Speaking on Germany’s ZDF channel on Wednesday, Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said that he wants to make it possible to reintroduce compulsory indoor mask-wearing in the autumn.
Under the current Infection Protection Act, only so-called ‘basic protection’ applies – with mask-wearing mandatory only on public transport and in stations, on flights to and from Germany, in hospitals and medical practices, and care facilities.

But Lauterbach said that the Infection Protection Act, which is due to expire on September 23rd, is now being worked on again.
“The question will have to be discussed again, for example, whether wearing masks indoors will become mandatory…I think it is absolutely necessary that we open up this possibility for the autumn,” he said.
Lauterbach’s comments follow a meeting of state health ministers last week, in which they warned that new Covid-19 variants are expected to appear in autumn and winter and that tougher restrictions should be imposed again if they are needed.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach also warned that the higher-risk Delta variant could return to Germany. “That is why the Federal Ministry of Health should draw up a master plan to combat the Covid-19 pandemic as soon as possible and coordinate it with the states,” Chairwoman of the conference of health ministers, Petra Grimm-Benne said.
In the ZDF programme on Wednesday, Lauterbach also defended government plans to procure additional Covid vaccines. He said they now have vaccines for three different Covid strains ready for the autumn.
“I don’t know what’s coming,” he said, but, when a dangerous wave comes, he said, everyone wants the best vaccine. “So I’d rather be criticized for throwing it away later.” | https://www.thelocal.de/20220526/german-health-minister-planning-new-mask-requirement-for-autumn/ | 2022-05-26T10:02:36Z | https://www.thelocal.de/20220526/german-health-minister-planning-new-mask-requirement-for-autumn/ | true | 1 |
Like most women seeking an abortion, Brittany Mostiller already had children when she unexpectedly got pregnant again. "I had two young daughters both under the age of 5, sharing a two-bedroom apartment with my sister," she says.
She'd also just been laid off from her overnight job as a greeter for Greyhound buses. Her unemployment benefits were less than her wages there, and nearly all of them went toward rent and utilities. "I'm not even sure I had a cellphone at that time," she says. "If I did, it was certainly on and off," to save money.
Mostiller worried about finding another job while pregnant and then being able to take time off to care for a newborn. But mostly, she knew how expensive it was to have a baby, and she didn't want to sacrifice the well-being of her two children by having a third she simply could not afford.
As it turned out, she couldn't afford an abortion either. And in Illinois at that time 15 years ago, abortion was not covered by Medicaid.
Mostiller went ahead with the pregnancy and had to be hospitalized at 32 weeks and then induced a week later. Not long after giving birth to a third daughter, she started work as a cashier but could get only 20 hours a week. Her financial hardships began to multiply.
"I defaulted on student loans that I was navigating," she says. She'd been studying to be a paralegal but had left without a degree. Within about a year, she also defaulted on credit card payments, which eventually led to her meager checks being garnished. At one point, she juggled three jobs — one of them full time — trying to make it all work. "It was certainly rough."
Since then, Mostiller has managed to improve her situation, ironically through another unplanned pregnancy. The second time, she discovered a local group that helps poor women pay for abortions, and she now works with the National Network of Abortion Funds. But her worries about falling further into poverty are widely shared among women seeking abortions. And a large body of research proves them right.
Roe v. Wade provided a natural experiment on the economic impacts of abortion
Before the Supreme Court legalized abortion with its Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973, five states and the District of Columbia had already allowed abortion for several years. Caitlin Myers, an economist at Middlebury College, says this provided researchers a natural experiment through which to study the demographic and economic outcomes of women in those states compared with others and then to look at what happened after Roe as well.
Myers says they found profound impacts and were able to document that they were discrete from all the other changes happening in society at the time.
First, legalizing abortion dramatically reduced the number of women and girls who gave birth — and got married — as teenagers. Access to abortion also offered a major boost to women's economic prospects, "allowing them, in turn, to obtain more education, to enter more professional careers, to avoid poverty," Myers says. "And also providing those same economic advantages to the children that they parented later."
In the Mississippi abortion case before the Supreme Court, Myers spearheaded an amicus brief by 154 economists. But she says their findings seem to have been ignored.
During oral arguments in the case in December, Julie Rikelman of the Center for Reproductive Rights argued against Mississippi's law to ban nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. At one point, she said, "The data has been very clear over the last 50 years that abortion has been critical to women's equal participation in society." As she continued, Chief Justice John Roberts interrupted her to ask, "What kind of data is that?" And then interrupted again to say, "Well, putting that data aside ..." and asked why 15 weeks was an inappropriate cutoff.
In his leaked draft opinion, Justice Samuel Alito notes that Roe's supporters say without access to abortion, "women will be unable to compete with men in the workplace." He then cites abortion-rights opponents' "countervailing arguments about modern developments." These include, he writes, changed attitudes toward unmarried pregnant women, federal and state laws banning discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and "that leave for pregnancy and childbirth are now guaranteed by law in many cases."
But Myers says this is just not true for most women seeking abortions, who are disproportionately poor and women of color.
"This population of women ... lacks access to paid parental leave, lacks access to affordable child care," she says. And even many who can get child care face challenges scheduling it because "a lot of these women work in what's called shift work, with very irregular schedules."
The financial fallout extends to the next generation
Of course, abortion-rights opponents see all this differently. When Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a recent Senate panel that overturning Roe would "set women back decades," she drew a rebuke from Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
"Did you say that ending the life of a child is good for the labor force participation rate?" he asked pointedly. He called it "callous" and "harsh" to frame the "painful reality" of abortion that way.
"As a guy raised by a Black woman in abject poverty," he said, "I'm thankful to be here, as United States senator."
But Scott's success story is not the norm when those who seek an abortion are denied one. Economist Jason Lindo, with Texas A&M University, says the financial fallout extends well into the lives of such women's children.
"There's a huge empirical literature showing that there are detrimental effects on these kids' outcomes," he says. "When they grow up, they're less likely to attain higher education themselves, they're more likely to be involved in crime, have lower adult earnings."
Research into abortion's economic fallout continues. The landmark Turnaway Study followed women for a decade and found that those denied an abortion were four times as likely to be living in poverty years later.
And economists have gotten more opportunities for "natural experiment" studies as Texas and a growing number of other states have strictly limited abortion in recent years. One analysis by the Institute for Women's Policy Research calculates that such measures cost state and local economies $105 billion annually by reducing women's labor force participation and earnings.
Still, Middlebury professor Myers says if Roe is overturned, "it's not going to be a return to 1971."
Based on what has happened so far, she estimates that if half of states impose various abortion bans, about three-quarters of women seeking abortions in those states will still find a way to travel and access abortion in another state. But it will largely be women with means, resulting in "a dramatic increase in inequality of access." Her own research last year found that even an increase in travel distance of up to 100 miles could prevent 20% of women from reaching a provider.
Myers calculates that in the first year after Roe was struck down, about 100,000 lower-income women would not be able to get an abortion. She says that number could be higher if more places restrict medication abortion by mail and if a backlog of women seeking help in other states leads to long delays.
And again, she and economist Lindo stress that the consequences don't stop there but extend to the children whom women already have or will have later. They say it's empirically clear that cutting off abortion access for more women would mean widening already stark economic and racial disparities for generations to come.

The number of councillors in North Northamptonshire Council’s Green Alliance group has grown by one after the single Liberal Democrat representative joined today (Thursday).
Cllr Charlie Best became the only yellow rosette-wearing councillor on the authority when he won the by-election in former Tory safe seat Oundle in February.
The vote was triggered after Conservative Annabel de Capell Brooke moved to Norfolk last year.
The Green Alliance group was formed last May with Kettering’s three Green Party Clover Hill councillors – Dez Dell, Emily Fedorowycz and Sarah Tubbs – joining forces with Rothwell and Mawsley independent councillor Jim Hakewill to work together. Cllr Best will now join the group.
Green Alliance leader Cllr Fedorowycz said: “Charlie is incredibly switched on and is clearly going to be a fantastic champion for green issues. On his very first meeting, he was already pushing for better green policies around energy efficiency, and that really got our attention. I am delighted he will be joining the team and very much look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
Cllr Best said: “I am very pleased to be joining NNC's Green Alliance group. We have excellent alignment of values and goals and a powerful mixture of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. Working as a group will enhance all our abilities to make a positive difference for the communities we represent.”
Green Alliance deputy leader Cllr Dell said: “I’m pleased to welcome Charlie to our group, his focus on standing up for his community, while being very aware of the bigger picture chimes greatly with me.”
Cllr Tubbs said: “Aligning across parties on green issues is what it will take to tackle the climate and ecological crises.”
And Cllr Hakewill added: “I’m absolutely delighted that we will be working more closely with Charlie Best going forward. We are so much in agreement on the climate emergency and that we need to act. The most special thing is that whilst members of the Green Alliance can and do have differing views, we are all prepared to work together for the benefit of North Northamptonshire residents.” | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/north-northamptonshire-liberal-democrat-councillor-joins-green-alliance-group-3709603 | 2022-05-26T10:08:56Z | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/north-northamptonshire-liberal-democrat-councillor-joins-green-alliance-group-3709603 | true | 1 |

Amber Heard legal team was left speechless after a former TMZ producer snub in court.
On May 25, former TMZ producer Morgan Tremaine was called as a witness for Depp.
While speaking to the court, Tremaine confirmed that he was asked to send photographers to a Los Angeles courthouse on May 27, 2016 on the day Heard filed for a restraining order against Depp.
"We were trying to capture Amber leaving the courthouse and an alleged bruise on the right side of her face," he told the court. "She was going to sort of stop and turn towards the camera to display the bruise on the right side of her face, the alleged bruise."
When asked if TMZ got the shot, Tremaine replied, "We did."
Meanwhile, Heard denied working with the media outlet.
During cross-examination, Heard's lawyer then blamed Tremaine for seeking his "15-minutes of fame."
"I'm actually putting myself kind of in the target of TMZ, a very litigious organization. And I'm not seeking any 15-minutes here," he responded. "I could say the same thing about taking Amber Heard as a client, for you."

Watch for a few more showers around the area today
Published: May. 26, 2022 at 4:43 AM CDT|Updated: 30 minutes ago
OTTUMWA, Iowa (KYOU) - Clouds will remain pretty thick today and the potential does exist for a few more showers and possibly a thunderstorm later this morning into the afternoon. For those that get under a thunderstorm, another tenth to quarter inch of rain may occur. We’ll take all we can get because beyond this chance, there isn’t much until the middle of next week. Plan on sunshine to return to the area tomorrow with highs into the 70s. The holiday weekend continues to look nice overall with highs around 80 on Saturday. Heat will start building into the area on Sunday, with temperatures around 90 for Memorial Day.

Technology companies are living through a market rout not seen since the embers of the dotcom crash. The Nasdaq has fallen for seven consecutive weeks, the longest losing streak since 2002, and is down 30pc this year.
Investment bankers who were busier than ever this time last year during the Spac frenzy are twiddling their thumbs. Bitcoin, once marketed as a hedge against inflation, has crashed too. Elon Musk’s $44bn (£35bn) agreement to buy Twitter a month ago is looking more ill-timed by the day. The superstars at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week are not youthful internet entrepreneurs but nonagenarian diplomats and financiers.
A combination of a global inflationary crisis and the subsequent rise in interest rates has been a sharp rejoinder to any tech worker under the age of 35, who has only ever experienced their employers becoming richer and more powerful.
Such an environment is starting to take its toll on most. This week, Snapchat’s parent company warned that the “macroeconomic environment has deteriorated further and faster than anticipated”; its founder Evan Spiegel told staff the company would dramatically slow hiring.
Meanwhile, Uber’s chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi recently told employees the company would have to focus on profit over growth in response to market conditions - a remarkable U-turn given its reputation for chasing the inverse.
Those are the milder cases. Many tech companies have enjoyed a near-unlimited tolerance for profligacy from their investors’ are now being forced to slash costs. Robinhood, Peloton, Netflix and PayPal are all losing staff, some for the first time. In many cases the downturn in market conditions is compounded by the end of coronavirus lockdowns, which have seen consumers give up pandemic habits such as indoor cycling.
For start-ups that rely on regular injections of private capital to stay afloat, the crisis is worse. Klarna, the Swedish buy-now-pay-later firm, is slashing 10pc of staff and is in talks to raise funds well below the $46bn valuation it was granted a year ago. Gorillas, one of a flood of instant delivery companies that thrived during lockdown, has fired half the employees at its Berlin headquarters.
But the slump is not hitting all companies equally. Silicon Valley’s giants - the big five of Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta - are not only more likely to ride out the wave, but possibly stand to profit from it.
While many of their smaller rivals are having to turn to careful cost management, Big Tech is highly profitable and swimming in cash. Combined, the five companies are sitting on more than $600bn in reserves. None are at risk of much revolt from investors: Facebook and Google are controlled by their founders, and the others have enough of a track record to brush off any revolt.
Whereas staff at less-stable tech companies are seeing the stock awards that make up the majority of their wealth evaporate, the big five are able to top up employees’ pay with hefty cash bonuses.
The tech giants will see a slump in valuations as an opportunity to go shopping. Amazon has been linked with a takeover of Peloton, which is worth a tenth of what it was a year ago. If Apple wanted to acquire an electric car company to boost its long-running vehicle project, now might be the time.
Downturns are a good time for predators. The early months of the pandemic gave Big Tech a vital lesson in the opportunities created by a crisis. When economies were on the brink and other companies went into survival mode, the likes of Amazon and Apple enjoyed record levels of growth.
Investing now by buying up ailing competitors allows the companies to consolidate their grip on potential future waves of technology, such as virtual and augmented reality.
Big Tech has found large acquisitions off the table for the last few years as competition watchdogs take an increasingly dim view of them. But if a company faces extinction, regulators might be tempted to turn a blind eye to it being hoovered up by a Silicon Valley giant. This is doubly the case if authorities are focused on more pressing issues such as inflation.
But at the same time, the clamour for action will become louder. The disparity between business rates paid by physical retailers and online giants becomes more acute as prices are going up. Amazon is already seeking to reduce this by offloading warehouse space.
Calls for the Government to invest in the flotation of Cambridge microchip company Arm, one of Britain’s only world-leading tech companies, could grow louder. A rumoured alternative is for a consortium of tech giants to lead a New York IPO.
But opponents of Big Tech will not find the track record encouraging. Government plans for a Digital Markets Unit with powers to more heavily police competition abuses have been bogged down. Political gridlock in the US means intervention there is even less likely.
The lesson that tech companies learned from the dotcom bubble bursting was that those who are able to tough it out will enjoy greater riches in the future. Silicon Valley giants are likely to take that to heart this time. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/05/26/inflation-crisis-will-give-tech-titans-even-power/ | 2022-05-26T10:18:32Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/05/26/inflation-crisis-will-give-tech-titans-even-power/ | false | 9 |

Cambodia’s microloan sector under scrutiny as poor drown in debt
International Finance Corporation’s watchdog is probing claims loans aimed at hard up are harming communities.
Siem Reap, Cambodia – When Sam’s hard-up relatives needed money to buy a plot of land and start their own business several years ago, they turned to Sathapana Bank in Siem Reap to borrow about $20,000.
Now the Siem Reap tuk-tuk driver and his wife are struggling to make monthly repayments of about $500.
“We do not have the capacity to pay, so we missed payments,” Sam, who asked to use a pseudonym, told Al Jazeera. “We could only pay a small amount of the interest.”
Sam and his family are not alone.
Cambodia’s microfinancing sector, which purports to alleviate poverty by offering financial services to people excluded from traditional banking, is under scrutiny as the watchdog of the International Finance Corporation investigates complaints that the body’s funding of microfinance lenders has caused “grave harm” to local communities.
The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) and Equitable Cambodia (EC), two local advocacy groups, have accused the World Bank’s sister organisation of “reckless investments” that “destroyed lives and wrecked communities”.
The complaint, which the IFC’s Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) accepted for review earlier this month, claims the financial institution provided $400m to six Cambodian lenders over the last five years without meeting its obligation to “conduct due diligence and supervise projects to ensure compliance with performance standards”.
The lack of due diligence, the NGOs say, has fuelled overindebtedness that has resulted in child labour and families being forced to sell their homes and land.
For many borrowers like Sam and his wife, their financial troubles had begun before they visited a lender.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Sam made from $13-15 per day, and his wife made $2-$5. On an especially good day, the couple could make up to $40 combined.
When tourists stopped arriving during the pandemic, Sam’s income dried up and his wife lost her job in a beauty salon.
“During COVID, I made nothing some days, and some days it was $2.5 to $5.”
Struggling to pay the bank and feed his family at the same time, Sam, 33, went to Thailand to work illegally in 2020. But within a few months of getting a job at a fruit factory, the work dried up and he was forced to return home.
“The bank only comes to pressure us for money,” he said, adding that the bank has suggested he sell some land he owns. “They don’t care where the money is.”
“They discussed with us, took photos of the land, and advertised to see if anyone is interested, so we could sell and pay back the bank,” Sam added.
Many of Sam’s neighbours are in a similar situation.
Ta Nou, a village chief in Siem Reap, said that about 90 percent of residences in his community of about 600 people had borrowed money from a microlending institution.
Some borrowers have since gone to work in Thailand, he said, with one family putting their house on sale to cover their debts.
“I feel sorry for and pity them,” Nou, who asked to use a pseudonym, told Al Jazeera.
Since 2019 LICADHO, EC and other NGOs have been investigating the problem of excessive indebtedness in Cambodia.
“The serious human rights violations caused by the sector have been ongoing for years, and we hope the detailed information provided in the complaint will serve as a wake-up call to the IFC,” said Eang Vuthy, executive director of Equitable Cambodia, said in the statement in May.
In their CAO case, LICADHO and EC have the option of choosing a dispute resolution process or a compliance appraisal, which would lead to further investigation into the allegations.
The IFC told Al Jazeera the microfinance sector in Cambodia has boosted incomes, created jobs and helped people expand their businesses, but acknowledged “legitimate concerns about indebtedness”.
“In Cambodia, we have worked with the National Bank of Cambodia to set up a credit bureau to help avoid situations of multiple borrowings and unsustainable debt levels and to provide information that helps stamp out aggressive lending practices,” a spokesperson said.
“IFC welcomes a productive dialogue with the CAO and other stakeholders if the complaint proceeds as part of the CAO’s process.”
‘Zero-tolerance policy’
Kaing Tongngy, a spokesman for the Cambodian Microfinance Association (CMA), said that the association has a “zero-tolerance policy for any malpractice by our members” and is looking into the complaint.
“Any breach of the code of conduct may result in termination or even worse,” he said. “CMA is working with our members and stakeholders to strengthen mechanisms and monitor their performance to ensure they fully adhere to the codes of conduct and respect the rights of their customers.”
Sok Voeun, chief executive officer of LOLC Cambodia, one of the six financial institutions named in the CAO complaint, said the lender has written off more than $4.5m in debt for 4,600 hardship cases.
“LOLC is aware of the complaints submitted to the International Finance Corporation and welcomes the opportunity to support the investigation by their Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO),” he told Al Jazeera.
“We are confident the investigation will conclude that responsible microfinance providers such as LOLC have an important role to play in supporting economic development and promoting financial inclusion in countries like Cambodia where many microentrepreneurs would otherwise be forced to rely on unregulated money lenders.”
Another lender named in the complaint, ACLEDA Bank, described the report filed by the two NGOs as “too politicised and baseless”.
“It’s routinely issued before each election, I noted,” In Channy, president and group managing director, told Al Jazeera. “It lacks [professionalism], and the researchers never understand the best practices of banking and finance in accordance with the law on banking and finance in Cambodia.”
The other four lenders did not respond to inquiries or could not be reached for comment.
Milford Bateman, a visiting professor of economics at Juraj Dobrila University of Pula in Croatia, said microfinance institutions around the world have lost touch with reality.
“The MFIs have everywhere around the world lost touch with their pro-poor developmental roots as a result of being privatised, commercialised, and especially bought up by foreign investors keen to maximise profits in a short period of time,” Bateman told Al Jazeera.
Naly Pilorge, outreach director of LICADHO, said predatory microlenders have created an “over-indebtedness crisis” in Cambodia.
“Because so many of these overinflated microloans are collateralised with borrowers’ land titles, they often are pressured to resort to harmful practices such as child labour, migration, and in some cases the sale of land to repay these microloans,” Pilorge said.
“What we want from all parties – the MFIs and banks, investors such as the IFC, and the Cambodian government – is for Cambodia’s microloan sector to do no harm by respecting the human rights of all borrowers.”
For Sam and his wife, any change in the sector will come too late.
Resigned to not being able to repay their bank, the couple has decided to sell their land.
“I’ve put the land on sale,” he said. “If anyone is interested, they can have a look at the land.” | https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/5/26/cambodias-microloan-sector-under-fire-as-poor-down-in-debt | 2022-05-26T10:30:55Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/5/26/cambodias-microloan-sector-under-fire-as-poor-down-in-debt | true | 1 |

Kate Moss testimony was ‘devoid of any signs of stress or anxiety' and her expressions even suggests ‘residual warmth’ at the memory of her ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp, claims body language expert.
Moss testified in the ongoing defamation trial of Depp against his former wife Amber Heard as she denied the accusations that the actor pushed her from stairs.
Appearing in court via video link, the model explained the truth behind the 'staircase incident' on Wednesday, saying she slid down some stairs because of a rainstorm and hurt her back.
Body language expert Judi James talked to Daily Mail as she analyzed Moss’ body movements during the testimony.
She told the outlet, “Asked, ‘Do you know Jonny Depp?’ Kate's very subtle facial movements suggest residual warmth at the memory. The right side of her mouth curls up in a subtle smile as she says, ‘Yes I do,’”
“Kate gives the impression of being polite, smiling sweetly and apologetically when speaking over the lawyer and being interrupted by him,” added James.
James pointed that there were no signs of stress on Moss, saying, “Despite the fact that she is famously private, her blink rate and her shoulder angle look devoid of any signs of stress or anxiety.”
“She becomes more animated at this point, seeming to be close to laughter as she says, ‘He never pushed me or kicked me,'” the expert claims.
Talking about Heard’s body language, James said, “Amber is seen at times during this testimony, sitting mainly with her chin raised and her eyebrows arched.”
“When Kate is asked how long she and Johnny were a couple (Heard's) head seems to turn from side to side in a gesture that could suggest denial or irrelevance,” she added. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/419075-kate-moss-testimony-devoid-of-any-signs-of-stress-or-anxiety-body-language-expert | 2022-05-26T10:32:20Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/419075-kate-moss-testimony-devoid-of-any-signs-of-stress-or-anxiety-body-language-expert | true | 1 |
Christchurch, May 26: New Zealand all-rounder Amy Satterthwaite has announced her retirement from international cricket after being informed by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) that she would not receive a central contract for the 2022/23 season. Satterthwaite, New Zealand's most capped women's ODI player, also served as a full-time captain of the side in 2018 and 2019. She made her international debut in 2007 and went on to represent New Zealand in 111 T20Is and 145 ODIs. Umar Gul, Ex-Pakistan Pacer, Appointed Bowling Coach of Afghanistan
In ODIs, Satterthwaite amassed 4,639 runs at an average of 38.33, becoming New Zealand's second-highest scorer behind opener Suzie Bates, including seven centuries, four of which came in consecutive innings during the 2016/17 season, equalling the world record alongside Sri Lanka men's batting legend Kumar Sangakkara.
She also picked 50 wickets with her off-spin in the 50-over format. In T20Is, Satterthwaite had a modest record, making 1,784 runs at an average of 21.49, including a half-century while picking 26 wickets. "It is with a degree of sadness that I announce my retirement from international cricket. It has been a tough few days after learning of NZC's decision to head in a new direction and contract some younger cricketers," said Satterthwaite on her abrupt ending to her 15-year international career.
"I am disappointed not to be receiving a contract and believe I still had more to offer, however, I respect NZC's decision and I wish the WHITE FERNS all the best as they embark on an exciting winter of cricket, including the Commonwealth Games. I'll be supporting them all the way," added the left-handed batter.
Satterthwaite will continue to play domestic cricket for Canterbury Magicians apart from a contract in the Hundred with Manchester Originals in August. She took a break from international cricket in 2019 for giving birth to her daughter Grace and returned to cricketing action nine months after childbirth in September 2020. "Most importantly I want to thank my family: Mum, Dad, Lea, and Grace, for their unconditional support throughout. Without them, it simply wouldn't have been possible. To all my teammates past and present, coaches and support staff, I appreciate everything you've done to help me as a cricketer and make my time with the WHITE FERNS special."
"I'm immensely proud of my journey with the WHITE FERNS and especially taking the time away to give birth to our daughter, Grace, before returning to play international cricket. I didn't know if I would ever make it back to the top level and I hope my story can inspire other mums and mums-to-be that it is possible to follow your career dreams and start a family."
Bryan Stronach, NZC's general manager of high performance, lauded Satterthwaite's achievements but explained that the contracts list to be out on Friday will see more youngsters being handed contracts with a focus on T20I cricket.
"Amy will be remembered as one of our best cricketers; her record is outstanding, and she can feel really proud about what she has achieved - not just for herself and the team, but also for all the players she has inspired and enabled."
"Essentially, we're looking to the future and want to give some younger cricketers a chance to develop their skills surrounded by our high-performance systems. We also considered the immediate playing programme and next pinnacle events - both heavily weighted towards T20I cricket."
New Zealand will feature in the Commonwealth Games later this year in Birmingham, followed by the Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa in early 2023. They are yet to confirm their new head coach following Bob Carter's departure after the ODI World Cup at their home this year.

It is often said that for a healthy relationship, communication is key. Be it any relation, when it comes to maintaining it, sustaining it and repairing it, one has to communicate openly. Communication is not just about telling how you feel but also equally listening to your partner. While it seems simple, communicating well without getting misunderstood is a hard task. If your partner is angry and you say a wrong word, it can lead to a bigger blunder, and trust us it’ll take days to repair that. So, to make it a little easy for you, we have some tips that might help you to communicate effectively with your partner.
Manage your tone
What you speak takes a form with the way you speak. If you are saying something funny in a harsh tone, it can lead the communication to a different level. So, always try to keep your tone in moderation while talking to your partner. Do not use a high-pitch voice while having an argument as it might create a bigger problem. Use a calm and composed tone.
Do not say it over text
Communication can be done through any mode but over a text is not appropriate. Texts are just words and they don’t tell how you are saying them so the other person might take it in a wrong way. So, try to avoid texting if you want to have a healthy communication.
Choose the right time
Yes, timing is crucial. If you have just fought with your partner and they are unable to process your point, then you must wait for the time they are cool and can understand your stance. Even if you have a disagreement try to prove it once they are in their senses to listen and understand.
Say it without saying it
Communication is not always verbal, sometimes non-verbal communication is also important to say what you feel. If you want to prove your partner that you understand their point, then don’t just say it but prove it by your actions. If they don’t want you to put the towel on bed, then instead of apologising, try not to throw it on the bed. These gestures say a lot.
Don’t quote past
As humans, we often take out rotten stuff in communication knowingly or unknowingly. Bringing out past in any communication is not a good idea. So, try not to quote any past incident which was not pleasurable in front of your partner in case you want make it a healthy communication.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the antecedents of road rage in Bangkok, Thailand. To identify the antecedents of road rage in Bangkok, this study proposed four factors effecting antecedents of road rage. These factors include; frustration level, aggressive behavior, personality disorder and cultural norms. For this purpose, data collection is made by conducting a survey in Bangkok, Thailand. The 5-point Likert scale is used for data collection among the people involved in road rage. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is employed for data analysis. It is found that; aggressive behavior of the people leads to the individual road rage behavior. Furthermore, personality disorder also causes to increase the intention of individual road rage behavior. It is also observed from the results, culture norms also have the potential to promote individual road rage behavior. However, frustration level of an individual has no effect. Thus, this study identified that; aggressive behavior, personality disorder and cultural norms are the major antecedents of individual road rage behavior in Bangkok, Thailand.

A new survey from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor has revealed that 69% of men aged 25 - 75 have experienced erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives, and 62% of those who’ve suffered from it blame the pandemic for their experience. Three in five men who have erectile dysfunction believe that Covid is the main cause.
Although a high percentage of men experience ED, over 50% of the survey’s respondents were unaware that 1 in 5 men are affected by the disorder. A further 32% of respondents weren’t aware of the treatments that are available for ED and 18% didn’t know that ED was treatable at all.
The survey also revealed that 54% of men felt ED affected their sex life and intimacy and 35% felt it caused avoidance of new sexual partners. Three in 10 men also said that ED has negatively impacted their mental health.
32% of respondents revealed that they feel embarrassed about speaking to a medical professional about ED and as a result, a whopping 42% never have spoken to a doctor about their problem. In fact, 30% haven’t even spoken to their partners about the issue.
For those not confident enough to talk to a doctor about their symptoms in person, an online consultation can break down the barrier, and make you feel less embarrassed about sharing your personal information. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/62-men-experiencing-erectile-dysfunction-24066528 | 2022-05-26T10:49:06Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/62-men-experiencing-erectile-dysfunction-24066528 | true | 2 |
A number of Brexit-related emails that were recently leaked online came from the hands of Russian hackers, Google’s cybersecurity experts have said.
The team detected a new website, entitled “Very English Coop d’Etat”, which reportedly leaked multiple emails from a couple of high-ranking government officials, involved one way or another, in the UK’s split from the European Union: including former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove, Gisela Stuart, lead Non-executive Board Member for the Cabinet Office, historian Robert Tombs, and others.
The site does not detail if any malware (opens in new tab) was used in the attack, or even who was behind the campaign.
War with Ukraine
Analyzing the website, the director of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), Shane Huntley, told Reuters that all evidence points towards a Russia-based hacking group known as “Cold River”.
"We're able to see that through technical indicators," Huntley noted.
Reuters, which broke the story, said it could not confirm the authenticity of the emails, but some of the people involved did hint that it might be true. Dearlove, for example, told Reuters he was “aware of a Russian operation against a Proton account which contained emails” to and from him, but also added that the leaked contents should be taken with a whole bag of salt due to “the context of the present crisis in relations with Russia”.
After all, the UK has openly sided with Ukraine in the ongoing conflict, providing the country with arms and other means of support. Furthermore, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was banned from Russia in mid-April over his support for Ukraine.
Tombs also said he was aware of “Russian disinformation based on illegal hacking” and provided no further comment. Others remained silent.
The only thing that has proven trickier than confirming the authenticity of the emails, is proving who is behind the attack on these endpoints (opens in new tab). Thomas Rid, a cybersecurity expert at Johns Hopkins University, told Reuters the modus operandi in this attack is quite similar to some of the previous ones conducted by Russian attackers.
"What jumps out at me is how similar the M.O. is to Guccifer 2 and DCLeaks," he said. The leaks he mentioned happened just before the U.S. presidential elections in 2016.
"It looks very familiar in some ways, including the sloppiness," he said. | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/google-says-russian-hackers-leaked-brexit-emails | 2022-05-26T10:53:17Z | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/google-says-russian-hackers-leaked-brexit-emails | true | 6 |

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — As the mother of a girl killed at Sandy Hook, Michele Gay was devastated by the massacre at a Texas elementary school, with its aching parallels to the 2012 attack in Connecticut.
It was all the more saddening in light of the work she has invested in the years since to promote school safety.
“This one has been particularly devastating for me, for my family, for our community, Sandy Hook. We’re just literally transported back in time,” said Gay, co-founder of the nonprofit Safe and Sound Schools. “I’ve got to dig deep. I’m not going to lie.”
In the decade since 20 children and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, some of their loved ones who channeled grief into advocacy have claimed success, gradually, in areas including gun safety, attitudes around gun violence, and mental health awareness. The attack in Uvalde has tested their resolve like no other.
Like the Newtown gunman, the attacker in Texas was a young man who shot an older family member he lived with before opening fire with an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle inside a nearby elementary school, slaughtering small and defenseless children.
As details of Tuesday’s shooting emerged, Matt Vogl was texting with Jennifer Hensel, whose daughter Avielle was killed in Newtown, and others involved in an advocacy effort named in the girl’s honor, the Avielle Initiative, which promotes efforts to make mental health care more widely available through technology.
“We were all just crying and texting. It’s brutal because it triggers some of the darkest memories we have,” said Vogl, executive director at the National Mental Health Innovation Center in Colorado, where the program is based. The effort was launched after the Newtown attack by Hensel and her husband, Jeremy Richman, who died by suicide in 2019.
“If I can’t stay optimistic I need to quit and find something else to do. On days like today it’s all you got. The vast majority of people don’t go into schools and shoot them up,” Vogl said.
In the first months after the Newtown shooting, much of the families’ advocacy work centered on gun control, particularly a failed effort in 2013 to get a federal law banning some semi-automatic weapons and expanding criminal and mental background checks for gun purchases.
One of the best known groups, Sandy Hook Promise, pivoted afterward to campaigns that helped pass state laws limiting sales of some guns and, more recently, to community-based prevention programs.
There have been victories. Trainings offered to schools by Sandy Hook groups have been credited with stopping potential suicides and school shootings. Victims’ families have prevailed in legal fights with conspiracy theorists and a lawsuit against gun-maker Remington that held the company responsible for its marketing of military-style rifles like those used in the Newtown and Uvalde attacks.
For Mark Barden, a co-founder of Sandy Hook Promise, the Texas shooting was all the more frustrating because of everything that has been learned about how looking out for warning signs can prevent such tragedies.
“Today it’s hard because my mind is with with these families in that community,” said Barden, whose son Daniel was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting. “But I do have to buoy myself from crashing because I know that we have something here that works.”
Gay, whose group works with schools around the country, said it was disheartening to hear indications that signs might have been missed in the Texas case.
“Already it appears there were numerous red flags, numerous changes in his behavior over the last year of his life, social media postings that were opportunities to report and then provide intervention,” she said. “That’s hard.”
Survivors of the Newtown shooting where among those expressing outrage.
Mary Ann Jacob, a former Sandy Hook library clerk, was huddled in a closet with 18 children during the 2012 shooting.
“Yesterday, I was right back in that closet, remembering the fear and horror we experienced, trying to be brave for the kids we were with, while we were more frightened than we’d ever been in our lives,” she said Wednesday during an appearance with Connecticut’s governor in Hartford. “Once again, gun violence has forced its way into our schools, leaving nothing but devastation, trauma and tragedy in its wake.”
Schools across Newtown had a stepped-up police presence on Wednesday and Superintendent Lorrie Rodrigue said counselor teams were on alert for students who might be traumatized by the news from Texas, including high school students who survived the Sandy Hook shooting.
“In just visiting today, it was very obvious that staff were right there to support their students, especially those at the high school who were at Sandy Hook,” she said.
Although Congress hasn’t passed a meaningful gun control law since the Newtown attack, Erica Lafferty, the daughter of Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, the slain principal of Sandy Hook, pushes back on those who say nothing has changed since Sandy Hook. A program manager at Everytown for Gun Safety and an advocate for universal background checks, she said gains have been made quietly in states around the country.
“That is absolutely not something that I see stopping. I do hope that this is an eye opener, as Sandy Hook was, for a push on the federal level,” she said. “But what that’s going to be? Your guess is as good as mine.” | https://www.pahomepage.com/uncategorized/ive-got-to-dig-deep-texas-shooting-tests-newtown-parents/ | 2022-05-26T10:57:38Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/uncategorized/ive-got-to-dig-deep-texas-shooting-tests-newtown-parents/ | false | 32 |

EPL: Tuchel told to sign FIFA Best Player for Chelsea
Former Chelsea star, Glen Johnson, has urged the club’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, to try and sign 2021 FIFA Best Men’s Player, Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski shocked the world when he confirmed that he would not be signing a new contract with Bayern Munich this summer after another stunning season in which he broke the 40-goal mark and helped the German giants to another League title.
It is believed that Bayern Munich do not want to pay Lewandowski the kind of wages that he desires – around the £600,000-a-week mark.
The Bundesliga champions have given up hope of keeping hold of the Polish striker, so they have decided that they will allow him to leave for a fee this summer rather than nothing next summer.
That has led to a lot of speculation that the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona, Man United and even Liverpool have all been linked with a move for the forward.
“In terms of the player himself, then yes. But business-wise, what that might do to [Romelu] Lukaku, if he is not playing, where is he going to go, how much is he going to be worth,” Johnson told Betting Odds.
“They bought him for an awful lot of money. But at the same time, if they give him another six months and he doesn’t perform, then they might miss out on the top four. It’s a tough one.
“While Lewandowski is available on the free, I think you have to try and sign him.” | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/26/epl-tuchel-told-to-sign-fifa-best-player-for-chelsea/ | 2022-05-26T10:58:45Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/26/epl-tuchel-told-to-sign-fifa-best-player-for-chelsea/ | false | 1 |
Two days after an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed 19 children and two adults at a Texas elementary school, officials have released more information, while Americans across the nation continue to express shock and grief at the incident.
Here are the latest developments:
The gunman shot his grandmother before heading to the school
The gunman shot his grandmother in the face and posted on social media about it 15 minutes before fleeing and driving to Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said at a Wednesday press conference.
"Anyone who shoots his grandmother in the face has to have evil in his heart, but it is far more evil for someone to gun down little kids," he said.
The massacre lasted at least 40 minutes
Approximately 40 minutes to an hour passed between when the gunman first arrived at Robb Elementary and fired a shot at a security guard to when he was killed by a Border Patrol agent, according to The Associated Press.
Witnesses shouted at police to go into the school after the gunman, but the officers did not do so initially.
One man, Juan Carranza, who lives across the street from the school and saw the gunman pull up in a truck, eventually suggested to the civilians gathered outside that they charge the school building as law enforcement waited, AP reported.
Texas Rangers are leading the investigation into the shooting, Abbott said.
Former congressman Beto O'Rourke interrupts Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's remarks
As Abbott prepared to close his remarks, former congressman and 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke interrupted the governor.
"You are doing nothing," O'Rourke said. "This is totally predictable. You're all doing nothing."
A variety of responses can be heard in the background, including, "sit down," "you're out of line and an embarrassment" and "let him talk."
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said, "I can't believe you're a sick son of a b**** to come to a deal like this to make a political issue."
O'Rourke, who is running against Abbott in the state's 2022 gubernatorial election, then left the auditorium.
He spoke to media outside the auditorium about Abbott, saying, "The only thing he did was make it easier to carry a gun in public. And he bragged about the fact that there would be no background check, no training, no vetting whatsoever. He talked about this was evil. The only thing evil is what he continues to do to the people of this state."
NBA team urges fans to call lawmakers over gun control
At a Wednesday night playoff game, the Miami Heat basketball team urged fans to call their lawmakers to advocate for gun reform laws after 19 children and two adults were killed at a the Uvalde elementary school shooting.
"The Heat urges you to contact your state senators by calling 202-224-3121 to leave a message demanding their support for common sense gun laws," the stadium announcer said as the team geared up to play the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the teams' playoff series.
The team, which was facing the Boston Celtics, held a moment of silence before the announcement.

Could Facebook have known about ominous direct-message threats made by a gunman who Texas authorities say massacred 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school? Could it have warned the authorities?
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott revealed the online messages sent minutes before the Wednesday attack, although he called them posts, which are typically distributed to a wide audience. Facebook stepped in to note that the gunman sent one-to-one direct messages, not public posts, and that they weren’t discovered until “after the terrible tragedy.”
The latest mass shootings in the U.S. by active social-media users may bring more pressure on social media companies to heighten their scrutiny of online communications, even though conservative politicians — Abbott among them — are also pushing social platforms to relax their restrictions on some speech.
SHOULD FACEBOOK HAVE CAUGHT THE SHOOTER’S MESSAGES?
Facebook parent company Meta has said it monitors people’s private messages for some kinds of harmful content, such as links to malware or images of child sexual exploitation. But copied images can be detected using unique identifiers — a kind of digital signature — which makes them relatively easy for computer systems to flag. Trying to interpret a string of threatening words — which can resemble a joke, satire or song lyrics — is a far more difficult task for artificial intelligence systems.
Facebook could, for instance, flag certain phrases such as “going to kill” or “going to shoot,” but without context — something AI in general has a lot of trouble with — there would be too many false positives for the company to analyze. So Facebook and other platforms rely on user reports to catch threats, harassment and other violations of the law or their own policies. As evidenced by the latest shootings, that often comes too late, if at all.
PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE
Even this kind of monitoring could soon be obsolete, since Meta plans to roll out end-to-end-encryption on its Facebook and Instagram messaging systems next year. Such encryption means that no one other than the sender and the recipient — not even Meta — can decipher people’s messages. WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, already has such encryption.
A recent Meta-commissioned report emphasized the benefits of such privacy but also noted some risks — including users who could abuse the encryption to sexually exploit children, facilitate human trafficking and spread hate speech.
Apple has long had end-to-end encryption on its messaging system. That has brought the iPhone maker into conflict with the Justice Department over messaging privacy. After the deadly shooting of three U.S. sailors at a Navy installation in December 2019, the Justice Department insisted that investigators needed access to data from two locked and encrypted iPhones that belonged to the alleged gunman, a Saudi aviation student.
Security experts say this could be done if Apple were to engineer a “backdoor” to allow access to messages sent by alleged criminals. Such a secret key would let them decipher encrypted information with a court order.
But the same experts warned that such backdoors into encryption systems make them inherently insecure. Just knowing that a backdoor exists is enough to focus the world’s spies and criminals on discovering the mathematical keys that could unlock it. And when they do, everyone’s information is essentially vulnerable to anyone with the secret key. | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/what-were-the-texas-shooters-social-media-messages/ | 2022-05-26T11:15:59Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/what-were-the-texas-shooters-social-media-messages/ | false | 45 |
It was a fiery weekend at the Paul Ricard, which hosted round three of the International GT Open. The six Ferraris entered, took several podium places and were even in the mix for overall victory.
The Am class of the Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS continued to be a good hunting ground for Ferrari, with a one-two performance by Triarsi Competizione at New Orleans’ NOLA Motorsport Park in the second round of the season. This was the seventeenth consecutive class victory for the Maranello marque’s cars.
International GT Open. The first of the two races at the French circuit saw Kessel Racing’s number 133 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020, crewed by Murat Ruhi Cuhadaroglu and David Fumanelli, take third place overall, having battled for victory for many laps. The final hard-fought laps decided the order of finish, with Fumanelli prevailing in the struggle for the podium’s final step, also worth second place in the Pro Am class. In the Am, second place went to Kessel Racing’s other car, number 77, with Omar Jackson and Charles Hollings ahead of AF Corse’s number 55 Ferrari with Laurent De Meeus and Jamie Stanley. After an excellent second time in qualifying, Kessel Racing’s number 73 with Roman Ziemian and Axcil Jefferies only managed a thirteenth place in the race and seventh in the Pro Am.
Race-2. Ziemian and Jefferies posted the fastest lap in the second race on Sunday. They finished fifth overall, third in the Pro Am, despite a three-second penalty added to their race time for not having surrendered a position. In the Am, Jackson and Hollings took second place. They now lie second in the class standings, just four points behind the leader. The number 55 Ferrari of AF Corse with De Meeus and Stanley came third.
Round three of the International GT Open will run on 19 June at Spa in Belgium
GT World Challenge America. After taking class pole and eighth place overall on the grid at the NOLA Motorsport Park, the number 23 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2022 of Triarsi Competizione with Onofrio Triarsi and Charlie Scardina won the race despite a spin. In so doing, they broke Jean-Claude Saada and Conrad Grunewald’s fifteen-race winning streak in the AF Corse Ferrari. The second round yielded the same result, with Triarsi Competizione triumphing again.
The Florida-based team’s second Ferrari, competing in the Pro Am class with Justin Wetherill and Ryan Dalziel, finished the two races in sixth and seventh place. | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/competizioni-gt/articles/weekend-notebook-ferrari-on-podium-at-paul-ricard-prancing-horses-dominance-continues-at-nola | 2022-05-26T11:19:57Z | https://www.ferrari.com/en-CA/competizioni-gt/articles/weekend-notebook-ferrari-on-podium-at-paul-ricard-prancing-horses-dominance-continues-at-nola | true | 4 |

What Is Orthorexia Nervosa, An Obsession With Healthy Eating? Causes, Symptoms And Treatments
Orthorexia or Orthorexia Nervosa is a type of eating disorder characterised by an obsession with healthy eating habits. People with the condition get so obsessed with "healthy eating" that it starts affecting their well-being in a negative way.
Some studies link orthorexia with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Although orthorexia is not yet classified as a disorder in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), it is a serious mental health disorder that can lead to physical and psychological distress. [1]
Take a look at the details.
Causes Of Orthorexia Nervosa
There are many factors that may cause orthorexia. In most cases, orthorexia begins as a genuine desire to live a healthier lifestyle. Soon, a person may begin to eliminate foods from their diet until they are only eating foods prepared in specific ways, like with no sugar or specific cooking oils.
They will spend most of their time thinking about food and how they can eat 'clean' and 'pure'. Soon, they may also obsess over the calories they consume and become overly concerned about the health benefits of the foods they eat and how they were processed and prepared.
These habits soon become an obsession, and patients with orthorexia will try to keep themselves healthy to the point where they start avoiding foods that are necessary for their health and well-being. [2]
Other factors may include history of eating disorder, history of anxiety and childhood trauma such as being teased for weight.
Symptoms Of Orthorexia Nervosa
Some of the symptoms or behavioural changes in people with orthorexia may include: [3]
- Getting too obsessed with the types of foods and how they affect health in terms of digestion, anxiety, allergies, low mood, etc.
- A general habit of avoiding food to avoid ailments.
- Checking ingredient lists and nutrition labels obsessively.
- Eliminating large groups of food such as carbs, gluten and fats from their diet for no medical, religious, cultural, or ethical reasons.
- Spending unnecessary time planning, buying and preparing meals they think are healthy, to the point that it interferes with other aspects of life.
- More inclined towards consuming herbal products.
- Obsessed with washing food items or sterilisation of utensils.
- Avoiding social gatherings to avoid 'unhealthy food', making them vulnerable to serious mental illnesses and complications.
- They make their own dietary norms and follow them strictly. If the norms are violated for some reason, they develop a feeling of guilt, making them more orthorexic.
- Hating or dissatisfied with people who are not obsessed with healthy food.
- Avoiding food made by others, leading to problems in relationships.
Risk Factors Of Orthorexia Nervosa
Some of the risk factors for orthorexia may include:
- History of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- History of certain eating disorders.
- History of anxiety.
- Obsession with a perfect body image.
- Social factors like the use of social media, nutrition knowledge and stigmas related to weight. [4]
- Fear of contracting a disease or illness due to unhealthy eating habits.
Complications Of Orthorexia Nervosa
Orthorexia may lead to complications such as:
- Malnutrition
- Social isolation
- Other eating disorders like binge eating.
- Loss of relationships.
- Poor quality of life.
- Lower immune system.
- Emotional instability.
- Infertility.
- Chronic diseases like heart disease.
What Is Alagille Syndrome? Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis And Treatment
Diagnosis Of Orthorexia Nervosa
As aforementioned, experts do not recognise orthorexia as an official psychiatric disorder and thus, it does not come under the diagnostic criteria of DSM-5.
However, orthorexia does share characteristics with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety and anorexia, and some studies also consider the condition as a subset of these mental health disorders. [5]
Orthorexia is mainly diagnosed by a doctor, therapist or dietitian who is interviewing a person with the aforementioned symptoms. Some of the screening tools may include ORTO-15, Bratman Orthorexia Test (BOT) and Eating Habits Questionnaire (EHQ). [6]
A routine physical exam and blood work may be performed to check for nutritional deficiencies and other complications.
Treatments Of Orthorexia Nervosa
The treatment of orthorexia starts by identifying the condition. Some people may ignore their condition, which may lead to its severity.
The treatment methods for orthorexia may include:
- Psychotherapy: It helps treat underlying mental health conditions like anxiety and OCD that are causing orthorexia.
- Medications: Like serotonin reuptake inhibitors to treat anxiety and OCD symptoms.
- Psychoeducation: To correct illogical beliefs about foods, their preparation and their purity. [7]
- Behavioural therapy: It is centered on the patient's thoughts and beliefs and changes their negative thoughts about food with helpful and effective thoughts.
To Conclude
Eating healthy is good for health and well-being, however, getting obsessed with 'healthy eating' can be oxthorexic and may disturb the quality of life. Consult a medical expert if you suspect symptoms of orthorexia in yourself or any of your loved ones.

Dance Limerick presents Step Up Dance Project in a new performance
A MINORITY of GAA players have been accused of acting on the pitch but never dancing!
Drawing on GAA games and the communities involved in them, this year’s Step Up Dance Project presents a choreography by Fearghus Ó Conchúir to celebrate the commitment, care and passion it takes to make a strong team.
Dance Limerick presents Step Up Dance Project in a new performance: Abú – A shout of support and a wish for flourishing.
Two performances take place at UL GAA Pitch, The Pavilion at 6pm this Thursday, May 26 and in Ahane GAA Club on Friday, May 27 at 8pm.
The dance honours not only the stars on the pitch but also the people who aren’t always visible and aren’t always included. Abú was developed with input from clubs in Limerick and former county players including Niamh Mulcahy, 2019 Camogie All-Star, as well as Colm Moran, footballer and owner of FIT 100 Gym.
Powered by new music from award-winning rapper, producer and songwriter MuRli, Abú brings dynamic performances onto the pitch and into the heart.
The five exceptional dancers are Hannah Scully, Mia Bradley Evans, Michael McEvoy, Roberta Ceginskaite and Yumi Lee.
Ahane GAA and Camogie Club PRO Emer Kenny said they came to some of their training sessions and one of their matches to see the game in full flow.
"They will be performing in Mackey Park Ahane on Friday, May 27 at 8pm and it would be great to get a crowd out to watch their performance!" said Emer.

Congress has spent decades trying, and failing, to agree on any major gun reforms but some lawmakers say this is a moment when they must try again.
The odds of success are vanishingly slim, despite the horrifying killing on Tuesday of at least 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. There is little agreement between Democrats and Republicans over basic changes to background check laws, let alone more extensive measures to curb access to firearms in the country.
Still, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told NPR's All Things Considered that he is working with both parties to try to find common ground.
"Maybe I'm a fool for being the eternal optimist, but I'm just gonna stay at it for these next few days, the next week," Murphy said.
Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., are among the Republicans who say they are talking with Murphy about taking potential action. Murphy says that's a start but he's far from confident that he can find enough Republicans to join Democrats to get the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster.
"As we're talking, we're trying to figure out a process by which over the next week, Republicans and Democrats — a group of us — can sit down and try to hammer out a compromise," Murphy told NPR. "The chances are, well, less than 50-50 that we will find that compromise because there are probably four or five Republicans who would fairly easily support some commonsense measures. It's tougher to find the next five."
Murphy said one option could be a federal law allowing police or family members to petition to temporarily remove firearms from a gun owner who could pose a threat. Some states have enacted varying versions of those so-called "red flag" laws but no nationwide options exist.
Limited changes to background check laws are another possible target for bipartisan talks.
"Perhaps a smaller expansion of a background check system that would get more sales, but not all sales, checked for people's criminal and mental health history," Murphy said. "You know, those are the places where we might be able to get some compromise and I get it that that's not enough."
A history of failure, despite repeated tragedy
Murphy has been working for a decade, since the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, to advance gun control measures in Congress. He was elected to the Senate one month before 26 people, including 20 children under seven, were shot and killed at the school in the district he had represented in the House.
Murphy said he has "no idea what to tell these parents."
"Unfortunately, there's a community of victims from Sandy Hook to Parkland to Charleston, who can help you understand how they manage this grief," Murphy said. "But I also want them to know that there are people here in Washington who are not going to give up, who are going to try to honor the memory of these kids with action."
Sandy Hook Promise, a group founded and led by families of victims of that shooting, estimates that about 12 children die from gun violence each day in the United States. Nearly 950 school shootings have happened since the shooting at Sandy Hook.
Gun laws in the country have gone virtually unchanged since that time.
Frustrated Senators struggle to find any common ground on guns
Many Senators, Democrats in particular, were enraged that gun control still has virtually no chance of success.
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., fumed to reporters in the Capitol on Wednesday at the prospect of more inaction from Congress.
"How many parents yesterday had to find out that their child was murdered in their classroom and to think the federal government would do absolutely nothing about it is just crazy," Kelly said. "It's f****** nuts to do nothing about this."
Kelly has a deeply personal connection to gun violence and gun control advocacy. His wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head at a "Congress on Your Corner" event in her home state of Arizona.
Giffords survived but is permanently impaired. Six others died in the shooting. Giffords and Kelly launched the gun control advocacy group Americans for Responsible Solutions in 2013, seven years before Kelly ran for Senate.
Democrats often blame Republicans, saying they need GOP votes to overcome a filibuster. The only other option for legislative action is for all 50 senators who vote with Democrats to unite to end or change the filibuster.
But gun control is another issue — like abortion rights, climate change, police reform and voting reform — where Democrats lack unanimity.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., remains opposed to voting to end the filibuster, for any reason. He told reporters Wednesday that he wants to pass consensus gun measures. Manchin said eliminating the filibuster for controversial legislation gives Republicans incentive to use that same, lower vote requirement to overturn the policy if and when they take control of the Senate in the future.
"Everyone wants to go to 'filibuster, filibuster, filibuster, just get rid of it, that's the easy way out,'" Manchin said. "What makes you say they won't reverse it immediately if they don't like what we do?"
Manchin isn't the only Democrat who has been reluctant to support more aggressive changes to gun laws, like banning assault weapons or limiting the capacity of high-volume cartridges.
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said lawmakers need to start with modest changes, like background checks because those are the bills that have a chance of passing.
"We're talking about background checks," Tester told a group of reporters. "We talk about anything more than that I think we're just silly, because it ain't going to pass if you can't get background checks done."
When pressed about why it would be silly to try for more aggressive legislation, Tester grew visibly frustrated.
"Kids got killed yesterday for Christ's sakes," Tester shouted. "Let's talk about what can be done. Let's talk about what can be done."
A distant hope for consensus
Some Republicans agree with Murphy that red flag laws and background checks are the most likely targets for compromise.
But not all Republicans agree on which elements of those bills should be handled at the federal level. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told reporters that states should be consider limits like red flag laws and leave other issues to congress.
"The federal government should take responsibility for improving our background check capacity," Romney said. "The gun laws and processes for enforcing them should be handled at the state levels."
For Collins, red flag laws and other interventions to get guns out of the hands of people who are mentally ill, would help lower the number of shootings.
"That's the kind of law that could have made a difference in this case," Collins said. "I really think our focus should be on looking at what some states have done on red flag or yellow flag laws."
Others, like Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., were unable to identify any federal interventions they thought would help.
"Congress has tried for years to do different things but in each particular case if someone wants to violate a law they're going to violate a law," Rounds said. "So if you make a law and they violate the law then you say that Congress didn't do anything."
That lack of agreement led to familiar despair for some. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., was blunt.
"This is a bad day for anything even vaguely looking like hope or optimism around legislative process or progress," he told reporters in the Capitol. "Usually I want to be more optimistic. But I don't think it'll change."

PRINCETON — Mercer County is seeing more new COVID cases, as well as evidence of a greater spread with the virus detected in wastewater testing.
Bonnie Allen, administrator of the Mercer County Health Department, told county Board of Health members Wednesday 77 new cases were reported this week, up from 55 at the end of last week.
“I don’t know how accurate that is with home tests,” she said, referring to an expected undercount of positive cases because home test results are generally not reported. But cases are “trending upward.”
The wastewater testing also indicates significant spread.
“West Virginia University does wastewater testing for the COVID virus throughout the state,” she said. “Our area was in the red, which was an increase.”
A red category indicates a high rate of community transmission of the virus.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) started the National Wastewater Surveillance System in September 2020 to help track the spread of the virus.
Allen said the health department is also seeing some lists from area schools with positive cases, as well as small outbreaks in long-term care facilities.
“Several places that went through all of COVID with no problems now have outbreaks because Medicare insisted they open everything back up,” she said of some long-term care facilities.
However, Allen said the COVID variant spreading now, which state officials have indicated is Omicron BA.2.12.1, does not seem to have as severe an impact as previous variants, with fewer people needing to be hospitalized.
Allen said it primarily has severe repercussions in people with a co-morbidity, or serious underlying medical issues.
The increase in cases has prompted a renewed emphasis on getting vaccinations and boosters, but Allen said the numbers have been dropping at vaccine clinics the health department hosts each week.
“The COVID vaccine clinics are slowing back down,” she said. “They had approximately 80 last week, mostly adult boosters.”
Allen said the clinics, which are held at the Princeton Rescue Squad’s Karen Preservati Education Center each Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m., are also now offering boosters for the age 5 to 11 group.
According to the state Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), only 55 percent of county residents 18 and over are fully vaccinated and only 30 percent have had booster shots.
Since the pandemic began, Mercer County has reported almost 13,000 positive COVID cases and 266 COVID-related deaths, according to the DHHR.
Statewide cases continue to rise as well.
On April 6, the DHHR reported an average of 66 new COVID cases a day over a 7-day period, a number that had increased to 534 a day on Wednesday.

States divided on gun controls, even as mass shootings rise
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee was quick to react to this week’s carnage at a Texas elementary school, sending a tweet listing the gun control measures the Democratic-controlled state has taken. He finished with: “Your turn Congress.”
But gun control measures are likely going nowhere in Congress, and they also have become increasingly scarce in most states. Aside from several Democratic-controlled states, the majority have taken no action on gun control in recent years or have moved aggressively to expand gun rights.
That’s because they are either controlled politically by Republicans who oppose gun restrictions or are politically divided, leading to stalemate.
“Here I am in a position where I can do something, I can introduce legislation, and yet to know that it almost certainly is not going to go anywhere is a feeling of helplessness,” said state Sen. Greg Leding, a Democrat in the GOP-controlled Arkansas Legislature. He has pushed unsuccessfully for red flag laws that would allow authorities to remove firearms from those determined to be a danger to themselves or others.
After Tuesday’s massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 students and two teachers dead, Democratic governors and lawmakers across the country issued impassioned pleas for Congress and their own legislatures to pass gun restrictions. Republicans have mostly called for more efforts to address mental health and to shore up protections at schools, such as adding security guards.
Among them is Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has repeatedly talked about mental health struggles among young people and said tougher gun laws in places like New York and California are ineffective. In Tennessee, GOP Rep. Jeremy Faison tweeted that the state needs to have security officers “in all of our schools,” but stopped short of promising to introduce legislation during next year’s legislative session: “Evil exists and we must protect the innocent from it,” Faison said.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has repeatedly clashed with the GOP-controlled Legislature over gun laws. He has called for passage of universal background checks and “red flag” laws, only to be ignored by Republicans. Earlier this year, the Democrat vetoed a Republican bill that would have allowed holders of concealed carry permits to have firearms in vehicles on school grounds and in churches located on the grounds of a private school.
“We cannot accept that gun violence just happens,” Evers said in a tweet. “We cannot accept that kids might go to school and never come home. We cannot accept the outright refusal of elected officials to act.”
On Wednesday, a day after the Texas shooting, legislative Democrats asked that the Wisconsin gun safety bills be taken up again, apparently to no avail. Republican Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos did not return messages seeking their response.
In Pennsylvania, an effort by Democratic lawmakers Wednesday in the GOP-controlled Legislature to ban owning, selling or making high-capacity, semi-automatic firearms failed, as House Republicans displayed their firm opposition to gun restrictions. The GOP-majority Legislature has rejected appeals by Democratic governors over the past two decades to tighten gun control laws, including taking steps such as expanding background checks or limiting the number of handgun purchases one person can make in a month.
The situation is similar in Michigan, which has a Democratic governor and Republican-controlled Legislature. On Wednesday, Democrats in the state Senate were thwarted in their efforts to advance a group of bills that would require gun owners to lock up their firearms and keep them away from minors.
“Every day we don’t take action, we are choosing guns over children,” said Democratic Sen. Rosemary Bayer, whose district includes a high school where a teen was charged in a shooting that killed four in November and whose parents are charged with involuntary manslaughter, accused of failing to lock up their gun. “Enough is enough. No more prayers, no more thoughts, no more inaction.”
Republican state Sen. Ken Horn responded by urging discussion about the other potential causes of gun violence.
“I would just point out that there are political solutions, but there are just as many spiritual solutions,” he said. “We don’t know what’s really happening in this world, what’s happening in this country, what’s happening to young men.”
Florida stands out as a Republican-controlled state that took action. The 2018 shooting at a high school in Parkland that left 14 students and three staff members dead prompted lawmakers there to pass a law with a red flag provision that lets law enforcement officers petition a court to have guns confiscated from a person considered a threat.
Democrats now want that expanded to allow family members or roommates to make the same request of the courts, but there has been little appetite among Republicans to amend the law. Instead, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis said he wants lawmakers to allow people to carry handguns without a permit. The state currently requires a concealed weapons license.
While Republicans have supported red flag laws in some other states, most legislative action around gun control in recent years has been in states led by Democrats.
In Washington state, the governor earlier this year signed a package of bills related to firearm magazine limits, ghost guns and adding more locations where guns are prohibited, including ballot counting sites.
In California on Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom and top Democratic legislative leaders vowed to fast-track gun legislation, identifying about a dozen bills they plan to pass this year. Newsom highlighted a bill that would let private citizens enforce a ban on assault weapons by filing lawsuits – similar to a law in Texas that bans most abortions through civil enforcement.
Oregon’s Democratically controlled Legislature has passed bills that require background checks, prohibit guns on public school grounds, allow firearms to be taken from those who pose a risk and ensure safe storage of firearms. On Wednesday, a group of six Democrats said more must be done after the mass shooting in Texas and the racially motivated massacre in Buffalo, New York. They pledged additional action next year.
“We ran for office to solve big problems and make life better for our constituents — and that includes taking on the gun lobby and politicians that place profits and political power over children’s lives,” they said in a joint statement.
But there are limits even in some Democratic-controlled states, underscoring the challenge of gaining consensus to combat the rising frequency of mass shootings in the U.S.
Rhode Island has passed restrictions in recent years that include measures to ban firearms from school grounds and close the “straw purchasing” loophole that had allowed people to buy guns for someone else. But bills that would ban high-capacity ammunition magazines and assault weapons have been bottled up in committee, in part because the overwhelmingly Democratic chamber includes many lawmakers who have opposed the measures, citing their support for the Second Amendment.
In Connecticut, gun violence legislation supported by both parties swiftly followed after 20 children and six staff members were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. But additional gun control measures stalled this year in the Democratic-led General Assembly, in large part because of a short legislative session and threats by Republicans to hold up legislation through a filibuster.
Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont said Wednesday he’s uncertain whether he will call a special session on the bills. They would put limits on bulk purchases of firearms and require the registration of so-called ghost guns, untraceable firearms that can be assembled at home.
“I think it’s become an incredibly partisan argument right now in our society,” Lamont said. “It wasn’t that way, you know, 30, 40 years ago. So that is disturbing, even in a state like Connecticut, where after Sandy Hook we had strong bipartisan support.”

Kolkata: Talismanic batter Virat Kohli praised the "very, very special" performance of Rajat Patidar, the unlikely hero of Royal Challengers Bangalore's 14-run win in the IPL 2022 Eliminator over newbies Lucknow Super Giants.
On Wednesday, at the Eden Gardens, Patidar cruised to a 49-ball century to remain unbeaten on 112 to set the base for Bangalore's victory and set up their Qualifier 2 clash with Rajasthan Royals on Friday in Ahmedabad.
"The magnitude of the game was so big that I was feeling the tension in the air because I have been in those situations where you have to cross the line as a team. What he did was very, very special, I don't think that anyone should take that for granted. You should understand the excellence of the innings and appreciate as a cricketer to watch an innings like that," said Kohli in a post-match chat video with Patidar uploaded on IPL website.
Patidar, a top-order batter from Madhya Pradesh who was drafted into the side midway through the tournament as an injury replacement for Luvnith Sisodia, came to Bangalore's rescue after Faf du Plessis fell for a golden duck. His knock, laced with 12 boundaries and seven sixes, at a strike rate of 207.41, enthralled the capacity crowd at the stadium.
"I told him as well after the game as well that I have seen many impact innings and many innings under pressure over so many years. I have not seen many better than how Rajat played today. Under pressure, big game, first uncapped player in the history of IPL to get a hundred in play-offs," added Kohli.
Asked about his mindset while coming out to bat, Patidar explained, "Seriously, there was pressure but I had the belief that if I stitch a partnership, I can get the team to a good position. It didn't matter to me if I had played a few dot balls initially and had the trust that I could cover up for it if I stayed at the wicket for long. I had in mind that if a dot ball is played, then the mind will not be in pressure and irrespective of the bowler in front, can cover up later."
Patidar put on key partnerships for Bangalore, starting from a 66-run stand with Kohli, who made 25 and followed it up with a whirlwind partnership of 92 runs with wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, who was unbeaten on 37 off 23 balls. "The innings I had played till now (in the tournament), it was played till 14-15 overs. Here, a couple of wickets fell and I had in my mind that if I save my end and get some runs, will take the team to a safe position. That was my focus," added Patidar.
Lucknow came close to chasing 208 but when K L Rahul fell in the 19th over to pacer Josh Hazlewood, the fate of the match was sealed effectively in Bangalore's favour. "During the chase, I felt if K L Rahul played till the end, then the match could be gone out of the hand. I was thinking that no matter what happens, someone get K L Rahul out so that we can come on top," stated Patidar.
Echoing the same sentiment as Patidar's, Kohli added, "At the end, there were a few tense moments. Obviously, it was a big game, but I think our bowlers held their nerve very well. Waniya (Hasaranga) how he bowled through his middle overs was outstanding. Josh (Hazlewood) bowling that important over in the end, and getting two wickets for us was crucial. Harshal was unbelievable while Siraj with the new ball was great and Shahbaz bowled his four overs well."
Bangalore will travel to Ahmedabad to take on Rajasthan in Qualifier 2 on Friday, where the winner of the match will face Gujarat Titans in the title clash at the same venue on Sunday. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/05/26/very-very-special-says-kohli-about-patidars-ton.html | 2022-05-26T11:36:51Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/cricket/2022/05/26/very-very-special-says-kohli-about-patidars-ton.html | true | 7 |
It is no secret that Yorkshire is home to some incredible attractions, historic buildings and wonderful art galleries and museums.
Therefore it is also unsurprising that one of Yorkshire's most stunning stately homes has been listed among the best heritage attractions to visit by car in the UK. Goldsborough Hall in the Harrogate district, used to be home to Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary.
Princess Mary, the sister of Kings Edward VIII and George VI, and aunt of Queen Elizabeth II, lived at Goldsborough Hall during the 20th century. Today, the historic house, which is set in beautifully landscaped grounds, offers five-star luxury accommodation and 3 AA rosette dining.
Its award-winning gardens are open to visitors on selected dates and the 16th-century house can also be hired for private weddings and functions. Dubbed a "hidden gem" by its owners, the stately home has now been named among the "must-visit destinations" to travel to by car this summer.
The research, conducted by car maintenance brand Prestone, was based on data gathered on hundreds of attractions around the UK and took into account a range of factors such as the average weather temperature, average rainfall, average customer star rating and the average Google search volume.
Goldsborough Hall was ranked 23rd out of 100 sites listed with Windsor Castle, Blenheim Palace and the Tower of London clinching the top spots. It was ranked the highest out of all attracitons in Yorkshire, with other places on the list in our region, including Harewood House near Leeds, Ripley Castle and Scarborough Castle.

Who is XXXTentacion’s ex-girlfriend Genevas Ayala and what did she say about the rapper’s death
RAPPER XXXTentacion's death in Miami triggered a fresh look into a series of domestic abuse allegations against him.
And with new details set to emerge in a documentary, here's what we know about his ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala and her relationship with the 20-year-old musician.
Who is Geneva Ayala?
Geneva Ayala is the ex-girlfriend of rapper XXXTentacion, the 20-year-old shot dead in a suspected robbery in Miami, Florida, on June 18.
She had claimed the artist - whose real name was Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy - physically and verbally abused her during their relationship.
According to the Miami New Times, Geneva is two years older than Onfroy.
The Times reported how a chaotic home life led her to move in with her grandmother at the age of 4, and then back in with her mum when she was 12.
When Geneva was 16, her pregnant mum ordered her to move out after deciding to move in with her boyfriend.
Her relationship with Onfroy allegedly started after a previous ex-boyfriend posted an illicit picture of Ayala without consent.
Despite not knowing her, Onfroy insisted on fighting her boyfriend, and the pair met for the first time in November 2014.
After four intense days together, they parted and didn't see each other for another 18 months, when their allegedly toxic relationship resumed.
MORE ON RAPPERS
What did XXXTentacion’s ex-girlfriend say about his death and the abuse allegations?
Writing on Twitter after Onfroy's deathin 2018, Ayala said: "It's disgusting the people are speaking for me.
"I don’t care if no one cared about me however many months ago, I didn’t lose my life. he did.
"It’s permanent. I'm still here. like how do you think that makes me feel?
"Everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! No, I’m broken".
She later claimed she was kicked out of a vigil held for the rapper the day after his death.
Posting on Instagram, she shared a picture of tributes she had taken to the scene followed by another snap of them seemingly burnt.
Ayala wrote: "THEY BURNED THE S**T I LEFT THEY BURNED WHAT I BROUGHT FOR HIM IM SO MAD LIKE IM SCREAMING".
XXXTentacion was awaiting trial for allegedly assaulting Ms Ayala when he was fatally shot outside a motorcycle dealership in Miami.
In interview with the Miami Mew Times released days before his death, Ayala told how she was subjected to five months of physical and verbal assault.
Ayala reportedly told prosecutors that during one fight, he threatened to sexually attack her and would assault her “every three or four days".
She told the Miami New Times: “His favourite thing was to just backhand my mouth. That always left welts inside my lips.”
The first reported incident came two weeks after they moved in together in May 2016, when he allegedly smashed her iPhone 6S after she complimented a male friend on his jewellery.
A full 142 page testimony published by Pitchfork alleges he threatened to penetrate her vagina with a barbecue fork, and on a separate occasion held her head under running water in the bathtub.
In one alleged fit of rage in October 2016, Ayala claims Onfroy punched, slapped, elbowed, strangled, and head-butted her with unprecedented force.
He then is reported to have confiscated her phone and kept her in a room for days - before she escaped and reported Onfroy to the police.
The next morning, Sweetwater Police arrested Onfroy and later charged him with aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness tampering.
On November 27, 2017, Onfroy's attorneys submitted a document signed by Ayala, stating she would not testify against him in court - later saying she was too scared to do so.
Ayala later set up a GoFundMe campaign to crowdsource the $20,000 needed to repair nerve damage and a fracture near her eye following one of the alleged attacks.
The page quickly raised several thousand dollars, including $5,000 from Onfroy himself.
But within a week, GoFundMe received reports that Ayala had misrepesented the cause of her injuries, and the website deleted the page, freezing the funds.
The page was later reactivated as Ayala went onto receive more than $36,000 from the public.
NEW DOCUMENTARY
A documentary Look At Me, released on May 26, 2022, was later released featuring testimony from the late rapper’s family, divulging details of his troubled life, including the battery assault allegations that he publicly denied while he was alive.
Director, Sabaah Foloyan, said the documentary about the Florida musician would have to honestly confront “the good, the bad and the ugly."
Backing Ayala's claims, she said: “Women don’t have any incentive to lie about abuse allegations."
Ahead of the documentary's release, Ayala claimed she was "vilified" by members of X's fanbase after his death.
She told The Daily Beast: “Everyone was like, you are ruining his career, but at the same time I felt my whole life was ruined because nobody even cared.
"After that I was homeless, I lived in a hotel almost a year after that. I was just trying to say what happened. If you are going to think I’m a liar, I’m a liar."
She continued: "How am I supposed to fight that? I’m only one person. It was a really dark moment for me. There was no way to stop it. He had the power to do all that.”
According to the outlet, the film displays photos of the then-19-year-old with the injuries she sustained during the alleged 2016 incident - including extensive bruising.
Ayala added: “I didn’t want anyone to go to jail, but I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t aware that it was all going to crumble down onto him like that.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Boeing’s crew taxi returned to Earth from the International Space Station on Wednesday, completing a repeat test flight before NASA astronauts climb aboard.
It was a quick trip back: The Starliner capsule parachuted into the New Mexico desert just four hours after leaving the orbiting lab, with airbags attached to cushion the landing. Only a mannequin was on board.
Aside from thruster failures and cooling system snags, Starliner appeared to clinch its high-stakes shakedown cruise, 2 1/2 years after its botched first try.
NASA astronauts will strap in next for a trip to the space station. The space agency has long wanted two competing U.S. companies ferrying astronauts, for added insurance as it drastically reduced its reliance on Russia for rides to and from the space station.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is already the established leader, launching astronauts since 2020 and even tourists. Its crew capsules splash down off the Florida coast, Boeing’s Starliner returns to the Army’s expansive and desolate White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
Boeing scrapped its first attempt to reach the space station in 2019, after software errors left the capsule in the wrong orbit and nearly doomed it. The company fixed the flaws and tried again last summer, but corroded valves halted the countdown. Following more repairs, Starliner finally lifted off from Cape Canaveral last Thursday and docked to the space station Friday.
Station astronauts tested Starliner’s communication and computer systems during its five days at the space station. They also unloaded hundreds of pounds (kilograms) of groceries and other supplies that flew up in the Boeing capsule, then filled it with empty air tanks and other discarded gear.
A folded U.S. flag sent up by Boeing stayed behind, to be retrieved by the first Starliner crew.
“We’re a little sad to see her go,” station astronaut Bob Hines radioed as the capsule flew away.
Along for the ride was Starliner’s test dummy — Rosie the Rocketeer, a takeoff on World War II’s Rosie the Riveter.
The repairs and do-over cost Boeing nearly $600 million.

As Ukraine war grinds, world pushes for way to get grain out
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia pressed Thursday for the West to lift sanctions imposed because of its war in Ukraine, claiming without proof that the punitive measures are preventing millions of tons of grain and other agricultural products from leaving Ukrainian ports, exacerbating a global food crisis.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but the war, including a Russian blockade of its ports, has prevented most of those products from leaving the country, endangering the world food supply.
But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov sought to shift the blame to Western sanctions on Thursday. “We accuse Western countries of taking a series of unlawful actions that has led to the blockade.”
GRAPHIC WARNING: Videos in this story may include disturbing content.
Western officials have dismissed Russia’s claims that sanctions are responsible. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted this week that food, fertilizer and seeds are exempt from sanctions imposed by the U.S. and many others — and that Washington is working to ensure countries know the flow of those goods should not be affected.
With the war grinding into its fourth month, world leaders ramped up calls for solutions this week.
“This food crisis is real, and we must find solutions,” World Trade Organization Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday. “If we don’t find solutions, of course the countries that will suffer will be the poorer countries of the world.”
She said about 25 million tons of Ukrainian grain is presently in storage and another 25 million tons could be harvested next month.
The Russian Defense Ministry proposed Wednesday to open a corridor to allow foreign ships to leave Black Sea ports and another to allow vessels to leave Mariupol on the Azov Sea. But Russia said the Mariupol port in particular had to be cleared of mines first. Ukraine expressed skepticism about that proposal.
Speaking in Davos, Switzerland, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Ukraine was ready to agree on safe corridors in principle — but that it was not sure if it could trust Russia to abide by any agreement.
The issue, he said, was “how to guarantee that the moment we will create this safe passage and the entry to the harbor is demined, how to make sure that at night or early in the morning, Russia will not violate the agreement on the safe passage and its military vessels will not sneak into the harbor and attack Odesa.”
European countries have tried to ease the crisis by bringing grain out of the country by rail — but trains can carry just a small fraction of what Ukraine produces, and ships are needed to do the bulk of the exports.
Mikhail Mizintsev, who heads Russia’s National Defense Control Center, said 70 foreign vessels from 16 countries are now in six ports on the Black Sea, including Odesa, Kherson and Mykolaiv. He did not specify how many might be ready to carry food.
On the battlefield, the General Staff of the Ukrainian military said Thursday that the Russian forces continued attempts to press their offensive in several sections of the frontline Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. That industrial heartland of coal mines and factories is now the focus of fighting after Russia suffered a series of setbacks and war forced to pursue more limited goals.
Military officials said Russian forces continued their efforts to gain a foothold in the area of Sievierodonetsk, which is the only part of the Luhansk region of the Donbas in Ukrainian government control.
They also said Russia also launched missile and airstrikes at infrastructure facilities across the country.

Thursday, May 26, 2022 – Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, has once again proved that the Kenya Kwanza brigade has no agenda to sell to Kenyans.
After raising serious concerns by vowing to sell bigger companies like Safaricom and give the proceeds to mama mbogas and bodabodas as handouts, Gachagua has once again disappointed Kenyans.
This is after he attacked ODM Leader Raila Odinga instead of selling the Kenya Kwanza agenda to Kenyans.
Speaking during the Kenya Kwanza consultations, Gachagua said that the Kenya Kwanza coalition doesn’t have a problem with ODM leader Raila Odinga becoming president in August.
However, he said that their problem with Raila is that he will fall asleep in every cabinet meeting if he succeeds President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Hata hatuna ubaya na huyu Kitendawili… Hata tunaweza samehe yeye makosa yake yote lakini huyu mzee wa miaka 80 ataweza hiyo kazi?”
“Mkutano wa baraza la mawaziri huanza asubuhi hadi jioni. Sasa akiingia saa mbilikufika saa tano atakuwa amelala ama hajalala?” Gachagua said.
Gachagua further exuded confidence that William Ruto will beat former Prime Minister Raila Odinga hands down in this year’s presidential race.
According to Mathira legislator, Raila is a reject who has been rejected by Kenyans in the last four General Elections, and the same voting trend is expected in the August 9, General Election

Which Asics running shoes are best?
What’s great about running is that you can do it almost anywhere and you don’t need much equipment except for a good pair of shoes. Running shoes are designed to provide the support and cushioning needed to improve performance and prevent injury.
Asics was founded in Kobe, Japan, in 1949 to uplift and inspire the Japanese youth to develop a more active lifestyle. It is now a brand that makes a wide variety of athletic shoes, but it has become known specifically for its running shoes.
Finding the right pair of Asics running shoes depends on the type of running you do, but generally, the best is Asics Gel-Venture 7 Running Shoes.
What to know before you buy Asics running shoes
Trail running shoes
Not all running shoes are created equal, and shoes have features designed with specific surfaces and goals in mind.
Trail running shoes are specifically designed to provide support and cushion when running on uneven terrain. They tend to be heavier than the average running shoe and have a thicker bottom tread to create a better grip.
If you’re a serious trail runner who plans to run long distances or venture off the beaten path, you want to make sure you’re prepared. You might benefit from a running backpack or a running watch to enhance performance even further.
Further vs. faster
Running shoes can vary, and so do runners. You want to consider your personal goals before selecting a running shoe. Asics has made that process easier by designing running shoes that fit into two categories:
- Further: These shoes are more durable and built for distance.
- Faster: These shoes are lighter and designed to help you achieve your best time.
Sizing
Asics running shoes come in all standard sizes. However, since cushion, fit and support are so important in a quality running shoe, you also want to consider width and pronation. Pronation is how your foot rolls after your heel lands on the ground, and it’s slightly different for everyone. Asics has designed shoes for overpronation and underpronation to help you avoid common injuries associated with each condition.
What to look for in quality Asics running shoes
Recycled materials
To minimize the environmental footprint of its products, Asics has begun replacing standard polyester in its shoes and outerwear with recycled polyester. The goal is for the company to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
Guidesole
This shock-absorbing technology was designed to propel you forward and create a more efficient stride by reducing ankle flexion. This means your leg muscles won’t have to work as hard. The result is that you may feel less fatigued during long runs.
FlyteFoam
This technology makes Asics running shoes lightweight without compromising cushion and fit. It uses ballistic-grade, elastic fibers commonly found in bulletproof vests to create a sole with 75% more cushion while being 55% lighter.
Gel technology
Strategically placing the gel in the rear and forefoot reduces impact and improves shock absorption when running. The Asics running shoes that use this technology provide more stability and increased comfort over long distances. This lets you run more naturally, so you can improve your performance.
How much you can expect to spend on Asics running shoes
The cost of Asics running shoes can vary depending on the size, model and if it’s a newer or older line, but they start at $35 and go up to $350.
Asics running shoes FAQ
How long do Asics running shoes last?
A. It depends on how much you run, the conditions and the surface type. Your weight and running style can also impact the lifespan of your running shoes. It’s recommended that you replace them every 300 to 500 miles.
Can running shoes be worn when playing other sports?
A. Yes, but it also depends on the sport because you might be more susceptible to injury if you aren’t wearing the proper shoes. Running shoes were designed to provide support when running. Your movements during other sports, such as basketball, are much different, so shoes for those sports are designed accordingly.
What are the best Asics running shoes to buy?

Asics Noosa TRI 13 Running Shoes
What you need to know: These elite running shoes were built for triathletes but can also benefit a wide range of runners.
What you’ll love: Lighter than the previous model, the Guidesole and FlyteFoam technologies take pressure off the lower body and reduce movement of the lower ankle, which helps runners feel fresh during long runs. The durable outsole was made to extend the life of the shoe.

Hospitals in Canada are facing a crisis-level shortage of critical supplies and equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. This motivates us to create predictive models that can use Canada COVID-19 data and pandemic-related factors to accurately forecast 5 quantities-three related to hospital resource utilization (i.e., the number of hospital beds, ICU beds, and ventilators that will be needed by COVID-19 patients) and two to the pandemic progress (i.e., the number of COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths)-several weeks in advance. We developed a machine learning method that can use information (i.e., resource utilization, pandemic progress, population mobility, weather condition, and public policy) currently known about a region since March 2020, to learn multiple temporal convolutional network (TCN) models every week; each used for forecasting the weekly average of one of these 5 quantities in Canada (respectively, in six specific provinces) for each, in the next 1 (resp., 2,3,4) weeks. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we compared our method, versus other standard models, on the COVID-19 data and hospital resource data, on the tasks of predicting the 116 values (for Canada and its six most populated provinces), every week from Oct 2020 to July 2021, and the 20 values (only for Canada) for four specific times within 9 July to 31 Dec 2021. Experimental results show that our 4640 TCN models (each forecasting a regional target for a specific future time, on a specific date) can produce accurate 1,2,3,4-week forecasts of the utilization of every hospital resource and pandemic progress for each week from 2 Oct 2020 to 2 July 2021, as well as 80 TCN models for each of the four specified times within 9 July and 31 Dec 2021. Compared to other baseline and state-of-the-art predictive models, our TCN models yielded the best forecasts, with the lowest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Additional experiments, on the IHME COVID-19 data, demonstrate the effectiveness of our TCN models, in comparison with IHME forecasts. Each of our TCN models used a pre-defined set of features; we experimentally validate the effectiveness of these features by showing that these models perform better than other models that instead used other features. Overall, these experimental results demonstrate that our method can accurately forecast hospital resource utilization and pandemic progress for Canada and for each of the six provinces. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2609501779058/oncogenic-circticrr-suppresses-autophagy-via-binding-to-hur-protein-and-stabilizing-glud1-mrna-in-cervical-cancer | 2022-05-26T11:44:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2609501779058/oncogenic-circticrr-suppresses-autophagy-via-binding-to-hur-protein-and-stabilizing-glud1-mrna-in-cervical-cancer | true | 30 |

Addressing working conditions will improve good health and wellbeing for all
‘Fair work’ is a critical building block for good health and well-being, and a healthy engaged workforce contributes to business productivity and societal prosperity, concludes a report and guide published by Public Health Wales.
Fair work is where workers are fairly rewarded, heard and represented, secure and able to progress in a healthy, inclusive environment where rights are respected.
Participation in fair work provides a sense of purpose and means that people have money and resources for a healthy life for them and their families. This reduces psychological stress, creates a stepping stone out of poverty and helps children have the best start in life. Fair work can contribute to an economy of well-being, improving outcomes for the whole population, including those most disadvantaged.
Dr Ciarán Humphreys, report co-author and Consultant in Public Health with the Wider Determinants of Health Unit, at Public Health Wales, said:
“People in Wales are dying early because of a lack of basic building blocks for health. Fair work, together with education, income, housing and our surroundings provide the building blocks to protect and build our health. Without these building blocks in place, people’s health and well-being suffer, leading to ill-health that is avoidable and unfair.
“Across Wales, before the pandemic over one in three premature years of life lost are linked to lack of basic building blocks for health. By strengthening these building blocks we can improve the health of our communities, especially those who need that support most.
“To address this, we convened an expert panel, with a wide range of expertise including academia, business, public and other sectors as well as lived experience, to support the development of recommendations to increase participation in fair work.
“By public bodies and organisations taking these recommendations forward and implementing a ‘Fair work’ mind set as an integral part of their planning processes, they and the communities they operate in can make a real difference where it counts; improving equity, adding years to life and realising co-benefits of increasing productivity, staff retention and in many cases, the bottom line.”
The Deputy Minister for Social Partnership, Hannah Blythyn said:
“The Welsh Government is committed to making Wales a fair work nation because a better deal for workers is key to a more prosperous and equal Wales. I am pleased Public Health Wales has clearly recognised that fair work is good for our mental and physical health and well-being. We all have a responsibility to take whatever steps we can to promote fair work and share good practice. And I welcome Public Health Wales commitment to playing their part in championing fair work and its benefits.”
The panel received evidence from Public Health Wales and subject experts, identified additional evidence, and brought member’s own expertise to formulate themes, opportunities and draft recommendations. Local authorities, health boards and others are asked to get best value for money getting better value for money through socially responsible procurement, partnering with business and addressing the barriers that stop some people accessing fair work.
These findings have been used to produce a guide and other material to influence local and regional partnerships to increase participation in fair work.

Tesco has urgently recalled the batch of frozen all-butter pastries because they may contain almonds - a warning which wasn't printed on the label.
The affected batch of croissants cost £2.50 and has a best before the date of September 2022. They are in six packs, weighing 255g with the batch code LL 111.
What has been said?
The batch of All Butter croissants may have mistakenly packed with other croissants containing almonds.
The Food Standards Agency said: "Tesco is recalling Tesco Frozen All Butter Croissants 6 pack because it may contain almonds (nuts) not mentioned on the label.
"Due to a packaging error, some packs may have been incorrectly packed with Tesco Frozen Almond Croissants, which contain almonds (nuts).
"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to almonds (nuts).
"If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to almonds (nuts) do not eat it.
"Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund."
Tesco is asking shoppers to return the item to the nearest store for a full refund. Usually, no receipt is required but you can check by phoning Tesco’s customer service on 0800 505555.
What are the symptoms of a nut allergy?
Sufferers of anaphylaxis, an acute allergic reaction, will need to be wary not to consume the product.
According to the NHS, symptoms of anaphylaxis are:
feeling lightheaded or faint
breathing difficulties – such as fast, shallow breathing
wheezing
a fast heartbeat
clammy skin
confusion and anxiety
collapsing or losing consciousness
There may also be other allergy symptoms, including an itchy, raised rash (hives); feeling or being sick; swelling (angioedema) or stomach pain.
The Anaphylaxis Campaign, which helps those allergic to nuts, said: "Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction affecting more than one body system such as the airways, heart, circulation, gut and skin.
"Symptoms can start within seconds or minutes of exposure to the food or substance you are allergic to and usually will progress rapidly. On rare occasions, there may be a delay in the onset of a few hours.
"The common causes include foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, sesame seeds and kiwi fruit, although many other foods have been known to trigger anaphylaxis.
"There may also be a dramatic fall in blood pressure (anaphylactic shock).
"This may lead to collapse, unconsciousness and - on rare occasions - death."
What to do if someone has anaphylaxis?
According to the NHS, if someone has the symptoms of anaphylaxis you should:
Use an adrenaline auto-injector if the person has one – but make sure you know how to use it correctly first.
Call 999 for an ambulance immediately (even if they start to feel better) – mention that you think the person has anaphylaxis.
Remove any trigger if possible – for example, carefully remove any stinger stuck in the skin.
Lie the person down and raise their legs – unless they're having breathing difficulties and need to sit up to help them breathe. If they're pregnant, lie them down on their left side.
Give another injection after 5 minutes if the symptoms do not improve and a second auto-injector is available.

Inspectors to HMP Winchester, a category B men’s prison with a separate category C unit, said the jail continued ‘to be one of the most violent prisons in the country’.
During a surprise trip to the jail in February, monitors blasted leadership at Winchester for allowing violence to fester and failing to implement some 29 recommendations made after a 2019 inspection.
There was little routine investigation of violent incidents. Charlie Taylor, chief inspector of prisons, said: ‘There was no meaningful strategy to understand and address the causes of violence within the main population.’
Inspectors also condemned the culture of locking inmates away with no work to keep the occupied or aid their rehabilitation.
A damning report into conditions found that many of the 492 inmates were locked in the cells for 22.5 hours a day, and even more at weekends.
Too many prisoners were unemployed, or not allocated to any activity. Across both sites, inspectors saw prisoners routinely sleeping their days away, jobless and demotivated.
Living conditions were far worse than in similar prisons and, in many areas, worse than at the time of the last inspection, the report said.
Prisoners complained to inspectors that they had nowhere to store possessions safely. Locked in their cells for most of the day, they had to eat their meals next to dirty, uncovered, and unscreened toilets.
A ‘decency policy’ had recently been introduced but there was little evidence of improvement as a result, inspectors added.
Meanwhile, a prison survey found 39 per cent of inmates questioned claimed it was easy to get illegal drugs and that the desire for them among inmates increased due to a ‘severely restricted regime, boredom and a lack of optimism that things would improve’.
Mr Taylor added: ‘There is no doubt that the pandemic has limited some of the progress at Winchester, but leaders have failed to show enough real, sustained grip.
‘If it is to improve from this disappointing inspection, the prison will need leaders to be active and visible on the wings, and set clear, measurable targets for improvement so that prisoners are safer, kept in decent conditions and given enough to do during the day.’ | https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/crime/winchester-prison-remains-one-of-britains-most-violent-as-damning-inspection-reveals-inmates-eat-food-next-to-filthy-toilets-3709961 | 2022-05-26T11:55:57Z | https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/crime/winchester-prison-remains-one-of-britains-most-violent-as-damning-inspection-reveals-inmates-eat-food-next-to-filthy-toilets-3709961 | true | 1 |

'He says that he is!' Kay Burley shuts down Labour MP's blistering attack on Johnson
SKY News host Kay Burley pointed out Boris Johnson had repeatedly apologised for conduct during lockdown as Labour MP Chris Bryant insisted he had not made amends for his behaviour.
Johnson 'doesn't believe he did anything wrong' says Labour MP
The Sky News presenter fact-checked the Labour chair of the Standards Committee after claiming Boris Johnson had not apologised to Number 10 cleaners for the conduct of his staff. The Prime Minister said he was "sorry" about his behaviour following the publication of the Sue Gray report, but insisted he would not be standing down as he was cleared of any additional wrongdoings after receiving a fine. Ms Burley said: "The Prime Minister has addressed that. He has apologised in person. To all of those involved. Let me move on."
Mr Bryant cut in: "No, sorry Kay, but he hasn't. He isn't.
He may sort of do that apology that he did in the House of Commons yesterday but that actually amounts to excuse after excuse after excuse.
“He doesn’t believe he did anything wrong or that anybody else did. He’s blind to his own failings.”
To which the Sky News presenter hit back: "Well, he says that he is. We're told he has apologised to some staff personally and he will apologise to more today when they come on their shift pattern.
"We have to accept that is what the Prime Minister has said, and he has done, and will be doing."
Mr Bryant however continued with his criticism of the Prime Minister: “It even existed within Downing Street itself so all the special advisors and the senior people were able to carry on as they wanted.
“When the cleaners and the security staff said, look this is just not right, you’re not abiding by the rules, they were told where to get off.
“It’s just morally indefensible I think.”
The Labour MP blasted the mistreatment of Downing Street staff by senior individuals who attended the boozy gatherings.

Ms Burley highlighted earlier comments made by the Downing Street Chief of Staff, Mr Barclay.
She said: “We’re told that he has apologised to some staff personally and he will apologise to more staff today when they come onto their shift pattern.
“We have to accept that is what the Prime Minister has done and that is what he will be doing.”
In conversation with Ms Burley, The Downing Street Chief of Staff asserted the Prime Minister had been “humbled” by the findings of the Sue Gray report and accepted “ultimate responsibility” for the lockdown breaches.

In his address to the House of Commons, Mr Johnson said: “Sue Gray’s report has emphasised that it is up to the political leadership in Number Ten to take the ultimate responsibility, and of course I do.”
The Prime Minister said he was “appalled” by evidence suggesting Downing Street cleaners and security staff were poorly treated by attendees of the lockdown gatherings.
He said: “ I would like to apologise to those members of staff and I expect anyone who behaved in that way to apologise to them as well.”
Though Mr Johnson acknowledged the importance of the report, he emphasised that the Government must now focus on delivering policy to address “the aftershocks of Covid.” | https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1616221/Kay-Burley-Labour-Chris-Bryant-Boris-Johnson-Sue-Gray-report-partygate-apology-vn | 2022-05-26T12:03:21Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1616221/Kay-Burley-Labour-Chris-Bryant-Boris-Johnson-Sue-Gray-report-partygate-apology-vn | false | 1 |

The last two years have seen many of us welcome a new four-legged friend into our homes, as the Kennel Club saw dog ownership rise by nearly eight per cent.
But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your perfect pup.
Those with active lifestyles might want to consider a larger dog, while somebody with allergies will be looking for a hypoallergenic dog.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
One dog that often appears at the top of people’s canine wishlists is the Pomeranian – they are one of the UK’s most popular small dogs and have a range of positive attributes that make them a great family pet.
Here are 10 fun and interesting facts about the breed.

12-year-old girl undergoes surgery for removal of stone in salivary gland at Delhi hospital
She was recommended to undergo an immediate removal of the stone through a new advanced technique, Sialo endoscopy, it said.In a rare case, the 1.6-mm stone present in one of the salivary glands the 12-year-old girl was successfully removed, it said.The surgery took place late April, a hospital spokesperson said, adding the patient is a resident of Delhi.We have a few salivary glands present in our head and neck region of the body which help in digestion and production of saliva.

- India
A 12-year-old girl got a new lease of life after undergoing a surgery for removal of a 1.6-mm stone present in one of the salivary glands at a private hospital here, authorities said on Wednesday.
The patient had presented at the hospital with complaint of persistent swelling and pain in the right side of her neck, especially while eating, they said. With her problem deteriorating following complaint of repeated swelling and pain in the neck, difficulty in breathing and eating solid or liquid food, the patient's family was referred to the Apollo hospital here by a local physician. Under the supervision of Dr Chanchal Pal, Senior Consultant, Department of ENT and Neck Surgery, at the facility, she was diagnosed with a stone of 1.6-mm in one of her salivary glands, the hospital said in a statement. She was recommended to undergo an immediate removal of the stone through a new advanced technique, Sialo endoscopy, it said.
''In a rare case, the 1.6-mm stone present in one of the salivary glands the 12-year-old girl was successfully removed,'' it said.
The surgery took place late April, a hospital spokesperson said, adding the patient is a resident of Delhi.
''We have a few salivary glands present in our head and neck region of the body which help in digestion and production of saliva. Sometimes due to infection or dehydration, stones can be formed in the tubes of the glands which ultimately stops the saliva production. ''Traditionally, the whole gland is removed is such conditions. But with the advancement in technology, stones can be removed through Sialo endoscopy,'' the statement quoting Dr Pal said. Sialo endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat and diagnose the disorders in salivary gland. Through the help of a small tube, the stone can be removed through this technique, the hospital said.
''Same was the case with the 12-year-old girl who was admitted with complaint of swelling and pain in neck while eating, for the past three months. If the condition was not addressed immediately, it would have led to infection and swelling of other salivary gland that could have spread to other parts of the body and caused additional complications,'' he said.
Therefore, her stone in salivary gland was successfully removed through Sialo endoscopic technique in a 30-minute procedure. It was easy to see stone but as it was smooth small stone so retrieval is not usually easy, the doctor said. This whole procedure was done from inside of the mouth as to avoid any trauma to nearby nerves and to avoid a mark on the neck. The post-operative period was uneventful and patient has returned to her home happily, the doctor added.

"I am very pleased with our first quarter results in which we accomplished 41% year-over-year growth compared to the same period last year. The first quarter results were driven by organic growth as well as contributions from the acquisitions we completed in 2021. The Company's growth has not been materially impacted by the significant supply chain disruptions, inflation and other macroeconomic challenges currently affecting other industries around the globe. Wishpond has a very diversified customer base of small-medium sized businesses and the demand for our products and services remains robust with organic growth over the past year largely due to investments we have made in our sales engine. I am particularly encouraged with the record monthly recurring revenue (MRR) we achieved in April after the slower months in the beginning of the year. Thus far in May we are on track to exceed April's performance with another record high for MRR, which sets the stage for strong financial performance for the second quarter and the year ahead."
First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Wishpond achieved quarterly revenue of $4,078,317 during Q1-2022, a 41% increase compared to revenue of $2,890,580 generated in the same period of 2021 (Q1-2021). The increase in revenue is attributable to the Company's expanded sales team, new product introductions and acquisitions.
- Wishpond achieved gross profit(1) of $2,536,195 in Q1-2022 compared to $1,796,936 in Q1-2021, representing a 41% increase from Q1-2021, driven by an increase in overall revenue. Wishpond achieved a gross margin(1) of 62% in Q1-2022 (62% in Q1-2021).
- Wishpond recorded an operating loss of $1,064,261 in Q1-2022 ($1,039,823 in Q1-2021). The operating loss reflects continued investment in sales and lead generation, as well as in product development.
- In Q1-2022, Wishpond had negative Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $440,519 (negative $318,779 in Q1-2021). The decrease is primarily attributed to higher investment in both the sales and product development areas of the Company in preparation for strong anticipated growth in the second half of fiscal year 2022.
- As at March 31, 2022, Wishpond had $4,487,151 in cash and no debt (December 31, 2021: cash of $6,242,453 and no debt). The reduction in cash balances were caused in part by payment of earnouts for businesses acquired in 2021, investment in the business and changes in working capital.
First Quarter 2022 Business Highlights:
- On January 10, 2022, the Company announced the appointment of David Pais as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Mr. Pais has responsibility for all finance, accounting, financial reporting, audit, tax and capital planning functions.
- On January 20, 2022, Wishpond announced that it had completed the integration of Brax, and launched a Universal Ads Editor, providing customers with a faster way to create, launch and monitor campaign performance across multiple platforms – all from one product.
- On March 3, 2022, the Company announced its new email marketing platform to help small businesses achieve higher levels of engagement, increase email open rates, improve conversion rates and generate higher return on investment. The new email marketing platform includes a new user-friendly interface, the ability to preview email text, support for Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) and a new Email application programming interface (API).
- On March 17, 2022, the Company announced a partnership with J.P. Libros Ediciones Oklever, S.A. De C.V. ("LaLeo"), the largest medical eCommerce platform in Mexico and Latin America. Under the partnership, Wishpond and LaLeo will sell and support Invigo's EvergeniusTM software platform to its medical and dental customers in Latin America.
Events Subsequent to March 31, 2022:
- On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and specific liabilities of Viral Loops Ltd. ("Viral Loops"). Viral Loops is a Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") company which helps its customers design, create and manage campaigns that result in higher referral visits and revenue for their eCommerce merchants. In consideration for the Viral Loops acquisition, Wishpond provided a cash payment of US$1,380,000 and a one-year performance earn-out that may be paid in cash or by the issuance of the Company's Shares, at the sole discretion of the Company. The one-year earn-out will be based on the projected revenue of the business and is payable on a quarterly basis.
- On April 20, 2022, the Company announced that the number of Winback's customer installations had increased by over 50%, including more than 180 Wishpond clients who are now trialing the platform under promotional pricing plans. Wishpond also developed and launched new innovative features to the Winback platform over the last quarter.
- On May 3, 2022, the Company announced it achieved record monthly recurring revenue in April 2022. Wishpond's PersistIQ subsidiary exceeded expectations, recording a record high for MRR in April 2022. The Company also saw a rebound in Brax's ad management revenue which was negatively affected by seasonality in Q1-2022. Winback has proven to be a strong solution for cross-selling to Wishpond's existing customers; increasing the stickiness of Wishpond's incumbent customers. Meanwhile, Viral Loops also reported an excellent MRR in its first month as a Wishpond subsidiary in April.
- On May 3, 2022, the Company announced that it will pay earn-out payments of $544,388 and $189,921 by the issuance of 460,408 and 156,933 common shares in connection with the Company's PersistIQ and Brax acquisitions, respectively.
Outlook:
Management believes that Wishpond's outlook remains positive with strong revenue growth expected in 2022 driven by increased capacity in the Company's sales team, positive contributions from its acquisitions and new product related revenues. Wishpond expects revenue and earnings growth to accelerate in the second half of 2022 with the integration of its recent acquisitions, and an increase in cross-selling opportunities between products and solutions offered across all of its product lines.
Despite the current turbulent macroeconomic backdrop highlighted by high inflation and increasing interest rates, Wishpond believes it remains well positioned for continued growth with increasing revenue and improving cash flows in each successive quarter in 2022. In line with the Company's focus on profitable growth, Wishpond is scrutinizing all discretionary expenditures across the organization, with the intent of optimizing operations, achieving cost-saving synergies and becoming cash flow positive in the second half of the year. Wishpond's acquisition strategy of acquiring cash flow generating companies is working to the Company's advantage in the current economic environment, as the Company has a clean balance sheet and is able to continue to fund the growth of its sales team and new product launches from cash flows from operations, and without having to raise any additional equity or debt capital.
Wishpond's goals for 2022 are to: (i) increase the Company's MRR through organic growth and opportunistic acquisitions; (ii) accelerate organic growth with investments in the Company's sales and marketing teams functions; (iii) achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the full year at levels exceeding 2021 results; (iv) pursue a disciplined acquisition and capital allocation plan; (v) invest in research and development to expand the Company's product offerings and intellectual property; and (vi) gain synergistic benefits from acquisitions through cross-selling the Company's products and services across the different parts of the growing organization.
David Pais, Wishpond's Chief Financial Officer commented, "This was a busy quarter as we closed the acquisition of Viral Loops on April 1, 2022, while we worked on the integration of the Winback acquisition. Wishpond is in a very strong financial position with cash on its balance sheet, improving cash flows and solid performance across its businesses. Based on current MRR trends, we are very optimistic about the outlook for 2022 and beyond."
As previously disclosed in the Company's press release dated May 17, 2022, the Company expects to hold a conference call to discuss its results for Q1-2022 today at 10:00 AM (PST) / 1:00 PM (EST). The conference call may be accessed using the following dial in details.

Cautionary Statements
Summary Information
Information presented in this press release may be only a summary of all available information and does not purport to be a full representation of all figures, notes and discussions provided for in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A. Readers are cautioned to read the entirety of the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, and to not rely only on the information presented in this press release. In the event of conflict between the information in this press release on the one hand, and the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A on the other hand, the information in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A shall govern.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Wishpond has used the following terms ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures") that are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Wishpond and its business: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), gross profit and gross margin. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Wishpond's performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods. See the disclosure under the heading "Additional GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures" in Wishpond's MD&A for a discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and certain reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. The intent of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are identified and defined as follows:
- Gross profit and Gross margin: The Company defines "gross profit" as revenue less cost of sales and "gross margin" as gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and gross margin should not be construed as an alternative for revenue or net loss determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that gross profit and gross margin are meaningful metrics in assessing the Company's financial performance and operational efficiency.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of Wishpond's performance. The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as Loss before income taxes less interest, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of contingent consideration liability, filing fees, credit facility setup fees, earn-out remuneration, foreign currency losses (gains), acquisition related expenses, net other expenditures (income), reverse takeover listing expense, and stock-based compensation. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.
- Annualized revenue run-rate: Annualized revenue run rate considers revenue over a number of specified recent months during the year and projects them over a 12-month period to estimate the annual revenues of the company based on recent performance.
- Monthly recurring revenue: Normalized measure of predictable monthly revenue.

The primary threat for Thursday’s storms will be damaging wind gusts.
With stronger storms, there will also be the risk for hail.
While conditions do not look favorable for a tornado outbreak, there is still a chance for rotation within stronger storms which could lead to an isolated spin-up tornado.
While flooding is not an element considered with severe storms, it will also be something to watch out for on Thursday. Thunderstorms will be capable of heavy rainfall, so especially if you’re in an area prone to flooding, now is the time to prepare.
With the threat for thunderstorms in the area through Friday night, it will be important to make sure that you have reliable source to get updates on changing weather. One way to do this is by downloading the free NBC4 weather app for your smart phone or other device. | https://www.nbc4i.com/weather/thunderstorms-bring-the-risk-for-severe-storms-ahead-of-the-holiday-weekend/ | 2022-05-26T12:14:44Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/weather/thunderstorms-bring-the-risk-for-severe-storms-ahead-of-the-holiday-weekend/ | false | null |

1 in 2 Indian citizens seeing ads based on private phone conversations
About 53 per cent of citizens said they have had one or more instances in the last 12 months where they saw advertisements on web or app based on their phone conversations, according to the survey by community social media platform LocalCircles...
If you have seen an ad in your email box or via SMS based on your smartphone conversation with your wife or a colleague, don't get shocked as a survey revealed on Wednesday that 1 in 2 citizens in India acknowledged seeing ads based on their private voice conversations.
About 53 per cent of citizens said they have had one or more instances in the last 12 months where they saw advertisements on web or app based on their phone conversations, according to the survey by community social media platform LocalCircles.
The results also indicated that the majority of Indians have given microphone access to their mobile phone for audio/video calls, social media, and audio recording third-party apps.
"A large number of people have been raising the issue of seeing contextual advertisements post their private phone conversations and this is very concerning," said Sachin Taparia, Founder of LocalCircles.
"Such practices must be investigated and any apps requiring microphone access must be required to give clear declarations of where a user's information will be used and seek explicit consent," he added.
The Indian government is yet to approve the Personal Data Protection Bill 2019, aimed to provide legislative and statutory protection to users' or citizens' personal information and recognises protecting the data of individuals as their rights.
"If this is not done at the earliest, such access could easily lead to financial frauds and people's personal information getting compromised with no accountability of how it happened," Taparia said.
Among those who had such an experience, 28 per cent said it happens all the time, 19 per cent said it has happened several times, and 6 per cent said it has happened a few times.
Only 24 per cent of citizens said that it has never happened while 23 per cent did not have an opinion.
About 84 per cent of smartphone users admitted to have given their contact list access to WhatsApp, 51 per cent had given the access to Facebook or Instagram or both, and 41 per cent had given access to caller information apps like Truecaller.
Over the past few years, the number of women at the junior level has grown. Still, women continue to be underrepresented at the leadership level. Bias impacts women’s day-to-day work experiences and ability to advance. We are discussing the challenges women are facing in the workplace.

Penguins Youth Movement Features Four Names to Watch
The Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup victories of the Sidney Crosby era have all coincided with youth movements by the organization. The initial group of Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and Marc-Andre Fleury first appeared back in the late 2000s. Then it was players like Bryan Rust, Jake Guentzel, and Connor Sheary in 2016.
The next wave of young talent probably won't reach the heights of the former two, but we've already seen glimpses of how they could help out this current iteration of the Penguins.
During his end of the year press conference, general manager Ron Hextall mentioned the importance of choosing the right moment to insert those players into the lineup.
"It's comforting to us that we have a few kids on the verge of coming up and being ready to play at this level, instead of forcing them into this level."
Hextall mentioned a few players by name, including Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Samuel Poulin, and hinted towards potentially seeing them very early on in 2022-23.
"We feel comfortable that a couple of the players out of that group could start the season in Pittsburgh."
Which prospects are leading the charge of this new generation of Wilkes-Barre call ups?
Pierre-Olivier Joseph (LD)
Joseph has been the most visible prospect that the Pittsburgh Penguins have had since he was traded to the organization back in 2019. Making his debut during the 2020-21 season, Joseph filled in on an injury-depleted blue line of the Penguins for 16 games before being sent back down to AHL Wilkes-Barre.
Joseph spent a majority of that time on the top defense pairing and showed off his puck-moving ability, setting up zone exits well and showing his poise on the back end at the highest level. Then just 21-years-old Joseph's biggest downfall was the play in front of his net. His relatively small frame made it difficult for him to keep opposing forwards away from the goalie crease.
Joseph spent last season, except for four games, in the minors sharpening the edges of his game and waiting for his opportunity at a full-time spot in the Penguins lineup. He scored 33 points in 61 games, showing his ability to create offense from the back end. The Penguins currently have three left-side defensemen making over $4 million, so a move may have to happen to make space for Joseph's next call-up.
Kasper Bjorkqvist (RW)
Out of this group, Bjorkqvist spent the most time with the Penguins during the 2021-22 season. In six games with the NHL squad, Bjorkqvist scored one goal and averaged 8:22 of ice time. On January 2nd, he joined Mario Lemieux and Jake Guentzel on the list of Penguins to score in their NHL debut. While nobody will be mistaking him for that caliber of prospect, Bjorkqvist could instill more youth and fire to the Penguins bottom six.
Bjorkqvist was drafted by the Penguins in the second round of the 2016 draft and has faced numerous injury setbacks that delayed his progression throughout the minor league system. He hasn't shown the scoring consistency to be a top-six NHLer, but his defensive instincts are impressive. He could become another option for the Penguins penalty kill unit next season.
Valtteri Puustinen (RW)
Puustinen just finished up his first season in North America after playing the bulk of his career in his native country of Finland. While the adjustment to North American ice can take time for some young prospects, Puustinen showed no such signs. He led Wilkes-Barre in goals (20) and points (42) while adding three assists in the Penguins first Calder Cup Playoff run since 2017-18.
A bit undersized at 5'9", Puustinen fits the mold of previous Penguins prospects such as Guentzel and Sheary. His ability to find the soft spots in the zone, similar to Guentzel, was evident in his lone game at the NHL level last season. Puustinen finished his NHL debut with an assist while accounting for 71 percent of the expected goals share while he was on the ice.
Puustinen's scoring touch alone could make him a valuable third-line option for the Penguins. Pair that with his speed and apparent hockey IQ, and he could land an opening night role in the Penguins middle six.
Samuel Poulin (LW)
The spotlight shines a little brighter on first-round picks, and with Poulin being the only one in the Penguins system, it shines much more. Poulin was selected 21st overall by the Penguins in 2019 and just finished his first season of professional hockey. After three straight seasons of playing over a point per game in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Poulin struggled out of the gates when he arrived in Wilkes-Barre.
After struggling to find his footing, Wilkes-Barre head coach JD Forrest decided to healthy scratch Poulin to send a message. From that point on Poulin picked his game up, finishing the season with 16 goals and 37 points. Poulin's biggest question has always been about his foot speed and whether or not it will cost him opportunities at the NHL level. However, the rest of his game promotes the massive potential for offensive success.
The 6'2" 214 lbs. Poulin is a power forward with innate offensive instincts that could translate to an NHL top-six role in the future. His ability to protect the puck along the boards will surely ingratiate him to Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan. The 21-year-old has been invited to Penguins training camp for three straight years and will likely be invited for a fourth this August. The only question now is how long before he, and these other prospects, break into the NHL.

Shoppers watched in amazement as they spotted the lost mother duck and her tiny babies wandering around Horsham’s Carfax – perilously close to moving traffic.
Worried staff at Vacalola children’s shoe shop jumped into action when they realised the birds’ plight and began herding them towards Horsham Park.
Bianca Brace – who had just arrived in the town centre to meet her mother – hurried to help. “The duck and her 12 ducklings were right in the middle of the Carfax with the cars going round,” she said.
She joined the shop staff “and six or seven other people. We guided them up towards the subway and into the park, being careful that they didn’t go under a lorry near The Rec.”
The birds were herded across the grass towards the park pond – where they jumped into the water and swam happily away, much to the relief of their ‘herders.’
"It was just an amazing feelgood start to the day,” said Bianca, who filmed the birds’ journey through the town, along the subway and into the park.
It is not known how old the ducklings are, but ducklings younger than 10 days tend to swim and walk as a group, always close to their mother, to avoid being attacked by predators.
A duck's feathers are so waterproof that even when a duck dives underwater, the downy underlayer of feathers right next to its skin stays dry. | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/people/lost-duck-and-her-12-ducklings-guided-to-safety-in-horsham-3710058 | 2022-05-26T12:29:47Z | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/people/lost-duck-and-her-12-ducklings-guided-to-safety-in-horsham-3710058 | true | 1 |
Europe silent on plight of refugees in Libya, says IOM mission chief
Europe has been accused by a senior international official of acquiescence in the plight of thousands of migrants in Libya held in arbitrary detention in “deplorable conditions”.
Federico Soda, chief of mission at the International Organisation for Migration’s mission in Libya, said not enough was being done by outside actors to try to change the war-torn country’s “environment of arbitrary detention and deplorable conditions” for migrants.
International observers have reported that migrants seeking to get to Europe, who are returned to Libya, have been killed, tortured, raped and trafficked in “hellscape” state-run detention centres. A report for the UN Human Rights Council concluded last year that conditions in Libya’s migrant detention centres were a possible crime against humanity.
“Most member states are silent on these issues in Libya,” Soda told reporters in Brussels. “On a number of issues in the country we [the IOM] are the only voice. That is problematic. What concerns me is kind of the acquiescence,” he said, characterising the attitude as: “‘It’s not a problem on our shore, so let’s just keep it there’.”
The IOM mission chief said there needed to be “more condemnation” and “more calls for law and order for investigations”.
He was speaking after a recent IOM report showed a record 32,425 people attempting to travel to Europe were returned to Libya in 2021, after being intercepted or rescued in the Mediterranean sea.
The EU funds Libya’s coastguard to carry out search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. But migrants and refugees who have been intercepted in their attempts to reach Europe have told Amnesty International the Libyan coastguard is negligent, reckless and deliberately damages boats, causing them to capsize.
In a harrowing report last year, the NGO said that migrants returned to Libya were transferred to “hellscape” government-run detention centres, where they are subject to torture, sexual violence and beatings. Some were killed in detention centres run by Libya’s Directorate for Combatting Illegal Migration. Others held in DCIM centres paid ransoms to escape or were made to become forced labourers, the NGO said.
According to Amnesty International, 6,100 people were in DCIM detention centres in June 2021. Many more people disembarked to Libya are unaccounted for, believed by the NGO to be locked up in informal detention centres controlled by militia groups.
A report commissioned by the UN’s human rights council last October concluded there were “reasonable grounds” to believe that the murder, enslavement, torture and persecution of migrants was part of a systematic state-led attack against this group of people that “may amount to crimes against humanity”.
The IOM chief of mission declined to name EU political leaders or authorities, saying it was a society-wide responsibility. “It’s not about elected people; I think the whole of the community has a responsibility here, because when societies becomes as polarised as we have been on migration issues I think we all have to look in the mirror and maybe put ourselves in the shoes and the conditions of where these people are coming from.”
The IOM – a United Nations agency headquartered in Geneva – argues there should be more legal routes for migrants to come to Europe, but Soda said he had seen “virtually no openness on this side of the Mediterranean on legal channels”. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/europe-silent-plight-refugees-libya-121706238.html?src=rss | 2022-05-26T12:31:37Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/europe-silent-plight-refugees-libya-121706238.html?src=rss | false | 3 |
The era of segregation in America came to a point where a practice known as “separate but equal” brought forth water fountains and even whole restaurants that were labeled as either “whites only” or “Blacks/coloreds only.”
A few students at Colerain High School in Cincinnati thought it would be funny to make a joke at the expense of our nation’s historic issue with prejudice by taping signs over the school’s water fountains that read “Whites only” and “Blacks only.”

Daily Mail was able to obtain a photo of the handwritten signs (seen above), with both including what appears to be a frowning face drawing with x’s over the eyes. The image was uploaded to Snapchat on May 5, and school principal Erin Davis confirmed that two students were later identified as the ones who created it. “As a school community it is our responsibility to make sure that our CHS family uphold and live out these values,” Davis wrote in a letter addressing the incident, also adding, “We will not stand for intolerance of any kind and will discipline any student who participates in displaying intolerant behavior.”
Here’s some more info on how the situation was handled by Colerain High School, via Daily Mail:
“In a separate statement, a Northwest Local School district spokesperson said that the culprits have been ‘issued significant disciplinary actions.’
The spokesperson said that the signs were only up for around 30 seconds while the students took pictures of them. The same students that put the signs up also removed them.
The signs were not seen by members of staff or other students until the photos surfaced online.”

It’s worth noting that Colerain has a student population of 1,730, with 30% being Black and 50% identifying as white according to the U.S. News and World Report. Add to the fact that “race wars” like this one are allegedly common at the school, and we might just have yet another example of why we need to find a common ground when it comes to Critical Race Theory.

Carriers report challenges with pace of change and innovation needed to remain competitive
AVON, Conn., May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The need to continually adapt and innovate to compete in the critical illness insurance market is both a trend and a challenge for voluntary carriers, according to Eastbridge's new Voluntary Critical Illness Products Spotlight™ Report.
"The demand for critical illness coverage was already increasing before the emergence of COVID-19, but its value has been magnified in light of the pandemic," said Nick Rockwell, Eastbridge president. "Keeping up with the growing demand to add new covered conditions with higher benefit amounts while still keeping pricing low and offering guaranteed issue underwriting creates a complex and fast-changing market for carriers to navigate."
Carriers are making regular revisions to existing critical illness products and several are introducing new products this year to keep up with increased competition and demand, the report shows. About half of participating carriers have been in the critical illness market for less than 10 years, and half of the products profiled have been changed in the last two years, including additional benefits or riders, increased benefit maximums, underwriting changes and pricing adjustments.
The Voluntary Critical Illness Products report includes data from 31 carriers representing 36 voluntary critical illness products. The report reviews the current and future state of the critical illness marketplace and existing products so carriers can better understand the market opportunities and how their products compare to the competition. Key topics covered include product structure, benefits, underwriting and eligibility guidelines, differentiators and trends.
Other key findings in the report include:
- Most carriers offer guaranteed issue underwriting for their critical illness plans.
- Few carriers offer a one-size-fits-all type of product, instead customizing benefits and offering variations by group size, industry and other case specifics.
- Most carriers anticipate underwriting guidelines will continue to liberalize with lower participation requirements, regular waiver of pre-existing and waiting periods, and higher GI benefit maximums.
Information about obtaining the Voluntary Critical Illness Products report is available on Eastbridge's website here. For more information, email info@eastbridge.com or call (860) 676-9633.

Work-life balance has become something of a hot topic in the last few years, especially since the increase in remote work, caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic. It refers to the ability to successfully do your job while still leaving plenty of time for your family, friends, hobbies and other activities like travelling.
Having a healthy work-life balance is crucial for everything from achieving our goals to avoiding burnout and stress, yet despite this too few of us are achieving it. If this is an issue you’re trying to improve, here are some top tips to help you out.
Improve Your Productivity
As the saying goes, work smarter not longer. By upping your productivity you can decrease the amount of time you spend on certain types of work tasks without a drop in output. This in turn leaves you with more hours to spend on activities you love and with people you care about. Depending on the nature of your work, you could try setting time limits for specific tasks, aiming for daily goals, or avoiding scheduling too many meetings that last for ages but result in little actual progress.
Find A More Flexible Job
In some cases where you don’t have control over how much time you spend at work, you could instead think about switching to a more flexible role. For instance, by working as a locum pharmacist rather than one in a traditional 9-5 role, you can choose the exact shifts you want to work in terms of location and hours. This enables you to craft your own work schedule to suit your needs and priorities.
Set Clear Boundaries Between Work And Home
No matter where you work or what hours you do, setting a clear boundary between your work life and home life is key. That means not checking work emails after the end of the working day or on your days off, and avoiding working overtime hours as much as possible. If you find it hard to switch off when working from home, try changing your clothes to mark the end of the workday. It’s also important to take frequent shorts breaks – where possible, try to get out of the office.
Practise Self-care
Taking some time to look after yourself is key for dealing with stress and avoiding burnout. Different techniques work for different people, but you could try some of the following ideas for self-care:
- A long hot bath
- A walk in nature
- Meditation
- Meeting up with friends
- Creative hobbies such as music, art or crafts
- Adult colouring books
- Journaling
- Day trips to new places
- Spa day
- Curling up with a good book or film
Learn How To Say No
We often feel under pressure to say yes to every opportunity or task that comes our way, however you don’t have to do so. Before accepting new work without thinking, consider your existing workload and priorities carefully. If you don’t have the bandwidth for another project, it’s ok to say no sometimes. Your manager or employer should understand if you explain your reasoning, and it’s important they know if the pressure is getting too much so that they can address the problem. | https://mediadrumworld.com/2022/05/25/achieve-better-work-life-balance/ | 2022-05-26T12:37:21Z | https://mediadrumworld.com/2022/05/25/achieve-better-work-life-balance/ | false | 1 |

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthos Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, today announced the appointment of Drew Young as Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Patient Experience. Mr. Young is joining Anthos at a very exciting time in the company's young history, bringing over 25 years of commercial and general management leadership experience gained in multiple therapeutic areas to an already highly accomplished management team.
"I am very pleased to welcome Drew to the executive team at Anthos Therapeutics," said John Glasspool, Anthos Therapeutics' Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors. "With two pivotal Phase 3 trials in Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT), and a large Phase 2b study in Atrial Fibrillation (AF), all now at various stages of enrollment, now is the right time to begin building our go-to-market plan while further strengthening our patient-focused mission. Drew has extensive experience across numerous specialty therapeutic areas and a long history of launching products in numerous countries, including those for cardiovascular metabolic diseases, which will be very valuable as Anthos enters its next phase of growth."
Mr. Young shared "With the abelacimab Phase 3 clinical trial program already enrolling patients, Anthos Therapeutics is quickly becoming a leading company in the anticoagulation space. Although important advancements have been made in anticoagulation therapy over the years, a significant unmet need remains due to the risk and fear of bleeding. Once further validated, abelacimab may offer the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in treatment by inhibiting thrombosis without impairing hemostasis. I look forward to lending my experience to the exceptional team at Anthos who are working hard to make this potential new scientific advance a reality for patients in need."
Mr. Young has spent the last two-plus decades in roles of increasing responsibility in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, primarily in senior roles at Bristol-Myers Squibb and EMD Serono / Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. Mr. Young graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada with a degree in Economics, where he was also a recipient of the Scarlet Key Award for outstanding student leadership.

About Abelacimab
Abelacimab is a novel, highly selective, fully human monoclonal antibody designed to induce effective hemostasis-sparing anticoagulation through Factor XI inhibition. Abelacimab targets the active domain of Factor XI, demonstrating dual inhibitory activity against both Factor XI and its activated form, Factor XIa. Abelacimab can be administered intravenously (IV) to achieve rapid inhibition of Factor XI activity and then used subcutaneously (SC) monthly to maintain nearly complete inhibition in a chronic setting. In a PK/PD study, abelacimab administered IV provided profound suppression of Factor XI within one hour after the start of therapy and maintained near maximal inhibition for up to 30 days. 1,2 In a Phase 2 study whose results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2021, a single intravenous dose of abelacimab after knee surgery reduced the rate of venous thromboembolism by 80%, measured 10 days after surgery, compared to enoxaparin.1 Factor XI inhibition offers the promise of hemostasis-sparing anticoagulation for the prevention and treatment of arterial and venous thromboembolic events.3 Abelacimab is an investigational agent and has not been approved for any indication.

Championship News
Football finance expert offers Derby County message ahead of potential takeover
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has offered a message of hope for Derby County fans.
While an immediate return to the Championship may not quite be a realistic target, Maguire believes there will be a brighter future ahead for the Rams.
The club is set to be taken over by Chris Kirchner, but the deal has yet to be finalised.
That will be the dawn of a new era for the club, having gone into administration in September.
Wayne Rooney’s side were relegated from the Championship as a result of a 21-point deduction penalty from going into administration.
That means the club is now preparing for life in League One, but Maguire believes that Wigan Athletic offers the template for future success at Pride Park.
“I think if Derby fans, chastened by the experience of this is what happens when you fly too close to the sun, might temper their expectations,” said Maguire, via Derbyshire Live.
“They might say instead of trying to take a shortcut to promotion to the Premier League, we want to grow organically.
“We’ve still got a good academy set-up, and we’re prepared to wait. Get a few kids coming through, a couple of decent signings on Bosmans and use the loan market as well.
“The big positive you can take from this is that look at Wigan Athletic.
“They went into administration and they’ve just come out as champions. I saw one of their directors on Monday, I was chatting away with him, and they seem very, very happy with what’s happened there.
“While Chris Kirchner has got to build up the asset base in terms of the playing squad, he doesn’t have to worry about the creditors.
“They won’t have the same level of bills that need paying in the short term, especially assuming that he’s taking the three-year 35 per cent option in terms of coming out of administration.”
Quiz: The big Derby County striker quiz – Score over 80% and you can call yourself a true Rams fan
The American businessman has been the front runner to take over at Derby for some time now, but there are still a few details holding back his purchase of the club.
Most notably, the ownership of Pride Park has been a big issue throughout this process.
But once the deal can be confirmed, Derby can begin their preparations for turning the club around.
The Verdict
The takeover will need to happen soon so that the Rams can start to improve their squad and help Rooney settle a team.
Derby may need to recognise that promotion this season will be a difficult task in such a competitive league.
The long-term sustainability of the club should be seen as far more important than chasing a place back in the second division.
Rooney has shown he is capable hands for the team to be managed by and he should be trusted to maintain the good work he has done in his time in charge. | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/football-finance-expert-offers-derby-county-message-ahead-of-potential-takeover/ | 2022-05-26T12:44:52Z | https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/football-finance-expert-offers-derby-county-message-ahead-of-potential-takeover/ | true | 1 |

NEW YORK, May 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLS) (“SELLAS” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, today announced top-line clinical data from its Phase 1/2 trial of galinpepimut-S (GPS), the Company’s Wilms Tumor-1 (WT1)-targeting peptide immunotherapeutic, in combination with Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), in patients diagnosed with WT1(+) relapsed or refractory platinum resistant advanced metastatic ovarian cancer.
Data from 15 patients enrolled in the study, conducted under a Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada), has been preliminarily analyzed with final data for all 17 patients enrolled in the clinical trial expected by the end of 2022. All enrolled patients were resistant to standard of care platinum-based therapy and 78.5 percent of evaluable patients were refractory to or had failed their first- or second-line therapies with 21.5 percent having failed three or more lines of therapy, including one patient who failed five previous lines of therapy. Of the 15 patients, 13 received at least three doses of GPS, the last of which was in combination with pembrolizumab, and were evaluable for response outcomes.
Summary of Top-Line Clinical Data
- The overall response rate (ORR) of the trial is (7.7 percent), similar to the response to checkpoint inhibitors.
- An ad hoc analysis of clinical outcomes in this cohort shows a disease control rate (DCR), the sum of overall response rate and rate of stable disease, of 53.9 percent at a median follow-up of 43.1 weeks. In a checkpoint inhibitor single agent study in a similar platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patient population treated with a checkpoint inhibitor alone, the observed DCR was 37.2 percent, consistent with a DCR rate increase of 45 percent in the GPS combination with pembrolizumab over that seen for checkpoint inhibitors alone.
- Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12 weeks compared to 8.4 weeks for checkpoint inhibitors alone seen in studies with similar patient populations, a 43 percent increase in the GPS combination with pembrolizumab. Patients with fewer previous lines of chemotherapy experienced a more favorable median PFS than those with more than two previous lines: for patients with two or fewer previous lines of therapy treated with GPS in combination with pembrolizumab, median PFS was 24 weeks.
- With 43.1 weeks of follow-up the median overall survival has not been reached.
- The safety profile of GPS in combination with pembrolizumab was similar to pembrolizumab alone, with the only addition of low-grade rapidly resolving local reactions at the GPS injection site, consistent with observations from other GPS clinical studies.
“These early data are an example of a new direction in development of immunotherapy for platinum-refractory ovarian cancer,” commented Jeffrey S. Weber, M.D., Ph.D.; Deputy Director of the Perlmutter Cancer Center at New York University (NYU)-Langone Health; Co-Director of its Melanoma Research Program Center; and Chair of SELLAS’ Scientific Advisory Board. “In patients who failed as many as five lines of previous therapy, with small numbers of patients, the disease control rate and progression free survival that were observed merit further study. The GPS combination with checkpoint blockade, such as pembrolizumab, should be further explored, both in active disease as well as potentially in the setting of maintenance therapy after patients reach minimal residual disease post salvage therapies,” added Dr. Weber.
“GPS has been primarily designed as maintenance therapy in order to provide an overall survival benefit after patients reach the minimal residual disease state or complete remission. However, in this very difficult to treat patient population with active disease, who underwent intensive chemotherapies with no apparent clinical benefit and a severe toxicity toll, the combination of GPS and pembrolizumab seems to be effective in the active disease state by halting or slowing down progression without significant further side effects,” said Angelos Stergiou, M.D., Sc.D. h.c., President and CEO, SELLAS.
“As we continue to do further analyses, including immune response and correlative analyses, which will be presented at an upcoming medical conference, we are also considering how to best pursue development of GPS in combination with PD1 inhibitors in this patient population and we are excited about the path ahead. I would like to wholeheartedly thank all patients for participating in the study as well as their physicians, nurses and study teams as well as collectively our teams at SELLAS and Merck,” concluded Dr. Stergiou.
About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies and the fifth most frequent cause of cancer death in women in the United States. Over 22,000 cases are diagnosed annually, and there are an estimated 15,500 deaths per year. The majority of patients have widespread disease at presentation. The 5-year survival for advanced-stage disease remains less than 30 percent. Combining GPS with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab, which beneficially and profoundly alters the tumor microenvironment (TME) is hypothesized to increase the proportion of patients who develop an immune response against their cancer and potentially improve their clinical outcome over checkpoint inhibitors monotherapy, without the burden of additional toxicities in macroscopically measurable malignancies.

Ruble Slides From 4-Year-High On Russian Rate-Cut
May 26, 2022 | Tags: ZEROHEDGE
Ruble Slides From 4-Year-High On Russian Rate-CutHaving soared to multi-year highs against the dollar and euro in the last month, the Ruble is sliding overnight following a larger-than-expected 300bps rate-cut by The Bank of Russia (CBR).
Economists were expecting a 200bps cut and so the bigger than expected cut has sparked a 12% decline in the Ruble against the dollar for now...
The Ruble had more than doubled its buying power relative to other fiat currencies since early March as CBR's Elvira Nabiullina masterfully stalled the freefall and engineered its recovery with capital controls and forced dollar sales, helped further by Putin's Rubles-for-Gas scheme.
After 900bps of easing since April, Nabiullina said she still sees room for further rate cuts at meetings ahead.
“The coming quarters won’t be easy,” Nabiullina said at a banking industry conference, according to Tass.
“While the economy is adapting it will be hard for companies and citizens.”
The quicker-than-expected ebbing of Russia's inflation rate provided some added confidence in CBR's decision, and as the chart above shows, with the latest rate cut, it’s now reversed almost all the emergency monetary tightening after the invasion of Ukraine three months ago.
However, as Bloomberg reports, investors were skeptical about how much policy makers can do to keep the gains from resuming because the ruble’s exchange rate is now almost entirely determined by the trade balance.
“I do not think that the decision of the central bank will help to weaken the ruble in the absence of a carry trade,” said Dmitry Kosmodemiyanskiy, an asset manager at Otkritie.
“Everyone sees the trade balance and only a madman would play against it.”
Following President Biden's dismissal of the currency as "Rubble", President Putin has touted the ruble’s strength as a sign that the country has survived the unprecedented sanctions imposed by the US and its allies to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. | https://freedombunker.com/2022/05/26/ruble-slides-from-4-year-high-on-russian-rate-cut/ | 2022-05-26T12:56:54Z | https://freedombunker.com/2022/05/26/ruble-slides-from-4-year-high-on-russian-rate-cut/ | true | 2 |

Remolino on SEA Games silver: ‘It’s very special’
CEBU CITY, Philippines—For Cebuano triathlete Andrew Kim Remolino of the Talisay Luigi Triathlon Group (TLTG)- Go For Gold, his silver medal finish in the 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in Hanoi, Vietnam is ‘very special.’
The 22-year-old triathlete from Talisay City Cebu, duplicated his 2019 SEA Games debut in Manila with another silver medal by finishing second in men’s triathlon with a time of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 16 seconds.
Teammate Fernando Casares bagged the gold medal.
The SEA Games triathlon event featured a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40km bike, and 10km run.
So why does Remolino cherish his silver finish?
“It’s very special I guess because this only shows that even with all these challenges, we were still able to produce a very satisfying achievement,” said Remolino, who also placed second to Pinoy bet Nikko Huelgas in 2019.
“It was pretty overwhelming because even though I got the same medal the way that I got it the first time in 2019, it was really a different experience. It’s like a new experience and a very satisfying one for me,” he added.
Remolino was the only one from the 2019 batch who competed this year.
His father, Roland Remolino, in an earlier interview with CDN Digital, recounts the challenges and ordeals they hurdled leading into SEA Games.
The older Remolino said that the Covid-19 pandemic, Typhoon Odette, and the postponement of the SEA Games affected their preparation.
Before the SEA Games, Remolino and his triathletes had to be resourceful in formulating training programs to adjust with the health and safety protocols brought by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Then the SEA Games was postponed from December 2021 to May this year, which also affected their training.
Things became more difficult for Remolino and his triathletes when Typhoon Odette ravaged the Visayas and Mindanao regions before the year ended.
“It was really fun and hard because there were a lot of unexpected happenings and unexpectedly strong athletes, especially the one from Vietnam who was a really strong swimmer where he left us during the swim. He was two minutes ahead of us, but luckily me and Fer (Casares) were able to help each other and caught up with him,” Kim said.
With regards to his performance, Remolino stated that he needs to conserve energy and he is planning to do more race simulation to further improve his time in his future races.
Remolino added that he was supposed to start training right for the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, after the SEA Games but the former was postponed due to the Covid-19 surge there.
He revealed that despite the Asian Games’ postponement, he will join other local and international races in the coming months.

British holidaymakers hoping to travel to Portugal this summer will have to be aware of an important passport update announced by the country. Travellers from the UK arriving at airports including Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal, were told earlier this month that they will be fast-tracked through check-ins, similar to EU citizens.
The move allowed fortunate Brits to use eGates to avoid passport control queues where visitors from many other non-EU countries have to wait in line to have their passports manually checked and stamped. Given that the country is one of the top getaway destinations for UK residents, the move has been widely welcomed.
However, the UK government website has now updated its travel advice to warn UK residents of an entry requirement clarification from Portugese border control.

The update relates to passport stamping and will clear up confusion among some British holidaymakers over how to use the eGates fast-track system. The latest guidance makes clear that the eGates for UK passport holders are "separate to the e-gates for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens".
It states: "On arrival or departure, check you are eligible to use the e-gates and that you are in the right queue. When using an e-gate, your entry/exit is recorded on the computer system.
"A border officer may also stamp your passport after you have passed through the e-gate, this is for airport operational reasons." The government is asking Brits to make sure that their passports are stamped by border officers - even if they use the eGate system.
"If you use a manned booth, check that your passport is stamped by the border officer when you enter or exit as a visitor," says the guidance. "Check your passport is stamped by the border officer when you enter and exit Portugal as a visitor.
"You can use the manned staffed immigration booths or, if you are aged 18 and over, the e-gates designated for UK and some other non-EU nationals. Hand your passport for stamping to the border officer after you have passed through the e-gate."
The travel update has been issued so that UK holiday makers understand the important role passport stamps and eGate records play in policing and enforcing its 90-day visa-free limit for short stays. The guidance states: "Border guards use passport stamps and e-gate records to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area."
The Schengen Area, separate to the EU, is a group of 26 European countries, including Portugal, that agreed to abolish their internal borders to help with the free and unrestricted movement of people. The updated UK travel advice adds: "If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport or visible to a border officer on the computer system, a border officer will may presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit."
UK travellers are also being advised to keep their travel documents handy when visiting Portugal. The update continues: "If you are missing entry/exit stamps, you can show evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area and ask the border officer to add this date and location in your passport."
Examples of acceptable evidence include boarding passes and flight tickets, which officials may require you to show to prove you are in the country legally. Tourists are being advised to make sure their passports are stamped to avoid any confusion and inconvenience during their holiday.
Portugal recently announced that it British tourists would no longer have to fill out a passenger locator when entering the country. This entry requirement, however, is still in place for you're heading to Madeira or Porto Santo.
Other entry rules relating to Covid-19 remain in place for tourists travelling to Portugal. Brits who are fully vaccinated Brits can enter without having to take a Covid test.
Those who are either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, however, will need to provide proof of a negative Covid test. This can be either a PCR test taken within 72 hours before travel, or a lateral flow test taken within 24 hours of your journey. | https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/brits-warned-over-holidays-portugal-7129709 | 2022-05-26T13:08:16Z | https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/brits-warned-over-holidays-portugal-7129709 | true | 2 |
VTB says Russian banks could get $52 bln boost if country ditches Basel rules
May 26 (Reuters) - Russia's banks could get a 3.3 trillion rouble ($52 billion)capital boost if the central bank ditches Basel capital requirements, the head of VTB Bank Andrey Kostin said on Thursday.
Russia has relaxed some capital requirements for banks in response to sweeping Western sanctions levied against the Russian financial sector following Moscow's move to send thousands of troops into Ukraine.
Central Bank governor Elvira Nabiullina dismissed on Thursday the idea of ditching the Basel requirements - international standards that dictate the levels and kinds of assets lenders must keep on their balance sheets - and instead called for a readjustment in how they are applied in Russia.
Nabiullina told a forum that the central bank was considering extending a number of the support measures until the end of the year but acknowledged that some banks may require a capital injection. She did not provide details.
"It seems that sanctions-hit banks will have to focus on domestic rouble operations, primarily on lending to the state sector, sanctioned companies... Keeping in mind a risk of secondary sanctions, this is important to avoid splitting the banking system into two isolated parts," she said.
Kostin told the same forum that by his estimates, the entire sector could get a capital boost of 3.3 trillion roubles if Basel rules are abandoned, of which VTB alone would gain 550 billion roubles.
Nabiullina also said the central bank is considering allowing banks to group together and form banking associations, without buying out each others' shares, in order for smaller banks to team up with bigger lenders and benefit from their support.
