Miles Teller has never been one to duck a challenge.
The actor, whose performance as a tormented virtuoso jazz drummer in the Oscar-winning Whiplash still ranks top of his résumé, has a history of picking roles that demand a physical and emotional commitment to a character. For the most part, these challenges – perfecting an instrument, getting into shape and so on – have come with the territory for serious leading men. Training to avoid gravity-induced loss of consciousness, on the other hand, has not.
Teller stars as Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to Tony Scott’s 1980s blockbuster – and suffice to say, learning to deliver lines at 1,000mph is not an experience he intends to forget in a hurry. Ahead of the movie’s global release on May 27, TechRadar spoke with the actor to talk jets, g-force and the pressures (and privilege) of working with Tom Cruise.
“With Whiplash, I only had about, I think, two-and-a-half weeks of drum lessons, which was really condensed and intense,” Teller tells us in London, some three years after last taking to the skies of Nevada for Top Gun: Maverick. “On [boxing movie] Bleed for This, I lost probably 20 pounds and the training for that was also really intense. But with Top Gun, the difficulty really was just how long it all was – because we flew for about four months before we started filming.”
Teller is referring to the gruelling training regime imposed by ringmaster Cruise on all of the movie’s actors to prepare them for life at 30,000 feet. We could describe the program in detail here, but we’d sooner recommend watching the below video to really get a sense of the physical demands involved in the film’s production.
“And then [once we’d finished the training],” Teller continues, “we were flying almost every day, and it was a skill that we had to keep practising constantly. So, I mean, every type of movie preparation I’ve done has been unique – but this one was really tough.”
But Top Gun: Maverick didn’t only prove a physical challenge for Teller and company. As the movie’s director, Joseph Kosinski, explained in a separate interview with TechRadar, the F-18 fighter jets used throughout were fitted with six cockpit cameras, and the actors themselves were tasked with ensuring that footage captured in the air was up to scratch.
“Once we got up in the jet, the only person we could talk to was the pilot,” Teller explains, “and we would have to be perfectly in sync with them because if he, for example, moves the stick left and I’m a second behind [in my dialogue], now the plane is moving ahead of time and I'm a little delayed. So that doesn't look right.
“But we were also camera operators who would start and stop the camera, which meant we’d have to be in charge of the continuity of it all – making sure that our eyelines matched with what had been filmed earlier, and that everything was cohesive from take to take.”
We ask Teller whether he enjoyed that autonomy as an actor: “No, dude!” he laughs. “I like when other people are doing their job and I only have to worry about acting.” We appreciate the honesty.
Family ties
Rooster is the son of Maverick’s late co-pilot, Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw (played by Anthony Edwards in Scott’s original movie), and his unexpected arrival at the present-day Top Gun flight school forces Cruise’s aging ace to reckon with the trauma of his past.
Beyond a (rather large) handful of callbacks – windswept motorcycle rides and shirtless beach scenes chief among them – this awkward association forms Top Gun: Maverick’s narrative linchpin and makes for its most meaningful connection to the 1986 classic. But did Teller find that his character’s relationship to Goose brought with it a weight of expectation?
“Well, I think it's two-sided,” the actor explains, “because you understand what the audience is going to want and expect in certain moments. And I think when Rooster walks on screen, you want to be able to understand, from his look, that ‘Oh, that's got to be Goose’s kid!’”
Fans of the original won’t have any trouble joining the dots. Teller’s Rooster makes quite the entrance in Kosinski’s sequel, swaggering into the movie’s first bar scene bearing a near-identical moustache and Hawaiian shirt to his father, before hopping on the ivories to deliver a similarly rousing rendition of Great Balls of Fire.
“But that being said,” Teller continues, “my character’s dad passed away when he was really just a toddler, so if you have too much of a likeness to him, I think it wouldn't really make sense. It was about striking a healthy balance between paying homage and defining this character as his own.”
The best of the best
As for working with Tom Cruise, an actor – nay, the actor – often regarded as Hollywood’s last true movie star, Teller is keen to praise his role as a teacher as much as a co-star.
“Nobody had ever really done footage like this,” he explains, “so Tom was really training everybody and even himself. He was discovering how to get these shots when you're in one jet and you’re filming with another jet – how to really capture those sequences. I think Tom's favourite word is ‘dynamic’. We would do something and he would say ‘it's not dynamic enough!’ So then you’ve got to up the dynamism… the dynamite!”
Teller wasn’t the only one under Cruise’s stewardship. Relative newcomers Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Danny Ramirez and Greg Tarzan Davis were among the other young actors enlisted in the star’s unconventional filmmaking bootcamp, and the entire ensemble manage to hold their own in scenes that could so easily have been dominated by the indomitable Hollywood charm of their tutor.
But while Top Gun: Maverick’s cast more than rose to the challenge of aerial acting, having to perform at consistently face-warping speeds didn’t come without the occasional need for “barf bags” inside the cockpit. Naturally, we ask Teller: of all the movie’s new recruits, who was the worst at handling the g-force?
“Oh, man. Well, we don’t like to talk about it,” he says, smiling. “That’s not being a very good wingman. But one of the guys… yeah, I mean he was puking almost every time, even on the very last day. So I'll leave it up to the audience to guess who that is.”
Our money’s on Glen Powell.

Jennifer Bisceglie, founder and CEO of Interos, joins Aileen Black on Leaders and Legends to explain how she turned a small startup into a dynamic supply chair risk management and operational resilience company.
Interos has disrupted the traditional supply chain risk management discipline, bringing 24/7 real-time visibility into every supplier at every tier and at every location around the world.
It gives companies the tools they need to detect and respond to supply chain crises before they happen. Clients include the Defense Department, NASA and a host of Fortune 500 companies.
Bisceglie described Interos as a “see everything, do anything, operational resilience company” that is now valued at more than $1 billion.
According to Bisceglie, she was able to set a clear vision for what she wanted to accomplish at Interos. She then “hired a great team” to carry that vision out.
Bisceglie said one of the keys to effective leadership is to give your teams all the resources they need to do their jobs and then get out of their way. She describes her leadership style as “up and out, not down and in,” and now focuses most of her attention on moving the company forward.
Bisceglie also believes that culture is key to a successful strategy execution. She interviewed the first 150 people hired at Interos because she wanted to be sure they shared her vision on the organization’s culture.
“It is important that we have a culture that values mutual respect. It is OK to have healthy friction, but with respect. My door is always open and you need to value everyone’s opinion,” she said.
Bisceglie’s leadership style was also influenced by one of her favorite books: Sharon Hadary’s How Women Lead: The 8 Essential Strategies Successful Women Know. She said the book taught her how to use information to drive results and how to make that information your ally.
That lesson stuck with her when she went to Sand Hill road in the Silicon Valley to meet with potential investors for her company.
She learned that “first you need to be a ‘subject expert.’ Second, you need to be sure you are solving a problem. Third, you need to have ‘grit and be scrappy.’ The fourth is you need to know your numbers and the story and the results that can be driven. Build business acumen.”
Bisceglie also shared her thoughts on what government can do to build a more resilient supply chain.
“Get rid of uncertainty and mandate transparency in the supply chain. This will allow people to visually see the supply chain, the risks and the ethical issues associated with it. This will allow us to de-risk our supply chains and allow people to make choices on where and what they consume,” she said.
Bisceglie also offered some advice to the next generation future women entrepreneurs.
“Just do it. If you have an idea, you can make it happen,” she said. “Ask for help. Have persistence and apply grit. Just do it.” | https://federalnewsnetwork.com/leaders-and-legends/2022/05/interos-ceo-explains-how-to-build-a-company-from-the-ground-up/ | 2022-05-27T12:20:13Z | https://federalnewsnetwork.com/leaders-and-legends/2022/05/interos-ceo-explains-how-to-build-a-company-from-the-ground-up/ | true | 1 |

Every side in League One have announced their retained lists following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.
Only one more team's place to be decided in the division with the victors of the League Two play-off final between Port Vale and Mansfield Town this weekend. All focus is now upon the 2022/23 campaign and gearing up for the latest instalment of League One.
Bolton Wanderers have already made a start on that front. Jack Iredale has became the club's first signing of the summer transfer window as he put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the University of Bolton Stadium and links up with Wanderers after turning down a new contract offer at Cambridge United.

More business is planned in the coming weeks as Ian Evatt adds reinforcements to his squad with the aim of making a push for promotion next season. The Wanderers boss wants the bulk of his summer business done before the start of pre-season training on June 17, with the new season starting on July 31.
Wanderers have released eight players following the conclusion of the regular campaign and many in League One have revealed their retained lists now. Only a handful teams in the division are yet to release their retained lists.
Sunderland become the final side promoted out of League One after beating Wycombe Wanderers in the play-off final last weekend to join Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United in the Championship. The Latics, Black Cats and Chairboys have now released their retained lists, meaning all 24 sides which competed in the third tier of English football in the 2021/22 season have now done so.

HONG KONG, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) ("BIT Mining," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our company"), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Cryptocurrency Business Progress
BIT Mining is a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company with three primary business segments covering self-mining, mining pool and data center operation. The Company is pursuing its development strategy to focus on cryptocurrency mining operations globally.
As of today, the online total hash rate capacity of our Ethereum mining machines is approximately 4,452.7GH/s. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we produced 5,420 Ethereum from our Ethereum cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$16.0 million.
As of today, the online total hash rate capacity of our Bitcoin mining machines is approximately 246.1PH/s. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we produced 166 Bitcoins from our Bitcoin cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$6.9 million.
In terms of our data center business, we have hosted a cryptocurrency mining data center in Ohio (the "Ohio Mining Site"). As of today, we have completed the substation with power capacity of 50 megawatts which are operational at the Ohio Mining Site.
The mining pool subsidiary of the Company, BTC.com, has completely exited the China market, ceased registering new users from China and started to retire accounts of existing users from China since October 2021. Combined with the effect of declines in prices of cryptocurrencies in the first quarter of 2022, mining pool business revenue decreased from US$474.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to US$272.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
"We are glad to announce our financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, as we continue to execute on our strategy to create value within the cryptocurrency ecosystem," said Mr. Xianfeng Yang, CEO of BIT Mining. "Over the past quarter, we focused on our expansion in North America and have made significant progress in the construction of our data centers in Ohio. In the meantime, we continued our Bitcoin and Ethereum mining businesses and the integration of other businesses such as mining pool operation and mining machine manufacturing to create synergies. Given our early-mover advantage in Ethereum mining, we are also making inroads into Proof-of-Stake (POS) operations by providing a series of services including governance and monitoring, account system and nodes management. Looking forward, we plan to continue to enhance our value proposition and further strengthen our mining technology."

SYDNEY, May 17, 2022
SYDNEY, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA), a late-stage, oncology-focused drug development company, marks 'DIPG Awareness Day' by recognizing the tireless work of global researchers in this disease, and by calling for an increased focus on childhood brain cancer among policymakers.
Brain tumours represent the second most common group of cancers in children worldwide, after leukemia, but are the most common cause of cancer death. Around 10-15% of childhood brain cancers are diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), a group that includes diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
DIPG most commonly affects children between four and eleven years of age. There is currently no FDA-approved therapy for the disease, and median survival is just 9 – 11 months from diagnosis.
Kazia's paxalisib is the subject on an ongoing phase II study in DIPG and DMGs (NCT05009992), sponsored by the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). Data from the study is anticipated in CY2023.
New Data to be Presented at ISPNO Conference
The PNOC phase II study has been substantially informed by work undertaken at the Hunter Medical Research Institute in Newcastle, Australia, by Associate Professor Matt Dun and colleagues. Dr Dun is one of the leading researchers in this disease.
Dr Dun will be presenting new preclinical data describing the activity of paxalisib in DIPG at the upcoming 20th International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO), which will be held in Hamburg, Germany, from 11 to 12 June 2022. Dr Dun's presentation will specifically cover the combination of paxalisib with ONC201 (Chimerix, Inc).
Dr Dun commented, "Thirty years ago, children diagnosed with leukemia only had a 20-30% chance of survival. Thanks to advances in medicine and a wealth of scientific research, that has now increased to over 90%. This is the paradigm we want to mirror with DIPG and I am pleased to report we are currently seeing some very promising results with our research. We are working tirelessly to progress the human clinical trials with the aim of being able to offer new hope to those families with a DIPG diagnosis."
Upcoming Analyst Presentation
Kazia CEO, Dr James Garner, will participate in an upcoming analyst discussion on childhood brain cancer, led by Dr Naureen Quibria, Senior Biotech Analyst at Maxim Group. The panel discussion will also include Dr Josh Allen, Chief Medical Officer of Chimerix, Inc, and Dr Sabine Mueller, lead investigator on the PNOC phase II study of paxalisib and ONC201 in DIPG.
The webinar is scheduled for 9am, ET, on Thursday 19 May 2022 and interested parties may register to attend the webinar via the following link:-

VANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") shares the following letter to Shareholders from GoldHaven's recently appointed CEO, Justin Canivet, CFA.
Dear GoldHaven Shareholders,
Good morning. It is my sincere pleasure to be writing this, my first letter to you. I feel somewhat remiss for not having delivered my inaugural shareholder address a little sooner, but I am a "details" guy, and paying close attention to the details takes time.
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will
spend the first four sharpening the axe."
- Abraham Lincoln
I appreciate your patience these past few months, but please know that in the spirit of Mr. Lincoln's wise words, I have been diligently sharpening the GoldHaven axe. And as your CEO, I would like to emphasize five of my top strategic priorities:
Prudent Expense Management
I have tightened monthly burn to ensure that the Company's cash position can facilitate as much groundwork as possible.
Implementing a more "Laser-Focused" Strategy
I have refined work programs so that we allocate capital responsibly to the projects that have shown the most promising early technical indicators.
Company-wide Risk Mitigation
I have taken the steps necessary to minimize risk exposure.
Being Opportunistic
All opportunities that are accretive to GOH shareholders will be considered.
Over the years I have consulted with many public companies across several different sectors. What I have found to be most effective as a corporate communication strategy is something I have personally coined as my "3M" communication strategy. Messaging. Materials. Marketing. Then wash, rinse, repeat as they say. We will be telling the GoldHaven story to everyone. Note that I have also changed our wire distribution provider to Cision, so our news will reach ALL terminals and news outlets going forward.
The fact of the matter is, external market forces beyond our control have created challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic, global armed conflict, and rising inflation have all had a real economic impact. Nobody is immune. The junior exploration sector has been under pressure. The price of gold has fluctuated, rallying to over $2,000/ounce this past March, but is now hovering in the $1,800-$1,900 range. While price fluctuations will continue, I am confident in a strong long-term trend.
With a project portfolio spanning Northern Chile, British Columbia and Newfoundland, GoldHaven holds claim to some of the most proliferous exploration ground in the western hemisphere. The technical expertise we have is second to none. With proper decision making and responsible allocation of capital, GoldHaven is well-positioned for success.
As you know, initial exploration at Smoke Mountain resulted in the identification of a 2.5-kilometre-long Cu-Au-Zn mineralization trend (click here for news release).
Surge Copper's Berg property adjoins Smoke Mountain to the south and contains multiple newly discovered electromagnetic targets underscoring their view that this, "district hosts a large porphyry cluster with significant exploration potential" (Surge Copper's News Release, dated April 12, 2022, click here).
Surge Copper's CEO, Leif Nilsson has confidence that this district has significant untapped exploration potential and could one day be considered as one of the largest copper districts in Canada (click here).
I am thrilled to let you know that Phase II work at Smoke Mountain is scheduled to begin in the coming days and will consist of approximately 30 days of field work. Results from surface sampling are expected in August/September depending on lab turn around. Airborne LiDAR, MAG, Radiometrics and Z-Tipper Axis Electromagnetic (ZTEM) surveying will also be flown over the course of the summer all of which together will enhance our geological understanding of the project, increase confidence in our existing targets and generate new ones.
Depending on what we see from this next campaign, we are presently considering further follow-up fieldwork in the Fall of this year which could potentially yield results that would warrant follow-up ground-based induced polarization surveying followed by prioritization for drill testing targets in 2023.
I have also put the wheels in motion for beginning a dialogue with the local indigenous communities in the area of Smoke Mountain as we recognize the importance of establishing a respectful working relationship.
We are also keen to continue exploration in Newfoundland. Pat's Pond has shown promising early results from Phase I surface sampling (rocks). Staying true to our laser focus, we have chosen to move away from O'Neill as the early technical indicators there were not very supportive. We will focus on Pat's Pond going forward.
GoldHaven has also applied for the province's JEA (Junior Exploration Assistance) program, which will allow for $150,000 of additional exploration capital.
And at long last we have received the requisite exploration permitting for Pat's Pond, and I am presently negotiating a comprehensive Phase II follow-up campaign, which will include further fieldwork (geology and prospecting), a soil geochemistry survey over the most prospective portion of the property and an airborne magnetic survey over the entire property. These efforts will help us to better define the true resource potential there.
The political situation in Chile remains a risk, and the cost of exploration is high - particularly for junior explorers. I am carefully considering all factors in my evaluation of GoldHaven's go-forward strategy in Chile.
Measures have already been taken to mitigate risk exposure. GoldHaven's Chile Advisory Board remains intact, and Chris Benn - a well-known geochemist/geologist who has served as Chief Geochemist for a number of majors in the region - has recently completed a follow-up analysis on the additional sample material that was collected at our Alicia and Roma claims prior to work being shut down there.
Chris' analysis indicates that further trenching and surface sampling is required to have a proper understanding of the economic geology at Alicia and Roma and to allow for a more systematic ranking of the 12 high priority targets previously identified.
Given all of these factors, I have decided that our best approach in Chile right now is to take the time to responsibly monitor the ongoing political situation and carefully evaluate all possible strategic opportunities to ensure we extract the most value possible from our assets there. This will take a bit of time, and as such, we will be reporting back to you in the coming months with a more concrete decision regarding our go forward approach in Chile.
Thank you for your continued support and I very much look forward to reporting our progress as we execute on our laser-focused strategy towards unlocking the highest resource potential possible. I appreciate the importance of keeping shareholders informed and I am committed to ensuring regular, timely communication with you as we move forward. Yes, markets have been challenging in recent months, but we rise to the challenge. This is a rebuilding phase for GoldHaven, and I am truly optimistic about our future.
Please come and see us at PDAC next month, Booth #3143. It will be my pleasure to meet you in person and tell you more about the GoldHaven story.
Sincerely,
Justin Canivet, CFA
CEO, GoldHaven Resources Corp.
GoldHaven Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior precious metals exploration Company focused on acquiring and exploring highly prospective land packages in both Canada and Chile. GoldHaven maintains a strategic presence in the gold and silver rich Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile which is host to several mining and advanced exploration projects including Salares Norte (Gold Fields), Esperanza (Kingsgate Consolidated), La Coipa (Kinross), Cerro Maricunga (Fenix Gold), Lobo Marte (Kinross), Volcan (Volcan), Refugio (Kinross/Bema), Caspiche (Goldcorp/Barrick), and Cerro Casale (Goldcorp/Barrick). The Company has identified a total of 12 high-priority targets at it's Alicia and Roma project areas in the Maricunga within a prominent regional NW-SE structural trend along strike from Gold Field's Salares Norte deposit (5.2 million ounces of Gold1). These targets have been designated "High Priority" due to the extent, pervasive alteration, favourable geology, highly animals rock geochemical results, and their relative proximity to existing deposits. GoldHaven is also making exploration progress at its Smoke Mountain property (Canada) which is strategically located in the Central British Columbia Porphyry-Epithermal Belt in close proximity to Surge Copper's Berg project, as well as its Pat's Pond and O'Neill claims in Newfoundland's Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (Canada). Pat's Pond is strategically located in close proximity to Marathon Gold's Valentine Lake gold project and on strike from the Boomerang/Domino VMS deposit. Both project areas in Canada are highly prospective for gold, copper, silver and zinc and all project areas have large scale discovery potential.

'Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind' opens at EPCOT: Your guide to Disney's newest coaster
ORLANDO, Fla. - In the words of Rocket Raccoon: oh yeah!
The highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster is officially open at EPCOT in Orlando, Florida. Not only is this the first Walt Disney World ride featuring a Marvel franchise, but it's the very first roller coaster for EPCOT.
If you plan on taking a spin and helping the Guardians save the galaxy, below is your guide to the wildest adventure through time and space!
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: COSMIC REWIND'
The family-friendly roller coaster has been described as a "storycoaster" that rotates 360 degrees as you go on an intergalactic chase to help the Guardians. It also features the first reverse launch on a coaster in Disney history and is one of the longest enclosed coasters in the world.

You’ll get to know the Xandarians, who’ve traveled from their home world to EPCOT to show off their technologies. As you make your way through their world, something goes wrong, and the Guardians of the Galaxy are called in.
Another cool surprise is that Glenn Close reprises her role as Nova Prime, the leader of Xandar and commander of the Nova Corps. You can catch Nova Prime in the new Wonders of Xandar "other-world" pavilion.
Annual passholders who got to preview the ride are raving about it.
"Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is PHENOMENAL!! I would love to say more but don’t want to spoil it for everyone. If you’re on the fence, go for it! I highly doubt you’ll regret it," Sharlene Sledge wrote on the passholders page on Facebook.
PHOTOS: Inside EPCOT'S new ‘Guardian of the Galaxy’ attraction
Rider Elizabeth Spears wrote that the ride is extremely smooth and the intensity is similar to the Slinky Dog or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train rides, but "seems more because of the music, like Rockin Rollercoaster."
HOW TO ENTER THE VIRTUAL QUEUE
Starting at 7 a.m. on the day of your EPCOT park reservation, hop onto the "My Disney Experience App" to request to join the virtual queue and to snag a boarding group. You do not need to be at the park to join it. You can join while leaving your house on the way to the park or from your Disney World Resort hotel.
Tip: Get on the screen to join a few minutes before 7 a.m. and refresh a few times. As soon as the time hits 7 a.m., be fast with your fingers to try and get a spot.

If the 7 a.m. boarding group fills up, you will have another chance at 1 p.m. to join the virtual queue. However, you must be inside the park to try and get a slot during the second opportunity.
Disney reminds guests that joining the virtual queue does not guarantee getting to ride the new coaster. Also, there will not be a traditional standby line.
Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels will get an additional opportunity to request to join the virtual queue at 6 p.m. on select dates during extended evening theme park hours.
If you want to try and use the individual Lightning Lane, you can purchase a pass through the "My Disney Experience App" via the Disney Genie service on the day of your visit. Keep in mind that time slots are anticipated to fill up fast.
HOW TALL DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO RIDE ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: COSMIC REWIND?’
The new ‘Guardians’ ride is a family coaster with a height requirement of 42 inches.
DOES THE RIDE GO UPSIDE-DOWN?
Nope.
WHAT SONGS WILL I HEAR ON THE RIDE?
Your onboard audio will crank hit tunes from the ’70s and ‘80s as you race through the cosmos with your favorite characters from the films.
The ‘Awesome Mix’ playlist of 6 songs for riders to jam to include:
- "September"
- "Disco Inferno"
- "Conga"
- "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"
- "I Ran"
- "One Way or Another"
Riders won't know which track they'll hear until they actually blast off – similar to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Paris Fury and her daughter Venezuela looked the double of each other as they dressed up for a birthday night out.
The wife of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury shared a rare photo of her eldest child as they posed for the picture in the lavish reception way of their Lancashire mansion.
Proud mum-of-six Paris, shared on her Instagram Stories: "Me and my Venezuela off to the birthday party last night."
Paris, 32, was looking suitably stylish as ever wearing a pink trouser suit and nude high wasted top with Venezuela opting for a chic white mini dress with strappy sandals.
Paris recently enjoyed some time with her eldest daughter on a trip to London on the train.
Sharing a shot of the pair side by side she posted: ''A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with and love with all your heart.''
Paris recently told how she had withdrawn Venezuela from school to follow 'the traditional traveller way'.
Paris and Tyson are also parents to Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson Fury II, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, two, Valencia Amber, four, and Athena, who was born in August 2021.
"Venezuela wanted to leave school and all her (traveller) friends were leaving," she said.
Paris added that her daughter will continue with her education, explaining: "Her tutor is gonna keep her up to date with all of her tests. She will also be having piano lessons."
Both Tyson and Paris were brought up with a traditional gypsy lifestyle, leaving school at 11 without any qualifications.
Tyson's 2020 ITV's documentary, Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King gave insight into the couple's extraordinary life living in Morecambe, Lancashire.
And life could be set to get even busier after Carl Froch appeared to drop the bombshell that they were expecting again.
Although the family is yet to confirm the news, they have made no secret of their desire to have an even bigger family, with Tyson declaring they want 11 children.

By Phil Lutton
The Gold Coast Titans have really outdone themselves this time, blowing a 24-4 halftime lead against a Broncos side that had one of its biggest stars booed every time he carried the ball in front of his home crowd at Suncorp Stadium.
For a long time, it seemed the Payne Haas saga had taken a heavy toll on the in-form Broncos. Haas has asked for a release from his contract after his pay demands weren’t met, something Brisbane have made it clear won’t be happening.
With lock Tino Fa’asuamaleaui turning in an inspired stint in the opening half, amassing 203m from 18 carries, the Titans raced to a 24-4 lead and Brisbane seemed anything but interested in a resurgence.
But amid a chaotic series of mind-boggling decisions, including a bizarre short kick-off that saw the Broncos score their second try in a two-minute stretch, and a double sin-binning, the Titans folded up like beach chairs at Burleigh to lose 35-24.
It was an ugly defeat against a Brisbane side missing halfback and captain Adam Reynolds. But even without their star off-season signing, the Broncos were able to pour on 31 unanswered points in the second half to record their sixth-straight win.
Even the fans roundly booing Haas seemed to soften their stance once he began to notch up post-contact metres in the second half and leading one of the best comebacks of the season. It was a reminder of why Brisbane will do their utmost to keep him at the club and hope to find a middle ground on the price tag.
The Titans weren’t short of strong contributors in the first half. Jayden Campbell, AJ Brimson and even David Fifita, much-maligned this season, had major impacts. The defence was desperate and effective as the Broncos failed to make any sort of dent in the line.
But the implosion can be traced back to Sam McIntyre’s sin binning for holding down Selwyn Cobbo in the 32nd minute, before Esan Marsters earned himself a spell for the same thing a minute later. Amazingly, the Titans scored through Fifita when they were undermanned but with halfback Toby Sexton (shoulder) also injured in period, the wheels were beginning to wobble.
Kevin Walters demanded more energy from the Broncos in the second half and the Titans are notoriously vulnerable. Once the tries started, they never seemed to stop, with Te Maire Martin scoring his first try in Broncos colours and the rest of his team lining up for their chance to cross.
The Gold Coast still had control of the scoreboard after that try but a short kick-off was scooped up by Corey Paix, who found Jordan Riki, who raced away to score Brisbane’s second try in as many minutes. The Titans were shot ducks.
Titans coach Justin Holbrook had been touted as the man to lead the Gold Coast into regular forays to the finals but his side has no poise and identity. Their decision-making was gone as soon as Sexton left the field. That improved upon his return but by them, the game was gone.

(The Hill) — Outraged by the inaction of lawmakers on gun violence, students across the country held walkouts Thursday in the wake of a brutal massacre in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were gunned down at an elementary school.
From Meridian High School in Virginia to El Camino Real Charter High School in California, students across the country took part in walkouts to demand gun control measures, according to social media reports and local news outlets.
Meanwhile in Rhode Island, students from several schools in Providence laid down for three minutes outside the Rhode Island State House, according to a tweet from state Sen. Tiara Mack (D).
At Oxford High School in Michigan, over 100 students walked out of class on Thursday, the Detroit Free Press reported. The school was the site of its own deadly shooting on Nov. 30, where four students were killed.
In Buffalo, Minn., students at Buffalo High School took part in another walkout on Thursday, WCCO, a local CBS affiliate, reported. Buffalo was also the site of shooting last year at Allina Health Buffalo Crossroads Clinic. That incident left one medical assistant dead and several others injured.
But that shooting is not to be confused with another mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., where 10 people were killed at a grocery store earlier this month.
The scale and widespread nature of the walkouts, many of which were conducted in partnership with Students Demand Action, indicate just how much gun violence has permeated communities across the country.
Since 2009, 274 mass shootings have taken place in the country, killing 1,536 people, according to research from Everytown for Gun Safety.
In the last 12 years, one in every four victims of a mass shooting was a child, the group’s data showed.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization says nearly 200 cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 20 countries not usually known to have outbreaks of the unusual disease, but described the epidemic as "containable" and proposed creating a stockpile to equitably share the limited vaccines and drugs available worldwide.
During a public briefing on Friday, the U.N. health agency said there are still many unanswered questions about how the current epidemic arose, but there is no evidence that any genetic changes in the virus are responsible for the unprecedented epidemic.
“The first sequencing of the virus shows that the strain is not different from the strains we can find in endemic countries and (this outbreak) is probably due more to a change in human behaviour,” said Dr. Sylvie Briand, WHO’s director of pandemic and epidemic diseases.
Earlier this week, a top adviser to WHO said the outbreak in Europe, U.S., Israel, Australia and beyond was likely linked to sex at two recent raves in Spain and Belgium. That marks a significant departure from the disease's typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and outbreaks haven't spilled across borders.
On Friday, Spanish authorities said the number of cases there had risen to 98, including one woman, whose infection is “directly related” to a chain of transmission that had been previously limited to men, according to officials in the region of Madrid.
Doctors in Britain, Spain, Portugal, Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere have noted that the majority of infections to date have been in gay and bisexual men, or men who have sex with men. The disease is no more likely to affect people because of their sexual orientation and scientists warn the virus could infect others if transmission isn't curbed.
WHO's Briand said that based on how past outbreaks of the disease in Africa have evolved, the current situation appeared “containable."
Still, she said WHO expected to see more cases reported in the future, noting “we don’t know if we are just seeing the peak of the iceberg (or) if there are many more cases that are undetected in communities," she said.
As countries including Britain, Germany, Canada and the U.S. begin evaluating how smallpox vaccines might be used to curb the outbreak, WHO said its expert group was assessing the evidence and would provide guidance soon.
Dr. Rosamund Lewis, head of WHO's smallpox department, said that “there is no need for mass vaccination,” explaining that monkeypox does not spread easily and typically requires skin-to-skin contact for transmission. No vaccines have been specifically developed against monkeypox, but WHO estimates that smallpox vaccines are about 85% effective.
She said countries with vaccine supplies could consider them for those at high risk of the disease, like close contacts of patients or health workers, but that monkeypox could mostly be controlled by isolating contacts and continued epidemiological investigations.
Given the limited global supply of smallpox vaccines, WHO's emergencies chief Dr. Mike Ryan said the agency would be working with its member countries to potentially develop a centrally controlled stockpile, similar to the ones it has helped manage to distribute during outbreaks of yellow fever, meningitis, and cholera in countries that can't afford them.
“We’re talking about providing vaccines for a targeted vaccination campaign, for targeted therapeutics," Ryan said. "So the volumes don’t necessarily need to be big, but every country may need access to a small amount of vaccine.”
Most monkeypox patients experience only fever, body aches, chills and fatigue. People with more serious illness may develop a rash and lesions on the face and hands that can spread to other parts of the body.

Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough says Kyle Lafferty deserves his international recall at the age of 34 after helping Kilmarnock into the cinch Premiership.
Lafferty, a hero of Northern Ireland’s successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign and the second top scorer for his country’s men’s team, has been selected for next month’s Nations League fixtures against Greece, Cyprus and Kosovo.
“I suppose it was big news when Kyle was left out of the squad previously, but the door was never closed on him,” Baraclough said.
“He’s applied himself very well at Kilmarnock, scored goals to get them back in the Scottish Premiership, and he deserves his recall.
“Hopefully he can bring that form into the Northern Ireland squad.
“We scored three goals against Luxembourg (in March) and we could have scored more.
“But it (scoring) has been an age-old question for Northern Ireland and Northern Irish strikers, whether we can hit the target enough.”
There are several notable absentees from a 28-man squad with Baraclough citing injuries and fatigue, both mental and physical, as contributing factors.
Stuart Dallas, Craig Cathcart and Josh Magennis are among those sidelined, while Corry Evans, Shane Ferguson, Tom Flanagan and Matthew Kennedy also miss out.
Uncapped Glentoran forward Conor McMenamin is one four new call-ups, alongside Shea Charles, Brodie Spencer and Charlie McCann.
McMenamin, 26, has not played previously for Northern Ireland at any level but impressed on a four-day training camp in England last week.
Baraclough said: “Conor, off the back of recognition of a really good season in the Irish League, has deserved a call-up.
“He’s shown us something that maybe we haven’t got within the squad.
“At 26 years of age he may have thought the chance of playing for his country had passed him by.
“But it’s a message to everybody, whether they play in Northern Ireland, England or Scotland, that they’ve still got a chance.
“We haven’t got a bigger enough pool of players to discount anybody and last week was a challenge for our younger players to show us what they can do.
“They all showed us something we hadn’t seen before, and off the back of that some of them have been picked.”
Northern Ireland start their Nations League campaign at home to Greece on June 2 before visiting Cyprus three days later.
They move on to play in Kosovo on June 9 before returning to Belfast and hosting Cyprus three days later.
“I’ve described these four games as the biggest test of my tenure so far,” said Baraclough, who has former England Under-21s and Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd as part of his backroom staff with Leicester coach Adam Sadler unavailable for personal reasons.
“I’ve got to manage game-time for players and bring younger ones through into a bigger squad.
“Greece will be a massive test and then we’ve got to travel to Cyprus and Kosovo and play in heat.
“There is promotion and relegation on these games, and possibly getting to a play-off for the Euros is something we are striving for. But we also have to temper that by giving experience to some younger players.”
Squad: B Peacock-Farrell (Sheff Wed), T Carson (St Mirren), L Southwood (Reading), J Clarke (Glenavon), D Ballard (Arsenal), C Bradley (Liverpool), C Boyd-Munce (Middlesbrough), C Brown (Cardiff), J Evans (Leicester), T Hume (Sunderland), P Lane (Fleetwood), P McNair (Middlesbrough), B Spencer (Huddersfield), S Davis (Rangers), S Charles (Man City), C McCann (Rangers), L Donnelly (Motherwell), A McCalmont (Leeds), A McCann (Preston), N McGinn (Dundee), G Saville (Millwall), J Thompson (Stoke), D Charles (Bolton), K Lafferty (Kilmarnock), S Lavery (Blackpool), C McMenamin (Glentoran), C Washington (Charlton), G Whyte (Cardiff). | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/05/27/ian-baraclough-hoping-kyle-lafferty-can-mirror-club-form-after-deserved-recall/ | 2022-05-27T13:28:38Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/05/27/ian-baraclough-hoping-kyle-lafferty-can-mirror-club-form-after-deserved-recall/ | true | 9 |

Nigel says Ghana had a good leader but voted him out because of deceptions
My use of metaphors does not imply I’m a coward - Nigel Gaisie
I’m an educated Prophet - Nigel Gaisie
The founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, has likened the current happenings in Ghana to the narrations in the popular Nigerian novel by Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart.
According to Prophet Gaisie, just like in Things Fall Apart, Ghanaians had a good leader in the person of ex-President John Dramani Mahama but voted him out of power after being deceived.
Speaking in an Angel TV interview monitored by GhanaWeb, Gaisie, who appeared to liken a character in the novel, Okonkwo, to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, said that Okonkwo deceived Ghanaians into voting for him with sweet words.
“If you read the book Things Fall Apart; you will find out that the things that transpired in the book are the things happening in the country now. We had a king who was doing well, but they joined forces and dethroned him and brought Okonkwo.
“Okonkwo used sweet words - British English (to deceive Ghanaians), see where it has landed us today,” he said in Twi.
Also, the founder of Prophetic Hill Chapel said that he used metaphors during his 2022 new year prophies only because he had to and not because of fear.
“I’m a prophet, and you have to walk in wisdom. If Herold comes, you also have to gunner your ways. I’m not a coward; I didn’t look like one; I’m never a coward.
“I’m also an educated prophet. I’m not just a fake prophet or one of the prophets on the street; I have a good educational background. I love literature, and so sometimes I use literary devices to critic society,” he said.
Watch the Prophets interview below:

At least 13 Louisiana ministers on Southern Baptist Convention list of ones accused of abuse
At least 13 ministers with ties to Louisiana were included in the Southern Baptist Convention's list of ministers accused of abuse — a list that had been kept secret for more than a decade before its release Thursday night.
The list is more than 200 pages long, often including descriptions of the alleged abuse and links to new coverage about the individual instances. Much of the list, including the names of some of the accused ministers, is redacted.
More:Southern Baptist Convention leaders publish long-secret list of accused ministers
Thirteen of the ministers included in the list have Louisiana listed as their state. One other may also be from Louisiana, but his information was redacted and his listed state could not be verified.
According to the database, the 13 from Louisiana were reported between 2001 and 2017. The list includes alleged abuse from 2007 through 2022, though it is incomplete and "has not been adequately researched," according to a note at the top of the report.
The list is not specific to the Southern Baptist Convention. Eight of the 13 Louisiana ministers were listed as being affiliated with SBC, while the others were listed as "Baptist - Type Unknown."
The list was released after investigative firm Guidepost Solutions compiled a report on the convention leadership's failure to address sexual abuse for more than two decades.
The convention's executive committee began recording news articles and other reports of ministers accused of sexual misconduct in 2007. In 2008, one of the officials led the committee to reject a plan for a clergy abuser database.

The executive committee is tasked with handling denomination business when the full convention isn't in session during its annual meeting. It's made up of about 30 staff members and an elected board.
The staff members who compiled the list no longer work for the executive committee. The list was largely kept secret until Guidepost released its report on Sunday.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is the inaugural winner of the Magic Johnson Western Conference finals MVP award. Curry was acknowledged for his stellar series efforts after the Warriors eliminated the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 on Thursday night.
“The new trophy is pretty cool,” said Curry to ESPN. “Especially with who it’s named after, the standard that Magic set in terms of being a champion and playing the point guard position, whatever other position he played. Just the excellence that he demonstrated throughout his entire career.”
In game 5, Curry finished with 15 points and nine assists, providing plenty of support to Klay Thompson, who exploded to seal the series for the Warriors. In the WCF, Curry averaged 23.8 points, 7.4 assists, and 6.6 rebounds.
“Everything revolves around him,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “We got a lot of great players around him and guys who fit well together. It all starts with Steph. He just creates so much havoc for the defense, that even on a night like tonight where he doesn’t shoot the ball that well, he forces rotations and frees up other players.”
The Warriors now await the winner of the Boston Celtics and Miami HEAT. | https://thesource.com/2022/05/27/source-sports-stephen-curry-wins-inaugural-western-conference-finals-mvp-award/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=source-sports-stephen-curry-wins-inaugural-western-conference-finals-mvp-award | 2022-05-27T13:30:57Z | https://thesource.com/2022/05/27/source-sports-stephen-curry-wins-inaugural-western-conference-finals-mvp-award/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=source-sports-stephen-curry-wins-inaugural-western-conference-finals-mvp-award | true | 1 |

After 15 years off the pitch, Mario is once again lacing up his cleats. Mario Strikers: Battle League is coming to Nintendo Switch next month bringing soccer back to the Mushroom Kingdom. The surprising series revival will mark Mario’s third sports outing on the Nintendo Switch, and the stakes are a little high this time.
While Mario Golf: Super Rush featured excellent golfing systems, the package itself was thin. There wasn’t much to do outside of its short, shallow RPG story mode. Post-launch DLC brought more courses, but the experience felt lacking compared to past Mario sports games. Battle League will give Nintendo the chance to rally, potentially putting its long line of Mario sports titles back in players’ good graces.
I got a glimpse of what the new Switch game has in store during a hands-off demo. While it’s still looking light on content, its online integration looks to fill in those gaps. For those who love playing titles like this with friends, Mario Strikers: Battle League seems like it could scratch a co-op sports itch that’s usually reserved for FIFA.
Strike, not soccer
In Mario Strikers: Battle League, players compete in 4v4 (plus a computer-controlled goalie) “Strike” matches. The sport resembles soccer, but it’s much more aggressive. Characters can tackle one another, use Mario Kart-esque items, and even knock each other into the electric fence surrounding the pitch. There are no red cards here.
What immediately caught my eye was how hysterically brutal the animations are. When characters smash into an electric fence, they light up like a cartoon cat who’s just stuck a fork in an outlet. In one match, I watched as Toad smashed a ball into a goal. Wario tried to block it, but the force of the ball sent him flipping through the air in perfect slapstick fashion. The cartoon mischief of it all takes me back to the days of beloved arcade sports titles like NFL Blitz.
Aside from items and physical comedy, the game’s main gimmick is its strike shots. At random intervals, orbs will appear on the field. If a team gets one, all its players will be electrified. By doing some successful button-timing without being tackled, players will make a special “super” shot, not unlike the ones in Mario Tennis Aces. Strike shots are accompanied by a fantastically animated cutscene of the character pulling off a special move. Those shots are also worth two points, which makes them particularly valuable.
The core soccer gameplay seems fast-paced, but easy to grasp. The game’s nuance comes from its individual characters, each of which has their own stats. There’s a little bit of depth there, as players can buy gear using coins earned after playing a match. There are gear slots for head, body, arms, and legs, with multiple options purchasable for each. Each piece of gear buffs one stat but decreases another, so players could turn Rosaline into the ultimate tackle machine at the expense of speed.
Gear also seems to play a role in the game’s Cup Battles mode, which is the closest thing the game has to a single-player campaign. In that mode, players tackle a series of double-elimination tournaments that each have a special gimmick. In the canon tournament, CPU teams get an additional piece of “canon” gear each round, presumably increasing their shot power.
The single-player experience is looking a little light beyond that, but the gear component gives solo players a reason to test out character builds while grinding coins.
Join the club
The main draw of Mario Strikers: Battle League is its Strikers Club mode. The online mode allows players to create their own club featuring up to 20 friends. A team can customize its uniform, logo, and stadium, the latter of which can be done via a second “token” currency that’s earned in the mode. When two teams compete, the game smashes both teams’ stadiums together rather than picking one.
The mode features seasons that can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks (Nintendo says it hasn’t settled on the exact time frame yet). During that time, any members of a club can play matches — separately or together — and earn coins and tokens for their team. There’s a bit of friendly rivalry involved, as clubs will have an internal leaderboard that ranks the players on each team. There are also season achievements that club members collectively work toward to gain more gold and tokens.
Strikers Club looks to be the game’s make-or-break value proposition, similar to how Nintendo Switch Sports’ online integration is its primary feature. I can absolutely see a world where I get four or five friends together to get in the competitive spirit. Collective bragging rights are a more satisfying reward than coins, after all.
In general, Battle League has strong multiplayer potential. Up to eight players can compete on one Switch, which could make it the life of a party. With options to toggle off strike shots and items, players can take it as casually or seriously as they want. While it doesn’t look like the most robust Mario sports package, a strong core and flexible options could go a long way (I’m still playing Switch Sports regularly despite its lack of modes).
Like a lot of Nintendo’s recent games, Battle League’s success will come down to how much long-term support it gets. The timed club seasons give a reason to log back in regularly, which is a good start. Nintendo also confirmed that the game will get post-launch content, which will include new characters (hopefully that’s great news for scorned Daisy fans). I imagine that means more gear will come to the game too, giving players a reason to grind for coins.
Based on what I’ve seen so far, Mario Strikers: Battle League should, at the very least, be on par with Mario Golf: Super Rush. The arcade-style gameplay looks fast and fun, there’s a nice progression hook thanks to gear, and Strikers Club is a genuinely unique feature for a Nintendo game. For friends who have free time on their hands this summer (especially kids on break from school), this could be an ideal way to pass the time now that Splatoon 3 is set for September. Just keep your expectations in check if you plan to go solo: There’s no I in soccer.
Mario Strikers: Battle League launches on June 10 for Nintendo Switch.

WAUKESHA — Waukesha Antique Mall, 1427 E. Racine Ave., will celebrate a decade of sweet finds in June.
John Dutscheck and his wife started Family Heirlooms on Main Street in Waukesha 35 years ago. The couple branched out and opened up Waukesha Antique Mall by Antiques and Uniques, but it was torn down.
“We had to find another building and we did this one 10 years ago. so Family Heirlooms and Waukesha Antique Mall are in here,” said co-owner Penny Olson.
The family members always had a love for antiques and would travel and bring things back to the store.
During the height of the pandemic the business had to close for two months, but when businesses reopened they were busier than ever.
“We’ve been having record years after the pandemic. I hope it is because of the products we are offering and the ambiance of the mall, our reputation and we are family-run,” Olson said.
The mall did some remodeling and added on to the back and side of the store. A shirt shop next door was torn down. Olson said she added 10-12 more antique booths.
The store also has a waiting list of dealers wanting to sell antiques there.
“I have 10 dealers who want to get in here but before I didn’t have the room. I figured if I expanded I would have the room. But now I have another 10 people wanting to get in here again. It is a good problem to have,” Olson said.
They also redid the bathroom to include rustic decorative items and give customers ideas, such as reusing window frames and other items.
“I like to give people ideas of what they can do with things like picture frames, shutters or a door,” she said.
The men’s room has old tools, street signs and the women’s room has a rustic garden look.
“We redecorated the whole thing and I’m proud of it. Who would ever be proud of a bathroom?” Olson said.
A sweet stress release
The store treats customers like family and strives to find what they need.
There is a snack area where pre-packaged snacks are available for visitors.
“We used to give away cookies but because of COVID I’m afraid to do that,” Olson said.
Olson compared the love of antiques to chocolate. She explained that when she feels stressed, she eats chocolate. During the pandemic when people were stuck in their homes they wanted to do something. They wanted to redecorate or make projects.
“I call it their chocolate. They want to look, redecorate or collect,” Olson said. It is a trip down memory lane for anyone who walks the aisles.
The store has booths full of vintage dishes, clothing, toys, and art and many other items.
There is not one particular, popular item people ask for.
“If I knew what that was we would all buy it. For a while everything was jade, then it was primitives or porch things. You never know,” Olson said.
One popular place in the store is Jerry (John’s son and coowner) Dutscheck’s military items booth.
“It is very popular. The guys love it and we do have a few guy (item) booths,” she said.
Customers will also bring in items to sell.
“There are elderly people who come in and they are selling their things. They could be downsizing or a spouse died,” Olson said.
When people come in to sell items, staff is always honest, she said.
“We try to be really honest. Like if someone comes in and they think they want $5 and we look it up and it is worth $100. We will negotiate with them based on that price,” she said.
Olson added that honesty is why they have repeat customers. | https://www.gmtoday.com/the_freeman/business/waukesha-antique-mall-celebrates-10-years/article_1f639cd6-ddb6-11ec-af9d-7faf9d7c9773.html | 2022-05-27T13:42:06Z | https://www.gmtoday.com/the_freeman/business/waukesha-antique-mall-celebrates-10-years/article_1f639cd6-ddb6-11ec-af9d-7faf9d7c9773.html | false | 1 |

A LITTLE BOY was left in tears after a red-faced Romanian lobbed a racket into the French Open crowd.
Irina-Camelia Begu chucked the equipment in a rage against a water box while she was 2-0 down in the third set of her second-round match.
The racket bounced violently into the stands of court 13.
And though it did not hit the youngster directly, he was left distraught and startled by the incident.
World No63 Begu was lucky not to be defaulted.
But she did receive a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct after consultation with a tournament supervisor.
Bucharest-born Begu, 31, later apologised and posed for a photo with the kid and his parents.
The unseeded star remains in the French Open following her 6-7 6-3 6-4 comeback win over Russian No30 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.
Begu said: "It's an embarrassing moment for me. I just want to apologise.
"In my whole career I haven't done something like this and I feel really bad and sorry. Sorry for the incident.
Most read in Sport
"It was a difficult moment because I didn't want to hit that racket.
"You hit the clay with the racket but you never expect to fly that much."
Fuming Alexandrova said: "I am so disappointed to leave Roland Garros like that.
"I was trying to do my best but seems like the rules were against me.
"This shouldn't be happening.
"I hope after today's match rules will be improved for everyone's safety. We are responsible for our racket."

Journalists and viewers on social media could not believe Begu avoided disqualification and was allowed to carry on.
Photographer Ella Ling added: "I was there. Absolutely beggars belief how she was allowed to continue playing. Horrible."
Earlier in the French Open, Russian Andrey Rublev also escaped major punishment when he slammed a ball in anger and it rebounded, flashing past a tournament court assistant.
Former world doubles No1 Rennae Stubbs added: "Seeing the Begu incident and Rublev incident from the other day, tennis officials really need to step up their game.
"I think both should have been defaults.
"We MUST start making players accountable for stupid decisions and those were both stupid decisions and could have been a lot worse."
In 2020, Novak Djokovic was famously booted out of the US Open after accidentally striking a line judge in the throat with a tennis ball. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/8924989/french-open-controversy-begu-child-throwing-racket/ | 2022-05-27T13:46:01Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/8924989/french-open-controversy-begu-child-throwing-racket/ | false | 3 |

CHECK TABLE Statement
Checks if the data in the table is corrupted.
CHECK TABLE [db.]name
The CHECK TABLE
query compares actual file sizes with the expected values which are stored on the server. If the file sizes do not match the stored values, it means the data is corrupted. This can be caused, for example, by a system crash during query execution.
The query response contains the result
column with a single row. The row has a value of
Boolean type:
- 0 - The data in the table is corrupted.
- 1 - The data maintains integrity.
The CHECK TABLE
query supports the following table engines:
Performed over the tables with another table engines causes an exception.
Engines from the *Log
family do not provide automatic data recovery on failure. Use the CHECK TABLE
query to track data loss in a timely manner.
Checking the MergeTree Family Tables
For MergeTree
family engines, if check_query_single_value_result = 0, the CHECK TABLE
query shows a check status for every individual data part of a table on the local server.
SET check_query_single_value_result = 0;
CHECK TABLE test_table;
┌─part_path─┬─is_passed─┬─message─┐
│ all_1_4_1 │ 1 │ │
│ all_1_4_2 │ 1 │ │
└───────────┴───────────┴─────────┘
If check_query_single_value_result
= 1, the CHECK TABLE
query shows the general table check status.
SET check_query_single_value_result = 1;
CHECK TABLE test_table;
┌─result─┐
│ 1 │
└────────┘
If the Data Is Corrupted
If the table is corrupted, you can copy the non-corrupted data to another table. To do this:
- Create a new table with the same structure as damaged table. To do this execute the query
CREATE TABLE <new_table_name> AS <damaged_table_name>
. - Set the max_threads value to 1 to process the next query in a single thread. To do this run the query
SET max_threads = 1
. - Execute the query
INSERT INTO <new_table_name> SELECT * FROM <damaged_table_name>
. This request copies the non-corrupted data from the damaged table to another table. Only the data before the corrupted part will be copied. - Restart the

Franklin’s five-goal haul inspires stunning Swans comeback
By Vince Rugari
Lance Franklin has ignited a miraculous comeback from the Sydney Swans, who clawed their way back from five goals down to beat Richmond by six points and keep their AFL top-four hopes alive in a thriller on Friday night.
Franklin booted five goals - four of them coming in the second half as the Swans responded to a first-half clinic from the Tigers with a brilliant finish in the club’s annual Marn Grook game.
The Swans were 33 points behind at one stage, having conceded seven unanswered goals across the first and second quarters as Richmond’s old guard including Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin and Dion Prestia led the onslaught, with their relentless pressure far too much for a sloppy Sydney to handle.
But a long-distance screamer from Franklin brought the dormant crowd of 31,387 alive, and the Swans began to feed off their energy. Soon enough, the pendulum swung their way. They held the Tigers to just one goal in the third quarter, closing to within one straight kick at the final change.
The last quarter was an enthralling, back-and-forth affair in which the Swans managed to hold their nerve. Franklin’s fifth put them in front for the first time since the opening term, before a deafening roar overwhelmed the SCG when Sam Wicks kicked the ball into the top tier of the Don Bradman Stand from close range to put Sydney seven points ahead with less than 10 minutes to go.
Isaac Heeney then made it a 13-point lead, with the Swans able to close out a famous 16.10 (106) to 15.10 (100) win, snapping Richmond’s four-game winning streak in the process - although a late goal in the final stages from Josh Gibcus, Franklin’s direct opponent for much of the night, meant nothing was certain until the siren.
Or indeed, even after it. In a controversial and confusing finale, Richmond players unsuccessfully pleaded for a 50-metre penalty that would have brought Dion Prestia within range of goal after receiving a free kick for a hold and Swan Chad Warner, apparently not hearing the whistle, kicked the ball into the crowd on the final siren. Prestia instead took a shot from around 80m that fell well short of the target, before Tigers fans took to social media, claiming they’d been robbed.
“It’s not my job, there’s people on the ground that make those decisions. I’m not too sure. We’re probably a little bit the same as everyone else - we weren’t quite sure how it was going to unfold. I’ll leave that up to you guys to find out or figure out,” coach Damien Hardwick said when asked about the post-siren confusion.
“We can look at that last incident but the fact of the matter is we were up by 30 points. It’s easy to look at the last play, but we should have iced the game. For 75 per cent [of it] I thought we were pretty good, we had a 25 per cent lapse, especially in the third quarter, there’s some things we reckon we could have done a little bit better.
“At the end of the day, everyone will look at the last play and the what ifs, but the fact of the matter is when you’re 30 points up you probably shouldn’t lose.”
Swans coach John Longmire said he hadn’t reviewed the incident and wasn’t sure what had actually happened.
“I don’t know, I heard there was a holding free kick paid at the same time as the siren,” he said.
Sam Reid, Franklin’s long-time foil, kicked three goals, while Will Hayward had two in his 100th game, and Chad Warner (27 disposals) and Luke Parker (26 disposals) ran the midfield.
In the context of the season, this was huge for Sydney. Had they lost, their top-eight position would have been at risk, and any ambitions grander than that seriously dampened. Their continued in-game inconsistency will, however, be driving Longmire absolutely mad.
With Melbourne (away), Port Adelaide (away) and St Kilda (home) to come, there are more choppy waters ahead, but this was a result and a performance that they can build on.
Franklin was at his scintillating best, but could be in the crosshairs of the AFL’s match review officer after a clash with Cotchin in the dying stages of the second quarter, when the game was going against them. A frustrated Franklin appeared to strike Cotchin in the chin with an open hand as they argued off the ball and was pinged for a free kick, which could be followed by a suspension if the contact made is deemed to be forceful enough.
Sydney were missing several key players, including injured ruckman Tom Hickey (toe), Josh Kennedy (hamstring) and young gun Nick Blakey (flu), who was a late withdrawal. Blakey’s drive across half-back has become pivotal for the Swans and so it was no surprise that they were much less fluent with the ball between the arcs without him, their sloppy ball use playing right into Richmond’s hands.
When they belatedly found their composure, it was no surprise that things began to click into place for Sydney.
“Sometimes it can be all sorts of different things you look at. We just didn’t win enough of those contests compared to Richmond,” Longmire said.
“There were some moments we had to do a bit better and break even, which we didn’t do in that first half. We were very good in the second half ... cleaner and better around the ball.”
Coming into this match, there was no splitting the two teams. Both Sydney and Richmond had a 6-4 record with a percentage of 120.4, although the former was coming off two months of patchy performances, and the latter a run of wins that had bounced them quickly up the ladder.

The National Rifle Association is going ahead with the opening of its annual convention Friday in Houston, just days after a lone teenage gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, also in Texas, and killed 19 children and two teachers.
Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, who was scheduled to deliver an in-person address at the convention Friday, has pulled out of his appearance and will instead travel to Uvalde.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, however, is still scheduled to speak at the three-day event of the gun rights lobbying group.
Meanwhile, Texas law enforcement authorities are facing tough questions about their response and the length of time it took them Tuesday to storm the school to confront 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos. Officials say Ramos, a high school dropout, was in Robb Elementary for 40 minutes to an hour before police barged into the fourth-grade classroom where he had killed 21 people.
Witnesses say parents of the children trapped in the school, located in a residential neighborhood, and onlookers who gathered at midday on Tuesday had shouted at police to enter the school and put an end to the carnage.
One witness outside the school, Juan Caranza, 24, who watched the scene from outside his house across the street, said women shouted at police, “Go in there! Go in there!”
Police further filled in the timeline of the shooting Thursday. Victor Escalon, a regional director at the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Ramos walked into the building through an unlocked door and without encountering a school safety officer, contradicting earlier reports.
The school normally has an armed officer on duty, but when the gunman arrived Tuesday, “there was not an officer, readily available, armed,” and the gunman entered the building “unobstructed,” Escalon said.
The gunman was killed when a U.S. Border Patrol tactical team arrived, broke into the classroom and killed the gunman, Escalon said.
Javier Cazares, whose fourth-grade daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, was killed in the attack, said he raised the idea with other bystanders of storming the building themselves because he did not think police were moving fast enough.
“Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to,” he said. “More could have been done. They were unprepared.”
One bystander recorded a video posted to his Facebook account that gave his running account of parents trying desperately to get police to move more quickly to rescue their children.
“These cops are right here. Bro, there’s a (expletive) shooting at the school, and these (expletive) cops are telling everybody to leave, dude, while everybody’s here trying to pick up their (expletive) kids,” the man said in an account published by The Washington Post.
Later, the man says the children “are all in there, and the cops ain’t doing (expletive) but standing outside.”
One woman, who said her son was in the school, urged police to take a shot at the gunman if they could.
“They’re kids,” she shouted. “I’m going to go, I’m going to (expletive) go.”
Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw on Wednesday defended the police response, saying, “The bottom line is law enforcement was there. They did engage immediately. They did contain (Ramos) in the classroom” before killing him.
Escalon, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said that two Uvalde police officers arrived four minutes later and ran into the school but were quickly pinned down when Ramos fired at them.
Authorities continued to search for a motive behind the horrific rampage, the deadliest U.S. school shooting spree in nearly a decade. They said Ramos had no known criminal or mental health history, although some acquaintances recounted his troubling antisocial behavior, such as firing a BB gun at random people walking in Uvalde.
A 15-year-old German girl who Ramos chatted with online said he told her he “threw dead cats at people’s houses.”
Just as Ramos unleashed his attack, he texted the girl, warning her in a private message that he was about to shoot up an elementary school.
Abbott said Wednesday that 17 others were wounded or injured in the attack, but none had life-threatening injuries. A spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said the injured include “multiple children” who survived gunfire in their classroom.
The husband of one of the teachers killed in the mass shooting died Thursday. Joe Garcia was married to Irma Garcia, his high school sweetheart, for 24 years and they had four children. Garcia had a heart attack as he was making arrangements for his wife’s funeral.
Students at schools and colleges across the U.S. staged walkouts on their campuses Thursday to demand tougher gun control measures.
The White House said President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Texas on Sunday to grieve with the community.

Biden to address Naval grads amid Texas, Ukraine backdrop
ANNAPOLIS, Maryland (AP) — President Joe Biden is set to address graduates at the United States Naval Academy Friday amid turbulence abroad with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and tragedy at home after two mass shootings in as many weeks.
Biden’s remarks to the more than 1,000 newly commissioned ensigns and second lieutenants at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, will be his first commencement address of the year.
He is also set to deliver remarks at Saturday’s graduation ceremony at the University of Delaware, his alma mater. On Sunday, the president will visit Uvalde, Texas to console grieving families after Tuesday’s shooting at an elementary school that killed 19 children and two teachers.

After two years of hiatus due to COVID, the ‘ World SUP Festival Costa Blanca ‘ returns, a unique event for all audiences that combines sport, tourism, gastronomy and fun, according to the organisers.
The Diputación de Alicante collaborates in the organisation and promotion of this international paddle surf championship that will take place from June 3 to 5 between the municipality of Santa Pola and the island of Tabarca.
The provincial deputy for the Baix Vinalopó region, Juan de Dios Navarro, along with the mayor of Santa Pola, Loreto Serrano, the director and promoter of the project, Daniel Parres, and the head of the City Council’s Tourism service from Alicante, Elena Lumbreras, presented the event that will bring together more than 400 professional, semi-professional and amateur paddle surfers from all over the world.
“From the Diputación we are firmly committed to this type of event that allows us to deseasonalise the offer and maintain the arrival of visitors throughout the year, generating wealth and jobs in our municipalities”, said Juan de Dios Navarro, who highlighted the importance of public-private collaboration for the development of “excellent” initiatives such as this “that enhance our province and place it at the epicentre of world sport”.
The ‘World Sup Festival Costa Blanca’ will start on Friday, June 3 with a 200-metre test of the Spanish Open Water Sprint Championship. On Saturday, the main race of the Eurotour International League will be held in the 7km Open and 15km Elite modalities. In addition, that same day the canoe tests (SS1, SS2 and OC1) and Foil will take place.
Finally, on Sunday, June 5, the Open International Technical Race will be held with a race of a thousand metres and six laps.
Michael Booth, Titouan Puyo , Ty Judson, Fiona Wylde and Esperanza Barreras are some of the great figures who will be present at this event which, as Daniel Parres has pointed out, “has become a worldwide benchmark”. Likewise, the promoter of the project has announced that among the novelties of this year the modalities of ‘Prone Paddle Board’, ‘Canoe’, SS1, SS2, and ‘WingFoil’ have been incorporated. “We continue to work, edition after edition, to make this project even more attractive,” he added.
In parallel, the organisation has programmed a complete program of activities related to sports and aimed at the public of all ages. Starting this Saturday, various proposals will be carried out that include tourist routes, workshops, conferences, presentations, musical performances, exhibitions and showcookings, among others.
“One of the first municipalities to bet on tourism linked to the sea was Santa Pola, a decision we made because we believe that it is an ideal way to deseasonalise and attract visitors outside the summer season, something that we achieved with proposals like this”, explained the mayor of the town.
For her part, Elena Lumbreras has specified that for Alicante this is a particularly relevant event given the City Council’s commitment to nautical tourism. “We have the best beaches in Spain, a unique complementary offer and very favourable weather conditions that make us an ideal setting to host this type of event.”
With the aim of promoting its dissemination and bringing it closer to the public, the ‘World Sup Festival Costa Blanca’ will be broadcast through streaming thanks to a large device that includes eight cameras, a drone and professional commentators. It can be followed through the website www.worldsupfestival.com, as well as on social networks and the organisation’s YouTube channel. | https://theleader.info/2022/05/27/santa-pola-and-tabarca-host-the-world-sup-festival-in-june/ | 2022-05-27T13:51:55Z | https://theleader.info/2022/05/27/santa-pola-and-tabarca-host-the-world-sup-festival-in-june/ | false | 1 |
The bomb squad have been called in over a 'suspicious item' found during a police search. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed a 'small number' of properties have been evacuated as a result.
Armed police were earlier spotted searching an area of moorland in the area. Officers were pictured scouring an area of Kersal Moor on Friday morning, with reports suggesting they were searching the entire area. A footpath from the corner of Heathland Road and Wensley Road onto Kersal Moor was cordoned off with crime scene tape. Now bomb squad experts have been called in to the scene.
Pictures and video footage show a Royal Logistic Corps vehicle parked up at the scene with explosive ordnance disposal officers also present. The footage shows a bomb disposal robot being manoeuvred from the back of the van.
Greater Manchester Police said the activity was part of a 'wider operation'. A police dog was also spotted searching the moorland.
At least one police van was parked near to the entrance to the path, with officers also stationed there. Two more police vehicles, including a van and car, were also pictured stationed on nearby Moor Lane.
GMP said the item was found 'during an isolated and contained search operation' and confirmed the bomb squad was assessing it.
The Manchester Evening News understands that access onto Kersal Moor for members of the public has been restricted. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said that police were at the scene 'as part of a wider operation'
No further details have been given on the specific investigation. It has not yet been confirmed how long the search will go on for.
There is no threat to the public, the police spokesperson added. A statement said: "This is part of a wider operation and there is no threat to the public."

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina reported Latin America’s first confirmed case of the monkeypox virus on Friday in a man who recently traveled to Spain.
The man, who is from the province of Buenos Aires, has monkeypox but health authorities are waiting to finish sequencing the virus before making the official announcement, said an official in Argentina’s Health Ministry. The official requested anonymity until the official announcement.
It is the first time the presence of the virus has been confirmed in Latin America.
Authorities have revealed little about the patient beyond saying he traveled to Spain from April 28 through May 16 and had symptoms compatible with monkeypox, including lesions and a fever, on Sunday.
Nearly 200 cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 20 countries not usually known to have outbreaks of the disease, the World Health Organization said on Friday. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/health/ap-health/argentina-reports-case-of-monkeypox-man-traveled-from-spain/ | 2022-05-27T13:57:27Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/health/ap-health/argentina-reports-case-of-monkeypox-man-traveled-from-spain/ | true | null |
QuickBooks users are being attacked by an unknown threat actor phishing for sensitive personal information, the software’s maker has warned.
According to a BleepingComputer report, a number of users reached out to Intuit, the maker of the tax software (opens in new tab), and alerted the company to a phishing email campaign that tries to scare people into giving away sensitive information. Subsequently, Intuit issued a warning to all users, detailing the campaign.
Apparently, victims will receive an email pretending to be from Intuit, which warns that the company has conducted an account review has not been able to verify some important information.
For that reason, the email claims, the account has been put on hold until the information can be verified. As you might expect, the email comes with a “Complete Verification” button, which appears to serve up a data verification form.
Defending from phishing
In reality, the button likely redirects the victim to a phishing landing page, where any and all data submitted is transferred directly to the attackers.
As usual, QuickBooks users are advised not to open any links or run any email attachments coming from unverified sources. Any such emails that they receive should be deleted immediately, while those that have already opened up the emails should delete any files they might have downloaded, scan their systems with antivirus software and change their QuickBooks passwords.
Phishing attacks are a common occurrence, but can usually be spotted relatively easily. The domain from which the email is sent is usually not the same domain the legitimate company uses, and sometimes, the company’s name is misspelled or features a substitute character (a zero instead of the letter o, for example).
Given that people are often reckless, overworked or hasty, phishing campaigns are regularly quite successful. | https://www.techradar.com/news/a-dastardly-new-phishing-scam-is-targeting-tax-software-users | 2022-05-27T13:58:48Z | https://www.techradar.com/news/a-dastardly-new-phishing-scam-is-targeting-tax-software-users | false | 6 |

In countries where abortion is illegal, are there fewer abortions?
The question sounds simple. But it's tough to answer, says social demographer Jonathan Bearak at the Guttmacher Institute. That's largely because, in places with strict abortion laws, the procedure is almost completely hidden. So estimating the rate of abortions is extremely difficult.
Nevertheless, for the past two decades scientists at the World Health Organization and the Guttmacher Institute have been developing tools to estimate abortion rates around the globe. Both institutions support abortion rights for people worldwide. This past February, they published, for the first time, abortion rates for nearly every country. And they've also updated their analysis looking at how abortion rates vary across regions of the world – and whether the legality of the procedure is associated with those rates.
"So let's say you group together the countries where abortion is broadly legal," says Bearak, who led the study. "And then you group together countries where abortion is completely prohibited altogether, even without exception for the health of the woman."
Which group has the higher abortion rate?
Here's what they found. In countries where abortion is broadly legal, there are between 36 and 47 abortions performed annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49. And what about in countries where abortions are prohibited altogether? "In these countries, there are between 31 and 51 abortions annually per 1,000 women, on average," Bearak says.
"People can be surprised by the findings," he says, "because the rates are basically the same across the two groups of countries."
How could that be?
In countries where abortion is broadly legal, use of contraception is quite high, Bearak and his team found. That's because these countries tend to be richer and have strong health-care systems. "If you have a stronger health-care system and provide universal access to sexual reproductive health care, you would expect a lower unintended pregnancy rate," Bearak says. And so the rate of unintended pregnancies tends to be low (between 53 to 66 unintended pregnancies annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49). But the percentage of those pregnancies ending in abortion is higher because abortions tend to accessible.
By contrast, in countries where abortions are heavily restricted, use of contraception tends to be low, his team found. And thus, the rate of unintended pregnancies is high (between 70 to 91 unintended pregnancies annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49). But the percentage of those pregnancies ending in an abortion is low, likely because abortions aren't easily accessible.
So, Bearak says, in the end, highly restrictive abortion laws don't correlate with a lower abortion rate. Instead, those laws correlate with more unintended pregnancies, which ultimately leads to an abortion rate comparable to what's observed in countries where the procedure is accessible.
That finding is consistent with several previous studies, including a large one published by the Guttmacher Institute in 2012, and covered by Goats and Soda in 2014.
"Many studies have shown that making abortions illegal doesn't decline the number of abortions," Ana Langer, at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, told NPR. "Once a procedure becomes illegal, the need is still there. Women will look for services, safe or unsafe, to terminate their pregnancy."
Now there are many caveats to the new study. For starters, in some countries, health officials collect very little data on abortion procedures. So Bearak and his team had to estimate abortion rates and unintended pregnancies from a computer model. They built that model based on survey data collected through a United Nations initiative that tracks "contraceptive prevalence and the unmet need for family planning" around the world.
"These are major global health surveys performed at regular intervals," Bearak says, "in which women are asked, 'Okay, you had a birth. Was this unintended?'" His team then combined this data with known abortion statistics to generate a computer model that could estimate unintended pregnancies and abortion rates where data were insufficient. "Because these estimates are based on models, they come with uncertainty," he explains.
On top of that, Bearak says, their estimates can't assess how changing abortion laws in a country would or wouldn't alter the rates in the short-term. For example, in the U.S. some states, including Texas, are currently tightening abortion laws.
"So we can certainly see early evidence in Texas that people are having trouble accessing abortions, which makes intuitive sense," Bearak says. And so the restrictions in Texas will likely lead to lower rates of abortion in the short-term. "But exactly how that's going to play out in the long run is yet to be seen. We don't know how people will adapt."
A major way that women "adapt" is to seek abortion in nearby places, where the procedure is legal, or to seek illegal abortions, says Fatima Juárez, who's a demographer at El Colegio de México in Mexico City. Juárez's research focuses on the reproductive health of young people.
In places where abortions are illegal, she says, it can be difficult to obtain a safe abortion – that is, an abortion where the risk of severe complications is extremely low.
In a study published in 2019, Juárez and her colleagues interviewed women across Mexico about their experiences having abortions. The team focused on three states with varying levels of restriction, from few restrictions in Mexico state to many restrictions in Queretaro state.
"What we found was that in states where abortion is illegal, it's very difficult for a woman to control the outcome of the abortion. There's this element of chance," Juárez says – a chance that the abortion could end up unsafe.
So while the overall rate of abortion doesn't correlate well with the legality of the procedure, the rate of unsafe abortions shows a strong relationship with local abortion laws, says Dr. Bela Ganatra, who leads the Prevention of Unsafe Abortion Unit at the World Health Organization.
"We found that in countries where abortion is legal – and available to women on request – 9 out of 10 abortions happen safely," Ganatra says. "But if you look at countries where abortions are most restricted then only 1 out of 4 abortions happens safely."
"But it's not just the law that's important," she adds. For the rate of unsafe abortions to drop in a country, people also have to have access to safe abortions, she says. "Just because the law changes and abortion is allowed, it doesn't automatically mean that unsafe abortion goes away. Clinics actually have to have the medicines, they have to train practitioners and they actually have to make the services available.
"Changing the law [to allow abortions] is necessary for reducing the rate of unsafe abortions. It's a step, but it's not only about the law," Ganatra adds.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Klay Thompson drained the 3-pointers. Draymond Green anchored the defense and even chipped in on the offensive end for a change. Stephen Curry capped off an MVP performance.
The trio that led Golden State to so much success in recent years is whole again and and has the Warriors in position for another title after advancing to the NBA Finals with a 120-110 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.
“Like I’ve said over and over again, I’m going to keep saying it: No one has proven that they can move us off that spot,” Green said. “That’s the mindset we come into this thing with. We understand what it takes to win a championship.”
The triumvirate of Curry, Thompson and Green is in rarified air in NBA lore as the core of a team that has made it to six NBA Finals in an eight-year span. It’s an accomplishment only the greatest groups have reached with Bill Russell’s Celtics of the 1950s and ‘60s, Magic Johnson’s Lakers in the 1980s and Michael Jordan’s Bulls of the 1990s doing it.
Now the Warriors hope to add a fourth title to the ones they captured in 2015, ‘17 and ’18 when the Finals start June 2 against either Boston or Miami. The Celtics lead the series 3-2 headed into Game 6 at home on Friday night.
“We’re happy to be here, but it would help our legacy a lot if we completed the mission and won the whole thing,” Thompson said. “We can be happy tonight, and we will be, I’ll celebrate tonight. But tomorrow when this Game 6 comes on, I’m turning the page and I’m scouting because we want to finish this thing off the right way.”
The last time the Warriors made it to the Finals they fell short, starting a two-year spiral filled with losing and injuries. Thompson tore his left ACL during a season-ending Game 6 loss in the 2019 NBA Finals.
Kevin Durant tore his Achilles’ tendon earlier that series and then left for Brooklyn that summer, leading to the Warriors finishing an NBA-worst 15-50 in the pandemic shortened 2019-20 season.
Thompson then tore his right Achilles’ tendon just before the start of the next season and the Warriors were unable to make it back to the playoffs, getting knocked out by Memphis in the play-in game.
But Thompson returned in January and the combination of the aging trio of stars with an infusion of youth from players like Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole and others has Golden State back at the top of the league again.
“We never lost the faith, but you understand how hard of a process it was going to be to climb the mountain again,” Curry said. “I think internally we are all extremely proud of what it took to get back here. Yeah, it’s definitely sweet based on what we went through.”
Thompson led the way in the clinching Game 5 win of the Western Conference finals over Dallas, making eight 3-pointers for a record-setting fifth time in his playoff career and scoring 32 points.
Green added 17 points, six rebounds and nine assists to go along with his usual defensive brilliance and Curry had 15 points and nine assists as he was named series MVP.
It’s a level of play that reminds coach Steve Kerr of the Bulls teams he played on with Jordan and Scottie Pippen that won so many titles in the 1990s.
“The common denominator is just talented players who are fierce competitors,” Kerr said. “Whether you talk about Michael and Scottie, Steph, Draymond, Klay, it takes a special kind of athlete to have both dynamics. The skill and the athleticism and all that, but to also be just incredibly competitive and to want to win so badly. It’s the only way you can have a run like that because you get exhausted, you get tired, you get frustrated. If you don’t have that type of competitive desire and that type of skill combined, it’s just not going to happen six times out of eight years.”

Covid infections are falling rapidly in Wales, England and Northern Ireland, the latest figures from the ONS show, but have started to rise again in Scotland. It is the sixth week in succession that Covid cases have fallen in Wales.
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show there were an estimated 1.1 million people in private households with the virus across the UK in the week to May 21, down from 1.3 million in the previous week. In Wales, around 52,900 people were likely to have Covid 19 - down from 80,700, or one in 40, the week before
That is the lowest estimate since the end of November 2021 when virus levels were starting to rise due to the spread of the original Omicron variant. Total infection have now fallen by 78% since the peak of the BA.2 wave in late March when a record 4.9 million people were estimated to have Covid-19.
In Wales, the rate of positive cases appears to be highest in Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan, while the region covering Swansea and Neath and Port Talbot has lower positivity rates.
Case rates appear to be falling in all age groups but are highest in the 25 to 34 age group and lowest in primary school children.

But in Scotland, prevalence of the virus has increased, with 135,400 people estimated to have Covid-19 last week, or one in 40 - up from 122,200, or one in 45, a trend the ONS describes as "uncertain". The virus continues to be least prevalent in Northern Ireland, where infections are now at their lowest level since mid-October 2021. Some 23,300 people were estimated to have Covid-19 there last week, or one in 80, down from 29,800, or one in 60.
Sarah Crofts, head of analytical outputs for the Covid-19 Infection Survey, said: "Overall infections continue in the right direction across much of the UK, falling to below a million people infected in England for the first time since early December. While Scotland and some regions of England saw an uncertain trend in the most recent week, it is too early to say if these uncertain trends mark the end of recent declines, and we will continue to carefully monitor the data."
Meanwhile Covid hospital admissions in Wales have also continued to drop. On May 26, there were 163 Covid-positive patients in acute hospitals in Wales, but only 25 (15%) were being activity treated for the virus. This is down from 207 Covid-positive patients in acute hospitals in Wales on May 19.
And just nine patients were in invasive ventilated beds with Covid - the most intensive form of treatment - on May 26, five of whom were in Cardiff and Vale UHB, two were in Swansea Bay UHB, one was in Hywel Dda UHB and one was in Betsi Cadwaladr UHB. This was down on the 12 recorded a week earlier.
During the Welsh Government's press conference, First Minister Mark Drakeford urged people to keep taking steps to protect their health as the country moves beyond the emergency response to the pandemic. The legal requirement to wear a face covering in health and care settings will end on Monday May 30, the Welsh Government confirmed.
He repeated the warning the four UK chief medical officers issued this week about the risk of new variants. Mr Drakeford said: "The pandemic has had a profound impact on all our lives, everyone has made sacrifices and changes over the last two years. But it is thanks to all your efforts that we can move beyond the emergency response while still living safely with this virus.
"I want to thank everyone for all you have done to protect yourselves and your loved ones. You have followed the rules and you have kept Wales safe. This three-week review of the coronavirus regulations is a significant milestone, we are completing our careful and gradual transition away from legal protections and away from the emergency response to the pandemic."
But he added ministers would "remain alert to the threat of new and emerging variants". He said that despite the legal requirement on health and care settings being lifted he would "continue to strongly recommend it to protect vulnerable people and staff working there".
"Continuing to take simple steps, including staying up to date with vaccinations, self-isolating if you have Covid-19 symptoms and maintaining good hand hygiene, will be important in helping us all to enjoy a safer and brighter future together," he said.
Mr Drakeford added the end of the regulations would also mean an end to the three-week reviews and to the public press conferences. He said: "All these measures are on hold in case we see another pandemic wave later in the autumn or winter, as we saw last year and the year before." | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/covid-cases-wales-fall-dramatically-24080134 | 2022-05-27T14:04:39Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/covid-cases-wales-fall-dramatically-24080134 | false | 1 |
Key inflation gauge slowed to still-high 6.3% over past year
(AP) - An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Federal Reserve rose 6.3% in April from a year earlier, the first slowdown since November 2020 and a sign that high prices may finally be moderating, at least for now.
The inflation figure that the Commerce Department reported Friday was below the four-decade high of 6.6% that was set in March. While high inflation is still causing hardships for millions of households, any slowing of price increases, if it can be sustained, will provide some modest relief.
The report also showed that consumer spending rose by a healthy 0.9% from March to April, outpacing the month-to-month inflation rate for a fourth straight time. The ongoing willingness of the nation’s consumers to keep spending freely despite inflated prices is helping sustain the economy. Yet all that spending is helping keep prices high and could make the Fed’s goal of taming inflation even harder.
Consumers’ resilience in the face of sharply higher prices suggests that economic growth is rebounding in the current April-June quarter. The economy shrank at a 1.5% annual rate in the first quarter, mostly because of an increase in the trade deficit. But analysts now project that, on an annual basis, it’s growing as much as 3% to 4% in the current quarter.
High inflation appears to be forcing consumers, on average, to save less. The savings rate fell to 4.4% last month, the lowest level since 2008. But overall, Americans built up an additional $2.5 trillion in savings since the pandemic, and economists calculate that that pile is eroding only slowly. As a result, healthy spending could continue for months.
Friday’s government report showed that on a month-to-month basis, prices rose 0.2% from March to April, down from the 0.9% increase from February to March. The April increase was the smallest since November 2020.
Gas prices fell in April, holding down inflation, though they have since surged again. The costs of clothing, appliances, and used cars also dropped from March to April.
Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, so-called core prices rose 0.3% from March to April, matching the previous month’s rise. Core prices climbed 4.9% in April from a year earlier, the first such drop since October 2020.
Still, inflation remains painfully high, and it’s inflicting a heavy burden in particular on lower-income households, many of them Black or Hispanic. Surging demand for furniture, appliances and other goods, combined with supply chain snarls, began sending prices surging about a year ago.
Consumers have shifted some of their spending from goods to services, like airline fares and entertainment tickets. That trend could help cool inflation in the months ahead, though it’s unclear by how much. The cost of such services as restaurant meals, plane tickets and hotel rooms is also rising. Indeed, goods prices, which drove inflation sharply higher last year, fell 0.2% from March to April after jumping in the previous month, while the cost of services rose 0.5%.
Chair Jerome Powell has pledged to keep ratcheting up the Fed’s key short-term interest rate until inflation is “coming down in a clear and convincing way.” Those rate hikes have spurred fears that the Fed, in its drive to slow borrowing and spending, may push the economy into a recession. That concern has caused sharp drops in stock prices in the past two months, though markets have rallied this week.
Powell has said the Fed is aiming for a “soft or soft-ish” landing, in which wages, consumer spending and growth slow, but the economy avoids a downturn. Most economists say that while such an outcome is plausible, they doubt it can be achieved.
A better-known inflation gauge, the consumer price index, earlier this month also reported a slowing in price gains. The CPI jumped 8.3% in April from a year earlier, down from a 40-year high in March of 8.5%.
Yet rising prices of gas and food, worsened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, will keep measures of inflation painfully high at least into the summer. The national average price of a gallon of gas has reached $4.60, according to AAA. A year ago, it was $3.04.
Other trends, however, suggest that core inflation may continue to slow in the coming months. Retailers have reported rising stockpiles of televisions, patio furniture and other goods for the home as consumers have shifted their spending more toward travel and services-related goods like luggage and restaurant gift cards.
Those stores will likely have to offer discounts to clear inventory in the coming months. And auto manufacturers have been ramping up production as some supply chain snarls untangle and as they have managed to hire more workers. Both trends could help lower the prices of goods.
At the same time, higher pay for many workers, particularly at restaurants, hotels, and warehouses, will keep forcing up prices for services, which could at least partly offset the benefit of less-expensive goods.
And most economists forecast that inflation, as measured by the Fed’s preferred gauge, will still be at about 4% or higher by the end of this year. Price increases at that level would likely mean that the Fed will still raise interest rates to lower inflation to its 2% target.
The inflation measure reported Friday, called the personal consumption expenditures price index, differs in some ways from the consumer price index that help explain why it shows a lower inflation level than the CPI does. Rents, which are steadily rising, are given less weight in the PCE than in the CPI.
The PCE price index also seeks to account for changes in how people shop when inflation jumps. As a result, it can capture, for example, when consumers switch from pricey national brands to cheaper store brands.

Kevin Spacey was charged by the British police on Thursday with four counts of sexual assault. The 62-year-old actor is due to appear in court.
Kevin Spacey has been charged with four counts of sexual assault against three different men in the UK.
The ex-Hollywood star was charged by London’s Metropolitan Police on Thursday and is set to appear in court. Along with the sexual assault charges, he faces a charge of forcing a person to engage in penetrative sex without consent.
All four counts allegedly refer to incidents that occurred between 2005 and 2013 in England.
The head of the UK Crown Prosecution Services (CPS), Robert Ainslie said: “The CPS has authorised criminal charges against Kevin Spacey, 62, for four counts of sexual assault against three men.
“He has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. The charges follow a review of the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police in its investigation.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”

Chhattisgarh: Pharma student commits suicide at college hostel in Durg
Durg: A 21-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in a room at a hostel of a private college in Chhattisgarh's Durg city on Friday, police said.
The victim, Yamini Rajput, was a resident of Narayan Para and student of pharmacy at a private college in the city, Pulgaon station house officer (SHO) Pradeep Sori said.
The death came to light in the morning when the hostel warden found the woman hanging with a scarf around her neck in a vacant room in the premises, he said.
The police were subsequently alerted and the body was sent for post-mortem, the official said, adding that no suicide note was recovered.
A case under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered and further probe was underway, Sori added. PTI COR

When Machine Gun Kelly went to Sandra Bullock’s house for Easter one year, he invited his close buddy Pete Davidson along — without telling him exactly where they were going.
Maybe thinking it was more of a low-key house party, Davidson rocked up with some "forties" (aka bottles of malt liquor), Kelly shared with a laugh on “The Tonight Show” Thursday.
“There was this one Easter where I was like, ‘Hey, Pete, you gotta come, let’s go to my friend’s house for Easter,’” he said. “He pulled up and he had 'forties,' and he was like, ‘Let’s do this thing!’ And we went and it was Sandra Bullock’s house, and we walked in and it was, like, Jen Aniston and all these (people) ... And Pete was like, ‘Why would you do this to me, we look so stupid, like we have 40 ounces and we’re at Sandra Bullock’s. Why didn’t you tell me this was where we were going?’”
Davidson, 28, got his revenge earlier this year when he brought a surprise guest to Kelly’s birthday party in April.
“It’s like my birthday last month and he texts me, and he’s like, ‘Hey, I’m about to come to your party, can I bring a plus one?” the rapper said. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course,’ and he pulls up and his plus one is Robert Pattinson. And I was like, you brought Batman?”
Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, has been buddies with Davidson for years, telling Howard Stern in 2020 that he thinks of the “SNL” alum as a younger sibling.
“I don’t have any siblings so when you see someone like Pete, that’s like my little brother. He’s like my best friend, too, but also like a little brother, so it’s kind of like you have the opportunity to live that dynamic of having a sibling because I was an only child,” he said. “So, obviously, to me, that’s like the dream.”
The “Mainstream Sellout” singer confirmed earlier this year that Davidson will be part of his wedding to Megan Fox.
“I think my side is going to be an army of few. I have so many close and best friends that have been with me all these years. But, yeah, I think Pete is absolutely going to be standing there with me and we should just mic him just for commentary anyway,” Kelly said on “The Howard Stern Show” in March. | https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/machine-gun-kelly-pete-davidson-spent-easter-sandra-bullocks-house-rcna30826 | 2022-05-27T14:09:48Z | https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/machine-gun-kelly-pete-davidson-spent-easter-sandra-bullocks-house-rcna30826 | false | 2 |
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 number of commencement notices received by the BCA has increased every year since 2015, with the exception of 2020 due to significant Covid-19 restrictions on home-building.
Commencement notices must be given to the authority not more than 28 days and not less than 14 days before the beginning of works or the change of use.
Once validated by the BCA, works must commence on site within the 28 day period.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Trump-backed Republican challenger has taken to South Carolina’s coastal airwaves with a “six-figure” digital and television ad buy seeking to contrast herself against incumbent Rep. Nancy Mace.
Katie Arrington's 30-second spot, provided to The Associated Press ahead of its release, features voters — as customers — seeking a “refund” on their choice of Mace because “she turned her back" on former President Donald Trump, among other characterizations.
In the final weeks of one of the year’s most closely watched congressional Republican primaries, the ad — running in a combined buy across broadcast, cable and digital platform, according to Arrington's campaign — is the race's first to directly contrast the two candidates. Arrington's other spots have focused on touting her endorsement by Trump.
In Mace's debut ad — also part of a six-figure combined television and digital buy — the congresswoman promoted her support of the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, one of Trump’s signature projects. Another spot featured her endorsement from former Gov. Nikki Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations.
The former president has loomed large in the race since November, when he named Mace among a list of sitting House Republicans against whom he was soliciting challengers.
Mace secured her 2020 victory as South Carolina’s first Republican woman elected to Congress with Trump’s backing, but drew his ire by voting to certify President Joe Biden’s election and by making frequent television appearances blaming Trump for the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In February, Trump officially endorsed Arrington — whom he also had backed in her unsuccessful 2018 campaign for the seat — and campaigned for her a month later.
Mace's first-quarter fundraising was significantly ahead of Arrington's, although it's not known exactly how much each campaign has taken in since the end of March. Last month, Mace told AP she had raised a total of about $4.2 million during this campaign cycle.
Arrington, who entered the race in February, announced taking in $807,000 in the first quarter of this year, but most of that — $500,000 — came in the form of a personal loan from herself.
Early voting begins next week in South Carolina's primary contests. The winner of the 1st District GOP primary will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.

The weapon used to carry out the mass shooting in Uvalde on Tuesday is one all too familiar to Americans and lawmakers who have witnessed mass shootings occur over the past decade.
The Uvalde gunman used an AR-15-style rifle, a popular range of semiautomatic weapons that was purchased from a sporting goods store, to carry out the attack, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
This weapon is an AR-15 type called a DDM4 Rifle, which is manufactured by Daniel Defense, The Associated Press reported. The weapon reportedly retails from $400 to $2,000, the AP added.
While officials said the shooter, Salvador Ramos, purchased the gun, ammunition, and another weapon legally, the AR-15 and other guns like it have lingered on the minds of lawmakers for some time in terms of their legality.
In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed an assault-weapons ban, which banned the AR-15 and other similar semiautomatic rifles.
After its ban, mass shootings were down in the decade that followed, in comparison to the decade before (1984-94) and the one after (2004-14), NPR reported in 2018.
Once the assault-weapons ban expired 10 years later in 2004, gun manufacturers quickly began production and sales rose.
AR-15-style semiautomatic weapons are civilian versions of military weapons that gun control advocates say aren't very different.
The AR-15, like its military version, is designed to kill people quickly and in large numbers, hence the term assault-style rifle, gun control advocates told NPR in 2018. They say it has no valid recreational use, and civilians should not be allowed to own them.
The gun industry, gun owners and their supporters on the other hand, say AR-15s are used for hunting, target practice and shooting competitions and should remain legal, NPR reported in 2018.
The AR-15 was called "America's Rifle" in a January 2016 blog post from the National Rifle Association.
Such AR-15-style weapons are semiautomatic, meaning a shooter must pull the trigger to fire each shot from a magazine that typically carries 30 rounds.
A shooter with a fully automatic assault rifle can pull and hold the trigger and the weapon will fire until the ammunition supply is spent.
Fully automatic weapons have been heavily restricted in the U.S. since the 1934 National Firearms Act, which was directed against machine guns at the time, NPR reported.
The shooting in Uvalde has resurfaced calls for stricter gun laws.
Among those making these demands was former congressman Beto O'Rourke who interrupted Gov. Greg Abbott's news conference in Uvalde on Wednesday, KUT reported.
O'Rourke was escorted outside, where he spoke with reporters.
"He's refused to expand Medicaid, which would bring $10 billion a year, including mental health care access for people who need it," O'Rourke said of Abbott, according to ABC. "He's refused to champion red flag laws. ... He's refused to support safe-storage laws so young people cannot get their hands on their parents' weapons."
The following is a partial list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting:

Unemployment rate drops in Pitkin County to 3.2%
Pitkin County’s unemployment rate in April was 3.2%, a decrease from 5.3% in the same month last year, according to the data provided last week by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Eagle County’s jobless rate of 2.4% and Garfield County’s rate of 2.8% also mark a year-over-year decline from 6.6% and 5.4% respectively, the state labor department statistics show.
The statewide jobless rate last month mirrored the national rate at 3.6%, a figure that is seasonally adjusted. The county rates are not seasonally adjusted, the state labor department said.
“County-level unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted and are directly comparable to Colorado’s April unadjusted rate of 3.1%,” a CDLE news release states.
Pitkin County had an April labor force of 10,681, of which 10,338 were employed, the latest statistics show. For several months following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pitkin County had double-digit unemployment and one of the highest jobless rates in the state.
The Colorado counties with the highest unemployment rates in April were: Huerfano (6.1%), Pueblo (5.1%), Fremont (4.8%), Las Animas (4.7%) and Rio Grande (4.5%).
Colorado’s labor force grew by 13,600 in April, to 3,225,600. The share of Coloradans participating in the labor force improved to 69.1% last month, the highest rate since March 2020, the release says.
“The state continues to experience a much faster rate of recovery in the participation rate than the U.S.,” the release adds. | https://www.aspendailynews.com/news/local-news-in-brief-may-27/article_89a441c6-dd6c-11ec-a3ef-c7f672a04686.html | 2022-05-27T14:26:24Z | https://www.aspendailynews.com/news/local-news-in-brief-may-27/article_89a441c6-dd6c-11ec-a3ef-c7f672a04686.html | true | 1 |
Contracts to buy previously owned homes in the United States dropped to a two-year low in April, the latest indication that rising mortgage rates and higher prices were dampening demand for housing.
The National Association of Realtors said on Thursday its Pending Home Sales Index, based on signed contracts, fell 3.9% last month to 99.3. That was the sixth straight monthly decline and pushed contracts to the lowest level since April 2020, when activity was depressed by COVID-19 lockdowns.
Pending home sales fell in the Northeast, West and South, but rose in the Midwest. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast that contracts, which become sales after a month or two, would decline 2.0%. Pending home sales dropped 9.1% in April on a year-on-year basis.
Data last week showed sales of previously owned homes declined to the lowest level in nearly two years in April as house prices jumped to a record high amid a persistent lack of inventory. New home sales are also at a two-year low.
According to the NAR, rising mortgage rates have raised the cost of purchasing a home by more than 25% from a year ago, with the steeper home prices adding another 15%.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is averaging 5.25%, according to data from mortgage finance agency Freddie Mac.
The Federal Reserve has raised its policy interest rate by 75 basis points since March. The U.S. central bank is expected to hike that rate by half a percentage point at each of its next policy meetings in June and July. | https://www.postguam.com/business/real_estate/pending-home-sales-in-us-dip-to-2-year-low-in-april/article_aa0480ec-dd72-11ec-a971-4f5e11567e74.html | 2022-05-27T14:26:44Z | https://www.postguam.com/business/real_estate/pending-home-sales-in-us-dip-to-2-year-low-in-april/article_aa0480ec-dd72-11ec-a971-4f5e11567e74.html | false | 5 |
East Aurora School District canceled classes today after a report of a threat.
Superintendent Brian Russ notified parents Thursday night that all school buildings are closed today.
High school administration received a report that a student made a threatening statement, and school officials immediately contacted East Aurora Police, Russ said. Police started an investigation, and the school is fully cooperating with authorities, he said.
"In an abundance of caution, in light of recent events, and out of respect for the mental and emotional well-being of our students, families, staff, and community, we have decided to cancel classes and close our school buildings tomorrow, Friday, May 27, 2022," his message said. "This will allow time for the investigation to proceed."
Russ said he would provide an update over the weekend.
"As always, we will continue to be vigilant when we hear concerning information and respond accordingly based on the circumstances," he said. | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/education/east-aurora-cancels-school-after-reported-threat/article_d8596760-ddb2-11ec-9d4e-5b76dc0b2698.html | 2022-05-27T14:27:18Z | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/education/east-aurora-cancels-school-after-reported-threat/article_d8596760-ddb2-11ec-9d4e-5b76dc0b2698.html | false | 1 |

Italy's Pininfarina considering M&A for future growth - CEO
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
ROME, May 27 (Reuters) - Italian design group Pininfarina (PNNI.MI) is looking at M&A to give it skills in new sectors, mainly the digital one, and widen its customer base, Chief Executive Silvio Pietro Angori said on Friday.
"So far we have grown organically, our ambition is to now grow externally. We have the ambition of simply becoming the largest design company (in the world)," Angori told reporters at a meeting at the Foreign Press Association in Rome.
"We are carrying out a very careful analysis," he said when asked about any ongoing talks and the possible timing of future deals. "It depends on many factors, willingness must become reality."

The group, listed on the Milan market but controlled by India's Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (MAHM.NS), is looking at companies in the so-called phygital sector - combining physical design and digital tools - and those in the interaction design sector.
Angori said the Turin-based company saw particularly favourable market conditions in the industrial sectors in which it was interested.
Known for its elegant, aerodynamic designs, mainly for luxury carmakers such as Ferrari (RACE.MI) and Maserati, Pininfarina has moved to diversify its projects - from yachts to state of the art buildings.
"Pininfarina has repositioned itself in a very important way in last years, in order to grow outside the car sector," Angori said.
The automotive business currently represents about 80% of Pininfarina's sales but the company aims to increase the weight of its non-automotive business to reach a 50-50 balance in total revenue.
Seeking to double its sales in the United States, Pininfarina will open a new design office in New York.
Earlier this month Pininfarina said it expected the value of production to increase this year compared to 2021, when it stood at 66.8 million euros ($71.6 million).
The group turned to a profit of 2.4 million euros last year after a 24.4 million euro loss in 2020.
($1 = 0.9329 euros)

It’s not easy being this far out
Space Snapshot
After three and a half years on Mars, NASA’s InSight lander is nearing the end of its operations. Martian dust has coated the spacecraft’s two solar panels to the point that they will soon not be able to generate enough power to run InSight’s instruments. You can see just how much Martian dust has accumulated in this comparison of a photo taken in December 2018 (left) and another taken in June 2021 (right). NASA expects that InSight’s operations will end in July unless strong winds blow enough dust off the solar panels. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Mission Briefings
Voyager 1 is behaving strangely, but that’s no surprise. Mission engineers are investigating mysterious signals coming from one of the spacecraft’s telemetry instruments, which appears to be sending random data. “A mystery like this is sort of par for the course at this stage of the Voyager mission,” said Suzanne Dodd, project manager for Voyager 1 and 2 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “The spacecraft are both almost 45 years old, which is far beyond what the mission planners anticipated. We’re also in interstellar space – a high-radiation environment that no spacecraft have flown in before.” Pictured: An artist’s impression of Voyager 1 in interstellar space. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.
China has announced an ambitious asteroid-sampling mission. Tianwen-2 will launch in 2025, fly to the small near-Earth asteroid Kamo'oalewa, collect samples, return them to Earth, and then continue on to study an "active asteroid," an object with properties of both asteroids and comets.
NASA is funding an innovative solar sailing mission. The Diffractive Solar Sailing project was selected for Phase III study under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program. Diffractive lightsails would use small gratings embedded in thin films to take advantage of a property of light called diffraction, which causes light to spread out when it passes through a narrow opening. This would allow the spacecraft to make more efficient use of sunlight without sacrificing maneuverability. The new Phase III award will give the research team $2 million over two years to continue technology development in preparation for a potential future demonstration mission.
From The Planetary Society
The outermost planets might not get a lot of attention, but they have a lot to teach us. Uranus and Neptune are ice giants whose formation and evolution likely had a huge influence on those of the inner planets, including Earth. With a mission to Uranus recently named a top priority by the U.S. Planetary Science Decadal Survey, we’re looking forward to what we can learn about these mysterious, distant worlds.

Wow of the Week
Talk about far out — this artist’s impression shows how distant planets like Uranus and Neptune are thought to form in the outer reaches of a budding star system. Young stars are typically surrounded by dense, rotating discs of gas and dust, known as protoplanetary discs, that eventually form planets. In the inner part of the disc, heat and pressure from the star keeps water molecules in a gaseous state. Farther out, water molecules start to turn into ice and collect around dust grains and other particles. This is how we get ice giants like Uranus and Neptune. Image credit: A.

VENICE, Fla. (WFLA) – Gabby Petito’s family continues to seek answers from the parents of Brian Laundrie, and if they have their way, they’ll finally hear from them in a court of law.
The lawsuit against Chris and Roberta Laundrie claims they were aware their son had murdered Petito.
After a nationwide search, Petito’s body was found Sept. 19 at a campground near Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. A coroner determined the cause of death was “blunt-force injuries to the head and neck, with manual strangulation.”
Brian Laundrie went missing during the search for Petito, and his partial remains were found on Oct. 20 in a Florida nature preserve.
The Petito family’s lawsuit now has an initial witness list, which includes Chris and Roberta Laundrie, law enforcement officers and others connected to the case. The initial witness list is routine, procedural, and far from a definitive list of names that would testify should the lawsuit reach a jury trial, but it does offer a glimpse into the strategy behind the lawsuit.
Plaintiff’s initial witness list
- Joseph Petito (Gabby Petito’s father)
- Nichole Schmidt (Gabby Petito’s mother)
- Tara Petito (Gabby Petito’s stepmother)
- James Schmidt (Gabby Petito’s stepfather)
- Christopher Laundrie (Brian Laundrie’s father)
- Roberta Laundrie (Brian Laundrie’s mother)
- Representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Names not specified)
- Representatives of the North Port Police Department (Names not specified)
“It’s a wish list,” Laundrie attorney Steven Bertolino said. “I’m sure [Petito and Schmidt attorney Pat Reilly] put every party on that list that [he] believes he needs testimony from to prove his case.”
The lawsuit filed earlier this year by Petito’s parents includes several significant allegations including claims that the Laundries sought to help their son flee the country and blocked communication with Petito’s family.
The Laundries, through their attorneys, have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming the allegations are “baseless.” The motion states “there are no more facts that could emerge that would bolster the plaintiff’s claim.”
Bertolino maintains his clients were following his legal guidance and exercising their constitutional right to remain silent while Petito was missing in September. In the motion to dismiss, they argue silence “is what most people would and should do” in a situation such as Petito’s disappearance.
Petito and Schmidt attorney Pat Reilly previously told WFLA that the argument for the lawsuit’s dismissal is “outrageous and ridiculous.”
Arguments for the motion to dismiss are scheduled to be heard in Sarasota County Circuit Court on Wednesday, June 22 at 1:30 p.m. in what will be the first court hearing in the Petito case. A ruling on the dismissal attempt is expected by mid-to-late summer.
Barring dismissal, a trial by jury has been set for the week of Aug. 14, 2023, at the South County Courthouse in Sarasota County, Florida.
Nichole Schmidt, Petito’s mother, has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Laundrie’s estate, accusing him of performing “intentional acts” that led to Petito’s death. | https://www.kget.com/national-news/petito-lawsuit-reveals-wish-list-of-witnesses-sought-to-testify-including-laundries/ | 2022-05-27T14:47:29Z | https://www.kget.com/national-news/petito-lawsuit-reveals-wish-list-of-witnesses-sought-to-testify-including-laundries/ | false | 16 |
(NewsNation) — The baby formula shortage has been building since an Abbott Industries plant was forced to close in February due to unsanitary conditions, but now there’s an end in sight to the problem that has plagued parents nationwide and had flights of formula coming in from overseas.
Speaking Thursday, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf said that Abbott Industries formula should be back on the shelves in June and that supplies should be completely back to normal by July.
“My expectation is that within two months, we should be back to normal and with a plethora,” Califf said.
Until then, Abbott is giving out 300,000 cans of formula for babies with dire medical needs.
However, that still leaves parents with several more weeks of scarcity to navigate. Instacart has joined many other retailers, announcing that it’s limiting customers to four cans of the same formula per order. Company officials say that formula has been one of the most requested items in recent weeks.
The problem began when the FDA ordered the Abbott plant in Sturgis, Michigan, to shut down in February after an inspection found numerous violations. The FDA found standing water, leaks in the roof, cracks in equipment that could allow bacterial contamination and even noted that employees weren’t washing their hands properly.
Lawmakers are questioning Abbott officials about policies and procedures at the plant and about why the situation was allowed to develop in the first place.
They’re also investigating concerns over the fact that only four companies produce more than 90% of the formula consumed by infants in this country, so when something like this closure happens there’s a devastating effect. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-in-baby-formula-shortage/ | 2022-05-27T14:48:57Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-in-baby-formula-shortage/ | true | 15 |
- Preclinical data demonstrating OQL051, a gut-restricted CDK4/6 inhibitor, as a potential prophylactic treatment for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea
- Survey of academic and community oncologists studying the prevention and treatment patterns of papulopustular, acneiform skin toxicity associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi) therapy, demonstrating that the majority (98%) of doctors would use a novel agent to treat this adverse event if available
SEATTLE, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OnQuality Pharmaceuticals ("OnQuality"), a targeted oncology supportive therapy company developing innovative medications to address unmet needs in oncodermatology and oncogastroenterology (cancer therapy-induced side effects occurring in the skin and gastrointestinal tract, respectively) and to improve quality of life for patients receiving anticancer medications, today announced it will have two abstracts published in the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting Proceedings, a Journal of Clinical Oncology supplement, on June 3, 2022. The first abstract highlights preclinical data for its therapeutic candidate OQL051, a gut-restricted CDK4/6 inhibitor for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID). The second reports findings from a survey study on the prevention and treatment pattern of papulopustular, acneiform skin toxicity associated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi) therapy.
CID is a potentially life-threatening adverse effect of chemotherapy, often requiring dose reduction or disruption of treatment. To address this unmet need, OnQuality is developing OQL051, a gut-restricted CDK4/6 inhibitor with the potential to prevent CID while minimizing the interference with systemically administered chemotherapy regimens. OQL051 was designed using OnQuality's AI-enabled CARE (Computation-Aided dRug-target-toxicology sEarch methodologies) platform. Previously presented preclinical data demonstrate that OQL051 can decrease CID and protect the intestinal epithelium. When exposed to irinotecan, OQL051 aided in preserving microbial diversity in the murine intestine. ASCO will publish OnQuality's preclinical data from in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrating that, along with preventing diarrhea, OQL051 has the potential to protect gastrointestinal tissue from chemotherapy damage.
Acneiform skin toxicity is a dermatologic adverse effect associated with the use of EGFRi cancer therapies, seriously affecting quality of life, and EGFRi dose reductions and/or interruptions may diminish the effectiveness of cancer treatment. OnQuality surveyed 51 oncologists with questions related to EGFRi practice of prevention and treatment patterns. Of the participating oncologists, 98% responded that they would use a novel agent to treat patients with EGFRi-associated skin toxicity. According to the survey results, 35% of practicing oncologists said they employed dose reduction when their patients developed Grade 2 skin toxicity, while 76% reported that when patients did not respond to standard treatments, they interrupted the EGFRi therapy. These results demonstrate that effective prevention and treatment for skin toxicities associated with EGFRi inhibitors remains an unmet need for many patients and a treatment challenge for oncologists. OnQuality is developing OQL025, a therapy designed to reduce the degree and incidence of acneiform skin toxicity induced by EGFRi cancer therapy, allowing patients to remain on the full dosage of EGFRi therapy and improving their quality of life.
"The online publication of these abstracts at ASCO represents the exciting potential therapeutic value of our OQL051 program and the critical unmet need of acneiform skin toxicity.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Rescue teams at the site of a 10-story collapsed building in southwestern Iran pulled five more bodies from the rubble on Friday, bringing the death toll in the disaster to 24, Iranian state TV reported Friday.
A tower at the Metropol Building that was under-construction in the city of Abadan, collapsed on Monday. Thirty-seven people were rescued, three of them are still being treated in hospital. It remains unclear how many more people are buried beneath the rubble.
Iran’s senior vice president, Mohammad Mokhber, traveled to Abadan and visited the site of the incident on Friday.
Authorities have arrested 11 suspects in a widening probe, including the city’s mayor.
The deadly collapse has raised questions about the safety of similar buildings in the country and underscored an ongoing crisis in Iranian construction projects that has seen other disasters in this earthquake-prone nation.
Abadan provincial officials have cited “disregard for technical standards” and “”overbuilding" during construction, saying negligence caused the collapse. The building was legally permitted to be only a six-story tower, but four floors had been added during construction.
The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in the Iranian capital, Tehran, that killed 26 people. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Building-collapse-death-toll-in-southwest-Iran-17203143.php | 2022-05-27T14:54:04Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Building-collapse-death-toll-in-southwest-Iran-17203143.php | true | 14 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweden and Finland’s push to join NATO won’t require adding more U.S. ground forces into either country, the U.S. general nominated to take over European Command told senators Thursday. But Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli said military exercises and occasional American troop rotations will probably increase.
Cavoli, who currently serves as head of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, said the increased military focus will probably continue to be on eastern Europe — where nations are more worried about potential Russian aggression and any spillover of the war on Ukraine.
“The center of gravity of NATO forces has shifted eastward,” Cavoli told the Senate Armed Services Committee during his nomination hearing. “Depending on the outcome of the conflict, we may have to continue that for some time.”
Cavoli was asked about the U.S. troop presence in Europe, which has grown from fewer than 80,000 to about 102,000 since the buildup to Russia’s invasion. He said the increase had no ties to the more recent move by Finland and Sweden to seek NATO membership.
Sweden and Finland submitted their written applications to join NATO last week in one of the most significant geopolitical consequences of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Cavoli noted that the U.S already has strong military ties with both countries, and that additional exercises and other engagements are likely to grow.
If confirmed, Cavoli will be key as the Pentagon assesses its military structure across Europe. Defense officials have noted that historic troop concentrations in Germany, Italy and Britain may well shift and spread out into other eastern nations, such as Poland and the Baltics.
Eastern European countries have been clamoring for more U.S. weapons and troops, as a hedge against Russia. Cavoli said the U.S. also has to continue to strike a delicate balance and ensure its actions in Europe don’t inflame relations with Russia and spark a broader conflict.
“One must not shy away from activity to stay strong and outline our priorities,” he said, but the U.S. also must be careful “not to overdue that and create a problem where there wasn’t one.”
Cavoli’s nomination to be the top U.S. commander in Europe includes the job of NATO Supreme Allied Commander, which gives him a critical role in the Russian war on Ukraine. Committee members voiced support for his nomination, which is expected to be easily confirmed by the Senate.
Cavoli has extensive expertise on Russia. He served as a foreign area officer with a concentration on Eurasia, spent time in Russia, and speaks Russian, Italian and French. He was also the director for Russia on the Joint Staff. He would replace Gen. Tod Wolters, who currently heads European Command but is finishing his three-year tour there. | https://cw39.com/politics/ap-politics/us-general-no-need-to-add-ground-forces-in-sweden-finland/ | 2022-05-27T15:01:37Z | https://cw39.com/politics/ap-politics/us-general-no-need-to-add-ground-forces-in-sweden-finland/ | true | 32 |
When the clock hit 12:50 a.m. Friday, May 27, bedlam unfolded outside the Fairfax, Virginia, court parking garage. Johnny Depp fans — who had been waiting for hours, hoping to secure one of 100 spots in the courtroom for his defamation trial against Amber Heard — ran en masse toward the front of the courthouse. One witness described the frenzied procession as a “stampede.” Police, she explained, had started enforcing the rule against all-night camping in front of the courthouse, so the earliest they could officially line up was 1 a.m. Cindy Lewis, a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, resident who drove two days to see the proceedings, compared the scene to “a Black Friday sale at Target.” “One girl got knocked down just before getting onto this side of the property and injured her left knee, so she went back to the hotel,” she said, describing the chaos. Lewis is among the hundreds of fans who have congregated at this suburban courthouse in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the Pirates of the Caribbean star, who many fervently support. Depp has alleged that his ex-wife defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed, where she described herself as enduring domestic violence. Although Heard did not mention Depp’s name, he insists that her work destroyed his reputation and career prospects. Heard has brought counterclaims against Depp, whom she claimed defamed her through his attorney, Adam Waldman, who described her allegations as a “hoax.” Closing arguments take place Friday morning.
While tensions ran high for some in attendance, many Depp supporters maintained the same upbeat attitude as they had at the outset of the trial. Eva, who arrived around 8:30 Thursday night, sleeping bag in tow, wanted to show Depp she cared. “He’s not the man that she said that he is,” said Eva, who has been a Depp fan “for over 30 years.” She was able to get into the courtroom that day. “I was excited to see Johnny today. I was kind of depressed because of the lies of Amber. She creates too many stories that [don’t] match,” Eva explained. “She’s saying that Johnny’s fans threaten her life, threatening the baby’s life—that’s just not right, so low, you know?” Eva, like others, described a camaraderie. “I made some friends yesterday and today, and we shared phone numbers and we emailed and took pictures together.” Maryanne, who stood next to Eva, said, “I’ve heard Amber’s stories and accusations that she’s been saying about Johnny Depp, and I just think he needs all the support that he can get, because I don’t believe anything she says.” Her favorite Depp film is The Libertine.
When morning came, even more spectators started to show up. One man was in full cosplay, dressed like Depp’s character in Pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow. A couple from Cincinnati brought two collies, adorned with vests that read “Depp Legal Team,” with little ties. Nothing about the situation was funny to Lewis. She fell behind in the crush of spectators and wasn’t able to nab a coveted spot in the courtroom. She blamed fair-weather fans. “They might be a fan of Johnny Depp, but for them to just show up to court one day and act childish like this and stampede people who have invested money to come here, and not stay the whole day,” Lewis said. “I’ve noticed empty seats after lunchtime — people who just wanted to get a glimpse of celebrity.”
When Depp arrived at court just before 9 a.m., he was met, unsurprisingly, with a hero’s welcome. As his black SUV turned town the street, he waved to fans who packed tightly along the sidewalk. They shouted, “Johnny! Johnny!” Moments before, Heard’s truck drove up to the courthouse. They booed. | https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/johnny-depp-fans-support-trial-closing-arguments.html | 2022-05-27T15:01:58Z | https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/johnny-depp-fans-support-trial-closing-arguments.html | true | 1 |

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Marshfield and Adams have joined the list of Wisconsin cities that have shut down municipal wells due to PFAS contamination.
Wisconsin Public Radio reported that the state Department of Natural Resources announced Thursday that sampling in the two cities has detected PFAS high enough to concern state health officials.
Marshfield shut down four of 15 wells after receiving results Tuesday. Adams shut down one of two wells with elevated PFAS levels after receiving results May 4.
Communities including La Crosse, Eau Claire and Madison have also shut down wells due to PFAS contamination. The DNR is investigating PFAS contamination at nearly 100 sites across the state.
The DNR's policy board approved surface and drinking water standards for PFAS in February but failed to set groundwater standards. The surface and drinking water standards are still subject to legislative approval. The Legislature's rules committee has requested a meeting with DNR officials to discuss the standards. That meeting could take place as early as next month.
PFAS is an acronym for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals that don't break down in nature. The chemicals are found in fire-fighting foam and a wide range of everyday products such as cookware and clothing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Republican Stuart Ray will face Democrat Morgan McGarvey in the 3rd District congressional race to fill retiring U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth's Louisville-area seat.
Ray, a Louisville businessman, was locked in a race too close to call last week with Rhonda Palazzo in the May 17 Republican primary that attracted seven candidates.
A recanvass on Thursday by election officials found no change in last week's vote totals and Ray was certified as the winner, according to the Kentucky Secretary of State.
Ray said in social media posts he was honored to receive the nomination and added “it's time for new leadership in Washington!”
McGarvey, the state's highest ranking Democrat in the state Senate, won his party’s primary with the backing of Yarmuth, the only Democrat in Kentucky’s congressional delegation.
Ray, a former chairman of the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission board, greatly outspent Palazzo in this year’s campaign, raising around $340,000 to Palazzo’s $8,800. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Stuart-Ray-declared-winner-of-GOP-3rd-17203147.php | 2022-05-27T15:05:34Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Stuart-Ray-declared-winner-of-GOP-3rd-17203147.php | false | 10 |
Lily-Ann flying high
The Munster Schools Athletics Championships were held in Templemore AC on Saturday, May 21 and Coláiste Phobal Ros Cré students put in an excellent performance.
Aaron Dunford competed in the Intermediate finals in both the 200m and 100m.In the 200m he got off to a flying start, maintained his composure throughout and finished in 4th place. A great achievement as Aaron will compete in this age group again next year. He had another good run in the 100m.
His sister, Alannah, then raced in the senior girls 100m. She too will compete in this age group next year, so it was great to see that she was very pleased with her time. Lily-Anne O Meara was next onto the track for the minor 75m hurdles. Despite this being run in a very fast time, there was an extremely tight finish.
The girls were left to wait patiently while the the officials checked the screen to decide the outcome. Unfortunately the decision did not go Lily-Anne’s way, and by the narrowest of margins, she finished in 4th place.
Undeterred by finishing outside the medals, Lily-Anne lined up for the minor long jump soon afterwards. After 3 good jumps, she qualified for a further 2 jumps. And then, with an almighty 4th jump of 4.80m, Lily-Anne brought home the gold medal. A personal best and a wonderful feat, which sees her through to the All Ireland finals on June 4 in Tullamore.
In the meantime, our only field athlete was busy taking part in the minor girls shot putt. Marie Shanahan had a good initial 3 throws, which qualified her for the additional two throws. She held her nerve, and achieved a PB with a throw of 8.45m on both her 3rd and 5th throws. In the final round up, Marie finished in 5th place. It is fantastic to see her attain a PB on the occasion of a Munster Final.
Well done to all the athletes and the very best of luck to Lily-Anne in the All Ireland.

Summer Months Bring a 21 Percent Increase in Teen Traffic Deaths
NEW YORK, May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is often referred to by traffic safety experts as "the 100 deadliest days," since the summer months usually bring a dangerous spike in teen traffic fatalities. During summer months, an average of seven people are killed every day in teen driver-related crashes – an increase of nearly 20 percent over year-round figures. Each year an average of 2,100 teen drivers are involved in fatal crashes, with 30 percent occurring during the 100 deadliest days.
In response, thousands of young people active in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) are partnering with The National Road Safety Foundation to instead make it "The Safest Summer Ever." The two groups are mounting a massive social media campaign to call attention to a range of safe driving issues from distracted and drowsy driving, along with an effort to empower passengers to speak up when in a vehicle that's being driven dangerously. The campaign will have different safe driving messages posted on social media every week, with those posts amplified by shares and re-posts by SADD chapters and members nationwide.
"By mobilizing the tens of thousands of student safety advocates in the SADD community at the middle school, high school and college level, we hope to make this the safest summer ever, not only for teens on the road, but for all drivers and passengers," said SADD President and CEO Rick Birt. "Young people will help spread important safe driving messages to their peers, friends and family at a time when teens are most at risk on the road."
"The messages being shared by our friends in SADD can help save lives," said Michelle Anderson, Director of Operations at The National Road Safety Foundation, a non-profit that promotes safe driving behavior and a longtime SADD supporter and program partner. "Our hope is that these messaging efforts will have an impact that brings a decline in teen crashes to make this the safest summer ever."
Messages will include material from the Passport to Safe Driving, created by the National Road Safety Foundation and SADD students to engage teens and adults on the driving skills they need to be safe. Safest Summer Ever posts can be seen throughout the summer at #SADD and #NRSForg. Messaging will also encourage passengers to speak up when in a vehicle that is being driven unsafely, since passengers of all ages account for about 62 percent of traffic fatalities nationwide.
This year's campaign comes on the heels of new record-breaking crash statistics released by the Governors Highway Safety Association. A new GHSA report shows traffic fatalities last year hit a 16-year high of 42,915, an increase of 10.5 percent from 2020, while pedestrian fatalities have skyrocketed to a 40-year high of 7,485, an 11.5 percent increase over the previous year.
About SADD: For almost 40 years, SADD, the nation's premier youth health & safety organization has worked to empower teens, engage parents, mobilize communities, and change lives around the issues of traffic safety, substance abuse, and personal health and safety. Through a national network of peer-led chapters in middle schools, high schools and colleges, SADD equips our students with the resources they need to advocate for change on their campuses and in their communities. Join the movement by visiting www.sadd.org, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.
About The National Road Safety Foundation: The National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), a non-profit organization in its 60th year, creates driver safety programs for free distribution to teachers, police, traffic safety agencies, youth advocacy groups and others. NRSF has programs on distracted driving, speed and aggression, impaired driving, drowsy driving and other traffic safety issues. NRSF also sponsors national contests for teens in partnership with SADD and FCCLA and regional contests partnering with auto major shows.

The Los Angeles Lakers went into a win-now mode last summer, which backfired badly during the 2021-22 season.
The Lakers prioritized experience over youth and long-term planning in the previous offseason, putting together the oldest roster in the NBA. They brought in Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, and reunited with Dwight Howard, among other signings, hoping the vastness of talent on the roster would lead the team to glory — regardless of how many miles the players had on their odometers.
That came after L.A. had already traded the so-called “Baby Lakers” — Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart — in addition to a slate of future draft picks to acquire Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans in 2019.
Lakers exceptionalism inevitably leads to high expectations — something Frank Vogel learned the hard way this year. But franchise legend James Worthy said on the “Stoney & Jansen Show” that L.A. has been too desperate in its attempts to achieve immediate success over the last decade:
“The Lakers, I think they have refused to build over the years,” Worthy said. “We’ve had some good players: [Brandon] Ingram, [Julius] Randle, [Lonzo] Ball. We have tried to win quickly. In Kobe’s last few years, we brought in [Steve] Nash who was a little bit older, Dwight Howard came in with a back injury. We traded away draft picks to try to win immediately and I think they’re going to have really think about how they need to build.
“You look at Memphis, you look at the way Boston is playing right now, you look at the way Milwaukee has built a team over time. We need to create players that have cohesiveness. We had it a couple years ago and we traded it all away to try to win, to try to match what Brooklyn was doing and what other teams were doing with their Big 3 players. I think that’s going to go away. That’s an illusion, having the Big 3. You see what happened in Brooklyn, you see what happened with the Lakers. Even though everyone experienced injuries, you still should be playing better and you should definitely be in the playoffs. So the Lakers — it’s embarrassing and it’s unacceptable.”
Worthy offered the Lakers some bitter words during the 2021-22 season while they were meandering to a 33-49 record, missing the playoffs for the second time in LeBron James’ four years with the team.
Among his comments, the 61-year-old said L.A. “didn’t seem like they believed in anything that they were doing” after a March loss to the Houston Rockets, who would end up with the worst record of the campaign.
Terry Stotts ‘intrigued’ by prospects of coaching Russell Westbrook
Before the Lakers can turn the page on the disastrous 2021-22 season, they need to pick the new head coach who will lead the franchise’s new project in the coming years.
Terry Stotts reportedly was the first of the three final candidates for the position — which also include Kenny Atkinson and Darvin Ham — to sit down with L.A.’s leadership again in the last round of interviews.
Stotts is believed to have told the Lakers he is “intrigued” by the possibility of coaching Russell Westbrook — and that he believes he can help the 2017 NBA MVP be more effective than he was in 2021-22.

Former Steelers G.M. Kevin Colbert has made clear his willingness to remain involved with the team in some reduced capacity, but that he will defer to the wishes of his successor. It sounds as if his successor is interested in keeping Colbert involved.
“He’s always a phone call away,” new Steelers G.M. Omar Khan told reporters on Friday, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. “There’s not going to be a lot of change here. I don’t foresee a lot of change.”
That said, no specific arrangement has been made. Via Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV, Khan said it’s not yet official that Colbert will have an official role. “We’re still working through that process, but I hope so,” Khan said.
It’s always difficult to discern who’s truly calling the shots in Pittsburgh because no one feels compelled to let the world know that he’s the one in charge. That stubborn commitment to suppressed ego has served the team well, and surely led the organization to Khan, who has spent 20 years serving the Steelers without trying to promote himself for his next job.
While there can be a danger to having too many cooks in the kitchen, it’s a problem only when the cooks start becoming more focused on the other cooks than on making the best possible meal. Khan, along with new executives Andy Weidl and Sheldon White, will be working with the existing staff, the coaches, and team president Art Rooney II to make the best decisions for the team.
And no one will or should feel threatened or undermined by the ongoing contributions of Colbert, who played a key role in winning a pair of Super Bowls and in maintaining a roster that hasn’t had a losing season under head coach Mike Tomlin. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/27/omar-khan-steelers-are-still-working-through-kevin-colberts-possible-role/ | 2022-05-27T15:17:02Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/27/omar-khan-steelers-are-still-working-through-kevin-colberts-possible-role/ | false | 1 |

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Tuesday should have been a day of triumph for 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez. Instead, it was the day she died.
Maite was among 19 grade school students who, along with two teachers, were shot to death at Robb Elementary School in the southwestern Texas town of Uvalde. The 18-year-old gunman also died.
Maite liked and excelled at physical education — after her death, her teacher texted her mother that she was very competitive at kickball and ran faster than all the boys.
She had always been a straight-A student until the COVID-19 pandemic forced the school to cancel in-person classes. Zoom didn't work well for Maite — she got all Fs.
But with school back in session, Maite rebounded — all As and Bs. She was among the honor roll students recognized at an assembly Tuesday morning.
“She worked hard, I only encouraged her,” her mother, Ana Rodríguez, said in an interview Thursday at her dining room table, which displayed a bouquet of red roses, the honor roll certificate and photos of Maite.
Hours later, Maite was gone. Her mother described her as “focused, competitive, smart, bright, beautiful, happy."
As a kindergartner, Maite said she wanted to be a marine biologist and held firmly to that goal. She researched a program at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi and told her mother she was set on studying there.
“She was just so driven. She was definitely special. She was going to be something, she was going to be something very, very special,” Rodríguez said.
Jacklyn Cazares hadn’t yet reached her 10th birthday, but she was already a tough-minded “firecracker” who wanted to help people in need, her father said. Jacklyn and her second cousin, Annabelle Rodriguez, were especially tight with three other classmates at Robb Elementary School.
“They are all gone now,” Javier Cazares said. “All her little best friends were killed too.”
Jacklyn would have turned 10 on June 10. Despite her young age, she was tough-minded and compassionate.
“She had a voice,” her father said. “She didn’t like bullies, she didn’t like kids being picked on. All in all, full of love. She had a big heart.”
“She was a character, a little firecracker.”
Cazares drove his daughter to school Tuesday for the awards ceremony. About 90 minutes later, the family got a call about an active shooter.
“I drove like a bat out of hell,” he said. “My baby was in trouble.”
“There was more than 100 people out there waiting. It was chaotic,” he said of the scene at the school. He grew impatient with the police response and even raised the idea of rushing into the school with other bystanders.
Cazares said his niece followed an ambulance to the hospital and saw Jacklyn taken inside. The entire family soon joined and pressed hospital officials for information for nearly three hours. They begged, cried and showed them photos of their daughter. Finally, a pastor, police officer and a doctor met with them.
“My wife asked the question, ‘Is she alive or is she passed?’” Cazares said. “They were like, ‘No, she’s gone.’”
Ryan Ramirez also rushed to Robb Elementary when he heard about the shooting, hoping to find his daughter, Alithia, and take her home, KTRK-TV reported. But Alithia, too, was among the victims.
Ramirez’s Facebook page includes a photo, now shown around the world, of the little girl wearing the multi-colored T-shirt that announced she was out of “single digits” after turning 10 years old. The same photo was posted again Wednesday with no words, but with Alithia wearing angel wings.
The grief only grew Thursday with confirmation that the brokenhearted husband of one of the slain teachers, 48-year-old Irma Garcia, had died.
Joe Garcia, 50, had dropped off flowers at his wife’s memorial on Thursday morning, The New York Times reported. He “pretty much just fell over” after returning home and died of a heart attack, his nephew John Martinez told the newspaper.
The Archdiocese of San Antonio and the Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary confirmed Joe Garcia’s death to The Associated Press. AP was unable to independently reach members of the Garcia family on Thursday.
Married for 24 years, the couple shared four children. In a post on the school’s website at the start of the school year introducing herself to her class, Irma Garcia wrote of her love of barbecue, listening to music and taking “country cruises” to the nearby town of Concan.
The school year, scheduled to end Thursday, was Irma’s 23rd year of teaching — all of it at Robb Elementary School. She had been previously named the school’s teacher of the year and was a 2019 recipient of the Trinity Prize for Excellence in Education from Trinity University.
For five years, Irma had co-taught with Eva Mireles, who also was killed.
Mireles also posted on the site as the school year began, noting she had been teaching 17 years. She cited her “supportive, fun, and loving family.”
“Welcome to the 4th grade! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!” she wrote.
Two of the victims had hoped to skip school that day.
Carmelo Quiroz’s grandson, Jayce Luevanos, 10, had begged to go along with his grandmother on Tuesday as she accompanied her great-granddaughter’s kindergarten class to the San Antonio Zoo. But, he said, the family told Jayce it didn’t make sense to skip school so close to the end of the year. Besides, Jayce liked school.
“That’s why my wife is hurting so much, because he wanted to go to San Antonio,” Quiroz told USA Today. “He was so sad he couldn’t go. Maybe if he would have gone, he’d be here.”
Jayce’s cousin, 10-year-old Jailah Nicole Silguero, also wanted to miss school that day. Jailah’s mother, Veronica Luevanos, tearfully told Univision that Jailah seemed to sense something bad was going to happen.
Jailah’s friend, Nevaeh Alyssa Bravo, also was killed and her aunt noted Neveah’s first name is heaven spelled backward. In a Facebook posting, Yvonne White described Nevaeh and Jailah as “Our Angels.”
Two men who responded to the shooting discovered their own children among the victims.
Uvalde County Sheriff’s Deputy Felix Rubio and his wife had been at the school Tuesday morning to celebrate with their daughter, 10-year-old Alexandria “Lexi” Aniyah, since the fourth-grader had made honor roll with all A’s and received a good citizen award.
In a Facebook post, Kimberly Rubio wrote: “We told her we loved her and would pick her up after school. We had no idea this was goodbye.”
Medical assistant Angel Garza also hurried to the school and immediately found a girl covered in blood among the terrified children streaming out of the building.
“I’m not hurt. He shot my best friend,” the girl told Garza when he offered help. “She’s not breathing. She was just trying to call the cops.”
Her friend was Amerie Jo Garza — Angel Garza’s stepdaughter.
Amerie was a happy child who made the honor roll and loved to paint, draw and work in clay. “She was very creative,” said her grandmother Dora Mendoza. “She was my baby. Whenever she saw flowers she would draw them.”
GoFundMe pages were set up for many of the victims, including one on behalf of all victims that has raised more than $3.7 million.
