Chilling photos shared by Gloucestershire Constabulary show the extent of the county-wide knife amnesty with dozens of blades handed in so far this week. The force is taking part in the national campaign, Operation Sceptre, which ends on Sunday (May 22).
The campaign aims to take bladed weapons off the streets, with dedicated amnesty bins located in police stations around Gloucestershire. Recent tweets from Glos Neighbourhood Police show the range of knives that have been surrendered so far.
The images show a butcher's knife, long blades and a large number of kitchen knives. It has been revealed that officers collected 28 blades during a haul carried out alongside local support housing schemes yesterday (May 20).

The stations where items can be handed in are at Hester's Way, Cheltenham, Bearlands, Gloucester, Stroud, Cirencester and Coleford. Members of the public are advised to use newspaper or cardboard to wrap a knife, ensuring enough material to prevent it from piercing through.
Superintendent Jane Probert said: "Violent crime has increased in the UK in recent years and Gloucestershire has been no exception to this. While the figures show that knife crime is actually lower here than in many other areas, we understand there have been some tragic cases in the county and that people have huge concerns about it.
"This campaign is part of wider work we are doing with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and partner agencies to ensure we tackle the issue and work to make our streets safer. The surrender will prevent weapons from getting into the wrong hands whilst providing members of the community with a safe place to dispose of any knives they may have, whether held lawfully or unlawfully."
Officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary have also been attending schools and colleges across the county this week to educate young people about knife crime.
At the end of last year, 16-year-old Ramarni Crosby was tragically stabbed to death in Gloucester. More recently, a man sustained serious injuries in a stabbing in Tuffley.
Gloucestershire Constabulary are expected to release the total number of surrendered knives at the beginning of next week. The amnesty is set to finish on Sunday.

Manchester City has history on its side ahead of the final-day title showdown with Liverpool in the English Premier League.
Sunday will mark the ninth time in the Premier League era — since 1992 — that the title race has been decided in the last round.
On each of the previous eight occasions, the team in first place before kickoff went on to clinch the championship.
City leads Liverpool by one point and they both finish with home games — against Aston Villa and Wolverhampton, respectively.
Every league leader playing at home to finish the season has won that game, most famously City in 2012 when Roberto Mancini’s team scored twice in stoppage time to defeat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 and beat Manchester United to the title.
A look at the eight Premier League seasons to go the distance:
1994-95
Blackburn won its first — and so far only — title in the Premier League era despite losing on the final day at Liverpool 2-1. Manchester United started the day two points behind in second place and could only draw 1-1 at West Ham, whose goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko produced a slew of magnificent saves.
1995-96
Alex Ferguson’s Man United bounced back to win the title the following year, this time having no problems on a final-day fight with Newcastle’s team of entertainers under Kevin Keegan. United had a two-point lead and won at Middlesbrough 3-0 while Newcastle, which led the standings by 12 points in February, drew with Tottenham 1-1.
1998-99
Another title for Man United, which needed to come from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 at home and hold off Arsenal by a point. Arsenal did its job by beating Aston Villa 1-0 and was given hope by Les Ferdinand’s early goal for Tottenham. David Beckham equalized for United and Andy Cole’s deft lob in the 47th minute ultimately proved decisive.
2007-08
Both Man United and Chelsea entered the final day on 84 points, with United leading on goal difference. United beat Wigan 2-0 away thanks to goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, while Chelsea could only draw at Bolton 1-1 after conceding a late equalizer. United and Chelsea would meet in the Champions League final 10 days later — and again United prevailed after a penalty shootout.
2009-10
Chelsea left nothing to chance in its bid to stay ahead of Man United and end its rival’s three-season reign as champion. An 8-0 thrashing of Wigan at Stamford Bridge, which included a hat trick by Didier Drogba, was Chelsea’s biggest victory in its history and took the team past 100 goals for the season. United beat Stoke 4-0 but finished a point back in second place.
2011-12
The most thrilling finish to a Premier League season — perhaps even in top-flight history — saw Man City become English champion for the first time in 44 years. Stoppage-time goals by Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero were needed for a 3-2 victory over Queens Park Rangers, which started the game under the threat of relegation. United had completed its 1-0 win at Sunderland before Aguero scored to clinch the title on goal difference for City.
2013-14
Man City left it to the last day for its second Premier League title, too, but this was less of a rollercoaster ride than two years earlier. A routine 2-0 win at home to West Ham was secured by goals from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany, and it was enough to hold off Liverpool, which finished two points behind following a 2-1 home win over Newcastle.
2018-19
City started the final day a point ahead of Liverpool — like this season — but it looked like there could be a twist to the title race when Pep Guardiola’s team fell behind to Brighton in the 27th minute, with Liverpool already leading against Wolverhampton. Aguero equalized within a minute and City wound up a 4-1 winner, making redundant Liverpool’s 2-0 victory at Anfield.

Our lives have been ruined by the council’s strict parking cameras – it feels like we’re living in North Korea
FUMING residents say they feel like they are living in "North Korea" after a camera system installed by a council to cut traffic has made their lives a misery.
Locals in Fulham, south west London, are forced to log every single vehicle that enters an exclusion zone with ticketing company RingGo if a motor is not registered with a council permit.
It means everyone from outside the borough, including tradesman, carers and pals of residents have to ensure they are registered by a permit holder to even think about getting into the surveillance zone.
The scheme - slammed as "abuse" by one resident - was brought in by Hammersmith & Fulham Council to cut traffic in the borough and stop "rat running" cars taking shortcuts down sleepy streets.
The council also argue the scheme was intended to cut pollution, which they claim has fallen "12 percent" since the cameras were installed in July 2020.
But some residents insist the opposite has happened and vehicles are are forced onto a single lane road leading to "horrific" congestion with no other route options to ease pressure off a major choke point.
Resident Caroline Shuffrey said the scheme has also seen women getting "kicked out" of Uber taxis late at night because drivers don't want to risk the hefty £60 fine for entering the zone.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, the 66-year-old said: "It's abuse. We have been abused.
"My daughter had to walk 15-minutes at two-in-the-morning because her Uber kicked her out and did not want to go any further."
One resident told The Sun a woman with cancer requiring specialist support is living a "nightmare" since the cameras were brought in as she struggles to make plans to go to and from the hospital.
Most read in Motors
The exclusion zone runs alongside the east side of single lane Wandsworth Bridge Road, one of the busiest routes in the borough, in the Sands End ward.
But the scheme could be expanded much further and one day could even swallow the entire borough under a Low Traffic Neighbourhood scheme, according to plans seen by The Sun.
Supporters of the scheme insist there was "extensive" consultation before the cameras were thrown up, but opponents claim this was "minimal".
Speaking to The Sun, one resident claimed any form of discussion with the council on addressing the issues or to seek an alternative to camera carnage is akin to "North Korea".
The council - which is Labour run - said they did not recognise such a label.
Supporters of the cameras told The Sun there are specific routes which if taken in and out of the zone mean cameras can be avoided.
But those unaware of this, like carers and tradespeople, are regularly fined and it makes simply getting around "a nightmare".
In one stand out incident, one resident said they had to walk their elderly mother-in-law to the edge of the zone just to get them in a taxi.
'HORRIFIC'
They "fear" for the elderly who don't have help and don't hold permits meaning family can't visit and must park outside the area.
Donald Grant who lives on Wandsworth Bridge Road says conditions are now "horrific" thanks to the "brainless" inventors of the scheme who have forced traffic onto his road with no other options.
He said those behind the scheme "need to go back to school".
Another resident living on the same road who only gave their name as Jamie claimed the cameras have made his road "dangerous".
He explained: "The increased traffic has led to it being a total standstill most evenings and particularly on Friday, people often fail to stop at pedestrian crossings and it has become quite dangerous."
The cameras are hammering local businesses, too.
Georgiana George who runs a multi-award winning guest house and her own psychotherapy practice says she has "very much" taken a hit from the cameras.
The impact has been so devastating that her guest house has fallen in popularity since the cameras were brought into force and clients complain they are getting walloped with fines.
But many residents are supportive of the cameras and those set to have them installed as part of a scheme have welcomed them, arguing they will stop rat runner vehicles diving down their streets.
A resident who only gave his name as Sej admitted the system where residents have to register pal's number plates is "a pain" and "difficult".
Though he added: "I think in terms of blocking through traffic from going through residential streets I think it is the right decision."
'GET OUT YOUR CAR'
Another resident said: "That Labour continued to hold Sands End ward and the council as a whole in the recent elections suggests there isn’t significant dissatisfaction with the scheme."
One person who did not want to be named, slammed: "The world can’t have it all.
"If you want a better environment you need to get out of your car."
Uber taxis have adapted their systems to ensure drivers can navigate the zone.
But decisions made while driving in the area are ultimately taken by the driver, meaning fares could still be kicked out when the driver sees a warning sign.
A council spokesperson said: "This pioneering air quality scheme was designed by residents working with our environmental engineers to tackle a decades-old traffic problem.
"All residents get free access everywhere but it stops rat-running by out-of-borough motorists.
"It makes life better by reducing NOx pollution by 60% while taking one tonne of CO2 and 8,000 cars a day off our streets.
"That’s why residents are now asking us to trial it to the west of Wandsworth Bridge Road.”
"Fifty-six sensors attached to existing lamp columns have been monitoring multiple particulates and gases across South Fulham.
"The data, used alongside the latest smart tech traffic monitoring systems, helps explain the effect of traffic reduction on air pollution and has enabled the council to develop measures to reduce traffic, congestion and pollution." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/18618595/traffic-cameras-north-korea-wandsworth-london-ltn/ | 2022-05-20T13:46:24Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/18618595/traffic-cameras-north-korea-wandsworth-london-ltn/ | true | 5 |
BERLIN (AP) — A school employee was seriously wounded by an assailant wielding a crossbow in an attack Thursday at a high school in the northern German city of Bremerhaven and a suspect was detained, investigators said.
Police said they were alerted at 9:15 a.m. to someone having entered the Lloyd High School in the port city and wounding one person with a weapon.
They said the suspect, a 21-year-old man, was detained near the school shortly afterward without putting up resistance. Students stayed in classrooms while police searched the building. They were evacuated around lunchtime after investigators determined there were no other perpetrators on the premises.
The wounded woman was taken to a hospital and her life was still in danger, prosecutor Oliver Constien said.
The assailant used a crossbow, and Constien said the weapon was found when he was detained, the German news agency dpa reported. Investigators also seized a blank gun and two knives.
The investigation so far indicates that “a particular psychological disposition may have contributed” to the attack, Constien said. He added that investigators would work to determine whether the suspect knew the victim. There was no immediate word on a possible motive.
About 200 students were at the school and final exams had been scheduled, dpa reported. It wasn’t immediately clear how many teachers and other employees were on the premises at the time. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/international/germany-1-person-wounded-1-detained-in-school-shooting/ | 2022-05-20T13:46:44Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/international/germany-1-person-wounded-1-detained-in-school-shooting/ | false | 20 |

- Credibility:
WARNING: Some photos in this story show blood.
NEAR NORTH SIDE — Blood remained on the sidewalk, with commuters and their pets walking through it, early Friday morning after a mass shooting left two dead and eight wounded on the Near North Side.
The shooting happened 10:41 p.m. in the 800 block of North State Street, police said. One of the victims — who asked that he be identified only by his first name, Shaun — said it stemmed from a fight outside a McDonald’s.
The fight escalated, and someone pulled out a gun, Shaun said. Shaun and others tried to make the man put away his gun, and someone tried to grab it, Shaun it. Someone shot the gun, hitting Shaun twice, he said.
Shaun said he wasn’t sure what happened next — but more people were shot, including his cousin.
Ultimately, five people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals, with the shooting requiring extra ambulances and resources due to the number of victims, said Fire Department spokesman Juan Hernandez. Two adult men were pronounced dead at Northwestern and Stroger hospitals.
Two other adult men were hospitalized in serious condition, Hernandez said. A 43-year-old woman was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where her condition was unknown but she had stabilized, Hernandez said.
Several people who had been wounded in the shooting also took themselves to local hospitals, Hernandez said.
Amid the chaos after the shooting, a woman in her early 20s fell onto the tracks at the nearby Red Line station, Hernandez said. She was burned and was taken to Stroger Hospital.
Officials shut off power to trains as police searched for the gunman and to help the woman, Hernandez said. People who had been on one Red Line train stuck between stations during the shutoff were evacuated.
Someone was taken into a custody, and a gun was found, police said. The investigation was ongoing.
The McDonald’s was open the next morning, workers filling orders despite the eatery’s windows being shattered.
Shaun, 29, returned to the block Friday morning, still wearing a medical wristband and hospital socks. He was dismayed to see blood and medical supplies still on the sidewalk, with people just walking around — or through — it nearly 12 hours after the shooting.
“They need to clean this s— up,” Shaun said. “That’s my blood. That’s my cousin’s blood.”
Shaun said he would be worried about what consequences he could face were he to testify against the gunman.
“It can be street justice. It could be anything. It could be money loss. It could be everything going wrong in your life,” Shaun said. “It don’t have to be nothing even harmful. … It could be like 20-some years from now. … It’s gonna hit you back.”
Gun violence in the 18th District, where the shooting occurred, has risen significantly this year. There were four shootings reported in the district by this time last year, but now the area has seen 13 so far this year.
“This is disturbing to my residents,” said Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd), who represents the area where the shooting occurred. “Something like this, it just rocks you to your core.”
Hopkins noted the shooting happened the same night the city started its 6 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied youth at Millennium Park. Mayor Lori Lightfoot created the controversial curfew this week after a 16-year-old was shot and killed at the Bean.
“Clearly, that is not the solution,” Hopkins said. “We can’t live like this as a society.”
Hopkins said he and others are “horrified” by Chicago’s struggles with violence, which surged at the start of the pandemic and has remained high.
“Clearly, we’re out of answers right now,” Hopkins said. | https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/05/20/mass-shooting-on-near-north-side-kills-2-people-wounds-8/ | 2022-05-20T13:50:03Z | https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/05/20/mass-shooting-on-near-north-side-kills-2-people-wounds-8/ | true | 1 |

As the country waits for the Supreme Court to reveal its final decision on Roe v. Wade, McNair Academic High School students will lead a pro-choice rally in front of Jersey City City Hall Sunday.
The event, which is expected to include Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and other elected officials, was organized in response to the leak of a draft U.S. Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade that would leave it to the states to decide the legality of abortion.
“I feel like there was always a thought back in my mind that it was inevitable, it just kind of came as a shock,” rally organizer Aleyna Kilic, a 17-year-old junior, told The Jersey Journal. “We are trying to encourage people to donate to access funds, email legislators, just any way they can get involved.
“It is more (to help) people in states like Texas, Mississippi and Ohio who are getting extreme bans (on abortion).”
Kilic said several friends of hers have helped her create signs, fliers and other ways to get out the word about the event, which will include speakers from Planned Parenthood, a nonprofit organization that provides reproductive health care.
This is the second pro-choice rally led by the McNair Academic High School students. Kilic and her friends hosted an abortion rally at city hall in October.
She said other possible speakers include representatives of Hudson Pride Center, the New Jersey Abortion Access Fund, Jersey City Housing Authority Executive Director Vivian Brady-Phillips and City Council President Joyce Watterman.
In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law in January preserving the legal right to obtain an abortion in the state. Murphy signed the bill fearful the nation’s highest court would strike down the 1973 decision that made abortion legal at the federal level.
“Just because the Supreme Court (decides) something doesn’t mean legislators can’t do anything about it,” said Kilic, an intern for Councilman-at-large Daniel Rivera. “So, if the Supreme Court does overturn Roe v. Wade, Congress could codify it just like New Jersey, New York and seven other states have.” | https://www.nj.com/hudson/2022/05/mcnair-academic-students-to-host-pro-choice-rally-outside-jersey-city-city-hall.html | 2022-05-20T14:03:32Z | https://www.nj.com/hudson/2022/05/mcnair-academic-students-to-host-pro-choice-rally-outside-jersey-city-city-hall.html | false | 1 |

Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, the former media executive and socialite accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora in 2012, was released Friday bail today. She Indrani Mukherjea walked out of bail, a day after the Supreme Court’s order. She could not be released Thursday as the paperwork could not be completed on time. “We are granting bail to Indrani Mukerjea. 6.5 years is too long a time to spend in prison as an accused as the investigation goes on,” the apex court had said Thursday.
Indrani has been in a Mumbai jail since 2015. She had approached the Supreme Court in February after being denied bail repeatedly by a special CBI court. The Supreme Court agreed that she was entitled to bail as she had ‘already spent a long time’ in prison. Bail has been granted with conditions like not leaving the country and not contacting witnesses.

Indrani’s husband Peter Mukerjea, arrested on charges of helping her, was released bail in 2020.
The murder of 24-year-old Sheena Bora took place in April 2012, the police said. Her body was dumped in Raigad, adjacent to Mumbai. Sheena was the unacknowledged daughter of Indrani, who was introduced in public as her sister. Sheena was also engaged to Rahul Mukerjea, Peter’s son from an earlier marriage. It was a relationship that her mother disapproved of strongly.
The murder remained undiscovered for three years, during which time, Indrani allegedly told friends and family that Sheena had left for the US.
While still in jail, Indrani and Peter Mukerjea ended their 17-year relationship and were granted a divorce in 2019. | https://www.orissapost.com/finally-indrani-mukherjea-walks-out-of-prison-after-more-than-6-years/ | 2022-05-20T14:05:33Z | https://www.orissapost.com/finally-indrani-mukherjea-walks-out-of-prison-after-more-than-6-years/ | true | 2 |

US President Joe Biden met with Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and Finnish President Sauli Niinistöon on the morning of May 19 in Washington to discuss their NATO membership applications. "Having two new NATO members in the high north will enhance the security of our alliance and deepen our security cooperation across the board," Biden said. "New members joining NATO is not a threat to any nation," the US President added. It comes as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed Ankara would continue to block the Swedish and Finnish bids "in a determined fashion," while reiterating his claims that Sweden is a "terror haven."
Why would Sweden and Finland joining NATO be significant?
Sweden and Finland, while firmly in the Western camp, have traditionally followed a policy of nonalignment with NATO to avoid drawing the ire of Moscow. However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has changed the security calculus in northern Europe, leading to the landmark policy shift. The military commanders of NATO countries met in Brussels earlier on May 19, a day after receiving the membership applications from Sweden and Finland.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said it was a "crucial and dangerous time for Euro-Atlantic security." He added that although Russia's war in Ukraine has changed the security environment, President Vladimir Putin was failing in his strategic objectives. "Ukraine stands, NATO remains strong, and trans-Atlantic unity is solid," Stoltenberg said. The defence heads meeting comes ahead of a major NATO summit planned for June in Madrid, during which NATO will adopt a new "strategic concept."
Why is Turkey blocking Sweden and Finland's NATO bid?
The row hinges on what Ankara perceives as Swedish and Finnish support for Kurdish political parties like the PKK as well as the Fetullah Gulen movement, the latter of which the Turkish governnment accuses of instigating the 2016 coup. They are considered terrorist organizations in Turkey. The PKK is considered terrorist by the EU, too. NATO membership requires consensus from all 30 member states. "NATO is a security alliance and we cannot accept terrorists to be in it," Erdogan also said.
However, Stoltenberg said that Turkey's "concerns" were being addressed. "It is not uncommon in NATO to have differing opinions on major decisions. We have much experience in NATO, when there is a difference of opinion, of sitting down and finding solutions," he told journalists in Copenhagen, where he had met with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Defense Minister Morten Bodskov.
NATO leaders confident Sweden, Finland will join
Stoltenberg reiterated that he is confident the dispute will be resolved and Sweden and Finland will join the alliance soon. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on May 19 that Germany was doing everything possible to make the bids succeed. At a news conference with his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte, Scholz reiterated that Germany welcomed the Nordic countries' bids and said he had the impression many other countries shared his view. "If you identify a general will, then it is that Sweden and Finland should quickly become members so I am confident that the many efforts that are underway to enable a joint decision will be successful," Scholz said.

Norwegian knife attacks were domestic dispute
By EUobserver
Friday's knife attacks in a village in Norway were carried out by a Syrian man but linked to a domestic dispute rather than religion or politics, Norwegian police say. "This is a family from Syria where the perpetrator is married to one of the victims," a police statement said, Reuters said. "There is no longer a danger to other people," a police spokesperson added. | https://euobserver.com/tickers/155019?utm_source=euobs&utm_medium=rss | 2022-05-20T14:17:30Z | https://euobserver.com/tickers/155019?utm_source=euobs&utm_medium=rss | false | null |
Happy Friday, South Florida!
Hopefully everyone had a great week! The weekend is finally upon us and there are some major weather changes already underway. For one, the clear skies we have been waking up to every day this week have turned cloudy while South Florida woke up to heavy downpours and strong thunderstorms earlier this morning. Muggy conditions and mild temperatures also started our Friday and the high humidity is expected to stick around.
Across the Caribbean, we find a westward moving tropical wave that has been producing heavy rains across Central America. At the same time, we find an area of low pressure in the Caribbean that is helping funnel in this tropical moisture northward. This tropical moisture is being pushed towards South Florida, which is why we are seeing an increase in cloud cover and rain across our area.
So for today we can expect on and off downpours with a few thunderstorms possible from time to time. How much rain we get throughout the day will be highly dependent on how much of this tropical moisture holds together. One thing is for sure, the potential for heavy rain will remain in the forecast on and off throughout the day today. Our temperatures this afternoon won’t be nearly as steamy as we have seen in previous days due to the thicker cloud deck and the higher rain chances in the forecast.
Looking ahead, if the above mentioned tropical moisture actually holds together longer than expected, then the unsettled weather pattern could linger into the upcoming weekend. As of now, models are suggesting that the bulk of the moisture will be concentrated further north of our area for the upcoming weekend while a later of Saharan Dust moves over South Florida. This would help suppress rain formation over our area. So even if that pans out, a few seabreeze showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm will still be possible. There is still lots of uncertainty with the weekend forecast so, for now, if you have any outdoor plans for the upcoming weekend, it might be a good idea to have a plan B,…just in case!
Have a wonderful weekend!

“The Square is a sanctuary, a zone of trust and care”.
There is no better subject for the Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund than that of the human mind, with the filmmaker consistently probing into the careful layers of the human psyche that are constantly manipulated by the construct of social expectation.
Consistently focusing on fragile, lost characters who find themselves like a deer in the headlights as the result of one small act, the cinema of Östlund squirms with 21st-century awkwardness. Whilst this awkwardness can come from the result of one’s own pride, such as in the protagonist of 2014s Force Majeure who refuses to acknowledge his failures as a father, 2011s Play also demonstrated how these emotions can be manipulated by others, forcing you to act out of character.
“All my films are about people trying to avoid losing face,” Östlund told The Guardian back in 2018, with no film demonstrating this better than his Palme d’Or winning satire of the art world, The Square. Telling the story of a fashionable chief art curator of the Stockholm museum, Östlund’s protagonist (Claes Bang)is a pretentious figure, lost somewhere between being a bastion of artistic taste and being an aspirational citizen of contemporary life outside of the museum’s four walls.
Tasked with riding the line of good and bad taste, it is the job of Bang’s Christian to maintain the balance of provocative intrigue and acceptable classical art, as the pretentious spectacle of contemporary art meets the ornate landscape paintings of yesteryear. Forced into taking more risks, Christian’s museum is filled with several surprises, including the titular ‘Square’, whose plaque reads, “a sanctuary, a zone of trust and care”.
Despite anyone and anything able to inhabit this space, the Square has been constructed as an art exhibition and a performance, wherein we trust the evidence of ‘art’. Though, as Östlund frequently asks throughout the film, among several other pressing questions, what is the line between art and fraudulence? Similarly, what is the line between authenticity and fiction? What can we believe? Who do we trust?
Such polarising questions make Östlund’s film such a joy to watch, illustrated at the moment when an artist, pulling off a staggering impression of a gorilla, begins to bound across a packed dining hall, leaping on top of the tables on all fours. The guests save face believing it is all part of the performance, and it is or is it? The lines are blurred when the dedicated performer taunts a woman and drags her to the floor, a moment that undoubtedly goes too far, despite the majority of the room waiting till the very last minute to do something about it.
Not wanting to be the one to ‘break the performance’, each of the diners is complicit in their middle-class wish for assimilation, they don’t want to ruin the ‘art’. They don’t want to rock the boat.
As a satire of the modern art world, there is certainly some truth to the words of Östlund, with the concurrent Cannes Film Festival consistently coming across this same question of the line between art and nonsense. Authenticity and fiction. Constantly changing the goalposts for what is and what isn’t considered acceptable. In fact, cinema, in general, has always struggled with this.
Whilst some booed at Gaspar Noé’s Palme d’Or nominee, Irréversible, in 2002, a film that features a graphic and extended rape scene, others likely sat and stroked their chins at the ‘masterpiece’ before them. Is it a masterpiece or is it indeed provocatively malicious filmmaking, the 250 people that walked out and the 20 people who required oxygen would say the latter.
Walking into the cinema, or an art gallery, or indeed, any other artistic space is to engage in a contract of trust with the artist themselves. We trust that the safe boundaries of good taste will not be crossed, because if they are there’s no knowing what’s authentic, what’s acceptable or what’s permissible to enjoy. | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-square-cannes-and-the-boundaries-of-good-taste/ | 2022-05-20T14:22:59Z | https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-square-cannes-and-the-boundaries-of-good-taste/ | false | 1 |

Stephen Robinson has clinched his first summer signing after the club confirmed Mark O'Hara would join the Buddies.
The former Motherwell and Kilmarnock man signed a pre-contract deal following the expiry of his contract at Fir Park.
The 26-year-old joins Saints on a two-year deal, having made 74 appearances - scoring eight goals - for Motherwell and playing a part in their qualification for Europe.
O'Hara told stmirren.com: "I spoke with the manager and I could just feel that it's going to be something special next season so I'm happy to be a part of that.
"I feel now I'm well experienced and I do have a lot to bring the team. I feel my best football is yet to come and hopefully that will be with St Mirren over the coming seasons.
"The manager sees me as a box-to-box midfielder, getting about the park and affecting both ends of the pitch. But I'm happy to help the team in any way that I can.
"I wish I could just get started right away but I'll enjoy my next couple of weeks and I'm really relishing the challenge coming in here." | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/renfrewshire/st-mirren-confirm-mark-ohara-27021595 | 2022-05-20T14:24:50Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/renfrewshire/st-mirren-confirm-mark-ohara-27021595 | true | 1 |

Gary Carter wants to play it forward after thriving on a diverse campus that offered him chances to lead, network, and prepare for a career in accounting
NEWARK, N.J., May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- During his four years at Rutgers Business School-Newark, Gary Carter savored the diversity and the opportunities that were available to him as a student.
From classes and club leadership roles and the internships that led to a job after graduation, Carter, who majored in accounting, said he has soaked up the many experiences.
"I've been a sponge to the people who have experience," he said.
"The diversity on campus felt like home to me, what I had in Jersey City," said Carter, 21, who grew up in Jersey City and graduated from McNair Academic High School.
In high school, Carter had a mentor who taught him about accounting. "It inspired me to become an accountant," Carter said. "He shed light on how having your own assets, your own business, would bring you generational wealth. I wanted to learn more."
Carter came into Rutgers Business School as part of the Business Student Transition at Rutgers (B-STAR). B-STAR participants arrive on campus six weeks before their freshman year begins to meet one another and attend programming, including their first college classes. Throughout college, B-STAR continues to provide support, mentoring and opportunities to network with alumni and other professionals.
The award-winning B-STAR program, created and managed by the Office of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA), has been helping students transition from high school to college since 2014.
"We had a cohort of friends (in B-STAR) we could rely on," Carter said. Throughout his time at Rutgers, he said, B-STAR helped him mature through its professional training and development.
Carter hopes to make an impact as he progresses on his career path. He said he wants to help close the gap where there is a lack of diversity in Corporate America. "It can be who you know, not what you know," he said. "If you're in, don't be settled in, don't get comfortable, help someone else get in."
Carter took extra classes to finish the five-year accounting program in four years. After graduating, he will work as an associate for KPMG's Economic & Valuation Services, an area where he interned the summer after junior year and assisted during the firm's busy season this year.
Carter first connected with KPMG when the B-STAR program visited KPMG's Short Hills office. Recruiters encouraged Carter to apply for KPMG's Embark Scholars, a multiyear internship program that helps develop high-performing students of color into future leaders at the firm. Carter spent the summer after sophomore year with KPMG in a rotation program of the audit, tax, and advisory areas.
During freshman year, Carter spent three days in Hollywood, Calif., learning more about the accounting profession through Rutgers RISE program.
He also served as treasurer of Rutgers Real Estate Society and participated in the Road to Wall Street program.
But his biggest role outside class has been as president of the Rutgers-Newark Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants. C. Daniel Stubbs, Jr., assistant professor of professional practice in accounting, identified Carter as a leader after he did well in two difficult classes Stubbs teaches.
"I sought him out to lead our student chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants because he displayed outstanding leadership qualities and he readily gained the consensus of his peers," Stubbs said. "He has good time management skills as he didn't allow my challenge to lead the chapter to negatively impact his academic success."
Carter first heard about NABA from a peer and then went to the organization's conference in Norfolk, Va., his freshman year. "I saw people who looked like me and had the same aspirations as me," he said.
Being a leader with the NABA chapter raised Carter's confidence. "NABA is the highlight of my academic career," he said. "It gave me an outstanding network not only in school but outside school."

Sharon Osbourne discusses daughter Aimee’s ‘horrific’ fire incident
Television personality Sharon Osbourne has opened up about the scary incident that occurred in a Hollywood recording studio that caught fire with her daughter inside.
Taking to Instagram, the 69-year-old shared a snap of the location of the fire with a lengthy caption about the event that occurred.
It read, “Today my daughter @aro_officialmusic was working in a recording studio at this building with her producer. They are the lucky two that made it out alive. It is utterly heartbreaking that someone lost their life today in this fire & we are sending our prayers to this person & their family”.
“What happened today was beyond horrific. I really hope moving forward that buildings like this are better regulated for fire safety”.
She continued, “This building was a creative hub for music in Hollywood, a space that should have been regulated for fire code. Producers, musicians, mixers & artists also lost all of their equipment”.
“Once again, our prayers go out to the family and friends of the person that lost their life to this senseless fire”.
Friends and fans of the former The X Factor judge commented on the post to share their relief that Aimee and her producer are okay and their condolences for the deceased person.
Television personality Carrie Ann Inaba penned, “Glad that Aimee and her producer are safe… but my heart is hurting for the person who lost their life and their family and loved ones. How scary it must have been for all of them”.
“I am so sorry. That’s so frightening. I hope Aimee and her producer are okay. Sending love and healing to the family and friends of the person who passed away”, wrote a fan.
A second fan said, “This is heartbreaking news. I’m so sorry for the family who lost their loved one. I’m so glad your daughter & her producer are alright”.
“So sad. Very grateful Aimee made it out safely. I feel like a lot of studios like this in the us need better fire regulations”, added another.
Aimee is the eldest of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne’s three children at the age of 38. Kelly, who recently announced she is expecting her first child with Sid Wilson is 37-years old and Jack Osbourne is the youngest at 36-years-old. | https://www.shemazing.net/sharon-osbourne-discusses-daughter-aimees-horrific-fire-incident/ | 2022-05-20T14:43:00Z | https://www.shemazing.net/sharon-osbourne-discusses-daughter-aimees-horrific-fire-incident/ | false | 1 |
MSD last match: The legendary Indian captain is playing his last Indian Premier League 2022 match at the Brabourne Stadium tonight.
During the 68th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings at the Brabourne Stadium, Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the toss and chose to bat.
Dhoni, who talked about giving some time to his batters at the Cricket Club of India tonight, hasn’t made a lot of changes to the Playing XI as the defending champions look to finish a dull season on a winning note.
Dhoni, who doesn’t play competitive cricket apart from the IPL post his international retirement, is their sixth-highest run-scorer this season with his 206 runs coming at an average and strike rate of 34.33 and 128.75 respectively.
IPL 2022 will also be remembered for Dhoni stepping down as captain before the season only to resume his leadership role after his successor Ravindra Jadeja relinquished captaincy midway through the season.
Is today MSD last match in IPL?
It is worth mentioning that this isn’t Dhoni’s last IPL match by any means. While Dhoni hadn’t made any such announcement in the build-up to this match, it was expected of him to continue playing in the IPL next seasons as well.
Dhoni, 40, confirmed the same at toss repeating his previous stance of wanting to play in front of their home spectators at the MA Chidambaram Stadium before playing his last IPL match for CSK.
Into the 15th Year we go! 🥳#VaaThala #Yellove #WhistlePodu 💛🦁 pic.twitter.com/RRUeGRSMGN
— Chennai Super Kings (@ChennaiIPL) May 20, 2022
“Definitely. It’s a simple reason – it will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you. Mumbai is one place, where as a team and as an individual I have got a lot of love and affection. But it wouldn’t be nice to the CSK fans,” Dhoni told Star Sports at the toss on Friday. | https://thesportsrush.com/cricket-news-msd-last-match-is-today-dhoni-last-match-in-ipl/ | 2022-05-20T14:46:05Z | https://thesportsrush.com/cricket-news-msd-last-match-is-today-dhoni-last-match-in-ipl/ | true | 1 |
MILAN (AP) — Netflix has agreed to pay more than 55.8 million euros ($59 million) and set up a legal entity in Italy to settle a tax dispute, Milan prosecutors said Friday.
The payment covers taxes, penalties and interest from October 2015 through 2019. The streaming service also established an Italian subsidiary this year, which will determine its Italian tax burden based on subscriptions to Italian residents.
Prosecutors in Milan said the investigation was triggered by the physical presence in Italy of technological infrastructure, including 350 servers, aimed at producing revenue.
Netflix welcomed the settlement that ends the case covering the tax years 2015 to 2019.
“Throughout the entire investigation, we cooperated with the Italian authorities and we continue to believe that we acted in full compliance with Italian and international tax law,’’ Netflix said in a statement. | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/netflix-pays-59-million-to-settle-tax-dispute-in-italy/OH2Z7JLX7JBIZHRK2A2YXBVF2E/ | 2022-05-20T14:46:32Z | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/netflix-pays-59-million-to-settle-tax-dispute-in-italy/OH2Z7JLX7JBIZHRK2A2YXBVF2E/ | true | null |

With 1.538 species registered, Colombia is once again the leader during Global Big Day, a world birdwatching challenge. The South American country keeps demonstrating why is the number one destination in bird diversity in the whole earth.
MIAMI, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A few days ago, took place the Global Big Day, an event organized by Cornell University's lab of Ornithology, which brought together the scientific and amateur birdwatching communities around the world, during the whole weekend of May 14th, to record the largest number of bird species they could find and register through the platform eBird. This year, around 48,000 people participated in the event, and managed to record a total of 7,600 bird species.
For the fifth time in the last few years, Colombia was the country that registered the highest number of species, surpassing countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and India, with a total of 1.538, which represents 20% of the total birds reported in the world. The largest number of species came from birdwatchers from the departments of Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Caldas, Meta and Cundinamarca.
"Colombia has unparalleled natural biodiversity and a strong commitment to sustainability and meaningful travel that can be experienced in any of our Six Charming Regions. That's why we celebrate being the #1 country with the largest amount of bird species in the planet", said Flavia Santoro, president of ProColombia, the agency in charge of promoting tourism in Colombia. "We also pride ourselves on being the country with the largest number of butterflies in the world —registering more than 3,600—, which means that 20% of the species of butterflies in the planet live in Colombia".
"Each year, we welcome thousands of American, European, and Asian nature lovers and we are excited to encourage more travelers to visit us and experience a myriad of outdoor activities across our country, also known as the Most Welcoming Place on Earth!", Santoro added.
ProColombia is an advocate of nature tourism and birdwatching is one of the main products within the country's leisure offer; the agency works for the promotion of Colombia's birds' diversity with local and international organizations such as Swarovski Optik.

Griffin police have arrested five men they believe were involved in a drive-by shooting that narrowly missed a 78-year-old woman this week.
The department on Tuesday posted home surveillance footage on social media and asked for help to identify the suspects who slowly drove by a home in the 200 block of North 5th Street earlier that morning and opened fire. Two women were inside the house at the time, and a bullet narrowly missed one of them, a 78-year-old, by mere inches, police said.
By Thursday, five men were in custody: Jeston Morgan and Christopher Walker, both 26, of Flovilla; Tyrone Gee, 21, also of Flovilla; Deontrez Shivers, 19, of Jackson; and Devin Brown, 20, of Atlanta, who police have identified as the driver.
Investigators believe the men are responsible for multiple shootings directed at houses and vehicles in the area, as well as in Butts County, according to a news release.
“While we do not believe that these individuals are solely responsible for our rash of shootings, we do believe that they have been significantly involved,” Griffin police Chief Mike Yates said. “We will continue our efforts as long as needed, and we will not reduce our pressure on those who are involved in criminal street gangs that victimize others in our hometown.”
So far, the men have been charged with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and 21 counts of discharging a weapon on the property of another. Brown also faces multiple traffic charges.
Police expect to file more charges, including gang-related charges, as they continue testing the ballistic evidence in other cases involving drive-by shootings. The vehicle used in those cases matches the description of the vehicle used in Tuesday’s shooting, the release states.
“We will not let up on our efforts to eliminate this type of violence in our city, and we appreciate the assistance of our citizens and law enforcement partners as well,” the department said in a statement.

As the Gyanvapi case is heard by the Supreme Court and Varanasi court, advocate Hari Shankar Jain representing the Hindu side in this case has come up with a new claim about the Shivling found in the Wazukhana of the so-called mosque erected at the disputed site of the Gyanvapi complex in Varanasi. Advocate Hari Shankar Jain, while speaking with news channel Aaj Tak, said that the Shivling found in Varanasi was originally studded with a diamond which was removed after occupation. He said that because of this reason the upper part of the Shivling shows cracks.
Hari Shankar Jain said, “I have submitted a 274-page document along with evidence to the Supreme Court, on the basis of which the hearing will be held today. In this document, there is information on what is Kashi, and what is the importance of Kashi. Kashi is a religious city that was settled by Lord Shiva. It is mentioned in the Puranas and Scriptures.”
He further said, “I have told the court how Aurangzeb came and destroyed the temple. However, he could not demolish it completely and the servants in the temple continued the Puja rituals.” Hari Shankar Jain also said that on the western wall of the mosque there are artistic inscriptions that are usually seen in temples.
The lawyer of the Hindu side in this case further said, “The dome is placed just above the old temple. We have also reported about the dome, below it is the crest of the temple. I also have a picture of it. According to my information, on top of the original Shivling, which was there, there was a place to keep diamonds. The talks going on about it being a fountain is a matter of fooling people. There is a place to keep diamonds on top of the Shivling, from where the diamonds are missing and it is a complete Shivling.”
On Friday 20th May 2022, the Supreme Court of India refused to strike down the Varanasi court’s orders to do a survey of the disputed structure of Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi and the subsequent orders to seal parts of the structure after Hindu symbols including a Shivling was discovered in the survey. The court said that its order in the case will continue, which included the sealing of the Wazukhana on the premises, which reportedly contains the Shivling. The status quo is to be maintained till the case is heard by the local courts. | https://www.opindia.com/2022/05/gyanvapi-hindu-side-claims-diamonds-were-embedded-in-the-shivling/ | 2022-05-20T14:59:20Z | https://www.opindia.com/2022/05/gyanvapi-hindu-side-claims-diamonds-were-embedded-in-the-shivling/ | true | 1 |

All Meridian Township buildings closed today due to ‘severe’ COVID-19 outbreak
MERIDIAN TWP. — All Meridian Township buildings are closed Friday due to a “severe” outbreak of COVID-19, Meridian Township Manager Frank Walsh said in an email Thursday night.
In a text message Friday morning, Walsh said 13 to 15 team members have positive COVID-19 test results.
"Two of our team members have experienced some pretty tough days fighting the virus," he wrote.
Walsh said he's not privy to individual circumstances across the team, but given the outbreak it’s fair to say staff members may experience more positive tests. Moving forward, the township may tighten protocols on meetings and spacing.
He said all of the buildings will undergo a deep cleaning over the weekend and the township plans to reopen buildings on Monday.
“We apologize for the inconvenience to our residents," he wrote.
Police and fire emergency staff will still be available Friday, according to a township press release.

WATERFORD, Conn. (AP) — The U.S. energy secretary is planning to visit a nuclear power plant in Connecticut on Friday at the invitation of the local congressional member as they both work to change how spent nuclear fuel is stored nationwide to solve a decadeslong stalemate.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney are scheduled to tour the Millstone Nuclear Power Station in Waterford, Connecticut. Spent fuel that was meant to be stored temporarily at current and former nuclear plant sites nationwide is piling up. Some of it dates to the 1980s.
There’s renewed momentum to figure out a storage site, or sites, to free up the land where the waste is currently being stored and move it away from population centers, fault lines and flood plains. The Biden administration and many state officials view nuclear energy as essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and staving off the worst effects of a warming planet.
To responsibly use nuclear power, Courtney said, “We have to move on this issue.”
The Energy Department is working to develop a process to ask communities if they’re interested in storing spent nuclear fuel on an interim basis, both to make nuclear power a more sustainable option and figure out what to do with the waste.
Granholm has said it’s the best way to finally solve the issue. A plan to build a national storage facility northwest of Las Vegas at Yucca Mountain has been mothballed because of staunch opposition from most Nevada residents and officials.
There's roughly 89,000 metric tons of used commercial fuel at nearly 80 sites in 35 U.S. states, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry’s trade association. At 20 of the sites, there's no longer an operating reactor, the institute said.
All of that spent fuel, in storage containers, could theoretically fit into a large distribution warehouse for a big box store, said Rod McCullum, the institute's senior director of decommissioning and used fuel. It could be much more efficiently managed if it was consolidated, he added.
Millstone seals its spent nuclear fuel in massive stainless steel canisters on what used to be a parking lot and keeps it in pools that cool it. There’s room for 135 casks. Fifty-two casks have been installed, of which 47 are full, according to plant owner Dominion Energy.
Courtney's district also includes the site of the former Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Power Plant in Haddam Neck. Connecticut Yankee closed in 1996. Spent fuel is still stored on valuable waterfront real estate.
“The frustration in Waterford and Haddam Neck, it has been off the charts,” Courtney said. “People feel, you know, this was not the deal when these plants were built."
Courtney is part of a bipartisan congressional caucus working to change how spent nuclear fuel is stored. Its members believe the current system is not sustainable, particularly for sites that could be redeveloped. Many are along the coastline, in flood plains — the worst geology for spent fuel to be stranded, Courtney said.
Congress has provided about $40 million to fund the consent-based siting process that would be used to identify sites to store the nation’s spent nuclear fuel, and the administration asked for $53 million more for fiscal 2023, Courtney said.
Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said his main concern is that planning for consolidated interim storage could undermine efforts to figure out a permanent storage repository under ground. If there's a place to ship fuel, there won't be the political momentum to site an underground repository, which is the only plausible, safe, long-term solution for this waste, he said Friday.
Millstone is one of only two commercial nuclear power plants operating in New England. One of its reactors is licensed to generate power until 2035, another is licensed until 2045. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Energy-secretary-to-visit-nuclear-plant-discuss-17186615.php | 2022-05-20T15:11:14Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Energy-secretary-to-visit-nuclear-plant-discuss-17186615.php | true | 43 |

CLEVELAND, Ohio — These are some of the cases moving this week through Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
UPDATE: Steven Combs, 48, of Cleveland: A three-judge panel accepted his guilty pleas Monday. Combs cut a screen at a Walton Avenue home Aug. 2, 2011, entered a bedroom and fatally shot and stabbed 40-year-old Jeffrey Mechling, who had argued with Combs' girlfriend. Combs pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault and having a gun after a felony conviction. Mechling was shot twice in the head and stabbed more than 40 times with a machete. Sentencing is for April 9, when Combs could face the death penalty.
Devin Brothers, 20, of Cleveland: Trial begins Monday on charges of kidnapping, rape, attempted rape, aggravated robbery, burglary, theft and stalking. He's accused of breaking into an Addison Road house Oct. 13, holding a gun to a 20-year-old woman's head and trying to rape her; grabbing a 21-year-old woman Oct. 23, holding a gun to her head, pulling her behind a building and raping her; grabbing a 14-year-old girl Nov. 3 on Linwood Avenue, holding a gun to her head, dragging her behind a house and raping her; and grabbing a 21-year-old woman Nov. 7 on East 85th Street, threatening her with a bottle and trying to drag her behind a house. Prosecutors say they have DNA evidence.
Antonia Earley, 29, of Maple Heights: Arraignment Monday on charges of aggravated vehicular assault, child endangering, driving under the influence of alcohol and using weapons while intoxicated. She is accused of driving drunk Jan. 3 and crashing into a utility police at East 82nd Street and Broad Avenue in Cleveland. Her year-old son was belted in the front passenger seat, not a child safety seat, and his injuries left him paralyzed from the neck down, prosecutors said. Police said they found an unloaded handgun in the car.
Cheryl Lemieux, 28, and Christopher Brack, 30, both of Parma Heights: Arraignment Tuesday on charges of aggravated arson, manufacture of drugs, vandalism and drug possession. They are accused of causing an explosion July 29 while making methamphetamine at their home on Newland Road. Lemieux suffered severe burns to her face, chest, arms and legs.

President Joe Biden’s approval rating dipped to the lowest point of his presidency in May, a new poll shows, with deepening pessimism emerging among members of his own Democratic Party.
Only 39% of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s performance as president, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research, dipping from already negative ratings a month earlier.
Overall, only about 2 in 10 adults say the U.S. is heading in the right direction or the economy is good, both down from about 3 in 10 a month earlier. Those drops were concentrated among Democrats, with just 33% within the president’s party saying the country is headed in the right direction, down from 49% in April.
Of particular concern for Biden ahead of the midterm elections, his approval among Democrats stands at 73%, a substantial drop since earlier in his presidency. In AP-NORC polls conducted in 2021, Biden’s approval rating among Democrats never dropped below 82%.
The findings reflect a widespread sense of exasperation in a country facing a cascade of challenges ranging from inflation, gun violence, and a sudden shortage of baby formula to a persistent pandemic.
“I don’t know how much worse it can get,” said Milan Ramsey, a 29-year-old high school counselor and Democrat in Santa Monica, California, who with her husband had to move into her parents’ house to raise their infant son.
Ramsey thinks the economic dysfunction that’s led to her being unable to afford the place where she grew up isn’t Biden’s fault. But she’s alarmed he hasn’t implemented ambitious plans for fighting climate change or fixing health care.
“He hasn’t delivered on any of the promises. I feel like the stimulus checks came out and that was the last win of his administration,” Ramsey said of Biden. “I think he’s tired — and I don’t blame him, I’d be tired too at his age with the career he’s had.”
Republicans have not been warm to Biden for a while. Less than 1 in 10 approve of the president or his handling of the economy, but that’s no different from last month.
Gerry Toranzo, a nurse and a Republican in Chicago, blames Biden for being forced to pinch pennies by taking steps like driving slower to conserve gas after prices have skyrocketed during his administration.
“His policies are destroying the economy,” Toranzo, 46, said of Biden, blaming him for stopping the Keystone XL fuel pipeline to Canada and hamstringing domestic energy production. “It’s a vicious cycle of price increases.”
Overall, two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy. That rating is largely unchanged over the last few months, though elevated slightly since the first two months of the year.
But there are signs that the dissatisfaction with Biden on the economy has deepened. Just 18% of Americans say Biden’s policies have done more to help than hurt the economy, down slightly from 24% in March. Fifty-one percent say they’ve done more to hurt than help, while 30% say they haven’t made much difference either way.
The percentage of Democrats who say Biden’s policies have done more to help dipped from 45% to 37%, though just 18% say they’ve done more to hurt; 44% say they’ve made no difference.
Some Democrats blame other forces for inflation.
Manuel Morales, an internet service technician in Moline, Illinois, thinks the pandemic and war in Ukraine have had a far bigger impact than Biden’s decisions. But the 58-year-old Democrat is now questioning the benefits of Biden’s biggest legislative achievement, the American Rescue Plan, and its stimulus checks.
“It helped a lot of people, but,” Morales said, “people did not want to go back to work.”
Morales faults Biden on another area of persistent vulnerability to the president — immigration.
Only 38% back Biden on immigration, and Morales is disappointed at the scenes of migrants continuing to cross the southern border. Though he himself is a Mexican immigrant, Morales thinks the U.S. needs to more stringently control its border to have a hope of legalizing deserving migrants who are in the country illegally.
Also, Morales said, there have to be limits. “It’s impossible to bring the whole of Central America and Mexico into this country,” he said.
Another area where Morales faults Biden, albeit mildly, is the war with Ukraine. “We are spending a lot of money going to the Ukraine and all that is going to the deficit,” Morales said.
Overall, 45% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the U.S. relationship with Russia, while 54% disapprove. That’s held steady each month since the war in Ukraine began. Seventy-three percent of Democrats and 15% of Republicans approve.
The new poll shows just 21% of Americans say they have “a great deal of confidence” in Biden’s ability to handle the situation in Ukraine; 39% say they have some confidence and 39% say they have hardly any.
Charles Penn, a retired factory worker in Huntington, Indiana, is satisfied with Biden’s performance on Ukraine.
“I think he’s done alright,” Penn, 68, said of the president.
But overall Penn, an independent who leans Republican, is disappointed with Biden, and blames him for rising prices that have squeezed him in his retirement.
“The Democrats in the long run have screwed up things by pushing for higher wages, like going from $7 an hour to $15 an hour,” Penn said, citing the push for a sharp increase in the federal minimum wage that Biden has embraced. “The other side of it is that if you had Republicans, they’d cut my Social Security.”
Still, Penn thinks Biden should pay the political price.
“He’s captain of the ship, so he’s responsible,” Penn said of the president. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/biden-approval-falls-to-lowest-of-his-presidency-poll-finds/ | 2022-05-20T15:14:37Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/biden-approval-falls-to-lowest-of-his-presidency-poll-finds/ | true | 75 |

Monkeypox spreads in Europe, US, baffling African scientists
LONDON (AP) — Scientists who have monitored numerous outbreaks of monkeypox in Africa say they are baffled by the disease’s recent spread in Europe and North America.
Cases of the smallpox-related disease have previously been seen only among people with links to central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden and Canada all reported infections, mostly in young men who hadn’t previously traveled to Africa.
France, Germany, Belgium and Australia confirmed their first cases of monkeypox on Friday.
“I’m stunned by this. Every day I wake up and there are more countries infected,” said Oyewale Tomori, a virologist who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science and who sits on several World Health Organization advisory boards.
“This is not the kind of spread we’ve seen in West Africa, so there may be something new happening in the West,” he said.
Monkeypox typically causes fever, chills, a rash and lesions on the face or genitals. WHO estimates the disease is fatal for up to one in 10 people, but smallpox vaccines are protective and some antiviral drugs are also being developed.
One of the theories British health officials are exploring is whether the disease is being sexually transmitted. Health officials have asked doctors and nurses to be on alert for potential cases, but said the risk to the general population is low.
Nigeria reports about 3,000 monkeypox cases a year, WHO said. Outbreaks are usually in rural areas, where people have close contact with infected rats and squirrels, Tomori said. He said many cases are likely missed.
Tomori hoped the appearance of monkeypox cases across Europe and other countries would further scientific understanding of the disease.
The WHO’s lead on emergency response, Dr. Ibrahima Soce Fall, acknowledged this week that there were still “so many unknowns in terms of the dynamics of transmission, the clinical features (and) the epidemiology.”
On Friday, Britain’s Health Security Agency reported 11 new monkeypox cases, saying that “a notable proportion” of the most recent infections in the U.K. and Europe have been in young men with no history of travel to Africa who were gay, bisexual or had sex with men.
Authorities in Spain and Portugal also said their cases were in young men who mostly had sex with other men and said those cases were picked up when the men turned up with lesions at sexual health clinics.
Experts have stressed they do not know if the disease is being spread through sex or other close contact related to sex.
Nigeria hasn’t seen sexual transmission, Tomori said, but he noted that viruses that hadn’t initially been known to transmit via sex, like Ebola, were later proven to do so after bigger epidemics showed different patterns of spread.
The same could be true of monkeypox, Tomori said.
In Germany, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the government was confident the outbreak could be contained. He said the virus was being sequenced to see if there were any genetic changes that might have made it more infectious.
Rolf Gustafson, an infectious diseases professor, told Swedish broadcaster SVT that it was “very difficult” to imagine the situation might worsen.
“We will certainly find some further cases in Sweden, but I do not think there will be an epidemic in any way,” Gustafson said. “There is nothing to suggest that at present.”
Scientists said that while it’s possible the outbreak’s first patient caught the disease while in Africa, what’s happening now is exceptional.
“We’ve never seen anything like what’s happening in Europe,” said Christian Happi, director of the African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases. “We haven’t seen anything to say that the transmission patterns of monkeypox have been changing in Africa. So if something different is happening in Europe, then Europe needs to investigate that.”
Happi also pointed out that the suspension of smallpox vaccination campaigns after the disease was eradicated in 1980 might inadvertently be helping monkeypox spread. Smallpox vaccines also protect against monkeypox, but mass immunization was stopped decades ago.
“Aside from people in west and Central Africa who may have some immunity to monkeypox from past exposure, not having any smallpox vaccination means nobody has any kind of immunity to monkeypox,” Happi said.
Shabir Mahdi, a professor of vaccinology at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said a detailed investigation of the outbreak in Europe, including determining who the first patients were, was now critical.
“We need to really understand how this first started and why the virus is now gaining traction,” he said. “In Africa, there have been very controlled and infrequent outbreaks of monkeypox. If that’s now changing, we really need to understand why.”

Woodland is expecting to grow over 20 per cent and claw back to the pre-pandemic levels with a top line of over Rs 1,200 crore this fiscal, mainly driven by 'revenge-buying'.
The New Delhi-based company -- which began manufacturing special purpose leather boots for extreme weather conditions (targeted primarily the defence sector) in Canada in the late 1980s -- entered the country 25 years ago and is the market leader in the category, selling over 5 million pairs annually.
Owned by Aero Club, the privately-held Woodland closed FY22 with Rs 1,000 crore revenue and has set a target of crossing Rs 1,200 crore this year or clawing back to the pre-pandemic sales this fiscal as there is a lot of revenge-buying happening since the pandemic scare has ebbed, Harkirat Singh, its promoter and managing director, told PTI here on Friday.
The company is fully owned by the Singh family and does not have long term debt or external investors.
The company sells its footwear mostly in premium athleisure range for outdoors, accessories -- including apparel and deos and men's personal wears through Woodland, and super-premium Wood labels through 500 company-owned-and-company operated exclusive stores and over 5,000 multibrand retailers.
Almost 50 percent of the sales come from these exclusive stores, 20-25 per cent from exports primarily to the UAE and other MENA markets, South Africa, Russia and Canada' and the rest from other retailers, Singh said.
Before the pandemic, the company had 600 exclusive stores and will be adding 20-25 this year, he said, adding since the pandemic around 35 per cent of sales come online, which was under 10 percent before the pandemic.
Singh said almost two-thirds of the top line come from footwear, 25 percent from apparel and the rest from accessories. The company outsources/imports its high-end shoes (tagged at over Rs 20,000 a pair and sold under the Wood brand (fetching around a quarter of its revenue), from China, Vietnam and Bangladesh, which also supply to global brands like Timberland and Caterpillar, and the 70 percent of the Woodland brands are manufactured in-house. Singh ruled out taking the company public, saying remaining private gives him better control over operations.
He is also expecting to bag orders from the defence ministry to make special-purpose boots for the soldiers. It has already submitted samples, he said, adding these boots will be made in technical collaboration with the American company Polartech.

How to make Honey Wine in Black Desert Online (BDO)
Cook the pricey wine with just four types of goods.
If you’re looking to earn a whole bunch of silver in Black Desert Online, one cannot go wrong with cooking and selling Honey Wine. This is because it can be put into Skilled Imperial Boxes and given to Imperial Delivery NPCs for countless Silver. Though, the food item also has one major benefit if consumed. Here’s how you can obtain Honey Wine and become a big spender at the Central Market.
Honey Wine can be cooked at any level, but requires that you have three Cooking Honeys, two Essence of Liquor, two Sugars, and six Mineral Water. You’ll have no trouble obtaining the sugar and mineral water, as both can be purchased for a few Silver from a cooking vendor. These venders can mainly be discovered in towns set in the center of the map, such as Nadia Rowen in Olvia’s Inn (as marked below). Once found, sugar can be bought for 20 Silver, as each Mineral Water costs 30 Silver.
Speaking of Heidel, it is best to secure handfuls of Cooking Honeys by speaking to the Node Management NPC set west of the city in Alejandro’s Farm and hiring a worker to secure it for you. This will run you a Contribution Point, but it is certainly better than spending thousands for the item in the Central Market. The Essence of Liquor can also be purchased in the market, though it does have a simple recipe of one Fruit, two Flour, and one Leavening Agent — an item also obtainable from Nadia Rowan.
With the aforementioned materials in hand, you will then want to add them to your cooking utensil to finally receive Honey Wine. Those without the utensil can either craft one with 15 Rough Stone, 10 Melted Iron Shard, and two Black Stone Powders or buy one from a cooking vender for 1,000 Silver. Once the wine is made, you can consume the good to receive temporary damage reduction from all attacks or give bundles of it to Imperial Delivery NPCs for hundreds of thousands of Silver.

Slovak government backs plan to tax Russian oil processing
PRAGUE (Reuters) -Slovakia’s government on Wednesday backed a proposal for a special tax on Russian crude processed in the country to help raise revenue for anti-inflation measures, government officials said.
Finance Minister Igor Matovic proposed the tax on Tuesday, drawing criticism from Economy Minister Richard Sulik and his junior party in the ruling coalition, who said the tax would cause fuel prices to rise more.
Sulik’s SaS said the party could still veto the plan when it goes for a vote in parliament but first wants to consult the country’s sole refinery operated by Slovnaft, which is controlled by Hungary’s MOL.
The tax proposal comes as European Union states seek to agree on an embargo on Russian oil over its invasion of Ukraine.
Slovakia, reliant on Russian crude via the Soviet-era Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline, has sought an exemption from the oil ban.
The plan envisages a 30% tax rate calculated from the bigger discount now seen for Russian oil compared to international Brent since the Ukraine war started.
Matovic said it could raise up to 300 million euros, helping the government as it seeks ways to help ease the burden of soaring inflation on households.
Slovnaft said in a statement that it was, for the time being, continuing to apply pricing based on market principles.
In February, the government sought a tax on “excess profits” from nuclear power production as it looked for ways to help households cope with soaring energy bills.
It scrapped that tax after the Economy Ministry got a pledge to cap household electricity prices from Slovenske Elektrarne, which operates the country’s two nuclear plants and is majority-owned by Italy’s Enel and Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s EPH group. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2607224686245/slovak-government-backs-plan-to-tax-russian-oil-processing | 2022-05-20T15:26:07Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2607224686245/slovak-government-backs-plan-to-tax-russian-oil-processing | true | 3 |
PARIS (AP) — Naomi Osaka cracked jokes at Roland Garros on Friday — and, yes, laughed at those jokes. She smiled after some reporters’ questions. She paused to contemplate, as is her wont, before offering answers.
All of which seemed to confirm this assessment that she offered during an 18-minute pre-tournament French Open news conference, one year after she declared she would avoid talking to the press and then withdrew before the second round: “For the most part, I think I’m OK.”
Osaka used those words at the conclusion of a lengthy and thoughtful reply about what it was like to come back to a place where her last trip was so much more about her well-being and off-court mindset than her tennis. Which is saying something when the subject is a player who already owns four Grand Slam titles and has been ranked No. 1.
“I’m not going to lie. When I first came here, I was very worried. I was just kind of worried if there would be people that — of course, I also didn’t like how I handled the situation — but I was worried that there were people that I offended some way, and I would just kind of bump into them,” Osaka said Friday, her eyes darting around the room, her words separated by the occasional pause. “But I think everyone has been really positive, for the most part. I’m not really so sure. I was also very worried about this press conference, because I knew I’d get a lot of questions about this.”
Continuing, Osaka said: “For me, where I am right now, I wouldn’t want to say — it hasn’t left my mind. Of course, I’m still thinking about it.”
Before the 2021 French Open, Osaka vowed to not “do any press during Roland Garros,” framing the matter as a mental health issue, saying it can create self-doubt to have to answer questions after a loss. She stuck to that stance, skipping the tournament’s media day — which is what Friday’s setting was — and her mandatory news conference after winning in the first round, which drew a $15,000 fine. Osaka also was threatened by all four Grand Slam tournaments of possible additional punishment, including disqualification or suspension.
She responded by pulling out of Roland Garros, explaining that she experiences “huge waves of anxiety” before speaking to the media and revealing she has “suffered long bouts of depression,” helping make such comments more common among athletes, not to mention society at large.
Osaka also sat out Wimbledon and, later in the season, took another mental health break after losing at the U.S. Open.
She returned to the Grand Slam stage in January at the Australian Open, where was the reigning champion.
Osaka lost in the third round there to Amanda Anisimova, a 20-year-old American who just so happens to be Osaka’s first opponent in Paris.
Her ranking has fallen to No. 38, mostly because of a lack of action, and her preparation for the French Open was hardly ideal: Osaka withdrew from the clay-court tournament in Rome this month because of a lingering injury to her left Achilles heel.
“For me, there is no way I’m not going to play this tournament, so of course, you kind of have to manage things. But at the same time, I’m going to pop a few painkillers. … I have actually played a lot of Grand Slams with something,” she said. “So I think maybe there is a possibility I could play really good when I have an injury, because I feel like I don’t have anything to lose.”

Kochi: Taking cognisance of actor Joju George's failure to appear before the Idukki Regional Transport Officer (RTO) despite being served a notice for taking part in an illegal off-roading event at Vagamon, the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) is likely to revoke the actor's driving licence.
A show-cause notice will be served to the actor. Failure to respond again will have serious consequences, RTO R Ramanan said.
Ramanan issued a notice to Joju on May 10, directing the actor to appear before the officer with the necessary documents of the vehicle he drove during the event and his license.
Though Joju responded to the notice saying he would show up on the date stated, he failed to do so, Manorama Online reported.
The actor has now sought more time to appear before the RTO.
Considering the seriousness of the offence, Joju's licence could be suspended up to six months. The Idukki Collector has also directed the MVD to take action against all those who were involved with the event, including actor Binu Pappu, who organised the programme.
It was KSU Idukki unit president Tony Thomas who registered a complaint against Joju George.
The Youth Congress and the actor have been at loggerheads ever since the latter openly criticised the organisation's dharna against the hike in fuel prices a couple of months ago in Kochi, calling it a public hindrance. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/05/20/off-road-racing-mvd-may-revoke-joju-george-licence.amp.html | 2022-05-20T15:34:12Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/05/20/off-road-racing-mvd-may-revoke-joju-george-licence.amp.html | false | 2 |
Dog show support for Bronglais Chemo Appeal
Subscribe newsletter
We’ve got a great tail to tell you – about a dog show being held to raise money for the Bronglais Chemo Appeal!
Newman’s Garden Centre in Capel Dewi, near Aberystwyth is staging the show on its green on 6 August and they are appealing for doggie entries.
Garden Centre owner Dai Hennighan said: “It is important that we support Bronglais Hospital.
“It covers a vast area and the sooner we get a new, purpose-built chemotherapy day unit the better.
“Cancer touches everyone. It makes such a difference to patients and their families to have the service close to home so you don’t have to travel too far for treatment.”
Organising the dog show is garden centre manager Craig Swanson, with the help of staff member Karen Beasley, who shows her own dogs at Crufts.
The show will be held under Kennel Club Rules and will open at 10.30am with judging commencing a 1pm.
There will be pedigree and novelty classes at the show, with prizes for best and reserve best, best puppy and best veteran, judged by Mrs Ann Evans.
The garden centre and its coffee shop also have collection boxes for the Appeal.
The Bronglais Chemo Appeal is aiming to raise the final £500,000 needed for construction to start on a new, purpose-built chemotherapy day unit for Bronglais Hospital, to greatly improve the patient experience.
Nicola Llewelyn, head of Hywel Dda health charities, which is running the appeal, said: “We are very grateful for the support of Newman’s Garden Centre.
“There are so many fantastic fundraising ideas being thought up to support the Appeal. This promises to be a really fun event.”

Production ramp-up will lead to price declines from undersupply highs
CLEVELAND, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US sheet metal demand in nominal terms is forecast to decline 7.6% annually through 2026, according to Sheet Metal: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Losses will reflect falling prices from their peak in 2021, as producers increase production as well as invest in further production capacity. Through 2026, all market segments are forecast to experience declines. Building products will fall the least of any segment, supported by 1.1% yearly growth in building product shipments, as well as their high use of aluminum, which will see slower declines in price compared to other metals. However, further losses will be restrained by growth in durable goods production, especially transportation equipment that use sheet metal.
Demand for sheet metal is expected to decline 30% in 2022, as prices fall from their peak in 2021, which was caused by global undersupply as demand outpaced supply due to changing buying patterns of consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These and other key insights are featured in Sheet Metal: United States. This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 US sheet metal demand and shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand is segmented by material in terms of:
- cold-rolled steel
- hot-rolled steel
- aluminum
- copper
- other metals such as lead, nickel, tin, and zinc
Total demand is also segmented by market as follows:
- building products
- machinery
- transportation equipment
- appliances, electrical equipment, and electronics
- other markets such as packaging, furniture, and storage products
To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, trade, and price indexes are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021.
Metal bars, billets, tubes, and wire are excluded from the scope of this report. Hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel plate is also excluded, though plate of other metals is included. All articles of titanium are excluded from the scope of this report. Trade and demand data does not include added value due to the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs. Re-exports of sheet metal are excluded from demand and trade figures.

Biden Security Officer Arrested For Assault In Seoul Hours Before POTUS Arrival - Reports
Umer Jamshaid Published May 20, 2022 | 07:48 PM
A security officer working for US President Joe Biden was arrested for allegedly assaulting a South Korean citizen several hours before the head of state arrived in the country as part of his visit to Asia, The Washington Post reported on Friday, citing South Korean police
WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th May, 2022) A security officer working for US President Joe Biden was arrested for allegedly assaulting a South Korean citizen several hours before the head of state arrived in the country as part of his visit to Asia, The Washington Post reported on Friday, citing South Korean police.
The security officer was detained in Seoul on Thursday after purportedly getting intoxicated and fighting with a South Korean over a taxi. The individual is a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employee in their 30s, the report added.
Biden is beginning a presidential trip to South Korea and Japan, where he will hold bilateral meetings with their respective leaders and participate in a meeting of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.
DHS manages the president's Secret Service detail, which has experienced problems with agents engaging in inappropriate behavior while working abroad, according to the report. Neither the Secret Service nor the White House commented on the incident when prompted, the report added.

Will it be an emotional day on Sunday for your last game?
Yeah, I think the major one, of course, was leaving [Crystal Palace]. I mean, every time you leave a job, there's an element of emotion because you get sort of attached to the people you're working with. And they're the players, I must say, they've not let me down at all in their training sessions and what they've tried to do in the game, so I've still got a lot of affection for them.
So in that respect to be emotional, but in the same way, as when leaving Palace, it's a decision that's been thought out well in advance. I think it's worse in a way if you make a sudden decision. I've known all along that my last game, probably as a manager in football, is going to be on the 22nd of May. Just as I thought I knew, when I left Palace, that it was going to be the last day there.
So I've got to be careful with everything I say. Because if I ever do turn up somewhere again, it's bit like Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall at the moment, I keep pitching up somewhere, but who knows, if it'll happen again.
READ MORE: Forgotten Watford man provides fresh update on his future after key transfer decision made
Is there a chance you might not end up retiring?
Well, I can always talk my way out of it. Well, really and truly, you've got to answer the questions you're given as honestly as you possibly can. And at this moment in time – and I've joked, you know, my CV is not going to be sent around to clubs looking for a manager – but my CV wasn't sent to Watford. They came to me and found me and offered me this chance to work in this period of time in the attempt to keep their Premier League status.
I'm very disappointed, of course, I didn't work out. But it doesn't alter the fact that I always knew that whatever happened, on the 22nd of May, I was going to free myself from the burdens and the responsibilities of being a Premier League manager. But you never know quite what's going to come your way. And all the time I remain healthy and fit enough to do jobs, if they get offered to me, I suppose I have to consider them. But I don't anticipate any.
Will you miss management after a bit though?
No, that's absolutely right, there's no doubt about that. And I sort of attuned myself mentally, last summer, when I was leaving Crystal Palace to just that. You know, you're going to miss it. It's going to be tough for you. You're going to have days where you get up and think: 'Oh, I wish I was back on the training ground, especially when the sun is shining and i's nice and warm'. It's a bit easier on the days you wake up and it's pouring with rain and freezing cold.
But you're right, I will miss it. Of course I will. But that was going to happen at any stage in my life. And the good thing is the older I've got the more I'm able to sort of condition my mind into doing what I think is the right thing.
How important is it that Watford finish the season with a good performance and hopefully a result?
Yeah, it's even more important after the real disappointment or debacle almost last Sunday when really and truly, after two very good team performances – albeit a team that was weakened by the loss of many players – suddenly went out and conceded five goals. The way we conceded was in the worst possible manner, the type of manner that gives all managers and coaches a nightmare. They happen those errors from time to time but you don't want to see them piled up in one game. And that led to a heavy defeat.
So I think the players will have to work hard mentally themselves to get over that period if you like, or a game, because it was a game which came after too reasonable ones, good ones even. And they're playing Chelsea, so it's a great opportunity for them to get out and show that we're disappointed that we didn't give our home fans the type of performance that they wanted to see from us, but we will try to give it to them in this away game.
Dean Smith has already made it clear he doesn't want Norwich to finish bottom. How important is it that Watford don't finish there?
Yeah, I mean it's money isn't it, for the club? That's the important thing. I've got to say that the final analysis people, don't remember those things. When you are a few years down the road, people will remember you've been relegated, but they don't remember the ins and outs – whether you've been clearly relegated, or whether like West Ham once you get relegated on goal difference.
You know, relegation is relegation. Teams that come up come up, whether they come up through the playoffs or whether they come up in first or second. But we don't want to finish bottom, we would like to finish second the bottom. So like Dean Smith, we will be pushing our players to give that sort of performance.
Mike Dean is retiring too, what are your thoughts on him?
I think he's been one of the best referees the Premier League have had, without a shadow of a doubt. I think he always does his job properly. I've always enjoyed meeting with Mike and having him referee our games because I know that he's going to do it honestly, with great integrity. And he's not going to be flustered or too much influenced by a crowd or what the other team are whispering in his ear.
I'm sorry for the Premier League to see him go. They are losing a top class referee, and top class referees they don't grow on trees. If you've got one, you really want to look after him. But I think he will do other things. I actually had a chance to speak to him briefly before the Everton game – because he refereed our game just a couple of games back – and he was saying that he thinks it's the time for him to remove himself from the active part, the physical part, the pressure part, but I'm pretty certainly going to play a very big role in the Premier League and the education of referees, etc.
There seems to have been an upsurge in fans running off to pitches and causing trouble. What are your thoughts on that?
Well, my thought basically is the same as any right minded person's thought would be. The spectators are there to be entertained and you don't rush up in a theatre to the people on stage. If you don't like the play, or you love the play, you still stay in your seat and applaud it or boo it. They've always had that right, spectators. It's really more, what you can do about it.
I think most clubs they take the policing and the stewardship of matches very, very seriously. But I don't know, I've not been involved with that aspect of football. But it can't be easy to get enough stewards or enough policemen. Furthermore, we're talking about some pretty tough characters flying onto the pitch and maybe the people who are stewarding it couldn't even deal with them if they wanted to.
It brings the game down in a way. I often think when these things happen, if I wasn't at all interested in football, if I had total other interests, and I'm watching this and people are saying this is what happens at a football match, I'm probably saying: Well I don't want anything to do with that. It is just hooligans doing those things. And the two things have happened recently in particular, Billy Sharp, that is unbelievable. But if you allow people to call on the field and get back close to players, one can't be surprised when it does happen.
And sympathy for Patrick Vieira too?
I mean, everyone knows Patrick and the type of man he is. I mean, a guy who doesn't put a foot wrong and everything he does is well thought out, he's got great composure. For him to have to take the measures he took, he must have been provoked in a particularly bad way. Because everyone's a human being number. I'm afraid there are moments, however composed you are, however intelligent you are, however determined you are to keep your dignity and your integrity, I'm afraid there is a tipping point. Obviously, on this occasion, they found the tipping point. So my sympathy is absolutely 100 percent with him. I hope they find the people who were confronting him, and maybe the guy who took a minor kick will get something far worse.
Why do you think fans are behaving so poorly?
They have always come on to the pitch, especially at the end of seasons. So that is nothing new. I suppose what's new is the point you're referring to, alluding to here. Now they don't just come on the pitch, they see confrontation and even go as far as physically assaulting someone. I don't know why that should be the case. And it certainly hasn't anything to do with the game of football itself.
But it will obviously have to be looked at from a social aspect. You know, why are we getting to a stage where fans feel [like that]? One of the things they aren't allowed to do, or perhaps even should do, is go on and abuse and assault the opposing team. That is very concerning.
You've managed all around the world, is it something that you've you've come across before?
Oh yeah, the Italians. A couple of people here are either Italians, or worked in Italy, they like myself know that the fans were volatile over there. And you didn't want to get yourself caught up either the training ground when they were coming to berate you, or at a game when they were coming to try and make life difficult for you.
And in fact, only the other day one of the guys here was telling me about the time they weren't allowed to leave the stadium because of the fans outside. I suddenly remembered that time it happened to me as well. So it provoked my memory. So we're not the only ones. But does that make things any better? Does that make things any easier?
You know, we applaud the emotion of the fans. We applaud their unbelievable interest in the game and we know how much the game means to them. And we're very much aware of that when we're playing. We know that when we're not doing the job we hoped we could do, we are letting them all down and making their days pretty miserable.
So that's always been the case. But it's got in some way to be stopped from going over the top – as it is at the moment. Because otherwise we're going to go back to that stage we had 20, 30 years ago when people were building barriers. And certainly, in Italy there were many pitches with very big barriers, and you couldn't have gotten to the field even if you'd wanted to. That's a pity, I think, because what I like about English football is that closeness to the fans. I like the fact that they're not up in the gods or they're not behind bars, they're actually able to watch the game. This type of thing could bring back the old days, and that would be a shame.
What is it about the Premier League that makes you keep wanting to come back again and again?
Well, the quality of it. That's the important thing. And if you're going to work in football and you've worked in football a long time, what's going to keep you going is working with the quality that one finds in the Premier League, hopefully the quality you've got in your squad. But certainly the quality you're going to come up against, because you've got to come up against some of the best players and the best coaches and managers in the world. So that's the motivating factor, I think. Other than the obvious motivating factor that, you know, if you're a patient of football person like I am and take great stock or place great stock on being a professional football manager, there's always that element too which brings you back time and time again.
If you wanted a little bit easier in terms of your life, in that regard, you might stay away from the Premier League, because unless you are with one of the top teams, you always run the risk that you're going to lose a lot more games and you win.
So if it's not management in the future, might there be other footballing adventures for you?
I don't know. I mean, that's the thing where one does have to be careful. I mean, I don't want to leave and say this is my last Premier League game. And, you know, I'm going to move away from the coaching and management, and then completely shut the door on anything that might come my way.
You know, there are other jobs, which might allow me to do the job on a much less than a daily nine to five basis. National teams always appealed to me. I like working with a national team. Maybe a national team somewhere will ask me to come and spend some time with them. And I might think: oh, that's good. I'd like to do that.
But again, it would have to come out of the blue like this came out in the blue. And then I'd have to think very carefully, if it is a serious offer: Well, are you prepared to go back in? Are you prepared to give it your all? Like Ray Lewington and I have definitely done here.
I mean, that's one thing that, despite the disappointment that we weren't able to do what the club wanted us to do, it certainly wasn't because we gave anything other than our all, and anyone from Palace or Fulham or West Brom who'd have been watching this work here, they would have remembered us, saying: 'Well, that's exactly what we did'.
Can a positive result against Chelsea have some benefit through the summer as the club looked to move forward?
I think from the club's point of view, a positive result would be worth its weight in gold. Especially at Chelsea because you know, we're not the bookies' favourite to win that match. So if a group of players – many of whom were going to be here next year – could go to Chelsea and play well and get a result. And I thought we were on that track after getting relegated. You know, the match we played at Crystal Palace and the match we played against Everton, I thought we were actually on that track of finishing reasonably well with a bit of optimism for next year. Despite doing that, whilst knowing were relegated.
I'm afraid the last result of course has plummeted the morale or made the morale plummet once again. So if we could just find a way to get a good performance, and hopefully, even better, a good result that will be awfully good for the team going forward.
And of course, for Ray and I, it would also not mean that our last match that we watch with Watford is one where we virtually hand it to our opponents on a plate because we made so many bad errors. That's not like us. It happens in football, we all know that. Those five goals and the five errors that led up to the goals [against Leicester] normally, they'd be spread out over a lot more matches than one. | https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/every-word-hodgson-chelsea-watford-7108063 | 2022-05-20T15:41:33Z | https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/every-word-hodgson-chelsea-watford-7108063 | false | 1 |
Ajay Che has fallen to a crater that not many competitors have reached before in Apex Legends.
The below tweet from @_ApexStatus, a Twitter account that tracks Apex numbers via the game’s API, reveals a graph that shows Lifeline’s pick rate percentage over time, going as far back as season nine, which began in May 2021.
Lifeline’s pick rate has dropped to under four percent overall as of May 18, which coincides with the recent release of the newest legend, Newcastle. The defensive legend has a passive ability that gives him a shield while reviving and also dragging downed teammates.
Sound familiar? For former Lifeline mains, it should, because she used to have a shield ability while reviving as well. She had that ability removed in season nine, however, and her pick rate has steadily declined ever since.
Related: Bug fixes coming to Apex next week
While Newcastle has a better revive ability, Loba also has a better ability than Lifeline’s Care Package ultimate with her Black Market Boutique ultimate. There’s just not really any real reason to pick Lifeline over someone else right now.
At this point, it seems like Lifeline may be in need of a complete rework of her abilities. Her healing drone is just about the only truly useful ability that she has left when compared to the rest of the roster and other features that have been added to the game.
As one of the game’s original and most recognizable legends, Lifeline likely deserves better. Odds are, though, that if a reshaping of her kit is on the way from Respawn, it’s most likely not coming until the next season at the very earliest.
For now, think twice before selecting Lifeline as opposed to the other 20 legends who are a better option at this point in time. | https://dotesports.com/apex-legends/news/lifelines-apex-pick-rate-has-reached-an-all-time-low-after-newcastles-release | 2022-05-20T15:43:10Z | https://dotesports.com/apex-legends/news/lifelines-apex-pick-rate-has-reached-an-all-time-low-after-newcastles-release | false | 1 |

Most expensive car in the world sells for $142 million
(CNN) - Mercedes-Benz just made history by selling the most expensive car in the world, the company confirmed Thursday.
The very rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR coupe was sold to a private owner for 135 million euros, the equivalent of $142 million.
Hagerty, a company that tracks collector car values, said that makes it the priciest set of wheels ever. The previous record was $70 million paid in 2018 for a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO.
The record-setting Mercedes was sold at an invitation-only auction on May 5.
It was one of just two of its kind and has a top speed of 186 mph. The other one will remain at the Mercedes-Benz museum.
Mercedes said money from the sale will be used to establish the Mercedes-Benz fund, a global scholarship fund.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Federal officials have accused a company that runs a Virginia facility breeding dogs for research of violating animal welfare law and recently seized at least 145 beagles found to be in “acute distress,” according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The Envigo RMS facility in Cumberland County has been under increasing scrutiny for months, drawing concerns from animal rights groups, members of Congress and Virginia lawmakers, who passed animal welfare measures this year intended to tighten up the facility’s requirements and strengthen state oversight.
Repeated federal inspections since Envigo acquired the facility in 2019 have resulted in dozens of violations, including findings that dogs had received inadequate medical care and insufficient food, were housed in filthy conditions, and some had been euthanized without first receiving anesthesia. Hundreds of dogs have also been found dead at the facility, according to inspections.
“Despite being on notice since July 2021 that the conditions at its Cumberland facility fall far below the (Animal Welfare Act's) minimum standards, Envigo has failed to take the necessary steps to ensure that all of the beagles at its facility are provided humane care and treatment and that the Cumberland facility is operating in compliance with the (act)," said the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
Court records do not list an attorney for Envigo. A spokesman said the company was working on a statement and would have a response at some point Friday.
According to the complaint, agents from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General and other law enforcement officers began executing a federal search warrant at the facility Wednesday. As of Thursday's filing of the complaint, 145 dogs and puppies veterinarians found to be in acute distress had been sized, the lawsuit said.
The government is requesting that a judge declare Envigo has repeatedly violated the Animal Welfare Act and restrain the company from further violations.
“Envigo is failing to meet the minimum standards for handling and housing the beagles, resulting in the unnecessary suffering and, at times, death of beagles at the Cumberland Facility," the complaint said.
According to the complaint, the facility has housed up to 5,000 beagles since July 2021. It alleged staffing has been “paltry” and the attending veterinarian has failed to provide and oversee adequate care.
“Rather than spend the money to meet the minimum standards ... Envigo has employed a paltry number of employees and elected to euthanize beagles or allowed beagles to die from malnutrition, treatable and preventable conditions, and injuries resulting from beagles being housed in overcrowded and unsanitary enclosures or enclosures that contain incompatible animals,” the complaint said.
It cites a finding from a July 2021 inspection report that found Envigo had euthanized dozens of beagles over the course of months rather than provide care for injuries caused when a body part like an ear or tail was pulled through a kennel wall by a dog next door.
As for the dogs that have been found dead, the complaint alleges animal care technicians with no formal training are allowed to make the decision about whether a necropsy should be performed.
Medical records reviewed during the July 2021 inspection indicated that for 173 puppies, Envigo staff could not identify a cause of death because the bodies had already begun decomposing.
The complaint noted that inspectors have found unsanitary conditions, including an “extensive, widespread pest problem,” overcrowded enclosures and buildups of feces, urine and other waste.
Envigo, which has a business mailing address in Indiana, registered as a Virginia LLC in 2019, the complaint said. It acquired LabCorp’s Covance Research Products business, including the Cumberland facility, in June 2019.
The company has worked to make improvements at the site, including reducing the total number of dogs on site, raising pay, increasing staff training and enhancing cleaning processes, according to a statement a spokesman provided The Associated Press earlier this year.
In March, Virginia’s U.S. senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, called for federal inspectors to strip the facility of its license. And a month earlier, U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria and six other representatives wrote to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, raising similar concerns about why Envigo’s license had not been suspended.
PETA, the Norfolk-based animal rights group, conducted a months-long undercover investigation into the facility in 2021 and filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in October of that year, prompting inspections, senior vice president Daphna Nachminovitch said Friday. The group has been sounding the alarm about the facility for months.
Nachminovitch credited federal officials for “finally” taking “decisive action.”
“PETA finds suffering like this every time we crack open an operation like Envigo, and this needs to be the beginning of the end for this hideous beagle-breeding mill,” Nachminovitch said in a statement. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Feds-sue-operator-of-dog-breeding-facility-seize-17186752.php | 2022-05-20T15:52:43Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Feds-sue-operator-of-dog-breeding-facility-seize-17186752.php | true | 23 |

NEW YORK (AP) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk has denied a claim of sexual misconduct by a flight attendant contracted by Space X who worked on his private jet in 2016.
A report by Business Insider said SpaceX paid the woman $250,000 in severance in 2018 in exchange for her agreeing not to file a lawsuit over her claim.
The Business Insider report was based on an account by the flight attendant’s friend, who said the flight attendant told her about the incident shortly after it happened. The report also said the flight attendant was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prohibits her from discussing the payment or anything else about Musk and SpaceX.
Emails seeking comment were sent to SpaceX, which Musk founded.
Musk, who is in the process of buying Twitter, used the platform to respond to the allegation.
“And, for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue,” he wrote in response to one user who tweeted in support of him.
He replied to another: “In my 30 year career, including the entire MeToo era, there’s nothing to report, but, as soon as I say I intend to restore free speech to Twitter & vote Republican, suddenly there is …”
He also made light of the accusation, quoting a tweet of his own from 2021 in which he said if there was ever a scandal about him, it should be called “Elongate.”
“Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It’s kinda perfect,” he tweeted Friday.
According to the report, the flight attendant, who had trained as a masseuse so she could give Musk massages, said Musk exposed himself to her during a massage, rubbed her leg, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
Several hours before the Business Insider report was published, Musk tweeted that he had previously voted for Democrats but would now vote for Republicans and suggested that the left would launch a “dirty tricks campaign” against him.
Musk, who was in Brazil on Friday to meet with President Jair Bolsonaro, has offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion, but said the deal can’t go forward until the company provides information about how many accounts on the platform are spam or bots.
SpaceX has previously faced allegations of male workers sexually harassing women. One former SpaceX engineer who started as an intern wrote an online essay last year describing repeated sexual advances and other harassment she experienced. She said the company was “so rife with sexism, the only remedy is for women to leave.”
After the allegations emerged publicly in December, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, Gwynne Shotwell, sent an email to employees stressing the importance of “timely reporting” of harassment and discrimination and said the company will rigorously investigate them, according to reports at the time from the New York Times and other news outlets.

Manchester City star Jack Grealish and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson posed alongside each other ahead of their Premier League showdown.
One of City or Liverpool will claim the title on Sunday (May 22) but while they may be rivals come the weekend, Grealish and Henderson put their club allegiances aside to get behind a brand new grassroots football campaign this week.
The pair were joined by England forward Beth Mead, former City defender Micah Richards and ex-Team GB and England Cerebral Palsy captain Jack Rutter at the launch of McDonald’s Fun Football programme, which will be the largest participation programme in the UK.
Over 1million children will benefit from free football sessions taking place in parks and playgrounds in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales across the next four years. In total, more than 10.5million hours of coaching will be delivered.
Explaing his involvement, Grealish, 26, said: “I’m a firm believer that football should be for everyone and that’s why I wanted to get involved with the McDonald’s Fun Football programme. Accessibility in sport is something that is close to me personally.
"I have first-hand experience of how sport can benefit those with additional needs, and it is so important that we get behind programmes that increase the opportunities for every child to play and enjoy football.
What's your prediction for the final day of the season? Let us know in the comments section.
"To build a grassroots programme, like McDonald’s has, that will offer one million children the chance to play football, is incredible and I am looking forward to seeing the programme kick off over the summer.”
Henderson added: “As a parent I understand how taking your kids to football for the first time can be intimidating or off-putting. The great thing about Fun Football is the sessions are designed to ensure every level is catered for and accepted.
"It takes a step back from the competitive environment of football and puts enjoyment at the heart of every session, which is so important. Fun Football is the perfect environment for any child looking to take their first steps in football and I would encourage parents up and down the country to take advantage of the free sessions."
Grealish and his City team-mates will be looking to beat Aston Villa to secure the Prem title on the final day of the season, while Henderson's Liverpool will be hoping their rivals slip up and they can capitalise with a victory against Wolves.
McDonald’s Fun Football is offering 1 million kids access to FREE football over the next four years as part of the largest grassroots football programme in the UK.

The first case of bird flu killed a backyard flock on the Jersey Shore, NJ Advance Media said.
At least 10 ducks have died and an undisclosed number of chickens got sick as a result of the avian influenza outbreak in Monmouth County, the outlet said.
While the national outbreak has driven up the price of eggs and chicken, properly cooked foul is harmless to humans even when it's infected by the flu, agriculture experts say.
Almost 40 million birds have become infected in 338 backyard and commercial flocks in 35 states this year, according to the USDA.
The current bird flu outbreak, first reported in a commercial turkey flock in Indiana, is considered the worst since 2015.
In New Jersey, Mallard ducks in Cape May were the first to test positive, according to USDA findings in February.
No commercial or backyard flocks in New Jersey have been infected before now, according to the National Wildlife Health Center.

Best gazebo 2022: The best tent canopies for camping trips or garden get-togethers
Advertisement
A good gazebo is a big help if you need extra space on a family camping trip or you’re planning a party in your back garden
The best gazebo is everything that a cramped tent isn’t. Wide, weatherproof and freestanding, a good gazebo is a great addition to your camp setup and a must-have for anyone hoping to host a party in their back garden during the warmer months.
Many camper vans and tents, especially large family ones, have add-on porches or gazebos designed specifically for that model, but we’d argue that a freestanding gazebo is far more versatile. The best gazebos can be used to create a shady porch, a communal living space between tents in which to eat or relax, a playroom for kids if the weather’s bad, or just a bit of shade at a summer party.
Like a good tent, the best gazebos should have plenty of room for happy campers or guests. They should have a waterproof outer layer to keep the elements at bay and, if necessary, a design that doesn’t sacrifice airiness or breathability when zipped up. Unlike heavy tents, gazebos are lightweight and don’t take up much storage space, so they’re a great way to expand your campsite (or garden) without needing to lug around heavy equipment.
We’ve selected some of the best freestanding gazebos on the market and have included an option for most budgets. Before we launch into our recommendations, however, we’ve put together a brief guide to buying the best gazebo for you.
Best gazebo: At a glance
- The best for garden parties: All Seasons Gazebos 3 x 3m Pop-up Gazebo
- The best for wild camping: Eurohike Universal Tarp Shelter
- The best for glamping: Robens Prospector Tarp
- The best for family camping: Decathlon Quechua Arpenaz Base M
- The best inflatable gazebo: Berghaus Air Shelter
How to choose the best gazebo for you
What features do I need?
A camping gazebo is far simpler to shop for than a big family tent. Standing room is essential, so check the height of the model before you buy. If you want to use the gazebo as more of an extra tent or as somewhere to hang out in bad weather, look for one with a sturdy floor of coated nylon, plus unzippable walls with windows or mesh panels.
If you’re keen to use your gazebo as somewhere to escape the sun or to relax as a group, a curved ceiling-only design will be perfect. Look for an easy-to-pitch gazebo with four poles and plenty of guy ropes, pegs and straps for stability, as gazebos can easily become loose in strong winds. The metal components should ideally be made of stainless steel.
What size is best?
Pick a gazebo that can accommodate the size of your camping gang. There are huge gazebos that you can fit big gatherings underneath, as well as smaller designs ideal for getting a family of four under. The larger the gazebo, the heavier it will be and the longer it will take to erect – big gazebos usually require at least two people to put up.
If you’re camping or wild camping alone and are looking for a simple rain shelter, a small tarp that’s close to the ground is a lighter and easier-to-erect option. The pitch times suggested by manufacturers are usually optimistic, so expect a bit of trial and error the first time you erect your new canvas palace.

The best gazebos you can buy
1. All Seasons Gazebos 3 x 3m Pop-up Gazebo: The best for garden parties
Price: £160 | Buy now from All Seasons GazeboWith no poles to slot together, All Seasons promises that it will only take you a couple of minutes to get this foldable gazebo up and ready to go – and once you’ve got the roof cover on, you theoretically never have to take it off again. This makes it a great option for assembling in a hurry when the weather turns sour.
It’s built with a heavy-duty frame and a fully waterproof PVC canopy roof, and many Amazon customers refer to its durability in British weather conditions. You can adjust the height of the gazebo (maximum 3.2m) too, and the included guide ropes and pegs give it that little extra stability during blowy conditions.
For a traditional village fête look, we like the gazebo in neutral beige, but it also comes in a range of other colours if you want something that will stand out in your garden. This gazebo covers an area of 3m² and doesn’t come with any side walls, but if you’re looking for something with more space or better protection from the elements, All Seasons manufactures a range of other models, too.
Key specs – Main material: Polyester, steel frame; Weight: 21kg (approx) Height: 3.2m (at highest setting)
Buy now from All Seasons Gazebo
2. Eurohike Universal Tarp Shelter: The best for wild camping
Price: £40 | Buy now from Go Outdoors
This cheap and cheerful tarp is excellent for adding porch space to a smaller tent, creating a temporary shelter on a hike or erecting more weather protection on a wild camping trip or at a festival. It’s small and lightweight enough at 2.2kg to stick in your rucksack and is fully waterproof.
The Universal tarp is easy to pitch and fits snugly around any tent door, as well as working well alone. It doesn’t offer any standing room, although it’s comfortable to sit under. It’s a bargain for smaller tents, or for adventures off the beaten track where you’re carrying your camping gear in a backpack.
Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 2.2kg; Pitch time: 5mins; Height: 195cm
3. Robens Prospector Tarp: The best for glamping
Price: £215 | Buy now from Trekk Inn
Got more of a glamping vibe going on with your camping setup? The smart Robens Prospector is made of tough canvas and works perfectly as both a free-standing shelter (which would look good in any garden) and as a porch for a bell or safari tent.
You can also use it to connect two tents together so that they face each other with a sheltered entrance and communal area between them. The canvas may look pretty, but it’s also tough, breathable and water-resistant. The Prospector tarp is quick and easy to pitch, too.
Key specs – Main material: Polycotton; Weight: 9.7kg; Pitch time: 15mins; Height: 230cm
4. Decathlon Quechua Arpenaz Base M: The best for family camping
Price: £100 | Buy now from Decathlon
In what looks like a hybrid between a tent and a gazebo, this sheltered living area is ideal as a dining area or an outdoor playroom for children. It’s designed to hold six people, although these numbers are overstated more often than not, so we would suggest three or four people for a comfortable experience.
With four walls, you get significantly more protection against the elements than you would with an open gazebo. Indeed, the Quechua Arpenaz Base is waterproof, wind-resistant and offers UV protection, making it great for camping trips where you’re faced with all manner of different weather conditions. If things get too hot in the summer weather, there are plenty of openings – including a back wall panel that can then be pitched to act as an awning – and each opening has a mosquito net to keep insects at bay.
Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 8kg; Dimensions: 625 x 625cm (living room), 57 x 18cm (cover); Height: 215cm (overall), 170cm (door height)
5. Berghaus Air Shelter: The best inflatable gazebo
Price: £349 | Buy now from Go Outdoors
The gazebo is often the last thing to be pitched at a campsite, and is traditionally one of the most fiddly, but Berghaus is aiming to change that with its easily inflatable Air Shelter.
With just one inflation point, all you need to do is pump, and in a few minutes you’ll be rewarded with a generous shelter from the sun or rain that simply needs pegging down for safety. When you’ve finished with it, dismantling is even easier, with the spring-loaded quick-release air valves allowing you to quickly deflate the frame at the touch of a button.
Made from 6,000mm HH polyester and featuring taped seams, the Air Shelter offers the same level of weather protection as many tents, and it will take hours, if not days, of relentless rain before the fabric gets saturated. Two sides feature doors with full-length mesh panels, the other two have windows and curtains, and the roof has skylight panels, giving you a wide range of options for adjusting interior lighting conditions.
Key specs – Main material: Polyester; Weight: 11.1kg; Dimensions: 300 x 300cm (living room), 75 x 35 x 34 cm (cover); Height: 220cm (overall)
6. Vango Danu Hub: The best eco-friendly gazebo
Price: £255 | Buy now from DecathlonIn addition to its respectable green credentials – the Danu Hub’s fabric is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles – Vango has nailed all the essentials here. The waterproof fabric’s 3,000mm HH and taped seams provide great protection from the elements, and the sensible design makes for a gazebo that is quick and easy to put up.
In fact, this is one of the easiest gazebos to pitch that we’ve tested. Because Vango has used flexible fibreglass poles and a clever adjustable pegging system, you can pitch it on less than perfect ground without worrying about it flying away in a gust.
With a maximum roof height of 2.25m, there’s loads of headroom – this is a great design for a young family to relax under and have dinner. Think of it as a communal tent space for cooking, eating and relaxing. Two of the sides are fixed and feature large mesh windows that offer plenty of ventilation, while also protecting from higher winds, while the other two ends can be unzipped and fully opened.
It’s a flexible design, and the fact that you can seal it up at the end of the day with chairs and cooking equipment inside means nothing valuable is left directly on display.
Key specs – Main material: Recycled Sentinel Eco Fabric, fibreglass poles; Weight: 14.8kg (approx); Height: 2.25m (at highest point)
7. Dometic HUB2: The best gazebo for versatility
Price: £600 | Buy now from DometicThis 2.3m inflatable cube is one of the coolest shelters we’ve ever seen, and a refreshing change to all the identikit gazebos available. It’s also one of the most flexible – multiple Hubs can be connected together to create a warren of weatherproof accommodation – and thanks to the single-point inflation it takes next to no time to put up and pack away again.
Designed to be used just about anywhere, it’s surprisingly portable: it weighs less than 9kg and packs down to 30 x 60cm. We can imagine many users keeping it in the boot of the car and whipping it out when the weather turns nasty.
It’s made from hard-wearing woven polyester recycled from 100% plastic bottles – a trend we love seeing in outdoor equipment – and is also Global Recycled Standard certified, so in theory it can be turned into more tents at the end of its life.
The Hub 2 employs hardwearing, difficult to tangle guy straps for securing it to the ground, and there’s a ground sheet included which can be removed using simple toggles in each corner.
It comes with a pump as standard, but there are also plenty of practical accessories available, including zip-on side panels, soft carpet, tent insert and a weight bag for pitching on hard surfaces. It’s expensive, but we’ve not found many designs made better than this.
Key specs – Main material: Weathershield Redux polyester; Weight: 8.5kg (approx) Height: 2.3m (at highest point)
8. Outwell Event Lounge XL: Best gazebo for big gatherings
Price: £211 | Buy now from AmazonWith 16m2 of space beneath it, this great value shelter from Outwell is absolutely enormous. Perfect for group camping trips or huge families, it has a generous peak height of 2.45m and the entrance height is 1.8m, so only the tallest will need to stoop to seek cover.
The PU-proofed polyester flysheet is both waterproof (1,500mm HH) and fire retardant, and the UPF 50+ UV protection rating makes it an ideal play area for younger children when the sun shines. If the wind picks up, you can also buy sidewalls (£70.99 per pair) for added protection.
Pitching is definitely a two person task – it takes around 20 minutes once you’ve got the hang of it – but the instructions are clear and it’s hard to go too wrong. The steel poles are extremely strong, which bodes well for many years of service. In the unlikely event that it isn’t spacious enough – or you’re entering the wedding venue business – you can connect multiple shelters together with a £23 gutter attachment.
The Outwell’s sheer size has one major downside: it takes up a lot of space even when packed away. Measuring 83 x 20cm, it’s really only worth considering if you have enough boot or storage space to spare.

IPL 2022: CSK batter Moeen Ali smashes incredible 19-ball half-century vs RR, writes his name in record books
IPL 2022: Mooen Ali finally showed his prowess with the bat in the ongoing season with an incredible 19-ball half-century vs Rajasthan Royals at the Brabourne Stadium. The English all-rounder wrote his name in the history books with the incredible knock. This was Moeen's first 50+ score of the season in 2022.
UP NEXT
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Moeen Ali hit a 19-ball half-century
- This is the highest score in IPL history
- Moeen smashed 26 runs of a Trent Boult over
Moeen Ali certainly saved his best for the last as he entertained the crowd at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium with a stunning batting display in Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) final league stage game of the season vs Rajasthan Royals (RR).
In one of the most sublime batting efforts of the season, the English all-rounder brought up his half-century within the powerplay after walking out to bat at number three. In fact, he took just 19 balls to reach the milestone.
By virtue of this knock, Moeen registered his highest-ever score in the history of the IPL by making 93 runs in 57 balls. Earlier, his best score in the world’s richest league was 66 which came in the 2019 edition which came when he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Moreover, Moeen’s knock on Friday evening vs RR is the second-fastest half-century in the league’s history by a CSK player. Moeen upstaged MS Dhoni and ranks only behind Suresh Raina who had scored a 16-ball half-century vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium in 2014.

Attorneys for the U.S. government have indicated that they will not oppose a plan to lift all remaining restrictions next month on John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul L. Friedman in Washington ruled last year that Hinckley can be freed unconditionally in June if he continues to follow the rules placed on him and remains mentally stable as he continues to live in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Hinckley, 66, has indeed remained mentally stable and violated no conditions, according to a letter filed by U.S. attorneys with the court on Thursday. That determination was based on letters from the Washington's Department of Health, which has overseen Hinckley's care.
“As such, the government has found no evidence to suggest that Mr. Hinckley’s unconditional release should not be granted as outlined,” the letter from the U.S. attorneys stated.
A court hearing is scheduled for June 1.
Hinckley was 25 when he shot and wounded the 40th U.S. president outside a Washington hotel. The shooting paralyzed Reagan press secretary James Brady, who died in 2014. It also injured Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and Washington police officer Thomas Delahanty.
Hinckley was suffering from acute psychosis. When jurors found him not guilty by reason of insanity, they said he needed treatment and not a lifetime in confinement.
Such an acquittal meant that Hinckley could not be blamed or punished for what he did, legal experts have said. Hinckley was ordered to live at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington.
In the 2000s, Hinckley started visiting his parents’ home in Williamsburg. A 2016 court order granted him permission to live with his mom full time, after experts said his mental illness had been in remission for decades.
Hinckley had to live under a long list of restrictions, which the judge has been loosening over the years. For instance, Hinckley was granted the right to publicly display his artwork and allowed to move out of his mother’s house.
She died in July. He signed a lease on a one-bedroom apartment in the area last year and began living there with his cat, Theo, according to court filings.
In recent years, Hinckley has sold items from a booth at an antique mall that he’s found at estate sales, flea markets and consignment shops. He’s also shared his music on YouTube.
There is no longer a prohibition on him talking to the media. But when Rolling Stone magazine requested an interview with Hinckley to talk about his music, Hinckley declined, according to court filings.
“Despite experiencing some degree of temptation from the lure of an interview with the most hallowed, storied publication of his generation, Mr. Hinckley sought the advice of his treatment team and therapy group before deciding to decline the invitation," according to a report on Hinckley's well being that was filed last year with the court. Hinckley referred the request to his attorney.
Hinckley still must give three days’ notice if he wants to travel more than 75 miles (120 kilometers) from home. Perhaps in anticipation of unconditional release, Hinckley even tweeted that he has plans to give a concert in New York City in early July. He sings and plays guitar,
Other restrictions include barring Hinckley from traveling to places where he knows there will be someone protected by the Secret Service. He can't consume illegal drugs or alcohol. And he can't contact any of his victims or their families. He also can't contact the actor Jodie Foster, with whom he was obsessed at the time of the 1981 shooting.
Hinckley's attorney, Barry Levine, said last year that unconditional release for Hinckley would show that “people who have been ravaged by mental disease, with good support and access to treatment, can actually become productive members of society.”
But the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said in a statement last year that it was “saddened” by the court’s plan.
“Contrary to the judge’s decision, we believe John Hinckley is still a threat to others and we strongly oppose his release,” the foundation said.

Aleksey Leonkov, editor of the Arsenal Otechestva magazine, said that Russian troops are detecting accumulations of Western weapons and then destroying them.
He noted that today Ukraine is forced to use electrified railway communications for the supply of heavy military equipment. Due to the lack of fuel, the independent movement of this equipment is difficult.
Upon arrival at the platforms, the accumulation of weapons is not difficult to detect and destroy with precision strikes. At the same time, Russian troops are solving three tasks at once: the destruction of military equipment, platforms and personnel of the Ukrainian army.

I must confess, I didn't quite 'get' the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 as soon as I heard about it. It's a new super-powerful chipset from Qualcomm that'll come to Android phones toward the end of 2022, that's a small step up over the 8 Gen 1 already seen in the OnePlus 10 Pro, Xiaomi 12, and members of the Samsung Galaxy S22 family that launched in the US.
The flagship features include 10% faster CPU performance, 10% faster GPU clock speeds and 20% better AI power efficiency - and if your eyes glazed over when you started reading that, we don't blame you. It's not exactly a sexy new smartphone component, and it's very much the definition of 'an incremental upgrade'.
But that doesn't even matter - tech fans know that Apple's Bionic chips are always much faster than Qualcomm's Snapdragon rivals, and as a die-hard Android fan, even I'll admit that the iPhone 14 will probably have any of its Android contemporaries beat in terms of sheer power.
However, as I read more into the specs of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, it reminded me that although it might not lead to more powerful phones than the iPhone 14, that's not all that's important.
The loaded chips
While chipsets are largely important for the processing power of a smartphone, letting you play games or edit videos without lags or stutters, that's not all they do.
For example, let's look at the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1's camera support. The chip supports capture on a 108MP camera with no shutter lag, or three 36MP snappers simultaneously with the same lack of delay. Alternatively, you can record 8K HDR video, or 10-bit photos and videos, or make the most of plenty of specific tools like noise reduction and AI face detection.
Another example is in the display - the chip supports a QHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate simultaneously, a combination that would toast a lesser chip.
So, even if the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 isn't technically as powerful as Apple's next chip, it has the features to make up for it.
The iPhone 14 problem
I will be very surprised if the iPhone 14 has a 108MP camera, or QHD+ 144Hz screen - Apple doesn't often pick flashy specs like those. In fact, some rumors suggest it's not actually getting a new chipset at all this year (though the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max apparently will).
Even if it or its Pro sibling are the most powerful phones on the market, that's not enough, because processing power isn't everything. In fact, power isn't all that important.
You'd think you'd need lots of power to play top-end games, but they play so well on a mid-range phone that you don't need a powerful one to enjoy Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG New State. In fact, for some of these games, I'd even recommend a mid-power phone - they don't overheat as quickly.
Phones simply don't need to be too powerful. So, the bundles of processing strength that iPhones have largely gone to waste.
You know what wouldn't go to waste? A QHD+ 144Hz screen - that'd look great, and actually would provide a demonstrable change for gaming. The ability to take 108MP pictures without your phone stuttering would also be lovely, so you can take lots of high-res snaps in quick succession that you edit afterward.
Even if the iPhone 14 has the most powerful processor in the whole wide world, that's not enough, because, without useful features and flashy specs, it still won't compete with the best Android mobiles that come out at the same time. | https://www.techradar.com/news/even-if-the-iphone-14-is-the-most-powerful-phone-ever-thats-not-enough | 2022-05-20T16:22:12Z | https://www.techradar.com/news/even-if-the-iphone-14-is-the-most-powerful-phone-ever-thats-not-enough | true | 6 |

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The lawyer for a Russian soldier who was the first to go on trial for an alleged war crime in Ukraine asked a Kyiv court Friday to acquit his client, who had admitted killing an unarmed Ukrainian civilian during the first days of the war.
Defense attorney Victor Ovsyanikov argued that his client, Sgt. Vadim Shishimarin, 21, had been unprepared for the “violent military confrontation” and mass casualties that Russian troops encountered when they first invaded Ukraine.
“It is essential, your honor, in my opinion, to assess Shishimarin’s intentions as to what happened and the reasons he was guided by when he fired," Ovsyanikov said. "Could any of the people present here understand these circumstances in that situation?”
Shishimarin, a member of a Russian tank unit who was eventually captured, testified Thursday that he shot the civilian from an open car window on orders from two officers. He said one of the officers insisted the man, 62-year-old Oleksandr Shelipov, could report their location in the northeastern Sumy region to Ukrainian forces.
“Let’s try to put ourselves in the place of at least one of those people in that car, and in general,” Ovsyanikov, a Ukrainian lawyer who was appointed to defend the Russian sargeant, said Friday. “Did they understand that they killed a person at the time, or did they just shoot from a machine gun and go on?”
Prosecutors have contended the directions to fire did not come from Shishimarin's direct commander and so did not constitute an order.
“The arguments of the defense are, so to speak, relevant to the line of defense, but I believe that this in no way refutes the evidence we have provided," prosecutor Andriy Synyuk said Friday. "And I believe that they do not deny the guilt of Shishimarin himself in this criminal offense.”
Shishimarin could get life in prison if convicted of shooting the Ukrainian man in the head on Feb. 28, four days into the Russian invasion. Prosecutors continued to present evidence after he pleaded guilty Wednesday.
The judges who heard the case started their deliberations Friday. A verdict is expected Monday, Ovsyanikov said.
“And I would like to note that any verdict is subject to appeal,” the lawyer said.
Shishimarin was prosecuted under a section of the Ukrainian criminal code that addresses the laws and customs of war. As the inaugural war-crimes case in Ukraine, his case was watched closely.
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova previously said her office was readying war crimes cases against 41 Russian soldiers for offenses that included bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, rape and looting.
Investigators also are collecting evidence of possible war crimes to bring before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
On Thursday, Shishimarin asked the victim’s widow, who also appeared in the trial, to forgive him for what he did.
“I realize that you can’t forgive me, but I’m pleading you for forgiveness,” he told her.
The woman, Kateryna Shelipova, said she found her husband dead just outside their home after the couple heard gunshots and he went to investigate. “He was all to me. He was my defender,” she said.
Shelipova told the court that Shishimarin deserves a life sentence for killing her husband but added that she wouldn’t mind if he was exchanged as part of a possible prisoner swap with Russia for the surrendered Ukrainian defenders of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
Asked about that possibility, defense lawyer Ovsyanikov replied Friday: “There will be interest from the country of which he is a citizen, and our country will confirm this interest, so why not?”

Justin Thomas, winner of the 2017 PGA Championship, called out the tournament this week for its cost of concessions.
Golfweek reported that the PGA Championship was charging $18 for a can of Michelob Ultra and $19 for Stella Artois. Thomas reacted to the prices in a tweet.
$18(!!!!!!) for a beer… uhhhh what. Gotta treat the fans better than that! 🤦🏽♂️ https://t.co/7DeyC7WTJE
— Justin Thomas (@JustinThomas34) May 17, 2022
“You want people to come to the tournament. If I'm on the fence and I'm looking at the concession stand, that's not the greatest thing,” Thomas told reporters. “I was just blown away because I've never seen a beer $18 or $19 in my life. Guys have been talking about it, so I, you know, had to stand up for the fans. Felt like it was right.”
Brooks Koepka defended the prices.
“I mean, it's bigger than the normal 12 ounces, 16 ounces. It's bigger than the normal ones, so you'll be all right. You drink enough, you'll be fine,” he said.
The PGA of America told Golfweek the prices at the concession stands are comparable to other stadium events.
“We do have a new concession area, but we also have a new ticketing pricing offering for all the spectators this year, which includes basically as much food and non-alcoholic beverage as they want included in the price of the ticket,” Kerry Haigh, Chief Championships Officer of the PGA of America, told Golfweek.
During the four-day tournament, spectators are given a wristband allowing them to access food and non-alcoholic beverages. For each concession visit, fans can receive two entrees, two sides and two non-alcoholic beverages. There is no limit to the number of visits a fan can make, but PGA officials said they monitor for fans abusing the privilege. | https://www.fox13now.com/news/national/former-winner-rips-pga-championship-for-its-18-beers | 2022-05-20T16:29:17Z | https://www.fox13now.com/news/national/former-winner-rips-pga-championship-for-its-18-beers | true | 11 |
Dominican-Haiti border wall advances 700 meters
Dajabón, Dominican Republic,- The construction of the border wall to reinforce national security in the border area with Haiti, advances in 700 linear meters of ditches, embankments and concrete slabs.
This Friday the pace of the work could be observed in the Cepin sector, south of the city of Dajabón, where last February President Luis Abinader and the Ministry of Defense left the works started, which were later paralyzed to complete the feasibility and topography studies.
Wow almost a kilometer of about 400, at this rate it will be finished before 2100. | https://dominicantoday.com/dr/local/2022/05/20/dominican-haiti-border-wall-advances-700-meters/ | 2022-05-20T16:31:41Z | https://dominicantoday.com/dr/local/2022/05/20/dominican-haiti-border-wall-advances-700-meters/ | true | null |
Elon Musk visits Brazil to discuss Amazon, internet connectivity with Bolsonaro
The SpaceX chief posted that he was “super excited” to be in Brazil and said environmental monitoring of the Amazon was on the agenda - alongside a tree emoiji.
Elon Musk met Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil on Friday to discuss the protection of the Amazon rainforest and rural internet connectivity.
The SpaceX and Tesla chief posted on Twitter on Friday morning that he was “super excited” to be in the South American country and said environmental monitoring of the Amazon was on the agenda - posting a tree emoji.
The billionaire, who is currently in talks to buy social network Twitter, said he was also there for the launch of Starlink, a space-based system to bring internet access to underserved areas of the world, that will help connect thousands of unconnected schools in rural areas.
Fábio Faria, Brazilian Minister of Communications, welcomed Mr Musk and confirmed the subjects of the discussion but gave few other details adding only “let’s do this!!”
It remains unclear what Mr Musk’s discussions on the environmental monitoring of the Amazon with the Brazilian government will entail. Later Friday, Mr Bolsonaro and Mr Musk appeared in a video broadcast live on the president’s Facebook account in which they stood next to each other on stage answering questions from members of the audience.
“A lot can be done to improve quality of life through technology,” Mr Musk told the crowd, according to Associated Press.
The Amazon rainforest is one of the planet’s richest areas for biodiversity and is also the biggest in the world. Trees are crucial to slowing down climate change as they absorb carbon dioxide one of the greenhouse gases that is leading to the rapid rate of global heating.
Deforestation of the Amazon has boomed under Brazil’s right-wing president, who took office in 2019 having pledged to develop the Amazon, dismissing global concern about its destruction. Since then, Mr Bolsonaro’s government has boosted mining, cattle-ranching and logging in the rainforest.
At the end of last year, deforestation in the Amazon reached a 15-year-high after it jumped 22 per cent in a year, according to official data. Then in Janaury, new satellite data revealed that an estimated 166 square miles of forest was cleared in one month - more than five times the number of trees cut down as in the same period the year before.
The bumper deforestation month came after more than 100 nations - including Brazil - pledged to stop deforestation and begin restoring the world’s forests by the end of the decade, in an agreement that encompasses 85 per cent of the world’s forests.
Mr Musk meanwhile has been outspoken about the reality of climate change and the need to drastically cut emissions to avoid the worst impacts of global heating. He has called for a carbon tax, and has said cyptocurrency’s “promising future” cannot come at the expense of the environment.

Northside Food Co-Op appoints new leader
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A new leader has been appointed to the Northside Food Co-Op Board as the project gains momentum toward its goal of providing healthy food options to Wilmington’s Northside community.
According to a news release, since previous leader Evan Folds stepped down, Cierra Washington has been appointed as Project Manager to drive a community engagement plan to promote the store.
The site at 10th and Fanning streets is being funded and developed by New Hanover County, with assistance from the City of Wilmington, and the Food Co-Op will operate the store.
The Co-Op kicked off in 2018 by inviting community members to invest $100 to buy shares in the venture and give “owners” a voice in how the store is operated. In response to the plea to address the lack of grocery store in an area known to be a food desert for decades, more than 500 people committed to the project and in return, these “owners” will benefit from special offers.
In 2020, Folds assumed leadership of the Co-Op to rally community support and keep the project moving forward.
“I’m thankful for all the late night and early mornings of hard work that Evan has put into the Northside Food Coop up to this point,” said Chair of the Co-Op Board Cedric Harrison. “We found Evan and brought him onto the team during a time where if we had not done that we might not be where we currently are.”
The Co-Op tested the grocery concept in the area by opening “Frankie’s Market”, a farmer’s market at 11th and Princess streets, in 2021. Once proven to be successful, the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County came on board to help convert a city-owned plot.
“Thanks to the County and the City for their partnership and financial commitment,” said Harrison. “We can now move forward to the next level. I’m very excited as we bring Cierra Washington into our new leadership role.”

The fan’s sat nav had taken him the wrong way, and after arriving at a footpath above the cavern, the gig-goer slipped and fell, holding onto a tree to stop him plunging down a 100ft drop.
Derbyshire Police called in Edale Mountain Rescue to save the stricken man, with the singer abondaningin the show at the venue, known as ‘The Devil's Arse’.
Edale Mountain Rescue
Edale Mountain Rescue were called out at 8.50pm, and were on the scene for well over two hours carrying out the dramatic rescue.
One of the volunteers said: “A gentleman who had travelled to attend the ‘Devils Arse’ John Shuttleworth concert, had followed his sat nav while walking from his overnight accommodation to the cavern but had somehow managed to end up on a footpath above the cavern.
"He came into extreme difficulties and slipped, just managing to catch a tree to arrest his fall, inches from a 100ft drop to the cavern floor. Unfortunately the concert had to be cancelled, and people had to be evacuated from the area due to the danger of rocks being dislodged onto the concert goers below. #
"Team members made their way to the top and quickly rigged up a technical rope rescue system. Once this was all in place, a team member was lowered down to the gentlemans position, where he was secured into a rescue nappy.

He said the man had suffered a cut and some bruising above one of his eyes, but otherwise seemed fit and well.
The team hauled both the rescuer and the rescue man back up to the crag top, where he was handed over to a paramedic for further assessment.
Graham Fellows
He did not need to go to hospital and was given a lift back to his accommodation by a resue team member.
Mr Shuttleworth - real name Graham Fellows – said on Twitter today has pledged to write a song about the incident and perform it when he can complete the gig.
He said: “Last night a man was on the way to my gig, but got lost and slipped and fell off a cliff. He was saved by a tree stump, and rescued in a giant nappy!
“Delighted the man is safe and well, and I suppose I’ll have to write a song about the incident now. I can perform it when I return to finish the abandoned gig. I’ll let you know when it is, folks!”. He also thanks his audience for evacuating from the scene so quickly.
Jilted John
Mr Shuttleworth is well known for his humorous songs, and made his name with the television series 500 Bus Stops, with songs such as Smells Like White Spirit and Life is Like a Salad Bar.
Graham Fellows first hit the charts in the 1970s under the name of Jilted John, reaching number four in the charts
Fan Mark Perkins, from Millhouses, said shouting could be heard about 20 minutes into the show, and it became apparent something was wrong during the interval. There was shouting and the stricken man could be seen.
"What’s happened was almost like a John Shuttleworth song scenario,” he added. | https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-singer-john-shuttleworth-abandons-peak-cavern-after-rescue-team-called-for-stricken-fan-3703206 | 2022-05-20T16:40:01Z | https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-singer-john-shuttleworth-abandons-peak-cavern-after-rescue-team-called-for-stricken-fan-3703206 | false | 1 |

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes that Chelsea are the “obvious choice” for midfielder Paul Pogba this summer. The Frenchman joined the Red Devils for a then world-record transfer fee, but is set to leave Old Trafford on a free at the end of his deal this summer.
A number of clubs have been touted with a move for the World Cup winner, with the Blues being one of them. It comes ahead of a huge transfer window for Thomas Tuchel, who is looking to rebuild his squad.
That was something he admitted to in a recent press conference, with a number of players set to leave the club. He said: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.”
READ MORE:Chelsea news and transfers live: Dembele decision, N'Golo Kante future 'hint', Jorginho contract
One particular area for change could be the midfield, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante now entering their final year of their contracts. However, in spite of that, Tuchel has claimed that the latter is a key figure and may have hinted at a contract extension.
“I think he [Kante] is our key, key player but key, key players have to be on the pitch and he only plays 40% of games,” Tuchel said. “He is our Mo Salah, [Virgil] van Dijk. He is our Kylian Mbappe.”
And, in light of a midfield change and the claim from Tuchel on Kante, former striker Saha believes the club should make a move for Pogba on a free transfer. Speaking to LordPing, he said: “Chelsea is the obvious match for Pogba because he loves to play with N’Golo Kante.
“We always try to compare what he does with France and United and the ability of Kante makes Pogba play to another dimension and that’s the truth. Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled his dream.”
The pairing have, of course, played together many times for the French national team, with Kante’s ability to cover ground and put in challenges giving Pogba the freedom to express himself and be creative. Whether the move to Stamford Bridge could go through remains to be seen, although Pogba could add that 'x factor' that the Blues need going forward. | https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-paul-pogba-kylian-mbappe-24019992 | 2022-05-20T16:40:22Z | https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-paul-pogba-kylian-mbappe-24019992 | false | 1 |

California lawmakers won’t be creating a state Election Day holiday this year. Nor will they be providing grants to local governments to convert public golf courses into affordable housing, or forcing health insurers to cover fertility treatments.
All of these proposals were victims of the seasonal culling of bills known as the suspense file. This stately and secretive process, led by the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees, serves as a final fiscal review before any legislation expected to have a significant cost to the state is sent to the full chamber for a vote.
In fast and furious hearings on Thursday that stretched for two hours, the committees ran through the fates of nearly 1,000 bills, offering no explanations for their decisions and, in many cases, no formal announcement at all that a measure was held.
The results had already been determined in private deliberations. The suspense file, among the most opaque practices at the Capitol, allows legislative leaders to not only shelve proposals that are too expensive, but to also more quietly dispatch those that are controversial or politically inconvenient, particularly in an election year.
About 220 bills were shelved. The bills that made it through — more than 700 of them — now face another looming deadline next week to pass out of their house of origin. If successful, they will move to the other chamber for further consideration.
Here are some of the notable measures that are not advancing this session:
Election Day holiday
Five times Assemblymember Evan Low, a Campbell Democrat, has tried to create a state holiday for the November election, closing schools and giving public employees paid time off to vote. And five times the bill has been held on the Assembly suspense file, including again this year.
Assembly Bill 1872 was slightly different from several of its predecessors in that it would have swapped out Presidents’ Day with an Election Day holiday in even-numbered years, rather than simply adding another day off, thereby lowering its cost. But with every California voter now being mailed a ballot in every election, the urgency for such a plan has diminished considerably.
A separate measure to create a state holiday for Juneteenth, Assembly Bill 1655 by Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a Los Angeles Democrat, advanced to the floor, however.
Affordable housing
If a powerful interest group swings hard enough at a bill, they just might kill it. That’s what happened when nearly 80 local, regional and national golf groups, as well as several organizations that favor local control over housing development, coalesced against Assemblymember Cristina Garcia’s Assembly Bill 1910.
The measure targeted the state’s hundreds of municipal golf courses, many of which are operating at significant financial losses, as prime locations to help the state build its way out of its housing shortage. It would have offered grants to local governments to convert their golf courses into housing, at least a quarter of which would have to be affordable to low-income families. The result wasn’t too surprising: everyone wants affordable housing, until it threatens to come to their backyard — or local golf course.

Fertility treatment
Assemblymember Buffy Wicks’ push to require health insurers to cover fertility treatment, including costly in-vitro fertilization, fell short for the third time in four years.
Unlike 17 other states, California does not require health insurers to pay for fertility treatments. A round of in vitro and the accompanying medication can cost upwards of $20,000, deterring some people from having children and leaving others in exorbitant debt.
Assembly Bill 2029 by Wicks, an Oakland Democrat, was opposed by health insurance plans and other business groups, which noted the high price tag: an estimated $715 million that would be fronted by employers and health plan enrollees largely in the form of increased premiums.
— Ana B. Ibarra
Salary transparency
Assembly Bill 2095 by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, a San Jose Democrat, was a first-in-the-nation bill that would have required large companies to report a broad swath of data on their workforce, including how much they are paid and what benefits they receive. The state could have used that information to provide the public with easy-to-understand measurements of how companies treat their employees and to give top performers certain perks, like tax credits.
But the bill faced ardent opposition from business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, which put the bill on its “job killer” list — the collection of measures it lobbies against most aggressively each year. The Chamber argued that the data would create unfair comparisons between companies or be taken out of context.
Legislators did advance another workplace transparency proposal on the “job killer” list: Senate Bill 1162 by Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat, which would require companies to make some pay data public, including salary ranges in job posting, passed with a few amendments, including one that exempted companies with 15 or fewer workers.

Community college professor pay
Part-time community college faculty are having a mixed moment in Sacramento. A pending $200 million health care fund they’ve championed has the support of the governor. But a bill to match the wages of part-time community faculty with full-time faculty for similar levels of work died on the suspense file.
Assembly Bill 1752 by Miguel Santiago, a Los Angeles Democrat, would have increased community college costs by an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars annually. That the cost is so high speaks to the enormous wage gap between part-time faculty — who are typically paid only for the hours they teach, but not for other related work like lesson planning and grading — and their full-time salaried peers.
A majority of community college faculty are part-time, earning on average $20,000 per year. Labor unions backed this bill while the organization representing community college executives opposed it, arguing that they were already struggling to meet staffing obligations in an era of declining student enrollment.
“Educators are deeply disappointed,” Claudia Briggs, spokesperson for the California Teachers Association, said in a text message. “AB 1752 was the right thing to do for students and part-time faculty in a year that the state budget has the resources.”
— Mikhail Zinshteyn
Oil consumption and drilling
Assembly Bill 2816 by Assemblymember Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat, was meant to provide a boost for California’s signature program to persuade drivers to swap their gas guzzlers for electric cars. The measure would have directed the California Air Resources Board to restructure the rebates for zero-emission vehicle purchases so that consumers would receive more money for giving up cars that used more gasoline. But the proposal failed to garner widespread support among environmental groups.
The fossil fuel industry and the labor unions that represent its workers also flexed their considerable muscle at the Capitol again, helping to kill Senate Bill 953 by Sen. Dave Min, a Costa Mesa Democrat. After a massive oil spill near the coast of Huntington Beach last fall, Min had sought to shut down the three remaining offshore rigs in state waters by requiring California to negotiate an end to their use in the next two years. Even as Democratic leaders eye phasing out oil and gas production in the state over the coming decades, they’ve been reluctant to take even modest steps to limit drilling more immediately. Min’s bill was further undercut by concerns about potential financial liabilities to taxpayers should the state take ownership of the rigs.

As of this week, children ages 5 to 11 can officially join the boosted community, after both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration signed off on Pfizer’s booster for the age group. Dr. Ashish Jha applauded the move, urging Americans to get their eligible children boosted.
Jha, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, has a 10-year-old son and said on Twitter his plan is simple: “Follow the evidence and get him boosted.”
The doctor, who is on leave from serving as dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said he has a few reasons for doing so, mainly that “kids are way better off vaccinated than not.”
Throughout the pandemic it has been clear that, on the whole, kids fare better through an infection with COVID-19 than adults and other at-risk groups.
“Obviously kids are lower risk than the elderly,” Jha said.
But the doctor said that is not the right comparison to make, seeing as kids are at lower risk of many things than the elderly.
Instead, COVID-19 should be compared to other risks kids face, he said.
COVID-19, based on the numbers, is more dangerous to kids than other illnesses that children are vaccinated against, Jha pointed out. COVID-19 vaccinations “dramatically lower [the] risk of hospitalizations and deaths for children,” he said.
Jha noted that vaccines also “dramatically lower” the risk of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, a serious condition associated with COVID-19 that can lead to inflammation of children’s organs. He called the risks of the vaccines in children ages 5 to 11 “trivial” and said they are far outweighed by the risk of complications from coronavirus.
“Evidence for Omicron is clear: a 3rd dose helps. A lot,” Jha wrote. “So if you have a 5-11 year-old at home and that kiddo got their last dose 5 months ago or more it’s time for a 3rd dose. Infections are high, a 3rd dose provides real additional protection. That’s why I’m getting my 10-year-old a boost.”
For people in Massachusetts looking to get their children vaccinated, children are able to receive the Pfizer pediatric booster at “hundreds of locations across the Commonwealth,” ranging from pharmacies, to doctors offices, to state-supported vaccination sites, according to the Baker-Polito administration.
“As a pediatrician and as a parent, I want to stress that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 is safe and effective in preventing severe illness and hospitalizations in children, and I encourage parents and families to get their children boosted and contact their health care provider if they have any questions,” Estevan Garcia, the Department of Public Health’s chief medical officer, said in a statement.
To find specific locations offering the pediatric booster, people can use VaxFinder, which is run by the state, or can call their primary care provider, according to the state.
Below, read Jha’s full thread:

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Prosecutors in Poland have filed blackmailing charges against the former manager of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
Cezary Kucharski publicly accused the Poland national team captain and his wife of tax irregularities in Germany and threatened to reveal the details if they didn’t pay 20 million euros ($21.1 million).
Lewandowski, who has won the last two FIFA best player awards, has denied any wrongdoing and has sued Kucharski, who served as his manager for almost 10 years up to 2018.
Kucharski could face up to three years in prison if convicted.
Kucharski, a former Poland national team soccer player, was hospitalized earlier this year in Spain and put into an induced coma. He is now recovering in Spain.
