Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal on Wednesday asked civic officials to step up vigil, conduct tests on a war-footing and keep the staff of jumbo field hospitals on alert.

There has been nearly three-fold rise in active cases in Maharashtra in the last one month. Health officials anticipate that the spike in cases may continue for the next one or two weeks, especially in cities like Mumbai, Pune and Thane, due to higher mobility for economic compulsions.
Officials attributed several reasons behind the sudden spike in the last one week. Speaking to The Indian Express, Additional Chief Secretary Dr Pradeep Vyas said that people are intermingling more and violating Covid-19 guidelines.
“Laxity in following Covid-appropriate behaviour is a contributing reason. Also, it has been observed that people are taking fever and cough symptoms lightly and are not getting tested… Further, variants BA4 and BA5 (of Omicron) are probably causing a rise in cases,” he added.
In April, the state government had removed all Covid-19 restrictions in the state. It has been observed that most of the patients who have recently been admitted to hospitals are above 60 years of age and suffer from at least two comorbidities.
Till May 31, 16,36,320 people above the age of 60 years have taken the third vaccine against Covid-19 in Maharashtra.
Dr Pradip Awate, the state surveillance officer, said that many of the elderly people haven’t taken the booster dose, which might have weakened their immunity.
Taking note of the gradual rise of cases in Mumbai, Chahal advised more tests and surveillance.

Amber Heard has tweeted minutes after the verdict was delivered in her defamation case against Johnny Depp, which saw Depp win on all three claims (and awarded a little over $10 million in compensation). Heard was also awarded $2 million by way of compensation on one cause of action on her counterclaim.
A tweet from Heard's account has said she's 'disappointed' with the verdict and has described the ruling as a 'setback for women'.
In full, it reads: "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband.
I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock at a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.
"I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive in the UK. I'm sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I have lost a right I thought I had as an American – to speak freely and openly." | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a40169110/amber-heard-tweet-after-verdict/ | 2022-06-01T21:59:40Z | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a40169110/amber-heard-tweet-after-verdict/ | false | 1 |
May is finally over, but inflation worries, the war, and high energy prices welcome the new month with us.
Yesterday’s meeting between Joe Biden and Jerome Powell reminded investors that inflation is the policymakers’ primary concern, and both Biden and Powell will do anything in their power to fight soaring inflation.
But if only Powell could do something effective! The rising consumer prices are mostly due to the rising energy costs – which are out of Powell’s direct reach.
Oil: The good and the bad
The good news is that the kneejerk reaction in crude oil to European ban of Russian oil imports remained capped near the $120 mark. US crude couldn’t find buyers above the $120 psychological mark, and the latest rally got investors to hurriedly take profit, as a sign that above this level the concerns about the negative impact on demand takes over - despite the news that Shanghai is free after two-month lockdown.
The bad news is, Russia started cutting off the gas of more European countries as a response to the European ban on its oil exports, pointing that they refused to pay the Russian gas in rubles. Gazprom stopped providing oil to Netherlands and Denmark, and dropped a small contract to Germany as well, according to Bloomberg news. The latter pushed the European gas futures up by about 2.5% yesterday, but the fact that we are entering the summer months, where the need for heating will be much less, is temporarily good news. I say ‘temporarily’ because losing the Russian energy, watching OPEC do nothing to increase production, and China reopening will likely throw a floor under any selloff in oil prices, and should keep the downside potential limited. The major support to the actual rally is the 50-DMA level, a touch below the $107 per barrel.
Futures point at positive start to June
US futures hint at a positive start to the month, but the gains are vulnerable to inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, and the positive pressure in energy prices.
In the FX, we see the US dollar rebound with higher US yields. The dollar index rebounded back above the 102 mark this morning, but the upside potential will likely remain limited from here, as 1. the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations are fully priced in, the US 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to 2.6% from 3% earlier this year, meaning that investors have more confidence in Fed’s ability to tame inflation without getting more aggressive on actual policy, and 2. other central banks are also tightening… or thinking about tightening (yes, I am looking at you, Christine!)
Today, the Bank of Canada(BoC) will likely raise its overnight rate by 50bps to 1.50%. The dollar-CAD slipped below its 200-DMA this week, and has potential to extend losses to at least toward the 1.2550 without even damaging the medium-term positive trend. Tighter BoC, high energy prices and improved balance of payments suggest a stronger Loonie in the medium run.

Ever since US private equity giant Blackstone made headlines back in April by taking aim at listed property companies, the question has been not if another listed UK property company will go private but when?
We may now have an answer. Earlier this week, Countryside Properties (CSP) revealed that it had received a second offer from private equity firm Inclusive Capital Partners which valued the company at around £1.5bn. Shares in the housebuilder soared 26 per cent on the morning of the offer – hitting a high of 301.6p – before settling back down in the afternoon. | https://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/news/2022/06/01/countryside-approach-shows-private-equity-is-getting-desperate/ | 2022-06-01T22:00:48Z | https://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/news/2022/06/01/countryside-approach-shows-private-equity-is-getting-desperate/ | true | null |
‘Tacky’ wedding guest slated for outrageous outfit & people say ‘the only thing missing is the veil’
UPSTAGING the bride has taken on a whole new meaning.
A wedding guest has been highly criticized for showing up to a wedding in a garb completely reminiscent of a wedding dress.
The gown in question was a floor-length white, lace gown, with a plunging neckline and split up the side.
It was paired with a sparkly clutch and silver jewelry by the daring woman.
Social media users have deemed the gown as 'tacky', some even going as far as saying they would have thrown red wine on it.
People also felt that it was a completely disrespectful move on the wedding guest's part.
Taking to social media, several people voiced their opinions on the distasteful move.
One user wrote: “Hopefully the bride was a knockout and everyone noticed how bad this lady looked in comparison.”
“This is just straight up a wedding dress, no one wears a dress like that except a bride and that’s what makes it truly cringe," said another.
“Forget being clumsy, I would’ve walked straight over to her and thrown two glasses of red wine right over the dress," added a third.
Most read in Lifestyle
“Every person at that wedding would have talked or laughed about her either behind her back or to her face."
“She’s only missing the veil.”
A final person reasoned: “Honestly it’s not just the color, it’s the entire style. If someone wore a plain white cocktail dress that might be a mild faux pas but not worthy of ridicule."

Watch Lionel Messi turn Italy defender inside out for brilliant Martinez assist as Argentina win Finalissima at Wembley
LIONEL MESSI lit up Wembley as Argentina brushed off Italy to win the prestigious Finalissima in front of a sell-out crowd.
The veteran superstar revealed this week that he has been suffering from the effects of long Covid for much of this year.
But there was nothing wrong with his lungs or his feet last night as he destroyed Italy’s ageing defence before lifting the silver trophy.
All that was missing was a goal to crown a man of the match performance from the little maestro who still remains the greatest player in world football.
Yet Messi proved his class with a brilliant twist-and-assist for Premier League-linked Lautaro Martinez in the thrashing.
This was the first time since 1993 that the Champions of Europe and South America had competed for a title and tickets for the match sold out within hours.
For Italy, it was an emotional return to the stadium where they had beaten England on penalties to win the final of last summer’s Euros.
And fortunately there was no repeat of the disgraceful crowd scenes which marred that occasion and led to Italy’s next meeting with England being played closed doors at Molineux next week.
In fact there was a real party atmosphere at Wembley last night as these football obsessed nations slugged it out to become world champions.
Argentina came into this match on the back of a 31-game unbeaten streak stretching all the way back to July 2019.

Yet that had not beaten any European opposition during that run and were eager to silence those critics who were saying they could only turn it on against their South American neighbours.
And no-one was more eager to impress than Messi after his unconvincing first season at Paris St Germain.
At 34-years-old this might just prove to be the final time we get to see arguably the finest footballer of all time.
And he did not disappoint his legion of fans when he turned Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the 28th minute to lay the opening goal on a plate for Martinez.
The Inter Milan striker has been linked with a move to both Chelsea and Spurs in recent weeks and this goal will have added a few more million to his price tag.
Italy’s response was as brutal as it was predictable when Messi was wiped out by a cynical challenge from hatchet man Leonardo Bonucci.
Roberto Mancini’s team are still squirming with embarrassment after losing their World Cup play-off to North Macedonia in March.
And Bonucci looked like he was ready to commit murder when his team conceded again in fist-half stoppage time
This time it was Martinez the creator as he sent Angel Di Maria racing clear of the creaking Italian defence before calmly lifting his shot beyond the advancing Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It was no way for 37-year-old Italian captain Giorgio Chiellinio to end his international career after 117 games and 18 years in the blue shirt of the Azzurri.
But that was to be his last contribution before being replaced as one of three half-time substitutions as Mancini looked to chase the game.
It was only last September that Italy established a new world record of 37 international games unbeaten.
But now Argentina are hunting down that milestone and Italy are lurching from one setback to another.
They should have fallen even further behind in the 63rd minute when Messi teed up Giovanni Lo Celso with a magnificent pass with the outside of his boot.
But the former Spurs midfielder planted his shot wide of the open goal when it seemed easier to score than to miss.
It was left to sub Paulo Dybala to give the scoreline a more realistic look when he scored with virtually the last kick of the game following another mesmerising run by Messi.
Not that it really mattered against an utterly toothless Italian team who barely tested Aston Villa keeper Emi Martinez all night.
Paulo Dybala gave the scoreline a more realistic look when he scored
The closest they came was a tame looping header from Andrea Belotti which was easily saved by Martinez.
Two years ago Martinez had played at an empty Wembley Stadium when Arsenal won the FA Cup and then the Community Shield.
This time there was a capacity crowd of 87,112 to witness his triumph. But there was only one man they were all talking about and that was Messi the magician. | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/football/premier-league/5472152/lionel-messi-argentina-italy-assist-video/ | 2022-06-01T22:04:44Z | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/football/premier-league/5472152/lionel-messi-argentina-italy-assist-video/ | true | 4 |
Poland rallies to beat Wales 2-1 in Nations League opener
WROCLAW, Poland (AP) — Poland came from behind to beat an understrength Wales side 2-1 Wednesday in the opening game of the Nations League. Wales coach Robert Page rested most of his starters ahead of Sunday’s World Cup playoff but Jonny Williams still put the visitors ahead in the 52nd minute in Wroclaw with a low shot past goalkeeper Kamil Grabara. But Poland substitutes Jakub Kaminski and Karol Swiderski scored in the final 18 minutes to turn the game around and hand Wales its first defeat since losing to Denmark in the quarterfinals of the European Championship last year. | https://ktvz.com/news/2022/06/01/poland-rallies-to-beat-wales-2-1-in-nations-league-opener/ | 2022-06-01T22:06:31Z | https://ktvz.com/news/2022/06/01/poland-rallies-to-beat-wales-2-1-in-nations-league-opener/ | true | null |
Rockford jazz artist to perform celebration of life concert for lifelong Freeport musician
FREEPORT — After Freeport resident Dean Bartels passed away unexpectedly in November, his wife, Ellie, and family wanted to honor him in a special way that would speak to Dean’s passion for music.
That's when she had the idea to have one of husband's favorite artists, local jazz artist Harlan Jefferson, hold a concert in his honor.
A vocalist, composer, arranger and actor who plays an array of instruments, Jefferson is best known for his soulful, wailing saxophone. Having recorded three albums, the Rockford artist has played jazz, gospel, R&B, Motown and pop at clubs, festivals, concerts and events in several states.
"Music is the universal language that touches hearts and souls," Jefferson said. "I want to touch Dean’s family and the crowd with my horn, a gift that God gave me."
The concert is free and open to the public, Ellie said, adding her husband would want the park to be full and for everyone to enjoy Jefferson’s music.

A lifelong musician
She said her husband of 54 years grew up in Iowa where, at an early age, he played accordion at local venues. He had a gift for playing by ear and later picked up the guitar, keyboards, drums, trumpet, dulcimer and harmonica.
In the high school band, if the director needed someone to fill in with a different instrument, he’d send it home with young Dean Bartels to learn the piece.
Dean also loved the organ. Once on a tour of the Coronado Performing Arts Center in Rockford, he got to play their Grande Barton theater pipe organ.
An introvert who preferred to stay in the background, he would sometimes play for art openings, at nursing homes and for close family and friends. Ellie said her husband often found it easiest to communicate with music instead of talking.
Dean's vocation was that of an engineer and marketing manager at Micro Switch/ Honeywell, and he was interested in new technologies. He was an avid reader, enjoyed history and politics, tai chi, wood working, flying kites, and anything having to do with cars, races, car museums and car shows.
The Bartels were avid hikers, bikers, and backpackers, and they took trips in search of Frank Lloyd Wright structures. On one such trip to Mason City, Iowa, a piano sat outside at a Frank Lloyd Wright style hotel where they stayed.
Of course, Dean had to sit down and play it, Ellie said.

A blessing of jazz
With love in her voice and a glint of tears in her eye, Ellie also spoke of her husband's honesty, integrity and loyalty to his friends. She added that one of the things she loved about him was that even though they shared many things, they also had separate interests.
Whatever Dean did, Ellie said, his greatest passion was the music.
The Bartels household was filled with melodies. If Dean wasn’t playing, Ellie said, he was listening to his extensive collection of CDs ranging from artists like Lyle Lovett, James Taylor, Willie Nelson, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, or he might have an ear tuned to Beethoven.
Alluding to his tribute for a fellow musician, Jefferson said "I want to bless everybody with a little jazz, some R&B, pop, and maybe some Frank Sinatra thrown in. Also, I’ll be glad to take requests."
Jefferson will celebrate Dean’s life in concert from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Koenig Band Shell in Krape Park.

The Young Bucks, alongside Hangman Page, Kenny Omega, and Cody Rhodes, immediately became an integral part of AEW when it was formed in 2019.
However, as the years gradually progressed, The Elite distanced themselves from Page, who became established as a babyface. Meanwhile, Omega and The Bucks went in the other direction.
Taking to Twitter, Matt and Nick Jackson might've teased the possibility of a potential reunion with Page. The duo updated their Twitter header, which now features a photo of themselves from Ring of Honor, alongside Page.
Fans and other notable accounts were quick to notice the Twitter header update from The Young Bucks. Some took to social media to point out the same. Here are a few reactions to it:
What happened with Hangman Page and The Young Bucks at the recently concluded AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view?
At AEW Double or Nothing 2022, The Young Bucks competed in a high-profile tag team match against The Hardys. The two tag teams have been feuding for months, eventually culminating in a thrilling showdown between them.
Matt and Nick are no strangers to getting the job done on the big stage. However, things didn't go their way this time around. The former AEW Tag Team Champions were beaten by Matt and Jeff Hardy after The Charismatic Enigma hit the Swanton Bomb for the win.
Later that same night, Hangman Page competed in the main event of Double or Nothing as he put the AEW World Championship on the line against CM Punk.
After weeks of intense build-up, the two men finally locked horns, but eventually, it wasn't a night of celebration for Page. The former Elite member ended up losing the world title to Punk after a GTS.
It now remains to be seen what AEW has in store for Page going forward. It will be interesting to note how the promotion plan on using him and whether he does end up reuniting with The Young Bucks.
Q. Would you like to see The Young Bucks reunite with Hangman Page?

President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday in Madrid, Spain, expressed the readiness of Nigeria to host the first-ever Global Conference on Tourism, Culture, and the Creative Industry in November this year in a conducive environment.
Speaking during a visit to the headquarters of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) in the Spanish capital at the beginning of his State Visit to the country, President Buhari described the granting of the hosting rights as “further proof of Nigeria’s support for the vision of the organization and also an affirmation of the confidence reposed in our country by your organization.’’
He said the event would provide yet another opportunity for the country to showcase its tourism and creative industry to the whole world.
“It will also serve as an opportunity to extend our warm hospitality to the world and introduce the country’s leisure and business sectors to potential investors. We have not-so-well-known wonders to reveal,” he said.
President Buhari assured participants from across the world of “a safe and secure environment as well as excellent facilities,” adding, “we look forward to welcoming all participants.”
The President affirmed that the country had been consistent in supporting the organisation since joining in 1975, noting that Nigeria had also been elected Chairman of the Commission for Africa between 2005 and 2007.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, whose ministry is facilitating the conference, said Nigeria was given the hosting rights at the 64th meeting of the UNWTO in Cape Verde in 2021, explaining that “our plan is to host the event in the iconic National Theatre in Lagos which is currently being massively refurbished for the first time since its commissioning some 46 years ago.
In his remarks, Secretary General of UNWTO, Zurab Pololikashvili, said the visit of the President was a direct confirmation of how important tourism is to Nigeria, describing Nigeria as “a big country with huge resources in culture, nature and diversity.” | https://www.blueprint.ng/buhari-welcomes-the-world-as-nigeria-hosts-tourism-confab/ | 2022-06-01T22:09:32Z | https://www.blueprint.ng/buhari-welcomes-the-world-as-nigeria-hosts-tourism-confab/ | true | 2 |
Avoid These Common Spring Cleaning Mistakes
The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and you suddenly feel the urge to start some spring cleaning. Getting rid of old junk and giving your home a thorough cleaning is a great way to freshen things up before a busy summer season. But did you know that many of us are making several spring cleaning mistakes?
Take a look at these six common missteps. Avoiding these errors can help protect your home, your pocketbook, and even your health.
Mistake #1: Cleaning without a plan
We’ve all been there. You wake up with a goal of cleaning the whole house and by mid-afternoon, your home is in complete disarray, and you haven’t really accomplished anything. Like any big job, having a plan of action is the best way to ensure things run smoothly. Start by creating a list of everything you want to tackle and then come up with a strategy for getting it done.
Mistake #2: Not starting from the top
Your cleaning is complete, and you collapse on the couch for a rest. But glancing up, you notice your ceiling fan is covered in dust. If you wipe it down now, dust will surely fall onto everything you’ve already cleaned!
It is a good practice to start by looking up and start with fans, ceilings and other hard to reach places such as the tops of shelves, ledges, crown molding. etc.
Mistake #3: Not decluttering
It’s hard to clean around a bunch of clutter, so before you reach for the cleaning supplies, put away toys, file paperwork, put dishes away, and hang up clothes.
And while you’re picking things up, you might as well take the time to get rid of items you no longer use or need. By removing unwanted items first, you can focus your cleaning efforts and lighten your load.
Mistake #4: Cleaning only what you can see
We all have that drawer or closet we would rather not open, but investing the time to clean out the closets, drawers and cabinets can provide a sense of control and organization
Mistake #5: Forgetting the mattresses
Regular cleaning is important to not only extend the lifespan of your bed, but also to reduce allergies.
To clean your mattress, first vacuum the entire surface with an upholstery attachment. Then, spot clean where needed using a commercial enzyme cleaner or a mix of dish soap and water, depending on the type of stain. Finally, apply a thin layer of baking soda over the entire surface of the mattress, let it sit for a few hours, and then vacuum again.
Mistake #6: Treating cleaning like a dreaded chore
The words “cleaning” and “fun” usually don’t go together, but spring cleaning can actually be an enjoyable task. If nothing else, think about how nice it will feel when it is all done!
One way to make the job fun is to get everyone involved. There is plenty of work to go around for even the youngest of helpers.

Jorge Masvidal would love to beat Conor McGregor up in the octagon, but according to 'Gamebred' there's no way McGregor will ever a sign a contract to make the fight happen.
That was the overwhelming sentiment from Masvidal on the latest episode of The MMA Hour, where 'Gamebred' laid out his thought process regarding the bout. He said:
"He's not going to fight. The UFC has offered him this fight. As we both know, this fight could be the biggest fight in UFC history. Why wouldn't he want to cash in on that paycheck? Because he knows I'm going to beat the f*** out of him. And I'm not a wrestler so if I beat him it really looks bad for his brand because I'm going to beat him only one way: in his face, standing up, punching him, knocking that a** out. It's not gonna be good for the Conor brand or his cheap ass whiskey. So that little bi*** has to do what he has to do and take to Twitter and talk s*** but when they offer him the contract he says stupid things that can't happen."
Jorge Masvidal accused McGregor of demanding the fight take place at 155, a weight class 'Gamebred' hasn't competed in for over five years. It's all just more proof that 'The Notorious' isn't serious about fighting him. Masvidal said:
"I'll entertain the s*** talk from time to time when I'm bored, but we both know we're not fighting. Dana called it a long time ago. I'm too much man for him, too much size, as Dana said. It stuck with him, but he can't do nothing about it because he knows it's true."
MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani pushed back, suggesting McGregor would take the fight. Masvidal shrugged and said:
"Tell this bi*** a** to sign it."
Watch Jorge Masvidal on The MMA Hour below:
With Conor McGregor still several months away from being able to fight due to a bad leg injury, it'll be a long time before any serious discussions on what's next can occur. Jorge Masvidal has his own issues to sort before getting back in the cage, as well. He's currently facing a felony battery charge for allegedly attacking Colby Covington outside of a Miami Beach restaurant earlier this year. That goes to trial at the end of August.
Jorge Masvidal wants to fight Gilbert Burns next - "I like the way he fights"
During The MMA Hour interview, Jorge Masvidal doubled down on a fight against Gilbert Burns, saying:
"Another fight that makes a lot of sense for me is Gilbert 'Durhino,' I like the way he fights, I like the way he competes, he comes to f***ing give it his all. And the way he called me out was amazing. Like 'Hey, let's fight, let's find out who's the badder motherf***er and beat each other up."
Jorge Masvidal and Gilbert Burns agreed to a fight over social media last month and while the UFC still has to give it their stamp of approval, it's pretty clear it'd be a barnburner of a bout, something Jorge Masvidal clearly wants after being stymied in his five-round loss to Colby Covington. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-conor-mcgregor-never-agree-fight-argues-jorge-masvidal | 2022-06-01T22:10:36Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-conor-mcgregor-never-agree-fight-argues-jorge-masvidal | true | 1 |
OSAGE COUNTY (KSNT) – Wednesday is the first day to apply for a property tax rebate incentive with the Osage County Neighborhood Revitalization Program.
The program is designed to allow property owners to increase the value of their properties by receiving a 10-year tax rebate. It will not impact the current property taxes and will still require applicants to pay all taxes on the residences. The rebate you receive will be a percentage of the increase that was a result of the improvements made, as long as the project meets the requirements.
The Kansas Neighborhood Revitalization Act is a means to provide communities with an increase and stabilization of property taxes in the long-run while encouraging rehabilitation or new construction that may not have happened otherwise.
The eligible property tax types are residential, commercial, industrial, historical and agricultural properties. The benefits of this rebate are to give incentives for property improvements, maintain property tax revenue, create new, long-term tax revenue, reverse migration of residents and help stabilize land values.

The menus during United States President Joe Biden's visit to Tokyo last week reflected the tastes of Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, whose family is from Hiroshima. There were Hiroshima beef fillets, Hiroshima vegetables and Hiroshima lemon sodas. The agenda, however, owed more to Mr Shinzo Abe, a former prime minister who led the country from 2012 to 2020.
Japan promised to spend much more on defence and urged America to rejoin an Asian trade pact the bigger country had ditched. Both are long-time causes of Mr Abe's. Mr Kishida chatted with Mr Biden about the "Free and Open Indo-Pacific", a concept Mr Abe codified. The two leaders met their Australian and Indian counterparts as part of the Quad, a grouping Mr Abe championed.

NEW YORK (AP) — Anger over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine turned bloody in a Brooklyn karaoke bar, with one Ukrainian patron stabbing another Ukrainian man in the face and neck after wrongly insisting the man was Russian, authorities said.
Prosecutors are pursuing hate crime charges because of his mistaken belief about the victim’s nationality.
Oleg Sulyma, 31, is accused of slashing a fellow Ukrainian immigrant with two broken beer bottles after hearing him speaking Russian and demanding proof of his ethnicity, including asking him to say a hard-to-pronounce Ukrainian word.
“I will show you what a real Ukrainian is!" Sulyma said just before attacking, according to prosecutors.
Sulyma pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges including attempted murder and assault as a hate crime in connection with the April 25 attack, which took place at the Signature Restaurant and Falada Lounge in Sheepshead Bay. The neighborhood is home to many people with ties to Russia and Ukraine.
Sulyma was released under supervision following his arraignment Wednesday and ordered to return to court Aug. 8. The man he's accused of stabbing, Andrii Meleshkov, required 17 stitches to repair his wounds, prosecutors said.
A message seeking comment was left with Sulyma’s lawyer.
At a previous court appearance, lawyer Arthur Gershfeld described the clash as a “disputed argument between people” and said Sulyma is the one who “bore the brunt of it.”
Gershfeld alleged Meleshkov, 36, and his friends fought Sulyma, resulting in a collapsed lung and requiring multiple stitches to his lip and eye. Meleshkov told The New York Post he took Sulyma to the ground and sat on him after Sulyma stabbed him.
Under New York state law, prosecutors can charge a person with a hate crime if there‘s evidence they were motivated to act because of what they believed or perceived to be true about a person’s heritage or background, even if they're really members of the same group and those beliefs or perceptions are incorrect.
According to prosecutors, Sulyma confronted Meleshkov and two of his friends around 3:45 a.m., just before closing time, because they were speaking Russian.
“You look Russian,” he said according to prosecutors, and demanded they prove they were actually Ukrainian. He continued insisting they were Russian, even when they said otherwise.
“We switched to Ukrainian in order to calm him down, but it was getting him more and more agitated and he started asking us to translate words to prove that we’re Ukrainian,” Meleshkov told the Post.
Meleshkov told the Post that Sulyma asked him and his friends to pronounce the name of a type of Ukrainian bread, “Palianytsia,” because Russians typically have trouble saying it correctly.
According to Meleshkov, the assailant told him: “If you get it wrong, I’ll have my way with you.”
Sulyma then smashed two beer bottles against a table, said “I’m going to cut you,” and used the jagged edges to stab Meleshkov on the left side of his neck and the right side of his face, prosecutors said.
Sulyma continued to hurl insults at Meleshkov and call him Russian after police arrived, prosecutors said.
Meleshkov, a truck driver, said he was born and raised in Eastern Ukraine, where many people speak Russian, and that his mother is Russian. He moved to Brooklyn in 2015. Sulyma, a construction worker, has lived in Brooklyn for more than a decade.
“This defendant allegedly attempted to murder an innocent Ukrainian man who he believed to be Russian in a hateful and violent rage,” Brooklyn District Attorney Gonzalez said in a written statement.
“Brooklyn’s diversity makes our borough so vibrant, and hate-motivated violence will never be tolerated here,” Gonzalez added.

OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Laserson assumed the role of CEO of Vitamix on Wednesday, making him the first executive outside of the founding family to lead the iconic brand known for manufacturing high-quality blending equipment.
Laserson, who was named Incoming CEO of the family-owned company in February, brings over 25 years of cross-functional leadership experience to the role. Throughout his career, most recently as Vitamix's first Chief Commercial Officer, he has driven profitable growth and boosted market leadership with an approach that embraces creativity, innovation and inclusive collaboration.
"It is an honor for me to build upon the legacy the Barnard family has created and to help usher this organization into its second century," Laserson said.

I'm looking forward to expanding the growth of our brand and to building upon our continued commitment to innovation in whole food blending solutions."
As Chief Commercial Officer, Laserson oversaw marketing, brand, sales, product management and engineering during a period of tremendous growth for the company. He was previously Senior Vice President of Sales at the Cleveland-based American Greetings, where over a 24-year tenure he held key commercial leadership positions in sales and marketing strategy.
"The history of Vitamix is a special one," said John Barnard, Executive Chairman of the Vitamix Board of Directors. "The foundation and focus with which my family has built the company has led to pioneering innovation in whole food health. We are committed to creating the best blending solutions on the market and making whole food eating accessible to more people. The Board and I welcome the passion, expertise and commitment to the Vitamix brand that Steve brings with him as he steps into this role."
Laserson, a native of northeast Ohio and resident of Beachwood, replaces outgoing CEO Jodi Berg, Ph.D., the great-granddaughter of company founder William G. "Papa" Barnard. Berg announced her retirement in February, more than a decade after she became CEO in 2011.

By Anneke Smith of RNZ
The country's lead agency supporting victims of crime and trauma is sitting on a report into allegations of bullying, bad training and delivery failure.
Victim Support, a charity largely bankrolled by the taxpayer, hired independent investigator Charlotte Stevens to look into these allegations in July 2021.
Stevens' report is now finished, and participants RNZ has spoken to say they want to see it, but Victim Support's board is refusing to release it.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.Board chairwoman Lorraine Scanlon has instead emailed staff a letter summarising the findings and requesting no one speak to media about the investigation.
RNZ has obtained a copy of this letter that confirms "some isolated individual instances of behaviour that could constitute bullying and/or one-off instances of rudeness".
Scanlon writes the board also accepts there were complaints made to Victim Support's national office that weren't processed in a timely way.
However, she writes these issues are isolated and blames funding shortfalls and growing demand for services as the primary causes of concern over training and service delivery.
What we know
Victim Support has refused to share the report with RNZ so what is known about it has been lifted from Scanlon's letter to Victim Support staff.
In 2021 the Ministry of Justice, the charity's primary contractor, advised the board concerns had been raised with it about the wellbeing of workers in a region.
This prompted the board to appoint Charlotte Stevens to investigate allegations of bullying, lack of training, health and safety and service delivery issues.
Stevens spoke to 88 people during her 12-month investigation; 70 current workers, 16 former workers and two clients.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.In her letter, Scanlon wrote the board "welcomed" the report's recommendations but shared only one of them to staff; to better manage the 24/7 roster.
Scanlon told staff the investigation did not find significant gaps in training, widespread concern about health and safety or evidence of service delivery failures.
Victim Support is largely-bankrolled by the taxpayer but its charitable status means it's not subject to the same public accountability as government departments.
RNZ can't formally request this report under the Official Information Act and it's possible not even the Ministry of Justice - Victim Support's primary contractor - will get a copy.
Scanlon has told RNZ she anticipates providing the ministry and police a summary-only document of the report when she meets with officials this week.
She was confident any problems had been fixed and explained the reason the report would not go further than the board was to protect the identities its participants.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.This is despite the report being anonymised by the independent investigator before it was given to the board.
"We won't be sharing the report. The report was never meant to be a public document," Scanlon said.
Participants want to see report
RNZ has spoken to several former workers interviewed by Stevens who want to see the report for themselves.
Former volunteer Janine Schmidt complained about being bullied by a superior but the process dragged on for more than a year before it was resolved.
By then, the alleged bully had left the organisation and Schmidt was in therapy to cope with on-again, off-again investigations carried out by different people at Victim Support.
"They'd bring back up again, stressing me out all over again, I didn't get a reply and then we'll do the whole thing again a few months later. It was really, really traumatising."
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.In the end, she got a letter confirming she'd been bullied and/or harassed and that this had amounted to a breach of Victim Support policies.
The letter gave assurances Victim Support had taken action, was committed to work safety and asked that Schmidt keep the complaint and ensuing investigation to herself.
Schmidt told RNZ the charity's response to her complaint hurt more than the behaviour she complained about.
"It's laughable that this can happen to somebody, let alone take so long to deal with, at an organisation that relies on volunteers; stresses that volunteers are the people on the ground and doing the work."
Former volunteer support worker Claire Buckley's workplace concerns came to a head when she watched a superior get bullied to the point of tears.
Like Schmidt, Buckley spoke to Stevens and said she is "incensed" the board's letter tells staff problems are isolated and not systemic.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."I haven't read what Charlotte wrote but I know what she heard and I know that there's no way she said that there's isolated incidents and actually there's no big issue."
Buckley says she does not think it is right that Victim Support's board can sit on the report when the charity gets public money, receiving close to $16 million from central government in the year ending June 2021.
"At the moment these guys just keep getting the Ministry of Justice grant with it never been put out to tender to anybody else to come forward and run a different organisation.
"They're being handed money every year and there's no recourse; there's no way to say hold on how you are accountable for this money that we're just giving you."

Britain’s Got Talent fans think they have "rumbled" Keiichi Iwasaki beer magic trick on Wednesday's semi-finals.
The Ant and Dec Golden Buzzer act performed a magic trick on each of the judges — Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
For Simon's trick, Keiichi said: "Simon, I've heard you like beer, so I've prepared beer for you... oh, I forgot, it's at the back of the stage!"
To which he then got out a red scarf and produced an egg from his pocket, asking Simon to blow on it as he then tapped the egg on the scarf to which a bottle noise was made.

Keiichi then produced a bottle of beer from the scarf as Simon was left gobsmacked over the reveal, declaring: "How did you do that?"
However, some eagle-eyed fans claimed that they had "rumbled" the trick as they "clearly saw him removing the beer bottle from his back pocket".
Taking to Twitter, one person said: "We can clearly see him removing the beer bottle from his back pocket #BGT."
A different account put: "Could clearly see him take the bottle out of his pocket! #BGT."
Another follower wrote: "Legit rewind and pause the TV and you can see him get the bottle of beer from down by his side."
While another show watcher added: "You could see him taking the stuff from his bag/putting it back. #BGT."
Delivering his feedback after the performance, Simon said: "It's really, really, really important on a performance you're going to remember that performance. What it is about you, is your personality is fantastic.

Keiichi made the top three acts of the night after a public vote but missed out on reaching the final with Tom Ball and Eva Abley instead sailing through.

With a reach of up to 10m and a comfort cab that can be elevated as standard, the compact 822 G material handler is a true professional when it comes to recycling. Thanks to its tried-and-tested modular system, it can be individually configured and, with its numerous equipment variants, also makes light work of handling scrap. With this machine, it is clear that once again Sennebogen has focused 100% on material handling during development. The 822 G boasts outstanding responsiveness – the hydraulics can be adjusted very precisely by the operator – and fast, overlapping movements with a hydraulic system that is optimized for demanding tasks in recycling and scrap yards.
At the same time, the machine uses Green Efficiency Technology to save resources and work efficiently. Powerful pumps and large-scale hydraulic valves and lines ensure optimum efficiency. Rightsizing was also on the agenda for the engine. The new 822 G now has an economical 110 kW Stage V diesel engine with 3.8 l displacement, which is ideally suited in terms of power and consumption to the operating conditions in recycling and scrap.
In addition to the low operating costs, the G series is also synonymous with Sennebogen’s sophisticated 6th generation material handling technology based on decades of experience. Durability and reliability are guaranteed thanks to its robust components and intelligent design – a significant advantage for demanding continuous use.
The Maxcab comfort cab has also been redeveloped. All in all, the operator will be even more comfortable going forward. In addition to a fresh design, Sennebogen has also incorporated feedback from customers and dealers with regard to comfort and functionality into the new Maxcab.
The backrest has been raised, the seat area has been widened by 3 cm and the suspension has been reinforced to give the operator maximum seating comfort. Furthermore, the series standard air conditioning with a total of 12 individually adjustable air nozzles, and the view to the front and side have been optimized. The full-length windshield, which runs from the roof to the floor, is made of bullet proof glass as standard. All switch elements can be conveniently operated from the seat on a clearly arranged membrane keypad that is in the operator’s direct field of vision.
Customized and stored operator profiles not only increase efficiency in multi-shift operation, but also make the cab a very personal space for each operator – for fatigue-free and focused work with a feel-good guarantee all day long. The infinitely variable cab elevation – 2.80 m for the 822G – is and will remain standard for this Sennebogen material handler. Here in particular, the improvements are noticeable in the truest sense of the word, as the new control and particularly torsion-resistant design moves the Maxcab to the desired height even more stably and smoothly. | https://www.ivtinternational.com/news/construction/sennebogen-releases-22-tonne-g-series-recycling-material-handler.html | 2022-06-01T22:22:01Z | https://www.ivtinternational.com/news/construction/sennebogen-releases-22-tonne-g-series-recycling-material-handler.html | false | 1 |
InfuSystem Business Is Back On Track
Summary
- After stumbling throughout much of 2021 and early 2022 to meet analyst expectations, INFU has righted the ship and looks to have a strong back half of 2022 in store.
- Investors seemed to have been spooked by a delay in finalizing a contract with GE Healthcare, but the now-revealed details of the situation are extremely bullish.
- The company has been aggressive in buying back shares and hinted at the possibility of that program continuing to take advantage of current low prices.
- Management clearly signaled, on multiple occasions during their 1Q22 conference call, that their strong guidance still provides plenty of room for them to outperform those expectations.
- Once the company is officially removed from the Russell 2000 index, the stock should be free to climb to a more reasonable valuation, with at least 55%-90% near-term upside potential.
I have followed InfuSystem (NYSE:INFU) since my first investment in the company in December 2019. Despite the fact that INFU’s share price has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride, the company’s management team has been nothing but consistent in their execution of the business plan. And that execution continues in 2Q22 with the official signing of their new Master Service Agreement ("MSA") with GE Healthcare.
Yet, due to multiple circumstances I have covered in previous articles on INFU, and will summarize again in this one, shares stumbled throughout much of 2021 and into 2022. While this price depreciation was difficult to watch, I have confidence to now be overweight in the name given the fact that almost all apparent company-specific headwinds have passed, or will soon be gone.
In fact, the company now has multiple tailwinds in its favor, most of which I will discuss in more detail below, including:
- A short-term investment phase completed, now leading to significant top and bottom-line growth for years to come;
- Strong FY22 guidance, with additional upside likely;
- A buyback program in place, and being used aggressively at low prices; and
- A removal from the Russell 2000 index that should soon relieve related selling pressure.
I discuss all of these key points in more detail in my article below, as well as in a more summarized format on my recent Breakout Investors 10-Minute podcast on INFU with fellow Seeking Alpha contributor Florian Buschek.
Major Contract with GE Healthcare
It seems one of the main reasons INFU shares dropped precipitously since late 2021, is due to the unexpected delay in the company finalizing the execution of a big contract. Last year on the Q3 call, INFU management noted they had won this new business through a stringent process and expected the deal to be finalized by EOY21. Well, that didn’t happen. So, investors waited. Then, in early February, INFU released preliminary 4Q and FY21 results, noting that the contract had still not been finalized, although management appeared confident the contract signing had simply been delayed.
Although management proved to be absolutely correct in the long-run, investors seemed to become impatient and head for the exit. Shares plummeted nearly 30% immediately on this February news that the contract had yet to be finalized. That slide continued even further, as investors and institutions saw that INFU was unlikely to remain in the Russell 2000 index and began selling or hedging against that position (I will discuss this issue in more detail below, while also arguing that this scenario now creates the potential of significant future upside for INFU shares).
An Explanation For The Delay
Now that INFU is able to discuss their biomedical services deal with GE Healthcare, the company was able to explain the reason for the delay, as well as their broader strategic plan for this new indication. On the 1Q22 conference call, CEO Rich DiIorio noted that INFU had been working towards this biomedical services opportunity since 2020.
According to DiIorio, in 2020 INFU conducted an internal review that concluded its small biomedical services offerings had “high return characteristics” for the company. He further explained that the company realized this new service offering would require low capital investment by the company. This realization is what ultimately led to INFU acquiring two biomedical services companies, extending their capabilities beyond infusion pumps and significantly increasing INFU’s access into hospitals. As INFU’s management predicted, these acquisitions helped open doors to some hospital business, and DiIorio believes additional biomedical services opportunities will be converted into revenue for the company in the near future.
To that end, DiIorio stated: “Our biomedical services business will likely be the first to catch and pass the revenue contribution of our Oncology business.” To put that in perspective, the revenue contribution for oncology, by my estimate, is roughly $60M annually. For further perspective, note that INFU recorded just over $100M in TOTAL revenue in FY21. Thus, the biomedical services opportunity alone represents a stunning 60% growth driver over the next couple of years! To sum this up, let me quote CEO DiIorio from the conference call: “Our DME segment, now led by our biomed service business, is in position for long-term sustainable growth beyond anything that could have been imagined for the segment just one year ago.”
GE Deal Better Than Expected
In the Q&A on the 1Q22 call, DiIorio allayed my only concern with the GE contract and the delay. Specifically, I asked if the terms of the contract with GE were according to INFU’s previous expectations (I had slight concern that part of the delay may have been due to GE negotiating a deal less favorable to INFU). DiIorio remarked: “We wouldn't have signed the agreement if the terms weren't good. As tough as it would have been to come back to you guys and said we walked away from the agreement, we would have done it. At the end of the day, we want to grow, but we want to grow smartly and profitably.” As it turns out, the delay in signing the deal with GE was nothing more than GE having bigger issues to deal with—namely, splitting into three separate companies.
If anything, the GE deal was sweetened for INFU over and above their expectations when they first communicated to the market the possibility of this contract. In the end, INFU ended up signing an MSA, which gives them preferred vendor status with GE. That means INFU will have further opportunities with GE beyond the infusion pump space, which again is in part related to acquisitions the company made in 2021. In the meantime, INFU expects the current arrangement with GE to result in at least $10-$12M of annual revenue for 2023 (and perhaps about half that amount in FY22). But as the CEO noted: “There is definitely upside” beyond that.
Although investors clearly became impatient with INFU management, the team has clearly proven themselves. I believe this situation will strengthen Wall Street’s trust in the company. In the grand scheme of operating a business, INFU made a short-term pivot that will pay off in spades for years to come.
Pain Management Investment Paying Off
As discussed in more detail in some of my prior articles, in 2021 INFU took advantage of market changes in pain management. To wit, INFU was able to hire multiple, experienced salespeople, with an eye on increasing their share of that market. While this was obviously a positive move for the company overall, it was a drag on INFU’s 2021 financials. The reason is that INFU needed to hire, and therefore pay, these salespeople, while the revenue they generate takes at least 6-9 months to start hitting INFU’s books. In other words, for most of 2021, the work of these new reps primarily showed up on the expense side, temporarily blunting AEBITDA margins. But that has already started to change.
On the 1Q22 call, CEO DiIorio stated: “I actually think Pain is going to outpace Wound Care this year, even with the first couple of months being effectively offline with Omicron. They had such a good month in March that we're kind of seeing what this business can do without all the noise of COVID.” Further, DiIorio said he believes that the Pain & Wound combo (both relatively new and growing businesses for INFU) in FY22 could lead to nearly $20M in revenue. For comparison, I believe Pain & Wound in FY22 was likely below $10M in revenue. As I will discuss in the “Valuation” section below, INFU’s guidance is clearly factoring in potential disruptions due to another Covid wave, so it is possible—if not probable—that INFU could outpace this $20M number.
As with the biomedical services division, INFU’s 2021 investment into Pain will be paying multiples in revenue and AEBITDA for years to come, beginning in FY22.
Russell 2000 Removal
As I noted multiple times in this article, INFU faced several headwinds throughout 2021 and into 2022. So far, I have only mentioned the headwinds related to their investments in their business, which resulted in a disappointing 2021 and early 2022, but sets up INFU for at least a half-decade of robust top and bottom-line growth. Yet, in addition to that, and perhaps the strongest headwind INFU stock faced, was its impending removal from the Russell 2000 index (IWM).
The IWM tracks the smallest 2,000 publicly-traded US companies among the top 3,000 of such companies. In other words, among the top 3,000 publicly-traded US companies by market cap, the IWM tracks companies number 1,001 through 3,000. The IWM, therefore, is a good gauge of small-cap American companies. Because of this, many funds offer investors the option to mirror the IWM. To do that, these funds must buy companies that are added to the index annually and sell companies that are removed.
Officially, the IWM reconstitutes itself each year in late June. However, to make this a more orderly process and blunt the one-day volatility, many funds contract with third parties to prepare well in advance. This means that the volatility in terms of both price and volume is spread over several months instead of one day. Still, being added to the Russell 2000 index creates a months-long tailwind, while being removed does the exact opposite. And this is the situation INFU has been facing.
After INFU pre-announced 4Q21 results in February and the stock dropped, it became clear that INFU’s market cap would almost certainly fall below the threshold needed to remain in the IWM (likely to be around $250-275M this year). This, in turn, created artificial selling pressure on the stock as funds jockeyed to hedge for INFU’s expected upcoming removal. I call this pressure “artificial” because the selling was not related to INFU’s fundamental value, but simply to position funds to properly track the IWM.
The good news about this situation is that the selling pressure is almost finished. The IWM will officially be reconstituted on Friday, June 24. While there could still be some selling pressure into that date, and especially around that date, I believe the vast majority of that selling has already been completed. In other words, I am not holding off on going overweight the stock now, but will also look to add aggressively if there is volatility leading up to or on June 24. In any case, after June 24, INFU should be free to start moving back towards what I believe is a fair valuation, without this artificial selling pressure. In fact, I would not be surprised to see this IWM situation with INFU reverse itself in 2023. I say that because I believe by next year at this time, there is a high probability INFU will be added back to the IWM, in which case these same funds mentioned above will be creating artificial buying pressure. With that in mind, investors would be wise to be buying now in order to lock in long-term capital gain status on any shares they may desire to sell next year if the buying pressure leads to overvaluation for INFU.
While June 24 is the “magic date” on which any artificial selling pressure should be fully relieved, there is another component to this scenario that may blunt the selling pressure: INFU’s current buyback program, which to date, has been used aggressively.
Active Buyback Program
Mid-year 2021, INFU’s Board of Directors instituted a $20M stock repurchase program. And with the company’s share price lagging in 1Q22, for the reasons stated above, the buyback program was used aggressively. As of March 31, 2022, the company’s CFO, Barry Steele, noted the company had used $4.6M under this authorization to repurchase its stock. The vast majority of that—about $4M—came in 1Q22.
Further, on the 1Q22 call, Steele hinted the company would continue to strategically use that program if the stock remained undervalued. With 1Q22 operating cash flow increasing 54% year-over-year, it seems INFU is well-positioned to buy back shares under the current repurchase program. Given the CFO’s commentary and the strong increase in operating cash flow, I would not be at all surprised to learn that INFU is currently still repurchasing shares (we will not know for sure, of course, until the 2Q22 results are released). Regardless, it is quite possible that the selling from the IWM rebalancing will be at least partially offset by INFU buying back its own shares, another long-term positive move for current shareholders.
Risks
In my opinion, at current prices, the biggest risk for an INFU investor right now relates to the possible short-term volatility surrounding the IWM rebalancing situation mentioned in the section above. For me, personally, I am long-term focused with INFU, and so temporary movements are of little relevance. In fact, because of the short-term nature of this situation, I would view any major drop between now and June 24 as an incredible buying opportunity.
From a longer-term perspective, the biggest risk is that INFU stumbles operationally. We are talking about a company growing from well under $100M in revenue a couple of years ago to likely over $300M in the next five years. This will definitely create some challenges for the management team, as we saw already in 2021. Still, I believe management is up to the task given how they have handled the recent situation, and seeing in hindsight how the delay and short-term pivot is setting the company up for long-term success. It should also be noted that INFU plans to grow systematically and organically. Management has consistently highlighted this systematic approach; for example, they have noted that Lymphedema—their largest TAM opportunity—will not be a major focus until 2023, once they have integrated Pain & Wound Care as a normal part of their business operations. So while this operational risk remains, it seems INFU management is taking a wise approach to ensure the company grows smoothly and consistently.
Valuation
The typical valuation metric for companies in INFU’s space is enterprise value (EV) over adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA). I will, therefore, use this metric as my basis for valuation. Typically, companies like INFU trade for at least 8x EV/AEBITDA if they are a relatively stable business. For growing companies in this space, we can use 12x EV/AEBITDA to obtain a reasonable valuation. I would note that, in the past, when INFU was a reliable “cash cow,” constantly beating and raising and increasing cash flows—something I expect to see again throughout the remainder of FY22 and beyond—they traded for well above this 12x EV/AEBITDA multiple. All that to say that I believe the 10-12x EV/EBITDA I will be using is a fair and reasonable metric for INFU at this time.
Before providing some quantitative analysis, I believe it is important to highlight some qualitative comments from the recent 1Q22 call. Specifically, on multiple occasions, management noted their guidance of $118-$123M in top line revenue for FY22 contained numerous contingencies that, if avoided, could lead to INFU beating the $123M. CEO DiIorio stated: “We have accounted for the possibility of scenarios outside of our control. For example, another COVID surge that may affect Pain or any new long-term supply chain disruptions. Even if these were to occur, we are comfortable that we will be within our range of $118 million to $123 million of top line revenue.” Later, CFO Steele echoed that sentiment: “The way we build our model, we have contingencies in there that we sometimes need, sometimes we don't. So I think that we're giving ourselves the ability to be successful on the guidance, for sure.”
Further, the company indicated they expect AEBITDA margins to return to historic norms, with the run-rate to exit the year in the mid-20s range “with additional accretion potential to be gained as the GE revenue continues to grow to the annual amount of $10-$12M into 2023,” according to Steele. I believe these qualitative factors are important to consider and further support my valuation metric of 10-12x EV/AEBITDA as the base case for INFU.
Now, let’s focus on the quantitative aspect of valuing INFU. Given that INFU is a growing company, I tend to focus on my estimated run-rate numbers for the company. In other words, in valuing them now, I look out towards EOY22 to estimate their run-rate numbers at that time versus simply estimating their FY22 results. So, for example, in looking at EOY22, I estimate they will end 2022 on a $130M annual revenue run-rate. This compares to the FY22 guidance of $118-$123M of revenue (with, as noted, potential upside). I believe because of this potential upside, my $130M number is conservative.
In terms of run-rate AEBITDA, at the expected margin normalization of 25% AEBITDA by EOY22, we are looking at a run-rate of $32.5M AEBITDA. At a 10x multiple we arrive at an EV of $325M. We then factor out $38M of net debt to arrive at a market cap of $287M and a share price of $13.95, representing a return of 54%.
One-Year, 10x EV/EBITDA Model
Using these same assumptions at 12x EV/AEBITDA, we attain a share price of $17.10, or a 89% return.
One-Year, 12x EV/EBITDA Model
In short, I expect INFU shares to appreciate between 55-90% over the next 12 months.
Looking further down the road, and as I have highlighted in previous articles (please refer to them for the detailed assumptions, which have only been strengthened by management’s recent bullish commentary and the company’s performance), I believe within the next 3-5 years, INFU can near $300M in annual revenue. In three years (around EOY25), I think it is reasonable that INFU could be around $250M in annual run-rate revenue. I also believe margins could reach (perhaps even exceed) 27% for AEBITDA.
Running these numbers, and using the same assumptions as above, I have INFU’s market cap at $637M at 10x EV/AEBITDA and at $772M for 12x EV/AEBITDA.
Three-Year, 10x EV/EBITDA Model
Three-Year, 12x EV/EBITDA Model
Based on these assumptions, I value INFU between $30.90-$37.50/share at that time. These numbers represent a share price appreciation of 240% and 315%, respectively.
Obviously, between now and EOY24, we will have greater clarity into INFU’s potential. In the meantime, this valuation exercise provides me with a sense of what INFU shares can do and provide me with a model to help determine my portfolio’s percent allocation to INFU. As you can imagine, with an expected short-term (less than one year) gain of at least 40%, and with what I believe is extremely limited downside potential (in both price and time horizon), INFU is currently an overweight position in my portfolio. Further, since I expect the stock can quite conceivably triple over the next three years, I expect INFU to remain a core position in my portfolio for the foreseeable future.
Conclusion
The stumble in INFU shares over the past nine months provides investors with an excellent opportunity to acquire shares in a fundamentally strong company growing at roughly 20% annually in terms of revenue, and even better in terms of AEBITDA due to its strong operating leverage. The headwinds that faced INFU during this timeframe will soon be entirely relieved, with multiple tailwinds now likely. With an aggressive buyback program in place and operating cash flows shining, I believe INFU will likely return to a more reasonable valuation for a company in its space growing at such a robust pace. With that in mind, I expect short-term gains between 55-90%, with a triple possible over the next three years.

FAIRFIELD, Calif. (KRON) — Authorities have warned Fairfield residents after a bear was “loitering” in the city on Tuesday, the Fairfield Police Department announced in a Nixle alert. The bear was reported to be in the area of Hilborn Road and Martin Road.
Police said bear sightings in and around Fairfield may seem unique. However, rather recently, there was a bear sighting on the front porch of a home, KRON4 reported last month.
On May 14, the home where the bear was spotted in the city was in the area of Woodcreek Park on Astoria Drive. The location of the bear sighting reported on Tuesday is roughly two miles northeast of the home where a bear was spotted in May.
Police did not report any of the aforementioned bear sightings resulting in any human encounters or injuries. The California Department of Fish & Wildlife have been notified of Tuesday’s bear sighting.
As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, authorities did not provide information on the bear’s location. Police advise residents to leave the bear alone and not approach the wild animal. | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/bear-sighting-in-fairfield-prompts-police-warning/ | 2022-06-01T22:23:58Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/bear-sighting-in-fairfield-prompts-police-warning/ | true | null |
A LIFESAVING charity stalwart who transformed air ambulance services across the east of England has been recognised by the Queen.
Former chief executive of East Anglian Air Ambulance, Patrick Peal will receive an MBE for his services to emergency care in the region.
The 68-year-old is due to accept his Member of the Order of the British Empire from a senior member of the Royal Family during an investiture at Buckingham Palace in due course.
The palace announced Mr Peal’s honour is in recognition of his “visionary approach” and commitment to both regional and national air ambulance services over the past 21 years.
Mr Peal helped to turn the charity from its infancy, with just one helicopter in use once a week, to a fully-fledged helicopter emergency medical service, flying 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Instrumental in gaining national recognition for air ambulance charities, the former chief executive also spearheaded the creation of Air Ambulances UK, a charity representing all 23 air ambulance organisations in the UK.
To date, the East Anglian Air Ambulance charity has completed 33,549 life-saving missions since it launched 22 years ago, supporting thousands of people across East Anglia.
More than 100,000 patients and their loved ones have benefitted and millions of pounds have been raised to support the charity since its conception.
Mr Peal said: “Receiving this accolade is humbling. EAAA wouldn’t be held in such high regard and give so much back to the community if it weren’t for the hard work and dedication from each and every member of the team.
“I feel this award is a tribute to all our staff, volunteers, supporters and patients too.
“From front line doctors, paramedics, and pilots, to the ground staff working, we have achieved great things together, by committing, sharing the same vision, and respecting one another.”
He added: “Air ambulance services save lives, the more we can do to support them to fly and have the resources they need, the more lives they can save.
“I have had the honour of playing a part in this along with my colleagues who, like me, are determined to keep our incredible teams in the air.”

Valaris hit with drillship contract termination
Valaris (NYSE:VAL) said Wednesday that Equinor (EQNR) delivered a termination notice for the drilling contract that had been awarded to its DS-11 drillship, effective at the end of June.
Valaris (VAL) said its $2.5B total contract backlog as of May 2 included $428M related to the DS-11 contract.
The company said it will receive an early termination fee that is "more than sufficient" to cover expenses and commitments it incurred on the project.
"The floater market and dayrates have improved meaningfully since this contract was entered into in July 2021, and we expect there will be other attractive projects for a high specification drillship like Valaris DS-11 with similar or earlier commencement dates," the company said.
Valaris (VAL) recently reported a Q1 GAAP loss of $0.51/share on revenues of $318M. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3844777-valaris-hit-with-drillship-contract-termination | 2022-06-01T22:24:34Z | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3844777-valaris-hit-with-drillship-contract-termination | false | null |
These Are the Counties In the Asheville, NC Metro Area Where COVID-19 Is Growing the Slowest
After adding over 699,000 new cases throughout the last week, the U.S. now has more than 82.6 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. There have been more than 990,000 COVID-19-related deaths -- the highest death toll of any country.
New cases continue to rise at a steady rate. In the past week, there were an average of 31.1 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 Americans -- essentially unchanged from the week prior, when there were an average of 26.7 daily new coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.
While COVID-19 has spread to nearly every part of the country, cities continue to be the sites of major outbreaks. Experts agree that the virus is more likely to spread in group settings where large numbers of people routinely have close contact with one another, such as colleges, nursing homes, bars, and restaurants. Metropolitan areas with a high degree of connectivity between different neighborhoods and a large population may be particularly at-risk.
In the 50 largest metro areas, the incidence of coronavirus grew at an average rate of 36.8 new cases a day per 100,000 residents in the past week -- 25.1% greater than the case growth in all counties outside of metro areas.
The Asheville, NC, metro area consists of Buncombe County, Henderson County, Haywood County, and one other county. In the past week, there were an average of 32.4 new coronavirus cases every day per 100,000 Asheville residents, in line with the national figure. The metro area’s average daily case growth in the most recent week is an increase from the week prior, when there were an average of 26.9 daily new cases per 100,000 Asheville residents.
The spread of coronavirus depends on a variety of factors and can vary even between neighboring counties. Within the Asheville metro area, COVID-19 is growing the slowest in Haywood County. There were an average of 21.5 new cases per day per 100,000 residents in Haywood County during the past week, the least of the four counties in Asheville with available data.
Case growth in the Asheville metro area varies at the county level. In Buncombe County, for example, there were an average of 39.7 new cases per day per 100,000 residents in the past week -- the most of any county in Asheville and more than the case growth rate in Haywood County.
While Haywood County has the slowest case growth in the Asheville area, it does not have the lowest incidence of cases overall. As of May 26, there were a total of 21,730.3 confirmed cases per 100,000 residents in Haywood County, the second fewest of the four counties in the metro area. For comparison, the U.S. has so far reported 25,463.1 cases per 100,000 Americans nationwide.
The pandemic has led to the closure of thousands of consumer-facing businesses around the country. These changes have led to widespread job loss and record unemployment. These changes have led to widespread job loss and record unemployment. In Haywood County, unemployment peaked at 14.8% in May 2020. As of June 2021, the county's unemployment rate was 4.4%.
To determine the county in every metropolitan area where COVID-19 is growing the slowest, 24/7 Wall St. compiled and reviewed data from state and local health departments. We ranked counties according to the average number of new daily COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents in the seven days ending May 26. To estimate the incidence of COVID-19 at the metropolitan level, we aggregated data from the county level using boundary definitions from the U.S. Census Bureau. Population data used to adjust case and death totals came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey and are five-year estimates. Unemployment data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is not seasonally adjusted.

US Interior Secretary Haaland tests positive for COVID-19
(AP) – U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has tested positive for COVID-19 and has mild symptoms, the agency said Wednesday.
Haaland, 61, is isolating in Nevada, where she took part in a roundtable discussion Tuesday in Las Vegas about clean energy production on public lands, the Interior Department said in a statement.
Haaland began experiencing coronavirus symptoms on Wednesday and tested positive. She is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots. The statement said she expects to recover quickly.
Haaland canceled travel plans elsewhere in the U.S. West and is working remotely.
Haaland last tested negative on Monday during a visit to the White House and was not in close contact with President Joe Biden, the statement said. Other people who might have been in close contact with Haaland during her travels are being notified.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- A Charleston family is getting the chance to reconnect thanks to a new show on Disney+.
The Wilsondebriano Family will be featured on ‘Disney Family Reboot,’ an upcoming show by executive producers Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
Parents Monique and Chevalo launched the ‘Charleston Gourmet Burger Company,’ an all-natural, gluten-free line of burger marinades and sauces, several years ago. The products are available in retail locations across the country including Whole Foods, Costco, Walmart, and more.
But, with all the work of a new startup, Monique and Chevalo found themselves losing touch with their daughters, Ashley and Amber. That’s where ‘Disney Family Reboot’ comes in.
Each episode of the show follows a different family as they take time away from their busy schedules to “reconnect and rebuild their family bonds” on a week-long vacation. For the Wilsondebrianos that means a week of games and dancing on a remote farm.
The family must leave their electronic devices behind and find their accommodations the “old-fashioned” way using a paper map. Once they have arrived, they are greeted by their trip guide, Spirit, who helps them through the first activity of finding the key to their house for the week.
As the week progresses, each day is filled with different games and activities meant to strengthen communication and collaboration, all while having fun. The family also participates in deeper conversations about how to reconnect and benefit most from the mini-vacation.
“The families leave the journey completely “rebooted” – more connected, happier, and ready to take on their busy lives at home again, but with an entirely new outlook,” the show’s description reads.
All six episodes will be available for streaming beginning June 15.

Burn more calories without extra work in the gym with this simple workout hack
Are you an avid gym-goer who loves a good weights sesh but doesn’t have time for cardio? Great, but it might be that you’re not getting in your recommended dose of weekly cardiovascular activity.
Upping your step count is one sure-fire way of doing this. And while the 10,000 daily steps goal is the general rule of thumb for keeping on top of physical health, some studies have suggested that logging as little as 7,000 daily steps can still go a long way toward bettering your health.
According to results recently published in the JAMA Network Open , people who walked at least 7,000 steps a day were 50-70% less likely to die of any cause over the next decade than those who took fewer steps.
So how do you achieve this if you only have enough time per day to complete your scheduled resistance training? Brock Ashby, a body transformation coach , PT and fitness influencer with almost 250,000 followers on Instagram , has a simple answer.
In a recent Instagram post, Brock says instead of sitting on your phone waiting for your next set, use your rest periods as an opportunity to get your step count up.
"A rest period is a rest period, and the focus of it, obviously, is to rest - but if you usually sit on your phone during rest periods, get up and move," he recommends in the post. "You can still be on your phone, doing whatever you need to do, but walking around will help you be more physically active."
This, he claims, could up your step count to an extra 2,000-4,000 per day. "If you struggle to get your steps up throughout the day because you have a sedentary job, this can be a good strategy to get your steps up," he adds.
Of course, you can still go for a run or a jog if you want to increase your daily step count, but that will always be an extra effort, as opposed to Brock's method, which sneaks in additional steps without the effort. Depending on what workout you like doing, you can still wear running shoes for activities or use workout trainers / cross-training shoes . | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2619648401628/burn-more-calories-without-extra-work-in-the-gym-with-this-simple-workout-hack | 2022-06-01T22:34:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2619648401628/burn-more-calories-without-extra-work-in-the-gym-with-this-simple-workout-hack | true | 4 |
Instagram adds Amber Alert feature -- Michigan officials hopeful it will help
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) -There have been 20 Amber Alerts in the state of Michigan since 2017. Of those 20, all of the children were found before or after the alert was sent. In many cases, social media played a role in tracking them down.
Starting Wednesday, Amber Alerts will now show up in our Instagram feeds.
Jolene Hardesty, with the Missing Children’s Clearing House, has seen her fair share of missing children cases. Her unit -- a branch of the Michigan State Police -- said she thinks this new feature could aid in Amber Alert efforts.
Hardesty has been a part of the department since 2017. She has a lot of stories but one sticks with her the most.
It was her first Amber Alert. A Detroit child was abducted by her own mother’s boyfriend. The man drove himself and the child to Ohio while he was armed with a machete.
“So I can only imagine this child being so terrified of this big machete -- it was probably bigger than she was,” Hardesty recalled.
She remembers calling Ohio officials to send out an Amber Alert. They watched as the abductor drove back over Michigan’s border. The child was recovered and unharmed.
“It was such a rush of, ‘Oh, my gosh, we all did this. All of us together, we did this as a team,’” Hardesty recalled. “It was great. There’s no better feeling.”
She’s been chasing that rush ever since. Since she started her work in 2017, Michigan Amber Alerts have had a 100% recovery rate. Now that Amber Alerts will be posted on Instagram, she’s hopeful they’ll reach more people.
“The saying is a picture is worth a thousand words. If you have a picture of a missing child, most people are visual so they’ll be able to take that picture and associate it with what they’re seeing in their community,” said Hardesty.
She adds that there’s power in numbers. “A thousand words is now thousands and thousands of shares.”
The more a missing child’s picture is shared, the better chances police can locate them. She’s also hopeful the Instagram feature will reach different audiences -- like kids.
“They want their friends found just as much just as much as the parents and the families of these missing children,” said Hardesty. “I would think that having a younger audience base would help share information.”
Of the Amber Alerts in 2019, 6% of them were of Native American Children according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That number is believed to be higher as there is little known data existing on the number of missing indigenous children.
There are 12 federally recognized tribes in Michigan. Hardesty said she believes Instagram can help these cases reach larger audiences faster. That’s important because the first hours a child goes missing are the most crucial.
“I think that this is going to help not only the citizens of Michigan, but also our Native American citizens, our Native American partners.”
The Instagram feature launched Wednesday and will be available in 25 countries.
As of 2021, Amber Alerts have been directly responsible for recovering 1,111 children in the United States.

Texas officials had said a teacher propped a door open at Robb Elementary in Uvalde just before the gunman entered and carried out a mass shooting — but they now acknowledge that the woman closed the door, after the teacher's attorney spoke out.
It's the latest shift in a narrative that has continued to change since last Tuesday — an extraordinary process that has seen officials repeatedly correcting earlier statements, after they're contradicted by new information.
A teacher didn't leave the school door propped open
The most detailed official timeline of the shooting emerged on Friday, when Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw told journalists that the gunman entered Robb Elementary through a back door that a teacher had left propped open. Moments earlier, he said, the teacher had been using the door to get her cellphone.
But that version of events was clarified on Tuesday. The teacher's lawyer told the San Antonio Express-News that the teacher had kicked a rock away from the push-bar door and pulled it shut after recognizing the danger of the situation. She thought it would automatically lock — but it didn't, her lawyer said.
Attorney Don Flanary told the Express-News that the teacher, who hasn't been named publicly, used a rock to prop open the door while she briefly left the building to bring food from the parking lot to the school just before lunch last Tuesday. She then saw Salvador Ramos crash his truck in a ditch near the school, Flanary said, and went inside to get her phone and call 911.
The teacher was on the phone with the emergency service when she emerged again from the school and was confronted with a frightening shift in the circumstances, as the truck's driver approached the school with a rifle.
"The funeral people next door are yelling, 'He's got a gun,'" Flanary told NPR on Wednesday. "And then she looks over and sees him throw a backpack over the fence and then sees him with the [AR-15-style rifle] slung over his shoulder, sees him hop the fence and start running towards her. So she immediately ran back inside, kicked the rock out and slammed the door."
The teacher, who has a grandson who attends Robb, told the 911 operator that the gunman was firing. When she closed the door, she thought it would lock itself. It didn't.
The attack left the teacher traumatized and shaking, Flanary said, noting that she had heard the gunman firing outside the school, then inside — and did her best to find a place to hide. She wound up across the hall from where the gunman cornered children and teachers.
She decided to go public with her account, Flanary said, after McCraw said the teacher had left the outer door open. When she contacted the Texas Department of Public Safety about that statement, Flanary said, the agency confirmed that video clearly showed her kicking the rock out of the way and slamming the door.
Texas officials confirm that the teacher shut the door
After the teacher's account emerged, the Texas DPS confirmed the essential details in her lawyer's statement.
"We did verify she closed the door," Travis Considine, chief communications officer for Texas DPS, told The Associated Press. He added that the door should have locked when it closed, but it didn't: "The door did not lock. We know that much and now investigators are looking into why it did not lock."
The method the gunman used to bring a powerful rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition into the school is a key detail that reverberates far beyond Uvalde, as other schools look at how they can prevent similar attacks. For the same reason, the police response is also being closely scrutinized.

BETTENDORF, Iowa — A ratification vote is currently underway between the United Steelworkers Union and Arconic. Voting began at the Waterfront Convention Center early Wednesday morning at 5 a.m. and will last until 7 p.m.
USW and Arconic reached a tentative contract agreement on May 14 following a rally by union workers outside of Arconic locations.
USW Local 105 said the new contract lasts four years and includes a 7% raise in the first year, followed by a 4.5% raise in the next three years. The raises represent an average cumulative increase of $6.54 per hour or 22.1% over the course of the four-year deal.
On May 14, USW Local 105 released the following statement regarding the new proposal:
"We've reached a Tentative Agreement (with) Arconic that is fully endorsed by your bargaining committee. Thanks to everyone's solidarity and support, we achieved a fair deal!"
"We believe this agreement accomplishes our goal of rewarding our employees for their commitment as essential workers while enabling our business to grow for future sustainability," said John Riches, the Arconic Davenport Works Communications and Public Affairs Manager.
The proposal eliminates the plant-level "Pay for Performance Plans" in favor of wage increases. USW said the Pay for Performance Plans were first negotiated in 1993 to replace an underperforming profit-sharing plan. The payout portions were tied to corporate financial performance and business unit location measurements.
"(The plans) did well during some periods, over time they became less transparent, profit definitions repeatedly changed, and once achieved, thresholds were ratcheted up to reduce payments. For example, the Davenport plan did nothing in 1Q 2022, despite profits," wrote USW in a proposal summary obtained by News 8.
USW said the proposal maintains current health care plans with no premium increases. The union also said the agreement improves the current pensions for workers. These include "multipliers" for employees hired before June 23, 2006 and employees hire on or after June 23, 2006 and before January 1, 2020 will be increased by $6 per month per year of service — effective for retirements occurring on or after May 16, 2022.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day would be added as a paid holiday along with an additional $4,000 in signing bonuses for union workers — $2,000 upon signing and $2,000 in January 2023.
"The hourly wage increases are to make up for the termination," Local 105 wrote May 15 on Facebook. "Wages are something we can count on in overtime and our vacation rate. We could never depend on PFP which is variable pay, to pay out. We can depend on our wages."
USW and Arconic have been negotiating a new contract since April 25 in Pittsburgh, according to Local 105 union leader Lee Shaffer.
On May 12, union workers overwhelmingly voted in favor of authorizing a strike had a tentative agreement not been reached by the noon deadline on May 15. | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/united-steelworkers-union-arconic-ratification-contract-vote/526-7886dcbf-1574-4eb4-8471-40631b582c83 | 2022-06-01T22:53:11Z | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/united-steelworkers-union-arconic-ratification-contract-vote/526-7886dcbf-1574-4eb4-8471-40631b582c83 | false | 1 |

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — During an afternoon rehearsal of John Leguizamo’s “Kiss My Aztec!,” actor Joel Perez bursts into laughter during a raunchy scene with co-star Krystina Alabado. They have probably done it hundreds of times. They know it by heart. But the scene is still so funny that Perez loses it for a minute, making the whole cast and crew laugh.
“Keep going,” directs Tony Taccone from his seat. And after a couple deep breaths, things move on.
With a book by Leguizamo and Taccone, “Kiss My Aztec!” begins previews on Wednesday at Hartford Stage before opening on June 10. This is its third stop after previous engagements at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and La Jolla Playhouse in California, and Broadway-veteran Leguizamo hopes it soon takes “the B way” and makes it home to New York.
“I think it’s so funny,” Leguizamo tells The Associated Press right before rehearsal. “You’re gonna laugh your ass off and, at the same time, you’re going to be educated.”
The show travels back to the 16th century, as a group of Aztecs lead the resistance against Spanish invaders. With a fierce female warrior at the helm and a not-so-fierce clown in tow, they mount a scrappy attack, and get entangled with royalty, colonizers, pop stars, even puppets.
The music by Benjamin Velez — with lyrics by Velez, David Kamp and Leguizamo — fuse salsa, gospel, hip-hop, funk and merengue, as well as some flamenco and paso doble for the Spaniards. The choreography is by Mayte Natalio.
Like “Latin History for Morons,” Leguizamo’s last one-man play on Broadway, “Kiss My Aztec!” is a hilarious celebration of Hispanic and Latin culture. But unlike the others, it is his first full-scale musical and the comedian stays behind the scenes this time around.
“I can’t sing like that, or dance like that,” the Tony Award-winner explains, noting that he’s managed to do some musical work — including Disney’s animated film “Encanto,” where he voiced Bruno — with a lot of help, patience and auto-tune. “I mean, like, for ‘Encanto’, poor (song-writer) Lin-Manuel (Miranda) had to spend hours trying to get me in that pocket. He got me, though, he got me in the pocket,” he adds with a laugh.
Besides Perez and Alabado, the cast includes Chad Carstarphen, Eddie Cooper, Richard Ruiz Henry, Z Infante, Jesús E. Martínez, Maria-Christina Oliveras, Desireé Rodriguez, Matt Saldivar and Brittany Williams. Angelica Beliard, KC Dela Cruz, Nicholas Caycedo and Geena Quintos.
“These actors are ridiculously talented,” says Leguizamo, calling them a “quadruple threat” who can act, sing, dance and are funny.
The Colombian American actor and playwright, whose Broadway credits include “Freak” and “Ghetto Klown,” says he started working on the musical years ago, when he was doing research for “Latin History for Morons.”
“It’s interesting because obviously, ‘Latin History for Morons’ opened up the world of our great, incredible contributions to the world — there wouldn’t be an Industrial Revolution without our corn, without our potatoes,” says Leguizamo. “Our gold that was stolen from us created the Enlightenment era, and the Renaissance was helped by the wealth that was stolen from us. So I learned so much, and I wanted to go back and start telling our history. This musical is the birth of Latin man, which is the conquest.”
Going from doing monologues to a full-blown musical was a “big challenge,” Leguizamo admits. “All I had to do before is check with myself: ‘What’s your schedule?’ ‘Oh, I am available.’ ‘Oh, great. Let’s start tomorrow!’” he laughs. “This is different, this is a lot of moving parts.”
With its bawdy humor, adult themes and some salty language, the show may not be suited for all audiences. But Leguizamo hopes it to be the next big thing in musical comedies.
“I want it to be like ‘The Book of Mormon,’ like ‘Spamalot,’” he says. “I want it to be one of the funniest shows ever written.”

‘I’m a circus freak now’: Latrell targets Origin return after US trip
By Dan Walsh
Latrell Mitchell is back in the country and targeting a State of Origin return after a two-week stint in the US to treat his injured hamstring with renowned specialist Bill Knowles.
Mitchell flew into Sydney from Los Angeles on Thursday morning following 16 days stateside to repair the tendon tear in his left hamstring that has ruled him out of the Blues series opener next week.
A South Sydney return could come as early as next Friday’s clash with the Titans on the Gold Coast, though Mitchell said he wouldn’t pencil in a comeback date until he returns to team training.
“We’ll see how we go. I’ll get back to the team, train with them and see how we go,” Mitchell said.
“I can’t wait to get back to the boys and start training. Obviously we’ve got the bye this week and Origin, so good luck to those fellas, but I’m keen to get back in a team environment.”
If Mitchell sits out the round 14 trip to the Glitter Strip a return the following week against St George Illawarra would still give him an 80-minute hit out before Origin II in Perth on June 26.
Mitchell documented much of his training with Knowles and travels throughout the US via social media, while the Rabbitohs also sent a member of their digital media department along to film their star fullback’s recovery as well.
Knowles, who has worked with Tiger Woods, NFL quarterback great Peyton Manning and former New York Yankees favourite Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, had Mitchell performing a series of eye-catching balancing and stretching exercises.
“I’m a circus freak now,” Mitchell quipped of one video that showed him twirling hula hoops on a bar while balancing on a bosu ball.
“He’s worked with the best, (Knowles’ record) speaks for itself,” Mitchell said. “Bill’s a great bloke and he was awesome to work with over the last two weeks. He made it easy being away from home.
“It was a bit different but it’s just something I can hold onto for the rest of my career I think. I’m pretty excited to see where it goes.”
Knowles’ fee for Mitchell’s two-week stint with him reportedly clocks in at just under $10,000 and is counted under medical expenses rather than the Rabbitohs’ football department cap.
Mitchell’s absence from Brad Fittler’s side, along with fellow 2021 backline star Tom Trbojevic, has seen Kotoni Staggs called up to partner Jack Wighton for NSW.
Mitchell politely declined to comment on the surprise axing of his close friend Josh Addo-Carr from the Blues line-up.

Residential school survivors met with Roman Catholic bishops today to discuss what they expect from Pope Francis’s visit to Canada next month.
The meeting followed two days of talks among some members of the National Indian Residential School Circle of Survivors about the visit and reconciliation with the church.
Ken Young, the former Assembly of First Nations regional chief for Manitoba, says he was satisfied with the Pope’s apology for the church’s role in residential schools in Rome earlier this year.
Young says he has hope the pontiff will also say the right thing when he comes to Canada.
The group of residential school survivors wants the papal visit expanded to more locations beyond the scheduled stops in Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut during the trip from July 24 to July 29.
Richard Smith, the archbishop of Edmonton, says the bishops of Canada are committed to work with survivors and all Indigenous people during the visit and moving forward.

As gas prices soar, Biden leans toward visiting Saudi Arabia
President Joe Biden is leaning towards making a visit to Saudi Arabia — a trip that would likely bring him face-to-face with the Saudi crown prince he once shunned as a killer.
The White House is weighing a visit to Saudi Arabia that would also include a meeting of the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates) as well as Egypt, Iraq and Jordan, according to a person familiar with White House planning. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the yet-to-be finalized plans.
It comes at a moment when overriding U.S. strategic interests in oil and security have pushed the administration to rethink the arms-length stance that Biden pledged to take with the Saudis as a candidate for the White House.
Any meeting between Biden and de facto Saudi ruler Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a Biden visit to the Middle East could offer hope of some relief for U.S. gasoline consumers, who are wincing as a squeaky-tight global oil supply drives up prices. Biden would be expected to meet with Prince Mohammed, who is often referred to by his initials, MBS — if the Saudi visit happens, according to the person familiar with the deliberations.
Such a meeting could also ease one of the most fraught and uncertain periods in a partnership between Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, and the United States, the world’s top economic and military power, that has stood for more than three-quarters of a century.
But it also risks a public humbling for the U.S. leader, who in 2019 pledged to make a “pariah” of the Saudi royal family over the 2018 killing and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a newspaper critic of many of the brutal ways that Prince Mohammed operates.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday declined to comment on whether Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia. Biden is expected to travel to Europe at the end of June. He could tack on a stop in Saudi Arabia to meet with Prince Mohammed, Saudi King Salman and other leaders. The president would also likely visit Israel should he extend his upcoming travels to include Saudi Arabia.
Last week, the White House confirmed that NSC Middle East coordinator Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein, a senior adviser for energy security at the State Department, were recently in the region. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone Monday with his Saudi counterpart.
McGurk and Hochstein, as well as Tim Lenderking, the U.S. special envoy for Yemen, have repeatedly visited Saudi Arabia for talks with Saudi officials about energy supplies, Biden administration efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal and Saudi’s war in Yemen, recently calmed by a cease-fire.
For Biden, the political dangers of offering his hand to Prince Mohammed include the potential for an embarrassing last-minute public rebuff from a still-offended crown prince known for imperious, harsh actions. Since Prince Mohammed became crown prince in 2017, that has included detaining his own royal uncles and cousins as well as Saudi rights advocates, and, according to the U.S. intelligence community, directing Khashoggi’s killing. Saudi Arabia denies involvement by the crown prince.
Still, Biden stood ready to greet the prince at last October’s G20 summit in Rome, but Prince Mohammed did not attend.
And any Biden climbdown from his passionate human-rights pledge — Saudi rulers would “pay the price” for Khashoggi’s killing, Biden vowed on the debate stage during his campaign — risks more disillusionment for Democratic voters. They have watched Biden struggle to accomplish his domestic agenda in the face of a strong GOP minority in the Senate.
Democrats appear less vocal now in demands that the U.S. take a hard line with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince. Near-record gas prices are endangering their prospects in the November midterm election.
A leading congressional critic of the Saudi government, Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia, said in an email the United States “should reassess its unconditional support for Saudi Arabia.” But he and other Democrats are not publicly telling Biden he shouldn’t meet with Prince Mohammed.
Lawmakers point especially to Saudi Arabia’s refusal despite months of Western appeals to veer from an oil production cap brokered largely between the Saudi kingdom and oil-producer Russia. The production cap is adding to oil supply shortfalls stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
At the same time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron have privately urged Biden to work to soothe U.S.-Saudi relations as has Israel, which sees the kingdom as an essential player in countering Iran.
Besides helping to keep gas prices high for consumers globally, the tight supply helps Russia get better prices for the oil and gas it is selling to fund its invasion of Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited the Saudi kingdom Tuesday, even as talk of a possible Biden-Prince Mohammed meeting grew in Washington.
Frequent, warm visits among Saudi, Russian and Chinese officials during the freeze between Biden and the Saudi crown prince have heightened Western concern that Saudi Arabia is breaking from Western strategic interests.
The United States for decades has ensured U.S. or allied aircraft carriers, troops and trainers and missile batteries remain deployed in defense of Saudi Arabia and its oil fields, and in defense of other Gulf states. The military commitment recognizes that a stable global oil market and a Gulf counterbalance to Iran are in U.S. strategic interests.
From Saudi Arabia, the United States is looking “for real assurances that it is going to be firmly aligned with the United States internationally, and not drift toward or hedge by trying to have comparable relationships with Russia and China. That goes beyond just oil,” said Dan Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel. Shapiro is an advocate of bilateral Abraham accords that have helped establish closer ties between some Arab states and Israel.
“The United States needs to have some assurance that it’s going to provide those security guarantees and it has a real partner that’s going to be like a partner,” said Shapiro, now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council.
Officials in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, for their part, often see Biden as the latest of several U.S. presidents to neglect the U.S. military’s longstanding protector role in the Gulf, as Washington tries to extricate itself from Middle East conflicts to focus on China.
Those Gulf security worries may be eased by the U.S. move last year bringing control of its forces in Israel under U.S. Central Command. That effectively increases interaction between Israel’s U.S.-equipped military and Arab forces under the U.S. military umbrella, Shapiro said.
Deputy Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman visited CENTCOM headquarters in Florida last month. Regional coordination was one of the main topics, including, Shapiro said, the possibility of such steps as coordinating the Middle East’s air defense capabilities.
Blinken and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan also met last month with the Saudi defense official. Sullivan said he talked energy. CIA Director William Burns visited Prince Mohammed in Saudi Arabia in April.
Biden administration officials bristle at the notion that a stepped-up engagement is simply about getting the Saudis to help ease gas prices. Jean-Pierre said last week after McGurk and Hochstein’s most recent travels to the region that the idea that the White House is asking the Saudis to pump more oil “is simply wrong” and “a misunderstanding of both the complexity of that issue, as well as our multifaceted discussions with the Saudis.”
“The president’s words still stand,” she added Wednesday, of Biden’s pledge that the Saudis would “pay a price.”

WOODSTOCK, Ill. (AP) — A suburban Chicago woman who pleaded guilty in her 5-year-old son's beating death cannot challenge her conviction and 35-year sentence, a judge ruled Wednesday
JoAnn Cunningham, 39, of Crystal Lake, claimed in her March petition for post-conviction relief that she suffered from postpartum depression and psychosis when she killed her son. Cunningham claimed she was “seeing demons and hearing voices” at the time of her son AJ’s death.
Authorities say Cunningham killed AJ on April 15, 2019, after she became angry about soiled underwear that he had tried to hide. She forced the boy to stand in a cold shower for at least 20 minutes, hit him in the head with the shower head, then put him to bed cold, wet and naked, according to authorities.
AJ's body was found wrapped in plastic in a shallow grave near the family’s home in Crystal Lake.
McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt presided over her negotiated plea on Dec. 5, 2019, and sentencing on July 16, 2020. Andrew Freund, AJ's father, also pleaded guilty in his death and is serving a 30-year prison sentence.
Wilbrandt wrote in his ruling that Cunningham’s arguments in her petition “do not provide the ‘gist’ of a meritorious claim of substantial deprivation of a federal or state constitutional right and that they are patently without merit.”
Cunningham argued that no witnesses were called to testify on her behalf; she was not allowed to testify herself, nor did she provide a confession; she was not read her Miranda rights; and she was “illiterate” as to her constitutional rights, The Northwest Herald reported.
Wilbrandt wrote in his ruling, that witnesses were called on her behalf and defense attorneys presented “wide-ranging evidence” of her history of drug abuse and substance abuse treatment. She also provided a lengthy statement addressing her “long-standing history of both prescribed and illegal drug use,” the judge wrote.
Wilbrandt also dismissed as “without merit” Cunningham’s claim that her 35-year prison sentence is “cruel and unusual punishment."
Cunningham filed the handwritten petition from prison without the help of an attorney. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Judge-denies-woman-s-challenge-to-conviction-in-17213496.php | 2022-06-01T23:25:17Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Judge-denies-woman-s-challenge-to-conviction-in-17213496.php | true | 15 |
PHOENIX — Arizona Republican lawmakers heard Tuesday from members of the Texas-based conservative group that provided research for a widely debunked documentary that alleges widespread voter fraud led to former President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election.
Cell phone data analysis done by True the Vote was used by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza in his film “2000 Mules” to try to show that Democratic operatives were paid to illegally collect and drop off ballots in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The film has drawn crowds of Trump backers to theaters nationwide but had been widely panned by independent fact-checkers, including at The Associated Press.
The AP found that flawed analysis of cellphone location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage was used to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election nearly 18 months after it ended.
The group used GPS data to identify cell phones they say were repeatedly in close proximity to ballot drop boxes and also made repeated visits to nonprofit organizations that True the Vote claims could be involved in illegal ballot collection activities. True the Vote claims those cell phones must have been carried by people who were illegally collecting ballots and turning them in but has provided no video of anyone making multiple visits to a drop box or evidence that they had ballots.
Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, and her associate Gregg Phillips presented their findings to eight Republican lawmakers in a livestreamed meeting at the state Capitol, but they did not present new evidence to support their claims.
Phillips said news stories pointing out the lack of proof were written by “journalistic terrorists.” But he declined to outline the methods, calling them “proprietary." Engelbrecht declined to identify the nonprofits used in the analysis, which she said would interfere with law enforcement.
Phillips said he turned over data to Attorney General Mark Brnovich's office a year ago, but the AG's office told him it never received it.
Like many such efforts since Trump's loss, "2000 Mules" used a tiny kernel of truth to help bolster its conspiracy theory. The film focuses in part on southwestern Arizona's Yuma County, where the Arizona attorney general's office indicted two people for illegally collecting ballots in the 2020 primary election.
Guillermina Fuentes and a second woman were indicted in December 2020 on one count of ballot abuse, commonly known as “ballot harvesting” and made illegal under a 2016 state law. Additional charges of conspiracy, forgery and an additional ballot abuse charge were added last October. Her co-defendant awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to a reduced charge several months ago. Fuentes has a court date where she may change her not guilty plea later this week.
Fuentes, 66 and a Democrat, is a former mayor of the border city of San Luis and currently serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis. She's accused of collecting ballots in the border city in violation of the law that only allows a caregiver or family member to return someone else's early ballot, and in some cases filling them out.
Her attorney has not responded to repeated inquiries seeking comment.
It is the only case ever brought by the attorney general under the 2016 law, which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
Records show Fuentes was under investigation within days of the Aug. 4, 2020, primary election and knew she was a suspect by mid-September. There's no sign she or anyone else in Yuma County collected ballots in the general election.
Ballot abuse is a felony that carries a possible sentence of up to two years in prison and a $150,000 fine.
The True the Vote representatives told lawmakers that they have no video from Yuma County and have only have obstructed surveillance footage from one drop box in Maricopa County.
Despite the lack of evidence of widespread problems with ballot drop boxes, several of the lawmakers said they'd push for laws restricting their use in future elections.
“I have been so pleased to hear about all you vigilantes out here who want to camp out at these drop boxes. Do it," said Republican Sen. Kelly Townsend. She warned that there will be people monitoring dropboxes, following people to their car and writing down license plate numbers. | https://www.12news.com/article/news/politics/arizona-gop-lawmakers-hear-from-election-conspiracy-theorists/75-258a6fda-cf05-48e0-8d9b-7a8d6fce1610 | 2022-06-01T23:25:44Z | https://www.12news.com/article/news/politics/arizona-gop-lawmakers-hear-from-election-conspiracy-theorists/75-258a6fda-cf05-48e0-8d9b-7a8d6fce1610 | true | 14 |
TULSA, Oklahoma (AP) — Multiple people were shot at a Tulsa medical building on a hospital campus Wednesday and “some unfortunately were killed.” a police captain said.
Tulsa police said in a Facebook post just before 6 p.m. that the shooter was dead. It was unclear how the shooter died.
“Officers are currently going through every room in the building checking for additional threats,” police said. “We know there are multiple injuries, and potentially multiple casualties.”
Tulsa police Capt. Richard Meulenberg said multiple people were wounded and that “some unfortunately were killed.” He sais it was a “catastrophic scene.”
St. Francis Health System locked down its campus Wednesday afternoon because of the situation at the Natalie Medical Building. The Natalie building houses an outpatient surgery center and a breast health center.
Aerial footage from a TV helicopter appeared to show first responders wheeling someone on a stretcher away from the hospital building.
Dozens of of police cars could be seen outside the hospital complex, and authorities shut down traffic as the investigation went on.
A reunification center for families to find their loved ones was set up at a nearby high school.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also at the scene, a spokesperson said. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Tulsa-police-Multiple-people-shot-at-medical-17213523.php | 2022-06-01T23:26:01Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Tulsa-police-Multiple-people-shot-at-medical-17213523.php | false | 10 |
Winnipeg sewage system upgrades 'sadly' on pace with incremental improvement since 2013: councillor
Costs for upgrades to Winnipeg's sewer system now estimated at $2.3B, city plan says
Winnipeggers will deal with flooded basements and sewage in the rivers for decades as the city's sewer improvement plan crawls along at its current pace.
The city has increased the amount of rainfall, snowmelt and sewage its systems can hold by one percentage point since 2013.
But that's right on track, one city councillor said.
"It looks appalling, but when you think we're a tenth of the way for a tenth of the cost, I think, sadly, we're on pace," water and waste committee chair Coun. Brain Mayes (St. Vital) said in a Wednesday interview.
"It's just hugely expensive."
About a third of the city still relies on a combined sewer system — pipes that collect both raw sewage and runoff from rainfall or snowmelt.
If that system gets overwhelmed, the city dumps the wastewater into the river system in what the city calls a combined sewer overflow.
In 2021, the city estimates it dumped 10.6 billion litres of sewage into the rivers, according to the city's latest annual combined sewer overflow report.
The province of Manitoba approved a plan to fix that dumping in 2019. The combined sewer overflow (CSO) master plan has a goal of capturing 85 per cent of wastewater by 2045.
The total cost to upgrade the city's sewage system has previously been estimated at $1.8 billion, but the plan now says it is now estimated at $2.3 billion.
As of 2021, city staff say the systems are capturing 75 per cent of the wastewater from the combined system — an improvement of a single percentage point from the 2013 baseline measurement of 74 per cent.
"This number will increase when the final stages of current construction works are brought online," Linda McCusker, acting manager of engineering for water and waste, writes in the annual report.
But that may not happen for decades.
'Going to be status quo for a while'
The CSO master plan includes previous sewer projects to double the number of pipes so rainwater and sewage aren't combined.
It also includes building large underground storage tanks, creating green infrastructure projects to keep rainwater out of the sewer systems, controlling the flow of wastewater better, and trying to catch debris before it gets into the sewer system.
The progress from those plans could slow down even more if provincial and federal funding doesn't come through, the report says.
The original plan required each level of government to put in $30 million every year to reach the provincially set deadline of 2045.
Mayes said there aren't any current formal requests for that money, since the city is focusing on requests to develop the North End Sewage Treatment Plant.
If the city doesn't get federal and provincial money, the timeline for completing the sewer upgrades climbs all the way to 2095, according to the report.
"Is it going to be status quo for a while? Yes," said Mayes, adding that the city boosted its own funding promise in the last budget.
"Are there going to be more spills? Unfortunately, yes. But we're slugging away at the problem more seriously now."
But Mayes believes things can speed up. He said city staff added too many contingencies to come up with the $2.3 billion price tag, and he wants to know why. He said he'll bring it up at next week's water and waste meeting.
The $2.3 billion estimate relies on what's known as a Class 5 capital cost estimate — a rough estimate that is considered to have a wide accuracy range, with actual costs that could be as much as 50 per cent lower or 100 per cent higher than the estimate.
"I think we just need to take a look at our experience and say it isn't coming in 100 per cent over the estimate — it's coming in under the estimate so far," said Mayes.
"Maybe this isn't a $2 billion bite of the apple. Maybe it's only $1 billion. Then what's a realistic time frame to get that done?"
If that's the case, Mayes said it's more realistic to believe the city can finish the project by 2045 on its own.
So far, the city has committed $157 million to this project since 2013, and another $240 million over the next six years, according to the report.
Sewage rates will continue to rise to deal with inflation and the ongoing project, the report says, but the city can't rely on that alone to pay for the costs.
The level to which sewage rates would have to rise would be "unaffordable" for taxpayers, it says. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/sewage-system-winnipeg-upgrades-update-1.6473988?cmp=rss | 2022-06-01T23:32:48Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/sewage-system-winnipeg-upgrades-update-1.6473988?cmp=rss | false | 1 |

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

With a voice like ‘honey at dusk,’ the singer helped put Seattle’s early jazz and blues scene on the map.

“I can’t explain it with words / I have to do it” may be Ishmael Butler’s personal mantra. It’s a bit ironic, given that he has made a career as a rapper, painting vivid pictures with words. The lyric comes from a song he released with the avant-garde Seattle hip-hop group Shabazz Palaces in 2011, nearly 20 years after he won a Grammy with the jazz-inflected, alternative hip-hop group Digable Planets. Butler has spent decades making music that pushes the limits of what hip-hop says and sounds like — but words can only do so much. Throughout his career he has created lush sonic environments meant to make us feel something, too.
Part of the long history of creative visionaries raised in Seattle’s Central District, Butler says his grandparents left the South for the same reasons as many Black people: “for exploration and work opportunities at Boeing.” The family left Louisiana for Bremerton before taking root in Yesler Terrace, Washington state’s first public housing complex — also the first racially integrated development in the U.S. They eventually bought a house in the historic Central District, where Butler was born in 1969.
At Garfield High School, Butler was a standout basketball player, who as a senior took the team to the state championships in 1987. He went on to play Division I basketball at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He was always musical, though. “I learned saxophone jazz and classical from Wadie Ervin at Meany Middle School,” he says, noting the teacher who influenced generations of local musicians. “I got into production [by] going over to my friend Marcel Sanders' house and using his drum machine.”
Eventually, the pull of music led him to drop out of college. He caught a major break when he auditioned for Pendulum Records as “Butterfly” in the group Digable Planets, alongside Craig “Doodlebug” Irving and Mary Ann “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira. Their music was a bright spot in the jazz-inflected alternative rap music that was coming out of New York in the early 1990s. Their song “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” with its pluck of descending bass notes, harmonic horn line and punchy yet laid-back rapping, would score a 1994 Grammy.
Their next two albums didn’t quite capture that early success, however, and creative differences led the group to disband in 1996. Butler seemed to quietly disappear from the music scene, living what he describes as a “hermit life” in New York before returning to Seattle. But he didn’t entirely stop making music — he recorded solo albums that were never released; his 2003 debut as Cherrywine (with Seattle guitarist Thaddeus Turner and bassist Gerald Turner, as well as producer Bubba Jones) explored some neo-psychedelic sounds, but didn’t really make waves.
He continued to work creatively but, as he says in a 2014 interview with Complex, “My mom passed away and I was basically disoriented, disenchanted. I felt depressed. I didn’t really have any musical aspirations. I was mourning.” With the encouragement of friend and percussionist Tendai Maraire (whose father, Dumisani Maraire, is credited with bringing Shona music from Zimbabwe to the Pacific Northwest and across the U.S.), Butler launched into his third act.
Teaming up as Shabazz Palaces, Butler and Maraire have pushed hip-hop into new frontiers. Across two EPs and five albums, the group has perfected an off-kilter aesthetic: standard 4/4 beats are rare, and there are few, if any, A-B-A-B song structures — and even fewer catchy, radio-friendly hooks. Instead, the band experiments with creating balance out of contrasting textures: The warmth of live instruments — guitars, mbira, drums — plays against sharp and clattering digital beats, which are rounded out by cosmic loops and keyboards that are dragged through goopy filters.
These cacophonous sounds are smoothed out by Butler’s even musical delivery. His lyrics are a savvy blend of abstract imagery (“Forever that's the theme, it's never what it seems/Below the diamond showers above the purple clouds”) and plainspokenness (“Well I never was the type to live a sedentary life/I always had to get up and out,” both from 2020’s “Ad Ventures.”)
The paradoxical clarity of Shabazz Palaces’ dissonance shook up the Seattle music scene in 2009. The launch of the first EPs was shrouded in mystery. The CDs were packaged in cardboard sleeves featuring intricately embroidered patches. There were no liner notes or images of the artist(s) anywhere. In a 2022 podcast series devoted in part to his work, Butler says of this time, “It was never really about secrecy as much as it was about letting your music speak for you. … I wanted to lead with the music.”
It worked. Shabazz Palaces secured a deal with Sub Pop Records, and the full-length debut, Black Up, was released in 2011 to critical acclaim. Running at 36 minutes, the compositions are lit up with astral glitters and shimmers, as if “going deep into space,” says Seattle DJ Larry Mizell. He describes the sound as “getting bigger, weirder, deeper, harder.” Music critic Sasha Frere-Jones aptly describes the overall vibe as “high-resolution disorientation.”
The sonic and lyrical density of Shabazz Palaces may be at times disorienting, but its music injects moments of rest that allow the body to breathe and the mind to wander. Over the spare beat of the song “Recollections of the wraith,” Butler works to “clear some space out so we can space out.” That lyric, from Black Up, also speaks to Butler’s approach to music.
“Over the years I have shifted from very deliberate, mapped-out compositions to a freer, more instinctive method of capturing spontaneity,” he says, preferring this to “pursuing a predetermined result.”
For Butler, spacing out is an opportunity to clear his mind and be available to his instincts — which have always led him to make genre-bending music that never caved to the demands of the commercial music industry. It is perhaps no surprise that he has surrounded himself with other creative visionaries.
He is a founding member of the Black Constellation, a collective of Seattle musicians, visual artists, filmmakers and designers, which was recently chronicled in the KEXP podcast Fresh Off the Spaceship. The collective, which came together in the 2000s, has led to multiple music collaborations — Stas Thee Boss is featured on Shabazz Palaces albums, and Erik Blood mixed and engineered Lese Majesty (2014) — as well as exhibitions and live programming at art museums. In 2021, Butler was a resident artist in his own right at the Henry Art Gallery.
For someone who has long talked about the music industry as a young person’s game, Butler, now in his 50s, shows no signs of leaving it. His knack for drawing out multidimensional creative visions primed him for his current role as A&R (artists and recording) representative at Sub Pop, where he was instrumental in signing Seattle rapper Porter Ray. His skills as a tastemaker come from a rich life in the music industry, where he has experienced everything from the tedium of interning at a label, to the highs of receiving a Grammy, to musical dry spells.
The Northwest will continue to play an important role in his musical innovations — whether in Shabazz Palaces, in the artists he brings into Sub Pop or in the creative collaborations he dreams up along the way. “The rainy gray season in Seattle,” he says, “is a good time to shed, study, practice and learn new things while staying indoors.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is leaning towards making a visit to Saudi Arabia — a trip that would likely bring him face-to-face with the Saudi crown prince he once shunned as a killer.
The White House is weighing a visit to Saudi Arabia that would also include a meeting of the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates) as well as Egypt, Iraq and Jordan, according to a person familiar with White House planning. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the yet-to-be finalized plans.
It comes at a moment when overriding U.S. strategic interests in oil and security have pushed the administration to rethink the arms-length stance that Biden pledged to take with the Saudis as a candidate for the White House.
Any meeting between Biden and de facto Saudi ruler Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a Biden visit to the Middle East could offer hope of some relief for U.S. gasoline consumers, who are wincing as a squeaky-tight global oil supply drives up prices. Biden would be expected to meet with Prince Mohammed, who is often referred to by his initials, MBS — if the Saudi visit happens, according to the person familiar with the deliberations.
Such a meeting could also ease one of the most fraught and uncertain periods in a partnership between Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, and the United States, the world’s top economic and military power, that has stood for more than three-quarters of a century.
But it also risks a public humbling for the U.S. leader, who in 2019 pledged to make a “pariah” of the Saudi royal family over the 2018 killing and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a newspaper critic of many of the brutal ways that Prince Mohammed operates.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday declined to comment on whether Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia. Biden is expected to travel to Europe at the end of June. He could tack on a stop in Saudi Arabia to meet with Prince Mohammed, Saudi King Salman and other leaders. The president would also likely visit Israel should he extend his upcoming travels to include Saudi Arabia.
Last week, the White House confirmed that NSC Middle East coordinator Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein, a senior adviser for energy security at the State Department, were recently in the region. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone Monday with his Saudi counterpart.
McGurk and Hochstein, as well as Tim Lenderking, the U.S. special envoy for Yemen, have repeatedly visited Saudi Arabia for talks with Saudi officials about energy supplies, Biden administration efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal and Saudi’s war in Yemen, recently calmed by a cease-fire.
For Biden, the political dangers of offering his hand to Prince Mohammed include the potential for an embarrassing last-minute public rebuff from a still-offended crown prince known for imperious, harsh actions. Since Prince Mohammed became crown prince in 2017, that has included detaining his own royal uncles and cousins as well as Saudi rights advocates, and, according to the U.S. intelligence community, directing Khashoggi’s killing. Saudi Arabia denies involvement by the crown prince.
Still, Biden stood ready to greet the prince at last October's G20 summit in Rome, but Prince Mohammed did not attend.
And any Biden climbdown from his passionate human-rights pledge — Saudi rulers would “pay the price” for Khashoggi’s killing, Biden vowed on the debate stage during his campaign — risks more disillusionment for Democratic voters. They have watched Biden struggle to accomplish his domestic agenda in the face of a strong GOP minority in the Senate.
Democrats appear less vocal now in demands that the U.S. take a hard line with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince. Near-record gas prices are endangering their prospects in the November midterm election.
A leading congressional critic of the Saudi government, Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia, said in an email the United States “should reassess its unconditional support for Saudi Arabia.” But he and other Democrats are not publicly telling Biden he shouldn’t meet with Prince Mohammed.
Lawmakers point especially to Saudi Arabia’s refusal despite months of Western appeals to veer from an oil production cap brokered largely between the Saudi kingdom and oil-producer Russia. The production cap is adding to oil supply shortfalls stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
At the same time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron have privately urged Biden to work to soothe U.S.-Saudi relations as has Israel, which sees the kingdom as an essential player in countering Iran.
Besides helping to keep gas prices high for consumers globally, the tight supply helps Russia get better prices for the oil and gas it is selling to fund its invasion of Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited the Saudi kingdom Tuesday, even as talk of a possible Biden-Prince Mohammed meeting grew in Washington.
Frequent, warm visits among Saudi, Russian and Chinese officials during the freeze between Biden and the Saudi crown prince have heightened Western concern that Saudi Arabia is breaking from Western strategic interests.
The United States for decades has ensured U.S. or allied aircraft carriers, troops and trainers and missile batteries remain deployed in defense of Saudi Arabia and its oil fields, and in defense of other Gulf states. The military commitment recognizes that a stable global oil market and a Gulf counterbalance to Iran are in U.S. strategic interests.
From Saudi Arabia, the United States is looking “for real assurances that it is going to be firmly aligned with the United States internationally, and not drift toward or hedge by trying to have comparable relationships with Russia and China. That goes beyond just oil,” said Dan Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel. Shapiro is an advocate of bilateral Abraham accords that have helped establish closer ties between some Arab states and Israel.
“The United States needs to have some assurance that it’s going to provide those security guarantees and it has a real partner that’s going to be like a partner,” said Shapiro, now a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council.
Officials in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, for their part, often see Biden as the latest of several U.S. presidents to neglect the U.S. military’s longstanding protector role in the Gulf, as Washington tries to extricate itself from Middle East conflicts to focus on China.
Those Gulf security worries may be eased by the U.S. move last year bringing control of its forces in Israel under U.S. Central Command. That effectively increases interaction between Israel's U.S.-equipped military and Arab forces under the U.S. military umbrella, Shapiro said.
Deputy Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman visited CENTCOM headquarters in Florida last month. Regional coordination was one of the main topics, including, Shapiro said, the possibility of such steps as coordinating the Middle East’s air defense capabilities.
Blinken and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan also met last month with the Saudi defense official. Sullivan said he talked energy. CIA Director William Burns visited Prince Mohammed in Saudi Arabia in April.
Biden administration officials bristle at the notion that a stepped-up engagement is simply about getting the Saudis to help ease gas prices. Jean-Pierre said last week after McGurk and Hochstein’s most recent travels to the region that the idea that the White House is asking the Saudis to pump more oil “is simply wrong” and “a misunderstanding of both the complexity of that issue, as well as our multifaceted discussions with the Saudis.”
“The president's words still stand,” she added Wednesday, of Biden's pledge that the Saudis would “pay a price."

“US authorities are ready to implement a ban on imports from China's Xinjiang region when a law requiring it becomes enforceable later in June, a US Customs official said on Wednesday,” per Reuters. The news adds that a "very high" level of evidence would be required for an exemption, said the source mentioned.
Key quotes
The law includes a "rebuttable presumption" that all goods from Xinjiang, where Chinese authorities established detention camps for Uyghurs and other Muslim groups, are made with forced labor, and bars their import unless it can be proven otherwise.
China denies abuses in Xinjiang, a major cotton producer that also supplies much of the world's materials for solar panels, and says the law "slanders" the country's human rights situation.
Elsewhere, China's Ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, says Beijing is ready to talk to Australia’s new government without preconditions. The diplomat, however, mentioned that China's punitive trade sanctions will not be dropped while also saying, “This will not happen until there is an improvement in the “political relationship” between Canberra and Beijing.”

AUD/USD bulls could be about to throw in the towel, but the 38.2% Fibo is key
AUD/USD is flat on the day and trading in the middle of the overnight ranges. Aussie is consolidating the recent volatility and has left a doji on the daily chart. The price could be in for some sideways action as markets take a rest bite ahead of more critical US events.
EUR/USD aims to recapture weekly lows ahead of US NFP
The EUR/USD pair is juggling around 1.0650 after a sheer downside move from 1.0730 on Thursday. A sluggish consolidation move is indicating the occurrence of an intensive selling action, which will expose the asset to more downside.
Gold finds offers around $1,850 on firmer DXY, focus shifts to US NFP
Gold price XAU/USD is displaying some signs of exhaustion after a pullback move to its crucial resistance at $1,850.00. The precious metal and the DXY have displayed a rare parallel upside move as both assets were advancing north on Wednesday.
What Shiba Inu needs to end the downtrend
SHIB is still consolidating within a range. Shiba Inu price has not delivered any substantial volume changes in the market. Invalidation of the bearish thesis is a close above $0.00001370.

Another $700 Million in Military Aid for Ukraine
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Joe Biden46th and current president of the United States
The U.S. will send another batch of military equipment worth $700 million to Ukraine, including advanced rocket systems, the White House announced late Tuesday.
In an op-ed published in The New York Times, President Joe Biden explained how he plans to support Ukraine as it struggles to defend itself against Russian aggression. “We will continue providing Ukraine with advanced weaponry, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger antiaircraft missiles, powerful artillery and precision rocket systems, radars, unmanned aerial vehicles, Mi-17 helicopters and ammunition,” he wrote. “We will also send billions more in financial assistance, as authorized by Congress.”
The rocket systems are particularly notable since they will allow Ukrainian forces to strike deeper into Russian-held territory – and, some critics worry, increase the risk of expanding the war into Russia itself. A senior White House official told The New York Times that the Ukrainians had agreed not to use the rocket systems – called the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, the most sophisticated weapon provided to Ukraine so far – to attack Russian territory. The White House also said that it was sending rockets that could travel 48 miles, but not the longer-range munitions that can travel nearly 200 miles.
Biden sought to reassure Russia that the U.S. did not want to see the conflict expand. “We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia,” he wrote. “We are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders.”
The bottom line: The U.S. has already sent Ukraine about $5 billion worth of military equipment, and military experts say more will likely be provided, with the war expected to grind on for months. | https://news.yahoo.com/another-700-million-military-aid-224445778.html | 2022-06-01T23:46:23Z | https://news.yahoo.com/another-700-million-military-aid-224445778.html | true | 1 |
Messi lifts the Finalissima trophy for Argentina (Twitter/EURO2024)
Photo : Twitter
Lionel
Messi stole the show as Copa America holders
Argentina powered to a 3-0 win against European champions Italy in the Finalissima at Wembley on Wednesday.
Inspired by the peerless Messi, Argentina raced into a two-goal lead in the first half of the prestigious friendly thanks to strikes from Lautaro
Martinez and Angel
Di Maria.
Paulo Dybala capped Argentina's rout, but after a disappointing season with Paris Saint-Germain by his sky-high standards, it was the sight of Messi back to his imperious best that took the spotlight.
The 34-year-old's eye-catching display featured two assists and was worthy of his rare appearance at one of football's great cathedrals.
It was another memorable moment for Argentina, who have qualified for this year's World Cup as they extend the golden afterglow from the victory over Brazil that ended their 28-year wait to win the Copa America in 2021.
Argentina were already established as one of the leading contenders to win the World Cup and defeating Italy was another statement of intent from La Albiceleste, who are now unbeaten in 32 matches.
If Messi can play at this level in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni's side will be a force to be reckoned with as they chase a first World Cup title since 1986.
For Italy, it was a disappointing return to Wembley 11 months after they beat England on penalties in the Euro 2020 final.
Roberto Mancini's team have gone into a steep decline since that memorable triumph.
They failed to qualify for the World Cup after suffering a humiliating loss to North Macedonia in their play-off semi-final.
Mancini admitted the Finalissima represented the "end of a cycle" for his European champions.
After the World Cup failure, Mancini is transitioning to a younger generation, with the forthcoming Nations League matches against Germany, England and Hungary his real focus.
Mancini's overhaul effectively started at half-time when Italy said farewell to 117-cap skipper
Giorgio Chiellini, who was substituted in his final game before international retirement.
Messi masterpiece
This was only the third Finalissima contest between the respective champions of Europe and South America and the first since
Diego Maradona's Argentina beat Denmark in 1993.
Fittingly, Messi -- the heir to the legendary Maradona -- used the occasion to remind the world of his astonishing talents.
The 80,000 sell-out crowd created a colourful backdrop for Messi's mastery, with Argentina's raucous fans turning the north London suburb of Brent into Buenos Aires for one ear-splitting evening.
Every touch from Messi lifted the decibel levels and moments after his shot was saved by
Gianluigi Donnarumma, the forward played a key role as Argentina took the lead in the 28th minute.
Messi worked his magic on the touchline, showing tremendous strength to hold off Giovanni Di Lorenzo before unfurling a precise low cross to Martinez, who applied the finishing touch from close-range.
Italy argued that the goal should have been disallowed for a foul in the build-up, but their protests were in vain.
With tempers still running high,
Leonardo Bonucci was booked after leaving Messi writhing in pain with a flailing arm that caught him in the face.
Di Maria exacted revenge on Messi's behalf in first half stoppage-time.
Martinez drove forward with bullish tenacity and slipped a perfectly weighted pass to Di Maria, with the PSG forward producing a finish to match the approach play as he clipped a cool finish over Donnarumma.
Di Maria almost struck again on the hour, but his curler was brilliantly tipped over by Donnarumma as it fizzed towards the far corner.
Messi robbed Jorginho and embarked on a mesmerising run that finished with a save from Donnarumma.
Messi's name echoed around the stands as Argentina's fans paid tribute to their idol's latest masterpiece.
Dybala's clinical strike in stoppage-time came via a deft Messi pass as the maestro provided one final flourish. | https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/football/messi-back-to-his-best-as-argentina-rout-italy-3-0-in-finalissima-article-91950286 | 2022-06-01T23:48:14Z | https://www.timesnownews.com/sports/football/messi-back-to-his-best-as-argentina-rout-italy-3-0-in-finalissima-article-91950286 | false | 13 |
Abbott orders Texas officials to conduct random ‘intruder detection’ audits at schools
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has ordered Texas officials to conduct “in-person, unannounced, random intruder detection audits” at school districts after a shooting at an elementary school last month left 21 people dead.
“I am charging the [Texas School Safety Center], in coordination with [Texas Education Agency], to develop and implement a plan to conduct random inspections to assess access control measures of Texas school districts. Among other reviews, your team should begin conducting in-person, unannounced, random intruder detection audits on school districts,” he wrote to the Texas School Safety Center’s (TxSCC) director, Kathy Martinez-Prather.
“Staff should approach campuses to find weak points and how quickly they can penetrate buildings without being stopped. This will help determine if schools are prepared to implement and follow the [School Safety Emergency Operations Plans] they have already submitted to the state,” he added.
He also requested that Martinez-Prather contact every school district in the state to remind each district’s individual School Safety and Security Committee to meet together this summer. She was also tasked with reminding districts to review their emergency operations plans and ensure campus safety procedures trainings for their staff before the start of the next school year, among other requests.
“The TxSSC will provide a progress report of these findings to the Office of the Governor and the Legislature by October 1, 2022. I will work with TxSSC, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Legislature to hold accountable any districts that do not meet these requirements,” Abbott wrote.
Abbott’s letter came against the backdrop of a recent shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two adults dead.
On Wednesday, the Texas governor sent a letter to his lieutenant governor and state House speaker asking them to create a special legislative committee addressing school safety, mental health, social media, police training and firearm safety.
“I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings,” Abbott wrote.
The Hill has reached out to Martinez-Prather for comment.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has received his Certificate of Return as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the main opposition party.
Atiku who received the certificate at the headquarters of the PDP at Wadata Plaza in Abuja thanked the Senator Iyorchia Ayu-led committee for the success of the convention and for providing aspirants with a level playing field.
He, however, noted that it is time for the party to end the All Progressives Congress’ callous and dangerous misrule over the past seven years and save the country.
A statement from his media office reads, “When I came in April and informed the National Working Committee of my intention to offer myself for consideration as the Presidential flag-bearer of our great party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, in the forthcoming Presidential Election, I was well received. The NWC assured me that it would be fair and provide every aspirant a level playing field.
"I was also assured that once a candidate emerged from our primary election you would all support that candidate and work very hard to ensure our victory in the Presidential election and of course the governorship and legislative elections across the country.
“I am honoured and quite humbled to receive this Certificate of Return, having emerged as our party’s Presidential Candidate in our just concluded Special Convention. This victory is a victory for all of us, for our party and for the vast majority of Nigerians suffering under the misrule of the APC. It was a collective effort, and I am very grateful for everybody’s contributions.
“Let me first thank the Organizing Committee for the Convention under the leadership of the rock-solid Senator David Mark, for putting together a rancor-free and successful Convention.
“I want to specially thank the National Working Committee of our Party, led by the National Chairman, the unflappable Senator Iyorchia Ayu, for the excellent way that it has steered the affairs of this party, including overseeing the successful Convention.
“I am particularly grateful that you kept your word and gave us contestants fair treatment despite your likely varying sympathies and what must have been a pressure-laden and difficult situation.
“Your integrity and even-handedness must be commended. I commend our party’s National Executive Committee for putting our party and our country first in its deliberations and decision-making.
“I thank all those who assisted my campaign in a variety of ways to enable me to crisscross this vast country and make my case to our delegates and other party elders and members.
“To all those who volunteered their time to help with organizing the Convention, as well as all the security personnel and agencies who ensured an orderly event and the safety of the attendees, I say thank you very much.
"I also thank my family for putting up with my demands and the disruptions this quest to serve obviously bring about.
“My chairman, my dear friends, while I am excited and happy for this opportunity to bear our party’s flag, let us all remember that what just happened is a contest within a family to decide how to put our best foot forward. The main contest is the one to win the Presidency of our country for our Party.
“And it requires the entire PDP family and other supporters and sympathizers. We must pull everyone together. Nobody should be excluded. I have already visited some of those who contested against me as a way to lead in that effort to unify the party so that we can face our real opponents, defeat them in the elections and begin the process of rescuing and rebuilding this country.
"The callous and dangerous APC misrule over the past seven years is there for everyone to see. However, we should not take their defeat for granted. We must unite and work extremely hard for every single vote in this country. There is so much to do and there is little time to waste. So, let’s get to work." | https://saharareporters.com/2022/06/01/2023-atiku-receives-pdps-certificate-return-says-its-time-end-apcs-callous-dangerous | 2022-06-01T23:55:24Z | https://saharareporters.com/2022/06/01/2023-atiku-receives-pdps-certificate-return-says-its-time-end-apcs-callous-dangerous | false | 1 |

The Los Angeles Rams appear to be in their first tough situation since winning Super Bowl LVI.
Star defensive tackle Aaron Donald is in the midst of negotiating a contract extension with the team. While Donald still has three years left on his current deal, the 31-year-old implied in an episode of the “I Am Athlete Podcast” released on Monday that he could retire if both sides aren’t able to agree to a new deal.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since Donald’s comments went public, Rams coach Sean McVay still seemed optimistic that the three-time Defensive Player of the Year will play for Los Angeles in 2022.
McVay Believes Rams Are in a Good Spot in Contract Talks With Donald
As the general public learned that Donald’s still possibly contemplating retirement, McVay shared that was something that he already knew about. He’s confident that Donald and the Rams will come to an agreement.
“That’s not any new information,” McVay told reporters on Wednesday, June 1. “We’ve had great dialogue. The goal all along has been to try and get this thing figured out. But also, like I’ve said, if there’s anybody that’s earned the right to be able to make the decision on their own terms, after what he’s done, what he’s meant to me and our team, it’s Aaron.
“Things are trending in the right direction. None of that is new news. We’ve had regular dialogue with Aaron. The goal is to figure out how to get a contract done that he feels good about, that we feel good about, and have him continue to do his thing with the Rams and lead the way.”
McVay’s comments on Donald’s situation on Wednesday were similar to the ones he made on May 23, which was the first day of organized team activities (OTAs). Donald hasn’t been present at the team’s voluntary workouts yet this spring. However, McVay told reporters on Wednesday he expects Donald to participate at the team’s mandatory minicamp later in June.
The Latest on Donald’s Situation
Ahead of Super Bowl LVI, Donald shared with NBC Sports’ Rodney Harrison that he was thinking about retiring following that game. At the Rams’ Super Bowl parade, he implied that he would be returning for his ninth season in the league.
Donald re-litigated the retirement talk during his appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, saying he would be “at peace” to leave the game if both sides weren’t able to reach a contract agreement. But he still has the drive to win another Super Bowl, which could be the ultimate reason he returns to the Rams in 2022.
“It ain’t about the money, it’s a business at the end of the day,” Donald said on the podcast. “That’s what you’ve got to see. For me, it’s about winning. I don’t want to play football if I can’t win anyway, so I feel like…if I got a real opportunity to win another Super Bowl, then it makes sense to play. But again, it’s still a business. We’ve got to handle the business side of things, and if that wasn’t to get handled then, you know, it is what it is type of situation. I’ll be fine regardless.”
Donald’s entering the fourth year of his six-year, $135 million deal, which was the richest contract ever for a defensive player when he signed it in 2018. Donald’s contract has been surpassed multiple times since then though and he’s got the sixth-highest salary for defensive players in 2022, per Spotrac.
Pro Football Focus’ salary cap analyst Brad Spielberg suggested that a two-year, $60 million contract extension would be fair to give to Donald.
“There are still three years remaining on Donald’s six-year, $135 million deal, with $55 million in cash owed,” Spielberg wrote. “Following the blueprint of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, he could tack on two years to the end of his deal at a massive new money average per year with a signing bonus that takes care of him up front.
“A hypothetical two-year, $60 million extension would make Donald’s full contract a five-year, $115 million pact, with the true $23 million per year average just narrowly surpassing his old contract.” | https://heavy.com/sports/los-angeles-rams/rams-sean-mcvay-aaron-donald-contract-extension-news-rumors-latest/ | 2022-06-02T00:00:01Z | https://heavy.com/sports/los-angeles-rams/rams-sean-mcvay-aaron-donald-contract-extension-news-rumors-latest/ | true | 1 |

A California task force released a 500-page report detailing the state's role in perpetuating historic discrimination against African Americans, while recommending an official government apology and making a case for financial restitution.
The document made public on Wednesday explained the harms suffered by descendants of enslaved people long after slavery was abolished in the 19th century, citing discriminatory laws and practices in housing, education, employment and the legal system.
"From colonial times forward, governments at all levels adopted and enshrined white supremacy beliefs and passed laws in order to maintain slavery, a system of dehumanization and exploitation that stole the life, labor, liberty, and intellect of people of African descent," the task force said in a report to the California legislature.
The task force was formed by California in 2020 to research and develop reparation proposals for African Americans, making it the first U.S. state to engage in such a study. Individual cities and educational institutions have previously taken up the cause.
"This system of white supremacy is a persistent badge of slavery that continues to be embedded today in numerous American and Californian legal, economic, and social and political systems," the report said.
"These effects of slavery continue to be embedded in American society today and have never been sufficiently remedied. The governments of the United States and the State of California have never apologized to or compensated African Americans for these harms."
The task force will release a further comprehensive reparations plan next year. California is home to the fifth-largest Black population in the United States.
The report also made initial recommendations within the prison system, saying that incarcerated people should not be forced to work while in prison and if they do, they must be paid fair market wages.

COLORADO SPRINGS — In our exclusive series Adventures with Alan, we'll travel across Southern Colorado week-by-week to show you thrills and chills, hidden gems and well-known spots.
Our adventure this week take us to Monument Valley Park in downtown Colorado Springs to try pickleball for the very first time.
Here in Southern Colorado, the Pikes Peak Pickleball Association ("PPPA") is at the forefront of the sports rise in popularity.
"We're a volunteer organization of about 1,500 people right now. Started about 10 years ago when this was just tennis courts," said Dan Lovelace, PPPA Education and Training Director.
Pickleball can best be described as a combination of tennis, volleyball, badminton and ping pong.
It's fun, fast-paced and full of action!
After Lovelace from the PPPA goes over the rules, he shows us the first of three pickleball shots called the dink.
Next, we learn the drive shot, and hit shots from both the forehand and backhand sides.
The last shot is the drop shot.
After practicing our shots and the underhand serve, it's time to play our first game.
In game mode, we work on the last rule of the doubles game called the double bounce rule or third shot drop.
Simply put, the ball must bounce on the serve and return.
After that, volleys are allowed and that's when the game gets exciting.
Lovelace pairs up with me for our first game.
We fight hard against the other pair, but go down swinging.
Not yet done, we play a second game against another dynamic duo from the PPPA.
Competition is fierce and some points go down to the wire.
In a hard fought battle, we lose in thrilling fashion by a score of 15-13.
What a rush! I'm hooked, and can't recommend this sport enough.
If you're interested in playing pickleball, the PPPA will offer lessons every weekend through October 7th.
"PPPA offers free beginning lessons on Saturday at Wasson Academic Academy, and that's a sign up. Go our website, Pikespeakpickleball.org," said Lovelace.
Now it's time to rate our latest adventure...
This one will be broken down into two categories, difficulty and fun level, and each category will be ranked from 1 to 5. Plus you'll see a final score.
Difficulty: 3
Fun Level: 5
Final Score: 5
In closing, pickleball is a blast! There are plenty of places locally to play, equipment is fairly inexpensive, and on top of the physical aspect of the sport, it's also socially engaging.
For more information about free lessons and other programs, check out the Pikes Peak Pickleball Association's website: https://pikespeakpickleball.com/.

If you're thinking about investing in Bitcoin, there are a few things you should know. In this guide, we'll cover the basics of Bitcoin investing and how to get started.
First, it's important to understand what Bitcoin is and how it works. Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system that was created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Bitcoin is often referred to as a cryptocurrency or digital currency.
Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning it is not subject to government or financial institution control. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, meaning that transactions are not tied to real-world identities. And finally, Bitcoin is scarce, with only 21 million Bitcoins ever to be mined. For further information click here.
Now that we know a little bit about what Bitcoin is, let's talk about how you can invest in Bitcoin.
There are a few different ways to invest in Bitcoin. The first is to buy Bitcoin directly from an exchange. There are a number of exchanges that allow you to do this, including Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken.
Another way to invest in Bitcoin is through a contract for difference (CFD). A CFD is a contract between two parties that specifies the price of an asset at the contract's expiration date. If the price of the asset goes up, the party who bought the CFD makes money. If the price of the asset goes down, the party who sold the CFD loses money.
You can also invest in Bitcoin through mining. Mining is the process of verifying Bitcoin transactions and adding them to the blockchain. Miners are rewarded with Bitcoin for their work.
If you're thinking about investing in Bitcoin, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, remember that Bitcoin is a volatile asset and its price can go up or down quickly. Second, don't invest more than you can afford to lose. And finally, don't forget to diversify your portfolio with other assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate.
Now that you know the basics of Bitcoin investing, it's time to get started. The best way to do this is to set up a Coinbase account and buy some Bitcoin.
How can we invest in Bitcoin Safely?
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009.
Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment. Research produced by the University of Cambridge estimates that in 2017, there were 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using bitcoin.
Bitcoin has been criticized for its use in illegal transactions, its high electricity consumption, price volatility, and thefts from exchanges. Some economists, including several Nobel laureates, have characterized it as a speculative bubble at various times. Bitcoin has also been used as an investment, although several regulatory agencies have issued investor alerts about bitcoin.
The domain name "bitcoin.org" was registered on 18 August 2008. On 31 October 2008, a link to a paper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was posted to a cryptography mailing list. Nakamoto implemented the bitcoin software as open-source code and released it in January 2009. Nakamoto's identity remains unknown.
A United States Department of Justice investigation into possible price manipulation during the 2017–18 bitcoin bubble concluded that "traders did not attempt to excessively manipulate the price of bitcoin". Bitcoin is pseudonymous, meaning that funds are not tied to real-world entities but rather bitcoin addresses. Owners of bitcoin addresses are not explicitly identified, but all transactions on the blockchain are public. In addition, transactions can be linked to individuals and companies through "idioms of use" (e.g., transactions that spend coins from multiple inputs indicate that the inputs may have a common owner) and corroborating public transaction data with known information on owners of certain addresses. | https://www.techzone360.com/topics/techzone/articles/2022/05/31/452497-authentic-bitcoin-investment-method.htm | 2022-06-02T00:12:05Z | https://www.techzone360.com/topics/techzone/articles/2022/05/31/452497-authentic-bitcoin-investment-method.htm | true | 1 |

UK-based formula company commits to sending a minimum of 2 million cans across the pond over the next six months; available at Target later this month
LONDON, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kendamil, a Queen's Award-winning British baby formula, today announced the first flight of Kendamil products for importation to the U.S. market as part of Operation Fly Formula and in response to the ongoing baby formula crisis.
Kendamil has committed at least 2 million cans – or 54 million 8-ounce bottles of formula – to the U.S. between June and November 2022. United Airlines will transport Kendamil formula pro-bono to the U.S. over a three-week period, commencing June 9. Shortly thereafter, two types of Kendamil formula – Kendamil Classic and Kendamil Organic – will be available on shelves at Target nationwide, as well as online through https://us.kendamil.com/.
Launched by the Biden Administration, Operation Fly Formula was put in place to speed up the import of infant formula and alleviate the burden that many families are experiencing across the country due to the formula shortage. Kendamil was among the first to respond to the FDA's call for assistance and the first new international manufacturer to be approved by the FDA under temporary enforcement discretion, a testament to Kendamil's 60-year heritage of formula manufacturing, its fully FDA nutritionally compliant recipe (including iron levels) and its significant production capabilities. Prior to the national baby formula emergency, Kendamil had already been working with the FDA with plans to enter the U.S. market later this year.
"For generations, it has been our family and our factory's mission to craft the world's finest baby formula. Kendamil is the culmination of that journey – an award-winning recipe using natural ingredients, sourced locally and minimally processed. We are delighted to answer the FDA's call to help U.S. parents in need during this difficult time and our factory is working around the clock to ensure we can reach as many parents as possible. We have a growing number of passionate fans Stateside, and we look forward to helping many more over the months and years to come," commented Ross McMahon, CEO of Kendamil. "We are grateful to our colleagues at the FDA, Target, and United Airlines for their partnership and support. Now our priority is to get product to shelves and into caregiver's hands as soon as possible."
Kendamil's award-winning recipe has quickly established itself as a "formula fit for a prince" thanks to its unique use of farm-fresh natural ingredients sourced locally. Kendamil was designed to offer families a completely uncompromised formula – meaning the highest quality fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, sourced locally and processed minimally. It is why Kendamil uniquely uses natural liquid whole milk as its main ingredient and source of fat (in place of 100% vegetable oils) and lactose as the main source of carbohydrate (avoiding corn syrup and glucose syrup). Every drop of whole milk is sourced from family farms across the UK, where cows are grass fed and graze outdoors within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kendamil is also proud to represent more families, through a recipe that is vegetarian-friendly, halal and kosher certified.
The second-generation family-run company was reported as having had the honor of supplying Kendamil to The British Royal Family for Prince Louis of Cambridge, son of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Since then, Kendamil has been awarded the Queen's Award for its success on the international stage, where it is today sold across 40 countries.
"The UK and U.S. have a thriving trade relationship worth $250 billion a year, and together we are removing barriers so consumers on both sides of the Atlantic can enjoy greater choice and better value in their shopping carts," said UK International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan. "This shipment is great news for Kendamil, a UK export success story doubling its capacity to meet this increased demand while also ensuring 2 million cans of high-quality infant formula are available for families across America who need it most."
About Kendamil
Kendamil is a brand of Kendal Nutricare, a family-run, Queen's Award-winning family nutrition business based in the English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For 60 years, the company has been crafting baby formula in the Lake District, made using fresh liquid milk from organic, Red-Tractor certified farms and grass-fed cows. Kendamil, is the only British-made baby formula with an award-winning recipe founded on natural ingredients, made with love and without the nasties. Kendamil uses natural milk fats in place of palm oil, natural lactose in place of corn syrups and is vegetarian-friendly. Today, we are proud to be a Queen's Award-winning business for success both domestically and internationally, where as a Northern Powerhouse and Board of Trade export champion we export to 40 countries, scaling local employment to 170. In 2020, we were proud to be selected by the Financial Times as one of Europe's 1,000 Fastest Growing Companies. Follow Kendamil on Instagram and Twitter.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has renewed 21 national grants worth $6.5 million as part of the league's “Inspire Change” social justice initiative.
The league announced the renewals Wednesday. That brings the NFL to more than $244 million in contributions to 37 national grant partners since 2017 as part of its 10-year, $250 million commitment to efforts supporting social justice.
“The greater societal needs that these organizations serve represent the core tenets behind Inspire Change, and their meaningful work and measurable impact continue to inspire the NFL in its ongoing quest for social justice,” said Anna Isaacson, the NFL’s senior vice president for social responsibility.
The Player-Owner Social Justice Working Group, a 10-member panel of players, former players and team owners, recently approved the renewal of 21 grants. The working group also approved $480,000 more in funding to NFL teams to help local nonprofits erase the lack of access to the internet and technology.
The 21 nonprofit organizations work on education, economic advancement, police-community relations and criminal justice reform. The renewals went to the following groups:
Alabama Appleseed, Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), the Association for Enterprise Opportunity's Resili Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Breakthrough Miami, the Center for Policing Equity, City Year, Community Justice Exchange, Covenant House, Just City, Ladies of Hope Ministries, MENTOR, Metropolitan Family Services, the National Urban League, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, Operation HOPE, Per Scholas, Texas Appleseed, the US Dream Academy, the Vera Institute of Justice.

NEW YORK — While Jo Adell continues to make progress in Triple-A, it’s still not enough for the Angels to bring the outfielder back to the majors.
One of the prime topics during General Manager Perry Minasian’s session with reporters on Wednesday was how he views Adell, the organization’s former top prospect.
Adell was sent back to Triple-A about a month ago, and he’s hit .234 with a 1.008 OPS at Salt Lake in 79 plate appearances.
“Jo has some things to work on and he’s continuing to work on them,” Minasian said. “He’s been great. His attitude has been great. He’s a guy that we feel really good about, that we think has a really bright future. Like I said before, at some point he’ll come back up, I hope, to help us win games.”
Adell’s offensive numbers at Triple-A are boosted by six home runs. He’s also struck out 23 times. He’s slumped lately, with four hits in his last 33 at-bats.
Defense is one of the big issues for Adell, and that’s tougher to evaluate statistically. Adell has made some diving catches that have been circulated on social media, but the Angels still believe he has work to do.
“It’s a really tough game,” Minasian said. “The jump from Double-A/Triple-A to the major leagues, in my opinion, is as big as it’s ever been. The speed of the game is different. The prep in the game is different. The amount of information is different. So with all that being said, Jo’s done a great job of understanding what needs to be done and putting in the work.”
Aside from Adell, Minasian also addressed the team’s recent cold streak, which included six straight losses and 10 losses in their 13 games leading into Wednesday. They still reached June with a 27-23 record, in possession of the final wild-card spot and five games out of first place in the American League West.
“I don’t look at things in six-game blocks,” Minasian said. “We’re two months in, and our goal two months in is to be in the mix. And right now we’re in the mix. Do we want to win more games? Sure. I think everybody would like to win more games. With that being said, it’s easy to have a bad first two months and be out of it. Right now we’re in a decent spot.
“Are we playing well? No, we’re not playing well. The last six games have not gone our way. With that being said, there’s some things in the six games that were really positive. I’m not one to react to a short, sample of a week. We really like this group. We like the players. We feel we have a really competitive team. Over time, we’re going to win a lot of games.”
FANTASY FOOTBALL FLAP
Angels star Mike Trout became embroiled in the fantasy football controversy that resulted in a scuffle between Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham when Pham revealed that Trout was the commissioner of the league in question.
“Trout’s the worst commissioner in fantasy sports,” Pham told The Athletic. “Because he allowed a lot of (expletive) to go on and he could’ve solved it all.”
Trout had been previously scheduled to address the media on Wednesday in New York, and he mostly refused to get involved with the spat over the league.
“It’s in the past,” Trout said with a smile. “You guys are dragging it out. … I talked to Tommy, talked to Joc. Everybody that was part of it. They’re just passionate about fantasy football.”
When asked if he was going to resign as commissioner, Trout said: “I haven’t made that decision. But every commissioner I know always gets booed.”
NOTES
Outfielder Brandon Marsh was not in the lineup for a second straight game, with the Angels facing a left-handed pitcher. Manager Joe Maddon said on Tuesday that Marsh would play on Wednesday, but he changed his mind because he was encouraged by how Juan Lagares looked on Tuesday. Maddon said Marsh would play at least the next four games, with the Angels facing righties. “We’re playing the long game,” Maddon said. “By the end of the season, Brandon is going to play in more games than he’s ever played.” …
Catcher Austin Romine exercised his June 1 opt-out to seek other opportunities. The Angels had Romine in the big leagues for a couple of weeks, but they sent him back to the minors once Kurt Suzuki was activated. …
Left-hander Grant Dayton, who signed a minor league deal with the Angels after exercising his opt-out with the Miami Marlins, has to make another decision in the next day or two. He could choose to opt out of his Angels deal. Dayton has pitched three scoreless innings in three outings with Salt Lake. …
Right-hander Sam Bachman, the Angels’ top pitching prospect, is still day to day after coming out of a start on Friday. Minasian said Bachman has felt spasms in various parts of his body, starting with his back, but he’s continued to throw. It’s unclear when he’ll pitch next. “We’re going to take it slow,” Minasian said. “You’ve seen it last year. You’ll see it again this year. When a young player has something, we’re going to take our time with it, make sure it’s right and go from there.”

Declaration Date: June 1, 2022
Ex Date: June 10, 2022
Record Date: June 13, 2022
Payment Date: June 30, 2022
John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund
Premium Dividend Fund (the "Fund") declared its monthly distribution pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan (the "PDT Plan"). Under the PDT Plan, the Fund makes monthly distributions of an amount equal to $0.0975 per share. This amount will be paid monthly until further notice.
Distributions under the PDT Plan may consist of net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains, net realized short-term capital gains and, to the extent necessary, return of capital.
The Fund may also make additional distributions (i) for purposes of not incurring federal income tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gain of the Fund, if any, not included in such regular distributions and (ii) for purposes of not incurring federal excise tax on ordinary income and capital gain net income, if any, not included in such regular monthly distributions.
The Board may amend the terms of the PDT Plan or terminate the PDT Plan at any time.
John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund
Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (the "Fund") declared its monthly distribution pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan (the "HTD Plan"). Under the HTD Plan, the Fund makes monthly distributions of an amount equal to $0.1380 per share. This amount will be paid monthly until further notice.
Distributions under the HTD Plan may consist of net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains, net realized short-term capital gains and, to the extent necessary, return of capital.
The Fund may also make additional distributions (i) for purposes of not incurring federal income tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gain of the Fund, if any, not included in such regular distributions and (ii) for purposes of not incurring federal excise tax on ordinary income and capital gain net income, if any, not included in such regular monthly distributions.
The Board may amend the terms of the HTD Plan or terminate the HTD Plan at any time.
*****
A portion of a Fund's current distribution may include sources other than net investment income, including a return of capital. Investors should understand that a return of capital is not a distribution from income or gains of a Fund. As required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice with the estimated components of the distribution will be sent to shareholders at the time of payment if it does not consist solely of net investment income. Such notice will also be posted to the Funds' website at www.jhinvestments.com. The notice should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions. After the end of each calendar year, investors will be sent a Form 1099-DIV informing them how to report distributions received during that year for federal income tax purposes.
Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined by the United States securities laws. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund's control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
An investor should consider a Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

How are children involved into research from day school up until school, university years\nWhat has come as surprises – if and what children already do from their earliest child days what does happen or gets into our system\nYoung minds develop and have already made statements in certain areas since their 8 years on earth, at our young age; do kiddes use the devices early so to say 4, not sure – this can lead me towards you may or could see what you did see TULSA, Okla. – Tulsa police said four people were killed Wednesday during a shooting at Oklahoma medical building, and the shooter also is dead.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
Three people were killed Wednesday in a shooting at a Tulsa medical building on a hospital campus, a police captain said.
Capt. Richard Meulenberg confirmed the number of dead. Meulenberg said the shooter also was dead.
It was unclear how the shooter died or what prompted the deadly assault.
“Officers are currently going through every room in the building checking for additional threats,” police said in a Facebook post just before 6 p.m. “We know there are multiple injuries, and potentially multiple casualties.”
Meulenberg also said multiple people were wounded and that the medical complex was a “catastrophic scene.”
St. Francis Health System locked down its campus Wednesday afternoon because of the situation at the Natalie Medical Building. The Natalie building houses an outpatient surgery center and a breast health center.
Aerial footage from a TV helicopter appeared to show first responders wheeling someone on a stretcher away from the hospital building.
Dozens of police cars could be seen outside the hospital complex, and authorities shut down traffic as the investigation went on.
A reunification center for families to find their loved ones was set up at a nearby high school.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also at the scene, a spokesperson said.
The shooting Wednesday comes eight days after an 18-year-old gunman armed with an automatic rifle burst into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and killed 19 children and two teachers before being fatally shot himself and just more than two weeks after shooting at a Buffalo supermarket by a white man who is accused of killing 10 Black people in a racist attack. The recent Memorial Day weekend saw multiple mass shootings nationwide, even as single-death incidents accounted for most gun fatalities. | https://www.wsls.com/news/2022/06/01/watch-live-tulsa-police-report-multiple-people-shot-at-medical-building/ | 2022-06-02T00:34:31Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/2022/06/01/watch-live-tulsa-police-report-multiple-people-shot-at-medical-building/ | true | 3 |

Ever since he was a boy in the border city of Nogales, Ariz., Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway says people have been crossing over into America looking for a better life. Only recently, he says, has this become red meat for national politicians.
"Caravans staging in Mexico, they're heading this way and it's gonna be a mass invasion," he says, chuckling. "It's never materialized the way they describe it."
On a recent afternoon, it was quiet in the high desert along the US-Mexico border several miles east of town. It's usually this way, Hathaway says.
"There you go, that's Mexico right there," he says, getting out of his SUV along a dirt road.
Hathaway is a former former DEA agent in Nogales and in South America. But he dresses more like the old west: cowboy hat, suspenders, key chain dangling off his belt. A hundred feet or so to his left, he points to a section of newer border fence, with its coils of razor wire dangling off the American side. Construction stopped when Donald Trump left office.
A few construction rigs and some fencing lie on the other side of the road near the dried Santa Cruz River, where some of the first Spanish explorers entered what is today the U.S. in the 16th Century. It was long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the sheriff likes to note.
"It's very peaceful right where we're standing here right by the border where you can just walk right through and be in Mexico," he says.
Or crouch under some short vehicle barrier fencing and walk right into the U.S. People are continuing to do that in places like this, even despite a recent federal judge's ruling allowing the pandemic border restrictions known as Title 42 to stay in place.
President Trump used that order to block most migration from Mexico. Under Title 42, most Mexicans and Central Americans who are caught are being sent back immediately. But there appear to be plenty of exceptions.
This Tucson shelter is still seeing record numbers
People seeking asylum are still crossing and at least one shelter for them in Arizona is seeing record numbers. Seventy miles to the north of Nogales, the Casa Alitas Welcome Center in Tucson is taking in 375 people in a day, just a few days after the judge kept the closures in place at official southern ports of entry.
Many unloading from busses in the hot sun look exhausted. They're carrying the few items they could take in plastic bags given to them in detention. A baby sleeps on one woman's shoulder as she gets ready to take a Covid test. The shelter's director, Teresa Cavendish, says this is likely the first time the migrants have felt safe in ages.
"Something caused them to leave their homes, whatever that something was was traumatic and dangerous to them," she says. "And then they've spent time on the US-Mexico border, a very unsafe space to be in."
Shelter staff says what's being left out of the bitter partisan immigration battles in Congress is the fact that so many people are fleeing dangerous situations right now, as violence and global instability has risen, especially in Latin America during the pandemic.
Cavendish and other aid workers in Tucson are preparing for the likelihood of handling upwards of a thousand people a day very soon.
"We are continuing to move forward," she says. "This pause in Title 42 we believe is just that, a pause."
Most of the people arriving here now are from countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia, or even farther afield like the Middle East. Immigration authorities cannot easily return them to their home countries or to Mexico, so they're being allowed into the country for now as their asylum claims are processed.
That can take years.
One Colombian family is hoping to get to Atlanta
Colombian Wilmar Romero has been staying at Casa Alitas with his wife and two young children for two weeks. Speaking in Spanish through an interpreter, Romero says he had to leave Bogota because an armed gang made a threat to his family.
They first flew to Mexico City, then traveled by bus for three days to Mexicali. Soon after, they crossed at a known gap in the border fence near Yuma, Arizona.
Romero says he's grateful to be in a safe place and shelter staff has been helping him book plane tickets to Atlanta, where he has a friend and hopes to find work.
His story is typical, according to aid workers here. Once he and his family crossed near Yuma, they simply waited to surrender at a certain place that the U.S. Border Patrol tends to pick migrants up at and detain them. He and his family were eventually brought to this shelter more than three hours away. They hadn't heard about Casa Alitas, nor did they even know for sure where in Arizona they were. They were just desperate to flee to safety, according to Romero.
A lot of the federal funding supporting aid is set to run out
A good deal of the funding to support the growing humanitarian need in cities near the border like Tucson is coming from the federal government. Much of it is set to run out by the end of the month, warns Tucson Mayor Regina Romero.
"I'm concerned that Congress will not allocate funding for a mess in terms of a broken immigration system that they refuse to fix," Romero says.
During the Trump administration, the Border Patrol was criticized for dropping off asylum seekers in Tucson's parks or its Greyhound bus station with no plan or support network available to them. The "rural releases" continued some during the Biden administration, putting a strain on more rural towns nearby that lacked any formal aid infrastructure.
"We will do everything we possibly can to avoid street releases, our whole community will," says Cavendish. "But there's going to come a time that we have so many people in shelter with us that the unavoidable is unavoidable."
There are plenty of critics of Title 42 along this stretch of the border, particularly in more progressive leaning cities like Tucson. Romero, the city's first Latina and first female mayor, says it's ironic that Republicans sued to keep a public health order in place.
"For example, Attorney General Brnovich here of Arizona was fighting cities like Tucson when we were instituting public health measures to protect our communities from Covid-19," Romero says.
The Attorney General declined an interview request, but in a statement called the judge's ruling keeping Title 42 in place a win.
A border sheriff calls Title 42 'dishonest'
Back in Nogales, Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway says he's mostly given up on federal leaders, after two decades of an impasse on immigration reform. He's also concerned that just continually using taxpayer money to build up more humanitarian aid infrastructure in cities like Tucson will only serve as an incentive for more illegal crossings.
He recently penned an editorial in Arizona's largest newspaper calling for Title 42 to be lifted, saying it's dishonest to be using a public health order to restrict migration, adding that it's just growing the bottleneck of asylum cases at the border.
"If someone at the cabinet level in the Biden administration heard this, that's what I would say, get the deciding officials that make these decisions right at the border," the sheriff says. "Have a line where they immediately decide the cases."
The Biden administration has just launched a small program to start doing that but it may not survive a court challenge.

LOS ANGELES, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, June 1, 2022, a brand-new recording of the song THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA from the hit musical of the same name by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has landed on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and all major streaming platforms.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's romantic, haunting and soaring score includes "Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," "Masquerade" and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as 'The Phantom' who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano – Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine's love for Raoul, the Phantom's obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide.

His other theatre credits include 'Huey' in the original London cast of "Memphis" at the Shaftesbury Theatre for which he was also nominated for an Olivier Award. He created the role of 'Deco' in "The Commitments" at the Palace Theatre and has also played 'Tony' in "Billy Elliot" at the Victoria Palace Theatre as well as 'Raoul' in "The Phantom of the Opera" at Her Majesty's Theatre. He first joined the company of "Les Misérables" in 2008, going on to play the role of 'Enjolras' from 2009 to 2011. In 2010, he played the role of 'Courfeyrac' in the "25th Anniversary Concert of Les Misérables" at The O2 Arena and also played the role of 'Combeferre' in the multi-award-winning film of the show, released in 2012.

Four people with alleged links to organised crime groups have been charged with defrauding the National Disability Insurance Scheme of more than $2 million.
Australian Federal Police officers arrested the four, who they say are connected to Middle Eastern crime gangs, across separate locations in western Sydney on Wednesday as part of Operation Pyxis.
The raids followed an investigation by the NDIS Fraud Taskforce into two women, aged 37 and 32, and a 27-year-old man who allegedly posed as disability service providers.
They were charged for wrongfully claiming money from NDIS participants for services that were never delivered. They appeared at Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday.
A fourth person, a 62-year-old man, was charged on Wednesday with dealing in the proceeds of crime and will face Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday.
Those arrested are also alleged to have threatened violence towards participants and witnesses.
Assistant Commissioner Nigel Ryan said the AFP would continue to pursue groups "who chop and change companies in a pointless effort to hide their criminal behaviour".
"Members of our community have allegedly been targeted, exploited and threatened by groups looking to fill their own pockets and steal public funds that have been set aside for Australians who need that support," he said.
In April, a National Disability Insurance Agency investigation led to AFP officers apprehending a woman at Sydney Airport as she re-entered the country.
She has been charged with defrauding the NDIS of more than $1 million and will face court in July. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/four-charged-with-2-million-ndis-fraud-c-7024775 | 2022-06-02T00:50:03Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/crime/four-charged-with-2-million-ndis-fraud-c-7024775 | true | 5 |
