Softball Sectionals: Spartans look to slay the mighty Red Dragons
The road to the Class AAA Region 3 softball tournament has not been a smooth one for Greenbrier East by any means.
However, the Spartans have found a way to successfully weather the storms including two nail-biting sectional road wins over Beckley.
Now East faces its biggest storm to date when it battles St. Albans in the best-of-3 regional championship series starting Tuesday.
“St. Albans will have two girls to throw at us that have been as good as anybody we have seen, without a doubt,” Greenbrier East head coach Aaron Ambler said. “We have to hit. I don’t see it being a 1-0 type ballgame. I think we will have to score some runs. Not to say small ball won’t be a part of it, but we will have to knock some runs in when we have some girls on base.”
One of the biggest obstacles that Greenbrier East has had to overcome is injuries to key players this year.
“We are still a little short-handed. Some girls that have been injured are still out. We won’t get anyone back that we haven’t had recently,” Ambler said. “We had some younger girls that played in the sectional that really came through. They will be the ones that will be there this week. We will suit them up and see what happens.”
“A lot of times it seems like the younger girls are anxious and eager to get in there and play. When they get the opportunity, a lot of times they come through for you.”
A pair of seniors have steadied the ship for East through its postseason ride.
Brooke Davis is hitting .371 and blasted the game-winning home run in the sectional championship against Beckley.
Fellow senior Aubrey Glover is hitting .348 and has been a stalwart in centerfield. Glover’s rocket to cut down a runner at the plate was a key factor in preserving the 1-0 win over Beckley in the decisive win-or-go home battle.
“Aubrey Glover can cover a lot of ground in the outfield and she is a nightmare for opposing teams on the base paths,” Ambler said. “She can lay a bunt down, or smack one up the middle. When she gets on, she is pretty hard to stop.”
Josi Ervin was masterful in the three games against Beckley allowing only two runs. Ervin is hitting .339 and has a 1.85 ERA. She has struckout 113 batters in 102 innings.
“Josi Ervin has been consistent all year. She has done a good job hitting her spots and giving the defense a chance to make some plays. When our defense has had a chance, it has backed her up pretty well,” Ambler said.
While the Spartans have been able to make the adjustments on defense brought on by the injuries, hitting has still been a work in progress.
“Defensively we have made some adjustments and played pretty well, but we need to hit the ball better,” Ambler said. “Our batting line-up is a lot different than it was earlier in the year. We need to get the bat on the ball for us to be successful.
To remedy some of the issues offensively, Ambler has played small ball with his exceptional team speed.
“Some teams will crash both corners and others will leave the first baseman back and have the pitcher cover that side of the infield,” Ambler said. “Some will crash the third baseman so hard that you can almost push it past them. When we knew we would play more small ball, we worked on placing the ball where we wanted to.”
The Red Dragons are led by one of the top pitchers in the state in reigning Player of the Year Tayven Stephenson who has a 1.15 ERA and 176 strikeouts in 115 innings of work. Stephenson has only allowed 19 earned runs.
Sophomore Sydney Young is hitting .479 and has 20 extra base hits, as well as 33 RBI. Freshman Kyndall Harper has a .476 average and 23 extra base hits including a state-leading 12 home runs. Harper has knocked in 41 runs.
“These girls are not where they want to be yet, but they have already accomplished some things,” Ambler said. “Hopefully getting through the sectionals as banged up as were will give us some motivation going into the regional. We know we will have our hands full.”
Game one will be played in St. Albans at 6 p.m. Game two will move to Fairlea Wednesday with game three, if needed, back in St. Albans. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605571607918/softball-sectionals-spartans-look-to-slay-the-mighty-red-dragons | 2022-05-20T05:36:59Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605571607918/softball-sectionals-spartans-look-to-slay-the-mighty-red-dragons | true | 1 |

Breaking Bias in the Workplace: Men in Social Care
There are 1.67m jobs estimated in adult social care across the UK, with their vital work supporting thousands of those in need throughout the country.
Now, a new report by Skills For Care is highlighting the growing number of social care workers experiencing “burn-out” following the pandemic, with a killer cocktail of compulsory vaccinations (subsequently scrapped), doubling rates of sickness absence due to Covid related illness, and a sudden drop in supply of international workers following tightened immigration rules creating a “rapidly deteriorating situation”, according to the ADASS. (Association of Director of Adult Social Services).
With vacancies in this sector rising to 9.1% in October 2021, up from 6.2% in March, ADASS president Stephen Chandler is calling for government acknowledgement and emergency funding to tackle the mounting “unmet need” in this critical sector of work.
What does the Social Care sector look like?
The Adult Social Care sector employs an estimated 1.54m people, fulfilling 1.67m vital job roles throughout the country. Despite this, there is a shortage of workers and a significant gap in the demographic of employees.
In a recent report by The Skills for Care, the employee gender gap in the Social Care sector showed 82% of this workforce identify as female. This trend was seen throughout all job roles surveyed including:
- Senior Management
- Registered Manager
- Social worker
- Occupational therapist
- Registered nurse
- Senior care worker
- Care worker
- Support outreach
- Personal assistant
Back in 2019, an article in The Guardian titled “Jobs for the Boys” highlighted the need to attract more men to this sector, providing beneficial opportunities to close growing staff shortages while also fulfilling the demand of offering an alternative for those being cared for, to have the choice of being looked after by a man.
The issue of traditional perceptions of “gendered careers” can be felt throughout the job market, with unconscious bias affecting career progression and workplace recruitment for many. Jobs like Mechanics, Carpenters and Electricians continue to present as a significantly “male” career path, with 99.19%, 99.01% and 98.27% respectively falling into this demographic. While roles such as Nursery Nurses and Assistants remaining a sector with a 97.77% female workforce.
As we enter an age of more acceptance and fluidity in gender norms, it would be expected to see a shift in such workplace beliefs. But despite continued advancements in equal opportunities throughout society, research by Anchor Hanover published in 2019 revealed that 85% of men say that they simply would not choose a career in care, with 35% of those surveyed believing the Social Care sector is a “women’s sector”.
What causes bias in the workplace?
The effects of bias are felt throughout the workplace, with a recent article published by FE News written by colleague Sian Wilson, Executive Director of Commercial at The Skills Network shedding light on bias against Women in the EdTech industry.
While gender bias often stems from stereotypes, unconscious bias poses a great risk to both the employee and employer. Unconscious bias are often so engrained that behaviors are acted on without conscious thought. The effects of this are seen in these “gendered” job roles, and it’s critical that educators and employers work to break such bias to create a more varied, adaptable and inclusive workforce.
How can education help?
Education is a key element to resolving bias and subsequent staff shortages throughout the job market, allowing individuals to recognise the unconscious bias they may hold in their individual lives.
Offering training provisions made accessible to all people regardless of background, lifestyle and preferences, and expanding content and materials to encourage inclusion in learning opportunities creates more equality in educational settings.
When moving into workplace settings, a focus on the skills knowledge and behaviors of the worker is key, ensuring continued awareness of the reality of unconscious bias. Once the employer creates more inclusive recruitment opportunities, those individuals from underrepresented groups are able to feel empowered to enter more varied sectors of work.
The Social Care sector is an area that continues to struggle with unequal employee demographics throughout, with evidence of gender bias alongside low-paid roles providing fewer incentives for those looking to enter the sector.
Breaking unconscious gender bias through better educational resources and equal employment opportunities could pose a possible solution to inviting more men to enter the sector. Similarly, incentives such as the 12 month Health and Care visa scheme is now giving international employees the opportunity to work and live in the UK, another step to establishing a more varied workforce to this sector.

UPPER PROVIDENCE — Upper Providence police are investigating allegations a Marple Newtown School District bus driver was “upskirting” teenage students he was taking to a local Catholic school.
Police were called to St. Mary Magdalen School Tuesday where a female teenage student told them her school bus driver, who was operating bus #302, had apparently been photographing or “upskirting” young female students’ private areas with his cell phone.
Police said a preliminary investigation confirmed the allegation and two additional teenage victims have been identified. All the parents of the children have been notified.
Detectives spoke with the District Attorney’s Special Victims Unit and a search warrant has been obtained for the bus drivers’ phone and a forensic evaluation of the phone is taking place.
On Wednesday morning, Marple Newtown School District Superintendent Tina Kane alerted families of the school district to the incident and said the welfare and safety of students entrusted to the district’s care are its paramount concern.
Kane said the driver is no longer employed by the district and is not permitted on school grounds.
“Although these allegations do not currently involve physical contact, they do include ‘upskirt’ style photographs taken on this driver’s personal cell phone,” Kane wrote. “The district is fully cooperating with law enforcement’s ongoing criminal investigation.”
Kane said if any students need to speak with school counselors they should contact the school principal.
Officials asked if residents learn of any information relevant to the case to contact Detective Sergeant George Moore at 610-566-8445.
On Thursday a spokeswoman for the county District Attorney’s office had no additional information and she said the investigation is ongoing.
In Pennsylvania when a district provides transportation to its public schools it must also provide transportation to nonprofit private schools within 10 miles of their boundary. | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/05/19/former-marple-newtown-school-district-bus-driver-investigated-for-upskirting-students/ | 2022-05-20T05:46:35Z | https://www.delcotimes.com/2022/05/19/former-marple-newtown-school-district-bus-driver-investigated-for-upskirting-students/ | false | 1 |
Compatible with different Electric Vehicle brands, promotes use of electric vehicles to contribute to Net Zero Emission targets
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 20 May 2022 - Shell Hong Kong Limited (“Shell”), Sino Group (“Sino”) and , Halo Energy Limited (“Halo”), an innovation and technology company in Hong Kong, are expanding the coverage of the electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations to encourage green transport and promote sustainable development in the region. Together, they have established the fastest universal EV charging station – Shell Recharge station in China Hong Kong City (“CHKC”). Compatible with different EV brands to cater to the increasing demands of users, Shell, Sino and Halo are working together to lead the industry and reduce carbon emissions in a proactive manner.(Starting from left) Mr. Martin Tsang, Founder and CEO of Halo Energy, Ms. Anne Yu, Managing Director of Shell Hong Kong Limited, Dr. David Chung, JP, Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology and Ms. Bella Chhoa, Director – Asset Management of Sino Group officiated the launch of Shell Recharge station in China Hong Kong City in a joint effort to help reduce carbon emission in a proactive manner in Hong Kong.
Dr. David Chung, JP (2nd from right), Under Secretary for Innovation and Technology visited the Shell Recharge station in CHKC carpark accompanied by Ms. Anne Yu (1st from left), Managing Director of Shell Hong Kong Limited, Ms. Bella Chhoa (2nd from left), Director – Asset Management of Sino Group and Mr. Martin Tsang (1st from right), Founder and CEO of Halo Energy and learnt how the three parties will promote EV usage and their combined efforts to help the region achieve net zero emissions.
Shell is staying true to its mission actualising sustainability initiatives to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. Shell’s brand-new facility at its Airport (Cargo Terminal) Station will commence operations in Q2 2022. The latest initiative marks Hong Kong’s first service station with both EV charging and conventional fuel facilities. Shell will become the first gasoline company in Hong Kong to offer a comprehensive EV charging network.
Rapid direct current (DC) chargers have a charging speed up to 300kW providing a speedy charging experience that could take as little as 15 minutes for a full charge, the fastest charging experience of its kind in Hong Kong.
Ms. Anne Yu, Managing Director of Shell Hong Kong Limited, said, “Shell will spare no effort to help the city achieve its aim of reducing carbon emissions to actualise low-carbon transport. We are privileged to work with Sino and Halo to establish the fastest EV charging station in the territory by consolidating every party’s asset thereby leading the industry towards supporting the HKSAR government’s plans for enhanced EV adoption. In the near term, we will collaborate with more car factories and stakeholders to provide more than 300 Shell Recharge charging points across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. More Shell Recharge Stations will be set up in Sino’s properties as well with an end-year target, providing EV drivers with different speeds of charging stations to speed up the transition towards net zero emissions in Hong Kong.
Ms. Bella Chhoa, Director – Asset Management of Sino Group remarked, “Sino Group holds a firm belief that innovation and technology are key to sustainability, and has been actively working with industry peers as well as start-ups with a focus on this aspect. We are pleased to collaborate with Shell and start-up company, Halo, on this project to work around challenges faced in the installation of additional charging facilities in existing buildings, through the adoption of the refined electric vehicle charging and management system. In alignment with the government’s key environmental protection policies, we believe that a comprehensive network of charging stations is crucial to promoting the wide adoption of electric vehicles. To this end, increasing electric vehicle charging stations will be a key focus of Sino Property Services in promoting sustainability in property management. In the future, we will further expand the coverage of electric vehicle charging stations at our properties. It is estimated that the number of chargers will see a substantial increase of 67% to over 1,400 in 2022, in an effort to encourage the use of green transportation in the wider community.”
Mr. Martin Tsang, CEO and Founder of Halo, shared, “Halo has always been proactively enhancing charging services through the integration of local science research and global charging technologies. We are proud to establish the fastest charging station in Hong Kong in the city’s core business area – China Hong Kong City. With as fast as 15 minutes to provide 200km mileage for latest model EVs, an equivalent of 3 back-and-forth journeys from CHKC and the Airport, the Station will address every resident’s concern about using an EV and they will now experience the convenience of fast-charging that is as convenient as filling up a gas tank. Furthermore, through Halo’s patent Load Management electric distribution system, EVs will be parked in a similar manner as at CHKC in order to achieve a large or even full EV charging coverage with a big saving on the power load for the charging station thereby building a real showcase of EV Ready building. ”

When Arsenal signed Nicolas Pepe from Lille in 2019 they were pretty happy with themselves.
Pepe was one of the most exciting players on the market in Europe three years ago, having contributed 23 goals and 12 assists in 41 Ligue 1 games for Lille the previous season. Barcelona and Napoli were interested in his services, but the Gunners were determined to get their man after dismissing Wilfried Zaha due to Crystal Palace’s £100million valuation.
The wheels were set in motion and, due to the money involved, technical director Edu and former head of football Raul Sanllehi kept the owners up to date during the club's pre-season tour of the US. Once rivals had been fended off, officials from Arsenal and Lille spent two days thrashing out the particulars of the deal.
The end result was the now-infamous £72m transfer fee and a five-year contract worth a reported £140,000 per week. Napoli reportedly offered £85m for Pepe, but the Ivory Coast international wanted to join Arsenal. The Gunners had spent £58m on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the previous year, but this deal still represented a landmark moment for the club.
Three years on, amid reports that Pepe wants to leave, it seems like a gamble that has not paid off. Pepe has 27 goals and 20 assists in 111 appearances for Arsenal, which is far from a disaster, but his most recent performances off the bench show a player devoid of confidence.
His current state – and Arsenal’s stance of being happy to accept a bid of around £25m – shows just how wrong things have gone. Back in October 2020 football.london were reporting that there was ‘widespread agreement’ among the Arsenal hierarchy that Pepe was ‘by far the best option’ due to his age and room to increase his market value over the coming years.
That has not happened and the Gunners are right to try and cut their losses. Marseille and Lyon have been tentatively linked with the 26-year-old, who might be given an opportunity to return to Ligue 1.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Has Nicolas Pepe been a flop at Arsenal, or should they keep the faith with him? Comment below.
If that happens then Arsenal should use the saga as an example of what can go wrong in the high stakes game of transfers. They can’t afford to worry about it now, with another crucial transfer window on the horizon.
Arsenal spent over £150million to sign six players last summer and need a similar recruitment drive this time around. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gone and Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah coming to the end of their contracts, strikers are a clear priority. Meanwhile, a new central midfielder, centre-back and full-back are all on the cards.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been linked with just about every available player in Europe over the past few weeks, but for now Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus and Leicester’s Youri Tielemans appear to be the most likely additions. Results on Sunday will go a long way to determining Arsenal’s pull, with Champions League qualification a major factor in the thinking of players.
Arsenal will probably have to attract players with the lure of the Europa League, meaning the top-tier talent may prove unavailable. But with the £72m lesson from Pepe still fresh in the mind that might not prove to be an entirely negative thing.

Canada reported its first two confirmed cases of monkeypox Thursday night, adding to the growing number of cases in Europe and North America of the contagious, but rarely deadly disease.
"Tonight, the Province of Quebec was notified that two samples received by the NML (National Microbiology Laboratory) have tested positive for monkeypox. These are the first two cases confirmed in Canada," the Public Health Agency of Canada said in a release.

Other suspected cases are under investigation in Montreal, Quebec's largest city, authorities said.
At a press conference Thursday morning, Montreal public health officials noted they had 17 suspected cases.
Several dozen suspected or confirmed monkeypox infections have been detected since the beginning of May in Europe and North America, leading to fears that the disease -- usually concentrated in West Africa -- may be spreading.
Also read: Why monkeypox cases are rising in Europe
Monkeypox is an uncommon disease that usually causes symptoms of fever, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and a chickenpox-like rash on the hands and face.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted on Wednesday that anyone "can spread monkeypox through contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores, or shared items (such as clothing and bedding) that have been contaminated with fluids or sores of a person with monkeypox," adding that household disinfectants can kill the virus on surfaces.

Today, the prestigious medical journal The Lancet revealed the terrifying extent of harms to human health caused by pollution. According to the study, at least nine million deaths were attributable to pollution in 2019, of which 92 percent occurred in low-income and middle-income countries. Of those, 6.67 million were attributable to air pollution.
Water pollution was responsible for another 1.36 million premature deaths, the report also found. Exposure to lead, a heavy metal highly toxic to humans when ingested or inhaled, contributed to 900,000 premature deaths, while toxic occupational hazards followed with 870,000 deaths. The figures are broadly consistent with The Lancet’s previous findings in 2018, concerning evidence of a lack of progress.
Human Rights Watch has also documented harms from pollution across the world. At the heart of these health crises are governments’ persistent failure to tackle the sources of pollution and protect the human right to health.
“For weeks, the smoke covers the sky,” a doctor in Brazil told us when we investigated the effect of forest fires on the health of people in the Amazon. Thousands of people in traditional communities living on the banks of one of the Amazon River’s largest tributaries depend on this doctor’s team to get health care when toxic air pollution from largely illegal fires attacks their lungs.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, older persons told Human Rights Watch about the brutal toll in their communities from toxic air pollution from the burning of coal for electricity that results during winter in some of the most polluted air in the world.
Whether the unsafe water many First Nations communities consumed in Canada, the lead-contaminated soil that migrants were forced to live on in Greece, or the global failure to assess health impacts of toxic chemicals in plastic products, governments around the world are not doing enough to address the silent killer that is pollution.
The Lancet study calls for an international panel of scientists on pollution, modeled after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), alongside increased funding for pollution control from governments and improved pollution monitoring and data collection. If world leaders act with the urgency these issues demand, they can reduce the enormous health burden of this major global threat. | https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/05/18/millions-dying-globally-because-unabated-pollution | 2022-05-20T05:51:30Z | https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/05/18/millions-dying-globally-because-unabated-pollution | false | 1 |
Brazil’s Gullane, one of Brazil’s biggest production powerhouses, has attached Fernanda Montenegro, Oscar-nominated for “Central Station,” to star in “The Hanged,” the anticipated new film from “Narcos” director Fernando Coimbra.
The news comes as Gullane unveiled in Cannes its first post-pandemic movie slate, led by two movies from director Cao Hamburger.
For “The Hanged,” Montenegro joins real-life daughter Fernanda Torres in the film.
Produced with Globo Filmes and Telecine, “The Hanged” is co-produced by Portugal’s Fado Filmes Paris Filmes distributes in Brazil.
” ‘The Hanged’ has been long delayed due to the pandemic but we are very honored to have two of the biggest acting stars, part of recent Brazilian cinema history,” said producer Caio Gullane.
Other pics on the Gullane slate include Hamburger’s “Paulo Freire: The Story of Revolution,” a drama about a successful adult literacy initiative launched by Freire in the humble city of Anglicos. But a U.S. government backed military coup shutters the Freire’s program, forcing him into exile where he writes a masterpiece, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed.”
Also from Hamburger, fiction drama “School Without Gates, produced with Globo Filmes, turns on real-life figure Braz Nogueira, who transforms Campos Salles School in São Paulo’s Heliopolis favela, and a whole community with it.
Gullane will also shoot, in the second half 2022, the drama “O cobrador de fraque,” produced with Portugal’s Ukbar and directed by Tomás Portella, helmer of Netflix action thriller “Carga Maxima,” which Gullane has just started re-shooting.
Gullane and Hamburger teamed on Oscar-shortlisted Berlin Competition contender “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation.” | https://variety.com/2022/film/global/gullane-fernanda-montenegro-coimbra-hamburger-1235271867/ | 2022-05-20T05:56:44Z | https://variety.com/2022/film/global/gullane-fernanda-montenegro-coimbra-hamburger-1235271867/ | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON — The Senate overwhelmingly approved a $40 billion infusion of military and economic aid for Ukraine and its allies on Thursday as both parties rallied behind America's latest, and quite possibly not last, financial salvo against Russia's invasion.
The 86-11 vote gave final congressional approval to the package, three weeks after President Joe Biden requested a smaller $33 billion version and after a lone Republican opponent delayed Senate passage for a week. Every voting Democrat and all but 11 Republicans backed the measure.
Biden's quick signature was certain as Russia's attack, which has mauled Ukraine's forces and cities, slogs into a fourth month with no obvious end ahead. That means more casualties and destruction in Ukraine, which has relied heavily on U.S. and Western assistance for its survival, especially advanced arms, with requests for more aid potentially looming.
"Help is on the way, really significant help. Help that could make sure that the Ukrainians are victorious," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., underscoring a goal that seemed nearly unthinkable when Russia launched its brutal assault in February.
The vote was a glaring exception to the partisan divisions that have hindered work on other issues under Biden and that promise to become only less bridgeable as November's elections for control of Congress draw closer. That includes Republicans blocking Democrats from including billions to combat the relentless pandemic in the measure, leaving their efforts to battle COVID-19 in limbo.
Last week the House approved the Ukraine bill 368-57, with all of those opposed Republicans. Though support in both chambers was unmistakably bipartisan, the GOP defections were noteworthy after Trump, still a potent force in the party, complained that such sums should first be targeted at domestic problems.
Schumer called it "beyond troubling" that Republicans were opposing the Ukraine assistance. "It appears more and more that MAGA Republicans are on the same soft-on-Putin playbook that we saw used by former President Trump," said Schumer, using the Make America Great Again acronym Democrats have been using to cast those Republicans as extremists.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a strong backer of the measure, addressed concerns by his GOP colleagues. He said Ukraine's defeat would jeopardize America's European trading partners, increase U.S. security costs there and embolden autocrats in China and elsewhere to grab territory in their regions.
"The most expensive and painful thing America could possibly do in the long run would be to stop investing in sovereignty, stability and deterrence before it's too late," McConnell said.
On Wednesday, Schumer said he was not confident this would be the final measure to help Ukraine. "They're doing the fighting, they're the ones getting killed, they're the ones struggling and suffering. The least we can do is give them the weaponry they need," he said.
The legislation contains around $24 billion for weapons, equipment and military financing for Ukraine, restoring Pentagon stocks of arms sent to the region and paying for U.S. reinforcements sent there. The rest includes economic aid to keep Zelenskyy's government functioning, food programs for countries that rely on Ukraine's diminished crop production, refugee assistance and funds for Kyiv to investigate Russian war crimes.
Congress approved an initial $13.6 billion measure in March. The combined price tag of nearly $54 billion exceeds what the U.S. spent on all its foreign and military aid in 2019, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who's long had non-interventionist views, used procedural tactics last week to thwart Schumer and McConnell from moving the measure through the Senate then, citing Ukraine's urgent need for the assistance.
In a personal criticism seen seldom on the Senate floor, Schumer on Wednesday called Paul's move "repugnant" and said the delay, with passage inevitable, would "strengthen Putin's hand." McConnell, who last Saturday met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a surprise visit to Kyiv, did not speak up in his fellow Kentucky Republican's defense.
In a brief interview, Paul responded that it would be "repugnant" to disparage "the democratic process" as embodied in Senate rules that he was using.
That spending concerned some Trump-friendly Republicans in Congress on Wednesday.
"It's, you know, the world's going to end if you don't do anything here," Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., who said he would oppose the Ukraine measure. "I'm more worried about the trust fund going broke" that finances Medicare and another that pays for Social Security.
Braun said he's long pushed for bills that pay for themselves. Asked why saving $40 billion in this instance outweighed stopping Russia, he said, "Number one, it's going to pass."
Another conservative, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that as costly as the measure is, the aid will protect U.S. national security and said, "If Putin wins, the consequences for America and American taxpayers will be hundreds of billions of dollars."
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, a moderate who has clashed with Trump, said in an interview that helping Ukraine defend itself "is about as smart an investment as we could possibly make." He added, "What does America First mean? It means that we should first be concerned about the interests of America. I totally agree." | https://www.decaturdaily.com/news/other_news/national/congress-oks-latest-40b-to-help-ukraine-repulse-russians/article_ff8928a3-3297-5677-a623-90d50f4a6e89.html | 2022-05-20T05:57:23Z | https://www.decaturdaily.com/news/other_news/national/congress-oks-latest-40b-to-help-ukraine-repulse-russians/article_ff8928a3-3297-5677-a623-90d50f4a6e89.html | false | 37 |

A Japanese student, who came to Bengaluru in 2019 to learn English, stole a chair from the office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) for a fascinating reason. The 31-year-old student named Hirotoshi Tanaka wants the police to book him for the offence so that he could stay in India for longer and seek justice in a 2019 case quashed by the Karnataka High Court, he told The Indian Express. A case had been filed against Tanaka after he assaulted the principal of an English coaching centre he was studying in. Tanaka told the publication that on November 13, 2019, he got into a heated argument with the principal as he was allegedly told to work for the centre’s promotion. Tanaka added that he pushed and shouted at the principal who then allegedly threatened him that he wouldn’t be able to stay in Bengaluru anymore considering his behaviour. Hearing this, Tanaka lost his cool and ended up hitting the principal, he told The Indian Express.
After the principal filed a complaint, Tanaka was summoned and told to write an apology by the police. “Since the case pertained to an illegal job, I told him (the principal) to return the tuition fee, failing which I will take it up with FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office)," said Tanaka.
According to Tanaka, the police told him that they will set up a meeting at the RT Nagar police station. However, he claimed that police arrested him as he waited for the principal. Tanaka said he was allegedly put behind bars and his phone was confiscated.
Tanaka shared he was released in December 2019 and did not have any money to even arrange his meals. “I did not have money and slept in parks," he told the publication. While out on bail, Tanaka highlighted that he was allegedly asked for a bribe of Rs 8,500 by a police officer from the RT police station in exchange for his confiscated bag. The Japanese also claimed that the owner of the coaching station had allegedly bribed the police before they arrested him.
An aggrieved Tanaka approached the state human rights panel seeking an investigation into the matter after his case was quashed by the high court on November 2, 2020. Last month, Tanaka also took the matter to the human rights commission and a hearing was scheduled. However, it had to be postponed after the police did not send a report on the case.
With Tanaka’s visa set to expire on February 28, he found a way to stay in India and pursue his case against the officers. The Japanese stole a chair from the ACP’s office to get booked and ensure justice in the case before returning to his country.
But, the police informed that they didn’t file a case against him for the petty offence as he is already in violation of the Passport Act and Foreigners Act. They said that the FRRO had asked him to return by February 28 but he is adamant on staying and wants to get arrested.

The market is neither bearish nor bullish today as some coins keep going down while others are forming reversal patterns.
Top coins by CoinMarketCap
BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly rising, going up by less than 1% over the last 24 hours.
BTC/USD chart by TradingView
Even though yesterday's candle closes below the $29,000 mark, bulls are trying to return the rate to the previous levels. If they manage to do that and return the price to the zone of $29,500-$30,000, the correction may continue to the area of $31,000 until the end of the week.
Bitcoin is trading at $29.615 at press time.
XRP/USD
XRP could not follow the rise of Bitcoin (BTC), going down by 1.17% over the last day.
XRP/USD chart by TradingView
XRP has bounced off the $0.40 mark, which means that buyers are ready to fight for this level. If the trading volume increases and the correction continues close to the $0.45 mark, there are chances to see the trend change within the next few days.
XRP is trading at $0.4125 at press time.
BNB/USD
Binance Coin (BNB) is the biggest gainer from the list today as the native exchange coin has risen by 2.13%.
BNB/USD chart by TradingView
Binance Coin (BNB) is again trading above the psychological $300 level against the declining trading volume. Currently, one needs to pay close attention to the daily closure. If buyers can keep the price near $300, the test of the resistance at $336 might happen shortly.
BNB is trading at $299.8 at press time.
ADA/USD
Unlike Binance Coin (BNB), the rate of Cardano (ADA) is declining by 1.66%.

Assessing the possibility of a 40% upswing for Cardano
Cardano price is in a spot favorable for the bulls and short-term traders as a rally might be in the works. A minor retracement will allow interested buyers an opportunity to accumulate ADA at a discount before catalyzing an explosive uptrend.
How to trade the next 20% upswing in Binance Coin price
Binance Coin price is on a recovery rally and shows promise of a further uptrend. Adding credence to this run-up is the price inefficiency that is likely to propel BNB higher. Binance Coin price crashed to $205 on May 13 as the crypto markets crumbled.
Bitcoin price congestion warns of a 25% breakout
Bitcoin price sideways action signals smart money involvement. A jaw-dropping rally could occur in the very near future. Bitcoin price action is currently distorting severely compared to the previous consolidations within the decline.
Cardano price is still on pace to retest $0.40, but bears shouldn't get too excited
Cardano price is preparing for a retest of $0.40 before a massive countertrend rally occurs. Cardano price is on professional traders' urgent watchlist as the digital asset could enter a mid-term bottom in the $0.45 zone.
Bitcoin: Multiple scenarios arrive at the same bearish conclusion
Bitcoin price shows interesting setups from multiple time frames that hint at a confluence. This convergence occurs for the short-term bullish outlook as well as the macro bearish scenario for BTC. | https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/can-the-majority-of-coins-bounce-back-by-the-end-of-the-month-202205200543 | 2022-05-20T06:21:47Z | https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/can-the-majority-of-coins-bounce-back-by-the-end-of-the-month-202205200543 | false | 1 |

Webb - world's most powerful telescope completes first test to track moving object in deep space
The James Webb Space Telescope, the world's largest and most powerful space-based observatory, recently completed the first test to track a moving object, which verified that the telescope could conduct moving target science.
Commenting on this development, Heidi Hammel, Webb interdisciplinary scientist for solar system observations, said, "The Webb team has already used an asteroid within our solar system to run engineering tests of the 'moving target' (MT) capability. The engineering team tested this capability on a small asteroid in the Main Belt: 6481 Tenzing, named after Tenzing Norgay, the famous Tibetan mountain guide who was one of the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest. "
"Since the objects were all virtually identical otherwise, picking the one with a name linked to success seemed like a no-brainer," she added.
Webb is currently moving through the final phases of commissioning its science instruments and as it proceeds through this phase, the mission team will test other objects moving at various speeds to verify we can study objects with the telescope that move throughout the solar system, NASA said in a statement on Thursday.
Tracking a package? So did Webb! 📦To prepare for upcoming solar system observations, Webb successfully completed its first test to track a moving object! Learn more about how Webb will explore the solar system to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/ElP0vNOG5q📸: @NASAHubble pic.twitter.com/AS81qbiuGe
— NASA Webb Telescope (@NASAWebb) May 19, 2022
Led by NASA, the Webb mission was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana on December 25, 2021. The space-based observatory will solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.
While moving through space, the James Webb Space Telescope will constantly find distant stars and galaxies and point at them with extreme precision to acquire images and spectra. The Webb team also plans to observe planets and their satellites, asteroids, and comets in our solar system, which move across the background stars of our galaxy. The recent test was conducted to verify the observatory's capabilities to track these objects with sufficient precision to obtain images and spectra. | https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/2044365-webb---worlds-most-powerful-telescope-completes-first-test-to-track-moving-object-in-deep-space | 2022-05-20T06:27:47Z | https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/2044365-webb---worlds-most-powerful-telescope-completes-first-test-to-track-moving-object-in-deep-space | false | 1 |
IAEA Director General Planning To Visit Zaporizhzhia NPP In Ukraine Soon - Reports
Umer Jamshaid Published May 20, 2022 | 11:20 AM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th May, 2022) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said he is planning to visit the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (NPP) in southern Ukraine in the nearest future, Japanese media reported on Friday.
Grossi announced the visit during the meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo on Friday.
Japanese news agency Kyodo cited Grossi as telling Kishida that it is important to ensure the NPP's safety. The prime minister, for his part, told Grossi that Tokyo "highly regards the IAEA's efforts."
On Thursday, Grossi held talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, during which the parties agreed to cooperate on securing safety for NPPs in Ukraine. Hayashi pledged $2.1 million in assistance to the IAEA to provide the necessary equipment and dispatch IAEA experts, as cited by Kyodo.
In April, Grossi already led a group of IAEA inspectors and technicians to the Chernobyl NPP in northern Ukraine to intensify efforts in preventing the threat of a nuclear accident during the Russian military operation.
During the visit, IAEA specialists restored the remote transfer of the safeguards data from its monitoring systems installed at the plant and recovered data from the monitoring systems.
On March 4, Russian forces took full control over the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Russian troops and Ukrainian soldiers of the NPP guard battalion reached an agreement to jointly secure the plant. Russian specialists provide advisory assistance to Ukrainian plant personnel, who are in charge of the management and the operation of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
Russia launched its special military operation on February 24 after the breakaway Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics applied for help in fending off Ukrainian provocations. The international community has since been voicing concerns over the safety of the plants and possible nuclear incidents. However, Russian, Ukrainian, and IAEA specialists repeatedly stressed that the safety of the plants is ensured and background radiation remains within normal levels.

The Texas border town of El Paso is considering whether to declare a state of emergency because of the immigration crisis, as it turned out on Thursday.
The statement, which the city council is scheduled to vote on next week, would allow the city to tap into state and federal funding for the border crisis.
“We are extremely grateful to all of our partners, including NGOs, county, state and federal leaders, who understand the extraordinary collective lift that is required,” Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino told Fox News.
The number of migrants trying to cross the border has skyrocketed since President Joe Biden took office.
It’s expected to rise further if Biden repeals the Title 42 public health order that allowed for quick deportations under COVID-19 emergency response.
A tent city has been built in Eagle Pass, Texas as authorities prepare for an influx.
In El Paso, Ruben Garcia, the city’s immigrant housing manager, said families would end up on the streets if additional space wasn’t made soon.
Haitian families cross the border into El Paso, Texas as seen from Ciudad Juarez May 17, 2022 in Mexico. The city prepares for the impact of Title 42’s repeal
Asylum-seeking migrants from Mexico and Central America walk near the San Ysidro Port of Entry border crossing with the United States in Tijuana, Mexico, March 5.
In late April, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas released a 20-page memo outlining a six-part strategy to deal with the onslaught of migrants after Title 42 ends. Expanding processing capacity for migrants, such as building tent structures, is a pillar
“When Title 42 is lifted, you’re going to see a wave that will clearly outstrip what NGOs can do,” Garcia told the New York Post.
An “if” remains as a Trump-appointed judge in Louisiana hears arguments for and against lifting the measure.
States led by Arizona, Missouri and Louisiana allege the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention violated the Administrative Procedures Act because they failed to provide a notice and comment deadline for the Title 42 repeal plan. The law also prohibits steps deemed “arbitrary” and capricious.’
States claim the Biden administration failed to account for the additional cost of taking in more migrants.
The Biden administration emphasized in its arguments that the CDC has the authority to end Title 42 because it is a public health order, not an immigration order.
Robert Summerhays has announced he will rule on Title 42 before May 23, the day the Biden administration planned to end it. He has already issued an injunction to keep Title 42 in effect until he offers his final decision.
US Border Patrol agents stopped nearly 202,000 attempts by migrants to enter the country illegally last month, a small drop from March, according to the latest figures.
That represents a monthly decline of four percent, although the balance sheet keeps the totals at a 22-year high.
With numbers at record levels, the White House is under intense pressure to delay easing restrictions.
The White House is now looking at ways to buy time to avoid such a massive influx of migrants, Axios said – including delaying the end of the controversial public health order.
Officials in the Biden administration are said to have tried to convince Democratic allies that keeping Title 42 would actually allow for lower immigration enforcement, but the White House is also facing criticism of the vulnerable’s overall perceived unpreparedness for the looming crisis House and Senate suspended Democrats.
A sudden onslaught of immigrants crossing the border would also likely hurt those Democrats’ chances in the November midterm elections extremely.
But it seems whichever path Biden chooses, he’s sure to face criticism from both sides.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is due to meet next Monday and is likely to give the president the impression that a crucial portion of his party’s demographic base will be greatly disappointed if Title 42 is renewed.
WHAT IS TITLE 42?
The Title 42 border restrictions are a public health order that allowed US authorities to turn back most migrants, including people seeking asylum from persecution.
They were introduced during the pandemic and are currently expiring on May 23rd.
But the number of migrants now trying to cross the US-Mexico border is at its highest in two decades – with an even larger number expected to arrive once the pandemic-era order is lifted.
A spate of illegal border crossings has encouraged some Republicans to make the border and immigration a campaign issue. US authorities stopped migrants at the Mexico border more than 234,000 times in April, a 22-year high.
Many of them were repeat offenders because Title 42 has no legal or criminal penalties.
US authorities say they are preparing for up to 18,000 daily crossings, up from the daily average of about 7,100 in March.
Title 42 power has been applied unevenly across nationalities.
Mexico has agreed to take back migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico – and in limited numbers from Cuba and Nicaragua. High costs, strained diplomatic relations and other considerations make it difficult to deport migrants from other countries who need to be flown home.
Title 42 is one of two key surviving Trump-era policies to prevent asylum at the border.
The little-used public health order that gives border officials the ability to quickly expel almost anyone found at the southwest border.
Last month the US Supreme Court heard arguments over whether the government should allow the government to force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for hearings before a US immigration court. This case arose before another Trump-appointed judge in Amarillo, Texas. | https://shepherdgazette.com/el-paso-plans-state-of-emergency-while-biden-administration-waits-for-judge-to-end-title-42/ | 2022-05-20T06:38:18Z | https://shepherdgazette.com/el-paso-plans-state-of-emergency-while-biden-administration-waits-for-judge-to-end-title-42/ | false | 1 |
During an interview with CNBC, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, Class B (NYSE: BRK.B), disclosed that he recently purchased $600 million worth of Apple Inc’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares after the company recorded a drop in its stocks.
Buffett further Buffett stated that he halted the purchase following an increase in stock prices, although he admitted that he would continue purchasing if the prices remained the same.
The parties will not disclose the surrounding nature of the purchase before the report is publicised to the SEC. The publication is set to be published sometime in May 2022; in Buffet’s 2021 annual correspondence, the CEO declared that Apple was among the influential organisations that increased his revenue. As an investor, Buffet stated that Apple was among the crucial beneficiaries of his investments, thus leading to success.
The market ranks Apple as the most successful company worldwide
The global market ranks the company as the most successful company globally, with some estimated earnings of $2.3 trillion. Other organisations that follow Apple’s global earnings include Microsoft Cooperation (NASDAQ: MSFT), estimated at $2.2 trillion, and recently Saudi Arabia Aramco’s industry rating at $2 trillion in revenue. Aramco’s surge in revenue indicates a moment in history as the organisation is the first state-possessed oil mogul to arrive at that trademark.
The recent surge in energy fees is due to the declining donations in natural gases, including coal, crude, and gas, among others. The reduction led to the loss in various countries, including the U.S., thus reducing the country’s production rate of fossil energies, among other activities. However, the global necessity for improving the economy following the conclusion of the pandemic led to less distribution of energy resources.
The company is planning substantial updates to the iPhone 14 Pro
The company’s latest project, the iPhone 14 Pro plan, indicates Apple’s discernment to create any substantial updates to the phone as it possesses the previous entities. Unfortunately, a recent publication revealed that the recently launched phones would miss Apple’s 120Hz ProMotion exhibit technology. Apple, however, doubled down on the discovery, thus leading to various negative reviews by the consumers. | https://www.journaltranscript.com/2022/05/warren-buffet-purchased-600-million-worth-of-shares-from-apple-inc-nasdaq-aapl/ | 2022-05-20T06:52:47Z | https://www.journaltranscript.com/2022/05/warren-buffet-purchased-600-million-worth-of-shares-from-apple-inc-nasdaq-aapl/ | false | 1 |

Guatemala reappoints criticized attorney general to 2nd term
Guatemala’s president reappointed to a second term Monday his attorney general who the U.S. government said is involved “in significant corruption,” disappointing many Guatemalans and foreign governments critical of her backsliding on corruption investigation s.
President Alejandro Giammattei said Consuelo Porras deserved another four years leading the office.
“I am convinced that the Attorney General's Office must be an independent institution,” the president said, adding that the process of her selection was transparent.
“It is a sovereign decision," he added, in apparent reference to international pressure.
Porras, standing with Giammattei for the announcement, said she had strengthened the institution, ensuring it acted without bias or ideology.
“In the past it was being used for political and ideological ends," Porras said.
Critics have accused her of the opposite: protecting political figures, including the president, from corruption investigations.
Hours after her reappointment, the U.S. State Department announced that it was designating Porras for “her involvement in significant corruption.” The authority under the State Department 2022 appropriations act allows the government to bar foreign government officials and their immediate family from entry into the U.S.
“During her tenure, Porras repeatedly obstructed and undermined anticorruption investigations in Guatemala to protect her political allies and gain undue political favor,” the statement said. It said she had ordered prosecutors to ignore cases based on political considerations and fired prosecutors investigating corruption cases.
Porras’ husband was also designated, making him ineligible to enter the United States. The State Department said it was actively considering additional designations.
“Attorney General Porras’s corrupt acts undermine democracy in Guatemala,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said via Twitter. “Today’s designation sends a strong signal that the U.S. stands with all Guatemalans to encourage accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law.”
Earlier Monday, Porras, 68, defended her record during her annual report. She said that under her leadership the office had enforced the country’s laws and sought justice for all without exceptions.
Porras was originally appointed in 2018 by then President Jimmy Morales. This is the first time Guatemala has given its top prosecutor a second consecutive term.
In August 2019, a bit more than a year after Porras’ appointment, Morales ended the United Nations anti-corruption mission while he was under investigation. Porras, at least publicly, did not push back in defense of the mission.
Over 12 years, the mission had supported the Special Prosecutors Office Against Impunity in dismantling dozens of criminal networks while at the same time building their capacity to handle complex corruption cases.
During her term, more than 20 prosecutors, judges and magistrates have gone into exile, fearful they will be prosecuted in retaliation for their work on corruption cases.
Last year, she fired Juan Francisco Sandoval, who led the Special Prosecutors Office Against Impunity and who had been applauded for his work. He fled the country.
The U.S. government protested publicly, labelled Porras an undemocratic actor undermining efforts against corruption and pulled her visa. A State Department official said at the time that Sandoval’s removal “contributes to the perception that there is a systematic effort in Guatemala to weaken those who fight against corruption.”
On Monday, Porras described her office’s work against corruption as precedent-setting, but offered no explanation on how.
Porras has been a frequent target of street protests in recent months expressing a general dissatisfaction with the government and calling for her ouster.
Juan Pappier, Human Rights Watch senior researcher for the Americas division, said Monday that Porras had blocked corruption investigations and pursued meritless cases against journalists, judges and prosecutors.
“This decision is the death blow to the fight against impunity in Guatemala,” Pappier said. “If the international community does not take urgent multilateral measures, democracy and the rule of law in Guatemala will be at great risk during her new term as Attorney General.”
Porras' reappointment promises to raise tensions between the Biden administration and a key ally in controlling the region's migration flows. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605447606776/guatemala-reappoints-criticized-attorney-general-to-2nd-term | 2022-05-20T07:10:46Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605447606776/guatemala-reappoints-criticized-attorney-general-to-2nd-term | false | 5 |

One person died and the other four were taken to local hospitals in conditions ranging from serious to critical, Chicago Sun-Times reported. Police did not release their names or ages.
No additional details about the circumstances behind the shooting or any suspects has been released. An investigation is ongoing. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Police-1-dead-4-wounded-in-Chicago-shooting-17186070.php | 2022-05-20T07:16:00Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Police-1-dead-4-wounded-in-Chicago-shooting-17186070.php | false | null |
DENVER (AP) — David Perron scored twice as St. Louis switched up its line combinations, Jordan Binnington made 30 saves and the Blues beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 on Thursday night to tie their second-round series at a game apiece.
Jordan Kyrou added a goal and Brandon Saad sealed it with an empty-netter for the Blues as they rode another stellar performance from Binnington. The Blues goaltender stopped 51 shots during a 3-2 overtime loss in Game 1.
Binnington's flashing his 2019 form, when as a rookie he led the Blues to a Stanley Cup title with a 16-10 mark and a 2.46 goals-against average.
Gabriel Landeskog scored on a power play early in the third for Colorado to make it 2-1. But Perron answered right back with his seventh goal of these playoffs.
Darcy Kuemper stopped 28 shots. Two of the goals he allowed were redirected off the stick of a defenseman.
Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche found open ice a scarce commodity against a physical, hard-checking and more determined Blues squad.
Game 3 is Saturday in St. Louis.
Among the line changes by the Blues was pairing Pavel Buchnevich with Ryan O’Reilly and Perron.
“Move some guys around to see if we can create some balance throughout our lines,” Blues coach Craig Berube explained.
All the line switches worked. Buchnevich finished with two assists.
The Blues had a 5-on-3 advantage late in the second period when Devon Toews was called for tripping and Valeri Nichushkin for goaltender interference after slamming into Binnington, whose stick went flying.
Perron made them pay when his liner deflected off the stick of Josh Manson — who scored the OT winner in Game 1 — and past Kuemper.
Earlier in the second, Kyrou's shot deflected off the stick of defenseman Samuel Girard and over the shoulder of Kuemper.
Colorado defenseman Cale Makar was shaken up late in the first period when he fell to the ice and hit his leg on the post, knocking the goal off its moorings. He gingerly skated to the bench, but was back on the ice after intermission.
The Blues mixed up their line combinations for Game 2, but it was the defensemen generating most of the early shots. Of the 14 shots they had in the first period, eight were from the defense.
Colorado has been ousted from the playoffs the last three seasons in the second round.
FIVE CLUB
With his second goal of the series, Kyrou joins the list of Blues players who now have five or more goals in this postseason. He joins O’Reilly (six), Perron and Vladimir Tarasenko (five), giving the team the most scorers with five or more in the playoffs.
O'Reilly's run of a goal in five straight games was halted.
MIC'D UP MANSON
Manson was wearing a microphone in Game 1 when he scored his overtime goal. It captured all the screams as he and his teammates celebrated. One of the first to greet him was Girard.
“I actually didn’t know,” Girard said of the Manson's microphone.

The driver of a Tesla operating on autopilot must stand trial for a crash that killed two people in a Los Angeles suburb, a judge ruled Thursday.
There is enough evidence to try Kevin George Aziz Riad, 27, on two counts of vehicular manslaughter, a Los Angeles County judge said.
A judge ruled Thursday that a trial can proceed against a Tesla Model S driver in a 2019 crash that left two people dead in Gardena.
It is believed to be the first felony prosecution in the U.S. against a driver using a partially automated driving system.
Police said the Tesla Model S left a freeway and ran a red light in Gardena and was doing 74 mph (119 kph) when it smashed into a Honda Civic at an intersection on Dec. 29, 2019.
The crash killed Gilberto Alcazar Lopez, 40, of Rancho Dominguez and Maria Guadalupe Nieves-Lopez, 39, of Lynwood, who were in the Civic and were on their first date that night, relatives told the Orange County Register.
Riad and a woman in the Tesla were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Prosecutors said the Tesla’s Autosteer and Traffic Aware Cruise Control were active. A Tesla engineer testified that sensors indicated Riad had a hand on the steering wheel but crash data showed no brakes were applied in the six minutes before the crash.
A police officer testified Thursday that several traffic signs warning motorists to slow down were posted near the end of the freeway.
Tesla has said that Autopilot and a more sophisticated “Full Self-Driving” system cannot drive themselves and that drivers must pay attention and be ready to react at anytime.
The misuse of Autopilot, which can control steering, speed and braking, has occurred on numerous occasions and is the subject of investigations by two federal agencies. The filing of charges in the California crash could serve notice to drivers who use systems like Autopilot that they cannot rely on them to control vehicles.
The criminal charges aren’t the first involving an automated driving system, but they are the first to involve a widely used driver technology. Authorities in Arizona filed a charge of negligent homicide in 2020 against a driver Uber had hired to take part in the testing of a fully autonomous vehicle on public roads. The Uber vehicle, an SUV with the human backup driver on board, struck and killed a pedestrian.
Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday confirmed that it had sent a special crash investigation team to determine whether a Tesla involved in a May 12 crash in Newport Beach that killed three people was operating on a partially automated driving system. | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/driver-in-deadly-tesla-autopilot-crash-to-stand-trial/ | 2022-05-20T07:25:44Z | https://ktla.com/news/local-news/driver-in-deadly-tesla-autopilot-crash-to-stand-trial/ | false | 37 |
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Joaquin Niemann spent his youth growing up in Chile trying to follow in the footsteps of Mito Pereira, who didn't exactly make it easy the way he kept winning prestigious amateur golf events in the U.S. and Scotland and points in between.
Niemann sure did a nice job following Pereira's path in the opening round of the PGA Championship.
Two of a record six Latin American players in the field, Neimann and Pereira each shot rounds of 2-under 70 at Southern Hills, leaving them just three shots back of leader Rory McIlroy heading into Friday's second round.
“I remember when I was probably 12, 13, and he was probably a couple years older, and he would win everything in Chile,” Niemann recalled. “He would come to the States and play the Junior World, and I think he won that, too. For me and all my friends that we, like, grew up playing together, seeing Mito, it was like, ‘Oh, there's Mito.' He was impressive.”
Pereira stepped away from the game for a while before coming back to it, and now he's playing better than ever. He made four birdies during his round Thursday, including three in a span of five holes on the back side.
“It’s nice to see on the first page two Chilean flags,” Niemann said, “and a Mexican flag, too.”
Niemann may not believe it, but Pereira admitted Thursday that he always knew who was chasing him growing up.
“Yeah, I think it was mutual. We both kept feeding each other,” he said of Niemann. “Obviously he got here first. I turned pro first, I got to the Latin American, Korn Ferry (tours) first, so it was like we were all trying to feed each other. And then when he got up here and just played amazing golf, you just see how close it is to get here.”
There is a rich history of Latin American players in professional golf, but few have contended in major championships. And only two, both from Argentina, have won: Roberto De Vicenzo by two shots over Jack Nicklaus in the 1967 British Open at Hoylake, and Angel Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open in 2007 and the Masters two years later.
Yet the latest crop could soon become a force in the game's biggest events.
As soon as this weekend, in fact.
Abraham Ancer of Mexico, who has made the cut in all four majors and tied for eighth in last year's PGA, also got off to a strong start with 67 on Thursday. That left him in a tie for fourth behind McIlroy, Will Zalatoris and Tom Hoge.
“I felt like I played really, really well for maybe like, a 5-under round,” Ancer said, “but I'm never going to be asking too much after that. I know this is a tough golf course and it can go the other way quickly.”
It did for countryman Carlos Ortiz, who opened with 79. But otherwise, all the Latin Americans fared well.
Sebastian Munoz of Colombia opened with 74, same as Tiger Woods, and Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas shot 73, leaving both ahead of PGA Tour player of the year Patrick Cantlay and four-time major winner Brooks Koepka.
“We're basically a team,” Pereira said of the Latin American contingent. “We come from another part of the world, so we come here and we just support each other. Try to sometimes share housing. So we have a really good relationship.”
Ancer has won a World Golf Championship event, Vegas is a three-time winner on tour, and Ortiz and Munoz also have wins to their credit. Niemann might be the hottest of them all, winning the Genesis Invitational at Riviera in February and making the cut at the Masters to go along with his 2019 title at The Greenbrier.
“Definitely, golf in Latin America is getting bigger,” he said. "I think everybody in South America is on the same page. I think everybody, all the young players seeing us up here playing on TV every week, I think it motivates a lot of the kids.
“We didn’t have that in Chile back in the day,” Niemann said. “We never see a professional from Chile playing in Chile. We obviously have Camilo (Villegas), Jhonny from Latin America, but now I think having players from all over the continent in South America is really good for golf in our region.”

M&C strikes deal with Fifteen in rebuff to biggest investor
LONDON (Reuters) -The independent directors of M&C Saatchi have agreed a deal to sell the British advertising company to consultancy Next Fifteen Communications, saying it offered a superior outcome to a bid from its biggest shareholder.
M&C, one of the biggest names in British advertising, has been fighting off an offer from Vin Murria and rejected a deal worth 254 million pounds ($317 million) this week.
It said on Friday the deal with Fifteen was worth 310 million pounds.
In a joint statement, the two companies said the deal would help establish a much stronger competitor in digital marketing and consulting, bringing together blue-chip clients and an array of services and providing more firepower to invest.
M&C said its senior staff fully backed the deal. Murria's AdvancedadvT investment vehicle said it was considering its options and noted that it owned 22.3% of M&C's stock.
"M&C Saatchi is synonymous with creativity and strategy, whereas Next Fifteen has built a reputation around its technology and data driven offering," said Tim Dyson, CEO of Next Fifteen. "This makes for a great combination."
($1 = 0.8010 pounds)

Background to service development
Logistics in China have been heavily impacted by the spread of COVID-19 infections as prolonged lockdowns in Shanghai have resulted in airport and seaport congestion, and trucking in the East China area connecting to Shanghai's suburbs continues to face difficulties.
To maintain customers' supply chains, NX China has been offering, in addition to its existing rail transport service on the China Railway Express, an intermodal transport service that combines rail transport in China with maritime transport along two routes it has developed -- (1) a northern route using Qingdao and Lianyungang ports and (2) a southern route using Ningbo and Wenzhou ports -- to avoid the congestion at Shanghai Port and Pudong Airport.
NX China has also developed a Caspian Sea route for transport from China to various parts of Europe via Kazakhstan to supplement the aforementioned intermodal transport service. This new service can be used as a BCP transport mode for Europe-bound cargo that does not pass through Russia.

Starting a blog can be an exciting project that stimulates your creativity and even makes you money. However, there are already more than 600 million blogs online. Therefore, you might be looking for blog niche examples to help you focus your site on a particular topic.
Fortunately, there are many ways to take a general blogging idea and make it your own. When you hone in on a specific target audience within a larger niche such as fitness or travel, you can make unique content that provides value and ranks highly.
In this post, we’ll explore five blog niche examples and why you should consider creating content in one of these topic areas. Let’s get started!
1. Home fitness
Fitness is an enormous industry, both online and in-person. It spans everything from physical gyms to home workouts and even fitness accreditation.
More specifically, focusing on home fitness can be an incredibly lucrative blogging niche. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, this niche has grown exponentially and is predicted to be worth $14.74 billion by 2028. Since more people work from home and many gyms have capacity restrictions, the demand for at-home workouts and equipment has skyrocketed.
You can even focus on a sub-niche within home fitness to reach a more specific audience. For example, Nerd Fitness provides themed workouts for self-proclaimed “nerds”:
You can adopt a similar approach by targeting your fitness content toward specific age, gender, or interest group. Then, you can design specialty workouts, show people how to build home gyms, give general advice, and promote affiliate products.
2. DIY and crafts
DIY and crafts are two topic areas within an overarching niche. You might find them appealing if you’re creative or you like to work with your hands. It’s not a bad option, since the arts and crafts industry is currently worth around $45 billion.
There are so many subsets within the craft niche. Therefore, it’s worth focusing your efforts on a particular style. That way, you can create in-depth guides and articles with specialized techniques instead of generalized content. Some blogs specialize in skills such as sewing or crocheting, while others prioritize specific materials.
For instance, Upcycle That teaches readers how to turn trash into treasure with projects that use scrap materials to create beautiful works of art:
DIY and crafts can be an intensive blogging niche, because many readers will want to see step-by-step instructions with illustrative images. However, the investment can be worth it if you build your readership and stand out in your sub-niche.
3. Accessible travel
Travel is another prolific industry worth approximately $4.26 trillion worldwide. It’s also a great blogging niche for monetization. That’s because you can make a profit from brand sponsorships, paid trips, and affiliate recommendations.
However, it’s also a highly competitive blogging market. Therefore, you’re unlikely to gain traction within the niche by writing general travel guides and promoting products.
Fortunately, there are many sub-niches within travel blogging that you might have better luck with. One of those is accessible travel, which focuses on advice for travelers with specific needs or limitations.
For instance, Wheel the World concentrates on accessible travel tips for people in wheelchairs:
There are also similar niches, such as blogs for LGBT travelers, people with visa restrictions due to their nationality, and travelers with mental illnesses. By zeroing in on these micro-niches, you can appeal to smaller but more invested audiences.
4. Sustainable living
Sustainable living is another broad topic. It focuses on environmentally-friendly living that minimizes pollution, prioritizes harmony with the earth, and encourages reduced consumption.
This may be a wise choice, since sustainability is a rapidly growing area of interest. In fact, Google’s Consumer Insight data found that 82 percent of consumers think about sustainability while shopping.
Since you can put a sustainability lens on most things, you can easily focus on sub-niches. Going Zero Waste, for example, promotes sustainable practices such as recycling, eco-friendly practices, and reducing your carbon footprint:
Alternatively, you could focus on other micro-niches, such as growing food in urban environments, making your own beauty products, or reviewing ethical brands.
This niche offers multiple opportunities for reviewing products and making sales through affiliate links. Moreover, sustainable products tend to be more expensive than their mass-produced counterparts. Therefore, you can quickly make a solid profit from these commissions.
5. Personal finance
Finally, personal finance is another blog niche example that could be worth pursuing. It teaches readers how to better manage their money, make investments, save, and achieve their financial goals.
Personal finance is a highly lucrative niche, forecast to be worth $1.69 billion by 2030. Furthermore, since money is an essential tool for most people, there is a diverse readership that you can appeal to with business blogging.
For example, the Clever Girl Finance blog focuses on women-specific tips for budgeting, saving, investing, and making more money:
You can appeal to your own audience by focusing on people with limited finances, specific locations, or investment styles. You might even create and sell online courses and e-books to supplement your blogging income.
Keep in mind that you’ll need some industry or personal experience to make a name in this blogging niche. You’ll also want to ensure that your advice is factual and comes with a disclaimer if you’re not a finance professional. Otherwise, you could put yourself at the risk of lawsuits or readers simply not trusting your content.
Conclusion
Starting a blog presents an excellent opportunity to reach new audiences and make money from your website. However, you’ll first need to choose a topic area to shape your content. Therefore, it’s worth researching the top blog niche examples for inspiration.
To recap, here are five of the best unique blog niche examples:
- Home fitness
- DIY and crafts
- Accessible travel
- Sustainable living
- Personal finance

How Iwobi and Doucoure inspired Everton against Crystal Palace
Alex Iwobi and Abdoulaye Doucoure stressed their importance to Everton in Thursday’s 3-2 comeback Premier League win over Crystal Palace.
The Nigeria and Mali internationals delivered eye-catching displays as the Toffees sealed English top-flight survival.
Although Frank Lampard’s men made a false start at Goodison Park, they made sure that the Eagles returned home empty-handed.

After 21 minutes, Jean-Philippe Mateta fired the visitors ahead while Jordan Ayew doubled the advantage nine minutes before the half-time break.
Despite looking destined for defeat, Michael Keane reduced the deficit for Everton six minutes before the hour mark, before Richarlison restored parity for the hosts in the 75th minute.
Demarai Gray set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the winner with five minutes left on the clock to send the home fans into wild jubilation.
Iwobi played from start to finish and statistics showed that he impressed against Patrick Vieira’s Eagles.
The former Arsenal man recorded one shot, one cross, 77 touches, and 48 passes with a passing accuracy of 79.2 per cent.
Also, he completed three dribbles, contributed one tackle, and one interception while he was fouled on three occasions.
For Doucoure, he accounted for one key pass, 51 passes and a passing accuracy of 84.3 per cent.
Defensively, he made five total tackles and one interception.
He was a cautioned by referee Anthony Taylor in the 82nd minute, notwithstanding, he was a thorn in the flesh of Crystal Palace's attacking players.
"It is one of the greatest moments of my footballing life and career," Lampard told BBC Sport after the full-time whistle.
"I have been very fortunate to have amazing times, especially at Chelsea as a player and a coach.
"But when you feel the feelings and desperation of what relegation brings to the table, it is different.
"You need to dig in. You lose games, you fight to do something and then you lose another game.
"This club is special and I am proud to be manager of Everton on this night."
As for Crystal Palace, they miss the chance to move into the top half. After accruing 45 points from 37 matches, they stay in 13th ahead of their last game against Manchester United. | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/how-iwobi-and-doucoure-inspired-everton-against-crystal/blt271f619fb87fcaa8 | 2022-05-20T07:44:23Z | https://www.goal.com/en-bh/news/how-iwobi-and-doucoure-inspired-everton-against-crystal/blt271f619fb87fcaa8 | false | 15 |

Thiruvananthapuram: A man, who had gone missing after landing at Cochin airport from Saudi Arabia on May 15, died mysteriously at a hospital, police said on Friday.
Abdul Jaleel,42, from Agali village in Palakkad district worked as a driver in Saudi Arabia.
Jaleel had asked his wife and family not to receive him at the airport as he would reach Perinthalmanna in Malappuram district with a friend.
“He wanted to be picked up from Perinthalmanna. When the family reached the designated spot, his wife got a call from him asking them to return as he would be able to come only the next day. The next day again they got a call saying that he might be late making the family suspicious. A complaint was then filed with the Agali police station,” said this relative.
On May 16 evening, Jaleel spoke to his wife and asked her to withdraw the case if they have filed one.
Then, there was a complete silence from his side. Later, his wife got a call from an unknown number informing hat Jaleel is admitted to a hospital in Perinthalmanna.
The family rushed to the hospital only to find Jaleel with injuries all over the body. He passed away late on Thursday night.
The hospital authorities also informed the police that the person who brought Jaleel to the hospital disappeared after admitting him .
A probe has been initiated by the Perinthalmanna police who claimes to have zeroed down on the person who brought Jaleel to the hospital.
With this, they hope to solve the mysterious turn of events ever since he landed at Cochin airport on May 15. | https://telanganatoday.com/keralite-who-arrived-from-saudi-arabia-dies-mysteriously | 2022-05-20T07:57:30Z | https://telanganatoday.com/keralite-who-arrived-from-saudi-arabia-dies-mysteriously | true | 4 |
Watch out for the wunderkind...again.
Collin Morikawa may have the best attitude of any of the reigning PGA Tour superstars. Here’s a kid – and I choose that word with precision, because 25 is still remarkably young for anyone, and because of the youthful exuberance Morikawa exudes – who won the PGA Championship in his first appearance in 2020. Then just 14 months later he won his first Open Championship, also in his first appearance.
For those of you scoring at home, while a small handful of players in history won a golf major in their first appearance, Morikawa is the only player in history to turn that trick twice. Moreover, only Jordan Spieth was younger (by mere days) when he won his second major. Morikawa also added a 3-0-1 record at the Ryder Cup, won a World Golf Championships event and rightfully captured the Golf Writers Association of America Player of the Year award.
That’s a promising start.
It’s no accident. Collin Morikawa is meticulous, unflappable and indefatigable; he’s the worst type of opponent you want hanging around a leader board on Championship Sunday. He’ll never tire, he won’t crack under pressure, and he will push you to your breaking point...perhaps even beyond.
He might very well will you to death.
Maybe he’ll do it with thunder, like the back-to-back-to-back birdies to close the front nine on Sunday at Royal St. George’s, powering Morikawa to a lead he never relinquished. His closing bogey-free 66 capped off a week where he posted all four rounds in the 60s for a 265 aggregate, one shot shy of tying the major championship record of 264 co-owned by Henrik Stenson and Brooks Koepka.
Perhaps he’ll zap everyone with lightning, as he did on Sunday at the 2020 PGA, first pitching in for birdie at the 14th to break out of a logjam of nine players, including five major champions. Then he slammed the door shut on everyone with an eagle at the par-4 16th after driving the green.
On top of it all, he does it with an aw-shucks attitude off the course. Call him a smiling executioner.
“Let’s just go out to win,” Morikawa energetically enthused, beaming ear to ear at his pre-PGA Championship presser. “We’re here to win.”
At first blush, one might chalk that up to the general excitement that any golfer feels at a major, more so when that major is contested at a sterling celebrated venue, like Tulsa’s Southern Hills is. This is the eighth major to be contested here: five PGA Championships (1970, 1976, 1994, 2007 and 2022) versus three U.S. Opens (1958, 1977 and 2001).
But this is not the same Southern Hills that hosted those championships. Architect Gil Hanse restored the original Perry Maxwell look and feel but also added significant length, strengthening the holes formerly regarded as the weakest. Yet those changes seemed to suit Morikawa. He told the assembled media that he liked the golf course, and he declared himself ready, especially mentally.
“Out here you're probably going to have mid to long irons on a couple of the par 4s depending on what the weather is going to be like and how firm or how soft the fairways are going to be,” he offered. “But for me, that's my game, so I always tailor to that and I always feel like any course I show up at, you're always going to be hitting irons and you're always going to be feeling like you can play well.”
That’s good analysis, but more importantly, Morikawa was just getting started turning the presser into an interesting lesson on golf metaphysics.
“What's the difference between when you win events and when you don't win?” he asked rhetorically. “Sometimes it's just a mentality type of thing. You show up to a tournament and you have this kind of feeling. Some weeks you show up, and it's just kind of smooth sailing and you're just ready to win, and sometimes you just need to tell yourself that and hopefully you can translate that into good golf.”
Hear that everybody? You just show up and win. It’s that easy.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a super-secret laboratory miles beneath the Earth’s crust Bryson DeChambeau is geeking out with Jimmy Neutron about how undersea currents and phases of the moons of Saturn affect the break on putts on 15.
But therein lies the great dichotomy of golf; just as there’s a lot of ways to get the ball in the hole, there are just as many ways for a golfer to get into the right mindset to get the ball in the hole. Morikawa said it himself: He is a feel player. He has to trust it. New way of lining up putts? He’s going to trust it. New grip on the putter? He’s going to trust it. Play the course over and over again to get ready? Not really. Instead, he spent time listening to the stories of the Senior Open players who tackled the newly-renovated Southern Hills last year to pick up their nuances. Chill, dude; it’s the California way.
Strange, isn’t it? Or counter-intuitive at least, that such a meticulous sport like golf -- one where the margin between victory and defeat (and millions of dollars) is one super-thin groove of a golf club -- could be conquered so simplistically, not to mention so totally by one of the Tour’s youngest stars.
Then, of course, the interview took a whacky turn. When asked about his killer instinct in the clutch and his cold-blooded ability to finish in the crucible of a major championship, the kid gave us a laugher that will have Morikawa’s media coach doing a face palm and scheduling a meeting for some practice.
“I'm kind of like a silent hunter,” he surmised curiously. "I don't really like go and ask and just like chirp and bother these guys. I kind of just watch from afar, which sounds really creepy when I say it.”
We know what Morikawa was trying to say, even though he did not say it: He’s going to be relentless. On the course it’s a grind from hole one though 18. So why waste all the mental energy getting to the starting gate?
“For me you go back to the house, you come out here, play golf, and I think at the beginning of the year I was trying to do a lot -- I was trying to do too much in my prep Monday through Wednesday even at regular events," he confided. I was just doing too much, and that's not me. I like to be in and out. I like to come here, do my quick practice, get out and call it a day. I'd rather sit on my couch at home and relax with the cat and the dog and caddie. That's what I've kind of realized since the Masters is just stick to being me.”
Can anyone argue with his results thus far? Of course not. Someone hand him a rake and an Easter egg. That might be all he needs. | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/jayflemma/2022/05/19/the-zen-of-collin-morikawa-126162/ | 2022-05-20T07:59:34Z | https://thegolfnewsnet.com/jayflemma/2022/05/19/the-zen-of-collin-morikawa-126162/ | true | 1 |
History Channel’s American Pickers want to see your antique oddities
The History Channel documentary makers will be in New York state in August and want to hear from people with unique antiques they can explore.
The American Pickers plan to film episodes of the History Channel television series throughout New York in August 2022. The documentary series follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are intrigued by sizeable, unique collections and exploring the stories behind them.
As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, they want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.
The Pickers have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them.
The American Pickers producers say they continue to take the pandemic very seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols for safe filming outlined by the state and CDC. Nevertheless, the American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and want to explore hidden treasure.
If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send us your name, phone number, location, and description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (646) 493-2184 facebook: @GotAPickAMERICAN | https://www.thephoto-news.com/home/history-channel-s-american-pickers-want-to-see-your-antique-oddities-AB2074741 | 2022-05-20T08:00:37Z | https://www.thephoto-news.com/home/history-channel-s-american-pickers-want-to-see-your-antique-oddities-AB2074741 | true | 7 |
US Air Force Announces Successful Test of 'Game-Changing' Hypersonic Weapon
The Air Force announced the successful test of a hypersonic missile that can travel more than five times the speed of sound, according to a Monday news release.
A Boeing B-52H Stratofortress launched the AGM-183 AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon off the coast of California on Saturday, the Air Force said.
The missile is designed to strike long-distant targets in what the Air Force denotes as “contested environments,” or heavily defended areas.
“This was a major accomplishment by the ARRW team, for the weapons enterprise, and our Air Force,” Brig. Gen. Heath A. Collins said.
“The successful flight demonstrates the weapon’s ability to reach and withstand operational hypersonic speeds, collect crucial data for use in further flight tests, and validate safe separation from the aircraft to deliver the glide body and warhead to designated targets from significant standoff distances,” Lockheed Martin said in its news release on the test.

This is a major step toward delivering this capability to the @usairforce.
— Lockheed Martin News (@lmnews) May 17, 2022
China and Russia also have programs to develop hypersonic weapons.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, described a Chinese test last October as a “Sputnik moment.”
Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, claimed Russian forces used hypersonic missiles to destroy a Ukrainian ammunition warehouse during the invasion of Ukraine in March, according to The New York Times.
“Our highly-skilled team made history on this first air-launched hypersonic weapon,” said Lt. Col. Michael Jungquist, commander of the 419th Flight Test Squadron.
“We’re doing everything we can to get this game-changing weapon to the warfighter as soon as possible,” Jungquist said.
The missile is expected to reach an early operational capability in September, according to Air Force Technology, a military aerospace news site.
An ARRW has the capability to hit targets up to 1,000 miles away in as few as 10 minutes, according to a 2020 report by Air Force Magazine.

Gabby Otchere Darko
Gabby Otchere Darko, a key member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has declared that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-One Addo’s District One Factory (1D1F) initiative is the largest factory roll-out in Ghana.
He claimed that Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was only able to accomplish a fraction of what President Akufo-Addo 1D1F had accomplished.
“This is the largest factory rollout in the history of Ghana and the Gold Coast,” he said in a tweet.
In his 9 years since independence, not even Nkrumah managed a fraction of this.
Even better, everything is privately owned and financed with government credit.”
Gabby went on to say that the program is the largest factory roll-out in Ghana and the Gold Coast’s history.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia said Thursday it will lift a monthlong ban on palm oil export, citing improvements in the supply and domestic price of bulk cooking oil.
President Joko Widodo said exports will resume on Monday.
Indonesia and Malaysia are the world’s largest exporters of palm oil, which plays an important role in their economies. They account for 85% of global palm oil production.
Pressure on the global supply of cooking oil has increased because of the war in Ukraine, which accounts for nearly half of the world’s sunflower oil on top of the 25% from Russia.
Palm oil prices went up 200% or higher after Indonesia banned the export of cooking oil and its raw materials to reduce local shortages and hold down skyrocketing prices.
Widodo said in a news conference that his government was planning to lift the ban if the price of bulk cooking oil reached 14,000 rupiah ($0.96) per liter. He said it still has not reached the target but he expects it to drop further in the next few weeks as more palm oil becomes available.
“Based on the current supply and price of cooking oil and considering that there are 17 million workers in the palm oil industry, both working farmers and other supporting staff, I have decided that the export of cooking oil will reopen on Monday, May 23,” Widodo said.
He said that the national demand for bulk cooking oil is approximately 194,000 tons per month. Before the export ban, the supply reached 64,500 tons, and since then, it more than tripled to over 211,000 tons per month.
He said that law enforcement agencies are investigating allegations of violations and fraud in the distribution and production of cooking oil. | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/indonesia-lifts-ban-on-cooking-oil-export-as-supply-improves/ | 2022-05-20T08:06:59Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/indonesia-lifts-ban-on-cooking-oil-export-as-supply-improves/ | false | 30 |
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines has established three coast guard outposts on three islands in the disputed South China Sea to monitor ship movements and promote safety, coast guard officials said Friday, amid increasing maritime tensions with China.
The move reinforced the presence of Filipino troops on the islands in the hotly contested Spratly archipelago and will likely be frowned upon by Beijing, which has claimed the disputed waterway virtually in its entirety.
China has protested any new constructions in the region although it has transformed seven disputed reefs into military-guarded island bases in past years, alarming rival claimant states and the United States, which has no territorial claims but deploys its Navy and Air Force for patrols to ensure freedom of navigation and overflight in the contested waters.
Coast guard Admiral Artemio Abu said the outposts on the islands, which were established this week, would be manned by coast guard personnel and equipped with radio communications that could report any incident to the coast guard headquarters in Manila. Abu did not specify how many personnel would be stationed at the new outposts but said it’s the largest deployment of coast guard personnel in the disputed region so far.
“Through these command observation posts, we improve our capabilities in promoting maritime safety, maritime search and rescue, and marine environmental protection,” Abu said in a statement.
The three islands have been occupied by Filipino troops for years and are internationally known as West York and Nanshan islands and Northeast Cay.
Last week the coast guard installed five navigational buoys carrying Philippine flags just off the three islands and near Thitu island, the largest of nine islands and islets Filipino forces have occupied in the Spratlys. The Philippines considers much of the Spratlys as part of its western Palawan province.
The ”sovereign markers” flash lights at night to guide fishermen and ships and “communicate that the said vicinity waters are considered special protected zones” where mining and oil exploration are prohibited to preserve their rich natural resources, Abu said without elaborating.
Aside from China and the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei have had overlapping territorial claims in the busy waterway, which many regard as a potential flashpoint in Asia.
China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes four member states involved in the territorial disputes, have resumed talks this year on a proposed “Code of Conduct,” or a nonaggression pact aimed at preventing armed confrontations in the region. But the negotiations have faced years of delay, partly due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Philippines-establishes-coast-guard-outposts-in-17186167.php | 2022-05-20T08:09:58Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Philippines-establishes-coast-guard-outposts-in-17186167.php | true | 13 |
We don’t see this often, but we should: Nine Brooklyn public housing developments where more than 6,000 people live will Friday celebrate rehabbed kitchens and bathrooms and windows and floors, elevators, lobbies, fire systems, community spaces, playgrounds and boiler rooms — courtesy of the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration/Permanent Affordability Commitment Together program, a mouthful that’s shorthanded as RAD-PACT. Opponents who dismiss it as unacceptable privatization should tour the overhauled facilities, then ask themselves whether their demagoguery and ideological rigidity is worth blocking progress for some of the neediest and most neglected New Yorkers.
The program began a decade ago, and it lets agencies choose to get federal funding through the Section 8 voucher financing rather than Section 9, which means they can convert to private management, under long-term leases, while remaining public housing in every way that matters. The developments will still be owned by NYCHA; tenants will continue to be covered by federal laws that among other things cap rent at a third of a household’s income.
Unfortunately, Mayor Bloomberg stalled on RAD at the end of his third term, then Mayor de Blasio continued with the sluggish implementation; 166 housing authorities converted about 50,000 units to the RAD program before NYCHA inked its first deal under the program, on the way to the last administration finally ramping up plans to renovate 62,000 units this way.
Friday’s ribbon-cutting, the culmination of a deal struck in February 2020, is the result of the city’s single biggest RAD-PACT plan to date, $434 million worth of work on more than 2,600 apartments and common areas by four development companies. If the improvements are well maintained, families at nine public housing sites will finally be able to live without being plagued daily by mold, rodents, leaks, broken-down elevators and all the other indignities, large and small, that have become synonymous with New York City public housing. Not that this should prevent other creative solutions, like a sensible NYCHA trust.
It doesn’t have to be this way anymore. The only thing NYCHA residents have to fear is fear itself. | https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-rad-brooklyn-developments-20220520-f4frkfosirgylncigwp57jxkca-story.html | 2022-05-20T08:13:23Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-rad-brooklyn-developments-20220520-f4frkfosirgylncigwp57jxkca-story.html | false | 1 |
Image tables monster mineral sands resource
Image Resources has revealed a more than ten-fold increase in its total mineral sand stocks in an updated mineral resource estimate following its acquisition of the McCalls project near Gingin in WA. The company’s holding now stands at 6.4 billion tonnes after securing the asset in March in a deal worth $12 million.
McCalls boasts a 5.8 billion tonne mineral resource going 1.4 per cent total heavy minerals or “THM” with over 1.6 billion tonnes sitting in the JORC-compliant indicated category.
The project includes roughly 84 million tonnes of heavy minerals with 90 per cent valuable heavy minerals in its assemblage, a collective total of 7.1 per cent zircon plus rutile and 82.5 per cent ilmenite plus leucoxene in the total heavy minerals averaging 63 per cent titanium dioxide. The latter is potentially saleable as chloride grade ilmenite.
Following the announcement of its bumper new figures, the company says it is currently capable of punching out around 0.3 million tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate per annum, meaning it could soon bolster its numbers by year end.
McCalls is comprised of two separate deposits: McCalls and Mindarra Springs. Intriguingly, both resources sit in close proximity to the company’s Boonanarring project and have helped to boost the prospects of its mineral sands play.
In what will also bode well for the project’s prospect an ilmenite characterisation study by its previous owner Sheffield Resources Limited suggests the operation contained of up to 66 percent cent titanium dioxide, indicating its appropriateness for chloride processing or as a source for synthetic rutile production.
According to Image, despite the McCalls and Mindarra Springs deposits’ modest grades the thickness, continuous character and low stripping ratios could permit the zones to be mined using a lower-cost hydraulic approach.
Management says the new project’s sheer size allows for the production of 500Mt subsets within its 5.8Bt resource, that will be part of a future feasibility assessment.
The subgroups would also be chosen to have greater heavy mineral grades and lower strip ratios.
Image is also exploring the possibility of assessing full mineral separation and the creation of a new synthetic rutile manufacturing facility employing cutting-edge robotic technology and green hydrogen.

Boris Johnson has lived up to his 'greased piglet' nickname, says LEO MCKINSTRY
THE investigation by the Metropolitan Police into Partygate has ended, not in a bang, but a whimper.
Partygate: Dan Wootton and Amy Nickell clash over results
For months, the Government's enemies had hoped that the probe would lead to the humiliating exit of the Prime Minister amid criminals convictions and public disgrace. Yet those eager yearnings were dashed yesterday. The police's inquires drew to an anticlimactic conclusion without the imposition of any further fines for Boris Johnson beyond the penalty he had earlier received for briefly attending his own birthday celebration in Downing Street.
Johnson is the big winner. His capacity for survival is remarkable.
His Tory rival David Cameron once called him "the greased piglet" because of his ability to wriggle out of the most precarious situations, and once again he has lived up to his nickname.
His detractors now speculate that he could still be brought down by the imminent publication of the full report by senior civil servant Sue Gray into lockdown breaches at No 10.
So far, because of the police investigation, only a shortened version has been made public and there are claims that the uncensored document could inflict terminal damage on the PM.
But that is more wishful thinking by his foes.
Now that the police are refusing to take any further action, it is highly unlikely that, whatever Sue Gray says, many Tory MPs will be sending in letters of no confidence.
The big losers are both the police and the Labour opposition.The Met has run up a £460,000 bill while 12 detectives took five months to scrutinise Downing Street.
At a time of deep concerns about violent crime, this smacks of a spectacular waste of time and resources, a failing compounded by inconsistencies in the award of fines and the public notification of penalties.
Nor does Sir Keir Starmer come out well.
Given that he is under investigation by Durham Police for a potential breach of lockdown rules, his continued fulminations against Johnson now sound hypocritical and out of proportion.
But that is not to deny that the Prime Minister has been badly tarnished by the scandal, which exposed a culture of chaos and disdain for the public in No 10.
Johnson has been weakened and distracted at a time when he needs all his political strength to cope with the future of Northern Ireland, the war in Ukraine and, above all, the gathering economic storm.
As inflation soars, he has yet to show a firm grip amid Cabinet divisions on everything from a windfall tax to an emergency budget.Those are the issues on which he should be judged, not birthday cakes in his office. As Bill Clinton said in the 1992 campaign that won him the presidency, "It's the economy, stupid." | https://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/1613263/boris-johnson-met-police-probe-partygate-david-cameron-piglet-conservative-party | 2022-05-20T08:14:21Z | https://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/1613263/boris-johnson-met-police-probe-partygate-david-cameron-piglet-conservative-party | true | 1 |
Planned Parenthood Panics as State Passes the Most Pro-Life Law in the Nation
Oklahoma’s Legislature gave final approval Thursday to an anti-abortion bill that providers say will be the most pro-life law in the nation once the governor signs it.
The bill is part of an aggressive push in Republican-led states across the country to protect the unborn.
It comes on the heels of a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that suggests justices are considering weakening or overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that applied constitutional protections to abortion.
The bill by Collinsville Republican Rep. Wendi Stearman would prohibit all abortions except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement.
“Is our goal to defend the right to life or isn’t it?” Stearman asked her colleagues.
Tulsa Women’s Clinic has STOPPED providing abortions when a heartbeat is detected!
My bill HB4327 will prohibit ALL abortions! FROM CONCEPTION!
We need the Oklahoma House to hear this bill next week so we can accept Senate amendments and send it to Governor Stitt! pic.twitter.com/Y5mFXqEaV2
— Wendi Stearman (@WendiStearman) May 7, 2022
The legislation then passed on a 73-16 vote mostly along party lines.
The bill is one of at least three pro-life bills sent this year to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who has indicated he’ll sign it.
Another bill that prohibits abortion after a heartbeat can be detected in the unborn child, which experts say is about six weeks, already has taken effect and has already dramatically curtailed the practice in Oklahoma.
Another bill set to take effect this summer would make it a felony to perform an abortion, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. That bill contains no exceptions for rape or incest.
“At this point, we are preparing for the most restrictive environment politicians can create: a complete ban on abortion with likely no exceptions,” said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which stopped providing abortions at two of its Oklahoma clinics after the six-week ban took effect this month.
“It’s the worst-case scenario for abortion care in the state of Oklahoma,” she said.
Woohoo!! Best news ever!!! 🙏🏽 now babies will be born and not die!

Like a Texas law passed last year, the Oklahoma bill would allow private citizens to sue abortion providers or anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion.
After the U.S. Supreme Court allowed that mechanism to remain in place, other Republican-led states sought to copy Texas’ ban.
Idaho’s governor signed the first copycat measure in March, although it has been temporarily blocked by the state’s Supreme Court.
After Texas passed its bill last year, there was a dramatic reduction in the number of abortions performed in that state, with many women going to Oklahoma and other surrounding states for the procedure.

There are legal challenges pending in Oklahoma to both the bill to criminalize abortion and the six-week Texas ban, but the courts have not acted to stop either measure.

Russia LIES exposed: Putin sabotages Ukraine aid with sick claim refugees burnt host home
A VIDEO online claiming to show a Russian flag being set on fire by a Ukrainian refugee causing their host home to burst into flames is a fake according to fact-checking sources.
In the video, which was falsely attributed to the popular German tabloid newspaper Bild, the perpetrators of the flag burning set up a bizarre “lightning bolt” Tesla device to ignite the outstretched flag which soon catches fire. As the flames spread across the flag, and it comes loose from its housing, the situation rapidly loses control and the resulting inferno takes charge. The fake incident is alleged to have happened in Wulfen in central Germany.
False reports suggested the Ukrainian refugees were taken in by Germans as the war rages on in their home country.
According to a post on YouTube of the false incident, the refugees performed the stunt to gain hype and likes on their social media channel as the original footage is shown in a format suitable for most mobile phone video and picture apps.
After the flag "catches fire", footage can then be seen of a house totally engulfed in flames as the fire spreads.
Huge plumes of black smoke can be seen billowing out of the house as onlookers film the incident.
A tearful woman by the name of Natalie Michalski appears in falsified footage after the fire had been put out.
Standing in the charred remains of the home, the camera pans across the damage, with burned-out items strewn across the floor and worktops.
However, according to fact-checking website corrective.org, the entire video is fake Russian propaganda.
It states: "The supposed headline reads: 'Ukrainian refugees wanted to burn a Russian flag but ended up burning down the house they were staying in.'
"However, the screenshot is a fake, the alleged article does not exist.
"We did not find the alleged article either on the Bild newspaper page or with a Google search."
The newspaper's deputy editor-in-chief, Timo Lokoschat, described the screenshot as a fake on Twitter: "BILD never wrote this report. A complete fake.”

Putin horror as Mariupol road signs replaced with Russian
According to reports by the UN, around 14 million Ukrainian people have fled their homes since the start of the war.
Many have moved to safer parts of the country, in and around the city of Lviv.
Figures in April showed nearly 5 million people had left Ukraine altogether, with the large majority headed for Poland.
In fact, some 3.5 million Ukrainian have ended up in neighbouring Poland.
The EU has granted Ukrainians the right to live and work in the bloc across its 27 member nations for up to three years.
Yet as the war slowly changes format and location, reports by the United Nations suggest up to 1.8 million refugees have in fact returned home as their areas and homes were clear of Russian troops.
In the United Kingdom, growing numbers of Ukrainian refugees are finding themselves homeless after falling out with host families.
With many Britons rushing to house refugees in return for Government incentives, the initial programme appeared to be a popular way of helping the victims of the war-torn country.
However, many were soon being asked to leave homes with a day’s notice as clashes of personalities started to occur.

Many refugees have now been referred to housing shelters after hosts cited the cost of living issues, personality and culture clashes, hosts not setting house rules, misunderstandings and language barriers.
Community leaders have suggested although many hosts meant well in the gesture, many did not understand the responsibility and quotidian demands of hosting a family who in all likelihood had suffered highly traumatic events prior to their arrival.
Iryna Terlecky, a board member of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, told The Guardian: “Our community is seeing these cases frequently and our perception is that they’re increasing.
“We are finding that sponsorship relationships are breaking down – in spite of the very clear desire of people to help,”
Has Putin shown his true colours with yet more fake news? Should Ukrainian refugees be allowed to settle in the UK with more ease? Let us know your thoughts and views by CLICKING HERE and joining the debate in our comments section below - Every Voice Matters!
Northern Ireland has also seen Ukrainian refugees left in the lurch over their status.
Ireland was the first country in the European Union to waive visa requirements for Ukrainians and, to date, nearly 30,000 have sought shelter there.
The UK, which includes Northern Ireland, has instead opened sponsorship and family reunion schemes, which have been criticised for delays and complexity.
Unable to wait for visas, many refugees came to Northern Ireland via the open land border from the Republic – as many as four in five, according to Finance Minister Conor Murphy.
With the transition across the border, officials are not able to determine who arrived, when they arrived and where from, making dealing with their status an impossible task. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1613262/ukraine-news-refugee-home-germany-burned-russian-flag-fire | 2022-05-20T08:16:28Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1613262/ukraine-news-refugee-home-germany-burned-russian-flag-fire | true | 1 |
STOCKHOLM, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lipidor AB (publ) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: LIPI) announces that half of the patients have now been enrolled in the Phase III study of AKP02 skin spray for mild to moderate psoriasis, with the last patient expected to begin treatment in June 2022. Topline results from the Phase III study are expected during the third quarter of 2022.
On 26 January, Lipidor announced that the first psoriasis patients had been enrolled in the company's Phase III clinical trial of AKP02 cutaneous spray. The observer-blind and placebo-controlled Phase III study included a total of 294 patients. The aim of the study is to show a good therapeutic effect for treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis on both body and scalp. The Phase III study also measures quality of life, and patient satisfaction, to demonstrate the associated benefits of AKP02 that may be significant for future commercialization. The trial is fully funded with existing cash and is conducted by Cadila Pharmaceuticals, which successfully completed the Phase III study with its predecessor AKP01.
With the current patient recruitment rate, the last patient is expected to commence treatment in June and topline results from the Phase III study with AKP02 are expected in the third quarter of 2022. Lipidor and the company's commercial partner RELIFE, a company in the Menarini group, are already working together to ensure that the two topical drug candidates, AKP01 and AKP02, become available for treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis in Europe, the CIS countries and Turkey. Conditions for new commercial agreements are continuously investigated and there is great interest from the market.
The psoriasis candidate AKP02 combines calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate and is based on Lipidor's patented AKVANO® technology. Lipidor has elected to compare the sprayable drug candidate AKP02 with Enstilar, which is a commonly prescribed foam preparation for topical treatment of psoriasis. AKP02 contains the same combination of active substances as Enstilar.
Positive results from the Phase III study with Lipidor's drug candidate AKP01, which is based on calcipotriol alone, show that AKVANO® technology works well for drugs for treatment of psoriasis. The preclinical studies with AKP02 also show promising results. The goal of AKP02 is to offer a patient-friendly, spray-based treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis.
"It's gratifying to see that participating clinics in the Phase III study are recruiting patients at a good pace," says Ola Holmlund, Lipidor CEO. "We look forward to presenting results from the study during the third quarter of 2022."

Julietta Suzuki's Meitantei Kо̄ko wa Yūutsu Manga Ends in June
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
This year's 12th issue of Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine revealed on Friday that Julietta Suzuki's Meitantei Kо̄ko wa Yūutsu (Detective Kо̄ko is Melancholy) manga will end in the magazine's next issue on June 3.
The manga is set during the height of the Showa era, and centers on a little girl named Kōko who is in training to become a detective. She is hired by a notable family to find out who sent a death threat to the family's son Inugami, who currently resides in a dormitory in Tokyo. To this end, she moves in to the dormitory to begin her investigation, but she is bad at cooking and even worse at figuring out where to start with the case.
Suzuki published a one-shot for the manga in Hana to Yume January 2020, before serializing it in the magazine in September 2020. Hakusensha published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on February 18.
Suzuki launched the Kamisama Kiss manga in Hana to Yume in 2008, and ended the series in May 2016 with 25 volumes. Viz Media has published the manga in English.
Kamisama Kiss inspired two anime seasons. Funimation streamed both seasons as they aired in Japan, and also released both seasons on home video. The manga also inspired a series of four original anime DVDs (OADs) that shipped with the manga's 22nd-25th compiled volumes. A "volume 25.5," an official fanbook, shipped in December 2016. The fanbook bundled a DVD with an original anime and a 32-page epilogue manga.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP)The first Battle of Alberta in the playoffs in 31 years didn’t disappoint.
The Calgary Flames got a hat trick from Matthew Tkachuk to outlast the Edmonton Oilers 9-6 and grab Game 1 of the second round series Wednesday night after a blistering game that saw the most goals in a postseason game in 29 years.
”Strange game,” Flames coach Darryl Sutter said. ”We scored on our first two shots and there were probably six different games out there. Take the win. Move on.”
Blake Coleman scored twice for the Flames. Rasmus Andersson and Andrew Mangiapane each had a goal and two assists, and Elias Lindholm and Brett Ritchie also scored. Jacob Markstrom stopped 22 shots for the win.
Zach Hyman scored twice for Edmonton, and Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists for his fourth straight multi-point game in the playoffs. McDavid leads the league’s postseason points race with five goals and 13 assists. Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists and Kailer Yamamoto and Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers.
Edmonton starter Mike Smith was pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on 10 shots. Mikko Koskinen made 32 saves in relief.
”We fought back and made it a game, but we can’t feel good about that in any way because we scored six goals in game and found a way to not win it,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said.
The winner of the best-of-seven series advances to the Western Conference final. Game 2 is Friday at the Saddledome before the series heads to Edmonton for Sunday’s Game 3 and Tuesday’s Game 4.
It was the highest scoring postseason game since Los Angeles beat Calgary 9-6 in the 1993 division semifinals.
In a matchup of potent offenses, the Flames scored twice in a 25-second span in the first minute and led 3-0 by 6:05 when Smith was replaced by Koskinen. Calgary’s two goals in the opening 51 seconds was the fastest two goals to start an NHL playoff game, and electrified a sea of red dotted with Oilers orange and blue at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
”Couldn’t ask for a better start, but you’ve got to have that killer mindset and you’ve got to be able to put teams down and keep pushing them down,” Coleman said. ”We made some mental mistakes in the second period, got away from our checking game a little bit. The good news is it’s correctable.
”That’s not our style of game, 9-6. It’s great that we got the Game 1 win but there’s a lot to dissect here.”
The Oilers did not go quietly, however. The Flames held a 40-18 edge in shots after two periods, but led 6-5 heading to the third.
Yamamoto briefly tied the game at 1:28 of the final period, putting McDavid’s rebound over Markstrom’s outstretched pad.
Andersson regained the lead for Calgary at 2:57 after getting a pass from Mangiapane from behind the net. Tkachuk made it 8-6 at 8:55 with his second of the night and scored into an empty net to complete his first postseason hat trick.
Hats rained down onto the Saddledome ice and chants of ”we want 10” goals soon followed.
”Not good. Not good at all,” Tkachuk said. ”Probably our worst game of the playoffs so far. We got super-lucky. … That’s just not the recipe for success. Maybe we win this one, but we’re not going to win many more if we’re going to play like that.”
Coleman struck 45 seconds into the second period and again at 6:10 to push the Flames’ lead to 5-1.
Bouchard converted McDavid’s pass at 7:10, and Tkachuk batted in a rebound for a power-play goal at 8:24 after Edmonton’s Zack Kassian was sent off for roughing.
Hyman scored at 9:38 and 14:06 to pull the Oilers to 6-4. Draisaitl made it a one-goal game with 39 seconds left in the second when he beat Markstrom far side on an odd-man rush with McDavid.
Lindholm converted Calgary’s first shot of the game into a goal 26 seconds in, and Backlund fed an undefended Mangiapane in the slot to beat Smith from close range at 51 seconds.
”If you go down 2-0 before it hits the 19-minute mark on the clock, it’s obviously not a good start,” Draisaitl said. ”Clearly we weren’t ready and it’s tough to play catch up for the whole night. … We can all be a lot better away from the puck, and that starts with myself.”
Ritchie scored his first career playoff goal at 6:05 to make it 3-0, and McDavid tucked the puck between Markstrom’s pads at 7:41 to get Edmonton on the scoreboard.
INJURY
The Flames were missing top shutdown defenseman Chris Tanev a second straight playoff game. He was injured in Game 6 of Calgary’s first-round series against Dallas. Tanev skated in both Tuesday’s practice and in Wednesday’s morning skate, but did not dress for Game 1.
NOTES: With his 94th career playoff win as a coach, Darryl Sutter joined Pat Quinn ranked No. 6 all-time. … With three assists in Game 1, Johnny Gaudreau joined Jarome Iginla and Martin Gelinas (2004) among Flames players to have a six-game point streak in the playoffs. … McDavid was the first Oilers player to score a goal in four straight postseason games since Michael Peca and Shawn Horcoff in 2006. | https://www.krqe.com/sports/nhl-hockey/tkachuk-scores-3-flames-beat-oilers-9-6-in-game-1-2/ | 2022-05-20T08:27:33Z | https://www.krqe.com/sports/nhl-hockey/tkachuk-scores-3-flames-beat-oilers-9-6-in-game-1-2/ | true | 34 |
(CNN) — Every spring, crowds flock to admire Japan's cherry blossom -- a dazzling pink and white bloom that has been revered in the country for more than a thousand years.
But the world-famous sakura plants are flowering much earlier than normal due to human-induced climate change, a new study has found.
Researchers from the Met Office in the United Kingdom and Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan say the climate crisis and urban warming have pushed forward the "peak bloom" flowering period by 11 days.
In 2021, cherry blossoms in the historic central city of Kyoto peaked on March 26 -- the earliest full flowering date in 1,200 years. This year, the cherry blossoms burst into color on April 1. The scientists, who published their findings in the journal Environmental Research Letters on May 20, said that extreme early flowering of the cherry blossoms is now more common. The trend of earlier peak blooms coincides with rising temperatures. Average March temperatures in Kyoto city center have increased by several degrees since pre-industrial times, under the influence of both climate change and urban warming, the scientists observed.
Part of the reason is increased urbanization. Cities tend to be warmer than surrounding rural areas because buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat more than natural landscapes -- a phenomena known as the heat island effect.
But scientists say a bigger reason is the climate crisis, in which the burning of fossil fuels has caused rising temperatures across the region and the world. If planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions continue as they are, by the end of the century Kyoto's cherry blossoms could start arriving even earlier -- by almost another week, the study found.
"Our research shows that not only have human-induced climate change and urban warming already impacted the flowering dates of cherry blossom in Kyoto, but that extremely early flowering dates, as in 2021, are now estimated to be 15 times more likely, and are expected to occur at least once a century," said lead author and Met Office climate scientist, Dr. Nikos Christidis.
"Such events are projected to occur every few years by 2100 when they would no longer be considered extreme."
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom at the Lake Biwa Canal in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture on April 4.

Earlier cherry blossoms have wider ramifications for Japan's economy and ecology, and are a symptom of the larger climate crisis threatening ecosystems everywhere.
"Spring cherry blossom flowering is a culturally significant event in Japan," said contributing author Yasuyuki Aono, from Osaka Metropolitan University. Spring festivals that accompany the blooms are an important contributor to the local economy, so being able to predict the bloom's timing can be critical.
The peak bloom period lasts just a few days. During this period, hanami -- Japanese for "flower viewing" -- is a popular activity. It is common for locals and tourists alike to have picnics under the cherry trees, and businesses will sometimes offer special set meals or products during the week.
Why early cherry blossoms matter
But it's not just a matter of tourists scrambling to catch peak bloom before the petals all fall -- it could have a lasting impact on entire ecosystems, and threaten the survival of many species.
The impact of rising temperatures on nature's calendar has trickle-down effects on farming and land management practices in the country, the study said.
It also impacts plants, insects and animals, which rely heavily on each other for their development and life cycles. A change to this cycle can initiate a chain reaction, causing damage to ecosystems.
For instance, plants sense the temperature around them and if it's warm enough for a consistent period, they start to flower and their leaves start to emerge. Similarly, higher heat can cause faster growth in insects and other animals.
Different plants and insects may respond to the rise in heat at different paces, throwing their life cycles out of sync. Whereas they once timed their growth simultaneously each spring, now flowers may bloom before insects are ready, and vice versa -- meaning there may not be enough food for the insects or plants.
The change in flowering dates isn't limited to Japan or to cherry blossoms. This year, spring came early in parts of the United Kingdom and climate change is making plants across the British Isles flower, on average, a month earlier than they used to, according to a recent study. The same phenomenon is already happening to many crops and economically valuable plants -- posing big problems for food security and farmers' livelihoods. | https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/climate-crisis-cherry-blossom-kyoto-japan-intl-hnk-scn/index.html | 2022-05-20T08:27:46Z | https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/climate-crisis-cherry-blossom-kyoto-japan-intl-hnk-scn/index.html | true | 13 |
Thanks to the support of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), villagers in South Sudan earn extra income through beekeeping. Turkey's leading development agency had donated around 300 beehives, harvesting equipment, and beekeeping suits to villagers in South Sudan as part of a project initiated by a local nongovernmental organization (NGO), the Support Peace Initiative Development Organization (SPIDO) to support beekeepers in rural areas in 2021.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA) on the eve of World Bee Day, which is marked on Friday, Daniel Wani, chairman of a beekeepers group in Rajab East, southeast of the capital Juba, said they are hoping to enjoy the sweet rewards of beekeeping and processing honey with the help of TİKA.
He said that before they received support from Turkish organizations, they used to suffer a lot, but now their families can eat honey and also sell it to earn more income. "This project is very important to us. It came at the right time. The donors and supporters gave us training. Now we are experts in beekeeping. Not like before, when we were using traditional ways. They gave us modern beehives. In our first harvest, we got a good quantity of honey, and that helped us with our families,” said Wani. He said they are going to benefit more from this project in the coming three months, based on what they have seen from their first harvest.
"SPIDO and the Turkish organization have given us hope to continue with this work of beekeeping. Before, we used to try it, but nothing good used to come from it. But with support from the Turkish organization, we are able now to take something to the market and keep something for the family to eat,” he added. Wani said the equipment and modern beehives supplied with the help of Turkish aid groups have helped in generating quality honey. He said the only challenge facing them is flooding, which has taken away some of their beehives because they were placed near the river.
Victor William, one of the farmers, said keeping bees now has become easy for them because they have the equipment and modern beehives which they did not have before. "The project that was initiated by SPIDO and supported by a Turkish organization is helping us a lot. Now we are getting something compared to those days when we were using traditional ways and nothing good was coming out,” he said.
Glamourson Musembe, program manager at SPIDO, said the project funded by the Turkish organization will continue supporting the beekeepers so that they will transform themselves economically. "We are going to help the beekeepers to address the challenges facing them. This project was very instrumental to them because this is the first time, they started rearing bees. They had been living with bees but didn’t see it as something beneficial. They didn’t know that it’s something that can generate income,” he added. Musembe said the community needs more training and support so they can do more to sustain themselves economically, but they don’t have more resources now because the Turkish organization is the only donor who is helping them to support the community.
He said they received 300 beehives from TİKA and gave them to 100 farmers on the outskirts of Juba to start their businesses after training them on beekeeping.

Federal Judge Halts Biden Admin's Transgender Mandates After Christian Group Appeals
A federal judge has temporarily blocked Biden administration mandates that would have forced nonprofit and for-profit religious employers and health care providers to pay for and perform transgender medical procedures and counseling.
If Judge Daniel M. Traynor of the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota had not blocked these mandates, they would have been enforced even if they violated the employer’s or health care provider’s religious beliefs, Fox News reported Tuesday.
The Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit in October against the mandates on behalf of the Christian Employers Alliance.
The group exists, in part, “to support Christian employers and develop strategies for them, so that they, as part of their religious witness and exercise may provide health or other employment related benefits to their respective employees and engage in other employment practices in a manner that is consistent with Christian values,” the court documents read.
The defendants in the CEA lawsuit included Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission and the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services.
On Monday, Traynor — who was nominated to the bench by then-President Donald Trump in 2019 — issued an order halting the enforcement of the mandates, the Alliance Defending Freedom reported.
“No government agency ought to be in the business of evaluating the sincerity of another’s religious beliefs,” the judge wrote in the decision.
The CEA said the Biden administration was violating its members’ rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment.
Jacob Reed of the Alliance Defending Freedom argued the case before the court on behalf of the CEA.
“All employers and healthcare providers, including those in the Christian Employers Alliance, have the constitutional right to conduct their business and render treatment in a manner consistent with their deeply held religious beliefs,” Reed said in a statement.
“The employers we represent believe that God purposefully created humans as either male or female, and so it would violate their religious beliefs to pay for or perform life-altering medical procedures or surgeries that seek to change one’s biological sex,” he said.
“The court was on firm ground to halt enforcement of these unlawful mandates that disrespect people of faith.”
The mandates emerged from Section 1157 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) during the administration of then-President Barack Obama in 2016.
On the day he took office, President Joe Biden issued an executive order extending the prohibition on discrimination to that based on “gender identity and sexual orientation.”
Several groups filed lawsuits fighting that order as a violation of religious liberty.
In its suit, the CEA argued that HHS, the EEOC and the Office of Civil Rights were misinterpreting Section 1157 when sending guidance interpreting denial of transgender medical procedures and counseling as discrimination on the basis of sex.
Traynor agreed with this in his ruling.
The district judge wrote that “since the issuance of the Biden HHS Notification, HHS has also released new guidance with the newest HHS Guidance. In fact, the HHS Guidance encourages a parent to file a complaint if a medical provider refuses to gender transition their child, of any age, including an infant.
“The thought that a newborn child could be surgically altered to change gender is the result of the Biden HHS Notification and HHS Guidance that brands a medical professional’s refusal to do so as discrimination.”
In a footnote, he added, “Beyond the religious implications, the Biden HHS Notification and resulting HHS Guidance frustrate the proper care of gender dysphoria, where even among adults who experience the condition, a diagnosis occurs following the considered involvement of medical professionals.
“By branding the consideration as ‘discrimination,’ the HHS prohibits the medical profession from evaluating what is best for the patient in what is certainly a complex mental health question.”
Traynor concluded, “Religious freedoms are at the heart of this case. It is in the public interest to ensure these rights are not violated.”
Many viewed the ruling as a victory for freedom of religion.
“CEA members are relieved, and look forward to a permanent, nationwide halt to this affront to religious freedom,” the group’s president, Shannon Royce, said in a statement shared on Twitter.

— Christian Employers Alliance (@JoinCEANow) May 17, 2022
“The administration’s mandates are crippling for the countless Christian-owned and operated businesses seeking to care well for their employees without the fear of punishing fines, burdensome litigation costs, the loss of federal funds, and even criminal penalties,” Royce said, according to Fox News.
“As stewards of the health and safety of our valued employees, it is unconscionable and unconstitutional to be mandated to provide, pay for, or promote services and procedures that directly contradict our deeply held religious beliefs,” she added.
“We are pleased that we can continue to act consistent with those beliefs while our lawsuit proceeds and look forward to ultimately prevailing with our case.”

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Friday reacted sharply over the raids conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in more than 15 locations of Lalu Prasad.
Sunil Singh, senior leader of the party and an MLC, slammed the CBI for conducting raids “on the direction of the Narendra Modi government”.
“Conduct raids at the places you want. You (CBI) will not get anything other than cow dung and Baba Ji Ka Thullu,” Singh asserted before the mediapersons in Patna.
“The act of CBI is a part of the political vendetta by the BJP to harass Lalu Prasad and his family,” he added.
Alok Mehta, another senior leader of the RJD and close to the Lalu family said: “The BJP is doing everything to stay in power in Bihar. It is involved in increasing communal tension in the society and diverting the attention from the real issues. Those who are pointing out real issues before the countrymen are getting harassed through the central agencies. They want to suppress the voice of a person who is vocal against the divisive politics of the BJP and RSS.”
Shakti Singh Yadav, another senior leader of the RJD said that the party will start a movement against the BJP in Bihar.
Earlier, the CBI registered a fresh FIR against Lalu Prasad in the alleged IRCTC scam during his tenure as the Union railway minister between 2005 to 2009. But the million dollar question arises here is what new proof the CBI obtained after 13 years against Lalu Prasad to register an FIR followed by raids at more than 15 places in Patna, Delhi, Gopalganj, and other places.
At present Rabri Devi and Tej Pratap Yadav are present in Patna. The CBI officials are quizzing Tej Pratap Yadav in his official residence. Tejashwi Yadav is in London for a conference while Lalu Prasad and his daughter Misa Bharti are in Delhi.
Timing and probable reasons of raids
The timing of the FIR and raids is important here, especially in the last one and half months. During the period of Ramzan, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav came very close to each other. Nitish Kumar went to the Rabri Devi residence for the Iftar party. When the JD(U)’s minority wing invited Tejashwi Yadav for the Iftar party, Nitish Kumar went to the car of Tejashwi Yadav to see-off him and then sat in his own car.
Sources have said that the BJP think tank got restless after Tejashwi Yadav announced a padyatra from Patna to New Delhi on the issue of caste-based census. The office of CMO Bihar immediately called Tejashwi Yadav for a close-door meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. That meeting lasted one hour wherein no one was allowed inside.
Sources further said that Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav were discussing the formation of a new government in Bihar. For Nitish Kumar, the caste-based census could be an issue to leave the BJP and form a new government in Bihar with the support of the RJD.
After that meeting, Tejashwi was also looking calm. He claimed that the chief minister will call an all-party meeting to discuss the issue of caste-based census.
Nitish Kumar contested the 2015 election under the umbrella of Mahagathbandhan where the RJD was the elder partner with 81 seats in the Vidhan Sabha. Nitish Kumar came out of the Mahagathbandhan after the railway and IRCTC scams surfaced in 2017. Lalu Prasad was facing charges of recruiting a number of people in the Indian Railway on the basis of cash and land registry. Some of the job aspirants have registered their lands in the names of Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav. When the name of Tejashwi Yadav came in the FIR of CBI, Nitish Kumar broke the alliance and jumped into the ship of the BJP to form the government in Bihar. He broke the alliance with the RJD on the claim of zero-tolerance on corruption in his government.
JD(U) led by Nitish Kumar contested the 2020 Assembly election under the umbrella of NDA, but it’s seats were less compared to the 2015 poll. Nitish Kumar believes that the seats of his party came down due to BJP. Hence, the relationship of the JD(U) and BJP was sour from the beginning of this government. During the oath ceremony of Nitish Kumar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah came to Raj Bhawan, but these two leaders were not looking friendly at all.
For the BJP, its leaders know that Nitish Kumar has so many qualities but they also know that he can shift the goal post any time from the NDA to Mahagathbandhan. Caste-based census is one of the issues where the JD(U) and the BJP have difference of opinions and Nitish Kumar could utilise that point to change the government.
The Narendra Modi government knows Bihar is critical for him in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Hence, the BJP top leadership wants to stay in the government of Bihar. On the other hand, Nitish Kumar knows that if they stay with BJP, the performance of JD(U) in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and Vidhan Sabha 2025 may reach another low.
The JD(U) did not announce the name of R.C.P. Singh as a candidate for the Rajya Sabha. It was also a hint from Nitish Kumar to the BJP as everyone knows that R.C.P. Singh is having good connections with the top leadership of the BJP. The party has already announced the name of party old loyalist Anil Hegde for the Rajya Sabha seat. At present, the JD(U) has not enough strength to send two Rajya Sabha candidates.
The political experts believe that there is a message for Nitish Kumar as well here. It would not be easy for him to move away from the BJP and form a new government in Bihar with the help of the RJD. Nitish Kumar was also a Union railway minister in the past and allegedly sleeper scam took place during his tenure. The case of Bihar’s Srijan scam is also in the hands of CBI.

The Haryana government on Wednesday announced that a government school will be named after Lance Naik Nishan Singh, who died in an encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district last month, in his native village in Sirsa district. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited Singh’s residence in Bhavdeen village on Wednesday to express his condolences to the bereaved family members. He was accompanied by his deputy Dushyant Chautala, Power Minister Ranjit Singh Chautala and Sirsa MP Sunita Duggal.
Khattar announced that a government school in Bhavdeen will be named after Singh and a member of his family will be given a government job as per rules. Expressing his condolences to Singh’s family members, Khattar said Haryana and Bhavdeen are proud of his sacrifice.
“Nishan Singh showed exceptional bravery while fighting the terrorists. It is only because of such brave soldiers that today we feel completely safe in our country," the chief minister said. Khattar described Singh’s death as an irreparable loss. He said the bravery with which he laid down his life for the safety of the country is a matter of pride for everyone. Singh had joined the Army in 2013.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to speed production of infant formula and authorized flights to import supply from overseas, as he faces mounting political pressure over a domestic shortage caused by the safety-related closure of the country’s largest formula manufacturing plant.
The Defense Production Act order requires suppliers of formula manufacturers to fulfill orders from those companies before other customers, in an effort to eliminate production bottlenecks. Biden is also authorizing the Defense Department to use commercial aircraft to fly formula supplies that meet federal standards from overseas to the U.S., in what the White House is calling “Operation Fly Formula.”
Supplies of baby formula across the country have been severely curtailed in recent weeks after a February recall by Abbott Nutrition exacerbated ongoing supply chain disruptions among formula makers, leaving fewer options on store shelves and increasingly anxious parents struggling to find nutrition for their children.
“I know parents across the country are worried about finding enough formula to feed their babies,” Biden said in a video statement released Wednesday by the White House. ”As a parent and as a grandparent, I know just how stressful that is.”
The announcement comes two days after the Food and Drug Administration said it was streamlining its review process to make it easier for foreign manufacturers to begin shipping more formula into the U.S.
In a letter Wednesday to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, Biden directed the agencies to work with the Pentagon to identify overseas supply of formula that meets U.S. standards over the next week, so that chartered Defense Department flights can swiftly fly it to the U.S.
“Imports of baby formula will serve as a bridge to this ramped-up production,” Biden wrote.
Regulators said Monday that they’d reached a deal to allow Abbott Nutrition to restart its Sturgis, Michigan, plant, the nation’s largest formula plant, which has been closed since February due to contamination issues. The company must overhaul its safety protocols and procedures before resuming production.
After getting the FDA’s OK, Abbott said it will take eight to ten weeks before new products begin arriving in stores. The company didn’t set a timeline to restart manufacturing.
“I’ve directed my team to do everything possible to ensure there’s enough safe baby formula and that it is quickly reaching families that need it the most,” Biden said in the statement, calling it “one of my top priorities.”
The White House actions come as the Democratic-led House approved two bills Wednesday addressing the baby formula shortage as lawmakers look to show progress on what has become a frightening development for many families.
One bill with wide bipartisan support passed by a vote of 414-9. It would give the secretary of the Agriculture Department the ability to issue a narrow set of waivers in the event of a supply disruption. The goal is to give participants in an assistance program commonly known as WIC the ability to use vouchers to purchase formula from any producer rather than be limited to one brand that may be unavailable. The WIC program accounts for about half of infant formula sales in the U.S.
“I want to say to the mom struggling that we hear you in Congress and you do not need to handle this on your own. We are working to find you a solution,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn.
The other measure, a $28 million emergency spending bill to boost resources at the Food and Drug Administration, passed by a mostly party-line vote of 231-192, and it’s unclear whether the Senate will go along.
“This bill just continues the Democrats’ strategy of throwing money at the same bureaucrats who caused the crisis and who have not made its solution a priority,” said Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the Democratic chair of the House Appropriations Committee, said the money would increase FDA staffing to boost inspections of domestic and international suppliers, prevent fraudulent products from getting onto store shelves and acquire better data on the marketplace.
“It is essential that we ensure the federal government has the resources it needs to get baby formula back on the shelves,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Abbott’s voluntary recall was triggered by four illnesses reported in babies who had consumed powdered formula from its plant. All four infants were hospitalized with a rare type of bacterial infection and two died.
After a six-week inspection, FDA investigators published a list of problems in March, including lax safety and sanitary standards and a history of bacterial contamination in several parts of the plant. Under Monday’s agreement, Abbott must regularly consult with an outside safety expert to restart and maintain production.
Chicago-based Abbott has emphasized that its products have not been directly linked to the bacterial infections in children. Samples of the bacteria found at its plant did not match the strains collected from two babies by federal investigators.
But FDA officials pushed back on that reasoning Monday on a call with reporters — their first time publicly addressing the company’s argument. FDA staffers noted they were unable to collect bacterial strains from two of the four patients, limiting their chances of finding a match.
“Right from the get-go we were limited in our ability to determine with a causal link whether the product was linked to these four cases because we only had sequences on two,” FDA’s food director Susan Mayne said.
Fixing the violations uncovered at Abbott’s plant will take time, according to former FDA officials. Companies need to exhaustively clean the facility and equipment, retrain staff, repeatedly test and document there is no contamination.
As part of the FDA’s new import policy, regulators said companies would need to provide documentation of their factory’s inspections. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/us-politics/biden-invokes-defense-production-act-for-formula-shortage-2/ | 2022-05-20T08:38:42Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/us-politics/biden-invokes-defense-production-act-for-formula-shortage-2/ | true | 89 |

Mumbai: A prolonged bad patch can really dent someone’s confidence and it is only human that Virat Kohli also desperately sought some luck which hasn’t gone his way of late, said Royal Challengers Bangalore Director of Cricket Mike Hesson. Kohli finally showed glimpses of his old self with a chiselled 73 in a successful run-chase which kept RCB in the equation for a play-off berth.
IPL FULL COVERAGE | SCHEDULE | RESULTS | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP
After having found 13 different ways to get dismissed, Kohli had some rub of the green going his way and it was because he never stopped working hard, opined Hesson.
“The fact that he (Virat) was working so hard in the nets and trying to find rhythm away from the playing games, away from the contest, allowed him to keep that confidence up,” Hesson said at post-match post-conference.
But having been dismissed cheaply in 12 out of 13 games, it is only human to feel a bit of pressure, feels Hesson.
“But no doubt when you go through a patch like that – he is only human, you know then you do start to just having doubts and wonder when your luck is going to turn. So look, a little-bit of luck tonight but he’s certainly earned it throughout this IPL,” Hesson said.
While RCB are on the edge and might lose out on a top four spot if Delhi Capitals happen to beat Mumbai Indians on Saturday, Hesson was delighted with Kohli’s performance.
“Look, I am absolutely delighted. Just shows like, (in) any team if you get the top-order firing and (have) a player like Virat, then it makes the rest of the chase a lot easier.
“And obviously chasing scores here has not been our forte so far in this IPL. We have been able to defend scores, but haven’t been able to chase,” Hesson explained why it had been a tough ride for the RCB.
“We know Virat is the chase-master and he set the tone again today. It was a crucial game for us and the big players stood up. We know when Virat is in that frame of mind, good luck (to the opposition), because he can take the game away from anyone,” he added.
Before the game against Gujarat, Kohli was going through a lean phase, but Hesson said there was no set pattern for his dismissals.
“It started in Pune and then from that point on, he got run-out a couple of times. Obviously, the one that went off the hip he (Virat) pretty much found each and every way to get out. So he is right there, there certainly wasn’t a pattern to those dismissals,” elaborated Hesson.

Prashant Kishor: Congress Chintan Shivir a failure; party headed for rout in Gujarat and HP
The meeting accomplished little purpose other than to buy time for the Congress leadership, Kishor tweeted.
Poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Friday launched a new attack on the Congress party and tweeted about its recent 'Chintan Shivir,' or brainstorming session. Kishor named the 'Chintan Shivir' a failure, as it gave some time to the leadership, at least until the impending electoral rout in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
Kishor, who was involved in heated negotiations with the Grand Old Party earlier this month amid talk of joining them, left the party earlier this month, noting that the party, more than him, needed leadership and collective will to address deep-rooted structural problems through transformational reforms.
Kishor had sought a free hand to revitalise the Congress, but some leaders were wary of him and his ties to other political parties.
Later, the strategist decided to start fresh in Bihar, launching his 'Jan Suraaj Abhiyan' (good governance campaign) from Vaishali district on May 20, much ahead of his planned 3,000-km' padayatra' on Gandhi Jayanti on October 2.
On Friday, Kishor wrote, "I've been asked several times to comment on the #UdaipurChintanShivir outcome. It failed to achieve anything meaningful, in my opinion, other than prolonging the status quo and giving the #Congress leadership some breathing room, at least until the impending electoral rout in Gujarat and HP!"
While the Congress was considering bringing Kishor on board, a group of veterans were sceptical because of his ties with several political organisations that opposed the Congress. Even the party's dissident group, known as G23, was unimpressed with Kishor's appointment, claiming that the leadership was overlooking and ignoring in-house talent in favour of someone who is not a party loyalist and works as a professional consultant.
After a series of election failures since 2014, Congress accepted certain improvements but avoided broader issues, such as a leadership reshuffle.
The poll strategist had previously been a JD(U) member but was expelled in January 2020 due to his stance on the Citizenship Amendment Act. However, in their assembly election campaigns, the Trinamool Congress, the DMK, and the Aam Aadmi Party had enlisted his help.

India has supplied COVID-19 vaccines to Cambodia and Thailand under an initiative of the Quad group of countries, New Delhi said on Thursday, though not the Johnson & Johnson shot as originally planned.
The leaders of the Quad countries - India, the United States, Japan and Australia - could discuss the vaccine supply plan when they meet in Japan on Tuesday, Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi told a news conference.
"We have sent, under the Quad umbrella, vaccines to Cambodia and Thailand," Mr Bagchi said.
"Yes, the original plan was to use a different modality, but the final objective is to ensure that vaccines are shared under the Quad umbrella to those countries who need them."
Mr Bagchi did not give numbers, but the foreign ministry data shows that India last month sent 200,000 doses of Covovax, a version of the Novavax vaccine made by the Serum Institute of India (SII), to Thailand under the Quad programme.
India separately shipped 325,000 doses of Covishield, a version of the AstraZeneca shot made by the SII, to Cambodia, the data shows.
The Quad was originally supposed to supply J&J doses made by Indian company Biological E Ltd to Southeast Asian and other countries, as a counter to China's vaccine donations around the world. | https://en.trend.az/world/other/3597958.html | 2022-05-20T08:57:42Z | https://en.trend.az/world/other/3597958.html | true | 7 |
Brits can prepare themselves for sweltering temperatures this weekend, with weather reports of sunny skies and warm weather, but Monday tells a different story.
After a weekend of sun, weather experts are saying Monday will bring a complete washout to a week that could be dominated by thunder and lightning.
A few days of heat and thunderstorms over the weekend could make way for some thunder and lightning in the week ahead, with Monday pinned as the turning point.
Reporting on the upcoming weather, BBC weather forecaster Ben Rich warned that there may be some thundery rain in the coming days.
Rich said: "Any more thunder and lightning in the outlook? Well for Friday this frontal system to the south east of us does look set to bring some heavy thundery rain but most of it will stay across the near continent, some perhaps fringing into south eastern parts of England.
"This band of rain pushing in from the west, this could generate the odd thunder storm as it pushes eastwards during the day.
"And even where we see some sunshine a few heavy, possibly thundery downpours will pop up. Temperatures a little lower on Friday, 14C to 19C, that’s actually around the average for the time of year and it will be quite breezy."
Met Office forecaster Aidan McGivern went further than Rich, saying temperatures could rise to a sweltering 24C on Sunday. The Mirror reported.
He said: "The main theme is for higher pressure from the south, that’s where the finer weather will be, lower pressure will be to the north, nothing particularly unsettled I don’t think. It’s more a case of bright spells and showers for most.
"For northern England, sunshine and showers, by the afternoon but towards the south east corner, staying largely dry through Sunday with some sunny spells with temperatures a little higher than Saturday, 23C perhaps 24C in London."
McGivern added that there were chances of a showery outlook for Monday, adding: "We are likely to develop low pressure to the east of the UK so that will bring some quick heavy and potentially quite persistent rain."

There has certainly been a lot happening lately especially with visitors to our fair town. Spring floods in Hay River sent evacuees scurrying here. Then, a Royal tour and the United States Government talking about UFOs visiting the planet. Or, as they are calling them now, Unidentified Flying Phenomena — UFPs for short. Since an object could be a phenomenon, not sure what the name change signifies because, either way, it is unidentified and flying.
Lots of other things going on and if a UFP or O, should happen to enter our airspace I am sure one of the many birders here will spot it. And they will no doubt add it to their lifer list. Some bird watchers’ actually keep a list of all the birds they have seen in their lifetime. I admire their passion and dedication to the cause.
There are over 200 species of birds that have been recorded in the Yellowknife area and some watchers know and recognize most of them. To them a duck is not merely a duck of some sort, they want to know exactly which sort it is and if they don’t know they will look it up in their bird books. Birders often have several books, several pairs of binoculars and means to photograph what they see. That’s one of the ways to spot a serious birder. Do they have a pair of binoculars with them?
We are well into the bird migration season and not thousands, but millions of birds are passing through the area, so its hard not to see them, but some people do manage to miss most of the action. There is another way to spot a person who likes birds. They rush outside to look when they hear a flock of geese overhead. The flocks of birds that don’t honk as they fly over are much harder to spot. You must be looking at the right place at the right time.
The ponds and then the small lakes will soon open and that will pretty much be the end of the bird migration north for the year. It really is an amazing yearly event. The return of the birds. In the summer, it is almost impossible to look around you and not see a bird somewhere. Usually there is one or more in the sky and if you stand still and look carefully around you, you can usually spot a few on the ground or in the bushes.
The end of the migration is also usually the start of another northern phenomena. Planting fever begins to affect some people. The days are long and warm. Wild plants are starting to send out shoots and green up. People want to get planting in the worst way. If they can’t plant, they can still buy plants and stockpile bedding plants indoors, in their kitchen, on their dining room table, in the laundry room or anyplace else they can find some space. They go to the places that sell bedding plants and just can’t resist buying a few more.
Every time they go outside they are seized with a dilemma; they want to plant but it is still too early. They know that deep down but then someone in the neighborhood can’t take it anymore and they plant. People see that someone planted, and their will power breaks down. They plant. Then it seems like everyone is planting.
Then it hits, the year’s last snow fall. I have seen people outside in a snowstorm digging up their bedding plants and bringing them inside, all because they planted too soon. Many must visit the nurseries again because some of the wussy southern garden plants, just don’t survive.
Lots of people have passions and as long as they don’t hurt others or nature, why not encourage them. Some people have a passion for hiking, cooking, fishing, or swatting mosquitoes. Some prospectors get what is called gold fever and they will go a little nuts looking for the stuff. Others have a passion for seeing another species of bird and some people really like to garden, even if they do start a tad early.
What ever your passion time to get outside and enjoy it. And if you see or photograph a UFP, please share it. | https://www.nnsl.com/opinion/comment-columnist-walt-humphries-tales-from-the-dump/ | 2022-05-20T09:07:34Z | https://www.nnsl.com/opinion/comment-columnist-walt-humphries-tales-from-the-dump/ | true | 1 |
Here's What Makes Medtronic Stock A Better Pick Over This Pharmaceuticals Company
We think that Medtronic stock (NYSE: MDT) is currently a better pick than Eli Lilly stock (NYSE: LLY), given Medtronic’s better prospects and comparatively lower valuation. MDT stock trades at a P/S ratio of 4.4x, compared to 9.7x for LLY stock. The gap in the valuation of these two companies can be attributed to better revenue growth and higher profitability of Eli Lilly. Although both the companies are in different businesses, we compare them due to their similar revenue base. While both companies saw a rise in revenue in recent years, Eli Lilly’s growth has been better.
Looking at stock returns, Eli Lilly’s 55% growth is much better than Medtronic’s -16% change over the last twelve months. This compares with a -1% change in the broader S&P 500 index. While both the companies are likely to see continued top-line expansion, Medtronic is expected to outperform. There is more to the comparison, and in the sections below, we discuss why we believe MDT stock will offer better returns than LLY stock in the next three years. We compare a slew of factors such as historical revenue growth, returns, and valuation multiple in an interactive dashboard analysis of Medtronic vs. Eli Lilly: Which Stock Is A Better Bet? Parts of the analysis are summarized below.
1. Eli Lilly’s Revenue Growth Has Been Stronger Over The Recent Years
- Both companies posted sales growth over the last twelve months. Still, Eli Lilly’s revenue growth of 15% is marginally higher than 14% for Medtronic.
- Looking at a longer time frame, Eli Lilly’s sales grew at an average growth rate of 9.7% to $28.3 billion in 2021, compared to $21.5 billion in 2018, while Medtronic’s sales grew at an average growth rate of 0.3% to $30.1 billion in 2021, compared to around $30.0 billion in 2018.
- Eli Lilly’s revenue growth has been driven by continued market share gains for drugs, such as Trulicity, Verzenio, and Olumiant, and its Covid-19 treatment.
- It also has a robust product cycle, including Alzheimer’s treatment – Donanemab, and diabetes drug – Tirzepatide. The combined peak revenue for these drugs alone is pegged at over $11 billion. The strong gains for LLY stock mentioned earlier in this article can be attributed to investor optimism for Donanemab.
- Medtronic’s sales were hurt during the pandemic due to the postponement of elective surgeries. The rise of new Covid-19 variants, including Delta and Omicron, impacted demand recovery.
- There are high hopes for Medtronic’s most advanced insulin pump system – MiniMed 780G – to drive its diabetes sales in the future. The product is yet to be approved in the U.S. The underperformance of MDT stock stated earlier in this article can be linked to the concerns over the delay in the MiniMed 780G approval. Late last year, the U.S. FDA issued a warning to Medtronic’s diabetes business facility in California, citing inadequacies in quality system requirements.
- Our Medtronic Revenue and Eli Lilly Revenue dashboards provide more insight into the companies’ sales.
- Looking forward, both the companies are expected to see their revenue expand at a similar pace over the next three years. The table below summarizes our revenue expectations for the two companies over the next three years. It points to a CAGR of 2.4% for Eli Lilly, compared to a 2.1% CAGR for Medtronic, based on Trefis Machine Learning analysis.
- Note that we have different methodologies for companies negatively impacted by Covid and for companies not impacted or positively impacted by Covid while forecasting future revenues. For companies negatively affected by Covid, we consider the quarterly revenue recovery trajectory to forecast recovery to the pre-Covid revenue run rate. Beyond the recovery point, we apply the average annual growth observed in the three years before Covid to simulate a return to normal conditions. For companies registering positive revenue growth during Covid, we consider yearly average growth before Covid with a certain weight to growth during Covid and the last twelve months.
2. Eli Lilly Is More Profitable, And It Has A Better Debt Position
- Eli Lilly’s operating margin of 21.1% over the last twelve-month period is much better than 10.3% for Medtronic.
- This compares with 21.8% and 20.5% figures seen in 2019, before the pandemic, respectively.
- Eli Lilly’s free cash flow margin of 25.6% is also better than 22.1% for Medtronic.
- Our Medtronic Operating Income and Eli Lilly Operating Income dashboards have more details.
- Looking at financial risk, Medtronic’s 35% debt as a percentage of equity is higher than 12% for Eli Lilly, while its 12% cash as a percentage of assets is higher than 8% for the latter, implying that Eli Lilly has a better debt position and Medtronic has more cash cushion.
3. The Net of It All
- We see that Eli Lilly has demonstrated better revenue growth, is more profitable, and has a better debt position. On the other hand, Medtronic is available at a comparatively lower valuation and has a higher cash cushion.
- Now, looking at prospects, using P/S as a base, due to high fluctuations in P/E and P/EBIT, we believe Medtronic is currently the better choice of the two.
- The table below summarizes our revenue and return expectations for Medtronic and Eli Lilly over the next three years and points to an expected return of 5% for Medtronic over this period vs. a -8% expected return for Eli Lilly, based on Trefis Machine Learning analysis – Medtronic vs. Eli Lilly – which also provides more details on how we arrive at these numbers. Note that LLY stock has already seen a large rally on the optimism around its late-stage pipeline drugs.
- Although this implies that MDT is a better pick over LLY, it still doesn’t look like a good investment with just 5% returns over three years. However, we believe that the returns for MDT stock can be much higher, especially if it sees the MiniMed 780G approval in the U.S. In fact, we maintain our Medtronic valuation of $129 per share in the long run, reflecting a significant 25% premium to the current market price of $103, compared to an expected 5% return over the three-year period, based on our revenue forecast and P/S scenarios considered in the near term.
While MDT stock may outperform LLY, the Covid-19 crisis has created many pricing discontinuities which can offer attractive trading opportunities. For example, you’ll be surprised how counter-intuitive the stock valuation is for Medtronic vs. Masco.

How to donate breast milk during the baby formula shortage
(NEXSTAR) – Amid a nationwide baby formula shortage that has parents scrambling to feed their little ones, breast milk banks across the country are seeing a surge in interest .
The calls are coming in from both parents of formula-fed babies who suddenly can’t find their brand on shelves, as well as nursing mothers with excess supply who want to donate.
The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), an accrediting organization for nonprofit milk banks, is seeing a “major increase” in demand, according to Lindsay Groff, the group’s executive director. She estimates inquiries from parents seeking to fill the formula gap are up 20% in recent days.
Groff called the shortage a “crisis” and said it’s not as simple as parents just supplementing with donated human milk, because the vast majority of those supplies are earmarked for babies with medical conditions.
Experts warn against parents making their own baby formulaIf you are interested in donating milk, the HMBANA has a curated list of vetted milk banks across the U.S. After going through a screening process, you can drop milk off in person or use overnight shipping at no cost, according to the Texas-based organization.
Milk banks in Texas, California, Colorado and other states have put out a call for donations in the past couple of months amid a shortage exacerbated by supply chain issues and formula recalls.
Dr. Lisa Stellwagen said San Diego-based University of California Health Milk Bank is focusing on helping babies with health problems whose mothers’ milk might be insufficient.
“It’s premature babies,” explained Dr. Lisa Stellwagen. “Babies with cardiac illness and other sick babies that would be typically given donor milk if mother’s milk was insufficient.”
“We’re really not talking about healthy, full term babies unless the family has an interest in feeding the baby donor milk,” she continued. “We’re talking about these really, very ill children.”
It’s not just donors reaching out to milk banks, though. Parents desperately seeking nutrition for their babies are pursuing milk banks as well.
Baby formula alternatives: Can you use cow’s milk, oat, soy or almond?At the Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, based in Newton, Massachusetts, people are now calling looking for milk because they can’t find their baby’s usual formula, Deborah Youngblood, the bank’s executive director said. That’s up from nearly no calls at all, since the milk bank typically serves hospitals.
Parents are also turning to online breastmilk-swapping forums to meet their babies’ needs.
Amanda Kastelein, a mother of three from Middlebury, Connecticut, has been supplementing the special formula she needs for 10-month-old Emerson with breast milk from a mom she found on a peer-to-peer Facebook page called Human Milk 4 Human Babies.
Kastelein stopped breastfeeding after getting recurring infections, but tried to begin re-lactating in March after the formula recall, with little success.
“Emerson is allergic to most of the formulas, so it’s been difficult to find something he’s not allergic to,” she said.
In stepped Hannah Breton of Naugatuck, Connecticut, who had been producing more milk than her 2 1/2-month-old son needs. She’s been giving Kastelein about 60 ounces of milk every two weeks. That’s enough to supplement her formula supply and keep Emerson fed.
“She asked a bunch of questions — what medications I’m taking, if any, that kind of thing,” Breton said. “So we decided, ‘OK, that’s perfect.’ So, she comes by every couple weeks and picks up the milk I’ve been saving for her.”
“I do feel helpful,” she added. “It’s exciting and rewarding that I can give to a mom that can’t find what she’s looking for, and if her son can’t take formula, I mean, it’s scary.
Rebecca Heinrich, director of the Mothers’ Milk Bank in Colorado, advises those looking for milk that searching for donors on their own can carry risks.
“We want to make sure that these moms are being as safe as they can and meeting the needs of their infant, so consulting with their health-care provider on how to meet those needs is the best way to go,” she said.
The shortage creates difficulties, particularly for lower-income families after the recall by formula maker Abbott, stemming from contamination concerns. The recall depleted many brands covered by WIC, a federal program like food stamps serving women, infants and children, though it now permits brand substitutes. Abbott says it has been working with WIC and the USDA to pay rebates for competitive products when Similac isn’t available, which is slated to continue through August 31.
Abbott said Monday it had reached an agreement with U.S. health regulators to restart production at its largest domestic factory, though it will be well over a month before any new products ship from the site to help alleviate the national shortage facing parents. A spokesperson for the company said that after FDA approval Abbott could restart the site within two weeks. New product would likely land on store shelves between six and eight weeks after the restart.
“Today’s action means that Abbott Nutrition has agreed to address certain issues that the agency identified at their infant formula production facility in Michigan,” FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. said in a statement Monday. “The public should rest assured that the agency will do everything possible to continue ensuring that infant and other specialty formulas produced by the company meet the FDA’s safety and quality standards, which American consumers have come to expect and deserve.”
Abbott did not immediately detail the terms of the agreement with the Food and Drug Administration, which has been investigating safety concerns at its Sturgis, Michigan, plant since early this year.
“After a thorough investigation by FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Abbott, and review of all available data, there is no conclusive evidence to link Abbott’s formula’s to these infant illnesses,” an Abbott spokesperson told Nexstar in an emailed statement.
The consent decree amounts to a legally binding agreement between the FDA and the company on steps needed to reopen the factory.

Netflix It is characterized by renewing the titles of releases that tend to have a certain popularity worldwide, since it leads them to have almost immediate success.
However, there are cases in which certain stories do not get the desired views, but their arguments are so remarkable that the platform does not hesitate to give it a second chance.
This is the case of “Al Rawabi School for Ladies”, a series originating in Jordan that premiered on August 12 last year and that it obtained positive opinions by the majority of its viewers.

Fans have reacted with particular enthusiasm to the posts, which would mean that the new installment aspires to record better viewing figures than the first.
What is Netflix’s “Al Rawabi’s School for Girls” about?
The youth drama created by Tima Shomali follows the story of a group of girls who were victims of persistent intimidation and bullying attacks within their elite school, so they decide to devise a dangerous plan of retaliation against their bullies.

A HOME and interiors expert has revealed the three ways in which you can totally transform your kitchen on a tight budget.
Kerry Villers, who runs a popular interiors TikTok account, encouraged her followers to get rid of clutter in their home, starting with one of the most central rooms.
In one of her videos, Kerry, whose account is called @kerry_villers, says there are some simple methods that will make your kitchen look better, as well as making you feel better.
In a post titled “aesthetic kitchen swaps that just make sense”, Kerry takes her social media followers through her step-by-step guide.
Firstly, she pays careful attention to the clutter that mounts up on kitchen worktops, including drinks bottles.
Instead of having squash on display, Kerry prefers to store the liquid in stylish glass bottles with a cork.
Next, Kerry turns to the teabags and sugar that she keeps on a nearby counter, and says they look much better if they’re stored in an alternative way.
Kerry opts for a miniature wooden cabinet with drawers that are clearly labelled so that you can easily find what you’re looking for.
Finally, the organisation fan decides to swap out her washing up liquid and hand soap, which are kept near the sink.
Instead of keeping them in the packaging they came in, Kerry pours them into two dark coloured pump bottles that immediately modernise the room.

Kerry’s TikTok followers loved the cheap and easy changes and said they were sure it wouldn’t be long until they followed in her footsteps.
And it was one trick in particular that went down a storm, as many commented on the cute tea storage unit.
When one asked where Kerry had purchased it from, she replied: “I made them!

A CLEANING fanatic has revealed the one thing you need to do before you go to bed to ensure your home smells fresh for the entire next day.
TikTok user Chloe, aka @chloelisexoxo, shared the helpful home hack video on her account, writing: “A quick tip, this makes your house smell amazing!”
In the clip, Chloe can be seen boiling her kettle, before reaching for her trusty fabric softener.
Once the water was hot enough, Chloe then poured it into her sink, allowing it to fill up, and added a generous amount of the fresh smelling liquid.
The bubbly liquid can then be kept in the sink bowl overnight, as the fresh scent fills up your entire home through to the next day.
Many of @chloelisexoxo’s followers “loved” the tip, saying they couldn’t wait to try making the DIY air freshener for themselves.
Others also said the hack works just as well with other cleaning products, including Zoflora.
One suggested: “Try using Zoflora Springtime. It is amazing and also can clean with it, mops, floors etc.”
Another wrote: “I do this and sometimes use Fabulosa or Zoflora, smells amazing, especially Country Garden.”
A third said: “I do this with Zoflora and open the kitchen window so it blows through the house.”

One commented: “I add this to water and put it in a spray bottle and spray everywhere.”
A second added: “I do this and use it before bed to wipe down things. Smells lush in the morning.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is accused of paying $250,000 to one of its flight attendant to keep quiet about its owner’s alleged sexual harassment.
The woman claims the tycoon exposed himself to her, propositioned her for sex, rubbed her leg, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
They told Business Insider that Musk made the proposal as the employee performed a massage on a flight to London in 2016.
The unnamed woman was asked by the billionaire if she could come to his room on the plane to perform ‘a full body massage’, a friend of hers claimed.
SpaceX employs in-house massage therapists for executives. The flight attendant was encouraged by superiors to pay for her own massage classes, her friend claims.
‘They encouraged her to get licensed as a masseuse, but on her own time, on her own dime. They implied that she would get to fly more often if she were to do this because she’d be able to give Elon proper massages,’ they added.
Upon arrival, the attendant allegedly found Musk ‘completely naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body.’
According to the source, he ‘touched her thigh’ and ‘offered to buy her a horse’ if she would ‘do more,’ which she interpreted as performing sex acts.
The attendant, who rode horses as a hobby, declined the offer but carried on with the massage, during which he allegedly ‘exposed his genitals’.
They said the attendant told her about what happened while they were on a hike shortly after the London trip.
She was ‘really upset’ and visibly shaken and ‘didn’t know what to do’, the friend added.
The attendant told her that work ‘began to dry up’ after she refused the tech mogul’s advances.
After becoming convinced that not accepting Musk’s proposal had deprived her of opportunities at work, the attendant hired a lawyer and sent a complaint to HR, it is claimed.
In November 2018, SpaceX and the flight attendant allegedly reached a severance agreement outside court, including a $250,000 payment in exchange for not suing.
This also reportedly included non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements preventing the attendant from talking about Musk, the company or the payment.
Musk took to Twitter last night to denounce the claims against him as ‘utterly untrue’.
‘I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me “exposed” – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public. She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened,’ he said.
Musk, who is also chief executive of Tesla, said on Wednesday that he would vote Republican instead of Democrat, predicting a ‘dirty tricks campaign’ against him would follow.
Hitting back at the claims, he said there was a ‘lot more to this story’ and called it a ‘politically motivated hit piece’.
Yesterday he tweeted: ‘The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.’
Musk claimed the article was an attempt to interfere with his attempt to buy Twitter.

Champions League's radical 'tennis-style' format change
The Champions League knockout rounds are set for seismic changes that will completely overhaul the competition, sources told ESPN.
The changes mirror the format of Grand Slam tennis tournaments and would be introduced from the 2024-25 season. Country protection is to be scrapped after the group stage, meaning Barcelona and Real Madrid, or Liverpool and Manchester City, would be able to face each other in the early knockout rounds.
- Champions League changes: What we know so far
ESPN sources have revealed that all 24 clubs who progress into the knockout stages of the competition will have their route right through to the final seeded and pre-drawn, based largely upon their group ranking, just like tennis stars such as Rodger Federer and Novak Djokovic in tournaments such as the Wimbledon Championships.
The top two teams in the group stage would not be able to meet each other in the knockout rounds until the final, as they will be on opposite sides of the draw.
It's all part of a revamp which comes in from the 2024-25 season, expanded from 32 to 36 teams as one "Swiss-style" league table rather than groups of four teams. Sources have told ESPN that UEFA has yet to ratify this new format for the knockout rounds, but this tennis-style format is favoured.
In a major departure from the existing system, sources told ESPN the plan features:
- A final, 36-team group stage table, that ranks teams from 1-24 based on how well they performed
- Teams that rank 1-8 in this group stage table are effectively seeded and enter in the round of 16 -- just like the group stage winners are under the current format
- Teams ranked 9-24 play a knockout playoff round to reach the round of 16 and teams that finish 25-36 will be eliminated from Europe altogether
- The knockout bracket will be split in two, with the teams ranked 1, 3, 5 and 7 in one half and 2, 4, 6 and 8 in the other.
- The best performing clubs in the group stage, ranks 1 and 2, will be drawn into positions at the opposite end of the bracket, thus unable to meet each other until the final
- Teams ranked 3 & 4, 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 will also be paired and have set positions in opposite halves of the bracket
An illustration of how the knockout system will work. ESPN images.
A decision has yet to be made about the exact format of the knockout playoff round draw, though those clubs ranked 9 & 10, 11 & 12, 13 & 14 and 15 & 16 would be paired and drawn into set places in opposite halves of the bracket. The eight teams that lose in the knockout playoff round will be eliminated from Europe altogether, with no drop-down into the Europa League round of 16.
What isn't certain is how those ranked 17 to 24 would be drawn. One option is to pair these clubs too, which would mean ranks 9 and 10 would play rank 23 or 24, but UEFA could yet opt for an open draw at this stage.
UEFA does need to find a back-up solution in case of a deadlock situation when a political clash is prohibited, for instance if Russian clubs are readmitted and in a path to face a team from Ukraine. Russian clubs are currently banned from European competition following Russian's invasion of Ukraine.
The calendar will also be revamped, with the Champions League group stage played across eight of the 10 midweeks reserved for European football. The Europa League (September) and Europa Conference League (December) will each have one standalone set of games in the two spare midweeks.
Sources told ESPN that both the Champions League and Europa League group stages will complete a month later at the end of January, while the Europa Conference League, which has two fewer group stage fixtures, will still end in December. -- Dale Johnson

Pogba fears Man United fans' backlash
Paul Pogba has reservations about playing for Manchester United at Crystal Palace on Sunday over fears he could be targeted by visiting supporters, sources told ESPN.
The France midfielder was booed by fans following the 3-2 win over Norwich at Old Trafford on April 16 and again when he was substituted because of injury after 10 minutes of the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool on April 19.
- Pogba's United career: Flop or not?
Pogba has not featured since the loss at Anfield but has an outside chance of being available for the trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday -- United's last game of the season.
It's also likely to be the last game of Pogba's United career with his contract set to expire in June but sources told ESPN that the 29-year-old is concerned he may get a negative reception at Selhurst Park if he was to be part of the squad.
Sources close to Pogba insist he is yet to make a decision on his long-term future. Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are leading the race to sign the World Cup on a free transfer in the summer.
Pogba has made 226 appearances since rejoining United from Juventus for a then world record £89.3m fee in 2016 but it set to walk away for free for a second time after initially making the switch from Old Trafford to Juventus in 2012. -- Rob Dawson

Gab and Juls debate whether a return to Juventus would suit Paul Pogba when he leaves Man United.
Oxlade-Chamberlain in Liverpool limbo
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is facing a battle to relaunch his career this summer amid concerns Liverpool's transfer strategy could force him to see out the final year of his contract at Anfield, sources told ESPN.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 28, has not appeared in Jurgen Klopp's Premier League team since playing 62 minutes of the 3-1 win at home to Norwich in February and the former England midfielder was an unused substitute as a depleted Liverpool side won 2-1 at Southampton on Tuesday.
Despite being fit and available, the former Arsenal player's only first-team action during the past three months have been FA Cup outings against Norwich and Nottingham Forest.
But while Liverpool are prepared to listen to offers for Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer, sources told ESPN the club will assess how much interest there is in him before setting a valuation on a player signed for £35 million from Arsenal in 2017.
Since recovering from a knee problem in December 2020, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been injury-free, but his first-team opportunities have diminished to the extent he is prepared to seek a move elsewhere to avoid another season of limited chances at Anfield next year.
Liverpool's recent transfer business has seen them hold out for high fees for players entering the final year of their contracts, however, with the club prepared to allow the likes of Georginio Wijnaldum (Paris Saint-Germain), Adam Lallana (Brighton) and Daniel Sturridge (Trabzonspor) leave as free agents rather than be offloaded for lower valuations.
And with the transfer market still impacted by the financial problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Liverpool's prospects of raising funds by parting with Oxlade-Chamberlain are in the balance due to their likely demands. -- Mark Ogden

Newcastle tell would-be suitors: We won't be bullied
Newcastle United are making rival clubs and player agents lower expectations of lucrative deals with the St James' Park club this summer, sources told ESPN, with the new owners ruling out a move for Manchester United's out-of-contract midfielder Jesse Lingard unless he reduces his £150,000-a-week wage demands.
Having completed their takeover of Newcastle last October by buying out previous owner Mike Ashley, the Saudi Arabia-backed consortium which now controls the club invested over £90 million in new signings during the January transfer window, including England defender Kieran Trippier and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
But while sources said that head coach Eddie Howe will be backed in the transfer window with substantial funds this summer, agents and clubs have been made aware that Newcastle's new owners will not pay excessive fees or wages in order to bolster their squad.
Newcastle failed in a January attempt to take Lingard on loan for the second half of the season, with Manchester United's owners, the Glazer family, only prepared to offload the 29-year-old in a permanent transfer with a fee attached. But while Lingard will be available on a free transfer when his Old Trafford contract expires at the end of June, sources said that Newcastle's owners will not sanction a substantial signing on fee or excessive wages to land the England international.
Newcastle's stance on Lingard has reverberated around the game, with sources telling ESPN a number of clubs and agents are waiting to see how Newcastle progress in the early weeks of the transfer window before attempting to do business the club. -- Mark Ogden
UEFA's Super Cup quandary
UEFA are considering alternative venues for the 2023 Super Cup, sources told ESPN, with Russian city Kazan still scheduled to host the fixture having been awarded hosting rights in 2020.
All Russian teams have been suspended from UEFA competitions since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February and the European governing body announced earlier this month that the ban would be extended for the entirety of the 2022-23 season, ensuring that no Russian sides would participate in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League or Conference League next season.
The Ak Bars Arena in Kazan, which hosted six games at the 2018 World Cup, had been due to be the first Russian stadium to stage the UEFA Super Cup -- the annual season curtain-raiser between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League -- after being selected as host venue.
But with UEFA stripping Saint Petersburg's Gazprom Arena of hosting rights to this season's Champions League final -- it will now be staged in Paris at the Stade de France -- sources have said that Kazan is facing the same fate. The 2022 Super Cup will be staged at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland, on Aug. 10, with the Europa League winners awaiting the victors of next week's Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool. -- Mark Ogden | https://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/4668539/champions-league-in-seismic-overhaul-with-tennis-style-knockout-change | 2022-05-20T09:24:40Z | https://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/4668539/champions-league-in-seismic-overhaul-with-tennis-style-knockout-change | false | 1 |
Dusting is one of those cleaning tasks we put off repeatedly, along with cleaning out the bin. According to Kim Woodburn, famous for her work on How Clean Is Your House? and her pillar box red nails, we’re making the job way harder than it needs to be.
When we spoke to the cleaning pro recently, she shared a common dusting mistake and how to avoid it. She says that wetting your duster before you begin makes all the difference, cutting the time spent doing chores.
Along with arming ourselves with the best cleaning products, we’ll be following her expert tips and tricks.
Kim Woodburn dusting mistake
We spoke to Kim Woodburn about her first ever cleaning range, now available at Poundland. During our chat, we asked the famous cleaning enthusiast for her best cleaning hack.
‘Well, my loves, if you have a lot of dust don’t just go at it with my feather-ish duster. It will be everywhere in your hair, dropping to the floor and you’ll have a right old mess,’ she says.
‘Take your hand, pop it under the tap and wet it, then run your wet hand along the duster and make it slightly damp.’ Kim Woodburn suggests dusting over the area and your duster will pick up the dust without it spreading.
And when you’re done? ‘Leave the duster to dry and then shake it off in your garden and you’re good to use again,’ Kim Woodburn says.
We reckon this technique will make the fiddly task of cleaning Venetian blinds a little less painful. Plus, as the weather warms up and we leave windows and doors open, our homes can get dustier with pollen and other bits making their way indoors.
So whether you’re dusting your bookshelves, coffee table, light fixtures, or appliances, don’t make the dusting mistake of using a dry duster.
If you’re ready to update your cleaning supplies, bear in mind that the best vacuum cleaners come with attachments to make dusting quicker, too. Happy cleaning, one and all.

From Conway Police Department reports
Break-up threats
On Sunday, police responded to a call from a woman who said her ex-boyfriend had been making threats against her. The woman told police that the ex-boyfriend was “very drunk” while they were arguing over their breakup. The ex came to the woman’s apartment around 10 a.m. because the woman was ignoring his calls and messages, according to the report. The ex knocked on the door and the grandchildren let him into the apartment. The woman threatened to call the police at which point the man went down to the parking lot. While in the parking lot, the man yelled to the woman threatening to run her over with his car, the report stated.
Abusive relationship
Also on Sunday, police responded to a call a little after midnight about a domestic disturbance at an apartment. When police arrived, they saw a woman standing at the front door with significant bruising and bleeding on her arms. When police walked in the house, they saw a man on the phone in the kitchen and instantly placed him in handcuffs, the report stated. When police spoke to the man, they could smell alcohol coming from his breath and he informed police that he had “a couple drinks of whiskey and water” that night, according to the report. He told police that the woman wanted help using the bathroom so he grabbed her arm and then she started yelling. The woman, however, said that the man slapped her across the face before grabbing her arm and pulling on it. The police report stated that her injuries were consistent with her story. The woman told police that the man has been physically and verbally abusive recently and she doesn’t know why. The man was placed under arrest. | https://www.thecabin.net/news/police-beat-5-20-22/article_578aacaa-7d4c-5e18-acd7-fff8f013aed0.html | 2022-05-20T09:29:26Z | https://www.thecabin.net/news/police-beat-5-20-22/article_578aacaa-7d4c-5e18-acd7-fff8f013aed0.html | false | 1 |

A number of female referees are set to officiate the men's World Cup for the first time in history - a decision which has been met with an outpouring of praise.
Three female referees and three assistants will head to Qatar this winter, including Stephanie Frappart, Salima Mukansanga, and Yoshimi Yamashita.
"We clearly emphasise that it is quality that counts for us and not gender," chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee Pierluigi Collina said. "They deserve to be at the FIFA World Cup because they constantly perform at a really high level."

By Shalini Bhardwaj India's cumulative COVID-19 vaccination coverage exceeded 191.96 crore but still a large number of population is unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.
During a meeting with senior health officials of States and Union Territories, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has advised them to expedite COVID-19 vaccination and for this Union Health Ministry is also planning to start "Har Ghar Dastak-2.2" campaign for two months June and July, said sources to ANI. According to the data given by Union Health Ministry on COVID-19 vaccine, more than 193.53 crore vaccine doses are provided to States and UTs and over 16.72 crore unutilized vaccine doses are still available with them.
"The Union Health Secretary has advised those States and UTs who already have extra doses to utilise timely before the expiry of vaccines," said sources. As a part of the nationwide vaccination drive, the government of India has been continuously supporting the States and UTs by providing them with COVID vaccines free of cost.
Over 3.24 crore doses of vaccine have been administered in the age group of 12-14 years. India has reported 2,259 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours and the recovery rate currently stands at 98.75 per cent. (ANI)

While the Covid-19 cases in India are under control, China and Germany are seeing a record-high number of cases. Experts believe the Omicron subvariant BA.2 or “stealth” variant may be the cause. As the world grapples with new variants of the virus and tries to adjust to the new normal, the Russian attack on Ukraine has become the greatest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II. Over 3.3 million refugees have fled Ukraine, more will be internally displaced and the price of oil, food, and critical materials has already soared.
To discuss current global changes and their impact on business, ETILC in association with HSBC has launched The Economic Times ‘Luminary Leadership Series”. This is set to be a four-city initiative of closed-door meetings with senior members of the government and India Inc. The first edition of this series was held in Chennai.
“This is the end of globalization as we know it. There is conflict in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and even some tension in Taiwan. Some of these might be below our radar at the moment but could blow up at any time. The severe consequences of climate change are already upon us. At a time like this, leadership is extremely important since there won’t be going back to any kind of “normal” now. Governments and private organizations will have to constantly navigate uncertainty,” says Jayant Sinha, MP and Former MoS for Finance.
Building Blocks of Organizations
Going forward companies that want to grow must deeply think about three things - perspective, purpose, and people. According to Harvard Business School professor, Ranjay Gulati’s book “Deep Purpose” firms can no longer sustain themselves just with a “convenient purpose”. This is when organizations talk about positively contributing to the world but their actions are detached from the mission. Gulati cites Facebook and Boeing as examples of companies one should not imitate. He argues that companies should have a ‘north-star’, a unifying goal that states how a business will profitably solve business and social problems. For example, Microsoft operates its business, not with the sole aim of catering to shareholders. They move forward with the purpose that Microsoft should make its users productive every day.
“It’s not just enough to have this purpose, you also have to communicate it effectively. Leaders must have a very clear vision and must be able to relay that to employees in a way that inspires them. You also have to lead by example and lead from the front. As a leader you cannot only question those working with you and demand answers, you must also provide workable solutions yourself. There has to be transparency in the way the organization runs. Employees now expect social equity and if we don’t offer them meaningful work and make them feel valued, we are only going to see another wave of the ‘The Great Resignation’,” says Jaya Vaidhyanathan, CEO, BCT Digital.
“The conversation has changed from ‘how do we survive’ to ‘how do we take advantage’ even in a crisis. Companies are focused on innovation and modifying their business models to stay ahead not just for the moment but for the next 10-20 years. Reshaping supply chains and transforming the business to integrate more data and digital methods are some of the dominant conversations,” says Vivek Mandhata, Partner, BCG India
Situational Awareness
According to Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, RN; Ph.D.; FAAN, Distinguished Professor, Emeritus, Loyola University Chicago, “Situational awareness is insightful awakening with the explicit-tacit recognition of what is happening in the now moment in a particular circumstance. The now-moment is all there is; it is the ongoing changing present with evolving circumstances and refers to coming to know the details of a situation. Leaders and followers in all situations should be keenly aware of their surroundings to make informed decisions. The essentials of situational awareness are: committing to apprehending truth for the moment, seeing with uber-vision, and cautiously considering possibilities”.
Jayant Sinha reiterated that this is the kind of awareness that dynamic political and business leaders need today. Technologies, places, and people that may seem unconnected to you or your organization may have a significant impact on the way you run your business. Thus to foresee such changes, extensive reading of news and reports from multiple countries and sources is necessary apart from sector-related business reports that are part of the CEO’s daily information consumption.
Geopolitical Changes
Contrary to the kind of collaboration the world saw when it came to dealing with the pandemic, there are now faultlines developing across the world. While certain parts of the world are leaning towards democracy, others are leaning towards autocracy. There is also no longer consensus on what the facts are as misinformation has become rampant. Businesses can no longer expect consistency in business operations across the globe.
“In addition to physical warfare, cyberwarfare has become a large medium of attack for nation-states. It is heartening to know that the Indian government and finance committee are focused on cybersecurity and are taking steps to keep our systems secure,” says Pradeep Sekar, Director, Optiv Security India
Goals for India
80% of India’s jobs are provided by the private sector. The government employs only 20%, contrary to the general perception. Thus, the private sector is what is funding the government and a large onus lies on this segment, to innovate and create more opportunities. The external incentives and tax cuts provided by the government cannot be the sole drivers for this change.
“Apart from creating trust with the customer, with WFH becoming an essential part of daily work life, there is a need to create immense trust with employees. As leaders, we have to aim to create not just the best Indian products and services, but output that will be consisted best in class worldwide,” says Ram Singampalli, COO, Hexaware Technologies

Employees now expect social equity and if we don’t offer them meaningful work and make them feel valued, we are only going to see another wave of the ‘The Great Resignation’,” says Jaya Vaidhyanathan, CEO, BCT Digital.
“The conversation has changed from ‘how do we survive’ to ‘how do we take advantage’ even in a crisis. Companies are focused on innovation and modifying their business models to stay ahead not just for the moment but for the next 10-20 years. Reshaping supply chains and transforming the business to integrate more data and digital methods are some of the dominant conversations,” says Vivek Mandhata, Partner, BCG India
Situational Awareness
According to Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, RN; Ph.D.; FAAN, Distinguished Professor, Emeritus, Loyola University Chicago, “Situational awareness is insightful awakening with the explicit-tacit recognition of what is happening in the now moment in a particular circumstance. The now-moment is all there is; it is the ongoing changing present with evolving circumstances and refers to coming to know the details of a situation. Leaders and followers in all situations should be keenly aware of their surroundings to make informed decisions. The essentials of situational awareness are: committing to apprehending truth for the moment, seeing with uber-vision, and cautiously considering possibilities”.
Jayant Sinha reiterated that this is the kind of awareness that dynamic political and business leaders need today. Technologies, places, and people that may seem unconnected to you or your organization may have a significant impact on the way you run your business. Thus to foresee such changes, extensive reading of news and reports from multiple countries and sources is necessary apart from sector-related business reports that are part of the CEO’s daily information consumption.
Geopolitical Changes
Contrary to the kind of collaboration the world saw when it came to dealing with the pandemic, there are now faultlines developing across the world. While certain parts of the world are leaning towards democracy, others are leaning towards autocracy. There is also no longer consensus on what the facts are as misinformation has become rampant. Businesses can no longer expect consistency in business operations across the globe.
“In addition to physical warfare, cyberwarfare has become a large medium of attack for nation-states. It is heartening to know that the Indian government and finance committee are focused on cybersecurity and are taking steps to keep our systems secure,” says Pradeep Sekar, Director, Optiv Security India
Goals for India
80% of India’s jobs are provided by the private sector. The government employs only 20%, contrary to the general perception. Thus, the private sector is what is funding the government and a large onus lies on this segment, to innovate and create more opportunities. The external incentives and tax cuts provided by the government cannot be the sole drivers for this change.
“Apart from creating trust with the customer, with WFH becoming an essential part of daily work life, there is a need to create immense trust with employees. As leaders, we have to aim to create not just the best Indian products and services, but output that will be consisted best in class worldwide,” says Ram Singampalli, COO, Hexaware Technologies

Held on May 5, organisers were lucky with beautiful weather.
There were four groups of six with great game play all round.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the versatility format, particularly giving shooting a go.
The winners of each group went into a semi-final seeing Mayfair Vixens face Luton Tornadoes and Grangers Blaze take on Westoning Diamonds.
With two tough semis played, Mayfair Vixens and Grangers Blaze made it to the finals with Jackie Stigwood and Jadine Brome umpiring.
The game saw Grangers take an early lead with some lovely shooting from Beth and Kellise and soon they were 6-0 ahead.
But Mayfair Vixens were determined to fight back, with some excellent defensive play by their GD Fay and some super interceptions by their WA Katie.
Grangers kept their heads and managed to maintain their lead, winning comfortably in the end.
It was a great game by both teams and good umpiring.
There were some fabulous crazy socks and dressing up, particularly from Cranfield Gems and Bedford Foxes.
But the winners of the crazy socks competition were Absolute, with matching socks, hair and face paint.
Cranfield Comets won the sportsmanship prize.
The final amount raised was £1,230 which will all be donated to St John’s Hospice at Moggerhanger. | https://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/sport/football/hockey-masters-turn-on-the-style-3701716 | 2022-05-20T09:40:33Z | https://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/sport/football/hockey-masters-turn-on-the-style-3701716 | true | 2 |

SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator: May notifications 1.97%
WINDSOR, Conn., May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced that the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for May 2022 measured 1.97%, up from 1.48% in April.
"SS&C GlobeOp's Forward Redemption Indicator for May 2022 was 1.97%, representing a decrease in termination notices compared to the 2.46% reported for the same period a year ago," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "This reduction in terminations continues the recent favorable trend in hedge fund asset retention and is especially noteworthy as it comes in the wake of significant declines in equity and fixed income markets."
The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator represents the sum of forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform, divided by the AuA at the beginning of the month for SS&C GlobeOp fund administration clients on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Forward redemptions as a percentage of SS&C GlobeOp's assets under administration on the SS&C GlobeOp platform have trended significantly lower since reaching a high of 19.27% in November 2008. The next publication date is June 21, 2022.
Published on the 15th business day of the month, the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator presents a timely and accurate view of the redemption pipeline for investors in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Movements in the Indicator reflect investor confidence in their allocations to hedge funds. Indicator data is based on actual investor redemption notifications received. Unlike subscriptions, redemption notifications are typically received 30-90 days in advance of the redemption date. Investors may, and sometimes do, cancel redemption notices. In addition, the establishment and enforcement of redemption notices may vary from fund to fund.

Four Tet – “Looking At Your Pager”
Since his last venture as Four Tet (2020’s Parallel and Sixteen Oceans), Kieran Hebden, aka the UK veteran electronic-music connoisseur, did an emoji-laden, year-long livestream. Some of that material in the livestream was formally released on Christmas Day 2020 across both Parallel and 871, the latter of which came out under Hebden’s 00110100 01010100 moniker. Also in 2020, Hebden released a very limited 12-inch with Burial and Thom Yorke called Her Revolution / His Rope. The next year, he got together with Madlib for a collaborative project, Sound Ancestors. Last we really heard from Hebden, though, was when he filed a lawsuit against former label Domino Records claiming damages over the royalty rate for many of the records he’d released with them. (Since a settlement couldn’t be reached, the case will be decided by a judge of the Business and Property Courts of the High Court of Justice, and, in November 2021, three Four Tet albums were removed from streaming services.) Anyway, this is just a long way of saying that Hebden / Four Tet is back now with new music! “Looking At Your Pager” samples 3LW’s 2000 classic “No More (Baby I’ma Do Right).” I think Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Naturi Naughton would be proud.

The event came off on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at the Ghana Academy of Arts of Sciences near the Airport Residential Area in Accra.
The Black Star: First copy of CK Gyamfi’s autobiography bought for 20,000
The autobiography of legendary Ghanaian footballer Charles Kumi (CK) Gyamfi, titled ‘The Black Star’, has been successfully launched.
The book, which was co-written with the prolific Fiifi Anaman, captures the life story of the late Gyamfi, who passed away in 2015.
During the auction of the book, the first copy was bought by politician Kwabena Osei-Bonsu for a whopping GHc20,000.
The second copy was also purchased by Kwaku Ofori, with three other anonymous persons donating a sum of GHc5,000 each.
The launch was attended by several ex-footballers, including Anthony Baffoe, George Alhassan, Hesse Odamtten, Sampson Lamptey and Abdul Razak.
Meanwhile, all of CK Gyamfi’s sons were also present, as the autobiography of the ex-footballer and coach was launched.
Gyamfi remains one of the most decorated sporting icons from Ghana, having achieved a lot on and off the field.
He was the first African to play in Germany after joining Fortuna Dusseldorf. He also lined up for both Hearts of Oak and Germany during his playing career.
The late Gyamfi also led Ghana to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and remains one of the just two managers to have won the AFCON three times.
Meanwhile, the net proceeds from the legendary sportsman’s book auction will go into the CK Gyamfi Foundation.
According to his son, Edwin Gyamfi, the money will then be used to support grassroots football in the country.

Union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw made the country’s first 5G call at IIT Madras earlier this week. The call was placed over a trial network that was set up using telecom equipment that has been completely designed and made in India. This achievement was one of the biggest moments for the country’s first 5G test bed, and the development of indigenous 5G teleconnectivity.
India has been one of the largest markets for 4G connectivity. However, rolling out 5G calling and 5G internet has been rather challenging, mainly because of security issues. Countries like the USA and UK already have 5G calling services in several areas and are even providing 5G internet in select places. Over the next decade, these countries plan to expand their 5G internet coverage rapidly.
So how were the 5G voice and 5G internet network, set up? We take a look, but first, we need to understand some basic things about 5G networks.
What is 5G Calling or 5G Voice?
Very broadly speaking, 5G networks can be divided into two classes - High 5G Frequency Bands which operate in the 3200-4200MHz channels, and Very High 5G Frequency Bands or Millimetre Wave (MMW) which operate between 20-96GHz. Unfortunately, the higher the frequency that a network operates on, the more limited the range. All the statements that you see people giving about ultrafast internet connections where they’re getting speeds of above 1GBPS or above, are using MMW 5G.
5G calling basically operates within the High-Frequency Bands, i.e. between 3200-4200Mhz. These bands can still carry data or the internet, and these will be significantly faster than your regular 4G networks, but they are nowhere near the speeds that 5G is advertised for.
To put things in perspective, a really strong 4G connection will top out at about 100Mbps (the theoretical limit is 300, under laboratory conditions). High 5G Frequency Bands easily give you 300-500Mbps speeds in real life settings. 5G MMW will easily give you about 900Mbps to 1.5Gbps, with a theoretical top speed of 10Gbps.
How does a 5G network improve call quality?
5G voice or 5G call operates on the lower frequencies of High 5G Frequency Bands, i.e. under 4200 MHz. In 5G, the default voice codec in 5G smartphones enables “HD voice+”, using the 3GPP standardized Enhanced Voice Services (EVS). EVS can already be used in 4G networks but is not mandatory. To put it simply, the call connectivity is much better, and when implemented properly, it would lead to far better voice clarity than what we get today. Furthermore, there will be a significant reduction in call drops. On top of all this, calls will also connect quicker, theoretically at least. Another benefit would be that group calls will sound significantly better, and can handle more callers.
Are all 5G smartphones capable of using the 5G Network that was tested in IIT Madras?
Technically, yes and no. Different 5G bandwidths use different 5G antennas and transmitters. Hence you will see a massive number of 5G Bands in a smartphone’s spec sheet. The most popular 5G bands in smartphones in India are N77 and N78. Both of these bands rest in the mid-range. Having said that, there are phones available in the market that offer around 13 5G bands but you should know that the band’s frequency matter more than the number of bands offered.
So, theoretically, if in an area, the network that is deployed uses the lowest spectrums of 5G, devices with only the mid-range or high-range bands won’t work well on 5G. There will be some connectivity, but not one that utilises the full potential.
What was the type of 5G network that was tested in India?
Given that all communications go through the hardware that these 4G and 5G networks operate on, it is vital that we do not expose ourselves to any security vulnerabilities. Hence, we had to develop our own 5G-enabling hardware. The test calls that IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw was a part of, operated on the mid-tier spectrums of the High 5G Frequency Bands, meaning that they would be able to carry voice, as well data. Although the data will not have the transfer speeds that we see in 5G MMW, it will still be significantly faster than 4G, and the voice calls will have much better clarity and stable connections.

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton stole the show as she attended London premiere of Top Gun: Maverick with husband Prince William in Leicester Square.
Kate Middleton brought her fashion A-game for the occasion.
The Duchess and Prince William joined stars including Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly and Val Kilmer on the red carpet in Leicester Square.
Later, they shared photos and video clips on their official Instagram handle.
“Wonderful to join @tomcruise, cast, crew and fans of Top Gun: Maverick for this evening’s UK premiere.
"The premiere is in support of the work of @filmtvcharity which helps the tens of thousands of people working behind the scenes in the UK’s world-leading film and television industry.”
‘Top Gun: Maverick’, a much anticipated sequel to the 1986 blockbuster, was originally scheduled for release in July 2019 but was initially delayed because of production issues. Its release was then pushed back numerous times because of the global pandemic.
Thursday's show may not be the first time William and Kate have seen the movie. Cruise reportedly invited the royals previously for a private screening. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/417976-kate-middleton-steals-the-limelight-at-premiere-of-top-gun-maverick | 2022-05-20T09:57:23Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/417976-kate-middleton-steals-the-limelight-at-premiere-of-top-gun-maverick | false | 1 |
