Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul was arrested on Saturday in Napa County.
It looks like Nancy Pelosi's husband got himself in a bit of trouble while the Speaker of the House was away for the weekend. Paul Pelosi was arrested late Saturday night for driving under the influence.
The House of Representatives is on break for Memorial Day weekend, and Nancy Pelosi used the free time to travel up to Rhode Island to give a commencement speech at Brown University. "Join me live @brownuniversity as I deliver the Commencement Oration to 2022 graduates and receive an honorary doctorate degree," the Speaker wrote on Twitter. Meanwhile, it seems her husband Paul has been using his time off this holiday weekend a little less productively.

While Nancy was at Brown University, it appears that Paul was perhaps getting into the brown liquor. Mr. Pelosi was arrested around midnight Saturday in Napa County and was booked into jail hours later. He was charged with two misdemeanors: driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher and driving under the influence. His wife has yet to address the arrest, and any other family members have remained quiet as well. So far, additional details of the incident remain murky.
Paul's bail was set at $5,000, a price which probably won't break the bank for the Pelosi family, seeing as Paul is the head of the San Francisco-based real estate firm Financial Leasing Services and his wife occupies one of the highest seats in the US government. Paul is 82 years old and has been married to Nancy since 1963.
While Speaker Pelosi gets her doctorate and Paul Pelosi gets his DUI, pressure mounts on the political establishment to do something about the proliferation of school shootings in the US. Both stories remain developing.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Ten months ago, Steve Alker was about to turn 50 without any guarantees of getting on the PGA Tour Champions because his professional career left plenty to be desired.
Over three decades, he played more than 550 tournaments on six tours. Only three of those seasons were on the PGA Tour. Two other seasons were in Europe.
Now the New Zealander is the hottest player on the senior circuit.
His latest and greatest feat came Sunday at Harbor Shores by Lake Michigan when Alker overcame a four-shot deficit by making nine birdies in a closing 8-under 63 to capture the Senior PGA Championship.
His three-shot victory over Canadian Stephen Ames was Alker's fourth in his last 11 tournaments. Mike Weir of Bright's Grove, Ont., finished tied for fourth at nine-under.
“It’s been a great ride out here and I’m enjoying myself,” said Alker, who earned $630,000 with his third victory of the year, pushing his season earnings to just over $1.8 million. “The first couple of weeks were OK. I wouldn’t say I’m comfortable yet, but just comfortable playing with the guys out here.”
Alker finished at 16-under 268.
Alker’s amazing play this season has certainly impressed his colleagues, especially Ames, who managed a 70 to finish runner-up. Bernhard Langer, the 64-year-old wonder from Germany, briefly tied for the lead on the back nine and shot 71 to finish third.
“I’ve watched Steven play on the European tour and the Korn Ferry Tour,” said Ames, whose round included four birdies and three bogeys. “All of a sudden out here, wow. It’s fantastic, great to see.”
The victory also secured Alker a spot next year in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill. So pedestrian was life in golf before 50 that he will be making his PGA Championship debut.
“It’s just perseverance with a capital P,” Alker said about his career turnaround.
Alker, who birdied three of his first five holes, bogeyed the difficult 443-yard seventh but then ran off four birdies in a row beginning at No. 8. He added birdies Nos. 15 and 16 to close the door on the competition.
Alker, who played in the penultimate group Sunday, was comfortable chasing Ames, Langer and Mike Weir.
“I was very, very calm,” he said. “I wanted it but I had a lot of ground to make up. I didn’t want to push too hard and go too aggressive. So I got a nice start, made some nice putts. I just kind of did everything well today.”
Ames, who had a share of the 36-hole lead with housemate Scott McCarron at 8 under and was the solo 54-hole leader by two strokes over Langer and Weir, said Harbor Shores played different Sunday because of warmer temperatures in the low 80s and south-southwest wind gusting to 25 mph.
“The lines and clubs were different off the tee, but I think everybody adjusted well,” Ames said. “Obviously, some played better than others.”
One who didn’t was Langer, who now has four top-10 finishes at Senior PGAs played at Harbor Shores but not a victory. Seeking his 12th senior major title, Langer bogeyed three straight holes starting at No. 12 – twice his bogey count of the opening three rounds – for a closing 71 and a 10-under 274 .
Weir (72), Miguel Angel Jimenez (69), K.J. Choi (65) and Paul Goydos (71) tied for fourth.
Langer, who made four birdies on his front nine, had to play out of two divots at the 548-yard 10th before managing to save his par 5.
“That really stopped the momentum,” said Langer, who then bogeyed Nos. 13-15. “It was obviously a missed opportunity. I was 14-under leading by one with eight holes to go and just didn’t close it.”
Ames birdied Nos. 2 and 3 to build a three-shot lead at 14-under. But Ames gave a stroke back with a bogey at the difficult seventh hole overlooking Lake Michigan and Alker, Langer and others began to close in.
Langer caught Ames at 13 under with his third birdie of the day at No. 8 and then added another birdie at par-5 ninth to turn at 14 under.
Alker, meanwhile, started the day with four straight 3s, two of them birdies, and then after bogeying the seventh, strung together four birdies beginning at the short 376-yard eighth hole to reach 14-under through 11.
When Ames birdied the 133-yard 11th, he joined Alker and Langer in a three-way tie and they had effectively separated themselves from the rest of the field.
The three-way tie didn’t last long as Langer made bogey from the fairway at the 12th, and then he hooked his tee shot at the 193-yard 13th into the rough on way to a second straight bogey to fall two back at 12-under. He and Ames then bogeyed the par-4 14th.
Up ahead, Alker made birdie at the 508-yard, par-5 15th by the Paw Paw River and he suddenly found himself in control of the tournament at 15-under. His final birdie at 16 and two par saves on the closing holes secured the title.

Plane goes missing in Nepal, 22 including 4 Indians on board
Kathmandu: A plane with 19 passengers, including four Indians, and three crew members went missing in Nepal on Sunday shortly after taking off, aviation authorities said.
In a statement, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal said the Tara Airlines twin-otter plane was en route to Pokhara from Mustang.
A search operation is underway to locate the aircraft which went missing soon after it took off from the Jomsom Airport in Mustang, the airline said.
Of the 19 passengers, 13 were Nepalis, four Indians and two others whose nationalities were not immediately known.
Meanwhile, a Nepal Army helicopter has located the site where the small plane of a local airline with 22 people on board, including four Indians, has possibly crashed, media reports quoted the country’s civil aviation authority as saying on May 29.
A Nepal Army helicopter carrying 10 soldiers and two employees of the civil aviation authority landed on the bank of a river near the Narshang Monastery, the possible site of the crash, according to a local newspaper.
“A Nepal Army helicopter has landed on the riverbank near Narshang Gumba,” Prem Nath Thakur, general manager of the Tribhuvan International Airport was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Interestingly, the airplane was located after Nepal Telecom tracked down the cellphone of the airplane’s pilot Captain Prabhakar Ghimire through the Global Positioning System (GPS) network.
“The cell phone of Captain Ghimire of the missing aircraft has been ringing and Nepal Army’s helicopter has landed in the possible accident area after tracking the captain’s phone from Nepal Telecom,” Thakur said. | https://indileak.com/2022/05/plane-goes-missing-in-nepal-22-including-4-indians-on-board/ | 2022-05-30T02:09:28Z | https://indileak.com/2022/05/plane-goes-missing-in-nepal-22-including-4-indians-on-board/ | true | 1 |

Thank you. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today. We are pleased to announce our financial results for the first quarter of 2021. As we continue to build on our success from 2020 and generate positive operating cash flow. In the first quarter we are excited to have closed the delivery due to acquisition, strengthening our market position in Southern Florida and solidifying our commitment to pursue additional opportunistic strategic acquisitions.
Over the last several months, we partnered with many of the country's top delivery management and optimization platforms, which provide improved operational efficiencies that benefit both restaurants and customers. Along with these platform integrations, we have partnered with a multitude of national brands, including PDQ, Applebee's, Marco's Pizza, Jason's Deli, Red Robin in various delivery only virtual restaurant concepts to our platforms, which have broadly expanded the restaurant selection for our diners. This focused and methodical sales approach resulted in a surpassing a total of 23,000 partner restaurants on the platform.
While adverse weather related events affected many of our markets for several weeks during the first quarter of 2021, we are pleased to report a 9% increase in average daily order volumes this quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Our results continued to reflect the hard work of our entire team through the execution of fundamental operational and strategic initiatives. Our ongoing recruiting and retention efforts continue to increase the total number of active independent contractor drivers on the platforms, which are at an all time high for the company. Overall, we had a great quarter and are excited about the company's future.
Now I'll turn it over to Leo, our Chief Financial Officer for a recap of first quarter results.
Leo Bogdanov
Thank you, Carl. I'd like to now review our first quarter 2021 financial results. Revenue on a pro forma basis, including the full quarterly results of delivery dates was $53.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. Comparing to pro forma revenue of $46.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 an increase $6.9 million or 15%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2021 $3.7 million, which includes $5.1 million of items we considered to be one-time non-recurring compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.4 million compared to a loss of $2.1 million first quarter of 2020 an increase of $3.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $8.3 million, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of $4.6 million or 121%. Loss per share, including [attributable] one-time and non-recurring items for both the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $0.03. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.01 compared to an adjusted loss per diluted share $0.03 for the first quarter of 2020.
In the first quarter of 2021, we made a prepayment of $15 million on our term-loan along with a cash payment of $10.9 million for the acquisition of deliveries resulting in cash on hand of $67.9 million as of March 31, 2021.

Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you, sir. [Operator Instructions] And we'll pause for just one moment to allow everyone an opportunity to signal. And we'll take our first question from Kunal Madhukar with Deutsche Bank.
Kunal Madhukar
Hi, thanks for taking the question. One housekeeping is the GFS wanted to understand what that was. And second, as you look into 2Q and as you look at like you know potential for like markets opening up and markets in various markets might already be open. But as you look at like more vaccinations, more opening up and recovery kind of [shouldn’t] be happening. How do you see the order trends and consumer behavior in your markers kind of [indiscernible]?
Carl Grimstad
Well, it's good question. And it's timely, because you… we generally have a comparison of the larger players, right, that operate in big metropolitan cities that have been locked down quite a bit for the last year. As you know, in most of our southern markets, these markets have virtually remained open. And it's a different dynamic. I think that these second and third tier markets are generally populated with working class people that have been under some level of financial hardship.
Also, as you know, we focus on independent restaurants, independent restaurants have not had the easiest time out during the COVID time. And as a result, as we go into this year, I think our comparisons will be less taxing than the big national companies. I think Q2 is probably the trickiest because that's where we saw the most stimulus comes into the market last year. But ultimately, our business seems a lot more consistent and steady then having these big blips from last year's lockdown, period.
Kunal Madhukar
Okay. And what was the GFS for this quarter?
Carl Grimstad
We already have the gross food sale number --
Leo Bogdanov
Yes, it’s $150.3 million.
Kunal Madhukar
$150.3 million okay, great. And then I've been -- Carl you mentioned, it's like working class people that lived there primarily in these markets. As you look at the issue with like most companies have in terms of like difficulty in hiring workers and what have you. Have you have you seen that kind of going of happen in those markets. It's like these guys they're like just too many jobs available for them?
Carl Grimstad
Well, I -- it's an interesting social commentary, right? I think that, I hear it from restaurants, we definitely have tried to stay ahead of the curve on the driver side. But when you're paying people more money than they typically make to go to work they don't want to work. That being said, and I think it probably affected our EBITDA margin for the quarter, because we wanted to stay in front of the subsidies coming out. And we were a bit more probably aggressive with incentives for drivers. That it affected our margin slightly there temporarily, but I think it's a nationwide issue. That if you're incenting behavior that's not consistent with working. I mean, I think it tightens the labor market up.
Kunal Madhukar
No, it totally does. But no insight into what's happening in your markets, there things haven't picked up?
Carl Grimstad
As far as what, that it's important to hire employees?
Kunal Madhukar
Yes, no, I mean, the thing is, if growth over the past year was kind of maybe muted, because it's more working class people, and they were maybe harder hit and now we are getting into a situation where jobs are aplenty and like people are not like -- not going for those jobs not applying for those jobs then they know, they must be making more money than they would be with the jobs.
Carl Grimstad
Right. So you were in -- we're in agreement, but where we would see the greatest impact would be in lack of driver supply, right. So I do hear it from restaurant partners in what have you that they're having more difficulty hiring servers or dishwashers and stuff like that. But as it affects kind of operationally our business my greatest fear all the time is, if I don't have enough drivers, I have a problem. So we try to stay in front of that dynamic and it throws another dynamic into it when you having the government paying out subsidies. So that's where it would affect us. But ultimately, as we mentioned in the release, we have the highest number of active drivers in the company's history in this past quarter. So whatever we did, we were able to weather that storm.
Kunal Madhukar
Oh, that's great. And then one last one, the average order value increased like 14%, year-over-year. And it's close to like $44. What's driving that?
Carl Grimstad
Yes. Well, it's probably a collection of a number of things. But again, we're independent restaurant. Focused right and those tickets are typically higher than QSR. And a lot of this amazing top line growth that the national businesses are seeing is driven by the QSR traffic, which hasn't been a focus of our company for a couple of reasons. But one of the things you see us talking about POS integrations, system integrator integrations, the company just didn't use that as a priority in the past. And as a result, even though they had a handful of national brands, they were handicapped in signing these brands because of the integrations. So I think, to answer your first question, it's the independent restaurant focus that drives that higher order value. And then secondarily, as time goes on. I think a lot of our comparisons and cohort data and what have you is going to be helped by a lot more national brands being on the platform because it'll be selection for our diners. And it'll continue to drive some level of top line growth there.
Kunal Madhukar
Totally. And one last one, sorry, I apologize for taking so much time, but one last one on the on the partnership that you just did with the payments provider where you can deliver -- potentially deliver [indiscernible] in states where you can legally deliver it. So how is that kind of progressing? And what kind of milestones should we be thinking of, as you kind of develop and explore that business opportunity?
Carl Grimstad
Yes, hard to say, to give guidance on milestones, of course, where we are right now is we're going through all the regulatory requirements and starting to build out a compliance solution for dispensaries to provide this end-to-end service, right. And that's going to take some time. We think it's a massive opportunity. And in both the payments and the delivery side of it. Too early for me to give you guidance on the economics. But as we've shown and you've heard me say, we're -- we build profitable businesses, right. So I expect the economics to be as good if not better than our core business.
Kunal Madhukar
Great. Thank you so much.
Operator
Thank you, sir. Next, we'll hear from Alex Fuhrman of Craig-Hallum.
Alex Fuhrman
Thanks very much for taking my question. I wanted to ask about the acquisition of Delivery Dude, can you talk about what makes this a good fit for Waitr? And then as you look forward to the next couple of quarters and years is there going to be any heavy lifting in terms of integrating that into your business? Or is that pretty much a plug and play anything you can share with us about -- how that's going to impact your results would be helpful?
Carl Grimstad
Yes, sure, thanks. We're super excited about this edition. I've said in the past, we're going to look at strategic acquisitions as part of our growth strategy. And there's hundreds of the smaller operators out there that may bring us a contiguous market, like Delivery Dude did, they may bring more order flow? They may have -- in an interesting niche in certain types of foods. Delivery Dude has a little bit more upscale restaurant selection. I wouldn't say it's just like a caviar, but it's that tier of restaurants.
They have a great team, very entrepreneurial. They did -- they've done a great job with their marketing and their messaging. And from an integration perspective, it's not a heavy lift. It's a bolt-on from that perspective. And they're growing a lot faster than our core business. And they're doing that profitably with positive EBITDA. So it kind of checked all the boxes, really good management team. Great marketing, great brand, great restaurant selection. It add to our presence in the State of Florida. It's, it's pretty good stuff.
Alex Fuhrman
That's terrific. Thanks, Carl. And then I also just wanted to ask quickly about some of the investments you are making in cannabis delivery. I know there's a lot of work to be done there and it's early. But when do you think we might start to see some of that really coming to through [vision]? And can you just talk a little bit about the investment that you're making in that space?
Carl Grimstad
Yes, so just like Kunal asked. It's too early for me to give you a timeframe. We think that the opportunity in the cannabis industry and providing a solution that both encompasses payments, as well as last mile delivery is going to be mission critical. We -- there's a lot of work to be done both on the regulatory compliance as well as putting together the pieces of the puzzle for that solution. I mean, there's different requirements state-to-state on everything from the vehicles to the employees to the drivers.
I mean it's tricky and that's why I like it, right, because ultimately, we're very early on this. And a lot of companies that are out there profess to be doing a lot of different things that they're really just not even doing yet. And the most difficult part of it, right is the driver logistics and being able to do that profitably, which we've obviously shown that we can do that. So more to come on that, too excited.
Alex Fuhrman
That's great. Thanks very much.
Operator
[Operator Instructions] We'll pause for just one moment. It appears there are no further questions at this time. Mr. Grimstad I’ll turn the conference back over to you for any additional or closing remarks.
Carl Grimstad
Thank you, and thank you to all. Thanks for your continued support. Have a nice evening.
Operator
That does conclude today's conference. We do thank you for your participation.

Josh Frydenberg’s ambition to be prime minister of Australia still burns brightly it seems, and his two most prominent Liberal Party sponsors, Alexander Downer and Michael Kroger, have both optimistically predicted that his ascension will happen one day -- even though he is no longer in the federal Parliament.
Downer at least showed some deference towards Peter Dutton when he told Q+A last Thursday that Frydenberg probably wouldn’t be the next Liberal prime minister, but that he would land the job at some point. Adopting the Joe Biden approach of becoming a first-time national leader at 78 means that Frydenberg, who turns 51 in July, still has 27 years to get the job done.
Unlike Kristina Keneally, we’re still waiting for Frydenberg to do a major post-election interview that might clarify his intentions, but the latest media briefings seem to suggest he’s going to try and cash in corporately for the next three years and then win back Kooyong in 2025. | https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/05/30/josh-frydenberg-prime-minister-australia/ | 2022-05-30T02:14:23Z | https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/05/30/josh-frydenberg-prime-minister-australia/ | false | 1 |
Britain will mark Queen Elizabeth's record 70 years on the throne this week with four days of celebrations, ranging from military parades and a church service to street parties and a pop concert outside Buckingham Palace.
Elizabeth, 96, marked seven decades on the throne in February, and two public holidays have been set aside to create a four-day weekend for nationwide events commemorating her reign on June 2-5.
It's not clear how many of these the monarch herself will attend, having been forced to miss a number of official engagements in recent months because of what Buckingham Palace calls "episodic mobility issues". Royal officials say her attendance will be decided on the day.
Paying tribute to "Elizabeth the Great" in parliament last week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said her service and dedication to duty was without parallel.
"I hope that in the coming days we can ... show with every bonfire, with every concert and street party and aerobatic display, a love and a devotion to reciprocate the love and devotion and leadership she has shown to the whole country over seven decades," he said.
The events begin on Thursday with the traditional Trooping the Colour military parade in central London, which will be followed by a fly-past of modern and historic aircraft.
The Queen is also due to make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet the crowds, although the two most controversial members of the royal family - her son Prince Andrew and grandson Prince Harry - will be absent.
In February, Andrew settled a US lawsuit in which he was accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre. He had previously stepped down from public duties because of his connections to the late convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Harry, younger son of heir Prince Charles, also gave up royal duties to move with his American wife Meghan to Los Angeles, from where they have delivered barbs and accusations of racism against the royal household.
However, both are likely to attend other engagements. Another notable absentee will be her late husband Prince Philip, who died aged 99 last April after 73 years by her side.
Friday will see a thanksgiving service at London's St Paul's Cathedral. On Saturday the Queen is due to attend the Derby horse race with other family members. Later there will be a concert outside Buckingham Palace, featuring the likes of rock group Queen, pop band Duran Duran and US singer Diana Ross.
Celebrations conclude on Sunday, with street parties and a pageant through the British capital.
Elizabeth became Queen of Britain and more than a dozen other realms including Canada, Australia and New Zealand on the death of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952, while she was in Kenya on an international tour.
In September 2015, she overtook her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria to become the longest-reigning monarch in nearly 1000 years of a line that traces its origin to Norman King William I and his 1066 conquest of England.
During her seven decades on the throne, the Queen has been a symbol of stability for the country during huge social, economic and political change, including the end of the British Empire.
Polls show she remains very popular and well respected, although they suggest growing indifference to the monarchy among younger people. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/human-interest/uk-prepares-for-queens-platinum-jubilee-c-6985749 | 2022-05-30T02:14:48Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/human-interest/uk-prepares-for-queens-platinum-jubilee-c-6985749 | false | 11 |

Wall Street has fallen in behind the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish approach to bashing inflation lower with a series of 0.50% rate rises.
Instead of throwing up their hands and selling shares, investors now accept that the Fed is deadly serious about controlling inflation and will cop whatever the central bank delivers over the rest of 2022.
The minutes from the Fed meeting at the start of May with its 0.50% increase confirmed that markets and investors generally can expect similar rises in coming months.
Investors appeared to welcome the certainty and seriousness of the central bank’s quite pointed commentary about the need for more big rate increases.
Even after the worse than expected estimate of first quarter GDP, markets bounced for a second day in a row.
The first estimate in late April showed the economy contracted 1.4% in the March quarter. Economists reckoned the second estimate would show a small improvement to a contraction of 1.3%. but the Commerce Department said gross domestic product fell at a 1.5% annual rate.
Normally that would trigger more doom and gloom but by the close, all three market measures were well and truly in the green with the tech heavy Nasdaq leading the way.
The two-day rebound even ignored weak earnings from leading clothing retailer, Gap which if they had been issued a week ago, would have triggered another sell off.
Reuters said Wall Street had risen solidly for two sessions because of “ebbing Fed fears”. That’s acceptance of the Fed’s now well-explained policy path for the next few months and heading into 2023.
The spirit of the minutes would have found support at the Reserve Bank of NZ which this week, with its second half a per cent rate rise in a row, made a similar declaration to local investors and markets – that inflation needs to be brought under control ASAP and if that involves slowing demand, so be it.
The Fed minutes showed that all members of the Open Market Committee not only backed the 0.50% rise (as was revealed in the post-meeting statement) but “most participants agreed to further increases of the same size.”
May’s 0.50% increase was the first in 20 years and the minutes make it clear that there will be a second and third in coming months.
“Most participants” judged that further hikes of the same magnitude would “likely be appropriate” at the Fed’s policy meetings in June and July, according to the minutes.
“All participants concurred that the U.S. economy was very strong, the labour market was extremely tight, and inflation was very high,” the minutes said, with risks of even faster inflation “skewed to the upside” given ongoing global supply problems, the Ukraine war, and continued coronavirus lockdowns in China.
In that context, “participants agreed that the (Federal Open Market) Committee should expeditiously move the stance of monetary policy toward a neutral posture … They also noted that a restrictive stance of policy may well become appropriate.”
“Many participants” also judged that getting rate hikes now “would leave the Committee well positioned later this year to assess the effects of policy firming.”
That is a dramatic change in policy and language from previous meetings and the acceptance by nervy wall Street traders was significant.
That begs the question, would we ever see the Reserve Bank of Australia heading down the 0.50% route? With our lower inflation rate (5.1% headline and 3.7% core) against 8.3% and 6.2% core in the US, the answer is not now.
But the big rise in electricity prices this week could very well see that change. It is the sort of rise that will seep into the rest of the economy and become embedded in the prices of a wide range of goods and services.
It is the type of price rise that worries the RBA because its the cost of an essential input across all parts of the economy.
That raises the chances of the RBA producing a rise of 0.50% down the track if inflation continues to rise past 6% on a headline basis and core inflation tops 4%.
Next week’s first quarter national accounts and growth data will not change thinking at the central bank – it is all very historical for the moment. But the data may well mark a peak in growth and demand with interest rates set to continue rising.
Like the rest of the world, the Fed is grappling with how best to navigate the US economy towards lower inflation without causing a recession or pushing the unemployment rate substantially higher – a task the minutes said “several participants” at the meeting this month said would prove challenging in the current environment (and don’t forget the continuing damage Covid infections are having).
From the minutes there seems to be a feeling that while inflation may have slowed, it was “too early to be confident that inflation had peaked.” That’s a view that is widely held in other central banks and markets.
The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, is also rising, though not as rapidly, hitting an annual rate of 6.6% in March from a year earlier.
While the Fed and many economists had expected prices to ease as the economy reopened and snarled supply chains returned to more normal operations, that has not happened. Instead, prices have continued to rise, broadening to categories including food, rent and gas.
Price pressures may have weakened but for China’s Covid lockdowns and the war in Ukraine have exacerbated price increases for goods and (especially) food and fuel.
Data released on Tuesday showed new home sales in the US falling 16.6% in April from March, a sign perhaps that more expensive borrowing costs may be cooling the housing market.
Early business activity surveys for May by S&P Global on Tuesday also pointed to slowing activity at service businesses in the United States and elsewhere, and continued supply chain disruptions at global factories.
That could be a response to rising interest rates in the US, Canada, NZ, Australia and Scandinavia. Europe and Japan haven’t lifted rates and China is cutting rates, but the economy continues to slide.
Those early activity reports will be updated next Wednesday and Thursday and will give a clearer picture of the health of various economies as well as the globe. China’s won’t be pretty.
But the Fed minutes also contained a big reminder to markets and others that controlling inflation might be more difficult than simply making monetary policy adjustments and that the central bank (and others) might have to go beyond what might be considered normal policy moves.
The minutes noted that participants “noted that a restrictive stance of policy may well become appropriate depending on the evolving economic outlook and the risks to the outlook,” according to the minutes.
In this context, ‘restrictive’ means (as the RBNZ seems to have admitted this week) that slowing demand to the point (and its really household spending that we are talking about here) where a recession seems possible – ie going beyond a soft landing.
“There are huge events, geopolitical events going on around the world, that are going to play a very important role in the economy in the next year or so,” Fed chair, Jay Powell said last week.
“So the question whether we can execute a soft landing or not, it may actually depend on factors that we don’t control.”
And that’s the scary thing about this episode of inflation. The price pressures may not ease for quite a while because they are beyond the control of central banks and their governments and their monetary and fiscal policy levers. | https://www.finnewsnetwork.com.au/archives/finance_news_network381791.html | 2022-05-30T02:28:20Z | https://www.finnewsnetwork.com.au/archives/finance_news_network381791.html | false | 2 |

From baristas to inspectors: Singapore's robot workforce plugs labor gaps
By Travis Teo
SINGAPORE, May 30 (Reuters) - After struggling to find staff during the pandemic, businesses in Singapore have increasingly turned to deploying robots to help carry out a range of tasks, from surveying construction sites to scanning library bookshelves.
The city-state relies on foreign workers, but their number fell by 235,700 between December 2019 and September 2021, according to the manpower ministry, which notes how COVID-19 curbs have sped up "the pace of technology adoption and automation" by companies.
At a Singapore construction site, a four-legged robot called "Spot," built by U.S. company Boston Dynamics, scans sections of mud and gravel to check on work progress, with data fed back to construction company Gammon's control room.
Gammon's general manager, Michael O'Connell, said using Spot required only one human employee instead of the two previously needed to do the job manually.
"Replacing the need for manpower on-site with autonomous solutions is gaining real traction," said O'Connell, who believes industry labor shortages made worse by the pandemic are here to stay.
Meanwhile, Singapore's National Library has introduced two shelf-reading robots that can scan labels on 100,000 books, or about 30 percent of its collection, per day.
"Staff need not read the call numbers one by one on the shelf, and this reduces the routine and labor-intensive aspects," said Lee Yee Fuang, assistant director at the National Library Board.
Singapore has 605 robots installed per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry, the second-highest number globally, after South Korea's 932, according to a 2021 report by the International Federation of Robotics.
Robots are also being used for customer-facing tasks, with more than 30 metro stations set to have robots making coffee for commuters.
Keith Tan, chief executive of Crown Digital, which created the barista robot, said it was helping solve the "biggest pain-point" in food and beverage - finding staff - while also creating well-paid positions to help automate the sector.
However, some people trying the service still yearned for human interaction.
"We always want to have some kind of human touch," said commuter Ashish Kumar, while sipping on a robot-brewed drink.

Hillsborough sheriff charges man, 18, with threatening ‘the nearest school’
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday arrested an 18-year-old man accused of making an online threat by suggesting he was armed and headed to “the nearest school.”
Corey Anderson was arrested at a residence in Lutz and charged with threatening to “conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism, the Sheriff’s Office said.
After a tip, detectives found that Anderson had posted images of himself with what appeared to be a handgun, a rifle and a tactical-style vest, deputies said. The caption said, “Hey Siri, directions to the nearest school.”
The items appearing to be weapons were later discovered to be airsoft guns, deputies said.
The threat came as the nation continued to mourn the May 24 deaths of 19 students and two teachers at the hands of an 18-year-old gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. President Biden and first lady Jill Biden traveled to the town on Sunday to comfort residents and pay respects at a memorial for the victims.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office described Anderson’s action as a “school-based threat” in a news release Sunday.
“This type of threat is unacceptable. This man intentionally instilled fear into our community as a sick joke, but be warned, this is no laughing matter,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in the release. “Protecting students is our greatest priority. We take school threats very seriously, if you see something suspicious, please contact us immediately.” | https://news.yahoo.com/hillsborough-sheriff-charges-man-18-020300096.html | 2022-05-30T02:48:22Z | https://news.yahoo.com/hillsborough-sheriff-charges-man-18-020300096.html | true | 1 |
(NEXSTAR) – One of the blue-and-white checkered dresses worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz” won’t be going home this weekend.
The dress was slated to sell for up to $1.2 million at Bonhams auction house in Los Angeles on Tuesday, CNN reports. But Monday, a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan halted the sale.
The reason? A fight over who actually owns the dress.
According to court documents, 81 year-old Barbara Anne Hartke says the dress belonged to her late uncle, Father Gilbert Hartke. Barbara claims the dress was given to her uncle, who worked at the Catholic University of America, by actress Mercedes McCambridge in 1973, NBC News reported.
After Father Hartke’s death, the dress got lost in the shuffle and was only rediscovered in a shoebox at the university last year. Barbara Hartke filed a lawsuit after learning the school was planning to auction it off.
Hartke says there’s no evidence her uncle ever “formally or informally” donated the dress to the university and that it belongs to her as his only living heir, NBC reported. Meanwhile, the university’s countersuit reads that Father Hartke had taken a vow “to never accept gifts in his personal capacity,” so it couldn’t be part of his estate.
Barbara Hartke’s attorney told CNN that the university is “not clear exactly what the vow consisted of,” claiming that Father Hartke “always accepted and [had] personal gifts.” Catholic University of America says there’s “overwhelming evidence” refuting Hartke’s ownership.
“Catholic University continues to be committed to its plan to use proceeds from a sale of the dress to endow a faculty position in the Rome School of Music, Drama and Art, which it believes is in line with Mercedes McCambridge’s original intent and Father Gilbert Hartke’s desire to support and grow the University’s drama program,” the school told CNN in a statement.
Bonhams’ auction catalog indicates that the dress was worn by Garland in scenes set at the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Despite the dress drama, the frock likely isn’t the most recognizable — or coveted — item from “The Wizard of Oz.”
Several pairs of the red-sequined heels — widely known as the “Ruby Slippers” — worn by Garland in the film have a storied history of sales and even theft. Smithsonian reports there are at least four surviving pairs of Ruby Slippers, including one that disappeared from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005.
The missing pair was ultimately located and seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during a sting investigation. According to the FBI, the shoes, known as “the traveling pair,” were located after someone with knowledge of their whereabouts approached the company that insured them to discuss how they could be returned.
But the FBI soon discovered this person was “in reality attempting to extort the owners of the slippers.”
As of 2019, another pair is located at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, while the fourth — an early prototype — is last known to be owned by late actress Debbie Reynolds.
Meanwhile, the National Museum of American History’s Preservation Services spent about two years restoring Smithsonian’s own pair, which it acquired in 1979 from an undisclosed donor. As part of this process, conservators had to make repairs or restorations to each and every sequin, bead and thread, a Smithsonian spokesperson said. | https://www.abc4.com/news/national/wizard-of-oz-dress-auction-blocked-by-judge-heres-why/ | 2022-05-30T02:52:38Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/national/wizard-of-oz-dress-auction-blocked-by-judge-heres-why/ | false | 17 |

But bad weather and nightfall caused the search to be suspended until Monday morning, Narayan Silwal, the army spokesman said. “Poor visibility due to bad weather is hindering the efforts. The plane has not yet been located,” he said.
According to plane tracking data from flightradar24.com, the 43-year-old aircraft took off from Pokhara at 9:55 a.m. (04:10 GMT) and transmitted its last signal at 10:07 a.m. (04:22 GMT) at an altitude of 12,825 feet (3,900 meters).
The Tara Air plane was on a 20-minute scheduled flight from the resort town of Pokhara, 200 kilometers (125 miles) east of Kathmandu, to the mountain town of Jomsom. The turboprop Twin Otter aircraft lost contact with the airport tower close to landing in an area of deep river gorges and mountaintops.
There were six foreigners on board the plane, including four Indians and two Germans. The Indians on board have been identified as Vaibhavi Bandekar, Ashok Kumar Tripathy, Dhanush Tripathy and Ritika Tripathy.
According to local police in Thane, Ashok and Vaibhavi were separated but had travelled with their two children to Nepal to visit the Muktidham temple, a Vaishnavite shrine about 18 km away from Jomsom airport where the aircraft was headed.
Apart from the four Indians, the flight was carrying two Germans, 13 Nepalis and three crew members, including the pilot Prabhakar Ghimire, who is said to be one of the most senior instructors in the country with “long experience in flying in mountainous and hilly zones”.

UniLayer Coin Profile
According to CryptoCompare, “UniLayer is a decentralised trading platform built on top of Uniswap that enables key features for professional-level trading with its LAYER utility token, focusing on automated swaps and liquidity management, flash staking, charts and analytics, live order books, and a lot more. The value of LAYER is dependent on the value of ERC20 tokens being staked against. If a low performing ERC20 token decreases in price over time, then the value of LAYER will in turn decrease. LAYER is minted based on a reward percentage of the ERC20 token value initially – a decrease in this initial valuation will have a negative effect on the overall LAYER value. “
Buying and Selling UniLayer
It is usually not currently possible to buy alternative cryptocurrencies such as UniLayer directly using US dollars. Investors seeking to acquire UniLayer should first buy Bitcoin or Ethereum using an exchange that deals in US dollars such as Gemini, Coinbase or GDAX. Investors can then use their newly-acquired Bitcoin or Ethereum to buy UniLayer using one of the aforementioned exchanges.

Volunteering New Zealand says it’s time for volunteers to shine this National Volunteer Week Te Wiki TÅ«ao Ä-Motu 19-25 June. "Volunteers are vital to our communities, and everyone who gives their time to help their neighbour, school, marae or community organisation is a volunteer star," says Michelle Kitney, Chief Executive of Volunteering New Zealand.
This year, National Volunteer Week coincides with the new public holiday for Matariki (24 June), so the chosen theme is Time to Shine - He wÄ pÄ«ataata.
More than one million people across Aotearoa volunteer for an organisation, contributing $4 billion to the economy. Much more happens within communities and informally between people. In fact, about 50% of all adults in New Zealand volunteer, and in some communities, such as Pasifika peoples, it’s as high as 97%.
"During the challenges of the last two years, volunteering has been vital to the wellbeing of people in Aotearoa. Many community organisations have had much greater demand for their services. "Now let’s recognise and celebrate all that volunteers do to connect communities," Michelle says. Volunteering New Zealand is running a social media campaign #timetoshine. "Thank volunteer stars in your community by making a star cut-out and take a photo holding it. Upload your star photo to social media and share using the hashtags #NVW2022 and #timetoshine. "We will be sharing your stars and messages throughout the week so that volunteers can see how valued they are."
Volunteering New Zealand staff L-R Kenzo Bui, Michelle Kitney, Margaret McLachlan and Anna Rendall thank volunteers.
Call to action - shine a light on volunteer stars
Volunteering New Zealand has a few calls to action for this National Volunteer Week:
Show your thanks for volunteer stars in your life. Share a photo using star cut-outs, #timetoshine
Connect with a community or a cause that’s important to you through volunteeringnz.org.nz/finding-volunteer-roles.
And for decision-makers, commit to promote and value volunteering and volunteers.
Explanation of the theme
This year, National Volunteer Week coincides with the new public holiday for Matariki (24 June). Matariki is the time many MÄori and an ever-growing number of Tauiwi in Aotearoa and around the world gather family and friends and reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.
This year’s theme is ‘Time to Shine - He wÄ pÄ«ataata.’ It’s a time to recognise and celebrate volunteers, a time to shine - pÄ«ataata. Let’s take the time to reflect - whaiwhakaaro on all those who give mahi aroha - volunteer for their communities. It’s Matariki, a new year and a fresh start; a time to dream - moemoeÄ and make plans for the future.

SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES) - NutryFarm International said on Sunday (May 29) that it holds its former chief executive officer Cheng Meng personally responsible for two settlement agreements relating to a shortfall in delivery of durians.
The mainboard-listed durian and health foods distributor issued the clarification in relation to an article by The Business Times on the two settlement agreements published on May 27. NutryFarm subsidiary Global Agricapital Thailand (GAT) had entered into two settlement agreements amounting to a total of 33.4 million yuan (S$6.8 milion) in relation to a shortfall of durians delivered.
"The company holds Cheng Meng personally responsible for the settlement agreements, including the compensation and penalty amounts therein, all economic and financial losses suffered and that will be suffered by the company and the group, and any fiduciary and regulatory breaches as a result of his actions," NutryFarm said.
NutryFarm said there were no commitments or requirements on minimum quantity and/or delivery by GAT and there are no compensation clauses in the durian purchase agreements known to the company.
The company added that the settlement agreements and terms, including compensation, were entered into by its former CEO without the knowledge of the company. It said the two settlement agreements were dated Jan 27 and 28 of this year, but were made known to the company only on May 23.
"The company is currently contemplating making reports to the relevant authorities in the relevant countries and taking legal actions against Cheng Meng," it added.
Shares of NutryFarm have been voluntarily suspended since April this year. | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/durian-supplier-nutryfarm-weighing-legal-action-against-ex-ceo | 2022-05-30T02:59:14Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/durian-supplier-nutryfarm-weighing-legal-action-against-ex-ceo | true | 1 |
Tesla has submitted an application to build on a further 100 hectares east of its plant in Germany, expanding the site’s area by a third, local newspaper rbb reported, citing the local mayor. The electric carmaker, which already has 300 hectares of land for its auto factory and battery plant under construction, planned to build a freight station, logistics areas and parking spaces on the additional space, Gruenheide mayor Arne Christiani told RBB.
The proposal will be discussed at a municipality meeting on June 2. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Gruenheide plant, which at full capacity will produce 500,000 electric cars a year, began production in March 2022 after a series of licensing delays which chief executive Elon Musk said ran counter to the urgency needed to tackle climate change.
Local water suppliers warned when Tesla was granted final approval to begin production at the factory that servicing any future expansion to the plant will be impossible without importing water from other regions.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Sunday announced the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award will be introduced in the state for sportspersons.
He said the state government is taking big decisions for the development of sports in the state, and assured the incentive amounts for the medal-winners would continue to increase.
Gehlot was addressing the inauguration and player award ceremony at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday.
This was the first event where Gehlot and Sports Minister Ashok Chandna shared the dias after the latter expressed anguish over the conduct of the chief minister's principal secretary and asked to be relieved from the ministerial post.
Gehlot inaugurated Rajasthan High Performance Sports and Rehabilitation Centre, Renovated Synthetic Hockey Astro Turf and Badminton Indoor Hall, Olympic and also awarded Para Olympic medalists, Asian Games-2022 and Commonwealth Games-2022 players.
The chief minister said the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Olympics will start from August 29, 2022 and more than 27 lakh players of all ages will take part in it.
The event will become a big platform for talent hunt in the state, he said.
He said that the winners in the Rural Olympics would also be given priority in the recruitment of vacant posts in the Panchayat cadre.
He also released the torch of Rural Olympics at the ceremony.
The chief minister said that now the medal winning players will not have to come to the Sports Council for grant money. An online portal has been launched to make the process accessible, he said.
Gehlot said that about 229 players who have excelled in Rajasthan have been given appointments in government services under out-of-turn policy.
Along with this, a provision of two percent reservation has also been made for the players, he said. He said sportsperson pension will be awarded to Arjuna and Dronacharya awardees alongwith Olympic, Para Olympic, Asian and Commonwealth Games medal-winners.

As a direct result of the downward pressure that has been witnessed in the cryptocurrency market, which has resulted in a loss of almost one trillion dollars in market cap since the beginning of the year, the number of Bitcoin addresses that hold one million dollars or more in value has also decreased.
Newsnow.co.uk, reported that data acquired by Finbold indicates that as of May 28, 202, the number of addresses with a BTC balance of more than $1m was 77,936, according to BitInfoCharts.com statistics.
Approximately 5,856 of the addresses had a combined balance of approximately $10m. The remaining 72,080 addresses have a balance of $1m apiece or more.
When employing a web archive tool Wayback Machine, it was determined that the number of addresses BTC with over $1 million worth of Bitcoin are down since pretty much the start of the year by 21.34%, with 99,092 addresses recorded on January 5.
Notably, the number of Bitcoin millionaires has decreased dramatically since the start of January, but if we take the date further back to October 2021, when Bitcoin was around its peak, the drop is more remarkable.

Indeed, on October 28, 2021, when 116,139 addresses were declared Bitcoin millionaires it would indicate a 32.89 per cent fall in seven months.
A combination of factors such as regulatory scrutiny, turbulent markets, geopolitical unrest, and interest hikes continue to have an adverse effect on the asset’s performance.
Nevertheless, some analysts still believe the value of Bitcoin will continue to rise; a senior analyst at Deutsche Bank Research, Marion Laboure, stated:
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is trading at $28,804, down 0.69 per cent in the last 24 hours and 1.68 per cent across the previous week, according to data from CoinMarketCap. | https://punchng.com/bitcoin-made-millionaires-fall-by-20-in-2022-report/ | 2022-05-30T03:33:59Z | https://punchng.com/bitcoin-made-millionaires-fall-by-20-in-2022-report/ | true | 1 |
As temperatures heat up and B.C. residents prepare to spend more time outdoors, they can now turn to an online map to see which areas of the province house a higher number of Lyme-disease carrying ticks.
Launched by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), the map allows users to zoom in on their own community or areas where they intend to visit to better understand their risk should they be bitten.
B.C.’s ticks have one of the lowest Lyme disease rates in Canada at less than one in 100, but the BCCDC says they still pose a real risk.
Left untreated, Lyme disease can cause severe headaches, facial palsy, arthritis, nerve pain and dizziness, among other things.
Across Canada, the rate of Lyme disease has increased significantly over the last decade, from 144 cases in 2009 to 2,851 in 2021, according to public health data. The actual number is believed to be higher as some cases go undetected or unreported.
The BCCDC’s map is a reminder to British Columbians to take precautionary measures and always check for ticks after being outdoors. Caught early, Lyme disease can usually be treated with antibiotics.
The BCCDC says people can reduce their risk of being bitten by walking on cleared paths, applying insect repellent, wearing light coloured clothing so ticks are easily spotted, and tucking that clothing in. After being in a tick-heavy area, people should take a bath or shower to shake off any lightly-attached ones, do a fully body check, and put clothing in the dryer on hot for 10 minutes.
If a tick has already burrowed itself into a person’s skin, they should use tweezers to carefully remove it – not by covering it in grease or burning it, as some believe. Those methods will only increase the chance of infection, the BCCDC says.
READ ALSO: The BCCDC needs your help identifying ticks and limiting Lyme disease
Once the tick is removed, people are encouraged to put it in the freezer and submit a photo to the BCCDC’s eTick app. If the tick is identified as a type known to carry Lyme disease, the person will be asked to keep the tick in their freezer for 30 days and monitor themselves for symptoms of the disease.
This information allows the BCCDC to keep its risk map up-to-date. It can be found at maps.bccdc.ca/Lyme.

Ukraine, which typically supplies much of the world with grain, is currently focused on simply surviving Putin’s barbaric aggression. And, in the midst of an unprecedented and deadly heat wave, India has banned the export of wheat. It’s not simply the supermarket duopoly which is driving up the cost of food. Our global food system is as unstable as our climate system, and things are not likely to settle down any time soon.
We’re faced with the acute problem of rising food costs while we confront the chronic issue of climate breakdown.
Our global industrial food system undermines ecological systems and cannot deliver food equity. Meanwhile, a wide range of social movements are working for change, aware of the need to transition to more equitable, sustainable systems. From conscience movements working for animal rights, Slow Food or waste reduction, to political action challenging corporate power led by organisations and networks such as Greenpeace or La Via Campesina. There are also actions happening at the flax-roots.
On the direct action front, dumpster diving — the practice of ‘‘stealing’’ waste food rather than letting it go to landfill — has helped some students balance their meagre food budget while reducing food waste and therefore reducing methane emissions. Dairy, baked goods, meat and fish are commonly scavenged foodstuffs. One big issue these ‘‘freegans’’ face is storage — where and how to store a flush of perishable goods for future consumption? Freezer space becomes a key component in the underground freegan network. But it also depends on continued access to waste, which is itself unsustainable.
Foraging, the art of gathering wild food, is something I’ve always been keen on as seasonal exploration. There’s the joyful discovery of those hidden bolete mushrooms poking through the leaves, the hat full of walnuts and the wild thyme of Central Otago. Christchurch foragers have access to the uninhabited red zone where nature rules. Thousands of fruit and nut trees remain, untended but productive and accessible.
At our recent neighbourhood apple-pressing session, at least half the apples pressed came from foraging expeditions — that sweet juice now fermented into the distinctively dry Waitete cider. And each year whanau engage in the titi harvest on Stewart Island/Rakiura, maintaining tikanga and traditional food ways.
These small direct actions may be the seed for something much bigger.
Imagine if instead of responding to crises as they occur, we were able to plan and prepare. What could happen, for example, if the agri-food corporations who dominate our global food system become more entangled in global geopolitics: the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an outbreak of civil war in the United States, another pandemic, collapse of markets in the global South, and began retracting?
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba’s lifeline to fuel, fertiliser and food was cut and Cuba had to make a rapid transition from a highly mechanised, industrial farming system to one embracing organic, community and urban-based food provisioning. It could happen here as international markets collapse, and access to fuel, seed and fertiliser becomes problematic.
Many communities and groups are taking things into their own hands. The regenerative agriculture movement in Aotearoa is growing through peer-to-peer farmer networks rather than through mainstream productionist agricultural science, boosting biodiversity and supporting a gentler way of farming.
Urban agriculture ventures such as the OMG Organic Market Garden in Auckland are demonstrating that community supported agriculture is suited to the city and can provide healthy organic food direct to consumers without the predatory retail tariff.
Here in Otepoti Dunedin community gardens, such as North East Valley Community Garden and Puketeraki runaka’s community garden/orchard are providing places where residents can learn and share knowledge, while growing good food and relationships.
It’s tempting to think this is all new. But Maori have been working communal gardens, hunting, fishing and foraging kai in Aotearoa since well before the fossil fuel era. Broadcaster and Minister ‘‘Uncle Scrim’’ in the 1930s used his platform to encourage home gardening to supplement meagre food supplies. When, as a young man in the 1990s, I returned to the family farm and suggested my father practise organic gardening, he looked at me and asked what I meant. I earnestly described all I’d learnt living in rural France, and he said, ‘‘oh, they’re calling ‘gardening’ ‘organic gardening’ now ... ’’. There are a wealth of sane food traditions that we can draw on.
Regenerative agriculture, allotments, community gardens, community supported agriculture, home gardens, foraging and recognition of mahinga kai are all ways we can actively construct a lifeboat to manage the climate storms ahead. Freedom from the global industrial food system is deeply rewarding, good old common sense and simply nutritious!

Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala had recently sung a song which stressed “he would die at a young age”. In the track titled ‘The last ride’, which was written by Moosewala himself, the singer wrote his funeral procession would be taken out at a young age.
The lyrics are “Chobbar de chehre utte noor dassda ni ehda uthuga jawani ch janaja mithiye”. Minutes after his death, the song ‘The Last Ride’ is being widely shared by his followers on social media expressing deep shock over his death.
In another track titled ‘Everybody hurts’ in his latest Album ‘No name’, the lyrics revolved around feeling lonely and suicidal thoughts. In the last stanza of the same song, he sings: “Lagda jazbatan da collide ho gaya ae…. Menu maaf kari zindagi suicide ho gaya ae.”

Jakarta, May 29
A young Indian team fought back brilliantly from a two-goal deficit to take a 3-2 lead against Malaysia before being held to a 3-3 draw in the Super 4 stage of the men’s Asia Cup hockey tournament here today. India came tantalisingly close to booking a final berth, leading 3-2 until the 56th minute, but Razie Rahim scored his third goal to complete a hat-trick and deny India.
Rahim converted three penalty corners for Malaysia, in the 12th, 21st and 56th minutes, and India fought back valiantly through goals by Vishnukant Singh (32nd), SV Sunil (53rd) and Nilam Sanjeep Xess (55th).
India had defeated Japan 2-1 in their first Super 4 stage match on Saturday and a win today would have earned them a ticket to the final. India will play South Korea in their third and final Super 4 match on Tuesday.
In another Super 4 match today, South Korea defeated Japan 3-1 to move to four points, the same as India. South Korea had drawn 2-2 against Malaysia in their first match. South Korea are on top of the Super 4 table due to a better goal difference (+2 than India (+1).

Deoband (UP): Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind chief Maulana Mahmood Madani Sunday said those who ask Muslims to leave the country should leave themselves. According to a statement issued by the organisation, Madani objected to the plans of some states to implement the Uniform Civil Code. "People of the community need not fear this," he said, asking Muslims to remain faithful to the religion and show firmness.
The former Rajya Sabha member was addressing the annual two-day session of the Jamiat's management committee. He urged people to take along those who care for nation-building. "We have to defeat the merchants of hate with wisdom, courage and a long-term strategy," he said. "We will not leave this country, those who want to send us out should themselves leave."
According to the statement, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind's Assam unit president and Lok Sabha member Maulana Badruddin Ajmal criticised the government over various issues and said the "silence of Muslims should not be taken as weakness".
The organisation also passed resolutions on the Gyanvapi Masjid case of Varanasi, the Shahi Idgah mosque dispute of Mathura and Uniform Civil Code, urging all Muslims to shun fear and despair, and work for the betterment of their future.
In the resolution on the Gyanvapi Masjid and Mathura Idgah cases, the organisation expressed its "deep anguish at the attitude of the political parties who support the forces disturbing the peace and tranquillity of the country by repeatedly raising disputes over ancient shrines", the statement said.
"The country will not benefit from running campaigns to keep old controversies alive and in the name correcting the alleged excesses and mistakes of history." "At present, such campaigns are going on against the Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi, and the historic Idgah of Mathura and other mosques, which have damaged the peace, dignity and integrity of the country," the resolution said.
It alleged, "By raising these controversies, opportunities are being created for communal clashes and negative politics of majority domination."
The resolution also referred to the Place of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 and the Supreme Court's decision on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.
On Uniform Civil Code, it said, "Any change in (personal laws) or prohibiting anyone from following them is interference in the religion of in Islam and the guarantees given under Article 25 of the Constitution of India."
The resolution said, "This conference wants to make it clear that no Muslim accepts any interference in the Islamic laws and traditions." If the government tries to implement the Uniform Civil Code, it will be opposed within the ambit of the Constitution, the resolution said.
Eleven different resolutions were passed in the convention. About 2,000 members of the organisation and other dignitaries attended the convention. | https://zeenews.india.com/india/silence-of-muslims-should-not-be-taken-as-weakness-jamiat-ulama-e-hind-opposes-ucc-passes-resolution-on-gyanvapi-and-mathura-cases-2468662.html | 2022-05-30T04:13:02Z | https://zeenews.india.com/india/silence-of-muslims-should-not-be-taken-as-weakness-jamiat-ulama-e-hind-opposes-ucc-passes-resolution-on-gyanvapi-and-mathura-cases-2468662.html | false | 8 |
Opinion
If the major parties are Carlton and VB, voters are choosing craft beer
Jim Reed
PollsterFederal election 2022
Full election resultsAs a pollster, I have just witnessed an election unfold quite unlike any other.
A record number of people voted early, major parties’ primary vote shrunk to new lows, preferences fuelled a narrow victory for Labor and inner-city seats boiled over to form a massive crossbench.
The result was certainly a rejection of the Coalition, which shed five percentage points of primary vote and received a minority of preferences. Despite relative success in navigating the pandemic, the government’s longevity, competency and the style of its leader stymied its chance of a second “miracle” win. You don’t have to like someone to vote for them, but it helps.
Without a bold vision or policy platform, Labor’s primary vote dropped a point, too. Having to rely on others’ preferences, values statements and the WA premier is hardly a glowing endorsement. But a win with under a third of the primary vote is still a win.
If anything, this election was a protest against politics and the way it is being conducted by the major parties. This sentiment erupted most visibly in our inner cities, where moderate Liberals were overtaken by immoderate gains by the independents.
Urban, urbane women built impressive primary votes of 26-42 per cent from nothing. Locals voted for them but also got behind them, many campaigning, donating and advocating for their cause. In Brisbane, independents were unavailable and the Greens capitalised on the shift away from major parties.
Regardless of your political views, you cannot deny this has changed politics.
Elections are no longer a zero-sum game. The Coalition’s losses are not now automatically Labor’s gains, and vice versa. Labor is reduced to running dead in many seats, and the Coalition will now find it harder to win elections from the centre, nurture future leaders and find donations.
The lesson of this election is simple. Not all politics is local, but it needs to become more local, more tailored.
A candidate cannot represent the views or reflect the diversity of an entire electorate, just as a leader or party cannot represent the entire country, but they can represent what the majority of locals want rather than toeing the party line.
This is about local representative democracy. This is why the teal independents succeeded against the Coalition using Labor-aligned policies in places Labor has only fantasised about winning.
The major parties will be pondering how best to respond. Lifting their game will not be enough. They need to change how they play the game.
If Liberal and Labor don’t recognise this they will become the VB and Tooheys of this world. The beer hasn’t changed, but the customer has. They will still sell lots of beer, but they’ll enjoy dwindling appeal as locally crafted, targeted and cleverly marketed ales chip away at their market share.
The only political solution is for the major parties to treat local candidates more like franchisees than employees. They may use your brand and agree with your governing ethos, but will apply their own nuances to the offering, and should control their territory and how it operates. This brand extension is a potent combination.
There is also an electoral solution that goes to the root cause of all this.
To understand the election result, you must first understand how people use their votes. Primary votes – the box you number “1” – represent who you want to win, whereas preferences are about who you want to lose. I may vote for a Greens MP because I would like them to win, for example, and put the Liberals and One Nation last because I would prefer them not to.
Our preference voting rewards major parties with more preferences when they take centrist positions and punishes them for taking risks with bold policy and vision.
Denied that differentiation, the major parties are reduced to making the other guy appear less electable. Negative preference votes beget negative, personal campaigns. Destroying Morrison was enough for Labor, just as taking down Gillard was enough for Abbott. Voters despise it, but it works.
The alternative to preference voting is a “first past the post” system where you simply vote “1” and nothing more. One person, one vote. Fair, simple and as elegant a solution as democracy itself.
It ensures you are using your vote carefully and positively to elect someone or something you actually want. The parties must rise to the occasion because they cannot win votes by default. It works elsewhere and our polling says that most Australians support it. This would truly take politics back to its roots.

Practical gifts your dad wants for Father’s Day
In 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd listened to a sermon on Mother’s Day that caused her to reflect on her own upbringing. Sonora’s father was a Civil War veteran who raised her and her five siblings after their mother died in childbirth. She presented her ideas to local religious leaders, and with their support, the first Father’s Day was held on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. It took until 1972 for Father’s Day to officially become a national holiday.
The purpose of Father’s Day is to honor the father figures in your life. This is traditionally done by spending time with those people who had a positive influence on your life and giving them a gift, such as a tie rack or power tools. But sometimes dads can be hard to buy for. This list has 21 simple yet practical gift ideas they will love.

It's a Big Brother wedding! Former stars of the reality show, Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett, have tied the knot in Savannah, Georgia.
Christmas and Memphis met in 2020 while they were cast on the CBS reality show’s “All-Stars” season. Though the fan favorites were not dating during the show's run, they confirmed their relationship months after the Big Brother finale.
The reality stars said "I do" at the Georgia State Railroad Museum on Saturday. A beautiful sign that read "Welcome to our wedding" and featured Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett's names in cursive confirmed the couple's nuptials.
Posting a montage-style video that highlighted the beginnings of their relationship on Big Brother, Christmas wrote, "The world watched us meet, become best friends, fall in love and now be married!!!!! Forever has begun!"
Christmas and Memphis got engaged in June 2021 at the Little Palm Island Resort and Spa in Florida. Memphis got down on one knee on the beach, and Christmas happily accepted the romantic proposal.
Starting a blended family, Memphis shares a 7-year-old son, River. with his ex-wife, Ashley Zuppas, while Christmas has a 3-year-old son, Loyal, with her ex, Benjamin Bunn.

GBP/USD inches above 1.2650 as DXY tumbles on positive market mood
The GBP/USD pair is advancing sharply higher in the Asian session as investors have underpinned the risk-on market impulse, which has diminished the safe-haven appeal. The pound bulls have pushed the asset above 1.2650. The asset is hovering around the previous week’s high at 1.2667 and a decisive move beyond the same will unleash the sterling bulls to an upside of 1.2700.
GBP/USD Weekly Forecast: The pound has room to rise in the NFP week
The US dollar’s retracement from two-decade highs alongside a positive shift in risk sentiment emerged as the key catalysts that helped GBP/USD extend its recovery rally. Dip-buying remains the underlying theme for cable traders, as they head into a holiday-shortened US Nonfarm Payrolls week.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jim Pasco, the executive director for the Fraternal Order of Police, was watching football on a Sunday afternoon when he got a call from Susan Rice, the top domestic policy adviser at the White House.
Negotiations over an executive order to address racism and policing were in danger of breaking down after a draft was leaked that law enforcement groups believed was too harsh toward officers. Now Rice was looking to get things back on track.
“She said they wanted to start over,” Pasco said as he looked back on that day earlier this year. “And they wanted to deal with us in total confidence.”
He agreed. The result was the executive order that President Joe Biden signed last week during a ceremony that, improbably, brought together law enforcement leaders, civil rights activists and families of people who had been killed by police.
“This is a moment where we have come together for something that is not perfect, but it's very good," Rice said. "And it moves the needle substantially.”
No one who believes that American policing needs to be overhauled — including the president himself — thinks the final order goes far enough. It does not directly affect local departments, which have the most interactions with citizens, nor does it necessarily represent permanent change. The next administration could swiftly undo it.
However, many civil rights advocates consider it an important step forward, and maybe even a building block toward more expansive legislation that has so far been elusive.
“We have to keep the dialogue going,” said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League. "And I think this helps create the sense that we can talk, and if we do talk, we’ll find some common ground.”
A NEW STRATEGY
Biden's original hope was for Congress to pass bipartisan legislation named for George Floyd, the Black man who was murdered by Minneapolis police during an arrest in 2020.
However, the first anniversary of Floyd's death passed last year without a deal, and negotiations eventually broke down. White House officials began focusing on a potential executive order.
Previous presidents, too, have attempted to make improvements to America's law enforcement system, but Biden faced particular pressure to find the right balance.
During his campaign, Biden met with Floyd’s family and pledged to make racial justice a core part of his administration.
He also had longstanding relationships with police and their unions. And he didn't want to be at odds with law enforcement when crime was a growing concern for the country, not to mention an issue ahead of this year's midterm elections.
After preliminary meetings, a draft of the order took shape, and it was circulated among various federal agencies. Then a leaked copy was posted online by the Federalist, a conservative website, in January.
“Everyone went ballistic,” Pasco said. Not only did law enforcement groups dislike various parts of the draft, they felt like the administration hadn't adequately listened to their perspective.
Rice worked the phones to calm nerves, opening a new chapter in the negotiations.
In addition to Rice’s team, Justice Department officials and the White House counsel’s office under Dana Remus worked through the details. Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., were involved as well.
Senior administration officials described a sort of shuttle diplomacy, and they met separately with civil rights advocates and law enforcement groups while trying to keep everyone on the same page. Long days were fueled by Hershey's Kisses, M&Ms and whatever else that could be scrounged from White House desks.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, an independent policy organization, said that in Washington, “people give you lip service." But in this case, “we had hours of discussions, very substantive discussions, about some of the issues in there.”
REACHING A DEAL
One sensitive part of the leaked draft didn't change. The final version still says the country should “acknowledge the legacy of systemic racism in our criminal justice system and work together to eliminate the racial disparities that endure to this day.”
Ebonie Riley, a senior vice president at the National Action Network, a civil rights organization led by Rev. Al Sharpton, said it was important to leave that in.
“If we continue to hide in the shadows conversations that we need to have out loud, that becomes part of the problem," she said.
To balance the tone, more language was added about “rising rates of violent crime” and how “reinforcing the partnership between law enforcement and communities is imperative for combating crime and achieving lasting public safety.”
A phrase about how deadly force should only be used as “a last resort when there is no reasonable alternative” was cut. However, the executive order requires federal law enforcement officers to prioritize de-escalation and then intervention if they see another officer using excessive force.
A significant portion of the order is dedicated to collecting information, such as creating a database to track misconduct by federal officers and expanding tools for analyzing the use of force.
“When we talk about what a fair criminal justice system looks like, a big part of that is understanding what the data is," said Danielle Conley, the White House deputy counsel.
As an executive order, the new policies are limited to federal agencies. But administration officials plan to attach strings to federal funding to persuade local police departments to adopt similar rules.
“Simply having these words on paper is not going to save lives,” said Udi Ofer, deputy national political director at the American Civil Liberties Union.
On May 15, Biden attended an annual memorial for officers killed in the line of duty. After Biden posed for photos with people at the memorial, Pasco stuck around for a private conversation.
There wasn’t much time left until the second anniversary of Floyd’s death, May 25, and no one at the White House wanted the day to pass without an agreement.
“We gave everything we had to give," Pasco recalled telling Biden. "And your staff made a lot of concessions, too. So as long as it remains the way it is, we’re good with it.”
Pasco said Biden responded, “I’m going to take a look at it, and if I see any problems, I’ll let you know about it.”
But there weren’t any, and the deal was done.
THE CEREMONY
Officials began inviting key players to the signing ceremony just a few days before, and some were only notified the previous day. A process that had nearly been unraveled by a leak reached the finish line without disruption.
In addition to Floyd's family, the audience included relatives of other Black people — Michael Brown, Elijah McClain, Amir Locke, Atatiana Jefferson and Breonna Taylor — who had been killed by law enforcement over the years.
Not everyone was mollified. The Movement for Black Lives issued a statement calling Biden's executive order “a poor excuse for the transformation of public safety that he promised." But Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, argued that the order represented progress.
“If we refuse to sit at the table, or allow for the political climate to overshadow public policy opportunities, we all suffer as a result," he said.
In his speech, Biden said Congress still needed to pass legislation, but he described the executive order as "the most significant police reform in decades."
“Let me say there are those who seek to drive a wedge between law enforcement and the people they serve, those who peddle the fiction that public trust and public safety are in opposition to one another," Biden said.
He added, "We know that’s not true."
When Biden finished, Floyd's 8-year-old daughter, Gianna, approached. “You're getting so big,” Biden told her.
She sat down at the desk where the president had signed the order. Vice President Kamala Harris handed her the pen that Biden had used.
“You know what she told me when I saw her when she was a little girl two years ago?” Biden said. “Seriously, she pulled me aside and she said, ‘My daddy is going to change the world.’” | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/How-Biden-cops-and-advocates-forged-deal-on-17207275.php | 2022-05-30T04:31:03Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/How-Biden-cops-and-advocates-forged-deal-on-17207275.php | false | 23 |
New South Wales rolls out free flu vaccines for June as state prepares for 'potentially deadly' outbreak of Influenza A
The NSW Government has announced all residents will be able to receive a free flu vaccine for the month of June as Influenza A cases skyrocket across the state.
New South Wales residents will be able to receive the flu jab for free as the state prepares for a "potentially deadly" outbreak of Influenza A.

The month-long blitz is in an effort to combat this year's expected severe influenza season.
A free flu jab will be available to all NSW residents in a month-long blitz from June 1 in an effort to combat this yearâs expected severe influenza season.
— NSW Health (@NSWHealth) May 29, 2022
The NSW Government will fund flu vaccinations at GPs and pharmacies until June 30.
More info: https://t.co/LJ08Ihe0a1 pic.twitter.com/lrQd4fDObW
Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said case numbers are rising quickly - with 1,140 infections recorded over the past week, up from 766.
So far this year, 150 people have been hospitalised in New South Wales with the flu.
“The virus is easily spread and potentially deadly," she said.
Residents aged six months and older can present to their local GP to roll up their sleeves for the jab.
Those aged five years and over can attend their local pharmacy for the vaccine.
"This is particularly important for those in high-risk groups, such as the elderly and children aged six months to five years,” Dr Chant said.
“If you live in an aged or disability care facility, are aged over 65 or are immunocompromised, now is the time to book in.”
"We also recommend a COVID-19 winter booster if you are eligible, as both flu and COVID-19 vaccines can be given at the same time."
The Commonwealth Government provides vaccines for vulnerable populations, and funds GPs through the MBS to administer vaccines.

The National Memorial Day Concert is an annual program broadcast live from the west lawn of the US Capitol commemorating the Memorial Day holiday. In tribute to the over 58,000 American lives lost in the Vietnam War and the more than 3 million Americans who served in Southeast Asia during the brutal conflict, this year’s concert will share the story of combat medic Francis Whitebird, a young warrior from a Lakota family with generations of military service. Whitebird’s uncle fought in World War I, his father was a Lakota Code Talker during World War II, and both his sons served in the Iraq War. During two tours in Vietnam, Whitebird endured combat losses and saved lives, received a Purple heart himself, and forged bonds of friendship that have lasted a lifetime. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2614274869480/doctors-offer-resources-amid-nationwide-formula-shortage-may-24 | 2022-05-30T04:52:49Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2614274869480/doctors-offer-resources-amid-nationwide-formula-shortage-may-24 | true | null |
Quadintel published a new report on the Global GPON Market. The research report consists of thorough information about demand, growth, opportunities, challenges, and restraints. In addition, it delivers an in-depth analysis of the structure and possibility of global and regional industries.

The rising internet penetration and rising telecom industry have led to the adoption of GPON across the forecast period. For Instance: as per the IBEF, The total wireless or mobile telephone subscriber base reached 1166.02 million in September 2021, from 1,148.58 million in September 2020. The total number of internet subscribers reached 794.88 million in September 2021. Of this subscriber base, the number of wired internet subscribers was 24.29 million and that of wireless internet subscribers was 787.94 million. Also, with the trial and deployment of 5g networks, the adoption & demand for GPON is likely to increase the market growth during the forecast period. However, availability of substitute technologies impedes the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2022-2028.
The key regions considered for the Global GPON Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. North America is the leading region across the world in terms of market share owing to the technology adoption and investment in research and development activities. Whereas, Asia-Pacific is also anticipated to exhibit the highest growth rate over the forecast period 2022-2028. Factors such as government spending on infrastructure, and widespread deployment of next-generation GPON networks would create lucrative growth prospects for the GPON Market across Asia-Pacific region.

As the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial broke for jury deliberation, Depp fans were in for a pleasant surprise. The Pirates of the Caribbean star made a surprise appearance at a Jeff Buck show in Sheffield on Sunday night, as per The Mirror. Buck is currently on his European tour. Him and Depp had sung a cover of John Lennon’s ‘Isolation’ back in 2020 and last night, that was the song to which Depp rocked out. Depp and Heard’s defamation trial has seen much social media fervour in support of Depp, and after last night’s surprise performance, his legions of fans couldn’t rein in their emotions.
Recently, a video shared online showed Depp leaving the court while his fans waited to see him. Amid the cheers, one of the fans was heard saying, “You’ll always be our Captain Jack Sparrow." To this, Depp replied in the iconic voice of his famous character, “He’s still around somewhere. I see him now and again." The actor further adds “He shows up now and again," with a smile.
While in his car, Depp waved to his fans as one shouted, “We love you Johnny". Another person was heard saying “We love your hair", to which the actor jokingly pointed at his scalp.

Plant-based milk is skyrocketing in popularity at Mid North Coast cafes but dairy farms believe there will always be a place for full cream.
Kate Caters, which is based in Port Macquarie, has had to broaden its options for alternative milks, due to customer demand.

After starting with just soy, they've now got macadamia, oat and rice.
Owner Kate Mitchell said they chose to stock macadamias instead of almond milk to support Australian farms.
Oat and macadamia milks are proving to be equal in popularity when it comes to what customers want added to their beverage of choice.
"It's probably getting up to about half of the volume of regular milk purchases," Kate said.
"Which is huge."
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the amount of dairy and meat substitutes purchased from Australian supermarkets and other food retailers jumped another 14 per cent in 2020-21, following a 14 per cent increase between 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Kate hopes there will always be a place for full cream.
"Farmers need our support especially at the moment," she said.
"Norco took a huge hit with the floods."
The cafe stocks Norco milks to support local dairy farmers on the Mid North Coast.
Mid North Coast dairy farmer Emily Neilson is based at Johns River, south of Port Macquarie, where she lives with her husband Matt and sons Joseph and Henry.
Emily said it's hard to predict what value people might put on dairy in the future, but hopes they appreciate the quality of local milk.
"Cow's milk is still the only form of milk which is completely natural, it doesn't have any additives and nothing is changed in it to make it a whole food," she said.
"All the alternatives have to have nutrients added.. to make them a nutrient-rich product."
Emily labelled the popularity of alternative milks as a "craze".
"People always go after the new thing," she said.

"If you look into them, they aren't that super."
Emily said the production of alternative milks, such as almond which requires a lot of filtered water, isn't very economical.
Chris Eggert from Oxhill Organics, which is located at Redbank near Wauchope, echoed Emily's views and said plant-based milk farming does not benefit the environment.
He gave the example of soy beans, which are likely genetically modified from the US.
"They have to clear a lot of land to grow the soy beans and they use a lot of chemicals," he said.

Chris said it's damaging to the soil as they have to cultivate the ground in the farming process.
"Don't think that because it's a plant-based product that it's a wonderful thing for the environment," he said.
On the Eggerts' organic dairy farm the cows eat from the pastures, fertilise the soil and the grass regenerates itself.
Chris said it's important to care for the microbes in the soil, to benefit the river systems and air quality.
Benmar Farm is located at Hannam Vale, south of Port Macquarie, and produces sustainable milk from humanely-raised cows.

It's run by Karyn Cassar and Carissa Wolfe who say it's great cafes are catering for wider range of preferences.
However, they would love to see more include the option of certified organic cows milk for people who choose on ethical and climate impact considerations.
"The beauty of having access to Norco Organic milk in our area is knowing exactly which farms contributed, how they farm and their impact, as well as total food-miles farm to shelf - not something that can be said for alternative milks," they said.
Peak Coffee Australia owner and director of Cafe Culture International, Sean Edwards attributes the rise of popularity of plant-based milks to lifestyle.
He credited Instagram Influencers and diet culture movements with having a huge effect on how people view plant-based milks.
Sean has worked for majority of the plant-based milk businesses globally and said 30 per cent of all cafe drinks are now plant-based.

However, he believes there's always going to be a place for dairy.
"Dairy hasn't lost volume, it's just lost market share," he said.
Sean said almond milk is still the most popular choice for cafe customers but demand for oat milk has increased exponentially.
"It's gone from 2 per cent in market a year ago to now 30 per cent," he said.
He said the reason for the increase is because it's similar in taste and texture to dairy.

The number of patients in Staffordshire waiting more than a year for elective treatment has increased to more than 8,000 – although the number waiting two years is now falling. There were 8,117 people waiting in excess of 52 weeks between referral and treatment in March, up from 7,752 in February, according to the latest data from the county's clinical commissioning groups. But the number of patients waiting in excess of 104 weeks fell from 788 to 639.
Waiting times shot up during the pandemic due to elective treatments being postponed during Covid surges. The NHS in Staffordshire declared a critical incident in January, leading to cancelled operations at the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
A meeting of the CCGs' governing bodies was told that bringing down waiting times was the priority, with a target of completely eliminating two-year waits by the end of June. Accountable officer Marcus Warnes said things were moving in the right direction in terms of 104-week waits, but the situation remained challenging.

He said: "It's an improving position but we've got a long way to go. If you look at when we came into the pandemic, something I was really proud of was the fact that we had no patients anywhere on a waiting list for more than a year, let alone two years.
"The fact that we had hundreds of patients waiting more than two years was not a place where any of us wanted to be. All of our providers are making significant strides in terms of reducing the number of two year waits, and that will be zero by the end of June, that's the target we're committed to delivering.
"We've done a lot of work in terms of reducing the number of 52-week waits, and that is going to take some time to work through. New patients are coming on waiting lists, and some of that will be unmet demand that's built during the pandemic that now needs to be seen, plus those patients already on the waiting list.
"It will be a delicate balancing act for all of our providers in terms of meeting the demand that's coming through the door, as well as reducing the number of long waiters."
NHS officials will give members of Staffordshire County Council's health and care committee an update on elective recovery at their meeting today. The report from Helen Ashley, director of strategy at University Hospitals of North Midlands, says that as of May 15, the trust has 4,579 patients waiting more than a year for treatment, and 255 waiting more than two years.
Providers have submitted plans for eliminating 104-week waits by the end of June, but Ms Ashley says that UHNM has flagged a 'significant risk' of not achieving this target on time, with complexity of surgery and patient choice being key factors in trusts' ability to treat patients. A number of measures are being implemented to reduce long waits, including use of private sector capacity.

A look at some of the key business events and economic indicators upcoming this week:
NOT SO CONFIDENT?
The Conference Board delivers its latest monthly index of U.S. consumer confidence Tuesday.
Consumer confidence was little changed in April, slipping to 107.3 from 107.6 the previous month. A reading of 90 or better reflects a healthy economy. Economists expect the index, which measures consumers’ assessment of current conditions and their outlook for the future, fell in May to 103.0. Inflation soared over the past year at its fastest pace in decades, with costs for food, gasoline and housing squeezing American consumers.
Consumer confidence, by month:
Dec. 115.2
Jan. 111.1
Feb. 105.7
March 107.6
April 107.3
May (est.) 103.0

CHEW ON THIS
Wall Street expects another solid quarterly report card from Hormel Foods.
Analysts predict the maker of Spam canned ham, Dinty Moore stew and other foods will report that its earnings and revenue increased in the February-April quarter versus the same period last year. Hormel has benefited from strong growth in wholesale and retail demand for its packaged food brands. Hormel Foods serves up its fiscal second-quarter results Thursday.
JOB MARKET TRACKER
The Labor Department issues its monthly tally of hiring by nonfarm employers Friday.
Economists predict employers added 310,000 jobs in May. That would be down from the 428,000 jobs added in April, which helped hold the unemployment rate at nearly a 50-year low. The economy’s hiring gains have been strikingly consistent in the face of the worst inflation in four decades. Employers have added at least 400,000 jobs for 12 straight months.
Nonfarm payrolls, monthly change, seasonally adjusted:
Dec. 588,000
Jan. 504,000
Feb. 714,000
March 428,000
April 428,000
May (est.) 310,000

Which orthotic slippers are best?
If you often have pain in your foot, knee or back, wearing a pair of soft and comfortable slippers may help relieve or significantly reduce the pain.
However, it can be difficult choosing the right pair to meet your needs from the scores of slippers options on the market. One effective approach is to look for one that combines comfort with stability, like landeer Memory Foam Slippers.
What to know before you buy orthotic slippers
Comfort
It’s easy to know if your orthotic slippers are comfortable. They are usually soft, fuzzy and easy to put on or take off. Some slippers are embedded with a thin layer of cotton to keep your toes feeling cool and comfy while others combine a soft footbed with cushioned insoles to maximize comfort. When choosing a comfortable pair of slippers, you also need to check how your feet look in them. If your toes or heel are hanging over the edge when wearing your slippers, it is likely that they will cause pain or discomfort.
Arch support
Some slipper styles mold to the shape of your foot and include built-in arch support to cradle your arch and give optimal support. These options also have soft, insulating and cozy uppers that allow you to easily slip into the footwear without worrying about the width and height of your feet. Some options also include arch supports designed to improve your foot and leg alignment, which can help to prevent pain and discomfort.
Shock absorption
While some slippers do little to help your feet absorb shock when you walk, there are options that make you feel like you have a mini mattress under your feet, thanks to their excellent cushioning. Some slippers are crafted with foam that provides responsive cushioning, while others feature multi-density cushioned insoles to optimize their shock-absorbing function.
What to look for in quality orthotic slippers
Style
Style might just be the difference between wearing your shoes at home while in your pajamas to wearing them outside. From open-toe design, criss-cross styles to round toe options, slippers come in different designs and some options are so cute that you can get away with wearing them outside. Some brands also offer a wide range of colors from purple, blue and pink to classic neutrals like grey and brown.
Slip-resistance
Choosing a pair of slippers with grippy soles can prevent you from falling while wearing them, but if you select an option with a suede or soft sole, you may not get a reliable grip when walking on wet or slippery surfaces. A rubber sole is another important feature that contributes to the slip-resistant function of any footwear. This type of sole is designed to give your feet a better grip and traction when walking or standing on virtually all types of surfaces.
Versatility
If you want to move from wearing your slippers indoors to wearing them to take a walk or run to the grocery store, you should look out for versatile options that provide this flexibility. For instance, slippers with durable soles or protective clog-shaped slip-ons are great outdoor options.
How much you can expect to spend on orthotic slippers
The cost of orthotic slippers usually ranges between $20-$100, with the more expensive options offering more when it comes to cushioning and design.
Orthotic slippers FAQ
How long should my orthotic slippers last?
A. Depending on your walking habits and frequency of use, your orthotic slippers should last anywhere from several months to a few years. If you have to replace your slippers after a few weeks or months because they are wearing out quickly, chances are the quality of those slippers isn’t great.
Can I wear orthotic slippers outdoors?
A. It depends. Some versatile options with durable weather-resistant outsoles can be worn outside. In fact, some soles are designed with the same rubber outsoles as street shoes. On the other hand, if your slippers are made with soft materials, it is likely they will easily wear out if you start wearing them outdoors.

One of the striking things about Marguerite Brodie is her posture.
At 78, she carries herself with admirable strength and grace, and it’s the result of decades of dancing and tennis, combined with Rolfing (a holistic method of manipulating the body’s fascia, or connective tissue ) and Dharma practice (applying Buddha’s teachings in her daily life).
From her home in Kuala Lumpur, the grandmother of six reflects on how these elements came to gradually shape her life after tragedy struck in 1984.
The daughter of Eurasian parents with Chinese Hakka and British-Scottish roots, Brodie grew up on the island of Penang in Malaysia. She met her Malaysian Chinese husband in Kuala Lumpur in 1966 and they had five children together. When the youngest was a newborn, Brodie’s husband was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
As a devotee of Indian spiritual leader guru Sai Baba, he wanted to avoid an operation or any type of conventional medical treatment.
“But I was a young mother, afraid of losing him and I felt the intense pressure from his family, so he did end up getting an operation in the UK, where surgeons removed his spleen, a kidney and part of his pancreas,” says Brodie.
Chemotherapy with excruciating side effects followed, and after fighting it for four years, he died at the age of 45. Her husband’s death has marked her in many ways and she lives with the regret of not honouring his wish to avoid treatment.
“He taught me that if you think something is important, do it that way and don’t waste time changing other people’s opinions,” she says.
Brodie, then a widow with five children between the ages of four and 15, had to put almost everything but motherhood aside for years. When her youngest was 12, Brodie began to follow her passions again.
“I have always loved dancing,” she says. “By the time I was able to dedicate time to myself again, I got into folk dancing, signed up for Latin ballroom dance school and went out on Fridays to dance.”
Brodie’s new-found freedom coincided with the arrival of salsa in Malaysia and it became her new thing. In 2001, she took first place at the Ritmo Latino Kuala Lumpur salsa school championship.
However, despite dancing every week, Brodie realised that she was not as flexible as one might expect and there were certain things she was unable to do.
“For example, I was not able to stand up straight and lift my leg up like a ballet dancer,” she says. An unconventional therapy would change this – on a visit to Los Angeles in 2000, Brodie was introduced to Rolfing , a technique developed by German doctor Ida Rolf in the 1940s.
Also known as structural integration, Rolfing is based on the idea that the human body’s “energy field” benefits when it is aligned with the Earth’s gravitational field.
“Gravity is what keeps us on the Earth and it is what shapes our body,” says Brodie.
In Rolfing, practitioners stretch and manipulate the body’s network of connective tissues called fascia. After her experience of Rolfing, Brodie went to study structural integration in the US state of Hawaii, and graduated from the Guild for Structural Integration in the state of Colorado in 2004.
She now offers Rolfing sessions at her private practice in her Kuala Lumpur home. Her Rolfing room is down the corridor from her Dharma room – the place where everything comes together.
Brodie became a Buddhist after her daughter and son-in-law invited her to a retreat in Penang, Malaysia. There, they met Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche, a new-generation Tibetan Buddhist master.
“I saw the retreat as a way to spend time at a nice hotel by the sea with my daughter and granddaughter – but I had no intention to dig deeper into Buddhism,” says Brodie. But on the fourth day of the retreat, when asked if she would like to “take refuge” with the master – to carry out a religious practice – she said yes.
She lined up with his devotees and, when she reached the altar where the master was sitting, he took her hand and ritually cut a lock of her hair. It was at that moment that something happened to her.
“I realised that I was intrigued by this new world. Since I had the chance to try something new at an old age, I might as well do it properly,” she says.
In many ways, Brodie’s life today revolves around her Dharma practice. She retreats to her dedicated room for roughly two hours every day, and it has been a necessary part of her daily routine for the past three years.
She starts off by paying homage to her teachers, then reads texts in the Tibetan language, meditates and sets her intention – be that for the day or for life.
“Dharma was the missing link in my life. The most important thing it has taught me is patience and the reassurance that everything will happen at the right time,” she says. She recalls how, while everyone was falling to pieces during the pandemic, she was thriving despite living alone and not being able to see her family.
“The beauty of Dharma practice is that you are not distracted by things happening in the outside world – particularly negative things,” she says.
Brodie grew up in a Christian home – her mother sent her and her five siblings to Sunday school and the family always attended church services. “But I never felt religious and quite frankly, the only thing I looked forward to at church was seeing the boys,” she jokes.
She dislikes religions that dictate how one should live one’s life and loves the freedom that Buddhism offers.
“In the beginning, I was worried that I would have to compromise on the sensual pleasures in life such as going out, dancing and enjoying a nice glass of wine – but I learned that in Buddhism, only you are the judge of what is suitable and appropriate for yourself,” she says.
With most pandemic restrictions lifted in Malaysia, Brodie is back to her weekly routine of tennis on Tuesdays and Thursdays, dancing whenever possible, teaching her Rolfing clients roughly four times a week and conducting daily Dharma practice.
Brodie has a “fairly sensible” diet, drinks plenty of water and will continue to inspire others with her contagious joie de vivre and balance of physical and mental well-being.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Tommy Beres hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give third-seeded UCLA a wild 25-22 victory over second-seeded Oregon State on Saturday in the Pac-12 Tournament.
The win by the Bruins, who scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings, forced a second game between the teams later in the near 100 degree night.
The winner takes on Stanford in Sunday’s championship game of the first Pac-12 tourney.
Despite losing a 21-12 lead, Oregon State (43-14) bounced back in the 10th inning, regaining the lead on Justin Boyd’s sixth hit, a single-game record for the Beavers.
But UCLA (38-21) couldn’t be slowed down as Michael Curialle singled, Ethan Gourson doubled and Kyle Karros was intentionally walked to load the bases. Ryan Brown balked home the tying run before Beres launched the game-winner over the left-field wall.
UCLA scored nine runs on four hits, three walks, a hit batter and an error in the ninth inning. Curialle, Beres and Kenny Oyama each drove in a pair of runs.
Beres drove in seven runs, Oyama had five hits and five RBIs and Curialle, Gourson and Karros all had four hits. Gourson scored five times. UCLA finished with 25 hits and 12 walks. Three batters were hit by a pitch and the Bruins left 17 runners on base. Until the 10th, UCLA’s only extra base hits were three doubles.
Garret Forrester drove in six runs for the Beavers with a pair of homers among his three hits, Gavin Logan had five hits and five RBIs. Oregon State had 28 hits, nine of them doubles, received six walks and left 14 on base. Boyd scored four runs.

Leaders in Dubuque are asking residents to be “bear aware” amid reports of a black bear roaming northeast Dubuque since early May. The city released information that it is working with the Iowa DNR, the Dubuque County Conservation Board, and Dubuque County Sheriff’s Department to monitor the bear’s movement. The bear has reportedly focused on eating birdseed, pet food and garbage. The city asks everyone to remove the easy meals for the bear by putting away birdseed, barbeque drip pans, and putting food and garbage in places bears can’t access them. A DNR wildlife biologist says once the food is gone, the bear will move on to natural food sources out of town. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2613937004712/dubuque-county-board-supports-continuation-of-atvs-utvs-on-county-roads | 2022-05-30T05:35:36Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2613937004712/dubuque-county-board-supports-continuation-of-atvs-utvs-on-county-roads | false | null |
Singer Moosewala killing seems inter-gang rivalry: Punjab DGP
Chandigarh: The killing of singer-turned-actor-politician Sidhu Moosewala, with a huge fan base running into millions, in Punjab seems to be an inter-gang rivalry, Director General of Police (DGP) V.K. Bhawra said.
“Prima facie, it seems to be an inter-gang rivalry between the Lawrence Bishnoi group and the Lucky Patial group,” he said.
“The Lawrence Bishnoi group has taken the responsibility of Sidhu Moosewala’s murder citing it be the retaliation to the killing of Vicky Midhukhera,” he said.
In less than 24 hours after his security was curtailed by the government, Moosewala, 29, was shot dead by gangsters close to his ancestral village in Mansa in broad daylight on Sunday, police said.
He was on the wheel in a Mahindra Thar SUV when the assailants, believed to be 10-12, fired more than 20 rounds at point-blank range at the singer and his two friends, who got grievous injuries. Moosewala got seven-eight bullets.
It is learnt that the AK-47 assault rifle was used in the crime as its shells were recovered from the crime scene.
The DGP said three shooters — Sunny, Anil Lath and Bholu, all residents of Haryana — have already been arrested by Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with the murder of Midhukhera, while, another accused identified as Shaganpreet, who was manager of Moosewala, was also nominated as accused in the FIR registered regarding the murder of Midhukhera.
Shaganpreet has escaped to Australia and is wanted by the police.
Regarding the killing of Moosewala, the DGP said preliminary investigations revealed three weapons, including 7.62 mm, 9 mm and 0.30 bore weapons, were used in the crime. It is still under investigation, he added.
On the directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) was constituted to ensure effective and speedy investigation of the murder of Shubhdeep Singh alias Sidhu Moosewala.
The SIT members include SP Investigation (Mansa) Dharamveer Singh, DSP Investigation (Bathinda) Vishawajeet Singh and CIA in-charge (Mansa) Prithipal Singh.
Moosewala, who left his house around 4.30 pm along with two persons — Gurwinder Singh and Gurpreet Singh (cousin) — was shot dead by some unidentified persons. Moosewala was driving his Mahindra Thar vehicle.
DGP Bhawra said when Moosewala reached Jawahar Ke village they were followed by a white Corolla and they were intercepted from the front by two cars, including a white Bolero and a dark grey Scorpio.
“There was heavy firing from the front on Sidhu Moosewala and his friends, where all sustained bullet injuries,” he said, adding the police team reached the spot immediately and the trio were taken to the Civil Hospital in Mansa where Moosewala was declared brought dead, while his cousin and his friend are in stable condition and they have been referred to Patiala for further treatment.
On withdrawal of Moosewala’s security, the DGP said in view of Ghallughara week the police had temporarily withdrawn only two security personnel of Moosewala for law and order duty, while he had two police personnel from Commando Battalion deployed with him.
“While leaving home, Sidhu didn’t take along his two police personnel and also left his private bullet-proof car at home,” he said.
The DGP directed the IG (Bathinda range) Pradeep Yadav, the SSP (Mansa) Gaurav Toora and the SSP (Bathinda) J. Elanchezian to camp in Mansa, while the ADGP Law and Order has mobilised the required force to nab the murderers of Moosewala. | https://www.mangalorean.com/singer-moosewala-killing-seems-inter-gang-rivalry-punjab-dgp/ | 2022-05-30T05:35:37Z | https://www.mangalorean.com/singer-moosewala-killing-seems-inter-gang-rivalry-punjab-dgp/ | false | 11 |

Ukrainian defenders hold out in Donbas city
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Volodymyr ZelenskySixth and current President of Ukraine
By Max Hunder and Mari Saito
KYIV/KHARKIV, Ukraine (Reuters) - European Union leaders will meet on Monday to reiterate support for Ukraine as Russian forces intensified attacks to capture Sievierodonetsk, a key city in the southeastern Donbas region that Moscow has prioritised taking full control over.
Incessant shelling has left Ukrainian forces defending ruins in Sievierodonetsk, but their refusal to withdraw is stalling a massive Russian offensive across the Donbas.
"Some 90% of buildings are damaged. More than two-thirds of the city's housing stock has been completely destroyed. There is no telecommunication," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a televised speech.
"Capturing Sievierodonetsk is a fundamental task for the occupiers ... We do all we can to hold this advance."
Zelenskiy visited Ukrainian troops on the frontlines in northeastern Kharkiv region on Sunday, his first trip outside the Kyiv region since the invasion began.
"You risk your lives for us all and for our country," the president's office quoted him as telling soldiers as he handed out commendations and gifts.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the "liberation" of the Donbas, an industrial region which includes Luhansk and Donetsk, was an "unconditional priority" for Moscow.
Ukrainian forces in the Donbas said they were on the defensive all day on Sunday. Russian forces fired on 46 communities in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, killing at least three civilians, wounding two others or destroying or damaging 62 civilian buildings.
Russian shelling also continued on Sunday across several regions such as in Novy Buh in Mykolaiv and Sumy.
A Ukrainian soldier on patrol in trenches near the town of Bakhmut, southwest of Sievierodonetsk, spoke of a nagging fear that his government could be drawn into negotiating an end to the conflict that would result in Ukraine losing territory.
"You know now what I'm most afraid of, now that the fighting is so intense, so tough?" Dmytro, a former English language teacher, told Reuters television. "That we would be told: That's it, stop it, we have a ceasefire."
"A negotiated settlement can only happen on Ukrainian terms and at present if it happened it would be horror," he said, adding that such a move could end Zelenskiy’s career.
German Economy Minister Robert Habeck expressed fears that EU unity was "starting to crumble" as the bloc's leaders are set to meet on Monday and Tuesday in a summit to discuss a new sanctions package against Russia including the oil embargo.
Draft conclusions of the meeting, seen by Reuters, showed that while the EU will be generous with verbal support for Kyiv, there will be little progress on any of the main issues.
EU governments have been unable to agree on a sixth package of sanctions against Moscow because a proposed embargo on Russian oil is not acceptable to Hungary and a big problem for Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
HEAVY LOSSES
Having failed to take the capital Kyiv in the early phase of the war, Russia is seeking to consolidate its grip on the Donbas, large parts of which are already controlled by Moscow-backed separatists.
The Ukrainian government urged the West to provide more longer-range weapons to turn the tide in the war, now in its fourth month. Zelenskiy said he expected "good news" in the coming days.
U.S. officials have said such weapons systems are actively being considered. Canada has asked South Korea to supply it with artillery rounds, Seoul said on Monday, apparently to "backfill" supplies that Ottawa has sent to Ukraine.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington said the Russians had still not managed to encircle Sievierodonetsk and the Ukrainian defenders had inflicted "fearful casualties" on them.
The Ukrainians were taking serious losses themselves, civilians as well as combatants, they said in a briefing paper.
Russia's focus on Sievierodonetsk had drawn resources from other battlefronts and as result they had made little progress elsewhere, the analysts said.

LONDON (AP) — Miami punter Lou Hedley had to fly 13,000 miles to western Australia to cash in on his name.
The tattooed Aussie and thousands of other international athletes at American colleges have been told they can't profit from their name, image and likeness on U.S. soil — though interpretations vary about what constitutes work — so some are trekking home to do it.
In Hedley's case, it was a 37-hour journey that included a long stopover in Qatar.
“It's a pain in the backside having to fly over but it's all worth it,” Hedley told The Associated Press after a day of filming promotional spots for LifeWallet in the city of Perth, where he was also visiting family before his final season with the Hurricanes this fall. “I feel like I deserve to get a little bit of money, I've contributed wealth to the team (with) my name, image and likeness ... so it was good to kind of get compensated for what I've been doing the last three years."
Hedley declined to specify an exact figure but confirmed his NIL deal is in line with his teammates at roughly $50,000. Miami attorney John Ruiz has been actively enlisting Hurricanes on NIL deals through his LifeWallet healthcare company.
The 28-year-old Hedley, one of many Aussie punters in college football, said he didn't sign anything until he touched down Down Under.
“The work is all done here, paid for over here. As long as I’m doing all my work in Australia, I’m getting paid in Australia, paying taxes in Australia and all that stuff, it’s all legal," he said.
Nebraska basketball player Jaz Shelley also made a trip home to Australia for NIL deals, and teammate Isabelle Bourne planned to follow suit. Mustapha Amzil, a 6-foot-9 forward at Dayton, announced on social media that when he plays for the national team of his native Finland this summer he will be “open to any business and sponsorship deals.”
On the whole, though, international athletes are finding the NIL waters tricky to navigate, with mixed messages about what's OK, even now almost a year after the NCAA lifted restrictions.
Some schools have told them to avoid NIL deals altogether because they could jeopardize their visa status. Others say off U.S. soil is fine. Ultimately, the federal government is the arbiter of visa questions and deportations.
“There’s a ton of ambiguity,” said Casey Floyd, co-founder of NOCAP Sports, which is working with athletes to secure deals and advocating for regulatory clarity. “You go to some schools and they are very flexible ... and then you have a lot of schools that they just don’t want to touch it because they’re so scared of the ramifications.”
West Virginia's international athletes, for example, “are not participating in NIL opportunities due to the current application of federal immigration regulations,” spokesman Michael Fragale said. Drexel asked its foreign athletes to “please refrain from entering into a NIL agreement or engaging in compensated NIL activity,” Mladenka Tomasevic, executive director of the International Students and Scholars Services, wrote in February.
It's a different story at Nebraska, where the women’s basketball program tweeted: “International NIL made possible!” adding that when Shelley and Bourne arrive on Australian soil "they will be legally eligible to participate in NIL activity.” Shelley then promoted her T-shirts and hoodies, as well as a Lincoln restaurant.
The University of Florida told its internationals planning NIL activity in their home countries to “ properly document their physical location ” by providing form I-94 arrival/departure records, ”flight itinerary, and port of entry stamp showing abroad.”
Cal basketball player Sam Alajiki of Ireland hopes to stay around Berkeley to promote Next Up Recruitment, a company based in Manchester, England, that helps athletes land scholarships.
“He's literally going to be retweeting content. There's no way that can be deemed as work,” said Next Up founder Ryan Cook, who has also explored holding payments in escrow or becoming an administrator of Alajiki’s social media account and publishing that way.
“The last thing we want to do is break anyone's visa status,” he said. “We're working with the Cal compliance team, as well, to make sure everything is OK. We’ve not received any pushback.”
Just in case, though, the deal doesn’t begin until September. By then, there may be specific guidance from the NCAA or relevant government agencies.
The NCAA’s initial advice said international athletes are covered by the interim NIL policy but that students “may consider” consulting with their school’s compliance official “for guidance related to maintaining their immigration status and tax implications.” If they have questions, they should write to the U.S. Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
That program — SEVP — “continues to assess” the issue, said Sarah Loicano, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Kentucky forward Oscar Tshiebwe of Congo is among those calling for Congress to help foreign student athletes. The AP player of the year, who is returning for his senior season, recently met with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to make his case. The financial benefit to Tshiebwe could exceed seven figures.
The vast majority of the athletes hold F-1 visas that largely prohibit off-campus work. On-campus work is tightly restricted. Foreign students at the high school and prep level also stand to gain.
TCU tight end Alexander Honig of Germany said he hasn't pursued the “super small” deals he's been offered.
“Lately I’ve been really focused on my athletic path," said Honig, who was recruited as a quarterback. "I think I need to get on the field first and perform on a high level before I need to worry about NIL.”

Josh Thomson recently put forth his take regarding Paddy Pimblett’s upcoming lightweight bout against Jordan Leavitt which will take place at UFC London on July 23. On the Weighing In podcast, former UFC lightweight Thomson suggested that the fight will show how good Pimblett’s grappling is.
Pimblett, a former Cage Warriors featherweight champion, is currently 2-0 in the UFC. The UK MMA stalwart was stunned on the feet in both fights but rallied to win his first fight via knockout and second via submission. Alluding to this fact, Thomson stated:
“I mean, Paddy got his good wins. You know what, he’s dealt with some adversity in both fights. He’s got the wins. This is gonna be a big fight in terms of if this fight does hit the ground, we’re going to find out if his grappling is better than Leavitt.”
He also added that Leavitt doesn't have a very strong stand-up game:
“Yeah, we’re gonna see. Leavitt’s good on the ground, [but] on the feet, he’s not that good on the feet. He suffers on the feet. I think Paddy can sprawl and brawl, keep this fight on the feet.”
Thomson highlighted that Pimblett possesses good grappling skills but believes that his grappling is often given way more credit than it deserves. Thomson opined that ‘The Baddy’ is “not a top-level jiu-jitsu guy.”
However, he indicated that Pimblett is a more explosive fighter and possesses better striking skills than Leavitt. Furthermore, Thomson and podcast co-host John McCarthy concurred that Leavitt’s ideal path to victory would be to close the distance, battle in the clinch, get the fight to the mat, and engage Pimblett in a grappling-heavy matchup.
Watch Thomson and McCarthy discuss the Paddy Pimblett vs. Jordan Leavitt matchup in the video below:
Paddy Pimblett on why he refuses to fight more frequently
Paddy Pimblett is widely regarded as one of the biggest rising-stars in MMA today. That said, he’s consistently maintained that he won’t fight more frequently in the UFC unless he’s given a pay raise.
Speaking to Brendan Schaub on the Food Truck Diaries show, Pimblett recently acknowledged that he and other young UFC fighters like Sean O’Malley are making more money outside the UFC than they are from their fights.
In regards to people asking him to fight four times a year, Pimblett asserted that he doesn’t need to fight that often to earn money. Having signed a seven-figure deal with Barstool Sports last year, the confident Pimblett explained:
“I make more money outside the octagon. Why? Why should I fight four times a year? Give me a reason when I’m earning more outside the cage than I am in it.” | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-josh-thomson-gives-opinion-paddy-pimblett-s-upcoming-ufc-london-fight-jordan-leavitt | 2022-05-30T06:04:31Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-josh-thomson-gives-opinion-paddy-pimblett-s-upcoming-ufc-london-fight-jordan-leavitt | false | 1 |

Nottingham Forest players celebrate the club’s return to the Premier League
Djed Spence had a message for his former boss Neil Warnock.
Nottingham Forest are back in the Premier League and their players could not be happier.
From goalkeeper Brice Samba to substitute Sam Surridge, most of the Reds squad have been tweeting about the achievement, while Djed Spence took a swipe at his former manager.
Brice Samba
Goalkeeper Samba, Forest’s penalty shoot-out hero in the semi-final win over Sheffield United, posted two pictures of him lifting the trophy with the word ‘HISTORIC’ and three love-heart emojis.
Djed Spence
Full-back Spence fell out of favour at Middlesbrough under Neil Warnock and was sent on a season-long loan to Forest in August. He has found a new lease of life at the City Ground, playing a major role in their success, and he let new Twitter recruit Warnock know it after the final whistle, tweeting a picture of himself with the trophy and a cigar. Above it read: “Oh, Where’s my manners! Welcome to Twitter @warnockofficial.”
Steve Cook
Cook is no stranger to winning promotion to the Premier League having already achieved the feat with Bournemouth. It has been 23 years since Forest last played in the top flight, and Cook tweeted: “THE FOREST BOYS ARE BACK!!”
Brennan Johnson
The Sky Bet Championship’s Young Player of the Year did not tweet himself but proud dad David Johnson, who made 120 starts and scored 46 goals for Forest between January 2001 and September 2006, described the occasion as the ‘best day of my life’.
Ryan Yates
Yates, who caused Huddersfield defender Levi Colwill to put the ball into his own net for the winning goal, simply tweeted ‘For you Reds’ with a picture of himself with the trophy.
James Garner/Steven Reid
Manchester United loanee Garner commented ‘Mood’ on a picture of first-team coach Steven Reid holding 12 cans of lager with a cigar in his mouth.
Keinan Davis
Another loanee, Aston Villa’s Keinan Davis, proclaimed: “YOU’VE GOT YOUR FOREST BACK!”
Sam Surridge
Substitute Surridge, who scored seven Championship goals for the Reds this season, is looking forward to next term, tweeting: “WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE.”

The Finals matchup: Celtics vs. Warriors for NBA title
MIAMI (AP) - Somewhere, Gregg Popovich must be pleased.
Ime Udoka and Steve Kerr both played for Popovich with of the San Antonio Spurs, both served as assistant coaches under him, and neither makes any effort to hide the affinity they have for the NBA’s career victory leader.
And now, Udoka and Kerr are about to go head-to-head — in the NBA Finals.
The title matchup is set: It’ll be Udoka and the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics facing Kerr and the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors, a series that begins Thursday night in San Francisco. The teams split their two regular-season meetings, each winning on the other’s home floor.
The Warriors have been waiting for an opponent since this past Thursday after needing only five games to beat Dallas for the West title. The Celtics got there the hard way, winning Game 7 in Miami on Sunday night to capture the East.
“We stayed with it. We believed in each other. We made a commitment on the defensive end,” said Celtics forward Al Horford, who, after 141 playoff games, is headed to the NBA Finals for the first time. “That was the biggest thing, defending.”
For the Celtics, it’s a chance at an 18th NBA championship — which would break the tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most in league history. For the Warriors, it’s a chance at a seventh crown — which would break a tie with the Chicago Bulls for third-most in league history.
It’s also a rematch of the 1964 finals, when Bill Russell and the Celtics topped the Warriors in five games.
“I’ve said it many times: You go to the finals, it’s almost a two-month journey filled with stress and fatigue and everything else,” said Kerr, who gave his team Friday and Saturday off before bringing them back to work Sunday. “So, if you can get a little bit of a break, it’s very meaningful. Hopefully, we can get healthy and have a few days of really good prep and be ready to go on Thursday.”
Golden State won at Boston 111-107 on Dec. 17, behind 30 points from Stephen Curry. The Celtics rolled on Golden State’s home floor in the rematch on March 16, winning 110-88 in the game where Curry injured his foot — and that’s where his regular season ended.
Curry was ready to go for the playoffs. So were the rest of the Warriors. They’re 12-4 in the playoffs, getting through Denver, Memphis and Dallas to get to the title round.
“It all starts with Steph,” Kerr said.
Udoka has a chance to become the 10th coach to win a title in his first season. Eddie Gottlieb (1947 Philadelphia Warriors), Buddy Jeanette (1948 Baltimore Bullets), John Kundla (1949 Minneapolis Lakers), George Senesky (1956 Philadelphia Warriors), Paul Westhead (1980 Los Angeles Lakers), Pat Riley (1982 Los Angeles Lakers), Tyronn Lue (2016 Cleveland Cavaliers) and Nick Nurse (2019 Toronto Raptors) are eight of the coaches who have pulled off the feat.
The other name on that list is Kerr — who did it with Golden State in 2015, the start of this run of greatness from the Warriors. That was the beginning of six finals appearances in eight years, the two exceptions being when injuries and a roster reset kept them from the playoffs in 2020 and 2021.
“You can’t take it for granted,” Curry said after the West title series. “Nothing’s ever guaranteed. We understand how hard it is to win. We’ve said that until we’re blue in the face the last two years. This is definitely special. Proud of everybody that is in that locker room, that came with it all year. Now we have an opportunity to go finish a job.”
Udoka played for Popovich and later was a San Antonio assistant. Kerr played for the Spurs, then assisted Popovich with USA Basketball through last summer’s Tokyo Olympics — when the Americans won a fourth consecutive gold medal.
The Warriors’ Draymond Green was on that Olympic team. So was Boston’s Jayson Tatum. They celebrated winning gold together, and now they’ll try to go through one another to get their fingerprints on the gold trophy that goes to the NBA champions — the Larry O’Brien.
“This is an opportunity that players dream of,” Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins said. “To be put in a position to win it all.”
And if nothing else, a Warriors-Celtics matchup made Green seem prophetic.
After the Warriors won the West, Green visited the TNT broadcast set after the game and was prodded by Shaquille O’Neal to say which team from the then-undecided East title series that he would like to play.
Green began giving a diplomatic answer, saying that both the Heat and Celtics were tough. O’Neal pressed him to be honest, and Green — never shy with words — gave in.
“You’re asking me who I want to play. I’m gonna tell who I think we’re going to play: We’re going to play Boston,” Green said Thursday night. “That’s who we’re going to play.”
He was right.

The Indian equity markets staged a strong comeback after a sharp selloff seen in the past few weeks. Frontline indices BSE S&P Sensex was up over 1,000 points at 55,948 levels, whereas, Nifty 50 touched three-week high, floating above the 16,650 mark. Broader markets, too, reflected resilience as Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rose over 1 per cent each.
Analysts believe that the improvement in global sentiment on the back of consumer resiliency and peaking inflation brought cheer back to the Dalal Street. Investors got a respite from the painful selloff after the US markets closed on a positive note last week.
TRACK MARKETS LIVE HERE
All this, analysts believe, has given some fodder to the bulls. The markets, analysts said are set for a near-term rally after a sharp sell-off in the past few weeks.
"The sharp upswing in Nasdaq and S&P 500 late last week indicates near-term trend reversal. The decline in dollar index and the US 10-year bond yields, too, are positives for risk particularly in emerging markets. The beaten down IT segment is likely to stage a good comeback assisted by short-covering. Financials, particularly the leading banks, have more room to go up assisted by delivery based investment buying. However, Brent crude at $120, however, is a major macro headwind," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Here are key factors that drove the rally on Monday’s trade:
Strong global mood: US markets shut shop on Friday on a strong note backed by healthy US consumer spending for the month of April. Consumer spending that accounts for more than two-third of the US economic activity, rose 0.9 per cent last month. While expenditure for goods increased by 0.8 per cent driven by new motor vehicles, clothes, footwear, spending for services outlay rose by 0.9 per cent in April. Data by US commerce department on improvement of goods trade deficit also boosted the investor sentiment.
WATCH VIDEO: Sensex, Nifty could witness biggest May decline since 2012. What next?
Covid curbs ease in China: The relaxation of covid-19 curbs in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai also contributed to investors’ confidence. Shanghai announced a slew of stimulus measures and both Shanghai and Beijing eased Covid-19 restrictions. The devil is in the detail of course, and corkers in both cities still face challenges either going to work, or even being allowed to leave the house. Asian markets, analysts said, is pricing in peak virus in China and a recovery in growth. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 2.21 per cent, Topix up by 1.81 per cent, and Hang Seng’s Hong Kong advanced by 1.87 per cent.
Declining dollar and yields: The dollar edged lower on Friday, registering second weekly decline as investors’ digested the rate hike expectation and peaking inflation on the back of strong consumer spending data. The dollar index dropped to its lowest level since April 25 at 101.43. The minutes from the US Federal Reserve’s May meet signaled at 50 basis points (bps) rate hike in its June and July policy meetings. Analysts believe that the markets have fully priced in the expected Fed’s rate hike, hence the broader rally in rally is behind us. That apart, the 10-year global bond yield moved lower by 1 bps to 2.74 per cent, which also boosted equity market sentiment.

Monsoon's date with Indian shores: Southwest monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, three days ahead of its normal onset date of June 1, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. This, analysts believe, is a good news for the India that is battling soaring inflation. Timely and normal rains can boost production for monsoon-sown crops such as rice, soya beans and pulses etc.
Rate hikes priced-in: According to the recent minutes of RBI meet, members of the monetary policy committee argued for front-loading interest rate hikes amid rising inflation. Analysts believe that the Reserve Bank of India’s expected rate hike is already priced in the markets; hence the strong pullback is here to stay. Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking says, “Considering the sticky inflation and global monetary tightening, markets are already discounting the 25 bps rate hike.”

MANILA, Philippines – “Kaka-computer mo ‘yan” certainly strikes a different tone nowadays with the big money opportunities available for the taking for talented videogame players.
Edward Jay Dapadap is one of them. The 17-year-old pro player from Blacklist International with winnings from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) and the game’s biggest annual tournament, the M World Championship is now building his own house in Bataan.
“Nothing beats the happiness of seeing your dreams slowly coming true through your hard work,” the teen esports star said in a Facebook post. “Katas ng ML at the age of 17.” (This is the fruit of competing in Mobile Legends at the age of 17.)
Dapadap, with Blacklist, won seasons 7 and 8 of MPL PH, both held in 2021, with the team taking home US$31,400 and US$45,200 respectively. Their winnings at the M World Championship in December 2021, however, dwarf those figures, with the team taking home $300,000.
The team also donated a portion of the M World Championship purse to victims of Typhoon Odette.
More recently, Blacklist won the gold at the 31st Southeast Asian Games. Dapadap, however wasn’t able to participate as the age limit for this edition’s esports tourneys were raised from 12 to 18 years old.
“Thank you po, Lord, sa lahat ng blessings na patuloy niyong ibinibigay. Isa sa pangarap kong makapagpatayo ng dream house ko para sa family. Sulit ang lahat ng pagod at sakripisyo. Maraming salamat din sa inyong lahat lalo na sa family ko sa patuloy na pagtitiwala at walang sawang suporta. Wala ang lahat ng ito kung wala kayo,” Dapadap said.
(Thank you, Lord, for all the blessing you’ve continued to give. One of my dreams is to build a dream house for my family. All the effort and sacrifices have paid off. Thank you, especially, to my family for continuing to trust me, and the endless support. There’s none of this without you.) – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/technology/edward-dapadap-mobile-legends-player-dream-house-earnings/ | 2022-05-30T06:51:50Z | https://www.rappler.com/technology/edward-dapadap-mobile-legends-player-dream-house-earnings/ | true | 1 |

Abstract
The hazard posed by wildland-urban-interface (WUI) fires is recognized by the international fire research community and features as one of nine research need priority threads in the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) Research Roadmap. We posit that the first step in the journey to enhancing fire safety engineering at the WUI is to develop a common understanding between developers, engineers, planners, and regulators of the development scope, wildfire problem, technical design solutions, and verification methods to be used. In order to define a fire safety engineering consultation process appropriate for the wildfire context, this paper aims to translate well-established and evidence-based performance-based design (PBD) consultation frameworks and approaches from traditional fire safety engineering to the wildfire context. First, we review international English-language fire safety engineering frameworks that have been developed for the urban context. Next, we distil the results into a streamlined framework, which we call the "CAED Framework". Finally, we apply and discuss the contextualization of the CAED Framework to the WUI context through a comparative case study of urban and WUI development. In doing so we seek to provide a structure for the development of standardized PBD within the WUI context across jurisdictions internationally, as well as to embed best practices into the emerging field of performance-based wildfire engineering.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study explored how demographic characteristics, life experiences, and firefighting experiences have an impact on work-related injuries among female firefighters, and described events surrounding such work-related injuries. METHODS: This online survey was available from June 2019 to July 2020. Questions related to demographic characteristics, life experiences, firefighting experiences, and work-related injuries. Descriptive analyses characterized variables by the presence or absence of work-related injury, injury severity, job assignment, and country of residence. RESULTS: There were 1,160 active female firefighter survey respondents from the US and Canada, 64% of whom reported having at least one work-related injury. US respondents made up 67% of the total but 75% of the injured sample. Injured respondents were older, had been in the fire service longer, and had a greater number of fires and toxic exposures than non-injured respondents. Heavier weight, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption were more common among injured respondents. The two most common contributing factors to work-related injuries were human error and firefighter fatigue. Among respondents who reported an injury-related time loss claim, 69% were wearing protective equipment when injured, and 9% of the injuries directly resulted in new policy implementation. CONCLUSIONS: These findings can help inform resource allocation, and development of new policies and safety protocols, to reduce the number of work-related injuries among female firefighters.

Abstract
Me & You: Building Healthy Relationships (Me & You) is a multilevel, technology-enhanced adolescent dating violence (DV) prevention program that aimed to reduce DV among ethnic-minority, early adolescent, urban youth. A group-randomized control trial of Me & You, conducted with 10 middle schools from a large urban school district in Southeast Texas in 2014-2015, found it to be effective in reducing DV perpetration and decreasing some forms of DV victimization. Economic evaluations of DV interventions are extremely limited, despite calls for more economic analyses to be incorporated in research. We help fill this gap by evaluating the cost-effectiveness from the payer and societal perspectives of implementing the Me & You program. Using cost data collected alongside the Me & You group-randomized trial, we computed incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Our primary outcome was "any DV perpetrated" within 12 months of the intervention. We conducted a cost-benefit analysis beyond the intervention endpoint by using literature estimates of per-victim lifetime costs of DV. We performed sensitivity analyses to assess effects of uncertain parameters. Under the base-case scenario, the cost of the Me & You curriculum compared to the standard curriculum was $103.70 per-student from the societal perspective, and the effectiveness was 34.84 perpetrations averted, implying an incremental cost per perpetration averted of $2.98, which ranged from $0.48 to $73.24 in sensitivity analysis. Thus, we find the Me & You curriculum is cost-effective and cost-saving in most scenarios. Policymakers should carefully consider school-based DV prevention programs, and cost data should be regularly collected in adolescent prevention program evaluations.

It "felt like a fight" to get a man admitted into a mental health ward after he'd told health professionals he wanted to kill himself, a nurse has told a coronial inquest today.
Her evidence comes as the hearing into the death of Shaun Gray began today.
Gray died while a patient at Palmerston North's Ward 21 in 2014. Months later 21-year-old Erica Hume also died in the same ward. Her inquest is to be heard later this year.
"I was very clear in my communication that Shaun was in distress," the nurse, his care worker told the court.

Advertise with NZME."He was in restraints being wheeled through to the High Needs Unit," she said.
"The handover felt like a fight. I was on my own at the nursing station with a doctor arguing with me about whether she would accept Shaun and a nurse that would not listen to me.
"I had no assistance. At one point I thought they were going to refuse his admission."
The facts
According to the summary of facts, on the morning of April 15, 2014, Gray went to the pharmacy to be given his daily medication of methadone.
After not being allowed to take this medication away with him he became agitated and called his care worker.
He then sent a text to his mother. She called the alcohol and drug treatment centre and explained her concerns.
A plan was then made to collect Gray and bring him to the centre. However, when staff picked him up he told them he'd taken a range of barbiturates and injected himself with acid.
They took him straight to hospital where he was refusing treatment and was aggressive toward staff.

Advertise with NZME.He expressed suicidal tendencies and a call was made to keep him in hospital under restraints.
He was transferred to the High Needs Unit in Ward 21 the next day.
While there the nurse who was originally charged with his care did not complete his admission documentation before her shift handover.
There was also some confusion about the prescription of an abnormally high dose of medication to help Gray sleep. His doctor was called and a lower dose was administered.
In actuality, Gray did not consume any of his sleep medication that night.
Later that evening, just before midnight he was found unresponsive in his room.

Gray's care worker, a registered nurse with the Alcohol and Other Drug service, also gave evidence before the inquest today.
She told the court that she visited Gray in the hospital emergency department on April 16 where she asked him if he had any suicidal tendencies, to which he responded "yes," but would not elaborate further.
Gray was then placed under the care of the Mental Health Act and taken to Ward 21's High Needs Unit.
The nurse arrived at the ward and told the court that it was extremely noisy and busy while she attempted to tell staff there about her concerns for Gray's condition.
"I conveyed my concerns about his current mental state, including biting and scratching which is completely out of character for him," she said.
"I had known him for six years and never seen this kind of behaviour from him before."
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.She said the conversation was difficult due to the noise level and it was hard to discuss Gray's condition, as well as an error on his drug chart which prescribed him a dosage of sleep medication that was well above the maximum.
"I continued to try and talk to the nurse and give verbal handover.
"She appeared very distracted - I asked her at one point 'Are you even listening to me?'.
"I was very frustrated that day. Every time I tried to hand anything over I was met with quite a bit of resistance.
"I've never had an admission like this."
Methadone
Concerns had been raised about the levels of methadone that Gray had been prescribed by his Alcohol and Other Drug treatment doctor, Dr Sarz Maxwell.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.It was found that he was receiving nearly three times the amount of a standard dose.
One of the key factors being analysed is whether Gray's high dosage was prescribed appropriately, and whether the reduction of his dosage was managed safely.
One of the considerations Coroner Matthew Bates is dealing with is whether the reduction in his dosage contributed to Gray's suicidal tendencies.
The first witness who was called before the coroner was instructed to conduct a review into Maxwell's prescribing practices in 2013 and found that on average she was prescribing far higher doses than her counterparts in other areas of the country.
"Shaun had been taking opiates for 15 years and had been on methadone treatment since 2004, so would have been highly tolerant to the sedating effects," the witness said.
"But there needs to be adequate safeguards before this kind of prescribing is undertaken," the man, who has name suppression, said.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."I presume that all doctors prescribing in drug clinics are given the national methadone guidelines.
"They would be aware that there is a constraint in policy to a ceiling dose. So a doctor should be observant of that and compliant."
The second witness - whose title and name are also suppressed - commissioned the review into the methadone prescribing practices of Maxwell.
After the review which found she was prescribing the drug at high doses, he met with the doctor and implemented a plan to have all her patients who were receiving a high dose slowly moved to a lower dose.
He also instigated a formal review into her prescribing practices, but Maxwell returned to America before the investigation could be completed.
On questioning, the witness revealed that he was made aware the doctor was also using opioid substitution medication, though he did not disclose its use.

Advertise with NZME.Scope of the inquest
In May last year, Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier paid a surprise visit to the infamous ward and released a report describing it as one of the worst in the country.
He found that the 24-bed ward was over capacity. Māori were put into seclusion at higher rates and there was urgent repair work needed.
Boshier also found there were a high number of medication errors, young people were often restrained and their access to telephones and leisure activities was limited.
A new $35 million ward was announced by the government several years ago and was due to open this year, however that opening date has been pushed back to at least 2023.
As part of the inquest there are pages of questions that Coroner Bates is seeking to establish answers to in relation to Gray's death.
Among those are whether the cocktail of drugs Gray was prescribed contributed to his suicidal tendencies and why the nurse charged with his care at Ward 21 did not convey his suicide risk in her clinical notes.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Also under scrutiny is the staffing levels at the ward which were found at the time to be sub-optimal as well as the frequency to which Gray was checked on during his brief stint in the ward.
The coroner will try to establish what has changed at the ward since Gray's death.
Specifically, have prescribing practices changed to ensure patients receive the medicines they're supposed to and whether Mid-Central District Health Board has apportioned more staff to ensure high-risk patients are monitored more frequently.
The inquest is set to call a further 23 witnesses over the next few weeks. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fight-to-get-shaun-gray-into-mental-health-ward-nurse-tells-inquest/ETQWT7WH542XSYK5LXQJW5XEF4/ | 2022-05-30T07:06:44Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/fight-to-get-shaun-gray-into-mental-health-ward-nurse-tells-inquest/ETQWT7WH542XSYK5LXQJW5XEF4/ | true | 1 |
The mental health of a schizophrenic man who was shot and killed by police in Brisbane’s CBD will be explored in an inquest into his death.
Mohamad Ikraam Bahram sent the city into lockdown after he travelled from Logan to Brisbane armed with a knife in February 2020.
The 24-year-old stabbed a tourist, leaving him with minor injuries.
Mr Bahram, who was receiving treatment for schizophrenia at the time, was shot and killed by police after he allegedly charged at officers while armed.
Documents filed in a pre-inquest conference on Monday outlined what will be explored, including “the circumstances leading up to the shooting” including treatment for Mr Bahram’s mental health.
“In the months prior to his death, records suggest that Ikram had a number of presentations, both voluntary and involuntary, to hospital for episodes of poor mental health,” the document states.
“The sufficiency of the care and treatment he was provided will be considered during the course of the inquest, and it is intended that an expert report will be sought to comment in this regard.”
The actions of the police officers involved will also be looked into.
“Whether the police officers involved acted in accordance with the Queensland Police Service policies and procedures then in force and whether said actions were appropriate,” court documents state.
“Whether the training provided to officers in responding to a similar incident is sufficient.”
The three-day inquest will call eight witnesses including three police officers.
It is believed Mr Bahram was suffering from a mental health episode when he travelled into the city armed with a knife, including persecutory delusions, hallucinations and poor insight.
He left his home about 9am on February 23, 2020, with just a backpack and drove into Brisbane, parking on Market St.
Mr Bahram then walked to Mary St and pulled a knife from the backpack around 10am, before running at a British tourist who was walking through the city.
The 24-year-old “chased and pursued” the male before stabbing him in the back and punching him in the face, according to court documents.
The knife broke in the attack, prompting Mr Bahram to return to his car and get a larger knife as multiple witnesses called police.
CCTV footage shows Mr Bahram as he walked back towards Mary St holding the larger knife.
Police rushed to the scene and attempted to stop the 24-year-old.
“As officers exited the vehicle, it is clearly captured on BWC footage that Ikram runs at one of the officers with the knife in his right hand,” court documents state.
“As the officer moves away in an attempt to withdraw and place some distance between himself and Ikram, he calls for him to drop the knife.
“When Ikram does not comply and continues to run towards the officer, a string of shots were fired hitting him.”
The inquest will take place later this year. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/mohamad-ikraam-bahram-shot-and-killed-by-police-in-brisbane-cbd-suffered-from-schizophrenia-c-6990205 | 2022-05-30T07:09:29Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/mohamad-ikraam-bahram-shot-and-killed-by-police-in-brisbane-cbd-suffered-from-schizophrenia-c-6990205 | false | 2 |

LONDON (AP) — As a 9-year-old girl, Princess Elizabeth appeared with her family on Buckingham Palace’s balcony to mark her grandfather George V’s Silver Jubilee, an excited grin on her face as she gazed at the crowds below.
The better part of a century later, the former princess — now 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II — is expected to take to the same balcony this week to smile and wave at millions celebrating her 70 years on the throne.
The balcony appearance is the centerpiece of almost all royal celebrations in Britain, a chance for the public to catch a glimpse of the family assembled for a grand photo to mark weddings, coronations and jubilees. Every June, the extended royal family put on their finest uniforms, hats and frocks and gather to mark the queen’s birthday, celebrated with an extravagant military parade known as Trooping the Color and concluding with the balcony moment after the Royal Air Force flies past.
Balcony images through the decades chronicle the changing faces of the monarchy, and offer snapshots of many milestones in Elizabeth’s life. As a young woman, the princess donned her military uniform and stood alongside Winston Churchill to celebrate the end of World War II in 1945.
Eight years later, she wore the Imperial State Crown and regal robes to greet a sea of ecstatic subjects after her own coronation.
This Thursday, the family’s Platinum Jubilee balcony appearance will be notable for those who will be absent. Palace officials announced earlier this month that “after careful consideration,” the queen decided that only working members of the royal family and their children will gather on the balcony.
That means that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who stepped away from frontline royal duties and moved to California in 2020, and their young children will be excluded. So will Prince Andrew, who has been disgraced by a sex scandal and his links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I think the decision to only have current working members of the royal family on the balcony was a very sensible one because it avoids any awkward situations,” said Emily Nash, royal editor at HELLO! magazine.
“People are watching the family dynamic to see if there are tensions, and there would be a huge outcry, I think, if we see Prince Andrew on the balcony. So it resolves all those issues in one fell swoop,” Nash added. “But the palace had made it clear throughout that Harry and Meghan remain very much loved members of the family and they will be here.”
Harry and Meghan, known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have said they will fly to the U.K. with their two young children and that they look forward to joining the long weekend of festivities. The trip will be the family’s first visit to Harry’s home country, and any appearance they make at Jubilee events — including a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral and a possible second balcony gathering on Sunday — will be closely watched.
Andrew, meanwhile, will be kept out of the public spotlight after he recently reached a multimillion-pound settlement with a woman who filed a U.S. lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault when she was 17 years old. The queen’s second son was stripped of his honorary military titles in January amid the scandal.
Some royal watchers say the limited balcony lineup this Thursday is also consistent with a longstanding desire by Prince Charles to slim down the monarchy.
The decision means the queen will be flanked Thursday on the balcony by her 73-year-old heir, Charles, and his wife Camilla; Prince William, the second in line to the throne, with his wife Kate and their three children; and Charles’ siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, along with their spouses.
Several other less recognizable working royals will join the group, including the queen’s cousin, the Duke of Gloucester and his wife, as well as the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.
While some past balcony gatherings have included a large contingent of royals — including the queen’s distant cousins — the Diamond Jubilee celebration in 2012 saw the queen accompanied by just five close family members: Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and Harry.
“It was making a point, it’s saying -- this is the future, folks,” said Robert Hardman, the monarch's biographer and author of “Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II."
For this week, “it’s not a case of Andrew or Harry or Meghan being barred from the balcony,” Hardman added. “They have withdrawn from royal duties, so they’re not part of the operational unit. That’s what it’s all about.”
The tradition of a balcony appearance began with Queen Victoria, who transformed Buckingham Palace into the monarch’s official residence and a royal family home in the 19th century. Victoria made the first royal balcony appearance during celebrations marking the opening of the 1851 Great Exhibition.
It's a symbolic moment of the crown and people coming together, said Ed Owens, a royal historian and author of “The Family Firm: Monarchy, Mass Media and the British Public 1932-1953.”
“It was popularized as this moment where the nation came to look up to the royals,” Owens said.
It’s a formal occasion, though mischievous royal children often steal the scene. Harry, at 3 and still in his mother Diana's arms, made an impression when he stuck his tongue out at photographers.
Royal watchers are hopeful that the queen, who has trouble getting around now and recently missed out on several major public engagements, will be present for Thursday's balcony moment and at least one or two of the events planned for the four-day Platinum Jubilee weekend. But there are no promises.
“We can't take anything for given at this point — at the age of 96, you have good days and bad days,” said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine. “The palace is very much taking it one day at a time.”

Annual loss of 100 billion hours could go up with increase in warming
A recent study published in ‘Nature Communications’ highlighted that India is the most impacted country with the largest heat exposure to labour productivity. It loses labour productivity of more than 100 billion hours per year while the global sum is 220 billion hours.
Comparable losses in China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Philippines are relatively much less, the report said. With an additional 1 to 2-degree warming; the labour productivity losses go up to 156 and 230 billion hours, respectively, in India.
Losses of up to $311 billion
Sanjay Srivastava, Chief Disaster Risk Reduction at the Bangkok-based UN-ESCAP, explained to BusinessLine that the International Labour Organisation estimates that labour productivity losses associated with reductions in work rate due to heat exposure can be as high as $280-311 billion per year.
These are mostly attributed to losses in low- and middle-income countries including those in South Asia in sectors involving heavy manual labour such as agriculture and construction.
Srivastava recalled that in April this year, the South Asia Climate Outlook Forum had released a consensus statement on the Seasonal Climate Outlook for the 2022 Southwest Monsoon Season (June-September).
Translating the seasonal climate outlook to impact forecasting, the UN-ESCAP had identified hotspots of vulnerable population likely being exposed to low precipitation and high temperature.
Sub-regional pathway
He noted that sub-regional initiatives such as the South Asia Heat Health Information Network and the Global Health Health Information Network, a joint venture of the World Health Organisation and the World Meteorological Organisation, are building blocks of a sub-regional pathway.
UN-ESCAP’s Risk and Resilience Portal, an initiative of Asia-Pacific Disaster Resilience Network, is also an effort to strengthen such sub-regional pathways for adaptation to heatwaves and a help build a resilient future for all.

Summers are not getting over soon and going out shopping during the day is just inconvenient, especially in northern India. Well, if it is the iPhone you are looking to buy, you have the choice of shopping online, but then their current offers are not better than what some Apple Authorised Resellers are giving right now. Fret not. One of these resellers has the same offer for online buyers, but it comes with a small caveat.
Unicorn Store, which is among the leading resellers in India, has listed the iPhone 13 for Rs 69,513 on its online store. That is more than Rs 10,000 less than the iPhone 13's original price, which you might have to pay if you plan to buy from the Apple online store. It is also less than what you will see on Amazon or Flipkart right now. Although it is not the lowest price we have seen on the iPhone 13 (Amazon was selling it for Rs 66,900 a few weeks back), it is a sweet deal if you are on the market looking to buy an iPhone 13.
Yes, it is indeed a sweet deal, but it can get sweeter if you meet one condition. If you have an HDFC Bank card, you will be eligible for a cashback of Rs 4,000, bringing down the cost for you to Rs 65,513. It is perhaps the lowest price you will pay for the iPhone 13 right now. But keep in mind that you need an eligible card for that. Even if you do not own an HDFC Bank card, you can arrange it with your friends or family because a Rs 4,000 discount should not be missed.
You can buy the iPhone 13 by either paying an upfront amount of Rs 69,513 or opting for instalments. But keep in mind that if you opt for instalments, the cashback offer is applicable only if you go for at least a six-month tenure. Also, there is a processing charge that will be added to your bill in that case, so do your math in terms of how cheap the deal can be.
There is another thing you should know. If you are eyeing that gorgeous Green colour variant of the iPhone 13, you are out of luck. The online store says it is out of stock, and the customer representative told India Today Tech that they have no information about when the restock will happen. But that is not to say that you cannot find this variant at all. The most convenient way would be buying the Green variant from the Apple Store, which is running a special offer on exchange programmes right now, but at MRPs.

The misfortunes of Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Anek continued on the third day as its box office collection dropped by 15 per cent on Sunday as per Bollywood Hungama. It earned in the range of Rs 1.95 crore to 2.15 crore as per the publication.
The film had begun its theatrical journey on Friday with an unimpressive Rs 2.11 crore. It earned Rs 2.30 crore on Saturday. Now, its total collection stands at around Rs 6.50 crore.
Giving tough competition to Anek is Aneez Bazmi’s horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the last week’s holdover which is minting moolah at the box office.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 stars Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. The widely panned movie has relied on word-of-mouth to become a success.

Written and directed by Anubhav Sinha, Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Anek tackles the insurgency in Northeast India. The film also stars J.D. Chakravarthy, Andrea Kevichüsa, Deeplina Deka, Manoj Pahwa, and Kumud Mishra.
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the movie 2.5 stars. In her review, she wrote, “Once in a while we also hear the deep-rooted cynicism that immediately cuts close to the bone, and which belongs much more to what this film is striving for: do ‘they’ want ‘peace’ or ‘a peace accord’? There’s a difference, and only those who know, know. There’s also this: ‘who really wants peace, because war is much more profitable’. These are the moments which feel true. And then the film swings back to its springy safety net. Conviction or cop-out? Your decision will depend on which side of the fence you are on.”

In 2005, Marcella Alsan earned a master’s in public health from Harvard as well as a medical degree from Loyola University. She soon headed to Tijuana, Mexico, to tutor at an orphanage for a year. She ended up providing physical therapy to a young boy with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. They would move him off the floor, try to swing his legs and arms, and sing to him. The boy had previously been unable to obtain a shunt while a baby that would have helped relieve fluid buildup. As a result, he was now suffering from brain damage that left him bedridden.
“The contrast at the border was so incredibly stark,” Alsan told The Daily Beast. “I think it motivated some of my work on health inequality.”
Years later in late 2021, Alsan, now a professor of public policy at Harvard, would be recognized for her timely research on how the legacies of discrimination had perpetuated racial disparities in health care and health outcomes in ways we are only now starting to see discussed in the public forum. She was among 25 Americans selected for the very prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, which awards people $625,000 over the course of five years to pursue creative endeavors and influential work that is geared toward “building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world.”
Alsan’s work these days is in analyzing health care trends through the lens of what she calls “the economics of the downtrodden.” It’s quite a unique landing point for someone who used to work as a practicing physician, and who later on pivoted into economics.
After getting her master’s from Harvard, Alsan first hoped to work with Doctors Without Borders, as she had “always wanted to work on health care for indigent populations,” she recalled. But her experience on the ground instigated her to look at the economics of health care. When she visited Ecuador in 2004, she noticed a shortage of insulin due to cutbacks on health and education budgets.
“What motivated me [to pursue economics] is thinking about poverty and the root causes of unequal distribution of disease and medicine.”
She tackled her dual passions concurrently, securing her PhD in economics at Harvard in 2012, and earning an Infectious Disease Fellowship at Mass General Brigham in 2013. The fellowship in particular aims to train leaders in the field of infectious diseases who ensure diversity, equity and inclusion remain on the front burner of their careers.
Her research has moved her from simply studying the effects of health care disparities, to more aggressively seeking solutions. Black men, for instance, have one of the lowest life expectancies of any major demographic group in the U.S. In her well-known 2019 paper published in the American Economic Review, Alsan and her research team outline a double-blind study they ran in Oakland, California to test out one strategy to reverse this disparity.
In Oakland, the team opened up a pop-up health clinic, recruiting Black men from nearby barber shops to be patients and hiring 14 doctors, half of them Black, half of them white. Patients were randomly assigned to each doctor for individual consultations every Saturday in an experiment that lasted 11 weeks. The researchers observed the extent to which patients advocated for their own preventative care, such as checking their blood pressure or getting a flu shot, from the patients.
The study found that Black patients were much more likely to opt for every preventative service available, particularly invasive services such as drawing blood for cholesterol readings, after meeting with a doctor. Alsan also concluded that consultation from a trusted medical source could possibly increase life expectancy for a Black man by as much as 1.5 years.
“While I wasn’t completely shocked by the results, it was pretty surprising to me just how unambiguous they were,” said Alsan.Unfortunately, Black Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, but only 4 percent of all U.S. physicians.
“We have to increase opportunities for people from non-traditional and low-income backgrounds,” said Alsan. “Medical school is very expensive. and the application process requires many steps and mandatory courses. We could lower the cost of tuition and provide much more advising and coursework for people who might not have had exposure to these careers.”
Alex Ortega, the director of the Center for Population Health and Community Impact at Drexel University, lauded the 2019 study results. He told The Daily Beast Alsan’s work echoes similar research he’s read on “how care improved when minority populations were matched with providers of the same race.”
But he would like this issue to be addressed beyond simply diversifying the health care workforce. “More needs to be done to bring equity into health care,” he said, “and we need major reform in health care to make that happen.”
Seeing that inequity play out in another area of health care research is core to one of Alsan’s next projects. “Historically Black patients have been underrepresented in clinical trials, either compared to the U.S. population or the burden of disease,” said Alsan. In a working paper that has yet to be circulated, Alsan and a team of others from Stanford and Harvard studied how doctors interpret clinical trials for medications that vary in the share of Black patients enrolled.
They found that the more doctors see Black patients enrolled in these trials, “the more responsive they are in terms of being willing to prescribe that medication to their patients,” said Alsan.
Visiting a doctor of the same race has an enormous impact on health care treatment for Black patients. As noted by Ryan Huerto, a family physician and lecturer at the University of Michigan, “Mounting evidence suggests when physicians and patients share the same race or ethnicity, this improves time spent together, medication adherence, shared decision-making, wait times for treatment, cholesterol screening, patient understanding of cancer risk, and patient perceptions of treatment decisions.”
Running parallel to this conclusion was another intriguing result: When Black patients were exposed to a drug trial that had a more representative share of Black participants, they viewed the drug more favourably than if there were very few Black participants. That means they could potentially be less skeptical about how that drug may work for them. When you see yourself represented in health care, you don’t feel on the outside looking in, wondering if a medication will actually work for someone of your background. “Representation in the trial definitely influences how patients perceive the efficacy of a drug,” said Alsan.
Her other project, the details of which have yet to be finalized, will focus on health care in U.S. prisons. “I’ll be looking to understand the challenges associated with providing health care in our nation's jails,” she said, “as well as how we can bring about an improved quality of health care there. Because there isn’t a lot of oversight on the level of care in these institutions.”
Inmates are often sicker than age-matched controls, with higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and HIV, Aslan noted. In a 2009 study, around 44 percent of jail inmates reported having or once having cancer, hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, or other chronic conditions—compared to 27 percent of the general population. Alsan, along with Harvard law professor Crystal Young, want to investigate how these disparities are occurring, and where the role of race and ethnicity situate in administering health care to jailed patients.
In the wake of new efforts to reverse racial and wealth disparities in public health, Alsan’s work has earned a particularly bright spotlight. Laura Scholl, the senior program officer for fellows at the MacArthur Foundation, told The Daily Beast Alsan was picked for the fellowship in great part because of her goal “to improve health outcomes for historically marginalized and mistreated populations. She is quantifying the need to diversify the medical profession in the starkest terms and demonstrating that physician workforce diversity is a key component of achieving better health outcomes for people of color.”
But can researchers like Alsan effectively study those disparities in health care interactions delivered by online video? Alsan’s research targets in-person patient-doctor relationships. But the rise of telehealth, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, means a greater number of people are meeting with their doctors remotely. In a 2021 global consumer survey from digital testing firm Applause, 63 percent of respondents who had used telehealth in the past plan to boost their use of such services even after the pandemic ends.
How does Alsan view the rise of telehealth and virtual physician visits? “What keeps me up at night,” she said “is that early adopters—meaning those who can afford it will enjoy this exciting technology. The opportunities for equity are profound, since telemedicine means cutting down on transportation and parking fees a patient can incur.
“But,” she said, “what about those who can’t afford these services? This is trending to be an elite service, and I hope that will be addressed at some point.”
When Alsan looked back at early signs she would dive into health care work focused on racial and economic disparities, she remembered a song her mother used to sing to her as a child: “We are made for service, to care for each other. We are made to love each sister and brother.” | https://www.thedailybeast.com/marcella-alsan-is-on-a-quest-to-reverse-racial-disparities-in-health-care | 2022-05-30T07:29:31Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/marcella-alsan-is-on-a-quest-to-reverse-racial-disparities-in-health-care | false | 2 |
Scaros: Media Reaches New Low, Suggests Trump Supported Hanging Mike Pence
When I wrote the book “Trumped-Up Charges!” in 2020, exposing as false ten of the most commonly repeated accusations against President Donald Trump, I knew there would be more to follow. But I never imagined the media would sink to such a new groundbreaking low.
I kid you not, this time they’re reporting that Trump supported hanging Mike Pence!
When the first clickbait headline hit my newsfeed, I decided to Google “Trump supports hanging Mike Pence” just to see the plethora of yellow journalism firsthand.
Ever the eager beaver to spread misinformation, CNN led the way with the headline, “Trump reacted with approval to ‘hang Mike Pence’ chants from rioters on January 6.”
Next up in my Google search was an article from Politico, with only the first eight words of the headline visible — “Trump expressed support for hanging Pence during Capitol” — the rest of the headline — “riot, Jan. 6 panel told” — accessible with an extra click.
That’s a nifty little trick by Politico and Google to feature the first part, which implies a statement of fact, and hide the second, which explains that this is a claim relayed to the Jan. 6 committee. At least Politico, unlike CNN, showed a smidgen of integrity by even including the explanatory clause.
Batting third, The Washington Post presented its headline somewhat more accurately: “Jan. 6 panel is told that Trump indicated support for hanging Pence during insurrection.”
But USA Today, which followed, one-upped Politico’s sleight of hand, with the link on Google reading, “Trump spoke approvingly of calls to hang Mike Pence on Jan. 6,” while the more appropriate headline, revealed upon an extra click, reads, “Jan. 6 committee was told that Trump spoke approvingly of calls to ‘Hang Mike Pence’: report.”
Is Google solely responsible for presenting the information so misleadingly, fully aware most people won’t bother to click the link for clarification, or is USA Today aware of it too and either approves of the chicanery or sits by idly and allows it to happen?
The breaking news — if you want to call it that — apparently originated in The New York Times, whose headline was the comparatively responsible “Trump Said to Have Reacted Approvingly to Jan. 6 Chants About Hanging Pence.” Nonetheless, the story itself is such a betrayal of sound journalism that it epitomizes why the Times long ago stopped deserving the title “newspaper of record.”
The article begins, “Shortly after hundreds of rioters at the Capitol started chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence!’ on Jan. 6, 2021, the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, left the dining room off the Oval Office, walked into his own office and told colleagues that President Donald J. Trump was complaining that the vice president was being whisked to safety.”
It is only later that we learn this “fact” was reported to the Times by two unnamed sources. These sources were presumably briefed on the Jan. 6 committee’s work and apparently told the Times that witnesses testifying before the committee said that Meadows said that “Trump had said something to the effect of, maybe Mr. Pence should be hanged.”
You know, like witnesses who testified to 2020 election fraud before investigative committees, whose claims these same media outlets dismissed in lockstep as “baseless.” Evidently, it’s OK to deem some unproven allegations credible and others not.
The article’s writers at least showed some modicum of professionalism by adding, “It is not clear what tone Mr. Trump was said to have used.”
Knowing Trump as we do, it shouldn’t surprise any of us if Trump said, privately and in jest, that maybe it’s not such a bad idea for Pence to be hanged, much like when friends or loved ones say to one another “I’m going to kill you!” without literally meaning it.
A more accurate headline, as the Times and its aforementioned copycats are well aware, would’ve been, “Sources Briefed by Jan. 6 Committee Say Witnesses Said Mark Meadows Said Trump Said Maybe Pence Should Be Hanged.”
Sure, that headline is too long, but more importantly, it’s not as juicy as one that purports that the then-sitting president of the United States supported, even encouraged, the hanging of the then-sitting vice president.
These outlets’ motive, beyond avarice, is that as much as they can’t stomach it, Trump continues to lead all Republican competitors for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination by wide margins, and if things remain the way they are, Republicans are more than likely to regain the White House.
What better way, then, to plant the seed for those susceptible but not yet infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome to be duped into believing that Trump actually approved of Pence’s execution by a lynch mob?
And yet these writers and editors will go back to work tomorrow morning as if they’ve done nothing wrong.

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stocks rose Monday after Wall Street rebounded from a seven-week string of declines and China eased anti-virus curbs on business activity in Shanghai and Beijing.
Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney advanced. Oil stayed above $110 per barrel.
On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 index finished Friday up 6.6% for its biggest weekly gain in 18 months after surging inflation declined in April. U.S. markets will be closed Monday for a holiday.
“Markets rallied into the long weekend, providing a positive tone at the start of this week,” ING economists said in a report.
The Shanghai Composite Index advanced 0.5% to 3,145.77 after more factories and shops in Beijing and Shanghai were allowed to reopen. Shanghai, China's commercial capital, announced tax breaks and subsidies to help businesses recover from a two-month shutdown.
The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo surged 2.3% to 27,382.03 and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong gained 1.9% to 21,093.21. The Kospi in South Korea advanced 1.2% to 2,668.31.
Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 was 1.4% higher at 7,2890.10.
India's Sensex opened up 2.1% at 56,025.84. New Zealand and Singapore gained while Indonesia retreated.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 2.5% on Friday to 4,158.24, propelled by gains for tech companies.
Investors were relieved after Commerce Department data showed U.S. inflation, which has prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, decelerated to 6.3% over a year earlier in April, its first decline in 17 months.
Markets are worried about whether the Fed can control inflation that is running at a four-decade high without tipping the biggest global economy into recession.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.8% to 33,212.96. The Nasdaq, dominated by tech stocks, gained 3.3% to 12,131.13.
The U.S. market has been in a slump for the past two months over fears about interest rate hikes that might slow economic activity, and the impact of Russia's war on Ukraine and a Chinese economic slowdown.
Crude oil prices are up nearly 60% this year due to fears about disruptions in supplies from Russia, the second-biggest global exporter. Wheat prices are up about 50% and corn prices are up 30%.
Disruptions in manufacturing and trade due to China's shutdown of Shanghai and other industrial cities to fight virus outbreaks also have added to inflation pressures.
More factories, shops and other businesses are allowed to reopen this week in Shanghai and in the Chinese capital, Beijing, after authorities declared outbreaks under control. The Shanghai city government promised rent and tax cuts, faster approvals for construction projects and more subsidies for electric car purchases.
In energy markets, benchmark U.S. crude rose 88 cents to $115.95 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the price basis for international oils, advanced 79 cents to $116.35 per barrel in London.

National Weather Service outlines possible hurricane threat in Caribbean
Published 5:36 pm Sunday, May 29, 2022
Eastern Pacific Hurricane Agatha is forecast to strengthen and impact southern Mexico over the next couple of days.
The remnants could move across the Yucatan and into the northwestern Caribbean, where the National Hurricane Center is highlighting a 30 percent chance of development later next week.
Weather officials said there is high degree of uncertainty regarding the evolution of this system when it interacts with the mountainous terrain of Mexico.
It is too early to provide details on any possible impacts, according to the National Weather Service.
However, it does seem like an east to northeastward motion across the Caribbean is expected to occur.
Regardless of tropical cyclone development, daily rain chances will increase across the area through the week, mainly due to seabreeze-type activity. | https://www.orangeleader.com/2022/05/29/national-weather-service-outlines-possible-hurricane-threat-in-caribbean/ | 2022-05-30T07:45:32Z | https://www.orangeleader.com/2022/05/29/national-weather-service-outlines-possible-hurricane-threat-in-caribbean/ | true | null |
