The Hyderabad-headquartered pharmaceutical major had generated a buzz in the market in March, when it was reported that it is proceeding towards selling a majority stake in the injectable business to private equity major Blackstone.
Moneycontrol, however, reported on May 27 that the mega deal is facing a hurdle due the differences that have emerged between the two entities. “Blackstone was seen as the frontrunner for this proposed transaction via which Aurobindo Pharma was looking to unlock value. But post due diligence the negotiations have hit a roadblock and the deal structure proposed by Blackstone is not agreeable to the sellers,” a source privy to the development said. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/earnings/aurobindo-pharmas-q4-net-profit-down-28-revenue-slips-to-rs-5809-crore-8607321.html | 2022-05-30T17:19:31Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/earnings/aurobindo-pharmas-q4-net-profit-down-28-revenue-slips-to-rs-5809-crore-8607321.html | false | 2 |
WWE has announced the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is set to respond to Seth Rollins on tonight’s “WWE Raw,” which is the go-home episode for the red brand ahead of WWE Hell In A Cell. Last week, Rollins whipped Rhodes’ back with own weight belt — the former AEW star will get the chance to react before the two men step inside the steel structure this Sunday.
After Shinsuke Nakamura and Riddle began working together on “WWE SmackDown” last week, the two of them will pair up tonight to take on the Usos. Both men are out for revenge due to the Undisputed Tag Team Champions injuring their respective partners, Rick Boogs and Randy Orton, and if they can get the win, they will become the number one contenders for the titles.
Lacey Evans is also set to make her in-ring return on this show, finally competing inside the ring after weeks of build-up on both “Raw” and “SmackDown,” which has seen Evans tap into her real life in order to develop her character.
“Raw” Women’s Champion Bianca Belair is also set to be in action this evening as she goes one on one with Asuka ahead of Hell In A Cell. The two women will be involved in a triple threat match alongside Becky Lynch this Sunday with the title on the line, but which wrestler will take the momentum going into that show?
Also announced for tonight’s show is a contract signing between Bobby Lashley and his current rivals Omos and MVP. They are scheduled to compete in a two-on-one handicap match at Hell In A Cell, and on “Raw” tonight they will make that encounter official.
The following line-up is announced for tonight:
- Cody Rhodes responds to Seth Rollins
- The Usos vs. Riddle & Shinsuke Nakamura (#1 Contendership Match – If Riddle and Nakamura win they get a shot at the Undisputed Tag Team Titles
- Bianca Belair vs. Asuka
- Lacey Evans returns
- Contract signing for Bobby Lashley’s handicap match with Omos and MVP at WWE Hell In A Cell

Dad aims to stop bullying by holding ‘kindness’ signs outside daughter’s school
UXBRIDGE, Mass. (WCVB) – A father in Massachusetts is dedicated to sending positive messages at his daughter’s school.
For the past week, Stephen Mandile has been standing in front of Whitin Middle School holding a homemade sign that reads, “Choose kindness always.”
Although the sign is simple, Mandile’s mission is not.
“That feeling of, you know, the world’s kind of beating you down and you’re looking for a little ray of hope, that’s all we’re trying to do,” Mandile said.
He’s now known to students as “the kindness guy” and has even brought teachers to tears.
Mandile’s daughter Jessica said bullying has recently gotten out of hand at the school, and her dad’s positive messages nearly bring her to tears.
Fellow parents are also feeling the love.
“[The students] have a hard day sometimes. So, if they see something positive, it’s good for them,” parent Renee Smith said.
Mandile said he has talked to the school’s principal about other ways to help, and he now has plans to read to students as well.
“We believe, you know, being kind, you can never make a mistake doing that, it’s always the right choice,” Mandile said.

The weirdest memorabilia released to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
In anticipation of the Platinum Jubilee celebration, we trawled online stores in search of the most gorgeous, elegant pieces of memorabilia to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reign.
We catalogued these expertly made, tasteful souvenirs here.
However, during our jaunt through all things jubbly, we discovered that all merchandise designed to celebrate the monarchy is not created equal.
The Platinum ‘jubbly’ and crazy leggings
You may have read the story of the Chinese manufacturer that accidentally created some 10,600 commemorative tea sets, mugs and decorative plates with the inscription “the Platinum Jubbly of Queen Elizabeth II” on them by mistake.
You can currently purchase these errata-marked pieces of table-ware at a designated store online.
But while the Jubbly mugs were a sincere printing error, the more unusual memorabilia we encountered seem to have been created intentionally.
These more bizarre pieces of Platinum paraphernalia may be sincerely intended as celebrations of Her Majesty.
Alternatively, they may be a subtle means of undermining the fact that an accident of birth determines the head of the UK’s state and church (and that we get to fund those who won this genetic lottery).
What you believe may depend on your cynicism/politics. Or tolerance for leggings emblazoned with an elderly lady’s face.
Here’s the cream of the crop
Platinum Jubilee Original Throw Blanket
So you’re a royal subject on the streets, but are you one between the sheets?
Cosy up in the bosomy embrace of the crown with this commemorative fleece. Ideal for setting the scene if you’re bringing a new paramour home. Maybe.
Aldi’s Kevin the Carrot Queen Jubilee Soft Toy Set
Purchase the Queen Kevin-the-Carrot soft toy. At night, when you close your eyes, her image will flicker beneath your eyelids. You’ll hear scurrying across the floorboards. Spy a flash of purple and orange our of the corner of your eye. And finally, this nightmare creation will strike...
Queen and Queen’s Guards Dabbing - Baby Onesie
We understand, and fully agree, that almost any image looks cute if you slap it on a baby’s onesie.
We also understand, sort of, that someone suitably dedicated to the monarchy might want to place the royal insignia or even Madge’s famous face on their child’s onesies.
We have to admit, though, if you asked us the rationale behind putting a cartoon of the Queen and her guards dabbing on a baby’s onesie... we’re a little lost.
Cute, though.
Queens Jubilee Chocolate Orange Cover
Shopping for someone who has everything?
We’d wager they don’t have a Queen’s Jubilee themed cover for chocolate oranges. Or at least they won’t have a matching set. Sort it out for them.*
*chocolate orange not included.
Corgi Celebrating Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee 2022 Leggings
Jubilee leggings are a fiercely competitive market (yes, really), though for our money nothing is more jauntily celebratory than these regal Corgis.
Suspect they’re what ERII wears when she’s taking a little me time.
Platinum Jubilee Portable Wood-Fired Oven
We’re a little surprised that premium pizza oven brand Deli Vita chose to align themselves with the royals, whose associations of late with the Italian delicacy haven’t been the most salubrious.
That said, Deli Vita create some of the best performing wood-fire pizza ovens on the market - this stunning portable number looks great, is easy to use, and cooks pizzas to perfection in a little over a minute. Better than heading to Pizza Express.
Elizabeth II 2 Platinum Jubilee Leggings
We told you the world of Platinum Jubilee leggings was a crowded one and, frankly, these are the most terrifying pair.
Want to wrap your thighs in the image of the Queen in a succession of multi-coloured outfits? May we politely ask... why?
The Queen’s Royal Corgi Mini Skirt
Marvel have recently released a film in which they chart a man’s descent into what they call the “multiverse of madness”.
I suspect the true multiverse of madness can be reached by staring at the crotch of this mini-skirt.
Queen & Corgi Air Freshener
Nothing says, “mmmm, fresh air” like the prospect of a nonagenarian and a dog, right?
Platinum Jubilee Sloper Seat
“That’s not weird,” you cry.
Ok, a purple bench you can nab for a mere £750 emblazoned with the legend ‘XXXX celebrates the platinum jubilee 2022’ may not be weird, but let us hope it is the nadir of late-stage capitalism.
Queen Drawstring Bag
“Elizabeth II/ The Queen/ The Myth/ The Legend” proclaims this duffel bag, conveniently ignoring the fact that two of those epithets are completely inaccurate.
Union Jack MorphSuit
There’s a metaphor in the notion of wearing a Union Jack morphsuit to celebrate the Jubilee- a constrictive lycra suit that would render you voiceless and with a Ken-doll crotch - but we don’t care to parse it.
Not for those of the weak of bladder.
Rule Britannia Light-Up Keychain
Can the light-up eyes of this keychain annihilate enemies of the monarchy and eradicate republican thoughts from your mind? We suspect so.
Six Pack Masks of Royal Couples Includes Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Prince Philip, The Queen, Prince William and Kate The Duchess of Cambridge
Go on, collect the set.

In a brief hearing at Erie County Courthouse on Thursday morning, prosecutors received more time to put together their case against Payton Gendron, who's accused of killing 10 people in a racist attack on a Buffalo, N.Y., grocery store.
Judge Craig Hannah agreed to move Gendron's felony hearing, which will determine if there's enough evidence to proceed to trial, to June 9. The 18-year-old white man is accused of targeting a store in a Black community after developing white supremacist views. He'll continue to be held without bail.
It was the second court appearance for Gendron, who entered the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit. On Saturday he pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges.
While many might think it appears to be an open-and-shut case, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said before the hearing that he would proceed by the book.
"Emotions are high. I understand the rawness of this matter. However, I do not operate in a court of public opinion," Flynn said. "I operate in a court of law, and this defendant is innocent until proven guilty."
Flynn added that more charges might be filed after a grand jury convened and investigated the shooting. There's a 45-day window for that to occur and the clock starts ticking today.
Officials have said they are investigating the mass shooting as a racially motivated hate crime and are also considering a terrorism charge.
In the midst of all this, the community continues to mourn. They've been holding vigils and another large prayer vigil is scheduled for this evening. On Friday, a funeral will be held for 67-year-old Heyward Patterson, one of the 10 people killed in the attack.

When My Spirit Abandoned My Soul
Anitra Marie Simmons, a mindful author from Seattle, WA, announces her debut book "When Breath Is Stronger than Tears."
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, May 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The writing unfolds the survivor's (author) memoir of trauma, grief, healing, and faith. For example, Anitra writes that it took her forty years to find the true love of her life. Yet, she never gave up hope through rape, domestic abuse, a failed marriage, and deep loneliness. Anitra was proud of her development as a strong woman, seeing how the author made better judgments after recognizing her faults. But she couldn't reconcile the meaning of that when her husband and daughter died of cancer.Anitra shares how suicidal thoughts attacked her while going about everyday life. On the outside, she looked normal, but she felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind. It was heart-wrenching to accept that she would never see her husband and daughter again. Yet, after years of grief and sadness, she learns the value in the lessons of her experiences. She was able to see the sacrifice in losing her daughter and husband and how their lives gave hers more meaning.
She realized her suicidal thoughts would dishonor her loved ones who had passed and decided to find a life's purpose in helping others rather than destroying hers. She becomes connected to God in a new spiritual way and finds inner peace through learning love never dies, and we are all connected beyond this physical life.

DETROIT – Kody Clemens, son of Major League Baseball great Roger Clemens, is getting the call-up to join the Detroit Tigers in the big leagues.
This is the first trip to MLB for the second baseman. Clemens played his high school ball at Houston’s Memorial High School before playing collegiately at the University of Texas, where he was named Big 12 Conference Player of the Year in 2018 after hitting .351 with 24 home runs and 72 RBI in 65 games. Following that season, Clemens was drafted by the Tigers with the team’s first pick in the third round.
Clemens has been climbing the baseball ladder ever since. In his first season at Triple-A, he is hitting .283 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in 45 games for Toledo. And actually, according to Tigers’ beat reporter Jason Beck, Clemens was on his way Monday to the Mud Hens’ road game in Columbus before getting the call, getting his gear pulled off the team bus, and changing directions from south to north to join Detroit for Monday’s afternoon home game against the Minnesota Twins.
Clemens takes the spot on the Tigers’ roster opened up when Detroit placed former Houston Astro Robbie Grossman on its 10-day injured list with neck spasms.
Of course, Clemens’ father Roger is known in MLB circles as one of the sport’s greatest pitchers ever, with seven Cy Young Awards (including one with the Astros in 2004), a Most Valuable Player award, and 354 wins, good for ninth on the all-time list.
It’s clear Roger Clemens is proud of today’s big day for his son Kody, who is the first of his sons to reach the major leagues. In an Instagram post on Monday morning, the proud papa wrote, “Showtime! Couldn’t be more proud of you, son. You have earned it every step of the way. Congratulations Kod, you’re a Big Leaguer!”
And, when speaking about this big moment to KPRC 2 Sports Director Randy McIlvoy, Clemens said, “We’re estatic about it because he’s worked his tail off to get here. Me and (my wife) Debbie are heading there shortly. He may get an at-bat tonight & they play a doubleheader tomorrow. We are so happy for him!”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that state prisoners have no constitutional right to present new evidence in federal court to support their claims that they were represented at trial and on appeal in state courts by unqualified or otherwise deficient lawyers. The vote was 6-to-3, along ideological lines.
In 2012 the court ruled that when a state court "substantially" interferes with a defendant's constitutional right to be represented by counsel, the defendant, with a new lawyer, may appeal to federal court to show that he was denied his right to effective counsel. Back then, the majority was 7-to-2, with Justice Clarence Thomas in dissent. On Monday Thomas wrote the majority decision hollowing out that 2012 ruling on behalf of the court's new six-justice conservative super majority.
He said that federal courts may not hear "new evidence" obtained after conviction to show how deficient the trial or appellate lawyer in state court was. To allow such evidence to be presented in federal court, he said, "encourages prisoners to sandbag state courts," depriving the states of "the finality that is essential to both the retributive and deterrent function of criminal law."
What the opinion does
Writing for the three dissenters, Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the decision "perverse," and "illogical." The Sixth Amendment "guarantees criminal defendants the right to effective assistance of counsel at trial," she said. "Today, however, the court hamstrings the federal courts' authority to safeguard that right."
University of Michigan law professor Leah Litman sums up the decision this way: "Basically you can have a federal court hear the claim, you just can't present any evidence to support that claim because Congress... greatly restricted the availability of evidentiary hearings."
"The opinion leaves innocent people in the nightmarish position of having no court to go to for justice," said Christina Swarns, executive director of the Innocence Project.
The death penalty cases in question
She pointed to one of the cases before the court as illustrative. The defendant, Barry Jones, was sentenced to death for the brutal sexual assault and killing of a 4-year-old girl. But his court-appointed trial court lawyer did not investigate the facts of the case. Arizona law does not allow the first post-conviction appeal to raise the question of ineffective assistance of counsel, and on the second appeal, the appellate lawyer did not raise the question either. Only when federal public defenders were brought into the case for a federal court hearing, did they examine the medical evidence, and consult experts who later testified that the injuries inflicted on the child occurred not when the prosecution claimed, but at a time when Jones was nowhere near the child and could not have inflicted them. The federal judge hearing the case found that both the defense lawyer at trial, and the appellate lawyer in state court had provided ineffective assistance of counsel. A unanimous panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals agreed, meaning that if the decision had held, the state would have had to retry Jones or release him.
A second case before the court today did not involve a claim of innocence. David Ramirez didn't dispute that he killed his girlfriend and her 15-year-old daughter. But when his case got to federal court, his federal public defenders presented evidence of his intellectual disability and his horrific childhood, mitigating evidence that the lawyer appointed to represent Ramirez at trial did not present to the jury in an effort to prevent a sentence of death.
As the Innocence Project's Swarns sees things, Arizona has not raised the pay scale for court appointed lawyers in some 30 years. The lawyers have inadequate resources to investigate and hire experts, and the courts often waive the lawyer qualification requirements in order to get lawyers in the door to represent those who cannot afford a lawyer on appeal.
"We know at the Innocence Project, based on 30 years of representing innocent people who have been wrongly convicted, that ineffective assistance of counsel is one of the leading causes of wrongful conviction in this country," she said.
For defendant, Jones, who contends he is innocent, and for Ramirez, their only recourse now to avoid execution is an appeal to the governor of Arizona for clemency. They have run the course of their appeals and come up short. So too will many others.

Father drowns while tubing with his daughter over Memorial Day weekend
MANITOU BEACH, Mich. (WILX/Gray News) – An Ohio family is in mourning after a holiday vacation to Michigan ended in tragedy.
According to the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), a 39-year-old father drowned while he was tubing with his daughter on Devil’s Lake.
Deputies said two families from Sylvania, Ohio, rented a cottage on the lake for Memorial Day weekend. The families were out tubing on Sunday when deputies were called in the afternoon for reports of a possible drowning.
Officials said the 39-year-old man was tubing with his daughter when they fell off the tube. The father, who was not wearing a life vest, never came back to the surface, deputies said.
The child was wearing a life vest and is “fine,” according to deputies.
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.
Officials were not able to locate the victim, so multiple dive teams and sonar units were brought in. Despite their combined efforts, the victim has not yet been located.
The Sheriff’s Office Victim Services unit has been on the scene with the family.

Works to begin for a 20-seater aircraft to land or to build a heli-port
Kushalnagar: Days after Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai mentioned at the World Economic Forum Summit in Davos that a mini-airport or a heliport will be constructed on a 49.5-acre Agricultural Department land adjacent to Sainik School, Kushalnagar (Koodige), a high-level team of officials and technical experts visited the land this morning.
The team was led by Managing Director of Karnataka State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation (KSIIDC) Limited Dr. M.R. Ravi, Project Technical Advisor Brig. D.M. Purvimath (VSM), who is also the Chief Engineer of
Border Roads Organisation (BRO), KSIIDC Executive Director D.P. Prakash and other officers. MLA M.P. Appachu Ranjan was also present.
The land is located at Chikkathoor village and there are plans to either construct a mini airport where 20-seater aircraft can land or to construct a heli-port from where it can connect planned heli-ports in Mysuru, Hampi and Chikkamagalur.
Both the projects will give a new dimension to the Kodagu tourism. “Kodagu District features among the top 10 tourist destinations in India and if the air connectivity is ensured, there is scope for accommodating 20,000 to 50,000 tourists every weekend and this will include foreign tourists who come for circuit tours,” Dr. Ravi told reporters.
The KSIIDC is the nodal agency for the development of airstrips across Karnataka. The 950-metre or 1.5 km strip would have basic minimum facilities like the airstrip, terminal with security post, fencing and security by local Police, Dr. Ravi added and said that Rs. 100 crore to Rs. 120 crore would be needed to develop the land into a full-fledged airstrip or a heli-port.
Silt from Harangi Dam
Inspecting the land, Project Technical Advisor Brig. Purvimath said that the area is undulated and needs levelling. MLA Ranjan told the team that whatever silt that will be removed from the Harangi Dam in the coming months will be dumped in the airstrip. The entire area will be levelled with silt mud and this will solve the problem of lack of land to dump the silt from the Dam, he added.
Interacting with the district officials, Dr. Ravi said that for the work on the airstrip to begin, the land has to be transferred to the KSIIDC. The land is at present under the possession of the Agriculture Department and it must be transferred to the Revenue Department headed by the Kodagu Deputy Commissioner, who will initiate the transfer to the KSIIDC, he explained.
Land transfer
Work will begin soon after the land transfer, he added, directing the officials to complete the process. “A 50-acre flat land is not available anywhere in Kodagu that is a hilly terrain. This land is ideal for the airstrip and the heli-port and we will get it for sure. The budgetary needs will be fulfilled by the CM who has already assured help,” MLA Appachu Ranjan said.
“Dr. Ravi had served as the Kodagu Assistant Commissioner and it was his initiative to build the Kodagu District Offices Complex in Madikeri and now an airstrip is being constructed,” Ranjan added.
When reporters asked about the possible objection from environment activists to the airstrip, the MLA said that no one should have any objection as the airstrip will be built on Government land. “We have been trying for air connectivity to Kodagu since decades and only now things are taking shape. We will bring the airstrip at any cost,” he reiterated. | https://starofmysore.com/mini-airport-at-kushalnagar-team-inspects-land-in-kodagu/ | 2022-05-30T17:41:28Z | https://starofmysore.com/mini-airport-at-kushalnagar-team-inspects-land-in-kodagu/ | false | 1 |
Humberside Police has agreed a settlement with the family of a woman who died of hypothermia in a Hull cemetery after PCSOs searched for her for less than 10 minutes.
The officers tasked with searching for Jacqueline Parsons didn’t even step foot outside of their car to look for her at Western Cemetery in October 2018. Miss Parsons’ siblings and her partner pursued a civil claim against Humberside Police through Hudgell Solicitors, alleging that failures had amounted to a breach of the force’s duty of care to protect the right to life.
Miss Parsons’ brother, Stephen, 64, said he’d been left angry at the "basic failings" and had taken legal action to ensure lessons were learned. The pay out agreed has not been disclosed.

“Still to this day I can’t come to terms with the fact that Jacqueline would still be here if the police had just done their jobs and done a proper search of the area,” he said.
“If they’d just got out of their car and walked around it is likely she’d have been found. I remember it was a cold and wet day and I have always wondered how much that influenced what happened.”
The force was called to provide assistance to Jacqueline, 56, by a passer-by in October 2018 after he’d found her injured in the cemetery, having fallen from her bike.
The man returned home to call the police as he didn’t have a mobile with him and was worried she’d be locked in the cemetery all night. Following his call, at approximately 4.45pm, the matter was marked as "urgent" on the police log.
This comes with an expectation that a patrol will arrive within 30 minutes, but it was not until around 6.20pm that two PCSOs were asked by a dispatcher to attend and assist a woman described as "under the influence". The dispatcher said that only a "quick area search" was required given the time which had passed since the initial call without any further reports.
An inquest into Miss Parsons’ death in October 2020 heard that PCSOs arrived at the cemetery at around 6.25pm and that their search consisted of them driving slowly with their car windows down to scan the land adjacent to the main cemetery road which looped around.
Neither were trained in search techniques and their torches were only standard police-issued torches and not powerful in comparison to dedicated lighting systems marked police vehicles are equipped with. At no point did either PCSO leave the police vehicle to search the grounds and the log was closed at 6.36pm.
The following morning Jacqueline was found dead in the cemetery by a member of the public at around 9.15am – almost 17 hours after the initial report to the police had been made. A pathologist testified that if she had been found in time after the alarm was sounded, her temperature could have been raised and she could have been saved.
“To think of her left there alone is heartbreaking,” Stephen said. “I think from the moment the call was logged, and she was described as being intoxicated, there was a dismissive approach from all involved. The alcohol levels suggest she wasn’t excessively drunk as she was only just over the legal drink-drive limit.
“The references to her being intoxicated annoyed those close to us. She would not have been drunk. She was someone who was always well dressed and had an immaculate home.
“To not get out of the car and to leave after around 10 minutes, having simply driven round and shone a couple of torches, was appalling. I had to take legal action as when things like this happen, changes need to be made to ensure it never happens again. Hopefully people who have gone missing since have been afforded a bit more commitment.”
Adam Biglin, of the Civil Liberties department at Hudgell Solicitors, led the legal cases and claims the attempts to look for Jacqueline were “insulting”.
He said: “This was a wholly inadequate search in terms of both approach and attitude. I think if anyone was to have a loved one go missing at any stage they’d believe a search of this nature to be insulting.
“The police failed to do their job of investigating and instead made a number of assumptions. These assumptions, and failings to follow proper procedures, proved fatal.
“The method of searching was not to the proper standard. At no point did the officers leave their police vehicle and they used torches that were not powerful enough to carry out a proper search. Nor did they make any attempt to check that Jacqueline had retuned home safe, given that they had been provided with her name and address by the man who called to report that she needed help.
“It has been heartbreaking for her loved ones to know that she was left to die alone when she could so easily have been found and saved. We are pleased that Humberside Police agreed to settle the civil action pursued on behalf of those who have lost Jacqueline from their lives.”
The inquest heard that the freezing temperatures overnight on Saturday, October 28, 2018, combined with alcohol in her system - which at 93mg per 100ml of blood was only just over the legal drink driving limit of 80mg per 100ml - and the injury to her ankle, were deemed as the cause of death.
Stephen added: “We all miss Jacqueline terribly. She was someone who loved her holidays and usually went abroad three times a year. She was great fun on a night out and loved a good dance, and then when Monday came she got her business head back on for the week ahead.
“Her partner Malcolm said she’d been in a bit of a health and fitness kick at the time when she was out on her bike. It’s so hard to think of how she was let down and is still difficult to accept more than three years on.”
During the inquest Humberside Police said that the PCSOs who attended "did their very best" during the search and that new policies have now been implemented.
After agreeing the settlement Deputy Chief Constable Paul Anderson said: “Jacqueline Parson’s death was a terribly tragic incident and our thoughts and condolences remain with her family and loved ones.
“We have agreed a settlement with the family following a claim that was received on conclusion of the inquest in 2020, as we fully acknowledged the decision reached by the Coroner.
“Following Jacqueline’s death in October 2018 we immediately and voluntarily referred the incident to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) due to our involvement. They asked us to carry out a full and thorough review and identify any learning, which was completed and guidance provided to those involved at the time.
“On conclusion of the inquest we further looked at lessons to be learned and have already implemented additional training for officers and staff to prevent any unnecessary distress or worry and to assist should there ever be this type of incident across our force area again.”
Jacqueline spent 24 years working as a purchase ledger clerk at Van Leer before it became Greif. However, when the company left Hull Miss Parsons was made redundant and she went on to work in other roles.
She and partner Malcolm never had any children but Jacqueline, who was born in Richmond, Surrey, before moving to Hull with her family aged nine, adored her two chihuahuas who she referred to as “her babies".
Malcolm Cuthbert previously paid tribute saying: “She was just a happy person who had a good smile and life was going well for her. You get highs and lows in life and at this period she was in a good place.
“She lived for her dogs – Tiny Tim and Maximus – and I’m doing my best now to look after them. The last thing she said to me was to make sure I looked after her babies while she was on holiday because she was supposed to be in Morocco now with her sister and niece. She was a bit of a spiritual type of person and complete strangers would just sit and have conversations with her and she would always listen."

Video: When F1 conquered the Indy 500
The Indianapolis 500 is one of motorsport’s greatest events.
America’s biggest race has largely been won by homegrown talents, or at least competitors from the regular IndyCar series, but Formula 1 does have its place in Indy 500 history.
In particular, an F1 invasion in the 1960s changed American single-seater racing forever.
In this episode of “Short View Back to the Past”, Kevin Turner remembers the time F1 conquered the Indy 500.

EPL: Boehly officially replaces Abramovich as Chelsea owner
The Todd Boehly-led consortium on Monday completed a £4.25bn takeover of Chelsea.
It brings to an end Roman Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club.
The new owners in a statement, said they are “committed to investing in key areas that will extend and enhance Chelsea’s competitiveness, including the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, further investment in the academy, the women’s team and Kingsmeadow stadium,” adding they will “continue the important work of the Chelsea Foundation”.
After months of negotiations, the deal was finally approved last week, when the government received legal guarantees that Abramovich would not benefit from the sale.
The proceeds from this sale will be frozen in a UK bank account until the government receives more assurances that the funds will solely go to support humanitarian causes in Ukraine.
Boehly set out his consortium’s vision in a statement on Chelsea’s website, added: “I personally want to thank ministers and officials in the British government, and the Premier League, for all their work in making this happen.” | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/30/epl-boehly-officially-replaces-abramovich-as-chelsea-owner/ | 2022-05-30T17:51:29Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/05/30/epl-boehly-officially-replaces-abramovich-as-chelsea-owner/ | false | 1 |

Bailey, Rabine, Sullivan face off in Illinois Republican Primary Governor Debate
Illinois is at a crossroad ahead of the primary election on June 28. Inflation, a surge in crime, the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible end of Roe v. Wade are just some of the issues facing residents across the state.
Tuesday, three Illinois Republicans hoping to unseat Governor JB Pritzker faced off in a debate on WGN.
State senator Darren Bailey, businessman Gary Rabine and venture capitalist Jesse Sullivan met for one hour starting at 7 p.m.
All of the candidates mentioned the Texas school shooting, which killed at least 18 children, in their opening statements. The debate opened up with the three candidates attacking the leading polling candidate, Richard Irvin, after the Chicago FOP endorsed him.
After that, a significant amount of time was spent discussing crime and the state’s criminal justice system. At one point, State Sen. Darren Bailey called Chicago a “hell hole.”
Following around 20 minutes of discussing public safety, the candidates answered a series of questions regarding Illinois’ economy. All of the candidates discussed the $130 billion pension crisis in the state.
None of the candidates suggested taking away money from pensioners that was promised. Sullivan and Rabine mentioned a 401K type of program for future pensioners.
With the hot topic across the country of Roe. V. Ward potentially being overturned this summer by the Supreme Court, all of the candidates, who are pro-life, discussed limiting taxpayer programs for abortion.
When asked specifically what exceptions they support for abortion, Jesse Sullivan said rape, incest and the life of the mother, Darren Bailey said the life of the mother and so did Gary Rabine.
Illinois primary Election Day is June 28. Early voting is already underway.
The winner of the Republican gubernatorial primary will face JB Pritzker in November.

Horsesense looking for volunteers to help with therapy riding sessions
COON VALLEY, Wis. (WKBT) – A local non-profit that specializes in animal-assisted therapy is looking for volunteers. HorseSense is currently facing a shortage of people to assist with horseback riding lessons.
The non-profit offers equine therapy to veterans, people with disabilities, and those battling mental health issues.
The executive director of HorseSense, Samantha Hall, says working with horses can help reduce stress.
“Working with horses, you have to be very present and in the moment. So, in a way, this place is kind of an escape, a release for people,” says Hall. “So [people are] leaving their stressors aside and they’re focusing right on the animal.”

BANGKOK (AP) — The number of methamphetamine tablets seized in East and Southeast Asia exceeded a billion last year for the first time, highlighting the scale of illegal drug production and trafficking in the region and the challenges of fighting it, the U.N. said Monday.
The 1.008 billion tablets — which would weigh about 91 tons altogether — were part of a regionwide haul of almost 172 tons of methamphetamine in all forms, and was seven times higher than the amount seized 10 years earlier, the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime said in a report.
“I think the region is literally swimming in methamphetamine,” said Jeremy Douglas, Southeast Asia regional representative for the U.N. agency, at a news conference in the Thai capital Bangkok unveiling the report on “Synthetic Drugs in East and Southeast Asia.”
“So there’s going to have to be a radical policy shift by East Asia to address this problem or it’s just going to continue to grow,” Douglas said.
The drugs are largely consumed in Southeast Asia but also exported to New Zealand and Australia, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan in East Asia, and increasingly to South Asia.
“Production and trafficking of methamphetamine jumped yet again as supply became super concentrated in the Mekong (River region) and in particular Thailand, Laos and Myanmar,” Douglas told The Associated Press in an email.
The increased production makes the drug cheaper and more accessible, creating greater risk to people and their communities, the report said. According to Douglas, when he first worked in the region in 2002-2007, a meth tablet cost five to six times what it costs now.
Methamphetamine is easy to make and has supplanted opium and its derivative heroin to become the dominant illegal drug in Southeast Asia for both use and export.
The Golden Triangle area, where the borders of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand meet, was historically a major production area for opium and hosted many of the labs that converted it to heroin. Decades of political instability have made Myanmar’s frontier regions largely lawless, to be exploited by drug producers and traffickers.
Douglas said at Monday’s news conference that there is a fundamental need to refocus law enforcement efforts against the drug trade.
“There’s lots and lots of seizures being made and no impact being made on the business itself. Organized crime just keep cranking out the volume, replacing seizures with more product,” Douglas said.
“The chemical situation is highly complex and there’s no essential chemicals being seized and they just continue to flow unabated, primarily through Laos into (Myanmar’s) Shan State,” Douglas added. “We also have huge money laundering operations at play in the region. We have no attempt fundamentally at the end of the day to address demand which is seemingly growing and can continue to grow because of the price point of the drug is so cheap.”
Given the problem of limited governance and low attention to the issue, the UN. agency said organized crime syndicates have the means to continue to produce more meth and to sell it to a growing population of young people with increased spending power.
The political landscape has also served to ramp up production.
In Myanmar, the military seized power from an elected government last year and is now engaged in an armed struggle against foes of military rule.
Drug production in Myanmar is often associated with armed ethnic minority groups that sometimes battle the government and each other.
“Every group denies involvement in drug production and trafficking and point at other groups as responsible, but the drug economy is arguably the largest part of the economy in most or many parts of Shan and border areas of Myanmar and there is plenty of intel connecting groups to labs and shipments,” Douglas said.
The report also called Laos one of the countries most impacted by methamphetamine trafficked out of Myanmar. One of Asia’s biggest-ever drug busts was made in Laos last October, with police there seizing more than 55.6 million methamphetamine pills in a single raid. They also seized about 1,500 kilograms (3,300 pounds) of crystal methamphetamine, state media reported.
The U.N. agency said it was concerned that criminal enterprises were targeting Cambodia as a drug production site. One covert laboratory dismantled there last year was an industrial-scale facility set up to produce ketamine and potentially other drugs, the report said.
Ketamine is used legitimately as an anesthetic, but its non-medical use and clandestine manufacture was concerning to the U.N. agency.
Many nations tried to halt meth production by choking supplies of precursors, usually ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, best known for being used in decongestant medicines. But the U.N. agency said some methamphetamine producers have clearly learned to make these precursors from non-controlled substances that can be freely and legally traded. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/1b-meth-pills-east-se-asia-drug-industry-hits-ominous-peak/ | 2022-05-30T18:10:57Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/1b-meth-pills-east-se-asia-drug-industry-hits-ominous-peak/ | false | 46 |
The World Health Organization’s top monkeypox expert said she doesn’t expect the hundreds of cases reported to date to turn into another pandemic, but acknowledged there are still many unknowns about the disease, including how exactly it’s spreading and whether the suspension of mass smallpox immunization decades ago may somehow be speeding its transmission.
In a public session on Monday, WHO’s Dr. Rosamund Lewis said it was critical to emphasize that the vast majority of cases being seen in dozens of countries globally are in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men, so that scientists can further study the issue and for those at risk to be careful.
“It’s very important to describe this because it appears to be an increase in a mode of transmission that may have been under-recognized in the past,” said Lewis, WHO’s technical lead on monkeypox.
“At the moment, we are not concerned about a global pandemic,” she said. “We are concerned that individuals may acquire this infection through high-risk exposure if they don’t have the information they need to protect themselves.”
She warned that anyone is at potential risk of the disease, regardless of their sexual orientation. Other experts have pointed out that it may be accidental that the disease was first picked up in gay and bisexual men, saying it could quickly spill over into other groups if it is not curbed. To date, WHO said 23 countries that haven’t previously had monkeypox have now reported more than 250 cases.
Lewis said it’s unknown whether monkeypox is being transmitted by sex or just the close contact between people engaging in sexual activity and described the threat to the general population as “low.” Monkeypox is known to spread when there is close physical contact with an infected person or their clothing or bedsheets.
She also warned that among the current cases, there is a higher proportion of people with fewer lesions that are more concentrated in the genital region and sometimes nearly impossible to see.
“You may have these lesions for two to four weeks (and) they may not be visible to others, but you may still be infectious,” she said.
Last week, a top adviser to WHO said the outbreak in Europe, U.S., Israel, Australia and beyond was likely linked to sex at two recent raves in Spain and Belgium. That marks a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and epidemics haven’t crossed borders.
Scientists haven’t yet determined whether the monkeypox outbreak in rich countries can be traced to Africa, but the disease continues to sicken people on the continent. On Monday, Nigerian authorities confirmed its first monkeypox death this year, in addition to six more cases. WHO says there are typically thousands of cases reported from Nigeria and Congo every year.
Most monkeypox patients experience only fever, body aches, chills and fatigue. People with more serious illness may develop a rash and lesions on the face and hands that can spread to other parts of the body. No deaths have been reported in the current outbreak beyond Africa.
WHO’s Lewis also said that while previous cases of monkeypox in central and western Africa have been relatively contained, it was not clear if people could spread monkeypox without symptoms or if the disease might be airborne, like measles or COVID-19.
Monkeypox is related to smallpox, but has milder symptoms. After smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, countries suspended their mass immunization programs, a move that some experts believe may be helping monkeypox spread, since there is now little widespread immunity to related diseases; smallpox vaccines are also protective against monkeypox.
Lewis said it would be “unfortunate” if monkeypox were able to “exploit the immunity gap” left by smallpox 40 years ago, saying that there was still a window of opportunity to close down the outbreak so that monkeypox would not become entrenched in new regions.

Woman killed in expressway shooting called 911 saying she was being chased, family says
By Cate Cauguiran

CHICAGO (WLS) — Midlothian family honored a 27-year-old mother who was shot and later died after a shooting on the Dan Ryan Expressway last week.
The family held a cluster of balloons tightly together as the victim’s mother tried to hold it together during a memorial Sunday.
Once the balloons were released, pops of pink weightlessly colored the skies as gravity brought down many tears and heavy hearts for the family of 27-year-old Darren Jackson.
“It’s is unbelievable. It is indescribable, it’s unbearable,” said Jackson’s mother Shauncey Payton. “There’s nothing normal about this. This is tragic. This is something that no mother should have to experience and I wouldn’t wish this on any other mother or any other person.”
Jackson family said the 27-year-old mother and esthetician passed away Saturday after a days-long fight for her life after being shot on the Dan Ryan Expressway last week.
Payton said her daughter was a true woman of beauty inside and out, as well as a doting mother to her 4-year-old son.
“She was such a brave woman. She really was. She was there but each and every one of us,” Payton said. “We are still in disbelief that we’re not going to be able to experience her spirit any longer here in this lifetime.”
The night of the shooting, Jackson’s family said she was driving home after picking up groceries in Oak Forest.
However, she never made it back alive.
Jackson was found shot in her car on the Dan Ryan Expressway, near 47th Street, last Saturday just after 8:30 p.m., Illinois State Police investigators said.
Jackson’s family said before the 27-year-old mother was shot, she called for help, claiming she was being followed.
“She called 911. She needed help and she knew she needed help. And she knew that she was being chased,” Payton said.
Jackson’s family said investigators told them they got her call, but by the time they were able to get to her, it was too late.
ISP said early in the investigation that the shots appeared to come from someone inside another vehicle in the area.
A week later, this family is broken and begging for answers.
“If they have these high definition cameras on the Dan Ryan Expressway and they they’re newly installed, how come they have not been able to actually see who did this,” Payton said.
After reaching out, Illinois State Police said the case is still under investigation. Both ISP and Jackson’s family are pleading with the public for any information that could help solve this case, and bring closure and justice to the family.
Police asked anyone who witnessed the shooting or has any knowledge of the incident to contact 847-294-4400 or email at ISP.CrimeTips@Illinois.gov. Witnesses can remain anonymous.
There have been at least 88 expressway shootings in the Chicago area so far this year.

Pakistan’s direct peace talks with an outlawed alliance of insurgent groups, being mediated and hosted by Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers, have reportedly made progress, with both sides agreeing to pause the process for internal deliberations and return to the negotiating table by mid-June.
The several days of discussions between Pakistani security officials and commanders of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or the Pakistani Taliban, concluded over the weekend in the Afghan capital, Kabul, with both sides pressing their set of demands and promising to adhere to an ongoing temporary cease-fire to preserve the progress, officials and militant sources said Monday.
The meeting marked the second round of talks between the two rivals since early this month when they first came to the negotiating table at the request of the Afghan Taliban, a Pakistani official told VOA on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk with the news media.
The peace process has led to the temporary cease-fire, release of dozens of militants from Pakistani jails and a significant reduction in TTP attacks in Pakistan.
The nearly month-long truce was due to expire Monday but would likely be extended to help prevent derailment of the fragile process, the Pakistani official said. He noted that even if there were no formal militant announcement about an extension in the cease-fire, there would be no “major” counter-militancy operations” by Pakistani security forces, nor would the TTP carry out attacks against them.
“The situation [around the talks] has been very hopeful so far,” the Pakistani official said. “Both sides have decided to pause the process to review the progress they have achieved and seek clarity from their respective leaderships on how to move forward,” he said.
The Pakistani official hailed the host Taliban government for making “utmost efforts” to ensure relevant TTP commanders were present at the table to productively carry the dialogue forward. He noted that acting Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani “is playing the key role” in mediating the talks.
The official said Haqqani was “personally available in some sessions” of the just concluded talks and “effectively intervened to remove deadlocks or impediments” to help push the process.
While Pakistani officials have not yet formally commented on the peace process, the Afghan Taliban publicly confirmed on May 18 at the end of the two-day inaugural meeting that Kabul hosted it and acted as intermediary. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said at the time his government “in good faith to promote peace, strives for the negotiating process to succeed and expects both sides to be tolerant and flexible.”
Islamabad is asking TTP negotiators to terminate their insurgency against Pakistan and dissolve the group in favor of a peaceful resettlement to their native country, according to sources close to the process.
For their part, TTP negotiators have been consistently insisting that Pakistan restore the traditional semi-autonomous status of several of its northwestern districts bordering Afghanistan, formerly known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, or FATA.
The militants also demand both the removal of Pakistani troops from the rugged mountainous region and implementation of their brand of Islamic justice system in erstwhile FATA, citing their rejection of the Pakistani constitution as un-Islamic.
Speaking to VOA, senior Pakistani security officials Monday again rejected these demands as unacceptable.
For decades, FATA had served as a haven for local and foreign militant outfits, including al-Qaida and the Afghan Taliban. Pakistani troops in recent years carried out major ground and air offensives, dismantling the terror infrastructure and forcing thousands of TTP militants to flee to the Afghan side of the border.
The Afghan Taliban and their al-Qaida partners used the Pakistani tribal region for regrouping and directing cross-border attacks against U.S.-led international troops in Afghanistan. TTP had sheltered, facilitated and provided them with recruits.
TTP-led suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks have killed tens of thousands of Pakistanis, including security forces, since its inception in 2007. Sustained Pakistani security operations significantly degraded TTP abilities to conduct extremist actions.
The group has intensified attacks on Pakistani forces from Afghan bases since the return of the Taliban to power in the neighboring country, killing scores of Pakistani security forces and prompting Islamabad to reportedly conduct cross-border airstrikes against TTP hideouts.
A new United Nations report earlier in May also noted the role Haqqani is playing in facilitating Pakistan’s talks with the TTP, although it cautioned that prospects of success of the peace process were bleak.
“Haqqani mediations have not led to a sustainable cease-fire but are a further indication of Mr. Sirajuddin’s central role within the Taliban as a mediator and figure of authority among rank-and-file of TTP and other mainly Pashtun groups in eastern Afghanistan,” said the U.N. annual report of the 1988 Taliban sanctions committee monitoring team.
U.S. officials have long maintained that Haqqani runs his own group of militants independent of the Taliban, known as the Haqqani Network. His areas of influence or operation have been or are largely the eastern and southeastern Afghan border provinces, where TTP has set up its sanctuaries after fleeing Pakistani security operations.
Haqqani allegedly is also closely aligned with al-Qaida. Washington has offered $10 million for information that will lead to his arrest.
The Taliban took over Afghanistan last August, days before the U.S.-led foreign troops withdrew from the country after nearly 20 years of war with the-then insurgent group. The Islamist rulers have assured neighboring countries and the world at large that they would combat terrorism on Afghan soil to prevent it from becoming a haven for transnational groups.
The U.N. report, however, suggested that TTP has gained from the Taliban’s return to power in Kabul. It has around 4,000 fighters in Afghan areas bordering Pakistan, making up the largest group of foreign fighters based there. | https://www.voanews.com/a/pakistan-militants-pause-afghan-hosted-peace-talks-for-internal-discourse-amid-cautious-optimism-/6595633.html | 2022-05-30T18:20:13Z | https://www.voanews.com/a/pakistan-militants-pause-afghan-hosted-peace-talks-for-internal-discourse-amid-cautious-optimism-/6595633.html | false | 3 |

Most of us don't like to wait at traffic signals till the light turns green to move past them. Sometimes, we try to bypass the signals and end up getting caught in the process, followed by paying a hefty fine. At times, this can also result in accidents. It's true that waiting at the signal is very tiring and it costs us in terms of fuel wastage and time, while damaging the environment. Motorists and policy planners want a practical alternative to end this nuisance, albeit a minor one. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) think they've uncovered one.
The team tried to find ways to ensure that motorists don't have to wait at a traffic intersection for the signal to change its colour. Instead, what if they reach the signal precisely at a time when it is green. While this is difficult for human drivers to achieve, it can be done with consistency by an autonomous vehicle that uses artificial intelligence.
Using AI, the vehicle's speed can be adjusted in a way that it reaches the next signal just in time to pass through it without having to wait for the colour to change to green.
In their study, published on the pre-print server arXiv, the researchers demonstrate a machine learning approach that can learn to control a fleet of self-driven vehicles in a way that keeps traffic's flow smooth. Led by Vindula Jayawardana, a graduate student, the team of researchers say their approach reduces fuel consumption and emissions while improving average vehicle speed.
“This is a really interesting place to intervene. No one's life is better because they were stuck at an intersection,” senior author Cathy Wu was quoted as saying.
But there's one more complication. The researchers want the system to learn a technique that saves fuel while also minimising trip time. These objectives may be incompatible. Wu says though they want the automobile to move fast to save travel time, they want it to slow down or not move at all to reduce emissions. These competing scenarios might be extremely perplexing for the learning agent.
As a result, the researchers devised a workaround known as reward shaping. They provided the system domain with information it couldn't have learnt on its own by using reward shaping. They penalised the system in this scenario anytime the vehicle came to a complete stop, so it would learn to avoid doing so in the future.
They tested their control algorithm using a traffic simulation platform with a single intersection once they had constructed it. As automobiles neared the crossroads, their system did not cause any stop-and-go traffic. When cars are forced to come to a complete stop due to stalled traffic ahead, this is known as stop-and-go traffic.
More cars passed through a single green phase in simulations, outperforming a model that simulates human drivers. When compared to previous optimisation strategies aimed at avoiding stop-and-go traffic, their approach resulted in higher fuel savings and lower emissions.
If all vehicles on the road are autonomous and linked with their system, they can reduce fuel consumption by 18 percent and CO2 emission by 25 percent, while improving travel speed by 20 percent, they say. Even if only two percent of vehicles are autonomous, they can offer at least 50 percent of the total fuel and emission reduction benefits. | https://gadgets360.com/science/news/ai-traffic-signals-less-chaotic-motorists-future-mit-research-3021763 | 2022-05-30T18:27:02Z | https://gadgets360.com/science/news/ai-traffic-signals-less-chaotic-motorists-future-mit-research-3021763 | false | 1 |

The department in charge of New Zealand's prisons is scrambling to find out how often specialist riot squads have been deployed to control inmates.
It comes after a Newstalk ZB investigation found Corrections was effectively running blind, despite staff responding to "extremely volatile" events, like riots and brawls.
Acting National Commissioner Leigh Marsh has confirmed there was no central record of when advanced control and restraint (ACR) teams had been sent out.
"Corrections acknowledges that recording deployments was an area that needed further development."

Advertise with NZME.Marsh said work's underway to gather the information.
"A register of ACR deployments has been created; ACR commanders have been asked to recall and record previous activations and deployments over the last 12 months; and in future, centralised records will be kept of ACR deployments."
The major development follows ZB's revelations earlier this year that Corrections didn't keep a close eye on deployments, and instead instructed officers to note them in separate incident reports.
At the time, Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis said he couldn't "reliably and readily extract" details on how many times the teams have been used since October 2017, and if any requests for support were turned away.
A Corrections spokesperson maintained the department does keep track and, given enough time, would be able to gather the data.
But when ZB asked for the same details under the Official Information Act (OIA), the request was partially refused as it didn't exist.
"The information requested is not held by Corrections and we have no grounds to believe it is held by another agency."
"Requests for the support of the ACR teams are not approved or declined. A request is sent from a prison director or regional commissioner for additional support and the ACR team is deployed."

Advertise with NZME.Instead, Acting National Commissioner Leigh Marsh provided "initial information" about a handful of deployments, including during the Waikeria Prison riot in 2020/21.
"It is important to note that this data is still being validated by Corrections staff. It is not complete but is provided to the best of Corrections' ability at this time," he said.
Corrections also considered charging for another OIA request, in which ZB requested access to internal communications about the teams, before refusing it altogether.
An ACR team is made up of officers who have received additional specialist training, and can be called upon for significant events of prisoner disorder, either at the site they work at, or another site that requires assistance.
Force may only be used lawfully against prisoners when a staff member has reasonable grounds to believe it's necessary, such as for self-defence, to protect another person, or in the case of an escape. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/prison-riots-corrections-to-centrally-record-squad-deployments-after-newstalk-zb-investigation/DPODWPUAQHIWGLPHLITWST4UFY/?c_id=1&objectid=12527935 | 2022-05-30T18:43:01Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/prison-riots-corrections-to-centrally-record-squad-deployments-after-newstalk-zb-investigation/DPODWPUAQHIWGLPHLITWST4UFY/?c_id=1&objectid=12527935 | true | 3 |

Death toll from Brazil floods at least 91, with dozens lost
By DAVID BILLER
Associated Press
Authorities in northeastern Brazil’s Pernambuco state say that 91 deaths have been confirmed from weekend flooding, with more two dozen people still missing. Officials say that hundreds of state and federal rescue workers are searching for 26 people currently unaccounted for., according to the official statement. Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday flew over the affected area of Pernambuco’s capital, Recife, and neighboring areas. He noted the country has recently experienced similar disasters in the mountains above Rio de Janeiro, in southern Bahia state and in Minas Gerais state. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/05/30/death-toll-from-brazil-floods-at-least-91-with-dozens-lost/ | 2022-05-30T18:44:13Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/05/30/death-toll-from-brazil-floods-at-least-91-with-dozens-lost/ | false | null |

Have you ever thought of using a payment card backed by digital assets like cryptocurrency? Do you know that your digital assets can provide you with a line of credit? Yes, this is possible today as the most prominent firms like Mastercard and Nexo tied up to make it happen. They have recently launched the world's first crypto-backed payment card.
It will hold all the qualities of a traditional credit card, but at the same time, it will offer more. It raised its level of security and improved its features and rewards options for cardholders. It will explain why you should drop the idea of a traditional payment card and go for this crypto-backed payment card.
To know more about the reason for the collaboration of Mastercard and Nexo, we need to learn more about their plans. Let's get into the details and understand these firms more closely and how their new crypto-backed payment card will be helpful for us.
What Is Mastercard?
The fourth-largest payment network, Mastercard, refers to a global credit card network. The United States launched this payment card system in 1966 of 3rd November. Earlier it was established as an interbank bank card; again, from 1969 to 1979, the card held another name Master Charge. Later in 1979, the card was finally named MasterCard.
After 1969 when the card was Master Charge, it was held by the association of several regional bankcards, which BankAmericard heads. When Visa Inc ultimately issued it, it became a Visa credit card.
When considering the evolution of the logo of MasterCard, it is worth having a look. All the changes acquired by MasterCard in their logo primarily represent their partnership and collaboration. They changed around six times in their logo. They came up with their first logo in 1967, but they changed it within three years in 1970. Later, in 1985, they again changed their logo KJ associated with the Cirrus ATM network. Again in 2002, 2016, and 2019 MasterCard put efforts into bringing suitable changes to the look of its logo.
Processing and regulating prepaid, credit, and debit cards ease electronic payment systems between large businesses and consumers. Available in more than 210 territories and countries and more than 150 currencies, Mastercard offers payment products and solutions to customers and financial institutions.
Mastercard launched a web shopping mall on 16th April 2010. It is specially designed to meet the needs of cardholders. The idea is influenced by the partner company of master card, which is a personalized shipping firm.
It will be interesting to determine if we specifically consider how MasterCard makes money. As MasterCard offers technology support to financial institutions, its revenue roots are enormous. The financial institutions contribute the most significant chunk of the revenue of MasterCard. Although the customers apply for credit and debit cards of the MasterCard brand, financial institutions like banks issue these from MasterCard by paying an amount.
If we exclude the dip of last year due to the global pandemic, then MasterCard's credit card will touch $15.3 billion in 2021. In the mid of last year, the firm's market capitalization reached $351.03 billion. The feasibility provided by the MasterCard in their transaction service expands their trust among financial institutions, consumers, governments, merchants, and more.
The business model of MasterCard is mainly supported by the brand value it holds. Mastercard charges a fee for the transactions made at the domestic and international levels.
Let's understand this through a transaction. When a cardholder makes a transaction, it involves four parties—first, the cardholder itself, and second, the cardholder's bank. The third party will be the merchant, and the last one is the merchant's bank. Mastercard placed itself in the middle of the whole transaction process. Apart from the payment settlement, it has hands in authorization and clearance in a transaction.
The money involves all these four parties in a transaction, and MasterCard pays charges in each direction of the cash flows. There is a charge when the cash flows from the cardholder's bank to the cardholder. When the cardholder pays the amount to the merchant, there is another charge that involves the transactions. When the merchant sends the money to its bank, there is also a charge. Even during a successful transaction, there is a network fee, which we cannot avoid.
On the whole, MasterCard has four revenue-generating business models. It involves international and domestic assessment fees. There are also transaction fees and other sources.
What Is Nexo?
Nexo is among the most popular crypto platforms and lending institutions in the digital finance industry. In traditional banks, the approval and processing of a loan take significant time. However, with Nexo, the loan approval process is just a matter of a few seconds. Although it's not a decentralized app, it provides banking services in the crypto and blockchain space.
Moreover, your collateral would be your crypto funds while taking a loan. Established in 2018, it grew popular with its slogan, i.e., "Banking on Crypto''. It's a business model that lets users lend cryptocurrencies and gain some interest from them. Users can earn interest, deposit loans, and grab fiat currencies instantly based on credit scores. Backed up with blockchain technology, Nexo maintains transparency in its operations and allows smart contract processing on the Ethereum blockchain.
Taking an instant loan while possessing crypto assets has become super easy with Nexo. It lets you receive your loan money in three ways:
- Instant withdrawal in USDT and USDC.
- Direct transfer to a personal bank account within a maximum of 3 days.
The interest rate of loans in Nexo varies from 5.9 to 11.90%. Moreover, the loan amount ranges from $500-$2million. You also have a flexible installment calendar. You can repay your loan anytime. You can also submit regular monthly installments or be irregular.
Moreover, you pay the interest-only for the period you have used the loan. The time allotted to an individual to repay his loan is one year. If the defaulter cannot repay the loan within the specific duration, the loan duration gets automatically expanded to another year.
However, for the new US customers, Nexo doesn't allow any Earn Interest product since February 2022. The existing customers also cannot make any extra deposits. However, they will continue earning interests and can also withdraw these funds. Users earn interests in stablecoins and crypto. While stable coins offer interest at the rate of 12%, crypto offers appeal at 12%. You make interest payout daily because the interest gets compounded daily.
Nexo also doesn't have a lockup period for deposits. Users can withdraw fiat money at any hour and time. However, there are some limitations regarding the number of times a user can withdraw crypto. Depending on the loyalty tier, these numbers vary from 1 to 5. In the base tier, the user must have at least 1% of Nexo tokens in his entire portfolio, and he can make crypto withdrawals only once a month.
In the silver tier, the user must have at least 1-5% of Nexo tokens in his entire portfolio, and he can make two crypto withdrawals in a month. In the gold tier, the user must have at least 5-10% of Nexo tokens in his entire portfolio, and he can make three crypto withdrawals in a month. In the platinum tier, the user must have at least 10% of Nexo tokens in his entire portfolio, and he can make five crypto withdrawals in a month.
Moreover, Nexo yields 10% compound interest in a single year. Your income at Nexo gets credited to you in your preferred medium daily. Moreover, Nexo has no deposit or withdrawal fees. Nexo also has its own Nexo Token, which has three crucial benefits. About 30% of Nexo's profits are shared and distributed as dividends to the Nexo token holders. Moreover, Nexo also discounts and bonuses to individuals who stake Nexo tokens. One can also earn profits by the escalating prices of the Nexo token.
Who Launched The First Crypto-backed Payment Card?
In partnership with Mastercard, a well-known global payments company, the famous crypto lender Nexo launched the world's first crypto-backed payment card known as Nexo Card. The renowned internet browser Opera has also announced the launch of a Web3-fuelled crypto browser, especially for iOS devices. This news led to the rise in Bitcoin price by 0.55% within 24 hours.
Moreover, Ethereum's price rose by 0.45%. Binance coin price also heightened by 0.30%, Solana by 0.48%, and Cardano by 0.25%. On the other hand, the cost of Dogecoin fell by 2.35%, Shiba Inu by 0.94%, Samoyedcoin by 0.71%, and Dogelon Mars by 0.16%.
What Is The Nexo Card By Mastercard And Nexo?
The Nexo Card launched by Mastercard and Nexo is neither strictly a credit card nor a debit card. It's a hybrid version of both of these. Initially, the card was beta-tested in Europe. The main perks of the card, as presented by Mastercard and Nexo, are:
- The user needs no credit check to own this card.
- The Nexo card has no monthly and annual charges.
- The card has no charges in foreign transactions up to 20,000 Euros.
- Users will enjoy a 2% cashback while making purchases using the card. If the user wants to redeem the cashback via Nexo tokens, the reward is 2%. Whereas, if the user wishes to save the cashback via Bitcoin, the prize is 0.5%.
- Virtual cards are also available for users.
If we look into the card's working, firstly, users need to have crypto in their Nexo wallet to be eligible for using the card. The card lets users spend their money without really having to sell away their cryptos. It's much similar to another program of Nexo, i.e., the Nexo Borrow program. Users use the crypto coins on their Nexo wallet as collateral while taking loans.
For example, suppose a user has 500 worth of Bitcoin in his Nexo wallet, and he makes a purchase of things worth 100 using the card. Immediately after the user makes the purchase, 200 worth of Bitcoin from his Nexo wallet is sealed and locked as collateral. Thus, the user can't earn any interest on that amount of coins. However, if your collateral comprises Nexo tokens, you will make passive interest on them even while they are used as collateral.
Moreover, according to Nexo's policy, users can repay the loan amount anytime and in any supported cryptocurrency. Furthermore, users aren't charged with any penalty if they refund the amount within 30 days. Here are the advantages of using the Nexo Card:
- The users get instant access to money without really having to sell their cryptos.
- Users also get cash back from the purchases made using the Nexo Card.
- Moreover, if the user's portfolio performs bullish on Nexo and has a lot of Nexo coins, he can get a loan at a 0% interest rate.
The disadvantages of using the Nexo card are:
- As the interest piles up immediately, users need to repay their loan amounts infractions regularly.
- Users need to have a Nexo wallet and some cryptos to get started with the card.
- The locked-up collateral determines the card's spending limit and doesn't yield any interest.
How Will Mastercard's Crypto Payment Card Be Different From A Normal Credit Card?
The move taken by MasterCard and Nexo points out the futuristic approach toward financial transactions. The crypto-backed payment is launched by the collaboration drawing the attention of the global financial institutions toward digital assets as a model.
The crypto-backed payment card may seem similar in mechanism but has sharp differences in their working process.
According to a statement, Nexo said," the service of crypto-backed payment cards is available to a selective part of Europe. Initially, it will be tasted in some central European countries before it is launched globally."
One of the primary specialties of this payment card is that the cardholder need not sell their digital assets. For example, a user can use the card to proceed with transactions, but the credit granted to the user is based on the digital assets he has. If he has some amount of Bitcoin, it will work as collateral for the credit system.
If you have "x" fiat value of digital assets, then this card will allow you to use up to 90% of the value of "x." This card has a crypto-backed credit line and is a much more secure option than traditional credit cards. The card also set free the users from FX fees for around 20,000 euros.
The user required no extra charges for not using the card; the firm's official statement confirmed that there is no minimum indemnity. The firms also set a vast merchant base for using this card; the card can be used by around 92 million merchants globally.
If you are among the users who can maintain a loan-to-value ratio of 20% or below, then the interest will stay at 0%. The limits are not set for the withdrawal and spending of the amount if the user considers the open credit line.
Conclusion
One of their blog Mastercard, states, "We are more concerned about the future of payments and cryptocurrency. We are preparing ourselves for the upcoming changes. The surge of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is also unavoidable for technology-based fintech firms".
The way users take advantage of digital assets and how they are incorporating this modernization in the financial world is worth considering. Although the approach and concepts are very new to the world, they can bring revolutionary changes in how the world looks into these matters.
The world's first crypto-backed payment launched by the collaboration of Mastercard and Nexo attempted to bring new things to the world. It has sharp reasons why a user should choose this one. How far this attempt will be successful depends on how the user accepts it. | https://www.trend-online.com/cryptocurrency/crypto-payment-card-by-mastercard/ | 2022-05-30T18:51:22Z | https://www.trend-online.com/cryptocurrency/crypto-payment-card-by-mastercard/ | true | 1 |

A man seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum and shouted at people to think of planet Earth.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said Monday that the 36-year-old man was detained following Sunday’s incident and sent to a police psychiatric unit. An investigation has been opened into the damage of cultural artifacts.
Videos posted on social media showed a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose identity was unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery to slack-jawed guests.
The cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t damaged.
Security guards were filmed escorting the wig-wearing man away as he called out to the surprised visitors in the gallery: “Think of the Earth! There are people who are destroying the Earth! Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.”
Guards were then filmed cleaning the cake from the glass. A Louvre statement confirmed the attack on the artwork involving a “patisserie.”
The 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece has seen a lot in its over-500 years in existence.
The painting was stolen in 1911 by a museum employee, an event which increased the painting’s international fame. It was also damaged in an acid attack perpetrated by a vandal in the 1950s, and has since been kept behind glass.
In 2009, a Russian woman who was angry at not being able to get French citizenship threw a ceramic cup at it, smashing the cup but not harming the glass or the painting.

(KERO) — Although most food prices have shot up over the past few months, one item is holding steady for now: rotisserie chickens.
Although other chicken products, including eggs, have become noticeably more expensive. Many retailers including Sam's Club, Costco, and BJ's Wholesale Club aren't budging on the spit-roasted favorite.
Analysts say there's a strategy to this move: if consumers come in for a rotisserie chicken they will most likely also buy other items to go with the bird. They also say most customers remember how much the rotisserie chicken cost before so a price hike would be more noticeable. | https://www.turnto23.com/money/consumer/rotisserie-chicken-prices-holding-steady | 2022-05-30T19:02:31Z | https://www.turnto23.com/money/consumer/rotisserie-chicken-prices-holding-steady | true | null |

The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is all set to revamp the busy Chaudhary Morh intersection, which is expected to witness the inflow of major traffic when the Dhobhi Ghat rail over bridge opens up. Authority officials said that the redevelopment will take place over one kilometre of the GT Road stretch and the work is expected to be completed in two months.
Chaudhary Morh is a busy intersection in Ghaziabad city with the old Ghaziabad railway station, Gandhi Nagar, Ramte Ram Road and Ghanta Ghar intersection in its vicinity. The redevelopment of the intersection was planned in 2020 when consultancy firm Urban Mass Transit Company, proposed the revamp at a cost of ₹7.65 crore and had proposed two major U-turns.
“Under the new redevelopment plan, we have proposed to plug all the turns over a stretch of about one kilometre on GT Road. We will only have two major U-turns. One of these will be created near the Ghanta Ghar Kotwali, while the other will be near the Opulent mall,” said Rakesh Kumar Gupta, GDA chief engineer.
According to a study by the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), which was submitted to the GDA in August 2019, the Chaudhary Morh intersection has movement of about 50.7% two-wheelers, 19.7% autos and 18.7% cars, besides other vehicles.
In its traffic mobility plan, CRRI had taken up an eight-hour study of the Chaudhary Morh intersection and stated that it witnesses movement of about 67,764 passenger car units.
The GT Road stretch in Ghaziabad city connects to National Highway 9, Delhi Meerut Road and Hapur Road.
Earlier in July 2019, the CRRI in its study for the ‘corridor management plan,’ suggested development of a four-lane divided elevated road from Ghanta Ghar to Bhatia Morh in order to decongest the Chaudhary Morh intersection. However, the past plans could not proceed due to paucity of funds. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/noida-news/infra-revamp-at-busy-chaudhary-morh-intersection-in-ghaziabad-soon-101653936960311-amp.html | 2022-05-30T19:20:02Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/noida-news/infra-revamp-at-busy-chaudhary-morh-intersection-in-ghaziabad-soon-101653936960311-amp.html | true | 1 |

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said the National Health Policy announced in 2017 aimed at making quality health services accessible to all at an affordable cost, Trend reports citing The Tribune.
“The aim of the government through the policy is to arrange health facilities for all in a comprehensive and holistic manner. To achieve these goals, the cooperation of all sections of society, especially the aware citizens, along with the participation of government and private sector institutions is essential,” the President said.
He was addressing a function on the subject ‘One Nation, One Health System is the need of Hour’ organised by Arogya Bharati in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, today.
The President said Arogya Bharti had made a very positive effort by raising awareness among people and by bringing together people from all medical systems.

Jordyn Woods and her NBA player boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns were present at the White House for a monumental occasion on the second anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
The couple, who recently celebrated their two-year dating anniversary, traveled to D.C. to be among some of Floyd’s family as President Joe Biden signed a police reform executive order into law, inspired by Floyd’s passing.
Breonna Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, was also present for the signing, according to Woods.
“Today was an honor being able to witness a step in the right direction towards police reform in our country. As well as the 2-year remembrance of George Floyd,” the influencer posted earlier this week. “Pictured are some of the beautiful women I got to meet today, @kamalaharris @vp, Breonna Taylor’s mother @tamikalpalmer, and George Floyd’s beautiful daughter and sisters. This is a day I’ll never forget. ❤️ Their strength can inspire us all.”
Woods offered more context on her and Towns’ invitation underneath another series of photos captured during the couple’s visit.
The influencer highlighted that as an advocate and player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Towns does social justice work in the community his team represents.
“For those of you wondering why we were at the White House, @karltowns my other half does countless things for social justice and has done a lot in his community especially where he plays basketball (Minnesota), where the George Floyd incident took place,” Jordyn penned. “This is just the start of different initiatives we are working on behind the scenes to help make this world a better place for our peers and for our youth ❤️.”

It’s reported that the executive order Biden signed into law “will require federal law enforcement agencies to update policies on the use of force,” according to PEOPLE.
The order will restrict local police officers from “surplus military equipment” and open up a database keeping records of officers “with a history of misconduct.”
When asked about his feelings on the executive order, Towns told TMZ Sports: “It’s a step in the right direction.” | https://madamenoire.com/1315893/jordyn-woods-karl-anthony-towns-white-house/ | 2022-05-30T19:31:55Z | https://madamenoire.com/1315893/jordyn-woods-karl-anthony-towns-white-house/ | true | 1 |
INDIANAPOLIS (WXIN) – Nearly as soon as it returned, some Taco Bell locations across the United States sold out of the Mexican Pizza – and it’s unclear when the fan favorite will be restocked.
“Because of the incredible love for the Mexican Pizza, we have begun selling out across the country. Our restaurant teams trained weeks for what we knew would be a big return, we just didn’t realize how big, and replenishing the beloved menu item is taking longer than we’d like,” read a statement on Taco Bell’s website.
Some locations have signs up signaling the Mexican Pizza is sold out, while workers at other Taco Bells have been telling customers the menu item is sold out before they even begin to order.
Taco Bell’s website said, “We’re working diligently with our restaurants and suppliers to get more [Mexican Pizzas] back in the hands and stomachs of our biggest fans.” It directed customers to follow its Mexican Pizza FAQ page for the latest details and information.
The Mexican Pizza returned to Taco Bell menus on May 19, about 18 months after it was removed in November of 2020 to the outrage of many fast food lovers.
Taco Bell is also pushing back its Mexican Pizza musical starring Dolly Parton and Doja Cat. It was originally supposed to premiere on TikTok May 26. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/taco-bell-locations-across-us-already-sold-out-of-mexican-pizza/ | 2022-05-30T19:34:41Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/national-news/taco-bell-locations-across-us-already-sold-out-of-mexican-pizza/ | true | 21 |
Today on the show: it’s a special edition, celebrating some of education’s most underappreciated folks. For this episode, we’re re-naming the show: “SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE!”
Kevin Beverley is a retired teacher -- and current substitute teacher! We talk a lot about what it’s like as a sub during the pandemic, and how weird it is to walk into someone else’s building, someone else’s classroom and establish yourself as a teacher after decades as an educator.
We also have a great chat about his time coaching cross country, what is special about connecting with kids through running, and his time as a journalism advisor for student news teaching kids how to talk to people and get the story.
Unfortunately for weary listeners, no substitute host!
If you’ve never listened before, our show is based on an idea -- we’ve all had teachers in our lives who shaped who we are. And we want to hear about the teachers who inspired you or deserve a spotlight in your community. Every educator we have on this podcast, whether teacher, coach, counselor or professor, is nominated by our listeners.
So, tell us about the person who comes to your mind. Shoot us an email and nominate an educator at teacherslounge@niu.edu and they could be on the podcast! And subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to speed on everything to do with the show.
Also, Teachers’ Lounge is now on the radio! The podcast won’t change one bit, but you can now catch the show as an hour-long radio program every month on WNIJ. We’ll have multiple guests, stories, and new segments to hear. Our next episode airs on Friday, March 25 at 11 a.m. on 89-5 FM and right here WNIJ.org. Tune in the last Friday of the month at the same time for future episodes.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization’s top monkeypox expert said she doesn’t expect the hundreds of cases reported to date to turn into another pandemic, but acknowledged there are still many unknowns about the disease, including how exactly it’s spreading and whether the suspension of mass smallpox immunization decades ago may somehow be speeding its transmission.
In a public session on Monday, WHO’s Dr. Rosamund Lewis said it was critical to emphasize that the vast majority of cases being seen in dozens of countries globally are in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men, so that scientists can further study the issue and for those at risk to be careful.
“It’s very important to describe this because it appears to be an increase in a mode of transmission that may have been under-recognized in the past,” said Lewis, WHO’s technical lead on monkeypox.
“At the moment, we are not concerned about a global pandemic,” she said. “We are concerned that individuals may acquire this infection through high-risk exposure if they don’t have the information they need to protect themselves.”
She warned that anyone is at potential risk of the disease, regardless of their sexual orientation. Other experts have pointed out that it may be accidental that the disease was first picked up in gay and bisexual men, saying it could quickly spill over into other groups if it is not curbed. To date, WHO said 23 countries that haven’t previously had monkeypox have now reported more than 250 cases.
Lewis said it’s unknown whether monkeypox is being transmitted by sex or just the close contact between people engaging in sexual activity and described the threat to the general population as “low.” Monkeypox is known to spread when there is close physical contact with an infected person or their clothing or bedsheets.
She also warned that among the current cases, there is a higher proportion of people with fewer lesions that are more concentrated in the genital region and sometimes nearly impossible to see.
“You may have these lesions for two to four weeks (and) they may not be visible to others, but you may still be infectious,” she said.
Last week, a top adviser to WHO said the outbreak in Europe, U.S., Israel, Australia and beyond was likely linked to sex at two recent raves in Spain and Belgium. That marks a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and epidemics haven’t crossed borders.
Scientists haven’t yet determined whether the monkeypox outbreak in rich countries can be traced to Africa, but the disease continues to sicken people on the continent. On Monday, Nigerian authorities confirmed its first monkeypox death this year, in addition to six more cases. WHO says there are typically thousands of cases reported from Nigeria and Congo every year.
Most monkeypox patients experience only fever, body aches, chills and fatigue. People with more serious illness may develop a rash and lesions on the face and hands that can spread to other parts of the body. No deaths have been reported in the current outbreak beyond Africa.
WHO’s Lewis also said that while previous cases of monkeypox in central and western Africa have been relatively contained, it was not clear if people could spread monkeypox without symptoms or if the disease might be airborne, like measles or COVID-19.
Monkeypox is related to smallpox, but has milder symptoms. After smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, countries suspended their mass immunization programs, a move that some experts believe may be helping monkeypox spread, since there is now little widespread immunity to related diseases; smallpox vaccines are also protective against monkeypox.
What’s going on around the globe. Find out in International News
Lewis said it would be “unfortunate” if monkeypox were able to “exploit the immunity gap” left by smallpox 40 years ago, saying that there was still a window of opportunity to close down the outbreak so that monkeypox would not become entrenched in new regions. | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/who-monkeypox-wont-turn-into-pandemic-but-many-unknowns/ | 2022-05-30T19:41:24Z | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/who-monkeypox-wont-turn-into-pandemic-but-many-unknowns/ | false | 50 |

Bauchi governor, Bala Mohammed moves to reclaim governorship ticket after Losing presidential bid
Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, who lost out at the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held at the weekend in Abuja has returned to secure his ticket for a second term of office.
It was gathered that the governor, who despite not participating in the governorship primaries, is still the candidate of the party for the 2023 general elections.
The party’s governorship ticket was won by a former secretary to Bauchi State government, Barrister Ibrahim Kassim.
He was the sole aspirant for the governorship seat during the primaries held by the party in the state.
Barrister Kassim was declared the winner by the Returning Officer, Hassan Grema, who said the aspirant scored 655 votes out of 656 as one vote was declared invalid.
However, the name and picture of Governor Mohammed appeared on the primary election ballot paper which made people curious.
Responding to enquiries by journalists over the issue immediately after the primaries, the state PDP chairman, Alhaji Hamza Koshe Akuyam, was quoted as saying “No, he (Mohammed) didn’t buy the form. It was a printing error that his name appeared on the ballot.”
A source said there was an inside arrangement for Governor Mohammed to contest for his second term as plan ‘B’ in the event he lost at the presidential primaries which have already come to pass.
The source said, “It all depends on what the people of Bauchi State decide. He contested for the presidential ticket based on their calls and that of other Nigerians. It is also for them to decide what he does next.
When told that the party has already conducted its governorship primaries which the governor did not participate in, the source said, “that notwithstanding, whatever the people decide will be done.”
He added, “The governor is somebody who answers the calls of his people. Only God knows what will happen tomorrow. Yes, we have a candidate. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? It is only Allah that knows.”
“I am telling you, both the person who was chosen by the people of Bauchi State and Bala Mohammed who went for the presidential ticket, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Their fate lay in what the people decide. You will see what will happen subsequently.”
When asked to be precise on whether the governor is going for his second term, the source said, “Yes, that is it. You know the presidential contest was an experience. Just like going on a voyage.”
Another source close to the governor, who also spoke to our reporter on phone on Sunday, confirmed that the governor would be going for a second term.
“You know, the person holding the ticket is only holding forte for him ‘on trust’. So, he will definitely get the ticket and will contest for second term,” he said.

Alleged N2.9bn Fraud: Ex-Imo gov, Okorocha arraigned in court
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has brought the former governor of Imo state, Senator Rochas Okorocha before the Federal High Court in Abuja for his planned arraignment on a 17-count money laundering charge.
It will be recalled that operatives of the anti-graft agency had last Tuesday, May 24, arrested Okorocha at his Abuja residence, in an operation that lasted over seven hours.
The arrest followed alleged refusal by the former governor to make himself available for trial.
EFCC accused him of deliberately evading service of the charge on him.
Okorocha, who piloted the affairs of Imo state from 2011 to 2019, was charged before the court following his alleged complicity in a N2.9 billion fraud.
He was charged alongside a chieftain of the All Progressive, APC, Anyim Nyerere Chinenye, and five companies — Naphtali International Limited, Perfect Finish Multi Projects Limited, Consolid Projects Consulting Limited, Pramif International Limited, and Legend World Concepts Limited.
EFCC alleged that the defendants conspired and diverted public funds into private accounts for their personal use.
According to the anti-graft agency, the defendants committed the alleged offence between October 2014 and February 2016.
It alleged that the defendants sequentially siphoned funds from the Imo State Government House account and Imo State Joint Local Government Project account, and diverted same into accounts of private firms.
Okorocha, who is currently the Senator representing Imo West, had earlier declared his intention to contest for presidency in the 2023 general elections.
The court had on May 27, rejected an application the former governor filed to be released on bail pending his arraignment.

Four killed, residents robbed in Lagos cult war
No fewer than four persons were killed in the Ebute Metta area of Lagos State after rival cults clashed in a supremacy battle.
The fight, which lasted for three days, was said to be between the Kogbagidi Boys and Willoughby Boys.
It was gathered that the two groups have been at loggerhead, leading to constant clashes in the recent past.
The Kogbadigi Boys are led by one Tunde, aka Omo Aiye, while the Willoughby Boys are led by one Ase.
It was gathered that during the clash, the cultists looted shops and dispossessed residents of their valuables during the incident.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said policemen and patrol vehicles had been deployed in the area.
Asked the number of casualties, the PPRO said, “The police are still investigating the matter and when we have the facts, they will be made known to members of the public.”
In recent times, cultism has assumed a new dimension as cult members use supremacy battles to unleash terror on members of the public.
The Lagos State House of Assembly passed the Unlawful Societies and Cultism (Prohibition) Bill 2020 into law in order to curb cult activities in the state.

UEFA announces independent inquiry into Champions League final trouble involving fans and police
UEFA has commissioned an independent review of the pre-match trouble that occurred before the Champions League final on Saturday at the Stade de France.
Liverpool fans struggled to enter the venue and were hit with tear gas by local police, with the chaos causing a delay in the continent's signature club event.
Conflicting stories and poor communication has characterised the aftermath of the scenes, and the imminent report could help shed light on what actually happened in the capital.

"The comprehensive review will examine decision making, responsibility and behaviours of all entities involved in the final," wrote the governing body in a statement. "The report will be independently compiled and Dr. Tiago Brandao Rodrigues from Portugal will lead the production of this review.
"Dr. Tiago Brandao Rodrigues is a Member of the Portuguese Parliament and the President of the Parliamentary Committee of Environment and Energy. He was the Portuguese Minister of Education (also in charge of Sports and Youth) between 2015 and 2022, a member of the World Antidoping Agency Foundation Board (2019-2021) and was the Portuguese Olympic attache during the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
"In order to guarantee his independent status in the process, Dr. Brandao Rodrigues agreed to execute this task on a pro bono basis.
"Evidence will be gathered from all relevant parties and the findings of the independent report will be made public once completed and upon receipt of the findings, UEFA will evaluate the next steps." | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/uefa-announces-independent-inquiry-into-champions-league/bltdfc485d8ea1c3af6 | 2022-05-30T19:46:43Z | https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/uefa-announces-independent-inquiry-into-champions-league/bltdfc485d8ea1c3af6 | true | 10 |
(The Hill) – The Supreme Court will soon issue its first major Second Amendment opinion in more than a decade, coming after a pair of recent mass shootings sent the nation reeling and reignited a tense debate over gun rights and public safety.
The conservative majority court is expected to rule in the coming days or weeks in a pending dispute over New York state’s tight limits on the concealed carry of handguns.
Experts said that while it’s unclear just how broadly the Supreme Court would rule, the restrictive New York law is likely to be invalidated in a decision that could have ramifications for gun control efforts across the country.
“It does seem relatively clear that the court is going to strike down New York’s law and make it harder for cities and states to restrict concealed carry of firearms,” said Adam Winkler, a professor at UCLA School of Law. “It remains to be seen exactly how broad the Supreme Court goes, but one thing is clear: as mass shootings become more of a political issue, the court is going to take options away from lawmakers on the basis of the Second Amendment.”
The justices are expected to hand down an opinion as soon as next week but no later than late June or early July.
As they deliberate, the U.S. is again engaged in a wrenching debate over the constitutional right to bear arms and Americans’ concerns over personal safety in a country with more than 390 million privately owned guns.
The discussion has intensified as a result of two recent mass shootings that shattered communities in New York and Texas.
On May 14, an 18-year-old gunman armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle and clad in body armor entered a Buffalo supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood and killed 10 and injured three others; all but two of the victims were Black.
Ten days later, an 18-year-old gunman armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle, high-capacity magazines and a handgun carried out a massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 students and two teachers in the country’s deadliest school shooting in almost a decade.
In the aftermath of the slayings, Democrats called for a renewed push to pass gun control legislation. But those efforts were unlikely to clear the 50-50 Senate, which would require support from at least 10 Republicans to overcome a filibuster.
Republican lawmakers, including some top funding recipients from gun rights groups, have sought to shift attention away from firearms and onto issues like mental health and limiting entrances at schools.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in the pending New York case seems prepared to pick up where it left off more than a decade ago.
In the court’s 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, the court ruled 5-4 that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep a gun in the home for self-defense. Although the court in the Heller case noted that the Second Amendment right is “not unlimited,” the justices largely left unanswered the question of which gun restrictions are permitted under the Constitution.
Joseph Blocher, a law professor at Duke who co-directs the Duke Center for Firearms Law, called the case a potential blockbuster.
“I do think that this case will, more than Heller did, tell us what forms of gun regulation are constitutional and why,” he said.
The New York law requires concealed carry applicants to demonstrate that they have a special need for the license, beyond a basic desire for self-defense. New York’s tight restriction is among eight states and the District of Columbia that give wide discretion to licensing officials over these determinations.
The Department of Justice, on behalf of the Biden administration, argued in support of New York and urged the court to defer to the longstanding practice of allowing legislatures to place reasonable limits on firearms to protect public safety.
But during oral argument in November, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court seemed skeptical of New York’s strict limits on the carrying of guns outside the home.
Blocher said it’s likely the law will be struck down as unconstitutional and that, as a result, lawmakers could be left with fewer options for regulating firearms.
“At least until now, the scope of gun regulation has been primarily a question for politics and we decide collectively the degree and the ways in which we want to regulate,” he said. “The Second Amendment puts some outside limits on that, but the Supreme Court has repeatedly reiterated that the Second Amendment permits various forms of gun regulation, and in the (New York) case, the court seems likely to restrict the available policy space, so we will probably have fewer options.”
Blocher said the court’s most likely grounds for striking down the New York law would be a ruling that either says the Second Amendment extends outside the home to some degree and New York has made it too hard to exercise that right, or a finding that lawmakers gave too much discretion to licensing officials. A third, less likely option, would be for the court to prohibit outright licensing systems for concealed carry.
According to Winkler, of UCLA Law, the court’s ruling could have a major impact on public safety.
“We already know more guns equals more crime and we have an awful raft of mass shootings – gun homicides have spiked in the last couple of years,” he said. “We have a major gun violence problem and expanding Second Amendment protections, greater than they already are, is likely to make it much harder for lawmakers to enact effective laws to reduce gun violence.” | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/supreme-court-may-soon-expand-gun-rights-amid-roiling-debate/ | 2022-05-30T19:48:01Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/supreme-court-may-soon-expand-gun-rights-amid-roiling-debate/ | true | 31 |
PARIS (AP) — A man seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum and shouted at people to think of planet Earth.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said Monday that the 36-year-old man was detained following Sunday’s incident and sent to a police psychiatric unit. An investigation has been opened into the damage of cultural artifacts.
Videos posted on social media showed a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose identity was unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery to slack-jawed guests.
The cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t damaged.
Security guards were filmed escorting the wig-wearing man away as he called out to the surprised visitors in the gallery: “Think of the Earth! There are people who are destroying the Earth! Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.”
Guards were then filmed cleaning the cake from the glass. A Louvre statement confirmed the attack on the artwork involving a “patisserie.”
The 16th-century Renaissance masterpiece has seen a lot in its over-500 years in existence.
The painting was stolen in 1911 by a museum employee, an event which increased the painting’s international fame. It was also damaged in an acid attack perpetrated by a vandal in the 1950s, and has since been kept behind glass.
In 2009, a Russian woman who was angry at not being able to get French citizenship threw a ceramic cup at it, smashing the cup but not harming the glass or the painting. | https://wgnradio.com/news/entertainment-news/man-in-wig-throws-cake-at-glass-protecting-mona-lisa/ | 2022-05-30T19:49:36Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/entertainment-news/man-in-wig-throws-cake-at-glass-protecting-mona-lisa/ | false | 57 |

Many of us have stopped our social media scrolling to watch a food video at some point in our lives, but it probably wasn't a video of salad.
New research out of Canada found people were far more likely to like share or comment on videos of calorie-dense foods such as pancakes or fried chicken.
“Researchers believe this phenomenon is connected to saturated fats. Saturated fats are prevalent in things like butter, cheese, meats and oils and they're really known to give food that juicy, chewy and creamy experience,” said Ethan Pancer, Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary's University. “That's what it's actually commonly seen in a lot of these videos that they're layered with different types of cheeses, the cheese is melting and it's really kind of getting that juicy, chewy experience that that people seem to be looking for.”
As engagement increases, these junk food posts are often rewarded by social media algorithms and they become more likely to show up in your feed. Since food promotion is linked to our eating habits, it's likely these unhealthy posts are leading to some unhealthy decisions.
“If more unhealthy content is being viewed,” Pancer said. “What that actually means is changing the social dynamics of what we're seeing as normal for food consumption. And so this isn't just changing what we eat as individuals, but it's changing how we share our food and what people are actually eating at in a social context.”
With many Western countries battling obesity, these unhealthy food posts are getting the attention of lawmakers next year. The UK will ban junk food advertising online.
Similar rules have been proposed here in the US, but have not gained traction. Companies spend more than $14 billion annually and nearly all of that money promotes unhealthy products. | https://www.10news.com/news/national/social-media-videos-spark-unhealthy-eating-experts-say | 2022-05-30T19:54:55Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/social-media-videos-spark-unhealthy-eating-experts-say | false | 14 |

Researchers are having a hard time explaining why Quebec had Canada’s highest official COVID-19 death toll despite a relatively low number of excess deaths between March 2020 and October 2021.
A new study released today by the Canadian Medical Association Journal tried to answer that question but came up short.
The study says Quebec had 4,033 excess deaths during that period but reported 11,470 COVID-19 fatalities – almost three times more. It’s the biggest gap recorded in Canada during the pandemic.
Excess deaths refer to the degree to which observed deaths exceed expected deaths based on modelling from previous years.
Kimberlyn McGrail, author of the study, “Excess mortality, COVID-19 and health care systems in Canada,” says she observed too many factors to offer any definitive answer.
Frédéric Fleury-Payeur with Quebec’s statistical institute says he thinks Quebec doctors included COVID-19 as a cause of death more liberally than doctors in other provinces did.

To the Black community of Frederick County,
We see you, and we see that white supremacy is real, that the systems that support and defend white privilege are robust, and that they have been activated with a renewed energy in order to halt and even push back cultural and systemic progress toward a more just and equitable society. And we see that these truths are not a matter of academic musings but are deeply damaging, inflicting real and quantifiable harm on individuals, families and communities financially, socially and emotionally.
Also, we see you and know that these injuries do not define you. The history of the Black community of Frederick is one rich in art and culture, in civic leadership and industrial investment, and in building institutions that contribute to the strengthening and animating of the greater Frederick society to be a vibrant and dynamic place to live, work and play. Despite cultural and systemic forces that would seek to diminish your contributions, you have made a way. And everyone in the greater Frederick community has benefitted from it.
We at Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ do not claim to be a perfect community, far from it. We are a work in progress, with still much work to do. But we are working, and won’t stop as we move with intentionality to grow into being an anti-racist community of faith. We believe in God’s promises of peace through justice revealed in Jesus Christ, and so we seek to offer not just our thoughts and prayers, but our hands, our feet, our voices, our civic engagement, and our resources to making real the vision of the beloved community.
Our hearts and our souls cry out to God for the mortal toll exacted on the families in Buffalo on May 14 who lost loved ones at the Tops Friendly Markets and for those whose loved ones survived the horror but will now carry the trauma of that memory for the rest of their lives. But we also will not look away from the domestic terrorism of that day which sought to traumatize all members of the Black community. Its message was loud and clear, declaring that in the hearts of some in this nation Black lives really don’t matter. We know that it may be an inadequate balm, but please know that we stand firm with you in this truth: Black lives do matter, and white silence is complicity.
We look forward to learning more about how we can do our part, not just inside our own congregation but more importantly in the greater community to demand that God’s truth of the full and inherent dignity of all people is realized in every aspect of human thriving. God be with you, and with us all, in the days to come.
Peace be with you.
On behalf of the Consistory of Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ, Frederick, Peter Brehm, President | https://www.fredericknewspost.com/opinion/columns/white-supremacy-is-real-and-must-be-addressed/article_e7e0c7a4-0548-5440-a3cb-b447beed093f.html | 2022-05-30T20:07:35Z | https://www.fredericknewspost.com/opinion/columns/white-supremacy-is-real-and-must-be-addressed/article_e7e0c7a4-0548-5440-a3cb-b447beed093f.html | false | 1 |
Marks Pluribus' Second Acquisition in the Property Asset Management Space
TORONTO, May 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Pluribus Technologies Corp. (TSXV: PLRB) ("Pluribus" or the "Company"), a growing acquiror of small, profitable software companies, today announced that pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated May 30, 2022, the "Share Purchase Agreement") it has acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rowanwood Professional Service Limited ("Rowanwood" or "RPSL").
Based in the United Kingdom, Rowanwood is a provider of housing asset management solutions. The Apex software supports the management and evaluation of maintenance programs by cataloguing an inventory of assets and their condition, tracking investment planning and supplier allocation, and providing financial management and project audit, along with key performance indicator review. RPSL's customers include local authorities and housing associations, predominantly in the UK.
"With our growing portfolio beginning to gain momentum and generate improving performance, and having secured our new credit facilities, we are executing on the same transaction cadence that we delivered in 2021," said Richard Adair, CEO of Pluribus Technologies. "Rowanwood's solution set is highly complementary to that of previously acquired Pluribus portfolio company Assured Software, which specializes in jobsite management tools for construction and restoration. Given the highly adjacent nature of the two solutions, we see opportunities to provide real-time communications between asset managers and their tenants as well as enhanced monitoring and analysis of planned maintenance. This improved functionality is expected to support cross-selling of an expanded suite of advanced solutions on the part of both companies."
"Over the past five years, Rowanwood has redeveloped its asset management technology and, more recently, developed a new product offering to help property organisations meet their carbon net zero challenges by 2030 and beyond," said Andy Rendell, Managing Director of Rowanwood Professional Services Limited. "We are delighted to be joining Pluribus Technologies and believe we can enhance their property asset management vertical and expand the business into new geographies and regions. We firmly believe this is a great opportunity for Rowanwood, our employees and our customers, and will help accelerate our brand recognition in the markets we serve both here in the UK and overseas."
- Rowanwood has a long history as a profitable technology business with an established operational track record, including a diverse group of property managing customers across the UK;
- Further strengthens Pluribus' presence in the digital enablement vertical with a particular focus on the property asset management and contracting space;
- Highly complementary solution offering to that of existing portfolio company, Assured Software, with numerous potential product synergies and cross-selling opportunities, including overseas;
- Pluribus' second acquisition in the UK, growing the portfolio's footprint in the country; and
- Potential to attract additional complementary software solution acquisitions by leveraging growing critical mass in the property asset management space.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay RPSL an aggregate of approximately £3.6 million ($5.8 million) in cash, as well as an earn-out based on the achievement of future performance targets by Rowanwood. The price paid for the acquisition falls within Pluribus' historical target range for Adjusted EBITDA1 and the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive.
Andy Rendell, the Managing Director of Rowanwood, will remain involved in Rowanwood post-acquisition to ensure a smooth integration into the Pluribus portfolio of companies.
RPSL is the software vendor and owner of the IP to the Apex Asset Management Solution. The Apex software is an all-encompassing and functionally rich housing Asset Management solution designed and developed by Rowanwood to help organizations manage their property portfolio.

'Covered in blood': Woman in good spirits after eagle attack in Campbell River, B.C.
To say Campbell River, B.C., woman Chelsea Cheeba is an eagle fan would be an understatement. She loves photographing the majestic birds.
"All the time," she told CTV News on Friday. "I've even taken a few selfies with an eagle."
Chelsea Cheeba is pictured. (CTV News)
But just days ago, a photo session with one of the birds of prey ended badly.
"I'd just taken some pictures and then I started walking away and then next thing you know the eagle dive-bombed me and got me good in the back of the head," said Cheeba.
"Then I felt the back of my head, looked at my hand and it was pretty much covered in blood," she said.
Cheeba says the eagle attacked her not once, but twice.
A wound caused by the eagle is pictured. (CTV News)
'SHE LOOKED SCARED'
Cheeba ran towards a nearby TD Bank, where another woman saw what was happening.
"Well she was running, like ducking," said Natisha Fournier.
"I asked her if she was OK just because she looked scared, and then when she turned around I saw blood all over the back of her head," she said.
Fournier rushed the injured Cheeba into her car and then took her to a nearby store, where Fournier grabbed some first aid supplies.
"I'm just like, 'Come with me. I'll get you an ambulance,'" said Fournier.
"It was scary but then afterwards I started laughing about it," added Cheeba.
Natisha Fournier is pictured. (CTV News)
Fournier says she was glad to be in the right place at the right time to help Cheeba, who ended up going to the hospital for an exam and a tetanus shot.
Cheeba was out the very next day spotting eagles. However, she says she might avoid taking photos of that particular raptor again
"It was probably tired of me taking its picture," she joked.
PROTECTING NEST
Experts at the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) in Merville, B.C., have another theory.
"It's likely that it was protecting a nest, so not hunting but just protecting its young," said Gyl Andersen, manager of wildlife rehabilitation at MARS.
"Eagles could do a lot of damage if they wanted to, so it was probably just trying to scare her off," Andersen adds.
"We see that really commonly with other types of birds, like crows or ravens, even songbirds."
Cheeba says she'll keep a closer eye on her photography subjects in the future.

There is a saying that floats around the skincare community: the best sunscreen is the one you actually use. As an important preventative measure for healthy skin, consistent sunscreen application is key, especially on long days spent outside, be it on the beach, trail, or traipsing around a new city. Thankfully, with so many face sunscreens offering varying textures, smells, and consistencies to choose from, it’s easier than ever to find something that works for you.
Finding one that works well on the go can take a little more consideration, though: Applying sunscreen in the bathroom with a fresh face and clean hands is not much of a challenge. But reapplication? It’s inconvenient at best and tedious at worst. Whether you’ve got a face full of makeup or hands covered in sand, there are logistics involved that make reapplying every two hours feel next to impossible.
Habit’s N°41 SPF Mister is my newfound solution to that challenge. As the name implies, the broad-spectrum sunscreen offers SPF 41 and is meant to easily be incorporated into your skincare routine as a habit. A sunscreen spray? You've probably seen your fair share, but the N°41 mist isn’t one of those giant blue aerosol cans lugged around in your family beach bag.
The ultra-fine mist lays on your face lightly without being sticky or greasy, like a hydrating spray you might spritz on mid-flight. Those who have sensory issues with regular sunscreen may appreciate it, too—there is a slight rose geranium scent, but it dissipates after the mist settles into your skin. N°41 is a chemical sunscreen that leaves no white cast, making it a good option for those with more melanated skin, too.
While I was initially concerned that such a fine mist wouldn’t give me enough coverage, I took it for a test drive while hiking through McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Arizona and sunbathing on Long Island in the Bahamas. Not only did I enjoy it—and avoid any sunburn—but it also made reapplying sunscreen a breeze. Spraying on the refreshing mist helped cool me down as well, which acted as a built-in incentive to reapply.
Since I first started using the Habit SPF mist, it has slowly become a skincare staple. I keep the chic, TSA-friendly 0.9 fluid ounce bottle in my purse at all times, especially now that it’s summertime. The size has been key for me, convenient enough to carry around in case of unexpected or prolonged sun exposure. It has also come in handy on hectic days where I’ve rushed to apply makeup before realizing I skipped sunscreen. Recently, Habit also launched the N°38 SPF Mister, a light cucumber-scented spray that has a slightly lower SPF and and even more lightweight finish. You bet I’ll be keeping a bottle in my beach bag. | https://www.cntraveler.com/story/habit-no-41-spf-mist-review | 2022-05-30T20:21:23Z | https://www.cntraveler.com/story/habit-no-41-spf-mist-review | false | 1 |
Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon didn’t disappoint with her stunning ensemble for the first live semi-final show.
For the Monday's (May 30) edition of the hit ITV talent show, Alesha pulled out all the stops in her stunning bright blue choice.
The 40-year-old pop star rocked a metallic, skin tight number with a plunging neckline teamed with lots of blingy jewellery and sleek hair.
Alesha is known for her elegant yet show-stopping ensembles while sitting on the judging panel alongside Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and David Walliams.
Meanwhile, Alesha's co-judge Amanda, 51, known for her very racy get-ups, has vowed not to cover up for the live shows - despite complaints from viewers.
In 2017, the family programme received 633 Ofcom complaints about Amanda's black sequinned gown which sported an extreme plunging cleavage and a low dipped back.
Talking to OK! about her infamous dress at the time, she said: "That dress was hysterical – it was Julien Macdonald, I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together.
"But, look, I'm from a small-chest family, plus you know I'm 48 years old. It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about.”
She added: "It's been called another national crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up."
Fans complained that her outfits were “not suitable” and she was “effectively topless”.
Amanda set tongues wagging again in 2020 after she stepped onto the stage wearing a plunging blue gown.
For that particular episode, Britain's Got Talent received 277 Ofcom complaints from viewers on the night however, 235 of those complaints belonged to Amanda and her sparkly blue dress.
The radio presenter previously told The Sun: "My t*ts seem to become the show's biggest talking point every year.
"Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so, I really do. I haven't done my job if they aren't," she joked.
Britain's Got Talent continue Tuesday night on ITV at 8pm

Uvalde Commissioner Has 'No Idea' Where Armed School Resource Officer Was When Shooting Started
A Uvalde, Texas, county commissioner said he does not know where the school district police officer for Robb Elementary School was during the time of last week’s shooting.
Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the incident, in which the police response has drawn scrutiny over their response time and how long it took for them to neutralize the shooter.
Speaking on the CBS show “Face the Nation,” Commissioner Ronald Garza was asked where the officer was that fateful day.
“I have no idea,” he said, according to CBS. “I’m like a lot of people. We’re still in the dark about that.”
Uvalde County Commissioner Ronald Garza tells @margbrennan he has “no idea” why the school district police officer assigned to Robb Elementary wasn’t there when the shooting began.

“We’re still learning of new developments that are coming to light. But, you know, my heart goes out to the community. We’re emotionally shattered. And, you know, we’re — we’re just really sad right now. It’s a time of mourning in our community,” he said.
Garza said the school’s officer could have been at another building. Initial reports said the officer sought to confront the shooter, but that was later found to be false.
“I do know that we have multiple campuses here,” he said. “It’s — perhaps he was at another campus when, when the shooting started. But no, I, you know — he — he could have been at another campus.”
On Friday Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said the officer was not at the building.
“That officer was not on scene, not on campus, but had heard the 911 call about the man with the gun and drove immediately to the area, sped to what he thought was the man with the gun to the back of the school and what turned out to be a teacher and not the suspect,” McCraw said then, according to the Washington Examiner.
Margaret Brennan of CBS asked Garza whether Pedro Arredondo, chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department, was under protection due to community anger. Arredondo was in command of the initial response.
“Well, you know, rightly so. You know, people are — are asking questions. Parents lost children. They’re devastated. And it’s — it’s — it’s just a sad situation. And I think the community deserves answers,” he said.
“What was the problem, a lack of security?” Brennan asked.
Garza said the truth will come out without pointing fingers.
“You know, perhaps — perhaps it was a lack of security, training. You know, I think there’s multiple factors that might be involved here,” he said.
“But you know, right now, it’s easy. It’s easy to point fingers right now. It’s easy to play the blame game. But, you know, our community I think needs to focus on — on the — on the — on healing right now,” he said.
Garza said the community welcomes the federal investigation that was announced Sunday by the Department of Justice.
“I think we need to learn more. As tragic as this may seem, we need to learn from this, you know, and parents deserve answers,” he said.
Garza also said that the family of the shooter is “a family of faith. They value church; they value hard work. [I’ve] known them for many years — great grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts. And, you know, this should not be a reflection on them.”
“You know, we raise our children, and we try to raise them in the right way. But — but sometimes our children have different thoughts, have different attitudes, personalities, but we do the best we can,” he said.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — For 60 years, Ted Sams regretted missing his high school graduation.
Now 78, Sams can finally call himself a graduate after donning a cap and gown and receiving his diploma Friday with the class of 2022 at Southern California's San Gabriel High School.
Back in 1962 when he was a high school senior, Sams got in trouble and was suspended five days before the end of the school year. He said he missed a crucial final exam and had to make it up over the summer.
“When I went back with my grade, they wouldn’t give me my diploma because I owed $4.80 for a book," Sams told KABC-TV. “And so I just walked away and said forget it.”
The school still had Sams’ original diploma locked away in an old filing cabinet. He beamed as he walked across the graduation stage at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and received the diploma.
“Over the years, I complained to my kids a number of times about how $4.80 kept me from having my diploma,” he said.
Sams said he plans on hanging the diploma on a wall at his home. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/California-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-17208138.php | 2022-05-30T20:27:31Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/California-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-17208138.php | true | 55 |

DURBAN - An African National Congress councillor in the eThekwini municipality was arrested for allegedly murdering his predecessor.
Ward 101 candidate from the party, Siyabonga Mkhize, was shot dead in Cato Crest while campaigning, last year.
The eThekwini spokesperson for ANC Mlondolozi Mkhize confirmed the arrest with News24 and said the member was taken in for questioning and later arrested by police. The suspect is due to appear in court. In a statement released by the ANC, it said the party stands with the families of the fallen comrades and wants justice.

The ruling party added that each time a member of the community is killed, the country’s freedom is threatened. The ANC calls for residents to intensify the fight against crime, in all its manifestations. The unacceptable level of murders, assaults, robberies, high jackings and domestic violence should not be tolerated in the region.

The suspect was a mourner at the funeral of Mkhize, IOL reported.
SA reacts
Social media users were left reeling following the arrest and believe that the ANC is rooted in corruption:
Herman C Venter said:
“Seems like the ANC has turned into a corrupt gangster organisation.”
Aviwe Mtolo commented:
“How does a true leader, who's in politics for the betterment of people's lives, and believes that his/her comrades are there to serve the interests of the person, kill his predecessor?”

Cochabamba chess players Daniela Cartero, Jessica Molina and Fernando Bolanos have qualified for the World Chess Olympiad to be held in Chennai from July 28 to August 10, but now their main concern is getting evidence to go to the international tournament.
In the case of Cordero and Bolaños, they promised to ask their family for savings and unconditional support to obtain tickets worth approximately $ 2,000.
For his part, Molina thinks about quitting to represent the country because she has plenty of financial support from her family.
“The lack of financial support from local and national authorities in all sports is worrying and recurring,” said Cortero, who is aiming to win a medal at the World Event.
The athlete recently promised to support the Athletes who traveled to Pan American in Montevideo, Uruguay, and that a request was made to the Deputy Ministry of Sports and it was rejected.
“Our champion, Laikel Dikona, asked the deputy ministry for support through the Protecom project, but it was rejected,” Cortero said.
In this situation, the athlete promised not to ask for support “because there is a lot of bureaucracy”, and if rejected, the price of tickets will increase.
“As a sectoral association we carry out various activities for the benefit of those who are classified, in addition to seeking the support of the family,” Cordero said.
For his part, Bolanos promised to seek the support of his family, as has happened since he started playing chess.
“As always, we will try to get tickets to represent the country at the Olympics with the support of my mother,” said the man from Potosi, who plays for Cochabamba.
Bolognese will improve his game and strive to face the best on the planet with the best experience.
Travel in doubt
Jessica Molina said she was happy to have qualified for the World Cup, but her participation was doubtful due to lack of financial resources.
“I have a classification, but I did not know I would travel without the support of the authorities. My parents could not support me because we are a big family and it is very difficult, ”lamented Molina.
He promised to “knock on the doors” of various officials to define his presence at the World Cup and gain support.
“Until the first week of June, I will define whether I can travel to India, everything depends on the response I get,” Molina concluded.

Rookie Class Making Strong First Impression on Pete Carroll, Seahawks
While few true football activities happen on practice fields in May, OTAs remain a key component of an NFL offseason, especially for incoming rookies. Less than a month after being drafted, Seattle's latest crop of first-year players has gotten off to an encouraging start.
RENTON, WA - The Seahawks' incoming 2022 draft class hasn't even been part of the team for a month. But all in all, the nine-player group has hit the ground running with the final phase of the offseason program starting on Monday.
Taking the field with veterans for the first time to partake in the latest step before their initial training camp opens in July, as is the case every year, coach Pete Carroll and his staff were curious to see how Seattle's latest crop of rookies stacked up. While it was just one non-padded "fake football" practice, so far, the group as a whole has left a strong first impression in a brief period of time.
"Really, that is the first thing that we have to do, is to figure out where they are," Carroll told reporters after Monday's session. "However, they’ve been with us enough and they just had a section out here of about 15 plays or something. They can run a ton of the offense already, and the defense, so the guys have come along."
Rookies entering the NFL have little time to prepare before being thrown to the wolves. Shortly after being drafted, they are already on the practice field participating in rookie minicamp and in the classroom trying to learn a playbook in quick order. The process can be a blur for many players and each organization handles the acclimation period a bit differently.
But while players such as first-round pick Charles Cross and second-round pick Boye Mafe won't truly be tested until the bullets start flying for real in August, Seattle's latest batch of rookies hasn't been fazed by anything thus far. As Carroll noted on Monday, his assistants have done an excellent job instructing and getting their new players up to speed, setting them up for a successful first offseason.
"It is really a statement about the teaching, we’ve done a nice job, the coaches have really been on it to get these guys prepared and learning," Carroll said.
Since the Seahawks don't conduct 11-on-11 drills during OTA practices due to strict contact prohibitions, trying to evaluate players this time of year can be a futile task.
When second-round pick Ken Walker III takes a handoff out of the backfield, he isn't going to be tackled or even wrapped up. Along the offensive line, Cross and third-round pick Abraham Lucas will be drive blocking pads, not defensive ends. The same can be said for Mafe and fifth-round pick Tyreke Smith, who won't be taking any full speed reps against offensive linemen and will work near-exclusively against sleds and dummies.
If there are players who benefit more from these sessions with so many restrictions, seventh-round picks Bo Melton and Dareke Young should have ample opportunities to make plays in the passing game during 7-on-7 drills, especially with star DK Metcalf not in attendance. But even for them, playing against cornerbacks such as fellow rookies Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen who can't play press coverage and are discouraged from making plays on the football sullies the evaluation process.
Again, this isn't real football and Carroll emphasized that on numerous occasions during his press conference on Monday. There are clear limitations put in place by the league and the Seahawks do their best to maximize on what they are allowed to do this time of year in a controlled environment.
Still, these quick-hitting practice sessions in May and June remain invaluable for rookies adjusting to playing at the highest level. Mental reps are just as important as physical ones and over the next few weeks, Carroll hopes to see Cross, Mafe, and the rest of Seattle's first-year players continue to learn play calls, sharpen their technique, and stay healthy building up to the start of camp in late July.
"They are working hard at it, so I have no complaints at all. We are moving, we can see a lot of stuff, we’ll be able to see guys in situations, and we will be doing a lot of down and distance situations just to get the looks we need, so everything is moving along fine.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2613884527402/rookie-class-making-strong-first-impression-on-pete-carroll-seahawks | 2022-05-30T20:35:25Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2613884527402/rookie-class-making-strong-first-impression-on-pete-carroll-seahawks | false | 2 |

Russian troops pushed farther into a key eastern Ukrainian city and fought street by street with Kyiv’s forces Monday in a battle the mayor said has left the city in ruins and driven tens of thousands of people from their homes.
Military analysts painted the fight for Sievierodonetsk as part of a race against time for the Kremlin. The city is key to Russian efforts to complete the capture of the eastern industrial region of the Donbas quickly — before more Western arms arrive to bolster Ukraine’s defense.
Weapons from the West have already helped Kyiv’s forces thwart a Russian advance on the capital in the early weeks of the war. That failure forced Moscow to withdraw, regroup, and pursue the more limited objective of seizing the Donbas, where Moscow-backed separatists already held swaths of territory and have been fighting Ukrainian troops for eight years.
“The Kremlin has reckoned that it can’t afford to waste time and should use the last chance to extend the separatist-controlled territory because the arrival of Western weapons in Ukraine could make it impossible,” Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov said.
But in a potential setback for Ukraine, President Joe Biden appeared to dismiss reports that the U.S. was considering sending long-range rocket systems to the country.
The Russian focus on Sievierodonetsk has already left the city “completely ruined,” Mayor Oleksandr Striuk said. Artillery barrages have destroyed critical infrastructure and damaged 90% of the buildings, and power and communications have been largely cut to a city that was once home to 100,000 people.
“The number of victims is rising every hour, but we are unable to count the dead and the wounded amid the street fighting,” Striuk told The Associated Press in a phone interview, adding that Moscow’s troops advanced a few more blocks toward the city center.
He said that only about 12,000 to 13,000 residents remain, sheltering in basements and bunkers to escape the Russian bombardment — a situation that recalls the siege of Mariupol that trapped residents and led to some of the worst suffering of the war.
Striuk estimated that 1,500 civilians have died in his city since the war began, from Russian attacks as well as from the dire conditions, including a lack of medicine or medical treatment. More than 20,000 are feared dead in Mariupol.
A 32-year-old French journalist, Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff, died Monday near Sievierodonetsk when he was hit by shrapnel from shelling while covering Ukrainians evacuating the area, according to his employer, French broadcaster BFM TV.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military said Russian forces reinforced their positions on the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Sievierodonetsk, 145 kilometers (90 miles) south of the Russian border in an area that is the last pocket of Ukrainian government control in Luhansk.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the Russians were also pushing toward nearby Lysychansk. In addition to the journalist, two civilians were killed and another five were wounded in the latest Russian shelling, he said.
The Russian advance in Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk on either side of the strategically important Siverskiy Donetsk River is part of an all-out push, Zhdanov said.
The intensity of the latest fighting and the fact that Russia has poured troops in from their far east have come as a surprise to the Ukrainians, who are trying to hold out until more weapons can arrive, Zhdanov said.
“The Ukrainian army can’t afford losing as many soldiers as the Russians,” Zhdanov said. “The Ukrainians hope that Russia will run out of steam soon.”
The Russians are taking advantage of the slow delivery of additional weapons and make up for difficulties its forces had early in the war, said Mykola Sunhurovskyi, a military expert at the Kyiv-based Razumkov Center think tank.
“Russia clearly has been trying to take revenge for its past failures in Ukraine and achieve at least some of its goals,” Sunhurovskyi said.
On Monday, Biden told reporters outside the White House that there are no plans for the U.S. to send long-range rocket systems to Ukraine, amid reports that the move is being considered.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, said that was a “reasonable” decision.
Breaking News Alerts
He said that “otherwise, if our cities come under attack, the Russian armed forces would fulfill their threat and strike the centers where such criminal decisions are made.”
Medvedev added that “some of them aren’t in Kyiv.”
Russian pressure also continued in the south on Monday. Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said an artillery strike on a shipyard in the southern port of Mykolaiv destroyed Ukrainian armored vehicles parked there.
In the Kherson region, the Russia-installed deputy head of the regional administration, Kirill Stremousov, told Russia’s Tass state news agency that grain from last year’s harvest is being delivered to Russian buyers, adding that “obviously there is a lot of grain here.” Ukraine has accused Russia of looting grain from territories its forces hold, and the U.S. has alleged Moscow is jeopardizing global food supplies by preventing Ukraine from exporting its harvest.
Russia, meanwhile, has pressed the West to lift sanctions against it as it seeks to shift the blame for the growing food crisis — which has led to skyrocketing prices in Africa.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged France not to succumb to such “blackmail” at a meeting Monday with French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.
Zelenskyy has urged the European Union to in fact ramp up its sanctions against Russia, especially on its lucrative energy sector. He was set to address a gathering of EU leaders that is wrestling with whether to target Russian oil in a new set of sanctions. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-russia-ukraine-eastern-city-20220530-am2moz3y3fahrprqilexzqhtpu-story.html | 2022-05-30T20:39:37Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-russia-ukraine-eastern-city-20220530-am2moz3y3fahrprqilexzqhtpu-story.html | false | 20 |

A CLEVER fashionista shared her trick for turning a bargain Zara tote into her own custom "Prada" bag – for nearly $1,500 less.
Bella Gerard has been obsessed with a raffia Prada tote, but now she figured out how to get the same style, Prada logo and all, for a bargain – and it's not a knockoff.
New York City-based fashion editor Bella has been lusting after Prada's beachy raffia tote bags since last summer, when they were priced at $1,650 each – but she "couldn't justify the price."
This year, the designer brought the style back, but now for a whopping $1,790.
"When they brought it back this year, I was really stressed because I was like, am I going to buy this? I hate myself," she said.
Instead, she picked up a pink and orange raffia beach bag from Zara for just $35.90 – and added a twist.

"I think it's great on its own, I love the colors, but then I remembered that I bought this little brooch from Prada for my birthday," she said.
Prada sells the enameled triangle pins with Saffiano trim in green, black, orange, and yellow for $295 each.
"I put it on, and holy c**p. I literally think this looks so good, I just can't decide which spot I prefer [the brooch] in," Bella said.
In total, her Zara bag and Prada pin cost $330.90 – $1,459.10 less than the Prada bag she was eyeing.

"I guess I could've bought a knockoff but that's not my thing, and this is something only I have. I think it's really fun and unique, and kind of a nod to the bag I have a little crush on," she said.
The fashion fan also bought an H&M bag in a neutral straw color and tried the pin on that, too.
"It’s not even about faking anyone out," she said. "I’d be thrilled to tell someone how much money I saved."
Commenters have called her bag hack "awesome," "creative," "genius," and "such a good idea."
"Oooh you just really did something because I'm about to put my Chanel brooch on mine!" wrote one.
"I like your version better than the original!" gushed another TikTok admirer.
This week, Neil Shankar, a 25-year-old TikTok user from Berkeley, California, shared bits of Bella's video on his own page, calling it an "infinite Prada bag hack."
"The luxury brand playbook is to throw your logo on something and to upcharge for it, but Prada is now just selling their logo," he said.
"They're basically saying, if you want to be a Prada girlie, the buy-in is $300 bucks," he added, with his video earning three quarters of a million views in just three days.

Spotrac’s Keith Smith mentioned in both his recent article and on a recent podcast that he thinks Oklahoma City Thunder guard Lu Dort could potentially get his $1.9 million team option declined so that the team could sign him onto a long-term deal without the risk of losing him as a restricted free agent.
Buy Thunder Tickets“This guy is the key for declining and re-signing. You cannot — under any circumstances — let him hit unrestricted free agency. You’ll end up paying him way more money than you want to because some other team will jump in. Could one of the cap space teams throw an offer sheet at Lu Dort? Yeah, maybe but probably not so much of a one that the Thunder are really gonna blink at it. So yeah, he’ll be back. My guess is what we hear here is he gets his option declined, they make him a restricted free agent and then this is one of the earlier deals we find detail like: ‘Thunder and Lu Dort have agreed to four-years, $60 million contract,’ or something like that.”
Dort, who has blossomed into one of the team’s best players with his defense and willingness to shoot the ball, has outperformed his current contract and will look for a big payday either this summer or next summer.
During his exit interview, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said he wasn’t sweating on making contract decisions on guys like Dort and Darius Bazley as the team is looking at the team from a grand scheme of things perspective.
“That stuff is like ground cover compared to the things that — when you’re at the stage where we are, like you said, going into our second draft, we reposition the team financially on and off the floor, but the thing that really shapes everything in every sport is what are the rules that are governing the CBA essentially,” said Presti.
The Thunder will need to decide on Dort’s team option by June 29, six days after the 2022 NBA draft. | https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/2022/05/30/keith-smith-thinks-the-thunder-and-lu-dort-will-work-out-a-long-term-deal-this-offseason/ | 2022-05-30T21:00:55Z | https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/2022/05/30/keith-smith-thinks-the-thunder-and-lu-dort-will-work-out-a-long-term-deal-this-offseason/ | false | 1 |

HAVANA (Reuters) - Two leading Cuban artist-dissidents faced their first day of trial on Monday after being detained nearly a year ago, part of an ongoing judicial process that human rights groups have called a "farce" and a "circus".
The activists, Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara and Maykel Castillo, are prominent members of the Havana-based San Isidro Movement, an artists collective that led several protests before many of the group left Cuba, alleging repression.
Otero Alcantara is accused of defaming the national flag, contempt and public disorder, and faces 7 years in jail, according to a March 8 court filing obtained by Reuters; Castillo, a rapper also known as Osorbo, has also been charged with assault and faces 10 years, the court document shows.
Both Otero Alcantara and Castillo appeared in the music video for ´Patria y Vida,´ a defiant hip-hop song that became the unofficial "anthem" for widespread anti-government protests last July 11, believed to be the largest since Fidel Castro´s 1959 revolution.
On Monday, police and security forces surrounded the courthouse in Havana from early in the morning. A small group of family was allowed access to the courthouse, an official from Cuba´s International Press Center told Reuters.
Representatives from the Havana embassies of several European countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Norway and Sweden stood huddled a block from the courthouse awaiting access for nearly two hours after asking to enter and observe the proceedings.
"We were not authorized to enter the courthouse," said a representative of the German embassy before departing. The representative asked not to be named and declined to say why the group had been denied access to the courthouse.
"We want human rights to be respected in all places and countries," the diplomat said.
The Cuban government did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the trials, or say why access to the courthouse was restricted.
Cuban state media, including the ruling Communist Party newspaper Granma, have called Castillo and Otero Alcantara's San Isidro Movement part of a U.S.-directed "soft coup" attempt, charges they deny.
The cases of the two men have become a lightning rod for activists and human rights groups, who allege Cuba has ramped up repression in the wake of the protests last July.
Human Rights Watch last week called the trials of Otero Alcantara and Castillo a "farce" on social media, while Amnesty International called them a "circus."
Cuba has said those detained before and after the July 11 protests have received fair trials, in accordance with Cuban law.
The streets outside the courthouse were otherwise quiet throughout the day. Several activists and friends of the men alleged on social media that they were under watch by state security and had been prohibited from leaving their homes.
Maritza Herrera, 66, said she came to show her support for her friends Otero Alcantara and Castillo. She said others had been prevented from doing so, or did not dare.
"They know that if they arrive here, they will be put in a patrol car and taken away to a {police} station. That´s why they're not here," she said.

DALLAS (AP) — Jeff Gladney, a defensive back for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, died Monday in a car crash in Dallas. He was 25.
Gladney's death was confirmed by the Cardinals and his agent.
“We are devastated to learn of Jeff Gladney's passing. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and all who are mourning this tremendous loss,” the team said.
The crash occurred on the service road of Woodall Rodgers Freeway in Dallas, KTVT-TV reported. Another person also died.
The Dallas County sheriff's department said no one was available on the Memorial Day holiday to talk about the crash.
Gladney played at TCU before becoming a 2020 first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings. He played in 16 games that year but was released before the 2021 season, when he was charged with assaulting a woman.
Gladney was found not guilty in Dallas County, Texas, in March and was subsequently signed by the Cardinals. He participated in team drills last week.
“We are asking prayers for the family and privacy at this most difficult time,” agent Brian Overstreet said.
The NFL said Gladney's death was a “tragic loss.” | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Arizona-Cardinals-defensive-back-Jeff-Gladney-17208188.php | 2022-05-30T21:03:57Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Arizona-Cardinals-defensive-back-Jeff-Gladney-17208188.php | false | 38 |
Dear Stranger, a letter-exchange project from Oregon Humanities, offers a chance for a connection by inviting Oregonians to write letters with someone they’ve never met.
“In good times, bad and everything in between, sometimes it’s hardest to share our innermost thoughts with those closest to us,” says Lucy Solares-Steger, a program assistant who runs the Dear Stranger project at Oregon Humanities.
“Dear Stranger offers a chance to share a fresh perspective with a stranger in the world and receive one in return. It provides an opportunity to reach out and find community, listen to one another and learn from each other.”
The aim of Dear Stranger is to create shared understanding among Oregonians with different backgrounds, experiences and beliefs. The premise is simple: write a letter, get a letter and make a new connection.
Oregon Humanities has operated Dear Stranger since 2014, with each round of the project asking writers to address a different question or theme. In the most recent round this past winter, 69 people from 28 communities across Oregon exchanged letters.
This spring’s prompt for writers is about care: “What do you care about and why? Who do you care for and who cares for you? Does this feel like a choice or a given? Where do you see care and where do you notice its absence?”
Prompts for writing and instructions for participation are available on the Oregon Humanities website, oregonhumanities.org. Letters are swapped anonymously and each person receives a letter from the person who received the one they wrote. What happens next is up to the writers.
Letters should be addressed to Oregon Humanities, Attn: Dear Stranger, 610 SW St., Suite 1111, Portland, OR 97205. Oregon Humanities will exchange letters mailed by June 30, 2022.
Questions can be directed to programs@oregonhumanities.org. | https://www.southeastexaminer.com/2022/05/write-a-letter-make-a-connection/ | 2022-05-30T21:06:51Z | https://www.southeastexaminer.com/2022/05/write-a-letter-make-a-connection/ | true | 6 |
For 60 years, Ted Sams regretted missing his high school graduation. Now 78 years old, Sams can finally call himself a graduate after donning a cap and gown and receiving his diploma on Friday with the class of 2022 at Southern California's San Gabriel High School.
Back in 1962 when he was a high school senior, Sams was suspended days before the end of the school year. He says he made up an exam over the summer but wasn't allowed to get the diploma because of an unpaid $4.80 book fine. The school had his original diploma in a filing cabinet. He plans to hang it on a wall at home.
“Over the years, I complained to my kids a number of times about how $4.80 kept me from having my diploma,” he said. | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/california-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-decades-later | 2022-05-30T21:06:55Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/california-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-decades-later | true | null |

Remote or hybrid work has become a permanent fixture for many of us, but anyone who has suffered Zoom fatigue knows that today’s digital collaboration platforms have ample room for improvement.
The recent emergence of the concept of the ‘metaverse’ – a vision for the future of the web in which 3D virtual environments are linked together – has renewed interest in using virtual reality for collaboration.
There are some reasons to believe this might be more than just a gimmick, but widespread adoption is at least ten years away, experts say.
Metaverse collaboration: an end to Zoom fatigue?
Even before the pandemic, meetings were a sore spot for employees. In 2018, a survey of 2,000 workers found that they spent, on average, the equivalent of 23 days a year in meetings, the majority of which are unproductive.
During lockdown, the phenomenon known as ‘Zoom fatigue’ added to the misery of meetings. Last year, researchers at Stanford University identified four ways in which video conferences can be exhausting: they require excessive amounts of eye contact; looking at a picture of yourself is tiring; they restrict mobility and demand a high degree of concentration compared with face-to-face meetings.
A survey by web development agency Virtira found that 49% of workers experience a “high degree of exhaustion” from being required to be on camera during meetings.
Online meetings need to change, argues Tuong Nguyen, senior principal analyst in immersive technology at Gartner. “I have these meetings all day long,” he explains. “All I see is a grid of faces or names or icons or whatever people choose – they’re all disembodied voices. I don’t remember any of the meetings because they’re all the same to me.”
In-person meetings naturally have more stimuli, he continues. “I can say, ‘Claudia sat on my left on this meeting, and then we had another meeting at noon and she sat on my right. And then at the 3pm meeting she was actually presenting, and she was pacing a lot. Maybe she was nervous’,” he explains. “So now I remember them as distinct scenarios.”
Can meetings in the metaverse recreate this more engaging experience? Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thinks so. Last year, Meta – Facebook’s parent company – launched Horizon Workrooms, a collaboration application for its Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.
“Workrooms is a virtual meeting space where you and your colleagues can work better together from anywhere,” the company said. “You can join a meeting in VR as an avatar or dial into the virtual room from your computer by video call. You can use a huge virtual whiteboard to sketch out ideas together, bring your computer and keyboard into VR to work together with others, or just have expressive conversations that feel more like you’re together in person.”
Spatial audio for virtual reality meetings
The visual interface of these systems – in which colleagues are represented as 3D avatars is perhaps their defining characteristic – but Zuckerberg argues that the use of ‘spatial audio’, in which sound is manipulated to provide the sense of a 3D space, is one the most significant improvements on traditional online meetings.
“If someone’s talking from over there, it sounds like it’s talking from over there,” he said in an interview last year. “You can see the arm gestures and stuff, which feels more natural.”
Nguyen agrees. “With spatial audio, you can lean over to me, you can say something. Maybe this person hears us, can lean over, and join that conversation,” he says.
Reviews of Horizon Workrooms, which is still in beta, seem largely positive – “I say without hyperbole or exaggeration that our minds were blown,” says one – but these are mostly based on the experience of individual users or teams, not organisation-wide deployments.
And not everyone is convinced of the need for virtual meetings to be represented in 3D. “For most meetings I personally don’t care having the sensation of having met that person,” wrote VR blogger The Ghost Howls in their review. “I just want to [get] the job done.”
Working with 3D models
That changes, however, when the focus of the meeting is something – such as a product design, or architectural plans – that can be represented in 3D. In this case, virtual reality collaboration could be much more effective than a video conference, says Eve Weston, a writer and consultant on metaverse user experiences.
“When you’re together in VR, you can do things that may not be easy to do on a Zoom screen,” she explains. “If you’re architects or designers, somebody could be in New York, the other person could be in London, but the space that you’re decorating could be in Singapore.”
“You could walk around the room together and make decisions and comment on things in real time,” Weston says. “Not having to send swatches or share screens, just being in the place.”
Nguyen adds that 3D virtual meetings could accelerate the feedback process for visual designs – often tortuous over email or Zoom. “In the VR example, we take turns, it’s synchronous, it’s in parallel. It happens all at once, very much like an in-person meeting.”
Whatever its potential as a platform for collaboration, even the metaverse’s most high-profile booster acknowledges that there are technical limitations to be overcome. The visual fidelity of VR avatars is not yet up to the standard of video calls, Zuckerberg admitted in an interview – “but I think it’ll get there over the next few years”.
Weston contends that the absence of a sense of touch in 3D virtual environments means that typing or drawing might feel uncanny for many users. “We’re used the haptic feedback of the keyboard,” she explains.
Furthermore, some virtual reality users report a feeling a nausea or fatigue – known as VR sickness – after prolonged use. This suggests that swapping Zoom calls for VR hangouts would not alleviate the discomfort of multiple online meetings.
For these reasons, collaboration in 3D virtual environments is unlikely to become a mainstay of business life in the near future. “For the next ten years, this sort of vision will be more complimentary rather than replacing or displacing other forms of work,” Nguyen predicts.
That prediction might be familiar to anyone who has tracked the development of virtual reality in recent years. “That’s the in-joke of VR,” says Spike Laurie, partner at immersive content venture capital firm Hiro Capital. “It’s always been ten years away.” | https://newslanes.com/2022/05/30/working-in-the-metaverse-why-3d-virtual-collaboration-is-still-ten-years-away/ | 2022-05-30T21:12:35Z | https://newslanes.com/2022/05/30/working-in-the-metaverse-why-3d-virtual-collaboration-is-still-ten-years-away/ | false | 1 |
One man is facing a charge of assault following an alleged homophobic beating in Nanaimo that left a Vancouver Island University student with injuries earlier this year.
Spencer Frey, a VIU interior design student, suffered facial bruises and a possible fracture to his left cheek after he was allegedly punched a number of times by several assailants at a house party in north Nanaimo in March.
