When is La Brea season 2 out? If ever a TV series gave us a sinking feeling, it was La Brea. In the sci-fi series, a gigantic hole opens in the middle of Los Angeles, pulling everyone underneath down into the depths. What’s in there? The past, in all its terrifying glory.
Over the course of the first season, a small group of survivors navigate being sent back 10,000 years. As the American government is having a look into the LA hole, more begin to open, creating a nationwide mystery throughout the country. Meanwhile, people from the other side of the portals start moving towards coming into the future, creating all sorts of potential paradoxes.
All we’re saying is that the La Brea season 2 has a lot of questions to answer. In the meantime, we’re here to give you answers on when the hit NBC drama series from David Appelbaum is due to come back. We’ve scoured the web, and stepped through time and space (read interviews) to bring you everything you need to know about the La Brea season 2 release date.
Le Brea season 2 release date speculation
We don’t yet know when La Brea season 2 will be released. We do know for certain it’s coming, as Le Brea was renewed in November 2021.
Production is currently underway in Australia, and TVLine got the scoop on the first episode, which is titled ‘Three Days Later’. “We’re so thrilled to be back in production for season 2,” showrunner David Appelbaum said. “Can’t wait for our fans to see all of the mysteries and surprises we have in store. It’s going to be an exciting season.”
We’ll be sure to keep you updated as filming progresses, and we get closer to seeing what everyone’s been up to. Stay tuned!
What might happen in the La Brea season 2 plot?
We can’t say for certain where La Brea season 2 will go plot-wise, but the cliffhangers from the first season give us plenty of clues. Several characters managed to step through the mysterious gateways in the finale, so we’ll be following what they do on the other side.
Three of the gang got sucked into the Topanga portal, while another three took a risk on a new Seattle gateway as part of a rescue effort, wherever it might lead them to. Natalie pushed Isaiah through to 1988, which was the big emotional crescendo of the season.
Don’t fall! The best adventure movies
Investigations into the portals are yielding some results, but it’s mostly still filled with the unknown. La Brea season 2 is sure to answer some questions, but we expect plenty more to be added as episodes progress.
Who will be the La Brea season 2 cast?
We can expect all the main actors to reprise their roles in La Brea season 2. That includes Natalie Zea, Eoin Macken, Diesel La Torraca, Jack Martin, Michelle Vergara Moore, and more in the ensemble cast.
Expect some new additions as well, given some of these people have just hopped throw an opening time and space to who knows where. Once again, we’ll keep you informed on any new announcements as and when they happen.
Where can you watch La Brea?
Le Brea is available on Hulu if you’re in the US. You can sign up for the service through our link here. Unfortunately, British readers are out of luck, but that’s not too unusual for a genre show gathering steam steal.
Bizarre: The best science fiction movies
Hopefully La Brea season 2 lets more people in on the mystery. We were going to make a portal joke there, but we considered that a gateway to a bad time. Anyway, for more TV, have a look at our guides to Sweet Magnolias season 3 and Mayor of Kingstown season 2.

"Widen the lens, narrow the divide" is a new phrase I am coining.
Longstanding stigmas have created a divide between mentally healthy individuals and those with mental health disorders. Individuals with a mental illness are subject to negative judgments and stigmatization significantly more than any other illness. Struggling to cope and manage their mental illness is difficult enough without facing weighty social isolation and prejudices.
With Mental Health Awareness Month and Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week earlier this month, I scheduled several planning meetings to find creative ways to promote mental health. Along with several individuals, we entertained ideas on how to best share and educate children and the public about mental health.
It is one month in a year we attempt an all-out campaign to not only share information about mental health and wellness but give focus on reducing stigma, associated fears, anxiety, non-acceptance and prejudices that exist.
This year we planned an array of activities, such as an “Express Yourself” contest for middle school youth to show positive ways to cope, a Children’s Mental Health Proclamation signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker, a social media toolkit, infographics, newsletter articles, and a webinar.
In one of the meetings, a colleague shared that the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health, an affiliate of 120 national, state, and local partners focusing on youth and mental health needs and challenges, has started a movement to change the language from awareness to acceptance.
Also reported, in December 2021, the Surgeon General stated an urgency to address the nation’s youth mental health crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. His address supports the need to look at mental health through a new lens and move from simply having an awareness to accepting those living with mental health challenges. Furthermore, as established by the Federation of Families:
• To accept that 1 in 5 youth experiences a mental health challenge
• To accept that mental health challenges must be met with understanding and support
• To accept that prejudice and discrimination toward individuals who experience mental health challenges creates a barrier to seeking treatment - and it must be eliminated
• To accept that our youth are facing serious challenges ahead that need to be addressed
• To accept that the future wellbeing of our country depends on how we support and invest in the next generation” Source: https://www.ffcmh.org/acceptanceweek
In previous articles, I have shared the issue of bullying. Non-acceptance and bullying of youth with mental health disorders is traumatizing. Research also shows that bullying causes mental health issues, anxiety, depression and suicide. Staying in step with changing the language to mental health acceptance, let’s widen our lens and narrow the divide by making a personal commitment and community culture more accepting and inclusive of others who are different from us, especially those with mental health challenges.

AbbVie: Strong Earnings Make Bull Case For Reassuringly Undervalued Pharma
Summary
- AbbVie management has set itself the tough challenge of dealing with the patent expiry of $20bn selling Humira while maintaining top-line revenue growth.
- At the heart of its plan are its two replacement assets Skyrizi and Rinvoq, forecast to deliver $15bn of revenue between them by 2026.
- The company's >$60bn Allergan acquisition appears to be paying off - its aesthetic division is delivering outstanding sales and growth.
- Oncology looks solid too, and an Alzheimer's therapy is in the pipeline.
- Investors have benefitted from sustained share price growth from this young, yet major pharma company. It would not be unreasonable to expect a further >20% share price growth to accompany an excellent dividend.

Investment Thesis
Since AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) was spun out of Abbott Laboratories (ABT) in 2012, the company's share price has grown by >230%, outperforming the S&P 500, which has grown by 210% over the same period, and most of its big pharma rivals.
The company's share price hit an all-time peak of $116 in February 2018, before management made its first major misstep, acquiring Stemcentryx in a ~$10bn deal, in order to gain access to ROVA-T - a small cell lung cancer drug that ultimately failed to make it to market.
By August 2019, AbbVie's share price had nearly halved, trading at ~$65, as investors digested the ROVA-T news, and also began to worry about the future of the pharma's mega-blockbuster immunology drug Humira, which was earning it nearly $20bn per annum.
Humira went off patent in Europe in 2018, and sales duly fell in the region by 15% between 2019 and 2020, from $4.3bn, to $3.72bn. The drug earns most of its revenue in the US, however, where it's patent protected until 2023. Between 2019 and 2020, sales grew by 8.4% in the US, from $14.86bn, to $16.1bn.
The phenomenal success of Humira has allowed AbbVie to grow its top line revenues from $18.4bn in 2012, to $33.3bn in 2019, but the pharma's dependence on sales of a single drug with patent expires looming - Humira accounted for 58% of AbbVie's total revenues in 2019 - was troubling for investors, restricting share price growth.
AbbVie's response to its Humira problem has been rapid, proactive and impressive, however. First of all, the company has developed two new drugs - Rinvoq and Skyrizi - it believes can become standards of care in all of the markets where Humira currently enjoys dominance e.g. Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis.
Management believes that Skyrizi and Rinvoq can generate $15bn of sales between them within five years, more than offsetting expected declines in Humira revenues over the same period, as generic competitors eat into the blockbusters' sales.
Secondly, AbbVie took the bold step of acquiring Allergan - a pharma specializing in neuroscience and aesthetic medicine - for $63bn last year, becoming highly leveraged with debt in the process. Long-term debt currently stands at ~$74bn.
AbbVie's management is admirably transparent however and has mapped out in detail for investors how it intends to cope with the loss of Humira exclusivity, and ultimately grow top-line revenues in the mid-single digits in the second half of this decade, whilst paying down debt and delivering double digit earnings per share.
In a previous post I have provided a thorough overview of management's plans, showing how sales within its immunology, oncology, aesthetics, neuroscience, eye care, and women's health segments are expected to grow and help the company potentially earn nearly $70bn in FY26 sales - at a CAGR of ~4.4%.
After two strong earnings quarters in 2021 so far, management appears to be delivering on all fronts, which is great news for the company and its shareholders.
AbbVie has traditionally paid a generous dividend, which currently stands at $5.2 per annum, for a yield of 4.5%, but shareholders ought to be excited about the company's share price potential also.
In my last note, I plotted the pharma's likely revenues, based on management's detailed guidance, through 2026, showing how, after a down year in 2023, AbbVie ought to be able to return to revenue growth in 2024 and beyond, and using discounted cash flow, set a price target of $158 for the stock price.
In this latest company update I'm modifying my target slightly, bringing it down to $139, based on a number of factors I will explain below, but overall, I continue to believe the pharma's shares are at least 20% undervalued.
Although management has faced bipartisan government criticism for some of its drug pricing policies, as I explained in another recent note on the company, from a shareholder perspective it's hard to fault its stewardship, bringing new drugs to market that improve upon current standards of care, while generating strong cash flow, growing the dividend and keeping the balance sheet healthy, despite being highly leveraged.
As such I continue to maintain my bullish stance on the company and make it a top five pharma investment that ought to keep its shareholders happy for years to come.
Add to that the exciting upside potential of the company's latest tilt at an Alzheimer's drug, shifting its focus from tau clearance to amyloid beta reduction, and there ought to be plenty more for shareholders to look forward to in the latter half of this year, and for the rest of the decade, despite some headwinds which I will also discuss below.
Recent Performance - Q1 and Q221 Results Hint At A Well Executed Growth Strategy
AbbVie released its Q221 results on July 30, reporting total revenues of $13.96bn, which was a 34% uplift over Q220, or 19.3% on a comparable operational basis, with some assets from the Allergan acquisition not having posted a full quarter's revenue in Q220.
AbbVie quarterly results Q220 - Q221 plus FY results 2018 - 2020. Source: my table using company's historical financial data.
Operating earnings in Q221 were $4.44bn, making a total of $8.54bn for the half year, vs. $4.36bn in the first half of 2020. Net income in Q221 was just $769m on a GAAP basis, owing to a $1.66bn after tax intangible asset amortization charge, but this was a significant improvement on the $738m loss recorded in Q220.
Combined with the $3.87bn of net income reported in Q121, AbbVie posted GAAP earnings in H121 of $4.32bn - up 90% from the $2.27bn reported in H120, and EPS grew from $1.44 in H120, to $2.42 in H121.
These are respectable numbers, albeit a little inconsistent, which is often the case when looking at GAAP as opposed to adjusted earnings. For example, AbbVie has reported GAAP full-year EPS of $3.67, $5.30, and $2.73 in 2018, 2019, and 2020 respectively, but management is guiding for non-GAAP earnings of $12.52 to $12.62 in FY21.
That includes $6.48 per share of "intangible asset amortization expense, non-cash charges for contingent consideration adjustments and other specified items," but even without that, we can see that management is making progress, with GAAP EPS expectations for $6.04 to $6.14.
While the GAAP earnings forecast has been reduced by management when announcing Q221 results, from $7.27 to $7.47, the non-GAAP forecast has been raised, from $12.37 to $12.5. The key issues impacting the GAAP forecasts, in my view, are the looming US patent expiry of Humira, which is contributing to intangible asset write downs, and the company's debt.
Long-term debt fell from $77.6bn in Q121, to $77.2bn in Q221, and in remarks on the Q221 earnings call, AbbVie's Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer Rob Michael advised that:
We have already paid down $12 billion of combined company debt. We expect to achieve $17 billion of cumulative debt paid down by the end of this year, with further deleveraging through 2023.
This will bring our net leverage ratio to 2.4 times by the end of 2021. And approximately two times by the end of 2022.
When also taking into account cost synergies that amount to $880m in H121, and are expected to reach $1.7bn by the end of the year, and exceed $2bn in FY22, and the relatively cheap cost of debt at this time - interest expense was a manageable, if costly $1.3bn in H121 - it seems clear that the Allergan acquisition looks set to be a benefit to the company, rather than a hindrance, and this was borne out by Allergan assets excellent sales in Q221.
Allergan Assets Lead Strong Quarter For Revenues
AbbVie collated drug sales Q120 - Q221 plus FY earnings 2020 and forecast for 2021. Source: my table using data from, company, management guidance.
AbbVie's neuroscience division - inherited from Allergan - posted revenues of >$1.4bn in Q221 - up 29.6% on an operational basis, according to management, and up 19.8% sequentially, based on my calculation.
The contribution from the Aesthetics division was also >$1.4bn - up 26.3% sequentially - whilst Eye Care was up 12.6% sequentially, to $919m, and Women's Health was up 13.5% sequentially, to $191m.
In the table above, I have shown the sales performance of Q121 and Q221 combined as a percentage of management's forecast earnings for 2021 in the second to last column, and as we can see, the Allergan assets look well on track to deliver the ~$15bn of additional revenues per annum forecast by management ahead of the closing of the deal.
Elsewhere, sales of Humira continue to rise overall, despite continuing losses in Europe, as US sales increased from $3.9bn in Q121, to $4.3bn in Q221. This is partly due to price hikes, as management looks to eke the maximum out of Humira before it goes off patent in 2023, offering larger rebates to insurers to continue to preserve the drug's standard-of-care status.
Encouragingly, Humira's biggest rival for market share in Psoriasis - one of its leading indications - is Skyrizi, which management says has taken a 20% prescription share. Skyrizi's overall revenues for the quarter were $674m - up 17% sequentially, and the drug looks set for an approval in Crohn's Disease, after returning positive data from a Phase 3 trial, meeting its co-primary endpoints of endoscopic response and clinical remission at one year in adult patients. AbbVie has already submitted its marketing application for Skyrizi in Psoriatic Arthritis, supported by 2 successful Phase 3 studies.
Meanwhile, Rinvoq sales increased by 25% sequentially, to $378m. The drug already is approved for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and looks in line for approvals in Atopic Dermatitis in Europe, with 3 positive Phase 3 data readouts supporting its application, and in Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis in the US, although the FDA has informed management that it will not meet its scheduled PDUFA date, due to the fact the agency is still reviewing results of Pfizer's Xeljanz post marketing study.
Both Xeljanz and Rinvoq are JAK inhibitors, a class of drug that's still considered potentially unsafe, although Rinvoq appears to have cleared all of its safety hurdles in trials, including in Phase 3 trials in Ulcerative Colitis.
Should AbbVie secure approvals for Skyrizi and Rinvoq in all of the above indications, that would leave Hidradenitis Suppurativa as the only indication in which Humira is approved that the newer drugs are not, and both are in Phase 2 trials in HS.
Based on their impressive sequential growth in Q212, both of AbbVie's long-term Humira replacements look set to meet their target revenues for FY21, of $2.9bn and $1.7bn respectively. Long term, however, the target combined revenues of $15bn by 2026 still looks some way off - management has work to do, but if it gets its sought after approvals, the figure ought to be achievable.
Finally, in hematological oncology, Imbruvica and Venclexta made sequential revenue gains of 9% and 7.4%, earning $1.38bn and $435m of revenues respectively. Venclexta sales were up 44% year-on-year, and the drug earned its sixth Breakthrough Therapy Designation, for treatment of high- and very high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
The Long View - Keep Executing, and Management Can Keep The Share Price Rising
AbbVie sales forecasts to FY26. Source: my table using company historical data plus my assumptions based on mgmt. guidance.
I used the above table in my last post to show my interpretation of how management's forecast long term growth patterns, presented at the JPMorgan conference earlier this year.
Management expects robust top-line revenue growth until the Humira loss-of-exclusivity ("LOE") in 2023, which coincides with a slight dip in revenues, before growth begins again.
I have used an average CAGR revenue growth rate of 7.5% for all drugs where management has not provided a specific peak revenue target. Skyrizi and Rinvoq are expected by management to contribute $7bn and $8bn by FY26, and the atypical antipsychotic Vraylar, target $4bn sales, and Ubrelvy, a novel migraine treatment which is expected to achieve blockbuster (~$1bn per annum) sales.
That gives me a long-term 4.4% CAGR growth target, which translates to revenues of $69.3bn by FY26. AbbVie's encouraging results across H121 continue to support the validity of its long-term growth strategy and forecasts, with only Mavyret - a Hepatitis C therapy - and the Women's Health divisions revenue forecasts having been revised down by management so far.
Present Day Valuation
My forecast income statement for AbbVie therefore remains very similar to what I presented earlier this year - that is, for the company to meet its adjusted EPS of $12.6 in FY26, with operating expenses at ~50% of sales, interest expense of $2.45bn, tax at ~13%, and a net profit margin of 40%.
AbbVie income statement forecast to FY26. Source: company historical data + my assumptions based on management guidance.
As we can see above, I'm forecasting for top-line revenues to grow by >4% per annum, even factoring in falling Humira revenues, and for net profit margins to increase slightly as cost synergies are realised, giving me net income of ~$30bn by FY26, and EPS of $17 - forward PE of 6.7x.
Finally, let's turn to my calculated present day share price valuation using discounted cash flow analysis.
AbbVie present day share price value based on DCF calculation. Source: my table and assumptions using historical data, mgmt. guidance.
I have made some changes to this part of the forecast since my last note, which has resulted in a lower share price target. My free cash flow in FY21 remains $21.6bn, rising to $28.5bn in FY26.
My weighted average cost of capital has increased slightly, to 12.1%, and I'm also using a growth rate in perpetuity of 2%, instead of 3.5%, to give the company a little less leeway.
After applying my discount factors, I come to a market valuation for AbbVie of $245.9bn, which translates to a share price target of $139. I also included an EBITDA multiple calculation, which sets a share price target of $208, which helps to illustrate that, even at a 22% premium to current share price, I'm not getting carried away with my guidance.
Some Risks To Consider
AbbVie is following a clear strategic path to growth, and as I have mentioned management has been very transparent in communicating what investors ought to expect from year-to-year, and even from quarter to quarter.
Investing in the company is not without risk, however. I would list the following three issues as the ones which are most likely to derail the company's plans going forward, and therefore damage its share price.
Skyrizi and Rinvoq must win in autoimmune - AbbVie has been the dominant force in autoimmune for a decade or more, but that is largely thanks to one drug - Humira.
Clearly, AbbVie has invested significant money, time and resource into ensuring that its long-term replacements can become long-term standards of care, but their markets are intensely competitive. Skyrizi, an inhibitor of the cytokine IL23, competes against the likes of Amgen's (AMGN) Otezla, Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Tremfya, and Novartis' (NVS) Cosentyx.
Rinvoq also faces competition, from e.g. Olumiant and Xeljans, manufactured by Eli Lilly (LLY) and Pfizer (PFE), respectively.
Of more concern may be the drugs' safety profile, which drew many questions from analysts on the recent analysts call.
Rinvoq appears safe and well tolerated at a 15mg dose, and the failure of other JAK inhibitors on safety grounds may be Rinvoq's gain, but equally, the prospect of a withdrawal from the market, or an FDA or EMA refusal to approve in new markets, cannot be ruled out.
Debt could still become a problem for AbbVie - AbbVie is a heavily-indebted company, and although it has a plan to reduce its leverage ratio to <2x EBITDA by 2023, the company's debt was downgraded after its Allergan buyout by S&P, to BBB+. Missed repayments could lead to a further downgrade, and a falling share price, as investors seek safer havens.
Lack of a long-term pipeline - most of AbbVie's growth strategy consists of drugs that are already approved winning out in new markets, and although this strategy is admirable and underpins much of the revenue growth I have shown and discussed above, the company will still be under some pressure to bring new drugs to market, and its high debt levels probably rules out any further M&A activity. The current new drug pipeline is perhaps slightly too thin.
With that said, however, it appears that the company has now decided on a new Alzheimer's push. Having discontinued development of its AD therapy ABB-8E12, the company says it has TREM2 and CD33 directed assets that "target pathologic tau through novel mechanisms," as well as an amyloid beta targeting therapy in development.
Clearly, AbbVie has taken note of Biogen's (BIIB) success with Aduhelm - getting the drug approved on the flimsiest of evidence that reducing levels of beta amyloid in Alzheimer's patients' brains leads to a slowing of cognitive decline - and believes it can do better.
AbbVie's Vice Chairman and President Michael Severino told analysts on the latest earnings call that he expects to introduce a candidate into the clinic by the end of this year or early next, "that clears plaque more rapidly than existing agents with a reduced risk of amyloid related imaging abnormalities or area."
Conclusion - Fortune Seems To Favor AbbVie's Brave Approach
A strong set of Q1 and Q221 earnings help to demonstrate that AbbVie management's bold approach to ensuring the Humira LOE does not define its future is paying off.
Management has spent big, taken on more risks, and set more ambitious targets than many of its big pharma rivals. AbbVie is still a young, hungry company that has chosen not to rest on its laurels, but to think beyond Humira, and that ambition has made the company a top 10 global Pharma.
Its dividend is best in class, its revenue growth more than acceptable, at around a 4.5% CAGR long term, and its dominance in auto-immune looks set to continue, while its two major oncology drugs, and its Allergan assets offer diversification, and ~$22.5bn of additional revenues per annum.
AbbVie looks set to be a major player across multiple therapeutic modalities for years to come, and although it's far from a de-risked investment opportunity, it's not hard to make the case for further 20-25% for this enterprising pharma's shares over the next 12-18 months.

Summer wedding season has always tangoed with the high potential for an alfresco setup. Beachside and patio nuptials relegated to the Sun Belt and more tropical locales during the fall, winter, and early spring, are now fair game for all hopeful “I do” sayers. So if you’re heading to a wedding in June, July, August, or the fair-weathered month of September, you’ve got to be ready to rumble with uneven ground — and we mean this literally, no ambiguity to the couple getting married. Comfortable wedding guest shoes are always a nice-to-have but become a strategic part of your overall look if you anticipate walking, standing, or dancing on gravel, grass, or sand.

Comfortable heels may not even be part of the ensemble equation if your invitation promises a picnic in the park or a bonfire by the sea because kitten heels or other styles of slim, low-heeled dress shoes could render a walk to your seat as arduous as a Tough Mudder obstacle course. So, this list of chunky summer platforms, lug soles, flats, and other comfort shoe brand options sticks to suggestions that give you the best chance of pleasantly partying outside. You can always go barefoot if you can withstand some sole scalding or dirt between your toes but if you want a functional sandal to complete your wedding guest look, one of the 17 pairs ahead — in order from least to most gravel-grinding — could be your ticket to summer wedding outfit bliss.
There's not too much to say about these sparkly slides in the way of gravel-grinding potential. But they are flat, have a bit of a rubber sole, and you certainly won't be teetering around in them. Style-wise they've got a sort of wrong-but-right Y2K flash that would look equally good with a dress at a wedding as with a pair of blue jeans and tee at another time. Score them now while they're on sale for 50% off.

The ‘80s are back as the much-anticipated sequel to ‘Top Gun’ (1986) flies into theaters. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ premiered on May 24 with a new, diverse cast of naval aviators set to compete for spots on a mission at the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, also known as Top Gun.
Actor Greg Tarzan Davis talks to Military Times about carrier life, pulling Gs, and portraying Lt. Javy Machado, call sign ‘Coyote,’ a fighter pilot with something to prove.
“It was fun, and it was tough,” Davis said when describing the physical aftermath of experiencing G-force. “I felt like I’d just survived a car wreck, like I’d played 10 NFL football games.”
While the original Top Gun movie was primarily filmed in the studio; this time, the cast filmed the flight scenes in the seats of real fighter jets. The actors went through an intense training program and an adjustment period before they could begin shooting.
“Tom Cruise created this amazing program so we could adjust to being in the air,” said Davis. “We started out by flying Cessnas before moving to the next upgrade, the EA-300, then after that we moved to the jet they say is most closely related to the F-18, the L39, then to the Big Daddy itself – the F-18.”
The objective was to increase G-force tolerance levels. Towards the end of the shoot, the cast had adjusted to a point they hadn’t imagined possible.
According to Davis, as filming progressed, there was a competition amongst the actors to see who could pull the most G’s while airborne in the various Navy jets.
But he says it was actress Monica Barbaro, who portrays Lt. Natasha’ Phoenix’ Trace, who won.
“She pulled 10 G’s at least 56 times,” noted an impressed Davis.
Carrier life and filming location
Davis said he came away from the experience with a much higher respect for the military as a whole. He spoke excitedly about the experience, and speaks of having G-force withdrawals.
Living with the Navy for ten months gave him a window to military life he never knew, and, even though it was a short time, it informed both him and his character.
Davis spent a short time filming and living on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. He says he had no idea what to expect. He was only allowed to bring a small bag and wasn’t told what they’d be doing — not in filming, accommodations, or meals. He was especially appreciative of the welcome he received and not being treated differently by the crew.
“It’s a different world from the glitz and glamour of my trailer,” said Davis. “I loved it. For a short time, I had a chance to become a part of the Navy.”
In the Navy
I have so much respect for the military and the Navy overall, but being able to live that life, to live that way, to experience just an ounce of what they give, I respect it,” said Davis.
He was at NAS Lemoore and Whidbey Island NAS military bases for the rest of filming and said he was immersed in military life at both. We were fully engaged in their work, schedules, and even the party lifestyles, he said.
When they started filming in October; the cast’s first scene was an opening scene, an introduction to the characters at the TOPGUN school. But by the end of filming, after their experience of actually flying in the F-18 and other jets, they had to go back and reshoot the opening.
“I felt like we all walked with a different type of swagger,” said Davis. “By then, we had that Navy experience in blood and in our bones.”
‘Coyote’ brings diversity to ‘Top Gun: Maverick’
Of his character, Davis said ‘Coyote’ is a person who works hard. But he feels he has to prove himself; he had to get out of the mud and work his way up from the bottom.
Other new call signs soon to be household names are Warlock, Cyclone, Hondo, Payback, Phoenix, Hangman, and Omaha, and Rooster.
Fans of the original ‘Top Gun’ may remember the only black aviator in the film was LTJG Marcus’ Sundown’ Williams, a F-14 Tomcat RIO or NFO. This time ‘Top Gun’ has a Black pilot upfront and in charge.
He said he’s happy that a child who resembles him can now look up at the movie screen and say, “Oh, one day I can be like him.”
“I think we’re making steps in the right direction with diversity,“ said Davis. “I am honored to be that person who can bring that diversity to the film.”
As for whether there’ll be an uptick in military aviation applications as occurred after the original film, he’s more circumspect.
“I don’t know,” said Davis. “We can’t predict that outcome, but we set out to make a great film that’s going to inspire people, whether it’s to join the Navy or to make films, I don’t know. But it’s going to make you feel something.” | https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2022/05/27/kicking-tires-and-lighting-fires-with-coyote-from-top-gun-maverick/ | 2022-05-27T21:26:31Z | https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2022/05/27/kicking-tires-and-lighting-fires-with-coyote-from-top-gun-maverick/ | true | 1 |

- The Australian dollar extends its weekly rally to two straight weeks, up 1.68%.
- The AUD/USD rises on positive Australian and US economic data as recession fears wane and expectations for a non-aggressive US Fed.
- Next week, the US economic docket will be busy and will feature releases of ISM PMIs, Fed speakers, and employment data to digest.
The Australian dollar reclaims the 0.7100 mark and records a fresh three-week high, up 0.83%. At 0.7159, the AUD/USD reflects the upbeat market sentiment amid the release of high US inflation, though ticking down from the March reading.
Investors cheered that US inflation is back below 5%, and US equities climb
Before Wall Street opened, the US Department of Commerce revealed that inflationary pressures in the US are still high but lower than in March. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge, rose by 4.9% YoY, higher than the recorded in March of 5.1%. The market reacted positively to the news, turning towards riskier assets, as they discount that the Fed might pause or slow the pace of tightening conditions.
In the same release, consumer spending increased by 0.9% in April and beat the street’s forecast as consumers boosted purchases of goods and services, a sign that could underpin US economic growth in the Q2 amid increasing worries of a recession.
Elsewhere, during the Asian session, Australian Retail Sales for April rose by 0.9% as expected, marking a rise for four consecutive months, depicting the resilience of consumers, albeit a higher inflation reading, around 5.1% in the Q1.
The release of upbeat economic data for Australia and the US helped risk appetite. That triggered the so-awaited upside break on the AUD/USD, clearing the previous weekly high at 0.7126. As the North American session winds down, the AUD/USD settled in the mid-range of the 0.7100-0.7200 area.
In the week ahead, the Australian docket will feature the Real GDP for Q1. TD Securities analysts expect them to rise by 1.2%, higher than expected. They added that “Growth momentum probably slowed in Q1 as economic activity was interrupted by the Omicron wave and floods in Queensland and NSW. However, we think these shocks are temporary as domestic demand should be relatively resilient, as reflected in the strong Q1 retail sales outturn. We expect the RBA to make a bolder policy move in June as the economy is on a strong footing.”.
On the US front, the docket will reveal the May ISM Manufacturing and the Business related PMIs, Fed speakers, and employment data.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — It did not take Omar Khan long to figure out he wanted to be around football. Growing up in New Orleans as an ardent Saints fan in the 1980s and 90s, he knew right away his life’s mission was to be involved in the NFL.
Even as he matured, even as he realized — like nearly every kid that dreams of playing on Sundays in the fall — that he probably didn’t have the talent to actually pull a helmet over his head and run out of the tunnel, the goal remained the same.
Over and over again, Khan would tell his father A.R. and his mother Carmen that he planned to be in the league. Somehow. Some way. He wasn’t going to be a doctor. Or a lawyer. Or a teacher. All noble professions to be sure. Just professions he knew weren’t for him.
“All I wanted to do was work in the NFL, become a general manager and win a bunch of Super Bowls,” Khan said.
Khan, 45, already has the Super Bowls checked off after helping the Pittsburgh Steelers win two after joining the franchise more than two decades ago.
Now he’ll get a chance to do it as the guy calling the shots after the Steelers promoted him to replace Kevin Colbert as general manager.
“I’m confident time will show this was the right decision for this franchise,” Khan said shortly after being formally introduced. “I don’t take anything for granted. I understand the expectations that come with this job.”
Expectations that have long been part of the franchise’s firmament, expectations that Khan has dealt with in some capacity for more than 20 years.
He initially joined the Steelers in 2000 as a football operations/coaching assistant, the first of what would be several positions he would hold while methodically working his way up the ladder, most recently building a reputation as a shrewd salary-cap guru while serving as the club’s vice president of football operations and business administration.
Khan expects to remain heavily involved in contract negotiations, noting “I’ll have my hands in a lot of things I’ve done before.”
While team president Art Rooney II stressed “we know Omar and Omar knows us,” Khan is assembling a staff that will include outside voices. Philadelphia Eagles vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl is returning to his hometown, and former Detroit Lions vice president and Washington Commanders scout Sheldon White is also entering the fold.
Khan declined to get into specifics on what Weidl and White’s respective titles will be. He called both of them “Steelers-type” people, pointing to their loyalty and ability to fit quickly into the team’s culture. Dan Colbert, Kevin Colbert’s son, also is being elevated for what Khan termed a “senior” position.
It’s unclear whether Brandon Hunt, Pittsburgh’s pro scouting coordinator, will remain with the club. Hunt is among more than a dozen candidates who interviewed for the chance to become Kevin Colbert’s successor. Hunt also has recently interviewed for vacant positions with other clubs, including Philadelphia.
Khan’s promotion and the new brain trust at the top of the team’s flow chart, coupled with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement and the offseason overhaul of the coaching staff that included longtime defensive coordinator Keith Butler’s departure, signals a significant amount of turnover for a place almost synonymous with stability.
Yes, the faces and titles may be evolving, but Khan insists the standard the Steelers hold themselves to is not.
“Look I can tell you from the first day I started here in Pittsburgh, it’s been all about football and building a championship roster here and that’s not going to change,” Khan said.
He inherits a roster that has established stars like reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt and perennial Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cam Heyward as well as emerging players like running back Najee Harris.
Pittsburgh is coming off a 9-7-1 season that ended with a playoff loss in Kansas City. The Steelers haven’t won a postseason game in more than five years, the franchise’s longest drought between playoff victories since the birth of the “Super Steelers” dynasty in the early 1970s.
Still, Khan is excited about the team’s trajectory and eager to continue to work with coach Mike Tomlin, whose passion resonates throughout the building.
It’s a passion that Khan cultivated long ago, one that planted the seeds for what he is calling his “dream job.” Not bad for the son of immigrants from India and Honduras.
And yes, the significance of his hiring at a time when the NFL is grappling with better representation both on the sideline and in front offices is not lost on him. He’s also eager for the day when the ethnicity of who is getting what job is no longer newsworthy.
“I hope we get to the point where we need to have those conversations,” Khan said. “I’m excited about what the league is doing … I think it’s heading in the right direction.”

We have always believed that if you do what you're good at, you're doing your part at improving the world around you.
Kindness, creativity, and willingness to help and share knowledge are the foundation of a happy and prosperous future and our collective effort is bringing it closer, step by step.
Because we specialize in helping people build digital connections regardless of the distance and all the challenges, we know how much unity and support can do when it comes to opposing injustices and dealing with crises.
For that reason, Folderly has been standing with Ukraine since February 24th,
"There should be no wars in the modern world. A young, blooming country should be focusing on its growth and development, not fighting for its life. This is not right. I'm not going just to stand and watch. We can offer more than thoughts and prayers. We can do a lot more"
Vladislav Podolyako, Folderly CEO
Even though we're a US-based company, a fraction of our clients are based in Ukraine and stays in touch with us. In spite of everything, they keep working hard to provide their army and country with solid backup, to keep its economy running. We were more than willing to assist them, apply our resources, and support the Ukrainian people and the Armed Forces of Ukraine as they continue fighting back against Russia's invasion, defending their right to freedom and sovereignty.
Our goal is to reduce suffering, offer a helping hand, and provide security and safety to everyone who has suffered and continues suffering from this horrible war.
To date, we reached the following results:
- 20 Ukrainian experts hired to Folderly's team
- $ 50 000 USD donated to the Ukrainian army
- 200 humanitarian parcels sent
We intend to continue supporting Ukraine until the end of the war in any way we can, to help it protect its future and take its rightful place in the world of cooperation, communication, connections, and empathy.
Our global mission is to make sure that life will defeat death and light will defeat darkness.

MINNEAPOLIS — One year after 9-year-old Trinity Ottoson-Smith was shot and killed while playing on a trampoline in a Minneapolis backyard, the community will gather for a balloon release in her honor.
Trinity's death was among a violent span where three children were the victims of accidental gunfire in Minneapolis less than three weeks apart. Aniya Allen was eating McDonald's when she was shot in the head. The 6-year-old was rushed to Hennepin Healthcare, where she died two years later.
La'Davionne Garrett Jr. was 10 when he was struck by a bullet in the backseat of his parent's car. Garrett Jr., now 11, survived his injuries and recently left the hospital to continue recovering at home.
The anti-crime organizations Spotlight on Crime and CrimeStoppers teamed up to offer up to $180,000 in reward money to anyone with information in any of the shootings. The reward is believed to be the largest amount ever offered in Minnesota.
In February, 19-year-old Dpree Robinson from Minneapolis was charged with second-degree murder in connection to the shooting death of Ottoson-Smith, but Minneapolis police have not reported any progress in finding the people responsible for shooting either Allen or Garrett Jr.
"Trinity and Aniya should have never been murdered. Ladavionne, the course of his life should have never changed," said Trinity's stepmother Korrina Smith outside the Hennepin County Government Center earlier this year.
The balloon release is scheduled for Friday, May 27 at Becker Park in Crystal. The event is scheduled to begin around 6 p.m. with balloons being released at sunset. | https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/remembering-trinity-ottoson-smith/89-76e40e2f-3b41-43ce-a48d-3e1b0736d650 | 2022-05-27T21:44:13Z | https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/remembering-trinity-ottoson-smith/89-76e40e2f-3b41-43ce-a48d-3e1b0736d650 | false | 1 |

NEW YORK, May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against CareDx, Inc. (“CareDx” or the “Company”) ( CDNA) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors who purchased CareDx stock between February 24, 2021 through May 5, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The Complaint alleges that CareDx misled investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants had engaged in a variety of improper and illegal schemes to inflate revenue and demand for testing services; (2) these practices subjected the Company to an undisclosed risk of regulatory scrutiny; and (3) these practices artificially inflated the revenue reported from CareDx’s testing services throughout the Class Period.
On October 28, 2021, CareDx disclosed that it was subject of at least three government investigations (by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities Exchange Commission, and a state regulatory agency), concerning the Company’s business practices related to its kidney testing and phlebotomy services, as well as its accounting and public reporting practices. On this news, the price of CareDx shares dropped $19.34, or 27.5%, from a closing price of $70.34 per share on October 28, 2021, to close at $51.00 per share on October 29, 2021, on extremely heavy trading volume.
On April 15, 2022, CareDx’s former Head of Community Nephrology, Dr. Michael Olymbios, sued the Company, alleging, among other things, that the Company had “engaged in various forms of clinical and marketing schemes in an effort to justify [CareDx product] AlloSure’s use, even when that use lacked clinical support and fell outside of the conditional approval extended to it [by Medicare].” On this news, the price of CareDx stock fell $2.86, or 8.1 %, from a closing price of $35.41 on the previous trading day, April 14, 2022, to close at $32.55 per share on the next trading day of April 18, 2022.
On May 5, 2022, CareDx announced that the Company’s testing service revenue fell significantly short of analysts’ expectations, and that average sales price had declined by approximately 4.9% compared with the final quarter of 2021. On this news, the price of CareDx stock dropped $5.88, or 18.6%, from a closing price of $31.66 per share on May 5, 2022, to close at $25.87 per share on May 6, 2022.
Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of CareDx should contact the Firm prior to the July 22, 2022 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. If you wish to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M. Egleston, Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected].

Which travel shoe bag is best?
The last thing many people think of when packing their bags for an upcoming trip is their shoes. It’s not solely about bringing the right shoes that complement your outfit. It’s also ensuring that your shoes don’t lose their shape or dirty your other clothes.
The good news is that even the best bags, like the Yamiu Travel Shoe Bag, are extremely lightweight, affordable and incredibly versatile. If you buy travel shoe bags as a set, you can use the extra bags to help organize your toiletries, makeup and even towels.
What to know before you buy a travel shoe bag
Destination
Contact with dirt and grime is a part of a shoe’s job description. However, some travel destinations can bring home more dirt than others.
For example, a macaw-filled hiking trip through Peru’s rainforests will bring home more mud than eating at a five-star Michelin restaurant in Paris.
Protection
Travel shoe bags are typically a second thought until you start packing away your things and realize just how dirty your shoes can get. Even if you spend hours detailing your shoes with a toothbrush and soap, it’s likely to have some dirt still remaining.
The best travel shoe bags are manufactured from rugged, waterproof material. These bags typically use nylon, which helps ensure that your high heels or firm boots don’t wear down the bag, helping to make your investment last.
The last thing you want is to get home and realize that your heels ripped through the bag and tore into your favorite dress. Even worse is the realization that sand from the beach has spilled from your shoes onto the rest of your belongings. That’s the type of stress that can ruin the perfect vacation.
A travel shoe bag is a perfect addition to your travel toolkit, and can help you stress-proof your vacation. So the next time you hop on a plane with your favorite travel pillow, know that your shoe bag is working to keep all your other items in pristine condition.
Organization and time
One of the most beneficial advantages travel shoe bags provide is that packing ultimately becomes easier. How often have you had to reorganize your suitcase or bag because your shoes fit awkwardly with the rest of your belongings?
The most efficient way to keep your suitcase organized is to use travel cubes. By adding travel shoe bags to the mix, you reduce the overall time it takes to pack. There’s no more worrying about sitting on top of your suitcase to try and get it to close.
Consequently, you end up having more time to enjoy your trip rather than wasting it on inefficient packing and unpacking.
What to look for in a quality travel shoe bag
Durability
Having to purchase new items because you forgot them back home is inevitable on most trips. However, there’s nothing worse than constantly replacing low-quality items.
When looking for the best travel shoe bag, the first thing you must consider is its durability. The way you use the bag helps dictate the level of durability you’ll need. For example, constantly throwing it in a carry-on is likely to cause quicker wear than gently packing it in a suitcase.
Breathability and water resistance
If your shoes can’t breathe after a long day of walking around town, it can cause mold and bacteria to build up. Consider a travel shoe bag that has a little bit of breathability to let out the excess moisture.
However, you don’t want a bag that has all mesh sides. Choosing a travel shoe bag with some form of water resistance can help protect your shoes in the long run. Who knows? You might drop your bag in a puddle or get stuck in a severe thunderstorm.
Adjustability
Having an adjustable travel shoe bag is essential so you can fit various types of footwear. For example, even if your casual shoes and hiking boots are the same sizes their external measurements will differ, and your shoe bag must be able to fit them all.
How much you can expect to spend on a travel shoe bag
You can expect to spend $9-$15 on a quality travel shoe bag.
Best travel shoe bag FAQ
Can you bring your shoes in a carry-on?
A. Of course. It’s not cost-friendly to pay extra for a dedicated shoe bag. Other than the additional weight and space, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to pack your shoes into your carry-on. However, if you have shoes shaped like a gun, you may want to consider leaving them home.
How do you pack shoes?
A. Travel shoe bags are excellent at keeping your other items clean. However, if you don’t take additional measures and pack carefully, you can end up ruining your shoe’s appearance. Consider packing small items such as socks and undergarments inside your shoes. That way, even if there are 10 pounds of clothes on top, they will retain most of their shape.

The AR-15-style weapon that a teenage shooter used to kill 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas last week was purchased from a company called Daniel Defense, based in Georgia.
One of the largest private manufacturers of guns in the US, its goods are easily procured online with a few clicks as Quartz recently tried out for itself.
Here’s what else you need to know about the company:
It sent “thoughts and prayers” to Uvalde victims’ families
The company put up a statement on its website that addressed the shooting saying it was “deeply saddened by the tragic events in Texas this week.”
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and community devastated by this evil act,” it read. The company also added that it was cooperating with law enforcement officials in the investigation.
Because of increased public scrutiny, it pulled out of the annual NRA show which opened Friday, stating that “we believe this week is not the appropriate time to be promoting our products in Texas.”
It also made the weapons used in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting
This is not the first time that Daniel Defense weapons were used in a mass shooting. The Las Vegas gunman who fired on a music festival in 2018 killing 58 people had bought four semi-automatic rifles made by the company.
Founded in 2000 by former garage door salesman Marty Daniel, the firm produced about 52,000 firearms in 2020, a big jump from the 32,000 in 2019, according to data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Daniel told Forbes in a 2017 interview that the company grossed $73 million in sales the year before.
Gun company stocks usually rise in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting event as people, worried about a crackdown on gun ownership, rush to buy more products. Although Daniel Defense is private, its owner said that it, too, has seen sales rise after mass shootings, including the one in Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012.
It’s a well-funded Republican donor
Daniel said in the same Forbes interview that he supported Trump “100% “in the 2016 election, praising the former president for his stance on gun ownership. Trump also happens to be giving the keynote speech on Friday evening at this year’s NRA convention.
This year, the owners of the company donated more than $70,000 directly to GOP candidates for federal office this election cycle, according to the Washington Post. Last year, the company itself gave $100,000 last year to a PAC backing incumbent Republican senators.
It recently used a toddler in its gun ads
A week before the shooting at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School, the company posted an ad featuring a toddler holding a gun. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” it published to Twitter on May 16, the same day the Robb Elementary shooter turned 18. It was a reference to a Bible verse.
The company has since taken down the tweet after a backlash, but gun companies have increasingly targeted young children, especially boys. Previous Defense Daniel social media posts show it has also funded high school shooting clubs.
It’s a prolific poster in social media
Daniel Defense’s marketing suggests it’s trying to reach a mainstream audience. In 2014, it submitted a minute-long spot for the Super Bowl but was rejected because of the NFL’s rules against advertisements for “firearms, ammunition or other weapons.” It posted the ad to its own website, calling it the “greatest Super Bowl ad that never was.”
Earlier this month, to mark Cinco de Mayo, it posted a video of a man shooting a piñata, which it matched to the lively beat of a mambo. For Christmas, it gift-wrapped guns and bullets in festive paper, while its 2016 Valentine’s Day post showed an illustration of a shooter spraying out a string of hearts instead of bullets.
Some of its regularly deployed hashtags are #pewpew #gunporn #gunsofinstagram and #ootd or “outfit of the day”, asking its followers to post pictures of their gun paired with their outfit.
It’s also quick to latch onto the cultural zeitgeist, including with a references to the hit Netflix show Squid Games. A few years back, the company promoted a photo of the singer Post Malone holding a gun, too. | https://qz.com/2171070/everything-we-know-about-daniel-defense-which-made-the-gun-used-in-uvalde/ | 2022-05-27T22:00:18Z | https://qz.com/2171070/everything-we-know-about-daniel-defense-which-made-the-gun-used-in-uvalde/ | false | 1 |
OTTAWA (REUTERS) - Investigators recovered a pellet gun from the scene where Toronto police shot and killed a man suspected of carrying a rifle in a section of the city that prompted five nearby schools to be placed under precautionary lockdowns.
On Thursday, police went to Scarborough after receiving multiple 911 calls about a man walking with a rifle and located him shortly after, Ontario province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said in a statement on Friday (May 27).
The man, 27, was pronounced dead about 20 minutes later.
Toronto police chief James Ramer told reporters after the incident that officers responding to the calls were confronted by the man, but had declined to give further details, citing an ongoing investigation.
This was after police said on Twitter that officers had fired and injured the suspect.
The incident occurred days after a gunman in the US state of Texas killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school.
The Texas shooting raised more concerns about growing gun violence.
Mass shootings are rare in Canada, where gun control laws are stricter than in the United States.
The investigation is ongoing and a post-mortem exam is scheduled for Saturday, said the SIU, which is an independent government agency tasked with investigating the conduct of officials, including police officers.
The SIU aims to complete its investigation within 120 days, which can vary depending on the case.
Canada's rate of firearm homicides is 0.5 per 100,000 people, far lower than the US rate of 4.12, according to a 2021 analysis by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/investigators-find-pellet-gun-near-scene-where-toronto-police-killed-suspected-gunman | 2022-05-27T22:06:12Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/world/investigators-find-pellet-gun-near-scene-where-toronto-police-killed-suspected-gunman | true | 5 |

Gov. Greg Abbott is set to address the public from Uvalde on Friday about the Robb Elementary School shooting this week that left 21 people dead including 19 students and two teachers. Abbott's appearance comes hours after state law enforcement said local police overseeing the response to the massacre made crucial mistakes.
Police officers did not act sooner to stop the 18-year-old gunman because a supervising officer at the scene wanted to wait for backup and equipment, said Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. By the time a specialized team of federal officers arrived and entered the school — they had to get keys from a janitor to open locked classroom doors — more than an hour had passed since the shooter arrived at the school, McCraw said.
"Of course it was not the right decision,” McCraw said. “It was the wrong decision."
McCraw also provided a more detailed timeline of what transpired that day, including 911 calls from teachers and students trapped inside with the gunman.
In the days after the massacre, DPS officials and Abbott put out conflicting information, including whether the shooter encountered a police officer employed by the school district before charging through a back door. Authorities later said there was no officer on campus when the shooter arrived and that he went into the building unopposed.
A day after the shooting, Abbott had praised law enforcement for their role in the shooting.
"It could have been worse. The reason it was not worse is because law enforcement officials did what they do," he said at the time.

Gopuff warehouses across the country will go poof as the company attempts to shore up overhead in low-volume areas.
Across the United States, the grocery delivery company is eliminating 22 warehouses that fulfill only a handful of orders per day in local markets, amid a wider pattern of financial stress at similar companies such as Gorillas and Getir, Insider reported Friday.
About half of the 22 warehouses will be shut down, according to Insider, while the other half will be reassessed for possible closure, though Gopuff does not plan to pull out of any regions entirely. The company also laid off 3 percent of its 15,000 workers last month, while nixing earlier plans for an IPO amid the market rout, Bloomberg reported.
Globally, Gopuff operates about 600 locations and is active in over 75 markets in the United States. The company does not expect the closures to affect service to its existing customers, and employees will be offered other roles within the company, a Gopuff spokesperson told Commercial Observer.
The boom in grocery delivery seems to have lost almost all momentum. Gorillas announced plans earlier this week that it would lay off 300 workers, only seven months after the Berlin-based company raised up to $1 billion. Gorillas is also exiting the Italy, Spain, Denmark and Belgium markets, TechCrunch reported. One source told the news organization that Gorillas has only $300 million in the bank.
Just this week, Getir CEO Nazım Salur announced that it would be axing 14 percent of its employees, but the Turkey-based company demurred when asked by the New York Post which roles would be on the chopping block.
This apparent bust in the grocery delivery game also comes on the heels of opposition by New York City leaders such as Councilmember Christopher Marte, who is fielding a bill to ban these companies from advertising 15-minute deliveries out of concern for traffic safety. The deliveries supposedly put pressure on workers using bicycles and scooters to rush to meet deadlines.
Grocery delivery companies have mostly operated under a similar model of leasing small retail storefronts that function as miniature warehouses and serving customers within a one-mile radius. They also offer full-time pay to employees, rather than treating them as contractors who often do not get compensation perceived as worthy of the hours and effort they put in, though Gopuff does employ gig workers in addition to full-time delivery workers.

Dollar at one-month low as Lagarde comments lift euro
NEW YORK, May 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar index hit nearly a one-month low on Tuesday after European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said euro zone interest rates will likely be in positive territory by the end of the third quarter, giving the euro a boost.
Lagarde's comments implied an increase of at least 50 basis points to the ECB deposit rate and fueled speculation of bigger hikes this summer to fight a surge in inflation tied to rising energy prices caused by the war in Ukraine and massive public-sector stimulus after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. read more
The euro was up 0.42% at $1.07355 at 3:25 p.m. EDT (1925 GMT). Over the past seven trading sessions, the single currency has rebounded 3.7% after having fallen to its lowest level since January 2017, at $1.0349, earlier this month.
"They were a little bit late in the party, in comparison to the Fed," John Doyle, vice president of dealing and trading at Monex USA, said of the ECB.
"But if you're going to see them try to catch up a bit to our tightening cycle over here, then that differential that the dollar has enjoyed between the Fed and the ECB has tightened a bit and that's why you've seen the euro get some relief from those multi-year lows," he said.
In the United States, most of the foreseeable monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve has likely been priced in already, said Marshall Gittler, head of investment research at BDSwiss.
"This difference in expectations could propel EUR/USD higher still over the next several sessions as the market has only recently begun to reprice this differential," he said.
Minutes from the Fed's May 3-4 policy meeting are due to be released on Wednesday.
Against a basket of other major currencies , the dollar was down 0.372% at 101.76, its lowest level since April 26.
The greenback weakened further after data showed U.S. business activity slowed in May as higher prices cooled demand for services while renewed supply constraints because of COVID-19 lockdowns in China and the war in Ukraine hampered production at factories. read more
S&P Global said its flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, showed the pace of growth was the slowest in four months.
Sterling fell against the U.S. dollar after PMI data showed that momentum in Britain's private sector slowed much more than expected this month, adding to recession worries as inflation pressures ratcheted higher. The British pound was down 0.48% at $1.2525.
The risk-sensitive Aussie dollar dipped 0.2% to $0.70965. The New Zealand dollar was 0.39% weaker at $0.64425, a day before the country's central bank is widely expected to raise its key interest rate by half a percentage point.

(The Center Square) – The Missouri legislature appropriated $20 million to solve a $1.35 billion economic problem – childcare.
Nestled into a 39-page House Bill 3002 is $10 million for funding childcare for essential workers and another $10 million for childcare for small businesses. The funds are part of a $450 million expenditure from the “Child Care Discretionary Federal Emergency Relief 2021 Fund” and part of the total appropriation of $10.4 billion to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The bill and 18 others comprising the state’s $49 billion budget for fiscal year 2023, beginning July 1, are awaiting approval by Republican Gov. Mike Parson.
Kara Corches, vice president of governmental affairs at the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said feedback from small businesses and local chambers identified childcare as the top challenge to be addressed during the 2022 legislative session. The comments supported a study published last November by the Missouri Chamber and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation estimating childcare issues cost the Missouri economy $1.35 billion annually, including $280 million in tax revenue. The report stated insufficient childcare was a problem before the pandemic started in 2020.
“We know during the pandemic a lot of childcare providers shut their doors for a variety of reasons,” Corches said. “I think we’re in what you could say is a childcare desert. We don’t have enough providers.”
Chamber research found that 28% of respondents reported they or someone in their household left a job, not taken a job or greatly changed jobs because of childcare problems during the previous 12 months.
“It’s not just people who have not reentered the workforce,” Corches said. “You have a lot of parents not taking jobs, promotions or new jobs because of childcare problems.”
DESE will implement the program through its Office of Childhood. Small businesses can submit proposals for up to $250,000 by Jan. 31, 2023.
“There will probably be some small businesses that form a co-op of sorts to partner with existing childcare providers in their community to help expand and, hopefully, secure more childcare slots for employees,” Corches said.
Once approved by DESE, funds can be used for staffing, leases, facility improvements or expansion, equipment and other expenses. Corches said a task force convened by Republican Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe would focus on providing better access to childcare, including assisting prospective providers with navigating regulations and procedures.
“I don’t see this issue going away in one year,” Corches said. “At the Missouri Chamber, childcare is something we are going to be focused on for the long term. It has a direct correlation with the availability of workers for our member businesses.” | https://www.thecentersquare.com/missouri/legislature-budgets-20-million-for-missouris-1-35-billion-childcare-problem/article_124702c4-ddff-11ec-adae-d7c1a2f4e1f0.html | 2022-05-27T22:31:46Z | https://www.thecentersquare.com/missouri/legislature-budgets-20-million-for-missouris-1-35-billion-childcare-problem/article_124702c4-ddff-11ec-adae-d7c1a2f4e1f0.html | true | 1 |
TUCSON, Ariz., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a $624 million U.S. Army contract to produce 1,300 Stinger® missiles. The contract includes provisions for engineering support, as well as the test equipment and support needed to address obsolescence, modernize key components, and accelerate production.

PHOTOS: World-famous zoo welcomes 4-week-old cheetah cub, Rozi
CINCINNATI (Gray News) - The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden announced the arrival of a singleton cheetah cub earlier this week.
Zoo officials said its cheetah team is hand-rearing the 4-week-old female cub and named her Rozi. The group said they selected the name as it has ties to the cub’s home.
“We liked Rozi because it means rose (or flower) in Swahili, one of the languages spoken in the cub’s native land and because she was born in the spring,” said Cat Ambassador Program lead trainer, Linda Castaneda. “It’s also a nod to the beautiful botanical garden that will be her backyard as she grows up here.”
Cheetah mothers do not receive enough stimulation from a single cub to produce an adequate milk supply. So, zoo officials said Rozi couldn’t be cared for by her mom at Wildlife Safari in Oregon.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Cheetah Species Survival Plan then identified the Cincinnati Zoo as the best place for the cub to be raised.
“We have raised all of the eight cheetahs that are currently in the Cat Ambassador Program,” Castaneda said. “The first few months are important for bonding and building trust, so we will be with her night and day. When she’s ready, she will join the other ambassadors and eventually participate in the Zoo’s Cheetah Encounter.”
In addition to spending time with her care team, zoo representatives said the group plans to pair Rozi with a puppy. Canine companionship provides play and socialization opportunities that humans cannot give the cub.
The Cincinnati Zoo said it’s currently in its summer season at the Cheetah Encounter and more information on visiting the world-famous wildlife park is available here.

(AP) – The suspects in the shootings at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school and a Buffalo, New York, supermarket were both just 18, authorities say, when they bought the weapons used in the attacks — too young to legally purchase alcohol or cigarettes, but old enough to arm themselves with assault weapons.
The Buffalo suspect was taken to a hospital last year for a mental health evaluation, but the incident didn’t trigger New York’s “red flag” law and he was still able to purchase a gun. The Texas suspect’s mother told ABC he gave her an “uneasy feeling” at times and could “be aggressive … If he really got mad.” But authorities say he had no known criminal or mental health history. The state has no such red flag law.
They are just the latest suspected U.S. mass shooters whose ability to obtain guns has raised concerns. In some cases shooters got guns legally under current firearms laws, or because of background check lapses or law enforcement’s failure to heed warnings of concerning behavior.
After the shootings, which together left 31 people dead, President Joe Biden renewed calls for stronger gun laws and questioned whether people as young as 18 should be allowed to purchase firearms. In the past, Biden has called for banning assault weapons and expanding background checks. Many Republicans oppose the measures.
A look at how suspects in mass shootings over a decade obtained guns, based on police accounts, court documents and contemporaneous reporting:
UVALDE, TEXAS: MAY 24, 2022. 21 DEAD.
Salvador Ramos legally purchased two guns in the days before the attack that killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School — an AR-style rifle from a federally licensed gun dealer in the Uvalde area on May 17 and a second rifle on May 20. Ramos made the purchases just days after turning 18, the minimum age under federal law for buying a rifle. He also purchased several hundred rounds of ammunition. At least one of the rifles was a DDM4, made by Daniel Defense and modeled after the U.S. military’s M4 carbine rifle, though without the M4′s ability to switch to fully automatic or fire a three-round burst. “The idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong,” Biden said hours after the shooting Tuesday. “What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?” Ramos was killed at the school by a Border Patrol team.
BUFFALO, NEW YORK: MAY 14, 2022. 10 DEAD.
Payton Gendron legally purchased the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S used in the attack on Tops Friendly Market from a federally licensed gun dealer near his home in Conklin, New York, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Buffalo. In a personal, online diary that surfaced after the attack, Gendron said he bought the AR-15-style weapon in January, bought a shotgun in December and received a rifle as a Christmas present from his dad when he was 16. Last year, Gendron was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation under a state mental health law after writing “murder-suicide” in response to a teacher’s question. New York is one of 19 states with red flag laws that allow courts to take guns from people posing immediate danger, but that didn’t happen with Gendron, who was 17 at the time. State police described his threat as “general in nature” and said it didn’t “specifically mention shooting or firearms.” After the shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order underscoring the need for red flag interventions and said she would seek to bar people under 21 from buying some semi-automatic weapons in the state. A similar law in California was ruled unconstitutional. Gendron is charged with murder.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA: MAY 26, 2021. 9 DEAD.
Samuel James Cassidy legally purchased the three 9 mm handguns he used to kill co-workers and then himself at a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority rail yard. He also stockpiled a dozen guns and 25,000 rounds of ammunition at his home, which he set ablaze before the shooting, and had high-capacity magazines that may have been illegal under California law, depending on when they were purchased. Santa Clara’s district attorney said authorities would’ve sought to take Cassidy’s weapons away under the state’s red flag law had U.S. Customs and Border Protection informed them of a “Significant Encounter” with Cassidy upon his return to California from a trip to the Philippines in 2016. Customs agents said in a report that Cassidy harbored “dark thoughts about harming” two specific people and had a memo book in which he expressed his hatred of the transit agency.
BOULDER, COLORADO: MARCH 22, 2021. 10 DEAD.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa bought a Ruger AR-556 pistol, a semi-automatic weapon with a capacity of up to 30 rounds, six days before the shooting at King Soopers grocery store, police said. Alissa was prone to sudden rage and was convicted of misdemeanor assault and sentenced to probation for attacking a high school classmate. Colorado has a universal background check law covering almost all gun sales, but that misdemeanor would not have prevented him from buying a weapon, experts said. Had it been a felony, federal law would’ve barred his purchase. Days before the shooting, a judge struck down city ordinances banning assault rifles and high-capacity magazines in Boulder, citing a state law prohibiting local gun bans. The NRA backed the lawsuit challenging the ordinances. A judge ruled last month that Alissa is mentally incompetent to stand trial.
ATLANTA: MARCH 16, 2021. 8 DEAD.
Robert Aaron Long purchased a 9 mm handgun just hours before going on a shooting rampage at three massage businesses in the Atlanta area, police said. A lawyer for the gun shop said it complies with federal background check laws. Georgia, like the majority of states, has no waiting period to obtain a gun. Long claimed to have a “sex addiction,” police said, and he spent time at an addiction recovery facility last year. Federal law bans guns for people who are “unlawful users of or addicted to a controlled substance” or who’ve been court-ordered to a mental health or substance abuse treatment facility, but doesn’t mention treatment for other compulsions as a barrier to ownership. Long is serving a sentence life without parole.
MIDLAND, TEXAS, AUG. 31, 2019. 7 DEAD.
Seth Aaron Ator purchased an AR-style rifle through a private sale, allowing him to evade a federal background check, and fired it indiscriminately from his car into passing vehicles and shopping plazas. He also hijacked a mail truck, killing the driver. Ator had been blocked from getting a gun in 2014 after his background check was flagged because a court determined he was mentally ill, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the matter. Private sales, which account for up to 40% of all gun sales according to some estimates, are not subject to a federal background check and private sellers aren’t required to determine if a buyer is eligible to own a gun. Ator was killed by police.
DAYTON, OHIO: AUG. 4, 2019. 9 DEAD.
Connor Betts’ classmates said he was suspended in high school for compiling a “hit list” and a “rape list,” but authorities said nothing in his background prevented him from purchasing the AR-15-style pistol used in the shooting at Ned Peppers Bar. Ohio law requires that sealed records of any juvenile crimes be expunged either after five years or once the offender turns 23. Betts, who was 24 at the time of the shooting, bought the gun online from a Texas dealer. It was then shipped to a Dayton-area firearms dealer, in accordance with federal law. Betts was killed by police.
EL PASO, TEXAS, AUG. 3, 2019. 23 DEAD.
Patrick Crusius bought an AK-47-style rifle and 1,000 rounds of hollow-point ammunition online 45 days before he walked into a Walmart store and opened fire, killing 23 people and injuring two dozen others, before confessing that he had been targeting Mexicans, according to prosecutors. A Crusius family lawyer said his mother raised concerns about the purchase in a call to police on June 27. Police said she asked if Crusius, who was 21 at the time, was old enough to buy a gun. Police said she was assured he was and that he’d qualify if he passed a background check. Police said she expressed concern only about his safety and said she’d seen no recent change in his behavior. Crusius posted a racist screed online just before the attack and appeared to target Mexicans. He’s charged with capital murder in Texas and federal hate crimes and firearms offenses.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: MAY 31, 2019. 12 DEAD.
Former Virginia Beach city employee DeWayne Craddock legally purchased six firearms in the three years before he opened fire on a municipal building, including the two .45-caliber pistols used in the attack. An independent review of the shooting, commissioned by the City of Virginia Beach, found that Craddock displayed no warning signs or “prohibited behaviors associated with a pathway to violence,” and that he had no known history of mental health treatment. Craddock was killed by police. _
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA: NOV. 7, 2018. 12 DEAD.
Ian David Long, a former Marine machine gunner who served in Afghanistan, used a legally purchased .45-caliber pistol with an extended magazine in the shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill. California tried to outlaw high-capacity magazines, but a federal judge reversed that after a pro-gun group sued. Months before the shooting, sheriff’s deputies called to Long’s home found him acting irrationally, but a mental health specialist didn’t feel he needed to be involuntarily committed. California has a red flag law, but there’s no indication authorities sought a court order to take away Long’s guns. Long killed himself.
PITTSBURGH: OCT. 27, 2018. 11 DEAD.
Robert Gregory Bowers had a carry license and legally owned the Colt AR-15 SP1 and three Glock .357 handguns police said he used to kill worshipers at Tree of Life synagogue. Bowers spent months posting rants against Jews on Gab, a social media site favored by right-wing extremists. He also posted photos of his “glock family.” Just before the attack, he posted a screed against a Jewish organization that resettles refugees, saying: “I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.” None of the rhetoric appeared to raise red flags. His case is pending. _
SANTA FE, TEXAS: MAY. 18, 2018. 10 DEAD.
Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old student, used a shotgun and a .38-caliber handgun that his father purchased legally and stored in a closet at their home, authorities said. It wasn’t clear if his father knew he’d taken the guns. Prior to the attack, Pagourtzis posted a photo on social media of a T-shirt with the phrase “Born to Kill” and had writings indicating he planned to attack his high school. A judge sent him to a mental health facility after ruling he was incompetent to stand trial.
PARKLAND, FLORIDA: FEB. 14, 2018. 17 DEAD.
Nikolas Cruz legally purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle in February 2017 from a licensed dealer a few miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, authorities said. He’d been treated at a mental health clinic but hadn’t been there in more than a year. Federal law prohibits gun purchases if a court declares a person a “mental defective” or commits that person to an institution, but not if the person seeks treatment voluntarily. Cruz was 19 at the time of the shooting. He pleaded guilty in October and is scheduled to be sentenced next month. _
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, TEXAS: NOV. 5, 2017. 25 DEAD.
Devin Patrick Kelley’s history of domestic abuse barred him from buying guns. He was able to because information about his crimes was never entered into a federal database used for background checks. The Air Force failed to follow rules requiring that it inform the FBI about his conduct. Kelley purchased four guns, including an AR-15-style rifle found at First Baptist Church, from licensed Texas and Colorado dealers over a four-year span. Kelley killed himself. _
LAS VEGAS: OCT. 1, 2017. 58 DEAD.
Stephen Paddock purchased 33 of the 49 weapons found in his hotel room and at his homes in the year before he opened fire on a country music festival. Paddock passed all background checks. His gradual accumulation of guns went undetected because federal law doesn’t require licensed gun dealers to alert the government about rifle purchases. Paddock killed himself. _
ORLANDO, FLORIDA: JUNE 12, 2016. 49 DEAD.
Omar Mateen purchased an AR-15-style rifle, a Sig Sauer MCX, and a handgun from a licensed dealer on separate days about a week before the Pulse nightclub attack. He passed a background check and had a security license that allowed him to be armed while on duty. The FBI investigated Mateen in 2013 and 2014 over co-workers’ concerns that he’d spoken about ties to terrorist groups. Neither inquiry led to charges. Even if he’d been placed on a terrorism watch list, Congress in 2015 rejected attempts to prevent people on the list from purchasing guns. Mateen was killed by police.
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA: DEC. 2, 2015. 14 DEAD.
Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, used weapons the FBI said his neighbor, Enrique Marquez, legally purchased from a licensed dealer in 2011 and 2012. Marquez pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to provide support to terrorists and made false statements to acquire a firearm. He told investigators Farook asked him to buy the weapons because he would draw less attention. Farook and Malik were killed by police.
ROSEBURG, OREGON: OCT. 1, 2015. 10 DEAD.
Christopher Harper-Mercer and his family members legally purchased the handguns and rifle used in the Umpqua Community College shooting from a licensed dealer. Investigators found six guns at the college and eight at an apartment. Neighbors said Harper-Mercer and his mother went target shooting together. Harper-Mercer killed himself after he was wounded by police.
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: JUNE 17, 2015. 9 DEAD.
A drug arrest should’ve prevented Dylann Roof from purchasing the pistol he used at Emanuel AME Church, but a record-keeping error and background check delay enabled the transaction to go through. The FBI said a background check examiner never saw the arrest report because the wrong arresting agency was listed in state criminal history records. After three days, the gun dealer was legally permitted to complete the transaction. He was convicted and is on federal death row.
WASHINGTON: SEPT. 16, 2013. 12 DEAD.
Aaron Alexis, a former reservist turned civilian contractor, passed background checks and legally purchased the shotgun used in the Washington Navy Yard shooting despite recent mental health treatment and a history of violent outbursts. He previously fired a gun in anger twice but wasn’t prosecuted in either case. Alexis was killed by police.
NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT: DEC. 14, 2012. 26 DEAD.
Adam Lanza used his mother’s weapons, including a .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle, in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Lanza’s mother, whom he fatally shot before going to the school, also purchased the ammunition. Lanza killed himself. _
AURORA, COLORADO: JULY 20, 2012. 12 DEAD.
James Holmes was receiving psychiatric treatment when he passed required federal background checks and legally purchased the weapons he used in his movie theater assault. As in the Parkland and Navy Yard cases, treatment alone did not prevent him from buying guns. He was convicted and sentenced to 12 life terms and thousands of years in prison. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/22-mass-shootings-374-dead-heres-where-the-guns-came-from/ | 2022-05-27T22:48:17Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/22-mass-shootings-374-dead-heres-where-the-guns-came-from/ | false | 91 |

Property passports should be introduced to help landlords prove their homes are compliant, decent and safe housing.
The call came from the National Residential Landlords Association.
The Government has proposed that the existing Decent Homes Standard should be extended to apply to the private rented sector, not just social housing, it said.
Passports would certify that property meet all legal standards. They would list improvements made and contain copies of all safety certificates. Tenants would be able to access the passport online.
Local authorities would be able to conduct spot checks to verify the passport is a true record of the state of the property.
NRLA said passports could bring together the 168 pieces of legislation already affecting the private rented sector. ‘What is needed is a standard that simplifies the measures that already exist and can be easily understood by tenants and landlords alike’, it said.
‘We want to make it easier for the vast majority of compliant landlords to prove to tenants what they already do, namely providing decent and safe housing. Those who do not would have no option other than to shape up or ship out’, said NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle.
‘This would be based on proving compliance with existing laws, not creating new regulations. With almost 170 laws affecting the private rented sector it can hardly be dubbed the wild west. What is needed is better understanding and enforcement of this existing legislation’. | https://landlordknowledge.co.uk/nrla-calls-for-property-passports/ | 2022-05-27T22:53:31Z | https://landlordknowledge.co.uk/nrla-calls-for-property-passports/ | true | 1 |
Valve Plans To Address Team Fortress 2's Bot Problem
Team Fortress 2 remains an extremely popular game with a large active player base, but the last couple of years has seen it overrun by aimbots. A passionate group of fans has long pleaded with developer Valve to address the issue, and the company has finally responded.
Yesterday, the official Team Fortress 2 Twitter account posted a message in response to #SaveTF2, a peaceful campaign of fans working to raise awareness about the game’s rampant bot problem. Basically, bot programs have made the game nearly unplayable for some since they’ll instantly kill players upon loading up into match-ups, giving the bots users an unfair advantage. TF2 players have become increasingly vocal about the problem, but Valve has remained largely silent on the issue (even going quiet on the game’s forums) until posting the following message:
TF2 community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things.
— Team Fortress 2 (@TeamFortress) May 26, 2022
Valve doesn’t elaborate on how it plans to tackle the problem or when to expect a solution but getting the notoriously quiet company to respond is an accomplishment and measure of relief for Team Fortress 2 fans. Hopefully, it results in a substantial response that comes sooner rather than later. | https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/05/27/valve-plans-to-address-team-fortress-2s-bot-problem | 2022-05-27T22:53:37Z | https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/05/27/valve-plans-to-address-team-fortress-2s-bot-problem | true | 1 |
Last week's challenge
Start with the phrase RANKED FIFTH. Change one letter to an N and you can rearrange the result to spell a five-letter word for a way to show gratitude and a six letter-word for someone you might show that gratitude toward. What are the words?
Answer: If you can change an F to an N, you can spell THANK, FRIEND
THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: COOK “OUT”
On-air questions: Well Mike, this weekend is the traditional start of summer, with Memorial Day commemorations, backyard barbeques, and boating. In honor of the many cookouts that will be happening this weekend, we’ll have a cookout of our own tonight. We’ll start with some food, and you cook “out” some letters to get the right answers.
1. Let’s start with a Mexican dish that consists of a stuffed tortilla, often just with cheese, then warmed on a stove, and end up with a title type of communication on an album including “Sure Shot” and “Sabotage.”
2. A Thanksgiving dessert standard whose essence has become an early fall harbinger becomes Angel Hernandez, Joe West or Lance Barksdale.
3. A stalked vegetable often paired with chicken in stir fry cooking becomes a toxic type of culture tied to Silicon Valley that according to one Medium article is “characterized by young, white men who spend a lot of time partying, being generally sexist, with high expectations of privilege and entitlement.”
4. A kielbasa, blood or bratwurst becomes reason, Aquarius or, as we discussed last week, Ultron.
5. A national fruit of multiple Asian countries and the base of a popular chutney becomes the first name of the director of “The Wedding Banquet,” “Brokeback Mountain,” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
Extra credit
1. A fruit often added to a brunch cocktail as a garnish becomes a fatal Shakespearian snake.
2. A stuffed, steamed masa dish often wrapped in a corn husk becomes a highland hat.
This week's challenge
Start with the name of a common food item seen at Memorial Day cookouts. Rearrange the letters and you can spell the name of another food item and a figure from Greek myth. What are the words?
ANSWERS
On-air questions
1. Quesadilla, “Ill” (“Ill Communication” by the Beastie Boys was released May 31, 1994)
2. Pumpkin pie, “ump” (Joe West umpired from 1976 through 2021 and now hosts a podcast called 5,460, a nod to his record-setting number of games umpired)
3. Broccoli, “bro”
4. Sausage, “age”
5. Mango, “Ang” (Ang Lee has been nominated for three Best Director Oscars)

Pokémon TCG Japan's Dark Phantasma Preview: Gold Trainers
The new Pokémon TCG set has arrived in Japan. Dark Phantasma was released on May 13th, 2022, and continues the focus on the Hisui region that debuted earlier this year in the Nintendo Switch game Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Like the previous three sets (Battle Region, Time Gazer, and Space Juggler), Dark Phantasma features cards with certain Hisuian species for the very first time. This Zoroark-themed set also continues the VSTAR mechanic introduced this year and sees more Radiant Pokémon cards (formerly thought to be called "Sparkling" cards) that depict species in their Shiny form with a unique reverse holo pattern. This set, along with the upcoming Japanese sets Lost Abyss and Incandescent Arcana, will likely be the basis of the next English-language set, Sword & Shield – Lost Origin, coming in Summer 2022. Today, let's wrap up our peeks at this series with the final cards to show: the Gold Trainer Items.
The two Gold Trainer Items in this set are Dark Patch and Calamity Case. That brings the total bounty of Secret Rares of Dark Phantasma to 28. Keep in mind that Full Arts count as Secret Rares in Japanese set, and Character Rares do as well due to Japan's lack of a Trainer Gallery subset. Here is the full breakdown of Dark Phantasma Secret Rares:
- Character Rares:
- Parasect (with Ginkgo Guild)
- Pikachu (with Akari)
- Gengar (with the Miss Fortune Sisters)
- Hisuian Arcanine (with Rei)
- Spiritomb (with Vessa)
- Snorlax (with Kamado)
- Full Art Pokémon-V:
- Hisuian Electrode
- Magnezone
- Enamorous
- Gallade
- Hisuian Goodra
- Hisuian Zoroark
- Full Art Trainer Supporters:
- Volo
- Iscan
- Arezu
- Miss Fortune Sisters
- Character Super Rares:
- Enamorous V (with Cogita)
- Gallade V (with Beni)
- Rainbow Rares:
- Magnezone VSTAR
- Hisuian Goodra VSTAR
- Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR
- Volo
- Iscan
- Arezu
- Miss Fortune Sisters
- Gold Secret Rares:
- Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR
- Dark Path
- Calamity Case
Japanese sets often give us early ideas of what the English-language sets may include, so be sure to keep an eye on our coverage.

The theory of Agile is simple. However, it takes experience, knowledge, and expertise to scale it successfully.
In this course, you will focus on leading change at an organizational level and scaling Agile appropriately. When studying Agile application success stories and theory, it's easy to think in terms of adopting "best practices." However, what's best for one industry, company, and most importantly, culture is not always the best for another. Not every aspect of the business is suitable for the application of Agile. Not every organization will benefit from adopting Agile, and not every leader will facilitate yet another change to success. In this course, you will be introduced to seven different change management theories and learn how to best use and apply them in practice. You will also learn how to scale Agile in your organization, what to look for when looking for best use cases, and what signs serve as clear indicators that Agile is not an appropriate philosophy to apply. | https://www.coursera.org/learn/agile-leadership-organization | 2022-05-27T23:10:38Z | https://www.coursera.org/learn/agile-leadership-organization | false | null |
Baby Formula Shortage Reveals Gaps in Regulation and Reporting
May 27, 2022
(New York Times) – As with Kru’s illness, no link was established between infections in the four recent sick babies and production at any Abbott Nutrition plant. But while most of the attention has been focused on fixing the dire supply shortfall, regulators are confronting deeper issues of safety that persist in the manufacturing of powdered infant formula. There is no comprehensive mechanism for detecting or investigating Cronobacter infections, and only one state, Minnesota, requires doctors and laboratories to report cases to the authorities.

On today’s Gold Diggers podcast, Michelle Magdziuk returned from vacation with some numbers about Trey Lance’s rookie year that may surprise you. But fortunately, there’s good reason for even the worst of them to be better going forward.
To put it bluntly, Lance stunk against the blitz last year. Lance had a 51.3 passer rating against the blitz in a limited sample size. Fourth worst in the league, just ahead of Jake Fromm, Mike Glennon, and Mike White. He sported a -29% CPOE (completion percentage over expectation) against the blitz in those situations.
Conversely, Lance was fantastic when he wasn’t under pressure. Lance’s passer rating was 120.0 from a clean pocket, which would have been second only to Aaron Rodgers if Lance had enough attempts to qualify. Moreover, Lance averaged 9.9 yards per attempt when he wasn’t under pressure and 9.5 air yards per attempt in that situation. This matches what our eyes have told us about Lance thus far - he looks to hit home runs over doubles and doubles over singles.
Additionally, Lance’s average time to throw was 3.23 seconds. He never averaged less than 3 seconds to throw in any of the games in which he played. This, combined with his performance against the blitz, points to a player that simply isn’t digesting what he’s seeing out there fast enough.
This isn’t surprising considering Lance’s age and the fact that he’s coming off of a one-game season at North Dakota State and going into the NFL. It’s not hard to see both of those things improving as he gets more experience under center in the NFL.
There was one more area where Lance needs to get better, but you’ll have to listen to the whole show in order to find out what it is. Or you could just skip to the 19:32 mark and get right to it—your choice. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/5/27/23144912/gold-diggers-where-trey-lance-needs-to-improve-this-season | 2022-05-27T23:12:14Z | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/5/27/23144912/gold-diggers-where-trey-lance-needs-to-improve-this-season | false | 1 |

NEET-PG aspirants call out NBE for 'poor administrative management'. Here's why
The students have alleged that basic facilities such as drinking water and functioning fans were not provided at the NEET exam centres
The application fee for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduation (NEET-PG) exam stood at Rs 4,250 for General and OBC category candidates and at Rs 3,250 for SC/ST category candidates. However, NEET-PG aspirants, who sat the test on May 21, are now demanding that the National Board of Examination (NBE), which conducts the exam, justify such an exorbitant fee.
Speaking to IANS, a NEET-PG aspirant, on the condition of anonymity, said that basic facilities such as fans and drinking water were not provided to the students despite conditions of a heatwave prevailing through many parts of the country. The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has now released a statement on this issue, calling out the NBE for "poor administrative management".
"Doctors at the Federation of All India Medical Association are getting complaints from students who took the NEET-PG 2022 examination held on May 21 regarding the poor administrative management at the examination centres all over the country. It is shameful for the National Board of Examination to charge such exorbitant fees for merely appearing in an examination and not provide even water to students at such high temperature," read the statement.
FAIMA's President, Dr Rohan Krishnan told IANS, "This is unacceptable because various platforms in India are conducting online medical exams at Rs 1,000-1,500 smoothly. This fee should be revised to minimal because students appear for this exam more than once." Krishnan also lashed out at the NBE for "lack of transparency". "Various organisations such as Delhi AIIMS, AIIMS Rishikesh, INICET, ESI releases an answer key the next day after exams and gives clear cut data of which questions were marked right or wrong by the candidate," he told IANS. | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/may/27/neet-pg-aspirants-call-out-nbe-for-poor-administrative-management-heres-why-29075.html | 2022-05-27T23:17:21Z | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/may/27/neet-pg-aspirants-call-out-nbe-for-poor-administrative-management-heres-why-29075.html | false | 1 |

Movie Reviews
Movie Review: TOP GUN: MAVERICK Starring Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly
Sequels are common. It’s, well, common sense. What do film studios like more than making good movies? Money. If a movie makes enough money, they want more money.
Good sequels are uncommon. It can be hard to re-capture that magic that made the first movie good. Actors move on and are unavailable, the writers struggle to write an appropriate follow-up, or the movie is either too similar or too dissimilar for the audience’s taste. Whatever the reason, sequels worthy of their predecessor can be tough to find.
Sequels as good as the original are very rare. You can probably count on two hands the list of sequels that people consider equal or superior to their predecessors: Aliens, Terminator 2, The Godfather Part II, and The Empire Strikes Back are a few. If a movie makes this list, it’s in pretty rarified air.
And now there’s Top Gun: Maverick.
Now wait a minute, hear me out. Listen. I’m a massive fan of the original Top Gun. I could probably quote the entire movie from memory. The dogfights, the writing, the 80s synth soundtrack. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s pretty damn entertaining and remains a personal favorite.
Having said that, Top Gun: Maverick is superior in just about every way. The 36-year wait was well worth it. Rather than try and reinvent the original film, Maverick builds off what made it successful and goes its own route. Taking over directorial duties from the late Tony Scott, Joseph Kosinski does a masterful job of paying homage to the original while keeping everything moving forward.
To that effect, there are essentially only two holdovers from the original film. Tom Cruise reprises his role as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the star of the first film who’s refused to be promoted so he can keep flying, and Val Kilmer – who’s dealt with health issues the past several years and took a greatly reduced role as (now) Admiral Tom Kazansky – the commander of the Pacific Fleet. Maverick, now a test pilot, is asked to return to Top Gun to train a team of 12 graduates for what is essentially a 2022 Death Star trench run.
It’s mentioned a few times that Kazansky’s friendship and loyalty are what’s kept Maverick in the Navy for so long, but the film does everything it can to show that Mitchell has grown as a person in the years since the original. Whereas Top Gun portrayed him as a selfish, cocky individual who has trouble taking orders, let alone leading, Maverick has several moments in which he’s more than willing to sacrifice his career or life for others. He’s certainly still cocky at times, but the film goes to great lengths to indicate he’s not the person he once was.
That’s not to say the film is completely separate from the original. The beginning credits are an homage to the credits of the original, retaining Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” while replacing the venerable F-14 with the more modern F/A-18 E and F Super Hornets. Several other key moments and bits of dialogue are referenced, while others such as the beach volleyball scene are reworked for a more modern setting.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of the 36-year delay was the cinematography of the action sequences. While the original film did make use of a lot of practical footage of Tomcats in flight, most of the cockpit scenes were done on a soundstage set against a backdrop. Maverick, on the other hand, was shot almost entirely inside Super Hornets in flight (Kosinski claims they shot over 800 hours of footage, which is more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined), and the film benefits greatly from it. The dogfight scenes are absolutely incredible, and Maverick does a top-notch job of putting the audience into the seat of the cockpit, to the point that you can practically feel it.
Fortunately, the film is more than just its action sequences. Kosinski and the writers are successful in portraying the personal relationships in the film as well. Kelly McGillis wasn’t asked to return for the film, so Jennifer Connelly steps in as love interest Penny Benjamin (yes, that Penny Benjamin), and their moments together seem more genuine than anything portrayed in the first film. Miles Teller is perfect as Bradley Bradshaw, the son of the late Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, Maverick’s RIO (Radar Instrument Officer) from the first film. But perhaps the most touching scenes are the few moments that Maverick and Iceman have together.
I could go on and on about the film, but I’ll simply implore you to go see it. I’ve already seen it twice and am likely going to see it a third time this weekend. It’s a near-perfect blend of tribute and progression, and it may be my favorite sequel of all time.

MICHELLE Keegan was almost knocked out when part of the set fell on her during Brassic filming.
The actress, 34, who plays Erin in the hit Sky show, was seen knocking on a door when part of the drain pipe crashed on to her head.
The epic blooper aired tonight as It’ll Be Alright on the Night returned to TV screens.
Ever the professional Michelle laughed off the blunder, saying: “To be fair it was my fault, I was whacking it.”
The star recently wrapped shooting the latest series of Brassic and after a short break she is now in Australia filming her latest project.
She’s flown 10,000 miles to Australia to film a new BBC drama from the team behind Netflix’s raunchy Sex Education.
The six-part series, Ten Pound Poms, follows a group of British emigrees as they leave dreary post-war Britain in 1956 to embark on a life-altering adventure on the other side of the world.
A friend of Michelle’s said: “Michelle has always had one big dream, which is appearing in a period drama and Ten Pound Poms will let her dip her toe in those past times.”
Danny Brocklehurst, Michelle’s boss on Sky Max’s Brassic and BBC One’s Ordinary Lies, is behind the show.
The show will expose Michelle to a whole new audience as Ten Pound Poms will air in Australia too.

But it will mean being away from husband Mark Wright for months.
Last month he revealed that he had turned down a job presenting a huge American dating show because he wanted to be at home with Michelle.
He said: “I would never be able to live away again. I would certainly go back there for a period of time to do a job, but not full time. I don’t like missing my friends and family.”
The couple, who have just celebrated seven years of marriage, have previously made a long distance romance work and are due to move into their dream home any day now.

NEW YORK, May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Embark Technology, Inc. f/k/a Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II (“Embark” or the “Company”) ( EMBK; EMBKW) (: NGAB.U; NGAB; NGAB WS) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and docketed under 22-cv-02090, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Embark securities between January 12, 2021 and January 5, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Embark securities during the Class Period, you have until May 31, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
Embark develops self-driving software solutions for the trucking industry in the U.S. The Company was originally a special purpose acquisition company, also called a blank-check company, which is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, other entity, or person.
On November 10, 2021, the Company consummated a merger transaction with Embark Trucks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Embark”), whereby, among other things, the Company changed its name from “Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp. II” to “Embark Technology, Inc.” (the “Business Combination”).
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had performed inadequate due diligence into Legacy Embark; (ii) Legacy Embark and the Company following the Business Combination held no patents and an insignificant amount of test trucks; (iii) accordingly, the Company had overstated its operational and technological capabilities; (iv) as a result of all the foregoing, the Company had overstated the business and financial prospects of the Company post-Business Combination; and (v) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On January 6, 2022, The Bear Cave published a short report entitled “Problems at Embark Technology (EMBK, Financial)” (the “Bear Cave Report”). The Bear Cave Report alleged, among other issues, “that Embark appears to lack true economic substance” and that its “current evaluation appears to be based on puffery rather than actual substance”, noting that “[t]he company holds no patents, has only a dozen or so test trucks, and may be more bark than bite.”
On this news, Embark’s stock price fell $1.37 per share, or 16.75%, to close at $6.81 per share on January 6, 2022.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomlaw.com

The city of Bath has some of the most expensive streets with royal connections in the South West. Regal addresses command considerably more than the average house price, according to new research by property firm, Savills, ahead of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this month.
Bath features three times in the top 10 most expensive streets with royal connections in the south west. Top of the list is Queen Square in Bath – where homes command an average sale price of £871,660. This is 182 per cent more than the £309,358 average house price for the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area.
The Royal Crescent is the third most expensive address on the list, with an average sale price of £638,363 – more than double - 106 per cent - higher than the local average. Attracting an average sale price of £418,500, Queens Parade features at number eight – representing a price premium of 35 per cent.

Other top-ranking royal streets are located in Bristol, Cheltenham, South Hams, Bournemouth, Swindon and Taunton. Alistair Heather, head of Savills Bath said: "As a spa city, Bath enjoys a longstanding relationship with royalty, with a number of members of the royal family having lived or spent time here over the centuries.
" For example, we are currently selling a property on Sydney Place that was formerly the ballroom of Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III." Bath’s royal connections are reflected in the many regal place names across the city, including Royal Victoria Park, which was opened by Princess Victoria in 1830, seven years before her ascension to the throne and was the first park in the UK to bear her name.
Several of the city’s most prestigious residential addresses are regally named. In the case of Royal Crescent, the ‘Royal’ was only added at the end of the eighteenth century after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, visited and later lived there.
Not only is Queen Square the highest value royal address in the south west but is the eighth highest nationally, outside of London, and the only south west address to feature in the top 15. Savills analysis of regal sounding street, road and avenue addresses across the country found that those which include the word ‘Royal’ demand the highest price tag - £425,345- followed by those which include the word ‘Queen’ at £350,288 and ‘Tudor’ at £347,687.
Stephanie Thomson, research analyst at Savills said: ‘Our analysis shows that a home on a royal-related street could be a wise investment for buyers, with the top ten south west addresses that include words of royal significance demanding an average premium of 105 per cent – more than double the average for their local area.”

Which folding bike is best?
There’s nothing like riding a bike on a sunny day, but if you want to switch up the scenery and head out to a faraway mountain trail or lakeside path, you might not be able to fit your bike inside your car.
A folding bike can be excellent for commuting to work or storing in your car trunk. If you want a high-quality folding bike, the Schwinn Loop Adult Folding Bike has a durable build, delivers a smooth ride and folds quickly without tools for easy storage.
What to know before you buy a folding bike
Advantages of owning a folding bike
Folding bikes don’t offer the same performance as road or mountain bikes, but owning one has many advantages. A folding bike is easy to take on the train or bus if you commute to work, and storage is easy once you get there. If you want to travel to a location outside your neighborhood to ride your bike, you can easily fold it and toss it in the trunk.
They’re also great if you live in a small space such as an apartment or don’t want your bike to take up too much room in your home or storage area.
Size, weight and wheel size
The size and weight of a folding bike should depend on the rider’s height. Bikes with 16- to 20-inch wheels are ideal for most, but anything over 22 inches is better suited for taller riders. It would help to consider the frame weight and compactness when folded up. If the frame is too heavy for you or the bike retains an awkward or large shape when folded, it wouldn’t be very convenient for traveling on a bus or train.
Frame material
Most folding bikes have frames made of sturdy aluminum. It’s an affordable metal that’s durable and lightweight, but some bikes have steel frames. Steel frames are more rigid than aluminum frames, but they’re also heavier, making them ideal for riding on rugged surfaces.
What to look for in a quality folding bike
Multiple speeds and gear-shifting
If you plan on riding your bike on uneven surfaces or roads with lots of hills, it’s a good idea to get a bike with multiple speeds. Shifting gears to different speeds will make it easier to pedal and control your velocity if you’re riding uphill or downhill. Most folding bikes don’t offer as many speed options as traditional bikes, but the best ones offer up to six.
Suspension
Having a suspension system isn’t crucial if you do most of your riding on smooth surfaces, but you’re going to want shock absorbers at both ends for riding on rockier trails. Bikes with large wheels provide a smoother ride than bikes with smaller ones, but going over bumps can be uncomfortable and painful without a suspension system.
Color
Folding bikes are usually available in several frame colors. The most common are black and silver, but you can get one in a color that suits your style and preference. Some bikes also have flashy designs or patterns on the frame.
How much you can expect to spend on a folding bike
You can find a high-quality folding bike for $200-$400, but if you want something more durable with more features, you can expect to pay up to $500.
Folding bike FAQ
Do folding bikes require assembly?
A. Most folding bikes come pre-assembled and ready to go out of the box, but some come 85%-90% assembled. It’s usually straightforward, but some sporting goods stores offer additional services to complete the assembly if you don’t want to do it.
Do folding bikes stay folded on their own?
A. Folding bikes do not stay in their folded position on their own, so they can quickly unfold if you’re not careful. Some bikes come with straps for holding them together, but you can also use a bungee cord if your bike doesn’t come with any.

Source: Biti’s clerk application dismissed | The Herald
Prosper Dembedza Court Correspondent
Harare magistrate Mrs Munashe Chibanda has dismissed an application for exception filed by a legal clerk with Tendai Biti Law Chambers, who is facing two fresh counts of fraud.
Constantine Chaza had applied for exception arguing that the charges outlined by the State did not constitute an offence.
In dismissing the application Mrs Chibanda said Chaza’s application was marred by issues that could be tried.
The matter was postponed to June 2 for trial commencement.
On the first count, it is alleged that on February 26, 2020 at the High Court in Harare, Chaza tendered a fake special power of attorney from Eliot Rogers in the matter in which the complainant, Tendai Mashamhanda, was the other party. The court acted upon the misrepresentation and allowed Chaza to file the papers.
The matter came to light when Mashamhanda managed to contact Rogers in the United Kingdom who denied giving Chaza any power of attorney and the matter was reported to the police.
The special power of attorney tendered by Chaza was checked out by the CID Forensic Laboratory for analysis together with other documents that Eliot Rogers signed and it was allegedly discovered that the documents were not signed by the same person.
On the second count, it is alleged that on October 18 2021 at the High Court in Harare, Chaza again allegedly tendered a fake special power of attorney from Rogers in another case.
It is alleged that the matter came to light when the complainant, Piwayi Chiutsi, noted that the signature on the special power of attorney dated September 27 2015 was different from the signature by Rogers on an affidavit done on October 7 2014 and a report was made to the police,
Investigations revealed that the two signatures were not authored by the same person. Chaza is on $5 000 bail on another matter involving perjury charges after allegedly filing a false statement under oath at the High Court.

The United States should make it easier to confine "deranged" people and eliminate gun-free school zones after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers this week at a Texas school, former president Donald Trump says.
"Clearly, we need to make it far easier to confine the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions," Trump said in a speech at a convention in Houston of the National Rifle Association, a gun rights advocacy group.
Tuesday's fatal shooting of 19 pupils and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old gunman equipped with an AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle again focused attention on the NRA, a major donor to Congress members, mostly Republicans.
On suggestions to improve the security of schools, Trump said every school should have a single point of entry, strong fencing and metal detectors, adding there should also be a police official or armed guard at all times in every school.
"This is not a matter of money. This is a matter of will. If the United States has $40 billion to send to Ukraine, we can do this," he said, referring to Washington's financial and military support for Ukraine after Russia's invasion in February.
The former president also called for eliminating gun-free school zones, adding such zones leave victims with no means to defend themselves in case of an attack by an armed person.
"As the age-old saying goes, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," Trump said.
"The existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law-abiding citizens."
Video images of the main auditorium in Houston, which holds about 3600 people, showed it to be about half-full as Trump took the stage on Friday afternoon. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/trump-urges-end-to-gun-free-school-zones-c-6965111 | 2022-05-27T23:37:01Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/trump-urges-end-to-gun-free-school-zones-c-6965111 | true | 8 |
Government plane carrying Ukrainian refugees set to arrive in Montreal this weekend
A federal government chartered plane carrying Ukrainian refugees is expected to arrive in Montreal on Sunday as the community is ready with open arms.
Maria Samoilenko has been in Montreal for only three days and already wants to help others like her.
"Now, we're helping here to give back some help we received and that's really important," Samoilenko said.
It's small comfort for the Ukrainian refugee. She left her career and family behind like so many others.
Hoping to make starting a new life a little easier for newly-arrived refugees, Igor Ezril put out a call for donations.
Everything from household goods and clothing to children's toys filled the vacant commercial space of his Côte-des-Neiges building.
"In the beginning, the idea was to send it to Ukraine. But when we started to see a lot of people coming — most were women with kids — we decided to open a help centre here in Montreal," Ezril said.
It provides more than the necessities to those fleeing the war. Ezril also houses those in need and gives them the tools to start a new life.
"We are helping to find apartments, we're helping to find the job and helping to fill out the papers for medical, social security number," Ezril said.
For Samoilenko, it's a major relief.
"There are people who help you to do things, which may seem very simple and logic for you, but which are very strange for us," she said. "Like, we had no idea what social insurance numbers and why to get it. So that's like they do everything. And psychological support is important because people come from different places in Ukraine, sometimes they come with actually nothing."
Canada has welcomed more than 30,000 Ukrainian refugees since the beginning of the year. Now, the federal government is chartering flights from Europe to help bring some of the 112,000 successful visa applicants to Canada.
One flight arrived Monday in Winnipeg and another is expected in Montreal this weekend, with a third planned for Halifax next week.
It's a start for the Ukrainian Canadian community as they want more flights to evacuate those still in harm's way.
"The war is ongoing in Ukraine. The shelling of innocent civilians continues," said Michael Shwec, president of the Quebec chapter of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
For those fortunate to escape and who have lost so much, they are expressing immense gratitude.
"I would like to say thank you to people here because everyone we met here was really nice people," Samoilenko said. "Thanks to your country." | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/government-plane-carrying-ukrainian-refugees-set-to-arrive-in-montreal-this-weekend-1.17869445 | 2022-05-27T23:40:00Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/government-plane-carrying-ukrainian-refugees-set-to-arrive-in-montreal-this-weekend-1.17869445 | false | 1 |
Montreal police officer Sanjay Vig targeted again while on duty after BB gun attack
The Montreal police officer at the centre of the wrongful arrest of Mamadi Camara in January 2021 was targeted in a BB gun attack Thursday while on duty doing a speed enforcement blitz.
Two projectiles smashed the rear window of the police cruiser belonging to officer Sanjay Vig while he was operating a radar gun, according to information confirmed by Noovo Info. The shooting happened around 3:25 p.m. near the intersection of Stirling Avenue and Saint-Patrick Street in the Montreal borough of LaSalle.
The officer, who was outside of his vehicle at the time of the incident, was not injured. Police continue to investigate as they look for a suspect.
Vig made headlines in 2021 when he pulled over Camara, a PhD student at Montreal's Polytechnique engineering university, during a traffic stop and wrongfully accused him of an attempted murder on the officer's life. Camara spent a week in jail until he was finally cleared in a case of mistaken identity.
It wasn't until March 2021 until a man alleged to be the real suspect was arrested and charged with attempted murder, intentionally discharging a prohibited firearm, disarming a peace officer, aggravated assault on a peace officer and theft of a vehicle.
Camara sued the Montreal police service for $1.2 million after the ordeal and reached an undisclosed settlement last February. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/montreal-police-officer-sanjay-vig-targeted-again-while-on-duty-after-bb-gun-attack-1.17870128 | 2022-05-27T23:40:45Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/montreal-police-officer-sanjay-vig-targeted-again-while-on-duty-after-bb-gun-attack-1.17870128 | false | 1 |
Expect an array of pasta, desserts, and mocktails at the newly-opened Tashi in Hyderabad
Located on the bustling lanes of Jubilee Hills, the cafe gives a chic summer vibe
Looks like Pan Asian and Italian are the flavours of this season, with another café offering the same popping up in the city. Located on the bustling lanes of Jubilee Hills, Tashi, a vegetarian space offers the best of Italian cuisine with a few noteworthy Chinese, Thai and Pan Asian dishes. We visited this space on a weekday for lunch and were impressed by its white-printed walls and green-coloured décor that gave us a summer vibe. The floral paintings on the corner walls of the café were complemented by the gold lights and chandeliers. They also had chairs in yellow and peach shades, which gave the place a cosy and chic look. After exploring the café, we began with our sampling session.
First to arrive was the Hulatang — a Chinese breakfast soup, which was made with vegetables like carrots. Bell peppers and spices like white pepper, Szechuan peppercorns, and chilli oil. The strong peppery notes combined with garlic pieces made this delicious all the way. We picked the chef ’s signature ATS Paneer for appetisers. The paneer cubes were cooked in a flavourful ground-nut gravy. It also came with bell peppers and onion slices that added some crunch to the starter.
As we waited for our main course, we tried the café’s signature mocktails. The Basil Black made with grape juice blended with smoked basil leaves gave a smokey touch to the otherwise sweet drink. We also sipped on their berry-based drink, The Black Widow Smash. A 12-yearold fermented berry is added to berry juice. Sweet, sour, and bitter, this one was quite refreshing.
A plate of Aglio-e-Olio was the next to arrive. The pasta cooked with red chilly flakes, olive oil, and garlic chunks, had subtle and delicate flavour notes. Brownie points to the garlic bread, which was soft, buttery, and fresh. Next up we opted for the Tibetan Thukpa. This traditional Nepalese dish came with freshly made noodles, cabbage, and carrots. The broth was prepared with pepper, sliced chillies, and garlic bits. If you are looking for something filling, then you must pick this.
Finally, we tried their Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake. The cake was beautifully seated on powdered biscuits and topped with the lotus biscoff spread. Sinfully delicious we emptied the tub in a jiffy!
Rs 800 for two. At Jubilee Hills.

Quebec reports drop in intensive care COVID-19 cases, 10 more deaths
Quebec on Friday posted another drop in COVID-19 hospitalizations and especially in ICU cases, where a decrease of seven means that fewer than 40 people are now in intensive care for the virus.
The province also reported 10 more deaths and a slight uptick in health-worker absences, compared to Thursday.
Overall, in the province's hospitals, there are 27 fewer people getting COVID-19 treatment, for at total of 1,288.
Thirty-six people remain in ICU wards after three new admissions and 10 discharges. However, when the province tallies discharges, the number can also include deaths.
The number of health workers absent for COVID-related reasons crept back over 4,000 to 4,039.
The number of positive PCR tests dropped from Thursday's count to 590, and there were an additional 162 at-home positive results self-reported.
The positivity rate among PCR tests, a more reliable indicator of how much of the virus is circulating, has stayed relatively steady over the last two weeks and is currently at 6.6 per cent, which is just over the five-per-cent threshold the province used to use as an alarm threshold.
As on Thursday, the province recorded nearly 10,000 new vaccine doses, but three-quarters of them were fourth doses given to people over 60.
Third-dose coverage is still very low among younger demographics, and a third of the province's children aged five to 11 still have no COVID-19 vaccine at all.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than $1.5 million in cocaine at the World Trade Bridge in separate enforcement actions.
“These seizures demonstrates how the officers’ determination, utilization of technology and canines led to the discovery of these hard narcotics,” said Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “I commend the officers for their keen observational skills and interviewing techniques which played a key role in both discoveries.”
The first case occurred on May 25, when a 2007 Volvo tractor trailer manifesting a shipment of pead pipe was referred for K-9 and X-ray inspections. The inspections resulted in the seizure of 32 packages containing 119.5 pounds of cocaine within the tires of the trailer, according to federal authorities.
CBP officers said the contraband had an estimated street value of $921,400.
The second seizure occurred on May 26, when a 2001 Sterling tractor-trailer manifesting a shipment of wood charcoal was referred to secondary inspection. Following K-9 and X-ray inspections, CBP officers discovered 32 packages containing 80.33 pounds of cocaine within the tires of the trailer valued at about $619,480.
CBP said the combined estimated street value was $1,540,880.

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures Announced for Disney+
A new Star Wars animated series is on the way. On Friday, during Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, Lucasfilm officially announced Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, a new animated series that will be set during the newly-explored High Republic era, which takes place centuries before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. According to Lucasfilm, the series will follow a group of Younglings as they study the ways of the Force and become Jedi, and learn compassion, self-discipline, teamwork, patience, and friendship. While an exact release date has yet to be announced, we know that it will debut in the spring of 2023 on both Disney+ and the Disney Junior cable block.

— Star Wars (@starwars) May 27, 2022
The first full-length animated Star Wars series created for preschoolers, early grade schoolers, and their families, these original stories will follow Younglings as they are swept off into adventures, and start their journeys on the path to becoming Jedi Knights, learning valuable skills for our galaxy and the galaxy far, far away. The Jedi-in-training will tackle topics of compassion, self-discipline, teamwork, patience, and friendship.
While announcing the series live at Star Wars Celebration, the creative team revealed that Yoda — whose early years have begun to be chronicled across the High Republic era material — will be making an appearance in the series.
"This show centers on a group of Younglings who, their entire life, they've grown up in the Jedi temple on Coruscant," executive producer and showrunner Michael Olson revealed during the Celebration announcement. "And Master Yoda realizes that it's time for them to get some real life experience out in the field, putting their Jedi lessons into practice. So he sends them into different outpost temples in the Outer Rim, and together, they go on adventures saving the day and helping other people."
This is the second Star Wars television series to be set during the High Republic era, with the upcoming Disney+ drama series Star Wars: The Acolyte billed as a thriller set in the final days of that era.

Disney is no stranger to reanimating the dead and trying to give a decades-old property new life. Enter “Chip N’ Dale: Rescue Rangers,” a new live action-animated hybrid streaming on Disney+. This movie focuses on the chipmunk-led animated series from the early 1990s.
The cartoon featured the title heroes teaming up with new friends and becoming do-gooders in the larger New York metropolitan area. Equal parts secret agent team and detective agency, the crew would fight the evil forces of characters like Fat Cat and Professor Nimnull.
While this new movie does have a detective story at its heart, it places Chip and Dale into the real world as actors who headlined the cartoon series. “Rescue Rangers” (2022) is a spiritual cousin to “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
The story is mostly entertaining if a bit cliché; kids are certainly going to enjoy it. But this movie feels like it falls into the same vein as last year’s “Space Jam“ sequel. There are a lot of name drops and references to other more popular properties, some of which aren’t owned by Disney.
Case in point: Dale is seen at a fan convention talking to the “ugly” Sonic the Hedgehog that was originally promoted before Sonic had his first cinematic outing two years ago.
The casting feels uninspired. John Mulaney voices Chip and Andy Samberg voices Dale. They have good chemistry, Mulaney’s voice feels like listening to the audio equivalent of sandpaper. Samberg of course essentially plays every character he’s ever played for live action or animation.
The question is: who was this movie made for? The title characters use words like “crap“ and “damn” with some regularity in a PG-rated movie and there is one visual reference at the beginning to the Chippendale dancers; at no point should kids programming contain an image of half naked men. Given recent news accounts regarding Hollywood’s use of children, that just seems like really bad form.
However, the most concerning reference connects back to Disney’s history with its own child actors going back to the studio’s earliest productions.
Peter Pan — or “Sweet Pete” as they call him — is the villain. He is kidnapping other animated characters, tweaking their animation, and forcing them to make bootleg movies to sell in international markets. His motivation is anger over Disney firing him because “the boy who never grows up” grew up.
This reference doesn’t seem bad on the surface, however if you know your history then you’ll understand that this is a reference to what happened to Bobby Driscoll, the young child star who voiced Peter Pan in the original animated film.
Disney fired him as he aged out rather than trying to re-incorporate him into a film project better suited for an adolescent child actor. Driscoll died penniless in an abandoned tenement at the age of thirty-one. That is some harsh history and it’s curious which Disney executive signed off knowing the script contained this “joke.”
All in all, the movie isn’t terrible but there are some questionable bits of content that should give parents pause before kids watch it. | https://hanfordsentinel.com/entertainment/who-is-the-chip-n-dale-reboot-for-filmaniacs/article_7d77315c-5c63-564a-bd63-2d350fa5bc7b.html | 2022-05-27T23:52:05Z | https://hanfordsentinel.com/entertainment/who-is-the-chip-n-dale-reboot-for-filmaniacs/article_7d77315c-5c63-564a-bd63-2d350fa5bc7b.html | false | 4 |
PARIS (AP) — The Latest on the French Open (all times local):
11:15 p.m.
Carlos Alcaraz displayed deft drop shots and plenty of other skillful strokes to become the youngest man in the French Open’s fourth round since Novak Djokovic in 2006.
The 19-year-old Alcaraz advanced by beating 21-year-old American Sebastian Korda 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 under the lights at Court Philippe Chatrier on Friday night.
This outcome reversed the result of a meeting between the two at the Monte Carlo Open last month, which Korda won to account for Alcaraz’s lone loss on red clay in 20 matches in 2022.
It also was a much smoother ride for Alcaraz than in the second round at Roland Garros on Wednesday. In that one, needed to save a match point before coming back to win in five sets against fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Alcaraz improved to 31-3 overall this year with a tour-leading four titles.
The tournament’s No. 6 seed will meet No. 21 Karen Khachanov on Sunday for a berth in the quarterfinals.
The 27th-seeded Korda’s father, Petr, was the runner-up at the 1992 French Open.
___
11:05 p.m.
Karen Khachanov has become the first man at this year’s French Open to eliminate an opponent seeded in the top 12, beating No. 10 Cameron Norrie 6-2, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 in the third round.
The 21st-seeded Khachanov improved to 5-0 in third-round matches at Roland Garros, although he only has reached the quarterfinals in Paris once, in 2019.
Norrie, meanwhile, has lost all five times he has made it to the third round at any Grand Slam tournament.
This was the first time since 2009 that all of the top 12 men’s seeds were in the third round at the French Open.
___
9:05 p.m.
Top-ranked Novak Djokovic said he’s reached out to Boris Becker’s family to offer support after the tennis great was sentenced to prison for bankruptcy offenses.
Becker was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding assets after he was declared bankrupt.
Djokovic said after his third-round win at the French Open that he’s contacted Becker’s son, Noah, “asking if there is something that I could do, help, you know, just being there for his family members, you know, because I can’t get to him.”
The 54-year-old Becker coached Djokovic for three years from December 2013.
The three-time Wimbledon champion must serve at least 15 months before being eligible for release.
“It’s only been less than a month. I just hope that he will stay healthy and strong,” said Djokovic, who earlier said he’s “ heartbroken ” for the German.
___
7:20 p.m.
Former U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens beat French teenager Diane Parry 6-2, 6-3 to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros.
The American was the runner-up in 2018 after having won the title at Flushing Meadows the year before.
Stephens will play No. 23 Jil Teichmann, who advanced by defeating two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5).
Teichmann amassed 53 winners and 58 unforced errors against the 15th-seeded Azarenka.
___
6:05 p.m.
No. 5 Rafael Nadal moved into the fourth round at Roland Garros by beating Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
The 13-time champion said it was the best of his three wins this week, at least up until Van de Zandschulp crept back into the third set. Nadal in his on-court interview said he was disappointed to miss a break point that would have put him up 5-0.
Nadal’s 301st win at Grand Slams means he will face ninth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime for a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Canadian advanced by beating Filip Krajinovic 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2), 7-5.
___
5:40 p.m.
A French Open player has been fined $10,000 by the tournament after she threw her racket and it bounced off the clay and into the stands during a match.
Irina-Camelia Begu, a 31-year-old Romanian who is ranked 63rd, was cited for unsportsmanlike conduct during the third set of her victory against 30th-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round at Court 13.
The match was Thursday. The fine was announced Friday.
After dropping a point, Begu walked to the sideline and chucked her racket, which flew behind chair umpire Anis Ressaissi’s seat, landing among spectators sitting courtside. There were gasps from fans and a child could be heard crying.
Tournament referee Remy Azemar said the equipment “brushed a young spectator,” who “turned out to be OK.”
___
5:10 p.m.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic recorded another straight-set victory and will face Diego Schwartzman for a spot in the quarterfinals at the French Open.
The top-ranked Djokovic beat Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 at Court Philippe Chatrier in 1 hour, 44 minutes — the quickest of his three wins.
Schwartzman’s 0-6 record against Djokovic includes a five-setter in the third round at the 2017 French Open. The Argentine is seeded 15th.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t lost in the third round at Roland Garros since 2009.
___
3:45 p.m.
Aliaksandra Sasnovich eliminated a Grand Slam champion for the second straight match to reach the fourth round at the French Open.
The 47th-ranked Belarusian beat three-time major champion Angelique Kerber 6-4, 7-6 (5) at Court Simonne Mathieu.
Sasnovich had defeated reigning U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu in the second round.
She next faces Italian player Martina Trevisan, whose best result at a Grand Slam was the quarterfinals at Roland Garros two years ago.
___
3:20 p.m.
Coco Gauff reached the fourth round at the French Open by beating Kaia Kanepi.
The 18-year-old Gauff, the youngest remaining woman in the draw, defeated the 36-year-old Kanepi, the oldest remaining woman, 6-3, 6-4.
The young American is trying to improve on her quarterfinal run at Roland Garros a year ago.
Gauff had six aces — and five double-faults — while her Estonian opponent made 29 unforced errors. The teenager has not dropped a set in her first three matches.
Gauff next faces No. 31 Elise Mertens.
___
3 p.m.
U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez has reached the fourth round at the French Open for the first time.
The 19-year-old Canadian beat Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 at Court Philippe Chatrier.
The 17th-seeded Fernandez broke Bencic in the 11th game of the deciding set and served out the match. She had saved two set points in the opener.
Fernandez next faces 20-year-old Amanda Anisimova, who reached the Roland Garros semifinals in 2019.
The best result by a Canadian woman at the French Open was Eugenie Bouchard making the semifinals in 2014.
___
1:35 p.m.
Amanda Anisimova moved into the fourth round of the French Open when Karolina Muchova stopped playing after hurting her right ankle.
The 27th-seeded Anisimova, an American who reached the Roland Garros semifinals at the age of 17 in 2019, was leading 6-7 (7), 6-2, 3-0 when Muchova walked to the net to concede the match.
Muchova twisted her right foot while serving at 2-all in the second set. She went to the sideline during that game to get checked on by a doctor and a trainer, who taped up the ankle.
When play resumed after the medical timeout, Muchova dropped seven games in a row before retiring from the match.
Anisimova eliminated four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in the first round.
___
1:30 p.m.
Diego Schwartzman advanced to the fourth round of the French Open and a potential showdown with defending champion Novak Djokovic.
The 2020 Roland Garros semifinalist beat Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 at Court Simonne Mathieu. The 18th-seeded Bulgarian made 59 unforced errors.
The 15th-seeded Schwartzman will next face either Djokovic or Aljaz Bedene. Schwartzman is 0-6 against Djokovic.
___
11 a.m.
The big favorites in the men’s draw have third-round matches on Day 6 at the French Open.
Novak Djokovic continues his title defense at Court Philippe Chatrier against Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia.
Fifth-seeded Rafael Nadal faces Botic van de Zandschulp.
In the nightcap on center court, sixth-seeded Carlos Alcaraz plays Sebastian Korda in what could be a tricky matchup for the 19-year-old Spaniard.
Alcaraz’s only loss in 19 matches on clay this season was to Korda. The 21-year-old American beat Alcaraz last month in Monte Carlo.
In the women’s draw, the youngest player remaining is 18-year-old Coco Gauff and she’ll face the oldest in 36-year-old Kaia Kanepi.
U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez plays Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic of Switzerland.

A day after he was sworn in as Delhi’s new Lieutenant Governor, Vinai Kumar Saxena (64) Friday inspected several roads and directed officials to ensure uniformity in horticulture plantations across the city. Pointing to the lack of homogeneity in infrastructure, he told officials concerned to start work on rectifying the issues and said results should be visible in 15 days.
Accompanied by senior officers in charge of horticulture from urban local bodies and departments, Saxena inspected the stretch between Raj Niwas and Connaught Place as well as other roads including Vikas Bhawan 2, Monastery-ISBT, the overbridge connecting Geeta Colony, ITO near Feroz Shah Kotla Fort and Sikandra Road.
He pointed to the haphazard growth of plants, dried-up vegetation, garbage, and mounds of malba from drain desilting, construction/repairs of central verges and footpaths dumped on the road. Officials were directed to prune plants and trees, especially those covering streetlights and creating dark spots, remove malba and garbage from roads, and repair broken pavements.
Earlier in the day, he met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and discussed development of the national capital.
Best of Express Premium
Following their first meeting, Saxena tweeted, “Hon’ble CM Arvind Kejriwal ji called on (me) today. We discussed various issues pertaining to the development of Delhi and the welfare of its people.” Kejriwal responded: “It was a pleasure to meet you, sir. I look forward to working with you for the welfare of Delhi.”

Gerhard Struber acknowledged the “big rivalry” his New York Red Bulls have with D.C. United ahead of Saturday’s clash at Red Bull Arena.
The Red Bulls sit fifth in the Eastern Conference and are just four points off the summit, but have not won in four MLS games. The hosts have also not tasted victory on home soil in a league match since October, but Struber believes his side can build on their U.S. Open Cup win over Charlotte FC on Thursday.
“It’s a big rivalry for the clubs, on games for the two clubs and for us I think it’s huge, with the confidence from the last game,” Struber said. “We have the right result and we are in the quarterfinal of the U.S. Open Cup.
“We showed our identity and in some moments, players in the last few months who were struggling but we could see their big quality recently, it shows me a very good picture. This is helpful for the DC game, with players with high confidence. We have a really good feeling and the mood in the camp is good, this is a special dressing room, a special feeling.”
The Black and Red are three games without a win after a 2-2 draw with Toronto FC, leaving them 11th in the East, and Chad Ashton knows his side needs to improve.
“We have been naive, us not understanding what is dangerous and what’s not dangerous,” Ashton said. “Simple mistakes, we should keep the ball in front of us, we have just been young and naive. We need to do better, it’s tough (because) we put in a lot of work and we have got our rewards.
“It hurts. I hope it hurts all of us but we need to do better.”
PLAYERS TO WATCH
New York Red Bulls – Lewis Morgan
Scottish striker Morgan has been key for Struber this term, with his five goals topping the Red Bulls’ scoring charts.
D.C. United – Taxi Fountas
Fountas leads the way for the Black and Red this MLS campaign, having scored five times so far to tie Ola Kamara for the team lead.
KEY OPTA FACTS
– This will be the 98th meeting between the Red Bulls and D.C. United, the most played series in MLS history (including playoffs). New York is winless in its last three home matches against D.C. (D2 L1) after winning eight of the previous 10 meetings at Red Bull Arena (W8 D2, incl. playoffs).
– The Red Bulls return home following their first road loss of the season, a 2-0 defeat at Miami on Sunday. New York is winless in six home matches in 2022 (D2 L4) and is looking to avoid becoming the fourth team in MLS history to go winless in its first seven home matches of a season.
– After opening the season with two straight wins, D.C. United has recorded just two victories in its last 10 MLS matches (D2 L6). D.C. kept clean sheets in each of its first two matches, both wins, but has kept just one since, conceding multiple goals in eight of its last 10 matches.
– The Red Bulls have committed an MLS high 17.3 fouls per match this season, while their 36 cautions are tied for fourth most. D.C. United has committed 15.5 fouls per match, second in the league, though they’ve been cautioned just 28 times. Only eight teams have been booked less often.
– D.C. United has used an MLS-high 29 different players this season. Only five of those players have scored a goal, tied for the fewest in MLS in 2022. | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/united-red-bulls-preview/ | 2022-05-28T00:13:24Z | https://www.mypanhandle.com/sports/united-red-bulls-preview/ | false | 3 |
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s airport authority Infraero said Friday it has notified the Federal Police over an apparent hack into electronic displays at an airport in Rio de Janeiro. Instead of advertisements and flight information, travelers were shown pornographic movies.
Video clips on social media showed travelers in the Santos Dumont airport laughing at the displays, hiding them from their kids or just stunned.
The airport authority’s statement said that its information services are outsourced to another company, which it has also notified.
“We stress that the content shown in our media screens is a responsibility of the companies who have advertisement rights,” said Infraero. It said its partners use their own systems of publication, which have no connection with Infraero’s flight information system.
Infraero said it turned off the screens that had been hacked. | https://www.ksnt.com/news/international/hacked-brazil-airport-screens-show-porn-to-travelers/ | 2022-05-28T00:15:21Z | https://www.ksnt.com/news/international/hacked-brazil-airport-screens-show-porn-to-travelers/ | false | null |

Federal agents who went to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday to confront a gunman who killed 19 children were told by local police to wait and not enter the school — and then decided after about half an hour to ignore that initial guidance and find the shooter, say two senior federal law enforcement officials.

Guilty plea in plot to firebomb California Democratic HQ
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A California man pleaded guilty Friday to plotting to blow up the state Democratic Party’s headquarters in what prosecutors said was the first in a planned series of politically-motivated attacks after the defeat of former President Donald Trump.
Ian Benjamin Rogers, 46, of Napa, pleaded guilty to conspiring to destroy a building by fire or explosives, possessing an explosive device and possessing a machine gun under a plea agreement that could bring him seven to nine years in federal prison.
U.S. prosecutors in San Francisco charged Rogers and Jarrod Copeland with conspiring to attack targets they associated with Democrats after Trump’s defeat in the November 2020 presidential election.
The pair “hoped their attacks would prompt a movement,” prosecutors said when they announced the charges in July.
Copeland, 38, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy and destruction of records.
“I want to blow up a democrat building bad,” Rogers wrote in one of the messaging apps he used to communicate with Copeland, according to the indictment. In a different message he said that after Democratic President Joe Biden was inaugurated, “we go to war.”
Their first planned target was the John L. Burton Democratic Headquarters in Sacramento, prosecutors said.
Law enforcement officers who searched Rogers’s home in January 2021 seized nearly 50 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition and five pipe bombs, prosecutors said.
He was taken into custody then on state charges after the FBI said he sent text messages that agents perceived as threats against the unoccupied Governor’s Mansion and social media companies Facebook and Twitter.
Under a universal agreement, the federal sentence will be served concurrently with a 10- to 12-year state sentence on similar Napa County charges of possessing fully automatic weapons and explosive devices, said Rogers’ attorney, Colin Cooper.
Rogers “has never been in trouble before,” Cooper said.
“He’s accepted responsibility and he is desirous of paying his debt to society and resuming a life of productivity, of being a good father and good husband and a good family man” with an 11-year-old son, Cooper said. “He feels awful about what happened and what he’s done to his family, and he’s a guy I think we’ll never see again in the (criminal justice) system.”
Rogers remains in custody awaiting his sentencing, set for Sept. 30.

More outdoor dining sheds pulled to accommodate repairs on Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen
NEW YORK -- More sidewalk dining sheds get pulled in Hell's Kitchen to accommodate a big repair project on Ninth Avenue.
It comes just a few weeks after a federal restaurant bailout plan died in Congress, CBS2's Dave Carlin reported Friday.
Construction workers dig into Ninth Avenue along the West 50s to fix water mains and sidewalks. It's a big job that meant taking out roadway dining structures up and down the avenue on May 1.
Restaurant owners thought they had done their part, but now they learn there's more. Several dozen eateries must remove additional structures - this time on side streets - and it must be done by June 20.
"It's so upsetting because this is cutting salaries. It's going to cut revenues," said Ama'lia Sarmiento, who owns Arriba Arriba Restaurant.
Sarmiento's restaurant struggled throughout the pandemic, only to get hit with setback after setback just when business should start booming. The dining out front was one loss, and now seating on the side as well.
"The weather is beautiful, so people want to sit outdoors. They don't want to sit indoors," Sarmiento said.
If these restaurant owners miss the June 20 deadline, not only do they face fines, but also the possibility their outdoor dining permits get revoked for good.
Friday, we emailed the New York City Department of Transportation to clarify the penalties and understand why the removals are not being done in phases. No one got back to us.
"We really rely on this outdoor seating," said Sean Hayden, owner of Alfie's, Jaspers and Dalton's on Ninth Avenue. "You just don't take it down and store it somewhere. You take it down, it's garbage and then you got to rebuild it again."
On top of it, the plug is pulled on the Restaurant Replenishment Fund, or RRF, in Congress. That money to bail out owners is gone.
"We're depending on that money and the money never came true. It didn't get approved in the Senate," Hayden said.
Earlier in May, Mayor Eric Adams spoke about the Ninth Avenue sheds.
"So hold on, they're coming back," Adams said on May 2.
Restaurant owners say they are determined to try and tough it out. But for some, they say, that won't be possible.

MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” (Good) to Nacional de Seguros S.A. Compañía de Seguros Generales (Nacional de Seguros) (Bogota, Colombia). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect Nacional de Seguros’ balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
The ratings also reflect the company’s strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and the profitability Nacional de Seguros has achieved during its relatively short track record. Partially offsetting these positive rating factors is the small size of the company, which limits business diversification given the inherent concentration risk, as well as a high dependence on reinsurance.
Nacional de Seguros began operations in 2014 after acquiring Ecoseguros S.A., a company in voluntary liquidation, with fulfillment and liability insurance licenses granted by the Colombian Financial Superintendence. Nacional de Seguros had less than a 2% market share in Colombia’s property/casualty (P/C) segment, as of December 2021, and is the second largest company in the fulfillment insurance sector with a 15% share.
Nacional de Seguros’ risk-adjusted capitalization stands at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and is supported by a comprehensive reinsurance program and its consistent historical profitability.
The company’s business operations are focused exclusively in Colombia; 86% of premiums proceed from Bogota, 12% from Medellin, and 2% from other cities.
Despite reporting fluctuations in gross premiums, the company has maintained a steady retention level, and constant profitability. Underwriting metrics are characterized by contained loss ratios, and negative acquisition cost ratios due to Nacional de Seguros’ high ceding profile. The company’s investment income has exhibited a stable trend in the past few years, moderately supporting Nacional de Seguros’ income generation.
AM Best does not expect positive rating actions in the medium term. Negative rating actions could occur if the company’s underwriting performance deteriorates, if there is a significant increase in its business risk, as a result of negative consequences of high reinsurance dependence, or if risk-adjusted capitalization becomes unsupportive of the current ratings by any other means.

Attorneys for the families who lost relatives in last year’s collapse of a Florida condominium tower that killed 98 people reached a $1.02-billion settlement Friday, providing a speedy resolution to lawsuits that could have dragged on for years.
The agreement to end litigation over the Champlain Towers South tragedy awaits approval by Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman, but that should just be a formality.
Lawyers previously had announced in court a tentative agreement that almost $1-billion would be split by the families whose relatives died or were harmed in the collapse of the 12-story tower in Surfside, and parties on both sides of the lawsuit filed a motion Friday committing to a $1.02 billion settlement fund. Additionally, nearly $100-million will be split by those who lost their property in the collapse.
Families of victims will have to file claims, as the money will not be split evenly. The goal is to begin distributing money by September.
The money comes from several sources, including insurance companies, engineering companies and a luxury condominium that had recently been built next door. None of the parties are admitting wrongdoing. A billionaire developer from Dubai is set to purchase the 1.8-acre (1-hectare) beachside site for $120-million, contributing to the settlement.
The judge will determine the attorneys fees, but it is expected to be a fraction of the third lawyers would normally earn. Cases like this typically take three years or more to reach a settlement, let alone get to trial.
In their motion for “preliminary approval of class action settlement,” attorneys for plaintiffs and defendants described the collapse in Surfside as a “‘black swan’ event that devastated this community,” and said they were “proud to have met this Court’s challenge to provide relief to the class of victims before the one-year anniversary of the collapse.”
Most of Champlain Towers South collapsed suddenly around 1:20 a.m. last June 24 as most of its residents slept. Only three people survived the initial collapse.
No other survivors were found despite around-the-clock efforts by rescuers who dug through a 40-foot (12-meter) high pile of rubble for two weeks. Another three dozen people were able to escape from the portion of the building that remained standing. All 135 units were ultimately demolished, leaving a gaping hole along Surfside’s beachfront.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is investigating the cause of the collapse, a process expected to take years. Champlain South had a long history of maintenance problems and questions have been raised about the quality of its original construction and inspections in the early 1980s.
The collapse drew new scrutiny to high-rise safety statewide, especially in vulnerable coastal areas. At the time, Miami-Dade and neighbouring Broward counties were the only ones of Florida’s 67 counties requiring buildings to recertify their safety after 40 years.
New legislation passed by the Legislature this week in a special session and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis will require those certifications statewide, significantly earlier in the building’s lifespan.
Recertification will be required after 30 years, or 25 years if the building is within 3 miles (5 kilometres) of the coast, and every 10 years thereafter. The Champlain Towers South was 40 years old and its condominium association had been struggling with compliance at the time of the collapse.

Hundreds of people rallied outside the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston Friday morning in opposition to a National Rifle Association convention being held just days after the deadly Uvalde school shooting.
Protestors outside held signs and shouted slogans like “lives over profits” and “asesinos” — “killers” in Spanish — as people of all ages protested the event. Harper Young, a Houston 10th-grader, said he was angry the meeting continued despite this week’s school shooting.
“It’s just absolutely sickening,” Harper said. “I don’t want to feel like I could get shot any moment while attending school. It’s just not right. It’s not okay.”
Others said they wanted common-sense gun laws, and hoped politicians could agree on compromises to keep everyone safer. Antonio Matamoros, 82, said he was afraid his great grandchildren won’t be safe in the future.
“I think we need to change some of the laws that would make it not so easy to have access to guns, and then also do away with high-powered rifles and the large magazines,” Matamoros said.

Friday’s event stood in the heavy shadow of one of the deadliest school shootings in American history, which occurred a few hours away in Uvalde. That’s where an 18-year-old entered Robb Elementary School on Tuesday and opened fire, killing 19 children and two adults.
As new details emerged in the following days, the response from law enforcement has been called into question. Conservatives have also raised concerns about school security, while others have pushed for tougher firearm restrictions.
David Hogg, a gun control activist and survivor of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, stressed the importance of voting in local elections.
“I believe this time it can be different, and it will be different,” Hogg said. “Mark my words: we will outlive the NRA.”
Nearby at Houston City Hall, teachers and activists met in a public forum to discuss safety measures for students and educators.
"We have to find the common ground,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. “And if we can’t find it, and people hide like they are in the NRA, we have to make sure that they are held accountable.”
Amid the discussion at Houston City Hall, parents, educators and activists also urged legislative actions to tackle gun violence.
“There is no reason why a student should have to worry, a parent should have to worry or anyone at campus should have to worry for their safety when you’re going to school to learn,” said Sandra Tanguma with the gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action. “We need to make that stop. And the only way that we’re going to make that stop is by going to our lawmakers.”
Inside the convention, gun rights supporters heard a much different message.
"If we as a nation were capable of legislating evil out of hearts and minds, we would have done it long ago," said NRA CEO and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre during his opening remarks.
LaPierre and others echoed arguments made this week by other prominent conservative voices: outright rejecting more strict gun laws as ineffective, and instead calling for increased security at schools and addressing mental health needs.
Gov. Greg Abbott this week made a similar call for mental health awareness, though he also said the shooter in Uvalde did not have a record of mental health issues.
Abbott himself backed out of the convention at the last minute and instead went to Uvalde Friday. However, he did send the conference a prerecorded video, in which he mourned the loss of the 19 children and two adults killed Tuesday.
“Moments like this tear apart the very fabric of a community,” Abbott said in the video. “A community that until Tuesday never thought that a tragedy like this could ever happen at such a quiet, South Texas town like Uvalde.”
But while he urged the crowd to pray for the families in Uvalde, he — like LaPierre — painted the shooter as an “evil madman” that no law could stop from carrying out his plan.
“There are thousands of laws on the books across the country that limit the owning or using of firearms — laws that have not stopped madmen from carrying out evil acts on innocent people in peaceful communities,” Abbott said.
While Abbott said he skipped the NRA convention out of respect for the families, members of the DNC — who joined protestors at Discovery Green — criticized him for sending the video.
“An appearance is an appearance,” said U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston. “He is still there taking sides with the NRA.”
Other politicians joined Abbott in skipping the event. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick canceled his appearance at Friday morning’s NRA breakfast, and Sen. John Cornyn cited a scheduling conflict. Others, including Sen. Ted Cruz and former President Donald Trump, did attend the event.
Back across the street, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke — who this week publicly called out Texas Republicans for what he said was inaction on preventing mass shootings — addressed convention-goers.
“You are not our enemies, we are not yours,” O’Rourke said. “We stand, our hands open and unarmed in a gesture of peace and fellowship to welcome you, to join us, to make sure that this no longer happens in this country. But the time for you to respond and to join us is now. We cannot wait any longer for you.”

Mater Dei Catholic Linebacker Tre Edwards Announces College Commitment
Mater Dei Catholic (Chula Vista, Calif.) linebacker Tre Edwards has committed to UCLA, he announced on social media Friday afternoon.
Edwards chose the Bruins from a final four that consisted exclusively of Pac-12 schools in Arizona, UCLA, Oregon and Cal. The San Diego product is rated a four-star (0.9215) prospect according to the 247Sports composite. He's ranked the No. 195 prospect nationally, the No. 12 linebacker and No. 14 prospect in California.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound backer becomes the first pure linebacker to commit to UCLA and Chip Kelly in the 2023 recruiting class and the fourth prospect overall. That group is comprised solely of Southern California talent, also holding verbal commitments from St. John Bosco safety/linebacker hybrid Ty Lee and Norco wide receiver Grant Gray. Lincoln (San Diego, Calif.) running back Roderick Robinson II, also an Oregon target, announced his commitment to the Bruins on Thursday.
Edwards' commitment, in tandem with the addition of Robinson moves the Bruins' 2023 class from No. 66 to No. 40 class nationally on the 247Sports rankings, passing schools like Stanford, North Carolina and Ole Miss and in the process.

As a junior in 2021, Edwards compiled 96 total tackles, 81 solo tackles, 17 tackles for loss and nine sacks (according to MaxPreps). It was numbers like that that helped him earn first-team all-league and defensive player of the year honors in San Diego's Mesa league. Mater Dei Catholic finished with a spotless 13-0 record and was crowned California 2AA state champion after a 34-25 win over Modesto's Central Catholic.

New independent Mexican union wins wage increase at GM plant
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A new independent union at a Mexican auto plant that won a historic organizing vote last year has negotiated an 8.5% wage increase. Workers at the GM transmission and pickup plants in the northern Mexico city of Silao voted overwhelmingly to approve the new contract. Authorities said Friday the contract also increases some benefits. Workers had not previously been able to vote openly, by secret ballot, on contracts or who would represent them. The Independent Union of Auto Industry Workers, known by its initials in Spanish as Sinttia, won an organizing vote in February after ousting an old guard union last year. | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/27/new-independent-mexican-union-wins-wage-increase-at-gm-plant/ | 2022-05-28T01:18:56Z | https://keyt.com/news/2022/05/27/new-independent-mexican-union-wins-wage-increase-at-gm-plant/ | false | null |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A high school honors student in Nevada said in federal court that he’s being bullied by students and harassed by campus administrators who search him for a gun every time someone identifies him on a state hotline that invites anonymous reports of school threats.
“I’m a student, not a threat,” Reno High School junior Lucas Gorelick, 16, told The Associated Press on Friday. “I have rights. I want people to know what is happening, and I want to ensure safety for all future students.”
A lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Reno argues school district officials have violated his constitutional rights to equal protection and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure.
He said his backpack and pickup truck were searched five times in two weeks based on anonymous tips, but no weapon was found. He also noted he has been the target of other incidents he termed “bullying situations” that he traced to his Jewish heritage, his work with Democratic party candidates and his school achievements.
Gorelick is identified by his initials in the lawsuit. The teen, his father, Jeff Gorelick, and their attorney Luke Busby agreed in separate telephone interviews to allow AP to report his name.
Jeff Gorelick characterized a state Department of Education hotline called SafeVoice — established in 2017 after approval from the Legislature — as “an unthinking system” that grants anonymity to bullies.
The father compared using the system to say his son has a gun on campus to “swatting,” or hoax police calls that send authorities to an innocent person’s home. Jeff Gorelick, who owns hunting rifles, said his son does not have a key to the gun safe or own guns of his own.
It was not immediately clear Friday whether students in other states with similar tip hotlines have been targeted in the same way.
Relying on anonymous calls "gives people free rein to do abusive things to other people,” Jeff Gorelick said. “If the purpose is to provide safe schools, which I think was the intended purpose, having a little bit of control on abuse would have been a good idea.”
In a Wednesday court hearing the day after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in a rural Texas school shooting, U.S. District Chief Judge Miranda Du in Reno declined to issue an immediate order telling school administrators to stop the searches.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1985 in a case from New Jersey that school officials need only “reasonable suspicion” that a student has violated the law or school rules to initiate a search. The Fourth Amendment requires “probable cause” or a warrant.
Gorelick's lawsuit remains active, although he will graduate next month, a year early.
Du referred in comments from the bench to school violence, saying the Washoe County School District need not stop the searches even if prior threat reports were proved false, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.
School district attorney Neil Rombardo told the judge that campus administrators had a duty to take tips seriously to protect the safety of the 1,600 students at Reno High, and that SafeVoice had not determined tips about Lucas Gorelick were an abuse of the system, the newspaper said.
“Which one do we not believe?” Rombardo asked, referring to tips received.
Rombardo did not immediately respond Friday to messages from AP.
Lucas Gorelick cited other examples of harassment that included his home and truck being vandalized and swastika graffiti being left on his vehicle.
Gorelick campaigned for President Joe Biden; is a campaign finance intern for U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto; and is involved in the campaign of school board trustee Adam Mayberry.
He served on a school safety committee, has spoken at school board meetings, and is a member of Students Demand Action, a national group aiming to end gun violence in schools. He said he intends to attend college. He did not specify which one.
The Nevada Department of Education said in written statements that every SafeVoice tip is “processed, taken with all seriousness and viewed as valid.”
Department spokeswoman Allegra Demerjian declined additional comment Friday.
SafeVoice data is confidential under state law, the statement said, but a continuing “false tip sequence” can trigger a Nevada State Police investigation and disclosure of the identity of the reporting person.
“If you continue to misuse the system you may no longer be anonymous and there are potential consequences,” the statement said. It did not say if there was an investigation of Gorelick’s case. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Nevada-student-says-anonymous-gun-tips-used-to-17204549.php | 2022-05-28T01:26:13Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Nevada-student-says-anonymous-gun-tips-used-to-17204549.php | false | 12 |

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A young survivor of the massacre at a Texas elementary school said she covered herself with a friend’s blood and pretended to be dead while she waited for help to arrive.
Miah Cerrillo, 11, told CNN that she and a friend called 911 from her dead teacher’s phone Tuesday and waited for what felt like, to her, three hours for officers to arrive at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The 18-year-old shooter, Salvador Ramos, was inside the school for more than an hour before he was shot to death by Border Patrol tactical officers. That’s according to top law enforcement officials who provided new details Thursday of a confusing and sometimes contradictory timeline that has angered and frustrated the parents and onlookers who had urged police to charge into the school.
Miah said that after the shooter moved from one room into the adjacent one she could hear screams and a lot more gunfire, and that the gunman then started blaring music.
The children who survived the attack, which killed 19 schoolchildren and two teachers, described a festive, end-of-the-school-year day that quickly turned to terror.
Samuel Salinas, 10, told ABC’s “ Good Morning America ” that he and other classmates pretended to be dead after Ramos opened fire on the class. Samuel was struck by shrapnel in his thigh.
“He shot the teacher and then he shot the kids,” said Samuel, who was in Irma Garcia’s class. Garcia died in the attack and her husband, Joe Garcia, died Thursday of an apparent heart attack.
Gemma Lopez, 10, was in a classroom down the hall when Ramos entered the building. She told “Good Morning America” that a bullet came through her classroom wall before any lockdown was called.
Her best friend, Amerie Garza, died in the rampage.

Just over 1% of Irish farms are organic, CSO reveals
Just over 1% of Irish farms are organic, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) has revealed.
Released today (Thursday May 26), the CSO's 2020 Agriculture Census found organic farming activity takes place on just 1,686 farms out of a total of 130,200 farms (of more than five hectares) operating in Ireland, or 1.2%.
According to a statistician in the CSO's agriculture division, Sophie Emerson, the census provides "a snapshot" of the agricultural activity on Irish farms in 2020.
She said, "This census of farming is taken every 10 years and it includes statistics on farm structure, farmer demographics, livestock and land utilisation on farms. Preliminary results of this census were published in December.
"The results released today provide detail on the following categories of Irish agriculture; Organic Farming, the Agriculture Labour Force, Animal Housing and Manure Management, and Standard Output. In addition, selected statistics are now available at electoral division level."
According to Teagasc, organic farming is differentiated by internationally acknowledged standards and certification procedures.
A two-year conversion period is required before a farm is given organic status; the main requirements to attain this status include the prohibition of most herbicides, the prohibition of soluble mineral fertilisers with the exception of lime and phosphate, and an obligation to provide the highest standards of animal welfare.
This includes bedding, good ventilation and generous floor space for housed animals, as well as the provision of a diet of at least 60% roughage.
Routine preventative treatment of healthy animals is not allowed, with a focus on prevention rather than cure.
According to the census, organic area utilised (AAU) accounted for 73,800 hectares of the 4.5 million hectares of farm land in Ireland - or 1.6% of the total - the majority of which is grassland (96%).
Fifty one thousand six hundred and eighty five cattle were farmed organic in 2020, 74,870 sheep and 161,471 poultry.
The number of fully converted organic farm holdings was 1,540, just above 91% of all organic farm holdings.
The census also found just under 278,600 people contributed to work on farms during the year, with men accounting for 73% of personnel and 80% of the volume of farm labour.
More than half of farm holders stated farming was their sole occupation and less than 46% of farm holders had a succession plan in place.
Over 98% of organic AAU was grassland in the Border, West and South-West regions, according to the census, while organic grassland accounted for over 90% of organic AAU in the Midlands (92.4%) and Mid-West (96.1%).
The Mid-East and Dublin, and South-East regions were the only regions where cereals accounted for more than 10% of organic AAU, with 12.3% in Mid-East and Dublin, and 10.5% in the South-East.
In regards to electoral areas, the South-West and Mid-West regions had the most cattle in 2020 with 1,454,724 and 1,452,826 cattle respectively, while Drom in Co Tipperary had the most with 11,435.
The West and Border regions had the most sheep with 1,510,337 and 1,300,434 sheep respectively, while the Electoral Division of An Clochán, Co. Donegal had the most sheep with 19,946.
The average age of a farm holder was 74 in Buncrana Urban, Co Donegal.
The mean gross production (standard output) per farm was €48,380, while half of farms had a standard output equal to or less than €13,566 (median standard output).
The report also revealed a mean standard output of €12,557 on farms under 10 hectares, while the mean standard output on farms above 100 hectares was €276,891.
Specialist Dairying and Other farm systems had the largest mean standard output in 2020, with €209,006 and €338,416 respectively.
Farms with higher gross production are generally larger area; farms with Standard Output between €50,000 and €100,000 had an average AAU of 57.9ha, while those with Standard Output over €100,000 had an average AAU of 82.5ha.

A CLEANING expert has shared a hack on how to make washing floors much easier and all it requires is a broom.
The cleaning hack aims to save people time and effort by using the broom to do much of the work.
TikTok creator @bossladycleaninghacks shared the mixture that she uses when cleaning her floors. It appears to help her pick up the dirt and dust that accumulates with ease.
The video has more than 4million views since it was posted in January.
But what many viewers were most surprised by was Amy's use of a broom during her cleaning video.
Amy pours the mixture on the floor and cleans it up with a broom by using its bristles to scrub the cleaning mixture onto the floor.
She then wipes up the mixture by dropping a towel and using the broom to move the towel across the floor.
While pouring the dirty water into the toilet, her followers see just how much dirt the cleaning mixture and broom picked up.
"I feel like this cleans the floor so much better than a mop anyway!!" one commenter said of using the broom.
"The broom thing is actually smart. You're getting in all those grooves," another person said.

Amy shared how others could make the mixture in another video.
The cleaning solution includes: six cups of boiling water, 1/4 cup of Arm & Hammer detergent, and 1/2 cup of 30percent vinegar.
"Scrub and rinse thoroughly!" she wrote, adding that it was the only one of four solutions she tried that worked.
In the comment section, Amy explained that she uses the mixture on vinyl flooring.
"These are not wood," she said in a comment.
"I do not recommend ever pouring water on wood flooring. These are vinyl."
Another person shared how the cleaning hack also worked well for bathroom cleaning.
"I do this in the tub/shower, saves my back, so much easier!" another user shared.

Facing death with the support of an end of life doula
In our culture there are several rituals that help prepare for a birth, but how do we prepare for death? A person known as a death doula can help.
In 2016 when Maribeth Schmitt’s husband was on life support for six weeks, she was shocked and overwhelmed. Schmitt’s husband was very close to death. As she sat by her husband’s bedside, she wasn’t sure what he needed, and she definitely wasn’t sure what she needed.
“I just sat there and held his hand and tried to make him comfortable but as far as what I needed, I did have a girlfriend who would show up with food occasionally, who supported me through it all, but I didn’t even know what to ask her, you know, about can you do this for me, can you do that. I didn’t have it together enough,” explained Schmitt.
Who does have it together when a loved one is dying? Mort Schmitt was eventually taken off life support and died. There were so many details and difficult decisions and Schmitt and her only daughter, Sarah needed help. That’s where Lauren Hunter-Smith comes in. She’s an end of life doula. A doula is usually associated with a birth. But an end of life doula helps families emotionally and spiritually prepare for death. Hunter-Smith says watching her friends power through Mort’s illness and death inspired her to pursue death work professionally. The Lexington native received certification as a death doula in 2021. Hunter-Smith said most people take time to plan for their future, but few of us plan for our end.
“I think we don’t because, in part, we don’t realize that we can. A huge hurdle for me and maybe the biggest hurdle as a death doula is just education. It’s letting people know that they have these choices. These are options. There are ways to go about death, more cathartic for our living and for ourselves,” said Hunter-Smith.
The 39 year old said death doulas are as ancient as death itself. She said there’s a call for this role as more people are choosing to die at home. Americans have an aversion to talking about death, she said.
“It’s something that I think, we’re not even supposed to talk about. We’re not supposed to age. There’s all these products to prevent aging. We’re always preventing it. We’re never embracing it. And I just think we’ve all been in these experiences where because we didn’t embrace death, we didn’t get what we needed out of someone’s end,” said Hunter-Smith.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, the Schmitts took a class from Hunter- Smith. She started the class by handing the women a booklet to write in. She explained that the document was technically a living will and end of life plan.
The women are not ill, but they’re interested in being prepared and curious about options like green burial and legacy projects, all things a doula like Hunter-Smith can help with. Sarah Schmitt said some of the information Hunter-Smith shared in the workshop was surprising to her.
“I had no idea that in the 21st century you could still, with a provisional death certificate, have a body taken to your house. That you could have a home funeral if you want to. And I think that, that’s freeing. I also think there’s something nice about knowing that you have a lot of different choices,” said Schmitt.
In the class Hunter-Smith spent time discussing legacy projects which could be as simple as a letter or as involved as a video. She said it allows a person to take an active role in how they are remembered.
She’s also studying green burial. Green Burials are considered natural. The remains of the deceased are placed into the ground with no embalming, no metal caskets or no concrete vault. If someone in Kentucky wants a green burial Hunter-Smith takes them to Heritage Acres Memorial Sanctuary in Ohio. Bill Gupton is president and founder. He said there are a growing number of people in our society that are interested in reclaiming death practices from long ago when home funerals were common. Gupton said a death midwife or doula has close involvement with the family that offers the family opportunities for processing and healing and spirituality that you don’t get in a conventional setting.
When Cathy Kelley’s husband was suffering from ALS in 2019 her sister-in-law suggested a death doula to help the family through the difficult process. The Chicago resident said their doula, Molly, was invaluable. She offered emotional support and helpful information. She also helped Cathy generate ideas for a vigil that was meaningful to the Kelley family.
“We had some great beach vacations together. We took holy water and we put it in shells that we had actually brought back from the ocean. And we all just went around in a circle around his bed and each person would dip their finger into the holy water and maybe put it on Mark’s hands and say, ’thank you to your hands and all the times you threw baseball with me,’” said Kelley.
Even though Cathy Kelley has a full-time job she said she was inspired to take the death doula training after her husband died, so she can give back to the world.
Bluegrass Death Doula Lauren Hunter-Smith says there are numerous services a death doula can provide but planning is important. She said it’s wise to seek a doula long before you need one.
”I’ve seen what happens when people have support at their end of life. And how different it does look. And how different it looks when you leave a funeral and you finally have this moment where you’re like ‘I got to say goodbye, I got to do those things.’ It’s an entirely different moment. And it’s better,” explained Hunter-Smith. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2614091430463/facing-death-with-the-support-of-an-end-of-life-doula | 2022-05-28T01:46:05Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2614091430463/facing-death-with-the-support-of-an-end-of-life-doula | true | 1 |
The CIAC softball tournament seeding and schedule were released on Friday. The first round starts on Tuesday.
Defending Class LL champion Southington is the second seed, while Danbury (19-1) is first. In Class L, the 2021 champion Masuk is the top seed and will have a first-round bye.
Woodland (20-0) is the first seed in Class M while 2021 champion Seymour is the No.18 seed. Finally, the 2021 Class S champion Coginchaug is the No.12 seed. Cromwell is the first seed in Class S and will receive a first-round bye.
Here are five things to watch for:
Southington aims to repeat
After winning the 2021 Class LL championship, Southington followed it up with an impressive 19-1 record this season. The Blue Knights’ only loss was a 6-0 defeat to Class L No.1 seed Masuk. On Tuesday Southington will play No. 31 seed Wilbur Cross.
The Blue Knights have relied on their offense all season, scoring in double digits 12 times. On Thursday that impressive offense carried Southington to a second-straight Central Connecticut Conference tournament title with a 10-0 victory over Enfield. Top seed Danbury looks to be the primary competition in preventing a repeat title and both schools have yet to face each other this season.
Glastonbury comes in hot
Fourth-seeded Glastonbury (18-2) comes into the Class LL tournament with some positive momentum after winning nine out of 10. The Guardians’ only regular-season losses are to Southington and No. 6 seed Hall. Glastonbury will play No. 29 Hamden in the first round.
The player to watch for Glastonbury is pitcher Brooke Tracy, headed for Bryant next year. Tracey had a dominant season on the mound and finished with a 15-2 record and 1.28 ERA in the regular season.
Defending champ Coginchaug stumbling in
After winning the 2021 Class S championship, Coginchaug took a step back this season. The Blue Devils had a 12-6 record in the regular season but lost their last three regular-season games. On Tuesday, the No. 12 seed Coginchaug faces No. 21 Stafford in the first round. If the Blue Devils were to win, they would face the winner of No. 5 seed Old Lyme and No. 28 seed University in the second round. In the regular season, they lost to the Wildcats, 4-3, and never played the Hawks.
For Coginchaug to advance far in the tournament, they need their offense to produce more than it has lately.
Stellar pitching among many top seeds
Quality pitching is a common theme among the higher seeds in all class levels. Class LL second seed Southington has an ace in senior Dominique Gaudio, who will play at Utica next season. Blue Knights coach Davina Hernandez told the Courant it changed the way they approach games this past season: ”We said from Day One: If we’re going to be successful against this lineup of pitchers this year, we have to have great discipline and pitch selection.”
Hall is the sixth seed in Class LL and its ace, Sophie Garner-MacKinnon, will play at Duke next season. Avon, the sixth seed in Class L, owes much of its success to senior Jackie Pengel, who will pitch at Syracuse.
Somers looks to bounce back from championship loss
Last season, Somers lost badly to Coginchaug, 14-2, in the Class S championship game. This season, they are a sixth seed after finishing with a 15-5 record. Somers won nine out of their last 10 games to close out the regular season. In those wins, their offense has really heated up and poured in the runs.
They come in with just the right momentum to make a run. On Tuesday, they will play No. 27 seed East Catholic and get a chance to potentially start another special tournament run. | https://www.courant.com/sports/high-schools/hc-sp-five-storylines-to-watch-in-ciac-softball-tournament-20220527-20220528-mhowkbsluzc6lfmvvu6xzhspbm-story.html | 2022-05-28T01:50:20Z | https://www.courant.com/sports/high-schools/hc-sp-five-storylines-to-watch-in-ciac-softball-tournament-20220527-20220528-mhowkbsluzc6lfmvvu6xzhspbm-story.html | true | 1 |
