CAIRO (AP) — Egypt on Monday displayed a trove of ancient artifacts dating back 2,500 years that the country's antiquities authorities said were recently unearthed at the famed necropolis of Saqqara near Cairo.
The artifacts were showcased at a makeshift exhibit at the feet of the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, 24 kilometers (15 miles) southwest of the Egyptian capital.
According to Mostafa Waziri, head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, the find includes 250 painted sarcophagi with well-preserved mummies inside, as well as 150 bronze statues of ancient deities and bronze vessels used in rituals of Isis, the goddess of fertility in ancient Egyptian mythology, all from the Late Period, about 500 B.C.
A headless bronze statue of Imhotep, the chief architect of Pharaoh Djoser who ruled ancient Egypt between 2630 B.C. and 2611 B.C was also displayed.
The artifacts will be transferred for a permanent exhibit at the new Grand Egyptian Museum, a mega project still under construction near the famed Giza Pyramids, just outside Cairo.
The Saqqara site is part of a sprawling necropolis at Egypt’s ancient capital of Memphis that includes the Giza Pyramids and the smaller pyramids at Abu Sir, Dahshur and Abu Ruwaysh. The ruins of Memphis were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1970s.
Egypt has been heavily promoting recent archaeological finds, hoping to attract more tourists to the country. Its tourist sector, a major source of foreign currency, suffered from years of political turmoil and violence following the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
The sector has recently started to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, only to be hit again by the effects of Russia's war on Ukraine. Along with Russia, Ukraine is a major source of tourists visiting Egypt. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/article/Egypt-displays-trove-of-newly-discovered-ancient-17207604.php | 2022-05-30T12:50:14Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/article/Egypt-displays-trove-of-newly-discovered-ancient-17207604.php | false | 29 |

National theatre premieres ballet based on legend
Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Ballet dancers from the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB) will premier a full ballet that tells a tragic, legendary love story.
The ballet, entitled Ham Le Minh Chau, is the My Chau-Trong Thuy love story from the reign of An Duong Vuong, in the 3rd century BC.
Legend has it that Au Lac, as Vietnam was known more than years ago, was a kingdom where peace reigned. The king built a new citadel and got a magic crossbow to protect his kingdom. Princess My Chau fell in love with Trong Thuy, a son of Trieu Da, the lord of a rival state that bordered Au Lac in the north, and the two wedded.
After the wedding, Trong Thuy asked for the secret of the crossbow but My Chau declined at first. Eventually though, she revealed the secret and her kingdom was promptly attacked.
The king killed My Chau for her betrayal. In the end, the king who lost his country, and the prince who lost his wife, both committed suicide.
The ballet features the tragedy of the king’s daughter My Chau.
“It is difficult to stage this love in a ballet,” said celebrated ballet choreographer Nguyen Hong Phong.
“A big challenge for us is to make an impression on the audience with a combination of western ballet and music and an orient story. We hope that the ballet will enthral the audience in the debut.”
The ballet will use impressionism music written by Claude Debussy. The four-part ballet is an alternation of past and present between the love story of a modern couple and My Chau-Trong Thuy.
The ballet will star leading dancers Phan Luong and Thu Hang who play the two main roles.
Luong is currently the principal dancer at the theatre. He graduated from the Vietnam Dance School and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
He has performed leading roles in Vietnamese and foreign ballets such as Moi Tinh Thanh Co (Love in Citadel); Giselle, and Swan Lake. He participated in the Asian Dance Festival from 2012 to 2015 and was the only Vietnamese member of the Asian Dance Troupe in 2014.
Hang won gold medals at Indochina Art Festival 2014 and the 1st International Dance Festival in Hue city. At the VNOB, she has main roles in Swan Lake, Nutcracker and Giselle.
The ballet will feature artists of the VNOB with videos to be shown on Led and Gauze screens in front and behind the actors.
It will begin at 8pm on June 1 at Hanoi Opera House./. | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/national-theatre-premieres-ballet-based-on-legend/229404.vnp | 2022-05-30T12:56:35Z | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/national-theatre-premieres-ballet-based-on-legend/229404.vnp | true | 1 |
The testing and fine-tuning phases of the facelifted BMW X6 continue, with our spy photographers capturing yet another prototype in the open.
Truth be told, it looks almost the same as the one scooped earlier this month, but we actually missed one key aspect back then, otherwise highlighted now by our man with the cam. That would be the tailpipes, if you didn’t pay attention to the title, as they look very M60i-ish, or better said, identical to the ones equipping the range-topping version of the 2023 X7.
If we are indeed looking at the X6 M60i, then expect it to sit below the top-of-the-line X6 M. In all likelihood, it will make use of the same powertrain equipping its larger sibling, which combines the bi-turbo 4.4-liter V8, with a 48-volt system. In the X7 M60i, it pumps out 530 ps (523 hp / 390 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque, identical to the M50i it replaced. The 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) is roughly a 4.5-second affair.
Besides this assembly, the facelifted X6 is understood to launch with the usual mills, some of which might be updated. In the United States, look for gasoline units only, otherwise joined by a few diesels in Europe. The X6 M will still sit at the top of the family, with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, just like its predecessor, where it is good for 625 ps (616 hp / 460 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). The current one does the 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, maxing out at 250 kph (155 mph), or 290 kph (180 mph) if had with the optional M Driver’s Package.
In terms of visuals, looks for new front and rear ends, complete with bumpers, lighting units, and maybe new wheels, and colors. Inside, it should feature a new infotainment system, and maybe additional upholstery options. The unveiling might happen in the coming months, and by the time it arrives in the U.S., it could be a 2024 model.

The Netherlands have been forced to call up a replacement for Michael van Gerwen ahead of the World Cup of Darts after the Green Machine was ruled out with a wrist injury.
Van Gerwen has announced he has been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome – pressure on the nerves in the wrists which can cause tingling and numbness in the fingers and hand – and will undergo surgery the day after the Premier League play-offs in Berlin, shortly before the start of the World Cup in Frankfurt.
The three-time world champion intends to be back to 100 per cent fitness in time for the World Matchplay in Blackpool, which starts on July 16. Van Gerwen was due to partner Danny Noppert at the World Cup but his place will now go to Dirk van Duijvenbode, who has played at the tournament before, alongside MVG.
Van Duijvenbode is a larger-than-life character, who is known for one of the most intense walk-ons in the sport. The 30-year-old likes to sprint to the stage before gyrating to hardcore dance music in front of fans.
Away from darts, he leads a more gentile life and has worked on an aubergine farm since the age of 15. It’s a job he remains very passionate about, to such an extent he walked to the stage at the 2021 World Championship holding an aubergine. Sadly, as the tournament was played behind closed doors, fans couldn’t get a close-up view of the fruit (while aubergines are prepared as vegetables they are officially a fruit).
Can the Netherlands win the World Cup of Darts without Michael van Gerwen? Have your say in the comments section below.
Of course, being a professional sportsman as well requires an understanding boss – and Van Duijvenbode seems to have that as he has been allowed to put up a practice area at the office.
“Last year, when I got my Tour Card back, I spoke with my boss and I said ‘is it OK if I start practising at work?’,” he told the PDC in 2021.
The extra time to practice certainly helped as Van Duijvenbode reached the final of the World Grand Prix in 2020 and the quarter-finals at the last World Championship at the Alexandra Palace. He will now be hoping to make an impact alongside Noppert at the World Cup. | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/darts/darts-van-gerwen-duijvenbode-pdc-27101187 | 2022-05-30T13:01:07Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/darts/darts-van-gerwen-duijvenbode-pdc-27101187 | false | 1 |
Revealed: The top serious road crash hotspots in east London
- Credit: MPS
East London’s serious crash hotspots have been revealed, as new data shows the number of road traffic collisions (RTC) recorded in each borough last year.
Provisional figures from the Department for Transport reveal there were 2,050 RTCs - including deaths, serious injuries and minor casualties - across select east London boroughs during the first half of 2021.
This was more than the combined 1,698 crashes reported across Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets between January and June 2020, but fewer than the total of 2,330 in pre-Covid 2019.
The five-year, pre-Covid average for east London - based on the first six months of each year from 2015 to 2019 - is 2,326 RTCs.
By borough, the highest number of crashes from January to June 2021 was in Tower Hamlets with 518, though this was slightly fewer than the pre-Covid average in the borough of 530.
The next most was in Hackney, where there were 416 road casualties, followed by Newham with 393.
Redbridge had 286 crashes, there were 233 in Havering and 204 RTCs were reported in Barking and Dagenham. | https://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/news/east-london-boroughs-road-crash-hotspots-revealed-9001052 | 2022-05-30T13:01:34Z | https://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/news/east-london-boroughs-road-crash-hotspots-revealed-9001052 | true | 1 |
Love Island - the nation’s favourite dating show - returns for its eighth series a week today on Monday, June 6.
As always, speculation has been rife as to who will be taking part in the show.
From today, ITV will be confirming all those who will be jetting off to the villa for this series.
Ten contestants have already been revealed.
Who is the eleventh Love Island cast member?
The eleventh confirmed member of this year’s series is Luca Bish, a Fishmonger from Brighton.
The 23-year-old said: "When you actually look back at Love Island, you can see how many couples it’s genuinely made. I don’t know how many kids Love Island has made but there are a few aren’t there?
"I came out of a four-year relationship about a year ago. I was enjoying being in a relationship, there were just things I didn’t like and we drifted apart.
"I prefer to meet girls out and about. I think when you go looking for it, it’s not as easy though, it’s like you’re too desperate for it. If I think you’re the one or I like you, I’ll take you out on a date but other than that, if we talk and I don’t like where it’s going - then I won’t be throwing out dates."
Details of the 2022 Love Island cast will be released one by day throughout the day.
Love Island will return to our screens on Monday, June 6 at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's annual inflation rate accelerated to 7.9% in May, its highest level in nearly half a century, according to an official estimate Monday.
The Federal Statistical Office said year-on-year inflation jumped from 7.4% in April, with energy prices 38.3% higher than in May last year and food prices up 11.1%. Germany has Europe's biggest economy.
It is the highest inflation rate since the winter of 1973-1974, when an oil crisis also fueled higher prices. Inflation in Germany stood at an already high 5.1% in February and leapt above the 7% mark in March following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In month-on-month terms, the statistics office said prices were up 0.9% in May.
In a separate report on Monday, the office said that people's earnings in Germany were down 1.8% in real terms in this year's first quarter compared with a year earlier as a result of inflation, which more than offset a nominal increase of 4%.
In comments shortly before the latest inflation figure was released, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that “the top priority must be fighting inflation.”
“Inflation is an enormous economic risk and we must fight this inflation so that no economic crisis grows out of it, so that no spiral develops through which inflation feeds itself,” Lindner said. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/EGICSFK7TNG3HO5IALIS6PBD7M/ | 2022-05-30T13:07:46Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/EGICSFK7TNG3HO5IALIS6PBD7M/ | false | 30 |
COLUMBIA, S.C. — First known as "Decoration Day," the first official proclamation of the holiday was made in 1868 by an organization of Northern veterans which said that people should celebrate the day on May 30. It would remain on that exact date for almost 100 years.
In the 1880s, people began to refer to it as Memorial Day, and over time (particularly after World War I) that became the adopted standard. It wasn't until 1967, however, that federal law officially named it "Memorial Day."
A year later, Congress passed a measure which made the official observance of Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, rather than always on May 30.
We want to honor the true meaning of the day and it's within that spirit that News19 joins everyone across the nation in recognizing the sacrifice of America's fighting forces. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/national/military-news/memorial-day/101-6491ae5b-d7d7-4e8b-ba6c-4a1aede12096 | 2022-05-30T13:12:31Z | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/national/military-news/memorial-day/101-6491ae5b-d7d7-4e8b-ba6c-4a1aede12096 | false | null |

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has underscored the fact that Ghana will not need to look outside when it comes to dredging works.
Dredging activities in the country, he said, included dredging of dams, reservoirs, ports, harbours, land reclamation among others could be done effectively by local firms.
President Akufo-Addo made the observation while commissioning two new IHC Beaver 50 dredgers and marine equipment acquired to augment the fleet of DML at its parking yard at Adjei Kojo in Ashaiman, Accra on Wednesday.
According to him, Dredge Masters, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), for instance, who have acquired the two new ultra-modern IHC Beaver 50 dredgers and marine equipment had made huge and significant contributions in the dredging space of this country, adding that the company's introduction the ultra-modern dredgers "means that Ghana, within the West African market, had her own indigenous company which could dredge to a depth of 16 metres.
Dredging companies, he said, had traditionally contributed to coastal protection, stating that from 2017 and the government had invested an estimated GH¢450 million in various flood-control measures, all in an effort to end flooding in the capital city.
On the issue of climate change, the President admitted that it was already in Africa, noting that the citizenry was witnessing unprecedented floods in West Africa, depletion of large forests, vastly altered rain patterns that are threatening agriculture production and food security among others.
"All these are undermining Africa's ability to grow and develop to bring prosperity to its people," he said.
He tasked all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to ensure regular desilting of drains and gutters within their jurisdictions to allow for water to flow freely, especially when the country had entered the raining season.
He also urged MMDCEs to lead in the demolition of all unauthorised structures built along waterways saying, "Any MMDCE who fails to carry out this exercise across the country would be held accountable," he sternly warned.
The Minister for Works and Housing, Francis Asenso-Boakye, in a brief remark, applauded DML's contributions towards fighting flooding in Accra.
While admitting that flooding in Accra had become an annual ritual which continues to pose grave risks to lives and properties, he advised Ghanaians to desist from negative practices that further compound the phenomenon.
For his part, the Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiama, announced a very strong collaboration with DML to develop the Volta Lake to inure to the benefit of the people of the region and the country as a whole.
In his welcome address, the Executive Chairman of the JGC, Dr Joseph SiawAgyepong, indicated that the IHC Beaver 50 is ultra-modern dredging equipment, which is a top of the range equipment for dredging in the world.
He said the two beavers had come to augment the already existing fleet of DML.
"Dredge Masters Limited is introducing these Ultra-Modern IHC Built Cutter Suction Dredgers 5014/16 (Named Akua Boahenmaa and Abena Ayinfua) and associated Marine equipment which bring the capability of dredging up to 16 meters deep and the capacity to carry out large scale reclamation."
The total investment by the company in all marine equipment stands at 54 million Euros," he revealed.
According to Dr Siaw Agyepong, Dredge Masters Limited started with the acquisition of four ultra-modern amphibious dredgers from Aquamec.
"These dredgers along with long boom excavators, barges and earth moving equipment dredged from Odaw Channel to the Korle lagoon (from Caprice to the sea) to restore hydrological capacity of the channel. The fleet has been augmented with two more amphibious dredgers, long booms and other equipment over the years. Today, we have over 70 units of various dredging equipment," he further disclosed. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205300572.html | 2022-05-30T13:21:01Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202205300572.html | false | 2 |

The big idea
Belonging to one or more groups with long-standing social and economic disadvantages increases the risk of cancer diagnoses and death, according to our review of 28 cancer studies published between 2012 and 2021.
People who were both nonwhite and LGBTQ received fewer cancer prevention services and had fewer cancer screenings, we found, for example.
We started by searching for studies of groups with poor cancer outcomes. Then we narrowed our focus to cancer studies that specified the race, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, disability status or rural residency of study participants. We found just 28 that provided such information. We classified those studies according to the aspect of cancer care they covered. Some studies, for example, were about cancer screening and prevention, while others focused on treatment.
Most of the studies focused on what people did to prevent cancer or to check for it. Examples include getting mammograms or a human papilloma virus vaccine. And we found some studies that were about specific kinds of cancer, like cervical or breast.
We found that sexual orientation and race influenced whether women chose to get screened for cancer or to take preventive treatments. Nonwhite women of low socioeconomic status also had lower cancer survival rates. We saw that these patients experienced fears of discrimination, a general discomfort with health care providers and more distrust of the health care system.
Why it matters
Despite advances in detection and treatment, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States. And in communities with long-standing social and economic disadvantages, the risk of cancer diagnoses and death is higher than in the general population.
For example, Black women are more likely than white women to die of breast cancer. New diagnoses of prostate cancer occur more frequently in rural Appalachia, compared with urban areas in the same region. And bisexual women are 70% more likely to get a cancer diagnosis, compared with heterosexual women.
Cancer care research usually overlooks the multiple identities of individual patients. But most people have more than one social identity, and those identities are hard to separate from one another. For example, a gay Black man is not gay one day and Black the next; he’s both, all the time. And he has different experiences of discrimination and disadvantage compared with a straight Black man.
Intersectionality describes the recognition and consideration of a person’s multiple, intersecting social identities. Taking these multiple identities into consideration could help improve cancer prevention and survival among those who belong to one or more historically disadvantaged groups.
What still isn’t known
We did not look at lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking, that could increase the risk of getting cancer and contribute to poorer cancer treatment outcomes. However, cancer disparities based on lifestyle behaviors are well documented, and it would be valuable to look at how complex identities and lifestyle affect those outcomes.
As researchers we wanted to focus on identifying studies in the literature that focused on the interconnected, multiple ways patients self-identify and how this related to their health care. Unfortunately, only a small amount of data was available, and our current report suffered from these limitations.
What’s next
Our paper describes ways for scientists to take patients’ multiple identities into account when doing cancer research. This model includes recommendations for setting up studies, conducting the research itself and documenting the findings. Considering more complex patient identities could make future studies more consistent and understandable. It will help fill some large gaps we’re seeing in how researchers study cancer.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (STACKER) -Americans on the whole were doing well financially heading into 2020, with major markers like unemployment reaching 50-year lows. The pandemic changed all that: During the second quarter of the 2020 fiscal year, our nation’s real GDP fell by a whopping 31.4%, a number that hasn’t been seen since the Great Depression. As the economy makes its comeback, things are still a far cry from the way they were in 2019.
One marker that has sped far past its 2019 position is that of income inequality in the United States. Low-wage industries were decimated by the pandemic, leaving millions without work or in positions they were overqualified for. Meanwhile, nearly one in five households across the United States earn less than $25,000 a year, while more than 6% have an annual income that falls below $10,000.
Where you live can make a big impact on your financial situation. Stacker compiled a list of the lowest-earning counties in Vermont using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Counties are ranked by the Census’ 2019 5-year estimate median household income. Keep reading to see where people in your state are making the least.

A boater was reported missing after going into the water at Candlewood Lake in Brookfield Sunday night and the search will resume Monday morning, officials said.
Keith Williams, captain of DEEP Conservation Police, said they are looking for a 24-year-old Bristol man who was on a pontoon boat with several of his friends. They have not identified the man.
DEEP is gathering information on what happened and said this is a recovery mission.
Brookfield police said their dive team responded to the area of Candlewood Inn around 7:30 p.m. after they received a report that a boater jumped into the water and did not resurface.
The dive team dove in two different areas where they believed the missing boater could be. After not finding anyone and unsafe dive conditions, they turned to sonar technology.
No one was located and operations were suspended until 8 a.m. Monday, police said.
Local
Brookfield police said the Connecticut State Police took over sonar operators and Brookfield police would resume the search Monday.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said in addition to DEEP EnCon, Danbury Fire, Candlewood Lake Authority, Brookfield Police, Danbury Police, and the state police dive team all assisted.
Boaters are asked to avoid the area of Candlewood Inn/Brookfield Bay as dive operations are underway searching for a missing swimmer.
Emergency officials urge people to wear a life jacket while on the water.
Williams warned that while the weather is warm, the water is still very chilly.

GENEVA, May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The SELUTION SLR (Sustained Limus Release) is a novel sirolimus-eluting balloon that provides a controlled sustained drug release, similar to a drug-eluting stent (DES). SELUTION SLR was also the first DEB (Drug Eluting Balloon) granted "breakthrough device designation" by the FDA on March 4, 2019 and further in September 25, 2019 for below-the-knee (BTK) indications in peripheral artery disease.
This is a major milestone for MedAlliance. We have been able to successfully complete the bench and pre-clinical testing required by the FDA and are ready to begin enrolling US patients in a clinical study to support submission for FDA PMA approval. We are delighted that US patients may also benefit from this "Breakthrough technology", commented Jeffrey B. Jump MedAlliance Chairman and CEO.
MedAlliance will begin enrollment in the Below-the-knee (BTK) IDE Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) SELUTION4BTK (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05055297) immediately outside of US (OUS) and early this summer in US centers. Principal investigators of the study are Doctors Ehrin Armstrong (US), Marianne Brodmann (Austria), and Tjun Tang (Singapore).
SELUTION SLR was awarded CE Mark Approval for the treatment of peripheral artery disease in February 2020. The device has shown early promising clinical results in treatment of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) and below-the-knee artery disease. In the PRESTIGE study which was presented as a late breaking trial at the VIVA 2021 congress by Dr Tjun Tang, use of SELUTION SLR in complex BTK lesions resulted in sustained safety and efficacy outcomes out to 18 months. An additional 75 patients with BTK disease and SELUTION SLR treatment have been studied in the PRISTINE registry and the results are scheduled to be presented at LINC 2022. Based on the early promising data following the use of SELUTION SLR in treatment of BTK disease, MedAlliance has moved forward with the design of the SELUTION4BTK RCT to further investigate the safety and efficacy of this device and prepare for US FDA approval.
SELUTION SLR's technology involves unique MicroReservoirs made from biodegradable polymer intermixed with the anti-restenotic drug sirolimus. These MicroReservoirs provide controlled and Sustained Limus Release (SLR) of the drug. Extended release of sirolimus from stents has been demonstrated highly efficacious in both coronary and peripheral vasculatures. MedAlliance's proprietary CAT™ (Cell Adherent Technology) enables the MicroReservoirs to be coated onto balloons and adhered to the vessel lumen when delivered via an angioplasty balloon.
SELUTION SLR is available in Europe and all other countries where the CE Mark is recognized.

‘Jazz’ back in the lineup for the Marlins
After missing four games, Bahamian infielder with the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB) Jasrado ‘Jazz’ Chisholm Jr. was back in action yesterday, starting at second base and batting second in the lineup.
The Bahamian professional baseball player, who is having a breakout second season in the majors, went hitless in five at-bats yesterday and struck out twice. The Marlins lost to the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia, 6-3, and dropped the weekend series two games to one. They will stay on the road to face the Colorado Rockies in a three-game series starting today.
About a week ago, Chisholm was pulled from the lineup, in a game against the Braves at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida, suffering from tightness in his left hamstring. The injury proved not to be extreme, and Chisholm avoided any extended time in the injured list.
On Sunday, Chisholm went hitless in five at-bats for the first time this season in a single game. He is still among the league leaders in a number of offensive categories.
The 24-year-old Bahamian is batting .279 with seven home runs, 27 RBIs (runs batted in) and 21 runs scored. He has an on-base percentage (OBP) of .329, a slugging percentage (SLG) of .558, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of .887. Chisholm also has six stolen bases, possibly on his way to a 30-30 season.
Defensively, Chisholm has 60 putouts and 80 assists in 143 total chances this season. He has helped turn 17 double plays and has a fielding percentage of .979. The Marlins’ leadoff hitter is still well on his way to his first career MLB All-Star selection.
On Sunday, for the first time since May 4, the left-handed hitting Chisholm batted out of somewhere other than the leadoff spot, and it wasn’t a good experience for him.
In his first at-bat, in the top of the first inning, Chisholm flew out to Braves’ right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. The Marlins’ next batter, Jorge Soler, homered to give them an early lead, but the Braves responded with two runs in the bottom of the first inning and they never looked back.
In Chisholm’s second at-bat, in the top of the third, he grounded into a force play which was fielded by Braves’ shortstop Dansby Swanson, recording the out at second. Chisholm struck out swinging in his third at-bat in the top of the fifth. He grounded out to Braves’ relief pitcher Jackson Stephens in his fourth at-bat in the top of the seventh, and then struck out swinging to end the game in the top of the ninth.
The Bahamian is now back in the lineup and is looking to produce. He spent time on the injured list four times in his first full season in the majors in 2021 – his longest due to a left hamstring strain at the beginning of May 2021, missing 16 games.
Chisholm has bounced back and is having a strong second full season in the majors. He is proving that he is among the best second basemen in the league and is expected to receive a significant number of votes for this year’s MLB all-star game which is set for July 19 at Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, California.
As for the Marlins, they have now dropped seven of their last nine games and are in fourth in the National League East Division in the majors. They sport a 19-26 win/loss record, 10 and a half games behind the front-running New York Mets (31-17). The World Series Champions Braves are second in that division at 23-25 and the Philadelphia Phillies are third at 21-26. The Washington Nationals bring up the rear in that division with a 18-31 record.
The Marlins will now face the Rockies in a three-game series before turning to LoanDepot Park in Miami for four games against the San Francisco Giants next weekend. Bahamian Antoan Richardson, a former major leaguer, is a first-base coach with the Giants. | https://thenassauguardian.com/jazz-back-in-the-lineup-for-the-marlins/ | 2022-05-30T13:29:15Z | https://thenassauguardian.com/jazz-back-in-the-lineup-for-the-marlins/ | false | 1 |
STOCKHOLM, May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RhoVac AB ("RhoVac"), a Swedish cancer immunotherapy company, regrets to announce today on May 29th, 2022, that its phase IIb study in prostate cancer, BRaVac, in spite of the previous positive results related to the compound, failed to demonstrate RV001 (onilcamotide) superiority over placebo in preventing progression in patients with biochemical recurrence (a rise in PSA) after curative intent therapy. Progression was defined as either a doubling of PSA, clinical recurrence, or death. RhoVac will undertake a more thorough analysis of the results, and a clear plan on how to proceed will be communicated end June. The primary outcome analysis, however, regrettably offers little hope of a license or acquisition deal based on the results of this study alone.
RhoVac started the clinical phase IIb trial (BRaVac) with the company's drug candidate, RV001 (onilcamotide) late 2019, in prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence (a rise in PSA) after curative intent therapy. Positive phase I/II data offered significant hope, and in November of 2020, RhoVac was awarded Fast Track Designation by the FDA for its drug candidate in this cancer indication. The objective of the BRaVac study was to show that onilcamotide could significantly prevent or delay disease progression in these patients, something for which no standard therapy is available today. Interim safety reviews have been conducted, and no unexpected adverse events have been identified, and the end trial results also confirm the anticipated safety of the drug candidate.
On efficacy however, BRaVac, the first placebo controlled study of the drug candidate, failed to deliver on its primary endpoint, which was to demonstrate drug candidate superiority over placebo in reducing the risk of progression, and the primary results did not indicate any significant finding on improved outcomes for the studied patients. RhoVac will now undertake a more thorough analysis of the study results, but the primary outcome analysis obviously offers little hope of a license or acquisition deal based on the results of this study alone. RhoVac will now execute on a cost minimisation contingency plan, while conducting further analyses of the results, aiming to come up with clear recommendations on the future of the project and next steps end June.
RhoVac CEO, Anders Månsson, comments: "Even though we know that benchmarks state that the probability of success for a phase II project in oncology is less than 50% and that clinical development is always a calculated risk, we are surprised and deeply saddened to find that BRaVac failed to meet its primary endpoint. We will immediately minimise expenditure, while further assessing the study data, with the aim of coming up with firm recommendations on how to proceed, and to communicate this end June."

VANCOUVER, BC, May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Silverton Metals Corp. (TSX-V: SVTN, OTCQB: SVTNF) ("Silverton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with Zapata Exploration Ltd. ("Zapata") and 0924682 B.C. Ltd. ("0924682") to acquire the Margaritas Gold-Silver Property ("Margaritas") by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of Zapata's Mexican Subsidiary, Impulsora De Proyectos Mineros, S.A. De C.V. ("Impulsora"). The Margaritas Gold Property consists of two concessions totalling 500 hectares located in the state of Durango, Mexico.
Highlights of Margaritas Gold Property:
- Underexplored, high-grade epithermal gold-silver deposit hosted in productive volcanic rocks of the Sierra Madre Occidental.
- Gold grades include 73.7 g/t in dump samples and 31.6 g/t in rock chip channel samples with silver grades between 1 to 38 g/t.
- Vein is exposed for 3.5 km along strike and 240 meters along the vertical.
- Artisanal production exists but the vein has never been drilled.
John Theobald, President and CEO commented, "We are very excited about the Margaritas acquisition as it contains a high-grade gold vein open in all directions with visible gold and the potential to be a bonanza-grade deposit. Both the environmental permit application and community agreement process have already commenced, which have given the company a head start on the exploration of the project. Favourable topography facilitates drilling and or tunnelling and eventually would also facilitate underground mining. The simple mineralogy suggests that the gold could be easily extracted by gravity and leaching methods. We plan to rehabilitate roads, refine mapping and sampling, and get the project ready for drilling before the end of the year."
Margaritas Gold Property
The Margaritas Gold Property consists of two concessions, Margaritas and Ampliacion las Margaritas, that cover a total of 500 hectares located in the southwestern corner of the State of Durango, Mexico.
Channel rock chip sampling by the previous operator report gold grades between 0.01 and 31.6 g/t and between 0.7 and 73.7 g/t in dump samples. Silver grades vary between detection limit (<0.2 g/t) and 38 g/t in both dump and rock-chip channel samples. Visible gold has been found in pits, trenches and dumps located along the central part of the vein.
The deposit is a gold dominant low-sulphidation epithermal system similar to productive deposits such as La Cienega, and Bacis in Durango, located 250 kilometers northwest of Margaritas. The mineralization at the Margaritas Gold-Silver Property consists of native gold and accessory silver, and gangue of silica, clays, and traces of pyrite, contained in a quartz vein controlled by a fault and fractures hosted in Tertiary rhyolites of the productive Sierra Madre Occidental. The vein has been mapped along strike for 3,500 meters; on surface the vein averages a meter wide and has a maximum width of 4 metres. Vein walls exhibit hydrothermal alteration halos that are potentially mineralized. A 2-meter-wide sample, for example, in argillized rock in the footwall of the vein, reported 1 g/t Au.
Terms of Transaction
In order to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Impulsora, the Company has agreed to issue 750,0000 common shares (the "Consideration Shares") and grant a net smelter return royalty of 0.5%, which may be repurchased at a price of US $250,000. Zapata and 0924682 are a private company controlled by Chris Osterman and Raul Diaz-Unzueta.
Impulsora originally acquired its interest in the Margaritas Property pursuant to the terms of transfer of mining concessions and assignment of rights agreement, as amended (the "Underlying Agreement"). Under the terms of the Underlying Agreement, the Margaritas Property is subject to a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty, which may be repurchased for US $320,000 (of which US $120,000 has been paid). The remaining US $200,000 must be paid as follows: US $100,000 plus VAT on April 25, 2023 and US $100,000 plus VAT on April 25, 2024. If Impulsora does not commence commercial production or repurchase the royalty by April 25, 2024, the original owner may repurchase the Margaritas Property for $1.
Closing of the acquisition is subject to satisfying certain customary conditions and the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Gunmen have kidnapped the prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, police said Monday, in an incident that once again mirrors the troubling security challenges in the West African nation.
His Eminence Samuel Kanu Uche was kidnapped Sunday along a highway in the Umunneochi area in Nigeria's southeastern Abia state, police spokesperson Geoffrey Ogbonna told The Associated Press. Two other senior clerics with him were also taken hostage.
Nigeria’s southeast has in recent years grappled with violent attacks and abductions often blamed on unknown gunmen. Authorities have accused members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, a leading separatist group, of being behind many of the attacks.
There has been no word yet from the kidnappers, Ogbonna said, adding that “we are making efforts” to rescue him and the two other captives.
The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) condemned the kidnapping and called on Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to “give an express order to the security agencies to free them immediately and stop the incessant abduction of clerics and other innocent Nigerians.”
“If a great servant of God of Uche’s caliber could be kidnapped like a three-year-old baby on a major road without any resistance from the police, it speaks volumes of what our security architecture has become,” the Christian association said.
Other political and religious leaders have also called for the release of the prelate and many others in captivity in Nigeria, where abductions for ransoms have been a worrying trend.
“This is no more a country one can be proud of," said Adebayo Oladeji with CAN. “No reasonable government can continue to leave the citizens in a terrible state of insecurity as we are presently.” | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Prelate-of-Nigeria-Methodist-church-abducted-in-17207674.php | 2022-05-30T13:35:32Z | https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Prelate-of-Nigeria-Methodist-church-abducted-in-17207674.php | true | 32 |
Sidhu Moose Wala: The murdered Indian rapper who 'made sense of chaos'
By Zoya Mateen
BBC News, Delhi
- Published
Ni ehda uthuga jawani ch janaja mithiye (The funeral will happen in youth).
This is a line from Indian rapper Sidhu Moose Wala's latest track, The Last Ride. The song, which was released in May - and has gathered over 10 million views on YouTube since - features the iconic crime scene where American rapper Tupac was murdered in his BMW in 1996.
"Many hated him, and many died wanting him...everything is revealed in the eyes of the young boy," Moose Wala cackles in the music video, which is shot in slick monochrome tones.
On Sunday, in an ominous turn of events, Moose Wala met the same fate. The 28-year-old singer was driving near his village in Punjab state on Sunday when he was shot dead by unidentified attackers.
Crazy how life works sometimes

Moosewala had just dropped "The Last Ride"

Things have moved fast since then.
The murder has whipped up a political storm in the state, with opposition leaders criticising the government. The state police claimed that a Canada-based gangster had claimed responsibility for the attack. Moose Wala's family has denied this and criticised the police for not doing its job properly. In the middle of all this, protests erupted in several parts of the state as the singer's fans and supporters took to the streets, prompting the government to appeal for calm. The state's chief minister has now ordered a high court-level investigation into the case.
For Moose Wala's millions of fans though, the tragedy is deeply personal.
In four years of his career, the 28-year-old rapper became one of the most ubiquitous faces of Punjab's fertile hip-hop scene. His voice blares from DJ turntables at Delhi's flamboyant parties, rickety stereos at tea stalls in rural India and - as a colleague from BBC Punjabi told me - every possible radio channel in Punjab.
And he made it big in every sense. His songs, which he wrote and composed, racked up more than 5bn views, made it to the Top 5 in the UK charts last year, and he was also featured among the best new artists of 2020 in The Guardian. He had millions of fans around the world, especially in Canada which has a sizeable diaspora population.
"He had an aura of edginess around him," says Noor Sethi, 27, an event stylist in Delhi. "He also had a very distinct rapping style that captured the nuances of life in Punjab."
Punjabis will be unpacking and processing this for years to come.

Born as Subhdeep Singh Sidhu in Moosa village in Mansa district, the singer studied engineering from Punjab and moved to Canada in 2016. The next year, he released his first track "So High" under the name Moose Wala. The singer has since become a household name in Punjab and among Sikhs in Canada and UK.
Drawing heavily from the genre of gangster rap, his music was a jumble of gritty opulence - measured in guns and fancy sports cars - as he made sense of life around him. His songs offered unvarnished commentary on the dark underbelly of the rural heartland, where drugs, crime and corruption often make headlines.
Rap music is a genre that often has lyrical expressions of revenge. And Moose Wala was no exception to this trend. Jealousy of his rivals was also an overarching theme in his music, which was best captured in the smash hit Jatt da Mukabla: "Don't flutter so high, you birds, for if I want, I can buy the sky."
But Moose Wala was as controversial as popular. Since the news of his death broke on Sunday evening, heaps have been said about the singer's legacy.
The actor often ran into trouble with the law. In May 2020, he was booked for firing an AK-47 rifle at a shooting range during the Covid lockdown. He also had a police case against him for allegedly promoting violence and gun culture through his song, Sanju. And a cursory glance at his Instagram profile would reveal his affinity for guns.
The singer was never convicted for any of the alleged crimes, but critics have routinely called him out for normalising violence.
Fans say that Moose Wala was merely confronting the dark truths about modern life and holding up a mirror to society. "He was just making sense of the chaos, whether it was corruption, violence or the gun problem in Punjab," one fan said. "And that contribution in itself is valuable."
Moose Wala's music has meant different things to different people. Some say they admired him for the "courage and I-don't-care attitude" that was evident in his songs. Others liked the way he added English words to his Punjabi songs, which gave it a contemporary sheen.
"His simple and colloquial style of writing made it easy to understand for his audiences. Also, we loved the way he answered his critics through his songs," 27-year-old Niyamat Singh, one of his fans, told BBC Punjabi.
Mr Singh is particularly fond of the track 295, in which the singer delivers a strong-worded commentary on the shrinking scope for dissent in the country. The song's title is a reference to Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code which deals with "injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class".
"Every day there will be controversy with someone or the other. There will be a debate in the name of religions. If you speak the truth, you will get 295 (section) And if the son progresses, he will get hate," Moose Wala sings in the track.
Mr Singh told BBC Punjabi that he loves the way the singer "says what it is".
Ms Sethi remembers a concert Moose Wala did at an upmarket Delhi hotel a few months ago. "People from every walk of life came to see him perform. The excitement was so high that people were willing to pay extra money just to get a glimpse of him," she says.
Fans also credit him for baptising hip-hop - which until recently clung to the fringes of popular culture in South Asia - as a mainstream genre. His songs were hugely popular not just in India but across the subcontinent, and especially among the Punjabi speaking population in Pakistan.
Sidhu Moosewala had promised to come to Pakistan this year with the first concert in Lahore and the second in Islamabad.

In 2021, he decided to enter politics. He contested elections as a candidate for India's principal opposition, the Congress party, in the 2022 Punjab assembly elections. Although he lost, his popularity as a "people's leader" continued to grow. He was especially invested in the betterment of his village. "That is why I chose to be known not by my name but by that of my village," he would tell people during his political rallies.

Imphal, May 30: A labourer from West Bengal died and four others were injured after unidentified miscreants triggered a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) at a community hall in Manipur's Thoubal district in the early hours of Monday, police said.
The labourers, all hailing from West Bengal, were asleep when the explosion took place at Khongjom area, they said.
"Pankaj Mahato (21) from Khariatabad succumbed to his injuries at the Thoubal district hospital. All the four were engaged in the construction of a water tank at the community hall," a police officer said.
The injured, undergoing treatment in hospital, have been identified as Aroop Mandal (30), Souvik Patra (18), Apoorva Mondal (25) and Rajesh Ramaanik (19).
Further investigation is underway, police said. | https://assamtribune.com/north-east/labourer-from-bengal-killed-4-injured-in-suspected-ied-blast-in-manipur-1371894 | 2022-05-30T13:35:44Z | https://assamtribune.com/north-east/labourer-from-bengal-killed-4-injured-in-suspected-ied-blast-in-manipur-1371894 | false | null |
After painful rebuild, Tigers still stuck in neutral
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Detroit TigersLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
After an encouraging second half in 2021, the Detroit Tigers were significant spenders last offseason for the first time in a while. It hasn't yet worked out like they hoped.
Javier Báez (six years, $140 million) is hitting .194. Eduardo Rodriguez (five years, $77 million) has one win in eight starts with a 4.38 ERA.
Detroit hasn't made the postseason since 2014, and the Tigers are reaching the point where they should expect their rebuild to pay dividends. It's not happening this season, so far. The team is 17-29, 11 games out of first place in the AL Central.
Detroit started slowly last season too, but when a 9-24 mark eventually turned into a respectable 77-win season, it seemed the worst might be behind the Tigers. An anemic offense has prevented Detroit from building on that. The Tigers have been held to two or fewer runs 24 times already, going 2-22 in those games.
Of the six hitters with the most at-bats for Detroit this year, five of them are hitting below .200. That includes Spencer Torkelson, the top pick in the 2020 draft. Detroit also has Casey Mize, the No. 1 pick in 2018, but the right-hander has made only two starts in 2022 because of elbow problems.
If there's an obvious bright spot for Detroit, it's been the performance of 25-year-old lefty Tarik Skubal, who is 3-2 with a 2.44 ERA, 55 strikeouts and just nine walks. He's one young prospect who seems to be panning out nicely for the Tigers.
REBOUND
After losing 22 of their first 25 games, the Cincinnati Reds have won 13 of their last 22. That's not enough to climb out of last place, but two teams — Pittsburgh and Kansas City — now have a worse run differential than Cincinnati.
The Reds helped themselves in that department by clobbering the Chicago Cub s 20-5 on Thursday.
TURNING POINT?
Toronto's run differential is still below zero at minus-1, but the Blue Jays have now won five games in a row to pull within 5 1/2 games of the AL East-leading Yankees. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered off Shohei Ohtani on Thursday night, but he was also scratched from Sunday's game because of a sore wrist. He's hitting just .256 with nine homers and 24 RBIs this season.
Still, the Blue Jays have scored 35 runs during this winning streak and are starting to resemble the team that was expected to be a real threat in the American League this year.
TRIVIA TIME
Who are the only teams with a lower batting average this season than Detroit's .220?
LINE OF THE WEEK
Joc Pederson — who was in the news for other reasons later in the week — had three home runs and eight RBIs in San Francisco's 13-12 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Pederson hit a tying single with two outs in the ninth, and the Giants eventually won the game that inning.
New York's Francisco Lindor homered, tripled and had six RBIs in that same game.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
That wild Mets-Giants clash could have certainly qualified — no matter which team prevailed. New York had a 0.7% chance to win, according to Baseball Savant, in the seventh inning while trailing 8-2. Then the Mets scored two runs that inning and seven in the eighth, and in the bottom of the eighth New York's win probability peaked at 96.1%. Then the Giants rallied for the victory.
But the comeback of the week goes to the Baltimore Orioles, who also trailed 8-2 in the seventh and had a 0.9% chance to win at Boston. The Orioles scored three runs in both the seventh and eighth and four more in the ninth, and unlike the Mets, they held on for a 12-8 win.
TRIVIA ANSWER
Arizona (.217) and Oakland (.215).

European unity against Russia tested as talks on oil embargo drag on
By Anna Cooban and James Frater, CNN Business
Europe’s united front against Moscow is being put to the test as countries struggle to agree a ban on Russian oil imports.
European Union diplomats failed to reach consensus Sunday on the terms of an embargo, but were holding further talks Monday in a bid to present a deal for approval by EU leaders at a summit later in the day.
A senior EU diplomat told CNN that the bloc was “in the last stretch” of agreeing the terms of an oil embargo, but needed more time to convince some member states, including Hungary, to come on board.
“We do understand their special situation, we do understand their security of supply problem, we do understand their search for assurances to be able to solve that,” the diplomat said.
European officials first proposed joining the United States and others in banning Russia’s oil a month ago as part of a sixth package of EU sanctions over the country’s invasion of Ukraine. But an agreement has been held up by the reluctance of some countries that are particularly reliant on Russian crude delivered via pipeline.
EU leaders could agree to ban all Russian oil by the end of this year, but provide a temporary exemption to imports via pipeline, according to a draft of the summit conclusions viewed by Reuters. An EU official told CNN that banning all seaborne oil would cover more than two-thirds of imports from Russia.
Europe is the biggest buyer of Russian energy. Russian crude accounted for 27% of the bloc’s imports in 2021, according to Eurostat. That’s around 2.4 million barrels per day, data from the International Energy Agency shows. About 35% of that was delivered via pipelines to the bloc, according to the IEA.
But pipeline deliveries made up a much bigger share of Russian oil shipments to Hungary (86%), the Czech Republic (97%) and Slovakia (100%).
Earlier this month, Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó likened the EU’s proposals for a complete ban on Russian oil to an “atomic bomb” for his country’s economy. Its government has previously said it would need a minimum of three to five years to cease all imports.
Care must be taken, however, to ensure any exemptions do not unfairly benefit some countries over others, the senior EU diplomat told CNN.
“We have to be really careful in the legal sanctions text, that we preserve the [EU] internal market everywhere, and that we preserve the level playing field,” the diplomat said.
Europe has thus far maintained a united front against Russia over the war in Ukraine, imposing round after round of economic sanctions, which included an embargo of its coal imports. It is also aiming to slash imports of Russian natural gas by 66% by the end of this year.
But cracks have started to appear in recent weeks as soaring inflation and sluggish growth batter Europe’s economies.
“I am very worried about what a recession in Europe would do to European resolve to stick with it and continue to escalate the sanctions,” Jason Furman, a Harvard professor who previously served as President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser, told CNN Business at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week.

German inflation rate hits highest level since early 1970s
BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 7.9% in May, its highest level in nearly half a century, according to an official estimate. The Federal Statistical Office said Monday that year-on-year inflation jumped from 7.4% in April, with energy prices 38.3% higher than in May last year and food prices up 11.1%. It is the highest inflation rate since the winter of 1973-1974, when an oil crisis also fueled higher prices. Inflation in Germany stood at 5.1% in February and leapt above the 7% mark in March following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In month-on-month terms, the statistics office said prices were up 0.9% in May. | https://kesq.com/news/2022/05/30/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/ | 2022-05-30T13:39:46Z | https://kesq.com/news/2022/05/30/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/ | false | null |

While Congress had backed Mann on this issue, Moosewala’s killing has given it a fresh handle with leaders saying it exposes the fragile law and order situation in the state.
Soon after the public sacking of Punjab health minister and Mansa MLA Vijay Singla for alleged corruption, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government headed by Bhagwant Singh Mann finds itself in another political firestorm over the killing of popular singer Shubhdeep Singh Moosewala, days after it withdrew his security cover.
Coming a month after the violence in Patiala between workers of a Shiv Sena faction and alleged pro-Khalistan activists, and weeks after a rocket attack on the Punjab Police’s intelligence headquarters in Mohali, Moosewala’s killing gives more ammunition to the Opposition that has been accusing the AAP government of political inexperience. Slogans against the Mann government rent the air as Moosewala’s body reached the hospital at Mansa, the heart of Malwa belt of Punjab where AAP swept 66 of the 69 Assembly seats in the elections held earlier this year.
As police chief Viresh Kumar Bhawra called it the result of an inter-gang rivalry, the spotlight is once again on the law and order situation in the state. Police investigations into the blast at the Mohali intelligence headquarters point to a growing nexus among gangsters, terror elements and forces from across the border, which doesn’t bode well for a state that spent a decade in the shadow of militancy not very long ago.
The withdrawal of security to a large number of priests and heads of deras on Saturday — the police said it was done to beef up forces in the run-up to the Operation Bluestar anniversary on June 6 — left the government with egg on the face when Akal Takht acting Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh, whose security was first withdrawn and then restored, all in the space of a day, rebuffed the government. The move came days after Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann took to social media to chide Giani Harpreet Singh, head of the temporal seat of the Sikhs, for suggesting that they should get arms licences.
While Congress had backed Mann on this issue, Moosewala’s killing has given it a fresh handle with leaders saying it exposes the fragile law and order situation in the state.
Congress leaders called it a political killing, with state Congress chief Raja Amrinder Warring demanding the registration of an FIR against the DGP and SSP Mansa, alleging they were part of the conspiracy to eliminate Moosewala.
Leader of Opposition Partap Bajwa called for the resignation of the CM, since he also holds the Home portfolio.
Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal asked whether “the cheaply populist decision to withdraw Moosewala’s security’’ was responsible for the tragedy.

While it is tempting for the government to dismiss this killing as one-off, the result of an inter-gang rivalry, the insecurity it generates is far-reaching. Also, no one wants the state to be run over by gangs once again. There were around 10 major gangs in Punjab when the Congress government came to power in 2017, but it was successful in neutralising most of them. Of late, they have been rearing their head again and criminals claiming allegiance to the jailed Lawrence Bishnoi and others have been found involved in many incidents in the region.
Historically, Punjab is not an easy state to govern, more so when so many forces would like to see this government fail. Much before AAP came to power in the state, leaders of traditional parties would often try to run it down as a disruptor and a political novice that would be unable to keep peace in the state. The AAP government has to fight this bogey even if it means shoring up its intelligence and working on the double on all fronts without always succumbing to the temptation of playing to the gallery. | https://thelinkpaper.ca/bhagwant-mann-back-in-the-hot-seat-singer-sidhu-moosewala-killing-after-mohali-attack-minister-sacking/ | 2022-05-30T13:43:28Z | https://thelinkpaper.ca/bhagwant-mann-back-in-the-hot-seat-singer-sidhu-moosewala-killing-after-mohali-attack-minister-sacking/ | true | 2 |

Brushing and flossing your teeth helps keep up your oral health. But did you know there’s a link between your oral health and mental health?
Dr. Susan Albers, a Psychologist with Cleveland Clinic, said your mental health impacts your overall health.
"Including your oral health or the health of your teeth and your gums. Dentists are sometimes the first professional to identify and diagnose a mental health issue, and they make a lot of referrals to counselors and therapists," she said.
Dr. Albers said your teeth can give clues about your stress level, anxiety, mood and the presence of chronic eating problems. For example, if you struggle with stress or anxiety, you may have worn enamel from grinding your teeth at night or clenching your jaw. She said people who have eating disorders often have high levels of tooth decay, worn enamel, and difficulties with their gums because of malnutrition, or overeating highly processed foods. People who are depressed may not have the motivation or energy to take care of their teeth.
“If you are struggling with your oral hygiene, check in with yourself and ask is there a mental health issue that may be standing in the way, and if so, this may be important to acknowledge and bring up with your therapist. The two of you together, and with your dentist, can make sure that it does not stand in the way of either your mood or your oral health," she said.

The Central West Rugby Union community continues to rally around one of its own, with the Bathurst Bulldogs raising money for injured Orange Emus second grader Andrew Regan.
More than $25,000 was raised, with all funds to be donated directly to Mr Regan, who was left an incomplete quadriplegic following a spinal injury during a game of rugby in April.
Bulldogs president Phill Newton said the club was hoping to hit the $20,000 mark as a goal for the fundraiser.

"So we did better than expected," he said. "It's amazing to see the generosity from people in the club."
Bulldogs raised the money by auctioning off special jerseys worn by the first grade team on memorial day.

Extra rail services to Hampden for Scotland game but none for further afield
Scotland are due to play Ukraine on Wednesday.
Some additional rail services will be laid on ahead of Scotland’s decisive game against Ukraine at Hampden on Wednesday, but football fans will be unlikely to travel outside of Glasgow after the match.
ScotRail announced a temporary timetable last week, cancelling 700 services and resulting in last trains across the country being brought forward.
And while there will be additional services between Glasgow and Mount Florida, the station nearest the national stadium, final services to most of Scotland’s major cities will leave before the game even kicks off.
The latest service will be to Edinburgh, due to depart Glasgow Queen Street station at 10.15pm, making it highly unlikely fans will be able to make the train.
The final train to both Aberdeen and Dundee will leave Glasgow at 7.45pm, according to the ScotRail app, while the latest anyone can return to Dumfries would be 7.07pm.
Those hoping to head back to Inverness will be unable to do so after 7.07pm and those hoping to return to Perth will need to make the 7.37pm service.
The newly nationalised rail operator has been hit by a pay dispute with train drivers union Aslef, which has meant staff have refused to work on their off days.
A pay deal, which would increase wages by 4.2%, will be put to members by the operator in hopes of ending the dispute.
Phil Campbell, the head of customer operations at ScotRail, urged supporters going to the game to plan their journeys ahead of time.
“We know this is a massive match for the Scottish national team and we are looking forward to helping supporters travel to Hampden to play their part in the occasion,” he said.
“It’s also an honour to welcome Ukraine fans to Glasgow.
“We’ll be doing everything we can to support fans travelling to the game by adding additional services where we can and more seats to trains where possible.
“The temporary timetable will still be in place, so it is important that fans plan ahead to make sure they are aware of their options for both getting into the city, and for completing their journey home.”
A win on Wednesday would see Steve Clarke’s team advance to the World Cup qualifier play-off final against Wales, just one step away from booking their place to Qatar later this year.
Scottish Tory transport spokesman Graham Simpson said the lack of services after the game was a “real slap in the face for thousands of Tartan Army fans heading for Scotland’s biggest game in over two decades on Wednesday night”.
He added: “Those planning to travel between our two biggest cities now know it will be impossible to get home that night, especially if the game goes to extra time and penalties.
“Only on Thursday John Swinney told Parliament he was confident additional services were going to be provided for fans.”
The Deputy First Minister – while standing in for Nicola Sturgeon at First Minister’s Questions last week – said: “Obviously, we want to see more services in place to deal with the Ukraine match and I’m very confident that ScotRail will have in place additional services to ensure that the specific requirements of accessing Hampden will be addressed as part of that process and there will be announcements made in due course.”
Mr Simpson added: “Alongside his SNP colleagues, he has serious questions to answer as to why this will now not occur.
“The Scottish Conservatives first raised the growing concern over a lack of services for this big match ten days ago, but SNP Ministers have badly let the Tartan Army down with their inaction.”

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's annual inflation rate accelerated to 7.9% in May, its highest level in nearly half a century, according to an official estimate Monday.
The Federal Statistical Office said year-on-year inflation jumped from 7.4% in April, with energy prices 38.3% higher than in May last year and food prices up 11.1%. Germany has Europe's biggest economy.
It is the highest inflation rate since the winter of 1973-1974, when an oil crisis also fueled higher prices. Inflation in Germany stood at an already high 5.1% in February and leapt above the 7% mark in March following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In month-on-month terms, the statistics office said prices were up 0.9% in May.
In a separate report on Monday, the office said that people's earnings in Germany were down 1.8% in real terms in this year's first quarter compared with a year earlier as a result of inflation, which more than offset a nominal increase of 4%.
In comments shortly before the latest inflation figure was released, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said that “the top priority must be fighting inflation.”
“Inflation is an enormous economic risk and we must fight this inflation so that no economic crisis grows out of it, so that no spiral develops through which inflation feeds itself,” Lindner said. | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/EGICSFK7TNG3HO5IALIS6PBD7M/ | 2022-05-30T13:56:36Z | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/german-inflation-rate-hits-highest-level-since-early-1970s/EGICSFK7TNG3HO5IALIS6PBD7M/ | true | 30 |
SEATTLE — Get ready for the possibility of a spectacular showing in the night sky on Memorial Day as the Tau-Herculids Meteor Shower could put on a cosmic show of a lifetime.
The possible Tau-Herculids Meteor Shower stems from an event that took place back in the 1990s. Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 broke apart into four large pieces with several smaller, fragmented pieces surrounding the four parent pieces in 1995. Over time the comet has continued to break apart, creating a large debris field of meteoroids.
These meteoroids are often referred to as "space rocks" composed of ice and dust becoming meteors once they've entered the Earth's atmosphere, burning, often leaving a bright tail visible to the naked eye.
Earth will pass through the debris field Monday night creating the potential for the epic meteor shower. It's possible this meteor shower could become a meteor storm with a large number of meteors. A meteor storm occurs when there are at least 1,000 meteors per hour.
There are high hopes for the meteor shower but it is not set in stone. No pun intended. Everything must come together perfectly for this cosmic display.
The fragments in the debris field must be large enough and moving fast enough to create one of the best meteor events in recent times. The last meteor storm, the Leonid meteor storm, was back in 1966.
A New Moon is forecast for Monday night, so moonlight will not obscure the meteor viewing.
The current forecast suggests clouds will be an issue for western Washington and could limit viewing potential. The area with the least amount of cloud coverage at peak viewing time is South Puget Sound.
The best time to see the Tau-Herculids Meteor Shower is Monday night into the pre-dawn hours Tuesday with peak intensity around 10 p.m. Monday, Pacific Daylight Time. Seattle will observe the sunset at 8:57 p.m. on Monday.
For the most vivid viewing of the potential meteor storm, go to a rural area away from city light pollution and enjoy. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/meteor-storm-cosmic-display-memorial-day/281-85f58e41-f56a-4c80-9a9e-69070d0849aa | 2022-05-30T13:58:03Z | https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/meteor-storm-cosmic-display-memorial-day/281-85f58e41-f56a-4c80-9a9e-69070d0849aa | true | 9 |
We have successfully negotiated the KPO (National Reconstruction Plan); we have completed negotiations of „milestones” and next Thursday, June 2, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is coming to Poland to sign „milestones” related to the KPO

Web Design For Healthcare, Pharma And Medical Brands
Healthcare web design is a varied and huge animal. A lot of healthcare web development companies have difficulty knowing where to start. But really the principles are the same in this industry for any experienced and accomplished healthcare web development professional. But it is how a visitor finds you, sees you and the experience that they have that will truly determine how successful you website is.
Trust
Your healthcare web developments have to encompass trust at their heart. This is going to be the most valuable commodity, especially if you are a new or unknown company or service provider. The sector you are in will also influence how difficult it is to build up online trust. So the diet sector along with a lot of alternative therapy providers will have an uphill battle to win.
The issue you will have is this. Healthcare, like life insurance, car insurance and many other critical areas of our lives screams to our subconscious that we should only trust someone we know or who has been recommended to us by our friends. If you go now to a website and see a life insurance banner, you are probably not going to click it or buy straight away from an unknown supplier.
So How Do You Build Up the Trust Required?
Well as part of your healthcare web design you need to have someone on your side who knows how to build trust. Having someone on your side that has been there and done it is priceless. We ourselves have gone through the pain barrier over the years. This means that we have taken the lessons and successes on board so that you don’t have to.
Building an integrated healthcare web development strategy that gives trust is a two part story. The first part is the impact and first time impression of your site. We know this and are experts at this aspect. On average a visitor will take only about 5-10 seconds to make their minds up as to whether to stay or to hit that back button on their browsers. So you are looking to drop in the quality indicators for that fast scan that holds the visitor and encourages them to explore.
Engaging With the Visitor
To build trust and to retain a loyal reader and potential customer your healthcare website design and quality content has to be engaging on many different levels. It is not just about looking smart and professional. In fact that may actually work against you in some healthcare areas. Sometimes having a more relaxed, non-officious approach can pay enormous dividends. It becomes less about marketing speak and more about satisfying a visitor’s needs.
Ideas for healthcare website design here include multimedia content in the form of videos, webinars or audio interviews and recordings. It could also mean having a blog which is less formal and can take and accept comments. After a while this comment conversation actually generates its own content and power.
Making the Website Experience Easy
If your healthcare web design is terrible then you are not going to keep anyone on site, no matter how good the content or how engaging. The content needs to be logically and well organised for easy access. Nothing should be too many clicks away either. Your organisation is a professional one, so it generally should look as though it was put together by a professional. A very high standard of graphics is absolutely necessary.
Functionality and Security
This is where, as far as healthcare web development is concerned, we come into what is dealt with and regulated by the regulations, such as the ABPI and other professional bodies. The main things to consider are the protection of personal data if you have a forum or membership element, the security of information and the segregation of certain information to restrict access to certain groups of users. For instance this may mean the separation of healthcare data for practitioners and customers.
This is critical for your company. If you do not achieve this in the architecture of the healthcare website design, you put yourself at risk on several fronts. We know the importance of making sure this is done properly. If it is not done correctly it could mean censure or even worse a criminal prosecution or civil proceedings.
Then there is the case of social media interaction. If you fail to understand or handle this properly you will come seriously unstuck. Social media is a superb way of encouraging involvement and building your brand and reach. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter have immense power. But there are also dangers that you could fall foul of. The speed with which information can be spread and the huge amount of users who will share it make the whole area very sensitive. Fortunately, we have a lot of experience in managing sensitive and regulated campaigns and making sure they are successful.
Conquering SEO to Increase Visibility
Search engine optimization is a valuable way to promote your site and brand and to provide an additional way of gaining trust and visitors. Healthcare website design should be carefully and fully optimised and promoted with ethical methods to help the site rise to the first page of the search engines. This is a good natural way to gain domain authority with the likes of Google.
Of course you are also at the mercy of those search engines and the way they decide they will assess how important your site is in relation to its content for their searchers. But by building and promoting smart, we are able to give you the stability through any changes that may come.
So as you can see, healthcare web design incorporates a lot of both simple and complicated elements. These involve proper presentation, content and interaction, along with providing the best platform and strategy to promote, segregate and protect your company.
It is essential to ensure that you have someone on board with vast experience and innovative solutions to guide you through this process. This will also mean you avoid the pitfalls of web design and the regulating codes and laws.

Rule Against Perpetuities
The “rule against perpetuities” is often described as one of the most complicated legal rules ever!
It’s origin stems from the days of feudal England – some say as early as 1680 – when landowners often tried to control the use and disposition of property beyond the grave – a concept often referred to as control by the “dead hand.”
The rule against perpetuities was intended to prevent people from tying up property – both real and personal – for generation after generation. In feudal England, the practice was to put land in trust in perpetuity, with succeeding generations living off the land without actually owning it. The catalyst for this practice was the avoidance of certain taxes which were being levied upon the transfer of land upon the death of the owner. Perpetual trusts avoided the tax, but many people argue that the practice had the deleterious effect of concentrating large amounts of wealth among a few members of society.
The rule against perpetuities, then, was designed to insure that some person would actually own the land within a reasonable period of time after the death of the transferor. To accomplish that result, the rule stated that no interest in property would be valid unless it could be shown that the interest would vest, if at all, no later than 21 years after some life in being at the creation of the interest.
Although the rule appears to be straightforward, it has become one of the most complicated legal rules for this reason: the rule requires, with absolute certainty, that an interest in property will vest no later than 21 years after some life in being at the creation of the interest. If there is any possibility that the interest will not vest during that period, then the gift fails ab initio, i.e. from the time the document creating the interest takes effect. For wills, it is the time of the Testator’s death. For trusts, it is the time the transaction is complete.
Let’s consider a few examples illustrating the application of this rule:
1. John’s will provides that Land A is to be given to the first child of Joseph to reach the age of 21. If Joseph is to have any children at all, they certainly will reach the age of 21 within 21 years after Joseph’s death. Therefore, the gift does not violate the rule against perpetuities.
2. John’s will provides that Land A is to be given to the first child of Joseph to marry. The gift is void under the rule against perpetuities because (a) it is possible that Joseph will have children during his lifetime and (b) if he does, there is no certainty that any of them will marry within 21 years after Joseph’s death.
3. John’s living trust states that, upon his death, his friend Mary has the right to live in his house for her life, then the house is given to Mary’s oldest child. The measuring period is Mary’s life, plus 21 years. Since the gift to Mary’s oldest child will vest, if at all, immediately upon Mary’s death, the gift does not violate the rule against perpetuities.
4. John’s living trust states that, upon his death, his cottage in Vermont will go to the first member of his boy scout troop to earn the eagle rank. The gift is void under the rule against perpetuities because it is possible that no one will earn the eagle rank from his boy scout troop during the lives in being at the time of John’s death, plus 21 years. For one thing, the troop may cease to exist before anyone reaches that rank.
The complexity of the rule against perpetuities is further evidenced by the problem of the unborn widow. Suppose that John, from our examples above, wants to give his property to his son, Joseph, and Joseph’s wife, and then to their children.
The provision in John’s trust or will would look something like this:
To Joseph for life, then to his wife for life, then to Joseph’s children.
This is a reasonable gift upon John’s death, yet it violates the rule against perpetuities.
Let’s suppose that Joseph was married, but had no children, at the time of John’s death. This would mean that Joseph and his wife are Lives in Being. If Joseph’s wife were to die or if Joseph and his wife divorced and if Joseph remarried to someone who was born after John’s death, then Joseph’s new wife could not be a life in being. As such, she could outlive Joseph by more than 21 years and so the transfer to Joseph’s children after the death of Joseph’s wife would be outside the measuring period, thereby violating the rule against perpetuities.
Now suppose that Joseph was not married at the time of John’s death and that Joseph got married afterward. Again, Joseph’s wife would not be a life in being for purposes of applying the rule – and, it’s possible that she could outlive Joseph by more than 21 years, thereby preventing Joseph’s children from vesting in the property within the measuring period.
If you think that the rule against perpetuities is something that does not apply to you, think again. If you have a will or a trust that provides for a contingent beneficiary in the event something happens to the primary beneficiary, the rule against perpetuities comes into play. For this reason, if you have a will or a trust, it probably has a clause addressing this rule. Most are simply entitled, “Rule against Perpetuities.”
In the last few years, many states have moved to either modify the rule or abolish it all together. Part of the reason, of course, is owing to the complexity of the rule itself. But, there is also a growing trend in the country to remove any barriers to the accumulation and perpetuation of wealth, which the rule against perpetuities has been steadfast against for over three hundred years.
With several states abolishing the rule against perpetuities altogether, we now see the rise of estate planning vehicles designed specifically to perpetuate wealth from generation to generation. We’ll take a look at one of the more popular of those vehicles next time.
Next time: the “dynasty trust.”

Safe Investing Isn’t Scary – It Only Takes Little Time
Is safe investing scary? Or is it simply that we are afraid to change? There are a zillion philosophies and proponents of investing and investing techniques but so many of us stick to doing what we have been doing rather than change or move forward.
Every week a new book comes out about another investing technique and people rush to buy it but then how many execute, how many will change what they are doing to try this new technique?
Whether we talk about investment analysis software of safe retirement investing there is one impediment to realizing profitable investment results and one critical proven concept that so many either avoid because they can’t believe it is proven or they want to make it better.
The impediment:
Our life is good, or maybe it’s okay. Sure the price of gas is going up and rent keeps climbing or the car insurance bill never goes down, just up, but typically we make due figuring we’ll get a raise or, well we will just cut something out of our regular spending habit.
In other words we are afraid of Change, yes, CHANGE.
We know – because there are TV reports, newspaper and magazine articles that there are people who make money at investing, good money, but they have time to do it, lots of time and that’s not us, not me.
BUT becoming an investor, a part-time investor, a very, very part-time investor can provide significant rewards like covering the cost of rising gas prices or rent jumps and all the new clothes children need.
Joining an athletic club to keep our bodies in shape requires a major change in our daily and weekly routines. But most people believe keeping their body in shape is worth the three, five, seven hours a week investment – investment in themselves.
Investing in our financial future doesn’t need to take much longer than one shower a week. Okay, you prefer a bath – same thing, same time investment in ourselves, our financial wellbeing. A decent personal investment software program will enable you to do just this.
The proven concept
Yes there are many successful ways of safe investing, of strong profitable investing.
But interestingly there is one particular method of investing that pops up time and again, frequently disguised by an author or proponent with a different name or even his name, but the core remains the same.
Just the other day I learned of another investor’s concept and recommendations, but his core was the same.
But this proven means of investing doesn’t have a sexy name and even the derivative names, the names that are different with different concepts all have the same core, these too sound strange and definitely not something you can just blurt out in a conversation with a co-worker unless you want them to say, “Huh, What.”
So here we go again with change. Being willing to listen to a little bit of jargon, just like everyone has their own workplace jargon.
Relative Strength is the proven answer.
In other words does a stock or a fund have the strength to go forward? It’s really that simple. And if it does is it’s strength greater or lesser than other stocks or funds? That, you might say is the relative and comparative part.
An investment software program that focuses on relative strength can make an investor a happy camper because it is focusing on the most basic of proven profitable stock market technical analysis methods.
If you want more information about relative strength, read some of Michael Carr’s books. He is widely considered the relative strength guru.
Just to clarify a bit, here are some typical terms or formulas based upon relative strength:
- Relative strength momentum
- Alpha
- Return
- Relative strength index
- Price oscillator
Carr discusses seven different types or formulas, and there are more, but the core remains relative strength.
If you want to improve your financial health along with your physical well-being, try an investment software program that offers or focuses on relative strength investing. And look for one that will enable you to become a profitable safe investor in as little time as it takes to shower down after a hard workout.

Building Wealth From a Residual Income Program – How to Crack the Code For Your Online Empire!
Did you know that you can start building wealth from a residual income program starting today? The truth is that you really can as long as you pick the right one for you that gives you the opportunity to succeed. Unfortunately there are not many programs that give you the opportunity to succeed because they are simply scams. They are only interested in taking your hard earned money and leaving you flat broke. It has happened to me before and it is the worst feeling in the world!
But there is hope though.
First if you want to make everything work make sure you find a product to promote that will actually pay you on a residual income basis. Most companies online don’t and that is a major flaw. The reason I know this is because I spent a lot of time just working for sales, when in reality it would have been a way better idea to get paid a residual income that would have kept coming in on a monthly or even weekly basis. But you live and you learn right?
So make sure you find something out there that meets your criteria and that you can enjoy to promote. If you don’t have a passion with what you’re promoting people will see that as well. Passion is going to be a big part of your success when trying to make cash on the Internet.
Also the most important piece of the whole puzzle in my opinion would simply be website traffic. Without website traffic you are doomed for failure. People ask me all the time how they can bring traffic to their website and there are so many different ways that it always makes me laugh.
Look you have to become the master at one traffic generation strategy and then go on to the rest. Stop trying to do this and do that technique, focus on one go on to the other and continue that pattern until you start to see the result that you want. That is exactly how you want to start making big cash prize of programs on the Internet.

First Quarter Revenue Up 275% from the Same Period a Year Ago
Anticipated First Half Revenue to be Up Over 300% from the Same Period in 2021
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- (TSXV:SEV) (OTCQB:SPVNF) Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. ("Spectra7" or the "Company"), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. A copy of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the corresponding management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") will be available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in US dollars.
"With more than $11 million of orders in hand year-to-date, Spectra7 is on course for record revenue in 2022. Customers increasingly require high-speed, lower-cost solutions to meet the performance requirements of modern hyperscale data centers, 5G and consumer products," said Ron Pasek, Chairman of the Board. "We are uniquely positioned to meet these demands with a robust solution suited to a number of applications, such as our newly shipping order for AR/VR headset connectivity with a major console gaming company customer, with shipments and revenue expected to grow throughout this year and into 2023.1"
Q1 2022 Financial Highlights
- Revenue for the first quarter was approximately $2.1 million, up from $0.6 million in the same quarter a year ago, an increase of approximately 275%.
- As previously announced on April 7, 2022, first quarter revenue was impacted by Covid-related business closures in China in late March, which pushed more than $1 million in product shipments into Q2 2022.
- Gross margin2 as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter was 43%, compared with 57% in the first quarter of 2021. The change in gross margin was primarily driven by expedite fees and premiums to secure wafers and supply chain availability in order to meet increasing customer demand for data center and AR/VR products.
- Non-IFRS operating expenses3 in the first quarter were $2.4 million, up from $1.0 million in the same period a year ago. For comparative purposes, employees were furloughed in the first quarter of 2021 in response to the impact of Covid-19 at that time, resulting in lower operating expenses. In addition, there were costs to support the ramping up of production for the Company's DreamWeVR™ products.
- Basic and diluted loss per share for the first quarter was $(0.08). This compares with a basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.07) in the same period a year ago.
- EBITDA3 loss in the fourth quarter was $(1.3) million. This compares with a loss of approximately $(0.6) million in the same period a year ago.
The Company has updated its revenue outlook for the first half of 2022 and now expects revenue to be in the range of $5.3 million to $5.6 million.5 At the midpoint, this would represent an increase of over 300% from the first half of fiscal 2021.

(NEXSTAR) – While some may view Memorial Day as the unofficial start to summer – and the chance at a three-day weekend – the day carries a heavier meaning.
Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, honors Americans who gave their lives in service. It was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1968.
The day’s history technically started more than 100 years earlier when, in 1866, Waterloo, New York, held a city-wide ‘Decoration Day.’ According to USO, citizens were encouraged to place memorials on the graves of soldiers.
Two years later, Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, the head of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans, established the first-ever national Decoration Day, a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. He moved the day to May 30, a time when flowers would be in bloom.
Until World War I, Decoration Day honored those who fought in the Civil War. In the decades since its inception, the day became better known as Memorial Day, the Department of Veterans Affairs explains. Congress designated Memorial Day as a national holiday through the Uniform Holiday Bill passed in 1968 – it took effect in 1971 – and formally moved it from May 30 to the last Monday of the month.
Memorial Day is often confused with Veterans Day, which falls on November 11 every year and honors those who fought in American wars and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, became a legal holiday in May 1938.
After World War II, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day as part of the Uniform Holiday Bill.
Memorial Day should also not be confused with another military holiday in May, Armed Forces Day. Celebrated on the third Saturday of the month, Armed Forces Day honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. | https://www.wkrg.com/national/whats-the-difference-between-memorial-day-and-veterans-day/ | 2022-05-30T14:10:30Z | https://www.wkrg.com/national/whats-the-difference-between-memorial-day-and-veterans-day/ | true | 23 |
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has extended the registration period of the 2022 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) for school-based candidates to midnight of Monday June 20, 2022.
The Head of Information and Public Relations Department of the council, Azeez Sani, stated this in a statement in Minna on Monday.
He explained that the registration period was initially scheduled to close on Monday May 30, 2022.
He said, “State Ministries of Education, Principals, Commandants and all stakeholders are enjoined to note that there would be no further extension after this.”
According to him, the 2022 NECO Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) will commence on June 27, 2022 and end on Friday August 12, 2022.
He said candidates are to be examined in 76 subjects during the examination. | https://www.blueprint.ng/2022-ssce-neco-extends-registration/ | 2022-05-30T14:10:59Z | https://www.blueprint.ng/2022-ssce-neco-extends-registration/ | false | null |
The gruesome killing of Harira Jibrin, a 32-year-old woman, who is nine months pregnant, alongside her four children – Fatima (nine), Khadija (seven), Hadiza (five) and Zaituna (two) in Anambra state by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), remains condemnable, barbaric, animalistic and inhuman.
I shed tears when I watched the video of the heinous act, because the act seems to be animalistic. In my religion, which is Islam, it is prohibited to kill women or children even during war, because they are vulnerable in the society.
I read on a national daily, where the deceased’s husband, Jibrin Ahmed, was quoted as saying “I’m now left with nobody; they have wiped out my entire family. I am so worried and in a trauma. My hope is to take the corpses to Ganye local government area of Adamawa state and bury them because the cemetery the Arewa community is using here is already filled.
“But we have now decided to bury them in Awka, Anambra state because the mortuary attendant did not treat the corpses, no preservative measure was done; hence we cannot travel with the corpses as they have already started decomposing. We have no other option than to take them to Awka and bury them there.”
After reading this, I asked myself: what was the offence of Harira and her kids to deserve this barbaric treatment, by killing them in front of everyone and leaving their corpses in a pool of blood in the street? Did Harira abuse anyone? Or did she make blasphemous statement against any religion? Where are our elite, politicians, human rights activists?
The Oby Ezekwesilis, Atikus, Gumis, Aishatou Yousufus, among others, we are still waiting for you to condemn the act, as you normally do whenever something like this happens.
I wonder why those people who shouted over the murder of Deborah Samuel, who blasphemed our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recently, keep mute. Are they not in the country? It is sad that they suddenly lost their voices, when it concerned Harira and her four children, who were killed, because they are northerners.
Why would the federal government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, not treat IPOB terrorists in the language they will understand, like bandits and Boko Haram are being treated?
We are tired of seeing statement of condemnation from the federal government. We want government to take drastic action by apprehending those behind the killing of the Harira, her kids and other innocent northerners in the southern part of the country, to face the law.
Also, I want the Anambra state government to fully compensate Malam Jibrin Ahmed in order to have a sense of belonging, in view of the situation he finds himself not just that chicken change of N500,000.
We want peace to reign in all parts of our dear country. We also demand justice for Harira and her children as well as all northerners killed by IPOB terrorists.
WeWantPeace.
StopTheKillingOfNotthenersInSouthEast.
WeDemandJusticeForHariraAndHerKids.
Sani Adamu Hassan,
Bauchi

Texas elementary school shooting: What do we know so far?
A gunman stormed into an elementary school Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two teachers in the United States' deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade. Law enforcement officers killed the shooter, identified as a local 18-year-old who had shot and wounded his grandmother and spelled out his violent plans in online messages shortly before the massacre at Robb Elementary. Investigators say they don't yet know a motive for the shootings.
A look at what we know so far:
WHAT HAPPENED IN UVALDE?
The attacker shot his 66-year-old grandmother in the face at their Uvalde home, then fled in her truck as she summoned help, according to Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas Public Safety Director Steve McCraw and other officials.
A short distance away, Ramos crashed the truck outside the school, got out with a rifle and approached a back door, officials said. They said an officer assigned to the school “engaged” Ramos, but the gunman got into the building and down a hallway to a fourth-grade classroom. After locking the classroom door, he opened fire around 11:30 a.m. with an AR-15-style rifle, carrying multiple magazines.
A team including local officers and Border Patrol agents ultimately forced the door open and shot Ramos to death after he fired at them, police said.
Other officers and responders shattered some of the school's windows so teachers and students could escape.
Ramos was wearing a tactical vest, though not body armor, according to state senators who said they were briefed on the shooting. There was another AR-15-style rifle in his truck, and a backpack with several magazines full of ammunition was found near the school entrance.
WHO WERE THE VICTIMS?
Authorities haven't yet released the victims' names, but some information about them has emerged from their families.
Eliahna Garcia was an outgoing 10-year-old who loved to sing, dance, play sports and be with her family, according to aunt Siria Arizmendi. Uziyah Garcia was only 8 and “the sweetest little boy that I’ve ever known," said grandfather Manny Renfro, recalling how the youngster was already able to master football pass patterns.
Xavier Javier Lopez, 10, had been looking forward to a summer of swimming. Ebullient and loving, he was "just enjoying life, not knowing that this tragedy was going to happen today,” cousin Lisa Garza said.
Swift-footed Layla Salazar, 10, had won six races at the school's field day.
“She was just a whole lot of fun,” said her father, Vincent Salazar, remembering how she danced to TikTok videos and sang along with him to the Guns N’ Roses song “Sweet Child O’ Mine” every morning on the way to school.
Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10, hadn't wanted to go to school Tuesday, appearing to think that something bad would happen, her mom, Veronica Luevanos, told Univision. A cousin of Jailah’s also was killed.
Eva Mireles, 44, had been teaching for 17 years, according to a welcome letter to students she wrote last fall. She and her husband, a school police officer, had a grown daughter.
Mireles wrote that she loved running and hiking, and relative Amber Ybarra said she had an adventurous spirit.
WHO WAS THE GUNMAN?
Authorities identified the shooter as Salvador Ramos, 18. He lived in Uvalde itself, a predominantly Latino city of about 16,000 people in a farming area roughly 75 miles (120 kilometers) from the Mexican border and 85 miles (135 kilometers) from San Antonio.
A high school dropout, Ramos had no known criminal record or history of mental health problems, Abbott said.
In the half-hour before the school killings, Ramos used Facebook to say that he was going to shoot his grandmother, then that he had done so, and then that he was going to shoot up an elementary school, without specifying which one, officials said.
Facebook said Ramos' posts were private messages that came to light after the killings.
Investigators also have been scrutinizing an Instagram account that apparently belonged to Ramos. In the days before the shooting, posts featured a photo of a hand holding an ammunition magazine and another photo of two AR-15-style rifles. The account asked another Instagram user to share the latter photo with her 10,000 followers; she declined, saying it was “scary” and she barely knew him.
On the morning of the massacre, the account linked to Ramos sent her an ominous message: “I'm about to.”
Instagram declined to answer questions about the postings.
WHERE DID THE GUN COME FROM?
The gunman legally bought his weapons soon after his 18th birthday and days before the attack, law enforcement officials told state lawmakers.
He purchased one rifle from a federally licensed gun dealer in the Uvalde area May 17, according to a state police briefing to state Sen. John Whitmire. On May 18, the gunman bought 375 rounds of ammunition. Then, two days later, he bought a second rifle.
WHAT DON'T WE KNOW?
Authorities haven't disclosed a full list of the victims. Nor have many important details about the attack been made public.
Among them: what transpired between Ramos and the school officer who first encountered him; who saw the online posts attributed to him; what, if any, history he had with Robb Elementary; and why he went on the rampage.
“We don’t see a motive or catalyst right now,” McCraw said Wednesday afternoon.
HOW MANY MASS SHOOTINGS HAVE THERE BEEN IN U.S. SCHOOLS?
There have been 14 shootings that have claimed four or more victims' lives at U.S. schools and colleges since 1999, when two students killed 12 of their peers and a teacher at Colorado's Columbine High School in 1999. That's according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University, and to other AP reporting. These mass attacks have killed 169 people in all.
The massacre in Uvalde was the deadliest since December 2012, when 20 first graders and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut by a gunman who had just killed his mother.
In 2007, a Virginia Tech student fatally shot 32 people.

“Good sunny spells” are in store for the many street parties and outdoor events planned across the West Midlands, though people should not expect a scorcher.
The unsettled and unseasonably cool start to the week will gradually give way to drier, brighter and warmer weather in time for the long weekend.
Met Office meteorologist Richard Miles said: “It’s fine and dry rather than major sunshine, but most people should see sunshine”.
Revellers going to outdoor celebrations would be wise to be ready for all eventualities, as the odd shower could be around to dampen the atmosphere, especially on Thursday and Friday.
“You’d be unlucky if you had to use the umbrella, but take one just in case, because you can never know,” Mr Miles said. “You’re more likely to need the sunglasses than the umbrella.”
Forecasters say the weather, which was remaining mixed today, should settle down as the week continues. Tomorrow will be drier for many, with the clouds clearing further for the first day of the four-day bank holiday on Thursday. On Friday, it will be a similar picture for most, with some areas basking in “plenty of sunshine”, the Met Office said, though some rain could fall in the West Midlands between the brighter intervals.”
Forecasters say there should be no repeat of the last Jubilee celebrations in 2012, which were ruined by torrential rain on the weekend.
Mr Miles added: “On Saturday and Sunday it’s looking quite settled, with most places seeing quite a bit of fine and dry weather again.” Mr Miles said.
The West Midlands looks set to get the most of the UK weekend sunshine. Temperatures will be creeping closer to average. Some areas of our region will reach a pleasant 20C (68F). | https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/2022/05/30/all-eyes-on-weather-forecast-for-jubilee-fun/ | 2022-05-30T14:22:35Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/2022/05/30/all-eyes-on-weather-forecast-for-jubilee-fun/ | true | 2 |
Monday, May 30, 2022 – Nandi County Senator, Samson Cherargei, has finally spoken after a campaign billboard belonging to Deputy President William Ruto was destroyed in Kisumu city on Monday.
Through his official Facebook page, Cherargei, who is a close confidante of Ruto, blamed former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for the destruction.
Cherargei said Raila Odinga must stop using hooliganism against his competitors and should allow democracy to prevail during the August 9th presidential election.
“Raila Odinga must stop the use of hooligans, democracy allows a free and fair competition in elections. Kazi NI kazi. #makiwole ,#mtetezi Blessed week,” Cherargei wrote on his Twitter page.
Kisumu is considered Raila Odinga’s political bedroom.
Police officers from Kisumu County have said they have launched a manhunt for the goons who destroyed the billboard and the politician who paid them to do the dirty work.

Arsenal will need to sign a midfielder in the summer in order to improve Mikel Arteta’s options in the middle of the park. Manchester United have exposed a transfer possibility for the Gunners, which would certainly please Arsene Wenger.
According to the Guardian, Manchester United are interested in N’Golo Kante and want to find out if Chelsea are willing to sell this summer. The report does go on too add that the Blues would rather make space by selling Jorginho over Kante.
But if a deal does become available then it is certainly a transfer the Gunners should look to explore. Kante has consistently shown that he is one of the best midfielders in Europe over the past few years, and he would certainly enhance the current Arsenal midfield.

Former Gunners boss Wenger was a huge fan of the Frenchman, which was proven by his attempts to sign him on numerous occasions. In 2017, journalists asked him whether he ever tried to sign the France international, and Wenger admitted he had: "When he was in France, when he was at Leicester."
Arsenal came close to signing him in 2016 from Leicester, but agent fees reportedly prevented the deal, and Wenger went on to sign Granit Xhaka a few weeks later for £35m. Arteta could now potentially revere this situation as football.london understands that Roma are expected to make a fresh attempt to sign Xhaka at the end of the season.
Since Kante’s move to Leicester in 2015 he has gone on to become one of the best midfielders in Europe by winning back-to-back Premier League titles, the World Cup, and the Champions League, and in all of these honours, Kante played a pivotal role.
Arsenal have signed players from Chelsea who were over age of 30 in recent years that have not gone to plan. Petr Cech, David Luiz, and Willian all joined the Gunners from Chelsea but were all underwhelming during their tenure in north London.
However, Kante certainly has the tools to break this trend. He would fit perfectly next to Thomas Partey in the midfield, in what would certainly be a dominant duo. His presence in a three-man midfield could also be the trick to success.
Thomas Partey and Mohammed Elneny would be the only experienced midfielders in the team if Xhaka is to depart at the end of the season. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Charlie Patino have the potential but are still yet to register a full Premier League season under their belt with regular game-time.
Kante would certainly be an excellent acquisition for the Gunners if Chelsea decide to sell the Frenchman. Arsenal need midfielders who can dominate the middle of the park, which is what Kante has been doing over the last seven years. | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/mikel-arteta-arsenal-chelsea-transfer-24099158 | 2022-05-30T14:30:45Z | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/mikel-arteta-arsenal-chelsea-transfer-24099158 | true | 1 |

Memorial Day is often confused with Veterans Day, which falls on November 11 every year and honors those who fought in American wars and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, became a legal holiday in May 1938.
After World War II, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day as part of the Uniform Holiday Bill.
Memorial Day should also not be confused with another military holiday in May, Armed Forces Day. Celebrated on the third Saturday of the month, Armed Forces Day honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/whats-the-difference-between-memorial-day-and-veterans-day/ | 2022-05-30T14:36:43Z | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/whats-the-difference-between-memorial-day-and-veterans-day/ | true | 23 |
We often observe new things in the real world without the goal of learning about them. But a new study from the Ohio State University found that exposure to new things increases the curiosity to learn more about them. The study offer evidence that adults learn from incidental exposure to something that they know nothing about and aren’t even trying to understand.
Exposure to new things triggers an impression in our mind that makes us ‘ready to learn.’
The study involved five separate experiments with 438 adults, all of which yielded comparable results.
Participants in the research initially went through an “exposure phase” in which they played a basic computer game while seeing vivid images of strange creatures. The game provided little information about the monsters, yet some players were unaware that the creatures were divided into Category A and Category B.
Category A and Category B creatures, like dogs and cats in the real world, possessed various body parts, such as different-colored tails and hands. Participants in the control group were shown photographs of other strange creatures.
Later in the experiment, the participants were instructed that the creatures were divided into two categories (named “flurps” and “jalets”) and that they needed to determine which type each creature belonged to.
Scientists then quantified the time taken by participants to learn the difference between Category A and Category B in this explicit learning phase.
Layla Unger, a postdoctoral researcher in psychology at Ohio State, said, “We found that learning was substantially faster for those who were exposed to the two categories of creatures earlier on than it was in the control group participants.”
“Participants who received early exposure to Category A and B creatures could become familiar with their different distributions of characteristics, such as that creatures with blue tails tended to have brown hands, and creatures with orange tails tended to have green hands. Then when the explicit learning came, it was easier to attach a label to those distributions and form the categories.”
Another experiment involved playing a simple computer game that participants played in the exposure phase involved hearing sounds while seeing the images of the creatures. Participants hit a key whenever the same sound was played two times.
Vladimir Sloutsky, the co-author of the study, said, “The images were randomly attached to the sounds, so they could not help participants learn the sounds. The participants could completely ignore the images, and it would not affect how well they did.”
Nonetheless, individuals who were shown photographs of Category A and B creatures remembered the differences between them more quickly during the explicit learning phase than those who were shown images of unrelated creatures.
Sloutsky said, “It was pure exposure to the creatures that was helping them learn faster later on.”
But was it possible they had already learned the difference between Category A and B creatures during the early exposure without needing explicit learning?
Unger said, “The answer is no.”
In some of the studies, the simple computer game in the exposure phase involved first seeing a creature in the center of the screen. Participants were then asked to hit one key if the animal jumped to the left side of the screen and a different key if it jumped to the right as quickly as possible.
Participants were not informed that one type of creature always leaped to the left and the other to the right. They could reply faster if they understood the differences between the two creature types.
Participants did not answer faster, implying that they did not learn the difference between Category A and Category B creatures throughout the exposure phase of the study.
But they still learned the difference between them more quickly in the explicit learning part of the experiment than those participants who were exposed to images of other creatures during the earlier exposure phase.
Unger said, “The exposure to the creatures left participants with some latent knowledge, but they weren’t ready to tell the difference between the two categories. They had not learned yet, but they were ready to learn.”
Sloutsky said this is one of the few studies showing evidence of latent learning.
“It has been very difficult to diagnose when latent learning is occurring. But this research was able to differentiate between latent learning and what people learn during explicit teaching.”

AUBURN — Three central New York men are on their way home after a ministerial trip that turned into a wearying mission to escape an African country overcome by civil strife.
Pastor Robert Canino, his friend Tommy Malvaso and New York evangelist Joseph Bumba were flying out of Sierra Leone north to Guinea. After that it would be off to Belgium for a return flight to the United States, back to the embrace of family and congregation.
"He called at 5 o'clock this morning and they were taking a private plane out," said Canino's wife, Lorraine. "He's expecting to be back tomorrow, Saturday at the latest."
The trio had planned to leave Sierra Leone today with other American citizens trapped there when rebels staged a coup on Sunday. But they decided to depart Thursday after their friend, native Pastor Monodu Conteh, secured a private flight through personal connections.
"I guess either way it was going to cost them a lot of money," Lorraine Canino said. "They didn't want to wait."

Here is why more and more adults are opting for cosmetic orthodontic treatments
Though traditionally braces were used as corrective devices for problems relating to a bad bite, gaps in teeth and other issues, now, they are being used for cosmetic purposes
When Kirti Khullar’s domestic help returned after her annual leave, she was shocked to see her employee wearing braces. As a 37-year-old surviving on the meagre income of hired help, Khullar wondered why she had decided to take this step. With some probing, it came out that the influence of her friends and a desire to perfect her smile for social media selfies had led her to the clinic of a quack dentist located in the bylanes of Andheri in Mumbai, who promised to do an efficient job at the ridiculously low price of Rs 35,000.
Once she overcame the shock, Khullar who had worn braces as a teenager realised that her employee was being taken for a ride and decided to take her to a better dentist. “Initially, I wondered why she felt the need for braces at this age and at her present stage in life. Then it dawned on me that she’s earning her own money, and this was perhaps a long-held desire she felt she could finally fulfill,” explains Khullar.
A paucity of knowledge about cosmetic orthodontic procedures coupled with the lack of funds and the fear of what people will say, ensured that braces were relegated to a cosmetic procedure pursued only by teenagers with crooked teeth. Things have come a long way since then, with a significantly larger proportion of adults now opting for these procedures, compared to adolescents, according to a study published in the International Journal of Dentistry and Oral Science in 2020.
Dr Karishma Khosla, Senior Dentist at Dr Khosla’s Dental Clinic, Safdarjung Enclave, Delhi, and Gurugram, shares, “Over the past few years there is greater awareness amongst adults regarding orthodontic correction. Most adults thought that once they crossed their teens that orthodontic correction of misaligned teeth will not be possible. There was also great hesitation in getting traditional braces due to poor aesthetics of metal brackets and wires, and due to a number of food restrictions with traditional braces. With the advent of clear dental aligners, there has been a huge increase in the number of adults wanting to get their smiles corrected.”
Invisible aligners, a popular variant of which is known as Invisalign, have certainly proved a game- changer. Priyank Kapadia from Pune shares that his protruding teeth had robbed him of the courage to speak to girls. Even those he met through his parents for matrimonial purposes, would reject him for his acute shyness. Then at age 32, emboldened by ads he saw of actress Parineeti Chopra flaunting her 1000-watt smile after an Invisalign treatment, he decided to correct this problem.
In a matter of just eight months, not only had his teeth retracted, the shape of his mouth and jaw had changed, giving him a more chiselled appearance and in turn the confidence he lacked when it came to approaching members of the opposite sex. Dr Brij Sabharwal, private dental practitioner and Past President Indian Dental Association, Delhi, explains, “More and more people are gravitating towards ‘invisible’ braces. They are also a more comfortable and hygienic option for the patient, require shorter and fewer appointments and their results are very promising. It is easier to get used to wearing options like Invisalign, as it fulfils almost all the patients’ aesthetic demands, while providing the same results.”
Though traditionally braces were used as corrective devices for problems relating to a bad bite, gaps in teeth and other issues; with the advent of globalisation and in more recent years, social media, they are increasingly being used for cosmetic purposes. Dr Namrata Rupani, Founder and CEO of Capture Life Dental Care in Hyderabad, highlights, “Social media has played a huge role in increasing the popularity of cosmetic orthodontic treatments in India.
From celebrities to social media influencers, the rise in the acceptance of adult orthodontic procedures is largely due to the understanding of their long term dental benefits.” She asserts that this awareness has helped remove the stigma of wearing braces. “Even in social circles, wearing braces and aligners is considered fashionable, which is why cosmetic dentistry is a growing dental segment,” she asserts.
Cosmetic orthodontics may suddenly be considered de rigueur but Dr Khosla offers a word of caution against using DIY aligners without the supervision of a trained clinician, as these can do more harm than good.
No matter what your age or intention may be, achieving the perfect smile must be left to the experts.
Why more adults opting for cosmetic orthodontic treatments:
✥ Desire to improve the appearance of one’s teeth
✥ Influence of social media
✥ Improvement in technology such as adoption of artificial intelligence and 3D printing, which have made orthodontic treatments faster and more accessible
✥ Advent of clear dental aligners like Invisalign which are nearly invisible and can be removed while eating and brushing, leading to no food restrictions and better oral hygiene
✥ Awareness of the benefits of orthodontic procedures in maintaining overall oral health
✥ Quick way to change facial appearance as the cheeks, jawline and mouth also undergo changes
✥ Desire to be considered fashionable by wearing braces, especially invisible aligners, in their social circles | https://www.indulgexpress.com/mlaunches/wellness/2022/may/29/here-is-why-more-and-more-adults-are-opting-for-cosmetic-orthodontic-treatments-41110.html | 2022-05-30T14:44:47Z | https://www.indulgexpress.com/mlaunches/wellness/2022/may/29/here-is-why-more-and-more-adults-are-opting-for-cosmetic-orthodontic-treatments-41110.html | true | 2 |
Royal Navy sailors and Royal Marines have spoken of their pride at being called to take part in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee pageant as they carry out their final rehearsals.
More than 200 personnel, supported by the Royal Marines Corps of Drums, have been carrying out a practice session at HMS Collingwood, Fareham, Hampshire.
They will then go on to represent the Royal Navy at the pageant at Buckingham Palace on Sunday June 5.
The sailors will be joined by personnel from the Royal Air Force and British Army to form the first section of the pageant titled Queen and Country.
The sailors and marines wore normal uniform for the rehearsal but will be in full ceremonial uniform for the pageant itself which will tell the story of the Queen’s 70-year reign.
As well as the UK armed forces, military personnel from across the Commonwealth including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, Ghana, Belize, Jamaica and Sri Lanka will be taking part.
Sub Lieutenant Toby Blunden, 20, from Brentwood, Essex, said he was honoured to take part as his father, retired Commodore Jeremy Blunden, was the last commander of the Royal Yacht Britannia.
He told the PA news agency: “It’s a terrific experience, a lot of nerves and a lot of excitement at the same time.
“I am very proud to be representing the Royal Navy and Royal Naval Reserves.”
Able seaman (AB) Carly Holloway, 19, from Leeds, said: “It’s exciting, it’s something that will never happen again.”
AB Olivia Gray, 21, from Newcastle, said: “She’s the only monarch to have served for that period of time so it’s amazing to be at her Jubilee.”
State ceremonial training officer Warrant Officer Darren Wearing said: “A lot of effort has gone into the preparation and quite rightly so because we need to make sure everything is perfect.
“The challenge is we just want to do it justice, we want to make sure everyone is immaculate and gives a good account of themselves.
“In 1,000 years of monarchy we have never had a Platinum Jubilee and it’s potentially going to be the last so it’s exceptionally important.”
First Drill, Warrant Officer Steve Payne, who is responsible for the Royal Marines ceremonial guard, said: “I am fortunate in that all my Royal Marines do drill in their basic syllabus so time has been short as training time is valuable.
“They are now together as one and producing the goods.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/30/sailors-and-marines-proud-to-play-part-in-platinum-jubilee-pageant/ | 2022-05-30T14:56:00Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2022/05/30/sailors-and-marines-proud-to-play-part-in-platinum-jubilee-pageant/ | true | 7 |

“Let’s thank the players for the win from the situation we’re coming from. I saw a confident team,” Orlando Pirates coach Mandla Ncikazi told SuperSport.
“My only concern is that we could have scored more, that’s the area you wish. If you get all these opportunities that come your way, score them.
“But having said that we won the match, we got the three points, that’s important for me today. Nothing was different in how we approached the game.
Sometimes you’ll win the league and you are on top of the game but you’ll lose your job. So, it’ not my decision.
“The only difference was that today Orlando Pirates ook the chances that we created, differently from other matches.

The Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) share price is down 70% over the past 12 months. And, naturally, that represents a terrible return for investors. However, the company still has a market-cap of $28bn. As a point of reference, that’s four times greater than British engineering giant Rolls-Royce.
With Rivian yet to turn a profit, there is clearly plenty of faith that the electric vehicle (EV) maker will be highly profitable in the future. After all, growth stocks are valued on potential.
5 Stocks For Trying To Build Wealth After 50
One notable billionaire made 99% of his current wealth after his 50th birthday. And here at The Motley Fool, we believe it is NEVER too late to start trying to build your fortune in the stock market. Our expert Motley Fool analyst team have shortlisted 5 companies that they believe could be a great fit for investors aged 50+ trying to build long-term, diversified portfolios.
So is Rivian right for my portfolio and will this EV newcomer be the next Tesla?
Valuation
Despite the stock’s value falling substantially over the past year, Rivian still looks very expensive to me. In 2021, Rivian generated $55m in revenues. And with that lofty market-cap, this means its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is over 500. That is absolutely huge. By comparison, China’s EV maker NIO has a P/S ratio of four after the firm generated more than $5bn sales in 2021.
Rivian is expecting revenue to increase to $1.9bn this year, but Q1 was way off track. If it did hit this target, the firm would have a P/S ratio of around 15. Which is certainly a lot more attractive.
Prospects
Rivian is going after a different customer base to Tesla. It currently has two models for sale, a truck and an SUV. The R1T (truck) and R1S (SUV) start at $67,500 and $72,500 respectively, which makes them considerably more expensive than Tesla’s cheapest models (the 3 and the Y start at $46,990 and $62,990).
Rivian’s offer will appeal more to the adventurous consumer rather than Tesla’s core buyers. However, CEO RJ Scaringe plans to launch six models by 2025. To date, nobody knows what these models are going to be.
However, the California-based company is also producing electric vans, and Amazon has already ordered 100,000. With little competition here, Rivian could be well positioned to corner the electric van market.
And we already know that electric vans can work as major delivery vehicles. Ironically, Rivian is not the first company to produce an electric van. In 1967, the UK Electric Vehicle Association said that Britain had more electric vehicles on the roads than the rest of the world combined. Most of these were, of course, milk floats. This time around, it looks like the American firm will have a dominant position in the sector.
Concerns
Valuation is a major issue for me. It’s still a long way from looking like an attractive prospect for my portfolio. There are also supply chain issues, notably as demand for products like lithium outstrip supply. In May, the company reaffirmed its annual production forecast of 25,000 units, halved from 50,000 in March.
Will I buy Rivian stock?
Should I buy Rivian stock? There’s two major issues for me. Firstly, it’s too expensive and secondly, it looks like it will struggle to meet its targets amid supply chain issues. For me, it’s a no.
In the long term, I may be wrong and it may be the next Tesla, albeit targeting a slightly different market segment. | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/05/30/is-rivian-stock-the-next-tesla/ | 2022-05-30T15:15:49Z | https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/05/30/is-rivian-stock-the-next-tesla/ | false | 1 |

More than 100 people gathered Sunday on the King Street corner of Capitol Square, on the 174th anniversary of Wisconsin becoming a state, to rededicate a statue of Civil War Union Army Col. Hans Christian Heg. Dozens of his descendants joined the celebration.
The refurbished statue of Heg — torn down by protesters at the state Capitol on June 23, 2020 — honors the Norwegian immigrant who died fighting for the Union Army in the Civil War.
The 1st Brigade Band, a group affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society and representative of 18 men from the Brodhead Brass Band who enlisted in the Union Army in 1864, engaged the crowd with Civil War-era music, as bandmaster Jon Condon provided historic insights to each piece that was played at the start of the ceremony.
Speakers noted Heg’s life and work as a staunch opponent to slavery and an abolitionist who died so that others might find freedom.
Lori Coffey, one of 83 descendants of Heg and a third-great-granddaughter of the Civil War veteran, spoke to the crowd and introduced a number of her relatives who had careers in the military, U.S. Foreign Service, education and the news media in the years since the colonel was mortally wounded in the bloody Battle of Chickamauga. He was 33 years old when he died on Sept. 19, 1863.
“The State has sent no braver soldier, and no truer patriot to aid in this mighty struggle for national unity, than Hans Christian Heg,” the State Journal wrote Sept. 29, 1863, reporting word of his death. “The valorous blood of the old Vikings ran in his veins.”
The highest-ranking Wisconsin officer killed in combat during the Civil War, Heg commanded a regiment largely composed of other Scandinavian immigrants.
“I want you to think about the story of Heg and look at that statue through a different and wider lens,” said Christopher Kolakowski, director of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, as he delivered his keynote address to the crowd. “Hans Heg is an exemplar for Norwegians in the Norwegian community for sure, but he represents much more than that.”
Kolakowski noted that Heg’s story is a uniquely American one — an immigrant who came to the United States in search of a better life who adopted his new country’s foundational principals, much like Hmong, Hispanic and Afghan immigrants, as well as folks from countless other nations of origin, after him.
“All of these communities here come here for a new life, to adopt this country and to build a new community,” he said. “They have done much to build this state, build this country, what it was and what it is and will continue to build it going on into the future.”
Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War took part in a wreath-laying ceremony as the crowd sang both “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the Norwegian national anthem. Deacon Dean Collins offered a benediction prayer and the ceremony concluded with a rifle salute and taps.
The crowd dispersed about two hours after the start of the ceremony to the tune of the 1st Brigade Band as it played a closing concert of more Civil War-era songs.
A mob tore down the statue the night of June 23, 2020, after the arrest of a Black activist earlier in the day in Downtown Madison. Protesters decapitated the Heg statue and dumped it into Lake Monona. The Heg statue’s leg also was taken off, but Heg’s head was never found. The “Forward” statue at the Capitol also was toppled that night.
Rodney A. Clendening, 34, of Beloit faces trial in October on a charge of felony theft in the Heg statue case, according to online court records. A criminal complaint said police identified him as the driver of a car into which the head of the abolitionist statue was placed. | https://lacrossetribune.com/news/state-and-regional/dozens-of-descendants-attend-the-rededication-ceremony-of-hans-christian-heg-statue/article_fe609fa3-52f1-5a99-9797-2d90ec3ebf57.html | 2022-05-30T15:29:38Z | https://lacrossetribune.com/news/state-and-regional/dozens-of-descendants-attend-the-rededication-ceremony-of-hans-christian-heg-statue/article_fe609fa3-52f1-5a99-9797-2d90ec3ebf57.html | true | 2 |
A mum was shocked when her toddler returned to the kitchen from playing in the garden - holding a live mouse. Annie Duthie, 25, filmed Hollie, two, proudly showing the "friend" she'd found while digging in the garden in Leicester.
The video shows Annie's horror as realised the mouse was still alive - and it started to run around the home. Annie, a mum of three, said: "I could see her playing in the garden while I was folding washing at the back door.
"I saw her come up to me holding something and she just said 'mouse' - I thought it was dead! She was holding it so casually like it wasn't alive - I thought there was no way.
"Until she put it down on the floor, and it started running around! I was mildly horrified - even then, she didn't even want to let it go, she wanted to keep it as a pet.
"I had this mouse running around my house which I then had to catch again, with Hollie going 'mouse mouse!'" The mother-daughter duo gave the mouse a little snack before releasing it safely back to freedom.
Annie, who filmed the incident last autumn, said: "I couldn't believe it - how does a two year old even catch a live mouse? Even now, I have no idea.
"She just has a way of getting into these situations. She's not scared of anything. Hollie is definitely a free spirit."

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office tapped into a taxpayer-funded expense account to pay for a political event at the governor’s mansion in October, prompting her reelection campaign to quietly reimburse the state two months later.
Documents obtained under a public records request show New Mexicans for Michelle, the governor’s campaign committee, issued the state a $1,837 check in December to pay for expenses stemming from a Democratic Governors Association party hosted by Lujan Grisham in Santa Fe.
At the time, Lujan Grisham was serving as chairwoman of the association, a Washington, D.C.-based political organization dedicated to electing Democratic governors and other candidates.
The reimbursement appeared in the governor’s campaign finance reports as a “campaign event.”
“The campaign transparently and expeditiously reimbursed the state for an event hosted by the Governor as chair of the Democratic Governors Association,” campaign spokeswoman Kendall Witmer said in a statement Wednesday.
Witmer did not provide any other comment or information about the event, and the Democratic Governors Association did not return messages seeking comment.
While the campaign reimbursed the state for purchases related to the event, “the contingency fund does allow for use (of the expense account) to host dignitaries and other guests from any political party,” Maddy Hayden, a spokeswoman for the governor, wrote in an email.
Expenses reimbursed by the campaign include an $890 purchase from Colorado Party Rentals for 100 12-inch ivory-gold chargers, 100 10-inch ivory-gold dinner plates and stainless steel forks, knives and teaspoons.
Lujan Grisham’s contingency fund spending has been a source of controversy in the past, and it’s given the governor’s critics, particularly Republicans hoping to win back control of the Governor’s Office in November, ammunition to use against her as she runs for a second term.
A review of expenditures last year found spending on alcohol, dry cleaning and thousands of dollars worth of groceries for the governor’s mansion, including Wagyu beef, a purchase that has generated stinging criticism against Lujan Grisham.
Complaints about the governor’s spending initiated a “risk review” by the State Auditor’s Office, which found the contingency fund has broad parameters.
“Statutory authority remains ambiguous without definitions (within the law) concerning what constitutes ‘expenses directly connected with obligations of the elected office of governor,’ which could be broadly interpreted, or what could be considered ‘perquisites or allowances for state employees,’ ” according to a report the office issued last year.
“As a result, the New Mexico state Legislature may wish to review the matter and consider whether further statutory clarification is necessary with respect to the fund,” the report stated.
Since the controversy with Lujan Grisham erupted, The New Mexican has been requesting invoices and receipts related to the contingency fund on a regular basis. On April 21, the newspaper made another request for invoices, receipts and expense reports from September to April.
The New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration called the public records request “excessively broad and burdensome” and said it needed additional time to gather the documents, first on May 4 and then again May 6. The department fulfilled the request Friday.
The latest batch of receipts and invoices since September turned up at least eight purchases of alcohol, including liquor, wine and beer.
“The expenses are directly connected with obligations and requirements of the elected office of governor — exactly what the contingency fund is intended to be used for,” Hayden wrote.
Hayden did not respond to numerous questions about the contingency fund spending, including whether the purchase of alcohol is an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
“I noticed you refer to ‘the governor’s contingency fund,’ ” Hayden wrote. “I just want to make sure you are aware that this fund has been available and utilized by many past governors and is budgeted by the state legislature. Governor Lujan Grisham is the first governor to disclose detailed information about the use of the fund to taxpayers and continues to use it in a fiscally responsible manner.”
According to Hayden, less than 19 percent of the total budgeted contingency fund for the year has been spent, leaving around $78,000 unspent.
“During the (administration of former Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican), for the six-month period from July 1 to December 31, 2017, we estimate that average monthly contingency spending was around $5,000 a month, based on records (as there were no reporting requirements at that time). For comparison, the spending you are inquiring about averages to around $2,200 a month,” Hayden wrote.
The fund created headaches for Martinez, too.
Martinez tapped into the fund to pay for what turned out to be a raucous holiday party at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa. The party drew calls to police following reports of bottles being thrown from a balcony — an incident some say may have ended Martinez’s hopes for national office.
At a little over $5,200, spending for the month of September was the highest for Lujan Grisham in the most recent review of invoices and receipts.
Included in the September spending was a $1,551 invoice from Cowgirl BBQ in Santa Fe.
The invoice showed an Aug. 30 delivery to the governor’s mansion of “mesquite smoked BBQ beef brisket” and other dishes for 45 guests.
“This was an evening gathering that honored state employees for their service during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hayden wrote.
The event isn’t listed in the governor’s official schedule, which is posted online. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Governor-s-mansion-used-state-funds-for-party-17207724.php | 2022-05-30T15:36:28Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Governor-s-mansion-used-state-funds-for-party-17207724.php | false | 13 |
Remember the rules when camping
DES MOINES — The summer camping season is underway and Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau chief Sherry Arntzen hopes everyone remembers the rules and etiquette of the great outdoors.
“Don’t forget that our parks are a carry in, carry out so if you’re coming in for the day and having a picnic you carry out your trash when you’re done and we don’t allow burning of trash in our campgrounds,” she says.
Arntzen says you’ll usually have lots of people around you — and it’s important to think of others. “If you’re they’re going for an overnight stay be a good neighbor everybody’s out there wanting to have a good time,” Arntzen says.
She says don’t let crowded conditions ruin your experience. “We ask people to take a step back take a breather and observe those quiet hours and just enjoy your time out there,” she says.
Arntzen says reservations for sites filled quickly, as did the first-come, first-serve sites. | https://www.kglonews.com/remember-the-rules-when-camping/ | 2022-05-30T15:43:17Z | https://www.kglonews.com/remember-the-rules-when-camping/ | false | 1 |
Need to give football players the right exposure: Baichung Bhutia
We need to make sure that the players are given the right exposure, Bhutia told PTI at the sidelines of the inauguration of the Baichung Bhutia Football School BBFS here at the Assam Riffles Public School.He said the aim of starting the BBFS was to ensure that the young talents get the right exposure to football at the right age.Excited for the official exchange of MoU for running a professional football school at the Assam Riffles Public School here, Bhutia said the north east region has a lot of sports talent.For us the NE region is where the talent is.
- Country:
- India
Former India captain Baichung Bhutia on Monday said the football scenario in the country is changing quite a lot and the players need to be given the right exposure.
He said the north east region has a lot of sports talent.
“The football scenario in India is changing quite a lot and the opportunities are much more. We need to make sure that the players are given the right exposure,” Bhutia told PTI at the sidelines of the inauguration of the Baichung Bhutia Football School (BBFS) here at the Assam Riffles Public School.
He said the aim of starting the BBFS was to ensure that the young talents get the right exposure to football at the right age.
Excited for the official exchange of MoU for running a professional football school at the Assam Riffles Public School here, Bhutia said the north east region has a lot of sports talent.
“For us the NE region is where the talent is. It is important to start a centre here. We are looking at promoting and supporting a lot of players,” he said.
The aim of the BBFS is to provide support and guidance to a lot of players with the support of the Government of India through its Khelo India Programme.
Recalling that during his teen days there were no formal training and exposure, Bhutia said he was lucky to be spotted during a match and taken by SAI. He urged the authorities to give their best to ensure that the right exposure is given to the right talents.
Under the BBFS football programme, seven boys from the ARPS are playing for India in the different categories regularly, he said, adding that about 30 students are enjoying 100 per cent scholarship of the BBFS.
At the BBFS/APRS, four boys from Meghalaya including one from Tura and two girls from Shillong are part of the BBFS scholarship programme.
Bhutia said ''we need to make sure that the players are given the right exposure. At BBFS, we are doing our best. My own son is enrolled as a boarder at the BBFS-Gurgaon. He is 12. I am giving him the exposure since he wanted to play football.'' Assam Rifles Director General Lt Gen Pradeep Chandran Nair in his address at the formal exchange of an MoU between the AR and the BBFS said, “North East India is a true powerhouse of sports and has produced notable sportsman including Olympic medalists. The talent of the local youths towards football is the way forward for the future of the Indian Football.” Over 100 footballers from North East region, primarily from Manipur and Mizoram are playing at the top football league in India at the moment and no club is complete without a player from the region, he said.
Established in 1980, the Assam Rifles Public School is run by the Assam Rifles Welfare Education Society. In 2021 the school was converted into a Sports School with an aim to harness the rich sports potential of the youth of the North East.

New Delhi, May 30: While smoking tobacco is known majorly to cause cancer, heart disease, lung diseases, experts on Monday stated it also plays a crucial role in vision loss.
World No Tobacco Day is observed every year on May 31 to spread awareness on several health conditions related to consuming tobacco. Tata Bans Smoking, Consumption of Intoxicating Substance at Workplace for Air India
Nearly 267 million adults in India are users of tobacco, according to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey India.
Several research studies suggest smoking can lead to deterioration of the macula (responsible for central vision). Research also shows that smokers are at five to six times higher risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than non-smokers. AMD is an eye disease that can blur an individual's central vision.
"Smoking can lead to a burning sensation which stings the eyes and causes irritation. Three eye conditions that are most at risk to develop and become worse because of smoking are AMD, cataract, and glaucoma," Dr. Ajay Dudani, CEO Vitreoretinal Surgeon, Mumbai retina centre, told IANS.
In AMD patients, smoking further leads to oxidative damage to the retina with depletion of lutein from the macula (part of retina), Dudani said, adding "smoking can lead to development of AMD 10 years early."
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco use is one of the major causes of death and disease in India and accounts for nearly 1.35 million deaths every year. India is also the second largest consumer and producer of tobacco. A variety of tobacco products are available at very low prices in the country.
The most prevalent form of tobacco use in India is smokeless tobacco and commonly used products are khaini, gutkha, betel quid with tobacco and zarda. Smoking forms of tobacco used are bidi, cigarette and hookah.
"Smoking is as bad for your eyesight as it is for the rest of your body. In many cases it can also lead to severe vision loss if not treated or adhered to treatment on time,a Dr. Ganesh Pillay, Medical director and consultant, ASG Eye hospital, told IANS.
"In addition, tobacco smoke can also affect the tissues present around the eyes causing disorder of the eyelids and under-eye puffiness. Vision loss caused by retinal diseases can't be fully cured. The majority of such cases can also lead to permanent blindness if adequate measures are not taken in time," added Dr. Nitin Prabhudesai, Medical Director at Insight Vision Foundation, Pune.
Smoking can also increase chances of getting diabetes, and can also make managing diabetes more difficult for those who already have it.
"Chemicals in cigarettes harm cells in your body and cause inflammation. This also makes cells stop responding to insulin as nicotine increases your blood sugar levels and makes them harder to handle. People with diabetes who smoke often need high doses of insulin to keep their blood sugar close to their target levels. This leads to difficulty in managing diabetes, which can trigger diabetic retinopathy," said Prabhudesai.
However, if diagnosed on time, smoking induced retinal diseases can be effectively managed, the experts said. The first thing to do is "quit smoking", they noted.
Other things to prevent vision loss is going for regular eye-checkups and adhering to treatments; eating healthy foods and including green leafy vegetables, fruits and foods high in vitamins C, E, and beta carotene; controlling blood pressure and cholesterol; and by staying active.

It is no secret that Andreessen Horowitz is bullish about crypto: Not only does the firm boast that it started to invest in the space a decade ago, but it also debuted a $4.5 billion web3 fund last week.
To understand a16z’s bullishness despite what others have described as a “crypto winter,” its 2022 State of Crypto Report is a good start. Per its disclaimers, the document is not directed to any investors or potential investors — yada, yada, yada. But it does read like an argument for crypto, DeFi, NFTs and all things web3.
The problem, in my view, is that the report’s authors, all of whom are part of a16z’s team, are overstating the current opportunity for crypto. By doing so, they are making it sound bigger than it is — and it may take years to get to that point.
TechCrunch+ is having a Memorial Day sale. You can save 50% on annual subscriptions for a limited time.
That the report takes an optimistic view of crypto is understandable. After all, if you are about to deploy billions in funding into a market, and you are not even alone, the TAM needs to be up to par. But the report is also meant to be an overview of trends, which is why it seems questionable to allude to opportunities that aren’t real yet.
The point that bothered me the most has to do with remittances — money sent cross-border by individuals, typically from a richer country to a poorer one. The World Bank expects that such annual inflows will reach $630 billion in 2022. And yes, there are inefficiencies and fees along the way. For the authors of the a16z report, that’s more than enough to list remittances as an argument for DeFi.
But are remittance payments and money transfers really ripe for crypto disruption? And is DeFi really the right solution to help what the report describes as the “huge part of the world [ … ] underserved by existing financial institutions”? That’s definitely not what I am hearing from the ground — as also confirmed by two founders I reached out to Tomás Bercovich from Global66 and Ryan Newton from Paisa.
Thanks, but no thanks
Just earlier this month, I sat in the audience of the Tech.eu Summit as Wise CEO Kristo Käärmann was interviewed on stage. “Currently, Wise doesn’t accept cryptocurrencies. Do you think,” Bloomberg’s Ivan Levingston asked him, “that this might change at some point?”
This is a recurring question for the fintech company, so Käärmann made sure not to sound dismissive. “I am very excited about the technology,” he said, while also adding that “there are interesting experiments going on all around the world.” But the gist of his answer was still a nail in the crypto coffin. “We are just looking for a use case,” he said. “We’re looking for the problem that we can solve with it.”

Higher commodity prices will also cause external positions to deteriorate further
UAE1 day ago
The ban on single-use plastic bags in Abu Dhabi will come into effect on June 1, Wednesday, following the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) announcement.
Last week, a group of senior executives from major retail outlets in Abu Dhabi signed a voluntary declaration supporting the implementation of the single-use plastic policy.
The retailers are committed to cooperating and securing alternatives, resources, and financing to support environmental protection. They said they were looking at alternatives to single-use plastic bags, which are more sustainable and eco-friendlier.
The EAD launched the single-use of plastics policy in March 2020, which, along with subsequent regulations, will help the emirate’s marine and land environment remain free from single-use plastic waste.
Khaleej Times has come up with a list of expected reusable bags provided by major supermarkets and tips on how to prepare for the ban by keeping the reusable bags and carrying them along wherever going shopping.
Reusable bags being offered by supermarkets in Abu Dhabi
A reusable bag can be used several times compared to single-use paper or plastic shopping bags. They are alternatives to single-use plastic bags, which are more sustainable and eco-friendly. The reusable bags offered by supermarkets in Abu Dhabi include:
Jute bags: These are bags made of jute material, a natural fibre which is made from the outer stem and skin of a jute plant. Jute is an incredibly versatile material which also makes up hessian cloth, however, it is most commonly used now for making durable items such as eco-friendly bags. At Lulu Hypermarkets, each jute bag costs Dh7.5.
Biodegradable bags: These are bags that are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. Living things, like fungi or bacteria, can break them down. Biodegradable bags are made from plant-based materials like corn and wheat starch rather than petroleum. They are available at supermarkets at Dh2.5
New paper bags: These recyclable paper bags are made using different papers, including scrap newspapers. Some companies make these paper bags by reinforcing two layers of the paper with a lining of banana fibre or stitching thread using a resin derived from corn starch. As sheets of newspapers are porous in nature, it absorbs the resin better, making the bag leak-proof to a large extent.
Recycled paper bags: These paper bags are made from used paper which is reprocessed for different purposes. According to data from paperbag.org, in Europe, an average paper bag is reused or recycled 3.5 times before being completely discarded.
Cloth bags: These bags are made from 100 percent cotton, antibacterial and recyclable materials according to the raw materials used. Cloth bags can be used for many years. Lulu Hypermarkets will soon offer these cloth bags at Dh1 each.
Starch-based bags: These are fully biodegradable clear or white carrier bags made from compostable materials - including renewable, natural starches - for a reduced environmental impact. These quality carrier bags have an integral punch handle and are strong enough to help shoppers carry many items.

Sen. Walid Jibrin, Chairman, Board Of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to select an acceptable running mate.
In a congratulatory message he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Keffi LGA, Nasarawa, on Monday, Jibrin lauded the emergence of Atiku as the PDP flag bearer for the presidential election in 2023.
He described the victory at the party convention as a good omen not only for the party, but for the entire country.
“We must remember that Atiku was earlier elected at PDP primaries at Port Harcourt in 2019, but was nakedly sabotaged by APC through unholy way.
“We must remember the good performance of Atiku as Vice President to President Obasanjo; our party must be fully congratulated for playing a good role and of course all our delegates across the 36 states and the FCT,” he said.
The PDP BOT chairman advised the party’s presidential flag bearer to endeavour to pick an acceptable and reliable running mate who would enhance the chances of his victory in the forthcoming election
He also congratulated Sen. David Mark, Chairman of the Electoral Committee and members of his committee for organising one of the best electoral National convention after the Port Harcourt convention chaired by Gov. Okowa of Delta in 2019.
Jibrin, however, advised the members of the party to work together as a team in order to improve their electoral chances at the 2023 general election.
“My advice as the PDP BoT chairman is that the party must come together as one entity, fully together as one party, talking with one voice to make our party the greatest not only in Nigeria, West Africa, but the greatest in Africa irrespective of all differences,” he said.
The BOT chairman described Atiku as a committed patriot and detribalised Nigerian with a mission and vision on how to build a better Nigeria for the benefit of all and sundry.
He assured party members of the BOT’s readiness to offer necessary support and assistance to ensure the victory of the party at all levels.

WASHINGTON — Nearly 100 Sears Hometown stores in the U.S. are holding liquidation sales and closing their doors for good, according to Facebook Posts by each location.
In total, 90 stores in the U.S. and one in Puerto Rico have posted on Facebook about liquidation sales during the past few weeks. At least nine more locations had announced store closing sales in January. Some store posts indicate the sales will continue through early June, while others said the stores will close in late June.
Transformco, which owns Sears and Kmart, did not respond to an email requesting a full list of the Sears stores that are closing. The company acquired Sears Hometown in 2019.
During a 2019 press release announcing it would be closing 96 Sears department store and Kmart locations, Transformco described Sears Hometown as "a network of more than 400 independently-owned and operated, dealer-managed smaller-format stores." It's unclear how many Sears Hometown stores will remain after these upcoming closures. Kmart, which once had more than 2,000 stores, is now down to just three locations.
AXIOS, which was first to report that dozens of Sears Hometown stores would be closing, noted that the Sears and Kmart online store locators are not updated and include some locations that have already closed.
Sears Hometown Store Closings List
This state-by-state list was compiled based on which locations have posted about store closings and liquidation events. Additional stores may be closing that are not yet on this list. Stores with asterisks (***) had announced liquidation sales in January and may already be closed.

GUILDERLAND — Time and time again, the baseball didn’t bounce in favor of Fonda-Fultonville in one of the biggest games of the season Monday afternoon. Ichabod Crane took advantage of Fonda-Fultonville’s struggling pitching staff, several errors and won the Section II Class B semifinal 8-2 at Dutchmen Park in Guilderland.
“We just didn’t have our best performance today, no doubt about it,” Fonda-Fultonville coach Rick Palumbo said. “Their pitcher had us off-balance, but I don’t think our approach at the plate was as good as it should have been and we didn’t get off to a good start on the hill either.”
Ichabod Crane starter Topher Pelesz earned the three-hit win, giving up a run in the first inning and a solo home run to Tyler Daus in the sixth.
“The first couple innings I had nothing really working and I just was throwing fastballs,” Pelesz said. “I couldn’t find my curveball. Then, I started finding the change-up, which helped me a lot and then the last few innings the curveball came around and I had everything working for me.”
Pelesz struck out eight and walked two in the win
Seventh-seeded Fonda-Fultonville (19-2) scored the opening run after Jackson Croucher walked, advanced to third on a Daus single, and scored on Derek Duval’s sacrifice fly to left.
No. 3 Ichabod Crane (15-6) responded in the bottom half of the first inning when Pelesz walked and scored on Nate Garafalo’s two-run home run for a 2-1 lead.
“That just really just charged us up and I don’t think we ever came down after that,” Ichabod Crane coach Brian McComb said. “To give him run support is what has been the most important thing all year and for every other pitcher we have, but that was huge, huge run support. That got us up and we never came back down.”
Meanwhile Fonda-Fultonville could not catch a break.
Starting pitcher Jackson Croucher lasted less than two innings, giving up six runs, four earned. Two runs scored on a misplayed ball to the outfield as part of the four-run second for Ichabod Crane.
Things went from bad to worse in the second for Fonda-Fultonville when left fielder Karsen Bulan raced to his right and dove for a ball in foul territory, hitting his head on the grass on the play. He was checked out, and then removed from the game as a precaution.
Daus came on in relief and also had challenges finding the strike zone.
With two on and two out, Ichabod Crane batter Kyle Bartlett checked his swing on a potential third strike. An appeal was made to the base umpire who ruled he did not swing. The next pitch turned into a slow grounder to third, was bobbled and then thrown wide to first base allowing two more runs to score for an 8-1 lead.
“We dropped a routine fly ball, a couple bad plays in the infield, just some weird things,” Palumbo said. “The last four innings, I thought defensively we played a lot better, pitching got better but it was too late. Too much happened in the first two innings, that was our fault.”
The lone late highlight belonged to Daus, hitting a leadoff home run in the sixth, but it was the most Fonda-Fultonville could muster.
Ichabod Crane will face No. 4 Schuylerville, a 9-7 upset winner over No. 1 Catskill, Wednesday at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy.
A five-run sixth inning by the Black Horses helped stave off a five-run rally by Catskill in the bottom of the seventh for the win.
Owen Sherman went 2 for 3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBIs to lead Schuylerville. Ryan Down went 2 for 4 with two runs scored and an RBI for the Black Horses.
Catskill pitchers Cullen Fulling and Eddie Rogers combined for 14 strikeouts in the loss.

Val Kilmer’s Iceman is back in Top Gun: Maverick, reuniting with Tom Cruise’s high-flying aviator 36 years after the original movie.
In Tony Scott’s 1986 classic, Kilmer and Cruise’s tempered, not-at-all homoerotic tension drives the movie, whether they’re teeth-chomping, playing volleyball on the beach smothered in baby oil, or, by the end of the film, putting aside their differences and becoming each other’s wingmen.
It’s one of the most iconic movie rivalries. However, there was some uncertainty over the appearance of Iceman in Top Gun: Maverick, given the actor’s health in recent years.
Fear not: Cruise is said to have “rallied hard” for him to join the cast, and their scene together ranks most emotional in the movie.

Top Gun: Maverick spoilers ahead, you’ve been warned…
Val Kilmer’s cameo in Top Gun: Maverick explained
Early in the film, it’s made clear that while Maverick has remained a Captain his entire career, Iceman has gone on to become the US Pacific Fleet’s Commander. Not only that, but any time Maverick has found himself on the wrong side of the Navy, Iceman has always come to his rescue.
After Maverick risks his wings to push the Darkstar to Mach 10, he narrowly escapes being grounded forever when Iceman orders him to return to Top Gun and train a team of graduates for a mission the likes of which they’ve never seen.

The pair communicate via text for most of the film, until Iceman summons Maverick to his home. There, his wife informs Maverick that “it’s come back”, implying some form of cancer that’s impacted his ability to speak without any pain.
Maverick then meets him in his room, where they talk about Rooster (Miles Teller, playing the son of the late Goose). For most of the scene, Iceman talks to Maverick by typing his words on a computer, before making an effort to speak aloud. “The Navy needs Maverick,” he tells him.
At the end of the scene, they hug, before Iceman asks: “Who’s the better pilot, you or me?” Maverick replies: “This is a nice moment, let’s not ruin it,” prompting laughter from both of them (and everyone in the audience, if you’ve got a good crowd).

Soon after, it’s revealed that Iceman has passed away, with Maverick, Penny (Jennifer Connelly), Rooster, and the other Top Gun fighter pilots attending the funeral.
How Val Kilmer was able to speak in Top Gun: Maverick
In 2017, Kilmer publicly revealed his throat cancer diagnosis. While he’s undergone years of chemotherapy treatments, radiation and a tracheotomy – to the point he’s now cancer-free – Kilmer lost his voice in the process. “Speaking, once my joy and lifeblood, has become an hourly struggle,” he wrote in his memoir.
Using old recordings of his voice, Kilmer worked with tech firm Sonantic to create an AI version of his voice for Top Gun: Maverick, making it appear as if he’s actually speaking in the film. While built using past recordings, the voice itself is entirely synthetic.

Kilmer earlier praised the company for “masterfully restoring my voice in a way I’ve never imagined possible.”
As per Fortune, he said: “As human beings, the ability to communicate is the core of our existence, and the effects from throat cancer have made it difficult for others to understand me. The chance to tell my story, in a voice that feels authentic and familiar, is an incredibly special gift.”
How to watch Val Kilmer’s 2021 documentary
Val, released in 2021 and directed by Leo Scott and Ting Poo, is a documentary which chronicles the life and career of Kilmer through his fame and experiences with throat cancer. The film, assembled into a 108-minute feature from 800 hours of footage, is narrated by Kilmer’s son Jack, reading the actor’s own words.

The Toyota GR86 makes me sad.
Not for anything it’s done but for what it represents, which is the end of something great.
The dinky two-door 2+2 will only be on sale for two years and when it’s gone there won’t be any direct replacement. Making matters worse, the UK’s entire allocation is already sold out.
As the world goes ever-more electric and tech-driven, there’s apparently no space for simple, light and sporty petrol cars any more.
Which is a tragedy when they can be as good as this.
Priced from £29,995, the GR86 is, predictably, the successor to the GT86, which won plaudits for being a relatively cheap and massively entertaining small sports car with not much power and not much grip but bags of character and driving thrills.
Based on the same platform, the GR86 is nonetheless a much changed car, with a bigger, more powerful engine, more grip and a heap of chassis engineering designed to answer the few criticisms of the old car.
Chief among those criticisms was always that the GT86’s 197bhp just wasn’t enough.
To answer that, the engineers have bored out the old 2.0-litre flat-four to 2.4 litres and thrown a heap of engineering expertise at it. Everything from the fuel pump to the valve stems have been reworked to make the engine lighter and more efficient. The result is 231bhp, and a step up in torque from 151lb ft to 184lb ft. The torque curve has also been flattened, offering a more linear progression and welcome additional pull at lower revs.
The chassis and body have also been given a thorough going over to handle the extra power, cut weight, improve rigidity and lower the car’s centre of gravity, all in the name of agility.
There are more lightweight, high-strength materials and additional bonding and bracing, which have helped bring a 50% improvement in lateral rigidity. The use of aluminium for the roof, wings and bonnet has helped bring down the car’s centre of gravity and the suspension has been tuned and strengthened. Even the driver’s seat has been redesigned in the name of weight saving.
The result of all that work is something more powerful and grippier than before but that still feels eminently playful and fun.
At 1,276kg, the GR86 proves that less mass is more important than tonnes of power. The benefits of a low kerbweight are that it’s chuckable and nimble in a way so many “faster” cars aren’t.
Whether you’re sweeping along a twisting mountain pass or making the most of a track day, the GR86 flits along with a beguiling deftness, flowing with the road rather than fighting against it. Direction changes via the slim steering wheel are immediate and true to driver’s input, while the body stays flat and controlled - or as controlled as you want. Like its predecessor, the GR86 is happy to dance and squirm around as much or as little as you like.
And you have confidence to exploit that because the whole car is so communicative. From the refreshingly light but feelsome steering to the seat-of-the-pants sensations the best sports cars deliver, you’re constantly fed information about exactly what the car is doing.
Buyers in Europe get the option of a 17-inch wheel with the same low-grip Michelin Primacy tyre fitted to the old GT but the UK is only getting the 18-inch wheel with a specially developed Pilot Sport 4 designed to offer more grip. Any fears that this gripper tyre might make the GR86 too planted are unfounded and the GR offers the same delightful balance between grip and slip as its predecessor.
The extra power of that bigger engine brings a welcome extra turn of pace - 0-62mph is cut from 7.6 to 6.3 seconds and the extra torque means you can spend less time hunting through the ratios. That said, the flat-four will still happily rev up to 7,000rpm and the manual shift is so light and snappy that there’s a real pleasure to flicking through gears.
The engine sound is now synthesised rather than being fed direct from the manifold into the cabin via a tube and although not the sweetest sound on earth it has a raw, raucous edge that’s in keeping with the car’s fizzing on-road attitude.
As a package, it is just a joyously direct and agile experience that puts the driver at the centre of everything and leaves you grinning from ear to ear.
For all the reengineering and redesigning under the skin, from the outside the GR86 is clearly related to the GT86. From a distance, the low, cab-backward silhouette is easily recognisable. There are relatively big changes up close, however, designed to freshen the car’s look and improve aerodynamics. The front features new headlights and a new grille with unique “G” pattern mesh that echoes the design of the GR Supra and Yaris. There are huge air dams flanking the grille and active air intakes behind the front wheels. At the rear the wings have been reshaped and a subtle duck-tail spoiler apes the upturned rear of big brother Supra.
Inside, the GR86 emphasises its brief to be a simple sports car. There are all the mod cons you’d expect - from a seven-inch touchscreen and USB ports to heated seats and digital dials but it’s unfussy and straightforward, perhaps even a little basic. There’s a proper handbrake, the heater controls are big dials and the digital instruments are a massive rev counter that incorporates the speedo and is flanked by a trip computer and fuel and temperature data. The seats and doors are finished in a mix of “Ultrasuede” and perforated leather and elsewhere solid but dull black plastics dominate.
Despite its relatively small footprint, you don’t feel crushed in the cabin. Even those well over six feet will fit and while the rear +2 seats are a waste of space, the interior feels surprisingly accommodating. Fold the rear seats down and it’ll even still hold a set of four extra wheels in the back for track days - another nod to Toyota’s vision of this as an enthusiast’s car.
Toyota bills the GR86 as an analogue car for the digital world which is, of course, a conveniently catchy marketing line. But it has a point. The GR86 feels connected and communicative in a way that so few cars are any more. There’s really only this and the smaller, less powerful Mazda MX-5 left to show how great small, affordable sports cars can be.
So yes, we should shed a tear that the GR86 is the last of a dying breed but while it’s here we should celebrate and enjoy it.

In the world of Minecraft, Iron is one of the most used items, even in Minecraft 1.18. It is one of the first few items that players gather after entering a new world. Once raw iron is smelted into iron ingots, it can be used in a plethora of ways within the game. Whether it's used to craft new and strong gear, or to activate a beacon, players of every level need this vital material.
With one of the biggest updates for the game released by Mojang, Minecraft 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part 2, ore generation in the world has changed drastically. Players who return to the game after a while will notice that the common Y levels at which these materials are generated have changed. Players should understand the ore distribution changes to know where iron is most commonly generated.
What is the most common iron level in Minecraft 1.18?
Understanding Ore distribution change in Minecraft 1.18
In the Minecraft 1.18 update, the world generation changed completely as the bedrock layer shifted down 64 levels, creating a huge area underground for ore blocks to generate. Consequently, the ore distribution in the game was also updated.
After the update, Diamonds, which used to be common at Y level 11, shifted down to Y level -58, while Emeralds became much more common in the mountains. Iron was affected in the same way.
Previously, players used to find iron ore blocks below sea level in the caves. However, after the update, players can find them more commonly in the mountains. If they are lucky, they might also find iron underground in the form of ore veins. Fortunately, these ore veins can easily give players several stacks of iron.
Most common Y level for iron in Minecraft 1.18
By studying the ore distribution chart released by Mojang back when Caves and Cliffs Update Part 2 came out, the best Y level for iron can be determined. The most common iron level in Minecraft 1.18 is Y level 232. This might come as a shock to some players because this means that iron will generate the most in the mountains. As shown above, the ore distribution chart shows a huge bulge at the very top.
Hence, if players find any type of mountain that is not snow-laden, they might have a good chance of finding loads of iron. Alternatively, players can also find it in a good amount at Y level 16. If players are looking for large iron ore veins, they will find them between Y level -8 and -56. If players want to increase the amount of raw iron they can obtain from an ore, they can use Fortune enchantment on their pickaxe. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/the-common-iron-level-minecraft-1-18 | 2022-05-30T16:45:29Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/the-common-iron-level-minecraft-1-18 | true | 1 |
Former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw is certain that Henry Cejudo's retirement from the UFC was a "ploy" for the UFC to pay him more money. Cejudo retired from the UFC in 2020 while championing both the bantamweight and flyweight divisions.
Henry Cejudo and T.J. Dillashaw faced each other in 2019 as Dillashaw made his flyweight debut to try and capture the gold. 'Triple C' dispatched the Californian in the first round via TKO, successfully defending the flyweight title in the process.
After their fight, Dillashaw tested positive for Erythropoietin, a performance enhancing drug. The Californian was stripped of his bantamweight title and in the same year, the self-proclaimed 'King of Cringe' became a multi-weight champion, stepping up a division and winning the vacated title.
Speaking during a recent appearance on Submission Radio, Dillashaw was asked his thoughts on Cejudo's announcement that he is returning to the UFC. Dillashaw didn't mince words and said:
"When he retired, I think it was kind of a ploy to try and get paid more because he believed he was worth more than he was. But the UFC was like, 'We don't give a shit, we dont like you.' But I knew he was eventually going to come back. He's a competitor. He's a gold medalist and a champion in the UFC. He's got that competition in his blood. I feel like he quit a little early but like I said it was something he did to try and get paid more so he's back."

Chael Sonnen believes T.J. Dillashaw deserves a title shot
The always-outspoken Chael Sonnen has made yet another bold statement. 'The American Gangster' believes that Dillashaw deserves a title fight next despite only having one fight since his finishing his USADA suspension.
In a recent video, Sonnen explained that the only thing to have defeated Dillashaw was a drugs test despite the American having lost four fights in the UFC.
Chael Sonnen said:
“No man has beaten him but a p*ss test did. Unless that p*ss test continues to hold him back, is that the argument? Maybe. Maybe he shouldn’t be given an opportunity that should go to you, if you’ve offered to face him. That’s the litmus test. Are you willing to face him, are you willing to take it from him.”
Although there has been no official announcement by the UFC, Dillashaw seems certain he is next in line for the title. Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling initially called Dillashaw out in his post-fight interview at UFC 273.
The former titleholder last fought in 2021 when he defeated Cory Sandhagen via split decision. Dillashaw had been hoping to be more active after the fight but suffered an injury that kept him out of action until now.

Pull up Google on Monday, and you'll see a doodle of a Black man next to a stack of patents, gazing at an old-fashioned train.
That's Elijah McCoy, the revolutionary Black inventor who was born 178 years ago today.
McCoy's parents escaped slavery in Kentucky on the Underground Railroad and settled in Canada, where they gave birth to their son in 1844.
At age 15, McCoy traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland to study mechanical engineering. But when he returned home to his family – now living in Ypsilanti, Mich. – he couldn't find a job as an engineer because of his race, according to the Detroit Historical Society.
Instead, McCoy went to work as a fireman for the Michigan Central Railroad, where part of his job was to lubricate engine components.
At that time, engines had to be stopped and lubricated before they could be restarted, the National Inventors Hall of Fame said, which was an inefficient process.
That's when McCoy had his big idea: an automatic lubricator that kept engines oiled while they were in operation.
McCoy patented his invention in 1872 and continued to improve on the design.
The innovation was a smash hit and found its way into "long distance locomotives, transatlantic ships, and factory machines," the hall of fame noted. But as with most any successful new creation, McCoy's automatic lubricator spawned an array of knock-offs.
It is suspected, though not confirmed, that customers who wanted to buy McCoy's invention specifically – and not an imitation – began asking for "the real McCoy," a phrase that's used today to describe something authentic.

Dancing on Ice’s Brianne Declourt shares newborn daughter’s unusual name
Professional skater on Dancing on Ice, Brianne Delcourt welcomed her baby girl into the world at the end of April and has now announced her name and has opened up about her ‘traumatic’ birth story.
The 41-year-old and her footballer husband Kevin Kilbane welcomed baby Keavy Anne via C-section. Keavy is an Irish name and is known to mean ‘gentle’ or ‘precious’. Delcourt explained, “Keavy is obviously named after Kevin and the Anne is named after me too”.
Brianne told OK Magazine that her birth did not go to plan as she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when she was around 22 weeks along, as well as doctors finding something in Keavy’s abdominal wall during an ultrasound . “I had no symptoms whatsoever. I had to prick myself four times a day with a needle to make sure my bloods were ok”.
The mum-of-three went on to say, “I actually lost a bit of weight at the end of my pregnancy, which isn’t always good”, but said that after she gave birth, her diabetes went away. “It was horrible but it all faded away, so thank goodness”.
During the dancer’s C-section, she felt very unwell and said, “the actual surgery took the longest out of my births. With the other two girls it was a 30 minute procedure and then I could hear a cry, but with Keavy it was way over an hour”.
When telling OK about the birth, she admitted that she made her husband go check on their newborn because they hadn’t heard a cry after her ‘gruesome’ birth. “This is quite gruesome but blood had splattered right in our faces and she came out but then we didn’t hear a thing. I’m panicking at this stage and saying to Kevin, ‘Ok, talk to me. What’s going on?”
Kevin revealed that their daughter wasn’t breathing properly and had “tubes down her throat”.
“Literally five minutes after that I heard the first cry. I could still cry now thinking about it. Both Kevin and I just started bawling”.
After the birth, Brianne’s doctor gave her some hard news. “The doctor looked at me and said, ‘Please don’t have any more C-sections’. She said that after three there’s a lot of damage there. She tried to fix as much as she could and that’s why the surgery with Keavy took a lot longer”.

Charlie Haas believes Curtis Axel could have been a major star like Randy Orton if WWE booked him differently.
Axel, real name Joe Hennig, is the son of Hall of Famer “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig. The 42-year-old was given the name Michael McGillicutty in 2010 before being repackaged as Curtis Axel in 2013.
Haas, a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion, cannot understand why Axel’s family history was ignored earlier in his career. Speaking to Inside The Ropes’ Liam Alexander-Stewart, he also compared the former Intercontinental Champion to fellow third-generation performer Orton.
“Joe Hennig, Curt Hennig’s son, third-generation wrestler, how in the hell can you go out and be a McGillicutty?” Haas said. “If you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, how can you go out and get that guy over? Let him be Joe Hennig. Let him be a third-generation superstar, which he should be, up there with Randy Orton.” [17:54-18:12]
Axel received his release on April 30, 2020 after 13 years with WWE. He recently returned to the company as a producer.
What did Curtis Axel achieve in WWE?
In 2013, it looked as though Curtis Axel was en route to fulfilling his potential as one of wrestling's brightest young stars. With Paul Heyman by his side, he recorded wins over Chris Jericho, John Cena, and Triple H before capturing the Intercontinental Championship at Payback 2013.
Unfortunately, that moment turned out to be the peak of Axel’s career. Although he won tag titles with David Otunga and Bo Dallas, the former Nexus member often struggled to receive regular television time.
His final match ended in defeat against Daniel Bryan on the February 28, 2020 episode of SmackDown.

After years of trying to have a baby without success, Brenna Kaminski and her husband, Joshua Pritt, decided to try in vitro fertilization.
Only 15 states require insurance to cover fertility treatments, and Florida, where Kaminski and Pritt live, isn't one of them. Still, the couple's insurance, from Pritt's job at an energy company, did — putting them among the fortunate minority of Americans whose insurance plan covers the pricey fertility procedure. Kaminski and Pritt gamed out what their share of the cost would be for one round of IVF: $2,700, the out-of-pocket maximum under their policy.
Instead, after many twists and turns with two specialty practices, they paid more than $15,000 for two rounds of IVF, including all medicines. And, as is true for the majority of the procedures nationally (success rates vary from 12% to 49% depending on a patient's age), neither round resulted in a viable pregnancy. "This whole thing has been a nightmare," said Kaminski, 37, who does freelance marketing and writing. "The stress has been unbelievable."
About 1 in 5 women have trouble getting pregnant, and IVF has become a common path to parenthood for many. But even as demand grows, insurance coverage remains limited. About 27% of companies with 500 or more employees covered IVF in 2020, up from about 24% in 2015, according to Mercer, a consulting firm.
"Infertility is a disease and should be treated as such, and insurance coverage should reflect that," said Dr. Kara Goldman, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University. "Coverage is often incomplete because people too often don't see infertility as equal to other diseases."
Kaminski's insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, offered a list of in-network IVF providers near the couple's home in Melbourne, Fla. For in-network care, the couple would be responsible for 20% of the costs. For out-of-network care, they would have to pay 40%.
The first in-network specialists they tried, in spring 2020, had an office nearby, in Viera, Fla. But after seeing the doctor, they learned they had to travel 3½ hours to Miami, where the physician performed the IVF procedures over three separate visits.
The couple paid about $2,700 out-of-pocket for the medicines alone. They also paid an additional $500 because the fertility clinic required them to use an out-of-network lab for blood tests.
In November 2020, the couple decided to try again, with another fertility medical group listed in their Blue Cross provider network. It was in Winter Park, Fla., about an hour's drive from their home.
Kaminski visited with doctors at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, and they scheduled her to begin the procedure at their facility in the same building. But that facility, the Orlando Avenue Surgery Center, was not in the Blue Cross network.
Kaminski said the surgery center told her that it was likely to be added to the Blue Cross network soon, and she appealed to the insurer for a waiver to have the center's care considered in-network. She was told by customer service agents for the insurer that she'd get the waiver, but she didn't get that confirmed in writing. Still, she went through with the procedure.
It took place in 2021, and Kaminski again expected to pay about $2,700 out-of-pocket for the care from the IVF specialist in Winter Park. She knew she would face separate out-of-pocket costs for the medications used in IVF.
But because her care was deemed out of network by Blue Cross, Kaminski said, she was billed more than $6,000 by the clinic and its surgery center. That was in addition to nearly $4,000 in out-of-pocket drug costs.
Kaminski has spent nearly a year trying to get Blue Cross to treat her second round of IVF as in-network. She said it's unfair for Blue Cross to have listed the Winter Park fertility clinic in its provider network if its doctors performed the actual IVF procedure in an out-of-network surgery center. The surgery center is owned by some of the clinic's doctors.
In a statement to KHN, the Center for Reproductive Medicine's executive director, Stephen Brown, wouldn't address Kaminski's case specifically even though she had given permission for him to discuss it. In an email, Brown wrote that the clinic was transparent with all its patients that its surgery center was not in Blue Cross' network.
Brown said low reimbursement rates aren't what has kept the surgery center out of the Blue Cross network. Instead, he said, the insurer didn't act quickly, taking more than four years to add the surgery center to its provider network. "The reason for not initially being in network with BCBS was based solely on the lack of response from BCBS," Brown said.
Before any treatment is done, Brown said, the clinic gives its patients estimates of the costs of their procedures based on their insurance. Kaminski received an estimate that said she could expect to pay $3,000 to $4,000 just for the transfer of the embryos grown in the lab into her uterus.
In March 2021 — about a month after Kaminski completed her treatment — the Winter Park surgery center was added to Blue Cross' provider network.
In February 2022, KHN reached out to the provider and insurer. Within two weeks, Blue Cross told the couple it would consider all the services they received at the surgery center in-network, and it paid all its bills in full. Kaminski and Pritt no longer owed anything to the center. Blue Cross had initially said it would pay a nominal portion of disputed bills that totaled $21,450 for care in 2020 and 2021 because the surgery center was out of network.
Blue Cross also confirmed to the couple that in January 2021 it had granted them a waiver so all the surgery center's bills could be considered in-network. Mistakenly, the waiver hadn't been applied, so they faced the high out-of-network charges.
"It's finally making logical sense," Pritt said after learning that their billing dispute was resolved. "It's good to know we won't be getting any more bills."
After Blue Cross decided to cover the IVF in Winter Park, the couple received $1,600 back from Orlando Avenue Surgery Center.
John Simley, a spokesperson for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, said: "With non-routine waivers, mistakes can happen. The good news is they generally get fixed quickly."
In this case, though, it took nearly a year.
Experts say Kaminski's case shows that even when people have coverage for IVF, they can be left with huge bills. Also, insurers' lists of in-network providers are not always accurate. "It feels like a bait-and-switch," said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor and co-director of the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University.
A new federal insurance law, the No Surprises Act, went into effect in January 2022. It says patients don't have to pay more than the in-network cost sharing amount if the insurer's provider directory gave inaccurate information.
Whether the law would apply in cases such as Kaminski and Pritt's is unclear. Even if it did, the law took effect too late for them.
Betsy Campbell, chief engagement officer at Resolve: The National Infertility Association, a patient advocacy organization, said Kaminski's case shows that insurance coverage isn't always designed around the patient. "Infertility treatment is a series of very complex procedures involving lab work, surgery, anesthesia, and it needs to be provided in a way that the insurance system has not always respected," she said.
Too often, insurance makes a couple jump through hoops to get the care they need, Campbell said. "Everyone should have the right to build a family, and it should not matter what employer you work for, or what state you live in, or how big a check you can write," Campbell said.
Kaminski and Pritt aren't giving up on having children. For now, they're pursuing other fertility treatments that aren't IVF.

Such an experience seems a million miles away for us mere mortals, but now you could realistically be 'the other half' for a week.
We jumped at the chance to board a chartered cruise around some of the beautiful Dalmatian coast islands on the amazing superyacht Freedom, courtesy of Goolets, one of the leading companies for luxury crewed charter yachts in Croatia.
The company started some 17 years ago, fast carving out a niche as providers of luxury wooden motor sailers known as Gulets, but soon recognised the growing trends for deluxe yachting, especially around Croatia, and so rode this fast-developing crest of a wave, tweaking their name to be arguably the foremost luxury yachting company in the region.
So let's look at what customers can expect during a week on board Freedom. This 50m superyacht received a million-euro revamp during lockdown, and saw its 20 cabins reduced to just 11 to incorporate even more for a maximum of 24 customers. As such, it is a one-of-a-kind boat in the world with regard to its size, make-up, build and level of luxury according to Goolets.
As you wander around the yacht's customer-accessible four decks you are assailed with gleaming stainless steel, bespoke deck and interior furniture and high-end fixtures and fittings at every corner. The opulent and spacious en-suite cabins are to die for with every detail considered and stylishly finished off, with air con, flatscreen TV and Bluetooth ceiling speaker system to connect your phone's music to.
There's a cinema/console games room, sauna, gym, massage area, swimming pool and deck spa pool jacuzzi, with built-in blue night lights and the omnipresent Bluetooth speakers to listen to your favourite Spotify tracks as you relax in the bubbles with a cocktail.
But the jewel in the crown is the crew itself. We were placed in the capable hands of Captain Ivan and his deck-hand crew of three, and our every - and I mean every - need was taken care of by our chief hostess Martina, her assistant Dina and cocktail supremo head barman Zoran, all of whose smiles, flawless efficiency and professionalism were present from start to finish. Housekeeping staff and a masseuse were also on board.
Immaculately ornate table settings were completely justified to herald the amazing international dishes using locally-sourced fresh produce prepared by the talented head and assistant chefs, complimented by some robust red, delicious white and fragrant dessert Croatian wines.
So now to the country itself. We enjoyed a smooth, relaxing flight from Manchester to Split courtesy of Jet2.com airways, and the amazing 360-degree vista of the Dalmatian mountains greeting us as we stepped onto the Tarmac was a fitting beginning to what was an unforgettable experience.
Never having been to Croatia before I found this country to be a hidden gem, possibly the cleanest country I have travelled to. The landscape is peppered with verdant greenery only broken up by gorgeous Roman and Venetian architecture and traditional Croatian cream-walled and red-tiled buildings, all bathed in 30 degree temperatures and surrounded by azure skies and turquoise clear waters, making every stop-off a picturesque paradise.
Freedom was moored in Split harbour so we were first able to take in the rich history of this important walled city, the former palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian which is not just still standing but also being lived in, despite its being built at end of the 3rd century. For me the city has one of the prettiest promenades of bars and restaurants by the harbour I have seen, where Croatians and visitors alike join to make this a buzzing place to visit, especially in the evening.
Our trip then saw us cruise to some beautiful spots and islands, including the island of Brac and its beautiful ever-changing beach the Golden Horn, the town of Jelsa on Hvar, famous for its vineyards and wines, and the highlight for me being the capital city of Hvar, a climb to the fortress on the hill affording some amazing views and photo opportunities. We enjoyed stop-offs in secluded and tranquil bays to enjoy the ship's water toys, including jet skis, SeaBobs, paddleboards, electric hydrofoil and a waterslide. Some of these are extras - but more of that later.
To give you an idea of prices, 100 Croatian Kuna at the time of writing was just over £11 (nine Kuna to the pound), and so a meal at an inexpensive restaurant in Split would be between 50 and 80 Kuna, a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant around 250-300kn, a domestic half-litre (pint) of beer around 18kn and a Coke 15kn in Split bars, but expect to pay a little more on the island stops.
So back to my earlier claim of living like the other half - still not convinced? Well, to charter something similar to Freedom in Italy or France for a week would be in the region of 500 to 600,000 euros (£425k to £510k) which would be too much for many of us, but Goolets can give you the same luxury level on board Freedom around Croatia for a fifth of that price. You heard me right, a FIFTH.
So your group of 24, be it a wedding party, extended family cruise, group of friends, corporate trip, could all chip in for a starting and ballpark charter price (boat, crew, four hours of cruising, linen, wifi) of 100,000 euros (£85k at the time of writing).
So that's roughly £3500 per person, a similar price to going on a regular high-end cruise, for - and let me remind you again - a SUPERYACHT! And this travels to, unlike a regular cruise ship, wherever YOU want, with the people YOU know, and with everything YOU want to do all pre-arranged for you.
This is because also included in the price is a Goolets concierge assistant who will guide you through your bespoke package of food and beverages and every other element of your trip from start to finish so that all you do is turn up, sit back and leave yourself in Goolets' professional hands to enjoy Freedom and Croatia - two unbelievable and unforgettable jewels in the Adriatic.

PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police said Monday they're trying to determine what led up to a shooting that left an 18-year-old man dead and five other people injured.
The injured included an 18-year-old man, a 17-year-old boy, two 16-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl, police said in a statement.
