HOUSTON, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it completed the sale of Parc at Champion Forest, a 232-unit, garden-style apartment property located in Houston, Texas. Built in 2000, the community provides the buyer with an excellent opportunity to implement a greater value-add program by renovating units, in addition to the 95 recently upgraded by the seller.
Ryan Epstein and Jennifer Ray of Walker & Dunlop Investment Sales represented the seller, Commerce Capital Partners, while Paul House and Larry Perez of Walker & Dunlop's Capital Markets group secured the financing for the buyer, Lone Star Capital Group. The teams worked to coordinate with several parties on behalf of their clients, including agencies and local government entities, to ensure compliance with the property's existing Land Use Restrictive Agreement (LURA), which is set to expire in May 2023.
"With steady population growth and employment growth, Lone Star Capital remains bullish on Houston multifamily, particularly workforce housing such as Parc at Champion Forest," said Lone Star Capital's Rob Beardsley. "We are excited to build from the seller's successful renovations at Parc at Champion Forest, which is well-poised to benefit from strong demand and limited new supply in the submarket. Parc's suburban setting coupled with its convenience to jobs and retail make it a dynamic investment for either short term value-add or longer-term yield."
"With the extreme demand for affordable housing, Parc at Champions Forest will continue to service the community it is has for years as upgrades are completed," commented Mr. Epstein. "The community is also an excellent investment opportunity, given its high-visibility location in Houston, strong value-add potential, and LURA expiring in less than two years. Walker & Dunlop's Houston Multifamily Investment Sales Team exclusively listed the property for our client and helped to find the perfect buyer looking for long-term stability, future rent growth, and value appreciation."
Parc at Champion Forest is a three-story multifamily community, comprised of 112 one-bedroom units, 108 two-bedroom units, and 12 three-bedroom units, situated along Bammel North Houston Road in the Champions area. Bammel North Houston Road, which experiences traffic of nearly 50,000 cars per day, allows residents to easily locate nearby retail, including Willowbrook Mall, Willow Center, North Oaks Shopping Center, and Kroger.

Dan Goldman, the House Democrats’ lead counsel for the first impeachment of former President Trump, announced Wednesday that he will run for Congress.
Mr. Goldman, 46, said he would run in New York‘s newly-drawn 10th Congressional District, where he‘ll face a crowded Democratic primary, including such candidates as former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Rep. Mondaire Jones.
Mr. Goldman has used his experience aiding Democrats in their impeachment inquiry as a way to stand out in the field.
“The existential threats to our democracy and fundamental rights are real and urgent,” Mr. Goldman tweeted. “We need voices in Congress with experience and courage to defend our democracy and rights, as I did leading the impeachment investigation of Trump.”
Mr. Goldman was a regular on Capitol Hill in 2019 for his work in the investigation of Mr. Trump that sought to look at whether he had pressured Ukraine into investigating President Biden, then his political rival for the White House.
Mr. Trump was impeached by the Democrat-led House for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in 2019, but was later acquitted by the GOP-majority Senate.
Mr. Goldman also served as assistant U.S. attorney in the southern district of New York, and as a federal prosecutor.
The 10th district includes lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Park Slope, where Mr. de Blasio resides.
New York‘s Democratic primary will be held Aug. 23. | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/1/dan-goldman-announces-bid-congress/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | 2022-06-02T00:58:58Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/1/dan-goldman-announces-bid-congress/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | true | 1 |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets can’t deny the dismal numbers their defense put up last season.
They were downright ugly and embarrassing.
But a year after being ranked last in nearly every key defensive category, the Jets are optimistic they will not only bounce back in a big way but be really good. Especially in their revamped secondary.
"I think we’ve got the guys to do more than just get the job done," cornerback D.J. Reed said Wednesday. "I think we can dominate.”
That's a bold statement, especially considering how much the secondary struggled at times last season. But it's a sentiment shared by safety Jordan Whitehead — who like Reed is a newcomer to the Jets and being counted on to help turn things around in a hurry in the back end of the defense.
“I think this can be one of the best secondaries I’ve been a part of in five years,” Whitehead said. "These guys are hungry.”
That includes first-round pick Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, the No. 4 overall selection out of Cincinnati who could be in line to be a Week 1 starter opposite Reed.
“He’s very talented, he’s very smart,” coach Robert Saleh said. “He’s hungry for knowledge, he’s a great competitor.”
Bryce Hall and rookie Brandin Echols were the starters on the outside at cornerback last season and showed promise, but also had some shaky moments facing opponents' best receivers on a weekly basis. While Reed will step into a starting role after signing a three-year, $33 million deal in March, Saleh isn't handing the job to Gardner — despite the expectations the rookie will make an immediate impact.
“I’m not trying to stir up headlines, it probably will, but he still has to go earn it,” Saleh said. “Bryce has started, he’s taking the (first-team) reps and it’s not for show. You have to earn your right to play football. Just because you were drafted in a certain spot, it doesn’t mean anything.”
Just ask Reed, who was a fifth-round pick by San Francisco in 2018 out of Kansas State. After two years with the 49ers — where Saleh was his defensive coordinator — he was waived and picked up by Seattle. Reed developed into a solid player with the Seahawks and was a starter most of last season, ranking among the NFL's best at the position.
“He's overcome a lot to be where he’s at today and he will only get better,” defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said. “I don’t think this league has seen what he can become.”
Whitehead will team with veteran Lamarcus Joyner at the two safety spots, which was a revolving door last season after Joyner was lost for the year with a triceps injury in the opener and Marcus Maye tore his Achilles tendon in Week 9.
Maye signed with New Orleans in March and the Jets replaced him with Whitehead, who signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal in March after spending his first four NFL seasons in Tampa Bay. He was impressed by what he saw from the Jets last season when they gave Tom Brady & Co. a tough time before the Buccaneers rallied to win 28-24 in Week 17.
When he became a free agent, he remembered that game — and the vibe from the Jets despite New York's 4-13 season.
“These guys, the record, whatever the record was, it doesn’t matter — they came out and played hard,” Whitehead said. “So we have a fresh start, new players, a new group of guys, new knowledge and everything. We could be very special.”
The Jets made improvements up front, too, drafting defensive end Jermaine Johnson in the first round and Micheal Clemons in the fourth. Carl Lawson is expected back after he missed all last season with a ruptured left Achilles tendon. Jacob Martin was also signed in free agency. Vinny Curry was also re-signed after he sat out last season after developing blood clots following surgery to have his spleen removed. All five have a knack for getting to the quarterback and should increase New York's sacks total from 33, which ranked among the NFL's lowest last season.
Ulbrich and Saleh also expect to continue to use a rotation among their interior D-linemen, namely Quinnen Williams, John Franklin-Myers, Solomon Thomas, Sheldon Rankins and Nathan Shepherd, to keep them fresh.
“This style in which we play, this attack front, it’s best when you’re playing 30-35 snaps a game,” Ulbrich said. "We didn’t have that luxury last year because of the depth that we didn’t have, so the fact we have some more depth now, you can get back to really the essence of this front.
“Let these guys just absolutely rip it, jump off the ball, run all day long and then when they get tired, boom, you’ve got another guy to go in for him.”
Sacking quarterbacks. Locking up wide receivers. Taking over games.
“That’s the secret to good defense,” Ulbrich said. “When we play complementary football — rush and coverage — when they work together, that’s when you play really competitive, tough, stingy defense. We’re working toward that. We have a lot of work to do.”

Renault Korea, 5 others to recall some 42,000 vehicles over faulty parts, software errors
SEOUL, June 2 (Yonhap) -- Renault Korea Motors and five other carmakers will voluntarily recall nearly 42,000 vehicles to fix part defects and software errors to better ensure their safety, Seoul's transport ministry said Thursday.
Renault Korea will recall 28,892 cars of two models, including the XM3, as a damaged fuel pump impeller could cause the cars to stall, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
It is the second time for the carmaker to recall the models over the impeller problem. The company first recalled the vehicles in July last year over the issue, but the problem remains unfixed, the ministry said.
Stellantis Korea will recall a total of 7,605 vehicles from 13 models, including the Peugeot 3008 1.5 BlueHDi, due to the lack of durability in parts inside their high pressure pump.
A total of 4,056 units of two models, including the Model Y, will be recalled over software errors and the subsequent touch-screen display malfunctions, which could raise chances of accident, according to the ministry.
Mercedes-Benz will also recall 1,077 units of its EQA 250 model, as they failed to meet safety standards due to software errors in the airbag control unit.
The ministry said it plans to fine the German carmaker after reviewing its recall and other correction measures.
Ninety-three cars of three other models from Mercedes-Benz, 13 cars of Ford Sales & Services Korea Inc. and 10 units of Maserati's MC20 will be recalled over problems in auto parts, according to the ministry.
The companies will contact vehicle owners via mail or mobile text message and provide repair and replacement services free of charge, it added.

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Donaldson was hurt when New York Yankees teammates didn’t back him after he made a remark to White Sox star Tim Anderson about Jackie Robinson that Chicago manager Tony La Russa called racist.
Donaldson was suspended for one game by Major League Baseball for making multiple references to Robinson while talking to Anderson on May 21. Donaldson has appealed the discipline.
Anderson said he agreed with La Russa, and several Yankees said Donaldson was wrong. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said: “This is just my opinion — (that’s) somewhere he should not be going.” New York star Aaron Judge said: “I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do there.”
“I think that was tough to hear, for sure, just for the simple fact that I pride myself on being a good teammate, and everywhere I’ve went, every organization that I’ve been a part of, minus Oakland, has offered me extensions, has wanted me to stay back,” Donaldson said during batting practice Wednesday, hours before a night game against the Angels was rained out.
“They’ve showed that they wanted me a part of their team. Obviously it didn’t work out that way,” he said. “And that’s just the business end of it. And also everywhere I went, I’ve won. I think part of winning is having good team chemistry, and I’ve taken pride everywhere I’ve went I’ve aways tried to help people try to get better.”
A three-time All-Star and the 2015 AL MVP with Oakland, the 36-year-old Donaldson said he was surprised by criticism from White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks, his former Athletics teammate, who said he is “not a fan” of Donaldson.
Donaldson said Hendriks never brought up any issues when they met in a parking lot outside a ballpark.
“I know Liam has come out a couple times and said some stuff about me,” Donaldson said. “It’s weird because I hear one thing and then when I see him it’s different. So it’s definitely been confusing for that. I’m not saying that every one of my teammates have always been best friends with.”
Donaldson made a public apology to the Robinson family last week.
”I think everybody wanted to have a say. But they don’t know my heart,” Donaldson said. “I do feel bad that the Robinson family — I never wanted them to feel their name should ever be regarded in a bad light. That was why I issued the apology.”
He maintains of Anderson, “maybe he misinterepreted” the references but said “I haven’t had a chance to talk to him.”
“I think when it comes down to it, over the last couple of years, there’s been animosity from their team towards me,” Donaldson said. “And I don’t really have a problem with the team. I think there’s some stuff that was in question from last year.”
Donaldson riled up Chicago last season when he alleged ace Lucas Giolito had benefitted from the use of illegal sticky substances. He said he intends to stop his chatiness with the White Sox.
“I should not talk to these guys any more, just because I don’t ever want to be brought up in that light or that spectacle,” he said. “It’s been tough.”
Donaldson, acquired by the Yankees this year, is with his sixth big league team and is hitting .238 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 37 games. He is on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation and could be activated Sunday. He was also briefly away from the team with COVID-19 following the incident with Anderson.
Donaldson had felt the shoulder pain for most of this season and says his swing has responded to a cortisone injection.
“I just have a of of wear and tear in there over the years,” he said. “I have tears everywhere in the there. It’s old stuff that gets in the way at times.” | https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2022/6/1/23151030/donaldson-disappointed-yankees-didnt-publicly-support-him | 2022-06-02T01:05:35Z | https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2022/6/1/23151030/donaldson-disappointed-yankees-didnt-publicly-support-him | true | 30 |
Pets provide comfort and put a smile on your face when you need it the most. They brighten your days just by being in your life – all because of the unconditional love they have for you. Pets are a part of your family, and that’s why you do your best to take care of them properly.
Just like people need health insurance, so do pets. Unexpected things can happen at any moment – your pet can get sick or have an accident. However, pet insurance can save you money and ensure your furry family member is protected.
Read on to learn the benefits of getting pet insurance.
Contents
What is pet insurance?
Pet insurance refers to a health policy pet owners put in place to ensure their pet’s safety. If something unexpected happens, you may not be prepared financially to pay your pet’s treatment bills. Getting pet insurance puts your mind at ease and allows you to make the best choices for your pet’s health.
What to expect from pet insurance?
Generally, pet insurance companies offer coverage plans only for cats and dogs. However, some companies also insure pets such as rabbits and birds. Age limit may be a factor that determines whether you can get insurance for your pet or not – for instance, kittens and puppies usually must be at least six weeks old, but it varies from one insurer to another.
Some plans don’t have a maximum age limit, and if you pay the premium, most plans offer lifelong coverage.
You don’t have to worry about a given clinic being ‘in network’ since any licensed vet can provide treatment for your pet as long as you have an insurance plan.
Pet insurance usually works like this: you have to pay the vet bill in advance and then submit the receipt to your insurance company to get reimbursement.
The prices for pet insurance vary by company, and they are generally based on factors like your pet’s breed and age, type of coverage, your ZIP code, and the deductible and reimbursement level. When getting pet insurance, it’s vital to choose a level of coverage that will make you happy in the long term. When deciding, consider critical details, such as the amount of coverage and the type you need.
What does a pet insurance plan cover?
A pet insurance plan generally covers illnesses and accidents. For instance, if your dog has a urinary tract infection, the insurance will cover his treatment up to the plan limit.
Depending on the pet insurance company, you may get an accident-only policy, which usually has a reasonable price. This policy can help only in specific situations – for instance, if your cat needs surgery after swallowing a toy. However, it doesn’t offer coverage for illnesses.
Here’s what illness and accident plans generally cover:
- Emergency care.
- Prescription medications.
- Ultrasounds, X-rays, or other necessary diagnostic tests.
- Treatment for infections or serious illnesses like cancer.
- Hospitalization.
- Surgery.
Some plans may also cover alternative treatments, like chiropractic care or acupuncture. If your vet advises you to treat your pet for issues like compulsive behavior or aggression, some plans may also cover this expense.
Generally, pet insurance plans don’t cover cosmetic surgeries, pre-existing conditions, or wellness care.
Here are the benefits of getting pet insurance:
It can cover your pet’s genetic condition
Many pets suffer from severe health issues and congenital conditions throughout their lifetime. Some of these illnesses are hereditary or result from serious inbreeding.
As specialists recommend, you should get pet insurance as soon as possible. Depending on the insurance provider, you may need to pay an additional fee due to restrictions or age limits.
It puts your mind at ease
Pet insurance can put your mind at ease because it ensures you can take care of them if something unexpected happens.
Depending on the pet insurance policies, you can get reimbursed for the cost once you meet the deductibles. However, it is worth mentioning that the reimbursement percentages depend on factors like state location and the coinsurance percentages differ for every insurer.
Getting insurance also decreases the stress you experience when you must take your pet to the veterinarian. You can check Bivvy reviews to learn more about how pet insurance can give you peace of mind. Plus, be sure to read your pet insurer’s website to fully understand coverage before you sign up.
It increases treatment options
By getting pet insurance, you will be able to choose among various treatment options. Unfortunately, pets can get sick or injured unexpectedly. They can develop chronic illnesses like diabetes, allergies or cancer – and the treatment for such diseases can be costly.
Your pet may need chemotherapy or life-saving surgeries to recover. Without insurance, you will pay a lot of money or may not even be able to afford the treatment.
It helps you save money
When your pet gets sick, their health insurance plan can help you save money. This is perhaps one of the most evident benefits of getting pet insurance, and it is also the first thing that comes to mind when considering investing in a plan.
If you have pet insurance, you won’t need to use your emergency fund or other savings if your pet gets injured or may need to undergo surgery. Therefore, you will save a lot of money that you would have otherwise spent on the treatment.
It provides flexible packages
One great benefit of pet insurance is that it can fit everyone’s needs and budget. It offers flexible packages, so you get to pick among different policies. You can choose an annual maximum package or reimbursement percentage to get services like veterinary exams, surgeries, breed-specific conditions, etc.
In addition, some policies also cover pet loss, traveling abroad, and third-party liabilities if your pet damages someone’s property or injures them.
The bottom line
Pet insurance is an excellent investment because it allows you to take good care of your pet, helps you save money and gives you peace of mind. By getting pet insurance, you ensure your furry family member is happy and healthy for a long time. | https://thefrisky.com/pet-insurance-benefits/ | 2022-06-02T01:10:45Z | https://thefrisky.com/pet-insurance-benefits/ | true | 1 |
California bid to create legal drug injection sites advances
SACRAMENTO — California moved a step closer Wednesday to creating sites where people could legally use drugs under supervision designed to save them from dying if they overdose, over the objections of opponents who said the state would be enabling dangerous and illegal activity.
The full Assembly will now consider allowing test programs in Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco, more than a year after the proposal narrowly passed the state Senate.
“We know that we are experiencing a crisis of overdose deaths, and these are preventable," said Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener. “This is one way to help keep people safe and to actually help people get into treatment.”
Assembly Public Safety Committee members advanced the bill on a 5-2 vote after hearing conflicting statistics about the experiences in Canada, Europe, Australia and most recently two sites in New York City.
There has been not a single overdose death in the supervised sites, said Wiener and proponents of his bill.
But people still are dying around them, attracted to neighborhoods where drug use is overtly sanctioned by the government, countered opponents.
“There is a magnet effect so that people come into the area,” said John Lovell, testifying on behalf of the California Narcotic Officers’ Association and several other police organizations.
“What they’re proposing is addiction maintenance. ... I think that we need to embrace addiction recovery," said Michael Shellenberger, author of a book entitled ”San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities" and a no party preference candidate for California governor.
Clean needle exchanges were once also controversial, before they became a largely accepted way of minimizing the spread of HIV, hepatitis and other diseases that can be spread through the sharing of dirty needles, said Vitka Eisen, a former heroin user herself. She now heads the low-income health care provider HealthRIGHT 360 and sits on the boards of the California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies, California Association of Drug and Alcohol Program Executives, and National Council for Behavioral Health.
“In the face of a crisis, we must do things differently," she said, referring to the national onslaught of opioid deaths, often fed by the prevalence of fentanyl.
The governing bodies in each of the California jurisdictions have already asked to be included in the test program if Wiener's bill becomes law. It would remain up to them whether to go ahead and to what extent. The test programs would run until 2028, and the participating governments would have to split the cost of an independent study on the effectiveness of the program and its impact on the community, due by 2027.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, vetoed a more limited proposal in 2018, saying then: “Fundamentally, I do not believe that enabling illegal drug use in government sponsored injection centers — with no corresponding requirement that the user undergo treatment — will reduce drug addiction.”
The new proposal split the Assembly committee along party lines.
Democratic Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, wife of California Attorney General Rob Bonta, is a co-author of the bill who called it a "potential opportunity for us to be able to address the pandemic that we are facing around drug abuse.”
California would be “creating an enabling program that enables people to continue to do what is very damaging and destructive, not only to themselves but to the public at large," said Republican Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto. The goal, he said, should be to “get them off of drugs and get them out of this dependency” instead of allowing it.
Democratic Assemblyman Miguel Santiago said he, too, was skeptical, until he witnessed the open drug use on Los Angeles' Skid Row.
“You have to come to the conclusion that it is better that they use it in a facility where it is at least supervised,” Santiago said. "It is an attempt to create a safe place for people to use (drugs), to help them when they are at their lowest, and to prevent the worst from happening.”
The committee's chairman, Democratic Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer, said he initially was “very apprehensive” and fought the idea. But he had an uncle and a cousin die of drug overdoses on San Francisco's streets in the 1980s, when the family's attempts at “tough love” failed to save them.
Safe injection sites may not be a perfect solution, Jones-Sawyer said, but "we need to go ahead and try something new.” | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/california-bid-to-create-legal-drug-injection-sites-advances/ | 2022-06-02T01:11:57Z | https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/california-bid-to-create-legal-drug-injection-sites-advances/ | false | 20 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The presiding justice of the California appeals court in Sacramento has retired as part of a punishment announced Wednesday for delays in deciding 200 cases over a decade that cost litigants money and some criminal defendants their freedom.
Justice Vance Raye agreed to step down from the Third District Court of Appeal as part of a public admonishment for excessive delays that lasted years in some cases, the Commission on Judicial Performance said.
“Justice Raye engaged in a pattern of delay in deciding a significant number of appellate cases over a lengthy period,” the commission said. “He failed to encourage and adopt reasonable procedures to ensure that priority and older cases were decided first.”
While there was a high volume of cases in the court, the commission said that alone couldn’t explain the delays because not all justices had similar backlogs.
California law requires that judges' salaries be withheld if they issue decisions more than 90 days after hearing arguments. But there are no other specific time limits on how long appellate courts take and no rules over how long cases can languish before a case is submitted after argument.
Raye never violated the rule that would have withheld his paycheck, but delays prior to arguments dragged on nearly eight years in a civil case and more than 8.5 years in a criminal matter involving a juvenile.
“In some cases, the appeals became moot as a result of the passage of time,” the commission said. “Some defendants in criminal cases served time that would not have been served had the appellate decision been issued at an earlier date, and others had served their full term of probation, subject to conditions that were ultimately found to be improper.”
There was no evidence Raye intentionally disregarded his duty, the commission said.
Raye agreed with the commission's findings and stipulated with the discipline, according to the order for public admonishment. He agreed not to serve as a judicial officer again.
An attorney for Raye did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Raye, an Oklahoma native, was a U.S. Air Force prosecutor at Beale Air Force Base near Marysville before joining the California attorney general's office. He served as deputy legislative secretary and legal affairs secretary to Gov. George Deukmejian.
Deukmejian, a Republican, appointed Raye to Sacramento Superior Court in 1989 and then to the appeals court two years later. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, also a Republican, appointed Raye as presiding justice in 2010.
As the court's administrative judge, Raye was responsible for leading the court, establishing policies, supervising personnel, promoting access to justice and providing a forum for fair and “expeditious resolution of disputes,” according to California court rules.
Raye authored a unanimous opinion a year ago upholding Gov. Gavin Newsom’s use of emergency powers to make far-reaching policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The opinion overturned a lower court finding that the Democrat had done too much unilaterally.
Newsom, who is up for reelection this year, can appoint Raye's successor. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Justice-delayed-leads-to-California-judge-s-17213738.php | 2022-06-02T01:14:04Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Justice-delayed-leads-to-California-judge-s-17213738.php | false | 13 |

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A $5,000 reward has been given to a person who provided help in capturing an inmate who sparked a nationwide manhunt after escaping with a jail official, Alabama’s governor said Wednesday.
Gov. Kay Ivey directed the Finance Department to issue a $5,000 reward to a person who “provided valuable assistance to law enforcement in securing the apprehension and arrest of Casey White," Ivey's office said in a news release.
The recipient has chosen to remain anonymous, the governor's office said. Officials did not describe what information the person provided.
Casey White and jailer Vicky White disappeared from Lauderdale County Detention Facility on April 29, sparking a manhunt that drew international attention. The two were discovered May 9 in Evansville, Indiana. Officials said Vicky White died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a brief chase, while Casey White was captured.
Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly had recommended that the reward be given, the governor's office said.
“Thanks to the good information from this citizen and the diligent work from law enforcement in Alabama all the way to Indiana, we were able to put the bad guy behind bars where he belongs. I look forward to justice being served," Ivey said in a statement. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/5-000-reward-given-for-help-capturing-escaped-17213633.php | 2022-06-02T01:17:46Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/5-000-reward-given-for-help-capturing-escaped-17213633.php | false | 22 |

COSTA MESA — Quarterback Justin Herbert was thrilled when he found out the Chargers re-signed wide receiver Mike Williams to a three-year contract in March.
He’s just as happy about not having to learn another offensive system for the first time in his three-year NFL career. Continuity often gets overlooked when it comes to offseason storylines, but not to Herbert, who had three head coaches at the University of Oregon and was forced to learn his first NFL playbook through virtual meetings because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
“The biggest thing is understanding that we’re miles ahead of where we were last year,” Herbert said. “Last year, we were focusing on calling the right plays in the huddle and making sure everyone was lined up in the huddle and getting lined up on the field. Guys have tons of film to look back on from last year and we’re farther ahead of where we thought we were going to be.”
It didn’t appear that way on the field, but Herbert recently acknowledged that it was a tough transition for him to grasp offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi’s scheme last season. Herbert threw for 5,014 yards and 38 touchdown passes and was named the starting quarterback for the AFC in the Pro Bowl.
Wide receivers Keenan Allen and Wiliams also had standout statistics in their first season in Lombardi’s system. With many familiar faces, the Chargers are hoping the prolific offensive numbers will be paired with more wins for Year 2 under Lombardi and Chargers coach Brandon Staley. The Chargers had one of the best offenses in the NFL last year, but that only led to a 9-8 record with the team missing the postseason for the third consecutive season.
“It’s gonna be special,” Williams said Wednesday. “Last year was our first year, obviously. So this year is gonna be a lot better and it’s gonna be exciting.”
Allen said this year doesn’t feel different because every season they aim to win a Super Bowl, but he added that it certainly looks different when he sees newcomers Khalil Mack, J.C. Jackson and Kyle Van Noy practicing with the defense.
Staley, the Chargers’ defensive play-caller, and defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill gained several key players in the offseason during the team’s defensive makeover. But for Herbert and Lombardi, the cast remains mostly the same, besides drafting offensive guard Zion Johnson and running back Isaiah Spiller.
The Chargers’ offense has question marks at right tackle and in the running game behind starter Austin Ekeler, who also had a standout season under Lombardi last season. They could also use a consistent speed threat to utilize Herbert’s strong arm, but the Chargers are confident that continuity will offset the few holes on their offense.
“Just familiarity with all the play calls,” Lombardi said of the benefits of having continuity for Herbert. “Last year at this time, it was just hearing the play, repeating it in the huddle and kind of understanding what the play is. That was a lot of calories burned last year, and this year, he’s got that part down. He can focus on what the defense is doing a little bit more and get his timing down with the receivers, and all of that.”
Allen, 30, is entering his 10th NFL season – all with the Chargers – and he’s been a part of good teams and bad teams. He’s expecting to have another Pro Bowl season, but numbers have never been an issue for Allen, who has made five consecutive Pro Bowls.
With continuity, Allen is hoping this is the year he adds a Lombardi Trophy to his impressive resume.
“I think that helps you get into that gold jacket (Hall of Fame), you know, faster,” Allen said. “Definitely and more respectable, too.
“I feel young. I feel the best that I’ve been. I feel stronger than ever, especially in the weight room. I’m lifting more weight than I ever have and I’m just trying to feed off these young guys.”
BOSA’S EARLY ARRIVAL
Edge rusher Joey Bosa was a surprise participant Wednesday for the Chargers’ voluntary workout.
Bosa, a four-time Pro Bowler, has made it a routine in recent years to skip the voluntary offseason program before arriving for mandatory minicamp in the middle of June.
Bosa’s presence provided a reminder of why the Chargers’ new-look defense has high expectations this upcoming season. Bosa was on the field next to fellow star defenders Derwin James, Mack, Jackson and Van Noy.
The offense also had most of its top players for the second week of Organized Team Activities.
“The culture is growing,” Allen said. “Guys like myself, Derwin, Herbert, Van Noy is here, Khalil Mack is here, Joey Bosa showed up today, Mike Williams is in the building – those are guys who you don’t expect to be at OTAs. When we all show up, come out to practice, come to the meeting, it lets you know that we got something special going on.” | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/06/01/chargers-biggest-offseason-addition-might-be-continuity-for-justin-herbert-offense/ | 2022-06-02T01:23:41Z | https://www.sgvtribune.com/2022/06/01/chargers-biggest-offseason-addition-might-be-continuity-for-justin-herbert-offense/ | true | 11 |
TULSA, Oklahoma (AP) — Four people were killed Wednesday in a shooting at a Tulsa medical building on a hospital campus, a police captain said.
Tulsa Police Department Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish confirmed the number of dead and said the shooter also was dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
It was unclear what prompted the deadly assault. However, the unidentified gunman carried both a handgun and a rifle during the attack, Dalgleish said.
“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.”
Police responded to the call three minutes after dispatchers received the report and made contact with the gunman one minute later, Dalgleish said.
Police Capt. Richard Meulenberg also said multiple people were wounded and that the medical complex was a “catastrophic scene.”

Police and hospital officials said they were not ready to identify the dead.
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.
Tulsa resident Nicholas O’Brien, whose mother was in a nearby building when the shooting occurred, told reporters that he rushed to the scene.
“They were rushing people out. I don’t know if some of them were injured or just have been injured during the shooting, but some of them couldn’t walk very well. But they were just kind of wobbling and stumbling and getting them out of there," he said.
"I was pretty anxious. So once I got here and then I heard that she (his mother) was OK, the shooter had been shot and was down, I felt a lot better. It still is horrible what happened,” O'Brien said.
The shooting Wednesday comes eight days after an 18-year-old gunman armed with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle 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.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also at the scene, a spokesperson said. A reunification center for families to find their loved ones was set up at a nearby high school.
This story has been corrected to show that information about number dead, weapons used and police response should be attributed to Tulsa Police Department Deputy Chief Eric Dalgleish.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman indicted in 2020 on accusations of illegally collecting ballots apparently ran a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, and a second woman were indicted in December 2020 on one count of ballot abuse, a practice commonly known as “ballot harvesting” that was made illegal under a 2016 state law. Additional charges of conspiracy, forgery and an additional ballot abuse charge were added last October.
Fuentes, a former San Luis mayor who serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis, has a Thursday court date where she may change her not guilty plea. Her co-defendant awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to a reduced charge several months ago.
Fuentes is accused of collecting ballots during the 2020 primary election 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.
People are also reading…
Her attorney, Ann Chapman, has not responded to repeated inquiries seeking comment, including on Wednesday.
Republicans have rallied around the possibility of widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election where former President Donald Trump was defeated. They've pointed to the charges against Fuentes as part of a broader pattern in battleground states.
There is no sign of that in the investigation records, though. They were obtained through a public records request from the Arizona attorney general's office that was first made in February 2021, but was denied. The AP sent a new request last October after more charges were filed against Fuentes. The attorney general finally provided more than 20 documents laying out the investigation late last week.
The records show that fewer than a dozen ballots could be linked to Fuentes, not enough to make a difference in all but the tightest local races. 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.
Investigators said it appears she used her position as a powerful figure in the heavily Mexican American community to get people to give her or others their ballots to return to the polls.
The alleged illegal ballot collection by Fuentes and her co-defendant happened in plain sight outside a cultural center in San Luis on the day of the primary election, the reports show. Fuentes was at a card table set up by supporters of a slate of city council candidates and was spotted with several mail-ballot envelopes, pulling out the ballots and in some cases marking them.
The ballots were then taken inside the cultural center and deposited in a ballot box.
It was videotaped by a write-in candidate who called the Yuma County sheriff. An investigation was launched that day, and about 50 ballots checked for fingerprints, which were inconclusive. The investigation was taken over by the attorney general's office within days, with investigators collaborating with the sheriff's deputies to interview voters and others, including Fuentes.
Although Fuentes is charged only with actions that appear on the videotape and involve just a handful of ballots, investigators believe the effort went much farther.
Attorney general's office investigator William Kluth wrote in one report that there was some evidence suggesting Fuentes actively canvassed San Luis neighborhoods and collected ballots, in some cases paying for them.
Collecting ballots in that manner was a common get-out-the-vote tactic used by both political parties before Arizona passed the 2016 law. Paying for ballots has never been legal.
There’s no sign she or anyone else in Yuma County collected ballots in the general election, but investigators from the attorney general's office are still active in Yuma County.
The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that search warrants were served last month at a nonprofit in San Luis. The group's executive director is chair of the Yuma County board of supervisors and said the warrant sought the cell phone of a San Luis councilwoman who may have been involved in illegal ballot collection.
And at a legislative hearing Tuesday where election conspiracy theorists testified, the Yuma primary election case was again a highlight.
“It’s all about corruption in San Luis and skewing a city council election,” Yuma Republican Rep. Tim Dunn said. “This has been going on for a long time, that you can’t have free and fair elections in south county, for decades. And its spreading across the country.”
Ballot abuse is a felony that carries a possible sentence of up to two years in prison and a $150,000 fine.

Raytheon's Collins Aerospace selected by NASA for spacesuit contract
Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX) said on Wednesday its Collins Aerospace business was selected to produce NASA's next-generation spacesuit, as the agency pushes to replace decades-old hardware.
NASA said providing the suits and related services could be valued at a total of $3.5B over a series of missions during the next dozen years.
"The next-gen spacesuit is lighter, more modular, a better fit and easily adaptable," Collins Aerospace senior technical fellow Dan Burbank said.
NASA also chose Axiom Space Inc., a company that is organizing private flights to the International Space Station, and agency officials said having two companies to call on for suits will provide backup options and should help drive costs down as the two teams compete.
Raytheon Technologies (RTX) trades at full valuation compared to its own history and at a sizable premium compared to its peers, Envision Research writes in an analysis published recently on Seeking Alpha. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3844816-raytheons-collins-aerospace-selected-by-nasa-for-spacesuit-contract | 2022-06-02T01:26:19Z | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3844816-raytheons-collins-aerospace-selected-by-nasa-for-spacesuit-contract | true | 1 |

Q: You have been very bullish about the RASK getting higher and higher… that the Indian customers will be willing to pay more for a higher, a better and efficient service. Your RASK is now at historic high. How much more scope is there to improve this further?
Ans:
>Loss reported by the airline was Omicron-driven
>Rise in fuel prices also contributed to the airline’s loss
>But the market is optimist because of the revenue performance
>In April 2022, the airline’s revenue was up 12% compared to pre-Covid

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
Israeli security officials say Syria test-fired three Scud missiles last week. One of them crossed the border, broke up over Turkey and rained missile parts on farmers. The Israeli officials said these were the first Syrian missile tests in four years, but they said the tests appeared to more of a warning than a threat. NPR's Linda Gradstein reports.
LINDA GRADSTEIN reporting:
Israeli security officials said the missile tests, first reported in the New York Times, were part of a Syrian missile development project using North Korean technology to deliver chemical weapons. They said two of the missiles were Scud D's with a range of about 435 miles and one, an older Scud B, with a shorter range. One of the missiles broke up and missile parts landed in two Turkish villages. Turkish Press reported there were no casualties and Syria had apologized. Gerald Steinberg, an expert in military affairs at Bar-Ilan University, said the missiles did not demonstrate any new capabilities.
Mr. GERALD STEINBERG (Bar-Ilan University): There have been relatively continuous testing of Syrian missiles, usually for political strategic purpose, sending warning shots saying, `We're still here, don't ignore us.'
GRADSTEIN: Steinberg said the fact that one of the missiles broke up over Turkey, which is a member of NATO, is a slap in the face to that organization and, by extension, to the US.
Mr. STEINBERG: This is not something specifically aimed at Israel, and it does not seem to be part of any kind of Israeli-Syrian tension, but much more American pressure in response to that.
GRADSTEIN: Israel has occupied the Golan Heights taken from Syria since 1967. And Israeli officials say they are concerned about the Syrian missile program. Linda Gradstein, NPR News, Jerusalem.

She thought it was a ‘safe solution,’ but overuse of this over-the-counter medication can be deadly
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV/Gray News) - Millions of people take it every day without a thought. It can help cure a headache, relieve other aches and pains, and reduce a fever. But it can also poison you.
It’s acetaminophen, sold under the brand name Tylenol.
While acetaminophen is a very effective drug when used as directed, when it’s overused, it’s dangerous. Many don’t realize the danger.
Katlyn Bokhoven didn’t realize how dangerous it can be. The 29-year-old said she had just started a new job but her insurance hadn’t started yet. When she developed pain in her stomach, she took acetaminophen. The pain didn’t go away, so she took more, taking it daily for weeks.
“I was trying to use what I knew as a safe solution,” Bokhoven said.
She went on vacation, and continued to take the medication, trying to push through the pain. She said she probably took double the recommended amount until everything crashed.
The crash led to her hospitalization.
Over a week’s time, Bokhoven’s condition deteriorated. She got weaker and weaker, yet her pain persisted. She was rushed to an emergency room for treatment, then fell into a coma.
She had acetaminophen poisoning, and it was serious. Bokhoven would need a liver transplant.
Dr. Ryan Taylor with the University of Kansas Health System said cases like Bokhoven’s are more common than most people realize.
“We see about one or two patients a week come into the hospital with either intentional or unintentional overuse of acetaminophen,” he said. “(Patients) think they’re just taking extra. More is better. They’re going to have more pain relief if they take more tablets and think nothing of taking more of the recommended doses because they want more pain relief.”
He says they don’t realize the more they take, the more they are poisoning themselves.
According to the National Institute of Health, 56,000 people go to Emergency Rooms due to acetaminophen toxicity each year. 500 of them will die. About half of those ER visits are unintentional poisonings.
Here in the U.S., acetaminophen is readily available. You can buy hundreds of pills at a time. It is also very commonly used in over-the-counter cold and allergy medications, other pain relievers—even sleep aids. It’s also used in prescription medications like Vicodin and Percocet. You can view the list of common medications here.
Doctors say it’s important to read drug labels on over-the-counter medications and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your prescription medications. According to the Liver Foundation, acetaminophen is found in at least 600 other medicines. It is the most common drug ingredient in America.
Here are warning signs of overdose:
Other countries are working toward limiting access to the drug. In the United Kingdom, acetaminophen is called paracetamol, but that’s not the only difference. There are limits on the number of pills you can buy at a time. And it’s kept behind the counter—much like how Sudafed is treated. Medical Journals have shown it reduced suicides and the need for liver transplants due to overdose. That report can be read here.
Long road to recovery
Bokhoven spent months in the hospital, then even more time after her liver transplant at a rehabilitation center. She had to regain simple skills like walking. Almost a year after her horrible ordeal, Bokhoven is back to work and mostly back to her old self. She can enjoy walks with her boyfriend and dogs. She’s hoping that sharing her story will warn others about the dangers of overusing acetaminophen.
“If we hadn’t come (to the ER) that day, I would not have survived,” Bokhoven said. “I would have died or completely shut down.”
She said she’s grateful to the providers at St. Luke’s Hospital and Rehabilitation Center that have cared for her.
Doctors emphasize that acetaminophen is safe and effective when used properly. They also warn that acetaminophen and alcohol don’t mix.

You’ll be growing more than food
Many of us have been toiling away in the garden for several weeks now, maybe months if you had an early start. Have you thought about sharing the workload with the little ones who occupy your house or neighborhood?
Gardens are an easy and common tradition to pass from one generation to the next. I can remember some of the things my grandparents grew – poppies, bleeding hearts and yellow pear tomatoes! The smell of fresh carrots still reminds me of my grandparents’ garden.
Little ones may be learning more than you realize from a garden. Of course, gardens teach skills like patience and perseverance and the hugely valuable skill of growing your own food. But the very basis of science, experimentation, can easily be demonstrated in the garden.
Kids can observe (an important part of science) and design their own garden experiments. These experiments can increase the necessary critical thinking and problem-solving skills our children need.
In a 2005 study, science achievement scores were significantly higher for 3rd-, 4th- and 5th grade students who participated in a gardening program than those who did not.
Teaching science in a garden can provide children with opportunities to see science not just as a set of facts to be learned, but as a method to discover and understand the world around them.
In addition to an improvement in science skills, gardening with kids can increase many aspects of child wellness, including social skills. Multiple studies have shown garden programs can increase a child’s ability to bond with parents and other adults.
An analysis of studies of early childhood learning found environmental exposures, especially for children under the age of 6, are incredibly important for long term health.
School gardens also increase physical activity and healthy eating. In fact, children are more likely to try veggies that they grow themselves.
Although, simply inviting your child into the garden is a great way to get them outdoors and learning, here are some ideas to encourage young garden explorers.
• Print off local identification guides for native plants, birds, and trees and practice identifying the species around your garden
• Put up birdhouses and feeders to encourage birds
• Grow a Giants Garden full of large pumpkins, walking stick cabbages, yard long beans and gourds
• Learn about pollination and flower structure by planting several types of flowering plants
• Plant a self-sowing garden – full of tomatoes, cosmos, marigolds, dill – and watch these plants come back year after year. Help your child identify the little plants that come back the following year.
• Create a garden journal for children to write down and draw what they see in the garden. They can make their own “plant identification guide.”
• Make meal plans that involve the produce harvested from garden.
• Plant a moon garden for night time flowers and pollinators. Plant species like moon vine, flowering tobacco and yarrow.
• Plant tall and vining crops. Use crops like mammoth sunflowers, cucamelons, multi-colored beans, decorative gourds, love-in-a-puff and runner beans. Plant these crops in a square so they form a fort by mid-summer.
• Spend some time in the garden at night. See if you can identify the birds and animals you hear. Identify constellations you see.
• Plant herbs; have the little ones smell, taste and cook with them.
• Plant a butterfly or hummingbird garden. Allow children to design art for the garden – paint garden signs or rocks.
• Create a garden scavenger hunt and have you child searching for common objects found in your yard and garden.
• Allow children to plant or design themed gardens. Example themes include rainbow gardens, salsa gardens, dinosaur gardens, fairy gardens.
Once your child has a harvest, encourage them to cook with their bounty.

- 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 425 degrees, place oven rack in the middle of the oven and line baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper. Steam or microwave the potatoes to the point where a fork is easily inserted but it’s too tough to eat (20 seconds for ready-to-eat potatoes in microwave). Once they are cooked, drain them and set them aside to cool down.
Then place 2 cups of thawed broccoli florets into your food processor and pulse it until the broccoli resembles coarse rice. (should yield 1-1/2 cups chopped) Measure out 1-1/2 cups of the finely chopped broccoli and transfer into a large bowl.
Next, pulse the semi-cooked potatoes and 1-1/2 cups of the Parmesan cheese; pulse just enough to break up the potatoes and combine then with the cheese.
Place the cheese and potato mixture into the bowl with the broccoli. Add seasoning into the large bowl and fold all ingredients with a large spatula to combine all ingredients evenly.
Then place grated Parmesan cheese and Panko bread crumbs into small bowl. Form small balls with a 1 Tbsp. size cookie scoop or your hands and a spoon with the folded. Once the ball is formed, roll each veggie tot in the grated-cheese-and-bread-crumb coating.
Place each veggie tot on the baking sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. Bake 12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes and enjoy!

‘Roadrunner’ officer catches up to woman having medical episode in car
BUFFALO, N.Y. (Gray News) - Police in New York said an officer helped safely bring a woman’s car to a halt while she could not stop due to suffering a medical episode.
The Town of Tonawanda Police Department shared a video from May 14 that showed officer Joe Cavalleri catching up to the woman who was not stopping her vehicle and causing a commotion on the streets.
The department said Cavalleri is also known as “Roadrunner” and the video shows why:
Authorities said they first received calls to stop the vehicle after it hit multiple cars, was running red lights and driving on the wrong side of the road in the Buffalo area.
Cavalleri was able to get to the driver’s side door and stop the woman’s vehicle while also getting her medical attention.

This incident took place in the Shri Ram Puram colony of Ayodhya’s Kotwali area when the teacher was alone in her house. "Police teams have been formed and the attackers will be caught soon, he assured. Teacher Supriya Verma, a resident of Pathanpur Atrauli in Sultanpur district, lived here with her husband and mother. Husband Umesh Verma is also a teacher."
On Wednesday, around 11 o’clock, husband Umesh Chand Verma had left his wife at her in-laws’ house and went to the bank with her mother-in-law. When he returned from there, he opened the door and found his wife covered in blood. Immediately, she was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared that Supriya was brought dead. The marks of stab wounds were found on the body of the deceased," he said.
The police said that the attackers are being searched through CCTV cameras.

West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma has been ordered to do 180 hours of community service and banned from keeping cats for five years after pleading guilty to kicking and slapping his pet .
Zouma admitted two offences under the Animal Welfare Act at Thames Magistrates’ Court in London last month.
It came after a viral video, filmed by his brother Yoan and posted on social media in February, showed him dropping one of his Bengal cats and kicking it across the floor.
The Frenchman’s brother was sentenced to 140 hours of community service and banned from keeping cats for five years.
“Both of you took part in this disgraceful and reprehensible act with this pet cat,” district judge Susan Holdham said.
“The cat looked up to you to care for its needs. On that date in February you did not provide for its needs.”
A spokesperson for West Ham said they condemned any form of animal abuse or cruelty.
“This type of behaviour is unacceptable and is not in line with the values of the club,” they said. “Within 48 hours of the footage emerging, we fined Kurt the maximum available to the club.
“Every single penny of this money is now with a number of deserving charities – all dedicated to animal welfare.”
Zouma’s two Bengal cats have since been placed in the care of animal welfare charity the RSPCA.
“We are pleased there has been swift justice in this awful case,” RSPCA chief inspectorate officer Dermot Murphy said.
“Our focus now is match- ing these beautiful cats to the loving homes they deserve.
“This case sends a really clear message that animals should never be treated like this, and posting videos of animals being harmed on social media for likes is abhorrent.”
The 27-year-old footballer lost his sponsorship deal with sportswear brand Adidas and was also jeered by fans during a Premier League game against Watford in February.
Zouma, however, con- tinued to have the support of manager David Moyes.
He made 33 appearances across competitions as West Ham finished seventh in the league and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/west-hams-zouma-given-180-hours-of-community-service-for-kicking-pet-cat-41712349.html | 2022-06-02T02:37:39Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/west-hams-zouma-given-180-hours-of-community-service-for-kicking-pet-cat-41712349.html | true | 2 |

Rising US yields help dollar higher
(Corrects day in first paragraph to Thursday)
By Alun John
HONG KONG : The dollar hit a three-week high against the yen in early trade on Thursday and was holding firm against other majors, supported by rising U.S. Treasury yields, which hit two-week peaks overnight.
The dollar rose as far as 130.23 yen, its highest since May 11, extending Wednesday's 1.1 per cent gain and heading back towards its 20-year peak of 131.34 hit in May.
The euro was at $1.0654, having fallen 0.81 per cent to a 10-day low overnight, and sterling was at $1.2485 after losing 0.96 per cent on Wednesday. This left the dollar index on the front foot at 102.53.
"If you look at the equity market, at bonds, at dollars, it all sort of joins up," said Ray Attrill, head of foreign exchange strategy at National Australia Bank.
"In the last 48 hours or so we've seen a reversal in declines in U.S. Treasury yields - the 10 year is now back near 3 per cent - equity markets have been struggling and the U.S. dollar strengthening. It's almost a mirror image of what we saw last week, when there was talk of a possible pause in the tightening cycle."
"Also I think the euro has pretty much done what it can do on the upside ahead of the ECB meeting next week, because a lot is priced in now," he added.
The U.S. benchmark 10-year yield hit a two-week high of 2.951 per cent on Wednesday after data showed U.S. manufacturing activity had picked up in May as demand for goods remained strong, which could allay fears of an imminent recession.
U.S. job openings also remained at high levels.
Yields have been rising as the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates quickly in an attempt to bring red hot inflation under control while hoping to avoid pushing the economy into recession.
The 10-year yield was a touch softer in early Asia at 2.9145 per cent.
Traders are looking to more U.S. employment data due later Thursday and to Friday's U.S. payroll data.
They are also starting to turn their minds towards next week's European Central Bank (ECB) policy meeting, at which the central bank is expected to give more details about its plans for rate increases.
Elsewhere, the Australian dollar was little changed at $0.717, and bitcoin was trading around $29,800, having fallen overnight, unable to sustain its push above $30,000 earlier in the week. | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/rising-us-yields-help-dollar-higher-2722171?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-06-02T02:46:11Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/rising-us-yields-help-dollar-higher-2722171?cid=cna_flip_070214 | true | 4 |

BOSTON (AP) — Garrett Whitlock pitched six strong innings and Jackie Bradley Jr. drove in four runs to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-1 on Wednesday night.
Whitlock (2-1) allowed five hits and one unearned run before two relievers completed the seven-hitter.
Boston got to Hunter Greene (2-7) in the fourth inning. Greene struck out seven batters in the first three innings before the Red Sox broke through.
Rafael Devers opened the fourth with a double. J.D. Martinez and Xander Bogaerts followed with singles and Alex Verdugo had a run-scoring double. Two out laters, Bradley singled home Verdugo ending Greene's evening. He gave up four runs in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out eight.
Boston added three more runs in the eighth inning off right-hander Jeff Hoffman, who issued three one-out walks to Bogaerts, Verdugo and Story (intentional). Bradley followed with a bases-clearing triple.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Reds: OF Tyler Naquin was placed on the injured list with a left quad strain. OF Tommy Pham was scratched from the lineup because of left lower leg discomfort. He was available off the bench, and is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday. 2B Jonathan India, sidelined with a right hamstring injury, is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday. OF TJ Friedl was activated to take Naquin’s spot on the roster.
Red Sox: RHP Matt Barnes was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. LHP Matt Strahm was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injury list, taking Barnes’ place on the roster.
UP NEXT:
Reds: Cincinnati opens a four-game series at Washington on Thursday. RHP Graham Ashcraft (1-0, 1.69 ERA) is scheduled to face Nationals RHP Joan Adon (1-8, 6.08). Ashcraft, who made his major league debut on May 22, is making his third start of the season, first against Washington.
Red Sox: Boston has an off-day Thursday before starting a 10-game West Coast road trip on Friday in Oakland. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 3.77) is expected to start, opposed by Athletics RHP James Kaprielian (0-2, 5.93).

Windy conditions in northern Europe have highlighted once again the growing value of wind energy, which provided more than 100% of Denmark’s electricity consumption for two days in a row in May.
Keen-eyed Twitter user Troels Christensen posted on May 28 a screenshot of wind power figures from WindEurope’s Wind Power Numbers Daily tracker.
Yesterday, #WindPower alone covered 108% of the #electricity consumption in #Denmark 🇩🇰#RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #OffshoreWind #OnshoreWind

WindEurope, the region’s leading wind energy trade association, tracks wind generation figures for Europe as well as hourly electricity figures for many European countries.
As can be seen in the screenshot above, Denmark generated 94.9GWh worth of wind energy on May 27, which represented 108.1% of the country’s power demand.
Similarly, as representative of the day’s conditions, the share of wind energy in electricity demand for Western Europe was just under 24%.
Unfortunately, WindEurope’s archive data does not appear to be available at time of writing, but we can confirm the accuracy of WindEurope’s figures by looking at Danish transmission system operator Energinet’s figures.
What is remarkable is that May 27 was not even the most impressive showing for Denmark’s wind energy, as can be seen by the graph below.
According to Energinet, total wind energy production on May 26 reached 57,224MWh for onshore wind and 36,526MWh for offshore wind, accounting for 111.5% of consumption.
This was nearly replicated on May 27 with 56,305MWh of onshore wind and 36,526MWh of offshore wind, accounting for 106% of consumption – basically the same as WindEurope’s own numbers.

Police are looking for suspects in a recent shooting and stabbing – two separate incidents that occurred over the Memorial Day weekend in Woodbridge.
The first incident, reported to police at 5:04 p.m. on Friday, May 27, involved a 38-year-old man who flagged down a car near the 14700 block of Potomac Mills Road, beside the mall, after he was stabbed by an unknown man.
The motorist brought the man to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening stab wounds, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman.
Police officers checked a nearby homeless camp where they located evidence indicating a stabbing had taken place, Carr said in a news release.
No additional injuries were reported. Police are looking for a white male who is about 5 feet 11 inches tall with brown/blond hair in connection with the stabbing, Carr said.
Two days later, on Sunday, May 29, police responded to the 13400 block of Hillendale Drive in Dale City to investigate after a 43-year-old man was brought to a nearby fire station for treatment of a gunshot wound to his leg.
The man told police he was walking in the wooded area along Hillendale Drive when he heard a loud noise and then realized he had been shot in the leg. The man contacted an acquaintance who transported him to a nearby fire station where police were contacted, Carr said in a news release.
The man was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers and a police K-9 searched the area and did not locate any evidence of a shooting.
“The man was not cooperative during the investigation regarding what led up to the shooting or individuals involved,” Carr said.
Police do not have a description of the suspect to share.
Anyone with information about the incidents is urged to call the Prince William County Police Department tip line at 703-792-7000 or submit a web tip to: pwcva.gov/policetip. | https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/police-searching-for-suspects-in-shooting-stabbing-over-the-weekend/article_3e8d18a2-e1e0-11ec-a570-8b4aeb5e716b.html | 2022-06-02T02:50:41Z | https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/police-searching-for-suspects-in-shooting-stabbing-over-the-weekend/article_3e8d18a2-e1e0-11ec-a570-8b4aeb5e716b.html | true | 1 |
NEW YORK, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV) between May 13, 2021 and April 18, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 19, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Enservco securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 19, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enservco had defective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, there were errors in Enservco's financial statements relating to, inter alia, its transactions with Cross River Partners and accounting for Employee Retention Credits ("ERCs"); (3) accordingly, Enservco would need to restate certain of its financial statements and delay the filing of its 2021 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); (4) Enservco downplayed the true scope and severity of its financial reporting issues; (5) accordingly, Enservco could not file its delayed 2021 annual report with the SEC within its initially represented timeline; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

SUZHOU, China, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcenta Holding Limited ("Transcenta") (HKEX: 06628), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with fully-integrated capabilities in discovery, research, development and manufacturing of antibody-based therapeutics, announces that clinical data for the dose-escalation part of the Phase I study of TST001 in combination with CAPOX as the first line treatment of advanced and metastatic G/GEJ cancer has been published on the ASCO's website: https://conferences.asco.org/am/attend.
The data showed that TST001 in combination with CAPOX as the first line treatment of patients with advanced and metastatic G/GEJ cancer is well tolerated and encouraging preliminary anti-tumor activities have been observed. The recruitment for the current cohort is ongoing, and the safety and efficacy of the combination of TST001+CAPOX as first line treatment for patients with advanced and metastatic G/GEJ cancer will be further evaluated.
TST001(Claudin18.2)
Abstract Number: 4062
Session Date and Time: June 4, 2022, 8:00 AM-11:00 AM CDT
Title: A Phase I Study of TST001, a High Affinity Humanized Anti-Claudin18.2 Monoclonal Antibody, in Combination with Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin (CAPOX) as a First Line Treatment of Advanced G/GEJ Cancer
First author: Professor Jifang Gong, Peking University Cancer Hospital and Research Institute
Presentation Format: Poster
The study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of TST001 in combination with CAPOX as the first line treatment of patients with advanced G/GEJ cancer. (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04495296). Chinese patients with advanced G/GEJ cancer who had not received prior systemic treatment were enrolled regardless of Claudin18.2 expression in the dose escalation phase following 3+3 design; the safety and efficacy profile was being further evaluated in the dose expansion phase.
As of April 5, 2022, 14 patients had been dosed with TST001 at 1, 3, 6 or 8 mg/kg plus CAPOX Q3W in the dose escalation phase, and 12 patients at 6 mg/kg Q3W in the expansion phase. No subject experienced dose-limiting toxicity. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mostly grade 1-2, including nausea, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, vomiting, and AST increased. Among the 9 subjects in the dose-escalation phase without Claudin18.2 selection who had measurable lesions and had received at least one posttreatment tumor assessments, 5 achieved partial response and 3 achieved stable disease as the best overall response per RECIST1.1.
"Claudin18.2 has been validated as a novel target and promising anti-tumor activity has been observed in the phase II FAST clinical trial of IMAB362." said Professor Lin Shen from Beijing Cancer Hospital. "According to efficacy and safety results from trials thus far, TST001 showed manageable safety profile and encouraging anti-tumor activities in Claudin18.2 expressing treatment naïve gastric cancer patients. I am looking forward to further evaluating this combo therapy in a randomized global multi-center phase III registration trial in Claudin18.2 positive gastric cancer patients."
"From the dose-escalation phase, we are very pleased to show that TST001 is well tolerated and displayed encouraging clinical response in combination with chemotherapy in Claudin18.2 unselected first line gastric cancer patients." said Dr. Michael Shi, EVP, Head of Global R&D and CMO of Transcenta. "We will continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination and plan to initiate a multi-center global registration enabling trial in Claudin18.2 positive first line gastric cancer patients. The development will be supported by our proprietary Claudin18.2 companion diagnostic kit being developed in parallel and strong in-house CMC capabilities. We believe that TST001 in combination with chemotherapy could provide a novel option for the treatment of Claudin18.2 positive gastric cancer patients globally."
About TST001
TST001 is a high affinity humanized anti-Claudin18.2 monoclonal antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activities and potent anti-tumor activities in tumor xenograft models. TST001 is the second Claudin18.2 targeting antibody therapeutic candidate being developed globally. TST001 is generated using Transcenta's Immune Tolerance Breaking Technology (IMTB) platform. TST001 kills Claudin18.2 expressing tumor cells by mechanisms of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Leveraging advanced bioprocessing technology, the fucose content of TST001 was significantly reduced during the production, which further enhanced NK cells mediated ADCC activity of TST001. Clinical trials for TST001 are ongoing in China and US (NCT04396821, NCT04495296/CTR20201281). TST001 was granted Orphan Drug Designation in the US by FDA for the treatment of patients with gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction (GC/GEJ).

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. The release features the vocals of Killian Donnelly as the Phantom and Lucy St. Louis as Christine, who are currently performing in the West End cast at Her Majesty's Theatre.
This release comes as THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is set to be part of the BBC's Platinum Party at the Palace celebrations on June 4th.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history. 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.
One of the most successful musicals in entertainment history, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has played to over 145 million people in 41 countries and 183 cities in 17 languages. It has won more than 70 major theatre awards, including seven Tony Awards and four Olivier Awards. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has celebrated over 34 years on both sides of the Atlantic with the show in London now in its 36th year. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Her Majesty's Theatre is currently booking until 1 October 1, 2022.
Lucy St Louis starred as 'Diana Ross' in the West End production of "Motown The Musical" at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Her many other West End credits include "Beautiful The Carole King Musical" at the Aldwych Theatre and "The Book of Mormon" at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Lucy has also appeared in "Ragtime" at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and "Man of La Mancha" at the London Coliseum.
Killian Donnelly was most recently seen as 'The Phantom' in the UK tour of "The Phantom of the Opera." Before this he played the role of 'Jean Valjean' to critical acclaim in the sell-out UK and Ireland Tour of "Les Misérables," having also played the role in West End production. Prior to his run in "Les Misérables," he played the role of 'Charlie Price' in "Kinky Boots" on Broadway, a role he originated at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End in 2015, for which he was nominated for an Olivier Award.

MADISON, Wis., June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Schwinn, a brand of Pacific Cycle, Inc., announces the launch of its first-ever Pride Artist Series bikes in collaboration with LGBTQ+ artists, Lisa Congdon and Rae Senarighi.
Congdon's canvas was a Schwinn Coston DX Step Thru Electric Bike and was created using digital art while Senarighi's canvas was a classic Sting-Ray Krate, which he hand-painted. Each bike is detailed with original artwork inspired by the artist's lives as members of the LGBTQ+ community and showcases unity, kindness and above all – love.
These one-of-a-kind bikes were donated by Schwinn to The Venture Out Project, a nonprofit organization focused on creating a safe and fun space for the LGBTQ+ community to experience nature, who will auction them during Pride month (June 2022).
Congdon is a Portland, Oregon-based artist known for her fine art, textiles, and graphic design. Her custom Schwinn Coston DX Step Thru Electric Bike design focuses on love, diversity, and joy with bright, colorful graphics all over the bike. In March 2021, she was named "One of the 50 Most Inspiring People and Companies According to Industry Creatives" by AdWeek and has made art for clients around the globe including Target, Google, Human Rights Campaign, and The United Nations, among many others.
"There are three things in life that always light me up: bikes, art, and being part of the LGBTQ family," said Congdon. "This project is the perfect merging of all of these passions and my interest in making cycling more accessible and enjoyable to every human, no matter their gender, the color of their skin, the size of their body or who they love."
Rae Senarighi is based in Madison, Wisconsin, Schwinn's Corporate Headquarters backyard. His design for the classic Sting-Ray Krate bike boldly features hand painted botanicals and "Trans Is Beautiful" messaging to remind others to not only love themselves, but to celebrate and lift up all people in their communities. Senarighi's work has been featured internationally and he has worked with brands including Netflix, Glaad, and Nike. His You Are Loved billboards are continuing to spread throughout the nation through grassroots efforts and can be seen in over 200 locations across the United States.
"Now maybe more than ever our trans and LGBTQ youth need to be reminded in big bold ways that they belong in sports, that they are worthy, and they are loved. Senarighi noted. "Hand-painting this bike was an opportunity to meditate on love of community. I hope to inspire everyone to use their own unique gifts to support love, belonging, and inclusion. Together, we can shape this world for the better."
The bike auction will run from June 1 - June 30, 2022 and can be accessed by visiting schwinnbikes.com/prideartistseries. Auction proceeds and donations will go directly to The Venture Out Project to support their vision of a world where queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ youth and adults create community, develop leadership skills, and gain confidence through the shared experience of outdoor adventure and physical activity.
"Riding bikes, spending time outside, and being with friends in the LGBTQ+ community bring me immense joy. I believe in taking action, raising our voices and working for change. And, I also firmly believe in having fun! We are thrilled to be a part of this project and to highlight and celebrate our trans joy in a world that could certainly use more art, more bikes and more laughter." – Perry Cohen, Executive Director – The Venture Out Project
"Our goal for the series is to bring visibility to the many voices of the LGBTQ+ community, honoring those who continue to push society forward," said Brianna Purvis, Brand Manager for Schwinn. "We're humbled to work with these amazing artists to help elevate their art and their work to create a more inclusive world." Purvis adds, "Pride is not just a single moment in time, we're committed to supporting programs created for the LGBTQ+ community all year long. At Schwinn, all riders are welcome."

OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — The Scripps National Spelling Bee was rolling smoothly through the second day of its first fully in-person competition in three years. Then it transformed into the SAT.
An onstage vocabulary round during Wednesday's semifinals introduced an element of randomness into the venerable bee, forcing spellers to demonstrate a different skill set and knocking out some of the bee's most accomplished competitors.
Vivinsha Veduru and Roy Seligman, who tied for fourth place in last year's bee: gone. Deetya Vuppala and Yash Shelar, the co-champions of this year's expert-level SpellPundit online bee: also gone. All denied a shot at Thursday's finals without spelling a word incorrectly.
“I thought it was tragic,” said Grace Walters, a coach to multiple previous Scripps champions.
Walters' only pupil this year, four-time bee participant Harini Logan, made it through the vocabulary round and was one of a dozen finalists. She'll be joined on stage Thursday night by Sahasrad Satish, Ekansh Rastogi, Vikram Raju, Aliyah Alpert, Abhilash Patel, Sahana Srikath, Kirsten Santos, Nitya Kathiravan, Vihaan Sibal, Shijay Sivakumar and Saharsh Vuppala — Deetya's twin brother.
For many spellers, the multiple-choice vocabulary questions took away their opportunity to use the skills they've honed over years of study: asking questions of the judges to help piece a word together; identifying roots; deducing which vowel makes the dreaded “uh” sound known as a schwa.
“The words that are sometimes asked may not necessarily be based on roots or easily decipherable, and so in that case it becomes a case of which kids are natural readers and have a lot of cultural capital, and which kids aren't as culturally sophisticated,” said Scott Remer, a former speller who coached 21 competitors this year, including Saharsh and Deetya. “Some words you're only going to pick up by reading newspapers, by reading certain books, and are not necessarily guessable.”
Yash was knocked out on “Stockholm syndrome,” a phrase that can't be parsed via a speller's expert knowledge of how sounds are constructed in various languages. Vivinsha didn't know “ragout” was a sauce. Deetya was given “ergogenic,” and Roy's bid to become the first champion from The Bahamas ended when he was asked to define “rumbustical.”
“With the word meaning, it's a crapshoot,” said Arthur Seligman, Roy's father. “You and I know what ‘Stockholm syndrome’ means, but an 11- or 12-year-old?”
Chris Dominick, an excitable 14-year-old from Struthers, Ohio, illustrated the grab-bag quality of the vocabulary round when he was given “leitmotif” and exclaimed, “I know what this is!”
A reliable narrator, Chris didn't make it through the next spelling round. He was given “sirtaki” — a Greek dance — and said, “OK, I think I'm going to get out on this one.” And he did, after guessing the word started with a “c.”
“Goodbye, cruel world,” Chris said after hearing the bell.
Vocabulary has long been part of the bee, but only on written tests. The bee's new executive director, J. Michael Durnil, who took over in 2021, added it to the live spelling rounds when a test became impractical during last year's mostly virtual, pandemic-altered competition.
“This is Scripps' way of ensuring that the competition does not become about memorizing words like code,” Walters said. “Putting in a vocab segment, it almost forces intimacy with language because you have to know what those words mean.”
Although spellers had to answer a vocabulary question during Tuesday's preliminary rounds, it was sandwiched between two words they had to spell. The semifinals, then, were the first time that so many spellers — 31 at the start of the vocabulary round — had to stand in front of the microphone and pick one of three possible answers on a screen in front of them.
Some knew the answers right away. Some didn't, and had to guess — A, B or C. And that was that.
Vihaan, a 13-year-old from McGregor, Texas, who's in the finals for the second time, was asked to define “vermillion” and noted that every multiple-choice option he was given was a color. He was shocked to see Roy knocked out.
“I know he's a really strong speller. Probably stronger than me,” Vihaan said.
Harini, a 14-year-old from San Antonio, Texas, was one speller who kept her cool throughout, even when pronouncer Jacques Bailly made a rare flub, initially leaving a syllable out of “quinquefoliolate,” the word that got her into the finals.
Much like her mastery of language, Harini puts plenty of work into her onstage sangfroid.
“Even though I am stressed in the moments leading up to getting my word, as soon as I get my word, I just try to put myself into a thinking process where I can really feel calm,” she said.

Japan gradually opens up to foreign tourists from June 10: what you need to know
- A new ‘traffic light’ system allows in tourists with fixed schedules and guides; on-arrival test, quarantine rules depend on which country they’re coming from
- Masks must still be worn, and only five airports are accepting international flights, but the yen’s weakening makes Japan a good holiday option

Tides lose in extras after back-and-forth game vs. Jacksonville
The Norfolk Tides (23-27) lost their second straight game vs. the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (27-23), 9-8, in 10 innings at Harbor Park Wednesday night. The Tides have lost five of their last seven games.
The Tides broke the game open with a run in the first inning. Tyler Nevin laced a single to right field that scored Richie Martin. Four more runs came for Norfolk in the third. With the bases loaded, Kyle Stowers blooped a double down the left field line that scored two runs. Nevin recorded his second RBI single of the game to follow Stowers. Robert Neustrom finished the inning with an RBI single himself, giving the Tides a 5-0 lead.
Jacksonville was able to take advantage of the Tides going to their bullpen earlier than desired, taking the lead in the seventh. JJ Bleday scored the first run for the Jumbo Shrimp with his ninth home run of the season, a solo shot. Later in the inning with the bases loaded, Bryson Brigman was hit by a pitch to score the second run. Brian Miller then tied the game with a bases-loaded triple. Jacksonville finally took the lead on a bases-loaded walk to make it 6-5.
Norfolk tied the game in the bottom of the seventh when a run scored on a double play, making it 6-6. But Jacksonville was able to take the lead with two runs in the top of the ninth. Stowers hit an RBI double in the bottom-half of the ninth, reached third base with two outs, and then scored as the tying run on a wild pitch to force extras.
The Jumbo Shrimp were able to score their game-winning run in the 10th, beating the Tides, 9-8. The two teams will be back for game three tomorrow, with LHP Kevin Smith (0-3, 3.22) taking the hill for the Tides and LHP Daniel Castro (2-0, 5.63) will take the mound for the Jumbo Shrimp. First pitch is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. | https://augustafreepress.com/tides-lose-in-extras-after-back-and-forth-game-vs-jacksonville/ | 2022-06-02T04:04:27Z | https://augustafreepress.com/tides-lose-in-extras-after-back-and-forth-game-vs-jacksonville/ | false | 1 |
MOU with INDITEX - Additional Information
Further to the announcement by the Company on 26 May 2022 regarding the MOU ("Announcement"), the Company notes the following material terms of the MOU:
(a) Commencement Date: The MOU commenced upon execution, on 26 May 2022 ("Commencement Date").
(b) Term: The MOU continues from the Commencement Date, throughout the pilot phase of the Company's lyocell product development, until such time as the parties wish to extend the relationship beyond the scope contemplated (being testing of the materials provided by Nanollose), or termination in the manner set out in the Announcement ("Term").
(c) Material Supply: Throughout the Term, Nanollose will supply samples of its Tree-Free (and/or blended) nullarbor(TM) lyocell which are sufficient for INDITEX to undertake testing. Initial samples of fibre will be provided as soon as possible, and initial samples of three types of fabric will be provided as soon as available and by August 2022 (unless agreed otherwise). The cost of these initial samples to Nanollose is not considered material.
(d) Testing: In consideration for its early access to the Company's fibre, INDITEX will (at its own cost) undertake testing and prototyping and will provide valuable commercial and technical feedback to Nanollose on its materials.
The economic impact of the MOU on Nanollose is that Nanollose receives valuable commercial and technical feedback on its fibre. The MOU is significant to Nanollose on the basis that INDITEX is one of the world's largest fashion retailers, and that by entry into this MOU, Nanollose now has the benefit of working alongside INDITEX, receiving their feedback to improve and refine Nanollose's products ahead of any potential future commercialisation.

The Russia-Ukraine war, various other geopolitical tensions across places, and fresh Covid outbreaks in some countries have kept people on the edge. From an investor perspective, it's better to stay put and stick to your investment goals and, maybe, not focus too much on the short-term movements, suggests Santosh Joseph, Founder and Managing Partner at Germinate Investor Services LLP.
Sharing his views on the market during an interaction with Moneycontrol, Joseph says one of the key points to note down in the results season is the impact of inflation, and also to a great extent the bounce back in demand. The demand revival has also contributed to inflation but inflation itself is a sticky subject and it's not going to go away soon.
The key takeaway from the earnings season is that the market is not out of the woods yet, says the ace finance professional. Excerpts from the interaction:
Volatility seems to be endless with geopolitical tensions, elevated oil prices and inflation concerns. What's your advice to investors at this juncture?
The volatility that we are witnessing right now is quite high. Just about two years ago, oil went down to minus 20 and after that it was at $10-20 a barrel and from there to now it has witnessed a dramatic rise. Likewise with inflation.
With the onset of the pandemic, the whole world feared de-growth concerns and today it has shifted to inflation, this is the headline in every country. These things tend to get exaggerated on both sides. For instance, oil was at -20 but today it's at $120+, from no growth to high inflation, and from massive stimulus to roll back of stimulus, and interest rates cuts to aggressive hikes - these are multiple causes that keep knocking the market. There is swift action from policy makers and by central bankers across the world to ease this inflationary pressure.
For an investor, the message is very simple. You have to pass through the storm. Just wait it out. Minus 10$ or 10$ oil could not sustain and even a $120-125 oil at some level will also cool off. Inflation will cool off too. Of course it takes time for things to return to normalcy.
However, the war, geopolitical tensions across so many nations, and Covid outbreaks in various countries still give people the jitters and fears. From an investor perspective it's better to stay put and stick to your investment goals and maybe not focus too much on the short term movements.
Do you think the current market recovery, after hitting the recent bottom, is sustainable considering the current global environment?
The current market recovery, whatever we are seeing, it's still not a conclusive or a definitive sign of a bounce back. These kinds of pull backs can happen even in the midst of a downtrend because markets just don't crash one way. They fall, they recover a bit and then fall back again deeper. I am not saying this will fall again or that the bottom is done and from here on it will rise. These are heightened volatility periods.
Until and unless you have conclusive breakout on either the recent tops or bottom reversed, it's very difficult to take a call. If you have an option to stay away from day to day activity, it's ideal.
From an investor standpoint, some of these volatile moves may give great opportunities to either enter from a portfolio purpose, or even if you are not sure in certain investments, then these pullbacks and rises may be an opportunity to exit.
In recent corrections, have you spotted any themes that can be a part of the portfolio now and why?
Over the last few months of correction we've seen, a lot of excesses get corrected. In fact, most of it has been auto corrected from the massive valuations and premiums that some of these stocks and sectors we are quoting. When you look at them, maybe the IT industry comes to mind, how it rose up so fast and fell so fast.
Between the market capitalisations, the mid and the small caps seem to offer attractive values. Infact anymore deeper correction from here would push them all into value territory. So especially for people who missed out in the last 6 to 12 months to take a position or invest in opportunities, this is a great time to invest in the space. So rather than look for a needle in the haystack, today the haystack itself looks a lot more attractive and cheaper for one to consider investing.
What are your thoughts on the March quarter and full-year earnings season that ended earlier this week?
One of the key points to note down in the results season is the impact of inflation, and also to great extent the bounce back in demand. The bounce back in demand has also contributed to inflation but inflation itself is a sticky subject and it's not going to go away soon.
You've seen many industries being able to pass the cost of inflation while many have not been able to. Therefore, they are not very successful to absorb or they have to take a hit on their margins. The key takeaway from the earnings season is that the market is still not out of the woods yet, inflation is a sticky subject and though demand is coming back inflation is not making it easy.
Do you expect any significant change in Nifty earnings estimates (FY23) if the inflation concerns persist for long?
After one or two tough years, all of us are optimistically looking for good earnings growth in FY23. Inflation can be a spoil sport. In some cases, it can be absorbed or passed on, in many cases it actually compresses the earnings. We have to watch for inflation.
We cannot say that it won't have an impact. But the general trend is that people are hoping for better earnings outcome. The industries that are able to pass on the inflationary effect will more or less do better.
Inflation is the hot topic this year. So do you think the RBI will do faster policy tightening in rest of financial year FY23?
Inflation is a hot subject not only in India but across the world, and central bankers across the world are swinging into action to keep inflation under control because it has to be tamed at the right time with the right measures.
RBI also did their bit even before scheduled meetings to express their intention about keeping the inflation rates under check and the recent RBI Governor also made a statement saying that it's a no brainer to raise interest rates to check and keep inflation under control.
The US dollar index corrected 3 percent after hitting 20-year high earlier in May and also US bond yields gyrating in a range below 3 percent for couple of weeks now. What are your thoughts and what does it indicate?
The dollar index and even the volatility that we are seeing with the US Treasuries is actually affecting the flow of money. As and when people start reinvesting in US treasuries, globally the flow of money will get impacted. Especially for an emerging market like India, the dollar index going very high is negative because there are a lot of outflows.
We are an attractive destination at a soft dollar index, and also with the rise in interest rates in the US means that a lot of large monies and the liquidity flow which was so easily present in the last two years may be curtailed to a certain extent. A reversal in these will mean flows could come back to our markets.

By Andrew Alderson at Lord's
The Black Caps could introduce Ajaz Patel back into their XI for tonight's opening cricket test against England at Lord's.
Patel has not featured since becoming the third player – after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble - to take 10 wickets in an innings at Mumbai in December.
Coach Gary Stead's observation of drier pitches in England with shorter cut grass and the left-arm orthodox spinner's rigorous involvement at practice suggests a return is in prospect.
He spent a considerable period delivering to baseball-gloved bowling coach Shane Jurgensen away from the team's general warm-up.
Colin de Grandhomme looks set to play as an all-rounder with Daryl Mitchell named as a specialist number five batter. Henry Nicholls is yet to recover from injury.
Trent Boult has made a bid for late selection, meaning Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson's chances could be in jeopardy if Tim Southee and Neil Wagner are retained.
The line-up remains a work-in-progress but Patel, Boult, Southee and Wagner each had decent batting sessions.

Advertise with NZME.Captain Kane Williamson was asked to rate Boult's chances.
"Obviously he's just arrived and needs to get through training today. He's keen as, but there are a number of things to consider.
"Trent is a world-class player and we've got great variety in our bowling attack. So we're weighing up the surface and the balance."
Elsewhere, Williamson said his troublesome elbow is fit for purpose after missing the home summer but playing the Indian Premier League.
"It's significantly improved. Having that time out of the game was beneficial to get back on track. It was a frustrating period, but it's nice to be back into full training with the team after watching from the sidelines for so long."
England coach and former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum still captured his share of the limelight, a day out from the game.
His influence is expected to inject the hosts with renewed purpose after winning one of their last 17 tests.
"Baz has pretty much done everything like he explained," new skipper Ben Stokes said.

Advertise with NZME."He hasn't thrown one ball yet. He is all about making everyone feel, in his words, '10-feet tall' and I think it is obvious the way he will speak in the dressing room because of the way he played cricket."
Stokes also offered an insight to his approach ahead of his maiden test as captain.
"I want everyone to feel free.
"Obviously there has been talk around the word 'reset', which is something I don't particularly like. I just see this as a complete and utter blank canvas.
"We have so much experience in that dressing room – myself, Joe [Root], Broady [Stuart Broad], Jimmy [Anderson] and Jonny [Bairstow] … but everyone is starting fresh whether you are [debutant] Matt Potts or Jimmy Anderson."
Williamson was asked for his reaction to McCullum's move.
"It's a great opportunity for Brendon who's such a positive guy and an amazing leader. He tends to have a strong impact wherever he goes.
"Clearly the English set-up have seen some strong qualities in him that they want too."
Is he concerned McCullum might have inside information?
"Well, we're good mates," Williamson confessed.
"And he's mates with a number of the guys so there's a lot of history there. But for us, it's focusing on what we want to do and no doubt they'll be working hard to do the same."
Stokes took time to stride down the pitch to question the ticket prices.
The lack of sales for a contest between the revitalised hosts and world champion visitors has surprised.
Hundreds remain spare for the opening day and thousands across the test.
Pundits have voiced disapproval that many are over-priced between $200 and $320 per day during a cost-of-living crisis and the Queen's 70th jubilee.
"One thing that we have always received as an England cricket team is amazing support," Stokes said.
"Obviously the Barmy Army are well-renowned, but even those who don't associate themselves with any supporters group are fantastic.
"The ticket prices are something that I think is going to have to be looked at properly. What is cricket - or sport - without fans?" | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/cricket-black-caps-ponder-late-changes-to-bowling-attack-ahead-of-first-england-test/4JL22CM5EF4PF3R3TYXJTWCVCA/ | 2022-06-02T04:09:31Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/cricket-black-caps-ponder-late-changes-to-bowling-attack-ahead-of-first-england-test/4JL22CM5EF4PF3R3TYXJTWCVCA/ | true | 1 |
The Queen has seen politicians come and go during her 70 years on the throne, however she has always made time to wine and dine US Presidents.
During her reign there have been 14 US Presidents and the Queen has met all of them, bar one.
Lyndon B. Johnson, who took over from John F. Kennedy after he was assassinated in 1963, is the only US head of state never to meet Her Majesty.
And, despite being Princess Elizabeth in 1951 she still met the US President (Harry S. Truman) at the time while she was on a tour of the country.
Throughout the last seven decades the Queen has given official state visits to just three presidents (Trump, Obama and Bush Jnr).
So, here's all the times the Queen has met US presidents:
Harry S. Truman
When King George VI was on the throne the Queen went to America to visit the US President when she was still a Princess.
The Queen was accompanied by her husband Prince Phillip on the trip in October 1951.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In 1957, the Queen headed stateside for her first trip to the United States since her coronation following her father's death in 1952.
Dwight D. Eisenhower put on a state banquet for Her Majesty. At the dinner the US president wore a British Order of Merit that had been awarded to him by King George VI.
John F. Kennedy
During his first year in office President Kennedy travelled to the United Kingdom in 1961. He was accompanied on the trip by the first lady Jacqueline Kennedy who also attended a banquet at Buckingham Palace.
On his return to the United States the President sent the Queen a birthday message.
Following JFK's death in 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson took over, however the Queen never met him during his time in power.
Richard Nixon
In October 1970, Richard Nixon travelled to the United Kingdom to meet the then Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath.
During the visit the Queen met Nixon at Chequers, the Prime Minister's weekend country home.
Gerald Ford
The Queen headed to Washington DC to meet Republican president Gerald Ford at the White House in 1976. The United States was celebrating its 200th birthday and to mark the occasion the president put on a state dinner for the Queen.
At the dinner the Queen danced with the US President.
Jimmy Carter
In 1977, Democrat president Jimmy Carter headed to the United Kingdom for an official visit.
During his trip he met then Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan at Downing Street and attended a banquet at Buckingham Palace which was put on by the Queen.
The banquet came following a meeting between the Summit of Seven (now the G7) in London. Leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan were also present at the dinner.
Ronald Reagan
The Queen met Republican president Ronald Reagan on a number of occasions, however the most famous by far is the time the pair went horse riding around her Windsor estate.
Reagan headed to the UK following a G7 summit in France where they rode horses the Queen was given by the Canadian Mounted Police.
George H. W. Bush
The Queen made a third state visit to the United States with a 10-day trip in May 1991. George H. W. Bush travelled around part of the country with Her Majesty with them taking in a baseball game in Baltimore.
She also became the first British monarch to step on Texan soil.
When Bush died in 2018, the Queen released a statement saying: "Prince Philip and I remember our days in Texas in 1991 with great fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with President Bush’s family and the American people."
Bill Clinton
Towards the end of his time in power Bill Clinton headed to the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland for a three-day tour in 2000. The Queen invited the Democrat president to tea at Buckingham Palace.
The president was accompanied by his wife Hilary and daughter Chelsea on the trip.
George W. Bush
In 2007, the Queen headed to the United States again for her fourth state visit and 16 years after meeting George W. Bush's father in the White House.
The president and first lady Laura Bush held a dinner for Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Barack Obama
The Queen put on a state dinner for Barack Obama and his wife Michelle at Buckingham Palace in 2011, two years after she met the pair for the first time.
Obama met the Queen during a visit to the UK in 2009 while he attended the G20 summit in London.
During his 2011 visit Obama presented the monarch with an album of photos and memorabilia which documented her trip to the US in 1939 when she was a teenager.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump and his wife Melania embarked on a four-day visit of the UK in 2018. During the trip the US President met the Queen at Windsor Castle when he walked in front of her while inspecting the a Guard of Honour, formed of the Coldstream Guards.
To mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day the US President visited the UK again in 2019. He met the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Joe Biden
While on a visit to the UK in June 2021 for the G7 summit in Cornwall Joe Biden met the Queen at Windsor Castle with his wife Jill.
The visit included a Guard of Honour and tea at the monarch's residence.

Brady, Rodgers beat Mahomes, Allen in The Match originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers had to show Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen how it’s done on the golf course.
The two legendary quarterbacks beat the two younger stars in the sixth edition of The Match on Wednesday at the Wynn Golf Club in Paradise, Nev. It marks Rodgers’ second win at the charity event, while Brady gets his first victory to go along with his seven Super Bowl rings.
The Brady-Rodgers duo took the first two holes in the match play competition. Mahomes and Allen crept back into the lead after the Kansas City Chiefs signal caller hit a birdie putt on the eighth hole. Brady drew the score even with a putt on the 10th hole and the two sides split the 11th.
It came down to the last hole. Rodgers and Mahomes both got their tee shots onto the green on the 12th hole, but Rodgers’ was significantly closer to the pin. Still, Allen nearly sank the putt from Mahomes’ spot.
Brady nearly clinched the win with his next putt. After Brady missed slightly right, Rodgers came through and closed out the victory for the tandem:
Along with the golf, there were plenty of shenanigans between the four quarterbacks.

Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and more
Mahomes and Allen have shown their greatness in the NFL, but The Match was a reminder that Brady and Rodgers aren’t going anywhere just yet. | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/tom-brady-aaron-rodgers-beat-patrick-mahomes-josh-allen-in-the-match/2751706/ | 2022-06-02T04:25:12Z | https://www.necn.com/news/sports/tom-brady-aaron-rodgers-beat-patrick-mahomes-josh-allen-in-the-match/2751706/ | false | 10 |
What: Division II State Track and Field Championships.
Where: Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, Ohio State University, 2450 Fred Taylor Dr., Columbus
When: June 3 (field events 9:30 a.m., running events 1:30 p.m.); June 4 (field events 9:30 a.m., running events 1 p.m.).
Area boys qualifiers: Avon—Brookside—Jaycob Kolleda (high jump); Drew Pospisil (discus). Keystone—Evan Maiden (4×100); Alex Nagle (4×100); Ryne Shackelford (100, 200, 4×100, long jump); Jacob Stempowski (4×100). Vermilion—Ayden Bath (high jump, long jump); Hayden Valenti (discus, shot put).
Area girls qualifiers: Brookside—Jessica Gower (300 low hurdles); Heaven Vanzant (long jump). Keystone—Aubrie Cindia (high jump).
What to look for: In the past two weeks, three all-time Division II state records have been broken. It will take awhile to see if the OHSAA ratifies each mark, but the performances are out there. The point is, this could be a special meet, with some of the best performers ever seen on the Division II level.
First, there’s Ryne Shackelford of Keystone, who broke the long jump mark at the Orrville District meet with a leap of 24-8. The junior is the top seed in the 200 and the long jump and is seeded second in the 100 and the 4×100 relay, along with Even Maiden, Jacob Stempowski and Alex Nagle.
Next are the boys 4×100 relay of Hawken, which ran a state-record 41.70 in the preliminaries at the Perry District meet and then came back in the finals with a 41.53 clocking. Last week at Austintown, they ran 41.85, a few strides ahead of Keystone’s 42.10. Those are the top two times in the state.
Then, at the regional meet at Piqua, Cincinnati Indian Hill senior Elizabeth Whaley ran the fastest 1,600 in state history regardless of division, clocking an astounding 4:39.71. No female from Ohio had ever broken 4:41 before that race.
As for area boys, Vermilion’s Ayden Bath is the top-ranked high jumper and comes in at third in the long jump. Teammate Hayden Valenti is ranked eighth in the shot put. Also, Fairview’s Tyson Crandall is fifth in the 800 and Brookside’s Jaycob Kolleda is fifth in the high jump. Teammate Drew Pospisil is 10th in the discus.
For area girls, Brookside’s Heaven Vanzant is ranked sixth in the long jump and teammate Jessica Gower sits eighth in the low hurdles, an event that saw her place fifth in the state last year.
The team races should be exciting, as several teams appear to have the ability to score more than 30 points, which usually is the number that puts teams in contention. With Shackelford leading the way, Keystone should be up there, but so should Perry, Glenville, defending champion Woodridge. Beachwood, Hawken and Alliance Marlington, all from the Austintown Regional. Toledo Central Catholic should be in the hunt as well. With so many contenders, the points could be spread out, which could result in a relatively low total for the eventual champion.
Among the girls, Dayton Oakwood is the defending champion, having scored most of its points last year in the distance events. Only one athlete graduated from that team, so expect Oakwood to be up there again. Toledo Central Catholic is very strong in the sprints, relays and hurdles, and Austintown winner Woodridge should score well in the distance and hurdles. Beachwood and Creston Norwayne could also be in contention. | https://www.morningjournal.com/2022/06/01/division-ii-state-track-and-field-meet-capsule/ | 2022-06-02T04:27:50Z | https://www.morningjournal.com/2022/06/01/division-ii-state-track-and-field-meet-capsule/ | false | 1 |
Johnny Depp verdict - live: Actor ‘humbled’ by court win as Amber Heard says case ‘setback’ for women
Follow for the latest updates
Depp verdict: Actor wins defamation trial as Heard awarded one counterclaim
The jury in the defamation trial opposing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard reached a verdict on the third day of deliberations, handing a victory to Depp and a partial win to Heard.
Depp sued Heard for $50m for implying he abused her in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed. Although she didn’t name him, he claims her allegations impacted his ability to work. She pursued a $100m counterclaim.
The jury found that Heard defamed Depp on all three counts and awarded him $10m in compensatory damages and $5m in punitive damages. Heard was awarded $2m in compensatory damages, but no punitive damages.
In closing arguments, Depp’s lawyers asked jurors to “give him his life back” after it was “ruined” by Heard’s domestic abuse allegations. On Wednesday, the “humbled” actor thanked them for doing so and said a new chapter was now beginning for him after six years.
In their closing, Heard’s lawyers said ruling in favour of Depp would make jurors an “accomplice” to his abuse and to his “campaign of global humiliation”. In a statement, she expressed “disappointment beyond words” and said she was heartbroken, claiming that it was a “setback” for women.
Alafair Hall, a spokesperson for Heard, has also revealed to The New York Times that she has decided to appeal the verdict.

Johnny Depp trial verdict: How much money in damages do actor and Amber Heard owe each other?
Johnny Depp has prevailed in his $50m (£40m) defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard over accusations of domestic abuse.
A seven-person civil jury in Virginia found that Ms Heard defamed the Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts star when she implied he abused her in a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post.
The jury also upheld one of Ms Heard’s three claims in a $100m countersuit against Mr Depp and his lawyer, who had called her original allegations in 2016 an “ambush, a hoax”.
Neither side, however, got the full amount of damages they were seeking.

What did Amber Heard’s Washington Post op-ed actually say?
The current court case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard centres around an opinion piece Heard wrote in 2018 for The Washington Post, titled: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.”
Mr Depp has sued Ms Heard, his ex-wife, for alleged defamation over the article. While Mr Depp was not named, he claims her allegations the piece made it difficult for him to land movie roles.

New Delhi: Bollywood's young and happening star, Ananya Panday has managed to make her own solid fan following ever since her debut with 'Student Of The Year 2' alongside Tara Sutaria. The girls were paired opposite Tiger Shroff in this Dharma venture three years back. Today, Ananya is making her own place and has some interesting projects in her kitty.
ANANYA PANDAY TOLD TO FIX HER BODY
Ananya Panday in her latest appearance on The Ranveer Show talked about facing casual sexism in the initial days of her career when she was asked to get a boob job and fill in a little more. She recalled the incident and how it was very hurtful. "As soon as I started working, people started saying things like ‘you should fix this and fix that, like get a boob job or change something about your face. And, it is said very casually and not in direct words that you sometimes even don’t pick it up. They would say, ‘just fill up a little more. Put on some weight", she said.
Adding more, Ananya quipped, "Is that what people care about? Is that what I am reduced to? Is there nothing about me paramount to my waist size or chest size? The worst thing you can do to someone is judging them for their body."

Depp and Heard face uncertain career prospects after trial
A jury's finding that both Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, Amber Heard, were defamed in a long-running public dispute capped a lurid six-week trial that also raised questions about whether the two actors can overcome tarnished reputations.

Sharon Osbourne was shocked that Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard.
The 58-year-old star had sued his ex-wife Amber, 36, for $50 million over a 2018 piece she had written that alleged she was a victim of domestic abuse and although she countersued him for $100 million because she had not named him in the article" but former 'X Factor' judge Sharon, 69, "never expected" him to win.
Speaking on TalkTV's 'Piers Morgan Uncensored', she said: "Wow, it wasn’t what I was expecting. I mean, I wanted Johnny to win but I didn’t expect him to."
Johnny received $15 million in damages as a result of the case and the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star - who has Lily-Rose, 22, and Jack, 20 with former partner Vanessa Paradis - admitted that his life had been "forever changed" by the case.
He said: "Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me, were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye. False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career."
Meanwhile, 'Aquaman' actress Amber, 36 - who was married to Johnny from 2015 until 2017 - admitted she was "heartbroken" as she thinks the verdict will be a "setback" to women's rights.
She said: "It is a setback. It sets back the clock to 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 that we won in the UK. I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American – to speak freely and openly." | https://www.hiawathaworldonline.com/news/entertainment/sharon-osbourne-did-not-expect-johnny-depp-to-win-his-court-case-against-amber-heard/article_e8780650-1736-5cc1-9b15-e39a02fd02e5.html | 2022-06-02T04:31:27Z | https://www.hiawathaworldonline.com/news/entertainment/sharon-osbourne-did-not-expect-johnny-depp-to-win-his-court-case-against-amber-heard/article_e8780650-1736-5cc1-9b15-e39a02fd02e5.html | true | 2 |

U.S. Faces Multi-Decade High Inflation — Can It Be Reversed?
Jun. 1 2022, Published 2:06 p.m. ET
While the demand recovered faster than expected as COVID-19 vaccines became available, the supply side couldn’t keep up. The supply-side experienced unprecedented logistical issues, which also upped the prices of many raw materials, transportation, and other expenses. That led to an overall higher price level in the economy. Since inflation in the U.S. is running at a multi-decade high, people want to know if inflation can be reversed.
Before we answer whether inflation can be reversed, you should know what prompts inflation in the first place. Inflation could be due to many factors such as currency inflation, credit inflation, deficit-induced inflation, demand-pull, and cost-push inflation. The current U.S. inflation has elements of both demand-pull and cost-push inflation.
Central banks have taken tightening measures to curb inflation.
There are several ways to curb and even reverse inflation. One of the most obvious and popular ways is for the central bank to tighten the credit and money supply in the economy. Currently, the Fed is following this path to curb U.S.’s multi-decade high inflation. Not only it is dialing back its bond-buying program, but it's also raising interest rates at a high clip.
Interest rates determine how costly it is for consumers and businesses to borrow. When rates increase, borrowing typically decreases, which should lead to a delay in new investments. The hope is also that this should slow down the economy only enough to ease the supply chain pressures. However, these measures aren't without risk. Slowing inflation could lead to a slowing economy and at times make it slip into a recession.
The government has mandated inflation control measures.
There are other measures that could help reverse inflation. However, most of the measures can’t be used as quick-fix solutions. In fact, they only work in the medium to long term. The measures have to be used in addition to short-term fixes.
These measures include adding to supply capacity and removing the supply chain constraints. In the current inflation scenario in the U.S., many mines, factories and plants were shuttered down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While demand recovered quickly, it takes time for some of these projects to come online again. This has been a major cause of shortages and high inflation in many pockets.
Price controls can help bring inflation under control.
At times, the government also tries to take matters into its own hands to control runaway inflation. There have been cases of price controls put in place by governments for specific goods. In 1971, President Nixon implemented strict price controls to counter rising inflation. After World War II, the Roosevelt administration also imposed strict price controls.
Many economists argue that until supply bottlenecks can be sorted out, price controls are necessary to prevent prices from shooting up. However, most economists don’t view price controls as an effective way to control inflation.
The government could take other targeted measures to reduce the prices of specific strategic goods and services. For example, the government released strategic oil reserves to reduce gasoline prices. President Biden has announced the largest release ever of oil from global reserves to reduce gas prices. | https://marketrealist.com/p/can-inflation-be-reversed/ | 2022-06-02T05:06:09Z | https://marketrealist.com/p/can-inflation-be-reversed/ | false | 1 |

These are ndings show little alter for many quality parameter. The variation LOS ANGELES – Nothing like sweeping one of the most feared lineups in baseball to give the young Pittsburgh Pirates a major boost of confidence.
“Pretty cool,” grinned first baseman Michael Chavis.
Bryan Reynolds hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning, Rodolfo Castro drove in four runs in three innings, and the Pirates beat the Dodgers 8-4 on Wednesday night to complete their first sweep in Los Angeles in nearly 22 years.
“I'm really proud of our group because we're running out a really young group of players, a bunch of rookies," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said, “and to come into this environment and to do that, it's pretty special.”
The NL West-leading Dodgers lost their third in a row for the first time since dropping four straight from May 11-14 against the Pirates and Phillies. They were swept for the first time this season and lost five of six to the Pirates.
It doesn't get any easier. The New York Mets are in town for a series starting Thursday between the NL's two top teams.
The scrappy Pirates turned four double plays and improved to 11-13 on the road with their first sweep of the Dodgers since Aug. 7-9, 2015. They hadn’t swept a series at Dodger Stadium since Sept. 4-6, 2000.
“It just shows them they can play with anybody,” Shelton said.
Chase De Jong (1-0) got the win, giving up one hit in 1 1/3 innings. He struck out one and walked one in his first outing in a week.
Reynolds' two-out shot off Mitch White (1-1) in the fifth gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead. They took an early lead for the third straight game on Josh VanMeter's RBI single in the first.
Chavis doubled leading off the eighth and Castro followed with a two-run blast — his first of the season — that traveled 413 feet into the loge level, extending the Pirates' lead to 5-2. He went 2 for 2 and drove two more runs on a shallow single to right in the ninth after replacing the injured VanMeter in the sixth.
“That was huge,” Chavis said of Castro's performance. “It's tough coming off the bench and he's going to be big for us.”
Mookie Betts had a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Dodgers, who pounded out 12 hits.
The Dodgers tied the game 1-all in the fourth on Chris Taylor’s RBI line-drive single that scored Trea Turner. Turner led off with a scorching line-drive double into the left field corner to extend his 24-game hitting streak, tops in the majors this season.
The Dodgers loaded the bases in that inning, but the Pirates turned their first double play of the game to squash the threat.
Hanser Alberto grounded into a 5-3-5 double play in the sixth. The Dodgers challenged the call at third base, where Ke’Bryan Hayes fielded the ball. He threw across the diamond to first baseman Chavis, who got Alberto and fired back to third, where a sliding Taylor was called out.
It was typical of how things went for the Dodgers in the series when they had runners either picked off or thrown out.
In the seventh, the Dodgers had runners on second and third, when Turner flied out to center. Reynolds made the catch and a pinpoint throw to the plate to erase Gavin Lux and end the inning.
In the eighth, Taylor singled before Edwin Ríos hit a comebacker on the first pitch to Chris Stratton, who turned and threw to second to start the Pirates' fourth double play.
Pirates starter José Quintana allowed two runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out three and walked one.
White gave up three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out a career-high seven and walked two.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Pirates: VanMeter was removed because of left hand discomfort.
Dodgers: OF Cody Bellinger (left leg tightness) wasn't in the lineup for the third straight day, but entered as a defensive replacement in the sixth. ... LHP Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) threw a bullpen session. He'll head out on a rehab assignment Saturday.
UP NEXT
Pirates: RHP JT Brubaker (0-4, 4.15 ERA) starts Friday in the home opener of a three-game series against Arizona. He's gotten just two runs of support in his last four starts.
Dodgers: RHP Tony Gonsolin (5-0, 1.80) faces the Mets for the first time in his career on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series with the NL East leaders.

Brady Chapel hosts Centennial Celebration and Open House on Memorial Day
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - One of the most well-known pieces of Pocatello’s history is celebrating 100 years since its dedication.
The Friends of the Brady Chapel and the Pocatello Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) are hosting the Brady Chapel’s Centennial Celebration and Open House at the Chapel, located in Mountain View Cemetery on Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The HPC, in coordination with the non-profit “Friends of the Brady Chapel”, is raising funds to restore the Brady Chapel. Donations will be accepted at the open house.
“Support from the community is crucial in preserving the Brady Chapel,” said Anglesey. “In doing so, we hope the Chapel may be used and enjoyed by the public for generations to come.”

DANVILLE — Property owners with homes assessed at $100,000 in Montour County will pay an additional $23.36 a year, for a total Danville Area School District tax bill of $1,193.89. Property owners with the same assessment in the Northumberland County portion of the district will pay $119.34 more, for a total district tax bill of $6,098.36.
District Business Manager Bobbi Ely adjusted the 2022-2023 district budget the school board adopted a week ago to reflect a 2 percent, instead of a 4 percent, tax hike.
The final budget lists expenditures at $45.9 million ($45,905,278), while revenue was adjusted to $44.1 million ($44,114,356) to reflect the smaller tax increase. The district will use $1.79 million in reserve funds to balance the budget. Ely said the general operating fund balance, as of June 30, 2021, was $7.36 million, and the capital reserve fund balance as of that date was $5.25 million, for a total of $12.61 million.
The district-wide millage will be 13.0261 mills, Ely reported.
“Farmstead and Homestead property tax relief has increased $29 per parcel, going from $116 in 2021-2022 to $145 in 2022-2023,” Ely stated.
The difference in the tax rates between the counties is based on when the counties were last assessed.
Northumberland County properties were last assessed in 1972, while those in Montour County were last assessed in 2006. Today, a home assessed at $100,000 in in Montour County has a market value of $122,204.57, but a home with the same assessment in Northumberland County comes with a market value of $624,219.73, according to Ely. The school district includes Riverside and Rush Township in Northumberland County.
The preliminary budget the school directors passed in April included a 4 percent tax increase, but some board members balked at raising taxes. Wayne Brookhart even suggested at the May 23 special meeting not to raise taxes at all. Some other board members, including Dr. Yohannes Getachew and Derl Reichard, as well as Ely, were concerned the district would fall deeper into debt without a tax hike. Last Thursday, Brookhart suggested the 2 percent increase.
Getachew, who had cautioned against not raising taxes at all, said, “What happened in the last couple of years is, we are accumulating debt. Any loan or debt not addressed immediately will hurt us down the road.”
The eight board members present narrowly rejected a 4 percent tax increase for the coming school year in a tie vote. Dr. Sandy Green was absent. Instead, the board agreed to the 2 percent real estate tax increase.
There are no staff cuts in the budget, board members and Superintendent Ricki Boyle said. Boyle said the district is adding a music teacher, a second school psychologist and a full-time athletic director.
In the vote for the budget with a 4 percent increase, board Vice President John Croll, Getachew, Reichard and Chris Huron, voted yes and Brookhart, Sherry Cooper, Richard Vognetz and President Michael Clouser voted no.
Only Huron voted no on the budget with a 2 percent tax increase. | https://www.dailyitem.com/news/northumberland_county/danville-budget-adjusted-for-smaller-tax-increase/article_42958d16-e132-11ec-86c6-a3c2fbecb641.html | 2022-06-02T05:21:43Z | https://www.dailyitem.com/news/northumberland_county/danville-budget-adjusted-for-smaller-tax-increase/article_42958d16-e132-11ec-86c6-a3c2fbecb641.html | false | 1 |
Class B: (1) Victor 9, (2) Canandaigua 5
In a rematch of last year’s sectional title game, Victor got their revenge on the Braves as they took home the Class B title.
Victor, the number two team in the country in the latest Nike/USA Lacrosse rankings, jumped out to a 5-2 lead thanks to a pair of goals by Duke commit Eva Pronti.
The Braves netted one before the half then Nola Weaver made it just a 6-5 game midway through the second half.
But Devin Livingston shut the door on any comeback hopes as she answered to make the score 7-5. The Blue Devils netted a pair of empty netters to secure a four-goal win.
Victor will take on the Section VI representatives, Frontier, in the Far West Regionals on Saturday, June 4th at 1:00 p.m. at Pittsford Sutherland High School.
Class D: (3) Pal-Mac 9, (1) Aquinas 8
Molly Seither and Faith Beals came up clutch for the Red Raiders as their late-game heroics powered Pal-Mac to their fifth straight sectional title.
Tied at 8 with less than 30 seconds remaining, Seither somehow got a shot off in traffic and found the back of the net to give Pal-Mac a one-goal lead.
But the Li’l Irish would control the ensuing draw and drew a foul to give Aquinas a free position shot with ten seconds remaining to tie the game. The Li’l Irish shooter went low and Beals got the clutch save to earn the championship.
Reagan Diehl led the Red Raiders offensively with three goals and one assist. Jenna Santelli and Seither each had two goals while Kylie Waeghe and Lily Boesel each had one goal. Beals had four saves on the night.
Pal-Mac will take on the Section VI representative on Saturday, June 4th at 6:00 p.m. at Pittsford Sutherland High School. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/sports/high-school-sports/victor-pal-mac-win-girls-lacrosse-titles/ | 2022-06-02T05:22:04Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/sports/high-school-sports/victor-pal-mac-win-girls-lacrosse-titles/ | false | 1 |

In 2020, Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was the top recipient of money from members of the "gun rights" industry. According to Open Secrets, his campaign received a total of $142,653 for the 2019-2020 cycle. That put the so-called gun lobby at 33 on the list, far behind other industries like real estate and accounting. Health professionals alone gave roughly seven times more money to Scalise ($1,072,904) than the gun lobby did. Meanwhile, individuals who simply put down "retired," instead of any industry at all, gave 100 times more, just shy of $14 million.
Scalise's corporate-connected and PAC donors tell a similar story. You won't find the NRA, Smith & Wesson, or anybody else from the "gun lobby," among the top corporate or PAC contributors.
And yet, Scalise often touts his A+ rating from the NRA. For some opponents of gun rights, this is shocking since Scalise was gravely wounded in 2017 by a mass shooter. The brush with death, Scalise would say a few months later (in the wake of another mass shooting), only "fortified" his support for gun rights.
Say what you will about Scalise's views on guns, they weren't "bought and paid for" by the gun lobby. The same holds for the Republican Party generally. In 2020, the NRA gave less than $1 million directly to candidates — putting it 996th on the list of top donors. It spent $5.4 million on lobbying, making it the 169th most lavish lobbyist. As Stephen Gutowski, founder of The Reload, a site focused on gun issues and politics, wrote in The Atlantic, since 2012, "the NRA's highest contribution ranking has been 294th, and its highest lobbying ranking has been 85th."
And yet, this claim that politicians like Scalise, and the GOP generally, are "owned" by the gun lobby is an article of faith for many. When some Republicans made the questionable choice of speaking at the NRA convention in Texas, just days after the horrific mass shooting in Uvalde, the New York Times declared, "There is no better manifestation of the gun lobby's total capture of so much of the GOP."
This gets the political reality backwards: The "gun lobby" is the tail, not the dog. Indeed, the NRA is a hot mess, and has probably never been weaker. It's even tried to declare bankruptcy. Whatever you think of its policies, the GOP is not captured by puppet-masters who have its "balls in a money clip," in Jimmy Kimmel's colorful phrase. Republicans are following the will of their voters, or at least the voters who reliably turn out and vote on gun issues, particularly in primaries.
Indeed, there's something cowardly, lazy and undemocratic about blaming everything on the gun lobby. Politicians and activists have a tendency to pick fights with the opponents they want, rather than the ones they have. By demonizing a few unaccountable villains pulling the strings behind the curtains, advocates for tighter gun laws don't have to confront the reality that millions of Americans simply disagree with them. A Pew Research Center survey in 2021, for instance, found that around half of Americans don't believe that stricter gun ownership laws will lead to fewer mass shootings.
Compare the way the media talks about abortion rights vs. gun rights. Planned Parenthood and similar groups give at least as much to Democrats but the only people who regularly use the phrase "abortion lobby" are abortion rights foes. Supporters and the press frame their position as ones of heartfelt conviction that reflects the views of Democratic voters or even women generally.
To the extent groups like the NRA and Planned Parenthood influence politics, it's by informing, galvanizing and representing voters — not by bribing politicians.
Some blame the Senate's "undemocratic" structure because less populous and more rural red states are over-represented, and support for guns — and gun ownership — is higher. Even if you buy this entirely, the Senate isn't the source of the stalemate; voters are. Democrats need swing state voters, and those voters resist New York style gun control. Besides, if your strategy for passing sweeping new legislation requires getting rid of the Senate, then you don't have a strategy.
All of this may change because of the horror in Uvalde, and I certainly hope lawmakers find some workable reforms, even if comprehensive solutions are unlikely. But if Uvalde does break the logjam, it won't be because the gun lobby loosened its grip. It will be because voters changed their minds.

If you’re going to see Jose Feliciano at the Levoy Theater in Millville this Friday, expect to hear “Light My Fire.” Feliciano’s jazz-infused cover of The Doors’ classic has become a classic in its own right since its release in 1968, garnering two Grammys—Best New Artist of the Year and Best Pop Male Performance.
But Feliciano won’t promise to perform the equally popular “Feliz Navidad.” Where “Light My Fire” is a reinterpretation of someone else’s song, “Feliz Navidad” is Feliciano’s own creation. Over the years and the decades, the song has become his “Jingle Bell Rock,” his “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” his “White Christmas,” and he keeps a tight lid on when he brings this classic out to play.
If this were December, chances are excellent he’d put it on his set list. But this is June, and the warmth of an approaching summer will likely keep “Feliz Navidad” under wrap, under lock and key.
Then again, maybe not.
“ ‘Light My Fire’ is an old and good friend,” Feliciano says. “But ‘Feliz Navidad’ is my baby and I protect her by not overexposing her in the off-season. Once in a great while I’ll be coerced into playing it, like in China, in June, a few years back.”
Can an intimate audience in Millville coax the same reaction?
After more than 50 years as a performer, Feliciano has such a deep catalogue to choose from, in both English and Spanish, that “Feliz Navidad” might not be missed. A recent setlist from Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle on April 3, included ”Chico and the Man,” from the sitcom of the same name, “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “In My Life,” “California Dreaming,” “To Love Somebody,” “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” and “The Thrill is Gone.” An eclectic roster of selections to be sure.
For Feliciano, a setlist is a novel idea.
“I decided to start working up a setlist to give my band a fair head-start but primarily we choose tunes relative to the venue and its audience, culturally speaking.”
Feliciano is proud of the band he’s put together, especially the part about his two sons.
“I have the best band ever,” he says. “We are six players plus our technical director. We have our keyboard player/musical director; our percussionist; our background vocalist, and my two sons: Jonnie is the drummer and tour manager and Mikey the bassist…and me.”
And with that musical brain trust in tow, Feliciano performs from 60 to 120 minutes depending on the venue and perhaps the vibe.
Music found Feliciano at the tender age of three. This was his calling, his life work even if he was unaware at that age. He admits he had no fallback positions. Born in Lares, Puerto Rico, at age 5 Feliciano relocated with his family to New York City. Young Feliciano learned to play the concertina at age 6, using a handful of records as his teacher.
At the age 8, he entertained his classmates at Public School 57, and at 9, performed at The Puerto Rican Theater in the Bronx. He taught himself to play the guitar again with nothing but records as his teacher, practicing for as many as 14 hours a day. Listening to the early energy of 1950s rock ’n roll, Feliciano added singing to his repertoire.
Hearing Feliciano perform, you sense at least two influences behind the spirit of his music. “Sam Cooke was an extraordinary singer; his phrasing and style was amazing, and Ray Charles had such soul and power in his music,” Feliciano says. “And I figured, with respect to each of them, that if they could do it, then I could, at least try.”
Hard to believe but Feliciano has been on the road for well over 50 years. Public School 155 in East Harlem was rechristened The José Feliciano Performing Arts School.
The industry has changed somewhat in that time, he says; “Travel is a bigger pain these days, but my audiences have broadened over the years and there is such a reciprocated sense of love and respect that exists between them and me….”
Feliciano shows no signs of slowing down, giving in to age despite seven Grammys to his name and an equal number of nominations. In 2020 he was the subject of a documentary: Jose Feliciano—Behind This Guitar. The film was an official selection of the SXSW festival, along with the Nashville Film Fest, where it won Best Latin film.
Last year, “Feliz Navidad” got the all-star “We Are the World”-treatment with a cast of performers that included Isabela Merced, Shaggy, Jon Secada, Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Gloria Gaynor, Big & Rich, Michael Bolton, Los Temerarios, Emmanuel, Isabella Castillo, Jencarlos Canela, Pitingo, Patricia Manterola, Jesus Molina, La India, Julio Iglesias Jr., and even Rachael Ray.
“She’s a talented gal and I was tickled she could join us,” Feliciano says of Ray.
Who knew?
Feliciano and his wife Susan worked on a book, too. They have three children including the two boys in the band. Melissa, born in 1988 is the oldest of the siblings. They live in a 300-year-old former tavern in Connecticut. He writes and records in his home studio and enjoys all things baseball.
“I’m working with a very dynamic record company that keeps me busy in the studio with new projects,” he says. “As for my family for the first time ever, we’ve been able to be together for extended periods of time and I’ve been able to really enjoy that as never before.” | https://snjtoday.com/a-legend-at-the-levoy/ | 2022-06-02T05:37:23Z | https://snjtoday.com/a-legend-at-the-levoy/ | false | 1 |
Varanasi, June 2
Narendra Nath Dubey aka 'Adig' (unrelenting), whose claim to fame was that he had contested each and every election in the country since 1984, died on Wednesday.
A lawyer by profession, Adig was a habitual and determined candidate who had contested many elections, including that of MLA, MLC, MP and Vice-President since 1984.
Despite aged in his early 70s, he had also contested against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2014 Lok Sabha election on the election symbol of a letter box.
However, he lost all the elections, forfeiting his deposit every time.
He came into limelight when the signatures of 50 Members of Parliament, endorsing his nomination for the 2012 Presidential election, were found to be fake.
Adig, a resident of Varanasi, aspired to find a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for losing a record number of polls. IANS

Indonesia has issued palm oil export permits for nearly 180,000 t - official
JAKARTA : Indonesia, has issued export permits for 179,464 tonnes of palm oil as of June 2, a senior trade ministry official said on Thursday, after a ban on shipments was lifted last week.
The government has issued 160 export permits to 18 companies for the shipments, said Oke Nurwan of the trade ministry.
Indonesia imposed a three-week export ban from April 28 to control soaring prices of cooking oil, made from palm oil, at home.
While exports have resumed, the government has put in place a obligatory domestic sales requirement for producers where export permits will only be granted if they have sold a portion of their products to the local market.
The government expected to allocated 1 million tonnes of palm oil exports based on domestic sales made during the export stoppage.
So far, permits have been issued for 87,109 tonnes of refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm oil and 90,255 tonnes of RBD olein, while the rest were issued for cooking oil, according to trade ministry data provided by Oke. | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/indonesia-has-issued-palm-oil-export-permits-nearly-180000-t-official-2722331?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-06-02T05:46:59Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/indonesia-has-issued-palm-oil-export-permits-nearly-180000-t-official-2722331?cid=cna_flip_070214 | true | 2 |

She said increase in prices of petroleum products was a difficult decision, but the government took this step in the larger interest of national economy.
The Minister said two thousand rupees will be given to each family under the package from next month, and 38 percent of total population will get benefit from this program. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/cabinet-approves-subsidy-worth-rs28b-for-deserving-families/ | 2022-06-02T05:50:59Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/cabinet-approves-subsidy-worth-rs28b-for-deserving-families/ | true | null |

Ghulam Fatima, Sidra and Bismah star in Pakistan’s thumping win
Leg-spinner Ghulam Fatima produced her career-best while seasoned opener Sidra Amin and captain Bismah Maroof stroked half-centuries as Pakistan recorded a crushing eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ICC Women’s Championship ODI series at the Southend Club, Karachi on Wednesday.
This was the first match in the 10-team ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25 cycle, the top six sides at the end of the cycle (including the tournament hosts) will qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
Set a 170-run target, Pakistan coasted him courtesy a 143-run alliance between Sidra and Bismah – Pakistan record for the second-wicket in ODIs. The previous best was an unbeaten 133-run partnership between Javeria Khan and Nahida Khan against Ireland at Colombo in 2017.
On Wednesday afternoon, Sidra and Bismah came together after the early loss of Muneeba Ali (14), the left-hander was dismissed with the total at 28 in the 8th over. The pair produced a series of impressive strokes while rotating the strike with great proficiency as Pakistan made light work of the paltry target.
The right-handed Sidra reached the fourth fifty of her career on the 82nd ball of her innings. Bismah registered her 16th fifty on the 84th ball of her innings. Sidra was bowled by Oshadi Ranasinghe for 76 with Pakistan mere two runs away from the target.
Sidra scored 76 off 119 balls (seven fours) while Bismah contributed 62 off 101 balls (five fours) Achini Kulasuriya and Oshadi Ranasinghe took the wickets to fall in the Pakistan innings.
Pakistan chased down the target in the 42nd over with 49 balls to spare, Omaima Sohail hit the winning run and returned unbeaten on one.
Earlier, Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu won the toss for the fourth consecutive time on the tour and like the T20Is, decided to bat first again.
Athapaththu lost her opening partner Hasini Perera (4) to a run out with the score at seven. The left-handed Sri Lankan captain was the second wicket to fall as she perished attempting a big hit against left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal. Athapaththu scored 25.
From 96 for three in the 30th over, Sri Lanka endured a mid-innings slump as they crashed to 96 for six in a space of four balls with Ghulam Fatima accounting for two wickets off successive balls. The first two go was Prasadani Weerakkody (30 off 44 balls, three fours), Oshadhi Ranasinghe was bowled the next ball without offering a shot.
Sri Lanka only reached 169 due to a fighting unbeaten 49 off 50 balls (five fours, one six) by Kavisha Dilhari. Ghulam Fatima produced the best spell of her ODI career finishing with hugely impressive figures of 10-2-21-4.
Pacer Fatima Sana took two wickets for 24 runs while Sadia took two for 30, two Sri Lankan batters were run out. The second ODI will be played on Friday. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/ghulam-fatima-sidra-and-bismah-star-in-pakistans-thumping-win/ | 2022-06-02T05:57:50Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/ghulam-fatima-sidra-and-bismah-star-in-pakistans-thumping-win/ | false | 1 |
LHC declares e-challan as illegal
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday declared e-ticketing challans as illegal which are being operated through the Safe Cities Authority cameras.
Justice Tariq Saleem accepted the plea against issuance of the e-ticketing challans and ruled that e-challans were being issued without cabinet approval, adding that e-challans cannot be issued without legislation.
The counsel for the petitioners had taken the position that e-challans were being issued illegally while the Safe City Authority had no legal right to challan through cameras.
The lawyer pleaded that Safe City Authority’s move to issue e-challans should be declared null and void. | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/lhc-declares-e-challan-as-illegal/ | 2022-06-02T06:05:19Z | https://nation.com.pk/2022/06/01/lhc-declares-e-challan-as-illegal/ | true | null |
Babar Asfaq, 32, supplied crack cocaine and heroin to undercover officers from behind a book shop in Wakefield in 2011.
The officers were first directed to Madina Book Centre, in Pinderfields Road, on July 4 that year after calling a drugs line.
Between that date and August 15, Asfaq supplied the officers with Class A drugs on 10 occasions.
On August 15, they were also sold the Class C drug Alprazolam after asking for a wrap of heroin.
On one occasion, officers were asked to clear rubbish after calling the drugs line and in return they were given crack cocaine by Asfaq.
Police also witnessed him supplying drugs to other people while they were at the book shop, which is now closed.
Prosecuting, Frances Pencheon said that Asfaq "disappeared" in 2011 and was at large until this year, when police received information that he was returning to the UK.
He was arrested at Manchester Airport on April 14.
Asfaq was charged with seven counts of supplying a controlled drug of Class A, crack cocaine, three counts of supplying a controlled drug of Class A, heroin, and one count of supplying a controlled drug of Class C, Alprazolam.
He pleaded guilty to all offences.
Leeds Crown Court heard that Asfaq, originally from Pakistan, was a 21-year-old student in Wakefield at the time the offences took place.
Kara Firth, mitigating, said he was in the country legitimately between 2010-2011 and when he finished his studies he returned to Pakistan.
At the time, he had not been arrested or spoken to by police in relation to the offences.
"He had no idea that he was wanted," Miss Firth said.
"Supporting his lack of knowledge, he returned to the UK 11 years later with his correct travel and identity documents."
The court heard that Asfaq has no previous convictions in the UK or in Pakistan.
He had returned to the UK with his parents on an EU visa and was planning to work and send money home to his wife and four young children.
Miss Firth added: "He's devastated of the shame he’s brought on his whole family.
"His past really has come to haunt him."
Recorder Edward Legard said there was "no suggestion" that Asfaq knew he was at risk of arrest when he left the UK.
He also accepted that Asfaq was acting under the instruction of others and that his awareness of the scale of the operation was "perhaps limited".
Passing his sentencing remarks, Recorder Legard said: "You were well aware of what you were doing and the fact that this was illegal.
"You are, no doubt, the proud father of four young children and you of all people must recognise the pain and suffering that drug addiction brings to so many.
"And even a low-level street dealer, even one acting under instruction as you are, is an important link in the chain - in terms of keeping Class A drugs in circulation.
"It is often the sad case that consequences of criminality fall heaviest, not on the offender, but the offender’s family."
Asfaq, of Derwent Road, Wakefield, was sentenced to 20 months in prison.
Once released from jail, Recorder Legard said it was likely the immigration service would decide to deport Asfaq to Pakistan. | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/crime/wakefield-drug-dealer-who-sold-heroin-to-undercover-police-is-jailed-after-disappearing-for-10-years-3717902 | 2022-06-02T06:05:59Z | https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/crime/wakefield-drug-dealer-who-sold-heroin-to-undercover-police-is-jailed-after-disappearing-for-10-years-3717902 | false | 2 |

IRVING, Texas --Wes Welker is the most publicized pass-catcher on New England's high-powered offense, and deservedly so. But the Patriots' offense has also evolved with the expanded use of their two second-year tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
With quarterback Tom Brady operating in a lot of two-tight ends, they've already combined for 41 catches, 558 yards and seven touchdowns.
Gronkowski, in particular, is a red zone threat with five scores. Hernandez could be referred to as a receiver, not a tight end. He missed two games with a sprained MCL but caught five passes for 56 yards in his return last week against the Jets. Brady targeted him a team-high nine times.
Both have made Welker's job easier and given New England's offense some new formation looks.
"They're very talented players," Welker said, "and Aaron and Gronk have done a great job of really just kind of learning the offense and understanding what we want and really have made a lot of plays for us. We're going to continue to look for them to help us make plays and help us move the ball up the field."
Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan could use a variety of personnel to combat the Patriots' young tight ends, including linebacker Sean Lee and his safeties. Backup cornerbacks Alan Ball and Frank Walker have also helped in the slot, where Hernandez operates some. | https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/patriots-have-double-threat-at-tight-end-323376 | 2022-06-02T06:17:38Z | https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/patriots-have-double-threat-at-tight-end-323376 | false | 1 |

Journalist detained in China denied calls, partner says
SYDNEY (AP) — The Australian partner of a journalist who has been detained in China for nearly two years says she is being denied the chance to speak with her family and consular staff, and her health is declining due to a poor prison diet. Journalist Cheng Lei was born in China and has Australian citizenship. She was first detained in August 2020 on suspicion of sharing state secrets. In March, she was tried in Beijing, with Australian diplomats denied permission to attend the proceedings. Since the trial, Chinese authorities have deferred announcing a verdict. Cheng, 46, had worked as a business journalist for Chinese state broadcaster China Global Television Network. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/06/01/journalist-detained-in-china-denied-calls-partner-says/ | 2022-06-02T06:23:37Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/06/01/journalist-detained-in-china-denied-calls-partner-says/ | true | null |

WRAPUP 2-Russians consolidate hold on Ukrainian city; U.S. to give Kyiv advanced rockets
Russian forces were attempting to extend and consolidate their hold on Ukraine's industrial city of Sievierodonetsk on Thursday, edging closer to claiming a big prize in their offensive in the eastern Donbas region. But in a boost for Ukraine, locked in a grinding struggle against Russia's invading army, the United States announced a $700 million weapons package for Kyiv that will include advanced rocket systems with a range of up to 80 km (50 miles).
Russian forces were attempting to extend and consolidate their hold on Ukraine's industrial city of Sievierodonetsk on Thursday, edging closer to claiming a big prize in their offensive in the eastern Donbas region.
But in a boost for Ukraine, locked in a grinding struggle against Russia's invading army, the United States announced a $700 million weapons package for Kyiv that will include advanced rocket systems with a range of up to 80 km (50 miles). Russia accused the United States of adding "fuel to the fire". Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the supply of the rocket launchers raised the risk of a "third country" being dragged into the conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Ukraine had promised it would not use the systems to hit targets inside Russia. U.S. President Joe Biden hopes extending Ukraine's artillery reach will help push Russia to negotiate an end to the war, now in its fourth month. After days of heavy fighting around Sievierodonetsk, much of which has been laid to waste by Russian bombardment, Russian troops were inching forward through city streets. Ukraine says about 70% of the city is under Russian control, with Russian troops in the city center.
"The enemy is conducting assault operations in the settlement of Sievierodonetsk," Ukraine's armed forces general staff said on Thursday, adding that Russian forces were also attacking in other parts of the east and northeast. At least four civilians were killed and 10 wounded in the east and northeast, other officials said.
Russia denies targeting civilians. If Russia fully captures Sievierodonetsk and its smaller twin Lysychansk on the west bank of the Siverskyi Donets river, it would hold all of Luhansk, one of two provinces in the Donbas that Moscow claims on behalf of separatists.
Capturing all of Luhansk would fulfill one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's main aims and solidify a shift in battlefield momentum after his forces were pushed back from the capital Kyiv and northern Ukraine. PINK CLOUD
Luhansk's regional governor, Serhiy Gaidai, told Reuters that civilians were sheltering from Russian attacks under a Sievierodonetsk chemical plant that he said was hit by an airstrike on Tuesday, releasing a large pink cloud. "There are civilians there in bomb shelters, there are quite a few of them left," Gaidai said. Reuters could not independently confirm the account.
About 15,000 people remained in the city, Gaidai said. Gaidai has warned that Ukrainian troops in Sievierodonetsk could be forced to retreat to Lysychansk, which he said was easier to defend from its vantage on a hill.
Putin sent his troops over the border on what he called a special military operation on Feb. 24 to disarm and "denazify" Ukraine. Ukraine and its allies call this a baseless pretext for a war of aggression and the West has imposed stringent sanctions on Russia in a bid to strangle its economy. Thousands of people have been killed in Ukraine and millions more displaced since the invasion began.
Amid worries about the global ramifications of the war, Ukraine's grain traders' union said this year's wheat harvest was likely to drop to 19.2 million tonnes from a record 33 million in 2021. Biden is due to meet NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday. Stoltenberg told reporters he would soon convene a meeting in Brussels with officials from Sweden, Finland, and Turkey to discuss Turkey's opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO.
WEAPONS PACKAGE Besides the advanced rocket systems, called HIMARS, the new U.S. package includes ammunition, counterfire radars, air surveillance radars, additional Javelin anti-tank missiles, and anti-armor weapons, officials said.
"The United States will stand with our Ukrainian partners and continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself," Biden said in a statement. The decision to give Ukraine the rocket systems was made after Washington received assurances from Kyiv that it would not use them to hit targets inside Russian territory, which could broaden the war.
Ukraine has been seeking Multiple Rocket Launch Systems such as the M270 and M142 HIMARS to provide more firepower at a longer range to hit Russian forces well behind the front line. The Pentagon said Washington would initially provide Ukraine with four HIMARS systems.
The new supplies come on top of billions of dollars worth of equipment such as drones and anti-aircraft missiles. The Biden administration plans to sell Ukraine four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones that can be armed with Hellfire missiles for battlefield use against Russia, three sources told Reuters. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the supplies would not encourage Ukraine's leadership to resume stalled peace talks.

Arsenal have been the subject of filming throughout the season for Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing series. The release date for the documentary is expected to be later this summer in August/September time.
However, despite filming being wrapped on Arsenal for this season, the club could accidentally find themselves part of a similar style inside look at the club next season depending on their transfer business.
Former Watford goalkeeper and YouTube footballing sensation Ben Foster has been one of a very small number of players in the game to turn his career in football into a viewable journey. His YouTube channel: Ben Foster – The Cycling GK has over a million subscribers and is watched by fans from all around the world.
READ MORE: Marseille cleared to complete William Saliba transfer from Arsenal but there's a catch
Speaking on his podcast called, rather appropriately, the 'Fozcast', he said that the idea of joining Arsenal would appeal to him. Admitting he would be willing to play behind a keeper like Aaron Ramsdale.
"Yeah, I think I would to be honest with you,” replied Foster. "If I’m signing for a club as a No.2 goalkeeper, depending on who the first-choice goalkeeper is, so say it was someone like Arsenal or even Aston Villa for example where you’ve got the first-choice goalie, I know is a world-class goalkeeper.
"So, someone like Ramsdale or Emi Martinez, I know I’ve got a world-class goalkeeper in front of me who’s still at an age where they’re learning and they can get better – because they can, they’ve got the potential.
"Don’t get me wrong, if it’s for someone like Rambo I’m still training my head off, because that’s what I’m like, I love training, I love putting the graft in.
"But it’s an interesting one, I think I would, I think I’m at an age where I could be a No.2, I really could. I had to deal with it last year and even at the start of this season I wasn’t playing to start with, and I’m very good at getting behind the goalie that’s playing and being a cheerleader and getting him ready for the game."
In reality, it is unlikely that Foster would come in as a No.2 for the club. With Matt Turner already signed up and coming in from New England Revolution, Foster would most likely be the third choice.
Although hypothetically, were Foster to make the cut and convince the Gunners to bring him in, it might create an unexpected twist. Specifically, from a broadcasting standpoint.
Part of Foster's channel has been documenting the life of a professional footballer. From training to travel to matchday experiences.
Were he to sign for Arsenal he would surely want to continue the work that has brought him a strong post-playing career. Arsenal’s social game has always been one of the strongest regarding behind-the-scenes looks.
The Arsenal YouTube channel itself is one of the best followed in the country. It has over 2.74 million subscribers and counting. It brings fans closer to the stars of the men’s and women’s teams with interviews, highlights and fun games pitting the players against one another.
Could the club’s experience with the Amazon cameras make them more open to the idea of filming in the future? Possibly so and Foster would not only bring plenty of goalkeeping experience for the younger stoppers at the club but a potential avenue to create a stir in the modern era of online football content creation. | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-ben-foster-amazon-transfers-24124758 | 2022-06-02T06:32:29Z | https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-ben-foster-amazon-transfers-24124758 | false | 1 |
Three days after two undertrial prisoners escaped from police custody in Gurgaon, the police said they have arrested them from Uttar Pradesh. According to police sources, the Crime Branch arrested the inmates on Wednesday night.
Preet Pal, ACP crime, said, “The two undertrials, who had escaped from the custody of escort guard, have been arrested and we are questioning them regarding the circumstances of the escape.”

At a traffic signal in Sector 56, the undertrials and the police officials had got off the vehicle and booked a cab to the hospital in Delhi.
A probe found that while returning, the inmates and police officials had stopped at a guest house in Sector 38 in Gurgaon. Two associates of the inmates had arrived on a scooter at the guest house and they managed to give the police a slip and escaped on the scooter.

After the complicity of the three policemen in facilitating their escape was established, the police had registered a First Information Report (FIR) under sections 222, 224, 225 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Sadar police station. The police had said that the policemen were lured to the guest house with the promise of food, drinks, and a party.
Head constable Nishu, head constable Anil Kumar, and constable Naveen, two associates of undertrials—Arvind and Ajay Jakhar—and the guest house owner Nitin Bhardwaj have been arrested.
