COPENHAGEN, Denmark and NEW YORK, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) and its clinical trial arm Lupus Therapeutics congratulate Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) on new positive results from a Phase 2 trial of its investigational agent deucravacitinib for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Deucravacitinib is a potentially first-in-class inhibitor of Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), which regulates the levels of Type I interferons, molecules in the immune system that contribute to tissue damage and lupus symptoms.
Data showed that the primary endpoint at week 32 evaluating the effectiveness of deucravacitinib was met; a significantly greater percentage of patients treated with the study drug met the required reduction of symptoms as evaluated by the SLE Responder Index-4 (SRI-4), a composite measurement of disease activity (58.2% of patients taking deucravacitinib versus 34.4% on placebo). At 48 weeks, those patients given deucravacitinib at an oral dose of 3 mg twice daily showed statistically significant reduction in symptoms according to four objective measurements of BICLA, LLDAS, CLASI 50, and change in active joint counts. Safety was demonstrated with similar rates of side effects between those patients given deucravacitinib compared with those receiving placebo.
These late-breaking data were presented by Professor Eric Morand, Head of the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health in Australia and Lupus Research Alliance Distinguished Innovator Award recipient, at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2022 Annual Congress, June 1-4, Copenhagen.
Albert Roy, Executive Director of Lupus Therapeutics commented, "These are very encouraging results for patients with SLE. We are honored to have played a role in this exciting work by helping to conduct this clinical trial through our Lupus Clinical Investigators Network (LuCIN) of renowned North American academic centers. We thank BMS, all the investigators, and all the patients for their participation in this study evaluating what could serve as a much-needed treatment option."
"The lupus community owes tremendous gratitude to the patients who took part in this study. Lupus is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease which differs from person to person, so many new treatments are needed. We urge every person with lupus to talk to their healthcare professionals about participating in the clinical research as an opportunity for high-quality care while helping improve the future for all those living with lupus," Roy added.
About Lupus
Lupus is a chronic, complex autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. More than 90 percent of people with lupus are women; lupus is most often diagnosed during the childbearing years of 15-45. African Americans, Latinx, Asians and Native Americans are two to three times at greater risk than Caucasians. In lupus, the immune system, designed to protect against infection, creates antibodies that can attack any part of the body including the kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin, and joints.

Richarlison: Everton forward charged by FA over flare incident
Last updated on .From the section Everton
Everton forward Richarlison has been charged by the Football Association for throwing a flare during a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park on 1 May.
The Brazilian celebrated his 46th-minute winner by picking up the flare, which had landed on the pitch, and throwing it back towards the stand.
An FA spokesperson said Richarlison had been charged with a breach of Rule E3, which covers improper conduct.
The forward, 25, has until Wednesday, 8 June to respond to the charge.
Everton have also previously said they would look into the incident. Pyrotechnics are banned from football stadiums in England.

Online grifters are making hundreds by selling on driving test booking slots amid a national shortage.
Motorists trying to obtain their licence are having to wait several months because of a backlog in the system caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
With some applicants having to wait until 2023 to take a test in particularly badly hit areas, a black market has opened up.
People looking to make a quick profit are bulk buying in demand slots and selling them on at a profit.
Others have set themselves up as middle men by using software to quickly snap up cancelled bookings and charging a fee to drivers desperate to get an earlier test.
Metro.co.uk saw one Facebook account charging people £120 and upwards to find them a newly available test time.
The account promised to find both practical and theory tests anywhere in the UK for an inflated price, warning of an extra surcharge for bookings in London boroughs where the shortage is particularly acute.
The Driving Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) usually charges £62 for a weekday test and £75 for a weekend.
But one seller on Facebook Marketplace was offering a single test in Ilford, London, for £300 on Wednesday morning, five times what it would cost through official channels.
Another said they could find a driving test ‘anywhere in the UK’ for a £190 fee, more than treble its value.
A BBC investigation also found evidence of slots being sold on for a profit.
One 23-year-old motorist who had used one of these services told the broadcaster: ‘It was very on-the-go.
‘My driving instructor would call me and say “quick, there’s a cancellation, do you want it?”
‘The day we booked my test it all happened within a three or four-minute phone call.’
In a statement, the DVSA told the BBC: ‘We urge applicants not to use any third-party cancellation checking services and to always go through the official DVSA website.
‘We’ve already put in place measures to monitor and prevent bots from accessing our systems, while also strengthening our firewall to tackle the issue.’
New tests are released at 6am on a Monday and are available 24 weeks in advance.

“In the past few weeks, the word ‘corflusion’ has entered our household vocabulary to describe the profusion of corflutes around polling stations,” observes Trevor Townson of Leichhardt. “Strangely, it seems that, at least in the Inner West, the Greens are among the most dilatory in removing them post-election.”
An impressed Col Burns of Lugarno writes: “Possessing Rain Man savant-type capabilities in mental arithmetic that enable her, while driving, to calculate a pothole (C8) total of 375 (definitely 375), Merona Martin risks being headhunted by Andrew Constance to assist in a Gilmore vote recount.”
Rory McCarthy of Pretty Beach thinks Merona may have the most potholes in her road “but for sheer scale, I nominate Wagstaffe Avenue, Wagstaffe, where the potholes are so large that a resident felt it necessary to erect a large sign saying: No Swimming, No Diving, No Snorkelling, No Fishing.”
“I was told by a lady in Minnesota that she loved my accent (C8) and [asked] where was I from,” says Llewellyn Dickeson of Culburra Beach. “When I said ‘Sydney’, she replied: ‘Sydney Nebraska, I didn’t know they spoke like that.’ I’m still not sure why my answer of ‘No, Sydney Australia’ was greeted with: ‘Oh my Lord, I’ll pray for you!’”
Peter Miniutti of Ashbury “had a similar experience while on a seven-day fall foliage tour. Two sisters were from Louisiana and had never spoken to an Australian before. I had never spoken with someone with that southern drawl, so we happily chatted away for some time. I must have impressed them as they passed on their grandpappy’s possum pie recipe to me.”
“Everyone has an accent,” says Jonty Grinter of Katoomba. “BoJo has an Eton accent, Churchill had a Harrow accent; the only people who don’t have an accent are the royal family, that is why it is called the Queen’s English, which is strongly influenced by their German heritage. Ask any pretentious pom.”
More on the humble pineapple (C8). Dave Williams of Port Macquarie reveals that, at its cannery, “Golden Circle processed 1800 tons of pineapples each day during its busy season, and it only started producing pineapple juice after it realised it was eroding the factory’s concrete floor due to its acidity”.
“Following the multiple discussions on pineapples and where to stick them, does anyone know why one is stuck on top of the Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy at Wimbledon?” asks Geoff Gilligan of Coogee.

DOUGLAS — After taking a break the past two years due to COVD-19, the traditional Memorial Day baseball games between the Broncos from Los Angeles and the Douglas Veterans resumed last weekend with a two-game series at Copper King Stadium.
The event was highlighted by the presentation of four scholarships, the recognition of a longtime participating family and a scholarship fundraising dinner and dance Sunday evening at the Douglas Elks Lodge on 10th Street.
According to event organizers, the Douglas vs. L.A. games began in the early 1960s when two friends, Sergio (Cananea) Brown and Ruben (Toro) Campas — both former Douglas residents — were attending a Los Angeles-area sponsored baseball league game.
Baseball talk led to talking about the fact that they could put a team together of Douglas/Agua Prieta area residents and the team became known as the Los Angeles Broncos.
An idea was formed that the team should go to Douglas every Memorial Day weekend and play teams from the Douglas area and Douglas would in turn go to Los Angeles for the Labor Day weekend and play in Los Angeles.
Both founders have since passed away but the tradition resumed this year under a new name, “The Memorial Day Classic.”
Key investors this year were Joe and Jesse Martinez of the Broncos and Jesus Hughes of the Douglas Vets.
Douglas won game one of the series on Saturday 21-9, but lost game two on Sunday 17-11.
Seventy-two-year-old Hector Leon started the game on the pitcher’s mound Sunday.
“Feels good being back out there,” he said. After pitching the first two innings, he was gassed and was replaced by 68-year-old Poncho Saiz.
Rene Brown, who turns 76 in August and has been a part of this tradition since 1973, said he still enjoys the game but can’t play anymore and now helps Hughes coach the Douglas Vets.
“The heart is there, the body not so much,” Brown said.
Prior to Sunday’s game, Hughes and other members of his board presented the Efrain Brown family with an appreciation plaque. Efrain helped carry on the tradition his dad started before passing away in November 2021.
“In appreciation for your loyalty, leadership, and dedication to the Brown-Campas Memorial Day Baseball Classic at Copper King Stadium from 1969 to 2019,” the plaque reads. “Presented in your honor to your wife Ana and family.”
Efrain’s brothers, Javier and Alex, were on hand to accept the award before thanking everyone involved.
“On behalf of Ana, our sister-in-law, who wasn’t able to be here, we sure appreciate this honor bestowed on our brother and we really want to thank not only you guys that show up here but also the Broncos from California and the players from Douglas,” Javier said. “Muchas gracias, we couldn’t be more honored to receive this award for our brother Efrain. I know he could have really liked to have been here.”
“Thank you, guys, for putting this on and bringing this back,” Alex said. “I got to play with a lot of you guys and my brother. I know my brother would be very grateful and honored to be here. Unfortunately, he can’t but in spirit he is. We really appreciate this.”
Following the plaque presentation four Douglas High School students, Manuel Dominguez, Laritza Martinez, Diego Alan Martinez and Oscar Mendoza were presented with $500 scholarships from the Sergio Brown/LA Broncos scholarship committee. All scholarship recipients say they will be attending Cochise College this fall.
Hughes, who represents the Douglas contingent of players along with Rene Brown, Hector Salinas, Chubby Flores, Eddie Campas and Shorty Fimbres, said he was contacted April 21 by Joe and Jess Martinez who expressed interest in returning to Douglas this year and resuming the Memorial Day series.
“We had less than six weeks to put this thing together,” he said. “The California guys said they wanted to come back, they missed Douglas.”
Hughes said the dinner and dance at the Douglas Elks was respectably attended and whatever money was raised will be applied to next year’s scholarships.
“It wasn’t packed, but it went well,” Hughes said. “Those who attended seemed to enjoy themselves. The music was great.”
Hughes said looking back he’s glad Douglas was able to do this again.
“It was tough because of the short notice,” he said. “We had a lot of people step up and help out.”
Tradition has Douglas going to Los Angeles Labor Day weekend to play over there.
Hughes said that may happen providing they can find a field to play on.
“The field we used to play on is no longer available,” he said. | https://www.myheraldreview.com/a/socoactive/sports/memorial-day-games-return-to-copper-king-stadium/article_051ac468-e0ee-11ec-a99c-7bad7fee63e0.html | 2022-06-01T12:20:17Z | https://www.myheraldreview.com/a/socoactive/sports/memorial-day-games-return-to-copper-king-stadium/article_051ac468-e0ee-11ec-a99c-7bad7fee63e0.html | true | 1 |

Even as the Brentwood Community Chorus prepares for its first two live performances since 2019 this month, it also is recruiting singers for its fall season that begins in August.
After a two-year hiatus, the chorus is performing two free concerts, first on Sunday, June 5 at 2 p.m. at the Brentwood Community Center (760 First St., Brentwood). A follow-up performance is scheduled for St. Ignatius Church (3351 Contra Loma Blvd., Antioch) on Sunday, June 12 at 3 p.m.
The chorus, with special guest quartet “Replay,” would like nothing better than to share their love of music with the community in a full house, the organization said in a news release.
"If you love what you hear, you may make a donation," the organization said. "If you cannot make a donation, one will be made on your behalf by an anonymous local music lover!"
In addition to these two performances, anyone is welcome to join the ensemble as it begins its fall season in August.

Users of Sarwa Trade will be able to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ether, as well as other cryptocurrencies, while having access to U.S stocks and ETFs, all on the same app.

Sarwa, the leading personal finance and investing platform, has launched cryptocurrency trading through its app. This move makes it easier than ever to centralize all different investments a client looks for in one app, from hands-off long-term investing to self-directed trading. Retail investors have been using the platform's trading product, Sarwa Trade, to buy and sell U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds. Now, Sarwa Crypto will offer them a commission-free trading experience of Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash with zero transfer cost for AED local accounts, and tight spread.
Sarwa's offering comes as a response to its community's need and market insights with many retail investors looking to diversify their portfolio to include cryptocurrencies. A recent study showed that 33% of U.A.E. residents claim to have invested in cryptocurrencies and that they plan to allocate 25 per cent of their investable assets into this asset class.
“Having access to investing in a simple, regulated and low-cost environment should be a priority and available for all in the region. There is a significant amount of interest around cryptocurrency in the GCC, even with the recent market development. Yet you didn’t have a platform that offered a centralized view of stocks, ETFs, and crypto in one safe, innovative and easy-to-use app. You do now.” said Mark Chahwan, co-founder and CEO of Sarwa.
“We are launching with the 4 most recognized cryptocurrencies - the ones that were amongst the first to emerge - to give a point of entry in a volatile market,” added Mark. “With virtual assets gaining ground and popularity, even authorities are seeing that the potential of the industry is immense and are making sure they create the right frameworks. With Sarwa, we want to provide our community with an app that allows long-term, hands-off investing, while also combining it with the option to make a few selective bets. We continue to deliver on our promise: giving everyone in the region access to simple, smart, and affordable investing in a secure space. Sarwa Crypto will offer just that.”
Sarwa's trading platform includes features such as daily and weekly investing news. Users can do fractional trading, create watchlists, as well as place limit and stop orders. — business@khaleejtimes.com | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/sarwa-launches-crypto-trading-on-sarwa-app | 2022-06-01T12:26:14Z | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/sarwa-launches-crypto-trading-on-sarwa-app | true | 1 |
LONDON (AP) — West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma has been banned from keeping cats for five years and ordered to carry out 180 hours of community service.
It is a punishment for kicking and slapping his pet cat in abuse caught on video.
The France international received his sentence at Thames Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty last week to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
The soccer player could be seen kicking his Bengal cat across his kitchen, before throwing a pair of shoes at it and slapping its head.
Zouma’s younger brother, Yoan, filmed the incident and posted it on Snapchat.

Pitch's new presentation collection for World Environment Day showcases over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling sustainability challenges
BERLIN, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pitch, the collaborative presentation platform for modern teams, today announced the launch of Fund Our Future, a new presentation collection compiled for World Environment Day 2022. With over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling a broad range of sustainability challenges, in sectors ranging from energy and agriculture to finance and fashion, the collection highlights the pressing need for more comprehensive investment in climate-oriented technologies.
"Reversing climate change is humanity's largest challenge, and humankind's biggest opportunity for innovation," said Christian Reber, founder and CEO of Pitch. "Founders in greentech are launching impactful products that solve global problems, and address a truly global market. It's critical that investors accelerate and diversify their approach to financing this space."
2021 was a record year for climate tech fundraising, with more than $40 billion raised. However, according to a recent report from PwC, the technologies that represent over 80% of future emissions reduction potential have received just 25% of climate tech investment since 2013.
"We have an enormous funding gap in Europe for climate tech" said Danijel Visevic, managing partner at World Fund. "Europe leads the world when it comes to climate R&D, yet only 10% of VC money invested in Europe goes to climate crisis fighting technology. This is the gulf between knowing what we need to do to solve the climate crisis, and having the ability to make meaningful, positive change. At World Fund, we take the view that financial returns - which drive decision making for the wider venture capital community - are now best sought out when you can guarantee a climate return. For the funding gap to narrow, we need others to join us in this fight, and to re-focus their efforts on climate returns."
The Fund Our Future collection is hosted on Pitch's presentation gallery, a dedicated public home for presentations.

What’s Snowmass Town Council talking about in executive session?
State law requires specificity, but town attorney says it’s a ‘fine line’
When Snowmass Village Town Council meets behind closed doors in executive session, the town is supposed to be as specific as it can about the subject of those meetings.
The Colorado Revised Statute requires that the town identify “the particular matter to be discussed in as much detail as possible without compromising the purpose for which the executive session is authorized.”
But of the four executive sessions that the council has convened so far this year — on March 7, March 14, April 4 and May 16 — just the March 14 agenda included a description that went into much detail beyond the scope of “legal advice” or “negotiations.” That mid-March meeting was to get legal advice on the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, the agenda said.
There wasn’t any further detail mentioned by anyone in person during the public portion of the March 7, April 4 and May 16 meetings.
Agendas for all four sessions included “conferences with an attorney for the purposes of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions” as one reason for the closed-door meeting but only the March 14 agenda specified what those questions were about. (In that case, it was about the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act.)
Session agendas for the March 7 and May 16 meetings also mentioned “determining positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations, developing strategy for negotiations, instructing negotiators.”
So what was council talking about, anyway?
According to an email from Town Attorney John Dresser, the legal advice was on “three unrelated matters” that ranged from town housing regulations (March 7) to “existing contractual lease terms regarding compliance, breach, and remedies” (April 4) to “defense(s) to asserted claims” (May 16).
As of 3:20 p.m. Tuesday Dresser had not responded to May 25 email requests for clarification on what lease he was referencing for the April 4 meeting description and what he meant by “asserted claims” in reference to the May 16 meeting.
A negotiation-related discussion March 7 was about “instructing negotiators on compliance and enforcement” and one May 16 was about “developing strategy for negotiations and instructing negotiators.”
Dresser wrote that disclosing information on an agenda can get tricky because of the second part of that state law — the part that says “without compromising the purpose for which the executive session is authorized.”
The state statute is a “fine line” he wrote, “where in certain circumstances a single word in the notice can compromise the purpose for which an executive session is authorized.”
“It is not always an easy decision on what will or will not compromise the purpose,” Dresser wrote.

Access to terminals at Dublin Airport at busy periods will be limited to two-and-a-half hours for short haul flights and three-and-a-half hours for long haul flights with the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) set to introduce a new holding area for early passengers.
The new system has been described as triaging access to the terminals.
It is expected that that a new holding area for passengers who arrive too early for their flights will be in operation from this weekend.
Lengthy queues and chaos at the airport last weekend saw more than 1,000 people miss their flights on Sunday.
This led to an an urgent plan being requested by ministers Eamon Ryan and Hildegard Naughton.
This is due to be revealed by DAA chief Dalton Philips to the Oireachtas Transport Committee on Wednesday afternoon.
It is expected that the DAA will tell the committee that passengers arriving too early for their flights will be asked to wait in a passenger holding area.
Passengers looking to access the terminals will be asked to present documentation to indicate departure times.
The DAA says it will put in place bad weather cover, seating, and toilets in the holding area as quickly as possible in the coming days following a trial run of this system over the June Bank Holiday Weekend.

Contact Gold Announces Start of Spring 2022 Drill Program at Green Springs Gold Project, Cortez Trend, Nevada
Vancouver, June 1, 2022 - Contact Gold Corp. (TSXV: C) (OTCQB: CGOLF) (the "Company" or "Contact Gold") is pleased to announce the start of the 2022 drill program at the Green Springs oxide gold project.
Green Springs is strategically located 7 km immediately east of Calibre Mining's Gold Rock project, and 20 km southeast of their Pan Mine. Gold mineralization at Green Springs is hosted within the same Chainman Shale and Pilot Shale units hosting Gold Rock and Pan. The Green Springs project produced high-grade oxide gold from two open pits in the 1980's, and is host to multiple, near-surface Carlin Type gold zones and exploration targets.
The planned Spring 2022 program includes 3,000 metres of drilling designed to expand the footprint of the Tango, X-Ray, and B-C gap gold discoveries, which were all made in 2021. The X-Ray and Tango discoveries are hosted at the lower Pilot Shale contact within the underlying Guilmette limestone. They are near surface, well oxidized, and remain wide open for expansion with exceptional grades and thicknesses. The B-C gap discovery is the first thick, good-grade intercept encountered to date in the lower Pilot Shale beneath the old mine trend, where previous mining and exploration focused solely on the overlying host horizon at Chainman Shale/Joana limestone contact.
Green Springs Drill Program:
- Drilling has started at the outcropping X-Ray zone discovered by Contact Gold in 2021
- Upon completion of initial follow-up drilling at X-Ray, drilling will shift to follow-up on the near-surface Tango target discovered by the Company in 2021
- Average depth of planned drill holes at X-Ray and Tango of 100 metres
- The Spring 2022 drill program will also include targeted follow up drilling at the BC Gap discovery, which sits beneath the Green Springs Mine Trend:
- Average depth of planned holes at B-C Gap of 250 metres
- A total of up to 3,000 metres of drilling is planned for the current phase of drilling
- The program is designed to follow up on the 2021 discoveries, with a focus on building size, scale and continuity
- The main target areas at Green Springs are fully permitted under a Plan of Operation (PoO) for up to 70 acres of road and drill pad construction
"We are excited to be back drilling at Green Springs, following up on the near surface, oxide discoveries made by the team at Tango and X-Ray in 2021," said Matt Lennox-King, President and CEO of Contact Gold. "Our Green Springs and Pony Creek projects provide a compelling discovery and growth platform in Nevada, one of the world's most stable and well-regarded mining jurisdictions."
Contact Gold anticipates a second phase of drilling later in the year after results from the first phase are received and integrated into the next phase plan. This is expected to include additional follow up drilling at Tango, X-Ray, and the BC Gap zones. The Company believes that ongoing surface exploration at Green Springs will be successful in identifying additional prospective areas and developing further compelling drill targets, especially in the underexplored Pilot Shale, the host horizon to the Tango, X-Ray, and BC Gap discoveries. The first phase of drilling has started later than anticipated due to the late delivery of the drill rig.
The Company also expects to continue expanding the Green Springs drill footprint southward on the Mine Trend south of the Echo zone, as well as tackling the Whiskey and Foxtrot targets in the east of the property as part of the second phase drill program later in the year. An application to expand the PoO area is underway, with approval expected later in 2022, which will allow us to explore newly generated targets outside of our current permit boundary.
Spring 2022 drill program

About Green Springs:
About the Green Springs Project:
Green Springs is located near the southern end of the Cortez Trend of Carlin-type gold deposits in White Pine County, Nevada, east of Calibre Mining's Pan Mine and Gold Rock Project, and south of Waterton's Mount Hamilton deposit. The Green Springs property is 18.65 km2 encompassing 3 shallow past producing open pits and numerous targets that were not mined.
Contact Gold signed a purchase option agreement with Ely Gold Royalties (now a subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp.) to acquire an undivided 100% interest in Green Springs in July 2019. Green Springs is an early-stage exploration property and does not contain any mineral resource estimates as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource estimate at Green Springs. Additional information about Green Springs is summarized in the NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Green Springs Project, White Pine County, Nevada, USA" prepared for Contact Gold, with an effective date of June 12, 2020, and dated August 5, 2020, as prepared by John J. Read, C.P.G; an independent consultant and qualified person under NI 43-101, and can be viewed under Contact Gold's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Vance Spalding, CPG, VP Exploration, Contact Gold, who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of NI 43-101. Drill intercepts were calculated using a minimum thickness of 3.05 metres averaging 0.14 ppm gold and allowing inclusion of up to 4.57 metres of material averaging less than 0.14 ppm gold for low grade intervals and higher-grade intervals were calculated using a minimum thickness of 3.05 metres averaging 1.00 ppm gold and allowing inclusion of up to 4.57 metres of assays averaging less than 1.00 ppm gold. Gravimetric assays are used for all Fire Assays above 4.00 ppm gold. Cyanide solubility assays are completed on all Fire Assays greater than 0.1 g/t. True width of drilled mineralization is unknown, but owing to the apparent flat lying nature of mineralization, is estimated to generally be at least 70% of drilled thickness in most cases. The Cyanide recovery percentages are equally averaged by interval, and are not weighted by gold content per interval. Quality Assurance / Quality Control consists of regular insertion of certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicates. All failures are followed up and resolved whenever possible with additional investigation whenever such an event occurs. All assays are completed at Paragon; an ISO 17025:2005 accredited lab. Check assays are completed at a second, reputable assay lab after the program is complete.

Apple is moving some iPad production from China to Vietnam due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, according to a report. This is the first time that the Cupertino company is shifting the manufacturing of its iPad models out of China. One of the major reasons for Apple to move its iPad manufacturing to Vietnam is to overcome the restrictions that emerged due to strict COVID lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities of the country. However, the US tech giant is also in plans to reduce its reliance on China in general — due to the authoritarian government.
Citing people familiar with the development, Nikkei Asia reports that China's BYD helped Apple build production lines in Vietnam. The contract manufacturer is said to soon start producing a small number of iPad models in the country.
As a result of the update, the iPad will become the second major product by Apple to be manufactured in the Southeast Asian country — following some AirPods models.
Apple is said to have asked its suppliers to develop additional supplies of components including printed circuit boards to avoid supply constraints, especially for the parts that are made in and around Shanghai where COVID-related restrictions are currently impacting usual business.
The company is asking its supply partners outside the lockdown-affected areas to help develop component supplies for a couple of months for all its product lines, the report said.
Apple is also said to have helped some suppliers to meet with the additional logistics costs to maintain adequate supplies.
Although Shanghai is gradually opening up, component suppliers in the city and Jiangsu Province are expecting to take "at least a couple of months" to get their manufacturing capacity return to normal.
Apple declined to comment to Nikkei Asia, though Gadgets 360 reached out to the company for clarity on the reported details. This article will be updated when the company responds.
For some time, Apple is looking to reduce its dependency on China and is planning to shift its production to the next possible market for which Vietnam seems to be the most appropriate choice.
The primary reason for Vietnam being Apple's top-most selection over China is the ease of getting labour and other resources for manufacturing products including the iPad. However, due to very complex input supply chains, the company may not be able to shift its entire iPhone production to any market outside China in the coming future.
India is also said to be in consideration for Apple, though it would be limited for manufacturing the iPhone for some time.
TF Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently pointed out that Apple's move its production capacity to India involves "potential geopolitical risks," which is not the case with Vietnam.
Alongside Apple, Samsung has deep production-side integrations within Vietnam that have already helped the company limit some of its supply hurdles to some extent.
Apple has so far dominated the tablet market globally, following Samsung. According to a recent report by IDC, the iPad captured 31.5 percent of the tablet market worldwide in the first quarter. Samsung, on the other hand, retained its second position, with a share of 21.1 percent. | https://gadgets360.com/tablets/news/apple-ipad-production-manufacturing-shift-vietnam-china-3029276 | 2022-06-01T12:36:28Z | https://gadgets360.com/tablets/news/apple-ipad-production-manufacturing-shift-vietnam-china-3029276 | false | 1 |
Benchmark indices came under selling pressure in a choppy session on Wednesday amid mixed trends from global markets. High crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows also led the indices to end lower for the second straight session.
Sensex fell 185.24 points to close at 55,381.17. During the day, it dived 474.98 points or 0.85 per cent to 55,091.43 after an initial rally. Nifty dipped 61.80 points or 0.37 per cent to end at 16,522.75.
Nestle India, Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finserv, Sun Pharma, Hindustan Unilever, PowerGrid, UltraTech Cement, HCL Technologies, Wipro, Infosys and Bajaj Finance were among the top Sensex losers, falling up to 3 per cent.
M&M, HDFC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank and Tata Steel were among the top Sensex gainers, rising up to 1.32 per cent .
Share Market update: Sensex falls 185 pts, Nifty ends above 16,500; Nestle, TechM top losers
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities said, "Consolidation movement with weak bias continued in the market for the second consecutive sessions on Wednesday and Nifty closed the day lower by 61 points. After opening on a positive note, the market made an attempt to move up in the early part of the session. The weakness got triggered in the mid part and a sustainable upside recovery was seen towards the end. A small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with upper and lower shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates a formation of high wave type candle pattern, which displays high volatility in the market. Normally, such high wave formations after a reasonable up move or down move act as impending trend reversals. But, having formed this pattern within a range movement, the predictive value of this pattern could be less."
On Tuesday, the equity market snapped three days of gaining streak as market participants got nervous ahead of the release of the Q4 GDP data. Sensex fell 359 points to 55,566 and Nifty closed 77 points lower at 16,584. Foreign institutional investors sold shares worth a net Rs 1,003.56 crore in the previous session.
Meanwhile, the rupee recovered from its record low to end 20 paise higher at 77.51 against the US dollar today.
At the interbank forex market, the rupee opened at 77.58 against the greenback and moved in a range of 77.51 to 77.62 in the day's trade.
Global markets
Elsewhere in Asia, markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong ended lower, while Tokyo settled in the green. Bourses in Europe were trading on a mixed note during the afternoon trade. Stock markets in the US had ended lower on Tuesday.

$600 million Senior Secured Green Notes Offering
€250 million Issue of 9% Perpetual Preferred Shares
$240 million Annual Ordinary Share Dividend, Paid Quarterly
Stock Buyback Authorization of up to $200 million through the end of 2023
Intention to Increase Global Asset-Based Loan Facility to $400 million
2022 Business Growth Investment Program Cash Requirement Reduced to $0.7 billion
LUXEMBOURG, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. ("AMP") provides the following update on financing, capital allocation and related matters;
Offering of $600 million Senior Secured Green Notes due 2027
AMP has today launched an offering of $600 million Senior Secured Green Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). Net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes, as described below including the implementation of AMP's Business Growth Investment program.
Issue of Perpetual Preferred Shares
AMP announces it intends to raise €250 million through an issue of 56,306,306 non-convertible, non-voting 9% Perpetual Preferred Shares of nominal value €4.44 per share to Ardagh Group S.A. ("Ardagh"), its 75.3% shareholder. Ardagh has committed to subscribe for these shares. This offering is expected to complete in July 2022, subject to shareholder approval of amendments to the Articles of Association of AMP. The Perpetual Preferred Shares are expected to provide for annual cumulative dividends that may accumulate indefinitely if not declared and paid on a yearly basis. Redemption of the Perpetual Preferred Shares at par plus unpaid dividends, as well as the payment of dividends on these shares are entirely at the discretion of AMP.
Cash Dividends to Ordinary Shareholders
AMP declared a first quarter dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share on April 26, 2022, which will be paid on June 28, 2022. AMP has declared a second quarter dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share, which will also be paid on June 28, 2022, to shareholders of record on June 14, 2022. AMP intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share going forward, to be paid before the end of the relevant quarter. This $0.40 dividend per ordinary share represents a full year cash dividend of approximately $240 million.
Authority to Repurchase Shares
AMP's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of its stock through the end of 2023. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, pursuant to SEC Rule 10b-18 (which may include 10b5-1 programs), or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market conditions. Ardagh does not intend to participate in this stock buyback.
Increase in Global Asset-Based Loan Facility
AMP intends to increase its Global Asset-Based Loan Facility to approximately $400 million, from $325 million currently, reflecting growth in its business and higher commodity costs.
This capital allocation framework follows consideration of changes in financing and equity market conditions and valuations since February. The Notes offering and the €250 million issuance of 9% Perpetual Preferred Shares provide attractive long-term financing for AMP and underpins execution of its multi-year growth investment program.
AMP's quarterly dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share represents a strong and sustainable $240 million annual distribution to shareholders. We have decided to reduce the $400 million 2022 dividend set out in February and to initiate a $200 million stock buyback program because we believe that, in current markets, this is a more effective way of returning capital to shareholders (especially public shareholders, given that Ardagh does not intend to participate in the stock buyback program).
Together, these measures position AMP to concurrently (a) continue its growth investment program, the 2022 cash requirement of which has been reduced from $1.0 billion to $0.7 billion through increased use of leasing, and some re-phasing of project spend, while maintaining its planned production footprint; (ii) return meaningful capital to shareholders by regular cash dividends and stock buybacks and (iii) maintain net leverage in a long-term range of 3.75-4.0x twelve months forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA.

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

Pitch's new presentation collection for World Environment Day showcases over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling sustainability challenges
BERLIN, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pitch, the collaborative presentation platform for modern teams, today announced the launch of Fund Our Future, a new presentation collection compiled for World Environment Day 2022. With over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling a broad range of sustainability challenges, in sectors ranging from energy and agriculture to finance and fashion, the collection highlights the pressing need for more comprehensive investment in climate-oriented technologies.
"Reversing climate change is humanity's largest challenge, and humankind's biggest opportunity for innovation," said Christian Reber, founder and CEO of Pitch. "Founders in greentech are launching impactful products that solve global problems, and address a truly global market. It's critical that investors accelerate and diversify their approach to financing this space."
2021 was a record year for climate tech fundraising, with more than $40 billion raised. However, according to a recent report from PwC, the technologies that represent over 80% of future emissions reduction potential have received just 25% of climate tech investment since 2013.
"We have an enormous funding gap in Europe for climate tech" said Danijel Visevic, managing partner at World Fund. "Europe leads the world when it comes to climate R&D, yet only 10% of VC money invested in Europe goes to climate crisis fighting technology. This is the gulf between knowing what we need to do to solve the climate crisis, and having the ability to make meaningful, positive change. At World Fund, we take the view that financial returns - which drive decision making for the wider venture capital community - are now best sought out when you can guarantee a climate return. For the funding gap to narrow, we need others to join us in this fight, and to re-focus their efforts on climate returns."
The Fund Our Future collection is hosted on Pitch's presentation gallery, a dedicated public home for presentations.

New Delhi: In the first quarter (Q1) of calendar year (CY) 2022,
India added 456 megawatts (MW) of
rooftop solar capacity, a 13 per cent increase compared to the 402 MW installed in Q4 2021, according to a report released on Wednesday.
“In Q1 2022, rooftop solar accounted for 15 per cent of total solar installations. India's cumulative rooftop solar capacity was about 7.6 GW at the end of Q1 2022,” said the report titled
‘Mercom India Rooftop Solar Market Report Q1 2022’ by
Mercom India Research.
It said that during the quarter, 47 per cent of installations were in the industrial segment, followed by 29 per cent, 22 per cent, and 2 per cent in commercial, residential, and government segments.
“Rooftop installations have topped 400 MW for four quarters in a row, which is a first. Commercial and Industrial segments were again the driving force, accounting for most of the installations,” said
Raj Prabhu, CEO of
Mercom Capital Group.
He, however, added that the future growth was dependent on system costs.
According to the report, the average cost of a rooftop solar system increased 6 per cent in Q1 2022 compared to Q4 2021. The increase in average rooftop system cost was up 17 per cent y-o-y. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/renewable/india-added-456-mw-rooftop-solar-capacity-in-q1-2022-report/91944060 | 2022-06-01T12:46:11Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/renewable/india-added-456-mw-rooftop-solar-capacity-in-q1-2022-report/91944060 | false | 2 |
USD/JPY has unexpectedly surged higher over the past few sessions to negate its top and now looks as though it has completed a bullish continuation pattern. Thus, analysts at Credit Suisse expect the pair to move back quickly toward the 131.35 highs.
USD/JPY confirms a bullish “wedge” pattern
“USD/JPY now looks as though it has formed a clear bullish ‘wedge’ continuation pattern, which signals a quick move up to the 131.35 high, realigning the short-term setup with our long-term bullish view. Above here would open up 132.30/39 next and eventually our next core medium-term objective at 135.00/135.20.”
“Near-term support moves to 128.47/30. More important support is seen at the recent low at 126.39/37 and the 55-day average, which we now look to hold. Next important support below here is seen at the 125.11/124.87 pivot, which includes the 38.2% retracement of the rally from late February.”

In commemoration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, one of the GSM providers in Sierra Leone, Orange SL, on Monday,May 30, brought together young school girls and educated them on how to manage menstruation.
Orange and its development partners, including Rainbo Initiative, Prevention First, 4HER, Community of Practice celebrated the day with the theme 'Making menstruation a normal fact of life by 2030' and they also distributed reusable menstrual hygiene kits to over three hundred girls who attended the commemoration event.
Menstrual Hygiene Day is a global advocacy platform that brings together the voices and actions of various organisation and government agencies to promote good menstrual health for all women and girls.
The Day is commemorated on May 28th each year. 28 represent the average cycle and the fifth month being May represents the average number of days a girl/woman menstruates.
Priscilla Oke-Chuku, in her welcome statement at Orange Headquarters, IMATT, said the day was to celebrate women in all ramifications.
She said around the world, thousands of women, girls and people who menstruate live without access to the safe sanitary products they need. At least 500 million women and girls globally lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management, noting that inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, particularly in public places, such as in schools, workplaces or health centers, can pose a major obstacle to women and girls.
She said the lack of separate toilets for privacy, or the unavailability of means to dispose used sanitary pads and water to wash hands, means that women and girls face challenges in maintaining their menstrual hygiene in a private, safe and dignified manner.
She said a growing body of evidence shows that girls inability to manage their menstrual hygiene in schools, results in school absenteeism, which in turn, has severe economic costs on their education, lives and on the country.
She said the challenge menstruating girls and women faces was often less tangible than simply the availability of infrastructure, and was rooted in social norms and beliefs and in many cultures, menstruating women are considered impure and are systematically excluded from participating in every-day activities, such as education, employment, and cultural and religious practices.
She said the taboos and stigmas attached to menstruation lead to an overall culture of silence around the topic, resulting in limited information on menstruation and menstrual hygiene.
"Orange Foundation with other various NGO'S such as Rainbo Initiative, 4HER, Girl Child Network, Mama Pikin and others have partnered together to raise awareness on menstrual health and menstrual health management.Collectively, we aim to challenge the stigma surrounding period poverty and advocating for availability and accessibility of menstrual products and resources," she said.
She highlighted that their initiatives in this year would break the cultural taboos and end the discrimination surrounding menstruation, help ensure girls and boys receive proper education on puberty, including menstruation, help ensure that girls and women, including those living with disabilities, have safe and private spaces to manage menstruation at home, schools and public places.
Founder and Director of Prevention First Initiative, said menstrual hygiene is a fact, normal and its matters, noting that the May 28 celebration was first recognised in 2014 by WASH, a German non-governmental organisation, noting that the importance of the celebration is to make loud advocacy by organisations, government institutions to raise awareness about menstruation.
She said period poverty is when women and girls lack period kits and that stigma and shyness of girls about their menstrual period is also a major challenge to girls.
Founder of 4HER Initiative, Elizabeth Agatha Mousab said her organisation believes in women and girls and that is why they are doing working to improve them for a better world.
She said women and girls who are experiencing their menstrual are discriminated to the extent that they are considered unclean and they are not allowed to go the mosque or church.
Deputy Minister 2, of Basic and Senior Secondary School Education, Emily Kadiatu Gogra said she was happy to be part of such event, especially so when the event has to do with the promotion women are girls, noting that the event also promote and compliment the free and quality education initiative.
She said many girls missed over 48 days out of school due to menstrual which is why engaging and educating girls on how to manage menstruation I'd very important because it will help keep them in school even during the time they were experiencing menstrual.
She said many schools are lacking WASH facilities and that as a ministry they are working hard to ensure that every school has such facility, she also called on organisations to help construct WASH facilities especially in schools in the provinces. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206010531.html | 2022-06-01T12:56:22Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206010531.html | true | 2 |

Latest product lines address safety at the start by treating food, water and the preparation space for food
SINGAPORE, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, today launched KEEPER™ and OXINE™, two new antimicrobial and disinfection solutions from Kemin Food Technologies – Asia that use chlorine-dioxide-based technology to treat food, water and food contact surfaces, such as equipment and food preparation environments.
KEEPER and OXINE solutions are complimented by Kemin's patented activation and application systems, which are highly engineered to meet production and disinfection demands. Kemin Food Technologies – Asia debuts these new products during the month of June to align with the United Nations' World Food Safety Day on June 7. For more than two decades, Kemin has worked closely with the UN's World Food Programme, Kemin's largest global community partner.
Food safety has been an area of attention for consumers and the food industry. In response, authority bodies have enacted stricter scrutiny and greater pressure on food manufacturers regarding hygienically safe, consumable food products. In recent years, the selection of packaged food products, ranging from plant-based meat to ready-to-eat meals, has also grown. The burgeoning variety increases the options available to meet certain lifestyle needs, but the expanded offering can lead to new risks.
Across the entire farm-to-fork supply chain are many potential catalysts for food contamination, the source of many food recalls and the biggest known threat to profitability; the average cost of a recall to the food manufacturer is estimated at USD $10 million according to a study by the Food Marketing Institute and the Grocery Manufacturers Association1.
Ensuring food safety of finished goods begins with ingredients. KEEPER and OXINE are effective against various foodborne pathogens and help food manufacturers mitigate challenges to food safety with no residual—so taste and texture remain uncompromised. KEEPER and OXINE support the food industry with high-quality, efficacious solutions that help deliver safe food to consumers.
"As a strong advocate for food safety and part of the food supply chain, addressing market needs and contributing to food safety is paramount to Kemin, and why we want to be part of our customers' journeys to deliver high-quality and safe food to consumers' tables," said Joanne Tan, Senior Regional Marketing Manager, Kemin Food Technologies – Asia.
KEEPER and OXINE are recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization and are certified organic by Organic Materials Review Institute. The OXINE series is also recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

WIXOM, Mich. , June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMTI), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the treatment of iron deficiency and anemia management, today announced that it received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) on May 31, 2022 informing Rockwell Medical that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Consequently, Rockwell is now in compliance with all applicable listing standards and its common stock will continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
Rockwell Medical was previously notified by NASDAQ on June 11, 2021 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price rule because its common stock failed to meet the closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days. To regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days. This requirement was met on May 27, 2022, the eleventh consecutive trading day when the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was over $1.00.
Rockwell Medical is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing its next-generation parenteral iron technology platform, Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC), which has the potential to lead transformative treatments for iron deficiency in multiple disease states, reduce healthcare costs and improve patients' lives. The Company has two FDA-approved therapies indicated for patients undergoing hemodialysis, which are the first two products developed from the FPC platform. Rockwell Medical is also advancing its FPC platform by developing FPC for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients outside of dialysis, who are receiving intravenous medications in the home infusion setting. In addition, Rockwell Medical is one of two major suppliers of life-saving hemodialysis concentrate products to kidney dialysis clinics in the United States.

- The app's Men's Health Nutrition Score feature bundles specific macro and micronutrients together and gives users a percentage value for how they are hitting their targets based off their diet for that day.
- Normally behind a paywall, the feature will be made available for free for the month of June.
- To score 100%, users need to reach their recommended daily intake of all these nutrients. Going over the maximum threshold will also affect the score.
- Cronometer's Men's Health Nutrition Score highlights nutrients that men are typically lacking such as fiber, vitamin A, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium, and highlights men's higher protein needs.
REVELSTOKE, BC, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Studies have found that, despite advances in medical technology and research, men continue to live an average of 7 years less than women. Although there are numerous factors that play a part in this, research shows that proactive health behaviours such as nutrition tracking have a positive impact on health and well-being. A recent survey of Cronometer users found that 88% of men who use Cronometer report their activity levels to be lightly active to very active, with just 13% reporting they are sedentary compared to the U.S. national average of 25%. Additionally, the survey found that 78% of male Cronometer users are on track to reach or have reached their health goals. Cronometer aims to help educate men on the importance of nutrition and to be part of the preventative measures when it comes to health.
With the release of the latest Nutrition Scores, Cronometer notes that although significant progress has been made in medicine to enhance the lives of transgender people, the nutritional needs of this population remain largely unknown. Cronometer hopes to improve how the app serves this community and is asking anyone who identifies as transgender or non-binary to reach out to their team at research@cronometer.com to discuss how to better achieve this in their app.
About Cronometer Software Inc.: Cronometer is a free nutrition tracker with the most accurate and comprehensive nutrition database on the market. Cronometer was developed by CEO Aaron Davidson and what started as a personal side project, has transformed into a thriving business with over 5.5 million users. They are a proudly Canadian company with a head office based in the small mountain town of Revelstoke, British Columbia.

Smartphone cameras and DSLRs have been moving in opposite directions for the past few years, and image quality from phones will finally trump that of their single-lens reflex rivals by 2024, according to Sony.
As reported by Nikkei Japan (opens in new tab), the President and CEO of Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS), Terushi Shimizu, told a business briefing that "we expect that still images [from smartphones] will exceed the image quality of single-lens reflex cameras within the next few years".
Some fascinating slides (opens in new tab) presented during the briefing were even more specific, with one slide showing that, according to Sony, "still images are expected to exceed ILC [interchangeable lens camera] image quality" sometime during 2024.
Those are two slightly different claims, with 'ILCs' also including today's mirrorless cameras, alongside the older DSLR tech that most camera manufacturers are now largely abandoning.
But the broader conclusion remains – far from hitting a tech ceiling, smartphones are expected to continue their imaging evolution and, for most people, make standalone cameras redundant.
So what tech will drive this continued rise of the best phone cameras? Sony points to a few factors, including “quantum saturation” and improvements to "AI processing". Interestingly, Sony also expects the sensor size in "high-end model" phones to double by 2024.
The larger pixels on these sensors will, it says, allow phone makers to apply multi-frame processing that "realizes a new imaging experience", including improved Super HDR modes and zooms that combine folded optics (as on the Sony Xperia 1 IV) with AI algorithms.
Sony also highlighted the development of its 'two-layer transistor pixel technology', which we heard about last year, which promises to drastically improve the dynamic range on phone cameras and help reduce low-light noise.
Similar advances are coming for video too, according to Sony's presentation, with the higher read-out speeds of next-gen sensors supporting 8K video, multi-frame processing (including video HDR) and a general realization of "AI processing for video". In other words, computational video techniques like Apple's Cinematic Mode.
While it isn't unusual for Sony to make bold predictions about a sector it's heavily invested in, there does seem to be substance behind its predictions for the continued evolution of phone cameras at the expense of DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
And that's significant for all smartphones, because according to Statista (opens in new tab), Sony has 42% of the global image sensor market for phones, while teardowns of the iPhone 13 Pro Max show that it uses three Sony IMX 7-series sensors.
Analysis: Phones continue their meteoric rise
Predictions about the demise of DSLR cameras are nothing new – without saying anything explicitly, Canon and Nikon have both admitted that DSLRs are a legacy format by discontinuing some models, such as the Nikon D3500, without replacing them. But Sony's latest statements highlight that phone cameras still have a long way to go before they hit their tech ceiling.
The biggest advances in recent years have come in multi-frame processing, otherwise known as computational photography. But Sony was understandably keen to stress the role that new hardware will play in lifting phone cameras to new photographic heights.
Its prediction that the sensor sizes in high-end phones will double by 2024 is slightly surprising, given that this is limited by factors like lenses. For example, the Sony Xperia Pro-I became Sony's first phone to have a 1-inch sensor last year, but its lens wasn't able to project a large enough image circle to cover the whole of that sensor, so it could only take 12MP photos rather than the native 20MP resolution.
Perhaps more significant is Sony's new stacked CMOS sensor with two-layer transistor pixels, which effectively exposes each pixel to twice as much light as a standard sensor. This sounds like a hardware advance that computational algorithms could definitely get their teeth stuck into in order to boost dynamic range and noise performance.
But given how good the latest phones are at photography, the most noticeable advances over the next few years are likely to be in video. Sony's presentation highlighted this with references to multi-frame processing and its Edge AI platform, which promises to boost both video performance and support for augmented reality apps.
While DSLRs and mirrorless cameras will always have an audience among hobbyists and pros due to their handling, creative control, viewfinders and single-shot image quality, the kinds of advances outlined in Sony's presentation show that the next few years are going to be a particularly exciting time for phone cameras. | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/smartphones-will-kill-off-the-dslr-within-three-years-says-sony | 2022-06-01T13:05:10Z | https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/smartphones-will-kill-off-the-dslr-within-three-years-says-sony | true | 6 |
New fire safety laws aim to prevent another tragedy, like Bronx high-rise blaze that killed 17
NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams is set to sign new fire legislation into law Wednesday, in wake of the deadly blaze that killed 17 people in the Bronx.
The package of bills includes new laws requiring landlords to address any self-closing door violations within two weeks.
Landlords will no longer be able to certify any door repairs without approval from a city inspector, and the city would be required to reinspect buildings cited for a violation within 20 days.
Under the legislation, the sale of electric space heaters without certain safety features will be prohibited. These features include an automatic function that disables the device upon tip-over or overheating.
The January fire at the Twin Parks complex was caused by a malfunctioning space heater. All the doors in the building were supposed to be self-closing, but the apartment door where the fire started did not close, allowing the fire and smoke to spread.

True's cousin Chicago opted for a lilac Western 250 top, a black skirt and her father Kanye West's white Yeezys.
In an interview last year, Khloe spoke about how motherhood changed her priorities. Speaking to the Evening Standard in 2021, she said: "After having True I had to learn to balance my time more because when it comes to my baby, she is the most important person who deserves my attention.
"It was really just all about me learning to set more boundaries, manage my time, so I could still give her the attention she deserves."
She added: “When you’re pregnant, you start thinking about ways to better the world and yourself.
"I started caring about the environment more than ever before, and becoming a mum makes you really want the best for your children and the world they live in.”
Meanwhile, opening up on her love life, Khloe insisted that she doesn't feel lonely being a single mother, and is not looking for another man following her turbulent relationship with Tristan Thompson.
Speaking on the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat, she said: "I don't feel lonely. I don't want to date.
"I feel like I'm so busy with work. I'm so obsessed with my girl. Like I love being a mom, so I just am busy."
Khloe and True's father Tristan have had an on-and-off relationship but their most recent split came after it was revealed that Tristan had fathered a third child.
Opening up about Tristan's infidelity, she told Variety: “I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about.
“But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”

Pitch's new presentation collection for World Environment Day showcases over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling sustainability challenges
BERLIN, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pitch, the collaborative presentation platform for modern teams, today announced the launch of Fund Our Future, a new presentation collection compiled for World Environment Day 2022. With over 40 pitch decks from startups tackling a broad range of sustainability challenges, in sectors ranging from energy and agriculture to finance and fashion, the collection highlights the pressing need for more comprehensive investment in climate-oriented technologies.
"Reversing climate change is humanity's largest challenge, and humankind's biggest opportunity for innovation," said Christian Reber, founder and CEO of Pitch. "Founders in greentech are launching impactful products that solve global problems, and address a truly global market. It's critical that investors accelerate and diversify their approach to financing this space."
2021 was a record year for climate tech fundraising, with more than $40 billion raised. However, according to a recent report from PwC, the technologies that represent over 80% of future emissions reduction potential have received just 25% of climate tech investment since 2013.
"We have an enormous funding gap in Europe for climate tech" said Danijel Visevic, managing partner at World Fund. "Europe leads the world when it comes to climate R&D, yet only 10% of VC money invested in Europe goes to climate crisis fighting technology. This is the gulf between knowing what we need to do to solve the climate crisis, and having the ability to make meaningful, positive change. At World Fund, we take the view that financial returns - which drive decision making for the wider venture capital community - are now best sought out when you can guarantee a climate return. For the funding gap to narrow, we need others to join us in this fight, and to re-focus their efforts on climate returns."
The Fund Our Future collection is hosted on Pitch's presentation gallery, a dedicated public home for presentations.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hundreds of students walked out of class Tuesday and gathered in downtown Minneapolis to demand state legislators adopt tougher gun laws in the wake of last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
The Star Tribune reported the students walked out around 12:30 p.m. and gathered in Gold Medal Park. They demanded officials create a statewide advisory group made up of students and teachers from every school district in the state to discuss ways to reduce gun violence in schools.
They also want legislators to cut down on the number of active shooter drills required by state law. Right now schools must conduct at least five drills each year. Students insist the drills cause trauma and they want the state to require only two drills.
Other demands include funding for mental health counseling for every student in Minnesota and a ban on AR-15-style assault rifles.
Fridley High School junior Jean Rhodes says the school shooting was even more unnerving because it came less than two weeks after a white gunman killed 10 Black people in Buffalo, New York. She says students deserve to feel safe.
Students across the country have held similar walkouts over the Uvalde shootings. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Minnesota-students-walk-out-to-demand-gun-changes-17211708.php | 2022-06-01T13:13:00Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Minnesota-students-walk-out-to-demand-gun-changes-17211708.php | false | 22 |
When I hit a brewery taproom, I’m typically looking for three things: ample seating, a silky weiss beer with a long-lasting head, and... kombucha. That last one may come as a surprise to some brewery-goers; after all, I’m visiting a house of beer, not a Whole Foods. But I’m here to make an argument for kombucha as a taproom staple, regardless of the kind of beer your brewery is pouring up. Kombucha is light, refreshing, gut-friendly, and generally sober-friendly to boot. Hear ye, hear ye: We need more breweries with kombucha on tap.
Pro-Kombucha Point 1: It’s generally sober-friendly
Alcoholic kombucha is very cool, but when I ask for more kombucha in brewery taprooms, I’m generally referring to the non-alcoholic stuff. Of course, all kombucha contains a tiny hint of alcohol as a result of the natural fermentation process by which kombucha is produced. But kombucha is not designed to get you turnt. In fact, the average serving of kombucha contains less than 0.5% ABV—the same checkpoint for most non-alcoholic beers manufactured in the U.S.
Why does this matter? For one, non-drinkers (sober folks, pregnant folks, folks taking heavy-duty acne medication) deserve to enjoy delicious libations just as much as their boozing counterparts. It’s nice to have options beyond sodas and N/A beers.
Personally, the presence of kombucha makes me more likely to spend money at a brewery during the week. I’ll typically have a few drinks when the weekend rolls around, but I like to avoid alcohol during the week because it messes with my sleep. That said, I’m always looking for an after-work spot where I can write on my own time, and most of the coffee shops in my neighborhood close before five. (The one exception frequently hosts weeknight wizard trivia, which... no thank you.) If a brewery has kombucha on tap, I’m much more likely to stop by and spend my dollars on a weekday evening.
Pro-Kombucha Point 2: It’s refreshing
If you’re brewery-hopping, kombucha is a great way to take a break from all those hops. This is a good idea if you’d like to cleanse your palate, but it can also keep you from getting too terribly wild on a Saturday afternoon. It’s also full of gut-friendly bacteria, which is good news for those of us who get the Beer Grumblies. (If you know, you know.)
Brewers, hear me: Adding kombucha to your taproom lineup is a great way to collaborate with local booch brewers while making your taproom more enjoyable for all. Give the people the gut bacteria they deserve. | https://thetakeout.com/the-best-na-drink-for-breweries-to-offer-on-tap-1848997888 | 2022-06-01T13:14:13Z | https://thetakeout.com/the-best-na-drink-for-breweries-to-offer-on-tap-1848997888 | false | 1 |
Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced the presentation of new KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase injection) datasets on the primary endpoint results from the MIRROR randomized clinical trial and analyses of the pharmacokinetics of KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate. Additional presentations by Horizon during The+EULAR+2022+European+Congress+of+Rheumatology, June 1 – 4 in Copenhagen, include the exploratory findings from the PROTECT trial of KRYSTEXXA with immunomodulation in kidney transplant patients and the impact of chronic gout refractory to conventional therapies (uncontrolled gout).
“Substantial evidence shows KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate can change the course of care for patients,” said Theresa Podrebarac, M.D., MSc., senior vice president, clinical development, Horizon. “Results from the MIRROR randomized controlled trial reflects Horizon’s significant investment in the research and development of KRYSTEXXA to improve patient outcomes and show a clear increase in patient response rate and reduction in infusion reactions. This multi-year effort and collaboration with the medical community brings new hope to address the burden of disease for people living with uncontrolled gout.”
Month 6 results from MIRROR randomized controlled trial
The MIRROR randomized controlled trial outcomes provided a clear view of improvements in patient response and reductions in infusion reactions for KRYSTEXXA plus low-dose (15 mg/week) methotrexate compared to KRYSTEXXA plus placebo. Results from evaluation during Month 6 included:
- Patient response rate increased by greater than 32% (p<0.0001): response rate in the group randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate was 71.0% (71 of 100) of patients as compared to 38.5% (20 of 52) of patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo. As the primary endpoint, response rate was defined as serum uric acid (sUA) less than 6 mg/dL for more than 80% of the time during Weeks 20-24.
- Infusion reactions were significantly reduced: 4.2% (4 of 96) of patients who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate experienced an infusion reaction vs. 30.6% (15 of 49) of patients who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo.
- Complete resolution of at least one tophus improved by 20.8% (p=0.043): 34.6% (18 of 52) of patients who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate had complete resolution of at least one tophus at Week 24 vs. 13.8% (4 of 29) of patients who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo.
No new safety concerns were identified.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Study of Methotrexate to Increase Response Rates in Patients with Uncontrolled Gout Receiving Pegloticase (MIRROR RCT): 6-month efficacy and safety findings (OP0171,June 2, 11:35-11:45 am CEST, Auditorium 15)
“When we look at the results from the MIRROR randomized controlled trial in addition to the previous open label results and multiple in-practice case series, the evidence reinforces the use of KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate in treating patients with uncontrolled gout,” said study author and co-primary investigator John K. Botson, M.D., R.Ph., C.C.D., president, Alaska Rheumatology Alliance and rheumatologist, Orthopedic Physicians Alaska. “Given what we know about the impact of uncontrolled gout on joints, organs and its correlation to metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease, the urgency to address the underlying burden remains paramount. Results from this trial provide further insights for clinicians to consider in their approach for treating patients with uncontrolled gout.”
Pharmacokinetics of KRYSTEXXA and methotrexate polyglutamates
Systemic exposures of KRYSTEXXA and its immunogenicity in uncontrolled gout patients were evaluated during the MIRROR randomized controlled trial to determine methotrexate exposure in uncontrolled gout patients through Month 6 of treatment with KRYSTEXXA plus oral methotrexate (15 mg/week). Preinfusion blood samples were collected to measure methotrexate polyglutamates (MTX-PGs, including MTX-PG1-5) in red blood cells. Pre and postinfusion serum samples were also obtained to measure trough (Cmin) and peak (Cmax) concentrations of KRYSTEXXA, respectively, at multiple visits.
Overall, higher Cmax and Cmin of KRYSTEXXA were observed in patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate than in those randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo. Median (Q1, Q3) Cmax was 3.01 (1.94, 3.94) μg/mL for patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate and 2.66 (1.45, 3.20) μg/mL for those randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo. Improved KRYSTEXXA response was associated with higher concentrations of the medicine.
KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate reduced the incidence of new anti-PEG antibody formation. The proportion of subjects with an increase from baseline in anti-PEG Ab titers or who were negative at baseline and developed an anti-PEG Ab response at least one post-dose time point during KRYSTEXXA treatment through Month 6 was 23.2% (22 of 95) for patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate compared to 50.0% (24 of 48) for patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo.
Concentrations of MTX-PGs were maintained during the treatment course for patients randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate, suggesting compliance with methotrexate administration. In addition, MTX-PG concentrations were in the same range as those reported for low-dose oral methotrexate use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting no impact of KRYSTEXXA on methotrexate pharmacokinetics.
Pharmacokinetics of Pegloticase and Methotrexate Polyglutamate(s) in Patients with Uncontrolled Gout Receiving Pegloticase and Co-treatment with Methotrexate (Poster View 8, POS1163)
About MIRROR Randomized Controlled Trial
The combination of KRYSTEXXA with an immunomodulator like methotrexate has increasingly been employed for patients with uncontrolled gout to help reduce the development of antidrug antibodies, which can affect treatment efficacy with biologics.1,2 Following a series of community case studies3,4 and an open-label evaluation, the MIRROR randomized controlled trial (Methotrexate to Increase Response Rates in Patients with Uncontrolled Gout Receiving KRYSTEXXA trial, NCT03994731) was conducted. The trial evaluated differences in treatment response for KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate compared to KRYSTEXXA plus placebo. The primary endpoint was defined as the proportion of serum uric acid (sUA) responders defined as sUA <6 mg/dL at least 80% of the time during Month 6 (weeks 20 - 24). A total of 152 participants were randomized 2:1 to run-in and treatment periods with a low dose of oral methotrexate (15 mg/week) or placebo, followed by bi-weekly infusions of KRYSTEXXA (8 mg) with either methotrexate or placebo for 52 weeks. The trial demonstrated a 32.5-percentage point improvement (p<0.0001) in treatment response rate, with 71.0% of patients (71 of 100) who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate achieving a sustained urate-lowering response during Month 6, compared to 38.5% (20 of 52) of those randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo.
About KRYSTEXXA
INDICATION AND USAGE
KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase injection) is a PEGylated uric acid specific enzyme indicated for the treatment of chronic gout in adult patients refractory to conventional therapy.
Gout refractory to conventional therapy occurs in patients who have failed to normalize serum uric acid and whose signs and symptoms are inadequately controlled with xanthine oxidase inhibitors at the maximum medically appropriate dose or for whom these drugs are contraindicated.
Important Limitations of Use: KRYSTEXXA is not recommended for the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: ANAPHYLAXIS AND INFUSION REACTIONS
Anaphylaxis and infusion reactions have been reported to occur during and after administration of KRYSTEXXA. Anaphylaxis may occur with any infusion, including a first infusion, and generally manifests within 2 hours of the infusion. However, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported. KRYSTEXXA should be administered in healthcare settings and by healthcare providers prepared to manage anaphylaxis and infusion reactions. Patients should be premedicated with antihistamines and corticosteroids. Patients should be closely monitored for an appropriate period of time for anaphylaxis after administration of KRYSTEXXA. Serum uric acid levels should be monitored prior to infusions, and healthcare providers should consider discontinuing treatment if levels increase to above 6 mg/dL, particularly when 2 consecutive levels above 6 mg/dL are observed.
The risk of anaphylaxis and infusion reactions is higher in patients who have lost therapeutic response.
Concomitant use of KRYSTEXXA and oral urate-lowering agents may blunt the rise of sUA levels. Patients should discontinue oral urate-lowering agents and not institute therapy with oral urate-lowering agents while taking KRYSTEXXA.
In the event of anaphylaxis or infusion reaction, the infusion should be slowed, or stopped and restarted at a slower rate.
Patients should be informed of the symptoms and signs of anaphylaxis and instructed to seek immediate medical care should anaphylaxis occur after discharge from the healthcare setting.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: G6PD DEFICIENCY ASSOCIATED HEMOLYSIS AND METHEMOGLOBINEMIA
Patients should be screened for G6PD deficiency prior to starting KRYSTEXXA. Hemolysis and methemoglobinemia have been reported with KRYSTEXXA in patients with G6PD deficiency. KRYSTEXXA should not be administered to these patients.
GOUT FLARES
An increase in gout flares is frequently observed upon initiation of anti-hyperuricemic therapy, including treatment with KRYSTEXXA. If a gout flare occurs during treatment, KRYSTEXXA need not be discontinued. Gout flare prophylaxis with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or colchicine is recommended starting at least 1 week before initiation of KRYSTEXXA therapy and lasting at least 6 months, unless medically contraindicated or not tolerated.
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
KRYSTEXXA has not been studied in patients with congestive heart failure, but some patients in the clinical trials experienced exacerbation. Caution should be exercised when using KRYSTEXXA in patients who have congestive heart failure, and patients should be monitored closely following infusion.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in clinical trials with KRYSTEXXA were gout flares, infusion reactions, nausea, contusion or ecchymosis, nasopharyngitis, constipation, chest pain, anaphylaxis and vomiting.

BEIJING (AP) — A magnitude 6.1 earthquake damaged houses and killed at least one person in southwestern China on Wednesday, authorities and state media said.
There were varying initial reports of casualties. State broadcaster CCTV said one person died and six others were injured, including one seriously, in Baoxing county in Sichuan province. Other state media said three people were seriously injured.
The quake struck at a depth of 17 kilometers (10 miles) in Lushan county, about 110 kilometers (65 miles) southwest of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, the China Earthquake Network Center said.
The Sichuan fire department said some houses were damaged and more than 1,400 rescuers were headed to the area. The Southwest Railway Authority said some sections of track were closed, causing delays to passenger trains.
China’s deadliest earthquake in recent years was a 7.9 magnitude quake in 2008 that killed nearly 90,000 people in Sichuan.

Rwanda Foreign Ministry on Wednesday said the country will retaliate if it suffers further attacks from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta told reporters after accusing Congo of firing shells across the border in May.
“If attacks continue we will not sit idly by, Rwanda will have the right to respond to protect the security of the country, to protect the security of its citizens and we have the means to do that.’’
Congo summoned Rwanda’s ambassador and suspended RwandAir flights to Congo over the weekend in response to what it said was Kigali’s support for M23 rebels carrying out a military offensive in its eastern borderlands.
Rwanda denies the claims and has in turn accused Congo’s army of fighting alongside the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group founded by ethnic Hutus who fled Rwanda after participating in the 1994 genocide.
Biruta said FDLR fighters were among the ranks of Congo’s army when their shells allegedly destroyed houses and injured people on the Rwandan side of the border.
Congo government spokesman Patrick Muyaya told Reuters that “their discourse on the FDLR no longer makes sense.’’
“They cannot say that they are victims of the FDLR. The FDLR are killing our people, not the Rwandan people; it is we who suffer.
The clashes threaten to unravel relations between the two countries, which had improved since Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi came to power three years ago.
The M23 insurgency stems from the long fallout from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/rwanda-will-fight-back-if-congo-attacks-says-minister/ | 2022-06-01T13:22:41Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/rwanda-will-fight-back-if-congo-attacks-says-minister/ | true | 3 |
In February, there was a huge operation against money laundering and drugs trafficking. Operation Casino, which was centred on Mallorca, involved the Guardia Civil and National Police as well as a number of European police forces and the FBI.
Osmani's lawyer, Jaime Campaner, told the court that having had access to the file, which had remained secret for almost four years, "there was no evidence" against his client and so requested his release on bail.
Kosovar Bashkim Osmani came to Mallorca in 1999. He bought the Ritzi de Portals restaurant, which at that time had another name. He then bought an apartment in the area and later commissioned the building of a five million euro mansion in Camp de Mar. In 2018, the Guardia Civil opened a thorough investigation into Osmani and his alleged criminal organisation.
Some 600 police took part in Operation Casino. Osmani was traced to a hotel he owns in Croatia. He was arrested by Croatian police and extradited to Spain - to Mallorca, specifically, Investigators maintain that his network moved huge amounts of cocaine between South America and Europe and laundered the proceeds. | https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2022/06/01/101903/mallorca-courts-alleged-mafia-boss-released-bail.html | 2022-06-01T13:25:49Z | https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2022/06/01/101903/mallorca-courts-alleged-mafia-boss-released-bail.html | true | 1 |
Thug Scots footballer Paul Tansey has contract scrapped over campaign of domestic abuse
THUG footballer Paul Tansey has been ditched by his club over domestic abuse towards his partner.
Paul Tansey, 37, attacked Scotland international Lisa Robertson during a brutal 10-month long ordeal.
Tansey, from Dalkeith, Midlothian, pled guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last week to assaulting Lisa, 30, after he turned up at her home in a jealous rage and smashed her door.
The offences, which included monitoring her phone, pestering her, insulting her and threatening suicide when she dumped him, happened between July 2020 and May 2021.
Tansey, the brother of former Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths, was described by a source as a "jealous, twisted, nasty piece of work".
He has now had his contract with junior side Penicuik Athletic scrapped.
The East of Scotland Football league outfit confirmed yesterday that his contract has been "terminated with immediate effect".
A statement from the club read: "Penicuik Athletic can confirm that following the publication of several news articles on Friday in relation to Paul Tansey, discussions have taken place between both parties & his contract will be terminated with immediate effect.
"The club shall make no further comment."
Tansey, a B&M shelf-stacker, was arrested last May after he turned up at Lisa’s home in Edinburgh despite the footballer - who is also a painter by trade - making it crystal clear the relationship was over.
Most read in Scottish News
The source said: “Lisa told him she had proof he was seeing another girl - and shortly afterwards, he turned up uninvited.
“He kicked both lower panels of the door to bits and when Lisa opened the door, he headbutted her.
“At that point several neighbours came out and saw the immediate aftermath after hearing the commotion.”
Tansey fled - leaving Lisa with a black eye - but then subjected her to hundreds of unanswered calls the following day.
The pair began dating before lockdown in 2019 - but things changed between the couple when restrictions eased at the beginning of July 2020.
The source said Tansey would make Lisa feel sorry for him to keep her under his control - even going as far as threatening suicide.
Tansey's sentencing was deferred until next month.

PARIS (AP) — Amelie Mauresmo, a former No. 1 player who is in her first year as the French Open's first female tournament director, said Wednesday that nine of the 10 night sessions at Roland Garros involved men's matches because women’s tennis currently has less “appeal.”
Speaking at the traditional second-week news conference to recap the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, Mauresmo said she tried on a daily basis to find a women’s pairing that had the star power or a matchup worthy of being highlighted in the separate session that began at 8:45 p.m. local time in Court Philippe Chatrier.
“I admit it was tough,” said Mauresmo, a 42-year-old from France who first topped the WTA rankings in 2004 and returned to that spot after winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2006.
Her last major tournament was the 2009 U.S. Open. After retiring as a player, Mauresmo moved into coaching and worked with Andy Murray, Lucas Pouille and Marion Bartoli, among others, and was France's captain for the team competition now called the Billie Jean King Cup.
This year's French Open began on May 22 and will end on Sunday. The last of the 10 night sessions was scheduled for Wednesday, and the only women’s match that got the prime-time treatment — part of a deal with a streaming service — was France’s Alizé Cornet’s victory over Jelena Ostapenko in the second round.
Asked about that decision-making process, Mauresmo said in French that having just one match in each night session made it “more difficult to have” that be only a women's match. Night sessions at the U.S. Open, for example, usually include one women's match and one men's match.
“In this era that we are in right now, I don't feel — and as a woman, former women's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying that, right now — you have more ... appeal," Mauresmo said. "That's the general (reasons) for the men's matches.”
She added: “My goal was, when I was doing the schedule every day, to try and see, from the first round, when the draw came out ... ‘what match in the woman’s draw can I put there?' honestly.”
Her session with reporters was held the morning after 13-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal's 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) quarterfinal victory over defending champion Novak Djokovic in Tuesday's night session. The match lasted 4 hours, 12 minutes and finished after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, leaving some of the 15,000 or so spectators unable to use public transportation to get home.
“That’s actually a key issue that needs to be settled, and that will be one of our priorities in the future,” Mauresmo said. “We haven’t planned anything yet, but obviously we need to organize ourselves differently with the Department of Transport of Paris with bus systems, with the underground system. If we continue with these night sessions in this direction, people need to leave the stadium late enough and make sure that they have a way to come back home, as they should.”
Nadal, through the media, and his manager, Carlos Costa, directly with Mauresmo, made clear the owner of 21 Grand Slam titles preferred not to play at night, because of the way the cooler temperatures affect his shots. It dropped below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) during his quarterfinal.
Asked about that, Mauresmo deflected the question and replied: “Rafa has shown us how big a champion he is, far and beyond all these considerations.”

repercussions of Dustin Johnson’s decision to split To the Saudi-backed LIV tour on Tuesday evening it started quickly.
RBC (Royal Bank of Canada), one of Johnson’s most popular sponsors, released a statement that hinted that they are cutting ties with the 2020 Masters champion.
“RBC is a proud partner of the PGA Tour. Our partnership is underpinned by two world golf tournaments – the RBC Heritage and the RBC Canadian Open.” The PGA Tour has been clear about its intentions under its own tournament regulations if a golfer chooses to play in an off-tour tournament, including the LIV Series Golf Invitational.
“We recently learned that Dustin Johnson has made the decision to play the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series. DJ has been a valued member of the RBC team since 2018. While we are deeply disappointed in his decision, we wish him well.”
The PGA Tour threatened players with possible suspension or even banishment as penalties for playing in LIV events. Johnson’s decision will put those threats to the test, given his high profile in the sport.
Johnson’s LIV Golf Invitational, the first event of the new PGA Tour competitor, will headline the Johnson LIV Golf Invitational event. It will take place at the Centurion Club in London from June 9-11. Luis Oosthuizen and Sergio Garcia were among the other big names listed on the 42-man stadium, which did not include Phil Mickelson, despite the event He is expected to add six more players.
Mickelson was dismissed Since he made comments threatening to use the Saudi-backed tour as leverage against the PGA Tour.
However, Johnson’s name is the biggest and most shocking of all by Greg Norman – the Australian golf legend who became the face of the LIV Tour.
“Dustin has been thinking about this for the past two years and has decided it was in the best interest of him and his family to pursue it. He has had no problem with the PGA Tour and is grateful for everything he has given him but in the end he felt that this was too compelling to be true,” Johnson’s agent David Winkle said in a statement. can be missed.” | https://www.southsudannewsagency.org/very-disappointed-sponsor-hints-hes-over-with-dustin-johnson/ | 2022-06-01T13:41:09Z | https://www.southsudannewsagency.org/very-disappointed-sponsor-hints-hes-over-with-dustin-johnson/ | true | 1 |

The Match 2022: Brady and Rodgers vs Mahomes and Allen — how to watch all-quarterback golf showdown
By Jack Bantock and Andy Scholes, CNN
There may be another 100 days to go until the start of the NFL season, but fans will still be able to get their football fix on Wednesday when four of the league’s top quarterbacks swap the gridiron for the golf course.
Featuring four of the past five years’ MVPs, the sixth edition of “the Match” will see veteran signal-callers Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers face off against young stars Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in Las Vegas.
Set to tee off at 6:30 p.m. ET, the 12-hole event at Wynn Golf Club will see all players equipped with open mics and the ability to communicate with competitors and commentators, a tradition with potentially devastating consequences for this year’s iteration.
The trash talking between the two sets of teams began immediately after the line-up was announced in April, with Allen stoking the fire by tweeting that the match-up would be between “old bulls” and “young calves.”
Seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady jabbed back immediately at the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 18 years his junior, with the teams’ back-and-forth continuing all the way to the eve of the showdown.
“We’re going be in their heads and we’re going to force them to hit a couple shanks and miss a couple putts, I guarantee that,” Allen said.
“Once Tom’s script from his team runs out of jokes, I don’t think he’s going to be able to think on his feet like that.”
Fighting talk
Allen’s partner, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Mahomes, believes that the pair’s friendship gives them the edge over their older foes.
Barring a practice round, the young duo have never played golf together, but trips to the Masters together have helped build a chemistry that could prove decisive in a high-stakes clash.
“If we lose to those guys, they will never let us live it down,” Mahomes told CNN Sport’s Andy Scholes.
“It’s going to be me and Josh just being ourselves. If we’re out anywhere, we’re talking trash no matter what the sport is and having some fun.
“So we’re going to go ahead and beat the two big heavyweights, as they would say, and I’m sure they’ll want a rematch after tomorrow.”
A combined 82 years of life experience for Brady and Rodgers has shone through in the older pair’s fighting talk, with three-time MVP Rodgers dismissing any notion of “a couple of old school grizzled vets” being bested in a war of words.
On their own
Playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau, the Green Bay Packers signal caller was victorious in last year’s edition of the event against Brady and Phil Mickelson.
Having suffered defeat in his previous two appearances at “The Match,” Brady is coming out swinging.
“Josh really hasn’t backed much up on the football field in his career, let’s be honest,” the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback quipped. “Especially playing against me.”
However, Brady admitted to some apprehension ahead of tee-off, with this year’s event the first time that no professional golfers will be involved. It will also be the first time that fans will be in attendance.
“I said ‘Are there caddies out there? Is there anyone that can help us?'” Brady joked. “They [the organizers] were like ‘Nope, you guys are totally on your own.’
“So we’re going be reading each other’s putts. I don’t know if that’s a good thing.”
Even the ‘Grim Reaper’ Mahomes isn’t immune to some pre-tee nerves but believes he has learned from his experiences at the star-studded American Century Championship golf tournament, which he played in at South Lake Tahoe in July 2020.
“I think I’ll be a tad nervous on that first tee,” Mahomes told Scholes. “But once you hit that first drive and you get out there with the guys, you’ll be ready to go.
“I remember at Tahoe, the first one I played out there, I was very nervous and it kind of kept me tight, so I’m gonna try to be loose and go out there and have some fun.”
How to watch
“The Match” will be televised exclusively by TNT, with coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET from Wynn Las Vegas.
Turner Sports will be televising “The Match” for the sixth time since the event’s inception in 2018.
CNN is a division of Warner Bros. Discovery, along with HBO, Warner Bros, TNT, TBS and other media assets.

The brand earned the designation with the creation of the first and only FDA approved over-the-counter, clean hydrocolloid acne patch
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Peace Out Skincare, a cult-favorite and leader in innovative skincare treatments, today announced the brand is now "Clean at Sephora" thanks to its creation of the first-ever clean, FDA approved over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocolloid acne patch.
Peace Out realized its longtime mission to be a fully clean skincare brand by reformulating hydrocolloid and, by doing so, creating the first-ever clean patch on the market. Hydrocolloid polymer technology, found in Peace Out's award-winning and patented acne dots and pore strips, helps extract impurities and guards against skin irritation by creating a breathable barrier for optimal healing conditions. Founder and CEO Enrico Frezza worked for more than two years with his expert research and development team to reformulate hydrocolloid ensuring Peace Out's hero products of acne dots and pore strips are clean for consumers. This innovative technology has earned the brand Sephora's clean seal of approval, the retailer's designation that signals to consumers which products meet specific criteria around transparency, formulation and ingredients.
"I am excited to finally say that Peace Out is a 100% clean skincare brand," said Enrico Frezza, founder and CEO, Peace Out Skincare. "Creating clean skincare products has always been very important to me and our brand. At Peace Out, our mission is to create products that perform at the highest level without jeopardizing skin health. For this reason, we spent countless hours reformulating this product and are ecstatic to share the only clean and OTC hydrocolloid acne patch on the market with our customers."
Peace Out's products had always used clean formulations with the exception of hydrocolloid, which is, by industry standards, made with mineral oil, cosmetic grade versions of which are safe to use but derived from non-renewable resources. Frezza and team developed a version of hydrocolloid without the mineral oil but then had to ensure it was as effective as the original. Peace Out put the new hydrocolloid through the paces, including a blind comparative test. The results showed the new formulation could actually be more effective than the original.
This patent-pending, first-of-its-kind technology is the latest innovation from Peace Out, joining Dark Spots Serum, which launched last month. The brand continues its mission to help consumers bring peace to their skin through easy to use clean, effective, and fun skincare solutions. Peace Out's innovations have already been awarded patents for Wrinkles and for Pores while also receiving a patent for Acne Dots in Canada. The brand also has five other patents pending.
"I am very proud of our teams and Peace Out for pushing the boundaries of skincare to create the best products for our customers," continued Frezza. "We cannot wait to see the reaction to the new, clean formulations and are excited to continue innovating and growing as a brand while listening to what is important to our consumers."
Peace Out Skincare is sold in Sephora locations around the world as well as on PeaceOutSkincare.com and Sephora.com.
Peace Out was made by real people who tried everything to get rid of their skin imperfections. Frustrated with breakouts and poor results, they set out to create something that really works. Peace Out easy one-step solutions combine active ingredients with innovative technology so you can stop thinking about your skin and start feeling great.

Elon Musk has once again shown his not-so-good side by sparring with Jackson Palmer, one of the creators of the cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, Business Insider reported. In his tirade on Twitter, Musk even went on to say that his kids "wrote better code when they were 12" than what Jackson had sent to him back in 2018.
For the uninitiated, Jackson Palmer is a software engineer at Adobe, but he is popular as one of the creators of the meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. About a decade ago, Palmer was joking about the speculation in cryptocurrencies and suggested that a dog coin be created. He even bought the domain name dogecoin.com, after the former IBM engineer Bill Markus got in touch with him.
The duo, who had never met before, set about writing a program for the meme cryptocurrency and launched it in December 2013. Fast forward to the present day, Dogecoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies and has found a fan in none other than Elon Musk, the world's richest person. Musk has often tweeted about Dogecoin, and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, accept this meme coin as a valid payment option for their merchandise.
What is Elon Musk angry about?
Musk's anger stems from the comments Palmer made to an Australian news site, Crikey. While speaking about the ills of cryptocurrency, Palmer mentioned that he had written a script for a bot that could pick up crypto scams on Twitter and shared it with influencers like Elon Musk and Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey.
During the exchange about this bot, Palmer also revealed that he realized that Musk didn't quite understand coding as he projects and even asked Palmer, "How do I run this Python script?", Crikey said in its report.
Palmer called Musk a "grifter" and said that the latter is simply good at pretending that he knows. He also cited the example of Tesla's full self-driving promise, a vision that Musk has been promoting in the hope that he will deliver it someday.
What happened next?
When Crikey published the interview on their Twitter handle, they did not tag Musk. However, a day later, the Tesla CEO swooped down on the post and attacked Palmer by saying that his script was lame and challenged him to share it with the world.
Palmer complied and shared the link to the short snippet of code he had already posted to the public repository, GitHub, four years ago. Then, Musk tweeted.
My kids wrote better code when they were 12 than the nonsense script Jackson sent me.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 31, 2022
Like I said, if it’s so great, he should share it with the world and make everyone’s experience with Twitter better. If he does, you will see what I mean.
Jackson Palmer is a tool.
In another tweet, Musk also said that Palmer forgot to mention that he hasn't written the code for Dogecoin, something that co-creator of the currency, Bill Markus agreed with.
the people after us did exponentially more than either jackson or i did on the code base
— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) May 31, 2022
i think i wrote like 20 lines of code and copied the rest 🤣
Both Markus and Palmer have moved away from Dogecoin and are no longer involved in the project. While Markus has followed the path of non-fungible tokens, Palmer has been warning the world about the ills of cryptocurrency while continuing to work at Adobe. | https://interestingengineering.com/musk-dogecoin-creator-coding-quarrel | 2022-06-01T13:51:00Z | https://interestingengineering.com/musk-dogecoin-creator-coding-quarrel | true | 1 |

PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron and government members said they are “sad and sorry” for 2,700 Liverpool fans who had a ticket but couldn't get into the stadium amid disorder and chaos at the Champions League final in Paris, where Liverpool lost to Real Madrid 1-0.
The issue has been discussed at the weekly Cabinet meeting at the Elysee presidential palace on Wednesday, French government spokesperson Olivia Grégoire said.
“Could we have done things better or could it have been better handled? Yes,” she told reporters. “Can we improve things, especially in view of the future sports events? Certainly.”
Saturday’s events prompted concerns in France and abroad as the country is set to host the Rugby World Cup next year and the 2024 Olympics.
Liverpool fans’ leadership groups complained about heavy-handed policing and poor organization on a troubling night that saw children and elderly people among those getting sprayed by tear gas.
The French Football Federation (FFF) said in a statement that 35,000 people without tickets or with “fake” tickets made their way to the Stade de France. They created disorder by blocking access to the stadium and preventing fans who had real tickets from getting into the stadium, the statement said.
European soccer’s governing body, UEFA, has also started to gather evidence about issues outside the Stade de France that marred one of the world’s biggest games in sports.
Grégoire expressed sympathy for 2,700 Liverpool fans, “fathers, mothers with their children disgusted they couldn’t attend a sports event they were waiting for. The President of the Republic and all the government were sad and sorry for these people.”
Grégoire said that interior and sports ministers will provide further details as they answer questions at a Senate’s commission on Wednesday afternoon.

RALEIGH — North Carolina State guard Terquavion Smith is returning for his sophomore season after going through the NBA draft process.
The 6-foot-4 sophomore participated in the league draft combine in Chicago earlier this month and was considered a potential first-round prospect. But Smith posted a video to social media Tuesday announcing his plan to return, saying: “The job’s not done. Let’s get to work.”
ESPN, which first reported Smith’s decision, had Smith ranked 22nd among draft prospects after he averaged 16.3 points and shot 37% from 3-point range. He was second in the Atlantic Coast Conference in freshman scoring behind only Duke’s Paolo Banchero, a candidate to go No. 1 overall.
Smith’s biggest game had him scoring 34 points in a loss at rival North Carolina in January, marking the No. 2 total by a freshman in program history.
N.C. State is still awaiting a decision from 6-7 sophomore wing and leading scorer Dereon Seabron, who also participated in the draft combine. Players have until the NCAA’s deadline Wednesday night to decide whether they’re returning to school or staying in the draft. | https://www.bladenjournal.com/sports/43552/smith-returning-to-nc-state-instead-of-staying-in-nba-draft | 2022-06-01T14:01:52Z | https://www.bladenjournal.com/sports/43552/smith-returning-to-nc-state-instead-of-staying-in-nba-draft | false | 7 |

Officials at Da Afghanistan Bank, the country’s central bank, announced Wednesday that nearly $900 million in humanitarian cash aid has been sent to Afghanistan since the collapse of the former government.
According to Bakhtar News Agency, Mohammad Saber Momand, a spokesman for Da Afghanistan Bank, said: “Thanks to the series of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, 30 cash packages have reached the country so far, totaling 889 million and 600 thousand US dollars.”
Momand said the bank has welcomed the move to help boost the banking sector but that officials have called on the international community to engage, cooperate and help the Afghan people in other areas as well.
Momand said that delivering humanitarian aid through the banking sector will create transparency and provide more facilities for delivering assistance to the people.
He also stressed that the arrival of foreign currency in the form of cash aid to Afghanistan has a significant impact on the AFN exchange rate and the stability of its value.
Two days ago, the central auctioned $12.5 million to improve the AFN’s value, rendering it at 88.85 Afghanis to the dollar.

IEA stops coal trucks through Torkham to speed up fresh fruit exports
The Ministry of Finance of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) on Monday banned the movement of coal trucks through Torkham customs so as to ease traffic through the border crossing for trucks carrying fresh fruit.
According to a directive of the Ministry of Finance, coal trucks will no longer be allowed to pass through Torkham customs and will have to use alternate routes.
The move was taken to avoid spoilage of fresh fruits and traffic congestion on highway, the ministry said.
“Due to the fresh fruit season in Afghanistan and large quantities of fresh fruit being exported through Torkham customs, drivers of coal trucks have to export though Paktia, Paktika and Khost customs to avoid spoilage of these fruits and traffic congestion,” read the ministry’s statement.
Afghanistan has long yielded a wide variety of fruit and exports a huge amount to Pakistan every year.
So far in Afghanistan, ten types of apples, ten types of pomegranates, about 24 types of apricots, 18 types of grapes, about 15 types of cherries and 19 types of peaches have been identified in the country.
This comes after the IEA government said it has increased coal exports to Pakistan.
The IEA government, which is not recognized by the international community and cannot obtain foreign funding, has also increased its tax on coal exports, Deutsche Welle reported.
“Coal exports have increased because we have paved the way for traders,” Ahmad Wali Haqmal, a spokesman for the IEA’s finance ministry, told Reuters.
He added that 16 billion afghanis worth of coal had been exported from Afghanistan in the past six months, with three billion afghanis (about $33 million) coming from customs.
According to Deutsche Welle, Pakistani officials have not yet commented. But government sources say coal imports from Afghanistan have increased and up to 500,000 tonnes of coal may be purchased monthly from the neighboring country.
Pakistan currently imports about three-quarters of its coal from South Africa.
Last week Mansoor Ahmad Khan, ambassador of Pakistan to Afghanistan, said in a tweet that he met with Haji Muhammad Rasool Totakhel the President of the Coal Union of Afghanistan to resolve logistic problems in transporting coal from Afghanistan to Pakistan.
“This is important for promoting trade and connectivity,” Mansoor Ahmad Khan tweeted.

Coal sector generates over 3 billion Afghanis in three months for national treasury
The Ministry of Finance says that since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) came into power, exports of coal have increased significantly.
According to a ministry spokesman, 16 billion Afghanis worth of coal has been exported in the past six months, with more than three billion Afghanis having flowed into government treasury.
A ministry spokesman said coal is an important source of revenue and that the ministry does prioritize this sector.
“In the last six months, we have earned more than three billion Afghanis from coal exports, and we want to make it easier to have more revenue in this area,” said Ahmad Wali Haqmal, a spokesman for the Ministry of Finance.
The Ministry of Finance has also provided facilities for the export of coal at customs offices. Some members of the private sector say that national traders are also interested in investing in the sector and in coal-generated power.
“Our country’s investors are trying to invest in coal energy production, and we have a high capacity in this sector and we have measures for that,” said Shirbaz Kaminzada, head of the Chamber of Industries and Mines.
According to economists in Afghanistan, there are many areas for investment in energy production, and if the Islamic Emirate can attract investors, Afghanistan will soon enter a new phase of economic growth.

IEA signs agreement with UAE to manage Afghanistan’s airports
A contract for the regulation and management of the country’s four airports was signed with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday, the Afghan Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA) said.
The agreement was signed between Hamidullah Akhundzada, acting head of the Ministry of Transport and Aviation, and Razzaq Aslam, CEO of GAAC, a UAE based consortium with specialist expertise in airport management.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Khairullah Khairkhowa, Acting Minister of Information and Culture, and other government officials attended the signing event.
The agreement comes as Turkey and Qatar have been negotiating with Islamic Emirate officials for months to manage Afghanistan’s international airfields, however, the negotiations stalled when the IEA opposed requests for foreign forces to secure the airports.
The airports involved are Kabul, Herat and Kandahar.
The company will be responsible for unloading and loading of planes after landing and before takeoff.
At the signing ceremony, the First Deputy Prime Minister called on international investors to invest in Afghanistan, and said the Islamic Emirate is committed to providing them with the necessary investment opportunities.
At the signing ceremony of the contract, the First Deputy PM Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar said that the IEA is working hard to strengthen the country’s economy.
“With this contract, all international airlines will start their flights to Afghanistan in a safe and reliable environment, and it will help us to increase trading and business with other countries,” Baradar said.
Ministry of Transport officials say the company will provide ground-based services in line with international standards, leading to an increase in international flights.
However, the Deputy Prime Minister says that flights into and out of Kabul will soon increase and Afghanistan’s revenue will increase through air corridors.

Already reeling from skyrocketing national inflation, Connecticut consumers face a one-two punch beginning July 1 that threatens to make groceries and other basic goods even more expensive.
The Department of Revenue Services is expected within the next two weeks to announce a major increase in the state’s diesel tax, effective July 1 and driven by wholesale fuel prices that have more than doubled over the past year.
And six months after that, the state will impose a new highway use tax on large commercial trucks that’s expected to cost the industry $90 million per year — an expense companies already have said will be passed onto Connecticut shoppers.
“It’s going to tax Connecticut consumers at a point where they can least afford it,” said DataCore Partners economist Donald Klepper-Smith, who was the state’s chief economic advisor in the late 2000s under Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
The diesel tax hike stems from an annual adjustment the legislature established in 2007. When Gov. Ned Lamont proposed the highway use tax in February 2021 to support the state’s transportation construction program, the Consumer Price Index showed low inflation of 1.4%.
Those moves were “not unreasonable” when made, “but the timing is going to be brutal” when they strike consumers, said University of Connecticut economist Fred V. Carstensen. “Transportation costs are embedded in everything we buy. … This is the one [tax] you can’t escape.”
Big diesel fuel tax increase due on July 1
The diesel fuel that powers most trucks is taxed by the state following an annual formula that includes a fixed base and an adjustment that looks at average wholesale diesel prices over the prior year, as well as the tax rate applied to wholesale gasoline transactions.
Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration, which must announce the new rate by June 15, hasn’t done so yet. But the key variable — the wholesale price of diesel — is not looking good.
Wholesale diesel prices at New Haven harbor hovered around $2.23 per gallon during the first week of July 2021, according to the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association.
By mid-May 2022, the wholesale price of diesel was about $4.79 per gallon. The AAA reported an average retail price for diesel of nearly $6.24 per gallon on Tuesday.
The diesel tax, which currently stands at 40.1 cents per gallon, has been as high over the past five years as 46.5 cents — where it stood in 2019. Industry experts say the latest conditions could produce a tax hike of more than 10 cents per gallon, if wholesale prices remain on the rise.
“We fully expect a significant increase in what the tax will look like,” said Chris Herb, president and CEO of the marketers association, who added that the late February Russian invasion of Ukraine only pushed escalating oil prices even higher. “We’re surging into the [diesel tax] recalculation.”
“We call it the perfect storm when you have these types of situations,” said Michael Fox, executive director of the Connecticut-based Gasoline & Automotive Service Dealers of America, commonly known as GASDA.
The association, which represents roughly 500 gas stations in Connecticut, is bracing for a diesel tax hike that could have “a huge negative impact on deliveries into our state,” Fox said.
Diesel tax increase will find a way to consumers
Don’t look for Connecticut’s trucking companies or supermarkets to absorb those added fuel costs. Both industries already are struggling with staffing shortages worsened by the coronavirus pandemic.
John Pruchnicki, co-owner of Coastal Carriers of Connecticut, a small trucking company in Ansonia, says he’s been forced to turn down business because of a lack of drivers.
“I’m always short 10 to 15 % [on staff] on a regular basis,” he said.
At times, during the worst of the pandemic, two or three drivers would be unavailable each week because of illness or the need to quarantine.
“A lot of people have reevaluated their life” since then, Pruchnicki added.
Connecticut’s supermarkets and grocery stores also are grappling with low staffing, as well as rising wholesale costs for beef, pork and other staples, said Wayne Pesce, president of the Connecticut Food Association.
“We’re spiraling right here,” said Pesce, whose association represents about 250 stores. “That tax on diesel fuel is going to hurt. It gets passed right on.”
But that’s just the first hit household budgets face.
Highway use tax adds $90 million to annual trucking costs
The second one comes Jan. 1, when a highway use tax begins on large commercial trucks, excluding dairy vehicles. Per-mile rates, based on a vehicle’s weight, range from 2.5 cents to 17.5 cents.
Joe Sculley, president of the Motor Transport Association of Connecticut, said the impact will be more severe than that of the diesel tax hike.
The entire diesel tax — not just one rate increase — generated about $115 million in each of the previous two fiscal years, according to the revenue services department’s annual report.
The legislature’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis estimates this new highway use will generate $90 million annually.
“It’s going to make things more expensive in Connecticut,” added Sculley, whose organization represents more than 500 trucking and trucking-related businesses. "I don’t see how anyone could dispute that.”
Spiking fuel costs becoming a campaign issue
Herb, Sculley and Fox all are urging Lamont and the legislature to call a special session this summer or fall to suspend the diesel tax hike and repeal the highway use fee.
Rep. Holly Cheeseman of East Lyme, ranking House Republican on the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, said the GOP minority in both chambers backed both options earlier this spring before the regular 2022 General Assembly session adjourned on May 4.
And though debates about truck mileage taxes and diesel fuel can seem dry and technical, they boil down to extra costs on groceries, clothing and other basic goods no household can avoid.
“At the end of the day, the person who is going to be footing the bill for this is the Connecticut taxpayer,” Cheeseman said. “These are not optional extras. It’s a tax hike on the goods … without which the average person cannot exist.”
“Connecticut is already a tax disaster, and this makes it even worse,” added Madison Republican Bob Stefanowski, Lamont’s opponent in the 2022 gubernatorial race. “A tax hike on diesel adds to the sky-high Biden/Lamont inflation, increasing the cost of food and consumer goods. Enough is enough. The governor should have done more to prevent this and to help struggling families.”
But Lamont’s communications director, Max Reiss, said the Republican call to ease diesel taxes came only after lawmakers from both parties had already compromised in late March on a plan to suspend the 25-cents-per-gallon retail tax on regular gasoline from April through June. It later was extended through Nov. 30.
Lamont, a Democrat, proposed the highway use tax to help stabilize the state’s long-term transportation construction program after legislators from both parties rejected his proposals to install electronic tolling on highways.
But when he pitched the highway use fee in February 2021, the national inflation rate was 1.4%. The Consumer Price Index has been over 8% throughout the spring.
Fox noted that the state government’s fiscal position has gotten much rosier since then, even as inflation has weakened Connecticut households.
The budget’s Special Transportation Fund is projected to be $200 million in surplus this fiscal year and has a $441 million emergency reserve.
And if it needs more help, the General Fund is running $3.8 billion in the black this year, with another $3.1 billion in its rainy day fund.
But Reiss said the governor “is focused on providing real relief to residents.”
The governor signed a $660 million state tax cut package this year that includes:
• A $250 per child tax rebate for low- and middle-income families;
• More than $40 million in payments to working poor households, worth about $300 to families making a little less than $58,000 per year;
• An expansion from $200 to $300 for the income tax credit that offsets property tax costs;
• And a statewide cap on motor vehicle taxes at 32.46 mills.
Reiss added that repealing the highway use tax would ensure large out-of-state trucks that do major damage to Connecticut’s roads continue to ride through the state at no added cost.
With economists beginning to warn of a major national recession in 2023, Democrats also wanted to be careful not to overextend, said Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven.
“Given the reality of what we can afford,” Looney added, “we decided to focus our approach on what would benefit the most people immediately.” | https://www.journalinquirer.com/business/diesel-fuel-tax-to-rise-sharply-in-ct-experts-say-costs-will-hit-consumers/article_7ed235a0-e1a4-11ec-a9ec-4f9928ebf66c.html | 2022-06-01T14:03:04Z | https://www.journalinquirer.com/business/diesel-fuel-tax-to-rise-sharply-in-ct-experts-say-costs-will-hit-consumers/article_7ed235a0-e1a4-11ec-a9ec-4f9928ebf66c.html | false | 7 |
Half of unpaid carers who look after an elderly parent are concerned about the emotional toll caregiving can take – and more than a quarter face a struggle to afford to care for them properly.
Many carers are going the extra mile as nearly six in 10 (57 per cent) make sure their loved ones aren’t overpaying for their bills.
While half (52 per cent) ensure gas and electricity readings are submitted correctly.
Efforts could affect their own job
It emerged a fifth are already thinking about how expensive it may get this winter – but 25 per cent are afraid their efforts could start affecting their own job.
The poll of 1,000 unpaid carers, more than half of whom care for parents over 65, found the most common things people are doing to support are shopping, cooking and cleaning.
While 57 per cent are also helping with their household finances as the cost-of-living rises.
However, 66 per cent still fear their parents are ‘too proud’ to ask for the support they may need.
Phillippa Brown from Smart Energy GB, which commissioned the research, said: “Doing small things now to help prepare for the future is vital, especially if you’re an unpaid carer.
“And what this research shows is the amount of people who are going above and beyond to ensure their parents aren’t being left to cope with current issues alone.
“For many families, every penny counts. So, making sure the energy bills of older or vulnerable people are accurate is important – and requesting a smart meter from their energy supplier is just one way to make a difference.”
The survey also found 78 per cent of those who care for their parents are starting to prepare for winter already, with 67 per cent believing it is the hardest time of year for older people.
And 87 per cent expect the increase in energy prices in October to make the colder months even more challenging.
Getting ready for winter
To get ready for winter, many are ensuring their loved ones have enough warm clothes, the heating is working properly and appliances are up to scratch.
While over a third (34 per cent) are helping them use a smart meter to take control of their energy use, and 29 per cent plan to get them one installed by their energy supplier.
It also emerged that, on average, the nation’s unpaid carers who are looking after a parent spend nearly 15 hours each week doing so.
And a third admit they worry about their parents being cold in the winter as a result of rising energy prices, the survey conducted via OnePoll found.
But seven in 10 revealed their parents would not have expected their children to have to provide care for them in later life when they were younger.
Phillippa Brown added: “Arranging for someone you look after to have a smart meter installed by their energy supplier will help them and you prepare for future increases in energy prices, as you’ll both be able to keep track of what they’re spending.
“What’s more, simple draught proofing around windows and doors will also increase the efficiency of a home's heating system and could help your money go further when things get colder.
“A smart meter's in-home display will show you in near-real time how much energy is being used, so you can make small changes like this for those you look after to help better manage their household finances.” | https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/read-this/more-than-one-in-four-unpaid-carers-could-struggle-to-look-after-their-elderly-parent-3717441 | 2022-06-01T14:03:40Z | https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/read-this/more-than-one-in-four-unpaid-carers-could-struggle-to-look-after-their-elderly-parent-3717441 | true | 15 |

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baffle, Inc. today announced the availability of the Baffle Data Protection Service (DPS) Transform that integrates with Apache Kafka® and Confluent Cloud. Developers, data engineers, and operators can now benefit from automated data de-identification and protection as information is ingested into the cloud and used by applications.
The Baffle DPS Transform has earned verification from Confluent as part of the Confluent Verified Integrations Program. The verification ensures that connectors meet the technical and functional requirements of transforms for Kafka that use the consumer/producer API. This provides customers a level of compatibility and functionality with the Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform ecosystem and is a mutually supported integration between Confluent Cloud or Confluent Platform and Baffle Data Protection Services. The Baffle DPS Transform can be found at https://www.confluent.io/hub/baffleinc/baffle-transforms.
Migration of enterprise data to the cloud is not a one-time lift and shift. Data permeates every aspect of business and now streams almost constantly from millions of locations and devices. As streaming and scale intensify, organizations typically hit performance bottlenecks, forcing significant re-engineering of applications and business processes to secure the data pipeline.
Baffle automatically transforms data on the fly as it moves into the pipeline with a plug-in that utilizes the Single Message Transform (SMT) capability, de-identifies sensitive data on the fly, and controls who can access and use that data in the business. With the integration of Baffle’s no-code, simple-to-deploy security mesh solution with Apache Kafka, users can now securely move large data workloads to the cloud quickly and securely with no performance impact and no application changes.
Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform capable of handling trillions of events a day. Baffle, Kafka, and Confluent customers will now have simplified integration of security controls into an Apache Kafka stream with the Baffle DPS Transform. Customers can use Baffle for various real-time use cases, including moving information quickly and securely in the cloud without big teams having to ingest, transform, and cleanse data. This data-centric security approach ensures that no cleartext data is exposed in the analytics pipeline, preventing the possibility of sensitive data from being stolen.
“The race to safely migrate massive amounts of data into cloud pipelines is filled with stumbles and stalls, often requiring significant application re-engineering and business process changes that increase risk and slow down time-to-value,” said Ameesh Diavatia, co-founder and CEO, Baffle. “Baffle accelerates secure cloud data migration speed five-fold by easily embedding in the existing data pipeline and automatically de-identifying data as it is ingested and used across the enterprise.”
Join Baffle in this webinar on how companies can apply modern data protection approaches and technologies to easily de-identify and re-identify Kafka data streams to share sensitive information securely between internal and external audiences and data domains.
About Baffle
Baffle protects data in the cloud via a “no code” and “low code” data security mesh. The solution provides universal data protection to secure data wherever it lives and as it is consumed in distributed data environments. Companies can control who can see what data with this security layer with no performance impact on the user experience. Proven in large-scale environments, only the Baffle Data Protection Service de-identifies sensitive information on the fly as it is processed in the cloud.

There were 11.4 million job openings in the US at the end of April, the latest JOLTs survey released on Wednesday showed. That was a decline from March's record-high number of 11.8 million job openings, but in line with consensus forecasts. The data shows that the demand for labour remained very healthy at the start of Q2 2022, as evidenced by the fact that there is still well over one job opening per unemployed person in the US at the moment.
Market Reaction
The robust JOLTs data, alongside a stronger than expected ISM Manufacturing PMI report, has given the buck a boost in recent trade.

DALLAS, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cushing® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (the "Fund") declared its monthly distribution of $0.2132 per common share for each of June, July, and August, 2022. These monthly distributions will be payable to common shareholders pursuant to the table below:
1The return of capital estimate is based on the Fund's current anticipated earnings and profits for the fiscal year and does not include a projection of gains and losses on the sale of securities which may occur during the remainder of the year. It is currently anticipated, but not certain, that approximately 94% of the Fund's distributions will be treated as a return of capital. The final determination of such amounts will be made and reported to shareholders in early 2023, after the end of the calendar year when the Fund determines its earnings and profits for the year. The final tax status of each distribution may differ substantially from this preliminary information.
Each distribution shall be paid on the payment date unless the payment of such distribution is deferred by the Fund's Board of Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to comply with applicable law or to ensure that the Fund remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue as a going concern.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with an investment objective of seeking a high total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies, including: (i) energy infrastructure companies, (ii) industrial infrastructure companies, (iii) sustainable infrastructure companies, and (iv) technology and communication infrastructure companies. The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its Managed Assets in securities of energy master limited partnerships ("MLPs") that qualify as publicly traded partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund's shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SZC."
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. Investments in the Fund involve operating expenses and fees. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that closed-end funds trade on their market value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value.
Future distributions will be made by the Fund if and when declared by the Fund's Board of Trustees, based on a consideration of number of factors, including the Fund's continued compliance with terms and financial covenants of its leverage financing facility, the Fund's net investment income, financial performance, and available cash. There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of distributions in the future.

Michael Le Vell age: How old is Coronation Street's Kevin Webster?
MICHAEL LE VELL has starred in Coronation Street for almost four decades but how old is the Kevin Webster actor?
Coronation Street: Imran and Toyah get into car crash
Coronation Street wouldn't be the same without some of its long founding members, including mechanic Kevin Webster, played by Michael Le Vell. From the horrific tram crash and his affair with Molly Dobbs (played by Vicky Binns), to his son Jack (Kyran Bowes) having his leg amputated, Kevin has very much been through the mill in the ITV soap opera. Now, he is part of yet another major storyline which is playing out this week.
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Coronation Street.
How old is Coronation Street's Kevin Webster?
Actor Michael Le Vell joined the cast of Coronation Street in 1983, just a few days shy of his 19th birthday.
He was born on December 15, 1964, which means that the Kevin Webster star is now 57-years-old.
When he first arrived on the cobbles all of those years ago, Kevin moved in with Hilda Ogden (Jean Alexander) and it wasn't too long before he got a job at Brian Tilsley's garage.
His dad Bill (Peter Armitage) and sister Debbie (Sue Devaney) soon followed but left the street when Bill remarried and moved to Southampton with his daughter in tow.

While it is hard to imagine anyone else playing the rough around the edges mechanic, Le Vell wasn't originally even going to audition for the part.
Speaking to Manchester Evening News, he explained: "I wasn't actually up for Kevin Webster.
"I was in the corridor waiting to audition for a programme called Scully and then Judi [Hayfield, former casting director] walked past and went, 'Am I seeing you tomorrow for Kevin Webster' and I said, 'No', and she said, 'leave it with me.'"
He was initially meant to star in just 12 episodes but received a call back from Coronation Street and Le Vell hasn't left since.
Le Vell is actually the fifth longest-serving character in the beloved ITV drama.
Audrey Roberts actress Sue Nicholls has been working full-time in the soap for 37 years, joining the cast after her onscreen daughter Gail Platt who has been starring for a whopping 48 years.
The longest-serving actress on the cobbles is none other than Barbara Knox as Rita Tanner, with a whopping 50 years under her belt.
But, of course, Ken Barlow star Bill Roache wins this prize as he appeared in the very first episode of Coronation Street 62 years ago.

Sally Carman husband: Is Corrie's Abi Franklin star married? [CAST]
In terms of Le Vell's personal life, he was previously married to actress Janette Beverley for 25 years.
The couple, who have two children together, went their separate ways in 2011.
Le Vell is now engaged to a Louise Gibbons who he has been dating since 2014.
The Corrie star popped the question to Louise, who is reportedly the sister of his local bookies, back in 2017.
Le Vell is one of the main stars of Coronation Street this week as his wife Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) has plans to run off with baby Alfie.
Imran (Charlie de Melo) - Alfie's father - and Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) were granted custody of the newborn, much to Abi's dismay.
But having purchased herself and Alfie fake passports, is she really going to kidnap her own child?

Big Data auto security company announces the launch of its regulation crowdfunding raise
BALTIMORE, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Project Overlord, the company behind the first advanced technology designed to eliminate wheel theft on various vehicle types globally, is announcing today its most recent third-party valuation of $37.3M, giving it an IoT valuation of $261M. Project Overlord's initial product RimTech, the world's first patented app-controlled wheel anti-theft system, is launching its regulation crowdfunding raise on StartEngine.
Recent reports have shown that incidents of auto theft have decreased by 72% due to advancements in technology, while tire theft has been on the rise and up 187% due to the lack of security. Currently, the only form of protection on the market is provided by wheel locks that can be defeated in less than 10 seconds. Without the ability to track, identify, recover and enforce prosecution, consumers and insurance companies have been forced to pay over $18 billion a year replacing wheels and tires as well as other physical vehicle damage.
RimTech protects car, truck and SUV owners from becoming a statistic. In the attempt to remove the tires, the security device sends a notification to the owner's phone or tablet, in addition to setting off an audible alarm. RimTech's built-in GPS will track the wheels and vehicle, if still attached, should the tires continue to be tampered with or the theft has not been deterred. In addition, the technology will alert the authorities of an in-progress theft with the location and vehicle information for recovery. The ongoing GPS tracking occurs in real-time with an accuracy range of 10 feet. The technology also possesses EMI/RFI coating for protection from electromagnetic pulses.
Project Overlord secured its first patent in the US in 2017 and spent the last several years securing patents in 42 additional countries, including the UK, China, India and South Africa; with $338M in sales commitments at launch, in addition to monitoring and data analytics revenue as well as additional global future orders upon product completion. Surpassing the proof of concept phase, the company is currently in the last stage of development. The numbers are expected to continue to rise as Project Overlord has additional interest from several major automotive manufacturers for integration.
"We recognized the changing landscape of how data has transformed our world when it comes to consumer products and have transitioned the company from being an automotive accessory company to a big data company," said Project Overlord Chief Operating Officer, David Snider. "Our value proposition to vehicle owners, dealers and the vehicle manufacturers is a technologically updated protection leap of one of the only two last parts of the vehicle that are unprotected from theft."
"RimTech garnered international media coverage for its disruptor status to the wheel theft prevention field and has a fast-mover advantage in this market, but given our data revenue potential on top of everything else we have done to position ourselves properly, we believe our new valuation is a reflection of our higher value proposition as a pre-revenue startup," said Project Overlord Founder, Terrence Gaskin. "I'm tremendously excited for where we are headed. RimTech's ability to notify vehicle owners and police of an in progress theft is a complete game changer for theft prevention."
Project Overlord has assembled a dynamic team of leading industry-specific C-Suite executives on its advisory board for unicorn status scaling; including advisors from big data, automotive manufacturers, manufacturing, retail, fleet, telematics, government and military contracting, as well as social media and branding.
RimTech will be compatible with iPhones, Androids, Ipads, Android tablets and company provided fleet management tablet solutions, and will be available in the App Store, Android Market and Google Play Store.
For more information on RimTech visit www.projectoverlordsystem.com and on Project Overlord visit www.projectoverlordcorp.com. To learn more about the raise, visit www.startengine.com/rimtech.
About Project Overlord
Launched in 2015, Project Overlord's mission is to build a technologically advanced mobile app-driven product that helps consumers conquer the unsolved problem of wheel theft before it occurs, as well as theft of other personal and commercial vehicles. Project Overlord's core product lines are a range of products ranging from personal and fleet vehicles, motorsports equipment to commercial-grade vehicles.

PARIS – Amelie Mauresmo, a former No. 1 player who is in her first year as the French Open's first female tournament director, said Wednesday that nine of the 10 night sessions at Roland Garros involved men's matches because women’s tennis currently has less “appeal.”
Speaking at the traditional second-week news conference to recap the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, Mauresmo said she tried on a daily basis to find a women’s pairing that had the star power or a matchup worthy of being highlighted in the separate session that began at 8:45 p.m. local time in Court Philippe Chatrier.
“I admit it was tough,” said Mauresmo, a 42-year-old from France who first topped the WTA rankings in 2004 and returned to that spot after winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2006.
Her last major tournament was the 2009 U.S. Open. After retiring as a player, Mauresmo moved into coaching and worked with Andy Murray, Lucas Pouille and Marion Bartoli, among others, and was France's captain for the team competition now called the Billie Jean King Cup.
This year's French Open began on May 22 and will end on Sunday. The last of the 10 night sessions was scheduled for Wednesday, and the only women’s match that got the prime-time treatment — part of a deal with a streaming service — was France’s Alizé Cornet’s victory over Jelena Ostapenko in the second round.
Asked about that decision-making process, Mauresmo said in French that having just one match in each night session made it “more difficult to have” that be only a women's match. Night sessions at the U.S. Open, for example, usually include one women's match and one men's match.
“In this era that we are in right now, I don't feel — and as a woman, former women's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying that, right now — you have more ... appeal," Mauresmo said. "That's the general (reasons) for the men's matches.”
She added: “My goal was, when I was doing the schedule every day, to try and see, from the first round, when the draw came out ... ‘what match in the woman’s draw can I put there?' honestly.”
Her session with reporters was held the morning after 13-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal's 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) quarterfinal victory over defending champion Novak Djokovic in Tuesday's night session. The match lasted 4 hours, 12 minutes and finished after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, leaving some of the 15,000 or so spectators unable to use public transportation to get home.
“That’s actually a key issue that needs to be settled, and that will be one of our priorities in the future,” Mauresmo said. “We haven’t planned anything yet, but obviously we need to organize ourselves differently with the Department of Transport of Paris with bus systems, with the underground system. If we continue with these night sessions in this direction, people need to leave the stadium late enough and make sure that they have a way to come back home, as they should.”
Nadal, through the media, and his manager, Carlos Costa, directly with Mauresmo, made clear the owner of 21 Grand Slam titles preferred not to play at night, because of the way the cooler temperatures affect his shots. It dropped below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) during his quarterfinal.
Asked about that, Mauresmo deflected the question and replied: “Rafa has shown us how big a champion he is, far and beyond all these considerations.”

Major League Baseball fans are going wild over a recent San Francisco Giants post on Twitter. Since the Giants are in Philadelphia to play the Phillies, they made their lineup announcement on Twitter as a parody of the popular TV series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
"The secret tunnel going from the stadium to the Ollidy Inn." - @ SFGiants
The Giants are in the middle of a three-game set against the Phillies, and it is always fun to see teams have a good social media presence.
San Francisco Giants fans are loving the lineup announcement parody
"This is the greatest thing ever!" - @ Burns
It has been a recent trend for professional sports to be more engaging and fun on social media, and what better way to do that than to combine the San Francisco Giants with a classic, Philly-based TV show!
"I enjoyed this until I saw Fairchild, Walton and Bart in the same lineup?! That is disgusting" - @ Ryan
Although this Tweet is supposed to be funny and positive, there were some Giants fans who were very critical of the lineup in the comments. The Giants have been on a recent skid, losing two out of three to the Cincinnati Reds, and fans aren't too happy about that.
"IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OH MY GOD" - @ soph
This Giants fan was ecstatic after seeing the Giants tweet. More Major League Baseball teams should follow suit when playing against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
"Somebody deserves a raise!" - @KC
The Giants social media team definitely deserves a raise after this one. A lot of creativity and thought went into this post, and it is nice to see the fans react positively.
"You've truly outdone yourselves, team" - @ David
The attention to detail in the post is impressive, and it makes the post that much more appealing. This format is way cooler than a basic lineup card.
"Last time we did some cute s**t like this we got smoked in the doubleheader let's see how this goes" - @ GiantsTruther
It's an unfortunate reality when teams do out-of-the-box things like this on social media, a bad karma sometimes follows. Mix that with the Giants recent skid, and maybe this is not the best idea for the team's outcome.
"Lineup kinda sucks ngl. video was great though. let's end mustache may with a W" - @ Depressed giants fan
Although the San Francisco Giants are having a pretty good season so far, their offense has seen some early struggles. Hopefully, they can turn it around and still be competitve come later in the season. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/baseball/this-greatest-thing-ever-mlb-twitter-goes-wild-san-francisco-giants-it-s-always-sunny-philadelphia-lineup-announcement | 2022-06-01T14:31:13Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/baseball/this-greatest-thing-ever-mlb-twitter-goes-wild-san-francisco-giants-it-s-always-sunny-philadelphia-lineup-announcement | false | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI thwarted a planned cyberattack on a children's hospital in Boston that was to have been carried out by hackers sponsored by the Iranian government, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.
Wray told a Boston College cybersecurity conference that his agents learned of the planned digital attack from an unspecified intelligence partner and got Boston Children's Hospital the information it needed last summer to block what would have been “one of the most despicable cyberattacks I've seen.”
“And quick actions by everyone involved, especially at the hospital, protected both the network and the sick kids who depended on it,” Wray said.
The FBI chief recounted that anecdote in a broader speech about ongoing cyber threats from Russia, China and Iran and the need for partnerships between the U.S. government and the private sector.
He said the bureau and Boston Children’s Hospital had worked closely together after a hacktivist attacked the hospital’s computer network in 2014. Martin Gottesfeld launched a cyberattack at the hospital to protest the care of a teenager at the center of a high-profile custody battle and later was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The attack against the hospital and a treatment home cost the facilities tens of thousands of dollars and disrupted operations for days.
“Children’s and our Boston office already knew each other well — before the attack from Iran — and that made a difference,” Wray said.
He did not ascribe a particular motive to the planned attack on the hospital, but he noted that Iran and other countries have been hiring cyber mercenaries to conduct attacks on their behalf.
When it comes to Russia, he said, the FBI is “racing” to warn potential targets about preparatory actions that hackers are taking toward destructive attacks. In March, for instance, the FBI warned that it was seeing increased interest by hackers in energy companies since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Hackers from China, meanwhile, have stolen more corporate and personal data from Americans than all other nations combined as part of a broader geopolitical goal to “lie, cheat and steal,” Wray said.
The speech took place as the FBI continues to combat ransomware attacks from criminal gangs, an ongoing concern for U.S. officials despite the absence of crippling intrusions in recent months.
Wray emphasized the need for private companies to work with the FBI to thwart ransomware gangs and nation-state hackers, adding that building those relationships is a key to success.
“What these partnerships let us do is hit our adversaries at every point — from the victims’ networks, back all the way to the hackers’ own computers,” Wray said.
The FBI and other federal agencies have been working to assure hacking victims that it is in their best interest to report intrusions and cyber crimes. Many companies attacked by ransomware gangs often don’t go to the FBI for a variety of reasons.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican from Ohio and the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, issued a report earlier this year critical of the FBI’s response to some ransomware victims. In two cases, the FBI “prioritized its investigative and prosecutorial efforts to disrupt attacker operations over victims’ need to protect data and mitigate damage,” the report said.
One unnamed Fortune 500 company told committee staff that the FBI did not offer any “helpful assistance” when responding to a ransomware attack.
“For example, the FBI offered their hostage negotiator who appeared to have little expertise in responding to ransomware attacks,” the report said.
Wray, though, touted the FBI's capacity to get a technically trained agent to any victimized company in an hour — “and we use it a lot.”

That is the refrain inside Netflix that feature film executives, led by division chief Scott Stuber, are grappling to operate under as the digital streaming giant changes course and confronts new realities, such as lagging subscriber growth (it lost 200,000 subs in its latest quarter) and rising competition (Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ now has 205 million subs combined, just behind Netflix’s 221 million global subs).
The Hollywood Reporter spoke to multiple sources, ranging from executives to producers to agents with ties to the company, to paint a picture of a streaming giant that is trying to get its mojo back after a shocking earnings disclosure April 19 (Netflix has lost 44 percent of its stock value since that day). “Morale is stuck at stock level,” says one executive semi-jokingly. Another executive describes the mood within Netflix right now as “distracted” given the changes.

It’s easy to see why. The company, in response to Wall Street, has taken cost-cutting measures such as axing more than 150 employees, or 2 percent of its workforce. TV and other parts of the company have taken their hits, but a pointed focus is the features division. A good portion of cuts have wiped out the family live action film division, and the original independent features division, which made movies in the under-$30 million budget range, has also seen its ranks cleaned out.
As it moves forward, Netflix wants to focus on making bigger movies, making better movies, and releasing fewer than it previously did at a gluttonous pace. “Just a few years ago, we were struggling to out-monetize the market on little art films,” Netflix co-chief Ted Sarandos told analysts on the company’s April earnings call. “Today, we’re releasing some of the most popular and most watched movies in the world. Just over the last few months, things like Don’t Look Up and Red Notice and Adam Project, as examples of that.” But what this “bigger, better, fewer” directive means is unclear to those inside and outside the company.
“Small movies are not going to go away,” says one insider, but they could become more niche and cater to a passionate audience. Another insider concurs, saying the output will be reduced, lessening the need for so many execs. “They were overstaffed with executives,” says this insider. Also, bigger doesn’t necessarily mean more $150 million movies. Expect to a see a more subtle change — instead of making two movies for $10 million, as an example, the company will make one for $20 million. “The goal will be to make the best version of something instead of cheapening out for the sake of quantity,” says one insider. And the streamer remains in the acquisitions game, as evidenced by the recent $50 million-plus deal for the Emily Blunt thriller Pain Hustlers.
On Netflix’s earnings call, Sarandos pointed to “big event films” like The Gray Man and Knives Out 2 as a way of driving sub growth. Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in a $200 million-plus budgeted film directed by Avengers: Endgame duo Anthony and Joe Russo, will hit select theaters July 15 before bowing on the service July 22. Meanwhile, Knives Out 2 — the next chapter of the whodunit franchise from director Rian Johnson and star Daniel Craig, for which Netflix hammered out a $469 million deal in March 2021 — is set to bow in the fourth quarter of this year. “The upcoming slate in ’22, we’re confident, is better and more impactful than it was in ’21,” Sarandos noted to analysts on the April call.
Animation is also under scrutiny, with a disciplined ax taken to projects that were on the bubble and the frequency of releases also being diminished, although a “new movie every week” is still the goal, be it live action or animation.
The moves are a far cry from only a few years ago, when movies that cost over $100 million or $150 million were rare. That was also the time when Netflix was frequently cited in the media as the savior of the mid-budget movie, and of such once-theatrical staples as romantic comedies and thrillers. Always Be My Maybe, The Kissing Booth and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before became hits, made social media stars out of their actors and even launched mini-franchises.
The company isn’t giving much specific direction right now, either. “Conversations will be happening with producers and directors in the coming weeks about size and genres,” says one producer who has a meeting on the books and is eagerly awaiting insight. But this is an uncertain moment for the streaming giant, which could see still more cuts and possible executive exits, leaving some producers and agents leery. “Am I comfortable bringing them a package right now? No, I’m not,” says one partner. (Netflix co-chief Reed Hastings didn’t exactly give film chief Stuber or TV leader Bela Bajaria a boost of confidence when Maureen Dowd, in a New York Times profile published May 28, asked about the likelihood of top executives staying put and he replied: “Um, the way we are organized, no one gets to make that assumption.”)
One thing many agree on is that the era of expensive vanity projects at Netflix, whether animation or live action (like Martin Scorsese’s $175 million The Irishman), is likely over. “This tendency to do anything to attract talent and giving them carte blanche is going away,” says one person. As always, there will be exceptions — this is Hollywood, after all — but in essence, this new era seems to be marked by one idea: discipline.

CHENNAI: Mankind always tries to do daring and innovative attempts in order to take a place in the Guinness World Records.
Taking that tradition forward, a man did such dangerous attempt to set up a record which prompted the Guinness World Records to take their official Instagram handle to post a video of a Jones doing a high bungee jump of about 198 feet to dunk a doughnut into coffee.
Guinness record captioned the post, “Highest dunk of a doughnut (bungee jumping) 60.553 m (198 ft 8 in) by Ron Jones US.”
Before one can blink the eyes, Jones could be seen reaching the cup of coffee, that was placed 198 feet below.
Ever since the post was put up, it has garnered over 6.25 lakh views and 60,000 likes.
An user said “He took Dunkin Donuts to a whole another level."
Reacting to the comments, the Guinness World Records (GWR) replied, “A doughnut was dunked into a coffee cup measuring just 8.89 cm (3.5 in) in diameter on the US TV show Guinness World Records Unleashed in 2013. The current record for highest bungee dunk is 73.41 m (240 ft 10 in) by Simon Berry (UK) who dunked a biscuit into a cup of tea in 2016.”

ZIMBABWE National Karate Federation president, Joe Rugwete, was confirmed as African Karate Federation (UFAK) vice-president representing Southern Africa at the African Union Sports Council Region 5 Karate Championships held in Durban, South Africa, from May 26-29.
The event was attended by the World Karate Federation vice-president Bechir Cherif, executive member of the World Karate Federation Souleymane Gaye and World Karate Federation expert coach Antonio Oliva Seba.
Team Zimbabwe managed to bring home one gold medal, which was won by veteran Winston Nyanhete, and five bronze medals, which were picked by Nakai Mahachi, Tishana Sekerani, Getrude Matare, Ruvarashe Kasumba and Lovemore Mutume.
Zimbabwe also won the bid to host the next African Union Sports Council Region 5 Karate Championships in 2023.
The African Union Sports Council Region 5 Karate Championships were attended by countries like Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The Zimbabwean delegation had 13 athletes (10 females and three males), three officials, two referees and the team manager.
Two officials attended a high level international tactical seminar conducted by Seba as one coach attended the Regional Coaching Course where an agreement was signed wherein Seba would conduct a four-day tactical coaching seminar for athletes and coaches in Harare in September 2022.
The Zimbabwe National Karate Federation secretary-general, Tirivenyu Mutema, said they feel honoured to have athletes retuning home with medals and the chance given to Rugwete.
"We are delighted that our athletes managed to do well despite the challenges they encountered. We would have loved to send more athletes but we had financial challenges which saw us sending a small delegation.
"We will, however, get an opportunity next year when we will be the host nation and we can give all the athletes a chance as they are all medal hopefuls," said Mutema. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206010186.html | 2022-06-01T14:38:56Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206010186.html | false | 1 |
