David O’Meara is looking forward to taking Maria Branwell to Royal Ascot for the Queen Mary Stakes following her game win at Sandown.
The James Garfield filly maintained her unbeaten record in the National Stakes by reeling in Michael O’Callaghan’s Crispy Cat – who brought solid credentials to the Listed event – deep inside the final furlong.
While she will undoubtedly face some stern overseas challengers from Wesley Ward and Aidan O’Brien, O’Meara expects the stiff Ascot finish to play to her strengths.
“I was very impressed with her because I thought she had a lot of work to do from where she ended up,” said O’Meara. “She dug deep and mowed down the Amo horse (Crispy Cat). The two of them pulled a long way clear, it wasn’t as if the one in front was stopping, they put six lengths between them and the rest. She’s a really tough, likeable filly with a great attitude.”
He added: “I think she’s a real five-furlong filly. A stiff five furlongs at Ascot will be right up her street. She’s not a five-furlong filly that is all speed and just scrapes home, she’s very amenable with it and very tough.”

Which UV sterilizer for babies is best?
Your baby’s immune system is growing as fast as they are, but it’s still new. That leaves them more vulnerable to germs that linger on things like their bottles or pacifiers. Experts recommend sterilizing these items at least once a day or before each use. One option to consider when buying a sterilizer is a UV sterilizer.
By far, the most highly-praised UV sterilizer is the Wabi Baby UV-C Sterilizer and Drying Station. With its large capacity and low-heat drying function, it’s an all-in-one sterilizer that will get your baby items as safe as they can be.
What to know before you buy a UV sterilizer for babies
UV sterilizers have quickly taken a lead in the market. With science-backed effectiveness, it’s no wonder parents are loving these high-tech sterilizers.
The secret to UV sterilizers is in the UV-C light. UV-C, ultraviolet light that has a 200-280 nanometer wavelength, has proved to be effective at killing germs at a molecular level. In a report by The Strategist, St. Louis-based physician Eric Lee explained UV sterilizers are shown to have the same impact on viruses and other germs as they have on bacteria: it obliterates them.
Microbiologist and senior editor at Big Think told The Strategist UV-C light kills germs through their high-frequency wavelength. It “scrambles and damages nuclear material,” he explained. As it does this, the DNA or RNA in the germs become damaged, leading to mutations that are both lethal and that keep the germs from reproducing.
The power of UV-C sterilization isn’t brand-new. Its effectiveness has been studied for the last several years. In a recent study by Duke Medicine, nine hospitals were examined in a randomized trial between 2012-2014. In the trial, researchers worked to compare three cleaning methods and how they affect the transmission of four of the most common drug-resistant viruses found in a hospital setting: MRSA, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), C. difficile and Acinetobacter.
Of the three methods they studied, which included standard hospital cleaning and sanitization practices, the researchers discovered the most effective strategy involved UV sanitization. By following the standard hospital cleaning practices already in place then following that with UV sanitization, they were able to kill the greatest percentages of the drug-resistant viruses.
As effective as UV sterilizers are, they only work if you develop a habit of using them. The CDC recommends sterilizing feeding items — things like bottles and nipples — at least once every day, especially during the first 3 months of your baby’s life. Pacifiers and teethers should be sanitized before each use for at least the first 6 months. After that, you should continue to hand wash them before each use, though sterilizing them is an even better practice.
When deciding on a bottle sterilizer or pacifier sterilizer for your baby, you’ll have plenty of options, including microwave steamers and electric steam sterilizers. But by choosing a UV sterilizer, you are giving your baby the greatest amount of protection against even the strongest of germs. As you look for a UV sterilizer, keep these things in mind.
Capacity
First, identify what you primarily plan on using your UV sterilizer for. There are UV sterilizers small enough for a single pacifier and those that can handle your collection of bottles and then some. Are you planning on keeping the UV sterilizer at home or do you want it small enough to throw in your diaper bag? Will it be used for bottles, pacifiers, breast pump equipment or all of it?
The greater the capacity, the more use you’ll get out of your sterilizer. For an at-home sterilizer, you want one that can sterilize at least a few bottles and some pacifiers or teethers at once. This will reduce the number of times you have to run a cycle and keep a fresh supply of items available to you.
Size
Another consideration is the physical size of your UV sterilizer. Some with larger capacities will take up a larger footprint on your countertop. Do you have the space to dedicate to a high-capacity UV sterilizer? And will you use it often enough to warrant the space it takes up?
Cycle length
Each UV sterilizer will have a different cycle length. With each, consider the following situation: it’s the middle of the night and you need a bottle but forgot to run a sterilizer cycle earlier. Your baby is hungry and crying. How long will they have to wait before a clean, sterilized bottle is available? And are you willing to stand by for that long?
What to look for in a quality UV sterilizer for babies
Drying mode
A UV sterilizer with a drying mode should allow you to place the bottles in the sterilizer immediately after washing them, rather than going through the process of letting them air dry first. Instead, the drying cycle will dry the bottles before using the UV-C light to sterilize them. It cuts down on the work you have to do and speeds up the whole process.
Long-life LED bulbs
When researching a UV sterilizer, check the lifetime of the LED bulbs. Typically they have a range between 2,000-10,000 hours. Consider how often you plan on using it. Most likely, if the LED bulbs have a life expectancy in that average range, you’ll be able to use your UV sterilizer for a few years before having to worry about changing out bulbs.
Universal tank
A good UV sterilizer should have a universal tank, meaning it isn’t designed for any specific item or brand. This will ensure it fits a variety of items besides bottles. It will open up the options to include breast pump accessories, pacifiers, teethers and even toys.
360-degree sterilization
One of the issues with a low-quality UV sterilizer is the light may only come from one direction, meaning there will be areas that it misses, leaving the door open for germs to get comfortable. The best UV sterilizers have 360-degree sterilization where there is light coming from all directions to ensure a thorough sanitization.
How much you can expect to spend on a UV sterilizer for babies
You can get a basic UV sterilizer or a travel UV sterilizer for $20-$100. These usually won’t have a large capacity, nor the number of features you may want. For the best UV sterilizers, plan on spending $100-$300.
UV sterilizer for babies FAQ
Is UV-C light safe?
A. The UV-C light in a UV sterilizer for babies is safe to use as long as you aren’t using it on your exposed skin. For sterilizing items like bottles, toys and pacifiers, UV-C light is completely safe.
Is a UV-C sterilizer worth it?
A. There are several reasons to take the leap into buying a UV sterilizer for your baby. The primary reason is its effectiveness. With that, you’ll have an extra assurance your baby is protected from a dangerous illness. If you have a baby who was born prematurely or one with a compromised immune system, a UV sterilizer is definitely worth it. But for any baby, it’s a great investment.

Opening a new business in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic was always going to be a big risk.
But that risk has paid off for Mangawhai couple Anna and Bradley Pope after they opened their business Kaipara Ultrasound in Wellsford in October 2020 and have now expanded to open another Kaipara Ultrasound in Whangārei - next to Tui Medical in Maunu.
Anna, a GP, and Bradley, a sonographer, decided to open their first business in Wellsford in October 2020 after spotting a gap in the market.
Anna said being pregnant the couple found there were not enough places to get an
ultrasound done so decided to start their own practice offering full ultrasound services.

Advertise with NZME.She admits it was risky to start the business while the world was still grappling with the first peak of Covid-19, but its success had convinced them to expand the business into Whangārei.
''We are now open in Whangārei, and provide high quality diagnostic and obstetric ultrasound to this notoriously under-serviced area. We are a small, family-run business based in Northland,'' Anna said.
''We were made aware of the gap in radiology - especially ultrasound - services in the area, and are aiming to meet the needs of our local people.''
She said Northland is notoriously under represented when it comes to medical services and the company has seen a steady demand for its services so expanding was a good idea.
''We are excited to be able to expand after the success (of the Wellsford business) and fill a definite gap in the market here. I was pregnant at the time and going for an ultrasound was pretty hard, so that was part of the motivation. And Whangārei is very under serviced in the health field so having another service here can only help.
''We wanted to provide a service here and had the confidence in the business to do so. We pretty much continued right through (the global pandemic in Wellsford) so we know there's a demand.''
Kaipara Ultrasound also did ACC work and took referrals from GPs.
''While the world was going through the pandemic babies were still being born and people were still injuring themselves so the demand for our services continued.''

■ Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to image inside the body. Ultrasound probes, called transducers, produce sound waves that have frequencies above the threshold of human hearing (above 20KHz), but most transducers in current use operate at much higher frequencies (in the megahertz (MHz) range). Most diagnostic ultrasound probes are placed on the skin.
Diagnostic ultrasound can be further subdivided into anatomical and functional ultrasound. Anatomical ultrasound produces images of internal organs or other structures.
Functional ultrasound combines information such as the movement and velocity of tissue or blood, softness or hardness of tissue, and other physical characteristics, with anatomical images to create "information maps".
These maps help doctors visualise changes/differences in function within a structure or organ. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/global-pandemic-no-barrier-to-northland-business-expanding/ICVOAULVISSZ6L63QTQT2R53BA/ | 2022-05-31T18:46:48Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/global-pandemic-no-barrier-to-northland-business-expanding/ICVOAULVISSZ6L63QTQT2R53BA/ | true | 2 |
Liverpool experienced a monumental campaign in 2021/22. The Reds finished second in the Premier League table just one point behind the eventual winners, while also reaching the final in three cup competitions.
Jurgen Klopp ended the season with two trophies added to his cabinet. The German coach has now won a total of eight pieces of silverware since taking charge at Anfield in October 2015.
Despite Liverpool's success in the past year, a curious quirk has been attached to their season. In each of their cup finals, they haven't scored a single goal.
EXCLUSIVE: Harvey Elliott makes Fabio Carvalho prediction as Liverpool sign his 'favourite player'
READ MORE: Sadio Mane gives Liverpool two transfer options as Julian Ward challenge begins
It is strange considering the offensive strength which has been exhibited throughout the campaign on Merseyside. In the Premier League, for example, Liverpool averaged a goal roughly every 36 minutes across their 38 matches.
In the finals of the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League, the Reds played 330 minutes without finding the net, with both domestic bouts against Chelsea going into extra time.
Concerns have emerged regarding the record and whether there is something systematically wrong with the team. Is it a mentality issue for the players, or is Klopp doing something differently?
Upon inspection of the three finals, it is reasonable to suggest that Liverpool have simply suffered from bad fortune above all else.
They posted a total of 61 shots across the three games, equating to around 20 per match. For context, Klopp's outfit averaged 19 per match in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool's total of 61 shots was 36 more than their opponents, with Real Madrid and Chelsea failing to generate as many opportunities to score past Alisson Becker.
17 of Liverpool's 61 attempts found the target, equating to a shots on target percentage of around 28% which isn't too dissimilar to their average in England's top-flight this season. Across the campaign as a whole, the Reds hit the target with around 33% of their efforts.
Expected Goals (xG) can provide further insight. The metric suggests that Liverpool's 61 shots were worth roughly 6.1 goals based on historical outcomes, yet Klopp's men scored zero.
According to the basic principles of xG, if the Reds were to generate those same shooting opportunities again before reattempting the finishing part, they would end up with closer to six goals than zero more often than not.
The outside concerns are understandable but ultimately, shots don't always result in goals and sometimes - particularly in the Champions League final - goalkeepers step up to secure results almost singlehandedly.
Liverpool generated more than enough in their trio of finals to score a bag full of goals, but it wasn't to be. Thankfully, their conversion rate from penalty shootouts ensured Klopp still ended up on the winning side in two out of three contests. | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-champions-league-24102723 | 2022-05-31T18:47:59Z | https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-champions-league-24102723 | false | 1 |

NEW DELHI: Global fashion event Met Gala 2022 got a dash of desi tadka with the stunning presence of India's businesswoman Natasha Poonawalla. Natasha, the wife of Serum Institute of India's CEO Aadar Poonawalla, marked her presence at the latest edition of Met Gala wearing an exquisite Sabyasachi saree. She paired a Sabyasachi couture sari with a Schiaparelli hand-forged metal bustier.
Designer Sabyasachi took to Instagram to share Natasha's photos in the all-golden ensemble that she wore for the biggest fashion night held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Decoding the Indian twist that Natasha Poonawalla brought to Met Gala 2022's theme 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', Sabyasachi wrote: "Sabyasachi contributed to Natasha's vision by celebrating Indian craftsmanship with a gold handcrafted printed tulle sari and trail embroidered with silk floss thread and embellished with bevel beads, semi-precious stones, crystals, sequins and applique printed velvet."
"The jewellery is a curation of custom pieces from Sabyasachi Fine Jewellery and limited edition collectibles from Sabyasachi's Curiosity Art and Antiquity Project-crafted using traditional techniques with precious and semi-precious stones," the post read.
Credits also go to ace fashion stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania for styling Natasha for Met Gala 2022. Previously, Natasha was spotted walking the Met Gala 2018 red carpet in a white off-shoulder gown.

JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit accusing Mississippi of using a discriminatory proof-of-citizenship requirement for some new voters under a law dating back to the Jim Crow era.
The dismissal came weeks after the state repealed a 1924 law that required naturalized citizens, but not people born in the U.S., to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
A new law enacted in its place has also drawn opposition but is being grudgingly accepted by voting rights groups who say it ultimately should protect naturalized citizens from being incorrectly marked as noncitizens when they register to vote.
The secretary of state had been running names of potential new voters through a state Department of Public Safety database of people with Mississippi driver's licenses and identification cards. Voting rights advocates said this practice disproportionately hurt people of color by flagging them as possible noncitizens.
The new law says that if the public safety database raises questions about citizenship, the potential new voter's name must be run through a federal immigration database. Groups that advocate for voting rights and immigrants' rights said the federal database provides a safeguard to protect naturalized citizens from being incorrectly marked as noncitizens when they register to vote.
"We would prefer that there be no database matching," Rob McDuff, an attorney for the Mississippi Center for Justice said in a news release Tuesday. "There is no problem in Mississippi with non-citizens trying to vote. But given that the secretary of state created such a database matching program, (the new law) makes the situation better and decreases the number of erroneous non-matches."
Two groups, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and the Mississippi Center for Justice, sued the state in 2019 on behalf of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance and the League of Women Voters of Mississippi.
"No state in the United States other than Mississippi subjects naturalized citizens to a higher proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration than U.S.-born citizens," the lawsuit said.
On Tuesday, the plaintiffs and the defendants, including the secretary of state's office, both asked U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves to dismiss the suit. He quickly granted the request.
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves signed House Bill 1510 on April 14, and it became law immediately. He said it "ensures that only American citizens are able to vote in Mississippi."
"There will be those on the left who will claim that we are making it harder for American citizens to vote," the governor said in a video posted to social media. "Those claims are false."
Ezra Rosenberg of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law said in the news release Tuesday that naturalized citizens should not be targeted for unequal treatment.
"Their patriotism deserves to be honored, not punished," Rosenberg said. "The addition of this new safeguard will help prevent naturalized citizens from being erroneously blocked from registering to vote through no fault of their own."
The final version of House Bill 1510 passed the Mississippi House 114-5 with broad bipartisan support. It passed the Senate 38-13, with most Democrats opposed.
In signing the law, Tate Reeves criticized New York City, which enacted a local law in January to let noncitizens vote in its municipal elections but not state or federal elections. He said "radical activists" pushed to open the ballot box to about 800,000 noncitizens there. New York has the largest population of any U.S. city, about 8.8 million.
More than a dozen communities across the U.S. allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, including 11 towns in Maryland and two in Vermont.
"We're not going to allow liberals, whether they're in New York or Washington, D.C., to tell us how to run our local elections," the governor said.
The new Mississippi law says that if the state and federal databases both raise questions about a person's citizenship status, the circuit clerk must give notice. The person would have 30 days to prove citizenship with a birth certificate, a U.S. passport or naturalization documents.
The law says if the person fails to prove citizenship within 30 days, their name will be marked "pending" in the Statewide Elections Management System until the next federal general election. That person could cast a provisional ballot during that federal election but would have to prove citizenship within five days for the vote to count. If the person does not vote in that federal election, their name would be marked "rejected" in the Statewide Elections Management System. | https://m.startribune.com/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-over-citizenship-check-for-voting/600177961/ | 2022-05-31T18:56:15Z | https://m.startribune.com/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-over-citizenship-check-for-voting/600177961/ | false | 11 |
NEW YORK, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CHEQ, the global leader in Go-to-Market Security released new data today on the extent of fraud in the affiliate marketing industry. Back in 2020, the cybersecurity firm showed that close to 10% of traffic coming from affiliate programs was fake, costing the industry $1.4 in losses. Two years later, and that number has now almost doubled, as it has risen to 17%, and considering that the affiliate marketing industry has since grown from $15 Billion to over $20 Billion, the industry is expected to lose over $3.4 Billion to fraud in 2022.
The data is part of a broader, on-going study by CHEQ, looking at fake traffic across over 50,000 websites, deploying over 2,000 cybersecurity tests on ever site visit to validate its authenticity. The research uncovered a wide array of bots and human-malicious traffic being driven by affiliate partners - including botnets, click farms and automation tools.
"Affiliate marketing has unfortunately become synonymous with fraud and fake traffic" said Guy Tytunovich, Founder and CEO of CHEQ. "We're seeing click fraud and cookie stuffing schemes, as well as transaction and chargeback fraud, all becoming extremely prevalent within affiliate programs, especially large ones" he continued. "It's no longer a question of 'do I have fraud', it's only a question of how much".
The data was released on the heels of discussions around bots and fake users in social media, namely surrounding the halting of Elon Musk's Twitter takeover bid, due to a dispute over the rate of bot activity on the platform. Earlier this year, PayPal also took a hit, after it had admitted to uncovering 4.5 million fake accounts in its systems.
CHEQ is the global leader in Go-to-Market Security, trusted by over 12,000 customers to secure their marketing funnels, sales pipelines, website, data and analytics from bots and fake users. The company, which was founded in 2016, holds offices in NY, Miami, Tokyo and Tel-Aviv.

Farooq Abdullah targets government over killing of school teacher in Kulgam
By ANI | Published: June 1, 2022 12:09 AM2022-06-01T00:09:08+5:302022-06-01T00:20:02+5:30
National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said the government has to find a way through which it can win the hearts of people in Jammu and Kashmir and expressed concern over the targeted killings.
National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said the government has to find a way through which it can win the hearts of people in Jammu and Kashmir and expressed concern over the targeted killings.
He said many policemen, Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims have been killed and the government says there is peace.
"Many policemen, Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims have been killed but still, they (Central Government) say there is peace...They have to find such a way through which they can win people's hearts and we can come out of this problem," he said.
His remarks came after a school teacher from the main minority community in Jammu and Kashmir was fired at by terrorists in the Kulgam district of the Kashmir region. Rajni Bala, a resident of Samba in the Jammu region, sustained injuries when terrorists fired at her in the Gopalpora area of Kulgam where she was posted as a teacher, police said.
According to Jammu and Kashmir Police, the incident took place at the High School Gopalpora area of Kulgam. She was taken to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
"Injured lady teacher, a Hindu and resident of Samba (Jammu division) succumbed to her injuries. Terrorists involved in this gruesome terror crime will be identified soon and neutralised," said Kashmir Zone Police.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha condemned the killing of the school teacher.
"Terrorist attack on a school teacher, Rajni Bala is the most reprehensible act. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family. Terrorists and their sympathizers will be given an unforgettable response for the dastardly attack," said the Office of Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha said in a tweet.
The incident took place days after Kashmiri TV actor Amreen Bhat was killed by unidentified terrorists in Budgam's Chadoora area in Jammu and Kashmir on May 25, while her 10-year-old nephew was injured.
Earlier, Rahul Bhatt, an employee of the Tehsil office in the Budgam district's Chadoora, was shot dead by terrorists in the Budgam on May 12.

Over 8,680 patients on trolleys in the month of May – INMO
Over 8,680 patients have been without a bed in Irish hospitals in May according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Monthly TrolleyWatch figures.
The most overcrowded hospitals of May 2022 include:
1. University Hospital Limerick (1,823 patients)
2. Cork University Hospital (898 patients)
3. Sligo University Hospital / Galway University Hospital (761 patients)
4. St. Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny (637 patients)
5. St. Vincent’s University Hospital (509 patients)
INMO General Secretary, Phil Ní Sheaghdha said:
“It has been another extremely difficult month for Irish nurses and midwives in our hospitals. May is traditionally a time in our hospitals where pressure begins to ease but our members have had no reprieve.
“Yet again, University Hospital Limerick is the most overcrowded hospital in the State. Nurses there are reporting that they are under tremendous pressure and are completely overwhelmed by the conditions they are working in day in and day out. Nurses right across the country are reporting high levels of burnout.
“The HSE Emergency Taskforce should convene in Limerick, so all members can see first-hand the suboptimal conditions that healthcare staff are working in and make recommendations on improving conditions in the country’s most overcrowded Emergency Department.
“The Minister for Health must make good on his proposed expert review of University Hospital Limerick. It has been over a month since he announced a review would take place, yet no terms of reference have been published or meetings have been scheduled with this union.
“Nurses and other healthcare staff cannot be expected to sustain this type of pressure all throughout the summer. If the Government and HSE are serious about retaining those who already work in the health service, meaningful action must be taken to ensure safe care conditions for both patients and staff. No nurse wants to have to care for patients in sub-optimal conditions.
“It is time for the HSE’s Emergency Taskforce to urgently reconvene to discuss overcrowding and realistic solutions to same on a hospital-by-hospital basis.”

DEAR DR. ROACH: A few years ago, when being prepped for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy, I had an IV line inserted into my right arm with a sedative in it. As I waited to pass out, I noticed a large air bubble slowly moving down the IV line toward my arm. I got concerned about an air embolism and called the nurse over, who pooh-poohed my concern: "It's just an air bubble! It won't hurt you." I insisted on seeing the charge nurse, who came over, turned off the drip, and flicked the line with her finger multiple times, getting the air bubble to move up the line. She then pinched the line shut and turned the drip back on and flicked the line a few more times, until the air bubble floated into the IV bag and wobbled to the top. She released her pinch on the IV line and said: "There. Are you happy now?" and walked away.
Was I right to be concerned? I'm glad the sedative had not set in yet when the problem occurred! But I'd like to know the answer, in case this happens again. — F.M.
ANSWER: Before medical school, I had also heard that injection of air into a vein can be deadly, so I understand why you were concerned. However, I learned that the amount of air that is needed to cause harm is VERY large. An air bubble might be 0.2 cc and still look pretty significant in the IV tubing. The minimum amount that is likely to cause symptoms is a hundred times that, 20 cc, but it's likely to take much more than that to be fatal, usually in excess of 150 cc. I bet nurses hear those concerns a lot. But it doesn't excuse her behavior, which sounded pretty rude the way you describe it.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Seeing as the AREDS and AREDS-2 supplements fail nearly 70% of the time, when you have a patient who clearly is progressing to the advanced stages of age-related macular degeneration, do you suggest that the patient stop the AREDS and AREDS-2 treatments? — M.S.B.
ANSWER: Age-related macular degeneration is a common cause of visual loss in older people. There are two forms: the proliferative, or "wet," form is aggressively treated, usually with injections directly into the eye. The more common "dry" form has no treatment beyond the mixture of vitamins and minerals that was used in studies. You are correct that the vitamins do not usually stop the progression of AMD entirely, but may still slow progression.
In general, when a treatment isn't working, it's wise to stop it and try something else. However, since there are no other known treatments for dry AMD, the decision needs to be whether there are harms of the treatment that outweigh any benefits. In this particular case, the AREDS vitamins may be slowing progression compared with not getting any treatment at all. The risk of the treatment is negligible. (The beta-carotene in the original AREDS formulation increased risk of lung cancer in smokers. Smokers with AMD should quit smoking and use the AREDS-2 formulation.) The cost is fairly low, so I generally recommend continuing the supplement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Creative Minister breezed a half mile on Tuesday in his next-to-last workout for the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on June 11.
The Kenny McPeek-trained colt was timed in 48.33 seconds for the four furlongs over Belmont Park’s main track.
Creative Minister finished third to Early Voting in the Preakness, the second jewel of thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown for 3-year-olds.
“This horse is all class," McPeek said. "It was a nice little maintenance half-mile and wasn’t anything complicated. We just wanted to let him stretch his legs a little over the track. I think historically it’s a track you’ve got to get used to. I had luck with Sarava training him up there immediately after the Preakness.”
McPeek sent out Sarava for a 70-1 upset win in the 2002 Belmont Stakes.

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – It can often be costly to get a criminal record expunged either with or without a conviction. A bill in the legislature looks to do away with the cost and make expungement automatic for some records.
HB707 by Rep. Royce Duplessis, D-New Orleans, would create an automatic expungement system between the State Police, Supreme Court, and local Clerks of Court. With the responsibility of starting the process falling on the government, it would do away with the cost to the individual.
The Louisiana Constitution lays out the rules for who qualifies for an expungement. As listed here:
For many crimes, it is available 10 years after a sentence is completed. There are some violent crimes that never qualify for expungement. It costs $550 for the State Police to start the process and it’s often so complicated an attorney must be hired.
“We’ve already decided they’re legally entitled to an expungement but there is a barrier in the way right now,” Rep. Duplessis said. “So some people end up spending over $3,000 to try to get an expungement and the only people who would pay that money are people who are trying to go back to work.”
The bill is a scaled-back version of a bill brought last year. Rep. Duplessis was able to roll back the high price tag of the past legislation by limiting the kinds of records that qualify for the automatic expungement. But some are hung up on the cost to the state.
The state will lose over $3 million next year from the lost revenue and the development of the computer software for the expungements. Every year after there will be a cost of about one million dollars needed to pay for the project.
“We already pay for the public defender, we pay for the district attorney, we pay for the jail time, and now we’re going to pay for the convicted felon’s expungement,” Sen. Bodi White, R-Baton Rouge, said.
Rep. Duplessis points out that over $2 million have been put aside for his bill in the budget that passed earlier this session for the State Police and $800,000 for the Louisiana Supreme Court. He also said that getting records cleared will help with recidivism rates and benefit the state.
“This is a person who has done the time, finished a sentence, and has remained conviction free; no misdemeanors, no felonies for 10 years since they finished that sentence,” said Sarah Whittington, senior staff attorney for the Justice and Accountability Center of Louisiana.
The bill now heads to Senate Finance where Sen. White is chairman. Some of the advocates are nervous about the outcome in the waning days of this legislative session. | https://www.klfy.com/louisiana/bill-that-would-make-some-criminal-record-expungements-automatic-facing-final-hurdles-in-legislature/ | 2022-05-31T19:14:47Z | https://www.klfy.com/louisiana/bill-that-would-make-some-criminal-record-expungements-automatic-facing-final-hurdles-in-legislature/ | false | 5 |

Cristian Romero has had a rollercoaster first season in north London, which has included successes and struggles. The Argentine has had to deal with injuries and quarantining, since his loan move last summer.
However the defender has become a key member of Antonio Conte's back three and has added quality needed in the defensive line. Romero's aggression in challenges but calmness on the ball brings the perfect balance alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies.
The 24-year-old made 22 Premier League appearances throughout the last campaign, in his first season in the top flight of English football. The Spurs boss has previously praised Romero, which is why it was a blow for the Argentine to not be involved in the final few games of the season.

The 2021/22 campaign has come to an end but before the Tottenham camp regroup and start their pre-season training, some are on international duty. This is the case for the defender, with Argentina facing Italy in the final of the CONMEBOL – UEFA Cup of Champions.
The clash will take place on Wednesday, which involves the winners of the previous South American and European championships and Argentina fans will be happy to hear Romero's injury update, ahead of the final. "I had a blow, but I’m ready to play against Italy," the 24-year-old explained, in a pre-match intervew with ESPN, as translated by @AlbicelesteTalk.
The defender then went on to talk about his move to Tottenham, which happened just last summer. "Few years ago, I wouldn’t even thought that today I was going to play in the best league in the world in such a great club," Romero admitted.
The Argentine continued and explained that Liverpool's Luis Diaz and Man City's Raheem Sterling were the forwards that he "struggled against" the most, in his first season in England. Throughout his first campaign in N17, Romero would often find himself making runs up the pitch, highlighting his impact at both ends of the field.
However it's his defensive qualities which have made the most impact and his ability to settle into the team so quickly has been helped by those he plays alongside, which he admitted earlier this month. "With Eric, it's been really good because he also speaks Spanish and with Ben, I have a great relationship as well," Romero said.
"I guess you can see this on the pitch. We've put in a lot of effort since Conte's arrival and we've done lots of tactical work every day." The Argentine is clearly forming some good relationships at his new club and in his recent interview he also commended Harry Kane, explaining he views him as "the best striker in the Premier League".
The 24-year-old couldn't make the most of his first season, due to his injuries, but he revealed why he thinks he suffered multiple absences and what he will do to try and overcome any further setbacks. "In my whole career I had no injuries, and this season I had three," he admitted. "I think reason for that is that I [didn't have a] preseason last summer. So now, I will do everything to have the best preseason this summer."
This highlights Romero's drive to work and improve, which will be pleasing for Conte to hear. Depending on the new arrivals, the defender may have to fight for his spot in the starting XI, but he has already made a good impression during his short time in N17.
Therefore the 24-year-old needs to continue learning and developing under the Italian at Tottenham, to reach his full potential and if he gets even better than he already is, Romero will cause even more of a threat to opposing sides next season. | https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/cristian-romero-antonio-conte-tottenham-24109614 | 2022-05-31T19:30:18Z | https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/cristian-romero-antonio-conte-tottenham-24109614 | true | 1 |
What is included in the season pass for Ark Survival Evolved? Answered
More content than you could sic a raptor on.
The survival-crafter Ark: Survival Evolved is bursting at the seams with available content for players to indulge their dinosaur-centric fantasies with, from hosting their own servers, installing hundreds of mods, and a slew of available DLC. With this content can come some confusion, however, as the DLC titles are packaged in a seemingly incongruent manner.
With a total of eleven available maps, and the canonical maps being locked behind DLC, players will need to pick up two separate season passes in order to experience the entirety of the storyline within Ark: Survival Evolved.
Ark: Survival Evolved Season Pass
This season pass is the first offered by Studio Wildcard. This season pass offers three DLCs, with three canonical maps:
- Ark: Scorched Earth
- Ark: Aberration
- Ark: Extinction
The vague naming convention left many confused: this season pass only covers the initial three DLCs for Ark, which fleshes out the storyline as it stood from the map, The Island. Players should play through these three maps in the aforementioned order to better understand the story of Ark. These three DLCs also introduce new tools and materials that can be brought to other maps.
Related: What order to complete maps in ARK: Survival Evolved
Ark: Genesis Season Pass
This is the second season pass offered by Studio Wildcard for Ark: Survival Evolved and it officially ends the storyline of the survival-crafter. This season pass contains two separate DLCs:
- Ark: Genesis Part 1
- Ark: Genesis Part 2
Also included within this second season pass is two Chibi pets (a Noglin and Shadowmane), Tek Exo-armor set cosmetic pack, and the HLN-A cosmetic pet.
The second season pass takes a notable detour from the pacing of the first, as missions and zoning are using consistently to various effect to force the player through a story. While far more hands-on than what many expect from Ark, the worldbuilding and stories that take place in this second pack brings with it a more direct approach to gameplay. | https://doublexp.com/guides/what-is-included-in-the-season-pass-for-ark-survival-evolved-answered | 2022-05-31T19:34:10Z | https://doublexp.com/guides/what-is-included-in-the-season-pass-for-ark-survival-evolved-answered | true | 1 |
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst a national youth behavioral health crisis, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) is partnering with Molina Healthcare, County Behavioral Health, the Offices of Education in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and select local school districts and charter schools to implement the Student Behavioral Health Incentive Program (SBHIP).
The three-year program is in accordance with the California Department of Health Care Services' (DHCS) goal to expand prevention and early intervention behavioral health services in schools and provides financial incentives to partnering school districts and charter schools. A total of $389 million has been allocated for California. Between both IEHP and Molina Healthcare, up to $50,845,334 can be utilized to support this program.
According to the American Psychological Association, one in five young women and one in ten young men experience a major depressive episode before the age of 25. The COVID Collaborative also notes one in 330 California children have lost either a parent or caregiver in the last two years, adding significant stress and trauma to the lives of California's youth, along with stay-at-home orders and remote learning.
"If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that we need to be proactive in addressing mental health and wellness needs early on, before traumas have a chance to manifest later in life," said Amrita Rai, IEHP's clinical director of community behavioral health.
Through SBHIP efforts, existing mental health initiatives will be bolstered, and coordination between schools, managed care plans, county behavioral health and community partners aim to address the equity gap and improve access to mental health prevention and treatment for students. Resources will be directed to fill gaps in these areas throughout the participating schools and their respective communities. Services will be limited to schools who are participating in SBHIP and who receive funding.
"We are well into a crisis when it comes to the mental health and wellness of our youth. Now is the time to be bold and work tirelessly for our children because what we do now will affect generations to come," said Rai. "Why not focus our resources, our passion, and our commitment back into the community and schools? Our children spend most of their lives in school, which makes this multi-organizational partnership so worthwhile."
Partnerships with local education agencies and school sites include San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS); Riverside County of Education; Palm Springs Unified School District; Hemet Unified School District; San Bernardino City Unified School District; Rialto Unified School District; Victor Valley Union High School; Ontario-Montclair School District; Leadership Military Academy; Nuview Union School District; Provisional Accelerated Learning Academy; and Riverside County Office of Education Alternative Education Program. While the initiative will begin at these partner sites, it is anticipated that learnings would benefit other schools and districts interested in implementing similar programs in the future.
"San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools recognizes the growing mental health crisis among our youth and supports this joint effort to address this critical issue," said County Superintendent Ted Alejandre. "SBCSS seeks to build capacity within countywide systems and increase access to much needed support to ensure every child receives the services they need when they need them."
"Educators at the Riverside County Office of Education and within all Local Educational Agencies (LEA) in Riverside County, are vitally interested in addressing the needs of the whole student beyond the classroom. Linking arms with partners across the county via the Student Behavioral Health Incentive Program (SBHIP) will equitably provide mental health services to those who might not otherwise have access to this level of support," said Riverside County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Edwin Gomez.
Selection of school districts and charter schools was dependent on DHCS guidelines and considered specific criteria, such as the number of students who received Medi-Cal, were foster youth or English learners, received free or reduced priced meals, were interested in participating in the program and other factors.
"It's the right thing to do. This program gives us a great opportunity to extend both heart and hand to children in our community," said Dr. Takashi Wada, IEHP's chief medical officer. "Working together, we can equip them with necessary skills, habits and care they can use today and through adulthood, setting them up for a healthier and happier tomorrow."
"The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated and elevated behavioral health needs in our communities, including in young people. Mental and emotional wellbeing make up a significant portion of overall health and healthy youth lead to improved community wellness. We are proud to partner with IEHP, local offices of education and mental health professionals to address the youth behavioral health crisis in tangible, preventative ways." said Dr. Sayeed Khan, chief medical officer at Molina Healthcare.
Program preparation began this year and will support a January 2023 launch at all 10 participating local education agencies. Through careful planning and implementation, the program will aim to build and support a sustainable system beyond the life of the program, which will end in December 2024.

W remember two beloved grandparents who passed away from COVID-19 through the story of their lives and a song.
Jeff Grim chose the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” covered by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole in honor of his grandparents, who he called Grandma and Pap Pap. They met decades ago in Hawaii and then passed away just two days apart — and two hospital rooms apart — in western Maryland.

Celtic’s iconic Lisbon Lions squad has been voted as the best club side of all time, according to votes cast on a recent BBC poll.
The famous Hoops team of 1967 were shortlisted alongside nine other clubs to decide who comes out on top as best side to ever exist in the history of the sport in a poll published by BBC Sport.
Manager Jock Stein led his Celtic team to European Cup glory after beating Italian champions Inter Milan 2-1 at the Estadio Nacional in the Portuguese capital, courtesy of second half goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers.
Most Popular
It marked a historical achievement as the Hoops became the first British team to win the presitgious competition.
Regarded as the best squad to have ever graced Scottish football, the 1967 team remain the only British club to complete the quadruple, which led to the birth of their nickname ‘The Lisbon Lions’.
Reacting to the success, Stein commented: “Winning was important, but it was the way that we won that has filled me with satisfaction. We did it by playing football; pure, beautiful, inventive football. There was not a negative thought in our heads.”
Famously, all 11 players were born withing 30 miles of Celtic Park, a feat unimaginable in today’s game.
The Parkhead club marked the 55th anniversary of their famous triumph at a special lunch event last week, where club directors welcomed Bobby Lennox, Jim Craig and John Clark as well as the families of all other players and manager Jock Stein.
Willie Wallace also joined digitally from his residence in Australia and Celtic chairman Ian Bankier delivered his message of congratultions.
Current Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou was not in attendance but sent his own personal video message.
He stated: “To be manager of a club with such a special history is a real honour and the Lions are fundamental to this history - their achievement was the greatest of all.
“It has been a real priviliege to meet members of the team since I have been at the club - great men who gave so much to the club.
“Rightly, their wonderful success should be celebrated.”
Now, according to the poll which closed at 5pm on Tuesday, May 31, Celtic’s immortals have won the battle to be crowned the greatest club side of all time by a stunning 10 per cent.

Moses Ingram is speaking out against the racist messages she's received since her Obi-Wan Kenobidebut, and the Star Wars franchise is backing her up.
On Tuesday, the official Star Wars Twitter and Instagram accounts spoke out in support of Ingram, who stars as the ambitious new Inquisitor Reva Sevander on the long-awaited Disney+ series.
"We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva's story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist," the statement said. "There are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don't choose to be a racist."
Earlier that morning, Ingram took to her Instagram Story to share the hateful messages she's been receiving since joining the franchise. The Yale Drama School alum shared screenshots of the messages, which included: "You suck loser. You're a diversity hire and you won't be loved or remembered for this acting role" and "You're [sic] days are numbered."
Another message called Ingram a racial slur, telling her she isn't "the first [n-word] in starwarss."
In a video to her followers, Ingram revealed that these messages were a small example of the negativity she's received online.
"Long story short, there are hundreds of those, hundreds. And I also see those of you out there who put on a cape for me and that really does mean the world to me, because there's nothing anybody can do about this," Ingram said.
"Thank you to the people who show up for me in the comments, in the places that I'm not gonna put myself." she added, "To the rest of y'all, y'all weird."
Ingram joins a long list of Black actors who have faced racist vitriol after joining a franchise; Star Wars final trilogy star John Boyegafaced a similar reception when his face was revealed within the first moments of 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer.
In a candid September 2020 interview with British GQ, the actor explained how his experience in the Skywalker Saga soured following his initial breakthrough casting.
"I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that," he explained. "It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realize, 'I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.'"
"Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, 'Black this and Black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.' Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration."
Boyega's costar Kelly Marie Tran faced massive racist backlash after her character, Rose Tico, was introduced in The Last Jedi, and similarly to Boyega's Finn, was also ultimately sidelined -- Rose appeared briefly, and mostly inconsequentially, for just a few scenes at the end of Rise of Skywalker. Tran, tired of dealing with negative comments, wiped her Instagram account.

Ingram stars alongside franchise veterans Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as the titular Jedi Master and his former apprentice-turned-Darth Vader, respectively, in Obi-Wan Kenobi. She joins newcomers to the franchise Rupert Friend, Sung Kang and Joel Edgerton.
"She's serious and she don’t take no mess," Ingram told ET's Will Marfuggi about her character created specifically for the live-action series. And according to executive producer Joby Harold, the "third sister," who will appear alongside Rupert Friend’s Grand Inquisitor, is expected to join the legacy of Star War villains -- and become a foe that’s remembered for a long time.
When asked about joining this particular universe, Ingram shared something Christensen, who "welcomed me as a peer," told her on set. "Hayden said to me the other day, he’s like, 'Moses, once you’re in it, you’re in it for the rest of your life,'" she recalled, adding that she’s "happy to be here with them."
Prior to joining the Star Wars series, Ingram first garnered attention for her supporting role as Jolene on the surprise Netflix hit, The Queen’s Gambit, which earned her her first Emmy nomination. She then followed that up with her portrayal of Lady Macduff opposite Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand in The Tragedy of Macbeth. She followed the latter with the 2022 film Ambulance.
Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered with the first two episodes Friday, May 27 on Disney+. The remaining series will stream weekly on Wednesdays, until the finale on Wednesday, June 22.

WATCH: Young adults on tracks nearly get hit by train
Published: May. 31, 2022 at 2:24 PM CDT|Updated: 21 minutes ago
(CNN) – Three teenagers came within feet from being run over by a speeding train in Canada.
Transit officials posted a video of an incident in Toronto earlier this month.
It shows the train approaching a bridge, when suddenly the teens appear on the tracks.
The train engineer applied the brake and blew the horn, but officials say there was no way of stopping the train on time.
Luckily, the teens managed to get out of the way with just moments to spare.
The “Metrolink” transit agency says it posted the video to appeal to the teens’ parents and to show the dangers of walking on railway tracks.

70 missing children, human trafficking victims recovered in 3-week Texas operation, officials say
A multi-agency operation in western Texas has found 70 missing children in recent weeks, authorities said.
Led by Homeland Security Investigations in El Paso and the Texas Department of Public Safety, Operation Lost Souls was conducted over three weeks, from the end of April through mid-May, the agency announced.
The recovered children were ages 10 to 17, and a majority were runaways. Authorities said some of the children were victims of sex trafficking, as well as physical and sexual abuse. Most of the children were in west Texas, but they were recovered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, in Colorado and in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
"Operation Lost Souls exemplifies Homeland Security Investigations’ commitment to protecting the public from crimes of victimization. In this case, we are looking out for our children – our community’s most precious resource," El Paso Deputy Special Agent in Charge Taekuk Cho said in a statement. "HSI is committed to continue working with our law enforcement partners to locate, recover and help missing children heal, while ensuring that perpetrators are held responsible for these heinous crimes and brought to justice."
Authorities said the assisting agencies provided services and counseling to victims and their families.
People with any information on human trafficking are urged to contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888.

Privacy is on everyone's minds these days — even Google's. Android 13 is built from the ground up, focusing on privacy and security above all else, but if that's not enough for you, you'll need to look elsewhere. Murena has been around for a couple of years now, offering a custom OS for devices like the Fairphone 4, but today, it's finally time for the company to unveil its own hardware.
The Murena One isn't a flagship phone designed to compete with the Pixels and Galaxy S22s of the world — it's even unlikely to compete with Google's upcoming Pixel 6a. Instead, Murena brings a privacy-focused mindset to a budget-friendly device that, while certainly not the most powerful on the market, seems destined to attract a niche audience. Priced at $379, it's not exactly in a position to break the bank, which could make it an intriguing secondary device for some users.
Not that you're getting a flagship phone for that cash. As reported by The Verge, the Murena One has a 6.5" 1080p LCD display, 128GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, and is powered by Mediatek's Helio P60 octa-core processor. It's nothing too impressive, and is perhaps a missed opportunity to grab even more attention by offering a smaller, more pocketable size. The phone's back features three cameras, including a 48MP wide lens, along with a 25MP front-facing sensor for selfies. As boring as this all may sound, it does include a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The real appeal of the Murena One lies with its software, especially if you're a fan of Android but not Google. With /e/OS, the company has replaced every aspect of the phone to remove Google's software. It's got a new browser, a new messaging app, replacements for all of those Workspace apps you rely on, and a custom-built music player. Murena is also working on Elivia, an Assistant clone that should enable voice commands in the future. It's all rolled up in a custom skin that looks — if we're being honest — just like iOS.
That said, this is still Android, and it's still running Android apps. Murena has built an app directory designed to offer all of your favorite software, complete with a custom privacy score delivered by the company. You'll even find Google apps in the "App Lounge," which, unfortunately, requires a Google account sign-in to download much of the software available. To make up for the inclusion here, Murena doesn't show your identity when downloading apps and uses microG to replace Google Play Services and other required libraries. From hands-on reports, it doesn't sound like a perfect solution — neither private enough to satisfy those who need a break from Google, nor offering an easy way to get apps for those who want their favorite services.
Unfortunately, it's not the only potential dealbreaker. The latest version of /e/OS is based off of a LineageOS build that itself is based off of Android 10 — as in, the version Google shipped nearly three years ago. And while LineageOS has since upgraded to newer versions, it's unclear when /e/OS will follow suit.
For now, the Murena One will likely remain a niche phone, not the type of gadget capable of completely revolutionizing the industry. It'll be available in June in the US, Canada, Europe, the UK, and Switzerland. You can sign up for the waitlist now to be alerted when stock is ready. | https://www.androidpolice.com/murena-privacy-focused-budget-smartphone-no-google/ | 2022-05-31T19:50:14Z | https://www.androidpolice.com/murena-privacy-focused-budget-smartphone-no-google/ | false | 1 |

Have You Been To The Best Bakery In Georgia?
By Logan DeLoye
May 31, 2022
Sometimes a flaky pastry and a cup of coffee is the difference between a good morning and a great morning. The best bakery in the entire state offers an abundance of doughnuts, macarons, cakes, crepes, croissants, muffins and any other pastry imaginable.
According to Eat This Not That, the best bakery in all of Georgia is Georgia French Bakery & Cafe located in Duluth. Georgia French Bakery & Cafe is known for their croissants and eclairs. Comparable to that of authentic Parisian pastries, these breakfast and brunch staples are what keep that crowds around. Their crepes are also very popular.
Here is what Eat This Not That had to say about the best Georgia bakery:
"No need to travel to Paris for your éclair or croissant fix—this cozy cafe offers an authentic taste of France. Yelpers can't stop gushing about the almond croissant, Nutella strawberry crepe, the ham friand, and the array of satiating baguette sandwiches. The "buttery, flaky" croissants are such a highlight that you may want to take one or two to go with your breakfast or lunch order. While you're at it, be sure to snag a "creamy, smooth" Café Au Lait. Note, if you're craving their famous crepes, you'll need to swing by on a Saturday to try them."

Man arrested in connection to Keokuk bank robbery
KEOKUK, Iowa (KWQC) - A man has been arrested in connection to a Keokuk bank robbery in April.
Casey Alexander Young, 37, is charged with first-degree robbery, a Class B felony.
According to an arrest affidavit:
About 9:39 a.m. on April 26, the Keokuk Police Department responded to Two Rivers Bank and Trust at 115 Boulevard Road for a reported bank robbery.
A teller said a man, later identified as Young, walked in and gave a note demanding money. The teller said Young had his right hand in their hoodie pocket like he was holding a gun.
Through an investigation, it was learned the man was wearing a mask. A business was located that makes a realistic mask, and records show Young purchased a “Solder” mask.
During a search warrant at Young’s home on May 25, items the Young wore were located in his residence, according to the arrest affidavit.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 3, at the Lee County Courthouse. According to court records, bond is set at $50,000 cash only.

French officials have been accused of smearing Liverpool fans in a bid to cover-up the causes of the chaos at the Champions League final.
UEFA has started an investigation after shocking images of supporters being tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed by police were beamed around the world. French politicians have claimed thousands of fans had arrived at the stadium on Saturday with forged tickets.
Interior minister Gerald Darmanin said: "There was massive fraud at an industrial level and organisation of fake tickets, 70% of tickets were fake tickets coming into the Stade de France." And sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera claimed there were "30,000-40,000 people without tickets or with fake tickets".
But a source at the French Interior Ministry was quoted on Tuesday saying: "This complaint is an announcement aimed at trying to cover up." Speaking to the Paris news outlet Mediapart, he added: "Accusing English supporters is just nonsense."
And a senior police source said: "In other countries, it would have been worth the resignation of the Minister. But in France lies are added to police violence to cover it up without this posing a problem."
Other senior police officers said specialist riot squads trained to deal with urban disturbances should not have been at the final. The so-called ‘Brav’ units wear helmets and body armour and are notorious for using tear gas and batons.
"Putting Brav intervention companies who have no experience in managing supporters for a sporting event of this magnitude is nonsense" said a source.
And referring to prestige sports events due to be held in France over the next two years, the source added: “Fifteen months from the Rugby World Cup and twenty-four from the Olympics, this does not bode well.”
Liverpool fans were herded together outside locked gates as they waited in huge queues before the clash with Real Madrid. The Anfield club has accused authorities across the Channel of trying to "deflect responsibility" for the long delays at the turnstiles.
Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan has called the comments "deeply unhelpful" and the club has demanded an apology. UEFA says and independent and comprehensive review will be held into the events.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said earlier this week: "The footage from the Stade de France this weekend was deeply upsetting and concerning. We know many Liverpool fans travelled to Paris in good time to support their team in one of the biggest matches of the season and we are hugely disappointed by how they were treated.
"Fans deserve to know what happened so we are urging UEFA to work closely with the French authorities on a full investigation and to publish those findings." | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/liverpool-french-officials-champions-league-27116661 | 2022-05-31T19:57:34Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/liverpool-french-officials-champions-league-27116661 | false | 2 |

Heroic Ukrainian pilots on 'suicide mission' as they resupply Azovstal steel works - VIDEO
HEROIC Ukrainian pilots have published a video of their "suicidal" resupply mission for Mariupol steelworks.
Ukraine: Helicopter pilots resupply Mariupol defenders during siege
Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters flew through Russian-dominated airspace to resupply surrounded fighters in the Azovstal steel plant. Pilots landed in the ruins on a mission which Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky described as "suicidal" last week. The terrifying video captures the moment the aircraft dodges cranes as it flies low to the ground.
Andriy Biletsky, a co-founder of the Azov battalion, has praised the helictoper pilots.
He said: "We can see the maximum professionalism of Ukrainian pilots.
"There’s no resemblance with the Black Hawks, Americans have never entered so deep into enemy-controlled territories, 100km deep into a territory with intense anti-aircraft defence, patrolling airplanes, and so on.
"This makes this operation unique in the history of humanity."

While President Zelensky said last week: "Helicopter pilots for many weeks were flying there, knowing that 90 per cent do not return … Imagine what these people did.
"They flew there to give food, water and weapons to Azovstal defenders and took away the wounded.
"We lost many pilots. They are absolutely heroic."
It comes as relatives of Ukrainian fighters who remained for weeks under the besieged Azovstal steelworks said on Monday they had received no news of the whereabouts of their loved ones since they were evacuated to Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine.
Russians flee airbase under Ukrainian artillery fire in February
Uncertainty surrounds the fate of hundreds of fighters, most from the Azov battalion, taken into Russian custody in mid-May after essentially being ordered to give themselves up as Russian forces pounded the plant and the nearby city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine.
The relatives, all women, said they had formed a Council of Wives and Mothers, to ensure the fighters were treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war.
"We were asked to stay silent in order not to make things worse," Tetyana Horko, sister of marine commander Serhiy Horko, told a news conference.
"But one mustn't think that the story of Azovstal heroes is over. They need support, they need to be brought back home."

Sandra Krotevich, sister of the Azov regiment's first deputy commander, Bohdan Krotevich, said relatives had no idea what was happening to the detained fighters.
"Where they are, what's happening to them, in what condition they are, we do not know," Krotevich said.
"We very much expect Russia to treat them in accordance with the Geneva Convention, in accordance with the international law just like Ukraine treats the Russian POWs."
Natalia Zarytska, wife of an Azov regiment soldier, said she had been contacted by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which helped oversee the mass evacuations. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1618983/ukraine-Azovstal-steelworks-mission-helicopter-zelensky-latest-vn | 2022-05-31T20:04:45Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1618983/ukraine-Azovstal-steelworks-mission-helicopter-zelensky-latest-vn | false | 1 |

SEATTLE (AP) — Researchers say the newest member of a group of endangered southern resident orcas is a female.
The Center for Whale Research says the southern residents’ population growth is largely limited by the number of reproductively aged females.
The Seattle Times reports that on May 26, the center encountered J pod during a photo-ID and aerial observation survey. During this encounter, the team captured photographs and videos of J59. From this, the team was able to determine that J59 is a female.
J59 was first spotted in March.
News of her birth was tempered by the loss of two other pregnancies in southern resident families. The endangered whales’ population is now 74.
The southern residents face at least three main threats to their survival: Underwater noise, pollutants and lack of adequate Chinook salmon, their primary food source. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Orcas-newest-member-of-southern-resident-J-Pod-17210142.php | 2022-05-31T20:17:37Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/Orcas-newest-member-of-southern-resident-J-Pod-17210142.php | true | null |
Community demands answers after Kansas City police shoot ‘pregnant’ Black woman
An eyewitness says Leonna Hale was pregnant and unarmed when police shot her, but investigators say just the opposite
Kansas City residents are demanding answers after police reportedly shot a female suspect who said she was pregnant.
The Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) says the woman, Leonna Hale, 26, was one of two suspects in a recent carjacking. When KCPD officers confronted her and a male suspect outside a Family Dollar store on 27 May, police say she attempted to flee.
What happened next is disputed, but authorities say it ended with Ms Hale being “seriously injured” and hospitalised.
“Two officers fired shots,” the Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a tweet. “A suspect handgun was recovered from the scene. Hale was seriously injured & her condition is stable. No other injuries.”
Meanwhile, an eyewitness has offered a more detailed account of what she says happened.
“They [the police] shot five times,” the witness, who only gave her first name, Shedanja, told the Kansas City Star. “I remember seeing her hit the ground and I froze.”
Shedanja is adamant that Ms Hale was not a threat.
“She did not pull out a weapon on them,” she said. “She did not even have a stick in her hand.”
The Missouri State Highway Patrol disputes this version of events. Sgt Andy Bell, a spokesperson for the agency, told The Independent that as investigators have reviewed body camera footage, it’s become clear that Ms Hale “had a handgun in her hand”.
Furthermore, Mr Bell said, there is “no indication that she was pregnant”.
“We’re treating that as a rumour,” the sergeant said.
On the night of the shooting, Interim KCPD chief Joseph Mabin spoke briefly to reporters, but referred all questions to the Highway Patrol, which is conducting the investigation.
“The Highway Patrol will be investigating this incident,” Mr Mabin said. “We’re committed to being 100% transparent, and fully cooperating with the Highway Patrol.”
Toriano Porter, a columnist for The Kansas City Star, said the briefing raised more questions than it answered.
“Is that how you’re going to play the lead role, Chief Mabin?” Mr Porter wrote. “Kansas Citians shouldn’t be left in the dark about basic details of the shooting. If the woman was pregnant, tell us. If so, what’s the condition of the woman’s unborn child? Did she have a weapon? Were body-worn cameras activated? Did dashboard camera footage capture portions of the encounter?”
As for the pledge to cooperate with investigators, Mr Porter was not impressed.
“Lip service about transparency means absolutely nothing without updating the public about what occurred at Family Dollar,” he wrote.

High prices, Asian markets could blunt EU ban on Russian oil
By LORNE COOK and SAMUEL PETREQUIN
Associated Press
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s groundbreaking decision to ban nearly all oil from Russia to punish the country for its invasion of Ukraine is a blow to Moscow’s economy, but its effects may be blunted by rising energy prices and other countries willing to buy some of the petroleum, industry experts say.
European Union leaders agreed late Monday to cut Russian oil imports by about 90% over the next six months, a dramatic move that was considered unthinkable just months ago.
The 27-country bloc relies on Russia for 25% of its oil and 40% of its natural gas, and European countries that are even more heavily dependent on Russia had been especially reluctant to act.
European heads of state hailed the decision as a watershed, but analysts were more circumspect.
The EU ban applies to all Russian oil delivered by sea. At Hungary’s insistence, it contains a temporary exemption for oil delivered by the Russian Druzhba pipeline to certain landlocked countries in Central Europe.
In addition to retaining some European markets, Russia could sell some of the oil previously bound to Europe to China, India and other customers in Asia, even though it will have to offer discounts, said Chris Weafer, CEO at consulting firm Macro-Advisory.
“Now, for the moment, that’s not financially too painful for Russia because global prices are elevated. They’re much higher than last year,” he said. “So even Russia offering a discount means that it’s probably selling its oil for roughly what it sold for last year also.”
He noted that “India has been a willing buyer” and “China’s certainly been keen to buy more oil because they’re both countries who are getting big discounts on global market prices.”
Still, Moscow has traditionally viewed Europe as its main energy market, making Monday’s decision the most significant effort yet to punish Russia for its war in Ukraine.
“The sanctions have one clear aim: to prompt Russia to end this war and withdraw its troops and to agree with Ukraine on a sensible and fair peace,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said.
Ukraine estimated the ban could cost Russia tens of billions of dollars.
“The oil embargo will speed up the countdown to the collapse of the Russian economy and war machine,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
Simone Tagliapietra, an energy expert and research fellow at the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, called the embargo “a major blow.”
Matteo Villa, an analyst at the ISPI think tank in Milan, said Russia will take a pretty significant hit now but cautioned that the move could eventually backfire.
“The risk is that the price of oil in general goes up because of the European sanctions. And if the price goes up a lot, the risk is that Russia starts to earn more, and Europe loses the bet,” he said.
Like previous rounds of sanctions, the oil ban is unlikely to persuade the Kremlin to end the war.
Moscow seized on the new sanctions to try to rally public support against the West, describing it as bent on destroying Russia.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council who served as the country’s president, said the oil ban aims to reduce the country’s export earnings and force the government to scale down social benefits.
“They hate us all!” Medvedev said on his messaging app channel. “Those decisions stem from hatred against Russia and against all of its people.”
Russia has not shied away from withholding energy to get its way. Russian state energy giant Gazprom said it is cutting off natural gas to Dutch trader GasTerra and Denmark’s Oersted company and is also stopping shipments to Shell Energy Europe that were bound for Germany. Germany has other suppliers, and GasTerra and Oersted said they were prepared for a shutoff.
Gazprom previously stopped the flow to Bulgaria, Poland and Finland.
Meanwhile, the EU is urging other countries to avoid placing trade barriers on farm products as Russia’s war increases the risks of a global food crisis.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Russia has prevented the export of 22 million tons of Ukrainian grain, much of it meant for people across the Middle East and Africa. He accused Moscow of “deliberately creating this problem.”
Russian oil delivered by sea accounts for two-thirds of the EU’s oil imports from Moscow. In addition to the EU cutoff of such imports, Germany and Poland have agreed to stop using oil from the northern branch of the Druzhba pipeline.
Agreeing on sanctions against Russian natural gas is likely to prove much tougher because it represents a larger percentage of Europe’s energy mix.
“The very loud and clear message that Moscow will hear is that it will be near impossible for the European Union to get any agreement on blocking gas because gas will not be as easily replicated from other sources in Europe as oil will be,” Weafer said.

After a six-week trial, a civil jury in Virginia is deliberating defamation claims by Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The trial has featured lurid testimony with explicit details about the movie stars' short and volatile marriage. But the question the jury needs to answer is whether Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed in which she wrote that she was "a public figure representing domestic abuse."
The jury was also tasked with deciding a counterclaim filed by Heard. She said she was defamed when Depp's former lawyer called her abuse allegations a "hoax."
Throughout the trial, various spectacles have played out, outside of the courtroom. Fans have stood outside to catch a glimpse of the stars and wave. On Tuesday, Court TV captured images of a large Pirates of the Caribbean replica ship traveling by.
A PIRATE SHIP?! 😂⚖️

The lawsuit filed by Depp asks for $50 million in damages related to defamation claims against Heard and that 2018 op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post. Heard said she was a "public figure representing domestic abuse,” but didn't mention Depp by name in the article.
Amid the weeks of trial proceedings, Heard laid out over a dozen alleged examples where she says she experienced abuse, including at least one incident of alleged sexual abuse she claims Depp committed against her. Depp also claimed that Heard physically attacked him in the past.

The seven-member jury was tasked with deciding if two passages from the Washington Post piece, plus the headline, defamed Depp. A verdict form given to the jury will guide them on how to determine that. The jury will have to decide if Heard acted with "actual malice," since she is a public figure. Heard's lawyers told the seven jury members that if she suffered even a single incident of abuse, they must find that Depp's libel claim then fails.
Heard has filed a $100 million counterclaim against Depp after Depp's former lawyer called the allegations she has made a "hoax." The jury will have to decide if Depp's former lawyer's three published statements were about Heard, were false, and if they were seen by people other than Heard. They must also decide if Depp's former attorney also made those statements with "actual malice," as the Associated Press reported. | https://www.10news.com/news/national/depp-heard-defamation-trial-a-round-up-of-important-details | 2022-05-31T20:20:54Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/depp-heard-defamation-trial-a-round-up-of-important-details | false | 10 |

- Bedsheets accumulate skin cells, body oils, sweat, dust mites, and more.
- You should wash your sheets weekly to keep them clean.
- Washing sheets in very hot water kills dust mites, viruses, and bacteria.
We spend a significant amount of time in bed, and sheets can be a pricey purchase. It's important to care for them properly so they last.
While most bedsheets are cotton and can withstand high temperatures, others, like linen sheets, have different care instructions. Even if you're sure your sheets are cotton, you'll want to read the label before washing them. They may have coatings or other properties that don't work well with high heat, bleach, or ironing.
Here are some tips for washing your bedsheets.
How often should you wash your sheets?
All the experts we spoke with said you should wash your sheets once a week for a variety of reasons.
"Even if you are a very clean person and shower every day, after a few days your sheets become soiled with dead skin cells, sweat, body oils, and other gross stuff," said Jessica Samson, cleaning expert with The Maids.
Dust mites, microscopic spider-like pests, live on dead skin cells often found on bedding. "If you are sensitized to dust mites, and you have nasal allergies or asthma or eczema, you do benefit from dust-mite-avoidance measures," said Dr. Maya Jerath, an allergist-immunologist with the Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. That includes regularly washing sheets, comforters, and stuffed animals and encasing mattresses and pillows in protective covers.
"If someone is sick in bed or prone to accidents (potty training children or pets, for example), you'll want to wash your sheets more frequently, and as soon as possible after any accidents," said Corinna and Theresa Williams, co-founders of the eco-friendly laundromat Celsious, in an email.
How to wash sheets without bleach
Both Samson and the Williams sisters said there are ways to fully clean sheets without bleach. "First, you want to treat all stains before washing the sheets," said Samson.
She said most cotton sheets don't require special care and can be washed in hot water, but you should still read the labels.
"We're big proponents of not using chlorine bleach," said the Williams sisters. "It's harsh on fabric, which isn't good for longevity and can contribute to yellowing over time." Instead, they recommend an oxygen booster to treat stains and keep whites bright.
How to wash cotton sheets
"Your everyday sheets should not have complicated care instructions, and the material should be able to withstand warm or hot washes for hygienic reasons," said the Williams sisters.
They suggest looking at care instructions before buying sheets, then washing them on the warmest setting they can withstand.
The Williamses also recommend drying cotton sheets on low heat for longevity. You should also avoid fabric softener, which coats fibers and can affect sheets' absorbency.
How to wash linen sheets
"Linen sheets are prone to shrinking in the wash if you use the hottest setting," said Samson. She and the Williamses said to use lukewarm or cold water.
To keep linen soft, the Williams sisters add a ¼ cup of white vinegar to the washer's fabric softener compartment and use dryer balls in the dryer. You should also dry linen sheets on low, they said.
If you don't like linen's natural wrinkles, you can use a steamer or warm iron, the Williams sisters said, as long as the label doesn't caution against it.
How to wash sheets in cold water
Washing bed sheets in hot water is important if you have dust-mite sensitivity. Dr. Jerath said to wash sheets once a week in water hotter than 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Always use the hottest water that your sheets can handle, and always read the label before cleaning your sheets," said Samson.
However, Corinna and Theresa Williams acknowledge that many people prefer to wash laundry in cold water to save energy. "If you like, add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help flush out odor," they said, and run a warm or hot cycle monthly. Washing clothes at 140 degrees Fahrenheit will help kill viruses and bacteria.
Insider's takeaway
Washing sheets is a balance between making sure they're actually clean and ensuring they last as long as possible. To get your bedsheets really clean, it's best to use hot water, over 130 degrees Fahrenheit to get rid of dust mites and over 140 degrees to help kill viruses and bacteria.
However, some bedsheets don't withstand high temperatures well. You'll want to read the label for specific care instructions. Using bleach and fabric softener will negatively impact your sheets, as can drying them on high heat.

A survey carried out by FRS Recruitment points to lack of info on salary as being a big turn off for potential staff
Two out of three people in Tipperary (65%) say the lack of salary information on a job ad has put them off applying for role. That’s according to a wide ranging survey conducted by leading Irish recruitment company, FRS Recruitment whose operations include an office in Tipperary.
The Employment Insights Survey also included a range of other insights from Tipperary employees and employers. Approximately six out of ten people (62%) believe there will be more job opportunities available to them this year, up from the 26% of people in Tipperary who were of that view a year ago.
While more than eight out of ten people in Tipperary (85%) believe they would secure a new job within a period of 3 months, up from the from the 61% who were of that view when the same question was posed 12 months ago.
Only one in eight people (13%) fear for their job security now, down from the 56% who were concerned this time last year.
The majority of Tipperary employees (65%) expect to receive a pay rise in the next 12 months and 69% feel their salary reflects their current position. One in four (25%) would consider a pay cut if their job was at risk – significantly below than the national average of 46%.
When it comes to employers, in Tipperary half (50%) say they are looking beyond Ireland when it comes to recruiting staff, while more than five out of ten (55%) note there has been a reduction in the number of job applications they have received this year. Four out of ten employers in Tipperary (40%) also say that salary is the main driver of attrition in the employment market at present.
Only 5% of Tipperary based employers say that the conflict in Ukraine has impacted their hiring outlook for the year.
Speaking about the survey, Lynne McCormack, General Manager of FRS Recruitment said, “What this survey highlights is the shift in mindset that we’ve seen amongst employees in Tipperary and around the rest of the country. Following on from the pandemic many are now feeling on a much stronger footing and that is impacting the dynamics in the employment market in Tipperary and beyond. So we see a greater emphasis on salary with stronger expectations for rises or salary becoming the key motivator when it comes to considering a new role.
“In that environment it should come as no surprise that candidates want to see salary information included in a job advertisement. This is a common refrain we hear from candidates, they want to get a better idea as to what package is on offer before they even begin the application process these days. Generally, there is also a growing belief amongst candidates that they will have no difficulty securing alternative employment as there are plenty of options out there so more will opt for the role that provides the type of information they are seeking.
“This change in outlook is also having a knock on effect on employers based in Tipperary and other parts of the country. They are reporting a decrease in the number of applications and a reduction in the level of suitability. It highlights just how difficult it is becoming for companies to find the right talent. This is also illustrated by the increased focus employers are putting on sourcing talent from overseas, a trend we in FRS Recruitment have noticed has grown in the last six months. All of this highlights the importance of finding and retaining key talent and we expect this, along with the wider inflationary issues in the economy, will put further pressure on salaries in Tipperary and beyond as the year progresses,” Ms. McCormack concluded.
FRS Recruitment is one of the leading recruitment businesses operating in Ireland. They have 10 offices nationwide, with locations in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Tipperary, Limerick, Kerry, Kilkenny, Offaly, Cavan and Roscommon. A 100% Irish business, FRS Recruitment is part of the FRS Network – the social enterprise co-operative.

Remembering KK: 10 facts we bet you didn't know about singer Krishnakumar Kunnath
Singer KK passed away after his performance in Kolkata
Singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, better known as KK, may no longer be among us but his songs continue to live on. KK was a singer par excellence and lent his voice in movies like Raees, Jannat, Om Shanti Om and Kites. The singer was last seen performing at a concert in Kolkata where he suffered from a cardiac arrest. While we mourn the loss of the legendary singer, let us look at some of the facts about the singer who stirred many emotions while he sung the songs he sung.
1. Apart from singing in Bollywood, the legendary singer lent his voice in more than 3000 jingles. He started off his career singing jingles back in 1985.
2. KK’s musical journey began by listening to his mother’s Malayali songs which were recorded by his father in a tape recorder.
3. KK started taking singing seriously in the second grade after a unanimous positive reception to the song ‘Jab Andhera Hota Hai’ from Raja Rani (1973) when he performed the song on stage.
4. KK married his childhood sweetheart Jyothi Krishna. However, getting her hand and taking holy vows with her wasn’t as easy as it sounds. He had to get himself a job which he did. He worked as a salesman for six months and then eventually quit the job. His wife and his father convinced him to pursue music and he started working on jingles again.
5. KK, despite the many chartbuster Bollywood songs that he sung, was never a favourite at the award shows. He just won one major award in 2009 for the song Khuda Jaane from Bachna Ae Haseeno. He said that he never got awards because he never conspired for them.
6. While KK’s songs were absolutely popular among listeners, KK claimed that most people didn’t recognise him.
7. KK liked being an underdog in the music industry but what disheartened him was the fact that those who liked his music never really spared five minutes to check the name of the singer.
8. KK never took professional musical training and was not a classically trained singer.
9. KK was a diehard fan of another legendary KK a.k.a Kishore Kumar.
10. KK was a commerce graduate from Delhi University. He was a versatile singer and had a versatile voice which suited songs sung in all languages.
KK’s untimely death has left fans, admirers and the entire industry in deep shock. We offer sincere condolences to KK’s family in this time of grief.

Partnership to support CINC clients in vendor screening, risk assessment
DULUTH, Ga., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CINC Systems, the largest software-as-a-service solution dedicated to community association management, has launched an integration with Vendor Information Verification Experts (VIVE), the industry's leading vendor compliance software.
This integration will enable CINC clients to seamlessly share and update vendor information and insurance records between the systems, streamlining vendor management across the two solutions.
"In an environment of continually increasing insurance costs for communities, the importance of risk management has grown," said VIVE CEO Joe Bushey. "Managing that risk involves more than just collecting certificates of insurance; it's ensuring that all information related to that vendor has been properly vetted by risk management professionals and ensuring that information is kept current on an ongoing basis. With today's tightened labor market, finding internal resources to handle this time-consuming task is harder than ever. That's where VIVE comes in."
VIVE handles all aspects of vendor registration and vetting. Integrated with CINC, management companies can know whether a vendor is verified at any given time. In addition to its core vendor compliance services, VIVE offers a suite of vendor management tools, including a fully-automated request-for-proposal platform that costs nothing for vendors or management companies to use.
"It was very important for us to have a seamless integration with CINC Systems," Bushey said. "It gives us the opportunity to work with some of the fastest growing management companies in the country. What's more, the company has a near 100% client retention rate; we're offering a free service to clients who are already using a best-in-class system, making it a win-win situation for all of us."
Launched in 2017, VIVE is the association industry's first bespoke vendor compliance solution, boasting an executive staff with more than 80 years of combined experience in the management and support of community associations. VIVE serves more than 90 management companies and has registered more than 25,000 vendors.
"I'm passionate about the work we do at VIVE because I saw in my own management company that we simply didn't have the resources to do compliance properly," Bushey said. "My goal since day one has been to make a product that solved the problems I saw first-hand."
VIVE's history closely matches the history of CINC Systems, which was founded in 2005 after third generation banker Bill Blanton recognized the need to provide management companies with a software solution that better served homeowners through technological efficiency. Because of CINC's dedication to innovation, the company has quickly added over 20,000 to their portfolio, making it the largest SaaS-based solution in the industry.
"Both CINC and VIVE care deeply about the experience homeowners have within their associations," said Ryan Davis, Chief Executive Officer of CINC Systems. "It's our dedication that makes our partnership so strong."
"We take security very seriously at CINC," said Davis. "Risk and compliance management are extremely important measurements of security within community management, which is why we are so excited to work with VIVE."
In line with its dedication to supporting the homeowner experience, the executive team at CINC Systems works relentlessly to build partnerships and integration strategies with key partners in the community management space. "CINC has developed an extensive set of APIs that enables top-notch vendors like VIVE to easily integrate into our platform," Davis said. "We are committed to being the one-stop shop where our clients can come to get everything they need to run their business -- whether it's directly from us or from one of our integrated partners."
Through the integration, clients of CINC Systems will be able to track and flag compliance of vendors, standardize vendor onboarding and satisfaction, view and track all aspects of a vendor's compliance requirements, and automate vendor document management. "The integration keeps security top of mind for management companies while keeping the process simple and seamless," Davis said.
CINC Systems is the largest provider of SaaS solutions for the community association industry. Founded in 2005, CINC Systems became the industry's first Internet-based integrated accounting and property management system. CINC Systems is backed by founder Bill Blanton, a third-generation banker, and Spectrum Equity. The company serves more than 20,000 homeowners associations and 2 million homes.

VIVE simplifies the vendor risk management task for all vendors working at the communities you manage. VIVE's team has more than 80 years of expertise in the Community Management, Cloud Application and Risk Management industries.

Ten scattered Tuesday morning thoughts
It’s another special Tuesday edition of the Monday morning column.
Here’s what I’m thinking about heading into another week at the Scarlet and Gray Report.
We love lists.
Lists are fun.
They remind us to do things, emphasize important ideas and things to remember on a daily basis. But more importantly, especially in this space of college football, it’s at the center of debate, whether it’s the AP Top 25, the College Football Playoff rankings or even the best stadiums in the Big Ten.
Lists can make fans mad, spark debate and encourage camaraderie for a fanbase, crying out accusations in the age-old debates of overrated vs. underrated.
But sometimes lists are wrong. And this is one of those times.
There are 27 cornerbacks better than Denzel Burke in college football.
There are not five cornerbacks in the Big Ten better than Burke either.
He was so good last season that opposing quarterbacks stopped throwing his way. After getting 22 targets in the first three games he played against Minnesota, Oregon and Tulsa — allowing 10 catches for 104 yards and -1 yards after catch with no catch longer than 13 yards — he had only one game in which he allowed more than five targets in the final 10 games: 14 against Purdue.
Overall, opposing quarterbacks had a 48.4% success rate against Burke in coverage, allowing 11.1 yards per reception with a yards-after-catch average of 1.9.
Oh, and he did not allow a single touchdown, adding 12 pass breakups and an interception.
There are good cornerbacks on this list. But Burke should be near the top of that list.
And here’s why:
I’m going to use Pro Football Focus to do some continued digging. I’ll take each of the top five cornerbacks on this list and each of the Big Ten cornerbacks on this list and compare some stats — tackles, pass breakups and interceptions along with quarterback completion rate, average targets per game, average yards per reception, average yards after catch, and touchdowns allowed — to see where Burke stacks up.
Let’s start with the Ohio State sophomore:
Burke (No. 28): 36 tackles, 12 pass breakups, 1 INT, 48.4% completion rate, 4.9 targets per game, 11.1 yards per reception, 1.9 yards after catch per reception, 0 TDs allowed
Now, let’s look at a few corners listed higher than Burke...

WATCH: Home swept away amid Alaska river flooding
GLENNALLEN, Alaska (KTUU/Gray News) - A video captured the moment an entire home in Alaska was swept away as a result of river flooding on Monday.
The video obtained by Alaska’s News Source showed the house being taken downstream on the Copper River in Glennallen, which is about 180 miles northeast of Anchorage.
People who live along the river like Daniel Chappell, have been dealing with erosion for more than a week. Chappell believes six other homes are in jeopardy of being taken by the river.
He was able to move his own home back a few feet, but the banks are eroding by several feet per day, which means he is still at risk.
“It doesn’t look like the river is going to make any changes to our advantage, so we don’t know exactly what to do at this point,” Chappell said.
Ron Nordquist, who has owned a cabin since 1992, had to move everything out over the weekend as he prepares for the worst.
“It’s very sentimental,” Nordquist said. “We’ve been going up there. We’ve got a fish wheel and fishing on the river. We spend a great deal of our time up there in the summertime.”
Other parts of the Copper River Basin region are under a flood advisory, mainly from high-volume snowmelt.
“Thirty-some years I’ve been living here, and nothing like this has ever occurred, so it’s just taking a little to get my mind wrapped around,” Chappell said.
Chappell says the community is running without electricity, sewage services, water or sleep, as over the last week, many have been working around the clock to try and keep people safe and at the same time save their homes.
“I need a little mental health at this point just to see if I’m thinking clearly or not, but I am having trouble helping everybody else and helping myself,” Chappell said. “I mean, we don’t have time to sit around, think about things and make a lot of decisions.”

Immediate past Commissioner of Commerce in Anambra state and member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Uche Okafor, Tuesday, announced his entrance into the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
Okafor, who disclosed this at a media parley organised by the senator representing Anambra South, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, and other candidates of YPP for 2023 general elections, said he emerged the candidate of the party for Oyi and Ayamelum federal constituency at its recently held primary.
He said he was wooed to YPP by Senator Ubah whose leadership sagacity and achievements in the Ninth Senate is glaring, and that with his former APGA structures that joined him from across 21 council areas, winning all the national and state Assembly legislative offices in Anambra would be easiest.
Also speaking, the YPP senatorial candidate for Anambra Central District, Dr. Chinedu Umeadi, explained that the party has better programmes for Anambra people, and the people of Nigeria than other political parties.
He urged Anambra residents to obtain their permanent voters cards and vote candidates of YPP in the 2023 general election as they would guarantee dividend of democracy for the people through quality representation. | https://www.blueprint.ng/2023-ex-anambra-commissioner-uche-okafor-joins-ypp/ | 2022-05-31T20:36:03Z | https://www.blueprint.ng/2023-ex-anambra-commissioner-uche-okafor-joins-ypp/ | false | 1 |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A former special education teacher in West Virginia pleaded guilty Tuesday to 10 misdemeanor counts of battery involving several students.
Nancy Boggs entered the plea in Kanawha County Circuit Court stemming from incidents last September at Holz Elementary School in Charleston, news outlets reported.
Boggs admitted to hitting one female student with a cabinet door, pulling her hair and pulling a chair out from under her. Boggs also admitted to slamming another child’s head into a desk and slapping a third child. Surveillance cameras captured the classroom incidents.
She faces up to a year in jail and a $500 fine for each count. Sentencing was set for Aug. 2.
In March, Gov. Jim Justice signed a bill aimed at protecting students by requiring public school administrators to view video of each special needs classroom periodically and eliminated a requirement that video footage be deleted after a certain time period. The parents of one of the students in Boggs’ case worked with lawmakers to strengthen an existing law. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Ex-WVa-special-education-teacher-pleads-guilty-in-17210364.php | 2022-05-31T20:44:12Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Ex-WVa-special-education-teacher-pleads-guilty-in-17210364.php | false | 14 |

NEWARK, Del., May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- We are writing to notify you of an incident that may affect the security of your personal information. On February 25, 2022, Christiana Spine Center, P.A. ("CSC") discovered unauthorized activity on our system. We are providing this notice to ensure that you are aware of the incident and so that you may take steps to monitor your identity, financial accounts and any existing credit file should you feel it is appropriate to do so.
While we have no evidence that any of your personal information was compromised or misused in any manner, we are taking appropriate precautionary measures to ensure your financial security and help alleviate concerns you may have.
What is CSC doing to address this situation?
Upon learning of the unauthorized activity on our system, CSC immediately launched an internal investigation into this incident. This investigation revealed that we were victims of a ransomware attack into our computer network. CSC retained several external, nationally recognized computer forensic experts to confirm these findings and to identify the full extent of data potentially exposed as result of this incident. While the investigation and restoration is ongoing, it is possible that files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, health insurance identification number and personal health information may have been accessed during this incident.
In response to the incident, we are providing identity monitoring services at no charge. These services provide alerts for twelve months from the date of enrollment when changes occur to any one of your Experian, Equifax or TransUnion credit files. This notification is sent to you the same day that the change or update takes place with the bureau. These services will be provided by Epiq through TransUnion, a company specializing in fraud assistance and remediation services.
How do I enroll for the free services?
To enroll in Credit Monitoring* services at no charge, please call 1-866-845-3116 from 9:00 am – 9:00 pm Eastern, Monday through Friday and follow the instructions provided. In order for you to receive the monitoring services described above, you must enroll within 90 days from the date of this letter.
What can I do on my own to address this situation?
To further protect against possible identity theft, fraud or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statement, to monitor your credit reports for suspicious activity, and to only respond to emails from a known/authenticated sender. If you choose not to use these services, we strongly urge you to do the following:
* Services marked with an "*" require an internet connection and e-mail account and may not be available to minors under the age of 18 years of age. Please note that when signing up for monitoring services, you may be asked to verify personal information for your own protection to confirm your identity.
If you choose to place a fraud alert on your own, you will need to contact one of the three major credit agencies directly at:
Also, should you wish to obtain a credit report and monitor it on your own:
- Under U.S. law, you are entitled to one (1) free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus. You can obtain your free copies by going to the following website: www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling them toll-free at 1-877-322-8228. (Hearing impaired consumers can access their TDD service at 1-877-730-4204).
- Upon receipt of your credit report, we recommend that you review it carefully for any suspicious activity.
- You may also contact the three major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of your credit report. At no charge, you can also have these credit bureaus place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. Note, however, that because a fraud alert tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it could delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity.
You can further educate yourself regarding identity theft, security freezes, and the steps you can take to protect yourself, by contacting your state Attorney General or the Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Trade Commission can be reached at: 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580, www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsotes/idtheft, 1877-ID-THEFT (877-438-4338); TTY; 866-653-4261. The Federal Trade Commission also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them, and information regarding fraud alerts and security freezes may also be obtained from the Federal Trade Commission. Instances known or suspected identity theft should also be reported to law enforcement and/or your state's Attorney General.
What if I want to speak with CSC regarding this incident?
You may still feel the need to speak with Christiana Spine Center regarding this incident. We have established a confidential assistance line for you to utilize if you have questions or concerns regarding the incident or the contents of this letter. Please call 1-866-845-3116 from 9:00 am – 9:00 pm Eastern, Monday through Friday.

BTS have today (May 31) taken part in a press conference at the White House.
Last week, it was announced that BTS would be speaking with President Joe Biden at the White House to address the issue of “Asian inclusion and representation” and to discuss their platform “as youth ambassadors who spread a message of hope and positivity across the world”.
All members of the group appeared at the press conference. RM spoke first at the conference and said it was “a great honour to be invited to the White House today to discuss the important issues of Anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion, and diversity.”
Jin followed, adding: “Today is the last day of AANHPI heritage month. We join the White House to stand with the AANHPI community and to celebrate,” before Jimin said: “We’re devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes including Asian American hate crimes, to put a stop [to] this and support the cause we’d like to take this opportunity to voice ourselves once again.”
J-Hope continued: “We are here today thanks to our ARMY, our fans worldwide, who are from different nationalities and cultures and use different languages. We are truly and always grateful,” while Jungkook said: “We still feel surprised that music created by South Korean artists reaches so many people around the world, transcending languages and cultural barriers. We believe music is always an amazing and wonderful unifier of all things.”
Towards the close, Suga added: “It’s not wrong to be different, and equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences,” while V said: “Everyone has their own history. We hope today is one step forward to respecting and understanding each and everyone as a valuable person.”
RM concluded the conference, thanking the White House for what he described as an “important opportunity to speak about [these] important causes.”
The group are due to meet President Biden in the Oval Office later today.

Earlier today, US Senators Mazie Hirono and Chris Coons entered a playful Twitter feud over their love for BTS, ahead of the boyband’s meeting with President Joe Biden.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal’s Natalie Andrews tweeted that US Senator Mazie Hirono (D) from the state of Hawaii was “looking for her invite” to see the boyband at the White House on today (May 31).
“I’m the only US Senator who knows who BTS is,” Hirono reportedly said, per Andrews.
Another US Senator, Chris Coons (D) from Delaware, later responded to the tweet, writing “not even close #BTSARMY”, along with a picture of his desk, where he placed a standee of the boyband, along with a placard which reads “Senator Chris Coons” in Korean.
Senator Hirono later replied to Coons via her own Twitter account, challenging him to name his favourite member of BTS to prove himself as a “true fan” of the group. “If you’re a true fan, who’s your bias? And don’t ask your staff,” she wrote.
BTS previously appeared at the United Nations in New York last September where they performed single ‘Permission To Dance’ after being named the UN’s Special Presidential Envoys for Future Generations and Culture. They also gave a speech at the assembly. | https://www.nme.com/news/bts-visit-the-white-house-to-discuss-anti-asian-hate-with-president-biden-3237640?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bts-visit-the-white-house-to-discuss-anti-asian-hate-with-president-biden | 2022-05-31T20:47:51Z | https://www.nme.com/news/bts-visit-the-white-house-to-discuss-anti-asian-hate-with-president-biden-3237640?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bts-visit-the-white-house-to-discuss-anti-asian-hate-with-president-biden | false | 4 |
The USA's Allyson Felix has come second in the women's 200m race of the Ostrava Golden Spike 2022, finishing in 22.78 behind Niger's Aminatou Seyni who posted a national record of 22.21.
The 36-year-old Felix, whose personal best of 21.69 was set in Eugene, Oregon in 2012, is in the beginning stages of a season that will mark her farewell from a sport she has dominated for over a decade.
Third place in Ostrava went to Italy's Vittoria Fontana who set a new personal best time of 22.97.
The last hurrah of an Olympic great
Felix is by any measurement a legend of her sport. She has 11 Olympic medals to her name - the most of any female track athlete in history - with seven of them gold, and is the all-time most decorated athlete in World Championships history with 18 medals.
As she looks forward to the prospect of one last appearance at the World Championships this July in Oregon, she can also look back on an incredible career without a hint of regret.
"I've had so many ups and downs along the way but I can't imagine my life without it," she said the day before the Golden Spike meet.
"There's always things that I wish I could have done better or differently but when I look back I have no regrets. I think everything happens for a reason and it has made me the person I am."
This year's World Athletics Championships are the first-ever to take place in the USA and running there, on a stage she has made her own, would mark a fitting end to Felix's career.
However, with nothing left to prove, she is first concentrating on the US Olympic trials that take place in June.
"I will compete at the US Trials," she said. "The world championship is not my ultimate goal, I am possibly looking towards some relays and like that."

Femke Bol breaks world 300m hurdles record
One of the highlights of the meet in Ostrava was the performance of the Netherlands' Femke Bol, who smashed the 300m hurdles world record in a time of 36.86 seconds.
Her mark was almost a second and a half faster than the Czech Republic's Zuzana Hejnova's previous world record of 38.16 in the non-Olympic distance race. The 22-year-old Bol, who won bronze in the 400m hurdles at Tokyo 2020, looks to be in excellent form in the year of the World Athletics Championships.
In the men's 100m race, Great Britain's Reece Prescod set a time of 9.93 seconds to take first place. In doing so, he beat another legend of the sport, Jamaica's Yohan Blake, to the line, as both Blake and Briton Zharnel Hughes set the same time of 10.05 seconds.
Elsewhere, Ethiopia's Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Lamecha Girma set a world lead time of 7:58.68 en route to victory in the 3,000m steeplechase.
"I am very glad for the result," he said after the race. "I felt strong and confident [and it's] good to feel that as the World Championships are approaching."
In the men's shot put, the USA's double Olympic silver medallist Joe Kovacs ended the day on top with a throw of 22.25 metres, while there were also strong wins for Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn in the women's 100m hurdles, Dominican Republic's Alexander Ogando in the men's 400m and Slovenia's Tina Sutej in the women's pole vault. | https://olympics.com/en/news/allyson-felix-second-in-ostrava-golden-spike | 2022-05-31T20:48:59Z | https://olympics.com/en/news/allyson-felix-second-in-ostrava-golden-spike | true | 1 |

Ally McCoist and Ray Parlour have labelled criticism of Liverpool defender Andy Robertson as ‘ridiculous’ after he was spotted drinking beer 72 hours before Scotland’s huge World Cup play-off against Ukraine.
The Scottish captain was in attendance for a parade to celebrate Liverpool’s two FA Cup and League Cup successes this season and was spotted with a beer in his hand during the open-top bus ride.
The images have led to Robertson coming in for criticism from some Scotland fans ahead of Wednesday’s play-off but McCoist and Parlour showed their support for the 28-year-old, insisting he will be ready to represent his country.
“Is he seriously getting a bit of stick for that? Why? He can’t be, no way,” said McCoist on talkSPORT Breakfast. “He’s been unbelievable, he’s been fantastic for club and country”
Parlour also weighed in, adding: “It’s ridiculous, he’s got to be the fittest guy I’ve seen in the Premier League.
“They will always have something to moan about, that’s how it is unfortunately.
“I’m sure he’ll be ready to go tomorrow night. It’s going to be a big, big game. He knows what’s at stake everybody in that Scotland team knows what’s at stake.”
Liverpool were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Real Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final with the parade already planned for Sunday regardless of the outcome in Paris.
Following the festivities, Robertson took to social media to thank Liverpool fans for the incredible turn out but quickly shifted his attention to the task of helping steer his country to the World Cup in Qatar.
Most read in Football
“Can’t tell you how much that means to everyone that, best fans in the world. Now Scotland Time,” he wrote, using an image of his nation’s flag.
A win for Scotland over Ukraine at Hampden on Wednesday would set up a straight shootout against Wales in Cardiff on Sunday with the winner heading to the Gulf State for November’s World Cup.
Scotland’s last appearance at a World Cup came in 1998 in France, when they were knocked out of a group consisting of Morocco, Norway and eventual losing finalists Brazil.

Which guitar wall hanger is best?
Storing your guitar in a hardshell case is recommended in most instances. However, if you frequently use your instrument and want it to remain easily accessible, or just want it to double as room decor, you can use a guitar wall hanger.
These pieces of hardware are designed specifically to securely mount to your wall and hold your guitar at the ready. The String Swing CC01K-BW Guitar Hanger provides sturdy support for your instrument and, thanks to its beautifully stained wooden base, makes for a classy addition to any room or studio.
What to know before you buy a guitar wall hanger
Placement
Consider where you would like to place your guitar and make sure that there is enough room under the hanger itself to allow your guitar to hang freely. Avoid tight hallways or high traffic areas where your instrument may get knocked into and dislodged from the hanger. Measure carefully to ensure that your guitar will hang at your preferred level.
Wall studs
To guarantee that your guitar is held safely, your guitar hanger must be screwed into a stud. Using drywall anchors puts both your instrument and your wall at risk, as these can be pulled out over time.
Humidity
Avoid areas of your home that receive direct sunlight or experience extremes in terms of moisture or dryness to ensure that your guitar isn’t damaged over time. Keep your guitar hung in a room that maintains around 50% humidity throughout the year.
What to look for in a quality guitar wall hanger
Padding
Select a hanger that has a heavily rubberized, or otherwise padded rest for your guitar to sit on. This will prevent the instrument’s head from being scratched or rubbed while placing it on the hanger. Thick padding also ensures that your hanger will fit a wide range of guitar neck sizes.
Locks
Some hangers feature a locking mechanism that secures the guitar to the hanger when the weight of the instrument is placed on it. Hangers with locks can provide you with some additional peace of mind when it comes to preventing your instrument from being knocked loose or falling.
Material and aesthetics
From black metal to plastic to stained wood, guitar hangers are available in many different styles. Choose a hanger that will match either the look of the room you intend to mount it in or the style of your guitar.
Multi-guitar hangers
If you have a collection of guitars that you would like to hang or display, a multi-guitar rack will allow you to do so without having to install each hanger separately. These models save time on installation and their wide dimensions allow for easier access to studs.
How much you can expect to spend on a guitar wall hanger
Guitar wall hangers can cost under $10 for basic, single mounts all the way up to $150 for multi-guitar models that feature locking mechanisms and stained wood construction.
Guitar wall hanger FAQ
Is it safe to hang my guitar?
A. As long as you install your hanger properly and keep your guitar in a climate-controlled room where it won’t be exposed to extremes, it will be perfectly safe. The weight pulling down on the head of the guitar while it’s hanging is negated by the tension the instrument is already under, due to the tightness of its strings.
Can I install my guitar hanger on a cement wall?
A. Yes, as long as you are sure to properly anchor it after drilling holes into the cement with a hammer drill.
What if I don’t have a stud to screw my guitar wall hanger into?
A. While many guitar hangers include drywall anchors meant to be used if you are unable to locate a stud in your desired wall, the safest option is to simply store the guitar in a different manner. Drywall anchors will not provide the strength needed to safely hold your instrument, especially if you are hanging heavy electric guitars.

How to Put the "Social" in Social Commerce
When social media first popped into existence, there was no intention of using it to circumvent the traditional sales process. Now, it can be a place for brands to drive growth and profit, but the social element of social commerce shouldn't be ignored.
When social media first popped into existence — your Six Degrees, your MySpaces, the prehistoric version of Facebook that looks like an entirely different site today — there was no intention of using them to circumvent the traditional sales process.
Now, with the rapid expansion of online marketplaces and a two-year pandemic that's made everyone much more tech-savvy, we're starting to see the integration of commerce and community in a way that the forefathers of social media never dreamed of — and probably never intended.
But, this is the reality that we as digital marketers and social media specialists live in. And if we want our brands to thrive on social media, we need to play by social media's new rules. Nearly every platform will allow you monetization opportunities, but that doesn't guarantee that you'll make sales. Like anything in marketing, it takes strategy to turn a profit on social media. And to be honest, the strategy for getting your socials off the ground and generating conversions isn't that different from how you'd set up a brick-and-mortar business for success. Here are some tips to follow for your brand to really thrive on social media:
Use the right platforms
First, you need to have the right location, or digitally speaking, utilize the right platforms. If you set up your lemonade stand in the middle of the woods, you're going to go home with empty pockets.
Let's do a hypothetical: You have a small business that manufactures and sells unique, bespoke furniture. If your main sales avenue is Twitter, you've goofed up. That is an Instagram and Pinterest play almost exclusively. Knowing where to build your social storefront is an integral part of generating revenue. (Pro-tip: Just don't try to sell things on Twitter).
Related: The Business of Harnessing the Power of Social Media
Spend money, make money
Next, realize that the oldest idiom in the business world applies to social commerce too. What will any Business 101 class tell you? "You need to spend money to make money."
Social media is not strictly pay-to-play, there are success stories of brands that have built up a presence mostly organically. I say "mostly," because even in those cases, they still had an advertising budget, minuscule as it might be. However, in the current landscape of social media, due to the sheer amount of competition, every industry pretty much demands that businesses who aren't household names put some amount of money behind their social channels.
Where should they be allocating these funds? In my personal opinion, you should be using them to boost your social media content to a larger audience instead of shelling out for Facebook ads. Content is what draws consumers in and turns them on to your brand. Make sure that the engaging copy and design you're producing is reaching the widest segment of your audience possible, and you'll see sales begin to steadily trickle in.
Related: Social Commerce Is the Future of Marketing. Are You Ready?
Know your buyers
And speaking of content — it really is king! But if you're trying to use it solely to generate a profit, then you're wasting it.
Let's do another hypothetical. If you live in even a modestly sized area, you probably have multiple grocery stores about equidistant from you. And yet, despite travel time being equal, you have a preferred store. What is it that takes you to Grocery Store X over Grocery Store Y?
Whatever star factor Grocery Store X has, that's what your digital content needs as well. It needs to not only be modern and well-designed, but it also needs to cater to the audience most likely to interact with your brand — your buyers.
This comes down to creating on-point buyer profiles that can precisely predict what kind of challenges your buyers are facing and how you can position yourself as the solution. Without buyer profiles, you're just casting a net into a body of water, unsure if it's a lake or swimming pool, and hoping you get a bite.
There's no right way to create a buyer profile, but to make one that helps you dictate your content, you'll need to get inside the mind of your audience. This means gaining their insights, whether that's through interviews or demographic research. Once you're inside your buyer's head, you can start to interact with your brand in the way they would start plotting content around their wants and needs that ultimately drives their purchasing decisions.
Social media has exponentially expanded since its creation, but at its core, it still maintains the town square sensibility to it. It can be a place for brands to drive growth and profit, but the social element of social commerce shouldn’t be ignored. Ultimately, running a business on social media isn't too dissimilar from running a business in real life. You have to pick the right platform, provide an X factor that helps you stick out from the competition, and know your buyers well enough to serve their needs. Whether you make sales through a checkout lane or a landing page, the route there isn't as different as you might think.

The reason President Biden might not be able to cancel student debt after all
The can-kicking on student loan forgiveness is about to end. With the current repayment pause set to expire in August, and no obvious rationalization for yet another extension, the Biden administration knows it must act soon. Forcing millions of borrowers into repayment on the eve of midterm elections that experts are predicting could be brutal for Democrats would be political catastrophe. Even U.S. Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona finally admitted several weeks ago that borrowers will eventually have to start repaying their outstanding loan debts.
The dollar cost of forgiveness is not cheap. Some estimates put it at more than $320 billion. That would dwarf other well-known, large-scale federal welfare programs like SNAP, for example, which currently costs roughly $68 billion a year.
Yet it would also fundamentally, and retroactively, override decades of federal financial aid policy. These would now be taxpayer dollars with no expectation of being paid back.
That forces the question: does blanket loan forgiveness turn federal loans into federal grants?
The answer could very well determine what authority the president has to actually act on student loan debt. Loans and grants are different financial instruments. If Congress wanted federal aid to be solely in the form of grants, it would have never created a loan program to begin with.
Instead, it not only created both loan and grant programs, it has chosen over the past 50 years to prioritize each differently. Every new loan program Congress created, and every loan limit increase it approved, was a clear preference to provide student aid with debt financing. Every call over the past 30 years to shore up the declining purchasing power of the federal Pell Grant was Congress expressing it does not believe providing the majority of federal financial aid through grants makes sense.
At any point in the past Congress could have opted to fund grants more than loans. It repeatedly chose not to.
If the way Congress pays for federal programs matters, then the real question around executive authority to forgive student loan debt is not whether the ambiguous wording within the federal Higher Education Act allows for it. The bigger issue is whether President Biden can set aside, or override, how the legislative branch chooses to spend taxpayer dollars.
Would the president converting a loan instrument approved by Congress into an entirely different grant product be an example of executive branch overreach? Does a president have the authority to retroactively change how Congress spends taxpayer money? Would forgiveness essentially create a several-hundred-billion-dollar grant program that only Congress can legally authorize?
The big gamble for the Biden administration and forgiveness advocates right now is the possibility that the courts — potentially even the Supreme Court — be asked to weigh in on a constitutional matter that feels more clear-cut than parsing the wording in existing law. Even worse would be a legal challenge that does not get resolved until after the midterm elections.
If the devil is in the details, to this point there have been surprisingly few. A memo the president asked the U.S. Department of Education to draft on the options for using executive authority was authored more than a year ago but still remains hidden from public scrutiny. And despite the president repeatedly saying forgiveness is a matter for Congress to decide, the first House bill to propose it did not come out until this past February. The Senate, which has some of the highest-profile public advocates for forgiveness in Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has yet to introduce a companion bill.
Student loan forgiveness continues to capture the public’s attention. For better or worse, federal student aid policy is going to begin fundamentally changing over the next several months. The only question right now is whether the current administration, Congress or the courts end up playing the biggest role in whatever path it heads down.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just one more step and the stroller would have been on the curb.
The thought haunts Latanya Byrd years after a driver racing down Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia struck and killed her 27-year-old niece, Samara Banks, and three of Banks’ young sons as they crossed the 12-lane road. Today, many of the conditions that led to the fatal 2013 crash still exist.
Since the crash, Byrd became an advocate for safer streets, fighting to get automated speed cameras placed along the boulevard where 10% to 13% of the city’s traffic fatalities happened each year prior to the coronavirus pandemic, city officials said.
And now, amid a national surge in traffic fatalities that federal officials have called a crisis and studies showing Black communities have been hit even harder during the pandemic, plans to redesign the city’s “corridor of death” — as some residents and safety advocates call Roosevelt— could be gaining traction.
Roosevelt Boulevard is an almost 14-mile (23-kilometer) maze of chaotic traffic patterns that passes through some of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods and census tracts with the highest poverty rates. Driving can be dangerous with cars traversing between inner and outer lanes, but biking or walking on the boulevard can be even worse with some pedestrian crossings longer than a football field and taking four light cycles to cross.
“You would not design a street or a road like that today,” said Christopher Puchalsky, policy director for Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability. “It feels like an expressway, but it’s in the middle and between neighborhoods.”
Roosevelt Boulevard was first designed in the early 1900s, but as the northeast neighborhoods grew and it was connected to a major highway in the 1950s, lanes were repeatedly added to handle the growing number of cars.
Many of the city’s ideas for fixing Roosevelt have been championed under new federal strategies. In the wake of increasing fatalities, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has pushed a “safe system” approach, encouraging cities and states to take into account more than just driver behavior when designing roads.
The Biden administration also created funding for safety improvements, including the bipartisan infrastructure law and a $5 billion federal aid package to cities over the next five years. Federal officials have pledged to prioritize equity when making funding decisions in the wake of a disproportionate 23% jump in Black traffic fatalities in 2020.
“We’ll certainly remind the federal government when we are applying for grants of the equity priorities that the leadership has set out,” Puchalsky said.
Kelley Yemen, director of Philadelphia’s Complete Streets program, said the city is hoping for federal money to begin a long-term redesign of Roosevelt outlined in a study released in 2019. The two options would either make the center lanes a restricted expressway or cut speeds and convert car lanes to bicycle and transit lanes. Both carry billion-dollar price tags.
The study includes a series of smaller projects to improve safety at high-fatality stretches on the road by 2025, some already started, but residents are skeptical.
Eva Gbaa has been impatient to see changes. Her 17-year-old nephew, John “JJ” Gbaa Jr., was killed in a November 2018 hit-and-run as he tried to cross Roosevelt while walking home after hanging out with friends. He was alone at the time, and a lot of the circumstances of the crash were unknown.
A passerby found JJ and called the police, but he died at a hospital. No arrest has been made, and the family still agonizes over how someone could leave the big-hearted boy to die.
“JJ would ask me for money … but I didn’t know until his friends told me after he passed that he would buy them food if they didn’t have any,” said John Gbaa Sr., JJ’s father. “He loved people. He’d give out his last dollar to his friends.”
JJ and his father had moved to Philadelphia in 2017 to be closer to family, and JJ was making huge strides in school. He loved being near his cousins, and he would hang on his aunt as she cooked traditional African rice dishes.
“He would say, ‘Auntie, when I graduate, I will go to college and then I will take care of you.’ But he never had the chance,” Eva Gbaa said, tamping down tears. “I hope, I hope they do something to make sure no family goes through this, so it doesn’t happen again.”
The family has started a school in JJ’s honor in their home country of Liberia, the John G. Gbaa Jr. Academy for kindergarten through eighth grade, in hopes of giving his dream of education to others. They pay the teachers and send food, clothing and books to the students with the help of small donations.
Around Philadelphia, aggressive driving during the pandemic drove fatalities to 156 in 2020, a sharp increase from 90 deaths in 2019. Preliminary data from the Philadelphia Police Department showed a decrease in 2021 to 133 fatalities, still above pre-pandemic levels.
The data doesn’t include the race or ethnicity of the people killed, but an Associated Press analysis showed fatalities in neighborhoods where more than 70% of residents are people of color increased from about 50% in 2019 to more than 67% in 2021. The number of accidents happening in the poorest neighborhoods also increased slightly.
Sonia Szczesna, director of active transportation for the Tristate Transportation Campaign, a nonprofit transportation advocacy organization, said Black and brown communities and low-income communities are often the most impacted by high-fatality roads.
“They divide these communities, and often residents have to travel these roadways by bike or by foot without access to high-quality public transportation. So there is an inequity in this infrastructure,” Szczesna said.
Data for the first four months of 2022 showed more pedestrians died on Philadelphia roads so far this year than people in cars. And hit-and-runs were higher in the first four months of this year than the same timeframe in the previous two years, worrying police and other city officials.
But fatalities on Roosevelt stayed steady during the pandemic rather than increasing, Yemen said, largely because, she believes, of the pilot speed cameras.
Byrd, who co-founded the nonprofit advocacy group Families for Safe Streets, lobbied hard for the speed cameras, writing hundreds of personal letters to legislators telling them about her niece and her kids. The cameras went live at eight intersections in June 2020, but only after state legislation, a city ordinance and negotiations with the Philadelphia Parking Authority, which manages the program.
More than 224,000 warning tickets for driving more than 11 mph over the speed limit were issued in the first 30 days of a 60-day warning period, but by February 2021, that number had dropped to fewer than 17,000 tickets, according to data from the parking authority. Overall, speeding is down by more than 91% on the road, city and parking authority officials said.
Despite the impact, the cameras will sunset in 2023 unless extended by the Legislature.
The Federal Highway Administration gave states the green light this year to tap into federal funding to install speed cameras, saying they can reduce the number of injury crashes by 50%.
Byrd’s niece Samara Banks was 21 and pregnant with her first child in 2007 when she found a four-bedroom house a few blocks south of Roosevelt Boulevard.
Her family had reservations because she’d have to cross the boulevard any time she wanted to visit. But Banks’ mother had just died and she needed the larger home so she could take in her four younger siblings and raise her own family.
Byrd said Banks was the kind of mom and auntie who always had something planned. “At all of the family get-togethers, she would always get all the kids in a circle and have them playing games and doing dances, or she’d make up these little skits for them to do. She always had a plan and the kids always came first,” Byrd said.
After spending a hot July day visiting and swimming and having water balloon fights with the kids, Banks decided to walk home rather than calling a cab to take her the mile (1.6 kilometers) across Roosevelt, as she usually did.
She was pushing her 7-month-old, Saa’mir Williams, and 23-month-old, Saa’sean Williams, in a double stroller. Her 4-year-old, Saa’deem Griffin, was holding onto the stroller and walking beside her.
Witnesses told police that two cars had been racing, weaving between other cars and speeding down the boulevard. One of the drivers lost control and slammed into the family, throwing Banks more than 200 feet and crumpling the stroller. She and the three children died.
Banks’ younger sister and 5-year-old son, Saa’yon Griffin, were walking ahead and survived the crash.
Officials have since installed a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing at the intersection, renamed Banks Way in honor of the young mother. The two men accused of racing were eventually convicted or pleaded guilty to charges in the deaths. One of the men was a teenager when his own mother had died crossing Roosevelt Boulevard.
“It was hard. I would tell Saa’yon he needed to be strong, and I remember there was this once he just stomped his foot and said no,” Byrd said. “He told me he was tired of being strong and he just wanted his mom and his brothers back. We all do.”

DENVER — The Columbine school shooting in 1999 is often referred to as a watershed moment.
Since then, more than 311,000 kids have been exposed to gun violence in schools during school hours, according to an analysis from the Washington Post.
The Denver North High School shooting is not on that list.
Because the shooting never happened. Because a student by the name of Aaron Stark did not choose to act on his rage against the world.
“In 1996, I was really depressed. I was homeless. I had grown up in a really dark and violent family and I internalized that,” said Stark.
“I was told I was the monster a lot. I was told I was worthless. I was told I was nothing and when you’re told that enough, you’ll try to be the best monster you can be.”
Stark first shared his story in a 2018 open letter titled, “I was almost a school shooter.”
He says after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School shooting in Parkland, Florida claimed the lives of 17 people, he felt compelled to let the world know something he had never shared with anyone previously.
“I was going to attack either the mall food court down the street or my school,” said Stark in a recent sit-down conversation with Scripps National Correspondent Dan Grossman.
“The point of my attack wasn’t going to be to attack the students. It wasn’t going to be to attack the school. That was the damage that was going to be caused. The point of my attack was to make my parents deal with creating a monster."
Stark says after years of bullying in school and abuse at home, he had enough and had planned to shoot up Denver’s North High School when he was 17. He had planned to get a gun from a classmate and bring it to school and kill as many people as he could before he killed himself.
The shooting never happened, though, because only days before the attack was set to take place, Aaron stopped by the home of a good friend who, unaware of Aaron’s plan, invited him inside his home for a meal after seeing the rough shape he was in.
He fed him, consoled him, and Aaron’s friend told him he was a good kid in a bad world.
Those words forced Aaron off the ledge he had built.
“I had never had anything like that. I had never had anybody in my entire world validate my existence with that kind of passion,” said Stark.
“I looked at this kid [who committed the Uvalde school shooting] and he committed one of the worst possible actions you could ever even contemplate. He shot a whole school of school children and all I saw when I looked at that story was I saw me 30 years ago. I saw the pain that I was going through. I saw the depression I was in. I saw the self-harm."
"I think that both sides right now are looking at mental health and gun control and no one is looking at the pain. I think at the bottom of it is a whole generation of kids in pain trying to figure out how to rationalize that pain and deal with it. We need to pull them back into the light and show them that they’re people. I thought that I was invisible. And to be seen and acknowledged in that kind of way, it will literally change your life, and it’s the simplest, easiest thing. It costs nothing to be kind. It costs nothing to be nice.”
After sharing his story for the first time, Stark has served as a guest speaker at schools, conferences, and mental health workshops.
He has also started the Facebook page YouAreNotAlone, which boasts more than 2,600 members as it provides emotional support and community for people who face similar challenges as him.
In the four years it has been up and running, the Facebook page has helped many others overcome their own traumas.
As for Stark, he recently celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary with his wife, Becky, and their four kids.
“I am in the best place I’ve ever been in,” said Stark. “I’m a happy family man. I have 4 wonderful kids and they have gotten to spend their entire lives with not one time having to watch a parent hit another parent, not one time having the police get called because of a fight, and not one time having to move because we were running from the cops. I won. I won at life. My kids are my friends.” | https://www.wxyz.com/news/national/man-says-he-was-almost-a-school-shooter-reflects-on-uvalde-tragedy | 2022-05-31T20:56:55Z | https://www.wxyz.com/news/national/man-says-he-was-almost-a-school-shooter-reflects-on-uvalde-tragedy | false | 10 |

Steelers WR Johnson joins OTAs amid murky contract status
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson is back at work. Johnson has joined the Steelers for the club’s second week of organized team activities. Johnson did not participate in the first week of OTAs, which are voluntary. Johnson is about the enter the final season of the rookie contract he signed after the Steelers selected him in the third round in 2019. Pittsburgh does not negotiate contracts during the season, meaning it has a little more than three months to sign Johnson to an extension. | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/05/31/steelers-wr-johnson-joins-otas-amid-murky-contract-status/ | 2022-05-31T20:58:54Z | https://ktvz.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/05/31/steelers-wr-johnson-joins-otas-amid-murky-contract-status/ | false | null |
5-Star SF Leonard Miller to Pursue Pro Options; Undecided on NBA Draft vs. G League
May 31, 2022There will reportedly be no college basketball for highly regarded prospect Leonard Miller.
Joe Tipton of On3 Sports reported the forward will pursue professional options. He previously announced Arizona, Kentucky and the G League Ignite as his three finalists while also declaring for the 2022 NBA draft and keeping the option to maintain his collegiate eligibility.
Jonathan Givony of ESPN noted Miller has until the June 13 deadline to decide whether he will withdraw from the draft.
While Miller is just 18 years old, he is eligible for the draft because he is far enough removed from high school after a postgraduate year at Fort Erie International Academy in Ontario.
It isn't much of a silver lining for Arizona fans, but Tipton noted the Pac-12 program was the "presumed favorite to land Miller" if he did elect to play college basketball.
The Wildcats just went 33-4 and won the conference regular-season and tournament titles in head coach Tommy Lloyd's first season, and landing such a talented recruit would have been an ideal way to maintain that momentum.
According to 247Sports 'composite rankings, Miller is a 5-star prospect and the No. 26 overall player, No. 9 small forward and No. 1 player from Ontario in the 2022 recruiting class. He would have surely played his way into the immediate rotation at either Kentucky or Arizona and will look to do the same in the NBA or with the G League Ignite.
Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman released an updated mock draft Tuesday, and he projected the Los Angeles Clippers would select Miller with the No. 43 pick.
That Miller is seen as a second-round pick may convince him to withdraw from the draft and hone his game for a year on the G League Unite. It would give him the opportunity to test his skill set against elevated competition and work on some of the things the scouts tell him he needs to improve during the draft process.
Perhaps he will be a first-rounder next year if he chooses that route. | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10037325-5-star-sf-leonard-miller-to-pursue-pro-options-undecided-on-nba-draft-vs-g-league | 2022-05-31T20:59:03Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10037325-5-star-sf-leonard-miller-to-pursue-pro-options-undecided-on-nba-draft-vs-g-league | false | 1 |
MINNEAPOLIS – Two Minnesotans filed federal civil rights lawsuits Tuesday against the city of Minneapolis and Derek Chauvin, alleging they were traumatized when the former police officer used his “signature move” of kneeling on their necks — the same way that he killed George Floyd.
John Pope Jr. was just 14 in September 2017 when he says Chauvin subjected him to gratuitous force while responding to a domestic assault report. The other case alleges Chauvin used excessive force against Zoya Code in June 2017 after she allegedly tried to strangle her mother with an extension cord.
Both lawsuits claim racism; Pope and Code are Black and Chauvin is white. They allege the city knew he had a record of misconduct but didn't stop him and let him stay on the job long enough to kill Floyd on May 25, 2020, a case that led to a national reckoning on racial injustice. Both lawsuits seek unspecified damages and name other officers involved.
The Minneapolis City Attorney's Office indicated it is considering settlements. Criminal charges against Pope and Code were eventually dropped.
"The incidents involving John Pope and Zoya Code are disturbing," Interim City Attorney Peter Ginder said in a statement. “We intend to move forward in negotiations with the Plaintiffs on these two matters and hope we can reach a reasonable settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached on one or both lawsuits, the disputes will have to be resolved through the normal course of litigation.”
Chauvin’s attorneys have not responded to requests for comment.
Pope and Code are represented by Minneapolis civil rights attorney Robert Bennett, who negotiated a $20 million settlement for the family of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, an Australian woman who was fatally shot by a Minneapolis police officer in 2017. Bennett also negotiated a nearly $3 million settlement for the family of Philando Castile, a Black motorist killed by a suburban officer in 2016.
The city paid out $27 million to the family of George Floyd. Bennett was not involved in that settlement.
Chauvin admitted to many of Pope’s allegations when he pleaded guilty in December to federal civil rights charges in Floyd’s death, a deal that also included a guilty plea for his actions against Pope. Chauvin is awaiting sentencing on the federal charges. He was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in state court last year for murdering Floyd by pressing his knee to the Black man's neck for 9 1/2 minutes as he pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
According to Pope's complaint, his mother was drunk when she called police because she was upset with him and his 16-year-old sister for leaving their cellphone chargers plugged in when not in use, leading to a physical confrontation. It alleges Chauvin struck Pope in the head with a large metal flashlight at least four times as a scuffle ensued, then put Pope in a chokehold.
“Defendant Chauvin then executed his signature move: he pinned John to the floor with his body weight, pressing his left knee into John’s upper back and neck. ... Chauvin would proceed to hold John in this prone position for more than fifteen minutes, all while John was completely subdued and not resisting," the complaint alleges. "Over those minutes, John repeatedly cried out that he could not breathe.”
The complaint alleges that at least eight other officers did nothing to intervene. It says Chauvin did not mention in his report that he had hit Pope with his flashlight, nor did he mention pinning Pope for so long. Chauvin's sergeant reviewed and approved his report and use of force, “despite having firsthand knowledge that the report was false and misleading,” it alleges.
The lawsuit alleges that in addition to physical injuries, Pope suffered significant emotional distress and continues to attend counseling and therapy.
Code's lawsuit alleges Chauvin and another officer were investigating her mother's assault report when they handcuffed her on the ground after a brief struggle. When she refused to stand up, the officers carried her outside.
“Outside the residence, Defendant Chauvin gratuitously slammed Zoya’s unprotected head on the ground. Then he immediately took his signature pose, kneeing on the back of Zoya’s neck,” the complaint alleges. It says, his knee was on her neck for 4 minutes and 41 seconds.
Code's complaint alleges that Chauvin's partner that day did nothing to intervene, and that his sergeant that shift later reviewed and approved the use of force.
Code acknowledges having a history of mental illness and homelessness, and alleges Chauvin's actions made her condition worse.
Both lawsuits claim if the department had disciplined Chauvin back then, “history could have been stopped from repeating itself with George Floyd.” | https://www.click2houston.com/news/national/2022/05/31/new-federal-lawsuits-target-ex-cop-who-killed-george-floyd/ | 2022-05-31T20:59:45Z | https://www.click2houston.com/news/national/2022/05/31/new-federal-lawsuits-target-ex-cop-who-killed-george-floyd/ | true | 31 |

California zoo welcomes first baby wallaby
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A California zoo has welcomed its first baby wallaby.
According to the Santa Barbara Independent and KSBY-TV, the Santa Barbara Zoo announced Tuesday that the joey, born to Bennett’s wallaby Kalina, has been spotted in its mother’s pouch.
“The joey is 5-6 months old, which is when they usually start exploring life outside of their mother’s pouch,” the zoo wrote in a Facebook post. “Our animal care staff and a few eagle-eyed guests have started seeing a little head or legs poking out over the last few days!”
The post included a video of Kalina enjoying some greens as the joey appears to move.
“As she eats and peers around at her surroundings, we can clearly see something moving around in her belly!” the zoo captioned the video. “While no body parts of the joey were captured in this video, it’s clear that her adorable little offspring is here and starting to get curious about its new home.”
Zoo official Julie Barnes said in a statement that the tiny marsupial isn’t quite ready to emerge completely, the Independent reported.
“It will still be a while before the joey is ready to come all the way out of the pouch and spend time exploring the habitat with Kalina, and it will continue to hop in and out of the pouch until it is about 1 year old,” the statement read.
Bennett’s wallabies are native to Tasmania and Australia’s eastern coast, according to KSBY.

CHENNAI: A circumstantial criminal, a revolutionist and an innocent man are all in prison together. Who gets justice? Well, no one. In the fictional world so vividly created by Akshay Nagarajan, there is little room for due process or a semblance of a functional system. When you realise that Akshay himself is a lawyer and his fiction finds its roots in the encounters of his day job, this version of the barroom joke takes a grim turn. And you’re left with the weight of your blissful ignorance, now shattered for good. Well, that’s precisely the point of the tragicomedy Akshay presents in collaboration with TheatreKaran, Undertrials.
Of everyday injustice
Akshay brings to stage the horrors of our justice system through specifically detailed stand-ins. The play opens with two inmates with considerable musical prowess. While one quietly plays the flute, the other accompanies him with a ganjira; a result of the prison’s ‘music therapy’, we learn. The prison guards left to guard them find ways to amuse themselves at the expense of these musicians. How? By taunting them with the threat of thrashing. Even as this scene is played for comic relief, and brilliantly so by the cast, it says more about life in prison, stripped of dignity and basic rights, than pages of dialogue and discourse could ever have.
Our guards are no cardboard cut-outs either. They consider themselves the victims of the system too — left at a dead-end job, with little power to effect any change, forced to do their ‘duty’ even as the idea of imprisonment as a means of rehabilitation is being crushed under their very boots. While you may not be inclined to empathise with their plight when the harrowing stories of thousands of prisoners (even the guilty ones) vie for your attention, it does make you pause. Makes you consider just how much you can blame the cops for everything.
In Akshay’s world — as in real life — no two prisoners are alike. Sapru, the self-proclaimed political activist, admits to having committed a crime to question the injustices of the system. Yet, he naively believes that the same system would give him a fair shot at a trial. His time in prison is full of political platitudes and poetic struggle. For the conventionally naive Prasad, who doesn’t even know why he was put in prison in the first place, blind desperation and despair fill the day. For the veteran undertrial Gobind, who has served 14 years even though the maximum punishment for his crime is four, the prison has become his home.
Of black, white and the grey
Now, these men are no saints. Gobind had no trouble making saarayam for a living; little did it matter to him that his boss would add ‘something’ to it. It just so happened that he had to take the blame for it. Caught in the cycle of poverty and the pressure to make money, there’s little love left over for his family. His wife would certainly agree, having had him ‘force himself’ on her one too many times. For all his intellectual leanings, Sapru is more delusional than a revolutionary. His belief in his ‘cause’ seems to have done little to make him go beyond mere demonstration. Prasad seems to have been passing through life relying on one person or the other; the latest to have taken the burden is the unrewarded wife and his lawyer, Sharada.
None of this makes you like the men you’re expected to empathise with. Yet, that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? That justice systems go beyond human fallacies of personal prejudice and opinions and allow for the due course. You’re expected to empathise with the men for the rights they have lost, even if you may not want to sit down for a cup of tea with them.
How do you portray the shocking levels of lapses in the system — where arrests are made long before the investigation, basic procedures like FIR and chargesheet are given a miss, cops go beyond their brief and judges barely fulfil theirs? Akshay stages a play within a play. When the lawyer wife comes calling, the cops don’t offer the next step but act out the doomed possibilities of a court hearing that’ll never come.
At the end of the hour, you buy all this pain and prejudice presented to you because the cast make quite a case for the characters. The music, blended into the scene by flautist Suraj and percussionist Sarva, adds more to it than you’d expect. After four showings at Alliance Francaise, Undertrials has certainly left its mark on the audience. Speaking of the play, Akshay’s mentor and former judge of the Supreme Court, Jasti Chelameswar suggested that awareness is the way to finding solutions to the problem.

Our search feature is unarguably, in no means 2nd best amongst other sneaks that might try to do just for you without a charge when you need us and only trust your dear eyes and mind…... D.I can work under  name (as of SEATTLE (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee’s appointments to an obscure regulatory panel have cost Washington state $70,000 in a public records lawsuit settlement — and forced the governor to name new appointees.
The dispute centered on Inslee’s handling of appointments to the Washington State Building Code Council, which establishes minimum standards for new construction, including rules for energy efficiency, plumbing and fire safety, The Seattle Times reported.
State law says two of the council’s 15 members must be nominated by trade associations representing residential and commercial builders. But Inslee last year ignored builder group recommendations and instead named two of his own picks.
The Building Industry Association of Washington and the Associated General Contractors of Washington sued over the appointments and filed another lawsuit saying the governor’s office failed to turn over relevant documents after a public records request.
The state later admitted that a member of Inslee’s staff had made a material false statement in a sworn court declaration by saying one of Inslee’s nominees had been put forward by another building trade group, when he had not.
In a Dec. 10 court hearing, Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon called that misrepresentation “at a minimum … negligent. It may have been reckless, it may have been intentional.” But he declined to immediately impose sanctions against the state over it.
In April, the state and the builder groups agreed to a single settlement agreement of both lawsuits.
The settlement required Inslee’s appointees to resign and for the governor to name two new members to the council from a list of nominees provided by the groups. Inslee named the two new members this month. The agreement also required Inslee’s office to pay $70,000 to settle the public records case.
The builder groups say it should not have taken litigation to get Inslee to follow the law.
Inslee spokesperson Mike Faulk noted in an email Friday the settlement stipulated the governor’s office did not act “in bad faith” on either the appointments or the records. | https://www.knkx.org/government/2022-05-31/inslee-settles-lawsuit-over-building-council-appointments | 2022-05-31T21:12:49Z | https://www.knkx.org/government/2022-05-31/inslee-settles-lawsuit-over-building-council-appointments | false | 1 |
June is Airbag Recall Repair Month in Michigan
Data shows the issue is disproportionately impacting Michigan's lower-income communities
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram dealers urge drivers to check for dangerous safety recalls - giving away a $50 prepaid Mastercard for airbag repairs made in June
DETROIT, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 269,900 vehicles in Michigan – across all makes and models – have unrepaired, recalled airbags. When exposed over time to heat and humidity, these recalled airbags can transform from life-saving devices to life-threatening ones – in a crash, they could rupture and cause injury or death.
To help keep drivers safe heading into the summer heat, Governor Whitmer has joined Check To Protect in designating June as Airbag Recall Repair Month in Michigan. This statewide campaign aims to encourage Michigan drivers of all vehicles to make safety a priority by taking immediate action to prevent serious injury and death in the Great Lakes State. It's critical that every Michigan driver check their vehicle as hot summer weather can increase the risk associated with defective recalled airbags.
In Michigan, regions with the highest number if open airbag recalls are also ones that are experiencing higher poverty rates. Research shows these communities are less likely to take action to get severe recalls, like the Takata airbag, fixed. This inaction could be due to the communities' low level of recall awareness, lack of an existing relationship with dealers or limited availability for recall repairs due to work or family obligations. Moreover, drivers of older or used vehicles are harder to reach by conventional recall outreach measures and are less likely to know the recall status of their vehicles.
That's why Check to Protect is reminding Michigan drivers that it is fast, free and easy to check for airbag recalls and get them repaired. Here's what drivers need to know:
- Check for Recalls:
- Schedule a FREE repair appointment at a local dealership.
Throughout the state, Check To Protect, dealers and automakers are getting the word out to vehicle owners through mailers, advertising, vehicle and door-to-door canvassing and other outreach. These messages are notifying drivers of open airbag recalls (or encouraging them to check at www.CheckToProtect.org) and urging them to protect themselves and their loved ones by getting these dangerous airbags replaced immediately.
Airbag Recall Repair Month is an effort by Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram as part of the Check To Protect program. Check To Protect was founded by the National Safety Council and Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram in 2017. Today, program partners include vehicle safety advocates as well as Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Volvo. Check To Protect welcomes any automaker or consumer and vehicle safety organization to join the effort to raise awareness for vehicle safety recalls.

Iranian Media Names Five Israelis as Potential Targets Amid Warning of ‘Real Threat’ to Avenge Slain IRGC Officer
by Sharon Wrobel
Five Israelis were listed as potential targets in a report by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency on Sunday, as the chief of Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed to avenge last week’s assassination of a top Iranian colonel.
Fars published the profiles of five Israelis described as “experts in military, security, cyber, and technology fields of the Zionist regime,” who it claimed have to “live in hiding” due to being under close and constant surveillance by Tehran’s security and intelligence services. Information that has been gathered about them allegedly includes details on family members, pictures and videos, home and work addresses, landline and mobile phone numbers, and mailboxes, according to the report.
Citing internal information and Iranian security sources, Fars alleged that the five Israelis were involved in “sabotage in Islamic countries and in the assassination of resistance activists.” One of the listed individuals is retired Maj. Gen. Amos Malka, who headed the IDF’s Intelligence Forces Command and is now involved with Israeli cybersecurity companies, which Fars claimed are among major contractors of the Israeli Mossad and the Shin Bet security agency.
The Fars report comes as the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami on Monday blamed Israel for killing Col. Hassan Sayyad Khodai in Tehran on May 22. Salami vowed to avenge Khodai, who he said was assassinated “by the most vicious people, the Zionists.” Israeli media reported that the slain IRGC officer was involved in plots targeting Israelis worldwide.

Israel on Monday warned its citizens to avoid traveling to Turkey, which currently has a “high level of risk” amid a “real threat” of an Iranian response to Khodaei’s killing.
“For several weeks, especially since Iran has accused Israel in the death of an IRGC officer last week, there is increasing concern in the security establishment regarding Iranian efforts to attack Israeli targets around the world,” Israel’s National Security Council said in a statement, citing recent attempts to harm Israeli businessmen and employees of the Israeli consulate. “There is also a higher threat level in additional countries bordering Iran.” | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/05/30/iranian-media-names-five-israelis-as-potential-targets-amid-warning-of-real-threat-to-avenge-slain-irgc-officer/ | 2022-05-31T21:17:44Z | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/05/30/iranian-media-names-five-israelis-as-potential-targets-amid-warning-of-real-threat-to-avenge-slain-irgc-officer/ | false | 1 |

Pair of £5 dungarees sells for £12k – you’ll never guess the film they’re from
A PAIR of £5 dungarees sold for £12,000 after they turned out to be from the first Star Wars film.
The owner had the baggy denim outfit in her wardrobe for more than 40 years.
She took it to be valued after spotting a label reading: “Joe Kaye, colonel 10545 Star Wars.”
Research identified him as an actor playing a Lutrillian in the 1977 blockbuster.
And the dungarees sold to a US bidder for £9,000 in Teddington, South West London, with fees and tax taking the total to £12,456.
Chris Kirkham, of auctioneers Hansons, said: “Bids flooded in but we were still dazzled by the result. Those denim dungarees really did skyrocket.”
The anonymous owner, from South London, bought the denims at a theatrical clothing sale in Camden, North London, not long after the film came out.
She said: “I thought I could wear them to a fancy dress party or something.”
ONE of 25 rocket-firing prototype figures of Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett is tipped to sell for £120,000 in Pennsylvania, US.
Maker Kenner decided to mass-produce only non-firing versions. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18745583/dungarees-sells-12k-film/ | 2022-05-31T21:21:48Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18745583/dungarees-sells-12k-film/ | false | 4 |
