After retiring from full-time teaching, I began volunteering at our local hospice, where monthly training furthered our expertise working with older populations. One such training was called the Virtual Dementia Tour, a replication of the dementia experience for those of us with minds still intact. Having had, years earlier, a front-row seat to my mom’s dementia, I questioned how they could simulate this. I scoffed. But I RSVP’d, yes, I would attend.
We were told to arrive on a staggered schedule, a trio of us every 20 minutes. We completed a short questionnaire: Do you feel capable of carrying out simple tasks? Yes. In the last 10 minutes, have you found yourself pacing? Having negative thoughts? Talking to yourself? Searching for items? No, no, no, and no.
“Pointy side up,” said the woman leading the experience, handing me plastic insoles to put in my shoes.
“Ow!” I said. “Which part of dementia is this?”
“Neuropathy — nerve pain,” she explained.
Then she gave me special dark glasses, headphones, one big and awkward glove for my dominant hand, and a less awkward glove for the non-dominant hand. She put into my pocket a small device containing the soundtrack for my headphones, and then she walked me a short distance to the room.
A cacophony of background noise
Had she not been guiding me by the arm, I would have bumped into walls. I could only see through the top of the dark glasses. Every single step hurt. I wanted to sit down right there and take out the thorny insoles. So quickly, I was ready to surrender.
Inside the room, things got worse. It was under-lit, cluttered, claustrophobic. Another volunteer/test subject was bumbling about the limited space. In one corner, a man sat in a chair, taking notes. My guide fired off a list of instructions, very little of which I heard. I had not been paying close attention and had no warning that she was about to say something important.
The headset was feeding me a constant cacophony of background noise — radio announcer, static, other people’s conversations, a loudly ringing phone, a distant siren.
As the other volunteer was led out, a phone rang again in my headset. Is this part of the test? Am I supposed to find a phone and answer it? I stood still, feeling conspicuous. The man watched. The soles of my feet screamed.
One instruction I remembered: “Find a jacket and put it on.” I pulled a down jacket out of the closet and forced my awkwardly-large, gloved hands into the sleeves. In my headset, a door slammed, and I jumped.
There had been an instruction to set the table for four, but the only table was a rolling hospital tray, too small. On it were a plate, silverware, napkin and cup — and I put them in the correct positions, but this was setting a table for one.
Tasks felt impossible
Were some of the tasks intentionally impossible? Does every task feel impossible to those with dementia? Are all instructions delivered too rapidly, and obscured by background noise? My mother, whenever we were together, had repeatedly asked me to slow down.
I vocalized my doubt: “Set the table for four?”
The man in the corner was unresponsive. Needles poked into the bottoms of my feet.
Onward. There had been something about changing batteries. I saw two D-sized batteries strewn among other artifacts on the bedside table. But no flashlight.
“Batteries,” I said, “but nowhere to put them?” I wanted us to laugh together at the absurdity of it all, but he was clearly not on my team.
Anticipating the next volunteer to come through, I asked, “Should I take this coat off now so it’s in the closet for the next person?” Silence. This was a reasonable question! When he didn’t answer, even knowing that he’d been instructed not to, I felt discounted and invisible.
When the door opened and another volunteer was led in, I took off the coat, as the guide barked instructions.
“I couldn’t hear you,” the new recruit shouted. “Can you repeat?” But the woman ignored her, took my arm, and led me into the hall, where she collected the glasses, headset, gloves, and torturous insoles.
“Good riddance,” I said.
“That was only five minutes,” she said. “A short version because it’s a big group. Typically, you’re in there for 12 minutes.”

Responses to the experience
In the “After” room, the participants expressed their outrage:
- “After she left and shut the door, I felt immediate paranoia.”
- “I was just so frustrated! She wouldn’t repeat the instructions!”
- “I was determined to ace this and felt defeated. I realized we’d been set up to fail.”
- “I felt angry!”
Paranoid, frustrated, defeated, angry: pretty much my mom during her eight years of dementia.
Then they gave us our questionnaires back, with the notes the silent guy had taken:
- Mumbling to herself
- Talking very loudly in the middle of the room
- Appears very uncomfortable
Empathy for my mother’s suffering
I left that day most surprised by how effective the training was. Each of the “reverse accommodations” tamper with or hamper one of the five senses.
The glasses simulate varieties of age-related vision disturbance, including macular degeneration. The headset creates typical background noise of an assisted living facility, but also random noise generated by a dying brain, which contributes to an inability to distinguish between sounds we are meant to pay attention to (such as a tea kettle whistling) and sounds we need not heed (another resident’s phone ringing). The awkward gloves affect dexterity and coordination.

Not every person with dementia has every symptom, but the training gives you as many as possible. Totally fair. After all, we still had our brains, the knowledge that this was a test, the ability to analyze the experience, and, most important, after five miserable minutes, the freedom to leave the room.
I wish my mom could’ve left that room.
I’d never had trouble imagining the horror of having your brain betray you. I believed my mother had every reason to be cranky. But it wasn’t till I felt dementia, experienced for five minutes confusion, helplessness, frustration, invisibility and pain, that I could truly empathize.
Sadly, it was too late for me and my mom. I did the tour 10 years after she died.
Over three million people in 20 countries have experienced the tour, yet I had never heard of it.
For anyone caring for someone in cognitive decline — parent, spouse, or residents of assisted living — this Virtual Dementia Tour is a game changer. You will doubt that such a condition can be simulated. You’ll scoff, like I did, too. But I guarantee you won’t be laughing after you take that walk in their shoes

SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 24, 2022, state officials approved a proposal to cut water consumption in California by 10 to 20%, which includes a total ban on watering beautiful lawns in subdivision common areas and on all commercial properties.
"We are in this unprecedented drought. We need to act like it," said Laurel Firestone a California State Water Resources Control Board member, at Tuesday's board meeting.
In the coming weeks, we will see local water companies implementing restrictions on the watering of landscaping here in California.
Outdoor irrigation accounts for 50-70 percent of household water usage in most homes across the country. It takes around 685 gallons of water each year to apply one inch of water over 1,000 square feet of lawn to maintain it green. Just maintaining a green lawn, places a tremendous strain on the local freshwater supply. What options do you have to make a difference? You can save up to 70% on your water bill by replacing your natural lawn with SYNLawn artificial grass. Switching to SYNLawn not only provides you with a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn all year, but it also helps to reduce your carbon impact.
SYNLawn is the first provider of plant-based artificial grass in southern California. Our products are environmentally responsible and offer many ways to give back to the planet. In times like these where every bit of help counts, it is our responsibility to provide the alternatives that will benefit the environment. Without the need to keep up on weekly maintenance, you'll save time and thousands of gallons of water while enjoying the most-realistic appearances and behaviors provided by San Diego artificial turf. Our products will not fade in harsh sunlight and are backed by an unmatched limited lifetime warranty with financing options available. Save money on your water bill each year and do your part to help today.

Conor McGregor taunts ‘pigeon brain’ Jorge Masvidal as UFC stars trade insults
Many fans have been keen to see the pair square off in the Octagon
Conor McGregor has retaliated after Jorge Masvidal said he would set out to “kill” the Irishman in a fight between the pair.
McGregor is recovering from a broken leg sustained in his most recent bout, a loss to Dustin Poirier last summer, and the former dual-weight UFC champion’s next opponent is unknown as he targets a comeback later this year.
Masvidal, meanwhile, increased his profile greatly with a stellar 2019 in which he won three straight fights via knockout, but the American has since gone 0-3 in his last three outings. Most recently, Masvidal was outpointed comfortably by friend-turned-rival Colby Covington in March.
Masvidal was charged with felony battery later that month after an alleged assaault of Covington away from the Octagon, and “Gamebred” discussed the apparent incident with ESPN Deportes this week.
McGregor responded to Masvidal’s comments on the situation by tweeting: “An absolute pigeon brain this guy is. Stupid beyond belief.”
McGregor seemed to also be taking exception to comments that Masvidal made in the same interview, with the American having said: “[McGregor] knows that I am a man who hits hard and that I come to kill. I do not come to hug in the cage.
“I am going to give everything inside me to kill him. I have a little size, but he is still a little boy. I would love to fight at 170lbs, but I don’t wait for anyone.
“If he wants to do it, I’ll break his face. If he doesn’t want to do it, let someone come next. There are options, but the first thing that matters is me – to be in the best condition of my life, to improve.
“This year, guaranteed return. I don’t know the date yet. I think that with two fights, I can be in contention for the title or in a title contender fight.”
McGregor became the first UFC fighter to hold two titles simultaneously when he won the featherweight and lightweight belts in 2015 and 2016 respectively. He has also fought at welterweight in the UFC.
Masvidal, meanwhile, previously competed at lightweight but has fought at welterweight for some time now.

Selv om Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order handlet om jakten på og utslettelsen av de resterende Jedi, så var det fortsatt en ganske håpefull historie. Men dette fortsetter ikke nødvendigvis i oppfølgeren.
I et intervju med StarWars.com avslører oppfølgerens regissør, Stig Asmussen, at oppfølgeren kommer til å bli en del mørkere.
"Yeah, you nailed it. Right there, that's the purpose in the tone of it, is to leave the player with a lot of questions but they're very intrigued. The game is all about survival. That's why it's called Jedi: Survivor. They are in dark times, and Cal and the crew are doing whatever it takes to stay alive. That might mean that they are making connections with people that, in other times, might be considered unsavoury. Some of that is portrayed in the trailer, and again, I don't want to give anything away, but there's definitely a sense of... I don't want to spoil anything, sorry!"

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said he will step down from the 2023 race if his party so demands.
Bakare spoke on Monday with newsmen in Abuja at the venue of the screening of presidential aspirants of the APC.
On Monday, the screening committee, headed by former National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, screened former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun; former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi; Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru; and former Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba.
Others also screened were Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi; Felix Nicholas; Senator Ajayi Borroffice; former Senate President, Ken Nnamani; Uju Ken-Ohaneye; and former Governor of Zamfara State, Sani Yerima.
Bakare told newsmen: “The party supremacy is the utmost essence.
“You cannot force your way through a party’s structure.
“The party has the final say.
“And when we get to that bridge, we will know how to cross it.
“The screening exercise is to check who is guilty and who is not.
“And it depends on the people, who are doing the screening.
“By God’s grace, we have complied with everything demanded for.
“We have supplied every information.
“And every information given is accurate and there is no miscommunication anywhere.
“Therefore, we will listen to what they have to say to us.
“And we trust God for accurate answers and deserving answers to all questions.”
On her part, the only female aspirant, Ken-Ohaneye, also said she would step down if the party asked her to do so, provided the party would be willing to carry on with her economic blueprints.
She said: “I want you to know that we are a family politically, and if I am asked by the party to step down, I will not challenge the party, because, like they say, charity begins at home.
“I will never see it as a problem to my party, because I am going to respect them.
“I am going to do whatever it takes to promote my party and make them relax so that they can make a better decision.
“So, if their decision is to ask me to step down, I will not have choice than to step down.
“As long as they can carry over my blueprints on board, definitely, I will respect my party.”
Presidential aspirants to be screened on Tuesday (today) are Governor of Cross River State, Prof. Ben Ayade; President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmed Lawan; Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello; Tein Jack-Rich; former Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu; former Minister of Information, Chief Ikeobasi Mokelu; former Speaker of House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole; former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio; and former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, who is at present in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. | https://olisa.tv/bakare-says-ready-to-step-down-in-apc-primaries/ | 2022-05-31T10:03:25Z | https://olisa.tv/bakare-says-ready-to-step-down-in-apc-primaries/ | true | 2 |

TOKYO, May 31 (Reuters) - Japan's Chubu Electric Power Co Inc 9502.T said on Tuesday it will spend up to 5 billion yen ($39 million) to buy a 20% stake in India's rural renewable energy service company, OMC Power Private Ltd, through a third-party allotment of shares.
OMC operates about 280 renewable energy plants to provide electricity for telecom companies, small and medium businesses and rural houses via mini-grids, using storage batteries, in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It aims to expand its network to 5,000 power plants by 2030, the Japanese company said.
Chubu Electric aims to contribute to OMC, in which Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co 8031.T also has a stake, by leveraging its operation and maintenance skills for power generation, transmission and distribution, it said.
Last November, the utility said it plans to make strategic investments of 1 trillion yen ($7.8 billion) over the 10 years through 2030, mainly in overseas and renewable energy, to achieve its 2030 recurring profit goal of 250 billion yen.
($1 = 127.9500 yen)

Going into the 2022 football season, Aggies Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas A&M roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Jimbo Fisher this season.
Marcus Burris Jr. enters his redshirt freshman season at the defensive tackle position after continuing to recover from an Achilles injury he sustained during the 2020 season, choosing to redshirt in 2021. As I look through every defensive line profile I have written, Marcus Burris Jr. looks to be the prime breakout candidate out of the group after a successful spring, notching a sack in the Maroon and White game on April, 9th. Burris Jr. became a priority recruit for the Aggies after a stellar 2019 junior season at Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas, in which Burris recorded 92 tackles, 13 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and an interception while helping Pleasant Grove to a 15-1 record and win the Texas 4A D-II state title. During his recruitment process, his decision came down to Oklahoma for Texas A&M, ultimately choosing the Aggies and committing and singing his letter of intent on Dec. 16, 2020. Burris Jr. now has the opportunity to continue with the progress he made in the spring going into the summer.
Preseason Player Profile
Hometown: Texarkana, Texas
Height: 6-4
Weight: 285lbs
247Sports Composite Ranking
Class of 2021: 4-Star player ranking, 20th ranked player in Texas, 21st ranked defensive line prospect in the country
Depth Chart Overview
Marcus Burris Jr. is currently projected as a backup rotational defensive tackle/ 5-tech defensive end in Texas A&M’s 4-2-5 defensive scheme, led by the first-year defensive coordinator for the Aggies, D.J. Durkin. Burris Jr. will be competing for snaps against a number of true freshmen, most notably defensive ends, Anthony Lucas (Freshman) and Shemar Stewart (Freshman). Overall, Burris Jr. is very flexible from a position standpoint, playing strong side defensive end for a majority of his high school career, while expected to remain said versatility at defensive tackle defensive end in specific packages. While examining his traits, Burris Jr. is very athletic from his size, standing at 6-4, 285lbs, and has great play strength at the point of attack, consistently using his length and lateral speed in run defense, and exhibits stack and shed ability during his pass rush. During the spring game, Burris Jr. showed his potential as an inside pass rushing presence, with an elevated speed to power ability, a more powerful first punch, and increased upper body strength noticed during his bull rushes while successfuly beating his blocker in multiple reps. As he is slowly ascending as a legitimate player for the Aggies, the competition this summer will be fierce, and I know we will all be looking forward to watching Marcus Burris Jr. put in the work.

SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 24, 2022, state officials approved a proposal to cut water consumption in California by 10 to 20%, which includes a total ban on watering beautiful lawns in subdivision common areas and on all commercial properties.
"We are in this unprecedented drought. We need to act like it," said Laurel Firestone a California State Water Resources Control Board member, at Tuesday's board meeting.
In the coming weeks, we will see local water companies implementing restrictions on the watering of landscaping here in California.
Outdoor irrigation accounts for 50-70 percent of household water usage in most homes across the country. It takes around 685 gallons of water each year to apply one inch of water over 1,000 square feet of lawn to maintain it green. Just maintaining a green lawn, places a tremendous strain on the local freshwater supply. What options do you have to make a difference? You can save up to 70% on your water bill by replacing your natural lawn with SYNLawn artificial grass. Switching to SYNLawn not only provides you with a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn all year, but it also helps to reduce your carbon impact.

Our products will not fade in harsh sunlight and are backed by an unmatched limited lifetime warranty with financing options available. Save money on your water bill each year and do your part to help today.

Campaigners from the traveller will gather outside the Dail later to demand a government action plan to tackle high rates of mental health illness and suicide in the community.
The Traveller Mental Health Network, which’s organising the protest, says it expects hundreds to attend.
Studies show the suicide rate among travellers is seven times higher that those in the settled community, while eight in ten are unemployed.
Hugh Friel from the Donegal Traveller Project says not enough’s being done to support them: | https://highlandradio.com/2022/05/31/traveller-campaigners-call-for-more-mental-health-services/ | 2022-05-31T10:33:40Z | https://highlandradio.com/2022/05/31/traveller-campaigners-call-for-more-mental-health-services/ | false | null |
MIAMI, Fla. — They are the final preparations before the force of wind is unleashed.
Welcome to the Wall of Wind.
"Twelve fans, 720-horsepower each. Each weighing about 15,000 pounds,” said Erik Salna, Associate Director for Education and Outreach at the Extreme Events Institute at Florida International University. "The Wall of Wind is an amazing facility."
Located at the International Hurricane Research Center at Florida International University, researchers there use massive fans to test structures and products, in order to see how hurricane-force winds interact with them.
"Of course, you couldn't go shopping at your local home improvement store to find that. So, they did find a company in Colorado that manufactures these fans. Not for research, but their application is for underground mining operations, for air ventilation and movement," Salna said, adding "and it worked."
The fans can recreate sustained wind speeds up to 160 miles per hour, equal to a Category 5 hurricane.
In the ten years since its construction, though, researchers noticed more storms are exceeding that speed.
“It can cause like a tremendous damage and tremendous impact on a community," said Amal Elawady, an assistant professor at FIU and part of the International Hurricane Research Center.
That's why FIU and eight other universities are joining together to strengthen the Wall of Wind, so it can recreate even higher sustained wind speeds -- reaching 200 miles per hour.
Just don’t call it "Category 6."
"We use a wind scale that goes up through one through five - Category 5. And at this point, there's no plan to go to a Category 6,” Salna said. “But as we look with climate change issues and extreme events and what that might mean for hurricane seasons, there is that possibility for stronger storms."
That would call for stronger structures – and building codes – for places like homes, hospitals and schools - no matter what kind of storm winds they encounter.
"Design codes and standards are limited. We still see failures,” Elawady said. “We need to understand the causes for failures. We need to protect people's lives."
That way, people everywhere can be safer, no matter which way the wind blows.
"The lessons learned about how to harden and strengthen a structure can be carried over to extreme wind events all across the country," Salna said.
In addition to creating stronger winds, the future plans for the stronger Wall of Wind facility will also include a massive pool that will be used to simulate storm surge and inland flooding caused by storms. | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/researchers-seek-new-ways-to-test-against-stronger-hurricanes | 2022-05-31T10:35:11Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/researchers-seek-new-ways-to-test-against-stronger-hurricanes | true | 11 |

DETROIT (AP) — Carlos Correa has tested positive for COVID-19, the Minnesota Twins said after Monday’s 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
“We found out during the game,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He’s back at the hotel resting and we’ll figure out what the coming days will mean for him.”
Baldelli said the 27-year-old shortstop had not been feeling well but doesn’t have significant symptoms.
“He’s under the weather, but nothing above and beyond that,” Baldelli said. “I think resting and hydrating are the most important things for him right now.”
Monday’s game was the first in a five-game, four-day series against the Tigers.
“We’ve had some guys stay behind in cities, but there are other possible options,” Baldelli said. “We’re going to be here for a while, so no one needs to go anywhere yet.”
Correa is hitting .279 with a .751 OPS in his first season with the Twins. He left the Houston Astros after seven seasons to sign a $105.3 million, three-year contract in March, a deal that allows him to opt out after the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

BANGKOK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- From the crunchy yellow flesh of the jackfruit, that weighs as much as 25 kilograms and can be eaten fresh or cooked as a meat substitute, to the natural coconut water enjoying growing popularity due to its health benefits and innovative packaging that preserve freshness while making it easy to drink, Thailand's diversified exotic fruit exports are gaining ground among health-conscious consumers around the world, data shows.
The country's total fruit exports increased 48% in value in 2021 to some 6.2 billion U.S. dollars, making Thailand the world's 7th largest fruit exporter, according to Global Trade Atlas data.
Global consumption of fruits and fruit juices has risen in recent years due to push for a healthier diet, a trend that accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization declared 2021 the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables, calling them "dietary essentials".
Thailand's fruit output, which peaks for most varieties between March and July, also comprises the Durian, the so-called "King of Fruits" and a leading fruit export, loved around Asia for its strong smell often compared to cheese and its sweet taste; the delicately fragrant white pulp of the mangosteen, or "Queen of Fruits", which resembles a little present in it's dark purple shell; the dozens varieties of Mangoes eaten ripe or unripe; the Longan with its grape-like white flesh and a hint of musk in the flavour; and the Tamarind, enjoyed dry as a snack for its sweet and sour flesh, rich in essential nutrients, and digestive qualities, or used as the magic main ingredient in the famous Pad Thai noodles.
"Our policy has been to inform Japanese consumers about the variety of fruits Thailand offers," said Pimjai Matsumoto, Managing Director of P.K. Siam Co., Ltd., one of the leading Thai fruit importers in Japan. "We started years ago with one type of mangoes, and over the years we added more mangoes, and now other Thai fruits, such as our coconuts, durian, mangosteen, pomelo, and tamarind. Tamarind is doing very well this year and its now available in many department stores."
While fresh fruits represent the largest share of Thailand's fruit exports, with Asia as the main market, the country also exports worldwide canned fruits, frozen fruits, ice creams, dried fruits, and drinks, such as pineapple, mango, guava, and orange juice, as well as coconut water. Thailand was the eighth largest global exporter of fruit juice in 2021, with exports worth 630 million dollars, up 13% from the previous year.
The market in the United States and European countries has seen higher demand for organic fruit juices, and a rising popularity for other healthy features, such as low sugar and low calories, or the addition of healthy substances including vitamin and prebiotic.

During the last few years we have become exposed to and utilize social media and varying platforms.
They serve a genuine purpose – such as keeping in touch with friends, family, old classmates and for emergency purposes. To a lesser extent, they also serve some purposes which are, important ... ahem, like where/what I ate, where I’m traveling (feast for a thief), etc.
Completely unacceptable purposes are centered in the spew of hate, belligerent opinion, defamatory comments and utterances that one would probably never make face to face. However, behind the screen it’s become the norm.
These unacceptable purposes have proven an old American adage needs restated. That old adage was: “Opinions are like the southernmost bodily orifice, everybody has one.”
Today, all-access social media proves it should be modified to: “Opinions differing from mine are only held by people that are the southernmost bodily orifice.” Suffice to say, for all the unacceptable purposes, I remain away from social media and platforms.
A critical item that social media and its various delivery sources has proven is that the American education system has apparently failed. There once existed the “3 R’s of education” which are: reading, writing and arithmetic (I know it’s not really 3 R’s–Google it).
Social media and the capacity to deliver almost anything in written form, has proven that two of the three (reading and writing) were somehow electives or completely missed in the formative years of some spouting wisdom. One need only search a Facebook account of someone/something that may be the current “hot issue of the last five seconds” to obtain proof of the failed education system.
Scroll through the comments/opinions and one will find they are generally laced with abhorrent grammar, spelling and otherwise disjointed thoughts, which are certain to make English teachers cringe or have them rolling over in their graves.
Scrolling through also proves my new American adage regarding “opinions” is correct. After the above, you might say “why should I care?” Outside of the obvious dim light it shines upon the writer, it’s worth remembering that employers (current/future), human resource departments and a number of other entities research social media activity. So, yes it could jeopardize a current or future position.
In summary, before even thinking about posting, ask yourself “will it serve any real purpose or is it just a release valve?” If it’s a release valve, stop! If it’s not, please consult a dictionary, Google or a smart third-grader that understands the 3 R’s. It will serve you and the general public, well. | https://www.jonesborosun.com/opinion/social-media-proves-education-has-failed/article_4268717d-7f59-50fc-bd60-99c60eb16446.html | 2022-05-31T10:58:34Z | https://www.jonesborosun.com/opinion/social-media-proves-education-has-failed/article_4268717d-7f59-50fc-bd60-99c60eb16446.html | true | 1 |
Henry Jones felt like he was at the end of the line in the summer of 1991.
"There was no way out," he remembered thinking. "I prayed and was tired, but I couldn't see no way out."
Jones had been homeless in Washington, DC for 11 years, and the years had taken their toll. "I started to get sicker and sicker," he said. "I could feel my health failing."
One hot morning in June, Jones was in particularly rough shape — his legs ached, his stomach hurt, and his arms were trembling. A security guard had to give him a ride from the hospital parking lot to the ER because he could barely stand.
The hospital wouldn't admit him, but a social worker referred him to a place called Christ House, a facility for homeless men who were too sick to be on the streets or in a shelter, but not sick enough to require hospital-level care.
Today, there are a growing number of programs like Christ House that provide short-term medical care for homeless people, known as medical respite or recuperative care. The growth is fueled in part by a push from state Medicaid programs to provide support to patients to prevent avoidable health care use, like emergency room visits.
"We saw sick homeless persons getting worse and worse who were out on the street," said Dr. Janelle Goetcheus, who started the 34-bed facility in 1985. "So we just wanted to have a place where they could come and be cared for."
By the time Henry Jones arrived in 1991, Christ House was admitting more than 300 people a year.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Jones said, remembering his first day. "I was sleeping in a nice, clean bed. I was getting some good food to eat. The nurses and the doctors, they were so concerned. They just wanted me to get better, and I could see that."
Medical respite on the rise
Christ House was one of the first medical respite centers, and it's now one of 133 programs spread across 37 states and Washington D.C. They all offer homeless people a safe place to recover from surgery or other acute illness, learn to manage a chronic condition and get help finding permanent housing.
But the programs are unregulated and unlicensed, and they often look incredibly different from one another, according to Julia Dobbins, the director of medical respite for the National Health Care for the Homeless Council.
The most common setting is a homeless shelter — a few beds or a room set aside with a nurse coming by to check in once a day. Others, like Christ House, have their own building and include full-service kitchens, social spaces, exam rooms and round-the-clock medical care.
In the last seven years, the number of medical respite homes has more than doubled, driven by multiple factors.
First, the number of homeless people grew every year from 2016 to 2020, topping out at nearly 600,000. The homeless population is also getting older and sicker. Research shows homeless people in their 50s are in worse health than folks in their 70s who have a place to live, and half of homeless adults are over 50.
At the same time, doctors, health care executives, and state and federal policymakers have begun to accept that non-medical factors like housing impact people's well-being and that the health care industry should do something about it — like medical respite.
Private Medicaid plans fuel growth
Maybe the most surprising driver of medical respite's growth is interest from managed care organizations — the private insurance companies that cover 7 in 10 people on Medicaid.
Most medical respite programs have multiple funding sources. Hospitals, philanthropies, and state and local governments have historically been the most common, but about 1 in 3 programs now receive some funding from Medicaid plans.
Dobbins said this started when the Affordable Care Act allowed 38 states and Washington D.C. to expand Medicaid to low-income adults with no children, bringing thousands of previously ineligible homeless individuals onto Medicaid.
Many state Medicaid programs are simultaneously pressuring managed care organizations to cut expensive avoidable care, pushing more insurers to consider medical respite.
One example is AmeriHealth Caritas DC, one of three managed care plans in Washington D.C. In 2016, Washington's Medicaid program started docking insurers' pay if they failed to reduce hospital readmissions and unnecessary emergency room visits.
AmeriHealth estimated it provided Medicaid benefits to around 3,500 homeless people, and some of them used the hospital and ER a lot. The company ran the numbers and was persuaded medical respite could improve people's health, help the business avoid financial penalties, and save up to $200,000 a year.
From there, they partnered with other local organizations to launch Hope Has a Home, two new eight-bed medical respite facilities that opened in 2019 and have served 62 homeless men so far.
"I thank God for this place," said Wayne Gaddis, a 58-year-old who came to Hope Has a Home after undergoing spinal surgery. "If I wasn't here, I would have been on the streets, probably back on drugs, killing myself slowly, not taking my medication, not caring because I feel no one else did care. But this place, it gives me new hope. A new life."
The need for more evidence
There have been around 20 peer-reviewed articles on medical respite, which Dobbins of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and her team recently reviewed. That research strongly suggests people who use medical respite spend less time in the hospital, are less likely to be readmitted to the hospital, and are more likely to use primary care.
But much of the existing evidence has been self-published by medical respite programs, and no one has conducted a rigorous randomized controlled trial in the U.S.
"Unfortunately, there's not as much literature in the field as we wish there was," said Dobbins.
And there's even less evidence on whether medical respite is likely to save insurers money.
Paying a few hundred dollars a day to send someone to medical respite is certainly cheaper than paying thousands of dollars a night for them to stay in the hospital. But it can also extend someone's life and uncover chronic conditions that will need years of management.
"We cannot underestimate how sick [homeless] folks are," Dobbins said.
Case in point, AmeriHealth Caritas DC says the first 11 people they sent to Hope Has A Home went to the ER less. But their primary care visits skyrocketed, helping send total costs of care up 75%.
It's just a small sample, and AmeriHealth remains committed to medical respite with plans to launch two facilities for homeless women next year.
"Everything we do might not necessarily have a cost savings," said Dr. Karyn Wills, chief medical officer for CareFirst, another Washington managed care organization that started paying for medical respite in 2021. "It is important, but it's not our primary driver."
Policy momentum and barriers
Policymakers in Washington state, Minnesota, Colorado and New York are exploring how they could expand access to medical respite through Medicaid. But a major roadblock remains.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is forbidden from paying for "room and board," which has prevented medical respite from being covered by Medicaid the same as other services like a doctor's visit or nursing home stay.
Managed care organizations have to set up individual contracts with each medical respite provider, and the money they spend on respite does not get factored into their annual contract negotiations with state Medicaid programs to determine how much state and federal money they receive.
In 2022, California became the first state to get a waiver from CMS allowing medical respite to be a covered benefit. Utah is in the process of getting its own waiver, more evidence that CMS is open to this experiment.
Respite providers, insurance companies, advocates and policymakers agreed that a bigger shift in CMS' policy could open the floodgates to more medical respite. But even if that happened, it would still likely only touch a fraction of the nearly 600,000 homeless people in the country.
"We are not going to end this crisis with medical respite beds alone," said Julia Dobbins. "Medical respite care is not housing."
Forty percent of Christ House residents over the last three years have been discharged to a shelter or back on the streets. A similar share at Hope Has a Home also left without finding a stable place to live.
The lack of affordable housing forces respite homes to choose between releasing someone back to homelessness or keeping them in a bed that someone else needs.
"We have to always be talking about access to affordable housing for folks experiencing homelessness," Dobbins said. "Otherwise, we're going to just keep talking about developing more and more respite programs. And while I'm here to support them, that is not my goal long-term."

Archbishop of Hyderabad Anthony Poola was elevated to the position of a Cardinal in India. He is the first Dalit Christian in India to get the title. There are six Cardinals in India.

The Archbishop of Hyderabad, Anthony Poola, now represents the growing aspirations of a marginalised section among Christians in India – the Dalit Christians. Poola has become the first Dalit to become a Cardinal of the Catholic church in the country.
Speaking to The Quint, Poola was clear about his position on the most contentious matters that have been affecting Christians in the country: Attacks on churches and preachers and the elusive Scheduled Caste status for Dalit Christians. He condemned the first and supported the second.
On 29 May, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis elevated two prelates from India as Cardinals. With this, the country now has six Cardinals.

Poola told The Quint, “The main problem or the big fault which they accuse Christians of, is that Christians convert people (to Christianity). This is the misunderstanding of the fanatical groups. Christians will continue the missionary activities in different areas.” He said that Christians have been trying to make the ‘fanatics’ understand the fallacy of misinformation about conversion.

The Christians in Karnataka have also been resisting the alleged attacks on churches and preachers in the state.

But in the case of Telugu speaking states, the church is also in touch with Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the Cardinal said. “Both the Chief Ministers have been favourable to Christians, as they understand the importance of maintaining unity between various religious groups. When a problem arises, we do collaborate with them,” Poola added.
Cardinal Poola said that Dalit Christians have been demanding Scheduled Caste status for long.
In 2008 a report of the National Commission for Minorities estimated, based on National Sample Survey Office (2004-05), that there are 32 lakh Dalit Christians and Muslims in India. This included 8 lakh Dalit Muslims and 24 lakh Dalit Christians.
Dalit Christian bodies in the country have contested these figures, stating that the population of Dalit Christians is higher. According to a 2020 PEW research study ‘Religion in India: Tolerance and Segregation’ about 33 percent of Christians in India identity as Scheduled Caste and 24 percent identify as Scheduled Tribe. According to National Council of Churches in India (NCCI) about 70 percent of Christians in India are from Scheduled Caste background.
Meaning, based on the two reports, the number of Dalit Christians in the country could be anywhere between 91 lakh and 1.94 crore.

Dalit Christians need concessions offered by the Indian Constitution to marginalised groups like Dalits and Adivasis, it has been contended. “Pope Francis has been talking about unity in the church irrespective of caste and creed,” Poola said, hinting that caste difference among Christians is recognised even by the church.
The Catholic church among other Christian denominations have been officially seeking SC status for Dalit Christians. Currently, in states including Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and Tamil Nadu, Dalit Christians are included under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category.
The Cardinal who did not want to further talk about controversial matters that concern Christians in the country, however, said that he will be representing the aspirations of South Indian Catholics before the Pope.
He will be coordinating between “Pope Francis, the universal church (or churches across the world) and South Indian churches,” Cardinal Poola said.
The “missionary mandate” is still about the proclamation of the gospel (the life and message of Christ), education to the poor and downtrodden, and social service to the people. That is, the church continues to stress on mass outreach despite attack threats. The church will also be focusing on “medical missions” that provide health benefits through church run hospitals and clinics.
Anthony Poola is from Nellore in Andhra Pradesh but started his life as a priest in Kadapa district. He has served the Catholic church in Europe for ten years. On his return to India he continued to be a priest. He was appointed the Archbishop of Hyderabad in 2021.

Thamizh on choosing Perumal Murugan’s short story for his directorial Seththumaan: 'Wanted to make an impactful film'
Seththumaan, which revolves around food politics, has won accolades at many film festivals.
Seththumaan, a film festival favourite, had won the Grand Jury Award at the 2021 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles. The film, which revolves around a grandfather and grandson that perfectly captures the politics around food, is now streaming on SonyLiv.
Directed by debutant Thamizh and based on writer Perumal Murugan’s short story, Seththumaan talks about food politics and social mobility. In a chat with Firstpost, Thamizh talks about making the film and what he hopes to achieve.
How did you decide to make Tamil author Perumal Murugan’s short story Varugari (Pork Roast) into a film?
I was very conscious that I wanted to make a good film for the audience and an independent movie at that. When Malayalam filmmakers were turning short stories into films, I thought why can’t we do something like that? I had read a lot of short stories and when I found Varugari it impressed me a lot. I felt that I could turn this into a movie that I had envisioned and independently also.
This movie is about the caste politics of food and how it spills into everyday life into other areas. I wanted to make a movie that will make people think. When I started my career, I don’t think Fandry had been released. But the idea of using a pig as the core of a film I thought would be a challenge, a surprise and a novelty factor too. People think of a pig as a dirty animal but I wanted to portray it as something good. Food politics has existed for ages and I became more conscious of this, it shows how eating beef curry and pig curry has become about caste. I wanted to show that it is food and people have the right and can eat what they desire and not be dictated to on what they can or cannot eat.
What was most touching about this short story?
It was the last image that really disturbed me. ‘Vaaikaalil Saaindha Thaatharai Thaangi pidika Kumarasenai Thavira Angu Veru Yaarum Illai’ (When the grandfather died there was no one else except Kumaresan) It spoke of how Kumaresan (the grandson) was all alone now and he had no one. What will he do now? It was haunting.
Perumal Murugan has also penned the screenplay for Seththumaan.
Yes, I approached him for permission to make Varugari into a film and then requested him to write the screenplay as well. After meeting me, he too had faith that I could make this into a good film.
When adapting the story for the screen, did you make any changes?
Yes, I added more elements to it to make it more current and apt for the screen - for instance, the story takes place in the 1980s but I changed it to 2017. I added more shades to Rangan’s character as well. In the short story, Kumaresan has a family but for the film, I turned it into a grandfather-grandson story so it would be more emotionally touching and have more impact on screen. I made it the grandfather’s dream to educate his grandson so he becomes someone to reckon with in life. So does the grandfather’s dream come true or not?
How did director-producer Pa Ranjith come on board?
I actually needed someone to help financially in renting a camera. I approached Pa Ranjith for this but he asked me to narrate the story and he liked the film. Neelam Productions then came on board and he suggested some changes to the script but left it completely up to me. I felt his suggestions made sense, like about Ram Nath Kovind, and these were very relevant for more impact.
This is your first directorial but you have worked on commercial films like Tanaakaaran and Bachelor. Why did you choose not to debut with a commercial film?
I had a commercial script and for about four years tried to get it on floors but nothing happened. Moreover, one needs to make a lot of changes and compromise when making a commercial film to suit the hero, etc. That’s when I realised that instead of wasting time on that I should do an independent film and make the kind of cinema that I want.
What’s next for you?
I am making another film again with shades of politics but it’s neither parallel cinema nor commercial cinema. I want it to be released in theatres and reach a much wider audience.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be carefully monitored, predicts Angela Levin.
Speaking to GB News, the royal expert revealed that Queen aides do not trust the Duke and Duchess of Sussex around her and will ensure the 96-year-old's privacy is not compromised.
Meghan and Harry are set to return to UK this week to mark the monarch's Platinum Jubilee.
Ms Levin said: "The Queen has handed out a sort of a peaceful olive branch to them [Harry and Meghan].
"[This is] because she wants everyone to be one of a family".
She added: "I understand that because she wants everyone to be together, everyone in this country, everyone in the Commonwealth.
"You can't then, sort of, allow your family to have a big row and be difficult so I think she is trying to say, to the press and everyone, please be kind and let us all try and get together".
Ms Levin continued: "But I don't think Harry and Meghan can be trusted anymore.
"They want, like, can have somebody there who's quite clever at getting into a room".
She added: "We don't know if the Netflix people are there, but I do know that they got extra security".
She added that, because of this "they're not going to let them into Windsor Castle, or anything like that".
However, amid the mistrust, Queen will witness a "very nice moment" with Harry's daughter Lilibet.
She said: "I think it'll be wonderful for the Queen to meet her little great-granddaughter".

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has demanded an apology from the French sports minister after she said fans with fake tickets and the club's handling of their supporters were responsible for the trouble that marred Saturday's Champions League final.
The match at the Stade de France, which Real Madrid won 1-0, was delayed by more than half an hour after police tried to hold off people trying to force their way into the ground. Some fans, including children, were tear-gassed by French riot police.
On Monday, sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said that the initial problems were caused by Liverpool fans without valid tickets and accused the club of letting their supporters "out in the wild".
French interior minister Gerald Darmanin added that there had been a "massive (ticket) fraud on an industrial scale".
Werner hit back late on Monday in a letter to Oudea-Castera, describing her comments as "irresponsible, unprofessional, and wholly disrespectful" to the fans affected.
"The UEFA Champions League final should be one of the finest spectacles in world sport, and instead it devolved into one of the worst security collapses in recent memory," Werner was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo newspaper.
"On behalf of all the fans who experienced this nightmare I demand an apology from you, and assurance that the French authorities and UEFA allow an independent and transparent investigation to proceed."
UEFA has commissioned an independent inquiry into the incident while Oudea-Castera said they would produce a report within 10 days.
In an interview to the Liverpool website, CEO Billy Hogan said they were also reviewing legal options available to them on behalf of their supporters. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/05/31/liverpool-chairman-demands-apology-from-french-sports-minister.amp.html | 2022-05-31T11:21:30Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/football/2022/05/31/liverpool-chairman-demands-apology-from-french-sports-minister.amp.html | false | 11 |
MIAMI (AP) — A frustrated Bam Adebayo tore his jersey apart as he walked off the court after the final buzzer. Erik Spoelstra made no effort to hide his sadness about how the Miami Heat’s season ended. Kyle Lowry said the year was wasted.
The hope was to spend Tuesday flying to the NBA Finals.
Instead, the Heat enter an offseason of decisions.
A team that was assembled with a singular goal of winning a championship will spend the coming months lamenting a chance that slipped away. Miami’s season ended with a Game 7 home loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, denying the Heat a second trip to the NBA Finals in the last three seasons.
“You don’t know how many more opportunities you will have to get back to this, so for me, honestly, it was a waste of a year,” Lowry said after his first season with the Heat ended. “I only play to win championships. It was fun, and I appreciate the guys, my teammates, and I appreciate the opportunity. But for me, it’s a waste of a year. You’re not winning a championship, it’s a wasted year.”
The Heat had the best record in the East during the regular season, 53-29. They did it without a player who was voted onto the All-NBA teams — Miami was only the sixth No. 1 seed in the last four decades without a first-, second- or third-team selection.
“You fight so hard, throughout the season, ups and downs, injuries, disrespect and you still find a way to come this close,” said Adebayo, the Miami center who was in the running for defensive player of the year. “It’s rough.”
The NBA award votes were cast when the regular season ended. Had the playoffs counted, Jimmy Butler would have been voted All-World. He joined LeBron James as the only two players in Heat history to have a year with at least eight 30-point playoff games during the first three rounds, capping his playoff run with a 47-point season saver in Game 6 at Boston and then 35 more in the finale.
“We had enough,” Butler said. “Next year, we will have enough and we’re going to be right back in the same situation, and we’re going to get it done.”
If the Heat had won Game 7 over Boston, nobody knows who they even would have had available to face Golden State in the NBA Finals. Tyler Herro, who was named sixth man of the year, was dealing with a groin injury. Power forward P.J. Tucker couldn’t finish Game 7, after lumbering through much of the postseason with leg issues. Lowry’s hamstring hasn’t been right for more than a month. Butler clearly was ailing though insisted he was fine.
“It feels heartbreaking,” said Spoelstra, who finished his 14th season as Heat coach. “We just wanted a crack at it. A crack at Golden State, and just find out, you know, as competitors. I love this group. This team was here to compete for a title. In that regard, I think we lived up to those expectations. But we fell short. We’ll never know, and that’s the part that we’ll have to live with.”
HERRO EXTENSION
Herro didn’t have great postseason numbers, in at least some part because of the groin issue, but had a year that likely exceeded expectations overall. He wasn’t bothered by not starting and understood that the sixth man role has always been a vital part of Spoelstra’s game plans. He is eligible for a contract extension now going into Year 4, and a clear priority for the Heat this summer is figuring out how much they’ll be able to pay Herro starting with the 2023-24 season when the new deal will kick in.
TUCKER’S FUTURE
Tucker is 37, undersized to be a power forward at 6-foot-5 and has never averaged 10 points in an NBA season. That’s often not a great combination. But — assuming Tucker opts out of the second year of his Heat deal, as would seem to make sense — it would be shocking if Miami didn’t fight to keep him, given the enormous impact he made on the Heat in his first year with the club. Spoelstra loves what he brings, as does the rest of the locker room.
THE ROBINSON DILEMMA
Duncan Robinson — a 3-point specialist who has often flourished in his Miami tenure — got a contract worth about $18 million per season last summer, lost his stroke at times this year, then lost his starting spot and ultimately his rotation spot. He scored 27 points in the Heat postseason opener back in April, then scored 46 points in the 17 games Miami played over the rest of the playoffs (and didn’t even get into five of those). It won’t be a surprise if he’s a trade chip if the Heat, as they often do, test the market in search of major upgrades.
UNDRAFTED FINDS
Including playoffs, the Heat got 4,171 points this season from undrafted players — the most by any NBA team in the last 50 years. Max Strus and Gabe Vincent were both key parts of the rotation and remain with the Heat on team-friendly deals for next season.
DRAFT ASSETS
Miami has the No. 27 pick in this year’s draft. The Heat forfeited their second-round pick as part of the penalty levied by the NBA after an investigation found that the team began pursuing Lowry last summer before league rules allow.

Cenovus stock pops on plan to restart the West White Rose Project
Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE) shares have popped ~4% pre-market after the oil and gas firm and its partners agreed to restart the West White Rose Project offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
The West White Rose Project is a $3.2B expansion project for the White Rose offshore oil field. The project, which around 65% complete, was stalled for over two years following pandemic-related market collapse.
An amended royalty structure with the government of Newfoundland and Labrador, which provides safeguards to the project's economics in periods of low commodity prices, has contributed to the decision to restart the project.
First oil from the platform is anticipated in the first half of 2026, with peak production anticipated to reach ~80,000 bbls/d, 45,000 bbls/d net to Cenovus (CVE), by year-end 2029. The remaining capital required to achieve first oil is expected to be ~$2B to $2.3B net to Cenovus.
Included in the project capital estimate is $120M net to Cenovus to be spent in 2022 as the company proceeds to fully restart the project in 2023. This amount will be added to Cenovus’s 2022 corporate guidance at its next update later this year.
The restart decision follows Cenovus's restructuring last year of its working interests in the White Rose and Terra Nova fields that improved the strategic alignment across the two assets.
Under the restructuring, Cenovus and Suncor (NYSE:SU) forged a deal, pursuant to which Cenovus will reduce its working interest in the White Rose field from 72.5% to 60% and from 68.875% to 56.375% in the satellite extensions.
Suncor (SU) takes a larger stake, with the approval of the West White Rose project restarting. Nalcor, meanwhile, has a 5% working interest in the satellite fields. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3843796-cenovus-stock-pops-on-plan-to-restart-the-west-white-rose-project | 2022-05-31T11:22:24Z | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3843796-cenovus-stock-pops-on-plan-to-restart-the-west-white-rose-project | false | 1 |

McDavid, Oilers eliminate Flames in OT, on to West finals
CALGARY, Alberta — (AP) — Connor McDavid scored at 5:03 of overtime and the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Thursday to win the second-round playoff series in five games and advance to the Western Conference finals.
The Edmonton captain scored his seventh goal of the postseason, beating Jacob Markstrom off a pass from Leon Draisaitl to send the Oilers spilling over the bench in celebration.
Zach Hyman had a goal and two assists and Darnell Nurse, Jesse Puljujarvi and Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers. Mike Smith made 32 saves as Edmonton claimed the first postseason Battle of Alberta in 31 years.
Draisaitl added four assists — his fifth straight contest registering three-plus points to build on the NHL playoff record he set in Game 4.
McDavid and Draisaitl have both amassed 26 points to lead the playoffs so far.
The Oilers will face either the Colorado Avalanche or St. Louis Blues in their first conference final appearance since 2006. Colorado leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Friday in St. Louis.
Mikael Backlund had a goal and an assist and Johnny Gaudreau, Calle Jarnkrok and Andrew Mangiapane also scored for Calgary. Blake Coleman added two assists and Jacob Markstrom made 30 saves as the Flames dropped to 0-10 when trailing a playoff series 3-1.
Coleman, who won the Cup the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning, appeared to snap a 4-4 tie with just under six minutes left in regulation after Backlund took the puck hard to Edmonton’s net. But the goal was waved off following a video review after it was ruled the winger kicked the puck over Smith’s goal line with his skate as he battled with Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci.
With his team trailing 1-0 after a tentative first period, Edmonton interim head coach Jay Woodcroft double-shifted Draisaitl and McDavid early in the second, and it nearly paid off on a couple of good opportunities.
But the Flames, who topped the Oilers by seven points in the regular season to claim the Pacific Division crown, went up 2-0 at 5:41 when Backlund scored his fifth on a slick deflection.
The Oilers got on the board at 7:40 after Draisaitl protected the puck against Backlund before finding Nurse in the slot for him to fire his second past a screened Markstrom.
Edmonton tied it up just 2:26 later on a 3-on-1 rush when Markstrom could only get a piece of Hyman’s shot before Puljujarvi swept home his second as the Oilers erased another multigoal deficit on the road.
Then, there was a wild stretch with four goals in a 71-second span.
Hyman scored his sixth goal of the series, and eighth of the postseason, on a power play at 14:57 before Gaudreau tied things again at 3-all at 15:12 with his third.
Jarnkrok then scored his first as a member of the Flames since coming over in a trade with the Seattle Kraken at 15:28 to make it 4-3.
But the Oilers responded again at 16:08 when Bouchard’s blast beat Markstrom for his second as the teams set an NHL record for the fastest four goals in playoff history — 22 seconds faster than the previous mark set by the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs in 1976.
Following a tepid start for both teams, the Flames nudged in front at 10:13 of the first when Mangiapane took a terrific pass from Coleman to score his third goal of the playoffs.
The winger’s first point of the series gave his team its first lead since late in the second period of Game 2 — a stretch of 155 minutes — that started a run of three straight losses to push Calgary to the brink of elimination.
One of three finalists for the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie in the regular season, Markstrom entered Thursday with an .850 save percentage in the series after posting a .943 mark in Calgary’s seven-game victory over the Dallas Stars in the opening round.
After the Oilers, who beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 to set up the matchup with their provincial rival, killed off a McDavid high-sticking penalty, the Flames goaltender had to scramble to keep the Edmonton captain’s dash to the net at bay with the puck briefly lying free in Calgary’s crease.

We didn't know it at the time, but the arrival of the horror film The Evil Dead back in the early 1980s was the start of something big.
The movie had a tiny budget, an over-the-top gory style, and, perhaps most surprisingly, a twisted sense of humor.
Author Stephen King called it, "The most ferociously original horror movie of 1982."
With each subsequent release in the series, the movies leaned more into that darkly comic element. They became as funny as they were scary — and fans loved it.
Skip forward several decades, and what began as a cult classic horror film has become a full-blown universe with multiple sequels, a musical, and a well-received television series.
Now, a new video game aptly called Evil Dead: The Game is entering that canon. It's not the first Evil Dead video game, but it just might be the first one to really nail the singular magic of the series.
Reviving that special atmosphere was an explicit focus of the audio team at Saber Interactive. Recreating — and in some instances updating — the world of the original series meant bringing back lots of Evil Dead stalwarts. That included its original composer, Joe LoDuca, who said his role had always been countering the levity of the jokes with some pretty serious and scary music.
"The music plays it straight," he said. "And I think that's what helps the humor and helps the absurdity of what gets introduced."
LoDuca composed the music for the original Evil Dead trilogy.
"I was still in school at the time. And so what I had at my disposal for the budget that we had, was to record in a little attic studio," he said. "I had four string players, and anything else that I could grab and bang on ... it was spit and glue."
LoDuca is back writing the main theme for Evil Dead: The Game, and maintaining that balance between spooky and comic is one way this game feels like what's come before it.
Also important was to maintain the actual voice of the series itself. A slew of cast members are back to reclaim their roles, including Bruce Campbell, who played the protagonist Ash in the original film trilogy.
"Working with Bruce was a huge step forward for me at least," said Craig Sherman, the game's head writer.
"When his voice got in the game, it really started to feel like an Evil Dead game. He did change some of the dialogue, because he knows the character — 'I feel like Ash should say it this way' — and of course we're not going to tell Bruce Campbell what to say. He's Ash."
The famed "cabin in the woods" setting is back in the game too — but designing sound and music for a 3D space is a little different than a movie on a screen.
That means fine-tuning the creaking sounds of the floorboards in the cabin, the running water of the swamp, or the wind blowing through the forest's trees.
"Once you play around with panning so it surrounds the player - that's when the magic happens," said Steve Molitz, who worked on the game's music.
These sounds, and the game's new music tracks, shift and change based on what the player is experiencing.
"If you're exploring, the music is gonna be more of an ambient drone," Molitz said. "As you start to encounter enemies — maybe some deadites spawn on a hillside as you're walking through the forest — the music swells and ramps up."
For Molitz and the team, the whole project is an exercise in staying true to what came before it.
"I think players will hear all the love and passion that went into this," Molitz said. "It really is a love letter to Evil Dead and to the fans."
Even Joe LoDuca said it was unbelievable to think the first thing he worked on is still alive to this day.
Or, as LoDuca himself appropriately suggests: "You can't kill it."

National plan will provide turnkey economic, social, and environmental sustainability programs to global clients to drive action and raise standards of business event sustainability in Canada
VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Destination Canada is pleased to announce the launch of its Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan, a first-of-its-kind national program aimed at improving the economic, social, and environmental sustainability practices of business events hosted in Canada. Actionable programs tailored toward the unique Sustainable Development Goals of individual cities will be rolled out to global clients to accelerate the industry's progress toward net zero targets.
Coaching, training and education opportunities will be provided to more than 20 domestic partners to build on their existing sustainability programs and support the implementation of new programs across business events hosted in Canada. In particular, the plan will focus on international association conferences, trade exhibitions, workshops and seminars, as well as corporate meetings and incentive group events.
"Developing and launching sustainable business event programs is not an option anymore. If our industry is to meet net zero targets by no later than 2050, the entire supply chain must work in partnership to find and implement powerful solutions," said Virginie De Visscher, Senior Director of Business Development, Economic Sectors, Destination Canada Business Events. "As one of the world's first national sustainability plans for business events, Destination Canada's Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan will provide a national support arm to this supply chain and be the figurative rising tide that lifts all ships."
In-line with Destination Canada's corporate strategy, the Canadian Business Events Sustainability Plan will build on an evidence-based foundation established through a national destination assessment study. The study will evaluate where Canadian cities, as hosts for business events, stand today in terms of their existing sustainability initiatives and will be used to measure and track change in the years to come.
"We want to do this right and we want to hold ourselves accountable," added De Visscher. "By establishing a baseline for impact and assessing the Sustainable Development Goals and actions already being taken by our domestic partners – like Tourisme Montréal's new Harmonious Destination strategy in partnership with Aéroports de Montréal and the GHG Carbone Boréal offset program and Destination Vancouver's program with Binners' Project which has already enabled the city to divert 75% of the waste generated by business events, out of landfills – we're creating a marker for change. We all have a responsibility to economically, socially and environmentally benefit the host communities and global ecosystems we visit. We believe the Canadian Business Event Sustainability Plan will empower our team, our partners and our clients to do just that and ultimately foster a regenerative tourism ecosystem that produces positive net benefits for all Canadians."
In conjunction with its Canadian Business Event Sustainability Plan, Destination Canada has commissioned a Legacy Impact Study. Led by #MEET4IMPACT and Gaining Edge, the multi-year study will evaluate the beyond-tourism benefits international business events generate in host communities aligned with the core sustainability pillars of economic, social, and environmental enrichment.
"This plan gives us a real opportunity to move the needle on the sustainability of the business events industry. It's a milestone not only for Destination Canada but for our industry as a whole and we're so proud to be leading it."
Chantal Sturk-Nadeau
Executive Director, Business Events, Destination Canada
"Now is the time for Canada's tourism renaissance. While we are focused on revenue recovery in the immediate term, Destination Canada is striving to foster tourism growth that generates true wealth and wellbeing for Canada in the longer term, while enriching the lives of our guests. With a smarter approach to future growth, we can strengthen business prosperity, enliven socio-cultural vibrancy, and lift environmental sustainability. Our Business Events Sustainability Plan is an important step toward a healthier, more productive, and more successful sector."
Marsha Walden
President and CEO, Destination Canada
At Destination Canada, we believe that tourism enhances the quality of life of Canadians and enriches the lives of visitors. We believe that Canada's diversity, its greatest asset, is also, what touches travellers' hearts most deeply. Our mission is to influence supply, and build demand for the benefit of locals, communities and visitors through leading research, alignment with public and private sectors, and marketing Canada nationally and abroad. Our destination development work ensures that we grow a premier four-season tourism economy that is community centric and regenerative in nature — catalysing thriving commerce, culture and reconciliation.

LONDON (AP) — After seven decades on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II is widely viewed in the U.K. as a rock in turbulent times. But in Britain’s former colonies, many see her as an anchor to an imperial past whose damage still lingers.
So while the U.K. is celebrating the queen’s Platinum Jubilee — 70 years on the throne — with pageantry and parties, some in the Commonwealth are using the occasion to push for a formal break with the monarchy and the colonial history it represents.
“When I think about the queen, I think about a sweet old lady,” said Jamaican academic Rosalea Hamilton, who campaigns for her country to become a republic. “It’s not about her. It’s about her family’s wealth, built on the backs of our ancestors. We’re grappling with the legacies of a past that has been very painful.”
The empire that Elizabeth was born into is long gone, but she still reigns far beyond Britain’s shores. She is head of state in 14 other nations, including Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Bahamas. Until recently it was 15 — Barbados cut ties with the monarchy in November, and several other Caribbean countries, including Jamaica, say they plan to follow suit.
Britain’s jubilee celebrations, which climax over a four-day holiday weekend starting Thursday, aim to recognize the diversity of the U.K. and the Commonwealth. A huge jubilee pageant through central London on Sunday will feature Caribbean Carnival performers and Bollywood dancers.
But Britain’s image of itself as a welcoming and diverse society has been battered by the revelation that hundreds, and maybe thousands, of people from the Caribbean who had lived legally in the U.K. for decades were denied housing, jobs or medical treatment — and in some cases deported — because they didn’t have the paperwork to prove their status.
The British government has apologized and agreed to pay compensation, but the Windrush scandal has caused deep anger, both in the U.K. and in the Caribbean.
A jubilee-year trip to Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas in March by the queen’s grandson Prince William and his wife Kate, which was intended to strengthen ties, appears to have had the opposite effect. Images of the couple shaking hands with children through a chain-link fence and riding in an open-topped Land Rover in a military parade stirred echoes of colonialism for many.
Cynthia Barrow-Giles, professor of political science at the University of the West Indies, said the British “seem to be very blind to the visceral sort of reactions” that royal visits elicit in the Caribbean.
Protesters in Jamaica demanded Britain pay reparations for slavery, and Prime Minister Andrew Holness politely told William that the country was “moving on,” a signal that it planned to become a republic. The next month, Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne told the queen’s son Prince Edward that his country, too, would one day remove the queen as head of state.
William acknowledged the strength of feeling and said the future “is for the people to decide upon.”
“We support with pride and respect your decisions about your future,” he said in the Bahamas. “Relationships evolve. Friendship endures.”
When then Princess Elizabeth became queen on the death of her father King George VI 1952, she was in Kenya. The East African country became independent in 1963 after years of violent struggle between a liberation movement and colonial troops. In 2013, the British government apologized for the torture of thousands of Kenyans during the 1950s “Mau Mau” uprising and paid millions in an out-of-court settlement.
Memories of the empire are still raw for many Kenyans.
“From the start, her reign would be indelibly stained by the brutality of the empire she presided over and that accompanied its demise,” said Patrick Gathara, a Kenyan cartoonist, writer and commentator.
“To this day, she has never publicly admitted, let alone apologized, for the oppression, torture, dehumanization and dispossession visited upon people in the colony of Kenya before and after she acceded to the throne.”
U.K. officials hope countries that become republics will remain in the Commonwealth, the 54-nation organization made up largely of former British colonies, which has the queen as its ceremonial head.
The queen’s strong personal commitment to the Commonwealth has played a big role in uniting a diverse group whose members range from vast India to tiny Tuvalu. But the organization, which aims to champion democracy, good governance and human rights, faces an uncertain future.
As Commonwealth heads of government prepare to meet in Kigali, Rwanda, this month for a summit delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, some question whether the organization can continue once the queen’s eldest son, Prince Charles, succeeds her.
“Many of the more uncomfortable histories of the British Empire and the British Commonwealth are sort of waiting in the wings for as soon as Elizabeth II is gone,” royal historian Ed Owens said. “So it’s a difficult legacy that she is handing over to the next generation.”
The crisis in the Commonwealth reflects Britain’s declining global clout.
Zimbabwe was suspended from the Commonwealth under its authoritarian late President Robert Mugabe, and is currently seeking readmission. But many in its capital of Harare have expressed indifference to the queen’s jubilee, as Britain’s once-strong influence wanes and countries such as China and Russia enjoy closer relations with the former British colony.
“She is becoming irrelevant here,” social activist Peter Nyapedwa said. “We know about (Chinese President) Xi (Jinping) or (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, not the queen.”
Sue Onslow, director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London, said the queen has been the “invisible glue” holding the Commonwealth together.
But she says the organization has proven remarkably resilient and and shouldn’t be written off. The Commonwealth played a major role in galvanizing opposition to apartheid in the 1980s, and could do the same over climate change, which poses an existential threat to its low-lying island members.
“The Commonwealth has shown a remarkable ability to reinvent itself and contrive solutions at times of crisis, almost as if it’s jumping into a telephone box and coming out under different guise,” she said. “Whether it will do it now is an open question.”

Initiation of global non-interventional study for patients with Parkinson's planned for the second half of 2022 as next step
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueRock Therapeutics LP, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer AG, announced the completion of enrollment of its Phase 1 (Ph1), open-label trial of pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of the Ph1 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of BRT-DA01 in patients with Parkinson's disease.
"Patients with Parkinson's disease are faced with life changing challenges and uncertainties that are not addressed by current treatments," said Ahmed Enayetallah, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Clinical Development, BlueRock Therapeutics. "We are excited that our Phase 1 clinical trial has completed enrollment and believe it is a critical next step toward the development of a novel cell therapy that has the potential to transform the treatment landscape for this devastating disease."
About the BRT-DA01 Phase 1 Trial
The primary objective of the Ph1 trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of BRT-DA01 transplantation at one-year post-transplant. The secondary objectives of the trial are to assess the evidence of transplanted cell survival and motor effects at one- and two-years post-transplant, to evaluate continued safety and tolerability at two years, and to assess feasibility of transplantation.
In the United States, the trial was initiated at Weill Cornell Medicine with Dr. Harini Sarva, M.D. as the Principal Investigator (PI) and first surgeries being performed by Dr. Viviane Tabar, Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Additional Neurology sites were added at the University of California, Irvine, under the guidance of Dr. Claire Henchcliffe, M.D., D.Phil., F.A.A.N., F.A.N.A. (PI), and at the University Health Network (UHN), under the guidance of Dr. Lozano, O.C., M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.S.C., F.R.S.C., F.C.A.H.S.

More information about the non-interventional study is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT#05363046)
About Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by nerve cell damage in the brain, leading to decreased dopamine levels. The worsening of motor and non-motor symptoms is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. At diagnosis, it is estimated that patients have already lost 60-80% of their dopaminergic neurons. Parkinson's disease often starts with a tremor in one hand. Other symptoms are rigidity, cramping, and slowness of movement (bradykinesia). According to the Parkinson's Foundation, more than 10 million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's disease, with one million living in the United States. BRT-DA01 is being clinically evaluated in a subset of patients with Parkinson's disease, where regular medications are no longer fully effective.

Passport delays: Peterborough office queues build in the holiday rush
- Published
A backlog of applications ahead of holidays is being blamed for queues outside a city passport office.
People from as far away as London and Chesterfield waited for hours outside the Peterborough office on Monday.
HM Passport Office said delays were caused by a backlog of applications after as many as five million people had put off renewing their passport during the pandemic restrictions.
People were advised to leave 10 weeks for a new one, due to increased demand.
Post-Brexit travel rules that came into force last year mean many EU countries are insisting passports must be more no more than 10 years old from the point of issue and be valid for at least three months after the date you plan to leave the country you are visiting.
It has left people who do not meet those criteria struggling to get hold of new passports.
The Peterborough office on Northminster is one of seven in the country where you get an appointment or attempt to "fast track" your passport.
The others are in Belfast, Durham, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Newport.
However, some of those queuing in Peterborough on Monday had travelled because they had been unable to get appointments in places such as Liverpool and London.
Hayley Milner, 29, had driven for two hours from Chesterfield, in Derbyshire, because "this is apparently where my documents went".
"I applied on 3 April for my son's renewal, and it's been stuck on 'received' ever since - I went to Liverpool last week, and they couldn't help.
"I turned up today at 5am with copies of all my documents - and they've done it. I've got the email to say it's been printed."
She said long-standing holiday bookings had been postponed during the Covid-19 restrictions period - "and now we go on Monday".
Amy Foster, 31, travelled from Norwich in the hope of getting her passport before her flight to Rhodes in Greece on Thursday.
"I've waited five weeks already and they wouldn't let you do a fast track for a first passport," she said.
When the BBC spoke to her she had been standing in the queue for about four hours and she admitted "I don't think I will be going [on holiday]".
Several in the queue had travelled because the Peterborough office was the only place that had appointments, with one man saying he had been trying to get one at the London office and was now "seriously worried" he might not get his passport before a planned trip at the end of June.
A government spokesperson said: "Since April 2021, we've clearly stated that people should allow up to 10 weeks when applying for their passport to factor in the increased demand, which has seen five million people delay their passport application due to the pandemic.
"The latest figures show that over 90% of applications have been completed within six weeks.
"But we cannot compromise security checks and people should apply with plenty of time prior to travelling."

In a new report which was seen by Business Insider Africa, Fitch said the banks could experience a deteriorating operating environment between now and 2023. And that's because of adverse global macroeconomic conditions which are already affecting the Nigerian economy.
For Nigerian banks, operating environments could deteriorate between now and 2023 — Fitch
Credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings, said Nigerian banks are facing the possibility of global risk transmission.
Said risk notwithstanding, Fitch noted that it does not expect the Nigerian banking sector to experience material shock/losses.
"Soaring inflation led the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to raise its benchmark rate by 150bp on 24 May, and the pressures on banks’ profitability and asset quality will be higher than we had initially expected for 2022. However, the sharp rise in oil prices this year will mitigate the economic impact from the global risks, and we do not expect Nigeria’s banking sector to experience a material shock."
Below are the specific ways the current global economic conditions could affect Nigerian banks:
- The prevailing high inflationary environment and a potential economic slowdown will put pressure on borrowers, albeit to the detriment of the banks’ asset quality.
- And in light of the rising inflation rate, Fitch said it expects the Central Bank of Nigeria to further increase interest rates; a development that would support banks' interest margins.
As you should know, Nigeria is a major oil producing country in Africa. And with oil sales come a boost to the country's foreign exchange reserves; especially now that there is a positive outlook for global oil prices.
Now, Nigerian banks need oil prices to be high, because this always helps to relieve pressure on bank assets. That's because much of the banks' loan exposure is to the Nigerian oil and gas sector. As a result, whenever the oil and gas sector underperforms, banks' non-performing loans ratio skyrockets.
Also, note that the mainstay of the Nigerian economy is its oil and gas sector. The situation is such that whenever the sector is in distress, the rest of the economy suffers.

French Open 2022: Rohan Bopanna makes first Grand Slam men's doubles semifinal since 2015 Wimbledon
Bopanna, 42, and Middelkoop, 38, will face 12th seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Roger on Thursday in the last four
India's Rohan Bopanna reached his first Grand Slam semifinal in seven years after he and his Dutch partner Matwe Middelkoop rallied to beat Lloyd Glasspool and Henri Heliovaara in the men's doubles quarterfinals of the French Open.
The Indo-Dutch pair eked out a 4-6 6-4 7-6 (3) win over the British-Finnish combination in a hard-fought contest on Monday night. Bopanna last reached the semifinals of a tennis Major at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships when he had teamed up with Romania's Florin Mergea and lost in a gruelling five-setter to Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau.
Bopanna, 42, and Middelkoop, 38, will face 12th seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Roger on Thursday in the last four. The Bopanna and Middelkoop squandered the opening set but dished out a superb fightback to win the next two as emerge victories.
In the decider, the Indo-Dutch pair showed tremendous mental fortitude to fightback from 3-5 down to take the match to a super tiebreak. They were again 0-3 behind but won 10 straight points to come up trumps.
Bopanna and Middelkoop had saved five match points to knock out Mate Pavic and Nikola Mektic, the reigning Wimbledon champions, from the Roland Garros, on Saturday. | https://thebridge.in/tennis/french-open-rohan-bopanna-first-grand-slam-semifinal-since-2015-wimbledon-31967 | 2022-05-31T11:47:32Z | https://thebridge.in/tennis/french-open-rohan-bopanna-first-grand-slam-semifinal-since-2015-wimbledon-31967 | true | 13 |

“Bridgerton” star Ruby Barker said she’s “happy to be alive” after being discharged from the hospital over recent mental health struggles.
In a video shared on Instagram last week, the 25-year-old said “it’s time to be transparent” and revealed she was hospitalized after “struggling since ‘Bridgerton.’”
Providing fans with an update after leaving the hospital on Monday, Barker — who is best known for her role as Marina Thompson in the Netflix period drama — thanked everyone for their unwavering support.
“You’ve made me feel so happy to be alive,” she said in a newly-shared video on Instagram.
“I can’t wait for the future. I’m doing okay for myself. I’m sat in a beautiful environment right now, taking some time for myself to relax and breathe,” she added.
“If I have any advice for my younger self, I would just tell myself, ‘Listen, it’s not all doom and gloom, even when you hit rock bottom,’” she said, adding, “There’s funny stuff in life all the time. Sometimes you’ve just got to find the funny.”
Barker went on to thank her “Bridgerton” co-stars and revealed a piece of advice Claudia Jessie — who plays Eloise Bridgerton — once shared with her.
“She told me to flip the coin. It might be dull on one side, but just flip the coin and you’ll find it’s shiny on the other,” she said.
“It’s training your mind to find the funny … to find the light, to find the positive. It’s a really hard thing to do, but if you can get into the practice of doing that, you’ve got it.”
In her initial video post on Thursday, Barker explained the root of the problem, revealing she was “raged-filled” and “angry” and had “intergenerational trauma bundled up inside” of her.
“I was carrying the weight of the world on my back, and now I am at the point where I have a diagnosis, and I will talk to you about that at another time,” she said, adding, “I can’t carry on the way that I’ve been carrying on. I need to change, so that’s what I am trying to do.
“I want to survive, and I will survive. I am going to.” | https://pagesix.com/2022/05/31/bridgerton-star-ruby-barker-home-after-hospitalization/ | 2022-05-31T11:57:58Z | https://pagesix.com/2022/05/31/bridgerton-star-ruby-barker-home-after-hospitalization/ | false | 2 |
Los Angeles: British mockumentary sitcom ‘The Office’ is set to get an Arabic language remake. Titled ‘Al Maktab’, the Arabic redo of the groundbreaking BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning comedy series will be set in Saudi Arabia, reports ‘Variety’.
As per ‘Variety’, Egypt’s Hisham Fathi (“Ending So Gently”) will direct with Italy’s Alessandro Martella serving as director of photography and Ryad-based AFLAM Productions Shadi Mcdad handling line producer duties. The series adaptation will go on floors in June on this MBC Studios original on which the BBC Studios international production team, who have licensed the format, will also have input.
The plan is for the twenty-episode show to air on MBC’s linear TV channels, and stream on its Shahid VIP streaming platform later this year. The Saudi adaptation is set in a courier services company, with the main character played by Saleh Abuamrh, who plays Malik Al-Tuwaifi, the company’s self-absorbed yet lovable boss.
Also joining the cast are Fahad Albutairi; Nawaf Alshobaili; Saad Aziz; Adhwa Fahad, Razan Mansour; Reem Busati; and Hisham Hawsawi, among other local talents.
Commenting on the development, Andre Renaud, SVP format sales for BBC Studios said in a statement accessed by ‘Variety’, “Although office working may look slightly different for many of us in 2022, the familiarity of these well-observed characters as they navigate petty rivalries, moments of friendship and humor, and a boss that sometimes makes a fool of themselves, still rings just as true.”
“I’m sure audiences in the Middle East and the Gulf will take Malik and his team to their hearts as much as audiences did with David Brent in the UK over twenty years ago,” he added.
The original version of ‘The Office’ was written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and first aired in the UK over 20 years ago. The agreement between MBC and the BBC Studios marks the twelfth international adaptation of the ‘The Office’ format, following the US, Canada, Chile, France, India, and, most recently, Poland. | https://www.siasat.com/the-office-to-get-a-saudi-adaptation-shoot-to-begin-in-june-2338240/ | 2022-05-31T11:58:23Z | https://www.siasat.com/the-office-to-get-a-saudi-adaptation-shoot-to-begin-in-june-2338240/ | true | 1 |

More than half of abortions in Scotland are now taking place at home as women access early medical terminations away from a clinic, new figures have shown.
Last year, 13,758 abortions were undertaken in Scotland, with 53% of these taking place in the privacy of women’s homes, according to data from Public Health Scotland (PHS).
During the coronavirus pandemic, women were able to take both sets of pills required for an early medical abortion at home (EMAH).
And Women’s Health Minister Maree Todd confirmed that this method would continue to be available, where it is judged clinically appropriate.
Pre-pandemic, it was only possible to take the second drug at home.
This method was introduced from October 27 2017 and its usage has increased each year since then.
However, now that both drugs are available, 7,310 women (53%) opted for this method in 2021.
The figures also showed that 39% of women took only the second drug at home and 18% of terminations were carried out in clinics or hospital settings.
In a statement earlier this month, Ms Todd said allowing terminations at home help women access abortions without delays.
Chief Medical Officer Greg Smith said: “The arrangements put in place from March 2020 have allowed patients to take both abortion medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, at home in certain circumstances as coronavirus has been considered a serious and imminent threat to public health.
“Our primary concern is that services remain both safe and meets the needs of patients.”
A slight decline in abortions was noted in the PHS report – with 138 fewer terminations undertaken compared to 2020.
In 2020, abortion rates in Scotland were at the second-highest level since 2008.
And women from deprived areas are still more likely to undergo the procedure than their more affluent counterparts, PHS have said.
The rate in Scotland’s poorest communities was almost twice as high as in the least deprived areas.

Synaptic, a leading alternative data insights start-up, said it has raised $20 million in Series B funding round led by Valor Equity Partners. Synaptic combines machine learning, and finance to bring sophisticated alternative data insights to decision-makers.
With the funding, Synaptic will continue to invest in product innovations, double down on its data science capabilities, partnerships with data vendors, and expand its go-to-market teams in key global financial hubs.
“We will continue extending and strengthening access to our solutions for decision-makers and alternative data providers,” said Rohit Razdan, co-founder, of Synaptic. “Research and data is over $100 billion industry that has just begun using alternative data. We want to be the partner of choice for any organization that wants to leverage alternative datasets.”
Synaptic is used by leading venture capital and private equity firms, Hedge Funds, and Asset Managers globally with combined assets of several hundred billion dollars. Synaptic provides a data and insights platform to investors looking to leverage diverse alternative datasets in sourcing and tracking companies of interest, market research, and portfolio monitoring.
“The amount of data generated by the world grows exponentially every year and can be valuable in providing accurate, detailed insights across all types of markets. However, the data is raw, unstructured, and constantly shifting, making it difficult for companies to use it in any meaningful way,” said Anurag Abbott, co-founder, Synaptic. “We are a leader in analyzing billions of data points every day to provide reliable insights to investors and corporations so they can make better decisions. With the Series B funding, we will massively increase our reach and bring our capabilities to more markets and geographies.”
The Synaptic platform brings together well over 100 performance metrics like web and mobile traffic, SEO data, employee data, product reviews, developer activity, search trends, etc, on hundreds of thousands of public and private companies globally. These are layered with machine learning-powered analytics and an automated insights engine. This allows investors to get personalized insights from their data that would otherwise remain undiscovered.
"Valor has a long history of leveraging alternative data to enhance decision making,” said Antonio Gracias, the founder, CEO and chief investment officer of Valor. “As the world becomes more chaotic, the importance of alternative data only grows. We are excited to support the Synaptic team as they enhance the accessibility and utility of alternative data.”
Synaptic was incubated as the data and analytics team at Vy Capital, a $6 billion AuM global technology investment company. Born out of the Vy team’s frustration with existing tools and processes, Synaptic was spun out as an independent company in 2016. Previously, the company has raised $6 million in seed and Series A funding from Ribbit Capital, Felicis Ventures, and Vy Capital Management.

UVALDE, Texas — At The Flower Patch in Uvalde, Texas, a group of florists are volunteering to put together flower arrangements for funerals of the 19 children and two teachers killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Store owner Kelly Baker said she's putting aside sunflowers for one of the victims, the daughter of one of her high school classmates. "Their baby's favorite was sunflowers," Baker said.
"As we start making these arrangements, we're going to make sure and save sunflowers for this baby so that her family gets just a tiny bit of what she wanted — or what she would have wanted — for her service," she added.
In a tiny town where most everyone knows someone directly impacted by the deadly shooting, florists like Baker have been flooded with orders for colorful wreaths and arrangements. Funeral services began this week and will continue throughout the middle of June.
"Most arrangements take a good 30 to 45 minutes apiece to make," Baker said. "We are making thousands."
Veronica Berger, owner of Ahr's Flower Shop in LaCoste, Texas, drove about an hour in her flower van to lend a helping hand.
"Florists are the only ones who know how to get through this," Berger said. "It is very hard work but it's very fulfilling. ... When this tragedy happened, we knew exactly what we needed to be doing."
Berger is one of many people who have come to help Baker, who said she's received help in form of donations and physical labor.
"We've probably got about 12 people in there right now designing behind the scenes that y'all don't see," Baker said. "And they're all volunteering from all over the world."
Farms and other shops have also donated their floral supplies, Baker said. Need green lilies? Done. Pink peonies? They are on their way.
"We're very lucky that we have not wanted for a color or a style of flower," Berger said.
In the back room of the store, there are a handful of workstations with greenery on tables and colorful ribbons on the walls. There are buckets of flowers lining the cramped space. It's an organized chaos. On one wall there are names of the victims, with dozens of order forms attached to their names.
Some of the florists chat as they work, and others deliver arrangements to the Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary next door.
Former Uvalde resident Leslie Garza, who is a florist based in San Antonio, drove down to help Baker as soon as she realized how many funerals there would be.
"She's my friend. I knew I had to come. So we're to help her until she's got this under control," Garza said.
On Monday, the community will gather for a rosary and visitation for 10-year-olds Amerie Jo Garza and Maite Yuleana Rodriguez. Rodriguez loved animals and dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, and Garza was passionate about swimming and drawing and hoped to become an art teacher.

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.wlns.com/news/ap-us-news/california-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-decades-later/ | 2022-05-31T12:17:46Z | https://www.wlns.com/news/ap-us-news/california-man-78-gets-high-school-diploma-6-decades-later/ | false | 55 |
Despite the windy and overcast sky, the Columbus community came out to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country during the 2022 Memorial Day program held May 30 at Frankfort Square.
The Rev. Tim White, a retired major Air Force Reserve chaplain, provided the Memorial Day address.
Mike Landkamer, master of ceremonies, said that White grew up near Rhinelander, Wisconsin. White was ordained in 1985 and for the next 36 years served as a pastor for churches in Columbus, Evansville, Wisconsin; and Sioux City, Iowa. Currently White serves as a pastor of two churches in Kimpton, Iowa.
White enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1972, Landkamer added, and served as a communications specialist for seven years.
White told a story of a nurse who, in March 1942, received a package that was mailed before the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl Harbor. She received it several months after the fact.
According to White, when the nurse removed a sheet of tissue paper, she found a “frivolous black hat with a dainty veil.” All those around her broke into laughter, bordering on tears.
People are also reading…
“The war was upon them, the hat symbolized what they all had lost,” White said. “Fears they would never see again cars on paved streets, neighbors saying hello from their front porches, dinners in restaurants with choices on menus, theaters showing popular films and children shouting and playing ball in the schoolyard. …
"Everyone looked most wistfully many with tears brimming or falling, as memories surged and emotions filled. With war being the all-devouring monster it is, they counted their blessings.”
White noted he shared this story because it shows how warfare robs people of what they value and necessitates the sacrifice of comforts.
“Every citizen of this great nation, whether or not they ever think about it, there's a sacred obligation to remember as well as a ponderous debt of gratitude,” White said. “We carry a sacred obligation to lift up and honor those who have fought and died for us. This we do here today, but the obligation remains throughout the year.
"I believe our obligation is best met when we ourselves live sacrificially for the sake of other people. And when we do what we can as citizens to preserve America's freedoms, we dare not let the sacrifices of those who gave the last full measure of devotion go for nothing.”
Landkamer gave the roll call of the dead, which consisted of the names of those who have passed away since the 2021 Memorial Day. Carroll Mohlman displayed the POW/MIA flag on an empty chair to honor prisoners of war and/or those who were missing in action.
Nicholas Zoucha, a Scotus Central Catholic student who is the 2022 Cornhusker Boys State representative, read the Gettysburg address.
The Hartman Post 84 Chorus sang the National Anthem, “God Bless America” and a patriotic medley.
The American Legion Hartman Post 84 Honor Guard provided the advancement of colors, the salute to the dead and the retirement of colors.
The Rev. Joe Miksch of St. Isidore Catholic Church gave the invocation and benediction.
Freedom Flyers also gave a flyover, thanks to Mike Hamernik, Keith Harbour and Kurt Muhle.

MEXICO CITY , May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Financiero Banorte, expanding its support of sustainable financing, announced today that two Banorte subsidiaries will follow an international advisory board's guidelines to help investors access higher quality ESG information for decision-making.
Chairman Carlos Hank González said Afore XXI Banorte and Operadora de Fondos will promote International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) criteria, aimed at developing global benchmarks that respond to the needs of investors and financial markets.
"We are committed to adopting the standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board to make more informed and sustainability-focused investment decisions," he said.
The move by Banorte, the largest Mexican financial institution, comes as investors with global investment portfolios increasingly are seeking high quality, transparent, reliable and comparable reporting by companies on climate and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.
The ISSB helps meet that demand, with a comprehensive global baseline of sustainability-related disclosure standards that provide investors and other capital market participants details about companies' sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
The Banorte subsidiaries, among the country's leading investment fund operators, now will have access to standardized, quantifiable and comparable information on the ESG performance of the companies in which they invest. That can increase the scope of responsible investments and strengthen the investment process for the benefit of each client.
Banorte also offers a string of sustainable consumer-centric financing products, including its recently launched Green Auto Loan, an exclusive loan to purchase hybrid and electric vehicles. It previously endorsed the Principles of Responsible Banking and the UN Net Zero Banking Alliance to promote sustainable consumption practices among its customers.

LGBT activists chant 'Tory scum' at Nadhim Zahawi over his trans comments during uni visit
31 May 2022, 12:26 | Updated: 31 May 2022, 13:08
LGBT+ activists heckled education secretary Nadhim Zahawi with shouts of "Tory scum" as he visited Warwick University.
Listen to this article
Loading audio...
Members of its LGBT+ group Warwick Pride brandished flags and placards as they demonstrated against him during his trip to the university's conservative association.
A statement from the organisation said members were upset at him for his "role" in "institutional transphobia" and because he used the term "adult human female".
Protesters chanted "LGB with the T", "no space for transphobes" and "trans rights are human rights".
Mr Zahawi was taken away by campus security while The Telegraph said a Tory association member was struck on the head by a protester during the ruckus on Friday. He had been on site for about two hours.
Warwick Pride made comments about Kathleen Stock, a former lecturer at the University of Sussex who has been criticised for her views on trans issues, in advance of Mr Zahawi's visit.
The education secretary said it was "unacceptable that a scholar of her calibre should be hounded out of university".
Warwick Pride insisted Mr Zahawi "plays a significant role in institutional transphobia as education secretary for the UK".
It went on to say that Mr Zahawi "trivialises" the effects of outing LGBT+ people to their parents.
He has previously said parents should be "front and centre" in decisions about their trans children.
The group also said he used the "common transphobic dog-whistle 'adult human female'".

Warwick's Conservative Association said it "supports the right to freedom of speech and expression for everyone regardless of political affiliation" and that it was "a shame that, on this occasion, the intention of many protesters was not to express their own views but to prevent the Secretary of State from expressing his".
A Department for Education source told the Telegraph: "This proves the need for the Freedom of Speech Bill and is more evidence against those who say there is no such thing as a chilling culture on campus." | https://www.lbc.co.uk/watch-videos/nadhim-zahawi-protest-warwick-tories/ | 2022-05-31T12:21:58Z | https://www.lbc.co.uk/watch-videos/nadhim-zahawi-protest-warwick-tories/ | true | 1 |
Taiwan Mobile (TWM) awarded a 5G expansion deal to Nokia for its latest energy-efficient AirScale portfolio.
Nokia will provide equipment from its AirScale portfolio, including base stations and massive MIMO antennas to boost network performance and capacity. The deal also covers the introduction of 4G/5G dynamic spectrum sharing to maximize the advantages of TWM’s spectrum assets, which include 700MHz and 2100MHz bands. Nokia will help the operator modernize its LTE infrastructure, as well as consolidate the network management and optimization under a centralized tool for a superior 4G/5G RAN network performance.
Nokia has partnered with TWM for more than 20 years and has previously provided 2G, 3G, and 4G.
TWM currently has over one million 5G subscribers.
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said: “This new extended coverage deal is a testament to the great progress we’ve made in the deployment of 5G services in Taiwan with our long-term partner, Taiwan Mobile as its sole supplier. I am also encouraged to see how our AirScale portfolio is helping to reduce energy consumption and pave the way for a sustainable future.” | https://www.convergedigest.com/2022/05/taiwan-mobile-awards-5g-coverage.html | 2022-05-31T12:24:29Z | https://www.convergedigest.com/2022/05/taiwan-mobile-awards-5g-coverage.html | false | 1 |
Editorial
New political leaders have a lot of listening to do
When the Liberal Party’s new leadership pairing faced the media for the first time on Monday, few would have expected a sudden change of direction. As both Peter Dutton and Sussan Ley pointed out, election defeats take time to process. But a contradiction that has dogged the Coalition in recent years was still very much in evidence.
“My message to the women of Australia is we hear you ... We’re listening, we’re talking, and we are determined to earn back your trust and your faith,” Ley said, acknowledging the defeats handed to Liberals in majority-female inner-city seats across the nation.
But if, to paraphrase the late Helen Reddy, women had roared in numbers too big to ignore, it still didn’t seem to have carried quite far enough. In his comments, Dutton promised that “our policies will be aimed squarely at the forgotten Australians in the suburbs”.
The obvious point to make here is that the Coalition has just lost an election in which Scott Morrison visited one suburban electorate after another in high-vis clothes or aprons to speak to those he termed “the quiet Australians”, in the vain hope that a combination of suburban, rural and regional votes would carry the day against losses in the capital cities.
But there is a deeper issue, summed up most vividly by state Liberal member for Kew Tim Smith’s scathing assessment of the Coalition’s campaign. “The people of Kooyong, Wentworth, Goldstein, North Sydney and Mackellar aren’t forgotten or quiet. They are loud, entitled, and privileged,” he wrote recently, fondly recalling the days when places like North Balwyn were “resolutely quiet”.
The contempt in this rhetoric is reserved for people – Smith’s own constituents – who raise their voices about any issue beyond their domestic space. School strikes for climate? Women marching on Parliament House? Those who want a federal anti-corruption commission? Our First Nations people and those who support them seeking a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous Voice to parliament? All this is written off as “woke” posturing and “noise” made by people whom the Coalition disparaged in its last term as those frequenting the “wine bars of our inner cities”.
The priorities of the “forgotten people,” on the other hand, are the cost of living, housing affordability, transport infrastructure and (who could forget) “jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs”, and so, Dutton told 3AW’s Neil Mitchell on Tuesday, they will be his. Let’s be clear: all the latter are crucial policy areas. But erecting false divisions between people has done harm to our ability to find policy solutions to our problems. If the multicoloured parliament we have elected is to be a success, the new government must take a more enlightened approach.
By choosing David Littleproud as their new leader, the Nationals seem to have decided that rural communities are better served by political co-operation than ideological combat with their compatriots in the cities. Time will tell if the rifts within the party and between it and its Coalition partner can be overcome.
The greatest leadership challenge of all is that facing new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The unprecedented number of crossbenchers – and the perception that the “teal” independents and resurgent Greens ran on broadly similar platforms regarding climate change and federal corruption – have already led to suggestions that Labor will need to beef up its offering in these policy areas. It is an idea ALP sources have sought to hose down, emphasising the importance of commitments made during the campaign.
But as Albanese should know, governing is different from campaigning, and can take leaders in directions they didn’t anticipate. Labor has achieved a majority in the House of Representatives, but it won with a modest primary vote and a large crossbench. The electorate is not in the mood for absolutes.
The Prime Minister has said Australians voted for change. But he has also talked about looking outward and changing the way politics is done. That will require all those sitting in the 47th parliament to set aside talk of “quiet” and “noisy” Australians, to listen patiently across all groups and to engage honestly with what they hear.

Ever since Manchester United appointed Erik Ten Hag, the club has been linked with Hag’s former protégé Dutch star Frenkie de Jong who currently plies his trade for Barcelona.
With United coming off a rather underwhelming season, calls for a complete squad upheaval have been increasing. This is where De Jong comes in and according to reports Ten Hag has identified him as a priority signing in order to sure up United’s clunky midfield.
The star, however, remained pretty vague when he talked to AD.nl, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. “Of course I hear about the links to Manchester United, but the people in charge of Barça didn’t tell me anything,” he said.

“So then I will assume that there is no agreement, nothing to worry about. Contacts with ten Hag? I won’t tell you this,” he said, adding more fire to the speculation.
In the same interview, he said that Barcelona didn’t tell tell him anything. “They didn’t propose anything to me,” he added.
De Jong had also told ESPN that he preferred to stay in Barcelona and he did not want to indulge in rumours.

Manchester United are still pushing for Frenkie but he wants Champions League football. Nothing has changed, as of now.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 31, 2022
A big roadblock standing in the deal is that De Jong wants Champions League football but United are playing the Europa League this season.
But in an apparent boost to United, the Blaugrana’s president Joan Laporta has addressed the issue directly and admitted that the Dutchman may have to be sold in the summer transfer window due to Barcelona being strapped for cash.
As quoted by The Mirror, Laporta said, “He has a lot of quality, he knows our system and he’s a player we think should continue at Barça. But it’s also true that he’s a highly coveted player and we have had proposals from others. Right now, everything is open. It will depend a lot on the issue of fair play.”

Unite members working as drivers, mill operators and engineers at the Moneynick Road feed mill have rejected Moy Park management’s attempts to tie a pay parity deal to removal of wider terms and conditions, the union has claimed.
Unite says that workers at the Moneynick Road site are currently paid less per hour than workers doing similar work at other Moy Park sites but that the employer says that any movement to end unfavourable pay rates must be tied to workers’ losing holiday and special day premiums – which are also paid at other sites.
The union says that strike action at the mill is set to start from 7am on Monday June 6.
The approximate workforce of 40 who work at the mill produce chicken feed for thousands of farms supplying Moy Park across Northern Ireland. Unite is warning that the company’s “greed” is attacking members’ wages and putting animal welfare at risk.
The union says Moy Park group made an operating profit of £86 million last year with the total package paid to its highest paid director worth £924,000.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham, offered her full support to the workers.
“Moy Park wants to give with one hand but grab back more with the other and that’s just not acceptable to Unite,” she said.
“This company can well afford to pay fairly. Our members are saying loud and clear that they will not put up with any attacks on terms and conditions, and that those working at the feed mill should be paid the same as their colleagues working elsewhere within the business.
“Unite’s members have the full backing of their union in taking strike action to win themselves pay parity.”
Regional Unite officer Sean McKeever added: “Moy Park needs to recognise the determination of this workforce at Moneynick to end pay inequality with other sites. In the absence of movement, this strike is going ahead on Monday from 7am and will shut down production at this critical site. Even if Moy Park can source alternative supplies, there will undoubtedly be an impact for farming in Northern Ireland. The company’s greed is not just harming our members but harming animal welfare too.
“Management know what is needed to avert this strike – they need to return to the table with a no-strings offer to guarantee pay parity for these workers.”
A spokesperson at Moy Park said; “Following the successful completion of pay negotiations, which were balloted on and accepted by Unite members, we are disappointed to be notified of strike action by Unite the Union. The new pay award, representing an increase of 8.6% on all basic rates and shift allowances, has been payable from 1st April 2022. The proposed strike by up to 19 Unite members at the Mill will not disrupt our operations or customer service levels.” | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/business/moy-park-78-of-feed-mill-employees-with-chicken-producer-vote-to-strike-over-pay-and-holiday-premiums-says-trade-union-unite-3715490 | 2022-05-31T12:28:18Z | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/business/moy-park-78-of-feed-mill-employees-with-chicken-producer-vote-to-strike-over-pay-and-holiday-premiums-says-trade-union-unite-3715490 | false | 2 |

Tesla second quarter delivery estimates still look too high. Shanghai remains the main reason, but Wall Street deserves some blame too.
Tuesday, Bloomberg reported Tesla (ticker: TSLA) will continue to operate its Shanghai facility in a closed loop setting until early June, with workers isolated from the outside world because of local Covid restrictions. Monday, Bloomberg reported the plant was back at about 70% of its design capacity.

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 28,000 cases of multiple sclerosis reported to the Department of Veterans Affairs annually, Paralyzed Veterans of America – the nation's premier nonprofit of choice for disabled veterans, their families, and caregivers – is expanding its membership as medical technology advances early detection of MS, inviting all veterans with MS to join.
According to Charles Brown, national president of Paralyzed Veterans of America, "PVA has long helped veterans with MS involving the spinal cord who needed quality health care and disability benefits due to their diagnosis. Our National Service Officers are experts in securing their benefits, navigating the VA system, and helping these veterans throughout their continuum of care. It's important we keep pace with the improvements in MRI technology, which provides more precise imaging resulting in the early detection of MS. We want to help even more veterans living with the disease and become their go-to resource."
The membership expansion means all Veterans with MS are now eligible to become a PVA member and obtain the same vital benefits as their counterparts with spinal cord injuries and diseases, like ALS. Among the benefits now available are: access to educational materials specific to MS; support from on-staff licensed architects who can review plans and provide subject matter expertise for making their homes more accessible; admission to PVA's private, members-only Facebook Groups that keep members abreast of important news that impact them; engagement with over 33 chapters across the country that support advocacy efforts specific to the MS community; and opportunities to take part in important surveys and webinars, as well as participate in sports and recreation events both virtually and in-person around the country.
"Every case of MS reported is a person… a mother, a father, a son, a daughter, a proud Veteran, who selflessly served our nation, and they deserve our care and support now," continued Brown. "By expanding PVA's membership, we are not only helping more veterans but also honoring our roots, recognizing veterans like Gilford Moss – PVA's first president, who also had MS. We want all veterans with MS, from those actively serving to those who already served, to know that PVA is here and they are not alone."
In August 2021, PVA created its first-ever MS Committee – a permanent committee of the Board of Directors – made up of eight PVA members from across the country who represent the everyday interests of veterans with MS. The committee acts as a voice on legislative issues concerning veterans with MS; provides first-hand input from its members with MS; puts out a weekly podcast on issues specific to those with MS; and serves as an expert resource for all veterans living with the disease. In addition to its committee and advocacy efforts, PVA also partners with expert groups in the field of MS, including the National MS Society and the VA's Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence.

Paralyzed Veterans of America is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the only congressionally chartered veterans service organization dedicated solely for the benefit and representation of veterans with spinal cord injury or disease like MS and ALS. For 75 years, the organization has ensured that veterans receive the benefits earned through service to our nation; monitored their care in VA spinal cord injury units; and funded research and education in the search for a cure and improved care for individuals with paralysis.
As a life-long partner and advocate for veterans and all people with disabilities, Paralyzed Veterans of America also develops training and career services, works to ensure accessibility in public buildings and spaces, and provides health and rehabilitation opportunities through sports and recreation. With more than 70 offices and 33 chapters, Paralyzed Veterans of America serves veterans, their families, and their caregivers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — The blame for an excruciating delay in killing the gunman at a Texas elementary school — even as parents outside begged police to rush in and panicked children called 911 from inside — has been placed with the school district’s homegrown police chief.
It’s left residents in the small city of Uvalde struggling to reconcile what they know of the well-liked local lawman after the director of state police said that the commander at the scene — Pete Arredondo — made the “wrong decision” not to breach a classroom at Robb Elementary School sooner, believing the gunman was barricaded inside and children weren’t at risk.
Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at the Friday news conference that after following the gunman into the building, officers waited over an hour to breach the classroom. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the shooting.
Arredondo, who grew up in Uvalde and graduated from high school here, was set to be sworn in Tuesday to his new spot on the City Council after being elected earlier this month. The 50-year-old has spent much of a nearly 30-year career in law enforcement in Uvalde, returning in 2020 to take the head police job at the school district.
When Arredondo was a boy, Maria Gonzalez used to drive him and her children to the same school where the shooting happened. “He was a good boy,” she said.
“He dropped the ball maybe because he did not have enough experience. Who knows? People are very angry,” Gonzalez said.
Another woman in the neighborhood where Arredondo grew up began sobbing when asked about him. The woman, who didn’t want to give her name, said one of her granddaughters was at the school during the shooting but wasn’t hurt.
Juan Torres, a U.S. Army veteran who was visibly upset with reports coming out about the response, said he knew Arredondo from high school.
“You sign up to respond to those kinds of situations” Torres said. “If you are scared, then don’t be a police officer. Go flip burgers.”
After his election to the City Council, Arredondo told the Uvalde Leader-News earlier this month that he was “ready to hit the ground running.”
“I have plenty of ideas, and I definitely have plenty of drive,” he said, adding he wanted to focus not only on the city being fiscally responsible but also making sure street repairs and beautification projects happen.
At a candidates’ forum before his election, Arredondo said: “I guess to me nothing is complicated. Everything has a solution. That solution starts with communication. Communication is key.”
McCraw said Friday that minutes after the gunman entered the school, city police officers entered through the same door. Over the course of more than an hour, law enforcement from multiple agencies arrived on the scene. Finally, officials said, a U.S. Border Patrol tactical team used a janitor’s key to unlock the classroom door and kill the gunman.
McCraw said that students and teachers had repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while Arredondo told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway. That directive — which goes against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers didn’t act faster.
Two law enforcement officials have said that as the gunman fired at students, law enforcement officers from other agencies urged Arredondo to let them move in because children were in danger, The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to talk publicly about the investigation.
Arredondo started out his career in law enforcement working for the Uvalde Police Department. After spending 16 years there, he went to Laredo, a border city located 130 miles (209 kilometers) miles to the south, where he worked at the Webb County Sheriff’s Office and then for a local school district, according to a 2020 article in the Uvalde Leader-News on his return to his hometown to take the school district police chief job.
Ray Garner, the police chief of the district in Laredo where Arredondo worked, told the San Antonio Express-News in a story published after the Uvalde shooting that when Arredondo worked in the Laredo district he was “easy to talk to” and was concerned about the students.
“He was an excellent officer down here,” Garner told the newspaper . “Down here, we do a lot of training on active-shooter scenarios, and he was involved in those.”
Arredondo, who spoke only briefly at two short news conferences on the day of the shooting, appeared behind state officials speaking at news conferences over the next two days, but was not present at McCraw’s Friday news conference.
After that news conference, members of the media converged at Arredondo’s home and police cruisers took up posts there. At one point, a man answering the door at Arredondo’s house told a reporter for The Associated Press that Arredondo was “indisposed.”
“The truth will come out,” said the man before closing the door.
State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat whose district includes Uvalde, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he’s asking a lot of questions after “so many things went wrong.”
He said one family told him that a first responder told them that their child, who was shot in the back, likely bled out. “So, absolutely, these mistakes may have led to the passing away of these children as well,” Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez said while issue of which law enforcement agency had or should have had operational control is a “significant” concern of his, he’s also “suggested” to McCraw “that it’s not fair to put it on the local (school district) cop.”
“At the end of the day, everybody failed here,” Gutierrez said. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/national-world/very-angry-uvalde-residents-grapple-with-role-school-districts-police-chief-played/ | 2022-05-31T12:30:38Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/national-world/very-angry-uvalde-residents-grapple-with-role-school-districts-police-chief-played/ | false | 38 |
New Delhi: 7th Pay Commission Latest update-- Government may bring in some more good news for the employees in the month of July by announcing another round of Dearness Allowance (DA) hike, media reports have said. If reports are to be believed, there could be a further four percent hike in DA. This means the total DA could reach upo 38 percent. The Dearness Allowance of central government employees is revised twice a year. The first is given from January to June, while the second comes from July to December.
The first increase in dearness allowance for the year 2022 was announced in March. Latest media reports are stating that the next revision in July is likely due to the increase in the AICP Index. In December 2021, the AICPI figure stood at 125.4. But, in January 2022, it declined by 0.3 points and fell to 125.1. The All-India CPI-IW for February, 2022 decreased by 0.1 points and stood at 125.0 (one hundred twenty five). On 1-month percentage change, it decreased by 0.08 per cent with respect to previous month compared to increase of 0.68 per cent recorded between corresponding months a year ago. For the month of March, there was a jump of 1 point. The AICPI index figures for March stands at 126. The AICP numbers for April-May and June are yet to come. If this figure goes above 126, then the government can increase the DA by 4%.
March AICPI index figures, which is instrumental in DA revision decision, have shown promise for a DA hike. The DA hike could come around 4 percent in July-August period, although the ACPI figures of the coming three months i.e April, May, June is yet to be ascertained.
It may be recalled that the Union Cabinet had on March 30 hiked Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) by 3 per cent to 34 per cent to compensate for the price rise, benefitting over 1.16 crore central government employees and pensioners.
The additional instalment is be effective from January 1, 2022. The increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission. With the recent announcement, the hope for the next DA hike, which usually is stipulated for the month of July, has also taken pace. However, one bad news could be that the DA hike, scheduled for July may not be announced. | https://zeenews.india.com/personal-finance/7th-pay-commission-da-level-to-reach-upto-38-from-july-1-read-reports-likely-da-hike-2469115.html | 2022-05-31T12:31:22Z | https://zeenews.india.com/personal-finance/7th-pay-commission-da-level-to-reach-upto-38-from-july-1-read-reports-likely-da-hike-2469115.html | false | 7 |
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A 19-year-old man has been killed and six other people were wounded during a shooting at a club and liquor store in southwestern Michigan's Benton Harbor.

The wounded were treated at an area hospital.
Officers found multiple shell casings of various calibers, but none of the people at the scene of the shooting have come forward to give statements to police, the department said.

The former Executive secretary of the North-East Governors’ Forum, Senator Muhammed Abba-Aji has said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC is duty-bound to pick its presidential candidate from the Southern region of the country.
Abba-Aji noted that it is the turn of the South to produce the next Nigerian president after the expiration of the eight-year tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, a Northerner, in 2023.
The Coordinator of the Osinbajo North-East campaign made this disclosure on Monday, May 30, 2022, during a live programme on Arise TV News channel.
He advised the party to support the candidacy of the Vice President Osinbajo to emerge as the party’s presidential flag bearer being the best and most competent among his fellow Southern contenders.
He added that Osinbajo is best suited for the top job noting that the VP has performed credibly both as Vice President and Acting President, saying Osinbajo should get the nod to allow “a seamless transition of government which is very important for the stability of the country.”
Muhammed Abba-Aji said the South-West region remains the best bet for the APC to consider given the great number of votes that came from the region towards the victory of the party at the 2015 and 2019 polls.
According to him, “When you increase the precision of your look to the South to check the chances of those in the South, seeking this office, then you will find that it will make another sense for the candidate to emerge from the South-West, that is because the South-West has given the APC much more votes than the South-South and South-East put together in the last election.”
“It will make a lot of sense there to seek the candidate from the South-West. Now when you go to the South-West and find about the three of them now, then you look again and find that PYO is currently a VP, he has been for about seven years now and has performed credibly both as VP and Acting President.
“In order to allow seamless transition, it is very important to choose PYO for the stability of our country. It is good for the transition to be seamless and you take Prof Yemi Osinbajo” Abba-Aji said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kirkland's, Inc. (Nasdaq: KIRK) ("Kirkland's Home" or the "Company"), a specialty retailer of home décor and furnishings, announced financial results for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022.
- Net sales were $103.3 million, with comparable sales decreasing 15.8%.
- Gross profit margin of 27.4%.
- GAAP loss per diluted share of $0.63 and adjusted loss per diluted share of $0.62.
- Adjusted EBITDA of negative $5.8 million.
- Ended the period with a cash balance of $5.4 million, $35.0 million in outstanding debt and total liquidity of $45.4 million.
- Repurchased $6.3 million of shares in the quarter, or 3.8% of the Company's outstanding shares.
- Closed one store to end the quarter with 360 stores.
"Our first quarter 2022 results reflect continued macroeconomic headwinds hampering consumer demand for home décor and furnishings," said Steve "Woody" Woodward, president and CEO of Kirkland's Home. "We were impacted by the shift in consumer spending stemming from rising interest rates, inflationary pressures and geopolitical conflicts that adversely affected our customer traffic and sales. We also continued to deal with constraints across the supply chain, particularly heightened freight and transportation costs, which pressured our margins. While we are disappointed with our results, we are still executing upon our long-term transformation strategy and making progress in areas that are within our control.
"We are in the early innings of our initial test marketing campaigns, and we intend to use the curated data to further engage with new and existing customers at the appropriate time. Our in-home delivery is set to launch in the second quarter, boosting our omni-channel capabilities and improving our ability to support customers looking to purchase larger items, such as furniture. Given our strong inventory position, we aim to be opportunistic with promotional activities to spur consumer activity and highlight the progress we've made with our improved merchandise assortment.
"While we believe the challenging near-term outlook on consumer demand for home furnishings will continue to pressure our results, we remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver upon the key strategic initiatives laid out within our transformation strategy. However, given the constraints the current macroenvironment presents for consumers, we are suspending the timelines in which we hope to achieve our long-term financial targets. We plan to be disciplined with our operational expenses and prudently manage our balance sheet and cash position in this environment. We are confident that our team is capable of adapting to these challenges and executing on our core principles to continue transforming Kirkland's Home into a premier specialty home furnishing retailer."
Net sales in the first quarter of 2022 were $103.3 million, compared to $123.6 million in the prior year quarter. Comparable same-store sales decreased 15.8%, including a 23.6% decline in e-commerce sales. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in traffic and conversion in stores and online due to macroeconomic conditions impacting the home furnishing industry.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2022 was $28.3 million, or 27.4% of net sales, compared to $40.3 million, or 32.6% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily a result of the cost impact from global supply chain constraints, including an increase in freight costs, along with the aforementioned decline in net sales.
Operating loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $11.1 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily a result of the aforementioned decline in net sales and increase in freight and supply chain costs, along with higher store payroll related expenses.
EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 was a loss of $6.6 million compared to income of $7.3 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 was a loss of $5.8 million compared to income of $7.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $7.9 million, or $0.63 loss per diluted share, compared to income of $1.7 million, or $0.11 earnings per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $7.7 million, or $0.62 loss per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 earnings per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 480,000 shares for $6.3 million at an average cost of $13.03 per share.
At April 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $5.4 million and total liquidity of $45.4 million, with $35.0 million of outstanding debt under its $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
As Kirkland's Home continues to slow the pace of its merchandise-driven transformation strategy due to current macroenvironment conditions affecting consumer sentiment, the Company is suspending its timelines to achieve the long-term financial targets for gross profit margin, EBITDA as a percentage of sales and operating income as a percentage of sales.
Kirkland's Home key strategic initiatives continue to include:
- Accelerating product development to reinforce quality and relevancy as the Company continues its transformation into a specialty retailer where customers are able to furnish their entire home on a budget;
- Bolstering its omni-channel strategy via website enhancements, more focused marketing spend, an expanded online assortment, and an improved in-store experience;
- Improving the customer experience with the Company's re-launched loyalty program, extended credit options and broadened delivery options; and
- Utilizing its leaner infrastructure to be nimbler to changes in consumer preference and buying behaviors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share. These measures are not in accordance with, and are not intended as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that they provide useful information to analysts and investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company's operational performance.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, provision for income tax, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA with non-GAAP adjustments and adjusted operating (loss) income as operating (loss) income with non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share by adjusting the applicable GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP adjustments.
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
The following table shows a reconciliation of operating (loss) income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating (loss) income for the 13-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 and a reconciliation of net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per share to adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share for the 13-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021:

The American Society for Testing and Materials is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services.
Miller will serve as the Chairman of the most prominent task group within the window, door, and skylight subcommittee at ASTM. The group is tasked with overseeing the development of the ASTM E1886 and E1996 standards, which are global standards that set the criteria for performance of exterior windows, curtain walls, doors, and impact protective systems impacted by windborne debris in hurricanes.
The ASTM E1886/E1996 standards are adopted by the International Building Code, International Residential Code, Florida Building Code, and many other codes worldwide. The standard is critically important in hurricane-prone regions.
“I am truly honored to have been chosen as Chairman of this esteemed task group,” said Miller. “I look forward to working with the other task group members as we continuously strive to refine these standards for building envelope products to better protect our citizens and buildings from the destructive forces of hurricanes.”
Miller joined PGT Innovations, a national leader in the premium window and door category, in 2010. In his current role, he oversees the preparation of all PGTI product certification documents, including structural calculations, test planning, and verification of testing protocols. He also provides project-specific engineering services for PGTI products.
“We are incredibly proud of Lynn's appointment to this ASTM task group that is critical to the development of the impact standards which help protect individuals and secure buildings across the United States," said Jeff Jackson, President and CEO of PGT Innovations. "At PGT Innovations, we are fortunate to have a number of our team members extend their talents for the improvement of the fenestration industry and to continue innovating to create stronger, safer buildings and homes.”
Miller holds a master’s and bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of South Florida and is a registered professional engineer in Florida and Texas. He is a voting member of the ASCE 7-22 wind load subcommittee and is actively involved in various fenestration task groups at ASTM and FGIA. He also serves as President of the Southeast Region of FGIA.

ENEL AMÉRICAS ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY DELISTING OF ITS AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
SANTIAGO, Chile, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ENEL AMÉRICAS S.A. (NYSE: ENIA) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") from The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), termination of its American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") facility and deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") upon satisfaction of the requirements for deregistration. In connection with its intended delisting, Enel Américas notified the NYSE today that it will apply for voluntary delisting of its ADSs and has requested that the ADSs be suspended from trading on June 20, 2022. As a result, the last day of trading for the ADSs on the NYSE is expected to be on June 19, 2022.
1. Reasons for the Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADSs from the NYSE
Following the merger transaction and related tender offer that occurred in April 2021, its parent company, Enel S.p.A., now owns 82.3% of the total outstanding shares of Enel Américas' common stock and Enel Américas ADSs as of April 30, 2022 comprise only approximately 2.49% of the total outstanding shares of common stock. Enel Américas believes that the costs associated with continuing the listing of its ADSs on the NYSE exceed the benefits received by the company, as the primary market for the shares of Enel Américas not owned by Enel S.p.A. is now the Santiago Stock Exchange. As a result, Enel Américas has decided to file an application for voluntary delisting from the NYSE as part of its effort to reduce operational expenses.
2. Stock Exchanges on Which Enel Américas will Maintain its Listings
Enel Américas will maintain its listings on the Santiago Stock Exchange and the Chile Electronic Stock Exchange in Chile. Enel Américas has not otherwise arranged for the listing of the ADSs, ADRs or shares of its common stock on another national securities exchange in the United States or for quotation of such securities in any other quotation system.
3. Implementation Schedule of Application for Voluntary Delisting of ADSs from the NYSE*
* The schedule provided above, including the anticipated effective dates, may be delayed if the SEC objects to the delisting or requests an extended review or for other reasons.
4. Additional Information for ADS Holders
Enel Américas will direct Citibank, N.A., as depositary ("Citibank"), to terminate Enel Américas' ADR facility. Consequently, and in accordance with the deposit agreement, Citibank will provide at least 30 days' notice of termination to all ADS holders. Prior to termination of the deposit agreement, ADR holders are entitled to surrender their ADSs to Citibank for cancellation, and upon payment of the applicable fees, taxes and charges as provided in the deposit agreement, receive the underlying shares of common stock of Enel Américas. Following termination of the deposit agreement, Citibank will discontinue registration of transfers of the ADSs and suspend the distribution of dividends to ADS holders. Holders of ADSs should contact Citibank or, to the extent holding ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee, should contact such bank, broker or nominee with any questions regarding the ADSs.

Shareholder Services representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time in the U.S.
5. Future Actions
Enel Américas' reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws are expected to continue after the delisting from the NYSE and termination of the ADR facility. Following satisfaction of the relevant deregistration conditions under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws, Enel Américas intends to terminate its reporting obligations under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws and to deregister all classes of its registered securities. Enel Américas intends to release further information on such deregistration and termination of reporting obligations at a later date.
Enel Américas reserves the right, for any reason, to delay any of the filings described above, to withdraw them prior to effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in respect of delisting, termination of the ADR facility and deregistration and termination of its reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws in any way.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — The blame for an excruciating delay in killing the gunman at a Texas elementary school — even as parents outside begged police to rush in and panicked children called 911 from inside — has been placed with the school district’s homegrown police chief.
It’s left residents in the small city of Uvalde struggling to reconcile what they know of the well-liked local lawman after the director of state police said that the commander at the scene — Pete Arredondo — made the “wrong decision” last week not to breach a classroom at Robb Elementary School sooner, believing the gunman was barricaded inside and children weren’t at risk.
Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at the Friday news conference that after following the gunman into the building, officers waited over an hour to breach the classroom. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the shooting.
Arredondo, who grew up in Uvalde and graduated from high school here, was set to be sworn in Tuesday to his new spot on the City Council after being elected earlier this month, but Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a statement Monday that wouldn’t happen. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the swearing-in would happen privately or at a later date.
“Pete Arredondo was duly elected to the City Council,” McLaughlin said in the statement. “There is nothing in the City Charter, Election Code, or Texas Constitution that prohibits him from taking the oath of office.”
The 50-year-old Arredondo has spent much of a nearly 30-year career in law enforcement in Uvalde, returning in 2020 to take the head police job at the school district.
When Arredondo was a boy, Maria Gonzalez used to drive him and her children to the same school where the shooting happened. “He was a good boy,” she said.
“He dropped the ball maybe because he did not have enough experience. Who knows? People are very angry,” Gonzalez said.
Another woman in the neighborhood where Arredondo grew up began sobbing when asked about him. The woman, who didn’t want to give her name, said one of her granddaughters was at the school during the shooting but wasn’t hurt.
Juan Torres, a U.S. Army veteran who was visibly upset with reports coming out about the response, said he knew Arredondo from high school.
“You sign up to respond to those kinds of situations” Torres said. “If you are scared, then don’t be a police officer. Go flip burgers.”
After his election to the City Council, Arredondo told the Uvalde Leader-News earlier this month that he was “ready to hit the ground running.”
“I have plenty of ideas, and I definitely have plenty of drive,” he said, adding he wanted to focus not only on the city being fiscally responsible but also making sure street repairs and beautification projects happen.
At a candidates’ forum before his election, Arredondo said: “I guess to me nothing is complicated. Everything has a solution. That solution starts with communication. Communication is key.”
McCraw said Friday that minutes after the gunman entered the school, city police officers entered through the same door. Over the course of more than an hour, law enforcement from multiple agencies arrived on the scene. Finally, officials said, a U.S. Border Patrol tactical team used a janitor’s key to unlock the classroom door and kill the gunman.
McCraw said that students and teachers had repeatedly begged 911 operators for help while Arredondo told more than a dozen officers to wait in a hallway. That directive — which goes against established active-shooter protocols — prompted questions about whether more lives were lost because officers didn’t act faster.
Two law enforcement officials have said that as the gunman fired at students, law enforcement officers from other agencies urged Arredondo to let them move in because children were in danger, The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to talk publicly about the investigation.
Arredondo started out his career in law enforcement working for the Uvalde Police Department. After spending 16 years there, he went to Laredo, a border city located 130 miles (209 kilometers) miles to the south, where he worked at the Webb County Sheriff’s Office and then for a local school district, according to a 2020 article in the Uvalde Leader-News on his return to his hometown to take the school district police chief job.
Ray Garner, the police chief of the district in Laredo where Arredondo worked, told the San Antonio Express-News in a story published after the Uvalde shooting that when Arredondo worked in the Laredo district he was “easy to talk to” and was concerned about the students.
“He was an excellent officer down here,” Garner told the newspaper . “Down here, we do a lot of training on active-shooter scenarios, and he was involved in those.”
Arredondo, who spoke only briefly at two short news conferences on the day of the shooting, appeared behind state officials speaking at news conferences over the next two days, but was not present at McCraw’s Friday news conference.
After that news conference, members of the media converged at Arredondo’s home and police cruisers took up posts there. At one point, a man answering the door at Arredondo’s house told a reporter for The Associated Press that Arredondo was “indisposed.”
“The truth will come out,” said the man before closing the door.
State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat whose district includes Uvalde, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he’s asking a lot of questions after “so many things went wrong.”
He said one family told him that a first responder told them that their child, who was shot in the back, likely bled out. “So, absolutely, these mistakes may have led to the passing away of these children as well,” Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez said while issue of which law enforcement agency had or should have had operational control is a “significant” concern of his, he’s also “suggested” to McCraw “that it’s not fair to put it on the local (school district) cop.”
“At the end of the day, everybody failed here,” Gutierrez said.

HONG KONG, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) ("BIT Mining" or the "Company"), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today announced it has successfully completed the first closing of its previously announced share exchange agreement dated April 5, 2021 (as amended and restated in April 2022, the "Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement") entered into by the Company and the shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") of Bee Computing (HK) Limited ("Bee Computing"). At the first closing of the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement, the Company today issued 16,038,930 of its Class A ordinary shares to the Selling Shareholders. The first closing occurred following the satisfaction or waiver of certain required closing conditions, including, among others, Bee Computing's completion of certain reorganization steps and other customary conditions.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement, the Company shall issue (i) up to 18,330,210 of its Class A ordinary shares to the Selling Shareholders, and (ii) up to 4,582,560 of its Class A ordinary shares to certain research and development team members, subject to achievement of the following milestones:
- Development and mass-production of a new generation of Bitcoin mining machines incorporating 7-nanometer application specific integrated circuits ("ASICs");
- Successful development of high-performance and mass-producible Ethereum ASIC mining machines, with certain power consumption and cost control targets; and
- Successful development of high-performance and mass-producible LTC ASIC mining machines.
Bee Computing was established in 2018 and specializes in the development and manufacture of cryptocurrency mining chips and mining machines for different cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH and LTC. Bee Computing has successfully mass produced over 15,000 units of supercomputing mining machines, equipped with 7-nanometer E2P chips. Currently, Bee Computing is in the process of developing three types of mining machines, including a new generation of Bitcoin mining machines, ETC and LTC mining chips and mining machines.
The new generation of Bitcoin mining machines will also be equipped with 7-nanometer chips and have theoretical computing power of up to 110 TH/s with a power consumption of 3,300W. The ETC mining machines have completed a successful IC design, using Wafer-over-Wafer (WoW) 3-D packaging techniques. This niche IC packing technology would increase the mining machines' theoretical computing power up to 1.44 GH/s per machine, potentially making it one of the leading mining machines in terms of processing ability. Lastly, the LTC mining machines are also under development, with a planned computing power of 3,000 MH/s and power consumption of 1,800W.
"We are pleased to announce the first closing of our Bee Computing acquisition and are excited about the progress Bee Computing has made in developing and manufacturing cryptocurrency mining chips and machines," commented Mr. Xianfeng Yang, CEO of BIT Mining. "Bee Computing has a unique R&D team which continues to achieve remarkable milestones. Going forward, we plan to devote additional resources to assist Bee Computing in its development and manufacture of more mainstream cryptocurrency mining chips and machines with increasingly cost-effective performance advantages. We believe its capabilities will optimize our product offerings and further enhance our position along the blockchain industry value chain."

The number of confirmed cases of Monkeypox in Northern Ireland has risen to two, as of May 30, the Public Health Agency has said.
While the risk to the Northern Ireland population remains low, people are being asked to be alert to any new rashes or lesions, which would appear like spots, ulcers or blisters, on any part of their body.
A spokesperson for the PHA has reminded those who think they have been at risk of exposure to monkeypox and have symptoms to phone first and not to go to a healthcare facility without contacting them first.

They said: "As of the 30 May the number of confirmed cases in Northern Ireland is two. To protect patient confidentiality, no further details relating to the patients will be disclosed. It was not unexpected to have confirmed cases following the presence of monkeypox cases elsewhere in the UK.
"Although this advice applies to everyone, the majority of the cases identified to date have been among men who are gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men, so we are asking these people in particular to be aware of the symptoms, particularly if they have recently had a new sexual partner.
"You should phone your local GUM clinic or healthcare provider immediately if you have a rash with blisters and either, you:
- have been in close contact with someone who has or might have monkeypox (even if they have not been tested yet) in the past 3 weeks
- have been to west or central Africa in the past 3 weeks
- are a man who has sex with men
"Tell the person you speak to if you have had close contact with someone who has or might have monkeypox, or if you’ve recently travelled to central or west Africa.
"Do not go to a GUM clinic or other healthcare facility without contacting them first. Stay at home and avoid close contact with other people until you’ve been told what to do."
Dr Jillian Johnston, Joint Interim Assistant Director in Health Protection at the PHA added: "Following the detection of cases of monkeypox in other parts of the UK the PHA has been in regular contact with UKHSA regarding the situation and we established a local multidisciplinary incident management team (IMT) to ensure that we are fully prepared for any potential risk to the population of Northern Ireland.
"The PHA has been working closely with Trusts and GPs to raise awareness of the disease, and set up testing arrangements and clinical pathways.
"Cases of monkeypox are rare as the virus does not spread easily between people; therefore the risk to the Northern Ireland population is considered low.
"Appropriate public health actions are being taken and the PHA is working with UKHSA to investigate any potential links with UK cases and we will contact any potential close contacts to provide health information and advice."
Are you concerned about the spread of Monkeypox? Let us know in the comments section
Suspected and confirmed cases should self-isolate for 21 days and people identified as having the closest contact will be recommended to self-isolate for 21 days from last contact with the case.
Those with the closest contact to the case will be offered vaccination with the smallpox vaccine, to offer them protection.
Initial symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion.
A rash can develop, often beginning on the face, then spreading to other parts of the body including the genitals.
The rash changes and goes through different stages – it can look like chickenpox or syphilis, before finally forming a scab which later falls off.

Government owes NABCO trainees 7 months allowance
NABCO trainees to demonstrate over unpaid allowances
NABCO trainees lament rising cost of living
The Coalition of NABCO Trainees Association has described government as 'being cowardly' in addressing issues concerning them.
According to them, government should come up with a clear-cut plan for NABCO, whether the programme will continue or not.
Patron of the Coalition of NABCO Trainees Association, Nana Barima Asamoah in an interview on Accra-based 3FM called on government to declare its explicit position on NABCO.
“The position of the coalition is that the government is just being cowardly. It is time for the government must be truthful to the public and declare an explicit position on NABCO. We are calling on the government to come out to tell us its financial capacity and plans for the Program.”
The patron also noted the fact that there is no legal regime or no proper terms of reference of the scheme, allows for various anomalies to occur.
However, he added that failure by government to settle their allowances by June 10, 2022 will force them to embark on a demonstration to demand payment.
“We were informed by the national secretariat in November 2021 to stay at post. Since last year November we have been at the post, we have been working assiduously but the problem is that since that time up to date, we have not received any stipend”
Barima Asamoah however stated that the current state of economic affairs puts the trainees whose allowances have not been paid in a bad state as they struggle to make ends meet.
“We the NABCO trainees are graduates of principles and we are going to embark on a massive and precedent demonstration. Initially, some of the NABCO trainees did not buy into the civil actions we were embarking on but the realities of the increasing hardships have made those trainees who were blinded by party politics are awake and willing to display their pleasure”.
