen causes the onlooker to commit some form of brutal suicide (hence the necessary blindfolds). Beyond the scares, Bier’s film is propelled by themes of humanity, emotion, and the disconnect both can cause.
Inside his guest house during peak pandemic days, comedian-actor-musician-wonderboy Bo Burnham crafted one of the strangest, coolest, funniest musical docs you'll ever see. The contents of the film take place over the year 2020—you remember that one; it's when we all had to stay inside every single day for fear of spreading a certain virus—and Burnham's self-produced songs cover everything from white women on Instagram to FaceTimeing with his mom.
The second documentary spawned from Netflix's partnership with the Obamas' production company, Higher Ground, Crip Camp set out to do for the disability rights movement what The Times of Harvey Milk did for gay rights. And hopefully, they'll acheive their goal. Told through archival footage, interviews, and a groovy soundtrack, the doc introduces you to the trailblazers who challenged the status quo and ignited a revolutionary movement.
Spike Lee explores the Black Vietnam vet's experience in his latest joint. Recruiting a stellar cast including Jonathan Majors, Delroy Lindo, and Clarke Peters, Lee's film jumps around in time, as his core cast returns to the site of the war to retreive the remains of their squad leader. In true Lee form, the script doesn't flinch, attacking race, agony, and the effects of war head-on.
Get ready to cry. Hardly the morbid watch its title might suggest, Kirsten Johnson's highly personal documentary is actually a cinematic celebration of life, and death, in particular that of her father, Richard Johnson. Instructed by his daughter, Dick enacts fantastical, sometimes brutal, ways in which he could die. Funny, thoughtful, whimsical, the documentary is the creative outlet Kirsten uses to process her father's real-life dementia. So, like we said, get ready to shed some big fat tears.
Laverne Cox, whose role in Orange Is the New Black catapulted her to fame, gives her fellow trans actors the spotlight with Disclosure. Chronicling 100 years of trans representation onscreen, the doc is the brainchild of Cox, Mj Rodriguez, Lilly Wachowski, Chaz Bono, and others, and tracks the evolution of trans stories in film and television. No matter your pronouns, this one is essential viewing for our modern times.
Eddie Murphy makes a triumphant return to movies with Dolemite, a raucous biopic about the man, the myth, the legend who is Rudy Ray Moore. Just a refresher: Moore reinvented himself as Dolemite, a kung fu-fighting pimp who left an indelible mark on the Blaxploitation film industry. Directed by Hustle & Flow's Craig Brewer and costarring Wesley Snipes, Keegan-Michael Key, and others, the movie gives Murphy the stage to flex every fiber of his acting chops: Enjoy.
Adam McKay is no stranger to provocative comedies—he has The Big Short’s Margot Robbie explaining mortgage-backed bonds from a bubble bath, after all—so a doomsday satire that holds a mirror up to our current sociopolitical climate is no doubt right up his alley. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence steer the ship here as astronomers who have spotted a comet heading straight for Earth. It’s a discovery some take seriously, and one that others see as just, well, fake news.
Jennifer Aniston teams up with rising star Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cakes, Bird Box, Unbelievable) for a Southern-fried pageant comedy that flips the antiquated tradition on its perfectly coiffed head. Macdonald plays Willadean (a.k.a. Dumplin'), the daughter of Aniston's Rosie, a former beauty queen, and armed with the tunes of Dolly Parton and the advice from some fairy godmother drag queens, she enters a beauty pageant as a protest.
You didn't think Jesse was just going to ride off into the night, never to be heard from again, did you? Breaking Bad fans—especially those partial to Pinkman—will be delighted to know that the story doesn't end with the fifth season finale. In El Camino, the story picks up with Jesse on the run, hoping to get a new life courtesy of a very peculiar Hoover vacuum salesman, recommended by none other than Saul Goodman.
The classic Sherlock Holmes movies get an updated installment in the form of a fast-paced action flick with a feminsit bent. Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame takes the lead, with Henry Cavill, a.k.a. Superman, riding shotgun. The two play siblings Enola and Sherlock Holmes, with Enola setting out on a mission to find their missing mother, outwitting every dangerous encounter along the way.
A single viewing of this Will Ferrell-Rachel McAdams musical gem is simply not enough. Ferrell and McAdams play Lars and Sigrit, two Iceland singing hopefuls whose band, Fire Saga, has just been chosen to represent their country at Eurovision, a global song competition that celebrates diversity. A stellar soundtrack from Reykjavík rockers Sigur Rós and glorious cameos from real-life Eurovision alums, this one just has so much to love and celebrate.
The first one. No, the third one! Good luck deciding which installment of the hit Fear Street trilogy is best. Because achieving the nearly impossible feat, all three films of this trio are great. They begin with our Shadyside crew, led by Kiana Madeira as Deena, fighting to survive a witch and end in 1666 exploring the origin of the curse, all while elevating R.L. Stein's original content with the socio-political commentary fit for today.
If you're a fan of the streaming platform's Haunting franchise, then don't miss out on this Mike Flanagan gem. A two-hander that stars Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood, it starts out like all Flanagan stories: benign and serene, with feelings of horror simmering just below the surface. Of course, if you're a seasoned fan, you know he's laying the groundwork for a narrative packed with twists, turns, and surprises. Such is Gerald's Game.
One of the best horror movies you'll find on digital shelves, His House is a refugee story shrouded in a haunted house tale. You have Sudanese couple Bol and Rial, who survived the treacherous journey to England from war-torn Sudan and are trying to start a new life. Interrupting their adjustment: ghosts, demons, and past regrets. Remi Weekes's ambitious debut is everything you want in a late-night chiller, and more.
Leave it to Queen Bey to keep us entirely enthralled for two-plus hours. Way more than your conventional concert doc, Homecoming, directed by the superstar herself, along with the award-winning Ed Burke, charts Beyoncé's journey to Coachella 2018, when she became the first Black woman to headline the fest, and is a sexy, powerful, furious, euphoric tribute to Black excellence. All hail the queen.
We never saw Rose Byrne and Hilary Swank joining forces for a space thriller coming, but by all means, put us down for that—and the sequel (should the Netflix gods grace us with one). Set in a world devoid of human life, this subtle chamber piece unravels via Daughter (Clara Rugaard), a teenage girl who is raised by a robot named Mother (voiced by Byrne). All is good until an unwelcome visitor (Swank) shows up, challenging everything Daughter thinks she knows.
Told from the point of view of a severed hand (don't worry, it's not gory), this French gem is essentially a comment on life after tragedy. Yes, it is animated, but it's crafted with mature imagery and poignant narratives, so much so you might consider it the most adult film you've seen in a long time. Story-wise, a hand sets out to find its owner, while a guy tries to woo a girl. Both stories are connected, but you have to wait until the final 10 minutes or so to find out exactly how.
There's no two ways around it: The works of Charlie Kaufman are a challenge. And his latest, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, a surreal and snowy trek through the mind of a woman who wants to ditch her boyfriend, is no exception. But when you have Jesse Plemmons and Jessie Buckley in the driver's seat, it makes the director's enigmatic head-scratcher go down a bit easier.
A quiet sleeper hit you may have missed when it premiered in 2018, Lionheart is a Nigerian crowd-pleaser about a woman who challenges the status quo in a male-dominated world. It's directed by Nollywood icon Genevieve Nnaji, who also stars as Adaeze. When Adaeze's father steps down from running the family business, she steps up to the plate. The result is a comforting, funny, and full-of-heart film.
Watching Viola Davis deliver a sweaty, swaggering performance as blues legend Ma Rainey in George C. Wolf's single-set film is an experience in itself. She's gritty, she's mesmerizing, she's Viola Davis. Amazingly, however, the film delivers not one but several outstanding performances, specifically the brash and transformative trumpeter played by Chadwick Boseman. The brilliant piece of acting would also be his last, as he died from cancer shortly after filming.
The movie industry definitely felt the pains of the pandemic, but certain films found a way to work with the constraints, and even excelled in the process. Sam Levinson's Malcolm & Marie is one of those films. It stars Zendaya and John David Washington as a couple who spend a night fighting, making up, and then fighting some more. And beyond some stunning formalwear worn by Zendaya, we're treated to two actors blossoming in their craft right before our very eyes.
David Fincher puts his trademark psychological thriller on the back burner, and this time gives the dramedy biopic a go with Mank. Starring Gary Oldman, Lily Collins, and Amanda Seyfried, the film is essentially a dedication to the writer of Citizen Kane, a brilliant yet erratic man who suffered from alcoholism, but, really, the movie is just an excuse to let the stellar cast do what they do best.
Even though the tears will probably flow while watching Adam Driver’s Charlie and Scarlett Johansson’s Nicole go through the stages of marriage and divorce, you will actually find yourself laughing a lot too. Noah Baumbach’s Oscar-nominated script, which is loosely based on his own split from fellow actor Jennifer Jason Leigh, takes a look at the dissolution of a relationship not through a “conscious uncoupling” lens, but rather a very real and very raw human one. The results are at once devastating and hilarious.
If you don't know her by name yet, let's change that now. Dee Rees is one of cinema's most masterful voices, with works like Pariah and Bessie demanding attention. Here, with Mudbound, Rees tells another compelling story: Two men—one white, one Black—return home to Mississippi from WWII only to find a race war being waged at their feet.
Sometimes a woman need say nothing at all but let out a long, deep sigh. We hear you, Manana, clear as a bell. Overworked, overstressed, and mentally strained, 52-year-old Manana is over it: She's done waiting on her husband and children, she's beyond tolerating her parents, and she's exhausted from carrying the weight put on her by her multigenerational Georgian family. So she leaves. And self-discovery begins.
It's not every day you fall in love with an octopus. But just a few minutes spent with Craig Foster and his little tentacled wonder will no doubt do you in. Set over the course of one year, the award-winning nature documentary sheds light on the unlikely friendship Foster nurtures with the wild creature living in a South African kelp forest. And it's exactly the soother we all need right now.
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the best character actors working today. And as zoologist Johnny Wilcox in South Korea’s Okja, he gives us another bonkers character to dissect. But he’s not even the best part of this adventure film. That honor goes to Mija (An Seo Hyun), a little girl determined to free her pet superpig, named Okja, from the clutches of a villainous livestock company, led by self-obsessed CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton).
A vibrant celebration of Chinese culture, Over the Moon tells the story of a little girl named Fei Fei who sets out to prove that the goddess in the moon, Chinese deity Cheng E, really does exist. Fueled by the mythical stories her late mother told her, Fei Fei builds her very own rocket ship and blasts off on a journey filled with music, fantasy, and even romance. An easygoing watch, this one is also a visual achievement that caught the attention of the Academy last year.
Rebecca Hall, whose own mother passed as white when she was growing up, makes her directorial debut with this black-and-white adaptation of the same-name 1929 novel by Nella Larson. It stars Ruth Negga and Tessa Thompson as Clare and Irene, respectively, mixed-race childhood friends whose adulthood reunion threatens to shatter the lives they’ve both built. And it snagged several BAFTA nominations, including Outstanding Debut by a British filmmaker.
If Kathryn Hahn is in it, we're watching it. A talented comedian who can find the hilarity in truths as sobering as infertility, she stars in the latest gloomy comedy from Tamara Jenkins (The Savages, Slums of Beverly Hills) alongside Paul Giamatti. The two play a couple going through in vitro fertilization in an effort to get pregnant, all the while stretching the boundaries of their relationship.
A gorgeously shot love letter to “all the women who raised him,” Alfonso Cuarón’s autobiographical Roma chronicles one family’s experience living in Colonia Roma, Mexico City, in the year 1970 when the country was experiencing strong economic growth, a time dubbed the Mexican Miracle. Most of the film unfolds through the family’s domestic worker, Cleo—her ebbs, her flows, her harsh realities. It will make you smile, it will make you cry, it will make you want to call your mother.
Another solid contribution to the rom-com renaissance, Claire Scanlon's Set It Up sees Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell play Harper and Charlie, two assistants who set up their miserable workaholic bosses (played by Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively), hoping that the love fog that comes with a new relationship will ease their workplace woes. Side note: Mr. Buzzyworthy, Pete Davidson, makes a cameo.
Don’t judge a movie by its title: This isn’t the home-invasion thriller of yesteryear. There’s no battered babysitter, no psycho stalker, no trope-y ’80s clichés in sight—except for those being completely slashed and reimagined by their director. Instead, what we have here is a genre-blending good time about a diabolical beauty (Samara Weaving) who will stop at nothing to keep her Satan-worshipping cult from getting found out.
Black, white, and powerful all over, Rhada Blank's Sundance-winning debut employs biting satire to tell the story of a woman whose ambitions and badassery only get better with age. Of course, Rhada doesn't always see it that way. A less-than-fortunate playwright, she makes the midlife shift to hip-hop, hoping to finally make it big. Trying yet triumphant, the journey sees Rhada find her voice.
Cyrano de Bergerac, a 19th-century French play about a talented poet who has zero confidence in his appearance and instead hides behind his love letters, gets the modern rom-com treatment in Netflix’s The Half of It. This version, a quietly revolutionary take on queer romance and odd couplings written and directed by Alice Wu, is set in high school—a straight-A student, an athlete, and the girl they both love serving as its main players.
It's the film that launched Jay-Z's Instagram account. But beyond that, the film, produced by the rapper-mogul, directed by Jeymes Samuel, and starring a dynamite cast including Regina King, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, and Idris Elba, is one of very few Black-led Westerns in a genre saturated with John Wayne look-alikes. So saddle up for a visionary ride through the wild west that gives history's real Black cowboys the spotlight they deserve.
One of the platform's earlier productions, The Incredible Jessica James stars Jessica Williams (2 Dope Queens) and Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) as two New Yorkers looking for love in a social media obsessed world. But the real star here, as the film's title would suggest, is Williams. The actress, who cut her teeth as a Daily Show correspondent, is bold, she's assertive, she's—in her own words—dope.
In true Scorsese form, the director recruited his favorite actors for a stacked cast led by Robert De Niro, who plays hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran. The narrative is based on I Heard You Paint Houses, the true-crime novel by former homicide prosecutor Charles Brandt, and it offers a theory as to who killed Jimmy Hoffa (played here by Al Pacino). No matter what the movie gets right or wrong, the result is a visionary masterpiece that scored 10 Oscar nominations.
The tension in Sara Colangelo's Sundance stunner is more nerve-racking than worrying about getting your name on the board in preschool. It's palpable and doesn't let up until the credits roll. Of course, we have Maggie Gyllenhaal to thank for that. She deftly plays a kindergarten teacher enamored with a student prodigy. Fearful his father isn't nurturing the budding Mozart well enough, she kidnaps him.
Maggie Gyllenhaal makes her directorial debut with a sophisticated drama that explores the complexities of being a mother. Starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley as a woman named Leda during different stages of her life and parenthood, the film sees Leda on a beach vacation in sunwashed Greece, where her dark past just keeps bubbling up to the surface.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and the Mitchells are not fine. A dysfunctional funky bunch, this family of four (plus pup) sets out to bond on a road trip but get detoured when an apocalyptic robot takeover threatens to end the very existence of humanity. Strapped with two friendly bots, the Mitchells hatch a plan to win the techno-war, bonding on every nondigital level along the way.
Charlize Theron follows up her savage Atomic Blonde performance with another badass role: Andy in Gina Prince-Bythewood's high-octane action flick, The Old Guard. The story actually unfolds through KiKi Layne's Nile, the most recent member of Andy's group of covert immortal mercenaries who will stop at nothing to keep their identities under wraps.
Nominated for a whopping 12 Oscars, Jane Campion’s Power of the Dog is a slow-burn boiler that’s robed in foreboding tension, ominous to even its final scene. It follows the habits of a mercurial rancher named Phil and those walking on eggshells around him, in particular a shy, young man named Peter. As the two spend the days investigating each other, Phil begins to open up, loosening the reins on his secrets and torment, giving way to the possibility of getting bitten.
Careful what you swipe for! The women in Netflix's gripping docudrama were all duped by the same con-man posing as the heir to an Israeli diamond fortune. Charading online as Simon Leviev, the fake son of real billionaire Lev Leviev, Shimon Hayut conned an estimated $10 million out of women he met online. And even though the doc doesn't really deliver the Gotcha! blow that you want, it's more than thrilling to watch three women confront Shimon as the filthy liar he is.
Aaron Sorkin goes easy on his trademark breakneck dialogue for his directorial debut. But only slightly. Sorkin's all-star cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Sacha Baron Cohen, still exchange cutting lines and whipsmart discourse like pros, as they take us behind the scenes of the 1968 DNC riot that turned violent in Chicago.
Based on true events, this Netflix Original meanders through a meeting between the conservative Pope Benedict XVI and the more liberal Cardinal Bergoglio, known to all today as Pope Francis, as the future of the Catholic church hangs in the balance. Traveling to Rome to ask Pope Benedict for his blessing to retire, Bergoglio is met with an entirely different proposition. We think you know how it turns out.
A story of transformative ambition, The White Tiger offers a grim look at the Indian caste system—but it does so with white-knuckle action, comedic wit, and an engrossing narrative. About a cunning yet incredibly likeable cab driver who sees a way out of lifelong poverty, the film is based on the same-name New York Times best seller; stars one of its producers, Priyanka Chopra Jonas; and sat atop the Netflix Top 10 in 64 countries.
Is there anything Andrew Garfield can't do? Be it scaling the walls with spidery finess, praying to Jesus as a fraudulent televangelist, or waging social war with his best friend over a tech company, the actor is a screen chameleon. In Lin-Manuel Miranda's stage-to-reel production, Garfield transforms again—this time into a theater composer on the verge of creating his most iconic piece of work yet: a little play called Rent.
Subdued yet purposeful, Alan Yang's feature debut is a must-see. About a Taiwanese factory worker who leaves his home and the love of his life for a better future in the States, Tigertail is an ode to the immigrant experience. Loosely based on his own story as a child of immigrant parents, Yang's film illustrates that the journey is not without its loss and regret, but with time, hopefully the rewards outweigh all that was lost.

City Hall ends the JF Viva program and establishes the end of the health emergency situation
The Prefecture of Juiz de Fora (PJF) will publish this Tuesday, 17, a decree establishing the closure of Juiz Fora Viva, the revocation of the technical notes of the municipal program to combat the pandemic, and the end of the emergency situation in public health in as a result of human infection by the Coronavirus in Juiz de Fora. The Juiz de Fora Viva Committee remains in operation for constant monitoring of the epidemiological scenario of Juiz de Fora, under the coordination of the Secretariat for Sustainable and Inclusive Development, Innovation and Competitiveness (Sedic), with the participation of the Government Secretariat (SG), the Secretariat of Sustainability, Environment and Urban Activities of Juiz de Fora (Sesmaur), the Health Department (SS), the Tourism Department (Setur) and the Juiz de Fora Consumer Protection and Defense Agency (Procon/JF).
The end of the program, launched in September 2021, considers the high vaccination coverage in the municipality of Juiz de Fora; the improvement in the epidemiological scenario, with a downward trend and stability of all pandemic monitoring indicators; and the low occupancy rates of ICU and ward beds for Covid patients.
use of masks
With the end of the program and the revocation of the technical notes, economic activities are released in their entirety. The use of protective masks also becomes optional in any space, including transport, elevators and health facilities.
“The City Hall maintains the recommendation of the use of masks by symptomatic people or people potentially in contact with transmitters; with cold and flu symptoms; health and public service professionals; individuals not vaccinated against Covid-19 or who received incomplete immunization (less than three doses); and immunosuppressed”, explains the secretary of Sedic, Ignacio Delgado. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/05/17/city-hall-ends-the-jf-viva-program-and-establishes-the-end-of-the-health-emergency-situation-portal-pjf/ | 2022-05-17T00:03:34Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/05/17/city-hall-ends-the-jf-viva-program-and-establishes-the-end-of-the-health-emergency-situation-portal-pjf/ | false | 1 |
Chris Reid has been named the new Humble boys’ basketball coach.
Reid takes over for Lair Crawford who recently was named the boys’ basketball coach at Porter.
Reid met with his team after being hired and is excited about the new journey of leading the Wildcats’ program.
“They were very welcoming and exciting,” said Reid about meeting his new team. “I explained to them that I just want to build relationships with them and be the best coach I can be for them off and on the court. The lineage of coaches has been great, and I feel obligated to come in and work as hard as I can.”
Reid comes over from Cameron Yoe and has had stop at Madisonville, Rowlett, and other schools as well.
The 41-year-old wants to come in and lay the foundation for his culture on the hardwood for the Wildcats.
Reid comes into a program that has not made the playoffs in two seasons.
The Wildcats had a 26-year playoff streak snapped and are looking to get back into the playoffs.
Reid will step into a new program that will be in the toughest district in the state of Texas despite classification.
Atascocita, Summer Creek, C.E. King, Beaumont West Brook, Beaumont United, Kingwood and North Shore are in District 21-6A after realignment in February.
Atascocita has been to the state tournament the past two seasons and United moves up to Class 6A after spending two seasons in Class 5A where the Timberwolves have won back-to-back state titles.
Last season it came down to the very last district game to see who would make it in the playoffs and it will likely be the same situation.
“I feel like being in a district like that will bring out the best of the kids, myself and the coaching staff,” said Reid about District 21-6A. “It’s all about competing at the highest level and night in and night out you always want a challenge. I have never shied away from a challenge.”
Humble lost its last ever game in the Larry Johnson Gymnasium last season and will open up a brand-new gym in the fall.
The “Purple Pit” will remain legendry in the Humble community, but the new gym will have a new tradition. Reid is looking forward to getting into the gym when it’s complete and lighting up the scoreboard and get the runnin’ Wildcats back.
“The opportunity doesn’t come often,” said Reid on opening a new gym. “Getting a new gym means we can start fresh. We will always respect the past and we look forward to getting a lot of wins in the new gym. I’m very grateful for this opportunity to be the new Humble boy’s coach. The community is really supportive and it’s a great group of kids. I’m excited to get things going.”

Babies over 6 months can have whole cow’s milk if formula is not available, experts say
(CNN) - Babies over six months of age can have whole cow’s milk, according to a new recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The new guidance comes amid the infant formula shortage in the United States.
The AAP says whole cow’s milk is an option for older babies if formula is not available, as long as the child doesn’t need a specialty formula for allergies or other health needs.
However, the AAP says cow’s milk isn’t ideal, but it is better than diluting formula or trying to make it at home.
If you must feed your baby cow’s milk, it should be limited to 24 ounces per day, the AAP says.
In addition, toddler formula can be substituted for regular infant formula for babies who are close to a year of age.

Mali junta says it thwarted coup attempt
Issued on:
Bamako (AFP) – Mali's military junta on Monday said it thwarted an attempted coup last week led by army officers and supported by an unnamed Western state.
The statement read out on state television said a "small group of anti-progressive Malian officers and non-commissioned officers attempted a coup in the night of May 11 to 12, 2022".
"These soldiers were supported by a Western state. The attempt was thwarted thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of the defence and security forces."
The statement gave few details on what allegedly happened.
It mentioned arrests and said the detainees would be handed over to justice. Their identity and whereabouts were not revealed.
It added that checks have been strengthened around the capital Bamako and at Mali's borders.
A military source speaking on condition of anonymity spoke of around 10 arrests and said others were underway.
The government statement said "all necessary means" were being mobilised for the investigation and to find accomplices.
No indication of the attempted coup that reportedly happened last week had surfaced until Monday evening.
Mali has undergone two military coups since August 2020, when the army ousted elected president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.
The West African state has been fighting a jihadist insurgency against groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group since 2012 in the north and centre of the country.
The fighting has also spread to neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso.
The country's military-dominated government has broken with traditional partner France and forged closer ties with Russia in its battle against the jihadists.
It had pledged to return power to civilians by February 2022 but has since extended the timetable, incurring regional sanctions.

The Real Housewives of Miami stars Lisa and Lenny Hochstein have called it quits after 12 years of marriage. Lenny confirmed the news on Monday after a video of him with another woman surfaced over the weekend.
Lisa told ET that she was startled by his announcement. "With two young children involved, as a mom I’m going to focus all of my energy and time on them," her spokesperson told ET. "I'm blindsided by his behavior and reckless handling of the situation."
The couple has two children together, son Logan, 6, and daughter Elle, 2.
Lenny told Page Six on Monday that he had denied the rumors at first in order to protect his family. "This is a very difficult time," he said. "I would ask for some privacy so that we can best take care of our children who mean the world to us."
Lenny has not yet filed for divorce, though he told the website that he is now dating Austrian model Katharina Mazepa.

Charles Leclerc says he has ‘all the bad luck in the world’ after crashing three-time Formula One champion Niki Lauda’s iconic £1million 1974 Ferrari.
The 24-year-old, who was born and bred in Monaco, has not had much luck back in his hometown of late, after missing out on the Monaco Grand Prix due to a gearbox issue last year.
And, that bad luck extended to the Monaco Historic Grand Prix on Sunday, as Leclerc lost control of the car approaching La Rascasse, before spinning back into the barrier.
The car was the one Lauda, who passed away in 2019, drove 48 years ago before he became F1 champion.
“I lost the brakes. I lost the brakes,” he said, after the incident. “I braked, the pedal was hard, and it went to the floor.
“I was lucky to have it at that moment, because if I had had it at another place, it was no good… the problem is that I got scared. I arrived normally in the corner.”
He then took to social media to make light of the situation, which could have ended up worse than it did.
He tweeted: “When you thought you already had all the bad luck of the world in Monaco and you lose the brakes into Rascasse with one of the most iconic historical Ferrari Formula 1 cars.”
Leclerc is not the first person to crash the 1974 Ferrari, after former F1 driver Jean Alesi did exactly the same thing in Monaco last year, which might make him feel slightly better!
Leclerc will hope for better fortune at the actual Monaco GP, which takes place on May 29. | https://talksport.com/sport/motorsport/1110500/charles-leclerc-bad-luck-crashing-niki-lauda-ferrari-monaco-historic-grand-prix/ | 2022-05-17T00:09:59Z | https://talksport.com/sport/motorsport/1110500/charles-leclerc-bad-luck-crashing-niki-lauda-ferrari-monaco-historic-grand-prix/ | false | 1 |
SILVER SPRING, Md., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is announcing important updates on its ongoing work to increase the supply and availability of infant formula in the U.S. On Feb. 17, the agency warned consumers not to use certain powdered infant formula products from Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis, Michigan infant formula production facility, and Abbott voluntarily ceased production at this facility as well as initiated a voluntary recall of certain products.
Today, a proposed consent decree of permanent injunction between the FDA and Abbott Nutrition, as well as three Abbott principals, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. Under the proposed consent decree, which is subject to court approval and entry, Abbott has agreed to take corrective actions following an FDA inspection of its Sturgis, Michigan facility. The proposed consent decree obliges Abbott to take actions that are expected to ultimately result in an increase of infant formula products, while ensuring that the company undertakes certain actions that would ensure safe powdered infant formula is produced at the facility. When the company decides to restart production at this facility, it must conform with the provisions of the proposed consent decree and meet FDA food safety standards. If contamination is identified, the company must notify the FDA, identify the source of the problem and conduct a root-cause investigation before resuming production.
"Today's action means that Abbott Nutrition has agreed to address certain issues that the agency identified at their infant formula production facility in Michigan. The public should rest assured that the agency will do everything possible to continue ensuring that infant and other specialty formulas produced by the company meet the FDA's safety and quality standards, which American consumers have come to expect and deserve," said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. "We recognize the hardships that parents and caregivers have faced in obtaining infant formula and the FDA is focused on boosting the availability of the country's supply of these products, including new steps regarding importation. We are also taking a look at the supply of infant formulas developed by manufacturers across the country and around the world to determine if a reallocation of their distribution can be made to help get the right product to the right place, at the right time."
In the complaint, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the FDA, the government alleges that powdered infant formula products manufactured at Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis facility were adulterated because they were made under insanitary conditions and in violation of current good manufacturing practice requirements. On Jan. 31, the FDA commenced a for-cause inspection and identified Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacterium that can potentially cause severe foodborne illness primarily in infants, in the facility and observed significant operational deficiencies. While the agency's inspection was ongoing, Abbott Nutrition voluntarily recalled certain powdered infant formula products and voluntarily shut down its facility to implement corrective actions that address issues raised by the FDA.
Under the proposed consent decree, Abbott Nutrition will be required to retain an independent expert to review the Sturgis facility's operations to ensure compliance with the law. It also includes requirements for testing products, as well as ceasing production, and promptly notifying the FDA should contamination be detected. The proposed consent decree also requires the implementation of a sanitation plan, environmental monitoring plan and employee training programs.
In the meantime, the FDA is also continuing to implement several important steps to improve the supply of infant and specialty formula products in the U.S. The agency has been in ongoing discussions with all infant formula manufacturers who are reporting that they are all producing at an expanded capacity. In fact, Gerber has reported that it increased the amount of their infant formula available to consumers by approximately 50% in March and April and Reckitt is supplying more than 30% more product year to date.
This increased production is now evident in increased infant formula sales. According to data from Information Resources Inc. (IRI), national infant formula sales by volume for the month of April were up more than 13% compared to the month prior to the recall and national infant formula sales by unit for the month of April are also up by more than 5% compared to the month prior to the recall.
While some data suppliers have reported lower in-stock rates, the most complete data sets available from IRI are showing nearly 80% in-stock rates at the week ending May 8. This means that if a local supermarket normally carries 50 different infant formula products, an 80% in-stock rate would translate to 40 of those 50 product types being available.
What the sales volume data and in-stock rates tell us is that while there is more product being sold, it may be of less variety than prior to the recall. With increased production by other manufacturers, forthcoming import actions and the potential for Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis facility to resume production in the near-term, the FDA expects supply to continue to improve over the next couple of months. The FDA recognizes that there is variation in availability throughout the country and is working with federal partners to better understand where shortages of certain formulas exist at a more local level, as well as explore further ways to alleviate more immediate and geographical supply challenges through better distribution of products.
Increased sales are a good indicator of formula available to the general population of infants, but the agency understands that availability of specialty products such as amino acid-based specialty formulas and metabolic products continues to be of concern. The FDA has already taken steps with Abbott Nutrition to make product available to those with life-threatening conditions on a case-by-case basis and will continue its efforts to make these products even more readily available as the agency works with the company to implement provisions of the proposed consent decree. In addition, these products have been an area of focus for discussions with other manufacturers that make comparable products. As a result of the recall and work with the FDA, other manufacturers have increased production of comparable product lines and in some cases expedited the importation of these products where they exist.
The agency is also looking at ways to mitigate future, potential supply issues including building on work to date with its 21 Forward supply chain continuity system. It has made requests for new authorities from Congress to allow the FDA to regularly collect important supply data from the broader infant formula industry and is continuing to implement several important steps to improve supply.
The FDA is committed to transparently communicating updates on this dynamic situation. The agency will continue to dedicate all available resources to help ensure that infant formula products remain safe and available for use in the U.S. and will keep the public informed of progress updates.

I do expect the Warriors to use Jonathan Kuminga for small stretches on Luka Doncic. Possibly early in quarters before they near bonus because Kuminga is aggressive and Luka is a foul magnet.

Credit Luka Doncic, Jason Kidd and the Mavs. They made good adjustments, took away Chris Paul’s spots, neutralized Devin Booker and dominated at home. Then played with nothing to lose in Game 7 and absolutely steamrolled the NBA’s No. 1 seed on the road – 9:57 PM

The problem for the Suns now is to come back down this much means they will have to depend on historically bad play from Luka going forward. Not getting fouled. Missing most of his shots. Or they double and the Mavs other guys fail to make easy plays. None of those are likely. – 8:52 PM

Chilean filmmaker sentenced to five years for sexual abuse
SANTIAGO (AP) - Chilean director Nicolás López, one of the country's highest-profile filmmakers, was sentenced Monday to five years in prison for sexual abuse against two actresses.
The sentence coincided with what was requested by prosecutors after a court found him guilty at the end of April. In that verdict, the court absolved López of rape charges because judges determined there was not enough proof.
The filmmaker has insisted he is innocent of any wrongdoing. His lawyers asked for a far lesser punishment, saying he should receive two sentences of 61 days each that would not require time behind bars.
The prosecution alleged López "took advantage of work meetings to attack" victims, using his position to commit the crimes that took place between 2004 and 2016.
When he was first accused, in June 2018, López was the Chilean filmmaker with the most success at the box office.
The 39-year-old director was known for films including the "Que pena tu vida" trilogy as well as "Promedio rojo" and "Sin filtro." López had succesfully entered the Mexican market with "Dulce familia," which premiered in May 2019.
During the trial, prosecutors said López took several months to hand over his mobile phone to investigators and did so only after deleting 2,700 messages from the messaging platform WhatsApp. Law enforcement was able to recover the mesages in which the filmmaker referred to the instances in which he was accused.
The judicial investigation of López began after local newspaper El Mercurio published a story in mid-2018 in which eight women, including three actresses, accused him of harassment and abuse.
Other actresses came out in his defense. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10823153/Chilean-filmmaker-sentenced-five-years-sexual-abuse.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-17T00:18:15Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10823153/Chilean-filmmaker-sentenced-five-years-sexual-abuse.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 6 |
Inside Ty Bothwell's Seven-Inning, No-Hit Gem in 12-0 Win Over Minnesota
Ty Bothwell leaped off the mound, pumping his fist into his glove and displaying the pure emotion that built up during seven innings of intense focus. He gave his catcher Peter Serruto a bear hug, and it only took a few seconds before Bothwell was engulfed by a herd of Hoosiers sprinting from the dugout.
Bothwell had just pitched seven innings without giving up a hit. Bradley Brehmer started the game the day before, on Friday, but thunderstorms forced Indiana and Minnesota to finish the contest on Saturday. Bothwell was the only pitcher Indiana would need to finish off its 12-0 win, and no one could touch him.
"Guys were just so excited and genuinely happy for him as their teammate," Indiana head coach Jeff Mercer said. "[They] just loved and supported him for such a terrific outing."
Bothwell struck out eight of the 23 batters he faced on Saturday, which was a season-high for the redshirt junior from Hebron, Ind. He struck out the side in the fourth inning and didn't allow a baserunner until a walk in the sixth inning, but he picked off the runner, anyways.
“It was a fantastic experience," Bothwell said. "I came in kind of treating it like a start. Brad gave us two really good innings yesterday, and I was just trying to fill in the great work that he put in. I just wanted to do my job for the team."
On the final play of the game, Bothwell induced a ground ball to Indiana second baseman Tyler Doanes. The baserunner attempted to sneak under his glove, but Doanes tagged him and quickly threw the ball to first for a double play. Bothwell has struggled at times facing hitters multiple times through the order, but he said Indiana's "brick-wall" defense allowed him to pitch deep into the game for the no-hit performance.
"It wasn’t really about me," Bothwell said. "It was about everybody out there. I couldn’t have done it without any of my teammates."
Saturday was Bothwell's longest outing of the year by two innings. He said he didn't expect to go as far as he did, but he got a boost of adrenaline every time another zero went up on the scoreboard.
Mercer said he chose Bothwell to start in the continuation game partly because it was a favorable matchup. Minnesota stacked its lineup with five left-handed hitters to face the right-hander Brehmer on Friday, and Mercer countered this by starting the left-handed Bothwell when the game resumed on Saturday.
Mercer said the biggest change for Bothwell has been an increased level of confidence. Bothwell's breaking ball has always been his put-away pitch, but Mercer said Bothwell's game reaches new heights when he has the confidence to throw his fastball with conviction.
Bothwell's reliable breaking ball was working all afternoon on Saturday, and the newfound confidence in his fastball kept Minnesota hitters guessing.

"For [Bothwell], he’s anywhere from 86 to 96, and when he’s good he’s 90-93 and really attacking with his fastball," Mercer said. "It just has some really unique properties to it, it garners a lot of swings and misses. When he’s confident and he’s downhill and attacking with it, it’s a really hard pitch to hit for anybody."
Since arriving in Bloomington, Bothwell has added significant speed to his fastball. He said he can't really explain how, but it could be the 50 pounds he's added since his freshman season or his trust in Indiana's throwing program. Bothwell didn't believe he could command his fastball because of control issues at the start of the season. But over the last month, he decided to trust himself to stay in the zone, and it's shown in his descending ERA.
After his first six appearances spanning 6.2 innings, Bothwell gave up 11 earned runs for a 14.85 ERA. But in his six most recent outings, he has covered 21 innings with three earned runs and 31 strikeouts. Bothwell now has an Indiana-best 4.01 ERA.
"Knowing I had guys behind me that believed in me, that really helped me too,” Bothwell said.
With four games left in the regular season, Bothwell is playing his best baseball of the season, and so are the Hoosiers. Indiana defeated Minnesota twice this weekend to win their fourth consecutive series.
At 10-11 in conference play, Indiana is tied with Michigan for sixth place in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers host Illinois State at 6 p.m. on Tuesday night for their final home game of the year before heading to Iowa for a three game series.
The top eight teams in the conference qualify for the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha, Neb. beginning on May 25, and for Mercer, it's all about getting hot at the right time.
"Your goal as a coach is to have your team get better over the course of the year and be playing its best baseball at the end of the season and the last month," Mercer said. "If you do that, as a coach you feel like you’ve accomplished your goals."

$11.2 million investment for Illinois family planning services
SPRINGFIELD (WGEM) - The Pritzker administration celebrated $11.2 million in grants for family planning services in low-income communities across Illinois Monday afternoon. State leaders say this will support access to Title X services that were restricted under the Trump administration.
Title X allows people to receive affordable birth control and reproductive health care services regardless of their income or health insurance. President Joe Biden has reversed a federal gag rule that prevented family planning clinics from referring patients to abortion providers.
Illinois received $5.4 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to expand access to affordable family planning services for uninsured people. State lawmakers already appropriated another $5.8 million in the Fiscal Year 2023 budget to support the 29 agencies that run 98 family planning clinics in Illinois.
These providers allow patients to receive testing for HIV, treatment for breast and cervical cancer, and reproductive health care. Gov. JB Pritzker said this announcement is critical, especially as the U.S. Senate failed to pass a plan to codify Roe v. Wade last week.
“Let this record-breaking investment remind women that the state of Illinois trusts you to make your own decisions - to choose what contraceptives are right for you, to choose whether you want to be a parent or not and when,” Pritzker said.
Pritzker stressed that these clinics provide the fundamentals of health care for some of the state’s most vulnerable residents. Illinois family planning clinics have helped more than 150,000 patients over the past few years.
The Illinois Department of Public Health says low-income people and those who may be underinsured should always have access to high-quality and affordable health care services they need. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Arti Barnes said the family planning program provides culturally-sensitive and responsive services that are vital to the health and safety of tens of thousands of people across the state. She noted that roughly 80% of the people served were under the federal poverty level.
“IFPP provides a whole range of contraceptive options with a focus on client-centered decision making that really best fits their reproductive life plan,” Barnes said. “The program provides pre-conception counseling, infertility education, referrals, physical exams, health screenings, blood pressure checks, weight checks, pap smears, and of course pregnancy testing and options as well as sexually-transmitted infection testing and treatment.”
Barnes said the Trump administration’s gag rule restricted IDPH and the network of family planning clinics to maintain services for clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. She noted Illinois was only able to get the job done due to support from Pritzker and members of the General Assembly.
“We understand that self-determination and bodily autonomy of women and individuals assigned female at birth is a fundamental human right,” said Sen. Cristina Pacione-Zayas (D-Chicago).
Pritzker said he couldn’t ensure funding for the program would be safe if a Republican became governor or president. Whether Democrat or Republican, Pritzker argues leaders must be pro-choice and believe in family planning.
“They need to believe in providing health care for women and meeting the needs of women across our state and our nation,” Pritzker said.
Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton stood alongside Pritzker and other advocates while wearing a pin stating “keep abortion legal.” Stratton noted the right to choose is about the freedom to live healthy and well. She also feels it is about empowerment passed down over generations. Stratton said each generation dreamed of better futures for daughters to come.
“So what do I tell my daughters who are in danger of losing rights that I had? I tell them that we are not going back,” Stratton said. “We are going forward, and today we take an important step in this journey by restoring millions of dollars in funding for Title X.”

Gizelle Bryant's Pastor Ex Jamal Apologizes To Kevin Samuels' Family For Backhanded Remarks As They Debunk GoFundMe Rumors
May. 16 2022, Published 5:32 p.m. ET
Pastor Jamal Bryant issued a formal apology to Kevin Samuels' family after slamming the controversial YouTube star in the wake of his shocking death.
Bryant, also known for being Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle's ex-husband, expressed his remorse for commenting on Samuels during a Mother's Day sermon.
"Benjamin Franklin once said, 'the best way to mess up an apology is to add an excuse.' I extend my deepest condolences and apologies to #kevinsamuels' family and friends. Thank you to all who purposed to keep me accountable," Bryant wrote via Instagram alongside a video of his public apology at the church. "We grow from mistakes and birth maturity. Humility will always defeat arrogance. We grow as we go!"
During a past sermon, Bryant addressed a video that the image consultant had shared before his passing, in which he called unmarried women over 35 "leftovers."
Bryant then questioned churchgoers, "How can a man say you are of low value after 35?" He followed up by asking how Samuels could make such outlandish claims when "that man has to get a GoFundMe for his funeral."
Sources close to Samuels have since told TMZ the GoFundMe campaign circulating online is fake, adding, "GoFundMe offered Kevin's family the few hundred bucks raised on the fake page, but they refused to accept it, so it was returned to donors."
Singer Omarion was one of many who criticized Bryant's previous sermon, slamming him for not having more "compassion" after Samuels died from a speculated heart attack on May 5.
According to reports, the social media star and dating guru was found unresponsive on the floor of his Atlanta apartment.
T.I. also took to social media to defend Samuels, writing, "Whatever he did, he did it and [he's] gone. He got away with it, f--k ya. That's between him and God. Him and the Lord gon' have to deal with it. You ain't got no heaven or hell to put him in."
The lifestyle coach was 57 at the time of his passing. His sudden death was confirmed by the Atlanta Police Department and his mother. | https://radaronline.com/p/jamal-bryant-apologizes-for-kevin-samuels-comments/ | 2022-05-17T00:34:36Z | https://radaronline.com/p/jamal-bryant-apologizes-for-kevin-samuels-comments/ | true | 1 |
Expect more traditional playoff hockey in NHL’s 2nd round
By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Hockey Writer
The start of the NHL playoffs included more penalties called than any other first round in almost a decade. Referees even whistled more per game than the regular season. The first week also featured more blowouts than one-goal games and a scarcity of comebacks. The second round should look more like old-school traditional playoff hockey after the end of the first began to show signs of change. Given a lack of upsets, the eight teams are left vying for the Stanley Cup with some of the league’s best. That also should ratchet up the quality of play. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/16/expect-more-traditional-playoff-hockey-in-nhls-2nd-round/ | 2022-05-17T00:35:26Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/16/expect-more-traditional-playoff-hockey-in-nhls-2nd-round/ | false | null |

- Announces revenue of $10.8 million
- Reaffirms 2022 Revenue Guidance to Exceed $43 Million
LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Realities, Inc. ("Creative Realities," "CRI," or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CREX, CREXW), a leading provider of digital signage solutions, announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer, commented "During the first quarter of 2022, we completed financing activities and closed on our previously announced acquisition of Reflect Systems, Inc. ("Reflect"). Customers spoke immediately, with Creative Realities and Reflect initially winning a $10 million customer project which began in February and will continue deployment through the first quarter of 2023. Despite combined company results which include only 44 days with Reflect in our consolidated results, we produced record revenue of approximately $10.8 million. Our current client base continues to expand, as evidenced by the expansion in our annual recurring run-rate to in excess of $13.5 million per year. Our pipeline for potential new logos and new clients has never been more robust."
Mr. Mills continued, "Our primary focus remains in expanding the number of SaaS devices managed via our digital signage software, in turn increasing the value of our Company through increasing in our annual recurring services revenue. As we grow the software subscription base and continue to integrate Creative Realities and Reflect, we expect to further enhance our operating leverage and improve financial results."
"With the expansion of our SaaS revenue and the momentum within our pipeline, we reiterate our expected target to generate revenue in excess of $43 million during 2022, which would represent an organic growth rate in excess of 40% on a pro forma, combined company basis as compared to 2021. We remain on track to deliver 25% growth in our annual recurring revenue on a pro forma, combined company basis in 2022."
Mr. Mills concluded, "We are proud about the work we have completed thus far, but remain even more engaged and excited about what is to come for Creative Realities. We are positioned to service enterprise customers with our end-to-end offering and to drive profitability through our increased scale."
All results herein represent the financial results of Creative Realities, Inc. and include financial results for Reflect Systems, Inc. for the period February 17, 2022 – March 31, 2022 during which Reflect operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Realities following their merger on February 17, 2022.
Key Highlights:
- Revenue growth of $5.8 million, or 115%
- Annual Recurring Revenue run-rate exceeds $13.5 million
Revenue, gross profit, and gross margin:
- Revenues were $10.8 million, representing an increase of $5.8 million, or 115%, as compared to the same period in 2021 despite a reduction in revenues generated from the sale of our Safe Space Solutions products and services of $0.9 million. Revenues generated from our core digital signage products and services increased $6.6 million, or 133% in 2022 as compared to 2021, despite continued supply chain disruptions related to semiconductor chips delaying the delivery of digital displays and media players to the Company.
- CRI acquired Reflect on February 17, 2022, and the Company's consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 include 44 days of Reflect's operations. Had the companies completed the Merger as of December 31, 2021, the combined company would have revenue in excess of $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
- Hardware revenues were $6.5 million in 2022, an increase of $3.6 million, or 129%, as compared to the prior year. Services and other revenues were $4.3 million in 2022, an increase of $2.1 million, or 96% with the inclusion of 44 days of Reflect in the consolidated results.
- Managed services revenue, which includes both software-as-a-service ("SaaS") and help desk technical subscription services, were $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2021, which included $0.8 million contributed by Reflect in the 44 days from February 17 – March 31, 2022. The Company's annual recurring revenue run-rate exceeds $13.5 million as of March 31, 2022.
- Gross profit increased by $1.7 million, or 74% driven by an increase in revenue but offset by a reduction in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased to 36.2% from 44.6% driven by a shift in revenue mix to 60% hardware in the first quarter of 2022 related to a material customer rollout underway. We expect this contraction in gross profit margin to be less severe as we move into the second quarter of 2022 and beyond, with significant pressure in the current quarter driving by a single, large-scale/hardware-heavy deployment.
Operating expenses:
- Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 111%, from $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven by the acquisition of Reflect during the period. Immediately following the acquisition of Reflect, the company integrated the sales and marketing functions and does not disaggregate these expenses between the two legacy companies. Through the acquisition and integration activities, the Company has adopted certain tools, technology, and processes – particularly with respect to digital marketing utilized to generate demand and qualified sales leads – that were only minimally invested into by Creative Realities in the past. Additionally, the Company formally engaged an investor relations firm, HaydenIR, and has increased investor relations activities, including conferences and presentations. As a result, we expect the sales and marketing expenses of the combined company to continue at the current pace for future periods.
- Research and development expenses increased $0.1 million, or 41% in 2022, from $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven primarily by the acquisition of Reflect. Through the acquisition of Reflect, we acquired a fully staffed, experienced software development team and elected to keep these resources intact, in full, particularly given employment market conditions with respect to talented software engineers. We have integrated the pre-existing CRI development team with the acquired team and have experienced speed to market on feature and functionality development activities from enhancing this resource pool. We expect this elevated level of expense to continue into the future as we continue to develop our current and future product set.
- General and administrative expenses – excluding bad debt expense – increased $0.6 million, or 31%, from $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven by the acquisition of Reflect. While the company anticipates carrying higher general and administrative expenses moving forward as a result of the acquisition of Reflect, the integration activities include several projects that we expect will be realized by the end of 2022. Bad debt expense returned to a more normalized rate of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $0.6 million as compared to 2021 as the result of a bankruptcy recovery in the same period in 2021. Our general and administrative expenses also include $0.6 million in non-cash stock compensation expenses.
Operating loss, net income, and EBITDA:
- Operating loss was $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, inclusive of the following $1.7 million in non-cash charges:
- Net income was $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 including:
- EBITDA was $4.1 million in 2022, with Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6% during the period.
The Company will host a webinar to review the results and provide additional commentary about the Company's recent performance and the Reflect merger, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at 9:00 am Eastern Time.
Prior to the call, participants should register at bit.ly/CRIearnings2022Q1.

Creative Realities helps clients use place-based digital media to achieve business objectives such as increased revenue, enhanced customer experiences, and improved productivity. The company designs, develops and deploys digital signage experiences for enterprise-level networks, and is actively providing recurring SaaS and support services across diverse vertical markets, including but not limited to retail, automotive, digital-out-of-home (DOOH) advertising networks, convenience stores, foodservice/QSR, gaming, theater, and stadium venues.
With its recent acquisition of Reflect Systems, Inc., a leading provider of digital signage software platforms, the company is poised to extend its product and service offering and accelerate growth in SaaS revenue. While Reflect provided a broad range of digital signage solutions, Reflect's flagship products are the market-leading ReflectView digital signage platform and Reflect AdLogic ad management platform. ReflectView is the industry's most comprehensive, scalable, enterprise-grade digital signage platform, powering enterprise customer networks. Meanwhile, Reflect AdLogic has become the benchmark for digital signage powered ad networks, delivering nearly 50 million ads daily. The acquisition of Reflect also brought to the Company a media sales division with the expertise and relationships to help any digital signage venue owner develop and execute a monetization plan for their network.
The combined company has operations across North America with active installations in more than 10 countries.
Creative Realities, Inc. prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA." CRI defines "EBITDA" as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. CRI defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, fair value adjustments and both cash and non-cash non-recurring gains and charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used internally in planning and evaluating the Company's operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the Company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or to net cash used in operating activities as measures of operating results or liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and the measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company's performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income/(loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET LOSS TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
(in thousands, unaudited)
Creative Realities, Inc. prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA." CRI defines "EBITDA" as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. CRI defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, fair value adjustments and both cash and non-cash non-recurring gains and charges.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of CRI's profitability or liquidity. CRI's management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful financial metrics because they allow external users of CRI's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate CRI's operating performance, compare the results of its operations from period to period and against CRI's peers without regard to CRI's financing methods, hedging positions or capital structure and because it highlights trends in CRI's business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. CRI also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of its performance that are frequently used by others in evaluating companies in its industry. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA CRI presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, CRI's most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Body of missing 7-year-old boy found in Alaska, police say
KODIAK, Alaska (KTUU/Gray News) – Officials in Alaska confirmed they found the body of a 7-year-old boy who was reported missing on May 7.
Alaska State Troopers said the body of Sawyer Cipolla was found Sunday afternoon in the Pillar Mountain area, a few miles from his home in the city of Kodiak.
Troopers said there are no obvious signs of foul play.
Officials said a massive search effort for Sawyer included more than 2,500 volunteers as well as professional search and rescue teams, the U.S. Coast Guard, Alaska Army National Guard, U.S. Navy Seals, 14 search and rescue dogs, volunteer pilots and drone pilots.
Sawyer’s remains will be sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy as the investigation into the boy’s death continues.

Harrisburg, Pa. — What does a conservative upstart challenging a top House Republican in York County have in common with a scion of a Democratic political family facing a progressive primary in Philadelphia?
Despite differing priorities and positions, both candidates’ campaigns are beneficiaries of the political largess of billionaire Jeff Yass, a Montgomery County investor and Pennsylvania’s richest denizen.
A billionaire who turned gambling winnings into one of the largest stock trading companies in the U.S., Yass is a registered Libertarian, according to Pennsylvania Department of State records.
But his party registration hasn’t stopped him from pumping at least $18 million into this year’s Democratic and Republican primaries.
Among the beneficiaries: Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill McSwain, a conservative advocacy group that has a history of challenging Republican incumbents, and a handful of Philadelphia Democrats squaring off with progressives in the May 17 primary.
The common thread in Yass’ spending? Opinions vary.
Yass’ allies, including many who spend or have sought his dollars, argue he is a single-issue donor who backs candidates who support alternatives to public schools.
“It’s no secret,” longtime conservative activist Matt Brouillette said. “Where Jeff and [his wife] Janine invest their philanthropy and political dollars, they are passionate about getting kids to better schools.”
But critics from various political backgrounds argued Yass’ spending prioritizes peddling influence or inserting his ideology into both major parties, whether the issue is privatizing public schools or cutting taxes.
Yass’ personal net worth is valued at $12 billion, according to Forbes. And because of Pennsylvania’s lax campaign finance law, which allows individuals to donate unlimited amounts of cash to campaigns, Yass can write as many checks as he wants.
“This is about power for Jeffrey Yass,” said Eric Rosso, an organizer with the Working Families Party, a left-wing third party active in Philadelphia. “This is a billionaire wanting to exert his personal influence on the election.”
Since 2010, Yass has given $41.7 million to Students First, the Wynnewood-based political action committee he founded with two fellow traders. And over the years, Yass has increasingly become its sole funder, his donations growing bigger.
The PAC either gives directly to candidates, often Democrats, or funnels money to another committee, often ones linked to the school choice movement.
Yass did not directly respond to requests for comment. In an emailed statement, Students First PAC said it backed candidates who “have a track record of supporting educational choice or are philosophically supportive of educational choice,” and that its spending counterbalances the influence of teachers unions.
The PAC’s strongest financial relationship is with political organizations run by Brouillette, who says he met Yass sometime in the 2000s. Brouillette once ran the Commonwealth Foundation, a Harrisburg-based free-market think tank that’s part of a national network of similar organizations funded by top conservative donors.
In 2016, he transitioned to running Commonwealth Partners Chamber of Entrepreneurs, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit that can influence elections, to “put political punch” behind his policy goals.
Since 2018, Students First has poured at least $30.25 million into Brouillette’s two interconnected PACs — Commonwealth Children’s Choice Fund and Commonwealth Leaders Fund — according to Pennsylvania Department of State data. That total represents 78% of Students First’s spending during that time.
Commonwealth Children’s Choice Fund often donates directly to candidates, and Commonwealth Leaders Fund purchases mailers, TV, and digital ads to independently support or oppose candidates.
Those dollars have flowed to a number of mostly Republican causes, including independent ad buys attacking Democratic incumbents, as well as to GOP candidates in critical statewide races like one for an open state Supreme Court seat last year (Republican Kevin Brobson emerged victorious). Candidates across the ideological spectrum — from arch-conservative state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R., Franklin) to moderate suburban state Rep. Chris Quinn (R., Delaware) — have benefitted from this cash.
“Money follows value,” Brouillette added. “And we have demonstrated our ability to win elections.”
Students First did not address specific questions about Brouillette but said it donates to groups that “agree in writing” to use its donations solely to support candidates who, at the recipient’s discretion, support alternatives to public schools.
With so much money at stake, many Republican gubernatorial candidates sought out Brouillette’s endorsement. Initially, he backed McSwain, a former U.S. prosecutor who has run as an outsider and presented a tough-on-crime image.
Since Brouillette endorsed McSwain in January, Commonwealth Leaders Fund has spent $7.9 million on ads boosting McSwain’s profile and attacking the candidate’s competitors.
Commonwealth Children’s Choice Fund, meanwhile, gave McSwain $4.9 million in direct donations last month, one of the Republican establishment’s attempts to prevent Mastriano from becoming the GOP gubernatorial nominee.
In an email, the McSwain campaign said Brouillette chose him because of his early focus on education issues and pledge to “defend parents, students, and good teachers” with an education plan in mid-December 2021.
But just days before the primary, Commonwealth Partners Chamber of Entrepreneurs switched its endorsement from McSwain to former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta (R., Pa.). In a news release, Brouillette said McSwain and fellow candidate Dave White should drop out and endorse Barletta to prevent Mastriano from winning the primary.
According to the New York Times, Yass personally called McSwain recently to urge him to drop out for the same reason.
Mastriano, one of the loudest backers of false election fraud claims, was subpoenaed by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, and leads the polls in a crowded GOP field that he appears poised to win.
While McSwain hasn’t claimed there was widespread election fraud, he did send a letter to Donald Trump last year alleging ex-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr stopped him from investigating “possible election irregularities.” (Trump still denounced McSwain in April). Barletta, meanwhile, was on a list of alternate, pro-Trump electors, and claims that dead people vote by mail ballot.
Yass’ spending isn’t restricted to Pennsylvania. He’s a top donor to the Club for Growth, a national conservative political group that backed outgoing U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) as well as U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Josh Hawley (R., Mo.).
Those donations came under close scrutiny after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which occurred as lawmakers — including Cruz and Hawley — prepared to vote to reject Biden’s victory.
Laura Goldman, a former Wall Street stockbroker and friend of Yass, said at the time that Yass felt deceived by Club for Growth beneficiaries who tried to overturn the results.
Yass does not believe the election was stolen, he said in an email publicized by Goldman and confirmed as authentic by The Guardian.
‘I have a right to be supported’
Like McSwain’s campaign, Democratic beneficiaries of Yass’ money say he picked them for their stance on education.
State Sen. Anthony Williams (D., Philadelphia), whose father was also a state senator, has received more Yass money than any other Democrat this year.
Facing a serious primary challenge from a public school teacher with connections to a citywide progressive group, Williams and an associated PAC have received $215,000 from Yass-backed groups since 2021. That sum represents more than 31% of Williams’ total fundraising this election cycle.
Williams told Spotlight PA he first met Yass sometime before his unsuccessful 2010 run for governor. They were introduced by a mutual friend who knew they shared an interest in helping kids in low-performing schools.
His support for alternatives to public schools came from taking calls from parents who wanted to get their kids out of struggling city classrooms, Williams said. The only way was “if you knew somebody,” he said, and he decided to fight to give everyone the same opportunity to pick a new school.
The stance, Williams said, was unrelated to Yass’ frequent donations to his campaigns for state Senate, mayor of Philadelphia, or governor of Pennsylvania.
“I have a record on the issue, so I have a right to be supported,” he said.
At least four other Philadelphia Democrats have also received donations from Students First or Yass-linked PACs, including Commonwealth Children’s Choice Fund.
State Rep. Amen Brown faces two challengers in a newly drawn West Philadelphia district. Last month, Brown was also the only Democrat to vote for a bill that would establish a statewide voucher program for students in schools with low standardized test scores; after the vote was tallied though, he flipped his vote from for to against. Brown did not reply to a request for comment.
Yass-linked PACs have given Brown at least $62,500 since the start of 2021, or roughly 40% of his total donations in that same time period.
State Rep. Rick Krajewski was first elected in 2020 with the backing of a Philadelphia political group inspired by progressive icon U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D., Vt.).
He’s being challenged by James Wright, whose campaign has received $35,000 from Yass-linked PACs, or about 63% of his total donations. Wright’s campaign did not reply to a request for comment.
In an interview, Krajewski argued that the scale of Yass’ donations to Wright raised red flags.
“His interests aren’t the interests of a lot of working-class folks here in Philadelphia and in the state, and those people deserve a voice even if they don’t have a billionaire like Yass being able to push their agenda,” Krajewski said.
But Williams countered that attacks on Yass were a distraction from other issues, such as gun violence, that are more important to voters.
“It’s a way for somebody to have a campaign not based upon issues, not based upon record, not based upon performance, but based upon the optics and narrative,” Williams said. “I’m in debates where nobody talks about the level of violence and they talk about Jeff Yass. That’s weird to me.”
Progressive efforts to make Yass money politically toxic to Democrats are starting to have an impact. One candidate — state Rep. Isabella Fitzgerald, who is facing a fellow incumbent this May due to redistricting — returned a contribution from a Yass-funded PAC after it was reported by the Pennsylvania Capital-Star.
“The funds were returned because Jeffrey Yass does not represent what Rep. Fitzgerald stands for,” her campaign manager told the Capital-Star.
Students First said that “in an election between or among educational choice advocates, we are happy to provide moderate support to each candidate.”
When facing “a pro-union, special interest candidate,” the PAC said, it’s “willing to ensure that the pro-educational choice candidate is not outspent.”
Republican v. Republican
Yass’ money isn’t just causing intraparty divisions among Democrats. His dollars are also financing a number of competitive Republican legislative primaries against top incumbents.
In March, Students First donated $1.2 million to Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania, a PAC that has a long history of successfully challenging legislative Republicans for not being conservative enough. That amount represents almost 95% of what the PAC has raised this year.
CAP is currently backing three primary challengers, as well as one incumbent who was drawn into a race with another incumbent as part of redistricting.
Wendy Fink, a conservative former school board candidate in York County who is running against House Appropriations Committee Chair Stan Saylor, has received at least $265,000 from Citizens Alliance, according to a campaign finance report.
Fink’s website says she has an “unwavering commitment to freedom, capitalism, and the constitution,” while CAP-funded ads have attacked Saylor’s record on pensions, Gov. Tom Wolf’s budgets, and the gas tax. Fink did not reply to a request for comment.
Leo Knepper, executive director of CAP, said he’s never had a conversation with Yass. But speaking broadly of the group’s donors, he argued they all share a commitment to an ideology of personal liberty and free markets — “classical liberal values.”
They also share a skepticism of the Republican Party, he added, for breaking with those values.
In an interview, Saylor said Yass’ prolific donations were a reason to distrust those who receive his aid.
In particular, he pointed to Students First’s support for House Minority Whip Jordan Harris (D., Philadelphia), who has received more than $800,000 since 2012; and Josh Shapiro, the only Democrat running for governor, who received $125,000 during his 2016 attorney general campaign.
“Is he trying to buy people?” Saylor said. “That’s the question, because he’s not giving to all conservatives or all liberals. He picks and chooses, and is it who he thinks he can control? Because I don’t know why else you would be giving to all sides of the political spectrum.”
Saylor tried to downplay the extent of Yass’ donations to Republicans. He received $6,500 from Students First before 2016 and $5,000 from the Brouillette-run Commonwealth Children’s Choice Fund in 2021.
To Working Families Party activist Rosso, Yass’ bipartisan investments hint that the accomplished gambler is hedging his bets.
Rather than putting it all on blue or red, Rosso said, Yass “wants to have elected officials who he is close to,” that he “can pick up the phone and exert [his] influence on, no matter what the question is in front of them.”
Samuel Chen, a political strategist who has worked for former U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent (R., Pa.) and Toomey, said he’s had clients ask to meet with Brouillette because they think he has enough money to “choose the next governor.”
However, unlike Rosso, Chen argued Yass’ goals, like those of other modern super-donors, are driven less by a desire to call in favors and more by Yass’ hope to shape Pennsylvania politicians to his own worldview.
“They are not mercenaries,” Chen said. “They have an ideological agenda, but they want to control the shift in politics …They want to have some level of control of who gets in.”
Chen highlighted Yass’ position on the board of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, as proof of Yass’ ideology. The think tank argues for orthodox Republican positions on taxes and regulations but is also pro-immigration and criminal justice reform.
But with the resources and will to spend millions, the merits of his or any candidate’s ideology may not matter, Chen said, because Yass has enough to buy an election.
“We risk stifling debate when we do this,” Chen said. “It becomes who shouts the loudest and longest.”

A poll of 2,000 respondents revealed how well they feel on a daily basis.
It found a quarter of adults feel anxiety at least once a week and 40 per cent experience some kind of muscle ache most days. Almost six in 10 (57 per cent) say it’s a rarity they ever feel physically at the top of their game, while 61 per cent claim aches and pains are just part of their daily life.
An unbalanced diet, not doing enough exercise and not having enough hours in a day were among the main reasons people don’t feel good all the time.
A spokesperson for natural vitamin and supplement maker MyVybe, which conducted the study said:
“It is hard to be 100 per cent at all times and there will be things that bring us down. Especially as we get older, aches and strains and sniffles seem to seek us out more easily than when we were younger. However, that may also be a case of looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses as many youngsters also report similar issues.
“There are so many different ways we need to look after ourselves – both mentally and physically – that it can be a full-time job just staying on top of it.”
Brits also reckon they feel 100 per cent for just 10 hours and 12 minutes of an average 24-hour period – even when they’re asleep. Adults usually feel best in the morning, with the evening the time they’re most likely to struggle, after the long day is over.
In general, only 63 per cent of adults consider themselves healthy – while 23 per cent are currently dieting specifically to lose weight. To try and boost their wellbeing, 41 per cent have tried going to bed earlier and the same amount have made an effort to drink more water. A further four in 10 have upped their exercise levels, while more than one in four (27 per cent) have turned to supplements or vitamins.
Another tenth have done their best to boost themselves by booking in for a spa day, according to the OnePoll figures. However, 42 per cent believe implementing these actions into their lives on a more regular basis is too expensive, while 40 per cent think it takes up too much time. Nearly seven in 10 (68 per cent) have reached the point where they simply accept the days when they aren’t feeling 100 per cent well and wait for the next one.
MyVybe’s spokesperson added:
“No matter how often you feel down physically, there’s almost always something you can do to make things better. Small changes like drinking more water can give you more energy and getting more sleep can also make a huge difference.
“If you find, after years of working a desk job, that your back or shoulders aren’t in the best shape, there are exercises you can try, or you could test out a standing desk. Diet also plays a huge role – and if you find it hard to eat the right things all the time, then vitamins and supplements can help bridge some vitamin gaps in your diet.” | https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/200531-feeling/ | 2022-05-17T01:18:11Z | https://www.atvtoday.co.uk/200531-feeling/ | true | 8 |

Katherine Massey, an advocate for civil rights and education for her local Black community, was one of the 10 people killed Saturday at the Tops Market in Buffalo, New York. She was 72.
The alleged gunman, who also injured three other people, was arrested on the scene and charged with first-degree murder in what authorities have described as a “racially motivated hate crime.”
Massey’s family, who knew her as “Aunt Kat,” said they understood something was amiss after waiting hours by the scene of the shooting, hoping for information about her status.
They admitted they knew Massey was gone, but they didn’t want to believe it could be true, WGRZ 2 reported.
Massey had written for both The Challenger and The Buffalo Criterion, publications geared toward the city’s Black community. In a letter to The Buffalo News almost exactly a year before her death, she expressed concern about “the escalating gun violence in Buffalo and many major U.S. cities.”
“There needs to be extensive federal action/legislation to address all aspects of the issue,” Massey wrote.
“Current pursued remedies mainly inspired by mass killings ― namely, universal background checks and banning assault weapons ― essentially exclude the sources of our city’s gun problems,” she went on. “Illegal handguns, via out of state gun trafficking, are the primary culprits.”
Massey was a member of We Are Women Warriors, a community empowerment group that hosted a forum in February to deliberate over how to mitigate youth violence after an incident at a local high school.
The organization also set up a giveaway of masks and personal protective equipment for Buffalo residents following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Betty Jean Grant, a community activist who met Massey in 2001, said they grew We Are Women Warriors together.
Grant said Massey’s passion for Buffalo and loving spirit motivated her.
“She’s, in a true sense of the word, a warrior,” Grant said, according to WKBW. “She was a woman warrior and she really, really loved that title. She loved working and she loved helping people.”
Massey’s sister, Barbara Massey, told The Buffalo News that Katherine was “a beautiful soul.” Other family members said she was known for her sense of humor, and that she loved art and dancing.
“When he took her life, he just set her free even more,” said Adrienne Massey, Katherine’s niece, according to WGRZ.
Adrienne Massey hopes that people will instill love instead of hate in their children and learn to practice love following this weekend’s tragedy.
“I hope that as a nation, as a community, just people at home, they teach their kids how to love instead of hate, because that’s not what she represented and that’s not what I teach my kids and that’s not how our family [does] things,” she said. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/katherine-massey-buffalo-shooting-victim_n_6282b1c2e4b050d95195708d | 2022-05-17T01:23:23Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/katherine-massey-buffalo-shooting-victim_n_6282b1c2e4b050d95195708d | false | 1 |

Gov. Ricketts Comments on Record-High April Tax Receipts
LINCOLN – Today, Governor Pete Ricketts commented on the State’s revenue receipts for April 2022, which topped projections by over $375 million for the month.
“Nebraska is attracting investment from companies who are bringing great-paying jobs to the Good Life,” said Gov. Ricketts. “The growth we’ve seen has consistently led to revenues well above forecasts. These surplus revenues paved the way for historic tax relief in the 2022 legislative session. Our ongoing financial strength sets the stage for even more tax relief down the road.”
State revenues in March 2022 were also well above forecast, exceeding projections by more than $140 million. Combined, State revenues over the past two months have been more than a half billion dollars higher than the projections set after the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board revised the State’s revenue forecast on February 28, 2022. | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/572716958/gov-ricketts-comments-on-record-high-april-tax-receipts | 2022-05-17T01:38:18Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/572716958/gov-ricketts-comments-on-record-high-april-tax-receipts | true | 2 |
The New Music Economy is Here for Artists and Fans
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The INFLOW Music App has announced the official launch of their platform. INFLOW Music App is one of the first social media platforms that enables artists to launch their own fan tokens and monetize engagement with their community. With their own tokens launched, artists will benefit from the continuous funding as fans use the tokens to buy, rent and listen to their creations. At the same time, fans will have a new level of ownership to the song including access to unreleased content, exclusive experiences and livestreams.
CEO-Founder of INFLOW Music App Alexander Yoseph, explained the reason behind the creation of the platform, saying,
"We want to provide a platform where artists are able to fully monetize themselves instead of just their music, which is the only revenue stream they have."
To learn how INFLOW Music App can help you as an artist, watch the demo video here.
The Music Industry's Dilemma
As per laws and regulations laid out on www.Copyright.gov, record labels can receive up to 50% of music royalties, with featured artists getting 45%, and non-featured musicians and vocalists the remaining 5% equally. As such, the people who work the hardest on the music, the artists themselves, receive little to nothing for their creations.
With INFLOW Music, artists will earn passive income everytime their token is bought. It's now possible for the biggest economic producers in the music industry to generate wealth for themselves the right way - and fans are riding along for the ride.
Before an artist signs with a record label, fans are the ones who generate the majority of their value. Isn't it better to reward them by getting them involved? That's what Alexander Yoseph (CEO) and Richard Melkonian questioned in their quest to find the right solution. Two years down the road, Alexander Yoseph realized that artists were not receiving the same monetary benefits as their counterparts. Teaming up with Richard Melkonian, the duo combined their skills in artist management, decentralized exchanges and token economics consulting. Melkonian has over 7 years of coding experience with solidity and javascript and is also an award-winning producer and composer with the Royal Opera House in London.
INFLOW Revolutionizes the Music Industry
Decentralized Labels: INFLOW is the first platform that enables artists to launch their own cryptocurrency and access a new type of revenue stream through NFTs/Tokens. A new way to monetize without dealing with copyrights/royalties.
INFLOW Music App was founded in Los Angeles, California, and plans to revolutionize music by monetizing the relationship between artists and fans. In celebration of the release, the brand held a launch event during SXSW 2022 in Austin, Texas. Music artists are able to earn through the sales of their tokens.
Advisors and investors to the INFLOW Music App include Consensys, Protocol Labs, Dapper Labs, Warner Music Group, Live Peer, and more. The app launched with Grammy Award winning artists, such as producers Mike & Keys, King Chip, Domo Genesis, Casey Veggies, Stonez the Organic, and more!
Future expansion plans include adding in other industries and sectors through INFLOW Sports and INFLOW Social, giving fans around the world a chance to connect with their heroes.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed wide receiver Alec Pierce to his rookie contract, according to Mike Chappell.
Colts sign WR Alec Pierce.
— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) May 16, 2022
The No. 53 overall selection is set to make a little less than seven million over his first four seasons with Indianapolis, according to Nate Atkins.
Alec Pierce has signed his rookie contract with the Colts.
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) May 16, 2022
He’ll make a little less than $7 million total over four seasons, which could feel nice with what WRs are getting paid on the open market.
At 6’3”, 212 pounds Pierce has impressed early on in rookie minicamp. On Saturday, the rookie stood out and had quite a day in the red zone with two touchdown catches.
I considered not tweeting this because I know the replies will be extreme in either direction, but…
— Stephen Holder (@HolderStephen) May 14, 2022
Alec Pierce had some moments of dominance in today’s Colts rookie camp practice. Absolutely killed it in the red zone.
Pierce’s impressive start to rookie minicamp is just one of the many reasons why the Colts have high hopes for him going into the 2022 season. Pierce also put up impressive numbers during his final season with Cincinnati, as he had 52 catches for 884 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
The Colts are hoping Pierce can bring a similar kind of production to their offense and that the rookie will be able to make a significant impact from Day 1 this season. | https://www.stampedeblue.com/2022/5/16/23077489/report-colts-sign-second-round-pick-alec-pierce-to-rookie-contract | 2022-05-17T01:43:36Z | https://www.stampedeblue.com/2022/5/16/23077489/report-colts-sign-second-round-pick-alec-pierce-to-rookie-contract | true | 1 |
Trump works overtime to push Dr. Oz over the finish line
Republican Kathy Barnette said she has 'no intentions' of supporting her rivals if they defeat her in Pennsylvania's tight GOP Senate primary.
PHILADELPHIA — The latest polling in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate race shows Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity television doctor who received Donald Trump’s backing, could win.
But so could Kathy Barnette, the conservative commentator whose sudden rise from single-digit support to top contender has stunned state and national Republicans. Or maybe Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO with his own strong ties to Trump world.
One day before one of the highest-profile primaries of the midterms, the winner could easily be any one of three — and it’s made the final hours before voters go to the polls Tuesday a wild ride where seemingly anything could happen.
Virtually every poll in recent weeks has shown Oz clinging to a tiny advantage within the margin of error. And an internal survey from the pro-McCormick super PAC Honor Pennsylvania shows that Barnette saw a significant jump from the beginning to end of last week, leaving the three candidates locked in a dead heat: McCormick at 25 percent, and Oz and Barnette tied at 24 percent.
In Ohio’s contentious Republican Senate primary earlier this month, the candidates quickly conceded on election night and pledged to support Trump’s pick J.D. Vance, who won by 7 points. The Pennsylvania contest appears unlikely to end with similar GOP unity. Barnette said in a radio interview Monday she has “no intentions” of supporting Oz or McCormick if either is the nominee, referring to the men as “globalists.”
Several campaigns in the seven-candidate primary told POLITICO they were prepared for a recount.
“It’s always possible,” said Bob Gillies, Barnette’s campaign manager, of a potential recount. “We want to make sure we’re able to fight back if there is something like that.”
As the bitter primary came to a close, the candidates and their allies remained on the attack in interviews, while operatives continued to push last-minute opposition research. Most notably, Trump made a direct appeal to Pennsylvania GOP voters on Monday afternoon, recording a robocall bashing McCormick and Barnette and urging Republicans to turn out for Oz on Tuesday.
“People love him, otherwise he wouldn’t have been on air for 18 years,” Trump said, referring to the yearslong run of Oz’s daytime television show. “I’ve just spent a lot of time with him. I did endorse him, and the reason is he’s tough, he’s smart and he really loves our country and he wants to do a great job for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
Despite calling McCormick “a good person,” Trump described the former hedge fund CEO as “an insider who absolutely sold us out to China.”
“Can’t have that,” Trump continued.
Trump mentioned what constitutes an unforgivable sin to the Republican base: Barnette’s support in 2020 for building a statue of the Obama family in Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Park. She suggested at the time it should go next to a monument that depicts Abraham Lincoln standing over an emancipated slave.
“That’s no good,” Trump said of Barnette’s idea. “These are not candidates who put America first, and that’s what we need.”
Oz’s campaign said it did not pay for the Trump robocalls. A person working for Trump’s political arm did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump was also scheduled to participate in a live tele-town hall with Oz on Monday evening — which the Oz campaign did fund — and the two have spoken several times in the last week.
According to a person familiar with the calls, the former president has urged Oz to “keep fighting,” while Oz continued to express his gratitude to Trump for the support — an endorsement that changed Oz’s fortunes in the race. Immediately prior to Trump’s early-April endorsement of Oz, polling showed McCormick with a slight advantage over the physician, whose unfavorable ratings are much higher than the other candidates in the race.
Barnette’s unexpected rise occurred as Oz and McCormick poured tens of millions of dollars into television advertisements and as outside spending groups supporting the two candidates spent heavily on attack ads. Through Tuesday, spending on TV, digital and radio advertisements in the primary totaled more than $57 million, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact.
Less than $200,000 of that was from Barnette’s campaign. But the Club for Growth, which announced last week its super PAC was endorsing Barnette, just spent over $2 million on a last-minute advertisement on her behalf.
McCormick and Oz’s campaigns have nearly matched each other in spending on ads, though the pro-McCormick super PAC has drastically outspent the two pro-Oz groups.
In the last week, however, four super PACs have pivoted to attacking Barnette on television. The pro-Oz American Leadership Action appears to have sent at least four anti-Barnette texts to voters, pushing out messages like “BLM Radical Kathy Barnette believes that ‘on every street corner there’s a police officer there ready and waiting to shoot a black man.’” The texts linked to CrazyKathy.com, which redirects to American Leadership Action’s site.
Claims about Barnette’s views on Black Lives Matter have been misleading, according to independent fact checks.
In another text, the super PAC said “Donald Trump and Sean Hannity know Kathy Barnette is lying,” before accusing her of lying about aspects of her military experience and “almost everything in her past.” Barnette, who in recent days declined to answer some questions about her time in the military, maintains she has been truthful about biographical information she has provided.
Barnette over the weekend faced a flurry of news stories — including from conservative media outlets — calling into question aspects of her resume, her voting record and where she has lived in years past. Until now, Barnette has largely avoided scrutiny from other campaigns or the news media.
McCormick’s camp has aimed to use a similar line of attack against Oz, who has been portrayed as a shady Hollywood liberal.
“You are seeing people move to McCormick because he is a trustworthy conservative,” said James Schultz, a former Trump White House lawyer who is close to McCormick’s campaign. “We have seen for this entire cycle Mehmet Oz’s struggle with the truth. With Barnette, there have been many questions surrounding her truthfulness as well.”
Messaging from McCormick’s campaign on Monday appeared to concede that he is one of multiple candidates crowded at the front of the pack. The campaign wrote in an election eve press release that McCormick would make the case to Republicans that he is “the only front-runner who grew up in Pennsylvania and shares the same conservative values as PA voters.”
A series of other twists in recent days have added to the sense of volatility ahead of Tuesday’s primary election. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the leading Democratic Senate candidate, remains hospitalized after suffering a stroke over the weekend. And Trump, on Saturday weighed in with a last-minute endorsement in the governor’s race, picking Doug Mastriano, the candidate who is publicly backing and campaigning with Barnette. | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/16/trump-oz-pennsylvania-senate-00032900 | 2022-05-17T01:43:45Z | https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/16/trump-oz-pennsylvania-senate-00032900 | true | 1 |
BAGHDAD – The thick layer of dust blanketing the sky did not deter Muhammed Ghalib from walking to work in Baghdad’s main commercial district on Monday, as the latest in an unrelenting series of intense sandstorms swept Iraq.
The dust coated his eyelashes a shade of orange. He arrived at 4 a.m., the height of the storm, and sat outside his stall by the street to sell household goods in the capital’s Shorja market. “Life goes on,” he said.
Ghalib was among the merchants in the capital who did not heed public warnings Monday to stay indoors because of poor weather conditions, lamenting financial losses and hardship amid ongoing economic woes. The Health Ministry said there were at least 1,700 cases of severe respiratory complaints in Baghdad on Monday because of the storm.
There have been at least eight sandstorms in Iraq since April, according to officials. They have landed thousands of Iraqis in hospitals with severe breathing difficulties and at least one person died, according to Iraq’s Health Ministry, which declared a state of emergency.
Monday's sandstorm killed two people in neighboring Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour along the border with Iraq, according to official news agency SANA. The agency said hundreds of people were taken to hospitals after suffering breathing problems, adding that the dead were a father and his son in Deir el-Zour.
Sham FM radio reported that a young man suffocated in the village of Al-Harijia north of Deir el-Zour.
Dust storms are a seasonal occurrence in Iraq but their frequency this year has alarmed experts who blame drought, rapid desertification and climate change.
On Monday, Baghdad Gov. Mohammed Jaber al-Atta suspended working hours in the province, with all departments excluding the Health Ministry temporarily closed. The provinces of Wasit, Diwaniyah and Babil also declared Monday a public holiday owing to the severity of the dust storm.
In the last major sandstorm on May 5, one person died in Iraq and 5,000 people were admitted to hospitals, the Health Ministry said. Ministry spokesman Saif al-Badr said Monday that Iraq’s medical facilities were on alert.
Flights were suspended at Baghdad, Najaf and Sulaimaniyah airports due to low visibility.
Climate activists have blamed inaction by the Iraqi government and poor water management policies for the increase in sandstorms. The phenomenon is expected to become more frequent amid record-low rainfall and rising summer temperatures.
Abu Dalal, a cashier at a restaurant in the Karada neighborhood of Baghdad, blamed the government for not prioritizing green spaces around the capital to capture the seasonal dust waves.
Essa Fayadh, a senior Environment Ministry official, said the government struggles to address desertification across vast swathes of agricultural land due to declining water reserves, which are down 50% from last year. The Iraqi government has blamed dam projects in Turkey and Iran for limiting river flows into Iraq.
“For this reason we could only divert water to irrigate 50% of agricultural lands this year,” he told The Associated Press, enabling the remainder to become drier and susceptible to sandstorms. “We had to prioritize food security with the resources we have,” he said.
In the capital, Iraqis are learning to adapt under a sepia sky. Many on the street wore surgical masks. “We have no choice,” Ghalib said, beating the dust from the dish cloths hanging outside his stall. A few minutes later, he does it again.
Nearby, Ahmed Saddi lamented the dwindling business. “There is no one, and that hurts (us) a lot.”
But customers still lined up outside Abid Sultan’s restaurant along Rasheed Street. Munching on rice dishes, his patrons joked the dust was extra seasoning.
The dust covered the fruits being sold across vegetable markets. Sajed Hamed, an employee in one, wiped apples and apricots with tissue.
“People still have to eat,” he said. | https://www.news4jax.com/news/world/2022/05/16/iraqi-merchants-struggle-on-amid-series-of-strong-sandstorms/ | 2022-05-17T01:43:52Z | https://www.news4jax.com/news/world/2022/05/16/iraqi-merchants-struggle-on-amid-series-of-strong-sandstorms/ | true | 41 |

#NEW DELHI The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear a plea against the Allahabad high court order dismissing a petition challenging a Varanasi court’s order to appoint an advocate as a court commissioner to inspect the Gyanvapi mosque complex.
A bench comprising justices DY Chandrachud and PS Narasimha will hear the plea filed by Committee of Management Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Varanasi.
On May 13, the apex court had declined to immediately stop the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, and agreed to list the matter.
Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, representing the petitioner, mentioned the plea before the court. IANS

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to talk at its meeting tomorrow about a potential charter to fill vacancies in county elected offices. If approved, the charter would be on the ballot in November and could give the county more control over vacancies in positions like county clerk-recorder in the future.
KCBX’s Benjamin Purper spoke with SLO Tribune reporter Stephanie Zappelli about her reporting on the potential charter and the idea of an independent redistricting commission in SLO County. | https://www.kcbx.org/government-and-politics/2022-05-16/kcbx-two-way-slo-county-considering-charter-to-fill-county-vacancies | 2022-05-17T02:01:55Z | https://www.kcbx.org/government-and-politics/2022-05-16/kcbx-two-way-slo-county-considering-charter-to-fill-county-vacancies | false | null |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A jury was picked Monday in the trial of a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign who is accused of lying to the FBI as it investigated potential ties between Donald Trump and Russia in 2016.
The case against Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity attorney who represented the Clinton campaign in 2016, is the first trial arising from the ongoing investigation by special counsel John Durham and will test the strength of evidence he and his team have gathered while scrutinizing the early days of the Trump-Russia probe for potential misconduct.
Sussmann appeared in court with his lawyers Monday as both sides worked to select jurors to hear the case, which is expected to last about two weeks. Prospective jurors who had already filled out questionnaires filed one-by-one into the courtroom to answer follow-up questions about topics including political contributions during the 2016 election and their opinions on lawyers and the criminal justice system.
The jury was finalized soon after 5 p.m. on Monday. Opening statements are set for Tuesday.
The case alleges a single false statement by Sussmann, but the stakes are high nonetheless: An acquittal is likely to hasten questions about the Durham probe’s purpose and cost to taxpayers while a guilty verdict will almost certainly energize Trump supporters who have long looked to Durham to expose what they see as biased treatment of the former president.
Sussmann is accused of misleading the FBI’s then-general counsel during a September 2016 meeting in which he presented research showing what he said might be a suspicious backchannel of communications between computer servers of the Trump Organization and Russia-based Alfa Bank.
Prosecutors allege Sussmann lied by saying that he wasn’t attending the meeting on behalf of any particular client when they say he was actually acting on behalf of two clients: the Clinton campaign and a technology executive who had helped assemble the computer data.
Durham’s team says that had the FBI been told the truth, it would have factored into the bureau’s assessment of the credibility of the Alfa Bank claims as it weighed whether to begin investigating. The FBI did look into the matter but ultimately found nothing suspicious.
Sussmann’s lawyers deny he lied but say the alleged misstatement isn’t relevant in any event since there’s no evidence that what the FBI knew or didn’t know about his political affiliations had any bearing on its decision-making about whether to investigate.
Durham was appointed in 2019 by then-Attorney General William Barr to look for any misconduct as the U.S. government was examining potential coordination between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign to tip the outcome of the election. An investigation by an earlier special counsel, Robert Mueller, did not find a criminal conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign though it did find that Russia sought to aid Trump’s election bid.
The Alfa Bank matter was a peripheral part of the FBI’s investigation and the allegations of furtive contact were not even mentioned in Mueller’s 2019 report.
Durham’s work has resulted in three criminal cases, but only the one against Sussmann has reached trial.
In 2020, a former FBI lawyer named Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty to altering an email related to secret FBI surveillance of an ex-Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. In applying for warrants to eavesdrop on Page, the FBI relied on research files of anti-Trump information known colloquially as the “Steele dossier” that contained rumors and uncorroborated claims.
Last year, Durham charged a Russia analyst who was a source for that dossier with lying to the FBI about his own sources of information — among them, a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter. Igor Danchenko has pleaded not guilty. The case is pending.

NEW YORK, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Con Edison Chairman and CEO Timothy Cawley told shareholders in the company's virtual annual meeting that the company is accelerating its work to create a clean energy future that benefits everyone in the region, including historically disadvantaged communities.
Cawley called the company's Clean Energy Commitment Con Edison's roadmap for the future and reiterated the company's plan to deliver 100-percent emissions-free energy by 2040.
He gave special thanks to the company's employees and the leadership at Local 1-2, Local 3, and Local 503 for their contributions to the company's success.
"They are exceptional and valued partners," he said. "Together, we are building the clean energy future for all. Together, we are making it happen now and for generations to come."
The company has begun building transmission projects that will connect a supply of increasingly renewable power to the grid and allow for the retirement of fossil fuel-powered plants, meaning cleaner air. Con Edison is investing $800 million on projects in Staten Island, Queens and Brooklyn, he said.
Cawley said the company wants to play an even greater role in securing a sustainable future. That's why Con Edison advocates for utility ownership of large-scale renewable generation.
On behalf of its customers, Con Edison plays an integral role in keeping the region's environment clean for future generations, Cawley said. Spending on energy efficiency programs will triple to more than $1.5 billion by 2025.
Con Edison and Orange and Rockland Utilities Inc. offer energy efficiency programs that pay customers incentives for upgrades that lower their energy usage. The programs cover every type of customer group.
The company is changing its approach to its gas delivery systems, Cawley said.
The shift will be toward cleaner, more efficient alternatives for heating. The company is investing $100 million in research and development and exploring technologies such as green hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and carbon capture and storage, he said.
Cawley noted the company's support of the transition to electric vehicles, including the changes in its own fleet. He said every new passenger car the company buys is an EV. The company is helping to install 20,000 chargers by 2025.
Cawley stressed the company's diversity efforts designed to ensure every employee feels valued, respected, and included, vowing to address workplace equity while continuing to transform the corporate culture through ongoing dialogue and company training.
Despite the challenges of the past year, Con Edison remains a solid, stable company, he said.
Con Edison Inc.'s dividend grew again, now for the 48th consecutive year - the longest streak of any energy company in the S&P 500. Investors are seeing a 6-cent increase over 2021 to $3.16 per share.
Consolidated Edison, Inc. is one of the nation's largest investor-owned energy-delivery companies, with approximately $14 billion in annual revenues and $64 billion in assets. The company provides a wide range of energy-related products and services to its customers through the following subsidiaries: Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CECONY), a regulated utility providing electric service in New York City and New York's Westchester County, gas service in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and parts of Westchester, and steam service in Manhattan; Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), a regulated utility serving customers in a 1,300-square-mile-area in southeastern New York State and northern New Jersey; Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc., the second-largest owners of solar electric projects in North America, which, through its subsidiaries develops, owns and operates renewable and sustainable energy infrastructure projects and provides energy-related products and services to wholesale and retail customers; and Con Edison Transmission, Inc., which falls primarily under the oversight of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and through its subsidiaries invests in electric transmission projects supporting its parent company's effort to transition to clean, renewable energy. Con Edison Transmission manages, through joint ventures, both electric and gas assets while seeking to develop electric transmission projects that will bring clean, renewable electricity to customers, focusing on New York, New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and the Midwest.

The Carolina Panthers are reportedly still open to acquiring Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo despite drafting Matt Corral. "The door is open slightly for [Matt Corral] to potentially take the job because the Panthers are still essentially looking for veteran quarterback help," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Sunday on SportsCenter. "They would like somebody else; that's why the Baker Mayfield situation, Jimmy Garoppolo might not be completely dead at this point. And so it certainly seems [Sam Darnold] is the favorite to start. They know Matt Corral is a bit of a project, a little like Malik Willis, because of the offense he came from in Ole Miss. He's going to need some time to learn the nuances of the NFL game, but they love the talent. So, he could at least make this interesting for sure." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2602547451547/cowboys-stephen-jones-we-re-not-going-to-be-at-peace-without-playoff-success | 2022-05-17T02:04:05Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2602547451547/cowboys-stephen-jones-we-re-not-going-to-be-at-peace-without-playoff-success | false | 3 |
More training camp practices cancelled as CFL strike continues
League, players' union haven't rescheduled contract talks after negotiations broke off
The cooling off process continues for the CFL and CFL Players' Association.
As of Monday, the two sides hadn't rescheduled contract talks after negotiations broke off Saturday, hours before the collective bargaining agreement was set to expire. That put players on seven of the league's nine teams in a legal strike position at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday.
Both the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Elks opened training camp as scheduled Sunday. Their players won't be in a legal strike position until later this week, as per Alberta's labour laws.
On Sunday night, the Montreal Alouettes announced all of their training camp practices were being suspended "until further notice." The Saskatchewan Roughriders followed suit Monday.
The CFLPA announced Monday night Hamilton Tiger-Cats players will stand together outside of Tim Hortons Field. Fans are invited to attend "and stand together in a show of solidarity to demand that Canadian Football League gets back to the table," the union said in the announcement.
Canadian ratio
A major sticking point in negotiations appears to be the Canadian ratio.
The CFL is proposing that an American player who has been in the league for at least four years or played with the same team for at least three years, would become a nationalized American who would count as a Canadian on the roster.
Each CFL roster would still have at least seven national starters, with at least six being Canadian as the seventh could be either the nationalized American or an additional Canadian.
The previous collective bargaining agreement, which expired at midnight ET on Saturday, called for 21 Canadians on a roster, with at least seven being starters.
If there's a silver lining to the cloud that's hanging over CBA talks, it's that a mediator was involved in the previous negotiating process. So following an adequate cooling off period, an individual familiar to both sides can reach out and attempt to get them talking again rather than one being formally appointed and needing some time to get up to speed with the parties involved.
This marks the second time the CFL has had a strike. The first came in 1974 during training camp and was resolved before the start of the season.
The CFL exhibition season is currently scheduled to begin May 23 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers visiting the Saskatchewan Roughriders. | https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-strike-continues-1.6455857?cmp=rss | 2022-05-17T02:06:42Z | https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-strike-continues-1.6455857?cmp=rss | true | 2 |
Biopics in Marathi have not been one of my favourite genres—they tend to be mostly simpering, breathless hagiographies, lurching from high point to high point of a well-known person’s already well-documented public achievements. There is virtually no access given to the audience to the inner life and dilemmas of the person portrayed. And some go a step further by getting completely caught up with make-up, prosthetics and costumes, to the point of turning the characters into caricatures of the original stalwarts that they wish to recreate on screen. This could be why I did not go rushing to see the Marathi film Mi Vasantrao on the maverick, in-a-class-of-his-own singer Vasantrao Deshpande. However, I knew I would, sooner or later.
Without giving away too much of what transpires and unfolds in this film, I can say that three developments early in the film reassured me that this was not going to be a film only about the externals of an artist’s life, and certainly not about just the high points. The first of those developments or plot points is played out within the initial few minutes of the film and centres around a strong young woman character who simply takes life by its horns when she is let down by her family. The second is the early encouragement to the protagonist to choose the path of plurality and cultural syncretism in his journey. And the third is the heart-rending struggle that we see between a man’s inner calling, his passion, and the exigencies of daily living that he must honour too.
None of these incidents and phases of Vasantrao Deshpande’s life has been well documented in history, and many were a surprise, a revelation even to us here in Maharashtra who have had the opportunity to listen to and watch this singer (turned sangeet-natak actor later in life). In that sense the film breaks new ground in what the scriptwriters unearth and choose to tell us.
Point-counterpoint
Through the film, we see the women in his life—wife, mother, daughter, his friend Begum Akhtar, a down-and-out once-famous lavani artist, a young patron who invites him to sing at a wedding—all holding their own. They support him and are yet not lost or subsumed in his journey. Each in her own very different way provides point and counterpoint to his existence, to his struggles. From playing vociferous devil’s advocate, to silent supporter, to providing the wind under his wings, to making him comfortable in far-away Lucknow, to accepting his ban on naach-gaana in the family during the time that he is embittered by his struggles for recognition, to acknowledging that he has more than done his duty and should now find himself… all the women come through as equals and partners in his life and not as long-suffering sacrificing sorts. And this is surely one of the most heartening aspects of the story and his life.
That the mother lives alone with her child, works outside the home, feels free to declare that she is an atheist, and does not have to face any unsavoury male attentions in the early part of the 20th century is as much testimony to her own grit as to the refreshingly forward-looking neighbourhood and community of Maharashtra in which she resides. The ease and affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (including sharing a round of tobacco after the housework is done) is a refreshing change from the saas-bahu tropes that we see on our television screens every day.
Also read: Musical genius
The second theme runs through the film from the beginning. Both protagonist and film emphasise that exposure to art across regional, religious, caste, class and community lines is what makes the man. Learning about and from cultures widely different from one’s own, making friends across boundaries, is a running leitmotif. One character actually spells it out: Vasantrao’s uncle who urges him to venture out to Lahore, learn music from whoever will teach him there. In a hard-hitting piece of advice, he lists a string of same-caste Marathi names, advising him against clumping with them, but to go mingle and learn from the world at large — be it tawaifs, maulanas, fakirs or ustads.
The young Vasantrao’s willingness to jump into a new life in far-away Lahore is as much about the enablers at this end of his existence as it is about those at the other end, who welcome the young boy and give of themselves and their art freely. The tacit, unstated understanding that this is a boy without a father to support him emerges from a beautifully layered conversation about raag Marwa that he has with one of his gurus in Lahore. Later, the benign and sensitive person who comes to bless the ailing Vasantrao for his last performance is a poetic device that also brings out the Yin-Yang relationship between actor-character, Hindu-Muslim, between this gharana and that. Amid the ongoing otherisation of castes and communities and the current trend to become aggressive frogs in little ponds, this aspect of the film is heartening — not just because Vasantrao lived it, but that this thought is being showcased today: that you can remain deeply rooted and yet open and secular.
Heart of the matter
The third aspect of the film that takes the audience into the heart of Vasantrao’s life is his struggle for acceptance and recognition. Here, he is boxed in by two walls: his desk-bound, prosaic job that puts food on the table, and the attitude of many hidebound listeners who question and reject him almost as some kind of outcast with no lineage. Even though his friend and literary giant (at that time an upcoming young man) Pu La Deshpande repeatedly urges him to follow his passion, at one point Vasantrao bitterly disowns music and declares that he is simply done with it, banning his children from music too.
It is only later that opportunities open up, with the masterstroke of his being cast in a play about two competing musicians, Katiyar Kaljaat Ghusli, which became a runaway success. Vasantrao’s grandson, singer and actor Rahul Deshpande, who plays the stalwart in the film, speaks of how the push and pull between ghar-grihasti (domestic life) and art came up in his life too a couple of decades ago. And it was none other than Pu La again, this time older and even more of a father figure to so many artists, who strongly advised him to drop his pursuit of an accountancy degree and follow his passion.
Inside his world
Rahul mentions some of Vasantrao’s important relationships that were consciously kept out of the film—because this would involve depicting the lives of musical legends such as Kumar Gandharva, Jitendra Abhisheki and Bhimsen Joshi. And if the interiority of the main character’s life was to be brought out, the exterior relationships would simply take up too much film time. Only Dinanath Mangeshkar appears briefly as an inspiration as well as someone who commiserates with the young Vasantrao about audiences not willing to listen to what you really have to offer. The character of Pu La is almost a device in the film, to bring out the passion vs duty dilemma in the singer’s life.
Also read: Pursuit of perfection
Interestingly, while the background score of the film subtly evokes some of the popular Vasantrao thumris, natyasangeet, and raga renditions, the film’s music, composed by Rahul, avoids merely replicating these. He has written original scores. The only place where this simply did not work for me is in the choice of Durga Jasraj as the actor and singer playing Begum Akhtar and the song that she renders, just about passably. To my mind, it came across as a bit of an anachronism, sounding like a Chitra Singh number from the late 1970s rather than something from the much earlier decades in which Akhtaribai and Vasantrao interacted. One missed Begum’s ‘Woh jo hum mey tum mey karaar thaa’ at this juncture—which would have been a fitting tribute to both her and Vasantrao, as also a window into that special something that existed between the two.
The English subtitling of the film is adequate, but that of the lyrics of songs is particularly poor. The final rolling credits at the end are worth waiting for, with a great soundtrack and treasured old photos running alongside. Look out for two particularly arresting moments in which Rahul Deshpande shines: His meeting in the most unlikely of places with the old almost destitute lavani artiste of yore, Parubai Jejurikar; and his body language and expression filled with the proverbial ‘pity, terror, and catharsis’ when he meets his father years later.

We wonder, what special days do you celebrate?
There are many special days. However, we probably only note a few of them. We celebrate when the big ones come, like birthdays, religious holidays, days that honor mothers and fathers, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and more. Those days are wonderful to remember. We take pictures so we can spend time re-living and cherishing them.
Besides the days we mentioned, you might be surprised about other days that are designated as special days.
Here are just a few in May. May 12th is International Nurses Day. That’s a very important day. Nurses and all caregivers deserve recognition. They have persevered and helped us through difficult times, especially over the last couple of years with the many challenges. A big thank you will never be enough for their dedicated service. We appreciate you!
We’ve found appropriate ways to celebrate on some holidays and meaningful days. But what do we do on some unusual special days, like Friday the 13th? How do we celebrate that one? If people are superstitious they may avoid doing things on Friday the 13th for fear that they could have bad luck. Yet for others, the number 13 is a lucky number, so they choose to celebrate by doing more things because they expect good outcomes.
When it’s the first Friday the 13th of the year, it’s also known as Blame Someone Else Day. Now that’s a doozie, isn’t it? A day to celebrate when we don’t have to take responsibility for something we did, and very conveniently we can just blame someone else.
Somehow, when we don’t take ownership of what we do, we can’t see how this will help our lives get better. It’s not always easy to do, but we know it takes courage and leadership to admit mistakes, learn from them and go on and do better. So, even though it’s an unusual day, on May 13th we won’t be celebrating Blame Someone Else Day!
Now, here’s another unusual, special day that’s noted on May 13th. It’s Frog Jumping Day! Can you imagine! One place this day is celebrated is in Angels Camp, California, at the Calaveras County Fair. It’s called the Frog Jumping Jubilee. It began in 1928 and was based on an 1865 story that Mark Twain told.
Twain, who once called Angels Camp home, wrote about a gambler and his jumping frog. In the Frog Jumping Jubilee there are prizes for the winner whose frog jumps the longest distance. It’s interesting to see how people “encourage” their frog and how some frogs respond and others just sit there. In 1986, Lee Giudici and his frog, aptly named Rosie the Ribiter, set the world’s record of 21 feet, 5.75 inches from a total of three jumps. Frog Jumping Day, what an unusual and fun, special day! We wonder how fun it is for the frogs.
So you see that people have named several days as special days. What we realize is that actually every day is a special day. We say each day is a gift! The Bible says, “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it,” Psalm 118:24. Let’s look at ways to help make every day special.
One way to feel every day is special is to practice gratitude. That’s not always easy to do, either. Maybe the weather is bad, you don’t feel so good, you got some bad news and things don’t seem to be going your way, it’s hard to be grateful. Yes, now’s the time to dig deep for things that we sometimes take for granted. Can I see, hear, feel, move? Can I read, understand, think and learn? Be grateful for what I can do.
Next, when I have good relationships, then days can be more special. If I’m lonely, who could I talk to? How can I make a new friend or call or write to an old friend? Who can I smile at or listen to? These actions will help me be less lonely and will also help others.
Alice Morse Earle said, “Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day.” Another way to make a day special, even in the midst of challenges, is to find purpose. What causes do I want to support and where can I volunteer?
What about you? To make each day special, we encourage you to use the ways we suggested to reconnect with gratitude, good relationships and purpose.
Remember, each day is special – it’s a gift! | https://www.swnewsmedia.com/chanhassen_villager/news/opinion/columnists/commentary-what-special-days-are-in-your-calendar/article_5be02a78-cfa4-11ec-ac75-9f729e9774a1.html | 2022-05-17T02:08:07Z | https://www.swnewsmedia.com/chanhassen_villager/news/opinion/columnists/commentary-what-special-days-are-in-your-calendar/article_5be02a78-cfa4-11ec-ac75-9f729e9774a1.html | false | 1 |

HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today announced first quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
"We closed the quarter in a strong position with March performance returning to pre-pandemic levels, leading to improved quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA compared to last quarter. In addition, we closed on our PIPE transaction in the quarter, securing growth capital for the initial phase of our contract with ProFrac to deliver our full-suite of downhole chemistries to a significant portion of its hydraulic fracturing fleets in North America. The second quarter is off to a strong start with our first full month of services to ProFrac completed in April. We are now supplying chemistry to 10 ProFrac fleets across 4 major basins. Through this agreement, E&Ps now have a comprehensive, vertically integrated completions solution that reduces emissions and delivers green chemistries, thereby protecting air, water, land and people," said John W. Gibson, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "We are grateful to our shareholders for voting in strong support of our long-term contract, thus helping unlock our future with more than $2 billion in revenue over the next decade, excluding other organic growth opportunities. While we will have ramp-up costs associated with the ProFrac contract in the coming quarters, we are optimistic about the future and look forward to improving financial performance throughout the year and we are on target to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA excluding convertible notes amortization before the end of the fourth quarter 2022."
Key First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
The first quarter results, which are substantially comprised of revenue from customers other than ProFrac, are as follows:
- Consolidated Revenues: Flotek generated first quarter 2022 consolidated revenue of $12.9 million, up 6% from $12.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021, driven by increased activity with domestic and international energy chemistry customers.
- Net Income: The Company recorded a net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.15 per basic/diluted share, in the first quarter 2022 compared to a net loss of $16.2 million, or $0.22 per basic/diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. The sequential improvement is primarily due to the absence of the goodwill impairment of $8.1 million that was reported in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by a charge for the change in fair value of contingent convertible notes payable of $3.9 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2022 was a loss of $5.4 million, a 5% improvement compared to a loss of $5.7 million in the fourth quarter 2021, improving generally in-line with revenues, partially offset by ramp-up costs associated with increased activity associated with the ProFrac agreement.
Operational & Segment Highlights
- In the first quarter, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC, to provide full downhole chemistry solutions for the greater of 33% of ProFrac's crews or 10 crews minimum for three years. Subsequently, the Company entered into an amended agreement with ProFrac Holdings, LLC to expand the Agreement to a term of 10 years and up to 30 hydraulic fracturing fleets, which was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders on May 9, 2022. Combined, the contracts are expected to exceed $2 billion in revenue over the next decade. Additional details can be found in the Company's SEC and 10-Q filings.
- First quarter 2022 Chemistry Technologies revenues were $11.8 million, up 2% sequentially and 15% year-over-year, outpacing market activity which was flat in the quarter. Customer diversification continued with both domestic and international E&P operators with 12% of quarterly revenue attributed to new customers. Additionally, since Q1 2021, the segment's customer base has grown by more than 37%, reducing customer concentration and risk.
- First quarter 2022 Data Analytics revenues were $1.1 million, up 83% sequentially and down 27% year-over-year. Sequential improvement was driven by increased interest across midstream and transportation customers that are increasingly interested in driving facilities efficiencies to help meet ESG goals.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
- As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and equivalents of $24.8 million compared to $11.5 million in the fourth quarter 2021, benefitted by the Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction with a consortium of investors, previously disclosed.
- Flotek also had $4.8 million in Payroll Protection Program loans outstanding. The Company has applied for forgiveness for substantially all of its PPP loans and has received an extension of the loan maturity date from April 15, 2022, to April 5, 2025, reducing the current portion of long-term debt from $4.8 million to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021.
- During the first quarter, the Company continued progress on its plans to sell its warehouse facility in Monahans, Texas and its manufacturing facility in Waller, Texas, which were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022. Subsequently, on April 18, 2022, the Company closed on its contract to sell the Waller facility for $4.3 million. The proceeds will be included in the Company's second quarter 2022 results. In addition, the Company is in the later stages of executing an agreement to sell the Monahans facility with an anticipated close in the coming quarters.

DENVER (AP) — San Francisco Giants infielder Tommy La Stella was reinstated Monday from the 10-day injured list and was slated to make his season debut at Colorado.
In other moves, the Giants transferred right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (right ankle inflammation) to the 60-day injured list and optioned outfielder Luis González to Triple-A Sacramento. Right-hander Yunior Marte was optioned to Sacramento on Sunday, and the Giants selected the contract of right-hander Mauricio Llovera.
La Stella, in the second year of an $18.75 million, three-year contract, missed time in his first year with the club due to a broken right hand and a hamstring strain. He underwent surgery in October to repair an Achilles’ tendon issue, and the recovery time forced him to miss the first five weeks of the season.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler welcomed La Stella’s return, saying his veteran presence bolsters clubhouse stability and resolve. La Stella’s defensive versatility also gives Kapler additional flexibility in managing the lineup, and his bat adds to the team’s overall fire power.
“Tommy is one of the better plate appearances in baseball right now, simple as that,” Kapler said. “He has great discipline, fouls off pitches, is extremely competitive in the batter’s box. He’s kind of the epitome of what we want our hitters to be, make a lot of contact, drive the baseball, occasionally draw a walk here and there and keep the line moving.”
Kapler also said that DeSclafani had not encountered a setback in his rehab of an ankle injury that has sidelined him since April 22. He said DeSclafani and team doctors and trainers have settled on a rehab program to gradually build back his arm and leg strength so that he’s ready to fill a slot in the rotation when he returns.
“A long, slow ramp for a pitcher is the most protective thing we can do for them,” Kapler said, adding that “getting him back to the big leagues healthy and strong and capable of taking down a full workload is the most important piece of this puzzle.”

Finance pro worth $500,000 shares the ONE piece of investing advice she swears by when the stock market becomes volatile' and 'fearful'
- Queenie Tan, from Sydney, has an outstanding net worth of $500,000 at just 25
- On Instagram she shared an interesting take on investing in property
- If the value of a home could be readily checked, people would likely sell or buy
- This year investors have been selling stocks due to a decrease in the market
- Queenie is a long-term investor whose learnt to avoid checking her portfolio
A young finance expert with an impressive net worth of $500,000 has urged Australians to stop checking their investment portfolios every day as the market becomes more 'volatile'.
Queenie Tan, 25, from Sydney, said with stock market volatility increasing, panicked Australian investors have been selling their shares to avoid losing any more money.
As a long-term investor, Queenie instead avoids checking the daily fluctuations and always invests for a minimum of seven years; she remembers this when the market is 'fearful'.
She also doesn't check the performance of her stock market portfolio at all and only invests the money she can afford to lose.
Finance guru Queenie Tan, from Sydney, (pictured) said if the value of a property could be readily checked, people would likely sell or buy more frequently
'I don't invest money that I need to live and I have an emergency fund and cash saved so I don't need to sell my investments when the market is down,' she wrote.
'Imagine if you could check the price of your property every minute like you can with stocks and crypto. One day you're up $10,000 and another day you're down $50,000,' she wrote.
Queenie and her partner Pablo, 30, bought their first property together in 2019 worth $500,000 with a $100,000 deposit.

'There would probably be a lot more people buying and selling property!'
They hope to buy a second property in Sydney in future.
In her 'emergency fund', Queenie has between three to six months' worth of her income save in addition to her cash savings.
'We have an emergency fund of $30,000 which means that if we stopped making money, we would be able to live for six months,' Queenie said in a TikTok video.
'An emergency fund is three to six months of living expenses saved in cash just in case something unexpected happens.'

In the comments of the social media post, others agreed with Queenie and also avoid checking market prices.
'This is a great way to shift the way you think about your portfolio - it would drive me crazy knowing my daily house price,' one person wrote.
'I wish I had more cash to buy more,' another said, a third added: 'You always hit the nail on the head.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/real-life/article-10822967/Queenie-Tan-investing-stock-market-advice-Finance-money-hacks-saving-2022.html | 2022-05-17T02:19:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/real-life/article-10822967/Queenie-Tan-investing-stock-market-advice-Finance-money-hacks-saving-2022.html | false | 2 |
Almost 4 in 10 South Korean listed companies trimmed their workforce in 2021 from a year earlier amid the prolonged coronavirus pandemic, a private think tank said Tuesday.
The Korea Economic Research Institute (KERI) said a survey of 1,874 firms listed on the country's main and minor bourses showed 43.1 percent slashing the number of their employees last year from 2020.
Of the 696 businesses traded on the main KOSPI market, 294, or 42.2 percent, cut jobs during the cited period, with 43.6 percent of the 1,178 firms registered with the tech-heavy KOSDAQ market reducing their payrolls.
The proportion of job-cutting listed companies in 2021 was down from 52 percent in 2020 and was also lower than 44.3 percent in 2019 before the outbreak of COVID-19.
KERI, the research arm of the country's conglomerate lobby Federation of Korean Industries, attributed the on-year drop in job-reducing firms to their improved performances bolstered by a recovery in demand and brisk business by "untact" sectors.
Yet their total workforce has yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels, the institute said.
As of the end of December last year, their total headcount stood at 1.483 million, up from 1.469 in 2020 but down from 1.497 two years earlier.
Hit by the pandemic, nearly 27 percent of those companies pared down their workforce in 2021 for the second consecutive year.
On top of job cuts, 210 firms, or 11.2 percent of the total listed companies, suffered setbacks in sales and operating income due to the coronavirus fallout, according to KERI.
The think tank called on the government to push ahead with corporate deregulation and provide tax incentives in a bid to induce local companies to invest more and expand employment. | http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220517000164 | 2022-05-17T02:29:21Z | http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220517000164 | false | 2 |

Mr. Richard Fiadomor, the Maritime University lecturer who was arrested and arraigned before a court in 2021 for defrauding an unsuspecting victim of Ghc66, 000, has been jailed for 12 weeks over the crime.
The Tema Circuit Court ‘B’ handed down the sentence after Fiadomor, a former Presiding Member of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly and a former Constituency Secretary of the National Democratic Congress in Tema West, was found guilty of issuing a dud cheque.
In addition to the 12 weeks jail term, he was also sentenced to a fine of 400 penalty units and is therefore to pay his victim, Stephen Attipoe, Ghc4,800.
It would be recalled that in September 2021 when the convict was arraigned before court and the issue was reported by the media, he started a campaign of denials, claiming that the media had concocted the story.
Mr. Fiadomor had even called WhatsUp News, Ghana’s first-ever digital newspaper and accused it of reporting wrong facts after the paper had put out the story.
Less than a year later, he has been jailed over the same crime he claimed the media had fabricated about him.
The facts of the case as presented by ASP J.A. Asamani before the Tema Circuit Court B is that, in September 2020, Richard Fiadomor had approached Stephen Attipoe and
borrowed Ghc66,000 to clear some four cars at the Tema Port, which he had imported into the country.
He had promised to pay it back in a week’s time. However, when the time came to pay, he started using elusive tactics.
Eventually, he issued a dud cheque for the complainant to cash at the Fidelity Bank.
However, after several failed attempts to cash the cheque, the complainant reported the fraud to the Tema Community Two Police who picked up the suspect and later arraigned him before the court.
The former NDC Parliamentary aspirant for Keta had been charged with issuing a dud cheque contrary to sections 131 (A) (4) and (C) of the criminal and other offences Act
1960 (Act 29).
He had pleaded not guilty but the court found him guilty and sentenced him for 12 weeks and fined him Ghc4,800.
Additionally, the court also advised the plaintiff to take civil action against him.
Meanwhile, many are commending Mr. Stephen Attipoe for seeing through the prosecution of the man who is said to be facing another fraud charge before the Tema Circuit Court A.
It is believed that Mr. Fiadomor’s tactics were aimed to frustrate Mr. Attipoe into giving up on the money.
At a point, he is said to have promised to use his providence fund worth GH¢37,000 to repay part of the money he had borrowed from Mr. Attipoe but later took the money without repaying his debt.
Also, his decision to plead not guilty to the charge slapped on him was seen as a headstrong move to risk it all and go to jail and then return and enjoy the money after the criminal prosecution.
However, the court has advised Plaintiff to explore civil action against him as well. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Maritime-University-lecturer-jailed-for-defrauding-road-engineer-1539854 | 2022-05-17T02:30:48Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Maritime-University-lecturer-jailed-for-defrauding-road-engineer-1539854 | true | 2 |
Starbucks Corp. is expanding its U.S. health care benefits to cover travel for abortion and gender-affirming procedures.
Employees and their dependents who don’t have access to those procedures within 100 miles of their home can be reimbursed for eligible travel expenses, Starbucks said Monday in a blog post.
“Like many of you, I’m deeply concerned by the draft Supreme Court opinion related to the constitutional right to abortion that was first established by Roe v. Wade,” said Sara Kelly, acting executive vice president for employee resources, in the blog post.
The Seattle-based coffee chain joins a growing list of companies offering to cover travel expenses for workers seeking abortions and other procedures that aren’t available in their home states.
Starbucks has carefully cultivated its image over years as a progressive company, championing issues such as gay marriage and offering its workers better benefits than other big restaurant operators. Those credentials are being questioned, however, by workers participating in a growing unionization drive that has spread across the company’s U.S. locations.

Puppy found in stolen vehicle gets to ride home in police car
SAN BERNADINO, Calif. (Gray News) – An officer in San Bernadino took the time to reunite a puppy with its family after its owner was arrested, police said.
Over the weekend, officer Mireles was assisting on an occupied stolen vehicle call when he discovered a blue-nose pitbull puppy named Mickey inside the car. After arresting Mickey’s owner, officer Mireles gave the dog a ride back home in his police vehicle and released him to family members who were “happy to see him,” police said.
The San Bernadino Police Department shared photos of Mickey’s ride in the patrol car in a Facebook post.
“Before dropping Mickey off, officer Mireles told him to apply for a K-9 position when he gets older,” the department said. “Good job officer Mireles and keep up the good work!”

On Sunday May 15, the Ministry of Health and Social Services Senior Management and Nursing team met a delegation of NHS Medical Specialists who arrived at the John A. Osborne Airport. The delegation, consisting of three Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Nurses; one ICU Specialist Doctor and an Epidemiologist, will be supporting the ministry in patient care, as Montserrat is experiencing a COVID -19 spike.
Minister for Health, Hon. Charles Kirnon said: “We are extremely grateful for the continued support of the UK as we continue to face the many challenges associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, our health system has been under tremendous pressure and so on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, I welcome wholeheartedly the expertise of the NHS Medical Specialists and the invaluable support they bring to our health care system”.
Her Excellency the Governor Sarah Tucker commented: “As we face this very challenging time with Covid 19, I am thankful that the UK Health Security Agency, as part of the close partnership between the UK and Montserrat, is able to provide this support for us. I know the UKHSA team will work as one alongside our nurses and doctors and that the UK remains resolute in supporting us in our efforts against this pandemic”.
While the Ministry continues to seek out alternative solutions to the challenges posed by the current availability shortage of local medical staff, Montserrat will benefit from the support of the medical specialists for the next four weeks.
As we continue to deal with the current spike in COVID-19 cases, residents are urged to take all measures to protect themselves from the virus by practicing good hand hygiene, wearing face coverings in public spaces, adhering to quarantine and isolation protocols and vaccinating against this potentially deadly virus.
Additionally, infected people should seek medical attention at the earliest signs of severe symptoms such as shortness of breath or difficulty breathing and chest pains; by contacting the Flu-Hotline at 496.7437 or 493.4755. | https://discovermni.com/2022/05/16/uk-sends-five-medical-specialists-to-montserrat/ | 2022-05-17T02:34:47Z | https://discovermni.com/2022/05/16/uk-sends-five-medical-specialists-to-montserrat/ | true | 2 |
The Last Kingdom’s King Edward star ‘didn’t want to do’ pivotal season 5 scene
THE LAST KINGDOM star Timothy Innes has admitted he was originally reluctant to perform a key scene in the latest season as King Edward.
Alexander Dreymon thanks fans as The Last Kingdom wraps
Season five brought the Netflix historical drama to a cataclysmic conclusion earlier this year, though there is still one more final chapter for Uhtred of Bebbanburg (played by Alexander Dreymon) to go. As The Last Kingdom fans wait patiently for the upcoming feature film, Seven Kings Must Die, King Alfred star Timothy Innes has revealed some of the toughest moments from the set of the last season.
Series regular Timothy revealed he didn’t want to act out a key scene at the end of The Last Kingdom’s eighth episode of season five.
Towards the end of the final season, Uhtred finally learns of Aethelhelm’s (Adrian Schiller) location and launches an attack to rescue Aelfwynn (Phia Saban).
However, Edward is cautious, and instead proposes to sacrifice Aelfywnn to Constantin (Rod Hallett) and split Northumbria in two.
Discussing the dramatic turn for his character, Timothy likened Edward to a Marvel villain as Uhtred and their allies turned against him in this pivotal moment of the final season.

He recalled: “The end of episode eight when I’m, like, going against Uhtred and the Avengers… It was really, really horrible to play.
“You just have all the characters turning against you, and you’re just the single guy.”
Uhtred calls out Edward for cowardice, and finds the rest of his allies seem to be in agreement.
Alhelm (James Northcote) refuses to sacrifice Aelfwynn, and even Edward’s own son, Aethelstan (Harry Gilby), accuses him of betraying his Christian faith.
“I read that scene and the first time I read it I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this. I can’t, I don’t agree with this,'” Timothy told The Screen Chronicles podcast.
“I read it and put the script down in my room and was like, ‘That’s not what I’ve been playing.'”
The episode concludes with the whole council standing with the Mercian army, appalled with Edward’s decision to split Northumbria and lose Bebbanburg.
Edward then decides to lock the council inside and threaten death on anyone who tries to leave, though Uhtred remains unfazed.

As the fate of the kingdoms hangs in the balance, Timothy was shocked by his character’s complete change of values in the last crucial minutes.
He explained: “My whole objective has been to unite the kingdoms as Alfred wanted. And this is just going against his whole thing.
“So it took me… I had to really sit down with it, and think about it.”
Although he initially disagreed with the sudden developments, he nevertheless gave a shout-out to the episode's writer for introducing such a dramatic twist for the final chapter.
“Martha Hillier, who wrote the season, she wrote [the scene] for a reason,” he added. “And she’s a genius.
“So I sat down with it and empathised with the situation, and got over my own ego.
“I went to the character’s ego and found that part, which was good. Because it took, like, three and a half days to film.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — “Pomp and Circumstance” played as Stephen Curry stepped up to the podium after practice Monday as he prepared with the Golden State Warriors for the Western Conference Finals.
A playful, makeshift moment to honor his new status as college graduate.
Curry completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology to join the Davidson College class of 2022, even if he couldn't be there to walk for the commencement ceremony Sunday but watched on video.
He fulfilled a promise to mother Sonya that he would receive his degree. She had been bragging for the past decade that two of her children — son Seth and daughter Sydel — had college degrees.
“It's cool to kind of relive the sights and sounds of school and campus and all that,” Curry said. “This is a long time coming, obviously. Since I left campus it was a goal to finish. Just obviously a sense of accomplishment but a promise I made to my mom and Coach (Bob) McKillop when I left after my junior year. It was pretty special, they had the Fathead (cutout) over on campus in my honor.”
This marks another important accomplishment to add to a list that includes three NBA championships, two MVPs and a pair of scoring titles. Curry will receive his diploma at a later date. He completed his coursework 13 years after leaving Davidson a year early following his junior season, then was drafted by the Warriors seventh overall.
Next up is Gary Payton II, who said Sunday he is close to earning his degree from Oregon State in a month or so.
“It doesn't surprise me. We have guys who are really conscientious about the world beyond basketball and their impact in their communities. Also, Steph is a really curious guy, he's constantly trying to expand his horizons and getting his college degree was really important to him,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I think it's fantastic, and same with Gary. It's wonderful when you see guys go back and finish up.”
Curry also worked toward his major during the 2011 lockout then re-enrolled for this spring's semester.
His thesis was focused on advancing gender equity through sports and he even did a research project about tattoos and got his teammates who have ink involved by asking them about the meaning behind their choices and other details such as how they feel about the tattoos now.
“My guys helped me out on that research project,” Curry said.
He credited a half-dozen people for helping him get it done, including a former professor from Davidson now at UC Santa Cruz, another Davidson professor in collaboration with one at Stanford and even Davidson athletic director Chris Clunie.
Payton, one player who contributed to the tattoos project, congratulated Curry on Sunday. Curry watched the ceremony over live stream and was announced as “Wardell Stephen Curry II.”
“I told him that's huge, a big relief off his shoulders I can imagine,” Payton said. “So, yeah, I'm proud of 30 getting that done. It took a couple years after but it doesn't matter as long as you get the paper, that's all that matters. I'm proud and excited for 30.”

Cadillac Lyric EV will boast 300-mile range; GM offers customers choice of 2 charging deals
The Cadillac 2023 Lyriq SUV will top 300 miles in range and offer two new colors, but it is getting a price bump from initial estimates.
General Motors will open the order banks for the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models of the Lyriq, a two-row SUV, starting Thursday.
The rear-wheel drive Lyriq will start at $62,990, a $3,000 price bump from the Lyriq Debut edition. The all-wheel drive model starts at $64,990. Initial deliveries of the all-wheel drive model will start early next year and the EPA-estimated range for that model will be announced closer to the start of production.
To encourage adoption, GM will also offer special charging options such as public charging credits or a discount on at-home installation. Cadillac is also offering two new exterior colors: Opulent Blue Metallic and Crystal White Tricoat.
THE DASH FOR. POWER: As electric vehicle sales surge, public charging stations in the U.S. lag
“These are important steps for Cadillac as we make good on our promise to deliver an EV offering more than 300 miles of range and move toward an all-electric portfolio by 2030,” said Global Cadillac Vice President Rory Harvey on Monday.
The rear-wheel drive Lyriq will have an estimated 340 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. of torque and an AWD model, with the addition of a second drive unit, is expected to deliver 500 horsepower and a 3,500-pound trailering capacity.
Harvey said Cadillac has 250,000 hand-raisers and "time will tell how many of those will convert into actual sales." But of those interested in the Lyriq, 70% are new to Cadillac and 68% are of younger generation, bringing down the average age of the brand's customer.
Most importantly, Harvey said about a third of those interested in the vehicle are from the western part of the United States where Cadillac has not typically had strong sales, so "we're really, really pleased" with potential sales increase on the West Coast.
The Lyriq is critical to GM's luxury brands success consider GM had tagged Cadillac to be the first of its brands to have an all-electric lineup by 2030.
CHARGING AN EV AT HOME, IN PUBLIC: Everything to know about cost, time, stations
More range, higher price
The Lyriq is the first EV in Cadillac's lineup and it will be the cornerstone for Cadillac's future.
A flagship hand-built sedan called the Celestiq has been teased, but Cadillac is not providing a launch date.
Cadillac has future plans for a small SUV similar to the compact XT4, as well as a three-row bigger SUV and a full-size SUV that Cadillac leaders have described as Escalade-inspired.
Harvey hinted Monday to reporters that "up next" is an EV comparable to the XT4.
The Lyriq, which is being assembled at Spring Hill Assembly in Tennessee, will get an estimated 312 miles of range on a full charge, Harvey said. GM was able to squeeze out those extra 12 miles because of GM's Ultium platform’s energy recovery system, which during braking, captures and repurposes waste energy from the battery to extend the charge.
Ultium, which will underpin and propel all of GM's upcoming new EVs, can also help reduce the battery energy needed for heating the car. GM said it can increase charging speed and improve how the car drives. The 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup, which is out now, is on the Ultium platform, but the Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV are not.
NEED TO CHARGE YOUR EV? These apps can help you find a station
In April 2021, GM had said the Lyriq would start below $60,000, but GM spokeswoman Paige Tatulli said that was a special offer.
"With the launch of the 2023 Lyriq Debut Edition, we offered a special price for our first EV customers of $59,990," Tatulli said. "As we move into the regular lifecycle of the vehicle, we’ve adjusted pricing to reflect the content of the vehicle."
Tatulli said the starting price of $62,990 for the RWD model is competitive in the luxury mid-size SUV segment.
That's accurate considering the estimated starting price of the 2023 BMW iX is $85,000, according to Kelley Blue Book. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQC is expected to start at $70,000. The 2022 Jaguar I-Pace starts at $69,900. The 2023 Tesla Model Y subcompact SUV is expected to start at $61,000.
Harvey said the $3,000 price boost does not necessarily reflect an increase in commodity costs.
"I don't think it was one thing in isolation, it was a number of things taken into factor," Harvey told reporters. "It was our intention, when we opened the order bank for the Debut Edition, that we would adjust the pricing for" the regular lifecycle models.
He said there is no added content to the regular models, "the only change is the ability to order all-wheel drive."
Charging options
To encourage EV adoption, Cadillac is making Lyriq customers a deal.
All who buy a 2023 model can select either two years of unlimited public charging credits at EVgo charging stations or a credit of up to $1,500 toward home charger installation through Qmerit, which is a nationwide network that helps owners find qualified Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment installers.
Customers who select the home charger installation credit can use for "eligible professional installation of a Level 2 charger" or a 240-volt DC-fast charger outlet at home through Qmerit. A Level 2 charger uses a standard 120-volt AC outlet.
The offer will "elevate" customers’ experiences and help them "make a smoother, more transparent transition to all-electric driving,” said Harvey. “The charging experience will set the standard for customers’ EV experiences.”
RENTER'S DILEMMA: Apartment, condo dwellers have no place to plug in EVs
Chris Hay, Cadillac’s global dealer network director, said the $1,500 should cover most of the cost to install a basic fast-charger wall mount.
The at-home Level 2 chargers can add up to 52 miles of range per hour of charging, Cadillac said in a statement. A DC fast charger provides about 76 miles of range in about 10 minutes of charging time.
The Lyriq comes with a portable dual-level cord set charger that can be used on both 120-volt and 240-volt outlets. Through Cadillac, customers can buy faster wall-mounted charging stations. A 240-volt outlet or wall charger can cut the time to charge a depleted battery from three days to overnight, Cadillac said.

WASHINGTON – U.S. authorities said Monday that they stopped migrants more than 234,000 times in April, one of the highest marks in decades as the Biden administration prepares to lift pandemic-era restrictions on claiming asylum.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials made 234,088 stops on the Mexican border last month, a 5.8% increase from 221,303 in March, according to a Justice Department filing in a lawsuit filed by Texas and Missouri.
The April total would have been lower without more than 23,000 people — many of them Ukrainian refugees admitted on humanitarian parole — who went through a San Diego border crossing. The number of Ukrainians has dropped sharply since April 25, when the administration began directing those fleeing Russia's invasion to U.S. airports from Europe, instead of through Mexico.
On May 23, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to end restrictions that have prevented migrants from seeking asylum under U.S. law and international treaty on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19. Migrants have been expelled more than 1.9 million times since March 2020 under Title 42 authority, named for a 1944 public health law.
A federal judge in Louisiana is expected to rule in favor of 24 states seeking to keep Title 42 in effect while litigation proceeds. U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, has said he will rule before May 23.
Even if the judge allows Title 42 to end, Congress may try to keep it alive in an alliance between Republicans and some Democrats who worry that a widely anticipated increase in illegal crossings will put them on the defensive in an already difficult midterm election year. | https://www.click2houston.com/news/politics/2022/05/17/migrant-border-entries-rise-in-april-boosted-by-ukrainians/ | 2022-05-17T02:45:19Z | https://www.click2houston.com/news/politics/2022/05/17/migrant-border-entries-rise-in-april-boosted-by-ukrainians/ | false | 19 |
(NEXSTAR) – Amid a nationwide baby formula shortage that has parents scrambling to feed their little ones, breast milk banks across the country are seeing a surge in interest.
The calls are coming in from both parents of formula-fed babies who suddenly can’t find their brand on shelves, as well as nursing mothers with excess supply who want to donate.
The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), an accrediting organization for nonprofit milk banks, is seeing a “major increase” in demand, according to Lindsay Groff, the group’s executive director. She estimates inquiries from parents seeking to fill the formula gap are up 20% in recent days.
Groff called the shortage a “crisis” and said it’s not as simple as parents just supplementing with donated human milk, because the vast majority of those supplies are earmarked for babies with medical conditions.
If you are interested in donating milk, the HMBANA has a curated list of vetted milk banks across the U.S. After going through a screening process, you can drop milk off in person or use overnight shipping at no cost, according to the Texas-based organization.
Milk banks in Texas, California, Colorado and other states have put out a call for donations in the past couple of months amid a shortage exacerbated by supply chain issues and formula recalls.
Dr. Lisa Stellwagen said San Diego-based University of California Health Milk Bank is focusing on helping babies with health problems whose mothers’ milk might be insufficient.
“It’s premature babies,” explained Dr. Lisa Stellwagen. “Babies with cardiac illness and other sick babies that would be typically given donor milk if mother’s milk was insufficient.”
“We’re really not talking about healthy, full term babies unless the family has an interest in feeding the baby donor milk,” she continued. “We’re talking about these really, very ill children.”
It’s not just donors reaching out to milk banks, though. Parents desperately seeking nutrition for their babies are pursuing milk banks as well.
At the Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, based in Newton, Massachusetts, people are now calling looking for milk because they can’t find their baby’s usual formula, Deborah Youngblood, the bank’s executive director said. That’s up from nearly no calls at all, since the milk bank typically serves hospitals.
Parents are also turning to online breastmilk-swapping forums to meet their babies’ needs.
Amanda Kastelein, a mother of three from Middlebury, Connecticut, has been supplementing the special formula she needs for 10-month-old Emerson with breast milk from a mom she found on a peer-to-peer Facebook page called Human Milk 4 Human Babies.
Kastelein stopped breastfeeding after getting recurring infections, but tried to begin re-lactating in March after the formula recall, with little success.
“Emerson is allergic to most of the formulas, so it’s been difficult to find something he’s not allergic to,” she said.
In stepped Hannah Breton of Naugatuck, Connecticut, who had been producing more milk than her 2 1/2-month-old son needs. She’s been giving Kastelein about 60 ounces of milk every two weeks. That’s enough to supplement her formula supply and keep Emerson fed.
“She asked a bunch of questions — what medications I’m taking, if any, that kind of thing,” Breton said. “So we decided, ‘OK, that’s perfect.’ So, she comes by every couple weeks and picks up the milk I’ve been saving for her.”
“I do feel helpful,” she added. “It’s exciting and rewarding that I can give to a mom that can’t find what she’s looking for, and if her son can’t take formula, I mean, it’s scary.
Rebecca Heinrich, director of the Mothers’ Milk Bank in Colorado, advises those looking for milk that searching for donors on their own can carry risks.
“We want to make sure that these moms are being as safe as they can and meeting the needs of their infant, so consulting with their health-care provider on how to meet those needs is the best way to go,” she said.
The shortage creates difficulties, particularly for lower-income families after the recall by formula maker Abbott, stemming from contamination concerns. The recall depleted many brands covered by WIC, a federal program like food stamps serving women, infants and children, though it now permits brand substitutes.
Abbott said Monday it has reached an agreement with U.S. health regulators to restart production at its largest domestic factory, though it will be well over a month before any new products ship from the site to help alleviate the national shortage facing parents.
Abbott did not immediately detail the terms of the agreement with the Food and Drug Administration, which has been investigating safety concerns at its Sturgis, Michigan, plant since early this year. The consent decree amounts to a legally binding agreement between the FDA and the company on steps needed to reopen the factory.
An FDA spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the announcement Monday evening.

Obvious and the Hidden at Cape Kiwanda: Deep Inside the Oregon Coast Landmark
Published 05/08/22 at 2:55 AM PST
By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff
(Pacific City, Oregon) – Where the Three Capes Tour begins (or ends, depending on how you think of it), the southern end starts off with one of these famed capes. In fact, if you're heading up Highway 101 on the north Oregon coast, just before that fork leading west or north, Cape Kiwanda's Haystack Rock suddenly looms in the distance. (All photos Oregon Coast Beach Connection)
The rock, Kiwanda's sort of geologic companion, juts up over the trees, almost appearing to float. It seems massive and even a little foreboding from this angle – but it's a brief glimpse. Soon you've ducked into the forest along the road to Pacific City and it doesn't emerge again until you're in town and can see the bulk of Cape Kiwanda itself. It's just one of many subtle surprises in this area.
If you're thinking this name of Haystack Rock is familiar, yes, there's an even more famous one at Cannon Beach. The little startler the Oregon coast has in store for you is that there's a third one down in Bandon.
Once in Pacific City, the natural wonders spring up all over.
There's plenty here that's obvious: the wondrously sweeping cliffs of Cape Kiwanda, tidepools at low tide, and the numerous quaint shops and eateries. Get up on top of the cape and it's like a vast alien landscape – like maybe Star Trek: Strange New Worlds should start filming here. It's beautiful and freaky at the same time.
Something few know: Cape Kiwanda is disappearing. But its rate of erosion would be much worse were it not for Haystack Rock. It deflects some of the wave action. Just What is Cape Kiwanda on Oregon's Coast? And Why It's Falling Apart
Kiwanda's sand dune top towers over everything, with ragged, wind-worn trees scattered over this monstrosity. Fun but odd geologic fact: these massive sands are fed by the big dunes complex to the north at Sand Lake.
These days, the cape is a bit more fenced off than it used to be, a safety measure implemented by state parks because of all the accidents incurred. People couldn't stop jumping the barriers that were already there. However, the new fencing layout allows for awe-inspiring views and photo opps than before, letting you catch glimpses of some of the cape's more dramatic textures and shapes. New Beach Driving Restrictions, Fencing At Oregon Coast's Cape Kiwanda
Head north along the cape and you'll see the complexity of the place: a series of islands that are chunks of the cape that have broken off.
Whale watching atop Kiwanda is also prime.
However, for less populated fun and frolic, hit the unmarked State Park one mile north of the Kiwanda's parking lot (a small road darting down the hill on the west side of the highway.) There, you'll find a small outcropping with basalt columns that look a bit like ruins, and a few indentations in the rock to make for great cuddling or hiding from the wind.
In winter, if sand levels get low enough, you can see the eerie-looking remnants of a ghost forest here, small stumps some 4,000 years old.
Then, for some real alone time, walk south, towards the much less-seen north side of the cape, and encounter more natural wonders along this immaculate stretch of sand. From down below, those islands form a kind of canyon filled with chaotic, mesmerizing sea water.
This part of Cape Kiwanda is a truly singular experience: but it requires almost a mile worth of walking.

Crochet or not to crochet, that is the question.
I've dug out the old crochet hook, now that the cooler months are upon us. Some of you might remember my first foray into crocheting back in 2018 when I, with the help of Maree from Skeinz, attempted my first granny square to make it into a blanket. I was terrible at it but loved the methodical process.
So it was this inner urge and a few hints that meant four years later I got crochet hooks for Mother's Day.
I had visions of me gallivanting around town with a beautiful crocheted scarf around my neck.

Advertise with NZME.In this dream, strangers would stop and ask me where I got such a beautiful creation and I would say 'what, this scarf? Oh, I made it myself' as I walked off secretly smug in my own cleverness and the warmth of the wool.
But here's where it starts to unravel. When you are choosing yarn for your special project, it's very difficult.
You can't exactly open a whole ball and wrap it around your neck to see if it will be comfortable or not. So short of squeezing all the yarn in the shop for itchiness, I caressed quite a few, and settled on a big ply that felt very nice to the touch.
My son also learnt to knit at the same time thanks to YouTube and we became that crafty family, whiling away the hours in front of the fire. I loved it.
When it was finished, I was so excited. The colour was a lovely duck egg glacier blue, and for my first attempt I thought it looked pretty good.
Saturday morning rugby rolled around and I donned my Kate Middletonesque boots and wrapped my beautiful handmade scarf around my neck.
It took a second or two for the joy to turn to tears, but there was no denying it. I had made the most uncomfortable, itchy scarf known to man, or woman as the case may be. It was unwearable. I was gutted.
Not to worry, said my kids, and 'nek minnit' my itchy neck scarf had found its true calling…. a belt to be worn around your waist when you're getting pulled along by your brother on your skateboard.

Geri Jewell was born into trauma. Born at three pounds, she was the smallest premature baby and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Her mother treated Geri as "as one of the bunch."
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Born into Trauma: Geri Jewell is best known as Cousin Geri on the NBC's sitcom, The Facts of Life and HBO's Deadwood. She began doing standup at the Comedy Store in 1978.

Post-Traumatic Thriving is a podcast that addresses the toughest issues around trauma and recovery. Unresolved trauma is the #1 problem facing humanity, with 66% to 85% of all college-age people having experienced at least one traumatic event.
Unresolved trauma fuels self-medication, depression, and violent crime. Unprocessed, trauma can lead to suicide, the leading cause of death in the United States according to the National Institute of Mental Health. This podcast takes on the issues by:
- Featuring guests who not only survived trauma but are thriving
- Delivering the science and art of resilience
- Giving practical tips to move forward
- Building a community of survivors and thrivers
Dr. Bell is a sociologist and economist who specializes in disaster recovery projects. "We can tap into trauma and make it the fuel to thrive," says Dr. Randall Bell, and the author of the bestselling book, Post-Traumatic Thriving.
Ms. Tanya Brown, MA is the author of Finding Peace Amid the Chaos. The 1994 death of Tanya's sister Nicole Brown Simpson generated a media frenzy around O.J. Simpson. Today, she is a celebrity author, and a motivational speaker and life coach. When facing trauma Tanya said, "You need to ask for help."

MOUNT AIRY, N.C. (WGHP) —Maggie Peterson, well-known for her role as Charlene Darling in “The Andy Griffith Show” has passed away.
A post to Peterson’s Facebook page says the 81-year-old passed away in her sleep Sunday surrounded by family. Peterson’s health had taken a “turn for the worse after the death of her husband Gus [Mancuso].” He died of Alzheimer’s disease last year, according to the Associated Press.
The Andy Griffith Museum also paid tribute to Peterson, saying in part, “Maggie will forever be remembered by Mayberry Fans as Charlene Darling … We will miss you Maggie.”
In one episode of the show, Charlene fell for Sheriff Andy Taylor.
Peterson also appeared in “Casino, “Love American Style,” “Green Acres,” “Gomer Pyle USMC,” and “The Odd Couple.” She appeared in an episode of “Mayberry R.F.D.,” the films “Return to Mayberry,” “The Love God?,” and “Angel in My Pocket.”
Her most recent projects, according to IMDb, include “Pay It Forward” in 2000 and “Mars Attacks!” in 1996.
Peterson’s family says a private service will be planned in the next few weeks.
A fellow actor from “The Andy Griffith Show,” Betty Lynn, best known for her role as Barney Fife’s sweetheart Thelma Lou, died in October after a brief illness. She was 95.

Barnette says she had a ‘wonderful time’ at Jan. 6 rally
GOP Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette said during a Monday interview on Fox News that she had a “wonderful time” in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, the date of the Capitol riot.
Barnette was asked by Fox’s Bret Baier about images circulating of her marching near the Capitol on Jan. 6, which showed her near people connected to the Proud Boys, a far-right group involved in the attack.
Barnette said she was “not with the Proud Boys” but was “out there because I wanted to hear what the president had to say.”
“As a law-abiding American citizen, I had every right to go to a rally in support of my president. That is what I was doing there,” the conservative commentator asserted. “We had a wonderful time. We prayed. We listened to what the president had to say. We hung out.”
“We walked and sang songs, and then we got on our bus and left and came back home,” Barnette added.
When asked specifically about the photos of who she was marching with that day, Barnette said, “I have no idea who these people are that I was walking with,” adding, “The media is smearing my name and sowing seeds of disinformation in order to suppress my vote and steal this election from me.”
Just one day before the state’s 2022 primary, polling of likely GOP primary voters showed Barnette running a close second, with 24 percent support.
Her nearest opponents, celebrity surgeon Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund manager Dave McCormick, had 28 percent and 21 percent, respectively.
Oz has the endorsement of former President Trump, one of several Republicans who has warned that Barnette could struggle in a general election because of her past rhetoric.

Small businesses honored by area chambers
HENDERSON — Each year, Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce President Michele Burgess wonders if the previous crop of Small Business of the Year nominees can be topped.
The 2021 field did not disappoint.
Its winners were crowned Wednesday at Henderson Country Club during an annual luncheon hosted by four area chambers of commerce and the Vance-Granville Community College Small Business Center.
“We just think every year we can’t get anybody better,” Burgess said, “but then we get some more names and we’re like, ‘Oh yeah.’ ”
Small Business of the Year winners, chosen by an anonymous committee, were announced Wednesday by the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce as well as the Granville County Chamber of Commerce, Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, and the Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce.
Country Snacks Manufacturing earned the nod from Henderson-Vance and Oxford’s Huff Consulting took the top honor from Granville County. Franklin County selected Cook Shack Catering as its winner, and REMAX Premier Realty received recognition from the Roxboro Chamber.
The awards portion of the event followed an address from guest speakers Miles Kirksey and Torie Keeton of the N.C. Rural Center. The program also included remarks from Tanya Evans, representing Small Business of the Year award sponsor Duke Energy as well Sheri Jones, the director of VGCC’s Small Business Center.
HENDERSON-VANCE
Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce Chairperson Ronald Bennett presented Country Snacks Manufacturing’s award, surprising the audience by pulling out a yellow-labeled bag of Carolina Country Snacks fried pork fat back and raising it with his right hand to showcase one of their popular products.
“Has anyone else seen these bags?” Bennett said.
“This locally-owned Country Snacks Manufacturing began in the year 2000,” Bennett added, “and has brought positive recognition to our community with each package of pork skins, proudly printed with ‘Henderson, North Carolina’ and a Bible verse on the back.”
Country Snacks President Angela Jacobs took over the reins of the business from the founder, her father Dwight Frazier.
The company grew from six employees at its start to more than 35 and in recent years, expanded to a national market.
Burgess credited the Frazier and Jacobs families for keeping the business in the family, and praised the public-spirited Angela Jacobs, who serves on the Henderson-Vance Chamber Board of Directors and is involved in a number of other community services.
“The pork skins — you just see it everywhere,” Burgess said. “When their trucks are going down [Interstate 40] going to Wilmington, when you go into Richmond, when you go into a convenience store. They’re everywhere. So that part of it is just giving great exposure to Vance County because Henderson, N.C. is on the back of the bag.”
GRANVILLE
Huff Consulting was founded in 2010 out of Randall Huff’s home but the company moved to Oxford’s Williamsboro Street in August 2021.
A major part of the consulting firm’s present offerings center around helping businesses with staffing and employee retention.
Granville Chamber Executive Director Lauren Roberson also touted Huff Consulting’s presence in the community, including their involvement in a recent autism fundraiser.
“So they’re giving back to the community,” Roberson said, “but also what they do as a business is so critical right now with our workforce shortage.”
Huff called the firm’s move to Williamsboro Street, and all that came with it, a “blessing” and that he knows Huff Consulting has found the right place.
“We look forward to being a pillar of the community for a long time,” Huff said.
RURAL LIFE
Kirksey, N.C. Rural Center’s Advocacy Engagement Coordinator, cited a N.C. Secretary of State report that 300,000 new businesses have been registered in the state since 2020. Last year, the 178,300 new business creation filings were more than double the amount registered four years prior.
Kirksey said rural areas have been impacted by what he called the “small business boom.”
The Rural Center serves the state’s 78 rural counties with an emphasis on individuals with low to moderate incomes and communities with limited resources.
“Rural is not just a place,” Kirksey said. “It’s a way of life. And a lot of us wouldn’t trade it for what they’ve got going on in Wake County, Durham County, etcetera.”
FAMILY
The majority of Henderson-Vance Chamber members are small businesses, the “backbone” of the Chamber as Burgess referred to them.
Running a small business is an exercise in resourcefulness.
“They don’t have the IT departments to call on when their computer goes down,” Burgess said. “They don’t have the HR department to call on when they need to hire somebody. They don’t have the financial department to call on to get the audit done or get the payroll done. It is like one-, two- and three-men shops sometimes and they are staying up late at night to put the payroll in, to figure out, ‘How am I going to get these positions filled?’ ”
It’s more like a family, Jacobs posited.
“You’re with them almost as much or more as you are with your own family,” said Jacobs. “So that’s how we think of Country Snacks Manufacturing and I would bet that’s how every small business feels. You’re able to really invest in the individuals that you work with.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2602714768205/small-businesses-honored-by-area-chambers | 2022-05-17T03:34:25Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2602714768205/small-businesses-honored-by-area-chambers | true | 1 |
Piano Software Relocates Global Headquarters to Amsterdam to Reflect Steadfast Commitment to European Data Protection
Company reinforces global operations, staff distribution and commitment to data privacy for digital analytics and activation tools
AMSTERDAM, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Piano, a leading digital experience platform, today announced that Amsterdam will become its new global headquarters. The relocation reinforces Piano's commitment to European ideals around data protection and developing software that respects the boundaries set forth by the GDPR and other local regulations around the world.
Since its founding, Piano has acquired companies based in France, Germany, Norway, Slovakia and elsewhere. These transactions and Piano's organic growth have forged a global footprint with its strongest presence in Europe, including more than two-thirds of Piano employees and over half the organization's revenue. Piano has considered Amsterdam its European commercial hub since 2018, and the company will open a new flagship office in the city later this summer.
Piano's software suite has been developed in Europe as an end-to-end solution for organizations to understand their customers and engage them digitally at every touchpoint in their user journey. Its advanced digital analytics tool, Piano Analytics, was built purposefully and entirely in France in adherence with the world's strictest data protection rules.
"In the midst of a 'big tech' reckoning, I'm very proud that Piano has remained true to our values around making great software for good purpose. Europe is leading the way in data privacy, and with the majority of our operations being in Europe anyway, we felt it was time to make our commitment to Europe and to data protections clear," said Trevor Kaufman, CEO, Piano. "Amsterdam has been a strong European commercial center for Piano for the last four years, so we're excited to deepen our investment in the city and continue to grow as part of its exciting tech community."
As the future of the internet shifts away from anonymous tracking and toward a consent-based system with users in control, committing to the EU's leadership allows Piano to continue offering solutions that help brands and publishers reach their data goals while maintaining trust with their own customers.
A truly global company, Piano employs more than 650 staff across 15 offices worldwide, including Amsterdam, Paris, Singapore, Berlin, Buenos Aires, New York, and Tokyo. The company has continued to expand its global presence and product offering with the acquisitions of AT Internet and CeleraOne in 2021, and SocialFlow in 2022. Piano has grown more than 240% in the last two years and has been recognized annually on the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists.
About Piano
Piano's Digital Experience Platform empowers organizations to understand and influence customer behavior. By unifying customer data, analyzing behavior metrics and creating personalized customer journeys, Piano helps brands launch campaigns and products faster, strengthen customer engagement and drive personalization at scale from a single platform. Headquartered in Amsterdam with offices across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, Piano serves a global client base, including Air France, the BBC, CBS, IBM, Kirin Holdings, Jaguar Land Rover, Nielsen, The Wall Street Journal and more. Piano has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing, most innovative technology companies in the world by World Economic Forum, Inc., Deloitte, American City Business Journals and more.
