Sidse Babett Knudsen, star of returning Danish political TV drama Borgen, has rejected the idea that the series may continue past its brand new fourth season, set to debut in the US and UK on Netflix on June 2.
While its creator Adam Price, who wrote the hit previous three seasons as well as the forthcoming return, remains ambivalent, telling The Times of London, “Never say never” when asked about the prospect of carrying on, its female star remains emphatic. “No way. Birgitte is done.”
‘Birgitte’ is the politician at the centre of Borgen, a subtitled drama about Danish coalition politics that became an unlikely hit following its debut in 2012. Nine years have elapsed since the third season aired, but Price and his team were seduced by the lure of Netflix and the fourth season was announced back in 2020.
While the first season aired before Denmark welcomed its first real-life female PM, this time around will see the show once again proving prescient, this time exploring a fictional conflict between Denmark and Russia after oil is found in Greenland.
There is once again a female Prime Minister in charge, a younger version for whom Birgitte finds herself working. But Birgitte no longer finds herself torn between work and family life, because her character is now divorced and her children grown up.
The huge global success of the first three seasons gave Knudsen an international breakthrough, including roles in Westworld, A Hologram for the King and playing a lesbian dominatrix in Peter Strickland’s The Duke of Burgundy.
Another international star to enjoy his breakthrough on the show is Pilou Asbaek, who has since appeared as Euron Greyjoy in Game of Thrones and is in the cast for the forthcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Despite her success, Knudsen told The Times that the most frequent she has been asked in the near decade since we saw the last of Birgitte and her political colleagues has been, “Is there going to be another series?” And she adds, “My initial response was, ‘Don’t touch it.’”
And it seems that, despite the lure of the Netflix budgets and the prospect of an even larger audience for Season 4, once again she feels the same way.

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.

In closing arguments, though, Depp lawyer Camille Vasquez argued that Heard's free-speech rights have limits.
“The First Amendment doesn't protect lies that hurt and defame people,” she said.
Depp's lawyers point to two passages in the article that they say clearly refer to Depp.
In the first passage, Heard writes that “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath.” Depp’s lawyers call it a clear reference to Depp, given that Heard publicly accused Depp of domestic violence in 2016 — two years before she wrote the article.
In a second passage, she states, “I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.” (Depp's lawyers are also seeking damages over a headline that appeared above the online version of the article, even though Heard didn't write it.)
The jury, which has to come to a unanimous decision for a verdict, must decide whether those passages in the Post are defamatory. And the verdict form gives them step-by-step instructions on how to determine that.
Heard's lawyers say they have presented a mountain of evidence that Heard was abused. But they say that even if the jury were somehow to believe that she was never abused even a single time, she should still prevail in the lawsuit.
That's because libel law spells out several factors that must be considered. First, the alleged defamatory statements have to be about the plaintiff. Heard's lawyers said the article is not about Depp at all. He's not mentioned, and they say the focus is on Heard's experience about the aftermath of speaking out. Those statements remain objectively true even if she wasn't in fact abused, her lawyers contend.
Depp's lawyers, though, say the two passages are clear references to Depp, given the publicity that surrounded their 2016 divorce proceedings.
In addition, because Depp is a public figure, Heard can only be found guilty of libel if the jury decides that Heard acted with “actual malice,” which requires clear and convincing evidence that she either knew what she was writing was false or that she acted with reckless disregard for the truth.
Heard lawyer J. Benjamin Rottenborn said during Friday's closing arguments that Heard carefully reviewed drafts of the article — the first draft was written not by her, but by the American Civil Liberties Union — with her lawyers to make sure that what was written passed legal muster. Rottenborn said that fact alone is sufficient proof that she didn't act with actual malice.
As for the abuse itself, Depp's lawyers tried to suggest to the jury that if they think Heard is lying or embellishing any of her abuse claims, that she can't be trusted and that all of her abuse claims must be dismissed as untrustworthy.
“You either believe all of it, or none of it,” Vasquez said. “Either she is a victim of ugly, horrible abuse, or she is a woman who is willing to say absolutely anything.”
In Heard’s closing, Rottenborn said the nitpicking over Heard’s evidence of abuse ignores the fact there’s overwhelming evidence on her behalf and sends a dangerous message to domestic-violence victims.
“If you didn’t take pictures, it didn’t happen,” Rottenborn said. “If you did take pictures, they’re fake. If you didn’t tell your friends, they’re lying. If you did tell your friends, they’re part of the hoax.”
And he rejected Vasquez’s suggestion that if the jury thinks Heard might be embellishing on a single act of abuse that they have to disregard everything she says. He said Depp’s libel claim must fail if Heard suffered even a single incident of abuse.
“They’re trying to trick you into thinking Amber has to be perfect to win,” Rottenborn said.

Editor's Note: This story contains descriptions of offensive language, including the use of racist slurs.
A former Army reservist and security guard at a Naval weapons station was found guilty on all counts for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Prosecutors portrayed Timothy Hale-Cusanelli of New Jersey as an extremist, who hoped for a second "civil war." The government presented evidence of Hale-Cusanelli using racist, antisemitic and anti-gay slurs, yelling obscenities at officers protecting the Capitol, and later enthusiastically boasting about breaching the building to a roommate. As jurors heard at trial, that roommate was secretly wearing a recording device on behalf of investigators with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the FBI.
Hale-Cusanelli's defense did not dispute that he entered the building. As the defendant himself put it when he testified in his own defense, "I should not have been there." Instead, the defense argued that Hale-Cusanelli was prone to making "bombastic," "offensive," and "extreme" comments, which generally amounted to more talk than action. He was not charged with assaulting police or causing property damage. The defense also argued that Hale-Cusanelli did not travel to Washington with the specific goal of storming the Capitol, let alone disrupting the electoral count. Hale-Cusanelli testified that he could not have intended to disrupt Congress that day, because he did not realize that the Capitol was where Congress met.
"It sounds idiotic and it is," Hale-Cusanelli testified. He said it was "embarrassing" to admit he lacked that basic knowledge. Prosecutors said that claim defied common sense, especially since Hale-Cusanelli texted friends about the electoral count process and he studied American history in community college.
After deliberating for about five-and-a-half hours, the jury sided with the prosecution.
A history of 'offensive' behavior
By many accounts, Hale-Cusanelli's life prior to the Capitol riot was troubled, and he was known for often expressing racist, antisemitic and otherwise offensive views.
In 2010, when he was 20 years old, Hale-Cusanelli was arrested with three other people after reports that they had shot frozen corn cobs at a house using a potato gun, according to court papers. The potato gun was emblazoned with the words "WHITE IS RIGHT" and a drawing of a Confederate flag, the documents state. The following year, Hale-Cusanelli stabbed his mother's then-boyfriend in what news reports described as a "domestic dispute." His attorney said in court prior to the trial that Hale-Cusanelli was defending his mother against the boyfriend, and the charges against him were dismissed.
After high school, Hale-Cusanelli signed up with the Army Reserves, where he served as a human resources specialist. He never deployed as part of his service, the Army said, and on the witness stand, Hale-Cusanelli described his service as essentially an office job. He attended community college, where he studied history, and, by 2020, Hale-Cusanelli had a job working as a security guard at Naval Weapons Station Earle. He lived on the base at the same time. His job gave him access to military explosives and munitions, and he had a "secret" level security clearance. The government would later portray Hale-Cusanelli as a security threat, given his sensitive post.
On the base, prosecutors stated in court documents, Hale-Cusanelli often antagonized his coworkers with antisemitic and offensive comments.
"Hitler should have finished the job," Hale-Cusanelli once said, according to a Naval Petty officer who spoke to investigators. A Navy seaman told the investigators that Hale-Cusanelli once said, "babies born with any deformities or disabilities should be shot in the forehead." One day at the base, Hale-Cusanelli went to work with a "Hitler mustache," prosecutors said.
He avidly supported former President Trump, and texted with friends about politics using racist, anti-gay, and antisemitic slurs. At one point, he texted a friend that Democrats might steal the 2020 election through "n***** rigging."
Hale-Cusanelli tried to explain his comments by describing himself on the stand as a "nihilistic millennial." At the very end of his trial, he said that some of his racist and antisemitic language was "self-deprecating" - he said, to some surprise, that he was "half-Jewish and half-Puerto Rican." Hale-Cusanelli testified that he was long estranged from both his parents, in large part because of their substance abuse issues. And he said his offensive comments were "a way I cope with how I was raised" and a way to get attention.
"It's just what I do. It's how I grew up. It's an outlet for what I feel. And a way to see if anyone cares," he testified.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, expressed doubt about the sincerity of Hale-Cusanelli's claim. In court papers prior to the trial, prosecutors described Hale-Cusanelli as a committed extremist, citing the fact that he owned copies of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" as well as "The Turner Diaries," a white nationalist novel that helped inspire the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
Naval investigators talked to 44 people at the Navy base where Hale-Cusanelli worked, and reported that 34 described Hale-Cusanelli "as having extremist or radical views pertaining to the Jewish people, minorities, and women."
Later, at trial, federal Judge Trevor McFadden ruled that much of that evidence could not be presented to the jury, because he said it would be "unduly prejudicial" without shedding enough light on Hale-Cusanelli's actions on Jan. 6. As a result, prosecutors were unable to probe Hale-Cusanelli's statement about his "half Jewish" heritage at trial.
The path to the Capitol
Hale-Cusanelli frequently worked the night shift at the naval base. Right after he finished work on Jan. 6, 2021, he put on a gray suit (he said it was his "favorite suit"), a red "MAGA" hat, and drove from Naval Weapons Station Earle to Washington, D.C. He watched part of Trump's speech that day, and heard the then-president say, "we're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them."
Hale-Cusanelli testified that he decided then to go to the Capitol, and he expected Trump to join the protesters there.
Video showed how he joined the mob on the west side of the Capitol. "The revolution will be televised, c***t!" he yelled at police guarding the building. "I was very angry," he later testified, especially at the police use of pepper spray and flash bangs. Another video taken that day shows him moving a bike rack, which police had been using as a barrier against the demonstrators. When a group of rioters eventually broke a window on the Senate side and gave the mob access to the building, Hale-Cusanelli followed them in.
He ultimately spent about 40 minutes inside the Capitol, where he walked from the crypt to the underground Capitol Visitors Center. At one point, he interfered with a police officer trying to arrest one of the rioters. At another, he stood in the Capitol Visitors Center and looked up through a set of skylights at the people above. From that vantage, he could see people outside the Capitol building. Prosecutors said the video showed him waving his hands for the demonstrators to join the mob inside.
Hale-Cusanelli was able to leave the Capitol building without being arrested, and with a large blue Trump flag he picked up inside.
Less than a week after Hale-Cusanelli got home, investigators from the NCIS knocked on his front door. He wasn't home. Instead, they found one of his housemates on the Navy base. He was a Navy medic - a Black man who testified against Hale-Cusanelli using a pseudonym, because, the government said, he now feared for his safety.
'Are you wearing a wire?'
Hale-Cusanelli's housemate testified at the trial under the pseudonym "Mark Jacobs." He said he was assigned to live at the house with Hale-Cusanelli and they generally had a "cordial" relationship and were friendly, though things could get heated when they talked politics. Jacobs is liberal, and he and Hale-Cusanelli did not agree on much politically. That did not stop them from talking about a lot of things, but the topic of "race issues in America" was completely off-limits, Jacobs testified. That prohibition did not stop Hale-Cusanelli from telling Jacobs that "Jewish interests" controlled the Democrats, Jacobs said.
When federal investigators knocked on Hale-Cusanelli's door and instead found Jacobs, they soon involved Jacobs in the criminal investigation. About a week after the Capitol riot, Jacobs met with government agents at a pizza place, where they attached a recording device to his body. Jacobs testified that the agents did not give him a specific goal - just "to get Tim to speak about whatever he did on Jan. 6."
"I was extremely nervous," Jacobs testified about the decision to wear a wire.
On the tape, Hale-Cusanelli recounted the day at the Capitol to Jacobs.
"I can't describe how exhilarating it was," he said.
He said the storming of the Capitol was "never planned," but that "if we had more people, we could've cleared the building."
At a few points in the conversation, the topic of a potential second "civil war" came up.
"I think that it is probably the simplest solution," Hale-Cusanelli told Jacobs, saying that it would give the country a "clean slate."
At one point on the tape, Jacobs asked Hale-Cusanelli whether he would try to attend another event like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"Are you wearing a wire?" Hale-Cusanelli responded.
"Yes, Tim, I'm wearing a f****** wire," Jacobs responded sarcastically.
"I would love to be part of a historical event," Hale-Cusanelli then said.
On Jan. 17, 2021 - not long after that conversation - a group of federal agents arrested Hale-Cusanelli. Jacobs received $4,000 from the government as compensation for wearing the wire.
At bail hearings after his arrest, prosecutors presented the litany of extreme statements Hale-Cusanelli had made. The judge - a Trump appointee - decided Hale-Cusanelli posed too great a danger to the public to be released on bond.
By the time his trial began in May 2022, Hale-Cusanelli had been locked up for about 16 months.
During Hale-Cusanelli's time in jail, a longtime family friend of his named Cynthia Hughes began advocating for him and other Jan. 6 defendants, referring to them as "political prisoners." Hughes eventually founded a nonprofit called the Patriot Freedom Project, which has raised more than a million dollars, in part through the support of figures like former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, right-wing commentator Dinesh D'Souza, and the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate J.D. Vance. The group has also attracted controversy among some Jan. 6 defendants and their families, who question how the funds are distributed. Hughes has defended the group's practices, and other families of defendants have effusively praised the group.
Hughes attended Hale-Cusanelli's trial, and tweeted about Jacobs' testimony, "Hope that $4,000 dollars was worth destroying someone's life over politics you rat!"
The Trial
Given the copious video evidence against him, Hale-Cusanelli's defense at trial relied largely on a claim of ignorance. The most serious charge Hale-Cusanelli faced was "obstruction of an official proceeding" - basically the intentional disruption of Congress' certification of Joe Biden's electoral college win. Hale-Cusanelli testified that he could not have intentionally disrupted Congress, because "I did not realize that Congress was in the Capitol building."
He also tried to explain his comments recorded by Jacobs' wire - he testified that he was "embellishing" and "exaggerating what happened" on that tape.
Hale-Cusanelli's attorney, Jonathan Crisp, said in court that his client "couldn't shut up to save his life," that he was "simplistic in his thought processes," and compared him to a "child having a temper tantrum." (Hale-Cusanelli was 30 years old at the time of the riot.) Crisp also said that Hale-Cusanelli is "offensive" and "abusive" with his language, but that it was, essentially, just talk.
Prosecutors argued that Hale-Cusanellit's claim that he did not know that Congress met in the U.S. Capitol defied common sense. They pointed out that the Capitol Visitors Center, where Hale-Cusanelli was for part of the riot, is designed for tourists and has signs saying "House of Representatives" and "Senate." They also noted that Hale-Cusanelli studied American history, and often texted with friends about the electoral college process.
Prosecutor Karen Seifert said Hale-Cusanelli had never previously mentioned this supposed confusion about Congress and the Capitol.
"He hadn't thought of that excuse" until the trial, Seifert said.
The Verdict
After three days of testimony, the jury began deliberations. Five and a half hours later, they returned a verdict: guilty on all counts.
NPR spoke to two jurors as they left the courthouse, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The jurors said the deliberations were "intense" at times, and three jurors were initially skeptical that Hale-Cusanelli intentionally breached the Capitol in order to obstruct Congress. Eventually, after hearing the other members of the jury explain their reasoning, those three jurors were convinced to convict.
One juror said Hale-Cusanelli's testimony actually hurt his case. "He wasn't credible at all," this juror said.
The other juror described Hale-Cusanelli's testimony as "contradictory," and was troubled to hear Hale-Cusanelli's antisemitic comments given his testimony that he is "half Jewish."
"I couldn't fathom how he slandered his own culture," this juror said.
In court, Judge Trevor McFadden also said he found Hale-Cusanelli's testimony that he did not know congress met in the U.S. Capitol "highly dubious." As a result, McFadden said he was open to a sentencing enhancement for obstruction or impeding of the administration of justice. He set the sentencing date for September 2022.
Standing outside the courthouse, Hughes, who describes herself as Hale-Cusanelli's "adoptive aunt," said he was "convicted because of words and for being offensive, and for no other reason." She called on other trials of Jan. 6 defendants to be moved out of Washington, DC, because, she said, "there will never be a fair and impartial jury in this city."

Alexis Bledel's time on "The Handmaid's Tale" has come to an end.
The actress, who has played Emily/Ofglen on all four seasons of the Hulu drama, announced she is exiting the show in a statement to E! News.
"After much thought, I felt I had to step away from The Handmaid's Tale at this time," Alexis said. "I am forever grateful to [creator] Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and crew for their support."
Alexis was nominated for an Emmy for each season of the series, winning the Guest Actress in a Drama Series trophy in 2017.
When viewers last saw Emily on the series, an adaptation of the classic Margaret Atwood novel, she and a group of escaped Handmaids murdered Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), who had orchestrated a plea deal that would let him walk in exchange for his becoming a spy in Gilead.
Season five of "The Handmaid's Tale" is expected to premiere on Hulu later this year. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/alexis-bledel-announces-exit-from-the-handmaids-tale/2980219/ | 2022-05-28T13:30:28Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/alexis-bledel-announces-exit-from-the-handmaids-tale/2980219/ | false | 14 |
While summer has not technically started, the thermometer for many says it has already arrived. Staying properly hydrated and doing a few easy things can help you avoid medical issues associated with the heat.
Working outdoors or simply exercising can become problematic. Jessica Stroope, an LSU AgCenter physical activity specialist, said if your schedule allows, try to take care of outdoor chores and exercise early in the morning or late in the day when the sun is lower in the sky and the heat is less oppressive.
If your schedule is not flexible, it is important to recognize the differences between heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
“If you are getting overheated, you’re getting toward heat exhaustion,” Stroope said. “You may feel dizzy. You may have excessive sweating, excessive fatigue. You want to slow down immediately and get to a cooler area — at least some shade, preferably inside with some air conditioning.”
Heat stroke is a much more dangerous condition, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it leads to 700 deaths a year in the U.S.
“Confusion is a sign of heat stroke,” Stroope said. “So if you’ve got dizziness and the confusion element, you need to seek emergency medical attention now.”
Drinking fluids during the day is important to staying properly hydrated. Stroope said it’s best to start drinking fluids as soon as you rise in the morning.
“In Louisiana, when you wake up in the morning, you’re actually starting at a deficit with your hydration,” she said. “So you want to drink water first thing. Have your coffee, sure, but drink some water before you go out into the heat.”
Foods commonly grown in Louisiana can provide some relief from the heat and help with hydration. Watermelon, blueberries and cantaloupes are good sources of water and nutrients, and when chilled, help provide a break from the heat.
According to Stroope, sports drinks can provide some nutrients that are lost during heavy sweating, but water should be your primary source of hydration.
“If it’s really hot outside, you’re losing some sodium and minerals,” Stroope said. “A sports drink can help you rebalance. But make sure you are hydrated with water beforehand.”
Even though many people from Louisiana are somewhat accustomed to the heat and humidity, it doesn’t mean they cannot suffer heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Stroope recommends wearing loose, light-colored clothing and sunscreen when exposed to the sun. Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to health problems in the future.
According to the CDC, skin-related cancers are the most common, with 1 in 5 Americans expected to be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer. | https://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/news/local_state_headlines/beating-the-summer-heat/article_7ae86fac-dc92-11ec-90d3-7b6b4b915a42.html | 2022-05-28T13:31:24Z | https://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/news/local_state_headlines/beating-the-summer-heat/article_7ae86fac-dc92-11ec-90d3-7b6b4b915a42.html | false | 2 |

The best course I have taken on Coursera. As a person with multiple illnesses I experience pain of many types. The course taught me the reasons for different types of pain as well as techniques to help. The many dimension's of pain management were a great reminder of what I knew as well as adding to my knowledge. The videos and outlines give you what you need to pass the course yet they provide articles, research data, links and handouts to use if you desire. There is also a follow along with a novel that I still have to finish. I have recommended the course to many of my doctors already. It has spurred me to reassess MY role in my health and look for areas I have not been developing. As a result I am starting a support group for people with chronic physical illness in my area.

The only "bothersome" piece was that the first presenter continually introduced himself, over and over, telling us where he is teaching, etc. I liked him but wow, no need to do that as a waste of my time and boring, too! I loved the course, though, and it helped me personally and tremendously, a plethora of valuable information in it!

I thought that this was one of the best, most insightful medically-oriented classes that I have ever taken and I absolutely LOVE the "Human Systems Approach". Although I personally do not have any pain whatsoever, this course has helped me to relate better to friends and acquaintance who do have chronic pain. Even before completing the course, I found myself recommending that others not only take this course but also check out the International Myopain Society to address some of their chronic pain issues. I believe in "mind over matter" and the part of the course indicating that the "placebo effect" accounts for 30-40% of patient improvements did not completely surprise me but what did surprise me was that medical evidence in double-bind control tests support that position. I would highly recommend this class.

As a physical therapy student, I highly recommend this course for any healthcare provider who is interested in chronic pain and/or for any patients out there who are suffering from chronic pain.

It turns out money may buy some happiness
A few weeks ago, I found myself flying on a trapeze high above Manhattan. Why the heck was I there? Well, I was trying to answer an age-old question. Does money buy happiness?
What made me think a trapeze could help me determine whether money can buy happiness?
It was something I learned as I recorded the latest episode of my podcast, "Margins of Error." I went to some different sources to determine whether money can buy happiness.
First, I went to my friend Clara, who grew up without a lot of it. "Money cannot buy happiness," she told me, "but money can solve a lot of our problems and troubles."
I also looked at a 2010 Princeton University study that was once the final word on the subject, which indicated money can help make you happier but not beyond an income of $75,000.
Then came a 2021 study from Matthew Killingsworth, a senior fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Killingsworth gathered data over a seven-year period in real time from tens of thousands of people across a wide range of incomes -- from folks earning minimum wage to those making more than $500,000 a year. He asked people to rate their level of happiness on a continuous scale.
The steps Killingsworth took made his experiment different from others before him, including the earlier Princeton study. He found that your day-to-day happiness levels do rise when you earn more money. This may come as a surprise to you given one study found that only one-fifth of Americans believe money can buy happiness.
Unlike the Princeton researchers, Killingsworth discovered that money correlated with happiness no matter what your income levels.
"Each dollar buys a little bit less happiness," he noted. "So if someone earning $20,000 a year gets a 10% raise, someone earning $200,000 gets a 10% raise, these data predict that that will deliver the same increment in happiness."
In other words, getting an extra $100 means more to someone making $20,000 than $200,000 because it's a higher percentage of that person's income.
Also of note, there's a difference between day-to-day happiness and overall life satisfaction -- the latter of which sees a sharp upswing once you cross the poverty line.
Killingsworth does caution against spending all your time trying to earn more money. People who "defined their personal success in terms of money, they tended on average to be less happy," he told me. "You want to have it, but you want to not care too much about it."
He led me to Elizabeth Dunn, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and the chief science officer at Happy Money, a financial technology company that helps people acquire personal loans.
I wanted her to help me figure out how we can squeeze the most happiness out of the money we're already making, so we can obsess a little bit less about making more. Her first piece of advice is the reason I decided to do the trapeze. She told me that we should be buying experiences instead of objects.
Dunn's research indicates "experiences often connect us with other people that we care about. So if you're going on a trip or going out for a special meal, usually it's not going to be by yourself and ... it's going to help to enrich your relationships."
But perhaps more instrumental as to why I did the trapeze, Dunn noted that "experiences seem to be more deeply connected to our sense of self." When people look back on their spending on experiences, "they tend to feel that this is really more about who they are."
Did buying an experience instead of an object get me to a greater happiness level? Yes, it actually did, even though I hate heights.
I've watched the video of me on the trapeze a number of times. I've shared that clip with some of my friends, and I've told the story of flying through the air to many.
It's really a gift that keeps on giving. I didn't just buy an experience; I bought a story I could share over and over. I think the trapeze experience has gotten better the further I am from it. There's a real sense of nostalgia, even though it was only a few weeks ago.
So how can you get the most amount of the money you already make beyond just buying experience? Dunn has a bunch of other tips, but you'll have to tune in to the podcast to hear them. | https://www.kcra.com/article/money-may-buy-some-happiness/40132178 | 2022-05-28T13:47:42Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/money-may-buy-some-happiness/40132178 | true | 11 |

No though given as to the legalities of the final assignment. No mention of a waiver to be signed of the person you are interviewing. Even though the assignment maybe marked as private so the public may not be able to hear it. It is accessible by fellow students and it involves an employees work performance and trying to coach and counsel them. No thought was given to the possible embarrassment of the employee interviewed or recorded. Also many states have statutes in regards to recording a private conversation. This was a bad idea for an assignment.

Good examples...a little hokey pokey, but still good to see a good example of the coach in action. The fact that you are required to do a video of your own is not comfortable, but necessary to actually do it and not be intimidated by it!

The peer reviews did NOTHING to help me learn.
I think it would have been better to give a scenario and then have us coach that. Make it more personal and relatable.

I've enjoyed the material/ideas in this course and the way Kris Plachy presented the information. I do like her Introductions before content, and then ending each lecture with her Summary. And definitely enjoy her Podcasts during the course, they are very valuable and reinforcing. (I also appreciate her 'signature chuckle' ... gotta love it.) .... M

NEW DELHI: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan held a special screening of his upcoming comedy-drama 'Laal Singh Chaddha' on Saturday (May 28). While the official trailer of the film will be unveiled by the makers on Sunday, on the IPL 2022 finale, the actor was spotted treating himself with some golgappas.
In a video shared by a paparazzo account on Instagram, Aamir was also seen posing for pictures, as he was surrounded by his fans in Juhu. As the video started, Aamir was seen smiling as he held golgappas in his hand. He nodded his head when a woman told him something. The actor then put the snack in his mouth and gestured to the vendor that it was good. The person offered Aamir another piece, which he smilingly accepted.
Aamir was dressed in a white t-shirt under a pink shirt, blue pants and brown shoes. The actor also smiled and posed for pictures. In some of the photos, he hugged and posed with 'Laal Singh Chaddha' director Advait Chandan.
Aamir Khan has actively been promoting his film at cricket events. Meanwhile, sharing an update on the film's trailer release, Aamir Khan wrote in an Instagram post, "Catch the Laal Singh Chaddha trailer live from the 1st innings, 2nd timeout of the T20 Finals tomorrow."
This morning, he posted a video along with cricketers Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh. He was just about to show them the trailer, when co-star Kareena called. "Kareena Kapoor comes to #AamirKhan 's rescue! Now watch the trailer only on 29th May T20 finals 1st innings second time out," read the caption on the post shared by Aamir Khan Productions' Instagram page.
Speaking of the film, the comedy-drama also features Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh. The film is adapted from the Hollywood movie 'Forrest Gump', which was released in 1994. 'Laal Singh Chaddha' will be released in theatres on August 11, 2022. The film marks Telugu star Naga Chaitanya's Bollywood debut. | https://zeenews.india.com/people/aamir-khan-spotted-eating-golgappas-in-mumbai-during-laal-singh-chaddha-promotions-watch-2468241.html | 2022-05-28T14:10:57Z | https://zeenews.india.com/people/aamir-khan-spotted-eating-golgappas-in-mumbai-during-laal-singh-chaddha-promotions-watch-2468241.html | true | 1 |

Bytecoin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “Bytecoin (BCN) is the first currency based on the CryptoNote technology and launched back in July, 2012. BCN protects your privacy with completely untraceable and anonymous transactions so it is deservedly called the next generation anonymous cryptocurrency. It is a fully independent currency which has been developing separately from Bitcoin and its forks. The basis for the creation of Bytecoin was the CryptoNote unique technology. “
Buying and Selling Bytecoin
It is usually not presently possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as Bytecoin directly using US dollars.

USB-C was supposed to solve a well-known problem for PC users: to concentrate the maximum number of functions – charging, data transfer, video – in a single, unique connector. Unfortunately, this fantasy is still unrealistic, quite the contrary, it is still a huge mess with regard to cables, and unfortunately USB-C tends to complicate matters.
How to find the right USB-C cable
What is Thunderbolt/USB 4 in M1 Macs?
In the new version of Chrome OS (102), Chromebooks with an Intel chip 11 and above will display notifications if the USB-C cable connected to the computer is missing functionality. For example: It does not support DisplayPort, USB4, or even Thunderbolt. A USB-C cable can also be less efficient than the device it’s connected to (it’s 20Gbps while a Chromebook port can go up to 40Gbps).
in His great wisdomThe USB Implementers Forum has come up with logos indicating maximum charging and data transfer power, but there’s no mention of a DisplayPort anywhere. Moreover, one would think that the proliferation of logos is likely to generate great confusion for the user.
Suddenly we find ourselves dreaming about the same thing at Apple, whether on macOS or iOS.

Ask someone to picture a typical gamer, and they might describe a teenage boy alone with their television or at a computer and frantically pressing buttons on a controller. While it’s a common stereotype, it’s not accurate.
Contrary to popular belief, the average age of a video gamer in Canada is 34, and they are equally split between male and female, according to data from the Entertainment Software Association of Canada. What’s more, about 23 million Canadians, or roughly 61 per cent of the population, play games.
Among the most popular genres out there are racing games, where virtual thrills let players live out their driving fantasies. From lighthearted arcade racers to detail rich simulations, here are a few good driving games that will have you revving your engine.
Gran Turismo 7
While there was the 2017 offshoot Gran Turismo Sport, PlayStation gamers have been waiting for this long-awaited sequel to its popular series for nine years.
Developed by Japan’s Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Gran Turismo 7 once again lets you virtually partake in white-knuckle races across several of the world’s most respected racing tracks, from the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in Brazil to the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in California.
You can climb into more than 420 authentically recreated supercars, each with unique handling, and choose between several modes of play, including Arcade, Driving School and the more realistic GT Simulation, which allows you to buy, tune up and race vehicles. In the multiplayer GT Sport mode, you can challenges other players — no matter where they are in the world — to a race. The game retails for $79.99.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
A lot more arcade-like than a deep racing simulation, Nintendo’s Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit lets you race a Mario Kart through your own home with augmented reality technology. Use the Nintendo Switch system to control your kart and watch as it reacts to what’s happening in the game, as you boost and drift to victory.
You can place virtual gates and objects to customize the courses, then see them come to life with different in-game environments, like jungles and snowscapes, and obstacles such as Piranha Plants.
Great idea, and appropriate for players of all ages. The game costs $129.99.
Also available for Nintendo Switch is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — Booster Course Pass, a collection of 48 remastered courses that will roll out throughout this year and can be downloaded as part of the popular Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game. The courses include Tokyo Blur and Paris Promenade, along with fan favourites like Choco Mountain and Wii Coconut Mall.
You can purchase the content on its own for $32.99, but it is already included in a Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack Membership ($63.99 per year), which also grants you access to classic Nintendo 64 games and SEGA Genesis games.
Forza Horizon 5
Xbox and Windows PC gamers can hop into the driver’s seat of Forza Horizon 5, to take command of hundreds of customizable cars and other vehicles and race through a variety of places in Mexico — from historic cities and vast deserts to sun-kissed beaches and ancient ruins. Younger or less experienced players might want to tackle some solo modes first, racing against the game’s artificial intelligence, before challenging other drivers from around the world.
Also new to the Forza franchise is the multiplayer Horizon Arcade, a collection of different types of minigames. This fifth game in the series is the biggest to date, with a map that’s 50 per cent larger than Forza Horizon 4. It was developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios, and includes several challenges, like the On Top of the World treasure hunt challenge and the Through the Looking Glass photo-taking task.
Forza Horizon 5 costs $79 but is also part of Xbox Game Pass, an $11.99 monthly subscription service that lets you play more than 100 high-quality games on Xbox or a Windows PC, or for $16.99 per month to access on both platforms.
Gear.Club: Stradale
All revved up but with no game console to play on? There are a few games also available for smartphones and tablets. Available from Eden Games, Gear.Club: Stradale (available through Apple Arcade for $5.99 per month) takes place in Italy — mostly in the beautiful Tuscany region — and lets you buy, upgrade and race supercars from many of the world's top automotive brands, including Porsche, Bugatti, McLaren, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Nissan and Bentley.
Along with solo matches to sharpen your skills, you can complete against friends in various races, engage in special events (taking place daily, weekly and monthly), take part in worldwide competitions and work your way up the global leaderboard of best players.
Asphalt 9: Legends
Finally, Gameloft’s gorgeous Asphalt 9: Legends, available for Apple, Android and Windows devices, is a “freemium” game — there is no cost to start playing but there are optional in-game purchases — that sees you boost and drift past your rivals in more than a dozen real-world locations.
You can collect, customize and race more than 150 vehicles (from the likes of Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini) and complete in more than 900 solo career events or live 8-player races. | https://www.thestar.com/autos/2022/05/28/get-your-motor-running-climbing-behind-the-wheel-of-todays-top-car-racing-games.html | 2022-05-28T14:15:54Z | https://www.thestar.com/autos/2022/05/28/get-your-motor-running-climbing-behind-the-wheel-of-todays-top-car-racing-games.html | false | 1 |
Two Milwaukee men died in overnight homicides, police say; investigations are underway
Milwaukee police are investigating two homicides, one of them believed to be related to domestic violence, early Saturday.
The violence comes as the city heads into Memorial Day weekend with a focus on public safety after high-profile shootings downtown and an overall rise in homicides this year, continuing an alarming trend seen over the past two years.
Multiple community groups have events planned for the weekend promoting peace and positivity, including the 10th Annual Heal the Hood which takes place from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday on Wright Street, between North 1st Street and North Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
Early Saturday, police said a 50-year-old Milwaukee man was the victim of a homicide reported about 3:45 a.m. in the 5200 block of W. Lisbon Ave.
A 43-year-old man, also from Milwaukee, received life-threatening injuries in the same incident and was taken to a hospital, police said. Police did not immediately specify how the man died, but dispatch records show officers were notified of a shooting in that area at the same time. No arrests have been made in the incident.
The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office did not confirm early Saturday if the man died of suspected gunshot injuries, citing the non-disclosure placed on the report from the Milwaukee Police Department because of the ongoing investigation.
At about 2:40 a.m., police were called to a homicide in the 4200 block of W. Bonny Place, about a block away from the intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Center Street.
A 36-year-old Milwaukee man died in an apparent shooting. Officers arrested a man, 22, and a woman, 33, both of Milwaukee, and seized two guns, according to a news release. Charges are pending in that case, which is believed to be related to domestic violence, police said.
Hours earlier, a teenager was injured in a shooting on West Appleton Avenue near West Villard Avenue.
The shooting was reported at about 8:10 p.m. and the 18-year-old man is expected to survive his injuries, according to police. No arrests have been reported.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is asked to call Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360 or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-Tips or P3 Tips App.

Atmosphere in A’bad division becoming tense over university bifurcation

Aurangabad, May 28:
The atmosphere in the Aurangabad division is becoming tense gradually over the bifurcation issue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu).
It may be noted that there is long pending demand from the residents of Osmanabad district to have a separate university because of the distance between Bamu’s city campus and Osmanabad.
There are four districts in the Aurangabad division, namely Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad. Colleges from all divisions were affiliated with Bamu.
Bamu administration established a sub-centre in Osmanabad which has several departments, considering the demand. The State Government set up a committee to study the demand a year ago but, it did not start the study because of Covid. With the decline in Covid cases, the panel visited Osmanabad recently and met representatives of local social, political and educational organisations.
Box
Anger in Ambedkarite organisaitons
Ambedkarite organisations members are angry over the demand of Osmanabad people. They feel that this is a disrespect to the university which was named after Dr Ambedkar. Meanwhile, ink was thrown on Management Council member Sanjay Nimbalkar who is from Osmanabad and was on the city campus to attend the MC meeting on Friday.
Box
Repercussions in Osmanabad
After this incident, political and social leaders from Osmanabad, cutting across the line across the party, were united for a separate university. Demonstrating on Saturday, they said that 30 per cent of students cannot take higher education because of distance and a poor economic condition in the district. This is also causing a rise in suicide cases.
Box
There are 440 colleges in the four districts with 4.50 lakh students. The city and Osmanabad sub-centre have 52 departments with more than 3,000 students.
Box
Imp developments
--The university was established on August 23, 1958,
--Marathwada’s University name extension as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University done in 1994
--Demand for a separate university at Osmanabad was made in 2003 first time
--Bamu started a sub-centre in Osmanabad in 2004
--State Government set up a committee in 2021
-The panel visits Osmanabad and takes reviews of facilities, and infrastructure on May 24, 2022.

The actions — or more notably, the inaction — of a school district police chief and other law enforcement officers moved swiftly to the center of the investigation into this week's shocking school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,
The delay in confronting the shooter — who was inside the school for more than an hour — could lead to discipline, lawsuits and even criminal charges against police.
The attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead in a fourth grade classroom was the nation's deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade, and for three days police offered a confusing and sometimes contradictory timeline that drew public anger and frustration.
By Friday, authorities acknowledged that students and teachers repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while the police chief told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway at Robb Elementary School. Officials said he believed that the suspect was barricaded inside adjoining classrooms and that there was no longer an active attack.
The chief's decision — and the officers' apparent willingness to follow his directives against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, and who should be held responsible.
“In these cases, I think the court of public opinion is far worse than any court of law or police department administrative trial,” said Joe Giacalone, a retired New York police sergeant. “This has been handled so terribly on so many levels, there will be a sacrificial lamb here or there.”
As the gunman fired at students, law enforcement officers from other agencies urged the school police chief to let them move in because children were in danger, two law enforcement officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to talk publicly about the investigation.
One of the officials said audio recordings from the scene capture officers from other agencies telling the school police chief that the shooter was still active and that the priority was to stop him. But it wasn’t clear why the school chief ignored their warnings.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who at a news conference earlier in the week lauded the police for saving lives, said he had been misled about the initial response and promised there would be investigations into “exactly who knew what, when, who was in charge” and what they did.
“The bottom line would be: Why did they not choose the strategy that would have been best to get in there and to eliminate the killer and to rescue the children?” Abbott said.
Criminal charges are rarely pursued against law enforcement in school shootings. A notable exception was the former school resource officer accused of hiding during the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that that left 17 people dead.
Potential administrative punishments — meted out by the department itself — could range from a suspension or docked pay to forced resignation or retirement or outright termination.
In terms of civil liability, the legal doctrine called “qualified immunity,” which shields police officers from lawsuits unless their actions violate clearly established laws, could also be at play in future litigation.
The Uvalde School District police chief, Pete Arredondo, decided that the group of officers should wait to confront the assailant, on the belief that the active attack was over, according to Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The crisis ended shortly after officers used keys from a janitor to open the classroom door, entered the room and shot and killed Ramos.
Arredondo could not be reached for comment Friday, and Uvalde officers were stationed outside his home, but they would not say why.
Prosecutors will have to decide whether Arredondo's decision and the officers' inaction constituted a tragic mistake or criminal negligence, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor who is a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
Levenson said prosecutors could bring state felony charges of criminally negligent homicide, though she said federal civil rights charges would be unlikely because they require intent.
“I don’t know that we expect every officer to make a perfect decision on the spot," she said. "But waiting this long — given what we know about how shooters act — predictably leads to tragedy.”
In the Parkland case, former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson is scheduled to go to trial in September on charges of child neglect resulting in great bodily harm, culpable negligence and perjury. He has said he did the best he could at the time.
The “unprecedented and irresponsible” decision by Florida prosecutors to bring a criminal case against Peterson might lead to other police elsewhere being “stripped of their liberty" and facing decades in prison "solely because a finding is made after the fact that things could have been handled differently,” Mark Eiglarsh, the former deputy’s attorney, said in an email.
Maria Haberfeld, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said the police department's policies, procedures and training will be scrutinized to see whether the officers on the ground in Uvalde followed them.
If they did, and criminal charges are still brought, she said it would send a chilling message to police nationwide. "If you follow your procedures, you’re still brought up on charges. So what’s the point of having procedures?” she said.
But Jorge Colina, a former Miami police chief, wants to know more about what was going through the minds of the officers inside the school as the chief told them to wait in the hall.
“Did someone challenge the decision there?” he said. “Did someone raise an objection at least?”

The actions — or more notably, the inaction — of a school district police chief and other law enforcement officers moved swiftly to the center of the investigation into this week’s shocking school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,
The delay in confronting the shooter — who was inside the school for more than an hour — could lead to discipline, lawsuits and even criminal charges against police.
The attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead in a fourth grade classroom was the nation’s deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade, and for three days police offered a confusing and sometimes contradictory timeline that drew public anger and frustration.
By Friday, authorities acknowledged that students and teachers repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while the police chief told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway at Robb Elementary School. Officials said he believed that the suspect was barricaded inside adjoining classrooms and that there was no longer an active attack.
The chief’s decision — and the officers’ apparent willingness to follow his directives against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, and who should be held responsible.

It’s unfortunate for all of the non-smokers here in B.C., that smoking in public, in parks, around buildings … seems to be on the rise in a big way. And, added to that, the offensive and dangerous fumes from weed are now part of the mix.
After years of seeing tobacco smoking stats going down, this is not progress or welcome for anyone who values fresh air, a clean, sustainable environment and their personal health being protected.
Also something that is just plain sad is the number of pet owners who have no problem subjecting their dogs and cats to the dangers of weed and tobacco second-hand smoke. A quick browse of the internet provides numerous studies on just how dangerous this is for the health of any pet.
It’s bad enough when smokers have no problem with destroying their own health. But to subject innocent animals to this kind of noxious environment, day after day amounts to outright cruelty. If you must smoke, at least have the decency not to have pets. They don’t deserve to be the victims of your bad choices. They deserve so much better.

WEYBRIDGE, Vt. (AP) — The remains of a Revolutionary War soldier are being moved to another resting place in Vermont this Memorial Day weekend because erosion threatens some of the graves at an old cemetery near a river bank.
Revolutionary War soldier Josiah Clark, who fought in the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts, was buried in the Stow cemetery in Weybridge in 1835. Erosion over the years left his grave perched on the edge of a steep eroding bank, so his bones were exhumed in 2019.
On Saturday morning, a horse-drawn wagon will carry a flag-draped coffin containing Clark from the congregational church to another cemetery nearby for a reinternment ceremony, said Tom Giffin, president of the Vermont Old Cemetery Association, who has been working on the project for years. The procession will be led by an Honor Guard from the Middlebury American Legion and a bagpiper with a flag display provided by veterans of the Vermont Patriot Guard Riders, organizers said.
“I can't think of a more appropriate Memorial Day than this,” Giffin said.
The rest of the roughly 20 graves will also be moved to the Old Weybridge Hill Cemetery eventually, including the remains of Revolutionary War soldier William Haven. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Remains-of-Revolutionary-War-soldier-to-be-17205237.php | 2022-05-28T14:33:02Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Remains-of-Revolutionary-War-soldier-to-be-17205237.php | true | 13 |

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Wayne Black was one of the few African Americans in the crowd as about 100 people gathered recently at the Republican Party headquarters near Columbus, Georgia, to hear from U.S. Senate candidate and football legend Herschel Walker.
A member of the Muscogee County Republican Executive Committee, Black said he found a certain promise in Walker's candidacy, a GOP voice who could appeal to African Americans and others in Georgia who have traditionally voted Democratic.
“They identify with him from the standpoint of the American dream,” Black said. “You can start from nothing and if you work hard, you can achieve the American dream.”
But that optimism ran into headwinds about 100 miles to the north. As she left an Atlanta polling site, Wyvonia Carter said her choice in what might be the most competitive Senate race this year was not particularly complicated.
“You know I’m Black, right?” the 84 year-old said. “I’m a Democrat. That’s it.”
In this Deep South state where the painful history of slavery, segregation and racial injustice is ever-present, voters for the first time have selected two Black candidates to represent the major parties in a Senate race. After handily winning their respective primaries on Tuesday, Walker will take on Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in a general election campaign that could help decide control of the Senate.
The race will test whether Democratic gains in 2020 were a blip or the start of a political realignment in a rapidly changing state. In November 2020, Joe Biden was the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state in 28 years, and just two months later, Warnock and fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff flipped two longtime Republican Senate seats, handing their party a narrow majority in the Senate.
Black voters were crucial in helping Democrats secure those victories and will likely be decisive again this year.
The issue is less about whether Walker will break the bond that Black voters have had with Democratic candidates. It is more about whether Black voters, frustrated by a lack of progress in Washington on issues ranging from a policing overhaul to voting rights, simply sit this election out. In a close election, even a small change in voting patterns could be decisive.
Republicans hope Walker's candidacy can at least neutralize the issue of race in the campaign.
“In this race, Black Georgians will not have to contend with the race issue,” said Camilla Moore, chair of the Georgia Black Republican Council. “And I really do believe by culture, we’re socially conservative. I think Herschel just has to be Herschel and tell his conservative message.”
But in interviews in recent weeks, many Black voters said they would not give Walker a second look because of his race. They said they were driven by policy considerations, and Walker, who was backed by former President Donald Trump and is generally in line with GOP orthodoxy, does not address their needs.
Louis Harden, a 58-year-old Black voter in Atlanta, said he is backing Warnock because of the senator's support for Medicaid expansion.
“It doesn’t matter about the color,” he said. “It’s just the issues, who's going to get the job done.”
There are only a few modern instances in which two Black people have emerged as the nominees in a Senate race.
Democrat Barack Obama faced Republican radio host and former diplomat Alan Keyes in his 2004 Senate campaign in Illinois. More recently, South Carolina's Tim Scott, the Senate's only Black Republican, was unsuccessfully challenged in 2016 by Thomas Dixon, a North Charleston pastor.
But the Warnock-Walker matchup is unique because it is playing out in a far more competitive state than Illinois, a Democratic stronghold, or South Carolina, where Republicans are dominant. Also, the candidates in Georgia are already well known, representing two institutions that are revered in the South: church and football.
Walker, among Georgia's most well-known sports figures, won a championship and the Heisman Trophy while at the University of Georgia in the 1980s. Warnock is the senior pastor at the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached.
“This is going to be a historic matchup,” said Stan Deaton, a scholar at the Georgia Historical Society.
But to make a dent in Warnock's support among Black voters, Walker will need to do more to appeal to the Black community, said Leah Wright Rigueur, a political historian at Johns Hopkins University who has written about efforts by Black Republicans to broaden the party's largely white base.
Republican candidates who do well among African American voters have the ability to craft a political identity that is independent from the party, something she said Walker has not done so far. Black voters also consider how a candidate treats his or her community and may view African American candidates who stick to Republican talking points more harshly than their white counterparts, Wright Rigueur said.
“And the reason why is because it’s viewed as a betrayal," she said. “It’s viewed as community betrayal.”
Walker has largely hewed to Republican messaging about race. He has defended Trump against criticism that Trump was racist, he has accused Black Lives Matter of wanting to destroy the country and he has said “Black-on-Black crime” is far worse than violence by police. Walker has come under scrutiny over allegations that he threatened his ex-wife's life and dramatically inflated his record as a businessman.
Warnock, the pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, has embraced King's legacy of racial justice and equal rights. After the killing of George Floyd by police in May 2020, Warnock expounded on the country’s struggle with a “virus” he called “COVID-1619” for the year when some of the first slaves arrived in what is now the United States. On Capitol Hill, he has attacked Republicans’ push for tighter voting rules as “Jim Crow in new clothes.”
Warnock “has a record of fighting to improve the lives of all Georgians,” Warnock campaign manager Quentin Fulks said in a statement, citing as examples Warnock's efforts to forgive student loan debt and address the high rates of maternal mortality.
"The people of Georgia, no matter their race, will make the decision about who is up for the job and best able to represent the people of Georgia,” he said.
A spokesperson for Walker's campaign, Mallory Blount, said all Georgians, regardless of race, are facing problems created by Democrats and that Walker is “sick and tired of politicians constantly dividing people based on the color of their skin.”
Walker told a House subcommittee last year while testifying against reparations for slavery that “Black power” is used to “create white guilt.”
In his memoir, “Breaking Free,” Walker said his mother taught him that “color was invisible” and doing right or wrong was what mattered.
“I never really liked the idea that I was to represent my people,” he wrote. “My parents raised me to believe that I represented humanity — people — and not black people, white people, yellow people, or any other color or type of person.”
Still, Black Republicans in Georgia expect Walker to try hard to woo the African American community during the general election. They also believe his personal story about overcoming obstacles to reach the top ranks of college football and then the NFL will find an audience among Black voters.
“Self-determination has always been a big thing in the Black community since we got out of slavery," said Leonard Massey, who is Black and is chairman of the Chatham County Republican Party in eastern Georgia. “He actually shows how to get to the next level.”

Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], May 28 (ANI): Noting that self-reliance is the solution to several difficulties facing the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that cooperatives were a very good model of self-dependence and this has been experienced very successfully in Gujarat.
Addressing leaders of cooperative institutions on 'Sahakar Se Samriddhi' at an event here after virtually inaugurating the Nano Urea (Liquid) Plant constructed at IFFCO, Kalol, PM Modi said the government is doing all that is necessary in the interest of farmers and will continue to empower them.
"Self-reliance is the solution to several difficulties of the country and cooperatives are a very good model of self-reliance. We have experienced this very successfully in Gujarat and all of you are soldiers of this," he said.
He said Gujarat has been lucky as it got the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Sarda Patel. "The path of self-reliance through cooperatives that respected Bapu showed, it was translated on the ground by Sardar Patel. The example of the cooperative model of the dairy sector is in front of us. Today India is the largest milk producer in the country and Gujarat has a big contribution. In the past few years, the dairy sector has been growing and contributing to the rural economy," the Prime Minister said.
He said the milk-based industry expanded in Gujarat as the government imposed minimum restrictions. "The government here plays the role of facilitator, rest of the work is done by cooperatives like you or by farmers," he said.
Referring to the nano urea (Liquid) plant, he said power in a sack of urea has now been compressed into a bottle.
"Half a litre bottle of nano urea will meet the requirement of the farmers worth one sack. Imagine how much will transportation costs be reduced and benefit small farmers," the Prime Minister said.
He said such facilities will help reduce fertiliser imports.
"The plant that is inaugurated today has the capacity of producing 1.5 lakh bottles. Eight more such plants will come up in the country in the coming time. This would lead to the lessening of dependence on the urea imported from foreign countries. It would save the country's money. I hope that this innovation would not be limited to only nano urea. I believe that in the future, our farmers would get other nano fertilizers as well. Our scientists are working on the same," he said.
There are more than 84,000 societies in Gujarat in the cooperative sector and about 231 lakh members are associated with these societies. (ANI)

UN human rights chief asks China to rethink Uyghur policies
By KEN MORITSUGU
Associated Press
BEIJING (AP) — The U.N. top human rights official says she raised concerns with Chinese officials about the impact of the broad application of counterterrorism and deradicalization measures on the rights of Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim groups in China’s Xinjiang region. Michelle Bachelet visited Xinjiang as part of a six-day trip to China that ended Saturday. China’s ruling Communist Party has vehemently denied all reports of human rights violations and allegations of genocide, and it’s uncertain it would change its approach. Bachelet’s measured words will likely not sit well with activists and governments such as the United States, which have been critical of her decision to visit Xinjiang. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/05/28/un-human-rights-chief-asks-china-to-rethink-uyghur-policies/ | 2022-05-28T14:52:00Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/05/28/un-human-rights-chief-asks-china-to-rethink-uyghur-policies/ | false | null |

Nineteen points on 7-for-32 shooting.
Those were Jimmy Butler’s combined scoring numbers in Games 4 and 5 of the Eastern Conference finals as the Miami Heat saw a 2-1 series lead over the Boston Celtics turn into a 3-2 deficit.
But, with Miami on the brink of elimination in Boston, Butler bounced back on Friday — and in a major way.
Butler, who has been dealing with a knee issue since exiting Game 3, logged nearly 46 minutes and posted 47 points on 16-for-29 shooting, nine rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and just one turnover in a remarkable season-saving effort at TD Garden.
The six-time All-Star came through in the clutch as well, scoring 12 points in the final eight minutes of regulation to help close out a 111-103 win and force a Game 7.
So, after two down performances, how was Butler able to pull off that with a banged-up knee in a must-win situation on the road?
"Honestly, I got a phone call and text message from [Dwyane Wade] earlier today and he was telling me that I can do this," Butler told ESPN's Lisa Salters. "'Knee is a little banged up, but nobody cares. Go out there, continue to build your legacy.' And that meant the world to me. So I appreciate you, D-Wade."
Butler actually broke Dwyane Wade’s Heat playoff record for points scored while facing elimination of 46, which D-Wade put up against the Celtics in the 2010 first round (h/t CBS Sports' Jake Winderman). And Butler’s 47 points were second-most overall in franchise playoff history, just trailing LeBron James’ 49 against the Brooklyn Nets in the 2014 second round.
Heat fans will be hoping D-Wade delivers another motivational message to Butler ahead of Sunday night’s series-deciding Game 7 in Miami. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/how-dwyane-wade-inspired-heat-jimmy-butlers-herculean-effort-vs-celtics/2904516/ | 2022-05-28T15:02:35Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/how-dwyane-wade-inspired-heat-jimmy-butlers-herculean-effort-vs-celtics/2904516/ | true | 11 |

Who is her endgame? Nancy Wheeler’s (Natalia Dyer) dating life only got more complicated during season 4 Stranger Things — and the cast had their own thoughts about the choice between Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) or Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton).
Newcomer Eduardo Franco, who plays Argyle, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month, “I want Jonathan to be happy. Who doesn’t? Steve is a ladies’ man. Jonathan has got to be the one who [Nancy chooses],” he joked. “And if Nancy doesn’t [pick him], I got a problem with Nancy. Just kidding.”
Franco’s character played a pivotal role in season 4 as he helped guide Jonathan amid his ups and downs with Nancy. The couple were struggling to get on the same page as they both faced decisions about college and their future together.
As the new villain Vecna started to pose a threat to Hawkins, Indiana, Nancy found herself reconnecting with her ex Steve — which left the door open for a potential romance during part 2 of season 4.
According to Joe Chrest, who plays Ted Wheeler, he has always been Team Steve when it comes to Nancy’s love life. “Joe Keery and I hit it off early on. With our characters, we felt like they were almost the same guy,” Chrest, 56, shared with Us ahead of season 4. “That was Ted back when he was in high school. I am sure that is who I would want — the edgy kids you would rather stay away. Now Steve has an edge so we will see.”
Season 4 star Regina Ting Chen, however, argued that Jonathan was always meant to be with Nancy.
“I would say that I am always rooting for the underdog but actually I don’t even know who the underdog is now,” Chen, 32, who plays Ms. Kelly, explained to Us at the Stranger Things season 4 premiere in New York, noting that Steve may now be the underdog in the love triangle. “It turned! I would say Jonathan because I like going for the nerd. The more awkward they are, the better I can relate to them. So I would pick Jonathan.”
When Stranger Things debuted in 2016, Nancy was casually dating Steve before supernatural forces were unleashed in her hometown. Even though Nancy and Steve ended the season together, her time with Jonathan made her question the relationship.
During season 2, the love triangle got a shakeup when Nancy and Jonathan teamed up again. For Keery, 30, the connection between Nancy and Steve may have shifted but he hoped they would continue to stay in each other’s lives.
“I think everybody sort of still has feelings for that one person in some way or the other. You respect them. You think about them. You think about it fondly or think about it negatively,” he said during an interview with Us in 2017. “I think that Steve and Nancy are the same way. I don’t know really the fate of the relationship, but I think, or at least I hope that people find the humanity in the situation.”
Dyer, 27, for her part, also pointed out that outside forces were affecting the way the characters looked at their personal life. “I think we’re coming into all these characters dealing with the very crazy, supernatural, very quick trauma, and I think, in a way, that it forces you to grow in your relationships, therefore grow and change,” the actress added at the time. “I think that’s what’s going on with the love triangle.

LONDON: The World Health Organization says nearly 200 cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 20 countries not usually known to have outbreaks of the unusual disease, but described the epidemic as “containable” and proposed creating a stockpile to equitably share the limited vaccines and drugs available worldwide.
During a public briefing on Friday, the UN. health agency said there are still many unanswered questions about what triggered the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox outside of Africa, but there is no evidence that any genetic changes in the virus are responsible.
“The first sequencing of the virus shows that the strain is not different from the strains we can find in endemic countries and (this outbreak) is probably due more to a change in human behavior,” said Dr. Sylvie Briand, WHO’s director of pandemic and epidemic diseases.
Earlier this week, a top adviser to WHO said the outbreak in Europe, US, Israel, Australia and beyond was likely linked to sex at two recent raves in Spain and Belgium. That marks a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and outbreaks haven’t spilled across borders.
Although WHO said nearly 200 monkeypox cases have been reported, that seemed a likely undercount.
On Friday, Spanish authorities said the number of cases there had risen to 98, including one woman, whose infection is “directly related” to a chain of transmission that had been previously limited to men, according to officials in the region of Madrid.
UK officials added 16 more cases to their monkeypox tally, making Britain’s total 106. And Portugal said its caseload jumped to 74 cases on Friday.
WHO’s Briand said that based on how past outbreaks of the disease in Africa have evolved, the current situation appeared “containable.”
Still, she said WHO expected to see more cases reported in the future, noting “we don’t know if we are just seeing the peak of the iceberg (or) if there are many more cases that are undetected in communities,” she said.
As countries including Britain, Germany, Canada and the US begin evaluating how smallpox vaccines might be used to curb the outbreak, WHO said its expert group was assessing the evidence and would provide guidance soon.
Dr. Rosamund Lewis, head of WHO’s smallpox department, said that “there is no need for mass vaccination,” explaining that monkeypox does not spread easily and typically requires skin-to-skin contact for transmission.
No vaccines have been specifically developed against monkeypox, but WHO estimates that smallpox vaccines are about 85 percent effective.
She said countries with vaccine supplies could consider them for those at high risk of the disease, like close contacts of patients or health workers, but that monkeypox could mostly be controlled by isolating contacts and continued epidemiological investigations.
Given the limited global supply of smallpox vaccines, WHO’s emergencies chief Dr. Mike Ryan said the agency would be working with its member countries to potentially develop a centrally controlled stockpile, similar to the ones it has helped manage to distribute during outbreaks of yellow fever, meningitis, and cholera in countries that can’t afford them.
“We’re talking about providing vaccines for a targeted vaccination campaign, for targeted therapeutics,” Ryan said.
“So the volumes don’t necessarily need to be big, but every country may need access to a small amount of vaccine.”
Most monkeypox patients experience only fever, body aches, chills and fatigue.
People with more serious illness may develop a rash and lesions on the face and hands that can spread to other parts of the body. | https://yemenwatch.com/who-nearly-200-cases-of-monkeypox-reported-in-more-than-20-countries/ | 2022-05-28T15:21:20Z | https://yemenwatch.com/who-nearly-200-cases-of-monkeypox-reported-in-more-than-20-countries/ | false | 48 |
POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – The lawyer for a pregnant woman arrested last week in connection to an incident at a Florida McDonald’s is accusing the Polk County sheriff of ridiculing and mocking her.
“The world may see Sheriff Grady Judd as the class clown of all of the Florida sheriffs departments,” said Jeremy McLymont, the attorney for Tianis Jones, in a news conference Friday. “I see him as someone who is very dangerous to our judicial system.”
Sheriff Judd held a news conference last Friday to discuss the May 19 incident, during which Jones, 22, was accused of having an outburst at the Lakeland McDonald’s and becoming “enraged” after trouble with her online order. In video of the incident, Jones can be seen slapping items off the counter before going behind the register and tossing cups on the floor. She also called 911 during the incident to complain, and stopped to twerk as she was leaving the restaurant.
At the news conference, Sheriff Judd called Jones “McMad.”
“I don’t know why this woman got as angry as she was, but as the saying goes, she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal,” the sheriff said.
Video of the incident, and the sheriff’s commentary, has been viewed millions of times online.
At a news conference organized by Jones’ legal team, Jones said she did not have a reaction to the video, other than “getting justice.”
McLymont, her lawyer, says Jones has bipolar disorder and depression, and was not taking her medication due to her pregnancy. She was upset over a dispute concerning her food order and not getting a refund, which was also the reason she called 911, according to McLymont.
Sheriff Judd, last Friday, suggested that Jones and her legal team only brought up her pregnancy and mental health issues as an “excuse.”
Clayton Cowart, a local civil rights leader, criticized Sheriff Judd for the comments.
“Stick to McPolicing, stay out of the McCamera and stop trying to be a McMovie Star, mental illness is real,” said Cowart.
Jones is facing charges of burglary with assault, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and misuse of 911.
“[Sheriff Judd’s] unprofessional and dangerous comments stand to taint any potential jury pool that Ms. Tianis could potentially have in this case,” said McLymont.
The sheriff dismissed allegations his comments would taint a jury pool if the case were to go to trial.
“Do you think anybody’s gonna pay any attention to a press conference today at a jury trial a year or two or three years down the road? That’s nonsense,” said Sheriff Judd. | https://www.abc4.com/news/top-stories/lawyer-for-woman-arrested-at-mcdonalds-accuses-sheriff-of-ridiculing-her-with-happy-meal-comment/ | 2022-05-28T15:33:08Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/top-stories/lawyer-for-woman-arrested-at-mcdonalds-accuses-sheriff-of-ridiculing-her-with-happy-meal-comment/ | true | 17 |

SHAFAQNA-Michelle Bachelet, the UN human rights chief, investigation has been stymied by Beijing and expediency.
Michelle Bachelet, has staked her reputation and that of the 193-member organisation on an investigation into China’s crimes against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
The former Chilean president, long considered a contender to be the first woman head of the UN, this week made a landmark trip to the north-western Chinese region where 1mn Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities have been subjected to mass internments, forced labour and re-education camps, as well as draconian tech-based surveillance and police persecution.
However, despite her personal experiences of repression and a sterling reputation among UN peers, hopes are dim that Bachelet will learn anything of value about China’s security apparatus and the plight of the Uyghurs.
Nor is she expected to persuade Beijing to change course. Instead, critics said, her tightly controlled mission has been undermined by relentless Chinese obstruction, refutations of wrongdoing and propaganda. The trip has also highlighted years of international failings to hold President Xi Jinping’s administration to account amid China’s rising influence at the UN.

I used to have a lot of fear when studying statistics and have encountered so many failures in learning statistics. However, I kept on learning and signing up for this course, to my amazement, Dr Prashan taught the course with so much ease and he made me felt like he is sitting right next to me and going through with me with a tone like a older uncle who just tell me exactly what I need to know. I take this course one whole day from about after dinner right to 3 AM in the morning and I learned so much and so confident that I can do real useful regression for business forecasting. I want to thank Dr Prashan for his time and dedication and make a hard subject so easy so I can finally nail the subject. I know the course was meant not to be very academically comprehensive rather it is a useful no-nonsense and get-to-the-point course yet it gave me so much fundamentals and confidence I already sign-up and complete other more advanced courses. I wish Dr Prashan all the best and thank you for his work and I just imagine how many students like me who have learned so much thanks to his wonderful teaching. Everyone says WOW

Exceptionally well presented. You will learn statistics and forecasting with the added benefit of learning how to conduct such analysis in Excel. There were a few minor errors it seems in some of the quizzes and assessments but nothing that would not cause a major impact in one's grade.

- Women who spoke about their weddings in viral TikToks say they've been labeled "bridezillas."
- All three shared videos discussing personal wedding preferences and got negative responses.
- One told Insider the term needs to be canceled while another said it was rooted in sexism.
Three women who went viral on TikTok for discussing their weddings say they've gotten comments labeling them as "bridezillas" when they talk about their preferences.
And all of them say it's time to do away with the term.
The word "bridezilla" dates back to 1995, according to Grammarist. It blends two words, "bride" and "Godzilla," to create a word to describe a bride or bride-to-be who's difficult or disrespectful in planning her wedding.
Weddings experts who discussed the concept of bridezillas with Insider's Samantha Grindell said common examples include going over budget with the wedding or instructing members of the bridal party to lose weight .
But more and more, the term is being used to describe women who simply have preferences for their weddings, Jully Patel said. The newlywed previously spoke to Insider about a TikTok where she talked about rules her bridesmaids followed, which included no red lipstick or necklaces.
She said that while most of the comments on her video, which has since been viewed over 5.5 million times, were positive, the 10% that were negative came from people calling her out for simply having rules in place for her wedding.
Getting stressed about such a big event is 'only natural,' Patel says
"If the bride is being outright mean and rude to any bridesmaid, family members, guests, that's not OK," said Patel, who married her husband Shahil in August.
But it's a different story when she and other women are being labeled bridezillas for having certain preferences, she added.
Patel said weddings are "hyped up" for your entire life, so it makes sense brides would want to have rules in place to help manage that.
"It's the bride who's kind of doing everything, making sure everything goes as planned," she said. "It's so much stress that naturally you're gonna get flustered."
"With the whole bridezilla thing, that word just needs to be canceled," Patel added.
People 'love to relish in negativity,' another bride said
Samantha Twist, a TikToker who married her husband Cameron in October 2020, said she also experienced being labeled a bridezilla online and by her guests. Twist, who has since made her account private, told Insider there's a good reason brides are stressed on their wedding days.
"You grow up, you watch 'The Wedding Planner,' you watch all these movies," Twist said. "Everybody says it's such an important day."
Twist said "everybody went crazy" when she and her husband wanted to have a color-coordinated dress code. She said around 10 of their 50 guests had an issue with it, and nearly all of the negativity was directed at her, not her husband.
"It was actually crazy because he was so involved," Twist said. "At least our immediate families knew that he was so involved."
When the TikTok she posted about the experience got picked up by The New York Post, The Independent, The Sun, and The Mirror, it was clear this story of a woman being painted as a bridezilla was popular. But why?
Twist said it comes down to people enjoying criticizing others. "Some people were so mad," she said. "People just love to relish in negativity."
'Bridezilla' is rooted in sexism, according to a bride-to-be
Paige Bruggink, a bride-to-be who's sharing attainable wedding advice TikToks in the lead-up to tying the knot with her partner on New Year's Eve, said the term bridezilla isn't just bad, it's sexist.
"It's used to vilify women who are trying to plan an event," Bruggink said, adding that was labeled a bridezilla after posting a previous video when she mentioned she was going to have a wedding dress code.
She said brides are "trying to people-please hundreds of people, and they're trying to make sure everyone's happy and be a good host on a day that's supposed to, in theory, be about them and the person that they love."
"But they want to make sure everyone else is happy and then they're stressed about it, and then people want to vilify them," she added.
"It's just ultimately based in sexism," she said. "So, I think it should be canceled." | https://www.insider.com/bridezilla-needs-to-be-canceled-according-to-brides-2022-5 | 2022-05-28T15:59:40Z | https://www.insider.com/bridezilla-needs-to-be-canceled-according-to-brides-2022-5 | false | 2 |

The West Bengal government is planning to amend the law to remove Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar as 'visitor' of private universities in the state and appoint the education minister in his place, a senior official said on Saturday. A discussion in this regard was held during Thursday's state cabinet meeting and the process has already been started, he said. The development comes amid the state cabinet's decision to make Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee the chancellor of state-run varsities, replacing the governor.

"There is a proposal for altering the law so that the governor can be replaced by the education minister as the 'visitor' of private varsities. In Thursday's Cabinet meeting, there was a discussion on this and the proposal was supported by the members," the official told PTI. "Hopefully, the next meeting will give its approval," he said, adding that the government will explore the legal options in this regard soon. As per the West Bengal government's policy and guidelines for setting up private universities, the governor has to be appointed the 'visitor' and he can preside over the convocations.
The 'visitor' also has the power to call for any paper or information relating to the affairs of the universities. The official said that the government was open to take an ordinance route if the governor does not clear the proposed bill for making the chief minister the chancellor of state-run varsities.
The governor, by virtue of his position, is the chancellor of all state-run universities. The decisions of the TMC government come amid a bitter turf war with the governor over several issues, including some relating to the running of universities. Dhankhar earlier alleged that vice-chancellors of 24 universities have been "appointed illegally without the chancellor's approval".
After the vice-chancellors of the private universities skipped a meeting called by him in Raj Bhavan in December last year, he had hit out at the ruling dispensation in the state.

North India’s first biotech park inaugurated in J-K’s Kathua
- Country:
- India
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday inaugurated north India’s first industrial Biotech Park in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, saying “it will act as hub for incubation of new ideas”.
He said the central government through the department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, has taken a number of initiatives to accelerate the growth of biotechnology by promoting development of innovative technologies, infrastructure, human resources and industry, which has helped the sector to gain global visibility.
“This is the historic day for J&K as the name of Kathua is now listed among those developed regions of India where biotech parks have been established, attracting innovations and research not only from the country but from the whole world,” Singh, the minister of state in the Prime Minister’s office, said after inaugurating the park along with J&K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.
Singh, who represents Udhampur Parliamentary constituency, said that the next 25 years are very crucial for this country and when India would be celebrating its 100 years of independence in 2047, the youth of Kathua would be among the great contributors towards making India a ‘Vishwa Guru’ (World leader).
“Kathua is, because of its resource richness with diversity as well as its geographical location, destined to be North India's StartUp destination,” he said. Singh said the Biotech Park would act as hub for incubation of new ideas and will act as a robust platform to support the Agri-entrepreneurs, Startups, progressive farmers, scientists, scholars and students not only from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh but also from nearby states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.
“The biotechnology park at Kathua has a potential to produce 25 startups in a year which will be among its great contributions to this region,” the local MP said, adding with the unlocking of space technology in India under Modi, 60 startups have been established in only one-and-a-half-years.
He said under Prime Minister Narendra Modi without any regional bias, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has seen a new dawn of development in education, health infrastructure, science and technology. He also said that the need is to change the erstwhile government job mindset first among the elders and then youth when the government has created greatest avenues for youth in the name of lucrative start-ups under ‘Start-Up India, Stand-Up India’.
He said the startup revolution has now started in J&K, the start-ups under Aroma Mission being the best starting points under it, creating household names in India like Bharat Bhushan, the brand ambassador of Aroma Mission in India who not only doubled but quadrupled his income in only a few years.
The Minister emphasised that the StartUps must be sustainable and connected to the livelihood which is the actual mantra of this government creating greater employment opportunities under StartUps. “The ‘Botlabs’ is the best example of a sustainable startup connected to livelihood which flew 1000 drones during the beating retreat ceremony and are now earning in millions for sponsoring the drone shows in the country,” he said.
He said Northeast is now the best example of change in India attracting StartUps across the country. “J&K too has a potential to become the prime destination for start-ups with resources diversity,” he said, adding the facilities like herbal extraction, fermentation, analytical lab, distillation, micro-propagation, plant tissue culture would be available in Biotech Park besides the provision of technology incubation, training and skill development.
Singh said the work on the two Industrial Biotech Parks, one at Ghatti in Kathua and other in Handwara in north Kashmir jointly funded by union Ministry of Science and Technology and Jammu & Kashmir Science, Technology & Innovation Council was started in February 2019.
CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, (CSIR-IIIM) Jammu has been entrusted with the responsibility of implementation of this project.
Singh said this biotech park will carry out research on biodiversity, medicinal and aromatic plants of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and it will also promote green category businesses.
He said the Department of Biotechnology has established Biotechnology Parks and Incubators across the country to translate research into products and services by providing necessary infrastructure support.
“These Biotechnology Parks offer facilities to Scientists, and Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) for technology incubation, technology demonstration and pilot plant studies for accelerated commercial development of Biotechnology. The Biotech Parks of J&K are among 9 Biotechnology Parks supported by the Department of Biotechnology in various States,” he said.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — On May 25, Joshua Duggar, 34, was sentenced to over 12 and a half years in federal prison following his December 2021 conviction on child pornography charges.
In addition to handing down a prison term of 151 months, Judge Timothy L. Brooks of the Western District of Arkansas Federal Court in Fayetteville also stipulated that Duggar will have 20 years of supervised release after that. He added some “special conditions” to the terms, noting that some of them were not “typical.”
Duggar “shall have no unsupervised contact with minors.” The judge specifically stated that Duggar must “proceed with caution” regarding any event that might include minors. He needs to receive prior approval from the U.S. Probation Office before “attending any such place, function, or event.”
Duggar must submit his person, residence, place of employment, vehicles, papers, computers and any other electronic devices or storage media for search “at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner” anytime there is suspicion that he may have violated any condition of his supervised release.
“The defendant shall not possess, use, or have access to a computer or any other electronic device that has Internet or photograph storage capabilities without prior advance notice and approval of the U.S. Probation Office,” the sentencing document says. Duggar must also pay for internet-monitoring software to be installed on any approved devices. Judge Brooks voiced specific concerns about Duggar potentially having such devices if he returns to working in a self-employed capacity. The defendant must submit to random searches of any devices.
Duggar may not “purchase, possess, use, distribute, or administer marijuana,” and he may not possess a medical marijuana card or prescription. A ban on other controlled substances was addressed earlier in sentencing, as were stipulations that Duggar is never to own or possess a firearm and that he must submit to random DNA collection.
He must participate in a sex offense-specific treatment program and pay for it himself “if financially able.”
He will also “be required to submit to periodic polygraph testing at the discretion of the probation offices as a means to ensure that he is in compliance with the requirements of his supervision or treatment program.”
Defense attorney Justin Gelfand objected to this condition, citing the “lack of reliability coupled with potential ramifications” regarding polygraph testing. He added that such tests are usually inadmissible as evidence in court.
Judge Brooks countered by calling them “just kind of routine” in many districts, and noted that they would be used as a part of future treatment, not as “a tool to trip people up.”
The defense also objected to an earlier stipulation that the judge conceded was “not a typical condition,” but one he felt was “appropriate to impose in this case.” Duggar was forbidden from ever viewing pornography of any kind again.
“He will go to great lengths to defeat” monitoring or accountability software, the judge added. Gelfand objected based on the defendant’s first amendment rights. He felt that “robust supervision conditions” were sufficient, and added that viewing adult pornography is a “completely legal activity.”
Prosecuting attorney Dustin Roberts voiced the government’s support of the court’s conditions regarding pornography and polygraph testing, and had no objections to any of the terms.
Duggar must also pay fines totaling $50,100, including a trio of specific special assessments. The fines are due immediately, but the court outlined procedures for payment plans if the defendant is unable to pay at this time, including some of the balance to be paid during his incarceration and a certain percentage of his future income dedicated to payment if necessary.
The judge concluded the proceedings in this case by addressing “one more matter” before the court: the government’s request that Duggar forfeit the HP desktop computer he used to download the illegal child sexual assault material.
“Nobody wants the computer back, so to speak,” said Gelfand. “Just preserved.” He added that the defense wanted to “make darn sure” that the device remained safely in evidence for a possible appeal.
With that, Duggar was taken back into custody by U.S. Marshals and will await transfer to a federal prison. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/conditions-of-josh-duggars-supervised-release-after-prison-are-not-typical-but-appropriate-judge-says/ | 2022-05-28T16:03:34Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/conditions-of-josh-duggars-supervised-release-after-prison-are-not-typical-but-appropriate-judge-says/ | false | 24 |

UVALDE, Texas — The actions — or more notably, the inaction — of a school district police chief and other law enforcement officers moved swiftly to the center of the investigation into this week's shocking school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The delay in confronting the shooter, who was inside the school for more than an hour, could lead to discipline, lawsuits and even criminal charges against police.
The attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead in a fourth grade classroom was the nation's deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade, and for three days police offered a confusing and sometimes contradictory timeline that drew public anger and frustration.
By Friday, authorities acknowledged that students and teachers repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while the police chief told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway at Robb Elementary School. Officials said he believed that the suspect was barricaded inside adjoining classrooms and that there was no longer an active attack.
The chief's decision — and the officers' apparent willingness to follow his directives against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers did not act faster to stop the gunman, and who should be held responsible.
“In these cases, I think the court of public opinion is far worse than any court of law or police department administrative trial,” said Joe Giacalone, a retired New York police sergeant. “This has been handled so terribly on so many levels, there will be a sacrificial lamb here or there.”
As the gunman fired at students, law enforcement officers from other agencies urged the school police chief to let them move in because children were in danger, two law enforcement officials said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to talk publicly about the investigation.
One of the officials said audio recordings from the scene capture officers from other agencies telling the school police chief that the shooter was still active and that the priority was to stop him. But it wasn’t clear why the school chief ignored their warnings.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who at a news conference earlier in the week lauded the police for saving lives, said he had been misled about the initial response and promised there would be investigations into “exactly who knew what, when, who was in charge” and what they did.
“The bottom line would be: Why did they not choose the strategy that would have been best to get in there and to eliminate the killer and to rescue the children?” Abbott said.
Criminal charges are rarely pursued against law enforcement in school shootings. A notable exception was the former school resource officer accused of hiding during the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that that left 17 people dead.
Potential administrative punishments — meted out by the department itself — could range from a suspension or docked pay to forced resignation or retirement or outright termination.
In terms of civil liability, the legal doctrine called “qualified immunity,” which shields police officers from lawsuits unless their actions violate clearly established laws, could also be at play in future litigation.
The Uvalde School District police chief, Pete Arredondo, decided that the group of officers should wait to confront the assailant, on the belief that the active attack was over, according to Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The crisis ended shortly after officers used keys from a janitor to open the classroom door, entered the room and shot and killed Ramos.
Arredondo could not be reached for comment Friday, and Uvalde officers were stationed outside his home, but they would not say why.
Prosecutors will have to decide whether Arredondo's decision and the officers' inaction constituted a tragic mistake or criminal negligence, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor who is a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
Levenson said prosecutors could bring state felony charges of criminally negligent homicide, though she said federal civil rights charges would be unlikely because they require intent.
“I don’t know that we expect every officer to make a perfect decision on the spot," she said. "But waiting this long — given what we know about how shooters act — predictably leads to tragedy.”
In the Parkland case, former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson is scheduled to go to trial in September on charges of child neglect resulting in great bodily harm, culpable negligence and perjury. He has said he did the best he could at the time.
The “unprecedented and irresponsible” decision by Florida prosecutors to bring a criminal case against Peterson might lead to other police elsewhere being “stripped of their liberty" and facing decades in prison "solely because a finding is made after the fact that things could have been handled differently,” Mark Eiglarsh, the former deputy’s attorney, said in an email.
Maria Haberfeld, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said the police department's policies, procedures and training will be scrutinized to see whether the officers on the ground in Uvalde followed them.
If they did, and criminal charges are still brought, she said it would send a chilling message to police nationwide. "If you follow your procedures, you’re still brought up on charges. So what’s the point of having procedures?” she said.
But Jorge Colina, a former Miami police chief, wants to know more about what was going through the minds of the officers inside the school as the chief told them to wait in the hall.
“Did someone challenge the decision there?” he said. “Did someone raise an objection at least?”

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – The lawyer for a pregnant woman arrested last week in connection to an incident at a Florida McDonald’s is accusing the Polk County sheriff of ridiculing and mocking her.
“The world may see Sheriff Grady Judd as the class clown of all of the Florida sheriffs departments,” said Jeremy McLymont, the attorney for Tianis Jones, in a news conference Friday. “I see him as someone who is very dangerous to our judicial system.”
Sheriff Judd held a news conference last Friday to discuss the May 19 incident, during which Jones, 22, was accused of having an outburst at the Lakeland McDonald’s and becoming “enraged” after trouble with her online order. In video of the incident, Jones can be seen slapping items off the counter before going behind the register and tossing cups on the floor. She also called 911 during the incident to complain, and stopped to twerk as she was leaving the restaurant.
At the news conference, Sheriff Judd called Jones “McMad.”
“I don’t know why this woman got as angry as she was, but as the saying goes, she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal,” the sheriff said.
Video of the incident, and the sheriff’s commentary, has been viewed millions of times online.
At a news conference organized by Jones’ legal team, Jones said she did not have a reaction to the video, other than “getting justice.”
McLymont, her lawyer, says Jones has bipolar disorder and depression, and was not taking her medication due to her pregnancy. She was upset over a dispute concerning her food order and not getting a refund, which was also the reason she called 911, according to McLymont.
Sheriff Judd, last Friday, suggested that Jones and her legal team only brought up her pregnancy and mental health issues as an “excuse.”
Clayton Cowart, a local civil rights leader, criticized Sheriff Judd for the comments.
“Stick to McPolicing, stay out of the McCamera and stop trying to be a McMovie Star, mental illness is real,” said Cowart.
Jones is facing charges of burglary with assault, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and misuse of 911.
“[Sheriff Judd’s] unprofessional and dangerous comments stand to taint any potential jury pool that Ms. Tianis could potentially have in this case,” said McLymont.
The sheriff dismissed allegations his comments would taint a jury pool if the case were to go to trial.
“Do you think anybody’s gonna pay any attention to a press conference today at a jury trial a year or two or three years down the road? That’s nonsense,” said Sheriff Judd. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/lawyer-for-woman-arrested-at-mcdonalds-accuses-sheriff-of-ridiculing-her-with-happy-meal-comment/ | 2022-05-28T16:43:05Z | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/lawyer-for-woman-arrested-at-mcdonalds-accuses-sheriff-of-ridiculing-her-with-happy-meal-comment/ | false | 17 |
(The Center Square) – Things are getting tougher for the nation’s breadbasket, a predicament that will likely ripple through the nation’s economy.
In addition to 40-year-high inflation and new records set nearly every day at the gasoline pump the past two weeks, the price of some agricultural fertilizers has skyrocketed as much as 60% over last year’s prices.
“An average 2,500-acre corn and soybean farm has seen their fertilizer bill increase $175,000 in the last year alone from $250,000 to $425,000,” Loren Koeman, lead economist/manager Industry, Conservation, and Regulatory Relations for the Michigan Farm Bureau, told The Center Square.
That’s extremely bad news for farmers, but as well grocery store customers who purchase such dietary staples as meat, dairy and bread.
The Michigan Legislature has sent a message to Washington lawmakers to help bring down the costs of agricultural fertilizer. Rep. Steve Carra, R-Three Rivers, authored House Resolution 205. The resolution urges the U.S. Congress, federal agencies, and state departments to immediately address the ongoing fertilizer price increases and shortages that are severely impacting Michigan farmers.
The Michigan House of Representatives approved the resolution, and sent it to the U.S. Congress.
“Farmers play a vital role in Michigan’s history, along with today’s culture and economy,” Carra, a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, said in a statement. “There are about 10 million acres of farmland in Michigan, and we are home to over 47,000 farms. That’s millions of acres of farmland needing to be fertilized.”
According to Koeman, the major factors in fertilizer price increases are:
- War in Ukraine has impacted supply of fertilizer products from Russia and Belarus due to sanctions.
- Increased energy prices directly impact nitrogen fertilizers, which are made from natural gas.
- Higher shipping costs due to both increased energy costs, labor costs and limited availability of ships and rail. Fertilizer is bulky and often needs to be shipped long distances from where it is mined to where it is used.
- Consolidation in the fertilizer industry. For example, only two companies control over 90% of the U.S. potash market. Fertilizer producers are making record profits. For example, Nutrien’s last 12-months profits are up almost 10-fold over 2020 profits.
Modern farmers have increased fertilizer efficiency, optimizing use with technology such as GPS to test soils and manage individual growing zones within fields, Koeman explained. This makes it difficult to further reduce fertilizer use without reducing yields.
In the short run, farmers' profits are reduced by the high fertilizer prices. In the long run farmers need to make a profit to stay in business, so higher fertilizer costs will need to lead to higher food prices, Koeman said.
It’s not all bad news for farmers.
“This year crop farmers have been largely able to offset the higher cost of fertilizer with higher crop prices, driven by the supply disruption in Ukraine,” Koeman said. “Farmers worry, however, that fertilizer prices are likely to stay high even as crop prices fall back to more normal levels, squeezing profits.”
Theresa Sisung, Michigan Farm Bureau industry relations specialist, agrees with Koeman.
“Thanks to strong crop prices, farmers are hoping to offset some of their additional input expenses with increased sales prices and good yields,” Sisung told The Center Square. “Farmers are sharpening their pencils and being diligent with crop sales, and with the help of Mother Nature there is still opportunity to have a positive income this year. There is greater concern about future profitability if input prices remain high and we see crop prices begin to decline.” | https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/spiking-fertilizer-costs-squeeze-midwest-farmers/article_6ff6bc30-ddea-11ec-abc0-7f122b587884.html | 2022-05-28T16:47:19Z | https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/spiking-fertilizer-costs-squeeze-midwest-farmers/article_6ff6bc30-ddea-11ec-abc0-7f122b587884.html | true | 6 |
The nation makes Memorial Day a Federal holiday so that Americans remember those who have died in military service.
At 3 p.m. on Monday, May 30 there is a national one-minute of silence. In addition, the Taps Across America program encourages anyone who can blow Taps on a trumpet, to play the 24-note song that trumpeters call the National Song of Remembrance.
Besides the millions of Americans who have died in wartime, there are more than a thousand veterans passing away every day. Veterans organizations hold memorial services because they are the most important part of the holiday weekend.
A coalition will get together Sunday. It includes Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1794, American Legion Post 4, AMVETS Post 29, a Disabled American Veterans post, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 154 and the Macomb County Detachment of the Marine Corps League.
“We will be having a Memorial Day ceremony on 29 May starting at 11 a.m. at Clinton Grove Cemetery, followed by a smaller ceremony at the veterans memorial near the Mount Clemens Fire Station,” Erik Rick, junior vice commander of VFW Post 1794, said.
The cemetery is located at 21189 Cass Ave., Clinton Township.
The coalition takes turns leading such ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
“This year VFW Post 1794 has the lead for Memorial Day,” he said.
Although the event is attended by at least 100 or more people every year, they are almost all members of the veterans organizations, and very few members of the public. Motorists who are stopped by stoplights outside the cemetery glance over and see the crowd, but they don’t turn into the entrance to join the vets in a show of respect, or to teach their children about the meaning of the day.
“There is a big disconnect between the veteran community and the broader community,” Rick, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Navy who served in planning and operations in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said.
One group that connects to the event is the TCB Youth Mentoring organization under the leadership of Thomas Barnes. Students spend a few hours in the week before Memorial Day placing American flags on the graves of veterans.
“After they get done in the veterans section, they go to other parts of the cemetery looking for other graves to honor,” Rick said.
Memorial Day ceremonies Sunday May 29
Utica
American Legion Post 351 helps lead the Utica Memorial Day ceremony at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 29 in downtown Utica. A pizza party follows at the post at 46146 Cass Avenue.

After the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade, there are free hotdogs; and beer and wine at special open house prices. Alcohol and food sales will be available to the public on that day. The clubroom is closed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30.
VFW 1146 and its auxiliary participate in the 69th annual St. Clair Shores Parade that begins at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 29 on Harper Ave. near Ridgeway Street, and travels north to 11 Mile Road.

Tracy Morgan was roasted by The Friars Club at the Ziegfeld Ballroom, but one of the sharpest jabs was pointed at attendee Anthony Weiner.
A source tells us comic Sherri Shepherd was making comedic cracks at audience members, when she joked that the pol — who was sidelined by a number of sexting scandals, and sentenced to 21 months in federal prison — was asked to leave his phone at the door because the “Friars Club has a no sexting policy.”
Weiner, who co-hosts “The Left vs The Right” on John Catsimatidis’ 77 WABC Radio, wasn’t offended.
“I would be surprised if they didn’t make fun of me at the Friars event,” Weiner told us. “Guys named Weiner go to roasts with eyes wide open.”
We hear Shepherd also kidded around with her former neighbor and “30 Rock” co-star Morgan, bringing up the time in 2009 when a light in his fish tank caught ablaze, causing the sprinklers in the building to go off and flood her apartment.
Morgan currently has a 30 gallon, $400,000 shark tank in his yard in New Jersey.
The city’s biggest party animal, Mayor Eric Adams — who by our estimation has yet to miss any event in the city — was on hand to introduce Morgan and give him an award.
“Never give up,” Morgan told the crowd. “Fall down seven times, get up eight. Unless you get hit by a Walmart truck and then you can lay down and wait for your lawyer.”
In 2014, Morgan was involved in a tragic accident involving a Walmart truck. A friend died and he sustained a traumatic brain injury, fractured ribs, a broken leg and was in a coma for two weeks. The driver pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide.
Friars Club Dean Arthur Aidala organized the evening, and told us, “It was like a wedding/bar mitzvah. There was a lot of love in that room. We weren’t just honoring someone who achieved a lot, but who was also on the brink of death,” he said referencing the accident. “Tracy cried a lot… It was a very emotional night peppered in with some hysterical moments.”
J.B. Smoove and Knicks stars Obi Toppin, Allan Houston and Immanuel Quickley were in the crowd, along with Rudy Giuliani, Bill De Blasio, Geraldo Rivera, Alan Dershowitz, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jean Shafiroff, Eugenia and Janna Bullock and Tracy Morgan Jr.
We’re told Paul Shaffer gave tribute to Gilbert Gottfried, who passed in April, and Ben Vereen gave tribute to Betty White, who passed in December.
To top off the night, Joe Piscopo sang a melody of Frank Sinatra songs, and CeeLo Green performed his biggest hits. | https://pagesix.com/2022/05/28/anthony-weiner-takes-jabs-at-tracy-morgans-friars-club-roast/ | 2022-05-28T16:57:03Z | https://pagesix.com/2022/05/28/anthony-weiner-takes-jabs-at-tracy-morgans-friars-club-roast/ | false | 1 |

The former top leader of the Proud Boys will remain jailed while awaiting trial on charges that he conspired with other members of the far-right extremist group to attack the U.S. Capitol and stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's presidential victory, a federal judge has ruled.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio poses a danger to the public that cannot be mitigated by home detention and banning him from using social media, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said in an order issued late Friday.
Tarrio, a South Florida resident, has been jailed since his arrest on March 8, a day after his indictment on charges including conspiracy. A federal magistrate in Miami previously ordered his pretrial detention.
Tarrio and other Proud Boys leaders used encrypted channels, social media and other electronic communications to plan and carry out a plot to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and interfere with the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote, according to the indictment.
Tarrio asked Kelly to order his release on bond, but the judge rejected the request. Kelly said the evidence against Tarrio is “very strong” despite Tarrio's argument that authorities essentially do not have “a smoking gun” against him, “perhaps in the form of direct evidence of an order from Tarrio to other Proud Boys to storm the Capitol.”
Tarrio was not in Washington when the insurrection took place. Police had arrested Tarrio in the District of Columbia two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. A judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of the nation's capital.
Before he left Washington, Tarrio met with Oath Keepers founder and leader Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage for approximately 30 minutes, authorities say. Rhodes and several other members or associates of the anti-government Oath Keepers militia group are charged with seditious conspiracy in the Capitol attack.
A documentary filmmaker recorded part of the garage meeting.
"But not much about the substance of the meeting can be gleaned from the clips — at one point, Tarrio and others motion for the filmmaker to stop," Kelly noted in his order.
Tarrio claims to have stepped down as Proud Boys' national chairman.
Five other men linked to the Proud Boys — Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, Charles Donohoe and Dominic Pezzola — were charged in the same March 7 indictment as Tarrio.
Donohoe, 34, of Kernersville, North Carolina, pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy and assault charges and has agreed to cooperate in the Justice Department's cases against other Proud Boys members.
Nordean, Biggs, Rehl and Pezzola also remain jailed while awaiting a trial scheduled for August.
Nordean, of Auburn, Washington, was a Proud Boys chapter president. Biggs, of Ormond Beach, Florida, has described himself as a Proud Boys organizer. Rehl was president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia. The indictment describes Pezzola, of Rochester, New York, as a member of his local Proud Boys chapter.
Tarrio tried to communicate with Nordean and Biggs by telephone while the two men were moving in and out of the Capitol, the indictment says. | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/05/28/ex-proud-boys-leader-to-stay-jailed-until-capitol-riot-trial/ | 2022-05-28T17:08:03Z | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/05/28/ex-proud-boys-leader-to-stay-jailed-until-capitol-riot-trial/ | true | 37 |
It didn’t take long for the Albright family to fill their bucket with bright red juicy fruit on opening day of Baugher’s pick-your-own strawberry season in Westminster.
“Stand here and look,” said Susan Albright of Lancaster. “All there is, is red.”
The field was full of fruit Wednesday and through this weekend, with hundreds of people from the region heading to the field to pick the first strawberries of the year.
Lindsey Kress, of Littleton, Pennsylvania, brought her son, Quinn, 4, to help pick on Wednesday afternoon. The family came early in the season this year, to beat the heat.
“It’s the best in the area,” Kress said.
About 248 people came to Baugher’s to pick their own berries on opening day, which fell a little late this year.
“Usually, we’re picking on the 15th,” said Baugher’s manager Cyndy Howes. “It was the cold weather we had. Strawberries need sunshine.”
Even on Wednesday, field guide Jacob Ziegler of Hampstead informed the eager pickers that one section of the 20-acre field was not quite ready yet for picking.
“Be gentle with the plants,” he advised. “If the berry is green or white, leave it.”
Unlike apples, strawberries won’t ripen after they are picked, Howes said.
“You have to pick red berries,” said Howes, who estimated the season would run about four to six weeks.
This season marks the return of a popular tractor ride to the picking field. A large fence surrounds the field to keep out deer and rabbits, so walking is not an option. For the last two years, due to pandemic limitations, pickers had to drive themselves over to the fields and park.
“A lot of people like the wagon ride,” Howes said. “It’s more of an adventure. A nice ride through the farm.”
Pickers are not allowed to bring their own containers. Instead, containers of various sizes are provided and pickers pay before they fill them. According to posted signs, filling a clamshell will get you about 2.2 pounds of berries, at a cost of $11; fill a 4-quart bucket with an estimated 5.5 pounds for $21; or a 6-quart basket with about 12 pounds for $28. There is an entrance fee of $3 per person, with anyone younger than 3 years old admitted for free.
With the opening of strawberry season, the pick-your-own season is in full swing at the farm, with sweet and sour cherries and peas coming later in June, peaches, plums and nectarines ripening in July, and apples starting in September. October is all about pumpkins.
“[The farm is] busy from now ‘til the first of November,” Howes said.
Wednesday was Ziegler’s first time working in the field, having spent his first few weeks on the job getting the market ready, shipping orders and various other tasks. He kept busy throughout the day advising pickers and walking down rows removing rotten berries.
Carroll County Daily Headlines
“There’s been a steady flow of people picking all day, mostly kids,” Ziegler said. “It’s a great activity for families.”
Many people are repeat customers, coming year after year as a family tradition, Howes said.
Christopher Gomez, 5, of Westminster demonstrated the best way to pick berries – get down low on the ground and scan for red.
“We dip them in chocolate,” he said with a smile.
For those who don’t want to pick their own berries, Baugher’s market is open and offers pre-picked berries and other items, such as fruit and vegetables, baked goods and kitchen items.
Before heading to the fields to pick, call Baugher’s hotline at 410-857-0111 to learn about weather and field conditions. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/lifestyles/cc-strawberry-season-baughers-20220528-y7o65fcur5dalhqmor6hhkdtqe-story.html | 2022-05-28T17:10:33Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/lifestyles/cc-strawberry-season-baughers-20220528-y7o65fcur5dalhqmor6hhkdtqe-story.html | true | 1 |
KRALENDIJK- Independent council lady Daisy Coffie supports the two MPB Commissioners when it comes to the open conflict within the Executive Council of the Public Entity Bonaire, when it comes to the building permit for the Sunset Beach Resort.
Coffie denounced the apparent lack of unity of Government. “It is crystal clear that the three commissioners are not on one line when it comes to this,” said Coffie, who then wondered why the Island Governor Rijna so far had not made an effort to promote unity of Government, even though he has the instruments to do so.
“We need to stop making exceptions on this island to everything, when it is convenient”, who also referred to an earlier situation at the Chogogo Resort. “If we create a new precedent here, we might as well approve all pending permits, even if they do not meet the requirements”, said Coffie.
Coffie also indicated that she is definitely for development and also for economic progress of the island. “But in a balanced way, which does not affect the authenticity of our island. High-rise hotels, like the ones you see in Miami, do not fit our island at all.”
Support
Coffie also explicitly stated that in this specific case supports the policy of both Commissioner Nina den Heyer and Hennyson Thielman, who have opposed the granting of a permit requested by Sunset Beach. “I have said before that in general I support Commissioner Den Heyer in this Executive Council, but in this specific case, my support also extends to Deputy Thielman.” | https://bes-reporter.com/daisy-coffie-supports-mpb-commissioners-in-conflict-about-sunset-beach-resort-permit/ | 2022-05-28T17:11:44Z | https://bes-reporter.com/daisy-coffie-supports-mpb-commissioners-in-conflict-about-sunset-beach-resort-permit/ | false | 1 |

Babies born before 37 weeks are known as preterm or premature babies. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 15 million babies are born preterm each year and the number continues to rise.
Since premature babies are delivered before their due time, some of their internal organs may not be fully developed, thereby making them more vulnerable. Consequently, premature babies spend a few days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before parents are permitted to take them home.
The transition from hospital to home can be worrisome for new parents as a premature baby requires special and undivided care and attention. But parents must rejoice in the fact that their preterm baby is finally stable enough to be moved from the hospital to the comfort of home. By following the instructions of doctors religiously and keeping in mind some vital tips, parents can nurse their premature baby back to health.
Feeding the baby correctly
Ideally, Mother’s own milk is best nutrition. But premature babies have more nutritional requirements, so feeding a preterm baby is an amalgamation of breast feeding along with supplements and expressed breast milk with fortifiers. So caregivers should be well-versed with the feeding techniques (paladai, spoon feeding, tube feeds), avoiding spillages leading to better growth and development.
A preterm baby requires 8 to 10 feeds a day and in intervals not exceeding four hours. Comprehension of the cues given by the baby is important both for initiation and completion of feeding, to have adequate feeding as well as avoid overfeeding. Do not forget to burp the baby after every feed.
Maintaining the ideal temperature
While in the hospital or the NICU, the doctors take care of the premature baby’s body and room temperature. Maintenance of body temperature is paramount importance for baby’s growth as the energy consumed should not be used up in maintaining body’s temperature.
Once at home, parents should pay special attention to maintaining the ideal room temperature, which is 20-23 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the baby’s body or axillary temperature should range between 36.5-37.0 degrees Celsius. Proper layering should be done. Baby’s temperature should be assessed by comparing hands and feet with the abdominal temperature. Try to avoid over heating as well as low temperatures. In case of doubt, try skin to skin contact for better temperature regulation.
Practicing kangaroo care
Kangaroo Mother Care, now better as kangaroo family care is an essential modality of care of premature babies. Caregivers should learn it at hospital and once home, should practice it with their premature baby regularly. Kangaroo care is a special method of holding the baby close to your chest to establish skin-to-skin contact.
Mothers, fathers as well as other caregivers, can practice it in a warm room by dressing the baby in a diaper, cap and front open shirt and placing him/her on their chest inside their robes or putting a cloth over, lasting till baby is comfortable. Practicing skin-to-skin contact with the little one can enhance bonding, promotes breastfeeding, stabilizes the baby’s heart and breathing rate, better temperature regulation, faster weight gain, gain in sleep time better development also parents have increased confidence and sense of control.
Helping the baby sleep accurately
For the first few months, parents should pay close attention to their preterm baby’s sleep requirements and habits. sleep is essential to brain development and optimizing physical growth. It is completely normal for the premature baby to sleep the day out and parents should ensure an optimal temperature, dim lighting and no noise in the room. Sleep baby on the back, never on the tummy or side, with head and face uncovered. Wrapping and swaddling have proven benefits. Additionally, parents should make sure that the baby is sleeping on a firm mattress without any pillows or extra blankets that may suffocate him/her, preferably on a separate cot. Skin to skin care sessions also encourage sleep.
Avoiding visitors and public places
The preterm baby’s immunity is very low and has a higher risk of catching infections and diseases. It is advisable to limit the number of visitors to your home for the first few crucial weeks, especially anyone with an illness. Do not allow smoking inside your house or near the baby. All visitors should wash their hands thoroughly before holding or touching the premature baby. Too many visitors can also overstimulate the little ones as preterm babies are extra sensitive to sounds and touch and get tire easily. Moreover, you should also avoid visiting public or crowded places lest baby’s exposed to unwanted infection or smoke.
Final thoughts
The journey of a premature baby is a roller coster ride, more so for the parents. So the transition from hospital to home and from a premature baby to a mature, stronger baby can be trying and tiring. But regular follow-ups with the doctors, following all the necessary recommendations and devoting extra care and time to the young one can help the new parents and the newborn find stability and safety. Prematurity should not be seen as an encumbrance but rather a blessing to welcome your little one earlier.

Prison bosses hope a massive jail barber recruitment drive will cut more than just hair.
Chiefs reckon they can lop re-offending rates by offering training courses.
A pilot scheme in one jail aims to turn out more than 250 crimpers each year.
If followed elsewhere it could see thousands of lags handed scissors, razors and brushes. Cons are even getting lessons on how to make small talk with customers, pick the correct hair dye and treat scalps.
A source said: “There is a clear link between meaningful work and going straight.”
The hairdressing courses are run at category C HMP Isis in Thamesmead, south east London, which houses criminals aged 25 and under. Jail watchdog the Independent Monitoring Board, which revealed the plan last week, said the men will get a level-three barbering qualification.
Wild-haired PM Boris Johnson visited the nick last year when he backed plans for cons to do a “proper day’s work”.
He said: “Recidivism is running at 70%, we’ve got to get those numbers down, make sure that people get out of prison and get into jobs.”
One ex-con who learned behind bars, Dominic Othol, now cuts the hair of celebs including England footie stars.
The Ministry of Justice said: “Schemes like this give prisoners the skills to get off crime and into work on release.” | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/prisons-radical-scheme-trains-criminals-27090805 | 2022-05-28T17:21:22Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/prisons-radical-scheme-trains-criminals-27090805 | true | 1 |

After months of exhilarating football action, global attention is now shifted towards the UEFA Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
With its ‘Cheers to all fans’ campaign, this season’s Champions League more than ever has been an enjoyable one for most fans with the extra magic added by premium international beer Heineken.
Through the rough roads leading to the Stade de France in Paris where Saturday’s final will be taking place, many still have fond memories of the classic nights of football laced with plenty of entertainment and mouth-watering prizes all courtesy of Heineken.
Aside from the unique match viewing experience enjoyed across major cities around the country, the Champions League trophy itself was brought down to Nigeria by Heineken for fans to enjoy a once in a life experience.
The trophy was accompanied to Nigeria by football legend Clarence Seedorf who had a swell time with Nigerian legends Austin Jay Jay Okocha and Daniel Amokachi, the man credited with the first Champions League goal as we presently have it.
A befitting climax is understandably anticipated when the Heineken UEFA champions league “Cheers to all fans” train will be making its final stop this Saturday during the final clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Senior Brand Manager, Heineken, Chinwe Greg-Egu, assured the fans and loyal consumers of another fulfilled experience as the world eagerly waits to see whether it is Liverpool or Madrid that would carry the day.
“Yes, we are eagerly counting down to Saturday’s final and a lot has been put in place to make sure our loyal consumers (the ultimate champions) have another unforgettable experience with Heineken.”
The magical Heineken Champions League train had visited a couple of cities; including, Enugu, Port Harcourt and Lagos in course of the season.
Heineken has been a sponsor for the UEFA Champions League for over 27 years and has continued to thrill and bring football-loving consumers of the product together to enjoy live telecasts of UEFA Champions League games every season. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/heineken-relieves-champions-league-glamour-ahead-of-final/ | 2022-05-28T17:28:45Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/heineken-relieves-champions-league-glamour-ahead-of-final/ | false | 2 |
A Florida judge on Saturday gave initial approval to a settlement of more than $1 billion to families who lost loved ones in the collapse last year of a Florida beachfront condominium building in which 98 people died.
The quick settlement of the unprecedented collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South building in the early morning hours of June 24, 2021, means that potentially years of court battles will be avoided.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman, who is overseeing the lawsuits filed after the collapse, said during a hearing held remotely it was the best possible outcome given the loss of life and property in the disaster.
“It is a great result," Hanzman said before giving preliminary approval to the agreement, which was announced Friday. “This was a very contested deal.”
Rachel Furst, co-chair of the attorney group representing victim families, said the agreement also means defendants — insurance companies, developers, the city of Surfside and others — will have “complete peace” that they won't be sued again. Still, some people may decide to opt out of the deal and pursue their own independent claims.
“This was heavily negotiated,” Furst said. “We believe this is an outstanding settlement.”
Under the agreement, people involved in the settlement directly will have until June 16 to file a notice they intend to opt out. A week later on June 23, Judge Hanzman will have a fairness hearing to allow anyone objecting to the settlement to be heard.
Attorney Michael Goldberg, the court-appointed receiver handling in the case for the judge, said notice will go out to all the family members of those who died, will be posted on the Champlain Towers South website and also will be put into the Miami Herald.
“We will begin immediately,” Goldberg said.
The total for the families who lost loved ones in the collapse is about $1.02 billion. Separately, people whose condos were destroyed and lost property such as furnishings and mementos will share about $96 million.
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.
Only three 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.

Instead of playing college baseball, he started his pro career with the Gulf Coast Braves and Rome Braves. He quickly impressed in his first year and the Braves invited Harris to spring training in 2021 and 2022.

Few, if anybody, mourned the demise of the statue of a Red Army soldier in the Polish town of Siedlce. Already neglected and vandalised, it was pulled down last month, ingloriously nosediving into the rain-sodden turf and breaking in two before being carted away.
Horrified by what Russia is now inflicting on Ukraine, Polish authorities have ramped up a drive to rid the country of the tangible legacies of its years spent under a brutal regime imposed on it by Moscow.
Nor is it just Poland that wants to rid itself of unwanted monuments, memorials and street names. Scattered across central and eastern Europe, they are seen in many countries as unwelcome reminders of Soviet imperialism and occupation.
Some street names had already been changed and statues and monuments uprooted, but since Vladimir Putin’s troops marched into Ukraine the pace and the scale of de-Russification has increased.
Karol Nawrocki, the director of Poland’s Institute for National Remembrance, the body charged with investigating crimes committed during the communist era, said that it has drawn up a hit list of 60 Red Army monuments that it wants either destroyed or moved to a museum.
Speaking in Siedlce, he drew parallels with the past and what is happening in Ukraine, saying it was wrong to honour people who are now “models for those today who want to commit genocide”.
Mr Nawrocki said that the Red Army symbols found on the monuments – such as red banners and stars – have been used by the Russian army in Ukraine, and that although they wear the uniforms of the Russian Federation, the soldiers have “Lenin and Stalin in their hearts”.
Over in the Latvian capital of Riga, lawmakers there recently voted to remove a massive Soviet war memorial, consisting of a lofty obelisk and three giant bronze statues of Red Army soldiers, from a central park. The Latvian public has banded together to raise 200,000 euros to pay for its destruction and removal.
Protesters have also taken to the streets in Riga. Marching under the banner “Liberation from Soviet Legacy”, they called for the dismantling of all Soviet memorials and the renaming of any street or square linked to the Soviet past.
Meanwhile, local authorities in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, have started planning the removal of the massive Soviet Army Monument. A long-time source of controversy for the city, the Ukraine war has provided the final impetus.
Beyond legacy monuments of the Second World War, some countries are also targeting wider symbols of Russia.
That includes Ukraine, of course, where MP Lesia Vasylenko says “de-Russification is spreading fast” and that all the streets named Moscow and Pushkin “are getting new names”.
“A town in the Odesa region will soon get a Boris Johnson Street, for example,” she added, in recognition of the UK’s support for Ukraine.
The southern Czech town of Ceske Budejovice has even decided to rescind the honorary citizenship of Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut, who is currently a member of the Russian parliament.
“Although Valentina Tereskovova has a positive role as an international symbol of gender equality, in recent years she has been a strong supporter of Putin’s totalitarian regime,” said Jan Hosek, a town councillor.
“The matter [of withdrawing her citizenship] was discussed even before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But following the events there, the proposal received overwhelming support.” | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/05/28/eastern-europe-takes-symbols-soviet-occupation-stand-ukraine/ | 2022-05-28T17:34:40Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/05/28/eastern-europe-takes-symbols-soviet-occupation-stand-ukraine/ | true | 2 |
BALTIMORE (AP) — A court settlement calls for the city of Baltimore to pay $300,000 to resolve claims that police officers planted drugs on a rapper known as Young Moose.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the city's spending board is poised to approve the settlement payment at a meeting next week. Lawyers for the city reached the agreement with Kevron Evans on May 10, but city officials will vote Wednesday on whether to approve it.
The city already has paid more than $10 million to settle lawsuits against officers who served on a task force notorious for its members corruption.
Evans sued several Baltimore police officers, including a former detective, Daniel Hersl, who served on the infamous Gun Trace Task Force. Hersl is serving 18 years in federal prison after being convicted in 2018 of charges stemming from a corruption investigation of the task force. He was accused of stealing money before and after he joined the task force.
Evans' lawsuit accuses officers of applying for warrants based on false allegations and illegally arresting him.
The Sun said it couldn't reach lawyers for Evans or Hersl for comment on Friday,
Evans said the officers’ persistent harassment robbed him of lucrative career opportunities and tarnished his reputation. Evans was arrested right before he was supposed to go on stage for a performance at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore.
Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office vacated Evans’ conviction in 2020 during the review of hundreds of cases involving the convicted and disgraced Gun Trace Task Force officers.
Actor Josh Charles portrays Hersl in the HBO series “We Own This City,” which is adapted from a book written by former Sun reporter Justin Fenton. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Rapper-Young-Moose-reaches-300K-deal-with-city-17205390.php | 2022-05-28T17:36:11Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Rapper-Young-Moose-reaches-300K-deal-with-city-17205390.php | false | 12 |
'One Hell of a Player': Former Texas A&M OL Taking Strides At Texans OTAs
HOUSTON -- There's a level of expectation among prospects making the jump from the SEC to the pros. As first-rounders, there’s even more expected.
The Houston Texans used six of their nine selections on SEC products in April's draft — two of which came in the first round. LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. was the top selection at No. 3 overall, while Texas A&M offensive lineman Kenyon Green was taken at No. 15.
Both Stingley and Green mentioned at the initial press conference how playing in the SEC mentally and physically prepared them for life at the next level. New Texans offensive lineman A.J. Cann also can attest to that, especially in terms of talent seen in the trenches.
“A guy being drafted where Kenyon was, there is going to be a lot of expectations for him, but I’ve just been telling him to take it day-by-day,” Cann said Tuesday following OTA practice. “Try to get better each and every day. They are going to expect a lot of him but be who he is every day and that’s who he’s been.”
Green is expected to fill the void at left guard from the get-go in large part due to his success in College Station. Starting 35 games in three seasons, Green was a two-time All-American and has experience at four different positions on the offensive line.
Texans general manager Nick Caserio said he viewed the 6-4, 325-pound lineman "probably more of an inside player," but isn't opposed to seeing him compete for reps at tackle in a pinch. A tackle by trade coming out of Atascocita High School in Humble, Green played all but five games during his Aggie career inside.
Cann, a fellow tackle-turned-guard and SEC alum from South Carolina characterized Green as a "humble quiet kid" who consistently is looking to learn. The hope is that he'll slide in and help take pressure off Pro Bowl tackle Laremy Tunsil on the left side while Cann steps up at right guard in Week 1.
"He’s been working hard for the past two weeks he’s been here," Cann said. "I think he’s going to be a hell of a player.”

The Aggies relied on two home runs in the sixth and seventh inning to advance to the SEC Semifinals
One of the key reasons Green made sense for the Texans was his development as a run blocker. In the final two years at Texas A&M, the Aggies were one of the more physical run teams in the SEC. Isaiah Spiller, who was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fourth round, posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons while averaging 5.5 yards per run
Rising junior Devon Achane averaged seven yards per attempt last season, the highest among all players in the conference. Achane also pushed his way near the 1K marker, finishing with 910 yards on 130 carries.
Cann, who spent his first seven seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, already has an understanding of what new offensive line coach George Warhop looks for in his unit. One must be physical, but also has to be a willing blocker through the whistle on run plays.
"Every offensive line I’ve played with would say this, being as physical as you can in the run game," Cann said. "It’s something I look forward to.”
Green was considered one of two guard prospects with a consensus first-round grade by scouts. Boston College's Zion Johnson was better known for his win rate in pass protection, thus making the selection of Green a more logical option for Warhop's line.
Green returned for the second stage of OTAs with the Texans starting June 1. The Aggies open the season against Sam Houston State on Sept. 3 at 11 a.m..

Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou said in an interview with the BBC that in case or reaching a Free Trade Agreement with China, it would not generate dependence, because in his country politics and economics were separate issues.
Lacalle insisted Uruguay does not have Chinese investments in infrastructure, which helps avoid a subordinate relationship with China unlike in those countries with financial injections which are subsequently subservient to the Asian giant.
We have our investments, we don't need some things that maybe China can offer. We don't need infrastructure, he added during the interview with the BBC's which was recorded during the South American leader's recent London trip.
Lacalle Pou also pointed out that the United States does not have a vision of Latin America or they consider that they do but it is wrong. The administration of US President Joseph Biden believes that from the Mexican border down to Tierra del Fuego we all have the same problems and the same needs. And he underlined that Biden has so far not reached out to Uruguay for trade agreements.
Asked if in this scenario he was putting all his geopolitical eggs in China's basket, Lacalle replied that I put my eggs where I can. He added that he would like to achieve a balance in trade relations with China, Europe, and the United States, but currently this is not attainable.
Regarding China's human rights record, Lacalle stressed that one thing is trade and another thing is human rights, ideology or whatever. Then Lacalle recalled his great-grandfather Luis Alberto de Herrera used to quote Lord Palmerston's adage that countries do not have permanent enemies, nor permanent friends; they have permanent interests.
Lacalle also reaffirmed his country's Mercosur membership, despite the differences, and said that we do not accept the argument that we have to do it all together, because Brazil and Argentina are not willing to open as fast as we want and as fast as we need to.
We are trying to convince Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Paraguay has more than 33% of its exports in Mercosur and is not a partner in this trip, he added.
When asked about Argentine President Alberto Fernández's invitation to leave Mercosur's boat if the bloc was such a heavy burden, Lacalle replied that Uruguay was onboard. Let's think about who is the burden.
”We want to move forward and we will move forward. We are trying to agree with China, with Turkey. This invitation from the (British) prime minister for us was a very good moment to talk about trade with the UK, and we will move forward,” he also pointed out.

In August last year, Mr. Musk had said Tesla may set up a manufacturing unit in India if it first succeeds with imported vehicles in the country.
By: Chandrashekar Bhat
American electric carmaker Tesla, which has been seeking reduction in import duties to sell its vehicles in India, will not manufacture its products locally unless it is allowed to first sell and service its cars in the country, company founder and chief executive Elon Musk has said.
In a tweet responding to a user asking about Tesla setting up a manufacturing plant in India, he said, “Tesla will not put a manufacturing plant in any location where we are not allowed first to sell & service cars.”
Last month, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari had said if Tesla was ready to manufacture its electric vehicles in India then there was ‘no problem’ but the company must not import cars from China.
In August last year, Mr. Musk had said Tesla may set up a manufacturing unit in India if it first succeeds with imported vehicles in the country.
He had said Tesla wanted to launch its vehicles in India “but import duties are the highest in the world by far of any large country!”
Currently, India imposes 100% import duty on fully imported cars with CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) value more than USD 40,000 and 60% on those costing less than the amount. | https://www.easterneye.biz/tesla-wont-manufacture-in-india-unless-allowed-to-sell-service-cars-elon-musk/ | 2022-05-28T17:56:33Z | https://www.easterneye.biz/tesla-wont-manufacture-in-india-unless-allowed-to-sell-service-cars-elon-musk/ | true | 7 |
A Florida judge on Saturday gave initial approval to a settlement of more than $1 billion to families who lost loved ones in the collapse last year of a Florida beachfront condominium building in which 98 people died.
The quick settlement of the unprecedented collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South building in the early morning hours of June 24, 2021, means that potentially years of court battles will be avoided.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman, who is overseeing the lawsuits filed after the collapse, said during a hearing held remotely it was the best possible outcome given the loss of life and property in the disaster.
“It is a great result,” Hanzman said before giving preliminary approval to the agreement, which was announced Friday. “This was a very contested deal.”
Rachel Furst, co-chair of the attorney group representing victim families, said the agreement also means defendants — insurance companies, developers, the city of Surfside and others — will have “complete peace” that they won’t be sued again. Still, some people may decide to opt out of the deal and pursue their own independent claims.
“This was heavily negotiated,” Furst said. “We believe this is an outstanding settlement.”
Under the agreement, people involved in the settlement directly will have until June 16 to file a notice they intend to opt out. A week later on June 23, Judge Hanzman will have a fairness hearing to allow anyone objecting to the settlement to be heard.
Attorney Michael Goldberg, the court-appointed receiver handling in the case for the judge, said notice will go out to all the family members of those who died, will be posted on the Champlain Towers South website and also will be put into the Miami Herald.
“We will begin immediately,” Goldberg said.
The total for the families who lost loved ones in the collapse is about $1.02 billion. Separately, people whose condos were destroyed and lost property such as furnishings and mementos will share about $96 million.
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.
Only three 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.

Ola cab driver arrested for molesting 15-year-old girl in Mumbai
Ola cab driver arrested for molesting 15-year-old girl in Mumbai
Mumbai: An Ola cab driver was arrested from Mumbai's Goregaon area and produced before a local court by Mumbai Police on Friday for molesting a 15-year-old passenger back on May 25. The court remanded him in police custody till May 30. He has been identified as one Murari Kumar Singh (29). The incident took place when the victim was returning home to Mumbai's Aarey Colony area from Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal.
According to the police, Singh gave questionable suggestions to the teenager, including being a 'friend'. He is also said to have gestured toward her, making obscene jokes when the 15-year-old faced a problem due to lack of spare change at the end of the trip.

Flight cancellations kick off Memorial Day weekend
It's another chaotic holiday weekend for Americans traveling by air.
More than 1,000 flights were canceled as of Saturday morning, according to flight tracking website FlightAware, after 2,300 cancellations on Friday.
Delta Air Lines is most affected by the cancellations, with more than 230 flights, or 8% of its operations, axed on Saturday. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, where Delta is headquartered and has its largest hub, is heavily affected by the travel snags.
The carrier blamed Saturday's cancellations on bad weather and "air traffic control actions" on Friday, saying it is trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance.
United canceled 23 flights and JetBlue canceled 10 Saturday, about 1% of the carriers' operations.
On Thursday, Delta announced it was decreasing its summer flight schedule ahead of Memorial Day weekend. From July 1 through Aug. 7, the airline said, it would cut around 100 daily flights primarily in the U.S. and Latin America.
"More than any time in our history, the various factors currently impacting our operation — weather and air traffic control, vendor staffing, increased COVID case rates contributing to higher-than-planned unscheduled absences in some work groups — are resulting in an operation that isn't consistently up to the standards Delta has set for the industry in recent years," said Chief Customer Experience Officer Allison Ausband in an online post.
Airlines also are preemptively canceling almost 200 flights Monday. Delta axed 75 so far.
Delta said in its post that it will issue travel waivers for those affected by bad weather in the Southeast and Northeast this weekend. The affected airports, which include the New York City and Washington, D.C., areas, are listed on the company's website.
Delta said it expected around 2.5 million customers during the holiday weekend — a quarter increase from last year. AAA estimated 3 million Americans flying by air over Memorial Day weekend.
Separately, JetBlue said it would cut 8% to 10% of its summer schedule. Alaska Airlines reduced its schedule by about 2% through June to match "pilot capacity." | https://www.wcvb.com/article/memorial-day-weekend-flight-cancellations/40132756 | 2022-05-28T18:08:51Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/memorial-day-weekend-flight-cancellations/40132756 | true | 13 |
Which fog machine is best?
Trying to pick out the best fog machine can be a little daunting for some, especially if you aren’t exactly sure how you plan to use it. Still, most buyers can find a fog machine model within their price range, once they identify what they plan to do with the unit.
The AGPTEK Fog Machine is nontoxic, comes with two wireless remotes and 13 colors with effects, all of which make it our top pick.
What to know before you buy a fog machine
Fog machine power
Whether you plan to use it for Halloween or for live events such as weddings, shows or dances, the best fog machines are sorted by their wattage. Generally speaking, fog machines tend to range between 400 and 1,000 watts, with a number of industrial and professional-use fog machines drawing even more power.
Fog machine reservoir
Fog machines include a reservoir with varying volumes, and while most average users can use units with the smallest reservoirs, others who plan to use their fog machines for long periods of time should purchase a model with a large fog reservoir.
Preferred fog-deployment modes
While some cheap fog machines may only include a single manual mode that requires the user to press a button to dispense fog, many buyers find it helpful to purchase fog machines that have timers or the inclusion of remote controls for deploying fog as needed from afar.
What to look for in a quality fog machine
Quiet
Some that plan to use their fog machines as a decorative touch, like Halloween fog machines or those for quiet acoustic concerts, may prefer units that don’t operate at very loud volumes. While it’s a little tough to quantify exactly how loud a given unit is, looking at reviews can be helpful. In addition, mid and high-tier fog machines usually tend to be a little quieter – with the exception of industrial units – while cheap fog machines often make a lot of noise during operation.
Fog machines with a timer
Many buyers specifically seek out fog machines with some kind of timer mechanism, since this can usually make it easier to automate how a given model dispenses fog. Most fog machines with a timer simply let you set the intervals between each fog deployment, so you can customize how foggy it gets overall.
Lights and other features
You can find fog machines with a wide range of helpful and additional features, with one of the most coveted being the inclusion of lights. Fog machines aren’t all that incredible on their own, but once you direct beams of light (especially in color) at them, they begin to illuminate in incredible patterns and displays. As a result, many fog machines include built-in lighting, some in color and some in just white light – with some even offering DMX controllable lighting rigs that can bring any atmosphere to life.
How much you can expect to spend on a fog machine
The price of fog machines varies significantly depending on the quality and intended use of a given unit. Most of the time, you can find cheap fog machines for $30-$50, while others designed for professional use or with other features may cost up to $300 – and sometimes more.
Fog machine FAQ
Is it safe to breathe in the fog made by fog machines?
A. The fog created by fog machines is safe to breathe, although running low-quality fog machines for long periods of time can cause other chemical byproducts, which may not be quite as safe as the fog itself. For this reason, it’s important to turn off your fog machine when not in use and between needs on long days of usage.
How do you clean and maintain your fog machine?
A. Most fog machines advise cleaning the fog nozzle and hoses every 40 hours of use. To clean a fog machine, you can separately buy a fog machine cleaning liquid that you run through the machine for about five minutes at a time.

Ousmane Dembele is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea about a move to west London.
The French winger has been linked since January as reports of his refusal to sign a new contract with Barcelona came to light. As he's still only 25, and because he's already worked with Thomas Tuchel when the German was in charge of Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Dembele would be a huge coup for the Blues as they enter their new era under the ownership of Todd Boehly's consortium.
According to the latest report from Mundo Deportivo, as cited by Barcauniversal, he's close to reaching a contract agreement with Chelsea, with a free transfer to Stamford Bridge now looming large.

And to make matters that little bit more interesting, Dembele's agent, Moussa Sissoko, has revealed that his client is still considering his client's future and is not yet ready to pen a new deal at the Nou Camp if it does eventually come to that.
As cited by Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, he said: “Ousmane’s future remains open. We are and have always been very respectful to all clubs and this will continue to be the case while the process is ongoing. When it is the right time to make a decision, Ousmane will consider the best option for his future."
It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Frenchman in the coming months, but Dembele would be a statement signing for the new ownership as they look to put their stamp on Chelsea's squad. | https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/ousmane-dembele-transfer-barcelona-stance-24089558 | 2022-05-28T18:17:58Z | https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/ousmane-dembele-transfer-barcelona-stance-24089558 | true | 1 |

The public entities Saba and St. Eustatius during a meeting in St. Eustatius on Monday, May 23 agreed to further strengthen the cooperation between the two islands.
A small delegation from Saba, headed by Commissioner Bruce Zagers, traveled to St. Eustatius for a meeting to further the collaboration with St. Eustatius on different topics. It was agreed that the islands will explore further possibilities for a stronger joint approach on topics such as banking, notary, air and sea travel, waste management and recycling, and health care.
Besides the workgroups that already exist on a variety of these topics, the delegations agreed that it was important to install an over-arching task force that will keep an overall view on all topics. Each of these topics faces individual challenges for which specific approaches and possible solutions are needed. The two islands also agreed to work on a joint ambition document with regard to nature management/environment and waste management.
After the meeting on Monday, Government Commissioner Alida Francis gave an in-depth explanation of different ongoing projects during an extensive island tour. On Tuesday, the Saba delegation visited the waste facility. The delegation received an elaborate explanation of how the facility and the surrounding processes work.

‘I’m so proud of him’: Friends, family celebrate World War II veteran’s 100th birthday
GARDEN CITY, S.C. (WMBF/Gray News) - A highly decorated World War II veteran celebrated his 100th birthday in style this week.
WMBF reports Clarence Tompkins was joined by a large group of friends and family, who know him as Chuck, to celebrate the milestone birthday.
He joined the United States Army in 1942.
On June 12, 1944, Clarence Tompkins escorted a medic to another wounded soldier while under heavy attack during the Battle of Normandy.
He then helped evacuate both soldiers to safety while taking sniper fire.
“He’s been very humble, even though he went through a lot in the war, and he saved several people’s lives,” his son Keith Tompkins said.
During his time in the service, Clarence Tompkins received two Purple Hearts, a Combat Infantry Badge and two stars.
His family said he’s often asked what his secret is to make it far in this life.
“He is always moving and always doing something, and I think that is the secret to his long life,” his daughter Pat Tompkins-McCormick said.
On Friday, the group came together at a sports bar, one of his favorite spots, to celebrate the WWII veteran turning 100-years-old.
“I’m so proud of him; I’m already planning for next year,” his best friend Ed McCormick said. “He’s in such great health and has a great attitude.”
Clarence Tompkins has been in Myrtle Beach for about three years and said his relationships remain very important, just as important as his relationship with his soldiers.

After two deaths on South Transit Street due to drivers striking pedestrians, city officials are working on a study that focuses on making the street safer.
The first victim was Richard Howes III, who was hit by two vehicles on March 18. Sean Kelahan and Tyreek Wolfe have been charged with manslaughter, as well as reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident, in regard to Howes’ death.
The second crash was also a hit-and-run and occurred on May 5 at 5:44 a.m. at the intersection of S. Transit and Nicholls Streets, according to a Lockport Police Department press release. One of two drivers who hit the victim have been located, but has not been named. The victim’s name has also not been released to the public.
Mayor Michelle Roman said that the traffic advisory board is in the process of gathering information on the S. Transit Street from Ruhlmann Road to Main Street.
At the same time, the New York State Department of Transportation has an ongoing 2020 traffic study on Route 78 in Niagara County.
The NYSDOT made a short statement explaining that the deaths were not the cause of its study.
“As a routine process, every year NYSDOT compiles a list of locations for further study based upon an assessment of collision rates,” it read. “The location along Route 78 was selected based on data provided by NYSDOT’s Office of Traffic Safety and Mobility.”
NYSDOT studies evaluate crash data, field conditions, as well as potential alternatives and countermeasures to stop future accidents. The traffic study should be complete by the end of Summer 2022.
The city’s study will be looking at a variety of factors, Roman said, including, “the number of accidents over the last four years, traffic signal operations, speed limit signs, street light inventory and pedestrian crossing areas.”
According to Roman, the City’s Highway and Parks Department would be handling the signage, the city engineer will be looking into electric streetlights and the Lockport Police Department would be compiling the accident reports along the stretch of road.
There is no estimate on when the study will be complete.
“This will take time to collate,” Roman said. “Then the traffic advisory board will meet to review this information in conjunction with the NYSDOT traffic study to come up with feasible solutions.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/studies-put-south-transit-street-in-focus/article_9d1487ea-b526-5acc-af92-df8b40ec1e0c.html | 2022-05-28T18:39:49Z | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/studies-put-south-transit-street-in-focus/article_9d1487ea-b526-5acc-af92-df8b40ec1e0c.html | true | 3 |
