Relatives worry, mourn in wake of elementary school shooting
(AP) - Relatives turned to social media and waited in a desperate attempt to find their missing children as the death toll in a gruesome school shooting at a Texas elementary school rose to at least 19 students. Authorities said the gunman also killed two adults.
Adolfo Cruz, a 69-year-old air conditioning repairman, was still outside Robb Elementary School in the town of Uvalde Tuesday night as the sun set, waiting for word on his 10-year-old great-granddaughter, Elijah Cruz Torres, whose whereabouts remained unknown to family.
Cruz drove to the scene after receiving a tearful and terrifying call from his daughter shortly after the first reports that an 18-year-old gunman had opened fire. While he waited outside the school Tuesday night, his family was at the hospital and civic center waiting for any potential word on her condition.
Çruz called the waiting the heaviest moment of his life.
“I hope she is alive,” Cruz said. “They are waiting for an update.”
“It’s a shock for me. I also feel for all the other families. This is a small community. Uvalde has always been real friendly. People are real friendly,” Cruz said.
WARNING: Videos used may contain graphic content.
On social media, pictures of smiling children were posted, their families begging for information. Classes were winding down for the year and each school day had a theme. Tuesday’s was Footloose and Fancy. Students were supposed to wear a nice outfit with fun or fancy shoes.
By nightfall, names of those killed during the attack were beginning to emerge. Fourth-grade teacher Eva Mireles was remembered as a loving mother and wife.
“She was adventurous. I would definitely say those wonderful things about her. She is definitely going to be very missed,” said 44-year-old relative Amber Ybarra, of San Antonio.
Ybarra was preparing to give blood for the wounded and was pondering how no one was able to spot possible problems in the shooter in time to stop him.
“To me, it’s more about raising mental health awareness,” said Ybarra, a wellness coach who attended the elementary school where the shooting happened. “Someone could possibly have seen a dramatic change before something like this happened.”
Hillcrest Memorial Funeral Home, which is located across the street from Robb Elementary School, said in a Facebook post on Tuesday evening that it would be assisting families of the shooting victims with no cost for funerals.

It’s been an odd night at American Airlines Center.
Midway through the third quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Warriors and Dallas Mavericks, Draymond Green toed the charity stripe for a pair of free throws.
Green flicked up his first attempt. It bounced several times on the rim and against all odds, settled on the back of the iron.
Everyone on the court looked in bewilderment at what happened. Green smiled through the miss and shared a laugh with Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić.

New air force HQ covers space, cyber

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has upgraded its Directorate of Air Operation Control (DAOC) to a new headquarters for air operations with an expanded scope of authority to cover operations in space and cyberspace, an RTAF spokesman said.
The restructuring was endorsed by the Defence Council on Monday, said AVM Prapas Sonjaidee.
Given the move comes just as the air force is attempting to procure new F-35 fighter jets from the United States, it is seen as being related, said an informed source.
The air force has been preparing to upgrade the DAOC into a multi-domain organisation since April 1, starting with rearranging and merging its working groups and transferring staff accordingly so as not to over-stress its manpower budget, said AVM Prapas.
The restructuring will also facilitate operations of fifth-generation aircraft such as the new F-35s and benefit the rest of the armed forces in their future responses to Ministry of Defence directives, he added.
In his capacity as defence minister, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on May 10 agreed in principle to the air force's proposal to amend a royal decree to allow for the restructuring, said AVM Prapas.

Amanda Gorman, the 24-year-old US poet who rose to fame for her performance at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration, has written a poem as the nation mourns the killing of 19 children in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas.
An 18-year-old man opened fire at Robb elementary school in Uvalde on Tuesday, killing at least 19 students and two adults. The suspect, named by Texas governor Greg Abbott as Salvador Romas, shot his grandmother at her home, then fled the scene by car and wrecked it outside the elementary school, where he ran in and began shooting.
Gorman, whose poem The Hill We Climb became a bestseller after her reading at Biden’s inauguration in 2021, shared the short poem on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon:
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
In a series of tweets, Gorman condemned the shooting and inaction around gun safety.
“It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity,” she wrote.
“The truth is, one nation under guns.
“What might we be if only we tried. What might we become if only we’d listen.”
Gorman also called on her followers on Instagram to take action and donate to the gun safety nonprofit Everytown. “Americans — you know enough is enough. If you do anything today, let it not be just to grieve, but to act,” she wrote.
Details of the attack are continuing to emerge, with one adult victim confirmed as fourth-grade teacher Eva Mireles.
The US senator Chris Murphy, who came to Congress representing the families of children killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook, begged his colleagues to pass legislation addressing gun violence.
“What are we doing?” Murphy said. “I’m here on this floor to beg, to literally get down on my hands and knees to beg my colleagues. Find a path forward here. Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely.”
Biden addressed the nation on Tuesday night, calling for “common sense” gun laws. “It’s time to turn this pain into action,” he said.
The former president Barack Obama said that “it’s long past time for action” on gun violence in the US. He said he and his wife Michelle “grieve with the families in Uvalde, who are experiencing pain no one should have to bear”.
“We’re also angry for them. Nearly ten years after Sandy Hook – and ten days after Buffalo – our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that have shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies,” he said. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/25/amanda-gorman-decries-us-inaction-on-gun-violence-in-poem-after-texas-school-shooting | 2022-05-25T05:02:20Z | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/25/amanda-gorman-decries-us-inaction-on-gun-violence-in-poem-after-texas-school-shooting | false | 1 |
Fiddlers’ Crawl offers locals and tourists a chance to go pub crawling in New Delhi
The Fiddlers’ Crawl is recreating the Western concept of a pub crawl with three unique restaurants in New Delhi’s posh Mehrauli — Miso Sexy, Bougie, and Diablo
If you’ve watched Gossip Girl, chances are you remember the grand Lost Weekend celebrations in season 1 hosted by Chuck Bass. One of the phases of the celebrations, meant as a goodbye to the high school days of Manhattan’s Upper East siders, included a pub crawl. “Five boroughs, and 50 pubs” in a single night. What a maddening idea, we thought, yet a few weeks back, we went on one such crawl ourselves. Not 50, but three restaurants/pubs in the posh part of Mehrauli, offering a great view of the Qutub Minar in Delhi.
Conceived by restaurateur Priyank Sukhija, the Fiddlers’ Crawl (named after his F&B company First Fiddle Restaurants) takes inspiration from the Western concept, allowing locals and tourists to enjoy the culinary culture of the capital, and in the process meet new people.
The idea first struck Sukhija after he participated in one such crawl on a trip to Barcelona. It occurred to him that a crawl back home would not just help showcase his properties, but also help build a community around gastronomy—a social construct that had suffered a setback during the last two years. The pilot crawl in Mehrauli involves three restaurants—Miso Sexy, Bougie and Diablo. “I’ve been to crawls in Barcelona and London and their biggest attraction is to meet new people,” says Sukhija.
In Mehrauli, his restaurants are in a unique position—three bars at walking distance. “Qutub is a touristy place with an influx of all kinds of people. Those among them who want to explore interesting food, meet fun people and get a good vibe of the city, will book us.”
While it is difficult to trace down the exact event that led to the emergence of pub crawl as a phenomenon globally, the Oxford English Dictionary has some ideas, according to a British food blog, ‘Boak and Bailey.’
It notes how the earliest mention of a crawl in the dictionary dates back to 1877 when the York Herald speaks of women on ‘gin crawls’, followed by a 1902 mention in the Daily Chronicle of “the cockney beer crawl”, and another one in the 1915 autobiography of the British author Thomas Burke titled Nights in Town.
The concept is pretty self-explanatory though—you move from one restaurant to another as a group, surveying the food and drinks in these places. You socialise, and in the process, discover the gastronomical scene of the town/city. It is a cultural event, where you eat and drink and let your hair down. You, quite literally, crawl back after having the time of your life.
The Fiddler’s Crawl promises nothing less. You begin with sampling the edgy South East Asian platter comprising Ya Sai Asparagus Sushi, Taro Wu Gok dim sums, Tuna Tataki, and more, at Miso Sexy on the second floor of the chic Ambawatta One complex. Then you walk across the corridor to relish European canapes at the classy and elegant Bougie, where you pig out on Caviar Bruschetta, Mushroom Croquettes, Nordic Salmon on Toast, and Lamb Sliders. A live band welcomes you with a great toe-tapping pop playlist. There is also an impressively curated mocktail/cocktail menu with drinks such as Melon and Kaffir Highball and Sweet Lime Gimlet (at Miso Sexy), and Mango and Cinnamon Margaritha and Pin o Apple (at Bougie).
Once you’ve had your fill, you will have a golf cart waiting for you on the ground floor to take you to Diablo. Here, you transition quickly from casual dining to a party. With substantial outdoor space, the restaurant allows the crawlers to dance, while they munch on Turkish and Lebanese delights like Katafi Greek Yoghurt, Chicken Koobideh, and falafels. The drinks menu experiments with molecular gastronomy. Try the Devil’s Garden G&T, and Prince of Darkness!
While the food, the drinks, and the overall experience are on point, one thing that doesn’t seem to work is the order of restaurants in which the crawl that begins sometime in the afternoon, proceeds. Because Miso Sexy and Bougie offer such gorgeous views of the Qutub Minar, that only get better with the downing sun, either of these eateries, instead of Diablo, should have been the final destination.
Sukhija agrees and adds that the crawl, which is likely to begin sometime in August and will be a Sunday feature, might see a change in the order of things. “We are going to change that. We will start it with Diablo and end at Miso Sexy, because from there you not only see the Qutub Minar but also get views of Sanjay Van,” he says.
The experience has been priced at `3,500 per person, the tickets for which, will be available online (Platform yet to be decided). “The idea is not to make a lot of money but to give an experience,” Sukhija says. | https://www.indulgexpress.com/life-style/foods/2022/may/23/fiddlers-crawl-offers-locals-andtourists-a-chance-to-go-pub-crawling-in-new-delhi-40975.html | 2022-05-25T05:03:52Z | https://www.indulgexpress.com/life-style/foods/2022/may/23/fiddlers-crawl-offers-locals-andtourists-a-chance-to-go-pub-crawling-in-new-delhi-40975.html | true | 2 |
Notorious Vietnamese hacker turns government cyber agent
Issued on:
Ho Chi Minh City (AFP) – At the height of his career, Vietnamese hacker Ngo Minh Hieu made a fortune stealing the personal data of hundreds of millions of Americans.
Now he has been recruited by his own authoritarian government to hunt, he says, the kind of cyber criminal he once used to be.
After serving seven years in US prisons for stealing some 200 million Americans' personal details, Hieu was sent back to Vietnam, which imposes some of the world's strictest curbs on online freedom.
Hieu says he has since turned his back on his criminal past.
"I fell to the bottom, now I am trying to climb up again," the 32-year-old told AFP.
"Though I don't earn much now, I have peace instead."
His transformation, however, is complicated.
Hieu says his new job involves educating Vietnamese citizens about the dangers of the same sort of hacking he perpetrated.
But he is also working on cybersecurity for the government of a one-party state that cracks down ruthlessly on dissent, harassing and arresting people for posting critical opinions online.
'More, more, more'
Nicknamed HieuPC when he was 12, Hieu was fascinated by computers as soon as he first laid hands on one.
But he was soon racking up $1,000 fines for stealing others' internet connections for his own personal use.
He began hacking into foreign bank accounts, netting up to $600 a day in high school then using the money to study cybersecurity in New Zealand.
Hieu was forced to return home in 2010 after hacking his university and selling students' personal information, and his illegal activities spiralled.
In his 20s, he made $100,000 a month hacking and selling some 200 million US social security numbers.
"I was on the top of success. I was over-proud of myself. I wanted more villas, more apartments, more luxurious cars," Hieu said.
Then, in February 2013, he was lured to the United States in a sting operation and promptly arrested on landing.
- 'Fallen to the bottom' -
"I don't know of any other cybercriminal who has caused more material financial harm to more Americans than Ngo," Secret Service agent Matt O'Neill, who executed the plan to catch Hieu, told KrebsOnSecurity.com, a blog dedicated to cybersecurity.
Hieu was initially given a sentence of 45 years, later reduced to 13.
"I had fallen to the bottom, losing everything in my life," Hieu said. "I thought of hanging myself."
But he struggled through and was released in 2019, returning to Vietnam in 2020.
The former millionaire now lives in an average apartment in commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City and works at the state-owned National Cyber Security Centre.
"We're focused on hunting criminals and thwarting cyberattacks," he said, declining to comment on Vietnam's increasingly repressive approach to online censorship.
A new cybersecurity law came into effect in 2019 that Amnesty International has warned grants the government "sweeping powers to limit online freedom" and target those who post opinions it dislikes.
The UN Human Rights Council in 2019 criticised the law for imposing "severe restrictions on freedom of expression and opinion".
Activists and bloggers have been arrested, with some even jailed on charges of spreading propaganda against the state, and Amnesty warned last year that government-linked hackers were targeting rights activists.
Hieu insists that his work as a "threat hunter" is not political but focused on criminal hackers, tracking those who are trying to steal Vietnamese people's data.
- 'Hacking is like a knife' -
Roughly 70 percent of Vietnam's 98 million people use the internet, and cyber threats are rife.
A report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies quoted Microsoft data from 2020 showing Vietnam had the highest rate of ransomware attacks in the Asia-Pacific region.
Hieu travels the country speaking at schools and universities about the importance of cybersecurity, as well as the consequences of data being stolen.
While the government is pushing public awareness, Hieu said many Vietnamese had little understanding of cybercrime.
"Now I still hack, but I hack fraudulent webpages or try to understand data that blackhat hackers are trading online to trace them and find out who they are," he said.
"Hacking is like a knife, which you may give to someone who wants to use it on something -- bad or good."

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania's Republican primary for an open U.S. Senate seat is 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.
A recount would mean that the outcome of the race might not be known until June 8, the deadline for counties to report their results to the state.
Oz, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, led McCormick by 1,079 votes, or 0.08 percentage points, out of 1,340,248 ballots counted as of 5 p.m. Friday. The race is close enough to trigger Pennsylvania's automatic recount law, with the separation between the candidates inside the law's 0.5% margin. The Associated Press will not declare a winner in the race until the likely recount is complete.
Both campaigns have hired Washington-based lawyers to lead their recount efforts, and both have hired Philadelphia-based campaign strategists who helped lead the operation to observe vote-counting on Election Day for Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2020.
The two campaigns already had dozens of lawyers and volunteers fanned out around the presidential battleground state as election workers and election boards toiled through the remaining ballots.
The big field of Republican candidates and their super PACs reported spending more than $70 million during the primary campaign. The winner will face Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in November's midterm elections in what Democrats see as their best opportunity to pick up a seat in the closely divided Senate.
Fetterman won the Democratic nomination while in the hospital recovering from a stroke four days before the election. The incumbent, Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, is retiring after serving two terms.
Trump's clout is again on the line, as he looked for a third straight win in Republican Senate primaries after "Hillbilly Elegy" author JD Vance prevailed in Ohio earlier this month and U.S. Rep. Ted Budd easily scored a victory in North Carolina on Tuesday.
County election boards began meeting Friday to sort out problematic or provisional ballots, even as election workers processed the last of the mail-in ballots and election-day ballot tallies from precincts.
The state's 67 counties have until Tuesday's deadline in state law to certify their results to the state. Then the state's top election official has until next Thursday to issue a recount order, which is mandatory — unless the losing candidate asks in writing that it not be carried out.
Oz's campaign manager declined to comment Friday evening. McCormick's campaign said it has no plans to decline a recount.
Counties have until three weeks after the election — June 7 — to finish the recount and another day to report results to the state.
The initial result could change: A recount of a statewide judicial race last November ended up padding the winner's margin by more than 5,500 votes in a race where more than 2 million ballots were cast.
Before that, there could be a flurry of lawsuits contesting the decisions of certain counties on whether to count ballots that may be difficult to read or bear some kind of irregularity.
As of yet, neither campaign has gone to court, and both candidates have expressed confidence in victory.
Oz and McCormick dominated the seven-person GOP field, blanketing the state's TV screens with political ads for months and spending millions of their own money, before conservative activist Kathy Barnette surged in the campaign's final days.
The fiery, hard line pro-Trump alternative blistered both Oz and McCormick as "globalists," pro-Trump pretenders, carpetbaggers and too wealthy to help regular people. She finished a distant third.
Oz, who is best known as the host of daytime TV's "The Dr. Oz Show," had to overcome misgivings among hardline Trump backers about his conservative credentials. Rivals also charged that his dual citizenship with Turkey would compromise his loyalties to the United States. If elected, Oz would be the nation's first Muslim senator.
McCormick was virtually unknown four months ago and emphasized his credentials as a hometown success story.
He not only had to overcome Trump's endorsement of Oz, but Trump also attacked McCormick viciously and repeatedly in the final two weeks of the race, calling him a Wall Street liberal, a sellout to China and the candidate of "special interests and globalists and the Washington establishment."

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Change came to Chicago Bears in leadership when Matt Eberflus took over as coach.
Now players are dealing with this change personally by moving positions or even changing weight to fit plans for a new regime during organized team activities.
Most of the change has come on the defensive side, where they've not only moved to a 4-3 scheme after being in a 3-4 for seven years. They've also changed six starters on defense. For some players, change has been easier than for others.
"Apparently it's a lot of new faces," linebacker Nick Morrow said. "So I guess we're all figuring it out together. But it's been good."
Morrow is one of those changes.
The Bears signed the former Raiders linebacker as a free agent and now he's calling the defensive signals and playing the traditional Chicago position of middle linebacker in 4-3, where Hall of Famers Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus and Bill George once played.
It's a defensive style he has played during past seasons. The Bears shifted Roquan Smith from inside in the old 3-4 to playing weakside linebacker in a 4-3.
"It's been cool," Morrow said. "One, he's (Smith) fast. Then, two, his pre-snap reads are really good, so being able to anticipate pre-snap is helpful.
"Then, he always communicates to me to kinda get me going, so it's been helpful."
Coaches and teammates have been impressed with rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker, who have seen plenty of work at OTAs with the starters.
"Shoot, Kyler's first day on the job he had two picks and Brisker punched the ball out as well, and he punched the ball out again yesterday," Morrow said. "They do a good job of finding the football, punching it out, getting it out.
"They're on the game plan, they're in the right spots. And they'll just get better, man. It's early. Still gotta get some technique and all that stuff and that'll come. It's just part of being a rookie and learning the system. But early on they are getting the ball out so that's always a plus."
The Bears had only eight interceptions last season, the fewest they've had in a 16- or 17-game schedule. The goal of their change to a 4-3 is to cause more turnovers, and as Eberflus' units finished in the top 10 in takeaways all four of his years as the Colts defensive coordinator.
"Mentally, what you assess this time of year — can the guy pick it up?," Eberflus said. "Is he fast mentally? Can he think on his feet? Is he able to adjust and make the adjustments on the fly? That's No. 1.
"And then, No. 2, physically, what you can see is the athletic ability. I like to see athletes we're acquiring here, really good athletes that can run that have speed. Can they operate and be quick and be quick and not in a hurry as (UCLA basketball) coach (John) Wooden would say."
The changing style of defense is easier to apply when players are available for the voluntary spring workouts, but veteran defensive ends Robert Quinn or Al-Quadin Muhammad haven't attended any OTA or the earlier voluntary minicamp.
"As the process goes, this is why it's so important for everybody to be here, because you form a team by being together and understanding how we operate," Eberflus said.
Without those two, the Bears have been giving rookie defensive end Dominique Robinson an extensive look with the starters.
"To me, it's hard to assess a couple things this time of year," Eberflus said. "Pass rush is hard to assess because it's a little bit easier for the rushers to get around because there's no pads on, but once you put the pads on and those tackles can really block em, I think that's when you really assess what it is and the same thing in the running game."
Another player who missed the earlier minicamp was cornerback Jaylon Johnson, but he has been available at OTAs. However, the starting Bears right cornerback for the past two seasons was playing Tuesday with the backup defense while Gordon played with starters on the right side.
"I wouldn't read into that right now," Eberflus said. "He's just getting back into action right now.
"So we're just seeing where he is with his conditioning and those types of things. But 1s and 2s, we're moving all guys around." | https://www.thedailycitizen.com/sports/changes-under-new-coach-matt-eberflus-hit-bears-defense/article_714f5d55-ff9f-56e7-8786-940f00b45881.html | 2022-05-25T05:12:24Z | https://www.thedailycitizen.com/sports/changes-under-new-coach-matt-eberflus-hit-bears-defense/article_714f5d55-ff9f-56e7-8786-940f00b45881.html | false | 18 |
Missing persons posters and adverts will now say “help find” instead of “missing”' in a bid to improve their effectiveness.
The charity Missing People has partnered with scientists who have studied human behaviour to learn the best techniques to capture someone’s attention and engage the public.
Less information will be on the posters in a streamlined approach which scientists say is more effective.
Smiling images of missing individuals are also set to be a priority, as data show people are more likely to engage with a plea if the person being sought appears happy.
For digital adverts, AI technology is also being used to bring the faces of the people to life to help trigger public interest.
The new posters, which feature details of current missing people, will appear on billboards across London on Wednesday to mark Missing Children’s Day and the new format will be used by the charity for all posters moving forward.
They also include a QR code to encourage passers-by to tap into social media and spread the word among their networks and background maps of where the person was last seen.
This is because people local to the area are more likely to respond to the call to action.
Some 70,000 children and young people are reported missing every year in the UK, and many more go unreported, according to Missing People.
Claire Croucher is the mother of Leah Croucher, who is one of the missing people to feature on the new posters.
She was 19 when she went missing from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, on February 15, 2019.
Ms Croucher said: “One of the many challenges as a parent of a missing person is trying to communicate who you’ve lost.
“We feel that if the public were to understand who our daughter is, they are more likely to remember seeing or meeting her.
“Seeing Leah’s face move and smile on these amazing new posters is wonderful and gives us renewed hope that Leah - and other missing people like her - will be reunited with their families.”
The other two children featured on the posters are Finn Layland-Stratfield and Alexander Sloley.
Finn was 17 when he went missing from Tintagel, Cornwall on July 8, 2017, while Alexander has been missing from Islington, London, since August 2, 2008, when he was just 16.
Behavioural science consultant Anita Braga, who led the research, said: “Very often people do want to act, but they feel like they don't have the means to, they feel a bit overwhelmed by the situation maybe, and so by telling them ‘help us find’ rather than ‘missing’.
“Giving a clear call to action is a way to make them feel empowered and also feel empathy towards the person they're looking for.
“And then the second thing is the image - we really worked on improving the image clarity and to give the feeling that there is actually a person behind that picture.” | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/05/25/missing-replaced-help-find-missing-person-posters-bid-capture/ | 2022-05-25T05:13:11Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/05/25/missing-replaced-help-find-missing-person-posters-bid-capture/ | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Malika Sanders-Fortier advances to primary runoff election for governor in Alabama. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4549975 | 2022-05-25T05:23:42Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4549975 | true | null |
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr easily survived a primary challenge on Tuesday night, an outcome that dealt a blow to the “big lie” that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
The New York Times and multiple Georgia news outlets called the race for Carr, who had won nearly 75% of the vote as of 9 p.m. Tuesday night.
Trump endorsed Atlanta businessman and attorney John Gordon in the race, one of three major statewide contests in which Trump backed a primary opponent against an incumbent Georgia Republican.
Gordon focused his campaign almost exclusively on the conspiracy theory that Georgia’s election was illegitimate, and that it had been stolen from Trump via widespread fraud and other irregularities.
Carr stood behind Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s (R) decision to certify the results of the 2020 election, which President Joe Biden won. Investigations into Georgia’s vote found no evidence of fraud or irregularities, including those alleged in a lawsuit that Gordon served as an attorney on.
Gordon and a super PAC supporting him alleged in ads that Chris Carr “wrecks fair elections” in Georgia, and he campaigned across the state by promising voters that as attorney general he would launch his own investigation into the 2020 results.
Gordon asserted in an interview with HuffPost that Georgia’s 2020 election amounted to “a coup d’état” against Trump, and suggested that Carr had acted somewhere between incompetently and corruptly by refusing to root out the fraud Gordon insisted took place. A judge dismissed the lawsuit Gordon was a part of last October and said that there was no credible evidence backing its main claims.
Carr, by contrast, maintained that Biden had legitimately won the election and focused his own campaign on his support for Trump’s immigration policies. Carr has sued the Biden administration over its efforts to roll back some of Trump’s most aggressive immigration moves.
Carr will face state Sen. Jen Jordan, an Atlanta Democrat who easily won her primary contest on Tuesday, in November’s election. Jordan held a commanding 78%-22% lead over fellow Democrat Christian Wise Smith with more than a third of estimated votes counted, and multiple outlets had declared her the winner.
Jordan has criticized Carr’s work as attorney general, including his defense of the election reform law passed by Georgia’s GOP-controlled legislature last year.
That law implements new voting restrictions, creates new crimes related to elections and has paved the way for Republicans to purge local election officials and take over county election boards in areas like Fulton County, the home of Atlanta and Georgia’s most populous county.
Carr has defended it against at least five lawsuits that allege it disproportionately impacts Black voters, disabled Georgians and other minority communities in ways that make it unconstitutional. The Department of Justice has also sued Georgia over the law, alleging that it unconstitutionally targets Black voters.
Carr told HuffPost in a statement last week that he had “stood up for election integrity,” the euphemism Republicans adopted after the 2020 race as they passed more than 30 bills restricting voting rights nationwide. And he said he was “vigorously defending” the election law, SB 202, from “false attacks” by Georgia Democrats and the Department of Justice.
After she unveiled a platform for voting rights protections in Atlanta last week, Jordan told HuffPost that she would use the attorney general’s office to bolster voting rights and prosecute those who seek to suppress the vote. She also said she would use her powers to protect abortion rights and access if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade later this year, as it is widely expected to do.
Jordan also gave Carr little credit for standing up to Trump’s efforts to stoke conspiracy theories and overturn the results of the Georgia election, saying he merely fulfilled the most basic requirement of his job.
“I’m not really in the business of giving people medals for doing the bare minimum and following the law,” Jordan said. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-carr-georgia-attorney-general-trump-primary_n_628bffdee4b0edd2d0199e96 | 2022-05-25T05:25:16Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-carr-georgia-attorney-general-trump-primary_n_628bffdee4b0edd2d0199e96 | false | 1 |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sonny Gray was fully aware of the solid start the Minnesota Twins needed from him, with injuries piling up on their pitching staff.
He delivered a gem, showing just why the Twins were willing to part with their most recent first-round draft pick to get him.
Gray struck out a season-high 10 over seven sharp innings, carrying the Twins past the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.
“He knew that this was something that we were all desiring right now from him, and it seemed to kind of fire him up and allow him to focus,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “You can see that at times being a lot to handle, when you know your team really needs you for something like that. I think he eats it up.”
Gray (2-1) allowed four hits and one walk in by far his best of six starts with his new team. The Twins, who are 23-8 since April 21, have won each of the last four games with Gray on the mound after he returned from a strained hamstring.
“I just feel like myself,” said Gray, acquired from Cincinnati in March for right-hander Chase Petty, a 19-year-old who was the 26th overall pick in the 2021 draft.
The Twins have surged out in front of the AL Central this season on the strength of their rotation depth, an improvement jump-started by the trade for Gray. They have eight pitchers currently on the injured list, and earlier this month they lost starter Chris Paddack for the year and more to Tommy John surgery.
“The fans have been great. Everyone in that clubhouse feels like brothers," Gray said. “Yeah, it’s feeling more and more like home.”
Gio Urshela had three hits and an RBI, and Carlos Correa hit a run-scoring double against Tigers rookie Beau Brieske (0-4), who remains winless in six career starts. Detroit dropped to 3-15 in its last 18 games at Target Field.
Max Kepler scored from first on Urshela's two-out single in the second inning, when third base coach Tommy Watkins opportunistically watched shortstop Javier Báez direct left fielder Willi Castro to send his relay throw to second base without looking at Kepler as he rounded third.
That's all Gray needed. He turned the game over to Tyler Duffey in the eighth, and Jhoan Duran worked the ninth for his fourth save.
"We didn't react to his spin. We didn't respond to the fastball. He had his way with us," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said, after lamenting the sixth-inning stranding of Jonathan Schoop after he reached second base with none out.
BIG HELP
Twins center fielder Byron Buxton made a vintage leaping catch as he fully extended following a long sprint to grab a line drive as he landed at the warning track to take an extra-base hit away from Jeimer Candelario in the fourth inning. Gray raised both arms to celebrate Buxton's snag.
“Plays like that are what can keep a starter in the game,” Gray said. “That’s just what he does, though. We’re so spoiled.”
FILLING IN
Brieske needed 90 pitches to finish four innings, with six hits and one walk allowed. The Tigers have five starting pitchers on the injured list — Tyler Alexander, Matt Manning, Casey Mize, Michael Pineda and Eduardo Rodriguez — and another one, Spencer Turnbull, who's been out since last year.
LOWER LEVERAGE
The Tigers have bumped right-hander Michael Fulmer back in the bullpen pecking order while he works through some struggles.
“I told him I’m not going to lose faith in him,” Hinch said before the game.
Fulmer struck out the side in the seventh. In his five previous appearances, he gave up eight hits, six runs and six walks over five innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Tigers: Manning (shoulder inflammation) was pulled with two outs in the second inning from his rehab start with Triple-A Toledo after 43 pitches. He gave up two hits and two walks.
UP NEXT
Tigers: Rony García (0-0, 2.57 ERA) is scheduled to be the team's 12th starting pitcher this season, to be followed Wednesday afternoon by several fellow relievers. García entered the picture when the Tigers decided to give Tarik Skubal an extra day to rest a bruised shin. With steady rain in the forecast, though, the bullpen game might not be necessary.
Twins: RHP Dylan Bundy (3-2, 5.14 ERA) is on track to make his seventh start of the season in his careful return from COVID-19. Bundy threw 54 pitches over three scoreless innings on May 17, his first outing after a 13-day layoff.

SBS dumps youth-focused current affairs show The Feed
By Karl Quinn
SBS is axing its youth-oriented current affairs program The Feed from its television schedule in response to dwindling audience figures.
The broadcaster revealed the decision to stop airing the show from June 28 to staff in its Sydney newsroom on Wednesday afternoon, but said it did not expect any redundancies as a result of the move.
Some segments of The Feed will continue to be made but will be distributed only online via SBS On Demand and on social media.
The production team will be split into two, with some working on the online-only content under The Feed brand, and others moving to the Framed documentary unit, which will produce longer-form content for both digital and broadcast channels.
The decision comes after declining viewership for the program following its move to SBS’ main channel in 2020.
This Tuesday, the show attracted an audience of just 65,000 people nationally – and only 49,000 in the five mainland capital cities – in its 10pm slot, making it the 163rd most-watched program on free-to-air TV on the day.
But even that figure is misleading, in the sense that it obscures the degree to which younger audiences are simply not watching linear television.
Of the 65,000 people who watched on Tuesday, just 17,000 were aged 25-54. In the 16-39 demographic, a mere 7000 tuned in.
The broadcaster insists, however, that The Feed continues to resonate with younger audiences outside of the linear broadcast schedule, particularly with its comedy sketches featuring Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst. Those would, it promised, continue to be produced, alongside other short-form video content and explainers.
Presenter Marc Fennell, who has been with the program since its inception in 2013, sought to put a positive spin on the move.
“If you look back over the life of the show it has constantly changed in format,” he said. “This is a big change, to be sure, but there are some essential components that won’t change.”
Among those components, he said, was the “unofficial mission” of the brand to “develop young, diverse, unique Australian voices in journalism and comedy.
“Today, I look out over the wider media landscape and see The Feed’s alumni pretty much everywhere.”
Since its launch nine years ago as a 15-minute segment on SBS2, The Feed has given opportunities to the likes of Andy Park (now the Drive presenter on ABC Radio National), Jan Fran (podcaster, columnist and serial guest across the TV networks), Mark Humphries (perhaps best know for his inspired mash-up segments on the ABC’s Insiders), Triple J presenter Michael Hing and The Project’s Patrick Abboud.
Fennell said the new iteration of The Feed “will still foster new voices”, while promising the Framed unit – to which he is moving – “will allow us to … really dive into stories far bigger and more intriguing than we could fit into a 30-minute program.
“Change happens,” he added. “But this time it’s for the best.”

Tottenham given transfer boost after club confirm £150m cash injection
Antonio Conte is set to get major backing in the transfer market after Tottenham’s majority shareholders ENIC Sports Inc agreed to pump £150 million ($185m) into the club.
The news comes just two days after Spurs secured a fourth-place finish in the Premier League to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Conte has previously indicated his desire to have funds to spend this summer and this announcement suggests he is going to get his wish.

- Iwobi, Boateng, Okoye & Gyasi: African stars who helped their teams avoid relegation in major European leagues
- Mbappe admits to Liverpool transfer talks before signing new contract at PSG
What did Tottenham say about the £150m cash injection?
In a statement Tottenham said the £150m would be raised via “the issue of convertible A Shares and accompanying warrants.”
It added the investment “represents permanent capital, with no ongoing interest cost to the club" and would provide them with “greater financial flexibility and the ability to further invest on and off the pitch.”
The north London side completed the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2019 and have also invested considerably in the club’s training ground in recent years.
“The delivery of a world-class home was always a key building block in driving diversified revenues to enable us to invest in the teams and support our ambitions to be consistently competing at the highest levels of European football,” said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
“Additional capital from ENIC will now enable further investment in the club at an important time.’’
Jonathan Turner, Tottenham’s independent non-executive director, added: “We are pleased to welcome this investment which demonstrates the unequivocal support and commitment of our majority shareholder, ENIC. It is a timely injection of funds to ensure we can continue to grow the club we all love and underlines the Board’s continued ambitions for success.”
The news is likely to be a huge boost for Conte, who was appointed Spurs boss in November with the club eighth in the Premier League.
He appeared to question his future after a defeat at Burnley in February but a run of eight wins from their final 11 games saw them pip rivals Arsenal to fourth place. | https://www.goal.com/en-tza/news/tottenham-given-transfer-boost-after-club-confirm-gbp150m/blt7c266f7471e8a9f5 | 2022-05-25T05:36:28Z | https://www.goal.com/en-tza/news/tottenham-given-transfer-boost-after-club-confirm-gbp150m/blt7c266f7471e8a9f5 | false | 12 |
All-party meet on Bihar caste census on Friday
In a move that will force the BJP to take a clear stand on the sensitive issue of caste census, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called an all-party meeting possibly on May 27.

PATNA: In a move that will force the BJP to take a clear stand on the sensitive issue of caste census, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called an all-party meeting possibly on May 27. Announcing the decision on Monday, Nitish said there is near-consensus on the date of the meeting though some parties are yet to confirm.
The announcement comes two weeks after he had a one-on-one meeting with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on the issue. In Bihar, caste remains the main factor for political groups to garner support of people in electoral politics but the BJP has adopted an ambivalent approach towards the proposed exercise.
While the BJP has made massive inroads into the OBC support base in Bihar, its strong support base has been the upper castes. A caste census could show a greater number of OBCs and a reduced population of upper castes, which strengthen the demand that the 50% reservation cap be lifted.
“It is all about OBCs, who have a sizable population in Bihar,” said a political analyst. BJP’s dilemma on the issue was clearly visible when senior party leader and deputy CM Tarkishore Prasad was evasive in his recently media interaction.
He said the party was deliberating the subject and once a decision was taken, it would be conveyed to reporters. The Bihar Assembly had on February 27, 2020 passed a resolution requesting the Centre to hold caste census. It had passed a similar resolution on February 18, 2019. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/may/24/all-party-meet-on-bihar-caste-census-on-friday-2457143.html | 2022-05-25T05:39:27Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/may/24/all-party-meet-on-bihar-caste-census-on-friday-2457143.html | false | 1 |

I have received an email from someone claiming to be my bank, warning me to be very wary of anyone claiming to be my bank.
Research by Saga Equity Release suggests one in seven over-50s are planning to give money to their children during their lifetime. The average amount these well-heeled folk are planning to hand over is £30,000. How can kids ensure they get a handout? The only tip I can offer is the same advice that applies to acquiring a strong heart and perfect eyesight. Choose your parents very carefully.
One joy of my job is the freedom to choose what to write about. Thus, I can ignore things that I do not understand or remotely care about. The Northern Ireland Protocol, the Wimbledon points system, economics “experts” and those two women in the libel court.
As inflation soars, one old line is worth repeating. Why did God create economists? To make weather forecasters look good.
The Daily Telegraph carried a photo of Her Majesty at the opening of the new Elizabeth rail line with the caption indicating: “The Queen, right.” This troubles me. Elizabeth II must be the most-recognised woman on this planet. Yet the Telegraph feels the need to identify her to its readers. Makes you wonder what the past 70 years have been about.
A celebrated Russian defence analyst claims the reason the Ukrainians are such good fighters is that, as Ukraine was once part of Russia, they are really Russians and therefore excellent soldiers. There are two flaws in this argument. Firstly, Ukraine is a real country. Secondly, as we have seen, Russians are not excellent soldiers but a thuggish bunch of rapists and war criminals whose tanks seem specifically designed to blow up. The reason Ukraine is doing so well is because in morale, motivation, training, logistics, equipment and raw courage, they are simply better than the Russians.
The Guardian published an explanation of the technical legal reasons why the Tory MP arrested on suspicion of rape had not been identified. It cheerfully overlooked the fact that, within hours of the story breaking, the MP had been repeatedly identified on the internet. By the second day, the only people who didn't know who he was were those who didn't want to know. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/voices/opinions/peter-rhodes/2022/05/25/rhodes-on-generous-parents-and-why-the-russians-are-struggling/ | 2022-05-25T05:44:25Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/voices/opinions/peter-rhodes/2022/05/25/rhodes-on-generous-parents-and-why-the-russians-are-struggling/ | true | 2 |
A woman suffered multiple injuries, including a broken nose, after coming off a ride in Turkey.
Melissa Hunter, from Southport, was on holiday for two weeks in the popular destination with her friend. On Saturday, May 21, the friends decided to go on a Waltzer-type ride which was behind their hotel.
But what was meant to be a fun ride turned into a nightmare, as the 35-year-old said she was flung off the attraction. Melissa said she wanted to share her story to warn others of the possible dangers of amusement rides abroad.

She said: "The only way I can describe is the seats are like the Waltzers which has a seat and a bar which goes down, they were like in a row behind each other in the circle. So the ride goes round and round and then tips on a slant, so you're kind of sideways.
"He's like laughing and we're laughing at first. Then he started turning it up so it going faster and faster. And because of the g-force or whatever, I am on the outside of the carriage and my friend is on the inside because she is smaller then me, she is sort of leaning into me.

"So we're going round and laughing then he stops so we think he's finished. Then he looks at us again and he turns it on backwards, so we're going backwards. Then he turns it up, so we're forward again and turns it right up and he's laughing.
"At this point I am screaming and I am saying to Terri 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe' and she is trying to drag herself back to her side of the carriage but she can't because he was going so fast."
Melissa said at this point she was "hanging" out the carriage and claims was shouting for the ride to stop. The 35-year-old claims she was thrown out off the ride and into a metal bar. She believes the attraction was going at about "40 to 50mph" at this point.
Melissa was unconscious after this and was "bleeding very badly". She said: "My friend said to me 'Mel you were on the floor in a pool of blood, I thought you were dead. I have never seen so much blood'. The blood was clotting."

The 35-year-old was taken to hospital where it was found she suffered a broken nose and needed stitches in her head, knee and elbow. She also needed to have multiple MRI scans and Melissa said she was told that her hospital records said she had to have a blood transfusion.
Photos shared with the ECHO, show Melissa with huge stitches in her head, black eyes and other cuts and grazes in her body. The 35-year-old said she wanted to share her story to warn others of the potential dangers of similar rides on holiday.
She said: "If that had been a child there would have been no way a child would have survived that. There was no health and safety, you don't think do you? You're just on holiday, I am having a good time and I feel like I need to say something as I could be saving a child's life." | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/woman-needed-blood-transfusion-after-24051786 | 2022-05-25T05:46:49Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/woman-needed-blood-transfusion-after-24051786 | false | 2 |

Ahh the former members of the Liberal party, messy binches, the lot of ’em. They love bringing about chaos, spilling tea and being absolutely drama-obsessed goblins. Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is no exception to this either, revealing that there was a secret little plot to get him to challenge Scott Morrison that he didn’t get involved with.
In revealing this little plan to News.com.au, Frydenberg probably thought it would make him look like the most loyal man to ever breathe. However, it’s kind of like somebody coming up to you and saying “I could be talking shit about you right now but I’m not! Aren’t I a great friend?”
“I was approached by some colleagues late last year, but I quickly made it clear a challenge was not on,’’ he told them.
Sure Frydenberg is a little more likeable than Morrison but only marginally. It’s like picking between drinking a tall glass of pure oysters or a tall glass of chicken livers.
News.com.au reported that a bunch of Liberal MPs shared whispers with them, claiming Frydenberg was “loyal to a fault.”
Clearly, he thought not dogging his mate was more admirable than challenging, even at the cost of his entire party. Personally, if it meant Scott Morrison lost, then I reckon he made the right choice, bless.
In case you missed it, Frydenberg recently lost his seat of Kooyong to Independent Monique Ryan.
Frydo (Frydenburger? Joshy?) is reported to have burnt approximately $1 million on his losing campaign. I could have taken that money and bought a house for my friends and I.
News.com.au spoke to former Liberal MP Dr Fiona Martin who claims to have been one of the girlies that approached Frydenberg, asking him to challenge Morrison for leadership.
“I just wanted to ensure that our party could win at the next election. I thought that Josh Frydenberg was a natural leader and the next leader of the party,” she said.
“I am a moderate. I thought we should be leading from the centre.
“He’s very charismatic. He was an excellent Treasurer. He has so much talent there and it’s a great loss to our country to see him go and I hope, I really hope he comes back one day.”
Dr Fiona Martin lost the seat of Reid to Labor’s Sally Sitou.
Get well soon, queen.

Being an actress, Sonnalli Seygall often has to check what she eats to stay in shape. However, that does not mean that the 33-year-old actress does not enjoy eating food. In a recent interview, the Jai Mummy Di actress revealed how those around her presume that she does not eat enough food just to stay slim.
Talking to Hindustan Times, Seygall shared an incident where she realised how people view her now that she is an actress. The Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 actress said, “Once I had the funniest incident. I was invited to lunch by one of my friends, rather a new friend.” Seygall said that the new friend had messaged her saying that her mother has cooked for the actress especially, so she must come to her place. Seygall told the national daily, “I went without having my food because of course when someone invites you over, you don’t eat from your house and go.” She said that she went straight to her friend's place from her workout class. As she reached the friend’s place, Seygall was served some healthy food like carrot juice, shots made out of ginger and herbs, and different types of salad.
She told Hindustan Times that after having all the super healthy appetizers she was waiting for the main course. However, she soon realised that lunch was over. The actress revealed that it so happened that her friend and her family ate daal chawal before her. She also added that the hosts said “'But you must not eat daal chawal na'." Seygall said that she told them to give her whatever they ate.
Seygall said her friend and her family just assumed that she does not eat fat or carbs. Sharing her thoughts on the incident she said, “It amuses me and makes me sad at the same time. People have such wrong ideas about food and diet. Hence I have started vlogging about fitness and health. ”
The actress, who also has a YouTube channel, often shares make-up tutorials and fitness tips via her videos.

Patch The Imagined into a loudspeaker is the first Resistance challenge for Week 10 in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
Since the IO have built themselves something with obvious doomsday device vibes, it’s time for The Seven and their allies to fight back. (Again.) For this reason, you need to complete all of the Resistance challenges from the past week to unlock this challenge.
Completing this challenge will reward you with 23k XP, which will help you unlock new skins and other rewards from this season’s Battle Pass.
Loudspeaker locations in Fortnite
While this is quite a short Fortnite challenge, it involves visiting what, despite the name, can be quite a dangerous location – Sanctuary.
Before you can start this Resistance challenge though, you need to establish a device uplink near Sanctuary. These locations are probably quite familiar to you now, because device uplinks around Sanctuary tend to be in the same location.
Once you’ve made contact with The Imagined, she’ll task you with patching her into one of three loudspeakers located around Sanctuary.
The first loudspeaker is located south of where The Foundation spawns – the middle of Sanctuary – at the beginning of every match.
The second loudspeaker can be found outside the large building in the middle of Sanctuary.
The final loudspeaker is located on the eastern edge of the northern plaza in Sanctuary.
Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Prowler skin, along with the return of jetpacks and Choppas. As we enter Season 2’s final month, it’s a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite. You can also complete Resistance challenges, including collecting signal jammers and finding an energy fluctuation. Don’t forget about the Seasonal challenges, which include planting saplings and call an Air Strike on a tank. Meanwhile Victory Crowns and the character collection have returned, along with a new Victory Umbrella to earn.
Remember – you only need to find one of these loudspeakers, and interact with it, to complete this Fortnite challenge.
If you’d like to learn more about Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2, visit our pages on how to unlock The Prowler skin, get XP fast, old IO server locations and Choppa locations.

Glampitect, the glamping site design consultancy, is delighted to announce a partnership with leading UAE engineering specialists Rescom as it launches the region’s first portable luxury glamping pod.
The two Dubai-based companies believe the collaboration will play a major role in accelerating the growth of glamping in the Middle East.
The ground-breaking transportable pod is the first product of the link-up, visitors to this week’s Dubai Hotel Show having the first chance to see it up close.
Manufactured at Glampitect’s factory in the emirate, the pods measure 6.7m x 3.3m as standard, and the air-conditioned units have powder-coated aluminium tiles on the outside as well as all the latest accessories such as flat-screen TVs and modern kitchens, and to make it a real home from home.
The pods will be ideal for anyone looking to start up a glamping business, the return on investment one of the key drivers in attracting people to the market.
Internally they can be finished to the same five-star quality in a variety of ways, meaning the units can also be transformed into anything from a home office to yoga studio or spa room.
Uniquely, they are built on a galvanised steel chassis, which allows them to be picked up and moved around to different locations, which is another attractive aspect.
Hailing the partnership with Rescom as a ground-breaking moment for the glamping sector in UAE, Glampitect managing director Calum MacLeod said: “When I met Chris Perry at Rescom, it became apparent there was a real synergy between our two companies.
“The can-do attitude when I first had a conversation with him really struck a chord and it’s fantastic to be working together. I had this idea but needed someone with the engineering knowledge and experience to build it.
“The transportable luxury pod is just the start for us and I can’t wait to see where the journey takes us. The big advantage is that it can be taken out into the desert, or hard-to-reach places, so there is a high degree of flexibility.
“It’s ideal for people looking to set up a glamping site or who have additional space in their house. It is much cheaper than setting up a hotel, and makes a quicker return on investment than a hotel, so will be a major asset for anyone wanting to move into the glamping business.
“We carried out consumer research on the Middle East market and want to help the area catch up with the glamping boom that is happening elsewhere, particularly in the UK.
“It’s just starting to take off here: compound annual growth rate for the glamping industry is 14.1% and we’re looking to help accelerate that growth.
The news comes in the wake of Tomorrowland’s Terra Solis being announced as a unique glamping experience in Dubai's newest desert destination.
“The big difference,” said Edinburgh-born Mr MacLeod, “is those pods are built onsite and will never be moved, so very much a permanent feature compared to our one which can be picked up and moved to different locations.”
Rescom managing director Mr Perry said: “Calum and I met by a chance meeting and instantly I was impressed by his passion, professionalism and drive to succeed. It was evident from the beginning that he and Glampitect had the skills and experience that would complement and improve Rescom Middle East.
“Since the initial meeting we have both bounced off each other with our ideas and proposals for the future and both share the same vision of disrupting the glamping and portable housing market in the Middle East and beyond.
“I am extremely excited to see where this partnership takes us and have little doubt we will succeed in our goals together.”

Mastercard's smile-to-pay system, announced last week, is supposed to save time for customers at checkouts. It is being trialled in Brazil, with future pilots planned for the Middle East and Asia. The company argues that touch-less technology will help speed up transaction times, shorten lines in shops, heighten security and improve hygiene in businesses. But it raises concerns relating to customer privacy, data storage, crime risk, and bias.
Mastercard's biometric checkout system will provide customers with facial recognition-based payments, by linking the biometric authentication systems of a number of third-party companies with Mastercard's own payment systems. A Mastercard spokesperson told The Conversation it had already partnered with NEC, Payface, Aurus, Fujitsu Limited, PopID, and PayByFace, with more providers to be named.
They said providers need to go through independent laboratory certification against the program criteria to be considered but details of these criteria aren't yet publicly available. According to media reports, customers will have to install an app that will take their pictures and payment information. This information will be saved and stored on the third-party provider's servers.
At the checkout, the customer's face will be matched with the stored data. And once their identity is verified, funds will be deducted automatically. The wave option is a bit of a trick: as the customer watches the camera while waving, the camera still scans their face not their hand. Similar authentication technologies are used on smartphones (face ID) and in many airports around the world, including smart gates in Australia.
China started using biometrics-based checkout technology back in 2017. But Mastercard is among the first to launch such a system in Western markets competing with the pay with your palm system used at cashier-less Amazon Go and Whole Foods brick and mortars in the United States. Much about the precise functioning of Mastercard's system isn't clear. How accurate will facial recognition be? Who will have access to the databases of biometric data?
A Mastercard spokesperson told The Conversation that customers' data would be stored with the relevant biometric service provider in encrypted form, and removed when the customer indicates they want to end their enrolment. But how will the removal of data be enforced if Mastercard itself can't access it? Obviously, privacy protection is a major concern, especially when there are many potential third-party providers involved.
On the bright side, Mastercard's customers will have a choice as to whether or not they use the biometrics checkout system. However, it will be at retailers' discretion whether they offer it, or whether they offer it exclusively as the only payment option. Similar face-recognition technologies used in airports, and by police, often offer no choice.
We can assume Mastercard and the biometrics provider with whom they partner will require customer consent, as per most privacy laws. But will customers know what they are consenting to? Ultimately, the biometric service providers Mastercard teams up with will decide how they use the data, for how long, where they store it, and who can access it.
Mastercard will merely decide what providers are good enough to be accepted as partners, and the minimum standards they must adhere to. Customers who want the convenience of this checkout service will have to consent to all the related data and privacy terms. And as reports have noted, there is potential for Mastercard to integrate the feature with loyalty schemes and make personalised recommendations based on purchases.
While the accuracy of face recognition technologies has previously been challenged, the current best facial authentication algorithms have an error of just 0.08 percent, according to tests by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In some countries, even banks have become comfortable relying on it to log users into their accounts.
Yet we can't know how accurate the technologies used in Mastercard's biometric checkout system will be. The algorithms underpinning a technology can work almost perfectly when trailed in a lab but perform poorly in real-life settings, where lighting, angles, and other parameters are varied.
In a 2019 study, NIST found that out of 189 facial recognition algorithms, the majority were biased. Specifically, they were less accurate on people from racial and ethnic minorities. Even if the technology has improved in the past few years, it's not foolproof. And we don't know the extent to which Mastercard's system has overcome this challenge.
If the software fails to recognise a customer at the checkout, they might end up disappointed, or even become irate which would completely undo any promise of speed or convenience. But if the technology misidentifies a person (for instance, John is recognised as Peter or twins are confused for each other), then money could be taken from the wrong person's account. How would such a situation be dealt with? We often hear about software and databases being hacked, even in cases of supposedly very secure organisations.
Despite Mastercard's efforts to ensure security, there's no guarantee the third-party providers' databases with potentially millions of people's biometric data won't be hacked.
In the wrong hands, this data could lead to identity theft, which is one of the fastest-growing types of crime, and financial fraud. Mastercard suggests 74 percent of customers are in favour of using such technology, referencing a stat from its study also used by business partner Idemia (a company that sells biometric identification products).
But the report cited is vague and brief. Other studies show entirely different results. For example, this study suggests that 69 percent of customers aren't comfortable with face recognition tech being used in retail settings. And this one shows only 16 percent trust such tech. Also, if consumers knew the risks the technology poses, the number of those willing to use it might drop even lower. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/why-mastercards-smile-to-pay-system-raises-privacy-concern-13606322.htm | 2022-05-25T06:12:15Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/why-mastercards-smile-to-pay-system-raises-privacy-concern-13606322.htm | true | 13 |

Taiwan firms resuming production in China as COVID curbs ease -minister
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Roughly half of Taiwanese companies that had previously suspended work in China due to COVID-19 control measures have resumed production as curbs ease, the island’s economy minister said on Thursday.
Shanghai and neighbouring Kunshan, a hub for Taiwanese electronics makers including Apple supplier Quanta Computer Inc, last month imposed stringent lockdowns to control the country’s biggest COVID outbreak.
After managing to bring community transmission down to zero, Shanghai has begun reopening and is aiming for normal life to fully resume by June.
“The resumption rate now is at about 50%. If everything goes well, we are hoping for a full resumption in June,” Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua told reporters in Taipei.
Wang said companies were still facing problems such as supply ckunshan hain bottlenecks and logistics issues and that the situation could change depending on China’s pandemic prevention policies. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2608152402199/taiwan-firms-resuming-production-in-china-as-covid-curbs-ease-minister | 2022-05-25T06:18:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2608152402199/taiwan-firms-resuming-production-in-china-as-covid-curbs-ease-minister | true | 2 |

Khloe Kardashian has revealed how her younger sister Kendall Jenner is feeling after the recent cucumber backlash.
In Thursday's episode of The Kardashians, 26-year-old model Kendall was mocked by fans over the way she sliced a cucumber while making herself a snack.
Many were left baffled at the way she cut the vegetable and took to social media to laugh at the reality star.
Almost one week on, Kendall's sister Khloe opened up about the backlash she received online and admitted she "feels so bad" for her.
Speaking on the podcast Not Skinny Not Fat, Khloe, 37, shared that Kendall wasn't too pleased by the reaction.
"Oh my god, she's like, not happy about that. I feel so bad," Khloe revealed.
She continued: "I'm like, Kendall, God is fair. You're the most beautiful human being in the world. You have wild-looking toes, God bless, and you can't cut a f**king cucumber."
"She has this perfect life, this perfect dog, she's a gazelle of a human being, she walks the runway, she's like all of these amazing things. You can't cut a f**king cucumber."
Khloe then joked she is going to "teach" her sister how to do it the right way.
She concluded: "I was just confused, like, where, like, why it was positioned this way, but we don't know, but I love her, she's so perfect."
It comes after Kylie Jenner made a hilarious jibe at Kendall in a TikTok video after the cucumber chopping clip went viral.
Kylie danced the night away with her older sister in a sweet wedding video while celebrating sister Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker 's third wedding in Italy.
Enjoying each other's company at the lavish Italian wedding, the Jenner duo were having a great time with each other during the reception and celebrations after the ceremony.
Kylie refereed to her big sister Kendall as "cucumber girl" in the caption – which was a reference to a hilarious moment from the recent episode.
Fans were quick to point out the hilarious caption, with one writing: "not the cucumber girl PLS."
Another then added: "the caption is everything."
While a third penned: "Kylie, the caption? really?"
And a fourth said: "the caption HAHAHA."

How Terry Smith is investing as markets crash
23rd May 2022 11:31
The veteran stock picker has been doubling down on his technology bet rather than retreating to ‘defensive stocks’.
It has been an eventful start to the year for stock markets. The S&P 500 is close to a 20% drop from highs, the definition of a bear market, while global shares have also fallen steeply. In contrast, British stocks have held up well, buoyed by their high weighting to mining and oil firms, as well as reliable consumer staples.
Deutsche Bank’s head of global fundamental credit strategy Jim Reid notes that it is the sixth largest non-recession correction in post-Second World War history for the US stock market.
This should be a prime time for active managers to show their worth, perhaps by shifting portfolios out of expensive shares and into cheaper ones to profit from rising interest rates and inflation.
Professional investors globally are taking this approach: they now hold more cash than at any point since 9/11, are “underweight” shares, and hold the least in technology stocks since 2006, according to Bank of America's fund manager survey this month.
But star stock picker Terry Smith is taking a different path. The Fundsmith Equity manager has been moving his portfolio out of healthcare, which is considered a “defensive” sector, and is buying technology stocks at cheaper valuations after share price drops.

His giant £25.5 billion fund, a member of the interactive investor Super 60 list, added creative software giant Adobe and Alphabet (Google) shares for the first time this year, following on from his first purchase of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock last summer. He also revealed another new holding last month in Mettler Toledo, a manufacturer of scales and analytical instruments.
Smith is not a dedicated technology investor, but pledges to “buy good companies” – those that have loyal customers, high profit margins and reliable growth. He says he refuses to overpay for such companies, tending to use periods of market weakness to initiate positions.
Smith is required to tell the American financial watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which US shares he owns every quarter. These are known as “F13” filings and give insight into what a fund manager is doing that is not revealed in regular monthly factsheets.
Smith’s latest filing, covering the first three months of the year, showed that he has sold the majority of his shares in healthcare firm Johnson & Johnson and added to two new holdings in Adobe and Mettler Toledo.

Between the end of 2021 and 31 March 2022, Smith sold nearly seven million J&J shares. His investment in the firm went from $1.2 billion (£960 million) to $42 million (£33 million), according to filings released last week.
With the extra cash, Smith bought 1.9 million Adobe shares, worth $876 million (£702 million), as well as 412,603 shares of Mettler Toledo, worth $566 million (£453 million).
This made them roughly 3% and 2% positions, as of the end of March.
Addressing investors in March, Smith said the fund would “definitely have a torrid period if markets react to bond yields going up” – but he made it clear that he would not change his investment approach of buying expensive but high-quality companies.
He said: “Bad businesses do not become good ones. We are never going to own banks or energy stocks. Good business can keep competitors out and are worth paying for.”

This year, Fundsmith Equity has fallen 19% compared with a 13% drop for the average global investor and 10% drop for the MSCI World index.
Smith’s biggest position is Microsoft, followed by Idexx Laboratories and Estee Lauder, according to his recent SEC filing.
Other fund managers that focus on high-quality growth stocks are going through a tough period, including Nick Train. The Lindsell Train Global Equity fund is down 11% year-to-date.
Train, who rarely trades, recently added the first new holding in three years to the global strategy – credit scoring firm Fair Isaac Corporation. The stock was introduced following the recent sale of Pearson (LSE:PSON).
Over one, three, five and 10 years, Smith's Fundsmith Equity has been the better performer.

The Padres placed Clevinger on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right triceps strain. The severity of the strain isn't known, but it's not an encouraging diagnosis for a pitcher that underwent Tommy John surgery on the same arm in November 2020. With that in mind, Clevinger could end up spending more than the minimum 15 days on the shelf, as the Padres are likely to ease him back slowly even if the triceps strain proves to be a minor concern. After opening the past week in a bullpen role, MacKenzie Gore will start Sunday's game against the Giants and could effectively replace Clevinger if the Padres opt to maintain a five-man rotation. If the Padres elect to go with a six-man setup, Nick Martinez could also recapture a starting role while Clevinger is out. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2608161868970/cubs-drew-smyly-surrenders-three-runs-in-loss | 2022-05-25T06:34:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2608161868970/cubs-drew-smyly-surrenders-three-runs-in-loss | true | null |
How creepy hit song was used to taunt sister of 'beautiful' schoolgirl having affair with Chris Dawson - as murder trial hears 'he took money from glovebox to pay someone to kill his wife Lyn'
- Lynette Dawson vanished from Sydney's northern beaches in January 1982
- Her husband, ex-footy star Chris Dawson, pleaded not guilty to alleged murder
- Sister of schoolgirl was taunted by creepy lyrics from The Police hit song
- Babysitter's best friend told Dawson 'took money to pay for Lyn's murder
- Friends said teachers 'preyed' on pupils and Dawson 'molested' her friend
- Trial heard Lyn came home to find babysitter 'naked in the pool' and Chris inside
- Video of Chris Dawson's 1991 police interview played to court
The Chris Dawson murder trial has heard how lyrics of a hit song by the band, The Police, were sung to taunt the younger sister of the schoolgirl having an affair with the PE teacher.
The court also heard on Wednesday that the schoolgirl, after leaving her marriage to Dawson in 1990, had told one of her best friends, that he had taken money in a brown paper bag from the glovebox of his car to pay someone to 'kill Lyn'.
The younger sister of JC told the court how girls at their school, Cromer High, sang the first line of "Don't Stand So Close To Me' to taunt her after her older sister - the woman known legally as JC - began an affair with Dawson.
The younger sister, who was four years behind her Year 12 sister at Cromer High School in 1981 - said she was bullied by girls singing her the song which made her 'kind of embarrassed'.
The lyrics sung to her were 'Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy’.
The song goes on to say, 'You know how bad girls get, sometimes it's not so easy, to be the teacher's pet'.
The Teacher's Pet is the name of a podcast about the alleged murder of Lynette Dawson by her husband Chris Dawson, who went on to marry JC.
Asked about what the girls were referring to with the words, and its impact on her, JC's younger sister said, 'I knew they were referring to my sister and Mr Dawson, it made me cringe'.
One of JC's best friends at school, KL, told the court on Wednesday that in Year 12, JC had been 'very beautiful' and spent more and more time talking with her PE teacher Chris Dawson.
Chris Dawson's murder trial has heard how his schoolgirl wife claimed she had seen him take money in a brown paper bag from his car glovebox to 'pay' someone to 'kill Lyn'
The trial has heard how lyrics of a hit song by the band, The Police, were sung to taunt the younger sister of the schoolgirl JC (above) having an affair with Chris Dawson
'He was very flirtatious, he was very vain, (JC) was seen regularly standing in door of his PE Office (at) recess, lunchtime,' KL said.
She said that JC had steadily become 'more reserved' after becoming involved with Dawson and when their group of school friends and boyfriends went camping at South West Rocks in January 1982, he turned up.
'He was standing by a car, he was off in the distance, she had her back to him,' KL told the court.
'I said "what is HE doing here, we’re all students".'
JC's response was 'her body language was, she hunched up and sort of turned away from where he was. She collapsed her body and cringed'.
Another school friend staying at the South West Rocks caravan park, MC, had entreated JC not to leave with Dawson, saying, 'don't go', but she said JC had replied, 'I have no choice, I have to go'.
The Crown alleges this happened just after police say Chris Dawson murdered his wife, on or soon after January 8, 1982.
One of the schoolgirl's best friends said JC told her after leaving Dawson (above with first wife Lynette) how it was weird to see Lyn's rings and clothes left behind so she assumed the woman had been murdered
Friends of the schoolgirl (above, centre, leaving the trial this month) said she was 'very beautiful' in Year 12 and Dawson was 'flirtatious and vain' and turned up unexpectedly at the schoolfriends' camping holiday
KL told the judge-only trial in the NSW Supreme Court, where Dawson has pleaded not guilty to murder, that she next saw JC in 1990 when she had fled her marriage to the accused.
They were together, going to a petrol station in the Sydney suburb of Dee Why, when KL and JC discussed what the latter thought had happened to Dawson's first wife.
'The substance of what she said, was she believed Lyn had been murdered,' KL said.
'She said it was weird, all of her (Lynette Dawson's) rings were in a bowl on the dressing table and all her clothes were there and she felt Lyn was murdered.
'And Chris had taken her (JC) somewhere once and he took something out of the glovebox, and it was money to pay someone to kill Lyn.
'She (JC) said Chris was very controlling, he was aggressive, she was miserable and she had to get out.'
Under cross-examination by Dawson's counsel, KL was read a 2018 police statement she had made about the 1990 encounter with JC.
In that statement, the court heard, KLsaid she was told by JC that Dawson had 'grabbed a brown paper bag from the glovebox, (said) "I think he must have got a hit man to kill her or something ... she must be dead because she didn’t take any of her clothes or anything".'
JC and Dawson at their 1984 marriage, which she left in 1990, telling friends 'Chris was very controlling, he was aggressive, she was miserable and she had to get out'
Video of the beginning of Chris Dawson's 1991 police interview was played in court late on Wednesday, showing the then 42-year-old dressed in a white t-shirt being grilled by two detectives.
In the interview Dawson runs though what had happened leading up to and after his wife's disappearance, and saying he'd spoken with a drug squad detective at a 1985 high school reunion about helping with inquiries.
Told by Detective Sergeant Paul Magyar that particular detective had been quizzed about that and 'had no knowledge of it', Dawson said the man might have been 'intoxicated' when they spoke.
Dawson agreed with his interviewers that after Lyn left because she 'needed time away' he had told her mother Lyn had phoned him saying she wouldn’t come home until she made up her mind and he had said ‘how much more bloody time do you need'.
The trial heard earlier that Dawson allegedly told JC, after driving her in her school uniform to a hotel, that he had planned to get a hit man to murder Lyn, but changed his mind because 'innocent' people could be hurt.
KL objected to Dawson's counsel describing JC's affair with Dawson as 'a relationship', protesting that she regarded it as 'molestation' and that at Cromer High school, teachers had 'preyed on' students.
Dawson's defence lawyer put it to KL that she had an 'unabashed view that this man (the accused) is guilty of killing Lyn Dawson', to which she replied, 'my opinion is that he had reason and she has been murdered'.
Asked by Justice Ian Harrison if it was KL's view that Dawson is 'guilty of murdering Lyn,' KL said, 'yes, or arranging to have her murdered'.
Chris Dawson, 73, is standing trial in the NSW Supreme Court accused of killing his wife Lyn, who disappeared at the age of 33.
The Crown claims that then-high school teacher Chris Dawson killed Lynette and disposed of her body because of his affair with JC, who was one of his PE students.
Chris Dawson (above left, arriving at the Supreme Court with his brother, Peter) was 'flirtatious' and vain' as a PE teacher at Cromer High where, the court heard, teachers 'preyed on' students
Dawson's legal team has argued that while he may have failed his wife as a husband, he did not kill her.
On Tuesday, former childcare assistant Anna Grantham described to the court a violent incident Mrs Dawson had relayed to her, after Ms Grantham had become concerned at Mr Dawson’s aggressive behaviour towards his first wife.
Ms Grantham said Lynette, with whom she had formed an ‘instant friendship bond’ at Warriewood Childcare Centre, had met up at a Sunday boot sale in Elanora Heights to sell bric-a-brac.
When Chris Dawson came to pick her up with their two young daughters in the car, ‘he appeared to be very agitated and angry and aggressive towards Lyn, the way he spoke to Lyn’,' Ms Grantham told the court.
The following day at work, Ms Grantham said she had broached the subject and told Lynette she ‘was very surprised the way Chris was towards her, cranky and he was aggressive with words’.
Lyn’s response, Ms Grantham said, was ‘her face changed, she appeared to be worried … and she said to me “yes he can be very aggressive towards me”.’
Chris Dawson is on trial for the alleged murder of his first wife Lynette (above, the couple together), who hasn't been seen since January 1982
During her testimony, Ms Grantham said Lynette then told her, ‘one day we were having a fight around the pool and he actually grabbed me around the back of my hair’ and that then he ‘pressed her on the mud with her face, their own pool’.
When she asked Lynette ‘how long he had held her’ in the mud, Mrs Dawson replied, ‘I could not breathe, I was gasping for breath’.
Ms Grantham told the court she was scared for her friend saying 'oh my God, he could obviously (have) killed you’ and Lynette responded, saying ‘Yes he could have easily killed me’.
During cross-examination by Chris Dawson’s lawyer, Pauline David, who suggested the story had come from a neighbour of the Dawsons’, or that her memory had been contaminated by other people’s stories, Ms Grantham said she had a visual memory of Lyn telling her about the assault.
‘I cannot forget what I was told … by Lyn about the episode around the pool. I just had it inside me in my heart,' she told the court.
She also said Lyn had told her about going home at lunchtime during the school holidays – which she usually didn’t do – and finding their schoolgirl babysitter’s bikini bottoms on the clothesline along with her husband’s swimming trunks.
‘She was really hurt and very, very sad,’ Ms Grantham said of Lyn Dawson’s reaction.
The trial continues.

The Republican nominations for four statewide races were on the ballot Tuesday, along with a constitutional amendment to fund improvements at state parks and historical sites.
Here is a rundown on key races:
SECRETARY OF STATE
Outgoing State Auditor Jim Zeigler and state Rep. Wes Allen advanced to the Republican primary runoff to succeed GOP incumbent John Merrill as Alabama’s top elections officer, secretary of state.
Zeigler was barred from running again as auditor by term limits, and Allen served nearly a decade as probate judge in Pike County. Neither could get above the 50% vote threshold in a race that also included Ed Packard, who worked in the secretary of state’s elections division for nearly 25 years, and Christian Horn, a GOP activist and business owner from Madison County.
None of the four candidates raised major complaints about election problems in Alabama, which is controlled by Republicans and voted heavily for President Donald Trump in 2020. But all talked about measures needed to tighten election security, an issue popularized among conservatives by Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen by President Joe Biden.

The eventual Republican nominee will face Democrat Pamela J. Laffitte of Mobile in November.
Merrill couldn’t seek the office again after serving two terms.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall easily defeated a Republican primary opponent and now has a good chance at reelection as he seeks a second four-year term as the state’s leading law enforcement official.
First appointed in 2017, Marshall turned back a challenge from Harry Bartlett Still III, an attorney from Daphne.
Marshall will face Democratic nominee Wendell Major, police chief in the Birmingham-area city of Tarrant, in November. No Democrat holds statewide office in the heavily Republican state.
Marshall, who previously served as district attorney in Marshall County, regularly opposes initiatives launched by Democratic President Joe Biden including vaccination requirements for COVID-19 and federal policies along the border with Mexico, and he testified against the nomination of now-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Still argued that corruption is rampant in state government and that the agency overseeing police standards and training in the state needs to be reorganized to increase public trust in law enforcement. He also supported replacing Alabama’s heavily amended Constitution, passed in 1901 to ensure white supremacy.
SUPREME COURT
Attorney Greg Cook, who portrayed himself as a “Trump-tough” Republican, won his party’s nomination for an open seat on Alabama’s Supreme Court by defeating Debra Jones, a judge who shot a gun in a tough-talking campaign commercial.
Cook will now be a heavy favorite over Democrat Anita L. Kelly in November to keep the state’s highest court in all Republican hands.
The race is for the Place 5 seat held by Justice Mike Bolin, a Republican who is retiring.
Cook campaigned in part on his Republican credentials and Christian faith. He was a Trump delegate and represented conservative interests in the 2000 presidential recount contest in Florida between Al Gore and President George W. Bush. Cook’s campaign resume also featured his longtime church membership and leadership.
Jones released a commercial late in the campaign boasting of her support for Trump, her short stature — “She’s 5 feet of concrete” — and a case in which she sentenced a person convicted of child molestation to more than 1,000 years in prison. The spot showed her firing a handgun and saying the only reason she didn’t put the person “under the jail” was “the liberals” wouldn’t let her.
STATE AUDITOR
State Rep. Andrew Sorrell of Muscle Shoals advanced to a runoff against one of two other candidates in the race for the GOP nomination for state auditor.
Sorrell led balloting, but it was too early to say whether Stan Cooke, a pastor from Kimberly, or Rusty Glover, a former history teacher from Semmes who served in the state Senate, to advance to the June 21 vote.
Winning the Republican nomination is tantamount to election because no Democrat qualified to run for auditor.
Candidates for auditor typically emphasize the importance of keeping track of state property, but all three Republicans talked about election security in the era of false claims about a stolen presidential vote in 2020 because the auditor has a role in selecting county registrar boards.
Copying false claims by former President Donald Trump, Cooke’s campaign website said Alabama must get ahead of Democrats before they “try and steal our elections as they did in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and even our neighbor to the east, Georgia.”
The incumbent, Jim Zeigler, could not seek reelection after serving two terms and is running for secretary of state.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Voters approved a measure to let the state go into debt for $85 million in bonds to spruce up Alabama’s state parks and historical sites.
The statewide constitutional amendment will provide $80 million in funding for state park projects that include adding and improving camping sites, adding wireless service, upgrading electrical and water service, replacing playgrounds, constructing swimming pools and repairing parts of Gulf State Park damaged by Hurricane Sally.
The remaining $5 million will go to the Alabama Historical Commission for acquiring, renovating and maintaining historical parks across the state. The agency wouldn’t be allowed to use the money at Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury. The park is funded by a tax that was originally intended for needy Confederate veterans.

Virat Kohli-backed Digit Insurance plans to raise ₹4,000 crore in IPO
3 min read . 12:06 PM IST- Digit has served more than 20 million customers across car, bike, health and travel insurance, as per its website.

India's Digit Insurance, backed by Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa's Fairfax Group, is considering raising about $500 million in an initial public offering at a valuation of $4.5 billion to $5 billion, three people aware of the matter told Reuters. Digit founder Kamesh Goyal is a veteran of the insurance industry who worked with Germany's Allianz and headed its Indian joint venture. Indian cricket star Virat Kohli is an investor and its brand ambassador.

Digit founder Kamesh Goyal is a veteran of the insurance industry who worked with Germany's Allianz and headed its Indian joint venture. Indian cricket star Virat Kohli is an investor and its brand ambassador.
Founded in 2017, Digit is trying to capitalise on India's under-penetrated general insurance market along with users' need for a better customer experience like easier claim settlements, though IPOs in the country have not done well in the past few months.
Founded in 2017, Digit is trying to capitalise on India's under-penetrated general insurance market along with users' need for a better customer experience like easier claim settlements, though IPOs in the country have not done well in the past few months.
Digit has appointed Morgan Stanley and Indian investment bank ICICI Securities as bookrunners for the deal. It plans to file its draft documents to the markets regulator by September and list by January, said the people, who sought anonymity as they were not authorised to talk to the media.
A spokesperson for Digit declined to comment on "speculation". ICICI too declined to comment while Morgan did not respond to emails seeking comment.
Digit was valued at close to $4 billion earlier this month when it raised a tranche of funding. It has so far raised more than $400 million from Sequoia Capital, A91 Partners and Faering Capital, besides Fairfax.
India's biggest public offering - of state-owned Life Insurance Corp - dropped 7.8% on debut this month after it raised $2.7 billion, far less than its original plan of $12 billion. Fintech firm Paytm also plunged on its debut last November following a $2 billion IPO.
Indian start-ups also have found it difficult to raise money privately this year after a boom in 2021.
India's insurance regulator requires companies in the sector to be at least five years old before going public, which Digit will fulfil by September. Digit plans to raise money by offering new shares along with Fairfax, its largest shareholder with about 30%, trimming its stake, the people said.
Fairfax could not immediately be contacted.
Non-life insurance penetration in India stood at only 0.94% in 2020/21, from 0.56% about 20 years ago, data from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India shows.
Digit has served more than 20 million customers across car, bike, health and travel insurance, as per its website.
Its revenue surged 62% to about $675 million in the last fiscal year, outpacing the industry's 11% increase. The company recorded a net loss of $7.8 million on revenue of $309 million in 2020/21, but its latest profit or losses could not immediately be ascertained.
Digit is among India's few startup unicorns - a term for companies valued at more than $1 billion - which is profitable or close to profitability, one of the people said.
Bankers say that demand for Digit's IPO will depend on how it prices its shares, in addition to macroeconomic factors. Inflation fears and rising interest rates are weighing on IPO demand in India and abroad.
"Digit is growing fast, so by the time they start talking to IPO investors, the $4 billion valuation will seem outdated," one banker said. "Given they don't burn cash, it is an attractive proposition for institutional investors." | https://www.livemint.com/market/ipo/virat-kohli-backed-digit-insurance-plans-to-raise-rs-3-500-crore-in-ipo/amp-11653459975754.html | 2022-05-25T06:40:08Z | https://www.livemint.com/market/ipo/virat-kohli-backed-digit-insurance-plans-to-raise-rs-3-500-crore-in-ipo/amp-11653459975754.html | false | 12 |
(AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton put his job and ability to withstand legal troubles on the line Tuesday in a Republican primary runoff against George P. Bush, whose own family record was at stake.
The outcome in America's biggest red state will test how much weight the Bush name still carries in Texas, where the family's roots run deep. It also will gauge whether an incumbent backed by former President Donald Trump, who has helped steer Texas farther to the right over limiting transgender rights and investigating elections, can keep a hold on GOP voters in the face of mounting accusations.
"It's not about dynasties. It's not about some sort of myth. It's about doing the right thing and supporting the right people for the right offices," Bush said Tuesday after voting in Austin. "And I think anybody can plainly see that we've got a crook right now in our top law enforcement position who continually abuses his office."
It is one of two closely-watched primary runoffs in Texas: on the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress, is in the fight of his political career against Jessica Cisneros, who supports abortion rights.
Bush, who is currently Texas' land commissioner, forced a runoff against Paxton during a crowded four-way primary in March that put at the forefront an ongoing FBI investigation into the two-term incumbent over accusations of corruption. Paxton is also still awaiting trial on securities fraud charges after being indicted in 2015.
More recently, the State Bar of Texas is weighing possible reprimands against Paxton over his baseless attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
But despite coming in second, Bush trailed by 20 points. The wide gap underscores Paxton's continued political durability and how much ground the 46-year-old scion of the Bush political dynasty needs to make up with GOP voters in Texas, where his uncle, former President George W. Bush, was once governor and his late grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, was a congressman and longtime Houston resident.
But the Bush's influence in the GOP is not what it once was.
Two years ago, Pierce Bush, a cousin of George P. Bush, became the first member of his family to lose a race in Texas in 40 years in a failed run for Congress in Houston. Paxton has seized on the shift with Republican voters while embracing Trump, who has endorsed Paxton and has mocked and antagonized the Bush family over the years while taking the family's place as the GOP's standard-bearer.
When U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas last week became a rare top Republican to publicly criticize Paxton, calling his long-running and unresolved criminal case an "embarrassment," Paxton shot back by aligning him with the Bushes.
"I'm not shocked by the Senator's comments. He represents the Bush wing of the GOP," Paxton tweeted.
In the final weeks of the campaign, Bush has ratcheted up his attacks on Paxton's legal troubles, running ads that highlight the unresolved indictments and FBI investigation, and call him unfit for office.
"This race isn't about my last name," Bush says in one ad. "It's about Ken Paxton's crimes."
This wasn't persuasive for one voter Tuesday. Suzanne Grishman was not deterred by the attorney general's indictment or the ongoing FBI investigation, saying "I believe people are innocent until proven guilty."
Grishman, 54, said she cast a ballot for Paxton in Dallas because she appreciates his "very bold stances" and because "he has a proven track-record of following the constitution and the laws of the land and individual rights and freedoms for Americans and Texans."

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — With only a test dummy aboard, Boeing's astronaut capsule pulled up and parked at the International Space Station for the first time Friday, a huge achievement for the company after years of false starts.
With Starliner's arrival, NASA finally realizes its longtime effort to have crew capsules from competing U.S. companies flying to the space station.
SpaceX already has a running start. Elon Musk's company pulled off the same test three years ago and has since launched 18 astronauts to the space station, as well as tourists.
"Today marks a great milestone," NASA astronaut Bob Hines radioed from the orbiting complex. "Starliner is looking beautiful on the front of the station," he added.
The only other time Boeing's Starliner flew in space, it never got anywhere near the station, ending up in the wrong orbit.
This time, the overhauled spacecraft made it to the right spot following Thursday's launch and docked at the station 25 hours later. The automated rendezvous went off without a major hitch, despite the failure of a handful of thrusters.
If the rest of Starliner's mission goes well, Boeing could be ready to launch its first crew by the end of this year. The astronauts likely to serve on the first Starliner crew joined Boeing and NASA flight controllers in Houston as the action unfolded nearly 270 miles (435 kilometers) up.
NASA wants redundancy when it comes to the Florida-based astronaut taxi service. Administrator Bill Nelson said Boeing's long road with Starliner underscores the importance of having two types of crew capsules. U.S. astronauts were stuck riding Russian rockets once the shuttle program ended, until SpaceX's first crew flight in 2020.
Boeing's first Starliner test flight in 2019 was plagued by software errors that cut the mission short and could have doomed the spacecraft. Those were corrected, but when the new capsule awaited liftoff last summer, corroded valves halted the countdown. More repairs followed, as Boeing chalked up nearly $600 million in do-over costs.
Before letting Starliner get close to the space station Friday, Boeing ground controllers practiced maneuvering the capsule and tested its robotic vision system. Everything checked out well, Boeing said, except for a cooling loop and four failed thrusters. The capsule held a steady temperature, however, and had plenty of other thrusters for steering.
Once Starliner was within 10 miles (15 kilometers) of the space station, Boeing flight controllers in Houston could see the space station through the capsule's cameras. "We're waving. Can you see us?" joked Hines.
There was only silence from Starliner. The commander's seat was occupied once again by the mannequin dubbed Rosie the Rocketeer, a space-age version of World War II's Rosie the Riveter.
The gleaming white-with-blue-trim capsule hovered 33 feet (10 meters) from the station for close to two hours — considerably longer than planned — as flight controllers adjusted its docking ring and ensured everything else was in order. When the green light finally came, Starliner closed the gap in four minutes, eliciting cheers in Boeing's control center. Applause erupted once the latches were tightly secured.
"These last 48 hours have just been a barnstorm, so it's going to be very good to sleep tonight," said Mark Nappi, vice president and director of Boeing's commercial crew program.
It was a double celebration for NASA's commercial crew program director Steve Stich, who turned 57 Friday. "What an incredible birthday it was," he told reporters.
The space station's seven astronauts will unload groceries and gear from Starliner and pack it up with experiments. Unlike SpaceX's Dragon capsule that splashes down off the Florida coast, Starliner will aim for a landing in New Mexico next Wednesday.

The Flin Flon Bombers are the only team playing at this year’s Centennial Cup in Estevan, Sask., which didn’t win their respective league title to qualify.
But that’s not stopping them from proving they belong.
The Bombers, representing the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, have clinched a playoff spot at the Canadian Jr. A Championship. They did so thanks to a 2-1 shootout win over the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League on Tuesday evening. That gave the Bombers a record of three wins and one loss but they could win their division if both the Kings and Summerside Jr. Capitals from the Maritime Hockey League both lose in regulation time on Wednesday.
The Bombers are the only team not in action as they’re on a bye.
Yellowknife’s Ethan Anstey has played in all four Bombers games so far and he said the shootout win over Dauphin was a nerve-wracker.
“I was doing a lot of praying on the bench,” he said following the game on Tuesday. “Those two goals we got in the shootout? Those were two of the prettiest goals I’ve ever seen.”
Both teams ended up tied at 1-1 following regulation time and sudden-death overtime solved nothing, though Flin Flon had the vast majority of chances in the extra frame to finish it.
“Respect to Dauphin’s goaltender, for sure,” said Anstey. “He made some unbelievable saves in overtime.”
The Bombers kicked things off on May 19 against the Soo Thunderbirds, champions of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League, and came away with a 6-1 win. They followed that up by beating the Ottawa Jr. Senators of the Central Canada Hockey League two nights later, 3-2, in overtime.
Anstey said things couldn’t have gotten off on a better foot.
“That gave us plenty of confidence and it helped us get into it,” he said. “But we didn’t want to be cocky because we saw what happens when you take a game off.”
Yes, something does happen when you take a game off: you end up losing to the Capitals, 4-1. The Bombers opened the scoring with Anstey drawing an assist on that marker but it was all Capitals from that point.
Anstey said the team just didn’t show up for that one.
“We got an early one but we just didn’t come to play that game,” he said. “I think we got a bit too comfortable being in the situation we were in and our coach (Mike Reagan) told us not to let other teams decide if we’re going to get into the playoffs.”
The Bombers will have at least two days off now and their next game depends on how the standings finish up. If they end up first, they get a bye through the quarter-final and will play in a semifinal on Saturday. If they end up finishing second or third, they play a quarter-final on Friday.
No matter how it ends up, Anstey said he’s having the time of his life playing in this tournament.
“This is the biggest tournament I’ve ever played in,” he said. “I’ve never had an experience like this and everything I’ve done in hockey is all worth it because of this moment. All the hours, all the practices — I’ve been waiting for something like this my whole life.” | https://www.nnsl.com/sports/ethan-anstey-and-flin-flon-bombers-into-playoff-round-at-centennial-cup/ | 2022-05-25T07:00:05Z | https://www.nnsl.com/sports/ethan-anstey-and-flin-flon-bombers-into-playoff-round-at-centennial-cup/ | false | 1 |
The Boston Red Sox are here. With their latest win, a 16-3 throttling of the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, Boston extends their winning streak to six in a row and is ever so close to the .500 mark.
The teams offensive identity seems to be rounding into form, which isn’t much of a surprise to those in the Red Sox clubhouse.
“Obviously going into the season we knew we were going to hit,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “Now if you look at the numbers today, we’re probably, like, a top three offense in the league. Right?”
Well, not quite. The Red Sox don’t rank in the top three of any major hitting category, but they do rank favorably over their six game winning streak. Boston has scored nine runs per game and batted .272 as a team. That’s good enough to make up for the lack of early production, even in Cora’s mind.
“We were horrible (offensively) for three weeks,” Cora said. “We’re turning things around a little bit.”
The Red Sox’s offensive turnaround has come about in large part to their big three, J.D. Martinez, Rafael Devers, and Xander Bogaerts. The former, Martinez, is about as locked in as ever.
“He’s very special,” Alex Cora said. “He doesn’t take anything for granted. Even with the score like that, he’s putting good at bats (together) … he’s been really good for a long time, and this season he’s been consistent the whole time.”
Nick Pivetta, Boston’s starter Tuesday, is 3-0 with a 1.61 earned run average over his last four starts, and seems to have found the formula to consistency in the month of May.
“(He had) a very good curveball today,” Red Sox catcher Christian Vázquez said on NESN’s postgame coverage. “He’s working hard and you can see the success.”
Pivetta agreed with Vázquez.
“I feel like my fastball command was pretty off,” Pivetta said. ” … but I was able to rely on my slider and curveball a lot, which helps me get deep in the baseball game.”
Here are some more notes from Tuesday’s Red Sox-White Sox game:
— Every member of the Red Sox’s starting lineup recorded a hit Tuesday, with each of them reaching base at least once before an out was recorded in the fourth inning.
— With a 4-for-5 performance, J.D. Martinez improved his batting total to .366, the second best amon qualified batters in the major leagues.
— The Red Sox had 22 hard hit balls on Thursday, the most by any one team in a game this season.
— Seven of Boston’s nine batters recorded at least two hits Thursday.
— The Red Sox have three players batting over .320, they are the only team in baseball to be able to claim that feat.
The Red Sox and White Sox continue their three game series Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET following an hour of pregame coverage, and you can watch it all on NESN. | https://nesn.com/2022/05/red-sox-notes-boston-wants-to-reset-the-season-amid-winning-streak/ | 2022-05-25T07:01:33Z | https://nesn.com/2022/05/red-sox-notes-boston-wants-to-reset-the-season-amid-winning-streak/ | false | 1 |

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) — Piano music wafted from an apartment block on a recent spring evening in Kramatorsk, blending with distant artillery fire for a surreal soundtrack to a bomb-scarred neighborhood in the eastern Ukrainian city.
No matter where they live, the 3-month-old war never seems to be far away.
Those in towns and villages near the front lines hide in basements from constant shelling, struggling to survive with no electricity or gas — and often no running water.
But even in regions out of the range of the heavy guns, frequent air raid sirens wail as a constant reminder that a Russian missile can strike at any time — even for those walking their dogs, riding their bicycles and taking their children to parks in cities like Kyiv, Odesa and Lviv.
Curfews, checkpoints and fortifications are commonplace. So are fresh cemeteries, uprooted villagers and war-scarred landscapes, as Moscow intensifies its attacks in eastern and southern Ukraine.
“City residents are trying to return to regular life, but with every step, they stumble upon either a crater or a ruined house or a grave in the yard,” said Andriy Pustovoi, speaking by phone to The Associated Press from the northern city of Chernihiv. “No one is cooking food over a bonfire or drinking water from a river anymore, but there's a long way to go to a normal life.”
Chernihiv was in the way of Russian forces as they advanced toward Kyiv early in the war. It was heavily bombarded, and Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko said about half of its buildings were damaged or destroyed. At least 700 residents were killed, and part of a city park now holds a cemetery, where some of them are buried.
Its streets are mostly empty now, half of the shops have not reopened and public transportation is not working properly, said Pustovoi, a 37-year-old engineer.
Rail service to Kyiv was only restored this month, but people who fled are in no rush to return.
“The scariest thing is that neighboring Russia and Belarus are not going away from Chernihiv, which means that some of the residents that left when the war started may not come back,” Atroshenko said sadly.
Few people are seen on the streets of Kramatorsk, where storefront windows are boarded up or protected by sandbags, and it's no wonder.
The eastern city has been hit several times, with the deadliest attack on April 8, when a missile struck near its train station where about 4,000 people had gathered to be evacuated before fighting intensified. In an instant, the plaza was turned into a scene of horror, with bodies lying on bloodstained pavement amid discarded luggage. A total of 57 people were killed, and over 100 wounded.
Kramatorsk is one of the largest in the industrial Donbas region of eastern Ukraine that has not been taken over by Russian forces. The region has been the site of battles between Moscow-backed separatists and Ukrainian government forces since 2014.
Elsewhere in the Donbas, the picture is even bleaker.
Ryisa Rybalko fled the village of Novomykhailivka, where she had been living first in a basement and then a bomb shelter at a school because of frequent shelling.
“We haven’t been able to see the sun for three months. We are almost blind because we were in darkness for three months,” Rybalko said. She arrived with her family in the town of Kiurakhove, driven by a fellow villager, and waited on Monday for a westbound bus.
Her son-in-law, Dmytro Khaliapin, said their village was pounded by artillery.
“Houses are ruined. It's a horror,” he said.
In neighboring Luhansk province, 83-year-old Lida Chuhay left the hard-hit town of Lyman, also near the front line.
“Ashes, ruins. The northern parts, the southern parts, all are ruined,” she said Sunday as she sat on a train heading west from the town of Pokrovsk. “Literally everything is on fire: houses, buildings, everything.”
Chuhay and others from Lyman said much of the town was reduced to rubble by the bombardment. Anyone still there is hiding in shelters because it is too dangerous to venture out.
“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.”
In cities farther from the front lines, air raid sirens sound so often that few pay attention and continue about their daily business.
After Russian forces failed to capture Kyiv in the opening weeks of the invasion and withdrew to the east, residents started to flow back into the capital. The nightly curfew has been cut by an hour, and public transportation started running longer to accommodate passengers.
Residents face long lines at gas stations, and the Ukrainian currency, the hryvnya, has weakened from 27 to the dollar at the start of the war to 37.
“Ukraine is being destroyed — not just by Russian bombs and missiles,” said Volodymyr Sidenko, an analyst at the Kyiv-based Razumkov Center think tank. “The fall in GDP (gross domestic product) and the sharp reduction in the revenue side of the budget have already been felt by every Ukrainian today. And this is just the beginning.”
But the National Opera resumed performances last week in Kyiv, with the audience advised how to reach the air raid shelter. No Russian operas are on the program.
And some restaurants, cafes and shops in cities such as Odesa and Zaporizhzhia have reopened.
Lviv, the city in western Ukraine about 45 miles (70 kilometers) from the Polish border, has been inundated with more than 300,000 people fleeing the war. About 1,000 arrive at its railway station daily.
“We judge the intensity of the fighting in the east not by (what) the news says but by waves of refugees, which have been growing in recent weeks again," said Alina Gushcha, a 35-year-old chemistry teacher who volunteers at the rail station to help arrivals.
Hotels, campgrounds, universities and schools ran out of space long ago, and the city has built temporary housing that resembles shipping containers in city parks.
“In the months of the war, I've learned to be happy about every day without shelling and bombardment,” said Halyna Shcherbin, 59, outside her container-like home in Stryiskyi Park, where she lives with her daughter and two granddaughters. That gratitude is perhaps linked to the fact that they left Kramatorsk the day before the deadly missile attack.
Lviv also comes under regular Russian bombardment because it's the gateway for Western military aid. Its Old Town architectural treasures, including the Boim Chapel and the Latin Cathedral, are protected by either metal shielding or sandbags.
In cities and towns of southern Ukraine, not far from the Crimean Peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014, the war continues to flare with regularity.
Parts of the city of Mykolaiv often come under attack, and its streets are mostly empty and businesses closed. In some neighborhoods, the scars of war are clear, with blast marks on sidewalks, burned-out stores and shrapnel embedded in walls. The Russian-occupied city of Kherson is only 58 kilometers (36 miles) to the east.
In the village of Velyka Kostromka, south of the city of Kryvy Rih, the remaining residents try to go on with life despite the occasional shelling.. At least 20 houses were damaged on a recent morning, including three that were destroyed. A woman and her three children narrowly escaped with their lives.
Hours later, a farmer was back in his potato field, surveying a small crater left behind. With barely a shrug, he raked over it.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s new Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has been sworn in as finance minister as this Indian ocean island nation confronts its worst economic crisis in memory.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa named Wickremesinghe minister of Finance, Economic Stability and National Policies in an apparent bid to regain Sri Lanka’s credibility as the government negotiates a bailout package with the International Monetary Fund.
Sri Lankans have been enduring shortages of food and fuel, power outages and other privations. The country lacks the financial wherewithal to buy imported necessities and pay its debts, and the economic crisis has fueled political turmoil, with protesters demanding Rajapaksa’s resignation.
Wickremesinghe's appointment followed a government announcement that Sri Lanka was hiring two international firms to restructure its $51 billion external debt. Lazard of France will provide financial advice and Clifford Chance LLP will assist with legal help in restructuring Sri Lanka's debts to international creditors.
A five-time former prime minister, Wickremesinghe was appointed to the post two weeks ago after his predecessor Mahinda Rajapaksa — who is the president’s elder brother — resigned following violent attacks by his supporters on peaceful anti-government protesters.
Sri Lankans for months have been forced to stand in long lines to buy scarce essentials, with many returning home empty-handed. There is a severe shortage of many goods, from food, cooking gas, medicine and fuel to toilet paper and matchsticks.
The economy has suffered under the pandemic, which has kept tourists away, and surging costs for most imports.
Nearly bankrupt, the country and has suspended repayments of $7 billion in foreign loans due this year. The IMF has said any short or long-term assistance will hinge on talks with creditors on restructuring loans. Sri Lanka must repay about $25 billion in foreign loans by 2026.
The finance ministry said earlier this month that the country’s usable foreign reserves had plummeted to $25 million.
Wickremesinghe, 73, has been in Parliament for 45 years. His political party split in 2020 amid a leadership crisis and its most senior members left to form a new party, which is currently the country’s main opposition.
He said last week that petrol stocks had dwindled to a single day, but shipments of gasoline paid for by an Indian credit line started arriving over the weekend.
Protesters have been occupying the entrance to the president’s office for more than 40 days demanding Rajapaksa’s resignation.
Attacks on peaceful protesters by government supporters triggered countrywide riots in which nine people died including a lawmaker and 200 were hurt. Homes and properties of government ministers and their supporters were burned down. The violence has nearly dismantled the Rajapaksa dynasty after Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned as prime minister.
Apart from being tasked with reviving the economy, Wickremesinghe is working on a constitutional amendment to dilute presidential powers and better empower the Parliament. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Sri-Lanka-s-prime-minister-tackles-thorny-17197137.php | 2022-05-25T07:14:35Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Sri-Lanka-s-prime-minister-tackles-thorny-17197137.php | true | 20 |
Community support services help ageing Hawkesbury residents
Most of us know the old saying "It takes a village to raise a child" but the reality is that it takes a village grow old and stay healthy too.
Loneliness for older people in the Hawkesbury community is a significant issue.
Older people who don't get enough social connection have an increased risk of experiencing poorer mental health and wellbeing, which research shows can have a negative impact on their physical health.
There are lots of ways for older people to make new connections but sometimes it can be hard to know where to start.
It can be confusing to know what local health or lifestyle services might be available to help.
To help combat this issue, Wentworth Healthcare, the provider of the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network, has developed the My Health Connector website.
It's a free online directory to help older people in the region improve their social connections.
The directory lists hundreds of local health and community services, wellbeing activities, COVID-19 supports, dementia care and social groups.
In the Hawkesbury, there are also local volunteer organisations acting as Community Connector Points that can help people, who are not so confident with technology, to navigate the directory. They can help sign-post people to local services and supports.
Community Connector Points in the area include the Hawkesbury Remakery, Bligh Park Neighbourhood centre, Peppercorn Services, Hawkesbury Leisure and Learning Centre, Kurrajong Neighbourhood Centre and the North Richmond Neighbourhood Centre.
Community organisations or groups can list their services or activities for free on the My Health Connector website.

MEMBERS of Ace AC have been reflecting on a hectic week of competition which saw a huge medal haul and fantastic results all round.
Starting the week off on Wednesday last was day one of the Leinster Schools Track & Field in Morton Stadium, Santry, where the secondary school students did themselves and their schools proud.
St Mary’s DS saw Shea O’Donnell come home in first place in the junior boys’ 800m, setting a new schools record at 2:01.56 and securing qualification for the All-Irelands in Tullamore on June 4. Shea has also been invited to register for the selection of the Tailteann Games panel.
Lorcan Forde Dunne, also running for St Mary’s, came fourth in Leinster in the Junior 800m for boys and set a new PB.
Sholah Lawrence, running for Greenhills, Drogheda, is now a Leinster schools champion over 800m in the minor girls’ category after winning in a time of 2:21. She also competed with Shruthi S Prasaad in the 4x100m Minor Girls relay, where they finished just outside the medals in fourth place.
Sacred Heart student Eimear Cooney finished in the silver medal position in the Junior Girls 1500m and her superb efforts throughout the school year saw her awarded Athlete of the Year and Sport Star of the Year at the Sacred Heart awards ceremony last Tuesday.
On Friday it was time for the younger athletes to lace up and compete in the Tullyallen Schools Cross-Country event. It’s late in the year for cross-country, but Tullyallen National School ensured a fun day for competitors.
Chloe Cooney, who was running for St Mary’s Parish Primary School, took gold in her sixth class girls race.
Another highlight was when Carla Walsh – also running for St Mary’s – took part in the fourth class girls race and finished in fourth place. This was a fantastic finish from an athlete who is growing stronger each week thanks to consistent hard work in training.
Saturday saw day two of the Leinster Schools event in Morton Stadium in Santry.
Sophie Gartland, who had been unwell of late, turned up to run for the Drogheda Grammar School and finished third in both the 100m and 200m sprints – fantastic results from an athlete who was under the weather.
Neil Culhane put in another gutsy performance as he tackled the senior boys’ 800m for St Oliver’s CC. He ran comfortably for most of the race but made a very tactical move with just 100m to go and clinched the gold medal.
Caer Ni Ghibne ran in the Senior girls’ 1500m for Drogheda Grammar and finished in third place – another super result.
Danny Nugent was the last of the Ace athletes to compete on Saturday for St Joseph’s in the intermediate boys 1500m. His constant hard work paid off as he won the silver medal.
Then, on Sunday, Cliodhna Nolan, Caer Ni Ghibne and Oisin and Ruarcan O Gibne attended the National League in Belfast, competing for Louth.
Cliodhna ran in the 400m, a distance she is growing quite fond of, put in a tremendous effort and finished in fifth place.
It was a pleasure to see Oisín O Gibne back after taking a break from competition and he run very well in his 1500m.
Saturday’s success wasn’t enough for Caer as she competed in both the 800m – where she finished fifth – and made up part of the 4x400m team that came fourth.
Ruarcan O Gibne’s first event was the 3k Steeplechase where he finished first in the first division, and he also made up part of the second-place 4x100m relay team. | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/louth/sport/othersports/new-schools-record-for-ace-runner-shea-41686835.html | 2022-05-25T07:22:18Z | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/louth/sport/othersports/new-schools-record-for-ace-runner-shea-41686835.html | false | 1 |

Orkun Kokcu: Should Arsenal try to sign Feyenoord's star midfielder this summer?
In less than four years, Orkun Kokcu has gone from Feyenoord academy graduate to one of the Eredivisie’s finest players.
Kokcu’s journey to the top of the game in the Netherlands has seen a once underrated prospect from Groningen’s youth set-up turn into a hero in Rotterdam.
But the 21-year-old may be set to make his final appearance for the Dutch outfit on Wednesday, when they take on Roma in the Europa Conference League final.
Editors' Picks
Their opponents in the tournament decider have been eyeing a move for Kokcu, with some reports claiming that the Turkey international has already agreed to join the Giallorossi.
They are not the only potential suitors, however, as Arsenal having been monitoring him for quite a long time, with links to the north London side having circulated for years.
As far back as 2020, ex-Feyenoord coach and former Manchester United and Ajax defender Jaap Stam argued that the midfielder has the quality to shine in the Premier League.
“He would need to adjust because the step to Arsenal and the Premier League is totally different when you compare it to Holland,” Stam told GOAL. “The pace of the game, the quality, the intensity is a lot higher.
“But he has the ability. He is a player who has the personality to want to improve, he always wants to do better. He’s never happy with himself, he’s disappointed if he doesn’t score, or his passes aren’t good enough.”
It has been, however, a long, difficult journey for Kokcu to get to this level.
He and his family all had to make sacrifices to help him and his brother Ozan, who currently plays in the Dutch second tier with Telstar, make it in the game.
“Becoming a professional footballer has always been our dream,” he told Voetbal International. “Whenever a talent day was organised somewhere, my brother and I were there.
"Where have we been? Where haven't we been! Ajax, AZ, Haarlem and more; wherever there were opportunities, we went, but we were never lucky.
“Until that man from FC Groningen suddenly appeared. Every Thursday afternoon we drove north with the whole family, we even got time off from school.
“Ozan was allowed to train, but I took my ball and went to do something for myself on the other half of the field. Dribbling, shooting, you know.
“One day a youth trainer from Groningen asked if I wanted to train with their D2 team. I was there anyway… I still think they thought there at Groningen: ‘We want that brother, so let's get his brother Orkun and we'll keep them together’.
“But for me it was the opportunity I had been waiting for so long and soon I started to stand out too and was allowed to stay. When you look back on it now, a lot is based on coincidence. And luck.”
The whole family packed up and moved to Groningen to support the boys' dreams, but Feyenoord came calling for Orkun and the situation became more complicated.
“I was playing in FC Groningen's C2 team when Feyenoord came forward,” he said. “That felt like a win, if you are wanted by a club like that… The problem was that things didn't go smoothly again.
“My brother stayed with Groningen, and I was too young to live alone in Rotterdam. So again a family sacrifice. My father stayed with Ozan in Groningen, my mother went back to Haarlem with me and took me to training in Rotterdam every day.
“As a family, we have lived separately for two years. Until Feyenoord decided to get Ozan too, then we were complete as a family again.”
And so, from the age of 13, Kokcu rocketed through the Feyenoord youth ranks to make his debut in the senior team at just 17-years-old.
Coming on to replace the injured Jens Toornstra, he showed in his 45-minute display against FC Emmen that he had the potential to be a special player.
It was a dream debut for Kokcu, who chipped in with a goal and an assist to play a crucial part in Feyenoord’s 4-1 victory.
He immediately looked at home in the centre of the field, invading spaces to receive the ball and dangerous when on it.
Although a bit fragile due to his youth, Kokcu looked smart, creative and threatening - attributes that would see him become a key figure in the famous red and white jersey, and beyond.
The Haarlem native has a knack for finding room in the tightest of defences and even when under immediate pressure, his fine touch and quick movement allow him to evade defenders and carve out a chance with his excellent passing.
As Feyenoord’s most creative player, Kokcu wins the ball, holds on to it well and pulls the strings from midfield, opening opportunities as he drives forward with his head up scanning for a team-mate in space.
He finished the 2021-22 Eredivisie season with seven goals and nine assists in 32 matches, and has stood out in Feyenoord’s excellent Europa Conference League campaign, too.
Few would argue that he is not ready for a move away from Feyenoord despite being just 21, and given Arsenal’s need for more depth in their midfield, he may be the solution for Mikel Arteta’s team.
Kokcu has enough in his arsenal to adapt to the change in intensity and pace of the Premier League, but he would need time to do so and there is no guarantee he would be given it.
The challenge for Kokcu is in delivering consistent quality performances. He has had a few sloppy displays for Feyenoord but when he is fit and in fine form, he can dazzle opponents.
“In order to become great and stay great, you need to be able to continuously maintain [that level of performance],” Feyenoord coach Arne Slot said. “A top player does that nine out of 10 times, and slightly lesser players do it seven of 10 times.
“It is a challenge for him and the whole team to reach a high level every week.”
He added in September: "It's been a while, but now others are starting to notice [his quality]. That's because not only does he not lose the ball, but also because he makes very good passes.
“If he also starts scoring goals, it will be more noticeable to the public. Apart from his goals, I also thought it was very good that he ran players off the ball. That is a very nice development for him."
Kokcu still has a long way to develop, but Wednesday's clash against Roma will provide him with the perfect opportunity to show that he is ready to continue his progress on a grander stage. | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/orkun-kokcu-arsenal-sign-feyenoord-midfielder-summer/blt4e8cc725378af5bd | 2022-05-25T07:25:42Z | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/orkun-kokcu-arsenal-sign-feyenoord-midfielder-summer/blt4e8cc725378af5bd | false | 12 |
D-Day relic takes to the Flemish skies
It’s a red-letter weekend for enthusiasts of historical aviation at Ostend as a Royal Dakota that took part in the D-Day landings in 1944 visited the port city.
Visitors to Ostend can go for a spin in the Royal Dakota DC-3 Princess Amalia, the sole remaining Dutch DC-3 that still takes to the skies.
The aircraft is over three-quarters of a century old and can look back on an impressive historical track record. During the D-Day landings that heralded the liberation of continental western Europe from Nazi occupation the plane dropped paratroopers. After the war it became the Dutch government’s first official airplane.
Flights take between 30 and 60 minutes. The plane stays at low altitude affording a magnificent view of the local area.
Arjan van Adriechem is the Dutch pilot. He normally flies Boeing 737s for KLM and sees commanding the Princess Amalia as a real treat.
“There is no automatic pilot, no jet engines. Our mission is to keep the DC-3 in the skies!”
Many of the passengers have a link with the history of the aircraft. They are the sons and daughters of former flying crews. A couple of weeks ago passengers included an 85-year-old former stewardess.
Peter Vanbrabant was one of Saturday’s passengers. He told VRT that he was afraid of flying but wanted to take part and experience the history of D-Day. | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/05/22/d-day-relic-takes-to-the-flemish-skies/ | 2022-05-25T07:27:37Z | https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/05/22/d-day-relic-takes-to-the-flemish-skies/ | false | 1 |
Lawmakers in California are debating whether to open sites where people can inject or snort illegal drugs under the watchful gaze of a health care worker. These facilities are an effort to save lives as overdoses skyrocket across the country.
"Instead of having people use drugs on the sidewalk when your kid is walking by, we want to give them a place where they can go inside," said state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, the sponsor of a bill to pilot facilities in Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Wiener stresses that so-called "safe consumption" or "supervised injection sites" would not only prevent overdoses, but also slow the spread of HIV and hepatitis by offering clean syringes.
The last time supervised injection facilities were on the table in California, in 2018, the bill progressed all the way to Gov. Jerry Brown's desk. He vetoed it. Wiener is trying again. He points to a recent cost-benefit analysis demonstrating that every dollar spent on safe consumption in San Francisco would save the city $2.33.
"Our hospitals, our emergency rooms, our fire department, our ambulances are all spending huge resources on people who are overdosing," Wiener said.
Gary McCoy, who was formerly addicted to heroin and then methamphetamine, says he wishes he would have had a safe place to shoot up before he hit rock bottom and nearly died.
He overdosed on heroin for the first time when he was 18 years old, at a gas station. The store attendant called 911 when McCoy deliriously crawled out of the bathroom and collapsed.
"I immediately went back to my dealer's house from the hospital and bought everything that she had because it was the best heroin I had ever done," he said.
At the time, McCoy was grappling with his sexuality in a conservative town in Virginia.
"I wasn't quite in the closet," said McCoy. "But I wasn't really open about the fact that I was gay."
He spent the next decade high, homeless and near the brink. At 24 years old, McCoy learned he was HIV-positive. He was staying in a cheap hotel in San Francisco alone. It was Christmas Eve.
"I weighed 110 pounds, psoriasis was all over my body, I was injecting every day, couch-surfing when I could, and trading sex for drugs or a place to sleep."
When he didn't have anywhere else to shoot up, McCoy used bathroom stalls at public libraries.
"I think if I had a place to go where I could safely use, where people could see that I needed medical assistance, I think it would have avoided a lot of trauma," he said.
McCoy says he spent lots of time in jail spread over many arrests, and landed in the emergency department monthly for at least a decade as his drug habits and AIDS ravaged his body.
A safe consumption site can range from a converted RV to a sprawling warehouse. Inside, it typically looks somewhat like a hair salon, with mirrors lining the walls, individual stalls for each client, and sterile supplies laid out on steel countertops.
"You'll have two rooms," said Alex Kral, epidemiologist for the nonprofit research group RTI International. "The first room is where people can inject under supervision. And then you have a second room where people can basically chill out after they have used drugs and be monitored."
Health care workers equipped with "crash carts" stocked with naloxone and other life-saving tools stand by to prevent fatal overdoses. The goal is also to inspire people to seek treatment and to connect them to primary care and social services.
Rhode Island greenlighted supervised injection sites last year, but nothing has launched yet. New York City opened two sites last fall. Around the world, more than 100 safe consumption sites exist in more than a dozen countries.
"There have probably been tens of millions of injections people have done in these sites over the last 35 years," said Kral. "And no one has ever died of an overdose."
Yet, just last year, more than 10,000 people in California and more than 100,000 people nationwide died of an overdose on the streets, at parties or at home.
"That number is really underreported because there are parts of the country that don't have the resources to do toxicology screens on every death," said Ron Brooks, president of the National Narcotic Officers' Associations Coalition.
He estimates the accurate tally could be as high as 140,000 deaths nationwide, which is why he says the overdose crisis is the most significant public health epidemic facing the nation. However, Brooks does not support opening "safe consumption sites" to solve the problem because, he says, there is no safe way to do drugs.
"You can call it what you want to call it. It's an open drug scene," said Anne Marie Schubert, Sacramento County district attorney. "The fact that we're considering allowing our government to essentially aid and abet the illicit use of drugs that are killing our citizens, I find shocking."
Schubert would rather see more court-ordered treatment. She says current law does not allow judges to require nearly enough people to seek help.
However, Gary McCoy says you can't force sobriety. When he finally limped into treatment, AIDS had nearly wiped out his immune system. In fact, he was in such ghastly shape that his drug dealer finally nudged him to seek help, which is why he's now a huge advocate for supervised injection sites.
"I don't know if I would have stopped using sooner, but I certainly would have been in much better hands," he said.
These days on morning strolls through his neighborhood in San Francisco, McCoy chats with people getting high on the streets. He lets them know there's help available – that's the critical nudge outreach workers at safe consumption sites could provide.
The California state assembly must still pass the bill before it would go to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would decide whether to sign it into law. If it passes, piloted sites would be in operation until Jan 1, 2027. While facilities are open, officials would collect data to determine how effective they are.

An Auckland 18-year-old has been named the winner of the 2022 Adam Portraiture Award and will walk away with $20,000.
Jessica Gurnsey's work Lady Day was chosen from 351 nationwide entries and 45 finalists at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata.
Gurnsey is the youngest ever winner of the award and is overwhelmed at the honour.
"I really honoured and humbled to be the recipient of this prestigious award. When I was named a finalist I was blown away but to win is just incredible, especially as I am aware of the talent, experience and skill of the artists shortlisted. It's still sinking in."

Advertise with NZME.Dr Linda Tyler Associate Professor of Art History and Museums and Cultural Heritage at the University of Auckland, and New Zealand artist Karl Maughan worked together over several weeks to select the shortlist and eventually name Gurnsey the winner.
"We were impressed how detailed and revealing this image is of the sitter who reaches out to the viewer as she strikes a pose for the camera in her friend's bedroom," they said.
"She has introduced a detailed view of her friend's bedroom where you can make out photographs and album covers for Lou Reed, Oasis, Talking Heads as well as colourful bedding and cherry red Doc Martens. This is an assured painting which is both compelling and rewards close study."
Gurnsey said the moment of the painting is close to her heart, inspired by her time spent during the Auckland 2021 lockdown.
"This portrait depicts the chaos, charisma, music played, and funky clothes worn while creating lifelong memories, and was painted while cooped up in Auckland's 2021 lockdown.
The pressure to "make the most of life" while you're young, created frustration for teenagers as we departed our adolescence locked up in our homes. I believe the chaos in this portrait reflects the uncertainty and turbulence of the Covid-19 pandemic for youth."

PHOENIX (AP) — Pavin Smith and pinch-hitter Jordan Luplow homered in a five-run sixth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals 8-6 on Tuesday night.
Arizona hit four homers and won for the fifth time in six games. The Diamondbacks lead the National League with 60 homers.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo doesn't want his team to be considered a homer-heavy club.
“I don’t want to say that’s who we are," Lovullo said. "I don’t want us to be known as a home run-hitting team. I want us to be known as good hitters who hit home runs because we are balanced and through the baseball. Our mindset is hard line drives in the middle of the diamond, 90 miles an hour or greater, and good things will take off from there.”
Daulton Varsho and David Peralta also homered for the Diamondbacks, who have 15 homers in their last six games, including seven in a 10-6 victory against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field last Friday. They have 11 comeback victories.
“I've been saying this since the year started — we're going to be an annoying team to play,” Arizona stater Zac Gallen said. “We have a lot of guys in there with something to prove. A lot of guys with chips on their shoulder. We're not going to have names that jump off the page. We grind it."
MJ Melendez homered, doubled and drove in three runs for Kansas City, which has lost six in a row and eight of 10.
“He's a dangerous hitter,” Kansas City manager Mike Matheny said. “He continues to show his power.”
Melendez’s RBI double sparked a three-run sixth inning capped by rookie Dairon Blanco’s two-run single for a 6-3 lead before the Diamondbacks scored five two-out runs in the last of the inning for reliever Joe Mantiply (2-0).
Amir Garrett gave up a walk and a single before being replaced by Taylor Clarke (1-1), who gave up a game-tying three-run homer to Luplow, a 408-footer that hugged the left field line.
Varsho doubled and Smith followed with a 415-foot shot to right, his second in as many games, for an 8-6 lead. Arizona had six homers in sweeping the two-game series.
“You play your role the best you can and you try to grow in that role,” said Luplow, who has two pinch-hit homers this season. “You get the hand that's dealt. I was just looking for something over the middle of the plate. Not trying to do too much with it, and sometimes a lot happens."
Whit Merrifield had two hits for the Royals, who have lost leads of six, four and three runs in their last three games.
“It's hard to have three tougher ones than these three in a row,” Matheny said.
Mark Melancon pitched around a leadoff single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances.
Gallen entered the game with a 1.14 ERA but gave up six runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He had not given up more than two runs and five hits in any of his previous seven starts.
WHAT A RELIEF
Diamondbacks relievers Mantiply, Ian Kennedy, and Noe Ramirez lead the NL lead with 21 appearances after each pitched Tuesday. Mantiply, 2-0 with two saves and an 0.51 ERA, has been scored upon once.
Lovullo said he was “very concerned” about the usage. “I don’t want any of our guys to have 80 appearances this year," he said, "That’s way too many. We embrace close games. We need our horses to go out there protect those games when we are ahead. We’ll be mindful of that. I have to make sure I don’t get anybody hurt.”
BOBBY WITT JR. RETURNS
Bobby Witt Jr. attended Arizona’s clinching Game 7 victory over the New York Yankees in the 2001 World Series at Chase Field and rode in victory parade the next day, although the memories are a little fuzzy. Then again, he was only 16 1/2 months old.
“There are pictures out there with me and the trophy, but I don’t remember any of that,” Witt Jr. said.
Witt’s father Bobby, who was 4-1 with Arizona in 2001 in the final year of his 15-year major league career, was at the games this week.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: C Salvador Perez (left thumb sprain) worked in the batting cage Tuesday and “is trending in a good direction,” manager Mike Matheny said. There is no timetable for Perez’s return. … 3B Emmanuel Rivera (illness) and CF Kyle Isbel (illness) were late scratches. … OF Michael Taylor (covid protocol) missed his sixth straight game.
Diamondbacks: 3B Josh Rojas (left hand contusion) missed his third straight game. … A C-T scan done on RHP Zach Davies (right leg contusion) Tuesday showed no structural damage, although it remains uncertain if he can make his next scheduled start Sunday. He was removed after being struck by a 112-mph line drive from Witt in the fourth inning Monday … C Jose Herrera was activated from the covid list and C Grayson Greiner was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.
UP NEXT
Royals: LHP Daniel Lynch (2-3, 4.01 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Minnesota RHP Joe Ryan (5-2, 2.28) in the opener of a four-game road series Thursday. Lynch gave up four runs in 3 2/3 innings in a 6-4 loss to the Twins in Kansas City last Friday.
Diamondbacks: RHP Humberto Castellanos (3-1, 4.29) is to pitch the opener of a four-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday . The Dodgers have not announced a starter.

Far out in China's western region of Xinjiang, authorities have imprisoned thousands of people from the Uyghur ethnic minority without legal justification.
They've also coerced thousands of Uyghurs into state or factory jobs.
China says these efforts are their attempts to combat terrorism in the region and promote economic growth. And countries including the U.S buy millions of dollars worth of goods exported from Xinjiang every year.
But a new report from C4ADS, a nonprofit data analysis group based in Washington, says those goods that consumers worldwide are buying could be made with forced labor.
Irina Bukharin is the lead analyst on the report, and joined All Things Considered to explain why this is taking place in Xinjiang, and what U.S policymakers may plan to do about it.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
Why is this taking place in Xinjiang?
The Chinese government is interpreting the distinct identity, religion and culture of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in Xinjiang, who are predominantly Muslim, as both a national security threat and as a cultural threat to Chinese unity.
And as such, they've been imprisoning Uyghurs and forcing them into coercive labor conditions, uprooting them from the communities, and sending them to work in fields and factories hundreds of miles from their families.
China has closed off access to Xinjiang, and that makes it harder to prove whether forced labor is happening by talking to people directly. But the Uyghur diaspora has provided overwhelming evidence through sharing their own experiences. Those relatives and community members [share] that forced labor is taking place at a systemic level in Xinjiang.
Who is behind this system of coercion?
It's a mix, stemming from government policies. State owned enterprises can be the ones that are employing Uyghurs and other minorities in these coercive conditions. However, private companies are also the ones that are implementing these policies, and really engaging in the oppressive actions themselves.
What kinds of goods are these workers being forced to make?
Xinjiang has significant agricultural, extractive, and manufacturing sectors, which means these are common products that are entering global supply chains, and they're coming to our houses. In particular, some of the goods that we identified that permeate global supply chains are cotton, tomato based products, pepper based products, and various items of fabric as well as minerals.
Are there broader sanctions coming that the U.S. government is planning on these goods from Xinjiang?
Yes. Last year, Congress passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which is coming into effect this coming June. It, among various other measures, presumes that all goods made in Xinjiang were made with forced labor, and therefore are banned from entering the United States.
What recommendations do you have for policymakers and consumer groups to monitor these goods and address these challenges?
Companies and governments need to invest more in some of the methodologies that C4ADS has used to trace supply chains from Xinjiang. This means relying more on publicly available information. Sometimes this can be easy — there can be a lot of information that is available on the Chinese language internet, and Chinese company websites. That tells you whether or not goods are coming from Xinjiang, but sometimes this can be quite difficult as well.

LEILA FADEL, HOST:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he'll schedule a procedural vote next week on a bill aimed at addressing domestic terrorism. It's called the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022. The House passed it just days after the racist attack in Buffalo, N.Y., an attack President Biden has referred to as an act of domestic terrorism. But only one House Republican voted for it. Shortly after the vote, I spoke with House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer.
So let's start with why you think the country needs this law. Because I think of the Patriot Act passed over 20 years ago, and it led to the chipping away of constitutional liberties, government overreach, the racial and religious profiling of Arab and Muslim communities. Could this have the potential to do the same thing?
STENY HOYER: Well, I certainly hope not. But as you may recall, in this procedure, we had this bill and we were about to bring it to the floor. And there were a number of questions raised that it was not defined sufficiently, that the ACLU, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and a number of other organizations had concerns that its targeting would be not what was intended but in a broader way so that it would put at risk constitutional First Amendment rights. We took it back to the drawing boards, and we modified the language so to be sure that it was focused on domestic terrorism. But in any event, we think that we have ensured that this language will not adversely affect in the way that you just described.
FADEL: But the Republicans do sort of voice those grievances, that this would pin a domestic terrorism label on people, for example, parents who criticize their school boards.
HOYER: I think there's a clear distinction between bringing your grievances, making your points made, but you cross the line when you threaten people with death, as the insurrectionists of January 6 did, saying that they wanted to kill the vice president of the United States or they wanted to kill the speaker of the House of Representatives. That clearly is not the kind of political debate that our constitutional framers had in mind. And we think this bill makes that distinction and makes it properly.
FADEL: And how does that apply to white supremacism and white supremacist groups?
HOYER: The distinction is, is it a First Amendment - they articulated a particular position. That's one thing. But when they articulate a particular position and then plan or advocate and perpetrate acts of violence in furtherance of that ideology, whether it's a hate ideology, a bigoted ideology, a replacement ideology, if that leads to action and proposal for action and plans for action, then that crosses the line legally. And from a security standpoint, we need to have agencies that can deal with that before, as we saw in Buffalo, 10 people being killed or we've seen in too many places.
FADEL: What happens to this? I mean, will it even pass the Senate? Is there any hope for it?
HOYER: I don't know whether it'll pass the Senate. Unfortunately, the Senate is too frequently a place that good bills supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans go to die. And that's because of the filibuster and the need to pass a bill with 60 votes, not 50 votes. And I've urged to the Senate to eliminate the filibuster so that the majority could rule. Otherwise the people's will can be subverted by a minority.
FADEL: So does this bill then just become politics? I mean, we're coming up on the midterms. Is this an attempt by the Democrats to get something, anything done? I mean, you got a big infrastructure package passed but nothing on climate change, nothing on gun control. The child care tax credit wasn't extended. Is it an attempt to get something to stick?
HOYER: Certainly, we want to pass this. We want to see it become law because we think it's good policy and it's protection of people from the results of hate and prejudice and bigotry. Sadly, 40% of the American people are like 75% of the Senate. So the Senate is, in many ways, not a representative body of the majority of Americans. Having said that, we're going to keep trying to pass legislation that we think the American people thinks is appropriate. And I can't believe that the majority of American people do not believe that we are not - ought not to be trying to prevent hate groups engendering and inciting the kind of activity that we saw in Buffalo, N.Y., and that we've seen so many places around this country resulting in the deaths of many, many, many people.
FADEL: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, thank you so much for your time.
HOYER: You bet. Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.kenw.org/2022-05-20/the-house-has-approved-a-bill-to-fight-domestic-terrorism | 2022-05-25T07:44:07Z | https://www.kenw.org/2022-05-20/the-house-has-approved-a-bill-to-fight-domestic-terrorism | true | 41 |
Spy chief nominee says N. Korea apparently has no will to denuclearize on its own

Seoul, May 25 North Korea appears to have no intent on giving up its nuclear weapons on its own, South Korea's state Intelligence Chief Nominee said on Wednesday.
Kim Kyou-hyun, named to lead the National Intelligence Service, presented the view during his parliamentary confirmation hearing, just hours after Pyongyang fired three ballistic missiles into the East Sea amid concerns it may even carry out another nuclear test soon, Yonhap news agency reported.
"I think North Korea scarcely has a will to denuclearise on its own," Kim added.
On the Covid-19 outbreak in the North, he said people there appear not to have received vaccinations, while it remains unconfirmed whether or not leader Kim has been vaccinated.
The North seems to have received emergency medical supplies from China, he said.
Kim, formerly a veteran diplomat and senior presidential aide, voiced skepticism over the North's daily report of suspected coronavirus infections and deaths, saying, "The figures are hard to believe."
"There is no way to verify (the numbers) objectively, but it seems to be far from the truth," he said.
North Korea has claimed its outbreak of Covid-19 has been slowing down in recent days, with the total number of fever cases since late April standing at more than 3.06 million.

Singaporeans Spot Rare Iridescent Clouds That Look Like Northern Lights
To see beautiful sights such as the Northern Lights, we often have to travel to faraway places. But once in a while, Mother Nature surprises us with rare wonders right here in Singapore.
On Tuesday (24 May) evening, residents were treated to a stunning sight as they looked above them. Instead of clear blue skies, Singaporeans were greeted with iridescent clouds that looked like a local version of the Northern Lights.
The rare phenomenon was seen across Singapore from the Central Business District to various heartland districts.
Singaporeans spot iridescent clouds on 24 May evening
In many of the shots, the clouds looked as if it was concealing a rainbow.
From Tampines, the clouds were a mix of orange, blue, green and violet hues, which reminded residents of the Paddle Pop ice cream bar.
Other netizens likened the majestic halo around the clouds to a flying saucer.
Netizen spots phoenix cloud formation
As the rainbow clouds appeared, another netizen spotted a phoenix-shaped cloud formation from Alexandra.
In an enhanced version of the picture, the ‘phoenix’ seemed to be flying towards the iridescent clouds.
Needless to say, the clouds looked stunning regardless of where they were seen from.
A reminder to stop and stare at natural wonders
Natural wonders like these never fail to amaze us and serve as reminders for us to take a break to appreciate our surroundings.
MS News expresses our appreciation to the eagle-eyed netizens for preserving the memory of these rare clouds, offering others a chance to marvel at Mother Nature’s beauty.

MAN, W.Va. — Punching your ticket to state is good, but getting a bit of revenge while doing it is even better.
The Wahama baseball team will be going dancing for the first time in six years after beating the Man Hillbillies on the road 5-1 Tuesday evening to win the Region IV Championship.
The White Falcons (25-5) won Game 1 of the series 10-0 in six innings at home Monday.
It was the Hillbillies (20-11) who ended the White and Red’s 2021 campaign, so the road team was looking to even the score.
Tuesday’s ballgame was very defense-heavy to start, with both squads struggling to get much offense going through the first three innings.
The White Falcons got on the board in a big way in the top of the fourth inning, with Aaron Henry hitting a 2-run homer over the right field wall to bring himself and Ethan Gray home.
The White and Red added onto their score in the fifth, netting three more runs to take a 5-0 lead.
First, Henry was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, allowing Ethyn Barnitz to come home.
Trey Ohlinger followed that up with a single to bring in Logan Roach.
Hayden Lloyd finished things by hitting a single to bring home Gray.
However, the Hillbillies slightly cut into the Wahama lead, getting one run in the bottom of the fifth.
The White Falcon defense was able to keep Man to one runner through the last two innings of the ballgame, sealing the win.
Along with the home run, Henry got the win on the pitcher’s mound for the White Falcons, allowing only three hits, one run and five walks while striking out seven in 6.2 innings pitched.
Bryce Zuspan took over on the mound to get that game-clinching final out.
Wahama head coach Billy Zuspan said Henry was a huge part in the White Falcons’ victory.
“When you put him on the mound, he just goes out there and competes,” he said. “He gave us 110 great pitches, then you add the home run onto that.”
Since their loss to Ravenswood in the winner’s bracket final of the Section 2 tournament, the White and Red have won five consecutive games — something Zuspan said has to do with his team’s drive.
“They’re always hungry for the next win,” he said. “Now we’re going to reset and get ready for this trip to Charleston. They’ve been looking forward to this for a long time so we’ll see how it goes.”
The White Falcons outhit their opponents 5-3 and committed one error.
Leading the White and Red in hits was Nathan Fields with two.
Rounding out the Wahama hitting were Henry, Ohlinger and Lloyd.
Getting hits for the Hillbillies were Jace Adkins, Brady Hall-Montgomery and Braxton Messer.
The 2022 WVSSAC Class A Baseball Championships start June 2 at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston.

DONNA, Texas (AP) — The head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that he is developing a new policy for vehicle pursuits with an eye toward increasing safety after a spate of deaths.
Commissioner Chris Magnus, who took over the nation’s largest law enforcement agency in December, told The Associated Press that the policy is expected “soon” and will be made public. It will rely on extensive discussion with people inside and outside the Border Patrol, data analysis and a review of practices at other law enforcement agencies.
Magnus, a former police chief in Tucson, Arizona, informed Border Patrol agents of his plans during a visit to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, the busiest corridor for illegal border crossings, telling them it was “an issue that I want to look at.”
“I appreciate that a lot of agents get very nervous when they hear that,” Magnus said during an interview at a migrant holding facility in Donna, the site of extreme overcrowding last year. “That is not uncharacteristic of police officers in every department I’ve ever worked in, but you still have to come back to the reality that a professional law enforcement agency continually evaluates its tactics with one key thing in mind, and that is the safety of the public. And the public actually includes the agents themselves, who are often injured or killed in these pursuits.”
CBP, as the Border Patrol’s parent agency is known, has been working with the Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit advisory group that develops police policies. CBP has also informed some advocates who have been pressing for change.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents agents, said he couldn’t comment without knowing specifics.
Although CBP doesn’t disclose the number of Border Patrol car chases, the American Civil Liberties Union chapters in Texas and New Mexico said 22 people were killed in such pursuits last year, up from 14 in 2020 and two in 2019.
There have been 75 people killed in Border Patrol pursuits since January 2010, according to the ACLU, which based its numbers on CBP statements and news reports.
The agency’s own numbers show 537 use-of-force incidents classified as “vehicle/vessel” involving CBP employees in the 12-month period through September, up from 210 the previous year and 161 the year before that. The agency is not more specific about how force was used.
Shaw Drake, an attorney for the ACLU of Texas, said the policy review was “certainly a welcome step in the right direction” but that it was difficult to comment without specifics.
The current policy, which is 19 pages long, is likely difficult for many agents to interpret and lacks specifics on how to weigh law enforcement benefits against risks when deciding whether to pursue someone, Drake said.
“What we see in practice is that agents will engage in pursuits really on the basis of zero information and under any circumstances,” Drake said.
Earlier this month, Magnus said the Biden administration was disbanding evidence collection teams within the Border Patrol after critics said they were secretive and put the agency in an untenable position of investigating itself in cases that might involve agent misconduct. The “critical incident teams” will cease operations by Oct. 1. | https://www.fox21news.com/news/national/border-agency-plans-vehicle-pursuit-policy-to-raise-safety/ | 2022-05-25T07:51:26Z | https://www.fox21news.com/news/national/border-agency-plans-vehicle-pursuit-policy-to-raise-safety/ | false | 48 |

"The members of the consortium purchasing the club are affiliates of the Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., Todd Boehly, Hansjorg Wyss and Mark Walter." "Chelsea FC will now work with the relevant governments to secure the necessary licences to complete the takeover."
The Boehly-Clearlake consortium, which agreed terms to acquire Chelsea for 4.25 billion pounds ($5.33 billion) earlier this month, passed the Premier League Owners` and Directors` Test, the league said on Tuesday, paving the way for the club`s takeover.
The proposal also needs approval from the British government before the consortium can complete the acquisition, with a week remaining before the club`s current operating licence expires on May 31. "The Board has applied the Premier League`s Owners` and Directors` Test (OADT) to all prospective Directors, and undertaken the necessary due diligence," the league said in a statement.

The British government is set to approve the sale after Chelsea`s Russian owner Roman Abramovich gave assurances he will not benefit from the deal, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.
Currently subject to sanctions by the British government, Abramovich put the London club up for sale in early March following Russia`s invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a "special military operation".
Abramovich dismissed reports that he wanted a loan given to the club, reportedly worth 1.5 billion pounds ($1.88 billion), to be repaid.
Chelsea previously confirmed all proceeds from the sale, which would be placed in a frozen UK bank account, will be donated to charitable causes by Abramovich. Groups led by Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca and former British Airways chairman Martin Broughton were earlier eliminated from the bidding process while a consortium led by Chicago Cubs owners the Ricketts family pulled out of the running. | https://www.wionews.com/sports/premier-league-gives-green-signal-to-proposed-takeover-of-chelsea-by-todd-boehly-led-consortium-481995 | 2022-05-25T07:53:02Z | https://www.wionews.com/sports/premier-league-gives-green-signal-to-proposed-takeover-of-chelsea-by-todd-boehly-led-consortium-481995 | true | 7 |
A pensioner from Derbyshire has been jailed for five years for committing sexual offences against three young girls. The youngest of his victims was just 11 years old at the time. Patrick Costello, of Sun Street in Woodville, appeared in Derby Crown Court charged with 13 offences, of which he denied 10, forcing victims to give evidence and relive their ordeals.
The 68-year-old was found guilty by a jury of all ten charges which included several counts of gross indecency with a girl under 16, sexual activity with a child aged 13-17 and voyeurism. The court heard how Costello repeatedly committed acts of gross indecency over the bodies of two young victims whilst they were asleep.
He also filmed one of the girls showering and watched whilst she changed in her bedroom. Costello's voyeurism continued when another girl became an adult and he watched her in the shower. Costell had previously admitted to making indecent images of a child, one count of voyeurism and possessing extreme animal pornography.

The pensioner was sentenced at Derby Crown Court on 18 May and, in addition to the prison term, was handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a notification requirement for when he has served the custodial sentence.
Detective Staff Investigator Lindsey Scribbins, who led on the case said: “I am so proud of the courageous and dignified way in which the three (now) women affected by Costello’s crimes have conducted themselves during this investigation and subsequent trial.
“Costello’s behaviour was truly abhorrent. His offending was predatory, pre-meditated, and repeated, against three young girls when they were at their most vulnerable. My message for anyone out there who has been affected by sexual abuse or violence of any kind – whether now or in the past – is please come and speak to the police about what happened to you.
“The survivors, in this case, came forward in recent years, despite the onset of this offending happening in the 90s. This shows that even cases of non-recent sexual abuse can result in a conviction. If you feel able, please report what happened to you -- we will listen, we will support you, and we will not judge.”
Costello's first offence dates back to 1992 with the most recent being in 2016. | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/derbyshire-pensioner-serious-danger-underage-7124117 | 2022-05-25T07:57:44Z | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/derbyshire-pensioner-serious-danger-underage-7124117 | false | 1 |

It is evident that Samuel Mugota, the victim of the brutal shooting in Mirema Drive lived a secretive life.
Samuel Mugota was shot six times in the chest by a man who the police now say was well known to him. His killer shot him and then fled in a white Toyota Premio parked on the other side of the road.
As of yesterday, Dennis Karani was arraigned as the main mastermind behind the shooting. The authorities revealed that Karani was the driver of the gateway vehicle as they intensify investigations to identify the shooter captured on camera.
When the story of Mugota’s shooting made the airwaves, it was revealed that Mugota had two wives, one Winnie Wambui who claimed to have lived with the deceased for 16 years, and another, Ruth Kamene who was identified as the legitimate wife by the family.

Wambui said that her husband was a former police officer who later started an electronics business although the police insisted that Mugota was never in the service.
Wambui who resides along Kenyatta Road in Kiambu and shared three children with the deceased, also stated that every time she sought to find out what he did for a living, they got into a heated exchange.
New details now emerging have unearthed Mugota’s two other wives, bringing the count to 4. One Anne Wanja aged 32, a resident in Kahawa Wendani and Salome Wairimu, aged 28 who resides in Githurai 45.
According to Wairimu, she met the deceased this year in March and they fell in love. Mugota apparently claimed he was working at the Ministry of Livestock in Nairobi.
Wairimu further described Mugota as a committed family man as he paid her rent for the whole year and consistently sent upkeep money.

On the other hand, Wanja told officers that she met Mugota at an entertainment joint two years ago and they started living together.
Mugota is said to have told Wanja that he was unmarried and dealt in the motor vehicle business. The deceased quickly took over Wanja’s responsibilities, paid her rent and school fees for her child.
However, Wanja revealed that there were tough times in their relationship as any attempts she made to ask Mugota to formalize their union were labeled nagging.
The wives further recounted that their ‘estranged husband’ was very secretive and had laid down tough rules that they followed.

Notably, he never drank nor smoked and never allowed any of his wives to send him messages or call once he left the house.
Apparently, he operated by the rule that when he needed someone, he would be the one to call.
“From the word go, he set the rules that I should never call him when he was away from home. He used to say: ‘When I need you, I’ll call you,” Wairimu told the police as quoted by Standard.
Detectives had revealed that Mugota had 7 wives at the time of his demise. However, so far only four have come forward.
The suspected driver of the gateway car used in the shooting incident was yesterday arraigned with the court allowing detectives to hold him for 14 more days as investigations into the same continue.

An 18-year-old Chicago man has been charged with first-degree murder; prosecutors say he shot and killed a man outside his residence for making too much noise with his vehicle.
An arrest warrant states that witnesses identified Gaven Leon, 18, as the gunman who fatally shot 30-year-old Ryan Balbag, and Leon turned himself over to authorities on Sunday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.
The shooting occurred near the intersection of Irving Park Road and Pulaski Road at around 11:30 p.m. while Balbag was sitting at a red light with two others in the vehicle, CWB Chicago reported. Prosecutors said Leon used a laser-light equipped rifle to fire a shot at Balbag’s van from his apartment window, according to the Sun-Times. A witness inside the apartment allegedly saw Leon unjam his gun after the initial shot before reloading the weapon and firing a second shot at the van.
“One of the bullets flew through the back of Balbag’s head,” CWB Chicago reported. “He died at the hospital two days later.”
Two witnesses helped to identify Leon as the gunman, prosecutors noted, per the Sun-Times. They said the witness inside the unit with Leon identified him as the shooter, and the other was at a gas station and identified the defendant’s building as the source of the gunshot.
“Leon allegedly showed another person the gun after the attack and admitted that he ‘shot someone because their car was being too loud,'” according to the outlet.
Prosecutors said images and video from the shooting scene were recovered from Leon’s phone during the investigation, which purported to show him “trolling” officers, according to the Sun-Times.
“This is legendary footage right here… Who would do such a thing?” One of the videos allegedly shows him saying. “Thank you for coming. Appreciate it. They said somebody got to shooting. I know who did it, too. I know who was shooting, too. This s- is funny as hell. We just toying with their a-.”
Authorities also recovered an image from January 30 allegedly showing that he shot another vehicle for doing “burnouts,” according to the CWB Chicago.
A man named James Armband, who set up a GoFundMe page for Balbag’s family, called the victim “one of the best humans that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.” | https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2022/05/24/prosecutors-chicago-man-fatally-shoots-motorist-due-to-his-loud-van/ | 2022-05-25T08:09:36Z | https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2022/05/24/prosecutors-chicago-man-fatally-shoots-motorist-due-to-his-loud-van/ | true | 1 |

Community members gathered at Burns Park Sunday evening to attend a public power festival hosted by Ann Arbor for Public Power (A2P2), a non-profit organization advocating for the city to municipalize its energy utility and replace DTE Energy, the private utility company currently serving Ann Arbor, with a publicly owned energy utility. The Sunday festival featured live music, educational booths and speeches from guest speakers.
Based on a report by the energy commission, the City Council approved a resolution on Jan. 18 to request a feasibility study and explore options for 100% renewable energy sources. Currently, 90% of DTE’s energy comes from non-renewable sources. 41 towns and cities in Michigan are served by public power utilities.
A2P2 President Greg Woodring spoke on why A2P2 organized the festival in an interview with The Michigan Daily, citing City Council’s approval of the feasibility study as reason to celebrate and continue advocating for public power.
“We have had this campaign for a little over two years by now,” Woodring said. “We’ve gotten a study approved with the city. Today we want to celebrate that success and explain to people that now is the time for public power, that we have a real chance at doing something huge here.”
Lauren Sargent, an A2P2 member and an organizer of Sunday’s festival, told The Daily she believes a municipal energy utility is necessary to make sure the city’s electricity is 100% from renewable sources.
“There is a method called Community Choice Aggregation that some states have where we could have a choice of where we buy our power and that we could choose to buy power that is generated through 100% renewable energy,” Sargent said. “But that is not legal in Michigan. The other possibility is that we could build our own utility, and we build it and control it … we already have a legal framework for that.”
State Rep. Yousef Rabhi, D-Ann Arbor, who has endorsed A2P2’s mission, was one of the festival’s featured speakers.
“What could we do if we did not take our money and send it to Wall Street?” Rabhi said. “What could we do with that money as a community? Well, there’s only one way to find out: making our own municipal utility right here, reclaiming our power and making sure our money is staying in our community and invested in our grid right here at home.”
The festival also featured educational booths to spread awareness about public power and other topics related to sustainability and the environment.
Ernesto Querijero, a Washtenaw Community College faculty member and a trustee at the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education, set up a table where he and his wife gave out free books regarding different energy sources and their environmental impacts. In an interview with The Daily Querijero spoke on their motivation for setting up the booth.
“We know one of the problems oftentimes is access,” Querijero said. “So we try to purchase books that we think about consciously, and then we want to make sure that everybody has access to them. Sometimes we ask people to share them too.”
Rising Public Policy senior Joe Timmer organized a game table with Zackariah Farah, 2022 U-M graduate and A2P2 spokesperson. The two designed trivia questions to educate the public about A2P2 and municipal energy. Timmer said his involvement with A2P2 aligns with his academic interest in energy policy and offers him first-hand insight into local policy making.
“I was made aware of (A2P2) at Festifall in the fall semester and it (sounded) interesting to me,” Timmer said. “I later saw the news about the feasibility study (being) passed, and I thought it was a local way to get involved. We’re trying to find a way beyond just personal decisions to make an influence on our electric grid and climate change in general.”
Festival attendees included both Ann Arbor residents and U-M students such as Rackham student Liam Connolly. Connolly said he took this festival as an opportunity to be informed about local policy initiatives in the area.
“Since I am from out of state, my vote is really going to be important in the local elections here,” Connolly said. “I need to register to vote and get informed before that. The turnout today really reflects the diversity of people who are interested in public power.”
City Councilmember Kathy Griswold, D-Ward 2, also attended the festival. In an interview with The Daily, Griswold spoke on how A2P2 could impact the city’s response to climate change and the resources needed to accomplish A2P2’s mission.
“If we’re going to have municipal power, we just need to make sure that there is an oversight board from the city that is ensuring that we have reliable power,” Griswold said. “We have experts overseeing the cleanup of the dioxane plume, and I would like to have a similar group of community experts for electricity, too.”
Moving forward, Woodring said, A2P2 would continue to push the city to be more transparent in the feasibility study and to work on a municipal power ballot initiative in the coming years.
“We’re hoping that the city will move forward with a transparent process and include us in that process of selecting a contractor,” Woodring said. “We are also coming up with a ballot campaign in the next coming years that would authorize the creation of the utility and tell the city to begin negotiations to buy DTE assets. It’s a tough battle, but it’s a battle we could win.”

The metaverse is a virtual world that allows millions of players to live beyond their immediate environment. With blockchain technology, users can create, own and utilize digital assets while interacting with other people in the virtual space.
Cornucopias ‘The Island’ is a play-to-earn, build-to-earn, learn-to-earn, host-to-earn MMORPG game powered by the blockchain. In a world of unique domes, players can own land and other NFT-based assets which can be traded with other users on Cornucopias’ marketplace and many secondary market places. Cornucopias is a fun, safe and expanding metaverse with one of the most positive and engaged communities of any blockchain-based project.
With the excitement of metaverse innovation sweeping the globe, there is an extremely high demand for the first Cornucopias land sale, which is expected to sell out in record time. Cornucopias NFT projects have a track record of completing successful sales with the right balance of supply and demand. For example, Cornucopias NFT2tree philanthropic NFTs sold out in under 20 seconds and planted close to 50,000 trees in Senegal, Africa, and that number increases daily in perpetuity. Bubblejett NFTs sold out with Mythic rarity hitting over 100x value on secondary markets. In addition, the GTI Javelin NFT sold out despite experiencing a system pause, and the community benefited when the Cornucopias team decided to gift the GTI Javelin NFTs for free to thank their extremely positive community for their patience.
Dominating the Blockchain Gaming Industry
The main objective of Cornucopias is to lead the metaverse industry through its highly innovative ecosystem. Furthermore, the Cardano blockchain supports the game with a thriving community passionate about physical and digital projects. Therefore, Cornucopias is gaining the attention of metaverse enthusiasts, gamers and the mainstream audience around the world, with new members joining the community at a highly accelerated rate.
Cornucopias ‘The Island’ is more than just a blockchain-based game because participants can do more. In traditional gaming, players repeatedly pay through micro-transactions, subscription fees, DLC packages, and other money-grabbing mechanisms that generate over $300 billion in annual revenue for traditional game developers. As large traditional game developers struggle to crack the code on the blockchain-based games that are the future of the industry, Cornucopias is perfectly positioned to claim a large portion of the gaming industry pie.
The new gaming model is with NFT assets, it provides the exact opposite user experience. Instead of repeatedly making in-game purchases to ‘unlock’ game content, players only need one purchase to own an NFT for life, or sell it on the secondary market. The benefits of this ownership for players include a plethora of perks, rewards, and privileges. As a result, owning a Cornucopias NFT allows players to possess an ‘unprecedented utility’ that unlocks various features and in-game advantages, with the future of using those same owned assets in other games and on other blockchains.
Participants are freed from paying monthly membership fees because the Cornucopias game is free-to-play, which gives everyone on the planet the ability to take advantage of the opportunity to join the metaverse, and play the games it contains and much more. Players can sell their NFTs, trade them with someone else, or stake them for additional rewards.
In addition, ‘The Island’ combines gaming with real-world commerce and gives opportunities for
traditional and e-commerce companies to own land in the metaverse, sell and promote their real-world brands, goods and services to a hard-to-reach global audience that they have potentially never had access to before.
The project is easily accessible worldwide and is built on the latest Unreal Engine 5 games engine. This software makes the game compatible with PCs, mobile phones, game consoles and smart TVs. As a result of Cornucopias’ bold strategy to become the first AAA UE5 blockchain based game, Cornucopias is ahead of the competition and already has the attention of global brands, the growing crypto community, game developers, 3D artists, and the game enthusiasts that will power and run the governance of the self sustaining ecosystem.
More development for the future
The NFT2Tree mints are a test program for Cornucopias internal NFT sale, mint and marketplace system, which will be used in the upcoming land sale, and an opportunity to provide real-world eco and sustainability value, with all monies from the sale going to plant trees in Senegal, Africa. As a project that wants to impact both the digital and physical world, Cornucopias intends to kick off many other philanthropic NFTs.
Furthermore, 100% of the secondary market sales commission will be used to plant real trees into perpetuity, with the hope of automatically sustaining an increasing positive impact.
Cornucopias is also launching the first of many mobile mini-games in Q3 2022, the PC game in Q4 2022 and consoles in 2024 to maintain its highly aggressive road map.
About Cornucopias
Cornucopias ‘The Island’ is a massive play-to-earn, build-to-earn, host-to-earn, and learn-to-earn blockchain-based game where players can be rewarded with and/or own land, properties and other NFT-based assets with real-world value, all by playing games in a fun and safe metaverse.

Submarine service is one of the areas where the presence of female officers remains at zero levels in Korea. The Navy has decided to allow enlisted women to serve aboard submarines as well, and will select the first eligible officers next year.
[Pkg]
The Dosan Ahn Changho is Korea's first 3000-ton submarine, which was deployed by the Navy last year. All of its 50 crew members are men. But soon enlisted women will also be allowed to serve aboard the vessel. Their number will be limited to three. The first eligible servicewomen will be selected early next year. They will receive training before starting their service in 2024. The Navy says it's preparing to accommodate servicewomen on board the submarine and will finalize the plan at a policy meeting. The decision comes eight years after the matter was discussed for the first time. Thanks to the relatively spacious accommodations of the 3000-ton submarine, male and female soldiers can use facilities separately and work together without problems. Although naval rules ban gender discrimination, female officers have been restricted from serving on submarines so far due to lack of space and other inconveniences. However, creating conditions for their long service remains an issue. Every year, 35 million won is invested in training professional submarine crew members. But in the past five years, about 53 percent of male crew members have shunned serving on submarines, choosing early discharge instead.
[Soundbite] Moon Keun-shik(Former Submarine Captain) : "Benchmarking examples from overseas is needed to eliminate any conflicts by separating space and time."
Of the 38 countries around the world that have submarines, 12, including the U.S. and the U.K., allow female crew members.

As for the new Pride watch face, it will be available today, and requires Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watchOS 8.6, and iPhone 6s or later running iOS 15.5. Both the Pride Edition Sport Loop and the Pride Edition Nike Sport Loop are compatible with any Apple Watch.
Pride Edition Sport Loop Band
“In its seventh year, the Apple Watch Pride Edition bands and watch faces illustrate the ways in which the company stands with, supports, and is proudly made up of the LGBTQ+ community”, says Apple. Utilising the comfortable, durable, and adjustable Sport Loop design, Apple used a new technique to remove several of the double-layer nylon-woven textile loops on the band to reveal the word “pride” in a cursive style inspired by the original “hello” greeting — displayed on the first Macintosh in 1984 — giving the word a novel, three-dimensional look and feel.
The team designed a colour gradient that incorporates the original rainbow colours with those drawn from various pride flags, including light blue, pink, and white, representing transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, and black and brown, symbolising Black and Latinx communities. The colours also represent those who are living with or have passed away from HIV/AIDS.
Pride Threads Watch Face
Inspired by multiple pride flags, this new watch face combines colours to represent the strength and mutual support of the LGBTQ+ movement. Mirroring the woven loops of the Sport Loop, each strand of vibrant thread contributes to the overall composition of the watch face. The colourful threads move as the Digital Crown on Apple Watch is rotated, the display is tapped, or the user’s wrist is raised. Apple is also including new App Clip functionality within the band packaging to deliver a simple and convenient way for customers to immediately access the new matching watch face.

India is on everybody’s mind. Its relationship with Russia during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine has become a headache for much of the United Nations, while the continued rise of China has renewed engagement amongst the Quad, an informal security agreement between the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India. In this context some argue that the Quad should be integrated into a more formal military alliance – an “Asian NATO” – to develop a shared security commitment in the face of rising threats.
These arguments get the causality backwards. States do not see threats better because they ally; they ally because they see threats. The Biden administration should not pressure India into an “Asian NATO” because such an endeavor would lack conditions of support, lead to unintended consequences, and divert attention away from important non-military affairs currently addressed by the Quad, such as public health and infrastructure security.
Right now, the Quad is an informal alignment for engaging on security issues that include everything from public health and supply-chain resilience. While its remit can be vague, the alignment has led to concrete gains in areas including nuclear collaboration and joint naval exercises. Instead of focusing on Chinese containment, it supports broad goals grounded in India’s insistence that it must be “for something, not against somebody.”
The basic rule of alliances is that they must provide a public good for all states involved. States will only balance in the presence of what they deem a true threat.
India’s declining military spending shows it doesn’t perceive China as a significant threat. States calculate threats based on size, proximity, and military power. While China’s economy is the largest in the world in terms of domestic output, its long-term economic outlook is much weaker due to lockdowns, increasing instability, and demographic burdens. The mountainous geography that separates the two also makes it difficult to launch an invasion that could capture significant territory or overthrow the Indian government.
Formalizing an alliance will also lead to unintended consequences. If someone else helps cover your defense in a fight, you’re more likely to drag it out. This is a big concern regarding India, a state that still has disputes with fellow nuclear powers such as Pakistan and China. In particular, India and Pakistan remain the only nuclear states to engage in sustained military conflict. While thankfully this dispute didn’t end in nuclear war, an alliance would put us in uncharted territory.
Finally, a formal agreement would be a fossilized one. Historically, alliances focus on defense spending, military coordination, and technology sharing. The Ukrainian crisis shows that great powers now primarily fight one another through economic means, such as sanctions and asset seizures. The Quad can be an opportunity to focus on preventative action such as limiting China’s economic influence from Huawei and the Belt and Road Initiative. Keeping the Quad as an informal alignment limited to the founders would give everyone more voice and keep the focus on infrastructure and economic development.
While an Asian NATO could help India decouple from Russia, this is unnecessary because the process is already underway. Proponents point to India’s abstention from the U.N. Security Council, purchase of Russian arms and fuel, and discussions on developing a ruble-rupee trade mechanism as signs that the commitment remains strong. However, these actions reflect the long-incurred fixed costs of the India-Russia relationship that goes back to 1971 and India’s decades-long reliance on Russian infrastructure. That path-dependence won’t change overnight even in a crisis as big as this one. Regardless, India shows signs of voluntarily decoupling by reducing its share of Russian arms and engaging with the West on new deals for military infrastructure.
If decoupling is in India’s best interest, the reason it may take a while is due to domestic concerns, not international ones. Weak state capacity and fragmentation across ethnocultural lines make it difficult to develop a long-term strategy grounded in power politics. Since these issues can’t be addressed by international pressure, the best option is to engage on India’s terms as it continues to improve and centralize state capacity.
The desire to confront China is unnecessary given the trajectory of the India-China relationship. While China has pushed for diplomatic engagement, relations remain testy due to the recent standoff in eastern Ladakh. The two’s economic relationship is likely to weaken further due to “Atmanirbhar Bharat”; India’s plan to shift away from supply-chain risks, especially in China.
Alliances don’t create interests; they recognize them. The Quad provides us with the tools we need to address the real security issues of economic competition and health coordination. An “Asian NATO” with India would not only distract us but create new problems and conflicts. The Biden administration should ignore such calls and focus on harnessing institutions as they exist and working with states as they are.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree on Tuesday to step up fines for environmental crimes, according to the official government gazette, in a move to allow more aggressive protection of the Amazon rainforest.
Reuters exclusively reported earlier in the day that Bolsonaro was expected to sign the executive order as soon as Tuesday.
The decree raises the potential value of fines for falsifying documents to cover up illegal logging, clarifies heavier consequences for repeat environmental offenders and will help to reduce the backlog of fines pending collection.
Environmental fines – which also target infractions such as unauthorized hunting, fishing and pollution – are one of Brazil’s key tools for combating illegal deforestation.
Best of Express Premium
The decree, which goes into effect immediately, is one of the first concrete steps the Bolsonaro government has made to bolster Amazon protections following its commitment to end illegal deforestation by 2028 at the COP26 U.N. climate summit in November.
Preserving the Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, is vital to preventing catastrophic climate change because of the vast amounts of climate-warming carbon it stores.
The decree also marks a reversal for Bolsonaro, an ardent critic of environmental fines. In his 2018 campaign, the right-wing former army captain railed against an “industry of fines” created by environmental agencies to persecute farmers. He has continued to criticize fines in the run-up to this October’s presidential election.
Bolsonaro’s office and the Environment Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
Under the decree, falsifying documents to introduce illegal timber into legal supply chains will bear an additional penalty of 300 reais ($58.62) per cubic meter, with a maximum fine of 50 million reais. The previous cap for defrauding the lumber tracking system was 1 million reais.
The decree also undoes some of the red tape created by Bolsonaro himself. Shortly after assuming office in 2019, the president signed an order that gave individuals and companies accused of environmental crimes the right to “reconciliation hearings” that can reduce or cancel penalties.
Those hearings came in addition to an existing system to adjudicate fines that already allowed for multiple appeals.
A Reuters investigation last year showed that the added bureaucratic step, without adequate government staff to hold the hearings, meant 17,000 fines had piled up and gone uncollected as they awaited audiences.
“Fines are very important for stopping deforestation, to scare off illegal deforesters … principally in the Amazon,” said Jose Sarney Filho, former environment minister from 2016 to 2018. “This new step discredited fines as a tool.”
As fines have gone uncollected, deforestation of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest continued to accelerate.
Deforestation surged to a 15-year high in 2021, according to government satellite data. Preliminary figures show destruction set a fresh record for the period of January to April this year.
The new decree requires those facing fines to ask for a “reconciliation” appeals hearing rather than being automatically granted one, a move that could reduce the backlog.
POLICY SHIFT
The decree adds to Bolsonaro’s efforts since last year to show that his government is taking environmental protection more seriously, following pressure from European and American leaders to protect the Amazon rainforest.
Bolsonaro brought forward the country’s emissions neutrality target during a White House Earth Day summit in April 2021. He told the U.N. General Assembly in September that Brazil was doubling its environmental enforcement budget.
At the November U.N. climate summit in Glasgow, Brazil committed to stop illegal deforestation by 2028.
But up until now, few policy changes have reflected a plan to keep those promises, as evidence of deforestation continues to rise, according to Ana Karine Pereira, an environmental policy professor at University of Brasilia.
The 2021 enforcement budget went mostly unspent, restaffing of key conservation agencies has been slow and Bolsonaro still calls for more mining and commercial farming in the Amazon.
When speaking to his political base among farmers, Bolsonaro also continues to criticize environmental fines.
In January this year, Bolsonaro told an agricultural event that a reduction in environmental fines was a mark of his government’s success.
“We ended major environmental problems, especially with regard to fines. Do they have to exist? Yes. But we discussed it and reduced fines in the field by more than 80%,” Bolsonaro said.
Environmental enforcement agency Ibama did not reply to questions about official data to back up Bolsonaro’s estimate. ($1 = 5.1179 reais)

Pretoria – The Skukuza Regional Court has sentenced convicted poacher, 47-year-old Sam Khoza to a “well-deserved” nine years imprisonment after he was arrested in the Kruger National Park.
“The accused was sentenced following an incident in which three armed intruders entered the Kruger National Park through a section on 11 November 2020. However, they were spotted by the field rangers who were on duty that day. It is said that when the three men noticed the field rangers, a shooting ensued,” said Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala.
Two of the suspected poachers evaded arrests but Khoza, who sustained some injuries during the shooting, was captured.
“The police at Skukuza were notified about the incident and upon their arrival, the accused was arrested and charged accordingly. During his arrest, he was found in possession of a rifle, some ammunition as well as a silencer,” Mohlala said.
“After he recovered from his injuries, he was presented before Skukuza Regional Court, facing the charge of being in possession of prohibited firearm, possession of illegal ammunition as well as for possession of dangerous weapon. The case was handed over to the Skukuza stock theft unit, experts in the field of probing matters which are related to illegal poaching.”
Mohlala said the team worked tirelessly to ensure that Khoza gets convicted and sentenced.
“During the tour of their investigation, they discovered that the accused was born in the country of Mozambique and was in South Africa illegally hence the charge of contravention of the Immigration Act of South Africa was added against him,” Mohlala said.
“The team presented their case before court, with overwhelming evidence which was indisputable and has then led the accused with no choice but to surrender hence on Friday, 20 May 2022, he pleaded guilty to all the charges. Khoza was therefore sentenced accordingly.”
Meanwhile, provincial commissioner of police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela has welcomed the sentence, saying it was well deserved.
She also commended the collaborative effort displayed by the team of field rangers, the investigation team, the prosecution team, and the judiciary – which culminated in the sentencing of Khoza.
“We hope that this sentence will serve as a deterrence to those you might think of emulating the actions of the accused. We hope by now people have learnt that one can be severely punished for unauthorised killing of wild animals,” Manamela said.

After a controversy over its May 20 email to alumni asking them to change the name of Gyanvapi Mosque to Gyanvapi Temple on Google Maps, New Horizon Public School in Bengaluru has issued a clarification, saying that the email was sent “without proper screening procedures”.
“Reports of the email sent out about disrespecting certain religious sentiments have come to our notice and the issue is being handled with the highest priority. We wish to clarify that the email was sent without proper screening procedures that is required of all our email communications. We take pride in the cultural and religious diversity of India, we practice the same in the letter and spirit every day with everything we do at our school,” the school said.
The email read, “Request to everyone. Please update on Google map as a Gyanvapi Temple instead of gyanvapi mosque. You are requested to do it and ask our Hindu brothers and sisters to do it till google update this changes. Please open the google map. Search for Gyanvapi Temple but you will see it as gyanvapi mosque. Touch on /Click on – Suggest edit. Touch on – Change name or other details write as “Gyanvapi Temple” and mention as “Hindu Temple”. submit it. Gyanvapi Masjid.”
Preethi Krishnamoorthy, an alumnus based in Hawaii, received the controversial email on May 20. She even took to social media to expose the school’s “shocking” conduct. “I was shocked when I received the email, not because it was sent by my school but because such an extreme email was sent by a school. A school is supposed to teach its students to think critically, so they can grow up to be reasonable individuals capable of differentiating between right and wrong based on the information presented to them. Any educational institution should be a place for free thought, unlike the email that is brainwashing the present and future generations into unthinking obedience,” she said.
Best of Express Premium
The email was a part of the alumni emails that the students who have signed up for receive. According to Krishnamoorthy, the school had also sent an email during the release of ‘The Kashmir Files’. The email contained texts encouraging the alumni to watch the movie and also equated some of the incidents and characters of the movie to Mahabharata. Only 3-4 newsletters are sent to students in the course of a year. Most of the newsletters are related to the meets and events that have happened in the school.
An alumnus, who did not wish to be named, said the email on the Gyanvapi mosque controversy has disturbed her personally. “The first email on ‘The Kashmir Files’ was very weird and I found it strange that a school is promoting a movie. The second email on the mosque was very disturbing. I had stopped reading news after the controversies over azaan and halal and now this incident has disturbed me further. I have unsubscribed the newsletter. A lot of my school memories are now destroyed after this incident. I am feeling let down,” said the alumnus.
According to officials at the Kothanur police station, the school’s management claimed that a fake WhatsApp group has been created and the alleged letter is being circulated on different groups. Although the management has reportedly approached the police, no case has been registered so far.

Ipswich Town interested in Barnsley’s Cauley Woodrow
Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow features on Ipswich Town’s list of potential targets this summer, according to TWTD.
Woodrow, 27, has endured a frustrating campaign which has been limited to just 28 appearances following a serious knee injury.
The former England U21 striker has been a key performer during his time in south Yorkshire netting 31 goals across the last three Championship seasons.
With Woodrow heading into the final 12 months of his deal at Oakwell, Barnsley might be forced to cash in this summer to avoid losing the striker for nothing.
The perfect candidate to bolster Ipswich Town’s attack?
If Kieran McKenna’s impressive Ipswich Town side are to kick on from last season, signing a goalscorer with proven pedigree is a must you feel this summer.
The Tractor Boys’ lack of ruthlessness in the final-third ultimately cost them a place in the division’s top-six after dominating a large proportion of games following McKenna’s arrival.
With Macauley Bonne heading back to his parent club QPR along with James Norwood’s exit, Kayden Jackson and Joe Pigott remain Ipswich Town’s current first-team options at present.
Having already proved his Championship credentials, Woodrow certainly has the ability to be the 20 goal-a-season striker that Ipswich Town are looking for if they are to challenge the automatic promotion places next season.
If this move was to happen, Woodrow could strike a fantastic partnership with Player of the Season Wes Burns who’s electric displays from right wing-back recently earned him a new long-term contract along with a call-up to the Wales squad.
Ipswich made a lot of signings last summer and it left Paul Cook with a bit of a disjointed squad at the start of last season. McKenna needs to make more signings this summer, but keen ones, and Woodrow could be exactly that. | https://the72.co.uk/274057/ipswich-town-interested-in-barnsleys-cauley-woodrow/ | 2022-05-25T08:31:15Z | https://the72.co.uk/274057/ipswich-town-interested-in-barnsleys-cauley-woodrow/ | false | 1 |

We sailed on Wonder of the Seas on a 14-Day Transatlantic sailing. It departed Fort Lauderdale and we landed in Barcelona, Spain 14 days later. We also had three stops along the Spanish coast. It was our first transatlantic crossing and we really got to know the ship.

The ship is a literal floating city complete with neighborhoods, IE Boarwalk Central Park, Promenade. There is a ton of good enterainment at all times. The only reason is that the food was not nearly as good as on Celebrity APEX.

We have taken several transatlantic cruises because we enjoy the sea days rather than many port days. We found the Retreat and Concierge services to be exceptional.

I booked my lifetime dream Transatlantic 23 day cruise aboard Emerald Princess, which would be my first cruise on Princess.

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus re-elected to serve as head of WHO
Dr Tedros’s new mandate officially commences on 16 August 2022. A Director-General can be re-appointed once, in accordance with World Health Assembly rules and procedures.
WHO Member States today re-elected Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to serve a second five-year term as Director-General of the world's leading public health agency. Dr Tedros was first elected in 2017.
His re-election was confirmed during the 75th World Health Assembly in Geneva. He was the sole candidate.
"I am humbled by the opportunity provided by Member States to serve a second term as WHO Director-General," said Dr Tedros. "This honour, though, comes with great responsibility and I am committed to working with all countries, my colleagues around the world, and our valued partners, to ensure WHO delivers on its mission to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable."
Today's vote was the culmination of an election process that began in April 2021 when Member States were invited to submit proposals for candidates for the post of Director-General. The WHO Executive Board, meeting in January 2022, nominated Dr Tedros to stand for a second term.
Dr Tedros's new mandate officially commences on 16 August 2022. A Director-General can be re-appointed once, in accordance with World Health Assembly rules and procedures.
During his first term, Dr Tedros instituted a wide-ranging Transformation of the WHO, aimed at increasing the Organization's efficiency driving impact at country level to promote healthier lives, protect more people in emergencies and increase equitable access to health. He also guided WHO's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, outbreaks of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the health impacts of multiple other humanitarian crises.
Before first being appointed WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ethiopia from 2012–2016 and as Minister of Health, Ethiopia from 2005–2012. He had also served as chair of the Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; as chair of the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership Board; and as co-chair of the Board of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.

It was confirmed that the Meeme who would have been a force to reckon with in this competition is nursing an injury she obtained in the initial weeks of the national netball league.Meeme who was reluctant to mention the kind of injury she obtained told this paper that it hurts not to be on the team, but she is confident in the youngsters whom she believes will do a tremendous work to see that the team does better at the Commonwealth Games.
Upstarts vs veterans
Maggie Baagala, Sarah Nakiyonga both from NIC and KCCA’s Annet Najjuka were exceptional centre players in the national league.
These will be against mainstays like Desire Obua, Norah Lunkuse and Jesca Achan who was also the Most Valuable Player in the recently concluded East African Netball Club Championships.
Meeme believes whoever makes the final team among the mentioned players has whatever it takes to make Uganda shine.
“It will be a stiff competition to earn a place but I am confident in whoever makes the final team as they are all good,” she said. The team trains daily from 8am to 5pm at the Kamwokya Community Centre.

Shafaq News/ The U.S. dollar (USD) exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar (IQD) climbed in the daily transactions at the official markets of Baghdad and Erbil on Wednesday.
Shafaq News Agency correspondent said that the Central al-Kifah and al-Harithiya exchanges are trading the USD at a rate of 148150 IQD to 100.
Our correspondent said that the selling and buying rates of 100 USD in the local markets of the Iraqi capital rested at 148500 and 147500 IQD, respectively.
In the capital of the Kurdistan Region, Erbil, the selling and buying rates settled at 148200 and 148000 IQD to 100 USD. | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/USD-IQD-exchange-rates-slightly-inched-up-in-Baghdad | 2022-05-25T08:47:06Z | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/USD-IQD-exchange-rates-slightly-inched-up-in-Baghdad | false | null |
In 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged George R. Jarkesy Jr., a Houston-area hedge fund manager and Republican donor, with defrauding investors. Jarkesy sued, arguing to a federal court in Washington, D.C. that the SEC proceedings violated his constitutional rights. No dice. He appealed to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Same result.
As with all SEC civil charges, the case went before an administrative law judge, who found Jarkesy liable and ordered him to pay back fines and “ill-gotten gains” — a little less than $1 million — and abstain from “associating with brokers, dealers, and advisers” and “serving as an officer or director of an advisory board or as an investment adviser.”
Jarkesy appealed, arguing that the SEC had no authority to penalize him for rules infractions. SEC commissioners — drawing on Supreme Court decisions dating back decades — rejected a claim that is basically the stuff of sovereign citizen fever dreams. So Jarkesy ran to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, where sovereign citizen fever dreams come true.
The 5th Circuit is where — as I mentioned last time — right-wing judges OK’d an absurd Texas law that prohibits social media companies from moderating Texas residents’ content.
This is the court that tried to strike down the Affordable Care Act a decade after it passed under a legal theory a prominent conservative scholar called “ridiculous.” It’s the court that abruptly canceled district court hearings on Texas’ abortion ban so it could take effect without delay. And it’s the court that forbade United Airlines from enforcing its vaccination policy and said military personnel should be free to disobey an order to get a COVID shot, too.
Any bets on how they ruled this time?
In a 2-1 decision, appointees of Donald Trump and George W. Bush declared that the SEC’s system for enforcing its own rules is unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court takes them seriously — the same Supreme Court that’s about to overturn Roe, so it’s not out of the question — the ruling could cripple not only the SEC but the entire government.
The 5th Circuit made three basic findings: All securities fraud cases must go before a federal jury, not an administrative law judge (ALJ); a law that allows the SEC to decide whether to take an enforcement action before a federal court or an ALJ is unconstitutional; and the existence of the SEC’s ALJ’s is unconstitutional because the president can’t fire them.
In his dissent, Judge Eugene Davis, a Ronald Reagan appointee, pointed out that the first two assertions run counter to well-established case law. (In 1979, for instance, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution “does not prohibit Congress from assigning the fact finding function and initial adjudication to an administrative forum with which the jury would be incompatible.”)
The third claim is more complicated. In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that the SEC’s ALJs had to be appointed by commissioners, not staff. The Trump administration asked the court to eliminate the ALJs’ job protections — which were designed to insulate them from political pressure and ensure their independence — as well, but the court declined.
The 5th Circuit wasn’t so circumspect.
If the decision stands, the two judges will have given Wall Street the virtually unregulated market that brokers crave and those of us who remember the 2008 crash dread. For years, the Chamber of Commerce has complained that the SEC’s ALJs are biased, arguing in a court brief that the SEC wins “90% of the cases it brought before its ALJs, as compared with 69% of cases before district court judges.”
That’s not really true, but it’s also not the point. Bankers know that forcing the SEC to take 700 cases a year to federal juries will break the system. There aren’t enough federal judges, and the likelihood that Republican senators will allow President Biden to appoint a hundred new judges is, well, not great.
As a result, all but the most serious fraud cases would be ignored. That’s the goal.
What this ruling would mean for the 2,000 ALJs scattered across more than 25 federal agencies — most handle Social Security benefits claims, while other issue findings in environmental, labor, and housing disputes, as well — isn’t clear.
But if everything they do has to go before a jury, too, regulations won’t be worth the paper they’re printed on. Again, that’s a feature, not a bug.
On Friday, another Trump appointee — District Court Judge Robert Summerhays — ordered the Biden administration to keep in place Title 42, a Trump-era order that prevents migrants from seeking asylum at the border, ostensibly because of the pandemic. When the administration appeals, the case will go to the 5th Circuit.
The White House probably isn’t in a hurry; it hasn’t figured out how to deal with the expected crush of asylum-seekers. But under the ruling’s logic, courts can halt the country’s asylum law indefinitely. And they might.
The 5th Circuit just upended an administrative system in place since 1946 by inventing a legal doctrine that utterly disregards decades of precedent. It wasn’t the first time, nor will it be the last. Six of the court’s 17 active judges were appointed by Donald Trump. Five of them can unambiguously be described as radicals.
Just as he did with the Supreme Court, Trump packed the federal judiciary with often-unqualified ideologues handpicked by the Federalist Society. Just like with the Supreme Court, the most viable solution is the kind of sweeping judicial reform Democrats don’t have the stomach — or the votes — to undertake.
Elections have consequences. This country will be stuck with the consequences of 2016 for the rest of my life.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India is restricting its sugar exports to 10 million tons in the current season to help maintain domestic availability and keep prices stable.
The decision follows a similar measure for wheat and comes amid signs of tightening world supplies.
India is the second-largest producer, after Brazil, and biggest consumer of sugar in the world, according to the All India Sugar Trade Association. It's the second-largest exporter of sugar. The export curbs are its first in six years.
India exported a record 7 million metric tons in the 2021-22 financial year, which ended in March. That was up from 620,000 tons in 2017-18.
Estimates vary but the country is expected to produce more than 30 million tons in this growing season, and domestic consumption is estimated at about 28 million tons, with domestic reserves at roughly 8 million tons.
In the current June-October sugar season, contracts for export of about 9 million tons have been signed and 7.8 million tons were already exported, the government said in a statement.
Sugar mills and exporters will need to government approval for exports beginning next month, it said.
Sugar consumption tends to shoot up during India's major festival season from September to November.
Sugar prices have remained relatively stable but retail inflation rate surged to an eight-year high of 7.8% in April. The government has announced tax cuts on petrol, diesel, coking coal to try to curb inflationary pressures.
Earlier this month, India also announced that it would export wheat to food-deficit countries only through government channels. It is allowing private companies to meet previous commitments to export nearly 4.3 million tons of wheat through July. India exported 1 million tons of wheat in April.
A key aim of restrictions on exports is to control rising domestic prices. Global wheat prices have risen by more than 40% since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, India’s own wheat harvest was hit by a record-shattering heat wave that has stunted production.
Before the war, Ukraine and Russia accounted for a third of global wheat and barley exports. Since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion, Ukraine’s ports have been blocked and civilian infrastructure and grain silos have been destroyed.

A look at what's happening around the majors today:
___
PINSTRIPE PROBLEMS
Healthy for much of this season, the AL-leading Yankees are suddenly dealing with injuries to several key players.
All-Star infielder DJ LeMahieu was a late scratch from New York’s lineup Tuesday night with left wrist discomfort, closer Aroldis Chapman was added to the injured list with left Achilles tendinitis and slugger Giancarlo Stanton was removed from the win over Baltimore with right calf tightness.
LeMahieu had an MRI that came back clean. He received a cortisone shot and could be back within a day or two. Stanton was scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday.
LeMahieu, a two-time batting champion, is hitting .250 with three homers and a .704 OPS this season. He’s 5 for 39 (.128) over his past 10 games.
New York also activated catcher Kyle Higashioka from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, but left fielder Joey Gallo and third baseman Josh Donaldson remained out with the virus. Gallo has tested negative and worked out at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. He could be activated Wednesday.
The Yankees are set to give left-hander JP Sears his first big league start against the Orioles. The 26-year-old has dominated Triple-A this season and pitched two scoreless innings in two relief appearances for the big club.
LUCKY SEVEN
Minnesota and Boston are rolling, and both teams will try for their seventh consecutive victory.
Dylan Bundy (3-2, 5.14 ERA) pitches for the Twins at home against Detroit, which is 3-15 in its last 18 games at Target Field. Bundy is set to make his seventh start this season in his careful return from COVID-19. He threw 54 pitches over three shutout innings on May 17, his first outing after a 13-day layoff.
The first-place Twins are 23-8 since April 21.
New second baseman Trevor Story is batting .355 with seven homers and 18 RBIs in his last 31 at-bats for the Red Sox, on their longest streak since winning nine straight in April 2021. They send Rich Hill (1-1, 3.90 ERA) to the mound against Lucas Giolito (2-1, 2.84) and the White Sox in Chicago.
GIANT PERFORMANCE
One day after a wild slugfest, the Mets and Giants play the rubber match of their three-game series in San Francisco.
Joc Pederson homered three times and drove in a career-high eight runs, including a tying single with two outs in the ninth inning, as the Giants rallied for a 13-12 victory Tuesday night despite blowing a late six-run lead.
Francisco Lindor homered and had six RBIs for the Mets, who plan to bring up left-hander Thomas Szapucki from Triple-A Syracuse to make his first major league start in the series finale.
New York has scored 25 runs in the first two games of the series.
AUGUST AUDITION
Two starting pitchers who could be attractive trade targets before the Aug. 2 deadline face each other when Kyle Hendricks (2-4, 4.89 ERA) and the Chicago Cubs visit Luis Castillo (0-2, 4.60) and the Cincinnati Reds. Hendricks is looking to rebound after tying a career high by allowing four home runs Friday against Arizona. Castillo makes his fourth start since beginning the season on the injured list with a right shoulder strain.
THAT HURTS
Milwaukee will be without Hunter Renfroe for a while after the outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring Tuesday.
Renfroe was injured Monday night during a 10-inning loss at San Diego. He was hitting .266 with nine home runs and 16 RBIs for the NL Central leaders.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said an MRI showed a low-grade hamstring strain and Renfroe could miss two weeks. Infielder-outfielder Mark Mathias was brought up from Triple-A Nashville.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The search continued Tuesday for a woman suspected in the fatal shooting of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson at an Austin home.
Wilson, 25, was found dead May 11, and Austin police issued a murder warrant for Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, last week.
Wilson, a competitive gravel and mountain bike racer and Vermont native, had been in Austin for a cycling event. According to an affidavit, Wilson had previously dated Armstrong’s boyfriend, cyclist Colin Strickland, who has cooperated with investigators and is not a suspect.
The affidavit says Armstrong’s SUV was seen on surveillance footage outside the home where Wilson was shot to death. Armstrong last spoke with police on May 13 and has since deleted her social media accounts, the affidavit said.
Armstrong’s father, Michael Armstrong, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he doesn’t believe that his daughter could have killed Wilson. He said there are many “unanswered questions” about what happened.
“I know her. I know how she thinks and I know what she believes. And I know that she just would not do something like this,” Michael Armstrong said.
Wilson’s family said in a statement that she was not in a relationship with anyone at the time of her death.
“There are no words that can express the pain and suffering we are experiencing due to this senseless, tragic loss,” the family said in a statement. “Moriah was a talented, kind and caring young woman. Her life was taken from her before she had the opportunity to achieve everything she dreamed of.” | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/search-continues-for-texas-woman-accused-in-cyclists-death/article_d9ef7e24-db60-11ec-8515-6ffe7bce07d8.html | 2022-05-25T09:03:39Z | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/search-continues-for-texas-woman-accused-in-cyclists-death/article_d9ef7e24-db60-11ec-8515-6ffe7bce07d8.html | true | 14 |
Let’s merge healthy and tasty with melon smoothie. Check out recipe here
The summer is here. And so is the scorching heat and the dehydration. The body sweats in the heat and ends up losing a lot of water. And this is exactly why we need to keep replacing the lost water with fluids in order to keep the body hydrated and healthy. Since summer brings with itself a range of fruits and vegetables which are absolutely loved by everyone, replacing the lost sweat with juices and smoothies are not much of a dilemma.
Summer and smoothies go hand in hand. Smoothies are beverages made of fruits and vegetables of choice. They are healthy, they encourage consumption of fruits and vegetables and most importantly, are loaded with nutrients - fats, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals and fibres. They also help in managing food cravings by being a meal replacement.

Motorola has confirmed that it’s launching a flagship-grade foldable phone soon powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. The teaser campaign has officially begun and leaks have started becoming more common as well.
The latest leak shows a hands-on video for the upcoming foldable, giving us a good look from multiple angles. The leak comes from the notable tipster Evan Blass.

According to the video, the upcoming Moto Razr has a number of noteworthy changes compared to the previous models. The phone looks more like a Galaxy Z Flip, especially since the trademark Razr chin is gone. There are two main cameras on the back now, right below a larger outer display. The inner screen appears to be larger as well.
There is a punch-hole selfie camera instead of a wide notch and the display bezels are thinner as well. There is absolutely no display crease and the fingerprint sensor sits on the side atop the power button.
That’s about all the video reveals, but we expect to see more information very soon since the teaser campaign has kicked off. The Moto Razr 3 (tentative name) is expected to become official sometime in June, but there is no confirmation on that just yet. The phone is expected to rival the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. | https://propakistani.pk/2022/05/25/heres-what-motorolas-next-foldable-will-look-like-video/ | 2022-05-25T09:05:36Z | https://propakistani.pk/2022/05/25/heres-what-motorolas-next-foldable-will-look-like-video/ | false | 1 |
