'Devastating': Vancouver dad's tweet about son's empty birthday party strikes nerve
A Vancouver dad whose son is on the autism spectrum took to social media to share how painful it was to see only one classmate at his birthday party. Now, he's receiving a flood of support that he hopes marks the start of an important conversation.
David Chen is a father of four and has planned and attended his fair share of kids' birthday parties. So when Max was turning six, he sent out invitations, rented out an indoor playground, assembled goodie bags, and bought enough cupcakes for all 19 kids in the class.
'IN THAT MOMENT, THE EMPTINESS HIT'
The party was set for Saturday and cancelling was not an option, even though 16 of the 19 families of Max's classmates had not replied to the invitation. Even as he tried to make the best of the situation, Chen said he was struck with sadness when he looked around and saw no one sitting at the child-sized tables or playing on the jungle gym.
"I thought I was OK with not a lot of people coming out, but in that moment, that emptiness hit," he said.
"I thought, I can't be the only one that's gone through something like this, and this must traumatize people. So I thought I'd put it out there … It was just devastating."
Since he tweeted, he's received hundreds and hundreds of responses. Many are from parents whose children are also "the different kid in the class," while others are from adults who still remember exactly what it was like to be in Max's position.
"One which still makes my heart bleed right now thinking about it is they said, 'It happened to me 30 years ago. I just keep thinking about that echo, about how much it has impacted someone, this very simple thing of a class birthday party,'" Chen tells CTV News.
One of the things that was most difficult, Chen says, was seeing that Max was disappointed. While his son has some difficulty describing what he is feeling, Chen knew when Max said "It was fine," it actually wasn't.\
Max's teacher was among those who saw the post and worked with Chen to throw a party in the classroom Monday. The uneaten cupcakes and undistributed goodie bags were shared with the whole class.
"When he came back and I asked him, 'How was it?' He goes, 'I loved it!'" Chen says.
"For someone who can't verbalize his emotions, I have to go off of his reactions. And it's such a difference. It was really good that they tried their best to fix the situation, and seeing the difference in his face today was magnificent."
'WE ALL NEED TO LEARN TO DO THIS BETTER'
While Chen is happy his son got a party, he says the experience has made him very aware of how significant these experiences can be for children and families. He's drafted a guide for the PAC to distribute with packages welcoming families at the start of the school year that addresses birthday parties.
The first thing he hopes is that families will realize how important it is just to respond to the invitation when it's sent out. The uncertainty he faced when he didn’t hear back from most parents is something Chen said created a lot of worry and grief.
The next is that he hopes these things can be planned in a way that will break down some unnecessary barriers and make the events more inclusive. For example, Chen says some families opt out of these events because they can’t afford to buy a gift and feel ashamed about showing up without one. Others might not be able to eat the food most commonly served, like pizza or hot dogs.
"We need to all learn how to do this better. We only have a very finite period at which point we can actually invite a whole class. And once that period is gone, it's gone forever. And so this is where I think a lot of good can come out of this," he says.
"We have to celebrate our differences and just be stronger together. Because honestly, inside we're all the same."
Chen says he's also been busy trying to connect with everyone who reached out after his initial tweet.
"Especially for people who've experienced this, they are left out. So imagine if they left a comment and they never heard back? That's more being left out. That's why there's a part of me that's like 'I've got to answer every single one if I can."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months after the signing of President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package, the government said Monday there are 4,300 projects underway with more than $110 billion in funding announced — milestones the administration is publicly heralding as midterm politics intensify.
White House senior adviser Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, said the roads, bridges and other projects are laying “a foundation for tremendous growth into the future.” Landrieu said Biden and members of his administration have made more than 125 trips to highlight the bipartisan investments in infrastructure. He declined to predict how much the storytelling will resonate with voters as construction starts.
“I think that if Americans step back, we will all have to admit that for the last 50 years we’ve had the need to do this and we haven’t found the will or the way to get it done,” Landrieu told reporters. He added that this is a “wonderful down payment” on infrastructure needs in the country that total roughly $7 trillion.
The administration made a strategic calculation that delivering results would help Democrats retain control of the House and the Senate in this year’s elections. Infrastructure was a rare source of bipartisan unity as Biden struck a deal that attracted several Republican senators. The law contains money to expand internet access and replace lead water pipes and for rail and public transit projects and investments to address climate change.
When Biden signed the law on Nov. 15, he pledged to voters that “America is moving again and your life is going to change for the better.”
Six months later, the stock market is down, inflation is near a 40-year peak, Russia’s war in Ukraine is pushing up energy costs and many Americans feel pessimistic about the economy’s health. There is an open question whether voters will reward infrastructure projects in which the benefits are years away as part of what Biden has portrayed as an “infrastructure decade.”
“All we can do is tell the story about what we do, and the impact that it has on the midterms will be whatever it’s going to be,” Landrieu said.
Of the $110 billion announced so far, $52.5 billion is for federal highway funding this fiscal year and $20.5 billion for public transit. There is another $27 billion over five years for bridges, as well as money for safety, rural highways, airports, ports, drought resilience and other programs.
The infrastructure spending is also one area where political leaders will have to share credit with each other. Governors and mayors are responsible for 90% of the expenditures in the law, while the federal government accounts for 10% of the spending. The administration has actively tried to help state and local governments compete for the money, with Landrieu noting that even Republican critics are generally eager to receive the funding.
“Some really smart person said, you know, even those people that voted no want the dough,” he said. “This is as close to consensus in my political life that I have seen.”
The Commerce Department last week called on states to begin the process of submitting their plans for universal access to high-speed internet. Biden has also taken steps to maximize the likelihood that construction materials are made domestically, as the money has started to go out.
Landrieu said the two biggest challenges of coordinating the spending have involved offering technical assistance to smaller governments and enabling workforce development to fill the jobs being created. There are 7.6 million construction jobs in the U.S., with employers advertising about 400,000 openings in the sector.
Landrieu said that those challenges are also “an unbelievable opportunity to get right something that we actually haven’t been collectively very good at in the country.”
If the government succeeds with coordination and future administrations follow suit, Landrieu said, “America is going to grow exponentially faster and winning the 21st century is not going to be a challenge for us.” | https://www.mystateline.com/news/politics/6-months-in-bidens-infrastructure-plan-has-4300-projects/ | 2022-05-17T03:51:40Z | https://www.mystateline.com/news/politics/6-months-in-bidens-infrastructure-plan-has-4300-projects/ | false | 28 |

ALTOONA, Pa (WTAJ) — Evan Alwine’s sac-fly in the 11th inning lifts Altoona to a 4-3 win over Red Land Monday.
Initially a pitcher’s duel Monday, both teams withstood seventh inning rallies. Down 1-0, Red Land hung three runs in the seventh inning to take a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh.
But that’s when Altoona fought back, and a Lucas Muffie hit off the third base bag help send the game into extra innings where the Mountain Lions would eventually win, earning a share of the Mid Penn championship. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/sports/local-sports/walk-off-lifts-altoona-past-red-land-in-extras/ | 2022-05-17T04:01:43Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/sports/local-sports/walk-off-lifts-altoona-past-red-land-in-extras/ | false | null |

Ukraine's military says it is working to evacuate all remaining troops from their last stronghold in the besieged port of Mariupol, ceding control of the city to Russia after months of bombardment.
The evacuation likely marked the end of the longest and bloodiest battle of the Ukraine war and a significant defeat for Ukraine. Mariupol is now in ruins after a Russian siege that Ukraine says killed tens of thousands of people in the city.
With the rest of Mariupol firmly in Russian hands, hundreds of Ukrainian troops and civilians had holed up beneath the city's Azovstal steelworks. Civilians inside were evacuated in recent weeks, and more than 260 troops, some of them wounded, left the plant for Russian-controlled areas late on Monday.
"The 'Mariupol' garrison has fulfilled its combat mission," the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said in a statement announcing evacuations.
"The supreme military command ordered the commanders of the units stationed at Azovstal to save the lives of the personnel... Defenders of Mariupol are the heroes of our time," it added.
Ukraine's deputy defence minister said 53 injured troops from the Azovstal steelworks were taken to a hospital in the Russian-controlled town of Novoazovsk, some 32km to the east.
Another 211 people were taken to the town of Olenivka, in an area controlled by Russian-backed separatists, Deputy Defence Minister Anna Malyar said. All of the evacuees will be subject to a potential prisoner exchange with Russia, she added.
It was not clear how many troops remained in Azovstal. Ukraine's military said efforts were under way to evacuate those still inside.
Reuters saw five buses carrying troops from Azovstal arrive in Novoazovsk late on Monday. Some of the evacuated troops were wounded and carried out of the buses on stretchers. Some 600 troops were believed to have been inside the steel plant.
"We hope that we will be able to save the lives of our guys," Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an early morning address. "There are severely wounded ones among them. They're receiving care. Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive."
Arriving in Novoazovsk in a bus marked with Z, a symbol for Russia's invasion, men could be seen stacked on stretchers on three levels. They stared out the windows without reacting. One man was wheeled out, his head tightly wrapped in thick bandages.
Since Russia launched its invasion in February, Mariupol's devastation has become a symbol both of Ukraine's resistance and of Russia's willingness to devastate Ukrainian cities that hold out.
The first evacuations late on Monday came hours after Russia said it had agreed to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers to a medical facility in Novoazovsk.
LVIV EXPLOSIONS, KHARKIV FIGHTING
Moscow calls its nearly three-month-old invasion a "special military operation" to rid Ukraine of fascists, an assertion Kyiv and its Western allies say is a baseless pretext for an unprovoked war.
Russia's invading forces have run into apparent setbacks, with troops forced out of the north and the environs of Kyiv in late March. A Ukrainian counterattack in recent days has driven Russian forces out of the area near Kharkiv, the biggest city in the east.
Areas around Kyiv and the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border, have continued to come under Russian attack. A series of explosions struck Lviv early on Tuesday, a Reuters witness said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
On Monday, Ukraine's defence ministry troops had advanced all the way to the Russian border, about 40 km north of Kharkiv.
The successes near Kharkiv could let Ukraine attack supply lines for Russia's main offensive, grinding on further south in the Donbas region, where Moscow has been launching mass assaults for a month yet achieving only small gains. | https://www.odt.co.nz/news/world/ukraine-soldiers-evacuated-ruined-mariupol | 2022-05-17T04:02:32Z | https://www.odt.co.nz/news/world/ukraine-soldiers-evacuated-ruined-mariupol | false | 3 |

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Chief Williams of the Springfield Police Department gave an update on crime in Springfield during the Springfield City Council Meeting on Monday, May 16.
Chief Williams said that overall, crime is down 22% in Springfield, a large percentage of which is due to a 35% drop in auto theft from last year.
Catalytic converter thefts have dropped by 56% as well, according to Chief Williams, compared to last year.
However, violent crime in Springfield has risen 7% since the beginning of the year.
Chief Williams said that almost all of these violent crimes were related to aggravated assaults involving gun violence.
The Special Investigations Unit has already recovered 92 illegal firearms this year as opposed to only 152 illegal firearm seizures in total in 2021.
Chief Williams says that many of these weapons are being stolen from cars.
As for the double-homicide investigation ongoing in Springfield, Chief Williams said he can only encourage the community to come forward with any information they may have regarding the incident.
He says that the public has been reluctant to share information with the police department after the Saturday night shooting.
He says that the police department is continuing to investigate the shooting and cannot release any further details at this time. | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/local-news-local-news/violent-crime-is-on-the-rise-in-springfield-says-chief-williams/ | 2022-05-17T04:08:55Z | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/local-news-local-news/violent-crime-is-on-the-rise-in-springfield-says-chief-williams/ | true | 2 |
Black people going about their daily lives — then dying in a hail of bullets fired by a white man who targeted them because of their skin color.
Substitute a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, with a church in South Carolina,and Malcolm Graham knows the pain and grief the families of those killed Saturday are feeling. He knows their dismay that racial bigotry has torn apart the fabric of their families.
“America’s Achilles’ heel continues to be … racism,” said Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Graham-Hurd, was among nine parishioners fatally shot by avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof in 2015 during Bible study in Charleston.
“As a country, we need to acknowledge that it exists,” Graham said. “There’s a lack of acknowledgment that these problems are persistent, are embedded into systems and cost lives.”
For many Black Americans, the Buffalo shooting has stirred up the same feelings they faced after Charleston and other attacks: the fear, the vulnerability, the worry that nothing will be done politically or otherwise to prevent the next act of targeted racial violence.
Law enforcement officials said suspected gunman Payton Gendron, 18, drove 200 miles from his hometown of Conklin, New York, to Buffalo after searching out and specifically targeting a predominantly Black neighborhood.
He shot 11 Black people and two white people at the grocery store, authorities said. Ten people died.
A 180-page document, purportedly written by Gendron, gives plans for the attack and makes references to other racist shootings and to Roof. The document also outlines a racist ideology rooted in a belief that the U.S. should belong only to white people. All others, the document said, were “replacers” who should be eliminated by force or terror. The attack was intended to intimidate all non-white, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country, it said.
The idea that those killed at the Tops Friendly Market lost their lives because of the shooter’s racism is “sick,” said Steve Carlson, 29, who is Black and grew up knowing Katherine Massey, one of the victims.
“It’s not right. You don’t pick what ethnicity you’re born to,” Carlson said. “These people were just shopping, they went to go get food for their families.”
At State Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, Deacon Heyward Patterson was mourned during services Sunday. Pastor Russell Bell couldn’t wrap his mind around the attack and Patterson’s death.
“I don’t understand what that is, to hate people just because of their color, to hate people because we’re different. God made us all different. That’s what makes the world go ’round,” he said.
But as abhorrent as the shooting was, it was hardly an isolated incident. The history of the United States is filled with white supremacist violence, starting from even before its official origins.
Black people have borne and continue to bear the brunt of much of it, but other groups have also been targeted in attacks because of their race, including Latinos in the 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, where 22 people were killed.
Gunmen with biases against religion and sexual orientation have also carried out targeted violence: the shootings at a San Diego synagoguein 2019and a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016.
Democratic Florida state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, who is gay and of Peruvian descent, immediately had flashbacks to the Pulse nightclub shooting that left 49 victims dead. The shooter targeted gay patrons in what was a largely Latino crowd.
“It’s déjà vu all over again in Orlando,” said Smith, who represents an Orlando district. “2016 seems like a long time ago, but in 2022 there’s a lot more hatred and bigotry out there.”
Experiencing violence of any kind is obviously traumatic, but the impact of targeted violence like this has ripples on a broader level.
“To be targeted for these things that you cannot control, it’s not only extremely painful emotionally, but it also impacts the way you perceive the world going forward after that,” said Michael Edison Hayden, spokesperson for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which advocates for civil rights.
Hate crime laws are on the books in recognition of that reality. The effect of events like these is “you’ve increased the vulnerability of everyone who looks like the target,” said Jeannine Bell, a professor at Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. “This is a different type of crime because it impacts not just the victims, but also the community.”
While there’s always hand-wringing and dismay after incidents like these, that hasn’t translated into a commitment to address the bigotry that underlies them, said Cornell Williams Brooks, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and former president and CEO of the NAACP.
He’s weary of political leaders’ promises to do more about white supremacist threats and gun violence.
“Count the number of sympathy cards and flowers, prayers and thoughts that have been extended to the victims of mass shootings, to the victims of racialized violence,” he said. “Do we really need (politicians) showing up to our places of worship to help bury our folks and do nothing to stop the carnage?”

Which beanbag lounger is best?
Beanbags have come a long way since their lumpy and flimsy beginnings. Today they come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and designs. One of the most comfortable beanbag versions is the lounger. These large, plush bags are perfect for curling up with a book, hosting guests or just hanging out.
The best beanbag lounger is the Cozy Sack Beanbag Chair. It comes in several sizes and colors to fit your exact space and style requirements, plus you can easily wash the cover in case of accidents.
What to know before you buy a beanbag lounger
Shape and size
Beanbag loungers typically come in either round or rectangular shapes, and their sizes are usually determined by their width.
- Small loungers are typically 3-4 feet wide. These can usually only fit children.
- Medium loungers are typically 5-6 feet wide. These work wonderfully for almost anyone. They can also seat two people.
- Large loungers are typically 7-8 feet wide. These can hold up to three people at once or even let two people lay back simultaneously. These take up more space than you’d think, so double check your area before purchasing a large lounger.
Filling material
Manufacturers no longer use the uncomfortable and lumpy dried beans to fill up their beanbags. Instead, they typically use one of three materials for their filling.
- Polystyrene beads are the cheapest filling option. They don’t last long, but they’re still somewhat comfortable to lay on until they degrade.
- Expanded polypropylene is reasonably durable, but it’s a bit more expensive. It holds its shape well over time and will stay comfortable through the years.
- Foam provides a different feel than the bead types above, whether it’s compressed or shredded memory foam. It’s the lightest material, and many find them to be the most comfortable, plus the foam molds to your shape.
What to look for in a quality beanbag lounger
Adjustable filling
The best beanbag loungers have zippers that let you access the filling inside. This feature allows you to remove or add filling as it gets old, or you can adjust the plushness as desired.
Removable cover
Some beanbag loungers have removable covers, too. These covers make cleaning and repairing your lounger much easier, as you can spot clean and repair on a flat surface or toss the cover into a washing machine if it’s safe to do so.
How much you can expect to spend on a beanbag lounger
Budget beanbag loungers typically cost around $150 or less. And most midrange options cost up to $300. The best and biggest loungers start around $300 and can cost up to $600 or more.
Beanbag lounger FAQ
What’s the difference between a beanbag chair and a lounger?
A. The difference between a chair and a lounger is loungers tend to be much larger than beanbag chairs. They’re meant to hold someone lying down rather than seated upright. This usually makes them extra-wide, but some maintain the standard circle shape. Loungers also tend to be less structured than chairs, so multiple people can use them at once rather than only one.
Is it safe for pets to get on a beanbag lounger?
A. Yes! However, watch for their claws. If your pet does not have claws or its claws are neatly trimmed, and your bag is of good quality, it’s likely to be just fine.
How long does a beanbag lounger typically last?
A. That depends on the quality of the bag as well as how often and how roughly you use it. The average lifespan of a lounger is three to five years. Constant rough treatment of low-quality loungers will drop it down to a year or less. A well-treated, high-quality lounger can last for 10 years or more.

Yesterday was another example of Everton dropping points against a so-called ‘lesser team’ which is becoming a problem. Maybe they needed to do more at Watford last week where it looked like Richarlison was trying to do everything on his own but you can never win the game by yourself but this issue is especially pertinent at Goodison Park.
We’ve seen this side beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United at home this season, while we earnt a credible draw against Tottenham and were unlucky against Man City. But on the other side of things, we’ve lost to Wolves, Watford, Brighton and now Brentford at Goodison. On Thursday we need to go out and play on the front foot and not sit in. The results against Chelsea and Manchester United were huge and the team have shown their ability to pick up wins. We do well against better teams with their big players because you can sit back but this year we’ve really struggled to dominate possession in the other matches. I’m not big on possession stats as for me it’s all about goals but we need to create more opportunities.
We panicked in midfield yesterday with Andre Gomes and Abdoulaye Doucoure - maybe it was the nerves and the pressure of it all. We needed a bit more composure and rhythm in there and put two or three passes together but we were too frantic.

Everton owe Crystal Palace
It was a bad day at Selhurst Park back in March in the FA Cup quarter-final. We had an opportunity to go to Wembley and we got beaten 4-0 and were completely overrun. That should be in the players’ minds that we owe Crystal Palace one and need a good performance. I don’t know whether we lost that due to will, desire or if it was just sport, but the players would’ve been really disappointed and embarrassed about that result. We’ve got a chance to put it right on Thursday.
Frank Lampard’s defensive troubles
I felt for Jarrad Branthwaite yesterday as a 19-year-old. But I believe he’ll recover - he’ll have had his ups and downs to get to where he is now and he’ll bounce back. However, there’s no doubt that it adds to Frank Lampard’s defensive troubles with Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane all missing the defeat to Brentford.
My fingers are crossed Keane comes back in but if he’s unavailable it’s worrying times. You look at the bench, the under 23s and if those guys are out, who comes into the starting line-up? Mason Holgate played in midfield when Everton were struggling for numbers before and there are lots of players that have played in a number of positions. Lampard will be hoping that Keane is available and although I don’t really like five at the back, it seems that Frank gets the best out of his available players with that.
If he is fit and recovered from illness, I’d line up him, Holgate and Seamus Coleman in a back three with Vitaliy Mykolenko and Alex Iwobi at wing back. Iwobi has put in a huge shift there and that’s helped us a lot. But that does mean possession wise we might struggle in the middle which we have done in the majority of games and we’ve been dominated far too often.
Positivity for Thursday
I’m very nervous but you’ve always got to feel optimistic at Goodison. It’s going to be about our ability to be brave enough to receive the ball to go and do our jobs. We need to be aggressive - I want my full backs to stop crosses, wingers to put balls in and the midfielders to keep the ball. It’s hard work pressing on the front foot and closing teams town but that’s your job. We’ve got to do that all over the pitch and force Palace to make mistakes and not allow them the space to dictate the game - it’s happened far too often.
We need to learn our lesson. We’re playing a deep back four or five and they need to play higher up so the midfield has the opportunity to get closer to the ball and tighter to their midfield. We have got to have more shots on goal - how many chances can we create? How many crosses can we stop? Palace have got some key players who can hurt you - tricky wingers who will drive forward but we’ve got to push them back because they won’t want to go back the other way towards their own goal.
Most importantly we need Goodison rocking. 40,000 people, booing every time they touch the ball and cheering every time we get it. We’ve got to have the possession to dominate the game but also have that desire to win the ball back and hopefully we can break down the opposition and get the result we need. | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-crystal-palace-goodison-park-23976420 | 2022-05-17T04:22:10Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-crystal-palace-goodison-park-23976420 | false | 1 |
Liverpool can’t risk paying Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah or Fabinho in the remaining two Premier League matches with their injuries, they just can’t.
They know and the fitness department knows exactly what’s what, you’ve just got to hope that they’re okay.
The squad that we’ve got, we’ve got a chance of winning the league. But to have a chance we’ve got to do the right things against Southampton, we know that it’s never an easy game down there.
If the title is going to be decided on points, whichever way it goes, and goal difference has gone out of the equation now, then you just have to win the game 1-0 or 2-1, it doesn’t matter.
INJURY NEWS: Jurgen Klopp gives Fabinho update and hints at Liverpool plan for Southampton
LONG READ: Liverpool icon went from sleeping in a shed to inventing the Adidas Predator
Don’t forget the substitutes who have come in lately, Tsimikas, James Milner or Joe Gomez, whoever it may be, have been superb.
We’ve got to go strong against Southampton, Klopp knows that the rest of the team are capable.
I think Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas will start in defence. Midfield is a little bit of a worry.
But then up front we’ve certainly got options. I’d stick with Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, personally.
Things happen in football when you least expect it, and it’s so ironic that Steven Gerrard is going up against Manchester City with Aston Villa in the last game of the season.
Everyone thinks it’s comic book stuff. If Man City play well and finish well, then it’s going to be very hard for Gerrard or Villa to get anything there.
But things happen in football. If the goalkeeper or centre-back gets sent off like with Everton on Sunday, that can happen in football and then you’re down to 10 men.
You’ve just got to hope something like that happens. And don’t forget Liverpool still have a job to do themselves, Southampton away is not going to be easy and Wolves at home isn’t going to be easy.
If we play to our strengths we’ll get the points, without a doubt.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's time to go?
It looks like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might be leaving Liverpool in the summer.
Whether the club can afford to, even though he hasn’t been involved when he perhaps might think he should have. It looks like he might be one of the ones that moves on.
He’s still relatively young in football terms at 28-years-old, he’s still got years left in him. But he needs game time and he’s not getting it at Liverpool, so I just wish him all the best because he’s done well for the club.
I hope he finds a really good club and does well in the future, and that Liverpool get the right money for him to put back into the team because we need strengthening in midfield, everyone knows that.
Quadruple chances
Of course it’s still possible that Liverpool can still win the quadruple. It’s highly unlikely, because it’s in Man City’s hands with the Premier League.
But while it’s still possible you’ve got to go for it. This season has been unbelievable, and you’ve just got to enjoy it.
You could see in the fan zone at Wembley Stadium at the weekend, the Liverpool fans were absolutely revelling in where the team is at the moment, where it’s been and where it’s going.
The team does need strengthening in the summer, we need at least two high quality players to come in that are top drawer and are as good as, or better than, what Liverpool have got at the moment. | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-23972032 | 2022-05-17T04:22:20Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-23972032 | true | 1 |

United States.- The American company Mattel is betting heavily on the inclusion and diversity and that is why he launched a Barbie doll with headphones for hearing impairmentthis in order that children identify themselves and can see themselves reflected in it.
Barbie doll with hearing aids (hearing impaired prosthesis), his new collection called Fashionista 2022along with her will also release a Ken doll with vitiligo.
this new 2022 Fashionista Line will be launched at Walmart, Target and Amazon, and according to the director Global Barbie Dolls by MattelLisa McKnight the goal is to encourage children to play with dolls that do not look like them and help them understand and celebrate the importance of inclusion.
It is worth mentioning that Mattel relied directly on the expertise of Dr. Jen Richardson, an expert in educational audiology to help accurately mimic the toy’s retro-ear devices, as reported by Regeneration.
“I am beyond excited for my young patients to see and play with a doll that looks just like them,” Richardson said.

It is worth remembering that in 2019 Mattel threw a Barbie in a wheelchair and a brunette doll with a prosthetic leg. Just like in 2020, she proposed a black Barbie with the skin condition vitiligo; which had been one of the best sellers, according to reports.

RIVERSIDE (CNS) – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular
gasoline in Riverside County rose today for the 19th consecutive day,
increasing 2 cents to $5.923, its highest amount since April 1.
The average price has risen 21.8 cents over the past 19 days,
including 3.4 cents Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price
Information Service. It is 12.1 cents more than one week ago, 18.8 cents higher
than one month ago, $1.838 greater than one year ago and 4.8 cents less than
the record high of $5.971 set March 29.
The national average price rose 1.3 cents to a record $4.483, erasing
the previous record set Sunday.
“The high cost of oil, the key ingredient in gasoline, is driving
these high pump prices for consumers,” said Andrew Gross, an AAA national
public relations manager.
Crude oil costs account for slightly more than half of the pump price,
according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The rest of the
price includes the other components of gasoline, production costs, distribution
costs, overhead costs for all involved in production, distribution and sales,
taxes and carbon offset fees in California paid by the refineries.

Children of Vietnam veteran murdered in Fort Pierce ask for help catching his killer
It’s been more than a week since a 78-year-old man was found shot to death in his Fort Pierce home.
No arrests have been made.
“Heart-wrenching,” said Mary Fuentes, describing the death of her father. “Heart-wrenching.”
Mary and her two brothers, James and John Fuentes had gone years without seeing their dad, Jorge Fuentes.
Stay informed: Local coverage from WPBF 25 News
He and their mother divorced and Jorge had gotten remarried and had more children.
About a year and a half ago, they reconnected.
“Full of life. Full of love of God,” James said. “And it was beautiful to see.”
Jorge was a military man who served in the Army in Vietnam where he earned a Purple Heart.
Growing up, the children knew him as the drill sergeant.
But they said that’s not who he was anymore.
“When we reconnected with him, I guess there was a softer side,” James said. “Maybe because he’s a grandfather.”
The Fuentes siblings said they cherished the time they could spend with their father now and are devastated that it’s over, that he won’t get to see his grandchildren grow up.
Mary got the call from Fort Pierce police just before 6 p.m. on May 6 that her father had been murdered.
Around the country: National coverage from WPBF 25 News
“It’s hard for a day to go by and not hear his voice anymore when I’d become so accustomed to hearing and talking to him,” she said.
“Inside, I’m shattered,” John said. “Don’t how I’ll be able to pick up the pieces and put them back together.”
But as they’ve waited every day with no new information, the frustration is building.
“I do have faith in the police department. I’m not knocking it and all that,” James said. “It’s just not knowing.”
“To anyone, whomever, to do this, my question is why,” John said.
It’s a question all three siblings would like to ask the person who killed their father.
And they have faith that some day, they will.
“I know that God is behind us, and we will get justice,” James said. “My dad will get justice.”
If you have any information on the murder of Jorge Fuentes, please call Fort Pierce police at 772-467-6800. | https://www.wpbf.com/article/children-of-vietnam-veteran-murdered-in-fort-pierce-ask-for-help-catching-his-killer/40015511 | 2022-05-17T04:43:31Z | https://www.wpbf.com/article/children-of-vietnam-veteran-murdered-in-fort-pierce-ask-for-help-catching-his-killer/40015511 | false | 1 |
OAKLAND, Calif. — The Twins open a three-game series today against the A's at the Oakland Coliseum (8:40 p.m., BSN) with Chris Archer seeking his first victory of the season.
Archer (0-1, 4.43 ERA) is making his seventh start for the Twins. He faced the A's four times while with Tampa Bay and was 1-0 with a 2.60 ERA.
The 33-year-old righthander has pitched into the fifth inning only once, and gave up five runs in three innings in losing to Houston on Wednesday.
Byron Buxton will play center and lead off, with Kyle Garlick back from a rehab assignment to move into the lineup as a DH against A's lefthander Zach Logue (2-1, 1.35).
The A's have lost nine of ten, including being swept by the Twins earlier this month at Target Field.

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.

A complete street is an age-friendly design that promotes safe, multimodal travel whether walking, biking, riding transit or driving a vehicle.
After a monthlong survey of residents and two-plus months of crunching the data, next week the public will get its first look at concepts for the construction of “complete streets” at 10th Street and Boulevard of the Arts.
The city of Sarasota will present the concepts for the two parallel streets during back-to-back open houses Monday, May 23, at the SRQ Media Studio in the City Hall Annex at 1565 First St.
From 3-4:30 p.m., residents can view concepts of Boulevard of the Arts west of U.S. 41. That will be followed by a presentation of Boulevard of the Arts and 10th Street east of U.S. 41 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The 10th Street project extends from U.S. 41 to Orange Avenue. The scope of work on Boulevard of the Arts extends from Sarasota Bay to just east of Orange Avenue.
A complete street is an age-friendly design that promotes safe, multimodal travel whether walking, biking, riding transit or driving a vehicle. It is also intended to provide a sense of place. Each complete street is unique to its community and could include such features as enhanced sidewalks, street lighting, benches, street trees and landscaping, public art and more.
A public survey period held by the city Feb. 1-28 garnered the engagement of 1,084 residents, offering input on the complete street projects.
Among the proposals is a raised intersection at U.S. 41 and Boulevard of the Arts. A raised intersection is a flat, elevated area covering an entire intersection with ramps on all approaches. A raised intersection design provides a slightly elevated crosswalk for greater visibility, reduces speed on the corridor from 40 to 30 mph, and includes technology that would allow for bike detection and signal modification during events.
A draft report of the compete streets project is due to be presented to city commission in summer 2022.

Distance runner Tristan McWilliam wins the area's only state track gold medal; Lakewood Ranch High's Grace Marston earns silver.
Tristan McWilliam always had taken the lead in his distance races, hoping he could hold on late.
That strategy didn't work so well for The Out-of-Door Academy runner at the 2021 Florida High School Athletic Association State Track and Field meet. In the Class 1A 3,200 meters, he faded to 11th. In the 1,600 meters, he didn't even qualify for the finals.
McWilliam wanted 2022 to be different, so he dedicated himself to training harder and he changed to a strategy where he would stay near the front, but would let someone else set the pace.
And when everything was on the line in the 1,600 meters at the 2022 state championships May 14 at James G. Pressly Stadium in Gainesville, it was McWilliam who passed the tiring runners.
The senior won the gold medal in the 1,600 in 4:17.97, out-kicking Cambridge Christian junior Baxton Legg by 0.48 seconds. The time is a personal best and an ODA record.
"That moment of crossing the finish line was pure relief," McWilliam said. "I am kind of in shock. It is still sinking in. I was expecting to finish second or third because everyone had better PRs than me. But I am certainly happy with it."
McWilliam, who also finished third and set an ODA record in the 800 meter run (1:56.43), said he stayed near the front of the pack in the 1,600 before turning things up a level with two laps to go. Once there were 150 meters left, McWilliam said, he knew he had it won.
"I was basically kicking (sprinting) the entire previous lap," McWilliam said. "I knew I was the only one who could sustain that (pace) in my group. I gave all I had to the very end and it worked out."
The knowledge that McWilliam's opponents could not keep up with him stems from jockeying for position with the same names — like Legg, Oak Hall's Caden Montini and Indian Rocks Christian Mateo Luna — over the years.
The elite runners have good rapport, McWilliam said, but they all want to win. It made getting the upper hand at the state meet even sweeter. McWilliam thanked his coaches for pressuring him to give 100% of himself to his senior season.
McWilliam, who will run at Embry-Riddle University next year, was given the starter gun's bullet from his race as a souvenir. It's a cool memento — but nothing beats the feeling of gold around his neck.
On the girls side of the state meet, Lakewood Ranch High senior Grace Marston ended her high school running career with a silver medal in the Class 4A girls 3.200 meter run, finishing in 11:03.58.
Marston led for seven of the race's eight laps but was overtaken by Coral Park High senior Penelope Sosa on the final lap. Sosa finished in 10:59.28. Marston said she did not expect to be in front of the pack for so much of the race, but the race's initial slower pace gave her the opportunity to try to steal the race. It almost worked.
"Being so close to first is tough," Marston said. "I was fatiguing (on the last lap) from the other races I ran today. But I am proud of how I did."
In addition to the 3,200-meter run, Marston competed in the 1,600-meter run, in which she finished third (5:01.48), and ran the anchor leg of the 4x800 relay, helping the Mustangs to an eighth place finish (9:41.10). She said the relay probably hurt her in the chase for gold, but she would not have made the trade if it meant hurting her teammates.
Marston, who will run at Georgia Tech in the fall, said the team aspect of track and field is too important to her and the eighth-place finish meant a lot to her teammates.
"It was worth it to be with my team on the podium," Marston said.

CHICO, Calif. (AP) — Four men were found unconscious at a park in Northern California and two of them died likely from drug overdoses, police said.
The Chico Police Department and the Chico Fire Department responded to Community Park Sunday after receiving several calls about four men who were unconscious and turning blue, Chico Police Lt. Omar Pena said in a statement.
Officials found the men in distress and began CPR and also gave them multiple doses of Narcan, an overdose antidote. Two men were pronounced dead at the scene, Pena said.
The two other men were taken to a hospital. Their condition was not known.
Officials asked anyone with information about the incident to contact police.
“With skyrocketing overdose deaths in Butte County, the Chico Police Department is committed to investigating these incidents and working alongside our regional partners to identify those who push this poison into our communities,” the statement said. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/4-men-overdose-at-Northern-California-park-2-die-17176930.php | 2022-05-17T04:54:07Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/4-men-overdose-at-Northern-California-park-2-die-17176930.php | false | null |

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Anyone who protests in front of a private residence in Florida can face jail time and fines under a bill Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Monday.
The legislation makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500.
Protesters can only be arrested after ignoring law enforcement's orders to disperse, however.
The governor said the new law will prevent protests in Florida like those waged by abortion rights protesters in front of U.S. Supreme Court justices’ homes in Virginia.
"Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate,” DeSantis said in an email to news agencies. “This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law.”
Some Democrats opposed the bill, arguing it infringes on people's First Amendment rights to free speech.
The law is scheduled to take effect Oct. 1. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Ban-on-protests-in-front-of-homes-signed-by-Gov-17177201.php | 2022-05-17T04:55:53Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/Ban-on-protests-in-front-of-homes-signed-by-Gov-17177201.php | false | 23 |

A former Manus Island security guard has reached a settlement with the Commonwealth and security firm G4S after she launched legal action in Victoria's Supreme Court.
Chandra Osborne was seeking compensation for loss of earnings, claiming the federal government and G4S failed to provide a safe workplace when riots took hold of the detention centre in February 2014.
Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati died and 77 others were injured in the three days of riots.
A trial started in Victoria's Supreme Court earlier this month, with Ms Osborne giving evidence that she feared for her life when violence escalated between the refugees and guards.
The court was told Ms Osborne still had flashbacks and nightmares, and could not work due to mental health issues stemming from the ordeal.
The trial was expected to run for some weeks but the parties reached a settlement after five days, the law firm representing Ms Osborne said.
The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.
"The settlement ... is an acknowledgement of the catastrophic and negligent failures by the commonwealth government and security firm G4S," Arnold Thomas and Becker partner Kim Price told AAP in a statement on Tuesday.
"This brings the total settled cases (from former Manus Island guards) to nine, and with 12 claims still before the courts, the total compensation claimed has been tens of millions.
"We hope that the outcomes from this trial facilitates settlements for the other 12 individuals who are still awaiting trial."
Ms Osborne said the settlement allowed her to put the experience behind her.
"The trial has brought back flashbacks, memories and heightened my panic attacks," she told AAP in a statement.
"I'm definitely disappointed that it came to the point that I needed to give evidence.
"At the same time, it means that the public now know more about what happened and that it was all wrong."
AAP has contacted the Department of Home Affairs and G4S for comment. During the trial, both the Commonwealth and G4S contested Ms Osborne's allegations.
Meanwhile, the parents of Reza Berati are also seeking compensation from the federal government over their son's death.
A senate inquiry into the 2014 riots recommended the Commonwealth provide compensation to Ita Torab Berati and Farideh Baralak, but Maurice Blackburn principal lawyer Jennifer Kanis said that has not happened.
"It's been eight years since his death, but his parents feel the pain of his absence every single day," Ms Kanis said in a statement.
"That pain has been compounded by the protracted legal fight they are being forced to embark upon as a result of the Australian Government and G4S' refusal to offer any compensation for the loss of their son."
Mr Berati's parents have filed the claim in the Victorian Supreme Court. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/manus-island-guard-settles-compo-court-bid-c-6826639 | 2022-05-17T05:02:58Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/manus-island-guard-settles-compo-court-bid-c-6826639 | false | 3 |

Americans can once again order free COVID-19 tests from the federal government by visiting COVIDtests.gov. In this round, the U.S. Postal Service will deliver eight free rapid antigen tests to any household in the U.S. that wants them, according to the website. That brings to sixteen the total tests offered per household so far.
The site suddenly appeared active Monday to offer the third round of free tests without a prior announcement. The White House is expected to make it official Tuesday, but the site was fully functional and taking orders ahead of time.
This comes as COVID cases in the U.S. have risen more than 60% in the past two weeks and hospitalizations have begun to climb again as well. "As the highly transmissible subvariants of Omicron drive a rise in cases in parts of the country, free and accessible tests will help slow the spread of the virus," explains a White House fact sheet.
The administration has been criticized for not giving away as many tests as households might need if someone comes down with COVID. But officials previously said they were holding back to see how much demand there was.
Four months into the program, the White House says 350 million tests have been given away to 70 million households, more than half of the households in the U.S. In the midst of the first Omicron wave, with cases spiking and tests hard to find, the Biden administration announced it would order one billion tests to distribute free to Americans.
By the time the free government tests started showing up in mailboxes, the acute shortage had passed as cases fell and pharmacy shelves were restocked with at-home rapid antigen tests.
The first round of tests sent out in January and February provided four per household, and the second round in March provided four more tests per household, for a total of eight. This latest round doubles that, getting more tests out more quickly.
The purchase of a billion COVID tests was funded by the American Rescue Plan and served dual purposes, getting free tests into American homes and creating market stability for a domestic testing industry that struggled with the boom and bust cycle of COVID waves. In 2021, manufacturers slowed production when cases fell, only for the country to be caught flat footed when case numbers rose again.
White House officials have been pleading with Congress to pass another round of COVID prevention and treatment funds, with little progress. Part of that funding would go to buying additional tests to keep the nation's supply up even if consumer demand wanes.

The Queen's and Eastbourne tournaments were spared punishment from the ATP on Monday for banning Russian and Belarussian players.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted the British Lawn Tennis Association and the All England Club — the host of Wimbledon — to bar Russian and Belarusian players from the British grass-court season.
The ATP and WTA objected at the time.
On Monday, the ATP said "Queen's and Eastbourne will proceed as normal, offering full ATP ranking points."
It said it consulted with its player and tournament councils.
"LTA's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes is, however, contrary to ATP rules and undermines the ability for players of any nationality to enter tournaments based on merit, and without discrimination — a fundamental principle of the ATP Tour," it said in a statement.
"Sanctions related to LTA's violation of ATP rules will now be assessed separately under ATP governance. ATP's response to Wimbledon's decision remains under review, with more to be communicated in due course."

Process all applications for green cards within 6 months, recommends US Presidential commission
The recommendations of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (PACAANHPI), which have been sent to the White House for approval, are likely to bring cheers to tens of thousands of Indian-Americans and those who have been waiting for a Green Card for years, if not decades.
A presidential advisory council in the United States overwhelmingly recommended that President Joe Biden process all applications for green cards or permanent residency within six months.
The recommendations of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (PACAANHPI), which have been sent to the White House for approval, are likely to bring cheers to tens of thousands of Indian-Americans and those who have been waiting for a Green Card for years, if not decades.
During the PACAANHPI conference, famous Indian-American community leader Ajay Jain Bhutoria made a suggestion in this respect, which was overwhelmingly supported by all 25 commissioners.

The advisory commission recommended that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) review their processes, systems, and policies and establish new internal cycle time goals by streamlining processes, removing redundant steps if any, automating any manual approvals, improving their internal dashboards and reporting system, and enhancing policies to reduce the pending green card backlog.
The commission recommended that the National Visa Center (NVC) State Department facility hire additional officers to increase their capacity to process green card applications interviews by 100% in three months beginning August 2022, and to increase Green card applications visa interviews and adjudicate decisions by 150% by April 2023, up from a capacity of 32,439 in April 2022.

To make it simpler for immigrants to stay and work in the nation, the group suggested that the USCIS assess and adjudicate petitions for work permits, travel papers, and temporary status renewals or adjustments within three months.
The commission also recommended that USCIS expand premium processing to more employment-based green card applications, all work permit petitions, and temporary immigration status extension requests.

MILAN: AC Milan closed in on its first Serie A title in 11 years on Sunday as goals from Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez earned it a 2-0 win over Atalanta, a victory that kept it two points clear at the top of the standings.
Stefano Pioli’s team looked nervy and devoid of ideas in the first half, failing to create a clear-cut chance. Its quality shone through in the second half, however, as a fine finish from in-form forward Leao (56’) and a superb solo effort from full-back Hernandez (75’) saw Milan home, much to the relief of an expectant San Siro.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan went on to win 3-1 against Cagliari in Sardinia, meaning the title will be decided on the final day (Sunday). Even a draw for Milan at Sassuolo will see the Scudetto return to the red half of the city.
“It is a year that excites me,” Pioli told reporters. “It is not over yet, we must be determined and calm. I am very satisfied, because we played against a strong team that created difficulties for us. We did well in the attacking phase and found solutions. We never lost our clarity and always believed in it, so the victory is a well-deserved reward.”
Sunday’s win was Milan’s fifth League success in a row and the team stretched its unbeaten Serie A run to 15 matches. Substitute Junior Messias supplied a fine pass into Leao, who took a touch before slotting home his 11th League goal of the season in the 56th minute. Hernandez then produced a stunning effort that could be a ‘Goal of the season’ contender. He picked the ball up in his own half 15 minutes from time and bypassed several challenges before drilling into the net to seal a crucial victory in Milan’s final home game. Elsewhere, Napoli made sure it will finish third ahead of Juventus after a 3-0 win over Genoa.

The Idle American: When fun-poking gets serious
The memory is lodged in my brain’s recesses, as closely as mistletoe clings to mesquite trees. Our parents -- neither with educational opportunities beyond high school -- provided commonsense counsel for my brother and me.
One admonition on their rigid “you-ought-to-do” ladder has remained on the top step. Their advice was sound then and is so today.
“Don’t be pokin’ fun at anybody,” they warned, always reminding us that whatever goes around comes around….
*****
Firmly established in the group of folks who soon will be closer to age 90 than 80, I’m sure that we all regularly feel the sharp jabs of embarrassment, accustomed to being on the receiving end of fun-poking. Granted, most perpetrators mean us no harm and don’t intend to leave us red-faced.
Who among us has not been embarrassed by the many tentacles of technology that squeeze us regularly in our daily lives?
I, for one, don’t mind that technology sweeps past us daily. However, I wish it wouldn’t sneer as it hurries toward wherever it’s going. Often, technology goes beyond confounding. We are left in sad puddles, flailing about in ripples of embarrassment….
*****
I was red-faced at a tire store recently. New tires were needed, so I made my way to the waiting room, where I’d read a newspaper. Soon, I heard an email alert from my smartphone. The message indicated that my right rear tire was deflating.
How great was this, I thought.
Here I was at a tire store when one was most needed….
*****
I thought of a recent automobile trip to Branson, MO. It was a rainy drive, marred by the only two flat tires experienced in the past five years. Though I was unlucky to have flats, one occurred near a service station, and the other at a motel where we stayed to break up the trip. Luckily, there was a tire store across the street. What blind hog luck!
Now, let’s return to current topic, however tiring. About 10 minutes after the first alert that my right rear tire was deflating, another one sounded, this time with news that my left rear tire was losing air. During the ensuing 20 minutes, there were emails warning that my front tires also were deflating.
I was in awe. Surely this was the eighth wonder of the world, or perhaps angels were fluttering nearby. Whichever, these timely alerts seemed far beyond the probability of coincidence….
*****
When the tire installer walked in, I told him of the miracle I thought had occurred.
“Well, it proves that Onstar is working on your car,” he laughed, deflating me. “When we put on new tires, we do so one at a time, so owners of cars with Onstar features receive emails each time an old tire is removed. Of course, it’s necessary to deflate tires to remove them from the wheels.”
My face reddening, I whimpered, “Of course, I was just kidding.” But the tire guy knew better….
*****
Don’t assume that we have a late model car. It is a five-year-old Buick purchased three years ago. It has more buttons than a 40-story elevator, most of which we neither touch nor understand. I’d heard about Onstar, but didn’t realize that it had some free features. (We hadn’t opted to pay the monthly fee for additional services.)
Folks may shudder that “spikes in the sky” can turn on us when least expected. I heard recently about a guy whose car skidded on an ice-coated highway. He totaled his car, but nothing else was damaged, nor was he hurt.
The crash activated Onstar, however, and soon, both an ambulance and DPS vehicles were on the scene. The officer walked around the damaged vehicle, documenting details. Then, he issued the befuddled driver a ticket, and he wasn’t fun-poking. Perhaps I should be grateful that I had new tires, and whatever fun-poking directed toward me occurred after I had driven away….

NEW YORK (AP) — The foundation started by organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement is still worth tens of millions of dollars, after spending more than $37 million on grants, real estate, consultants, and other expenses, according to tax documents filed with the IRS.
In a new, 63-page Form 990 shared exclusively with The Associated Press, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc. reports that it invested $32 million in stocks from the $90 million it received as donations amid racial justice protests in 2020. That investment is expected to become an endowment to ensure the foundation’s work continues in the future, organizers say.
It ended its last fiscal year – from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 – with nearly $42 million in net assets. The foundation had an operating budget of about $4 million, according to a board member.
The tax filing shows that nearly $6 million was spent on a Los Angeles-area compound. The Studio City property, which includes a home with six bedrooms and bathrooms, a swimming pool, a soundstage and office space, was intended as a campus for a Black artists fellowship and is currently used for that purpose, the board member said.
This is the BLM foundation’s first public accounting of its finances since incorporating in 2017. As a fledgling nonprofit, it had been under the fiscal sponsorship of a well-established charity, and wasn’t required to publicly disclose its financials until it became an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit in December 2020.
The tax filing suggests the organization is still finding its footing: It currently has no executive director or in-house staff. Nonprofit experts tell the AP that the BLM foundation seems to be operating like a scrappy organization with far fewer resources, although some say Black-led charities face unfair scrutiny in an overwhelmingly white and wealthy philanthropic landscape.
Still, its governance structure makes it difficult to disprove allegations of impropriety, financial mismanagement and deviation from mission that have dogged the BLM foundation for years, one expert said.
“It comes across as an early startup nonprofit, without substantial governance structure in place, that got a huge windfall,” said Brian Mittendorf, a professor of accounting at Ohio State University who focuses on nonprofit organizations and their financial statements.
“People are going to be quick to assume that mismatch reflects intent,” he added. “Whether there’s anything improper here, that is another question. But whether they set themselves up for being criticized, I think that certainly is the case because they didn’t plug a bunch of those gaps.”
The BLM movement first emerged in 2013, after the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. But it was the 2014 death of Michael Brown at the hands of police in Ferguson, Missouri, that made the slogan “Black lives matter” a rallying cry for progressives and a favorite target of derision for conservatives.
BLM co-founders Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Ayọ Tometi had pledged to build a decentralized organization governed by the consensus of BLM chapters. But just three years into existence, Cullors was the only movement founder involved in the organization.
And in 2020, a tidal wave of contributions in the aftermath of protests over George Floyd’s murder by Minneapolis police meant the BLM organization needed much more infrastructure.
When Cullors revealed the windfall of donations last year, local chapter organizers and families of police brutality victims reacted angrily. Until then, the foundation had not been transparent with the most devoted BLM organizers, many of whom accused Cullors of shutting them out of decisions about how financial resources would be allocated.
YahNé Ndgo, an activist and former organizer with the BLM chapter in Philadelphia, said Cullors reneged on a promise to hand over control of the foundation's resources to grassroots organizers.
“When resources came in, when opportunities came in, (the foundation) alone would be the ones to decide who was going to take advantage of them, without having to take any consideration of the other organizers whose work was giving them the access to these resources and opportunities in the first place,” said Ndgo, who organized a group of chapters that confronted the foundation over issues of transparency and accountability.
In a recent interview with the AP, Cullors acknowledged the foundation was ill-prepared to handle the moment. The tax filing lists Cullors as an uncompensated founder and executive director. She resigned last year. The foundation also paid nearly $140,000 in severance to a former managing director who had been at odds with local BLM chapter organizers, prior to Cullors’s tenure as director.
The filing shows Cullors reimbursed the organization $73,523 for a charter flight for foundation-related travel, which the organization says she took in 2021 out of concern for COVID-19 and security threats. She also paid the foundation $390 over her uses of the Studio City property for two private events.
During the last fiscal year, Cullors was the foundation board’s sole voting director and held no board meetings, according to the filing. Although that is permissible under Delaware law, where the foundation is incorporated, that governance structure gives the appearance that Cullors alone decided who to hire and how to spend donations. That was never the truth, current board members said.
For all the questions raised about its oversight, the BLM foundation’s tax filing shows its stewards haven’t squandered donations. Instead, it granted tens of millions of dollars to BLM chapters, Black-led grassroots organizations and families of police brutality victims, whose names rallied the larger movement.
“This 990 reveals that (the BLM foundation) is the largest Black abolitionist nonprofit organization that has ever existed in the nation’s history. What we’re doing has never been done before,” said Shalomyah Bowers, who serves as the foundation’s board secretary.
“We needed to get dollars out to grassroots organizations doing the work of abolition, doing the work that would shift the moral tide of this world towards one that does not have or believe in police, prisons, jails or violence,” he said.
Earlier this month, the foundation announced Bowers as one of three members of its board of directors. He serves with board chair Cicley Gay, a communications professional with more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, and D’Zhane Parker, a member of BLM’s Los Angeles chapter whose work focuses on the impact of mass incarceration on families.
“We are decolonizing philanthropy,” Gay said. “We, as a board, are charged with disrupting traditional standards of what grant making in philanthropy looks like. It means investing in Black communities, trusting them with their dollars.”
The foundation will launch a “transparency and accountability center” on its website to make its financial documents available for public inspection, Bowers said.

FOUNDATION RELIES ON CONSULTANTS
To get here, the foundation has relied on a small grouping of consultants, some of whom have close ties to founders and other BLM organizers. For example, the tax filing shows the foundation paid nearly $970,000 to Trap Heals LLC, a company founded by Damon Turner, who fathered a child with Cullors. The company was hired to produce live events and provide other creative services, Bowers said.
The foundation paid more than $840,000 to Cullors Protection LLC, a security firm run by Paul Cullors, Patrisse’s brother, according to the tax filing. Because the BLM movement is known for vehemently protesting law enforcement organizations, the foundation felt its protection could not be entrusted to former police professionals who typically run security firms, said Bowers, adding the foundation sought bids for other security contractors.
Bowers, who has previously served as deputy executive director, is founder and president of a firm that received the lion’s share of money spent on consultants in the last fiscal year. Bowers Consulting provided much of the foundation’s operational support, including staffing, fundraising and other key services and was paid more than $2.1 million, according to the tax filing.
The foundation’s reliance on consultants is not unusual for newer nonprofits, said Mittendorf, the Ohio State accounting professor. But having clear policies around business transactions could reduce any appearance of impropriety, he said.
“It’s a best practice not to engage in business transactions with people who have influence inside the organization or with companies affiliated with people who have influence inside the organization,” Mittendorf said. “Make sure you have conflict of interest policies and other controls in place, so that those transactions are all being done to benefit the organization and not to benefit the individuals.”
The tax filing indicates the foundation has a conflict-of-interest policy. And Bowers said the last BLM board approved the contract with his firm when he was not a board member.
“Our firm stepped in when Black Lives Matter had no structure and no staff,” he said. “We filled the gap, when nothing else existed. But let me be crystal clear, there was no conflict of interest.”
Controversy surrounding the organization’s finances has elicited probes by at least two state attorneys general. Board members said they are cooperating with civil investigations in Indiana and Ohio, and they have turned over relevant documents to those authorities.
Isabelle Leighton, interim executive director of the Donors of Color Network, an organization that promotes racial equity in philanthropy, said discrimination in the nonprofit sector leaves little room for Black-led progressive movement organizations to publicly make mistakes. Such organizations are typically receiving much less financial and operational support than wealthy, white-led nonprofits, but receive much more criticism, she said.
“It’s tapping into a deep narrative that people of color do not deserve to have the same resources that those who have already made it get,” Leighton said. “It’s intended for people to start to doubt and create their own new echo chamber of criticizing who deserves to receive resources.”

BLM GRANTS $16 MILLION TO CHAPTERS AND FAMILIES
The foundation’s tax filing rebuts claims that the BLM foundation ignored the larger movement. Nearly $26 million, or 70% of its expenses, were grants to organizations and families in the last fiscal year.
Twelve BLM chapters, including those in Boulder, Colorado; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Detroit; Los Angeles; Gary, Indiana; and Philadelphia, received pledges for grants of up to $500,000. The family foundations created in honor of Floyd and others killed by police and vigilantes — Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant — each received contributions of $200,000.
Jacari Harris, executive director of the George Floyd Memorial Foundation, said in a statement the organization was “incredibly grateful” for the grant, “the largest one-time contribution we have received to date within the U.S.” Harris said the funds will help provide college scholarships, mental health support to the Black community and educate “about the dangers of police brutality around the world.”
The Michael O.D. Brown: We Love Our Sons & Daughters Foundation, run by Michael Brown Jr.’s mother, Lezley McSpadden, was approved for a larger multi-year grant of $1.4 million. A representative of the Brown foundation told the AP that an initial $500,000 had been received in 2021.
McSpadden is happy to have the BLM foundation’s support, the representative said.
Among its larger grants are $2.3 million to the Living Through Giving Foundation, a nonprofit charity platform that encourages giving at the local level; and $1.5 million to Team Blackbird, LLC, a rapid response communications and movement strategy project that increases the visibility of movement organizations.
The tax filing does not reveal the foundation’s largest donors.
“Transparency and accountability is so important to us, but so is trust,” said Gay, the BLM foundation chair. “Presenting (donor) names after the fact, at this point, would likely be a betrayal of that trust.”

MUMBAI: Gauhar Khan and her husband Zaid Darbar were recently spotted in the city seemingly promoting their upcoming song Khair Kare and they were papped by popular paparazzi. While some called them a lovely couple, some eagle-eyed netizens began to speculate whether she is pregnant.

A user commented, “Is she pregnant??” while another user wrote, “Lol acting toh ache se kar lo”. A third user wrote, “Is she pregnant? Look at her face.” Another user commented, “Love is really blind.”
Gauahar entered the showbiz almost 20 years ago through a beauty pageant Femina Miss India contest. Now she is one of the popular actresses in the TV industry. Two years ago, the actress got married to Zaid Darbar after a whirlwind romance.
Their wedding was one of the most talked-about events in 2020. Pictures and videos from their wedding went viral on social media. Some reports also claimed that Zaid was 12 years younger than Gauahar. However, later they clarified that he is only 6 years younger than her.
Earlier, the Bigg Boss fame spoke about dealing with trolls. As per media reports, she said “Wikipedia has some wrong information. Mine also, his also. Like, there is this movie on my Wikipedia page, Miss India-something, I don’t know anything about that film. In the same way, his birth year was written wrong.”

Ukraine mounts effort to rescue last fighters at steel mill
By OLEKSANDR STASHEVSKYI and CIARAN McQUILLAN
Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Ukrainian fighters who doggedly defended a steel mill in the devastated port city of Mariupol have completed their mission, Ukrainian officials said, and efforts were underway to rescue the last of the defenders who remained inside.
Ukraine’s deputy defense minister said more than 260 fighters, including some badly wounded, were evacuated from the hulking Azovstal plant Monday and taken to areas under Russia’s control. Officials planned to keep trying to save an unknown number of fighters who stayed behind.
“The work to bring the guys home continues, and it requires delicacy and time,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The evacuation of some of the defenders came as Moscow suffered another diplomatic setback in the war, with Sweden joining Finland in deciding to seek NATO membership. And Ukraine made a symbolic gain when its forces reportedly pushed Russian troops back to the Russian border in the Kharkiv region.
Still, Russian forces pounded targets in the industrial heartland of eastern Ukraine known as the Donbas, and the death toll kept climbing with the war set to enter its 12th week on Wednesday.
Ukraine Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said 53 seriously wounded fighters were taken from the Azovstal plant to a hospital in Novoazovsk, east of Mariupol. An additional 211 fighters were evacuated to Olenivka through a humanitarian corridor. She said an exchange would be worked out for their return home.
Zelenskyy said the evacuation to separatist-controlled territory was done to save the lives of the fighters who endured weeks of Russian assaults in the maze of underground passages below the plant. He said the “heavily wounded” were getting medical help.
“Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes to be alive. It’s our principle,” he said.
Before the evacuations began, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an agreement for the wounded to leave the mill for treatment in a town held by pro-Moscow separatists. There was no immediate word on whether the wounded would be considered prisoners of war.
After nightfall Monday, several buses pulled away from the steel mill accompanied by Russian military vehicles. Maliar later confirmed that the evacuation had taken place.
Maliar said the “defenders of Mariupol” had fulfilled all their tasks, and it was impossible to “unblock Azovstal by military means.”
“Mariupol’s defenders have fully accomplished all missions assigned by the command,” she said.
The Ukrainian General Staff also said on Facebook that the Mariupol garrison has completed its mission. The commander of the Azov Regiment, which led the defense of the plant, said in a prerecorded video message released Monday that the regiment’s mission had concluded, with as many lives saved as possible.
“Absolutely safe plans and operations don’t exist during war,” Lt. Col. Denis Prokopenko said.
Elsewhere in the Donbas, the eastern city of Sievierdonetsk came under heavy shelling that killed at least 10 people, said Serhiy Haidai, the governor of the Luhansk region. In the Donetsk region, Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Facebook that nine civilians were killed in shelling.
The western Ukrainian city of Lviv was rocked by loud explosions early Tuesday. Witnesses counted at least eight blasts accompanied by distant booms. An Associated Press team in Lviv, which was under an overnight curfew, said the sky west of the city was lit up by an orange glow.
The chairman of the Lviv Regional Military Administration said the Russians fired on military infrastructure in the Yavoriv district. The city of Yavoriv is less than 10 miles (about 15 kilometers) from the Polish border.
Ukrainian troops also advanced as Russian forces pulled back from around the northeastern city of Kharkiv in recent days. Zelenskyy thanked the soldiers who reportedly pushed them all the way to the Russian border in the Kharkiv region, saying in a video message: “I’m very grateful to all the fighters like you.”
Video showed Ukrainian soldiers carrying a post that resembled a Ukrainian blue-and-yellow-striped border marker. Then they placed it on the ground while a dozen soldiers posed next to it, including one with belts of bullets draped over a shoulder.
The Ukrainian border service said the video showing the soldiers was from the border “in the Kharkiv region,” but would not elaborate, citing security reasons. It was not immediately possible to verify the exact location.
Ukrainian border guards said they also stopped a Russian attempt to send sabotage and reconnaissance troops into the Sumy region, some 90 miles (146 kilometers) northwest of Kharkiv.
Russia has been plagued by setbacks in the war, most glaringly in its failure early on to take the capital of Kyiv. Much of the fighting has shifted to the Donbas but also has turned into a slog, with both sides fighting village-by-village.
Howitzers from the U.S. and other countries have helped Kyiv hold off or gain ground against Russia, a senior U.S. defense official said. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the U.S. military assessment, said Ukraine has pushed Russian forces to within a half-mile to 2.5 miles (1 to 4 kilometers) of Russia’s border but could not confirm if it was all the way to the frontier.
Away from the battlefield, Sweden’s decision to seek NATO membership followed a similar decision by neighboring Finland in a historic shift for the counties, which were nonaligned for generations.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said her country would be in a “vulnerable position” during the application period and urged her fellow citizens to brace themselves for disinformation or other attempts to divide them.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, a NATO member, has objected to allowing Sweden and Finland to join NATO, saying they failed to take a “clear” stance against Kurdish militants and other groups that Ankara considers terrorists, and imposed military sanctions on Turkey.
All 30 current NATO members must agree to let the Nordic neighbors join.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow “does not have a problem” with Sweden or Finland as they apply for NATO membership, but that “the expansion of military infrastructure onto this territory will of course give rise to our reaction in response.”
Putin launched the invasion on Feb. 24 in what he said was an effort to check NATO’s expansion but has seen that strategy backfire. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said the membership process for both could be quick.

Biden posts $7.8M in-person haul, planning bigger money push
POTOMAC, Md. — (AP) — President Joe Biden 's motorcade sped through the evening rush hour-choked streets of Washington earlier this week bound for Maryland Rep. David Trone's spacious estate close to the Potomac River.
Speaking for 14 minutes near a backyard pool amid the smell of barbeque, Biden told about 140 people gathered that it's important for Democrats to "communicate what we mean." He praised the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, noted the federal deficit and unemployment were falling while lambasting Republicans as extremists. He also predicted — perhaps fancifully given his sagging approval ratings — that Democrats might pick up a whopping four Senate seats during November's midterm elections.
But the real purpose of the president's appearance was to raise what might be more necessary than anything else to help his party get out its message: campaign cash.
Biden has taken in $7.8 million for Democrats by attending five in-person fundraisers since March, according to figures the Democratic National Committee provided to The Associated Press. That includes the $2 million he picked up in Maryland along with another $1 million he pulled in two days later when he swung through a Marriott ballroom in Chicago's South Loop to address about 50 people.
The DNC released information about the amounts raised and number of attendees for each event after inquires from the AP about why such figures hadn’t been previously disclosed to pools of journalists traveling to fundraisers with the president — as prior administrations have typically done.
Other fundraisers include a Washington event that took in $3 million and featured an intimate audience of around 20. During a West Coast swing last month, Biden attended a larger gathering that included supporters from the 2020 campaign in Portland, Oregon, of about 110 people and raised $300,000-plus. Around 30 people were at a more traditional event in Seattle, where the committee raised nearly five times that, or around $1.5 million.
After largely skipping in-person events due to the coronavirus pandemic, the DNC said Biden plans to step up his fundraising schedule ahead of November, when Republicans are hoping that wins around the U.S. can put them back in control of Congress.
“As President Biden’s in-person fundraising events continue to increase heading into the midterm elections, the DNC will begin releasing additional information on President Biden’s fundraising events,” committee spokesman Daniel Wessel said in a statement.
The DNC didn't provide details about the range of prices attendees pay to be at each fundraiser with Biden, saying they vary depending on the type of event. Some offer donors small gatherings with the president, while others are designed to attract larger crowds, allowing for more public interaction, which can include question-and-answer sessions.
The committee also noted that Biden has raised money through other channels besides in-person fundraisers, including online, via emails, texts and mailings signed by the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff, the second gentlemen.
Throughout his decades in public office, Biden has never been a terribly prolific fundraiser. Even his 2020 campaign failed to rack up big totals until after he secured the Democratic presidential nomination — prompting a flood of donations from people desperate to defeat Donald Trump.
The amount Biden is bringing in per event lately is nonetheless respectable, though he has not had an aggressive fundraising schedule until more recently. That's generally keeping with historical White House norms — but far different than Trump's push to keep his campaign coffers ever well stocked.
Trump launched his reelection effort the same day he was inaugurated in 2017, an unusual move that allowed him to amass a substantial war chest during his first years in office. Federal law allows donors to give a maximum of $36,500 per year to the national party committees and $2,900 to individual federal candidates per election, however, and some donors ultimately hit the legal limits in the waning days of his 2020 campaign.
That, combined with profligate spending, left Trump's campaign facing a shortfall in the race's closing weeks. Biden, by contrast, has not yet launched his reelection campaign and his fundraising is directed toward the DNC.
Trump held his first reelection fundraiser on June 28, 2017 — 40 months before the 2020 election. The $35,000-per-plate dinner was held at the Washington hotel just a few blocks from the White House that he had owned — before selling it this week — which become a haven for his supporters and those seeking influence during his presidency.
That event raised about $10 million, the Republican National Committee said at the time. Unlike Biden and former President Barack Obama, Trump generally did not allow reporters to view his public remarks to donors.
The DNC says it raised $204-plus million total for the cycle so far. The committee had its best fundraising first quarter of a midterm year, raising $42 million so far in 2022, with about 60% of all donations coming through what it called grassroots channels.
The DNC has committed at least $48 million to help Democratic parties in different states do things like improve infrastructure and organize get-out-the-vote efforts — after spending only $30 million on its entire 2018 midterm strategy.
The committee says it has funded nearly 450 staff on state party payrolls dedicated to campaigns this cycle, and invested over $20 million in state parties’ technology, including improving data efforts.
It also says Biden has announced the largest-ever midterm cash transfer of $15 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, devoted to congressional races, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which focuses on upper chamber elections.

As Jeremy Hefner sees it, there are a trio of reasons that explain the differences in Taijuan Walker from last season to this season: better health, fewer fastballs and more Max Scherzer.
Walker, who has been solid since right shoulder bursitis sidelined him for about three weeks in April, is beginning to put together another strong first half in a small sample thus far. Last season, he was dominant for the first few months that brought him to his first All-Star Game, then fell apart after the break as his innings climbed and health fell. He needed right knee surgery this offseason.
In his first four starts and 18 innings this season, he is doing it again and sporting a 3.00 ERA. But the Mets’ ideal No. 5 starter is succeeding in a different fashion than last year’s first half.
Hefner, the Mets’ pitching coach, first pointed to Walker’s health, which he believes was the righty’s downfall last season. He next attributed Walker’s strong results to an arsenal that has been tweaked.
Last season, according to FanGraphs, Walker threw a fastball 57.4 percent of the time. The usage is down to 41.8 percent, with so many of the extra pitches going to a splitter that has become a big part of Walker’s game.
“It’s something that we talked about last year, not being so fastball-heavy, but he didn’t really have a split — he didn’t have as good of command of his split last year,” Hefner said on the Citi Field dirt Monday, after the Mets’ game against the Cardinals was postponed. “He worked on that all offseason, and that’s something that was a focus for him during spring training and into his first few starts.”
Walker, who will start one of the games in Tuesday’s doubleheader, has been hit hard with his four-seamer, against which batters are hitting .364. But against the 29-year-old’s splitter, opponents are 4-for-28 (.143), a pitch that he barely used last season becoming his most devastating this campaign.
Now Walker has five distinct pitches that batters have to watch for, rather than leaning so much on his heat.
“I think that he’s pitching,” Hefner said. “Max has a little bit to do with that.”
Hefner is one pitching coach, and Scherzer — who’s a year older than Hefner — is another. It is easier for the coaching staff to get buy-in from a pitcher who might be hesitant when a future Hall of Famer is adding his opinions to the staff’s side. Scherzer has helped the rotation even on days he does not pitch.
Scherzer has lent his voice to “some of the messaging that we’ve tried to talk to [Walker] last year about,” Hefner said. “[Walker is] taking some of the things that he’s getting fed through different parties and taking it out and throwing well.”
Walker is enjoying improved health and an improved splitter, but improved voices around him, too.
“He’s an intellect,” Hefner said of Scherzer. “He studies the game. He watches the game. He understands biomechanics, he understands mechanics, pitch design, how to use pitches, how to sequence pitches. That’s why he’s been able to do what he’s done for forever.” | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/health-splitter-command-behind-taijuan-walkers-evolution/187124/ | 2022-05-17T05:41:43Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/sports/health-splitter-command-behind-taijuan-walkers-evolution/187124/ | false | 2 |
DePaul’s diamonds in drag
“Are you nervous?”
Adjusting the straps of their holster to align with the rest of the perfectly planned cowboy attire, Sydryl Denila, also known by the stage name Mr. Trans Former, is getting ready for their drag debut.
“Of course I am,” they said. “This is my first ever drag performance.”
Denila never imagined being a part of this community, but from helping friends out with their performances to now walking the stage themselves, Denila has made strides into the Chicago drag scene, performing as a senior at DePaul’s Drag Show on Friday.
“At first I didn’t think I would get into this, but I moved in with a bunch of my friends who do drag and became the ‘drag daddy’ making sure everyone was fed and had their lash glue,” Denila said. “Then I assisted for one of their performances and loved it, so I thought I would take a shot and try it as just me.”
Performing to “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy),” Mr. Trans Former amps up the crowd with their dance number. Denim shorts matched with a cut off red button-up and signature cowboy hat is the first costume for Mr. Trans Former tonight. Denila’s unmistakable drag look, including the high painted cheekbones, plenty of highlight and the trademark drag eye makeup complete the full effect.
DePaul hosted its first drag night after a two-year hiatus on May 12. It’s an 11-year tradition planned and coordinated by DePaul’s LGBTQIA+ Resource Center, Spectrum and QPOC, involving local professional drag artists and a competition between the DePaul drag students for a cash prize and chance to be DePaul’s 2022 Drag Superstar. Mr. Trans Former, along with six other students, are continuing the beloved tradition and maybe further on into the drag world.
Room 120AB in the Lincoln Park Student Center looks unrecognizable, decked out with a long runway, decorated tables with light-up balls, colorful strobe lights and a drink station with all the colors of the rainbow. With the DJ blasting club hits, the room once used for freshman orientation looks considerably like a nightclub in Northalsted.
The room is full of eager students, some new, some old that remember previous years’ drag shows, before Covid-19. Kelly Lang, a senior at DePaul majoring in peace, justice and conflict studies, has been looking forward to this since the 2020 DePaul drag show was canceled.
“I went my freshman year with a group of friends and absolutely loved it,” Lang said. “I’m so happy to be back now for my last year almost as a tribute to my ending.”
Walking back into the drag dressing room, the students are getting ready for their performances. The dressing room is covered in glitter; boas, wigs and detailed lace costumes are arranged in chaotic placements for each artist.
Carefully drawing in their sharp, angled eyebrows for a sultry look, DePaul senior Grace Gilbrattch, also known as Virgo Abode, rushes to get fully ready before the event begins. Gilbrattch is doing a tribute to Marina in the Diamonds in their set. As a costume design major, Gilbrattch used their personal skills and materials to create their own dress.
“I felt like [Marina] got me through some of my worst times, so I wanted to perform two of her songs,” Gilbrattch said. “The outfit was planned for when I saw her in person for her concert; I patterned the whole outfit, from the sparkly spandex to the top. I just wanted to be the shiniest thing out there.”
While it’s both Mr. Trans Former and Virgo Abode’s first time, Skater Gaytor, a DePaul senior, has been doing this for over a year.
“Oh honey, I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve performed, it comes so natural to me,” Gaytor said while simultaneously adjusting their wig and applying lipstick with perfect balance.
The show begins, the packed room is ready to start — a little late, as most gays are. The host of the night is popular local drag performer Irregular Girl. Before the event can fully start, the rules of drag have to be explained to the newbies, including a tip station to exchange for dollar bills to support the performers. Then it begins — Irregular Girl takes the stage, strutting down the runway with power on their sparkly sequin bodysuit and cotton candy cover.
“Please give a warm welcome to Bescoliná!” Irregular Girl announced.
“Dreaming of you” by Selena blasts through the speakers as Jose Dominguez Magdalene, the first student performer, walks out, all dolled up in a dress and handbag, and delivers a chilling acting performance of confessing love with an elated twist of alcohol. One by one, each student came onto the stage; Bescoliná, Mr. Trans Former, Testostermoan, Virgo Abode, Georgia Rising, Whorechata and Skater Gaytor each had the chance to wow the crowd with their routines. Along with the students, professional drag artists performed their sets as well. Stephanie Gato-Girl, Siichele and Lúc Ami all came for guest performances.
The time came for the first round of votes. Along with the judges, the students in the crowd got to vote on three finalists to continue for a second performance. After much anticipation, Mr. Trans Former, Georgia Rising and Skater Gaytor advanced to the final round. Tension was high. Mr. Trans Former went first, and the memorable first few notes of “Treasure” by Bruno Mars sang through the room as the crowd cheered. Georgia Rising followed up with a high-energy performance in a tennis skirt and pigtails. Skater Gaytor performed to “You Oughta Know ” by Alanis Morissette in a bloody schoolgirl outfit, taking the crowd by surprise as they threw their wig off and expressed raw emotion of performative anguish.
The room goes silent as the giant screen tallies the votes for each performance. Holding hands, the three finalists hold their breath as the numbers rise. Scoring the highest at 82 votes, Georgia Rising won.
After taking their victory lap on stage, Georgia Rising takes a final bow for the crowd as DePaul’s 2022 Drag Superstar. | https://depauliaonline.com/58262/artslife/depauls-diamonds-in-drag/ | 2022-05-17T05:46:04Z | https://depauliaonline.com/58262/artslife/depauls-diamonds-in-drag/ | true | 1 |
MILWAUKEE — For the last two or three weeks, Tyler Matzek has experienced left shoulder pain. Some days are better than others. He tried pitching through it, but it eventually became clear the best avenue was to get it checked out.
Matzek will hit the 15-day injured list Tuesday. He will undergo an MRI in Atlanta.
“It’s kind of a weird thing for me,” he said after Monday’s loss to the Brewers. “I’ve had shoulder tightness, shoulder soreness, and it’s kind of a normal thing when you’re a pitcher. I’ve been pretty healthy in my career as a whole, and so this is just a weirder thing for me. I haven’t really had to deal with something like this.”
Matzek hopes it’s a short injured-list stint that will see him spend the minimum time away while doing some rehab before getting back out there. The Braves will use his roster spot to bring up Tucker Davidson to start Tuesday’s game. Davidson allowed one run over five innings in his last start May 11 and has a 4.44 ERA over 26 ⅓ innings for Triple-A Gwinnett.
Matzek said his back flared up before spring training and called it “major.” Due to this, he lost his mechanics.
“I've been pretty healthy in my career as a whole, and so this is just a weirder thing for me. I haven't really had to deal with something like this."
“When you do that, different parts of your body start trying to compensate for other parts, and things take on loads that they shouldn’t,” Matzek said. “Just tried to get through it. It’s a normal thing, you know. Most of the time, you make it through it, and sometimes it just flares up so bad that you get it checked out.”
Matzek has struggled this season. He has a 5.06 ERA over 10 ⅔ innings. He has allowed five earned runs over his last four frames and has only pitched a full inning in two of his last six outings.
A few weeks back, he began experiencing shoulder pain.
“Think it was just compensating for the lack of ability in my back,” he said. “I felt good trying to pitch through the back. Felt like I was going out there and doing OK. I think it just kind of spiraled into another thing, or it could just be totally on its own.”
The MRI will reveal more about the exact diagnosis and Matzek’s timeline.
Meantime, it appears Spencer Strider, who pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Ian Anderson on Monday, could receive a larger role in the bullpen. The Braves need reliable relievers, and Strider has a 2.75 ERA over 19 ⅔ innings this season. He has not received many high-leverage opportunities to this point, but he entered in a one-run game Monday.
This could happen more with Matzek headed to the injured list, especially if other relievers are down on certain days. Strider has proven he can handle it and has exceeded expectations.
The Braves will need to fill Matzek’s void for the foreseeable future.
“That’s a guy that would always stick his head in and be available to pitch every day,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “Hopefully it’s nothing when they go and find out.”

An Uber driver has set the ultimate example of honesty after laying all his cards on the table for a passenger. Twitter user Karishma Mehrotra shared a screengrab of her chat with the driver, whom she asked if he was coming to her location to pick her up. In response, the driver said, “Aaunga hundred percent ek paratha kha raha hun aadha bacha… sacchai maine bata diya (I will be coming for sure; am eating a paratha, half of it is left… I’ve told you the truth)". Mehrotra shared the exchange on Twitter, writing, “This is the type of honesty i hope to achieve in life." In response to Twitter users’ questions, Mehrotra also shared that the driver kept his word and did come to pick her up.
The Uber driver of this story is certainly making life easier for himself as well as his passengers, especially when so much of the time drivers and passengers can be found sparring over the cancelled ride phenomenon.
Highlighting the daily struggles faced by rental car drivers, a LinkedIn user recently shared an anecdote. Ten minutes or so into her journey, Priya Singh heard her driver play azaan on his phone. This made her wonder if he has done his iftar yet. “I asked him “iftar kiya apne" he replied “Haan aaj road per hi ho gaya kyuki rental duty thi" I again asked “do you want to pay namaaz" he asked “can I? We parked the car on the roadside to let him do his prayers in the back seat while I sit in the front seat," she wrote in the caption of her LinkedIn post.

There is an increasing curiosity among football fans about what the East Bengal team will look like in the new season. The century-old club is desperate to turn around on the best stage of Indian football. The groundwork to build an efficient team has been underway for a while. FC Goa’s Ivan Gonzalez has already been picked. Several Bengali footballers of Santosh Trophy will also play, sporting the East Bengal jersey.

East Bengal has already confirmed a number of footballers. There are talks among fans that East Bengal may take Aftab Alam, who can play in two positions - centre forward and winger. Aftab, at the tender age of 22, caught the eye of sports lovers. He played notable football for Peerless in the 2020-21 Calcutta Football League.
On the other hand, some East Bengal supporters are upset because their favourite club is probably not getting Germanpreet Singh anymore. It was thought that this emerging talent of India could be confirmed by the East Bengal club officials for the upcoming season but that hope is dashed now.
Apart from ensuring good players, there is also a lot of interest among fans in any information regarding investors for the East Bengal club. The partnership between the East Bengal club and their investors Shree Cement ended last month over differences over the term sheet.
Earlier, the rumour was rife that Bangladesh giants Bashundhara Group had initiated talks with East Bengal to invest in the Indian club but even that doesn’t seem to have worked out. A final decision could be made before the upcoming transfer window, according to the club’s assurance.

LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boutique Los Angeles law firm Reuben Raucher & Blum announced today that Partner Stephanie Blum has been recognized as a "Top 100 Lawyer" by the Los Angeles Business Journal. According to the journal's publisher Josh Schimmels, the 100 lawyers selected "have demonstrated exceptional legal skill and achievements across the full spectrum of responsibility, exemplary leadership and contributions to the Los Angeles community at large."
"We are delighted to see this well-deserved acknowledgment of Stephanie's legal prowess and commitment to her clients," said Managing Principal Tim Reuben. "She is a tremendously skilled lawyer and has consistently demonstrated her ability to deliver the highest degree of strategy and service to our clients."
Blum, a Certified Family Law Specialist who has practiced exclusively in the area of family law for 25 years, "supports those who face the turmoil, uncertainty and challenges of divorce," says the publication. "Though her first preference is always to mediate spousal, financial and custody issues, Blum is also a fierce and relentless opponent in a court of law."
Her philosophy in dealing with her clients is to bring sensitivity to what they are going through and to always treat every case on a highly individualized basis. "I always keep in mind my client's needs and circumstances," she says. "That means sound strategy, pragmatic advice, and an excellent knowledge of the system. I'm fully prepared to resolve disputes but, when necessary, to fight to secure my client's rights."
Blum's most recent client results include securing court orders modifying child and spousal support orders on behalf of her client, from $21,000 per month to $200 per month after successfully showing that gifts from her client's parents ceased and therefore should not be counted as income when calculating support. She attained an order for another client, a husband, forcing his wife to vacate their marital home, ultimately vesting the full equity of the home in the husband's name. Blum was also successful in achieving sole physical custody for her client, a mother, and the suspension of the father's visitation, over his objection, due to the father's history of domestic abuse.
A Cornell University graduate and USC School of Law alumna, Blum speaks regularly before professional organizations on various aspects of family law. She has appeared on radio and television shows and co-authored the book "Divorce and Finances: Know your Rights Clearly and Quickly." Blum has been featured and quoted in publications and print, such as Variety, CBSMarketWatch.com, People Magazine, US Weekly and the Daily Journal and she is a Contributing Expert to Living Brentwood Magazine on family law topics.
Recognized in 2022 as both a "Top Family Lawyer" by the Daily Journal and a "Family Law Trailblazer" by the National Law Journal, Blum is active in her profession and the community. She served on the Executive Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Family Law Section and has been a long-time supporter of the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law. Blum worked pro bono with both Levitt and Quinn Family Law Center and the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law, representing clients who can't afford legal counsel.
REUBEN RAUCHER & BLUM has earned widespread recognition as a boutique litigation and family law firm representing a broad spectrum of clients. The firm has an outstanding track record in resolving complex disputes for its clients through mediation and other settlement methods, but also has obtained multi-million dollar results, as well as total vindication and recovery of attorney's fees when representing the defense.

BALTIMORE (AP)New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes said he deactivated his Twitter account after screenshots surfaced Sunday of tweets from a decade ago that included racial slurs.
Cortes appeared to be quoting rap lyrics in at least some of the tweets, and he did not seem to be using the words to demean anyone directly.
”I felt like it wasn’t the right message that I wanted to send out, when I was 17 years old,” Cortes said before Monday’s game against Baltimore. ”Those happened 10 years ago. I deactivated my Twitter to clean stuff up.”
”It’s not acceptable,” he added. ”I think I could have managed myself and said stuff differently. But I’m here today to say that I’m going to work on it and fix it.”

The ceremony ended with a celebratory moment, as attendees were covered in streamers and beach balls.
After the christening ceremony, guests were treated to a Margaritaville at Sea sail-away party, where they were transported into a Margaritaville state of mind with a surprise hour-long live performance by Jimmy Buffett, including fan favorites like "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise."

Navi Mumbai: Punjab Kings skipper Mayank Agarwal said that the target of 160 runs against Delhi Capitals was a chaseable one as his team consisted of a strong batting line-up.
Delhi Capitals boosted their playoff hopes on Monday as they defeated Punjab Kings by 17 runs in their IPL 2022 match at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
“Between 5-10 we lost too many wickets and that’s where we lost the game. It was definitely chaseable for the batting we have, and the wicket wasn’t as bad as it seemed,” said Mayank in a post-match presentation.
“There’s still a match to be played. Want to go out there and play the best cricket. Still haven’t played our best cricket and look forward to doing that in the last game,” he added.
The PBKS skipper could not contribute to his team as he fell prey Axar Patel’s spell and was bowled out for a duck.
Shardul Thakur took four wickets while Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav bagged two each as Delhi bowlers restricted Punjab in their chase of 160 runs. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh’s blistering knock of 63 guided Delhi Capitals to a modest 159/7. Arshdeep Singh and Liam Livingstone bagged 3 wickets each for Punjab Kings.
With this win, Pant-led DC have now reached the 4th spot on the IPL 2022 table with 14 points against their name. The 5th placed Royal Challengers Bangalore also have 14 points but their negative Net Run Rate (NRR) has cost them dearly.

Olney Theatre Center to Bring Together Deaf, Hearing, and Hard of Hearing Artists for THE MUSIC MAN
Only Murders in the Building’s James Caverly stars as Harold Hill; Sandra Mae Frank and Michael Baron co-direct.
Olney Theatre Center is presenting a revolutionary production of Meredith Willson's The Music Man that not only casts a Deaf actor, James Caverly in the lead role of Harold Hill, but is generated by a company and creative team that consists of half Deaf and half hearing artists. This project has been gestating at Olney Theatre for four years, long before Hugh Jackman's traditional revival on Broadway, and a transforms Willson's utopian vision of River City, into a place where Deaf and hearing people coexist in community. Co-directed by renowned Deaf performer Sandra Mae Frank and Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma's artistic director Michael Baron, The Music Man begins previews in Olney's Mainstage on June 17, and opens officially on June 23 with a scheduled run through July 24, 2022.
The invited press performance is Thursday, June 23 at 8:00 pm. Tickets are available from $42 - $85 and can be purchased at olneytheatre.org or 301-924-3400. All performances of The Music Man are performed in ASL and Spoken English and are open captioned.
James Caverly, who plays Harold Hill, is now best known for his breakthrough performance as Theo Dimas, the son of Nathan Lane's Teddy Dimas on the hit Hulu show Only Murders in the Building. However, he was a staff carpenter in Olney Theatre's scene shop for several years, while he also pursued his acting career. It was as a carpenter and after seeing DeafWest's production of Spring Awakening on Broadway that Caverly approached Jason Loewith about the prospect of a Deaf-centered musical at Olney. When Loewith asked which one he had in mind, Caverly suggested The Music Man. It took several years and the creation of a new Vanguard Arts Fund at the theatre to mount an exploratory workshop in March, 2019. The week-long workshop brought together a mix of 25 Deaf and hearing artists to serve as a "proof of concept" that involved staging several numbers from the show. A short video about that workshop is viewable here. From the success of that workshop, the decision was made to move forward with a full production in the 20-21 Season that was then pushed back to 21-22 after the pandemic.
Participants in that workshop returning to work on the production include Music Director Christopher Youstra, Olney's Associate Artistic Director for Music Theatre, acclaimed choreographer Karma Camp, and Michelle Banks, as the Director of Artistic Sign Language - frequently referred to as the DASL (pronounced: dazzle). It falls to Ms. Banks to translate the English script for The Music Man into ASL and gestural language. But a DASL is much more than an interpreter - and also provides important artistic contributions informed by their experience of Deaf Culture and interweave it throughout the production. Along with Ms. Frank, and set designer Ethan Sinnott, Ms. Banks is one of three Deaf artists on the creative team, leading a company that is 50% Deaf or hard of hearing and 50% hearing actors. More than a dozen sign-interpeters are being employed for the rehearsal period to facilitate a truly intercultural artistic process.
During pandemic downtime, Sandra Mae Frank, who played Wendla in the Deaf West production of Spring Awakening, and also played Marian in the workshop, was brought on as a co-director with her frequent collaborator Michael Baron, the Artistic Director of the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, where Frank had acted in several musicals. Frank is perhaps best known for her television appearances on shows including Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist, and as the recurring character Dr. Elizabeth Wilder on New Amsterdam. Baron, in addition to his work at the Lyric, is best known by DC-area audiences for his direction of the current version of A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theater as well as a stint as Associate Director of Signature Theatre where he directed several productions.
Returning to the Olney stage in the cast are Adelina Mitchell (A.D. 16) as Marian, Vishal Vaidya (Godspell and Broadway's Groundhog Day) as Marcellus and also the vocalizations in the songs of Harold Hill, Florrie Bagel (Peter Pan) as Ethel Toffelmeier and Understudy Marian, Heather Marie Beck (Joseph...) as Alma Hicks, along with ensemble members Jay Frisby (Miss You Like Hell) and Sarah Ann Sillers (Singin' in the Rain). Appearing at Olney for the first time is another veteran of the DeafWest Broadway production of Spring Awakening, Amelia Hensley as Eulalie Shinn. Other cast includes Matthew August as Tommy, Gregor Lopes as Olinn Britt, Andrew Morrill as Mayor Shinn, Anjel Piñero as Woman #1, Mervin Primeaux-OBryant as Maude Dunlap, Nicki Runge as Mrs. Paroo, Christopher Tester as Oliver Hicks and Dylan Toms as Ewart Dunlop. Swings include Sophia Early, Aarron Loggins, Jane Enabore and Stephen Russell Murray. Youstra conducts a 10-piece orchestra that also chips-in on the barbershop quartet for "Lida Rose."
On the creative team, joining co-directors Baron and Frank, music director Youstra, choreographer Camp, and set designer Sinnott are costume designer Rosemary Pardee, lighting designer Jesse Belsky, Olney's resident sound designer Matt Rowe, projections designer Sean Preston, and stage manager Ben Walsh.

MUMBAI, May 17 (Reuters) - Delhi Capitals are hitting their stride at the perfect time in the Indian Premier League, all-rounder Mitch Marsh said after helping the side break into the top four with Monday's victory against Punjab Kings.
Marsh smashed the only half-century of the match as Delhi defended a modest 159-7 to record their first back-to-back victories this season.
"It's been one of those seasons where we've been stop-start," said Marsh, whose 63 off 48 balls saw him named Man of the Match.
"In long tournaments like this, it's about peaking at the right time.
"I think over the last week or 10 days, we've played some really good cricket and that's a really good sign."
Delhi, who beat Rajasthan Royals in their previous match, finish their league campaign against bottom-placed Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
"We've got one more to go. We know if we win that, we'll be in the finals and we can give it a real good shake," Marsh said.
Table-toppers Gujarat Lions have secured their playoff berth in their debut season with 20 points from 13 games and are trailed by Rajasthan and Lucknow Super Giants, both on 16 points.
Delhi are ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore on superior net run rate, though both have 14 points.
Marsh began briskly against Punjab and built a 50-run partnership with Sarfaraz Khan after the early loss of Australia team mate David Warner, who fell for a golden duck.
"My mindset was to get as many as I can in the Powerplay before it starts turning," Marsh said.
"For the last 18 months, I've had that mentality in the Powerplay.
"I walked off thinking we left a couple out there. But it turned and 160 wound up being enough."

While earmarking 10 MHz cellular spectrum to state-owned Special Communication Organisation (SCO), the people at the helm of affairs in top regulatory body – Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) – have allegedly dented the national kitty with a loss of around $10 million, creating apprehensions in the market about fair competition and level playing field in the public sector. TLTP has reliably learnt that without identifying conflict of interest, the ousted government of Imran Khan approved the appointment of Major General (retd) Aamir Azeem Bajwa as PTA chairman in sheer violation of superior court verdict, due process and relevant provisions of law. Prior to his appointment as chairman of the PTA, he served for 2 years as head of a telecom licensee, which professionally led to conflict of interest. A bare perusal of the law ‘Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act, 1996’ reveals that it bars any such appointment. Section 3 of the Act provides that a person to be considered for appointment as a member, PTA must not even have a hint of conflict between his private interest and the interest of the institution (public interest). The Section 3 (4) of the Act provides: “A member of the Authority shall not have any direct or indirect financial interest in, or have business connection with any person, any establishment or firm which renders telecommunication services in Pakistan or abroad or supplies telecommunication equipment to any telecommunication sector in Pakistan or abroad. It has also been mentioned clearly in explanation of the sub-section: “For the purpose of this subsection, any involvement of the spouse or blood relation of any member of the Authority with any telecommunication establishment or firm shall be considered as a direct financial interest or connection of the member with such establishment or firm.” The SCO, which the current chairman PTA headed just before his appointment, is a fully government-owned organisation under the administrative control of the Ministry of IT & Telecommunications as per Schedule II Rule 3(3) of Rules of Business 1973. The PTA has granted license to the SCO to operate a commercial telecom business in AJK and GB in order to provide service to more than 1.8 million people of the vicinities. The PTA’s decision to effectively gift a spectrum to one of the licensees, SCO, has raised eyebrows in the industry as there exists an alleged conflict of interest between the incumbent PTA chairman and the SCO as he remained director general of the SCO for two years. Soon after his retirement from the SCO, Imran Khan’ government appointed him as Member (Technical) PTA and a week after being appointed member, he was elevated to the post of chairman PTA. In 2013, while deciding the Writ Petition No. 29005 of 2012, the Lahore High Court’s Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah declared appointment of the then Chairman PTA Farooq Ahmed Awan illegal on the grounds of conflict of interest as Awan had served as secretary IT as well as chairman of the PTCL Board prior to joining PTA. Reliable sources disclosed to TLTP that the incumbent chairman of the PTA remains a pensioner and financial beneficiary of SCO and has a strong affiliation with it. At the time he headed the state-run teleco. He competed for market share with private operators. In March 2018, under his command, the SCO went so far as to sue the PTA in an aggressive bid to establish its monopoly over the telecom market in AJK and GB. Telenor was compelled to join the move. As the contested case – SCO vs the government of Pakistan and PTA (W.P. 3291/2018) adjudication is pending in Islamabad High Court. TLTP tried repeatedly to get the version of PTA in this regard and even waited for a couple of days; however, there was no response till the filing of this report. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/935960/conflict-of-interest-in-pta-chiefs-appointment-costs-kitty-10m/ | 2022-05-17T06:30:18Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/935960/conflict-of-interest-in-pta-chiefs-appointment-costs-kitty-10m/ | true | 1 |
"A Big Day for the Club" - Manchester City Star 'CANNOT Wait' for Title Decider Against Aston Villa
The league leaders failed to virtually seal their fourth league crown in five years against West Ham as Jarrod Bowen's first-half brace prevented the Blues from extending their lead at the top of the pile to six points ahead of Liverpool's visit to Southampton in midweek.
After a dismal opening 45 minutes that saw City concede twice against the run of play, Jack Grealish struck back to halve the deficit and give his side hope of a potential comeback in their penultimate league outing of the campaign.
An own goal from Vladimir Coufal with just over 20 minutes left on the clock squared proceedings but City failed to snatch a late win when Riyad Mahrez's penalty in the final stages was saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
"We have to just try and get the three points on the last day. It is not about me (playing Aston Villa) or the opposition, it is about the team and the club. That is what I have got in my head.

"It is going to be a big day for this city and for this football club. Hopefully we can go and lift the trophy. All we can do is go out there and try to get three points so we can get our hands on the trophy.
"Of course, it will be a nice occasion for me, but it is about the team and we have a job to go out there and get three points. I am looking forward to it and I cannot wait.”

New Delhi, May 17: The owners of Ethereum,, the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, have lost their crypto wallets containing 532,426 Ethereum with a current market value of $1.6 billion since its "presale" in 2014.
According to new research from CryptoAssetRecovery.com, the largest of these lost wallets holds over $60 million worth of Ethereum. Cryptocurrency Crash: Bitcoin Drops Below $28,000, Terra Luna Down 95%; Ethereum in Major Downtrend
Ethereum is currently priced at about $2,000 amid the current crypto mayhem.
In 2014, when it was first offered for 'presale', it cost around 30 cents.
Researchers recently discovered that nearly 7 per cent of the Ethereum bought during the 'presale' has never moved from its original wallets, likely meaning that the owners have lost control of their private keys.
"The Ethereum presale was literally a sale of Ether to investors before Ether existed. Investors could buy Ether with Bitcoin, even though the Ethereum blockchain did not yet exist, and the genesis block had not yet been mined," according to the team.
Following weeks of speculation, Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum founder, had announced the sale.
He informed potential investors that Ether (his company's transactional token) would be available in the presale at a discount price of 2,000 Ether (ETH) per Bitcoin (BTC).
"The sale will last 42 days, concluding at 23:59 Zug (Europe) time September 2 (2014)," he wrote.
"If you purchase Ether, DO NOT lose your wallet file or your password, or you will never be able to access your ether."
Sometimes things went wrong during the presale.
For instance, a Washington D.C. family claims that it's struggling to access about $6 million locked away in an Ethereum presale wallet.
An Ethereum presale wallet is only considered "lost" if funds have never moved since they were received from the "genesis block".
Since the genesis block, 630 of the 8,893 addresses, representing just over 7 per cent of the presale wallets, have never moved.
"While 7 per cent of these wallets may seem small, the amount of Ethereum stored away in these wallets is staggering. Locked away are 532,426 Ethereum, valued at roughly $1.6 billion at current market prices (April 2022)," the researchers from CryptoAssetRecovery.com noted.
Of the 630 wallets that have never moved, the average wallet value is just over 845 Ethereum (roughly $2.6 million at current market price).

Gonsolin (4-0) earned the win over Arizona on Monday, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven.
Gonsolin picked up his second quality start of the campaign, tying his season high in innings and racking up his highest strikeout total of 2022. The right-hander gave the Dodgers 92 pitches, helping to conserve the bullpen near the tail end of a stretch of 14 games in 12 days. Gonsolin has been excellent for Los Angeles this season, posting a perfect 4-0 record while compiling a 1.64 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 33 innings. His 30:15 K:BB isn't ideal, but he's giving up so few hits that the walks haven't been much of a hindrance thus far. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/dodgers-tony-gonsolin-extends-record-to-4-0/ | 2022-05-17T06:44:23Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/dodgers-tony-gonsolin-extends-record-to-4-0/ | true | null |
GÖTEBORG, Sweden, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Volvo Trucks is opening its very first battery assembly plant. Located in Ghent, Belgium, the plant will supply ready-to-install batteries for Volvo Trucks' full electric heavy-duty trucks.
"This investment shows our strong commitment to electrifying truck transportation. By 2030, at least 50 percent of all trucks we sell globally will be electric and by 2040, we will be a carbon-neutral company," says Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks.
In the new battery plant, cells and modules from Samsung SDI will be assembled into battery packs that are tailor-made for Volvo Trucks´ heavy-duty electric range: Volvo FH, Volvo FM and Volvo FMX. Series production starts in the third quarter of this year.
Shorter lead times and increased circularity
Each battery pack has a capacity of 90 kWh and the customer can choose to have up to six battery packs (540 kWh) in a truck. The number of batteries depends on each customer's specific range and load capacity demands.
"By integrating the battery assembly process in our production flow, we can shorten lead times for our customers and secure high-performing batteries, while at the same time increase circularity," says Roger Alm.
Volvo Trucks´ batteries are designed so that they can later be remanufactured, refurbished and reused. The plant itself is powered by 100% renewable energy.
Electric solutions for most transport needs
With production of three heavy-duty full electric models starting this year in Europe, Volvo Trucks will offer a total of six electric truck models globally, covering everything from city distribution and refuse handling to regional transport and construction work.
"We started series-production of electric trucks already in 2019 and are leading the market both in Europe and North America. With the rapid development of charging networks, and improvements in battery technology, I am convinced that we will see a rapid transformation of the entire truck industry in the very near future," says Roger Alm.

STOCKHOLM, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Data from the NeoDynamics' PULSE study with its biopsy device NeoNavia shows a success rate of 96% in very complex and risky axilla biopsies. The new data was presented by Professor Marc Thill at the SBI/ACR Breast Imaging Symposium in Savannah, Georgia.
The conference, taking place on May 16-19, is held to be the most important annual meeting for US breast imaging professionals. That the new data was selected for oral presentation at the US conference indicates a strong interest in the results among breast biopsy specialists. The study illustrates the significant contribution NeoNavia can provide, particularly in difficult and complex breast and axilla biopsies.
"In the PULSE study we described characteristics of each axillary biopsy case in a detailed way. Fifty patients in the interim data set showed parameters indicating a challenging procedure such as close distance of the lymph node to a blood vessel, thoracic wall, or muscle. A separate analysis in this sub-group showed a procedure success rate of 96% and low rate of adverse events with only one minor hematoma and two cases of pain, none of which required further treatment. The users reported that pulses facilitated control during needle insertion in 94% of cases and stabilization of the target lesion during needle insertion in 92% of cases. The reported results in these challenging cases further underline the strong performance of the NeoNavia device," says Prof. Marc Thill who presented the results at the first day of the Conference.
The PULSE study is an ethically approved German prospective multi-center study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03975855) designed to document the performance of the NeoNavia biopsy device in the axillary lymph nodes. NeoDynamics have previously reported data from 115 procedures showing that the device is well suited for the use in the axillary lymph nodes, with a high success rate and low rate of adverse events in a broad patient group.
NeoNavia is an innovative biopsy system built on a patented pulse technology for controlled and precise needle insertion, and is based on research at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The system was developed by NeoDynamics and is being commercially introduced in selected markets in Europe. NeoDynamics recently filed a registration application for NeoNavia in the USA.

Fifty patients in the interim data set showed parameters indicating a challenging procedure such as close distance of the lymph node to a blood vessel, thoracic wall, or muscle. A separate analysis in this sub-group showed a procedure success rate of 96% and low rate of adverse events with only one minor hematoma and two cases of pain, none of which required further treatment. The users reported that pulses facilitated control during needle insertion in 94% of cases and stabilization of the target lesion during needle insertion in 92% of cases. The reported results in these challenging cases further underline the strong performance of the NeoNavia device," says Prof. Marc Thill who presented the results at the first day of the Conference.
The PULSE study is an ethically approved German prospective multi-center study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03975855) designed to document the performance of the NeoNavia biopsy device in the axillary lymph nodes. NeoDynamics have previously reported data from 115 procedures showing that the device is well suited for the use in the axillary lymph nodes, with a high success rate and low rate of adverse events in a broad patient group.
NeoNavia is an innovative biopsy system built on a patented pulse technology for controlled and precise needle insertion, and is based on research at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The system was developed by NeoDynamics and is being commercially introduced in selected markets in Europe. NeoDynamics recently filed a registration application for NeoNavia in the USA.

He said: "I have seen all your stuff you have been doing and thank you so much for being so supportive to me and my music.
"I think you are all great and I hope you have a great rest of your week. Lots of love from me - and keep doing you."
Reposting the message on Twitter, the school in Great Cornard near Sudbury described it as an "incredibly special video".
"One of our inspirational people we have named our classes after is Ed Sheeran," they wrote.
"Sheeran Class have found out about why we have chosen Ed Sheeran as a class name - look at what Ed sent back to us! We are thrilled!"
Sheeran is well-known in his home county for being supportive of local causes, having previously donated his touring wardrobe to East Anglia's Children's Hospices shops, and bought supplies and gifts for other schools in the area.
Other classes at the school are named Rashford, after the England and Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford, who has campaigned for free school meals; Thunberg, after the teenage environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg; and Shackleton, after the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. | https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2022-05-16/ed-sheeran-thanks-primary-school-pupils-who-named-their-class-after-him | 2022-05-17T07:00:51Z | https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2022-05-16/ed-sheeran-thanks-primary-school-pupils-who-named-their-class-after-him | false | 1 |

Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the Premier League top four were dealt a huge blow as they were well beaten by Newcastle at St James' Park.
Mikel Arteta's side needed a win to move above Tottenham into fourth and put them in the driving seat to secure a Champions League spot heading into the final weekend of the season.
But they were second best throughout and fell behind early in the second half when Ben White turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Callum Wilson, who was making his first start since 27 December.
Bruno Guimaraes, who has become a cult hero since joining Newcastle at the start of this year, then rounded off the impressive win when he drove into the net as Arsenal struggled to clear.
Arsenal offered next to nothing, with Martin Dubravka only really tested once, with a 25-yard Mohamed Elneny shot in the second half.
Indeed, Newcastle could have won by more with Wilson coming so close to capping a dream return from injury with a stunning long-range effort that dropped just wide of the goal. | https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/61475708 | 2022-05-17T07:02:54Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/61475708 | false | 1 |
Rupee Hits All-time Low Against Dollar
New Delhi: The Rupee weakened to an all-time low against the dollar in opening trade on Tuesday, hitting 77.78/$ as the dollar continued to strengthen against major global currencies.
This is the second consecutive trading session when the Indian currency hit fresh lows.
On Friday, the rupee pared its initial gains and settled 5 paise lower at its fresh lifetime low of 77.55 against the US dollar as inflation concerns and strength of the American currency weighed on the local unit.
Forex traders said the rupee consolidated in a narrow range, as the weakness in regional currencies and depressing economic data weighed on the domestic unit, while intervention from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) restricted the losses.
On a weekly basis, the rupee has depreciated 65 paise on the back of a stronger dollar index, risk-off sentiment and foreign fund outflows.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Telecom operator Bharti Airtel and refiner Indian Oil Corp rose 0.3 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively, ahead of their quarterly earnings results. | https://pragativadi.com/rupee-hits-all-time-low-against-dollar-2/ | 2022-05-17T07:03:21Z | https://pragativadi.com/rupee-hits-all-time-low-against-dollar-2/ | false | 1 |
Tableau Cloud will empower customers to make faster and more confident decisions for better, data-driven outcomes
Tableau's new, AI-powered Data Stories automates insights from data in a modern, easy-to-understand narrative format
LAS VEGAS, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at the annual Tableau Conference, Salesforce introduced Tableau Cloud, the fastest and easiest way for customers to get the full value of Tableau at enterprise scale. The offering is the next generation of what was formerly known as Tableau Online and includes new innovations to boost productivity by delivering intelligent, powerful and easy-to-use analytical tools to help anyone uncover insights and confidently make data-driven decisions. An integral part of the Salesforce Customer 360, Tableau empowers customers to surface and gain actionable insights from all their trusted data, creating a single source of truth, accessible anytime, anywhere.
Market volatility and widespread supply chain disruptions make it increasingly challenging for companies to contain costs and keep their businesses moving forward. Data can help manage these complexities and changes. For example, connected supply chains and production lines generate a wealth of data and customers expect real-time visibility into when goods will arrive. A recent McKinsey study found a strong correlation between the success of an organization's planning and adoption of advanced analytics. Data-driven supply chain management offers new ways to avoid disruption and respond to unforeseen circumstances with speed and confidence.
Tableau Cloud provides the leading analytics platform to meet customers where they prefer to operate their business. In fact, 70 percent of new customers choose Tableau Cloud over an on-premise or hybrid solution to power their analytics. Tableau also continues to offer self-managed solutions and is committed to providing customers the flexible options they need.
"Speed, ease of use and flexibility have been key differentiators for Tableau and the reasons why customers rely on us to help transform their business through data-driven decision making and increased efficiency," said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer, Tableau at Salesforce. "With Tableau Cloud, we're making it easier for our customers to drive even more analytics success. Tableau Cloud helps our customers deliver the analytics they need to their users, while we ensure the highest levels of trust, availability and performance."
As part of the launch, Tableau is working with Snowflake to provide an extended promotional trial which includes Tableau Cloud licenses for Snowflake customers and, subject to program requirements, Snowflake credits upon conversion to a Tableau Cloud customer.
New Tableau innovations delivers automated insights faster and more easily
Tableau leverages the leading natural language and augmented analytics capabilities to help everyone use data to drive meaningful decisions. Data Stories adds automated plain-language explanations to Tableau dashboards at scale, helping customers understand and interact with data faster. Automating the analysis, build and communication of insights from data in a modern, easy-to-understand story format eliminates the need to explain dashboards repeatedly, makes data more accessible to business users and helps increase analytics adoption across the enterprise.
Tableau is also expanding its Accelerators offering and the capabilities of the Tableau Exchange, a trusted hub of offerings that extend the Tableau Platform and help customers get faster time to value. Accelerators are ready-to-use, customizable dashboards that can be used across multiple industries, departments and enterprise applications to quickly deliver insights and value. Tableau now has more than 100 Accelerators on the Tableau Exchange, including those built by experts across the Tableau Partner Network, further expanding the unique use cases customers can apply.
The Tableau Exchange also features a new in-product capability, enabling customers to explore and use any offering from the Tableau exchange directly in the product without requiring a separate download. This keeps people in the flow and enables them to get the right solution when they need it.
New enterprise-ready capabilities to increase efficiency
Tableau is also introducing Advanced Management, which helps Tableau customers manage, secure and scale mission-critical analytics across the enterprise. Administrators can gain deep insight into adoption and performance, leverage advanced encryption capabilities to meet security requirements and gain increased capacity limits to ensure teams and individuals have access to relevant data. Examples include:
- Customer-Managed Encryption Keys helps customers meet organizational compliance standards and add an additional layer of protection for their data.
- Activity Log provides detailed event data to help administrators keep track of how individuals are using Tableau. It also enables permission auditing to better implement controls over an enterprise's deployment. And with Admin Insights, data is retained for up to one year to help track dataset usage, license adoption and visualization load times.
"Data is critical to delivering on the promise of leveraging mRNA science to create a new generation of transformative medicines for patients," said Adam Mico, Principal, Data Visualization and Enablement at Moderna. "Security, governance, scalability and manageability are important components of our overall data analytics strategy and we're excited to see how Advanced Management will make it easier and faster to optimize our deployment."
Bringing Einstein into Tableau delivers deeper insights across the Salesforce Customer 360
Tableau is also helping drive the Salesforce Customer 360 and empowering customers to fully leverage their data to gain actionable insights from their CRM data.
Powered by Einstein Discovery's artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology, Tableau is helping people with domain expertise make better decisions faster and with more confidence. For example, Model Builder enables business teams to collaboratively build and consume predictive models, using the Einstein Discovery engine, without having to leave their Tableau workflows.
Infusing Einstein Discovery into CRM Analytics, the advanced analytics solution for CRM users, will help customers surface actionable insights directly in the Salesforce workflow:
- Einstein Discovery: Text Clustering leverages machine learning (ML) models to extract keywords from large text fields to quickly reveal hidden insights and improve decision making.
- Einstein Discovery: Bias Detection for multiclass models expands the use-cases for multi-class models by rooting out bias by variable, preventing the need to re-train an entire model.

Average gasoline prices in Pennsylvania are unchanged in the last week, averaging $4.62/gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 5,269 stations in Pennsylvania.
Prices in Pennsylvania are 46.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.48/gallon higher than a year ago.
The price of diesel has risen 3.0 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.55 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Pennsylvania was priced at $4.09/gallon while the most expensive was $5.35/gallon, a difference of $1.26/gallon.
The national average price of gasoline is unchanged in the last week, averaging $4.46/gallon Monday.
The national average is up 39.1 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.43/gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Historical gasoline prices in Pennsylvania and the national average going back 10 years:
- May 16, 2021: $3.13/g (U.S. Average: $3.03/g)
- May 16, 2020: $2.13/g (U.S. Average: $1.87/g)
- May 16, 2019: $2.99/g (U.S. Average: $2.86/g)
- May 16, 2018: $3.03/g (U.S. Average: $2.90/g)
- May 16, 2017: $2.58/g (U.S. Average: $2.33/g)
- May 16, 2016: $2.39/g (U.S. Average: $2.22/g)
- May 16, 2015: $2.81/g (U.S. Average: $2.70/g)
- May 16, 2014: $3.77/g (U.S. Average: $3.65/g)
- May 16, 2013: $3.47/g (U.S. Average: $3.60/g)
- May 16, 2012: $3.70/g (U.S. Average: $3.73/g)
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
- Harrisburg – $4.60/g, unchanged from last week’s $4.60/g.
- Hagerstown – $4.30/g, unchanged from last week’s $4.30/g.
- York – $4.61/g, unchanged from last week’s $4.61/g.
“Those filling their tanks last week saw another jolt at the pump, as both gasoline and diesel prices continued their multi-week rally,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“New records continued to be set on a near daily basis as the national average edges even closer to $4.50 per gallon.
“Prices later this week could be closer to $5 per gallon than $4, as demand continues to edge higher and inventories of both gasoline and diesel continue to decline, temperatures warm and motorists get back outside and we near the Memorial Day weekend, the start of the summer driving season.
“While the increases may start to slow in the days ahead as pump prices catch up to oil, there isn’t much reason to be optimistic that we’ll see a plunge any time soon.”
GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades.
Unlike AAA’s once daily survey and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on a small fraction of U.S. gasoline stations, GasBuddy’s survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you
THE UK FOREIGN Secretary will today declare her intention to bring forward legislation which rips up parts of the UK’s post-Brexit trade deal on Northern Ireland.
It is understood that Liz Truss will make the announcement in a statement to the Commons following a full Cabinet meeting, in an attempt to restore power-sharing in the region.
The row over the Northern Ireland Protocol has created an impasse in efforts to form a new Executive in Stormont, with the Democratic Unionist Party refusing to join an administration unless its concerns over the arrangements are addressed.
A majority of MLAs in Stormont’s newly elected Assembly represent parties that support retaining the protocol, with many arguing that the arrangement offers the region protection from some of the negative economic consequences of Brexit.
They also point to the unfettered access Northern Ireland traders have to sell into the EU single market as a key benefit of the protocol.
The move to rewrite parts of the deal could risk a trade war with the European Union.
But a Foreign Office source said “this isn’t about picking a fight with the EU”, saying that Truss’ priority is to uphold the Good Friday Agreement.
“The peace process and acting in the interests of Northern Ireland is what motivates her,” they said.
The PA news agency understands Truss’ ambition is to lay the legislation in Parliament within a couple of weeks, and certainly before the summer. But the overwhelming preference is thought to remain a negotiated solution.
The Global Britain (Strategy) Committee, which consider matters relating to the UK’s trade priorities, will meet first on Tuesday, followed by the full Cabinet, before Truss delivers her statement to the Commons.
‘Insurance policy’
Yesterday evening, the UK Foreign Secretary held calls with Foreign Minister Simon Coveney and European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic.
In both, Truss said she underlined the importance of upholding the Good Friday Agreement and re-establishing the Northern Ireland Executive.
Sefcovic later said engaging with “flexibilities” offered by the EU would be preferable to taking unilateral action on the protocol.
He tweeted: “With political will, practical issues arising from the implementation of the protocol in Northern Ireland can be resolved.
“Engaging with us on the flexibilities we offer would be a better course of action than unilateral one. We’re ready to play our part, as from the outset.”
It comes after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson travelled to Belfast to meet leaders of the Stormont parties in an attempt to secure progress.
He also used Monday’s trip to issue a warning to Brussels that the UK is prepared to rewrite unilaterally the terms of the Brexit deal he signed.
Johnson described that plan as an “insurance” policy if a fresh deal could not be reached with the EU.

The threat of unilateral action has already gone down badly in European capitals, with EU leaders urging the UK Government to fully participate in talks.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin yesterday said that the only way to resolve the row was “substantive talks” between the UK and the EU. | https://www.thejournal.ie/liz-truss-northern-ireland-protocol-5765982-May2022/ | 2022-05-17T07:27:28Z | https://www.thejournal.ie/liz-truss-northern-ireland-protocol-5765982-May2022/ | true | 12 |

Psaki's Replacement Bombs First Day as Doocy Stumps Her with Question - Even with Her Eyes Glued to Notes
Throughout the tenure of former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy made a habit of asking her tough questions, which she often struggled to answer.
On her first day, new White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre signaled this trend will not end anytime soon.
“The president’s Twitter account posted the other day, ‘You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share,'” Doocy began.
You want to bring down inflation?
Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 13, 2022
“How does raising taxes on corporations reduce inflation?”
Peter Doocy just completely STUMPED Psaki’s replacement on her first day
This is so embarrassing. She’s DONE. pic.twitter.com/Ifuv4aGg0H
— Danny De Urbina (@dannydeurbina) May 16, 2022
Jean-Pierre appeared to be caught off guard by the question, and she quickly looked down at her notes.
“Um, so, are you talking about a specific tweet?” she said.
Doocy then quoted the exact tweet once again, exactly as he had done just a few seconds before.
“Look, you know, we have talked about, we have talked about this this past year, about making sure that the wealthiest among us are paying their fair share,” Jean-Pierre said. “And that is important to do, and that is something that, you know, the president has been working on every day when we talk about inflation and lowering costs.”
Jean-Pierre went on for a while longer repeating the Biden administration’s pitch for raising taxes on corporations, but she failed to explain how this would improve inflation in any way. Doocy eventually pressed her on this question.
“How does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?” Doocy questioned.
Jean-Pierre then appeared to read a prewritten diatribe about the values of raising taxes on the wealthy in order to address climate change, which had even less to do with the question than her first answer.
Doocy attempted to ask his question one last time in hopes of getting a real answer from Jean-Pierre.
“The president said, ‘You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share,'” Doocy repeated. “Jeff Bezos came out and tweeted about that. He said the newly-created disinformation board should review this tweet. Would you be ok with that?”
The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection. https://t.co/ye4XiNNc2v
— Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) May 14, 2022
“Look, it’s not a huge mystery why one of the wealthiest individuals on Earth, right, opposes an economic agenda that is for the middle class, that cuts some of the biggest costs families face, fights inflation for the long haul, right,” Jean-Pierre said.
After some more scripted reading that failed to even sniff an actual answer to the question, Doocy moved on to his next question in an apparent concession that he would never receive a real answer about Biden’s tweet.
As press secretary, Jean-Pierre should be prepared for questions as simple as this one.
Doocy was just asking her to back up a tweet Biden had already sent, yet she was unable to do so.
In the end, this misstep may reflect worse on Biden than it does on Jean-Pierre.
Try as they might, neither Psaki nor Jean-Pierre has been able to cover for Biden’s consistent lies and incompetence.

New publication reveals clear benefits of cuffless BP monitors for the first time, as experts call for guidelines to enable their use
NEUCHATEL, Switzerland , May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of prominent blood pressure experts, including clinical and academic leaders, are acknowledging the tremendous potential of cuffless Blood Pressure monitors, and calling on international scientific and expert associations to include them in future versions of guidelines and standards. A new paper, published in Frontiers in Medical Technology and authored by the aforementioned experts, compares traditional and cuffless BP monitors for the first time, and makes a compelling argument for greater use of cuffless devices.
Using real-world, clinical trial, and observational data from people using Aktiia, the world's first continual cuffless BP monitor worn at the wrist, the paper compares readings to those from traditional methods in a number of scenarios. It draws a clear conclusion that the cuffless device provides a richer and more representative picture of a person's blood pressure over time.
"The ability to measure blood pressure automatically without disrupting the patient's day is the real game-changer with cuffless devices," comments Dr Jay Shah, Chief Medical Officer at Aktiia and a practising cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic.
"Cuffless allows many more readings to be taken throughout a person's day and over long periods of time, which unlocks the concept of 'time in target range' as opposed to a snapshot reading to try to assess a patient's blood pressure. For example, there is a known association between CV risk and night time BP, but getting an accurate picture of how a person's blood pressure behaves at night has been elusive until now. The benefits of automatic and continual readings must not be underestimated - it's an incredibly exciting time."
Research shows even a very motivated patient is unlikely to provide more than 30 readings a month, and in fact, half of hypertensive patients report never taking their BP at home, 10% check it less than once a month and only 24% more than once a week.
Cuffless BP monitors, when clinically validated, have also been found to be as accurate as traditional devices. In a trial of ambulatory vs. cuffless it was found that the difference in readings was below the error margin for any device currently on the market, meaning patients and clinicians can have a high degree of confidence in using them. Aktiia also provides a way for a person to easily share their BP data with their provider, which means clinicians can have a greater oversight of the patient's BP between office visits.
Hypertension is one of the biggest health burdens globally, and an area in which little progress has been seen for a long time. This new paper argues that cuffless monitoring could represent a new frontier in BP management, which would ultimately save lives. As such, the paper's authors and leading experts in BP are calling on international scientific and expert associations to include cuffless BP monitors in research and future versions of guidelines and standards, in order to facilitate their roll out among clinicians globally.
Notes to Editors
The undertreatment of hypertension remains a persistent clinical challenge. An estimated 6-8 million people in the UK live with undiagnosed or uncontrolled high blood pressure. There are real-world benefits of wrist-worn 24/7 automated blood pressure monitoring, as it removes the hassle, discomfort, and disruption of having to take a measurement with a cuff. Patients just aren't likely to take as many cuff readings as their physician needs to make a proper diagnosis or to monitor the effectiveness of treatment – but with Aktiia patient engagement and adherence is over 10x that of standard cuffs.
Aktiia has CE Mark class IIa medical device approval and to date over 31 million measurements have been taken across Europe.

LONDON, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to stark new warnings that the world will likely warm by more than 1.5° C over the next five years, Henley & Partners in partnership with Deep Knowledge Analytics today launched the Investment Migration Climate Resilience Index — a unique new analytical tool to assess your own country's climate resilience and explore investment migration program options that offer a pathway to residence rights or citizenship acquisition in more climate resilient locations in return for making a significant investment in the host country's economy.
Using over 900 different data points within 5 parameters, and considering key factors of vulnerability, readiness to leverage climate investments, and economic ability to adapt, the innovative new study has produced a Climate Resilience score for 180 countries and separated them into three resilience bands: higher resilience (scores of 60 or more out of 100), medium resilience (scores of 45 to 59.9), and lower resilience (scores of 44.9 or less). The sobering reality is that the vast majority — 142 countries — fall in the lower resilience band where citizens are more at risk from extreme environmental events such as forest fires, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms. Infrastructure will be both weaker and more exposed, and the ability to prepare for and respond to the aftermath of extreme weather events will be lower.
The Investment Migration Climate Resilience Index uniquely combines World Bank GDP data (the average of normalized GDP and GDP per capita for each country) with the University of Notre Dame's latest Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative (ND-GAIN) Country Index, which summarizes countries' vulnerability to climate change and readiness to convert financial investments (climate finance) into climate adaptation measures. By adding GDP data to the mix, Henley & Partners' new Global Climate Resilience Ranking incorporates the important consideration of a country's economic ability to adapt to climate change and protect its citizens against the most adverse effects.
Unsurprisingly, the top five countries are all in the northern hemisphere. The US ranks 1st, with a Climate Resilience score of 70.6, followed by Germany (70.3), the UK (69.4), Switzerland (68.4), and Canada (68.3) in 5th place by a narrow margin. Even less surprisingly, Sub-Saharan countries occupy the bottom five positions with the world's least climate resilient country being Chad, in 136th place, with a score of just 19.1 out of 100.
CEO of Henley & Partners, Dr. Juerg Steffen, says climate change concerns are increasingly informing the long-term asset location strategies of international investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs. "Climate change is already impacting on all aspects of our lives so by investing in a more climate resilient country, in addition to residence rights or a supplementary citizenship, investors gain the right to relocate their families, their assets, and critical infrastructure to a more resilient place that will be able to better withstand future climate shocks."
Out of just fifteen countries globally that are classified as higher resilience, seven host investment migration programs, including the US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, the UK Tier 1 Innovator Visa, the Swiss Residence Program, which Henley & Partners designed for non-EU and non-EFTA nationals, Canada's Start-Up Visa Program, Australia's Business Innovation and Investment Program, the Luxembourg Residence by Investment Program and the Italy Residence by Investment Program.
There are eight investment migration options in medium resilience countries including the Singapore Global Investor Program, Ireland's Immigrant Investor Program, the Austria Citizenship by Investment provisions, the Spain Residence by Investment Program, the New Zealand Residence by Investment Program, the UAE's new residence visa options, the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program and the Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program.
Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, says no one should be planning for the long term without considering the climate change factor. "The countries and cities that are most resilient will attract global talent and investors in search of 'climate havens' that have prepared for what lies ahead. The time has come to actively build future-ready climate resilient portfolios if you want to lower your risk to the inevitable impact of climate disasters."

General Motors Co's luxury brand, Cadillac, will sell both models of its all-electric sport utility vehicle Lyriq for more than $60,000 (roughly R962,883), the US automaker said on Monday.
GM will start taking orders this week for the Lyriq, an all-electric mid-size SUV that was unveiled in August 2020 in a move by the automaker to transform its traditional combustion engine line-up to an electric one.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq's rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant prices start at $62,990 (roughly R1,010,866) and will offer an EPA-estimated 502km of range on a full charge, Detroit-based GM said. Its all-wheel drive (AWD) model will start at $64,990 (roughly R1,010,866).
The premium brand had received 233,000 expressions of interest from consumers, Cadillac's global vice-president Rory Harvey said in March.
The automaker will start taking orders for both models on May 19, with RWD deliveries expected to start this fall. Initial deliveries of the AWD model are expected to start in early 2023.
Earlier this year, GM told suppliers to gear up for production of 25,000 Lyriqs in 2022, up from the previous 3,200 planned, sources told Reuters in February. | https://www.timeslive.co.za/motoring/new-models/2022-05-17-new-all-electric-cadillac-lyriq-will-start-at-over-60000/ | 2022-05-17T07:45:39Z | https://www.timeslive.co.za/motoring/new-models/2022-05-17-new-all-electric-cadillac-lyriq-will-start-at-over-60000/ | true | 1 |

Twitter Users, Others Criticize Bette Midler Over Her 'Cruel and Insensitive' Take on Baby Formula Shortage
Bette Midler’s solution to America’s baby formula crisis has caused outrage across the Twittersphere this week in what critics say was a tone-deaf suggestion by the actress and singer.
“TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand,” Midler tweeted Thursday.

Ilyse Hogue, president of the social impact organization Purpose, helped lead the charge of angry responses.
“Bette, respectfully, this is a very bad take. I had twins. I didn’t produce enough milk for both. Without formula, I would have had to have chosen which one got to eat. To say nothing of kids that get separated from the birth mothers very young,” she tweeted.

— Ilyse Hogue (@ilyseh) May 12, 2022
Hogue was not alone in her criticisms. One woman called Midler’s remark “cruel and insensitive,” tweeting: MY body didn’t allow me to do so. Mine dried up before I gave birth.”
WOW Bette, what a cruel and insensitive comment. MY body didn’t allow me to do so. Mine dried up before I gave birth. So much for women supporting other women’s choices! If you sang this.. your tune would be flat. DO BETTER.

Not everyone is able to breastfeed for lots of reasons. And even for those who can, it’s not easy or free. https://t.co/JIlfWIZlBU
— Tara Panella (@tilted_axis) May 12, 2022
No.
Please- we all love you, but delete this now.
There are soooooooo many reasons a woman cannot or chooses not to breastfeed.
This sentiment is not helping the mothers trying to keep their babies from starving right now.
— orgfarmer (@orgfarmer) May 12, 2022
I am a huge advocate of breastfeeding! But there are a dozen reasons a mom may not be able to do so. And many who can’t breastfeed wish they could. Try compassion https://t.co/Jz764QvPJ3
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) May 13, 2022
The ignorance of this tweet is overwhelming. There are many mommies undergoing cancer and other medical treatments that would love to breastfeed but they don’t want to harm their infants while fighting for their own lives. https://t.co/5jM4Jb74dF
— Nicole Saphier, MD (@NBSaphierMD) May 13, 2022
Midler later tried to make amends – sort of, tweeting, “People are piling on because of former tweet. No shame if you can’t breastfeed, but if you can & are somehow convinced that your own milk isn’t as good as a ‘scientifically researched product’, that’s something else again. The monopoly news is news to me, tho, no lie. #WETNURSES.”
But even that did not go over well.
Noooooo. Stop. Do not double down on this. This is so bad.
— Amber Gustafson (@AmberForIowa) May 12, 2022
Dr. Daniel Summers, a pediatrician in the Boston area, said Midler’s initial comment was “a terrible, thoughtless and unhelpful take,” according to KFOR-TV.
“Not every woman can breastfeed, no matter how much anyone says they can,” he said.
Summers also took issue with Midler’s contention that breastfeeding is “free.”
“Saying breastfeeding is free means that no value is put on the mother’s time, because breastfeeding requires a great deal of time and effort,” he said.
“Some mothers do not have the resources necessary to give that time, in many cases because they need to bring home money to support their families and cannot dedicate the time to nursing.”
Summers said the argument that milk from a mother’s breast is better than formula is “supremely unhelpful.”
“It’s not a question of formula vs. breastmilk — it’s a question of formula vs. starving,” Summers said, saying that some moms do not produce enough milk to meet the needs of their babies.

Twitter does not believe in free speech and people working at the company hate 'hated' Elon Musk's USD 44 billion bid to take control of the company, said a man, who is being described as a senior engineer with the social media giant.
An American far-right activist group Project Veritas released a video purportedly showing a senior Twitter engineer Siru Murugesan admitting that the company has a strong left-wing bias, and that right-wingers were openly censored.
Murugesan was caught on camera saying that the company culture at Twitter is extremely far left, and said his colleagues 'hate, hate, hate' the proposed takeover by the Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
According to Murugesan, Twitter's office politics was so left-leaning that the people working at the micro-blogging site have changed their original views to adjust to the prevailing atmosphere.
Twitter recently agreed to an acquisition by Tesla CEO in a deal worth USD 44 billion, although it is still subject to shareholder approval.
However, Elon Musk declared that the USD 44 billion takeover bid of the micro-blogging site is on hold.
Musk himself has frequently complained about a left-wing bias on Twitter.
He had said Twitter's decision to ban former United States President Donald Trump was a mistake and he would reverse it if his acquisition of the social media company is successful.
On the question of how his co-workers responded to the news of Musk's buyout, Murugesan replied: "They're like, this would be my last day if this happens."
Murugesan said 'a lot has changed' since Musk began the takeover process in April and employees were worried for their jobs, as his companies run differently in contrast to Twitter's 'socialist' workplace.
"He's a capitalist and we weren't really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist. Like we're all commie as f***."
Murugesan said the company's operating procedures were extremely lax and "essentially like everyone gets to do whatever they want".
Murugesan said that many staffers had openly tried to thwart the Musk takeover and a lot of employees revolted against it.
After Musk announced Twitter takeover, Murugesan said, "Employees warned of the 'exodus' of staff."
"We did all we could, to like revolt against it," he said. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/twitter-openly-left-wing-censors-right-wingers-insider/20220517.htm | 2022-05-17T07:58:17Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/twitter-openly-left-wing-censors-right-wingers-insider/20220517.htm | true | 8 |

We didn't deserve to be on the pitch: Xhaka
"It's difficult to find the right words. From the first minute to the 90th we didn't deserve to be on the pitch," the Swiss told Sky Sports.
Arsenal's defeat by Newcastle United on Monday was a disaster and their players didn't deserve to be on the pitch, midfielder Granit Xhaka said in a remarkable rebuke of his team mates.
Arsenal were chasing a Champions League qualification spot, sitting two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur (68), but were second best throughout in their 2-0 loss at St James' Park.
The hosts dominated the match and scored twice in the second half, first through a Ben White own goal and then a Bruno Guimaraes strike after the Arsenal defence was left flat-footed.
Xhaka did not hold back on what he thought of his side's performance, which leaves them hoping for a miracle on the final day to avoid a sixth successive season out of Europe's elite competition.
"It's difficult to find the right words. From the first minute to the 90th we didn't deserve to be on the pitch," the Swiss told Sky Sports.
"I can't explain to you why. We didn't do what the game plan was, not listening to the coach. What happened was a disaster performance. You don't deserve to play Champions League or even Europa League. It's very hard to take it at the moment.
"I don't know why we're not doing what the coach is asking for us."
The 29-year-old, who has had a turbulent time at Arsenal after being stripped of the captaincy in 2019, denied that inexperience in Mikel Arteta's squad was a problem.
"If someone isn't ready for this game, stay at home. It doesn't matter your age. If you're nervous, stay on the bench or stay at home. You need people to have the balls to come here and play. It's one of the most important games for us. We're feeling very disappointed for the people who came over here," he said.
"Sorry to them (the fans), I don't have any other words. The dressing room is very quiet. The game plan was totally different to what we did over 90 minutes."
"We are waiting for six years (to play in Champions League). We had everything in our hands."
Arteta's side host Everton, who are fighting against relegation, in their final game of the season on Sunday.
The only realistic way Arsenal can now snatch the final Champions League spot away from their north London rivals is if Spurs are beaten by already-relegated bottom side Norwich City on Sunday and Arteta's side defeat Everton as Tottenham have a far superior goal difference.
"Newcastle were 100 times better than us... In every department you have to earn the right to play and we didn't do it," Spaniard Arteta told the BBC.
"We have to put our head down and accept the performance was nowhere near the standard required for the Champions League.
"From tomorrow we'll prepare for Everton. It's still mathematically possible." | https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/we-didnt-deserve-be-pitch-xhaka-421394 | 2022-05-17T08:22:21Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/we-didnt-deserve-be-pitch-xhaka-421394 | true | 9 |

On Monday, Members of Knesset from both the coalition and opposition called for the State of Israel to develop new policies to defeat its enemies, or its future might be challenging. The Members of Knesset, with senior military and security leaders, heads of NGOs and academics, came together for the opening of the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus (KIVC), in coordination with the Israel Victory Project of the Middle East Forum.
The KIVC was hosted by its chairmen, Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Zvi Hauser (New Hope), Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Evgeny Sova (Yisrael Beytenu) and Former Minister of Finance and Intelligence MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud), to discuss the recent unrest in Israel, how to defeat the latest wave of terrorism, and what was achieved exactly one year since Operation Guardian of the Walls.
“Israel is the only country in the world that breaches its defensive ability over its own territory,” said MK Hauser. “We have seen this in every round of fighting against Hamas, which undermines our legitimacy to be victorious. We had seven years since Operation Protective Edge in 2014 to prepare for Operation Guardian of the Walls, when we should have been preparing to ‘finish this story’ and failed to do so. Our policies should dictate our abilities and not the other way around.”
“The next round in Gaza will come, and it is only a matter of time, but the important questions about the decision-making and the need for victory must be asked now and understand these conclusions and how to put them into practice," said MK Sova.
“There has been a steady deterioration in strategic decision-making since the First Lebanon War that has harmed Israel’s national security, so there is no choice but to return to the idea of victory,” said MK Steinitz. “The more we postpone it, the harder it will become. We could and should have finished off Hamas, we came so close in 2008.”
“In 2014, I was the only person in the Security Cabinet to call for the suppression (of Hamas), all others disagreed.”
"A year after Operation Guardian of the Walls, alongside the terrorist attacks over the past two months, the time has come to internalize, learn, and change by strengthening the security of the citizens of Israel and the spirit of Israeli victory," Gregg Roman, Director of the Middle East Forum, said.
Yair Maimon, a resident of Tekoa in the Gush Etzion, who killed a Palestinian Authority Arab terrorist who infiltrated his town last week, also spoke about the need to defeat Israel’s enemies.
“The morning after the attempted terror attacks, I posted a picture of my wife and I drinking coffee saying we were waiting for the next terrorist, with a wink, and the love and support we received showed that the people are thirsty for victory,” Maimon said. “We need to tell the people about victory. The Palestinians tell themselves a story that one more attack and their victory will be around the corner because they see us as temporary and can wait thousands of years and we will not be here.”
“The way we can take them out of this imaginary story is to say we are not ashamed of victory, and we reach out to those who want to make peace but on the other hand we defeat those who want to hurt us.”
Major General (Reserve) and Former Ombudsman of the IDF Yitzhak Brick said that, “In Israel’s wars we fought with uncertainty, but with a commitment to the mission and a love of the homeland. Decisions at the political level are made according to the price being paid and not the necessity on the ground. Anyone who fears loss will not have the ability to win on the battlefield. This conduct will lead to a loss of fighting spirit and deterrence.” | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/327671 | 2022-05-17T08:22:55Z | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/327671 | false | 2 |
TORONTO (AP)Yusei Kikuchi allowed one hit over six shutout innings to beat his former team, Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman backed the left-hander with home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays topped the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Monday night.
Bichette went 3 for 5 with two RBIs and scored twice as the Blue Jays returned home from a 2-7 trip.
Raimel Tapia hit an RBI single in the sixth and pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk added a two-run single in the seventh as the Blue Jays scored more than five runs for the first time since May 7 at Cleveland. Toronto mustered seven runs over three games at Tampa Bay this past weekend.
”It was good to see our offense score that many runs today,” manager Charlie Montoyo said. ”The timely hitting was big.”
The Mariners have not won back-to-back games since victories over Kansas City on April 24 and Tampa Bay on April 26. Seattle is 7-13 on the road.
Kikuchi (2-1) walked three and struck out six to win for the second time in three starts.
”The biggest thing was establishing the fastball and really commanding that pitch in the zone,” he said through a translator.
Kikuchi didn’t pitch past the fifth in any of his first four appearances with Toronto but has worked into the sixth in each of his last three outings. He’s 2-0 with a 1.56 ERA during that span, striking out 20 in 17 1/3 innings.
”He looks awesome,” Bichette said. ”He’s one of the nastier lefties that I’ve faced. To see him being aggressive, going after hitters, I think that’s huge for him.”
Seattle didn’t get a hit until Jesse Winker grounded a double down the first-base line to begin the fifth. Luis Torrens drew a one-out walk, but Kikuchi struck out Steven Souza Jr. and got Dylan Moore to fly out.
Kikuchi went 15-24 with a 4.97 ERA in 70 starts for the Mariners over the previous three seasons before signing with Toronto in March.
”He did a really good job commanding the fastball and mixing it with the slider,” Seattle’s Eugenio Suarez said.
Suarez hit a solo home run for the Mariners, the 200th of his career, off Trevor Richards in the seventh. Richards left after walking Torrens and pinch-hitter Mike Ford, and pinch-hitter Adam Frazier loaded the bases with a single off Yimi Garcia. Toronto escaped when Garcia got Abraham Toro to fly out and retired Ty France on a grounder.
”That was really the only big pressure we had,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
Adam Cimber got two outs with two runners on for his fourth major league save and second this season.
Bichette homered in the first, his fourth, and Chapman added a two-out drive in the second, his sixth. Both came off right-hander Chris Flexen (1-6), who lost his fourth straight decision.
”Obviously, he made a couple of mistakes on the home run balls,” Servais said. ”Other than that, I thought he threw the ball really well. We didn’t do anything offensively for him.”
Flexen allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out a season-high seven.
RAY ABSENT
Mariners LHP Robbie Ray, who won the 2021 AL Cy Young Award with Toronto, didn’t make the trip to Canada with his teammates after pitching six innings Sunday against the Mets. Servais said Ray will rejoin the team Thursday in Boston. To enter the country, the Canadian government requires a person to have received a second COVID-19 vaccine dose – or one dose of Johnson & Johnson – at least 14 days before entry.
ROSTER MOVES
Mariners: Placed reliever Drew Steckenrider on the restricted list and selected LHP Roenis Elias from Triple-A Tacoma.
Blue Jays: Reinstated INF Cavan Biggio from the COVID-19 injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo. . Pittsburgh claimed C Tyler Heineman on waivers. Toronto sent Heineman to Triple-A last week.
TRAINER’S ROOM
The Blue Jays put LHP Tim Mayza (forearm) on the 10-day injured list and recalled LHP Andrew Vasquez from Triple-A.
RAMIREZ TRADED
Seattle traded RHP Yohan Ramirez to Cleveland for cash. The 27-year-old Ramirez went 1-0 with a 7.56 ERA before he was designated for assignment May 13.
OPEN SEASON
The retractable roof at Rogers Centre was open for the first time this season. Temperature at first pitch was 63 degrees.
SHORT-STAFFED
Second base umpire Jeremie Rehak was not part of the crew, leaving three umpires working the game. Third base ump Ryan Wills covered second when necessary.
UP NEXT
Mariners RHP Logan Gilbert (4-1, 2.13 ERA) starts Tuesday against Blue Jays RHP Jose Berrios (2-2, 5.82). Gilbert has a 4.60 ERA in three May starts after allowing one earned run in four April outings. Berrios has permitted five earned runs or more in back-to-back starts, both losses.

Local supporters for abortion rights added their voice Sunday afternoon in Paducah to growing anger across the country over the leaked draft opinion suggesting the U.S. Supreme Court may be preparing to overturn the landmark 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade.
“For me and many other women, we acknowledge that Roe v. Wade affects way more than just abortions,” said Desiree Reynolds, the protest organizer.
“And we do not agree that the government or men or any kind of religion, or anything like that should have control over women’s bodies and force them to be mothers if they don’t want to be.”
The protest in Paducah drew a group of about 25 to 30 people, mostly women, from different backgrounds. Some of them held signs, such as ones that read “My Body, My Choice” and “We won’t go back.”
“I wouldn’t have cared if there was 1,000 people or 100 or five, or if I was standing out there by myself,” she said. “This cause is just so important to me. For my future, my daughter’s future — that it didn’t really matter to me how many people showed up.
“I just wanted to be able to get the message out there. And let people know that we’re not going to go backward.”
The marches are part of a nationwide effort to protest the leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that was released nearly two weeks prior, which prompted a wave of responses from different sides of the abortion issue.
“I had been trying to figure out a day that I could do it between, you know, my work and having a daughter myself,” Reynolds said. “Then I saw through social media and through TikTok that a bunch of protesters and marches were happening on May 15. It just happened to coincide. So, we planned it for then.”
Many of the largest of these protests were focused in larger cities.
“The whole point that I wanted to do this was to not just have the attention be brought in big cities,” Reynolds said. “I want people to know that even in the smaller towns, and even more so right in the ‘Bible Belt’ that we support this, too.
“We want to support women and stand for women’s rights. And so doing it on that day just felt even more like we’re standing in (solidarity).”
Some of the protesters also expressed their displeasure that this was being again argued, with one protester saying how her grandmother had fought and been arrested to protect this right for her.
“My nana said that, ‘This is what I fought for you to not have to do,’ ” Hannah Barnett, one protester at the event, said. “It’s too important to not do anything.”

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Twenty West Virginia housing authorities will receive nearly $42 million in federal funding for housing programs.
Sens. Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito announced the funding Monday from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A statement from the senators said the funding will expand rental assistance, address substance use disorder and support other programs, including for residents experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
Included in the funding is a Community Development Block Grant of more than $14 million for the state. Nine cities will receive similar grants ranging from $101,000 for Vienna to $1.6 million for Huntington.
The state also will receive several million dollars in various other grants for housing assistance in emergencies, for low-income households, for residents in recovery from a substance-use disorder and for people with HIV.
The cities of Charleston, Huntington, Martinsburg, Parkersburg and Wheeling also will receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants for low-income renters or home owners. The city of Point Pleasant’s housing authority will receive $4.2 million to help residents ages 18 to 24 who are homeless or are at risk, the statement said.
The counties of Cabell, Kanawha, Marion and Mingo will receive funding to help families use a voucher to meet homeownership expenses. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/West-Virginia-housing-programs-get-42M-in-17177971.php | 2022-05-17T08:33:17Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/West-Virginia-housing-programs-get-42M-in-17177971.php | true | 15 |
Rupee hits new low, falls 14 paise to 77.69 per US dollar
The Indian currency rupee touched yet another all-time low against the US dollar earlier this morning.
New Delhi, May 17 The Indian currency rupee touched yet another all-time low against the US dollar earlier this morning.
The rupee fell 14 paise to 77.69 per US dollar.
Money market participants are currently closely watching the domestic share market for clues to fund flows.
An expectation of tightening monetary policy rates in the US also weighed on the rupee as any rate hike in the advanced markets typically follows with fund outflows from the emerging markets in order to accumulate higher returns.
Rupee has been under-pressure after the global central banks started the normalising policy and last week RBI too started raising key interest rates.
Besides, the rupee weakened on account of a surge in the global crude oil prices. | https://www.thehansindia.com/business/rupee-hits-new-low-falls-14-paise-to-7769-per-us-dollar-743235 | 2022-05-17T08:34:04Z | https://www.thehansindia.com/business/rupee-hits-new-low-falls-14-paise-to-7769-per-us-dollar-743235 | false | null |

Elon Musk Emerges Again in Johnny Depp Trial, Here's What Amber Heard Revealed About Him
As the drama of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial continues, the name of Elon Musk came up Monday in court.
The Hollywood star is suing his ex-wife over a 2018 Washington Post Op-Ed in which the actress described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Depp claims that although he was not named in Heard’s Op-Ed, she falsely implied that he was a domestic abuser, which deeply damaged his career.
He is suing her for $50 million.
So how does Musk come into this?
Before Heard began testifying this month at the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, outlets such as the New York Post’s Page Six and the United Arab Emirates’ National were running headlines reminding readers that Heard and Musk were briefly in a relationship after her divorce from Depp.
The billionaire’s name has come up a few times in the trial, Newsweek reported. He was also named on Heard’s witness list, according to the U.K.’s Independent.
But on Monday, Heard herself brought up Musk during her testimony.
She said that in 2016, Depp stood her up at the Met Gala in New York City even though they were still married at the time.
The actress said his absence led her to have a conversation with Musk at the event.
“So I ended up going by myself. Frankly, I wasn’t sure if he’d show up on the carpet or if he’d show up at the hotel before. I had no way of knowing,” Heard said.
“I got out of the car and walked the red carpet by myself, escorted by someone on Ralph Lauren’s team, and I sat next to an empty place setting for Johnny that they cleared as soon as we realized he wasn’t,” she said. “He effectively stood me up on the red carpet.”
Heard said she ended up near Musk.
“I was standing in line right in front of a gentleman. It was Elon [Musk]. I didn’t recognize him until we started talking,” the actress said. “And he reminded me that we had met once before.
“He was with his mother. He seemed like a real gentleman, he was really nice. He sat next to me, he sat kind of in a nearby table, and we got to speaking that night and then eventually became friends.”
Later, a month after her divorce from Depp in 2017, Heard and Musk began dating. But they broke up in 2018, the Independent reported.
The former spouses’ agent, Christian Carino, also previously testified at the trial that Heard was dating Musk around the same time that she was also trying to reconcile with her husband.
In earlier statements in the trial, Heard’s lawyers claimed that Depp had been “obsessed” with Musk.
