Edinson Cavani will leave Manchester United this summer after a difficult campaign, scoring just two Premier League goals.
The Uruguayan's exit is proving to be messy - swearing at a supporter after United's defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday - yet new boss Erik ten Hag can't worry about that. He's aiming to build a new squad and it appears he's listening to his predecessor Ralf Rangnick.
The Dutchman is expected to act on Rangnick's player recommendation and another star could also be on his way to Manchester after Frenkie de Jong was handed a transfer ultimatum... and the news doesn't stop there. Here are the biggest Man Utd headlines.
Inside Cavani's exit
Cavani's fall from grace is difficult to process, as he is set to leave United as a free agent shortly. His contract extension last summer was considered one of the best moves of the window after he scored 10 goals in his last 11 games of the 2020-21 term.
The striker showed no signs of slowing down - despite being in his mid-thirties - as he helped United secured second spot in the Premier League. He was primed to have another big season, yet things haven't gone to plan for a variety of reasons.

Ten Hag's Rangnick recommendation
Will Erik ten Hag be a success at Manchester United? Let us know in the comments below!
Ten Hag is making efforts to secure his first signing as United boss with a renewed move for RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku.
The Red Devils have been interested in the Frenchman for some time and Rangnick is thought to be a big fan of he forward. It's believed he wanted United to move for Nkunku in the January - only to be told the club had not conducted an in-depth analysis.
Reports suggest United have engaged in discussions with the player's representatives regarding a switch and it is even claimed an offer could potentially be lodged with RB Leipzig within the next week - although there's every chance the German side will reject it.

De Jong's ultimatum
United are seeking De Jong's final answer about whether he wants to join the club from Barcelona this summer.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester since Ten Hag was announced as United's new manager in April. The pair worked together at Ajax and helped the club reach the Champions League semi-finals during the 2018-19 season.
It's believed De Jong, who joined Barcelona in the summer of 2019, prefer to stay and fight for his place in Spain - but the Catalan giants are still in serious financial danger and could be forced to sell some of their best players this summer.
Barcelona must offload players before they can buy anyone due to their restraints - and with Pedri, Gavi and Sergio Busquests all impressing in Barca's midfield last term, De Jong may be the one to make way.

Festivals are exceptionally fun, but prepping for them can be a hard task. Tickets already don’t come cheap, but we’ll happily cough up the dough to watch our favourite artists take to the stage. However, the great British weather can make or break your day if you let it.
That’s why we recommend stocking up on your essentials for a magical time, come rain or shine. And while that does mean some extra spending, worry not, as Amazon is about to hit us with some serious discounts.
Yep, Prime Day is fast approaching, and we all know that the retailer sells, well, everything – and all in one place. From guides to home appliances and tech to fitness equipment and alcohol, we at IndyBest are here to make your life easier and help navigate this huge sales event.
Amazon is yet to announce its specific deals, but looking back on previous years, we’d say we can have a decent guess on what’s to be included. We’ve laid out all the rules and regs you need to know – including how to get a 30-day free trial – ahead of the sales events in our main guide.
From glitter and sunscreen to raincoats and wellies, there are some things we simply can’t do without when we venture out to the festival grounds. And, unsurprisingly, Amazon has it all. To make sure nothing can rain on your parade, keep reading to find out what festival must-haves we’ll be shopping this Amazon Prime Day.

If you’ve opted for a multi-day ticket, you’ll want to pack light but still make sure you have all your essentials on hand. We remember our first introduction to camping as a rookie (non-festival related) where we ended up dragging our heavily overpacked suitcase through a muddy field after a downpour during the last night – an experience we wouldn’t recommend to anyone. So we learned the hard way; it’s better to opt for a duffle bag instead.
This one from beloved Scandi brand Fjallraven is both well-designed and super stylish, and it just so happens our reviewer named it “best duffle bag” in our weekend bag round-up. They thought it could withstand a bit of rain, thanks to its durable material, and appreciated that it comes with handles on top, as well as a longer strap for easy carrying.
The brand saw great price reductions in last year’s Prime Day event, with its unisex backpack (from £56.25, Amazon.co.uk) being reduced to £49.81. So we think there’s a good chance we’ll see more of its products on offer in July.
You might be in denial, but deep down we all know the British summer is unpredictable and the weather might go either way. If you’re prepared, a proper downpour doesn’t have to ruin your day (or weekend). So gear up and stomp to the front stage with a pair of weather-proof wellies.
This classic boot is available in a range of colours and will keep your feet dry and comfy. It even featured in our round-up of the best women’s wellies, where our reviewer said the adjustable strap was “handy to avoid the classic wellie slap at the back of the calves and ensure a perfect fit every time”.

La Roche-Posay anthelios UVMUNE 400 invisible fluid SPF50: £17.32, Amazon.co.uk
As we said, the weather can go either way in the UK, so better safe than sorry, and if you went for a safer bet and booked a festival abroad, you’ll definitely need sun protection on your packing list. We always opt for an SPF50 formula, mainly because we’ve had our fair share of strange-looking sunburns and can safely testify no one wants a butterfly crop top or ripped jeans pattern imprinted on them for the rest of the summer.
Our face needs continuous attention during the day as our cheeks, nose and forehead tend to get very rosy very quickly. This formula from La Roche-Posay is perfect for using on your face and neck and came out on top in our best face sunscreens round-up. At 100ml, this is a great little bottle to keep on hand, and if you really need an emergency touch up, we’re sure it will do the trick for other body parts too – although you might want to use a cheaper option for that.
In last years Prime event, we saw great discounts on L’Oreal beauty products, from hair straighteners to foundations and day creams, so we don’t think it’s too farfetched for this L’Oreal-owned brand to be let in on the fun too.

Hemway eco-friendly bio-degradable glitter: £12.95, Amazon.co.uk
Is it even a party if there’s no glitter? Stick-on sparkles are one of our favourite ways to bring our festival look to the next level. But at the end of the day, we usually find said glitter everywhere except where we put it, so we can only imagine how much of it ends up in the fields after thousands of revellers make their way home at the end of a weekender.
This is why we’re very excited to see there’s now plenty of biodegradable glitter options on offer. This Hemway one comes in a range of colours – from gold and silver to lavender and turquoise – so you can match it with any outfit.
While many opt for the cheapest, two-person pop-up tents available, there’s something to be said for investing in a proper tent for you and your friend to stay in. The overall festival experience definitely improves for us if we have the space to be a bit more organised, plus, when you purchase a quality tent it’ll last you for years to come and you can take plenty of camping trips with it too.
Our reviewer found this tent to be durable and weatherproof, making it perfect for any festival on the home ground. It also comes with spacious storage and zipped window shades, which will be much appreciated on the morning after when the sunrays try to wake you but you need to recharge a little longer.
The price of this tent might seem a bit intimidating now, especially if you’re looking to use it exclusively for festivals, but last Prime Day a range of offers on Coleman tents were included. The price of the instant tourer 4 tent (£229, Amazon.co.uk), for example, was slashed to a whopping third of its original. So we’re hoping to see a good deal for this design too.
Sunscreen goes a long way, but if you’re out in the sun all day you might want something extra to stop you from squinting your eyes and prevent a pending headache (unless you’re on the booze, in which case the headache might not be weather-related). You can never go wrong with a classic, and this baseball cap from Ralph Lauren checks all our boxes.
While it’s not the cheapest option, we think it’ll get plenty of wear – it’s cool, practical and, as our reviewer pointed out, adjustable to fit practically any head. For some, a bucket hat might be more on brand, in which case we recommend this utility design from Accessorize (£10, Accessorize.com) as featured in our best summer hats round-up.
To some, a mini fan might seem like a luxury rather than an essential, but you can thank us later. Festivals can be very crowdy – especially at front stage – and if the sun does come out, it will become rather sticky. This fan is about 7cm x 12cm, so dinky enough to fit in most purses and pockets – perfect for keeping on you when out in the various crowds. It also stands upright to make things a little less clammy in your tent and aid a good night’s kip.
If you’re after something even smaller for your festival bumbag, this compact model from FanU (£14.99, Stressnomore.co.uk) might suit you better. Our reviewer named it “best for cooling on the go” in our round-up and pointed out that its lightweight design makes it perfect for festivals.
Patagonia torrentshell 3l jacket: From £133.88, Amazon.co.uk
Growing up in the Netherlands, we’ve been to our fair share of festivals where a sunny couple of hours were followed by a heavy shower. In that case, there’s usually nowhere to run – leaving you to dance in the rain and accept you’ll be cold, wet and let’s face it, slightly miserable, for the rest of the day. Luckily, we learned from our mistakes and are always sure to pack a waterproof jacket if the weather looks a bit uncertain.
And who does weather-proof jackets better than Patagonia? Our reviewer rated this one especially for its packability – it can be self-packed into its own pocket, which means you can easily stuff it into a small bag to carry with you on a cloudy day.
They also said the jacket “withstood anything we threw at it”, thanks to its three-layer shell and had “one of the best hoods on test”. If that’s not enough to convince you, maybe its colour range is or the hope that, come Amazon Prime Day, it could get a decent price cut.
Buy now men’s torrentshell jacket, from £133.88, Amazon.co.uk
Buy now women’s torrentshell jacket, from £128, Amazon.co.uk
In our experience, you don’t tend to get much sleep during a festival. You hang around the stages until the last acts are finished, then might have a couple more drinks with new-found friends at the campsite and by the time you’re down for your nap there’s only a couple hours left until the morning sun will wake you up again. So when we do lie down, we want to be as comfy as humanly possible…
Last year, a whole range of camping and outdoor gear was sharply priced for Prime Day and products from Outsunny were also featured, with its hanging heater (£27.99, Amazon.co.uk) having a 21 per cent price reduction. We’re looking forward to seeing more of the brand’s products on offer again this year, and will be looking out for this mummy sleeping bag.
Our reviewer found this model took up surprisingly little space when packed, despite its luxuriously thick design, and will keep you snug. More importantly, keeping you warm and toasty in temperatures as low as 10C, it will do just fine on a British summer night.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian joia dry shampoo: £24.90, Amazon.co.uk
We don’t know about you, but we’ve never been to a multiple-day festival and actually had a shower. Some festival grounds might have them, but most of them don’t – and even if you can have a wash on-site, dire conditions could persuade you otherwise. So, as we didn’t want to feel completely disgusting after a multi-day festival, wet wipes, deodorant and dry shampoo were our new best friends.
This product from Sol de Janeiro came out on top in our round-up. Our reviewer said they couldn’t get enough of its pistachio and salted-caramel fragrance that would linger on their hair all throughout the day.
Well before the pandemic normalised the (excessive) use of hand sanitiser, we never went to a festival without it. Let’s face it, Dixies are not the cleanest places – especially when they’ve already been used by thousands of other people throughout the day. On top of that, tap water at these large-scale events can be unreliable and it’s difficult to keep up with the demand for soap. So, to make sure you’re always able to wash your hands, pack this hand wash from Aesop.
While it’s a different scent than the one our reviewer tested, they also rated the light and refreshing texture of Aesop’s sanitisers (unlike many on-the-go hand washes). And the bottle is small enough to carry with you throughout the day.

A 35-year-old electrical worker died after being electrocuted at a Medford work site.
“With great sadness we can confirm that early this morning a National Grid electric employee died after sustaining injuries on the job while working in Medford,” the unidentified man’s employer, National Grid, an electric utility company, wrote in a statement.
“Our immediate priority is ensuring we are doing everything we can to support this employee’s family and colleagues. We therefore will not be sharing any additional information at this time,” the company added.
The man was working alone in an electrical box at the end of a parking lot at a work site on Salem Street when he was electrocuted at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, which is investigating the death. The electrocution was reported by a Medford Police officer assigned to work detail there.
Medford firefighters and EMS attempted to save the man’s life at the scene but he was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced dead.
Three Medford Police officers were treated and released from a hospital for smoke inhalation, but the information available does not explain the connection of the death and these injuries.
It is the first fatal workplace electrocution death since Joel Boulay was killed when he made contact with live electrical wires while trimming trees in Northboro on Sept. 8, 2021, according to MassCOSH — or the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health, a workplace safety activist organization.
The group also said that two driveway paving workers were seriously injured when their truck touched live wires in Burlington on May 17.
Workplace safety has made headlines in Boston this year, starting in late March when Peter Monsini, a demolition worker, died when part of a floor gave way March 26 at the Government Center Garage demolition site downtown. Just earlier this month, three workers were rescued — one barely escaping with serious injuries — from a partial building collapse at the old South Boston Edison plant on May 4.
In 2021, 62 workers lost their lives on the job, according to a MassCOSH report; 52 of those lost their lives in fatal workplace injuries and 10 firefighters succumbed to diseases they contracted in their work. Construction work remains the most dangerous occupation, according to the report, with nearly 30% of deaths attributable to this industry followed by the transportation and warehousing industries at 15%.
To put a more human face to those statistics, 46 of those people were men and six were women. The youngest to die last year was 19 years old and the eldest was 77. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/05/26/national-grid-electrical-worker-electrocuted-at-medford-job-site-dies-from-injuries/ | 2022-05-26T23:31:49Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/05/26/national-grid-electrical-worker-electrocuted-at-medford-job-site-dies-from-injuries/ | false | 1 |
Nightlife venues warned to stay safe
published : 27 May 2022 at 06:05

The government has urged operators of nightlife outlets to follow precautions against Covid-19 strictly after they reopen for business next month.
Last Friday, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) approved the reopening of such venues in 31 provinces from June 1 but they will still be required to close at midnight.
They include pubs, bars, karaoke bars, massage parlours and other nightspots.
The 31 provinces, with 14 reclassified as green zones in the CCSA's colour-coded Covid-19 situation zoning and 17 recognised as blue zones, will still be required to follow the Covid-free setting measures set by the Ministry of Public Health.
Also last Friday, the CCSA decided to scrap the Thai Pass requirement for Thai nationals returning from abroad by air from June 1.
Apisamai Srirangson, assistant spokeswoman for the CCSA, said on Thursday that only night entertainment venues in the 31 provinces will be allowed to reopen. They must also refrain from holding promotional activities.
Dr Apisamai said some venues have already reopened despite not having received permission. The authorities will issue initial warnings, but if infections are found on their premises, they will be closed for 3-5 days, she said.
Dr Apisamai said some of the 46 provinces that remain high-surveillance yellow zones have reported high numbers of Covid-19 cases, notably Samut Sakhon, Khon Kaen, Sakon Nakhon and Roi Et.
Thailand logged 4,924 new cases of Covid-19 and 37 more fatalities during the previous 24 hours, the CCSA announced. | https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2316570/nightlife-venues-warned-to-stay-safe | 2022-05-26T23:34:17Z | https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2316570/nightlife-venues-warned-to-stay-safe | false | 1 |
The A-League All Stars have fallen just short of a monumental upset against Spanish giants Barcelona, succumbing to a 3-2 defeat after the visitors came from behind to win.
The A-League All Stars were forced to defend for nearly the entire first half and were lucky to only trail 1-0 at the main break, with Barcelona dominating possession and more than tripling the shot count, but lacking the final finish.
But under coach former A-League and Manchester United icon Dwight Yorke, who next season will coach Macarthur FC, the All-Stars put on a spirited second-half showing and briefly threatened one of football's great boilovers.

A costly turnover from the Spanish side in the middle of the park led to the All-Stars' opening goal, courtesy of Wellington Phoenix winger Reno Piscopo, who tapped in a ball on the goal-line after a messy contest.
Then only minutes later, a stunning counter-attack saw Wanderers left-back Adama Traore finishing off a two-on-one situation to find the back of the net in the 56th-minute mark, giving the All Stars a 2-1 lead.
But the lead only lasted 15 minutes, before two goals in five minutes to Barcelona's Adama Traore and teen star Ansu Fati gave the visitors back the lead.
There was nearly one final twist when Mariners' Garang Kuol hit the post in the 88th minute in a promising passage of play.
After that, Barcelona held its nerve to see out the final few minutes.
"That's what I do, it's unlucky I couldn't score," said Kuol of his near-goal late in the game. "As a kid, this is what we dream about. I've been watching them since I was five, 10, 15, it's a dream come true."
While many doubted whether Barcelona would take to the field with a strong side ahead of the match, the visitors didn't let the fans at Accor Stadium down.
Barcelona's starting squad featured several big names, which included Brazilian icon Dani Alves, and Spanish veteran and World Cup winner Sergio Busquets.
Along with them included rising teen star Gavi and France world cup winner Ousmane Dembele, while star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came on in the second half when his side fell into the 2-1 deficit.
Veteran Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba also appeared in the second half.

Player Grades
On Saturday, the Portland Timbers lost 0-2 against the Philadelphia Union, with one of the goals coming from a long throw-in and another coming from a cross where the Union’s striker was left virtually unmarked. Despite these two errors, the Timbers actually performed pretty well and generated a lot of chances or half-chances- they just didn’t capitalize or finish those opportunities.
Here’s my breakdown of how the Timbers’ players performed as they remained in the 10th position in the Western Conference.
Aljaz Ivacic (GK) - 2.5
Ivacic had an all-around poor performance as he ranked below the 20th percentile for his goalkeeping grade and around the 35th percentile for his passing grade. Despite completing a decent percentage of passes (56th percentile), Ivacic again wasn’t involved much in the buildup as he ranked in the sixth percentile for total passes and just the 10th percentile for total long passes. Ivacic’s goalkeeping also wasn’t that great as he ranked below the 50th percentile for all of his goalkeeping grades, with some of the measurements ranking him in the bottom 30th or even bottom 20th percentile. I really think he needs to be more active outside the box and help his defenders out more by going for crosses or closing down the shot angle of opponents, especially with how much the current fullbacks have struggled this season with allowing crosses. Regardless, hopefully he can regain the form that he had before he got injured because at that time, he was actually playing very well.
Jose Van Rankin (RB) - 7.4
This was arguably Van Rankin’s best game of the season thus far, as the Mexican played a major role in the buildup and final product of the Timbers attack and he did a good job of being efficient on the defensive end of things. Van Rankin was involved a lot more from a passing perspective in this game, as he ranked in the 98th percentile for passes per 90 despite ranking in the bottom half for most of the season. Even with this added number of passes, Van Rankin still held high percentages for his passing numbers as he completed 85% of his total passes (80th percentile), all of his four long passes, both of his passes to the penalty area, and 75% of his forward passes (66th percentile). A lot of Van Rankin’s passes were in the final third or forward passes which is another good sign to see. Also, Van Rankin did a good job of advancing the attack forward as he ranked in the 95th percentile for progressive passes and the 99th percentile for progressive passes received. Defensively, despite not attempting many pressures or defensive duels, Van Rankin ranked in the 99th percentile for press percentage and completed all of his defensive duels. This efficiency also contributed to a large number of recoveries for the Mexican, as he ranked in the 80th percentile for that statistic as well.
Dario Zuparic (CB) - 4.6
As a whole, Zuparic’s grades are very similar to Tuiloma, except he is slightly worse most of the time. In this game, Zuparic was slightly above-average in his passing, defensive, and even above-average in his aerial grades, but he performed in just the 20th percentile for his carrying grade, which explains why his grade dipped below the average mark. Zuparic rarely attempted passes in this match (eighth percentile), but he still displayed some accurate passing. The Croatian ranked in the 75th percentile for total passes, completing both of his long passes, his long pass to the final third, and eight of his nine forward passes in the match. Like most of the Timbers back line, Zuparic did not attempt many pressures; however, when he did, he completed a lot of them, ranking in the 76th percentile. It was somewhat the opposite for the Croatian’s defensive duels, as he ranked above-average for his total duels attempted but well below-average for his completion rate of the duels. All in all, this culminated in a solid recoveries rating in the 60th percentile, so Zuparic did a decent job of defending.
Bill Tuiloma (CB) - 5.7
Tuiloma ranked above-average in his passing and defensive grades; however, smaller categories like his carrying and aerial grades prevented him from receiving an even better overall performance rating. While he didn’t receive many passes (as he ranked in just the 34th percentile), Tuiloma did a great job of being efficient with his opportunities, as he ranked in the 88th percentile for pass percentage, completed both of his long passes and passes to the final third, and succeeded in 94% of his forward passes (95th percentile). Like Van Rankin, Tuiloma didn’t attempt many pressures, but when he did, he was very successful relative to other center backs, as the New Zealander ranked in the 83rd percentile. Tuiloma didn’t do a great job with his defensive duels as he hovered around the 30th percentile, but he made up for that by ranking above-average in his recoveries (66th percentile).
Justin Rasmussen (LB) - 3.6
Rasmussen was slightly below-average across the board, however his frequent losing of the ball in his own half played a large role in his low grade. Rasmussen lost the ball a whopping seven times in his own half, despite ranking below-average (42nd percentile) for his total actions in the match. The rookie was around the average for his pressures and press percentage, but his low defensive duel numbers contributed to a recoveries rating in just the 32nd percentile. Despite attempting a fairly high number of passes (75th percentile), Rasmussen completed just 70% (22nd percentile). The American did a good job of passing to the penalty area, as he completed three of five such passes, yet he attempted just two passes to the final third. He completed 63% of his forward passes (41st percentile) and completed just one of his four long passes.
Eryk Williamson (CM) - N/A
Williamson played just 14 minutes before getting injured, which is not enough time to evaluate his performance. Hopefully, he has a quick recovery and we can see him on the field soon, because he was just beginning to build momentum with two assists in his last three games.
Diego Chara (CDM) - 7.3
In this game, Diego was surprisingly below-average defensively, but he made up for that with great passing (76th percentile) and a pretty good offensive grade (60th percentile). Chara’s five shot-creating actions were the most he’s had all season and displays how well rounded he is as a midfielder. Diego was slightly above-average for his pressing and press percentage, however his defensive duels and his defensive duel percentage were abysmal. Chara completed just 17% of his defensive duels, which ranked him in the sixth percentile. Even with this struggle, Chara still ranked in the 85th percentile for his recoveries, so his defensive grade definitely wasn’t all bad. However, Chara’s defense pales in comparison to his passing, as the Colombian completed an insane 98% of his passes on a decent amount of attempts too (49th percentile). Notably, Chara completed all of his three long passes, nine passes to the final third, seven progressive passes and 95% of his forward passes.
Cristhian Paredes (CM) - 4.3
It was another typical performance from Paredes as he did a good job defensively (63rd percentile), but he struggled to get himself consistently involved in the buildup. Again, Paredes didn’t receive many touches again, as he ranked below the 25th percentile for total actions, but he also did not execute many of his total actions, ranking in just the eighth percentile. Going back to his defensive performance, Paredes attempted a lot of pressures (97th percentile) but his completion rate was around the average mark. Likewise, he did a good job of attempting defensive duels (85th percentile), but this time his completion rate was even lower (30th percentile). Because Paredes attempted so many pressures and defensive duels, he ranked fairly high in his recoveries as well (83rd percentile). While his defensive production was pretty good, Paredes struggled in his passing as he completed just 79% of his total passes (32nd percentile) and attempted just one pass to the final third and three long passes. In specific areas of passing (such as long balls or forward passes), Paredes actually performed pretty well— he just didn’t attempt many in the match.
Yimmi Chara (CM/CAM/RW) - 7.2
Yimmi had an all-around solid performance as he ranked around or above average for each major category, but his passing especially stood out in this game. The Colombian completed 91% of his total passes (80th percentile) on a large sample size (80th percentile). Due to this accurate passing on such a large amount of attempts, Yimmi had a large effect on this game. Specifically, Yimmi completed all of his three long passes, nine passes to the final third, and 94% of his forward passes. The Colombian also received a massive amount of progressive passes in the match. It was emblematic of the fact that even though the Timbers didn’t get the result that they wanted, they still did a better job of linking up in their forward players. Defensively, Yimmi didn’t attempt many pressures. However, his completion rate was very good as he ranked in the 96th percentile for midfielders. Ultimately, Yimmi’s lack of production from his defensive duels and limited number of pressures led to his recovery numbers being fairly low for his position (27th percentile), but as previously stated, there are some positives to take away from his defensive performance. Lastly, Yimmi did another solid job of getting shots off (two in the match with one on target) and creating shots for his teammates (two shot assists and three shot-creating actions), so hopefully Yimmi can finally build some consistency with his performances against Inter Miami.
Nathan (ST) - 5.8
While Nathan didn’t get on the scoreboard again, he did achieve another above-average rating, which is something Timbers strikers this season have really struggled to do and Nathan has now done this on back-to-back games. The Brazilian ranked above-average for everything but his shooting (which is obviously the most important trait for a striker). But, it is a good thing to see Nathan contributing in other categories, such as his passing (66th percentile), aerial duels (71st percentile), and his pressing (57th percentile). He completed 81% of his passes on a decent amount of attempts (46th percentile) and racked up two progressive passes (55th percentile). Additionally, Nathan won two of his four aerial duels, which is a pretty good aerial duel rate for a striker (~80th percentile). On another note, while Nathan didn’t apply much pressure in this match (15th percentile), he completed a large majority of his presses (96th percentile). Furthermore, the striker won two of his three defensive duels, which is another pretty good defensive rate (76th percentile). Now while two shots and none on target are poor from a starting striker, I think it is promising to see Nathan contributing in other aspects of this game— something Timbers strikers have been relatively unable to do this season.
Sebastian Blanco (LW) - 6.9
Apart from his defensive grade (which was actually better than it usually is), Blanco had a very well-rounded performance as he ranked above the 60th percentile for every major category and the Argentine excelled in his passing, playmaking, and dribbling. Blanco did a good job of finding space from his defender, as he frequently received the ball in this match (97th percentile for targets). His overall passing wasn’t awesome (55th percentile), but Blanco performed very well in specific areas. The Argentine completed all eight of his passes to the final third, three of his five passes to the penalty area, and 83% of his forward passes, all of which are above the 70th percentile, with most of these statistics hovering around the 80th-90th percentile. For arguably the first time this season, Blanco was also dangerous with his dribbling, as he recorded 11 progressive carries (95th percentile), drew four fouls (90th percentile), and completed five of his nine dribbles (~70th percentile). As you can see, this was a good offensive performance from Blanco. The Timbers just needed to find that final bit of quality to score goals, but things for Blanco are trending in the right direction.
Substitutes:
Santiago Moreno (RW) - 5.8
Moreno had a decent performance, however, he was a bit inconsistent with some of his grades, which prevented him from achieving a rating like Blanco or Yimmi. The Colombian displayed good passing and playmaking with a high defensive work rate, but he was slightly below-average in his dribbling and his offensive grade was also below-average, proving once again that Moreno needs to work on his final product. Like Blanco, Moreno often received the ball (89th percentile for targets), and the young Colombian was even better than Blanco in certain areas of his passing. As a whole, Moreno completed a higher percentage of his passes (72nd percentile), passes to the penalty area (75th percentile), and forward passes (86th percentile), although Blanco ranked slightly higher in his attempted passes into some of those areas. Similar to most of the Timbers team, Moreno didn’t attempt many pressures or defensive duels , but he succeeded at them at a decently high rate (62nd percentile for pressures, and Moreno won his lone defensive duel). Because of his success rate, Moreno often recovered the ball, as he ranked in the 80th percentile for recoveries for wingers. Because of this defensive work, I believe that Moreno’s dribbling in this match was adversely affected, as the Colombian completed just one of his four dribbles, ranked in just the seventh percentile for progressive distance per carry, and did not attempt a single carry into the final third or penalty area. I really believe there is a negative trend with Moreno’s defensive work rate and his dribbling success rate, so hopefully he can do a bit of both in future games as he receives more game time and experience.
Larrys Mabiala (CB) - 3.6
Mabiala wasn’t required to do much defensive work in this game, as evident through his defensive grade ranking in the third percentile; however, he did impact the game through his ball progression and passing. Mabiala was pretty much non-existent defensively, as he didn’t even attempt a pressure or defensive duel in the match. In the end, this resulted in a very low number of recoveries, as Mabiala ranked in just the second percentile. Instead, it appears that Mabiala was brought on to create opportunities through his passing as he ranked in the 40th percentile for his total passes, much higher than any of his defensive statistics. Mabiala had a decent passing performance, as he completed 87% of his passes (65th percentile), ranking slightly below-average for his long and forward passing, but well above-average for his passes to the final third and his completion rate in that area (~80th percentile).
Marvin Loria (LW/LWB) - 5.8
Loria had a very inconsistent performance as he performed very well in his passing and playmaking, ranking above the 80th percentile for both, but he struggled defensively and with his dribbling offensive grade (meaning his final product or offensive duels). Being brought on in the 66th minute two goals down, I have a feeling Loria’s purpose on the field was to try to create opportunities going forward and to somewhat forget about the defending. Like the other wingers for the Timbers, Loria often received the ball and he performed really well with his passing. The Costa Rican completed 87% of his total passes (88th percentile), including both of his crosses. He also completed one of his two passes to the final third, two of his three passes to the penalty area, and 71% of his forward passes. While this might not seem like a lot of passes into dangerous areas, for Loria’s time on the field (~40 minutes), this is some pretty good production. Apart from his passing and playmaking, Loria was unable to influence the game in any other fashion, whether it be defensively, through his dribbling, or producing that final ball and creating shots for himself or his teammates.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – Brewery Ommegang announced that the Belgian-style farmstead brewery in Cooperstown, New York, will once again support the national nonprofit Soldiers’ Angels through the annual “Hops for Heroes” campaign. The historic brewery, which previously participated in the fundraiser in 2020, will brew a custom recipe, Homefront IPA™, and donate 100% of the proceeds to support U.S. service members, veterans and their families.
The announcement marks the 13th craft beer company to collaborate on this year’s Hops for Heroes campaign, which helps fund Soldiers’ Angels’ national and international support programs. Other breweries participating in the program include Founders Brewing Co. (Grand Rapids and Detroit, Michigan), Center of the Universe Brewing (Ashland, Virginia), Left Hand Brewing (Longmont, Colorado) and Karbach Brewing (Houston, Texas).
“We are ecstatic to collaborate on the Hops for Heroes campaign again this year,” said Melissa Miosek, brand director at Brewery Ommegang. “It is extremely rewarding to support such a noble cause, and we are honored to be able to give back to those who have given so much to us.”
“We’re thrilled to once again welcome Brewery Ommegang to the Hops for Heroes campaign to raise funds for those who have sacrificed for our country,” said Soldiers’ Angels President & CEO Amy Palmer. “Through their generous support and the donations from craft breweries from across the country, Soldiers’ Angels will be providing vital resources to support our veterans, our service men and women deployed throughout the world, and their families back home.”
Soldiers’ Angels is a national nonprofit headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 2003 by the family of General George Patton. Through its global network of tens of thousands of volunteers, it fulfills its mission of providing aid, comfort and resources to the military, veterans and their families through a variety of ways — from shipping care packages to deployed service members to providing food assistance to low-income and homeless veterans, and more.
Brewery Ommegang plans to release its version of Homefront IPA on-site between Labor Day and Veterans Day.
All net proceeds from sales of Homefront IPA will be donated to Soldiers’ Angels to support its service programs, which provided assistance to more than 982,000 service members, veterans, wounded heroes and their families in 2021 alone.

Now, as a particle physicist who specializes in building instruments to study particles called neutrinos, he volunteers every year to teach the types of introductory classes that changed his own life.
Not every student in his classes will throw aside their plans in order to study neutrinos for a living. But Schmitz hopes that no matter their career, each comes away “impacted by a year of studying physics in a detailed way and recognizing how cool it is, its connection to things all around them, and its impact in the world.”
To foster these realizations, Schmitz makes an effort to show students just how much fundamental physics is all around them—from seeing how Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism explain the workings of an electric motor to looking at the color patterns that are created when oil floats on water in the streets after a rain to understand how light waves interfere.
“Demonstrations and examples are always great,” he said, “and when I can, I try to do it with elements from research or even with things the students might have at home or around them, in addition to specialized demonstration equipment. In a waves course, I like to bring my guitar to class as an illustration of standing waves. In electricity and magnetism, I'll use examples from my own research in particle physics where fundamental E&M is everywhere.”
In doing so, Schmitz seeks to emphasize that the physics problems he asks students to complete are not completely abstract: “They’re not just textbook subjects for the sake of challenging your math skills, though they definitely do that too.”
“I’m always looking for ways to highlight connections—both the connections between different concepts within physics, as well as between physics and the world around us,” he said. “There is a real thrill in realizing these connections that has never faded for me, and I love sharing it with students every year.”

Matthias Haase, Assistant Professor of Philosophy
As a university student in Germany years ago, Matthias Haase learned a valuable lesson he’s carried with him since. “We were reading Kant and the professor said, ‘If you are puzzled, hold onto your puzzlement; if it all seems intelligible to you, that’s a terrible sign,’” Haase recalled.
Now an assistant professor of philosophy whose research interests span ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of action, and German idealism, Haase still stands firmly by that advice. “The only way to get to understanding is to get puzzled and more and more puzzled,” he said. “Only then are you onto some bigger question.” | https://news.uchicago.edu/story/university-announces-2022-winners-quantrell-and-graduate-teaching-awards | 2022-05-26T23:43:15Z | https://news.uchicago.edu/story/university-announces-2022-winners-quantrell-and-graduate-teaching-awards | true | 1 |
BOSTON (AP) — It took more than three centuries, but the last Salem “witch” who wasn’t has been officially pardoned.
Massachusetts lawmakers on Thursday formally exonerated Elizabeth Johnson Jr., clearing her name 329 years after she was convicted of witchcraft in 1693 and sentenced to death at the height of the Salem Witch Trials.
Johnson was never executed, but neither was she officially pardoned like others wrongly accused of witchcraft.
Lawmakers agreed to reconsider her case last year after a curious eighth-grade civics class at North Andover Middle School took up her cause and researched the legislative steps needed to clear her name.
Subsequent legislation introduced by state Sen. Diana DiZoglio, a Democrat from Methuen, was tacked onto a budget bill and approved.
“We will never be able to change what happened to victims like Elizabeth but at the very least can set the record straight,” DiZoglio said.
In a statement, North Andover teacher Carrie LaPierre — whose students championed the legislation — praised the youngsters for taking on “the long-overlooked issue of justice for this wrongly convicted woman.”
“Passing this legislation will be incredibly impactful on their understanding of how important it is to stand up for people who cannot advocate for themselves and how strong of a voice they actually have," she said.
Johnson is the last accused witch to be cleared, according to Witches of Massachusetts Bay, a group devoted to the history and lore of the 17th-century witch hunts.
“For 300 years, Elizabeth Johnson Jr. was without a voice, her story lost to the passages of time,” said state Sen. Joan Lovely, of Salem,
Twenty people from Salem and neighboring towns were killed and hundreds of others accused during a frenzy of Puritan injustice that began in 1692, stoked by superstition, fear of disease and strangers, scapegoating and petty jealousies. Nineteen were hanged, and one man was crushed to death by rocks.
Johnson was 22 when she was caught up in the hysteria of the witch trials and sentenced to hang. That never happened: Then-Gov. William Phips threw out her punishment as the magnitude of the gross miscarriages of justice in Salem sank in.
In the more than three centuries that have ensued, dozens of suspects officially were cleared, including Johnson’s own mother, the daughter of a minister whose conviction eventually was reversed.
But for some reason, Johnson’s name wasn’t included in various legislative attempts to set the record straight. Because she wasn’t among those whose convictions were formally set aside, hers still technically stood. Unlike others wrongfully accused, Johnson never had children and thus had no descendants to act on her behalf.
“Elizabeth’s story and struggle continue to greatly resonate today," DiZoglio said. “While we’ve come a long way since the horrors of the witch trials, women today still all too often find their rights challenged and concerns dismissed." | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/national/article_54e2417e-dd38-11ec-8ce9-07845f17dc1e.html | 2022-05-26T23:53:03Z | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/national/article_54e2417e-dd38-11ec-8ce9-07845f17dc1e.html | true | 52 |

The Justice Department is closing its review of two former FBI agents who botched the investigation into Larry Nassar, the doctor who sexually assaulted dozens of girls and women, including some of the nation's most prominent gymnasts.
In an unsigned statement late Thursday, the department said it had decided not to bring charges against the former special agents at the FBI after receiving a recommendation from experienced federal prosecutors who sifted through evidence and analyzed the issues. One of them is Kenneth Polite, the assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division, who brought fresh eyes to the issues in part because he was not involved in earlier decisions in the matter.
"While the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General has outlined serious concerns about the former agents' conduct during the Nassar investigation, and also described how evidence shows that during interviews in the years after the events in question both former agents appear to have provided inaccurate or incomplete information to investigators, the Principles of Federal Prosecution require more to bring a federal criminal case," the Justice Department said in a written statement.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco pledged to Congress that she would launch a review of the case last October.
"I am deeply sorry that, in this case, the victims did not receive the response or the protection that they deserved," Monaco testified at the time.
Four elite gymnasts offered wrenching and vivid testimony of their own at a Senate hearing last September. McKayla Maroney spoke of sharing her story of abuse with the FBI in grueling detail, only to hear silence on the other end of the phone.
"I am tired of waiting for people to do the right thing," Maroney said.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has apologized for the failings, which he called "inexcusable." The Justice Department said Thursday that authorities would continue to learn from the mistakes and that it would work with Congress to close any gaps in the law.
The fallout from the Nassar scandal continues. Last month, 13 girls and women notified the FBI they intend to sue over the bureau's failure to follow up on early reports of abuse.
John Manly, an attorney who represents survivors of Nassar's abuse, tweeted that the DOJ decision is "a gut punch" to victims and their families. He said the review amounted to "a PR stunt to deflect criticism" and said he would urge Congress to hold another public hearing.

LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — It’s been eight years since Toasha Nicole Rice, also known as “Nikki Green,” was last seen leaving a friend’s home in western Lincoln County, North Carolina.
Rice reportedly left a friend’s home in a black four-door sedan with an unidentified white woman on May 26, 2014, on Eaker Road and has not been seen since.
Lincoln County Sheriff’s detectives interviewed family members and a number of people she was known to associate with but no one has any information about the missing woman.
In the months after Rice went missing, officers used a K-9 search team in a large wooded area off Sorrells Baxter Road and Eaker Road in western Lincoln County, around the old Massapoag Mill in Lincolnton, and several other locations outside Lincoln County.
All leads were exhausted with no signs of the woman, the sheriff’s office said.
“Since I have been in office we have continued to receive tips from the public. The investigation is ongoing as deputies follow up on the information and tips that have come, but unfortunately, none of the information has panned out,” Lincoln County Sheriff Bill Beam said to QCN in 2019.
Detectives followed up on all leads received in the case but nothing in the lengthy search has led them to Rice. Rice, who also goes by “Nikki Green” on her Facebook page, is a white woman who was 27-years-old when she disappeared. She is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, and weighs 140 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office at 704-732-9050, the Lincoln County Communications Center at 704-735-8202 or Lincolnton/Lincoln County Crime Stoppers at 704-736-8909. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and if your tip leads to an arrest you could receive a reward of up to $1,000. | https://www.wbtw.com/news/state-regional-news/eight-years-later-the-mystery-behind-a-missing-north-carolina-woman-remains/ | 2022-05-27T00:05:15Z | https://www.wbtw.com/news/state-regional-news/eight-years-later-the-mystery-behind-a-missing-north-carolina-woman-remains/ | true | 3 |
The Czech capital stripped a Soviet World War II commander of his honorary Prague citizenship Thursday.
The Prague City Council ’s approved Mayor Zdenek Hrib’s proposal to revoke the honor bestowed in June 1945 on Soviet Marshal Ivan Stepanovic Konev.
Konev led the Red Army forces that liberated large parts of Czechoslovakia from Nazi occupation in 1945 and also contributed to Prague’s liberation. He died in 1973.
The mayor said the general and his army were welcomed in Prague in 1945 but he based his proposal on Konev’s post-war activities.
Hrib cited Konev’s authorization of a Soviet bombardment of the Czech town of Mlada Boleslav a day after World War ended, an attack which killed some 150 Czech citizens, and his role in crushing the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising in Hungary.
Two years ago, a Prague district removed a statue of Konev. The action angered Russia.
After communism ended in 1989, Prague authorities stripped honorary citizenship from Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

Wake Forest has hired American's Megan Gebbia as its new women's basketball coach.
The Demon Deacons announced Gebbia's hiring Thursday evening, a little more than two weeks after the firing of former Demon Deacons all-conference performer Jen Hoover.
The 49-year-old Gebbia had spent the past nine seasons at American, leading the Eagles to three NCAA Tournament bids while twice being named the Patriot League coach of the year. Last year's team won 23 games and reached the NCAAs.
Wake Forest has scheduled an introductory news conference for Gebbia on Friday.
The challenge facing Gebbia is to help the Demon Deacons build to becoming a regular NCAA Tournament team. The program has only reached two tournaments in its history, the first in 1988 and then in 2021.
The Demon Deacons followed that tournament trip with a 16-17 season that included only four Atlantic Coast Conference wins.

500 Flags to be Dedicated to Our Heroes
For the second year in a row, Fort Collins Rotary Club will present its annual Field of Honor® American Flag Display over Memorial Day weekend May 27 through 30 in Fort Collins. The Field of Honor® displays 500 American flags, each with a medallion honoring special heroes. This year the Rotary Club has made special effort to redefine the idea of heroes from not only being veterans (living or deceased), active military, but also first responders, medical workers, and anyone’s personal heroes. The field of red, white and blue is a powerful experience and provides the perfect opportunity for everyone to remember and honor their many heroes.
“We had some members of our club who were aware of other similar Memorial Day, Veteran Day, 4th of July type of celebrations and they thought (The Field of Honor®) would be a great way to recognize heroes in our community and do something positive and a great way to bring the community together,” said Rotary Club volunteer Kathy Miner. “We just felt like it went so well last year, and 500 heroes isn’t a lot of heroes for a community or county of 250,000, so we think other people will want to honor other kinds of heroes. We’re trying to expand the definition of hero; initially we wanted to focus on veterans and active service members, but we also felt like police, fire fighters, teachers, medical personnel, and frontline workers, there are a lot of heroes in our community.”
Medallions are available for $50 each at rotaryfcbreakfast.org. Each medallion will proudly display the hero’s name and dedication each person chooses to recognize. Individuals, organizations, and businesses can also become Event Sponsors for $250 at rotaryfcbreakfast.org. Event Sponsors will receive media and event exposure and three medallions to honor their heroes.
“Our main beneficiary of this event, the sale of medallions, is a local non-profit organization called Health4Heroes (Health4Heroes.org). They provide mental health services and physical health services for veterans and first responders,” added Kathy. “We chose them from among a number of organizations to support last year and we decided to go ahead and support them again this year based on the great work that they do and services they provide.”
The Field of Honor® with 500 flags can be found north of Veteran’s Plaza at Spring Canyon Park in west Fort Collins. The Rotary Club hopes to unite the community and proceeds will also benefit the Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary Foundation, to be used for local and international projects.
The event is open to the public completely free of charge and all are invited to visit this memorable display of 500 American flags from Friday through Monday of Memorial Day weekend.
Rotary International is a global network of 1.2 million individuals who see a world where people UNITE and take ACTION to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Rotary Club of Fort Collins Breakfast was founded in 1989 and meets on Thursdays at 7 am. Through fundraising, member donations and volunteer hours, Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary has assisted numerous local organizations such as Food Bank for Larimer County, Meals on Wheels and Project Self-Sufficiency. Club-sponsored international projects include projects in India, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and elsewhere. For more information, go to Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary. (fcbreakfastrotary.org).

Sydney GP Kean Seng Lim warns the return of face masks is essential as Australia braces for a horror winter ahead.
"I think we have a big problem coming," he told the Today show on Thursday.
"You have got the Covid and influenza viruses both coming on together.
"We do see them happening more during these winter months as people cluster closer together," he said.
"We also have the problem where we are going to have fewer staff. It isn't just because staff are off, because they themselves are sick, but also because their kids and grandkids are sick at schools and or schools are reducing because teachers are sick and so forth and so forth because everything interconnects."- Dr Kean Seng Lim
Victoria and NSW look likely to follow Queensland in offering free flu jabs as millions of Aussies will be eligible for a fourth Covid vaccine from next week.

Firefighters rescue ‘Cinder’ the elk calf from fire’s ashes
UPDATED: Thu., May 26, 2022

Sink says he saw no signs of the calf's mother and helped transport the baby bull to a wildlife rehabilitation center to be raised alongside a surrogate gown elk. (Nate Sink)
SANTA FE, N.M. — Firefighters have rescued an abandoned newborn elk calf found amid the ashes of the nation’s largest wildfire as calving season approaches its peak in New Mexico and fires rage across the American West.
Missoula, Montana-based firefighter Nate Sink said Tuesday that he happened upon the motionless elk calf on the ground of a fire-blackened New Mexico forest as he patrolled and extinguished lingering hot spots.
“The whole area is just surrounded in a thick layer of ash and burned trees. I didn’t think it was alive,” said Sink, who was deployed to the state to help contain a wildfire that by Wednesday had spread across 486 square miles and destroyed hundreds of structures.
It’s is one of five major uncontained fires burning in New Mexico amid extremely dry and windy conditions. More than 3,000 firefighters battling the biggest blaze have made significant progress halting its growth in recent days ahead of more dangerous fire conditions forecast to return into the weekend, crew commanders said Wednesday night.
Wildlife officials in general discourage interactions with elk calves that are briefly left alone in the first weeks of life as their mothers forage at a distance. Sink says he searched diligently for traces of the calf’s mother and found none.
The 32-pound singed bull calf, dubbed “Cinder,” was taken for care to a nearby ranch and is now regaining strength at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Espanola, north of Santa Fe.
Veterinarian Kathleen Ramsay at Cottonwood Rehab says she paired Cinder with a full-grown surrogate elk to be raised with as little human contact as possible.
“They do elk things, they don’t do people things,” said Ramsay, noting Cinder arrived at a tender days-old age with his umbilical cord still attached.
Ramsay said the calf hopefully can be released into the wild in December after elk-hunting season. The strategy has worked repeatedly with elk tracked by tags as they rejoined wild herds.
The calf’s rescue was reminiscent of events 70 years ago in New Mexico involving a scalded black bear cub and the fire prevention mascot “Smokey Bear.”
The U.S. fire-safety campaign took on new urgency in 1950 with the rescue by firefighters of a black bear cub that was badly burned by wildfire in southern New Mexico. The cub — named Smokey Bear after the mascot — recovered and lived at the National Zoo until its death in 1976.
Wildfires have broken out this spring in multiple states in the West, where climate change and an enduring drought are fanning the frequency and intensity of forest and grassland fires.
Crews battling the biggest U.S. fire in northern New Mexico took advantage of one last day of favorable weather Wednesday before hotter, drier and windier conditions are forecast to return late Thursday and continue to worsen into next week.
“All across the fire, we’re making a lot of really good progress over the last few days,” incident commander Carl Schwope said at a briefing Wednesday night.
“We do have some more critical fire weather moving in … starting now and getting warmer and drier throughout the weekend. (But) feeling real confident that we are ahead of the curve on that,” he said.
Bruno Rodriguez, an inter-agency meteorologist assigned to the fire, said gusts should continue to increase by about 5 mph per day, from 25 mph Thursday to as strong as 50 mph by Monday.
“It’s definitely going to be a critical fire weather pattern and unfortunately it’s going to be fairly prolonged and persistent,” he said.

5 Steps to Detoxify Your Body Naturally
(Family Features) As you prepare your mind and body for the warmer months, you may be interested in detoxification as a way of cleansing and eliminating toxins. A typical detoxification period may include fasting and a strict diet combined with light, appropriate exercise.
According to Ayurvedic practices, an ancient Indian science focused on whole-body healing and health optimization, it may be beneficial to detoxify. Consider these steps toward detoxification from the experts at Buddha Teas:
Aim for a Healthy Lifestyle
Before considering the specifics of daily routines and phases of detoxification, it’s important to focus your lifestyle around healthy practices. For example, aim to minimize stress by participating in uplifting activities such as mindful walking, meditation, spending time in nature or other hobbies that put you at ease. Remember to rest both your mind and body, and get an appropriate amount of sleep each night.
Preparation Phase
Take 3-7 days to prepare your body for detoxification. The start of your journey should involve the elimination or drastic reduction of caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs.
Active Cleansing Phase
During the 7-14-day active phase, it’s important to create and follow a singular diet of kitchari, which consists of mung beans, basmati rice, spices and vegetables. As a complete protein that’s easy to digest, kitchari helps reset your digestive system while restoring digestive fire and supporting the elimination of toxins. If you’re looking for a place to start, consider trying a few different recipes online, or purchase from a natural foods store.
If kitchari isn’t right for you, opt for oatmeal in the morning and steamed vegetables or vegetable soup with basmati rice for lunch and dinner. Be conscious of portion control; eat enough for satisfaction without overeating. Aim to finish your evening meal 2-4 hours before sunset.
Another important aspect of the active phase is liquid intake. Drink hot water with lemon juice in the morning. Throughout the day, consider a hot tea with bitter herbs like Buddha Teas’ Detox Dharma Blend. This delicious option consists of carefully chosen herbs and spices that come together to help eliminate toxins. Other effective hot teas include nettle leaf, dandelion root and dandelion leaf.
Create a Morning Routine
To stay on track during the active phase, it is helpful to create routines, starting with your morning wake-up call. After brushing your teeth and other daily to-dos, try relaxing techniques like sipping 8-16 ounces of hot water with lemon juice, self-massaging, taking a warm or hot shower or bath, gently exercising and combining these activities with an appropriate active phase morning meal.
Create an Evening Routine
Proper relaxation prior to bedtime can help encourage restful sleep. Avoid watching TV about one hour before bedtime and consider massaging your feet with herbal oil for a few minutes before rinsing with cool water. Drink a peaceful beverage like a milk substitute mixed with Buddha Teas’ Golden Milk, which is developed from an Ayurvedic recipe that provides satisfaction and comfort while supporting the body and mind.
As your active phase comes to a close, slowly reintroduce foods like dairy, wheat, soy, meat and fish. Continue activities like gentle yoga, walking, tai chi and qi gong then rejuvenate your body with hot beverages like turmeric ginger tea, chaga tea and mushroom tea.

Ahead of its midnight premiere, Netflix has added a content warning to the fourth season of Stranger Things following the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The warning card reads: “We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago. But given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode 1 distressing. We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.”
The warning card will be on the service when the new season premieres at midnight PT tonight. The card appears before the Season 3 recap that auto-plays at the beginning of season 4, episode 1 for viewers in the U.S. only.
Netflix also has edited the description for episode 1 to include: “Warning: Contains graphic violence involving children” and also has added “disturbing images” to the show rating advisories.
The card was added given the proximity of the launch to the Texas tragedy, and because the opening scene is very graphic, we’re told.
Nineteen children and two adults were killed Tuesday in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX.
In Season 4, per the logline, it’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.
Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, Stranger Things is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions & 21 Laps Entertainment. The twin brothers serve as writers, directors, executive producers and showrunners on the series alongside executive producer/director Shawn Levy and exec producer Dan Cohen of 21 Laps and exec producer Iain Paterson.
The first seven episodes of the nine-episode fourth season, which will air in two parts, will drop at midnight May 27 and the final two episodes will be released on July 1.

If the camping world could claim a power couple, look to former Minnesotans Sarah Smith and Kevin Long.
The two are leveraging an outdoors aesthetic seeded in their youth here to produce their online platform the Dyrt that, like a good headlamp or reliable fire starter, is a camping essential.
Smith was born in St. Cloud, grew up in Bemidji, and fondly recounted a childhood of family camping trips in the Northwoods and beyond. Long is from Roseville, where his involvement in scouting helped source his love of the outdoors and nights spent in a sleeping bag.
Today, from their home in Portland, Ore. (and sometimes from the road), they've watched the Dyrt become the most-used camping review and booking app. Numbers back it up: There were 27 million visitors last year to the Dyrt's website and app. What's more: It took the app six years to crowdsource 2 million pictures, videos and reviews of campgrounds from users. In the past year, the Dyrt doubled that content, Long said.
Smith is getting the response she never could have envisioned when she rolled out a beta version of the Dyrt website in 2014. The first app was introduced in 2017, and today there is a premium version, the Dyrt PRO, with an annual membership price of $36 and next-level features such as trip-planning tools and downloadable maps for offline use from a vast database.
"It's really fun to see people with the same passion solving the same pain point [of finding a campground online]," said Long, the Dyrt's chief executive.
In the near term, they've taken advantage of their massive audience by asking members about their experiences and what they want. Those responses, along with findings from two separate national surveys commissioned by the Dyrt, have been pooled in a camping report whose highlights speak to the activity's meteoric rise during the pandemic. Some notable finds:
- The Dyrt reports that about 8.3 million people camped for the first time nationally in 2021; 40% of those newcomers were from Black, Indigenous or people of color communities. "Once people do it for the first time, it is just a lot more accessible," Long said.
- Going remote isn't going away: 23% of campers worked from a campsite in 2021, up from 16% pre-pandemic.
- With demand comes supply issues — as in campsite vacancies. Booking has become three times harder since 2019.
In a recent interview, Smith and Long talked in-depth about their growing "community," the data behind camping's trends and bigger dreams for the Dyrt. Their answers are edited for length and clarity.
On their Minnesota roots and their influence
Sarah: My dad was a professor, so we always had the summers free. Professors always don't make a lot of money, so [camping] is what we would do for vacation. I remember countless summers driving with my parents and grandparents around Lake Superior, to camp and catch fish. I am so grateful for connecting as a young person to the outdoors. It was so impactful.
Kevin: I was an Eagle Scout. It was just ingrained in me early on from camping around Minnesota through the Boy Scouts.
On more campers from BIPOC communities
Kevin: The outdoor industry as a whole has been pretty elitist, and it is really great to see [more diversity]. We are building a camping-for-all community where we have the most campgrounds and most campground reviews and the top-ranked camping app. So we have a tool that can really help people get over that first-time camping hurdle. Part of that is how do we leverage the Dyrt as a tool for access for a variety of different communities to enjoy the outdoors, so that everybody gets to experience what Sarah and I grew up doing. The Dyrt is all about community; that's why it works.
On the growth trends
Kevin: It didn't show a certain area — it's really all over the U.S. Camping is a very economical vacation, and you get even more relaxation and your bank account doesn't take a huge hit. That is a different way to think about a vacation than people are used to. I have heard multiple times from first-time campers that that was an interesting takeaway. I never thought about camping like that.
Sarah: The pandemic played a huge role in this. All of the sudden, people couldn't get on airplanes, they couldn't go to hotels. Camping just skyrocketed. In 2020, we had just launched Dyrt Pro. That went through the roof. Everyone was like, is this a blip? Is it going to come down in 2021? [Memberships] just kept increasing in 2021. A lot of first-timers got out there in 2020, and that barrier was broken.
On the increase in dispersed camping
Sarah: Dispersed camping has doubled in just the past year. I think it is the type of camping that people don't understand, but once you do it, it opens up this whole world of public lands where you don't need reservations and can access camping easily. When people understand how to disperse camp, that can help alleviate some of the stress off the campgrounds.
Kevin: The hardest thing is knowing where you can go. The public land maps on the Dyrt Pro are really valuable.
On increased RV use
Kevin: Our report showed that 57% of campers who tried new forms of camping 2021 opted for RVs and camper vans. When we are seeing people try new forms of camping, that is the jump we are seeing.
Sarah: Twenty-three percent of campers worked from a campground. And that is what we did for six months (beginning in the summer of 2021). When you have that many people who are starting to see camping not as a recreational thing you do on the weekends but almost as a lifestyle, then that is where hookups, having WiFi, etc. become more important.
On their growing user base
Kevin: This thing is a community. It's not a tech product, and it wouldn't work without the community. We could go scrape the internet and get you the addresses of campgrounds. Just like Airbnb, you want pictures, videos and reviews from other users. Camping is no different. And if anything, it is more important. There is such a diverse type of camper who wants specific needs, and everyone wants something different.
On the Dyrt's future
Kevin: In the next five years, if you camp anywhere in the world, you will be using the Dyrt. That is the trajectory. We have raised over $22 million. We have 60 staff spread out all over. We will be the next Expedia or Tripadvisor or Yelp. We will be that brand in the next five years when you chart out the growth of our community data. All of that information is going into the platform. Then the quality assurance is also coming from the community. We have members who flag content, edit content and correct content. And what is interesting is seeing that loop over time take off.
Sarah: The reason we have this community that is so engaged and so excited to help with this platform is because they feel the same pain point that we felt when we originally started. And that pain point is that it is really hard to find a campground online. You can't see pictures. What did Joe think of this campground? That is the community and content that was missing from the camping industry. That is why the community cares — they understand the problem. | https://m.startribune.com/the-dyrt-camping-campsites-campgrounds-state-parks-minnesota/600176860/ | 2022-05-27T00:34:16Z | https://m.startribune.com/the-dyrt-camping-campsites-campgrounds-state-parks-minnesota/600176860/ | false | 2 |
Condolences, prayers, blood donations and financial contributions have poured into Uvalde, Texas, in the days since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. Therapy dogs have, too.
At least five organizations in and beyond Texas have deployed dogs to the city, where they comforted mourners at a Wednesday night vigil and are visiting hospitals, churches, schools and other locations. They offer support to the grief-stricken community in the form of wet noses, warm cuddles, wagging tails and listening ears.
Therapy dogs provide a valuable service to people responding to traumatic incidents, facilitating decompression and breaking down communication barriers, Crisis Response Canines President Andrea Hering told NPR over email.
"Dogs are nonjudgmental and they don't ask unwise questions," she added.
The teams are traveling from across the country
Crisis Response Canines is sending six teams of certified handlers and dogs — Tarik, Exon, Axel, Zodiac, Murphy and Macy — to Uvalde from New Jersey, Ohio and Florida.
The group's crisis response teams have provided support after more than a dozen mass shootings across the country, including those at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Oxford High School in Michigan and, most recently, the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y.
Another group, Lutheran Church Charities, said on Facebook that its comfort dogs were invited to Uvalde by the school district and local faith leaders.
Their LCC Comfort Dog Ministry is deploying eight golden retrievers from various parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado this week, with more dogs to come.
"We know that comfort is needed to help this shocked and devastated community and the first responders who serve them," the ministry said.
Like Crisis Response Canines, their teams have responded to other mass killings across the country — including Oxford High School and the Waukesha, Wis., parade attack — and the group encourages supporters to donate to a fund for their travel expenses.
Other comfort dogs and handlers are coming from a little closer to home, like Therapy Animals of San Antonio and Canines 4 Christ, which is sending six teams including therapy dogs to Uvalde in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Chaplain Kris Blair coordinated a group of volunteers through Canines 4 Christ and other therapy dog organizations (she's also the therapy dog program coordinator at the Brooke Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, but stresses the center did not officially deploy any canine teams to Uvalde).
She told NPR that she wanted to "help people heal through our dogs."
"So many people put up walls when they have heavy emotions, and so just lending our dogs to them will sometimes break through those walls," she explained. "The humans can't necessarily get through, but the dogs will certainly start chipping away at that wall, and [are] able to distract them a little bit from all the chaos that's going on and let them focus on something happy."
Dogs and handlers go through lots of training
While the interactions between comfort dogs and humans are typically soothing and gentle, they require extensive training and preparation.
Hering explained that Crisis Response Canine dogs receive therapy dog certification as well as additional training "to handle unpredictable environments and the stress of deployments" — giving them what she called the elite title of Crisis Response Dog.
Their handlers undergo critical incident stress management training and psychological first aid courses so that they can "appropriately interact with individuals experiencing intense emotions after experiencing tragic events," she added.
Blair stressed that the dogs who respond to these crises have gone through testing and training, and are "not just your Fido at home." And she said their human handlers don't always realize how traumatic their visits can be.
While different teams have different personalities and comfort levels, she said, their handlers try to remind survivors that they're not alone and that even people who don't know them care about them.
Bonnie Fear, the LCC K-9 crisis response coordinator, told Good Morning America that the crisis response teams are met with a lot of shock, tears and distress in the days after a mass shooting, and that people are not yet ready to process or answer questions.
"We listen if they talk," she added. "We're silent. We let the dogs connect with people and they can express their feelings at that time and we're not counselors, so we are just present, standing with them in their sorrow."
Comfort dogs make a big impact in many communities
Blair said the Canines 4 Christ volunteers visited the scene of the Uvalde shooting, where they steered clear of crime scene tape but gave law enforcement officers a short break and chance to get some love from the dogs.
She said "there were some tears" when dogs comforted staff at a local hospital. They also went to the civic center to meet with families, including children who were inside the elementary school during the shooting.
Blair said she heard from a child who said something along the lines of, "It's a really good thing y'all brought all these dogs, because kids like me who were in the school, these dogs make us happy."
"That little kid has got some big trauma that he's going to have to work through, and his whole family's going to have to work through for a very long time," Blair said. "If we can play a part in any bit of the healing process, we're happy to do so."
Tim Hetzner, LCC's president and CEO, told GMA about a powerful experience he witnessed in the immediate aftermath of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
He was at a community center with his dog, Howe, when a couple arrived with their young son.
"Howe looked up at the boy, got up, walked over to the boy, rolled into his legs and the boy came down on top of him. They just laid there," he recalled. "After about 10 minutes, the boy lifted up Howe's ear and told him everything that happened in that classroom. Parents started crying because it was the first time the boy had talked in four days. First time and it was a dog."
He said the group's K-9 unit has expanded from four dogs in 2008 to more than 130 dogs in 27 states, and has seen a marked increase in comfort dog requests in the last two years.
Notably, more than a dozen therapy dogs from different groups went back to school with students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., after the 2018 mass shooting there.
They became a fixture on campus, so much so that their names and official portraits made it into the yearbook.

The President of the Federated States of Micronesia says he has serious concerns about the details of two leaked Chinese government documents to be tabled at a meeting next week.
President David Panuelo warns the sovereignty of the Pacific Island countries is at stake, and that the outcome of one of the documents could result in a cold war or even a world war.
Panuelo has written to 18 Pacific leaders — including New Zealand, Australia, and the Secretary-General of the Pacific Islands Forum — specifically about the China-Pacific Island Countries Common Development Vision.
- READ MORE: President David Panuelo’s letter to Pacific leaders
- Read the Chinese action plan
- Blinken lays out US strategy to counter China as rivalry grows
- Pacific media freedom threatened on by China
The other document is a five-year plan to implement the outcomes into action.
In his letter he said the Common Development Vision and Monday’s meeting was a “smokescreen” for a larger agenda, and further warned that China was looking to exert more control over Pacific nations’ sovereignty and that this document threatened to bring at the very least a new Cold War era but in the worst-case scenario, a world war.
He has urged leaders in the region to look at it carefully before making any decisions.
In particular, Panuelo noted that the Vision sought to “fundamentally alter what used to be bilateral relations with China into multilateral issues”.
Ensuring ‘Chinese control’
The Vision he added sought to “… ensure Chinese control of ‘traditional and non-traditional security” of our islands, including through law enforcement training, supplying, and joint enforcement efforts, which can be used for the protection of Chinese assets and citizens.
It suggests “cooperation on network and governance” and “cybersecurity” and “equal emphasis on development and security”, and that there shall be “economic development and protection of national security and public interests”.
“The Common Development Vision seeks to ensure Chinese influence in government through ‘collaborative’ policy planning and political exchanges, including diplomatic training, in addition to an increase in Chinese media relationships in the Pacific …,” he said.
“The Common Development Vision seeks Chinese control and ownership of our communications infrastructure, as well as customs and quarantine infrastructure …. for the purpose of biodata collection and mass surveillance of those residing in, entering, and leaving our islands, ostensibly to occur in part through cybersecurity partnership.”
The Vision he said “… seeks Chinese control of our collective fisheries and extractive resource sectors, including free trade agreements, marine spatial planning, deep-sea mining, and extensive public and private sector loan-taking through the Belt and Road Initiative via the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.”
Panuelo said the proposed China-Pacific leaders meeting on Monday in Fiji was intended to “shift those of us with diplomatic relations with China very closely into Beijing’s orbit, intrinsically tying the whole of our countries and societies to them.
“The practical impacts, however, of Chinese control over our communications infrastructure, our ocean territory and the resources within them, and our security space, aside from impacts on our sovereignty is that it increases the chances of China getting into conflict with Australia, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand, on the day when Beijing decides to invade Taiwan.
China’s goal – ‘take Taiwan’
“To be clear, that’s China’s goal: to take Taiwan. Peacefully, if possible; through war, if necessary.”
Panuelo said the FSM would attend Monday’s meeting and would reject both documents “on the premise that we believe the proposed agreement needlessly heightens geopolitical tensions, and that the agreement threatens regional stability and security, including both my country’s Great Friendship with China and my country’s Enduring Partnership with the United States.”
He said the Vision and meeting were a “smokescreen for a larger agenda”.
“Despite our ceaseless and accurate howls that Climate Change represents the single-most existential security threat to our islands, the Common Development Vision threatens to bring a new Cold war era at best, and a World War at worst.”
He said the only way to maintain the relationship with Beijing was to focus exclusively on economic and technical cooperation.
Panuelo hoped that by alerting his Pacific colleagues of developments that “… we can collectively take the steps necessary to prevent any intensified conflict, and possible breakout of war, from ever happening in the first place”.
“I believe that Australia needs to take climate change more seriously and urgently. I believe that the United States should have a diplomatic presence in all sovereign Pacific Islands Countries, and step-up its assistance to all islands, to include its own states and territories in the Pacific.”
Not a justification
Panuelo summed up: “However, it is my view that the shortcomings of our allies are not a justification for condemning the leaders who succeed us in having to accept a war that we failed to recognise was coming and failed to prevent from occurring.
“We can only reassert the rightful focus on climate change as our region’s most existential threat by taking every single possible action to promote peace and harmony across our Blue Pacific Continent.”
Panuelo said his cabinet has suggested the FSM resist the objectives of the documents and the nation maintain its own bilateral agenda for development and engagement with China.
He also said the documents would open up Pacific countries to having phone calls and emails intercepted and overheard.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi is currently visiting several Pacific countries.

It was forgettable sex.
A 66-year-old Irish man was rushed to a hospital with short-term amnesia after an afternoon romp with his wife.
The unusual incident was analyzed in the Irish Medical Journal’s May issue, published Wednesday, with doctors declaring that sex is a trigger for short-term amnesia — officially as known as Transient Global Amnesia (TGA).
The Mayo Clinic defines TGA as a “sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can’t be attributed to a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or stroke.”
In the case of the Irish man, the medical journal reports that he lost his short-term memory “within 10 minutes of sexual intercourse.”
After the sex romp, the man noticed the date on his phone and “became distressed that he had forgotten his wedding anniversary the day before.”
However, the man had actually celebrated the special occasion the previous evening — but had absolutely no recollection of it.
“He repetitively questioned his wife and daughter over the events of that morning and the previous day,” according to the journal.
The rare condition usually affects those between the ages 50 and 70, with their ability to recall recent events “simply vanishing.” Some people who experience TGA may fail to remember things that happened up to a year prior. Sufferers usually regain their memory within a few hours.
In this case, the affected man’s long-term memory remained intact, and he was able to state his name, age and other basic biographical details.
The man had previously experienced TGA back in 2015, with that episode also occurring shortly after sexual intercourse. He later regained his short-term memory.
Recognizing he was likely suffering from another TGA episode, the man went to a local emergency room, where a neurological examination returned “completely normal.” His memory again returned a short time later.
The authors of the Irish Medical Journal article — who work in the Department of Neurology at University Hospital Limerick — said that up to 10% of people who suffer TGA will suffer a subsequent episode.
The authors additionally assert that “precipitation of TGA has been linked with several activities including physical activity, immersion in cold or hot water, emotional stress, pain… and sexual intercourse.”
Although the incidents are scary for sufferers and their loved ones, TGA is not considered serious.
Speaking back in 2009, one expert said of TGA: “It’s not enough of a stimulus or deprivation that it permanently injures the brain. The brain recovers. There should be no deficit other than memory and it should be brief.” | https://nypost.com/2022/05/26/distressed-man-suffers-amnesia-after-sex-with-wife/ | 2022-05-27T00:39:41Z | https://nypost.com/2022/05/26/distressed-man-suffers-amnesia-after-sex-with-wife/ | false | 1 |

Bright Spot: 5-year-old T-ball player’s walk-up dance goes viral
(WFSB) - A five-year-old little league player is gaining a lot of traction around the world, not for his batting average, but for his adorable “walk-up” dance to home plate.
If confidence is key in baseball, then this little guy has a bright future.
Ben Sadlowski plays T-Ball for the Manteca Cubs and his mom’s video of his entrance up at bat has received more than four million views.
Mom, Monica says the season ending show was no surprise. “Every last game, we do a walk out song for each player. [I] wasn’t expecting him to do all that, but it’s not uncommon for him. That’s his own thing. He’s just a goofy guy.”
But where did Ben learn those moves? “I’m kind of goofy myself,” says Monica. “He might have picked it up from me. It definitely was not his father. I can tell you that.\,” she laughs.
And it wasn’t just Ben’s boogie that was a hit. His performance became even more impressive after he hit a single to left field.
While there’s no score keeping in T-Ball, Monica says the comments she has received on social media only prove that Ben’s brilliant show made millions of people feel like a winner. “Everybody is just like ‘man, I was having a really bad day and that just made my day so much better,’ and I’m like, that’s awesome.”

Rajasthan minister asks CM Gehlot to relieve him from ‘dishonourable’ post. Here's why
Rajasthan sports minister Ashok Chandna on Thursday expressed anguish over alleged interference in his departments by chief minister Ashok Gehlot's principal secretary Kuldeep Ranka. Chandna urged Gehlot to remove him from the “dishonourable” ministerial post and hand over the charge of all his departments to Kuldeep Ranka, whom he called “minister of all the departments”.
"I request the honourable chief minister to relieve me of this dishonourable ministerial post and give the charge of all my departments to Shri Kuldeep Ranka ji. He is anyway the minister of all the departments," Chandna tweeted in Hindi, without giving details of the friction point between the two.
BJP leaders immediately latched onto Chandna's tweet to target the Gehlot government.
"The ship is sinking…The trends for 2023 begin to arrive," BJP state president Satish Poonia tweeted.
"This is an example of the 'governance' of the Ashok Gehlot government. It shows the weakness of the party high command. It also shows the influence of bureaucracy on the government," PTI quoted Poonia as saying.
"This has a pattern. Earlier, Ganesh Ghoghra sent resignation and now Chandna has offered the resignation. This impacts governance," he added.

BJP MLA Vasudev Devnani said the ministers and MLAs do not have confidence in the current government.
"The minister is demanding freedom from this corrupt government. If this is the condition of the ministers in the government, then what would be the condition of the public," he said.
The development indicating resentment within the party comes just days ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections in the state. Last week, Congress leader Ganesh Ghogra resigned as an MLA from Dungarpur after a case was registered against him for creating a ruckus.
In his resignation letter, Ghogra alleged that despite being a ruling party MLA and the Youth Congress' state unit chief, his voice was being suppressed by local administration and officers.

POCATELLO — The Southwick Black Belt Academy in Pocatello is set to open its second location at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Southwick was first established in the 1990s. Its current head instructor, Master Jessica Carson, took over about a year and a half ago. She is one of the few female Taekwondo masters in the U.S. and will be inducted into the International Martial Arts Council Hall of Fame in June.
Tanya Fitzwilliams, program director at Southwick, explained that the academy teaches many different styles of martial arts, including Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Korean Sword and grappling. She also explained that students of all ages are welcome. Southwick offers an Amazing Little Dragons program for 3- to 6-year-old children. Other students are much older.
"We have 3-year-olds and 70-year-olds," she said.
Southwick also welcomes students with different abilities. Fitzwilliams explained that the academy has taught students in wheelchairs or other types of physical or mental disabilities.
"There's no such thing as 'can't' for Master Carson," she said. "She only focuses on what you can do."
Southwick has grown to around 170 students, which led to the need for the second location. The ribbon cutting will be carried out by the Chamber Chiefs. Refreshments will be provided. An open house will be held at the new location on June 18.
"There we'll focus more on demonstrations and weapons work," Fitzwilliams said. "We'll also offer free introductory lessons. All ages are welcome."
The new location is at 440 E. Clark St., Suite C.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur top-scored with a blistering 51-ball 71 as Supernovas posted 150 for five in their match against Velocity in the Women's T20 Challenge in Pune on Tuesday. Velocity opted to bowl after winning the toss and their bowlers appeared to have done a decent job before Harmanpreet's onslaught. India's T20 captain Harmanpreet smashed seven fours and three sixes during her scintillating knock that left the Velocity bowers bruised and battered.
Taniya Bhatia chipped in with a useful knock of 36 off 32 balls.
Bhatia, who is now a part of the Indian women's senior team, struck three boundaries during her stay in the middle.
The duo of Harmanpreet Kaur and Bhatia added invaluable 82 runs for the fourth wicket after their team was reeling at 18 for three in the fourth over.
Down the order, Sune Luss contributed an unbeaten 20 in 14 balls, hitting three fours in her breezy knock.
Among the Velocity bowlers, Kate Cross was the most successful with impressive figures of 2/24 in her quota of four overs, while Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav picked up a wicket apiece, the latter accounting for the important scalp of Harmanpreet.
Supernovas still managed to score a decent total in the end and Velocity will have to bat extremely well to reach the target at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

A trifle more challenging than it looks: It beat more than 5,000 entries to win the Platinum Jubilee Pudding contest, but could royal expert (and very novice chef) ROBERT HARDMAN whip up ‘sunshine in a bowl’?
- Robert Hardman makes a five-storey trifle, the official Platinum Jubilee Pudding
- Author of Queen Of Our Times, he is just the person to make Her Majesty's treat
- The pudding’s original name is ‘Jemma’s Lemon Swiss Roll and Amaretti Trifle’, the invention of 31-year-old amateur baker, Jemma Melvin, from Southport
- Latest Platinum Jubilee news as the Queen celebrates 70 years of service
There is no question that it looks regal. From the official picture, it resembles a beige version of the Imperial State Crown — sumptuous, hefty, richly bejewelled and very grand.
And having triumphed in a hard-fought competition under the watchful eye of the Queen’s personal chef, her favourite shop and the Royal Household, it has the royal seal of approval.
But how on earth am I going to make what is now, officially, the Platinum Jubilee Pudding?
It’s a colossal five-storey trifle which serves 20, assuming you get past multiple challenges including making your own jelly, lemon curd, custard, amaretti biscuits, Swiss rolls and something called ‘jewelled chocolate bark’.
My baking repertoire, hitherto, consists of one approximately edible single-storey sponge cake.
However, the Mail has decided that, having just written Her Majesty’s biography, Queen Of Our Times, I am just the person to have a go at making Her Majesty’s pudding. All I can say is that the intricacies of the Abdication crisis or the Heath-era Civil List reforms are a doddle compared to making the ‘chunky mandarin coulis’ that sits in the middle of this calorie-packed fridge-hogger.
Robert Hardman (pictured) makes the official Platinum Jubilee Pudding, a five-storey trifle which serves 20, which requires jelly, lemon curd, custard, amaretti biscuits, Swiss rolls and 'jewelled chocolate bark'
The pudding’s original name is ‘Jemma’s Lemon Swiss Roll and Amaretti Trifle’ — the invention of 31-year-old amateur baker, Jemma Melvin, from Southport, Merseyside who was taught to bake by her grandmother.
It was chosen from more than 5,000 entries all vying for the same sort of culinary immortality as Constance Spry’s Coronation Chicken, that eternal summer stalwart devised in 1953.
This time, the Palace wanted a pudding. The judging took place at Fortnum & Mason, the royal grocers-cum-tearooms on London’s Piccadilly.
The task of sifting through all 5,000 submissions fell to head chef Roger Pizey and his staff, whittling it down to a shortlist of 150. At which point the Queen’s chef, Mark Flanagan, and the Household team made the final selection.
Before embarking on my mighty challenge, I drop in for some advice. Roger tells me they went through every single entry on paper, grading them on ingredients, cooking methods, seasonality and impact. ‘It had to be a great summer dish,’ explains Roger, himself an award-winning pastry chef. ‘And the winner was unanimous. It’s sunshine in a bowl.’
The pudding’s original name is ‘Jemma’s Lemon Swiss Roll and Amaretti Trifle’ — the invention of 31-year-old amateur baker, Jemma Melvin, from Southport, Merseyside who was taught to bake by her grandmother
Fortnum is currently doing a roaring trade in portions of the pudding in its restaurants so I take the opportunity to sample the end product. It’s the perfect sweet, mushy melange of gluttony which a trifle should be, with a citrus tang and a bit of crunch, too.
Back home, I feel like a first-time marathon runner on the start line. I download the recipe card which says: ‘Prep time: over 2 hours. Cook time: 35 minutes.’ I know it’s going to take all day, especially when I spend 20 minutes in the supermarket merely looking for something called arrowroot (top tip to fellow idiots: it’s not in the fruit and veg section). Roger says you can split the exercise into two parts.
The recipe card breaks it down into ten stages. But Jemma helpfully notes that you can ‘simplify’ things (i.e. cheat) by buying one or two components ready-made.
Fortnum has a section selling the lemon curd and the amaretti biscuits, shaving a few hours off. You can also buy your own custard.
But there’s no dodging the bulk of these instructions. To compound the challenge, you need a trifle dish which can hold 3.5 litres. Ours is two thirds that size. I decide to make one grand pudding plus a smaller reserve version on the side just in case I make a complete hash of the main show.
I start by whipping up eggs, sugar and flour to make my Swiss rolls — two flat sponge rectangles which will later be rolled up full of lemon curd. Mine don’t fill the baking tray and emerge like cowpats. No time to fret. I must get on with the ‘St Clement’s Jelly’.
This involves squeezing three oranges and four lemons into the gelatine mix and letting it chill — but not set. While that’s happening, I get cracking on the mandarin coulis. This involves slowly cooking mandarin segments and sugar along with the elusive arrowroot. Then I realise my blunder. The recipe demands four cans of mandarin segments but I have bought the wrong size. I am missing half the requisite chunks and it’s too late for another shop. What to do? Brainwave. This is a pudding not just for the Queen but for the Head of the Commonwealth. In the larder, I find a long-forgotten tin of pineapple chunks, and so I tip the whole lot in the mix.
Now it’s Swiss roll time. I unroll my cowpats and smother them with lemon curd before rolling them up again. The recipe says to cut them into slices and arrange them upright round the base of the bowl, using the rest to fill the middle. They look vaguely roll-like, though the Swiss might complain.Then comes the jelly. Roger Pizey’s top tip is to ensure the jelly is not too liquid or else it will swamp the sponge layer. Oops. When I pour it in, the rolls start floating.
‘That looks simply disgusting,’ my wife observes during a quick dash into the kitchen.
I start by whipping up eggs, sugar and flour to make my Swiss rolls — two flat sponge rectangles which will later be rolled up full of lemon curd. Mine don’t fill the baking tray and emerge like cowpats. No time to fret. I must get on with the ‘St Clement’s Jelly’
It’s time to stick the whole lot in the fridge to set while I get cracking on the ‘jewelled chocolate bark’. You are supposed to melt two bars of white chocolate and tip it all out over a baking tray and sprinkle with mixed fruit peel. In my case, the chocolate comes out gloopy and I have to flatten it on to the tray first.
At least, Part One is done. I leave the whole lot to set and tackle the mountain of washing up.
Several hours later, I return to assemble the pudding. The big bowl emerges from the fridge looking as unappetising as before. But it brightens up when I pour on the layer of custard.
Next come the amaretti biscuits. Easy enough. It’s now time for the mandarin coulis which certainly adds colour, although I would not go quite as far as Roger’s promise of ‘sunshine in a bowl’.
One more layer to come. I have to whip up a pint and a half of double cream. I turn up the dial on the mixer, leave it too long and seriously overdo the whipping. The cream ends up like thick butter. You are supposed to ‘spoon’ it smoothly over the top. This is more of a ‘splatter’.
The Official Jubilee Pudding was inspired by by a treat served at Princess Elizabeth's 1947 wedding
Last of all come the crown jewels in the form of the ‘chocolate bark’.
‘Break into shards’, say the instructions. Except my chocolate does not form shards. Or break. It’s a gluey, floppy mess. I tear off a few pieces and try to get them to stand on top but they droop. Chocolate fungi rather than ‘bark’.
My plan is to serve this thing at the weekend but I plunge a furtive spoon in at the edge for a taste. My verdict: OK, it is a bit sloppy in every sense but perfectly edible.
At which point my youngest returns home from school. I await an honest, objective opinion.
‘What the hell’s that?’ is his first reaction. ‘I hope you don’t expect me to touch it. Because I won’t.’
Happy Jubilee, Ma’am. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10859119/ROBERT-HARDMAN-whips-trifle-beat-5-000-entries-win-Platinum-Jubilee-Pudding-Contest.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-05-27T00:54:49Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10859119/ROBERT-HARDMAN-whips-trifle-beat-5-000-entries-win-Platinum-Jubilee-Pudding-Contest.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |

After virtually disappearing for two years, influenza cases are back and rapidly sweeping across the world.
So far this year, there have been more than 15,000 flu cases in New South Wales alone, of which more than 12,000 were diagnosed since the start of May.
The Queensland government has announced free flu vaccinations and NSW is considering doing the same. Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid has urged the incoming federal government to provide free flu shots for all Australians.
Meanwhile, COVID cases continue to mount as colder weather sets in.
The good news is, we know the influenza vaccine can protect against influenza cases – and a growing body of international research suggests the flu jab might also protect against COVID.
A recent study of 30,774 healthcare workers in Qatar found influenza vaccine could guard against COVID, particularly severe illness.
These promising results have implications not only for COVID, but also for future pandemics caused by newly emergent germs. However, there are some reasons for caution.
New influenza cases
The Qatar study, released online this month and yet to be independently verified, used data from more than 12,000 healthcare workers who had a COVID test during the 2020 flu season.
The researchers compared influenza vaccination rates between the 576 healthcare workers who got COVID, and a similar group of 2,000 healthcare workers who had tested negative to COVID in the last three months of 2020.
Those who had an influenza vaccination at least two weeks before COVID testing were 30% less likely to have a positive COVID test and almost 90% less likely to develop severe or critical COVID, compared with those who hadn’t been recently vaccinated against flu.
This finding is consistent with similar retrospective studies from Brazil, Italy, Iran, the Netherlands and the United States, which have also shown protective effects of influenza vaccination against COVID.
Common to studies of people who work in the health field, there is the risk people in the study are health-conscious. It’s likely they are more inclined to follow COVID protection advice such as adhering to lockdowns, physical isolation and mask wearing. They are also more likely to get their influenza vaccination. This potential bias is reduced in the Qatar study by focusing only on healthcare workers, however it can’t be ruled out as contributing to the findings.
There are two further considerations to the implications of this study. First, the healthcare workers included in the study were young and not assessed to see if they had other health conditions. This means the effects seen in the study may not hold true for older people and those with other health issues – both of whom are at greater risk of severe COVID.
Second, the study used data collected before COVID vaccines and before COVID variants such as Omicron. This means the impact of the findings in the current global circumstances are unclear.
In the study, the average time for COVID testing after flu vaccination was six weeks. With the study using data only during a three-month period, it is unclear whether this protective effect of the flu vaccine against COVID might last beyond a few months.
Beneficial ‘off-target’ effects of influenza vaccination
In the early months of the pandemic – while COVID vaccines were still in development – researchers were intensely interested in the possibility existing vaccines might provide some protection against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID).
This is because of emerging evidence some vaccines can have additional beneficial effects, greater than just protecting against the infection they were originally designed for.
This bonus protection has mostly been linked to live-attenuated vaccines, made from a weakened forms of the germ or a related germ. For example, both the 100-year-old tuberculosis vaccine called Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and measles vaccines have been shown to reduce infant deaths from any cause.
This protection is thought to be because these vaccines can kick-start the immune system so it protects the body more effectively from infectious diseases.
To understand more about the bonus protection of routine vaccines like these against COVID, multiple randomized controlled trials are under way.
One multinational clinical trial, called the BRACE trial, has enrolled almost 7,000 healthcare workers to determine whether BCG vaccine reduces the incidence of symptomatic and severe COVID. So far, we have found BCG vaccination changes the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in a way that could reduce severe COVID illness.
However, this trial is ongoing and we need to wait for the final results to determine whether this immune response translates into real-world protection against COVID.
Decreasing COVID’s inflammatory response?
For influenza vaccines, one plausible explanation for their protective effect against COVID is that influenza vaccination reduces the risk of having influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infection at the same time.
Co-infection with flu and COVID is associated with more severe disease. Prevention of this could reduce the severity of COVID. However, due to exceptionally low influenza rates in Qatar during the 2020 flu season, this is unlikely to explain the recent findings.
Like the BCG vaccine, influenza vaccines might decrease potentially harmful inflammatory immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Severe COVID has been linked to overactive inflammatory responses which can cause damage to tissues and result in severe symptoms. By reducing inflammation these routine vaccines might prevent related tissue damage.
Future protection
These promising results emerge as we grapple with growing COVID cases and the pandemic rolls on.
More research is needed to confirm what researchers are beginning to report. But the potential for existing vaccines, such as the flu jab and BCG, to provide protection against COVID gives rise to the possibility they could also help to protect against future pandemics.
However exciting these new results are, the best evidence remains that influenza vaccination protects us from the flu and COVID vaccination and boosters protect against COVID and severe illness.

The stock market doesn’t look as rosy as it did six months ago. In fact, it’s been in a dip or correction, depending on if you’re looking at the Canadian or U.S. stock market. When will the market downturn be over?
To begin to understand which direction the stock market may take over the next months, investors should observe what happened in the last little while. The recession during the pandemic wasn’t so bad. One could say that the economy recovered at lightning speed. There are reasons for the economic recovery and stock market rally that happened before the current dip.
During the pandemic, governments around the world continued to pump money into the economy, aiming to put cash into the hands of people and businesses that were abruptly impacted by economic shutdowns due to the unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic. This led to an earnings decline (across the economy) that wasn’t as bad as anticipated. Government aid also helped support consumer spending during a highly uncertain time. This eventually led to a relieving stock market rally after a flash market crash during the pandemic.
The U.S. stock market traded as high as a normal price-to-earnings ratio of about 23 at the end of 2021, whereas its long-term normal valuation is closer to 18 times earnings. Some investors would argue that the high multiple was reasonable given the exceptional rebound of earnings (a growth rate of 49%) of the U.S. stock market (using S&P 500 as a proxy) in 2021.
However, it didn’t stop the valuation contraction that’s happening now, as the growth rate is estimated to slow to about 5% over the next two years. Partly, the slower growth rate has to do with the waning pandemic government programs that are no longer needed. And partly, it has to do with liquidity tightening post-pandemic. Additionally, there are also other factors like the Russia invasion into Ukraine, higher prices in energy and raw material, rising interest rates, and global supply chain issues.
The U.S. stock market trades at about 19 times earnings today. If it retreats to its long-term normal valuation, it’d be another drop of about 7% or so. However, sometimes the market overshoots to the downside, which could lead to a multiple of about 15 times earnings. If that happens, it’ll be a decline of 21% or so from current levels.
The Canadian economy has close ties with the U.S. economy, which is why when the U.S. goes into a recession or experiences a market downturn, we will experience something similar here up north as well. So, while the U.S. stock market is in correction mode, even though it’s not nearly as bad for the Canadian stock market, I would remain cautious on the Canadian stock market.
The Foolish investor takeaway
While investors will surely try to guess the bottom of the current market downturn, it’s important to focus on the long run. Long-term stock market returns have outperformed other asset classes and that’s not going to change as long as you’re buying quality businesses at reasonably valuations. Of course, since the market could still have some ways to fall, there could be increased opportunities to buy at a greater discount, which is most welcome.
Investors should continue buying over the next months as long as the market continues to provide attractive opportunities. That said, if you find yourself short on cash all the time, you might want to be more frugal with your cash and keep more dry powder on hand. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/05/26/stock-market-outlook-should-investors-buy-now-or-wait/ | 2022-05-27T00:59:05Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/05/26/stock-market-outlook-should-investors-buy-now-or-wait/ | false | 1 |
Wall Street surged on Thursday in a broad rally as a raft of solid retail earnings and soft economic data eased lingering concerns that the Federal Reserve's aggressive policy tightening would extend beyond expectations.
All three major U.S. stock indexes were sharply higher, with economically sensitive consumer discretionary and microchip stocks beating the broader market.
On a weekly basis, the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow are on track to snap their longest losing streaks in decades, and at current levels are poised to notch their biggest weekly gains since mid-March.
"We're having a good rally," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "What happens today probably sets the stage for the indexes snapping a streak of weekly negativity."
Upbeat guidance from retailers appeared to offset dour warnings from their peers in recent weeks.
Department store operator Macy's Inc jumped 19.1% after raising its annual profit forecast.
Discount chains Dollar General Corp and Dollar Tree advanced by 14.4% and 20.4%, respectively, following their annual sales forecast hikes, suggesting consumers are shopping for less costly goods amid decades-high inflation.
The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) most recent monetary policy meeting calmed fears that the U.S. central bank could turn more hawkish, a concern which has fed into market volatility in recent weeks.
"The market agrees that we’re seeing an aggressive Fed, but not an ultra-aggressive Fed at this time," Cardillo said.
"Structural inflation has peaked, but transitory? Probably not," Cardillo added. "That would be a key for the Fed, and that could happen."
"The Fed turning dovish in the fall is a good possibility."
Economic data released on Thursday, including jobless claims, pending home sales and GDP, brought good news wrapped in bad, suggesting the economy is showing just enough softness to prompt a dovish pivot from the Fed by autumn.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 572.54 points, or 1.78%, to 32,692.82; the S&P 500 gained 85.54 points, or 2.15%, to 4,064.27; and the Nasdaq Composite added 328.13 points, or 2.87%, to 11,762.87.
All 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 were up, with consumer discretionary stocks leading in percentage gains, surging by 5.1%.
Shares of Twitter Inc jumped 5.5% on news that the social media company is suing billionaire Elon Musk for delayed disclosure of his stake in the company.
U.S.-listed shares of Alibaba Group rose 14.9% after the Chinese e-commerce company beat estimates, even as it declined to provide forward guidance in view of COVID-19 restrictions in China.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 6.23-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 3.59-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted three new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 24 new highs and 93 new lows.

CRE8IV works to avoid politics, bring 'museum quality' murals to Rockford region
ROCKFORD — The CRE8IV mural festival will return this summer with 12 murals in 10 locations in Rockford, Loves Park and Roscoe.
Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau CEO John Groh said the program is meant to deliver "transformational art" with a positive, up-lifting message of hope, inclusivity and a bright future.
Groh said although some believe art should challenge preconceptions, artists who want to participate in CRE8IV agree to avoid politics, sex and controversy to be part of the project. Some Rockford aldermen have raised concerns about the potential for an offensive or politicized mural to be created.
"We have guiding principles for the program," Groh said. "We are working to transform public spaces that could be vibrant places where people want to gather. We are not looking to make political statements or social statements. We are looking to create beautiful murals that are museum quality on big walls — to really turn the community into an outdoor gallery."

This year's $200,000 program starts June 1 and is being paid for through corporate, business and municipal sponsorships. It is the third time the Visitors Bureau has organized the the mural festival in an effort to make the region a more inviting place to live in and visit.
The 2022 program is the third round of CRE8IV murals since 2018 and will bring the total number of murals it has commissioned up to 36 from 24.
Groh made the announcement during a news conference on Thursday outside Comprehensive Community Solutions, 917 S. Main St., where murals will be painted on two sections of a walls.
He said artists were chosen for the program were chosen from a pool of more than 90 applicants. A committee of sponsors, neighborhood representatives and residents reviewed the artists' experience and concepts to decide which of them got the contracts.

LEONARDTOWN, Md. – For a number of years, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office has provided School Resource Officers at the three public high schools and in 2019 officers were added to the four public middle schools in St. Mary’s County.
In addition, the Sheriff’s Office’s Adopt-a-School program provides for deputies to “adopt” a particular elementary school to patrol and partner with.
In addition to those ongoing partnerships with St. Mary’s County Public Schools, effective immediately, more Sheriff’s Office deputies will be further checking on public elementary schools and private schools through the Safe to Learn initiative.
These additional deputies will be uniformed, checking in with school staff, checking the perimeters of school properties, ensuring that exterior doors to schools are secured and reporting anything unusual to school administrators.
“The safety of students and children in St. Mary’s County continues to be my priority,” Sheriff Tim Cameron said. “I want both students and their parents to know that we are working together to make the school communities a safe and secure environment through the efforts of the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office and St. Mary’s County Public Schools,” the Sheriff said.
The school year is winding down as classes conclude in June.
“We continue to coordinate efforts with the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office for increased patrols at our schools and to maintain open lines of communication to address any issues that impact the safety of our school communities,” a May 25 letter from Schools Superintendent J. Scott Smith said. “One of the most important things we can do is to share information.”
Through the If You See Something, Say Something initiative, information can be shared at www.smcps.org.
The Sheriff’s Office can be contacted at 301-475-8008. For emergencies, call 911. | https://thebaynet.com/st-marys-county-sheriffs-office-increases-patrol-checks-at-schools/ | 2022-05-27T01:07:55Z | https://thebaynet.com/st-marys-county-sheriffs-office-increases-patrol-checks-at-schools/ | true | 3 |
Alan White, Longtime Drummer for Yes, John Lennon, Dead at 72
Alan White, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer who performed with the progressive rock band Yes, died on Thursday. He was 72. White also performed with John Lennon on the Imagine album and was a member of the Plastic Ono Band.
White died after a short illness, Yes announced on their website. He was preparing to join the band for their upcoming U.K. tour and to mark his 50th anniversary with the band. They plan to dedicate their 50th Anniversary Close to the Edge U.K. Tour in June to White.
White was born on June 14, 1949, in Pelton, England. He drummed with several local bands until he got the call that changed his life. In 1969, Lennon invited White to join him, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, and Klaus Voormann for the Toronto Rock and Roll Festival that September. White was shocked and accepted the invitation. The concert was recorded and released as Live Peace in Toronto 1969.
Lennon continued working with White on Imagine and the "Instant Karma!" single. He drummed on "Imagine," "Jealous Guy" and "How Do You Sleep." He also worked with George Harrison on his first solo album, All Things Must Pass. White worked with other artists on The Beatles' Apple Records label, including Billy Preston and Doris Troy.
In a 2019 Rolling Stone interview, White said he knew instantly that "Imagine" would be a classic song. "When we did the backing track, I'm not sure how many takes we did. I think in the [Imagine] book they said nine, but I thought it was only four or five," White recalled. "They were all magical, but I remember the take that was actually used on the album. I remember that was very special. We all looked around and said, 'That was it. That's perfect.' There was a lot of feeling in the room that it was a bit magical."
His association with Lennon led to more session work and he joined Ginger Baker's Air Force, featuring Cream drummer Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood. In 1972, White joined Yes for the tour to support Close to the Edge after Bill Bruford left the band. White received offers from other acts after the 1972-1973 tour ended, but he chose to remain with Yes.
The drummer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017. After bassist Chris Squire died, White was the longest-tenured member of Yes. White was plagued with health issues in recent years. His time on stage with the band was limited with Jay Schellen often filling in.
White lived near Seattle with his wife Gigi and their children Jesse and Cassi, all of whom survive him. White and Gigi celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on May 15. | https://popculture.com/music/news/alan-white-longtime-drummer-yes-john-lennon-dead-72/ | 2022-05-27T01:09:27Z | https://popculture.com/music/news/alan-white-longtime-drummer-yes-john-lennon-dead-72/ | true | 1 |

The lawsuit alleges that Sunbeam Products, Inc., the manufacturer of Crock-Pot Express pressure cookers, has misrepresented the "safety measures" of its pressure cookers.

Texas authorities say the gunman who massacred 21 people at an elementary school was in the building for over an hour before he was killed by law enforcement officers.
The amount of time that elapsed has stirred anger and questions among family members, who demanded to know why authorities did not storm the place and put a stop to the rampage more quickly. Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Travis Considine said 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered Robb Elementary School and began his rampage at 11:40 a.m. on Tuesday.
A Border Patrol tactical unit began trying to get inside the building an hour later, and at 12:58 p.m., radio chatter noted he was dead.
What happened in those 90 minutes has fueled mounting public anger and scrutiny over police officers' response to Tuesday’s rampage. On Thursday, authorities largely ignored questions about why officers had not been able to stop the shooter sooner.
Victor Escalon, the regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, told reporters he had “taken all those questions into consideration” and would offer updates later. | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/police-say-texas-elementary-school-gunman-was-inside-the-school-for-over-an-hour | 2022-05-27T01:18:15Z | https://www.koaa.com/news/national/police-say-texas-elementary-school-gunman-was-inside-the-school-for-over-an-hour | true | 11 |
ISLAMABAD: Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce (FPCCI) is reportedly supporting some companies that are ‘rent-seekers’ in nature, in the name of proposed additions to the Custom General Order - 2017 (CGO), well informed sources told Business Recorder.
Official documents reveal that the Federal Government’s proposed list contains HS codes of the items that are supposed to be produced in the country and thus their imports are discouraged. The letter proposes addition of a number of industrial inputs to the list.
According to sources, industry, especially the ones from manufacturing sector, has received the proposed additions to CGO with shock and surprise, adding that such an exercise done in silos will create problems for local manufacturers as they import certain items not produced in the country to make complex value added goods that are then used for domestic consumption as well as exported.
“Increasing the cost of inputs will in turn increase the price of final goods for domestic consumption, as well as, in international markets rendering them non-competitive against products from other countries,” the sources maintained.
Local manufacturers, sources said, are already struggling to manage their costs in wake of high utility prices and the general inflationary pressures, and any additional burden will result in making local industry uncompetitive.
Addition to the CGO for certain items is generally warranted by the product being manufactured locally in the quantity and of quality that is required by industry and should be cost competitive to import. Government has to determine if the criterion given above are met.
After that the items are added to CGO. “Government also must see if such items are produced by multiple manufacturers; otherwise, addition to CGO will create monopolies. To ascertain the merits of addition to CGO,” the sources continued.
In this case, local industry has agitated that there has been no consultation on the matter and the items proposed to be added to CGO will potentially hurt their cost structure as there are no local manufacturer in Pakistan for certain items, and for several others only one manufacturer has been identified.
“Such proposal should not be considered any further without consultation with industry to examine merits of the proposal this exercise will come in form of decreased exports, increase in current account deficit and hike in prices for local consumers,” the sources maintained.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — A three-judge panel on Thursday upheld the sentence for a Juarez Catholic priest convicted of sexually abusing an altar girl when she was 8 years old.
The Rev. Aristeo Baca was convicted of two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of aggravated sexual abuse in February 2021.
In early March, the same three-judge panel sentenced Baca to 34 years in prison. He had appealed, but the judges upheld the sentence on Thursday.
The abuse took place inside the Santa Maria de la Montana parish in South Juarez between December 2015 and January 2018, the state Attorney General’s Office said.
The investigation began when the girl’s parents called the police after their daughter refused to go back to the church in early 2019. Police psychologists and medical personnel determined the girl had suffered sexual assault, the AG’s Office said in a statement.
Baca denied the charges, although prosecutors alleged he once asked forgiveness from the girl’s father.
“The evidence presented during the trial shows the accused broke the trust and took advantage of the access he had to the victim,” the AG’s Office said.
Several supporters of Baca showed up outside the courtroom throughout the trial with signs proclaiming he was innocent. However, women’s rights groups such as Red Mesa de Mujeres celebrated his conviction.
The priest has been on house arrest. A judge must determine whether the priest will serve his sentence under house arrest or in a Juarez prison. | https://www.wnct.com/border-report-tour/sentence-upheld-for-juarez-priest-who-sexually-abused-altar-girl/ | 2022-05-27T01:19:55Z | https://www.wnct.com/border-report-tour/sentence-upheld-for-juarez-priest-who-sexually-abused-altar-girl/ | true | 20 |

2021 Named Deadliest Summer on MN Roads in 14 Years
With the summer travel season about to begin, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety is reminding drivers to be safe on state roads and says last summer was the deadliest for travelers since 2007.
According to the DPS, the 100 deadliest days for traffic fatalities is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Although Minnesota summers bring sunshine and fun, it can also bring a higher volume of traffic to Minnesota roadways.
In a recent report, the preliminary data shows the 100-day stretch in 2021 accounted for 34% of traffic deaths. The number of traffic fatalities has steadily increased in the last four years during the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Preliminary number for 2022 already report 124 deaths.
“Your final destination is never guaranteed.” This is an often used anecdote from the Office of Traffic Safety. Data from traffic crashes and casualties shows diver behaviors plays a major role in these results. These behaviors can include, but are not limited to, speeding, distractions, lack of using a seat belt, and drunk driving. The DPS does state that these behaviors are the top contributing factors toward traffic fatalities.
Actions that troopers, deputies, and officers will take to prevent traffic accidents include:
- An increased patrol on seat belt enforcement, starting now through June 5th
- Enforcement on speeding from July 1st through July 31st
- Impaired enforcement driving campaign from August 19th through September 5th
The Department of Public Safety also recommends smart driving tips. They say to speak up against distracted driving, refusing to start driving until every person has buckled their seat belt, slowing down, and designating a sober driver or finding a safe ride home for someone who is impaired.
More information on traffic accidents is on the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s website.

Meghan Markle pays respects to Texas school shooting victims
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made a visit to a memorial site for the victims of the deadly elementary school shooting in Texas.
Meghan placed white flowers tied with a purple ribbon at a memorial outside the Uvalde County Courthouse on Thursday. She paid her respects after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The Duchess of Sussex lives in California with her husband Prince Harry and their two children. She took the trip to Texas in a personal capacity as a mother to offer her condolences and support in person to a “community experiencing unimaginable grief,” according to her spokesperson.
Meghan left the flowers at the memorial site and stood with her arms crossed while she looked at the memorials.

Even before details were known about the shooter who killed 19 children and two school faculty at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, fringe media were awash in rumors, conspiracy theories and misinformation.
Some posts incorrectly identified the shooter, while others posited without evidence that the massacre was a government-orchestrated "false flag" operation.
With the tragic events following closely on the heels of another mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., the online discussions reverted to unfounded narratives and scapegoats that have become all too familiar as the country grapples with the continued toll of gun violence.
"This is the worst case scenario. Without a manifesto and a known motive, the speculation is just going to get worse and worse as to what drove the shooter to do it," said Sara Aniano, an extremism researcher who focuses on the rhetoric of the far right on social media. "But it also provides a really fertile ground for more conspiracy theories to sort of accumulate and spread in the information ecosystem."
Conspiracy theories
Just as happened after the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and the recent Buffalo shooting, conspiracy theorists aired unfounded claims that the tragedy was the result of a government plot.
On Gab and other fringe platforms where the far right gather, many asserted without evidence that it was a "false flag" operation staged by federal authorities to justify tighter control of guns, or to deflect from other news stories.
"Sometimes that manifests as accusations of there being crisis actors, similar to [false accusations like] what we saw post-Sandy Hook," said Aniano, referring to the 2012 shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that killed 20 children and 6 staff.
One of the more obscure narratives that animated some of these unfounded accusations involved a secret project that ended in 1973, called MK-ULTRA. In that program, the CIA sought methods of mind control on human subjects through the use of LSD or psychological torture.
After the shooting in Uvalde, some took to social media with baseless inferences to suggest that the program was somehow accountable for the gunman's violence.
Scapegoats
Among the most dangerous narratives that gained wide circulation within the far right were those that spread incorrect claims about the shooter's identity.
Quickly after the gunman's name was announced, users on 4chan, GETTR, Patriots.win and other fringe platforms labeled him an "illegal alien." In a press conference on the day of the shooting, Texas Governor Greg Abbott identified him as a U.S. citizen.
Users also quickly mislabeled the shooter as transgender – even going so far as to misidentify him with photos of another transgender individual who was completely unconnected to the events.
"[That] false claim... it really had legs, like [it] really spread around in the far right," said Alex Kaplan, a senior researcher at Media Matters. "You had Alex Jones sharing it, you had Andrew Torba [sharing it]. It reached Congressman Paul Gosar."
Gosar, who faced backlash for spreading the false information, later deleted his tweet.
There is no evidence that the shooter was transgender, but even the unfounded claim itself prompted alarm that the claim would ignite further violence against LGBTQ individuals.
"This comes as there has been this... anti LGBTQ campaign to basically claim that... gay people or teachers are 'grooming' children, or that transgender people are targeting children," Kaplan noted.
The individual who was incorrectly identified posted on their Reddit profile page: "It's not me, I don't even live in Texas."
The legacy of Alex Jones
Much of the reaction on the far right to acts of public or mass violence has become a kind of standard playbook, with false flag claims and even a denial that the violence was real.
But researchers note that the far right reaction to the tragedy in Uvalde was different from that which followed the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in one key way. At that time, the conspiracy theories largely originated from one figure: Alex Jones, of the far right media platform Infowars.
Jones recently lost defamation suits tied to his false claim that the massacre was a hoax. He is now filing for bankruptcy.
While Jones did amplify baseless conspiracy theories after the Uvalde shooting, those narratives bubbled up in a much more anonymous, grassroots fashion than they did 10 years ago.
Extremism researchers say this demonstrates the degree to which Jones's fringe thinking has taken root among a certain swath of the public.
"Once those seeds are planted, they can't really be uprooted," Aniano said. "It's been almost 10 years now since Sandy Hook, and look where we're at."

Nine students received diplomas Wednesday as part of the Conover School Class of 2022.
The ceremony was punctuated with laughs and inside jokes among students and teachers.
Conover School Principal Josh Weese reflected on his fondest memories of each student. He said he would always remember graduate A.J. Baker’s “I’m watching you,” greetings, which prompted A.J. to point from his eyes to Weese and smile, making staff members laugh.
“I’ll never forget our fist bumps in the hallway,” Weese said to A.J. “Where no matter how soft I tapped your hand, you acted like I split it open. Which at first freaked me out, because I was convinced I had injured you.”
Weese recalled the time graduate Joshua Correll woke him up at 2 a.m. while playing with his dinosaur toys on a field trip. Weese said he did not find it humorous at the time but smiled as he spoke about the memory.
After Weese’s speech, a video featuring baby photos and silly pictures of each graduate during their time at the school played on big screen TVs in the Newton-Conover City Schools boardroom where the ceremony was held.

As the pictures flashed by the audience would react to the images. Conover School staff members could be heard fondly saying, “Oh, I remember that day.”
When photos of graduate Samantha “Sammi” Scaer popped up on the big screens, she yelled, giggled and started dancing to the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. Staff members laughed and danced along with her.

Schools in the Nelson and Creston areas will not be renamed after people, living or dead, in an effort to reconsider the region’s colonial history.
School District 8 has introduced a policy that puts restrictions on what its facilities can be named, which superintendent Trish Smillie said is a way of re-examining the past.
“As we’re unlearning and relearning history in 2022, it really does cause us to look at other ways of doing things and also it causes us to look at our history differently,” said Smillie.
The board approved the policy for public consultation and is expected to finalize it at its June 21 meeting.
The move comes after Prince Charles Secondary School in Creston was renamed last year. That change was brought on by a local teacher who argued the school’s name did not reflect the community.
The school was renamed Kootenay River School, which was the preferred choice of the Lower Kootenay Band, and was made as an act of reconciliation.
Smillie said the district didn’t previously have policy for the renaming of facilities. The new policy would do away with naming buildings after people, and will only consider a name change to an existing facility if it is offensive to the school population and community.
A geography-based name like Kootenay River School, Smillie said, isn’t likely to be considered problematic in the future.
“Culture changes and shifts over time, and so does perspective. The trend in the province, and what we’re proposing to pass here, is that we start to move towards names that stand the test of time.”
Smillie said none of School District 8’s 21 brick-and-mortar schools are currently being considered for a name change.
The shift away from naming schools after historical figures isn’t unique to School District 8.
The former Ryerson University in Toronto was renamed to Toronto Metropolitan University in April after students protested its namesake Egerton Ryerson, who is considered one of the creators of the residential school system.
School District 8 also released its anti-racism and cultural safety policy at its May 24 board meeting.
The policy, which is also now released for public consultation prior to being finalized in June, is broad and includes 11 items such as commitments to reconciliation and Indigenization.
Smillie said the district previously had language about discrimination in its workplace policies, but nothing specific to anti-racism practice. Once the policy is approved by the board, she said the district will use it to guide more concrete practices.
The policy is also formed by students. Smillie said a student advisory group used their own experiences with racism to develop a toolkit for training staff, while students, staff and school partners were consulted on the policy.
“Ultimately, we’re hoping for this to be some really culture shifting work where people are able to understand what racism is and then identified how to move forward in a way where we’re supporting and honouring all diversity in all of our communities.”

SAN DIEGO, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Biotheryx, Inc., a clinical stage company discovering and developing a portfolio of innovative small molecule targeted protein degraders (TPDs) in areas of high unmet medical need, today announced that its abstract highlighting supportive preclinical data for its lead asset BTX-1188, a potentially first-in-class, dual protein degrader of GSPT1 and IKZF1/3, will be presented in a poster at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting taking place June 3-7, 2022, in Chicago, Illinois and virtually.
"Our distinctive PRODEGY platform is designed to enable the discovery and development of a broad range of targeted protein degrader molecules and BTX-1188 is the first of our pipeline to enter the clinic," said Leah Fung, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Biotheryx. "BTX-1188 is a molecular glue that was rationally designed to degrade GSPT1 and IKZF1/3. The data being presented at ASCO 2022 support the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating BTX-1188 in patients with hematologic and solid tumor cancers and demonstrate what we believe to be our ability to design first-in-class molecular glues with the potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients with cancer and other serious diseases."
"We are leveraging our deep expertise with the modulation of Cereblon, the only clinically and commercially validated E3 ligase, to design innovative targeted protein degraders with the potential to address significant unmet medical need," said Philippe Drouet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Biotheryx. "We look forward to presenting these pre-clinical data from our lead program, BTX-1188, at ASCO 2022."
Key Highlights from BTX-1188 Preclinical Results
- BTX-1188 has shown deep and durable degradation of GSPT1 and IKZF1/3 and inhibition of MYC in several types of hematologic and solid tumor cell lines, including lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer and glioma.
- BTX-1188 has shown inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancement of immune stimulatory cytokines, owing to IKZF1/3 degradation, which may prevent the known systemic inflammatory dose-limiting toxicities associated with pure GSPT1 degradation (Uy 2019)[1].
- BTX-1188 potently inhibits tumor cell proliferation and tumor growth in ex vivo and in vivo models of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in in vitro and in vivo models of lung, breast and ovarian cancer.
- These preclinical results support the ongoing Phase 1 clinical evaluation of BTX-1188 in patients with AML and certain solid tumors, especially in MYC-dependent cancers.
Details for the BTX-1188 ASCO 2022 poster presentation are as follows:

About BTX-1188
Biotheryx's lead molecular glue drug candidate BTX-1188 is a dual protein degrader which was designed to degrade GSPT1, a promising cancer target, and IKZF1/3 (also known as Ikaros/Aiolos), both clinically validated anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory targets. Prior literature has demonstrated that degradation of GSPT1 can result in antitumor activity in difficult-to-treat tumors such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in solid tumors, including those that overexpress oncogenic transcription factors, such as MYC, however, prior clinical research by others has shown that administration of a GSPT1-only degrader was associated with dose-limiting toxicities related to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. BTX-1188 was specifically designed as a potent degrader of GSPT1 that can also directly block inflammation by degrading IKZF1/3. In preclinical studies conducted by Biotheryx, administration of BTX-1188 led to complete eradication of tumors and extended survival in xenograft models of AML. BTX-1188 also led to potent cell killing in a number of cell lines derived from solid tumors. BTX-1188 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial in patients with hematologic and solid tumor malignancies.
About Biotheryx, Inc.
Biotheryx is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing a portfolio of innovative small molecule targeted protein degraders (TPDs) in areas of high unmet medical need, with an initial focus on cancer. Members of our founding and scientific teams previously developed the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved modulators of Cereblon, the most widely validated E3 ligase involved in protein degradation, and have applied their expertise in Cereblon binding to build our proprietary PRODEGY platform. Our lead product candidate, BTX-1188, is a rationally designed dual-targeting molecular glue degrader of GSPT1 and IKZF1/3, which we are currently developing in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in acute myeloid leukemia and solid tumor patients. Our broad and growing pipeline includes degraders of SOS1 for KRAS mutant cancers and CDK2/4/6 for solid tumors, with a goal of submitting three additional investigational new drug (IND) applications to the FDA over the next three years.

Video: 3 ways to bounce a single light to improve your portrait photography
posted Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 12:00 PM EDT
In his latest "Laws of Light" photography tutorial, Jay P. Morgan of The Slanted Lens shows how you can capture nice portraits with a diverse range of looks using only a single light and utilizing a bounce light technique.
Bounce light is when you have a single light, and rather than pointing it directly at your subject, you bounce it off a reflective surface. It could be a ceiling, wall, or even a specialized tool like a reflector. You can even use a bounce light without any artificial lights. If you're outside, you can use a reflector to bounce light toward your subject or bounce light coming in through a window to light a portrait.
The primary reason you'd use bounce light instead of pointing a light source at a subject is that you create a larger, softer light by bouncing your light off a bounce surface. If you point a light at the wall or ceiling, it's almost like you're shooting with a large softbox. "It just gives you a beautiful, beautiful look," says Morgan. He also uses the technique for video when shooting in a small room because he doesn't have the space to use multiple lights and large modifiers.
In the video above, Morgan shows off three different ways to utilize bounce light and a single light. The most common approach he uses is to bounce the light off the ceiling. Many rooms have eight to ten-foot ceilings, so this approach works well. If you're in a room with very tall ceilings, you'll want to try the second technique, bouncing your light off a reflector. With this bounce method, you've got a bit more control and can easily make light softer or harder by changing the distance between the light and reflector and the reflector and your subject. If you want even more control, the third technique, bouncing light off a v-flat, offers the most flexibility.
Watch the full video above to see a bonus section about how adding a second light can transform your bounce light setup. For more videos like this, head over to The Slanted Lens on YouTube or visit their website.

Biden’s bluster: Strategy, vanity or gamble
What’s up with Joe? He’s all bluster and bravado nowadays even though, as a good Catholic, he knows that vainglory is the worst of the seven sins!
Only months after his humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan, President Biden is raising the stakes against both world nuclear powers, China and Russia, while boasting of America’s unmatched military superiority, as if nuclear wars are winnable. He appears to walk away from major foreign policy consensus on a whim, only for the White House to kinda walk it back.
In a major departure from the decades-long “strategic ambiguity” towards Taiwan, Biden has declared this week from Japan that the United States will in fact come to the island’s defense if attacked by China. But the White House has insisted there was “no change of policy”.
And that wasn’t his first time. A few weeks ago, Biden advocated regime change in Russia, declaring in Poland that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power“, only for the White House to walk back his escalation, insisting there was no policy change. But Biden refused to retract his statement that expressed his “moral outrage”, and instead accused Putin of war crimes, genocide and trying to wipe out Ukraine.
All of which begs the question: Is this a case of Biden being Biden; loose-tongued and lacking in self-discipline, especially as a jet-lagged 79-year-old man speaking to a foreign audience? Or, has the US in fact adopted “strategic clarity” with regards to Beijing on Taiwan and committed to “regime change” in Moscow after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine? The difference cannot be overstated as the potential consequences of a global showdown could mean worldwide death and destruction.
The fact that Biden made a similar statement on Taiwan during a televised town hall meeting in Baltimore last october; that he has taken a combative tone with China and Russia since taking office, and that he has long held hawkish views on foreign policy, including when he served in the administration of President Barack Obama, signals that he meant or has at least considered what he was saying. And, as the US commander-in-chief, it is his views that actually matter in Washington when it comes to matters of war, and which could lead to further escalation with both Moscow and Beijing.
For long a Cold War liberal, who advocated standing up to the Soviet Union, Biden has largely transitioned into a liberal interventionist after the union’s collapse, advocating military interventions on behalf, or under the pretext of, humanitarian and democratic causes, especially when it suited him. For example, he voted against the Gulf War in 1991 for fear of a backlash, but then voted in favor of the 2003 Gulf War, which eventually caused even more of a backlash.
But he seems to have since learned his lesson from the many US failures in the Middle East, changing his mind about deploying US troops to remake countries or change governments. And yet, instead of leaning inwards towards isolationism or retreat from the world, Biden is now aiming upwards. He aims to abandon the high-cost, low-yield types of military interventions like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan in favor of lower-cost, higher-yield global containment – which delivers prestige abroad and popularity at home without sacrificing American blood and treasure in the world’s hot spots.
Biden summarized this point in a critical speech on the US withdrawal from Afghanistan last year, when he said: “Our true strategic competitors – China and Russia – would love nothing more than the United States to continue to funnel billions of dollars in resources and attention into stabilizing Afghanistan indefinitely.”
Within months of leaving Afghanistan, Putin handed Biden the pretext to up the ante by invading Ukraine, enabling him to revive, strengthen and expand the dwindling NATO alliance, under US leadership. China’s apparent complicity with Putin’s belligerent war in Ukraine has also enabled Biden to strengthen US-Asia alliances against a potential Chinese intervention in Taiwan.
For Biden, Russia and China pose one and the same geopolitical challenge regardless of the differences between the status of Ukraine – an independent state – and that of taiwan.
To revive US alliances with Europe and Asia, Biden has framed the US rivalry with Russia and China as a global clash between democracy and autocracy, all the while enlisting the support of various autocrats on America’s side. Not only is he rehashing Cold War mantras, but Biden is also borrowing more than a few pages from President Ronald Reagan’s 1980s playbook – the same playbook he condemned back in 1987 as an utter failure. Like Reagan, who understood that Americans needed to recover their pride without making more sacrifices after their humiliation in Vietnam, Biden hopes to restore the pride Americans lost in Afghanistan, without further sacrifices in faraway military entanglements. Towards that end, like Reagan, Biden is supporting US allies in Europe and expanding its military bases, while arming clients fighting proxy wars in the Middle East and beyond.
Biden, like Reagan, is projecting toughness and increasing the defense budget to a whopping $782bn, while avoiding any moves that may lead to a showdown with Russia or Iran. Just as Reagan supported the mujahideen against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, Biden is supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invaders – he is helping them fight so that Americans do not have to. He even promised to shield Americans from the energy and economic costs of the war. But unlike Reagan, who pursued diplomacy and arms control in his dealings with Moscow rather successfully, despite his invasion of Afghanistan, intervention in Poland and its massive military and nuclear buildup, Biden seems to have all but abandoned diplomacy and arms control. And unlike Reagan, who only waged a single 36-hour war against the tiny island of Grenada during his entire eight-year presidency, Biden seems to be seriously considering war with China over a hypothetical invasion of Taiwan.
It is a dangerous game of brinkmanship. It may have worked in the past for the likes of Reagan and John F Kennedy, but getting to the brink without getting into war is an utterly reckless gamble when it involves nuclear states defending their national security. That’s why Biden must restrain his vainglory before he all gets out of control, just as he needs to tame other cardinal American sins, wrath and greed, in favor of corresponding virtues, humility, temperance, and diligence.

Medvedev off to a strong start at Roland Garros, but tougher competition looms with Kecmanovic
- Updated: May 26, 2022
By Ricky Dimon
It will take a lot more than beating Facundo Bagnis and Laslo Djere for the tennis world to believe that Daniil Medvedev is a serious contender for significant clay-court titles.
But Medvedev has to start somewhere as he returns from injury on a surface that does not suit his game, and he is starting to pick up wins at the perfect time. The world No. 2 did not just beat Bagnis and Djere in rounds one and two, respectively, at Roland Garros; he made complete mincemeat out of each opponent. Medvedev followed up his opening 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 result by defeating Djere 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 on Thursday afternoon.
The 2021 U.S. Open champion is playing in just his second clay-court event of the season following a hernia issue. His first one last week in Lyon ended right away with a straight-set loss to Richard Gasquet.
Suddenly it’s Medvedev who is on the winning side of straight-setters. The second seed needed a mere one hour and 38 minutes against Bagnis and then he disposed of Djere in two hours and 35 minutes. Medvedev may not have been quite as efficient in his second match, but he still finished with more winners (28) than errors (26) and generated 18 break points (converted seven).
“I like my level so far,” he assessed. “Of course, it’s a Grand Slam; (you) can have tougher opponents, can lose third round and you are not going to be happy. But I feel like I can do well here. [On] clay courts it’s a little bit tougher, but I always remember a few good moments that I had, some great players (I beat), Barcelona, Monte-Carlo 2019.
“I know I’m capable of doing some good things. But, yeah, I need to be 100 percent focused and ready for what clay has to give to me. Right now I feel ready.”
Is Medvedev now ready to take a big step up in competition level and make a real statement? That is exactly what he would do with a win over an in-form Miomir Kecmanovic, his third-round opponent on Saturday.
Kecmanovic’s breakout 2022 campaign already includes six quarterfinals or better (including Indian Wells and Miami) plus a fourth-round showing at the Australian Open. The 31st-ranked Serb’s 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 win over Alexander Bublik on Thursday was his 25th of the year.
In a wide-open bottom half of the draw, there may be more than just a berth in week two of a slam at stake. Don’t look now, but Medvedev making another major final–this time on his worst surface–is entering the realm of possibility.

Stepping up US involvement in the Ukraine – Russia war, a nuclear power, the United States, in partnership with the European Union and the United Kingdom, announced the creation of an advisory group to help Ukraine’s war crimes investigations.
Democrats have decided that we will never again allow Russia to exist within the US-EU framework financially, politically, socially, not in any way.
Ukraine also committed war crimes but Russia is the invader.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed the formation of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group on Wednesday to directly support the efforts of the War Crimes Units of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine (OPG) to document, preserve, and analyze evidence of war crimes and other atrocities committed in Ukraine, with a view toward criminal prosecutions.”
This is direct. They clearly want regime change in Russia, but the next in line for Putin’s job is worse than Vladimir Putin.
Just so you know, the Blinken family is very close to the Soros’s.
It’s probably not about war crimes. They don’t care about people. It’s more likely this is all politics.
Everything is about Ukraine while our own country is falling apart. If you think this looks insane, you’d be correct. None of this is normal. | https://www.independentsentinel.com/us-uk-eu-launch-war-crimes-group-to-help-ukraine/ | 2022-05-27T02:27:44Z | https://www.independentsentinel.com/us-uk-eu-launch-war-crimes-group-to-help-ukraine/ | true | 1 |

Rajasthan Sports Minister Ashok Chandna Thursday expressed anguish over the conduct of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s principal secretary, referring to him as the “minister of all the departments", and said he would prefer being removed as a minister. Chandna made his displeasure public through a tweet, saying he does not want to hold on to the “dishonourable" ministerial post.
“I request the honourable chief minister to relieve me of this dishonourable ministerial post and give the charge of all my departments to Shri Kuldeep Ranka ji. He is anyway the minister of all the departments," he tweeted in Hindi, without elaborating. Ranka is the principal secretary to the chief minister.
The development comes just days ahead of Rajya Sabha elections in Rajasthan and indicates resentment within the party. Just a week ago, Congress MLA from Dungarpur Ganesh Ghogra sent his resignation to Gehlot in protest against a police case against him. BJP leaders latched onto Chandna’s tweet to attack the Congress government. “The ship is sinkingThe trends for 2023 begin to arrive," BJP state president Satish Poonia tweeted, attacking the screenshot of Chandna’s tweet.
“This is an example of the ‘governance’ of the Ashok Gehlot government. It shows the weakness of the party high command. It also shows the influence of bureaucracy on the government," Poonia told PTI. “This has a pattern. Earlier, Ganesh Ghoghra sent resignation and now Chandna has offered the resignation. This impacts governance," he said.
BJP MLA Vasudev Devnani said the ministers and MLAs do not have confidence in the Congress government of Rajasthan. “The minister is demanding freedom from this corrupt government. If this is the condition of the ministers in the government, then what would be the condition of the public," he said.

A diagnosis of high blood pressure inspires a change to the DASH diet.
A few years ago, Linda Jones’ health care provider diagnosed her with high blood pressure, which happens to run in her family.
High blood pressure is a condition afflicting more than 100 million people in the U.S. The official threshold for high blood pressure is 130/80 mmHg, according to the American Heart Association. The first number, your systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is beating, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The second number, your diastolic blood pressure, is the measurement of the pressure in your arteries between beats, when your heart is resting.
High blood pressure is a risk factor for a number of health issues, including:
— Brain damage caused by stroke.
— Stroke.
— Vision loss.
To get her blood pressure under control, Linda Jones, 73, decided to change her diet. But which eating regimen would be right for her?
Step one to finding a healthier eating regimen: Do some research.
You can find lots of solid information about effective and sustainable diets with an online search or by consulting with a registered dietitian. Linda employed the latter strategy and sought the advice of a registered dietitian — her daughter, Lisa Jones, who’s a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia.
“I asked her advice,” Linda Jones says. “She suggested the DASH diet. She helped me make small changes to how I was eating, and reduced salt and sweets in my diet.” A panel of U.S. News experts ranked the DASH diet — which stands for dietary approaches to stop hypertension — No. 2 overall (tied with the flexitarian diet) on the U.S. News 2022 Best Diets Overall list.
Recommending the DASH diet was an easy call, Lisa Jones says. “DASH diet is a great way for those who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure to prevent (health complications) and treat themselves by eating healthy,” she says.
Adopting the DASH diet has worked for Linda. Before she changed her diet, her blood pressure was typically in the 140/90 range. Linda says she started feeling better within weeks of starting the DASH diet, and today, her blood pressure is typically in the healthy 120/80 range.
What does research say about DASH diet?
Research suggests the DASH diet is a healthy eating regimen that protects your health in an array of ways.
For example, a review of studies published in 2021 in StatPearls, which calls itself the largest library of medical education in the world, concluding by suggesting the DASH diet is associated with lowering:
— Blood pressure.
— The risk of adverse cardiac events.
— Stroke.
— Obesity.
Research published in the journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition in 2019 concluded that the DASH diet “might be the most effective dietary approach to improve blood pressure in pre-hypertensive and hypertensive patients based on high-quality evidence.” The meta-analysis involved 67 clinical trials and more than 17,200 patients.
DASH diet basics
The DASH diet was developed by researchers funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.
There’s no specific DASH diet food list of the kind you might find in some commercial diets. “But rather the DASH diet is rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains. It also includes fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, poultry, beans and nuts — all while limiting foods that are high in saturated fat,” says Amy Kimberlain, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in Miami who’s a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Here are the types of foods and the daily consumption amounts recommended by the DASH diet:
— Fat-free or low-fat dairy, four to five servings a day.
— Fruits and vegetables, four to five servings daily.
— Whole grain, six to eight servings a day.
— Lean protein, 6 or fewer ounces daily.
The diet calls for low salt consumption, with a maximum of 1,500 to 2,300 milligrams a day. The DASH diet also recommends moderate alcohol consumption, two drinks a day for men and one for women.
The importance of sustainability
Before she adopted the DASH diet, Linda Jones tried the Nutrisystem diet, which is ranked No. 24 in U.S. News Best Diets Overall.
The Nutrisystem approach initially requires you to sign up for a specific program, then select and purchase your meals and snacks from a Nutrisystem menu. After the first week, you have the opportunity to create “flex meals”: Two times a week, customers will swap out their Nutrisystem breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack with a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack using grocery foods, says Karen Kerwick, a Nutrisystem representative. The object is to practice healthy cooking to help prepare you for life after being on the Nutrisystem program. Nutrisystem supports customers by providing guidance on how to build those plates, ensuring they include nutrient-rich veggies, smart and fiber-filled carbohydrates, and lean proteins, all in the right portions to support weight management.
“I liked it but it felt like a diet, and I knew it was going to be more expensive than preparing my own meals,” Linda says. “Following the DASH diet, I don’t feel like I am on a diet. It feels like a lifestyle to me, and that is what I was looking for.”
One of DASH diet’s strengths is its sustainability, says Kaylee Jacks, a sports dietitian with Texas Health Sports Medicine in Dallas. “DASH diet is sustainable because it does not eliminate any healthful nutrients or foods, which allows someone to maintain a balanced, nutrient-dense diet from a large variety of food options,” she says.
Here are seven tips that helped Linda Jones stay with the DASH diet:
1. Find alternatives to your usual treats.
Linda loves sweets — cakes, cookies, chocolate — the usual calorie-laden, diet-busting suspects. To avoid feeling deprived, she developed alternatives she could substitute for her usual treats so she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out. Instead of a piece of cheesecake, now she’ll “enjoy plain vanilla yogurt with cut-up pineapple.” Her alternative treat is tasty and satisfying but contains far fewer calories and fat.
2. Try the 90-10 approach.
Linda has found that adhering to the “90-10” approach, rather than trying to stay on the DASH diet every day, is effective. She sticks to DASH diet 90% of the time, but doesn’t aim for perfection. “I do make exceptions on days like birthdays and holidays to enjoy a special dessert,” she says. “If I am following DASH 90% of the time, I am doing what needs to be done to keep my blood pressure in check.”
3. Stay active.
Walking regularly and cleaning the house keeps Linda active — and has helped keep her blood pressure at healthy levels. That, in turn, has kept her motivated to remain vigilant about the DASH diet, she says.
Research suggests that physical activity not only helps you maintain a healthy weight, it can lower your blood pressure. The federal government recommends that adults engage in at least two hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate to intense exercise, which can include brisk walking or bicycling.
4. Study restaurant menus.
Dining out could pose a challenge to staying on the DASH diet, since many restaurants offer items high in salt, sugar, fat and calories. But many of these eateries also have healthier alternatives. “I have found that looking at the menu online ahead, planning what I’m going to eat and watching portion sizes helps keep my salt intake where it should be,” Linda says.
When dining out, Lisa Jones recommends asking to have no salt added to your meal. Try to avoid restaurant-prepared soups, which may be higher in sodium content than you’d like, at a level that can’t be adjusted. Keep in mind that in general, sandwiches, pizza, salad dressings and cured meats will have a higher sodium content. For your salad, ask for oil and vinegar versus restaurant dressings, which could have more sodium than you want.” Some restaurants list nutritional values, including sodium content, for their meals. Read those values closely, and keep in mind that the daily limit for sodium content under the DASH diet is 2,300 milligrams a day.
Some restaurants offer “better for you” options, which are typically lower in fat, calories and sodium than other meals, and are worth considering, Kimberlain says.
“My general recommendation when eating out is to ask how foods are prepared,” Kimberlain says. “Ask if they if they can be prepared without salt, or salt-containing ingredients. Most restaurants are willing to accommodate when they’re able to.”
Also, be on the lookout for terms that suggest a menu item has a high sodium content: cured, pickled and smoked. Soy sauce and broths are typically high in sodium.
“Aim to move the salt shaker away from you and don’t add any salt to your meal,” she says. “While you’re at it, limit the condiments, like mustard, ketchup, pickles and sauces, as those are often hidden sources of sodium as well.”
5. Manage your restaurant portions.
At many sit-down restaurants, meal portions are quite large. “They’re usually enough for two people,” Linda notes. So, she typically eats half of the meal, then has her server box the other half to take home for lunch the next day. Watching portion size also helps her keep her salt intake where it should be.
6. Experiment with new recipes.
“I like to cook and experiment with new recipes, which helps me to eat most of my meals at home. We (Linda and her husband) do eat a salad and vegetable at dinner every night. It’s a work in progress, and every meal is a new opportunity to watch my salt consumption.”
Trying out different recipes of DASH diet foods also helps keep the eating regimen interesting.
7. Choose healthy snacks.
Many processed snacks — like chips and beef jerky — are high in salt. Other processed foods — such as candies, cakes and cookies — are loaded with sugar and calories. Rather than noshing on DASH diet-busting processed foods, Linda opts for fresh fruits and veggies, which are lower in calories and salt and packed with nutrients.
Lisa Jones recommends these healthy snacks:
Nuts. For a convenient and crunchy snack, it’s hard to beat a handful of nuts, she says. Almonds, cashews, walnuts and peanuts are just a few of many choices. Opt for unsalted nuts, to keep your sodium consumption down. Also keep in mind that nuts are high in calories, so limit your consumption to about 1 ounce for a snack.
Greek yogurt. If you’re in the mood for a creamy snack, try Greek yogurt, which is low in calories and full of calcium, protein and probiotics. For an extra punch of protein, mix Greek yogurt with tuna and place the mixture on a stalk of celery or atop a brown rice cake.
Hard-boiled eggs. An oldie but a goodie, hard-boiled eggs are a great source of protein, and the yolk provides a high quantity of choline, which is important for brain health, Jones says. “Add a mashed avocado, and put it on wheat pita creamy and savory snack,” she says.
Raw vegetables. Raw artichokes, beets, broccoli, carrots, celery and zucchini are great, healthy snacks for anyone, Jones says. “They’re low in calories and fat, which makes them the perfect food on-the-go. You can eat raw veggies straight in their natural state, or add cheese and wheat crackers for a crunchy and savory snack.”
Kimberlain recommends several snack combos, including:
— Banana and peanut butter.
— Low-sodium Swiss cheese with an apple.
— Mixed berries with yogurt.
— Hummus and veggies.
To recap, here are seven tips for success from a DASH dieter:
— Find alternatives to your usual treats.
— Try the 90-10 approach.
— Stay active.
— Study restaurant menus.
— Manage your restaurant portions.
— Experiment with new recipes.
— Choose healthy snacks.

Queensland To Ban Nazi Swastika And Other Hate Symbols
“These crimes are not harmless”
Sky News
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will introduce legislation to the Queensland parliament making it a criminal offence to display hate symbols.
The second jurisdiction in Australia to ban the Nazi swastika and other hate symbols, the legislation is one of 17 recommendations released by a parliamentary inquiry earlier this year.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news with The Queensland Briefing - keeping you in the loop with news as it hits
The premier made the announcement on Thursday via social media, saying the government will make displaying symbols promoting hatred and causing fear a criminal offence.
"Today I’m announcing our intention to introduce legislation to parliament that will make it a criminal offence to display symbols promoting hatred and causing fear".
“Nazism is evil. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing. We will not do nothing and allow this evil to grow,” she said.
“I thought those who promoted these hideous ideas were to be pitied. Instead, I say they deserve to be punished.
“These crimes are not harmless and nor is the ideology behind it. They are to be called out, confronted and condemned," the premier said.
“To those who promote these symbols of hate I say this, your community condemns you and your days of spreading ignorance and hate are over.”
The Queensland government’s decision to push the legislation follows a recent spate of Nazi symbols and slogans being displayed across the state.
“These crimes are not harmless. Nor are their ideologies,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“They are to be called out, confronted and condemned.”- Premier Palaszczuk
Within the legislation will be special provisions for people of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and other faith communities.
“We know that swastika symbols have a profound meaning in some religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism,” state Multicultural Affairs Minister Leanne Linard said.
“The new laws will allow these symbols to be used in these respectful circumstances but prevent them from being used as a symbol of hate.”- Senator Linard

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) —Turning tragedy into a lasting legacy, that’s what Leah Veck’s powerful testimony about the life of her granddaughter did in helping to unanimously pass House resolution 130.
The Aliye Ringe Resolution urges and requests the Office of Motor Vehicles include information about organ donation in all driver education programs.
“I’m here today because of my granddaughter. Aliye’s life could not be saved, but Aliye saved five other lives,” said Veck. “At the OMV, students are simply asked the question, ‘Do you want to be an organ donor, yes or no?'”
“On December 22nd my twenty-year-old granddaughter Aliye Isabel Ringe was the victim of a fatal car accident while coming home from work,” said Veck.
On December 23rd Aliye Ringe was declared brain dead. On December 25th, on Christmas day, her favorite time of the year, she gave the gift of life to five people by donating six organs.
“It was the worst day of our lives, we’ve never experienced anything like that in our family before. She was just so young and vibrant and she just loved life so much, she has left us with a multitude of videos with her singing and dancing that brings a lot of joy to us now,” said Veck.
When Ringe was 16, with some guidance from her mother, she made the choice to become an organ donor. Four years later that decision made her a hero to so many families.
“We need to make more people aware of what that actually means being an organ donor, most people, they don’t understand because they’re not being educated,” said Veck.
Since the accident Veck has been working with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency to promote organ donation, she’s grateful for how this mission has helped her with her grieving process. She’s even been in contact with one of the recipients of her granddaughter’s selfless act.
“He thinks some of her life may have gotten into him, her liveliness,” said Veck.
While there is a long road of healing ahead, the life Aliye lived and continues to live through other people brings her comfort.
“Every time she left my driveway, that long driveway, I would do this, and Aliye would do that, and it meant always in my heart,” said Veck.
More than 100,000 people across the country are currently waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant with almost 2,000 of them here in Louisiana. Because only three in 1,000 people die in a way that allows for organ donation to take place, LOPA advocates that it is vitally important for everyone to register their lifesaving decision to be an organ, tissue, and eye donor.
“We’ve had so much sadness because of this, if I can just even help one family from having to go through the grief of losing a loved one, it’s worth every minute that I spend working to help promote organ donation,” said Veck.

Professional sports teams use their social media accounts during games to give score updates, recap exciting plays and keep fans up to date on their favorite athletes.
In lieu of game coverage and in collaboration with @Yankees, we will use our channels to offer facts about the impacts of gun violence.
— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) May 26, 2022
The devastating events that took place in Uvalde, Buffalo and countless other communities across our nation are tragedies that are intolerable.
The Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees used their social media accounts in a different way Thursday night. Both teams collaborated to use their Twitter accounts to tweet out facts about gun violence. In a post on the Tampa Bay Rays' account, the team stated, "In lieu of game coverage and in collaboration with @Yankees, we will use our channels to offer facts about the impacts of gun violence. The devastating events that took place in Uvalde, Buffalo and countless other communities across our nation are tragedies that are intolerable."
— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) May 26, 2022
Throughout the night, both teams' accounts have shared facts like "Firearms were the leading cause of death for American children and teens in 2020," and "Every day, more than 110 Americans are killed with guns, and more than 200 are shot and injured." The New York Yankees' account has over 3 million followers, and they are one of the top five most followed U.S. sports teams on Twitter. Fans were not receptive to the idea and replied to the tweets with criticism that the teams weren't covering the game.

The sports world has started to make its voice heard in the debate over gun safety. Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors, recently used his time during a news conference before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals to ask, "When are we going to do something?" He slammed his fists on the table as he yelled, "I'm tired. I am so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I am so tired of the — excuse, I am sorry — I am tired of the moments of silence. Enough!"
Just before tipoff of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, the Heat basketball team made an announcement that urged fans to call their senators to advocate for gun reform laws.

WASHINGTON — Fans who followed Thursday's game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays on Twitter didn't see play-by-play updates.
Instead, the two teams used their platforms during the game to highlight gun violence statistics and facts as the nation continues to mourn the 19 children and 2 teachers killed at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school.
"In lieu of game coverage...we will be using our channels to offer facts about the impacts of gun violence," the two teams said in a statement uploaded on their Twitter accounts. "The devastating events that have taken place in Uvalde, Buffalo and countless other communities across our nation are tragedies that are intolerable."
The Rays additionally announced they would donate $50,000 to Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun violence prevention organization founded in 2013.
"We all deserve to be safe -- in schools, grocery stores, places of worship, our neighborhoods, houses and America," a statement uploaded to the Rays' Twitter read. "The most recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde have shaken us to the core."
"This cannot become normal," the statement continued. "We cannot become numb. We cannot look the other way. We all know if nothing changes, nothing changes."
Some statistics that the teams posted include: How 110 Americans are killed with guns everyday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; that firearms were the leading cause of death for US Children and teens in 2020, according to the CDC; and how about 4,500 veterans die by firearm suicide every year, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs.
The Yankees won 7 to 2 on Thursday.
Since the Tuesday massacre in Texas, professional sport teams and players across the nation have paid tribute to the victims and have U.S. leaders to adopt more stringent gun control legislation.
In one instance, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr appeared to hold back tears as he angrily called out officials for inaction over gun violence.
"I'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there," Kerr said ahead of a game against the Dallas Mavericks. "I'm so tired. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm tired of moments of silence. Enough." | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/nation-world/baseball-teams-highlight-gun-violence-instead-of-game-updates/507-9e09184f-2b0f-452f-bf6a-b3644f15b757 | 2022-05-27T03:08:48Z | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/nation-world/baseball-teams-highlight-gun-violence-instead-of-game-updates/507-9e09184f-2b0f-452f-bf6a-b3644f15b757 | false | 17 |
(CNN) — The Justice Department won’t bring charges against two former FBI agents accused of mishandling the sex abuse inquiry of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, the third time prosecutors have reached that conclusion.
In a Thursday statement, the department said that the latest decision to decline prosecution of the agents came “after multiple reviews and analyses of evidence gathered in the investigation of the former agents, and reflects the recommendation of experienced prosecutors.”
A Justice Department inspector general report found gross failures on the part of the FBI to properly investigate complaints from gymnasts, who told the bureau in 2015 about the abuse. The inspector general found the agents lied to investigators, but the Justice Department during the Trump administration and again early in Biden administration declined to bring charges.
From July 2015, when USA Gymnastics officials first notified the FBI about abuse allegations against Nassar, and September 2016, when the FBI finally began to take meaningful investigative steps, at least 70 athletes were abused by him, the inspector general reported.
Last October, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced a third review of the investigation into the former agents, citing new information that prosecutors were reviewing.
“This does not in any way reflect a view that the investigation of Nassar was handled as it should have been, nor in any way reflects approval or disregard of the conduct of the former agents,” the Justice Department statement said.
Victims of Nassar, including Olympic gymnasts McKayla Maroney and Simone Biles, appeared before a Senate hearing last year and sharply criticized the FBI and the Justice Department for not charging the former agents.
The FBI has apologized for the mishandling of the Nassar case and has said it adopted a series of recommendations from the inspector general to prevent the mistakes from happening again.
The inspector general report last year found that senior officials in the FBI Indianapolis Field Office failed to respond to the Nassar allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required, made numerous and fundamental errors when they did respond, and violated multiple FBI policies when undertaking their investigative activity. The probe was opened in 2018 to see whether the FBI and its field offices dragged their feet to respond to allegations of sexual assault made by gymnasts and the USA Gymnastics organization in 2015 and 2016.
The release of the 119-page report comes a little over a year after more than 120 of the survivors asked the Justice Department to make the findings public.
Nassar, 58, is serving a 40-to-174-year state prison sentence after 156 women and girls said he sexually abused them over the course of 20 years.
The former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor pleaded guilty in November 2017 to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct for using his profession as a cover to sexually abuse his patients.
Nassar also pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges and separate state criminal sexual conduct charges in Eaton County.

President Biden is considering canceling some student loan debt. Here are the pros and cons
President Joe Biden is considering canceling some federal student loan debt, suggesting a once pie-in-the-sky idea is closer than ever to becoming reality.
But while some Democrats argue that the President should immediately erase large amounts of student loan debt for 43 million Americans with the stroke of his pen, the implications of such a significant policy move are complicated.
Related video above: Student loan scammers targeting borrowers now more than ever
There are upsides and downsides.
On the one hand, student debt cancellation could deliver financial relief to millions of Americans, helping them buy their first homes, start businesses or save for retirement — all investments that may take a back seat to pay off student debt. Loan forgiveness could also help narrow the racial wealth gap, some experts say.
But broad student loan forgiveness would also shift the cost — likely hundreds of billions of dollars — to taxpayers, including those who chose not to go to college or already paid for their education. Loan cancellation could also add to inflation while doing nothing to address the root of the problem: college affordability.
"This is a pretty complex issue," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told MSNBC's Symone Sanders earlier this month when she pressed him on why broad student debt cancellation hasn't happened yet.
Borrowers currently hold $1.6 trillion in outstanding federal student loan debt, more than Americans owe in either credit card or auto loan debt. About 54% of borrowers with outstanding student loan debt owed less than $20,000 as of March 2021, according to the College Board. About 45% of the outstanding debt was held by the 10% of borrowers owing $80,000 or more.
Compared with other kinds of debt, it's extremely difficult to discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Prior to the pandemic, thousands of borrowers had their Social Security checks garnished because their student loans were in default.
Federal student loan payments and interest accrual have been frozen since March 2020 due to a pandemic-related pause that Biden has extended several times. Payments are set to resume after Aug. 31, and the White House has indicated that the President will decide whether to cancel some student debt by then — just months before the midterm elections.
Student loan debt cancellation won't lower the cost of college
A one-time cancellation of federal student loan debt would do nothing to bring down the cost of college for future borrowers or those who already paid for their degrees.
"Forgiving debt does not affect college affordability at all," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a conservative think tank, and former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
In fact, it might even drive up the cost of college, he said. If prospective students have reason to believe that a future president may cancel their debt, they may be more willing to borrow more money — and colleges, in turn, may decide to charge more for tuition and fees.
"It creates this moral hazard and sets up an expectation that debt may be forgiven in the future," Holtz-Eakin said.
Biden has acknowledged that college affordability is a problem and called for making community college free — but that move would require an act of Congress. The proposal was cut from the Biden-supported Build Back Better bill, which passed the House but stalled in the Senate.
An economic boost? Or higher costs for all?
A lot of borrowers say that having less student debt hanging over their heads could help ease the pain of rising inflation.
If Biden cancels some student loan debt, it's true that some borrowers will owe less money on a monthly basis and in turn, have more money in their pockets. But more consumer spending could add fuel to an already overheated economy.
"It's a situation where what's good for individuals is not necessarily good for society," said Beth Akers, a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on the economics of higher education.
"In reality, it probably wouldn't move the needle drastically in either direction. But the downside for cancellation got a bit worse since we entered this inflationary period," Akers added.
One reason the economic impact may be modest is because borrowers generally pay back their student loans over time. They wouldn't receive a lump sum of money if some of their debt is canceled. They would instead be required to pay less money each month toward their student loan payments.
A report from the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated that canceling all $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt would increase the inflation rate by 0.1 to 0.5 percentage points over 12 months. But Biden has suggested he would cancel less than $50,000 per borrower.
The group has also found that canceling student debt is not a cost-effective way of providing economic stimulus.
The cost of canceling student loan debt would add to the deficit -- transferring the cost from borrowers to all taxpayers. The White House has suggested Biden is considering canceling $10,000 per borrower, but excluding those who earn more than $125,000 a year. Under those parameters, student loan debt cancellation would cost at least $230 billion, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Helping poorer households as well as high-earners
There are certainly many low-income Americans who are struggling to pay off their student loan debt. But it's not easy to target loan forgiveness to those who need it the most and exclude borrowers with higher salaries.
Many economists argue that canceling student loan debt would disproportionately benefit higher-wealth households, like those of doctors and lawyers, because those borrowers tend to have more student debt after attending graduate school.
An income threshold that cuts off borrowers who earn more than $125,000 a year could help make sure a bigger proportion of the relief goes to low-income borrowers.
Matthew Chingos, vice president of education data and policy at the Urban Institute, has estimated the share of forgiven debt by income group if Biden canceled $10,000 of student loan debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 a year.
About 16% of the canceled dollars would go to the poorest households earning less than $25,000 a year.
Roughly one-quarter of the relief dollars would go to those earning between $26,000 and $44,000, and another quarter to those earning between $71,000 and $122,000.
One-third of the relief would go to households with total incomes between $45,000 and $70,000 a year.
Student debt cancellation would help close the racial wealth gap, experts say, because Black students are more likely to take on student debt, borrow larger amounts and take longer paying them off than their White peers.
"Canceling student debt is one of the most powerful ways to address racial and economic equity issues. The student loan system mirrors many of the inequalities that plague American society and widens the racial wealth gap," wrote dozens of Democratic lawmakers in a March letter to Biden urging him to cancel "a meaningful amount of student debt."
But the impact on the racial wealth gap could be muted by the fact that there are also fewer Black college students than White college students. Chingos' model found that 62% of the canceled student loan dollars would go to White borrowers while 25% would go to Black borrowers if Biden canceled up to $10,000 for those earning less than $125,000 a year.
Plus, most Americans don't have student loan debt at all. Roughly 80% of households below the $125,000 threshold don't have student loan debt and would not see a benefit if Biden takes new action, according to Chingos.
Some loan forgiveness programs already exist, but they don't always work
There are already federal student loan repayment programs that exist to help borrowers who are struggling to make their payments or were victims of for-profit college fraud.
Most federal student loan borrowers are eligible for loan repayment plans that tie their monthly payment amount to their income and family size, known as income-driven repayment plans. There are a variety of plans, but generally they cap payments at 10% of a borrower's discretionary income. After 20 or 25 years of payment, depending on the specific plan, the remaining student loan debt is forgiven.
But the programs are messy and don't always work the way they should. A recent Government Accountability report found that few people have qualified for forgiveness under an income-driven repayment plan. The Department of Education had approved forgiveness for a total of 157 loans as of June 1, 2021. Meanwhile about 7,700 loans in repayment may have already been eligible for forgiveness.
The federal government also offers a student loan forgiveness plan for public sector workers who make 10 years of qualifying monthly payments. But the program, known as Public Service Loan Forgiveness, has also had problems that prevented people from qualifying.
The Biden administration has made changes to both the income-driven repayment program and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that are bringing millions of borrowers closer to debt forgiveness.
There is also a government forgiveness program for borrowers who enrolled at schools that shut down while they were enrolled or fell short of delivering the education the institutions promised. The Biden administration has been chipping away at a backlog of forgiveness claims filed under this program, known as borrower defense to repayment.
Altogether, about $18.5 billion in student loan debt has been forgiven for more than 750,000 borrowers since Biden took office, per the latest figures from the Education Department. | https://www.wcvb.com/article/canceling-student-debt-pros-and-cons/40114988 | 2022-05-27T03:16:45Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/canceling-student-debt-pros-and-cons/40114988 | true | 20 |
Students clean up cemetery ahead of Memorial Day
SUAMICO, Wis. (WBAY) - Students took on a service project at Suamico Cemetery that was delayed for years because of the pandemic.
Bay View Middle School students took on a variety of maintenance jobs, raking leaves, cutting weeds, picking up litter and cleaning off grave sites. Students also placed American flags where veterans are interred, ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.
“No one has a personal stake in this except it’s in their community, so it ends up being a really cool thing. They learn a lot, especially with the veterans leaving the flags at the graves,” Bay View science teacher Candice Perz said.
The students involved in Thursday’s service project are part of Apollo House, a group of about 100 within Bay View Middle School.

ST. PETRSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Nelson Cortes took a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning, Matt Carpenter sparked a go-ahead, three-run rally in his Yankees debut and New York beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-2 Thursday night in the first meeting of the AL East rivals this season.
Cortes (4-1) won his third straight start, striking out five and walking one in eight-plus innings. The 27-year-old left-hander lowered his ERA to 1.70, retiring 14 in a row during one stretch. He threw 77 strikes among a career-high 109 pitches.
Cortes has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 18 consecutive starts, two shy of the team record set by Russ Ford in 1910.
Wandy Peralta relieved after Wander Franco’s leadoff single in the ninth and allowed Manuel Margot’s run-scoring infield hit and Isaac Paredes RBI grounder before finishing a six-hitter.
New York, dealing with a string of injuries, signed Carpenter to a $1 million, one-year deal before the game and inserted him into the starting lineup when Aaron Hicks was scratched because of right hamstring tightness. The 36-year-old Carpenter, released last week from Texas’ minor league system, went 0 for 2 with a pair of groundouts and also walked.
Aaron Judge had pair of RBIs to raise his total to 36.
The Yankees opened a 5 1/2-game lead over the Rays by winning the opener of a four-game series, the first of 10 games between the teams in a 28-day span. New York won its third straight following a season-worst three-game losing streak and improved the major leagues’ best record to 32-13, matching 1994 for the Yankees’ second-best 45-game start behind 35-10 in 1998.
Ryan Yarbrough (0-1) held the Yankees hitless through five innings before hitting Carpenter leading off the sixth.
Marwin Gonzalez singled, and Carpenter scored the go-ahead run on Judge’s single. After Anthony Rizzo flied out, Ryan Thompson relieved, Judge stole second and Gleyber Torres flied out.
Miguel Andújar hit a hard grounder off the glove of shortstop Tyler Walls, who recovered and made a one-hop throw to that bounced off the glove of first baseman Harold Ramírez. Andújar was credited with an RBI and another run scored on the error.
Ralph Garza added a run-scoring wild pitch in the seventh. Judge hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth and Anthony Rizzo followed with an RBI double off Brooks Raley, with a second run scoring on an error by right fielder Vidal Bruján,
Yarbrough gave up three runs — two earned — and two hits in 5 2/3 innings
SLOPPY
Tampa Bay allowed two unearned runs; The Rays had 30 coming in, the second-highest total behind Pittsburgh. Tampa Bay also threw a pair of wild pitches, raising its total to 20.
HIGHS AND LOWS
Tampa Bay is 20-3 when scoring four or more runs and 6-15 when scoring three runs or fewer.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Yankees: INF D.J. LeMahieu (left wrist discomfort) said a cortisone shot reduced the pain, but not enough to play. ... 3B Josh Donaldson tested negative for COVID-19 and could rejoin the team during the series.
Rays: RHP Shane Baz (March elbow surgery) allowed two hits in 2 1/3 scoreless innings in his second rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Wednesday night.
UP NEXT
RHP Jameson Taillon (4-1, 2.95) is to start Friday for the Yankees and LHP Jeffrey Springs (2-1, 1.32) for the Rays, Springs won for the first time as a major league starter Saturday at Baltimore. Taillon has allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts.

NXT Superstar Wendy Choo has taken to social media with a post directed at women's champion Mandy Rose.
Rose and her Toxic Attraction stablemates Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne hold all the women's gold on WWE's developmental brand. They have gone past one challenger after another in their bid to retain the titles.
Wendy Choo, however, has been something of a thorn in the side of Toxic Attraction since making her debut. She has featured in a number of backstage and in-ring segments, causing trouble for the faction. On the latest edition of NXT, Choo attacked Rose with a bag of basketballs after the latter's match.
Following the attack, Choo took to Twitter to take her budding rivalry with Mandy Rose one step further. She posted a picture of herself holding Rose's NXT Women's Championship above her head. Wendy mentioned in the post caption that the title matched her outfit.
"Wow this title really matches my fit," Choo wrote.
You can check out the tweet below:
Mandy Rose responded to Wendy Choo's tweet
Never one to shy away from a repartee, The NXT Women's Champion also took to Twitter with a response.
Rather than dignify Choo's post by responding with words, Mandy chose instead to reply with emojis. She used the vomit emoji to showcase her dislike for Choo's comments.
You can check out the tweet below:
Rose defeated Indi Hartwell on the latest episode of NXT 2.0 but will have to defend her women's title against Wendy Choo at In Your House on Saturday, June 4th.
It will be interesting to see if Choo can defeat Rose for the championship or if the latter's dominant run will continue.

A look at Ben Hogan’s 60-year-old prototype clubs
-
May 25, 2022
By GolfWRX, PGATOUR.COM

At Colonial Country Club, home of this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, the presence of Ben Hogan, who won five times as a professional on the course (1946, 1947, 1952, 1953 and 1959), is everywhere. The interior of the clubhouse is decorated with photographs and memorabilia from Hogan’s career, and outside the clubhouse, a 7-foot-tall bronze statue of Hogan stands, looming over the golf course.
In further celebration of his legacy this week, the Ben Hogan Foundation – which owns a collection of over 300 clubs from Hogan’s personal stash – allowed PGA TOUR players the chance to hit some of Hogan’s original golf clubs on the range Tuesday at Colonial Country Club.
Golf technology has advanced greatly since Hogan’s playing days, so the opportunity gave modern-day players a chance to experience the difficulties of hitting persimmon drivers and old-school irons. Adding to the challenge, Hogan was a tinkerer and fought a hook throughout his career, so the golf clubs were built specifically for Hogan’s hook-proof swing.
PGA TOUR player Maverick McNealy spoke to GolfWRX on Tuesday about what it was like to try out Hogan’s personal clubs.
“It’s very different,” McNealy explained. “You can tell he has his unique fingerprints all over them. They sit about 10 degrees open, they’re at least 5 degrees flat, soft shafts, no offset, very little bounce. I think someone who’s used to hitting today’s equipment would stick them in the ground and hit kind of a chunk, block, fade. You really have to keep the hands low and rotate hard and release the face to get that thing to be square.”
The Ben Hogan Foundation also brought five of Hogan’s personal prototype golf clubs to Colonial (which players weren’t allowed to hit). According to Robert Stennett, CEO of the Ben Hogan Foundation, the unique clubs are “irreplaceable” and typically locked away in a safe.
On Tuesday, GolfWRX got an exclusive look at the Hogan prototypes, which are estimated to date back to the early 1960s.
“When Mr. Hogan passed, the family left all the clubs in his home, which were substantial, to the director of golf at Shady Oaks Country Club, Mike Wright, who has subsequently donated them to the Ben Hogan Foundation when it was established in 2007,” Stennett explained. “They donated all the clubs to the Ben Hogan Foundation. Similarly, when Spalding closed the Hogan Company here in Fort Worth, all the clubs that were in Mr. Hogan’s office were donated back to Mike Wright and Shady Oaks, and we’ve taken possession of those, as well … we’ve probably got over 300 golf clubs of Mr. Hogan’s, including these prototype clubs.”
As the five golf clubs reveal, Hogan was ahead of his time as a golf club inventor.
Growing up, Hogan’s father was a blacksmith, but when he committed suicide in 1922, 9-year-old Hogan was left to assist his family financially by selling newspapers. At age 11, he began caddying at Glen Garden Country Club, and he eventually dropped out of high school. While Hogan never gained a higher education in science or engineering, his golf intelligence and knowledge of the golf swing helped him create golf clubs in his later years that were truly forward-thinking.
In 1953, amidst his playing career, Hogan founded his own equipment company.
“He created his own company, and my own substantiated belief is he did that because his previous company couldn’t stay up with how rapidly he was making design changes in equipment,” Stennett said. “So he created his own company in 1953. He had his own scientist. I’m sure Mr. Hogan would draw something out on paper, send it in, they would bring a mockup to him, and then they would go back and forth as they were creating new equipment designs. Gene Sheeley was one of his early scientists. He was there for a long time.”
Hogan had ideas to improve golf club design, and alongside his longtime club maker Gene Sheeley, Hogan had both the access and the means to craft experimental golf clubs. While modern-day technology advancements are tested on robotic machines – such as the “Iron Byron” – due to their repeatability, Hogan also served as his own machine tester.
“Mr. Hogan was the ‘Iron Byron,’” Stennett said. “He didn’t have a hitting machine in his day (to test equipment). He would go into the factory, he would go invent, he would go tinker with a club, and he would bring it out to Shady Oaks and he would be the Iron Byron. He would test it, take it back to the factory, tweak it, and these are some of the experimental clubs Mr. Hogan was tinkering with. Most of them subsequently became very famous clubs.”
While the prototype golf clubs in Stennett’s possession didn’t necessarily make it to the retail market, and Hogan didn’t use them in competition, they illustrate Hogan’s foresight and willingness to push boundaries.
“I just brought five examples here,” Stennett said. “It’s one thing to hear (in) my words how creative and how innovative Mr. Hogan was. It’s another thing to show you a club that no one knows about that was perhaps invented 20, 30 years before you’ve heard of the club … his attention to detail was so amazing and he was so meticulous, and he spent so much time investigating and learning the golf swing that equipment design naturally flowed to his love of golf and his interest in pursuing perfection.”
The collection of prototypes that Stennett revealed on Tuesday include a “hybrid,” a driver made of metal, a driver with modern shapes and weighting ideas, an iron made of aluminum with unique grooves, and a putter with the shaft in the toe section instead of the heel.
Check out the photos below to learn a bit more about what makes the clubs so incredible.
Hogan’s “metal” driver
Until 1979, when TaylorMade’s first metalwood hit the market, drivers being used on the PGA TOUR were made of persimmon wood. Metal, however, eventually proved to be longer and more accurate than the wooden predecessors, so persimmon drivers were eventually left behind as artifacts.
This black Hogan prototype driver is estimated to have been created in the early 1960s, years before the first true metalwood was popularized.
Of course, Hogan never brought the driver to market or to PGA TOUR competition, but he was certainly heading down the right path as an inventor and experimenter.
Hogan’s “hybrid”
These days, hybrids are incredibly common on the PGA TOUR and in the retail market. There was a time, though, when the modern hybrid didn’t even exist.
The first long-headed “hybrid” type designs that we know today were the Ginty and Baffler released in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until the late 1990s when Cobra unveiled its Baffler hybrid that the club designs really took off.
Hogan’s all-silver metal hybrid, however, was said to be crafted in the early 1960s, according to Stennett. It doesn’t have any markings, but the shaping is undeniable.
Hogan’s modern-shaped driver head
While most persimmon drivers in the 1960s had a distinct shape that featured wide hosel sections, compact and rounded shapes with narrow hitting areas, this Hogan prototype had elongated heel and toe shaping on the face, a triangular crown, and the shaft entered directly into the clubhead all the way through into the sole in a “bore-thru” construction. Additionally, it appears Hogan added a heavy washer-like weight in the sole, likely to lower the center of gravity in the head.
In modern-day driver head design, we recognize these qualities as helping to raise launch, lower spin and add forgiveness in order to optimize performance. In the 1960s, this design would have been truly one-of-a-kind.
Hogan’s aluminum iron
Although it’s unknown Hogan’s exact intent behind this design, Stennett says the extremely lightweight iron is likely made of aluminum, and the grooves of the head have a wave-like shape. Stennett’s best guess is that Hogan was experimenting with creating more swing speed and trying to manipulate spin of the golf ball using groove construction.
Hogan’s backwards putter
Most putters, even still to this day, have a shaft that enters the club head through the heel section of the putter. This Hogan prototype, however, has a shaft that enters through the toe section.
Although multiple companies have since experimented with similar shaft placement, the design never quite gained as much popularity as his other prototypes on this list. The putter does, however, illustrate Hogan’s willingness to try anything and everything in order to improve. He was constantly chasing perfection.

TCU Baseball Falls To The University of Texas 5-3
Home plate umpire Casey Moser needs a new job, because he is terrible at being an umpire. Moser gave UT's starting pitcher 2 inches on both sides of the plate and below the knees all game, ruining at bat after at bat for TCU. Eventually TCU had no option other than to swing at every pitch that wasn't over their head. Of which there were many.
A first inning home run gave UT-Austin an early 3-0 lead.
Marcelo Perez was locked in and dealing. Perez was hitting 95mph with the fastball while mixing speeds with his sliders, mixing and pinpointing his pitches masterfully. Perez would pitch seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two hit batsmen while recording six strikeouts. UT would not record another extra base hit or run off Perez through seven innings.
It was in the 8th inning with Luke Savage on the mound that home plate umpire Casey Moser completely lost control of his faculties.

With the score 3-2 and runners on the corners in the 8th, UT umpire Casey Moser decided it was time to make up a phantom balk call to give UT a 4-2 lead. With the runner on first being given second base on the call, TCU coach Kirk Saarloos tried to let the Longhorn umpire know that he wanted to intentionally walk Ivan Melendez. Legendary UT umpire Casey Moser took it upon himself to be the MVumP, making the play of the game for the Longhorns, ejecting the Big 12 Coach of the Year for trying to intentionally walk a Longhorn. Apparently that is not allowed.
The Longhorns would tack on one more run on in the inning, while the Frogs would leave the bases loaded in the bottom half of the 8th. Gray Rogers would hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 9th inning to bring the final score to 5-3.
TCU will face Oklahoma State in an elimination game Friday at 3:15 p.m CT on ESPN+. With OSU has already thrown Friday starter Victor Mederos and Saturday starter Justin Campbell in their usual order, leaving either RHP Trevor Martin (3-3, 4.85) or RHP Bryce Osmond (4-2,4.75) to face TCU. TCU still has LHP Austin Krob (2-0, 6.09) and RHP Riley Cornelio (4-4, 4.03) available for the game Friday. Saarloos will not receive a suspension for his ejection and will be back in the dugout for the game against OSU.

Chandigarh: Punjab and the United Kingdom on Thursday agreed for further tie ups in agriculture, information technology, food processing, higher education, sports, public transport (electric buses) and biomass sectors.
A decision to this effect was taken during a meeting between Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann and British high commissioner to India Alex Ellis who called on the former here, said an official release.
During the meeting, it was agreed that there is a huge potential of collaboration between Punjab and the UK in these sectors.
CM Mann said hardworking and resilient people of Punjab have already made a mark in these sectors. The advanced technology of the UK will be helpful in further harnessing the hidden potential in these sectors.
Extending a red carpet welcome to British investors in the state, the chief minister said the state government will ensure a single window online clearance to all investors.
The Punjab government will ensure a smooth and hassle-free mechanism for investors in the state, Mann said, adding that he is already in touch with a large number of prospective investors from the UK.
Flagging the issue of direct flight from Chandigarh to London's Heathrow Airport, the chief minister said this flight will act as a window for the people of Punjab to reach the western world.
Mann said a number of airlines are already in touch with him for starting their flights once it gets approval.
The British high commissioner assured the chief minister of all possible help in this regard.
He said the UK is very keen in firming up investment in these key sectors.
Ellis also lauded the zero-tolerance stance of the chief minister against corruption and said that it will further help in boosting confidence of investors in the state, said the release. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/general-news/punjab-uk-agree-for-increased-collaboration-in-agriculture-it-food-processing-sports-articleshow.html | 2022-05-27T03:39:16Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/general-news/punjab-uk-agree-for-increased-collaboration-in-agriculture-it-food-processing-sports-articleshow.html | false | 1 |
Machado has 3 doubles, triple; Padres complete Giants sweep
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Manny Machado set a career high and matched a franchise record with four extra-base hits, and the surging San Diego Padres completed a three-game sweep of the Giants, beating San Francisco 10-1 on Sunday.
On a day when every San Diego starter had at least one hit and San Francisco used a position player to pitch, Machado’s big afternoon included three doubles, a triple and two RBIs. The five-time All-Star was also intentionally walked. He’s the eighth player in Padres history to have four extra-base hits in one game.
“A good baseball day for us, very good,” Machado said. “We’ve got a really good thing going here as a ballclub and if we continue to do things the right way, things will fall in. But you have to keep that foot on the gas.”
The Padres third baseman did that all day.
Machado doubled off Alex Wood and scored on Wil Myers’ single in the first inning then doubled in a pair of runs in the fourth when the Padres scored five runs and batted around. He tripled and scored in the fifth then doubled again leading off the seventh.
“All I’m seeing is what I’ve seen this year,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “The pace that he’s playing at and the desire that he’s playing with rubs off on everybody.”
Melvin specifically pointed out Machado’s double in the seventh. The ball wasn’t hit very hard, but Machado never hesitated rounding first.
“When your best player plays like that everybody kind of has to fall in line,” Melvin said. “Certainly makes my job easy.”
With the game out of hand and his team trailing by nine, Giants manager Gabe Kapler used outfielder Luis González in relief for the second time this season. González pitched two scoreless innings and allowed one hit.
Myers added three hits for San Diego and drove in three runs as the Padres won their fourth straight and sixth of seven to pull within one-half game of the NL West-leading Dodgers.
San Diego’s first sweep in San Francisco since 2016 came afterMelvin returned Friday following prostate surgery. It gave the Padres their 27th victory, matching the team’s best start through 41 games. The 1998 Padres also began the season 27-14.
MacKenzie Gore (3-1), who pitched in relief Tuesday, worked six innings of three-hit ball and allowed one run. The left-hander had six strikeouts and walked two.
Wood (3-3) allowed five runs and eight hits in three innings.
QUOTABLE
“Manny’s been awesome. MVP. The hustle double today in a game that’s kind of out of hand, he sets the tone and we all build off of that.” – Gore on his teammate Machado.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Padres: SS Fernando Tatis Jr. will meet the rest of the team in San Diego on Monday, although the target date for his return off the 60-day Injured List remains late June. Tatis has not played this season after arriving at spring training with a broken left wrist that required surgery. He has been at the team’s facilities in Arizona working on his defense and conditioning, but has yet to resume swinging a bat. “It’s been defensive stuff, conditioning, nothing that involves a bat,” Melvin said, adding that Tatis is scheduled to undergo another bone scan soon. ... RHP Mike Clevinger was placed on the IL with a right triceps strain. ... LHP Drew Pomeranz (flexor tendon surgery) threw a bullpen Saturday and will have another early next week before the Padres determine what the next step is. ... RHP Steven Wilson was recalled from Triple-A El Paso.
Giants: 1B Brandon Belt was placed on the 10-day IL with right knee inflammation. INF Kevin Padlo was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.
Padres: RHP Nick Martinez (2-2, 3.89 ERA) will pitch the opener of a three-game home series against the Brewers on Monday. Martinez has won two straight decisions.
Giants: RHP Alex Cobb (3-1, 5.61 ERA) has won his previous two starts despite allowing eight earned runs and 13 hits over 10 2/3 innings.

ANTIOCHAntioch police and Mayor Lamar Thorpe have said they will take a “zero-tolerance approach” to stop the illegal road activities plaguing the area, and this weekend they will partner with neighboring police to be sure none occurs.
Antioch police, along with Brentwood Police Department, Pittsburg Police Department, Oakley Police Department and California Highway Patrol will conduct joint traffic enforcement efforts Friday through Sunday to deter potential sideshows and other reckless driving, Antioch interim Police Chief Steven Ford said in a statement on Thursday.
Police also plan to conduct vehicle emissions inspections. Any vehicles found with illegal emissions equipment will be referred to a California Smog Referee for further review.
“Don’t come to Antioch because we will be waiting for you with the full force of the Antioch Police Department or its allied agencies to ensure that that (sideshow) does not happen in our community,” Thorpe warned potential sideshow participants recently.
Chief Ford said this weekend’s detail with outlying agencies was formed in response to information residents provided regarding a sideshow that was planned in the East County area.
Antioch police, in a statement, thanked law enforcement partners and residents who helped in the APD’s investigations.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at 925-778-2441 or text-a-tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using the key word ANTIOCH. | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/26/east-bay-police-partner-with-others-to-stop-illegal-sideshows-reckless-driving-this-weekend/ | 2022-05-27T03:49:55Z | https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/26/east-bay-police-partner-with-others-to-stop-illegal-sideshows-reckless-driving-this-weekend/ | false | 2 |
‘I can’t let this go’: Father stands guard at daughter’s school in wake of mass shooting
KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX/Gray News) - A father in Texas is standing guard at an elementary school where his wife works and daughter attends in the wake of this week’s devasting elementary school mass shooting.
Ed Chelby said he is at Saegert Elementary because he could not sleep after Tuesday’s shooting in Uvalde, Texas. His daughter is a student, and his wife is also a school nurse.
KWTX reports Chelby wrote an email to the school district superintendent and asked for permission to stand guard at the school’s main entrance.
“I said I would just be out there unarmed to let people know that I’m watching. Let the parents have a little bit of relief,” Chelby said.
He was given permission and is making sure anyone who walks through the front doors is supposed to be there.
“I can’t let this go,” Chelby said. “This is just a testament to the sleeplessness caused by the grief I experienced.”
With 11 years of U.S. Army experience and a background in security, Chelby said he doesn’t sweat standing outside, making sure the kids were safe.
“I’ve had a lot of emotional people come up to me,” Chelby said, “They didn’t want to send their kids to school. They struggled with sending their kids to school. And I told them, I was like, ‘I got them.’”
He had already filled out the paperwork to be a school volunteer and was in the middle of a background check when he was given permission to stand guard.
Among those who appreciate Chelby’s efforts is Samantha Longfeather-Locke, the mother of a student at Saeger.
“Him standing in front of the school, it’s reassuring,” Longeather-Locke said.
She shared a photo of Chelby standing guard that has since gone viral. Longeather-Locke said that people needed to know what he was doing in providing the comfort everyone is currently searching for after another mass shooting.
“We all struggle with that. You don’t know if you should send your kid to school. You want them to get their education and their experience of the last days of school, but you want to protect them with everything you got,” Chelby said.
Those interested in similar volunteer opportunities for the next school year in the Killeen Independent School District can find more information here.

Dell Technologies Inc beat revenue expectations for the ninth straight quarter on Thursday, as the PC maker saw robust demand for its computers and laptops as companies embrace a hybrid work model.
The company also posted a 62 percent jump in quarterly profit as businesses continue to heavily invest in remote-working equipment and consumers upgrade their devices. Its results come at a time when technology companies are battling a global chip shortage and supply chains disruptions, made worse by the Ukraine war and fresh lockdowns in China.
Revenue at Dell's client solutions group, which included its desktop PCs, notebooks and tablets, rose 17 percent in the quarter, while the company's infrastructure solutions group, which sells data storage software and servers, posted a 16 percent increase in sales. Total revenue rose 16 percent to $26.12 billion in the first quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $25.04 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Net income from continuing operations rose to $1.07 billion, or $1.37 per share, from $659 million, or 84 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding items, Texas-based Dell earned $1.84 per share. Earlier in the day, chip firm Broadcom Inc said it would buy VMware in a $61 billion cash-and-stock deal. The cloud computing firm was spun off from Dell in 2021.
Michael Dell, the nearly four-decade-old company's founder and top boss, is VMware's biggest investor with a 40 percent stake. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/dell-revenue-zooms-past-expectations-on-strong-demand-witness-62-jump-in-quarterly-profit-13632752.htm | 2022-05-27T03:59:09Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/dell-revenue-zooms-past-expectations-on-strong-demand-witness-62-jump-in-quarterly-profit-13632752.htm | false | 4 |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — China and Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution sponsored by the United States on Thursday that would have imposed tough new sanctions on North Korea for its spate of intercontinental ballistic missile launches that can be used to deliver nuclear weapons.
The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-2 and marked a first serious division among the five veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N.’s most powerful body on a North Korea sanctions resolution.
A united Security Council imposed sanctions after North Korea’s first nuclear test explosion in 2006 and tightened them over the years in a total of 10 resolutions seeking -- so far unsuccessfully -- to rein in its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and cut off funding.
But China and Russia told the Security Council after the vote that they oppose more sanctions, stressing that what’s needed now is renewed dialogue between North Korea and the United States.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield expressed disappointment but not surprise at the vote, calling North Korea’s 23 ballistic missile launches this year, including six ICBMs after a five-year suspension, “a grave threat to international peace and security.”
People are also reading…
“The world faces a clear and present danger from the DPRK,” she said, using the initials of the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and citing its continued pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
In the last sanctions resolution adopted by the council in December 2017, members committed to further restricting petroleum exports to North Korea if it conducted a ballistic missile launch capable of reaching intercontinental ranges.
Before the vote, Thomas-Greenfield urged the council to fulfill its commitment and act against the North’s ICBM launches and its escalating nuclear program.
China’s U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun blamed the United States for not reciprocating North Korea’s “positive initiatives” during talks with the Trump administration in 2018 and 2019.
He said it’s the U.S.’ responsibility now to resume its dialogue with Pyongyang and find a political solution to the situation on the Korean Peninsula, where the 1950-53 war between North Korea and South Korea stopped with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
“The situation and peninsula has developed to what it is today thanks primarily to the flip-flop of U.S. policies and failure to uphold the results of previous dialogues,” he said.
Faced with “persistent tension” on the Korean peninsula, Zhang said, “China has been calling on all parties to exercise calm and restraint and to desist from actions that could increase tension and lead to miscalculations.” He said North Korea faces the harshest sanctions regime and instead of imposing new sanctions China and Russia have proposed lifting some sanctions to improve the dire humanitarian situation of North Koreans.
Earlier, Zhang alluded to the U.S. “pivot to Asia” aimed at countering the rise of China as an economic and military power and America’s most significant competitor.
“We do not want to see anyone make use of the DPRK situation or the Korean Peninsula situation as a card for their strategic or geopolitical agenda,” he said. “We are completely against any attempt to make northeastern Asia a battlefield or to create confrontations or tensions there."
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said Moscow had repeatedly told the U.S. that new sanctions against the DPRK were “a path to a dead end,” and had also stressed “the ineffectiveness and the inhumanity of further strengthening the sanctions pressure on Pyongyang.”
“The problems of security in the region, which also directly affect Russia, cannot be resolved through primitive and blunt means that have a direct impact on the population,” he said. “Over the past year, we are seeing only a worsening of the situation on the (Korean) peninsula.”
Nebenzia said Western nations have shifted the blame to North Korean authorities while completely ignoring Pyongyang’s repeated appeals to the United States to stop “its hostile activity which will open the path for dialogue.”
Thomas-Greenfield, the U.N. envoy, retorted that it is the Security Council’s inaction that is “certainly enabling” North Korea’s escalation of its weapons programs. And she countered that the United States has made “serious, sustained efforts, publicly and privately, to pursue diplomacy with the DPRK without preconditions.”
The U.S. and British envoys also expressed concern that North Korea will resume nuclear testing.
Britain’s deputy ambassador James Kariuki warned that two members seeking to keep the council silent will only embolden North Korea.
Standing with the ambassadors of Japan and South Korea after the meeting, Thomas-Greenfield read a joint statement calling the vetoes “dangerous” and saying they undermine not only the Security Council’s previous resolutions which Russia and China have committed to but “our collective security.”
The three countries vowed not to remain silent and pledged to work together to protect the region and the world “from the DPRK’s continued and unprovoked escalations.”
Wednesday’s announcement of the vote came hours after North Korea’s latest launches and followed Tuesday’s conclusion of U.S. President Joe Biden’s Asia trip aimed at reinforcing the U.S. pivot. It included stops in South Korea and Japan, where he reaffirmed America’s commitment to defend both allies in the face of the North’s nuclear threat.
Wednesday’s launches were the 17th round of DPRK missile firings this year. Experts have said North Korea wants to move ahead with its push to expand its arsenal and apply more pressure on its rivals to wrest sanctions relief and other concessions.
The resolution voted on Thursday would have reduced exports of crude oil to North Korea from 4 million barrels a year to 3 million barrels, and exports of refined petroleum products from 500,000 barrels a year to 375,000 barrels. It would also have banned the North's exports of mineral fuels, mineral oils, mineral waxes. clocks, watches and their parts.
The defeated resolution would also have imposed a global asset freeze on one individual and three companies including North Korea's Lazarus Group which reportedly engages in “cyberespionage, data theft, monetary heists and destructive malware operations” against government, military, financial, manufacturing, publishing, media and entertainment institutions as well as shipping companies and critical infrastructure.

Anthony Albanese has indicated Labor will continue to support a pay increase for Australia’s lowest paid workers that keeps pace with the rate of inflation.
But the Prime Minister will not specify the rate to which the minimum wage should be raised, despite “absolutely” endorsing an increase of at least 5.1 per cent during the election campaign.
The Fair Work Commission is carrying out its annual wage review to determine whether to raise the national minimum wage for Australia’s lowest paid workers from $20.33 per hour
Mr Albanese on Friday said the newly installed Labor government would make a submission to the workplace umpire.
“The submission will be consistent with what I said during the election campaign: that people who are on the minimum wage can’t afford to go backwards (and) can’t afford a real wage cut,” he told the ABC.
“There won’t be a number in the submission. What there will be though, is the strong view that we have, that people who are on the minimum wage simply can’t afford a real wage cut.”
Almost three million people who rely on the review to determine their wages should find out next month if they will get a raise that keeps up with the cost of groceries.
The Reserve Bank noted earlier this month that wages growth in Australia has not kept pace with soaring inflation, meaning salaries are shrinking in real terms, in some cases noticeably.
The central bank is expecting inflation to be almost twice as high as wages growth by the end of 2022, meaning most pay packets will effectively be going backwards for another 18 months.
Mr Albanese conceded during a pre-election debate with Scott Morrison that he could not guarantee wages under a Labor government would rise faster than inflation.
But he said he could promise they would be higher under Labor than the Coalition.
“Our objective is to have real wage increases,” he said at the time.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions’ submission to the Fair Work Commission calls for a 5.5 per cent increase in the minimum wage to $21.45 an hour, the equivalent of $42,385 a year.
After the commission hands down its decision on wages for the next financial year, most changes would usually begin on the first full pay period on or after July 1.
Some business groups including the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry have argued any increase to the award rates — in sectors including retail, tourism and food services — should be delayed because of “exceptional” economic circumstances.
The commission is next due to hold hearings for its wage review on June 3. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/anthony-albanese-announces-labor-will-make-wages-submission-to-fair-work-commission-c-6954746 | 2022-05-27T04:09:40Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/anthony-albanese-announces-labor-will-make-wages-submission-to-fair-work-commission-c-6954746 | true | 2 |
