The condensed schedule, caused by the late start to spring training and the regular season, has led to day-night doubleheaders such as the one facing the Chicago White Sox and the host Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
The White Sox won the series opener 5-3 in 10 innings Monday night on Luis Robert’s two-out, two-run home run. The visitors took a 3-0 lead to the eighth, but the Royals tied it on a two-run double by Whit Merrifield and an RBI single by Andrew Benintendi before Robert’s heroics.
Chicago will send Dylan Cease (3-1, 3.55 ERA) to the mound in the first game Tuesday, and the White Sox planned to wait until after that game to determine who would get the ball for the nightcap. Manager Tony La Russa said it’s possible that Lucas Giolito (2-1, 2.70) could return from the COVID injured list, but that was to be determined.
The Royals will have Jonathan Heasley (0-1, 2.70 ERA) pitch the first game, while Brady Singer (0-0, 6.35) will pitch the nightcap.
The twin bill is part of a five-game series that will stretch both clubs’ rosters.
“If there were five days (to play the five games), that would be one thing,” La Russa said. “If you had a little break before or after it would be another thing. But it’s the same thing for them. They just had a series in Colorado, and they’ve got another series coming this weekend.
“It’s a lot of games. We’re all protecting our staffs, and we don’t have a lot of extra players. There will be a bunch of guys who play both games (Tuesday). You have to figure out who needs a break.”
La Russa said that Giolito would pitch in the series, it’s just a question of Tuesday or Wednesday.
“The good part of it is that all the signs are looking up on Gio,” the manager said. “We’re going to wait and see. There’s enough going on with the game we’re playing (Monday) and the first game (Tuesday).”
Cease, who is 3-2 with a 2.96 ERA in 10 career starts against the Royals, has been hot and cold this season. He has yielded 15 runs total in his seven starts, but 10 of them came in two outings.
The right-hander gave up six runs in four innings during a no-decision against the New York Yankees on Thursday in his latest start.
Heasley has not faced the White Sox in his brief career. He will be making his second appearance of the season Tuesday, after taking a 3-1 loss in a start at Texas on Thursday. Heasley allowed one run on four hits with one strikeout in 3 1/3 innings. Four walks, and no offensive support, did him in.
Singer, who is due to be recalled from Triple-A Omaha for the start, needs to find the form that made him one of the Royals’ top pitching prospects. He made just three outings, all in relief, before being sent to the minors on April 28.
“I’m excited to get him out there,” Kansas City manager Mike Matheny said. “We know he’s a big part of this organization. It’s good to see that he had a couple of good outings (with Omaha). He got work, and he wasn’t getting work here.
“To be honest, how we’ve had to work our staff, and our ‘pen especially, we need our starters to take the ball and go. We’re not trying to put extra pressure on them. That’s what we want every single night. But I know that’s what Brady wants to do and I know that’s what Jonathan wants to do.
“We’re in a long stretch of games with a doubleheader right in the middle of it. It puts a lot of pressure on us to pound the zone and make quality pitches.”
The White Sox have won two of their past three games while the Royals have lost six of nine.

LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new research paper, DoubleLine's Macro-Asset Allocation Team – Fei He, Ryan Kimmel and Sam Garza – takes a look at the current inflation dynamic, how we got to where we are now, the firm's near-term outlook for price pressures and investment implications.
"We expect U.S. inflation to peak in the coming months but remain highly elevated for a longer period," the team writes, "as U.S. monetary and fiscal policies will likely be ineffective in controlling the inflation problems in the near term."

We face growing worldwide turmoil and worsening economics, and a lot of share prices have been falling. On top of the global slowdown, we’ve also seen a tech stock sell-off. That’s hit some US stocks hard, and UK shares have also felt some pain.
But when life gives us lemons, right? I’m seeing plenty of opportunities for making lemonade out there. And so do the folks at investment platform provider IG. Its writer Piper Terrett has highlighted three undervalued shares that “could be worth buying for the longer term“.
5 Stocks For Trying To Build Wealth After 50
One notable billionaire made 99% of his current wealth after his 50th birthday. And here at The Motley Fool, we believe it is NEVER too late to start trying to build your fortune in the stock market. Our expert Motley Fool analyst team have shortlisted 5 companies that they believe could be a great fit for investors aged 50+ trying to build long-term, diversified portfolios.
Longer term… I like that. It’s very much in line with our investing approach here at The Motley Fool.
Fallen US giant
One is the US company formerly known as Facebook, Meta (NASDAQ: FB). Meta shares have fallen 36% over the past 12 months. And from a peak in September 2021, they’re down a whopping 48%.
Full-year results in February disappointed investors, sending the stock reeling.
Then there was a whistleblower report revealing that the company had sat on research showing Instagram was damaging teenagers’ mental health. And it hadn’t been too effective in taking down hate speech.
Plus there’s “a more hostile regulatory environment in Europe, which is seeking to rein in the power of the big technology companies through its Digital Markets Act“. But the report reckons Meta “is a behemoth and the present hurdles are not insurmountable for the company“.
The bottom line takeaway for IG? “Although it might take a while for Meta shares to receive a re-rating, the present dip could represent a buying opportunity for investors“.
UK shares #1: ITV
Time for UK shares now, with ITV (LSE: ITV) having fallen 45% in a year.
Full-year results in March led to a big sell-off, despite growing profits. It seems ITV’s plans to invest £1.23bn in its streaming business ITVX proved hard to swallow for some investors. The aim is to follow that with an additional £1.35bn in 2023, for a service not due to be launched until the final quarter this year.
The board thinks ITVX will double digital sales at the company to £750m by 2026. But it is up against the likes of Netflix. And it will be competing with its own conventional offerings too.
After strong a strong Q1 update, what’s the IG verdict? It said: “While the cost of living crisis and inflation could affect input costs and advertising, the share price dip suggests the bad news may already be in the price.”
UK shares #2: NatWest
UK shares again next, in the form of NatWest Group (LSE: NWG). Formerly known as Royal Bank of Scotland, it was a big casualty of the banking crisis in the UK. So what’s the attraction now? Firstly, there’s a dividend yield of 4.8%.
We also have a big share buyback programme, with £750m already returned that way. The bank intends to continue with a further £2bn over this year and next. What’s it all worth? It appears that “analysts say this brings the dividend yield on the shares closer to 13%“.
The IG take on NatWest? At current price levels, “the shares are worth buying for the long-term“. | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/05/17/igs-top-uk-shares-and-one-us-share-to-buy-today/ | 2022-05-17T19:22:20Z | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/05/17/igs-top-uk-shares-and-one-us-share-to-buy-today/ | false | 1 |

In Buffalo, Biden mourns victims, says 'evil will not win'
BUFFALO (AP) — President Joe Biden has traveled to Buffalo, New York, declaring that “evil will not win” in America. He's showing solidarity with the community after a white supremacist targeted Black people at a supermarket and left 10 people dead. He condemned what he called the “poison” of white supremacy and said the nation must “reject the lie” of the so-called replacement theory espoused by the shooter. That's the baseless contention that white people are being intentiionally replaced by people of color. It's another manifestation of the bigotry Biden vowed to confront while running for president. Biden says it was the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and President Donald Trump's ambivalent reaction that drove him to run.
'Like every other day': 10 lives lost on a trip to the store
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The 10 people shot and killed in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, were caregivers and protectors and helpers. Some were running an errand or doing a favor or finishing out a shift. One came from volunteering at a food bank. Another had been tending to her husband at his nursing home. Most were in their 50s and beyond, and were destined for more, even if just the dinner they planned to make. Their paths crossed with a young man driven by racism and hatred, and now their families are left to grieve and remember those lost.

Fall of Mariupol appears at hand; fighters leave steel plant
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The fall of Mariupol appears at hand as Ukraine is moving to abandon a sprawling steel plant where its soldiers had held out under relentless bombardment for months, which would make it the biggest city to fall into Russian hands. Much of it, though, has been reduced to rubble. Ukraine estimates some 20,000 civilians have been killed in the Russian assault on Mariupol, a city on the Azov Sea that stands between the Russian mainland and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014. Hundreds of Ukrainian fighters have left the Azovstal steel plant and turned themselves over to Russian hands.
FDA clears COVID booster shot for healthy kids ages 5 to 11
U.S. regulators have authorized a COVID-19 vaccine booster for healthy children ages 5 to 11. Everyone 12 and older already was supposed to get one booster dose for the best protection against the newest variants of the coronavirus. Some people, including those 50 and older, can choose a second booster. The Food and Drug Administration’s action Tuesday now opens a third Pfizer shot to elementary-age kids, too -- at least five months after their last dose. There is one more hurdle. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must decide whether to formally recommend the booster for this age group.
Election 2022: Pennsylvania, North Carolina hold key races
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump faces the strongest test yet of his ability to shape a new generation of congressional Republicans. GOP primary voters in Pennsylvania and North Carolina are deciding Tuesday whether to rally around the ex-president's choices for critical U.S. Senate seats. Trump’s preferred candidate in North Carolina’s GOP Senate primary, congressman Ted Budd, is expected to best a packed field. In Pennsylvania’s GOP race for governor, Doug Mastriano was leading before Trump backed him. Trump's pick in Pennsylvania's GOP Senate primary, TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz, could struggle against far-right opponent Kathy Barnette. Trump calls Oz tough and smart. Kentucky, Oregon and Idaho also vote Tuesday.
Abortion resistance braces for demands of a post-Roe future
When desperate people can’t obtain abortions near home -- when they need plane tickets, bus fare, babysitters -- they reach out to groups like the Midwest Access Coalition. The demand has become staggering. And is expected to grow exponentially if the U.S., Supreme Court guts Roe v. Wade. Already, state after state has tightened restrictions, pushing pregnant people further from home, for some hundreds of miles away. Helpless to prevent the coming crisis, the groups' goal is to assist abortion seekers one by one, either legally by helping them travel, or illegally if that’s what it eventually comes down to.
Suspect charged in deadly California church shooting
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors have charged the suspect in the California church shooting with one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder. Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer also announced Tuesday that 68-year-old David Chou of Las Vegas faces four counts of possessing destructive devices with intent to kill or harm. Arraignment is expected later Tuesday. Authorities have said Chou is a U.S. citizen who grew up in Taiwan and was motivated by hatred of Taiwanese people. Chou is accused of opening fire during a Sunday luncheon for members of a Taiwanese Presbyterian church in the city of Laguna Woods. A doctor who heroically charged the gunman was killed and five other people were wounded.
Girlfriend: Man accused in Dallas attack had Asian delusions
DALLAS (AP) — The girlfriend of a man arrested in Dallas in a shooting that wounded three women in a Koreatown hair salon told police he had been admitted to health facilities because he was having delusions about Asian Americans. That's according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by The Dallas Morning News. Jail records show 37-year-old Jeremy Theron Smith, who is Black, faces three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The FBI said Tuesday that it has opened a federal hate crime investigation into the shooting. Police chief Eddie Garcia is expected to release additional information about the arrest later Tuesday.
N. Zealand attack survivor heartbroken by Buffalo killings
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A survivor of the New Zealand mosque shootings three years ago says extremists should see that the violence that day achieved none of the gunman's aims. Temel Atacocugu continues to recover from his wounds and said he was heartbroken over the shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. The man accused of killing 10 Black people in Buffalo was allegedly inspired by the New Zealand shootings. Brenton Tarrant subscribed to the white supremacist “great replacement” theory and aimed to sow racial discord that would force nonwhite people to leave. But if anything, the opposite happened in New Zealand as Muslims and non-Muslims embraced each other in a shared and enduring grief.
Cannes Film Festival opens with Zelenskyy video address
CANNES, France (AP) — After a canceled 2020 edition and a scaled back gathering last year, the Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday which what organizers hope will be a fully resuscitated French Riviera spectacular. Formally attired stars including Eva Longoria, Julianne Moore and Forest Whitaker were among those streaming down the Cannes’ famous red carpet Tuesday for the opening of the 75th Cannes Film Festival. The war in Ukraine was at the forefront, with a video address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy playing Tuesday night before the premiere of Michel Hazanavicius’ zombie comedy “Final Cut.” More star-studded premieres — “Top Gun: Maverick!” “Elvis!” — await over the next 12 days.

Through good times and bad, in the world of athletics, much as in the larger game of life itself, having strong, caring and knowledgeable leadership is quite important.
This spring season, the Pope John High School girl’s lacrosse program is fortunate to feature four captains on the roster who are there to be of assistance to their teammates through big victories or even tough losses: Mallory Morelli, Madison Maguire, Caitlin Carothers and Mia Lauzon. All four captains are members of the graduating class of 2022.
“All four of the seniors have different characteristics of being a leader,’’ Pope John head coach Kyla Kelly said. “The seniors this year are a special group. They not only started as freshman together, but they also went through COVID together. Skipping a season, then coming out the following season with only 14 athletes takes heart.
“They led the team as juniors and wanted nothing more but to be successful this season. They have taken the freshmen and sophomores under their wings and have been patient teaching them the game.’’
Each of the senior captains are getting the job done not only on the field but most critically in the class room as well.
“Madison just achieved statistics in the last few games,100 points, goals, draw wins and ground balls,’’ Kelly said. “It’s an impressive feat for missing a season. [They] have been crushing the academics as they have been hard at work with AP testing.’’
Coach Kelly definitely made the right call in having Carothers, Lauzon, Maguire and Morelli as the captains this year.
“The four senior captains have come out on day one with leadership skills,’’ Kelly said. “They made all of the new girls feel welcomed and helped those that were just starting out. As student athletes, their confidence and skill has improved so much. Taking a stand on the field with confidence is huge.’’
“Giving suggestions, showing by doing and being patient are just a few ways the girls have helped lead the team. It takes one unit to be successful, discipline and structure equal hard work.’’
Through 16 games, Pope John had an overall record of 7-9 and they were 3-3 in the NJIGLL Colonial North Division.
“A huge shout out to the underclassmen who have stepped up to play at the varsity level,’’ Kelly said. “It is not easy coming in as a freshman or first year sophomore and playing a higher level of lacrosse. They have stepped up to the challenge.
“We have a young team this year that has really come together and worked for a common goal, building the program, looking forward to seeing them develop over the next few seasons.’’ | https://www.townshipjournal.com/news/sports/pope-john-s-girls-lacrosse-captains-demonstrate-strong-leadership-CM2068361 | 2022-05-17T19:35:27Z | https://www.townshipjournal.com/news/sports/pope-john-s-girls-lacrosse-captains-demonstrate-strong-leadership-CM2068361 | false | 4 |
Pandemic wedding blues: Fewer US couples said ‘I do’ in 2020
NEW YORK (AP) — Far fewer Americans said “I do” during the first year of the pandemic when wedding plans were upended, a new report finds.
There were 1.7 million weddings in 2020, a drop of 17% from the year before and the lowest recorded since 1963, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
The plunge was not exactly a surprise since the U.S. marriage rate had been on the decline since 2016.
The pandemic threw many marriage plans into disarray, with communities ordering people to stay at home and banning large gatherings to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
The CDC found that 46 states reported declines in marriage rates in 2020. Hawaii saw the largest drop in the country — 48% — followed by California, which fell 44%.
Nevada — long a popular wedding destination — continued to have the nation’s highest marriage rate. But even that state saw a 19% decline in the first year of the pandemic. Four states reported marriage increases — Montana, Texas, Alabama, and Utah, the CDC said.
The U.S. divorce rate also declined in 2020, though not as dramatically.
The latest report is based on marriage certificates filed with state and local governments. The CDC has not yet released data on marriages in 2021.
Wedding planners last year said they saw a rebound, with the rescheduling of postponed ceremonies. But some experts said it’s hard to know when U.S. marriages might return to pre-pandemic levels.
“It’s not been a great time for romance,” said John Santelli, a professor at Columbia University’s school of public health.

New York donors give $1M to 3 Tulsa Race Massacre survivors
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The three known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre are receiving a $1 million donation from a New York philanthropic organization.
Business for Good co-founders Ed and Lisa Mitzen say 108-year-old Viola Ford Fletcher, 107-year-old Lessie Benningfield Randle and 101-year-old Hughes Van Ellis will share the donation.

The three and descendants of victims are currently suing the City of Tulsa and other entities for reparations for the destruction and lost wealth as a result of the massacre in which a white mob that killed hundreds of Black residents and destroyed what had been the nation’s most prosperous Black business district.

Everybody has bad days. Even Mr. Wonderful.
But every tough situation in Kevin O'Leary's life, he says, is typically counterbalanced by something else. That's "because I live life with a portfolio approach," O'Leary, 67, tells CNBC Make It. "I don't risk it all in any one thing."
The star of ABC's "Shark Tank" and chairman of O'Shares ETFs says he approaches his life — both personally and professionally — the same way he approaches building a successful financial portfolio, by engaging in many different pursuits at once. The same theory, he says, applies to choosing which specific endeavors to take on.
"I only pursue things today that mean something to me," he says.
That theory has helped define his entire career: For O'Leary, the choice to lead a largely entrepreneurial life, from founding a software company that eventually sold for $4.2 billion to investing in a wide variety of start-ups today, is deeply meaningful because it enables his "pursuit of personal freedom."
That sense of freedom has been a goal of his ever since he was fired during his first day of work as an ice cream scooper at a mall store called Magoo's Ice Cream Parlour, he says. As O'Leary recounts it: The store's owner asked him to scrape gum off the floor, he declined and was promptly dismissed. The experience taught him to build a life where he could "control my own destiny," he says.
"The whole idea of entrepreneurship isn't greed for money," he adds. "You work really hard so that one day, you don't have to answer the phone."
Money Report
On any given day, O'Leary says, he might be notified at 5 a.m. that one of his investments is about to go bankrupt or otherwise face an impending disaster. "But that call can be interrupted by somebody saying we just got an acquisition offer for $100 million in cash," he says, noting that the cycle of good news constantly counterbalancing bad news "happens every day."
The key, he warns, is to avoid getting too caught up in the lows or the highs — which can be difficult when everything you pursue is personally meaningful to you. Some things will work out, he says. Others won't.
"But I keep moving forward," he says.

Police: Man wanted for child porn-related charges tackled and arrested
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) - A man in Tennessee who was on the run from police since April was arrested Monday.
The Metro Nashville Police Department confirmed the arrest of 37-year-old Ashley Shannon Wright, who was wanted for two felony warrants for sexual exploitation of minors.
Thanks to a Crime Stoppers tip, Wright was spotted by detectives leaving a storage unit, police said.
After he was spotted, Wright was followed from the air and drove to the nearby Sam’s Club, WSMV reported. An undercover team then moved in and tackled Wright in the parking lot as he left his vehicle. Officers added that he was carrying a gun at the time of the arrest.
Detectives began investigating Wright after the department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit said it received information that sexual images depicting children were on an internet account linked to him. Investigators said they uncovered hundreds of additional photos later on his home computer after obtaining a search warrant.
In early May, officers reported that they had spotted Wright in a Honda Odyssey van and tried to stop it. Wright evaded arrest at that time.
Upon being apprehended, Wright was booked on the sexual exploitation of a minor counts and charges of felony evading arrest, reckless driving, and misdemeanor possession of meth. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $55,000.

The Coastal fire in Laguna Niguel is now fully contained, Orange County Fire Authority officials announced Tuesday morning, May 17.
The fire that ignited on May 11 and burned through 200 acres, while destroying 20 multi-million dollar homes and damaging 11 others, had been completely secured by fire crews, OCFA officials said in a 8:36 a.m. Tweet. The blaze began near a water treatment facility along Aliso Woods Canyon May 11 at 2:44 p.m.
Two firefighters were injured while battling the blaze that drew fire personnel from throughout Orange County.
With great effort from your OCFA firefighters in partnership with other Orange County fire departments and out of county resources, including CAL FIRE, the #CoastalFire is now 100% contained. The vegetation fire began in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park on the afternoon >>> pic.twitter.com/B9vJ2nVfJB
— OCFA PIO (@OCFireAuthority) May 17, 2022
The fire forced the evacuation of about 900 homes, OCFA officials said. Residents whose houses were left in tact were allowed to return home beginning May 15. Others returned to find gutted buildings and ashes.
“While homes were destroyed, there were countless that were saved by the tireless and coordinated work of firefighters,” OCFA officials wrote on social media.
No residents were hurt, but two firefighters were hurt while battling the blaze. They were recovering and “doing well,” OCFA officials said.
The blaze spread quickly up the canyon toward Coronado Pointe Drive, Vista Court, and Via Las Rosa. Some were told by firefighters that they had mere seconds to flee as smoke and flames consumed the hillside.
Winds fanned the flames and sent embers into palm trees, attics and crawl spaces. However, OCFA Chief Brian Fennessy noted the winds were not especially strong the day the fire started. In public comments, he attributed the explosive nature of the Coastal fire to the cumulative impact of years of drought as a result of climate change.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. There had been reports of “circuit activity” near its origin point, Southern California Edison officials said in a statement released late on May 11. | https://www.pe.com/2022/05/17/coastal-fire-in-laguna-niguel-now-100-contained/ | 2022-05-17T19:47:30Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/05/17/coastal-fire-in-laguna-niguel-now-100-contained/ | false | 10 |

It comes after a "Corrie insider" told Digital Spy: "While Sean is smitten, there may be more to Frank than meets the eye.
"Frank went to school with local undertaker George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley), who knows details about his past and is wary of him.
"Is Frank the same guy that George knew all those years ago, or has he changed his ways?"
It's a busy few weeks for Sean on the cobbles as Liam McCheyne has confirmed that he will be returning to the ITV soap as Sean's son Dylan Wilson.

While he added on Instagram: "Can't wait to get back to work on the 17th super excited, been a long time coming @coronationstreet Hopefully many memories and fun to come!!!!!"

Mets, Cardinals bring some history into series-opening doubleheader
With thunderstorms expected throughout Monday afternoon and evening, the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals had to wait longer than expected to see if the fireworks between the teams would continue.
After Monday’s scheduled opener of a four-game series was rained out, the Mets are slated to host the Cardinals in a straight doubleheader Tuesday afternoon. The first game will begin at 3:10 p.m. EST and will be followed immediately after by the nightcap.
Neither team announced the order of its Tuesday starters following Monday’s rainout, though the Mets confirmed right-handers Taijuan Walker (1-0, 3.00 ERA) and Trevor Williams (0-2, 5.73 ERA) will start in some order.
Right-hander Miles Mikolas (3-1, 1.49 ERA) and left-hander Steven Matz (3-3, 6.40 ERA) are lined up to start for St. Louis.
The weather provided both teams an extra chance to rest after eventful games Sunday. The host Mets left the bases loaded in the ninth inning of an 8-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners, while the iconic St. Louis trio of Adam Wainwright, Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols made some unique bits of history as the Cardinals routed the visiting San Francisco Giants, 15-6.
The tandem of Wainwright and Molina became the winningest battery in history by earning their 203rd victory together while Pujols made the first mound appearance of his 22-year career by allowing four runs in the ninth inning.
While the sight of Pujols pitching elicited some laughter, nobody was chuckling April 27, when a three-game series between the Mets and Cardinals in St. Louis ended with a benches-clearing skirmish.
After Cardinals left-hander Genesis Cabrera hit J.D Davis in the left foot in the top of the eighth — the fifth hit by pitch absorbed by the Mets in the series and the major league-leading 19th time they’d been plunked in 2022 — New York right-hander Yoan Lopez went up-and-in with his first pitch to Nolan Arenado in the bottom half.
Arenado began yelling at Lopez before the dugouts and bullpens emptied.
“When you come up top like that and jeopardize someone’s career and life, yeah, I take exception to that,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said.
Arenado was ejected along with first base coach Stubby Clapp, who tackled Mets first baseman Pete Alonso during the scrum. Alonso was hit in the helmet the night before by Kodi Whitley’s pitch.
“I’ll let them handle their players,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “I know our player got hit in the head and went to first base.”
Walker earned the win May 12, when he allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings as the Mets beat the Washington Nationals, 4-1. Williams, who is filling in for the injured Tylor Megill in the Mets’ rotation, last pitched on May 11, when he relieved Megill and threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in an 8-3 loss to the Nationals.
Mikolas earned the win May 11, when he gave up one run over seven innings as the Cardinals beat the Baltimore Orioles, 10-1. Matz took the defeat May 12 after surrendering three runs over 6 2/3 innings in a 3-2 loss to the Orioles.
Walker is 1-1 with a 2.52 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals. Williams is 4-6 with a 5.64 ERA in 19 games (14 starts) against St. Louis.
Mikolas is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three games (two starts) against the Mets. Matz is 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA in two starts against New York, for whom he played from 2015 through 2020.

NEW YORK , May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues its investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Rollins, Inc.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On October 28, 2020, Rollins disclosed that a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation had been initiated and believed the SEC's focus to be how accruals and reserves were established at period ends and their impact on reported earnings going as far back as January 2015.
Then on February 26, 2021, Rollins announced that an internal investigation into the same matters found "a significant deficiency in the Company's internal controls relating to the documentation and review of accounting entries for certain reserves and accruals." On this news, Rollins share prices fell $0.87, or 2.5%, to close at $33.17 per share on February 26, 2021, damaging investors.
Then on April 18, 2022, the SEC announced that Rollins agreed to pay $8 million to settle the charges that Rollins made unsupported reductions to its accounting reserves to improperly boost its earnings per share. On this news, Rollins share price fell $0.55, or approximately 1.7%, to close at $34.29 on April 18, 2022, damaging investors.

A group fighting homophobia in soccer has called on the French league and Paris Saint-Germain to ask player Idrissa Gueye for an explanation after he missed a game last week amid reports that he refused to play because he did not want to wear a rainbow-colored number on the back of his jersey.
The Senegal midfielder traveled with his teammates to Montpellier last weekend for Saturday’s French league game in the southern city but did not play, with PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino citing “personal reasons” to justify his absence on the field.
For the second consecutive season, professional clubs in the country had been invited to label their players’ shirts with colored numbers using the rainbow flag, the symbol of the LGBTQ movement.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the incident, Gueye did not play because he did not want to wear a rainbow-colored number on the back of his shirt. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the player has not yet commented publicly on the incident.
French radio RMC first reported on the reasons why Gueye skipped the match.
The Rouge Direct group said in a message posted on Twitter that PSG and the league should not exclude the possibility of sanctioning Gueye.
“Homophobia is not an opinion but a crime,” the group said.
The case has become a political issue in both Senegal and France.
Senegal’s President Macky Sall tweeted his support to Gueye, writing in French: “I support Idrissa Gana Gueye. His religious convictions must be respected.”
The country’s former prime minister Abdoul Mbaye also threw his support behind Gueye, saying the PSG player “is not homophobic. He does not want his image to be used to promote homosexuality. Leave him alone.”
Homosexual relationships are considered a crime in Senegal and can be punished with one to five years in prison.
Valerie Pecresse, the conservative candidate in the French presidential election last month, joined the criticism of Gueye.
“The players of a soccer club, and those of PSG in particular, are identification figures for our young people,” she wrote on Twitter. “They have a duty to set an example. A refusal by Idrissa Gana Gueye to join the fight against homophobia could not remain without sanction!”
L’Equipe newspaper reported that Gueye had already missed the corresponding match last season when all teams wore shirts with the rainbow, citing a bout of gastroenteritis.
Homophobic chants, often heard at French league matches, have been tolerated for a long time by many club officials, and soccer authorities have struggled to find the appropriate ways of tackling the issue. The French league, however, launched an action plan three years ago allowing spectators to report sexist, homophobic or racist incidents they witness.

Nestle is flying baby formula into America as shortage continues
Nestlé is rushing baby formula into the United States via airfreight in a bid to ease a nationwide shortage that is unnerving parents around the country.
In a statement to CNN on Tuesday, Nestlé said it is flying in some baby formula produced outside the United States, including Gerber Good Start Extensive HA from the Netherlands and Alfamino from Switzerland.
Nestlé said it prioritized those products because they serve a "critical medical purpose" as they are intended for babies with cow's milk protein allergies. The company had already been importing both of these formulas, but Nestlé said it is now expediting shipments to America.
"We moved shipments up and rushed via air to help fill immediate needs," the company said in the statement.
News of the decision to fly formula into the United States was first reported by Reuters.
Nestlé said that Gerber is a "small player" in the infant formula market in the United States, but it is committed to doing "everything we can to help" get parents and caregivers the formula they need.
Beyond airfreighting some formula, Nestlé said it is running formula factories at capacity and accelerated product availability to retailers, online sellers and hospitals for the most vulnerable.
The Biden administration is stepping up its co-ordination with the industry to try to address the shortage.
"The White House is having ongoing conversations with the four major infant formula manufacturers -- Reckitt, Abbott, Nestle/Gerber, and Perrigo -- to work with them to identify transportation, logistical, and supplier hurdles to increasing production of formula at their U.S.- and FDA-approved facilities, to expand the amount and speed of FDA-approved formula being shipped into the country, and ensure that formula is quickly moving to retailers from factories," a White House official said Monday. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/nestle-is-flying-baby-formula-into-america-as-shortage-continues-1.17799588 | 2022-05-17T19:53:15Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/nestle-is-flying-baby-formula-into-america-as-shortage-continues-1.17799588 | false | 5 |

Jordan Spieth needs only the PGA Championship to complete his career Grand Slam, and he'll be paired in the first two days with two men who have won the PGA multiple times -- Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy, ranked No. 7 in the world, and No 8. Spieth will tee off with Woods in the marquee pairing at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla., at 9:11 a.m. ET on Thursday and at 2:36 p.m. Friday.
Together, the group has 115 PGA Tour wins, 22 major championships and five FedEx Cups.
Spieth, 28, finished second in the PGA in 2015 when he was the hottest player in golf, winning the Masters and the U.S. Open that year. He added The Open championship in 2017.
McIlroy, 33, won PGA titles in 2012 and 2014 for two of his four wins in majors.
Woods, a four-time winner, has won 15 major tournaments. He is feeling better as he continues to recover from a serious leg injury sustained in a car accident in February 2021.
"It's only going to keep getting stronger," Woods told reporters Sunday. "The more I use it, the more strength it gains. Am I ever going to have full mobility? No. Never again. But I'll be able to get stronger. It's going to ache, but that's the way it's going to be."
This isn't the only high-profile group at the PGA Championship: the top three players in the world also are paired together.
World No. 1 and pre-tournament betting favorite Scottie Scheffler is paired with No. 2 Jon Rahm of Spain and No. 3 Collin Morikawa, and will highlight Thursday's afternoon wave, teeing off at 2:36 p.m. They'll start at 9:11 a.m. on Friday.
Three Americans ranked in the top 12 -- Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson and Patrick Cantlay -- will tee off at 2:14 p.m. ET on Thursday and at 8:49 a.m. ET the next day.

Opinion
The Liberals have ‘boganised’ as their base goes progressive
Julie Szego
Author and freelance journalist“I like fighting Tories.”
So said Anthony Albanese in February 2012 when he declared he’d be backing Kevin Rudd over Julia Gillard during Labor’s turbulent last stint in government.
They were simpler times.
A decade on, the slimmed-down, spruced-up Albanese projects less socialist street fighter than do-it-yourself man. Although, we have seen flashes of the old Albo – and the old Labor of “the fair go” – during the past week with his rhetorical push for a minimum wage boost.
As for the Tories, where do they even live these days?
Some weeks back I satirised Tory loyalists in Melbourne’s “blue-ribbon” suburb of Brighton, after state Liberal Wendy Lovell questioned the wisdom of putting social housing in Brighton’s “best street” because, she said, the poor wouldn’t fit in.
Since then, I’ve had to check my smugness. If the polls are accurate, the federal electorate of Goldstein, in which Brighton sits, will evict Tory Tim Wilson for “teal” independent Zoe Daniel.
The prospect of dealignment in Australian politics is discombobulating if, like me, you’re invested in certainties: safe seats, blue and red. Black and white, I am – so rigid I’d say I was on the spectrum except my frame of reference struggles to accommodate the very notion of a spectrum, which maybe proves the point.
I’m stuck in the ideological zeitgeist of the 1950s or ’60s when most people voted along class lines. Before the educated, professional class, what French economist Thomas Piketty calls the “Brahmin left,” drifted to left-of-centre parties. Before the poor and less educated gravitated to populists extolling fireside values of faith, family and country.
As gradually as a glacier thaws, the Liberal Party in its bid for the populist vote has “boganised”. (A term I picked up from the Murdoch press.) Simultaneously, we’ve seen the party’s traditional voters become more socially liberal as the younger generations attend universities where they imbibe Marxist, feminist and post-colonial critiques of fireside values.
Again: class isn’t entirely dead as an electoral force. The socially liberal Liberals might welcome refugees, but wealth redistribution … err … not so much. Thus, the Climate 200 candidate for the NSW seat of Wentworth, Allegra Spender, talks up pro-business tax reforms. Meanwhile, Daniel, in an interview with The Age and the Herald, couldn’t say if she’d welcome more public housing in Brighton.
But the fact remains: the independents are targeting Liberal seats to protest Liberal policies. If they’re not seeking to kick the party from power, they’re at the least aiming to emasculate it. So, while the Liberal voters who intend to defect to independents on Saturday might see themselves as only partly out of the closet, no amount of squinting can obscure the line they’ll be crossing.
The Liberals are also experimenting with political transcendence, if Josh Frydenberg’s campaign launch in Kooyong a few weeks ago is any indication. While the media reports focused on his revenge-of-the-mother-in-law psychodrama with Monique Ryan, far more intriguing, in my view, was the vibe of the thing.
The warm-up acts comprised what we might call “voices from Kooyong,” regular folks rhapsodising their conscientious local member. One was a classic Liberal small-business pitch: a dry-cleaner crediting JobKeeper for sustaining his business during the pandemic.
But we also heard from a widow campaigning for stroke victims and a mother who secured National Disability Insurance Scheme services for her son with Frydenberg’s help. And from campaign volunteer Phil Elwood, a man who does an extraordinary rendition of a kookaburra and sulphur-crested cockatoo, who is a resident in community housing — making him the sort of resident Daniel isn’t sure she wants to welcome to Brighton. He said his relationship with Frydenberg broke a lifetime habit of voting Labor.
This was a parade of battlers and the marginalised up against aloof bureaucracies. Not a whiff of the professional elites whose votes the Treasurer’s vying for. It’s as if the only way the Liberals can retain the support of these newly radical, self-hating elites is by disavowing any affinity with them. Or by daring them to pronounce the likes of Elwood deluded for acting against their own interests in backing the slash-and-burn Liberals.
Or maybe I’m drawing a long bow.
Regardless, Frydenberg is associating himself with the underdog – which is no doubt how he sees himself this election – while Ryan, former director of neurology at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital, hammers status and authority by constantly referring to herself as “doctor”.
The latter can also be said of Michelle Ananda-Rajah, Labor’s candidate for the wealthy Victorian electorate of Higgins: an infectious diseases expert, her campaign photograph features a stethoscope around her neck, as if she’s angling for a job in a hospital rather than in parliament.
Perhaps she’s symbolically matching incumbent Katie Allen, a paediatrician and former heavyweight in medical research. Perhaps there’s some COVID-era messaging about Labor heeding science and Scott Morrison humouring anti-lockdown bogans. Perhaps it’s a bit of both.
All that said, if this new dealignment in Australian politics ends the policy constipation on climate change, the shattering of my political certainties is a small price to pay. Still: pity my confused soul.
For if Tories are no longer Tories, then I’m no longer sure who Albo’s fighting, assuming he still has some fight leftover.

Plans for new windfarm substation approved
Elgan Hearn, local democracy reporter
Plans to build a substation to collect and distribute electricity created by a windfarm near Carno have been approved by Powys planners.
Sion Thomas of Amegni Renewables Ltd had lodged a planning application to build an electric substation, control building, parking area and an underground cable at Carno wind farm.
The proposal is part of the extension or third phase to the windfarm which is also known as “Carno III” and consists of 13 turbines.
These turbines were to have a maximum height of 126.5 metres and the ability to create 41.6 MW (megawatts) of electricity.
An amendment to the consent means the wind-turbines can be nearly 150 metres high to help “maximise” the wind farm’s efficiency.
Originally the infrastructure was given permission along with the wind-turbines in 2017, but due to changes in where the buildings should go, a fresh application was needed.
Control room
The control room will house the switchgear, metering, control, and communication equipment required to operate the wind farm and will be placed inside the fencing of the proposed substation area.
And in front of the control building there will be a hard-standing area for vehicle parking.
Powys planning officer Gwyn Humphreys said: “The current application seeks consent for the erection of the substation associated with Carno III in a location approximately 100 metres distant from the previously approved location.
“The reason for the new location is due to preferable ground conditions and more space being available.”
Mr Humphreys said that the “principle of development” had already been accepted by the previous decision in 2017.
He added that it was important to note that the substation is slightly bigger than what had originally proposed.
“It is noted that the proposed substation is slightly larger in scale compared to that previously approved, and it is also important to note its new proposed location.”
Mr Humphreys said: ” The proposed development fundamentally complies with relevant planning policy and the recommendation is one of conditional consent.”
The village of Carno is 4.5 kilometres to the northeast and the town of Llanidloes 8.5 kilometres to the southeast of the site.
The Carno I Wind Farm was developed by RWE Npower and became operational in 1996.
The site consists of 56 wind turbines with a total capacity of 33.6 MW.
The Carno II Wind Farm was developed by Amegni and became operational in 2009.
The site consists of 12 Siemens wind turbines and has a total capacity of 15.6 MW.

We need many more wind farms rather than nuclear power stations in Cymru. We are way behind Scotland, Denmark and other countries in developing wind power. NIMBYs describe wind turbines as “unsightly”, but I think that they are a beautiful legacy for our children and grandchildren (I am aged 76!) rather than the coal waste heaps I grew up seeing every day. | https://nation.cymru/news/plans-for-new-windfarm-substation-approved/ | 2022-05-17T20:00:10Z | https://nation.cymru/news/plans-for-new-windfarm-substation-approved/ | true | 1 |

HP deriving value from data with ThoughtSpot
After experimenting with a variety of BI platforms, the computer giant found success with the analytics vendor's platform given its ability to handle scale.
LAS VEGAS -- After years struggling to get value from its data, HP finally found success with ThoughtSpot.
HP Inc., founded in 1939 and based in Palo Alto, Calif., is comprised of the hardware device, software and services divisions of the former Hewlett-Packard, which was split in 2015 with the company's enterprise product and business services divisions renamed Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
As of January 2021, HP was the world's second-largest PC vendor in terms of sales, trailing only Lenovo, and in 2021 it ranked 56th on the Fortune 500, just behind Prudential Financial and ahead of Raytheon Technologies.
ThoughtSpot, meanwhile, is an analytics vendor founded in 2012 and based in Sunnyvale, Calif., whose software uses augmented intelligence and machine learning to enable customers to search and gain insights from data using natural language.
The journey
Despite its history of technological innovation, in 2018 HP was grappling with the problem of how to derive value from its data and turn it into actionable insights.
With its massive size, the company produces copious amounts of data, and analytics platform after analytics platform was unable to handle HP's scale, according to Juergen Kallinger, vice president and head of reporting and analytics at HP.
"We knew the existing tools were not working," he said.
HP tried Qlik, Microsoft Power BI and Tableau in succession, according to Kallinger, first loading all of HP's Excel data into Qlik, then moving much of it to Power BI, and finally moving some of it to Tableau.
But each time, because of the amount of data HP was generating, the vendor was being forced to downsize its dashboards to make them fit within the limits of what the different BI platforms could handle. In addition, HP was dissatisfied with the user experience of its BI platforms, Kallinger noted.
"Finally, we said, 'This needs to stop,'" he said. "We didn't want to introduce another tool, but at the same time, we knew the current approach wasn't working. We were just creating more and more reports, and the existing tools weren't able to handle the volume of data."
By chance, four years ago, Kallinger received a marketing email from ThoughtSpot. And given the struggles HP had been having with a succession of vendors, he decided to respond and began an exploratory conversation with ThoughtSpot.
Juergen KallingerVice president and head of reporting and analytics, HP
ThoughtSpot told HP it could handle data at any scale. In addition, the analytics vendor's natural language search user experience was intriguing, so Kallinger decided to give ThoughtSpot a chance.
But rather than fully migrate to ThoughtSpot and move yet again from one BI platform to another, HP decided to start slowly while continuing to work with its other vendors.
HP's relationship with ThoughtSpot began with a proof-of-concept experiment, and after some initial success, HP added more applications. And now, four years later, HP is nearing the point at which it is ready to make ThoughtSpot its primary BI platform.
"We're on the path to turn ThoughtSpot into an enterprise-wide standard," Kallinger said.
Increased speed
What HP has found since first experimenting with ThoughtSpot is increased speed, according to Kallinger.
ThoughtSpot promised speed no matter the amount of data, but because of HP's past experience, Kallinger wanted to see the platform in action. And quickly, with that first proof-of-concept project and subsequent experiments, Kallinger said he found that ThoughtSpot could deliver on its promise.
"Even if we sent large amounts of data, it could still handle it without any kind of performance limitations," Kallinger said. "That was the first good sign, because usually [size] was where we would struggle with other tools."
Beyond the performance of the platform itself, ThoughtSpot's user experience has been a benefit to HP. The lack of complexity has enabled HP to execute projects much faster than it was able to with other platforms, reducing what had previously taken months to just a few days, according to Kallinger.
Before adopting ThoughtSpot, a typical analytics project -- HP launches 250 to 300 analytics projects per year, Kallinger said -- began with loading data and designing a dashboard over the course of about three months. Then came a lengthy feedback phase during which the dashboard got modified, and finally, about nine months after first launching the project, a finished dashboard was ready for consumption.
"Now, with ThoughtSpot, we're at the pace of days from idea to production," Kallinger said. "That, on its own, is why so many teams within HP are asking for more. It's the speed of delivery on top of the actual performance."
The result of drastically reducing the amount of time it takes to make data actionable is efficiency, according to Kallinger.
HP is now able to build more analytics reports and dashboards with fewer people, enabling employees who would have spent months modeling data for a dashboard or report to devote time to other tasks. And perhaps more importantly, it has enabled the people who would have been dedicated for months on a project -- employees who would have been working late to try to meet deadlines -- to have a better quality of life.
"One thing I've heard over the last two years is that we've given people their lives back," Kallinger said. "Everyone used to be working 24/7, so giving our delivery teams a tool that lets them deliver something within their normal workday is a big deal."
Future plans
Currently, HP has about 2,200 employees using ThoughtSpot, 900 of whom use the platform every week. Over the next few months, the computer giant plans to nearly double that to 4,000 users, with a goal of eventually having between 8,000 and 10,000 using ThoughtSpot by the end of 2023, according to Kallinger.
"We want it to be community grown and not just deploy it," he said. "We want users to ask for it before we deploy it, but we're seeing that demand. We've solved the problems of productivity and data insight and user experience, and ThoughtSpot has been the solution. But we're taking a different approach and not [forcing it on users]."
HP uses ThoughtSpot in a hybrid format. The analytics vendor catered exclusively to an on-premises customer base until 2020 when it overhauled its platform to make it cloud-first. HP, meanwhile, has eight decades of history, and though it is now using multiple cloud storage platforms, much of its data remains on premises, so it connects ThoughtSpot to both its on-premises databases as well as its cloud data storage repositories.
"We're going through a transformational effort with our cloud strategy and our reporting analytics strategy," Kallinger said. "We're trying to get rid of a vast majority of our tools to land on a small set of authoritative data sources."
ThoughtSpot won't be HP's only analytics platform going forward, but it will be one of most likely three. For example, HP will continue to use Power BI to deliver certain weekly reports. But for most of HP's other analytics needs, ThoughtSpot will be its platform of choice, according to Kallinger.
"For ad hoc insights, I see more and more going through ThoughtSpot," he said. "For everything other than specific, highly curated reports, I really see ThoughtSpot on the rise." | https://www.techtarget.com/searchbusinessanalytics/feature/HP-deriving-value-from-data-with-ThoughtSpot | 2022-05-17T20:06:14Z | https://www.techtarget.com/searchbusinessanalytics/feature/HP-deriving-value-from-data-with-ThoughtSpot | false | 1 |

As the blog notes, a strange sound coming from the AC unit is probably the most reliable and common early warning sign that something is amiss. This can include rattling, banging, pinging or gurgling from within the system.
"Call Peace Heating & Air Conditioning for 24-hour emergency AC service if you notice these noises," the blog notes, adding that it is typically a lot less expensive and more cost-effective to have air conditioner repair services done at the first indication of a problem.
A musty or damp smell emanating from the unit can also signify a problem that could include ice in the AC system or that the unit needs to have its drain cleaned out. If a business owner or homeowner notices smoke or the smell of something burning, the system and breaker should be turned off immediately.
Bad indoor air quality, visible ice on the unit and poor airflow are also signs that the AC should be serviced as soon as possible.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has signed into law a measure banning trans girls and women from playing in school sports consistent with their gender identity.
House Bill 4608, slammed by the Human Rights Campaign as a “discriminatory attack on transgender students,” was signed quietly on Monday by the Republican governor, who didn’t even announce it on social media, as he did with bills allowing early voting or granting additional leave for new parents, The Associated Press noted.
On Tuesday, he explained in a tweet why he had “proudly” signed the bill into law: “We have to do everything we can to protect the young men and women in our state who choose to pursue athletic competition,” he wrote.
Opponents say that the “cruel” bill was created to address a fabricated problem. Over the last five years, the South Carolina High School League, which handles the participation of trans students in sports, has dealt with less than a half-dozen cases — and each is looked at individually.
“HB 4608 is a shameful bill and a stain on Governor McMaster’s record,” Cathryn Oakley, HRC campaign state legislative director and senior counsel, said in a statement. “Transgender kids are playing school sports because it’s what kids often do to make friends, get exercise, and learn what it takes to be part of a team,” she added, noting that trans people have taken part in school sports for decades and their participation was never a problem.
“This issue is simply manufactured to further distract and divide us. This bill is not about fairness for women, it’s about attacking a marginalized group that is already bearing the weight of discrimination,” Oakley said.
According to the HRC, the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization, there are more than 320 anti-LGBTQ bills currently under consideration in state legislatures across the country. Of those, at least 140 directly affect trans people. Most of them focus on trans youth, banning kids from participating in sports or even receiving gender-affirming health care.
Recent data shows that 67% of South Carolinians support nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
Last year, South Carolina lawmakers rejected two similar bans, but earlier this month the Republican-dominated General Assembly finally approved the measure.
“History will remember Governor McMaster’s disregard for compassion, humanity, and basic human rights,” Oakley said.
Fifteen states have already enacted similar bans, according to the Movement Advancement Project. | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-south-carolina-governor-anti-trans-sports-ban-into-law-henry-mcmaster-20220517-ax6rnmlflne6pcl6fzp544ybxy-story.html | 2022-05-17T20:13:28Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-south-carolina-governor-anti-trans-sports-ban-into-law-henry-mcmaster-20220517-ax6rnmlflne6pcl6fzp544ybxy-story.html | false | 1 |

UPGRADE your kitchen for cheap with two simple kitchen products.
Home expert Sara posted a video revealing how to level up your kitchen space using two Target items that will cost you just $1 total.
First, the expert grabbed a plastic bowl and a plastic plate from Target.
Making sure they match, she grabbed a black plate and a black bowl, each of which only cost 50 cents.
“This project is only costing me $1,” she said.
She started off the DIY project by turning over the plastic bowl and squeezing glue around it.

“You’re going to use E6000 glue,” she said.
“Just throw it down on the bottom of the bowl.”
Next, she turned the plate upside down so the side you eat off of was laying on the table.
She then flipped the bowl over so it was right-side-up and stuck it in the center of the upside-down plate.

“I eyeballed this, I didn’t do any measuring,” she said.
“It’s not exact, but it looks pretty good.”
She then flipped the project over so that the bowl was used as a stand and the plate as a platter.
For just $1, she quickly created a small pillar stand that she could use near her kitchen sink to hold her soaps and scrubbers.
“It withstands soap and water,” she said.
Many viewers loved her cheap trick, saying: “Very cool!!!!!” And “Excellent idea thanks.”

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island lawmakers unveiled changes Tuesday to a bill to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana, revisions that aim to ensure the legislation passes the state's General Assembly.
The amended bill was released Tuesday in advance of committee votes scheduled for Wednesday. Both the House and Senate are expected to vote next week.
The bill now provides for the automatic expungement of any prior conviction for possession of cannabis that would be decriminalized by the legislation, without requiring a person to file a request, pay a fee or have a hearing. The expungements would occur by July 1, 2024, with an expedited process offered for anyone who wants to have their record expunged sooner. In the original bill, an expungement had to be requested.
The start date for recreational sales was pushed from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1. The amended bill would eliminate current fees charged to patients and caregivers for registration in the state’s medical marijuana program.
Lawmakers also changed how people would be appointed to the commission that would oversee the industry, to address concerns raised by the governor about separation of powers.
“The amended bill is a collaborative effort to address concerns about protecting medical use, ensuring fair governance and recognizing that we cannot make this transition without taking action to make whole the communities and individuals who have been punished for decades under prohibition,” said Democratic Sen. Joshua Miller, who is leading the legalization effort in the Senate, in a statement.
The bill proposes legalizing the sale and possession of up to 1 ounce of cannabis for adults, ages 21 and older, with no more than 10 ounces for personal use kept at a person's home. It would also allow residents to grow a small amount at home.
The amended bill keeps the proposed 10% state cannabis excise tax, which would be in addition to the 7% sales tax and 3% local tax for the municipality where the sale takes place. The number of cannabis retailers that would be allowed in Rhode Island remains the same as the original proposal, at 33. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Lawmakers-revise-bill-to-legalize-recreational-17179478.php | 2022-05-17T20:18:51Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Lawmakers-revise-bill-to-legalize-recreational-17179478.php | true | 12 |
California Program Could Loan First-Time Home Buyers 17% for Down Payment

The Burke County Board of Education met for day one of its annual Strategic Planning Session on Monday.
During the meeting, the board heard reports from a variety of school administrators and outside contractors, approved personnel reports and minutes of past meetings.
Brett Wilson presented a plan to help Burke County Public Schools teachers complete the LETRS program—a reading literacy education training program that meets a state requirement passed in 2021. According to the requirement, all pre-K through fifth grade must receive a qualifying evidence-based instruction program in the science of reading.
To help teachers complete the 160-hour program, Wilson proposed several calendar adjustments including four additional student half-days added to the proposed 2022-23 school year.
Wilson said several districts across the state are building in bonuses for teachers required to go through the program. Board members agreed that BCPS should factor bonuses into next year’s budget for teachers required to complete the training.

“I want to give them the most we can give them,” said Board Chair Wendi Craven. “They have worked so hard ...I would like to know what is the maximum we can give those 300 teachers.”
“If you’re asking people to do more, you’ve got to pay more,” Board Member Don Hemstreet agreed.
BCPS Finance Officer Keith Lawson was asked to prepare a report to help the board determine the maximum amount of extra money they can pay teachers who will go through LETRS. The proposed calendar adjustments will be voted on during the board’s final meeting of the 2021-22 school year in June.
Lawson also presented the board with a proposed school lunch price increase for the 2022-23 school year. According to Lawson, the Federal COVID-19 waivers that have allowed schools to offer free breakfasts and lunches to all students, regardless of income, are set to expire in June.
According to the proposal, school lunches would cost an additional 15 cents for students and 75 cents for adults. Even with the increases, this would still leave the district with an $88,000 operating loss. According to Lawson, the money would come from the district’s child nutrition fund, which currently has a $3.6 million surplus.
Board member Seth Hunt suggested freezing the costs of school lunches for the 2022-23 school year at their pre-pandemic levels and taking the extra money out of the child nutrition surplus.
“I’m going to have a hard time explaining why we’re raising prices and sitting on a $3.6 million surplus,” he said.
Board member Don Hemstreet said he also believes the board should wait another year and see how the surplus holds up.
Lawson said he proposed the modest increase this year to avoid having to hit families with a much larger increase in the future if inflation gets worse.
“It’s better to go up now than to wait until the economy is probably going to tank the way things are going,” board member Aaron Johnson said.
The proposal was added to the agenda for the next regular board meeting.
The Catawba Valley YMCA presented a report on the daycare sites it operates in nine BCPS schools. This school year is the first year these sites have been operated by the YMCA, and President and CEO Nat Auten characterized it as a success.
The YMCA was originally contracted to help reduce costs at BCPS daycares, which would have ballooned under the new state law that requires all state employees to make $15 per hour starting July 1.
In addition to allowing BCPS to take advantage of lower hourly wages, the partnership opens BCPS daycares to a myriad of grant and philanthropic funding opportunities that are available to the YMCA, but not to a public school district. The partnership also saves money on employee benefits, cutting those costs approximately in half, Lawson said.
Auten said the YMCA currently operates nine daycare sites with plans to open a 10th in George Hildebrand and has 20 part-time and 18 full-time employees.
Auten said the YMCA is working to transition the program from child care to an education program. He said they have also applied for a 21st century grant that would provide federal money to open a free site at Mountain View Elementary. The Mountain View site would concentrate on tutoring and raising academic achievement, he said.
The board heard a report on the county’s Career and Technical Education programs from Debbie Jennings, director of CTE for the district. Jennings said Burke County boasts one of the leading CTE programs in the region and ranked in the top 10 in several key metrics including credentials offered and credentials earned. The board also added two budgetary items to the agenda as action items and an alternative school accountability plan for the next meeting and received an update on the district’s organizational chart.
The second day of the Board of Education’s strategic planning session will begin at 9 a.m. at the Olive Hill Resource Center. The next regular meeting of the board is scheduled for Monday.

Executives at several companies that ET spoke with confirmed that the flexible working model, which was adopted in 2020 amid the nationwide lockdown to check the spread of the pandemic, is going to continue in the long run. Some companies like Mondelez and said they are hiring for permanent work-from-home (WFH) roles, while many others including , and are either following a location-agnostic approach for certain roles or embracing partial remote working model, with employees coming to office for a couple of days in a week, in the long run.
"While there is no change in salaries of existing workforce working in remote roles, those being hired for remote roles on a permanent basis are getting 15% lower salaries," said Aditya Mishra, chief executive of CIEL HR Services. The survey suggested that 10% of new hires are likely to be in permanent remote roles.
CIEL HR mapped about 600 companies across domains like IT, ITeS, ecommerce, BFSI, recruitment, consulting, and edtech with the help of close to 1,000 respondents.
"We are considering remote roles in a limited manner as we aim to stay agile and adopt practices and policies that best serve both our business and colleagues," said Shilpa Vaid, head, HR at Mondelez India. There is no pay differentiation between work from office and remote employees, she told ET.
Back in December 2020, steel major Tata Steel had implemented an 'Agile Working Model' policy. Under this, the job positions were classified into two categories: 'absolute work from home', wherein the employee can work from any location in India, and 'flexi work from home', wherein the officers who are required to be based out of a particular location can work from home for unlimited days in a year.
"We are hiring people for both kinds of positions based on the business needs. There is no differentiation in salary based on employees' availability at office," a Tata Steel spokesperson said.
Maruti Suzuki is following a hybrid model of working. "Flexibility has been induced in the system that encourages a model wherein productivity and efficiency could be maintained irrespective of the work location of the employee," Rajesh Uppal, member of the executive board at , told ET.
Most big organisations are providing permanent WFH to certain roles while others are working on a hybrid model, according to the CIEL survey.
As per its findings, over 50% of employees in the mid-sized IT/ITeS, banking, infrastructure, retail, chemical, logistics, and manufacturing sectors are working from offices.

Set for Spring-2023 Move-In
DETROIT, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dignitaries from around the area will gather for a groundbreaking ceremony in in historic Lafayette Park with Detroit developer, Mark Bennett, Mayor Mike Duggan, Council President Sheffield, MEDC representatives, business leaders, and elected officials on May 17 at 2 p.m. The event is a ceremonial groundbreaking on Lafayette West, a 318-unit, condominium and apartment community that will serve as a connecting point between Lafayette Park and the greater Downtown area on many fronts.
Located in Lafayette Park, the development is in walking distance to several area attractions, employment areas of the Central Business District, arenas and entertainment venues, the Eastern Market, the Dequindre Cut bicycle/walking path, the new Meijer Rivertown Market, and the River Walk, Detroit's beautiful riverfront park.
Lafayette West is a $150-million upscale, residential, condominium and apartment community, that will offer a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans ranging in size from 436 to 1,223 square feet, with secured and enclosed parking, gourmet kitchen appliances, a large state-of-the-art fitness center, swimming pool, electric vehicle charging stations for all vehicles, co-working, club room and social room, and more. Twenty percent (20%) of the 230 (46) apartments have below market rents to provide affordable housing. All of the affordable units are proportional to each building's unit/floorplan mix and are unrestricted as to location within the building.
"We saw this as an ideal opportunity to develop a unique community to contribute to the lives of the Lafayette Park neighborhood" said Mark Bennett, owner/developer. "Lafayette West offers differentiating amenities and is centrally located, while offering affordable living to Detroiters."
The development received a Brownfield TIFF which includes the City's portion of $11.2 million over 30 years as well as a 15-year NEZ including the City's portion of $5.3 million.
"Lafayette West is going to be a great addition to the Lafayette Park area, providing residents a beautiful neighborhood setting immediately outside of downtown," says Mayor Mike Duggan. "The fact that 20% of the apartment units will be reserved for people earning below the area average means that Detroiters of varying income levels will have the opportunity to live together in this beautiful new community."
The development is following the City's Executive Order on Detroiter hiring with a construction workforce made up of at least 51% Detroit residents and 30% of all construction-related contracts going to Detroit based businesses. The Development is being developed pursuant to a Community Benefits Ordinance (CBO) Agreement with the City of Detroit.
Mark Bennett and team are also co-developers of Exchange, a high-rise 165-unit residential development under construction in the Central Business District and lead equity investors in DuCharme Place, The Griswold, The Corner, The Kahn and Central Park Apartments.
Lafayette West partners and collaborators include: @Properties, Christie's International Real Estate, Brinker Construction, AM Higley, the City of Detroit, Wayne County, Fourmidable, MJBennett, Ghafari, Pappas Financial, Parini, Blaze Contracting, PEA, the Michigan Strategic Fund and Zoyes Creative.

Which men’s Crocs are best?
Many people are familiar with Crocs as comfortable shoes, but they’ve also earned a negative reputation as ugly shoes. However, they’ve evolved over the years and are now offered in several fashionable styles. And if you want something that’s also high-quality and durable, the Crocs Men’s Yukon Vista Clog is a top choice. It offers excellent grip on wet surfaces and has a sturdy vegan leather construction.
What to know before you buy men’s Crocs
Crocs come in many sizes
Although you won’t be doing any running or other high-impact physical activities, they should still fit you comfortably, especially if you plan on walking a lot while wearing them. Men’s Crocs range from size 4 to 17, and although they might feel stiff at first, they take some breaking in until they properly conform to the shape of your foot. Depending on the style, it might be advisable to purchase a size up, but it’s always good to consult with the official Crocs sizing chart.
Crocs are useful for work
Crocs are comfortable and provide excellent grip on wet surfaces, so they’re popular for work environments such as kitchens, hospitals, and other settings where employees are required to stand or walk for extended periods. However, before purchasing Crocs for work, check with your employer about footwear safety requirements.
Crocs now come in many styles
When you think of Crocs, you might think of the original clog shoe style, the most popular style of men’s Crocs. Clogs offer excellent comfort and are suitable for light activities such as walking.
Other popular types include sandals, flip-flops and slides. Also, although they’re less common, you can find Crocs modeled after boots and sneakers. Boots have a more robust build, making them ideal for walking on rugged trails, while sneakers are suitable for light to moderate jogging on smooth surfaces.
What to look for in quality men’s Crocs
Croslite material vs. rubber
Contrary to what some may believe, Crocs aren’t made with rubber. They’re made with a proprietary material known as Croslite. It’s something like a cross between foam and rubber and is what gives Crocs their durable build and comfortable fit. Although it’s long-lasting, it’s still lightweight, making Crocs suitable for wearing indoors and outdoors on warm days.
Unusual colors and prints
Crocs are available in hundreds of colors. You can find those with plain solid colors, but there are also those with unusual color patterns such as striped and polka dot, and others with prints such as camouflage and floral. There are also collaboration Crocs inspired by celebrities, but since they’re often limited-edition, their exclusivity makes them considerably more expensive than the average pair of Crocs.
More holes mean more breathability
All Crocs offer excellent ventilation, but if you plan to walk a lot or even jog in your Crocs, it’s best to wear shoes with as many perforations as possible. The more perforations your Crocs have, the better the airflow. However, be advised that more perforations also increase the chances of debris such as small rocks entering your shoes.
How much you can expect to spend on men’s Crocs
Slides and flip-flops usually cost $15-$30, but traditional clogs and other styles can cost $30-$50. Exclusive models or less common types such as boots and sneakers can cost $50-$100.
Men’s Crocs FAQ
How do you clean Crocs?
A. Crocs can be hand-washed quickly using soap and water to remove dirt and grime. Also, you can dry them with a cloth or leave them air drying, which doesn’t take long.
How long do Crocs last?
A. It depends on how often you wear them, but generally, they should last at least a couple of years if you wear them casually. If you wear them for work, the tread will naturally wear out faster, meaning you may have to replace them more often.

Caf Confederation Cup: Orlando Pirates legend Sebola believes Ncikazi and Davids not safe despite reaching final
Former Orlando Pirates forward Andries Sebola feels Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids’ future is “still on the line” even after guiding the Buccaneers to the Caf Confederation Cup final.
Pirates are just a game away from claiming their first continental trophy since 1996 when they won the Caf Super Cup.

Friday’s Confederation Cup final against 2019/20 champions RS Berkane could decide the future of Ncikazi and Davids.
This comes as the Soweto giants struggled on the domestic front from where they missed out on the Premier Soccer League title, Nedbank Cup and the MTN8.
“Now I do support them [Ncikazi and Davids], if they can win the Confederations Cup I will be the happiest man,” Sebola told KickOff.
“But we must be fair, in the domestic league situation it was not right, and it was not good for them. They have to make sure in a good way they qualify for the Champions League because this Confederations Cup doesn't suit a big club like Pirates.
“I’m happy for them, but I know their job is still on the line because Pirates still didn't do well the whole season. I know the culture of Pirates, the chairman needs good results in league games, and the man is a winner.
“Winning the Confederations Cup it's not like winning the Champions League because you don't qualify for the Club World Cup.
“As for their job it's not safe yet, they still have to play and win the Confederations Cup final and qualify for the Confederations Cup.”
With Pirates likely to finish the PSL campaign outside the top three, the best way to return to Africa next season would be by clinching the Caf Confederation Cup.
The Buccaneers lost the 2013 Caf Champions League final to Al Ahly, before settling for position two in the Confederation Cup two years later. | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/caf-confederation-cup-orlando-pirates-legend-sebola-believes/bltbb225eb9af9d4a05 | 2022-05-17T20:28:34Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/caf-confederation-cup-orlando-pirates-legend-sebola-believes/bltbb225eb9af9d4a05 | true | 3 |
The Crown is recommending that the former vice-principal of an Abbotsford middle school be sentenced to up to three years in prison for two child-pornography offences.
But Mike Haire’s lawyer suggested on Monday (May 16) that a sentence of 12 to 15 months would be more appropriate.
Both lawyers also recommended that Haire’s jail term be followed by three years’ probation.
Haire’s sentencing hearing took place in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster after he was previously convicted of making child porn available and possessing child porn.
The parties are due back in court June 2 to set a date for the judge’s decision.
Haire, 41, was an administrator at W.A. Fraser Middle School when he was charged in September 2018.
The investigation began after a six-second video file containing child sexual abuse was uploaded from a cellphone to Instagram. The customer connected to the IP address was confirmed to be Haire.
RELATED: Former Abbotsford vice-principal convicted of two child porn offences
Police executed a search warrant at Haire’s residence that resulted in the seizure of 26 electronic devices. Hundreds of images and videos constituting child sexual abuse were found on six of the devices or hardware seized, the court was previously told.
Crown counsel Dorothy Tsui said Monday that investigators found on the devices a “large and substantial collection” of images depicting child sexual abuse.
She said “the vast majority” of the material was of boys from the ages of five to 12.
She said the images showed the children nude or partially nude and posed in a sexual manner alone or with other boys.
Tsui said investigators also obtained Haire’s chat logs that included him communicating with under-age kids and requesting or exchanging images of child sexual abuse.
She said Haire’s offences are at “the higher end of the spectrum” and his sentence should reflect that. She recommended he receive 12 to 18 months for the possession charge and 24 to 36 months for making the material available, to be served concurrently.
RELATED: Judge rules evidence admissible in child-porn case involving former Abbotsford vice-principal
Defence lawyer Vincent Michaels said Haire has been remorseful and ashamed about his behaviour, and has been immersed in treatment programs to try to understand his actions and prevent them from happening again.
Michaels said Haire had a strict Mormon upbringing in which homosexuality was viewed as “an extremely unnatural and wrongful thing to do.” He said Haire “maintained a false identity” for most of his life, becoming increasingly depressed and isolated into his mid-30s and making harmful choices.
But that doesn’t excuse Haire’s action, Michaels said.
“To be very clear, he knew what he was doing and he knew that it was wrong,” he said.
Michaels said Haire’s offences should not erase the many years he had of “positive contributions” as first a teacher at Clayburn Middle School from 2006 to 2015 and then vice-principal at W. A. Fraser Middle School.
He said Haire now works as a “service technician” and is engaged to be married to his partner. Haire no longer lives in Abbotsford nor does he use social media, Michaels said.
He said a jail term of 12 to 15 months should satisfy the sentencing principles of denunciation and deterrence.

With full arenas around North America buzzing for the NHL playoffs for the first time in three years, the first round overflowed with energy that sometimes amounted to blowouts and full penalty boxes.
By the time almost every series reached Game 6 — and five got to Game 7 — signs were already starting to emerge that made it look like a more traditional postseason.
Penalties were on the decline, comebacks and drama on the rise and with the eight teams making up some of the league’s best, the second round and beyond will likely resemble more of the old-school playoff hockey fans and players are accustomed to this time of year.
“The deeper you go, the more intense it gets,” Colorado defenseman Cale Makar said. “That’s why playoff hockey is a lot of fun.”
It wasn’t a lot of fun early on, when the team that scored first won 26 times out of 32. The first week also had 14 games decided by two or more goals, not counting empty-netters, and there was just one multigoal comeback.
Then there were nine come-from-behind victories in the final 19 games of the first round, including Presidents’ Trophy-winning Florida erasing a three-goal deficit against Washington. Four games went to overtime in the final four days — more than the first eight combined.
As games got tighter with bigger momentum swings and series went down to the wire, penalty calls followed suit. It was still the most penalties called in the first round in almost a decade — just over 10 a game, the highest since 2014 and an average of more than two above the regular-season pace.
“The standard is the standard: It’s not a regular-season standard, it’s not a playoff standard,” Commissioner Gary Bettman said at the start of the playoffs. “We continue to reinforce to the officials, ‘We want you to call the NHL standard.’ And that standard is to reinforce speed and skill and the officials are doing that.”
The officiating at times dominated the conversation during and after games because there were more penalties and power plays each night than in the regular season.
“I’ve never seen it like this,” said Tampa Bay winger Pat Maroon, the only player to win the Stanley Cup each of the past three years. “It’s killed a lot of momentum 5 on 5. It’s been a weird playoff for me. I’ve never seen this amount of penalties before in a playoff. It seems like it’s preseason again with all the calls on both sides.”
Retired defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo said the lack of flow rendered some games “unwatchable.
“I’ve always been the guy that has encouraged referees to call the obvious because I think that’s why they’re on the ice, but there also has to be an understanding of the intensity that gets played with come playoff time,” Colaiacovo said. “What really people should be proud about (in) the game of hockey is that there is a pride, an intensity and a toughness that is played at this time of year, and it’s just been taken away.”
Retired referee Tim Peel said officials are told by the league office to call the regular-season standard. They’re especially careful to uphold that because 20 work the first round, with eight sent home before the second begins.
“If you’re not calling the NHL standard, there’s a good possibility that you won’t be moving on to the second round,” Peel said.
But he and others think the penalties will continue to go down and become less of a factor in games. Having eight of the top 11 teams in the standings left vying for the Cup could also play a major role with players concentrating on staying more disciplined.
“I don’t know what to expect,” Panthers coach Andrew Brunette said. “A lot of times you see less penalties (because) teams get smarter. They understand what they’re calling and what they’re maybe not letting go a little bit. Players and teams understand the standard that’s set and they work it to the best of their advantage.”

Tiger Woods, Southern Hills have both changed plenty since 2007 PGA Championship
TULSA — Tiger Woods has gone through plenty of changes since the last time he strolled the fairways at Southern Hills.
So has the golf course, site of this week’s PGA Championship.
Beginning Thursday at 8:11 a.m. off the 10th tee, Woods and Southern Hills reunite, as he makes his second start in his return since a car crash that nearly took his life. Amputation of his right leg was an option for Woods, though both were injured in the crash 14 months ago in California. He underwent numerous surgeries just to walk again, let alone return to competitive golf.
Southern Hills, however, has also gone through extensive renovations, $11 million worth. A surgery in its own right.
2022 PGA Championship: Hole-by-hole breakdown of Southern Hills Country Club
Neither Woods nor Southern Hills will be similar to what they were in 2007, when he captured his 13th major title and fourth PGA Championship. But that’s not a bad thing.
“It was obviously a very different golf course (in 2007),” Woods said. “They have lengthened it, changed it, and it will be a good test. I'm curious to see how much firmer it gets as the week goes on.”
Whether it was playing a nine-hole practice round on Monday or hitting range balls on Tuesday, spectators have flooded the grounds hoping to get a glimpse of Woods. He has a following anywhere he goes, and even spectators following other groups on the course are waiting for a chance to see Woods themselves.
Much of the attention has focused on Woods’ health and how his recovery has gone since playing The Masters last month.
After an opening round 1-under 71, he slowly faded at Augusta National, admitting his endurance wasn’t what it needed to be. He made the cut, which was extraordinary in itself, but Woods wanted more.

He wanted to win, something he believes he can do come Sunday, even with his limitations.
“My team did just an amazing job just to get me to a point where I could play The Masters,” Woods said. “Right after each round, it was like getting back to the house and we have an ice bath ready for you, and off you go, get on the treatment table and let's keep working at it. It was hard. It was hard on all of us.
“I've gotten stronger since then. But still, it's still going to be sore, and walking is a challenge. I can hit golf balls, but the challenge is walking. It's going to be that way for the foreseeable future.”
Woods said his body is more prepared for the PGA Championship than it was at The Masters.

Nearly two weeks ago, Woods came to Tulsa and played an 18-hole practice round at Southern Hills before flying to an event in Las Vegas. Southern Hills director of golf Cary Cozby was on the bag, and Woods got his first taste of the renovated layout.
Now he gets to try and win consecutive majors in the Sooner State.
“(Southern Hills) is just different,” Woods said. “It's more faster, wide open. We saw how the seniors played it; a lot of balls were hitting and runs off to the sides. But still, it's a challenge. It's going to be hard. It's going to be fair.”

Netflix terminated the roles of 150 mostly US-based staff today in an ongoing effort to cut costs following a historic drop in subscribers, reported Deadline. The impacted employees reportedly include a number in senior-level positions. It’s the second round of layoffs at the company— which numbers roughly 11,000 employees — in recent weeks. An undisclosed number of writing and editing staff attached to Netflix's in-house fan website, Tudum, were let go last month.
A company spokesperson said the layoffs were directly tied to a slowdown in Netflix’s revenue growth. “As we explained on earnings, our slowing revenue growth means we are also having to slow our cost growth as a company. So sadly, we are letting around 150 employees go today, mostly US-based,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Engadget. “These changes are primarily driven by business needs rather than individual performance, which makes them especially tough as none of us want to say goodbye to such great colleagues. We’re working hard to support them through this very difficult transition.”
Variety reported today that the streaming service has also cut a number of in-development animated projects, including Wings of Fire from executive producer Ava DuVernay, a preschool series called Antiracist Baby and With Kind Regards From Kindergarten. But according to Variety's sources, these projects were dropped due to creative reasons and not as an effort to cut costs.
The streaming service also dropped the documentary Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, And You, a companion piece to Stamped From the Beginning.
Employee morale has been low at the Los Gatos, California-based company since it indicated during its last earnings call that it plans to tighten its belt, according to the Los Angeles Times. The company also updated its cultural memo this month to warn prospective employees that the streaming services “may not be the best place” for those who cannot work on content they disagree with.
“As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values. Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,” reads the culture guidelines.
Netflix reported it lost subscribers in the first quarter of 2022, which it chalked up to a rise in password sharing, increased competition from other streaming platforms and dropping its entire subscriber base in Russia. The streaming service is exploring adding a lower-priced, ad-supported tier as well as cutting a number of projects that were in development. The company anticipates losing another 2 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2022. | https://www.engadget.com/netflix-lays-off-150-mostly-us-based-staff-to-cut-costs-195600142.html?src=rss | 2022-05-17T20:36:04Z | https://www.engadget.com/netflix-lays-off-150-mostly-us-based-staff-to-cut-costs-195600142.html?src=rss | false | 3 |

I once had a Bedroom "shelved-out" for organised Music Media Storage, now I have it all in my Shirt Pocket Player Memory devices.
Still, I would like to have access to those Linn Vinyls like the one on the LP12 that's on the Front Cover of the latest Stereophile. Linn and other Europeans have wonderfully unique recordings that I'd love to explore. Streaming will probably provide open access to all of the World's vast collection of recorded Music.
Back in March of 2022, Abyss Staff did a YouTube Video covering ALL the Music Formats that we Audiophiles used and invested-in over the last 70ish years of recorded Music. ( there are quite a few ) Funny thing is that I personally was experienced in most of them and owned gear for a very large percentage . Its an amazing look back to see where we've been and how far we've come.
We ( Stereophile's Staff and readership ) now anticipate a completely differing experience ( I think ) !
Streaming enables us to extrapolate out a Future that seemed unimaginable a Decade Ago at RMAF 2012 !
It feels to me that Streaming is a Moses parting the Red Sea to the unlimited joys of a Musical Promised Land.
I'm leaving 33.3 to the Planet Pharaoh
It's time to move-on!

Elections to take place after reforms: Fazl
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl ur Rehman Tuesday said that the coalition government would move towards elections only after introducing electoral reforms in some areas.
“The election process will now be finalized through mutual consultation, Fazl said in an interview with a private news network, declining to comment on the duration of electoral reforms.
Regarding speculations over immediate elections, the JUI-F chief further added that only one and a half years are left and the coalition government cannot expand its tenure beyond this period.
“We have just stepped out of murky waters, so there is no point going back therein”, he said in an apparent reference to the political crises the country had been facing for the last few months.
Fazl asserted that the country’s biggest problem at the moment is the economic crisis which needs to be fixed.
“Former prime minister Imran Khan has destroyed all the institutions during his four-year tenure and now the only question that lies ahead of us is whether we [the coalition government] could bring the country back on track and how long will it take,” he maintained.
Speaking about the appointment of the new chief of army staff after General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure expires in September 2022, Fazl said: “I am not in the favour of discussing matters related to the appointment of the chief of army staff in political gatherings.”
The chief of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) — a multiparty alliance that led the movement against Imran Khan’s ouster — maintained that the military has its own system and the chief of army staff holds an important position. He further added that it depends on the government whether it wants to extend the tenure or appoint somebody else. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/05/17/elections-to-take-place-after-reforms-fazl/ | 2022-05-17T20:40:13Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/05/17/elections-to-take-place-after-reforms-fazl/ | true | 2 |
MOST History displays centuries worth of RGV history
EDINBURG, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Traveling back in time, the Museum of South Texas History will have a series of exhibitions to showcase the rich history behind the Rio Grande Valley.
Authorities search for credit card abuse suspect
The Exhibits and Collections Coordinator for the museum, Melissa Peña, said the gaps in history hadn’t been updated in three decades.
With the new scholarship findings and documentation, the museum thought it would be a good time to update it.
It’s a three-video series called “Rediscovering the Rio Grande Legacy Exhibition” where they’ll take guests through different time periods beginning in the 1400s.
The focus of the exhibit is to explore the themes of South Texas’s pre-colonization, its role in the underground railroad and the culture of the packing shed in the 20th century.
Peña told ValleyCentral that each video will be between 6 and 10 minutes long explaining the physical exhibition that guests can walkthrough.
“We wanted to highlight the people who were here originally, the indigenous people who were in the Valley, who lived here, and the kind of life,” added Peña. “It’s a celebration of them and how they survived in this area for 10,000 years before the Spanish came.”
Foster parent shares 13-year journey
Although centuries ago, Peña said the exhibition still shows relevance in the RGV today.
Through this exhibition, Peña added guests will feel the culture, family, and hard work behind it.
From women’s softball to the farm fields down to the current RGV, MOST History is showcasing, according to Peña.
Although the museum is there to provide families with the education, Peña wished there would be more of it taught in school.
“We have such a rich history and I think it’s so important to highlight that to our kids so they have a pride in their heritage and in their background. When they start learning about it, they come in like we have school tours all the time they’re like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that,'” stated Peña.
Each piece of the collection has been donated to the museum, so that it has a story of its own as well, according to Peña.
Child Tax Credit tool reopens for missing payments
Humanities Texas helped facilitate the exhibition.
The video series is only available on May 14, 21, and 28 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
For those who interested in the early showing, it’s free. For the 2 p.m. show, tickets will be regularly priced and are available for purchase the day of.
The showing will have a cap of 60-80 people in the theater at once.
For those who don’t get the opportunity to see the video series in person, the museum will upload each one to their YouTube channel in June for feedback. It will be taken down after four weeks.

Pak vs WI: PCB plans to schedule ODIs in evening due to heat wave: sources
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning to start all three matches of the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series between Pakistan and West Indies around 5 in the evening, sources privy to the matter said.
The series is scheduled to start on June 8, 2022.
The day and night matches usually start at 2 pm in Pakistan, however, due to the extremely hot weather — which is expected to further intensify in June — PCB is considering starting matches in the evening.
According to weather forecasting services, the temperatures could rise above 40°C in Rawalpindi and Multan in the first week of June.
This is not the first time when the PCB planned to start the ODI matches in the evening. In 2012, Pakistan hosted Australia in UAE, where all three ODIs kicked off at 6 pm (local time) and ended at 1:45 am (local time).
PCB is also planning to take precautionary measures in order to save players from getting affected by the heatwave. As per the International Cricket Council (ICC) laws, there are two drink breaks allowed per session but umpires can also permit extra drink breaks due to extreme weather conditions.
Pakistan and West Indies are scheduled to play three-match ODI series in Rawalpindi on June 8, 10, and 12. However, the series may be hosted at Multan Cricket Stadium in case the political situation deteriorates in the federal capital due to PTI’s call for a long march at the end of May. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/05/17/pak-vs-wi-pcb-plans-to-schedule-odis-in-evening-due-to-heat-wave-sources/ | 2022-05-17T20:44:23Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/05/17/pak-vs-wi-pcb-plans-to-schedule-odis-in-evening-due-to-heat-wave-sources/ | true | 3 |
May gray returned to Southern California Tuesday morning, May 17, as residents awoke to cloudy skies — a pattern that forecasters say could continue into early next week.
A coastal eddy, coupled with a weak upper level trough moving inland and north, have brought in a deeper marine layer, which reached San Bernardino early Tuesday morning, said San Diego-based National Weather Service meteorologist Philip Gonsalves.
The marine layer typically burns off by about noon and on Tuesday, May 17, was giving way to temperatures in the mid- to upper-70s for most areas in Southern California, forecasters said, while coastal areas will hang in the 60s.
A brief increase in temperatures is expected Wednesday and Thursday, said David Sweet of the NWS Oxnard office, as the sea breeze won’t be as strong, and the marine layer won’t be as thick.
Temperatures could get into the low 70s on the coasts on Wednesday and Thursday, but will mostly remain in the 60s all week.
Some parts of the Inland Empire could see temperatures in the low 90s those days, Gonsalves said.
In Los Angeles County, valley areas were anticipated to see temperatures in the mid-80s by midweek, Sweet said.
But by Friday and through the weekend, those temperatures will dip back to the mid-70s to low-80s, both forecasters said.
“This is about as typical as it gets,” Sweet said. “We’re headed into an extended period of seasonal temperatures, with low clouds and fog in the morning and warming in the afternoons.” | https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2022/05/17/may-gray-pattern-brings-cloudy-foggy-mornings-to-southern-california/ | 2022-05-17T20:46:12Z | https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2022/05/17/may-gray-pattern-brings-cloudy-foggy-mornings-to-southern-california/ | true | 10 |

Quite a few insiders invested in Select Harvests Limited (ASX:SHV) last year which is positive news for shareholders
Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Select Harvests Limited (ASX:SHV), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.

Cash, MD, FACG, AGAF, FASGE, Dan and Lillie Sterling Professor of Medicine, Chief, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, UT Health Science Center at Houston McGovern Medical School, and Mark Pimental, MD, FRCP(C), Executive Director, Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) Program, Cedars- Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- IBSRELA is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age due to the risk of serious dehydration.
- IBSRELA is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Risk of Serious Dehydration in Pediatric Patients
- IBSRELA is contraindicated in patients below 6 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of IBSRELA in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established. In young juvenile rats (less than 1 week old; approximate human age equivalent of less than 2 years of age), decreased body weight and deaths occurred, presumed to be due to dehydration, following oral administration of tenapanor. There are no data available in older juvenile rats (human age equivalent 2 years to less than 12 years).
- Avoid the use of IBSRELA in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age. Although there are no data in older juvenile rats, given the deaths in younger rats and the lack of clinical safety and efficacy data in pediatric patients, avoid the use of IBSRELA in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of IBS-C. Severe diarrhea was reported in 2.5% of IBSRELA-treated patients. If severe diarrhea occurs, suspend dosing and rehydrate patient.
MOST COMMON ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions in IBSRELA-treated patients (incidence ≥2% and greater than placebo) were: diarrhea (16% vs 4% placebo), abdominal distension (3% vs <1%), flatulence (3% vs 1%) and dizziness (2% vs <1%).
INDICATION
IBSRELA (tenapanor) is indicated for the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) in adults.
Please see full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, for additional risk information.
About Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C)
Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by both abdominal pain and altered bowel movements, estimated to affect 11 million people in the US. IBS-C is associated with significantly impaired quality of life, reduced productivity, and substantial economic burden.
About IBSRELA for IBS-C
IBSRELA (tenapanor) is a locally acting inhibitor of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3), an antiporter expressed on the apical surface of the small intestine and colon primarily responsible for the absorption of dietary sodium. By inhibiting NHE3 on the apical surface of the enterocytes, tenapanor reduces absorption of sodium from the small intestine and colon, thus retaining luminal water content, which accelerates intestinal transit time and results in a softer stool consistency. IBSRELA has also been shown to reduce abdominal pain by decreasing visceral hypersensitivity and by decreasing intestinal permeability in animal models. In a rat model of colonic hypersensitivity, tenapanor reduced visceral hyperalgesia and normalized colonic sensory neuronal excitability.
About Ardelyx, Inc.
Ardelyx was founded with a mission to discover, develop and commercialize innovative first-in-class medicines that meet significant unmet medical needs. Ardelyx's first approved product, IBSRELA® (tenapanor) is available in the United States. Ardelyx is developing XPHOZAH® (tenapanor), a novel product candidate to control serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis, which has completed three successful Phase 3 trials. Ardelyx has a Phase 2 potassium secretagogue program, RDX013, for the potential treatment of elevated serum potassium, or hyperkalemia, a problem among certain patients with kidney and/or heart disease and an early-stage program in metabolic acidosis, a serious electrolyte disorder in patients with CKD. Ardelyx has established agreements with Kyowa Kirin in Japan, Fosun Pharma in China and Knight Therapeutics in Canada for the development and commercialization of tenapanor in their respective territories.

Carlton still well placed to attack 2022 trade period; in-demand Docker ‘definitely’ wants to stay: AFL Trade Whispers
Despite being one of the most notable clubs of the past two off-seasons, Carlton could still be busy this October.
Plus a Docker attracting ample rival-club interest has declared he wants to stay in Perth.
Get the latest player movement news and updates in AFL Trade Whispers!
BLUES STILL WELL PLACED TO ATTACK TRADE PERIOD
Carlton remains well placed to add gun players from rival clubs to its list via trade and free agency at season’s end, despite being active in the past two off-seasons, reports The Age.
The Blues parted with their top-10 pick last year to trade in Adam Cerra from the Dockers, while they also acquired free agent George Hewett from the Swans. Those moves came on year after they also gave up a first-rounder to trade in Bombers speedster Adam Saad and signed Giants free agent Zac Williams to a lucrative contract.
Carlton has also secured star players like Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh and Jacob Weitering to long-term deals.
But The Age reported on Tuesday that Carlton would have salary cap space to add talent to its list after this season, both via the free agency and trade periods.
The report indicated the Blues were keen to add another running midfielder to their list, while depth in their key defensive and ruck stocks would be handy after being somewhat stretched by Liam Jones; sudden retirement and Marc Pittonet’s long-term knee injury.
Carlton is reportedly one of multiple Victorian-based clubs to show interest in Port Adelaide’s Karl Amon, who’s an eligible unrestricted free agent and weighing up a move home to Victoria.
St Kilda has been most heavily linked to Amon so far, while Hawthorn and Melbourne have both also flagged their interest in the Power wingman.
IN-DEMAND DOCKER ‘DEFINITELY’ WANTS TO STAY
Off-contract defender Griffin Logue has emphatically declared he wants to remain a Docker amid ample interest from several rival clubs.
The Herald Sun reported last month that Logue was “strongly favoured” to move to a Melbourne-based club next year, with multiple teams making “overtures” to the 24-year-old.
But asked by Dockers legend Matthew Pavlich on 9 News Perth on Tuesday night where he wanted to play his footy next season, Logue said: “I definitely want to stay here, for sure.
“I’m a Perth boy and I’ve always grown up around here. Dad’s always been a big Freo fan as well.
“I’ll let that sort itself out towards the end of the year. For now it’s a pretty simple focus on playing the best footy I can personally, but more so as a team and see where we can really take it.”
The rival interest in Logue comes after a difficult start to his 2022 campaign, managing just six of a possible nine games so far.
However the 193cm backman had a career-best game in Fremantle’s loss to Gold Coast on the weekend, finishing with a career-high 29 disposals and 11 marks (six intercept), while his 17 intercept possessions were the most ever by a Dockers player.
Logue said it’d been “frustrating” to be in and out of the Dockers’ best 22 this season.
“I haven’t felt like I’ve wavered too much in terms of my own form,” he said.
“Obviously we’re in a really good spot at the moment where we have a lot of depth to build off and unfortunately people are going to miss out – and that’s been me a few times. It just shows the depth we have.” | https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/department-of-trade/afl-trade-news-rumours-whispers-2022-carlton-salary-cap-space-karl-amon-st-kilda-griffin-logue-interview-fremantle-dockers-contract/news-story/73921a76a763f53de5710974a20ba105 | 2022-05-17T20:59:28Z | https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/department-of-trade/afl-trade-news-rumours-whispers-2022-carlton-salary-cap-space-karl-amon-st-kilda-griffin-logue-interview-fremantle-dockers-contract/news-story/73921a76a763f53de5710974a20ba105 | true | 1 |
Florida man who landed small plane with no flying experience says ‘hand of God’ was with him
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A Florida man with no flying experience who kept his cool while landing a small plane says "the hand of God" was with him after the pilot collapsed at the controls.
Darren Harrison told NBC’s "Today" show that he was relaxing with his feet up in the back of the single-engine Cessna after a fishing trip in the Bahamas when the pilot told him and another passenger: "Guys, I gotta tell you I don’t feel good."
"He said, ’I’ve got a headache and I’m fuzzy and I just don’t feel right," the 39-year-old flooring salesman said. "And I said, ‘What do we need to do?’ and at that point he didn’t respond at all."
Harrison climbed into the cockpit and saw that the plane was diving, and fast.
"All I saw when I came up to the front was water out the right window and I knew it was coming quick. At that point I knew if I didn’t react, that we would die."

Harrison said he reached over the unconscious pilot and grabbed the controls, slowly pulling back the stick to level the plane. It was a common-sense move, he said.
"I knew if I went up and yanked that, the airplane would stall," he said. "And I also knew that at the rate we were going, we were going way too fast, and it would probably rip the wings off of the airplane."
That, he said, was "the scariest part of the whole story."
With help from the other passenger — a friend of the pilot, he said — they moved him out of the pilot’s seat. Harrison jumped in and put on the headset, only to realize that the wires were frayed and the plug was gone. So he got the headset from the other passenger.
He reached an air traffic controller in Florida. Asked if he knew the plane’s position, Harrison said the GPS was out so he had no idea.
According to Flight Aware, the plane had taken off earlier Tuesday from Marsh Harbour International Airport in the Bahamas.
The air traffic controller then asked what he could see.
"I see the state of Florida and I see a small airport," Harrison told him.
At this point, he refused to let fear set in.
"When I was flying and saw the state of Florida, at that second I knew I’m going to land there," he said. "I don’t know what the outcome’s going to be, I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I knew I’m going to have to land this airplane because there’s no other option."

Harrison said he had to get home to his wife Britney, seven months pregnant with their first child.
"People said what if you had crashed and died? You could have at least called her, you could have reached out to her, you had time," Harrison said. "In my mind I knew I wasn’t going to die, and the thought never crossed my mind to call and tell my wife ‘bye.’"
Air Traffic Controller Robert Morgan, who coached Harrison into a safe landing at Palm Beach International Airport, told him the runway would appear bigger and bigger as he approached.
At around 200 feet, Harrison said Morgan told him he needed to slow down.
"At that point I told the other guy, hey take the throttle and dump it on the floor. Just dump it on the floor as far as it will go," Harrison said.
The plane touched down safely.
"I said thank you for everything and I threw the headset on the dash and I said the biggest prayer I’ve ever said in my life," Harrison recalled.
"That’s when all the emotion set in," he added.
He said he offered up a "thankful prayer for the safety and everything that had happened. But the last part of the prayer and the strongest part was for the guy in the back because I knew it was not a good situation."
The pilot was taken to a hospital and is expected to be released early this week, Harrison said.
Harrison then called his wife, who wasn’t expecting to hear from him so early. She said that last year, her sister was six months pregnant when her husband died, "so honestly I took a deep breath and prepared myself for it not to be him on the other line."

Woman defecated in beauty supply store, ruining 8 wigs, police say
WICHITA, Kan. (Gray News) – A woman defecated in the middle of an aisle at a beauty supply store in Kansas, ruining several wigs in the process, according to police.
The Wichita Police Department said the suspect has been identified, thanks to the help of the public, but they did not confirm if she was in custody.
Police said the incident happened May 10, writing in a Facebook post that “the defecation was significant enough that 8 wigs were destroyed as a result.”
The business owners wanted the public’s help in identifying the woman because they want to pursue criminal charges against her.
Police said the incident was captured on video surveillance, but “for the good of all of you, we are not posting the footage of the offending fecal assault.”

Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, arrived Tuesday in St. John’s, N.L., to begin a three-day Canadian tour that will largely focus on reconciliation with Indigenous people.
Under partly cloudy skies, the couple landed at St. John’s International Airport aboard a Canadian government jet. They then headed by motorcade to a welcome ceremony at the provincial legislature with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.
The couple were met by an honour guard and various dignitaries before shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with people in the crowd. On the steps leading to the legislature, about 100 schoolchildren waved small Canadian and provincial flags.
Grade 6 student Anna Jeans said she was thrilled at the possibility she might get a high-five from Charles or Camilla. “I’m very excited,” she said, bouncing on her toes. “It’s a big opportunity for me.”
Nearby, Tara Kelly — wearing a homemade fascinator with a tall plume of green feathers — said she’s long been a fan of the Royal Family. “It’s a fantasy,” she said.
Inside the Confederation Building’s purple-lit foyer, the prince and the duchess looked on as Innu elder Elizabeth Penashue offered a blessing and Inuk soprano Deantha Edmunds sang.
The event began with a land acknowledgment honouring the province’s five Indigenous groups as well as the Beothuk people, who were among the first inhabitants of Newfoundland, their history stretching back 9,000 years.
Simon welcomed Charles and Camilla to Canada in Inuktitut. She asked Charles and Camilla to listen to the Indigenous groups they will meet in Canada and to learn their stories.
“I encourage you to learn the truth of our history — the good and the bad,” she said. “In this way, we will promote healing, understanding and respect. And in this way, we will also promote reconciliation.”
The prince started his speech by noting that the land that became Canada has been cared for by Indigenous people — First Nations, Métis and Inuit — for thousands of years.
“We must find new ways to come to terms with the darker and more difficult aspects of the past, acknowledging, reconciling and striving to do better,” he said. “It is a process that starts with listening.”
The prince said he had spoken with the Governor General about the “vital process” of reconciliation.
“(It’s) not a one-off act, of course, but an ongoing commitment to healing, respect and understanding,” he said. “I know that our visit this week comes at an important moment with Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples across Canada, committing to reflect honestly and openly on the past.”
Charles and Camilla then moved on to Government House, the official residence of Lt.-Gov. Judy Foote, the Queen’s representative in the province.
Outside the residence, they will take part in a reconciliation prayer with Indigenous leaders at the Heart Garden, which was built to honour Indigenous children who attended the province’s residential schools.
Earlier in the day, Trudeau said reconciliation will form part of the discussions Charles and Camilla engage in during their visit. But the prime minister avoided answering when asked if he thinks the Queen should apologize for the legacy of residential schools.
“Reconciliation has been a fundamental priority for this government ever since we got elected, and there are many, many things that we all have to work on together,” he said. “But we know it’s not just about government and Indigenous people. It’s about everyone doing their part, and that’s certainly a reflection that everyone’s going to be having.”
Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron has said she intends to make a request for an apology to the prince and duchess during a reception Wednesday at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
Caron has said residential school survivors have told her an apology from the Queen is important as she is Canada’s head of state and the leader of the Anglican Church. “The Royals have a moral responsibility to participate and contribute and advance reconciliation,” Caron said in Ottawa on Monday.
Earlier this year, Pope Francis apologized for the Catholic Church’s role in residential schools when Indigenous leaders and residential school survivors visited the Vatican. He will travel to Canada to deliver the apology this summer.
Leaders from four of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Indigenous groups were expected to attend the prayer ceremony at the lieutenant-governor’s residence in St. John’s. Elders and residential school survivors were also invited to take part in a smudging ceremony, musical performances, a land acknowledgment and a moment of silence.
Charles and Camilla will then tour Quidi Vidi, a former fishing community in the east end of St. John’s.
The couple are expected to arrive in Ottawa tonight. Their tour will also take them to the Northwest Territories.

Summer is a time for basking in the sun and exciting adventures. Dealing with issues like green hair from frequent pool days can put a damper on fun plans. While green-tinged hair isn’t permanent, it is annoying to deal with and probably isn’t the summer look you had in mind.
Well, the mystery of green hair after too much pool time is officially solved. There are a few easy fixes to keep your hair looking pristine all summer long. Here’s everything you need to know about why your hair turns green in chlorine and the best clarifying shampoos to prevent it.
Why your hair turns green in the pool
After a summer in the pool or days of swimming practice, it’s not uncommon for lighter hair to develop a green tinge. While many believe chlorine to be the culprit, it’s a combination of chlorine and copper that’s to blame. Copper and other hard metals are found in water, including well water or tap water that we shower in every day.
However, it’s not an issue for our hair until chlorine is introduced to the water, causing the copper and hard metals to oxidize. The oxidized metal then sticks to the protein in our hair and turns it green. Also, blondes are the primary victim of this unfortunate chemical reaction. While the copper film adheres to all hair, it probably won’t be visible on dark hair.
How to stop your hair from turning green in chlorine
- Use a leave-in conditioner: Before going to the pool, apply a leave-in conditioner all over your hair. Copper will have a harder time attaching to your hair since the conditioner is coating the hair shaft. The conditioner will also make your hair easier to wash out after swimming.
- Wear a swim cap: While it might not be the most fashionable accessory, wearing a swim cap will prevent your blonde hair from turning green. As a bonus, it will also keep chlorine from drying out your hair.
- Get your hair wet: Wetting your hair before going into the pool may prevent the chlorine and copper from sticking as tightly to your hair.
- Don’t use copper-based algaecides: If your hair turns green from swimming in your pool at home, don’t use a copper-based product to kill your algae.
- Wash your hair immediately: As soon as you get out of the pool, wash your hair immediately with shampoo to prevent copper build-up.
What is clarifying shampoo?
While all shampoos clean your hair, a clarifying shampoo provides a deeper clean. It removes all types of build-up, including chemicals and mineral deposits from the pool, dirt, sweat and leftover hair spray. Even deep conditioners and silicones in shampoo can cause build-up. So, even if you’re not worried about green hair, it’s still a great idea to use a clarifying shampoo sometimes to reset your hair.
Tips for using a clarifying shampoo
- Don’t use clarifying shampoo every day: Because clarifying shampoos cleanse deeper, most of them are too drying to use every day. Instead, use them once a week, or only in the summer if you’re concerned about green hair.
- Be cautious with colored hair: Those who color or bleach their hair may experience fading if they use clarifying shampoo too often since it’s supposed to strip away all the deposits in your hair. Don’t use any clarifying shampoo within a week or two after coloring your hair.
- Shampoo twice: The first time you shampoo, focus on the roots to get rid of dirt, product buildup and mineral deposits. This is especially important for those with oily hair. Then, apply a clarifying shampoo all over your hair.
- Follow with a moisturizing mask: Clarifying shampoo is known to be drying. If you think your hair could use extra hydration, use a moisturizing mask to prevent hair from becoming brittle and damaged.

(The Hill) – Eric Clapton — one of the most prominent opponents of vaccination mandates — says he’s postponing performances after testing positive for COVID-19.
The “Layla” singer announced in a Monday post on his official Facebook page that his shows planned in Zurich and Milan this week would be delayed following his diagnosis.
Clapton “is unfortunately suffering from Covid having tested positive shortly after the second concert at the Royal Albert Hall,” the post said.
“He has been told by his medical advisors that if he were to resume traveling and performing too soon, it could substantially delay his full recovery,” the message continued.
Clapton “is anxious to avoid passing on any infection to any of his band, crew, promoters, their staff and of course the fans,” according to the statement.
“It is very frustrating that having avoided Covid throughout lockdown and throughout the period when travel restrictions have been in place Eric should have succumbed to Covid at this point in time, but we very much hope he will be sufficiently recovered by the end of the week to be able to perform the remainder of the planned performances,” the post said.
The 77-year-old English musician said last year that he would refuse to play at any venues requiring vaccinations, saying, “I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present.”
“Unless there is provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show,” he said at the time.
Clapton had previously expressed doubt about COVID-19 vaccinations, claiming he had a negative reaction after receiving the first dose of the AstraZeneca shot. The guitarist released “This Has Gotta Stop,” a song seemingly critical of lockdowns and public health measures aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19, last year.
Clapton’s Monday Facebook post indicated that postponed shows due to his COVID-19 diagnosis would be rescheduled within the next six months. | https://www.news10.com/news/vaccine-skeptic-eric-clapton-tests-positive-for-covid-postpones-shows/ | 2022-05-17T21:15:30Z | https://www.news10.com/news/vaccine-skeptic-eric-clapton-tests-positive-for-covid-postpones-shows/ | true | 14 |

Lehigh County Republicans seek nomination in Upper Bucks state Senate race
The redistricting of state Senate seats means voters in Upper Bucks County will see a new representative in the General Assembly in November.
In the Republican primary for the 16th state Senate district, a veteran lawmaker faces a challenge from an airline pilot and school board member.
Incumbent state Sen. Pat Browne has represented the district since 2005 and controls spending as chair of the Senate appropriations committee.
A certified public accountant and attorney, Browne authored legislation that allows towns to create "neighborhood improvement zones." When developers build in such zones, nearly all the state and local tax revenues created in that zone must go back into that neighborhood for development projects.

Browne has also made headlines for his activities outside of the state capitol. In 2015, Browne suffered a punctured lung, several broken ribs and a foot injury that required surgery. He was charged at that time with his third drunken driving offense in a 20-year period. Browne apologized at the time, saying he was determined to get help with a drinking problem.
In November, the Pennsylvania Senate unanimously passed Browne's proposal to speed up the publication of campaign finance disclosures and increase penalties for the late submission of such reports.
Senate Bill 140 would require any candidate or political action committee to electronically report their campaign donations and spending so that the information can be available to the public in a searchable database within four days. The state House has yet to vote on the proposal.

His opponent in the GOP primary, Jarrett Coleman, is an airline pilot, instructor, and Parkland School Board member who became involved with politics after his local school district began requiring students to wear masks in the classroom.
Coleman has raised concerns about teachers discussing issues of racism in the classroom and he has campaigned against Parkland's equity and inclusion plan.
Colemanwas elected to the Parkland School Board in 2021 with the support of a Rally to Reopen schools Facebook page. But many of the problems facing the schools are tied back to the policies enacted in state capital, Coleman said.
Colemanpointed to "lavish" perks for state lawmakers and "outdated" COVID-19 protocols. The state's current election system, Coleman said, contained "zero safeguards against voter fraud."
The winner of the GOP primary will go on to face Democrat Mark Pinsley. Pinsley, Lehigh County's controller, said election integrity and voters' rights are among his top priorities.
Pennsylvania's 16th Senate District previously included only portions of Lehigh County.
With the 2022 redistricting of legislative maps, the 16th now also includes Bedminster, Bridgeton, Durham, Dublin, East Rockhill, Haycock, Hilltown, Milford, Nockamixon, Perkasie, Quakertown, Richland, Richlandtown, Reigelsville, Sellersville, Silverdale, Springfield, Tinicum, Telford, and West Rockhill. | https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/05/17/pa-16th-senate-race-gop-incumbent-browne-challenged-by-coleman/65350756007/ | 2022-05-17T21:20:22Z | https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/05/17/pa-16th-senate-race-gop-incumbent-browne-challenged-by-coleman/65350756007/ | false | 2 |
The Young and the Restless fans blast show’s recasting of Summer as new actress debuts following Hunter King’s leave
THE Young and the Restless fans have slammed the show for its recasting of Hunter King’s character, Summer Newman, after the new actress made her debut on Tuesday.
Allison Lanier has picked up the role following Hunter’s leave, which came after a decade of her portraying Phyllis Summers’ and Nicholas Newman’s daughter on and off.
On Tuesday, The Young and the Restless welcomed Summer back into the fold, but she was played by a completely different actress.
Last month, the show revealed that the character was returning but, instead of Hunter, she’d be played by newcomer Allison.
This is her first time on a soap, with the star previously holding roles on the show Red Oaks, as Annabelle, and in movies like Mia and Fish Bones.
With her debut, fans blasted Y&R for not having Hunter back in the role, which she began playing in 2012.
One viewer demanded: “I would like to see Hunter King come back!”
Another wrote, this time of the new actress: “Needs a haircut, doesn’t look anything like Summer (Hunter).”
“It’ll take time to get used to her as Summer,” a third said.
A fourth Y&R fan tweeted: “Sorry. Won't be watching.
Most read in Entertainment
“Bring back #HunterKing as Summer. Viewers are tired of how #YR has treated its actors.
“If you can bring back #MichaelMealor, then do the same for Hunter - or accept losing even more viewers.”
“I would like to see Hunter King come back.”
Y&R let go of both Hunter and Michael, who starred together as onscreen couple Summer and Kyle, during contract negotiations last summer.
The actress told Soap Opera Digest at the time: “When these things happen, there’s a variety of reasons why they happen.
“…It’s such an odd process [working out a business arrangement] but also feeling like it’s your family. It’s definitely weird.”
She added: “I do hope to always have Summer in my life in some capacity.
“What that will continue to look like, I’m not quite sure yet, but I know that I hold her very near and dear to my heart.”
Eventually, the show decided to bring back Michael in his role of Kyle Abbott, as Y&R had just resurrected his character’s mom, Diane Jenkins.
While not everyone was happy about Summer’s recasting, some were just happy to see the character back on the show and were also willing to give Allison a chance in the role.
“So excited to see Summer back... Allison will do an amazing job,” wrote one excited fan.
A second said: “It usually takes awhile to warm up to a replacement character, but I liked her right away. Great job!”
More than just happy to see Summer solo, fans were ecstatic about the fact that that meant one of their favorite couples was whole again, as well.
A joyful viewer tweeted: “Looking forward to seeing Nu Summer (Allison) she's lovely, and now we get #Skyle back as well, very excited for this”
Another said they “already like Allison” and are “so happy to have #Skyle back!”

Matt Harvey, who admitted in the Eric Kay trial earlier this year that he distributed the prescription pain killer Percocet while he was pitching for the Angels in 2019, has been suspended for 60 games by Major League Baseball.
Harvey was suspended “for participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse,” according to a release.
Harvey signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles last month. His suspension is retroactive to April 29.
Harvey, 33, signed a free agent deal with the Angels prior to the 2019 season. He posted a 7.09 ERA in 12 games and was released. Harvey was with the team during the season that Tyler Skaggs died with fentanyl, a dangerous synthetic opioid, in his system.
Kay, a former Angels media relations staffer, was convicted in Federal court in February of supplying Skaggs with the drugs that led to his death. During that trial, Harvey testified that he had also provided Skaggs with Percocet. Harvey was granted immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for his testimony.
Several other Angels players also testified, but they only testified to using opioids, not distributing them. None of the players who testified are currently with the Angels.
Those players are now subject to more stringent testing by MLB, but no discipline. | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/05/17/former-angels-pitcher-matt-harvey-suspended-for-60-games-because-of-drug-distribution/ | 2022-05-17T21:22:36Z | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/05/17/former-angels-pitcher-matt-harvey-suspended-for-60-games-because-of-drug-distribution/ | false | 10 |
- Jumia (NYSE:JMIA) just reported Q1 earnings
- Shares of JMIA stock closed higher by more than 30%
- These five investors will benefit from Jumia’s success
Shares of Jumia (NYSE:JMIA) closed higher by more than 30% after the e-commerce company reported its Q1 earnings. For the quarter, active customers totaled 3.1 million, up from 2.4 million year-over-year (YOY). On top of that, gross profits grew by 13% YOY to $27.7 million.
Additionally, the company announced a focus on profitability. While Jumia ramped up marketing investments in Q1, it did so at a slower pace. The co-CEOs stated, “We are executing on our strategy with discipline and consistency.”
With that in mind, let’s take a look at five institutional investors betting big on the African e-commerce company.
Big Investors Betting on JMIA Stock: Baillie Gifford
Baillie Gifford is the largest shareholder of JMIA stock with a position of 9.98 million shares, which is equivalent to a 10.1% stake. During Q1, the investment firm purchased an additional 66,952 shares. Baillie first purchased shares of the company during Q2 of 2019, which is when Jumia had its initial public offering (IPO).
Morgan Stanley (MS)
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) is the second-largest shareholder of JMIA, with a 2.21 million share position, or a 2.2% stake. Like Baillie, the investment bank first purchased shares during Q2 of 2019. In addition, Morgan Stanley has an average holding period of 32.57 quarters, or just over eight years. This suggests that the bank sees long-term upside for Jumia.
Big Investors Betting on JMIA Stock: Renaissance Technologies, Jim Simons
Legendary quant hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, run by Jim Simons, is the third-largest shareholder of Jumia. First purchased during Q4 of 2020, Renaissance currently owns 1.33 million shares. The hedge fund has an average holding period of 13.57 quarters, or 3.4 years. During Q1, Renaissance purchased 121,126 shares of JMIA.
Point72, Steve Cohen
Acclaimed investor Steve Cohen and his hedge fund, Point72, own 647,800 shares of JMIA, which implies 0.65% ownership. During Q1, Point72 purchased an additional 342,017 shares, more than doubling its existing position. In addition, the hedge fund also owns 1,500 call options on Jumia, which remained unchanged during Q1.
Point72 is known for holding hundreds of positions, and Jumia has a 0.02% portfolio allocation, making it the fund’s 647th largest position.
Big Investors Betting on JMIA Stock: Citadel Advisors, Ken Griffin
As of Q1, Ken Griffin’s Citadel Advisors owns 665,998 shares of JMIA, making it the eighth-largest shareholder. However, Citadel reduced its position by 352,077 shares during the quarter. Citadel also owns 6,648 call options, which was reduced by 5,280 call options during Q1. The hedge fund is long-term oriented and has an average holding period of 16.7 quarters, or just over four years.

Relaxo Footwears has a rocky road to climb

Relaxo may find it difficult to fully pass on the rise in costs, which is likely to weigh on margins in the near term
Relaxo Footwears Ltd is walking a tightrope. Results for the three months ended March (Q4FY22) show costs pressures have deeply hurt profitability. Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) margin has contracted by 587 basis points (bps) year-on-year (y-o-y) to 15.9% last quarter. One basis point is 0.01%.
Relaxo Footwears Ltd is walking a tightrope. Results for the three months ended March (Q4FY22) show costs pressures have deeply hurt profitability. Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) margin has contracted by 587 basis points (bps) year-on-year (y-o-y) to 15.9% last quarter. One basis point is 0.01%.
Relaxo offered incentives to dealers to partially negate the impact of the goods and services tax rate hike (on footwear priced below ₹1,000), which was also a drag on Ebitda margins. Further, on average, prices of the company’s raw materials increased by 50-60% y-o-y and 20% quarter-on-quarter.
Relaxo offered incentives to dealers to partially negate the impact of the goods and services tax rate hike (on footwear priced below ₹1,000), which was also a drag on Ebitda margins. Further, on average, prices of the company’s raw materials increased by 50-60% y-o-y and 20% quarter-on-quarter.
To offset this, Relaxo increased prices, boosting its average realizations to ₹164 a pair from ₹129 in Q4FY21. Realizations were flat sequentially. However, this did not offer much respite. Its revenues declined by 6.6% y-o-y to ₹698 crore. Disruptions because of the Omicron variant of coronavirus also affected revenues. Further, the increase in prices weighed on demand. Volumes have declined y-o-y, as well as sequentially.
“Sharp price increases led to downtrading in Q4FY22. While consumers have moved to the unorganized segment, this trend may not last long as the quality remains comparatively inferior," said Akhil Parekh, an analyst at Centrum Broking.
Going ahead, for FY23, Relaxo intends to achieve 17% Ebitda margin, which has been seen in FY20. On this front, FY21 was an exceptional year with a stellar Ebitda margin of 21%.
However, cost pressures have led to a 533 bps drop in Ebitda margin to 15.7% in FY22.
Meanwhile, shares of the company have declined by 22% so far in this calendar year, though they are still 12.6% up over the past one year.
The scope for meaningful upsides is capped against the backdrop of margin troubles in the foreseeable future. Relaxo may well find it difficult to fully pass on the increase in costs. Unsurprisingly then, analysts have trimmed their earnings’ estimates. “There are concerns on demand and margins in the near-term. Accordingly, we have cut our earnings per share estimates by 19% and 11% for FY23/24 respectively," said Parekh.
Accordingly, Centrum has changed its rating from buy to add with a target price of ₹1,057 valuing at 60x FY24 estimated earnings. On Tuesday, Relaxo’s shares closed at ₹1,024.25 on NSE.
Notwithstanding the anticipated near- to medium-term pain, prospects seem better from a long-term point of view. “In-house manufacturing, strong distribution reach and increase in penetration are key levers for future growth. We continue to believe that the company has attractive product offerings and has the ability to premiumize portfolio at the lower end of the pyramid," said analysts from Dolat Capital Market Pvt. Ltd in a report on 14 May. | https://www.livemint.com/market/mark-to-market/relaxo-footwears-has-a-rocky-road-ahead/amp-11652816245367.html | 2022-05-17T21:32:50Z | https://www.livemint.com/market/mark-to-market/relaxo-footwears-has-a-rocky-road-ahead/amp-11652816245367.html | true | 2 |
Harford County Executive
Blane H. Miller, III
Democratic
48
Havre de Grace, Harford County
CEO/ President of BH Miller Group, LLC.
Havre de Grace High School 8.5 years in the US Navy
Elected to the Republican Central Committe in 2002
What do you see as the most pressing issue the county faces and how would you address it?
There are many pressing issues face the county, the state and the nation. My biggest issue is being a good steward of the taxpayers' dollars and running the county like a business. Cutting government waste and negligent spending. I have been in or around the government for 25 years and one thing is certain, there is always government waste. But not on my watch. We can do better, and we will. Some other platform issues are: Smaller government, less overreach, supporting law enforcement, improving teacher and parents relationship. These are just some of the issues I see this county facing in the coming years. For me to address each of these topic would take a lot more than 150 words. But trust me I have a plan. But first I need to get elected. But my main issue is running the county like a business and that I will do.
What plans do you have to help the county and its businesses successfully emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic?
At this point the businesses that have failed because of COVID have already failed. The ones that are still operating successfully, good for them. I am a capitalist. I don't believe the government has a role in saving companies or businesses. I also don't believe government should hinder businesses either. Trust me when one business fails, five more pop right back up in their place. That's how it should be in a free- market capitalist society. Business is hard, demanding and often unforgiving. As a business owner I know this all too well. The government has a hard enough time running itself, let alone getting involved in privately own companies or businesses. When government intervenes, it becomes a breeding ground for greed and corruption. Nothing is too big to fail, its apart of life.
What would be your priorities for future growth and development in the county?
As County Executive this is about balance. I don't want to stifle growth or development in the county. I also believe that certain important parameters should be in place long before growth and developing should occur. Like proper infrastructure. But not at the cost of the taxpayers. Developer and business will help fund roads and infrastructure projects. This is an ideology the developers and businesses will learn under my administration, or their projects will not move forward. Harford County is a jewel of the Maryland counties. I love the ruralness that our county offers. Part of being a good leader is understanding and acknowledging problems before they happen and, in this case, we already have a lot of short comings when it comes to maintaining the roads, bridges and traffic in the county now. We sure as shit don't need to create more with irresponsible developing
What degree of oversight should the County Council have over the health commissioner?
None. Harford County there is no "health commissioner" there is a health officer that is a state employee. In this case the county should have no say over a state employee. County Council is the legislative branch of government. This is a good example of checks and balances. Health policies shouldn't be political. It should base on the safety of our citizens and our community. But even if Harford County had a health commissioner that was a county employee the County Council should have no oversight of a county employee, they would ultimately work for the County Executive, and it would be his/her oversight. As the County Executive I would obviously I would take advice or direction from the health officer in any health-related issue the county would face. But in the end, it would be my decision. I would make my decision based off the data and good intel.
What steps should the county government take to address opioid overdoses and deaths?
Every step it needs too!!! Period!!! Until this crisis touches you directly you won't understand. But this issue is far beyond the government's capabilities. This is responsibly of doctors, parents and schools. Education and awareness are key in my opinion. I can say that this one issue when I first thought about getting to politics that made me want to run for office. I pledge as County Executive I will help in any way I can to help subside this terrible epidemic. If it's helping with funding or getting Narcan in every house or making it at least available. But I promise I am in the fight with you. I will refer to brighter and more intelligent people that myself. The "experts" I don't claim to have all the answers. I will work alongside you to get them. That I Promise! Even if it saves one life. It's worth it!!!
What role can the county government play to improve education in county schools?
From County Executive point of view, my role is that I have a budgetary obligation to the county school system. I am not an educator. I wouldn't pretend that it is my place to tell educators how to do their jobs as far as curriculum. If by improve you mean buildings and facilities of course I want the kids to have an adequate learning environment. Maintaining the buildings and grounds will be a part of capital projects. I will listen to the needs of the educators and help in a monetary way however I can. That is the only legal role the county has to the school system.
What efforts do the county schools need to make to address systemic racism in education and society?
This is not a question for me. As County Executive I don't make policies in reference to the school systems. The local school board and the State school board does that. This is a good example of staying your lane and understanding the role of the branches of government. I will say this I am not aware of any particular racism that is taking place in our school system. I grew up in Havre de Grace. It is one the most racially diverse schools in the county. I don't believe there was a problem then and still don't believe there is a problem now. As far as society goes you are always going to have ignorant people
What steps must the county take to improve public safety?
It depends how you define public safety. This is so general. I believe Harford County as whole is a safe place to live. If we are talking about crime, this is law enforcements domain. I will monetarily support the law enforcement though the buget. If we are taking about public health. I obviously will work with the health officer and the expert to ensure our county is doing everything in its power to keep our citizens and families safe. As the County Executive I will always be having my finger on the pulse of the county when it comes to safety. When any public safety concern arises, I can promise you I will be the first on the scene and the last one to leave. You have my word on that!!!!!
How is climate change impacting the county and what can be done locally to address the effects?
Look I am not a scientist. I do not know that climate change is real or not. But as a human on this earth, I would like not to destroy it for my grandkid's grandkids. Under my administration will do our part in ensuring that our impact on the environment is minimum. If there are cleaner better ways of doing things. We will do them. I don't have specifics examples. Everybody needs to do their part including our citizens. It is not just the government's responsibility. Somehow the government is supposed to fix everything. I don't subscribe to that philosophy. This is an "everybody's" problem. There is no easy solution. Except that I can say we will try to lower our impact from a government perspective. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/elections/voter-guide/bs-2022-candidate-harford-exec-milleriiibla-20220517-tw2qry5t5zhy3pvb6bc3ju4v7a-story.html | 2022-05-17T21:35:05Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/elections/voter-guide/bs-2022-candidate-harford-exec-milleriiibla-20220517-tw2qry5t5zhy3pvb6bc3ju4v7a-story.html | true | 2 |

The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday with an eye turned to Russia's war in Ukraine and a live satellite video address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called on a new generation of filmmakers to confront dictators as Charlie Chaplin satirized Adolf Hitler.
After tributes and musical numbers, Zelenskyy was streamed live for the formally attired audience who had gathered for the premiere of Michel Hazanavicius' zombie comedy “Final Cut."
Zelenskyy, dressed in his signature olive green shirt, drew a thunderous standing ovation and and spoke at length about the connection between cinema and reality. He referenced films like Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now” and Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” as not unlike Ukraine’s present circumstances.
Zelenskyy quoted Chaplin's final speech in “The Great Dictator,” which was released in 1940, in the early days of World War II: “The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.”
“We need a new Chaplin who will demonstrate that the cinema of our time is not silent,” implored Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian president pushed filmmakers not to “stay silent” while hundreds continue to die in Ukraine, the largest war in Europe since WWII, and show that cinema “is always on the side of freedom.”
The war is to be a regular presence in Cannes, where the festival has barred Russians with ties to the government from attending this year. Set to screen are several films from prominent Ukrainian filmmakers, including Sergei Loznitsa’s documentary “The Natural History of Destruction.” Footage shot by Lithuanian filmmaker Mantas Kvedaravičius before he was killed in Mariupol in April will also be shown by his fiancée, Hanna Bilobrova.
Entertainment News
Even “Final Cut," the latest film from “The Artist” filmmaker Hazanavicius, was renamed from its original title, “Z,” after Ukrainian protesters noted that the letter Z to some symbolizes support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Formally attired stars including Eva Longoria, Julianne Moore, Bérénice Bejo and “No Time to Die” star Lashana Lynch were among those who streamed down Cannes' famous red carpet Tuesday. More star-studded premieres — “Top Gun: Maverick!" “Elvis!" — await over the next 12 days, during which 21 films will vie for the festival's prestigious top award, the Palme d'Or.
But Tuesday's opening and the carefully choreographed red-carpet parade leading up the steps to the Grand Théâtre Lumiére again restored one of the movies' grandest pageants after two years of pandemic that have challenged the exalted stature Cannes annually showers on cinema.
“Dear friends, let’s come out of this dark together,” said opening ceremony host Virginie Efira.
After last year requiring regular COVID-19 testing and masks in theaters — and no kisses on the red carpet — Cannes has largely done away with pandemic protocols. Masks are recommended inside but are rarely worn.
Cannes presented an honorary Palme d’Or to Forest Whitaker, who received a standing ovation. Whitaker, who won best actor at Cannes 34 years ago for his performance as Charlie Parker in Clint Eastwood’s “Bird,” said that while ascending the steps to the Palais des Festivals on Tuesday, he could still hear chants of “Clint! Clint!” ringing in his ears. Eastwood is one of few others who have been awarded an honorary Palme.
On Tuesday, Cannes also unveiled the jury that will award the Palme d'Or. French actor Vincent Lindon is leading a jury that includes Deepika Padukone, Rebecca Hall, Asghar Farhadi, Trinca, Ladj Ly, Noomi Rapace, Jeff Nichols and Joachim Trier.
Questions of gender equality have long surrounded the Cannes Film Festival, where no more than five female filmmakers have ever been a part of the Palme competition lineup and only two women directors have won it. On Monday, Fremaux defended the festival, arguing that it selects films purely on the basis of quality. Hall, who last year made her directorial debut with the film “Passing,” was asked about her opinion on Cannes' record.
“I believe that it is a work in progress. I mean for the whole film industry, not just the Cannes Film Festival," replied Hall. “The way of dealing with these things needs to be addressed on a grassroots level as well. It’s not just the festivals or public-facing situations. It’s about all the minutiae of what goes into the industry at large."
Farhadi, the Oscar-winning Iranian director, also spoke for the first time about an ongoing plagiarism suit regarding his previous film, “A Hero,” which won the Grand Prix in Cannes last year. A former film student of Farhadi's, Azadeh Masihzadeh, has accused him of stealing the idea of the film from a 2018 documentary she made in a workshop taught by Farhadi.
Speaking at length, Farhadi said “A Hero” was not based on the documentary.
“It was based on a current event so this documentary and this film are based on an event that happened two years prior to the workshop,” said Farhadi. "When an event takes place and is covered by the press, then it becomes public knowledge and you can do what you like about the event. You can write a story or make a film about the event. You can look up the information on this event. ‘A Hero’ is just one interpretation of this event.”
At the tradition-upholding Cannes, the world's largest and most glitzy temple to film, cinema, controversy and glamour swirl together in a 12-day spectacle of red carpet premieres and rampant movie deal-making up and down the Croisette. Theatrical release is a requirement of any film vying for the Palme, which has prevented streaming services from playing a big role at Cannes.
But this year, one new festival partner — TikTok — has raised some eyebrows. The festival is hosting TikTok creators from around the world and holding a separate contest for best (very short) videos created during the festival. Thierry Fremaux, artistic director of Cannes, granted TikTok wasn't the future of cinema.
"The cinema remains the final art," said Fremaux.

Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Director Compares Darth Vader Relationship to a "Love Story"
Disney+ and Lucasfilm's Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set to reunite Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen after almost twenty years. The two actors haven't reprised their iconic Star Wars roles since 2005's Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and excitement for the series is currently at an all-time high. The series is set to focus on the period in time after Revenge of the Sith where McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi is watching over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine and will even feature an Obi-Wan and Darth Vader reunion. Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow recently compared the two's relationship to a love story.
"For me, across the prequels, through the original trilogy, there's a love-story dynamic with these two that goes through the whole thing," Chow revealed to Vanity Fair. "I felt like it was quite hard to not[include] the person who left Kenobi in such anguish in the series… What's special about that relationship is that they loved each other."
Although, McGregor and Christensen have previously worked together on the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Christensen only played the Anakin Skywalker side of Darth Vader. MacGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi never came face to face with Darth Vader. Now, it seems that that changed on the set of the Disney+ series, and the experience left an impression on the actor.
"I've never met Darth Vader," McGregor told Total Film, which features the star as Kenobi on its latest cover. "I had rehearsed the scene with Vader, but not with the helmet on or anything like that. When we came to do the scene, when they shouted 'action', he had to come from behind me. I turned around, and fucking Darth Vader was coming at me. It was like I was six again. I'd never acted into Vader's helmet. I'd never looked him in the eye."
"It scared the shit out of me," the Obi-Wan Kenobi actor added. "I'm not joking. It gave me a proper jolt of absolute fear. I was like, 'Oh my God, that's not acting. That's real. I'm really, truly frightened right now.' And the same thing would happen with the Stormtroopers. I'd worked with Clone troopers before, but so many of them were CGI. I never worked with Stormtroopers, and, again, I was like seven years old again. Because when you're actually faced with a Stormtrooper, with a blaster, it's like: 'Fucking hell.' It's like actual childhood memories of being scared. That's how deeply it's in us. I've acted for 30 years, and I've never been genuinely frightened when I'm acting frightened... But I had moments on this that were genuinely quite scary. It's so funny."
Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere May 27th, 2022 on Disney+. The series stars Ewan McGregor, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Sung Kang, Moses Ingram, Indira Varama, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Rupert Friend, Simone Kessell and Benny Sadfie.

Baltimore County Council
District 5
Crystal Francis
Democratic
37
Middle River, Baltimore County
Assistant Director of Program Management, Custom Executive Education, Georgetown University.
Ph.D. Public Policy and Administration, M.S. Homeland Security Management, B.S. Criminal Justice, Pre-law.
For the past 14 years, I have worked as a bipartisan public policy expert for the U.S. Social Security Administration, advancing economic income security for seniors, families, and people with disabilities. I spent the past ten years voluntarily consulting on policy resolutions that save taxpayer dollars, create healthy neighborhoods, remove inequities in the justice system, and reinvest savings back into communities. For the past two years, I have partnered with the county and the local police department as a member of the Equitable Policing Workgroup. I've also served as an election judge, chair of the local Democratic State Central Committee, and an At Large Delegate during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
What do you see as the most pressing issue Baltimore County faces and how would you address it?
Baltimore County maintains a population of approximately 849,000 people and spans about 598 square miles. Baltimore County ranked 490 out of 500 urban high-performing counties when analyzing the opportunity index. At the same time, our regional neighbors ranked significantly better (Howard County # 8, Anne Arundel County # 202, and Harford county # 259). The following are the most pressing issues facing the county (in order of priority) and how to address each: Community Vitality: Improve the net migration and voter participation rates. Housing: Manage the affordable housing shortfall and housing affordability in general. Equity: Eliminate neighborhood disparity in educational attainment and poverty. Augment neighborhood diversity. Environment: Decrease airborne cancer risk and flood hazards. Increase tree canopy area. Food & Nutrition: Improve access to local food outlets and large grocery stores. Public Safety: Decrease property and violent crime rates. Education: Increase preschool enrollment. Decrease prevalence of idle youth not engaged.
What plans do you have to help the county and its businesses successfully emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many public health and human service concerns that have already existed and demonstrated how interconnected, and resilient communities could be when services, support, and aid are localized. The county should invest in localizing access to critical resources and services in the following ways: Ensure that businesses, schools, and service organizations have effective continuity of operations planning and create opportunities for local stakeholders to participate in regional preparedness exercises. Improve access to food, housing, healthcare, and supplemental income by bringing these resources to the communities, so transportation, broadband, and mobility issues do not prevent communities from accessing services and supports that are readily available. Spearhead collective impact initiative to foster cross-sector partnerships and collaboration with community-based organizations, health and human service providers, business, and the neighborhoods at large and work together to achieve common goals.
What are your views on the future growth and economic development in the county?
There is excellent potential for Baltimore County to focus its future growth and economic development around clean energy jobs, sustainable infrastructure, and upskilling residents in careers focused on science, technology, agriculture, math, mechanics, healthcare, engineering, education, and entrepreneurship. The county should invest resources in opportunities that create partnerships between industry and educational institutions to build a talent pipeline.
What role can the county government play to improve education in county schools?
To improve education in schools, the county must focus on removing neighborhood disparities and poverty barriers associated with educational attainment. The county should focus its resources on improving school infrastructure, reducing overcrowding, enhancing core curriculum, improving school safety and access to nutritious meals, improving access to early education programs, investing in before and aftercare programs, and incentivizing the expansion of programs that incorporate: arts, language, reading, writing, mentoring, sports, science, technology, agriculture, and math into its program components.
What efforts do the county need to make to address systemic racism in government services?
The county must first acknowledge that systemic racism exists in government services and opportunities to secure government contracts. The county should employ the following strategies to address systemic racism: Remove barriers to political participation Address inequities and remove barriers to equal opportunity Revise policy and practices to ensure everyone has the same access to opportunities and resources Make equity, fairness, and inclusivity a part of the decision-making processes
Do you think there needs to be additional oversight to the Office of the Inspector General or changes to the structure of the office? If so, please explain.
The framers of American democracy established the tenants of separation of power. They built a system of checks and balances to safeguard against autocracy by ensuring that no component of the government holds excessive power. The Association of Inspectors General created the "Greenbook," which establishes principles of ethics, accountability, and quality standards for the Offices of Inspector General. OIG staff are public trust workers and, as a result, should have a body to hold them accountable if the public trust or ethics are violated. In Baltimore County, the OIG is the Executive Director of the Ethics Commission, so there is a conflict of interest in that body serving as an overseer. When considering the federal model, OIGs are subject to Integrity Committees composed of former or current IGs or ethics officials from various sectors. They receive, review, and refer for investigation allegations of wrongdoing against OIG offices and its staff.
What steps must the county take to improve public safety?
The county should invest resources in data-driven, evidence-based strategies that reduce property crime, prevent violent crime, and focus on interventions that address low-level, non-violent misdemeanors resulting from mental health, substance use disorders, and residential instability. Studies show that officer visibility and regular patrol activity decrease violent crime, property crime, and calls for service. Proactive community and police engagement reduce fear of crime and strengthen police-community relations. Improving the environmental design of the area (i.e., improve lighting, install security cameras, repair holes in the fence and broken windows, trim overgrown hedging, and maintain landscaping) deters property crime. Diversion to targeted treatment options that address the root cause of criminogenic risk (substance abuse, mental health issues, and residential instability) saves money, reduces jail overcrowding, improves community health, and ensures public safety.
How is climate change impacting the county and what can be done locally to address the effects?
Studies have shown that core values and a localized sense of community directly impact pro-environmental behaviors and how individuals care for their neighborhoods. Pollution, air quality, water quality, tree coverage, and preservation of natural habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife are essential to the communities and me on the east side of Baltimore County. While people care about these issues, there is not always an immediate desire to change our consumption, waste, and land-use behaviors. Solving the climate change problem starts at home. When residents change their consumption and land engagement behaviors, it directly impacts business behavior. When government agencies lead by example and incentivize pro-environmental engagement, it influences how quickly residents change their behaviors. The county should focus on funding local sustainability projects that move us toward zero net waste, invest in clean, renewable energy, preserve open space, and improve tree canopy. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/politics/elections/voter-guide/bs-2022-candidate-baltco-council-franciscry-20220517-yomqvtggynafnefyqn2votvvoe-story.html | 2022-05-17T21:41:03Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/politics/elections/voter-guide/bs-2022-candidate-baltco-council-franciscry-20220517-yomqvtggynafnefyqn2votvvoe-story.html | false | 2 |
