Digital SME banking startup Recognise Bank has completed an £8.7 million capital raise from City of London Group, the bank's parent company.
Recognise Bank was given the green light by the UK's Prudential Regulation Authority in September to launch personal and business savings products and to start taking deposits.
The lifting of restrictions followed the completion of a £14 million capital raise in August for the City of London Group subsidiary.
The Bank recently hit a milestone of £100 million in lending and £95 million in deposits through its range of personal savings accounts and in April launched it first business savings accounts.
The new funding means that CoLG has so far raised almost £65 million in investment to kickstart the startup.
The latest investment comes from two of CoLG’s existing shareholders, PV27, the family office of real estate entrepreneur and digital pioneer, Ruth Parasol, and Max Barney Investment Limited (MBIL), the London based property firm. PV27 and MBIL are exercising warrants received during the last fund raise in August 2021.
Bryce Glover, CEO of Recognise Bank says the new capital will be used to support continued business lending, as well as the creation of a digital innovation team charged with building new products and fresh revenue streams.
“Recognise Bank has already made its mark in the business banking sector by hitting the challenging lending target we set, proving there is demand amongst the UK’s SMEs for our mix of relationship banking, supported by cutting edge technology," he says. "Investing in our digital capabilities will help us build a world-class business bank, for today and the future.” | https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/40256/recognise-bank-seals-87-million-capital-raise | 2022-05-17T08:39:05Z | https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/40256/recognise-bank-seals-87-million-capital-raise | true | 1 |
During more than a decade as North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un has made "self-reliance" his governing lynchpin, shunning international help and striving instead for domestic strategies to fix his battered economy.
But as an illness suspected to be COVID-19 sickens hundreds of thousands of his people, Kim stands at a critical crossroad: Either swallow his pride and receive foreign help to fight the disease, or go it alone, enduring potential huge fatalities that may undermine his leadership.
"Kim Jong Un is in a dilemma, a really huge dilemma," said Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University's Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul. "If he accepts U.S. or Western assistance, that can shake the self-reliance stance that he has steadfastly maintained and public confidence in him could be weakened."
Doing nothing, however, could be calamitous.
Since acknowledging a COVID-19 outbreak last week, North Korea has said "an explosively spreading fever" has killed 56 people and sickened about 1.5 million others. Outside observers suspect most of those cases were caused by the coronavirus.
Whatever North Korea's state-controlled media says about those who are sick, the outbreak is likely several times worse. North Korea lacks sufficient COVID-19 tests, and experts say it is significantly understating deaths to avoid possible public unrest that could hurt Kim politically.
Some observers say the stated death toll is low for a country where most of the 26 million people are unvaccinated and medicine is in short supply.
The North's apparent underreporting of deaths is meant to defend Kim's authority as he faces "the first and biggest crisis" of his decade of rule, Nam Sung-wook, a professor at Korea University, said.
The North Korean outbreak may be linked to a massive military parade in Pyongyang in late April that Kim organized to feature new weapons and loyal troops. The parade drew tens of thousands of soldiers and residents from around the country. After the event, Kim spent several days taking dozens of commemorative group photos with parade participants, all of whom were without masks. Most of the photos involved dozens or hundreds of people.
North Korea may be able to publicly hide the real number of deaths, but the country's strengthened restrictions on movement and quarantine rules could hurt its agricultural cultivation. Its economy is already battered by more than two years of pandemic-caused border shutdowns and other curbs.
North Korea is also worried about a shortage of medical supplies and food and daily necessities that have dried up in markets during the border closures, Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul's University of North Korean Studies, said.
"They are experiencing another 'arduous march,''' Yang said, referring to the state's euphemism for a devastating famine in the 1990s that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Kim has previously rebuffed millions of doses of vaccines offered by the U.N.-backed COVAX distribution program. After the North admitted to an outbreak, South Korean and China offered to send vaccines, medicine and other medical supplies to North Korea. The United States said it supports international aid efforts, though it has no current plans to share its vaccine supplies with the North.
Receiving outside help would put the North, which is always intensely proud, despite its poverty, in a difficult position. Kim had repeatedly touted his country as "impregnable" to the pandemic during the past two years. On Saturday, however, he said his country faces "a great upheaval" and that officials must study how China, his country's only major ally, and other nations have handled the pandemic.
Nam, the professor, said Kim will likely eventually want to receive Chinese aid shipments, but not from South Korea, the United States or COVAX.
"Overcoming 'the great upheaval' with help from what North Korea calls American imperialists and from South Korea won't be tolerated because that goes against the dignity of its supreme leader," he said.
And North Korea will only accept Chinese aid if it's made in an informal, unpublicized manner, because it's "a matter of national pride," analyst Seo Yu-Seok at the Seoul-based Institute of North Korean Studies said. He said China will likely agree to this because it views aid shipments as a way to bolster ties with a partner as it confronts the West.
But Cho Han Bum, an analyst at Seoul's Korea Institute for National Unification, said North Korea may look to South Korea for support because it questions the effectiveness of Chinese vaccines. He said South Korean shipments over the Korean land border would also be faster.
Experts are divided over what support North Korea most needs. Some call for sending 60 million to 70 million vaccine doses to inoculate its people multiple times. Others say it's too late to send such a large volume, and that North Korea needs fever reducers, test kits, masks and other daily necessities more.
Because preventing a virus spread across the country's unvaccinated population is already unrealistic, the aim should be providing a limited supply of vaccines to reduce deaths among high-risk groups, including the elderly and people with existing medical conditions, said Jung Jae-hun, a professor of preventive medicine at South Korea's Gachon University.
"Combating COVID-19 requires a comprehensive national ability, including the capacity for testing, treatment and inoculating people with vaccines," Jung said. "The problem can't be solved if the outside world helps with only one or two of those elements." | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/05/17/north-koreas-kim-faces-huge-dilemma-on-aid-as-virus-surges | 2022-05-17T08:43:15Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/05/17/north-koreas-kim-faces-huge-dilemma-on-aid-as-virus-surges | false | 31 |

Arsenal defeat to Newcastle creates complications with leading transfer targets
ARSENAL's Champions League hopes went up in smoke on Monday when they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park.
Arsenal's toothless, campaign-defining 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Monday night - that all but surrendered their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season - is set to have damaging implications for their summer transfer business. A number of the club's priority targets that have already fallen under consideration and discussion inside the Gunners boardroom consider Europe's elite club competition imperative, meaning Arsenal are likely to be faced with further challenges when striving to improve Mikel Arteta's squad.
The Spaniard's brutal post-match assessment of his side's spineless display on Tyneside would suggest he's well aware of exactly that.
Despite remaining in control of their own destiny in the aftermath of last Thursday's resounding 3-0 north London derby defeat at Tottenham, Arsenal never truly possessed the belief to take the top-four race by the scruff of the neck.
Instead, the Gunners have been left to lick their wounds ahead of the final day of the Premier League season, when a single point will do for rivals Tottenham when they travel to East Anglia to face 20th-placed Norwich.
While Arsenal have already reaffirmed their commitment to their current manager, Arteta will now be facing sleepless nights over the calibre of player the Gunners can attract without the sell of Champions League football.

Arsenal's commanding grip on fourth had previously provided a strong foundation during transfer talks with between Edu and the representatives of Gabriel Jesus and Youri Tielemans.
Both are leaving their respected clubs -Manchester City and Leicester - with a view to playing regular Champions League football. Now Arsenal will be tasked with twisting their arm, after sacrificing their unique selling point.
Jesus' agent Marcelo Pettinati, recently laid on record his client's interest in a move to Arsenal before declaring that there were a whole host of other potential suitors at the table.
“We had talks with Arsenal about Gabriel Jesus, we like the project - it’s a possibility we’re discussing," Pettinati told Fabrizio Romano.
“There are 6 more clubs interested in Gabriel - he’s focused on final games with Man City, we’ll see”.

Should any of those other clubs be able to offer Jesus Champions League football, Arsenal will be at risk of missing out on the Manchester City frontman - with an opening offer now understood to be imminent - unless they can pull off a final-day miracle or alternatively, sweeten the player's reps.
Should Jesus opt against choosing Arsenal as his next destination, there will also be question marks surrounding the calibre of striker Arsenal can attract without the lure of the prestigious tournament, particularly given the centre-forward market is a saturated one.
Dusan Vlahovic already rebuffed the Gunners in January - his representatives even refused to pick up the phone - in favour of a switch to Juventus.
Darwin Nunez, another striker Arsenal have monitored, will also only leave Benfica for a club where Champions League football is on offer.
Tielemans had also emerged as one of Arsenal's leading central midfield targets in the past few weeks after Edu met with his agent at London Colney at the start of the year.
The Belgian, who Leicester will seek to cash in on this summer due to his expiring contract in 2023, was seemingly open to a move to Arsenal, with Tottenham also among the contenders for his signature.
Yet the absence of Champions League football could now prove to be a sticking point during negotiations - particularly given Tielemans has snubbed a new deal at Leicester to play in the competition.
Much like Jesus, the deal is still within reach but both transfers were on the right track before the back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Newcastle, which have threatened to leave a stain on Arsenal's season.
For that reason, Arteta and Edu will feel incensed by the nature of the team's feeble performance, which could effectively see their season amount to nothing. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1611484/Arsenal-news-Newcastle-defeat-transfer-news-Gabriel-Jesus-Youri-Tielemans | 2022-05-17T08:46:51Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1611484/Arsenal-news-Newcastle-defeat-transfer-news-Gabriel-Jesus-Youri-Tielemans | true | 1 |
Gas prices reach new record high
The record high comes shortly after the Biden administration announced the cancelation of a massive oil and gas lease in Alaska
Average gas prices in the U.S. reached a new record high Tuesday, according to AAA's gas price calculator.
The national average cost of a regular gallon of gasoline hit $4.523 early Tuesday morning. This topped Monday's record of $4.483, which in turn had beat Sunday's record of $4.470.
The price comes as the European Union edges toward oil sanctions on Russia amid the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine. It also comes amid record-high inflation, with the consumer price index reaching 8.3% in April, hovering near March's 40-year high.
The White House has blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the record-high gas prices in the U.S., even coining the surge as the "#PutinPriceHike" and vowing that President Biden will do everything he can to shield Americans from "pain at the pump."
BIDEN ADMIN CANCELS MASSIVE OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE AMID RECORD-HIGH GAS PRICES
Biden, last month, announced that the Environmental Protection Agency will allow the sale of E15 gasoline – gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend – across the country this summer. Biden has also moved to release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next 6 months. The president is also calling on Congress to make companies pay fees on idled oil wells and non-producing acres of federal lands, aiming to incentivize new production.
Yet critics have claimed that Biden's actions on energy policy have created a "supply problem" in the market.
Within his first week in office, Biden signed an executive order temporarily suspending new oil and gas leases on federal lands. The administration resumed the new leasing last month following court challenges against the ban. The administration is appealing a ruling in which Judge James Cain, a Trump appointee, struck down the ban.
The Department of the Interior canceled an oil and gas lease sale for over 1 million acres in Alaska's Cook Inlet last week, amid record gas prices. The DOI cited "lack of industry interest," but Steve Milloy, a former Trump-Pence EPA transition member and founder of JunkScience.com, blamed the president.

"I blame Biden for all lack of production. He has scared away investment," Milloy told FOX Business last week. He suggested that the president will find "any excuse to not drill. They even tried to use the social cost of carbon decision to stop leasing." | https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/gas-prices-reach-new-record-high | 2022-05-17T08:48:34Z | https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/gas-prices-reach-new-record-high | false | 2 |
Shalulile, Tinkler named the best of PSL for April
Duo credits everyone from their clubs
Mamelodi Sundowns talisman Peter Shalulile has been left overwhelmed by winning DStv Premiership Player of the Month for April, dedicating the gong to everyone associated with the Brazilians.
Yesterday, the league confirmed Shalulile as last month's best player, while Cape Town City mentor Eric Tinkler clinched the Coach of the Month gong. Kaizer Chiefs star Keagan Dolly's free-kick in their 3-1 victory over Chippa United early last month was voted as April's Goal of the Month.
Shalulile, who's the league's top-scorer with 22 goals, impressively managed back-to-back hat-tricks in Sundowns' victories over Swallows FC and Golden Arrows in April. The Namibia star thanked everyone linked to Sundowns for helping him win the award. Shalulile was pitted against City duo of goalkeeper Hugo Marquez and utility winger Craig Martin, alongside Royal AM striker Victor Letsoalo.
"It's a great feeling. It's overwhelming to receive such an award. Everyone put in the hard work in this... from the technical team to the players, the staff, the ground people and the fans. I am happy and hoping for many more awards,'' said Shalulile yesterday.
Tinkler also credited his players and backroom staff for the Coach of the Month accolade. Tinkler inspired City to three victories and two draws in five April matches as City surged up to second position on the log. Their brilliant run in April gave them a strong chance of securing a CAF Champions League spot for the first time in the club’s short history.
"I am elated to have been awarded this award but it's not about me to be honest. It's about how we've responded in the second half of the season. Everybody deserves the accolade not only myself. It starts with the players, how they responded in the second half of the season,'' said Tinkler, who beat Sundowns duo Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena alongside Royal's John Maduka to the accolade.

Rights watchdog urges human dignity, basic rights be guaranteed in AI development
SEOUL, May 17 (Yonhap) -- The state rights watchdog on Tuesday issued a set of guidelines recommending government institutions ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) is developed in a way that does not infringe upon human dignity and basic human rights.
The guidelines from the National Human Rights Commission recommend that the prime minister and state agencies come up with legislation and policies to ensure AI developers comply with the guidelines.
"The advance of AI technology is influencing all aspects of society, but people being influenced are not given a chance to present their opinions or participate in the process of introducing or operating AI or other decision making processes," the commission said.
The commission said it expects the guidelines to serve as an opportunity to protect human rights values throughout the processes of developing and utilizing AI technology.

Elon Musk: Doubt about spam accounts could scuttle Twitter deal
LONDON (AP) - Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his deal to buy Twitter can’t move forward unless the company shows public proof that less than 5% of the accounts on the platform are fake or spam.
Musk made the comment in a reply to another user on Twitter early Tuesday. He spent much of the previous day in a back-and-forth with Twitter CEO Paraj Agrawal, who posted a series of tweets explaining his company’s effort to fight bots and how it has consistently estimated that less than 5% of Twitter accounts are fake.
In his tweet Tuesday, Musk said: “20% fake/spam accounts, while 4 times what Twitter claims, could be much higher. My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate.”
He added that: “Yesterday, Twitter’s CEO publicly refused to show proof of 5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does.”
At a Miami technology conference Monday, Musk estimated that at least 20% of Twitter’s 229 million accounts are spam bots, a percentage he said was at the low end of his assessment, according to a Bloomberg News report.
Also at the All In Summit, Musk gave the strongest hint yet that he would like to pay less for Twitter than his $44 billion offer made last month.
He said a viable deal at a lower price would not be out of the question, according to the report by Bloomberg, which said it viewed a livestream video of the conference posted by a Twitter user.

Dana White told to make Khabib Nurmagomedov come out of UFC retirement for title shot
The Russian retired unbeaten in 2020 after retaining the UFC lightweight title
UFC president Dana White has been told he should do all he can to persuade Khabib Nurmagomedov to come out of retirement to fight Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title.
Khabib retired unbeaten in 2020, moments after retaining the UFC lightweight belt by submitting Justin Gaethje.
Earlier this month, Oliveira also submitted Gaethje in what was supposed to be a title defence at 155lbs for the Brazilian. However, Oliveira missed weight a day before the fight and was thus stripped of the gold. His victory over Gaethje therefore saw him installed as No 1 contender for the now-vacant title.
Oliveira could go up against Islam Makhachev – a childhood friend and mentee of fellow Dagestani Khabib – later this year with the belt on the line, but UFC newcomer Natan Levy has suggested that Nurmagomedov himself should take on Oliveira.
“If I was a matchmaker, I’d make Khabib come back from retirement to fight Charles,” Levy told Freak MMA.
Oliveira’s victory over Gaethje extended his win streak to 11, while Makhachev, who fights with Khabib in his corner, is on a 10-fight winning run since suffering the only loss of his professional career.
Oliveira holds the records for most finishes and most submission wins in UFC history.

Investing in equity markets has become really easy with several investment apps providing user-friendly features. The apps have also integrated with the several digital payment options making the overall investing process a really easy one.
Gone are the days when investors had to visit brokers and fill several forms to make an investment in the stock market. Today, investors manage their entire investment cycle via a few clicks/swipes over their mobile phones. As investors enjoy this seamless experience, it is only proper to know how this entire system came about at the first place.
The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, is one leading depository organisation which is credited behind this change.
The NSDL was established in December 1995. The idea behind establishing the NSDL is mentioned in SEBI’s Annual Report 1993-94. The report states that “the increasing volumes on Indian stock exchanges have resulted in enormous paper work”. A task force was established to reduce this paper work, and it suggested that by establishing depositories paper work could be reduced.
Depositories are specialised organisations that hold a person’s securities such as shares, bonds, etc. in electronic form, and transfers these securities across persons without human intervention. SEBI’s frequently asked questions compares depositories to banks. Banks transfer money electronically, and depositories do the same for securities. Just as banks safeguard customer deposits, depositories safeguard investor securities. Just as banks have agents, depositories have agents named depository participants (DPs) who “interfaces with the investor and provides depository services”.
How does the system work?
The investors open a depository account with one of the designated DPs. The securities bought and sold by the investors are recorded in the depository account without the need physically exchange share certificates. With DPs, the physical share certificates had to be converted into electronic versions via a process named as dematerialisation. These electronic securities are also called dematerialised securities, and that’s why the depository account is also called a demat account.
The first depository permitted by SEBI was the NSDL in 1995, followed by the Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) in 1999. While the NSDL was promoted by the National Stock Exchange, the CDSL was promoted by the Bombay Stock Exchange. While the NSDL has 282 DPs associated with it, the CDSL has 631 DPs registered with it. SEBI has termed these depositories and DPs as Market Infrastructure Institutions.
The first demat transaction at the NSE was done in December 1996. The demat concept was an instant hit. The value of demat transactions at the NSDL touched $1 billion in December 1997. By March 1998, the value of demat transactions crossed $5 billion, and touched $1 trillion in 2007. In 1998, the number of demat accounts was 100,000; this crossed 2.5 million by May 2000.
Apart from depository services, the NSDL launched other services as well. It started offering PAN card services and online tax accounting system in 2004, and it launched online uploading of central excise challan data in 2005. In 2007, the NSDL joined the mobile revolution and started a facility for delivery of shares using mobile phones. In 2011, it was appointed as registrar of the Unique Identification System which led to the Aadhaar card.
In 2015, the NSDL diversified into banking services. The RBI awarded the NSDL a licence to open a payment banks along with 10 other players. In 2018, the NSDL started the payment bank and offered digital loan against shares facility for bank DPs.
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant rise in retail interest in the stock market, leading to a sharp rise in the number of demat accounts. In 2021-22, the number of demat accounts on the NSDL rose to 26.8 million. The years 2021-22 saw a rise of 30 percent in number of demat accounts compared to an average growth of 6-7 percent in the previous decade. As of October 2021, the number of demat accounts was at 73.8 million.
In 2022, the NSDL has joined the new-age world of decentralised blockchain-based ledger system. It has launched a blockchain-based market platform to manage and monitor the security and covenant related to issuance of bonds. The new system will use cryptography to sign and stamp the securities. In the decentralised system, one can follow the audit trail of transactions — this will uphold transparency and strengthen the confidence in the market.
At its 25th anniversary function held on May 7, SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch inaugurated the new blockchain-based system. She said, “Going forward, today will also be remembered as an important day as we are taking the first step in terms of use of distributed ledger technology in the market technology in the market”. In the same function, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the ‘Market Eklavya” — an investor awareness programme for students in various Indian languages.
To sum up, the NSDL has played a stellar role in shepherding development in India’s capital markets. While digitalisation and apps are the buzzword today, it was the NSDL’s dematerialisation of physical securities which kick-started the whole process 25 years ago. The next 25 years of the NSDL will be as exciting and challenging as only 7 percent of India’s 1.36 billion population have demat accounts, or invest in equities. As India grows and digitalises, it is likely that households will pour more of their savings into the equity markets which will keep the NSDL in the thick of action.

Payments for extra fuel allowance have commenced issuing this week.
Over 371,000 households are set to benefit from the €100 payment - equivalent to over 3 weeks of Fuel Allowance - which commenced yesterday May 16.
The government approved the additional lump sum payment of €100 to be paid to all households in receipt of Fuel Allowance from the Department of Social Protection, the total cost of which amounts to €37.1 million.
The Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys, said, "The Government is deeply conscious of the impact of rising energy costs on households across the country. That’s why we are providing this additional support today.
"We know that the cost of living is a big concern for people, particularly our elderly and most vulnerable. I know that this additional support will alleviate the concerns of many families dealing with these rising costs on households.
"The €5 increase in the weekly payment introduced as part of the Budget last October and the €125 lump sum payment provided earlier this year, together with the €100 extra payment means that low-income households will now see an overall increase of 55% in Fuel Allowance support provided during the most recent Fuel Allowance season as compared to the previous season."
According to the minister, people who may be depending on a social welfare payment each week (or who may be working and on low incomes) may qualify for an Exceptional or Urgent Needs payment to help with heating needs.
She continued: "I also want to remind people receiving a weekly social welfare payment and also people who are working and on a low income that, under my Department’s Supplementary Welfare Allowance scheme, Exceptional and Urgent Needs Payments may be made to help them meet an essential, once-off cost which they are unable to meet out of their own resources and this may include exceptional heating costs."
Applying is not necessary to receive the €100 payment, which will be automatically paid this week.

May's busy primary calendar continues Tuesday, with five states holding elections.
Primaries for open U.S. Senate seats in Pennsylvania and North Carolina headline Tuesday's races. Both battleground states present Democrats with opportunities to pick up a Senate seat as they try to maintain narrow control of the chamber.
Idaho, Oregon and Kentucky also have notable contests. Here are 10 races to watch:
1. Pennsylvania Senate
Thanks to the retirement of Republican Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania has an open Senate seat for the first time in a dozen years. And this race has had more than its share of plot twists — including two Donald Trump endorsements over the past nine months.
On the Republican side, after Trump's first preferred choice dropped out amid domestic abuse allegations, two new, high-profile candidates entered the primary: Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, who had served in the George W. Bush administration and who's married to a former top adviser to Trump.
McCormick and Oz worked hard to win Trump's endorsement. Oz won out, giving his campaign a boost, but that didn't stop McCormick from running ads featuring Trump praising the candidate. For months, polling has had the two jockeying for the top spot in the race, with Oz holding a very small lead since getting the nod from Trump.
But now, in the final weeks of the race, another candidate has surged into the top tier. Kathy Barnette — a Black GOP activist and author best known for her appearances as a commentator on Fox News — has done it by proclaiming to be more MAGA than even Trump, and despite having just a fraction of the money to spend that the very wealthy McCormick and Oz have. Her rise has surprised political analysts, who suggest she may be benefitting from conservative discontent with Trump's choice of Dr. Oz.
For Democrats, the primary features a matchup between Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a former small-town mayor who backed Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential run, and Rep. Conor Lamb. The 6-foot-9 Fetterman has the persona of an authentic anti-politician, while Lamb has a reputation as a moderate who can win votes in places where Democrats have struggled in recent elections.
Also in the race is state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, who is looking to become the first ever LGBTQ candidate elected to statewide office in Pennsylvania.
Despite expectations of a close contest, polls have consistently given Fetterman a lead of more than 20 points, with Lamb a distant second and Kenyatta even further back. (Fetterman suffered a stroke in recent days but said it wouldn't derail his campaign.)
2. North Carolina Senate
This Senate seat is open thanks to another GOP retirement: Sen. Richard Burr, who announced in 2016 he would not seek another term. Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump briefly considered a Senate run in her native state, but decided not to pursue it. Nevertheless, the former president weighed in early, backing Rep. Ted Budd last June.
Helped by outside money, Budd has emerged ahead of Pat McCrory, a former North Carolina governor who gained national prominence when he signed the state's "bathroom bill" which targeted trans people and required people to choose bathrooms based on the sex listed on their birth certificate.
Whoever wins on the GOP side will likely face Cheri Beasley, who was the first Black woman to serve as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
3. Pennsylvania Governor
Just days before the primary, Trump endorsed Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano to be governor. Mastriano has peddled Trump's election lies, and was present near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (He says he left as the event became violent.) Republicans have been fractured, with many concerned that Mastriano can't win statewide in November. Some other candidates in what started as a crowded field dropped out and have endorsed former Rep. Lou Barletta, but Mastriano's lead in polls and Trump's endorsement place him as the likely winner Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, the presumptive Democratic nominee is state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who is already running against Mastriano's extremist messaging.
4. Idaho Governor
In Idaho, Republican Gov. Brad Little is facing a challenge from his Trump-backed lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin. McGeachin is a former state legislator who battled with Little over COVID-19 restrictions.
Polling and fundraising show Little in the lead, but the primary puts McGeachin's ties to the far right on display in one of the most conservative states in the country.
5. North Carolina's 11th Congressional District
GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn faces a crowded field of primary challengers in a district that's likely going to remain red in November. Cawthorn, who has Trump's support, has been involved in several scandals that have raised skepticism as to whether he can keep his seat.
In North Carolina, a winner needs to cross a 30% threshold to avoid a runoff.
6. North Carolina's 4th Congressional District
There are a several notable primaries Tuesday that show divides within the Democratic Party.
In North Carolina, the 4th District, which encompasses the blue cities Durham and Chapel Hill, is open after longtime Rep. David Price announced his retirement.
And it's become an expensive contest, with candidates like state Sen. Valerie Foushee, who is more moderate, and Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam, who has received endorsements from Vermont Sen. Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Abortion has risen as an issue after the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion on Roe v. Wade. Allam, who's 28, has been open about her own abortion story.
Former American Idol star Clay Aiken is also in the race.
7. Oregon's 6th Congressional District
Nine Democratic candidates are in the primary race for a new district in Oregon that has become the third most-expensive House Democratic primary in the country. Candidate Carrick Flynn has been drawing questions for funding he's getting from a political action committee backed by a cryptocurrency billionaire.
8. Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth, who chairs the powerful House Budget Committee, is retiring from his seat, leaving seven Republican candidates and two Democrats trying to replace him. The district is expected to remain safely blue.
9. Oregon's 5th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader is facing a progressive challenge from Jamie McLeod-Skinner, in a district that was recently redrawn and is considered a potential pickup opportunity for Republicans. Schrader is backed by President Biden.
10. Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District
It could also be a tight race in November between whoever wins the Republican primary Tuesday night and incumbent Democratic Rep. Susan Wild. Former Lehigh County Commissioner Lisa Scheller, who nearly won in 2020 against Wild, appears to be in the lead but faces opposition from business owner Kevin Dellicker.

What are the best garden gnomes?
Garden gnomes are an excellent way to add flair to your garden, yard, home or office. Still, traditional gnomes may not fit your personality. Luckily, there are numerous zany gnomes. Funny garden gnomes are ideal for those who like to laugh, but there are a few things worth considering before buying one.
What to consider before buying a funny garden gnome
Garden gnome materials
- Resin: Most wacky gnomes are made with resin. Resin stands up to inclement weather, although it may shatter if dropped. It is heavier than wood but lighter than materials such as concrete.
- Wood: Wood is lightweight and gives your garden a rustic look. Still, wood doesn’t last as long as other materials.
- Ceramic: This is a popular garden gnome material, although it is susceptible to wear and tear. Ceramic easily breaks if dropped.
- Stone: This material is more common in traditional gnomes, although there may be a few funny stone gnomes. Stone is sturdy and stands up to inclement weather. Still, it is heavy compared to other materials.
Garden gnome styles
- Animal-themed: Many feature gnomes riding and interacting with animals. Some gnomes sit atop dogs and cats, while others get eaten by them. The gnomes sometimes interact with dinosaurs, Bigfoot and other exciting creatures.
- Relaxation-themed: Some gnomes embody life after retirement or during vacation. Many can be seen napping, swimming or having a drink.
- Holiday-themed: In some cases, they are meant to be displayed during a specific time of year. Many holiday-themed gnomes feature accessories you can change to fit the season.
- TV-themed: Many feature elements of popular television shows and movies. These are ideal for self-described geeks and fans of the shows.
Garden gnome sizes
Many gnomes stand around 10-12 inches tall. Some are compact and come in sets, and others stand much taller. Large gnomes may steal attention away from your garden, while smaller ones can be hard to see.
Funny garden gnome FAQ
What does a garden gnome represent?
A. Garden gnomes are meant to provide good luck and protection for your home and garden. Over time, they’ve evolved to be more decorative, funny and interesting.
Can cracked garden gnomes be repaired?
A. It depends on the crack’s size and the gnome’s material. Resin gnomes are generally easy to fix, since you can simply fill the gap with a resin epoxy glue and touch up the paint. Still, it may be easier to replace the gnome in many cases.
How much do garden gnomes weigh?
A. It depends on the statue’s material. Stone gnomes are often heavy, although funny stone gnomes aren’t common. Those made of resin usually weigh between 1-3 pounds, depending on their size.

Town of Hanover to design first master plan since 2003
The sustainability master plan will tackle long-term challenges and goals for the town’s growth.
For the first time since 2003, the town of Hanover is designing a sustainability master plan to guide the town’s vision for growth in the future, according to the master plan website. The website outlines some topics that the plan will address, including housing, local economic development, energy use and transportation. The master plan team is composed of consultants, town staff and an advisory committee made up of volunteers.
The plan is expected to be completed by January 2023. According to senior planner Vicki Smith, one reason for the delay of about eight years in creating a new master plan is that the master plan team was occupied with the number of building projects going on in Hanover at the time. Smith added that the pandemic also initially made soliciting input from residents difficult.
The board could not have anticipated how an unforeseen event like the pandemic would have affected public health and socializing within the community, Smith said.
According to the master plan’s website, the plan process consists of five steps: identify opportunities and challenges, set the community vision & goals, prepare recommendations, develop the implementation plan, and tracking & continuous improvement.As part of the first step,the master plan team will host a development solutions workshop at the RWB Community Center on May 21 that will be open to all Hanover residents, including students. The workshop seeks to engage with the public to formulate various solutions and encourage participation, director of planning, zoning and codes Robert Houseman said.
Last October, the board conducted small focus groups that included housing experts, Dartmouth-affiliated individuals, downtown business owners and faith-based groups as a way of gauging public opinion. From that focus group and another forum held on April 2 with 133 participants, the board developed survey questions and sent out a survey to Dartmouth students and community members. Based on the 149 survey responses collected a week ago from students and community members in Novack Cafe, Houseman said that housing proved a “top priority” for both groups.
According to Smith, the pandemic added pressure to the town’s housing market due to people leaving urban areas for rural areas like Hanover, which was further compounded by demand for housing from students who could not be accommodated on campus.
“The pandemic underscored how desperate [Hanover is] for housing,” Smith said.
Eric Hryniewicz ’23, who is a student volunteer on the advisory committee, also recognized the pandemic’s effects on housing in Hanover. Hryniewicz said that with more remote work opportunities, urban residents may move to Hanover and work remotely, which may result in the cost of living in Hanover increasing.
“We have to make sure affordable housing is provided for both students and for non-students in town, but it’s hard because people are competing for the same housing stock,” Hryniewicz said.
Houseman said that one way the town could address the need for housing would be to allow for mixed housing — which combines businesses as well as residential spaces — on the third and fourth floors of downtown buildings. Some single-family homes could also be incentivized to be converted into duplexes, Houseman added.
The recent passage of Article 11 at the town meeting on May 10 will also allow for high-density residential and commercial use along West Wheelock Street, potentially alleviating housing pressures for students and Hanover residents.
Hryniewicz noted that Hanover residents have differing opinions on affordable housing.
“Some people are the classic ‘not-in-my-backyard’ types,” Hryniewicz said. “I saw one specific comment about affordable housing letting in the ‘riff raff.’ I think a lot of people do genuinely care. I saw comments that said ‘call me a ‘yes-in-my-backyarder,’ because I'd love to have affordable housing near my house.’”
In addition to housing, Hryniewicz said that some survey respondents would like Advance Transit to run on weekends and there are considerations being made in the master plan to see how to make that possible.
According to Houseman, another issue commonly brought up from the surveys was downtown development. He said that the pandemic showed how “fragile” Hanover’s downtown economy is without Dartmouth students. Currently, Hryniewicz said that downtown stores primarily serve the wealthy parents of students and not the students or residents of Hanover.
“There needs to be a more robust, vibrant downtown that meets the needs of the broader community,” Houseman said.
The next step in the master planning process is to set the community vision and goals, a phase which will begin after the community workshop on May 21. At this phase, Smith said that a vision statement will be drafted based on public engagement.
“Growth will happen, whether it’s planned or not,” Houseman said. “The goal here is to identify our natural resources, protect them, address where we need active and passive recreational opportunities, and then figure out how we balance those needs against development pressures.” | https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2022/05/town-of-hanover-to-design-first-master-plan-since-2003 | 2022-05-17T09:59:58Z | https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2022/05/town-of-hanover-to-design-first-master-plan-since-2003 | false | 1 |
Hero Electric on Tuesday said it has partnered with digital consumer lending platform
RevFin to provide loans to EV riders across India.
With delivery and e-commerce segments growing exponentially, Hero Electric aims to support and steer the
EV transition through partnerships to strengthen the B2B segment, Hero Electric CEO
Sohinder Gill said.
"This partnership will enable us to provide interested customers with the flexibility to purchase an electric two-wheeler in easy monthly instalments while riding clean mobility. It further enables us to explore different channels to lease and supply our scooters and contribute towards a carbon-free future with EVs," he added.
Commenting on the partnership,
RevFin Founder Sameer Agarwal said, “Commercial two-wheeler adoption is still low in India, where finance is one of the largest challenges. Through this association, we expect to change this trend and
power the government's plans to increase electric mobility penetration in the country."
The partnership aims to create better opportunities for riders who intend to use electric two-wheelers (e2Ws) for commercial purposes like e-commerce deliveries, ride-sharing, Hero Electric said.
The partners have inked an agreement to jointly finance 2.5 lakh leased e2Ws over the next three years and collaborate with multiple e-commerce, logistics, and fleet operations companies to fulfill the objective, the statement said.
Hero Electric has over 750 sales and service outlets spread across the country, while RevFin has presence in 18 states, including UP, Bihar, UK, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/power/hero-electric-ties-up-with-revfin-to-provide-loans-to-ev-riders/91613974 | 2022-05-17T10:00:28Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/power/hero-electric-ties-up-with-revfin-to-provide-loans-to-ev-riders/91613974 | false | 8 |
Ukraine mounts effort to rescue last fighters at steel mill
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Efforts were underway Tuesday to rescue the last of the defenders inside the Azovstal steel plant in the ruined city of Mariupol after Ukrainian officials said the fighters had “completed their mission” and there was no way to free the plant by military means.
The Ukrainian military avoided using the term “surrender” to describe the effort to pull out of the steel plant to save as many lives as possible. Officials planned to keep trying to save an unknown number of fighters who stayed behind. It was unclear if soldiers evacuated to Russian-controlled areas would be considered prisoners of war.
Ukraine’s deputy defense minister said more than 260 fighters, including some badly wounded, were evacuated from the plant Monday and taken to areas under Russia’s control.
“The work to bring the guys home continues, and it requires delicacy and time,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He said the evacuation to separatist-controlled territory was done to save the fighters who endured weeks of Russian assaults in the maze of underground passages below the plant.
“Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes to be alive. It’s our principle,” he said.
Russian forces were pounding 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.
Ukraine made a symbolic gain when its forces reportedly pushed Russian troops back to the Russian border in the Kharkiv region. Video showed Ukrainian soldiers carrying a post that resembled a Ukrainian blue-and-yellow-striped border marker and then posing next to it.
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.
Zelenskyy thanked the soldiers, saying in a video message: “I’m very grateful to all the fighters like you.”
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. Another 211 fighters were evacuated to Olenivka through a humanitarian corridor. She said an exchange would be worked out for their return home.
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.
After nightfall Monday, several buses pulled away from the steel mill accompanied by Russian military vehicles. Maliar confirmed the evacuation had taken place.
She 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,” Maliar said.
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 ended 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 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.
In another setback for Moscow, Sweden’s decided to seek NATO membership following a similar decision by neighboring Finland. That is a historic shift for the countries, which have been nonaligned for generations.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said her country would be in a “vulnerable position” during the application period. She 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.

Recent Development
Regulatory Update
On May 7, 2022, the PRC government issued the Opinion on Live Streaming Virtual Gifting and Enhancing the Protection of Minors (the "Opinion"). The Opinion stipulates that internet platforms shall, among other restrictions, (i) within one month of the publication of the Opinion terminate all billboard functions that rank users or broadcasters by the volume of virtual gifts that they send or receive, respectively, (ii) restrict certain interaction and engagement functions between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. every day, and (iii) prohibit minors from purchasing virtual gifts.
The Company will continue to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in providing live streaming services, including the Opinion. The Company is carefully considering the provisions of the Opinion and assessing their implications for the Company's business. The Company expects the Opinion, and the compliance measures to be taken, will have a negative impact on the live streaming services of the market participants of the industry, including that of the Company, which in turn may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and prospect. The Company will proactively seek guidance from and cooperate with government authorities in connection with its efforts to comply with the Opinion and any related implementation rules. There is no assurance that the measures that the Company takes will be effective or the implementation of the Opinion would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business operations and financial results in the coming quarters.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and the detailed notes have not been presented. Huya uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc., non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary shares, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses allocated in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is operating income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc. is net income (loss) attributable to HUYA Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain on fair value change of investments, net of income taxes. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and gain on fair value change of investments, net of income taxes. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ADS used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per ADS. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) gain on fair value change of investments, net of income taxes add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business, and (ii) gain on fair value change of investments, net of income taxes, which may recur when there is observable price change in the future. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "HUYA Inc. Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this announcement.

Alexandra Hunt is hoping to unseat establishment Democrat Rep. Dwight Evans for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District during Tuesday's primary.
In a lot of ways, Hunt is a traditional progressive candidate. She's well-educated and has a background working in public health. She's also running on the main pillars of the progressive platform — like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All.
In other ways, she's a bit unusual for someone running for Congress.
She's spoken publicly about her brief time as a stripper in college to make ends meet. And most recently, she fired up an OnlyFans, a site where some people make money off of posting naked pictures. According to the Daily Mail, the account itself just features posts about Hunt's campaign.
At times, Hunt's unexpected background has grabbed negative publicity.
She said sexist coverage by the New York Post and Fox News has unfairly spotlighted her history as a stripper. It's coverage that she feels has overshadowed her other qualifications.
"My name has been erased and I'm 'The Former Stripper,'" she said.
In a conversation with NPR, Hunt said she's worked in public health for years and is so much more than her past.
Jennifer Lawless, politics professor at the University of Virginia, said Hunt's campaign represents how far American society and politics has gone.
"Ten years ago or 20 years ago she couldn't have even run" because of societal beliefs and pressure, Lawless said.
She added: "It's progress in and of itself that somebody with that background feels confident and qualified to run for office. I think that demonstrates some degree of progress."
Hunt fights back against the trolls
Starting the OnlyFans account was an attempt to hit back at an online troll who said they were looking forward to when Hunt loses and she starts an OnlyFans, she said.
"So I made an OnlyFans to push back on that troll, but also to push back on the stigma that this is a thing to be ashamed of, this would disqualify me as a candidate or as a politician," she said. "Because it's not and it shouldn't."
She said the account is a way to make money and shows what many people of her generation (millennials) must do to make ends meet.
"Alexandra's OnlyFans is her personal account and she does talk about the campaign as it is a part of her life. She shares her opinions, views, campaign updates, thoughts, memes or other things," Hunt's campaign said in an email. "She has shared photos and videos of herself as well. She has sent out Pay Per View content as well which has raised a significant amount for her."
Lawless notes Hunt has smartly used this as a way to connect to young voters struggling to make money.
But she added: "The risk though ... is that when you tell that story, there are going to be people who frame that story differently."
And Hunt has certainly experienced that.
The New York Post wrote: "Good luck pulling this one off. An ex-stripper from New York left behind her platform shoes for a political platform."
Hunt has faced increased vitriol as the primary neared. She's spoken publicly about having an abortion. That admission, she believes, has prompted cyber attacks on their campaign site and email system. The attacks have crippled their email access, she said.
"It's almost paralyzed our ability to send emails and fundraise," she said.
What the future holds
Lawless said the focus and criticism on Hunt's background is, unfortunately, to be expected for any candidate, Lawless said. That goes for male and female candidates.
"Once you're running for public office, every choice you made is something on which you'll be judged," she said.
Through her research, Lawless has found that in previous congressional races over time, there really isn't much in the way of explicitly sexist coverage, generally.
"When there is gendered coverage, and by that, I mean attention to women's appearances, or women's roles — and this would certainly fall into that category — women and men overall, are equally likely to receive that kind of coverage."
In Hunt's case, the extent her background will actually deter local voters, is probably minimal, Lawless said.
"The media have an incentive to cover what's novel, because what's novel is newsworthy, and this is unusual," Lawless said of Hunt's history. But that attention goes a long way in helping candidates rise above the noise, get their names out, and raise money.
Hunt has tried her best to lean into the trolling and criticism. Her campaign has made tongue-in-cheek T-shirts that read "I may have danced for money but I'm no corporate whore" and "Elect hoes."
She's also continues to use her experiences as a way to connect with voters.
"I think that the campaign demonstrates that candidates can use gender in a way that could ultimately be advantageous, even when the circumstances surrounding that use might not have been what they had intended," Lawless said.
Hunt said she has heard from people, once fearful of what lay in their past, say they were encouraged to run for office by her campaign. Win or lose, Hunt said she hopes her campaign makes a difference.
"I hope that more every day people who have these pieces of their past choose to run and choose to get involved," she said.

Ukraine mounts effort to rescue last fighters at steel mill
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Efforts were underway Tuesday to rescue the last of the defenders inside the Azovstal steel plant in the ruined city of Mariupol after Ukrainian officials said the fighters had “completed their mission” and there was no way to free the plant by military means.
The Ukrainian military avoided using the term “surrender” to describe the effort to pull out of the steel plant to save as many lives as possible. Officials planned to keep trying to save an unknown number of fighters who stayed behind. It was unclear if soldiers evacuated to Russian-controlled areas would be considered prisoners of war.
Ukraine’s deputy defense minister said more than 260 fighters, including some badly wounded, were evacuated from the plant Monday and taken to areas under Russia’s control.
“The work to bring the guys home continues, and it requires delicacy and time,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He said the evacuation to separatist-controlled territory was done to save the fighters who endured weeks of Russian assaults in the maze of underground passages below the plant.
“Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes to be alive. It’s our principle,” he said.
Russian forces were pounding 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.
Ukraine made a symbolic gain when its forces reportedly pushed Russian troops back to the Russian border in the Kharkiv region. Video showed Ukrainian soldiers carrying a post that resembled a Ukrainian blue-and-yellow-striped border marker and then posing next to it.
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.
Zelenskyy thanked the soldiers, saying in a video message: “I’m very grateful to all the fighters like you.”
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. Another 211 fighters were evacuated to Olenivka through a humanitarian corridor. She said an exchange would be worked out for their return home.
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.
After nightfall Monday, several buses pulled away from the steel mill accompanied by Russian military vehicles. Maliar confirmed the evacuation had taken place.
She 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,” Maliar said.
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 ended 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 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.
In another setback for Moscow, Sweden’s decided to seek NATO membership following a similar decision by neighboring Finland. That is a historic shift for the countries, which have been nonaligned for generations.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said her country would be in a “vulnerable position” during the application period. She 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.

But now we have another one to add to the list.
M&S has given their Connie the caterpillar cake a royal makeover, transforming her into a Queen for the occasion.

Available in stores from today, May 17, the duo can be picked up for £10 ahead of the bank holiday celebrations.
The cakes come in the classic caterpillar cake formula – a chocolate sponge roll filled with chocolate buttercream and covered in a thick milk chocolate shell.
And it’s safe to say the announcement has gone down well with fans, as a picture of the edible duo on Instagram has already racked up more than 26,000 likes.
But this isn’t the only Jubilee-themed treat to hit the shelves, there are also some sweet Caramel Corgi Mousse Cakes, priced at £6 from M&S on the Ocado website.
They’re filled with a caramel blond chocolate mousse and salted caramel, on a crisp chocolate wafer base.
We are certain Her Majesty would approve.
But M&S isn’t the only supermarket laying on a novelty cake for the celebration, Morrisons has also brought out its own Corgi cake, named Clarence.
So whether you’re heading to a picnic or hosting a BBQ, these sweet treats will be the perfect addition to your Platinum Jubilee celebration.

Firefighters and the RSPCA WA were called in to rescue Brutus, the mastiff crossbreed, from a Kenwick address in October, but they were unable to save him.

The inspector was unable to get into the property, but after peering over the fence, saw the dilapidated conditions he was living in.
Brutus had a large, raised, open red growth on the side of his face, green pus oozing from his eyes and flies covering his hips and back.
The nine-year-old was lying near a stained mattress, a dirty bowl and a bucket of green water.
RSPCA called local emergency services to help remove the padlocks to rescue Brutus, who was in such desperate need of vet care he was unable to stand. He was taken to Perth Vet Emergency but died later that night.
A postmortem revealed Brutus had a malignant tumour on his face, that would likely have been cured by surgery in the early stages.
Instead, it had spread throughout his body.
‘Absolutely heartbreaking’
RSPCA General Inspector Alison McCristell said the case was “absolutely heartbreaking”.
“It’s never OK not to seek vet treatment for your animal, you can’t let them suffer,” she told 7NEWS.
“Brutus suffered enormously, he should have been taken to a vet.
“If you can’t afford vet care you need to reach out.”
Gerard Alvisse did not appear in Perth Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday when he was found guilty of animal cruelty after failing to take his nine-year-old pet to a vet for treatment.
The 68-year-old offered little explanation when questioned by 7NEWS, saying the court was “completely wrong”.
When asked if he thought it was a cruel act, he said: “the dog was 90 something years old, he was going blind.”
Alvisse will reappear in court next month, as the RSPCA seeks a prohibition order to prevent him from owning any animal - something he plans to fight.
RSPCA WA encouraged the community to report cruelty 24/7 on 1300 CRUELTY or online. | https://7news.com.au/news/animals/dog-owner-fined-for-heartbreaking-cruelty-towards-cancer-stricken-pooch-c-6831391 | 2022-05-17T10:21:16Z | https://7news.com.au/news/animals/dog-owner-fined-for-heartbreaking-cruelty-towards-cancer-stricken-pooch-c-6831391 | false | 1 |
Anthony ‘The Man’ Mundine has made a surprise offer to link up with the Canterbury Bulldogs, while 7NEWS can reveal former Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter could be installed as caretaker.
Just a day after coach Trent Barrett quit the NRL club, outside back Brent Naden has made an immediate switch to the Tigers and looks set to line up against the Dogs on Friday.

Fitness coach Dan Ferris has also left, while former player turned assistant Steve Turner is mysteriously absent from this week’s staff list.
While the Bulldogs still need to lock in an interim coach it also remains unclear where they will turn to find a permanent replacement for Barrett.
Brad Fittler remains coy about his interest in swapping the State of Origin arena for a return to the NRL, more than a decade since finishing up at the Roosters with the wooden spoon.
The NSW Blues coach said on Tuesday he is focused on two jobs, the first being raising funds for Dementia Australia with great mate Royce Simmons.
“The next one is to coach the Blues in a couple of weeks,” he said.
Fittler may not be sure of his future, but a former rival has already put his hand up to help Canterbury.
Mundine is willing to link with the Bulldogs as a coaching consultant.
“The Man’s the man,” he told 7NEWS Sydney.
“I know the game, I’ve been playing since I was four.
“Obviously used to play State of Origin and whatnot, should have played for Australia but that’s another story.”
The former Dragons player turned boxer is convinced he can help Canterbury rediscover the famous ‘Dogs of War’ mentality.
“It’s mindset, that’s something I do bring,” he said.
As for working with Phil Gould?
“I can get along with Gus, he’s all good,” Mundine said.
“I gave him nightmares in the ‘90s but if he doesn’t hold that against me, it’s all good.
“Rub a bit of Mundine flavour into the Gould flavour and we’ve got a championship team.”
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are expected to lose star recruit Matt Burton.
The 22-year-old has an option in his favour for the final year of his two-season deal and would be free to talk to other clubs if he decides to quit the Bulldogs at season’s end.
Fellow newcomers Matt Dufty and Paul Vaughan have been linked with moves to English Super League with neither having a deal on the table from the Bulldogs beyond this season.

CARE11 Cemetery FII rises 35% in May alone and is the fund with the best return in the year; ifix rises
One of the novelties of the current theoretical portfolio of IFIX – an index that gathers the most traded real estate funds on the Stock Exchange –, the Brazilian Graveyard and Death Care (CARE11) has already accumulated a rise of 35% in May and is consolidated as the highest return among the FIIs in 2022
With more than 9,000 shareholders, Brazilian Graveyard is considered the first real estate fund focused on consolidating the cemeteries, tombs and funeral services sector.
Despite not distributing dividends since September 2021, the fund has stood out among the FIIs with the highest returns in recent months. According to a survey by Smartbrain, a financial information platform, the portfolio has the best performance in the year, with an increase of 37.91%.
Source: Smartbrain (data for the period between January and April 2022)
The Smartbrain study evaluates the valuation of shares and the distribution of dividends of 203 FIIs between January and April 2022. With the result of May – an increase of almost 35% – the Brazilian Graveyard consolidates itself as the highest return of the year among the FIIs , achieving gains of almost 80%.
In its portfolio, the fund has 20% of Grupo Cortel, a holding of cemeteries and crematoria, which sells assignments of the right to use temporary and perpetual tombs, cremations, funeral services, funeral plans and animal cremations.
Brazilian Graveyard also holds 52.77% of VHR Empreendimentos, responsible for the cemetery located in the city of Sabará, metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte (MG).
The portfolio also has 2,873 deposits at the Morumby Cemetery, in the upscale neighborhood of Morumbi, in São Paulo (SP).
Last week, B3 – Brazilian Stock Exchange – questioned the recent behavior of the shares of the Brazilian Graveyard, which replied that it did not have any information that could justify the atypical fluctuations of the shares.

After the signing of the new contract, the vacancy rate of the REC Renda Imobiliária portfolio drops from 15.8% to 13.25%.
With a net worth of R$ 791 million, the fund has 12 properties in its portfolio, which together add up to a gross leasable area (GLA) of 92 thousand square meters.
Ourinvest Logística (OULG11) rents a warehouse in Rio de Janeiro and expects an increase of up to 74% in revenues

Real Estate Turnover: IPCA exceeds 12% in twelve months; How much does it cost to invest in FIIs?
IPCA rises 1.06% in April, highest rise for the month since 1996
The Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA), considered the country’s official inflation index, rose 1.06% in April compared to March, show data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) released this Wednesday. (11).
It was the biggest increase for the month since 1996 (1.26%), and the result was driven by food, beverages and transport (mainly gasoline and long-life milk). As a result, the IPCA accumulates an increase of 4.29% in the year and 12.13% in the last 12 months (up from 11.30% in March).
The indicator was slightly above market expectations, as the Refinitiv consensus projected a monthly increase of 1.0% and an annual increase of 12.07%.
But the number came below the March IPCA, which rose 1.62% and was the biggest result for the month since 1994 (and also higher than expected). The IPCA-15, which is a preview of the IPCA, had risen 1.73% in April, the highest rise for the month since 1995 and the highest monthly variation since February 2003.
The main impacts of inflation in April came from food and beverages and transport, and both groups contributed around 80% of the IPCA, according to the IBGE. The food and beverage group had the biggest change (+2.06%) and the biggest impact on the index (0.43 percentage point), followed closely by transport (+1.91% and 0.42 percentage point).
How much does it cost to invest in FIIs? Administration fee varies from 0.25% to 2% per year; check list
The discussion about fees charged by real estate funds is recurrent and has also become an argument for critics of the product. After all, what are the costs of investing in FIIs? In addition to clearing up any myths – that there are many fees, for example – understanding the charges can be part of the investor’s analysis when choosing a real estate fund, experts recommend.
Gabriel Teixeira, real estate fund analyst at Ativa Investimentos, explains that the fees charged by FIIs are part of the product’s dynamics, and are not exclusive to the segment. “There is no way to escape. As with investment funds, we also have FII fees”, he compares.
Among the fees charged by real estate funds, the best known is the administration fee, which can vary between 0.25% and 2% per year, according to data from Economatica, a financial information platform. Check out the top five rates currently:

The data are based on the real estate funds that make up the IFIX – the index of the most traded FIIs on the Stock Exchange – and the percentages that affect the fund’s net worth or the market value of the portfolio, in accordance with the regulations of each FII. Check the complete list of funds and their respective fees at the end of the article.
According to Teixeira, the variation in rate percentages is related to the characteristics and expenses of each real estate fund.

WATCH: Officers wrestle 6-foot alligator near SC school
CHARLESTON, S.C. (CNN) - A 6-foot alligator met its match when animal control officers threw down after it wandered too close for comfort to a South Carolina elementary school.
Animal control officers were called in last Tuesday after the large alligator was spotted wandering near Daniel Island Elementary in Charleston. They showed no fear, leaping onto the reptile’s back to subdue it.
The alligator thrashed about, but the officers held on.
After gaining control, officers safely relocated the sharp-toothed trespasser to a pond up the road.
“Not your everyday arrest! Our team showed no fear and got the job done! You never know what you’ll encounter as an officer!” wrote the police department on Facebook.
Charleston Police say during mating season, daily alligator-related calls are not uncommon.
Just the day before this incident, another alligator led investigators on a slow speed chase down a residential street.

In Buffalo, Biden to confront the racism he’s vowed to fight
WASHINGTON (AP) — When Joe Biden talks about his decision to run against President Donald Trump in 2020, the story always starts with Charlottesville. He says it was the men with torches shouting bigoted slogans that drove him to join what he calls the “battle for the soul of America.”
Now Biden is facing the latest deadly manifestation of hatred after a white supremacist targeted Black people with an assault rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and left 10 people dead, the most lethal racist attack since he took office.
The president and first lady Jill Biden are to visit the city on Tuesday, where their first stop will be a makeshift memorial outside the supermarket. They’re also expected to meet privately with families of the victims, first responders and local officials before the president delivers public remarks.
In a speech at a nearby community center, Biden plans to call for stricter gun laws and urge Americans to reject racism and embrace the nation’s diversity, the White House said.
It’s a message that Biden has delivered several times since he became the first president to specifically address white supremacy in an inaugural speech, calling it “domestic terrorism that we must confront.” However, such beliefs remain an entrenched threat at a time when his administration has been preoccupied with crises involving the pandemic, inflation and the war in Ukraine.
“It’s important for him to show up for the families and the community and express his condolences,” said Derrick Johnson, the president of the NAACP. “But we’re more concerned with preventing this from happening in the future.”
It’s unclear how Biden will try to do that. Proposals for new gun restrictions have routinely been blocked by Republicans. In addition, the racism that was spouted in Charlottesville, Virginia, appears to have only spread.
The White House said the president and first lady will “grieve with the community that lost 10 lives in a senseless and horrific mass shooting.” Three more people were wounded. Nearly all the victims were Black.
Biden was briefed about the shooting by his homeland security adviser, Liz Sherwood-Randall, before he attended church services on Saturday near his family home in Wilmington, Delaware, according to the White House. She called again later to tell him that law enforcement had concluded the attack was racially motivated.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, told a Buffalo radio station that she invited Biden to the city.
“I said, ‘Mr. President, it would be so powerful if you came here,’” Hochul said. “‘This community is in such pain, and to see the president of the United States show them the attention that Buffalo doesn’t always get.’”
On Monday, Biden paid particular tribute to one of the victims, retired police officer Aaron Salter, who was working as a security guard at the store. He said Salter “gave his life trying to save others” by opening fire at the gunman, only to be killed himself.
Payton Gendron, 18, was arrested at the supermarket and charged with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.
Before the shooting, Gendron is reported to have posted online a screed overflowing with racism and antisemitism. The writer of the document described himself as a supporter of Dylan Roof, who killed nine Black parishioners at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, and Brenton Tarrant, who targeted mosques in New Zealand in 2019.
Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Gendron is “someone who has hate in their heart, soul and mind,” and he called the attack on the store “an absolute racist hate crime.”
So far investigators are looking at Gendron’s connection to what’s known as the “great replacement” theory, which baselessly claims white people are being intentionally overrun by other races through immigration or higher birth rates.
The racist ideology is often interwoven with antisemitism, with Jews identified as the culprits. During the 2017 “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, the white supremacists chanted “Jews will not replace us.”
“Many of those dark voices still exist today,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday. “And the president is determined as he was back then . . . to make sure we fight back against those forces of hate and evil and violence.”
In the years since Charlottesville, replacement theory has moved from the online fringe to mainstream right-wing politics. A third of U.S. adults believe there is “a group of people in this country who are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants who agree with their political views,” according to a poll conducted in December by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Tucker Carlson, the prominent Fox News host, accuses Democrats of orchestrating mass migration to consolidate their power.
“The country is being stolen from American citizens,” he said Aug. 23, 2021.
He repeated the same theme a month later, saying that “this policy is called the great replacement, the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from faraway countries.”
Carlson’s show routinely receives the highest ratings in cable news, and he responded to the furor Monday night by accusing liberals of trying to silence their opponents.
“So because a mentally ill teenager murdered strangers, you cannot be allowed to express your political beliefs out loud,” he said.
His commentary reflects how this conspiratorial view of immigration has spread through the Republican Party ahead of this year’s midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress.
Facebook advertisements posted last year by the campaign committee of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said Democrats want a “PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION” by granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. The plan would “overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington.”
Alex DeGrasse, a senior adviser to Stefanik’s campaign, said Monday she “has never advocated for any racist position or made a racist statement.” He criticized “sickening and false reporting” about her advertisements.
Stefanik is the third-ranking leader of the House Republican caucus, replacing Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who angered the party with her denunciations of Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Cheney, in a tweet on Monday, said the caucus’ leadership “has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.”
Replacement theory rhetoric has also rippled through Republican primary campaigns.
“The Democrats want open borders so they can bring in and amnesty tens of millions of illegal aliens — that’s their electoral strategy,” Blake Masters, who’s running in the Republican Senate primary in Arizona, wrote on Twitter hours after the Buffalo shooting. “Not on my watch.”
A spokesperson for Masters did not respond to a request for comment.
Jean-Pierre indicated that the White House would speak more broadly about racism than singling out specific people for criticism.
“Once you get into calling out people’s names, then you get away from that issue,” she said.
Although Biden has not spoken directly about replacement theory, his warnings about racism remain a fixture of his public speeches.
Three days before the Buffalo shooting, at a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago, Biden said, “I really do think we’re still in the battle for the soul of America.”
Biden said he hadn’t planned to run for president in 2020 — he had already fallen short in two previous campaigns, served as vice president and then stepped aside as Hillary Clinton consolidated support for the 2016 race — and was content to spend some time as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
But he said he was disgusted “when those folks came marching out of the fields in Charlottesville, Virginia, carrying torches” and repeating the “same anti-Semitic bile chanted in the streets of everywhere from Nuremberg to Berlin in the early ‘30s.”
And he recalled how Trump responded to questions about the rally, which resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, a young woman who was there to protest the white supremacists.
“He said there are very good people on both sides,” Biden said.
He added, “We can’t let this happen, guys.”
Johnson, the NAACP president, said the country needs to “finally chart a course so we can as a nation begin to address domestic terrorism as we would foreign terrorism — as aggressively as possible.”
He added, “White supremacy and democracy cannot coexist.”

The New Juaben North constituency Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang, who was recently reelected, is expected to resign as he announces to contest the Eastern Regional chairmanship position.
Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang, a relative of Hackman Owusu Agyemang, a founding member of NPP was reelected constituency chairman on April 30, 2022. He has however officially announced on Monday, May 16, 2022, his intention to contest the Regional Chairman position.
According to the constitution of the NPP, he must therefore resign from his current position before filing his nomination form for the regional contest.
The decision has shocked many in the party
Starr News has gathered that, that some bigwigs at the Presidency and in the party are backing the decision of Mr Boateng Agyemang. Incumbent Regional Chairman Kingston Okomeng Kissi was persuaded to withdraw from the race after a survey revealed he was going to lose his reelection bid .
Mr Kissi will however contest for a yet to be made known national position in the party.
Starr News sources also reveal that the Regional Secretary Jeff Konadu who is also contesting the Regional Chairmanship position is being persuaded by the Presidency to withdraw from the race, but he has declined.
Jeff Konadu is tipped to win the Regional Chairmanship slot due to work and human relationships over the years. However, reports say some bigwigs in the party and the Presidency argue that because the Eastern Regional Minister Seth Kwame Acheampong, Eastern regional representative of Council of State Paa Kofi Ansong are all from Kwahu, it will not be a prudent decision for the Jeff Konadu ,also a Kwahu, to become Regional Chairman.
Meanwhile, aspirants for the Regional election are expected to file their nomination forms today Tuesday, May 17, 2022
Michael Oteng Adu, a Second Vice Regional Chairman hopeful is expected to file his nomination forms today.

Debutante Manushi Chhillar has revealed that she got stuck in a sandstorm in the deserts of Rajasthan while shooting for an important scene of her maiden film ‘Prithviraj’ starring Akshay Kumar.
A portion of the big screen spectacle,’ Prithviraj’, has been shot in Jaisalmer, in the middle of the Thar desert. One day, while shooting, the crew had to evacuate urgently because of a mighty sandstorm but Manushi, unfortunately, got stuck in the middle of it.
Manushi recounts: “I was on top of a sand dune and the crew had to shoot me from below. I could see them motioning to me, trying to say something but I couldn’t hear anything. I could see them waving and shouting but the voice didn’t carry and I thought that they were talking about the scene. Suddenly someone from the choreography team just pushed me down, and I literally rolled down the sand dune and they caught hold of me!”
She adds, “It was a little scary when the sandstorm blew over us, with vans shaking and a blackout. I was whisked off to my vanity van and we all took cover! We did resume shooting after some time but it was a strong sand storm!”
‘Prithviraj’ has been directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who is best known for directing the television epic ‘Chanakya’ and the critically acclaimed film ‘Pinjar’.
The film is set to release on June 3 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. | https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/manushi-chhillar-got-stuck-1503072982.html | 2022-05-17T10:40:26Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/manushi-chhillar-got-stuck-1503072982.html | true | 5 |

Inflation and dollar sweep cheap products from shelves
Faced with the small amount of products at R$ 1.99, the brothers Arcolus38, and Rayla Nunes, 33, took the cipher from the name of one of the stores founded by his parents. Now it’s just called Options and Varieties. The other store, Options 1.99, kept the number.
They say that the pandemic dropped by 27% the revenue of the main store, from R$ 1.99, to R$ 220 thousand per month in 2021. The profit plummeted 66% in the year, to R$ 30 thousand per month. With the numbers below expectations, they fired three of the ten employees.
The customer only comes to buy what he already has in mind. It’s hard for him to come here and take something more, like he was before [da pandemia].
Arcolus Nunes, merchant
“Customers complain about the price, and we try to explain that this is the world we are living in. There are many who ask for a discount”, he says. Rayla.
On a day-to-day basis, the brothers changed business strategies. Before, they went to regions like Pari and Rua 25 de Março, two popular retail hubs in São Paulo, almost daily, to buy products from suppliers. Now they only go twice a week.
They also tried to sell food last year, such as rice, beans and pasta, but it didn’t work.
“I started with [meio quilo de] coffee at R$12 and I stopped when it was R$16. The products were selling well, they didn’t run aground, but you can’t compete with supermarkets”, says Arcolus.
With price readjustments, it became routine in the brothers’ stores to change product labels at least once a week. Before the crisis, they did this every two or three months. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/05/11/inflation-and-dollar-sweep-cheap-products-from-shelves/ | 2022-05-17T10:43:54Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/05/11/inflation-and-dollar-sweep-cheap-products-from-shelves/ | true | 1 |
May's busy primary calendar continues Tuesday, with five states holding elections.
Primaries for open U.S. Senate seats in Pennsylvania and North Carolina headline Tuesday's races. Both battleground states present Democrats with opportunities to pick up a Senate seat as they try to maintain narrow control of the chamber.
Idaho, Oregon and Kentucky also have notable contests. Here are 10 races to watch:
1. Pennsylvania Senate
Thanks to the retirement of Republican Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania has an open Senate seat for the first time in a dozen years. And this race has had more than its share of plot twists — including two Donald Trump endorsements over the past nine months.
On the Republican side, after Trump's first preferred choice dropped out amid domestic abuse allegations, two new, high-profile candidates entered the primary: Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, who had served in the George W. Bush administration and who's married to a former top adviser to Trump.
McCormick and Oz worked hard to win Trump's endorsement. Oz won out, giving his campaign a boost, but that didn't stop McCormick from running ads featuring Trump praising the candidate. For months, polling has had the two jockeying for the top spot in the race, with Oz holding a very small lead since getting the nod from Trump.
But now, in the final weeks of the race, another candidate has surged into the top tier. Kathy Barnette — a Black GOP activist and author best known for her appearances as a commentator on Fox News — has done it by proclaiming to be more MAGA than even Trump, and despite having just a fraction of the money to spend that the very wealthy McCormick and Oz have. Her rise has surprised political analysts, who suggest she may be benefitting from conservative discontent with Trump's choice of Dr. Oz.
For Democrats, the primary features a matchup between Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a former small-town mayor who backed Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential run, and Rep. Conor Lamb. The 6-foot-9 Fetterman has the persona of an authentic anti-politician, while Lamb has a reputation as a moderate who can win votes in places where Democrats have struggled in recent elections.
Also in the race is state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, who is looking to become the first ever LGBTQ candidate elected to statewide office in Pennsylvania.
Despite expectations of a close contest, polls have consistently given Fetterman a lead of more than 20 points, with Lamb a distant second and Kenyatta even further back. (Fetterman suffered a stroke in recent days but said it wouldn't derail his campaign.)
2. North Carolina Senate
This Senate seat is open thanks to another GOP retirement: Sen. Richard Burr, who announced in 2016 he would not seek another term. Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump briefly considered a Senate run in her native state, but decided not to pursue it. Nevertheless, the former president weighed in early, backing Rep. Ted Budd last June.
Helped by outside money, Budd has emerged ahead of Pat McCrory, a former North Carolina governor who gained national prominence when he signed the state's "bathroom bill" which targeted trans people and required people to choose bathrooms based on the sex listed on their birth certificate.
Whoever wins on the GOP side will likely face Cheri Beasley, who was the first Black woman to serve as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
3. Pennsylvania Governor
Just days before the primary, Trump endorsed Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano to be governor. Mastriano has peddled Trump's election lies, and was present near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (He says he left as the event became violent.) Republicans have been fractured, with many concerned that Mastriano can't win statewide in November. Some other candidates in what started as a crowded field dropped out and have endorsed former Rep. Lou Barletta, but Mastriano's lead in polls and Trump's endorsement place him as the likely winner Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, the presumptive Democratic nominee is state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who is already running against Mastriano's extremist messaging.
4. Idaho Governor
In Idaho, Republican Gov. Brad Little is facing a challenge from his Trump-backed lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin. McGeachin is a former state legislator who battled with Little over COVID-19 restrictions.
Polling and fundraising show Little in the lead, but the primary puts McGeachin's ties to the far right on display in one of the most conservative states in the country.
5. North Carolina's 11th Congressional District
GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn faces a crowded field of primary challengers in a district that's likely going to remain red in November. Cawthorn, who has Trump's support, has been involved in several scandals that have raised skepticism as to whether he can keep his seat.
In North Carolina, a winner needs to cross a 30% threshold to avoid a runoff.
6. North Carolina's 4th Congressional District
There are a several notable primaries Tuesday that show divides within the Democratic Party.
In North Carolina, the 4th District, which encompasses the blue cities Durham and Chapel Hill, is open after longtime Rep. David Price announced his retirement.
And it's become an expensive contest, with candidates like state Sen. Valerie Foushee, who is more moderate, and Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam, who has received endorsements from Vermont Sen. Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Abortion has risen as an issue after the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion on Roe v. Wade. Allam, who's 28, has been open about her own abortion story.
Former American Idol star Clay Aiken is also in the race.
7. Oregon's 6th Congressional District
Nine Democratic candidates are in the primary race for a new district in Oregon that has become the third most-expensive House Democratic primary in the country. Candidate Carrick Flynn has been drawing questions for funding he's getting from a political action committee backed by a cryptocurrency billionaire.
8. Kentucky's 3rd Congressional District
Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth, who chairs the powerful House Budget Committee, is retiring from his seat, leaving seven Republican candidates and two Democrats trying to replace him. The district is expected to remain safely blue.
9. Oregon's 5th Congressional District
Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader is facing a progressive challenge from Jamie McLeod-Skinner, in a district that was recently redrawn and is considered a potential pickup opportunity for Republicans. Schrader is backed by President Biden.
10. Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District
It could also be a tight race in November between whoever wins the Republican primary Tuesday night and incumbent Democratic Rep. Susan Wild. Former Lehigh County Commissioner Lisa Scheller, who nearly won in 2020 against Wild, appears to be in the lead but faces opposition from business owner Kevin Dellicker.

Amber Heard has denied defecating in Johnny Depp’s bed.
If you have been following the $50 million defamation trial, which stems from the article she wrote in December 2018 in which she claimed she was abused by Depp, Heard was accused of defecating in her then-husband’s bed – an alleged proof of how abusive she was to him.
Now, Heard has denied that the faeces is hers, despite multiple testimonies by people who state that the poop was not a dog’s, and definitely not from a tiny teacup Yorkie dog she had at the time.
“My life was falling apart,” Heard said, per E News. “I was at a crossroads in my life. I was really serious and I had just been attacked on my 30th birthday by my violent husband, with whom I was desperately in love and knew I needed to leave. It was not really a jovial time and I don’t think that’s funny. Period. That’s disgusting.”
She added that she was in a “pranking mood,” blamed the incident on Depp’s dog Boo, who Heard claims would “burrow in the bed” and “had bowel control issues.”
She then added that the tiny dog had just eaten Depp’s weed. | https://olisa.tv/amber-heard-denies-defecating-in-johnny-depps-bed-says-her-tiny-dog-did-it/ | 2022-05-17T10:47:07Z | https://olisa.tv/amber-heard-denies-defecating-in-johnny-depps-bed-says-her-tiny-dog-did-it/ | true | 1 |
The Cabinet approved a ¥2.7 trillion draft extra budget for fiscal 2022 on Tuesday, to ease the pain of surging energy, food and other prices stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Once it clears parliament, the supplementary budget for the fiscal year that started in April will be used to finance part of a ¥6.2 trillion relief package compiled in late April.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's ruling party on Tuesday defeated a move in Parliament to urgently debate a motion censuring President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the nation's worst economic crisis, which the prime minister said has left enough gasoline stocks for only a day.
It's unclear when the motion will be taken up again.
It doesn't legally bound Rajapaksa to quit, but his refusal to do so has already roiled Sri Lanka, which is on the brink of bankruptcy as it negotiates with other countries and institutions an economic lifeline to be able to import basic supplies, medicines and fuel.
M.A Sumanthiran, a lawmaker from the opposition Tamil National Alliance, proposed that Parliament bypass the usual procedure to take up the motion against Rajapaksa urgently. But the ruling party defeated the motion with a 119-68 vote.
Protesters have occupied the entrance to the president's office for more than a month calling for Rajapaksa's resignation. Months of anti-government rallies have led to the near-dismantling of the once powerful ruling family with the president's one brother resigning as prime minister, and other siblings and a nephew leaving their Cabinet posts.
Protesters accuse the Rajapaksas of triggering the crisis through corruption and misrule.
On Monday evening, the new prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, offered a somber assessment of the country's dire situation. He said that about $75 billion is needed urgently to help provide the nation with essential items, but the country’s treasury is struggling to find even $1 billion.
“At the moment, we only have petrol stocks for a single day,” he said in a televised speech.
“The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives," he said. “I have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. Although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying, this is the true situation. For a short period, our future will be even more difficult than the tough times that we have passed.”
Attacks on peaceful protests last week sparked countrywide violence that left nine people, including a lawmaker, dead and 200 wounded. Many homes of lawmakers and their supporters were burnt down.
The motion accuses Rajapaksa of being responsible for the economic crisis by introducing untimely tax cuts and prohibiting the use of chemical fertilizers, which resulted in crop failures. It also says that the president mismanaged the COVID-19 pandemic using it for militarization, promotion of non-scientific solutions and making unfavorable deals on vaccines.
Sri Lanka has suspended repayment of about $7 billion in foreign loans due this year out of $25 billion to be repaid by 2026. The country’s total foreign debt is $51 billion. The finance ministry says the country currently has only $25 million in usable foreign reserves.
The foreign currency shortage has limited imports resulting in long lines for milk, fuel, cooking gas and medicines.
Wickremesinghe said Monday that the lack of diesel will be resolved to some extent with shipments from India.
"For over 40 days, three ships with crude oil and furnace oil have been anchored within the maritime zone of Sri Lanka. We are working to obtain dollars in the open market to pay for these shipments,” he said. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Censure-vote-vs-Sri-Lankan-leader-fails-as-crisis-17178095.php | 2022-05-17T10:48:26Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Censure-vote-vs-Sri-Lankan-leader-fails-as-crisis-17178095.php | false | 15 |
Mumba scored the winning goal on his Posh debut in an FA Cup tie against Bristol Rovers at London Road at the beginning of January, but started just seven Championship matches before returining to parent club Norwich City before the final two games of the Championship season.
The full-back found life difficult in a struggling second tier side, but he will treat the spell at Posh as a ‘learning curve.’
Mumba told the Eastern Daily Press: "It’s been a learning curve. That’s what I needed. It’s been a good experience, a lot of highs and lows, but that happens.
"It’s a good way for me to learn and I’ve taken something back with me, so I think it’s going to help me in the long run to come back kicking, get my head down and try to drive again and look to get in the Norwich team
"It could be the smallest thing ever, but you’ve got to know that it will help you in the long run. I believe I’ve learned something big and I’ll always carry the experience with me and use it to drive and look to do well in the future."
Mumba has been training with the Canaries first-team squad since returning to Carrow Road. He last played for Norwich in an EFL Cup defeat at home to LIverpool in September. | https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/no-hard-feelings-from-peterborough-united-loanee-despite-a-disappointing-spell-at-london-road-3696728 | 2022-05-17T10:48:34Z | https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/no-hard-feelings-from-peterborough-united-loanee-despite-a-disappointing-spell-at-london-road-3696728 | true | 1 |

Peacemaker should get spin-off centered on Amanda Waller
According to Variety, actress Viola Davis is in talks with HBO to return to the role of Amanda Waller in a spin-off series of “Peacemaker” (2022). The character played by Davis in the two film versions of “Suicide Squad,” from 2016 and 2021, is the creator and mentor of DC’s team of villains.
Detailed information about the script for the new series or the role of Davis’ character in the plot has yet to be revealed. Despite this, sources revealed to the publication that the show should be based on the appearance made by Amanda Waller at the end of the first season of “Peacemaker”, which is a spin-off of the movie “The Suicide Squad” (2021).
The actress is still expected to be one of the executive producers of the new series, which has yet to start production. Christal Henry, Emmy-winning screenwriter for “Watchmen” (2019), is set to write and produce the show. In addition to them, James Gunn and Peter Safran would be involved in the project as executive producers.
A date for the start of production on the spin-off has not yet been announced. “Pacificador”, available on HBO Max, reached good ratings and still convinced rock fans with its soundtrack very focused on the hard rock of the 1980s.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — The atrocities are rampant: A 25-year-old woman abducted at night from her home, pinned down and raped by a jihadi while another held her baby. Child soldiers pillaging villages and women killed for identifying their attackers, their bodies left on the road.
These are some of the abuses committed in Burkina Faso by Islamic extremists linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group documented in a report released Monday by Human Rights Watch.
As violence intensifies in the war-weakened nation, jihadis are raping and killing civilians and using child soldiers at increasing levels, the international rights group said.
Civilians are also threatened by unlawful killings and enforced disappearances by government security forces and government-allied militias engaged in counterterrorism operations, said the report.
“The pace of attacks and consequent degradation in Burkina Faso is as dramatic as it is worrying. People’s lives are being shattered as the violence intrudes in more and more regions of the country, and threatens neighboring states,” Corinne Dufka, West Africa director for Human Rights Watch told The Associated Press.
Based on interviews with 83 survivors, witnesses and others between September and April, the report records dozens of rapes, hundreds of killings and the destruction of villages including the looting of health centers and destruction of water and telecommunications infrastructure by extremists across the country.
For six years Burkina Faso has struggled to stem the growing jihadi insurgency that has killed thousands and displaced nearly 2 million people. In January, the democratically elected president was ousted by mutinous soldiers who promised to make security a top priority. However, extremist attacks are intensifying and spreading.
Much of the recent violence is taking place in the Center North region where jihadis have pushed people from their homes. Dozens of women there told Human Rights Watch they were brutally raped while gathering firewood, on their way to or from the market or while fleeing attacks on their villages.
One 37-year-old woman described being struck 25 times and being called a fake Muslim before she was raped.
Many women are in need of psychological support but have received no assistance from international aid groups, according to the head of a local women’s group who spoke on condition of anonymity for her safety.
Children, many between the ages of 13 and 15, are also increasingly forced to become fighters, used by jihadis to burn villages, guard captives and rob civilians, especially of cattle, said the report.
Last year AP documented one of the first visible uses of child soldiers in the conflict, during the deadly attack on Solhan village in the Sahel province, where at least 160 people were killed.
Government security forces are also accused of committing abuses while trying to stem the violence. Human Rights Watch documented 42 alleged summary executions and 14 enforced disappearances of civilians and suspected jihadi fighters by state security forces. The majority of the victims were ethnic Fulani, who are generally Muslim and have been increasingly targeted by the military and local defense militias because they are suspected of being affiliated with the Islamist groups, say rights organizations.
Some of the alleged abuses occurred within the context of major counterterrorism operations, said the report. In January, 22 people were allegedly killed and six kidnapped during a government ground and air offensive in Yattakou village in the Sahel’s Seno province, Abdoul Kadry Ousmane the village chief told the AP. The AP cannot independently verify the allegations.
The government didn’t respond to requests for comment by AP. However, in a statement in April responding to allegations that more than 100 civilians were killed by security forces in Oudalan province in the Sahel, the army said it was conducting all missions with a “high awareness of the respect of human rights” and would investigate the incident.
Yet the United Nations says allegations of abuses during security operations are concerning, said Seif Magango, Africa spokesman for the U.N. Human Rights Office.
As the violence on both sides escalates, residents are caught in the middle. In June, Azera Dogon’s 16-year-old son was killed by jihadis while looking for water in her village in the north. She buried him next to the house before fleeing to a makeshift displacement site in Ouahigouya town. Now the mother of 10 wants to return home but says the situation is too unpredictable.
“You hear jihadists are in the north, in the south or other parts and you’re told not to go places,” said Dogon. “It’s becoming very hard … No one knows what’s happening.” | https://www.wrbl.com/news/international/jihadi-abuses-increasing-in-burkina-faso-says-rights-group/ | 2022-05-17T10:58:58Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/international/jihadi-abuses-increasing-in-burkina-faso-says-rights-group/ | true | 32 |

The in-demand 21-year-old winger, still looking to earn his first cap after throwing in his lot with the country where he plays his rugby, is dreaming of getting the chance in his dad's homeland.
The Harlequins flyer, who'd been in demand from England, Australia and Italy - his birthplace and mum's homeland - was on Wednesday named in Eddie Jones' 36-man training squad in the tour build-up.
The squad will train in London for three days from Sunday while beginning preparations for the Twickenham match against the Barbarians on June 19, before the three Tests against the Wallabies, in Perth on July 2, Brisbane on July 9 and Sydney on July 16.
England's Australian coach Jones, who's been an admirer of the young talent who's scored 21 tries for Quins in two seasons, has yet to give him an international debut.
All that could change when a powerful squad travels to Australia where Jones will be protecting a proud and extraordinary record as England coach against his home country, having won all eight of the matches stretching back six years.
Jones has also welcomed back Joe Cokanasiga, Owen Farrell, Manu Tuilagi, Anthony Watson and Jack Willis to the squad following injury.
Exciting teenage London Irish prospect Henry Arundell is a notable inclusion, along with teammate Will Joseph and Leicester Tigers' Jack van Poortlviet. There are 10 uncapped players, including Lynagh, in the squad.
Arundell has set the English Premiership alight with his sensational running skills and the 19-year-old London Irish full-back has been tipped as a bolter to make the 2023 World Cup.
Jones said Arundell reminded him of the former Australian star Matt Giteau.
Saracens prop Mako Vunipola makes a surprise return and is joined by Joe Cokanasiga, Manu Tuilagi, Anthony Watson and Jack Willis, who all missed the Six Nations through injury.
A number of senior players, including Henry Slade, Elliot Daly, Jamie George and Kyle Sinckler, have been omitted but are expected to go to Australia.
"We're going to use this camp as an opportunity to prepare a base game for the Barbarians fixture and for a really important Australia tour," said Jones.
England training squad:
FORWARDS: Alfie Barbeary (Wasps), Jamie Blamire (Newcastle Falcons), Ollie Chessum (Leicester Tigers), Tom Curry (Sale Sharks), Nic Dolly (Leicester Tigers), Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins), Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby), Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers), Joe Heyes (Leicester Tigers), Maro Itoje (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Lewis Ludlam (Northampton Saints), George McGuigan (Newcastle Falcons), Tom Pearson (London Irish), Bevan Rodd (Sale Sharks), Will Stuart (Bath Rugby), Sam Underhill (Bath Rugby), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Jack Willis (Wasps).

Derby County forward Malcolm Ebiowei has posted a message following a major Derby County update by prospective new owner Chris Kirchner.
The American businessman revealed in a statement late on Monday night that he "will be the next owner" of the club after contracts were exchanged between himself and the administrators. There are still some "small bits" to overcome, but the statement is a big step to the Rams exiting administration after eight months.
“I’ve been beyond fortunate and I’ll never forget how lucky I am. I’ve had the opportunity to realize many of my dreams and even a lot of things beyond my dreams. Today is a day I’ll never forget. I’m humbled and excited to share that we’ve exchanged contracts with Quantuma and I will be the next owner of Derby County Football Club,” Kirchner wrote.

“These contracts are conditional on the sale of the stadium and some small bits. I don’t anticipate any issues completing the rest of this process in the coming days. I’ll begin funding the club next week.”
The club’s administrators Quantuma also released a statement revealing that ‘signinficant progress’ has been made on the sale of the club. Kirchner was granted a second extension to his period of exclusivity last week with the deadline being Monday night.
The update has delighted Derby fans as they a future for the club they have been fearing for in recent months and weeks. Eyes are now starting to turn to the supporters enjoying the season in League One after the disruption of the last eight months.
Derby forward Ebiowei has also taken to social media to post a message following the latest update. The 18-year-old has posted a one-minute long video showing a highlights reel of his first season in the Rams’ first team. Fans will be hoping this is a sign that the teenager is staying at Pride Park.
The teenager made his debut as a late substitute in the 3-1 win over Hull City back in February and has gone from strength to strength since. He made his first start for the club just under a month later, playing 65 minutes of the 2-0 win over Barnsley.
He scored his first goal for the club in the penultimate game of the season as the Rams came out as 2-0 winners over Blackpool, Ebiowei also recorded an assist for fellow academy graduate Eiran Cashin in that game.
A takeover of the club would mean that Wayne Rooney should not have as many worries about losing his talented young players in the transfer window. That would mean the Rams boss can work to build a team capable of challenging to return to the Championship. | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/malcolm-ebiowei-derby-county-takeover-7090865 | 2022-05-17T11:05:15Z | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/malcolm-ebiowei-derby-county-takeover-7090865 | true | 1 |
Finnish President says sure can solve NATO issue with Turkey through discussion
STOCKHOLM, May 17 (Reuters) - Finland and Sweden will be able to reach an agreement with Turkey over its objections to the two Nordic countries' plans to join the 30-nation NATO alliance, Finland's president said on Tuesday.
"Statements from Turkey have very quickly changed and become harder during the last few days," President Sauli Niinisto said during an address to Sweden's parliament. "But I am sure that, with the help of constructive discussions, we will solve the situation." (Reporting by Simon Johnson, editing by Anna Ringstrom)

Raphinha agrees personal terms with Barcelona but transfer talks with Leeds on hold until Premier League season is over
Raphinha has agreed personal terms on a summer transfer to Barcelona, GOAL has learned, but negotiations with Leeds have been put on hold until the end of the season as both clubs have more pressing concerns at present.
Those at Elland Road are still sweating on their Premier League status, with one more crucial fixture left to take in during their battle to beat the drop, while directors at Camp Nou are working on freeing up space in Xavi’s squad and salary cap for further reinforcements to be drafted in.
It is understood that a deal with Brazil international Raphinha is being lined up, on a contract that will see his salary doubled, with terms that will take him through to 2027 now drawn up in Catalunya.

Will Raphinha leave Leeds for Barcelona?
The 25-year-old forward, who has seven senior caps to his name, is represented by former Barca star Deco – who he has been working with since June 2021.
Contact with Leeds has been made through the ex-Portugal international, with the Whites making it clear that they will only enter into full discussions once their domestic campaign has come to a close following a trip to Brentford on Sunday.
Raphinha will be hoping to steer his current club to safety, but a significant reduction in his release clause will be triggered if a side managed by American coach Jesse Marsch suffer relegation out of the English top flight.
If Leeds were to tumble into the Championship, then Barca would be able to acquire the highly-rated South American for €25 million (£21m/$26m).
The Liga giants are yet to put an official offer on the table, but Raphinha has made it clear to those in West Yorkshire that he wants to leave – with efforts to get him tied down on a new contract having come to nothing.
Can Barcelona complete a deal for Raphinha?
Raphinha now his heart set on making a move to Barcelona, but there are a number of hurdles to clear before any transfer can be pushed through.
Xavi has admitted as much over recent weeks, with the Blaugrana boss stating that departures need to be sanctioned over the summer before arrivals can be welcomed through the doors.
The plan is, having already offloaded Philippe Coutinho to Aston Villa on a permanent basis, to get more big earners off the books in the coming weeks – with the potential there for the likes of Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet, Neto and Frenkie de Jong to be offloaded, while Ousmane Dembele is heading towards free agency.
Without bringing in funds and reducing their wage bill, Barca will be unable to register those that they have their eye on.
Raphinha is now waiting in the wings, while personal terms have also been agreed with AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie and Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen – two players that will be out of contract at the end of the 2021-22 and can be acquired without the need for a fee to change hands. | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/raphinha-agrees-personal-terms-barcelona-transfer-leeds/blte37a8c207df610c6 | 2022-05-17T11:08:42Z | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/raphinha-agrees-personal-terms-barcelona-transfer-leeds/blte37a8c207df610c6 | false | 11 |
The Miami Heat will begin pursuit of further Eastern Conference finals success when they host the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series.
The top-seeded Heat have prevailed in six straight conference final appearances, tied for the fourth-longest streak in NBA history. Two of those series victories came against Boston (2012, 2020).
The second-seeded Celtics have dropped four straight Eastern Conference finals, including three in a four-season stretch from 2017-20.
While Miami has established a greater pattern of recent postseason success — including three NBA titles since 2006 — coach Erik Spoelstra sees nothing easy about playing the Celtics.
“Our guys love competition and love being challenged,” Spoelstra said on Monday. “They love taking on big challenges. That’s what we’re facing. Boston has played as well as anyone in the entire league once they got to 2022. It’s not by accident. They’re playing very strong basketball. They do it on both ends.”
The Celtics ousted the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in seven games in the East semifinals. They wrapped it up with a 109-81 rout on Sunday.
Boston last won the NBA Finals in 2008 and the current roster knows it will have to be ready to mix it up with the Heat.
“It’s the playoffs, and I feel like the deeper that you go, it’s more intense, it’s physical,” veteran big man Al Horford said on Monday. “Even though the first round was very physical for us, it’s not going to be any different. Both teams play hard, but both teams defensively are tops in the league, or one of the best for sure. It’s just a given that both teams are going to go hard.”
Both teams feature a big-time star that will be expected to lead the way.
Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is averaging 28.3 points, 6.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals in the postseason, while Heat forward Jimmy Butler is contributing 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.1 steals.
Tatum, a three-time All-Star, says he is ready for the challenge of leading a team to the NBA Finals.
“I think I’ve grown in the sense of being more prepared,” Tatum said. “Obviously, I was tired after every game and things like that, but my body has matured since my third season. I’m stronger, I take care of my body better, so I felt more prepared for each game. My body kept up.”
Butler, a six-time All-Star, has topped 30 points five times in 10 starts this postseason. He scored 32 points last Thursday to help put the Philadelphia 76ers away 99-90 in Game 6 of the conference semifinals.
Butler said keeping Tatum in check is crucial for the Heat.
“He’s one of the best in the game right now,” Butler said of Tatum. “As much attention as he draws on the offensive end — and then I think what’s really impressive is the way that he’s picked up his defensive intensity. You got to tip your hat to that and respect him. I think those are the guys that you want to go up against.”
The Heat will be without point guard Kyle Lowry (left hamstring) for the seventh time in the past nine games. P.J. Tucker (calf), Max Strus (hamstring), Gabe Vincent (hamstring) and Caleb Martin (ankle) are all questionable.
Boston listed point guard Marcus Smart as questionable after an MRI exam on Monday detected a right midfoot sprain. Smart was injured during Sunday’s game.
“He took a pretty bad fall, got bent up,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said Monday. “It’s pretty tender and sore right now. We’ll get him round-the-clock treatment.”
Udoka said big man Robert Williams III (left knee) is available to play Tuesday after a four-game absence. Williams wasn’t used on Sunday because Udoka didn’t want to tinker with the playing rotation in a Game 7.
The Celtics won two of the three regular-season matchups, including a 95-78 win in Miami on Nov. 4. Neither team feels those results matter.
“This is like a throwback series,” Spoelstra said. “If both teams are really on top of their games, this should be a series where neither team is scoring 130 points. Both teams hang their hats on rock-solid team defense. …
“We were the two best teams in the East most of the season and it’s fitting that we’re moving into the conference finals.”

Home Depot’s first-quarter sales improved despite a slow spring start and the home improvement chain raised its full-year guidance.
Revenue increased about 4% to $38.91 billion, easily beating Wall Street expectations, according to a survey of analysts by Zacks Investment Research.
Sales at stores open at least a year, a key indicator of a retailer’s health, climbed 2.2% globally, and 1.7% in the U.S.
However, the quarterly sales exhibited the slowest pace of growth in two years, noted Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, adding that it was still a pretty good quarter and that the company has managed to keep all the gains it made during the pandemic.
Saunders cautioned that Home Depot will need to keep an eye on some things, including customers transactions, which fell 3.9%. While customers are pulling bank on spending, particularly on big-ticket items, Saunders said that it’s not a major concern at the moment.
“We do not see an enormous collapse in demand as many households are still willing to invest in and improve their homes; but there is a definite softening on the cards which we have not seen for quite some time,” he said.
Home improvement stores have remained busy during the pandemic as people working from home took on new projects and now they’re in their traditional busy spring season as home owners head out for flowers, vegetables and other gardening and landscaping goods.
Home Depot earned $4.23 billion, or $4.09 per share, for the quarter, also topping analyst per-share projections of $3.67. A year earlier the Atlanta company earned $4.1 billion, or $3.86 per share.
Home Depot has continued to lure customers despite what may be a cooling of the housing market. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed in March to the slowest pace in nearly two years as a swift rise in mortgage rates and record-high prices discouraged would-be homebuyers.
Existing home sales fell 2.7% last month from February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million, the National Association of Realtors said.
Last week mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported that the 30-year rate ticked up to 5.3% from 5.27% a week earlier. By contrast, the average rate stood at 2.94% a year ago.
Home Depot now foresees earnings-per-share-percent-growth to be mid-single digits. It anticipates total sales growth and comparable sales growth of approximately 3%. The company previously predicted fiscal 2022 sales growth and same-store sales growth to be slightly positive. It had forecast low single digits earnings per share growth.
Shares rose 3.7% before the market open. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/home-depot-overcomes-slow-start-to-year-rising-home-prices/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2022-05-17T11:13:43Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/home-depot-overcomes-slow-start-to-year-rising-home-prices/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | true | 33 |
The funding will be used to continue building the best CMS experience for developers and marketers who want to scale their storytelling
LINZ, Austria, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Storyblok, an enterprise headless content management system (CMS) that enables developers and marketers to deliver powerful content experiences on any digital platform, today announced the close of its $47M Series B financing, led by Mubadala Capital and HV Capital and joined by existing investors 3VC and firstminute capital. Storyblok previously raised $11 million.
Following the company's last funding round in February 2021, Storyblok has increased the size of its team by 500% across 38 countries and more than doubled its users, projects, and agency partners. The new funding will further accelerate product innovation, growth into the U.S. and Europe—as well as an expansion into APAC—and growth of the ecosystem of partners and apps.
The company was founded by Dominik Angerer and Alexander Feiglstorfer in 2017 during their time working at a web development agency. Their frustrating experience with traditional content management systems, and their inability to find a system that would be a good fit for both developers and content editors, inspired them to build a headless CMS that works for all users.
Storyblok is currently used by 74,000 developers and marketers from 130+ countries, building 120,000 projects. Leading brands such as Adidas, Renault, and Marc O'Polo use Storyblok to organize content and tell better stories globally and instantaneously on all channels.
"We've been big believers in Storyblok from day one, and the speed at which the company has managed to scale since our Series A investment has been remarkable. Storyblok's strong organic traction is a real testament to the quality of the product Dominik and Alex have built, and we are excited to continue our partnership with the Storyblok team," said Fatou Bintou Sagnang, Partner at Mubadala Capital Ventures.
"As a truly remote company with a global customer base, Storyblok is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in the global content management market. The company's remote-first philosophy, along with Dominik's and Alexander's vision, gives them tremendous advantages to scale their product globally at a rapid pace and quickly won our investment team over. We're delighted to be partnering with Storyblok and its innovative team to further support the company's growth ambitions," said Jannis Fett, Investment Manager at HV Capital.
Headless CMS represents the next generation of content management systems, promising a significantly higher degree of flexibility. Storyblok is the only headless CMS built for developers and marketers from the very beginning. The upcoming launch of the all-new Storyblok CMS will bring enhancements to digital asset management, visual editing, and real-time collaboration that further harmonize content operations across all teams. These updates make it even easier for enterprises to have full control of their content in a world where it needs to be everywhere at the same time: websites, mobile, IoT, the metaverse, and beyond.
"Changing the way content is managed and published online is an ambitious goal that requires the support of bold investors," said Dominik Angerer, Co-Founder and CEO of Storyblok. "HV Capital, Mubadala Capital, 3VC, and firstminute capital see the massive need and opportunity to make 'publish once, deploy everywhere' the new standard in enterprise content management."

Here, the positively regal Abby Milnes of education resource experts PlanBee sets out the facts
In June, the Queen will be celebrating her Platinum Jubilee, marking an incredible 70 years on the British throne. This makes her the longest-reigning British monarch and head of state in history, smashing the record set by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
Not born to be Queen
The Queen was born on April 21 1926. Her full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor.
She was named after her mother, Lady Elizabeth, but became known as Lilibet which was how she pronounced her own name as a child.
She had a younger sister, Margaret. When she was born, Princess Elizabeth was not expected to become queen.
Her father, Albert, was the Duke of York and it was his older brother, Edward VIII, who was king. However, when Edward abdicated (gave up) the throne in 1936, Elizabeth’s father became King George VI. Princess Elizabeth then became heir to the throne.
A long and loving relationship
Princess Elizabeth was married to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten on November 20 1947 in a service at Westminster Abbey. They took the titles of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The couple had four children: Prince Charles (1948), Princess Anne (1950), Prince Andrew (1960) and Prince Edward (1964). By the end of 2021, the Queen had eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Elizabeth and Philip had a long relationship, celebrating their Platinum wedding anniversary (70 years) in 2017, before Prince Philip died last year.
Crowned Queen
King George VI died on February 6 1952 and Elizabeth immediately became Queen. She was crowned on 2nd June 1953 at the age of 25 in Westminster Abbey. It was the first coronation to be televised. You can watch it here.
Castles and palaces
Throughout most of her reign, the Queen has lived in Buckingham Palace. She also stays at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Sandringham House in Norfolk, and Windsor Castle, which has been a royal residence for 900 years and is the largest occupied castle in the world.
How will we celebrate the jubilee?
A jubilee is a special anniversary of the current reigning monarch’s ascension to the throne. To celebrate this unprecedented platinum jubilee, there will be a special four-day ‘weekend’ from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5.
Lots of people will celebrate the jubilee by holding a street party in their community. Big tables will be set up in closed streets where people from the local area will join together to listen to music, eat party food and play games. Perhaps there will be one in your neighbourhood.
Commonwealth countries around the world, whose head of state is the Queen, will also hold events to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
Five fun facts about the Queen
During the Second World War, when she was 19, Princess Elizabeth joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service where she trained as a driver and mechanic
Because Britain was still recovering from the War, Elizabeth had to collect ration coupons to buy material for her wedding gown.
The Queen has owned over 30 corgis.
Balmoral Castle was bought by Queen Victoria and is one of the Queen’s favourite places to spend the summer.
There have been 14 Prime Ministers during the Queen’s reign.
A new book for your school
The government has decided that every primary school will receive a new book that celebrates the achievements of the UK and the Commonwealth over the last 70 years. It will explore the role of the monarch at what the platinum jubilee represents.

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.

LONDON -- Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his deal to buy Twitter can't move forward unless the company shows public proof that less than 5% of the accounts on the social media platform are fake or spam.
Musk made the comment in a reply to another user on Twitter early Tuesday. He spent much of the previous day in a back-and-forth with Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, who posted a series of tweets explaining his company's effort to fight bots and how it has consistently estimated that less than 5% of Twitter accounts are fake.
In his tweet Tuesday, Musk said that "20% fake/spam accounts, while 4 times what Twitter claims, could be much higher. My offer was based on Twitter's SEC filings being accurate."
He added: "Yesterday, Twitter's CEO publicly refused to show proof of 5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does."
It's Musk's latest salvo over inauthentic accounts, a problem he has said he wants to rid Twitter of.
At a Miami technology conference Monday, Musk estimated that at least 20% of Twitter's 229 million accounts are spam bots, a percentage he said was at the low end of his assessment, according to a Bloomberg News report.
The battle over spam accounts kicked off last week when Musk tweeted that the Twitter deal was on on hold pending confirmation of the company's estimates that they make up less than 5% of total users.
Also at the All In Summit, Musk gave the strongest hint yet that he would like to pay less for Twitter than the $44 billion offer he made last month.
He said a viable deal at a lower price would not be out of the question, according to the report by Bloomberg, which said it viewed a livestream video of the conference posted by a Twitter user.
Musk's comments are likely to bolster theories from analysts that the billionaire either wants out of the deal or to buy the company at a cheaper price. His tweet Tuesday came in reply to one from a Tesla news site speculating that Musk "may be looking for a better Twitter deal as $44 billion seems too high."
Musk made the offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share on April 14. Twitter shares have slid since then and are now down by just over 8%, to close at $37.39 on Monday.
To finance the acquisition, he has pledged some of his Tesla shares, but they have slumped by a third since the deal was announced. | https://abc7.com/elon-musk-twitter-deal-fake-accounts-spam/11860220/ | 2022-05-17T11:23:27Z | https://abc7.com/elon-musk-twitter-deal-fake-accounts-spam/11860220/ | true | 37 |

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — As Pennsylvania Republicans prepare to choose a nominee for governor Tuesday, some party officials are twisted in knots over the possibility of a primary victory by a candidate many see as too far too the right to win statewide this fall.
Doug Mastriano, a retired U.S. Army colonel and state senator since 2019, has led polls while spending a fraction of the money that some of the other eight candidates listed on the Republican primary ballot have spent.
Mastriano recently won theendorsement of Donald Trump after working with the former president to overturn his loss in 2020’s election in the presidential battleground state and helping spread Trump’s lies that widespread voter fraud cost him victory. Many party officials urged Trump not to endorse Mastriano, fearing he cannot win over the moderate voters necessary to prevail in politically divided Pennsylvania.
Democrats, meanwhile, are united behind the state’s two-term elected attorney general, Josh Shapiro. He is uncontested on the primary ballot after wrapping up the endorsement of the state party and its top allies, including the AFL-CIO, and raising more than $20 million since early 2021.
Shapiro helped cement his reputation with a landmark grand jury investigation into child sexual abuse coverups inside Pennsylvania’s Roman Catholic dioceses and defending Pennsylvania’s 2020 election result against attempts in court to overturn it by Trump and his allies.
They are vying for the right to succeed Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who is constitutionally term-limited after entering office in 2015. The winner is likely to share power with a Republican-led Legislature, where entrenched GOP majorities have controlled the floors for nearly all of the past three decades.
Mastriano has insisted to supporters that he is not a far-right candidate and that his platforms — including eliminating mail-in voting, expanding gun rights, banning abortion and banishing school property taxes — enjoy broad support.
Rather, he says Democrats — including President Joe Biden — are far-left radicals while the Republican “swamp” is trying to defeat him. Shapiro’s campaign, meanwhile, is running a TV ad portraying Mastriano as extreme and saying that if Mastriano wins, “it’s a win for what Donald Trump stands for.”
Mastriano represents a heavily Republican state Senate district based in Franklin County on Pennsylvania’s southern border with Maryland.
Republican voters will see nine names on the ballot for governor, even though two — Jake Corman and Melissa Hart — say they have ended their campaigns and endorsed former U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta as part of a last-ditch attempt to help defeat Mastriano.
Barletta has picked up a number of endorsements by current and former Republican officeholders, including members of Congress.
Besides Mastriano, Barletta, Corman and Hart, also on the Republican ballot for governor are: Joe Gale, a Montgomery County commissioner; Charlie Gerow, a marketing consultant and longtime conservative activist; Bill McSwain, a lawyer who was the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Philadelphia; Dave White, who runs a large plumbing and HVAC firm and is a former Delaware County councilman; and Nche Zama, a retired heart surgeon who has directed units at various hospitals in Pennsylvania.

Jack Grealish insists Sunday's showdown at The Etihad is about Manchester City - not his reunion with former club Aston Villa.
The England international will play against his boyhood club for the second time since leaving for £100million last summer. Grealish will receive a Premier League winners' medal if City defeat Steven Gerrard's team in Manchester.
City were heading for defeat at West Ham on Sunday before Grealish gave them a lifeline with his third Premier League goal of the season. Vladimir Coufal's own goal sealed an important point for City, who now just need to win their final game to clinch the title.
READ: Villa 'hold talks' over £42.5m transfer after Gerrard's Watkins claim
READ: Bruno Guimaraes stops interview to make Aston Villa transfer demand
It's been a difficult first season at City for Grealish since his big money move from Villa Park. The 26-year-old has only scored six goals in his 39 appearances for City and was excluded from the starting line-up by Pep Guardiola for crunch Champions League fixtures with Atletico and Real Madrid.
But the Brummie playmaker is determined to get one over on Villa and seal his first major trophy on Sunday. “It is going to be a big day for this city and for this football club,” said Grealish.
“Of course, we are going to be confident. We have got a great record at the Etihad this year and we have scored a lot of goals, so it is down to us.
“We have to just try and get the three points on the last day. It is not about me [playing Villa] or the opposition, it is about the team and the club. That is what I have got in my head.
“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." | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/grealish-man-city-aston-villa-23979705 | 2022-05-17T11:35:03Z | https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/grealish-man-city-aston-villa-23979705 | true | 1 |

A YORK band have hit a top 40 spot in the album sales charts with the release of their debut record.
Skylights released their first album 'What You Are' last week - and the record reached number 34 in the official charts, placing near the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Sam Fender.
Turnbull Smith, guitarist in the band, said: "All the support means the world to us four lads, we are giving it ago against the big guns.
"We are extremely proud, humbled and overwhelmed with your support. On behalf of all the lads - thank you and see you at the front."
Turnbull said the album is a mix of old and new songs, with everything fine-tuned for the album release.
"We hope the fans love it - we really could not do this without them, that’s why we titled the album What You Are, it just fitted - we are what the fans are, they give us the platform," he added.
The closing track on their debut album 'Driving Me Away' features the "Queen" of UK indie violinists, Julia Violinista.
The band are now preparing for their dream gig at Leeds O2 Academy in July - where they will play in front of 2,300 fans.

Foreign journalist fined for illegal freelancing with news publishers
SINGAPORE: A foreign journalist was on Tuesday (May 17) fined S$6,500 for doing freelance work without a valid work pass.
Calum Arthur Alistair Stuart, 36, pleaded guilty to one charge under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act. Another similar charge was considered for sentencing.
The two co-accused who engaged his services - Refinitiv Asia and media professional Muhammad Firdianshah Salimat - were also fined S$5,500 and S$4,000 respectively.
Stuart, a Briton, married a Singaporean in 2014 and was on a long-term visit pass when he offended in 2015 and 2016.
The Ministry of Manpower received information against Stuart for possible illegal employment in September 2019 and investigated.
Stuart admitted to doing freelance television and video production work for Refinitiv, then known as Thomson Reuters, while he did not hold a valid work pass.
He was paid about S$30,000 for work done over more than half a year from Nov 25, 2015 to Jul 8, 2016, except for a period of about three weeks in June 2016.
The court heard that Stuart was offered an assistant producer role with Refinitiv's news business in August 2015. He agreed to the offer but did not sign the employment contract.
The company subsequently applied for an employment pass on Stuart's behalf, but the application was rejected on Sep 9, 2015.
The company then applied for a letter of consent for Stuart to work for them on Nov 23, 2015. This was rejected on Dec 23 that year.
Around Nov 25, 2015, while waiting for approval of the letter of consent, Refinitiv offered freelance work to Stuart at a rate of S$4,500 a month.
Stuart accepted despite knowing that he was prohibited from engaging in any profession without a valid work pass, according to court documents.
The prosecution asked for a fine of S$7,000 to S$8,000, arguing that while Stuart did not take active steps to be illegally self-employed, he accepted the offer only two days after the company had applied for his letter of consent.
Stuart also made "significant" gains from his illegal employment, said Ministry of Manpower prosecuting officer Houston Johannus.
Stuart's defence lawyer Remy Choo said his client's main offence was in failing to check the status of his letter of consent, and disagreed that the amount he earned was relevant to sentencing.
On Refinitiv's part, the company admitted to being aware that Stuart did not hold a valid work pass when it made the freelance offer.
The company pleaded guilty to one charge of abetting Stuart to commit the offence of being a self-employed foreigner without a valid work pass.
ARTICLES ON YAHOO
Stuart's other co-accused Firdianshah, 30, is the founder of online publisher Popspoken.
He similarly pleaded guilty to one charge of abetting Stuart to commit the offence of being a self-employed foreigner without a valid work pass.
In May 2015, Firdianshah signed an agreement with Yahoo Asia Pacific to provide three to five original pieces of writing every weekday on news and current events.
Firdianshah would be paid S$150 for each piece published on the Yahoo! Singapore news website.
Around this time, Firdianshah became acquainted with Stuart through Stuart's wife, and offered him a job as a freelance writer.
Stuart expressed his interest in the job on Jun 6, 2015, and both men worked out an arrangement.
Although Stuart had highlighted the issue of seeking the necessary approval before starting work, Firdianshah still chose to engage him despite him not holding a valid work pass, according to court documents.
Both men signed an agreement on Jun 27, 2015 for Stuart to provide Firdianshah with three to five original pieces of writing every weekday.
Firdianshah would then submit these to Yahoo for consideration, and pay Stuart S$100 for every published piece after taking a S$50 cut. He would also be in charge of vetting Stuart's articles.
Between Jun 27, 2015 and late August 2015, Stuart wrote seven articles mostly about Singapore's current affairs that were published by Yahoo. He was paid S$700 in total, while Firdianshah received S$350.
Mr Johannus said Firdianshah "showed a cavalier attitude towards the law" in choosing to engage Stuart.
Firdianshah's defence lawyer Tiffanie Lim highlighted that her client was only 22 at the time and offended due to a lack of due diligence.
She said that Stuart's work pass was "simply not something in (Firdianshah's) headspace at the time".
The penalty for being a self-employed foreigner without a valid work pass, and abetting such an offence, is up to two years' jail, a fine of up to S$20,000 or both for a first-time offender.
This is increased to between one month and two years' jail and a fine of up to S$20,000 for repeat offenders. | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/foreign-journalist-calum-stuart-illegal-freelance-work-pass-thomson-reuters-yahoo-2689686?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-05-17T11:39:09Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/foreign-journalist-calum-stuart-illegal-freelance-work-pass-thomson-reuters-yahoo-2689686?cid=cna_flip_070214 | true | 1 |

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to assess its operating performance.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance as it excludes amortization of software and intangibles (which is an accounting allocation of the cost of software and intangible assets arising on acquisition), any impact of finance and tax related activities, asset depreciation, foreign exchange gains and losses, other income, restructuring and transition costs primarily related to acquisitions and other one-time non-recurring transactions.

Erik ten Hag played down the suggestion that Manchester United could look to sign Hakim Ziyech this summer after Dutch legend Marco van Basten recommended him for such a move.
Ziyech, 29, played under Ten Hag at Ajax but has struggled for regular game time since he moved to Chelsea two years ago.
United are in the market for another forward at the end of the season and the interim manager Ralf Rangnick has advised the club to look at signing two attackers if possible.
READ MORE: Darwin Nunez has already shown Erik ten Hag what he is missing at Manchester United
Morocco international Ziyech is certainly a player who Ten Hag knows well from their time together in Amsterdam and Van Basten believes he would be a good fit at Old Trafford.
"What comes to my mind now is that I think Ziyech, who already plays in England, could be a very good footballer at Manchester United for Erik," Van Basten told Ziggo Sport on Monday.
Rather conveniently, United manager-in-waiting Ten Hag was also a guest on the show, so supporters didn't have to wait long to hear what he had to say about the suggestion.
The former Ajax manager side-stepped talking specifically about Ziyech and instead spoke about how intense transfer speculation is just part of the job at an elite club.
"Of course this was already the case at Ajax," he said. "You take that in and then you have to continue to work well with the dressing room and with people within the club. You have to analyse well and make the right choices." | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-transfer-ten-hag-23979064 | 2022-05-17T11:39:49Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-transfer-ten-hag-23979064 | false | 1 |

Singing brothers Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone and Douglas Mayanja alias Weasel have once again shocked revellers after the two shared a kiss on the lips while on stage.
The two brothers were performing during a concert in Bujumbura, Burundi.
It was during a stage session of Chameleone when the two swapped lips, with Weasel, later posting the picture and captioning it: “Forever and Ever”.
The two brothers are not strangers to the kissing situations, in November 2016 during a local concert in Kampala, Chameloene came on stage to replace Weasel and the two shared a kiss much to the excitement of the revellers.
Again in March 2022 during a family reunion, Weasel quickly stole a kiss from their other brother Pius Mayanja alias Pallaso. | http://nilepost.co.ug/2022/05/17/chameleone-weasel-kiss-on-stage-again/ | 2022-05-17T11:40:59Z | http://nilepost.co.ug/2022/05/17/chameleone-weasel-kiss-on-stage-again/ | true | null |

DALLAS (AP) — A suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that wounded three women in a hair salon in the city’s Koreatown that authorities have said might have been a hate crime, police said early Tuesday.
The suspect was being interviewed and processed, the Dallas Police Department said, and Chief Eddie Garcia was expected to release additional information about the arrest later in the day.
Garcia said last week that last Wednesday's shooting at Hair World Salon could be connected to two other shootings at businesses run by Asian Americans.
The Dallas shooting occurred a few days before a white gunman killed 10 Black people Saturday at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket and a gunman authorities said was motivated by political hatred against Taiwan killed one person and wounded five Sunday at a southern California church where mostly elderly Taiwanese parishioners had gathered.

Authorities have said a man dressed all in black opened fire at the salon, then drove off in a maroon minivan. Garcia said investigators found that a similar vehicle was reported to be involved in two other recent shootings, including an April 2 drive-by in the area where the salon is located. No one was injured in either of those shootings.
Garcia said the vehicle was also linked to a drive-by shooting on May 10 about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of the shopping center where Wednesday's shooting happened.
The three women who were shot at the salon were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.
Jane Bae, the daughter of one of the wounded women, told The Associated Press last week that her mother told her that the man, who she didn’t recognize, calmly walked in, opened fire and then left.
“He was calm. He just walked up to it and then stood there — didn’t walk around — but stood there and shot like 20 shots and then just calmly went out,” said Bae, who wasn’t there but had spoken with her mother.
The salon is in the heart of Koreatown, which is in a part of the city that was transformed in the 1980s from an industrial area to a thriving district with shopping, dining, markets, medical offices and salons.
Anti-Asian violence has risen sharply in recent years. Last year, six women of Asian descent were among the eight killed in a shooting at massage businesses in and near Atlanta, heightening anger and fear among Asian Americans.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Belgrade was targeted by a series of bomb threats on Monday, including threats against schools, bridges, restaurants and a soccer match, bringing rush hour traffic to a standstill in the Serbian capital.
Police said in a statement that no explosive devices were found after different searches. It was not immediately clear who was behind the purported emailed threats.
Nearly 100 elementary schools were evacuated after the threats, as well as several restaurants, including McDonald’s and shopping malls, bridges, a zoo, the airport, a railway station and the water supply company.
A soccer premiership game was postponed as police searched the stadium.
Police have blocked traffic over the bridges during the rush hour, creating a huge gridlock.
“Even though the threats seem to be false, we should not take them lightly,” said Branko Ruzic, a Serbian government minister.
Authorities have not stipulated who is behind the threats that have been recorded over the past several days with gradually increased intensity.
Serbian tabloids said all the threats “came from abroad as a sign of pressure” for Serbia’s refusal to introduce sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. The reports could not be independently verified.
National airline Air Serbia has faced several bomb threats in the past months after being the only European company, besides Turkish carriers, to maintain regular flights to Russia despite a Western flight embargo.
Serbia’s pro-Russian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin said “Serbia is the target of a special warfare that comes from different European addresses.” | https://www.upmatters.com/news/business/ap-business/serbias-capital-belgrade-paralyzed-by-numerous-bomb-threats/ | 2022-05-17T11:48:13Z | https://www.upmatters.com/news/business/ap-business/serbias-capital-belgrade-paralyzed-by-numerous-bomb-threats/ | false | 31 |

HOUSTON, May 17, 2022
- Project to include Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and low carbon hydrogen production
- With potential start-up by 2026, project aims to store up to 15 million metric tons of CO2 per year in multiple sites – the equivalent of removing approximately 3 million cars from the road
- Engaging with additional emitters to decarbonize Texas Gulf Coast
HOUSTON, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- bp and Linde today announced plans to advance a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas that will enable low carbon hydrogen production at Linde's existing facilities. The development will also support the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from other industrial facilities -- paving the way for large-scale decarbonization of the Texas Gulf Coast industrial corridor.
Upon completion, the project will capture and store CO2 from Linde's hydrogen production facilities in the greater Houston area -- and potentially from its other Texas facilities – to produce low carbon hydrogen for the region. The low carbon hydrogen will be sold to customers along Linde's hydrogen pipeline network under long-term contracts to enable production of low carbon chemicals and fuels.
As part of the project, bp will appraise, develop and permit the geological storage sites for permanent sequestration of the CO2. bp's trading and shipping business aims to bring custom low carbon solutions to the project, including renewable power and certified natural gas, along with commodity trading and price risk management expertise.
Linde will use its proprietary technology and operational expertise to capture and compress the CO2 from its hydrogen production facilities for the project. Together with its extensive infrastructure of hydrogen production facilities and its storage cavern connected through its pipeline network across the Texas Gulf Coast, this project will enable Linde to supply cost-effective, reliable low carbon hydrogen and, together with bp, provide carbon capture and storage solutions.
Dave Lawler, chairman and president of bp America, said: "The energy expertise in Texas and strong supply chains have been generations in the making. This new low carbon energy project will help us leverage those strengths for the next chapter of the energy transition. In particular, it can help decarbonize hard-to-abate industries for the greatest potential impact on emissions while protecting jobs. bp is proud to support this project as we continue delivering on our own strategy and net zero ambition."
The project will be a further important step in the development of bp's low carbon business. bp is evaluating large scale CCS and hydrogen projects for industrial clusters in the US and already is in action on Teesside, the industrial heart of the United Kingdom.
"Linde is committed to lowering absolute carbon emissions 35% by 2035 and reaching climate neutrality by 2050. Capturing the CO2 from our hydrogen production plants in the Houston area will be a significant step towards achieving these goals," added Dan Yankowski, President Linde Gases North America.
"We are excited to bring Linde's leading technology portfolio and infrastructure to support this project and make low carbon hydrogen available to our customers in the Gulf Coast. More broadly Linde is well positioned to enable similar projects be it in the Gulf Coast where we operate two hydrogen pipelines and a hydrogen storage cavern or elsewhere in the U.S."
The overall development, expected to be operational as early as 2026, will also enable capture and storage of CO2 from other large industrial facilities in the region and could ultimately store up to 15 million metric tons per year across multiple onshore geologic storage sites – the equivalent of taking approximately three million cars off the road each year.

Q24N (DW) The United States has announced a series of steps to loosen some Trump-era restrictions on travel to Cuba and the transfer of family remittances between the two countries.
The State Department said on Monday that it will lift the previously set US$1,000-per-quarter limit on family remittances and will allow non-family remittance — a move that would help independent Cuban entrepreneurs.
Scheduled and charter flights will also be allowed to locations beyond Havana, the State Department said.
The revision of US policy on Cuba will mean increased visa processing, including at the Havana consulate. However, most visas would still be handled at the US embassy in Guyana.
“The Cuban people are confronting an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and our policy will continue to focus on empowering the Cuban people to help them create a future free from repression and economic suffering,” the State Department said.
How US and Cuba reacted
The details on how the new policy would be executed were not immediately clear, but officials said the steps would be implemented over coming weeks.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the Biden administration move “a limited step in the right direction.”
He said that the decision doesn’t change the embargo in place since 1962 nor most of Trump’s measures against the island.
“To know the real scope of this announcement, we must wait for the publication of the regulation that will determine its application,” he said in a tweet.
Anuncio del gobierno EEUU es un paso limitado en dirección correcta. La decisión no modifica el bloqueo, la inclusión fraudulenta en lista de países patrocinadores del terrorismo, ni mayoría de medidas coercitivas de máxima presión de Trump que aún afectan al pueblo cubano.

— Bruno Rodríguez P (@BrunoRguezP) May 16, 2022
Meanwhile, US Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a member of President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party, criticized the lifting of some restrictions, saying that the regime on the communist island “continues its ruthless persecution of countless Cubans from all walks of life” following unprecedented street protests last year.
“Today’s announcement risks sending the wrong message to the wrong people, at the wrong time and for all the wrong reasons,” Mendez said.
“Those who still believe that increasing travel will breed democracy in Cuba are simply in a state of denial. For decades, the world has been traveling to Cuba and nothing has changed,” he added.

New Delhi | Jagran Technology Desk: Tech giant Apple at a regular interval keep updating its operating system with the latest updates. Now, as per the latest developments on the same, it is likely that Apple will launch the new iOS version, iOS 16 by end of this year. The upcoming operating system, iOS 16 will be the successor to the current iOS 15 and will come with several new features and improvements. Reportedly, the OS will likely bring new ways of interacting with the system and some “fresh Apple apps," Bloomberg’s Apple expert Mark Gurman has said.
The iOS 16 will bring new ways of interacting with the system and some “fresh Apple apps," Gurman said as per the Power On newsletter. The expert also offered some interesting deets on what tech giant Apple has been keeping in-store and what can be rolled out in the coming time. The release of iOS and iPadOS will be announced in the company’s Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC
He also said that iOS 16 will not bring many significant cosmetic changes, but it will include new ways of interacting and some “fresh Apple apps." There is also an expectation that Apple will bring some new widgets to iOS 16, since they have mostly been untouched since the release of iOS 14.
“While I don’t expect Apple to present a full redesign of the software, there should be major changes across the system, new ways of interacting and some fresh Apple apps. The news about watchOS 9 will be significant as well," Gurman said.
The WatchOS 9 will be a significant update over the past year’s WatchOS 8 as per Gurman. He had previously reported that a revamped notification system and new health and fitness tracking features are in the works for iOS 16.
Meanwhile, the tech giant Apple is expected to reveal iOS 16 during the WWDC 2022 next month, and it will be rolled out later this year, possibly around the time the company launches the iPhone 14 series in the month of September.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have legally tied the knot at a court in Santa Barbara, California, just one month after their gatmaak wedding in Las Vegas.
The lovebirds exchanged vows with a small number of loved ones and their security on Sunday.
After saying “I do”, the 42-year-old reality star and drummer, 46, were seen driving off in a classic black convertible with a “just married” sign on the bumper.
However, Kourtney and Travis are still planning a proper troudag.
A source confirmed to PEOPLE: “They had to legally get married first ahead of their big Italian wedding, which is happening very soon.
“All the details are set and the whole family, including all the kids, are very excited.”
Kourtney hasn’t been married before, but she has three laaities with ex-partner Scott Disick,
While Travis has two with second spouse Shanna Moakler.
It’s the 46-year-old musician’s third marriage, as he was also briefly married to first wife Melissa Kennedy between 2001 and 2002.
Meanwhile, Kourt’s taanie, Kris Jenner, has been “sworn to secrecy” over the couple’s wedding plans.
The 66-year-old momager – whose eldest daughter got engaged to the Blink-182 drummer in October 2021 after less than a year of dating – insisted she’ll be “sitting in the background” and keeping tight-lipped to avoid getting into any trouble by spilling details before the big day.
She laughed: “I have been sworn to secrecy. If I say one thing about a wedding, I am gonna be in so much trouble!
This will be the pair’s third “wedding” this year, after a prank ceremony in Vegas where the couple visited a chapel in Vegas after attending the Grammy Awards.
The dronk pair had a lekker jol at the ceremony, which took place at 1.30am and was attended by an Elvis impersonator. | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/lifestyle-entertainment/lifestyle/now-its-official-kourtney-travis-wed-legally-ffbd35ab-d242-4dba-98f1-fe169bd0db06 | 2022-05-17T11:56:20Z | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/lifestyle-entertainment/lifestyle/now-its-official-kourtney-travis-wed-legally-ffbd35ab-d242-4dba-98f1-fe169bd0db06 | false | 1 |

Preparations are underway at Festival Palace as red carpet is rolled out just hours ahead of 75th Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony while celebrities including Eva Longoria arrive in the resort town
Preparations were well-underway just hours ahead of the 75th Cannes Film Festival opening on Tuesday morning as the red carpet was seen being rolled out while celebrities have begun arriving at the resort town.
Workers were hard at work installing the red carpet on the grand staircase outside Festival Palace, or Palais des Festivals, which is set to host the opening ceremony of the prestigious film festival on Tuesday night.
The last touches were made and the huge poster for the Cannes Film Festival's golden jubilee, which this year features an image from The Truman Show, was unfurled by workers.
Getting ready: Preparations were well-underway just hours ahead of the 75th Cannes Film Festival opening on Tuesday morning as the red carpet was seen being rolled out while celebrities have begun arriving at the resort town
Impressive: The huge red carpet was rolled out just hours ahead of the lavish opening ceremony, which will get into full swing after Covid
And celebrities including Eva Longoria have begun arriving at the resort town ahead of the two-week annual event, which will see hotly-anticipated films Top Gun: Maverick and King of Rock 'N Roll' biopic 'Elvis' shown.
Eva was seen standing on a balcony at the Martinez Hotel on the eve of the 75th annual Cannes film festival as she expressed her excitement at attending the event.
The actress, 47, went braless in a figure-hugging silver dress which gathered at the front to create a unique texture.
The garment featured a turtle neck and was sleeveless, leaving her arms and shoulders exposed to the warm evening air.
Getting ready: Celebrities including Eva Longoria have begun arriving at the resort town ahead of the two-week annual event. On Monday, Eva was seen standing on a balcony at the Martinez Hotel
She completed her look with a pair of strappy silver heels to add a few inches to her stature.
Eva accessorised with a pair of silver hoop earrings, with the jewellery visible under her wet hair.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the star posed for a picture on the balcony, catching the golden light as the sun set.
Eva captioned her post: 'Hello my sweet Cannes.'
On Tuesday, Tyson Fury was seen posing for photographs with eager fans just hours ahead of the opening ceremony, while model Matilda Lutz was seen stepping out of the Martinez Hotel.
BEFORE: After Cannes was entirely cancelled in 2020 (pictured without red carpet) and held under strict health protocols in 2021, the red carpet is set to return in all its glamour on Tuesday night
AFTER: One of the first stars to walk the red carpet will be Forest Whitaker - the Oscar-winning star of 'The Last King of Scotland' - who is picking up the honorary Palme d'Or award at the opening ceremony
Last year: The Cannes Film Festival in 2021 (pictured) was heavily affected by Covid-19 and led to a more scaled-back event
Arrival: Forest (pictured at Nice Airport on Monday), 60, won an acting award at the festival back in 1988 for his role as jazz legend Charlie Parker in Clint Eastwood's Bird
After Cannes was entirely cancelled in 2020 and held under strict health protocols in 2021, the red carpet is set to return in all its glamour on Tuesday night.
One of the first stars to walk the red carpet will be Forest Whitaker - the Oscar-winning star of 'The Last King of Scotland' - who is picking up the honorary Palme d'Or award at the opening ceremony.
Forest, 60, won an acting award at the festival back in 1988 for his role as jazz legend Charlie Parker in Clint Eastwood's Bird.
There will also be an array of TikTok stars taking to the red carpet this year after organisers have sought to refresh their image by partnering with the video streaming platform, which is sponsoring an award for short films.
Stars: On Tuesday, Tyson Fury was seen posing for photographs with eager fans just hours ahead of the opening ceremony, while model Matilda Lutz was seen stepping out of the Martinez Hotel
And the film chosen to open the festival will be Final Cut, a comedy love letter to filmmaking and Z-list zombie movies from the team behind the award-winning The Artist.
Its director Michel Hazanavicius said it was 'a joyous celebration of film people, which I hope will encourage others to get involved'.
On Wednesday, Hollywood star Tom Cruise will arrive at the film festival for the first time in 30 years as his much-delayed blockbuster sequel Top Gun: Maverick gets its European premiere.
The sequel, long delayed by the pandemic, has been getting warm reviews from critics and gives Cannes a chance to honour Tom, described by festival director Thierry Fremaux as 'someone who is devoted to cinema'.
A host of British stars including Letitia Wright, Joe Alwyn, Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton are also expected to attend this year's festivities.
Hosting: Workers were seen lifting the huge red carpet into place as they decked out Festival Palace for the film festival
Red: The 75th Cannes Film Festival is set to be a massive affair, after two years of being hampered by Covid-19
Stylish: Model Matilda Lutz looked effortlessly chic in a cropped white shirt and straight leg black jeans as she stepped out of the Martinez Hotel on Tuesday
In total, some 35,000 film professionals are expected to attend the festival between May 17 and 28, hoping for a return to form for cinema's most glamorous event after two years when it was hampered by Covid-19 restrictions.
'We are ready. The town hall has just redone everything - the whole place - so we hope it will go well,' said Jeremie Tripet, manager of 'L'Avenue', a bistro just off the main drag known as La Croisette.
One major exception is the absence of Russians, due to the impact of sanctions over the war in Ukraine and a ruling from the organisers that state-linked delegates are not welcome. China is also expected to have a limited presence due to its continuing Covid restrictions.
But otherwise the festival is keen to put the pandemic in the past, with no mandatory masks or health passes this year - and no restrictions to partying.
Preparations: The last touches were made and the huge poster for the Cannes Film Festival's golden jubilee was unfurled by workers
Film fans can get stuck into the usual feast of new releases and competition entries, braving the festival's famously opinionated crowds, who are never shy about cheering and booing during screenings.
There's a lot of excitement around the Elvis Presley biopic from Australia's Baz Luhrmann, hoping to recreate the buzz he generated when he brought the can-can to Cannes with 'Moulin Rouge!' 20 years ago.
Elvis, playing out of competition, sees newcomer Austin Butler stepping into The King's blue suede shoes. Tom Hanks plays his infamous manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
There are 21 films in the race for the Palme d'Or, including the latest body-horror fable from David Cronenberg, Crimes of the Future, starring Lea Seydoux and Kristen Stewart.
The Canadian director told IndieWire it is likely to cause walkouts 'within the first five minutes'.
There are only five women directors in the competition, hoping to follow the success of last year's winner, Titane, which made Julia Ducournau only the second female to win the Palme.
Alongside all the glitz, festival director Thierry Fremaux said Cannes aimed to keep the war in Ukraine in the spotlight.
Looking good: Workers were hard at work installing the red carpet on the grand staircase outside Festival Palace, or Palais des Festivals, which is set to host the opening ceremony of the prestigious film festival on Tuesday night
'Together we will have a great festival - we will think a lot about cinema without ever stopping thinking about Ukraine.'
The final film by Lithuanian director Mantas Kvedaravicius, who was killed by Russian forces in Ukraine last month, will get a special screening.
He was shooting a follow-up to his celebrated documentary Mariupolis, about the conflict in Ukraine's Donbas region, when he was reportedly captured and killed.
The main competition also includes exiled Russian Kirill Serebrennikov, who was unable to attend for his two previous nominations due to a politically charged conviction for embezzlement back home.
Fremaux said the festival wanted to lend a hand to 'the Russians who take risks to resist' while offering 'absolute and non-negotiable support to the Ukrainian people'.
The jury charged with selecting the winners this year includes Indian superstar Deepika Padukone and Iran's two-time Oscar-winning director Asghar Farhadi, and is headed by French actor Vincent Lindon. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10824623/Red-carpet-rolled-ahead-75th-Cannes-Film-Festival-listers-including-Eva-Longoria-arrive.html | 2022-05-17T11:57:04Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10824623/Red-carpet-rolled-ahead-75th-Cannes-Film-Festival-listers-including-Eva-Longoria-arrive.html | true | 2 |
