This 19-year-old just became her university’s youngest-ever law school graduate
DALLAS (Gray News) – A 19-year-old woman has just become the youngest person to ever graduate from law school at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
At age 16, Haley Taylor Schlitz was accepted into nine law schools across the country. She chose SMU’s Dedman School of Law, and three years later, she is now the school’s youngest law graduate ever, according to a news release from SMU.
Taylor Schlitz graduated Friday, and she plans to work on education policy issues for an elected official or non-profit organization. She is also interested in increasing the opportunities for gifted and talented girls and students of color.
As a fifth grader, Taylor Schlitz was not accepted into her public school’s gifted program. But her parents disagreed, knowing their daughter was gifted. So, they decided to homeschool her to better meet her educational needs, according to SMU.
“Many girls and students of color are left out of our nation’s gifted and talented programs,” Taylor Schlitz said in the news release. “Society will lose out on the potential scientist who cures a major disease, the entrepreneur who starts the next Amazon and so much more. All because of their gender and/or skin color.”
Through homeschooling, Taylor Schlitz graduated high school at age 13. By age 16, she had her undergraduate degree from Texas Woman’s University and was heading to law school.
Several media outlets are calling Taylor Schlitz the youngest Black law school graduate in the United States, but SMU could not independently confirm that to Gray News.
In her free time, Taylor Schlitz serves as a mentor in the Young Scholar Program, an organization in which young Black women mentor young Black girls to help them develop leadership skills. She is also a recurring opinion columnist for several media outlets and has published a book with her mother.

Pets bring a lot of fun, companionship and unconditional love into their owners’ lives. But you can guarantee that they will also bring their fair share of mess. Bissell, a company known for its floor cleaning products, is offering yet another remedy for in-home animal accidents. And the bonus is that it couldn’t be much easier to use.
Bissell Stomp ‘N Go Pet Lifting Pads + Oxy allow for quick cleanup of unpleasant pet messes. All you have to do is place one of the pads on the spot you want to clean up, stomp on it with your foot and then wait. For recent stains, leave the pad for 30 minutes. Let it stand for up to 24 hours for set-in or stubborn stains. Then, pick up the dirty pad and toss it in the trash, along with the stain.
There’s no scrubbing required. Instead, stepping on the treated pad releases the Oxy pet-stain destroyers in the pads. The cleaning formula works on contact to penetrate and lift away messes. The pads also have odor-eliminating properties, so you don’t have to worry about lingering smells. Instead, the pad leaves behind a long-lasting wildflower fragrance.
The pads are safe and easy to use on carpets, upholstery, pet beds, rugs and even car interiors. And while many folks use them to clean up pet stains, the pads can also clean up spilled wine, mud, cola, coffee and juice.
One package includes 20 pads, and they are available on Amazon, where they have nearly 7,000 ratings and an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. Customers highly recommend these pet stain cleaning pads, stating that they are easy to use and work well even on older stains.
“I’m pretty sure there is magic in these,” one reviewer wrote. “I have spent so many hours scrubbing at different spots on my area rugs (compliments of my monstrous dog with a sensitive stomach) and there are still spots that just won’t come clean. You literally lay these down, step on them for a few seconds and walk away. I generally leave it for 24 hours, but I’m not sure if that’s really necessary. The next day you can see the stain on the pad and the rug is spotless.”
Even people without pets have been impressed.
“I ordered these out of curiosity as the marketing claim seemed too good to be true,” another reviewer shared. “I applied one to a baked-in tea stain on the carpet of our rental. Came back 2 hours later and the stain was gone where the pad had been applied.”
Right now, the Bissell Stomp ‘N Go Pet Lifting Pads + Oxy are marked down to $24.99 on Amazon.
What would you clean up with these pads?

- Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found Mitopure™ Urolithin A improves muscle strength and exercise performance in middle-aged adults
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestlé Health Science, a globally recognized leader in the field of nutritional science, announced the publication of results from the ATLAS Trial in Cell Reports Medicine. The data show improvements in leg muscle strength in those who consumed a Mitopure supplement daily for four months. Mitopure, a proprietary form of Urolithin A made by Amazentis, works by supporting the cells' ability to renew their powerplants, the mitochondria. Declines in mitochondrial function occur during aging and are associated with declines in physical performance like slower walking speed, muscle fatigue and loss of strength. Using nutritional supplementation to support mitochondrial health is a new approach to help address age-associated declines in muscular and cellular health.
"It's very promising that we have more robust clinical data to support the benefit of Mitopure supplementation on muscle health and exercise-performance potential as we age," said Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Amazentis and study co-author. "Until recently, interventions to counteract age-associated muscle declines have been limited. Exercise and dietary approaches like higher protein intake are the most studied ways to help mitigate such declines, but we know that people don't always adhere closely to such regimens. What's particularly important is we're seeing Mitopure improve physical performance outcomes in the absence of an exercise regimen. These studies highlight the potential of Mitopure supplementation as a novel nutritional solution to help maintain muscle function in middle-aged adults."
As people age, a gradual decline in muscle mass and strength is natural, and environmental factors such as diet and exercise can affect the rate at which these declines occur. Stimulating mitophagy, the removal and recycling of dysfunctional mitochondria to promote mitochondrial synthesis, can help improve mitochondria function and promote overall cellular health. Previous research shows that Mitopure - which is molecularly identical to the natural gut microbiome-derived metabolite produced from foods like pomegranates, nuts, and berries - activates mitophagy.
The ATLAS Trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that examined the impact of daily supplementation with Mitopure (500 mg or 1000 mg) or placebo for 4 months on muscle performance in 88 sedentary adults aged 40-64 years. The trial endpoints included muscle strength, exercise tolerance and physical performance. The results are an important discovery in muscle health research and were as follows:
- Improvements in hamstring muscle strength were significantly greater among participants who consumed Mitopure daily at either the 500 mg (12% increase vs. baseline) or 1000 mg (10% increase vs. baseline) level compared to placebo. This is key, as maintaining muscle strength is important for healthy aging.
- Individuals consuming 1000 mg of Mitopure daily experienced clinically meaningful improvements in aerobic endurance (10% increase in peak oxygen consumption [VO2]) and physical performance (33 meter improvement in the 6 minute walk test), from baseline to 4 months.
- Mitopure supplementation enhanced cellular health as it relates to mitochondrial efficiency and reduced markers of inflammation, both important for optimal muscle function.
- Mitopure supplementation was also found to be safe and well-tolerated.
What's more, the ATLAS findings further build on data from recent trials studying the benefits of Mitopure supplementation. A randomized, crossover trial demonstrated improved bioavailability of Mitopure compared to food sources of Urolithin A, given that two-thirds of individuals do not have the appropriate microbiome to make UA from their diet alone. A randomized, controlled trial of adults aged 65-90 years found that daily supplementation of 1000 mg Mitopure significantly improved hand and leg muscle endurance at two months. Taken together, these studies show that Mitopure can positively impact muscle and cellular health in middle-age and older adults, which is impactful given that age-related declines in muscle mass and strength can start as early as age 40 years.
"We want to empower people to take control of how they're aging, and we continue to see the positive impact that Mitopure supplementation can have on muscle function and cellular health," said Rick Jentis, Global Category Head for Cellular Nutrition at Nestlé Health Science. "Celltrient Cellular Strength, which contains this proprietary form of Urolithin A, provides an accessible solution to help support muscle health as people age. Our goal is to continue rewriting the trajectory of aging by providing scientifically studied cellular nutrition options like Urolithin A."
The full study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov as: NCT03464500.
Urolithin A (UA) is a cellular nutrient that activates mitochondrial renewal to support efficient mitochondrial function, which is important for muscle strength and endurance. UA is formed by gut bacteria when foods containing ellagitannins, a beneficial plant compound, are consumed. However, about two-thirds of adults are not able to produce UA in this way, which is why supplementation may be beneficial.
Nestlé Health Science has introduced Celltrient™ Cellular Nutrition, a specialized range of nutritional solutions designed to support cellular health. Celltrient Cellular Strength offers Mitopure™, a proprietary form of UA. For more information on Celltrient Cellular Nutrition, visit www.celltrient.com.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 12, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Axsome's chemistry, manufacturing, and control ("CMC") practices were deficient with respect to AXS-07 and its manufacturing process; (2) as a result, Axsome was unlikely to submit the AXS-07 New Drug Application ("NDA") on its initially represented timeline; (3) the foregoing CMC issues remained unresolved at the time that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") reviewed the AXS-07 NDA; (4) accordingly, the FDA was unlikely to approve the AXS-07 NDA; (5) as a result of all the foregoing, Axsome had overstated AXS-07's regulatory and commercial prospects; and (6) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Axsome class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2221 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A lawsuit alleges a Salem, Oregon, police officer accused a Native American man of stealing a car he was working on, grabbed him, shoved him onto the hood of his police car and handcuffed him with no justification for arrest.
The lawsuit says the officer then placed Christopher Garza in the back of his patrol car and learned that Garza lived and worked at the auto shop property, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Garza on Tuesday filed the federal civil rights suit against Salem police and Salem Officer David Baker, a nine-year member of the department.
He alleges Baker held him on Sept. 17, 2021, with no reasonable suspicion or probable cause, used excessive force to handcuff him and violated his constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure.
Garza was with two Latino men at about 12:30 a.m. when Baker drove up, according to the lawsuit and a police report. One of them, a friend of Garza’s, had driven there because his car had overheated, according to Jason Kafoury, an attorney representing Garza, 47.
Angela Hedrick, a Salem police spokesperson, said the department would not comment on the pending litigation.
The suit seeks $20,000 in damages to cover Garza’s medical costs, seeks unspecified noneconomic damages for his “personal violation" and “racial stigmatization” and punitive damages to deter officers from stopping people without reasonable suspicion. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Native-American-man-sues-police-alleging-bogus-17179789.php | 2022-05-17T21:59:30Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Native-American-man-sues-police-alleging-bogus-17179789.php | true | 12 |
US Conducts Hypersonic Weapon Test
The test was conducted on Saturday off the coast of Southern California when a B-52 bomber released an Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW), the Air Force said in a statement
Washington: The US Air Force announced that it conducted a successful test of the Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) hypersonic missile over the weekend.
"A US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress successfully released an AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, off the Southern California coast, May 14," the US Air Force said in a press release.
"Following separation from the aircraft, the ARRW's booster ignited and burned for the expected duration, achieving hypersonic speeds five times greater than the speed of sound," it added.
Lt. Col. Michael Jungquist, 419th FLTS commander, said the test team made sure it executed the test flawlessly.
"Our highly-skilled team made history on this first air-launched hypersonic weapon. We're doing everything we can to get this game-changing weapon to the war fighter as soon as possible," he said.
According to the press statement, ARRW is designed to enable the U.S. to hold fixed, high-value, time-sensitive targets at risk in contested environments from stand-off distances. It will also expand precision-strike capabilities by enabling rapid response strikes against heavily defended land targets.
This comes after the AUKUS alliance, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, has announced plans to work together to develop high-speed weapons.
The US, China and Russia are among the top countries, that are leading in hypersonic weapons, whose speed and manoeuvrability make them difficult to track and intercept.
Earlier, the US had tested a hypersonic missile in mid-March. | http://www.indiandefensenews.in/2022/05/us-conducts-hypersonic-weapon-test.html | 2022-05-17T22:04:33Z | http://www.indiandefensenews.in/2022/05/us-conducts-hypersonic-weapon-test.html | true | 2 |
Washington Watch
The killing of Shireen Abu Akleh has left me furious. Furious that a wonderful woman journalist has been taken from the world. Furious because of the predictable way Israel has responded to this tragedy. And furious at the USA for its failure to take a principled stand to ensure that the truth is known about Shireen’s death and there’s accountability for it.
Much has already been written about Shireen. She’s a US citizen and a journalist who for the past 25 years has been reporting from Palestinian lands. She wasn’t just a journalist, she was a storyteller who, like other greats in her profession, was able to get “under the skin” of an event to lay bare its human drama. Where Palestinian officials failed, she succeeded.
Shireen endeavoured to bring to life the stories of individuals and families bearing up under the indignity, pain, and injustice of the occupation. Because of that, she posed a greater danger to the Israelis than any gunman ever could. She threatened their dehumanizing narrative that reduced Palestinians to faceless objects.
In this context, it was revealing that the Israeli military spokesperson described Shireen and her colleague, Ali Samodi, who was shot in the back, as being “armed with cameras, if you will permit me to say so.” That is what good journalists do— they arm themselves with cameras and laptops. They witness events as they happen and tell stories so that readers and viewers can understand the human drama that is unfolding. It appears that Israel finds this profoundly— even existentially— threatening. Why else would they have killed 20 Palestinian journalists since 2001 (according to the Committee to Protect Journalists)?
The Israeli response to Shireen’s killing has been predictable. Their hasbara (propaganda) machinery went into overdrive doing what they have always done— a combination of denying, lying, and obfuscating what may have happened.
Even before the military investigated the killing, the early Israeli response was that they were “looking into the possibility that journalists were injured, possibly by Palestinian gunfire.” Another spokesperson added: “I don’t think we killed her…if we indeed killed her, we’ll take responsibility, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.” While this effort at deflection was taking place, the Israelis took another tack claiming that they had offered to conduct a joint investigation with the Palestinians— while even the Israeli press was noting that no such offer had been made. After reading press reports of this “joint investigation” the Palestinians rejected the “offer” saying “no one approached us and no one offered anything…Whoever wants a joint investigation knows who to turn to.” This led an Israeli minister to suggest that the Palestinian refusal was “perhaps to cover up the truth.”
The effort to obfuscate and deflect blame was also in evidence in an Israeli Foreign Ministry tweet which read: “Palestinian terrorists, firing indiscriminately, are likely to have hit…Shireen Abu Aqla.” While Prime Minister Bennett added, “Our forces from the IDF returned fire as accurately, carefully, and responsibly as possible. Sadly…Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in the exchange.”
The US refusal to hold Israel to the same standard it insists upon for other countries is upsetting. More so in this case because Shireen is a journalist and a US citizen. In the more than four decades that I’ve been bringing cases of US citizens who’ve been killed, arrested without charge, tortured, had properties confiscated, or been denied entry, the US response has been the same: expressions of concern; quietly discussing the matter with the Israelis; and then doing nothing, as the issue is forgotten.
To create further confusion, the Israelis offered a video which they claimed showed the direction from which the bullets may have been fired by Palestinians. An Israeli human rights group using satellite maps debunked this claim by showing that it was impossible for Palestinian gunmen, given where they were located, to have fired through walls and around corners and hit Shireen and Ali.
To answer why the Israelis engage in such a relentless effort to obfuscate, we need only look at an article that appeared in the Israeli press the day after Shireen’s killing. Written by the Israeli general who had been in charge of the division that was responsible for killing 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Durrah in 2000. That killing was captured on camera and the image of a little boy being shielded by his father amidst a hail of bullets became iconic. In the article, the general confesses that he erred in immediately accepting responsibility, noting that in the days that followed other “explanations” were posited—including positing that it was all a hoax staged by the Palestinians to besmirch the good name of the Israeli military. The lesson he learned was to not admit to anything up front. Instead, wait until you have talking points that can muddy the waters for the Israeli public and Israel’s supporters abroad.
This is the approach suggested by the famous Marx Brothers’ comedic line: “Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?” And it’s been used by the Israelis from the very beginning— e.g. “Palestinians weren’t expelled from their homes in 1948. Arab armies called on them to leave”— despite all historical evidence to the contrary. It might be a lie, but if it’s plausible enough to convince or confuse the Israeli public and Israel’s supporters in the international community, then use it.
Finally, there’s the equally frustratingly predictable US response to Shireen’s killing that was in evidence at the State Department briefing the day of the killing. The spokesperson opened with: “We are absolutely heartbroken to learn of the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh…We send our deepest condolences…and strongly condemn her killing as we do the killing of journalists around the world…We call for an immediate and thorough and full investigation and full accountability. Investigating attacks on independent media and prosecuting those responsible are of paramount importance.”
That resolve, however, faded under intense questioning by the journalists present at the press session. While insisting that the investigation be full and thorough and that there be accountability, the spokesperson resorted to the usual deflections. When reporters pointed to instances where Israel either exonerated itself or only offered a slap on the wrist to its forces who had been found guilty of atrocities, the spokesperson would only reaffirm that the US had full confidence in Israel’s ability to investigate itself.
The US refusal to hold Israel to the same standard it insists upon for other countries is upsetting. More so in this case because Shireen is a journalist and a US citizen. In the more than four decades that I’ve been bringing cases of US citizens who’ve been killed, arrested without charge, tortured, had properties confiscated, or been denied entry, the US response has been the same: expressions of concern; quietly discussing the matter with the Israelis; and then doing nothing, as the issue is forgotten.
The result is that Israel operates with a sense of impunity and Palestinians are left defenseless. In the case of Palestinian Americans, the message sent is that to the Israelis and to our own government our US citizenship offers no special protection. And so, I’m furious. | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/18/i-am-furious/ | 2022-05-17T22:08:10Z | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/18/i-am-furious/ | true | 2 |
HARRISBURG, Pa. — With the Senate majority at stake in the fall, eyes across the country are watching the Senate race in Pennsylvania, another test of former President Donald Trump’s influence over the Republican Party.
Trump’s status as Republican kingmaker is being questioned as his pick for Senator, celebrity surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, remains locked in a three-way race with two other self-described MAGA candidates.
As of May 17, Oz was polling at 26.8 percent, political commentator Kathy Barnette at 24.2 percent and hedge fund manager David McCormick at 19.6 percent, according to a RealClearPolitics average.
Trump’s April endorsement of Oz has divided Republicans, some of whom question the veracity of his conservative stances.
“I take his endorsement and opinion under advisement, but I feel I’m an intelligent voter. I study all the candidates, I listen to the debates, I check the information in the papers and on the internet and on television, and I make my decision independently,” said Joe Esposito, a Republican from Lewisberry who said he ultimately voted for McCormick.
Oz is also facing a late surge by Barnette, who is also campaigning on Trump issues. Her rise has drawn renewed scrutiny of her record and multiple outlet’s coverage of what some are calling Islamophobic tweets.
McCormick is also pressing ahead with his own “American First”-style campaign.
“From the very first day I’ve run on a set of Trump policies because I think they were great for Pennsylvania, great for America. But in the end this isn’t about endorsements. This is about the voters of Pennsylvania picking the person they think will represent them the best,” he said at a campaign event on May 11.
The close race may be a signal that Trump supporters are less loyal to the man himself than to his policies.
Former Ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands is a longshot candidate, polling at 6 percent. But on the campaign trail on Election Day, she continued to tout her Trump-aligned policy stances.
“President Trump is beloved by many Republican voters and they loved his policies whether they liked him or not,” Sands said.
Trump also waded into the gubernatorial primary over the weekend by endorsing far-right candidate Doug Mastriano. | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/politics/elections/pennsylvania-primary-us-senate-republican-party-donald-trump-influence/521-bf41a8d8-63f6-4222-a0d6-a16fab85afb8 | 2022-05-17T22:08:58Z | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/politics/elections/pennsylvania-primary-us-senate-republican-party-donald-trump-influence/521-bf41a8d8-63f6-4222-a0d6-a16fab85afb8 | false | 3 |
ALFRED, Maine (AP) — A Maine man whose murder conviction was overturned by the state's highest court will have to pay $200,000 in bail to leave jail while he awaits a new trial.
Bruce Akers has been held without bail since his 2016 arrest stemming from the death of his neighbor, Douglas Flint. He was initially found guilty and sentenced to 38 years in prison, but the court overturned the conviction last year.
Akers' case was in court for a hearing on Tuesday. His attorney, Kristine Hanly, asked that he be released, the Portland Press Herald reported. The judge instead set the bail at $200,000.
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled last year that police violated Akers' rights, and evidence and statements from officers should have been suppressed.
Flint was reported missing before police searched Akers' property. Investigators found Flint's body under a pile of deer carcasses and debris.

See full statement from the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana (CIOG):
The Central Islamic Organization of Guyana (CIOG) is calling for action to end the epidemic of road traffic accidents caused by drunk drivers.
Too many lives are being wasted and shattered. Driving under the influence causes premature deaths, and it also has devastating effects on survivors and their families due to permanent disabilities, mental health issues, and loss of productivity leading to financial strain.
The drunk driving plague must be addressed.
We call on Guyanese authorities to enforce laws.
Our roads should not be killing grounds. Actively combat the problem by enforcing blood alcohol content laws, setting up sobriety checkpoints, and requiring mandatory alcohol abuse classes for offenders. Let them hear from the first responders who pick up the pieces and from the medical staff that try to put the pieces back together and from the families whose lives have been ruined. Provide incentives for alcohol-serving establishments to ensure that patrons do not drive drunk from their premises. In addition, regularly distribute pamphlets to educate the public so that they understand that alcohol diminishes and impairs judgment, depth perception, and vital motor skills required to drive safely.
We call on Guyanese society to adjust its mindset and change its culture.
Modern roadways are filled with vehicles that weigh tons, making it more critical for drivers to act responsibly. As a society, let us spread awareness and let us encourage ourselves and others to act responsibly.
The decision begins with individuals. Choose not to drink and drive. Make the decision before you begin drinking and before you become impaired from the alcohol. Arrange to have a designated sober driver, either someone you know personally or a trusted taxi service (cost could be shared by multiple people in your party). It’s a choice that could save innocent lives and avoid unimaginable suffering.
Do not drink and drive. Do not let your loved ones drink and drive. Do not let your friends drink and drive. This is not always easy to achieve. It might require you to get out of bed at 2 am to pick up a family member or friend. It might require you to take the vehicle key away from a person whom you normally admire and respect and who is assuring you that they’re “fine.” It may feel disrespectful to override the assurances that they are “okay to drive,” but remember that their judgment is impaired. The goal is for everyone to get home safely and wake up to another day without regret.
In conclusion, let us live the motto — IF YOU ARE DRINKING, DO NOT DRIVE – no exceptions. It is commonsense and it is the right thing to do. | https://www.inewsguyana.com/ciog-calls-on-guyanese-to-change-culture-of-drinking-and-driving/ | 2022-05-17T22:11:38Z | https://www.inewsguyana.com/ciog-calls-on-guyanese-to-change-culture-of-drinking-and-driving/ | true | 2 |

TORONTO, May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honour of International Museum Day (May 18th) and May is Museum Month, the Ontario Museum Association (OMA) encourages Ontarians to visit the 700 museums, galleries and heritage sites across the province and in their communities.

The 3 Biggest Challenges to Marketing in the Metaverse
Executives and entrepreneurs should be taking the metaverse's wide-open, nearly limitless marketing possibilities very seriously. Here are several of the most significant challenges companies are facing as they brave this digital terra incognita.
Marketing in the metaverse is like setting up a website in the earliest days of the internet, or hanging up a dusty wooden shingle in the 19th century Old West. It can be extremely difficult to know how much time and resources to invest in a venture that is highly experimental in nature and far from guaranteed to yield financial success or meet many other key performance indicators (KPIs).
That's how the current conventional wisdom might have it, at least, exhorting people to practice caution and circumspection over something so nascent, so unproven, so forbiddingly opaque (at least to some).
The reality, however, is that mid-size and large companies with an interest in establishing a long-lasting relationship with the younger half of the millennial generation and Gen Z really shouldn't be thinking about marketing in the metaverse as a hypothetical to wring their hands and hem and haw over.
As Facebook's massive rebrand and $10 billion investment in its own metaverse attest — among other large, blaring indicators — many of the keenest, most powerful minds in technology are betting that this is not some passing fancy or pandemic-fueled phenomenon but rather the natural evolution of the internet itself. Because of that, executives and entrepreneurs should be taking its wide-open, nearly limitless marketing possibilities very seriously. Below are several of the most significant challenges I see companies facing as they start to brave this digital terra incognita.
1. Deciding which metaverse to market in
The first challenge is also the most obvious one. Despite popular misconceptions, the metaverse is not a single place. Rather, it's an ecosystem of immersive virtual worlds that are all competing to host users, events, play-to-earn games and everything else that makes these platforms such exciting alternatives and complements to physical reality. There are currently several major players in the space, including Decentraland, Sandbox and Roblox. Prospective advertisers should study each of these platforms and develop a working knowledge of their respective demographics, land costs, growth opportunities and monthly users before deciding where to target their meta-marketing push.
Roblox, for example, generally caters to a younger demographic, and companies should be aware that spending advertising dollars in that particular metaverse will be going toward exposure to tweens, teens and early twentysomethings. Decentraland, on the other hand, is positioning itself as a platform for adults interested in major, inimitable events like the Metaverse Fashion Week it held in late March.
Over time, the distinctions between these platforms will probably only increase, making it even more imperative that companies do their due diligence in choosing their virtual landing spots.

2. Understanding the means of engagement
This is perhaps the trickiest and most important challenge companies and advertising firms currently face when approaching and interfacing with the metaverse. The logic and logistics of marketing in places like Decentraland and Sandbox are dramatically different than they are in the physical world, and the gap can be explained in these simple, concise terms: Metaverse users want an authentic experience.
This is not the world of billboards, commercials, print advertisements and banner ads. That era of marketing, which is still very much with us, did not try to disguise their advertisements as anything other than unambiguous attempts at attracting your eye and getting your business.
But the world of marketing in the metaverse is different, less about one-dimensional showcases for your product than the creation of imaginative, highly-interactive, three-dimensional experiences. Let's take a particularly germane example: Gucci Garden.
Related: 3 Steps Brands Must Take to Win the Metaverse
In May 2021, the Italian fashion label hosted a two-week virtual space on the Roblox metaverse platform. As they entered Gucci Garden, Roblox users transformed into naked, faceless mannequins. Going through each room in the exhibition space, which featured courtyards, garden parties, subways and other "levels" reminiscent of traditional video games, the mannequins gradually absorb features of their surroundings.
By the end of the experience — which also included hidden items like dresses and sunglasses that users could buy with Robux — your temporary mannequin avatar is festooned with vibrant colors and patterns that reflect the experience of traveling through Gucci’s strange and occasionally enchanting venue.
While Gucci Garden is by no means some kind of dazzling adventure with resplendent graphics and thrilling gameplay, it is a relatively impressive example of how companies can treat metaverse users to a living, breathing event that is far more dynamic than traditional marketing techniques.
Marketing in the metaverse means launching auctions, opening exhibitions, hosting parties and generally giving users and their avatars something intriguing and unprecedented that they've never seen before. Whatever industry you're in or products you're looking to elevate, conceiving of something like that will prove to be a significant but wholly worthwhile task.

3. Gauging performance
KPIs include everything from financial measurements like net profit, revenue and sales to customer-focused metrics like customer retention and satisfaction. Suffice it to say, marketing in the metaverse is not going to lend itself to many of these KPIs at this point in the ongoing evolution of these infant platforms. Instead, companies and their executives should be focused on one measurement above all others: engagement. The more users companies are able to engage and entertain through their marketing experiences, the more successful the venture should be deemed.
While a KPI like "clickthroughs" to your Web2 website may eventually become an important measuring stick, right now it's enough to succeed at the level of brand awareness in these virtual worlds. In several years, when millions of people will be congregating in Sandbox, Decentraland and Meta's forthcoming metaverse Juggernaut, the companies that have been diligently cultivating engagement for the longest will be in an excellent position to start introducing a trove of other KPIs.

Hot Stocks: Airlines soar; JMIA jumps on earnings; HPK, BZFD drop; TDW sets high
Stocks rallied on Tuesday, overcoming a choppy session as investors searched for bargains among beaten-down names. The Nasdaq led the advance, climbing by about 2.8%.
Airlines were among the contributors to the general advance. United Airlines (UAL) climbed on strong guidance, carrying American Airlines (AAL), JetBlue (JBLU), Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) along with it.
Jumia Technologies (NYSE:JMIA) was another standout gainer. Shares expanded their value by almost a third following the release of a strong earnings report.
Meanwhile, Tidewater (TDW) extended its recent post-earnings momentum, driving to yet another 52-week high.
On the other side of the ledger, HighPeak Energy (HPK) posted a double-digit percentage decline following the release of its latest financial figures. At the same time, earnings news also weighed on Buzzfeed (BZFD), sending the stock to a new post-SPAC low.
Sector In Focus
An upbeat forecast from United Airlines (UAL) prompted buying throughout the sector, as investors bet on a continued rebound in travel.
UAL soared nearly 8% on the day after the company raised its forecast for a closely watched revenue metric. The airline said it expects total revenue per available seat mile to rise 23%-25%, compared to its previous target of 17%.
American Airlines (AAL) and JetBlue (JBLU) saw strength as well, both posting an advance of around 8%. Delta Air Lines (DAL) rose almost 7%, while Southwest Airlines (LUV) climbed by more than 4%.
Standout Gainer
A promising earnings report triggered a wave of buying in shares of Jumia Technologies (JMIA). The Africa-focused e-commerce company saw its stock surge by 31%.
The company's adjusted EBITDA loss deepened in Q1 compared to last year. However, active consumers climbed almost 29% to 3.1M. Revenue also increased, advancing 44%.
JMIA jumped $1.71 to close at $7.24. The rally added to recent gains, as the stock came further off a 52-week low of $4.48 set last week.
The stock has climbed almost 62% from its low. However, JMIA still remains about 40% lower for 2022 as a whole.
Standout Loser
HighPeak Energy (HPK) suffered massive selling pressure in the wake of its latest quarterly report. The stock plunged almost 15% on the news.
The company reported a net loss for its latest quarter, dragged down by a $66M derivative loss. The firm's income from operations surged from last year.
HPK also warned that inflation would impact its costs.
Following the earnings report, HPK finished at $27.98, a decline of $4.83 on the session. Tuesday's retreat reversed some of the gains posted over the previous few days.
Notable New High
Tidewater (TDW) pushed further higher on Tuesday, rising nearly 7% and extended gains seen since its earnings report earlier this month. The stock also extended its 52-week high.
On May 9, TDW reported better-than-expected quarterly results. The report included revenue that surged nearly 27% from last year.
The stock has finished higher in each of the sessions since that announcement, with Tuesday representing its sixth consecutive day of gains. This included a 17% advance on Monday.
TDW rose $1.69 to close at $26.65. Shares have climbed 35% since the release of the firm's earnings report. The stock has soared almost 137% since the beginning of the year.
Notable New Low
Weak results spurred a sharp decline in Buzzfeed (BZFD). Shares of the online media firm dropped nearly 9% to reach their lowest level since coming public last year in a SPAC deal.
The company revealed a wider-than-expected loss for Q1. Revenue rose 26% from last year but also came in below the amount that analysts had predicted.
Hurt by the financial figures, BZFD plunged to an intraday 52-week low of $3.19. Shares cut their losses before the close but still finished lower by 33 cents at $3.36.
The stock has been falling steadily over the past two weeks. BZFD dropped 38% since the close on May 4.

Senator Paul Gavan, Tom Collopy, Cllr Sharon Benson and Deputy Maurice Quinlivan
SINN Féin has announced the co-option of Tom Collopy to fill the seat on Limerick City and County Council which was vacatd by Cllr John Costelloe earlier this year.
The decision, by members of the Clancy/O'Callaghan Cumman will see Mr Collopy formally take his seat, representing the Limerick City North LEA, at the next full meeting of the local authority.
Commenting on the selection of Mr Collopy, Joseph Kearney, chairman of Sinn Fein in Limerick city said: “A Limerick man born and bred, Tom hails from the King’s Island area of the constituency, right in the heart of the Limerick City North LEA. The people of Limerick City North entrusted their votes in two Sinn Féin candidates during the 2019 Local Elections and it was imperative that we as a party ensured the continued representation of the people of that area."
Mr Kearney added that Tom Collopy, who lives at Assumpta Park, Island Road, is an integral part of the local party and has held several roles within the local party structures. He also contested the local elections in 2009.
The soon-to-be councillor said he is "extremely humbled" to have been selected by his party colleagues.
"I have big shoes to fill but alongside the support and guidance of our Party Leader, Sharon Benson, I have no doubt I’ll fit right in. Over the last number of years our party, through our team of councillors and our TD Maurice Quinlivan have ensured the people of King’s Island and Thomondgate got the representation that they deserve, and I will work hard to ensure that work continues.”
Deputy Maurice Quinlivan added that he was delighted to see Tom Collopy accept the nomination to the role.
"I have known Tom for a long time now and I have no doubt in his ability to carry out the role of councillor for Limerick City North. I look forward to working closely with Tom and the rest of our Council Team to ensure the people of Limerick are represented both locally and nationally on the issues that concern them most.”

Runaway tortoise returned to family over 200 days later
AKRON, Ohio (WEWS) – We all know why the chicken crossed the road, but how about a reptile in Ohio?
A turtle in Avon Lake fled his home and was gone for more than half a year before being returned to his owners.
The turtle, Tiny Tim, has places to go and things to see as a rebellious reptile.
Vanessa Baker met Tiny Tim on her fourth birthday, and together, they’ve celebrated every birthday since.
“Well, now he’s the size of my 15-year-old hands,” she said.
It didn’t take Tiny Tim long to become a member of the family.
“Most people that know me know I have a tortoise,” Katie Baker, Vanessa’s mother, said.
One day last fall, Tiny Tim made his move.
There was a pint-sized hole in his outdoor enclosure that he escaped through.
“With a lost dog, you know, there is kind of a protocol with that,” Katie Baker said. “With a lost tortoise, it’s all about who lives near us.”
The family posted to Facebook and posted his mugshot on flyers.
“This was out all over the neighborhood,” Katie Baker said.
Weeks went by, then months. Winter came and left, and Tiny Tim was three shells to the wind.
“Didn’t hear anybody seeing him or anything,” Katie Baker said. “It was kind of … we lost hope for sure.”
The winter’s snow eventually gave way to spring, and 223 days after his great escape, the four-legged fugitive passed by the home of self-proclaimed reptile enthusiast Clayton Johnson.
“He was moving pretty fast for a tortoise,” Clayton said.
Clayton isn’t just any 12-year-old. The future herpetologist knew without a doubt that Tiny Tim belonged to someone.
When Clayton posted images of the tortoise, the Bakers were shell-shocked. They said they immediately began receiving calls.
In seven months, Tiny Tim had made it about a mile, played Frogger in traffic, and was looking for love in all the wrong places.
“It was just really heartwarming,” Clayton said. “I’ve never really had an experience like this, so it was really nice to get him back to where he belongs.”
The Bakers are beyond grateful for Clayton’s keen eye.
Now, they know they can’t let Tiny Tim out of their sight again.
Russian tortoises live to be up to 50 years old, which means Tiny Tim will have plenty of time to try again.

Calling it an ‘incredibly difficult decision’ the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society has announced it is closing the doors of its Comox Valley visitor centre and gift shop temporarily.
The recent confirmed case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a poultry flock in the Comox Valley, has made it a necessary move, the Merville-based MARS stated in a recent media release.
“Our priority is our commitment to the safety and well-being of our resident ambassador birds (eagles, owls, and crows) and wildlife patients and we hope that this additional precautionary measure will help reduce the risk of on-site transmission of the virus,” MARS spokesperson Jane Sproull Thomson said in the release. “We plan to continue to educate and engage the public in a variety of ways, so stay tuned for updates.”
The Wildlife Hospital remains open, but the temporary closure of our visitor centre will drastically reduce funds at a time when they are most needed. It is “baby season” at MARS and the influx of injured and orphaned baby birds, raccoon kits, and other small mammals has begun.
“Our biggest expenses at this time of year are typically food and nursery supplies, but we also need to purchase additional personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies to combat HPAI,” Sproull Thomson said.
“We hope to be able to reopen our visitor centre to the public soon, but in the meantime we are calling on our supporters for help. Any contribution you can make to our animal care fund would be very much appreciated.”
Check the organization’s website for information on how to help.
Some updates to the MARS HPAI prevention protocols are outlined below.
• Increased biosecurity measures for the MARS site. This includes sanitizing footbaths, a separate patient admission building, quarantine zones for different species, and covering the ambassador enclosures. Our infection control plan will be available on our website soon.
• If you are bringing an injured animal or donation to MARS, please remain in your vehicle. Call the hospital at 250-337-2021 ext. 0 to speak to rehab staff. The staff will come retrieve the animal or donation from your vehicle.
• Do not bring deceased wild birds to MARS. Please call MARS at 250-337-2021 for guidance. You can also report suspicious bird deaths to the bird hotline: 1-866-431-BIRD (2473).
• The organization is currently unable to accept donations of poultry, waterfowl, or eggs as food for the animals.

A mother put multiple morphine painkilling patches on her two infant sons before stabbing them because she didn’t want them to feel pain, a jury heard today.
The Antrim Crown Court jury of six men and six women also heard on Tuesday the 41-year-old “highly qualified nurse” who has gone on trial for the murder and attempted murder of her two young sons, had penned several notes on the morning she stabbed them, writing in one that she gave them medication because “she didn’t want them to experience pain”.
Other “suicide notes” said “I’m taking my kids with me because I can’t leave them with their dad” and “I don’t want to feel completely torn apart when I am taking the life of my own kids”.
Before the prosecution opened the trial, Judge Patricia Smyth warned the jury they had “to be prepared to hear evidence that may upset you” but that they had to set aside any sympathy, prejudice or emotion and assess the evidence in a calm way.
The 41-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is accused of murdering her two years and ten month old son and attempting to murder her other son, aged 11 months, on March 2, 2020.
Judge Smyth told the jury “there is no dispute” that the defendant stabbed the children but rather, “what is in dispute is her mental state at the relevant time”.
According to prosecution QC Charles MacCreanor, while doctors found that the defendant does suffer from some form of personality disorder or possibly autism, he told the jury they would hear evidence from doctors who treated her at the Shannon Clinic that she was “feigning symptoms - feigning symptoms and malingering”.
The barrister added: “In simple terms, in my words, she was putting it on, making it up, fabricating the complaints and while some of what she said is or could be accurate, she is considered to be unreliable in the history that she gave.
“We naturally say that there is a compelling case here and evidence before you of the defendant committing murder and attempted murder.”
The court heard that the day at the began at the family home in the rural Maghaeramorne area near Larne, in an entirely normal way with everyone up early, and away for school and work by 9am. But within an hour, one child would be dead and the other rushed to hospital for life saving surgery.
The boys’ father received a text from the defendant, the court was told, asking if they “could talk” and when he suggested leaving the issue until after he finished work, the defendant sent him a message saying “f*** you”.
“He ignored that,” said the lawyer, but he added that within the next 20 minutes, the father had received more text messages saying “I’m sorry….I killed the bots [auto corrected from boys] and I’m dying”.
“He immediately phoned her back and she answers the phone…and she says to him, ‘Did you phone an ambulance’ and then the phone’s hung up,” Mr MacCreanor told the jury.
Rushing home, he kicked the front door off its hinges and ran into the heavily blood stained master bedroom where he found his partner on the bed, saturated with blood, and his children “just looking lifeless”.
In a scene described by defence QC Kieran Mallon as “just carnage,” the jury heard how the little boy who died had suffered stab wounds which had punctured his air way, transected an artery and vein which resulted in a “fairly rapid loss of life” in addition to a stab wound to his chest which had caused a collapsed lung and would of itself had been life endangering if not treated.
When police first arrived, his little brother was feeding from his mum but when a Constable took him to check him over, he began “screaming in distress” and was found to have suffered two punctures wounds, one to his neck and one to his abdomen, the court heard.
As he was taken from her, the jury heard how the 5-inch knife used to stab the children was being held between mother and son and an officer set it to one side.
Mr MacCreanor told the jury the baby’s wounds had come close to severing his jugular vein and that he had sustained a partial collapsed lung, adding that had his injuries not been treated, the little boy’s injuries “were life threatening”.
The defendant herself had also sustained injuries, stab wounds to the left side of her chest and neck and although the jury heard the bed where she was lying was saturated in blood, but “we are not talking life threatening injuries”.
Eventually questioned by police, she claimed she “had no memory of what might have happened to her children” and asked if she stabbed the boys to punish her partner, “she said she could not recall”.
Turning to legal issues that the jury would have to focus on, Mr MacCreanor said there was “no question” the defendant stabbed her sons but the defence team had raised a “partial defence” that she was suffering from an abnormality of mind that substantially effected her thinking and perceptions of judgement.
He explained that if they were “firmly convinced” the defendant intended to kill or cause really serious harm, they would find her guilty but if they considered it “more likely than not” that she was suffering such a significant abnormality of mind that it affected her thinking, they would find her guilty of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
Const Kerrigan, the first officer who arrived at the scene, said the boys’ father was “frantic, totally panicked…he was white, almost grey….crying uncontrollably”.
“He was standing, leaning, falling to the floor sometimes, over the central island in the kitchen saying things like ‘the boys are dead, she’s killed my boys’ and just crying,” said the officer, “he was just completely broken”.
She told junior prosecuting counsel Michael Chambers that when she went into the bedroom, the paramedic treating the older boy “just looked at me and shook his head…his little body was just limp”.
The trial continues.
At hearing.

Abreu drives in 2, Cease Ks 9, White Sox top Royals 3-0
By DAVID SMALE
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jose Abreu hit a two-run double in a three-run fifth inning, Dylan Cease pitched scoreless ball into the sixth, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 3-0 in the first game of a doubleheader. Cease wrangled out of trouble throughout, allowing runners in every inning. He gave up seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, with nine strikeouts — several in clutch situations. The Royals struck out 14 times overall, went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 runners. They have lost seven of 10. Kansas City’s Salvador Perez left the game in the seventh with a left thumb sprain. | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/05/17/abreu-drives-in-2-cease-ks-9-white-sox-top-royals-3-0/ | 2022-05-17T22:43:27Z | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/05/17/abreu-drives-in-2-cease-ks-9-white-sox-top-royals-3-0/ | false | null |
The 2022 French Open is just around the corner with all eyes now on who will be competing at Roland-Garros.
A total of 128 men and women will be vying for singles' titles with Novak Djokovic and Barbora Krejcikova looking to defend their crowns.
While the path to the French Open is simple for some players, it's not so straightforward for others.
How does French Open qualifying work?
The 104 highest-ranked men and women that sign up for the French Open automatically qualify for the Grand Slam.
Players can also qualify based on the protected ranking system which ensures a previous high-placing is honoured even if a player drops as a result of injury or inactivity. For example, Stan Wawrinka will compete in 2022 using this method despite seeing his ranking drop to No. 246 at the start of May.
For those without a good enough ranking or protected ranking, the next best players wanting to compete at the event are placed into qualifying rounds with 16 spots up for grabs.
Players are put in 16 groups of eight with whoever wins three straight games in their section securing their place at the French Open. Sometimes finalists, known as 'lucky losers', are also given a qualifying spot.
After all that, eight further players are then gifted a place at the French Open as wild cards.
These wild cards are selected at the discretion of the tournament organisers with local players and returning big names who have failed to qualify directly often selected.
In 2021, seven out of eight French Open wild cards for both the men's and women's singles draws were players from France.
When is French Open qualifying?
French Open qualifying in 2022 begins on May 16 and will conclude four days later on May 20.
The French Open officially begins on May 22 giving qualifiers a short turnaround to prepare for the Grand Slam once they book their spot.

Has a qualifier ever won a Grand Slam?
Emma Raducanu became the first qualifier in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title when she triumphed at the US Open in 2021.
The British teenager remarkably didn't drop a set during qualifying or in the tournament to show qualifiers are capable of causing an upset at Grand Slams.
At the French Open in 2021, no qualifier made it to the fourth round but both Carlos Alcaraz and Henri Laaksonen made it to the third round in the men's singles. | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/tennis/news/french-open-2022-qualifying-draw-results-wild-cards-who-will-compete-roland-garros/ogripi5fou8epm4ubfcspjxw | 2022-05-17T22:45:28Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/tennis/news/french-open-2022-qualifying-draw-results-wild-cards-who-will-compete-roland-garros/ogripi5fou8epm4ubfcspjxw | true | 6 |
(The Hill) – A House Intelligence subcommittee on Tuesday held the first congressional hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years.
Testimony was heard from Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray, who are overseeing the Pentagon’s new task force investigating what are now being called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Here are highlights from the hearing.
The Pentagon wants to destigmatize UAP reporting
Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.), the chairman of the House Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation Subcommittee, began the meeting with a call to destigmatize UAP reporting for pilots and other military officials.
Carson said the stigma around UAP reporting has “gotten in the way of good intelligence reporting.”
“Pilots avoided reporting or were laughed at when they did,” Carson said. “[Defense Department] officials relegated the issue to the backroom or swept it under the rug entirely, fearful of a skeptical national security community.”
Bray responded that the Pentagon was working to destigmatize UAP reporting and was, in fact, actively encouraging it now.
“We also spent considerable efforts engaging directly with our naval aviators to help destigmatize the act of reporting sights and encounters,” he said. “The direct results of those efforts have been increased reporting. … The message is now clear: if you see something, you need to report it.”
The UAP database has now logged around 400 encounters
A report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released last year found 144 unexplained UAP encounters from 2004 to 2021.
On Tuesday, Bray said the number of reported UAP encounters has since climbed to around 400. But some of the encounters were historical or anecdotal, and Bray said he expects the number to drop over time.
The Pentagon on Tuesday declassified a video clip of one unexplained UAP encounter, which shows a pilot at a U.S. Navy training base encountering a strange spherical object zipping by at an extremely high speed.
Intelligence officials also released one image of a debunked UAP encounter involving strange glowing triangles in the sky.
An investigation revealed the triangles were actually unmanned drones, according to Bray.
Lawmakers said UAPs are a national security threat
Several lawmakers called UAPs a potential national security threat to the U.S.
Carson said the UAPs “are real, they need to be investigated, and the many threats they pose need to be investigated.”
Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) also warned of potentially dangerous implications for Americans, especially if any of the UAPs were a “technical surprise” from foreign nations.
“The intelligence community has a serious duty to our taxpayers to prevent potential adversaries, such as China and Russia, from surprising us with unforeseen technologies,” Crawford said.
During his opening remarks, Bray acknowledged that UAPs “represent serious hazards” and potential national security threats.
Top intelligence official discussed effort to combat UAP misinformation
Moultrie discussed how the UAP task force would work to dispel false information around aerial phenomena while authenticating valid encounters.
The Pentagon’s top intelligence official said organizations, civilians or even other countries can spread or promote false images or encounters. He called any intentional red herrings “harmful” to the task force’s investigation.
“Anything that diverts us off with what we have … sends us off on spurious chases and hunts that are just not helpful,” Moultrie said. “They also contribute to the undermining of the confidence the Congress and the American people have.”
Pentagon plans to be more transparent with declassifying information
Carson pressed both Bray and Moultrie repeatedly on whether they would seek to be more transparent with the public than the Pentagon has in the past, citing previous programs that he noted were shrouded in secrecy.
Both Bray and Moultrie said they were committed to being as transparent as possible, explaining they would declassify information when it does not pose a national security risk and if it is under their purview to do so.
Moultrie said in the past three or four months, the Pentagon has “disclosed more information on various events than it has in the previous 10 years.”
“You have our commitment to work closely with the director of national intelligence,” he said, “to make sure we can get whatever information we can out to the American people.” | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/national-news/five-things-to-know-about-the-congressional-ufo-hearing/ | 2022-05-17T22:47:03Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/national-news/five-things-to-know-about-the-congressional-ufo-hearing/ | false | 21 |
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.

NEW YORK — Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey was suspended for 60 games by Major League Baseball on Tuesday for distributing a prohibited drug of abuse, a punishment stemming from his admission of providing opioids to a teammate who fatally overdosed.
The former New York Mets star also admitted in February during a federal trial in Texas stemming from Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs' death that he used cocaine while in New York and California.
Harvey, a 33-year-old right-hander, agreed last month to a minor league contract with the Orioles that called for a $150,000 salary while in the minor leagues, a $1 million salary while in the major leagues and a $500,000 assignment bonus if traded while under a major league contract. He has been working out at Baltimore's extended spring training facility and has not pitched in any games.
During the trial of former Los Angeles Angels employee Eric Kay, Harvey, pitchers Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian and first baseman C.J. Cron testified and described recreational drug use allegedly going on in and around the Angels when they played for the team.

After saying he was subpoenaed and testifying only because he had immunity from prosecution, Harvey acknowledged being a cocaine user before and during his season with the Angels in 2019. He said he tried oxycodone provided by pitcher Tyler Skaggs during his season with the Angels and provided drugs to Skaggs.
Skaggs was found dead in a suburban Dallas hotel room on July 1, 2019, a day the Angels were supposed to open a four-game series against the Texas Rangers. Kay was convicted on one count each of drug distribution resulting in death and drug conspiracy. He faces at least 20 years and up to life in prison when he is sentenced on June 28.
Nicknamed the Dark Knight of Gotham, Harvey was selected seventh overall by the Mets in the 2010 amateur draft and made a heralded major league debut in 2012. He started the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field but a little more than a month later tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow and needed Tommy John surgery.
Harvey returned in 2015 and went 13-8, helping the Mets reach the World Series, where he talked manager Terry Collins into letting him take the mound with a two-run ninth-inning lead against Kansas City in Game 5. Harvey walked Lorenzo Cain and allowed an RBI double to Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez hit a tying groundout off Jeurys Familia and the Royals went on to a 12th-inning win that gave them the title.
Harvey was traded to Cincinnati in May 2018 and pitched for the Angels in 2019, Kansas City in 2020 and Baltimore last year, when he was 6-14 with a 6.27 ERA. He has a 50-66 career record with a 4.42 ERA in nine major league seasons. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/sports/baseball/professional/os-harvey-suspended-60-games-by-mlb-for-drug-distribution/article_e45fce1a-d62c-11ec-b990-6f45866decc8.html | 2022-05-17T22:53:01Z | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/sports/baseball/professional/os-harvey-suspended-60-games-by-mlb-for-drug-distribution/article_e45fce1a-d62c-11ec-b990-6f45866decc8.html | true | 30 |
Over 80% of teachers say they're spending more time on social-emotional learning (SEL) according to the State of Education May 2022 Report by TPT
NEW YORK, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), the platform used by 85% of U.S. teachers to access millions of teacher-created learning resources, released today its State of Education May 2022 Report. The report surveyed over 2,000 U.S. educators to understand their perspectives on the state of students' well-being and social-emotional health, the ways in which schools are handling these needs, the role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom, and the overall health of the teaching profession.
Key findings from the State of Education May 2022 Report include:
Students' mental health is top of mind for educators
- 90% of teachers said their concern for students' mental health and social-emotional needs has increased compared to prior to the pandemic.
- 63% of teachers reported that a student or their parent has asked for help with mental health or social-emotional concerns in the past two years.
Teachers are embracing SEL instructional practices in the classroom to support their students' mental health and well-being, though some do not feel equipped to do so on their own
- 81% of teachers said they're spending more time on SEL with their students this school year than in previous years.
- 94% of teachers said students do better in school when teachers integrate SEL into the classroom.
- 69% of teachers stated that many of the parents in their district support teaching SEL.
- Almost a third of teachers (27%) felt SEL should not be taught by teachers themselves, and more than half of them (64%) said that supporting students' social-emotional needs was too much for them to handle on their own.
- When schools do provide SEL-related professional development opportunities, 59% of teachers reported those opportunities did not adequately prepare them to deliver SEL instruction.
Educators increasingly struggle with burnout, more than two years into the pandemic
- Over half (52%) of teachers are considering a job-related change, which is up from 48% in November 2021.
- Only 16% of teachers surveyed said they would recommend the profession, which is down from 31% in January 2022.
Teacher well-being is tied to addressing burnout and their capacity to help students; they share several recommendations for support
- Offering more professional development
- Hiring counselors and social workers
- Prioritizing adult SEL
- Listening to teachers' feedback
- Providing support for student behavior
"It's clear from the survey data that teachers and administrators are working hard under difficult conditions to meet students' needs," said Michelle Cummings, Chief Academic Officer at Teachers Pay Teachers. "It's imperative that we listen to educators' concerns as well as their advice about what works in schools every day, so that students, educators, and the profession can thrive."
TPT's user community of more than 7 million educators gives the company unparalleled insight into teachers' firsthand perspectives. The State of Education Report is a research series by TPT that takes the pulse of educators and measures the health of the teaching profession. Each edition focuses on challenges educators are facing and shares the promising practices educators are implementing to address them.

Bay County jumping to Phase III of road repaving project. Is your street on the list?
PANAMA CITY — Local leaders are continuing on the pathway to restoring hurricane-destroyed roads throughout the county.
Bay County officials on Tuesday awarded a $4,317,086 contract to Gulf Coast Utility Contractors to resurface 4.5 miles of roads for Phase III of the Roadway Rehabilitation HM Reconstruction project. Construction will begin in the upcoming weeks, officials said.
Twenty roads have been identified as eligible for FEMA assistance for repairs.
Phases 1 and 2 awarded:Bay County to repave 132 miles of roads damaged in Michael's wake
Long-awaited road project complete:23rd Street Plaza intersection reopens 20 months after collapsing during Hurricane Sally
County officials awarded contracts for the first two phases of the project earlier this month, setting out to pave more than 132 miles of damaged roads for $40 million.
Commissioner Doug Moore said there will be six to eight additional phases of the resurfacing project.
"A lot of these are residential roads and some collector roads, but they are various," Moore said. "You can go to (baycountyfl.gov) and you can see, we have a map that shows each one of the roads that are going to be there. So, there's a lot of numbers, small-mile-wise, but a lot of different roads throughout the community."
In 2018, Hurricane Michael tore through the county and left immense damage and debris in its wake. For many months, hundreds of debris-hauling trucks took a heavy toll on roads.
During Tuesday's meeting, Commissioner Bill Dozier applauded County Chief Infrastructure Officer Keith Bryant and the public works department for driving the roads project.
"We've watched the way that you've taken the tax dollars and local tax dollars and stretched them as far as you can by working very closely with FEMA and rearranging certain things," Dozier said. "Just an outstanding job."
By repairing the dozens of roads, Moore said the project will improve the quality of life for both the county and the residents in those areas.
"Anything helps that we don't have to use the citizens' own funds to be able to do the repair work," Moore said. "So, this is a wonderful thing that FEMA is doing, helping us out with covering the cost of resurfacing these roads and improving the quality of life of the citizens that live on these roads."
List of roads for Phase III:
- Kelly Street
- Hitchcock Road
- Pecan Avenue
- Fulton Street
- Skywater Drive
- West Laneland Drive
- Quail Run
- West 25th Street
- West 23rd Street

Liverpool remain in the title race into the final game of the season after eventually seeing off Southampton thanks to a big squad effort.
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Premier League (37), St Mary’s
May 17, 2022
Goals: Redmond 13′; Minamino 27′, Matip 67′
Squad challenge
Jurgen Klopp made nine changes to his lineup from the FA Cup final, leaving the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk out of the squad altogether.
Klopp said before the game that this team might not have rhythm, but what he wanted was fresh legs to maintain the intensity of the press.
“When I did the lineup, I got excited about it,” the boss added. “We are here in a very positive mood. We have a team here to give Southampton maximum difficulties.”
The team showed in the first half they are all obviously very good players in tune with what the coaches want them to do, but there was a slight lack of rhythm initially, as Klopp had feared.
Curtis Jones and Roberto Firmino did their best to bring some tempo, and Takumi Minamino eventually netted an equaliser in the first half, before Joel Matip‘s unusual winner in the second.
The players who came in gave everything, and these supposed fresh legs were all tired by the end of the game such was the effort as they all rose to the challenge.
Marksman Minamino
The Japan international has been on the fringes of the squad this season, and not even in it for many Premier League games, but his first-half goal was still his tenth of the season in all competitions.
The 27-year-old was the club’s top scorer in the EFL Cup (4) and the FA Cup (3) as they won both trophies this season.

— The Tomkins Times (@thetomkinstimes) May 15, 2022
This was his third goal in the Premier League, which is even more impressive given it’s his first start in the league this season.
It was an emphatic finish at the near post and showed his worth to this squad. Many regulars would be more than happy to reach double figures in the goals column, and Minamino to do it in the role he plays has been a credit to his application and talent.
Right to rotate
The number of knocks picked up in this game showed Klopp was right to rotate his team.
An injury just before halftime forced Joe Gomez off, which then meant Jordan Henderson had to come on after his 120 minute FA Cup final shift at the weekend.
James Milner moved to right-back and also picked up a nasty looking twist to his ankle in the second half, but was able to carry on — just about.
And they weren’t the only players tiring during the second half.
Slippery conditions coupled with some combative play made it a game in which injuries could potentially be picked up.
In the end, Klopp was able to be wary and cautious with his selection, and also win — an ideal scenario.
Two wrong referees don’t right a wrong
It was a difficult opening period for the quadruple challengers after Southampton took the lead in the 13th minute.
But replays showed a foul on Diogo Jota earlier in the move. The Portuguese was unfairly robbed of possession which left Klopp rightly fuming after Nathan Redmond’s deflected shot found the back of the net seconds later.
This wasn apparently not spotted by the referee, and the VAR decided the clear and obvious foul wasn’t wasn’t clear and obvious enough.
PLMC (Cont.): The (VAR) protocol is quite specific, the threshold is clear and obvious, VAR is not there to re-referee all minute situations. #SOULIV

Each team, no matter which end of the table they are fighting at, will often feel decisions go against them, and there have been a notable number of errors in recent weeks.
Many will argue the decisions that go against them are to blame for dropped points, but Liverpool were able to put this behind them and win the game. They didn’t feel sorry for themselves and still got the job done.
Domination send title race to last day
Liverpool have dominated the game of football in recent weeks.
Despite the narrow-looking scoreline, they also dominated this game in isolation despite a fairly nervy last few minutes.
Southampton created nothing of note, just four shots and an xG of just 0.12 (per Sky), with all their shots coming from outside the area.
Looking at the bigger picture, the Reds have won 14 of their last 17 games in all competitions, drawing the other three, and haven’t lost a game in the league this year, only dropping points against Chelsea, Man City, and Spurs.
It’s an unbelievable run, especially when you factor in the cup wins, but such near-perfection has been needed to keep the title race alive.
According to Sky’s EPL-only marketing, this is the ninth time since the Premier League rebrand that a title race has gone to the final day. It’s taken some effort from Liverpool for it to do so. | https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/05/reds-squad-rises-to-challenge-5-talking-points-from-southampton-1-2-liverpool/ | 2022-05-17T22:57:03Z | https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/05/reds-squad-rises-to-challenge-5-talking-points-from-southampton-1-2-liverpool/ | false | 1 |

Man of God, now in previews at Geffen Playhouse, is set to open on May 20th!
Get a first look at photos below!
During a mission trip to Bangkok, the four members of a Korean Christian girls' youth group discover that their revered pastor has hidden a camera in their hotel bathroom.

Jen is worried about how this might affect her college applications. And Mimi's out for blood, as usual.

Man of God is a funny feminist thriller about that moment when girls realize the male gaze has been watching all along-and decide they're definitely gonna do something about it.
The cast features Shirley Chen as Samantha, Emma Galbraith as Jen, Erin Rae Li as Mimi, Albert Park as Pastor, and Ji-young Yoo as Kyung-Hwa.

GREENBELT, Md., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA has selected two firms for the the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Atmospheric Composition (ACX) Phase A Study. These firms will provide services to help meet the objectives of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GeoXO program.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado, and Raytheon Intelligence & Space of El Segundo, California will both receive twenty-month firm-fixed-price contracts for approximately $5 million. The work will be performed at the contractors' facilities.
The principal purpose of this effort is to provide a definition-phase study of a GeoXO ACX instrument. The ACX instrument will be a hyperspectral, ultraviolet through visible imaging spectrometer that is planned to fly on the NOAA GeoXO series of geostationary satellites. The selected firms will develop the instrument concept and mature necessary technologies. The study will help define the instrument's potential performance, risks, costs, and development schedule. The results of the study will be used to set performance requirements for the ACX instrument implementation contract, which is planned for award in 2024.
Atmospheric composition measurements from geostationary orbit will provide critical data for the air quality forecasting and public health communities. The instrument will monitor air pollutants emitted by transportation, power generation, volcanoes, and wildfires on an hourly basis, as well as pollutants generated from these emissions once they are in the atmosphere. This operational geostationary instrument will represent an important advancement over the once-per-day observations provided by current polar-orbiting instruments. These measurements will improve air quality forecasting and will help to mitigate health hazards resulting from air pollution, such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders.
NOAA's GeoXO satellite system is the groundbreaking mission that will advance Earth observations from geostationary orbit. The mission will supply vital information to address major environmental challenges of the future in support of weather, ocean, and climate operations in the United States. The GeoXO mission will continue and expand observations provided by the GOES-R series of satellites. GeoXO will bring new capabilities to address emerging environmental issues and challenges that threaten the security and well-being of every American. NOAA is working to ensure these critical observations are in place by the early 2030s,when the GOES-R Series nears the end of its operational lifetime.
The GeoXO mission is a collaborative partnership between NOAA and NASA. NOAA funds, operates, and manages the mission and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the acquisition of the Phase A formulation contracts.

About 60% of voters in Lee, Massachusetts, have approved a nonbinding ballot question to rescind an agreement to build a PCB disposal site in town. They also voted to return to a one person - one vote town meeting government — a shift away from representational government.
Residents also chose a new selectman, Gordon Bailey. He takes Pat Carlino's seat, who stepped down after serving on the board for 24 years.
Bailey was a selectman a decade ago, from 2000 until 2012. He said he wants the board and residents to meet with attorneys to discuss the option of walking away from the agreement.
“Let the entire town know what the potential is for good or bad, should we rescind. And are there other paths we could take legally that would get us where we want to be — which is no dump in Lee," he said.
Bailey's election means there is no one on the select board now who has voted for the toxic waste disposal site.
A previous select board approved the agreement to build it in February 2020. The agreement was reached in a closed door mediation with the Environmental Protection Agency and General Electric to clean up the Housatonic River. GE's electrical transformer factory in Pittsfield contaminated the river with PCBs from the 1930s until the 1970s.
Selectman Bob Jones said he wants to find out if the agreement is "even legal."
"Basically what you had in Lee were three select board members making a decision for over 5,000 people to put a toxic waste dump in an ecologically sensitive site," Jones said.
On the select board's agenda this week is whether Carlino, who represented the town of Lee during the negotiations which led to the agreement, should continue to serve on the Housatonic Rest of River Municipal Committee. The committee, which represents Pittsfield and five towns along the river, is focused on the cleanup of the river from Pittsfield downstream to Great Barrington. | https://www.vpr.org/2022-05-17/lee-voters-approve-nonbinding-question-to-rescind-agreement-allowing-pcb-dump-in-town | 2022-05-17T22:59:11Z | https://www.vpr.org/2022-05-17/lee-voters-approve-nonbinding-question-to-rescind-agreement-allowing-pcb-dump-in-town | false | 6 |

We have strong corporate and operational management teams with whom I have forged a productive working relationship over many years. RPC's enduring traditions of conservative, shareholder-friendly capital management policies will continue. As Rick stated, we appear to be in the beginning stages of a favorable energy cycle, but as always in an industry as volatile as ours, we need to continue our conservative approach and a long-term orientation. We are also pleased to welcome Mike Schmit to our senior leadership team. Mike has a great deal of successful finance and accounting experience in public companies, including an international stint, business combination integration and financial management experience with a company exposed to the midstream energy sector, so we look forward to him joining RPC."

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the infamous V8 engine powering the latest-generation Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. And this one is for sale, in case you haven’t figured it out yet.
According to the eBay vendor, a company based in Lyons, Georgia, specialized in selling all kinds of car parts, this engine used to power a 2020-2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, with almost 23,800 miles (38,300 km) on the clock. It is offered complete with the Tremec dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission, and as you probably guessed, it is anything but cheap.
The listing reveals a buy-it-now price of $41,499.99 and assuming that it is indeed in good overall condition, as the vendor claims, then it might be worth it to the right person. The powertrain has a few upgrades over stock detailed in the ad and is also offered with a variety of peripherals. Moreover, the antitheft system is not a problem anymore, as it is said to have been turned off. Thus, all you have to do is stuff it under the hood of your car, connect everything, put liquids in, and floor the gas.
Without anyone tampering with it, the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 pumps out 760 hp at 7,000 rpm and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque at 5,000 rpm at the crank, making the modern-day Mustang Shelby GT500 the most powerful street-legal vehicle ever made by Ford. It is punchier than the mighty GT supercar and can deal with the 0 to 60 mph (0-97 kph) sprint in just 3 seconds.
If this particular engine seems a bit too much, then you could search the web for another one. We found a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 that used to power a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat listed for grabs, and it was much cheaper than this one. Sure, it didn’t come with a gearbox attached to it, but still. You can check it out, and find out how much it costs, here.

Truck driver, master logger, farmer, husband, father, son, brother, Robert Johnson Jr’s love of life did not come to an end with his death. Robert passed away on May 07, 2022 at the age of 57 leaving a host of loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy by sharing his never ending work ethic and living life to the fullest.
Robert’s pride was in his family, friendships, work partners, his daughter Sheyenne graduating college, finding the best price on a load of logs and his favorite companions his horse Trouble and favorite dogs Sophie and Rooster. We are pretty sure he also holds the record on junk trucks and farm equipment on one piece of property.
The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Robert. He loved a rowdy evening with friends in the barn stove room, or tall tales, campfire songs and good eating with his weekend trail riding buddies, riding his dog Sophie on his shoulders, and playing frisbee with Rooster. Robert was famous for stopping his truck in the middle of the road to let his favorite dogs run a squirrel or corral a loose cow. When the flood came last year, he put a life jacket on himself and his favorite cow dog Rooster, jumped in a john boat with his buddy Jason and rescued 40 cows from the flood water. That’s just one example of Robert and Rooster being the neighborhood heroes. But that was Robert he was always ready and willing to stop what he was doing and help anyone that needed him. On vacation in the Grand Tetons and down snake river in Wyoming he even saved his best friend James and family from a Sasquatch that was following them down the trail. It was a regular occurrence for Robert and his dad to go door to door down the road giving the neighbors a little something to eat, whether they wanted it or not. Robert had an uncanny ability to find happiness in his daily activities like feeding the cows that all have names. His outgoing personality was evident to everyone he met. He loved a good laugh, never met a stranger and his big smile was contagious to everyone he talked too.Robert is survived by his wife, Sonya; and daughter, Sheyenne Grace;
Son Ronald Sandlin and wife Jen; three grandchildren (Kaylee, Kimber, and Koleman), Father, Robert Sr and Mother, Lois Cornett Johnson; two Brothers, Charlie and Harold; two Sisters, Patricia and Husband Jess Bishop and Ashley and Husband Mark Collins; Two Sister in Laws Yvonne and Husband Bennie Jett and Freda and Husband A G Bishop; Mother in Law, Betty Spencer; and a host of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, and Nephews and In-laws. Robert was preceded in death by his Brother, Donnie Ray and Father in Law, Henry Potter Spencer.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte was placed on the bereavement list following the death of his grandmother, which came nearly two years to the day after his wife died of a heart attack.
Mets manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday that Marte’s grandmother, Ponga Brigida, died unexpectedly. Marte was raised by his grandmother in the Dominican Republic after his mother died when he was 9.
Wednesday will mark two years since Marte’s wife, Noelia, died of a heart attack.
“It was heart-wrenching talking to him yesterday,” Showalter said. “I don’t think most people realize, he’s had a tough go.
“He’s home for as long as he needs to be there,” he added.
Marte can stay on the bereavement list for three to seven days after being added Monday. Showalter said the team would figure out a way to let him grieve longer if needed.
The 33-year-old Marte signed a $78 million, four-year deal with the Mets as a free agent last offseason. He is hitting .266 with three homers, five stolen bases and a .714 OPS in his first season in Queens.
New York also announced that ace Jacob deGrom had follow-up imaging Monday that showed progressive healing in the stress reaction in his right scapula. The team said he will continue to ramp up his throwing.
DeGrom has not pitched this season and has been expected to be sidelined at least until June. The Mets shifted the two-time Cy Young Award winner to the 60-day injured list last week. He went on the IL opening day, April 7, after injuring his right shoulder blade late in an abbreviated spring training.
“He’s going to move back further and throw harder, and those are good things,” general manager Billy Eppler said.
Right-hander Steve Nogosek was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and righty Adonis Medina added as the 27th player for a doubleheader Tuesday against St. Louis.
New York also said right-hander Trevor Williams would start the opener of Tuesday’s doubleheader and righty Taijuan Walker would pitch Game 2.

Watch: Jurgen Klopp Post-Match Press Conference | Southampton 1-2 Liverpool | Premier League
Liverpool picked up the three points they needed on the south coast on Tuesday evening as they beat Southampton 2-1 thanks to goals from Takumi Minamino and Joel Matip, and you can watch Jurgen Klopp's post match press conference here.
The Reds are now a point behind leaders Manchester City as they move into the last weekend of the season.
Klopp made nine changes to the lineup that started the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday and saw the Reds fall behind in the 13th minute when Nathan Redmond's well-hit shot deflected in off of James Milner.
Klopp was clearly angered by the failure of referee Martin Atkinson to award a foul in the build-up when Diogo Jota was felled by Brazilian Lyanco but VAR did not intervene even though it looked like an error from the official.
Liverpool responded well and were level 14 minutes later when Jota played in Takumi Minamino who took a touch before finishing brilliantly.

The winner came in the 67th minute after persistent Liverpool pressure when Joel Matip looped a header from a corner over Alex McCarthy.
Liverpool now host Wolves at Anfield on Sunday whilst Manchester City will face Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa at the Etihad with the title on the line.

The Herald
With the rapid rise in South Africa of new Covid-19 infections over the last four to five weeks, with the average number of new cases now over 7 000 a day and a fifth wave now declared, Zimbabweans need to become more serious in their precautions.
Our health authorities have moved into high alert, since we now know to our cost that South Africa tends to lead the region in waves of infection.
The mutation of two new sub-variants of the old enemy, the Omicron variant that caused the fourth wave, BA.4 and BA.5 are now driving the South African fifth wave.
But as the national Covid-19 response co-ordinator, Dr Agnes Mahomva stresses, Zimbabwe does not just have to sit back and take it. While we are getting some breakers from the South African wave already, and will probably get more, the level of any fifth wave in Zimbabwe will largely depend on what we as individuals do.
Dr Mahomva repeats the continual expert advice which everyone from President Mnangagwa keeps emphasising and Government leaders follow themselves.
We need to all be vaccinated and we need to all follow the standard rules of masking in public and maintaining social distancing, while following decent hygiene. It is that simple and easy.
Vaccination is far from foolproof, but it definitely reduces significantly the risk of infection and if we are unfortunate to get infected when fully vaccinated it almost always means the symptoms are a lot less severe and dangerous.
All that a Zimbabwean has to do to be vaccinated for free is to go to the nearest public health centre, a clinic or hospital. Those who prefer the private practitioners can be vaccinated with a free vaccine for a small administrative charge. It is that simple and easy.
The benefits of vaccination are so great that Dr Mahomva made a special appeal for the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions to get their jabs since these groups are the ones most likely to become very ill or even die if infected.
Reducing infection risks and having more mild symptoms if caught are very important for those groups. Families need to make arrangements if necessary.
The Government has done its part, ensuring that all public health facilities have vaccines and are ready for those coming, and has sent teams out.
The biggest block of teams were in the two-pronged blitz at all schools once those aged 12 and over were cleared for the vaccine Zimbabwe uses. Most in this age group had their first jab in the few weeks before the school holidays and now are getting their second jab as they are back in class.
But fairly obviously, the Ministry of Health and Child Care has also decided to do something drastic in Chitungwiza, which was the worst large centre on the list.
In the past few days that town now has rocketed to 50,6 percent of its 12s and over with their first jab, and has pushed Harare on 46,8 percent to the bottom of the heap.
Chitungwiza is still below the national average of 54,6 percent, but the improvement has been breathtaking, signifying that someone in the Ministry finally found the magic formula since the improvement cannot just be the schoolchildren.
Whatever the formula was it now needs to be repeated in Harare.
But vaccination is not enough, especially in places like Harare that are below the national average and where doubts among the unvaccinated still appear to linger, since Harare residents have the greatest access in the country to both public and private vaccination centres.
This is why we need to all take seriously the other wing of the prevention measures, wear our masks in public, social distance and wash or sanitise.
And masks need to be worn on the face, not warming the neck or leaving the nose exposed as so many do. Masking is especially important when avoiding strangers is impossible, like in a bus. And we need to remember that now that winter has arrived more windows are closed, so the need for maximum protection is even more critical.
Dr Mahomva and her fellow Zimbabwean experts may well have to press for more enforcement of the masking and distancing rules as winter bites and the South African pool of infection grows. But hopefully Zimbabweans are smart and will follow the advice.
There has been a modest increase in infection rates over the past couple of weeks and by Monday the average had reached 128 a day, still low but almost four times what we were seeing a month ago.
As Dr Mahomva noted, some of this reported rise is because schools are back and schools take checking very seriously. Children come from families in the big wide world and if their family has an infected person, even if the symptoms are so mild that the person does not go to a clinic, the child is at risk.
Meanwhile, the second jab blitz is going well with 39 percent of the 12s and over now fully vaccinated and that figure rising by tens of thousands every day as the more than one million who had their first jab in the April blitz are lined up for the repeat.
The combination of basic precautions and vaccination has been working, especially as no politician is trying to make capital out of the double programme, and most religious leaders, especially those heading the largest church organisations, have encouraged their followers to get their jabs.
The problems that can arise are seen in America where more than one million have now died.
Zimbabwe has 5 484 deaths and if America has followed the lead of a fairly poor and remote third world country its death toll would have been around 120 000, instead of eight times worse. Sometimes the third world gets it right.
The American problem is highlighted by the fact that strongly Republican counties have death tolls almost three times as high as strongly Democrat counties, so politicised has vaccination masking become in that unfortunate land.
But some of the political and religious false information in other countries does appear on social media in Zimbabwe, and we also have our own kooks, along with a strong religious community that rejects all medical attention.
Since one major centre of the largest of these religious groups is in Chitungwiza the recent dramatic success in that town needs to be followed up in other areas.
Basically, Zimbabwe has coped with Covid-19 remarkably well, thanks to a Government willing to take professional medical advice and a population ready to follow that advice, or at least a majority of the population.
What we basically need to do to avoid a full-blown fifth wave is to be just more diligent in doing what most of us have been doing and continue taking Covid-19 and expert advice very seriously. | https://www.herald.co.zw/editorial-comment-lets-tighten-up-to-avert-fifth-wave/ | 2022-05-17T23:36:52Z | https://www.herald.co.zw/editorial-comment-lets-tighten-up-to-avert-fifth-wave/ | false | 2 |
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — A man has been charged with kidnapping and evading arrest after officers say the victim begged for help from a KFC employee.
Officers responded on Saturday to a kidnapping call at KFC in Memphis, where a worker at the restaurant told them a woman had left a note begging for help. The employee gave a description of the woman and the man she was with.
Police soon found the victim and a man who matched the worker’s description. Court documents said the man, 23-year-old Diego Glay, refused to obey officers’ commands and took off running.
Glay was soon caught and taken into custody.
The victim told police that Glay was her boyfriend and that he had been holding her against her will. She said Glay has previously punched her in the face.
Investigators learned that the woman had come to visit Glay from Baltimore. Glay was looking through her phone and got upset upon finding a video of her with an ex-boyfriend. Afterward, the woman bought a train ticket back to Baltimore, but Glay allegedly found out and wouldn’t let her go, holding her “physically against her will with physical assaults, threats, and being armed with a handgun,” Memphis police said.
Officers said Glay also took the victim’s phone and kept her from leaving his sight for days at a time. He and the woman went from hotel to hotel, according to police.
Glay is currently being held at a Memphis jail facility on $35,000 bond, according to Shelby County records. He is expected to appear in court Tuesday. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/kidnapping-victim-passes-note-to-kfc-worker-begging-for-help/ | 2022-05-17T23:38:32Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/kidnapping-victim-passes-note-to-kfc-worker-begging-for-help/ | true | 36 |
Williams will start Tuesday's Game 1 against the Heat, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
With Al Horford (COVID-19) landing in the league's health and safety protocols just hours before tipoff, Williams will rejoin the starting unit for the first time since Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The center will not have a minutes restriction going forward and should see a full workload Tuesday against the Heat.

The RINO’s are going to RINO, and Sean Hannity appears to be one of them. Hannity took to his nationally televised program to attack Conservative Republican Candidate for United States Senate Kathy Barnette on his show on the eve of Tuesday’s primary.
Kathy Barnette has a very compelling story, she’s a 10+ year military veteran. She was born to her mother when her mother was raped and only 12-years-old. She’s the epitome of the American dream, and she’s done nothing wrong, but yet those in the conservative elite circles continue to attack her. The person they support is a lifelong Democrat in Dr. Oz.
President Trump has been on the attack against Barnette in support of his friend, the wealthy Dr. Oz. Hannity has now joined Trump in attacking Barnette, when in reality we’re all on the same side.
The majority of conservatives on social media do not trust, nor do they want Dr. Oz, but yet once again here we are being pushed by the party telling the people what to do, not the other way around.
You can see Hannity’s hit piece on Barnette from last night below.

The world’s largest carmakers are lagging behind on the switch to electric vehicles with only two on the trajectory required to hit the international target of limiting global heating to 1.5C, according to an analysis.
Tesla and Mercedes-Benz are the only firms out of 12 big manufacturers who are on course to shift to zero-emissions vehicles at a rate in line with climate goals, according to the campaign group InfluenceMap.
Carmakers around the world are racing to introduce new cars with zero exhaust emissions of carbon, and almost every big brand plans to move to battery electric technology. However, at the same time manufacturers are trying to keep selling their highly profitable diesel and petrol cars.
The carmakers that plan the slowest adoption of zero-emissions technology are the three biggest Japanese producers – Toyota, Honda and Nissan – while other laggards included South Korea’s Hyundai and General Motors in the US. The analysis, based on forecasts to 2029 produced by the data company IHS Markit, included 12 of the world’s largest carmakers, although it did not include the largest Chinese manufacturers.
The shift to zero-emissions vehicles is seen as crucial for the world’s transition away from polluting fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency, a watchdog respected by industry and campaigners, has calculated that 57.5% of global car sales must be zero-emission vehicles by 2030 (equivalent to 52% by 2029) if global heating is to be limited to only 1.5C.
Should the world go beyond that target, agreed at the 2015 Paris climate conference, the scientific consensus is that increasing proportions of the globe will become unliveable.
Tesla, the electric carmaker led by Elon Musk, produces 100% zero-emission vehicles, while Germany’s Mercedes-Benz is on track to produce 56% battery cars by 2029.
By contrast, Toyota and Honda are on track to produce only 14% and 18% zero-emissions cars by 2029, according to IHS Markit, as they bet on extended fossil fuel sales.
Ben Youriev, a programme manager at InfluenceMap, said: “A rapid scale-up of battery electric vehicles is critical to meeting global climate change goals. Almost all automakers are failing to keep pace with the transition to zero emissions.”
There is still a chance that some of the carmakers could decide to accelerate their transitions to electric vehicles. Regulatory changes in several markets, including the UK and EU, and the rapidly falling cost of producing zero-emissions vehicles will give manufacturers a greater incentive to shift away from petrol and diesel.
The US carmaker Ford, which last year said it would go all-electric in Europe by 2030, on Tuesday called for petrol and diesel car sales to be banned in the EU by 2035, in a joint letter with Sweden’s Volvo and other leading companies including Tesco, Uber and Unilever.
A VW spokesperson said the company agrees “100% that the rapid shift to e-mobility is essential to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees”, and said it plans an overall share of battery electric vehicles of “around 50%” by 2030. BMW said it plans at least half of all sales being all-electric by 2030. Stellantis said 100% of its car and van sales in Europe and 50% of its car and light truck sales in the US will be battery-powered by 2030.
A Nissan spokesman said the company had committed to aligning with a 1.5C scenario and that its science-based targets for below 2C alignment had been validated independently. A Honda spokesman said it “will continue to accelerate towards both electrification and carbon neutrality goals”.
The other carmakers below the 1.5C threshold were also approached for comment. | https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/may/18/big-carmakers-stuck-in-slow-lane-over-switch-to-zero-emissions-study-shows | 2022-05-17T23:46:24Z | https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/may/18/big-carmakers-stuck-in-slow-lane-over-switch-to-zero-emissions-study-shows | false | 1 |
Top Justice Department officials heading up the criminal investigation into the breach of the U.S. Capitol have asked the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack for transcripts of interviews conducted in the congressional probe, NBC News has confirmed.
Justice Department Criminal Division chief Kenneth Polite and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves sent a letter requesting transcripts of interviews to the lead investigator for the House panel, former U.S. Attorney Timothy Heaphy.
The New York Times first reported on the existence of the letter, which was sent nearly a month ago on April 20. A source familiar with the letter confirmed its contents to NBC News.

LONDON, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In its latest Insights Briefing, "Building Energy Security Through Accelerated Energy Transition", the ETC explores how Europe and other regions can both build energy security and accelerate the required energy transition.
The brief assesses Europe's short term plans to cut reliance on Russian oil and gas, and estimates that gas imports could be reduced by at least 50% within a year, with further reductions dependent primarily on changes in consumer and business behaviour to reduce energy consumption.
But the key focus of the brief is on the medium term actions (2-8 years) which could improve energy security, stability of supply and limit the impact of future fossil fuel price shocks by 2030. The core of the response should be accelerated investment in renewable energy and economy wide electrification, together with improved energy efficiency. LNG imports from secure suppliers will also need to play a role, but must be combined with measures to reduce CO2 and methane leak emissions in gas production.
The brief has been developed in collaboration with ETC members from across industry, financial institutions and environmental advocates including Bank of America, BP, EBRD, HSBC, Iberdrola, Impax, Legal and General, Ørsted, Rio Tinto, Schneider Electric, Shell, Tata Group, Volvo Group and the World Resources Institute among others .
Adair Turner, Chair, ETC commented:
"It is vital to address the energy security and economic impacts of Europe's current situation in a way which does not delay and ideally accelerates the energy transition. To achieve this, we must recognise the different pace at which different types of response can deliver results; we must seize the opportunities for clear win- wins on energy security and transition: and we must face the need to make some trade-offs, particularly in the short-term. Over the medium-term however, it is clear that Europe and other regions across the world can enhance energy security while simultaneously accelerating the energy transition."
Clear Win-Wins
Clearly desirable actions include:
- Massive acceleration of renewable energy (with a strong focus on building storage and flexibility), through revising volume commitments in 2030 and actively bringing forward new capacity. Including renewable electricity for green hydrogen production.
- Energy efficiency and productivity including insulation, heat pump electrification and industrial energy efficiency
- Other sources of electricity, including keeping existing nuclear going and utilising existing sustainable biomass sources where possible
Difficult tradeoffs
Alongside actions which reduce European reliance on gas, new sources of supply will also need to play a role, with potential for:
- Increased LNG imports
- Increased / maintained output from existing gas fields
But the risks that too much investment in these alternatives will lead to carbon lock-in must be recognised and managed, and new investments and contracts must be designed to minimise production related CO2 and methane emissions.
Clearly undesirable actions
Actions which could seriously delay or imperil the energy transition are unnecessary and undesirable. These include any dilution of 2030 emission reduction targets or of commitments to phase out coal generation, or any large scale new oil and gas developments.
Making Renewable Energy Deployment Possible
To deliver accelerated renewable electricity deployment between now and 2030, the EU and national governments should focus on 4 key actions:
- Increasing targets for RE deployment to create market certainty about the pace of growth
- Setting clear programmes for RE auctions, supported by developments in power market design which can reduce consumer exposure to volatile gas prices
- Developing clear strategies to rapidly grow transmission and distribution networks, supported by policies to streamline and accelerate planning and permitting procedures .
- Accelerating the growth of demand for clean electricity, for instance via accelerated electrification of road transport.
Alongside the overall information brief, the ETC is also publishing 9 'ETC Explainer' briefs which provide further context on the situation on possible responses. ( see link below).
Ita Kettleborough, Director, ETC said:
"A profound transformation of the global energy system is ahead of us. In the medium term, a net-zero emissions economy with clean electrification at its core can offer countries greater energy security than today's fossil-based system. Whilst there are some tricky trade-offs in the very short term, the right choices now can both improve energy security and accelerate the energy transition by 2030. Governments, businesses and investors need clear strategies to achieve this goal – focused on deploying more renewable energy, mass electrification and improving energy efficiency."
"Building Energy Security Through Accelerated Energy Transition," constitutes a collective view of the Energy Transitions Commission. Members of the ETC endorse the general thrust of the arguments made in this report but should not be taken as agreeing with every finding or recommendation. The institutions with which the Commissioners are affiliated have not been asked to formally endorse the report.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden and Finland on Tuesday pushed ahead with their bids to join NATO even as Turkey insisted it won’t let the previously nonaligned Nordic countries into the alliance because of their alleged support for Kurdish militants.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s strongly worded objections caught the two applicants and other NATO members off guard, complicating what was envisioned to be a swift expansion of the alliance in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Turkey’s statements have changed very quickly and hardened in recent days. But I am sure that we will resolve the situation with constructive talks,” Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said during a visit to Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
Niinisto said he spoke to Erdogan in early April “and it was crystal clear that he was supportive, and he said that the Finnish membership should be assessed favorably. Now it seems that there are different opinions. We must continue to discuss.”
The Finnish parliament on Tuesday resoundingly rubber-stamped the government’s decision to seek membership in a 188-8 vote. The foreign ministers of both countries signed formal application letters to be handed over jointly on Wednesday at the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels.
But Erdogan’s objections on Friday and again on Monday raised questions about how quickly the application process could advance, as unanimity among all 30 NATO countries is required for new members to join. The Turkish leader accused the Nordic countries of giving safe haven to “terrorists” and imposing sanctions on Turkey — an apparent reference to the suspension of Swedish and Finnish weapons exports in 2019 after Ankara sent troops into northern Syria to attack Kurdish fighters.
Erdogan also dismissed a Swedish plan to send a team of diplomats to Turkey to discuss the issue, saying “don’t wear yourselves out.”
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said Sweden is still seeking contact with Turkey to “sort out the question marks.”
“We are looking forward to having a bilateral dialogue with Turkey but also having bilateral dialogues with other NATO countries during this process,” she said.
Turkey’s objections appeared to have come as a surprise also in Washington, whose relations with Ankara have been strained in recent years. The U.S. suspended Turkey from its F-35 fighter jet program over Turkey’s decision to purchase a Russian missile defense system.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was traveling to New York for meetings Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Meanwhile, the White House announced that President Joe Biden would meet Niinisto and Andersson in Washington on Thursday to discuss their NATO applications and support for Ukraine among other issues.
Joining NATO would be a huge shift for the two Nordic countries. Sweden has stayed out of military alliances for more than 200 years, while Finland adopted neutrality after being defeated by the Soviet Union in World War II.
Russia has repeatedly warned its Nordic neighbors that their joining the alliance would have negative repercussions. The Swedish prime minister warned citizens to brace themselves for potential disruptive moves by Russia, including disinformation and attempts to intimidate and divide the country.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday it was expelling two Finnish diplomats and would leave a multinational organization focused on the Baltic Sea. It also said the Finnish ambassador was read a protest against “Finland’s confrontational course in relation to Russia,” including its role in international sanctions against Russia and arms supplies to Ukraine. The statement made no mention of NATO.
European officials expressed hope that Turkey’s objections to Finnish and Swedish membership in NATO could be overcome.
The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the two countries would receive strong support “from all member states, because it increases our unity, and it makes us stronger.”
Luxembourg’s long-serving Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn told Germany’s Deutschlandfunk radio that he suspects Erdogan is merely “pushing up the price” for the two countries’ membership.
“At the end of the day, I am convinced that Turkey can’t slam the brakes on this,” he said.
Turkey accuses several European countries of supporting the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, leftist extremists and followers of the U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen who Ankara claims was behind a failed military coup attempt in 2016.
Turkey’s justice minister Bekir Bozdag on Tuesday said Sweden and Finland “have not returned a single” suspect that Turkey wants extradited for alleged links to PKK or the Gulen movement.
“Those who prefer terrorist organizations over Turkey should see that their own choices have made them lose,” Bozdag said.
Many Kurdish and other exiles have found refuge in Sweden over the past decades, as have members of Gulen’s movement more recently. According to Turkey’s state-run media, Sweden and Finland have refused to extradite 33 people wanted by Turkey.
Sweden denies supporting PKK, which is terror-listed by the EU, but has had contacts with Kurdish fighters in Syria who played a key role in the fight against Islamic State group militants.
Turkey makes no distinction between the Kurdish groups.
Amineh Kakabaveh, a former Kurdish peshmerga fighter from Iran who fled to Sweden and now serves in the country’s Parliament, implored the government to not cave to Erdogan’s demands.
“Everyone who is for Kurdish rights is a terrorist to him,” she said. “It is unacceptable that he gets involved in Swedish politics.”

Mariupol defenders face trial for ‘war crimes’
The last defenders of Mariupol were taken to a Russian prison colony yesterday where they faced trial as “Nazi war criminals”.
More than 260 fighters, some of them seriously wounded and carried on stretchers, ended weeks of resistance in the bunkers and tunnels below the Azovstal plant when the most devastating siege of Russia’s war drew to a close.
Seven buses carrying the fighters arrived last night at a former penal colony in the Russian-controlled town of Olenivka near Donetsk, Reuters said.
The Tass news agency said the Investigative Committee of Russia, equivalent to the FBI, planned to question the soldiers, many of them members of the Azov Battalion, as part of an investigation into what Moscow calls “Ukrainian regime crimes”.

Hoyer Statement on House Passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2022
“Today, I was proud to support legislation to reauthorize the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which is one of the central pillars of our nation’s commitment to ensuring that workers and their families can make it in America. I want to thank Chairman Bobby Scott and Chairwoman Frederica Wilson for their leadership and hard work on this bill, which reflects many of the ideas espoused by the Make It In America plan for jobs and opportunity that I’ve been leading since 2010 and to which many House Democrats have been contributing over the years. “When we last enacted WIOA in 2014, we did so on a bipartisan basis, with Ranking Member Foxx leading that effort on the Republican side. It is disappointing that, this time around, Republicans are unwilling to work with Democrats to strengthen and build on that success. Together, we recognized in 2014 that our country needed to do better than the system we had under the Workforce Investment Act and the myriad programs that preceded it. We understood that, in a fast-changing global economy, American workers had to have access to the tools and training necessary to adapt, add skills to their resumés, and compete for the best jobs that bring opportunity and economic advancement. The original WIOA accomplished that to a great extent, but it expired in 2020. We must now reauthorize it and strengthen the WIOA programs so even more Americans can access these resources and opportunities as they seek to get ahead. “The funding this bill authorizes would be a down payment on America’s continued job growth, which has been unprecedented since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration, with the creation of more than 8.3 million new jobs – and the launch of more than 5.4 million new small businesses. It is broadly recognized that closing the skills gap and expanding our trained and skilled workforce will help us fight inflation by strengthening our base of workers to make the most in-demand products right here in America and reduce our reliance on imports. If the Senate shares our seriousness about bringing costs down for Americans while helping our workers and their families get ahead, it will join the House in reauthorizing WIOA without delay.” | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/572868891/hoyer-statement-on-house-passage-of-the-workforce-innovation-and-opportunity-act-of-2022 | 2022-05-18T00:00:07Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/572868891/hoyer-statement-on-house-passage-of-the-workforce-innovation-and-opportunity-act-of-2022 | true | 1 |
House 1/6 panel rejects Justice Department’s transcript request
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is rejecting a request from the Justice Department for access to the committee’s interviews, for now.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the committee’s chairman, said Tuesday that the Justice Department had made the request as part of its ongoing criminal investigation into the attack. But he said it was “premature” for the committee to share its work at this point because the panel’s probe is ongoing.
The Justice Department’s request comes as prosecutors have been issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews with people who had been involved in planning events leading up to the attack on the Capitol last year. The request to the House panel — which has conducted more than 1,000 interviews so far — exemplifies the breadth of the Justice investigation into one of the largest attacks on democracy in American history.
The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland have faced mounting pressure to prosecute former President Donald Trump since the Jan. 6 House committee laid out an argument for what its members believe could be a viable criminal case against the former president.
The Justice investigation — the largest criminal investigation in U.S. history — has largely focused on prosecuting those who stormed the Capitol, pushing past and beating overwhelmed police officers until they were bloodied and bruised, in an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential win. In the 16 months since the insurrection, more than 800 people have been arrested and around 280 of them have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges.
Garland has given no public indication about whether prosecutors might be considering a case against Trump. He has vowed, though, to hold accountable “all January 6th perpetrators, at any level” and said that would include those who were “present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy.”
Thompson said the panel had shared some information with federal, state and local agencies but they could only review it in a specified location — a common government practice with sensitive documents known as an in-camera review. It’s unclear which specific interviews or documents the Justice Department had sought.
“They made a request, and we told them that as a committee, the product was ours, and we’re not giving anyone access to the work product,” Thompson told reporters Tuesday.
“We can’t share it, the document, with them,” Thompson said. “Big difference ... we can’t give them unilateral access.”
The Senate intelligence committee had rejected a similar request as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

In addition to the usual Electorate profiles, during the State election in 2020, The Westender asked experienced politicians, or ‘elders’, from the three major parties to provide their assessment of the critical issues.
We have again asked party ‘seniors'[i] to speak with us about Griffith in the Federal election on 21 May 2022. These retired politicians and activists can be less constrained by party HQ and freer in their comments.
Here we talk with Tim Quinn. Tim Quinn is a former teacher, Councillor for The Gabba Ward and Lord Mayor of Brisbane. He keeps involved in local history through the West End Making History Group, which was instrumental in installing the six Boundary Street history plaques in 2019.
Tim Quinn considers that we get to know ourselves by knowing our local history. “It is very difficult for us to recognise who we are and where we might go in the future unless we understand our history.”
Tell me about your Griffith
Griffith has always been one of the most interesting federal electorates in Queensland. It’s where I’ve lived since 1968, when I first came to the West End as a student. I joined the Labor Party shortly after that, and so over time, I have seen support for the parties ebb and flow in the electorate, as it has sometimes been quite marginal. It changed several times between Liberal and Labor in the 1950s and early 1960s . But shortly before I came here, it became a Liberal electorate under Don Cameron for several terms. Then from the late 1970s, Ben Humphreys represented the Labor Party for many years. In the late 1990s it was represented by the Liberal party again for one term by Graeme McDougall. And then, of course, for the Labor Party by Kevin Rudd, and Terri Butler since then. So, it’s certainly not been one of those electorates that don’t ever change, which seems to be the case in parts of Sydney and Melbourne.
When I was young, a source of frustration for local Labor Party members was that Don Cameron kept getting elected for the Liberal Party over a number of years, despite the strength of the Labor vote in West End. But then, in time, people stuck very firmly with Ben, with Kevin, and now with Terri. So, it has changed, but it doesn’t change very often. And I think the electorate recognises when they have a strong local representative who has something to offer at the local level and something to offer at the national level as well.
Griffith takes in the state government electorate of South Brisbane and The Gabba Ward for Council. Both of those electorates have had strong Labor representation over time.
Across Griffith, the support for the Liberal Party is still strong. We need to remember that at many elections, including the last election, it’s been a contest between the Liberal Party and Labor candidates who come numbers one and two. But here in West End, it is a little different from the rest of Griffith. We tend to think sometimes that West End is the world. But, as appealing as that idea might be, it’s not so. And in fact, West End is not even all of Griffith. Griffith is a much larger electorate with many suburbs out to the East towards Cannon Hill, and South down towards parts of Mount Gravatt and Holland Park.
But there’s no doubt that the Green Party base has increased in the inner South Side and West End. I think one would recognise that at a Council and State level, the Labor Party here in this part of the city had always been represented by people with quite strong progressive social justice and green agenda credentials. For example, my good colleagues recently, Jackie Trad and Helen Abrahams, and myself too, had a very strong commitment to environmental values. We understood they were the aspirations of the people in this part of the city, and we responded to that. In more recent times, of course, under different circumstances, The Greens party has been elected with both a council ward and the state seat. I think the potential for the Greens vote was added to last state election by a quite ruthless media campaign and the decision of the Liberal Party to vote out Jackie.
Since the last election in 2019, as you mentioned, The Greens have secured a hold on South Brisbane and The Gabba Ward. What other things have changed since that election, and why do you think The Greens are talking up their fortunes?
I’m not sure why they talk up their fortunes because, of course, my approach to politics has always been to be a member of a strong team. And I think at both the Council and the State level, we see that the local Greens representatives have limited opportunities to contribute to any major policy debates or projects. Sure, they can put forward lots of ideas, and indeed they do have lots of ideas, but the chances of seeing any of them come to fruition are limited.
I’ve often seen, for example, the publicity put out by the Greens representatives, and it’s often couched in terms of “I put forward this idea”, or “I argued for that position”, but I never very much see that something was carried through to implementation, such as the new local schools that Jackie and Labor achieved for our area.
We have seen some big things since that last election for this part of the city. I think the key issues are to do with the obvious realisation of the impact of climate change. Secondly, the COVID pandemic. And thirdly, I think the change that’s happening in the economy and how that impacts people’s lives. For example, you can go and fill your tank with petrol, and it may cost you $100. We see the price of things going up for basic foods. That’s something that’s changed.
Another thing that’s changed in this part of the city is the increasing crisis in housing. Of course, it has always been a major issue, but I think it has ramped up significantly over the last few years, not only the impossibility of homeownership for great numbers of people, but in the serious difficulty of finding somewhere reasonable to rent, at an affordable price.
So the increasing impact of climate change internationally, nationally, and here locally with local flooding, COVID, and the changes in the economy, particularly housing, are some of the key issues.
Something that comes through that mix of experiences over that time, is the realisation of the critical role government can play in our communities. I think that had been undervalued for quite a few decades. And hand in hand with that is the significant role that community can play in people’s lives at the local level.
During COVID we saw the strong efforts by the State government to protect the community in the best way they could, based on the best advice at the time. Of course, there will always be some negative aspects of that sense of disruptions to things. But I think most people would agree it was, on the whole, a strong effort to protect the community. I think that reinforced the important and broad role that government can play in the lives of individuals and communities. We also saw those possibilities at the federal level. Although I think we also saw at the federal level the negative effects of a lack of planning.
When it comes to climate change, I think again, tragically, in Australia there have been decades of inaction. And we know that it’s an important matter for governments to take a lead role. It’s the same with housing. I think, unfortunately, many governments in the last 15 or 20 years, have not done as much on housing as needs to be done. I think that’s a basic and urgent role for government.
We live at a bit of a turning point. We now understand more fully the important role that government and community can play in our lives.
The area where Labor would seem to be most open to challenge is action on climate change because of its position around coal and gas, in Queensland in particular. So I think that Labor voters are grappling with that.
From my experience in Council, I know that you have to have policies capable of being strongly implemented. I sometimes think with The Greens there’s often a gap between what might be regarded as a perfect policy and the capacity ever to implement that policy.
My experience in politics says we should have a policy which is achievable, and implemented, and build on that. The experience that sticks out in my mind is the Greens’ decision to reject the Rudd government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (or CPRS) because they felt it wasn’t a perfect enough policy. It may have had its limits, but in fact, it was an important step in the right direction. And what’s really sad is that it opened up a decade of political warring with Australia doing very little about climate change. So, you know, it’s an old saying, but I think sometimes you’ve got to be careful not to make the perfect the enemy of something that’s pretty good. That may be something to build on and go forward.
How would you say the parties can be differentiated for the voter?
I think there’s strong sense in the community that it’s time to change the federal government. For example, the other night the prime minister was being asked about the crisis in aged care, and he said, “Oh, there have been difficulties for 30 years.” But the crisis in aged care has hugely developed on their watch, and it’s been a long watch. It’s been a 10-year watch. That seems to me to indicate not accepting responsibility for what’s going on. That’s the problem with the Liberal government nationally. And I think they’ve got no plans. I really think they’re hoping to just somehow get elected for another patch of time. They have no plans, as far as I’m aware for addressing climate change. They had to be dragged screaming and kicking into the modest proposals at Glasgow. In part, I think they’re divided on a range of issues. I see very little action and no plans on aged care and dealing with the economy.
There are limits on what the federal government can do in response to international issues. But they can take steps to raise people’s working conditions and wages, to make sure that people are able to cope with challenges in the economy.
The most effective way to change the government and to get somewhere on those important issues is to vote Labor.
The Brisbane Times recently cited former Labor Senator Clare Moore as saying that things have changed, and we may have to get used to the idea of minority government or at least having some form of coalition. That occurred under Gillard and some argue it was quite successful. Has the two-party system had its day and could minority government work effectively here as it does in Europe and other parts of the world?
I don’t have any experience of minority government, in Council. I was for six years clearly in opposition, and then for another thirteen years in administration. Interestingly, after my time as Lord Mayor, there was a period of four years where there was a sense of powerlessness with the Lord Mayor being one color and the Council another. It didn’t persist.
My strong preference is for a majority government with a clear program that it can implement over a number of terms. Sometimes, things can’t be implemented in the first term for a number of reasons. But if you have a progressive agenda, which you can implement initially and then build on, I think that’s the preferable way to go. I strongly believe that is the case for this election as well. But I acknowledge it’s important for majority governments to respect the views of all elected people and take those views on board and particularly take on board the views of people who elected minority party representatives.
Here in Griffith, vote Labor if you want to change the government. That’s the clear, straightforward way to do it. But also, there’s another important thing in Griffith, and I alluded to it before. Griffith has always elected representatives who can play a strong role in Canberra, particularly within government, and that’s an important prospect. The opportunity is certainly there to choose someone who’s been an effective local member, the opposition spokesperson on environment matters, and the prospect of being Minister of the Environment in a Labor Government, which is the case with Terri Butler. I think that’s an important consideration.
You were out on the hustings with pre-polling yesterday. Can you give me a sense of what that is like – is there any sense of where people might be directing their votes?
I think it’s sometimes difficult to gauge, particularly if there are small numbers of people quite sensibly not queuing up on a damp day. But I thought it was encouraging. The Labor Party had a strong presence, which is always good. But also, in terms of the people I spoke to, I thought there was quite a strong sense that the government should be changed. And I thought that there was an openness amongst people to consider Labor Party policies. So, I came away from my day at pre polling positive about the prospects for the election.

'That's momhood': Breastfeeding B.C. woman saves pet goose from eagle attack
A front door camera at a home in British Columbia captured the moment when a woman saved her pet goose from an eagle attack, while also nursing her newborn.
Cait Oakley and Mike Lazic live in North Saanich and say they've had a few chickens eaten by wildlife before, including three chickens that were killed within the past week.
Earlier this week, however, Oakley was able to save their female goose, Frankie, before she was whisked away.
'EAGLE JUST SWOOPED DOWN'
The couple says that Frankie knows to come to the front door if she needs their attention, like she's done before when she's encountered raccoons.
"She just sounded different so I went to the front door in the middle of feeding our babe," said Oakley.
"As soon as I opened the door the eagle just swooped down right then," she said. "That was the only thing in my head, just like, 'Drop it!'"
Oakley yelled and rushed at the eagle, scaring it away and saving Frankie's life.
"She's definitely a part of the family," said the B.C. woman about the goose. "She wanders around with us when we're gardening. She'll nibble at you – at your clothes – for treats. She's a very big presence in our lives."
Lazic says he knew "something was up" when he heard Oakley yell.
"Mike just ran outside and the first thing he said to me was, 'You're topless,' and I'm like, 'I'm very aware of the situation,'" said Oakley.
Lazic says it was a struggle to get the frightened Frankie back into her coop following the attack.
'THAT'S MOMHOOD'
Now that things have settled down, Frankie is still allowed to wander around the yard, but the family does have pens for all their animals.
"We've lost a lot of animals due to hawks and minks and otters and raccoons, so now we have everything secure," said Lazic.
All things considered, the family is in good spirits after the eagle attack.
"If something was to go viral, I'd prefer to be clothed and not in some boxer briefs but hey, you know what, that's momhood," said Oakley. "Got to save my goose from the eagle." | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/that-s-momhood-breastfeeding-b-c-woman-saves-pet-goose-from-eagle-attack-1.17801965 | 2022-05-18T00:14:10Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/that-s-momhood-breastfeeding-b-c-woman-saves-pet-goose-from-eagle-attack-1.17801965 | true | 1 |

Collier and Max Bent have been performing as the Beatbox Dads for the last seven years. They put on shows at schools, libraries, birthday parties and at events to entertain and introduce children to the fun of beatboxing and hip-hop culture.
“Our first few shows we were just doing in communal settings, and we got to really observe, as performers, we got to observe how the music was affecting community,” Bent said.

“Max and I are very passionate about making music and we really would love to be some of the first people that children have a chance to meet to explore sound, music, and movement,” Collier said.
The group is set to begin performing at noon on Sunday at the block party.

SAN ANTONIO – If you’re looking for a tablet to surf the web or for your kids to watch videos, the good news is you don’t have to spend a lot. Consumer Reports offers recommendations to fit just about every budget, including a couple that cost less than $100.
If you’re on a tight budget, CR recommends the Amazon Fire HD 8 (32 gigabytes) for about $90. It has an 8-inch screen, expandable storage, and an impressive battery life of more than 15 hours.
The older Amazon Fire 7 (16GB) is an even less expensive option for about $50. With a 6.9-inch screen, it’s lightweight and is a decent choice for checking email or reading the news.
“Both of these Amazon tablets allow restricted profiles for kids, which makes them a great option for families,” said Thomas Germain, Consumer Reports’ tech editor.
That’s also true for Samsung’s 2019 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 WiFi (32GB) for about $130. It’s one of the best tablets under $300 in CR’s exclusive ratings. It has a good 8-inch display and received an excellent score for predicted reliability.
If you want something a little larger, consider last year’s Apple iPad (64GB) for about $330. It has a high-quality 10.2-inch display and has excellent speed for everyday tasks.
“These are great little tablets that earn excellent scores in almost every category, including owner satisfaction and performance,” Germain said.
If you need more of a workhorse tablet -- one that might even replace a laptop for tasks like video editing -- and you have some money to burn, CR says to consider the top-of-the-line model, Apple’s iPad Pro (128GB) with a 12.9-inch screen for about $1,100. It’s faster than most other tablets in CR’s ratings. It takes excellent photos and video, has a top-quality display and is very easy to use.
When choosing a tablet, one thing to keep in mind is that not all app stores are created equal. Both Google and Apple’s app stores have much more to offer than what’s available for Fire OS.

Andrelton Simmons’ return to the Chicago Cubs couldn’t have come at a better time.
Simmons endured a frustrating rehab from right shoulder soreness, something he never had experienced in his 11-year big-league career before it sidelined him during spring training.
But with second baseman Nick Madrigal already on the injured list, shortstop Nico Hoerner’s move to the IL on Sunday struck a big blow to the Cubs’ middle infield depth while costing them one of their best defensive players.
The Cubs activated Simmons from the IL as the corresponding move Sunday, and he entered as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the ninth inning and recorded the final out against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Simmons — who started at short in Monday’s series-opening 9-0 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field — indicated his shoulder feels pretty good but still has room to improve.
He didn’t need to wait long to collect his first hit as a Cub. With the bases loaded in the first inning, Simmons hit a soft roller down the third-base line that slowed to a stop halfway to the base without a play being made.
The two-out RBI infield single was part of an eight-run first that also included a Willson Contreras grand slam for his 100th career home run. Simmons finished 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
Hoerner’s stellar play at shortstop allowed Simmons to take the proper time to build up his shoulder and not feel pressured to join the Cubs before he was fully ready.
“He was holding (it down), so I’m like, all right, I’ve got some room to improve,” Simmons said. “Do I jump back in or do I try to keep getting better, as good as I can, so I’m close to my best?
“(The trainers) had my back the whole time. They made extra time for me and all that. So they want me out there. They’re doing everything to keep me on the field.”
Simmons was a little discouraged by how long the shoulder soreness lingered, but he’s happy to finally be around his teammates. All of his 1,190 major-league games in the field have come at shortstop, though he’s willing to play second base if needed.
Simmons likely will receive the bulk of playing time at shortstop for however long Hoerner is sidelined.
“I mean, I want to help the team any way I can,” Simmons said. “I know short is always going to be my forte, but Nico has been playing pretty good. So whatever they need, I’m here to help.”

U.S. regulators on Tuesday authorized a COVID-19 booster shot for healthy 5- to 11-year-olds, hoping an extra vaccine dose will enhance their protection as infections once again creep upward.
Everyone 12 and older already was supposed to get one booster dose for the best protection against the newest coronavirus variants — and some people, including those 50 and older, can choose a second booster.
The Food and Drug Administration’s authorization now opens a third shot of Pfizer’s vaccine 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. The CDC’s scientific advisers are scheduled to meet on Thursday.
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech make the only COVID-19 vaccine available for children of any age i n the U.S. Those ages 5 to 11 receive one-third of the dose given to everyone 12 and older.
Whether elementary-age children need a booster has been overshadowed by parents’ outcry to vaccinate even younger tots, those under 5 — the only group not yet eligible in the U.S. Both Pfizer and rival Moderna have been studying their shots in the youngest children, and theFDA is expected to evaluate datafrom one or both companies sometime next month.
For the 5- to 11-year-olds, it’s not clear how much demand there will be for boosters. Only about 30% of that age group have had the initial two Pfizer doses since vaccinations opened to them in November.
But Pfizer’s vaccine “is effective in helping to prevent the most severe consequences of COVID-19 in individuals 5 years of age and older,” said FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks ”A booster dose can help provide continued protection against COVID-19 in this and older age groups.”
In a small study, Pfizer found a booster revved up those kids’ levels of virus-fighting antibodies– including those able to fight the super-contagious omicron variant — the same kind of jump adults get from an extra shot.
While the coronavirus is more dangerous to adults than to children, youngsters can get severely ill — and more than 350 children ages 5 to 11 have died, according to CDC’s count.
Adding to public confusion, the CDC estimates 3 out of every 4 U.S. children of all ages have been infected with the coronavirus since the pandemic’s start — many of them during the winter omicron wave. Still, health authorities urge vaccination even in people who’ve previously had COVID-19, to strengthen their protection.
With subtypes of omicron now spreading, the U.S. is averaging about 91,000 cases reported a day, compared to about 57,000 just two weeks ago. That’s a small fraction of the infections seen during the brutal winter surge — but experts also say it’s a vast undercount as testing has dropped and at-home tests often aren’t reported.
Vaccination may not always prevent milder infections, especially as omicron and its siblings are better than some prior variants at slipping past those defenses. But health authorities agree the vaccinations continue to offer strong protection against the worst outcomes of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Rory McIlroy was 25 years old when he hoisted the Wanamaker Trophy over his head and looked primed for a run at the PGA record books.
He’d just won the 2014 PGA Championship for his fourth major title and it was open question of how many more were in the Northern Irishman’s future. He’d even made a terrific save of the trophy itself, snatching the top as it nearly tumbled to the ground during a clumsy handoff in the presentation.
But eight years later, McIlory heads into this week’s PGA Championship at Southern Hills still looking for that surprisingly elusive fifth major victory.
It’s not that McIlroy’s game crumbled. He has 20 career tour victories, twice reclaimed the No. 1 ranking and starred in Ryder Cup victories for Europe. On the personal side, he got married and had a child.
And he comes into this week with some serious momentum and a confidence boost after a blistering final-round 64 at the Masters that rocketed him to a second-place finish behind Scottie Scheffler. It was his best finish at a major in four years.
“I feel good about it all,” he said. “I’m certainly in a better place with my game than where I was this time last year” going into the PGA Championship.
McIlroy has twice won the PGA Championship. His dominant eight-stroke victory at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island in 2012 was a tournament record, smashing a mark set by Jack Nicklaus in 1960. The 2014 victory at Valhalla edged Phil Mickelson by a stroke.
McIlroy noted Tuesday that in a couple of his previous major victories, it was a big early start that left the pack chasing him to the end.
“You can’t plan on getting out ahead,” McIlroy said. “That’s just something that happens if you play well and get some momentum. You’re sort of feeling it.
“It’s not as if I went out with the mindset those four tournaments of I’m going to go out and shoot 65 the first two days and let them all come and catch me. It just sort of happened,” he said.
Those results also helped McIlroy draw a map to see where some other wins got away. The second round at the Masters last month stands out.
“The things that have stopped me from getting in contention or being able to win these majors is big numbers and shooting myself out of it sort of early,” McIlroy said. “(At Augusta) I went bogey, double bogey on 10 and 11. On Friday. You go par-par there and all of a sudden there’s those three shots. It doesn’t take much in major championships. It’s tiny margins.”
A second-round 73 two weeks ago at the Wells Fargo Championship barely got him to the weekend before he again finished strong in fifth.
So look for a cautious and conservative McIlroy at Southern Hills. Play it safe, and play for par to be in contention at the end.
“Tiger (Woods) did it most of his career, and OK, he had a couple of huge wins in there, but a lot of times being conservative with his strategy, letting other guys make the mistakes,” McIlroy said. “Pars are pretty good in major championships, and that’s sort of the philosophy that I believe in going forward.”
McIlroy is trying to keep things as loose as possible. He showed no hint of internal pressure to win that elusive fifth major and has kept a push for intense, detailed pre-tournament preparation at Southern Hills to a minimum.
“I’ve won a couple of major championships where I’ve played nine holes on Tuesday, nine holes on Wednesday and sort of teed it up and played really well. Sometimes not knowing where the trouble is, ignorance is bliss in some ways,” McIlroy said. “I’ll take execution over preparation any day.”

Jermaine Pennant and Jess Impiazzi reveal plans to take their romance to the next level
JERMAINE Pennant and Jess Impiazzi have revealed plans to take their romance to the next level.
The former football legend and the actress are talking about getting a dog together after spending a day besotted with the pooches at Guide Dogs UK.
CBB stars Jermaine and Jess gave fans a glimpse inside their emotional day at Guide Dogs UK- where the besotted couple looked for a dog of their own after her mother went blind 16 years ago.
The beauty, 32, and Jermaine, 39, took a surprise trip to Leamington Spa to support Guide Dogs UK who are appealing for 'Puppy Raiser volunteers', and ended up almost taking one home.
A source told The Sun: "Jess’s mum lost her sight 16 years ago so Guide Dog is close to her heart.
The couple fell for a pair of the puppies at the centre and when they had to leave it became a very “emotional situation”. The pair both love dogs and chatted about getting one together."
Jermaine already has two dogs of his own he lives with in Birmingham.
The source added: "They were reminded that those little cuties were specifically for being trained by ‘Puppy Raisers’.
The pair are now discussing whether to get a pooch together to cement their relationship.”
The Sun revealed the former Liverpool ace and the actress had been secretly dating for five months.

Jess, who has been filming for JK Rowling's The Strike, has just returned from her first holiday together with Jermaine in Tenerife.
They made their first official appearance as a couple at the Lost City premiere.
A source said: “Jess is finally ready to date again after her divorce.
"She and Jermaine have been dating since last November and things are going really well."
“They have both had really public relationships in the past, but are keen to keep this one away from the public eye.
“This holiday has really cemented their relationship and Jess’s friends are really pleased to see her so happy.”
Jess, who rose to fame on Ex On The Beach, was left heartbroken last year after her boyfriend – old school pal Matthew Cook, abruptly dumped her.
Prior to that she dated footballer Samir Carruthers but they split after a year of dating.
She was previously married to rugby player Denny Solomona.
Jermaine’s love life has been just as rocky thanks to his on/off romance with wife Alice Goodwin.

Kāinga Ora is being asked to explain why a deranged tenant who has repeatedly threatened to kill a terrified family and burn down their house has been allowed to remain in her state home.
"It's a horrible story," National's housing spokesman Chris Bishop said after the Herald reported that a Rotorua family are sleeping together in their lounge and their children receiving therapy following months of abusive, threatening behaviour from the woman next door.
"I think everyone reading it would have put themselves in the position of the family and been pretty appalled."
The children's mother has been fighting for over a year for police and Kāinga Ora to take action against the tenant and her gang member partner.

Advertise with NZME.And despite the neighbour threatening to kill the mother with a shotgun and have her and another woman on the street raped, the mother says Kāinga Ora has refused to move the tenant on or take action to protect her family.
Instead, a tenancy manager told the mother to file a police complaint if she felt unsafe and apply for emergency housing with the Ministry of Social Development.
Bishop said the case, though horrific, was not an isolated one due to a "sustaining tenancies" policy that has seen just three Kainga Ora tenants evicted since Labour came to power in 2017.
"Sadly this is a story we're seeing repeated around the country. It begs the question here of why does Kāinga Ora not take action in these circumstances?"
Bishop said there was a waiting list of 25,000 people who were desperate for a state home but weren't able to get one.
"Why do people who terrorise their neighbours get to stay?"
Rotorua mayor Steve Chadwick said she was not aware of the details but the situation appeared to be challenging.
"We want everyone in Rotorua to feel safe and in situations like these it is my expectation that the relevant government agencies and ministers are working together to find a satisfactory resolution and that this is being done with some urgency."

Advertise with NZME.The family estimate they have called police about the woman's erratic behaviour at least 60 times during their 14-month tenancy, resulting in numerous police callouts, and repeatedly complained to Kāinga Ora for help.
In the most recent and disturbing incident, the mother found her children "uncontrollably shaking with fear and crying" after a psychotic episode in the middle of the night culminated in the neighbour yelling, "I'm gonna f*****g murder you".
"That's right, we got a shotgun, and we ain't afraid to use it," the woman screamed as the family cowered inside.
"You don't know who my baby daddy is, don't f*** with me ... you're gonna die ... b**** f*****g nark b****."
The family fear the woman could have access to firearms through her patched gang member partner. The two terrified young children are now sleeping with their parents in a tent in their lounge and receiving weekly therapy sessions from a child psychologist.
Associate Housing Minister Poto Williams said everyone deserved to feel safe in their home.

Advertise with NZME.Kāinga Ora was working closely with mental health and social service support providers in this case, as well as police, to address the "underlying issues".
She acknowledged this had been a very difficult time for affected neighbours.
"Kāinga Ora has visited and contacted the tenant several times in the past weeks, encouraging them to get specialist care and support.
"They are also currently exploring other housing options which may provide a more suitable home for them to live in.
"It is my expectation that Kāinga Ora continues to work with other agencies to resolve the situation."
The Herald asked Williams whether it was right for the tenant to keep her taxpayer-funded home while the family were too scared to sleep in their bedrooms and the children needed counselling due to the ongoing abuse.

Advertise with NZME.She did not respond directly, but said the agency had strengthened its policy this year to deal with challenging tenants.
"As minister, it is my expectation that these changes are enacted and that different housing options which may better serve a tenant's needs, are found.
"My office has been briefed on the steps Kāinga Ora is taking to find a solution for the situation in Rotorua."
Meanwhile, an employment and tenancy advocate has offered to work with the family after reading of their "awful situation".
Cassey Bliss said she could assist the family through any potential Tenancy Tribunal case or Human Rights Review Tribunal proceedings should they arise.
"It's clear their right to quiet enjoyment has been breached, what's not really clear is who should take responsibility."

NBA Odds: How Al Horford’s Absence Affected Celtics-Heat Game Line
Horford was surprisingly ruled out Tuesday
The Boston Celtics will be without Marcus Smart and Al Horford for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. Their absences are big losses for Boston, and bettors quickly jumped on that fact.
The public had been on the Heat heading into Game 1 when Miami were two-point favorites. Now FanDuel Sportsbook has pushed the Heat to 4.5-point favorites over the Celtics.
The moneyline on the Heat moved to -198, and the Celtics moneyline moved to +166. This means a $100 bet on Boston would pay out $266.
Horford was ruled out Tuesday after being placed in health and safety protocols. According to ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Celtics are preparing for the scenario of Horford not playing in Game 2.
Boston opened as favorites to win the series, but now face an uphill battle against the Heat. | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/05/nba-odds-how-al-horfords-absence-affected-celtics-heat-game-line/ | 2022-05-18T00:57:44Z | https://nesn.com/bets/2022/05/nba-odds-how-al-horfords-absence-affected-celtics-heat-game-line/ | false | 1 |

Des Moines City Council debates how far state law restricts police review boards
Des Moines City Council members debated on Tuesday whether state law allows the city to create a police department review board that could review investigations of police misconduct.
During a work session, Des Moines City Manager Scott Sanders presented a plan to the council that would create an advisory police department citizen review board. Sanders' recommendation fell short of of recommendations made in a city-commissioned report that said a police review board should be able to investigate officer misconduct.
Changes made last year to state law prohibit the city from creating an investigatory review board, Sanders said.
"State law has come in to pre-empt any efforts that I've seen in the past for communities to put that in play," Sanders said after the meeting.
What did the Public Works LLC Report recommend?
In late April, a report from Pennsylvania consultant Public Works LLC recommended the city create a report that is both advisory and investigatory. The city council-commissioned report also recommended the Des Moines Police Department collect data from traffic stops that do not result in citations or arrests, something not currently done.
Ward 1 Council member Indira Sheumaker said Iowa state law would prohibit the board from doing its own investigations into police misconduct. So she wants a board that can review investigations done by the Des Moines Police Department into officer misconduct.
"That's an important distinction," Sheumaker said.
Before being elected to the council in November, Sheumaker was a social-justice advocate. Groups like the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP have called for an independent police review board since at least 2018. The Public Works LLC report validated those calls, Sheumaker said.
"That recommendation gave the public request, that has existed for a while, a lot of credence," Sheumaker said.
More:Des Moines Police urged to collect better traffic data and create a review board, report says
In focus groups, the idea of a civilian review board that would both advise the department and review investigations of officer misconduct was among the most popular recommendations.
"Respondents want the board to function as an independent investigative entity that holds the DMPD accountable and has no stake in the outcome," the report said. "They want an entity that has the power to make decisions/changes and that deals with systemic issues."
Ward 3 Council member Josh Mandelbaum said that since he first took office in 2018, he's been working with community members to trust institutions. Oversight is important because law enforcement and first responders are so vital that people must trust them, Mandelbaum said.
"You want to provide accountability so that everyone in the community has trust in our institutions, because trust in our institutions is one of the most important things that government officials can provide," Mandelbaum said.
Will state law allow the review board to be investigatory?
Cedar Rapids created its citizen review board in January 2021. Later last year, the Iowa State Legislature amended state law to keep complaints against officers, officers' statements, and recordings or transcripts of disciplinary interviews or proceedings confidential.
Little information can be released under state law about investigations into officer misconduct, Sanders said. Under current law, the department can say only general things about complaints, such as "confirmed," "sustained" or "unfounded," Sanders said.
"In order to make disciplinary decisions, you need to have all the information available to you," Sanders said. "If the state law is not allowing you to have that information, then I would recommend not even getting involved in discipline."
State law clearly limits the power of a citizen review board, Mandelbaum said. He still thought there are ways for a citizen review board to have overview investigations into officer misconduct.
State law would narrow ways a board could provide oversight of the department but would not prevent a board from providing oversight, Mandelbaum said.
"State law should not be preventing accountability and oversight," Mandelbaum said. "That's the fundamental job of the council and the community."
During the work session Sheumaker asked if the City Council could review, but not release, disciplinary records because the city employs officers. Des Moines City Attorney Jeffrey Lester said the city's legal counsel will check on that.
Like Mandelbaum, Sheumaker said she understands the constraints placed on the city by state law. She wants to be responsive to concerns of residents, though, and go further than creating an advisory board.
"I want to make sure we can get something that has some effect," Sheumaker said. "Without even exploring those options, we definitely aren't getting something that has an effect."

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Lawmakers are considering a bill to help first responders and teachers buy homes.
Right now, buying a home is so expensive that Chief A.J. Panebianco with the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police says many first responders can’t afford it.
“Their pay is often more stagnant than the housing market,” Panebianco said.
The same is true of teachers. That means those public servants aren’t able to own home in the communities that they serve.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia are working on a bipartisan fix for that.
“This bipartisan legislation that is aimed at making homeownership more affordable for heroes and public servants,” Ossoff said.
They’re trying to create a special home loan program for first responders and teachers. Their plan would eliminate down payments and mortgage insurance premiums for those workers.
“There’s a lot of reasons why housing costs are high and unaffordable and we’re trying to address one of them through these changes in the law,” Rubio said.
Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., is part of the group pushing matching legislation in the House.
“[Those] who risk their lives and dedicate their lives for the betterment of our societies to have that break so that they can get into those homes with their families,” Katko said.
Advocates believe this is crucial to both recruit and retain these essential public workers. Sam Royer, the national director of Heroes First Home Loans, believes this has the potential to really impact lives.
“It gives them a fighting chance to afford a home in today’s housing market that has skyrocketed over the last few years,” Royer said.
The lawmakers behind the effort say these workers deserve it.
“This is the least that we can do and I’m hopeful we can get this done,” Rubio said. | https://www.myhighplains.com/washington/washington-dc/bipartisan-push-to-help-first-responders-and-teachers-buy-homes/ | 2022-05-18T01:04:40Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/washington/washington-dc/bipartisan-push-to-help-first-responders-and-teachers-buy-homes/ | false | 20 |

A successful hybrid cloud architecture is one that addresses how to build, deploy, manage and connect a hybrid mix of applications across a hybrid infrastructure environment. These applications will span multiple infrastructure footprints—across cloud providers and customer datacenters and multiple Kubernetes clusters, as well as systems that run on vendor management systems (VMSs), bare metal and edge environments. The requirements for application connectivity bring together concepts and technologies that have previously been considered distinct. An ideal hybrid cloud networking solution must address traffic concerns in a unified way, managing the low-level global networking infrastructure and the higher-level application connectivity concerns. Kubernetes and Linux containers provide the foundation for connecting applications that run on that platform to end users, to other application services on the same platform, and to services that run outside of the platform.

Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors often present themselves as uncontrollable movements or spasms, especially near the hands. By recognizing when these troubling symptoms appear, earlier treatments can be provided and improve the prognosis for the patient compared to later detection. Nick Bild had the idea to create a small wearable band called “Introvention” that could sense when smaller tremors occur in hopes of catching them sooner. An Arduino Nano 33 IoT was used to both capture the data and send it to a web server since it contains an onboard accelerometer and has WiFi support. At first, Bild collected many samples of typical activities using the Edge Impulse Studio and fed them into a K-means clustering algorithm which detects when a movement is outside of the “normal” range. Once deployed to the Arduino, the edge machine learning model can run entirely on the board without the need for an external service.

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore recently published research data that could lead to the development of cleaner, more environmentally sustainable aviation fuel.
In collaboration with researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Sandia team explored the potential of cycloalkanes, molecules composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms in a ring structure with only single bonds, to reduce the formation of condensation trails and soot emissions in aircraft. The findings were detailed in Frontiers in Energy Research.
The global demand for petroleum-based aviation fuel is only expected to increase, resulting in more carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere, and with it a growing impact on climate change, according to Sandia chemist Alexander Landera.
“Unlike other forms of travel, such as cars and trucks, there is currently no foreseeable path to electrify the aviation sector,” Landera explained. “Therefore, mitigation efforts are necessary to decarbonize the aviation industry.”
One of the research team’s key objectives has been to minimize the aromatic content of aviation fuel and replace it with cycloalkanes. Aromatics are substances derived from refining crude oil and are used as a source of octane, which increases an engine’s power and fuel efficiency. Aromatics have also been beneficial because they cause the O-rings in an engine to swell, which is important in maintaining engine seals and preventing fuel leaks.
However, aromatics also produce soot during combustion, which, like carbon dioxide, has a greenhouse effect and contributes to the heating of Earth’s climate system. However, the research shows cycloalkanes also make good candidates as far as their ability to cause O-ring swelling and their strong fuel properties, according to Landera. There could be a significant environmental benefit even if not all aromatics can be eliminated.
The researchers examined the physical properties of various families of cycloalkanes and their potential impact on an aircraft’s operability, performance, and safety. The hope is by creating a database of these properties, the research will encourage cycloalkanes to be included in future aviation fuels.
The research is funded by the Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office. | https://www.independentnews.com/news/regional_and_ca/sandia-working-to-create-cleaner-aviation-fuel/article_d5509e42-d5f3-11ec-aa0e-abb12a97cc6e.html | 2022-05-18T01:09:14Z | https://www.independentnews.com/news/regional_and_ca/sandia-working-to-create-cleaner-aviation-fuel/article_d5509e42-d5f3-11ec-aa0e-abb12a97cc6e.html | true | 1 |
Federal regulator demands answers from Bell MTS over landline service complaints
Federal regulators are demanding answers and solutions from the bell MTS after several Manitobans have spoken out about their landline phone service which they call unacceptable.
The main landline at St. George’s Anglican Church in Crescentwood has been down since late April. Mary Smith, a parish administrator, said many parishioners there rely on that old school phone service.
“It’s been really frustrating, at this point, it’s hard for people to reach the Church,” said Smith.
Making matters worse, the phone line is connected to the church’s security system, so calls were rerouted to a backup line.
“And that line was going down as well and we were getting security alarms to the people who answer to them,” said Smith.
The Church’s service provider is Bell MTS.
“They apparently came and nobody seems to know what they did and we still don’t have a phone,” said Smith. “It would be nice if they could provide constant service, that’s all we’re asking."
The church is not alone. Other people CTV News spoke with are also having issues with their Bell MTS landlines.
Karen Kirk’s phone works now, but the West End homeowner said that was not the case three weeks during the first downpour of rain.
“The service became very crackly and it was difficult to hear,” said Kirk.
On top of that, Kirk said the system malfunctioned, inadvertently calling 911 three times resulting in a late night knock at her door to make sure everyone in the house was okay.
Joy Sutyla’s 84-year-old father has had a prolonged outage since March 8. He lives alone in rural Manitoba near Elma.
“I’m worried that I’m going to find him on the floor and he can’t tell me this,” said Sutyla.
Because of the number of complaints, the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which is the federal regulator of broadcasting and telecommunications, is demanding Bell MTS identify all landline quality issues in the Winnipeg area.
On top of that, the CRTC is requiring Bell MTS to provide a plan to resolve the problem, along with a timeline.
“These issues and outages are impacting their ability to contact 9-1-1 and essential services. Moreover, residents have been complaining of poor customer service, missed appointments, and that Bell MTS has failed to respond to service outages in a timely manner. Many of the complaints refer to deteriorating telecommunications infrastructure across the city,” the CRTC said in a letter to Bell MTS.
Bell, which owns Bell MTS, is the parent company of CTV News. In a statement, Bell MTS said the extreme weather events this winter and spring have caused damage to cables.
“We have called in staff from outside of the area and our technicians are working overtime to get customers’ services up and running as quickly as possible. As calls for repairs are up over 60 per cent, we have been connecting with customers who may be experiencing prolonged outages to offer alternative service solutions,” the company told CTV News.
Bell MTS also said to prepare for the flooding it sandbagged its infrastructure and deployed batteries and generators in case of power outages.

Guru Nanak Institute launches online courses in Punjabi to promote Sikhism
The Guru Nanak Institute will operate online and at first offer three courses on Sikhism. It has plans to build a school and to expand its curriculum to academic subjects and research
Article content
A new private post-secondary school launched on Tuesday offers students a Sikh studies diploma that it calls the first in Canada.

Article content
The new school, called the Guru Nanak Institute of Global Studies, is named after the founder of the Sikh religion. It will begin courses online only, possibly as early as next month, but its founder and board chair said it has plans to eventually build an campus somewhere in B.C.
“We will need 50 to 100 acres,” said Gian Singh Sandhu, who was joined at GNI’s launch in the lobby of Surrey City Hall by local politicians and an official from Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus, which hopes one day to partner with GNI to offer courses, possibly in Sikh studies.
“It is really early days,” said Stephen Dooley, executive-director of SFU Surrey.
He called the GNI “innovative” and said the school could provide courses similar to the South Asian courses offered by universities that would specifically allow Sikhs to “delve deeper into what Sikhism is. It could be a chance to understand their cultural roots.”

He said it could also be for “developing programs for people like me” who are interested in better understanding Sikhism “to foster more tolerance as a country and a society.”
SFU has a mandate to offer equity, inclusion and diversity in its programming and policies, and may be interested in partnering with GNI in future on courses.
The institute will at first offer three programs “specifically focused on Sikhism from an academic perspective, versus a religious one,” according to a news release.
The Sikh studies diploma will offer seven courses designed to have students become fluent and proficient in reading and writing Punjabi and study Sikh religious, moral and social values “to have a solid understand of Sikh ethos and how they connect with social justice.”

Students can also complete a Punjabi studies certificate to become fluent and proficient in the language, or the Gurmat music diploma, which would prepare students for a career or path toward the Sikh spiritual hymn singing tradition, according to the release.
Mehtab Singh, a second-year health sciences student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, said he would be interested in learning more about his religion. He said he sees the GNI as a positive step toward encouraging more Sikhs to enrol in post-secondary education.
Sandhu said the board is working on getting the school accredited by the province and said 75 faculty members from schools around the world have agreed to teach at the school. The intention is to eventually expand the curriculum to include academic and business courses and to foster research.
He said the university is privately funded and is non-profit. It has a “liberal” scholarship and bursary policy for students unable to afford tuition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A controversial bill that was signed into law by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee last year has now been struck down by a federal judge. House Bill 1182 was signed into law on May 17, 2021, and went into effect on July 1, 2021.
The law required businesses that allow transgender people to use public restrooms that match with the gender they align with to post signs stating, “This facility maintains a policy of allowing the use of restrooms by either biological sex, regardless of the designation on the restroom.” Business owners who refused could face criminal charges, according to the law.
According to the Tennessee General Assembly website, the bill went into effect last year, but a preliminary injunction was granted, blocking the law just eight days later on July 9.
The injunction was a result of a lawsuit filed on behalf of Bob Bernstein, owner of the restaurant “Fido” in Nashville. Bernstein objected to the signs, saying they presented a stigmatizing message.
At Fido, the restaurant has policies that allow customers to use whatever bathroom they believe is appropriate for them. The restaurant also reports it has had no complaints or concerns about the policy.
The injunction filed on behalf of Bernstein lasted through the judge’s decision Tuesday to strike down the law.
In the decision, the judge wrote in part, “Transgender Tennesseans are real. The businesses and establishments that wish to welcome them are real. And the viewpoints that those individuals and businesses hold are real, even if they differ from the views of some legislators or government officials. While those government officials have considerable power, they have no authority to wish those opposing viewpoints away.”
Last year, Davidson County’s District Attorney, Glenn Funk, stated he would not enforce the rule, even after it was signed into law. In a June 2021 letter to lawmakers, Funk wrote, “District attorneys have discretion of when and under what circumstances to enforce laws enacted by the legislative branch and signed by the executive.”
The DA said his office is devoted to public safety, prosecuting violent crimes, and supporting victims, and the bathroom sign law, “does not accomplish those goals.”
In a release issued the following week, the Nashville DA stated, “I believe every person is welcome and valued in Nashville. Enforcement of transphobic and homophobic laws is contrary to those values. My office will not promote hate.”
Tennessee was the first state to require such signage inside businesses that allow transgender people to use multi-person bathrooms that align with their gender. | https://wreg.com/news/nation-and-world/tennessee-transgender-bathroom-law-struck-down-by-federal-judge-2/ | 2022-05-18T01:17:54Z | https://wreg.com/news/nation-and-world/tennessee-transgender-bathroom-law-struck-down-by-federal-judge-2/ | true | 22 |
