New Delhi, May 23 The overnight rainfall in the national capital plummeted the temperature in the city, yet disrupted normal life.
As per reports, the rain caused massive traffic jams in various parts of Delhi leaving commuters stranded in long queues of vehicles at major roads like ITO junction among others.
Some trees were also uprooted due to the strong winds and thunderstorms in and around Delhi. A big tree that fell near the Delhi cantonment area blocked the traffic from both sides, causing inconvenience to the commuters.
Apart from traffic jams, water-logging was also reported from all the low-lying areas of the city.
Starting in the wee hours, Delhi-NCR and large parts of northwest India witnessed a massive dust storm first followed by gusty winds and a thunderstorm accompanied with lightning bringing down the surface temperature by 11 notches.
The IMD had earlier predicted a wet spell for northwest India for three days, from May 22 to 24 with peak intensity on May 23.
Meanwhile, flight operations at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport were also disrupted. The airport authorities requested the passengers to reach out to the airline concerned for updated flight information.

Ignoring the ringing doorbell might no longer keep you safe from the ever persistent NHK Man.
Ask anyone who has lived in Japan for a period of time what the three most annoying things here are and they’ll probably tell you — mosquitoes, cockroaches, and the NHK Man. It might seem surprising that a public broadcasting company has earned such universal loathing, but as the collection agents who come calling for NHK fees are notorious for collecting fees in a way not dissimilar to loan sharks, it’s not hard to understand why.
Now, thanks to a new initiative from Japan Post, the NHK Man’s ruthless pestering to get people to cough up for a TV license won’t just be limited to persistent door-to-door calls, but through the post as well.
On June 17, Japan Post announced a new special service where post can be delivered without the need for the recipient’s name — just an address will be enough to get it delivered. The service was introduced on a trial basis last June to help “support NHK subscription fee collection operations” in areas such as sending out bank transfer forms and documents to households without an NHK license. After several other companies requested to be able to use the services, the ‘Special Delivery Mail’ service was made official.
Each item sent will cost, on top of regular postage fees, an additional 150 yen ($US1.17) for standard mail — considerably cheaper than the average NHK Man hourly salary.
Netizens had a lot to say about Japan Post’s new initiative; considering how unanimously disliked NHK is, most of the comments were unsurprisingly negative.
“NHK are getting desperate! This is no different to regular junk mail. Trash.”
“If the NHK have the money to spend on this kind of thing, they should use it instead to scrap the license fees.”
“Considering all we’re going to do is rip up the letters and throw them away, what’s the point?”
“I can see this turning into some sort of breeding ground for fraud.”
Sadly, the new initiative from the Post Office means that this tactic at getting the NHK Man to leave you alone might not be as effective anymore. Anyone wishing to avoid paying the fee will have to think of more creative ways to keep their letter boxes NHK free, like nailing a board over the mail slot. Alternatively, you can just… you know, pay up.

China plans to extend subsidies for electric vehicles amid declining car sales
China is in talks with automakers about extending subsidies for electric vehicles (EV) that were set to expire in 2022, reports Reuters. The report claims that China is aiming to push the market growth as the broader economy slows. The development comes at a time when the world's second-largest economy is witnessing a decline in its car sales. The report claims that government departments including the Ministry of Information and Industrial Technology (MIIT) are considering a continuation of subsidies to electric vehicle buyers in 2023.

China created one of the largest and most expensive incentive programs for electric vehicles, which resulted in the country becoming the world's largest EV market. The subsidy program started in 2009 and since then around $14.8 billion has been handed out to the buyers, up to the end of 2021. Now, with the subsidy program about to stop, EV sales in the country are declining, which prompted the Chinese government to rethink the strategy and mull the idea of extending the program further.
The subsidies for electric vehicles are offered for not only EVs made by Chinese auto companies but to other non-Chinese players as well. This is one of the key reasons why Tesla has witnessed massive growth in the country. Previously, the EV subsidy scheme was scheduled to be phased out by the end of 2020, but China extended it for two years to spur demand in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The incentives for buying EVs have stoked purchases of cars with a longer driving range. In the Chinese EV market, smaller battery-powered city cars make up 40 per cent of EV sales. However, these EVs are not under the ambit of the subsidy program. The EV subsidies are now targeted at bigger models, with a driving range of more than 300 kilometres per charge and priced under $44,459. | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/electric-vehicles/china-plans-to-extend-subsidies-for-electric-vehicles-amid-declining-car-sales-41653281414267.html | 2022-05-23T05:20:07Z | https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/electric-vehicles/china-plans-to-extend-subsidies-for-electric-vehicles-amid-declining-car-sales-41653281414267.html | false | 1 |

Liverpool - Missing out on the Premier League title on the last day of the season has given Liverpool an extra edge heading into the Champions League final, manager Jurgen Klopp said.
Liverpool came from behind to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at Anfield but City hit back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa and clinch back-to-back titles.
Liverpool, who have already won the League Cup and FA Cup, could add a seventh European crown to their collection in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday.
"This season is absolutely incredible and will not end today, it ends next week obviously," Klopp told reporters. "And there we will try absolutely everything.
"We have now five days to prepare the final, that's what we will do.

"And of course, losing the league today increased the desire to put it right next week, it increased the desire."
Klopp also congratulated City and manager Pep Guardiola on winning their fourth Premier League title in five years.
"I am proud but I'm disappointed, of course, as well," Klopp said. "There are maybe worse scenarios, if you would have been a point up and don't make it, that might feel even worse.
"Congratulations to Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, all staff, all players, whole club, for being champions. We were close but in the end not close enough. That's how it is."
Liverpool face the Spanish champions in Paris on May 28 in a rematch of the 2018 showpiece in Kiev, which Real Madrid won 3-1.

Murathe: Azimio needs Kalonzo back
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka is in Azimio la Umoja coalition to stay, Jubilee Vice-Chairman David Murathe has said.
Mr Murathe said the coalition needs Mr Kalonzo in the alliance to bring inclusivity and to ensure Eastern votes as delivered as a block in the August 9 polls.
He said politically, the Wiper leader can leave but legally he is bound by law to remain in the coalition.
"Mr Kalonzo has been a beneficiary of coalitions and him remaining in Azimio will make impact more in his political career. He can leave but he will not have any bargaining power in any coalition since he is bound by laws to remain in the coalition six months before and three months after election," said the vice chair.
In an exclusive with Daily Nation in Malindi, Mr Murathe, however, maintained that Mr Kalonzo is free to do what he feels since Azimio is a willing parties coalition and no party can be forced to remain.
"He can go it alone or support whoever thinks if the law allows," he said.
He said Mr Kalonzo has now been offered a position of Speaker of National Assembly, which is the third highest rank in the government, since in the absence of President and the deputy, he will run the government.
"Every election period, laws change and he (Mr Kalonzo) has been a beneficiary but this election period is clear and we want it to be followed to the later," said Murathe.
He added, "In Azimio we have offered Wiper leader a position, which he will progress politically and benefit the Eastern people unlike in the other coalition where he is being offered position, which they opposed during the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) document and that is the irony we are seeing."
On the coming General Election, the Jubilee Vice-Chairman said the election will be won in the first round and that coalition has agreed on some areas where they will have to zone to win the seats.
"Each political party has a right to field candidate in any position but in areas where we feel about if we shall divide our votes in favour of our opponent, we sit and agree who front depending on strength and weakness of the candidates to win seat as Azimio coalition. We need numbers to push legislation in parliaments to run the government effectively," he said.
On whether President Uhuru Kenyatta will start campaigning for Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga, Mr Murathe said Kenyans should not expect that since he has adequate roles to play as the Head of State and also as chairman of the 26 political parties of Azimio la Umoja coalition.
"You will not expect President Kenyatta to be on the top of vehicles campaigning for Raila but he has already expressed his desire on who people to vote for. As the only remaining President since independence, he will be ready to hand over instruments of power to whoever wins," he said.
He added, "But he is free to continue reminding Kenyans to vote for Mr Odinga whenever he is inspecting the many projects he has delivered during his tenure." | https://nation.africa/kenya/news/politics/murathe-azimio-needs-kalonzo-back-3824210 | 2022-05-23T05:55:19Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/news/politics/murathe-azimio-needs-kalonzo-back-3824210 | true | 1 |
Which indoor herb garden is best?
An indoor herb garden is the perfect accessory for any cook’s kitchen. Fresh cilantro, basil or mint can add a new dimension to any homemade dish, and indoor herb gardens are a convenient and stress-free way to up your flavor game. Many herb garden starter kits come complete with low-maintenance watering systems and stylish pots that match your indoor decor.
The best indoor herb garden is the AeroGarden Bounty. With space for nine plants, an LED light to keep them growing and built-in hydroponics, this unit is ideal for those who want an all-in-one, no-hassle system.
What to know before you buy an indoor herb garden
Hydroponic systems
In a hydroponic system, your herbs grow in water, not soil. This can be beneficial for a number of reasons. Growing with soil can sometimes lead to harmful cross-contamination. Also, growing in soil can sometimes be messy, especially during watering phases. Hydroponic systems use about 10% less water than growing with soil. Overall, hydroponic indoor gardens are easier to maintain and offer a less intrusive way of herb gardening. This list of the best indoor herb gardens features some great hydroponic systems.
Planters
Planters are the containers that hold the soil. This is a more traditional way of indoor gardening where you can use pots, tubs or even recycled milk jugs to grow your herbs. If you have a sunny windowsill and a little extra time on your hands, you can opt for an indoor herb garden that utilizes planters. This will require more oversight, however, and you’ll have to purchase the soil separately.
LED lighting
At a minimum, herbs should receive about five hours of sunlight per day. This can be difficult depending on where you live or how much sunlight your windows receive. One of the main reasons for purchasing an indoor herb garden with a lighting system is that you don’t have to worry about sunlight management. With LED lighting, your plants will always get the appropriate amount of light. Most LED lighting for gardening uses full-spectrum lighting, which acts as indoor sunlight. These particular systems can either be hydroponic or soil-based.
What to look for in a quality indoor herb garden
Controls
If you use Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home, you’re familiar with the benefits of smart systems. Some indoor herb gardens have built-in smart systems that make it easy to maintain your plants. While some use apps you can control from your phone, others use LCD screens built into the garden itself. These controls let you adjust the lighting, set timers for watering and remind you to add nutrients.
Plant capacity
Indoor herb gardens are not one size fits all. Most gardens allow three to nine plants to be grown simultaneously. If you choose a planter-style garden, your plants will be limited to the amount of containers that come with your system. Hydroponic gardens have a little more flexibility in that they generally can house more plants at once.
Design
Designs vary greatly when it comes to indoor herb gardens, and some may match your decor better than others. Hydroponic gardens tend to have a more modern, futuristic look to them. These systems often feature white or black plastic and sleek designs. If you have all black appliances, this may be the way to go. Planter gardens tend to use rustic designs with a farmhouse feel. You can also find unique structures such as totally vertical gardens, where your herbs will stack on top of one another like a living skyscraper.
How much you can expect to spend on an indoor herb garden
Indoor herb gardens range in cost from $19 to $200.
Indoor herb garden FAQ
What types of herbs can you grow in an indoor herb garden?
A. A large variety of herbs will flourish in an indoor garden environment. If you’re interested in more unique plants, double-check that they will thrive in an indoor climate. Ordinary herbs such as basil, thyme, chives, mint, rosemary and parsley grow very well in indoor herb gardens.
Can you grow organically in an indoor herb garden?
A. Yes. Organic herbs grow in an indoor garden just like nonorganic herbs. Some starter kits come with seeds, so check with the manufacturer beforehand. If the seeds contain pesticides or certain fertilizers, then they are not organic.

Historic Eastern WA nuclear reactor reopens for public tours at Hanford
The public can once again step inside the world’s first production scale nuclear reactor, a facility that launched the atomic age.
The Department of Energy is resuming free public tours of historic B Reactor, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park at the Hanford site near Richland in Eastern Washington.
The tours had been closed for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Registration is now open for tours that start May 26 and continue into November. The tours will be offered six days a week through the summer and during the Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day holiday weekends.
“Touring the B Reactor is like stepping back into the WWII era,” said Colleen French, DOE program manager for the national park at Hanford. “It’s certainly a marvel of science and engineering, but it represents so much more than that.”
B Reactor was built in just 11 months as the allies feared that Nazi Germany would beat them to the production of an atomic bomb.
It produced the plutonium used in the Trinity Test in the New Mexico desert, the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, in July 1945.
It then made plutonium that fueled the Fat Man atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945 to help end WWII.
“Visitors will have the opportunity to learn from docents at the reactor and to spend time on their own as they ponder the questions raised by the Manhattan Project and its profound impacts,” French said.
Visitors can stand beneath the towering face of the reactor, where 200 tons of uranium slugs were loaded into aluminum tubes.
They also will visit the control room, where a crowd of scientists and engineers gathered to start up the reactor for the first time in September 1944. They were unsure if the reactor would power up as hoped or whether a runaway chain reaction might blow it up.
Neither happened, as visitors on the tour will learn.
The B Reactor tours are a significant tourism draw, said Michael Novakovich, chief executive of Visit Tri-Cities.
The Manhattan Project National Historical Park, created in 2015, includes historic properties at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Los Alamos, N.M., in addition to Hanford in Eastern Washington , all of them key to the dawn of the atomic age during WWII.
The Hanford portion of the park also includes a high school, bank, water pump house and fruit warehouse still standing after settlers were ordered to leave in 1943 for the secret military project.
A pre-WWII historic tour also is offered at Hanford, but has yet to resume post COVID.
Register for B Reactor tour
Registration for the B Reactor tours is available online at manhattanprojectbreactor.hanford.gov . Visitors with questions can also call the visitor center at 2000 Logston Blvd., Richland, or call 509-376-1647.
Buses for the tours will leave the Richland visitor center for a walking tour of the reactor. They take about four hours total.
Tours are open to people of all ages and nationalities. Cameras and cell phones are welcome.
A limited number of group tours also can be arranged for a minimum of 20 people.
Hanford cleanup tours
DOE also has offered bus tours in the past of the secure areas of Hanford where environmental cleanup is being done.
But they are not scheduled to resume.
The Department of Energy is instead offering virtual tours at hanford.gov .
The Hanford site produced nearly two-thirds of the plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons program from World War II through the Cold War. Now about $2.5 billion a year is spent on cleanup of radioactive and hazardous chemical waste and contamination at the 580-square-mile site.
Interest in the tours had decreased as some projects had been largely completed and there was less to see as cleanup work has focused on fewer, but significant projects.
For instance, most cleanup of the area along the Columbia River has been completed, highly radioactive sludge has been transferred out of underwater storage at the K Reactors and the Plutonium Finishing Plant has been demolished.
There also is concern that tours not distract workers on key projects, such as retrieving radioactive waste from underground tanks and preparing waste to be glassified at the $17 billion vitrification plant as soon as the end of 2023 for permanent disposal.
Hanford virtual tours
The virtual tours highlight 20 Hanford project with program descriptions and offer 360-degree camera views.
They also allow people inside facilities, such as the vitrification plant and a large central Hanford groundwater treatment plant, that people on bus tours could not see.
The virtual tours have been popular, with more than 99,000 visits since January 2021, according to DOE.
In some cases, DOE has provided a person to act as a guide and answer questions for online tours for organizations taking the virtual tour.
Some in-person tours have begun to resume for limited groups of people with a specific interest in the site.
They include government officials, advisory boards, tribes and the news media. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605926046783/historic-eastern-wa-nuclear-reactor-reopens-for-public-tours-at-hanford | 2022-05-23T06:01:57Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2605926046783/historic-eastern-wa-nuclear-reactor-reopens-for-public-tours-at-hanford | false | 5 |
Police arrest woman after 6-year-old son’s body found in trunk
MOUND, Minn. (AP) - Authorities and family members said a 28-year-old woman was arrested after police found her 6-year-old son’s body in the trunk of her bloodied car in a Minneapolis suburb.
Orono police said the woman and a man were arrested on suspicion of murder after the boy’s body was found Friday. They haven’t yet been formally charged.
When officers stopped the car in Mound, Minnesota, they noticed blood inside the vehicle.
Police have not yet released details about the boy or the circumstances of his death.
Family members identified the victim to WCCO as Eli Hart and his mother as Julissa Thaler. They said Eli’s father was trying to win custody at the time of his death.
The boy had been placed back with his mother in December after nearly a year in foster care.

Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts has said she loves her body “more than ever” as she appeared on the cover of Women’s Health UK with a visible stoma bag.
The 43-year-old presenter revealed in October she was undergoing treatment for stomach cancer and later had a tumour removed through surgery.
She now uses a stoma bag, which attaches to her abdomen and collects her faeces, and has also been undergoing chemotherapy.
Roberts discussed staying strong mentally throughout her treatment during a photoshoot with Women’s Health UK.
She said: “Being diagnosed with cancer has meant I’ve learned to appreciate my body; be grateful that it works; be grateful they found the tumour in time to remove it and be grateful (that modern medicine means I can) have a stoma.
“I feel like I love my body more than ever.”
Addressing the importance of talking about cancer, she said: “One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives and I think the more we can actually talk about it, the less negatively affected people will be mentally, if and when that happens.
“That’s why it means so much – as someone undergoing cancer treatment and with a visible stoma – to be on the cover of Women’s Health.”
Roberts admitted she has spent a lot of time feeling “upset” about her diagnosis and added: “When I was in hospital, recovering after my surgeries, I would overhear conversations of other women on the ward and learn they had a much worse diagnosis than me – maybe terminal cancer – and that’s when I’d feel down.
“I think my strategy, so that I can stay stable while I’m on chemotherapy, is just to get on with it and try and not let it beat me mentally.
“Like, I need to sort of tackle it head-on, because that’s how I cope with things, but I understand everyone’s different.”
Roberts, who is bisexual and a campaigner for LGBT rights, also recalled meeting her partner Kate for the first time.
She said: “I remember seeing her and just thinking she was beautiful, but I didn’t know she was gay; then she mentioned that she was going on a date with a woman and that was it, she couldn’t get rid of me!”
Claire Sanderson, editor-in-chief of Women’s Health UK, hailed Roberts as a role model.
She said: “Wellness should always be an inclusive space and what better way to embody that than have someone as inspiring as Adele on the cover of Women’s Health.
“It’s an empowering, joyful image, full of positivity and spirit.
“Adele truly is a role model – not just within the wellness world, but for all women who have had to face up to serious illnesses like cancer.
“Her mental strength – helped by talking with others and staying physically active – is quite incredible.
“ It’s been a privilege to publish and we’re incredibly proud to help Adele tell her story.”
Roberts, from Southport, Merseyside, first found fame in Channel 4’s Big Brother series in 2002 where one of her housemates was Jade Goody, who died in 2009 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
She joined the BBC in 2012 as part of the Radio 1 Xtra team, before moving to Radio 1 in 2015 to host the Early Breakfast Show and last year she took over the Weekend Breakfast programme. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/adele-roberts-cancer-update-appears-24032455 | 2022-05-23T06:17:12Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/adele-roberts-cancer-update-appears-24032455 | false | 9 |
During a debate about Leeds’s evolution, panellists argued that there should be more of a focus on family in the city centre, instead of just creating ‘corporate’ green spaces.
Sharon Brigden, owner and founder of SLBPR, said: “There’s not even a swing in the middle of Leeds. We promote ourselves as a family-friendly city but I think we could do more.
“The city is doing brilliantly with the planning and the green spaces that we’re bringing in now but I think it would be really good to look at what the offering is as a family-friendly city and that would also help with retention.
“It wouldn’t be hard to do, we’ve still got space. We can’t promote ourselves as a family-friendly city when there isn’t even anywhere for a kid to go down a slide.”
Amy Leach, associate director at Leeds Playhouse, added: “I went to Copenhagen with my son when he was quite little and we had an amazing city break for exactly that reason.
“There are trampolines built into the sidewalks. You can do a lot of leisure activities in the heart of the city centre.
“Some of that is geographical but I look at some of the empty buildings we have post-pandemic and post-Brexit in Leeds and think about how we might reimagine those spaces and how they could be used to enable families to spend their time in the city centre.
“I think Leeds is already a green city - it’s much greener than a lot of UK cities and we have incredible access to a lot of green spaces, just not in the centre and I think that would be a great thing.”
The event, organised by Moda and hosted by The Yorkshire Post business reporter Lizzie Murphy, was part of The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), which saw over 5,000 delegates descend on Leeds for three days.
The wide-ranging debate, called This is Leeds!, saw four Leeds-based businesses from outside the built environment, talk about the city’s evolution and how this rise in interest has impacted their operations and experiences.
Bobby Thandi, founder and chief executive of XR Games, said: “We’ve got an amazing games industry based in Leeds, which is helping to put Leeds on the international map.
““You can also show international clients a really good time here. When Sony Pictures comes over I can take them to Man Behind the Curtain, Crafthouse, Issho, Tattu, and other great places and they can have a really good night out and they can’t wait to come again.
“Meanwhile, if we’re trying to attract a senior member of staff, we can highlight the great neighbourhoods or great schools, and for graduates it’s the property available in the city centre and nightlife.”
Gary Hetherington, chief executive of Leeds Rhinos, said: “The perception of Leeds externally is a really positive one. I think students look forward to coming to Leeds because it’s a great city.”
He added: “There’s also a real civic pride. It’s one of the few cities where sports fans support all the teams.” | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/more-family-friendly-parks-needed-in-leeds-city-centre-say-business-leaders-3702856 | 2022-05-23T06:22:13Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/more-family-friendly-parks-needed-in-leeds-city-centre-say-business-leaders-3702856 | true | 1 |

Authorities in Texas have been searching for a woman accused of fatally shooting an elite cyclist after discovering the athlete had been romantically involved with her cyclist partner.
The U.S. Marshals Service said it was looking for Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 35, in the May 11 killing of Anna Moriah Wilson, 25. Armstrong was last heard from on May 13, the affidavit says, according to NBC affiliate KXAN of Austin.
Austin police issued a homicide warrant for Armstrong on Tuesday, the Marshals Service said. It came nearly a week after police say a friend of Wilson's found her body at an Austin home on May 11. The cyclist had traveled to Texas for a race in Hico, southwest of Fort Worth, according to the cycling outlet Velo News.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by KXAN, Armstrong had been in a relationship with professional cyclist Colin Strickland for roughly three years. But during a break in their relationship, Strickland had begun seeing Wilson, the affidavit says.
Based on a search of Wilson's phone, investigators said messages indicated Wilson believed she was "still in a romantic relationship with Strickland even though he was currently dating Armstrong," the affidavit says, according to KXAN. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/authorities-search-woman-accused-fatally-shooting-elite-cyclist-texas/2899667/ | 2022-05-23T06:29:35Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/authorities-search-woman-accused-fatally-shooting-elite-cyclist-texas/2899667/ | true | 10 |

Afghan soldier absent on day of alleged killing, says Ben Roberts-Smith witness
An Afghan soldier who was allegedly directed by Ben Roberts-Smith to order the unlawful execution of a prisoner was not present on the day in question, according to a former elite soldier supporting the war veteran in his defamation case.
Person 39, a former Special Air Service soldier whose identity cannot be revealed for national security reasons, gave evidence in the Federal Court on Monday about his service alongside Roberts-Smith in Afghanistan in 2012.
He was asked about a key detail relating to a mission in October that year, during which The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times have alleged Roberts-Smith directed an Afghan soldier working with the SAS, dubbed Person 12, to shoot a prisoner or order one of his subordinates to do it.
Under the rules of engagement, prisoners could not be killed.
Person 39, a former British Special Boat Service soldier, described himself as Roberts-Smith’s senior on that deployment, adding that “I still view myself more as a mentor kind of older person”.
He said he was informed at a briefing in 2012 that Person 12 had been stood down from working with the SAS in late July, meaning that the Afghan soldier could not have been present with Roberts-Smith in October. Person 39 agreed he had neither met nor worked with Person 12.
Roberts-Smith is suing the newspapers for defamation over a series of articles in 2018 that he says accuse him of war crimes including the unlawful killing of Afghan prisoners. He maintains any killings were carried out lawfully in the heat of battle.
The newspapers are seeking to rely on a defence of truth and allege Roberts-Smith was involved in six unlawful killings, including by directing Person 12 to shoot a prisoner or to order one of his subordinates to do it. Roberts-Smith has denied the alleged incident took place and has said Person 12 was not there on the day in question.
The presence or otherwise of Person 12 on the mission in October 2012 has been a much-debated issue in the defamation trial. Roberts-Smith conceded in court last year that, based on material produced by the Defence Department, the explanation in his written outline of evidence that Person 12 had been stood down was wrong. However, he maintains the Afghan soldier was not there.
Some of Roberts-Smith’s witnesses have maintained Person 12 had been stood down for shooting at a dog and inadvertently injuring an SAS soldier, while others have said they were mistaken about this account. Roberts-Smith’s witnesses have denied colluding over this evidence.
A serving SAS soldier dubbed Person 14, called to give evidence by the newspapers in February, told the court he witnessed Roberts-Smith tell an interpreter during the October 2012 mission to direct Person 12 to shoot a prisoner, “or I will”. That direction was ultimately relayed and a member of the partner force shot the Afghan man dead, he said.

Democratic Voters Rip Biden as Approval Rating Tumbles to a New Low: 'He Hasn't Delivered on Any of the Promises'
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 percent 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 that the economy is good, both down from about 3 in 10 a month earlier. Those drops were concentrated among Democrats, with just 33 percent within the president’s party saying the country is headed in the right direction, down from 49 percent in April.
Of particular concern for Biden ahead of the midterm elections, his approval among Democrats stands at 73 percent, 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 percent.
The findings reflect a widespread sense of exasperation.
“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.
“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.”
Less than 1 in 10 Republicans 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 skyrocketing gas prices.
“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 percent of Americans say Biden’s policies have done more to help than hurt the economy, down slightly from 24 percent in March. Fifty-one percent say they’ve done more to hurt than help, while 30 percent 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 percent to 37 percent, though just 18 percent say they’ve done more to hurt.
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 bigger impact than Biden’s decisions. But the 58-year-old Democrat is now questioning the benefits of Biden’s 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 — immigration.
Only 38 percent back Biden on immigration, and Morales is disappointed by the scenes of illegal 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.
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 is the war in Ukraine. “We are spending a lot of money going to the Ukraine and all that is going to the deficit,” Morales said.
Overall, 45 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the U.S. relationship with Russia, while 54 percent disapprove. That’s held steady each month since the war in Ukraine began. Seventy-three percent of Democrats and 15 percent of Republicans approve.
The new poll shows just 21 percent of Americans say they have “a great deal of confidence” in Biden’s ability to handle the situation in Ukraine; 39 percent say they have some confidence and 39 percent say they have hardly any.
Charles Penn, a retired factory worker in Huntington, Indiana, is satisfied with Biden’s performance on Ukraine. 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.

When the Indigenous villagers of Tebing Tinggi agreed to give control of their ancestral land to a palm oil company in 1995, it promised to transform their fortunes. The Suku Anak Dalam were subsistence farmers, gathering fruit and hunting game in the rainforest. The deal could give them a cut of a lucrative industry that was expanding rapidly across the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia. The company, London Sumatra, would take control of the community’s land. In return, according to the Suku Anak Dalam, they were told they would get more than half of it back, planted with oil palms, a wonder crop whose oil was in rising demand across the globe. It would be a win-win, as the Suku Anak Dalam would sell the fruit they harvested to the company. “The promise was a lie,” Mat Yadi, a Suku Anak Dalam leader, told us recently. “Nothing was returned to us. They took everything.” Over a quarter century, London Sumatra’s oil palms grew tall and the bright-orange fruit flooded into its mill, producing millions of dollars’ worth of edible oil. But the Suku Anak Dalam never received the smallholdings they say they were promised. They lost not only the expected profits from the oil palm, but their land too. By 2022, many of the tribe were living in makeshift huts inside a plantation, scraping together what income they could by picking up fruitlets that dropped to the ground when bunches of palm fruit were harvested.

NANCY, Ky. (AP) — Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument and Mill Springs National Cemetery are working together to honor military service members who died in the line of duty.
Memorial Day events will begin at the Mill Springs Battlefield with a remembrance ceremony at Zollicoffer Park to reflect on the Civil War battle, officials said in a statement. Afterward, U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Dean Collins will speak the National Cemetery for a service to honor those who died while serving in the military.
After the Battle of Mill Springs in 1862, officials ordered that fallen soldiers be buried one mile from the battlefield and the site became a national cemetery authorized by Congress. When the cemetery opened in 1867, there were 708 internments, and there are currently over 4,000 buried there.
Veterans, active-duty service members, their families and the public are invited to attend the ceremony. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Mill-Springs-battlefield-cemetery-partner-for-17191483.php | 2022-05-23T07:20:29Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Mill-Springs-battlefield-cemetery-partner-for-17191483.php | false | null |
New NBC Report Offers Powerful Evidence Biden Lied About Hunter and China During Trump Debate - Here's the Video
During the 2020 election cycle, Democratic nominee Joe Biden repeatedly said that he had no knowledge about his son Hunter’s business deals. He also denied that Hunter made money from China.
Now, after two years of refusing to report the facts about the Bidens, some in the establishment media are beginning to roll out evidence that the president might have lied.
For example, during the presidential debate on Oct. 22, 2020, moderator Kristen Welker asked Joe Biden about his son’s business activities in China and Ukraine.
He quite directly responded by denying any claims that Hunter Biden had made money from deals in China.
In fact, Biden struck back and said the only person who had made money from China was Trump.
“My son has not made money in terms of this thing about — what are you talking about — China,” he said. “I have not had it. The only guy that made money from China is this guy [Trump]. He’s the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.”
Just after his father took office, Hunter Biden himself said he was “absolutely certain” he would be exonerated during any investigation.
“I’m cooperating completely. And I am absolutely certain, 100 percent certain that at the end of the investigation, that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing,” he said in an April 2021 interview with CBS News after the Department of Justice announced it was investigating his taxes.
With this in mind, it is important to note that Joe Biden and his son are on record forcefully denying that Hunter made any money in China and declaring that there were no improprieties in Hunter’s tax filings.
But facts are emerging that paint a very different picture.
For instance, on his taxes, Hunter Biden has yet to explain why high-powered Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris handed over an incredible gift of $2 million to pay off one of his back tax bills.
This incredible boon was reported two weeks ago by the New York Post, which did not offer an explanation as to why Morris was so generous.
The Post was vilified and censored on social media in October 2020 when it reported on the information contained on a laptop that Hunter Biden accidentally abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop.
Now, the left-wing media are finally recognizing that the newspaper got it right.
On Thursday, NBC News reported that emails on that laptop show that Hunter Biden’s firm took in $11 million between 2013 and 2018 and that a portion of those earnings came from deals made with China.
But the report noted that the $11 million was spent awfully quickly.
“Expenditures compiled on his hard drive show he spent more than $200,000 per month from October 2017 through February 2018 on luxury hotel rooms, Porsche payments, dental work and cash withdrawals,” NBC News reported.
The outlet also said one of Hunter Biden’s business partners advised him to revise his tax returns upward by $400,000.
As to China, NBC News said it was a big part of Hunter’s income.
“Biden made $5.8 million, more than half his total earnings from 2013 to 2018, from two deals with Chinese business interests,” the report said.
“Biden’s most lucrative business relationship was acting as a consultant in a project with a company that belongs to a once-powerful Chinese businessman who is now thought to be detained in his homeland,” it said.
This is strong evidence that Joe Biden wasn’t truthful during his 2020 campaign.
As to the president’s claims that he never had any knowledge about his son’s business deals, that too seems like a deliberate falsehood.
According to the New York Post, there are at least a dozen examples of Hunter business deals in which Joe played a role.
So far, the establishment media have not made a big deal about all this. One would think it would be huge news: a president who apparently ran on a lie about his son, who reportedly made — and hid — millions of dollars in income from America’s chief global rival.
Just imagine if the Biden family’s last name was Trump.

When Vladimir Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine, war seemed far away from Russian territory. Yet within days the conflict came home — not with cruise missiles and mortars but in the form of unprecedented and unexpectedly extensive volleys of sanctions by Western governments and economic punishment by corporations.
Three months after the Feb. 24 invasion, many ordinary Russians are reeling from those blows to their livelihoods and emotions. Moscow’s vast shopping malls have turned into eerie expanses of shuttered storefronts once occupied by Western retailers.
McDonald’s — whose opening in Russia in 1990 was a cultural phenomenon, a shiny modern convenience coming to a dreary country ground down by limited choices — pulled out of Russia entirely in response to its invasion of Ukraine. IKEA, the epitome of affordable modern comforts, suspended operations. Tens of thousands of once-secure jobs are now suddenly in question in a very short time.
People are also reading…
Major industrial players including oil giants BP and Shell and automaker Renault walked away, despite their huge investments in Russia. Shell has estimated it will lose about $5 billion by trying to unload its Russian assets.
While the multinationals were leaving, thousands of Russians who had the economic means to do so were also fleeing, frightened by harsh new government moves connected to the war that they saw as a plunge into full totalitarianism. Some young men may have also fled in fear that the Kremlin would impose a mandatory draft to feed its war machine.
But fleeing had become much harder than it once was — the European Union's 27 nations, along with the United States and Canada had banned flights to and from Russia. The Estonian capital of Tallinn, once an easy long-weekend destination 90 minutes by air from Moscow, suddenly took at least 12 hours to reach on a route through Istanbul.
Even vicarious travel via the Internet and social media has narrowed for Russians. Russia in March banned Facebook and Instagram — although that can be circumvented by using VPNs — and shut access to foreign media websites, including the BBC, the U.S. government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
After Russian authorities passed a law calling for up to 15 years’ imprisonment for stories that include “fake news” about the war, many significant independent news media shut down or suspended operations. Those included the Ekho Moskvy radio station and Novaya Gazeta, the newspaper whose editor Dmitry Muratov shared the most recent Nobel Peace Prize.
The psychological cost of the repressions, restrictions and shrinking opportunities could be high on ordinary Russians, although difficult to measure. Although some public opinion polls in Russia suggest support for the Ukraine war is strong, the results are likely skewed by respondents who stay silent, wary of expressing their genuine views.
Andrei Kolesnikov of the Carnegie Moscow Center wrote in a commentary that Russian society right now is gripped by an “aggressive submission” and that the degradation of social ties could accelerate.
“The discussion gets broader and broader. You can call your compatriot — a fellow citizen, but one who happens to have a different opinion — a “traitor” and consider them an inferior kind of person. You can, like the most senior state officials, speculate freely and quite calmly on the prospects of nuclear war. (That's) something that was certainly never permitted in Soviet times during Pax Atomica, when the two sides understood that the ensuing damage was completely unthinkable,” he wrote.
“Now that understanding is waning, and that is yet another sign of the anthropological disaster Russia is facing,” he said.
The economic consequences have yet to fully play out.
In the early days of the war, the Russian ruble lost half its value. But government efforts to shore it up have actually raised its value to higher than its level before the invasion.
But in terms of economic activity, “that’s a completely different story,” said Chris Weafer, a veteran Russia economy analyst at Macro-Advisory.
“We see deterioration in the economy now across a broad range of sectors. Companies are warning that they’re running out of inventories of spare parts. A lot of companies put their workers on part time work and others are warning to them they have to shut down entirely. So there’s a real fear that unemployment will rise during the summer months, that there will be a big drop in consumption and retail sales and investment,” he told The Associated Press.
The comparatively strong ruble, however heartening it may seem, also poses problems for the national budget, Weafer said.
“They receive their revenue effectively in its foreign currency from the exporters and their payments are in rubles. So the stronger the ruble, then it means the less money that they actually have to spend," he said. “(That) also makes Russian exporters less competitive, because they’re more expensive on the world stage.”
If the war drags on, more companies could exit Russia. Weafer suggested that those companies who have only suspended operations might resume them if a cease-fire and peace deal for Ukraine are reached, but he said the window for this could be closing.
“If you walk around shopping malls in Moscow, you can see that many of the fashion stores, Western business groups, have simply pulled down the shutters. Their shelves are still full, the lights are still on. They’re simply just not open. So they haven’t pulled out yet. They’re waiting to see what happens next," he explained.
Those companies will soon be pressed to resolve the limbo that their Russian businesses are in, Weafer said.
"We are now getting to the stage where companies are starting to run out of time, or maybe run out of patience,” he said.

Significant opportunity to achieve city decarbonization goals with improved consistency of standards, policies and reporting of building emissions
DAVOS, Switzerland, May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- City governments are setting ambitious sustainability targets, often well ahead of national goals; yet plans to tackle the carbon emissions from buildings are frequently given insufficient attention. To deliver a holistic and effective decarbonization plan for buildings, partnerships with landlords, investors, developers and occupiers are paramount.
In a study of 32 global urban centers, Decarbonizing Cities and Real Estate, JLL's research revealed that real estate's contribution to emissions averages 60%, even higher in the world's largest business centers – as much as 78% in London, 73% in Tokyo, 71% in Washington, DC, 70% in Paris and 66% in New York. Yet the study finds there is a significant gap between the policies enacted in municipalities, the impact of the real estate industry and the climate science that indicates the need to reach peak emissions to limit global warming. The research identified that the most successful cities to advance decarbonization will be those that balance regulation, incentives, innovation and accelerators.
"Partnerships between the private-sector and local governments are critical to driving tangible progress in decarbonizing the economy, particularly in the Global North where so much retrofit is required of existing building stock," said Guy Grainger, Global Head of Sustainability Services and ESG for JLL. "If this doesn't happen expect local governments to introduce heavy regulation and penalties on building standards – there will be winners and losers as cities race to zero."
Several cities were called out for their innovative approaches to reducing emissions from buildings, including New York City with a raft of local laws that are among the most stringent globally; Singapore and Vancouver, which have set out holistic approaches to greening their buildings; Paris and Amsterdam, which are taking a lead in considering embodied carbon; London and Los Angeles which are setting the pace on biodiversity; and Tokyo's cap-and-trade program which incentivizes building owners to reduce emissions.
However, the research warns that, in aggregate, at the global scale, policy is lagging the science today and this puts a greater onus on the private sector to take the lead in climate action. Waiting for regulation to take action is not advised, and those who act now will have more resilient assets and even a competitive edge.
One of the biggest gaps in realizing net-zero targets is in greening energy grids – a challenge corporates have no direct control over and one that often requires larger collaboration at the multi-city or national level. To meet this challenge of both breadth and urgency, cities will need to collaborate with neighboring local, state and national governments to develop large-scale renewable energy and storage infrastructure.
The research also identified the pivotal role that knowledge sharing and accelerator programs play in facilitating the retrofitting of existing buildings, particularly for small owners and occupants. In developed cities, 80% of the building stock that will be standing in 2050 has already been built. To meet 2050 targets, retrofitting rates will need to exceed 3% per year – they currently stand at 1-2% – making knowledge sharing of sustainable practices between governments and large and small entities critical to keep pace.
This research highlighted a wide array of regulations and reporting structures being rolled out by governments, and different metrics and definitions being adopted. Cross-border collaboration will be needed, especially to help mitigate the worst impacts of climate change for the planet, and in particular for the most vulnerable cities in the Global South.

One of eastern Europe’s most acclaimed film-makers, Romania’s Cristian Mungiu, is back at the Cannes Film Festival with a dark tale about how little it takes for people to turn on their neighbours. His wrenching Ceausescu-era drama about illegal abortion “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” clinched the top prize at the world’s top cinema showcase in 2007. Mungiu also won best screenplay for 2012’s “Beyond the Hills” and best director for “Graduation” in 2016. His new film, “RMN”, again sees him in the race for the Palme d’Or and the 54-year-old told AFP it explores the collapse of hopes for a new era of peace following the end of the Cold War. “I try to speak about human nature and about the state of the world today and about this feeling that we have today that things are not going in the right direction,” he said. “Things are coming to some sort of an end and everybody feels this anxiety,” not least over the war raging in Ukraine, he said. ‘CAPABLE OF ANYTHING’ — RMN is the Romanian abbreviation for an MRI which Mungiu said when scanning the brain can reveal fascinating secrets of how human beings are wired. The film explores the anxieties of a multi-ethnic community in Transylvania, a historical crossroads of migration and competing empires which has left Romanian, Hungarian and German speakers living side-by-side to this day. It is inspired by a story widely covered by Romanian media in 2020, when a village in Transylvania rose up against the local bakery for hiring two Sri Lankans. In the film the foreign men are recruited to a bread factory reliant on EU grants and offering minimum-wage jobs that long went unfilled because the salary was too low for locals. A manager tries to look after the dislocated Sri Lankans, who don’t speak any of the local languages and are struggling to integrate. A violent attack leads to confrontations with the police, the village priest and finally a town meeting in which hysterical fears about the outsiders are aired. Mungiu said he aimed to hold up a mirror to the “instincts and cruelty which is deep inside us as human animals and to see that people who are neighbours today are capable of anything tomorrow – raping, killing and torturing somebody else simply because somebody told me this is the enemy”. ‘A MOVEMENT’ — the film won warm reviews, with The Guardian saying it was “seriously engaged with the dysfunction and unhappiness in Europe that goes unreported and unacknowledged”. US movie website IndieWire called it another “moral thriller” from Mungiu that pulls “harder and harder at the tension between complex socioeconomic forces and the simple human emotions they inspire”. Mungiu is part of Romania’s New Wave of film-makers tracking the realities of the post-communist transition who have scooped up prizes at international festivals for the past two decades. He admitted at Cannes that those acclaimed movies have been far less popular at home. “(Romanians) don’t really like what we do – they don’t really understand why somebody likes it somewhere else,” he said. “But for us it’s really important that we managed to create some sort of a movement which is now complex enough – there are quite diverse film-makers expressing themselves. “At some point I think it will be acknowledged as something good that we did also for the culture of Romania.” The Palme d’Or will be awarded on May 28. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/939594/cannes-favourite-returns-to-show-horror-of-human-animals/ | 2022-05-23T07:49:49Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/939594/cannes-favourite-returns-to-show-horror-of-human-animals/ | false | 11 |
Swiss cheese plant: The ‘daily’ job you should do to keep your Monstera houseplant alive
SWISS CHEESE PLANTS are known for their large, glossy, green leaves which resemble Swiss cheese. According to experts, the houseplant is the nation's most popular, but how do you care for it?
Houseplants: RHS advises on watering techniques
Swiss cheese plants, real name Monstera Deliciosa, are popular in the UK because they are generally unfussy and attract few pests. The plant is grown in the tropics of North and South America, where it can reach 70ft tall. According to National Greenhouse, the Swiss cheese plant is the most popular houseplant in the country.
They said: “With an average monthly search volume of 98,000, it’s easy to see why from the pages of images showing big deliciously green leaves broken up by unique slits - hence its colloquial name.”
Being a tropical plant, it requires certain conditions for it to thrive.
This includes keeping it in bright conditions, but not direct sunlight.
If kept in direct sunlight, the houseplant may scorch.

The experts added: “You want to replicate a tropical environment as much as possible, where higher trees would cover these more ground-level plants in warm climates.”
When it comes to watering, it is important not to over or under water the houseplants.
They love moisture in their soil and so when the top of the soil is dry, they are ready for water.
According to the experts, moisture meters are great to help with monitoring this.

They added: “Tropical plants also love humid environments, naturally.
“This means you can give it a daily mist treatment.”
This involves putting water into a fine mist bottle and spraying houseplants regularly.
Misting is a very simple and effective way to boost humidity.
It is also an easy solution to avoid the risk of overwatering.
Tepid water is recommended when misting houseplants as it can help to replicate their natural environments.
In a bid to keep houseplants healthy, Hammonds Furniture also recently analysed Google search data to find out which houseplants Britons need care with.
They also shared common symptoms the Swiss cheese plant may show when it is given too much water.
The experts explained: “While you might initially think that yellowing leaves or soft dark brown spots are a sign of under watering, they actually indicate that you are overwatering.
“It needs to be dried out.
“If your leaves are brown and crispy on the edges, your plant is dehydrated.”
Hammonds spoke to Samantha Jones, gardening and plant expert at MyJobQuote.co.uk, who said: “Bringing plants into your home can be beneficial to freshen up the atmosphere. Aside from being visually appealing and improving the aesthetics of your home, plants have a calming effect on us.
“Overall, the care of your plant is essential, so it is vital to make sure you give it the correct care. Each plant will have its different needs, but there are some essential tips to follow if you’re just starting on your houseplant journey.
“Keep your potting soil moist, the soil must neither be too wet or too dry.
“Make sure that the plant pot has drainage holes in the bottom so your plant is never sat in water.
“Place your plant near a light source, whether natural or artificial.
“Finally, if you are new to gardening, you should try to stick to low maintenance plants such as aloe or Monstera.” | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/garden/1614384/swiss-cheese-plant-houseplant-daily-job-misting-humidity-care-tips | 2022-05-23T07:53:42Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/garden/1614384/swiss-cheese-plant-houseplant-daily-job-misting-humidity-care-tips | false | 1 |
Washington Sundar can be 'leading allrounder ' if he works on his fitness, claims Ravi Shastri
Today at 12:24 PM
Ravi Shastri has heaped praise on Washington Sundar, saying the 22-year-old can be the leading all-rounder in Indian cricket over the next three years if he works on his fitness. Shastri has further opined Sundar can be an easy fit in Tests, but he needs to work on his batting to get better in T20s.
Even at 22, Washington Sundar has been widely considered as one of the next big things in Indian cricket. Sundar has been bowling brilliantly with accuracy and can hit lusty blows as well with the bat. However, the only area of concern is his fitness, which has forced him to be on the sideline for some time already in his young career.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, while speaking to ESPNCricinfo, rated Sundar highly on Sunday. Shastri said Sundar can be 'the future' of India if only he can work on his fitness. Moreover, Shastri mentioned that Sundar can be India's leading all-rounder as well if he can remain fit and fine for the rest of his career.
"He (Sundar) is going to be one of India's leading all-rounders. He is the future. You have [Ravindra] Jadeja today. Three years down the line, if Jadeja is still fit, he will play. There is Axar [Patel] around. But this guy is your premier all-rounder across all three formats of the game. Hear what I am saying. Three formats of the game," Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo's analysis show T20 Time: Out.
"This guy is a serious cricketer. He is still very young, he has got to understand his own game, and how good a player he is. Shot selection will come, especially for the white-ball format. [If he] works on his fitness so that he is not injury-prone, India have got a serious cricketer in him. Across all formats of the game. I think it is up to him really to do the hard yards on fitness. No excuse. He can't depend on X, Y, Z. He has to look at himself in the mirror and say I want to work hard and I want to be the leading allrounder in Indian cricket over the next three years. And he can do it. Easy."
Further, Shastri said that Sundar can be an easy fit for Test cricket, but he needs to focus on his batting to keep his place in T20Is.
"In Test cricket, he can occupy that No. 6 position in the future, 6 or 7. He bats, where he goes as the batting allrounder. Overseas he can bowl you those overs in a specialist spinner's place and gives that balance. In India, he can bat at no. 6. You are allowed to play two extra spinners. That's how important a player he is," he added.
"In T20 cricket he can bowl. No problem with his bowling. It is just understanding which player, and which lengths. Batting. It is his shot selection, the ability is there. This guy has the ability. He has to be properly groomed, and educated on how good he is. Especially when it comes to shot selection,. He is a serious cricketer, that kid." | https://www.sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2022/may/23/if-washington-sundar-works-on-his-fitness-he-can-be-leading-allrounder-in-indian-cricket-claims-ravi-shastri?utm_medium=rss | 2022-05-23T07:55:14Z | https://www.sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2022/may/23/if-washington-sundar-works-on-his-fitness-he-can-be-leading-allrounder-in-indian-cricket-claims-ravi-shastri?utm_medium=rss | true | 1 |

Bill Maher Sounds the Alarm on Exploding LGBT Numbers: 'We're Literally Experimenting on Children'
Liberal talk show host Bill Maher questioned the left’s sacred pieties on LGBT ideology in a Friday-night segment.
Maher questioned the rapid and explosive growth of LGBT identity in polls by generation.
Maher pointed out that more than 20 percent of Generation Z Americans identify as LGBT, a gradual increase from the 2.6 percent of Baby Boomers who identified as such.
“If we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054,” said Maher, in a sarcastic jab at the exploding share of Americans who identify as LGBT.
“I’m just saying, when things change this much this fast, people are allowed to ask, ‘what’s up with that?’ All the babies are in the wrong bodies?”
Maher pointed out that LGBT ideology is growing predominantly in Democrat-governed states with left-wing public school systems.
“If this spike in trans children is all natural, why is it regional?”
“Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.”
The gender transition of minors can result in lifelong health problems, such as sterility, bone disease and the loss of sexual function.
“We’re literally experimenting on children,” said Maher, directly questioning the use of gender “transitions” on minors. Maher pointed out that Finland and Sweden have restricted the use of hormone treatment on minors.
“This is not a serious, science-based discussion, it’s a blow being stuck in the culture wars using children as cannon fodder.”
Critics of the transgender movement often face fierce opposition from its ideologues.
Maher pointed out that trans activist Chase Strangio recently said that stopping the circulation of a book questioning gender transition was a hill he would “die on.”
The liberal talk show host built up a reputation as a reliable Democrat partisan throughout his career, only to wear out his welcome with social justice warriors through criticism of the leftist cultural religion.
Bill Maher a half decade late is better than nothing I suppose. https://t.co/fR59plyLp8
— Jack Murphy⚡️ (@jackmurphylive) May 21, 2022
Maybe the left’s cultural dominance is little more than a paper tiger, when even Bill Maher rips a hole in liberal dogma on his HBO show.
“Never forget,” he said, “children are impressionable and very, very stupid.”

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee in the state’s high-profile U.S. Senate contest, has been released from the hospital after a stay of more than a week following a stroke, his wife and his campaign said Sunday.
Fetterman, 52, won the Democratic nomination while in the hospital, easily beating U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, just hours after undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator to help him recover. Fetterman has said the stroke was caused by a heart condition called atrial fibrillation.
“João is headed home — time to rest and recover (and annoy me)!” tweeted his wife, Gisele Fetterman, who was born in Brazil and often refers to her husband with the Portuguese translation of John. “I’m so grateful for the amazing staff at Lancaster General for taking such good care of him from start to finish.”
Fetterman said in a statement he was returning home to Braddock and “could not be happier to finally be heading home to be with my family.”
“I am feeling great, but per my doctor’s orders, and Gisele’s orders, I am going to continue to rest and recover,” he said. “Later this week I will have a follow-up visit with my doctors at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. I am going to take the time I need now to rest and get to 100% so I can go full speed soon and flip this seat blue.”
Fetterman had been hospitalized since May 13. He was scheduled to appear that day at a campaign event at Millersville University, but his wife “noticed that John was not himself, and shortly after he started slurring his speech,” a campaign spokesperson said.
Fetterman said in a written statement he had a stroke “that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long,” but that doctors were able to remove the clot “reversing the stroke,” and got his heart under control. Doctors told him that he “didn’t suffer any cognitive damage,” he said.
As for the Republican race, it remains too close to call and is likely headed for a statewide recount to decide the winner of the contest between heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick. The incumbent, Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, is retiring after serving two terms.
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Oz, and takes heightened interest in Pennsylvania because it’s one of the most important presidential battlegrounds, and voters are split fairly evenly between Democrats and Republicans. | https://cw39.com/politics/ap-politics/pennsylvanias-fetterman-released-from-hospital-after-stroke/ | 2022-05-23T08:19:41Z | https://cw39.com/politics/ap-politics/pennsylvanias-fetterman-released-from-hospital-after-stroke/ | true | 22 |

Peter Dutton likely to lead the opposition, but will he go the way of Brendan Nelson?
Federal election 2022
Full election resultsPeter Dutton is in the box seat to become the next leader of the federal opposition, but is he the right man to take the leadership of the Liberal Party?
Saturday’s election saw a progressive wave sweep away at least 17 of the government’s lower house MPs, with Labor, the Greens and teal independents all gaining seats.
Dutton’s public persona is set in cement: he’s the conservative warrior and arch-China hawk from Queensland who led Health, then Home Affairs and finally Defence over the last nine years; he dislikes “woke” morning teas, boycotted the apology to the stolen generation and relishes the scrap with Labor.
After the electorate’s comprehensive rejection of Scott Morrison’s government, it would seem the last thing the Liberal Party would want to do is move further to the right under Dutton.
But in reality it has little choice.
First of all, Dutton will be the first man not from NSW to lead the Liberal Party since Alexander Downer in 1995.
Since Downer, there have been five blokes from Sydney to lead the Liberals, and while going to a bloke from Queensland isn’t exactly going to win the opposition a diversity award, the state remains relatively conservative – aside from “Greensland” in inner-city Brisbane – and he will shore up that state.
Second, with the exit of Josh Frydenberg, there is no one in the Liberal party room who has anything like the public profile and experience of Dutton, not to mention the numbers in what is now a more conservative party room following the loss of Liberal moderates.
And third, Dutton is well liked by colleagues, seen as a pragmatic social conservative rather than a religious ideologue. Dutton was one of the fixers and architects of the same-sex marriage postal survey, and in his pitch to colleagues he has been promising a sensible approach to policy and that he won’t make a Trumpian lurch to the right.
That matters because the Coalition has lost nine formerly blue-ribbon Liberal heartland seats – six to the teals (adding to the three in parliament), one to the Greens and two to Labor (in Boothby and Higgins).
If Anthony Albanese fails to scrape together a majority of 76 seats, the teals will potentially be able to influence key decisions on climate policy and integrity, for example.
But if Labor does secure 76 seats, the teals will have less influence on policy but will be able to ensure their political brand remains unsullied by the horse-trading of parliamentary politics.
Either way, there is a very real prospect they could win a second term and if Rebekha Sharkie, Zali Steggall and Helen Haines are any guide, independents can be very difficult to remove after a term or two.
If those teals seats are lost to the Liberals then the task of winning back government will be even harder.
Liberal MPs who have spoken to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in the days following the election have said there is no appetite for another fight over climate change policy or on social issues like transgender rights.
But Dutton has a mountain to climb to overcome voters’ perceptions of both himself and the Coalition.
The risk for the Liberals is that no matter how hard Dutton fights, voter perceptions could be set. Like Brendan Nelson, who took power after John Howard lost in 2007 and was dumped as leader less than a year later, Dutton could end up as little more than a placeholder opposition leader, destined for the scrap heap. | https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/peter-dutton-likely-to-lead-the-opposition-but-will-he-go-the-way-of-brendan-nelson-20220523-p5anre.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-05-23T08:23:32Z | https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/peter-dutton-likely-to-lead-the-opposition-but-will-he-go-the-way-of-brendan-nelson-20220523-p5anre.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | false | 6 |
China's foreign ministry hits back at Biden comments on U.S. aiding Taiwan militarily
Article content
BEIJING — China’s foreign ministry said on Monday that the U.S. should not defend Taiwan independence, after U.S. President Joe Biden said Washington would defend Taiwan militarily if Beijing invaded the self-governed island.
China has no room for compromise or concessions on matters relating to its sovereignty and territorial integrity, foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a regular news briefing.

Which Lord of the Rings Lego set is best?
When it comes to the most epic movies of all time, “The Lord of the Rings” franchise is right up there next to “Star Wars,” “James Bond” and Marvel. The story of Frodo Baggins and his treacherous journey through Middle Earth has been brought from the book pages onto the big screen. Given the popularity of “The Lord of the Rings,” it’s no surprise they would partner up with Lego to bring scenes from the movie into your living room.
The best “Lord of the Rings” Lego set is The Mines of Moria, which finds Legolas and Gimbli battling the cave troll in the dangerous underground mines.
What to know before you buy a Lord of the Rings Lego set
Frodo Baggins
Frodo is the main character in “The Lord of the Rings” story. He’s played by Elijah Wood in the films and is considered a Hobbit. His large feet and scruffy hair are now an iconic and well-known look throughout pop culture. Frodo’s story involves keeping the One Ring out of the clutches of evil as he himself deals with its power. Frodo is kind, lovable and always aims to do the right thing. This is what’s made him the most popular character in the entire franchise.
Other characters
There are far too many characters throughout “The Lord of the Rings” stories to list them all, but there are a few worth noting. Legolas is a Sindar Elf and is known for his long white hair and ability to shoot a bow at long distances. In the story, he’s best friends with Gimli the bearded Dwarf warrior. Speaking of best friends, Frodo is joined on his journey by Samwise Gamgee, a fellow Hobbit who helps protect the Ring. There’s also Gandolf, Gollum and Arwen.
The Hobbit
“The Hobbit” is a spin-off series from “The Lord of the Rings.” It stars Bilbo Baggins as he goes on an adventure through Middle Earth in search of a vast treasure. Unfortunately, he finds it more difficult than he expected, as the treasure is guarded by a dangerous dragon named Smaug. “The Hobbit” takes place adjacent to “The Lord of the Rings” stories and stars Frodo’s cousin Bilbo Baggins, features other Hobbits and even more new characters.
What to look for in a quality Lord of the Rings Lego set
Full scenes
The biggest appeal of Lego sets that are based on existing film franchises is that they offer the chance to build familiar scenes from scratch. Lego has the rights to “The Lord of the Rings,” so they’re able to take moments from the film and transform them into buildable Lego sets. This can include everything from inconsequential places like Frodo’s home kitchen or important scenes like the Mines of Moria.
Character sets
If you want the most comprehensive Lego set possible, look for ones that include several characters. “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” feature many important characters, and without them the Lego sets would feel unfinished. In the Mines of Moria set, seven characters in total are featured, including main characters like Legolas, Boromir and Gimli. Similarly, in the Lake-Town Chase set, Bilbo Baggins is met by Thorin Oakenshield, Bard the Bowman and the Master of Lake-Town, amongst others.
Collapsible pieces
There are two types of Lego fans: those who play with their sets and those who collect them. If you’re one of those people who like to act out full scenes, having collapsible pieces can greatly improve your set’s quality. For example, in the Mines of Moria Lego set, certain pieces of the walls are collapsible, which gives added effect to the overall scene. This means the pieces, while they’re set up and standing, can be easily knocked over without having to be disassembled like normal Legos.
How much you can expect to spend on a Lord of the Rings Lego set
Lord of the Rings Lego sets cost from $26-$331.
Lord of the Rings Lego set FAQ
Are Lord of the Rings Lego sets discontinued?
A. Yes, “The Lord of the Rings” Lego sets were discontinued in 2015. Many sets can still be found online, although some prices have increased due to their low availability.
Are there The Hobbit Lego sets?
A. Along with “The Lord of the Rings” Lego sets, there are also “The Hobbit” Lego sets. Be aware that these sets are also discontinued. You can still find certain sets sold online that feature Bilbo Baggins.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Justin Thomas didn’t pay attention to any score but his own Sunday in the PGA Championship, knowing he was seven shots behind but with only six players ahead of him on a Southern Hills course where anything could happen.
He never could have dreamed how it all played out, a chaotic final hour of pressure moments, clutch putts and unimaginable heartache for Mito Pereira.
Thomas hit a shank on the sixth hole. He made a 65-foot birdie putt that began his record-tying comeback. He missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole that he feared would cost him. He never led until one hole remained in his three-hole aggregate playoff with Will Zalatoris.
And when Thomas tapped in for par to capture another PGA Championship title, he stood erect on the 18th green with a mixture of joy and disbelief.
“I was asked early in the week what lead is safe and I said, ‘No lead,’” Thomas said. “I can’t believe I found myself in a playoff.”
Thomas closed with a 3-under 67 that turned out to be enough for a playoff when Pereira, the 27-year-old from Chile in his first PGA Championship who never trailed all day, drove into a creek and made double bogey on the 18th hole to finish one shot behind.
It was the first time since Phil Mickelson at Winged Foot in the 2006 U.S. Open that a player gave away a one-shot lead on the final hole to lose a major.
“Sad to hit it in the water,” Pereira said. “I mean, I wish I could do it again.”
Just like his first PGA title at Quail Hollow in 2017, the signature shot for Thomas came on the 17th hole. It was the second hole of the aggregate playoff. He drilled a 3-wood on the 301-yard par 4 to 35 feet for a two-putt birdie, his first lead of the day.
Zalatoris, whose must-make 8-footers for birdie and par on the final two holes of regulation got him into the playoff with a 71, couldn’t deliver in overtime. His 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th in the playoff missed, and he couldn’t catch Thomas at the end.
Zalatoris looked like he had thrown away his chances for a first major — and first PGA Tour victory — when he three-putted from just outside 20 feet on the 16th hole. But he responded with a birdie from the bunker at the 17th and holed an 8-foot par putt on the 18th for a 71.
He joined Thomas at 5-under 275, and they played on when Pereira faltered.
Thomas, who had gone 14 months since his last victory at The Players Championship last year, now has a PGA Tour win in each of his last eight years and moves to No. 5 in the world.
His second major came when he least expected it.
None of the six players ahead of him had ever won a major. Thomas knew that. He was in the longest drought since his first PGA Tour title. He was aware of that, too.
“I remember how tough it is now to win, so I knew I was going to be nervous and I knew they’d be feeling the exact same thing,” Thomas said. “You just don’t know what’s going to happen.”
John Mahaffey in the 1978 PGA Championship at Oakmont was the other player to come from seven shots behind on the final day. He also won in a playoff over Tom Watson and Jerry Pate.
Thomas was still seven shots behind when he made his remarkable run, a mixture of key birdies and keeping mistakes off his card. It started with an improbable birdie putt from just short of the green to a back pin on the par-3 11th. He edged closer with an 18-foot birdie on the next hole.
He was lurking, while the leading pack behind him was leaking oil.
Zalatoris and Cameron Young each caught Pereira, ever so briefly. All of them found trouble in the rough and the sand and the greens.
Pereira was on the cusp of becoming Chile’s first major champion, and giving South America the career Grand Slam.
Even after five bogeys, he never lost the lead and delivered clutch par saves from the bunker left of the ninth green and from well behind the 10th green. None was bigger than his 12-foot putt on the 16th to stay one shot ahead.
It all came undone with one swing.
His sawed-off swing with the driver, so effective on the previous hole, peeled to the right and into the creek down the right side of the 18th fairway. After a penalty drop, his approach up the hill started left and never cut back, landing in the rough. His chip rolled off the back edge of the green.
His double bogey gave him a 75, a hard-luck end to such a promising week.
“On Monday, I just wanted to make the cut. On Sunday, I wanted to win,” Pereira said. “I’ll take this to learn for the future.”
Young, whose father is a longtime PGA professional, also will look back at missed chances. Playing with Zalatoris, a former roommate at Wake Forest, Young was in the mix all day and was briefly tied for the lead. His hopes ended on the 16th when he found a bunker right of the green, blasted out weakly to 30 feet and three-putted for a double bogey. He closed with a 71.
Rory McIlroy made a brief run with four straight birdies on the front nine, putting him at 4-under par for the tournament. He was 2 over the rest of the way and finished eighth.
In eight majors at Southern Hills, it was first time a player rallied from any margin to win, and it was only the second playoff. Retief Goosen won the other in the 2001 U.S. Open after he three-putted from 12 feet on the final hole. At least he got another chance, unlike Pereira.
Six of the seven previous major champions at Southern Hills are in the World Golf Hall of Fame. The 29-year-old Thomas, now with two majors among his 15 career PGA Tour victories, is surely headed there one day.

Monkeypox Quarantine Now in Effect, Outbreak Linked to Public Event
Belgium introduced a compulsory 21-day monkeypox quarantine after three cases of the disease were discovered in the small European nation last week.
Fourteen nations now have recorded cases of the smallpox-like disease, according to the Daily Mail.
The Belgian cases were linked to a festival for gay men that took place in Antwerp.
“There’s reason to assume that the virus has been brought in by visitors from abroad to the festival after recent cases in other countries,” organizers of The Darklands Festival posted on its website, according to Newsweek.
On Saturday, the microbiologist Emmanuel André said a fourth person in Belgium had been found with monkeypox, according to Politico.
WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr. Hans Kluge said Friday that the virus may keep spreading during summer festivals and parties, Newsweek reported.
As of Saturday, there were 92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases of monkeypox in 12 nations where the disease is not normally found, the Daily Mail reported.
Monkeypox results in lesions on the skin, as well as a fever, sore muscles and a headache.
Professor David Heymann of The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said the disease is spreading in a new way.
“What seems to be happening now is that it has got into the population as a sexual form, as a genital form, and is being spread as are sexually transmitted infections, which has amplified its transmission around the world,” he said.
Dr. Claire Dewsnap, the president of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV, told The Express that cases are only going to grow.
“There is going to be more diagnoses over the next week,” she said. “How many is hard to say. What worries me the most is there are infections across Europe, so this has already spread.”
“It’s already circulating in the general population. Getting on top of all those people’s contacts is a massive job,” she explained.
The disease has already reached the United States.
One monkeypox infection has been confirmed in Massachusetts, and at least one of two New York City cases is suspected of being monkeypox, according to CNN.
One expert said the spread is a surprise, according to the Associated Press.
“I’m stunned by this. Every day I wake up, and there are more countries infected,” said Oyewale Tomori, a virologist and former head of the Nigerian Academy of Science.
“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.
“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.”

POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) — Houses on fire. Artillery blasting through thick apartment walls. People hiding in basements without electricity, water or gas as their towns are pulverized above them.
In shock, sometimes fighting off tears, civilians fleeing areas near the eastern front in the war in Ukraine described scenes of devastation as their towns and villages came under sustained attack from Russian forces.
More than 270 people boarded an evacuation train Sunday heading west to safer areas of Ukraine from the town of Pokrovsk, most brought there on buses from areas near the fighting.
“Ashes, ruins. The northern parts, the southern parts, all are ruined,” said 83-year-old Lida Chuhay, who fled the hard-hit town of Lyman, near the front line in the eastern Luhansk province. “Literally everything is on fire: houses, buildings, everything.”
She and others who fled Lyman said the town was coming under sustained attack and much of it had been reduced to rubble. Those still left there were hiding in shelters. Barely anyone ventures outside as it’s too dangerous to walk in the streets.
“They ruined everything,” said Olha Medvedeva, sitting opposite Chuhay on the train. “The five-story building where we were living, everything flew away — the windows, the doors.”
Everyone now lives in basements, she said, as projectiles fly overhead.
Petro Demidov, sitting opposite her on the train, said they hid in a supermarket while they waited for the bus to pick them up and take them to the train. Above them, the ceiling shook from the force of the explosions outside.
“We got away under heavy fire,” he said.
Russia has apparently made slow grinding moves forward against Ukrainian troops in the eastern industrial Donbas area in recent days. It intensified efforts to capture Sieverodonetsk, the main city under Ukrainian control in Luhansk province, which together with the neighboring Donetsk province makes up the Donbas.
“Horror. There’s nothing to speak of, especially in the center,” 76-year-old Lyubov Chudnyk said of Lyman, the town she has lived in for 42 years. “The schools are damaged, the monuments. Lyman is terrible now.”
She used to support Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now “I want to strangle him with my own hands,” Chudnyk said.
About 30 kilometers (19 miles) southeast of Lyman, the small town of Soledar was also badly hit, said Denys Uperaka, 34. He had already sent his wife and 3-year-old son away earlier in the war. Now he, too, had to leave.
He was lucky, he said, to live in a valley, so “everything was flying over us.” But it just got to be too much. On Sunday, the Russians started shelling at 4 a.m.
“It’s impossible to be there anymore,” he said, adding that Russian forces had taken over the nearby village of Volodymyrivka, just to the east of Soledar.
To the north of Soledar, the village of Yakovlivka was also coming under sustained attack, said 59-year-old Valentina Domanshenko. The village no longer has electricity, running water or gas, she said. People were surviving by cooking on open fires outdoors. She saw people die of shrapnel wounds in the street.
“The shelling is every day, the houses tremble. Many people left, but there are still some there,” said Domanshenko, breaking down in tears. “I’m very worried about them.”

Meet the man who is walking the entirety of the Welsh coastline and picking up all of the rubbish and waste he spots along the way. Geraint John has taken on the grueling challenge because of his love for Wales, and the “absolutely disgusting” state of some of its beauty spots.
The 51 year old travels light, with nothing but a tent, some food supplies and of course lots of waste bags to fill up during his trek. He embarked on his epic journey on April 13, 2022 in Mumbles, Swansea and expects to complete the course by next summer, Wales Online reports.
The section east of Swansea, between Port Talbot and the Severn Bridge, frankly has too much rubbish for one man to collect, according to Geraint, so his plan now that he has walked through Pembrokeshire and arrived in Ceredigion is to continue heading north, around Anglesey and across to Rhyl. To get the latestWalesOnline newsletters e-mailed to you directly for free, click here.
The aim of the walk is to raise awareness and money that will help clean up Welsh beaches and attempt to rectify a problem which Geraint says is only getting worse. “I’ve always been into sailing and scuba diving, and last year I cycled six and a half thousand miles around the coast of Britain for charity,” said Geraint, who managed to find some shelter from the rain to talk about his trip.
"But what really stuck in my mind was the amount of rubbish I saw washed up on the coastline, so I set up a not for profit company called Coastline Guardians CIC to try to deal with the problem. If I can do the Welsh coastline once on foot this summer, the hope is I can raise enough money to do it more often moving forward.
"Some places see so much rubbish, it’s absolutely disgusting, with most of the stuff coming in offshore. Some places are so remote that I can fill three or four bags of rubbish but there’s nowhere for me to get rid of it, while other places are not accessible on foot. But of course rubbish doesn’t care where it goes.”
On the beaches that are accessible, Geraint collects bags and bags of waste - plastic, general waste, fishing equipment - and disposes of it in car parks that have designated bins or recycling facilities, after he has looked to see if he can trace where it has come from. While he is making the journey alone, he has bumped into friends along the way and others who share his passion for cleaning up the Welsh coastline.
“The more people I meet the better; there’s no rush in this, I don’t really have an ‘end date’ in mind," he said. "I’ve been meeting with local people who are doing litter picks along the way. The people are great and the places are all beautiful.”
Some places are in danger of becoming less beautiful, however, due to the amount of rubbish which has a tendency to pile up in different places, as Geraint explains. "I spent five days in Worm’s Head in Rhossili Bay. I found a dead cow and filled about 26 bags of rubbish. At the moment it’s shocking in places, and it’s a big environmental issue. What you find is, with the smaller beaches, communities do a lot to clean up, but of course every tide brings more rubbish."
For Geraint, having set up Coastline Guardians CIC, the plan is to regularly clean up Welsh beaches with the help of funds raised from public donations. You can help fund his goal to get a cleaner and better Welsh coastline here.
"Even through the winter you can still get good days where you can go out and clean up,” he said. “The plan is to be able to go and carry out big clean-ups five or six times a year around the coastline. I’m hoping to raise £50,000 which will help pay for this, including a sail boat and a small inflatable boat which will make places where you can’t get to on foot accessible.
“I want there to be an educational side to this as well. I want this to get this into schools because it’s an issue which is only going to get worse, so I’m hoping to work with schools by getting children’s books about the problem published, and work with universities too. I can’t rely on grant funding and donations forever so I have plans on how I can continue to do this in the long-term. I love Wales, and our coastline is absolutely spectacular." | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/meet-man-hiking-entire-welsh-24033021 | 2022-05-23T08:39:45Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/meet-man-hiking-entire-welsh-24033021 | true | 3 |
Riyadh, May 23 : Saudi Arabia has banned citizens from travelling to 16 countries, including India, over the Covid-19 situation in those nations, the media reported
The Directorate emphasised that the validity of the passport of Saudis who intend to travel to non-Arab countries must be more than six months.
Further, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has assured the public that there were no monkeypox cases detected in the country so far.
Abdullah Asiri, Deputy Minister of Health, has said that the Kingdom has the capability to monitor and discover any suspected monkeypox cases and also to fight against the infection if any new case emerges, The Express Tribune reported.
“Until now, cases of transmission between humans are very limited, and therefore the possibility of any outbreaks occurring from it, even in countries that have detected cases, are very low,” he added.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization said it expects to identify more cases of monkeypox as it expands surveillance in countries where the disease is not typically found.

When Vladimir Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine, war seemed far away from Russian territory. Yet within days, the conflict came home — not with cruise missiles and mortars but in the form of unprecedented and unexpectedly extensive volleys of sanctions by Western governments and economic punishment by corporations.
Three months after the Feb. 24 invasion, many ordinary Russians are reeling from those blows to their livelihoods and emotions. Moscow’s vast shopping malls have turned into eerie expanses of shuttered storefronts once occupied by Western retailers.
McDonald’s — whose opening in Russia in 1990 was a cultural phenomenon, a shiny modern convenience coming to a dreary country ground down by limited choices — pulled out of Russia entirely in response to its invasion of Ukraine. IKEA, the epitome of affordable modern comforts, suspended operations. Tens of thousands of once-secure jobs are now suddenly in question in a very short time.
Major industrial players including oil giants BP and Shell and automaker Renault walked away, despite their huge investments in Russia. Shell has estimated it will lose about $5 billion by trying to unload its Russian assets.
While the multinationals were leaving, thousands of Russians who had the economic means to do so were also fleeing, frightened by harsh new government moves connected to the war that they saw as a plunge into full totalitarianism. Some young men may have also fled in fear that the Kremlin would impose a mandatory draft to feed its war machine.
But fleeing had become much harder than it once was — the European Union's 27 nations, along with the United States and Canada had banned flights to and from Russia. The Estonian capital of Tallinn, once an easy long-weekend destination 90 minutes by air from Moscow, suddenly took at least 12 hours to reach on a route through Istanbul.
More Russia-Ukraine War Coverage
Even vicarious travel via the internet and social media has narrowed for Russians. Russia in March banned Facebook and Instagram — although that can be circumvented by using VPNs — and shut access to foreign media websites, including the BBC, the U.S. government-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
After Russian authorities passed a law calling for up to 15 years’ imprisonment for stories that include “fake news” about the war, many significant independent news media shut down or suspended operations. Those included the Ekho Moskvy radio station and Novaya Gazeta, the newspaper whose editor Dmitry Muratov shared the most recent Nobel Peace Prize.
The psychological cost of the repressions, restrictions and shrinking opportunities could be high for ordinary Russians, albeit difficult to measure. Although some public opinion polls in Russia suggest support for the Ukraine war is strong, the results are likely skewed by respondents who stay silent, wary of expressing their genuine views.
Andrei Kolesnikov of the Carnegie Moscow Center wrote in a commentary that Russian society right now is gripped by an “aggressive submission” and that the degradation of social ties could accelerate.
“The discussion gets broader and broader. You can call your compatriot — a fellow citizen, but one who happens to have a different opinion — a “traitor” and consider them an inferior kind of person. You can, like the most senior state officials, speculate freely and quite calmly on the prospects of nuclear war. (That's) something that was certainly never permitted in Soviet times during Pax Atomica, when the two sides understood that the ensuing damage was completely unthinkable,” he wrote.
“Now that understanding is waning, and that is yet another sign of the anthropological disaster Russia is facing,” he said.
The economic consequences have yet to fully play out.
In the early days of the war, the Russian ruble lost half its value. But government efforts to shore it up have actually raised its value to higher than its level before the invasion.
But in terms of economic activity, “that’s a completely different story,” said Chris Weafer, a veteran Russian economy analyst at Macro-Advisory.
“We see deterioration in the economy now across a broad range of sectors. Companies are warning that they’re running out of inventories of spare parts. A lot of companies put their workers on part time work and others are warning to them they have to shut down entirely. So there’s a real fear that unemployment will rise during the summer months, that there will be a big drop in consumption and retail sales and investment,” he told The Associated Press.
The comparatively strong ruble, however heartening it may seem, also poses problems for the national budget, Weafer said.
“They receive their revenue effectively in its foreign currency from the exporters and their payments are in rubles. So the stronger the ruble, then it means the less money that they actually have to spend," he said. “(That) also makes Russian exporters less competitive, because they’re more expensive on the world stage.”
If the war drags on, more companies could exit Russia. Weafer suggested that those companies who have only suspended operations might resume them if a cease-fire and peace deal for Ukraine are reached, but he said the window for this could be closing.
“If you walk around shopping malls in Moscow, you can see that many of the fashion stores, Western business groups, have simply pulled down the shutters. Their shelves are still full, the lights are still on. They’re simply just not open. So they haven’t pulled out yet. They’re waiting to see what happens next," he explained.
Those companies will soon be pressed to resolve the limbo that their Russian businesses are in, Weafer said.
"We are now getting to the stage where companies are starting to run out of time, or maybe run out of patience,” he said. | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/after-3-months-of-war-life-in-russia-has-profoundly-changed/2953104/ | 2022-05-23T08:45:00Z | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/after-3-months-of-war-life-in-russia-has-profoundly-changed/2953104/ | true | 64 |
Biden launches Indo-Pacific trade deal, warns over inflation
TOKYO (AP) - President Joe Biden on Monday launched a new trade deal with 12 Indo-Pacific nations aimed at strengthening their economies as he warned Americans worried about high inflation that it was “going to be a haul” before they feel relief. The president said he does not believe an economic recession is inevitable in the U.S.
Biden, speaking at a news conference after holding talks with Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, acknowledged the U.S. economy has “problems” but said they were “less consequential than the rest of the world has.”
He added: “This is going to be a haul. This is going to take some time,” even as he rejected the idea a recession in the U.S. was inevitable.
The comments came just before Biden’s launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, a new trade deal his administration designed to signal U.S. dedication to the contested economic sphere and to address the need for stability in commerce after disruptions caused by the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Nations joining the U.S. in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework are Australia, Brunei, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Along with the United States, they represent 40% of world GDP.
The countries said in a joint statement that the pact will help them collectively “prepare our economies for the future” following disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Meeting with Kishida, Biden said the new framework would also increase U.S. cooperation with other nations in the region.
The White House said the framework will help the United States and Asian economies work more closely on issues including supply chains, digital trade, clean energy, worker protections and anticorruption efforts. The details still need to be negotiated among the member countries, making it difficult for the administration to say how this agreement would fulfill the promise of helping U.S. workers and businesses while also meeting global needs.
Critics say the framework has gaping shortcomings. It doesn’t offer incentives to prospective partners by lowering tariffs or provide signatories with greater access to U.S. markets. Those limitations may not make the U.S. framework an attractive alternative to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which still moved forward after the U.S. bailed out. China, the largest trading partner for many in the region, is also seeking to join TPP.
“I think a lot of partners are going to look at that list and say: ‘That’s a good list of issues. I’m happy to be involved,’” said Matthew Goodman, a former director for international economics on the National Security Council during President Barack Obama’s administration. But he said they also may ask, “Are we going to get any tangible benefits out of participating in this framework?”
Kishida hosted a formal state welcome for Biden at Akasaka Palace, including a white-clad military honor guard and band in the front plaza. Reviewing the assembled troops, Biden placed his hand over his heart as he passed the American flag and bowed slightly as he passed the Japanese standard.
Kishida said at their meeting that he was “absolutely delighted” to welcome Biden to Tokyo on the first Asia trip of his presidency. Along with Biden, he drove a tough line against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, saying it “undermines the foundation of global order.”
Biden, who is in the midst of a five-day visit to South Korea and Japan, called the U.S.-Japanese alliance a “cornerstone of peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific” and thanked Japan for its “strong leadership” in standing up to Russia.
The White House announced plans to build the economic framework in October as a replacement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which the U.S. dropped out of in 2017 under then-President Donald Trump.
Kishida, while welcoming the new Biden trade pact, said he hoped Biden would reconsider the United States’ position on TPP.
“Our position remains unchanged,” Kishida said. “We think it’s desirable for the United States to return to the TPP.”
The new pact comes at a moment when the administration believes it has the edge in its competition with Beijing. Bloomberg Economics published a report last week projecting U.S. GDP growth at about 2.8% in 2022 compared to 2% for China, which has been trying to contain the coronavirus through strict lockdowns while also dealing with a property bust. The slowdown has undermined assumptions that China would automatically supplant the U.S. as the world’s leading economy.
“The fact that the United States will grow faster than China this year, for the first time since 1976, is a quite striking example of how countries in this region should be looking at the question of trends and trajectories,” said White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
The two leaders were also set to meet with families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea decades ago. The Japanese premier took office last fall and is looking to strengthen ties with the U.S. and build a personal relationship with Biden. He’ll host the president at a restaurant for dinner.
The launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, also known as IPEF, has been billed by the White House as one of the bigger moments of Biden’s Asia trip and of his ongoing effort to bolster ties with Pacific allies. Through it all, administration officials have kept a close eye on China’s growing economic and military might in the region.
In September the U.S. announced a new partnership with Australia and Britain called AUKUS that is aimed and deepening security, diplomatic and defense cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Through that AUKUS partnership, Australia will purchase nuclear-powered submarines, and the U.S. is to increase rotational force deployments to Australia.
The U.S. president has also devoted great attention to the informal alliance known as the Quad, formed during the response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed some 230,000 people. Biden and fellow leaders from the alliance, which also includes Australia, India and Japan, are set to gather in Tokyo for their second in-person meeting in less than a year. The leaders have also held two video calls since Biden took office.
And earlier this month, Biden gathered representatives from nine of the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Washington for a summit, the first ever by the organization in the U.S. capital. Biden announced at the summit the U.S. would invest some $150 million in clean energy and infrastructure initiatives in ASEAN nations.
Taiwan — which had sought membership in the IPEF framework— isn’t among the governments that will be included. Participation of the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own, would have irked Beijing.
Sullivan said the U.S. wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan, including on high technology issues and semiconductor supply on a one-to-one basis.
Biden also issued a stern warning to China over Taiwan, saying the U.S. would respond militarily if China were to invade the self-ruled island. “That’s the commitment we made,” Biden said.
The U.S. recognizes Beijing as the one government of China and doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However, it maintains unofficial contacts with Taiwan, including a de facto embassy in Taipei, the capital, and supplies military equipment to the island for its defense.
Biden’s comments were likely to draw a sharp response from China, which has claimed Taiwan to be a rogue province.
A White House official said Biden’s comments did not reflect a policy shift.

Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya is in full swing promoting his film ‘Dehati Disco’.
He said he has a lot of hopes from the movie doing well and also appealed to the audience not only in the Hindi speaking belt but also in the South.
Ganesh talked about his experience of working in the film and also opened up on his weightloss journey. He said it was not easy, but he worked out and put all efforts into making it possible.
Ganesh said in a media interview that after losing weight he is getting good work. “After losing 98 kilograms I actually felt energetic and all charged up. This was the best phase to take up a high volume of work and also pursue a little bit of acting.”
Ganesh made his film debut with ‘ABCD: Any Body Can Dance’ and also got a lot of appreciation for the choreography of the song, ‘Malhaari’ from ‘Bajirao Mastani’.
Despite playing the lead in his latest film, ‘Dehati Disco’, he finds dance more close to his heart.
“Surely being fitter has changed a lot of things for me, but my passion for dance was there even when I was on a heavier side,” the choreographer said in an interview.
‘Dehati Disco’ starring Ganesh Acharya and ‘Super Dancer 3’ finalist Saksham Sharma is directed by Manoj Sharma, produced by Gitesh Chandrakar, Vaseem Qureshi and Kamal Kishor under banner Qureshi Productions Pvt Ltd and One Entertainment Film Productions.

The 49ers cap situation is not in a great spot with OTAs set to open Monday. In fact, they have the least available space in the NFL according to Over the Cap.
San Francisco is working with just $673,752 in cap space, but their situation looks even worse in effective cap space. They’re over by $708,468 in effective cap space, which is “the cap space a team will have after signing at least 51 players and its projected rookie class to its roster,” per OTC.
There’s some good news though: the 49ers have the means to rapidly clear several million in cap space. While there are a host of maneuvers they can make, unloading Jimmy Garoppolo’s contract is their most efficient way of generating room they don’t have with OTAs looming.
Whether they trade or release Garoppolo once he’s recovered from offseason shoulder surgery, the 49ers can clear $25.5 million in cap space. That’s a key reason why it’s hard to believe they’ll go into the year with him on the roster. While they don’t need the space for this year necessarily, they can roll that space over, and use it within the season to give themselves a little wiggle room.
Restructures and extensions can help clear some room, and perhaps San Francisco goes that route to try and get themselves under the cap once their nine-player rookie class is signed. Moving Garoppolo would be more efficient though. Either way, there’ll be some maneuvers before the year to help solve their current cap crunch. | https://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/22/nfl-salary-cap-space-49ers/ | 2022-05-23T08:53:55Z | https://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/22/nfl-salary-cap-space-49ers/ | true | 3 |
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — A series of complex challenges, including a lack of funding and political will as well as rising insecurity linked to extremist groups al-Qaida and the Islamic State in Burkina Faso, are obstructing progress on Africa’s Great Green Wall, according to experts involved in the initiative.
There have been some modest gains for the project, which plans to build an 8000-kilometer (4970-mile) long forest through 11 nations across the width of Africa to hold back the ever-growing Sahara Desert and fend off climate change impacts, but many involved with the plan are calling for renewed momentum to combat both insecurity and environmental decline.
Just 4 million hectares (9.9 million acres) of land has been afforested since work on the Green Wall began 15 years ago — a mere 4% of the program’s ultimate goal.
Adama Doulkom, the coordinator for the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative in Burkina Faso, said political instability and security issues are significantly stalling progress in nearly 4,000 villages across the country.
“Terrorist attacks in the affected regions have forced populations to disperse. This limits people’s movements, making it hard for us to directly monitor field actions which could lead to difficulty in creating improvements in certain areas,” Doulkom said.
In the last three years Burkinabe’s Sahel, north and east regions have become inaccessible. Much of the Sahelian region designated for the Green Wall is rife with security issues, with efforts in Sudan, Ethiopia, Mali, Chad, Niger and Nigeria all impacted.
The United Nation’s desertification agency said the plan has several additional challenges to overcome, such as lukewarm high-level political support, weak organizational structures, insufficient coordination and financing, and not enough consideration in national environmental priorities.
The Great Green Wall featured prominently at the U.N. agency’s two-week summit in Abidjan in Ivory Coast, which wrapped up Friday. Desertification, which has severe impacts on food production and security, is exacerbated by climate change and agricultural activity.
First proposed in 2005, the program aims to plant a forest all the way from Senegal on the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti in the east. It’s hoped the initiative will create millions of green jobs in rural Africa, reduce levels of climate-related migration in the region and capture hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Several countries have struggled to keep up with the demands of the project, with Mali, Nigeria, Djibouti and Mauritania in particular lagging behind.
The U.N. desertification agency says up to 45% of Africa’s land is impacted by desertification, making it more vulnerable than any other continent. The agency’s director, Ibrahim Thiaw, believes that can have multiple negative effects on surrounding communities, including security concerns.
A report released Sunday by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute also noted the link between environmental degradation and conflict. “In the Sahel, social tensions combined with inadequate governance and environmental decline to produce a bigger security risk,” it said.
“By restoring land, you reduce conflicts and irregular migration. There is a link between land restoration and irregular migration,” said Ibrahim Thiaw. “Land restoration is a no-regrets option in that any effort to recover soil health, replenish natural capital and restore land health will deliver benefits that far exceed the costs.”
“What we are calling for now is action to accelerate the implementation of such a program to make sure that farmers, pastoralists, local communities and women are all associated with it,” he added.
Despite a multitude of setbacks, those involved in the project remain optimistic. The coordinator of the Great Green Wall, Elvis Tangem, told the Associated Press that while conflict has slowed down the progress of the project, it has also opened up newer opportunities.
“It started as an environmental project but the dynamics of the region have made us look beyond the ecological aspects of the project and to embrace direct community concerns such as conflict resolution, peace building, youth development, women empowerment and rural development especially among pastoralists and farming communities,” he said.
Some progress has been made in recent years in the east of the continent, according the the program’s coordination office in Addis Ababa.
Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Sudan have all expanded their efforts, with Ethiopia producing 5.5 billion seedlings leading to thousands of hectares of restored land as well as an uptick in job creation. Efforts in Eritrea and Sudan have also resulted in nearly 140,000 hectares (346,000 acres) of afforestation.
Niger is also hailed for making considerable progress.
“In terms of measurable restoration milestones on the ground, Niger can be said to be far ahead of most of the countries with significant citizen awareness and contributing reforestation activities at all levels,” said Tabi Joda, a Great Green Wall ambassador. “More communities are embracing the initiative and taking the lead through their own community led solutions.”
Joda, who heads up youth mobilization for the project, noted that the scheme has seen strong governmental support in Senegal and Nigeria.
Between $36 and $43 billion are needed to realize the Green Wall by 2030, according to estimates by the World Resources Institute. The African Development Bank pledged approximately $6.5 billion for the wall by 2025 during the U.N.’s climate conference in November last year following an effort led by France in early 2021 which committed $14.5 billion towards the project, falling significantly short of the WRI’s estimate.
The U.N. desertification agency says the current land restoration pace must be ramped up to an average of 8.2 million hectares (20 million acres) per year if the project is to achieve its self-imposed goal of 100 million hectares (247 million acres) restored by 2030.
“Investments must be intentional to deliver opportunities that create the right dose of green jobs needed by the critical mass of youths and communities vulnerable to irregular migration and violence due to competition over scarce resources caused by land degradation,” Tabi Joda said.

Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, the president of the African Development Bank, reacted to criticism by The Economist, stating that the AfDB is an AAA-rated financial institution, the only one in Africa and has consistently maintained its stellar AAA credit ratings by all major global credit rating agencies.
Adesina disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, while responding to The Economist’s article which accused the bank of weak governance.
Adesina also added that the bank’s work has impacted 335 million people.
What the Economist said
In a recent article titled “Is weak governance harming the African Development Bank?”, The Economist claimed that “a number of incidents over the past two years raise troubling questions about how it is managed and whether its internal watchdogs have sufficient oversight of the AfDB’s executives.
They also throw into question whether the bank retains the full confidence of the creditors, donors and shareholders who fund it and whose support it needs to prevent African economies from being dragged down by mounting debt, surging international food and energy prices and the lingering effects of the pandemic.
“When taken as a whole they paint a picture of an organisation in need of reform. Its shareholders may have many reasons for not demanding change. Borrowing countries may worry that speaking up could result in fewer loans. Non-African donors, some of which are former colonial powers, may worry they will be seen as meddlers,” The Economists added.
The AfDB’s response
Adesina in his statement responded that the African Development Bank was ranked by Global Finance as the Best multilateral financial institution in the world in 2021. He said the African Development Fund was ranked by CGD as second best in the world, ahead of all 28 concessional financing institutions in developed countries.
- “We are a AAA-rated financial institution, the only one in Africa. We have consistently maintained our stellar AAA credit ratings by all major global credit rating agencies, who consistently praise our excellent risk management at the Bank.
- “We have an excellent and robust management and governance system. We deliver great value for our clients in Africa. Over the past six years, through our High 5 programs, our work has impacted on 335 million people. We deliver great value,” he said.
- Adesina also revealed that when COVID-19 struck, the Board, based on rigorous risk assessments, approved a crisis response facility of up to $10 billion, launching a $3 billion fight against Covid-19 social bond on the global capital markets, the highest ever US dollar-denominated social bond in world history.
- “Our rapid COVID-19 response facility helped towards stabilizing African economies. It trained 130,000 health workers. It provided social protection for about 30 million vulnerable households. It provided advisory support for 300,000 small and medium-sized businesses
- “We will continue to make Africa proud as Africa’s only AAA-rated financial institution,” he said.
The bank says it is well managed, is able to raise funds and is commended by its African members. | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/23/akinwunmi-adesina-responds-to-the-economist-says-afdb-is-africas-only-aaa-rated-financial-institution/ | 2022-05-23T09:00:11Z | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/23/akinwunmi-adesina-responds-to-the-economist-says-afdb-is-africas-only-aaa-rated-financial-institution/ | false | 1 |
A 42-year-old man has died after he was attacked while attempting to stop a teenager from stealing a bike in Perth's south.
The father conducted the act of good Samartian at Bull Creek after he witnessed the teen run off with another boy's bike.
Police say he confronted the teen at about 10.20am yesterday morning, when he was then stabbed in the stomach.
The man was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but could not be saved.
Police say the teen they believe is responsible for the death is on the run and are appealing for public information. | https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-dies-in-perth-after-being-stabbed-trying-to-stop-bike-thief/0926d147-93e8-4ce5-b0d2-8a085d0d5c87 | 2022-05-23T09:06:09Z | https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-dies-in-perth-after-being-stabbed-trying-to-stop-bike-thief/0926d147-93e8-4ce5-b0d2-8a085d0d5c87 | false | null |
Leadership Summit aims to equip and inspire leaders for the future
A host of excellent speakers are lined up for the upcoming 2022 Nelson Mandela Bay Leadership Summit, a hybrid event taking place on Wednesday, June 8 and Thursday, June 9 in Gqeberha.
The ninth annual Nelson Mandela Bay Leadership Summit, themed “Leadership Skills to inform the complexity of the demands on leadership”, will be presented online and in-person at the Boardwalk International Convention Centre in Summerstrand.
After two years of the Leadership Summit being presented strictly online, Eastern Cape leaders can once again look forward to rubbing shoulders with high-profile thought leaders and speakers, with a strong female component in the 2022 selection.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Leadership Summit is a collaborative partnership between the Nelson Mandela University Business School, MIKS Foundation, Engeli Enterprise Development and media partner Arena Holdings (The Herald).
Other sponsors include EOH, Sun Boardwalk, BDO, Edge Financial Solutions and Gutsche Investment & Management Company (Pty) Ltd.
Solidarity Fund CEO Tandi Nzimande, said she was not only looking forward to sharing her insights as a speaker at the Leadership Summit, but also l to learning from other leaders in the room.
“In a world of flux, the calibre, knowledge and understanding of a powerful leader is essential. Events such as this are important for knowledge-sharing and learning from one another’s experiences,” Nzimande said.
Speaking to the demands on leaders today, Nzimande said while the Covid-19 pandemic had been unprecedented in many ways, it was by no means the first devastating challenge that the world had faced, and nor would it be the last.
“From global economic depressions to local and international war to medical crises, leaders have to navigate all manner of catastrophes. And the response to each varies.
“So, rather than talking about how to prepare for the future, we need to talk more about the characteristics of a good leader.
“This current crisis has highlighted what a leader needs to be to face the challenges of the future.”
Some of the characteristics leaders should embrace, Nzimande said, included being flexible and agile, showing humanity, having an ability to care as well as being prepared to be wrong.
“There is no room in a crisis for ego or politics — both of which demand that you always have to be seen as having the answers.
“There is nothing more dangerous than digging your heels in and following a path that isn’t working,” Nzimande said.
Cartesian Capital managing partner and founder Anthea Gardner will share the stage with Nzimande as a speaker on the second day, and said she was excited about sharing her ideas.
Her talk is titled “Building a better economy: A fresh look at the South African socioeconomic landscape”.
“As an asset manager, I am acutely aware of the perils we face in the SA economy and am concerned that we are focusing on the wrong issues,” she said.
“We need strong role models to drive the future of our country and to build an inclusive economy.”
She said other than leadership being a privilege to better the lives of others, it was almost always characterised by people who turned negatives around, by going out to find solutions.
“The socioeconomic landscape is fraught with regulatory speed-bumps, and it is time for the politicians to get out of the way and the people of SA to stand together and build businesses based on meritocracy and return to being a society of givers rather than takers.”
Other speakers for the two-day event include Business Unity South Africa president Bonang Francis Mohale, Isuzu senior vice-president for rest of Africa markets Penny Mkhwanazi, EOH Group CEO Stephen Van Coller, Net1 Southern African CEO Lincoln Mali, JSE director of human resources Palesa Ntoagae, and Brave Inflexions founder Claudelle von Eck.

Maruti Suzuki shares' top Sensex gainer today. Axis Securities has 'Buy' tag on the auto stock
1 min read . Updated: 23 May 2022, 01:30 PM IST- Sharing as its top stock pick of the week, the brokerage has a Buy rating on Maruti Suzuki shares
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) could emerge as the biggest beneficiary of demand recovery in the post-Covid period, considering its stronghold in the entry-level segment and a favourable product lifecycle, as per domestic brokerage and research Axis Securities.
Sharing as its top stock pick of the week, the brokerage has a Buy rating on Maruti Suzuki shares with a target price of ₹8,500. The auto stock has risen about 5% in 2022 (YTD) so far.
“New launches, are being rightly targeted at filling the gaps in its portfolio, and would likely improve the overall product mix moving forward. Moreover, the company would gain further market share, driven by an expected shift towards petrol and CNG vehicles," the note.
The brokerage house expects the auto company’s volumes to witness a strong growth compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% over FY22-24E and also expects margins to be supported by strong demand, softening commodity inflation, and improving chip shortages.
“We expect a recovery of both market share and margin in FY23 and FY24, led by a favourable product lifecycle, operating leverage, and product mix as well as price action/cost-cutting," Axis Securities added.
Though Q1FY23 margins will be lower quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) due to the rise in steel, aluminium and copper prices, the brokerage expects the same to normalize from H2FY23E onwards and resume its uptrend.
“MSIL’s export volumes remain robust and the growth has been driven by the usage of Toyota’s international network, the introduction of more products, expanding reach, and the implementation of innovative selling practices. The opportunity in the export market continues to be lucrative and the company’s renewed efforts are working out very well," said Axis Securities.

Cardless cash withdrawals from ATMs using UPI: How to do
3 min read . Updated: 23 May 2022, 01:58 PM ISTCardless cash withdrawls from ATMs using UPI will prove to be a game-changer
Cardless cash withdrawls from ATMs using UPI will prove to be a game-changer
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to provide the option of Interoperable Card-less Cash Withdrawal (ICCW) at their ATMs. Currently, cardless cash withdrawal through ATMs is offered by a few banks for their customers at their own ATMs
Ravi B Goyal, Chairman & MD, AGS Transact Technologies Limited said that the RBI’s initiative to introduce interoperability of Cardless cash withdrawals on ATMs and CRMs via UPI can prove to be a game-changer as it will provide added convenience to the end-users especially the new generation which is accustomed to making digital payments via smartphones.
“UPI has revolutionised India's digital payments ecosystem in the past few years benefitting both the merchants and consumers across value chain. Additionally, this solution will make ATM transactions more secure by reducing card-based frauds such as cloning and skimming as well as negating the fear of loss of card," Ravi B Goyal said.
How to withdraw cash from ATMs using UPI
The bank customers can simply scan the QR code on ATM screen to perform the required transaction and authenticate it by entering the mPIN on their smartphone, making it a faster and more secured way of cash withdrawal/deposit.
From Bank’s perspective, it only requires a software upgrade to enable this solution across its ATM network. We believe that bringing the success of UPI on to a popular channel such as ATM will further the vision of digital India," said Ravi B Goyal.
This initiative will further boost UPI payments in the country and also reduce the chances of ATM frauds says Pranay Jhaveri, Managing Director - India & South Asia at Euronet Worldwide
“The cardless cash withdrawal circular issued by RBI is primarily aimed at curbing frauds like skimming, card cloning and device tampering. While the pandemic acted as a catalyst, digital transactions in the country have risen exponentially over the last few years because of increasing internet usage and smartphone penetration as well. With this initiative soon all users will have greater freedom to withdraw money at their own convenience, without being restricted by a physical ATM card. This will also allow customers to not face any inconvenience even if their card issuance by the bank is delayed, as banks are currently facing some issues with card supply because of a global chip shortage," said Pranay Jhaveri.
K Srinivas, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer – India1 Payments Ltd. said that UPI’s popularity among urban consumers will ensure rapid adoption in this segment.
“ICCW is a great initiative by RBI and this adds a new form factor for ATM cash withdrawal. Cardless withdrawal using Aadhar authentication (AEPS) should be the next step to facilitate ATM access among the semi urban and rural consumers, where the active card percentage is low. Additionally, such withdrawal will improve convenience and security as customers can eliminate cards and thereby, also the risk due to card cloning and other frauds," he said.
In April, the RBI had said the absence of need for a card to initiate cash withdrawal transactions would help in containing frauds like skimming, card cloning and device tampering. | https://www.livemint.com/money/personal-finance/cardless-cash-withdrawals-from-atms-using-upi-how-to-do-11653288557458.html | 2022-05-23T09:15:47Z | https://www.livemint.com/money/personal-finance/cardless-cash-withdrawals-from-atms-using-upi-how-to-do-11653288557458.html | false | 2 |

Man Utd & Arsenal-linked Kamara joins Aston Villa on free transfer after leaving Marseille
Boubacar Kamara has signed for Aston Villa on a five-year contract after leaving Marseille, with the Premier League club winning the race for a midfielder that had also been strongly linked with Manchester United and Arsenal.
Kamara attracted interest from the Premier League during an impressive 2021-22 campaign at Marseille, who he helped finish second in Ligue 1 to qualify for the Champions League.
The 22-year-old left Stade Velodrome after their final game of the season against Strasbourg, having decided against extending his contract, and will now continue his development in England with Villa.

Villa confirm Kamara signing
Villa have confirmed Kamara's arrival on a free transfer, with the Frenchman committing to a deal that will keep him on their books until 2027.
Meanwhile, head coach Steven Gerrard has expressed his delight after sealing his first new signing of the summer.
“I am delighted that we have been able to attract one of the most promising young talents in European football," Gerrard told the club's media.
"We have a very clear plan to make our team stronger and Bouba is an important part of that.”
What will Kamara bring to Villa?
Kamara will provide extra competition in the Villa midfield alongside the likes of Douglas Luiz and John McGinn as they seek to push for a European spot in 2022-23.
The former Marseille star thrived in a holding role at Stade Velodrome, appearing in 170 games across all competitions after initially breaking into their senior squad in 2016.
Kamara is also capable of contributing in the final third as he managed to record four goals and six assists for Marseille, and his chances of earning a place in the France national team could be boosted now that he is taking on a new challenge in the Premier League. | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/man-utd-arsenal-linked-kamara-free-transfer-aston-villa-five/blt5b34981c894c3552 | 2022-05-23T09:23:33Z | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/man-utd-arsenal-linked-kamara-free-transfer-aston-villa-five/blt5b34981c894c3552 | false | 10 |
Tory minister threatens energy firms with windfall tax if they fail to use 'enormous profits' to help solve cost of living crisis - as polls show 74% of Brits back levy
- Simon Clarke said firms must show they are using profits to help the economy
- Treasury Chief Secretary refused to rule out windfall tax if that didn't happen
- Ministers including Sajid Javid and Jacob Rees-Mogg are against new tax
- But other senior figures in the party, past and present, have backed Rishi Sunak
Energy firms must channel their 'massive profits' into the economy to help with the cost-of-living crisis if they want to avoid being hit with a windfall tax, a senior Treasury minister warned today.
Simon Clarke said that firms must demonstrate that huge winnings banked when the cost of oil and gas spiked earlier this year are being 'directed in a way in which is productive for the real economy'.
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury refused to rule out a windfall tax if that didn't happen, amid a Cabinet and wider Tory rift over the idea.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has not ruled out imposing a windfall tax on energy producers, but ministers including Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Brandon Lewis, Sajid Javid and Jacob Rees-Mogg have criticised the measure as ineffective.
However other senior figures in the party, past and present, have backed Mr Sunak, including ex-Treasury minister Jesse Norman.
Former chancellor George Osborne also predicted last night that the tax would come in, though he said it 'doesn't massively help'.
Polls have also shown support for the move among the general public, as bills rise for households across the country, with almost three-quarters in favour of a tax.
Speaking to LBC, Mr Clarke said: 'The sector is realising enormous profits at the moment.
'If those profits are not directed in a way in which is productive for the real economy, then clearly all options are on the table.
Simon Clarke said that firms must demonstrate that huge winnings banked when the cost of oil and gas spiked earlier this year are being 'directed in a way in which is productive for the real economy'.
Polls have also shown support for the move among the general public, as bills rise for households across the country, with almost three-quarters in favour of a tax.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has not ruled out imposing a windfall tax on energy producers, but ministers including Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Brandon Lewis (right), Sajid Javid (left) and Jacob Rees-Mogg have criticised the measure as ineffective.
Former chancellor George Osborne also predicted last night that the tax would come in, though he said it 'doesn't massively help'.
Conservative MP Jesse Norman said this morning it is 'perfectly clear' that the Government is going to need to do more to support people in the next few months.
'And that's what we are communicating to the sector, that we obviously want to see this investment, we need to see this investment.
'If it doesn't happen, then we can't rule out a windfall tax.'
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under pressure to introduce a one-off levy on firms which have benefited from globally high oil and gas prices and use the revenue to fund measures to ease the cost-of-living crisis on households struggling with rising bills.
However, he is reportedly resisting the tax, saying it should not be used to help families. The Sunday Times reported that his senior aides believe it is 'unconservative' but if unavoidable the billions raised should be ploughed into new nuclear and wind technology, rather than helping families.
Conservative MP Jesse Norman said this morning it is 'perfectly clear' that the Government is going to need to do more to support people in the next few months.
'And a windfall tax justification in part rests on the widespread need that we are going to need to support people, and recognition of that, and we're going to do that I hope quite comprehensively because that's what's going to be needed,' the former financial secretary to the Treasury told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Governments treat tax with 'extreme caution', particularly windfall taxes as they tend to be 'unexpected responses to situations', Mr Norman said, adding: 'But we're not in ordinary times. We're in absolutely extraordinary times at the moment.'
Former chancellor Mr Osborne said he believes the Government will impose a windfall tax.
Asked about the tax on Channel 4's Andrew Neil show, he said: 'I think he (Mr Sunak) will do one but I have to say it's not really addressing the serious fiscal problem the country is going to have in the next two or three years.
'It's a one-off scoop of money. You have an interesting dynamic where, apparently, Number 10 don't want one and Number 11 do.'
Last night Ms Trevelyan said the Government is encouraging energy producers to invest their profits in green alternatives rather than imposing the tax.
She told Times Radio: 'As the Chancellor said, it's really important that he's able to keep everything under review.
'He has set out a very clear position that he wants these energy companies, as they have made unexpectedly higher profits because of these price hikes, that they use that to invest in the clean energies of the future.'
Ms Trevelyan described a windfall tax as a 'very short-term measure', adding: 'I don't think a windfall tax is the most efficient way to do anything, I don't think it drives forward at a pace.'
Meanwhile, Michael Lewis, chief executive of E.ON UK, has called on the Government to 'tax those with the broadest shoulders'.
He told BBC One's Sunday Morning TV show that approximately one million of E.ON's eight million UK accounts are already in arrears, and this is expected to rise by 50% come October.
Mr Lewis said increasing Universal Credit payments and imposing a 'social tariff' on energy companies would ease the cost of bills for those struggling to pay them.
Responding to E.ON's projection for the number of people expected to be in arrears by October, shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves renewed Labour's calls for the Government to urgently impose a windfall tax.
She said: 'These comments underline how tough the cost-of-living crisis is for families, and how Conservative delays will see the situation get even worse.
'The Government must act now, by bringing in a windfall tax on oil and gas producer profits to cut bills.'
Labour has also warned that schools in England could be paying an estimated £1 billion-a-year in energy bills, taking money away from pupils' learning.
The party said children's futures were being put at risk, citing Government data which showed the cost of energy to state schools after a projected increase of 93% at the end of 2021.
On average, secondary schools were now estimated to be spending over £161,000 on energy, while primaries were spending around £32,000, according to data compiled by the House of Commons Library. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10844665/Tory-minister-threatens-energy-firms-windfall-tax-enormous-profits-help-economy.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-05-23T09:25:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10844665/Tory-minister-threatens-energy-firms-windfall-tax-enormous-profits-help-economy.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |

As actor Shefali Shah rang into her 49th birthday on Sunday, May 22, 2022, she took to her social media space and shared an adorable throwback picture from her childhood. The actor is undoubtedly a powerhouse of talent and her eclectic roles and nuanced performances are proof of it. From Delhi Crime to Human, Shefali has aced every role perfectly and this year, she has earned accolades for her performance in the Amazon Prime Video film Jalsa as well as the Disney + Hotstar series Human.
On Sunday, Shefali Shah took to her Instagram handle and dropped a monochromatic throwback picture from her birthday celebrations during her childhood days. The pic features Shah cutting a cake, while other kids, who seem to be her friends, are seen celebrating her special day. She could be seen dressed in a white shiny top with her hair tied in two braids. She captioned the post, "On this day zillion years ago! #birthday #throwback."
Fans were quick to react and the comment section is proof of it. A netizen commented, "Happy Birthday to you shefu beta. God bless you, sweetheart," another one wrote in the comments, "Many Many Happy Returns of the Day.. Dear.. Sweet madam, I wish Infinite of Love, joy And happiness came a full year ahead of love you so much." A fan even wrote that she looked unrecognisable in the picture.
Shefali is currently enjoying her vacation at Canary Islands Resort in Lonavala with her husband Vipul Amrutlal Shah and her younger son Aryaman. Sharing pictures on her Instagram stories, she revealed that she is missing her elder son Maurya on the vacation.
Shefali Shah was last seen in Human, which is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. Apart from her, the web series also stars Kirti Kulhari, Ram Kapoor, Vishal Jethwa, Riddhi Kumar, and Indraneil Sengupta, among others. Human explores the 'dark and twisted world of unethical human trials' in a provocative yet real manner.
She has multiple projects lined up in her kitty including Doctor G, Darlings, and Delhi Crime Season 2. Delhi Crime was renewed for the second season with the main cast returning, but recently, Netflix has asked to make some major changes and ordered reshoots for Season 2.

“Two women were taken to hospital for treatment and the road was cleared around 9.10pm.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have been contacted for comment.
We earlier told how a man had been rushed to hospital in a serious condition following a separate crash on a different part of the busy motorway.
A woman and a child were also treated for minor injuries following the one vehicle smash near Livingston on Sunday afternoon.

IPL 2022: Umran Malik's father reacts as SRH pacer gets maiden India call-up for T20Is against South Africa
Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik, who has emerged as the quickest bowler in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, was handed a national call-up by the BCCI for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa. The 22-year-old's father shared his views as his son was fast-tracked into the senior team.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Umran Malik has received national call-up for T20Is vs SA
- Malik emerged as the fastest bowler in Indian Premier League 2022
- The 22-year-old's father shared his views on his son's success
As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced India's squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa, 22-year-old Umran Malik's name didn't come as a surprise. Malik, who is only the second cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to be selected for the senior team, made heads turn with his raw pace in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Competing with some of the quickest pacers in world cricket like Kagiso Rabada, Lockie Ferguson and Anrich Nortje, Malik has regularly clocked 150 kmph in the IPL and has also bowled the fastest delivery of IPL 2022 by clocking 157 kmph. Malik's father was on Cloud 9 ever since he heard the news and said the entire country's support was with his son.
"People were just coming in hoards to congratulate me. I am now going home and would join the celebrations. Just saw the news on the internet. What could be a bigger achievement than to wear the national colours. He has made all of us proud with his performances in the IPL and the way the whole country rallied behind him, we as a family can only be thankful. Pura desh ke support mila mere Umran ko,” Rashid told PTI.
Coming from a humble background, Malik had impressed everybody with his pace in IPL 2021 - where he played just three matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kane Williamson & Co. then went on to retain Malik for Rs 4 crore ahead of IPL mega auction.

Malik's father went on to add that he doesn't deserve any credit for his son's success as he had the self-belief to do well. "Umran had the self-belief that one day he will achieve success. He had faith in his skill and talent and worked hard for it. It is completely his success and also the Almighty's blessings. He worked hard and God supported him. I don't deserve credit for his hard work," Rashid added.

MANILA - The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has opened a country office in Manila, the US embassy said Monday.
The launch of the US CDC's country office is a "commitment to strengthen and expand its existing cooperation" with the Department of Health to advance programs such as "increased health security in Asia," the embassy said in a statement.
"With the opening of the US CDC Philippines country office, we are further reinforcing the long-standing HHS partnership between our two countries and our work together to build a healthier world,” said Loyce Pace, Assistant Secretary for Global Affairs of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
"The COVID-19 pandemic is a poignant reminder of why strong international partnerships are so critical for our global health security."
Dr. Romel Lacson will serve as the CDC’s first country director for the Philippines, the US embassy said.
“In this new era, partnership is more essential than ever. We must be willing to take on challenges together and create opportunities together. This is why the launch of this office and our work together is so important,” Lacson said.
The embassy added that the DOH and its US counterpart also commemorated the signing of a memorandum of understanding on Health and Medical Sciences focused on increasing its collaboration on the following:
- public health emergency preparedness and response
- the prevention and control of vaccine-preventable and communicable diseases
- the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases
The US, a long-time ally of the Philippines, has donated more than P1.9 billion to aid the Southeast Asian country's COVID-19 response, according to its embassy in Manila.

.. Assures on FG support for enhanced fleets recapitulation
By Chimezie Godfrey
The Minister of Defence Maj Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtd) has assured the Air Marshal Oladayo Amao led Nigerian Air Force of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to sustaining the trajectory of the Air power attacks capabilities of the Service.
This according to him will be a catalyst towards reinforcing its National defence constiitional role assuring that the President is poised to providing new platforms for its operations.
In a statement signed by the Special Assistant to the Minister of Defence on Media and Publicity,. Mohammad Abdulkadri, General Magashi stated this in his inaugural speech as Special guest of honour at the NAF 58th anniversary seminar held at the NAF base Kano, Kano State.
He commended the strategic role of the Nigerian Air Force in the on-going joint Forces Operations towards keeping the sanctity and integrity of the nation’s sovereignty.
The Defence Minister said that the theme of the seminar, “Enhancing the Nigerian Air Force’s Operational Efficiency in Joint Operations for Effective Response to Contemporary National Security Imperatives” is apt pointing out that it couldn’t have come at a better time.
In his opening remarks the Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Oladayo Amao justified the hosting of the NAF Day / Reunion 2022 in Kano as a mark of respect and honour in honour of the Minister of Defence Maj Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtd) whose guidance and support to the service he said are impacting greatly on its operations in various ways.
While appreciating the totality of the huge support of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari to the service, Air Marshal Amao stressed that the service has come a long way in fulfilling its constitional mandate of defending National territorial integrity and cohesion in a joint Operational environment.
The Chief of Air Staff who disclosed that NAF has evolved new strategy to improve its critical Air power capabilities for joint Forces employment and deployment said the 58th anniversary celebrations have touched the hearts and minds of many Nigerians domiciled in various contiguous Communities bordering NAF Units and Bases across the country through the medical outreaches.
The first paper titled Air – Ground integration and Operational Efficiency: AFN in perspective was delivered by Group Captain AA Komolafe while the 2nd seminar paper delivered by Air Commodore MC Ekwueme was on “Optimizing NAF UAV Operations for Effective Joint Force Employment”.
The climax of the NAF Seminar was the presentation of souvenirs and the unveiling of the book , ” Nigerian Air Force; So Far” | https://newsdiaryonline.com/defence-minister-lauds-naf-national-defence-capabilities/ | 2022-05-23T09:50:16Z | https://newsdiaryonline.com/defence-minister-lauds-naf-national-defence-capabilities/ | true | 1 |
Peloton’s (NASDAQ:PTON) stock has seen another sell-off, falling by around 40% over the last month, as surging inflation, rising interest rates, and the prospect of a recession continued to turn investors away from growth stocks and pandemic favorites. Moreover, Peloton’s Q3 FY’22 earnings were weaker than expected, with revenue declining to $964.3 million from $1.26 billion a year ago, as demand for at-home fitness equipment cooled considerably. This marked Peloton’s first year-over-year revenue decline since it went public. Peloton’s poor planning didn’t help either, as inventory has piled up, eating into the company’s cash just as sales fell. Net losses also widened to $2.27 per share, from about $0.03 a year earlier. Things are expected to remain tough over Q4 FY’22 as well, with the company projecting revenue of between $675 million and $700 million, well below consensus estimates, marking a decline of as much as 29% from the same quarter last year.
With the recent sell-off, Peloton stock now remains down by about 85% from all-time highs and by about 60% over the last year. Although it probably isn’t wise to anchor to all-time highs for stocks such as Peloton which saw surging demand through the Covid-19 pandemic, likely a one-off event, we think the risk to reward positioning for Peloton stock is very favorable at current levels of around $14 per share.
Peloton’s lucrative subscription business has continued to expand, despite the recent headwinds. Over Q3, subscription revenue rose by 54% year-over-year to $370 million, with subscription gross margins rising by 350 basis points to 68.1%. Peloton’s base of connected fitness subscribers – who pay for classes synced to their Peloton equipment – rose 40% to 2.96, million although quarterly net adds slowed considerably. Peloton’s core customer base also appears very loyal, with churn rates standing at a mere 0.75%. Peloton thinks it has pricing power here, with its connected fitness fees set to rise from $39 per month to $44 in July. Peloton’s hardware business is more of a gateway to the more lucrative subscriptions and Peloton now appears to be open to forgoing some upfront hardware-related revenues in favor of more content and subscription sales. For instance, the company recently lowered pricing on its original Bike by $300 to $1,195, with prices for the Bike+ dropping by $500 to $1,995. Even the company’s new Guide strength training device went on sale at a lower than expected $295.
Separately, with travel and gym memberships on the rise once again following Covid, Peloton could see some upside from its acquisition of fitness equipment maker Precor and its deals with commercial establishments. Peloton’s market cap currently stands at just under $5 billion, making the company an acquisition target for larger tech or lifestyle companies such as Apple, Amazon, or even Nike. Peloton’s valuation is also compelling. The stock now trades at just about 1.4x consensus 2022 revenues, down from over 6x pre-pandemic. There remains a real prospect that it could be re-rated higher, as subscription revenues account for a greater mix of sales. For example, over Q3, subscription revenue accounted for close to 39% of total sales, up from just 19% a year ago.
We estimate Peloton’s Valuation to be around $30 per share which is well ahead of the current market price. Check out our analysis on Peloton Revenues: How Does Peloton Make Money for a closer look at Peloton’s business model, key revenue streams, and how they have been trending.

Tuchel ‘keen’ on takeover to be completed as Todd Boehly was spotted on pitch, Bellingham LINKED – Watford win reaction
CHELSEA will be delighted to have ended their season with a victory over Watford at Stamford Bridge.
And prospective owner Todd Boehly stepped foot on the pitch after the game to congratulate the players.
Thomas Tuchel is keen for the takeover to be completed as he has admitted that the Blues' "hands are tied" in regards to dealing with transfers.
Which is currently preventing the West London outfit from landing a deal for talented Borussia Dortmund youngster Jude Bellingham who Chelsea are reportedly linked to.
FABULOUS BINGO: Get a £20 bonus & 30 free spins when you spend £10 today
Keep up to date with all of the latest gossip from the Stamford Bridge...
Juve won't spend big on Jorginho
Juventus are still interested in signing Chelsea's Jorginho, but are refusing to 'spend big' to land their man.
That's the understanding of Fabrizio Romano for Caught Offside, who believes the Serie A club are prioritising moves for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba.
While the Old Lady also want to add the Italian midfielder to their ranks, the 'deal has to be right' for them - and that will depend on what Chelsea wish to do with the 30-year-old.
Long-serving coach to leave
Chelsea said goodbye to a number of star players yesterday following their final day win over Watford.
However, one exit from the club that went under the radar yet may ultimately be felt as much is that of coach Christophe Lollichon.
The senior goalkeeping coach revealed on his Twitter account that was calling time on his 15 years at Stamford Bridge.
Lollichon described his stay with the Blues as 'an honour' since arriving from Rennes in 2007.
Good morning Chelsea fans
Many of Chelsea’s stars will be heading abroad next week as their holidays begin.
However, boss Thomas Tuchel has no plans to go anywhere. He revealed after the Blues beat Chelsea 2-1 on the final day: “No I can’t go on holiday, no. There is too much to clarify and have an opinion.”
He also talked about meeting Todd Boehly and what is needed to progress next season.
“It will not be easy to close the gap because we are forced not to [make signings]. We need to be fast and smart when we are allowed.”
Mason Mount has been crowned as Chelsea’s player of the season again.
It’s the second time in a row the playmaker has won the award. He follows Eden Hazard, who was a previous back-to-back winner.
Meanwhile, Marcos Alonso may have played his last game for Chelsea.
The Spanish defender missed Sunday’s game against Watford through injury. He is reportedly in talks to return to Spain with Barcelona.
Alonso's last game for Chelsea?
Marcos Alonso may have played his last game for Chelsea.
The Spanish defender missed Sunday's game against Watford through injury.
Tuchel explained: “Marcos Alonso had a back problem in our first match against West Ham where he needed to go out and then he missed some matches.
"He had more or less the same through the last games and he played with this pain through the match against Leicester.
"Now he felt the muscle contraction goes right through to the hamstrings so it made no sense to take this risk with him."
However, with reports suggesting Alonso is deep in contract talks with Barcelona, it appears we may not see him in a Chelsea shirt once again.
Chilwell buzzing
Ben Chilwell has spoken about his road to recovery, after injury ended his season.
The England full-back suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Juventus back in November.
However, last month Chilwell has stepped up the recovery process.
And he revealed he wouldn't have been able to do it without the support of his team mates.
He said: "It's a very tight group. From day one of my injury I felt the support from the fans, the staff, the players, everyone at Chelsea I've felt the support from. It made it a lot easier. I'm buzzing to be back."
Club departure
Christophe Lollichon has revealed he is leaving Stamford Bridge, after 15 years of working with the club's goalkeepers.
In a statement, he wrote: "After 15 years at Chelsea FC, it’s time to announce that I am leaving the Blues.
"From 1st team goalkeeper coach to working with the keepers on loan and the recruitment dept, being a part of the club’s success has been an honour.
Thank you to the fans and everyone at the club."
Real deal
Real Madrid have reportedly opened talks with Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni in a blow to a string of Premier League sides.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the teams who had been targeting the highly-rated midfielder.
Madrid will be hunting for high-profile summer signings after being snubbed by Kylian Mbappe on Saturday.
And journalist Santi Aouna reports that the Spanish club has been in contact and ready to make an offer.
What holiday
Many of Chelsea's stars will be heading abroad next week as their holidays begin.
However, boss Thomas Tuchel has no plans to go anywhere.
He revealed: "No I can't go on holiday, no. There is too much to clarify and have an opinion."
He's also talked about meeting Todd Boehly and what is needed to progress next season.
"It will not be easy to close the gap because we are forced not to [make signings]. We need to be fast and smart when we are allowed."
Player of the season
Mason Mount has been crowned as Chelsea's player of the season again.
It's the second time in a row the playmaker has won the award.
He follows Eden Hazard, who was previous back-to-back winner.
Premier League 2021-22
This is where we finished, and who did what in terms of European qualification.
Title: Manchester City
UCL: Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs
UEL: Arsenal, Manchester United
UECL: West Ham
Relegation: Burnley, Watford, Norwich
Full-time
The Blues have edged out Watford 2-1.
Despite dominating proceedings, it looked like Gosling had equalised to earn the Hornets a draw.
But up popped Ross Barkley in injury time to score a winner.
As things stand
Champions -Man City
Champions League - Liverpool - Chelsea - Tottenham
Europa League - Arsenal- West Ham
Relegated - Burnley
Half-time
Peep peep at Stamford Bridge.
In their final home game of the season, and Chelsea lead 1-0 at the break.
Incredibly, they've had 72 per cent of the possession and had 11 shots at goal.
But, as has been the problem all season, with just three of those efforts on target - we know where Chelsea's problems are.
Romelu Lukaku is on the bench. Will we see him in the second half?
1-0 Blues
11 minutes gone and Kai Havertz has given Chelsea the lead.
That early goal could be the start of a hatful at Stamford Bridge.
Not the (possible) farewell from football Roy Hodgson would want.
Tuchel will be happy, though.
Azpilicueta gets ready
Chelsea have tweeted a photo of Azilicueta preparing for the final game of the season against Watford.
Will it be his last ever for the Blues?
Chelsea starting XI for today
Reasonably usual team selection, however Kenedy and Saul do come in.
Ben Chilwell is back on the bench.
Please mind the gap
For all of Chelsea's high expectations having won the Champions League last season, the Blues have only their pride to play for today and head coach Thomas Tuchel believes that his side may struggle to close the gap on City and Liverpool.
The German boss spoke on this in the Blues' pre-match press conference.
Tuchel said:"It is going to be very difficult because even if we keep the team and have maybe the chance to add one or two key players, it would already be difficult. Maybe even very difficult.
"It was an incredible season from City and Liverpool and in the end, I don't lie to myself."
No Blues in top notchers
There are no Chelsea players in the race for the Premier League top scoring honours.
Harry Kane collected the trophy last season with 23 goals, but it is his attacking teammate Hueng-min Son who is chasing it this year with 21 goals.
The man leading the charts for the golden boot – currently on 22 goals – is Liverpool talisman Mo Salah.
Mo Salah (Liverpool) – 22 goals
Heung-min Son (Tottenham) – 21 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd) – 18 goals
Harry Kane (Tottenham) – 16 goals
Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) – 15 goals
Diogo Jota (Liverpool) – 15 goals
Sadio Mane (Liverpool) – 15 goals
Jamie Vardy (Leicester) – 14 goals
Raheem Sterling (Man City) – 13 goals
Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) – 13 goalsMason Mount has 11 league goals.
Kounde heading for Chelsea, say reports
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is reportedly edging closer to signing for Chelsea after agreeing personal terms over a switch to Stamford Bridge, writes Jake Lambourne.
transfer guru Andreas Korssund has claimed that the player has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, who are ready to meet Sevilla’s asking price.
It is understood that the LaLiga outfit are seeking a fee in the region of £59million.
Korssung tweeted: “Jules Kounde is closing in on a move to Chelsea.
“The Blues will conclude talks with Sevilla as soon as Boehly’s takeover is complete and they are ready to pay the required fee.
“Personal terms have already been agreed and the Frenchman is only waiting for Chelsea.”
Kepa ‘unhappy’ but will talk with Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel will hold showdown talks with “unhappy” goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga over his Chelsea future, writes Joshua Jones.
The world’s most expensive stopper, 27, arrived at Stamford Bridge for a whopping £71.6million in 2018.
And Tuchel confirmed the pair would sit down for honest discussions to work out what is best for the former Athletic Bilbao stopper next.
The Chelsea boss said: “It depends what he wants and what his plans are.
“I know for sure that Kepa is not happy about the situation because he deserved to play more and he can be a very strong number one.
“We did not have a conversation yet but I know that the goalkeeper coaches have these conversations at the moment and then we will take our time to speak with him and reflect on what’s best and what the possibilities are.”
How Chelsea could line up vs Leicester
Reece James may keep his place but Azpilicueta is the logical alternative with a move to Barca on the cards.
Going forward, Mason Mount was benched last night but is fit to return against Watford.
And he could fill in either on the wing or in a No10 role behind a strike partnership.
If Tuchel opts for a 3-4-1-2, Romelu Lukaku could partner Kai Havertz up front.
Chelsea’s season finale
Chelsea entertain Watford TODAY – the final day of the season.
It is scheduled to kick off at 4pm UK time at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel’s side scraped a marginal win when the sides met earlier on in the campaign.
It has unfortunately not been selected as one of the Sky Sports chosen games.
Chelsea in queue for David
Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.
West Ham and Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the Canadian speedster.
Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
Lampard keen to pay the levi
EXCLUSIVE: Everton boss Frank Lampard is plotting a move for Chelsea’s brilliant young centre-half Levi Colwill, writes ALAN NIXON.
Lampard hopes his old club help him out with a loan agreement for the classy defender, 19, who was a key part of Huddersfield’s push to the play-off final.
The Toffees’ top spies have watched elegant Colwill, who was briefly under Lamps’ wing at Stamford Bridge.
He is due to go back to Chelsea and may be needed for their first-team squad if it is drastically changed next season.
But Everton want to offer him Prem football after staying up, which gives them a chance of success.
Lampard was given Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori when he was boss at Derby and his relationships are still strong after his time in charge of Chelsea.
Chelsea ‘obvious match for Pogba’
Paul Pogba has been rated Chelsea’s perfect signing.
The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is tipped for a summer free transfer to old club Juventus or PSG, with Real Madrid now outsiders.
But ex-Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Pogba would form a natural partnership with a more defensive France team-mate at Stamford Bridge.
Fellow Frenchman Saha told Lord Ping: “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.
“Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled his dream.”
Pogba has reportedly rejected joining United’s neighbours City. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18629409/chelsea-transfer-news-tuchel-todd-boehly-takeover-bellingham-watford/ | 2022-05-23T10:19:33Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18629409/chelsea-transfer-news-tuchel-todd-boehly-takeover-bellingham-watford/ | false | 5 |

Investment in high voltage distribution will reduce, shorten outages for electric customers
JACKSON, Mich. , May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy today announced plans for $100 million of investment in 2022 to reduce both the number and length of power outages. The energy provider will make significant upgrades to its high voltage distribution (HVD) system in an effort to make the power grid more reliable for Consumers Energy's electric customers.
"As an energy provider, we know keeping the lights on is job No. 1 for us. And as weather becomes more severe, Michigan needs a power grid that's more reliable and resilient. That's why these upgrades are so important," said Tim Sparks, Consumers Energy's vice president of electric grid integration. "The HVD system is the backbone of our power grid. Making these improvements will help us deliver more reliable energy that is clean and affordable to our electric customers."
The 2022 investment represents a continued focus on increasing investment in the HVD system.
A large part the planned investment to the HVD system in 2022 is on HVD lines, and upgrades will impact approximately 130,000 Consumers Energy electric customers across the state. Work planned includes:
- Rebuilding nearly 40 miles of HVD lines
- Rehabilitating over 64 miles of HVD line poletop equipment
- Replacing 750 poles, and;
- Installing new technology that will enable Consumers Energy to more quickly and effectively isolate and restore outages.
The HVD system connects the electric transmission system to Consumers Energy's low voltage distribution (LVD) system. The HVD system carries electricity at either 46,000 volts or 138,000 volts. Consumers Energy's network of distribution substations and smaller transformers then step the voltage down progressively for safe delivery to homes and businesses.
This year's HVD upgrades are part of Consumers Energy's larger efforts to build a more reliable and resilient energy grid through its five-year, $5.4 billion Electric Reliability Plan. That plan is a blueprint for serving Michigan today and innovating to meet the challenges of the coming decades. Investments such as trimming trees, replacing poles and wires and upgrading substations and key equipment are top priorities, especially with climate change causing more frequent and severe weather events.
Consumers Energy has increased investment in forestry by more than 60 percent since 2018 as trees are the number one cause for power outages, and the plan includes a significant increase in spending — more than $500 million over five years — to keep distribution lines clear.
Through the reliability plan, Consumers Energy plans to reduce the average length of time that customers are without power by nearly 15% from 2020 to 2025.
Consumers Energy is Michigan's largest energy provider, providing natural gas and/or electricity to 6.8 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.

What a year. Can you remember a windier spring? It never seems to stop, sometimes days at a time. Especially that pesky northwesterly wind that seems to just get stronger as the day goes along. That can have its plusses and minuses when it comes to sailing. Sometimes it cancels practices of our glorious high school sailing team, but most of the time it doesn’t.
My team co-leader, Hilary Frye, is one tough mama. She’ll get those kiddos out there unless it is truly dangerous. The center of Gloucester Harbor where we practice does provide somewhat of a wind block from that northwesterly and the equally squirrelly southeasterly. The high hills of East Gloucester and the buildings of the downtown city can reduce a 20-mph breeze to around 15 mph and cut down the harbor waves substantially. SailGHS has been able to use this windy liability as an asset this year, as our kids have been able to practice early and often in conditions that don’t allow other teams to do so.
SailGHS begins in mid-March, while some teams didn’t get going for almost three weeks after. That can make a huge difference, and in 2022, it did.
Our small-but-enthusiastic group made it their holy grail this year to take on the extra wind and the league giants and work their way into a 9-0 record in Mass Bay League competition. They were so committed, this small group of competitors with big hearts, our 12-person team was able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 36- and 48-kid teams from Division 1.
Gloucester High School is Division 2 but three of our wins were against Division 1 teams, a huge achievement.
The good news is the bad news, though, as the top team in Division 2 gets kicked into Division 1 next year.
The lowest-ranking team from above will be relegated down to make room. Sigh. Careful for what you ask for, you may get it.
But this is the year to bellow hoorah. Except that we are frozen in time. Due to uneven schedules and late starts of Division 2 South to get their playoff going, our competitor in the finals has not been determined and the likely winner cannot schedule it until the middle or end of this week. So we have to sit and wait for the contest. We’ll have had to cool our jets for a week to 10 days before we get our shot. We’re all practiced up with no one to battle. We’ll try and use the time for extra practice and hope it makes a difference.
Standouts this year were the whole team — each in their own way. Harvard-bound team Captain Olivia Hogan-Lopez has been cited by this coach as the most valuable player the program has ever had in all these seasons. She reinvented the way we all looked at team racing, myself included, converting our effort from speed racing to smart racing. Olivia is very sly out on that course and, along with sophomore AJ Lewis, they twisted up the plans of their rivals, causing nothing but trouble and dictating the conduct of the race, using the rules and exquisite timing. It was a joy to watch them. The two were so good at using misdirection and strategy to confuse the other teams, forcing errors, and passing their teammates up through the pecking order. They and younger brother Ryan Lewis and younger sister Alyscia Hogan-Lopez showed me repeatedly that you don’t have to have a first-place boat finish to win team races, you just need the lowest total team score. Any combo, like 2,3,4 or even 2,3,5, as long as it is under 10 total is a winner. 11 or over is not.
Also wanted to give a huge shout-out to Gloucester police Officer Jeremiah Nicastro who put us on the electronic sign-board along Stacy Boulevard for being Division 2 League champs. The kids were so tickled. and anyone who reads this column would know how jazzed I was to see the “Use Your Blinka” as the alternating sign, spreading safety in the community.
So while we wait for the final denouement to see who is Division 2 state champs, let us celebrate how tight this small group has become as friends. They talk and laugh and gush and gossip and play air guitar and root for each other like no tomorrow. It is such a joy for Hilary and I to see this friendship bond which will last a lifetime. There is nothing like that reward a coach can have. So thanks, you kids, for showing us the way and working so hard. They can’t do it without us — we can’t do it without them. What a year.

BMW is officially celebrating the 50 Year anniversary of BMW M in 2022. This compels one to look back at one of the most iconic BMWs to have ever been graced by the M division – the M3. From a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine to the twin-turbo six cylinder and beyond, the M3 has always promised a balance between handling and straight-line performance. In separate generations proving not only to be the most successful touring car in history, but the best-selling M product of all time, the M3 has come a long way since its humble origins in 1986.
And if you’ve never driven an M3, you might be wondering if the hype is really to be believed. After all – the E30 M3 makes due with around 200 horsepower, which isn’t exactly daunting in todays market of readily available 300 horsepower hatchbacks. Even the mighty V8-powered M3 only launches from 0-60 in around four and a half seconds. Drag strip hero Teslas aren’t exactly losing sleep.
Now, when it comes to the M3, it’s my learned opinion that there’s a lot more to it than looking at the numbers. But even if you’re only in for the bench racing, the G80 M3 – with xDrive testing under 3 second 0-60 times – will surely quench your thirst. To the point: there’s an M3 for everyone, and today we’ll look at which one might be the best for you.
E30 M3
Introduced in 1986, the E30 M3 currently represents one of the worst values possible in terms of by-the-numbers performance. 0-60 takes half of the average male life expectancy and the four-cylinder S14 engine is good to generate 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque, which barely even registers in today’s horsepower wars. What does register is the car’s sub-3000 pound weigh in and 7250 rpm redline. Special editions – now importable to the US – do a little bit more, with top trim (and top price) Sport Evolution models providing a glorious 235 horsepower.
Though the E30 M3 is tempting as a momentum car, prices have skyrocketed and make good examples a bit hard to justify. Anything under 100,000 miles will command a price somewhere around double its original $34,000 MSRP. If you’re looking for something reasonable – the E30 M3 simply isn’t it.
Cost to repair can be high, miles are expensive (i.e., every thousand miles put on the car will depreciate it measurably), and the car simply isn’t very fast. Its charm lies in not only its unassuming and now iconic looks, but its confidence-inspiring dynamics that allow it to be driven constantly at 9/10ths, wherever you are. The E30 M3 remains the kingpin of high dollar M3s – commanding up to a quarter-million dollars – and is worth ever penny, as long as you can afford to spend it.
E36 M3
Certainly the wildcard in this article, the E36 M3 came to North America in 1995 with a neutered version of the RoW (rest-of-world, read: outside of North America) S50 engine. Good for 240 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, it’s a questionable value proposition over the 328i, which offers similar weight balance and just thirty horsepower less.
But it does offer a much different driving experience – with different suspension and brakes, power delivery and a differential, interior, and other small tweaks, the M3 rapidly sets itself apart from the non-M brethren. And RoW M3s make it even more confusing – offering up goodies like individual throttle bodies and up to 321 horsepower, but real-world performance that doesn’t wildly differ from the North America cars.
On paper, a RoW E36 M3 strikes the perfect balance of amazing power and weight balance, uniqueness, general reliability, and price. But in reality, parts can be very expensive, real-world performance isn’t drastically different, and I’m never quite convinced it does anything better than its successor, the E46 M3.
But it needs to be said – the ZF five-speed manual is a drastically better shift feel than the Getrag in the E46. And the E36 weighs just a little bit less. And the interior is a little bit more Spartan, and either engine – North America or RoW – is just a bit more stalwart than the E46’s S54. Thus; the E36 M3 is the perfect M3 for the person that wants most the drama of the E46 M3, but half the headache – which for some, will be plenty.
E46 M3
The E46 M3 is what most automotive literati would refer to as an “icon”. It’s a cliché, but it’s in character with the rest of the recycled praise that the chassis receives. The fantastic S54 inline-six is an aural experience unrivaled by any other M3 – except for maybe one – and the car revs freely to a nearly 8000 rpm redline. It only came in coupe or convertible form and shared very few parts with the non-M 3 Series – making it feel a lot more special. Tack on the optional “Competition Package” for goodies like higher-performing brakes, wider wheels, special traction control modes, and more.
But with every rose-colored sprint to red line comes a whole lot of thorns. The E46 M3 is an insanely enjoyable driving experience when it’s functioning correctly. But generally, that will take a lot of time, money, and mechanical know-how to fully enjoy. It’s my opinion that if you can’t afford a new BMW, you probably can’t afford to maintain an E46 M3, due to the scope and range of issues the car can experience.
Especially when coupled with the “F1 inspired” SMG automated manual gearbox. Thus, the E46 M3 is my recommendation for someone who really wants to enjoy the car that solidified the M3 as an “Ultimate Driving Machine” – and has the time, money, and/or experience to back it up. It’s easily the most balanced and arguably the most rewarding to drive M3. But, it isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s going to break, a lot. And from a stoplight, you’re still getting smoked by grams in her TRD Pro Camry. If you aren’t concerned by any of that – the E46 M3 is probably for you.
E90/F92/E93 M3
The E90, E92, and E93 M3 introduced a mighty V8 engine to the M3 lineup. They’re the only ones that get it, and while the “race-inspired” pedigree is often used as marketing speak for “the race team looked at it once”, the S65 really walks the walk. The 4.0 liter V8 weighs under 500 pounds – notably, about 30 pounds lighter than the preceding S54, with two less cylinders. And it was made in the Landshut foundry – the same manufacturing facility responsible for the BMW Sauber Formula 1 motors.
Don’t forget it revs to another planet, with an operatic crescendo to 8300 rpm and a peak horsepower of 414. That’s not bad, but the E9X M3s get even better. Think, a glimpse into the future. Features like a carbon roof, modern navigation systems, a competent automatic transmission, and electronic damping all make widespread appearances for the first time on an M3.
Though not without its flaws, the E9X M3s do a great job of bridging the gap between the sterile-feeling later generations of the M3, and the slow-but-engaging feel of the older cars. The E9X M3 is perfect as someone’s “second” BMW – i.e., you’re familiar and prepared with maintaining a German driving machine, and ready to get your hands dirty and wallet empty.
It’s a hugely rewarding car to drive – but it weighs a bit more than the E46 and drives a bit larger. The E9X also works as a decent daily, especially when left stock – just be careful with maintenance. Plus, a model with no navigation and DCT offers up one of the most exuberant driving experiences ever offered. It’s not a compromise – it’s a Swiss army knife with a banshee-scream V8.
F80/F82/F83 M3 and M4
After four generations and nearly three decades of naturally-aspirated M power, the F80 M3 debuted with its twin-turbocharged S55 engine. And it made a lot of people mad – heck, still does. But it’s tough to fight the numbers, with 444 horsepower in Competition Package guise on tap, and a wholly irresponsible 406 pound-feet of torque available from just 1850 rpm. The result? The F80 M3 and F82/83 M4 Coupe and Convertible could do burnouts and induce oversteer like no M3 preceding it, occasionally to the chagrin of the 0-60 bench racing crowd.
Change is everywhere in the F80 and its platform mates. There’s no more hydraulic steering; there’s no option that eliminates the big screen in the center console, and you’ve got adjustable drive modes on the fly, controlling everything from throttle response to suspension stiffness. Making it even more of an outsider in the M3 world is that it hardly ever breaks; aside from various gaskets, there isn’t a whole lot that commonly fails on these cars, even many years later.
Thus, the Jekyll and Hyde F80 and friends are the perfect choice for someone who just wants a great performing car. The ever-present screen distracts from the driving experience a bit, but the convenience pays off in the daily drive. And Hyde is right around the corner – ready to launch into a burnout at literally any point. It’s also a fantastic car for someone who wants to be sideways more often than not. It also makes a great one car solution – especially in four door M3 guise, being exciting enough to take on purposeless weekend drives but practical enough to cart your friends to the pub and back.
G80/G82/G83 M3 and M4
The G80 M3, and G82 G83 M4 coupe and convertible, are finally here. And unfortunately, I just don’t have a lot to say – they offer much of the same advantages as their predecessors. Finally receiving an available xDrive AWD system makes this car the fastest around town, and the grippiest in the corners, of any M3. For performance seekers and raw number crunchers, there is no substitute – the newest is best.
And like every other M3 and M4 before it, there’s an audible group screaming at the top of their lungs to anyone that will listen that the feel is gone. The flame has been extinguished, and BMW M has yet again lost their way for the 50th consecutive year. But the numbers don’t like – on paper, the G8X is the best performing M3 and M4 that has ever been produced. And if that’s the kind of statement that you want to be associated with, the G8X cars are the ones you should own. In fairness, it’s also a fair guess that they’ll be pretty reliable, as so much of the engine is based on knowledge gleaned from the S55 development cycle.
Conclusion
Hopefully, you learned a little bit about an M3 or two today. And if you’re considering buying one, hopefully this guide gave you a good bit of insight as to what each car does best, and what it may represent to other enthusiasts. That being said – the best way to find out is to drive, and I encourage you to drive as many as you can before settling on one.
