New Australian government releases Sri Lankan family from immigration detention
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
SYDNEY, May 27 (Reuters) - Australia's new government said on Friday it would give temporary visas to a Sri Lankan asylum seeker family held in immigration detention since 2019, a step towards closure of one of the country's most controversial migration cases.
The Tamil family of four, Priya and Nadesalingam Murugappan and their two daughters, have been a cause celebre since being detained in the rural Australian town where they settled years earlier. The family was taken into the country's offshore detention system, designed to deter asylum seekers from entering by boat.
Amid growing public anger, the conservative government moved the family to mainland Australia last year when the younger daughter, Tharnicaa, needed urgent medical care for sepsis linked to untreated pneumonia. The family has since been in community detention onshore. read more

The new centre-left Labor government, which won a national election on May 21 after nine years in opposition, said it would give the family bridging visas, allowing them to return to their adopted home town, Biloela, 600 kilometres (370 miles) northwest of Brisbane, until their asylum application is resolved.
"When I visited Biloela in 2019, I saw just how much the community loves Priya, Nades, Kopika and Tharnicaa," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wrote in a tweet, referring to the family members.
"Today my government has enabled them to return home," added Albanese, who was sworn in as leader on Monday.
The former conservative government had resisted calls to free the family, known as the "Biloela" family, insisting that doing so would undermine its hardline immigration policies. But criticism about the family's treatment grew, including by conservative members.
The just-elected Labor government said before the election that it would adopt the conservatives' tough border policies but that it considered the Biloela family's treatment unfair.
Priya and Nadesalingam Murugappan arrived in Australia by boat in 2012 and 2013 and sought asylum. The couple married in Australia, where their daughters were born.
In 2018, after Australia rejected the asylum applications of Priya and Nadesalingam, who fled Sri Lanka amid a civil war, Canberra detained the family for deportation to Sri Lanka.
When court orders blocked their deportation, Australia in 2019 moved the family to Christmas Island, a territory some 1,550 km (960 miles) northwest of the mainland, before their return to the mainland last year.

Igor Shesterkin pulls the mask up on top of his head, takes a sip of water and looks around. Instead of squirting the bottle through the cage and shuffling back into position, he takes a few seconds to soak in the atmosphere.
“He has that grin like he’s loving every aspect of it,” retired goaltender Martin Biron said. “He’s got some cocky confidence to him.”
That confidence has made Shesterkin the face of the Rangers franchise and successor to Henrik Lundqvist as the new king of New York.
The 26-year-old Russian goaltender now hears fans yelling, “I-gor! I-gor!” in the same cadence of “Hen-rik! Hen-rik!” that reverberated off the walls of Madison Square Garden for more than a decade. He knows he is charged with trying to win the Original Six organization's first Stanley Cup title since 1994.
The Rangers are down 3-2 and face a must-win Game 6 at home Saturday night against Carolina in the second round.
“I feel no pressure as a player,” Shesterkin said recently through an interpreter. “I do understand the gravity of the situation. This city, this team definitely deserve a Cup and we’re giving our best to try to make that happen.”
Shesterkin has the talent and the personality to handle being at the center of the maelstrom that is tending goal for the Rangers. Being a starting goaltender in any NHL market comes with a certain spotlight, but it shines brighter in New York City, especially given there has only been one hockey championship parade down the “Canyon of Heroes” in more than 80 years.
“He wants that mantle,” said Mike Richter, who was the goalie in 1994 when the Rangers won the Cup. “You can’t back into New York or any starting goaltending position in the NHL and decide that you don’t want to play a pivotal role in the success or failure of the team.”
Arguably no one played more of a pivotal role in his team’s success this season than Shesterkin, who led the league with a 2.07 goals-against average and .935 save percentage to help the Rangers make the traditional 16-team playoffs for the first time since 2017.
He is a Hart Trophy finalist for NHL MVP, the first goalie to finish top three in voting since Sergei Bobrovsky in 2017 and just the second since Lundqvist a decade ago.
Lundqvist, who was bought out by the Rangers in 2020 in part to clear a path for Shesterkin, knew right away his heir apparent was right for the job.
“He worked hard — great attitude from Day One — and you could tell his skill level was there,” said Lundqvist, now an analyst for MSG Network. “The success we’re seeing, it’s not a surprise at all.”
Lundqvist and Stephen Valiquette noted the work of longtime Rangers goaltending coach Benoit Allaire, who has been known to write “Become a master” on the ice in marker before practice.
“Allaire used to say to us: ‘Keep the bubble nice and tight. Don’t let it get too big, or it’s going to burst,’” said Valiquette, who played 41 of his 48 NHL games for the Rangers and has gone on to become an MSG analyst and run his own analytics company. “Allaire is so good at getting us to buy into the process and really focus on what’s important, so you’re not thinking about the result.”
After showing remarkable consistency most of the season and stopping 118 of 124 shots in his first two playoff starts, Shesterkin struggled midway through the first round against Pittsburgh. He was pulled from Game 3 after allowing four goals on 15 shots and gave up six more to lose Game 4, putting the Rangers down 3-1 in the series.
While plenty of buzz was swirling about the possibility of backup Alexandar Georgiev starting Game 5 to give Shesterkin a breather, coach Gerard Gallant never wavered. Shesterkin found his game to get the results the Rangers needed to come back and knock off the Penguins.
Then, when New York trailed Carolina 2-0 in the second round, Shesterkin was otherworldly in turning aside 73 of 75 Hurricanes shots to even the series.
“All he did was put his equipment on and go to work,” Richter said. “That showed some real focus and the ability to block out anything that’s not particularly helpful. That’s a real mature response by him and the whole team and it bodes well for the future.”
While the Rangers rebuild was supposed to be a longer-term project, the future is now thanks in large part to Shesterkin, who has shown glimpses of relishing the situation like Lundqvist did. The veteran Swede, who was forced to give up hopes of playing after tests revealed a heart condition, knows exactly what it takes to fill that role. He sees those qualities in Shesterkin.
“He lives his life, he’s focused on the game, but then away from the game he can focus on friends, family and that’s healthy to your game not to get carried away in this city,” Lundqvist said. “There’s a lot of people that want a piece of you and do this and do that and it all comes down to your personality, too: what you want to do. But in the end, it comes down to be ready when you come to the rink. It seems like he lives in his little bubble, and I think that helps in the long run.”
Through the long lineage of Rangers goalies from 1940 Cup-winner Dave Kerr to Eddie Giacomin, Richter and Lundqvist, not all of them were creatures of the attention that comes with playing in New York. Shesterkin, however, has shown he can play the part.
“He loves it as much as Lundqvist did,” Biron said. “He embraces it, and gets energy off of it. To me, he fits the mold that Rangers fans have been able to go from Lundqvist to Shesterkin and kind of followed it perfectly.”

Which lunch bag is best?
Are you wasting time going to restaurants on your break? Lunch bags can help without the bulk or heft common with lunch boxes. Lunch bags come in a variety of sizes and styles and a plethora of special features, both external and internal. They can be funky, cool, classy or just plain convenient when it comes to getting to your grub. If you’re looking for a great lunch bag that does it all, check out the MIER Adult Lunch Box Insulated Lunch Bag.
What to know before you buy a lunch bag
When choosing a lunch bag, how and where you will be enjoying the food you pack will be the biggest factor you’ll need to consider. A lunch bag suited for a picnic after a 4-hour hike might look a little out of place in the office. The weather and duration you intend to be out and about with your lunch bag may warrant heavier insulation or extra cooling features like ice packs.
Size
Are you packing one meal and a snack or two meals in your lunch bag? Will you need to store your lunch in a cramped office fridge? If you’re going on a picnic with the whole family, one large and easy-to-carry lunch bag that can carry food for everyone could help simplify your day out.
Sturdiness
Will your lunch bag be lovingly carried from your home to the office each day, or will it be bounced, kicked and thrown around by excited children on the way to and from school? Whatever the reason, some of us may need a little extra protection for the tasty morsels inside. Structured lunch bags that have stiffer sides will help your food survive its journey to the lunch table. Softer, collapsible bags may be easier to store and fit into tight places, but you will need to handle them with more care.
How much you can expect to spend on a lunch bag
You will find that there is a wide array of quality lunch bags anywhere from $15-75.
Lunch bag FAQ
Do you have to keep food refrigerated if it’s in a lunch bag?
A. A good rule of thumb is to make sure your lunch bag isn’t out of refrigeration for more than two hours, even if it’s insulated. If there is no way to put your lunch bag in a refrigerator, you can create your refrigeration with an ice pack. Some lunch bags even have a built-in pocket specifically for ice packs.
Will an insulated lunch bag also keep food warm?
A. Insulation isn’t picky. It will help keep your food closer to the temperature when you packed it than if you used a regular bag, but duration and storage may affect your food’s warmth.

Guardians' Shane Bieber seeks more success vs. Tigers
Shane Bieber will look to continue his dominance against the Tigers when the Cleveland Guardians play the second game of a four-game series in Detroit on Friday.
The 26-year-old right-hander may not have the same velocity he displayed in previous years, but he still posted a season-high 10 strikeouts when he faced the Tigers on Sunday.
Bieber (1-3, 3.55 ERA) also matched his season high with seven innings and allowed just two runs -- but he still wound up with the loss.
Bieber has notched double-digit strikeouts in his last six starts against Detroit, and his total on Sunday was his most since he whiffed 12 Tigers last May 27.
In nine career starts against the Tigers, Bieber is 6-3 with a 2.31 ERA while striking out 86 in 62 1/3 innings.
Bieber's average four-seamer on Sunday clocked in at just 90.4 mph -- several ticks lower than two seasons ago. He is learning how to keep hitters in check without an electric heater.
"Guys pitch with what they have," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "If velocity ticks up or ticks down over the course of the season, you have to pitch with where you are. I think Biebs has a great understanding of that."
In his latest quality outing against Detroit, Bieber used the tried-and-true formula of throwing first-pitch strikes.
"Enough's enough," he told catcher Austin Hedges. "No matter what the philosophy is or the action of the pitch, I need to get ahead of hitters and put us in a better situation to succeed."
Bieber will be opposed Friday by rookie Alex Faedo (1-1, 3.00 ERA), who will be making his fifth career start. Faedo collected his first major league win on Sunday, holding the Guardians to two runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Faedo survived a shaky first inning in which he allowed a run. He prevented further damage in a bases-loaded, one-out scenario.
"He is fearless," Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said. "He's got some weapons and he's got some competitiveness, which is good. He's not afraid. The moment never speeds up too fast for him. He seems always under control. There is a lot to like with him."
The Guardians won't have Franmil Reyes available for the series, as he was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right hamstring tightness. Outfielder Oscar Gonzalez was promoted from Triple-A Columbus and had two hits in his major league debut on Thursday.
"He's not the finished product," Francona said of Gonzalez. "There (are) going to be mistakes. I just want to make sure it's out of hustle and trying to do the right thing. I just told him, 'Get as many good pitches as you can and try to hit them.'"
The Tigers won the series opener 4-3 on Thursday. They have won two straight since losing five of their previous six contests.
Detroit star Miguel Cabrera had three hits and two RBIs, including the game-winning single in the ninth inning. Cabrera raised his season average to .300 with his eighth multi-hit game of the month.
"Miggy has put up such good at-bats," Hinch said. "That's a good win for us. Miggy sent everyone home happy."

‘Fragile ego’ – Chelsea legend John Terry and Man Utd icon Rio Ferdinand in Twitter feud over best defender list snub
JOHN TERRY and Rio Ferdinand have both accused each other of having 'fragile egos' in an ugly row between the Premier League legends.
The spat was sparked after Manchester United icon Ferdinand only labelled Terry as the fifth-best centre-back in Premier League history.
The Chelsea icon, regarded by many as one of the greatest defenders in the Prem era, fired back "stats don't lie" - and it didn't stop there.
The row started when Ferdinand put THREE Manchester United centre-backs ahead of old England colleague Terry, including himself.
The Old Trafford hero was debating the best central defenders of the Prem era with Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk for BT Sport.
And Ferdinand put himself in top spot, followed by team-mate Nemanja Vidic, Van Dijk at third, Jaap Stam fourth and Terry fifth.
Stamford Bridge stalwart Terry clearly didn't agree.
Taking to his Instagram story Terry posted a picture that contained a variety of stats to back him up.
They included captains with most Prem titles and centre-backs with the highest winning percentage in Prem history.
Both of which were topped by Terry, who captioned the post "opinions are great but the stats don't lie".

Another stat showed Terry's multiple inclusion in the Fifa World XI and another of him on the list of the highest-scoring defenders of all-time.
In response to Terry's Instagram post, Ferdinand turned to Twitter, telling his ex-England colleague to address his "fragile ego" and saying he was lucky to even be included at all.
He said: "@JohnTerry26 The moment one has to start pushing their own records and stats it’s really time to start addressing the fragile ego.
"Your lucky I even put you in the top 5 after the racism case with my brother so be thankful you made it."
Terry wasted little time, firing back: "A fragile Ego is putting yourself at Number 1 @rioferdy5 Thanks for putting me in your top 5."
The original interview that sparked the exchange actually saw Ferdinand heaping praise on Terry.
He said of the Chelsea legend: "In terms of his longevity at that club, what they won, body on the line, a much better footballer than people give him credit for, could play off his left and right foot." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18695724/john-terry-rio-ferdinand-row-chelsea-man-utd/ | 2022-05-27T09:02:20Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18695724/john-terry-rio-ferdinand-row-chelsea-man-utd/ | true | 4 |
General Daily Insight for May 27, 2022
Making sound decisions could be more complicated than it appears at first glance today. As the attuned Moon enters practical Taurus at 2:22 am EDT, we can ground ourselves in the physical world, and we'll probably insist on knowing what works before we do it. However, as passionate Venus squares intense Pluto, our desires may be a crucial part of the equation. If we can push ourselves to be honest rather than manipulative in requesting what we want, we might succeed in getting it.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Impressing someone powerful may be important to you today, perhaps because you want them to support you financially. No matter how capable you are of making a convincing case for your cause, having a realistic sense of your own power might be the most important thing you can do for yourself. Achieving your desired outcome is probably not as dependent on the other person as you think it is, and acknowledging this can help you handle the situation in a more grounded way.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Actions could speak louder than words for you today. When sensual Venus in your secretive 12th house squares overpowering Pluto in your dogmatic 9th house, you might have to admit to yourself that your actual activities are a bit different from what you believe you should be doing. While you may be able to get away with this discrepancy for now, perhaps the more important question is whether you want to live like that indefinitely. Look for a way to be true to yourself.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
An organization you belong to could be giving you a lot to think about now. Although things are likely pleasant on the surface, you might be aware of more complicated interpersonal dynamics underfoot. Either way, it doesn't have to be drama for drama's sake if you can find meaning in it. You may want to take some time by yourself to get all the facts and ponder your position before you discuss your next moves with anyone else. When you're ready, confide carefully.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
A professional relationship could be intense at the moment, as a recent advance in your career might have come with some added costs or obligations for you. Feeling like you must navigate any big changes alone is likely to increase your anxiety about the situation. Talking to friends or even reading advice blogs to get a sense of what's common may be really helpful for you. Learning from the experiences of others should help you avoid getting taken advantage of.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Staying focused on your responsibilities could be difficult today, as the prospect of something more fun probably beckons. That said, if you're able to look at the details of the little stuff, you may get an unexpected reward: a glimpse of your larger professional direction. That might also help you focus long enough to finish whatever you're supposed to be doing. With your to-do list cleared -- or at least subdued -- you can go on to enjoy yourself with fewer reservations.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
Dragging your feet may be a way of asserting yourself, particularly if you feel like you're not getting taken seriously when you merge resources with others. However, situations where you share property or money can actually go better than you think right now, so it could be time to just openly admit what you want. The biggest things that might need to change are your own beliefs and expectations about this kind of collaboration. Take a calculated risk and learn from the results.
Libra
September 23-October 22
You might be a little suspicious of anyone who wants to get close to you now, whether it's a business relationship or a friendship. Deepening your commitment may worry you, even if everything makes sense on paper, because you feel like you'll get sucked into something that could potentially steal your independence. Unraveling your emotions about sharing, which perhaps come from previous bad experiences, might be necessary to help you handle this situation in a way that meets your current needs.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
You may really want chores done your way today, because having attractive surroundings could mean more than it usually would to you. However, make sure that you don't become a petty tyrant toward the people around you regarding your preferences. Though you might be challenged to see that others have their own valid priorities different from yours, hurting a relationship over this is just not worth it. Focus on what is yours to control, and work alone as much as you can.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Impulse purchases could be tempting today, but you're better off looking at the big picture before you buy whatever catches your eye. Spending money you can't really spare to satisfy your emotional needs is likely to lead to disappointment and low funds later. You might find it more rewarding to focus on physical chores that keep you grounded. Being able to point to concrete results after you've accomplished a big task may give your self-esteem a boost that is both sustainable and affordable.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Loosening up may help you get out of a rut in your home life. Though perhaps there's a complicated and long-running power struggle going on, you might need to let go of your end of the issue before the other person feels safe to drop theirs. They could perceive you as having an agenda, whether or not that's true -- maybe you just see yourself as quiet! Expressing yourself freely and openly can dispel any misconceptions that have accumulated over time.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
You probably know how to tell people what they want to hear, allowing you to get what you want at this time. You're attuned to subtle details that others wouldn't necessarily notice, which might help you refine your approach. However, just because you can do something doesn't mean should do it. Make an effort to shore up your own sense of emotional security first, and then see whether or not whatever you were hoping to talk somebody else into is worth the trouble.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Spending money may seem to be the answer to a friendship problem you're currently having. Perhaps you feel intimidated by someone else involved in the situation, whether or not they intended for that to happen. If you haven't tried talking things out, though, you might be able to find a solution that doesn't involve opening your wallet. Having the courage to ask a few questions could reveal that you've assumed something that isn't true, so get the facts as soon as you can. | https://www.courant.com/horoscopes/sns-daily-horoscopes-05272022-20220527-c4o62scw6jenhar4ssxlecew4i-story.html | 2022-05-27T09:03:50Z | https://www.courant.com/horoscopes/sns-daily-horoscopes-05272022-20220527-c4o62scw6jenhar4ssxlecew4i-story.html | true | 10 |

Xpeng’s stock (NYSE: XPEV) published its Q1 2022 results on Tuesday, reporting a narrower than expected loss, although guidance for Q2 fell short of estimates. While revenue for the quarter rose by over 150% year-over-year to RMB 7.455 billion ($1.12 billion), it declined on a sequential basis, due to the impact of the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday in February and Covid-19 lockdowns in China. Xpeng’s gross margins also improved slightly to 12.2%, from 11.2% in the year-ago period, driven by higher economies of scale. However, guidance was lighter than expected, with the company projecting deliveries of between 31,000 and 34,000 units for Q2, marking a decline from the 34,561 units in Q1, although it still represents a growth of over 85% at the mid-point versus last year.
Xpeng stock fell by over 7% in Tuesday trading following the earnings report, with the stock now remaining down by a massive 60% year-to-date, faring worse than rivals Nio (down 56% year-to-date) and Li Auto (down 29% year-to-date). While growth stocks have been out of favor with the markets as investors brace for higher interest rates, there are some specific factors weighing on Xpeng and other Chinese EV players. For one, there are concerns about a slowdown in the Chinese economy. Moreover, there are concerns regarding the potential delisting of Chinese American depositary receipts (ADRs), given the dispute between the U.S. SEC and China relating to the auditing compliance of Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges.
Now despite the plummeting stock price and listing concerns, the outlook for Xpeng’s core business actually appears pretty strong. As we’ve noted before, overall EV demand and favorable regulation in China are a big tailwind for Xpeng. While passenger car sales in China fell by 35.5% year-on-year in April, new energy vehicles, which include electric vehicles, saw volumes rise by 78%, per the China Passenger Car Association. This should partially alleviate concerns that a broader economic slowdown will significantly hit Xpeng’s business. Moreover, consensus estimates for Xpeng’s revenue project a healthy 100% revenue growth this year. The company has also been making deeper inroads into the European market. Xpeng unveiled its flagship P7 sedan in Norway last year, while recently launching its P5 electric sedan, which is seen as a lower-priced rival to Tesla’s Model 3, in markets including Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. The European expansion appears to be well-timed, considering that EV demand in the E.U. is only poised to rise as the bloc looks to cut its dependence on hydrocarbon imports from Russia.

Disney+ dropped the first trailer of Star Wars’ Andor on 27 May. The series is the highly-anticipated spin-off prequel of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and marks the return of Diego Luna as rebel hero Cassian Andor.
The series is set to stream on the platform from 31 August and is the second Star Wars’ show to be streamed in 2022 after Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, the makers of the series will release the first two episodes on the day of the premiere. Andor comprises 24 episodes divided into two parts of 12-episodes each.
Andor: What we know so far
Cassian Andor’s story before his heroic death
Andor is set five years before the Rebellion and focuses on the titular character before he eventually sacrificed himself along with Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) on the planet Scarif, while obtaining the plans, to the Death Star.
“The ‘Andor’ series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make,” reads the official synopsis of the show. “The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved.”
What does the trailer reveal?
The trailer of Andor doesn’t give enough details but succeeds in creating a bleak and tense atmosphere, Star Wars fans would expect to see at a time, when the ruthless Emperor Palpatine is in power.
Cassian Andor, who is a spy, is seen hiding from Imperial Stormtroopers on an unknown planet. A group of people, mostly young, are seen together in a riverine area. It is not clear if they are in hiding but they look up at the sky to see a fiery ship about to crash.
An alarm is raised in a city as a fleet of Imperial forces approach. Residents are seen hiding blasters and drawing down their shutters.
As a group of senior Imperial officers are seen in a meeting, Andor’s voiceover goes: “They’re so proud of themselves. So fat and satisfied.”
The trailer gives fans a glimpse of rebel leader Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) in the Imperial Senate, who ominously says, “They’re watching me now.”
It also shows flashes of skirmishes between the rebels and the Imperial forces.
Other actors in Andor include Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Fiona Shaw.

Cases of COVID-19 are – yet again – on the rise. The U.S. is seeing an average of more than 100,000 reported new cases across the country every day. That's nearly double the rate a month ago and four times higher than this time last year.
And the real number of cases is likely much higher than that, according to health officials. Because many people now rely on at-home tests, "we're clearly undercounting infections," White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha told reporters at the most recent COVID press briefing. Hospitalizations are trending upwards too, though only gradually in most places.
Yet in most places, health officials haven't called for any new COVID restrictions. So how big is the surge, really? And is there anything you should be doing about it?
Measuring the true number of infections
Official undercounts of cases are not exactly a new problem. At the beginning of the pandemic, many cases went undetected because tests were unreliable and supply was limited.
"We saw early on – in March 2020 – that maybe one in 10, maybe one in 12 infections were actually being captured," says Jeffrey Shaman, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University whose lab has worked to model the true number of infections.
Very early research efforts to figure out how many infections were out in the community involved testing a sample of residents for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. As the pandemic progressed, that method didn't work as well, Shaman explains, because antibodies after infection waned over time and because vaccinations complicated the antibody picture.
Shaman's research group turned to using models to estimate the "ascertainment rate" – the portion of real infections that were being captured in official case counts. That rate has fluctuated – at the end of 2020, they estimated one in four cases were being counted. During the omicron surge it was closer to one in six.
Now with the advent of at-home rapid tests that aren't reported to health departments, Shaman thinks the true number of cases may be in the ballpark of eight times higher than case counts. In other words, instead of 100,000 new cases a day, the true number may be 800,000 cases per day.
Take that estimate with a giant grain of salt, he advises. It's getting harder to get a firm handle on the current ascertainment rate.
Wastewater surveillance sites across the country reinforce the idea that the virus is on the rise. More than half of sites have seen "modest increases" in levels of virus according to CDC, although the system doesn't cover the whole country and is not yet set up to offer people an ongoing estimate of the true number of cases beyond official counts.
All of this is a predictable consequence of having easy, ubiquitous at-home tests, says Gigi Gronvall, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
"For people to have that information at their fingertips to be able to get the results that they need so that they can act on them immediately – that's totally worth it," she says. But it does come at the expense of the data, "and so you have to infer that there are higher numbers of cases than are being reported."
The next surge could be worse
As an epidemiologist, this uncertainty is not ideal, says Katelyn Jetelina, adjunct professor at University of Texas Health Science Center, who writes the Your Local Epidemiologist newsletter. And even if case counts are much higher than they appear, this summer may not see a health care crisis like previous surges, she says.
As the weather warms up and people spend more time outdoors, "transmission is a lot less because of the ventilation outside," she says. Also, after the massive surge of infections from the omicron variant, she says, "we just have such high levels of infection-induced immunity that we have a very high immunity wall," something CDC has estimated as well. Basically, if someone has had a recent infection they're less likely to get infected again, so the virus might not be able to spread as much or make people as sick.
The country's current population-level immunity is one of the reasons Maciej Boni, a professor of biology at Penn State's Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics says it makes sense for policymakers to hold back on rolling out mitigation measures for now.
"The reason is that we're going to exhaust people's patience and potentially exhaust certain health resources [and] political capital that we want to have saved up for when we really need it," he says.
He predicts a much more dangerous surge is coming in the fall and winter. That's when he thinks health officials should start to ramp "the new set of measures that's likely going to be required to get case numbers down," he explains.
Jetelina agrees that the country is unlikely to make big moves at the moment. "I don't see I don't see sweeping policy changes until the virus has another omicron-like event or a huge mutation," she says.
Figure out what's happening with the virus where you are
While public health officials may not be raising the alarm over the rise in cases, health researchers agree that certain people should take notice of the fact of the current, partly invisible surge: older people who haven't been vaccinated or boosted recently.
"That's the low-hanging fruit here," Jetelina says. "Just get the vaccine. Go get your booster. Don't think very hard about it." Nearly one third of people older than 65 who are eligible for a booster haven't received one according to CDC's vaccination tracker – despite clear evidence that it reduces risks of hospitalizations and death.
Higher-risk people generally should be more careful if cases are getting high. But with official reports of case counts from health agencies missing so much data, how do you figure out how bad COVID transmission is in your community?
Just as when a storm's predicted you might watch the meteorologist on TV but also step outside to look at the sky, so public health experts say, it's smart to tune into both official and anecdotal signals of surging cases.
Do keep an eye on case counts (knowing they are only capturing a portion of the true cases out there), and hospitalizations, and listen to public health officials. But also pay attention to the texts from friends and coworkers telling you they've gotten COVID-19.
"That anecdotal evidence could be useful in making decisions, too," Jetelina says. If there seems to be a sudden spike, you'll know there's more virus circulating where you live.
Another signal to look for: If your workplace or kids' school does surveillance testing – that is regular tests of everyone, even people who aren't symptomatic – that can be really helpful for keeping a pulse on what's happening with the virus locally.
"Where I am in Miami-Dade County, there's still municipal employees that may need to test regularly, and we might get some kind of underlying signal of when we're having a surge," says epidemiologist Zinzi Bailey of the University of Miami.
Bailey also likes using COVID-19 hospitalization data as a proxy for what's happening in her community.
"I look at my local hospitalizations, and if they're starting to tick upwards, I modify my behavior accordingly – I'm going to be taking a little bit more attention in terms of masking, I'm going to be paying a little bit more attention about what indoor spaces I'm choosing to be in and how often I'm going to do that," she says.
Jetelina uses trendlines in case counts to make decisions for her own family. "My ears start perking up [when there's] anything over a 50-75% increase in the past two weeks," she says. Looking at case trend lines, if the line is "just starting to slowly creep up, then then fine, but if the acceleration is getting faster and faster, that's when something seems up to me."
Then there's grabbing a raincoat when weather's foreboding – i.e., getting your vaccine protection, or getting boosted if you're not up-to-date. Even though its easy to make an appointment at a pharmacy, fewer than half of Americans who got their initial vaccines still haven't gotten the first booster that was authorized in the fall. And now a second booster is available to anyone over 50.
Beyond vaccination, if the virus is spreading a lot in your community right now, anyone who's high-risk because of age or underlying conditions – or lives with someone who is – would be smart to dial up on personal COVID-19 precautions: being selective about time in public spaces indoors and wearing a high quality well-fitting mask when you do.

It’s finally here. Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 is now out in the wild and features hours of new content and as per previous seasons, lots of great new original and licensed music. Let’s break down the soundtrack for Stranger Things season 4 here!
As a reminder, Stranger Things is quite iconic for its music. Going all the way back to the first season in 2016, we saw tracks like Africa by Toto, Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash, and Fields of Gold by Vangelis break out. Subsequent seasons have been soundtracked by the likes of the Never Ending Story theme song, September by Earth Wind and Fire, Baba O’Reilly by The Who, and plenty more.
Season 4’s original soundtrack continues to be composed by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein. They notably composed the intro song to the show and our personal favorite here at What’s on Netflix, Kids.
They’ve done their job over the years in “finding a perfect sweet spot between ’80s nostalgia and modern, spectral synth work” which has no doubt contributed to the success of the show.
Let’s waste no further time in getting into the soundtrack for Stranger Things season 4:

The Edmonton Oilers are off to the Western Conference final.
Connor McDavid scored at 5:03 of overtime as the Oilers defeated the host Calgary Flames 5-4 on Thursday to win their second-round playoff series 4-1.
The Edmonton captain fired his seventh goal of the post-season past Jacob Markstrom off a pass from Leon Draisaitl to send the Oilers spilling over the bench in celebration.
Zach Hyman, with a goal and two assists, Darnell Nurse, Jesse Puljujarvi and Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers. Mike Smith made 32 saves as Edmonton claimed the first post-season Battle of Alberta in 31 years.
Draisaitl added four assists — his fifth straight contest registering three-plus points to build on the NHL playoff record he set in Game 4.
McDavid and Draisaitl have both amassed 26 points to lead the playoffs so far.
tweet
The Oilers will face either the Colorado Avalanche or St. Louis Blues in their first conference final appearance since 2006. Colorado leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Friday in St. Louis.
Mikael Backlund, with a goal and an assist, Johnny Gaudreau, Calle Jarnkrok and Andrew Mangiapane replied for Calgary. Blake Coleman added two assists, while Jacob Markstrom made 30 saves as the Flames dropped to 0-10 when trailing a playoff series 3-1.
Coleman, who won the Cup the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning, appeared to snap a 4-4 tie with just under six minutes left in regulation after Backlund took the puck hard to Edmonton’s net. But the goal was waved off following a video review after it was ruled the winger kicked the puck over Smith’s goal line with his skate as he battled with Oilers defenceman Cody Ceci.
With his team trailing 1-0 after a tentative first period, Edmonton interim head coach Jay Woodcroft double-shifted Draisaitl and McDavid early in the second, and it nearly paid off on a couple of good opportunities.
But the Flames, who topped the Oilers by seven points in the regular season to claim the Pacific Division crown, went up 2-0 at 5:41 when Backlund scored his fifth on a slick deflection.
The Oilers got on the board at 7:40 after Draisaitl protected the puck against Backlund before finding Nurse in the slot for him to fire his second past a screened Markstrom.
Edmonton tied it up just 2:26 later on a 3-on-1 rush when Markstrom could only get a piece of Hyman’s shot before Puljujarvi swept home his second as the Oilers erased another multi-goal deficit on the road.
The offensive floodgates then really opened over a wild stretch that would see four pucks find the back of the net in 71 seconds.
Hyman scored his sixth goal of the series, and eighth of the post-season, on a power play at 14:57 before Gaudreau tied things again at 3-3 at 15:12 with his third.
Jarnkrok then scored his first as a member of the Flames since coming over in a trade with the Seattle Kraken at 15:28 to make it 4-3.
But the Oilers responded again at 16:08 when Bouchard’s blast beat Markstrom for his second as the teams set an NHL record for the fastest four goals in playoff history — 22 seconds faster than the previous mark set by the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs in 1976.
READ MORE: Calgary Flames want to extend Battle of Alberta in NHL playoffs, avoid elimination
Following a tepid start for both teams inside a nervous Scotiabank Saddledome, the Flames nudged in front at 10:13 of the first when Mangiapane took a terrific pass from Coleman to bury his third goal of the playoffs.
The winger’s first point of the series gave his team its first lead since late in the second period of Game 2 — a stretch of exactly 155 minutes — that started a run of three straight losses to push Calgary to the brink of elimination.
One of three finalists for the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie in the regular season, Markstrom entered Thursday with an .850 save percentage in the series after posting a .943 mark in Calgary’s seven-game victory over the Dallas Stars in the opening round.
After the Oilers, who beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 to set up the matchup with their provincial rival, killed off a McDavid high-sticking penalty, the Flames goaltender had to scramble to keep the Edmonton captain’s dash to the net at bay with the puck briefly lying free in Calgary’s crease.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was today given clean chit by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the drugs-on-cruise case, due to "lack of sufficient evidence".
The NCB said no drugs were found on Aryan Khan and there was no "substantial evidence" to charge him and five others.
Fourteen other accused have been charged by the anti-drugs agency.
Reacting to the development, Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik's daughter Sana Malik Shaikh tweeted, "Farziwada exposed! Truth always prevails!".
Farziwada exposed!
— Ar. Sana Malik-Shaikh (@sanamalikshaikh) May 27, 2022
Truth always prevails!#NawabMalik#Farziwada#AryanKhanhttps://t.co/ZzZwTty8H2
After the arrest of Aryan Khan last year in October, Nawab Malik's frequent controversial allegations against Sameer Wankhede made him a household name.
Nawab Malik had last year alleged that the raid onboard a Mumbai cruise was "forgery", and it was carried out at the behest of the BJP to frame Aryan Khan.
Further referring to the Sushant Singh Rajput case, the Maharashtra minister said that attempts were made to malign the name of Bollywood.
Mr Malik was arrested on February 23, 2022 in connection with a money laundering case linked to the fugitive terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.
The husband of Nawab Malik's other daughter, Nilofar Malik Khan, was also arrested in January 2021 by a NCB team led by Sameer Wankhede, for alleged possession of drugs. Sameer Khan was granted bail on September 27, after eight months in prison.
The Malik family had claimed that Sameer's arrest was "politically motivated". | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/drugs-case-truth-always-prevails-ministers-daughter-on-aryan-khan-clean-chit-3014380 | 2022-05-27T09:28:08Z | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/drugs-case-truth-always-prevails-ministers-daughter-on-aryan-khan-clean-chit-3014380 | true | 1 |

According to USGS, the earthquake struck at a depth of 9 km just over 5 miles from the town of Garland in the eastern portion of the state. This event is the strongest earthquake measured in Tennessee this month. Last week, 3 earthquakes struck the state: a 2.1 near Ridgely and both a 2.0 and 1.6 near Tiptonville. Earthquakes that hit nearby in Missouri, Georgia, and Arkansas were also felt in the state over the last 2 weeks. While these earthquakes are light and scattered around the Tennessee, scientists want people prepare should something far stronger strike. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2612725029840/tennessee-gas-prices-up-eight-cents | 2022-05-27T09:31:58Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2612725029840/tennessee-gas-prices-up-eight-cents | false | null |
SINGAPORE - Mirxes, a biotechnology company based in Singapore and a spin-off from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star), has opened the first Industry 4.0 (i4.0) in vitro diagnostics manufacturing facility in South-east Asia.
At 15,000 sq ft, this facility at JTC MedTech Hub in Jurong is the largest in the region.
Up to 50 people will also be employed on-site by next year, an increase of 66.7 per cent.
The firm is investing $8 million to produce diagnostic test kits in vitro, which means outside the living body and in an artificial environment.
It is a timely investment for the company as it accelerates the development and commercialisation of its pipeline of early detection test kits that are powered by microRNA (miRNA) technology.
Dr Zhou Lihan, co-founder and chief executive, said the new facility will further the firm's ambitions to develop and commercialise early detection tests for cancers.
The biotech firm has reported before that it intends to commercialise up to six more early detection test kits for cancer over the next six years.
Early detection tests for lung and thyroid cancer will be launched this year, with colorectal and breast cancer diagnostic tests coming up next year, and liver and ovarian cancer test kits in 2024.
Dr Zhou added that diagnostic tests for pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases are also in the pipeline.
The facility will also support the growth of the company's life sciences and infectious diseases portfolio.
"This first-of-its kind facility in South-east Asia will equip the company with the ability to address the next big challenge in healthcare - cancer, and stay prepared should we need to combat another epidemic," Dr Zhou said.
In 2019, it launched GastroClear, the first blood-based early detection test for stomach cancer.
The test detects cancer by measuring biomarkers called miRNA found in blood.
Mirxes has also harnessed miRNA technology to develop the first made-in-Singapore test kit for Covid-19.
Dr Zhou said the facility will increase Singapore's capabilities in advanced manufacturing and create more high skilled jobs for the industry.
Mirxes will work together with A*Star's Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) to co-develop Industry 4.0 solutions for in vitro diagnostics and research use only innovations.
Dr David Low, CEO of ARTC, said the collaboration will accelerate the adoption of advanced manufacturing solutions and facilitate manufacturing at scale.
The Mirxes' facility has the ability to scale up to five in-parallel production lines, as it uses a seamless plug and play infrastructure system.
This would create a substantial tripling of capacity and output within each product line.
The biomedical cluster is an integral part of Singapore's manufacturing sector.
According to the Economic Development Board, the biomedical manufacturing sector now makes up 16.9 per cent of manufacturing output.
Mr Peter Ong, chairman of Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), said Mirxes' investment in i4.0-enabled manufacturing capabilities will set the bar for the rest of the industry and contribute to Singapore's Manufacturing 2030 ambitions to grow a strong core of global manufacturers that offer innovative and distinctive solutions for the global markets.
Mirxes is part of EnterpriseSG's Scale-up SG programme, which helps high-growth local companies scale rapidly and groom them into future global champions.
Since its participation in 2020, the biotech firm has been working closely with EnterpriseSG to explore and capture opportunities in South-east Asia, including in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
The firm already has operations in China, Japan and the US. | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/biotech-firm-mirxes-opens-southeast-asias-first-industry-40-facility-in-singapore | 2022-05-27T09:33:53Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/biotech-firm-mirxes-opens-southeast-asias-first-industry-40-facility-in-singapore | true | 1 |
The mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y. last Saturday has renewed the debate over the minimum age for legally purchasing what some people — such as President Biden, call "weapons of war."
An 18-year-old is accused of driving to a supermarket and targeting African Americans as he opened fire, killing 10 people. He's charged with first-degree murder in a shooting authorities describe as racially-motivated domestic terrorism.
Police say he used a semi-automatic rifle called the Bushmaster XM-15, which he bought legally at a licensed gun store, after passing a background check.
In a statement investigators believe the 18-year-old wrote and posted online, he says he modified the rifle in ways that would make it illegal under New York's definition of "assault weapons."
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed Wednesday to address domestic terrorism and gun violence by establishing a new state law enforcement unit focused on domestic terrorism, among other steps.
But one question remains: Should an 18-year-old be allowed to buy a semi-automatic rifle?
In the last couple of years, California, Florida and Washington state have responded to the string of mass shootings by young men by raising the minimum age to buy certain kinds of rifles, such as the Bushmaster.
Gun rights groups, meanwhile, have sued, calling this a violation of young adults' Second Amendment rights.
Last week, a panel of three federal judges in California agreed, overturning the higher minimum age approved by the state last year.
"There's a big fight brewing over these restrictions on guns for 18, 19, and 20-year-olds because the courts are in the midst of a great expansion of Second Amendment gun rights," says Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor who writes about gun policy.
The author of the California law, state Sen. Anthony Portantino, says he hopes the state attorney general appeals the federal ruling.
"It makes sense to appeal. This is a fight worth fighting, and again, look at what happened in Buffalo," he says. "You have to be 25 to rent a car. You have to be 21 to drink. Why would we put a semi-automatic rifle in the hands of a teenager?
Some people age 18-25 who own guns feel like it's discrimination to limit age on gun ownership
But to people in that age group who own guns, this feels like discrimination.
"I would point out that drinking and driving a car aren't constitutionally protected," says Evan Jones, a gun enthusiast in Texas who just recently turned 22.
"Eighteen to 21-year-olds, they have all the same rights and responsibilities as any other adult. And it's not fair to single out and deprive them of one right," he says.
Historically, the courts have limited such rights. "The threshold test is what's called 'strict scrutiny,' " says Jeffrey Fagan, a law professor at Columbia University who specializes in gun laws. "It's got to be a compelling governmental interest to limit the right."
For that, advocates of a higher minimum age point to brain science.
"We know from lots of studies around motor vehicles and drinking and other common types of injuries that this age group is still developing its frontal lobe, impulse control, judgment," says Megan Ranney, an emergency physician and academic dean at the School of Public Health at Brown University.
Gun rights advocates, on the other hand, say brain science arguments don't justify taking away the right to armed self-defense from a whole age group.
Matt Larosiere is with the Firearms Policy Coalition, which led the challenge to California's law. He says it's bad enough that federal law bans adults under age 21 from buying handguns from licensed dealers; he says it's worse when states bar that same age group from buying rifles and other long guns.
"States pass these 18-to-21 rifle bans, and it eliminates completely the ability of young adults of the mechanism of defending themselves," he says. And, he argues that young adults may actually rely on that right more than older people.
"There are plenty of young adults in America who are quite often lower-income, or otherwise disadvantaged, not just financially," Larosiere says. "And those are the same people who are the most likely to be violently victimized, and the people most likely in need of an effective mechanism to protect themselves,"
This legal tension has yet to be resolved. Just last year, a federal judge upheld Florida's new, age-based law limiting gun sales — but he also called this age question "a constitutional no man's land."
We may get more clarity on this from a pending Supreme Court case about gun control in New York. That case also weighs individual rights against societal risk, and if the ruling is broad enough, legal experts say it could tell us how the new conservative majority might come down on the idea of limiting gun rights by age.

A former member of the Canadian national gymnastics team wrote a public letter accusing the country’s 2016 Olympic coach of inappropriate and unwanted touching.
The letter by Abby Pearson Spadafora, 38, revealed the latest in a long series of allegations of sexual, emotional and physical abuse by coaches Dave and Elizabeth Brubaker, who have been banned by Gymnastics Canada. Spadafora accused the coach of climbing into bed with her and of reaching his hand underneath her shirt.
“The abuse never stopped,” Spadafora wrote in her letter released Thursday. “My male coach would regularly snap the back of my sports bras when I started wearing them. I was taught that gaining weight and puberty were a bad thing. Injuries were rarely taken seriously, and I was taught to hide the pain.”
Spadafora said she started training 25 to 35 hours a week at age 7, and was weighed twice a day.
“This is when the grooming began that led to years of abuse,” she said of her training, which began around 1991.
A group of 11 gymnasts, including Spadafora, have come forward to detail abuses at the Bluewater Gymnastics Club in Ontario. They took part in an investigation by Gymnastics Canada that led to the Brubakers’ bans. Spadafora and another athlete have criticized the investigation. saying it retraumatized them because they were urged not to say anything publicly for fear it would be used against them in the hearing process.
Some 480 athletes have signed a petition asking the Canadian government to commission an independent third-party investigation into abuses at the club.
Dave Brubaker, who coached the Canadian Olympic team in 2016, was found not guilty of sexual assault and sexual exploitation in 2019 after the judge in the case involving a former gymnast disclosed that the officer investigating Brubaker was related to the alleged victim.
His lifetime ban from Gymnastics Canada, and his wife’s ban through Jan. 18, 2024, was handed down earlier this year after a disciplinary panel confirmed 54 counts of misconduct by the Brubakers. The Brubakers initially appealed their bans, but in March withdrew the appeals.
The attorney who represented the Brubakers in the sexual assault trial, Patrick Ducharme, did not immediately return an email from The Associated Press.
In her open letter, Spadafora said the abuse was mostly physical in the early years. She described an episode in which her coach put her in a handstand on a low bar, 5 feet off the ground, then pushed her hands off the bar to force her to crash into the mat headfirst.
“He repeated this several times and not once did he check me for a concussion,” she wrote. “I was eleven! I was petrified and wanted to cry, but I knew I couldn’t for fear of retribution.”
The advocacy group Global Athlete released a statement saying Spadafora should be applauded for the bravery to come forward and tell her story.
“Her brave stance in sharing her lived experience must be shared to stop such normalized behavior,” the statement said. | https://www.informnny.com/sports/canadian-gymnast-tells-of-sexual-emotional-abuse-by-coach/ | 2022-05-27T09:43:40Z | https://www.informnny.com/sports/canadian-gymnast-tells-of-sexual-emotional-abuse-by-coach/ | true | 30 |

CALEXICO — Arturo Jimenez, assistant superintendent of human resources in the Westminster School District, was selected as the new Calexico Unified School District superintendent by a 4-0 vote of the district board on Thursday, May 26.
As both a strong communicator and Spanish speaker, Jimenez fosters a deep sense of collaboration and brings a trajectory of success to this new role, according to a Calexico Unified press release.
His ability to listen and unite people are trademarks of his leadership style that will elevate the district’s mission to “increase student achievement through a purposeful and effective instructional program that engages all students in academically rigorous learning,” the press release states.
“Based on Mr. Jimenez’s impressive track record, it was clear to the board that he is the perfect person to lead CUSD into the future,” board President Lorenzo Calderon stated in the release. “His reputation as both a problem solver and collaborator assures that our district will pull together to build on our rich tradition of excellent student-centered programs and services. I do not doubt that Mr. Jimenez will be embraced by our students, employees, parents, and the greater Calexico community.”
Jimenez earned his master’s in education administration from Alliant International University and his Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from Chapman University. His career in public education spans 30 years as an instructional assistant, teacher, principal, director, and assistant superintendent.
Since 2017, he has served as assistant superintendent in the Westminster district. Under his leadership in Westminster, an array of strategic initiatives have been developed, including Interest-Based Bargaining, oversight of the School Safety Task Force, and Alternative Dispute Resolution as a certified mediator, according to the press release.
Prior to his tenure in Westminster, Jimenez served as director of human resources in the Santa Ana Unified School District. His 21 years in Santa Ana also included assignments as director of constituency services, elementary principal, assistant principal, program coordinator, and classroom teacher.
The board would like to extend its appreciation to Jimenez and each applicant who demonstrated an interest in the position. Trustees also express their gratitude to CUSD cabinet members, employees, parents, students, and community members who provided invaluable input.
“As we prepare for the opportunities, challenges, and post-COVID hurdles our district faces,” President Calderon stated, “the journey is bright with Mr. Jimenez at the helm.”
Dr. Brian Thurman will continue to serve as Calexico’s interim superintendent until Jimenez arrives in early July. In the ensuing weeks, Jimenez will work closely with Thurman to ensure a seamless transition for all those involved, the release states.
“As a first-generation Mexican-American, the son of migrant farmworkers, I have personally lived the American dream and know the impact education makes in life,” Jimenez stated in the release. “Calexico’s story is my story, and I feel honored and privileged to become part of this wonderful community.” | https://holtvilletribune.com/2022/05/26/calexico-unified-board-selects-new-superintendent/ | 2022-05-27T09:44:36Z | https://holtvilletribune.com/2022/05/26/calexico-unified-board-selects-new-superintendent/ | false | 2 |

An apprenticeship has started at ATU in Sligo with the aim of addressing the shortage of HGV drivers in the country.
The launch of a new Transport Operations and Commercial
Driving apprenticeship, the first on the national framework of
qualifications linked with the profession of Heavy Goods Vehicle driving took place yesterday.
Launched by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD, and Minister of State at the Department of Transport with special responsibility for International and Road Transport and Logistics, Hildegarde Naughton, the new two-year programme will provide the opportunity for employees to “earn as they learn” to gain a Higher Education qualification as well as their professional driving qualification.
The apprenticeship is backed by a range of key stakeholders, including lead proposer Freight Transport Association Ireland, Co-ordinating provider Atlantic Technological University, the Health and Safety Authority, Insurance Ireland and CILT Ireland.
Launching the new apprenticeship, Minister Harris said; “Twelve months ago, Aidan and colleagues came to meet Minister Naughton and I to discuss this new Transport Operations and Commercial Driver Apprenticeship. And a year later, we are here announcing it has finally commenced. That is what we need- industry and education working together to address the skills shortages we have. Under this programme, apprentices are employed by a business for the duration of the two –year programme and will earn as
they learn. But in addition to this, apprentices will participate in lectures in ATU Sligo. This is good news for our economy, good news for businesses and good news for education.”
Minister Naughton said she hoped the apprenticeship programme will help tackle the shortage of HGV drivers and attract more women drivers;
“This apprenticeship will be a key step forward in tackling our current shortage of HGV drivers. I hope this apprenticeship programme will serve as a springboard for the diversification of the workforce in the haulage and freight sector and to attract more women into the industry. Just 2% of HGV drivers licences are held by women, so the only way is up.”
Aidan Flynn, Chief Executive at FTA Ireland, added; “Road transport is critical to the continued success of Ireland’s supply chain, since it accounts for almost 99% of inland freight movements across the country. Yet the pressures on talent to join other careers is placing increasing pressure on recruitment for the sector, which is now struggling to recruit a diverse workforce and has suffered long standing skills shortages as a result.
President of Atlantic Technological University, Dr Orla Flynn said: “Atlantic TU is committed to providing accessible Higher Education opportunities across all levels of the NFQ. This new apprenticeship is an example of a strong partnership with industry, that builds on our experience of programme design incorporating work based learning and online teaching. We are confident that this unique programme will address a national skills shortage, by ensuring that our graduates will be equipped with the technical and business skills that are needed to excel in a dynamic and progressive industry sector.” | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/sligochampion/news/new-sligo-apprenticeship-to-help-tackle-the-shortage-of-hgv-drivers-41694958.html | 2022-05-27T09:56:05Z | https://www.independent.ie/regionals/sligochampion/news/new-sligo-apprenticeship-to-help-tackle-the-shortage-of-hgv-drivers-41694958.html | true | 1 |
This article is reprinted by permission from NextAvenue.org.
If you are a boomer or Gen Xer and have wondered why your millennial and Gen Z colleagues work the ways they do, you can be pretty sure they’re wondering the same thing about you.
But in their new book, “Gentelligence,” Miami University management professor Megan Gerhardt (a 45-year-old Gen Xer in Ohio) and 26-year-old millennials Josephine Nachemson-Ekwall (a Citi senior vice president in New York City) and Brandon Fogel (a University of Nebraska-Lincoln doctoral student) have a few ideas to make intergenerational workforces work better.
I recently Zoomed with all three for their somewhat surprising advice about “gentelligence,” a portmanteau of generation and intelligence that Gerhardt coined in 2017 to help reframe the conversation about older and younger workers.
“There is a lot of power and opportunity in the idea of collaborative intelligence that comes from generational diversity,” Gerhardt told me. She said she and her co-authors felt that if they could shift the way managers and employees think about the generations at work, “perhaps together we could accomplish more than we could separately.”
Following are highlights from our conversation.
Richard Eisenberg: What was it like to work together on the book as members of different generations?
Brandon Fogel: I think throughout the experience, there were times where we were able to build on the individual strengths that each other provided.
I had never heard the phrase ‘latchkey kid’ to describe Gen X. So, I think I grew a greater appreciation for other generations from the opportunity to work with Megan. And I think we were able to provide different perspectives that she might not have considered on her own as well.
Eisenberg: So, were there cases, Brandon or Josephine, where, you said about Megan: ‘Why does she do it that way? Or I wish she would do it the way I do it?’
Megan Gerhardt: Every day, Richard.
Josephine Nachemson-Ekwall: I think one of the things that helped in this process was that Megan and I think similarly on some level, and then we think differently in other areas.
Because of the wealth of knowledge and expertise, Megan put it all out there and it was very comprehensive and thorough. And I came in and I was like, ‘But what is the point? What is the why? How do we tell a story? How does it all fit together?’
And at no point did I mean or imply or want to criticize what we had there; it was just about telling the story in a different way.
Eisenberg: Megan, what’s your take on all that?
Gerhardt: I chose Brandon and Josephine specifically because I know how good they are and because they do think very differently from me.
Originally, the idea was this was my book, with Josephine and Brandon guest starring. And very quickly I said, ‘You know, we really all need to be co-authors, you’re contributing so much.’
And secondly, I could ask them, as millennials: ‘What do you think you do differently? And can you help people understand why?’
And I wanted to know: What would a millennial take from this book? It needed to be a book for baby boomers, for Gen Z, for anybody in between. And you have to have all the voices at the table to do that.
Eisenberg: There is an implicit public assumption of a war between the generations, particularly in the workplace. How valid is that?
Gerhardt: That is an assumption perpetuated largely by the media. The research would tell us that most people say that they find value in working with people across generations; it is a reality for them.
I think when you dig into the personal level, though, people also are showing us that they feel their generation is misunderstood, that there are generalizations that aren’t accurate which make them defensive. And that they don’t feel their organizations or their leadership have a good handle on how to appreciate, value and leverage what each generation might be bringing to the table.
Workplace diversity training rarely touches on age
Nachemson-Ekwall: I just wanted to add one thing, which is the lack of diversity training in the workplace around this topic. Age difference is very often left out of that conversation. It is quite a missed opportunity for an organization to not plug this in more purposely in their diversity and inclusion strategies.
Eisenberg: Why don’t more employers do it? Only 8% of diversity engagement and inclusion statements by employers include age.
Nachemson-Ekwall: It’s possible that organizations are not yet equipped to initiate these conversations.
Gerhardt: Let’s recognize that growing up in a different period of time does give you a very different perspective. It’s like growing up in a different country, right? Our most successful way to look at this is as a layer of identity. And then we start adding in things like socioeconomic status. Millennials are stereotyped as entitled; that’s much more of a story for a high-socioeconomic millennial than one that didn’t have means.
Eisenberg: In the book, you say that intergenerational teams at work can be an utter disaster, a transformational breakthrough in the diversity of thought or somewhere in between, depending on how teams are led and managed. What can make an intergenerational team a disaster and what can make one transformational?
Gerhardt: If we leave our intergenerational teams to their own devices, we will likely experience what many of us have, which is conflict, miscommunication and frustration. But the research also shows that we could turn around that dynamic. With a gentelligence strategy, we could have intergenerational teams that are more successful than like-age teams.
That requires creating an age climate that is supportive of learning happening from both directions. As an older person, it shouldn’t be strange or unusual that Brandon and Josephine have a lot of things to teach me, nor should I be worried about asking them to help me.

‘Fluid’ knowledge versus ‘crystallized’ knowledge
Eisenberg: I think many of us believe younger people can help older people with technology and older people can help younger people by saying: ‘We’ve tried that before’ or ‘Here’s my recommendation based on my experience.’ Are those fair examples of what each can teach each other? Or are they stereotypical?
Gerhardt: They may be a little bit of both. We tag our millennials and our Gen Zs and say, ‘They’re our go-to for technology.’ But what we found was that younger people tend to rely on a different kind of knowledge than older people. Younger people tend to lean into what’s called ‘fluid knowledge’ — which is, ‘What’s the newest thing?’
Older people rely on crystallized knowledge — your example of, ‘Well, let me tell you when we did that in the past and why it didn’t work’ or ‘let me tell you what my go-to is.’ The real gentelligence magic is when you combine fluid and crystallized knowledge. So, when Brandon shares with me this great new tool that he’s been using and I say, ‘OK, but how would that supplement the way that I do it to make it easier for me to do what I know is the right thing to do?’
Eisenberg: My experience has been that younger people often prefer to communicate by texting and older people tend to be more comfortable emailing or picking up the phone. Is it fair to describe the generations that way? And if it is, how do you reconcile those different ways of communication?
Nachemson-Ekwall: When you work together, it’s about setting up a protocol.
Gerhardt: It’s not ‘my way’ or ‘your way.’ But when you’re deciding on your shared team norm, younger generations prefer to know ‘Why is that our norm?’ This idea that, ‘Well, that’s just the rule, Josephine; we don’t text at work,’ immediately, younger people are going to think: ‘That’s an archaic rule. Someone who doesn’t know how to text made that rule, and they’re not understanding how that’s limiting my productivity.’
So, if we’re going to really leverage the potential here, let’s sit down and have that conversation about ‘Well, I’m not familiar with Slack. Can you help me understand why we would want to use that instead of email?’
And if it’s explained to me that I have a much higher likelihood of people seeing and responding to my message on Slack, I might be on board with that. If we’ve learned anything doing these interviews [for the book], when you’re talking across generations you always need to stop and think: ‘Are they going to interpret that the same way I am? ‘And if not, that’s where we’re going to fall into struggle and conflict.

The unexpected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Eisenberg: Do you feel that the pandemic made things harder or easy or different for intergenerational organizations to work well together?
Nachemson-Ekwall: I think people assumed going into this pandemic that younger people were going to have no problem transferring into using technology and that the older generation was going to struggle. What became evident fairly quickly is that the people that struggled were the younger ones, not because of the technology, but because of the social aspect of work that they were missing out on and being isolated and working from home.
On the other hand, the older generation, I think, has fared fairly well. They already had all of their connections in the workplace and just transferred those conversations online.
Eisenberg: Megan, any thoughts about how the pandemic has affected intergenerational workforces for better or for worse?
Gerhardt: Older workers may have been very loyal to one organization prior to the pandemic, because that is a generational norm for the baby boomer generation. The script is changing. The great resignation for the baby boomer generation is happening. They’re starting those second- or third-act careers. They’re leaving their current organizations because they don’t feel valued and appreciated.
The pandemic gave everybody a chance to catch their breath and say: ‘Is this where I want to spend the next 10, 15, 20 years?’ So, now we have this amazing opportunity for companies to get an entirely new workforce of experienced workers — older workers who want to take what they’ve learned and maybe bring it to a new place and learn something new themselves.

Eisenberg: Brandon, any advice you want to give people who are over 50 on how they could work better and differently with younger generations?
Fogel: I think the biggest missed opportunity working with people from different generations is not starting with a foundation of respect — saying: ‘We are here together with the same shared goal to accomplish the same shared task.’ And if you start from there, (it becomes) really easy to better understand what each other expect from each other.
Eisenberg: Josephine, anything you want to add?
Nachemson-Ekwall: There’s great opportunity for the older generation to pass along how to get things done in the workplace, how to get people on your agenda, how the culture of the organization is embedded and what actually is important.
So, reframe the institutional knowledge you have as an older person and try to step away from saying ‘I’m really good at giving people advice, because I know what won’t work.’ That’s not really actually the value that you’re adding.
You’re actually helping people get things done, create change, helping people see the organization for what it is and helping people operate within it effectively.
Gerhardt: It’s all about establishing mutual respect. If Brandon came to me and said, ‘This what I want to do’ and if I immediately say, ‘Well, let me tell you all the reasons that’s not going to work,’ they shut off. But if we are open to asking other people ‘How would you do this? I’m interested in your perspective’ and you start with ‘Here’s our goal. How would you do it?’ I’m already signaling that I respect who they are. I respect their perspective.
I’m not giving them carte blanche to make the decision. Once I listen and think about what they’ve had to say, I might add: ‘Here are a couple of questions I think we’re going to need to ask because we might run into a couple of challenges based on my experience. So let’s talk through how we would navigate around those.’
Immediately, they are going to definitely be more interested in listening to me because I first listened to them. That’s Leadership 101.
We’re not asking older people to substitute the younger person’s way of doing it for their own. You’re adding it. And then we get to open up this two-way conversation where we’re both probably going to learn and teach each other something. So, be curious and seek out input as a way to learn, but also to build trust.

Are you getting ready for some summer fun? If so, get ready to spend more money.
Just as we started getting back to normal summer activities, after two years of pandemic-limited activities, inflation is now making summer fun more expensive than ever.
Mom Melissa Taylor, while watching her kids play in a local water park, says she's struggling with the soaring costs of things like football camp.
"This is our first year doing football camp, and it is $300 for a week," she said.
Combine that with inflated gas prices, and this mom says she is really watching the spending right now.
"I have 4 kids," she said, "so i am thinking about going to places where it is just $20 to $30 for activities."
Prices are up on so many things
We're not even talking about prices at summer destinations like Disney and Universal, where a day ticket can cost $150.
Prices are up on local activities, from camps to pools to museums too. We looked at ten U.S. cities to get an idea of what people are paying for summer fun.
On average, spending looks like this:
- A single zoo ticket is $25.
- A museum ticket is $10.
- A regional theme park ticket is $38.
Marketing professor Melissa Akaka of the University of Denver says high demand is driving up ticket prices.
"There is definitely pent-up demand for getting out and doing things with your family and with your friends," she said.
The labor shortage, meantime, is affecting prices for summer activities like sports leagues and summer camps, as those organizations now have to pay more for counselors and other staffers.
"If they can't pay enough to their employees they're not gonna have enough to run these programs," she said.
Things you can do to save
So how do you cut down on rising costs? AAA's Paula Twidale says set a budget and plan ahead. And beware of unexpected food costs when you are on the road, which can add $100 a day to your summer travels.
"Between the price of gas and stopping for meals, or meals in a theme park, it gets expensive."
These are the things that are really costly when you have a family because you're feeding your family when you're on the road. She suggests you visit theme parks and museums on weekdays, or evenings for possible discounts. And always buy tickets online for lower prices.
Or look into "staycation" activities, as we did back during the 2009 recession.
That can mean frequenting your local parks, as Melissa Taylor and her 4 children are doing as much as possible.
"You pay $5 a car, we pack a lunch, and we stay all day," she said.
If gas prices and other rising costs are busting your summer budget already, you may want to consider a few more staycation adventures this summer, like the Taylor family is doing, so you don't waste your money.

Stuart Kirk, global head of responsible investments for HSBC, has been pilloried for saying what everyone knows: ESG investing is ill-suited to addressing climate change.
One problem, he noted during a presentation at a Financial Times conference, is that most of the expected effects from climate change are sufficiently far in the future that they have little impact on investment decisions. Another is that many climate effects can be addressed by adaptation, at least in the developed world. Or, as Kirk inelegantly put it: “Who cares if Miami is six meters under water in 100 years? Amsterdam has been six meters under water for ages, and it’s still a really nice place.”
Insensitive? Definitely. Untrue? Unfortunately, not.
Kirk cannot be dismissed as a climate denier. “I don’t doubt the science at all,” he said in his speech. Nor can he be dismissed as uninformed about the true state of ESG investing. In fact, he simply said what insiders knows and yet cannot express publicly: The financial effects of climate change are small over typical corporate investment horizons.
Or, in Kirk’s words: “For most companies with stranded assets, and even for tech, their valuation does not take into effect anything after 20 years.” The “average loan length [at HSBC] is six years,” he continued. “What happens in year seven is irrelevant to our loan book.”
To bend the arc of fossil fuels down and the arrow of renewables up, we need to follow the activists who are imploring us to elect leaders that will enact improved regulation.
Because of this mismatch of time horizons, Kirk laments time wasted on climate change. He noted, “What bothers me about this one [climate change] is the amount of work here people make me do … the amount of regulation coming down the pipes, the number of people in my team and at HBSC dealing with the financial risk from climate change.” Instead of asking for additional reporting or passing regulation, Kirk implores central bankers to spend less time on climate and more time fighting inflation so that “we get back to making money out of the transition.”
To further provoke, Kirk shared a chart highlighting the growth in equity markets alongside mentions of climate catastrophe. He noted that there could only be three explanations for this phenomenon: climate risk is negligible; climate risk is already priced in; or all investors are wrong.
It seems to us that there is a fourth explanation, one consistent with Kirk’s remarks about time horizons. According to the New York Stock Exchange, the average holding period of shares is measured in months, down from a peak of eight years in the late 1950s. Clearly, investors’ time horizons don’t match planetary boundaries (nor do their discount rates).
Kirk has been suspended for his comments (although his remarks were reportedly approved by HSBC), but he has done all of us a service.
His candor reveals the absurdity of expecting profit-seeking investors to solve the world’s problems, and the delay and hypocrisy that results. At present, financial institutions are publicly promising to reduce their corporate carbon footprint, while simultaneously and financing tar sands and natural gas pipelines. They are spending time and money to ostensibly address climate change, while also ignoring it in many of their investments. The dissonance is enough to make anyone lose their composure and finally speak the truth.
The easy response is to blame Kirk and other corporate executives. They are, however, only responding to the system structure and incentives. The harder but more effective response is to learn from what he said, and act.
Opportunity for change lies with the citizenry. To bend the arc of fossil fuels down and the arrow of renewables up, we need to follow the activists who are imploring us to elect leaders that will enact improved regulation.
Last week’s election results in Australia are a good start. According to exit polls, climate change was a key issue on voters’ minds, and they elected a Labor Government committed to aggressive carbon reduction goals. In a recent interview, Kirk noted that “companies are not elected to power nor accountable to the citizenry.” He is right.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Pools across the country might not open this summer because of a lifeguard shortage.
Let's connect the dots.
The American Lifeguard Association told the New York Post that a third of the 309,000 pools across the country won't have the staffing to open.
Experts say a lot of it is related to the pandemic and the cancellation of a popular work visa program. That's all on top of the tough job.
Oftentimes, hundreds of lives are in the hands of just one guard.
It takes physical, first-aid and trauma training before guards can even get a whistle. But these first responders are critical.
Lifeguards can help prevent an estimated 4,000 drownings a year. Government officials are working to find solutions to the labor shortages, but it might not come in time for the busy swim season.
This week the state department said their working to add more than 50,000 worker visas this year.

In his 2010 short documentary Last Address, filmmaker Ira Sachs streamed images of the exteriors of the houses, apartments, and lofts where New York City artists had lived at the time of their deaths from AIDS-related complications. When Alex Fialho saw the elegiac film as a young curator in his mid-20s, it struck him as a powerful meditation on loss, and a statement about the ongoing presence of these artists in memory and history.
Having just moved to New York, Fialho says he was inspired to visit these sites himself. "Keith Haring's address at 542 LaGuardia Place, Felix Gonzales-Torres's address at London Terrace on W. 23rd Street," Fialho recalls, "That personal ritual of remembrance really gave me a sense of the lived experience of these artists who I greatly admired."
As Programs Director of the non-profit arts organization Visual AIDS (a position now held by Kyle Croft), Fiahlo wanted to make that experience public, so he started approaching cinemas and museum partners to hold "Last Address" tribute walks in neighborhoods across the city, events to collectively memorialize key AIDS-related sites and recognize the ongoing presence, contributions, and impact of queer artists.
Beginning in 2014, tribute walks took place in the East Village, then Chelsea (2015), the Lower East Side (2016), the West Village (2017), the Meatpacking District (2018), and Times Square (2019). Before the pandemic forced a pause, Fialho says the walks grew from year to year. "At our last event, in Times Square, we had over a hundred people."
When Last Address resumes this year, on Saturday, May 28, the approach will be a little different. The location, Harlem, was suggested by the poet and activist Pamela Sneed, who points out that Black artists have always led AIDS activism, but their losses and contributions have often been overlooked or erased from AIDS narratives. At the same time, Sneed notes that Harlem's queer legacy hasn't been fully recognized, "You would go to Lenox Lounge, and even though you knew it was a Black queer spot, you wouldn't think of it as such."
Blake Paskal, who's affiliated with Visual AIDS and the Studio Museum in Harlem, says both organizations have been planning the 2022 tribute walk for a year. In addition to conventional archival research, they sought input from Black LGBTQ+ elders such as Antionettea "Dreadie" Etienne, Luna Luis Ortiz, and Lee Soulja Simmons, and used oral histories, conversations, personal correspondence, and photographs to document people and places of creativity, community, and care.
As in past years, Harlem's Last Address tribute walk will kick off with a screening of Sachs' film, which will be followed by opening remarks from Sneed. Doorstep tributes will commence along an established route, led by those who have a close relationship with the site or artist.
Ballroom icons Tracey "Africa" Norman and David Ultima will speak at the former site of the Elks Lodge, one of the central locations in the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning, paying tribute to a venue that fostered identity, community, and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. Historian Michael Henry Adams will speak at the former address of Lenox Lounge, where greats such as Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane once performed, spotlighting how the iconic jazz club also became a significant LGBTQ+ social spot in the early 2000s.
The writer Robert E. Penn will also honor their late friend B.Michael Hunter outside the home in Malcolm Shabazz Gardens where he died in 2001 with his husband Johnny and other loved ones at his side. Penn and Hunter became friends as members of Other Countries, a close-knit collective of Black gay writers founded by Daniel Garrett in 1986. Also known as Bert, B.Michael Hunter edited the group's work for publication, including the 1993 Lamda Literary award-winning anthology "Sojourner: Black Gay Voices In the Age of AIDS."
Penn says they were particularly impressed by B.Michael Hunter's 1991 poem "Bridgetown." "He was basically talking about intersectionality 20 years before it became a term that lots of people recognize and can discuss," Penn says. Speaking of his nom de plume, they explain, "It makes sense that B.Michael is 'Be Michael': Be Michael to the fullest you can be, be Michael authentically, be Michael without needing to explain yourself."
Saturday's route will stretch for more than a mile, yet Sneed says it only represents a fraction of the history that Visual AIDS and the Studio Museum have mapped. She describes the tribute walk as a starting point for mourning loss and recovering legacy.
Daonne Huff, Director of Public Programs and Community Engagement explains, "For a lot of people, when we think of Harlem we think of art, when we perhaps think of queer art histories it stops in the Harlem Renaissance. I think this project was an opportunity to really spotlight the fact that queer creatives never left."

A huge number of us decided to welcome new puppies into our homes in the last couple of years – Kennel Club figures show dog ownership soared by nearly 8 per cent and post-lockdown demand for four-legged friends remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
One thing to take into consideration is whether you already have a dog at home, with certain breeds far more happy to socialise with other pooches.
Meanwhile, others just like being left by themselves and will find sharing your house – and you – with a rival a bit of a trial.
Here are the 10 breeds that get on best with other dogs, according to the American Kennel Club.
1. Beagle
The loveable Beagle has been bred to hunt in packs - so it's no wonder that it gets on so well with other dogs. They'll play with any breed for as long as their new friends will have them.

2. Boston Terrier
Boston Terriers are filled with so much energy it's a good idea to have a regular canine playdate set up so they can burn off some of their excitement.

3. Cocker Spaniel
The sporty Springer Spaniel is hugely sociable by nature. A typical Springer will get on equally well with humans, dogs and other animals - even cats!

4. Pugs
While Pugs aren't well designed for running around with other dogs - they get tired easily and can suffer breathing problems - they adore to socialise with other pups. They love to snuggle up with other dogs to have a good nap and are very friendly.

Google is rolling out a new update for cloud storage service Drive that could save users plenty of time and hassle.
The update introduces the ability to use copy, cut and paste shortcuts - Ctrl + C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V (and macOS equivalents) - to transfer files between Google Drive folders with greater ease.
“This saves you time by allowing you to copy one or more files and move them to new locations in Drive, and across multiple tabs, with fewer clicks,” explained Google in a blog post announcing the changes.
Google Drive copy-and-paste
As a side-effect of the transition to remote and hybrid working, many knowledge workers now depend on a larger volume of documents and spreadsheets to collaborate effectively, which makes managing cloud storage something of a difficulty.
This was especially the case under the previous Google Drive system, whereby users would have to lean on the clunky “Move to” feature or drag-and-drop mechanics to shift multiple files between locations.
However, with the introduction of copy-and-paste keyboard shortcuts, restoring order to a mess of files and folders should become a little easier.
As explained in the blog post, copying a file in Google Drive will also capture a link, which can be pasted into a document or email as a simple way to share content with co-workers or external partners.
Another feature bundled with the update is the ability to use the Ctrl + Enter shortcut to open files or folders in a new browser tab, providing an easy way to launch into multiple files at once or shift files between two folders.
The Google Drive update is already rolling out to workers whose companies have opted into receiving features in early-access. The rest of us should see the update take effect in the first week of June. | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/everyones-favourite-time-saving-shortcut-is-coming-to-google-drive | 2022-05-27T10:25:11Z | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/everyones-favourite-time-saving-shortcut-is-coming-to-google-drive | false | 6 |

Ray Liotta had several films and a television series in the works before his sudden death on Thursday night at age 67, reports ‘Variety’.
At least two projects, Universal’s wild drug-filled thriller ‘Cocaine Bear’ and the Apple TV Plus limited series ‘Black Bird’, had already completed production and should be released according to schedule, sources said.
Liotta died in his sleep while shooting ‘Dangerous Waters’ in the Dominican Republic. The indie movie began production over a month ago, but it’s not clear where they were in terms of filming. John Barr is directing ‘Dangerous Waters’, a thriller about a sailing holiday that spirals out of control when a teenage daughter uncovers the dark past of her mother’s new boyfriend.
The film also stars ‘You’ actor Saffron Burrows, Odeya Rush (‘Lady Bird’) and Eric Dane of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Euphoria’ fame.
In ‘Black Bird’, which lands on Apple TV+ on July 8, Liotta is playing a police officer whose son (portrayed by Taron Egerton) is sentenced to 10 years in prison for dealing drugs. While serving time, he’s offered early parole on the condition that he relocates to a prison for the criminally insane and befriends serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser).
It is not clear who Liotta is playing in ‘Cocaine Bear’, which wrapped filming in Ireland in October 2021. The Elizabeth Banks-directed movie is in post-production and is aiming to debut in theatres on February 24, 2023.
‘Cocaine Bear’ is inspired by the true story of an American black bear that goes on a murderous rampage after ingesting a staggering amount of blow. Along with Liotta, the cast includes Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, Margo Martindale and O’Shea Jackson Jr.

FTSE 100 Struggles For Direction After Windfall Tax Announcement
(RTTNews) - U.K. stocks fluctuated on Friday, with oil and gas stocks coming under selling pressure after Boris Johnson's government said it would impose a windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies to finance one-off grants of £650 to more than 8 million of the poorest households in the U.K.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak did not rule out applying a similar levy to power generators, but said more work needs to be done on the idea.
The benchmark FTSE 100 was marginally higher at 7,565 after closing 0.6 percent higher on Thursday.
BP Plc fell 1.2 percent and Shell was down 0.8 percent after the government announced a 25 percent windfall tax on oil and gas producers' profits.
Power generators such as SSE, Centrica, and Drax lost 3-5 percent.
GlaxoSmithKline fell about 1 percent. The company said its cervical cancer drug has been approved in China as a two-dose vaccine as protection against two forms of the human papillomavirus.
Miners Anglo American, Antofagasta and Glencore all rose about 2 percent as copper and iron ore prices rose boosted by a weaker dollar.
Workspace Group advanced 1.5 percent after saying it has received unsolicited indications of interest from a number of parties for the acquisition of the entire portfolio of light industrial assets formerly owned by McKay.

MOST people hang up their curtains on a rod without a second thought.
But now an interiors expert has revealed doing so is making the entire room and home look cheap - before unveiling the easy fix to make it look more expensive.
Home expert Julie Sousa, whose TikTok account @the_avantgarde is followed by 1.2 million people, uploaded a video offering helpful decor tips.
In it, she showed a view of her beautiful apartment, before asking: “Want to make your home look expensive?”
Julie then honed in on her long white curtains that frame the windows to her amazing view.
Continuing, she said: “Then you want to hang your curtains on a track system.”
Julie says to place some subtle and stylish hooks directly into the ceiling that can be looped or sewn onto your curtain material and can be easily manoeuvred.
Showing how it’s done, Julie explained: “You install these right into the ceiling about four inches away or so from the wall so that the curtains have room to hang.
“It’s a more seamless look, and since your curtains are floor to ceiling, it makes the ceilings appear taller.
After demonstrating what she means and showing her own curtains in her own home, Julie’s followers were quick to give their view - saying they loved the look.

One commented: “I LOVE this and want to do it in my own home.”
Another of Julie’s followers said: “I did this after seeing one of your other videos and I’m in LOVE,” to which she replied: “It’s such a game changer isn’t it?!”
She also revealed more about the product she’d used, writing: “Some tracks come with connected roller hooks - this one doesn’t.
“But it depends on curtain panel width. For mine, it’s 7 hooks per pane.” | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/18702832/curtains-make-home-look-cheap-interiors-expert/ | 2022-05-27T10:33:10Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/18702832/curtains-make-home-look-cheap-interiors-expert/ | true | 4 |

UNSC fails to pass N.Korea resolution due to oppn by China, Russia
China and Russia, both veto power-wielding permanent members of the Council and close allies of North Korea, voted against the resolution, effectively blocking its passage
The UN Security Council (UNSC) has failed to pass a resolution to impose additional sanctions on North Korea for its recent missile tests due to opposition by China and Russia.
Thirteen members of the 15-member Council voted in favour of the US-proposed resolution on Thursday, reports Yonhap News Agency.
China and Russia, both veto power-wielding permanent members of the Council and close allies of North Korea, voted against the resolution, effectively blocking its passage.
Washington proposed the new sanctions resolution after North Korea staged 16 rounds of missile launches since the start of the year.
Pyongyang fired three ballistic missiles, including an apparent intercontinental ballistic missile, earlier this week, marking its 17th show of force of the year.
In a prebuttal to Thursday's scheduled UNSC vote, China's UN Ambassador Zhang Jun said Beijing would oppose any attempt to create confrontation or tension in Northeast Asia.
"We do not think additional sanctions will be helpful in responding to the current situation," he told reporters in New York earlier in the day.

Paula Badosa vs Veronika Kudermetova preview
Third seed Paula Badosa will take on 29th seed Veronika Kudermetova in the third round of the French Open on Saturday.
The Spaniard started the season strongly before her form dropped off. She won her first-ever WTA 500 title at the Sydney International and reached the last 16 of the Australian Open.
Following early exits in Dubai and Doha, Badosa reached the semifinals of the Indian Wells Open but lost to Maria Sakkari in three sets. She also made it to the quarterfinals of the Miami Open, where she had to retire due to injury.
After reaching the semifinals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Badosa's form tailed away as she suffered early exits from the Madrid Open and the Italian Open.
But she has rediscovered her best tennis at the French Open. The 24-year-old opened her campaign with a comprehensive victory over Fiona Ferro and then outlasted Kaja Juvan in the second round.
Kudermetova, meanwhile, reached the final of the Melbourne Summer Set, where she lost to Simona Halep. The Russian also made the title clash in Dubai, but once again failed to get her hands on the trophy as she was beaten by Jelena Ostapenko.
She looked shaky in the build-up to the French Open, losing her opener in Madrid and Rome. But she's hit the ground running in Paris, defeating Lin Zhu and Aleksandra Krunic to reach the third round.
Paula Badosa vs Veronika Kudermetova head-to-head
This will be the sixth meeting between the two players, with Kudermetova leading 3-2 in the head-to-head. The Russian won the first three matches between the two, but Badosa triumphed on the two occasions they met this season.
The winner will take on 16th seed Elena Rybakina or 22nd seed Madison Keys in the last 16 of the French Open.
Paula Badosa vs Veronika Kudermetova odds
All odds sourced from Oddschecker.
Paula Badosa vs Veronika Kudermetova prediction
Paula Badosa has the edge in this match, at least on paper. Clay is her favorite surface and she has the ideal game to thrive on the red dirt. Badosa possesses a strong serve and compact groundstrokes off both wings. Her movement is one of her biggest assets.
Kudermetova, on the other hand, is a powerful baseliner who likes to dictate the play. But she tends to overpress at times and leaks unforced errors. She might find it hard to hit through Badosa on the slow courts at Roland Garros.
Badosa beat Kudermetova comprehensively in their two meetings this year and will hope for a hat-trick come Saturday.
Pick: Badosa to win in two sets. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/french-open-2022-paula-badosa-vs-veronika-kudermetova-preview-head-to-head-prediction-odds-pick | 2022-05-27T10:59:39Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/french-open-2022-paula-badosa-vs-veronika-kudermetova-preview-head-to-head-prediction-odds-pick | true | 1 |
RAYMOND — A dog and two cats died in a farmhouse fire Thursday in north-central Racine County, the Racine County Sheriff's Office reported.
A 911 call was made at 2:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, reporting "a large amount of black smoke coming from the area of Highway G (Six Mile Road) and Highway 45 in the (Village) of Raymond," according to an alert from RCSO. When first responders arrived, they said they found a farmhouse fully engulfed in flames; multiple fire departments ended up responding to extinguish the blaze.
No people were reported as injured and deputies said they found no people on scene, although the RCSO said that "one dog and two cats were not able to be saved from the fire."
The farmhouse is considered a complete loss and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The investigation into the fatal shooting of a suspect who was reported as fleeing from police is continuing, with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation taking lead in the investigation.
Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Justice released no new information before press time Sunday regarding the Friday afternoon fatal police shooting on Racine's south side, just west of Center Street.
Dashari Watson, 21, was sentenced to 13 years in prison. He said that he too was the victim of gun violence, having nearly been paralyzed when he was shot at age 17. As a result, he began carrying a gun, aiming to protect himself.
Two men face charges after allegedly breaking into R&D Executive, a men's fashion store at 424 Main St., and stealing an iPad and a safe almost four weeks ago. | https://journaltimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/three-pets-die-in-farmhouse-fire-thursday-afternoon/article_5bfeaf9c-dd9c-11ec-a604-5773a50f0d42.html | 2022-05-27T11:00:28Z | https://journaltimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/three-pets-die-in-farmhouse-fire-thursday-afternoon/article_5bfeaf9c-dd9c-11ec-a604-5773a50f0d42.html | true | 1 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — To drive, or not to drive? This Memorial Day weekend, with surging gas prices that are redefining pain at the pump, that is the question for many Americans as a new COVID-19 surge also spreads across the country.
For Marvin Harper, of Phoenix, his family’s weekend travel plans are a double punch to the wallet. His college-age son and daughter each have a soccer tournament in Southern California and Colorado, respectively. He and his daughter will fly to Denver, rather than drive, because of the cost of fuel, while his wife and son will go to California in her SUV.
“My mother-in-law’s going with my wife and son to split that cost because it’s just too much on our household,” said Harper, as he filled up the tank of his truck at a Phoenix QuikTrip. “We can’t afford both of us to drive. That’s the bottom line … Gas prices are killing our household.”
For some, that’s exactly what’s caused them to rethink their holiday plans, making them opt for a staycation in their backyard to limit the damage to their wallets.
Laura Dena and her sons would typically go to Southern California around Memorial Day weekend to escape Arizona’s scorching heat. This year, because it takes at least $100 to fill up her truck, they’re staying home.
“It’s really frustrating,” said Dena while waiting in line in 90-degree heat for a pump at a Costco in Phoenix. “It’s upsetting, but there’s not much we can do. We have to pay the price.”
The average gas price in the U.S. on Thursday was $4.60 per gallon, according to AAA figures. In California, it topped $6. The high price of oil — largely because many buyers are refusing to purchase Russian oil because of its invasion of Ukraine — is the main cause of the steep gasoline prices.
Americans aren’t the only ones weighing their options as the summer travel season begins. Across the European Union’s 27 countries, gasoline has risen 40% from a year ago, to the equivalent of $8.40 a gallon.
Rising prices in the U.S. coincide with a COVID-19 surge that has led to case counts that are as high as they’ve been since mid-February, and those figures are likely a major undercount because of unreported positive home test results and asymptomatic infections.
Still, 2 1/2 years of pandemic life has many people hitting the road or taking to the skies, despite the surge. AAA estimates that 39.2 million people in the U.S. will travel 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more from home during the holiday weekend.
Those projections —- which include travel by car, plane and other modes of transportation like trains or cruise ships — are up 8.3% from 2021 and would bring Memorial Day travel volumes close to 2017 levels. The estimates are still below pre-pandemic 2019 levels, a peak year for travel.
About 88% of those 39.2 million travelers — a record number — are expected to go by car over the long weekend even as gas prices remain high, according to AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross.
In California — despite being home to the nation’s highest gas prices — the state’s nonprofit tourism agency also predicts a busy summer for the Golden State, beginning this weekend.
Ryan Becker, Visit California’s spokesperson, said his agency is seeing a lot of “pent-up demand” because of the pandemic: “I want to get out, I want to travel. I’ve had to put my anniversary trip on hold, I’ve had to put my 40th birthday trip on hold.”
Outdoorsy, an online rental marketplace for RVs and camper vans, is noticing that its renters have changed their plans over the course of the pandemic. Early on, people would rent an RV to travel cross-country safely to visit family. Now, they’re back to using the RVs as a cost-effective way for a vacation tethered to nature.
“I think everyone needs a vacation, I really do,” Outdoorsy co-founder Jen Young said. “Have we ever lived through a more stressful, challenging — mentally and physically and spiritually — time in our lives?”
Others shrug off the stress of the added travel costs because it’s out of their control. At a Chevron station in the Glassell Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Ricardo Estrada tried to guess how much the $6.49 a gallon price would run him in total for his Nissan work van.
“I’ll go with between 60 and 70 bucks,” the heating and air-conditioning technician speculated, eyeing the display as the price went up and up.
Estrada — just missing his guess when the pump registered $71.61 for 11 gallons of regular grade — has been forced to raise his business fees for customers to overcome the gas prices. He’ll be working over the holiday weekend but has a vacation planned in Arizona next month.
He’s flying, but only because of convenience, not cost.
But with airline tickets prices up, too — AAA found that the average lowest airfare for this weekend is 6% higher than last year — that’s not a sure bet, either. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/more-memorial-day-travel-expected-despite-high-gas-prices/ | 2022-05-27T11:03:15Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/more-memorial-day-travel-expected-despite-high-gas-prices/ | false | 33 |
It’s official: Fanny packs are back in fashion. They’re so convenient and easy to carry that you’ll wonder why the trend didn’t reemerge sooner. They have certainly had a glow up, and a wide range of sophisticated versions can now be found alongside more retro styles.
If you’re only just trying out this particular trend, you might be wondering which fanny pack to buy. Thankfully, there’s an option to suit most buyers, whether you want something compact or roomy, high fashion or kitsch.
What are fanny packs?
Fanny packs are small bags on belts that are traditionally worn around the waist. While they’re coming back into style, you’ll often see manufacturers refer to them as waist packs, waist bags or belt bags. These are all still fanny packs by another name, perhaps to put distance between them and any unflattering associations.
They’re usually large enough to carry essentials, such as keys, wallets, snacks, phones, sunglasses and hand sanitizer. However, they’re designed to be compact, so they can fit far less inside than a backpack.
Why are fanny packs popular?
You might be wondering about the benefits of fanny packs. It’s their versatility and handy features that have brought them back into popularity. While there isn’t just one reason why they’re popular, there are several contributing factors.
Compact size
Their compact size makes waist packs easy to carry nearly anywhere. They don’t weigh you down the same way that large purses, bags and backpacks can. With comfort at the forefront of many current fashion trends, the fact they’re small, light and comfortable to carry around only adds to their popularity. It can also keep you from overpacking when going out for the day, which is easy to do.
If you’re looking for an option that’s even more compact than a standard fanny pack, consider a running waist belt. These are similar but smaller and designed for use while exercising.
Convenience
Fanny packs are simply convenient to carry and use. Rather than digging through a large bag to find what you need, things are always easy to find. Not only is the main compartment relatively small, but most have at least a few more zippered compartments. This makes it easy to keep organized.
What’s more, they’re often worn on the front or side, or they can easily be swiveled round to the front. This makes it easy to rummage through them without taking them off and setting them down somewhere.
Hands-free wear
Like backpacks and messenger bags, these packs are hands-free. Shoulder bags, on the other hand, can easily slip off if you don’t hold onto them. They’re also compact enough that you can keep them on when you sit down, making them more convenient than any other type of bag.
Travel-friendly
The stereotype of fanny pack-wearing tourists exists for a reason: These packs are extremely travel-friendly. They’re light, easy to access and easy to wear on your front without looking strange in areas where pickpocketing is an issue.
Good looking
Although they have a bad reputation, fanny packs can look great. They’re now available in a far wider range of shapes, styles and materials than they have been in the past. This means there’s an option to suit most buyers, whether your style is cool and casual or sleek and sophisticated. With so many more options available, including those from designer brands, it’s a good reason to embrace the trend.
How should you wear a fanny pack?
Fanny packs are designed to be worn around the waist with the bag either on the front, back or side. However, in their new era of popularity, they’re frequently worn across the body with the bag at the front. While you can wear your pack any way you’d like to, this crossbody look is arguably the most fashionable way to do so.

Hailing the clean chit given by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, in the ‘drugs on cruise’ case, the ruling NCP in Maharashtra on Friday asked who would be held responsible for the trauma he suffered.
It also said that the then zonal director of the NCB, Sameer Wankhede, was answerable to the people of this country.
Ally Congress alleged that the entire case was part of a “larger conspiracy” to topple the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, in which it shares power with the Shiv Sena and NCP.
The NCB on Friday gave a clean chit to Aryan Khan in the October 2021 ‘drugs on cruise’ case in which he was arrested last year. Officials of the NCB, which filed its chargesheet in a Mumbai court, said Aryan Khan and five others had not been named due to “lack of sufficient evidence”.
Asserting that its Special Investigation Team (SIT) carried out its probe in an “objective manner”, the federal anti-drugs agency said in a statement in Delhi that “the touchstone of the principle of proof beyond reasonable doubt has been applied”.
Reacting to the development, NCP spokesman Clyde Crasto said, “If Aryan Khan was clean, why was he tainted? What was the motive? Who will be held responsible for the trauma this young man suffered? Many questions arise.” Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe said truth has ultimately prevailed. “We were saying from day one that the case was part of a larger conspiracy to destablise the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government (of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress),” he said.
NCP’s chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase said the NCB giving a clean chit to Aryan Khan proves that Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik was right when he had said that the case was fake.
Malik had criticised the way raids were conducted and witnesses identified, he said.
“Whatever Malik said holds ground. Witnesses had claimed that they were made to sign on blank papers and there were financial transactions involved. Sameer Wankhede is answerable to the people of this country,” he said.
The writing on the wall is very clear that the objections raised by NCP minister Nawab Malik regarding the way the entire raid was conducted and selection of witnesses having close affinity with the BJP was valid, Tapase alleged.
“Nawab Malik raised serious questions over the functioning and character of Sameer Wankhede. We have always maintained that the NCB is a very credible organisation having impeccable track record, but the way things were happening in the recent times put question marks on the conduct of the organisation,” Tapase said.
Malik made serious allegations against Wankhede, thereby drawing the ire of some powerful people in Delhi. Today, Malik is paying a price for speaking the truth, he added.
Aryan Khan was arrested in the case by the NCB on October 3 last year and released from jail later that month after being granted bail. An NCB team led by Wankhede had conducted a raid on the cruise ship, after which 20 persons, including Aryan Khan, were arrested. | https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/who-is-responsible-for-trauma-aryan-khan-suffered-asks-ncp-after-ncbs-clean-chit-in-drugs-on-cruise-case/2540051/ | 2022-05-27T11:03:50Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/who-is-responsible-for-trauma-aryan-khan-suffered-asks-ncp-after-ncbs-clean-chit-in-drugs-on-cruise-case/2540051/ | false | 5 |
Councillor Bob Gettings, who represents the Morley North ward, will be Leeds’ first citizen over the next 12 months.
Coun Gettings, of the Morley Borough Independents (MBIs) party, replaces Labour’s Asghar Khan in the role.
The job of lord mayor is purely ceremonial and involves charity fundraising and being an ambassador for Leeds at public events.
They are also expected to be apolitical and chairing council meetings is also among their duties.
The position is rotated between city councillors every May.
Speaking at the AGM on Thursday, the council’s deputy leader Debra Coupar said: “Bob is one of those really gentle and caring members of the community. He really wants to help everyone and do everything he can to assist you.
“I’ll never forget his help and advice during my first year as a councillor.”
Born in the Methley area of Leeds in 1946, Coun Gettings is a former deputy headteacher at Bruntcliffe High School in Morley.
Following his appointment, the new lord mayor told colleagues that despite challenging times in the world, Leeds is “still thriving”.
Coun Gettings said: “I’m very proud to be the city’s 128th Lord Mayor and I’m also excited to have the opportunity to serve the people.”
Martin House Children’s Hospice will be among the charities to benefit from his mayoral fundraising over the next year, while his wife of 50 years, Leslie, will serve alongside him as mayoress.
Coun Gettings is only the second MBI member to hold the title, following Judith Elliott in 2009/10.

DAEGU, May 27 — Norway’s Equinor ASA plans to make a final investment decision on what would be its first offshore wind farm in South Korea as early as 2024, and is now considering a third, larger project in the country, the head of its local unit said.
“We are looking to build a portfolio of four to six gigawatts (GW) in Korea and that’s going to support Equinor’s ambition... in energy transition,” Jacques-Etienne Michel, president of Equinor South Korea, told Reuters on the sidelines of the 2022 World Gas Conference in Daegu, South Korea.
The oil and gas producer aims to diversify its business and become a “global offshore wind major” that produces renewable power from turbines in the United States, Europe and Asia.
The first Korean project, known as ‘Firefly’, is undergoing environmental impact assessment and a final investment decision will be made in 2024 or 2025, Michel said. Firefly is a planned semi-submersible wind farm spanning 150 square kilometres (58 sq. miles) off the coast of the city of Ulsan.
The 800-megawatt (MW) project, expected to cost several billion dollars and finish commissioning in 2028 or 2029, is wholly owned by Equinor but the company is looking for partners, he said.
Equinor is also in talks with Korean firms to produce wind turbines and cables from scratch for the project.
“It’s a chance for Korea to be a prime mover and to build a new industry,” Michel said.
The country aims to get 20-25 per cent of its power output from renewables in 2030, up from 6.6 per cent in 2020.
Equinor has a second, 200 MW wind farm project offshore Ulsan, in partnership with state-run Korea National Oil Corp and local power generator Korea East-West Power. The project was awarded a licence to generate electricity in November.
The company is also exploring a third project, a 1.5 GW wind farm project in the southwest region of South Korea, Michel said.
Besides South Korea, Equinor is also looking into similar projects in Japan and Vietnam, he said.
Equinor plans to install 12-16 GW of net renewable energy capacity, mainly offshore wind, by 2030, up from 0.7 GW in 2021, and aims to become a leading developer of floating turbines which can harness wind from deeper waters.
It developed the world’s first floating offshore wind farm off Scotland in 2017, and plans to use floating turbines to power its oil platforms off Norway.
By focusing early on offshore wind, Equinor has won accreage for large projects off Britain, the United States and Poland, but suffered several settbacks this year.
It came away empty handed from the Scotwind tender in Scotland, just across the North Sea from its home market, and was outbid in a tender for offshore wind acreage off New York and New Jersey.
The company has said it could be more selective as its project pipeline already covers about two-thirds of its 2030 capacity target, and it also plans to take part in the first offshore wind power tender in Norway. — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/05/27/equinor-to-decide-on-south-korea-offshore-wind-farm-as-soon-as-2024/9221 | 2022-05-27T11:10:50Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2022/05/27/equinor-to-decide-on-south-korea-offshore-wind-farm-as-soon-as-2024/9221 | false | 3 |
Indeed the past was another country not this one we have today. Within a space of ten days we’ve heard of over seven cases of alleged stealing of our commonwealth to the tune of over two trillion naira (cumulative) not by armed robbers, no, but by people former “Mr Integrity,” President Mohammadu Buhari appointed into positions of trust to manage the resources.
First it was the Attorney General’s Office and the aides thereof racketeering on sale of Presidential pardon.
This was followed by the Office of the Accountant General where it was disclosed that over N80 billion was single-handedly misapplied or even siphoned by the nation’s chief accounts officer.
The arrested Accountant General implicated the Minister of Finance Zainab Ahmed Shamsuma. He told his interrogators that she owned properties in Abuja, Kaduna, Lagos and Dubai laundered in the name of her husband.
Now we are being told that even the previous AG had his own case to answer. This particular officer, as reported, has returned a fraction of what he is being accused of stealing. Not to talk of the Acting Accountant General, Anamekwe Nwabuoku who is also being alleged to have a heavy corruption dossier that is also being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Even the Minister of Finance has been accused of mammoth corruption and sleaze using her husband and his businesses in Nigeria and the Middle East as front.
We’ve not forgotten the scandal in NPA involving trillions of naira unaccounted for by the former managing director Hadiza…
The NIMASSA DG is currently being fingered in over 1Trillion naira sleaze not minding his grossly disjointed statement denying the allegation which he described as a case of switched identities.
Few days ago we were alerted that United Kingdom investigators have busted another corruption scandal in the General Muhammadu Buhari led administration involving the Managing Director, Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Bashir Jamoh, where various sums including N1.5 trillion and another $9,557,312.50 have been traced to his personal accounts.
The investigation, according to the report focused on fraud, money laundering and breach of the Nigeria Code of Conduct Act. This same investigation, it stated spans across all the Agencies under the Ministry of Transportation having started with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
As reported by Pointblanknews.com, “Curiously, the Fidelity account with N1, 505,890,450,000.67 has Hamza Ibrahim Jamoh with BVN 22151837650 and Cell phone number 08034517410. While the BVN number revealed a different identity, the cell phone linked to the account is linked to the DG of NIMASA, Jamoh.
“The N1.5trillion was after few months cleared from the account to avoid investigations on the lodgment of such huge amount.
“In a four page document titled due diligent report on Bashiru Yusuf Jamoh, the Director-General NIMASA, which pointblanknews.com has copies, the report exposed another lodgment of $9,557,312.50 into Access Bank account 0710814478 also belonging to him.
“The investigation also exposed other infractions by the agency’s boss which also include award of contracts to companies which he has interest in.”
Denying the allegation, the NIMASA boss said: “There are indications that the reported allegations of N1.5 trillion and $9million fraud against Dr Bashir Jamoh, Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) was a case of pure mistaken identity. It was rather one Hamza Ibrahim Jamo, a retired employee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), a different individual without link to NIMASA DG.
If it was the retired NNPC staff as claimed by the NIMASA helmsman, what of the BVN that carries the name of the Bashir Jamoh?
As Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore said in a May 19 social media update, “Two Nigerian officials arrested for stealing N127billion: ₦80b + ₦ 47b = ₦127billion. And all we need to end ASUU strike is a a deposit of ₦200billion. If one more Nigerian crook is arrested, in this case @cenbank Gov. Godwin Emefiele @emefielegodwin, money to pay off ASUU is complete!” And bringing the NIMASA guy to account, will comfortably enable our children go back to their universities as ASUU will be glad to resume work. You see where this country has found itself!
Why are our universities shut down for going to one year now? Is it not just because the university lecturers are saying that their take-home pay can’t take them home any longer, it is mainly that the accountant general of the federation and his cronies also use IPPIS to steal from their monthly earnings.
How do you explain that the Accountant General, Idris, actually got the bulk of his ill-gotten wealth on the back of the despair and agony of university lecturers? He blatantly stole lecturers’ salaries through the fraudulent Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), which ironically bills itself as a safeguard against fraud.
As said by Prof Farooq Kperogi in one of his posits, “I wish someone would indoctrinate Nigerians to be as angry, touchy, intolerant, and pushed to draw ‘red lines’ over injustice, misgovernance, elite cruelty, etc. as some people in the Muslim North are over “blasphemy.”
Money stolen by Nigerian political class and their cronies is much more than money borrowed from China by Buhari administration put together. If this government is ready to unveil the truth, they can recover all the loots and pay Nigeria’s debts and still have surplus to run the Nigeria. But they won’t do it because na the same people. God help Nigeria!

During a visit to Grady Memorial Hospital Thursday, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy sounded the alarm over burnout among health care workers reeling after more than two years of caring for patients suffering from an ever-changing and often mystifying virus.
The physical and emotional toll has been immense, and many health care workers are quitting their jobs.
Murthy said the strain brought by COVID also explains why one in five doctors and two in five nurses say they plan to leave the profession. Murthy said he hears the word “trauma” used, again and again, to describe the past two years for health workers.
“I think this is not just about supporting the health workforce to make health care more available. It’s a question of living up to our moral responsibility to take care of people who have been there to take care of us,” said Murthy during an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “They are telling us in conversation after conversation, survey after survey, that they are in crisis, and the question is, what are we going to do about it?”
His visit to Grady and Morehouse School of Medicine on Thursday was part of several stops he’s making around the nation this week to bring more attention to the loss of essential health workers ranging from doctors and nurses to lower-wage nursing home employees and nursing assistants.

The administration is calling on hospitals and medical schools to take steps to protect the mental wellbeing of health care workers; that includes offering counseling, reducing administrative burdens and promoting worker safety on the job.
Unless changes are made, Murthy said, the country will be less prepared for future public health emergencies and “we will send a message to millions of health care workers that their suffering does not matter.”
Already, Americans are feeling the impact of staffing shortages across the health system in hospitals, primary care clinics, and public health departments. Murthy released a report Monday titled “Addressing Health Worker Burnout,” which warns of the extent of projected shortages. With over half-a-million registered nurses anticipated to retire by the end of 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the urgent need for 1.1 million new registered nurses across the U.S.
Murthy also warned of a coming shortage of 3 million “essential low-wage workers,” which includes nursing assistants, home health aides, and housekeepers, in the next five years and a shortage of doctors that could reach 139,000 by 2033.
A spokesperson for Grady said they have a shortage of more than 200 nurses along with other critical shortfalls in other essential jobs like housekeeping and public safety officers.
“Wave after wave of COVID has increased the demands on health workers, but also, and this stat surprised and shocked me, was eight out of 10 healthcare workers have experienced physical or verbal abuse during the pandemic, and these are people coming to work to help people and they’re getting literally physically or verbally attacked at work,” Murthy said.

Grady resident surgeons, Dr. Goeto Dantes and Dr. Dirir Abdullahi , both of whom had a chance to meet with Murthy, praised his work to bring attention to the intense emotional and physical toll of the pandemic.
Abdullahi, 28, started his residency during the early days of the pandemic. He said it was “insurmountably difficult” to be forced to keep family members apart from their dying loved ones. “This (was) my first year of residency in the surgical intensive care unit. And I couldn’t let a single family member come in when I was pronouncing someone for their time of death. And that takes a toll....”

Dantes said for stressed workers, little things like a coffee card or the administrative staff making rounds and handing out candy can make a difference.
In southwest Georgia, the site of some of the state’s earliest and worst pandemic waves, Phoebe Putney Health System last week publicized a Mental Health Awareness Week for its own staff. Workers were invited to relax with service dogs and take part in a meditation session, in addition to other techniques the hospital system has begun offering regularly to boost staff mental wellness.
The pandemic “is unlike anything any of us in nursing or healthcare have ever experienced,” said Evelyn Olenick, Chief Nursing Officer at the system’s flagship Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
“There was a shortage (of health workers) before the pandemic, but what the pandemic did … it just widened and exacerbated that gap,” Olenick said.
During the long periods of time when hospitals restricted visitors for critically ill patients, nurses stood in for friends and family members. “The nurse became everything — everything — to the patient. It almost looked like they were surrogate family members,” Olenick said. “I know there were nurses that have probably experienced more deaths in that period of time than over their careers. And that is a significant burden.”
Olenick has been a registered nurse for 46 years, and at Phoebe for seven. She is glad to see the resources Phoebe is putting towards the mental health of its workers.
“If they’re feeling so overwhelmed, so anxious, if they have ongoing degrees of compassion fatigue and (it’s) leading to burnout, they’re not going to want to stay in the profession.”
And visits with the service dogs last week were a hit. “The people that came down to see the dogs…you could tell the staff were joyful, they were happy.”

Q: You talked about the need to address health misinformation which is draining health care workers.
A: I remember one nurse telling me that she was caring for a patient who had severe COVID and had to get intubated. And when she tried to have a conversation with the patient, the patient got very angry at her and said, ‘Don’t tell me that. COVID isn’t real. Why are you intubating me? Are you trying to hurt me?’ The patient has absorbed the misinformation from someone else. So heartbreaking. The nurse recognizes the patient’s life is on the line and needs lifesaving care and it turns into a verbal altercation.
Healthcare workers are some of the most resilient, thoughtful people but everyone has their limits.
Q: Where do you think we are in the pandemic?
A: I think the good news is that we have gotten to a place where we are still seeing this decoupling between cases and deaths (when case numbers shoot up more steeply than hospitalizations and deaths). It doesn’t mean that people aren’t still dying from COVID — they are, and too many people each day — but during past waves when we saw cases increase to this level, we would have seen a much greater increase in deaths. Why is this decoupling happening? I think it’s two things. I think it’s it is vaccines and I think it’s also treatments. We know Paxlovid as a treatment can be very helpful in reducing your risk of hospitalization and death. And so, we want people, especially those who are at higher risk, to talk to their doctor, go to covid.gov and we have a list of places where test-to-treat options are available.
Q: How important is tracking COVID cases today when so many people take home tests?
A: Cases matter for at least two reasons. One is because we know that even people who are healthy and at low risk could transmit infection to somebody who is high risk. And because of long COVID.
What measures work to reduce the likelihood of getting long COVID? We do have some data that shows that getting vaccinated could help reduce your risk of getting long COVID. Does it eliminate it? No. But the other question we want to answer also is what effect treatments have on your risk of long COVID. There are a lot of questions we still have to answer which is why I think it still bears being cautious when it comes to preventing yourself and others from getting COVID, because we don’t know who is ultimately going to end up with a condition like long COVID.
Q: Can you talk about why your visit to Morehouse School of Medicine?
A: An important reason that I wanted to go to Morehouse is that we know that the brunt of the pandemic has been disproportionately borne by communities of color, that has been clear. We also know that to best serve the community, we also need diversity in our workforce. ... But what I hear from students as I often do is that they are the only Black person in their medical school or that there are no other people of Latino background like they are....
And it’s important to have people who share your experiences, your background, who can understand what you’re going through, in order to be optimally supported. So, Morehouse stands out as an institution that has recognized this for years before the pandemic. They have worked hard to increase diversity in the workforce.” | https://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/surgeon-general-warns-of-crisis-level-healthcare-burnout-during-atlanta-visit/JOFRGAGUJRGFHCLMYMWUBNSQYI/ | 2022-05-27T11:19:32Z | https://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/surgeon-general-warns-of-crisis-level-healthcare-burnout-during-atlanta-visit/JOFRGAGUJRGFHCLMYMWUBNSQYI/ | true | 2 |
The NRL may see the return of two ex-Sharks players in 2023.
Ricky Leutele and Sosaia Feki, who both played for the Cronulla Sharks for a combined 13 years, left Australia to play in England at the end of the 2018 season.
In 2019, Feki signed a three-year contract with English Side Castleford Tigers, alongside Leutele who also signed on for the 2021 season with the Huddersfield Giants.
Both men are premiership-winning teammates that helped bring the Sharks victory in a historic premiership win in 2016. Leutele is also nationally remembered by Shark fans for his show-stopping tackle in final moments of the 2016 season decider.
Leutele also featured for former Super League club the Toronto Wolfpack for 35 matches before returning down under with the Melbourne Storm in 2020, where he played one game.
Feki played two tests for Tonga between 2013 and 2015.
Leutele, who is renowned for being a strong centre, and Feki, who is a flashy wingman, are understood to have been shopped to NRL club, according to Wide World of Sports.
Both men, who have spent the last four years playing in the Super League in England, are reportedly homesick and eager to get back home to Australia for the 2023 season. | https://www.zerotackle.com/former-sharks-pair-reportedly-setting-sights-on-nrl-returns-118293/ | 2022-05-27T11:19:43Z | https://www.zerotackle.com/former-sharks-pair-reportedly-setting-sights-on-nrl-returns-118293/ | false | 1 |
Ikea Dirigera: A new hub to bring order to your connected home
Ikea has taken a step toward standardizing connected home ecosystems by launching a new hub and app. After months of rumors going around, the hub known as "Dirigera" is compatible with the Matter standard. Not only that, the Ikea Home Smart app is also finally official and should be available in the coming months.
TL;DR
- The new Dirigera hub integrates the new Matter connected home standard.
- Ikea Home Smart app will give you better controls over your connected home.
- The new Dirigera hub and app aren't expected to be available until at least October 2022.
While its Tradfri gateway was panned for its lack of practicality, Ikea has launched a new Dirigera hub and revamped its Home Smart app. The new Dirigera, which is a "hub" and not a gateway like the Tradfri it replaces which was launched in 2014, Dirigera incorporates the new Matter connected home standard.
Dirigera: A new hub ready for the next generation of connected products
In terms of dimensions, the new Dirigera hub measures a mere 2.7 cm high and 11.2 cm in diameter. This makes it almost half the height and slightly wider than the previous Trådfri gateway, which was 4.5 cm high and 11 cm in diameter. There is an Ethernet port and a USB-C port for power.
The Dirigera hub is designated "Matter-ready" by Ikea, as it does not yet have any official certification. For now, it remains unclear whether this new hub will be among the first batch of devices to offer the new connected home standard or whether it will have to wait until next year. However, what is certain is this: once launched, the Dirigera hub and the new Ikea Home Smart app will be compatible with all existing Ikea connected products as well as those from other Matter-compatible manufacturers.
Underneath the hood are radios for Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Thread. Shortly after its launch, the Dirigera hub will receive an update to be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network via 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
According to Rebecca Töreman, the Matter standard should allow the company to create a "more seamless experience" for customers and enhance interoperability in the connected home and between connected products.
Ikea has not revealed the list of its products that will be natively compatible with the Matter standard. Owners of the Trådfri gateway will not be able to use the new app when it is ready, and the gateway will not be updated to support Matter, which is a bummer for the early adopters. This is always a risk that early adopters have to embrace. However, the current gateway and Home Smart app will continue to be supported and receive security updates and patches for "at least three years," according to Rebecca Töreman.
In addition, Trådfri owners will need to purchase the Dirigera hub when it launches, but all Ikea Home Smart devices should remain compatible. The final price of the Dirigera hub remains a secret, but it is expected to be more expensive than the Trådfri gateway, which currently costs $39.99. "The new Hub will be more expensive, as it will have more capabilities and more features," says Töreman. But of course!
Promising new features for the Ikea Home Smart app
Ikea wants to make interactions with its new Dirigera hub more intuitive. The idea is to make it easier to group Ikea's connected objects in its ecosystem and control them individually, in pairs, or in groups using the new Ikea Home smart app.
This will allow you to create different scenes with predefined functions of your connected objects and personalize your smart home even more. Hopefully the connected home becomes easier to manage as time passes by instead of having to grapple with outdated standards and other niggling issues.

The brand's third flagship restaurant in the country opens May 29 and offers a distinct dining experience
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- P.F. Chang's announced the May 29 opening of its Atlantic City, New Jersey, location as an upgraded flagship restaurant today. After three months of extensive renovations, the long-established Atlantic City location reopens as P.F. Chang's first flagship restaurant on the east coast – and third in the country.
P.F. Chang's newest flagship restaurant at 2801 N. Pacific Ave. Unit 101, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, originally opened in 2004. The 6,137-square-foot restaurant, which spans two floors and seats 186 guests, underwent an extensive renovation, resulting in significant upgrades to design, décor and ambiance.
"P.F. Chang's prides itself in offering an immersive Asian dining experience, and our new flagship restaurant in Atlantic City does that at the highest level," said Art Kilmer, chief operating officer for P.F. Chang's. "We have served this community since 2004 and believe the transformation into a distinct P.F. Chang's flagship restaurant will continue to provide customers with unforgettable experiences for years to come."
Standing tall in the middle of P.F. Chang's upgraded dining room is a cherry tree measuring 13 feet high. Four large, hand-painted murals also grace the new space and include a ceiling mural in the upstairs bar, as well as a staircase mural with glowing, neon characters that read "Atlantic City New Jersey" in Mandarin. Other design elements unique to the Atlantic City flagship location include dragon door handles leading into the bathrooms, where guests will find custom, mosaic tile murals.
When it comes to the menu, the new location will feature P.F. Chang's most popular, made-from-scratch dishes like Chang's Spicy Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Chang's Lettuce Wraps, as well as Wagyu Steak – a unique offering exclusive to P.F. Chang's flagship locations. As a brand rooted in Asian tradition, wok cooking is a distinct part of P.F. Chang's food preparation that elevates its menu by adding layers of flavor to signature items. A wide selection of handcrafted cocktails and traditional Japanese saké offered warm, chilled or infused further enhance the dining experience.
P.F. Chang's Atlantic City flagship location opens to the public on Sunday, May 29, at 4 p.m. for dinner service. Limited operating hours of 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. continue through Thursday, June 2. Effective Friday, June 3, P.F. Chang's will open at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and begin regular operating hours as follows: Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.
P.F. Chang's new Atlantic City flagship location joins two other flagship restaurants in Honolulu and Las Vegas, and a fourth P.F. Chang's flagship location is anticipated to open in New York City's Union Square later this year. The new flagship restaurants are part of an exciting brand refresh across the United States. All existing P.F. Chang's are scheduled for updates by the end of 2022, including new music, lighting, décor, uniforms and menu presentation. Additionally, P.F. Chang's continues to expand its fast-casual concept, P.F. Chang's To Go, with eight more locations slated to join the 13 existing To Go locations this year.
P.F. Chang's New Jersey flagship location brings approximately 70 new jobs to Atlantic City with opportunities in both culinary and hospitality fields. Qualified job candidates interested in a career with P.F. Chang's may apply at jobs.pfchangs.com.

You may think they have plenty of conventional spots – cliffs, islands, seaside roof-tops, chimney pots – to nest on.
But a pair of herring gulls have opted to construct their nest on the roof of a Dorset police car, taking it out of action because they are a protected species and cannot be disturbed.
In the sort of a scenario that might have appeared in Hot Fuzz, the Edgar Wright film featuring hapless West Country officers, Dorset police are having to stand by and wait for nature to take its course.
The force said that as soon as officers in Bridport spotted the nest, they knew it should not be disturbed under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
A spokesperson said: “We are now liaising with Natural England to explore what options are available to us in these unusual circumstances. As this is a spare vehicle, there are sufficient cars to meet our operational requirements and there will be no impact on our daily activities. However, we are keen to get the vehicle operational as soon as possible.”
A spokesperson from the RSPB, a conservation charity, said the car was a surprising place for a nest, but was confident it would be safe under police protection.
The spokesperson added: “Herring gulls are on the red list of highest conservation concern and, like many seabirds, face a range of threats. Fortunately, it won’t be long before the eggs hatch – and the young are away not long after hatching.”
A local resident said: “Clearly the police haven’t had to use the car for a while as it must have taken the seagulls some time to build a nest. Apparently they have been there for a few days but I haven’t seen any signs of eggs yet.”
The RSPCA said: “Birds are at their most vulnerable when nesting. Any disturbance could kill or injure wild birds and their young – or cause parent birds to abandon their nest, eggs and young.
“Nests can’t be moved or destroyed while they’re being built or still in use – apart from under certain exceptions to allow the control of certain birds for specific reasons under licence.” | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/27/protected-gulls-roost-on-roof-of-dorset-police-car | 2022-05-27T11:35:16Z | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/27/protected-gulls-roost-on-roof-of-dorset-police-car | true | 1 |

If you are looking to buy a new laptop, avoid those under Rs 30,000 as the devices in this price category are aren’t always designed to perform and may not be good for work.
However, that doesn’t have to be the case if you are looking for a notebook for educational purposes as powerful performance is not necessarily the primary requirement for students, particularly those who only use their laptops for learning.
Enter the Asus BR1100, a budget laptop that features a starting price of Rs 24,999 in India. The BR1100 is specifically designed with kids in mind -- it isn’t meant to be all-powerful but to offer an overall affordable package that can handle all educational tasks you throw at it. So without any further delays, let’s take an in-depth look at the Asus BR1100.
Design and Build
Unlike most entry level laptops, the BR1100 features a tough build. Asus has put a little more effort into amping up the durability of the BR1100, considering the laptop is “made for kids”. The laptop is made of tough plastic and rubber, which is designed to help absorb impacts and protect the laptop from damage. The BR1100 features military-grade toughness and is touted to be able to withstand knocks, bumps, drops and spills. It is designed to survive drops from 120cm and can also withstand a force of 28kg.
You also get a rubber bar and two rubber grips on the bottom of the laptop to ensure stability, while the material is also easier to grip. Additionally, there’s an Asus logo in the middle of the lid, while the screen has sizeable bezels on all four sides. The BR1100 certainly isn’t the best-looking laptop you’ll find, but it is one of the toughest in the segment, which is essential considering its primary audience is kids.
Ports
When it comes to ports, the BR1100 certainly doesn’t fall short. You get a USB-A, USB-C, and an HDMI port on the left alongside a Kensington lock slot and power output. On the right, there’s another USB-A port, an RJ45 Ethernet port, and a headphone jack.
You also get power and volume buttons on the right, while an area is sealed off, which will otherwise house a microSD card slot in other regions. The BR1100 also comes with Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 support and boots Windows 11.
Webcam & Speakers
The audio on the Asus BR1100 is handled courtesy of a dual-speaker setup powered by SonicMaster, which is located on the bottom of the laptop. The audio quality here is quite underwhelming, although the speakers get pretty loud considering the size of the laptop.
The notebook also comes with a 720p webcam that includes a physical privacy shutter. The webcam is more-than-adequate for attending virtual classes, although you’ll require a room with good lighting. ASUS has also equipped with the BR1100 with a noise-cancelling mic to help reduce background noise during calls.
Keyboard and Trackpad
For a budget laptop, the BR1100 has a pretty good keyboard. There’s no Numpad but that is often the case with 15-inch laptops, so no complaints here. The keys themselves are quite tactile and have a nice travel distance. Additionally, the keys are also well-spaced out, making it comfortable and easy to type on despite the small chassis.
The keyboard also comes with a spill-resistant design and gap-free keys, although there is a caveat here, which is the lack of backlighting. You can’t have it all! The laptop comes with a large plastic trackpad, although it isn’t very responsive, and I found using the mouse much easier. Lastly, the trackpad also has an anti-bacterial ASUS BacGuard coating. Overall, the keyboard on the laptop is excellent, especially considering its price, although the trackpad is mediocre at best.
Display
The display on the BR1100 is not the best around. Asus offers an 11.6-inch IPS LCD screen with an HD+ resolution (1366 x 768 pixels). The display offers a peak brightness of 220 nits and 45 percent NTSC coverage. Considering the laptop’s primary purpose is learning, the screen isn’t colour accurate and doesn’t get bright enough for outdoor use. It does get bright enough for indoor use, while it also has an anti-glare coating so as to prevent reflections.
Additionally, the display on the BR1100 is certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue-light emissions that help protect the eyes from potential harm. While the screen doesn’t come with touch support, it does have a 180-degree hinge design and can lay flat on a surface. However, viewing the display from different angles can’t be difficult as it doesn’t have the best viewing angles. Apart from educational use, the display wasn’t very good for watching videos.
Performance
For performance, the Asus BR1100 is equipped with an Intel Celeron N4500 dual-core processor with Intel’s UHD graphics. The CPU is paired with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 128GB of NVMe PCIe Gen3 SSD storage. The BR1100 has no openings on the bottom and uses a completely fan-less design, which means it relies on heatsinks for better heat dissipation, something we see on smartphones.
Let’s take a look at a few benchmarks to get an idea of the BR1100’s performance. In Geekbench 5, the notebook managed a single-core score of 582 points and a multi-core score of 1111 points. The integrated graphics recorded an OpenCL score of 2067 points. In Cinebench R23, the laptop recorded a multi-core score of 1051 points and a single-core score of 471 points. In real-world usage, I found that the laptop handles mundane tasks like using MS Word or browsing the internet well enough.
However, opening too many applications while multitasking or multiple tabs in Chrome can result in stutters. On the other hand, the BR1100 had a pretty fast boot time, although I don’t know how it will fare in the long run. Gaming is a complete non-starter here as the laptop can get hot on the bottom when handling one too many productivity tasks simultaneously but the heat doesn’t really reach your hands.
For an entry-level laptop which is primarily meant for educational use, I think the BR1100 performance is well-above average. And the laptop is also highly modular and comes with an easily replaceable keyboard, battery, display, thermal solution, and ports. Additionally, the M.2 NVMe SSD is upgradeable up to 2TB courtesy of a second slot, which is excellent in terms of upgradeability.
Battery
The Asus BR1100 packs 42WHrs which is sufficient enough to last around six to eight hours on average. In my experience, you can expect a little over six hours of battery life under average use. I primarily used the laptop for web browsing and watching some YouTube videos, while MS Word was also opened. The laptop was tested on the default balance mode and the screen brightness was set at 70 percent while I used it. I thought the battery life was pretty decent considering the budget Asus was working with.
Verdict
With a starting price of Rs 24,999, it is difficult to demand much of the Asus BR1100. It is actually pretty difficult to demand anything in this range. However, for an entry-level laptop, the BR1100 does do quite a few things right. You have to understand that this device is primarily designed for learning, so it is going to be far from perfect for work.
But Asus has still managed to pack an excellent Windows 11 experience on such a tight budget. If you are looking for a solid e-learning companion in the sub-25K segment, then you can’t go wrong with the BR1100. It may not be the best performer or offer good visuals, but it has tons of ports, is built to survive, offers decent battery life, has a comfortable keyboard, and is designed to be child-proof. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/asus-br1100-review-a-surprisingly-good-entry-level-laptop-that-is-built-to-endure-8586691.html/amp | 2022-05-27T11:40:27Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/asus-br1100-review-a-surprisingly-good-entry-level-laptop-that-is-built-to-endure-8586691.html/amp | false | 2 |

Shares of Chinese ride-hailing company
DiDi Global
gained after it was reported that carmaker China FAW Group is considering taking a stake in the firm.
DiDi (ticker: DIDI) rose 6% in premarket trading to $1.96.
It has come under fire from Chinese authorities after going through with a $4.4 billion U.S. listing. Shares are down more than 60% this year. Shareholders this week voted to delist from the New York Stock Exchange to better cooperate with China’s probe into the firm’s cybersecurity.
DiDi is also facing an investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission into its IPO last year.
FAW, one of China’s biggest automotive firms, has reached out to DiDi executives about becoming a major shareholder and help the company solve issues related to data security, Bloomberg reported Friday. Discussions may not lead to any transaction.
DiDi and FAW didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

50% fewer Irish homes began construction works in April compared to year prior
Fifty percent fewer Irish homes began construction works in April compared to the year prior.
That's according to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, which yesterday (Thursday May 26) released data on commencement notices - which announce a person's intention to carry out either works or a material change of use to a building - for April 2022.
A total of 2,346 notices were received by the Building Control Authority (BCA) last month compared to 4,736 in April 2021.
The latest figure is also slightly lower than March 2022 (2,809).
Thirty two thousand four hundred and fifty six new homes have begun construction in the last 12 months (May 2021 to April 2022), marking a 52% increase compared to the year prior (May 2020 to April 2021).

The Kerala High Court on Friday granted bail to senior politician P C George in a hate speech case registered in Thiruvananthapuram. George was arrested on Wednesday after a Magisterial court in Thiruvananthapuram cancelled the bail granted to the veteran politician in a case accusing him of making a hate speech against Muslims on April 29.
Earlier, in the same case, police had arrested George on May 1 for allegedly making a communal speech against Muslims while addressing the ‘Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelanam’ on April 29. However, he was given bail on the same day itself. The 70-year-old former MLA had sparked off a controversy by asking non-Muslims in Kerala to avoid eating at restaurants run by the community.
Subsequently, on May 10, another case was registered against him at Palarivattom police station in Ernakulam on charges of hate speech related to another event here. He was arrested on May 25 for violating the bail conditions in the Thiruvananthapuram hate speech case.

BTS is gearing for the release of their new anthology, Proof. The album, set to release on a three-part CD, will not only feature new songs but also some unreleased demos and the members’ handpicked tracks. While fans are preparing to dive back into time and listen to BTS’ greatest hits with the anthology, the members are revisiting each era via their Spotify account, This Is BTS.
BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook had previously spoken about the house they lived in and how they were there for each other’s graduation and other milestone moments. Now, the members revisited two of their best eras — Wings and Love Yourself.
“Should we talk about WINGS?” Suga opened the discussion and the members immediately began talking about their award-winning song Blood Sweat & Tears. “Blood Sweat & Tears is the lead single of Wings. Our experiences have made us sweat blood, sweat and tears. Let’s talk about that,” Min Yoongi said. “I went on a hardcore diet back then,” Park Jimin recalled, drawing a reaction from Kim Taehyung.
“Oh yeah, Jimin starved for ten days,” Kim Namjoon chipped in. “Wow. True blood sweat and tears,” Jeon Jungkook added. “Because we won our first Billboard Music Award with Blood Sweat & Tears, I think back to that time a lot,” Jimin confessed.

J-Hope recalled that after the song won at the Billboard Music Awards, they heard the song being played everywhere. “After Blood, Sweat & Tears, we move on to the Love Yourself series. We have songs DNA, Fake Love, and Idol,” Namjoon said before adding, “It was the most difficult album but we enjoyed it.”
“I personally liked how we moved on from relatively dark music to more energetic music. The mood changed completely,” Kim Seokjin said. “The album also had a solid narrative arc. I studied a lot for the album Love Yourself. Like studying music for instance. So I think that’s when I made huge progress,” Jung Hoseok said.
“And we also did a campaign, the Love Myself campaign,” Kim Taehyung added. “Wow, we really had a busy life in our 20s,” Yoongi noted. “We became more mature during the Love Yourself period,” Namjoon observed.
It has been almost nine years since BTS made their debut and through their journey, they’ve achieved numerous milestones, including bagging two Grammy nominations. The most recent milestone is the invitation to The White House. On Thursday, The White House announced that BTS will be meeting US President Joe Biden to discuss anti-Asian hate crimes and celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month.

Former Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone denied on Friday he had been arrested in Brazil and said an illegal gun found in his luggage before boarding a flight was never used and had no ammunition.

The 91-year-old Briton, now in Portugal, told Reuters a ”silly, tiny little incident” had caused a lot of aggravation as he and his family tried to leave Sao Paulo by private plane on Wednesday night.
”I haven’t had any publicity lately and I thought I ought to do something to get some,” he joked in a telephone conversation.
Sao Paulo state public security office confirmed in a statement to Reuters on Thursday that a businessman was arrested for possession of a firearm at Campinas’ airport, but did not name him directly..
”I was never arrested,” said Ecclestone, who confirmed that he had to pay 6,060 reais ($1,260) bail before being allowed to leave.
”They wanted it in local currency which we never had,” he added. ”So there was another drama trying to find the money. I was leaving the country, I didn’t have any local money.
”It was a bleeding drama, unnecessary, over a nothing.”
Ecclestone said he had bought the handgun, a LW Seecamp .32, from a Formula One mechanic or tyre man in Brazil years ago without ammunition and purely as a deterrent.
”They said you need something like this,” he explained. ”It might work if someone tried to mug you or something. So I bought it from the guy.
”I had it in the house and used to muck around with it if people came to visit me or something, we would joke around,” he added.
Ecclestone said he had left it in a shirt pocket and the people packing his luggage put it in a suitcase without being aware of the gun.
An airport scan then revealed the gun, which had not been registered.
”It was never going to be shot, it never had any bullets so I never bothered to register it. I didn’t know you had to,” said Ecclestone.
The billionaire said he then spent from 8 pm until 5 am at the airport making statements and completing paperwork before leaving in the morning.
Ecclestone is married to Brazilian-born Fabiana Ecclestone, an FIA vice-president and member of the World Motor Sport Council.
Her mother Aparecida Schunck was kidnapped in Sao Paulo in 2016, with criminals demanding 120 million reais ($25.07 million) in ransom before she was freed nine days later in a police raid without any money being paid.

For the price of a cup of coffee, the FAI could re-arm referees with the vanishing foam that may make all the difference to League of Ireland clubs striving to qualify for European competition.
The crucial aid for refs in the SSE Airtricity League has, er, vanished.
While all of Europe’s top leagues continue to provide refs with the vanishing spray cans for marking where free-kicks must be taken, and where players must stand, the League of Ireland has reverted to the old way of trial and error.
The spray cans retail at approximately €6 each and are good for at least two games, sometimes three, according to senior referee sources.
Without the foam, players are steadily encroaching, inch by inch, foot by foot, yard by yard when defending free-kicks.
In doing so, the advantage for the attacking team is being diluted along with their prospects of a set-piece goal.
Come the final day of the season, a team may need to score to win a game to qualify for a lucrative UEFA windfall, or to avoid relegation.
Without the foam as the point of no-return, there is zero chance of players staying put behind an imaginary ten-yard line.
Clubs have kept quiet until now but Shamrock Rovers, who are probably awarded more frees closer to their opponents’ goal than most, have cried foul.
‘Every team is going to take the yard, two yards, three yards,’ said Rovers head coach Stephen Bradley. ‘There was a free-kick the other night (against Drogheda) and the wall was at best six yards away.’
Ronan Finn, a superb ambassador for Irish club football for 17 years, was booked on Monday for remonstrating with the fourth official that the Drogheda United ‘wall’ had moved up.
‘The league seems to not use the spray any more. I think it’s really poor,’ said the Rovers club captain. ‘It’s a professional environment, a professional league and we’re trying to do the right things as players and staff. It’s just not good enough. We’re either professional or we’re not.
‘When you get a free-kick at the edge of the box, you expect the referee to put down spray, to help themselves, but they don’t.’
In that event, players can’t help themselves and they tip-toe towards the ball. Finn includes himself among the culprits.
‘In fairness, you’re going to try and creep yards — I’d do it — it’s natural,’ he said.
‘I don’t want to sound bitter or sour and think that’s why we lost the game (to Drogheda) because it’s not the reason.
‘I’m not asking for VAR or goalline technology, but this is a physical can that will help the referees make better decisions and make players make better decisions because they’ll go, “Right, I can’t do this because I’ll get a card”.
‘It’s black or white. You either creep and get away with it, or you can’t creep because there is a line in front of you.’
The spray foam was introduced to football at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil. It is visible for 45 to 60 seconds and acts as a deterrent to prevent defenders from advancing illegally towards the ball at free-kicks.
It has become hugely popular and will be used in the Champions League final on Saturday and the World Cup finals in Qatar later this year.
At €6 a can, the season’s outlay for 210 Premier Division games would be €1,260. As the spray lasts for two games, the sum would also cover all First Division games. It seems a small price to pay to ensure a level playing field.
When contacted by Sportsmail yesterday, the FAI, after a lengthy delay, replied: ‘This matter is under review and we plan to reintroduce the spray you reference at the earliest opportunity.’ | https://extra.ie/2022/05/27/sport/soccernews/vanishing-spray-disappears-league-of-ireland | 2022-05-27T11:54:41Z | https://extra.ie/2022/05/27/sport/soccernews/vanishing-spray-disappears-league-of-ireland | true | 1 |

Sheena Collier, founder and CEO of Boston While Black, says that Boston has no trouble attracting talent, with its world-class universities and job opportunities in sectors like tech and life sciences.
But as for keeping that talent here, not so much.
One problem, Collier says, is the fact that many see the city’s social scene as kind of a snoozefest.

Tokyo, May 27 (Jiji Press)--U.S. fighter jets based in Japan conducted bombing practice on Wednesday after engaging in a joint drill with Japanese Air Self-Defense Force fighters earlier that day, informed sources said Friday.
The drills, carried out after a joint flight operation by Chinese and Russian bombers around Japan and North Korea's ballistic missile firing, was aimed at demonstrating the deterrence and response capabilities of the Japan-U.S. alliance, according to the sources.
The joint exercise was participated by four F-15 fighters from the ASDF Second Air Wing, based in Chitose, Hokkaido, northernmost Japan, and four F-16 fighters from the U.S. military's 35th Fighter Wing, based in Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, according to officials of Japan's Defense Ministry and others.
The eight aircraft flew in formation over the Sea of Japan and then return to their respective bases. The U.S. fighters then conducted bombing practice at a training range.
A total of six Chinese and Russian bombers jointly flew around Japan while a summit among the leaders of the Quad countries of Japan, the United States, Australia and India was taking place in Tokyo on Tuesday.

James Charles lost 80,000 followers after posting a photo of himself tucking
27 May 2022, 12:19
James has 22.9 Instagram followers.
Listen to this article
James Charles says he lost 80,000 followers after sharing a photo of himself "tucking" on Instagram.
This week, James has been making the most of the weather, spending his days making videos by the pool. In one clip, the YouTuber twerked while wearing a teeny cut-out swimsuit. But the crotch area was looking particularly smooth and people began to speculate that not only had James had a BBL, he had also had his penis removed.
One person tweeted: "You cannot convince me James Charles doesn't have a vagina." Another commented on Instagram: "Where his pp at?"

Well, to prove people wrong, James decided to share a photo of himself tucking, a practice often used in drag, which involves pulling the penis back and securing it with tape to mimic the appearance of a vagina.
In the image, James is bent over with his hand right down his swimsuit trying to rearrange his package. He captioned it: "When people ask me if I 'cut it off' here's ur answer hahahaha."
People couldn't believe James had actually shared that image and reacted on social media.

Now it seems James' followers also weren't too fond of James' little overshare either. In fact, he lost loads of followers because of it.
On Instagram Stories, James revealed: "I lost 80,000 followers today for posting that tucking story. I'm so sorry that y'all are boring, u will not be missed."
However, it seems the damage could be even worse. According to Social Blade, on May 26 James lost 83,213 followers. But so far on May 27, he's lost a further 57,800…
