FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — An 8-year-old New Hampshire boy died Sunday after being shot in the neck the day before, authorities said, by a man who was firing at cars driving by his home in South Carolina, according to a county coroner.
The child’s father, who was driving the car, was also shot in the leg but is expected to survive, said Florence County coroner Keith von Lutcken. His name has not been released.
The shooting happened while the family was on vacation in South Carolina.
Quarius Naqua Dunham died after being taken off life-support, said von Lutcken. He had been in the hospital in critical condition since the shooting.
According to von Lutcken, an autopsy is planned for Friday at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Before the child’s death, authorities charged Charles Montgomery Allen, 40, of Florence, with two counts of attempted murder, three counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
“No motive. Just probably methed up. He’s got a history,” Sheriff TJ Joye said. “He’s incarcerated now without incident. Just a senseless, senseless act.”
In the family’s hometown in New Hampshire, Portsmouth School Department Superintendent Steve Zadravec gave WBZ-TV News a statement that went out to parents about the shooting, saying in part:
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share the sad news that one of our third grade students at LHS was killed this weekend. His family was on vacation and were victims of a random shooting in South Carolina. An event like this touches our community as a whole. Our hearts are with the family as we support each other through this unbelievable tragedy.”
The superintendent also said parents were being offered support in speaking with their children as well as grief counseling resources. | https://fox2now.com/news/national/8-year-old-boy-dies-in-senseless-gunfire-aimed-at-passing-cars-authorities-say/ | 2022-05-31T21:23:50Z | https://fox2now.com/news/national/8-year-old-boy-dies-in-senseless-gunfire-aimed-at-passing-cars-authorities-say/ | false | 13 |
NEW YORK — Fresh off her breakthrough role in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” Rachel Zegler will star in Lionsgate’s planned “Hunger Games” prequel.
The studio announced Tuesday that Zegler will play Lucy Gray Baird in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” an extension of the “Hunger Games” saga that takes place decades before the adventures of Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen. Katniss played in the 74th Hunger Games; Baird will be a part of the 10th Hunger Games.
Suzanne Collins, whose books were adapted into the $3 billion blockbuster franchise, in 2020 published a prequel novel upon which “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” is based. In the film, Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from the impoverished District 12, sings in a pivotal moment during the reaping ceremony. Zegler stars opposite Tom Blyth, who plays the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow.
“Our casting team, Deb Zane and Dylan Jury, spearheaded an exhaustive search, reading hundreds of actors in search of our perfect Lucy Gray. That search ended when Rachel Zegler blew the roof off with her depth and breadth of talent as an actor, singer, and performer,” said producer Nina Jacobson in a statement. “Rachel is utterly compelling; just like Lucy Gray, her voice and charisma command the stage while her inner strength and humanity transform those around her.”
Lionsgate is to release the movie in theaters Nov. 17, 2023. | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/05/31/rachel-zegler-tapped-for-hunger-games-prequel/ | 2022-05-31T21:24:43Z | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/05/31/rachel-zegler-tapped-for-hunger-games-prequel/ | true | 25 |

A UK minister claims the travel industry had months to prepare for the half-term spike in travel but unions say it is not that simple.
Arts minister Lord Parkinson said the Department for Transport had been working alongside the travel and aviation industry to ensure they had enough resources to cover the half-term and Jubilee weekends when travel would peak.
"We have been on a long pathway back to recovery so that people can enjoy this moment and [companies] should be making sure that people are able to get away on holiday and enjoy it fully," he told Sky News.
Lord Parkinson said there were "lots of opinionated people in the aviation industry," referencing airline bosses who had been blaming the government for staff shortages.

Advertise with NZME.Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Bristol and Dublin airports have all been affected by flight delays, cancellations and massive queues.
However, Lord Parkinson said they had urged those in the industry, for many months, to ensure they had enough staff.
"We have been working with people across the sector to make sure that they are preparing for the reopening of the economy and of travel after the pandemic abated," he said.
Customers at major airports like Gatwick and Stansted have been vocal on social media, sharing stories of cancelled and delayed flights and massive queues.
Gatwick Airport claimed they were busy but not chaotic.
"The airport is operating normally but will be busy today with over 780 flights and 110,000 passengers," said a spokesperson. "We continue to advise passengers to arrive at the airport as soon as check-in opens for their flight. Typically, this is 3 hours for long-haul and 2-2 ½ for short-haul."
Despite the government urging the industry to restaff for months, staff shortages have still been an issue. However, according to GMB union's national secretary Andy Prendergast, said approach ignored the reality.
"Airport workers need training, and they need security clearance. They cannot be recruited overnight," he told Sky News.
"With better wages and better use of furlough, the industry would not be struggling for staff."

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.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Ex-WVa-special-education-teacher-pleads-guilty-in-17210364.php | 2022-05-31T21:28:03Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Ex-WVa-special-education-teacher-pleads-guilty-in-17210364.php | true | 14 |

EL CAJON, Calif. (KGTV) — Granite Hills High School in El Cajon was the scene of a shooting that happened 21 years ago, and a resource officer says he relives the incident every time a mass shooting happens around the country.
Richard Agundez, who stepped up as a hero and stopped the gunman says every time he hears about a mass shooting like the most recent in Uvalde takes him back to that day.
"The bad guy was standing over there. The suspect was standing over there. He was on the side. I had to check the background. I couldn't shoot if I had kids in the background. It lined up very much in my favor that I was able to engage him in an open, clean area," he recalled about the school shooting in El Cajon.
It's a day that the El Cajon community won't forget. On March 22, 2001, retired officer Agundez sprang into action to protect his students when a gunman terrorized granite hills high school.
"All I remember is that he was there and he was attempting to reload his shotgun and I wasn't going to let that happen. That was it. He was going to go down," said Agundez.
The retired officer says it took him less than a minute from the moment he called in the shooting to take down the gunman. He tells those who call him a hero he was just doing his job and credits his response to his training as a SWAT officer.
"The training is vital. They allow us to train. They allow us to shoot. They allow us to go to classes and that was huge it's huge," he said.
While authorities have said the officers in Uvalde did not respond correctly- Agundez said every situation is different.
"We just won't know until it all comes down and we realize the facts. That's what I hope everybody realizes. It's not cut and dry- black and while."
Agundez said change does need to be made. He tells the families in Uvalde the tragedy breaks his heart.
"I don't know what you can say in words. I don't know what you can say. I pray for them all the time. I know the nation does. It's tragic, but I can imagine what they were feeling trying to get in and get their kids," said Agundez. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/gun-violence/heroic-resource-officer-relives-granite-hills-shooting-every-time-mass-shooting-happens | 2022-05-31T21:29:48Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/gun-violence/heroic-resource-officer-relives-granite-hills-shooting-every-time-mass-shooting-happens | false | 2 |

Hurricane Agatha, the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific, swept ashore on a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns Monday, then weakened moving inland over the mountains of southern Mexico.
Torrential rains and howling winds whipped palm trees and drove tourists and residents into shelters as Agatha pushed onto a coastal region that is sparsely populated except for a handful of small communities along the shore.
Oaxaca state’s civil defense agency showed families hustling into a shelter in Pochutla and a rock and mud slide that blocked the highway between that town and the state capital.
Agatha made landfall about 5 miles (10 kilometers) west of Puerto Angel in late afternoon as a strong Category 2 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 kph). But it quickly began losing strength as it moved inland.
Late Monday, it was downgraded to a tropical storm, with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Agatha was expected to dissipate overnight, but warned that the system’s heavy rains still posed a threat of dangerous flash flood.
Earlier in the day, wind, heavy rain and big waves lashed the beach town of Zipolite, long known for its clothing-optional beach and bohemian vibe.
“There is a lot of rain and sudden gusts of strong wind,” said Silvia Ranfagni, manager of the Casa Kalmar hotel in Zipolite. Ranfagni, who decided to ride out Agatha at the property, said, “You can hear the wind howling.”
In the surfing town of Puerto Escondido, people took shelter and put up plywood to prevent windows from breaking in the strong winds.
The government’s Mexican Turtle Center — a former slaughterhouse turned conservation center in Mazunte — closed to visitors because of the hurricane.
Agatha formed only on Sunday and quickly gained power. It was the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific, said Jeff Masters, meteorologist with Yale Climate Connections and the founder of Weather Underground.
He said the region’s hurricanes typically get their start from tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa.
“Since the African monsoon typically does not start producing tropical waves until early- or mid-May, there simply aren’t enough initial disturbances to get many eastern Pacific hurricanes in May,” Masters wrote in an email. “In addition, May water temperatures are cooler than they are at the peak of the season, and wind shear is typically higher.”
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Agatha could drop 10 to 16 inches (250 to 400 millimeters) of rain on parts of Oaxaca, with isolated maximums of 20 inches (500 millimeters), posing the threat of flash floods and mudslides. It said lesser amounts could fall in adjacent states to the east and northeast.

Frances Collett Apperson, of North Course Drive in Charlotte, was last seen leaving her home May 17, according to a release from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. She was reported missing May 21, CMPD told The News Herald.
Apperson, who is deaf, is described as a 5-foot, 2-inch white female who weighs about 180 pounds with brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes.
She was believed to be headed toward the area of the Linville Gorge – something that was confirmed Monday evening when CMPD personnel and Avery County Sheriff’s Office deputies found her car in the parking lot near Linville Falls, said Burke County Sheriff Steve Whisenant.
More than that, relatives searching for Apperson said they found a small angel along the trail leading to the falls, family members told WSOCTV reporter Dave Faherty. Deputies found an identical angel in Apperson’s car.

“We have a lot of family close by so we had looked everywhere and we just didn’t come to this spot,” Tod Collett, Apperson’s brother, told WSOCTV.
He said their family had hiked Hawksbill Mountain before, but he wasn’t sure if Apperson was familiar with Linville Falls.
Rescuers also joined the search for Apperson around 1 p.m. Tuesday, said Emergency Management Director Mike Willis. They were held up by a wreck on N.C. 181 that saw gas canisters spilled across the highway.
Willis said crews were prepared to search until nightfall Tuesday and they would pick the search up again Wednesday if she wasn’t found.
Personnel from the Burke County Rescue Squad, Burke County Special Ops, Burke County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina Forest Service and Burke County Emergency Management all responded to the scene.
If anyone hiking in the Gorge finds a sign of Apperson, they are asked not to disturb it and to contact emergency management officials. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call 828-437-1911.

THOMASVILLE, N.C. — A family said their food truck was stolen in Thomasville.
The Tacos La Chula food truck was stolen last Thursday and now they’re urging the public to keep an eye out for it.
"Hope is the last thing that dies, and we have a lot of faith that it will show up," Tacos La Chula owners said.
The family makes authentic Mexican cuisine. They said they spent $60,000 on the food truck and it's only been in operation for one year before it was stolen from Old Thomasville Road in High Point.

Grad stories: After hurdles and loss, Lakeview Alternative Ed graduate crosses finish line
Editors Note: The Battle Creek Enquirer is sharing the stories of area high school seniors to celebrate graduation season.
The path to graduation for Jamaria Price has been a winding one.
The 18-year-old was a stellar student-athlete while at Lakeview High School, earning A's and B's while contributing to the Spartans' track and field team before the pandemic stopped in-person learning, sending her and her peers into virtual classrooms.
Price says the isolation of remote learning and mental health issues that followed led her to fall behind in her school work. So she applied to enroll at Lakeview Alternative High School, a separate non-traditional school located at the district's administration building on Arbor Street.
"When I switched over, it was the best option for me to achieve the goals I wanted to achieve," Price said. "I want to stay with my friends, walk (at graduation) with my friends. But at the end of the day, I had to focus on me and what was best for me to succeed, and I had to learn how to create my own path instead of trying to follow the crowd."
GRAD STORIES: Pennfield class president went to school when she didn't have to just to hang out
Guitarist who once couldn't hear found love of performing arts at Lakeview
'Unofficial prom king' of Doris Klaussen has a zest for life
Price is one of 25 graduates of the Lakeview Alternative High School Class of 2022. After receiving her diploma, she'll enroll at Kellogg Community College, where she is a Legacy Scholar, planning to pursue a degree in nursing.
Price's mother, Andrenette Mitchell, died unexpectedly in January. Price credits the support and strength instilled from her late mother in obtaining her high school diploma, something she accomplished two weeks ahead of schedule.
"When she left, it was hard to do it on my own, but I was able to because I feel like she is still with me, and I have to live for her and make her proud," Price said. "That's what keeps me pushing every day."
Because of her success in the non-traditional classroom, Price was allowed to do some of the things she wanted to do at Lakeview, such as returning to the Spartan track team, captaining the school's step team and attending prom.
Lakeview Alternative High School teacher Kimberly Carroll said Price not only has persevered, but has served as a role model to her peers.
"She has a lot of friends and a lot of people that look up to her," Carroll said. "What an ambassador for kids who jumped off the regular path they were on and was able to regain her pathway towards success. She has everything lined up beautifully now... She's very special."

Former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter has finally given himself a social media presence. Jeter, who is now 47, played in the MLB for 20 years. In his time with the Yankees, that spanned from 1996 to 2016, Jeter hit 260 home runs and 1,311 RBIs to go along with his career batting average of .310.
"Let's do this!" - @ Derek Jeter
Jeter has finally made himself a social media account. It has been met with a flurry of reactions and a predictable amount of good-natured deprecation from baseball fans everywhere.
Former Yankees star Derek Jeter officially joins social media
Derek Jeter joined Instagram and Twitter on Tuesday. The star had been facing calls from his droves of fans to establish a social media presence for years. Popular Twitter account Talkin' Yanks posted a video of Jeter making the rounds on social media.
"When are you replacing Brian Cashman?" - @ your favorite dad
Jeter was one of the few players who never relied on social media to connect with fans during his career, unlike counterparts Alex Rodriguez or Mike Trout.
"Add Jeter to the “Post-Yankees Beard”Club" - @ The Incomparable Suge
In his first Instagram post, Jeter posted a video with himself saying, “I’m about to start a busy summer, but why not add a little more craziness?” His comments were in reference to a documentary series that is to be imminently produced in collaboration with the ESPN network about Jeter called "The Captain."
"The goat is on Twitter" - @ John Dutton
Fans have been having a field day with all the craze on social media after such a long period of anticipation.
"Derek Jeter looks like Joe Rogan and The Rock fused together." - @ Za Morant
One fan likened Jeter's appearance as a cross between Joe Rogan and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
"Rumor has it that one of his first projects is taking over the Yankees" - @ Jimmy Burger
Fans all gave their opinions on how Jeter looked in the now-infamous video. Some fans have even speculated that Jeter may be looking forward to a career on the management or operations side of baseball, something there is no evidence for at this point.
I’m sorry for pointing out the obvious on a Tuesday morning, but @DerekJeter is finer than ever" - @ Jen Vestuto
Despite being 47, fans have alluded to the obvious fact that Derek Jeter still looks in great shape. No doubt a key tenet of his retirement has been going to the gym and focusing on fitness.
"Welcome To Social Media My Guy!" - @ Ryan Maldonado
Who knows where this new plunge in social media will take Derek Jeter, or how much he will even end up using it. One thing is for certain, Jeter fans are happier than ever to have their guy on Twitter. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/baseball/derek-jeter-looks-like-joe-rogan-the-rock-fused-together-mlb-world-reacts-derek-jeter-finally-joining-social-media-fans-speculate-summer-projects | 2022-05-31T21:44:54Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/baseball/derek-jeter-looks-like-joe-rogan-the-rock-fused-together-mlb-world-reacts-derek-jeter-finally-joining-social-media-fans-speculate-summer-projects | false | 1 |
Dhaka, May 31: Left-handed batter Mominul Haque has stepped down as Bangladesh’s Test captain, following the team’s series defeat at home against Sri Lanka.
Mominul, who has led Bangladesh in the longest format since October 2019, was affected by the captaincy pressure. He was struggling with the bat as well and averaged just 16.20 in 2022, with 162 runs from six matches.
Overall, Bangladesh won just three Tests under Mominul’s leadership, losing 12 and drawing two.
Shakib Al Hasan is among the names being considered to replace Mominul, but a full-time captain is yet to be named.
The allrounder has had numerous stints as Bangladesh’s Test captain in the past. (IANS)

A decade of pension fund growth in Nigeria has prepared the ground for a boom in the country’s mutual fund sector. Investments in carefully constructed higher-performing risk-managed funds now outperform interest on bank deposits and even land. In 2020 alone, for example, assets under management in Nigeria’s Mutual Funds grew by 50% – topping N1.6 trillion.
Mutual funds are investment funds that pool money from many investors to purchase securities, like stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other assets. Mutual funds are operated by professional money managers who seek to assemble the right mix of funds, balancing risk with growth according to investors’ risk appetite, growth needs and investment horizons.
It is in the management of these funds that the experience, skill, and above all, the research capacity and global reach of investment management teams become critical. After all, individual Nigerians have varying growth needs and different risk appetites.
Consider, for example, someone in their late twenties or early thirties. Single, just starting out in business, the corporate world or as a young professional. They have a good income and few responsibilities or expenses. Being young, they have a long-time horizon of earning and investment ahead of them. This profile allows them to take on more risk. In other words, they have sufficient income and a long enough earning life ahead of them to invest in a higher-performing pool of funds that offers higher returns because they involve taking on slightly more risk.
Someone in their fifties, nearing the end of their earning life who has just sold the land they bought on the outskirts Abuja 20 years ago would be advised to invest in a fund composed of less risky securities. While their earnings might not be as high, since they won’t have the time or future income to make up for any losses going forward, it’s wisest to settle for lower earnings by buying into a fund that is also lower risk. As long as mutual funds are still outperforming treasury bills or bank deposits, they’ll still be growing their money and building a hedge against volatility and inflation.
Since mutual funds are regulated and professionally managed financial service instruments, they provide a lot more security than unregulated instruments. Being assembled by qualified professionals, they are also simple to manage as all purchase and sale requirements are carried out by the fund managers.
With Nigeria’s mutual fund industry being only eighth the size of the country’s pension industry, there is a lot of room for growth. Certainly, in other markets around the world, the growth of successful pension fund industries led to the establishment of vibrant mutual fund markets.
In such a fast-growing market faced with such a large opportunity, it goes without saying that not all mutual funds are created equal. As with all investing, investors need to be confident that they are working with regulated professionals leveraging world-class research and risk management methodologies to build and operate transparent mutual funds delivering measurable returns.
To this end, Coronation Asset Management is on a mission to build a safe, accessible and transparent mutual fund industry in Nigeria that allows investors to understand, easily compare and then invest in – or sell out of – mutual funds, effortlessly and safely. Mutual funds are, after all, the easiest way for everyday working people to access quality risk-managed investments and earn secure, long-term returns.
Working with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria as well as the Fund Managers Association of Nigeria (FMAN), Coronation Asset Management is aware that one of the biggest barriers to the growth of the country’s mutual fund industry is the difficulty that consumers’ experience attempting to assess, evaluate and compare mutual funds. As such, Coronation Asset Management advises the early adoption of Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). This will not only harmonise reporting in Nigeria’s mutual fund industry but will also position Nigerian mutual funds to attract global investment flows.
In short, many of the funds currently operating in Nigeria are not transparent. This makes it impossible for investors to assess whether the fund matches their need for growth or their risk appetite.
To begin creating a culture of transparency in the Nigerian mutual fund industry, Coronation Asset Management openly shares its fund management philosophy and methodology. Coronation is fully transparent about the investment selection criteria and research that guides the composition of its mutual funds. Each fund is defined by a published investment objective, leveraged by a well-articulated strategy, and guided by a publicly shared philosophy. All these elements are research-driven, closely managed for risk and vetted by an independent risk and compliance review process.
Coronation Asset Management’s Fixed Income Fund, for example, aims to provide investors both long-term capital growth and a regular income. The fund invests in a diverse portfolio of fixed income securities. The objective of Coronation Asset Management’s Balanced Fund on the other hand is to achieve capital appreciation and income generation, while mitigating volatility associated with equity investments by balancing them with fixed income securities.
The aim or objective of a fund determines its strategy. Given the objective of Coronation Asset Management’s Balanced Fund, for example, the strategy is clear: the manager of the Balanced Fund focuses on higher risk capital appreciation and income generation aimed at medium-term focused investors looking for income and moderate growth with a relatively higher risk appetite. The Balanced Fund represents a diverse pool of Nigerian equities and fixed income securities such as FGN Bonds and Money Market securities with a target allocation of 40% – 60% equities and 40% – 60% fixed income securities and money market instruments. The fund strives to maintain a fixed-income duration of five years invested in largely Naira-denominated fixed income and money market instruments. The Balanced Fund is fully compliant with all SEC rules and practices. The strategy of Coronation Asset Management’s Fixed Income Dollar Fund on the other hand, strives to provide unitholders with long-term capital growth and regular income by investing primarily in a diverse portfolio of fixed income securities. The fund is suitable for investors with moderate risk appetite looking to invest for the medium to long term.
All fund strategies are guided by an investment philosophy. The philosophy behind Coronation Asset Management’s Money Market Fund, for example, blends a diversified portfolio of high-quality money market securities aimed at delivering steady returns while also providing for liquidity needs. The Money Market Fund’s bottom-up credit selection and tactical trading approach combines the most liquid instruments and fundamental process with robust, top-down risk management tools designed to meet the objectives of liquidity and consistent excess returns.
All Coronation Asset Management funds are published along with audited evidence of past performance demonstrated by historical yield and including mark-to-market prices laid down by SEC rules in accordance with GIPS. The performance of these funds, for example, are published monthly in each funds’ fact sheet. These are audited by the SEC every three months when quarterly financials are filed.
Coronation Asset Management’s own Fixed Income, Balanced, Fixed Income Dollar, and Money Funds have experienced wide take up since their launch in the Nigerian market in 2017. Growth has primarily been driven by their inflation and interest-beating returns as well as their ability to pay investors out when they exit their funds. The transparency, clear objectives, strategy and philosophy guiding each fund also makes them easy to understand and builds confidence in their management and performance.
The ease of buying into and selling out of Coronation Asset Management’s mutual funds has also been a big driver of take up.
Being five times more capitalised than required in the Nigerian market, Coronation Asset Management’s mutual funds guarantee swift and efficient pay-out when investors need cash or wish to invest their investment earnings elsewhere. Compared with alternative investments like Bitcoin that require relatively sophisticated technical knowledge – and run much higher conversion risk – Coronation Asset Management’s mutual funds offer managed, flexible and accessible returns fully regulated and professionally managed for risk.
As mutual funds continue to outperform other interest-bearing opportunities in Nigeria, Coronation Asset Management will be launching three new funds in 2022. The Coronation Asset Management Infrastructure Debt, HNI Fixed Income and Multi-Asset Dollar funds will add to the growing stable of transparent, easily accessible mutual funds available to investors in the country.
Coronation Asset Management strives to provide transparent, risk-managed, locally and globally compliant investment instruments to help Nigerian citizens to manage volatility and grow their incomes independently. Providing safe, accessible and easy-to-use investment tools also servers to deepen Nigerian capital markets, broaden economic inclusion and lay the foundations for long term prosperity. | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/31/mutual-funds-the-future-of-investing/ | 2022-05-31T21:48:11Z | https://nairametrics.com/2022/05/31/mutual-funds-the-future-of-investing/ | true | 1 |

The ceremony featured members of the Lake City American Legion Post 300, the Lake City Honor Guard, music from the Lake City High School band, a 21-gun salute and more.
During Monday’s ceremony, Cadillac resident Sgt. First Class Donald Grage took time to remember those close to him who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“I think the importance of Memorial Day, and most people already know this, but it’s remembering our fallen and those that have died for the freedoms that we enjoy during Memorial Day,” Grage said. “Vacations and barbecues and things of that nature and the freedoms we enjoy here in America.”
In recent years, American Legion Post 300 First Vice Commander Mark Keelean said the turnout has increased for Lake City’s Memorial Day ceremony. With Monday’s turnout, Keelean said it was unreal seeing so many come out to show their support.
“Today with the weather and the dedication that we put into this, the crowd was great,” Keelean said. “And when we see the crowd like that, it means so much to us for what we’re doing.”
After the ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Park, members of the American Legion headed over to the Lake City Cemetery. At the cemetery, the Legion laid a wreath, conducted another 21-gun salute and performed Taps.
Afterward, local veterans gathered at the Legion building in downtown Lake City to socialize. | https://www.cadillacnews.com/news/lake-city-holds-memorial-day-ceremony/article_10048388-e034-11ec-ad03-0f89383d58a5.html | 2022-05-31T21:50:49Z | https://www.cadillacnews.com/news/lake-city-holds-memorial-day-ceremony/article_10048388-e034-11ec-ad03-0f89383d58a5.html | true | 1 |
Kieran Tierney backs Scotland team-mates to keep his World Cup dream alive
CROCKED Kieran Tierney has backed his Scotland team-mates to keep his World Cup dream alive.
The Arsenal star is recovering from knee surgery in April that immediately ruled him out for up to three months.
Left-sided defender Tierney would have been a certain starter for Steve Clarke against Ukraine in Wednesday's play-off semi-final at Hampden.
But he can only look on and hope Scotland can progress to Sunday’s final against Wales.
He told SunSport: “It’s hard being forced to watch games, I’m not going to lie.
“But whether it’s Arsenal or Scotland, I still only want what’s 100 per cent best for the team. I want them to win every game.
“And, of course, I’ll be supporting my Scotland team-mates all the way on Wednesday night.
“We’ve got an amazing manager and a team buying into everything he’s doing.
“You can see it on the park with performances, team spirit, never giving up, being hard to beat.
“We’re on a great run and there’s a confidence within the squad.
Most read in Football
“We can definitely do it. I’ve got 100 per cent faith in the boys.
“But it’s going to be a very difficult game against Ukraine.
“They’re a top team with excellent players.
“Everyone has great support for them with the terrible war back home against Russia.
“But on a football level both sets of players want to reach the World Cup.
“I think to play in that tournament is the pinnacle of any footballer’s career — and it would be no different for me. It would also be massive for Scottish football.”
Scotland have a big chance to seal a place in the Qatar finals in November — and a first World Cup tournament since 1998.
A Cardiff date would also coincide with Tierney’s 25th birthday.
KT added: “If we were to win and then play Wales on Sunday, it would be an incredible occasion. It’s also my birthday — and it would be some present if we ultimately qualified. But first of all we need to get a victory at Hampden and no one is taking anything for granted.
“Anticipation is massive — but we’ll also be greatly helped by having over 50,000 fans supporting us.”
Gunners ace Tierney is full of admiration for the quality within the Scotland squad.
He added: “I think the manager, the staff and the players deserve to make the World Cup.
“There’s been so much hard work put in by everyone. Reaching the Euros gave everyone a taste of what it was like to represent Scotland at a tournament — and everyone wants more.
“I think John McGinn said recently it’s like a club culture when you go away with Scotland. And he’s absolutely right.
“You’re with each other every day — and all the boys love being part of an international camp.
“I think we’ve got players of top pedigree throughout the squad.
“I mean, Andy Robertson played in a Champions League final on Saturday night.
“Then there’s Scott McKenna being promoted to the Premier League with the play-off final at Wembley on Sunday.
“All over the park we’ve got boys who know what it takes to play in big games.
“My former Celtic team-mate Ryan Christie has just been promoted to the Premier League with Bournemouth. So Scotland are getting stronger and stronger.”

A man fatally shot his girlfriend and two of her daughters inside a western Michigan home before killing himself, police said Tuesday.
A relative of the victims who earlier spoke with the boyfriend and rushed to the home out of concern, found the bodies about 4 a.m. Tuesday in Wyoming, near Grand Rapids, Public Safety Chief Kimberly Koster told reporters.
Two girls, ages 13 and 11, were killed. Three other children — ages 9, 5, and 2 — were found unharmed inside the home. The two youngest children were shared by the couple.
Names of the victims have not been released. Police said the gun used in the shootings has been found.
“No one, especially children, should ever feel unsafe inside their home,” Koster said, adding that the initial investigation shows the shootings likely stemmed from a “domestic situation.”
“Relationships are hard and the stress of a relationship can be just very emotional," she said. “Sometimes, it can be volatile, and in a case like today it can actually be lethal. I just encourage anyone involved in a situation like this to reach out for help.”
The three youngest children were being cared for by a relative.
The slayings occurred after a man killed his wife and their three children Friday in another community about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Grand Rapids.
The victims in Austin Township were identified as Katelynn Gillard, 6, Ronald Gillard, 4, Joshua Gillard, 3, and 40-year-old Dawn Gillard.
A 51-year-old man, described as the father and husband, shot himself and remains in critical condition, Mecosta County Sheriff Brian Miller said. His name hasn’t been released.

LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FOLLOWING MURDER OF NURSING ASSISTANT ANRAE JAMES BY HEAVILY ARMED OFF-DUTY CO-WORKER
Citing systemic safety failures, Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky alleges wrongful death and negligence
PHILADELPHIA, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorneys at Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky today sued Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Hospital alleging systemic security failures resulted in last October's execution-style murder of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Anrae T. James, who was killed by a heavily armed, off-duty co-worker, according to the lawsuit. After the attack, murderer Stacey Hayes, who had a history of violence, fled the hospital and wounded two Philadelphia police officers in a shootout before his capture.
Attorney Steven G. Wigrizer, of SMB, said the complaint (James v. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital et al., Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas) was filed this morning on behalf of Mr. James' widow and their three children. "Our pre-suit investigation concluded that the defendants are responsible for the litany of outrageous security failures that Jefferson officials admitted to only after this heinous killing. Justice now demands they be held accountable for their reckless inaction that put Mr. James and others – including staff, patients, visitors and medical Jefferson's own medical students - at risk. When Hayes entered Jefferson Hospital's S. 10th St. building, he was carrying a large bag containing assorted guns and wearing body armor. He walked uncontested through an unsecured main entrance without being stopped because there were no guards at their assigned stations." Besides asserting claims of wrongful death and negligence, the lawsuit seeks a jury trial, along with unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
According to the complaint, the heavily armed shooter – his weapons reportedly included an AR-15 assault rifle – did not have to pass through a metal detector. He was not scheduled to work that night, and due to the lax security, did not have to justify his surprise appearance. It is asserted that had the full range of necessary security measures been in place, Hayes would have been denied entry, detained, and Mr. James would be alive today.
"The detailed record shows that this was a tragedy in the making that could have and should have been averted if only hospital management had acted in the best interest of its heroic health care employees who, like Anrae James, devote their lives to helping others," explained Mr. Wigrizer. "We vehemently disagree with Jefferson's public relations position that the sweeping corrective measures Jefferson implemented after this tragedy would have been insufficient to prevent Mr. James's murder. Jefferson knew for years that violent crime was regularly occurring at its Hospital and, in fact, hardened security in other parts of its campus, and that the same type of enhanced security measures were not only feasible, but also necessary in the building where Mr. James and hundreds of his other heroic co-workers worked 24/7."
Barbara James, who was married to Anrae James for 11 years, said, "Anrae loved everyone, especially our three children, and loved his work, helping people every day. Like everyone else at the Hospital, Anrae relied on Jefferson to protect him while at work. He was supposed to feel safe there. We have so many questions and can only hope and pray they're finally answered at trial."
SMB attorney Jason S. Weiss, representing Ms. James along with Mr. Wigrizer and attorney Aidan B. Carickhoff, stated this was the latest in a string of violent incidents in and around the Jefferson campus. "This was not an isolated violent incident. To the contrary, there were so many past crimes that Jefferson created and publicly shared online a 'Crime Log', where Jefferson publicly documented the violent criminal activity at its facilities until Jefferson discontinued its reporting practice in 2018. But the violence continued. This attack was preventable and foreseeable." SMB attorney Carickhoff added, "For all of us, work should be a safe space to do what we love. And until October 4, 2021, that was true for Anrae James. He dedicated his life to helping others. But Jefferson failed to help Anrae when he needed it most. We look forward to telling his story at trial."

Browns QB Deshaun Watson sued again; 23rd lawsuit alleges sexual misconduct
Another woman has filed a lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, becoming the 23rd civil case to accuse him of sexual misconduct during massage sessions in 2020.
It is the first lawsuit filed against him since the 22 others were filed in March and April of 2021 and potentially could complicate any plan for the NFL to resolve questions about Watson’s playing status before the season.
In this case, the lawsuit filed Tuesday states the woman had three encounters with Watson in Houston that got progressively worse. During the third encounter in the summer of 2020, the lawsuit states Watson exposed himself to her, touched the woman between her legs and repeatedly requested that the woman have sex with him.
After first deciding not to file a lawsuit against Watson, the woman changed her mind after watching a segment about the lawsuits last week on HBO’s "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."
“In that piece, plaintiff was struck by the courage of the victims willing to step forward and speak and was extremely displeased by Watson and his legal team’s mistreatment and revictimizations of the plaintiffs,” the new lawsuit states. “But it was Watson himself claiming that even now he has 'no regrets’ and has done nothing wrong that solidified her resolve. She brings this case seeking minimum compensation, but to obtain a court finding that Watson’s conduct was wrong.”
Watson, 26, has denied wrongdoing and has not been arrested or charged. His attorney, Rusty Hardin, said the women are lying, out for money and said three of the cases involved consensual sex initiated by the plaintiffs. He didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
“Today we filed suit for the 23rd plaintiff in this litigation," plaintiffs attorney Tony Buzbee said in a statement. "Other cases may come. The Watson defense team has vilified these women and this cause. Shame on them! We look forward to trying this case in court.”
The NFL also has been investigating these cases and could suspend Watson if he is found to have violated the league’s personal conduct policy. In March, two grand juries in Texas considered a combined 10 criminal complaints made against Watson to police but declined to indict him on criminal charges.
Watson previously played for the Houston Texans but recently was traded to the Browns, who gave him a record guaranteed contract of $230 million over five years.

Father, infant son fatally shot while sitting on front porch, police say
MONROE, N.C. (WBTV/Gray News) – A father and his infant son were shot and killed outside their North Carolina home Sunday night, police said.
According to Monroe police, 25-year-old Darion McClendon and 4-month-old Da’Mari McClendon were shot just after 10 p.m. Sunday.
Family members said McClendon and his family were sitting on the porch having just come back from a picnic at the park when they were shot.
“They’re just shooting people just to shoot people. This man was cooking on the grill for his family, this man was having a good time with his family, and this is what happened,” a family member said.
McClendon’s girlfriend’s family said baby Da’Mari was always happy, brought his mom a lot of joy, and loved Mickey Mouse.
McClendon, who was affectionately known as Debo, was described as a hard-working, caring father of two sons.
“My cousin lost her baby and her boyfriend,” one family member said. “Debo wasn’t a bad guy. Debo went to work, they had just went to the park with my kids and their baby.”
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, has children who were also at the home when the shooting happened. She is thankful they are OK physically, but knows they’re traumatized from witnessing their loved ones get killed in front of them.
Monroe Police Department Chief Bryan Gilliard said the aftermath of the fatal shooting is a difficult time for the community and for officers.
“We are committed to bringing the perpetrator of this crime to justice. If anyone has any information, please come forward. We need people in the community to help us in this process,” Gilliard said.
The family is also pleading with the public to come forward and help the police make an arrest.
Anyone with any information about this crime should contact the Monroe Police Department at 704-282-4700 or Union County Crime Stoppers at 704-283-5600. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle will create a database of homeless camps and provide more than $100 million to a regional group trying to tackle the region's ongoing crisis of people without homes, the city's mayor announced Tuesday.
“Issues created over decades cannot be solved overnight, but we must reject the status quo where people are left to suffer unsheltered on sidewalks and in parks,” Mayor Bruce Harrell said in announcing his plan to address the ongoing homelessness crisis in the city.
Seattle, like many West Coast cities, has faced a vexing problem of unhoused people for decades. Harrell was elected last year on a platform of addressing public safety and the issue of homeless camps in public spaces like parks. He vowed to move people into housing with on-site services.
Critics of Seattle's efforts to move people out of camps have said the city has not created enough housing and transitional services for people who are removed from encampents.
Harrell's new plan includes $118 million for the King County Regional Homeless Authority, a new agency set up to coordinate homeless programs in the greater Seattle area.
Harrell said Seattle is spending $173 million in its 2022 budget to fund his homeless action plan. That represents a sharp increase in city funds devoted to homeless issues; in 2018, the spending was $77 million, the KING5 television station reported.
And Harrell says said $572 million – enough to build 1,551 new units – has been earmarked for affordable housing projects. The figure includes state and federal resources in addition to $138 million in taxpayer money, according to Harrell's new plan.
The city’s goal is to offer shelter with a bed ready and waiting for every person living in a homeless encampment before any potential sweeps.
According to Harrell's plan, authorities will survey, inspect, and verify encampment sites and provide a publicly accessible map of encampment concentration by neighborhood citywide.
There are more than 40,000 people in King County experiencing homeless, according to the King County Department of Community and Services. City officials reported 763 tents and 225 RV encampments throughout Seattle as of May. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Seattle-mayor-plans-big-spending-to-ease-17210585.php | 2022-05-31T22:11:09Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/Seattle-mayor-plans-big-spending-to-ease-17210585.php | false | 41 |

MISSOULA — The Montana women's tennis team has added two newcomers to its roster for the 2022-23 season.
Shivikia Agrawal of Chandler, Arizona, signed with the Grizzlies recently. Hailey Murphy of Calgary decided to join the team after her visit in March.
"Shivika plays a ton of tennis," Montana coach Steve Ascher said. "She's played the national tournaments in Florida, National Hardcourts, and National Play Courts as well.
She has a wealth of tournament experience. She wants to get better, she wants to improve, and she wants to push, so I think she's going to fit in great with the group as well."
Ascher was excited to add Murphy to the roster as well.
"Canada was really hard during COVID because they locked everything down, but she had the capability to go live in Orange County, California," Ascher said.
"So, with that, she's been training and playing. She hasn't taken much of a break. Both of these girls are hugely tennis-oriented and athletic."
Agrawal's athleticism comes from her background in sports. Growing up, she participated in soccer, volleyball, basketball, dance, swimming and tennis. Her two favorites are volleyball and tennis.
So, why decide to focus on tennis?
"Even though volleyball is a team sport, I feel like tennis can also be a team sport, especially for college tennis," she said. "I like how you're on the court by yourself. You have to think through points by yourself and you have to rely on yourself basically."
Agrawal attended Hamilton High School in Arizona, where she graduated in the top two percent of her class with AP scholar honors and was the most recent Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She was the Kiwanis Invitational Girls Singles Champion in 2022.
Agrawal is looking forward to playing for Ascher.
"I feel like he's a really good tennis coach," she said. "He reminds me of my tennis coach here in Arizona. I also like the pharmacy program at UM and the research opportunities I'll be getting there because pharmacy is what I'll be intending to pursue. I also really liked the campus."
For Murphy, tennis runs in her blood. Both her mom and aunt were national-level players, playing at the University of San Diego.
"I started playing tennis at a really young age and I kind of grew up playing with my entire family," she noted. "All of my brothers and cousins were tennis players. It was in the family to play tennis and I've pretty much just been playing national, competitive-level tennis since then."
Murphy won flight two in the Canadian Nationals during her high school career. She also was the doubles provincial champion her senior year.
Murphy's interest in Montana peaked because of upcoming sophomore Grizzly Grace Haugen. Murphy and Haugen have a connection from playing together in Canada and they continue to stay in touch to this day.
Haugen had told Murphy about her experiences at Montana, which led to Murphy getting in touch with Ascher. From there, she was able to look into UM through a more serious lens.
"After talking with the coach, looking at the school, and seeing their programs I thought, 'Oh, this sounds like a great school,' Murphy said. "It's really close to home and the campus was beautiful." | https://406mtsports.com/college/big-sky-conference/university-of-montana/montana-womens-tennis-team-adds-agrawal-murphy-for-2022-23-season/article_e2d1f45d-dc33-5fba-8aa3-fd0a593a6690.html | 2022-05-31T22:13:48Z | https://406mtsports.com/college/big-sky-conference/university-of-montana/montana-womens-tennis-team-adds-agrawal-murphy-for-2022-23-season/article_e2d1f45d-dc33-5fba-8aa3-fd0a593a6690.html | true | 1 |

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The judge presiding over the murder trial of a 15-year-old charged with killing a 6-year-old northern Indiana girl ruled Tuesday that two doctors will conduct psychological examinations to determine if he's competent to stand trial.
St. Joseph Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Sanford issued the ruling after attorneys representing the youth sought to have him declared legally insane at the time of the March 2021 slaying.
Under the order, two doctors from the Kokomo area will evaluate the youth and submit their findings to the court, the South Bend Tribune reported. The boy is currently in custody at the Robert J. Kinsey Youth Center in Kokomo.
Authorities have said the youth molested and killed Grace Ross, whose body was found in a wooded area behind the New Carlisle apartment complex about 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of Chicago where they both lived.
The boy has told police a “shadowy man” controlled him and made him strangle Grace after she had followed him into the woods, court documents have said.
The youth's mother has testified in court that he is on the autism spectrum, has ADHD and a sensory disorder. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/2-doctors-to-evaluate-teen-charged-with-killing-17210368.php | 2022-05-31T22:16:19Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/2-doctors-to-evaluate-teen-charged-with-killing-17210368.php | true | 12 |

Which large area rugs are best?
A large area rug is key to making your space feel cozier and more welcoming while also tying your living room together through its design, fabric and color scheme. However, choosing a large rug for your living room can be a daunting task, as you’ll need to pick the colors that match your interior and the material you prefer. You’ll also need to think about what to do when your rug won’t stay in place and how to keep it clean.
If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-quality area rug for your living room, the Safavieh Amherst Quake 8-foot by 10-Foot Indoor/Outdoor Rug is the top choice. The rug’s elegant pattern and its ability to be cleaned easily are just some of the reasons you’ll be heading straight to the checkout.
What to know before you buy a large area rug
Are you furnishing your living room starting from a clean slate?
If you’re furnishing your living room from a clean slate, your main focus should be on the area rug first. It’s much easier to design and furnish around the rug than vice versa. The color and style of the rug will serve as inspiration for designing the rest of your living room. Also, starting out with a large area rug will assist in the layout of your living room.
Is the area rug you’re buying going to be placed in an already furnished living room?
If your living room is already furnished and maybe lacking in cohesiveness or style, a large area rug can easily solve any of those issues. It can even be argued that purchasing an area rug for a furnished room is easier than starting from scratch. Use the color of your walls, flooring and furniture as inspiration for what area rug would look best. For example, if you have bold furniture or walls, aim for a more neutral rug; on the other hand, you can purchase a bolder rug for a room filled with very subtle furnishings and colors.
What type of lifestyle do you live?
Your area rug should be able to complement and hold up to the lifestyle you live. A couple may need to put much thought into how their area rug will put up with their daily activities, but a household of four with a dog will have to consider purchasing a rug that will be easy to clean and durable enough to last. There are a myriad of carpet cleaning products that will make your life a whole lot easier with a large area rug in a multi-member household, so make sure you opt for the best ones.
What to look for in a quality large area rug
Material
Synthetic materials, like nylon, polypropylene or polyester, are common in many affordable rugs. These types of rugs are also very stain-resistant and dry quicker when a spill occurs because of their low absorbency. However, a downside is that when a polyester rug is subjected to high amounts of foot traffic, it can face crimp loss, making the area rug look less fluffy and reducing its volume.
An area rug could also be made from natural materials like cotton, jute or wool. Although more costly than a synthetic rug, a natural rug is stronger than its counterparts. In addition, a natural rug can sustain its look for many years because of its durability. Unfortunately, rugs made from natural materials are more costly and more susceptible to fading when exposed to direct sunlight or damage when exposed to high heat or moisture.
Color
Your rug establishes the mood of your room, and that mood comes from the color of your area rug. If your living room is on the smaller side, choose a lighter color, since it will make your room appear larger, while dark, rich colors will make a large room appear more intimate. In addition, if your living room receives a lot of sunlight, consider selecting a cool color. In contrast, warm colors will make a shady living room appear more bright.
Edging
Most area rugs will finish the edges to prevent fraying and unraveling. The most common edging you will find on an area rug is a standard edging, which is the least expensive and blends in really well. A serging binding edge is also designed to blend in, but it incorporates yarn stitchings over the binding itself. If you’re looking for an extra decorative touch to your area rug, a 3-inch to 5-inch binding will do the trick, as it will provide an accent with the carpet.
How much you can expect to spend on a large area rug
Because a large area rug is more expensive than others because of its size, you can expect some to be less or more affordable when taking into account the materials used and the design. Large area rugs range from $100-$2,000.
Large area rugs FAQ
Q. How do I keep my area rug from moving and losing its spot?
A. Investing in a non-slip rug pad made from natural rubber and felt can do the trick to keep your rug in place and prevent it from sliding. Silicone caulk, carpet tape or even using a couch or coffee table as a grip to keep the rug stationary can also solve this issue.
Q. What’s the best way to clean my area rug?
A. Using a mild dish soap diluted with water should work well for spot cleaning any stains or spills on your rug without damaging rug fibers. If you have a stubborn stain, use any stain remover products meant for cleaning carpet fabrics. Always use water when rinsing out any soap or cleaning products on the rug.

- Ukraine is asking the US for a rocket artillery system it says it needs to defend itself against Russia.
- The US has not committed to providing Ukraine with the MLRS but says its "under consideration"
- Russia has indicated it considers providing Ukraine with the MLRS to be escalatory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been asking the United States for weeks to provide multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), arguing that these longer-range weapons will give Ukrainian forces the ability to strike Russian targets from positions farther away and allow them to better defend against Russian barrages in eastern Ukraine.
Despite these pleas, the Biden administration says a decision has not yet been made on whether or not to send the rocket artillery systems to Ukraine. Considerations regarding the MLRS appear to still be ongoing, but President Joe Biden has said that "we're not going to send Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia." The concern seems to be the risk of escalation.
On Russian state television, hosts said the provision of MLRS to Ukraine by the US would constitute "crossing a red line." A host said that with such a move, "we'll have witnessed an attempt to provoke a very harsh response from Russia."
Sending long-range fire systems to Ukraine is still "under consideration," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. However, the US "won't be sending long-range rockets for use beyond the battlefield in Ukraine," she said.
In the intense artillery fight in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian forces are using, among other combat systems, M777 howitzers provided by the United States. These towed 155mm artillery pieces have a range of about 18 miles and are operated by a minimum crew of five but normally by about eight.
The rocket artillery systems Ukraine has asked for could more than double their range or even extend it farther, depending on the munition. The guided MLRS rockets have a range of about 43 miles and can be fired by a crew of 3 people. Other munitions have longer ranges, such as the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) with its range of about 186 miles, but the US is only considering sending shorter-range systems, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The MLRS can fire 12 to 18 guided rockets in under a minute and be set up, fired and moved to another position quickly before enemy artillery can pinpoint the crews location.
Lockheed Martin Corp., the manufacturer of the M270 MLRS, says the guided rockets can be fired from an MLRS tracking launcher or from a lighter-weight wheeled launcher called the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
US officials told The Wall Street Journal that the MLRS will give Ukraine the ability to strike Russian targets throughout the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine.
Amid debates within the Biden administration about how to move forward with weapons packages for Ukraine, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters on Friday the United States is "still committed to helping them succeed on the battlefield," adding that the strategy for helping Ukraine defend itself has rapidly changed over the last 90 days since Russia launched an invasion of its neighbor.
"You know, earlier, we were all about Javelins and Stingers, and that's all you guys wanted to ask about, and now, we're asking about MLRS, I get it," Kirby told reporters last week. "The way we have helped Ukraine defend itself has changed over time as the fight has changed over time, and we're going to be committed to this for as long as the Ukrainians need the support." | https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-mlrs-rocket-artillery-ukraine-wants-from-the-us-2022-5 | 2022-05-31T22:28:04Z | https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-mlrs-rocket-artillery-ukraine-wants-from-the-us-2022-5 | true | 2 |
PAGE, Ariz. — A group spending Memorial Day boating on Lake Powell in Arizona witnessed something few ever see or are able to catch on video.
Mila Carter was heading towards Antelope Point Marina with family and friends Monday when she noticed a few rocks falling along a nearby cliff next to the lake.
"It kind of didn't stop and we could tell that more was coming, so we stopped and I kind of just pulled out my phone just in time," said Carter.
What happened next left them stunned, amazed and every other adjective in the dictionary.
"Pretty incredible," explained Carter. "Saw something like I had never seen before."
Within seconds after Carter pulled out her phone, an entire section of the cliff broke free and crashed into the water. The massive rock slide caused a large splash followed by a wave heading in the direction of the boat.
"I feel like the video didn't do that big tidal wave justice," said Carter. "It was huge."
Raw video below shows rock slide crash into Lake Powell
Seeing the wave crash near them, Carter's husband sped up when realizing they needed to quickly get out of the way.
"There was still the aftermath of the big rockfall that we need to make sure and be clear from," Carter said.
When spending a holiday on Lake Powell, boaters usually expect a day full of sun and fun. But never in their wildest dreams did Carter and her family expect to see a rock slide literally rock their world.
"We try to be safe and stay clear of things like that, but it definitely isn't something that I was really concerned about. Not every time I'm by a big cliff or rock do I worry that it's going to fall on me."
The entire experience took just seconds, but was something Carter said she her group will remember for a lifetime.
"It was definitely surprising and shocking and kind of a little bit of a wake up call to watch out for everything!"

Scottish 400m hurdler looks back on her victory at the European Championships in Zurich on August 16, 2014
Zurich was at the back of my mind that summer – the Commonwealth Games had been the focus – but I didn’t expect to be going into the Europeans as the favourite, ranked No.1.
My 2014 season was really consistent. I don’t think I was out of the top three in any of my races and although the Commonwealths was just a real whirlwind of a championships, it wasn’t physically as demanding, because I only had two races.
That meant I was in good shape physically to go to the Europeans – it was more about the emotional and mental side of things to build up and go again.
Zurich is such an iconic athletics venue and the Swiss love their athletics so the stadium is full and the crowd gets behind you in every single race. You can step into that. It’s got a presence about it.
What makes a difference there is the way they bring the athletes out. You’re under the stadium and then you’re brought out on the side. You aren’t walked round, it’s straight on to the start line, so it’s quite intense. It’s intimidating but it’s impressive as well.
Coming out of a Commonwealth Games at Hampden Park, you didn’t want to then go to a Europeans which felt a bit flatter, but it was amazing. The Swiss were quite knowledgeable about the 400m hurdles because they had the likes of Lea Sprunger and Petra Fontanive in the event. It meant the home crowd were interested.
Part of my consistency in 2014 was because my stride pattern was solid. My perfect race was the Diamond League meeting in Glasgow before the Commonwealths, because that was when I was in the shape to really nail that pattern. But, actually, when it came to Europeans I was probably that bit quicker.
The stride was automatic – it was about just going out there and executing again. That was quite calming for me and all Malcolm Arnold, my coach, said to me before my race was: “Just go and do what you’ve been doing all year.” It was as simple as that, really.
I pretty much knew, if I did that, I would be in with a good chance of winning it – unless somebody decided to really raise their game and run out of their skin, in comparison to what they had been doing all season.
The only time I took my concentration away was when I came off the last hurdle. I knew my stride path to the last hurdle, I came over it and I was like: “I’m winning this.”
I changed my attitude from running and executing my race to “I’m going to win this.” I tightened up and, coming to the finish line, everybody just caught right up on me. That was just because I’d switched from thinking “just run this race” to “I’m becoming European champion”.
I knew in my head that I’d won but you don’t see everyone in your peripheral vision and there were people either side of me finishing fast. I didn’t want to make an ass of myself and be celebrating – only to then be told “no, it wasn’t you who won it”.
I was looking for Phil Jones, the BBC interviewer, afterwards. He gave me a thumbs up, a “you got it” sort of thing but I had to wait until it came on the big screen before I could actually enjoy it and say, “okay, I’ve won” so my celebration was a little bit flat.
Malcolm just gave me a hug afterwards and said that was great. That’s pretty much the most praise you’re ever going to get from him but I think he was delighted. Probably looking back to 2013, particularly at the World Championships, he just saw me make silly mistakes.
He always knew that, if I got the race right, there was so much more potential there and so much more I could achieve. I think he was just grateful that I’d gone there and done what I was capable of doing.
I probably didn’t appreciate the pressure the Europeans brought until it was over and I was standing on the podium. I don’t really get very emotional when it comes to my athletics but I cried on the podium. I’ve never cried on the podium before. I think it was just sheer relief that it was over and I’d done it. I could just let it all go.
It was just a different pressure at those Europeans. They give you the bloody blue number, so everybody knows you’re No.1 and that you should win. But anything can happen, so it’s about just nailing the performance.
That medal means the most to me. When people ask me, “what did you do … what was your event?” I always say 400m hurdler. I’m a hurdler who runs 400m indoors. I got the world indoor medal for the 400m and I’ve got an Olympic medal in the 4x400m relay, but I see myself as being a 400m hurdler. So that’s why that one’s special. And that it’s a gold.
You’re a champion. You are European champion, which is something. I remember going to Barcelona for the 2010 Europeans and seeing the athletes and thinking, “wow, these girls are just a different class than me”.
To then go and achieve what they achieved … to be able to stand on top of the podium, with a gold in your favourite event, it’s so special.

As Tuesday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
The Russian ground offensive continued on the eastern city of Sievierodonetsk. Russian forces have seized half the city "in a frenzied push," the mayor told The Associated Press. Local leadership said Russian troops hit a nitric acid tank at one of the city's chemical facilities. Russia's military suggested the Ukrainian forces were to blame, saying that's who still controlled the area during the explosion.
Ukraine's military claimed some gains in its counter-offensive in the southern Kherson area, under Russian control. Russian state media, meanwhile, reported that Kherson was preparing to potentially formally join the Russian Federation. Ukrainian military officials accused enemy forces of cutting the fiber optic connections between Kherson and the rest of Ukraine, disrupting mobile internet for residents. Russia denied this, accusing Ukrainian leadership of undermining alleged local pro-Russian sentiment.
European Union leaders agreed to ban most oil imports from Russia. The move is part of the bloc's newest sanctions package on Moscow, which had been held up by Hungary and other member states that rely heavily on Russian oil. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the embargo would apply to around 90% of oil imports from Russia to the EU by the end of this year. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban forced the EU to accept a ban solely on sea shipments of Russian oil. Pipeline deliveries, which are critical to Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, won't be affected by the ban.
Over 3,000 Russian soldiers have been confirmed killed in action in Ukraine, says a new report by the independent Russian website IStories. The report — based on local news coverage, social media postings and confirmations from families of the dead — said it verified a total of 3,043 deaths from the Kremlin's war in Ukraine. The last official numbers published by Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed 1,351 deaths on March 25. Western intelligence services have placed Russian losses between 7,000 and 15,000, even as Ukrainian officials have claimed much higher totals.
Thirty-two media workers have died while covering the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. Speaking in his nightly address, the president noted that French journalist Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff became the latest victim on Monday, when an armored evacuation vehicle came under enemy fire in the eastern Luhansk region. Media workers killed in the Ukraine war have also included Brent Renaud, Oleksandra Kuvshynova, Vira Hyrych and many others.

Losing a family member is never easy, and when a parent is faced with the tough scenario of burying their child the sadness is one no person should ever have to deal with.
Praying for The Miller Family. Master P recently took to social media to share news about the passing of his daughter, Tytyana. Understandably, the music legend did not get too specific but he did write the following: “Mental illness & substance abuse is a real issue that we can’t be afraid to talk about. With God, we will get through this.”
Rapper and actor Romeo Miller, Tytyana’s brother, also shared a public statement regarding his sister’s passing.
“Our family is dealing with an overwhelming grief for the loss of my little sister Tytana,” Romeo wrote. “We respectfully request some privacy so that our family can grieve. We appreciate all of the prayers, love, and support, and although this is sad times, I’m forever grateful for the memories I did have with my amazing sister. Love on your loved ones, life is short.”

“Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?” That was Johnny Rotten’s famous kiss-off to the audience at his final Sex Pistols concert in San Francisco, in January 1978. The band lasted only a short time, but its turbulent existence has been documented so diligently in the subsequent decades—and absorbed so thoroughly by the culture it was trying to demolish—that it’s hard to scrape back the layers of nostalgia and see punk afresh. That is what director Danny Boyle and writer Craig Pearce set out to do in the FX on Hulu limited series Pistol.
A pro at making deprivation look exciting via Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, Boyle lashes together period footage of cruddy old England in the 1970s (when many believed the country was in irreversible decline) with word-perfect reenactments of the Pistols’ most infamous performances and TV appearances. But Pearce, whose previous exploits include collaborating with Baz Luhrmann on Moulin Rouge! and the forthcoming Elvis, struggles with the admittedly gargantuan challenge of forging a narrative out of the birth of punk. The scene involved a confusing maze of impulses and aims, a collision of unlikely and often damaged individuals, each of whom cries out to be characterized and back-storied.
The series is based on Lonely Boy, a candid memoir by Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, one of the less mythologized figures in the chronicling of punk. In this iteration, Jones (charismatically rendered by Toby Wallace) becomes the prime mover: the street urchin who formed the band, earned them instant national infamy by swearing on live television, and whose bruising riffs defined the Sex Pistols sound. We first see young Steve fusing his two teenage passions—rock music and petty crime—by sneaking backstage at a Bowie concert and running off with some top-of-the-line equipment. But as today’s therapeutic culture requires, there’s an explanatory backdrop that sources and justifies his delinquency: parental neglect, trauma, and bad education.
Abused by his stepfather, Jones finds a home among other the misfits at Sex—a clothes shop on London’s King’s Road run by odd couple Malcolm McLaren (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and Vivienne Westwood (Talulah Riley), who become parental substitutes of a sort. Having already startled the U.K. with their avant-garde and outrageous bondage-influenced garments, Westwood and McLaren see Jones’s fledgling band, previously named the Swankers, as a way of opening up another front in the culture war. Renamed Sex Pistols, they’ll be rock-and-roll “shock troops” rousing the disaffected youth of a disintegrating England with their anthems of anarchy and apocalypse.
Wary of a distorted Pistols history (and perhaps unhappy about a saga recentered around the guitarist rather than himself), singer Rotten tried and failed to prevent the show from using the band’s music—predicting Pistol would just be “a fairytale, which bears little resemblance to the truth.” If the shift from the standard focus on Rotten and the self-destructive Sid Vicious is at least refreshing, Pistol does take liberties with history by pushing Chrissie Hynde to the fore of this six-episode narrative. Hynde (played by Sydney Chandler) serves as Jones’s love interest and a kind of moral center amid all the nihilism and heartlessness, an attempt to modernize the story by making a fearless female into a central figure. She always seems to be around to offer band members advice, to have steamy sex with Jones, or to offer noxious 19-year-old American addict Nancy Spungen (Emma Appleton) some maternal kindness.
The only problem is that Hynde—who within a few years would form her own hugely successful New Wave band, the Pretenders—was not a member of the Sex Pistols. She did work briefly as a sales assistant in Sex and hung out with the Pistols posse, along with many other early punk legends-to-be. But in a conversation with Vanity Fair, even Boyle admits that Hynde, by her own account, only had sex with Jones once. Her 2015 memoir, Reckless, mentions Jones casually, just a few times. Yet somehow her character nabs more lines than Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook (Jacob Slater) and original bassist Glen Matlock (Christian Lees) combined. And Matlock cowrote all the good songs!
You can see the dilemma Boyle and Pearce faced: recreate first-wave U.K. punk as it truly was (a male-dominated movement, give or take a singer like Siouxsie Sioux or a bassist like Gaye Advert, with nasty streaks of misogyny running through it) or remodel the past in line with contemporary values and expectations. Apparently McLaren did very briefly toy with the idea of incorporating Hynde into the Sex Pistols—but as Westwood recalled in her own memoir, “in the end, for Malcolm, his ‘gang’ had to be a gang of boys.” | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/05/sex-pistols-tv-series-danny-boyle-hulu | 2022-05-31T22:38:33Z | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/05/sex-pistols-tv-series-danny-boyle-hulu | false | 1 |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Riding the momentum of a return to the NBA playoffs, the leaders of the Minnesota Timberwolves are determined to further elevate a franchise long mired among the dregs of the league.
Tim Connelly is the first big catch. They're counting on more players to follow.
“There’s a reason these coastal cities have a leg up, but what you can help develop and help add credence and definition to is your culture and the organization and the wins and losses,” said Connelly, who was formally introduced Tuesday as president of basketball operations after nine seasons in that role in Denver. “Hopefully word spreads that this is where you're going to come if you want to be treated right.”
Connelly agreed last week to a reported five-year, $40 million contract; Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor confirmed it includes bonuses for team performance. Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, who are in the process of incrementally purchasing the club for $1.5 billion from Taylor, made it a priority to aggressively pursue one of the NBA's most accomplished and respected leaders.
“We have full confidence and trust in Tim, and he’s going to be empowered to build a first-class, world-class organization. Full stop,” Lore said.
The 81-year-old Taylor initiated the sale in 2021 with the intention of staying on as sort of a mentor to the incoming owners, who plan to finish the purchase in 2023.
“We feel like we’ve made good decisions together as a group," Lore said. "We just feel really good about the partnership and where we’ve been and where we’re going.”
Connelly left behind a Nuggets team who has the back-to-back NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, and a still-promising roster that went 48-34 in the regular season — two games ahead of the Timberwolves — without injured standouts Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Connelly also had to uproot his young family.
“I wasn’t looking for this. It was such a unique opportunity that was presented to me. The last nine years for me have been the best nine years professionally I could have ever imagined,” Connelly said. “As you had those sleepless nights, it makes you dig even deeper internally, even more introspective, and ask yourself if it’s something you want to do. It’s a leap of faith, certainly.”
With Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards emerging as elite players and Chris Finch drawing rave reviews for his guidance in his first full season as coach, the Timberwolves pushed No. 2 seed Memphis hard over six games in the first round.
Minnesota also became the first team in NBA history to lose multiple games in a series with double-digit fourth-quarter leads, doing so a staggering three times.
“I hope that as we continue to build a winning foundation and develop, this is a place that you want to come to win,” Connelly said. "It’s not about the weather. It’s not about having some of these flashier markets. You’re going to come here to win, to be treated fairly and have a lot of fun.”
Connelly has become the seventh person in nine years to oversee the basketball side, since Flip Saunders returned for his second run. When Saunders died of cancer in 2015, Milt Newton filled in for one season. Then Tom Thibodeau was handed the top job in the now-outdated dual role of head coach and lead executive.
After Thibodeau was fired midway through the 2018-19 season, his deputy, Scott Layden, was the interim replacement. Three years ago, Gersson Rosas was hired but after a sudden dismissal, Sachin Gupta was put in charge. He's expected to remain in the front office under Connelly.
Finch was an assistant with the Nuggets in 2016-17 before being hired away by New Orleans. Connelly called him “Finchy” throughout his news conference Tuesday — a sign of the relationship they've already built and the relative security Finch will have under the new boss.
“He has great faith in us and what we’re doing here, me in particular, and he has a lot of existing relationships with people on our staff and in this building. That always helps,” Finch said. “He is first and foremost about people. Doesn’t take himself too seriously. Fits right in with our culture.”

Mauro gets emotional when talking about Virginia’s health problem and says that the next few weeks will be difficult
“I’m sorry, I’m not in my best days, due to some things related to my wife’s health. I’m not so inspired to talk about a day as happy as today. I really appreciate your presence”, he said. Mauro, during his speech.
Virginia’s health has been worrying the Mendes family for a few days now. At the weekend, Mauro even said that they are confident in the recovery of the First Lady, but that the next few weeks will be difficult.
Virginia was transplanted and needed to receive a kidney donated by Mauro himself in 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the First Lady has had health problems again and earlier this month she was admitted to a hospital in So de Paulo for a more detailed evaluation. of your clinical picture.
The event featured not only affiliates and new members of the Union, but also other legends. A highlight goes to the deputy Janaina Riva (MDB) and her father-in-law, senator Wellington Fagundes (PL), who in the construction of his re-election candidacy, glued his image to that of Mauro, in an attempt to form a ticket with the blessings of the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro.
The absences were felt by Senator Carlos Fvaro (PSD) and Federal Deputy Neri Geller (PP), who launched a pre-candidate for the Senate and had a possible alliance with the governor. The composition with Bolsonaro, however, cooled that possibility.
Applauded by those present, Mauro spoke about the responsibility of governing the state and the importance of politics, despite many “demonizing” it.
“Politics take care of the public interest. The population cries out for a policy that really represents society. That has values and respect. That people are once again proud to say that they are politicians, councilors and mayors. see us as someone who has received a gift and who works for society”, he declared.
Regarding Mato Grosso, Mauro highlighted the power of food production in the state. He stated that we are in one of the few regions on the planet capable of doubling its food production capacity in the next ten years.
“When you have an efficient government, you have an efficient government to collect, but also to reverse this resource. Society wins. They say that the State has a lot of money, but that is a clear misunderstanding of what the Public Power is. efficient government, it collects, but also returns benefits to society”, he said.
Still in the speech, Mauro recalled his political career and talked about the possibility of running for reelection. Despite the clamor of allies, he said that candidacy was a matter that needed to be discussed.
” that’s why I work, that’s why I left my family and ran for mayor 9th) in 2008 and lost; then I was a candidate in 2010 (to the government) and lost again; 2012 I became mayor and in 2018 I came to government And I’m still here today. It’s two by two, huh?! Do I stop here or break the tie? It’s a decision I’ll make in the next few days”, he joked.
branches
In addition to the inauguration of the new headquarters, the Union made new affiliations, especially of 16 mayors. With this, the legend reaches 40 municipal managers, 18 vice-mayors and 233 councilors, becoming the largest party in the state. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/01/at-unio-brasil-event-mauro-receives-a-standing-ovation-and-shows-concern-for-virginias-health-noticias-de-mt/ | 2022-05-31T22:49:29Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/01/at-unio-brasil-event-mauro-receives-a-standing-ovation-and-shows-concern-for-virginias-health-noticias-de-mt/ | false | 2 |
Max Motors Dealerships, co-owned by Mark Muller and Bob Jacaway, last month purchased the Nevada Auto Mall dealership, marking its second store in Nevada, Mo.
Max Motors of Harrisonville, Mo., on April 7 bought the Ford-Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram store from Dan Hope, according to Performance Brokerage Services, a buy-sell firm in Irvine, Calif., which handled the transaction. Paul Kechnie, Texas and Midwest partner for the firm, brokered the deal.
Max Motors renamed the dealership Max Ford-Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram Nevada.
Hope opened the auto mall in 1994 after starting his career selling cars in 1969 and buying his first store in 1975, according to the brokerage firm.
Max Motors retained Hope's employees including his son, Dan Hope Jr., and grandson, Dan Hope III, Jacaway, the firm's CEO, told Automotive News.
Max Motors was founded in 2006 in Butler, Mo., by Muller. He and his family starred in "God, Guns & Automobiles," a reality TV show that aired on the History Channel.
Jacaway said the group wanted to add the auto mall to its portfolio to boost its reach.
"With the addition of Nevada Auto Mall, that gives us three Ford and three CDJR stores in contiguous markets and expands our ability to service our customers," he wrote in an email.
Max Motors also has a Chevrolet-Buick-GMC dealership in Nevada, Mo. Last year, it expanded to Kansas with the purchase of Ford and Hyundai dealerships in Manhattan.
In addition to the Nevada, Mo., locations and its Kansas dealerships, Max Motors also has a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram store in Belton, Mo., a Ford store in Harrisonville, a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram-Ford store in Butler, plus a collision center in Harrisonville and a used-vehicle dealership in Belton. | https://www.autonews.com/dealers/kia-stellantis-and-ford-dealerships-sell-3-states | 2022-05-31T22:50:00Z | https://www.autonews.com/dealers/kia-stellantis-and-ford-dealerships-sell-3-states | true | 1 |

Better Call Saul season 6 episode 8 promo jokes about return
Did you know that we have almost six weeks to go until Better Call Saul season 6 episode 8? That wait is going to be painful…
So why in the world is AMC doing this? We’ve already spelled out some of the reasons in the past. A lot of it has to do with the show needed time to get together the remaining episodes; remember that there was a delay in production following Bob Odenkirk having a heart attack, and that’s in addition to the global health crisis pushing things back further. The series will be coming back formally on Monday, July 11.
Have you watched our review of the most recent Better Call Saul episode? If not, take a look at that in full below! After you do so, remember to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube; we’ll have more reviews as the season progresses.
If you look below, you can see a playful preview for the future that references, repeatedly, that we have six weeks to go. You shouldn’t be shocked that there aren’t any real spoilers in here, mostly because they’re going to keep almost everything hidden in terms of what lies ahead at this point.
Ultimately, we tend to think that season 6 episode 8 will kick off watching Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler scramble to pick up the pieces after Lalo killed Howard right in front of them. That’s someone the two were in opposition to, but killing him was never a part of the plan! Lalo could also use this to dangle over the two of them, and that could cause plenty of other problems on its own. We don’t know what happens to Kim — heck, we still don’t know what happens with Lalo, either.

In the solar system family, Uranus and Neptune are almost twins, with the exception of one nuance: the former is much paler than its sister due to a thick layer of haze that astronomers have just discovered after years of wondering.
Uranus and Neptune are the farthest planets in the solar system (the seventh and eighth), and they orbit respectively 2.9 billion and 4.5 billion km around our star. Two small icy worlds explored – only one probe, Voyager 2 in the late 1980s, flew over them.
Since then, thanks to terrestrial and space-based observatories, astronomers have learned to better understand these giants, both of which are made of gas. They were able to note significant similarities in diameter (50,000 km each, five times more than Earth), temperature (about -200 ° C), mass and composition of the atmosphere.
The presence of methane, a gas that absorbs infrared radiation, gives the sisters the same bluish hue, in contrast to the warm colors of Jupiter and Saturn, the other two gaseous planets in the solar system.
But at visible wavelengths, the blue of Neptune appears brighter than that of Uranus, a difference that astronomers struggled to explain until new research came to a single cause.
NASA: Jet Propulsion Laboratory Courtesy of NASA, 1989, NASA image
Published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR), they suggest a haze layer exists on both planets, but is thicker on Uranus. Which “whitens” the appearance of his skin, explains to AFP Patrick Irwin, a planetary scientist at Britain’s Oxford University, the study’s lead author.
To reach this conclusion, he and his team combined old data collected by Voyager 2 with newer data from the Hubble and Gemini North (Hawaii) telescopes. They developed a model that describes the different layers of the ice giants’ atmosphere, over a wide range of wavelengths (ultraviolet, visible and near infrared) – previous research focused on specific wavelengths.
One of these layers, containing hazy “photochemical” particles, was found to be twice as thick as Uranus. These particles absorb the sun’s ultraviolet rays, and will be the cause of the slightest reflection of ultraviolet rays observed on the planet. They may also explain this faint blue color visible to the human eye, “given that these particles reflect on a visible spectrum close to white,” details the study.
With Neptune’s atmosphere regenerating more quickly, it would be more effective in expelling the layer of mist at the origin of Uranus’ pallor.
It’s also in this atmospheric haze that the key to the mystery of dark spots visible mostly on Neptune, and rarely on Uranus, could lie, Dr. Irwin advances.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations will release a report Wednesday documenting in detail the harms perpetuated by the state against Black people and recommending steps to address those wrongs, including expanded voter registration, making it easier to hold violent police accountable and improving Black neighborhoods.
It also recommends the creation of a special office that would, in part, help African Americans document their eligibility for financial restitution.
The report, which runs 500 pages, will be the first government-commissioned study on harms against the African American community since the 1968 Kerner Commission report ordered by then-President Lyndon Johnson, task force Chair Kamilah Moore said.
“I hope that this report is used not only as an educational tool, but an organizing tool for people not only in California but across the U.S. to educate their communities,” she said, adding that the report also highlights “contributions of the African American community and how they made the United States what it is despite ongoing oppression and degradation.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation creating the task force in 2020, making California the only state to move ahead with a study and plan. Cities and universities are taking up the cause with the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, becoming the first U.S. city to make reparations available to Black residents last year.
The task force voted in March to limit reparations to descendants of Black people who were in the United States at the end of the 19th century, overruling reparations advocates who want to expand compensation to all Black people in the U.S.
The report, to be released by the state Department of Justice, marks the halfway point for the two-year task force's work. The draft report does not provide a comprehensive reparations plan, which is due to lawmakers next year.
The report is expected to lay out how California supported slavery before it was technically abolished and oppressed Black residents through discriminatory laws and practices in education, home ownership, employment and the courts.
African Americans make up nearly 6% of California's population yet they are overrepresented in jails and prisons. They were nearly 9% of people living below the poverty level and made up 30% of people experiencing homelessness in 2019, according to state figures.
Despite it being a “free” state, an estimated 1,500 enslaved African Americans lived in California in 1852, according to the draft report. The Ku Klux Klan flourished in California with members holding positions in law enforcement and city government. African American families were forced to live in segregated neighborhoods that were more likely to be polluted.
Moore said that a state Office of African American or American Freedmen Affairs could help Black residents file claims and trace their lineage to prove eligibility for individual restitution.
The task force in its draft report also recommends compensating people who were forced out of their homes for construction projects such as parks and highways and general renewal, as happened to San Francisco's historically Black and once-thriving Fillmore neighborhood.
“Other groups that have suffered exclusion, oppression, and downright destruction of human existence have received reparations, and we should have no less," said Rev. Amos Brown, the committee's vice chair and pastor of Third Baptist Church in the Fillmore. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/California-to-unveil-groundbreaking-Black-17210706.php | 2022-05-31T22:58:32Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/California-to-unveil-groundbreaking-Black-17210706.php | true | 45 |
By now, you should be more than familiar with our series of regularly updating leaderboards for various Marquette Golden Eagles sports accomplishments. Keep checking back to that link in the previous sentence for our charts as the seasons continue to churn through history and MU’s various teams continue to create new memories and accomplishments.
Here, we take a look at the single season goals record for men’s lacrosse.
Bobby O’Grady did not wrap up 2022 with the single season record for points, but he did knock down the program record for goals in a season. Before 2022, only Ryan McNamara had ever scored 40 goals in a season, and he did that exactly on the nose in 2016, the year MU won their first ever Big East championship. At the time, McNamara had become just the second Marquette player to ever record 35 goals in a season and the first to ever clear 37. O’Grady went flying right past the workhorse of Marquette’s first two NCAA tournament teams, and landed on 45 goals in MU’s 15 games in 2022. That makes him the first Marquette player to ever average a hat trick for an entire season. Up til now, Tyler Melnyk’s 2.57 per game in 2014 was the gold standard for the Blue and Gold.
I want to take another thing into account here while celebrating O’Grady’s accomplishment. Scroll down and look at the top 10 right now. You know what you don’t see? You don’t see anyone listed twice. No one in the admittedly short history of Marquette lacrosse has ever had two 24+ goal seasons. Even Ryan McNamara, who set the record in 2016, followed that up with just 22 markers the following season. So here’s the thing about that, as we go forward: Bobby O’Grady is going to get three more cracks at this top 10 list. Three more cracks at breaking his own record, sure, three more shots at becoming MU’s first ever 50 goal scorer. That’s the obvious way to look at it.
The other way to look at it? There’s a non-zero chance that this top 10 list turns into a Bobby O’Grady tribute page by the time his collegiate career is over. It seems extremely likely that O’Grady will bump at least one of these guys out of the top 10 eventually as all he has to do to get there is go just a bit past half as many goals as he had this season. He had three goals a game this year, and if he drops to just two a game while playing 15 games next year, that’s still a three-way tie for the fifth most goals in a season. Heck, forget the top 10 list, the top 5 spots could be just Bobby O’Grady and Ryan McNamara by the time things are said and done.
Here’s what the chart looks like at the end of the 2022 season. | https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2022/5/31/23145835/marquette-golden-eagles-mens-lacrosse-single-season-goals-record-top-10 | 2022-05-31T22:59:47Z | https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2022/5/31/23145835/marquette-golden-eagles-mens-lacrosse-single-season-goals-record-top-10 | false | 1 |
US expected to send medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is expected to announce it will send Ukraine a small number of high-tech, medium-range rocket systems, a critical weapon that Ukrainian leaders have been begging for as they struggle to stall Russian progress in the Donbas region, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The U.S. plan tries to strike a balance between the desire to help Ukraine battle ferocious Russian artillery barrages while not providing arms that could allow Ukraine to hit targets deep inside Russia and trigger an escalation in the war. President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would not send Ukraine “rocket systems that can strike into Russia.”
Any weapons system can shoot into Russia if it’s close enough to the border. The aid package expected to be unveiled Wednesday would send what the U.S. considers medium-range rockets — they generally can travel about 45 miles (70 kilometers), said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss aid not yet made public.
The expectation is that Ukraine could use the rockets in the eastern Donbas region, where they could both intercept Russian artillery and take out Russian positions in towns where fighting is intense, such as Sievierodonetsk.
Sievierodonetsk is important to Russian efforts to capture the Donbas before more Western arms arrive to bolster Ukraine’s defense. The city, which is 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of the Russian border, is in an area that is the last pocket under Ukrainian government control in the Luhansk region of the Donbas.
U.S. officials did not say how much the aid will cost, but it will be the 11th package approved so far, and will be the first to tap the $40 billion in assistance recently passed by Congress. The rocket systems would be part of Pentagon drawdown authority, so would involve taking weapons from U.S. inventory and getting them into Ukraine quickly. Ukrainian troops would also need training on the new systems, which could take at least a week or two.
Officials said the plan is to send Ukraine the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which is mounted on a truck and can carry a container with six rockets. The system can launch a medium-range rocket, which is the current plan, but is also capable of firing a longer-range missile, the Army Tactical Missile System, which has a range of about 190 miles (300 kilometers) and is not part of the plan.
Since the war began in February, the U.S. and its allies have tried to walk a narrow line: send Ukraine weapons needed to fight off Russia, but stop short of providing aid that will inflame Russian President Vladimir Putin and trigger a broader conflict that could spill over into other parts of Europe.
Over time, however, the U.S. and allies have amped up the weaponry going into Ukraine, as the fight has shifted from Russia’s broader campaign to take the capital, Kyiv, and other areas, to more close-contact skirmishes for small pieces of land in the east and south.
To that end, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pleading with the West to send multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine as soon as possible to help stop Russia’s destruction of towns in the Donbas. The rockets have a longer range than the howitzer artillery systems that the U.S. has provided Ukraine. They would allow Ukrainian forces to strike Russian troops from a distance outside the range of Russia’s artillery systems.
“We are fighting for Ukraine to be provided with all the weapons needed to change the nature of the fighting and start moving faster and more confidently toward the expulsion of the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in a recent address.
Ukraine needs multiple launch rocket systems, said Philip Breedlove, a retired U.S. Air Force general who was NATO’s top commander from 2013 to 2016.
“These are very important capabilities that we have not gotten them yet. And they not only need them, but they have been very vociferous in explaining they want them,” said Breedlove. “We need to get serious about supplying this army so that it can do what the world is asking it to do: fight a world superpower alone on the battlefield.”
U.S. and White House officials had no public comment on the specifics of the aid package.
“We continue to consider a range of systems that have the potential to be effective on the battlefield for our Ukrainian partners. But the point the president made is that we won’t be sending long-range rockets for use beyond the battlefield in Ukraine,” State Department Ned Price said Tuesday. “As the battle has shifted its dynamics, we have also shifted the type of security assistance that we are providing to them, in large part because they have asked us for the various systems that are going to be more effective in places like the Donbas.”
Russia has been making incremental progress in the Donbas, as it tries to take the remaining sections of the region not already controlled by Russian-backed separatists.
Putin has repeatedly warned the West against sending greater firepower to Ukraine. The Kremlin said Putin held an 80-minute telephone call Saturday with the leaders of France and Germany in which he warned against the continued transfers of Western weapons.
Overall, the United States has committed approximately $4.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including approximately $3.9 billion since the Russia invaded on Feb. 24.

- The company secured a $32 million investment from investors such as Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital (BLAO), Palm Drive and Minerva Capital.
- Thanks to its technological and sustainable developments, RobinFood has positioned itself as the most important Restaurant-tech company in the region.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RobinFood, the biggest cloud-based restaurant company in Latin America, has closed a new investment round of 32 million dollars led by Blue like an Orange Sustainable Capital (BLAO), Palm Drive, and Minerva Capital. Also, Bethia, Semillero Partners and MGM sustainable energy joined the round.
Since its foundation, RobinFood has been a reference in the market, thanks to its innovation and impressive growth, attracting investment from funds such as ALLVP from Mexico, Seaya from Spain, Endeavor Catalyst and 14W in the United States.
"At RobinFood we are proud of each of the achievements we've made. We share the vision of our new investors by considering technology as a fundamental tool to revolutionize the quick service restaurant industry and develop essential sustainable processes in today's world," said José Guillermo Calderón, CEO of RobinFood.
Robin Food announces this new investment within the significant growth of the company in Latam, given its disruptive technology and its innovative sustainability projects that are already generating a significant impact in the countries where it operates.
"This new round will allow us to strengthen our presence in Colombia and position ourselves as market leaders in Mexico and Brazil, launching 10 new brands, reaching more than 100M USD in ARR by end of 2022 and more than 1,000 brand-locations. We are currently in 29 cities, and we hope to be in 100 by the end of 2022," says Calderón.
A new impulse for RobinFood Partners digital restaurant franchise model
The investment round will also be a catalyst for the company to continue conquering intermediate cities thanks to 'RobinFood Partners', the program which they have been able to double their presence in Colombia in just 8 months, reaching a total of 21 cities through 'Partners'; in the case of Mexico, there are a total of 4 cities, and it continues to expand rapidly. In Brazil, they will launch their Partners program in May 2022. To date, more than 100 Partners have already joined in the region, where the small restaurateur is given the opportunity of additional income and they hope to have 500 Partners by the end of 2022.

RobinFood is a company that works under a complete technological ecosystem where more than 130 engineers work to generate the best user experience and optimize processes inside and outside the production and logistics chain, with the commitment to generate the least possible impact in the environment.
Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its revolutionary technology, developed 100% in the region, RobinFood cooks food according to a sophisticated model that allows it to forecast demand and reduce food waste. This allowed the company to save more than 650 tons of food in 2021.
In 2021 RobinFood became the first Latin American member of the Cool Food Pledge, a WRI (World Resources Institute) initiative that helps organizations globally reduce the environmental impact of their operations.
In addition, thinking of promoting equality within the company, RobinFood promotes the effective participation of women and equal opportunities. For this reason, it currently employs more than 160 single mothers; 48.7% of operational employees are women; with the closing of the round, Jocelyn Cortez Young, Managing Partner & Founder of Minerva Capital Group, joins the Board of Directors.

After this tragic Texas school shooting, I heard lots of the same rhetoric and analysis that I have heard before on the news. Talk is good, but only if it leads to action.
What I propose is not new, but I believe would help to improve the safety and security of schools. These improvements and suggestions start with designing/re-designing and embellishing upon existing school design layouts. There need to be front entrance points where teachers, students, and staff are only allowed to enter and exit. These front entrance points lead to a desk where one or two armed plainclothes security or security guards check visitors into the school by having visitors sign in and turn in their driver’s license until they are ready to leave. In turn, the visitor receives a peel-off name badge. All other doors can only be exited.
However, to gain entry to these doors, teachers and staff can only enter using a key-in code, key or both. Also, local law enforcement, fire, EMTs and local first responders would need to be given the access code for all doors to the school and/or a key.
Security cameras need to be trained on all access and exit points including the front entrance. Security cameras must also be located at the front check-in security checkpoint and in the school office to monitor all access and exit points. In addition, the front security checkpoint for visitors to check-in when entering the building and the school office should have alarms with buttons that can be pushed to summon law enforcement. I believe that this design plan would improve school safety and security, provide a cost-effective solution and most importantly, save precious lives.

Man accused in clinic shooting declines to look at survivors
BUFFALO, Minn. (AP) — A man accused in a shooting attack on a Minnesota medical clinic that killed one staff member and wounded four others last year refused to look at the survivors as they described their pain and terror. Gregory Ulrich is being tried on charges of murder, attempted murder and other counts in the Feb. 9, 2021, shooting at the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo, a small city about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis. Ulrich sat attentively at the table with his lawyers through the first two weeks of trial. On Tuesday he laid his head on a courtroom table and wrapped his arms around it as victims took the stand. He didn’t look up through two hours of testimony. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/05/31/man-accused-in-clinic-shooting-declines-to-look-at-survivors/ | 2022-05-31T23:10:19Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/05/31/man-accused-in-clinic-shooting-declines-to-look-at-survivors/ | false | null |
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police say an 11-year-old boy convinced a car thief to let him and his four young brothers out of their minivan after it was stolen in Minneapolis Sunday afternoon.
The children’s parents “stepped away from their running vehicle,” according to police, on East Lake Street near 12th Avenue South, leaving five boys between the ages of 1 and 11 alone inside.
It’s not clear how long the parents were gone, but just before 3 p.m., an unknown man got into the driver’s seat and drove off with the boys in tow.
(credit: CBS)
Police say the oldest boy was able to persuade the thief to let them out, and the man dropped them off one block north of where they were originally parked. He then drove off.
The oldest boy then used his cellphone to call his parents, and they were all soon reunited.
The minivan is still missing. It’s a 2007 Silver Honda Odyssey that may have either of these Minnesota license plate numbers: XNB-858 or MWY-024.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to submit an anonymous tip online to Crime Stoppers, or call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2616410317409/in-the-news-dr-yohuru-williams-discusses-long-way-to-go-since-george-floyd-s-death | 2022-05-31T23:15:38Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2616410317409/in-the-news-dr-yohuru-williams-discusses-long-way-to-go-since-george-floyd-s-death | false | 4 |
Australian organisations face significant change for the 30 June 2022 reporting season, with the introduction of the Simplified Disclosure reporting framework and removal of the reporting entity concept for private for-profit entities.
Over the last few years, the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has fundamentally shifted the financial reporting framework in Australia, the impacts of which are mandatorily applicable for the first time for years beginning on or after 1 July 2021 (30 June 2022 year-ends).
These changes see two fundamental shifts in the Australian Financial Reporting Regulatory Landscape:
- The Removal of the 'reporting entity' concept for private for-profit entities, and a new framework for determining who can prepare Tier 1 or Tier 2 General Purpose Financial Statements (GPFS) and who can prepare Special Purpose Financial Statements (SPFS).
- The replacement of the Reduced Disclosure Regime (RDR) for all Tier 2 GPFS with the new Simplified Disclosures (SDS) framework for all organisations both for-profit and not-for-profit.
The result of these changes is that there will be fewer organisations that can prepare SPFS as more will be captured in the GPFS requirements.
For those organisations there is likely to be a significant increase in disclosure requirements as they move to GPFS (SDS) and potentially recognition and measurement implications as Tier 2 GPFS must comply with all recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards (AAS).
For organisations who were previously reporting under the RDR regime, they are likely to see a decrease in the level of their disclosures as they adopt the SDS requirements.
Moore Australia's guide to transitioning to Simplified Disclosure Reporting has been designed to assist you in determining what type of financial statements you organisation is required to prepare for years beginning on or after 1 July 2021 (30 June 2022 year-ends onwards) and how to approach the transition for common transition scenarios.
If you require any assistance don't hesitate to contact your local Moore Australia office today. Our experts are available to assist you in navigating these changes and ensure you are ready for the new reporting frameworks.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police have identified the two women killed over the weekend when two cars crashed during an annual Memorial Day “cruise” night and injured 20 people when the cars struck a crowd of bystanders in Nebraska's capital city.
Lincoln Police said Tuesday that 20-year-old Emily Siebenhor and 22-year-old Edith Hermosillo died in the Sunday night crash on O Street in Lincoln after a Ford Taurus smashed into the Toyota Corolla they were in. Of the people who were injured, only two remained hospitalized Tuesday, with one in improving to serious condition and the other improving to fair condition.
The crash happened shortly after 10:45 p.m. Sunday while crowds of people gathered in business parking lots along Lincoln's main street to watch the classic cars participating in the “Americruise” event. Neither of the cars involved in the crash were participating in the cruising event, and officials have said it was a collision that could have happened at any time.
Police said a number of bystanders responded quickly to start providing first aid after the crash. Authorities asked anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward to help with the investigation, especially if they have videos or photos of the event. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Police-ID-2-women-killed-in-Nebraska-crash-that-17210639.php | 2022-05-31T23:25:11Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Police-ID-2-women-killed-in-Nebraska-crash-that-17210639.php | true | 16 |
Texas's HB20 was put on hold Tuesday by the Supreme Court, five-to-four. As is typical for emergency for emergency requests, the majority did not define its reasoning; Justice Alito wrote a six page dissent joined by fellow conservatives Gorsuch and Thomas, while Kagan, a moderate, wrote she would "would deny the application to vacate stay" without signing onto the dissent.
The bill — which has been tied up in court since it was passed by the state's Congress and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott last September — targets "censorship" by online platforms, insofar as conservatives have in recent years been wont to conflate any form of content moderation with censorship. It reframes large social platforms as "common carriers" similar to telecom companies, but uses that logic to restrict the ability of platforms to limit the spread of, ban or demonetize content based on “the viewpoint of the user," whether or not that view is expressed on the platform.
Unsurprisingly, the content, users and viewpoints the law's supporters believe are being unfairly targeted hew rightward: as the Texas Tribune reported last year, Governor Abbott said he believed social platforms were working to "silence conservative ideas [and] religious beliefs." The aggrievement of the interested parties and their desired outcomes weren't lost on Judge Robert Pitman of West Texas's District Court, who wrote that "the record in this case confirms that the Legislature intended to target large social media platforms perceived as being biased against conservative views."
An emergency application to the Supreme Court to suspend HB20 was filed earlier this month by two tech industry groups — NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) — after a Fifth Circuit court had lifted an injunction on the law, doing so in a startling 2-1 decision for which no explanation was provided. Netchoice's members include Airbnb, TikTok, Amazon and Lyft among many other; Apple, Google, eBay, Meta and others count themselves among those associated with CCIA. Counsel for NetChoice at the time told Protocol that the Texas law was "unconstitutional" and would compel "online platforms to host and promote foreign propaganda, pornography, pro-Nazi speech, and spam.”
These same concerns were given new urgency after the Buffalo, New York shooting, in which a gunman with white supremacist beliefs killed 10 people and injured three others in a majority-black neighborhood while live-streaming the carnage. Social media companies worked to remove copies of the footage from their services. Even as they did so, the question remained unsettled as to whether those removals would result in Texas dragging these platforms into court. Confusion as to the law's application was not limited to interested observers, either: in a Twitter exchange with Techdirt's Mike Masnick, the sponsor of the bill seemed unsure on how such situations would play out.
A related law in Florida, using a similar common carrier approach, had most of its major provisions deemed unconstitutional by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month. The question of constitutionality for HB20 will continue to move forward in the Fifth Circuit Court. | https://www.engadget.com/scotus-texas-moderation-law-platforms-hb20-231226107.html?src=rss | 2022-05-31T23:25:48Z | https://www.engadget.com/scotus-texas-moderation-law-platforms-hb20-231226107.html?src=rss | true | 2 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court has blocked a Texas law, championed by conservatives, that aimed to keep social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter from censoring users based on their viewpoints.
The court voted in an unusual 5-4 alignment Tuesday to put the Texas law on hold, while a lawsuit plays out in lower courts.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted to grant the emergency request from two technology industry groups that challenged the law in federal court.
The majority provided no explanation for its decision, as is common in emergency matters on what is informally known as the court's “shadow docket.”
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch would have allowed the law to remain in effect.
In dissent, Alito wrote, “Social media platforms have transformed the way people communicate with each other and obtain news.”
It's not clear how the high court's past First Amendment cases, many of which predate the internet age, apply to Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other digital platforms, Alito wrote in an opinion joined by fellow conservatives Thomas and Gorsuch but not Kagan.
The order follows a ruling last week by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that found a similar Florida law likely violates the First Amendment’s free speech protections.
Republican elected officials in several states have backed laws like those enacted in Florida and Texas that sought to portray social media companies as generally liberal in outlook and hostile to ideas outside of that viewpoint, especially from the political right.
The Texas law was initially blocked by a district judge, but then allowed to take effect by a panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-blocks-Texas-law-on-social-media-17210523.php | 2022-05-31T23:26:05Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Supreme-Court-blocks-Texas-law-on-social-media-17210523.php | true | 32 |
Urges Shareholders to Vote TODAY “FOR” Athira’s Highly Qualified, Independent Director Nominees – Joseph Edelman, John M. Fluke, Jr. and Grant Pickering – on the WHITE Proxy Card
BOTHELL, Wash., May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athira Pharma, Inc. ( ATHA), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to restore neuronal health and slow neurodegeneration, today reiterated its unanimous recommendation that shareholders vote “FOR” Athira’s three highly qualified, independent director nominees – Joseph Edelman, John M. Fluke, Jr. and Grant Pickering – at the company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 19, 2022.
It is extremely important that Athira shareholders vote as soon as possible. To ensure your shares are timely represented at the annual meeting, shareholders are encouraged to vote online or by telephone by following the easy instructions on the WHITE proxy card. Athira urges shareholders not to return any blue proxy cards sent to them by Richard A. Kayne.
Ahead of the meeting, Athira mailed a letter to shareholders reiterating that the company has the right strategy, as well as the right leadership team and board of directors, to drive Athira’s success in this pivotal chapter. The Athira board is highly qualified and actively engaged in the development and execution of the company’s strategy, and has been purpose-built for this phase in the company’s evolution. The company’s leadership is executing against target milestones, with topline results from the Phase 2 ACT-AD study expected by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and multiple other upcoming clinical milestones.
Mr. Kayne is pursuing a misguided, unnecessary and distracting proxy contest that has the potential to disrupt Athira’s progress. Leading proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC agree that board change is not warranted and recommend that shareholders vote on Athira’s WHITE proxy card.
A vote “FOR” Athira’s nominees is a vote for:
- Continued execution of the company’s strategy;
- Laser focus on advancing fosgonimeton (ATH-1017) for the benefit of millions of patients;
- Commitment to scientific integrity;
- Thoughtful board evolution to support the business’s changing needs; and
- A highly qualified and actively engaged board.
The full text of the letter follows:
May 11, 2022
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Athira’s annual meeting is just days away. We urge you to take a moment to protect the value of your investment by voting TODAY “FOR” Athira’s three highly qualified, independent director nominees – Joseph Edelman, John M. Fluke, Jr. and Grant Pickering – on the WHITE proxy card.
Athira’s board and leadership team are focused on doing what is right for Athira, our shareholders, and our patients and their caregivers. We have the right strategy, as well as the right leadership team and board of directors, to drive Athira’s success in this pivotal chapter. With topline results from the Phase 2 ACT-AD study expected by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and multiple other upcoming clinical milestones, the stakes are high. Richard A. Kayne is pursuing a misguided, unnecessary and distracting proxy contest that has the potential to disrupt our progress.
As you consider your vote, we would like to reiterate the following:
- Leading proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) recognize that board change is not warranted and recommend that shareholders vote on Athira’s WHITE proxy card.
- In making its recommendation, Glass Lewis said1:
- “Again, where Mr. Kayne's platform notionally asserts critical change is needed — in this case, with respect to sector expertise — it appears achievement of that change is ultimately subordinate to Mr. Kayne obtaining a board seat.”
- “[A]nalyses disclosed by both Athira and Mr. Kayne suggest the Company has outperformed noted benchmarks since [Mark Litton’s] appointment [as CEO].”
- “As such, we do not consider [Mr. Kayne’s and Mr. Bickerstaff’s] appointments necessarily portend significant, favorable change in this regard, and would, instead, express concern that their elections could be problematically destabilizing at a critical juncture for Athira despite what appear to be good faith efforts by the board to resolve the current contest.”
- “Much to the contrary, we are concerned the current campaign is disconcertingly titled (sic) toward offering overly favorable representations of Mr. Kayne's current business associate and the Company's former CEO, while providing investors with a very limited plan and a potentially compromised slate.”
- “Accordingly, we recommend shareholders use management's WHITE proxy card to vote FOR all nominees.”
- “Again, where Mr. Kayne's platform notionally asserts critical change is needed — in this case, with respect to sector expertise — it appears achievement of that change is ultimately subordinate to Mr. Kayne obtaining a board seat.”
- In making its recommendation, ISS stated1:
- “Despite attempting to do so, [Mr. Kayne] has not successfully made the case that the company must effect changes to better weather the binary path it has before it.”
- “Despite attempting to do so, [Mr. Kayne] has not successfully made the case that the company must effect changes to better weather the binary path it has before it.”
- In making its recommendation, Glass Lewis said1:
- Athira’s leadership team is executing effectively, and we are poised to report topline results from the Phase 2 ACT-AD study by the end of the second quarter of 2022. We are targeting full enrollment of the LIFT-AD Phase 3 study for the third quarter of 2022, with topline data expected in the first half of 2023. We dosed the first patient in the SHAPE Phase 2 clinical trial of fosgonimeton (ATH-1017) in Parkinson’s disease dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies in January 2022. We are also continuing to progress our pipeline with the initiation of a Phase 1 study of ATH-1020, Athira’s novel, orally available, brain-penetrant small molecule, which was launched in the first quarter after receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance for the Investigational New Drug application in January 2022. Your board and leadership team are continuing to take the right actions to advance fosgonimeton through clinical trials and bring this potentially transformative medicine to millions of patients as soon as possible.
- Your board of directors is highly qualified and actively engaged in the development and execution of the company’s strategy. Together, Athira’s directors bring significant experience in clinical development, the regulatory approval process, drug commercialization, finance and financial planning, capital allocation, business development, legal and risk management, and investment management. We continue to work closely with the leadership team to define Athira’s strategic priorities. As directors, we take responsibility for ensuring that those strategic priorities are executed as planned.
- Athira has systematically and thoughtfully added experience and expertise to your board in support of advancing our strategy. Athira has added two new highly qualified, independent directors to the board in 2022, and three in the past year. Our director nominees – Messrs. Edelman, Fluke and Pickering – have the right skills and experience needed to support Athira at this critical time.
- We have a strong leadership team, led by CEO Mark Litton, M.B.A., Ph.D. Dr. Litton has significant executive leadership, clinical development, commercialization, operational, regulatory, legal and risk management, finance and business development experience honed over more than 25 years in the biopharmaceutical industry. Dr. Litton is also supported by an outstanding team of leaders that is executing strongly – including leaders with extensive clinical development, regulatory, commercialization, and launch experience. The board believes that continuity is important at this pivotal moment in our company’s history.
- Athira is well capitalized and advantageously positioned to execute key objectives with cash on hand to fund the organization through multiple upcoming clinical milestones, including receipt of topline data for the ACT-AD, LIFT-AD and SHAPE trials.
Simply put, a vote “FOR” Athira’s nominees is a vote for:
- Continued execution of the company’s strategy;
- Laser focus on advancing fosgonimeton for the benefit of millions of patients;
- Commitment to scientific integrity;
- Thoughtful board evolution to support the business’s changing needs; and
- A highly qualified and actively engaged board.
PROTECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT – VOTE “FOR” ATHIRA’S THREE NOMINEES ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY
It is extremely important that Athira shareholders vote as soon as possible. Athira’s board unanimously recommends that you use the WHITE proxy card to vote today “FOR” Athira’s three director nominees: Joseph Edelman, John M. Fluke, Jr. and Grant Pickering.
To ensure your shares are timely represented at the annual meeting on May 19, shareholders are encouraged to vote online or by telephone by following the easy instructions on the WHITE proxy card.
Please do not vote using any blue proxy cards you may receive from Mr. Kayne — even as a “protest vote.” Any vote on Mr. Kayne’s blue proxy card will revoke your prior vote on a WHITE proxy card. Even if you have already voted using a blue proxy card, you have the right to change your vote by simply using the WHITE proxy card and voting “FOR” Athira’s highly qualified director nominees. Only your latest-dated proxy counts.
Thank you for your support,
Your Athira board of directors

- Details
Bitcoin is a digital or virtual currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning it is not subject to government or financial institution control. The network is based on a blockchain, a public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions. Explore Bitcoin Decoder for further information.
Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.
Bitcoin can be used to pay for things electronically if both parties are willing. In that sense, it's like conventional dollars, euros, or yen, which are also traded digitally.
However, bitcoin's most important characteristic is that it is decentralized. No single institution controls the bitcoin network. This puts some people at ease because it means that a large bank can't control their money.
Benefits of the Bitcoin System
The Bitcoin System has a number of advantages that make it stand out from other investment opportunities.
First, the Bitcoin System is completely decentralized. There is no central authority that controls the system. This means that there is no single point of failure and no one can manipulate the system for their own benefit.
Second, the Bitcoin System is incredibly secure. All transactions are verified by the network of computers running the Bitcoin software and each transaction is encrypted. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to steal or fraudulently spend bitcoins.
Third, because there is no central authority controlling the Bitcoin System, there are very low transaction fees. This is in contrast to traditional financial institutions which typically charge high fees for processing payments.
Fourth, the Bitcoin System is global. Anyone with an internet connection can use the system to send or receive payments. This makes it ideal for businesses that need to make international payments or for individuals who want to send money to family and friends overseas.
Finally, the Bitcoin System is growing in popularity and acceptance. More and more businesses and individuals are using bitcoins every day. This increasing adoption will likely lead to further increases in the value of bitcoins.
Risks Involved in Bitcoin System
As with any new technology, there are certain risks associated with using Bitcoin. For example, the price of Bitcoins could drop suddenly and sharply, and this could lead to losses for users who are holding the currency. There is also the risk that hackers could target the Bitcoin system and steal funds from users' wallets. Finally, there is the risk that the value of Bitcoin could fluctuate wildly, making it difficult to use as a stable store of value or unit of account. However, these risks are relatively small compared to the potential rewards of using Bitcoin. Overall, Bitcoin offers a unique and innovative way to send and receive payments that have many advantages over traditional methods.
Working Mechanism of the Bitcoin System
Bitcoin can be used to book hotels on Expedia, shop for furniture on Overstock, and buy Xbox games. But much of the hype is about getting rich by trading it. The price of bitcoin skyrocketed into the thousands in 2017.
When you understand how Bitcoin works, you realize that it is not magic. It is just a ledger system with some interesting properties.
The key to understanding Bitcoin is to understand the grand experiment that is taking place. Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, designed it as an alternative to the current banking system. The banks are centralized and they control the money supply. They can inflate the currency or charge exorbitant fees.
The Bitcoin network is decentralized and there is no central authority controlling the money supply. The total number of bitcoins that will ever be created is capped at 21 million. This makes Bitcoin immune to inflation.
With traditional banking, you put your trust in a third party - a bank - to keep your money safe. With Bitcoin, you are the bank. You are responsible for your own money. If you lose your bitcoins, there is no one to bail you out.
This may sound like a recipe for disaster, but so far the Bitcoin network has been incredibly reliable. There have been no major security breaches and the system has operated smoothly for years.
The key to understanding Bitcoin is to understand the incentives of the people running the network. The miners are rewarded with new bitcoins for their work verifying transactions. In order to keep miners honest, Nakamoto designed the system so that miners would only be rewarded if they followed the rules of the network. | https://nativenewsonline.net/advertise/branded-voices/basics-of-bitcoin-for-beginners | 2022-05-31T23:29:24Z | https://nativenewsonline.net/advertise/branded-voices/basics-of-bitcoin-for-beginners | true | 1 |

Heavily armed rival gangs began clashing and seizing territory in Port-au-Prince with new intensity in late April, forcing more than 16,800 people, including children, to abandon their homes and shelter in temporary accommodation. The flare in violence has spilled into dozens of neighborhoods, with hundreds of families caught in the crossfire.
At least 92 of the 188 people reportedly killed between April 24 and May 26 were non-gang members, with another 113 people injured, 12 missing and 49 kidnapped for ransom, according to OCHA.
But given the restricted access to the districts where territorial clashes are ongoing, the office warned the number of people killed could be much higher.
The intensity and duration of the violence has wracked the country as it is still reeling from the assassination of
President Jovenel Mo?se last July, and the power vacuum his killing has left behind. The UN Security Council, meanwhile, is preparing to debate the future of the UN’s longtime presence in Haiti, leaving a question mark over its mandate in the country.
“Armed violence has reached unimaginable and intolerable levels in Haiti,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Michelle Bachelet said earlier this month, urging the Haitian authorities to restore the rule of law and calling on the international community to redouble its efforts to prevent the situation from “spiraling out of control.”
Officials say that the scale of the gang violence has reached unprecedented levels. Testimonies collected and cited by Bachelet included beheadings, chopping and burning of bodies, and the killing of minors accused of being informants for rival gangs.
Gangs have also gang-raped children as young as 10, a tactic used to punish people living in areas under rival control, Bachelet said.
The clashes have forced 11 medical centers and at least 442 schools to close — with some burned down and burgled. They have also blocked the two main national roads connecting the capital to the rest of the country, restricting the movement of people and goods.
OCHA said that while the violence appeared to have subsided in the last few days, the situation still remained “highly volatile.”
The Haitian Prime Minister’s Office and Haiti’s Police did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. However, Prime Minister Henry has repeatedly
said that his government is working to create security in the country.
Haiti has been in turmoil for years, but the violence escalated dramatically since Mo?se’s assassination on July 7, 2021.
Mo?se’s killing plummeted the country into political chaos, with opposition groups refusing to recognize the appointment of the current Prime Minister, Ariel Henry. Henry had promised a quick transition of power and elections once he took office on July 20 last year, but has been unable to reach a political deal for the transition or a timeline for elections.
In addition to the security situation and political crisis, Haiti is also suffering from high inflation levels and food insecurity, with one in five children in the neighborhood of Cit? Soleil, near Port-au-Prince, under the age of 5 suffering from acute malnutrition, according to the UN. | https://grenadachronicle.com/surging-gang-violence-in-haitis-capital-leaves-nearly-200-dead-in-one-month/ | 2022-05-31T23:39:08Z | https://grenadachronicle.com/surging-gang-violence-in-haitis-capital-leaves-nearly-200-dead-in-one-month/ | false | 13 |
Telus reports 'degradation of 911 service' for customers in B.C. and Alberta
Another 911 outage was reported in British Columbia on Monday, this time affecting Telus and Koodo mobile customers.
The issue affected customers' ability to "communicate with and reach 911 call-takers" using their cellphones across the province, according to E-Comm, operator of B.C.'s biggest emergency call centre.
Koodo is a subsidiary of Telus that operates on the same network.
"During this time, callers were being advised to dial 911 from another carrier or landline, whenever possible," an E-Comm spokesperson told CTV News in an email.
The issue was resolved less than three hours after it was announced on social media.
In a statement, Telus acknowledged a "degradation of 911 service" for some customers, but seemed to dispute E-Comm's characterization of the issues as being province-wide. Instead, the company said it impacted users "in select locations in B.C. and Alberta."
"Upon learning of the degradation, our team immediately conducted a thorough investigation and have now resolved the issue," a spokesperson told CTV News in a statement.
"We take our responsibility to provide safe and uninterrupted access to emergency services extremely seriously, and we know how critical this access is for our customers. We sincerely apologize for the service interruption and thank our customers for their patience and understanding."
The incident was the third time in two months that 911 service has been impacted in the province.
Earlier this month, another outage left parts of B.C.'s Central and Southern Interior without 911 access for several hours. An investigation determined there had been a failure within a "core piece of technology" in Telus's network, according to E-comm.
During that outage, the public was advised to call their local police station's non-emergency line for help with any emergency situations – including those in which someone's health, safety or property was being threatened.
The impacted areas included the regional districts of the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan, Okanagan-Similkameen, Thompson-Nicola, Columbia-Shuswap, Squamish-Lillooet, Central Kootenay, East Kootenay and Kootenay-Boundary.
Back in April, the RCMP announced they were investigating vandalism to internet and television equipment in Summerland, which left residents unable to call 911 from landlines. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/telus-reports-degradation-of-911-service-for-customers-in-b-c-and-alberta-1.17897790 | 2022-05-31T23:40:20Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/telus-reports-degradation-of-911-service-for-customers-in-b-c-and-alberta-1.17897790 | false | 1 |
NEW YORK, June 1 — Wall Street’s three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile oil markets kept soaring inflation in focus and investors reacted to hawkish comments from a Federal Reserve official.
After outperforming earlier in the session, the S&P’s energy sector .SPNYlost ground after a report that some producers were exploring the idea of suspending Russia’s participation in the Opec+ production deal. Federal Reserve policy was also top of mind for investors as US President Joe Biden and Fed Chair Jerome Powell met on Tuesday to discuss inflation, which Biden said ahead of the meeting was his “top priority.” This was after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday the US central bank should be prepared to raise rates by a half percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed.
“The market’s trying to figure out the endgame for the Fed,” said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager at Natixis Investment Management solutions.
And while lower commodity prices would be good news for equities in the longer term, the impact of the report about OPEC and Russia on the energy sector may have spooked the broader market a little on Tuesday.
“That’s the sort of thing that has the market on edge,” said Janasiewicz. “When we started out, the sector leading us higher was energy.” By the session’s close, the biggest decliner among the S&P’s 11 major industry sectors was energy, down 1.6 per cent.
The only sector gainers were consumer discretionary .SPLRCD, up 0.8 per cent, with Amazon.com AMZN.O the S&P’s biggest boost from a single stock on the day, and communications services .SPLRCL, up 0.4 per cent, as Google GOOGL.O was the S&P’s next biggest contributor.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 222.84 points, or 0.67 per cent, to 32,990.12, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 26.09 points, or 0.63 per cent, to 4,132.15 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 49.74 points, or 0.41 per cent, to 12,081.39.
All three indexes had rallied last week to snap a decades-long losing streak.
With Tuesday’s decline, the S&P and the Dow were essentially unchanged for May. The Nasdaq showed a monthly decline of 2 per cent.
“There’re too many concerns at the moment for markets to do a sharp V-bottom,” said Carol Schleif, deputy chief investment officer at BMO Family Office, who sees equities trading sideways for some time due to uncertainties including the Russia-Ukraine war, the global economy and inflation, as well as Fed policy.
“A piece of it is energy prices because at the margin those really impact people’s propensity to spend. People are really noticing the higher prices at the grocery store,” she said.
Earlier in the day, data showed US consumer confidence eased modestly in May amid persistently high inflation and rising rates, while a separate reading showed US home price growth unexpectedly heated up to record levels in March.
Other key data due this week is the monthly non-farm payrolls numbers for cues on the labor market.

Dexcom Inc DXCM.O closed up 3 per cent after the glucose monitoring systems maker denied a report on merger talks with insulin pump maker Insulet Corp PODD.O.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.44-to-1 ratio favored decliners.
The S&P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 53 new highs and 58 new lows.

BUFFALO, Minn. (AP) — A man accused in a shooting attack on a Minnesota medical clinic that killed one staff member and wounded four others last year refused to look at the survivors Tuesday as they described their pain and terror.
Gregory Ulrich is being tried on charges of murder, attempted murder and other counts in the Feb. 9, 2021, shooting at the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo, a small city about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis.
Ulrich sat attentively at the table with his lawyers through the first two weeks of trial. This time he laid his head on a courtroom table and wrapped his arms around it as victims took the stand. He didn't look up through two hours of testimony, the Star Tribune reported.
Before the jury was brought in, Ulrich told Wright County District Judge Catherine McPherson that he was in great pain and would prefer to lie down outside the courtroom.
“Pain is the most powerful drug. I might as well be on heroin. I’m all mixed up and I need some pain medication so I can talk and think about it," Ulrich said.
McPherson ordered Ulrich to remain in the courtroom, where the first to testify was Jennifer Gibson, a medical assistant at the clinic. She shared an office space with Lindsay Overbay, a medical assistant who died in the attack.
Gibson said she heard “a loud metallic bang” around 10:55 that morning and looked down the hallway to see a man with a gun. She heard more bangs and ran outside, where she lay on the ground, bleeding from a gunshot wound in her thigh, and played dead in temperatures around 5 below zero.
Antonya Fransen-Pruden, a registered nurse, walked to the witness stand with a slight limp, a lingering effect of being shot in the back during the attack. She was in the lobby when she and a coworker were shot.
As she dragged herself under a desk, she heard the gunman call 911 and tell the dispatcher to “send a lot of ambulances. There are a lot of spinal injuries and I have bombs that are about to go off.”
Fransen-Pruden spent 10 days in the hospital being treated for injuries to her spine, colon, ovaries and Fallopian tubes. She still has a bullet in her pelvis.
Prosecutors say Ulrich was angry about his medical treatment at the clinic. Court records allege Ulrich has mental health and substance abuse problems.
After the two victims testified, prosecutors played two short videos made by Ulrich in December 2020, about six weeks before the attack.
“They’re gonna find out what happens” when they mess with “a good Christian man,” Ulrich said in one of the videos. “You picked on the wrong person.” | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-clinic-shooting-declines-to-look-17210626.php | 2022-05-31T23:42:48Z | https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Man-accused-in-clinic-shooting-declines-to-look-17210626.php | true | 15 |
Getting the ball rolling on Universal Preschool
The state will soon select local coordinating organizations to oversee the program within communities
Significant progress is being made toward ensuring that every 4-year-old in Colorado will be able to attend preschool at no cost. Last month, Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation establishing Universal Preschool into law. And now, it will be up to local groups to prepare to administer the program in local communities.
The universal preschool program is anticipated to launch in July 2023. It promises to provide access to 10 hours of tuition-free preschool for 4-year olds via both private and public preschool services. It will also provide the tuition-free hours to a smaller number of 3-year-olds that have certain risk factors of disabilities.
One of the programs main draws is that it also promises to simplify applications for families. As proposed, it would allow families to apply for preschool through a single application. This application would also determine whether the family is eligible for other early childhood services.
This program will be the first big launch from the newly-created Department of Early Childhood. And while the executive director of this new department — expected to be the sole finalist for the role, Lisa Roy — will oversee the program and make rules in partnership with an advisory committee, there will be local oversight and coordination of its implementation.
Earlier this month, the department opened applications for these local coordinating organizations as well as a proposed map of the catchment areas where these organizations should be.
At the May 25 Eagle County School District Board of Education meeting, Shelley Smith, the director of early childhood education for Eagle County Schools, said that the state’s recommendation was for Eagle County to fall under the Rocky Mountain Early Childhood Council authority. The council, established in 2000, includes Lake, Pitkin, Garfield and Eagle counties.
However, Smith said that the school district is planning to submit a joint application with the Eagle Valley organization, Early Childhood Partners.
“We just felt that with the intention of providing supports for families and children, that was too big of a catchment area,” Smith said. “We felt that wasn’t in the best interest of the children and families in our community, so we want to present an application that will just have Eagle County and then the Rocky Mountain Early Childhood Council can have Garfield, Pitkin and Lake.”
Smith noted that the partnership between the district and Early Childhood Partners makes sense for several reasons. Not only have the groups collaborated previously on a number of local initiatives, but the joint application is more likely to be accepted as it would represent a partnership between public and private providers, something that Smith said the state department desires through the implementation of Universal Preschool.
“If we submitted just as a school district, our application would be seen as a school district trying to keep the dollars just in school district sites instead of partnering with the providers in our community. But with Early Childhood Partners, if we submit a joint application, I think it will be much more likely to be accepted,” Smith said.
As a local coordinating organization, the group will be in charge of assisting local families with the applications, recruiting local preschools into the universal provider network as well as managing funding for local programs, providers, families and governments.
There are still a lot of unknowns as to how the universal preschool program will be implemented and executed. This includes questions on ensuring staffing for early child care providers — something that local schools and providers have been struggling with — as well as maintaining high quality education, creating possible extensions past 10 hours for working families and how public providers will factor in.
Having these local groups selected, however will be a big step forward and will hopefully provide some structure for local families and providers to get some answers.

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta United defender Ronald Hernández will miss three to four months after injuring a knee ligament in a 2-1 loss to Columbus, the latest in a string of major injuries for the struggling team.
United announced Hernández’s status on Tuesday, saying it also will prevent him from being called up to the Venezuelan national team for international matches.
Hernández went down in Saturday’s game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium while starting in place of injured Andrew Gutman. Shortly after the kickoff, Hernández collided with United goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth and dropped to the turf clutching his right leg.
Hernández tried to stay in the game but had to come off in the sixth minute with what Atlanta coach Gonzalo Pineda described as a “pretty swollen” knee. It was diagnosed as an injury to the medial collateral ligament, though the team provided no additional details.
Two of Atlanta’s most prominent players, goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defender Miles Robinson, both suffered season-ending Achilles injuries on noncontact plays at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Robinson’s injury will also likely cost him a spot on the U.S. roster for the World Cup in December.
Those injuries raised questions about the new FieldTurf artificial surface at Atlanta’s stadium, though the team says there is nothing to indicate it is to blame.
Installation of the new surface was completed in February before United’s season opener. The Major League Soccer Players Association has expressed concerns about the safety of the turf, which is the same product and brand that has been used since the stadium opened in 2017.
“We are gravely concerned about the number of serious injuries that have occurred on the new playing surface at Mercedes-Benz,” said Bob Foose, the MLSPA’s executive director. “We have shared and reiterated our concerns with the league and inquired about what is being done to address the issue. We have yet to receive a clear answer back.”
United has played home games on artificial turf since moving into the retractable-roof facility, also home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, when it opened midway through the MLS team’s inaugural season.
The stadium near downtown Atlanta is expected to be selected as one of the hosts for the 2026 World Cup, though a natural-grass surface will be put down for that competition.
“At the very least, the league and the club should be investigating all possible causes for these injuries and reporting back to the players on proposed solutions moving forward,” Foose said.
Gutman injured his left quadriceps tendon in a 2-2 draw at Nashville on May 21. He is expected to miss two to three months.
Atlanta also lost midfielder Osvaldo Alonso (right ACL) and third-string keeper Dylan Castanheira (left Achilles) to season-ending injuries.
In addition, star forward Josef Martinez returned to the lineup this past weekend, coming on in the second half of his first game since undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery on April 6.
While recovering, Martinez missed seven league matches for United, which has only one win in its last eight games and has dropped to 10th place in the Eastern Conference.

NEW YORK (AP) — The judge who presided over Sarah Palin's libel case against The New York Times denied her request Tuesday for a new trial, saying she failed to introduce "even a speck” of evidence necessary to prove actual malice by the newspaper.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff made the assertion in a written decision as he rejected post-trial claims from Palin’s lawyers.
Her attorneys had asked the judge to grant a new trial or disqualify himself as biased against her, citing several evidentiary rulings by Rakoff that they said were errors. Those ranged from how the questioning of jurors occurred during jury selection, to how jurors were instructed when they asked questions during deliberations.
“In actuality, none of these was erroneous, let alone a basis for granting Palin a new trial,” the judge said.
Rakoff wrote that regardless of her post-trial motions, Palin was required at a trial earlier this year to show that an error in a published editorial was motivated by actual malice — a requirement in libel lawsuits involving public figures.
“And the striking thing about the trial here was that Palin, for all her earlier assertions, could not in the end introduce even a speck of such evidence,” he said.
Lawyers for Palin declined to comment on Rakoff's ruling.
Lawyers for The New York Times did not immediately respond to comment requests.
The libel lawsuit by Palin, a one-time Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska, centered on the newspaper’s 2017 editorial falsely linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting, which Palin asserted damaged her reputation and career.
The Times acknowledged their editorial was inaccurate, but said it quickly corrected the errors they called an “honest mistake” never meant to harm Palin.
Rakoff announced in February even before a jury completed its deliberations that he intended to dismiss the lawsuit because Palin had failed to show that the Times acted out of malice. Jurors themselves rejected Palin's lawsuit the next day.
Rakoff said he thought it was fair to all parties not to wait for the jury’s verdict because he had already decided as a matter of law that the Palin hadn’t proven her case.
Her attorneys cited the timing of Rakoff's announcement as one more reason a new trial should be ordered. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Judge-No-speck-of-proof-in-Palin-s-libel-case-17210667.php | 2022-05-31T23:44:33Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Judge-No-speck-of-proof-in-Palin-s-libel-case-17210667.php | true | 22 |

LA PINE, OR -- The Greater Idaho Movement is changing its proposed map, paring down the plan for a large portion of Oregon to join its eastern neighbor. Mike McCarter is President of the group “Move Oregon’s Border.” He tells KBND News, "We are going to adjust a little bit and try to move forward with Eastern Oregon because it seems evident that the Oregon’s leadership and direction that they’re going has a larger impact on Eastern Oregon than it does on Southern Oregon." The new proposed border no longer includes the southern Oregon coast. "So, it starts at the Columbia River and heads south along the Deschutes River. It does make a dogleg out around Bend, comes back in just south of Sunriver and continues on all the way along the western border of Klamath County." McCarter says they’re not giving up on taking Idaho to the Pacific Ocean but believes it’ll have to wait for Phase two. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2616436932812/late-may-beer-news-from-10-barrel-brewing | 2022-05-31T23:48:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2616436932812/late-may-beer-news-from-10-barrel-brewing | true | 11 |
TROY, N.Y. — U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko paid a visit to Troy’s Little Italy neighborhood Tuesday afternoon. The area was chosen as part of a push to bring federal dollars home to local community projects and initiatives.
The name of the project is Little Italy’s Neighborhood Placemaking for Economic Development. Brainstorming for the community initiative goes back nearly a quarter-century, with members of the Little Italy Quality of Life Committee having a vision and making a dogged push to transform the space throughout the years.
The goal of the project at the 30 Hill St. site is to take down the wall and to transform a vacant asphalt lot at the site of Little Italy’s historic open-air market into a community piazza modeled after those in Italy and to serve as a park for neighborhood programming, festivals, events, and community gathering.
The new piazza will aim to revitalize the historic neighborhood, celebrate the region’s heritage, benefit thousands of residents and visitors, and boost the local small businesses that comprise what survives of the historic Little Italy neighborhood. The transformation of the unused asphalt lot will also help combat urban heat island effect by increasing shade and expanding urban green space with potential areas carved out for a dog park, toddler park, or even a splash pad.
Tonko, D-Amsterdam, spoke about the importance of welcoming public spaces bustling with activity.
“There’s a lot of heritage here and history that you want to incorporate and respect and advance in terms of heritage tourism but also to provide that climate that cultivates the environment that allows small businesses to enter into some of the spaces that you have,” Tonko remarked on the ability to have neighbors come together.
“The impact that the Italian American community made in this given neighborhood is documented very well and to be able to provide a stage for that next era of investment in a piazza that would really speak poignantly to the beauty of such a public space,” Tonko noted on the potential for development.
“I think public spaces are important, especially in our urban cores so that we can address safety, quality of life, a respect for history and heritage and to be able to provide the quality of life components that really define neighborhood and community to the max,” Tonko added on rejuvenating the neighborhood.
Troy Mayor Patrick Madden applauded the hard work by committee members and those residents and business owners striving to make Little Italy a robust community.
“Like a parent you can’t have a favorite child, you can’t have a favorite neighborhood organization but in my time as mayor and the years proceeding that working with the Little Italy quality of life committee has been nothing but a joy,” Madden said.
“[The organization is] very forward-looking, very positive taking the initiative, proposing big bold ideas and sticking to it, not turning away the first year the funding doesn’t come through,” Madden added regarding the determination to see the project through.
According to Tonko, he hopes the $500,000 in funding legislation for the project will pass sometime before Congress goes on recess this August. | https://www.troyrecord.com/2022/05/31/troys-little-italy-neighborhood-hopes-for-revitalization-with-community-piazza/ | 2022-05-31T23:48:46Z | https://www.troyrecord.com/2022/05/31/troys-little-italy-neighborhood-hopes-for-revitalization-with-community-piazza/ | true | 2 |
A jury has found a man guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting of two Métis hunters on a rural road in Alberta.
They also found the man’s father guilty of two counts of manslaughter.
Lawyers for Anthony Bilodeau and his father Roger Bilodeau had argued the shooting was in self-defence.
The Crown argued the accused took the law into their own hands when they chased down Jacob Sansom and his uncle Maurice Cardinal, because they believed the hunters had been at the family’s farm earlier and were trying to steal.
Prosecutors said the shooting was in no way justified.
“This simply is a case of taking the law into your own hands and it’s a case of tragic results,” Crown lawyer Jeff Rudiak told the jury during his closing statements Monday.
“Two innocent men, Jake and Morris, had absolutely no business dying that night … these two fellas did nothing wrong.”
Jurors heard that Sansom and Cardinal had been moose hunting before they were found dead on the side of a road near Glendon, Alta., in March 2020.
Sansom was shot once in the chest and Cardinal was hit three times in the shoulder.
The jurors, who began deliberations around suppertime Monday, returned the verdicts late Tuesday afternoon.
They found Anthony Bilodeau guilty of second-degree murder for shooting Cardinal and guilty of manslaughter for shooting Sansom.
Court heard that on the night of March 27, 2020, Anthony Bilodeau got a call from his father and younger brother, who were pursing a white Dodge pickup they suspected had been on the family farm earlier in the day.
Roger Bilodeau told his older son to meet up with them and to bring a gun for protection, court was told.
Anthony Bilodeau testified that his phone was still connected to his father’s Bluetooth speaker when he heard thuds and cracking glass before his brother screamed for someone not to kill or hurt his father.
Court heard that Sansom smashed the passenger window of Roger Bilodeau’s Ford F-150 with his bare fists then allegedly attacked Joseph and Roger Bilodeau in the truck.
When he arrived, Anthony Bilodeau said, he shot Sansom because the man had charged toward him. He also said he heard Sansom call out to Cardinal to get a gun so they could kill him.
Anthony Bilodeau said he shot Cardinal after the hunter came at him with a large gun. He said Cardinal told him he was going to kill him in retaliation for shooting Sansom.
Anthony Bilodeau testified he could see Cardinal’s gun had a magazine attached and he feared for everyone’s safety. He said he shot Cardinal another two times in the back of the shoulder.
The prosecutor said the killings were unlawful because there had been no threat of violence when Anthony Bilodeau was told to bring a gun.
Rudiak said Anthony Bilodeau was the first person to produce a gun and intensified the situation.
Brian Beresh, a lawyer representing Anthony Bilodeau, told the jury to find his client not guilty because he had no choice but to shoot the two hunters.
Beresh focused on the alcohol levels of Sansom and Cardinal. A toxicology report showed Sansom’s blood-alcohol level was nearly three times over the legal driving limit, while Cardinal’s was nearly twice over the limit. The prosecution said that wasn’t relevant in the case.
Court also heard that after the shooting, Anthony Bilodeau cut up his gun and threw it in a dump. He also disposed of lights from his bumper at another dump. He testified that he did it because he was in shock and didn’t want to go to jail for protecting his family.
Shawn Gerstel, Roger Bilodeau’s lawyer, said his client only followed Sansom and Cardinal to ask them why they were in his yard.
“Roger’s actions that night were a mistake, but they were not criminal,” Gerstel told the jury.
He said the Bilodeaus were on the phone for roughly two and a half minutes before the shooting and could have not developed an “unlawful plan.”

Johnny Depp doesn’t appear keen to leave the UK any time soon as he performed with Jeff Beck for a third night in a row.
The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor is currently awaiting a verdict in his libel trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, following an explosive six-week trial that laid bare the harrowing details of their former marriage.
However, on Tuesday, Depp, 58, left his legal woes firmly off the stage as he performed with Beck, 77, and his band at London’s Royal Albert Hall again.
With his white guitar wrapped across his body, Depp looked to be in great spirits as he sang in front of a packed audience wearing a peaked cap and multiple scarves with a waistcoat and white shirt, which had the sleeves rolled up.
As the gig came to a close, Depp and Beck shared a warm hug on stage before the actor saluted the audience.
It was the second time the pair had shared the stage at the Royal Albert Hall following Depp’s surprise cameo on Monday where he received a standing ovation. Depp also performed with the musician at his Sheffield City Hall show on Sunday.
Nearly 4,000 miles away in Fairfax, Virginia, a seven-person jury continued its deliberations to decide whether Heard defamed Depp in her 2018 article published in The Washington Post.
In the op-ed, Heard discussed her experience with domestic abuse but did not name Depp in the piece. However, Depp’s lawyers argue that the article clearly referred to the actor and suggested he was physically and sexually abusive to the Aquaman actress.
Depp brought the lawsuit against Heard seeking damages of $50million (£40m), but she is counter-suing Depp for $100m (£79m).
On Tuesday, the jury asked the judge a question regarding the article following four hours of deliberations.
They asked Judge Penney Azcarate to clarify whether they should consider the entire article or just the headline.
The article headline reads: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.’
According to Deadline, Judge Azacarate said: ‘I think the confusion came in this particular one because the statement in question is the title of the op-ed, so I think they are confused as to whether it is the whole op-ed or the title is the statement.
‘It is clear that the title is the statement.’

Building consents fall in April, but remain at record levels
- The annual number of home consents surpassed 50,000 again in April.
- Consent numbers are starting to flatten out.
- Home building is expected to remain strong.
Consents for new homes fell by 8.5% in April, and the number being issued has started to flatten off, an economist says.
There were 3719 new homes consented nationwide last month, compared to 5303 in March, according to Stats NZ’s latest figures. Once seasonally adjusted, that was down 8.5% after rising 6.2% the month before.
But there were 50,583 new homes consented in the year ended April, which was up 18% and just the second time the annual number of consents had passed 50,000.
Of those consents, 25,687 were for multi-unit homes, an increase of 33% on April last year. The number of consents for stand-alone houses was up 5.7% to 24,896.

Stats NZ construction and property statistics manager Michael Heslop said it was the second time ever , after March, that more multi-unit homes had been consented than stand-alone houses in a 12-month period.
“In the past five years the annual number of multi-unit homes consented has almost tripled, from 9192 in the year ended April 2017 to 25,687 in the year ended April 2022.”
Multi-unit homes include townhouses, apartments, retirement village units, and flats.
Auckland, followed by Canterbury and Waikato, had the most new homes consented, but the number of homes consented per 1000 residents was highest in Canterbury at 13.1. This figure was 12.5 in Auckland and 10.2 in Waikato.
Westpac senior economist Satish Ranchhod said last month’s pull-back in consents was expected after the jump in medium-density consents in March.
But looking at the longer-term trend showed that while the number of new homes being consented remained elevated, monthly consent issuance had flattened off, he said.
“We expect consent issuance will remain around current elevated levels for some time yet, but we don’t expect further significant increases in consents as the economic incentives for housing development continue to shift.”
The housing market had turned, with prices nationwide down 5% since their peak in November and a decline in sales. Building costs had also increased strongly, and interest rates were on the rise.
That combination of factors would put the brakes on the number of new projects coming to market, but building activity was expected to remain strong over the coming year, Ranchhod said.
“Shortages of materials and staff mean building activity has not kept pace with consents, and completion times have stretched out. That’s left us with a large pipeline of projects.”
While building activity had surged, population growth had plummeted, and the housing shortages that developed in many regions were now being rapidly eroded, he said.
“With net migration set to remain subdued for some time yet, that signals a very different balance between physical demand and supply in the housing market over the coming years.”
He did not expect an “over building” of homes, but said supply shortages were not expected to play the same role in shaping market conditions that they did over the past decade.
Stats NZ also released new experimental figures which indicated that it currently took over a year on average for consented new homes to be built. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/real-estate/128813943/building-consents-fall-in-april-but-remain-at-record-levels | 2022-06-01T00:06:59Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/real-estate/128813943/building-consents-fall-in-april-but-remain-at-record-levels | false | 1 |

The viral selfie of actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, which had first led to allegations of irregularity in the probe conducted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the Cordelia cruise ship drug raid case, was taken by NCB witness Kiran Gosavi to “show his friends”.
Gosavi, who was named as an independent panch witness by the NCB during the search and seizure of the accused, including Aryan, has also told the NCB special investigation team (SIT) in a statement that his friend, “who just wanted to hear Aryan Khan’s voice”, had called him when he was with Aryan.
Aryan and five others were dropped as accused in the chargesheet filed by the SIT last week. Gosavi’s statement is part of the chargesheet submitted to the court.
After the NCB checked the guests arriving at the international cruise terminal in Mumbai to board the ship on October 2, last year, some, including Aryan, were detained and brought to the agency’s office.

While he was in detention, a selfie of Aryan with Gosavi had gone viral. Two videos, including one where Gosavi is seen holding a phone and Aryan speaking into it, was also circulated hours after his detention.
In his statement to the SIT, Gosavi said, “I do not want to say anything on this because I have already been crucified because of his video everywhere. It was just a normal call from my friend who just wanted to hear Aryan Khan’s voice.”

The SIT recorded his statement last month at Yerwada Central jail in Pune, where he was lodged in connection with cases filed against him by the state police. Gosavi was asked 36 questions, including why he had taken a selfie with Aryan.
“I want to say that Aryan Khan was searched but no drug was found on him. However, drug chats were found in his phone. I thought Aryan Khan, being a celebrity, and no drug was found from him… he was made to sit separately to avoid crowd gathering around him. I took one selfie with him to show it to my friends,” Gosavi told the SIT.
Hours after the detention of Aryan and others, the selfie began doing the rounds on social media. Initially, questions were raised on whether the person in the photograph was an NCB officer. The central agency denied this, saying Gosavi was an independent “panch” witness.

The hunt for the missing Marokopa family has gone from days to weeks to months - here's a breakdown by the numbers
A four-wheel drive abandoned below the tideline, and no sign of the father and children who’d been using it – the news quickly captured headlines.
But we still don’t know where Thomas Phillips and his children are. Although they reappeared during a massive search in Marokopa, on the Waikato’s west coast, they’ve since gone bush again, prompting their mother to make a renewed plea for information.
At the four-months-missing mark, Child Matters chief executive Jane Searle said it was “concerning” to think of children in the bush for that length of time, but also hard for government agencies to take action when Phillips had full custody.
Now it’s been almost six months. Police did an aerial search over the weekend, after whānau called off a public hunt planned for June 11 due to safety concerns.
READ MORE:
* Police take to the air in search of missing Marokopa family
* Wanted Marokopa dad still on the run more than one week after court no-show
* Marokopa dad Thomas Phillips a no-show in court on charge of wasting police time
Here’s a by-the-numbers overview of what’s happened so far.
6 – “In a few weeks it will be 6 months since anyone has seen the children,” their older sister recently said, “and it will probably be another 6 years before any government agency will step in to enforce the law or intervene for the welfare of the children.”
3 – The number of children Phillips has had with him both times he’s gone bush: Jayda Jin, Maverick, and Ember, all under 10 years old.
69 – The first search centred around Marokopa, a settlement on the Waikato coast where the 2018 Census recorded a population of 69. Police have said Thomas Phillips and his kids often visited the family farm in Marokopa and had a house in Ōtorohanga.
5.9 – The lowest minimum temperature in the area for May was 5.9C on May 12, MetService said, according to a station about 15km north of the settlement. The highest temperatures were 21.1C on May 1 and 5.
9 – There was more than 5mm of rain in the area on 9 days in May.
18 – Phillips and the children first made the news when they were missing for 18 days in September. They walked out of the bush, alive and healthy on September 30. An extensive search had been under way, including everything from a jet ski to heat-detecting drones.
20 – The family had gone bush again by December 20. Police said they were “aware Thomas and the children are not currently at the family home and will continue to monitor and regularly reassess the situation”.
162 – It’s not clear exactly when Phillips and his kids took off the second time, but 162 days have passed since that police comment.
1 – Phillips faces one charge of wasting police time and resources, relating to the massive police and community search. He was a no-show at Te Kūiti District Court in January.
$2000 – The maximum penalty for the charge Phillips faces is $2000, or three months in prison.
50 –An older sister of the missing children said Phillips is “getting around on a 50cc bike”, and that’s what they’ve been trying to look for.
20,000 – There’s an estimated 20,000 hectares of bush south of Kiritehere Beach, with mixed public and private ownership, according to the Department of Conservation. Kiritehere Beach is where Phillips’ abandoned 4WD was found in September, triggering the first search for the family.
2692 – Older siblings of the children started a petition calling for increased efforts by Police and Oranga Tamariki in the search. On Tuesday morning, it had 2692 signatures.
105 – If you have information on where the missing Phillips family members are, ring 105 and quote file number 211218/5611. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/128812599/the-hunt-for-the-missing-marokopa-family-has-gone-from-days-to-weeks-to-months--heres-a-breakdown-by-the-numbers | 2022-06-01T00:12:54Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/128812599/the-hunt-for-the-missing-marokopa-family-has-gone-from-days-to-weeks-to-months--heres-a-breakdown-by-the-numbers | false | 1 |
Landlord's 'DIY approach' to pest control lands tenant in hospital
A landlord who “stealthily” carried out a fumigation, leaving an unwitting tenant with headaches and nausea, has been ordered by the Tenancy Tribunal to pay his tenants $933.
The tribunal heard that the landlord, Graham Dyce, let the Nelson home in 2018, after his mother, the owner, moved into residential care. His new tenants, the Sui family, were new in the country; their rent would help cover the care home bills.
The family of eight experienced an “ongoing challenge with mice and ants”, and later, a “cockroach infestation”, the tribunal heard.
The tribunal ruling noted a “lack of proactive attention” from the tenants over the pests. However, the cockroaches appeared later in the tenancy, demonstrating they were not due to a change in the tenants’ behaviour.

* 15 weeks' rent in advance, please - landlord of overseas students made 'fundamental breaches'
Dyce took a “DIY approach” to the infestation, making several attempts to fumigate the house, the tribunal heard. The tenants, who had to leave the house each time it was sprayed, told Dyce his methods weren’t working.
Some of the fumigation efforts were made “stealthily”, which meant tenants weren’t able to protect surfaces and items, the tribunal heard.
On one occasion, a tenant, unaware that Dyce had fumigated the home, entered the property. Complaining of nausea and headaches, she was taken to hospital.
The police became involved. When they contacted the landlord, Dyce told them he had fumigated the house that day with a bug spray containing the insecticide pyrethroid.
The tenants produced a medical record from the hospital, showing a diagnosis of “noxious inhalation with mild side effects”.
Dyce terminated the tenancy and lodged a Tenancy Tribunal claim, requesting about $11,000 compensation for pest control, rent arrears and water damage. The Suis also applied, seeking $5300 for damages, including several claims of unlawful entry by the landlord.
The tribunal rejected Dyce’s claim for rent arrears. During the tenancy, he had raised the rent, and the tenants objected, continuing to pay the old amount. The tribunal ruled the increase was considered “excessively above market rent”.
Dyce’s claim for damages was also thrown out. While he claimed the “significant renovation and repair” at the end of the tenancy was to address the cockroach infestation, the tribunal found no evidence that the amount of work he’d completed was necessary.
Dyce was apportioned costs for a small portion of the labour, which was deducted from the amount his tenants were awarded.
The Sui family was awarded $993. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/128813015/landlords-diy-approach-to-pest-control-lands-tenant-in-hospital | 2022-06-01T00:13:00Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/128813015/landlords-diy-approach-to-pest-control-lands-tenant-in-hospital | false | 1 |
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti’s government has nominated a fifth judge to oversee the investigation into the killing of President Jovenel Moïse, magistrate Bernard Saint-Vil told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
It’s not clear yet whether Judge Walther Wesser Voltaire would accept the nomination. He could not be immediately reached for comment.
Wesser’s appointment comes as the investigation into the July 7 shooting at the former president’s private home stalls amid a high turnover of judges.
The previous nominee, judge Chavannes Étienne, told the AP in February that his family was pressuring him not to take the case because they feared for his life.
Étienne was expected to replace Garry Orélien, who had requested more time to probe the case, but Saint-Vil refused to grant an extension.
Orélien had replaced judge Mathieu Chanlatte, whose resignation was announced last August. He cited unspecified personal reasons but left the position a day after one of his assistants died in unclear circumstances.
More than 40 suspects have been arrested in the slaying, including at least 18 Colombian soldiers and 20 Haitian police officers as the investigation continues.
Three other suspects, including a former Haitian senator, have been extradited to the U.S. where they face federal charges including conspiring to commit murder or kidnapping outside the United States and providing material support resulting in death, knowing or intending that such material support would be used to prepare for or carry out the conspiracy to kill or kidnap.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Canada’s government said Tuesday it will allow British Columbia to try a three-year experiment in decriminalizing possession of small amounts of drugs, seeking to stem a record number of overdose deaths by easing fear of arrest by users in need of help.
The policy approved by federal officials doesn’t legalize the substances, but Canadians in the Pacific coast province who possess up to 2.5 grams of illicit drugs for personal use will not be arrested or charged.
The three-year exemption taking effect Jan. 31 will apply to drug users 18 and over and include opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA, also known as ecstasy.
“Stigma and fear of criminalization cause some people to hide their drug use, use alone, or use in other ways that increase the risk of harm. This is why the Government of Canada treats substance use as a health issue, not a criminal one,” tweeted Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer.
The province’s health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, said that “we are taking an important step forward to removing that fear and shame and stigma.”
“This is not one single thing that will reverse this crisis but it will make a difference,” she added.
Dana Larsen, a drug policy reform activist, called the announcement “a step in the right direction,” but said he would prefer to see development of a safe drug supply.
“It’s not going to stop anybody dying of an overdose or drug poisoning,” Larsen said. “The drugs are still going to be contaminated.”
“I think we need stores where you can go in and find legal heroin, legal cocaine and legal ecstasy and things like that for adults,” he said. “The real solution to this problem is to treat it like alcohol and tobacco.”
Alissa Greer, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University who has a doctorate in public health, said a regulated decriminalization of drugs could help lessen overdose deaths.
She said it would be good for users to be able to obtain drugs from “a regulated supply through various models, whether that’s a prescription model, a pharmacy model, more of a compassion club model … rather than going down to 7-Eleven and buying heroin.”
British Columbia is the first Canadian province to apply for an exemption from Canada’s drug laws.
In 2001, Portugal became the first country in the world to decriminalize the consumption of all drugs. People caught with less than a 10-day supply of any drug are usually sent to a local commission, consisting of a doctor, lawyer and social worker, where they learn about treatment and available medical services.
In 2020, Oregon voted to become the first U.S. state to decriminalize hard drugs. Under the change, possession of controlled substances is a newly created Class E “violation,” instead of a felony or misdemeanor. It carries a maximum $100 fine, which can be waived if the person calls a hotline for a health assessment. The call can lead to addiction counseling and other services.
Carolyn Bennett, federal minister of mental health and addictions, said the experiment in British Columbia could serve as a template for other jurisdictions in Canada.
“This time-limited exemption is the first of its kind in Canada,” she said. “Real-time adjustments will be made upon receiving analysis of any data that indicates a need to change.”
Since 2016, there have been over 9,400 deaths due to toxic illicit drugs in British Columbia, with a one-year record of 2,224 in 2021.
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart said he gets emails every Monday on drug deaths, including nine last week and 12 the week before. He said one week it was his own family member.
“I felt like crying, and I still feel like crying. This is a big, big thing,” Stewart said.
The 2.5-gram limit set by federal officials for the experiment falls short of the 4.5 grams requested by British Columbia. The higher amount already had been called too low a threshold by some drug-user groups that have said the province didn’t adequately consult them.
Sheila Malcolmson, British Columbia’s minister of mental health, said fear of being criminalized has led many people to hide their addiction and use drugs alone.
“Using alone can mean dying alone, particularly in this climate of tragically increased illicit drug toxicity,” Malcolmson said.
She said the coroner in British Columbia reports that between five and seven people die a day in the province from overdoses and that half of those happen in a private home, often when people are alone.
“Fear and shame keeps drug use a secret,” she said.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States said Tuesday it will push for additional sanctions on North Korea if it conducts a new nuclear test explosion.
U.S., South Korean and Japanese officials have said North Korea could soon conduct its first nuclear test in nearly five years.
On Thursday, China and Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution sponsored by the United States that would have imposed tough new sanctions on North Korea for a spate of launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles that can be used to deliver nuclear warheads. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-2 and marked a first serious division among the five veto-wielding permanent members over a North Korea sanctions resolution.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield was asked Tuesday whether the U.S. would seek new sanctions if the North conducted another nuclear test. “We absolutely will,” she said.
A united Security Council imposed sanctions after North Korea’s first nuclear test explosion in 2006 and tightened them over the years in a total of 10 resolutions seeking — so far unsuccessfully — to rein in its nuclear and ballistic missile programs by cutting its sources of revenue.
Last Wednesday, North Korea launched its 17th round of missiles this year, an escalation of weapons tests that experts have said is part of leader Kim Jong Un’s efforts to expand the country’s arsenal and apply more pressure on its rivals to obtain relief from current sanctions and other concessions.
Thomas-Greenfield said the sanctions already in place need to be enforced. And if North Korea tests another nuclear weapon, she added, “We certainly, as we attempted in this last resolution, will push for additional sanctions.”
She was asked about the timing of last Thursday’s vote, since China and Russia’s opposition to new sanctions was well known. They had proposed a resolution easing sanctions on North Korea, and some U.S. allies wanted to try to preserve council unity.
Thomas-Greenfield replied that the U.S. draft resolution had been discussed and considered for nine weeks while North Korea continued to test weapons in violation of Security Council resolutions.
“So, they heard very loudly and clearly that 13 members of the council stand strong in condemning what they are doing and they’re being protected by the Russians and the Chinese veto,” she said. “But now they know that the Russians and the Chinese have not been supported by the members of the council.”
After Thursday’s vote, France’s U.N. ambassador, Nicolas de Riviere, said the Chinese and Russia vetoes amounted “to protecting the North Korean regime and giving it a blank check to proliferate even further.”
“France will continue its efforts to ensure that the council is able to act and that it regains the unity it has had on this issue,” he said.
Under a U.N. General Assembly resolution adopted April 26, the 193-member world body is required for the first time to hold a debate on the situation that sparks a veto in the Security Council within 10 working days. Precedence on the list of speakers is given to the permanent member or members casting the veto.
General Assembly spokesperson Paulina Kubiak said the assembly will hold a meeting on the veto of the North Korea resolution on June 8, but she said she wasn’t in a position to confirm whether China or Russia would participate. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/US-to-seek-new-UN-sanctions-if-North-Korea-holds-17210712.php | 2022-06-01T00:20:55Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/US-to-seek-new-UN-sanctions-if-North-Korea-holds-17210712.php | true | 40 |
