4 aspirants scramble for 310 delegates in race to replace Senator Remi Tinubu
Four aspirants are currently slugging it out to replace Sen. Oluremi Tinubu (APC-Lagos Central) in the ongoing APC Senatorial Primaries on Saturday in the state.
The four aspirants jostling for the APC Lagos central senatorial ticket are Mr Wasiu Eshinlokun-Sanni, the Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Demola Seriki, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Mr Oyinlomo Danmole, a former commissioner, and Mr Akeem Apatira.
Voting has begun at the primaries, amidst tight security under the watch of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission at 2.45 p.m., after the completion of the accreditation of 310 ad hoc delegates.
In his remarks before the commencement of the exercise, Mr Tolani Sule, the Chairman of the five-man Electoral Committee/Returning Officer, said that 308 ad hoc delegates were accredited out of 310 ad hoc delegates expected.
“308 delegates will be participating in this election. For us to be fast, we will be calling delegates from one local government to another local government,” Sule said.
According to him, there are 60 delegates expected from Surulere, 50 each from Apapa and Eti-Osa, 55 from Lagos Mainland, and 95 from Lagos Island.
The APC senatorial special congress is holding at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
The ruling party on Thursday, conducted its governorship primaries while that of house of assembly and house of representatives were conducted on Friday.

'I'm Absolutely Livid': TX Gov. Abbott Reveals He Was 'Misled' on Uvalde Shooting Timeline
Speaking at a Friday news conference, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott revealed that he had been “misled” on the timeline of the Uvalde school shooting.
“Yes, I was misled. I am livid about what happened,” Abbott said in response to a reporter’s question.
“I was on this very stage two days ago, and I was telling the public information that had been told to me in a room just a few yards behind where we’re located right now,” Abbott said.
The governor said he had relied on notes he had taken during the briefing with law enforcement officials and others.
“The information that I was given turned out in part to be inaccurate, and I’m absolutely livid about that,” he said.
Abbott called for the Texas Rangers and the FBI to “get to the bottom of every fact with absolute certainty,” demanding answers for the families whose “lives have been destroyed.”
“They need answers that are accurate, and it is inexcusable that they may have suffered from any inaccurate information whatsoever,” he said.
Abbott’s remarks come as the law enforcement response to the shooting is heavily scrutinized.
“There will be ongoing investigations that detail exactly who knew what when. Who was in charge of what strategy? Why was that particular strategy employed?” Abbott said.
“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?”
The governor told the public that law enforcement needed to earn community trust “by doing exactly what they’re supposed to do from this point on.”
Conflicting information on the timeline of the shooting circulated after the Tuesday massacre.
Some reports claimed that a police officer engaged the shooter outside of Robb Elementary School before he gained access to the building. This proved to be inaccurate.
Some have questioned why law enforcement didn’t rush into the school immediately as the shooter targeted children.

Ultimately, an off-duty Border Patrol agent entered the school and neutralized the shooter.

BHOPAL (Madhya Pradesh): Responding to state Congress president Kamal Nath's allegation that OBCs were not getting their due share in panchayat elections, Minister for Urban Administration Department Bhupendra Singh said that Madhya Pradesh was the first state to conduct Panchayat and civic elections with OBC reservation.
Congress went to High Court five times, then went to Supreme Court. Supreme Court made the reservation void. MP is the first state where elections are being held with OBC reservation. Elections are being held in Maharashtra without OBC reservation, Singh told mediapersons on Saturday.
Singh said that Congress abolished reservation. OBC reservation may have decreased at some places but also increased in many places. Elections are being held with OBC reservation, it is the success of BJP government, he remarked.
Replying to a question, Singh has said that elections for urban local bodies would be held in July. Singh said that elections for urban bodies would be held immediately after Panchayat elections. He said that elections for all civic bodies would be completed by first week of August.
Earlier, Kamal Nath had accused BJP of cheating OBCs in Panchayat elections. Talking to media on Saturday, he presented the figures of OBC reservation in upcoming Panchayat elections.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan government claimed that they are providing reservation to OBCs up to 35% but the fact is that their share is stuck between 9.5% to 11.5%, said Nath. According to Nath, there are 875 members of Zila Panchayat in state. OBCs got 98 posts. This means 11.2% reservation has been made for district panchayat members, he added.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania’s Interior Ministry said Saturday that four Albanian women and nine children, all related to Albanians who joined Islamist extremist groups fighting in Syria and Iraq, have been repatriated from a Syrian camp.
The group, which landed at the Pristina Adem Jashari Airport in neighboring Kosovo, was joined by “other Kosovar citizens leaving the hell camps,” the statement said, without disclosing the number. At least one man’s blurred face was seen in a video distributed by the ministry.
Speaking at the airport, Albanian Interior Minister Bledi Cuci thanked U.S. authorities and Lebanese Gen. Abass Ibrahim, who has played a key role in the repatriation efforts.
Kosovar Interior Minister Xhelal Zvecla did not give details on the Kosovar citizens repatriated but assured that specialized institutions would take care to “rehabilitate” and “de-radicalize” them.
Cuci said 43 Albanian women and children whose husbands and fathers joined Islamic State group and most often have been killed in fighting have been brought back in four missions since 2018. Cuci said Albania had a list of citizens still in the camps and would continue efforts to bring them back.
Kosovo has repatriated at least 121 people since 2019.
“I would like to assure Albanians that we are determined to bring back from those camps any Albanians who has remained there, every child and every woman,” said Cuci.
Hundreds of people from Albania and Kosovo joined the Islamic State and other groups fighting in Syria and Iraq in the early 2010s. Many were killed, and their widows and children are stuck in Syrian camps.

Mass shootings are difficult to prevent with mental health resources alone, experts say
In the wake of yet another mass shooting, some Texas politicians have called for increased mental health services to help prevent the next tragedy.
But experts working in the field warn that there is no fully effective solution to stop these shootings before they happen, with some saying that blaming mental health is a deflection from the fact that gun control is a necessary part of prevention.
"We can do all the things we can to help students, but at the end of the day, if a student has the notion to go shoot up a school and has access to the weapons to do that, I'm not sure any measures that may or may not have taken place would necessarily prevent it," said Jill Cook, the executive director of the American School Counselor Association.
"If somebody comes to a door with a semiautomatic weapon," Cook said, "that's it then."
On Tuesday, 19 children and two teachers were shot and killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old gunman. State authorities have said that within days of his 18th birthday earlier this month, the shooter had purchased two semiautomatic rifles at a local gun store. He also purchased 375 rounds of ammunition.
Although Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that a "mental health challenge" had played a role in the massacre, the gunman had no known criminal history or mental health issues.
And Abbott wasn't alone in pointing to mental health. In the days after the shooting, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told News 4 San Antonio that the tragedy may have been prevented if more mental health resources were dedicated to his region.
"Maybe we could have caught it," he said. "Maybe if we had the counselors, maybe if we had the mental health people, we could do it."
Hurdles to accurately predicting violence and ensuring treatment
Dr. Ziv Cohen, a forensic and clinical psychiatrist based in New York City, said boosting mental health services in communities and making them more affordable could help reduce gun deaths, particularly suicides, but there is no fully effective mental health solution to stop mass shootings.
That is largely because they can be hard to predict. Mass shooters rarely show obvious signs of severe mental illness, such as having hallucinations or being completely out of touch with reality, Cohen said. Instead, of those who do exhibit signs of mental illness, the vast majority share commonalities with many people who do not go on to become shooters.
Those characteristics include depression, isolation from family and classmates, narcissism, paranoia and suspicion, Cohen said. Many may feel easily threatened or insulted by others or feel they are on a mission to prove a point.
"If you're looking at a group of people with those mental health issues, it's almost impossible to pick out the one that's actually going to commit a mass shooting," Cohen said. "This is why we haven't really found a solution."
A 2015 article in the American Journal of Public Health notes that "psychiatric diagnosis is largely an observational tool."
"Largely for this reason, research dating back to the 1970s suggests that psychiatrists using clinical judgment are not much better than laypersons at predicting which individual patients will commit violent crimes and which will not," the authors wrote.
Cook said no single test, assessment or metric could identify a mass shooter early enough to seek mental health treatment.
She said schools should ensure that every adult in the system — teachers, bus drivers, coaches, janitors and cafeteria workers — understands warning signs of someone at risk of harming themselves or others and have systems in place to report potential threats.
But even then, she said, there are hurdles. Mental health providers are limited when a person suspected of being at risk rejects help or lies through a mental health evaluation.
Earlier this month, authorities said a white teenager in upstate New York underwent a mental health evaluation after a teacher reported a chilling comment he made in class about a murder-suicide. But he was cleared and eventually gunned down 10 Black people in a racist rampage at a supermarket in Buffalo, officials said.
And last year, prior to a shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan that left four dead, a teacher alerted school officials to drawings found on the 15-year-old suspect's desk depicting scenes of violence. A counselor showed the drawing to the suspect's parents, who were told they needed to get their son into counseling within 48 hours.
The parents, who purchased the gun used in the shooting and have since been charged with manslaughter, declined to take their son home and he was returned to the classroom. The teenager allegedly carried out the massacre later that same day. His parents have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
"At the end of the day, if somebody has access to a mechanism that might give them the capacity to do this, I don't know the answer," Cook said.
And the notion that mental health counselors can identify threats and prevent mass shootings isn't clearly backed by research.
In an article published last year in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry, the authors argue that defining a role for mental health providers in preventing massacres is "inherently difficult."
"The assumption that mass shootings are driven solely or even primarily by diagnosable psychopathology stretches the limits of mental health expertise," the article stated. "It also sets up a false expectation that advancing neuroscience and better therapies to manage psychiatric symptoms will provide 'the answer' to solving gun violence."
It continues: "There is no existing or forthcoming unified theory of impaired brain functioning or of cognitive, mood, or behavioral dysregulation that could adequately explain mass shootings or multiple-victim gun homicides."
Avoiding stigmas
The topic is complicated, yet the public discourse around it "tends to be very simplified," said Peter Langman, a psychologist who has studied mass shooters and is the author of "Warning Signs: Identifying School Shooters Before They Strike."
"We have to be careful not to stigmatize mental health issues and associate them with mass violence because that is a mistake," he said. "On the other hand, happy, well-adjusted people don't commit mass murder."
But behavioral health treatment has not been a one-size-fits-all solution in preventing massacres, he added. Langman said it requires a multi-pronged approach, including putting more threat assessment teams in schools and restricting access to firearms, particularly in homes with minors.
"There have been school shooters who were in mental health treatment who still carried out attacks because they wanted to, and they didn't disclose what was going on in their minds to the mental health professionals," Langman said.
Cook said millions of people in the U.S. have mental health issues, but the percentage of those who carry out mass murders is minuscule.
"To equate this solely to mental health is a misstep and a deflection," she said.
Less than 10 percent of shootings nationwide involve a suspect who has a mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Experts said mental health providers can only do so much, as gun violence and firearm purchases surge nationwide.
"Mental health is not going to take us all the way there," Cohen said. "The mental health community cannot solve the problem of gun violence in America." | https://news.yahoo.com/mass-shootings-difficult-prevent-mental-160939498.html | 2022-05-28T18:54:37Z | https://news.yahoo.com/mass-shootings-difficult-prevent-mental-160939498.html | false | 2 |

Australian Jai Hindley on brink of first Giro title after stealing pink jersey from Richard Carapaz
By Sophie Smith
Jai Hindley is on course to become the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia after stealing the race lead from Richard Carapaz with a blistering attack and masterful team tactics during the penultimate stage on Saturday.
The 26-year-old started stage 20 on Saturday trailing Carapaz by a mere three seconds but now has a healthy one minute and 25 second advantage on the Ecuadorian heading into Sunday’s final stage - a 17.4km time trial in Verona.
“I knew this was going to be the crucial stage of the race with the finish, I knew it was a brutal finish,” Hindley said post-race.
“If you had the legs then you could make a difference here. We stayed patient, and we really just saved our matches until today and actually, it was perfect.”
Hindley pushed himself so hard to distance Olympic gold medallist Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) in what was the final showdown in the high mountains that he initially couldn’t respond to Bora-hansgrohe teammate Lennard Kamna when he congratulated him at the end of the 167-kilometre trek to Marmolada.
“I said ‘great job’ but he’s so on the limit he couldn’t react,” Kamna told Eurosport. “I think he needs a few minutes to realise what happened and also to take a breath because he went probably completely over his limit.”
Italy’s Alessandro Covi (UAE Emirates) celebrated a solo victory on the summit finish, but attention was turned to what was ensuing behind him when Hindley made his first move with about 2.5km remaining and, with Carapaz on his wheel, distanced the main group of title favourites including Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious).
Carapaz, missing his key support rider Australian Richie Porte who was forced to withdraw from the race on Friday due to illness, was isolated, having used all his teammates. However, Hindley was able to call upon Kamna, who having spent the day further up the road in the breakaway, dropped back to help his leader.
“He couldn’t have timed it better to drop back and give me a boost up the road,” Hindley said.
Kamna paced Hindley along the upper slopes of the Passo Fedaia, setting a tempo that Carapaz could not sustain. The 2019 Giro champion began to crack with 1.9km remaining when he lost the wheel of Hindley, who took full advantage of his rival’s moment of weakness and powered ahead to finish the stage in sixth place.
“When I heard Carapaz was dropping the wheel, I just went all out,” Hindley said.
“It was an epic stage.”
Hindley has been in this position before. At the 2020 Giro d’Italia he assumed the pink leader’s jersey - or maglia rosa - at the end of the penultimate stage via a countback only to lose it in the time trial the following day. However, his advantage this season is a lot healthier and, as he told The Age at the beginning of this week, he has not raced for three weeks to “put socks on centipedes”.
“It’s always hard to say how a time trial is going to go on the last day of a three-week race, but I will die for the jersey tomorrow,” Hindley said.
“It’s the most beautiful jersey in cycling in my opinion. It’s a privilege and an honour to wear this again.”
The climber from Perth had compared Sunday’s time trial route to the one he contested at the 2019 Giro, when he made his race debut and Carapaz, 28, won the title. The pair weren’t competing for the same things then but were still close on the stage standings, with Hindley finishing only six seconds behind.
“It’s not over, there’s a hard day tomorrow, and I’m going to give it everything in the time trial,” he said.
Landa is currently third on general classification and 1:51 behind Hindley, who after a 2021 season marred by illness and injury hit the “reset” button and joined Bora-hansgrohe this year.
“I didn’t know if I was ever going to be back in the pink jersey again after two years,” Hindley said.
“It was a bumpy road back here. I didn’t know if I was going to get a chance to wear this again, but it’s just an incredible feeling.” | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cycling/australian-jai-hindley-on-brink-of-first-giro-title-after-stealing-pink-jersey-from-richard-carapaz-20220528-p5ap9x.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | 2022-05-28T19:02:28Z | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cycling/australian-jai-hindley-on-brink-of-first-giro-title-after-stealing-pink-jersey-from-richard-carapaz-20220528-p5ap9x.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | true | 8 |

PARIS — It's been so long since No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek lost — 31 matches in a row — and even since she ceded so much as a set — that last happened more than a month ago — that she could be forgiven if she couldn't recall how to react when in trouble on a tennis court.
Which is why it was worth watching as the 2020 French Open champion navigated a couple of tricky spots in the third round at Roland Garros on Saturday.
Turns out Swiatek didn't panic and didn't allow thoughts about this dominant run coming to an end distract her in what would become a 6-3, 7-5 victory against hard-hitting Danka Kovinic of Montenegro.
"Thinking about all these stats, it's not really helpful. So basically I try to be really strict in terms of my thoughts and try to really focus on ... finding solutions," said Swiatek, a 20-year-old from Poland whose last name is pronounced shvee-ON'-tek. "The thoughts are there, but I'm accepting that."
Kovinic also got a too-close-for-comfort look at Swiatek's predecessor atop the WTA rankings, the since-retired Ash Barty, during a 6-0, 6-0 loss at the Australian Open in January.
After Saturday's setback, Kovinic said she was dealing with a nerve issue in her right shoulder and felt tingling in that arm and two of her fingers. She also said she made sure to deliver a message to Swiatek when they shook hands at the net.
"I told her, 'Keep going.' It's really great for tennis, for our sport, what she's doing. Obviously, she has something extra that the rest of us don't have," the 95th-ranked Kovinic said. "She has something special. What it is, I don't know."
Well, let's try to answer. Swiatek's serve, for example, is solid but not es pecially speedy; her fastest Saturday was 108 mph, 7 mph slower than Kovinic produced. Swiatek's groundstrokes are smooth, sure, but as with anyone's are liable to waver; her forehand was particularly problematic on a windy afternoon with the temperature in the low 60s Fahrenheit (teens in Celsius), accounting for 17 of her 23 unforced errors.
Speed guns and statistics, though, can't account for two traits that stand out: an ability to remain in the moment and willingness to think her way out of a corner.
Early on, when a 3-0 lead shrank to 4-3, Swiatek grabbed eight consecutive points to own that set. In the second, she dropped four straight games to trail 5-4. Might have been time to think, "Uh, oh." Instead, Swiatek adjusted to Kovinic's style by using guile instead of attempting to match power with power, and she reeled off the last three games to finish the job.
"For sure," Swiatek said, "played a little bit more smart."
Her next opponent is Zheng Qinwen, a 19-year-old from China who is ranked 74th and in her second Grand Slam tournament.
"I really want to play against her," said Zheng, who was ahead 6-0, 3-0 when Alize Cornet stopped playing because of an injured left leg.
Other women's fourth-rounders are Jessica Pegula vs. Irina-Camelia Begu, who was fined $10,000 after she threw her racket and it bounced into the stands and brushed a child in the stands earlier in the week; Daria Kasatkina vs. Camila Giorgi; Veronika Kudermetova vs. Elena Rybakina or Madison Keys.
The relatively surprise-free men's results continued to pour in, with No. 2 Daniil Medvedev, No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas, No. 7 Andrey Rublev, No. 11 Jannik Sinner, No. 12 Hubert Hurkacz and No. 20 Marin Cilic advancing. All won in straight sets, except for Rublev, who required four.
The top seven men's seeds are into the fourth round; No. 8 Casper Ruud played later Saturday.
No. 11 Pegula, whose parents own the NFL's Buffalo Bills and NHL's Buffalo Sabres, and Swiatek are the only two of the top 15 seeds remaining in the women's bracket.
"She's kind of hit another level than all of us right now. Yeah, it's a little scary," said Pegula, who needed 10 match points to close out her first-round victory, then eight more in her next match, but sealed Saturday's 6-1, 7-6 (2) win over 2021 semifinalist Tamara Zidansek on her initial chance.
One more victory apiece, and Swiatek becomes Pegula's problem in the quarterfinals.
"Her athleticism and defensive skills are really, really good," Pegula said. "And then, I think, she's gotten much more offensive this year. Been more aggressive when she's needed to be."
Swiatek has won her past four tournaments and 48 of her past 49 sets; the exception came against Liudmila Samsonova in the semifinals at Stuttgart on April 23. The last match Swiatek lost was against 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko back on Feb. 16 in the round of 16 at Dubai.
She's won a total of 15 sets by a 6-0 score this season, but Swiatek showed Saturday she can handle it when things get tight.
"It wasn't surprising, it wasn't weird," Swiatek said. "It's not that I forgot how to play these kinds of sets."

The double threat of climate change and the global pandemic has made post-apocalyptic fiction an undeniably thriving and popular genre.
From Cormac McCarthy's The Road to Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, not to mention countless others, authors aren't getting tired of imagining what happens after the end of the world as we know it — and it appears readers aren't tired of reading about it either.
For every new conjuring of our modern lives turned upside down by wildfires, floods, and drought, the relevant question is not whether the latest post-apocalyptic work is well-written, but whether the new entrant in the category is additive. In the case of City of Orange by award-winning sci-fi author David Yoon, the answer isn't straightforward.
The book's twist on the familiar post-apocalyptic setup is that the main character can't remember anything. Adam Cheung wakes to find himself in the middle of nowhere. He remembers only that he is on Earth. He doesn't remember his name, whether he has a family, what he used to do for a living, or perhaps most importantly, how the world ended, the details of which are kept murky throughout the novel, limited to incomplete explanations such as the following, from a character Adam meets:
"I mean, first there's the whole financial meltdown, then all the investors pull out, then a fire hits. The flames were scary huge. The river was the only thing that kept us from burning up with it, like a firebreak? . . . That was like six months ago . . ."
Adam is Tom Hanks in Castaway without Wilson the Volleyball, though there is a talking crow. Adam has to find water, boil it, and forage. Adam spends much of the book piecing together his past via flashbacks while figuring out how to survive. His backstory is a tragic one. Before the apocalypse, his wife and young child were killed in an auto accident, rear-ended during a traffic stop by a car leading the police on a high-speed chase. The flashbacks, intended to make Adam's pre-apocalyptic existence relatable to readers, start to feel like less than the sum of their parts as the book goes on. By the second half of the novel, we're not learning much new information about Adam's family, only that Adam is still mourning.
What he does and doesn't remember also seems somewhat arbitrary. Adam's internal monologues occasionally slip into '90s slang. Adam observes that a fellow survivor is "insane in the membrane," a phrase made popular by the 1993 Cypress Hill song of the same title. Later in the book, however, he struggles to remember the financial term "underwater" and initially thinks of the word's literal meaning.
Amidst the survivalist misery, City of Orange poses an interesting question about manmade climate catastrophes. At one point, Adam thinks:
"If Man is fundamentally evil, the evil is simply an inescapable part of nature. Man creates tools, discovers fires, leaps to the top of the food chain. Creates culture and science. Then sets about murdering himself in the pursuit of dominance . . . If Man is fundamentally evil, is this apocalypse really anything to mourn?"
The narrative, however, doesn't answer this question. Adam doesn't have anything to do with the apocalypse, and the apocalypse doesn't have anything to do with the loss of his family. The metaphysics of humanity's negligence of its responsibility for the planet's survival aren't addressed thematically or through the book's characters.
It's not until Adam encounters a teen named Clay that the novel begins to serve up some surprises. The boy lives in a solar-powered model home with video games and basic cable. Clay turns on the news to show Adam that the apocalypse he believes has occurred might not have occurred for everyone everywhere. When Clay's mother shows up in a van to take her son to her sister's house, it becomes clear that, for some, the world might be just fine.
Perhaps the most memorable scene happens near the end of the book when Adam meets a man in a sea kayak, fully equipped with "seventy-two thousand calories of durable rations in waterproof containers plus a water purifier below deck." The man intends to paddle from Orange County to Hawaii. City of Orange could have used more inspired, surreal exchanges like that one to transcend the post-apocalyptic genre tropes that this novel mostly rehashes, rather than reinvents.

Ms. Smallback
May 28, 2022
A new friend in the faith asked me a couple days ago how I got to this point in my faith (of praying, trusting, and believing for my health). I just want to explain it so I don’t look so superhuman. I am not.
My background taught me there was no human I could rely on. My parents were not safe; my siblings were not safe; my friends were not of any depth or substance. I was seeking something to send roots into because I was tired of being tossed around by all the chaos and turmoil in my life. God seemed the safest bet. So in a way, God has been the only sure thing for me, the thing I could say was consistent. After observing hundreds of lives in the crossroads of my own, I do think not having a solid foundation was the epitome of Romans 8:28 for me. The void of no one to trust or protect caused me to seek the One who could.
Who made your body?
I think it all began for me in 1995, when I was in a situation I needed to be awake at a certain time and I had no electricity where I was and no way to set an alarm. I was probably more stressed about it than I should have been, but I was actually praying about it and the Spirit said, “Who made your body?” [It resonated as the Voice that asked Moses, “Who made man’s mouth?”] I replied with the obvious, “You did.” To which God responded, “If I made your body, don’t you think I can wake it?”
When He said it like that I felt pretty silly. Of course God can wake me. So I turned that over to Him that evening. He woke me at the right time to get home, showered and to work like I needed. That night I was back in my bed (with electricity), and as I reached to set my alarm it seemed silly. If God could wake me that morning, why couldn’t He wake me every morning? It seemed going backwards in faith to now set my alarm. So I didn’t. And God woke me, as He has done faithfully for 27+ years now. I have never set an alarm and He has never failed me, regardless of what time I needed to be up.
This set a precedent for me of trusting God. In a place where I have learned to trust Him, it seems backwards, counterproductive, and failure of faith to return to the systems of the world. The key here is “in the place where I have learned to trust Him”. There are still many places I have not learned to trust Him, but I am knocking them out one by one.
I started here first…
So in the case of health and healing, I actually started with my mental health. After a childhood of dysfunction and abuse, I was quite conflicted with severe issues of anger and rage, insecurity and self-loathing, wrong thinking and fortified defenses, and many other things. I could not find peace no matter what my intellectual mind did for learning and understanding. So I sought God. Without going into that journey, I will highlight one particular point.
A worship song was playing in my home as I went about my chores. As I crossed the threshold from the dining room to the kitchen, the Lord asked, “Do you trust Me, Michelle?” What a redundant question, I thought! As I went to respond with the obvious “of course”, I checked myself and realized I couldn’t say it with complete honesty. After a pause, I heard myself say, “I don’t think I do. I want to, but I don’t think I do, God.”
And that was the beginning of my great deliverance – when I realized I didn’t even trust God. I knew I didn’t trust any human (Bill was close, though). But I did not realize I had reserves of caution and distrust toward God.
As He spent the next several months exposing mindsets and self-sabotages, I gradually learned to trust Him. He led me out of the prisons of my heart and mind and I was released from my captivity into the exciting narrow path of walking with Him. Hinds’ Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard is particularly dear to me for the parallels I could draw.
Some time after that I embarked on a journey of learning to trust Him with my physical needs.
My initial learning process
The precursor for it actually started before my deliverance when a neighbor knocked on our door and said, “I know you’re a praying family. We have a cousin who’s dying. Will you pray for her?” Amy was 32 with a husband and young son, and had something happen to her brain that left her in a coma and they were told she would be dying in a matter of days. I responded yes and we set a time in a couple days to go pray for her in the evening when Bill got off work.
In the meantime I searched the Scripture and I fasted. I wrote down every place Jesus healed someone, raised the dead, or otherwise performed a miracle. I meditated on these things and recalled that Christ said we would do even greater works. I recalled that our mandate is to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out demons. By the time we went to pray for Amy my body was fasted, my faith was solid, and I was convinced God would heal her. We prayed for hours over her unconscious body and finally left. I waited to see what God would do. A few days later Amy died.
This was one of a few crises of faith I had. This one resulted in me yelling at God, throwing my Bible in a heap on the floor, and walking away. For two weeks… until I got past the rage, the disappointment, the dismay. The Lord beckoned me to meet with Him. I angrily stomped up the stairs and picked up the now bent-up Bible off the floor where I had thrown it two weeks earlier, and I went to sit before Him with one question, “Why?”
He did answer. He said, “Say Proverbs 3:5-6.” Man that made me angry! I retorted something along the lines of that being one of the most basic Scriptures that everyone knew. He waited. Finally I angrily and quickly said aloud, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” He said, “Say it again.” I repeated it. He said, “Say it again.”
This time when I said it…. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” He said “STOP. Repeat that part again.” I repeated it. Then He said, “Repeat that last part again.”
“Lean not on your own understanding.” Say it again, He said. Lean not on your own understanding. Say it again, He said again. Lean not on your own understanding. Now the tears were streaming down my face. I did not know then why Amy had to die. She was so young with a very young son. But I learned what I needed to learn at that point in my faith walk. I must not lean on my own understanding.
I studied God’s Word and the life of Jesus. I applied His truths as I understood them. I was sure He was going to heal Amy and He didn’t. My understanding failed; not God.
The health road on my journey
This would be the backdrop that I would frame my healing adventures years later after my trauma healing. Years later our family embarked on a journey of learning how to pray for healing. For a decade we did not go to the doctor for an illness. We prayed until we got our healing. This is very hard to do with small children. It’s one thing to suffer in pain until you get the breakthrough; it’s quite another to watch your small child suffer.
It seemed each time we were on the brink of giving in and going to the doctor, we’d have a breakthrough. I remember a time Isabelle was maybe three or four and had an ear infection, high fever and was crying quite a bit. I knew four o’clock was the latest I could wait before taking her to our doctor. I called Bill on his UPS route and arranged to meet him in a parking lot. I thought maybe we needed stronger prayer agreement and two of us together would help. I resolved that if it didn’t I would take her to the doctor, but I sought God’s healing fervently. I parked the car, brought Isabelle to the hood of the car and set her down. Bill walked up, laid his hand on her forehead and commanded her healing. She felt a pop in her ear, stopped crying and started talking. Her fever was gone as well as the pain.
I have dozens of stories like this. We simply learned how to pray, how to persevere, and how to listen. I’ve held a woman’s foot in my hand and commanded her leg to grow and watched it grow two inches in my hand. She had special shoes and had to discard her shoes after that. I’ve prayed for two people on their death bed who turned around and lived after that. I’ve also failed to bring instant healing through prayer many times, but watched God bring healing through a process of days, weeks and months.
I haven’t been to a doctor for illness in about twenty three years, (with three exceptions worth their own stories but not enough time here). I’ve also studied how to walk in health and use natural means for healing, but that’s another story too.
This is my personal journey
I don’t expect anyone else to have the same convictions I do, and I have no judgment for anyone for going to a doctor. I happen to believe in the concept of personal freedom and sovereignty. I’d like to follow hard after my God according to my faith and allow others to do the same.
This faith journey I’m on is less about healing and more about trust. I am learning how to trust God with as much of my life and every aspect of my life that I can. I didn’t come out of the womb with these convictions; they have grown as my walk with Him has. Everyone is at their own place in faith (or no place), and to expect another to have the same convictions as I is a religious spirit. (I have no time for religion. The opposite of religion is freedom, and it is for freedom Christ has set us free.) God is personal. He knows His children individually. While He has a Book of instructions, it is filled with nuances and seeming paradoxes. As we grow in our relationship with Him, He illuminates understanding and if we are serious about following Him, we submit to His leadership.
This year I’ve had a kidney stone and later appendicitis. I prayed for my healing, and then I had to walk it out. It took some time and I suffered for a while. If at any point God had instructed me to get medical intervention, I would have obeyed Him. He did not, and so I sought His healing and He healed me.
My personal conviction is God is my God of every aspect of my life. Maybe I haven’t surrendered every aspect to Him and there are areas that still need revealed to me, but for the ones I am cognizant of, I seek His counsel and place myself under His leadership.
I don’t expect anyone to share my convictions. This isn’t written to condemn or exhort another to just stand in faith. This was written to share my account in hopes it will encourage other believers to see the faithfulness of God and His trustworthiness. God can be trusted.
Lastly…
I remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego stood on their convictions which led to being thrown in the fiery furnace. They said their God was able to save them, but even if He didn’t, they would not bow the knee to the false gods of Babylon.
That always struck me. God can, but He may not. Nevertheless my convictions will fall on trusting God and staying true to His supreme sovereignty, and I will accept the fate that comes. I laid in my bed the night my appendix had been inflamed for twenty hours and counting and the pain was increasing, and I recognized that it may rupture in the night and I may very well die. The medical community is very clear on that reality. And I yielded back to my God. I’d trusted Him with numerous ailments over the years. Was this going to be the one that I acquiesced to? Was this the one that was too big for my God? How could I go from trusting Him to seeking the wisdom and hand of man? I could not.
I met Henry Gruver in person. I heard his account of falling and breaking his leg and commanding it to be healed and put back in right order. I knew he refused to go to the doctor. For days he dragged his useless leg around, in pain, commanding it to be restored. I can’t remember if it was five or fifteen days later that it was healed, but it was.
Russell Conwell committed to working sixteen hours every day, eight for his own life and another eight for John Ring’s (who gave his life in the war to save his). He went on to write, practice law and real estate, become an esteemed national speaker, and found Temple University with those sixteen hour days.
Brother Yun was languishing in a Chinese prison and went an impossible 72 days without food or water, praying for the deliverance of God. The prison doors were opened (like they were for Paul and Silas) and he walked out to an awaiting taxi, and then went on to strengthen the underground Chinese church.
John Lake refused to accept the inheritance of infirmity that ran through his family. He labored in prayer and seeking the Word for his healing. When he got it, he turned his attention on bringing that same healing to all around him.
It seems to me that the systems of the world are devoid of the power of God, and that the average status quo Christian is but a reflection of the world. We don’t change it by looking like it, or succumbing to its tenets, principles and rules. We’re not supposed to be a mirror but light and salt. The radical believers who refuse to adhere to the world’s systems, whether they be medical, political, social, etc. are the ones who bring the changes and demonstrate there is a superior kingdom to the inferior kingdom of earth.
I’d just encourage believers today to trust God for the thing before them. Whatever the mountain, you can speak to it. But first, take your eyes off the obstacle and reach the unseen hand of God. Tell Him you trust Him. Seek His wisdom and direction for the thing you’re dealing with. Resist the temptation to resort to the familiar systems you’ve been inundated with in this world, and seek instead God’s ways. They rarely if ever look like the world. Make it a matter of trust and then the faith will come.

BAHAWALPUR: PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz Saturday urged the judiciary to remain “impartial” and maintain a distance from PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s politics.
Speaking at a public gathering in Bahawalpur, the PML-N vice president said: “Imran Khan, the revolution that you want to bring through the Supreme Court, the SC itself, along with the people of Pakistan, will foil it.”
Maryam said Khan first drags institutions into politics and then utters abusive words for them.
“Therefore, with respect, I want to ask the Supreme Court to maintain distance from the politics of this anarchist (Khan) as the Supreme Court is an institution of Pakistan and it should remain impartial,” she added.
She said that Khan’s long march had failed, and this time, he sought help from the apex court. “Is this the court’s job to save Imran Khan from his failures?” asked Maryam.
Although the PTI ended its long march earlier this week, the chairman has said that the party would come back on the streets with “complete preparations” if the government does not meet its six-day ultimatum to hold elections in June.
Moving on, the PML-N leader said that Pakistan faces no danger from foreign powers but the country faces a threat in the form of Khan. “Pakistan is at risk from the fitna and fasad — Imran Khan,” she added.
The PML-N vice president said that the coalition government had to increase the prices of petroleum products because of the agreement between Khan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“Shehbaz Sharif announced the biggest relief package of Rs28 billion for the nation in the history of Pakistan,” said Maryam, adding that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz will take the country out of the crisis within a few months.
“Khan started begging Nawaz Sharif two days before the march to announce a date for the elections when he saw that his march was failing and said he would call off the march in return,” claimed the PML-N leader.
She said that the ex-PM could not even gather 25,000 people from all over the country, and then he claims that the preparations were not done.
“You used all the resources from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and gave money to your leaders to gather people for the march,” she added.
Criticising the former prime minister further, Maryam asked: “You failed to prepare for the march, but you prepared to set fire and attack the police?”
The PML-N vice president also said that ever since Khan was ousted, he started worrying about inflation.
“Khan said he was about to strike a deal with Russia to get oil at cheaper rates. Why did the agreement not take place?” she asked.
“Were you waiting for Farah Gogi’s signature on the agreement?” asked Maryam, adding that “when the time came for Gogi to sign, she escaped Pakistan to Dubai. | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/28/maryam-urges-judiciary-to-remain-impartial-maintain-distance-from-imran-khan/ | 2022-05-28T19:26:26Z | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/05/28/maryam-urges-judiciary-to-remain-impartial-maintain-distance-from-imran-khan/ | false | 3 |

In a world that is perilous and filled with material conscious people, the need to have faith and focus on God becomes imperative and imminent, though the world might be going irreligious, that doesn’t mean that God hasn’t been showing himself or manifesting for people to believe that God is still what He said He is which is Magnificent.

(The Hill) – President Biden urged graduates at the University of Delaware to get involved in public life and be part of the future of the nation during commencement remarks on Saturday.
Biden, who graduated from the university in the 1960s, said that the students were graduating at a “defining time.”
“There’s one message I hope you take from me today: This is no time to be on the sidelines. It’s not hyperbole. I mean it from the bottom of my heart,” Biden said to a sea of graduates clad in blue robes.
“We need all of you to get engaged in public life and the life of this nation.”
Biden addressed the unique challenges he said the 2022 graduating class faced, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing distrust of institutions in the U.S.
“In the last five years since many of you were in high school, America’s faced some of its most difficult tests. A global pandemic ended a million lives in America alone,” Biden said. “And the crisis of faith in institutions, however flawed they may be, serve as the infrastructure for the American experiment.”
“What you’ve been through the past four years … you could not have imagined when you graduated from high school. Campus shutdowns, classes on Zoom, the world turned upside down, but you got through it,” he added.
Biden then reminisced on his time after college when he joined politics to fight for civil rights, and attempted to connect the period in the 1960s to the struggles America faces today.
Biden then jabbed at “prominent leaders” who breathe “oxygen under the rock” where hateful ideas are hiding, saying it eventually “comes roaring back out.” He then listed a series of events like those in Charlottesville, Virginia; the Jan. 6 Capitol riot; and the recent shootings this month that left dozens of people, including children, dead.
“Let’s be clear, evil came to that elementary school classroom in Texas and that grocery store in New York.”
Biden mentioned his upcoming trip to Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday, to meet with the parents and families affected by the shooting, saying “as I speak, those parents are literally preparing to bury their children.”
“We cannot outlaw tragedy, I know, but we can make America safer.”
Earlier this month, a gunman shot and killed 10 people in a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket. The supermarket was located in a predominantly Black neighborhood, and the suspect is believed to espouse racist conspiracy theories.
On Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Ramos, entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, with military-grade weapons and killed 19 children and two teachers.
In spite of tragedy, Biden told the graduating class they will be defining America’s future and can make a brighter trajectory for the nation.
“I call all Americans this hour to join hands and make your voices heard and work together to make this nation what it can and should be,” Biden said.
“Your generation makes me more optimistic. I’ve said it many times … your generation is the most generous, the most tolerant, the least prejudiced, the best-educated generation this nation has ever known and that’s a simple fact.” | https://www.wbtw.com/nexstar-media-wire/biden-to-delaware-graduates-no-time-to-sit-on-the-sidelines/ | 2022-05-28T19:47:57Z | https://www.wbtw.com/nexstar-media-wire/biden-to-delaware-graduates-no-time-to-sit-on-the-sidelines/ | true | 18 |

“It is a sin that this young depraved man, not a boy, went and killed Ruth Whitfield and the ‘Buffalo 10,’” Crump said, referring to the victims.
Whitfield had been inside the supermarket after visiting her husband of 68 years in a nursing home when a gunman identified by police as 18-year-old Payton Gendron began the deadly onslaught.
Authorities said Gendron, who is white, targeted the store three hours from his home in Conklin because it is in a predominantly Black neighborhood.
In all, 13 people were shot in the attack which federal authorities are investigating as a hate crime. Three people survived.
Whitfield was the mother of former Buffalo Fire Commissioner Garnell Whitfield.
Gendron is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail. His attorney has entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.
Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff visited a memorial outside the Tops Friendly Market after the funeral. The vice president laid flowers, and the pair paused to pray for several minutes.

Today — May 28 — is National Hamburger Day, and it’s well justified. Most of us savor a burger off the grill, the kitchen skillet, or from one of the 80,000 burger restaurants in the U.S. with a market over $100 billion. The burger is ranked third among America’s popular dishes, right after mashed potatoes and French fries. Why? Because it’s tasty, convenient, relatively inexpensive, comes in dozens of variations — meat to meatless, and with a range of condiments and sides. And when barbecued, the burger brings us together.
It’s hard to imagine America without the hamburger, but change is in the wind. Yes, a changing climate is changing the burger.
Let’s start with the main ingredient in the typical burger — beef. Unfortunately, like humans, the health of beef cattle are at increasing risks from higher temperatures and droughts. Heat stress increases the chance for disease, decreases the rate of growth, and can even cause death in cattle. Droughts, which we are already experiencing, are expected to increase and intensify in coming years — dramatically impacting the vast grazing lands covering about 40 percent of the U.S. land area. Grains needed by cattle are also facing increasing threats — all contributing to higher prices for beef.
Next comes the bun, which is typically made from wheat. Because of warming, wheat will actually expand production into new areas in the U.S. over the next 30 years, but then level off, only to face a severe global water shortage later in the century. The war in Ukraine is currently causing price increases for wheat, but climate change is its biggest long-term threat. In the U.S., vast stores of groundwater for irrigation are rapidly being depleted, threatening the future of grain production and much more. And one of the hidden changes is the decrease in the nutritional quality of wheat as carbon dioxide levels increase. That’s not necessarily a big deal for a burger bun in the U.S., but it is for the millions of people already on marginal diets worldwide.
Now let’s consider what we add to our burgers for flavor, juiciness, and texture. Change is happening here too, some good, but most, not so good.
With increasing carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, tomatoes may be sweeter and have more vitamin C. But if too hot, tomato plants produce fewer fruit, or the fruit get sunburned and don’t grow to full size. Heat can also impact onions, which become more pungent when it’s too hot. Lettuce yields are predicted to increase under higher levels of carbon dioxide in the future. It’s possible lettuce might be grown year-round as winter warms. However, when it gets too warm the lettuce can have a strong and bitter taste.
Ketchup that is used by 310 million Americans is made from processing tomatoes, most of which come from California, where heat and drought have taken a toll. Mustard is in short supply now and getting pricier because of drought and flooding in Canada. Spices like ginger and cloves — sometimes added to these condiments — are at increasing risk, and so is regular sugar and high fructose corn syrup used in ketchup. Hot peppers will get hotter. Finally, the cheese in the cheeseburger will likely take a hit because hot cows produce less milk.
Enough already?
What can be done to keep the beef burger on the grill? A lot.
Scientists are working hard to develop crops that can withstand what climate change throws at them and maintain their nutritional quality. They are seeking ways to help reduce emissions from cattle. Farming and ranching are already tough professions and getting tougher, but farmers and ranchers are using climate smart practices to stay in business and produce the food we love and need. They need our respect and support.
Consumers can also play a role in saving beef burgers by eating fewer of them. It’s better for our health and the climate. Beef generates about 50 times more greenhouse gas emissions than wheat to produce an ounce of protein. Consider a plant-based diet and treating beef as a delicacy and not a staple.
Let’s celebrate National Hamburger Day but realize that everything we eat is changing in subtle or profound ways, as our climate changes. And keeping our food supply affordable, plentiful, and diverse is going to require everyone. Can we use the common ground of food to work together? We all eat. This could be one step in the right direction to saving not only the hamburger but maybe something much greater — our future.
Mike Hoffmann is professor emeritus at Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and a faculty fellow with the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. He is lead author of “Our changing menu: Climate change and the foods we love and need.” He has done a TEDx, “Climate Change: It’s time to raise our voices," and teaches an eCornell climate change leadership course. | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/122-us-politics/944387-the-hamburger-is-an-american-staple-climate-change-threatens-it-in-profound-and-subtle-ways | 2022-05-28T19:52:29Z | https://thedailyripple.org/index.php/component/content/article/122-us-politics/944387-the-hamburger-is-an-american-staple-climate-change-threatens-it-in-profound-and-subtle-ways | true | 2 |
The Telegram Way
Back in 2013, when we were launching Telegram, we carefully considered both approaches. We knew we didn’t want to violate our users’ privacy by shifting the responsibility for their data to third-party backups like WhatsApp or Viber do. Neither did we want to deprive our users of functionality that they enjoyed in other apps and doom Telegram to join the ranks of niche apps.
So after some research we decided to introduce 2 kinds of chats – Secret chats and Cloud chats.
Secret chats are e2e-encrypted chats that never under any circumstances get backed up. Cloud chats are encrypted in the same way, but also have a built-in cloud backup. Cloud chats are designed for the majority of users – the majority that in another app like WhatsApp would rely on less secure third-party backup storage. Unlike what you have in niche apps, the traffic between cloud chat users and secret chat users on Telegram is mixed (the encryption is the same in both cases, but in cloud chats our servers do have access to the encryption key), so individuals can not be singled out and targeted based on the fact that they use secret chats and thus have something to hide.
4 Reasons Why The Telegram Way Makes More Sense
There are four main reasons why we decided to use two types of chats as opposed to having one type of chats like older apps such as WhatsApp:
1) Unlike WhatsApp, we don’t give out our users’ data to third parties via backups. Instead, we rely on our own distributed cross-jurisdictional encrypted cloud storage which we believe is much more protected than what megacorporations like Google and Apple can offer. To give you an idea about this difference: while Telegram has disclosed no private data to third-parties from its cloud so far, this year alone Apple satisfied 80% of data requests from the Chinese (!) government (and is even building a data-center for private iCloud data in China).
2) Unlike WhatsApp, we can allow our users to access their Telegram message history from several devices at once thanks to our built-in instant cloud sync. Thus we can provide easy and consistent UX on macs, PCs, iPads and even linux servers.
3) Unlike on WhatsApp, on Telegram you don’t have to store your entire message history on your phone all the time – you can always download older messages and media on demand when you need them. This saves a lot of disk space and memory, which is particularly important for our users in the developing markets. On Telegram, shortage of local storage never leads to data loss.
4) Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is able to provide its users with advanced functionality, such as persistent group chats with up to 10,000 members or channels with no limit on max size. These technologies can not be implemented within the “e2ee+third-party backups” paradigm. Our roadmap is filled with features that are impossible to build on a obsolete architecture like WhatsApp's that has to rely on third-party backups instead of relying on its own built-in cloud accessible in real-time.
These are the reasons why we, ultimately, decided to go with the “two kinds of chats” approach, which is more secure (Telegram cloud is better protected than Apple/Google storage), more transparent (you can actually see which of your e2e-encrypted messages go to the cloud and which don’t) and more feature-rich (we can implement features that I mentioned above and many more in the future). We believe our “two kinds of chats” approach makes more sense in the long run, which is why it has since been copied by Kakao (2014), Line (2015), and last year by Google Allo and Facebook Messenger. These companies did their own research that proved that the Telegram way is more scalable, secure and transparent.

In the special video, Deepika can be seen recollecting her childhood story of being educated about the period even before her school started menstrual education.
The actress, in the video, says: "I will never forget this moment where my best friend (Divya) and I were sat down by both of our mothers and her mom took charge of guiding us about periods - from explaining 'what periods are' to 'why it happens'."
"I am really grateful for how she took us through this conversation with extreme comfort, empathy, and patience. I look back on it as one of the most notable moments while growing up, and I wish to spread the word across the world in a similar manner", the "Chennai Express" star added.
The 'Period Story' is a special video by fem-tech brand Nua. Ravi Ramachandran, Founder, and CEO, Nua, in a statement, called it "a conversation that does not deserve a hushed tone.

NBA Team Hijacks Moment of Silence, Tells Audience to Demand Gun Control from Lawmakers
The Miami Heat took advantage of a moment of silence the NBA observed Wednesday in honor of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting victims to promote anti-gun legislation.
“The Heat Organization, the Boston Celtics and the NBA family also mourn those who lost their lives in the senseless shooting that took place yesterday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas,” the stadium announcer began ahead of an Eastern Conference Finals game between the Heat and Boston Celtics at FTX Arena in Miami.
Nineteen children and two adults were shot to death on Tuesday when an 18-year-old gunman staged a massacre at the school.
“Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and friends, and the entire Robb Elementary School and Uvalde community,” the announcer said.
“Our hope is that the families, friends, co-workers and loved ones of all those impacted by this tragedy will find the comfort and strength they need as they carry on in honor of those whose lives were lost,” he said before asking everyone at the venue to observe a moment of silence in honor of the deceased.
After thanking everyone for joining the NBA in observing the moment of silence, things took a political turn.
“The Heat urges you to contact your state’s senators by calling 202-224-3121 to leave a message demanding their support for common-sense gun laws,” the announcer said, providing the number of the switchboard at the U.S. Capitol.
“You can also make change at the ballot box. Visit Heat.com/vote to register and let your voice be heard this fall,” he said.

Tonight we held a moment of silence for those who lost their lives in multiple tragedies in TX.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who has spoken out in favor of gun control and against Republican politicians on many occasions, did so again on Tuesday night.
“When are we going to do something?” Kerr said. “I’m tired — I’m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I’m so tired. Excuse me. I’m sorry. I’m tired of moments of silence. Enough.”
“There’s 50 senators right now who refuse to vote on HR 8, which is a background check rule that the House passed a couple years ago,” he said. “It’s been sitting there for two years. And there’s a reason they won’t vote on it: to hold on to power.”

Political statements are no strangers to the NBA. The league and many of its teams and players have openly advocated for left-wing political causes.
One of the political statements the NBA encouraged in recent years was the dishonor of the national anthem through officially sanctioned Black Lives Matter protests.
The league permitted athletes to desecrate “The Star-Spangled Banner” by kneeling when it was played before games instead of asking them to stand up and show respect for the anthem.
Gosh, @Kaepernick7 really started something! Players, coaches, game officials all take a knee during the National anthem before the NBA kicked off its delayed season. New Orleans Pelicans versus Utah Jazz. #BLM https://t.co/GSjIiNX88c pic.twitter.com/9dAwzSS0xB

But when it comes to issues such as the deteriorating human rights situation in Chinese-ruled Hong Kong or the Chinese Communist Party’s mass internment and repression of Uyghurs, the league and many of its leaders have turned a blind eye to injustice in favor of appealing to the lucrative and large Chinese market.
When then-Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey shared a now-deleted tweet in 2019 expressing support for Hong Kong demonstrators protesting against CCP repression in the city, the NBA issued a statement calling Morey’s comments “regrettable,” Time reported.
“We have great respect for the history and culture of China and hope that sports and the NBA can be used as a unifying force to bridge cultural divides and bring people together,” the league said.
The NBA went further in the statement’s Chinese version, saying, “We are deeply disappointed about Morey’s inappropriate comment and he undoubtedly has hurt Chinese fans’ feelings severely.”
Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta declared on Twitter that Morey “does NOT speak” for the team and that the NBA is “NOT a political organization.”
Listen….@dmorey does NOT speak for the @HoustonRockets. Our presence in Tokyo is all about the promotion of the @NBA internationally and we are NOT a political organization. @espn https://t.co/yNyQFtwTTi

When former Boston Celtics player and human rights activist Enes Kanter Freedom spoke out against China’s genocide of the Uyghurs, league officials pressured him to not be explicit about his condemnation of China’s human rights violations, the player revealed in a November interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
.@EnesKanter says that he doesn’t care about the cost that he may face from criticizing China. But are the NBA concerned? Kanter told me he has discussed it with commissioner Adam Silver. “I told him… am I breaking any rules?”

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida pointed out the NBA’s hypocritical duality in its approach to social justice in a Wednesday tweet responding to the Heat’s attempt to turn the moment of silence for the Uvalde victims into a political stunt.
The @NBA doesn’t like to talk about the billions they make from a China that enslaves Uyghur Muslims and harvests their organs
But they have no problem politicizing a horrific tragedy in America pic.twitter.com/VUXpOBbw7j

Premier League new boys Fulham and Middlesbrough set for transfer battle over Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres
COVENTRY CITY striker Viktor Gyokeres is wanted by both Fulham and Middlesbrough.
The Swedish international caught the eye with his displays for the Sky Blues in the Championship this term.
He scored 18 goals in 47 matches for Mark Robins’ men.
Now that form has caught the eye of their rivals - and the club could cash in.
Promotion winners Fulham are keen on the 23-year-old ahead of their return to the Premier League.
And Championship rivals Middlesbrough are also interested.
Chris Wilder’s side, who just missed out on the play-offs, are desperate for attacking reinforcements as their boss looks to bring in a new strike force.
Meanwhile, Coventry could bring in Crystal Palace starlet Luke Plange as a replacement.
The 19-year-old forward was loaned back to Wayne Rooney’s Derby after signing for Palace in January.
He made 24 appearances for the relegated Rams and scored four goals.

He could now be on his way back to the Midlands.
Coventry’s Robins has already made an inquiry for Plange.
And Palace manager Patrick Vieira is keen for Plange to play and develop following his breakthrough season at Pride Park. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18716218/fulham-middlesbrough-transfer-coventry-viktor-gyokeres/ | 2022-05-28T20:04:03Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18716218/fulham-middlesbrough-transfer-coventry-viktor-gyokeres/ | true | 1 |

Another great chance for Liverpool. Sadio Mane just danced through two Real Madrid defenders and released a shot on goal which Courtois managed to tip onto the right post. What a close shave there for Los Blancos. This is heating up!
Champions League final LIVE updates: Liverpool v Real Madrid
Latest posts
Sadio Mane hits the post!
Salah gets the first shot on goal
And it’s saved by Thibault Courtois, a low one-handed stop after Mohamed Salah side-footed a cutback from Trent Alexander-Arnold. That was in approximately the 15th minute.
The Reds are starting to gain the ascendancy now, it’s Real Madrid sitting back, soaking up the pressure and hoping to spring forward using the pace of Vinicius Jr.
Again, now, another shot from Salah at the top of the box. Saved again. But the pattern of this match is now clear.
It’s been a tense opening
We’re 10 minutes down with no shots on goal so far, with Liverpool and Real Madrid just feeling each other out. The share of possession has been reasonably even, nothing really incisive yet from either team. The vibes in the stadium seem absolutely incredible.
Finally, we have begun
We’re under way in Paris, 36 minutes after we were originally scheduled to start. Better late than never. Great atmosphere coming through the TV!
We’re nearly there
The planned pre-match entertainment has just wrapped up and let’s say that anyone who was trapped outside the ground might be feeling grateful for that for the first time tonight. Tonally, given the scenes around the stadium, that was very jarring. Let’s hope everyone has gotten in safe by now.
The teams are in the tunnel, so we’re not too far away from go-time. Finally.
New kick-off time: 5.36am
It’s official, we have a new kick-off time, it’s about 15 minutes away. Bear with us.
Fair to say this is a disaster
It shouldn’t be this hard to get people into a stadium, should it? Now people are scaling fences to get in. We never seem to have these problems in Australia...
The teams are warming up again...
Well, Liverpool are out there at least. Still waiting on Real Madrid. We’re less than 10 minutes away from when we’re supposed to start. That seems a little ambitious to me - in fact, the word is now that kick-off will be 5.30am.
People aren’t happy
UEFA appears to be blaming the issues around the stadium on the fans for turning up late. According to people on the ground, that’s hogwash.
The match will begin at 5.15am
Hopefully, anyway. The reports from outside the ground are not good, to say the least. | https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/champions-league-final-live-updates-liverpool-v-real-madrid-20220527-p5ap2u.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | 2022-05-28T20:05:17Z | https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/champions-league-final-live-updates-liverpool-v-real-madrid-20220527-p5ap2u.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_sport | true | 2 |

After 19 children and two teachers were killed in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, many Americans are wondering how safe their schools are.
The timeline around the shooting is murky but early reports indicate police waited at least 40 minutes for a tactical team to arrive while the shooter was inside the school.
Law enforcement in Stanley and Hughes counties train annually to ensure adequate response in the event of mass shooting.
“We do training and active shooter training. Usually with the schools, we bring law enforcement in, we also bring fire and EMS in and we’ll have training meetings ahead of time. And we will actually do active shooter training within the schools, within the courthouse, different buildings we’ve set up,” Rob Fines, Hughes and Stanley County emergency management director, said.
The most recent active shooter drill took place in Georgia Morse Middle School last year. In the drill, law enforcement, fire departments and EMS responded to an active shooter in the school and on the football field.
The training encompassed all aspects of a mass shooting from negotiation to neutralizing a threat to medical care.
U.S. Marshals, FBI, South Dakota Highway Patrol, Pierre Police Department, Stanley and Hughes County Sheriff’s Offices and South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks all participate in active shooter training.
Vast law enforcement resources are one of the benefits of living in Pierre and Fort Pierre, PPD Police Capt. Bryan Walz said.
“Even though we are a rural community, we are very lucky that we have a vast amount of resources within the City of Pierre. Being the seat of state government … We can draw from all of those resources should a situation such as that occur,” Walz said.
The city has a SWAT team ready, composed of members of the Pierre Police Department and the Hughes County Sheriff’s Office.
Local law enforcement is able to learn from other mass casualty events and apply that to their response.
“There’s an after action report that’s put out to law enforcement. Things that went right, things that went wrong, things that we can do better. Every single situation is a learning situation whether it’s something as simple as a traffic stop or a mass casualty incident,” Walz said.
Fines said local law enforcement has practiced active shooter drills for the last 10-15 years. Over that period of time, they’ve adjusted some of their methods.
“If there was any kind of change to it, it would be the response. Maybe many, many years ago law enforcement would show up and wait for a second officer to show up. But now, it’s first there, first in, go. There’s no hesitation, you just go,” Fines said.
Fines also assists with training in other counties for active shooter drills.
“I’ve done it in different communities, active shooter exercises. We do a lot of it, more than I wish we had to. I wish we didn’t have to do any, but we do a lot if,” he said.
Pierre School District Safety Coordinator Todd Johnson said schools do a lot of preparation to ensure the safety of staff and students.
“A huge part of what we do is preparation. So people like to use the word mitigation. I’m not a big fan of using mitigation because mitigation means you’re trying to plan to keep things not as bad. We really try to do what we can to keep things from happening,” Johnson said.
A big part of preparation is creating a climate and culture where problems can be addressed immediately.
Both T.F. Riggs High School and Georgia Morse Middle School have on-site school resource officers. The officers also spend time at the elementary schools as needed.
Johnson said a number of security measures are in place at the schools and additional measures, such as bag searches, can be enacted if needed.
There are two types of risk — external and internal.
Elementary and middle schools are more prone to external risk, where an outside party intends to cause harm, Johnson said.
Because of that threat, school doors remain locked and visitors can only enter through a locked front door once they are verified by staff.
High schools are more prone to internal threats from students or staff. This is because schools typically have open campuses where students can come and go depending on their schedule.
“The high school is different because we have an open campus … we have the same lockdown system at the high school where they have to come to the front door and be identified before they come in. But the thing is we have a lot of students coming in and out where they have the ability to bring something back in,” Johnson said.
South Dakota has the School Sentinel Program, enacted in 2013, where authorized staff are allowed to keep a secured firearm on campus.
Johnson, who was in law enforcement for 12 years, completed the two week training last year.
No staff in the Pierre School District have elected to take the training.
Gun Violence Archive, a data collection organization, has counted 214 mass shootings in 2022. The organization defines mass shootings as events where four or more people are killed.
Past years’ data can be found at gunviolencearchive.org.
Education Week has counted 27 school shootings this year. There were 34 school shootings in 2021, the largest number ever recorded.
According to CDC data from 2020, guns have become the leading cause of injury-related death for children one and older, surpassing motor vehicles.
In active shooter situations the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends running away immediately. If escape is not possible, hiding is the next best option. If you cannot run or hide, fight as a last resort. | https://www.capjournal.com/news/local-first-responders-train-for-mass-casualty-incidents/article_ce8b38e6-ddd3-11ec-8f49-9b69da14ba3f.html | 2022-05-28T20:13:08Z | https://www.capjournal.com/news/local-first-responders-train-for-mass-casualty-incidents/article_ce8b38e6-ddd3-11ec-8f49-9b69da14ba3f.html | true | 1 |
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Landslides caused by heavy rains killed at least 28 people in the state of Pernambuco in northeast Brazil on Saturday, authorities said. In Alagoas, another state in the region, two people died when they were swept away in river flooding on Friday.
More than 760 people have been forced to leave their homes because of the flooding in Pernambuco, civil defense officials said on Twitter.
The executive secretary of the civil defense agency in Pernambuco, Lt. Col. Leonardo Rodrigues, said in a video posted on Instagram that about 32,000 families live in areas at risk of landslides or flooding in the state.
Schools in the city of Recife have been opened to receive the homeless.
In Alagoas, the state government said 33 municipalities have declared an emergency due to the effects of the heavy rains in the past several days. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Landslides-and-floods-kill-at-least-30-in-17205557.php | 2022-05-28T20:15:11Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Landslides-and-floods-kill-at-least-30-in-17205557.php | false | null |

Social media is currently the number one channel used by marketers to attract new customers and engage with existing audiences. With each app’s unique intended functionality and use, business owners handling their organization’s social media need to understand how engagement differs by platform.
On Pinterest, an image-sharing social media platform with virtual boards and pins, 85% of searches are unbranded — meaning businesses have a wide margin to surprise and delight new customers with unique, relevant content. To improve engagement on Pinterest, invest time in reviewing your analytics, creating Pinterest Idea pins, and analyzing past successes to create great engagement.
On Instagram and TikTok, hashtags have become a driving force of customer discovery and engagement. Instagram allows 30 hashtags, so small businesses have the ability to showcase their versatility through branded hashtags, community hashtags, industry-specific hashtags, and more. TikTok limits captions and included hashtags to 300 characters or less, but offers flexibility in hashtag-driven engagement.
Try to run a branded hashtag challenge with sounds and visual aspects. Make it accessible and open-ended, and encourage participation from anyone who sees it instead of only existing customers.
When it comes to social media, authenticity has never been more important. Gone are the days of creating promotions-only posts for social media and marketing to the masses. Marketing practices today require creating unique, relevant content that speaks to specific problems or offers solutions to a niche audience. These best practices also result in much higher engagement than traditional cookie-cutter techniques.
Drop these outdated marketing tactics now: using customer demographics, relying exclusively on video, and marketing to the masses. Today’s customer seeks entertaining content, personalized service, and convenience — in addition to the desired product or service.
Psychographics (segmenting people based on attitudes or beliefs), as opposed to traditional demographics, can help you create messaging that’s more relatable. Research from the EY Future Consumer Index offers five consumer segments to frame your marketing:
Affordability first consumers: focused on living within their means and budgeting carefully. They’re primarily concerned with product functionality.
Health first consumers: focused on protecting their health, choosing products they trust to be safe, and minimizing risks involved with shopping.
Planet first consumers: this group seeks to minimize its impact on the environment.
Society first consumers: want their purchases to contribute to the greater good, and seek honest, transparent organizations and brands.
Experience first consumers: this group wants to make the most of life and is adventurous in its purchasing behavior.
Consider how your marketing outreach and campaign messaging can better relate to one or more of these psychographic segments — and which segments best align with the product or service you offer.
What does all this mean for your marketing? You have the ability to control how your mass outreach can be refined into more targeted marketing messages that can reach the customers most likely to relate, respond—and purchase.

Shattered comet adds layer of mystery to Monday night’s meteor shower
SANFORD, Fla. - A comet that broke apart 27 years ago is adding some intrigue to what is usually a rather modest meteor shower this year, with potential for a spectacular display of shooting stars Monday night.
Or, astronomers said, it could totally wash out leaving relatively blank skies for eager meteor shower gazers.
The meteor shower is courtesy of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 – also abbreviated SW3. The comet was discovered in 1930 and had since made routine mundane trips around the sun every 5.4 years as a faint comet and the source of the annual but tepid Tau-Herculids meteor shower in late May.
WHO WAS JAMES WEBB? THE NAMESAKE BEHIND THE SPACE TELESCOPE
That is, until 1995 when suddenly the comet became considerably brighter. Astronomers realized the comet had broken apart.
Hubble Images (top): NASA, ESA, H. Weaver (JHU/APL), M. Mutchler and Z. Levay (STScI); Ground-Based Image (bottom): G. Rhemann and M. Jager (NASA / ESA)
Fast-forward to 2022 and astronomers said for the first time, the Earth’s orbit looks like it will interact with some of the comet’s larger leftover debris.
THESE PHOTOS OF THE SUN WILL PUT YOUR 4K TV TO SHAME
"The possible encounter with debris from this comet is different in that most meteor showers are created from very fine grain size particles," Derek Demeter, the director of the Emil Buehler Planetarium at Seminole State College of Florida told FOX Weather. "The debris from this comet is much larger, ranging to the size of small pebble sized dust and ice which can increase the chance of seeing some very bright meteors."

Stud or dud?
But astronomers are still unsure how much of that debris will reach Earth’s atmosphere.
"The particles are very hard to see, and we are not entirely sure how displaced the (cometary) debris is," Demeter said. "It could be clumped together or spread out so much we only encounter a few. If the first case happens, then we have a chance of having a stud instead of a dud."
If we get the "stud" show, it will be fortuitous timing. The peak of the meteor shower will be late Monday night into the pre-dawn Tuesday morning hours. The moon will be new, so sky gazers won’t have to worry about moonlight washing out the sky.
Forecasted cloud cover for midnight CT on May 31 during the Tau-Herculid Meteor Shower.
HOW ASTRONOMERS KNEW EXACTLY WHERE A SMALL ASTEROID WOULD IMPACT EARTH
The best advice is to find a place away from city lights and light pollution, and then just look up.
"The radiant or point where the meteors will be emanating from is located near the constellation Boötes which can be seen in the ENE part of the sky in the early evening, moving to the top of the sky around midnight, and finally moving to the WNW in the early morning," Demeter said.
West Coast could get the best show
Bonus viewing points to those along the West Coast who will be in the perfect location in Earth’s orbit for when and where our planet is expected to encounter the heart of the cometary debris.
URANUS WAS DISCOVERED 241 YEARS AGO. GET TO KNOW THE 7TH PLANET FROM THE SUN
"Astronomers think that the Pacific region of the USA may have the best view because the largest extent of the debris will encounter the Earth at night in that location," Demeter said.
The forecast is favorable for much of the region with crystal clear skies expected across much of California and the Desert Southwest.
Forecasted cloud cover for 10 p.m. PT on May 31 during the Tau-Herculid Meteor Shower. (FOX Weather)
Demeter warns again with this meteor shower relying on a new source of material, astronomers do not have a lot of good information on which to base their predictions.
WHY SPACE TRASH WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM IN LOW-EARTH ORBIT
"Anywhere may get the best view if it happens so if it is clear, go outside and enjoy the sky," he says. "Even if it is a dud, the moon will not be a problem for the night, so this is a great time to observe the sky anyway. Can't lose if you have a nice clear sky."

Man wanted on warrants dies in crash into wall of Dana Drive furniture store
A driver has died after a police pursuit that ended when the man's pickup crashed into the side of a furniture store on Dana Drive on Saturday morning.
Redding police Capt. Ron Icely did not identify the man but said he was wanted on arrest and search warrants stemming from a child sexual abuse case that was investigated earlier in May.
That person was known to have firearms, said Icely, the commander of the Redding Police Department's detective division.
Icely said police officers located the man just after 8 a.m. Saturday as he was driving a 2016 Ford F-150 in the area of Canby Road and Victor Avenue. The man didn't yield for an enforcement stop.
"(The pickup) pulled into the Walmart parking lot, accelerated westbound towards Ashley Furniture and for unknown reasons collided with the east wall of Ashley Furniture," Icely said.
He said no shots were fired by the police.
"The driver was not responsive to commands from officers. The occupant or occupants of the vehicle could not be seen," Icely said.
He said police used non-lethal bean-bag rounds to shoot out the pickup's back window so a drone could get a look inside the truck where air bags deployed. The SWAT team vehicle parked near the pickup as officers had their guns drawn.
"Once we were able to safely make contact with the sole occupant of the vehicle, it was determined that the subject is deceased and that a firearm was located inside the vehicle," Icely said.
He said the cause of death will be determined by the Shasta County Coroner's Office.
"It had to have been a fairly violent collision (into the wall) because of the front-end damage on the vehicle," Icely said.
The captain said investigators "have a lot of work to do" processing the scene and that more details could be released Tuesday.
While police were in the parking lot, an apparent family member tried to drive his pickup to the crime scene and yelled at officers before people restrained him in the Walmart parking lot.

Gary Neville fires shots at BT Sport over handling of Champions League fiasco
THOUSANDS of fans were caught in chaos outside the Stade de France before Liverpool's clash with Real Madrid.
Liverpool fans use speed boat to get to Champions League final
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has torn into BT Sport over their coverage of the Champions League final chaos that saw fans exposed to tear gas outside the Stade de France. Liverpool and Real Madrid supporters were left waiting in limbo as kick-off was delayed by more than half an hour, with a TV panel including Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand forced to stall for time.
UEFA drew criticism from all angles as fans were met with massive queues and little communication outside the stadium in Paris. Fans and pundits fumed at their first kick-off delay message, which appeared to point the finger at supporters who had allegedly turned up late to the match.
Eventually, the match got underway more than half an hour behind schedule, but some were left feeling as though BT Sport had not provided ample coverage of events that some claim were 'unlike any seen before' at a major final.
Journalist Adam Crafton was among them, and he vented on social media: "Surprised BT sport don’t have a team on standby outside of stadium, getting little to no sense of the major story from the broadcaster."
Former Manchester United star Neville pulled no punches in his response, firing blatant shots at the rival broadcasters. "Are you surprised?" he asked. "I’m not.They can’t react or aren’t agile to things like this happening."

Which rock painting kits are best?
Rock painting is an activity enjoyed by children and adults alike. It helps to improve fine motor skills in young children and helps to relieve stress for all ages. While searching for a rock painting kit, you may have some questions. What should a rock painting kit come with? How many rocks will I get? What type of paint will work the best?
There is a lot to consider when looking for a rock painting kit. Kits like the Creative for Kids Hide & Seek Rock Painting Kit help exemplify what a good rock painting kit includes — lots of rocks, paints and accessories to keep the rock painting fun going all day.
What to know before you buy a rock painting kit
Number of kids
It is important to know how many children may be using your rock painting kit. Typically, rock painting sets come with enough supplies for a couple of children.
Most come with one or two paintbrushes. If you have more than two children painting, you might want to use your own set of paint brushes and other additional supplies. If you run out of rocks, these can be purchased separately as well, or you can try to find some in your own backyard.
Age
Because rock painting is done on such a small scale and requires a steady hand, small children may have difficulty getting their desired results. Most rock painting kits are recommended for ages 3 and up, but you ultimately know your child best and what may be too challenging for them.
Additional rocks
If you use up the rocks that came with your kit and still have some leftover paint, many sellers offer packs of rock painting rocks that can be purchased separately, so the fun never has to end.
What to look for in a quality rock painting kit
Paint quality
The best paint to use for rocks — and also the type of paint most kits include — is acrylic paint. It’s cheap, available in many colors and with a thin consistency that makes it easy to paint onto rocks. It is slightly weather-resistant but not waterproof, so rocks painted with acrylic will need some kind of sealer. Other kits include watercolor paints, which are also a good option. Most rock painting kits will detail in their description which type of paint is included.
Accessories
Many rock painting kits include more than just rocks and paint. Accessories like transfer patterns, glitter glue, stickers and googly eyes are also often included. These additional craft supplies allow you to get even more creative with your rock painting creations.
Rocks
On average, about 10 rocks are included in a rock painting kit. Some kits offer rocks that look the same, while others offer them in several sizes. The best rocks to paint on are flat and smooth.
How much you can expect to spend on a rock painting kit
Rock painting kits start at around $10 and can go up to around $20. The price is determined by how many rocks are included and what additional accessories there are. Kits that include stickers, glue and other craft supplies will be closer to the $20 mark.
Rock painting kit FAQ
What can I do with painted rocks?
A: Because painted rocks are so personalized, they make wonderful household decorations that will remind you of the fun you had making them every time you see them. They could be placed in the backyard or garden or even throughout the community for others to see.
How can I get paint off my table or walls?
A: Most paints included in rock painting kits are either watercolor or acrylic. Both can be removed by simply washing with soap and water, though you may need to put in some extra effort for it to be completely removed.

Warnings of critical fire conditions blanketed much of the U.S. Southwest on Saturday as crews in northern New Mexico worked to stop the growth of the nation's largest active wildfire.
The 7-week-old fire, the largest in New Mexico history, has burned 491 square miles (1,272 square kilometers) of forest in rugged terrain east of Santa Fe since being started in April by two planned burns.
Crews were patrolling partially burned areas and clearing and cutting containment lines, including primary ones near the fire as bulldozers scraped backup lines farther away.
The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings of critical fire conditions for parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. Those conditions are combination of strong wind, low relative humidity and dry vegetation.
The return of return of drier and warmer weather with stronger winds posed a threat of increased fire activity over the Memorial Day weekend, prompting officials to urge the public to secure vehicle chains and to be careful with possible fire sources.
”The last thing we need right now is another ignition,” said Jayson Coil, an operations section chief.
Forecasts called for wind gusts up to 50 mph (80 kph), with critical fire conditions continuing into Monday, followed by more favorable weather later in the coming week, said Bruno Rodriguez, the fire management team's meteorologist.
The strong winds could fan flames and cause the fire to jump containment lines and race forward, said John Chest, a fire operations manager.
“Imagine traveling in your car and the fire can outpace you. That’s the kind of extreme fire behavior that we’re talking about,” Chester said.
Nearly 3,000 firefighters and other personnel were assigned to the fire, which was contained around 48% of its perimeter.
Initial estimates say the fire has destroyed at least 330 homes but state officials expect the number of homes and other structures that have burned to rise to more than 1,000 as more assessments are done.

Very good, interesting and well designed lessons. I've got plenty of idea to promoting our national diet of Mongolia. Thank you so much for all those academic researchers and professors.

The course is more about the history of how the OPUS project came together, how "great" it is, how "great" are the danish who will save the world, but it doesn't really give practical concrete information about how to apply health and cooking principles.
The videos are extremely boring: a person talking with almost no visuals and actually without giving any practical information but rather telling the story of how great they are. It's a course painful to watch and it's not worth the time investment.

Para mí, que no soy investigadora, ni médico, este curso explica con demasiado detalle las técnicas utilizadas para llevar a cabo las investigaciones. Lo que me interesa es la nutrición en sí y he echado en falta más explicaciones relativas a nutrientes, más ejemplos de composición de menús, etc. El vídeo que más me ha interesado ha sido el que trata sobre las grasas trans, ese vídeo me ha resultado muy didáctico y esclarecedor. Gracias.

I enjoyed the detailed explanations about what the OPUS project is and how the study was/is being carried out. The lectures were very interesting and it was great to meet so many different people involved in the study. The core principles of the study were inspiring and multidimensional - for example, considering the identity, sustainability, health and taste factors when considering a new approach to a healthy diet is far more holistic and therefore meaningful than a purely nutritional approach. It was a pleasure to learn about the New Nordic Diet and I have absorbed a lot of new information. Thank you!

This course was a great learning experience. I had initially thought it to be something where I could learn the Nordic cuisine. However, this came out to be entirely different and addressed some very basic problem that even our younger generations are facing. Tasting and experimenting with your own native food. Relying less on animal products and more on seasonally grown vegetables and fruits. Understanding the very notion that the choice of what we put on our plate makes all the difference in the world. I think more such courses should be taught in a similar manner.

I want to thank the authors for creating the course. Once again I was convinced that everything that people need, it is near... The main thing is to have a balance, use what nature gives us and love yourself, take care of yourself and others... to live in harmony with the surrounding world. Food is the tip of the iceberg, WE are what we eat...

Very interesting course, which leads to the reflection that we need to change our eating habits, and it is possible.

Buying Guide For The Best Delta-8 Gummies For Stress & Anxiety
It would help if you considered certain factors while purchasing delta-8 gummies. Especially if you are a novice, buying any random product is not wise. If you proceed in this manner, you will increase your chances of making a decision that you will regret in the future.
We have listed the vital buying points in detail to keep you safe from this trouble. You must read them carefully before making any final decision.
- Quality Of Hemp-Derived Products
Considering the quality of hemp is essential when searching for the best delta-8 gummies. Hemp is the crucial ingredient of delta-8 gummies.
Hemp plants are a special kind of plant that belongs to the family Cannabaceae; people used to cultivate its fiber. It contains THC, which is known to produce psychoactive effects in humans. The cultivated cannabis plant contains small amounts of THC, resulting in a lower concentration in hemp.
Hemp is rich in cannabidiol, which possibly causes the psychoactive effects of THC. It is grown specifically for industrial and medicinal use.
Moreover, it has the prospects to be a long-term and beneficial crop for farmers because of its numerous structural, medical, and dietary advantages. The hemp grown naturally on the farms is beneficial for health. Hence, many people prefer purchasing from brands using organic hemp.
- Natural Ingredients
Before buying the best delta-8 gummies, one must look deeply into their composition. Many products may contain food additives, synthetic flavors, and artificial colors. While some flavors and colorings will not affect the potency of the gummies, most people want all organic ones. Avoid purchasing those with preservatives and fillers as they are not suitable for long-term use and can harm your health.
Consider such products that contain natural and high-quality ingredients. To avoid a bad experience, one should demand a list of ingredients used in manufacturing a product.
It ensures that you are not using something illegal and harmful. The best brands offer comprehensive information on their websites regarding the products’ structures and the components that go into them. Besides, it guarantees that the delta-8 gummies you use are of high quality and have comprehensive health benefits.
- Extraction Method
We cannot overlook the extraction method while determining the quality of delta-8 gummies. Since methods of extracting ingredients required for manufacturing play a crucial role in the composition.
During extraction, there is a high chance of having some remains of chemicals that may alter the purity of the oil.
It is preferred to use the CO2 method as CO2 captures the desired cannabinoids from raw hemp directly and safely. Plus, it does not leave behind any residue of trace amounts, altering the composition.
- Potency
Note that brands offer various potency levels to cater to their customers. Some people require high-potency delta-8 gummies to achieve their results, whereas some may get them at low delta-8 levels. Therefore, it is crucial to look into this and know your tolerance level before purchasing delta-8 gummies.
- Intended Use
Keep in mind your reason for buying these delta-8 gummies. Consume only the right amount as overconsumption of these may result in some adverse effects, most commonly elevated anxiety levels.
Do not take delta-8 gummies more than two times daily as they contain psychoactive constituents. Do not exceed more than 40mg of gummies a day. If you are a beginner, opt for taking 2.5 mg of CBD and gradually increase it as you get used to its effects.
- Brand Reputation
Popular brands provide complete details of their products, including their manufacturing, testing, etc. It helps them gain customers’ trust as people know the product’s composition and description.
Further, a good brand helps the customers instill this belief that they are getting a high-quality product. Moreover, they do not use any such chemicals that may cause harm to the body.
- Third-Party Lab Testing
Delta-8 gummies are passed through third-party testing to ensure they are free from harmful chemicals. The companies have these reports and provide them to the customers to make them happy and satisfied.
Plus, reliable brands provide a third-party testing report to build more trust, making them more reliable. But when a brand does not contain such reports, it is better not to buy anything from them. They have failed to provide insurance of their products’ quality and purity.
- Customer Reviews
Checking customer reviews is the quickest and easiest way to determine whether a product is good and helpful before making a purchase. So, it would help if you look for customer reviews, which will help you know about the pros and cons of the product.
Some people may be allergic to the components included in delta-8 gummies. Thus, before purchasing these gummies, conduct thorough research. Take note and learn from the experience of previous users.
- Price
Price is another crucial buying point to consider, and you should check that the company selling offers the exact pricing as the competent ones. If a company provides a much lower price than those sold with high sales, it is more likely to be a fake product. Such cheap quality products are not authentic and may put your health at a greater risk.
Moreover, check if the brand has discounts, subscription offers, and free shipping. You can probably save more for bulk orders.
FAQs: Gluten Free Delta 8 Gummies To Buy Online
Q1. What is delta-8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is a compound containing psychoactive properties. The Cannabis sativa plant contains derivatives of delta-8 THC.
Further, hemp plants produce delta-8 THC naturally, though the plant does not include its significant amounts. So, they manufacture hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) in concentrated amounts. Delta-8 is known best for its healing and soothing properties. It is a psychoactive cannabinoid used to help with some physical and mental issues. People prefer it since it has fewer adverse effects than delta-9 THC. Unlike delta-9 and marijuana, it does not cause anxiety or paranoia.
Q2. How many gummies should I take?
Intake of delta-8 gummies varies depending on a person’s age, height, weight, medical history, and other factors. Its effects may differ for each individual based on metabolism, body reactions, etc. Further, it is more likely to impact beginners than those who have already tried delta-8.
Do a test before taking a full gummy by trying a low dose initially and gradually increasing it to determine the effect of the cannabinoid. Also, waiting for a few hours to see the results is better, as edibles take more time to show their impact. Research suggests that it should not take more than thirty to forty-five minutes for you to start feeling the effects of the gummies.

Two Canberra first home buyers fear they are priced out of the property market after the developer of their off-the-plan townhouse moved to cancel their sales contract.
Sister and brother Parese and Anthony Koutsoukos say they received notice from the developer, Canberra Future Property Pty Ltd, to cancel the contract for an off-the-plan townhouse in Moncrieff - more than two years after they signed it.

"If they knew that this was even possible ... they should have let us know a very long time ago. It could have helped us because prices now, they've [almost] doubled, which is unfortunate for us because now we're left out [of the market]," Ms Koutsoukos said.
It comes after the ACT last December passed an amendment bill to protect off-the-plan buyers from illegitimate contract cancellations. Developers must now seek a buyer's written consent or a Supreme Court order to exit a sale.
The Koutsoukos siblings signed the contract for their $560,000 townhouse in March 2020.
In the two years since, Canberra dwelling prices - which combines both houses and units - have risen 36.3 per cent, CoreLogic data showed.
"It's really disappointing ... and it makes me really angry to know that we tried so hard at a young age to get our foot in the door and just set us up for our future," Ms Koutsoukos said.
"It's really just set us back, instead of putting us in front."
The block on Bon Scott Crescent where their townhouse and 34 others should be standing is currently empty and overgrown, with no sign of active building works.
Speaking to The Canberra Times, Shawn Li, director of Canberra Future Property, confirmed the company planned to send rescission letters to all buyers in the coming weeks.
He said the project was no longer viable and pointed to a number of reasons why, chiefly that the contracted builder had walked away.
Mr Li said the builder abandoned the project after failing to secure insurances. Finance for the project had subsequently been withdrawn, he said.
The builder, SGB Property Developments, did not respond to questions from The Canberra Times.
Mr Li said he felt "very bad" about what the buyers were going through, but said the project had lost more than $2 million to date.
"But right now, you know, we suffered a lot of loss for the project ... the building cost is extremely high right at this stage and so the project is not viable anymore," he said.
Mr Li confirmed the company would apply to the Supreme Court to cancel contracts if buyers did not agree to the rescission letters and would then consider selling the Moncrieff site to a local developer.
Adero Law associate Andrew Chakrabarty is representing the Koutsoukos siblings and said he believed the developer's letter did not provide adequate reasoning to cancel the contract. He is requesting more evidence to justify it.

If the developer sought Supreme Court action, Mr Chakrabarty believed it would be the first attempt under new legislation introduced late last year.
In December the ACT government passed an amendment bill that requires developers to seek a buyer's consent to cancel an off-the-plan property contract under a "sunset" or "development delay" clause.
A sunset clause allows buyers or sellers to exit a sales contract if certain requirements, such as development completion, are not met by a specified date.
A developer wanting to rescind a contract must provide 28 days' written notice to the buyer, setting out the reasoning behind the proposed rescission under the clause.

If the buyer does not agree to exit the sale, the developer may seek an ACT Supreme Court order to have the contract cancelled. There is no specific timeframe in which the developer must apply to the court.
Mr Chakrabarty said the firm was also looking to find out whether the properties "are being primed for any future sale".
"We are worried that these properties will be back on the market at a much higher price, which is completely unjust and not equitable to our current purchasers," he said.

The East Stroudsburg University women’s lacrosse team entered 2022 needing to replace just two starters from the previous year’s team, a squad that had reached the NCAA Division II semifinals.
But those two starters were both All-Americans in the program’s all-time points leader (Hana Cicerelle) and all-time saves leader Tatyana Petteway. Then from fall 2021 through the spring 2022 season, the Warriors saw six players go down with season-ending injuries.
All that is to say, ESU head coach Xeni Barakos-Yoder, a Cocalico alum, had her hands full.
“We stuck to the next-man-up mentality all season long,” Barakos-Yoder said.
Among them were Cocalico alum Jameson Kernaghan and Lampeter-Strasburg alum McKenna Conklin.
“I had been fighting to have Jameson on the defensive end for a long time,” Barakos-Yoder said. “She’s a straight up one of the best defenders we have down there. Then we had midfielder Olivia Wenrich, who’s from Governor Mifflin, go down with an injury. …McKenna ended up picking up a lot of midfield reps.”
ESU went on to win the PSAC championship and top Queens in overtime in the NCAA D-II semifinals.
“That would be one of the top memories I’ll never forget,” Barakos-Yoder said. “It showed just how resilient they were.”
The OT semis win featured a combined four ground balls and three caused turnovers from Kernaghan and Conklin, who also logged an assist.
“They were a little beat up towards the end, too,” Barakos-Yoder said. “McKenna was in a boot when we weren’t playing, then took it off to play the day of the game. She didn’t practice the day before the national championship.”
ESU fell to Indianapolis 11-9 in the national title game last Sunday in what was the program’s first appearance in the NCAA final.
It was still a history-making year for ESU and Barakos-Yoder, who continues to build on her already impressive portfolio in what was her seventh year on the sidelines at her alma mater. She did so this season while also being a mother to her son, Leo.
“I think that it’s helped in my own personal reset,” Barakos-Yoder said of juggling coaching and parenting. “When I get home and that small face is smiling at you, you can’t be mad about something that happened in practice…it’s important to me to be a coach and be a mom. I really strive to be good at both.”

ROCKFORD (WREX) — The holiday weekend kicks off with picture perfect seasonable weather. Conditions get warmer and warmer each day into the next week.
Getting Warmer:
After seeing a rather soggy week it was amazing to see the sun and have temperatures close to average. Temperatures across the area right now are in the low to mid 70's with mostly sunny skies.
There are a few fair-weather clouds with some isolated showers making their way into Jo Davies and Stephenson County so keep an eye to the sky and adjust your afternoon and evening plans accordingly.
Clouds stick around into this evening with a few possible showers and isolated rumble of thunder. Another comfortable evening is on store with temperatures sticking in the low 60's.
The sun returns for Sunday as does the humidity. Temperatures rise into the mid to upper 80's for the day with dew points (what makes it feel sticky) in the lower 60's. What keeps us cooler is a southerly breeze that could be gusty at times. Overnight temperatures stay in the upper 60's with partly cloudy skies.
We see warmer conditions and sunny skies continue into the work week; we could see temperatures reach 90 degrees by Tuesday! Make sure to stay hydrated and use the sunscreen if you plan on spending time outside.
Memorial Day:
By Memorial Day, temperatures flirt with the low 90's for the day. Humid conditions stick around so make sure to take it easy if you are outside and drink plenty of water! Temperatures drop overnight to a balmy low 70's.
Tuesday features another warm and sunny day; high temperatures could reach 90 degrees again. A cold front lingers to our west and doesn't arrive until Tuesday afternoon to evening hours. Showers and storms are a possibility as this cold front passes.
Looking Ahead:
Showers could linger into the morning hours of Wednesday as another round of heavier rain sets up. Temperatures return to the low to mid 70's for Wednesday and into Thursday as well.
Thursday remains cooler in the 70's with partly cloudy skies. The sun returns for the end of the week and temperatures remain seasonable in the 70's | https://www.wrex.com/news/top-stories/sunshine-and-warm-temperatures-return-for-the-holiday-weekend/article_a7eb1df0-deb9-11ec-9ec4-1fe52314904b.html | 2022-05-28T21:03:22Z | https://www.wrex.com/news/top-stories/sunshine-and-warm-temperatures-return-for-the-holiday-weekend/article_a7eb1df0-deb9-11ec-9ec4-1fe52314904b.html | true | 1 |
Anonymous Donor Steps Forward to Ensure Uvalde Families Won't 'Have to Worry About a Single Cost'
An anonymous donor will cover the cost of the funerals of the children and teachers killed Tuesday in the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
“We appreciate that anonymous donor for his generosity,” Abbott said Friday, according to CBS News. “And we will ensure that those resources get into the right hands.”
Abbott said the donor put up $175,000 to cover the funeral expenses.
“No family who is suffering from incalculable heartbreak at this time will have to worry about a single cost with regard to anything concerning this travesty,” he said.
Abbott also said mental health and counseling services will be available to those impacted by the shooting.
Compounding the grief of victims’ families was the emerging belief that the law enforcement response to the shooting was not managed properly.
“It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that it just took too long to get in there and, you know, had they gotten there sooner, and someone would have taken immediate action, we might have more of those children here today,” parent Alfred Garza said, according to CNN.
Garza’s daughter Amerie Jo was killed in the attack.

“We were asking and begging [authorities] to do something,” parent Jennifer Gaitan said. “I feel like they were not concerned about the real trauma that was happening inside.”
According to NBC News, the federal agents who went into the school to kill gunman Salvador Ramos were told not to enter the building.
The report, which NBC attributed to “two senior federal law enforcement officials,” said that the squad made up of the Customs and Border Protection tactical unit and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations went in without orders after a 30-minute wait.
Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Friday that Peter Arredondo, chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, had stopped officers from entering.
“From the benefit of hindsight where I’m sitting now, of course, it was not the right decision. It was a wrong decision. Period. There was no excuse for that,” McCraw said.
“There were plenty of officers to do what needed to be done, with one exception, is that the incident commander inside believed he needed more equipment and more officers to do a tactical breach at that time.”
McCraw said children in the building were calling 911 during the attack.
According to CNN, the federal agents stormed a classroom where Ramos was hiding at about 12:50 p.m., over an hour after Ramos had entered the school. One agent held a shield and two others fired at Ramos.
CNN reported that Ramos waited in a closet for the agents to enter the room, then opened the door and began to fire until he was killed.

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i has appealed for a peaceful campaign period as the country gears for the August 9th General Elections.
While addressing the Seventh Day Adventist faithful of Kenyerere SDA, Kisii County, he called upon the clergy to pray for the country.
He cautioned some politicians not to use impending elections as an excuse of dividing Kenyans along ethnic lines.
Matiang’i asked the electorates and politicians to embrace peace and unity especially in this period when the country makes a major decision on its leadership.
Similar sentiments were projected from the president during the national prayer breakfast where he called upon all leaders to embrace unity during campaigns and peaceful transition of power after the elections.
He further urged residents to foster peace during the campaigns and after and asked those seeking leadership to leave the country more united than before.
During the campaigns, the Cs had confirmed that there were measures put in place to curb insecurity and maintain order.
Matiangi also assured citizens that the government is committed to deliver credit and fair election. | https://www.kbc.co.ke/cs-matiangi-appeals-for-peace-during-campaign-period/ | 2022-05-28T21:06:58Z | https://www.kbc.co.ke/cs-matiangi-appeals-for-peace-during-campaign-period/ | true | 1 |
Azimio La Umoja presidential running mate Martha Karua concluded her two-day campaign tour of Nakuru County with a pledge of all-out war on graft, revamped economy and justice for all.
Ms Karua reiterated the Raila Odinga-led Azimio La Umoja coalition’s commitment to augment the country’s industrial sector in order to promote local manufacturing whilst creating employment for jobless Kenyans.

Ready to defend our territories: Nepal PM Sher Bahadur Deuba
- India and Nepal are currently repairing ties that were hit by several controversies during the term of former Nepalese prime minister KP Sharma Oli, who was removed from his post in a vote of no confidence last year.
Nepal Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Saturday said their government was ready to defend the country’s territories but stressed that border disputes should be resolved through dialogues.
India and Nepal are currently repairing ties that were hit by several controversies during the term of former Nepalese prime minister KP Sharma Oli, who was removed from his post in a vote of no confidence last year. Oli’s government published a new political map of Nepal in 2020 that included the Indian territories of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani, triggering a row. India has maintained that the areas are a part of Uttarakhand’s Pithoragarh district.
“Nepal government is ready to defend its territories. The areas of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani are Nepal’s and the government has a firm understanding of it. The issue of border is sensitive and we understand that this can be resolved through dialogues and talks through diplomatic channels,” news agency ANI quoted Deuba as saying, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the neighbouring country.
Deuba said the Nepal government has prioritised national interest while also working for the mutual benefits of its neighbours. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ready-to-defend-our-territories-nepal-pm-sher-bahadur-deuba-101653767151640.html | 2022-05-28T21:08:38Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ready-to-defend-our-territories-nepal-pm-sher-bahadur-deuba-101653767151640.html | true | 2 |

Which green duvet covers are best?
Green is a fantastic color for bedding because it can act as a neutral if you select the right shade, and it complements most spaces, especially bedrooms where color layering thrives amongst throws, blankets and pillows. Going with the best green duvet cover instead of a new comforter is an excellent choice, because they are famously more affordable, as well as easier to maintain and store. A top pick is the Supima Green Duvet Cover by Charter Club Damask in winter pine.
What to know before you buy a green duvet cover
Duvet cover purpose
Duvet covers are beneficial if you enjoy mixing up your decor regularly but cannot justify the price of new bedding or do not want to store your old comforter to make room for a new one. They are also far easier to maintain, as you can toss them in the washing machine when they get dirty.
Duvet cover vs. duvet
A duvet cover will reduce to the size of two blankets sewn together, and it is built to encase a duvet or comforter in the same way that a pillowcase covers a pillow. Like a comforter, a duvet is often filled with synthetic, down, feather or wool insulation. You can also place your comforter inside of a duvet cover if you do not wish to buy a duvet.
Duvet filling
The best duvet will enhance the benefits of your quality green duvet cover. Duvets can be filled with synthetic or natural filling. However, if you want your bedding to be breathable, durable and moisture-wicking, you should go with one that boasts natural filler such as down, feathers or wool.
What to look for in a quality green duvet cover
Natural fabrics
Synthetic blends tend to be very soft and cozy. However, they tend to pill quickly and trap heat. In comparison, 100% natural fabrics tend to do the opposite. While you might spend a little more upfront for a 100% natural fabric, you will save in the long run because natural fabrics are far more apt to last years (and years) longer than synthetics.
Therefore, if you want the best green duvet cover, look out for 100% linen, 100% bamboo or 100% long-staple cottons such as Supima cotton or Egyptian cotton. These fabrics are breathable, moisture-wicking, cooling in the summer, warm in the winter and can last decades if cared for properly.
Ties and closures
Your green duvet cover will need to enlist a method to secure your duvet or comforter inside of it, as you will not want your bedding to bunch up. Therefore, the best green duvet cover will secure your duvet or comforter with ties at each interior corner and a zip or button closure at the bottom.
Machine-washable
While you will encounter hand wash or dry clean only duvet covers, it is possible to find one that is premium quality and machine washable. For many, the most attractive feature of a green duvet cover is that it is low-maintenance. Thus, it is best not to get sidetracked by one that won’t serve its ultimate purpose for you.
How much you can expect to spend on a green duvet cover
If you select an affordable synthetic fabric, you can expect to spend between $50-$100. Whereas, if you go with premium fabrics, you can expect to pay between $100-$300.
Green duvet cover FAQ
What should be included with your green duvet cover?
A. At a minimum, your duvet cover should include two matching pillow shams.
What is the best shade of green for my duvet cover?
A. The most commonly used green bedding shades are sage, emerald and olive greens. Lighter shades, such as sage, can help to make your room look bigger. Emeralds add a sense of regality, and darker shades of green capture the calming essence of nature.

On Sunday, May 15, HEARTS PW hosted their annual PortFest at the track at Paul D. Schreiber High School. After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the community event came back as strong as ever.

With production now underway on the Disney+ series Ahsoka, it was only a matter of time before audiences got their first look at the brand new Star Wars show. At the Mando+ panel at Star Wars Celebration, executive producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, along with series star Rosario Dawson and Chopper, the beloved droid from teh animated Rebels series, were on hand to present an exclusive first look at the series, shared only with Celebration attendees.
As production has only just begun, the snippet wasn't long, but revealed footage of Dawson as Ahsoka Tano from behind, both in temples and unidentified landscapes, as well as on the Ghost, the ship many Star Wars fans have come to know and love from Rebels. Shots of an HK-47 droid were also seen, and in perhaps the most exciting bit of news, fans were treated to a shot of Hera Syndulla, the captain of the Ghost, from behind, who was last seen at the end of Rebels and has long been a fan-favorite character. The footage ended with Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) looking fondly at a live-action version of the mural she painted in Rebels, staring fondly at the painted Ghost crew, including Ezra Bridger, whose disappearance was a focal point of Rebels, and seems to be the focal point of Ahsoka as well.
While Bordizzo's casting as Sabine was announced a while back, fans will be ecstatic to see the return of Hera Syndulla, and the possibility of seeing other, much-beloved Rebels characters as well. While the plot of Ahsoka is still being held tightly under wraps, this first looks points the series in an exciting direction sure to give fans the ride of a lifetime.
Ahsoka Tano first appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as the teenage apprentice of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Their friendship was developed over the course of the show's seven seasons, and will now make the move to live action as well. Hayden Christensen, who most recently reprised his role as Anakin Skywalker in Obi-Wan Kenobi, is set to appear as the Skyguy to Dawson's Snips in the series.
In addition to Dawson and Christensen, Bordizzo stars as Sabine Wren, a young Mandalorian artist and rebel that Ahsoka first encountered during the events of Star Wars: Rebels. At the end of the series, the two of them were leaving Lothal behind to go in search of their friend Ezra, who had disappeared into parts unknown with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Also included in the cast are Ivanna Sakhno and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in thus-far undisclosed roles, as well as Ray Stevenson, who previously appeared in both The Clone Wars and Rebels as Mandalorian warrior Gar Saxon. It's not expected, however, that he will be bringing his animated counterpart to live action. Instead his role is being described as a "villainous admiral."
Ahsoka will hit Disney+ sometime in 2023. | https://collider.com/ahsoka-series-footage-rosario-dawson-star-wars-celebration/ | 2022-05-28T21:29:05Z | https://collider.com/ahsoka-series-footage-rosario-dawson-star-wars-celebration/ | true | 1 |
Police deployed tear gas on supporters waiting in long lines to get into the Stade de France and security struggled with fans desperate to see the Champions League final that was delayed by 37 minutes this morning (NZT).
Angry Liverpool fans held in the lines were seen hanging onto railings and heard shouting: "Let us in. We've got tickets."There were many instances of fans breaking through security and attempting to get into the stadium.
The Associated Press saw two fans — one was wearing Liverpool attire — wrestled to the ground by stewards and bundled out of the gates.
Three more fans were seen evading stewards and sprinting through the concourse and into the bottom level of the stadium.

Advertise with NZME.Others climbed the fences instead.Supporter Colm Lacey saw "children crying, people trapped" outside the entrances.
"People started jumping the queue, then they ripped the gate open and then there was a push," Lacey said.
Police officers with batons and riot shields ran from gate to gate to prevent pockets of fans forcing their way into the stadium without showing tickets. One policeman collapsed to the ground and had to be helped by other officers. Officers used tear gas on Liverpool fans on repeated occasions.
One Liverpool fan kissed his ticket and looked to the sky after finally getting through security.The scenes were reminiscent of the chaos outside Wembley Stadium before the European Championship final last year between England and Italy.
There were long lines of Liverpool fans still outside the stadium when there was 40 minutes to kickoff.
Then, about 15 minutes before the scheduled kickoff of 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), an announcement was made that there would be a delay, blaming the late arrival of fans to the stadium. It was greeted by jeers inside the stadium, given those fans had already endured long queues.The game eventually started at 9.37 p.m. local time. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/police-deploy-tear-gas-on-football-fans-at-champions-league-final/HIVPW6VTBHUMXUOE4UFSHEONAE/ | 2022-05-28T21:29:28Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/police-deploy-tear-gas-on-football-fans-at-champions-league-final/HIVPW6VTBHUMXUOE4UFSHEONAE/ | false | 9 |

Britain's Got Talent present Ant McPartlin has been open about his health struggles over the years - find out about his chronic knee pain, rehab, painkiller addiction and ADHD diaganosis
As one-half of TV's best-loved presenting duos, Ant Mcpartlin has barely been off our screens over the years alongside best friend Declan Donnelly.
READ: Real reason Ant McPartlin moved away from best friend Declan Donnelly
The only notable time the 46-year-old Britain's Got Talent star took a break was in 2018, after a high-profile drink driving accident forced him to take time away from his career to enter rehab for his addictions.
WATCH: Ant and Dec have fans in stitches with 'crying' video
At the time, Ant said: "My recovery is going very well and for that to continue, having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off."

As well as his 2018 break, the star has battled other health woes over his long and impressive career.
Chronic knee pain
Ant Mcpartline wore a knee brace post-surgery
Ant injured his right knee in 2014 on Saturday Night Takeaway on Tour while doing a Riverdance routine, which left him in agony.

He said at the time: "I'd played football and golf and the knee had started creaking, but the dance did the damage. The meniscus had torn. I had to go in for a routine operation.
Ant's knee began hurting during golf
"I came out and was still in pain days, weeks and months after. They injected steroids but nothing helped it. That was the start of the prescribed painkillers."
Multiple knee surgeries
The presenter underwent surgery in 2015 to fix the issue with his knee, which worsened the injury, resulting in a hairline fracture.
The fracture turned into a two cm hole in the bone, which meant he was in constant pain while his leg was in a brace.
READ: Ant McPartlin praises doctor who helped him battle painkiller addiction
He said: "We looked at scans and the docs said, 'You're a 41-year-old man but it looks like the knee of a 60-year-old.'
In 2017, Ant had a second surgery to fix his knee, telling The Sun: "It's a very painful operation. They physically break your bone. They’ve broken the tibia and moved it across to realign my leg to stop the pressure."
Ant's knee has given him trouble over the years
Painkiller addiction
Ant shared that he battled with a two-year addiction to painkillers following his knee operation in 2015.
It was for his addiction to the pills, along with alcohol dependency, that the presenter entered rehab after his 2018 car crash. The star said he was hooked on OxyContin and tramadol following his operations.

To this day Ant is unable to take prescription medication due to his addiction, but he has new ways to manage the pain.
Dec always supports Ant through his struggles
"I even do yoga now, I’ve got my own yoga mat now. I eat well. I've lost a stone. I can now do non-weight bearing stuff with my legs, like Pilates, weights, lots of yoga, bike and stretching."
SEE: Ant McPartlin's engagement ring for Anne-Marie cost 6x average salary
"I'm off everything now. Just your basic paracetamol and coping with the pain. I'm still in pain but managing it a lot better," he told the paper.
Ant McPartlin's ADHD diagnosis
At the age of 43, Ant was diagnosed with ADHD. He found out he had the condition while undergoing tests in rehab.
Chatting to The Sun about his ADHD diagnosis, he said: "I was so thoroughly examined and diagnosed, I found stuff out about me I hadn’t addressed for years."

The star continued: "There are a lot of links to alcohol dependency, which I studied a lot when I was away."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Mac Horvath hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the eighth inning and Danny Serretti followed with a two-run double to spark No. 8 seed North Carolina to a 7-2 victory over No. 4 seed Notre Dame in the semifinal round of the ACC Tournament on Saturday.
North Carolina (37-19) advances to play the winner of the second semifinal — either No. 11 seed Pittsburgh or No. 12 seed North Carolina State — in Sunday's championship game.

But Horvath singled through the right side of the infield to score Madej and Danny Serretti added two insurance runs with a double.
Castagnozzi delivered a two-run single in the ninth to cap the scoring.
North Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on Colby Wilkerson's RBI ground out.
The Fighting Irish (35-14) took a 2-1 lead on solo home runs by No. 9 hitter Jack Brannigan in the third and Carter Putz in the fifth.
Shawn Rapp (4-0) retired all five batters he faced in relief to get the win for the Tar Heels. D Palermo a hit and a walk, striking out three in the final two innings for his fifth save.
Tyrell (5-1), didn't retire a batter and took the loss for Notre Dame. He allowed a hit and a walk and was charged with three unearned runs.

Ames holds early Senior PGA lead with Langer, Weir chasing
JOHN FINERAN
Associated Press
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Canada’s Stephen Ames maintained the early lead in the 82nd Senior PGA Championship’s third round, shooting 2-under 34 on the front nine of the par-71 Jack Nicklaus-designed course. He’s at 10 under, one stroke ahead of Germany’s Bernhard Langer and fellow Canadian Mike Weir. After Friday’s round played in rain, cold and windy conditions, Saturday’s weather — sun and southerly winds with temperatures near 70 — was producing low scores at Harbor Shores. Of the 72 golfers who made the cut at 3-over 145, 39 were shooting sub-par rounds. | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/05/28/ames-holds-early-senior-pga-lead-with-langer-weir-chasing/ | 2022-05-28T21:40:53Z | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/05/28/ames-holds-early-senior-pga-lead-with-langer-weir-chasing/ | true | null |

Camilla Thurlow has announced she's welcomed her second child, a daughter, with husband Jamie Jewitt.
The Love Island stars both took to Instagram on Saturday to share the exciting news, revealing they've named their baby girl Nora Belle Jewitt.
The couple shared a heartwarming video featuring images of their new addition, who was born ahead of her June due date, and is a younger sister to their older daughter Nell, 19 months.
Congratulations! Camilla Thurlow has announced she's welcomed her second child, a daughter, with husband Jamie Jewitt

Camilla met husband Jamie on Love Island in 2017 and the pair went on to marry in a romantic ceremony last year.
The duo announced they were expecting their second child together in December and revealed their joyous news on Instagram writing: 'We had an early gift this year and we couldn’t be more grateful… 3 soon to be 4, June 2022,' followed by a slew of festive emojis.

Camilla was then filmed writing their names in gold pen on four separate gingerbread men, accompanied by their year of birth.
As the montage progressed, the couple, who tied the knot in September, hung the gold-hooked creations on their gorgeous Christmas tree, with the tot even getting a helping hand from her doting parents.
Their unborn child was marked with a question mark, followed by 'June 2022.'

Canadian men busted with nearly 150 pounds of cocaine in semi-truck, authorities say
GILA BEND, Ariz. (Arizona’s Family/Gray News) - Two Canadian men are in jail after a traffic stop led to a massive drug bust in Arizona last week.
On May 18, an Arizona Department of Public Safety sergeant reported he pulled over a semi-truck driven by Albi Naska, 36, with Victor Nikitin, 36, as a passenger on Interstate 8 just west of Gila Bend.
Arizona’s Family reports the sergeant noticed suspicious behavior from the men and had his K-9 sniff the trailer.
The K-9 picked up a positive alert, and the sergeant said he then searched the truck’s closet and sleep area. There, he found over 50 packages of cocaine, weighing a little more than 144 pounds.
According to authorities, Naska and Nikitin face several felony charges, including transportation, possession and sale of drugs. They were arrested and booked into the Maricopa County Jail.

Updated May 28, 2022 at 3:15 PM ET
EASTERN UKRAINE — As soon as the battered bus groaned to a halt outside the military hospital in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, its doors opened and wounded Ukrainian soldiers began slowly hobbling off.
These were the walking wounded — more than 40 of them in all — with bloodied bandages and exhausted faces. Nurses rushed out with wheelchairs. One soldier struggling to walk limped over to a tree and threw up.
This was a rare first-hand view into the daily toll of the fierce fighting now raging in eastern Ukraine as Russia pushes its offensive here. And while many Ukrainians are still basking in the successful defense of Kyiv, the battle in the Donbas is a punishing grind that poses different challenges.
Here in the vast rolling farmland of the east, Russia's superior firepower gives its military a distinct edge, and its forces are inching forward day by day.
This week, Russian troops appeared to seize control of much of the town of Lyman, which lies at a strategic transport point. This comes as Russia pushes to encircle the nearby city of Severodonetsk — the last major Ukrainian outpost in the Luhansk region.
A senior American defense official says Russia has made "incremental gains," although its forces are facing "not insignificant" losses.
Ukraine, too, is taking a lot of casualties, which was clear during a recent visit by NPR to a military hospital near the front. Doctors and nurses moved quickly through dark hallways. Wounded soldiers, many of them asleep, filled beds in crowded rooms.
The facility is a primary treatment center for soldiers wounded on the northern Donbas front. NPR agreed not to disclose its location because Russia has bombed hospitals already in the war.
"We operate on around 100 patients a day here," said a senior surgeon, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Three quarters of those are soldiers, the rest are civilians."
The surgeon's graying hair was trimmed short. He had bags under his eyes. After finishing a cigarette, he would quickly light another.
He has enough staff, he said, but the pace of work is grueling.
"That's why I look tired," he said. "We've been at war for three months, but I'm ready to be tired for as long as necessary in order for us to win."
Ukrainian soldiers say they don't have the right weapons
The Donbas is an agricultural and industrial region. Sprawling fields of yellow flowers and green sprouts stretch across the landscape. Giant slag heaps from coal mines dot the horizon.
This area has been at war since Russian-backed separatists declared breakaway republics in 2014. But the fight took on new urgency since Russia's full-scale invasion in late February, and Moscow's military is slowly gaining ground here.
The further east one drives toward the front lines, the fewer civilians there are in villages and towns. Most shops are closed. Traffic on the roads becomes almost exclusively Ukrainian military.
On a recent drive to the town of Bakhmut, around 30 tanks and armored personnel carriers could be seen — all moving toward the front. Damaged military vehicles loaded onto heavy trucks were heading in the opposite direction.
The geography of the Donbas makes this an artillery war, and Ukrainian soldiers say right now they are badly outgunned.
"As of today, Moscow has way more heavy weapons, including artillery and ammunition, and they're using it," said Sergej Shakun, a territorial defense leader in the Luhansk region. "We need more heavy weapons of our own."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pleading for more heavy weapons for months. The U.S. and European countries have sent some but the amounts so far have been limited.
The Biden administration, for example, has provided Ukraine with around 100 howitzers, which have a greater range than Ukraine's own artillery.
Shakun said the American guns are helping, but he said they need more of them.
"The Russians are hunting those down," he said. "As soon as the howitzers fire, they have to relocate so they don't get hit themselves. As of today, five of the howitzers have already been damaged."
Ukraine's military is facing other issues as well.
On a recent morning in Bakhmut, a group of young soldiers expressed deep frustration with the military. They agreed to speak on condition of anonymity in order to speak candidly about the war effort.
They said they had only two weeks of training before being sent to Donbas to fight. Their weapons are outdated, they said, including some that date back to World War II.
At the front, they are under constant Russian bombardment.
"They hit us with cluster bombs, then Grad rockets and then artillery again and again," one of the soldiers said. "They give us a cigarette break for a minute, and then it starts all over again."
Some of them said that in several days spent at the front, they didn't shoot their guns once. All they did was get shelled. What good is a rifle against long-range artillery, they ask.
"We didn't even understand where the Russians were shooting from. It was just raining down from above," one said. "It's not a war for infantry."
They say they want to fight, but only if they have good equipment and artillery and better battlefield tactics.
Residents in some areas are living under constant bombardment
Many civilians fled the Donbas after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February. For those who stayed, life is hard — just how hard depends on how close they are to the front lines.
In villages and towns outside of Russian artillery range, there's still water and power, although gasoline is difficult to come by. At gas stations that still have fuel, the wait in line can last hours.
In places like Severodonestk, meanwhile, residents live under constant bombardment.
"It's basically been flattened," said one woman who only gave her first name, Olga.
She said she hid in the basement of her apartment building with fellow residents for weeks before she got pneumonia and had to move to the city's hospital.
After a month there, she was evacuated this week to Kramatorsk, a city 40 miles to the west but still within range of Russian forces.
She doesn't know whether she'll go back to Severodonetsk if the Russians capture the city and ultimately annex the territory.
"When you're sitting in the basement and hearing explosions, you think to yourself, 'let anybody come here, just let there be peace,' " she said. "We don't care who we live under. Just let it be peaceful."
Sitting in the back of a Red Cross ambulance in Kramatorsk as she waited to be evacuated further west, she teared up thinking about the home and city she'd fled.
"Every street had roses and chestnut trees," she said with a sigh. "Roses and chestnut trees."

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police in Omaha have arrested a 20-year-old man who had been going door-to-door with a chainsaw after he caused a disturbance near a local school.
Omaha police said the man was about a quarter of a mile west of the Omaha Veterans Administration Center with the chainsaw Friday morning in what they called an attempt to “make money.”
Police said a homeowner confronted the man. They argued, and the man threatened the homeowner. The homeowner then chased the man.
The man dropped his chainsaw but the homeowner tackled him another quarter of a mile to the west, near Holy Cross Catholic Church and its school. Police said he tried to enter the school to get away from the homeowner, with no intent “to cause harm to anyone inside.”
Police said they found several drug pipes on the man. He was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and possessing drug paraphernalia.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Louisiana State Troop F offered tips for caregivers and parents on protection to keep children safe in their car seats on Saturday.
The Child Safety Seat Check event was held May 28, 2022 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the state police’s Child Passenger Safety Technician Course. The event took place at Sam’s Club in Monroe, and no appointment was necessary.
Two parents learned a couple of things about their baby’s seat that they didn’t know.
“He showed me how to actually work the seat belt. I did not know that if you pull the seat belt all the way out, it’ll restrain to keep your infant in. I was just putting the seat belt - and you know, it would have some slack in it. And that’s what we do not want. We don’t want any slack in those seat belts,” said Shelby Augustine, a mother in Monroe.
During Augustine’s pregnancy, she went online to watch videos on child passenger safety. Due to her son’s early arrival, she says the process of learning how to secure a car seat was kind of a rush.
“And you know before you leave the hospital, the nurses come by to show you how to strap your infant in to make sure they’re good to go. And that’s where we went, and as soon as we got outside, I just clipped him in and made sure it was sturdy, and that thing was in the middle, and I was like, okay, we’re good to go,” Augustine says.
According to state police, it is a proven fact that car seats and booster seats save lives.
“These devices offer the best protection for children in the event of a crash. However, approximately 3 out 4 child seats are not used correctly. This misuse rate can be attributed to the great variety of child seats available, the great range of children’s weights and heights, and the vast array of vehicles in today’s market. These misuses span all races, educational levels, and socioeconomic status.” - Louisiana State Police Troop F
LA State Police are available seven days a week to inspect car seats. State police say the services are free to ensure the safety of your child. Appointments can be made by calling 318-345-0000.

It may seem like an oxymoron, considering the infamous Los Angeles traffic, but the LA Galaxy are looking to get into the fast lane. An El Trafico win over LAFC in the US Open Cup Round of 16 is a prime example of how the Galaxy need to push the pace.
“You start to see all the capabilities of the group when the game gets going a little faster for us and there's a little more space,” Vanney said.
That 3-1 victory at Dignity Health Sports Park Wednesday was understandably an emotional one, especially coming off back-to-back defeats at home, the latest a 3-0 loss to Houston Dynamo FC on May 22.
The Galaxy are looking to now ride the momentum of that Open Cup win when they take on Austin FC at home Sunday (6 pm ET | UniMás, TUDN, Twitter).
“The challenge is maintain that mindset, that motivation, that drive, that hunger in every single match we’re going to play, even if it's on the road or it's here because that's the standard of LA Galaxy,” Javier ‘Chicharito' Hernandez said. "The titles and everything this organization has is not only the outcome, but how they achieved that. And the how is something similar to the other game. Consistency’s the main word, consistency’s the main objective and a challenge we're going to face.”
Vanney touted the play of Chicharito and wingers Kevin Cabral and Samuel Grandsir against LAFC. Cabral and Grandsir dictated the pace on both flanks and Chicharito was especially dangerous with the space the wingers created.
“[Cabral] and Sam on both sides just gave us a different level of acceleration and speed,” Vanney said. “These guys covered so much ground at high speed it just puts the opposition’s defenders on notice, which creates space between our lines, which does a lot of things for us.”
Cabral broke a goalless draw in the 51st minute, a big goal for the young Designated Player who has struggled with finishing his chances. Six minutes later, Chicharito doubled the advantage.
“I think Javier, when the space opens up and Javier has some space to move and create separation, that’s when we see Javi at his best too," Vanney said. "On the goal that Kevin scores, the movement that Javier makes to get himself free is as impressive as the goal Kevin ends up scoring on the same play.”
Vanney said Cabral's goal was big because it “reinforces the quality he has as a player,” while saying the 22-year-old has emotionally dealt with the pressures of being a Galaxy DP and has improved his defensive work rate and running off the ball.
“I think Kevin had a great night and Sam had maybe his best performance ever with the Galaxy just in sheer playing every single play the way he did,” Vanney said. “That takes us to a different speed as a team, which is I think important in our league. We were very dangerous on the counterattack, which I haven’t seen for a little while.”
Now, after the emotion of a derby win, the Galaxy face a stiff test in Austin FC, which handed LA a 1-0 loss at Q2 Stadium on May 8.
“I said this last time, both teams have a similar vision of how they want to play,” Vanney said. "So it’ll be about who can protect themselves against a good attack and who can create the better opportunities and ultimately execute.” | https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/la-galaxy-hoping-to-stay-in-fast-lane-against-austin-fc-after-emotionally-el-tra | 2022-05-28T22:14:05Z | https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/la-galaxy-hoping-to-stay-in-fast-lane-against-austin-fc-after-emotionally-el-tra | false | 1 |
T.I. gave King some positive advice amid his intense argument at Waffle House.
Earlier this week, King Harris, son of T.I. and Tiny, got into a verbal dispute with Waffle House employees. What started as an incorrect order led to harsh comments being said and threats being made. The entire incident, which was caught on camera, has been circulating for a while.
In the video, the 17-year-old told the staffers to meet him in the parking lot so that they can fight it out. He yelled, "I'm outside, come out and shake some... You still talking inside, though."
After he was handed his food and it was time for him to leave, he made some threats that seemed promising. He said, "Wait till I come back late night-- and it's just you-- and I slap you up."
The incident has caught the attention of his father, T.I., and he's issued a statement on the matter. He went live on Instagram for his 14 million followers and expressed himself. He started by saying, "Me and his uncles, we were perplexed by his necessity to go back and forth with a short ordered cook."
He then went on to question why the worker felt the need to "engage with someone who is at such another level of life." The father of eight stated that he had to explain to King that not everybody is as happy with their lives as he is. "I had to explain to him," he started, "that when people are not living the way they hoped they would live... and here you [are] walking in with so much freedom and luxury, people are going to posture themselves a certain way."

Phillies Backup Catcher Stubbs Is Having Breakout Success
Garrett Stubbs is off to a phenomenal start.
With his clutch three-run home run last night, the Philadelphia Phillies backup catcher raised his OPS to 1.162. That's tops among secondary backstops in the National League.
Only one catcher in all of baseball, Blue Jays backup Danny Jansen, is hitting better than Stubbs.
Thanks in large part to Stubbs and his hot start, Philadelphia has one of the best catching tandems in baseball. Phillies catchers rank fifth in MLB and third in the NL in catcher Wins Above Replacement (per FanGraphs).
While J.T. Realmuto has not lived up to expectations thus far, Stubbs has more than made up for Realmuto’s shortcomings. Philadelphia is one of just six teams whose catchers are hitting better than league average, according to the all-encompassing batting metric wRC+.
Stubbs has been a key contributor for the Phillies, and the gulf between what Stubbs has been able to do and what Andrew Knapp provided last year is enormous. The backup catcher position has gone from a weakness to a strength in Philadelphia.
That being said, no one is really expecting Stubbs to maintain his current numbers. His .379/.438/.724 slash line is reminiscent of peak Barry Bonds, not a 29-year-old backup catcher earning in the league minimum salary. But that’s not to say all this great hitting has been a fluke.
Stubbs is putting together good plate appearances and swinging the bat well. He won’t hit close to .400 all season, but he looks like he can continue to be one of the most valuable bench backstops in the sport.
All the extra-base hits have been exciting to watch, but the most promising sign is that Stubbs has been much more selective than usual at the plate this season. He has swung at just 39% of pitches this year, while in his first three seasons, he swung at 55.5%.
Has Stubbs developed a better eye for balls and strikes? It's not the simple, actually. He has reduced his swing rate on pitches inside and outside the strike zone, and his contact rate has only gone up a tad, from 79.6% to 83%.
However, with a more selective approach, it seems Stubbs had been better able to swing at the right pitches, and therefore make higher quality contact.
According to Baseball Savant, Stubbs has a Sweet Spot percentage of 41.7%–almost twice his career average heading into the season. This means he's hitting the ball at an optimal launch angle far more often than he used to.
Stubbs is also hitting the ball harder than ever before. His Hard Hit rate (per Statcast) is 37.5%, while he came into the season with a Hard Hit rate in the mid-twenties.
Hitting the ball harder and at the right angle is a recipe for good contact.
According to Statcast, Stubbs has an expected weighted on-base average on contact (xwOBACON) of .458. That's a complicated statistic, and it's still too early in the season to rely heavily on metrics like that, but in this case, all that's important is that this statistic is further proof of what great contact Stubbs has been making.
For context, Bryce Harper has a .472 xwOBACON in the Statcast era (2015-present). This does not mean Stubbs should be expected to hit like Bryce Harper going forward – years of scouting reports and data show that Stubbs is not an elite hitter, and a hot start to the season doesn't change that – but this is a really good sign that Stubbs is genuinely improving at the plate.
Although these numbers don't really suggest Stubbs is turning into an MVP candidate, they do show that he has earned his success thus far. His batted balls aren’t just dropping in for hits because of poorly aligned fielders or bad defense. He’s not just hitting bloop singles and bunting against the shift (although he can lay down a mean bunt).
No, Stubbs is hitting hard line drives—the kind of batted ball most likely to result in a hit. And it's working.
If Stubbs continues to see the ball this well and hit the ball this hard, he’s going to thrive. That’s very welcome news for a Phillies team whose All-Star catcher is struggling and could benefit from a little more time off.

Argentina to ‘Take More Time’ Reducing Energy Subsidies
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Argentina will reduce energy subsidies for utility bills at a slower pace than anticipated because of higher costs stemming from the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Economy Minister Martin Guzman said Saturday.
Reducing energy subsidies is a key part of Argentina’s $44 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund because it will help the government close its fiscal deficit. Politically, it’s also the most controversial part of the program, exacerbating an internal divide within the ruling coalition.
“It’s logical that the government takes more time in the path of reducing subsidies given that energy costs rose,” Guzman said in a radio interview Saturday. Because of the Ukraine impact, “the speed at which you can attack the reduction of subsidies is different.”

Guzman didn’t provide a new figure on how much Argentina would cut subsidies for electric and gas bills this year, and he noted that IMF staff have no problem with this change. In the IMF agreement, which was announced soon after the war began, the government committed to reducing energy subsidies by 0.6% of gross domestic product.
IMF officials are close to finishing the first review of Argentina’s new program, a technical step toward unlocking more debt relief for the country, which is refinancing money owed from a previous Fund program granted to the prior government.
The minister also said that the original inflation projection in the IMF deal for this year -- between 38% to 48% annually -- will change once the government updates its budget. Guzman didn’t say when that would happen. He emphasized that monthly inflation in May slowed compared to April, when prices rose 6% from the previous month.
“We’ve been redefining priorities amid an international context that changed a lot,” Guzman said, referring to the IMF program.

Britney Spears’ fiancé surprises by “appearing” in a Pixar movie
Sam Asghari is an Iranian model who also doubles as an actor, singer, and personal trainer. However, few knew that his favorite car is the same one used by Bob, or Mr. Incredible in the animated superhero movie.
Britney Spears she lives a ‘rebirth’ in her life since a court separated her from her father’s guardianship. The ’90s pop star announced her pregnancy a few days ago along with her boyfriend and fiancé. Sam Asghari28-year-old Iranian model and actor, thirteen years younger than the interpreter of world hits like “Baby one more time” either “toxic”.
Asghari has roles worthy of a romantic movie main character: actor, singer, model, personal trainer and with a past as a football player. The “couple” met in 2016 during the recording of the video clip of “Slumber Party”. Since then, they have become inseparable and are about to get married after getting engaged in September 2021.
What few know about this actor/model/singer/trainer, and stop counting, is that he drives in the same car as Bob, or Mr Incredible, father of the family “The Incredibles”, the animated superhero movie. The Tehran-born posted a photo on his personal Instagram where he humorously takes the comparison.
Find the differences
Asghari wrote in the photo where he is seen aboard a Ford Mustang identical to the animated character. According to a worldwide macro-survey among lovers of ‘four wheels’, this model is the classic favorite of all fans thanks to a vintage aesthetic but with touches of modernity.

Camila Cabello shows off her abs on Instagram
Camila Cabello just released a new album (congratulations, Camila!) and has returned to the stage more incredible than ever. Fortunately, the singer has shared a small summary of her performance in California and her photos are super spectacular.
In the Instagram post we have been able to see the 25-year-old singer with a most epic outfit, a top of golden roses as links in a chain that cover her chest and they show their abs stronger than ever. Downstairs, everything flows with a long semi-sheer skirt that completes the stunning look.
“@vevo 👀🌙🌙🌙🌙”, he put in the post. Which could be a hint of more gigs (a tour, maybe?) in the future. Or at least fans hope that’s the case!
People did not wait a minute to leave their comments. “You are so beautiful,” one person wrote. “Loveeeeee ❤️🔥,” said another.
The body positive guru has been working with celebrity trainer Jenna Willis for years, and the trainer just posted videos to her IG story showing Camila doing intense ab work. In the video, Camila gets into a plank position, does a push-up, and gets back up.
“Go deeper baby,” Willis wrote at the top.
Camila also shared hilarious photos on Instagram in November of herself stretching out with Willis and disheveled after a tough workout. “How’s your Sunday?” she joked in the caption.
Willis told shape that, apart from the jokes, Camila is really into her workouts. The two do circuits together, which include exercises like jump squats, shoulder plank touches, glute bridges and more.
On the food front, Camila has said that she has become more fond of vegetables in recent years thanks to her ex, Shawn Mendes. “Shawn has influenced me to be healthier… Before he didn’t eat anything healthy,” she told BBC Radio, according to Hello . “I’ve never had vegetables before. I love cold cucumbers or carrots with Caesar,” she said.
Camila has spoken out about the image and body positivity, addressing it in a TikTok that went viral last year. She talked about how there was no need to stick her guts out when she went running. “Being at war with your body is so old-fashioned,” she said.
“I actually felt so liberated when I posted that,” she later told bustle . “After that, I went to the airport and a lot of women were coming up to me like, ‘I saw that TikTok, and I really related.’ I actually feel like my body insecurities went down after I posted that because I was like, ‘No matter what pictures come out or what people say, I control the narrative now.'”

Brett Moyer
Thank you, Kirsten, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome you to our second quarter earnings call.
We had a pretty exciting quarter, with a lot of accomplishments I'm looking forward to going through with everybody. We'll highlight the accomplishments. We'll go through a few slides to catch up new investors on the business model, and then we'll go into more detail on the initiatives for revenue growth.
So we have guidance out there that we have 6 TV brands using our technology. We were able to announce the fifth one since our last call, which is Toshiba. They market in Japan and Asia, and they have adopted the WiSA SoundSend standard certification. So that the SoundSend app be downloaded onto their TV. The consumer can set up the entire WiSA system, optimize their audio preferences like from the -- with the TV remote on the TV screen. And the market will be hearing about partnerships -- marketing partnerships with Onkyo later this year. We'll have the WiSA Certified system out as well.
Also we announced that under the SoundSend certification program, any of the Android TVs, which can be -- which are marketed by Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, Hisense, Insignia, which is a Best Buy brand, and several other brands are able to download the app, load it up and drive SoundSend and the WiSA system from their TV just like Toshiba.
A big component of our plan this year is to increase WiSA's awareness with the consumers. So we had guidance out at $1 million, and we announced that we increased that guidance now to $2 million for this year. We have approximately just under 1 million people have visited the WiSA websites, and that's important to increase the consumer awareness.
Now we're launching the first of what will be a handful of stores this year, WiSA storefronts, on Amazon. This will allow us to bring consumers to the WiSA site, educate them on WiSA, educate them on all the brands that are shifting WiSA products, premium audio, mainstream, entry-level price points, and then let them go to one store that covers a lot of the brands. And so when we direct traffic off the website rather than directing traffic to a specific speaker brand or a specific retailer, we'll send them to these WiSA stores as they open up, and Amazon is the first one. I'll show you what it looks like in a minute. But if you want to get online, it's amazon.com/wisa. We also joined the Russell Microcap Index and raised $10 million in July.
Two big growth metrics for -- I want people to pay attention to. As I mentioned, we did start pivoting last year the WiSA Association from the technical standard to a consumer-facing organization. And with that, the growth of visitors being educated on WiSA has gone from 26,000 to 360,000 to, we expect, more than 2 million people this year.
Revenue growth. So we have said WiSA membership is a leading indicator to designs. Designs is a leading indicator to revenue growth. Consumers is a leading indicator to sell-through on revenue growth to drive further revenue growth. And as you can see, with our guidance for 2021 and our results in Q1 and Q2, we are experiencing significant year-over-year revenue growth. And that plan is working.
For new investors, if you look at -- if you're looking at investing in Summit, there's really 2 pieces to the investment. One is the technology side and know-how to build high-performing multichannel wireless audio, both in chips and IP. And then there's the standard for WiSA, which has more than 70 brands in it that helps build the ecosystem for those products.
If you look at the low of WiSA, just like with HDMI, when you're sending a highly sophisticated signal from one source to another, you need to know what to send out and the receiver needs to know what to receive. So WiSA has a technical spec around transmission so that TVs, AV receivers can transmit to speakers, and speakers know how to understand and process that audio.
This year, not all these products are in market yet, but they're either in market, in production or about to go into production. So we'll have a broad range of products in the fall for the consumer to market to. In total, there's more than 25 brands that will be using our technology, and we look forward to continue building out the ecosystem.
For the people that are thinking about what is the market that we're addressing, it's really the deficiency in the TV market and the deficiency in the WiFi technology. So the TV -- thin TVs have pretty low audio quality. It helps with a sound bar. Add a sub, it's better. And with WiFi, you can add a couple of your speakers. Now with WiSA, you can actually add all the speakers and get the full impact of going to the movie theater with front speakers, center speakers, rear speakers, Dolby Atmos speakers and still have the simplicities of a sound bar setup, right?
So you're not installing. You're not paying an installer. You plug in some devices into wall outlets and an HDMI cable into a TV. Just like the sound bar, just as simple. So from a consumer experience, you're getting better sound, same simple installation. And if you look at Enclave Audio or Platin Audio, you're actually getting considerably lower-priced solution for a better sound field than, say, some of these premium sound bars from Bose and Sonos and Sony, which just the sound bars are running at $800. So a subwoofer moves you in the $1,300 price. So that is the market opportunity to get full cinema sound around those smart TVs with almost all the streaming services streaming high-resolution, multichannel audio for the consumer to use, right?
The three growth initiatives are SoundSend, the WiSA Wave, which is impacting both retailers, brands and consumers, and our next-gen technology. So SoundSend, it was an important program this quarter to announce that you can -- a TV brand can now certify that you're SoundSend-compatible. And this lets both the TV guys communicate that they're ready to support WiSA as well as the speaker guys know that they can support WiSA. And for the consumer, they now have a simple app that can be loaded on their TV. And the TVs turns into an effective AV receiver, right? We're getting good product awards for a product that's been out just 6 months, good consumer traction, and we think this is a big catalyst for us going forward.
All right. A couple of new things for the long-term investors that we're going to talk about now. So we have talked about driving consumers to WiSA, educating them on the benefits of WiSA, benefits of full surround sound, with Dolby, without Dolby Atmos versus a sound bar that's simulating everything. Well, it benefits the entire ecosystem by driving this. One, the brands get their products out marketed as a category. Two, the consumers get the longing and hear what we're doing. Three, as marketers, we can actually identify who's engaged as a consumer and in market to buy audio, who's in market to buy audiophile levels of $2,000, $3,000 and above systems, who's looking for just a great audio at a better price and new to the program is helping the reseller. So one way is to open up WiSA storefronts like you saw with Amazon, and we'll talk about it in a minute.
The other thing is when you look at our data analytics, we can take all that information, whether it's geography, time on site, pages, looking for high end or lower end entry level price point, we are making that data available to WiSA Certified resellers. So if you have two brands of TVs, if you have two brands of speakers, and you want to create a WiSA storefront, they will also make available that data, those analytics so you can remarket directly to these engaged consumers your WiSA offerings and bring them to your WiSA website. We think this is a great enhancement to the WiSA Wave campaign.
What's the store look like? Look, I'm proud of the marketing team. I think the WiSA store looks fabulous. I think it does exactly what you'd want it to do, right, the consumer quickly on one landing page can see certified speaker category, certified transmitters, TVs and TVs and audios bundled together, right? So consumer sees that this is a full category. They can click in.
Now you will not see all brands on Amazon. There's a lot of premium brands at malls. There's premium brands that are only shipped in Europe, in China, et cetera. But when we open up these stores, whatever is in WiSA Certified is able to come into those store pages, and the consumer will see the whole category.
If you think about it, that was part of why we launched the Platin Audio brand, simply to create a bigger category for all consumers, right? We think the Enclave is a great mainstream product, really high performance. We think the audiophiles, of course, with the $3,000, $5,000, $20,000, great products. But when you think about what you can do with a cost-effective design, we can really go out and market a great sounding system for $800, $900. And so we wanted to create that entry point for the WiSA ecosystem with Platin Audio.
All right. Gen 2. So I get lots of questions on the market side. I get lots of questions on gen 2. This -- we have launched our first product. That is our IP and software loaded onto an IoT device, WiFi device. It is specifically targeted to sound bars and speakers and subwoofers. But the plan here is to bring out 5 gigahertz, which has more than 4 channels. And that product is applicable to smart TVs, smartphones, smart speakers, tablets, headphones, the whole smart wireless connected market.
Now we have defined this as our strategy. We will continue to talk about it as we get closer to when there's designs to talk, when there's revenue to recognize. But right now, it's the 2.4 gigahertz that is applicable to sound bars that we're marketing.
In terms of market size, another popular question we get. We think that gen 1 is really applicable to -- and that's the current product we're shipping, the top third of the market for the industry. But when you look at 270,000 smart TVs being shipped, and you look at IP that can either be loaded onto a TV or really a very cost-effective transmitter, substantially lower than the SoundSend, then we can see a 30% share for the whole market. When combined, the $85 million TAM for gen 1 and $554 million, gen 2. This is a $650 million market TAM, not considering what is available on headphones and other smart devices that the gen 2 ultimately would be applicable to.
All right. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to George to update you on revenue and guidance. George?
George Oliva
Thank you. So revenue continued to grow sequentially. The June quarter was approximately $1.6 million in revenue. That's over 350% growth over the same quarter prior year. The gross margin was approximately 29% compared to 3.4% in Q2 2020 and up several points sequentially from the prior quarter. OpEx was $3.3 million, which included about $400,000 of noncash expenses, primarily stock compensation expense, compared to $2 million in the prior year, of which $100,000 was stock compensation expense.
If you recall, Q2 2020 was the height of uncertainty around COVID. We cut salaries and cut spending while we were -- the markets were in a bit of uncertainty. So that was our low point in terms of spending. The net loss for the quarter was $3.4 million. That was after about $600,000 of other expense, which was noncash expense relating to warrant exercise inducement. And that compared to a $3.4 million loss in the prior year Q2, of which about $1.4 million was interest expense that was related to bridge funding that we did in Q2 of the prior year.
In terms of guidance, we're far along in the year where we feel comfortable giving guidance for the full year. We think we're going to come in between $6.5 million and $7 million of revenue for the year. That will represent about 180% increase year-over-year.
The gross margin will continue to trend around our target, 28% to 30%. We -- looking at a full year of OpEx around $12.8 million, of which $1.4 million will be noncash stock compensation expenses.
That's all. So with that, I'll hand it back to Brett.
Brett Moyer
George, let's recap the balance sheet.
George Oliva
Okay. June cash was $10.3 million. We raised a net $9.2 million in July. And we expect year-end cash to come in between $13 million and $15 million. So with that financing, we feel that the company is well capitalized for 2022.
Keep in mind, we still have warrants outstanding that are in or near the money that could be exercised, but we feel we're in pretty good shape now.
Brett Moyer
All right. Thanks, George. And so with that, before we take questions, to summarize, we're actively building a wireless standard around WiSA. We've got both trademarks and IP. We think the HDMI model is a good model for us to emulate. We've got a large market out there with smart devices, headphones and sound bars. Adoption is being -- is increasing both with brands and consumers. And we think this -- working with the retailers in a tighter fashion will really help drive revenue growth this year and beyond.
With that, operator, I'd like to open it up for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions]. Our first questions come from the line of Jack Aarde with Maxim Group.
Jack Aarde
Congrats on the solid results, strong guidance. I'll start with a question for maybe both Brett and George. So you guys introduced 2021 full year guidance parameters for the first time. The guidance itself appears to be positive relative to expectations. But what is perhaps, I don't know, more encouraging in my view is the fact that you provided full year guidance at all given the semiconductor industry environment we're in.
So maybe just two questions. Can you talk about whatever factors are at play that give you that confidence or incremental visibility to provide 2021 guidance? And then two, maybe can you talk about your revenue expectations for the third quarter and the fourth quarter, kind of how you expect that to directionally trend?
Brett Moyer
All right. So you're absolutely right. The semiconductor world is challenging in terms of supply. We have secured our supply to provide modules for our customers, but we have seen our customers push back production, waiting for other components to arrive. We saw orders move out of Q2 into Q3.
Now in terms of why we guided to the year, we think that at this point in the year, in August, given the orders that are on the book and the lead time for our orders, we have a pretty clear sight on the bulk of our revenue. Certainly, there's always upside or downside of products get pushed because of part shortages. But we're sitting there thinking this is really where we're going to be. And we'll properly hedge under any minor changes to the plant.
Jack Aarde
Okay. Great. That's helpful, Brett. I appreciate the color. And then maybe just a follow-up. As it relates to the gen 2 opportunity in general, is there any impact, a similar impact or kind of maybe a nuanced impact in terms of how the semiconductor industry impacts your gen 2 plans? Is there anything there of note?
Brett Moyer
So the -- we believe the IP that we've developed and the software we've developed can be easily loaded on most WiFi chips. We are not looking for a more expensive solution. We have ongoing semiconductor conversations with potential partners that would, let's just say, offer a broad selection of channels to use for the audio and a significantly lower cost than what we're shipping today. But until those partnerships are finalized, that's a directional statement, and we'll leave it at that.
Jack Aarde
Got it. That's helpful. And then just maybe another kind of growth catalyst, I imagine something that could ramp up over time into material growth drivers is your new Amazon storefronts. So any initial expectations from a -- what that means for your revenue or your sales momentum as you kind of like go from 3Q to the fourth quarter? Are you already getting inbound interest more so than without it? Just anything you could provide there would be interesting.
Brett Moyer
I think the Amazon store and the ones that are to come have a fundamental long-term impact on building WiSA as a trademark that consumer recognizes the universal wireless standard for multichannel, number one, right? In terms of, two, how does it impact Q2 -- how does it impact Q3 and Q4 sales, I am a believer that it will significantly impact the sales of our customers, right? So if you go in there, you'll see LG TV. You'll see Hisense TVs. You'll see Enclave. You'll see Klipsch. You'll see Platin. You'll see transmitters from Axiim, I believe. And the consumer traffic has been significant already. I think we're close to putting -- having directed 10,000 consumers into Amazon already.
Operator
Our next questions come from the line of David Lavigne with Trickle Research.
David Lavigne
So Brett, can you just give me the -- or give us the current number of brands of products in the market now, and then maybe a little bit of color on those that are coming but not quite there yet, maybe the third quarter things? Can you give us that number or something close to that?
Brett Moyer
So we're not going to comment on what brands are bringing out in the third and fourth quarter. That's their job, okay? That would be -- that would not be appreciative of our customer base.
In terms of who's in the market, I can run through real quick and pull that slide up. Harman, Bang & Olufsen, Onkyo, Klipsch, Almando, Primare, Savant, Platin, Enclave, Buchardt, Axiim, I think Ecler is in the market, EC Living is in the market, PIEGA is in the market, System Audio is in the market as well as the 5 TV guys.
David Lavigne
Can you give us a number -- just a number on what you expect in the third quarter that aren't there today?
Brett Moyer
It's this list on slide -- I don't know, the brand slide. We're saying 25-plus brands will be shipping our technology.
David Lavigne
Okay. So -- and I know this is our job, but I'm going to ask you anyway. Are you starting to see or develop any comfort level with correlations between the website traffic and your actual business? I mean you sort of talked about those sort of the leading indicators. Are you starting to develop any sense that we might get to a point where we can sort of look at website traffic and think about how that might translate into sales? I mean I know that's a big if, but just sort of curious how you view that.
Brett Moyer
Well, I think you absolutely should be, right? I'm not -- my team laughs at me for being quantitative. I'm not doing it for my health, right? I'm an absolute believer that the point of educating consumers and showing them multiple products and showing them category and the license side and then I'm moving to a retailer to see a category, albeit virtual, fundamentally changes the sales curve.
I see the week before -- the week of Father's Day, traffic went up to -- I think it was actually 25% of the traffic was return visitors. What does that tell you? That tells you that the consumers that were coming in a week before or a month before, 6 months before, came back shopping, right? That's highly educational. We saw that in Christmas season last year, and we were just getting started on the program that from Thanksgiving weekend until mid-December, we were running in the low 20% of return visitors. So people have valuable time. I don't think people come back to a site they thought was worthless, right?
So to the extent that you can see that type of consumer behavior, you can see a lot of people being directed to the WiSA store, there's some initial good metrics coming out of Amazon that we like, that only leads -- can only lead to higher sales for the ecosystem.
David Lavigne
Yes. I mean I don't know how necessarily to -- at this point, how to sort of put it all into numbers. But it certainly seems to me that WiSA Wave is becoming quite constructive to you. That's how it seems. So I'll leave it at that.
Operator
Our next questions come from the line of Ed Woo with Ascendiant Capital.
Ed Woo
Yes. Congratulations on the quarter, and thank you for providing us full year guidance. You mentioned that you have visibility for this year. What about visibility into next year? Do you think that the challenges in the semiconductor industry will ease up for yet to be able to have no issues next year?
George Oliva
So we're not ready to guide next year. We just got to a point of guiding this year. But for the semiconductor space, I can't say that I can truly definitively say what will happen, right? And what I do think is pretty common thought among a lot of executives, that it will ease. I think there are several components of that easing. One, supply expanding. Two, there may be some protective inventory buying that dissipates almost like what you saw a year ago with the consumer buying toilet paper and paper towel because the sky was falling. There may be a component of that. We don't see it because we know where our customers move and know that a number of our customers are not entering new regional markets because of their part shortages. But I think all those can be factors. And yes, it'll work itself out over time. But whether it's Q1 or Q4 next year, I know not to say that.
Ed Woo
All right. And then the other question I have is, what do your retail partners see for the holidays? I mean, obviously, there's a lot of spending on the stay-at-home, building up the house last year. Do people feel as confident that consumer demand will increase and we'll have a good holiday season for consumer electronics this year?
Brett Moyer
I believe the trend continues strongly. Yes. And I believe the trend is capped in the [indiscernible] supply.
Operator
Our next questions come from the line of Spencer Kirschman with H.C. Wainright.
Spencer Kirschman
Congrats on the quarter. I just had a quick question. If you were able to provide some color on the percentage that the Amazon web store makes up of your sales mix as well as any color on those future storefronts that you talked about earlier.
Brett Moyer
Well, I'll take the last part of that question first. So we're targeting 4 or 5 storefronts for the holidays for this year. First one is up at Amazon. We are actively working with a handful of other retailers to create those storefronts and however their e-presence allows it to be done. What was the other part of your question?
Spencer Kirschman
The percentage that the Amazon web store made up of the sales mix.
Brett Moyer
Well, if you look at Amazon just from the brands that are in there, those are only the U.S. brands. And it's only the entry-level mainstream up to Klipsch type brands. Harman has a very small presence in the U.S. They're inventory-constrained. So most of their volume goes to China and Europe. So I don't think it's -- I think the license store is critical, especially getting a handful up, and we'll ultimately look at how to replicate that in Europe and China. But how it responds to each individual brand in that store, how it impacts the bundles that are in that store with some of resellers already or impacts on TV lines, we don't know yet. We do know, like I said in the -- we probably have about 10,000 -- 8,000 to 10,000 consumers that have already gone to that store shopping.
Spencer Kirschman
That's very helpful. And in terms of second half revenue, you mentioned that some orders had been pushed back from the second quarter to the third quarter. Do you think that might impact any of the manufacturing that might take place, preparation for the holiday season?
Brett Moyer
No. I think that from a manufacturing line, there's capacity. Everybody's fighting their parts shortages.
Operator
[Operator Instructions]. There are no further questions at this time. I would like to hand the call back over to Brett Moyer for any closing comments.
Brett Moyer
Look, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to hear our products. The team has been doing a great job executing. It's a pretty exciting time for WiSA, and we look forward to updating you throughout the rest of the quarter. Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. This does conclude today's teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time.

Cruz Azul was warned that the Champion of Champions will play if the Atlas repeats, they accelerate by technician
In the event that Atlas is a two-time Liga MX champion, Cruz Azul will play the Champion of Champions, which is scheduled for June 26 in the United States.
Blue Cross was already notified by MX League who will play Champion of Champions in case the Atlas be a two-time champion, reported sources from the sky-blue team, so they are rushing to designate the coach who will lead the team in the next tournament.
If Atlas be two-time Liga MX champion, Blue Cross will play the Champion of Championswhich is scheduled to play on June 26 in the United States.
According to the regulations of the MX League“The Champion Clubs of the Opening Tournament 2021 Y Closure 2022 will be able to dispute the Title of Champion of Champions of the BBVA MX LEAGUE”, but being two-time champion Atlas, the last winner of the Liga MX will be used, which would be the Blue Cross.
In the last edition of Champion of ChampionsThe Celestial Machine defeated the Lionin Los Angeles, California, with almost 30 thousand fans in the stands.
This situation accelerates the task of the directive of the Blue Cross for having a technician for the next tournament, since it was ceased to John Reynoso, who had won the championship with the Celestes. According to the reporter ESPNLeón Lecanda, the directors of La Maquina have considered Diego Aguirre, Francisco Palencia and José Manuel Chepo de la Torre.
In the case of the Uruguayan Diego Aguirrethe coach who was at the Brasil International also has offers from another Liga MX team, so his incorporation to the La Noria team is not certain.
If he Pachuca beats Atlasthe Champion of Champions will be played between Tuzos and the Atlasso the end of Closure 2022 will be repeated in the United States.
The rojinegros hope to be the third two-time champion of the MX Leaguein history, and would play against Blue Cross the Champion of Champions in the U.S. | https://codelist.biz/2022/05/25/cruz-azul-was-warned-that-the-champion-of-champions-will-play-if-the-atlas-repeats-they-accelerate-by-technician/ | 2022-05-28T22:39:56Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/05/25/cruz-azul-was-warned-that-the-champion-of-champions-will-play-if-the-atlas-repeats-they-accelerate-by-technician/ | true | 1 |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Mac Horvath hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the eighth inning and Danny Serretti followed with a two-run double to spark No. 8 seed North Carolina to a 7-2 victory over No. 4 seed Notre Dame in the semifinal round of the ACC Tournament on Saturday.
North Carolina (37-19) advances to play the winner of the second semifinal — either No. 11 seed Pittsburgh or No. 12 seed North Carolina State — in Sunday's championship game.
The Tar Heels pulled away from a 2-2 tied in the eighth. Mikey Madej singled leading off. Tomas Frick reached first on a throwing error by pitcher Aidan Tyrell on a sacrifice bunt attempt and Patrick Alvarez followed with a walk to load the bases.
Jackson Dennies replaced Tyrell and struck out Johnny Castagnozzi for the first out. Will Mercer relieved Dennies and struck out Angel Zarate on three pitches for the second out. But Horvath singled through the right side of the infield to score Madej and Danny Serretti added two insurance runs with a double.
Castagnozzi delivered a two-run single in the ninth to cap the scoring.
North Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on Colby Wilkerson's RBI ground out.
The Fighting Irish (35-14) took a 2-1 lead on solo home runs by No. 9 hitter Jack Brannigan in the third and Carter Putz in the fifth.
Shawn Rapp (4-0) retired all five batters he faced in relief to get the win for the Tar Heels. D Palermo a hit and a walk, striking out three in the final two innings for his fifth save.
Tyrell (5-1), didn't retire a batter and took the loss for Notre Dame. He allowed a hit and a walk and was charged with three unearned runs.

The Testing was difficult and not very helpful. I feel like the test had material that was not covered in the course. If you fail the test you should have something leading you back to study sections so you can reivew the material that you fail. I in my group was not the only one to feel this course lacked all the correct information to get 100% on all the test. I'm glad this one is done and in the books.

Ok, what I really like about this course are the instructors and how they approach the topic. You learn everything from preparing to doing the actual interviews including challenging topics like negotiating the salary. I normally would rate this course with 5 stars but what extremely annoys me are the assignments. Quizes are hard and so are the recordings you have to prepare. This would be OK if passing the assignment would not be associated with playing the lottery. You need 16 out of 20 points (5 questions with 4 points max) to pass an assignment. Getting 4 points is really hard since you have to perfectly fullfill the respective evaulation criteria (e.g. do a 5 minute talk --> Was the talk perfectly effective? Speaker perfectly enthusiastic? etc.). Doing so is nearly impossible for the average student because nearly nobody is a perfect speaker. Before knowing how hard it is to pass I rated many other students with 3 points per question, not knowing that they would fail. And under normal circumstances I would have given them 2 points because the evaluation criteria are really hard to accomplish, if you are honest. Moreover, often you only have one reviewer and deadlines can't be met because nobody or only one person review your assignment. Submissions are also often lacking, so you can't evaluate them, which is necessary to pass the course. In the end, I like the content of this course but I feel that it's much too difficult and random to pass assignments. Of all the 10 courses I did on Coursera this one was the hardest to pass and I'm about to quit it since you have to spend a lot of money when it takes so long to finish.

some good information, but many of the exercises are poorly constructed and ultimately useless

This course should be taken by anyone involved in the processs of applying for job interviews! It's both useful and pleasant to take.
I work for a big company, in France, in the field of "science & technology R&D", and my lab recently opened a position for which we started interviewing applicants a few weeks ago. As a member of the team the position is opened to work with, I've been involved in the interview process. I was just amazed to see how unprepared the applicants were : they made mistake after mistake. Since we also have trainees and Ph.D students in the lab, who'll soon have to search for their first job, I had a look at the MOOC offer in the field of "preparing for job interviews", in order to see what advice I could provide for them to get prepared for this key step in building their career.
I registered to this MOOC, as an auditor, and started browsing through their videos and accompanying documents. I just got caught in right away, despite the fact that I couldn't participate (neither submit nor evaluate) in assignments: one needs to be pay for that, and I had no real interest in doing so, for now, although I truly think it's worth the cost if one is in the position of preparing for job interviews.
I realised that, if the job applicants we interviewed in my lab had taken this remarkable course prior to their interviews, this would have saved them so many basic mistakes. If you never had the opportunity to reflect on what a job interview process is, and are applying for interviews, just give it a try: I bet you'll benefit from this experience a lot... and it might simply change your life! This course is the second of a series of 5 from a specialization. I already audited the first 2 courses, and I'm just eager to see the next two come on stage (the last is a capstone project I'll skip for now.)

Acting Director of the Directorate of Gender Affairs Jamie Saunders
Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Sir Ronald Sanders, has welcomed the election yesterday, by acclamation, of the Antigua and Barbuda candidate for the Executive Committee of Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM).
Ambassador Sanders said that the election of Mr. Jamie Saunders of the Directorate of Gender Affairs in Antigua and Barbuda, is recognition of the pivotal role that Antigua and Barbuda has been playing on key issues at the Organization of American States (OAS).
He observed that, within 24 hours of Gender Affairs Minister, Dean Jonas, proposing Mr. Saunders as a candidate for Executive Committee, he was elected on the strength of the campaigning efforts of Antigua and Barbuda’s Permanent Delegation to the OAS.
Ambassador Sanders expressed his thanks to the OAS member states who supported Antigua and Barbuda’s candidate without a vote.
Established in 1928, the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) was the first inter-governmental agency established to ensure recognition of women’s human rights and is the only hemispheric political forum for women’s rights and gender equality.
Minister Dean Jonas said he was delighted at the success of Mr. Saunders’ election, “following the swift engagement by Ambassador Sanders and his team in Washington, DC, Joy-Dee Davis and Gillian Joseph”.
The Minister said that membership of the Executive Committee of the SIM “is a perfect fit with his Ministry’s efforts to promote full and equal access, participation, representation, leadership and influence of women in the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural spheres”.
Minister Jonas added “in collaboration with our Embassy in Washington, our Gender Affairs Department and Mr. Jamie Saunders, will actively advance the interests of women in Antigua and Barbuda and the hemisphere”.

Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in 2022 Champions League Final originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The European Champion Clubs’ Cup is headed back to Spain’s capital.
Real Madrid earned the trophy again on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in Saturday’s UEFA Champions League Final. It’s Madrid’s 14th time winning the league, doubling any other European club, and fifth time in the last nine years.
The clash was a rematch of the 2018 Champions League Final. There were more goals on both sides of that 3-1 contest, but that match also ended with Madrid on top.
There was controversy at the Stade de France before Saturday’s match even began. Police deployed tear gas on spectators attempting to enter the venue as security struggled to keep a handful of fans from getting through. The match was ultimately delayed 37 minutes due to crowd issues.
Once the contest got started, Thibaut Courtois stepped up in a major way for Real Madrid. His top first-half moment came on a sprawling save off a shot from Sadio Mane, tipping the ball into the post to keep the game scoreless.
Local
Despite Liverpool getting the better chances in the first half, Real Madrid came the closest to getting on the board in the first half. Karim Benzema found the back of the net after a broken play in the box, but he was deemed offside. The officials went to a lengthy VAR review and the initial call stood.
Real Madrid got their first goal in the 59th minute thanks to some precision passing. Casemiro got it to Federico Valverde, who fired a ball right to Vinicius Junior through the box for a tap-in goal.
Once Madrid got their goal, their goalkeeper was the star to close out the game. Courtois made a handful of stellar saves, including one off the boot of Mohamed Salah in the 82nd minute that very well could have been an equalizing strike:
In the end, Courtois had nine saves in the victory to secure his first Champions League title.
Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti also made history with the win, becoming the first manager to win eight European trophies. | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/real-madrid-beat-liverpool-1-0-in-2022-champions-league-final/3064364/ | 2022-05-28T23:03:09Z | https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/real-madrid-beat-liverpool-1-0-in-2022-champions-league-final/3064364/ | true | 10 |

Very interesting course on a very interesting dance. But don't take it if you want to learn how to dance it. This is about its history. Several good links to several online sources.

Well worth taking, good overview and insight into tango history and emerging tango , would like to see the course more expansive for more experienced tango dancers, a free course offering and an entertaining and informative way to learn
By Chelsea L F

This course is entrancing much like Tango is. The benefit of taking this course goes above and beyond receiving a certificate. To be immersed in the music, culture and knowledge of Tango is such a blessing.
By Gary M
•Dec 2, 2019
As a tango dancer, I found the material to be very good and providing a great overview of the dance, music, culture and history. I found the quizzes sometimes 'wrong' where the text of the course says one thing and but the correct answer to the question expected something different. This happened only a few times and wasn't a showstopper. Overall, kudos to Kristin for so much detail and thorough work and an excellent presentation that was so well organized including multi-media. Really superb.

Ms. Wendland is a fantastic professor who has given us a wonderful overview of Tango and its history. She makes us want to learn more and to be alert to tango events near us and to take notice of small important details of feet, steps, closeness, faces, hands....everything and how the leader and the follower dance together so perfectly as the leader interprets the music and the follower does in her own way. It truly is a way to have a conversation without knowing the other person's language. Thank you so very much.

Very informative on the history of tango from the music, the dance, and even the lyrics. The class has multimedia sources to explore and shared experienced from the people who are learning the Argentino tango. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the tango.

It is very good course to get a big picture what tango really is. No way to cover extensively the richness of tango music, dance, poetry in a short course, but here you can decide what you are the most interested in ... and you can go from there!
By Isabella T
•Apr 27, 2020
I really enjoyed this course! I felt like I received a comprehensive learning of all aspects of tango (music, dance and poetry). For anyone interested in learning about tango or different cultural art forms I highly recommend taking this course!
By Isadora B S

A great summary of the history of tango, from the first figures to the contemporary and new composers. It's a short course but great for people with no knowledge at all as well as tango dancers, musicians and singers.
