Britain’s once vast empire is immortalised in the famous patriotic anthem Rule, Britannia!, a repurposed 18th century poem harking back to a time when the island nation ruled a quarter of the world.
It is likely to be belted out with pride by Brits across the UK during the Platinum Jubilee weekend, but for empire-turned-Commonwealth realms in the Caribbean, the line “Britons never, never, shall be slaves” adds to growing scrutiny over the empire’s colonial legacy.
Nations seeking redress for the slave trade by way of reparations are also demanding an apology from the royal family for its links to slavery, and to ultimately sever ties with the monarch in a move towards republicanism.
In Australia, anti-monarchy campaigners believe “a republic will happen” with the newly elected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese who has long supported the movement.
The Queen has been head of the Commonwealth since her father George VI’s death in 1952, with Prince Charles expected to take over after her long reign ends.
Of the 54 Commonwealth countries, she is head of state for 15 of them including Grenada, Jamaica and Australia.
The Caribbean
There have been six Caribbean countries that have recently indicated they plan to remove the Queen as their head of state – Belize, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, and St. Kitts and Nevis, all countries that were once colonised by the British.
Arley Gill, chairman of the Grenada’s National Reparations Committee, said the royal family has lost its “relevance and significance” for Grenadian people.
When asked whether Charles ascending the throne will spark a republican movement in Grenada, Mr Gill repeated three times: “I think it would”.
Speaking from the capital St George’s, he told i: “I don’t think the Grenadian people are too enthused about Prince Charles.
“I don’t think the Prince will get a huge welcome when he ascends to the throne. I don’t think we are of that ilk.”
For several countries, such as Jamaica and Grenada, removing the monarch as head of state would first require a constitutional change, unlike Barbados, which became the region’s newest republic in November last year.
Barbados was able to remove the Queen as head of state and swear in its first president following a two-thirds majority vote in parliament, but in some other Caribbean nations a referendum would need to be held in order to bring about constitutional change.
It is something Mr Gill said the Grenadian population of about 110,000 are ready for.
Mr Gill, who works as a lawyer and is also Grenada’s ambassador to Caricom, the Caribbean community of 20 countries, said: “Speaking to ordinary people everyday, they have no reservations with removing the Queen as head of state. That’s the general mood.”
The problem, however, is discouragement on a political level to make that happen, borne from two previous referendums on constitutional reforms that failed to get the two-thirds majority vote by the public in order to pass, Mr Gill said.
He believes that the major political parties in Grenada are in favour of going republic – especially during an election year as it is now – but that there is no bipartisan unity.
Royal links to slave trade
Britain’s involvement in the slave trade spanned more than two centuries, with the first slaving expedition led by John Hawkins in 1562. His expedition proved so profitable that Elizabeth I provided him with money and ships for his subsequent journeys and gave him a unique coat of arms bearing a bound slave.
The connections between the royal family and slavery continued with Charles II, who granted a charter to the Royal African Company in 1663, of which his brother King James II was a member. It was the moment the transatlantic slave trade officially began, with royal approval, in the English – later British – Empire.
It is estimated that between 1663 and the end of the 17th century, Britain had enslaved and transported more than 332,000 Africans across the Atlantic where the majority were forced to work on plantations producing sugar, tobacco and other crops for European consumers.
The company held a monopoly on the trade until 1698 and did not cease dealing in slaves until 1731.
Kensington Palace and Hampton Palace are among properties with connections to King William III, who was a part owner of the company.
“Politics in the Caribbean can be fickle on those issues,” he said.
“Sometimes with a referendum like this – which has nothing to do with the prime minister or government of the day – if the opposition sees an opportunity to throw a cheap blow then you may very well find the government will be hesitant to go forward with the referendum.
“Once there is a bipartisan position to remove the Queen, I believe that would be successful.”
More than 1,000 miles across the Caribbean Sea, republican fervour has also spread in Jamaica.
It is a conversation the country has had since at least the 90s, when a constitutional commission submitted its report to parliament recommending that Jamaica should become a republic.
Officials have since made promises to that effect. More recently, Prime Minister Andrew Holness suggested to the Duke of Cambridge during a royal tour in Jamaica in March this year that his country was “moving on” and that its future is “as an independent, developed, prosperous country”.
Prince William acknowledged after the trip that the monarchy’s days in the Caribbean may be numbered as he stated the future “is for the people to decide upon”.
Rosalea Hamilton, a civil rights campaigner and founding director of the nonprofit Institute of Law and Economics in Kingston, said that while the Jamaican government has yet to make good on its promises, this time it “will be different” as the nation celebrates 60 years of independence in August.
“After 60 years there’s a view that it is time to put the past behind in terms of these institutional legacies,” she told i.
Dr Hamilton is among dozens of campaigners who form the Advocates Network, a human rights coalition of activists, that is urging the Jamaican government to draft and table a legislative bill to parliament this year to begin the process of removing the Queen as sovereign.
Dr Hamilton said there is an expectation for this to happen ahead of Jamaican Independence Day in August, which could mean a referendum as early as next year.
However, campaigners argue that years of apathy among voters and a general acceptance of the status quo means removing the British monarch as head of state would, in and of itself, not make a fundamental difference to people’s lives.
While it may act as an important, symbolic gesture to remove the last vestiges of colonialism, it would have to be part of wider reforms that shifts sovereignty to the people of Jamaica, where they can actively engage in shaping decisions that affect their lives.
Maziki Thame, a senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, told i that Jamaicans “are at an impasse”.
“These become academic issues that don’t matter to everyday people,” she added.
“People are invested in their everyday survival, people are preoccupied with issues of – outside of economic survival – high levels of violence.”
She said if an opportunity for celebration arises “people take it”, pointing to the controversial pictures of William and Kate shaking hands with crowds behind a wire mesh fence during their trip in Jamaica.
Australia
Republican figures in Australia believe when Prince Charles ascends the throne it will reignite support to end constitutional ties with the British monarchy.
“With the end of the Queen’s reign drawing closer, Australians are saying enough is enough – it’s time to move on,” said Sandy Biar, national director of the Australian Republican Movement (ARM).
A survey by ABC News this month found that a majority of Australians – 53 per cent – did not support Prince Charles becoming King of Australia.
ARM has even come up with a plan – called the choice model – to elect a new head of state after surveying thousands of people.
Professor Anne Twomey, a constitutional law expert at the University of Sydney, said a republican movement has existed in Australia as far back as the 1890s, and has been stronger than in other countries such as Canada and New Zealand.
Speaking at an event hosted by the School of Advanced Study last week, she said the difficulties Australia faced when it last held a republic referendum in 1993 are the same as they are now, namely the question of who would replace the monarch as head of state.
There was the added issue of voters not knowing or being unsure of how government works, with the mantra “Don’t know? – Vote ‘No’” by opposers of the 1999 referendum proving “extremely successful”, Professor Twomey said. In the end, 55 per cent of voters decided to stick with the status quo.
There is also a debate to prioritise the recognition of Australia’s indigenous population in the constitution, which currently makes no reference to original inhabitants whose leaders suffered injustices for generations after European colonisation in the 1700s.
“The principal appetite for constitutional change is for First Nations Australians to have their rights embedded in the constitution, and that that should take precedence over becoming a republic,” Dr Sue Onslow, deputy director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London, told i.
It is also something the Republic movement recognised when it welcomed Mr Albanese as Australia’s Prime Minister earlier this month. “Won’t be a referendum just yet as they’re rightly committed to first recognising Aboriginal people as the original Australians in the constitution. But a republic will happen,” the group tweeted.
What next?
Barbados’ Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who was re-elected with a landslide victory in January, was able to cut ties with the monarchy because she had the political and constitutional space to do so.
But questions remain of what happens next in terms of choosing President Sandra Mason’s successor.
How and who to choose as the president of a republic can be problematic. Dr Onslow said people may well be wary when former politicians take on the ceremonial presidential role: will they stick to their constitutional duties or “will there be meddling?”
Dr Onslow said the debate was tied up with the lack of trust in government institutions; elsewhere in the Caribbean, there have also been concerns around political malaise and lack of faith in institutions, and consequent worries of a low turnout should a referendum take place.
The necessary constitutional changes to become republics promised to be a lengthy and complicated process with multiple factors at play, Dr Onslow said, but she added that republicanism is an issue that “will certainly not go away”. | https://inews.co.uk/news/world/platinum-jubilee-commonwealth-realms-ready-to-cut-ties-with-colonial-past-after-queens-reign-ends-1658146 | 2022-06-02T06:51:40Z | https://inews.co.uk/news/world/platinum-jubilee-commonwealth-realms-ready-to-cut-ties-with-colonial-past-after-queens-reign-ends-1658146 | false | 1 |
Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL) on Wednesday said lenders to Religare Finvest Limited (RFL) have agreed to consider a One-Time Settlement (OTS) offer proposed by its debt-ridden subsidiary.
Religare has resolved many legacy issues left over by its erstwhile promoters, including settlement with SEBI and becoming debt free, the non-banking financial company (NBFC) said in a statement.
RFL has received a communication dated May 31, 2022 from its lead lender informing that in a meeting held on May 20, 2022, lenders have in principle agreed to consider the OTS proposal of RFL and to put up the same to their respective authorities, REL said.
RFL, which has been a victim of siphoning off of funds by its erstwhile promoters, has initiated legal actions for recovery and begun its path towards revival, it added.
The company has been in financial distress, primarily due to alleged misappropriation of funds by erstwhile promoters Shivinder Singh and his brother Malvinder Singh. Post RFL's OTS completion, it will have healthy prudential ratios, well above those prescribed by RBI, it added.
REL Chairman Rashmi Saluja said with the completion of OTS, all the legacy issues will be put behind and the Religare group will stride forward to focus on future growth and becoming a 360-degree financial services provider.
RFL has been barred from undertaking fresh business as it is under the corrective action plan (CAP) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) since January 2018 due to its weak financial health. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/lenders-to-consider-loan-settlement-proposal-of-religare-enterprises-religare-8624761.html/amp | 2022-06-02T06:52:45Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/lenders-to-consider-loan-settlement-proposal-of-religare-enterprises-religare-8624761.html/amp | true | 3 |

The six-week courtroom showdown involving actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard came to an end on June 1 with the jury awarding the former $15 million in damages.
Johnny Depp had sued Amber Heard, his ex-wife, for $50 million for allegedly defaming him with an opinion piece, in which he described herself as a celebrity representing domestic abuse but did not name him.
Heard countersued Depp for $100 million after his lawyer dismissed her abuse claims as hoax. In the defamation trial, only one of her three counterclaims was held up. She was awarded $2 million.
While Depp celebrated the verdict, Heard said she was left heartbroken.
Most celebrities also showed support for Depp after the verdict. "Plant your flag for Johnny Depp," the actor's Pirates of the Caribbean co-star Greg Ellis tweeted.
PLANT YOUR FLAG FOR JOHNNY DEPP
— Greg Ellis (@ellisgreg) June 1, 2022
Talk show host Sharon Osbourne told British TV personality Piers Morgan: “Wow, it wasn’t what I was expecting. I mean, I wanted Johnny to win but I didn’t expect him to.”
Comedian Morgana Robinson said: "We love you, Edward scissor hands". Her comment was a reference to the 1990 film starring Depp.
Pretty Little Liars stars Ashley Benson shared a photo of Depp on her Instagram account and celebrated the verdict.Actor Eva Green said: "I have no doubt Johnny will emerge with his good name and wonderful heart revealed to the world, and life will be better than it ever was for him and his family."
Meanwhile, comedian Amy Schumer shared a quote of American journalist and feminist activist Gloria Steinem.
“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke … She will need her sisterhood," she wrote. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/johnny-depp-amber-heard-defamation-trial-reactions-to-the-verdict-8625981.html | 2022-06-02T06:59:20Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/johnny-depp-amber-heard-defamation-trial-reactions-to-the-verdict-8625981.html | false | 2 |

A Newark City Councilman is proposing raising fines after a recent series of damage to various city parks.
Councilman John Suchanec said he recently received a note from the city's Parks and Recreation Department and feels it's time to take action.
"The message was basically the increase vandalism is really costing the city thousands of dollars in repairs, and not only that, it's diverting employee time away from their routine duties."
According to City Manager Tom Coleman, some of that damage over the past few weeks includes 12 trees on Main Street, the Marrows Road bridge receiving graffiti 5 times, damage to the Handloff Skate Park, the removal of the new Kells Park sign 48 hours after it was installed, and stone wall, light pole, and playground damage at the new Hillside Park.
Suchanec's proposal would be to double the city's criminal mischief fine of $75, plus add in community service connected to the restitution of the damage.
It's an idea supposed by most members of the council, including Councilwoman Corinth Ford.
"My opinion is if they are caught, people who write graffiti on the wall should have to clean it up."
Councilman Jason Lawhorn said the emphasis should be more on the community service, although upping the fines to make up for the damage amounts would be fair.
"I don't think it's going to change behavior. We live in a college town, and college kids are going to create messes, and that's never going to change. But if we can take those who are the worst offenders we can catch and have them clean up the mess, I think that's a great idea."
Councilman Travis McDermott said he'd like to see more data on how many people the city is actually able to track down.
"I agree with increasing the fines for criminal mischief and vandalism in our parks, but it's really going to equate to how many people are we really arresting to see if it will have an effect or not. If we're not arresting anybody for those acts, you can make the fines $1 million and it won't matter."
To that point, Mayor Stu Markham said the city should consider upgrading the security camera system in its parks, especially if they come up short during damage investigations.
"I support the vandalism increases and fines for that, but if our cameras aren't providing us with a good enough picture, I think we should look at better cameras, because they need to be a deterrent, and they need to be useable, and if they're not, they're not worth a lot."
In addition to the $75 criminal mischief fee fine, Newark's current fines for graffiti range from $500-1000. Coleman estimated it cost the city about $250 each time they've had to repaint the Marrows Road Bridge recently, and the Kells Park sign will cost upwards of $2,000 to replace.
Coleman is expected to report back to City Council with proposed changes to the fine structure at a future meeting. | https://www.wdel.com/news/newark-looking-to-raise-vandalism-fines-following-recent-park-damage/article_6ea3f718-e217-11ec-b793-7b2011c4b7e9.html | 2022-06-02T07:00:51Z | https://www.wdel.com/news/newark-looking-to-raise-vandalism-fines-following-recent-park-damage/article_6ea3f718-e217-11ec-b793-7b2011c4b7e9.html | true | 1 |

Introducing IonQ Forte
Today, the IonQ team is proud to unveil our next generation quantum computer – IonQ Forte. This latest generation quantum computer (Figure 1) represents a leap forward in flexibility, precision and performance. IonQ Forte uses ytterbium ions, and integrates highly specialized acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) to direct laser beams at individual qubits in the ion chain to apply logic gates among the qubits. This approach provides unprecedented precision and stability to the laser beams contributing to both higher fidelity and reliability by minimizing noise and unintended residual light on neighboring qubits.
Compared to our previous systems, IonQ Forte decouples the qubit arrangement in space from a fixed optical addressing system, leading to higher performance, the support of more qubits, and more software-driven flexibility. In fact, our goal is to deliver quantum computers whose architecture is fully controlled through software, from the number of qubits to the entangling gates, connectivity between qubits, error correction and ultimately the entire system performance as measured by the Algorithmic Qubit (#AQ) metric.
IonQ Forte, designed with a capacity of up to 32 qubits like IonQ Aria and further expandable in software, represents a major step in that direction. Once fully characterized (tested and measured), we expect that it will demonstrate superior #AQ results and allow customers to run deeper quantum circuits than ever before. We anticipate that IonQ Forte will be made broadly available in early 2023, with earlier access expected to be provided to select developers, partners, and researchers in 2022 to work alongside IonQ’s scientists in evaluating the full potential of this powerful quantum system.
In this blog post, we will bring you into our development process for IonQ Forte, share our thinking, early results and plans for the future.
Software-Configurable Quantum Computer
Atomic ions, meaning individual atoms with one missing electron, are an excellent resource for storing quantum bits. Using highly tuned electromagnetic fields, dozens of ions can be trapped in a long linear chain (a single core) ready for further manipulation. With the aid of precision lasers, these trapped ions can then be entangled using high quality two-qubit quantum gates between any pair of qubits in the chain. This approach is the core technology behind IonQ’s quantum computers. We believe that the all-to-all connectivity within a core, enabled by the long-range Coulomb interaction (the force between two stationary, electrically charged particles) is a significant and unique advantage of IonQ’s processor architecture. It enables highly efficient realizations of quantum algorithms with arbitrary internal structure.
One fascinating feature of this system is that crucial performance characteristics of the quantum computer, such as “how many qubits does your computer have?” or “which qubit is connected to which other qubits?”, are not frozen into the design of the system. Unlike a computer chip where the transistors and wires are set permanently onto the chip at the time of manufacturing, we can load different numbers of qubits into our system and “wire them up” by designing laser control signals to enable entangling gates among them. In a way, the key features of the quantum computer can be configured through software, after the system is fully manufactured.
The introduction of AODs in IonQ Forte is a major step forward in our long-standing vision of a “Software-Configurable Quantum Computer”architecture (referred to as “Software-Defined Quantum Computer” in IonQ’s recently issued patent1). IonQ’s system evolution has consistently pursued this trend, and the transition from fixed beam multi-channel acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) to flexible AODs eliminates the precise alignment of our trapped ion qubits to fixed laser beams in space. This can now be done in software. Moreover, the system’s maximum capacity no longer depends on the number of beam channels in the hardware, as is the case in IonQ Aria, which is capped at 32 channels.
AOD Technology
AODs are common in beam-scanning applications, where the deflection angle of a beam is controlled by a radio frequency (RF) signal applied through software. The novel use of these devices in ion traps for quantum computers has several key advantages compared to the multi-channel AOMs used in our previous systems. 2 Using this technique, IonQ Forte’s laser control system can address over 40 individual ion qubits within the chain. It also uses the laser power more efficiently, since it is not “wasting” laser power to provide inputs to channels that are not being used to run gates. The biggest advantage of AODs, however, is the ability to precisely and individually adjust the laser beam position for each ion within the chain, thereby overcoming small variations in ion distances that naturally occur in a long chain of trapped ions. This customized alignment of the addressing beams is the most significant technological advancement in this new generation and the most impactful contributor to IonQ Forte’s step function improvement in performance.

So, Meet IonQ Forte, in its First Configuration!
IonQ Forte is initially equipped with 32 detection channels, which makes simultaneous readout of 32 qubits straightforward. We started operating IonQ Forte with a 35-ion chain configuration, of which we operate on 31 of them as qubits (it turns out that having a single ion in the center of the chain makes optical alignment easier in the early development stages of a new system). This configuration results in a high-performance 31 qubit quantum computer with all-to-all connectivity (Figure 3), providing a versatile system designed to execute some of the most complex quantum algorithms to be run on a physical quantum computer yet.

The central 31 qubits are imaged onto 31 individual detection channels for fast quantum state measurement. For scale, the separation between ions in this chain is roughly 3μm (roughly 100μm from side to side).
Sneak Peak at Early Performance of IonQ Forte
As often iterated in this blog in the past, not all qubits in quantum computing are the same. For the last two years, IonQ has been refining and advocating for an objective benchmark for quantum computing performance called Algorithmic Qubits(#AQ) . Higher #AQ means users can run more complex quantum computing jobs, and arises from higher fidelity gate operations and better quantum processor architecture. Here, we share our early device-level performance characteristics of IonQ Forte that will impact #AQ.
Using the AOD technology, we have achieved excellent addressing specificity of the target qubit compared to other qubits in the chain. When experiencing imperfections in addressing ions with laser beams, the resulting artifacts can be characterized as “crosstalk,” where the laser beam targeting one of the qubits might accidentally affect its neighboring qubits. AOD fine-tuning and customization can greatly alleviate this artifact and produce far more stable and accurate gates. We measured the maximum residual action on any other (neighboring) qubit to be below 1.1% of the action on the target qubit. With the risk of getting even more technical, the impact of the spillover is further reduced by realizing gates using compensated pulse sequences that suppress the residual action on any of the neighboring qubits.
We characterized single qubit gates across all 31 qubits using randomized benchmarking and obtained an average single qubit gate infidelity of 0.04% or 4‱ — ‱ denotes parts per ten thousand, or 0.01%. State preparation and measurement error for each qubit is below 0.6%.
In a fully connected register of 31 qubits, there are 465 unique qubit pairs between which entangling gates can be performed. We characterized all 465 possible two-qubit gates using a straightforward method that examines the gate performance statistics in aggregate. In this method, we used each two-qubit gate pair to generate a “maximally entangled state” between the two target qubits, and measured the fidelity of the resulting state. When the two-qubit gate is repeated four times (back-to-back), the qubits are returned to the initial state. Therefore, by concatenating (4n+1) two-qubit gates, we can re-create the same maximally entangled state again. By measuring the fidelity of the resulting maximally entangled state as a function of the number of concatenated entangling gates, we can measure the incremental error contributed by each gate. 3 We measured the fidelity of the maximally entangled state generated by concatenating up to 21 entangling gates (depth of 21), for all 465 possible pairs of qubits. With this technique, we got an average infidelity of the resulting entangled state of 36±27‱ , contributed by each entangling gate (corresponding to about 99.6% fidelity contribution). Figure 4 shows the distribution of average infidelity contributed to the final entangled state by each gate, measured over all 465 possible qubit pairs in the system. We note that the infidelity contribution is quite uniform across the qubit pairs.
Fig. 4: Histogram of the average infidelity—measured in parts per ten thousand—of the resulting entangled state contributed by each gate for all 465 pairs of qubits in the 31-qubit configuration of IonQ Forte. Due to the logarithmic scale of the x-axis, the confidence interval of the measured entangled state fidelity is much wider for small errors as expected.
Understanding the Error Characteristics
Now that we have assessed the overall quality and uniformity of our two-qubit gates, we can try to understand and improve them in greater depth. For the careful characterization of individual single and two-qubit gates, we used Gate Set Tomography (GST). 4 GST is a statistically rigorous qubit performance evaluation method developed by the Quantum Performance Laboratory at Sandia National Laboratories. Through GST, we gain detailed debugging information about the individual quantum operations of our system, at the expense of a larger number of required circuits.
We executed 2-qubit GST sequences up to a depth of 32 gates for two particular ions (10 and 21) to explore the single and two-qubit gates in depth. According to the GST analysis, IonQ Forte achieved an initial average gate infidelity of single qubit gates between 3‱ and 7‱ corresponding to single qubit gate fidelities between 99.97% and 99.93%. The initial average gate infidelity for the entangling two-qubit gate was measured at 57‱ (corresponding to 99.43% fidelity).
In addition to gate performance metrics, GST also provides an assessment of the dominant error contributions. For all gates, GST indicates that the errors in IonQ Forte are dominated by coherent errors (arising from imprecisions in the control pulses, such as the fluctuations in laser power used to drive the gates and miscalibration of light shifts) and not incoherent errors (due to fundamental physical limitations such as photon scattering, which tends to completely destroy the qubit). Figure 5 shows the data, for those interested in the technical details of this analysis. Note that the average gate fidelity as measured with GST (99.43%) is lower than the fidelity contribution per gate to the final entangled state (99.76%) for this qubit pair. This is not surprising, as certain coherent errors in the gate can cancel out as more gates are concatenated, leading to increased fidelity of the final entangled state.
The coherent errors we observe in the system can be reduced by improving calibration, stability of control laser beams, or applying advanced quantum control techniques. Guided by the GST analysis results, we expect to eliminate most of these errors in the upcoming performance improvement phase of system verification, thereby raising the gate fidelities further. We expect these improvements will lead to higher #AQ performance for IonQ Forte, exceeding even our best commercial system, IonQ Aria.
Fig. 5: For those who wish to dive deeper—Gate Error Generator of the entangling XX gate (left). The error generator L for a noisy gate G with ideal target G0 is defined by writing G=eLG0under the assumption that the gate error can be expressed by a post-gate error generated by a Lindbladian superoperator L. The error generator for our system has few dominating contributions, and a projection of this generator on the 4×4 dimensional Hamiltonian space can account for 97% of the generator.
The Hamiltonian projection is shown on the right where the amplitude of the different contributions is given in matrix form (where, for example, 4m5 denotes 4 × 10-5). It can then be used to identify the leading deviations from the ideal gate. Here, we see a YX and XY component pointing to an error between the relative phases of the beams addressing the two ions, as well as an IZ contribution which could originate from an error in the qubit frequency or the calibration of the light shift on the second qubit. The raw data upon which the GST analysis is based as well as the full GST report are available at this repository.
IonQ Forte System Performance
IonQ Forte’s computational power will be measured by Algorithmic Qubits(#AQ) , based on executing quantum algorithms of practical interest – useful algorithms with real-world applications. Next, the team will take IonQ Forte through its paces, measuring every single algorithm in the #AQ benchmarking suite towards our 2022 technology roadmap goal of #AQ 25. The errors in our gates are dominated by coherent noise and can be reduced by improved calibrations and better stabilized control pulses. In addition, the impact of coherent errors can be managed at the circuit execution level by novel error mitigation techniques which will allow us to achieve higher #AQ than what one naively estimates from individual gate fidelities. The error mitigation techniques adopted in IonQ Ariashow that this indeed is the case. Furthermore, we believe the integration of our next generation control system (referred to as the Quantum Control System or QCS) will be a critical step in reaching these goals. So far, we performed limited #AQ tests and confirmed that indeed IonQ Forte is outperforming any of IonQ’s previous quantum systems with the same number of tested qubits.

Nyck De Vries. Picture: Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team Twitter
Formula E champion Nyck de Vries has additional motivation to chalk up back-to-back race wins this weekend.
De Vries, the title winner in 2019 Formula 2 and 2020/21 Formula E, is looking forward to the inaugural Jakarta E-Prix given his Indonesian heritage.
“I think that everyone is always on the lookout for new challenges and with Jakarta being a new race on the calendar, that brings a lot of challenges with it,” said the Dutch-born 27-year-old.
“Personally, I’m very much looking forward to returning to the Asian continent.
“Since the pandemic hit, we haven’t been back yet, so it’s great to be returning this weekend.
“What makes it extra special is that I’ve got roots in Indonesia – it will be an exciting and special race weekend!”
While De Vries enters Jakarta as the most recent winner in Formula E following his success in the second leg of the Berlin double-header, Mercedes team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne heads the standings by 12 points from Edoardo Mortara.
“New city, new circuit. Jakarta is a bit of an unknown quantity for everyone, but I like discovering new tracks,” said Vandoorne.
“It’s always exciting. I like the challenge when you don’t know exactly what to expect.
“I also think that we are strong as a team in such situations. We’re well prepared, know what’s possible and now have to use that to our advantage.
“We had a good race last time out and the goal is of course to continue in the same vein without raising expectations too much.
“I have every confidence in the car and our races have been good generally speaking; so that’s the aim again this weekend, to have a good race.”
Mercedes will exit Formula E at the end of the season, with McLaren to take over the team for season 2022/23 as the Gen3 era begins. | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/06/02/maiden-jakarta-e-prix-extra-special-for-de-vries/ | 2022-06-02T07:21:59Z | https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/06/02/maiden-jakarta-e-prix-extra-special-for-de-vries/ | true | 1 |

A Bristol-based entrepreneur who founded a tech company to help businesses comply with gender pay gap regulations has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Jubilee Birthday Honours list.
Dr Zara Nanu established Gapsquare in 2016 after hearing the World Economic Forum’s prediction that it would take 217 years before the gender pay gap would close. The company, which was acquired by London-based online HR resource firm XpertHR in 2021, uses artificial intelligence and data analysis to help companies comply with gender pay gap regulations.
She was awarded the accolade for services to tackling global workplace inequalities and promoting fairness and inclusion.
According to Dr Nanu, her passion for diversity and inclusion began in Moldova, where she was born. It was here she worked to bring an end to exploitative people trafficking rings which forced women into sweatshops.
She said: "From my work in Moldova, to using technology to tackle inequality with Gapsquare, I have been focused on creating a better world of work, one that has fairness at its core and is not held back by patriarchal structures.
"It is an honour to have this work recognised and I am incredibly grateful for the nomination."
Dr Nanu said it was "heartening" to see her work, and the values it represents, "placed firmly" on the national agenda - but warned the gender pay gap had worsened over the pandemic.
"Our work is by no means complete; the impact of the pandemic means that the time it will take to close the global gender gap has increased by a generation from 99.5 years to 135.6 years," she said.
The entrepreneur is now working to establish Gapsquare to the US as well as expanding the business in the UK. Gapsquare has already helped more than 80 organisations in Britain and counts Wieden + Kennedy, Condé Nast and Accenture among its customers.
Dr Nanu is also involved in several other organisations; she is chair of Bristol's Women in Business Task Group, which explores issues for women in the workplace and aims to address them, and is a member of the Global Future Council on Equity and Social Justice at the World Economic Forum. She was also recently appointed to the Shinkwin Commission, focusing on diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
She added: “In a time where we can send people to Mars and talk about self-driving cars, we should be using the data and technological advancements available to us to make gender pay parity a key business issue.
"While fixing pay inequality is no silver bullet, it is a vital step that many organisations can take towards building a better future. I hope with this MBE, the growing global work of Gapsquare, and the positive changes many businesses have already taken, I can be part of the action that gets us to that future, sooner than later.”

BY DAVE HOGGThe Associated Press
DETROIT — Tarik Skubal allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings in Detroit Tigers’ 5-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
Jonathan Schoop, who is hitting .438 with a home run and six RBIs in the five-game series against his former team, drove in two of Detroit’s runs.
The Tigers have won three of four in the series that concludes Thursday, including back-to-back shutouts, and six of their last eight games overall. In all, six of Detroit’s 20 wins this season have been shutouts.
Skubal (4-2) walked one and struck out six to improve to 3-0 with a 1.22 ERA in his last six starts.
Minnesota’s Bailey Ober (1-2) allowed five runs on nine hits in six innings. The Twins haven’t scored in 20 innings.
Schoop drove in all four runs in Detroit’s win in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader. On Wednesday, he had an RBI single in the first inning.
Jeimer Candelario led off the fifth with a triple and scored on Tucker Barnhart’s single off second baseman Jorge Polanco’s glove. Harold Castro made it 4-0 with a two-out double later in the inning, and Schoop followed with a ground-rule double to make it a five-run lead.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Tigers: Rookie starter Joey Wentz was undergoing tests after leaving Tuesday’s second game with a shoulder strain. Because Wentz was the 27th player for the doubleheader, any injury would result in him being placed on the minor-league injured list.
Twins: RHP Sonny Gray played long-toss catch for the second straight day, and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said he is improving. The team has still not made a final decision about placing him on the injured list.
UP NEXT
The teams finish the five-game series Thursday afternoon, with Detroit’s Alex Faedo (1-2, 3.00) facing Minnesota’s Chris Archer (0-2, 4.19). | https://www.themorningsun.com/2022/06/01/tigers-face-the-twins-leading-series-2-1/ | 2022-06-02T07:27:01Z | https://www.themorningsun.com/2022/06/01/tigers-face-the-twins-leading-series-2-1/ | false | 11 |

SAN FRANCISCO: Microblogging site Twitter's social media dashboard application for management, TweetDeck, will no longer be available as a standalone Mac app from July 1.
When launching the TweetDeck for the Mac app, Twitter has started placing a blue banner at the top warning users that it will only be available for one more month, reports 9To5Google.
"We are saying goodbye to TweetDeck for the Mac app to focus on making TweetDeck even better and testing our new Preview," a tweet from the TweetDeck team reads.
"July 1 is the last day it will be available," it added.
As per the report, TweetDeck for Mac just got an overhaul last year that brought it in line with the web version.
At the time, the company admitted the app had not been getting "a lot of love" and that it was an example of "a Twitter-owned and operated service that we will continue investing in," it added.
Another strange part of the abrupt cancellation of the TweetDeck Mac app is that it should not require any maintenance effort for Twitter since it is a website wrapper implementation.
Last year, the microblogging site announced a new and improved version of TweetDeck. At that time, it was testing the new features with a small group of users in the US, Canada and Australia.

Wild Video: While Reporting on Violent Chicago Crime, Reporter, Cameraman Become Victims Themselves
Chicago television reporter Joanie Lum went to work last week thinking it would be like any other day.
Lum was filming a live news segment on the rise of gun violence in Chicago for WFLD-TV, the local Fox station she works for, when the unthinkable happened.
Much to the news crew’s shock, a man walked by pointing an apparent gun at them.
Chicago police have issued a community alert, asking for the public’s help in finding the man.
According to WFLD, police say the man is accused of aggravated assault with a firearm. No one was injured during the incident.
The city of Chicago is well-known for its crime, specifically gun violence, despite the city’s strict gun control laws.
In recent weeks, a wave of gun violence has plagued the Windy City, including a fatal shooting of a teenager May 16 at the city’s famed Millennium Park, one of the Midwest’s biggest tourist sites.
A 17-year-old boy is believed to have shot Seandell Holliday, 16, and has been charged with second-degree murder, according to WFLD.
In light of the incident, Chicago’s liberal Mayor Lori Lightfoot imposed a 6 p.m. weekend curfew at Millennium Park. After 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Weekends are particularly dangerous in Chicago, but the Memorial Day weekend was the bloodiest in five years, with 51 people shot, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Of those shot between Friday and Tuesday, nine were killed, according to WMAQ-TV.
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country and yet every weekend Chicago records more victims of violent crime.
In fact, 2021 was one of the most violent years on record in Chicago, with a rise in shootings that left more people dead than any single year since 1996, according to WMAQ, citing statistics released by the Chicago Police Department.
According to the statistics, 3,561 shooting incidents and 797 homicides were reported in 2021, substantially more than what occurred in New York City or Los Angeles, the station reported.
More children were shot in Chicago between the beginning of January 2021 and the end of January 2022 — at least 276, according to WBBM-TV — than have been killed in mass school shootings since 1999.
While the Democratic Party is quick to comment on mass shootings with calls for more gun control, they often remain silent on the gun violence problem in Chicago.
Many Republicans point to Chicago as an example of how gun control policies fail.
One TV crew might agree.

Foods for human consumption with high content of sugar, saturated fats and trans fats must include new labeling.
The Ministry of People's Power for Health (MPPS) issued Resolution N°137 which regulates the labeling of manufactured foods high in sugar, saturated fats and trans fats. This resolution establishes the guidelines that will complement the labeling of manufactured foods for human consumption, through the inclusion of a front labeling of the containers, in order to provide the final consumer with additional information about the content of sugar, saturated fats and trans fats in these products, in order to comply with the obligation of the State to protect the health of its population, and promote healthy conditions and lifestyles.
This resolution only applies to those foods manufactured for human consumption - packaged or packaged - that are offered in the market and that, during their elaboration process, sugar and saturated fats have been incorporated: sugar and saturated fats when in each serving the amount of kilocalories coming from each one is equal or greater than ten percent (10%) of the total kilocalories; trans fats when in each serving the amount of kilocalories coming from these is equal or greater than one percent (1%) of the total kilocalories; and/or foods containing any of these nutrients, provided that they are marketed within the national territory and present in their final composition (solid or liquid) the amounts mentioned below:
Likewise, they must place on the front part of the label or label of the containers, a figure in the shape of an octagon of black color and white border, with a text inside that reads: "HIGH IN", followed by "SUGAR", "SATURATED FATS" or "TRANS FATS", according to the specific case, including in the lower part of the octagon: "MINISTRY OF THE POPULAR POWER FOR HEALTH", as shown below:
This new information system located on the main display face must show in a truthful, direct, clear and simple manner when a manufactured food, offered to the final consumer, presents a high content of nutrients of public health concern.
If manufactured foods with sugar, saturated fat and/or trans fat content equal or higher than the established in the nutrient table, manufactured before the publication in the Official Gazette of this Resolution and during the first thirty-six (36) months after its publication, may be marketed until the expiration date thereof, using the labeling they had at the time of their distribution and commercialization.
For further information, please visit here the questions and answers document on this resolution.

New Steelers WR Miles Boykin Shares Why He Used to Hate Franchise
The former Ravens receiver had a pretty good reason to root against Pittsburgh.
View the original article to see embedded media.
Wide receiver Miles Boykin is switching sides in one of the NFL’s premier rivalries, going to the Steelers after playing for the Ravens since 2019.
In the 2019 draft, Pittsburgh chose to draft wide receiver Diontae Johnson over Boykin in the third round, allowing Boykin to fall to Baltimore. The wide receiver believed that the Steelers were considering him for that pick, making it easier for him to dislike the team when the Ravens took him.
“It was crazy because I thought the Steelers were going to draft me originally,” Boykin said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko . “But when I got to Baltimore, it was like, ‘No, I hate Pittsburgh.’”
In Boykin’s three seasons with Baltimore, he totaled just 470 yards and seven touchdowns in 40 games. Baltimore waived him in the offseason, paving the way for the Steelers to claim him.
Despite just catching one pass for six yards last year, Boykin still believes he can contribute after a difficult 2021 season.
“Crazy injuries,” Boykin said. “Had a hamstring I pretty much dealt with the whole season, a finger injury I dealt with the whole season, but now I’m healthy and I’m ready to go.”
The Steelers’ first game vs. Baltimore isn’t until December, so Boykin will have to wait a while to potentially get revenge on his former team. However, he is going to have play his way onto a deep wide receiver depth chart first.

Cabinet okays relaxation in educational qualification for recruitment of Chhattisgarh tribals as CRPF constables
New Delhi, June 1, 2022
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs to relax the requisite minimum educational qualification from 10th class pass to 8th class for the recruitment of 400 tribal candidates as Constable (General Duty) in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) from three districts of South Chattisgarh -- Bijapur, Dantewada and Sukma.
Apart from issuing advertisement in local newspapers and adopting all means for wider publicity of the recruitment rally in the interior areas of these three districts, CRPF would subsequently impart formal education during the probation period to these newly recruited trainees, an official press release said.
The release said the decision would help 400 tribal youths from interior areas of the three districts get employment opportunities. Appropriate relaxation in physical standards for recruitment will also be given by the Ministry of Home Affairs, it said.
CRPF is one of Central Armed Police Forces, basically meant for duties like maintenance of law and order, tackling counter insurgency and maintaining internal security.
The release said the 400 youth recruited through this process would be confirmed in service only after acquiring the prescribed minimum educational qualification of standard 10th pass.
CRPF would extend all possible support like providing study material, books and coaching assistance during their probation period, it said.
The probation period may be extended suitably, if required, to facilitate new recruits to acquire the prescribed education qualification. In order to facilitate them to take the 10th standard exam, these recruits will be registered with National Institute of Open Schools recognized by Central/State Governments.
During 2016-17, CRPF had raised one Bastariya Battalion by recruiting Scheduled Tribe candidates from four districts -- Bijapur, Dantewada, Narayanpur and Sukma -- of Chhattisgarh. However, it could not yield optimum results as native youths from the interior areas could not compete in the recruitment process due to non- fulfillment of requisite educational qualification of Class 10 pass.

In an Advice Memorandum released on May 25, 2022, NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo laid out a blueprint for changes she'd like made to Board precedent concerning union representatives' access to employer property. At issue is a pair of 2019 rulings by the NLRB in UPMC, 368 NLRB No. 2 (2019) and Kroger Ltd. P'ship, 368 NLRB No. 64 (2019), which together provided employers with greater latitude to bar union representatives from accessing public spaces within the employer's facilities and grounds.
While an Advice Memorandum does not constitute a change in the law, it certainly gives a clear indication of how the current General Counsel will advise the Regions in deciding whether and how to prosecute future cases. This most recent GC memo makes good on initiatives she articulated last year (previously discussed here). The issue of union access to employer facilities was specifically foreshadowed as a topic for reassessment in the General Counsel's "Mandatory Submissions to Advice GC Memorandum 21-04," released on August 12, 2021.
Background - LT Transportation, Case 05-CA-281089
This Advice Memorandum is the result of an issue raised in a recent case before the Board, LAZ Parking Mid Atlantic, LLC, d/b/a LT Transporation, Case 05-CA-281089.
There, the conduct at issue was that the company wrote a letter to the union that was trying to organize the company's drivers, prohibiting the union's representatives from going to stops along the shuttle bus routes to talk to the drivers. The union argued that barring non-employee union agents from boarding the employer's publicly-used shuttles violated Sections 8(a)(1) and (3) of the NLRA.
The union ultimately withdrew the charges after winning the election to represent the company's shuttle bus drivers. However, the closing of the case allowed GC Abruzzo to issue the Advice Memorandum and opine on the legality of the prohibition of the union's access to public facilities.
The History of Non-Employee Union Access Cases Pre-2019
In 1956, the Supreme Court issued NLRB v. Babcock & Wilcox Co., 351 U.S. 105 (1956), which held that employers could exclude non-employee union representatives from an employer's property unless one of two conditions are present:
- Employees are otherwise inaccessible to the union; or
- The employer has discriminated against the union by prohibiting it from using the employer's facilities, but provides access to non-union groups.
After Babcock, the Board was faced with a number of fact-specific scenarios confronting the discrimination questions, including situations involving "public spaces" - i.e., spaces either contained within, or adjacent to yet part of, an employer's private property, but which were open to the public. The Board addressed whether an employer, by virtue of allowing the public to utilize a particular portion of its otherwise private property effectively discriminates when it excludes the union access to said property for purposes of engaging in otherwise protected, concerted activity.
Since Babcock, the Board held on numerous occasions that unions could access such public spaces, as long as organizers used them consistently with the public property's intended use and were not disruptive to the employer. Cases over the years involved public sidewalks adjacent to a store, public restaurants located in a portion of the employer's department store, public cafeterias, and casinos' bars and restaurants.
The Board's 2019 Decisions in UPMC and Kroger
In UPMC, 368 NLRB No. 2 (2019), the Board held that the "public spaces" exception referenced above was inconsistent with Babcock. In overruling the prior cases that outlined a "public spaces" exception, the Board announced that employers could eject union organizers or representatives from such "public spaces," unless one of the two exceptions from Babcock were demonstrated: a showing of inaccessibility or discrimination based on the use by non-union groups.
The Board also took the opportunity to further define discrimination under the Babcock standard. The Board stated that discrimination in union access cases exists where "by rule or practice a property owner permits similar activity in similar relevant circumstances." The focus, according to the Board, should be on the conduct of the non-employee organizers, rather than their identities.
In Kroger Ltd. P'ship, 368 NLRB No. 64 (2019), the Board found discrimination against non-employee organizers only where it can be found that other non-employees engage in "similar activity in similar relevant circumstances." According to the Board, this standard encompasses both the literal activity engaged in, but also the purpose of the activity, which could result in an employer lawfully banning union organizers from distributing union literation, while allowing non-employee access for other charitable, civic and commercial activities.
General Counsel Abruzzo's May 25th Advice Memo
General Counsel Abruzzo's Advice Memorandum makes three principal points:
- The Employer's conduct in LT Transportation violated the NLRA, even based on the current standard. According to GC Abruzzo, the Employer's prohibition was unlawful because it focused not on the union organizers' conduct, but on their identity, as she believed the organizers did not engage in any activity - e., discussing working conditions with the drivers - in which the general public did not engage.
- UPMC was incorrectly decided and should be overruled. According to GC Abruzzo, UPMC is inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent from Babcock and its progeny, which the Board was not privileged to alter. The Board, in UPMC, incorrectly likened the union organizers' activities to sales people surreptitiously entering the employer's property, which according to GC Abruzzo, "disregards Section 1 and Section 7 of the Act."
- Kroger should also be overruled. The "similar in nature" standard illustrated by the Board in Kroger, according to GC Abruzzo, permits "[s]ingling out union activity for negative treatment," and, therefore, is inconsistent with the NLRA.
Takeaways
Although the precedent in UPMC and Kroger remain good law for the moment, this Advice Memorandum clearly signals the General Counsel's intention to encourage Regions to issue a complaint in similar subsequent cases, with the goal of getting the Board to ultimately overrule those decisions.
As a result, given the current composition of the Board for the foreseeable future, it seems all but inevitable that UPMC and Kroger will be overturned, and the "public spaces" exception under Babcock that existed prior to 2019 will go back into effect. If that occurs, then unions will (once again) be permitted to access public spaces on or adjacent to employer's private property, as long as the union representatives use the spaces consistently with the public property's intended use and were not disruptive to the employer.

The Imo state government on Wednesday called on the members of the public to ignore the satanic message that governor Hope Uzodimma, was down with a stroke and rushed to an Indian hospital.
The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, made this statement to newsmen in Owerri, while reacting to a voice record spreading rumour on social media that the governor was sick and was flown to India.
The government said those behind the rumours were “descendants of Lucifer who are vainly wishing evil on the governor” adding that they would be disappointed.
According to the Imo government, “Uzodimma is not only hale and hearty but has been energetically attending to all his scheduled activities in the nation’s capital, Abuja. Those behind the satanic rumours are descendants of Lucifer who are vainly wishing evil on the governor. Uzodinma is not afflicted with any challenge that would have led to a stroke.
“His Excellency attended a meeting with the president alongside other APC governors this morning. As I speak, he has entered another party meeting with other stakeholders ahead of APC’s convention. So I don’t know what those concocting this rumour want to achieve. We warned the purveyors of the rumours to desist forthwith before they suffer unmitigated disaster.”
“It was clear that those who do not wish the governor well have been fantasizing about a phantom illness, saying however that they will continue to be disappointed as Uzodimma is enjoying robust health and attending to state duties.
“We urge the people of the state and indeed Nigerians to disregard this fabrication from mentally deranged elements seeking attention over nothing the matter has been handed over to the relevant security agencies to unravel those behind the satanic audio recording.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/its-satanic-message-spreading-rumour-im-sick-uzodimma/ | 2022-06-02T08:11:11Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/its-satanic-message-spreading-rumour-im-sick-uzodimma/ | false | 3 |

ExpressVPN, one of the most popular Virtual Private Network (VPN) service providers globally, has shut its India servers after it refused to comply with the Indian government's new orders for VPN services. The company said its decision to shut India servers, however, will have "minimal difference" for users. That will be possible through virtual server locations. That will mean anyone who wants to connect to Indian servers will be able to do that through Singapore and UK servers.
Indian government's diktat for Virtual Private Network service providers operating in the country is not going down well. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), which is an agency that works under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), issued a directive in April that all VPN service providers will need to store their users' data for at least five years. It mandated that service providers must store users' account information, such as their names, IP addresses assigned to them, their online behaviour, and other data that some might deem confidential.
The move met severe criticism from across the VPN industry but with no relief to avail from the government, VPN providers began to shut their India servers to escape compliance. Among the VPN service providers that have either quit India or shut down their servers located in India are NordVPN and ExpressVPN.
"With a recent data law introduced in India requiring all VPN providers to store user information for at least five years, ExpressVPN has made the very straightforward decision to remove our Indian-based VPN servers," said the British Virgin Island-based ExpressVPN in a blog post. "The new data law initiated by India's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), intended to help fight cybercrime, is incompatible with the purpose of VPNs, which are designed to keep users' online activity private."
ExpressVPN has not only refused to comply with India's new directive, but it has called the law "overarching." It said that the new law is so broad that it will open up a window for potential abuse. "We believe the damage done by potential misuse of this kind of law far outweighs any benefit that lawmakers claim would come from it." The company restated that it does not collect logs of user activity, which includes browsing history, traffic destination, data content, and DNS queries. Connection logs, such as IP addresses, VPN IP addresses, connection timestamps, and session durations, the company said, are also never stored.
Users in India will have no impact by this move, however. That is because ExpressVPN will allow connections to Indian websites through Singapore and UK servers. And connecting to other servers outside of India is going to work like before.

Sonos has launched a new audio product in India. Expanding its soundbar portfolio, Sonos has added a new compact soundbar to the list called the Ray soundbar. Sonos is a premium audio brand that forayed into the Indian audio market in July last year. The California-based audio brand introduced a range of premium speakers in India, including the Sonos Move, Sonos Five and Sonos Arc. The company aims to take on the likes of Bose, Apple, Harman Kardon, Marshall and others in the premium audio market segment.
Sonos Ray joins the list of exalted audio products in India. Talking about the speaker, Patrick Spence, CEO of Sonos said, "Homes have become movie theaters, fitness studios, gaming hubs and so much more, all supported by a streaming era that is no longer exclusive to just TV, music and film.Ray makes it easier than ever to enhance those listening experiences, thanks to its smaller size and impressive sound."
The Sonos Ray has been launched at Rs 37,999 but the compact speaker will not be available for purchase immediately. Buyers will have to wait till September to lay their hands on the Sonos Ray as the speaker will go on sale in September this year, the company said in a statement. The soundbar has been offered in two colours including White and Black.
The Sonos Ray soundbar features a slim and compact design. The soundbar can be kept alongside the television on a TV cabinet. It wouldn't consume a lot of your space owing to its compact form factor. The company has said that the Sonos Ray soundbar offers room- filling sound , the speaker uses custom-designed waveguides to project sound from wall to wall, and it is equipped with advanced processing, which accurately positions elements throughout your room so you feel like you're at the center of the story.
The Sonos Ray has a new bass reflex system with a proprietary design that delivers thrilling lows with perfectly weighted bass, while custom acoustics precisely harmonize mid and high-range frequencies. The company has claimed that, like all Sonos speakers, Ray was also tuned with the input of the Sonos Soundboard, a collection of leaders across music, film and more. Fine tune the sound even further with Trueplay to create the ideal listening experience for any room.

While Nora Fatehi’s phenomenal dance moves exhibit the prowess of her goal-worthy physique, her bold body con sartorial picks impeccably flaunt it. The Internet sensation has not only wowed millions with her voguish couture but has also won the critics. And something similar happened recently when the diva swayed us all in her latest vintage look. The actress, who never shies away from experimenting with her looks, sent all her fans and followers in a frenzy when she perfectly added the contemporary touch to her dreamy vintage look. On Wednesday, Nora dropped a reel on her official Instagram account, wherein she not only flaunted her flawless body but also gave us a glance of her getting ready in her stylish avatar.
Dazzling in a velvety royal blue gown, Nora surely felt gleaming in her skin, as she couldn’t help but strike poses throughout the video. Nora’s alluring strapless gown featured a thigh-high slit with a plunging round neckline. The gorgeous ensemble also featured the minimal floor-sweeping train. And giving the vintage appeal to her outfit, Nora added the dramatic matching velvet gloves to her look. Adding the perfect glitz to her OOTD were her accessories, which involved a shiny silver statement necklace, a pair of dainty earrings, and sparkly rings. The actress also sported the appealing bracelets above her gloves. She finished her look with shiny high heels and a messy high ponytail with a cat-eye look.
While dropping the video, which appears to be taken in Mumbai outside the sets of her reality show Dance Deewane Juniors, the actress wrote in the caption,"Sway with me." She ended her caption with a blue heart and nazar emoticons. The comments section was flooded with the blue heart emoticons. And several fans couldn’t help but tag her with the “queen" title, as she is one of the divas who rules the fashion world. Actor and choreographer Shivani Patel Nihalani commented, “Queen," and ended her comment with a red heart emoticon.
On the professional front, Nora is currently judging the kids’ dance reality show Dance Deewane Juniors, along with the veteran actress Neetu Kapoor and choreographer Marzi Pestonji. Nora often posts the BTS videos from the sets of the reality show on her insta handle.

There’s been a women’s rights crisis in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover of the country in August last year, a flurry of media accounts and reports from activist groups have indicated.
The country’s defence minister, though, vehemently disagrees. In a global exclusive interview with CNN-News18, Mullah Yaqoob, who is also the son of Taliban founder and late supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, denied any issuance of oppressive rules for women by the Islamic Emirate.
“You see there is no such order on stopping education there and it is delayed in the absence of any order and clarity. This only means that there would be an atmosphere where education is given on the basis of Sharia and Afghan laws. On the question of hijab, 99% of women and girls voluntarily wear hijab which is integral to Afghans. This is also consonant with Islam and its values. There are no directives from the Islamic Emirate government. This is stressed that neither have we given any such orders nor will we give such orders which would trouble the masses," he said.

The Afghan defence minister also hit back at countries that have been accusing the Taliban regime of curbing the fundamental rights of people, particularly women.
“I also say if there is freedom of human and women’s rights, then why is the world muted on the restrictions imposed on wearing of hijab in France and other countries that have forbidden women to wear hijab?" he said. “Women are free to wear hijab as per their wishes. I would say that the world should take note of reality and know what is happening."
Nations must act in a neutral manner, urged Mullah Yaqoob.
“In other countries, restrictions were placed on the growing of beard, which is integral and Sunnat in Islam. There are more such directives and no one has objected to these orders that other countries have put. We strongly object to those countries who call themselves free and fair in their conduct," he said. “We have not given any such drastic orders. In my view the concerns of other countries about us are baseless. They must strive to form cordial bilateral relations with us and not use hijab and other issues as an alibi to hamper our official capacity and relations."

Sam Fender was spotted emerging from the pub looking a little worse for wear after enjoying a few drinks with Johnny Depp.
Johnny, 58, s hocked fans when he was seen in Newcastle's Bridge Tavern with Jeff Beck, 77, and Sam drinking a few pints.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor was first seen moments before the verdict of his high profile case against ex-wife Amber Heard was announced.
Meanwhile, it seemed like Sam found the ultimate way to kick off the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday as he got on the beers with the Hollywood superstar.
The Geordie singer later emerged from the pub clutching a half-drunk pint in one hand while raising his other arm into the air and giving a thumbs up to the cameras.
The Seventeen Going Under singer looked cool and casual in a yellow t-shirt with a black collar and navy trousers paired with chunky black boots.
Just hours before he emerged from the boozer, Sam caused a social media storm as he posted a photo of him sat in a pub garden with Jeff and Johnny on his Instagram Stories.
Sharing the snap of the trio, plus some fans, sitting around a pub garden table, Sam wrote: "Some serious heroes."
Dressed in a baseball cap, sunglasses and a checked overcoat, Johnny drank Newcastle Brown Ale.
He had traditional fish and chips before he left to listen to the verdict in the court case verdict around 7pm.
Later, he was spotted celebrating his victory over Heard in the Jam Jar venue in the Jesmond area of the city.
Following the verdict, which saw Johnny win the high-profile defamation case, the actor released a statement through his spokesperson.
He had 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 travelled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career.
“And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.”
Depp went on to say his decision to pursue the case “was only made after considerable thought” and his goal was to “reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome”.
He went on to say he has been 'overwhelmed' by the support and that he hopes his 'quest to have the truth be told' helps others.
Meanwhile, Amber released a statement saying she felt “heartbroken” by the ruling, adding she was “sadder still” that she had “lost a right” to “speak freely and openly”.

Historic preservation efforts, new police cruisers up for vote at Dartmouth's town meeting
DARTMOUTH — Historic preservation and passing a balanced budget in challenging times are on the agenda for Tuesday’s special and annual town meetings.
The meetings on June 7 will begin at 9 a.m. at the Dartmouth Middle School where voters will be asked to decide on a four-article Special Town Meeting warrant, followed by an 18-article Annual Town Meeting.
“Approximately 68% of these estimated budgeted increases have been set aside for school funding, an amount sufficient to allow school funding for local and regional schools to increase by 4.96%. The remainder of the estimated increases were mostly used to fund increases in pension obligations, contractual obligations, minor staffing changes and insurance costs,” the Select Board wrote in a prepared statement.
Both the town administrator and the Finance Committee echoed the statements in separate releases, saying the proposed $96.8 million budget does not raise taxes beyond the 2.5 percent threshold and will still provide needed services.
Property Transfers: New Bedford 'dream home' (three Juliet balconies!) sells for $650,000
“Overall, the proposed budget provides adequate support for fundamental town services. The Finance Committee expects the (fiscal) 23 budget, as proposed, will enable the Town to make progress toward achieving the Select Board goals,” the Finance Committee wrote in a statement.
The budget will also keep in mind future projects and maintaining the town’s historic character.
Preserving Dartmouth town records
The Community Preservation Committee voted 6-0 to hire a professional to work with the town clerk in preserving records dating back to 1718.
Records in need of repair will be restored to the best possible condition and preserved in protective sleeves, storage containers or shelving. These records include marriage, death, and annual town reports, according to a statement from the town’s CPC. The recommended amount for the work is $25,000.
The first item on the special town meeting warrant will ask voters to take funds left over from this current year and put $15,000 toward community housing and an additional $15,000 toward historic preservation, according to the warrant.
Water enterprise funds
Voters will also be asked to appropriate $721,000 to the water enterprise fund. Due to the temporary shutdowns this past year of Violetta and Panelli wells, the town had to purchase New Bedford water.
The Capital Planning Committee this year is recommending voters' approval for spending close to $3.4 million in capital requests. Some of that money – less than $500,000 would come from the tax levy – while the rest would come from surplus funds.
A closer look:Issues with this brook are causing flooding at New Bedford and Dartmouth homes.
The police department is requesting four new cruisers, and other projects would be for school technology, public works, water and sewer, among other items. | https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/2022/06/02/dartmouths-annual-town-meeting-slated-june-7/7467307001/ | 2022-06-02T08:40:40Z | https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/2022/06/02/dartmouths-annual-town-meeting-slated-june-7/7467307001/ | true | 2 |
Michael Nesmith’s four children searched everywhere they could think of for what they thought had to be their famous father’s original will created in 1994, but it could not be found. They searched the Monkees’ band member’s Carmel Valley home where he died on Dec. 10, 2021 at the age of 78, and his Video Ranch offices in Sand City, to no avail, according to their attorney, Jonathan Wolf, in court documents.
A subpoena of the Los Angeles law firm where they believe the 1994 will was created similarly turned up nothing. In the document submitted ahead of a hearing in Monterey County Superior Court on May 4, Wolf said the will could be in two other places and told Judge Julie Culver the search would continue. Executor Howard Leitner says he doesn’t know where it might be. “Everybody is trying to do what they can to look for it,” he says.
The only will in the court’s hands is a one-page handwritten will Nesmith created on July 8, 2014, naming Leitner as executor and leaving everything to the Gihon Foundation, created by his mother, Bette Nesmith Graham, in 1977.Over the years Nesmith used the foundation’s funds to keep the innovative online performance space called Video Ranch 3D in operation, among other projects. The four children serve as the foundation’s board members.
On May 4, Culver admitted the handwritten will into probate at the request of Nesmith’s children.
Cynthia Davis was originally a special administrator of the estate who served before Leitner. She estimated the value of Nesmith’s estate at around $3.6 million, but the children argued in court documents that it was really $1.95 million, because in a trust Nesmith set up in 1994 he left all of his personal belongings to his then-wife Victoria Kennedy. At the hearing, Culver set a probate bond at $1.95 million, which protects the assets should the estate be mismanaged in any way. A final hearing is scheduled in Superior Court in Monterey at 9am on June 7. | https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/local_news/michael-nesmith-s-children-fail-to-find-the-will-they-thought-he-created-ahead-of/article_939918d2-e1e0-11ec-aede-ff2cbb64e88d.html | 2022-06-02T08:42:54Z | https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/local_news/michael-nesmith-s-children-fail-to-find-the-will-they-thought-he-created-ahead-of/article_939918d2-e1e0-11ec-aede-ff2cbb64e88d.html | true | 1 |

Astamfordbridgetoofar have reported via Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport (h/t Football.London) that Chelsea are leading the race to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
The Frenchman has one year left on his current contract at Turin and might be open to leaving the club this summer. He made a slow start to last season but picked up the pace in the second half of the campaign.
Rabiot ended the season with 45 appearances, making two assists. He was primarily used in central midfield but made some appearances on the left flank as well.
The Frenchman has kept the option open for a return to Paris Saint-Germain, with Newcastle United also reportedly interested in his services. However, it is Chelsea who are believed to be leading the race for the Nations League winner.
The Blues have two ageing midfielders in Jorginho(30) and N'Golo Kante (31). They will need replacing sooner rather than later, and Rabiot (27) could be a smart buy for Thomas Tuchel.
He is expected to cost only €15 million, making him an alluring target.
Should Chelsea sign Adrien Rabiot?
The Blues have a huge summer ahead of them. After confirming the takeover of the new owners, they now have to work hard to fix the team that has seemingly fallen off the wagon.
They have also lost two important centre-backs in Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers. Their leading centre-back is a 37-year-old Brazilian, Thiago Silva, who will turn 38 in less than four months.
Their forwards are failing to fire, with Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea's club-record signing) once again tipped to leave the club this summer.
They need reinforcements all over the park, with Kante and Jorginho now both on the wrong side of 30.
It points to the fact that the Blues could be in for a summer of heavy investing and would do well to get some cheap signings over the line - like that of Rabiot.
At 27, he is likely to prove to be a good squad player at a meagre cost to the club. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/chelsea-in-pole-position-to-sign-27-year-old-juventus-star-reports | 2022-06-02T08:46:08Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/chelsea-in-pole-position-to-sign-27-year-old-juventus-star-reports | false | 1 |
Saanich launches inaugural 'Pride Month' and first pride event
The District of Saanich is partnering with the Victoria Pride Society and the Inter-cultural Association (ICA) to celebrate LGBTQ2+ members in the community this month.
On Wednesday, a ceremony was held to raise the Progress Pride Flag on the flagpole at the entrance to Saanich’s municipal hall.
The district has also declared June to be "Pride Month in Saanich" in support of, and celebration of, the Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community.
"Saanich council and staff look forward each year to the many Pride activities in our community," said acting Mayor Karen Harper.
"We strive to eliminate discrimination in all of its forms, choosing instead to help create an equitable and inclusive community that addresses discrimination in our diverse home."
New for this year, the municipality will be hosting "Pride in the Park," a family-friendly event at Beckwith Park which will feature live music, food, and activities, including pride-themed crafts for participants to take home.
The event will take place on June 16 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"Every year we do a little bit more to raise visibility and safety for the 2-SLGBTQ+ community," said Saanich community services senior manager Cristina Caravaca.
"To us, LGBTQ+ communities are not new, we’ve always been here, and it’s just a time to celebrate and make everybody feel part of the community," she said.
PRIDE PARADE RETURNS
The Victoria Pride Society says by expanding Pride events in Saanich, there's more inclusion and growth for the LGBTQ2+ members living in Greater Victoria.
"Often we feel like we get to be ourselves one day a year, fully ourselves, without judgement," said Victoria Pride Society president Britton Kohn.
"This means we are adding more days to the calendar in more municipalities and I hope other municipalities follow Saanich’s leadership."
Kohn says one of the highlights for 2022 is the return of the Victoria Pride Parade.
It is the first time the organization has been able to hold in-person events since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.
"I invite everyone to come out and celebrate with each other," said Kohn.
The Victoria Pride Festival kicks off on June 23 and runs until July 2. A full list of events can be found on the Victoria Pride website. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/saanich-launches-inaugural-pride-month-and-first-pride-event-1.17913118 | 2022-06-02T08:46:21Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/saanich-launches-inaugural-pride-month-and-first-pride-event-1.17913118 | false | 1 |
The Lekki Estate Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA) has asked the Lagos State Government to sustain the ban on the activities of commercial motorcycles in some parts of the state.
LERSA President, Mr James Emadoye, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
According to him, a monitoring exercise by the association revealed decorum and less traffic congestion along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, starting from the 1004 Residential Estate.
He said the development meant a plus for the policy and the effort of the state government to sanitise its motorways.
Emadoye also said that Nigerians should learn to do some more physical exercises, such as trekking.
He stated that though many might have to trek a few kilometres, the exercise would beneficial to overall health and wellness of the people.
“The roads were so free today and this ban is something that the government should sustain given the pluses that the scheme had recorded so far.
“I also laud the motorcyclists for their understanding so far as the areas were free from demonstrations and the likes,“ he said.
The Lagos State Government on Wednesday began the enforcement of the ban on commercial motorcycles from operating in six LGAs and nine Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) of the state.

Indian officials in Kabul for talks on aid distribution
NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian foreign ministry officials are visiting Kabul for talks with the Taliban and international organizations involved in the distribution of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. The External Affairs Ministry says India has dispatched wheat, medicines, COVID-19 vaccine and winter clothing to Afghanistan to meet shortages there and plans to send more assistance. India has no diplomatic ties with Afghanistan since the Taliban took over Kabul in August last year, but its diplomats have met Taliban representatives in Doha, Qatar. Before the Taliban took Kabul, India had provided Afghan security forces with training and military equipment but had no troops on the ground. It was also the region’s largest provider of development aid to Afghanistan. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/02/indian-officials-in-kabul-for-talks-on-aid-distribution/ | 2022-06-02T08:49:51Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/02/indian-officials-in-kabul-for-talks-on-aid-distribution/ | true | null |
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s prime minister recently asserted that the vast majority of Polish judges under scrutiny by a controversial judicial chamber were drunk drivers, rapists or thieves.
That claim was quickly rejected by nearly 60 judges being investigated by the so-called Disciplinary Chamber at the Supreme Court of Poland.
In an open letter to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, they said none among them had committed crimes, and all were instead being targeted for defending judicial independence.
Their fate — and the independence of Polish courts more broadly — is at the heart of a dispute with the European Union, which has withheld billions of euros in pandemic recovery funds to Warsaw over the matter.
Here is a look at some of the key issues at play as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visits Warsaw on Thursday to discuss the matter.
WHAT LEVERAGE DOES THE EU HAVE?
People are also reading…
For months, the EU has prevented the government in Warsaw from accessing its share of the bloc's pandemic recovery funding over the issue of judicial independence.
Poland badly needs the money as it struggles to absorb around 2 million Ukrainian refugees at a time of nearly 14% inflation.
The European Commission, which is the EU’s executive branch, finally approved Poland’s pandemic recovery plan Wednesday night but said the release of nearly 36 billion euros ($38.5 billion) in grants and loans would depend on Warsaw reforming its judiciary.
Some are accusing the commission of capitulating to Warsaw, only days after it gave in to Hungary’s authoritarian leader by giving Budapest a near-total exemption from an oil embargo on Russia.
It approved Poland's recovery fund as Warsaw has held up a plan to impose an EU-wide minimum 15% tax rate on multinationals.
WHAT DOES THE EU SEE AS THE PROBLEM?
When the governing Law and Justice party first held power, from 2005 to 2007, it saw its ambitions for a conservative remake of Poland derailed by the courts. After the party returned to power in 2015, leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski set about ensuring it had more compliant courts before pushing through other changes.
Once the party gained near-total control over the Constitutional Tribunal, it harnessed it to help enshrine conservative values in the law.
In an example of the court's power to affect regular citizens, it ruled in late 2020 that abortion of congenitally damaged fetuses — previously allowed under the law — was unconstitutional.
The ruling, which further restricted one of Europe's strictest abortion laws, triggered the largest protests in Poland's 30 years of post-communist history.
HOW HAS POLAND'S GOVERNMENT TARGETED JUDGES?
Two other key areas of controversy center on how judges are selected, and how they can be disciplined by being stripped of having their powers to sit in court and issue judgements.
The ruling party changed the rules governing the body which appoints judges to courts, the National Council of the Judiciary. It was established to ensure judges' independence, but since 2018 it has come under the political control of the ruling party. Some of the judges the council has appointed sit on the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court.
Last year a European umbrella group, the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary, expelled the Polish council, saying it no longer safeguarded the independence of the judiciary or individual judges.
The EU court ruled last year the Disciplinary Chamber to be illegal and ordered Poland to pay a fine of 1 million euros per day fine as long as it operates.
ARE POLISH JUDGES HONEST?
Dariusz Mazur, a Krakow judge, vice-president and the spokesman of Themis, an association of judges, said Polish judges have for years been the target of a disinformation campaign by the ruling party which seeks to discredit them by unfairly depicting them as corrupt.
He recalled a state-funded 2017 billboard campaign that sought to justify new judicial laws by citing the case of a judge who shoplifted. “The information was true, but the judge was already retired for many years and was mentally ill,” he said.
Mazur said that only 10% of current disciplinary proceedings involve actual misconduct by judges, while 90% are politically motivated proceedings against judges who defend the independence of the judiciary.
Mazur himself is the subject of four disciplinary proceedings over public statements in defense of an independent judiciary.
John Morijn, a law professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, said that in the years before Law and Justice won power in 2015, Polish courts had a reputation for being slow but not corrupt.
The allegations made by ruling authorities amount to “a witch hunt against judges,” he said.
WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT SAY?
The Polish government has repeatedly denounced EU court rulings and attempts to link funding to democratic behavior as attacks on the country’s sovereignty.
It argues that EU institutions have no right to interfere in judicial matters and that Warsaw has the right to shape its own legal system.
In fact, EU member states are free to organize their own judiciaries as long as their systems respect the principle of judicial independence.
WHAT CHANGES DOES THE EU WANT?
The European Commission has described “milestones" Poland should reach to unlock funds. These include abolishing the Disciplinary Chamber, reforming the disciplinary regime and reinstating unlawfully dismissed judges.
None of these conditions have been met.
A plan approved by parliament last week abolishes the Disciplinary Chamber and replaces it with a Chamber for Professional Accountability that would operate in much the same way. It would be filled with judges chosen by the disputed National Council of the Judiciary.
And only one suspended judge, Pawel Juszczyszyn, has so far had his suspension lifted. After 839 days, he returned to work at the District Court of Olsztyn in recent days only to learn that he was being transferred from working on civil law cases — his field for more than 20 years — to family law. He was also ordered to go on leave.
“These decisions are made in gross violation of the law,” Juszczyszyn said Wednesday, vowing to fight them.

Boxer has selected Relex Solutions, provider of unified retail planning solutions, to implement forecasting and replenishment for its stores and distribution centres.
As one of South Africa’s fastest-growing discounters, Boxer will leverage the Relex solution in more than 300 stores and five distribution centres, improving availability and driving sales across all its activities.
Prior to Relex, Boxer used its own in-house systems to manage this area. However, it saw the opportunity with Relex to implement a specialized system to support the company’s rapidly scaling needs. The Relex solution will automate previously time-consuming processes while driving inventory reduction and improve availability in stores and distribution centres.
Boxer will leverage Relex’s flexibility to manage the complex needs of approximately 3,500 SKU’s across its commodity, groceries, butchery, bakery, health & beauty, non-foods, liquor and DIY categories within a single solution.
“Our mission at Boxer is to make quality products and services available to our shoppers at market leading prices,” says Justin Galloway, group executive of supply chain at Boxer. “We knew we wanted to invest long-term in a supply chain tool that could automate many of our processes as well as bring about improvements in availability and working capital. Relex will not only drive forecast accuracy and bring in machine learning and AI into the business, but also bring about efficiencies in Boxer’s supply chain planning.”
“We’re thrilled to expand for the first time into the South African market, and we’re extremely proud to be doing it with Boxer as our partner,” says Jason Berry, vice-president: sales for Central Europe and South Africa at Relex. “Boxer and Relex share a commitment to translating efficiency and effectiveness into the best possible experience for end consumers. Relex has the depth of experience needed to assist Boxer with its forward momentum and growth as a leading price-point retailer with a large, complex assortment, and we’re eager to get to work with the company’s talented team.”
Working alongside a local implementation partner, HeadByte Retail played a key role in the Relex expansion into South Africa. Berry commentS: “We are delighted to work alongside HeadByte and to leverage their local experience, support and investment in delivering business benefits to Boxer and its customers. Relex’s global partner community is constantly growing and we couldn’t be more excited by this relationship.” | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/02/boxer-signs-up-with-relex-solutions/ | 2022-06-02T08:54:39Z | https://it-online.co.za/2022/06/02/boxer-signs-up-with-relex-solutions/ | false | 1 |
£2 fertility cups that ‘retain semen’ and promise to increase chances of getting pregnant are being sold to desperate couples on eBay — but experts warn they could cause deadly infections
- EXCLUSIVE: MailOnline found dozens of fertility devices touted to Brits on eBay
- They included 'cups' for women to insert after sex and 'fertility tests' for men
- But fertility chiefs have warned the products could potentially damage health
Cheap and dangerous fertility devices are being sold to desperate couples on eBay, MailOnline can reveal.
Experts warned the products - some of which need to be inserted into a woman's vagina - could cause deadly infections or allergic reactions.
This website found dozens of examples being sold for as little as £2 which claim to boost the chance of becoming pregnant.
They included 'cups' for women to insert for up to 12 hours after sex to 'retain sperm' and boost the chance of becoming pregnant, as well as male 'fertility tests' which promise to provide an 'accurate sperm count'.
The 'cups' used by women could be made from unregulated materials and trigger toxic shock syndrome, when bacteria gets into the body and causes a life-threatening reaction, experts said.
And the fertility tests, which are not regulated or approved, run the risk of a faulty result, they warned.
Men should turn to a GP if they are struggling to conceive in case they have an underlying health problem, the experts added.
This website found dozens of products online targeted at couples trying to conceive. A 'Flex Disc', which costs £10 for a packet of three, claims to be a 'baby making' device that women insert into the vagina for after sex and wear for up to 12 hours. The seller claims it is a 'proven' aid that works by sitting 'up at the cervix and helps [semen] get on their way'
A silicone Fertility Cup is also available, which instructs women to insert it after sex to 'retain sperm for up to eight hours'. It also states sperm can be deposited directly into the cup before it is put into the vagina
The cheapest version of these products, branded a 'sperm collector', is sold for just £1.74. No instructions for using the product are available
Meanwhile, male fertility tests are also being sold on eBay from £7.95. The products claim to give an accurate sperm count within minutes. Some pharmacies, including Boots and Superdrug, also sell versions of sperm tests. But they warn customers to make an appointment with their doctor for further tests if the device shows a low result
Fertility problems are thought to affect one in seven couples in the UK.
Treatments including medicines, surgical procedures and assisted conception - such as IVF - are available to couples struggling to get pregnant.
But experts told MailOnline there is a growing trend of people seeking out their own healthcare needs as NHS waits continue to get longer.

It also states sperm can be deposited directly into the cup before it is put into the vagina.
The cheapest version of these products, branded a 'sperm collector', is sold for just £1.74. No instructions for using the product are available.
Some couples have told of their success after using the sperm-catching cups, which are put into the vagina after sex to stop semen from escaping.
Kate Bennison, 36, from Redcar in Yorkshire, became pregnant in December after unsuccessfully trying for a second baby for half a year after using a £49 'twoplus sperm guide', which works in a similar way to the devices sold on eBay.
Clare Ettinghausen, director of strategy and corporate affairs at the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, warned such devices could cause harm and likely do not work.
She said: 'There are many products available to patients that claim to enhance their fertility but many of these claims are unproven and, in some cases, could be damaging to their health.
'Patients looking for fertility advice should speak to their GP or clinic.'
And Dr James Hopkisson, medical director at TFP Fertility Group, told MailOnline: 'We will never be able to regulate this sort of market and consumers should be aware of the limited evidence base for these types of devices in improving fertility.'
EBay took down several of the listings after being alerted by MailOnline but there were still several other similar devices live at the time of writing.
An eBay spokesperson said: 'We have strict policies in place to ensure that any medical product sold on eBay is not misleading and does not pose a risk to our community.
'We have removed some of these products and will work closely with stakeholders, including the MHRA, to confirm if any others breach our policies.'
Medical devices sold in the UK are subject to regulation and checks by the medicines watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Any adverse events reported to sellers must then be fed back to the MHRA.
'Unregulated devices may not have this oversight,' Dr Hopkisson said. This means they may not be tested or safe to use.
He said fertility products inserted into the vagina could trigger toxic shock syndrome — a rare but life-threatening condition caused by bacteria getting into the body and releasing harmful toxins.
The condition is often caused by tampons and barrier contraception — such as a diaphragm — being left in too long.
There is a 'theoretical risk' that fertility products could trigger the same problem, especially if they break the skin when inserted, Dr Hopkisson added.
Meanwhile, male fertility tests are also being sold on eBay from £7.95. The products claim to give an accurate sperm count within minutes.
Some pharmacies, including Boots and Superdrug, also sell versions of sperm tests.
But they warn customers to make an appointment with their doctor for further tests if the device shows a low result.
Laureate Professor John Aitken, a reproductive biologist at the University of Newcastle in Australia, said people seeking out at-home tests is part of a 'general trend in medicine' of patients 'trying to gain as much control as possible over their own healthcare needs'.
But he warned any test results from tests sold online have to be 'carefully confirmed and discussed with healthcare professionals'.
Medics can put the results into context and inform patients 'what the results actually mean, in terms of their fertility potential', Professor Aitken added.
Dr Hopkisson warned delays in conception should be alerted to a person's GP because 'risk factors' could be contributing to problems getting pregnant. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10802003/2-fertility-cups-retain-semen-sold-desperate-couples-eBay.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-02T09:01:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10802003/2-fertility-cups-retain-semen-sold-desperate-couples-eBay.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |

The Nation's Weather for Thursday, June 2, 2022
_____
NATIONAL SUMMARY
Hot and humid air will be squeezed to the Southeastern
states, the western Gulf Coast and the mid-Atlantic region
today. A cold front will extend from the interior Northeast
to the Tennessee Valley and southern Plains with showers and
thunderstorms. Some of the storms can produce torrential
downpours and flash flooding as well as damaging winds and
hail. Cooler air will sprawl over the balance of the Central
states, but not to the magnitude of recent weeks. Clouds and
a few showers will be scattered from Washington to Montana,

Questions about whether dogs can sniff out Covid — and how well — have intrigued researchers since early in the pandemic.
A study published Wednesday in the journal Plos One offers further evidence that dogs can indeed be trained to detect Covid. The dogs tested in the research accurately identified 97 percent of positive cases after sniffing human sweat samples. That made them more sensitive than some rapid antigen tests.
The samples were collected at community centers in Paris from a mix of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, as well as healthy people without Covid. The researchers found the dogs to be especially good at detecting asymptomatic infections, with a sensitivity nearing 100 percent.
Previous studies have also highlighted this canine skill: Researchers in Florida last year found that that dogs could predict positive Covid tests with 73 to 93 percent accuracy after a month of training. In a U.K. study, dogs accurately pinpointed 82 to 94 percent of positive cases.
The new study was conducted in early 2021, so the dogs were identifying the original coronavirus. Dominique Grandjean, one of the study’s authors and a professor at the Alfort National Veterinary School in France, said he’s now examining how well dogs pick up on variants.
Grandjean said his findings suggest that dogs might be useful for detecting Covid in airports, nursing homes, schools, or sporting events. Already, dogs have helped sniff out Covid at airports in Saudi Arabia, Finland and the United Arab Emirates.
Dogs "only need a few molecules" to identify a positive case, Grandjean said.
But Dr. Cynthia Otto, director of the Penn Vet Working Dog Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said it's difficult to train dogs to detect Covid in the real world.
"The ideal — and I would consider it the Holy Grail — is that the dog is just standing there, a person walks by, and they say, 'Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no,'" Otto said. "That eventually could be done, but making sure it’s done with all the proper controls and quality assurances and safety — it’s a big step. I haven’t seen anyone who has proposed how to make that transition in a way that’s scientific and safe."
A less invasive way to detect Covid?
For the new study, researchers trained five dogs by rewarding them with toys for detecting a positive Covid sample.
The dogs then sniffed 335 sweat samples, 109 of which were positive on PCR lab tests. Each sample was placed in a tiny box behind a cone, with the cones lined up in rows of 10. If a dog thought it detected a positive case, it would sit down.
Grandjean estimated that it took just 15 seconds for the dogs to analyze 20 Covid samples. When it came to categorizing negative samples — known as specificity in testing — the dogs were slightly less accurate. They identified 91 percent of the Covid-free samples correctly, meaning they gave some false positives.
Still, Grandjean said, dogs offer a couple advantages for Covid testing: They’re less invasive than a nasal or throat swab and provide more immediate results (not counting the training time).
Both Grandjean and Otto also said that dogs have demonstrated an ability to detect infections earlier in the course of a person’s illness than PCR tests. In many cases, Grandjean hypothesized, someone who tests negative on a PCR but positive according to a dog’s assessment will likely test positive on a PCR two days later.
Otto said dogs might therefore be a useful prescreening tool to flag potential cases that could later be confirmed in a lab.
'Don’t try this at home'
Before the pandemic, Grandjean was studying whether dogs could sniff out colon cancer. In 2020, he switched his focus to Covid. His research involves labradors, German shepherds and Belgian shepherds, and he previously found that dogs can detect Covid from sniffing a person’s mask.
Part of the reason dogs can do that, Grandjean said, is that they have an organ in their noses called the Jacobson’s organ, which helps them identify smells that seem odorless to humans. That's how dogs can pick up on coronavirus proteins.
Dogs can also smell volatile organic compounds, or gases found in exhaled air, saliva or sweat. Grandjean said Covid has certain volatile organic compounds that dogs detect, but "we don’t know exactly what they are chemically."
Grandjean said any breed could detect Covid if it enjoys playing and doesn’t have a shortened snout. Other animals, like cats, have similarly strong senses of smell, he added, but dogs are easier to train.
However, the training process is highly technical, Otto said. Outside odors can interfere, and it’s not always easy to tell if dogs are searching for the right scent. Dogs are taught using positive reinforcement; similar strategies are used to train them to find termites or sniff out drugs. But of course, not all dogs like the same rewards, Otto said.
"For some dogs, a ball might be the absolute best thing in the world, where another dog might think that a tug toy or a squeaky rabbit is the best thing," she said. Other dogs, meanwhile, just "get really bored with it."
What's more, Otto added, a dog's ability to detect Covid in a sweat sample or piece of clothing doesn't necessarily mean it will be able to do so when facing a real person.
"That’s one of the big challenges — to have the dog learn to translate from a sample to an entire human being, which is a much more complex odor," she said.
For anyone hoping to train their own pet to sniff out Covid, Otto had some advice: "Don’t try this at home." | https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/dogs-detect-covid-accuracy-rcna31438 | 2022-06-02T09:28:12Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/dogs-detect-covid-accuracy-rcna31438 | false | 1 |

UK military parade kicks off Platinum Jubilee celebrations
LONDON (AP) - Four days of celebrations honoring Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne will get underway Thursday with a display of British military traditions stretching from the days of horse and cannon to the jet age.
Formal celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee begin with Trooping the Color, an annual military review that has marked the sovereign’s official birthday since 1760. The queen is expected to join the working members of her family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at the end of the event, when 70 aircraft are set to roar overhead.
The jubilee is being commemorated with a four-day holiday weekend. The celebration of Elizabeth’s reign includes a service of thanksgiving Friday at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, a concert at Buckingham Palace on Saturday and a pageant staged by thousands of performers drawn from schools and community groups around the country on Sunday afternoon.
Throughout the weekend, neighborhood organizations and individuals are expected to hold thousands of street parties around the country, repeating a tradition that began with the queen’s coronation in 1953.
The 96-year-old queen is Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the first to reach the milestone of seven decades on the throne. The jubilee is giving many people — even those often indifferent to the monarchy — a chance to reflect on the state of the nation and the huge changes that have taken place during her reign.
Former Prime Minister John Major — one of the 14 prime ministers of the queen’s reign — said the monarch’s stoic presence had helped steer the country over the decades,
“The queen has represented our better selves for over 70 years,” he told the BBC.
In a written jubilee message, the queen thanked people in Britain and across the Commonwealth involved in organizing the celebrations. For many, the occasion is the first opportunity for a big bash since the start of the coronavirus pandemic more than two years ago.
“I know that many happy memories will be created at these festive occasions,” Elizabeth said.
“I continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me, and hope that the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last 70 years, as we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm,” she said.
Congratulations arrived from world leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron called Elizabeth “the golden thread that binds our two countries” and one of “very few constants” on the international stage.
“You are our friend, such a close ally, our example of service to others,” Macron told the queen in an English-language video message.
The name of the long weekend’s first event, Trooping the Color, refers to a regimental flag, or “color,” that is trooped through the ranks. Britain’s annual tradition for the queen’s birthday is a ceremonial reenactment of the way battle flags were once shown to soldiers to make sure they would recognize a crucial rallying point if they became disoriented in combat.
The troops that take part come from the army’s Household Division, composed of the seven regiments that perform ceremonial duties for the queen. Their members are fully trained soldiers and often deployed overseas when not on ceremonial duty.
Each year a different unit has the honor of trooping its color. The 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards will have the spotlight during the Platinum Jubilee.
The queen is expected to appear twice on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, but Prince Charles will play a key role during the event, taking the salute of passing soldiers on his mother’s behalf. Elizabeth has had trouble getting around of late, and her courtiers have been careful to keep make things as simple for her as possible.
The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duchess of Cambridge, The Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence are expected to travel in carriages to Horse Guards Parade, a ceremonial parade ground in St James’s Park.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join other royals to watch the spectacle. The couple have traveled from their home in California to take part in the celebrations.

Which “South Park” Funko POP! is best?
Funko dolls have become one of the hottest toys in the world, and just about every major movie/TV franchise has a line of it own Funko POP!, including “South Park.” The “South Park” Funko figurines roll out in waves, and new characters are still scheduled to be released in the future.
Loyal fans of the show will all have their own preferences over which Funko they like best, especially since a lot of the figurines are episode-specific, but the Police Officer Cartman Funko POP! is one of the best Funko figurines dedicated to the show. It is both adorable and hilarious, and longtime fans will appreciate this nod to one of Cartman’s most endearing personas.
What to know before you buy a “South Park” Funko POP!
Some Funko POP! figurines are exclusive
Certain Funko Pop! figurines are rare. Luckily, there is an easy way to tell if one of their figurines is exclusive, rare or limited edition. Look at the right lower corner of the box. If it has a “chase” sticker on it, that means it is rare and likely has a smaller print run compared to the regular Funko figurines. There are also some websites that list which figurines are rare or limited edition and keep track of the entire Funko POP! catalog.
Most Funko POP! figurines are not bobbleheads
A lot of people assume that Funko POP! figurines’ heads bobble since they bear a resemblance to bobbleheads. Most Funko figurines do not have heads that bobble. That said, most of the Star Wars and Marvel Funko figurines do have bobbleheads for licensing purposes. However, none of the “South Park” figurines released as of yet have shaking heads.
Funko makes similar products
Funko has other “South Park” products as well as its standard figurines. There are keychains made in the same Chibi style as the regular figurines, and there is even a town set that features South Park Elementary with PC principal. Funko is constantly creating new product lines, so it’s worth keeping up with if you are a collector.
What to look for in a quality “South Park” Funko POP!
Resemblance to the character
The Funko POP! line of figurines turns popular characters into adorable chibi versions of themselves. This usually means the characters have giant heads with large round eyes and may include or exclude other facial features (for example, Butters has no mouth). Some people love this while others don’t. Like any series, certain “South Park” characters and models fit the Chibi style better than others do.
Collectability
Certain figurines are more collectible than others. Casual fans will probably just pursue their favorite characters, but avid collectors might seek a complete set. Getting certain Funko figurines can be challenging since some are rare or exclusive to certain stores. For example, Goth Stan was initially exclusive to Hot Topic and some figurines have a very limited release before being discontinued. Discontinued Funko POP! figures can become expensive very quickly.
Fan favorites
Funko has something for every “South Park” fan out there. All of the main characters have their own Funko figurines, but there are many episode-specific figurines as well as figures dedicated to recurring side characters. Characters like AWESOM-O, Towelie, Professor Chaos and many more have their own Funko figurines.
“South Park” Funko POP! FAQ
Does every character in “South Park” have a Funko POP!?
A. “South Park” has been running for more than 20 seasons, and there are tons of characters in the show. All of the main characters have a Funko figurine, but it would be virtually impossible to create a Funko POP! for every citizen of South Park past and present.
Can Funko POP! dolls do anything?
A. Funko POP! figures are not interactive. Some have bobbleheads — most do not — but they are more of a collectors’ item to put on a shelf than anything else. They are made for fans who want to bring their favorite series to life in their homes or workspace.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The United States Embassy in Nassau yesterday raised the rainbow Pride Flag to support the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons in The Bahamas and around the world.
The Embassy joins U.S. Embassies in more than 100 countries in flying the rainbow flag.
In a statement, the embassy said: “As President Biden said, Pride Month is an opportunity to “recognize the resilience and determination of the many individuals who are fighting to live freely and authentically”.”
Pride Month commemorates years of struggle in the ongoing pursuit of equality under the law for members of the LGBTQI+ community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex).
“During the month of June—celebrated as Pride Month in the United States—the iconic rainbow flag will once again fly from the flagpole of the U.S. Embassy in Downtown Nassau and at the Chief of Mission’s Residence on Sanford Road,” the statement continued.
“Openly or not, LGBTQI+ persons play an integral role in every community and have made unique contributions to societies throughout history.”
During Pride Month, the embassy said it is supporting conversations and hosting events that highlight the importance of diversity in supporting a healthy, thriving democracy.
Among them, include three film screenings at the National Art Gallery: Milk (U.S.) on June 8; The Lavender Scare (U.S.) on June 17, and Children of God (Bahamas) on June 24.
The Embassy will join local partners to mark Pride Month in ways both big and small, the statement read.
A calendar of events can be found on the Embassy’s Facebook and Instagram pages (@usembassynassau) and follow us for updates on additional opportunities to celebrate Pride Month at local restaurants, bars, and art galleries.
“We aspire to a world where everyone is safe to live their lives as they see fit. Like people everywhere and throughout history, LGBTQI+ persons want to pursue their dreams, love their families, and live in a society that values them as equals,” the statement added. | https://ewnews.com/u-s-embassy-celebrates-lbgtqi-pride-month-in-june?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=u-s-embassy-celebrates-lbgtqi-pride-month-in-june | 2022-06-02T09:45:34Z | https://ewnews.com/u-s-embassy-celebrates-lbgtqi-pride-month-in-june?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=u-s-embassy-celebrates-lbgtqi-pride-month-in-june | true | 1 |
Man jailed for seven years after attempting to rape sex worker
- Credit: Metropolitan Police
A man has been jailed after attempting to rape a sex worker at knife point at a Marylebone flat.
Antonino Giagu, 58, of Fulham Palace Road, appeared at Southwark Crown Court yesterday (June 1) where he was sentenced to seven years and two months in prison.
He had previously pleaded guilty to attempted rape, causing grievous bodily harm (section 20) and possession of a bladed article.
In the early hours of February 28, Giagu arrived at a flat in Marylebone where he had arranged to meet a 22-year-old sex worker.
When she opened the door he forced her onto a bed and threatened her with a knife, demanding she have sex with him for free.
He held his hands over her mouth to stop her screaming but the victim managed to answer an incoming call on her phone, crying out for help.

Giagu tried to attack the man with the knife but he was unsuccessful.
The man managed to wrestle Giagu out of the flat and onto an external staircase from where he fled.
The police were called and Giagu was arrested nearby and taken into custody. He was charged on March 17 and remanded in custody.
Det Con Lloyd Leech, from the Westminster Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit, led the investigation.
He said: "This was a shocking attack on a woman who was alone and vulnerable. The fact that Giagu arrived at the flat with a knife in his possession strongly suggests it was calculated and pre-meditated.
“His actions that night terrified the victim and her friend. Had it not been for the bravery shown by both of them the outcome could have been even worse.
“We know that assaults, including sexual assaults, on sex workers are significantly under-reported. They deserve justice in the same way as any other victims and I hope this case shows that we will do all we can to get it for them." | https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/crime/marylebone-attempted-rape-of-sex-worker-2022-9011836 | 2022-06-02T09:46:40Z | https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/crime/marylebone-attempted-rape-of-sex-worker-2022-9011836 | false | 1 |

Amber Ray, ex-boyfriend in ‘sex in the bush’ beef
Socialite Amber Ray has responded to claims from her ex-boyfriend describing her as someone who cannot keep a man.
IB Kabba, a Sierra Leonean, who doubles as a professional basketball made the comment on his socials.
As seen in his Instagram stories, the basketballer did not hold back from calling out his ex on some of her alleged behaviors.
He claimed she lives a fake life on social media, adding that she needs to grow up.
“I feel sorry for anyone getting my ex. I hope you can clean her up tell her to take a shower all the time and stop living fake life on social media,” he wrote.
“And stop having sex in the bushes while driving, and even having sex in the car. She really needs to grow up. Good luck to you.”
The ex-lovers have been serving their followers with quite a show since their split a few months back.
However, to set the record straight, the Sierra Leonian insists he’s moved on and is not in any way jealous of his ex-lover.
“That is nothing to be proud of by the way. I have been there dear I am not jealous by the way. I have moved on just to clear the air,” he added.
Not the one to take a jab lying done, the socialite has responded by taking it to her Instagram stories to declare; “if we date, we doing quickies everywhere.”
The basketball star a few weeks after breaking up with Amber Ray opened up about his brief relationship with the socialite saying he would not have dated her had he known the kind of woman she is.
It followed claims he abused her physically which he denied.
According to Kabba, they had a small altercation at a club that appeared as though he had gotten violent with his ex-girlfriend which was not the case.
Explaining what happened in the viral video, Kabba said, “I feel like I went there for you and then all over sudden you don’t want to leave, I took her phone, I ended up giving her back the phone, I know what I did was wrong but I wanted to fix things. I sent the video to my friends, as proof that I never hit Amber Ray. I would never hit a woman.”
Amber Ray has previously dated Nairobi businessman Jimal Rohosafi and that also didn’t end well. | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/amber-ray-ex-boyfriend-in-sex-in-the-bush-beef/ | 2022-06-02T09:48:57Z | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/amber-ray-ex-boyfriend-in-sex-in-the-bush-beef/ | false | 1 |
Now that summer vacation is coming up, I want to plan some little trips. Not everyone in the family is going to want to do the same things. How do I manage that so I can have a relaxing time and not just worry about making everyone in my family happy?
—Summer Fun
Dear Summer Fun,
I love this question! There is nothing I love more than a family vacation! I see family vacations as a time to explore the things that my kids and I are interested in.
Some of my family’s interests are traveling, food, meeting new people, and exploring different cultures, so those things have informed our family vacations. My three kids and I have traveled on four-hour long bus rides through China, 12-hour long train rides in Asia, long haul flights across continents and oceans, cross-country road trips, boats across seas, bike rides, and inner-city trips (and that’s not even everything!). I have been stopped countless times on these travels by people asking me how we all seem so peaceful. The key has been what my bass player in one of my bands used to say: “There’s no ‘I’ in Team.” I believe that adding WE to the planning of anything with more than one person brings more “Wheee!” to the event.
Growing up, I rarely went on family vacations. When we did, it was whatever my mother wanted to do. I felt like an extra piece of luggage that my mother had to bring along. That experience informed me and changed me. From the time my kids were little, I always included them in the planning to:
1) Give them a sense of empowerment
2) Let them know that their opinions counted
I always start planning a trip by buying maps. I know, so old-fashioned! But I think it brings a sense of tangible reality to an adventure and begins unfolding the unknown into the known. From there, I start to share with my kids some things I know about the place we are going to — or if I don’t know anything, we go to the internet and start exploring. Once we have more info, I ask them what they’re interested in doing. For example, when we went to Japan, my son (who was four at the time) heard that the fastest train in the world, the bullet train, was there, so I made that part of our journey. We took that train from Tokyo to Kyoto. I might never have even thought of that if not for him.
So, if you are planning on taking some little trips, I would suggest having a family meeting and presenting the idea to everyone. Ask questions like: What are some things that you would love to do on the trip? What goals would you like to achieve on the trip — Eat something you’ve never eaten before…Try to hold your breath underwater for one minute…Build a giant sandcastle…Go through 10 drive-throughs? Not every request has to be filled, but having open minds to other people’s needs already starts creating the harmony needed for everyone to have a good time.
As for making sure everyone is happy, I have taught my kids through example that group happiness is more important than individual happiness. Good relationships always require a give-and-take — sometimes you’re the one giving, and sometimes you’re the one taking. For instance, when my kids were small and on a family vacation, I had to give up my want of walking around a new city for hours, because that wasn’t good for the greater good. I mean, who wants tired, cranky kids? Instead, I found a way to fulfill my want by paring down my exploration to a two-block radius, having a great coffee, and finding an amazing playground in every place we have ever visited.
As my kids got a little older and were able to explore more, I could use things I knew they loved to get them excited about going on trips. One year, we traveled by car all over Italy, and I told the kids the goal was to find the best ice cream. I got to see the country’s amazing sites, all under the guise of seeking out great gelato.
From a more practical perspective, it’s important to be accepting of where you are. Being a parent is a full-time job—there’s no summer break from that. You will still have to feed, guide, and help your kids. Some of my relaxation now comes from simple things like not cooking. In my vacation spending plan, I budget money for eating out twice a day so someone else can cook and clean up for me. During the summer of 2020, when COVID-19 had its first hold on us, I took the kids to a simple water park that had a motel connected to it. It wasn’t MY dream vacation, but I felt relaxed being in a place where the kids could let go and have some fun. It turned out this waterpark had a trapeze and zipline park attached, and I had a ball there! I wouldn’t have had that experience had I not been open to the greater good of the group.
By taking the time to include my children in vacation planning, I have created a very team-oriented family without even trying. Now that they are 16, 14, and 9, the idea that we can all get our needs met is something natural for all of us. This summer, we will be taking a trip to explore the Pacific Northwest because my eldest will be spending a few months there for school. It was a natural progression — her solo exploration gave rise to our group exploration.
Taking the time to enjoy and invest in a family vacation is like planting oak trees. In 30 years, when your kids are big, you will all be able to rest among the beautiful memories. For me, that is the most relaxing thing I can imagine. | https://www.anchoragepress.com/columnists/family-vacations/article_603e3c32-e1e1-11ec-951e-e3998d670590.html | 2022-06-02T09:54:51Z | https://www.anchoragepress.com/columnists/family-vacations/article_603e3c32-e1e1-11ec-951e-e3998d670590.html | false | 1 |

LODI, Calif., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday May 31st the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley, in conjunction with Michael David Winery, released seven baby barn owls in a vineyard owned by the winery in Lodi, CA.
The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley inquired with Michael David staff about releasing the barn owls in Lodi as they were thought to have originally come from the area. Earlier in the year, a truck driver delivered the baby owls to a feed store in San Jose after finding them in a load of hay and suspected they were from his pickup between Lodi and Stockton. The Wildlife Center rehabilitated the owls to a point of release and wanted to place them in their natural habitat.
"After a rough start, we are thrilled to see these seven barn owls return to their natural environment," says Ashley Kinney, Hospital Manager for the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley. "We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to release these owls in a beautiful vineyard property where there is access to plentiful food, water and shelter. We wish these owls nothing but the best of luck!"
As a partner in the Lodi Rules program for sustainable wine growing and stewards of the land, Michael David Winery knows wildlife is an integral part of the ecosystem and was thrilled to be able to offer a home for the juvenile barn owls. As an added bonus, barn owls are a great form of natural pest control for vineyard loving rodents and would make great inhabitants of owl boxes already set in the vineyards.
To see the release of these owls in action, check out Michael David Winery's Instagram page @michaeldavidwinery. For more information on the Lodi Rules for sustainable wine growing please visit www.michaeldavidwinery.com/lodi. For more information on the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley, please visit their website at https://wcsv.org/.
Michael David Winery, producers of brands such as Freakshow, Petite Petit and Earthquake, is owned by brothers Michael and David Phillips who together have built their Lodi business into one of the fastest growing wineries in the United States. The Phillips brothers produced their first commercial wine in 1984 under the Phillips Vineyards label after years of growing grapes for other wineries. Now celebrating more than 37 years as a bonded winery, Michael David Winery has over 900 acres of vineyards in the Lodi Appellation. Located one mile east of Interstate 5 on HWY 12 in Lodi, CA, Michael David wines regularly take top awards and gain recognition nationwide.

New Australian government includes record 13 women ministers
"Proud to lead an inclusive government that is as diverse as Australia itself," Albanese wrote on Twitter. "Welcome to all these new Labor members."

CANBERRA: A record 13 women, including the first female Muslim, were sworn in as ministers in Australia's new government on Wednesday.
The ceremony conducted by Governor-General David Hurley in the capital, Canberra, came 11 days after new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese led the center-left Labor Party to an election victory over the incumbent conservatives.
"Proud to lead an inclusive government that is as diverse as Australia itself," Albanese wrote on Twitter. "Welcome to all these new Labor members."
Anne Aly was sworn in as Australia's first female Muslim minister while Ed Husic became the first Muslim to serve in Cabinet. Linda Burney became the first woman, and only the second Indigenous person, to serve as Indigenous Affairs minister.
Today I announced my new ministry. Tomorrow, we will go to Government House to be sworn in and start delivering on a better future. pic.twitter.com/34TWSyHBHk
— Anthony Albanese (@AlboMP) May 31, 2022
Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong were sworn in early last week so they could fly to Tokyo for a summit with President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Of the 30 ministers appointed to the new government, nearly half are women. Women also hold a record 10 spots out of 23 in core Cabinet roles. With some votes still to be counted from last month's election, the Labor Party has secured enough seats to hold an outright majority in the 150-seat House.
Albanese's Cabinet includes some new faces as well as some lawmakers who served in the previous Labor government that last held power nine years ago.
"We have an overflow of talent on our side of the parliament," Albanese said, adding that "it's the most experienced incoming Labor government in our history since federation."
Albanese has been getting support from an unusual source: British singer-songwriter Billy Bragg.

Bragg wrote on Twitter that he'd awoken to find that "the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference." Bragg went on to say he wasn't surprised as he's been friends with Albanese for more than 20 years after they met at a theater in Sydney and bonded over a shared love of music and compassionate politics.
"The challenges he faces are daunting and I don't envy him his success," Bragg wrote. "Some of us just sing about making the world a better place " he now has the responsibility of delivering on that promise. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/jun/01/new-australian-government-includes-record-13-women-ministers-2460502.html | 2022-06-02T10:09:58Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/jun/01/new-australian-government-includes-record-13-women-ministers-2460502.html | true | 3 |
Galabat — Renewed violent cross-border banditry by Ethiopian gunmen, referred to as shifta in the region, are reported from Galabat where Ethiopia borders Sudan's El Gedaref state. In the latest reports, police found the lifeless body of Hasan Yaqoub (75) who worked at a kiln as a charcoal burner. They say that he was shot in the left eye, and his right hand had been severed.
On Saturday, a group of shifta reportedly penetrated Sudanese territory in the area, seized an agricultural tractor with its trailer, abducted its driver Idris Mohamed, and fled into Ethiopian territory.
The past weeks have seen an increase in such cross-border incidents, which prompted Sudanese authorities to close the crossing between Galabat in Sudan's El Gedaref and Metema in northern Ethiopia last week.
El Jamri El Taher told Radio Dabanga that the movement of all people and goods between El Gedaref and Metema has completely stopped due to the closure of the border post by Sudanese authorities.
With the approach of the autumn season, he predicts an increase in the number and frequency of the shifta attacks "aimed at impeding the work of farmers".
He referred to continuous public demands to intensify military presence and patrol the border strip, in addition to continuing to close the crossing until the attacks are resolved.
The shifta regularly conduct violent cross-border raids to steal crops and livestock, or kidnap people for ransom.
The 1,600 kilometre border between Sudan and Ethiopia was drawn in colonial times. No clear demarcation of the border has been made since the country became independent in 1956. The lack of clear border markers has made it easy for Ethiopian militants to occupy fertile farmlands in eastern El Gedaref.
Ethiopian farmers have been cultivating crops for decades along the border. The lands are protected by Ethiopian gunmen. Farmers in El Fashaga and the El Gedaref governor have demanded that these lands be returned to them. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206020090.html | 2022-06-02T10:13:02Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202206020090.html | false | 1 |

Daniel Ricciardo's personality questioned by F1 legend amid McLaren sack rumours
DANIEL RICCIARDO is facing the pressure at McLaren after a difficult start to the new season.
Daniel Ricciardo's personality has been questioned by former Australian F1 star Alan Jones, warning ‘nice guys don't get anywhere’. The 1980 world champion claimed drivers are better off the bigger a ‘d*ck they are’ which is not the case for Ricciardo.
He warned Ricciardo's future at McLaren is under severe threat and stressed he will not be at the team for ‘too much longer' if results don’t soon improve. Speaking to Australia's Herald Sun, Jones said: “[His McLaren future] is questionable at the moment.
“Unless he makes a few improvements, quick smart, I really can’t see him being there for too much longer to be honest. A contract in Formula One doesn’t mean much… but if the situation remains the same as it is I have no doubt in my mind they will exercise one of those options that are in the contract.
“He is a great little race driver and he is a hell of a nice guy but, of course, we all know nice guys don’t get anywhere, particularly in Formula One. The biggest d*ck you are, the better off you are. There are a few out there at the moment that have proved that.”

Ricciardo has been unable to match the results of team-mate Lando Norris since joining the team at the start of last season. The former Red Bull star has scored just 11 points this season compared to Norris’ 48.
Ricciardo has only beaten Norris twice this season and has only scored one podium in a year and a half where the Briton has secured five. McLaren boss Zak Brown increased the pressure on Ricciardo ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, suggesting the Australian had not met the team’s expectations.
Brown explained: "Lando definitely has an edge. Obviously, we would like to see Daniel much closer to Lando and have a good intra-team battle… Short of kind of Monza and a few races, it’s generally not kind of met his or our expectations.”

However, 32-year-old Ricciardo accepted the remarks, claiming Brown’s comments were ‘pretty true’. He accepted his Mclaren career had seemed ‘more testing at times’ but stressed the team were ‘working through’ the issues as best they could.
Last year, Ricciardo admitted he signed a three-year deal with the squad meaning his current deal runs out at the end of the 2023 season. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1619753/daniel-ricciardo-mclaren-sack-rumours-retirement-alan-jones | 2022-06-02T10:14:12Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1619753/daniel-ricciardo-mclaren-sack-rumours-retirement-alan-jones | false | 1 |
Kim Petras has covered Kate Bush‘s ‘Running Up That Hill’ to celebrate the start of Pride Month – check out the cover below.
In a statement about the cover, recorded for Amazon Music, Petras joked that “my timing for this was strangely perfect!” – ‘Running Up That Hill’ has gone viral this week after soundtracking various scenes in season four of Stranger Things, which debuted on Netflix on Friday (May 27).
“I have always been obsessed with ‘Running Up That Hill’,” Petras said in a statement about why she chose to cover the song.
“It means so much and it’s so elusive. You can definitely decide what you want it to mean. For me, it’s about equality. And my timing for this was strangely perfect!”
Listen to the cover below.
Streams of ‘Running Up That Hill’ have increased by 153 per cent following the song’s appearance on the latest season of Stranger Things.
Bush’s song features in the first episode of the new show and then prominently in some of the episodes thereafter via key moments involving the character Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink).
The song, taken from Bush’s album ‘Hounds of Love’, overtook ‘Wuthering Heights’ on Spotify to become her most popular title on the service after it experienced a 153 per cent surge in streams on Spotify. It was described as “the biggest gainer on the Global Spotify chart” by the streaming giants.
The first part of the full soundtrack was released on May 27. The second volume of the season, and the second part of the soundtrack, will arrive on July 1.
As well as Bush, the first part of the collection features tracks from artists including Journey, Talking Heads and The Cramps.
‘The Complete Stranger Things: Soundtrack From The Netflix Series, Season 4’ (including Volume I and Volume II) will be available to buy on CD and cassette from September 9 and can be pre-ordered here. 2LP 12″ vinyl pressings of the album are also slated for release later this year. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/listen-to-kim-petras-cover-of-kate-bushs-running-up-that-hill-3238956 | 2022-06-02T10:15:14Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/listen-to-kim-petras-cover-of-kate-bushs-running-up-that-hill-3238956 | true | 3 |

STOCKHOLM (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday warned that the Ukraine war is diverting attention away from climate change, while at the same time showcasing the world’s “suicidal” dependence on fossil fuels.
Speaking ahead of an environmental conference in Stockholm, Guterres said the scale of the conflict has “inevitably” shifted the focus from other issues, including efforts to halt the global temperature rise.
“The sense of urgency in the debate on climate has of course suffered with the war in Ukraine,” Guterres told reporters at the Swedish prime minister’s official residence. “But I think this war has demonstrated one thing: How fragile is the world in its dependence on fossil fuels.”
He pointed to decisions by the European Union this week to stop most imports of Russian oil as part of sanctions imposed after the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. The conflict has underscored how dependent many European countries are on Russian oil and gas.
“So it’s time to learn the lesson,” Guterres said. “If we do not want again to be in the same situation we are today we need to make a clear bet: massive investment in renewable energy and clear understanding that the dependence on fossil fuels is a suicidal one.”
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson noted that before the Ukraine war the world was grappling with other crises including the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have to be able to handle all these crises at the same time,” she said. “When we come together we can achieve fantastic things together.”
Guterres was in Stockholm to attend a two-day conference starting Thursday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in the same city in 1972. That event was the starting point for U.N. efforts to promote global environmental action and led to the creation of the U.N. Environmental Program. | https://www.wlns.com/news/international/ap-international/un-chief-worries-ukraine-war-overshadowing-climate-fight/ | 2022-06-02T10:23:59Z | https://www.wlns.com/news/international/ap-international/un-chief-worries-ukraine-war-overshadowing-climate-fight/ | false | 31 |

I-95/I-16 interchange planned to be complete this year
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Are you getting sick of the construction on I-95 and I-16? Good news, we are heading into the final phases of the massive project.
WTOC was able to get an exclusive look and update on the project at the construction site. The Georgia DOT says you will be able to drive on the new half turbine interchange by the end of this year. The $317 million project is still on budget.
The project will also include new collector-distributor lanes so there is no more of that merging on and off of the ramps.
The interchange will be the first portion of the project to open. The new lanes on I-16 going from I-95 to 516 will take longer to complete, they are still working on adding additional lanes to make 3 lanes in each direction.
They anticipate all new lanes along I-16 will be open by the end of 2023, of course all of this is weather dependent, especially as we are now in hurricane season.
“That is a daily concern of ours with weather and getting our folks out from the coast if that is necessary so that would certainly slow down things in regards to construction but there is a plan in place to get our folks evacuated from the coast if need be and back in,” said Ann Purcell, the Georgia DOT 1st Congressional District Board Member.
As a part of the project, G-DOT is rebuilding several bridges along I-16. The DOT have announced a new long term closure on a portion of Tremont Road between Telfair Road and Safety First Road. Weather depending, they plan to shut it down tomorrow and will remain closed for about a year, until May 31 of 2023.
As work gets complete they plan to open up as many portions as possible, the very first one is the interchange at I-16 and 95 but until then, take it slow in those construction zones and be prepared for those lane closures to continue.
Here is a full list of closures this week:

Current household, corporate debt at about 80% of 2021’s real GDP – Expert
Credit extended to the private sector in Namibia grew by 3.8% year/year in April, compared to 2.1% year/year in March, rising above its 6-month moving average of 2.2%, an expert said this week.
This is the largest monthly annual increase recorded since April 2020, which recorded 3.7% y/y, the investment research firm, Simonis Storm Securities (SSS), Economist Theo Klein said in a Private Sector Credit Extension report for April 2022.
“Net household debt increased by 2.2% y/y in April and remains on a declining trend since the start of 2022. Net corporate debt increased by 5.9% y/y in April, compared to 1.9% y/y in March 2022,” he said.
According to Klein, this was the highest monthly annual increase since June 2021.
“The rise in corporate credit was mainly from an increase in asset-backed credit facilities and other loans and advances by businesses in the commercial rental property, agricultural, transport and health service provider sectors according to Bank of Namibia (BoN),” he explained.
Meanwhile, current household and corporate debt is about 80% of 2021’s real GDP, which is fairly high compared to emerging market peers, he concluded. | https://economist.com.na/70743/markets/current-household-corporate-debt-at-about-80-of-2021s-real-gdp-expert/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=current-household-corporate-debt-at-about-80-of-2021s-real-gdp-expert | 2022-06-02T10:28:14Z | https://economist.com.na/70743/markets/current-household-corporate-debt-at-about-80-of-2021s-real-gdp-expert/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=current-household-corporate-debt-at-about-80-of-2021s-real-gdp-expert | false | 1 |
How does a dance writer from the Northeast end up fixated on a collegiate summer league baseball team from Savannah, Georgia?
A few months ago, a video of a baseball coach dancing to “Waltz of the Flowers” — concluding with a virtuosic series of pirouettes — showed up in my Twitter feed. Before long, I started seeing choreographed content from the team on TikTok: an umpire doing ’N Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” dance after calling a strikeout. A batter “hitting the Quan” before scoring a base hit. A pitcher, second baseman, shortstop and center fielder dancing the “Cool for the Summer” TikTok challenge during an at-bat. And there was more ballet.

19 Luxurious Father’s Day Gifts for the Dad Who Has Everything
Click here to read the full article.
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Robb Report may receive an affiliate commission.
If you’re trying to find the best Father’s Day gift for the hardworking dad on your shopping list, you should reach for the kinds of luxuries that’ll make his life a little easier, a little more pleasant or both. After all, being a parent is no easy task, so anything you can do the ease the rigor of daily life—or smooth over the rough edges of the reality of raising kids—should be a welcome addition to his roster of favorite products. To help in your search, we’ve assembled a group of well-made items that almost any dad would enjoy. From a delicious lobster roll kit to a whiskey decanter he’ll have for years to come, you’ll find some of the year’s best Father’s Day gifts below.
Montblanc Explorer Fragrance
Most dads are too busy with the work of fatherhood to find a different fragrance for every occasion. Montblanc Explorer is the rare scent that works in a variety of settings from the office to a soccer game to a formal affair after hours. With its crowd-pleasing notes of bergamot, vetiver and patchouli leaf, it develops from bright and citrusy and settles into a grounded amber zone during its considerable wear time. It’s almost as hardworking as the guys who wear it—almost.
Yeti Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler
If your dad likes to bring a cold one—or a cold few—to the beach or on a hike, this backpack cooler is a great option. It’ll keep plenty of drinks, from water to pale ales, at refreshing temperatures for hours. Even better, its straps and construction will keep dad’s hands free to deal with whatever the great outdoors may throw his way.
The Dalmore 18 Year Old
This Father’s Day, give the exceptional gift of The Dalmore. The 18 Year Old is a magnificent whisky that has been meticulously handcrafted by the company’s Master Distiller and his team of artisans. This whisky begins its maturation journey in American white oak ex-Bourbon Barrels and is further aged in rare 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is a whisky of unprecedented depth and finesse, a masterpiece in the making.
Baccarat Harmonie Whiskey Decanter
Of course, what’s a delicious whiskey without a stunning place to put it? Baccarat’s Harmonie decanter comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, but we prefer the squared edges of this model, which give it an elegant look on your bar cart and heft in the hand that makes it feel like a luxury to touch. Your dad may run out of the whiskey, but he’ll think of the drinks you shared every time he sees this decanter.
Luke’s Lobster Lobster Roll Kit
Nothing says summer quite like a lobster roll. If you can’t take your dad to Maine for the freshest take on the classic sandwich, have it delivered. Luke’s Lobster will send enough buns, lobster meat and classic seasoning to feed four people—or you and your dad can just have two each.
Technivorm Moccamaster
The Techniform Moccamaster’s classic ’60s design isn’t its only great selling point. The Specialty Coffee Association of America places the machine high on its list of certified homebrewers because it produces a great-tasting pot of joe every time. If your dad needs an extra boost of energy every morning, he’ll appreciate the consistent excellence.
Coravin Pivot Plus
The original Coravin device can extract a glass of wine from a vaunted bottle and preserve the rest of its contents indefinitely. Its newer Pivot Plus model is designed to keep bottles fresh for up to four weeks, so it’s better for less precious wines that your dad still may only want to have a glass of occasionally.
London Sock Co. Set of 6
If your dad has socks that are older than you are, it’s well past time for an upgrade. This set of six pairs of socks will have him covered for most of the week. You can even keep his sock drawer stocked with fresh pairs with the brand’s subscription service.
Lahgo Washable Silk Sleep Mask
Sleep is important for everyone, but especially for hardworking parents. Help your dad get into his REM cycle faster with this luxe silk sleeping mask.
Tonal
If the dad on your list can’t make it to the gym as regularly as he’d like, bring the gym to him. Tonal’s smart gym is the only one on the market that makes strength work a priority over cardiovascular exercise, and it offers everything from HIIT workouts to golf-centric workouts and live classes. Its future-proof construction means it can add features and workouts regularly, so it’ll keep challenging your dad long after his first session.
Muhle Rytmo Shaving Set
If your dad likes a clean shave, there’s no better way to deliver it than with a classic double-edged safety razor set. This one from the German brand Muhle includes a razor, brush, soap dish and a stand that’ll keep it all neatly tucked away.
Jaxon Lane Bro Masks
Dads who like to wear their facial hair in a variety of ways, from stubble to full James Harden, can be a little harder to shop for. Jaxon Lane’s fan-favorite hydrating face masks come in two parts: one for the forehead, nose and cheeks, and another for everything below your nostrils. That means that no matter what’s going on with his hair, your dad will always be able to give his skin the boost it needs.
Material Table Knives
Serrated steak knives are great—until they start to lose their edge. If your dad likes making and serving the occasional porterhouse or rib-eye at home, he may prefer Material’s relatively new table knives, whose straight edges will be a lot easier to sharpen and maintain over the long haul.
Evermill Spice Rack
Speaking of the kitchen, a surefire way to help your dad get the most out of homemade meals is to make sure he never runs out of spices. Evermill’s well-designed spice rack (which also comes in an in-drawer version) will help him do just that. If he ever notices that he’s running low on cumin or paprika, a replacement is just a few clicks away.
Ghurka Bag
If you’re shopping for a jet-setter, the next best thing to actual private plane time is a piece of luggage that will look great and stand up to a lot of mileage. Ghurka’s sturdy canvas duffel will carry everything your dad needs for a long weekend in classic style.
Mr Porter x Cubitt’s Sunglasses
Mr P.’s new collaboration with the London-based brand Cubitt’s is filled with updated takes on classic shades. This classic D-shaped frame looks hefty, but its acetate material keeps things lightweight.
ST Dupont Lighter
Even if your dad has given up smoking, there are plenty of reasons he’ll appreciate an attractive lighter. From lighting candles and incense sticks to burning the odd flyaways off his favorite jacket, this beautiful take on the classic can do it all.
DS & Durga Auto Fragrance Set
A tree-shaped gas station car air freshener isn’t a gift, it’s a cry for help. But these stylish auto fragrances from DS & Durga bring the Brooklyn brand’s high-end scents to the car collecting dad’s favorite space.
Olive Oil and Aged Balsamic Vinegar Set
Dads who like to grill are already well equipped with the tools they need for backyard barbecues. Help him add a little extra flavor to what he’s cooking up with this set of delicious olive oil and thick, aged balsamic vinegar.

Charlotte, North Carolina, June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XCPCNL Business Services Corporation (OTC Pink: XCPL), a venture development business that leverages knowledge, skill, and experience in the consumer products industry, is honored to welcome JoJo Brim to its Advisory Board.
Brim currently serves as CEO of Playbook Ent a management and artist development firm. Over the span of two decades, as a manager and A&R Executive, Brim has broken some of the industry’s most relevant artist.
The music industry vet has had his finger on the pulse of a breakthrough artist over the course of his three decades in the business. As a producer, A&R and manger and music executive, Brim has worked with Trey Songz, Big Sean, London On the Da Track, Musiq Soulchild, Atlantic Records, 300e, Epic Records, Tyler Perry, LL Cool J and Montell Jordan and more.
Joseph “Jojo” Brim is known for having his artists go within and tap into their own truths to create music that connects with what speaks to their soul.
“The ghosts, the spirits of the past … the session don’t start until the spirits enter the room,” says the CEO of Playbook Ent
“There is nothing new under the sun, so I encourage my artists to tap into the higher vibration and call in the ghosts!” he adds with conviction. “I’m making music and art for people who love people.”
Brim cites those records as “pivotal” for his career and cuts that still resonate with the culture today.
Along the way, Brim has worked with and soaked up game from revered music industry pioneers and game changers such as Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, L.A. Reid, Kevin Liles, Al B. Sure! and the late, great Andre Harrell.
The gems that they’ve imparted are still entrenched in the soul of his fibers.
Brim’s curiosity with music seriously sparked as a freshman in high school, where the Mount Vernon, New York native shared a shop class with none other than Heavy D, a junior at the time.
Brim wound up meeting another Mount Vernon native in DJ Eddie F from Heavy D & the Boyz and through those same inroads Al B. Sure! thereafter, even tagging along to the latter’s meetings at Uptown Records.
“I would go into the meetings and Andre Harrell would allow me to stay, listen and soak up game,” he says. “I’m watching Benny Medina, who signed Prince seven years earlier, I’m with Al B Sure! and he’s on the phone with Quincy Jones.
As an apprentice producer under Al B Sure! And Kyle West, Brim learned first hand the art of production and songwriting. Having been present for classic studio sessions such as Tevin Campbell’s “Goodbye” and the making of Jodeci’s timeless classic, “Forever My Lady”, JoJo was essentially getting a master class in producing and A&R.
Nineteen with two kids at the time, Brim felt compelled to learn producing himself and so he did.
“When [Al B. Sure!] was asleep, I would go on his SP-12 and I would make beats,” Brim says, “and before he came downstairs, I would save the disc and put it to the side.”
Just like that, Brim generated a reputation as the kid who’s down with Al B. and making these records, while also having an ear and eye for the business.
His big break came when he was asked by burgeoning producer and Mount Vernon native Kenny Smoove to help A&R Case’s debut album “Case” which yielded the smash hit “Touch Me, Tease Me” featuring Mary J Blige and Foxy Brown. Till this day Brim cites in 1996 the record as a “life-changing moment.”
Fresh off the heels of Touch Me Tease, JoJo was hired by Lyor Cohen at the behest of then Def Jam Records marketing executive Julie Greenwald, to help revamp the A&R team.
The instant hiring paved the way for Brim being the VP of A&R and executive producer for Def Soul, the R&B division of Def Jam from 1996 to 2004. This era was considered by many to be the golden age of Def Jam. Witch the support of a stellar marketing and promo team behind him, As an executive producer Brim was responsible for multiple gold and platinum projects and generated over 100m in sales.
In 2005, Jojo joined the newly revamped Atlantic Records team where he quickly found platinum and gold success with Musiq Soulchild, Tyler Perry, Brian McKnight and the late great Gerald Levert.
Inspired by changing trends in the business, Kevin Liles decided to leave Warner Music Group and offered JoJo the opportunity to be a founding employee of KWL Management, where Liles tasked him with day-to-day management duties of an artist on the verge of superstardom in Trey Songz. Jojo wasted no time in building KWL, quickly signing another talented but regionally known artist to management — Big Sean.
KWL grew fast and furiously and that success led Brim to the office of Reid, who was restarting Epic Records at the time.
Although the gig lasted only one year, Jojo learned valuable game and insight from Reid and took that newfound savvy into the music-based tech world, where he began to consult upstart tech companies looking to break into the entertainment space.
“I did not see a lot of black and brown people in positions of power in the tech world, which to me was an opportunity,” Brim says. “Andre Harrell used to say ‘Find a void in the market, place and fill it.’ It just so happened that I was the void.”
After taking a few companies to market, Jojo jumped on the radar of Steve Renner, chairman of ADX Labs, a tech company from Minneapolis that was looking to get into music via an app called MyMy Music. After a year of consulting, the company went through a radical shift and Brim was named CEO of what would turn into VME (Virtual Media Entertainment), a music-based tech company that offers recording, management, and artist services that all exist on the technologies offered by ADX Labs and powered by Playbook Ent.
“Our company is set on creating new trends, searching for unique opportunities, and tapping into unexplored areas. We are here to make noise and make an impact on urban communities. When it comes to music, if there’s anyone qualified to lead a new era of buzzworthy artists, it’s JoJo,” said CEO Tim Matthews.

Reacting sharply to Imran Khan’s comments about “breaking Pakistan into three pieces”, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said the former premier was “unfit for public office”.
The prime minister, who is currently on a visit to Turkey, accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supremo of “making naked threats against the country”, and warned his predecessor against “talking about [the] division of Pakistan”.
“While I am in Turkey inking agreements, Imran Niazi is making naked threats against the country. If at all any proof was needed that Niazi is unfit for public office, his latest interview suffices,” the prime minister tweeted.
“Do your politics but don’t dare to cross limits and talk about [the] division of Pakistan,” he warned the PTI chairperson in his tweet.
The latest comments by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) PM on Twitter referred to a Wednesday night interview of Khan with a private news organisation “Bol News” where the PTI chief urged the establishment to make the “right decisions” and warned that if Pakistan were to lose its nuclear deterrence, it would fragment into “three pieces”.
The cricketer-turned-politician also said the current political situation was a problem for the country as well as the establishment.
“If the establishment doesn’t make the right decisions then I can assure [you] in writing that [before everyone else] they and the army will be destroyed because what will become of the country if it goes bankrupt,” he said.
“Pakistan is going towards a default. If that happens then which institution will be [worst] hit? The army. After it is hit, what concession will be taken from us? Denuclearisation,” he said, adding that the country was “going towards a suicide” and that the government needed to make the “right decisions”.
In a separate statement shared on the PML-N’s Twitter handle, Shehbaz Sharif was quoted as saying that Khan’s remarks were proof that the PTI chief was “involved in a conspiracy, not politics”.
“This is not a statement but a conspiracy to spark the fire of anarchy and division in the country,” Sharif was quoted as saying in the PML-N tweet.
“Imran Khan’s statements are an attack on the Constitution, institutions, the Armed Forces of Pakistan and the Supreme Court,” the PML-N tweeted, adding that the comments reflected the former prime minister’s “sick mentality”.
Earlier, condemning Khan’s remarks, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari said: “Imran Khan, power is not everything in this world. Be brave and learn to do politics standing on your own feet,” PPP’s twitter handle quoted Zardari as telling the PTI chief, adding that the wish of “dividing” Pakistan could not be realised “until we and our future generations live”.
The former premier in the interview warned that once Pakistan is destroyed, it will default, and the international world will ask the country to move towards denuclearisation — as Ukraine did in the 1990s.
Khan, who came to power in 2018, reportedly with the backing of the military, is the only Pakistani prime minister to be ousted in a no-confidence vote in parliament. He was replaced by PML-N’s Shehbaz Sharif. | https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/pakistan-pm-warns-imran-khan-against-naked-threats-of-breaking-pakistan-into-three/2546546/ | 2022-06-02T10:54:10Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/world-news/pakistan-pm-warns-imran-khan-against-naked-threats-of-breaking-pakistan-into-three/2546546/ | true | 1 |
These are the provinces where more people are unemployed than working
While SA's unemployment rate may have seen an overall decline for the first time in almost two years, several provinces recorded expanded unemployment rates above 50%.
The latest Stats SA data, released on Wednesday, showed the unemployment rate declined from a record high of 35.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 34.5% in the first quarter of 2022.
This comes after the manufacturing and mining sectors added jobs and government employed more people through its public works programme.
It is the first drop since the second quarter of 2020, when job seekers were hindered by the lockdowns to slow the spread of Covid-19.
According to the latest data, an estimated 370,000 jobs were gained between the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.
The biggest job gains were recorded in community and social services, manufacturing and trade.
However, despite the 0.8% decrease, data showed the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal recorded expanded unemployment rates higher than 50%.
The four provinces also had a more than 15% point difference between expanded and official unemployment rates.
.
“Black women are the most vulnerable, with an unemployment rate of 40.6% in Q1 of 2022. This is 4.1 percentage points higher than the national average for women at 36.4%.
“About 3.8-million (37%) out of 10.2-million young people aged 15-24 were not in employment, education or training (NEET). The overall NEET rate increased by 4.6% in Q1 of 2022 compared to Q1 of 2021.”
In a statement, employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi expressed cautious optimism despite the marginal decline in the official unemployment rate.
The marginal decrease in unemployment was still “stubbornly high”.
He said the SA economy needed resilient and sustained economic growth.
“The department, through the Unemployment Insurance Fund’s Labour Activation Programme (LAP), has taken a strategic direction that training of the unemployed should be demand-led and lead to employment at the end of the training period,” said Nxesi.

England captain Ben Stokes shows support to ill Graham Thorpe
Last updated on .From the section Cricket
Captain Ben Stokes wore a special England shirt in support of Graham Thorpe at the toss for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.
In May, the Professional Cricketers' Association said that former England and Surrey batter Thorpe, 52, was "seriously ill" in hospital.
Stokes' shirt had Thorpe's name and capped number 564 on the back.
"We're supporting him, his wife, kids and all his family and friends through this tough time," said Stokes.
Left-handed middle-order batter Thorpe played 100 Tests for England between 1993 and 2005, averaging 44.66. He also played 82 one-day internationals.
He was England men's assistant coach until February, but left the role following the 4-0 Ashes defeat by Australia and was appointed head coach of Afghanistan's men's team in March.
"Everybody is aware that Thorpey is very unwell. We all love Thorpey and he means a hell of a lot to us," added Stokes.
"I've spoken with his wife Amanda. She's been grateful and thankful for the respect and privacy the family have received." | https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/61672907 | 2022-06-02T10:59:04Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/61672907 | true | 3 |
In May, active inventory increased year-over-year (+8.0%) for the first time in nearly three years, but remained 48.5% lower than at the start of the pandemic
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New data suggests the U.S. housing market hit a turning point in its supply struggle in May, as active inventory recorded the first year-over-year increase since June 2019, according to the Realtor.com® Monthly Housing Trends Report released today. At the same time, the median national home price soared to an all-time high of $447,000 and buyers snatched up listings a week faster than last year.
"Among key factors fueling the inventory comeback are new sellers, who are listing homes at a rate not seen since 2019, as well as moderating demand, with pending listings declining year-over-year in May," said Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for Realtor.com. "While this real estate refresh is welcome news in a still-undersupplied market, it has yet to make a dent in home price growth, partially due to increases in newly-listed, larger homes and because the typical seller outlook is quite high, likely shaped by recent experiences of homeowners who sold. Importantly, as 72% of this year's sellers also plan to purchase a home, seller expectations will likely start to reflect buyers' needs. In an early sign, the rate of sellers making price cuts accelerated in May."
May 2022 Housing Metrics – National
The U.S. inventory of active listings grew year-over-year for the first time since June 2019, with this comeback driven by two key trends. First, new listings reached the highest level of any month in nearly three years, as rising numbers of sellers might be more confident in pursuing plans to list than last Spring when COVID vaccines were just rolling out. Second, higher housing costs are spurring a moderation in buyer demand. This is reflected in May's bigger year-over-year declines in pending listings – those at various stages of the selling process that are not yet sold – compared to April, a sign of softening in the turnover rate of for-sale homes.
- Nationally, the number of active listings increased 8.0% year-over-year in May, but remained 48.5% below typical levels in May 2020 at the onset of COVID.
- Compared to last month's year-over-year changes, May's national data showed a significant improvement in the new listings trend (+6.3% vs. 1.3%) and a bigger decline in pending listings (-12.6% vs. -8.7%).
- Among May's new listings, the share of smaller homes (up to 1750 square feet) declined year-over-year (to 45.7% from 47.3%), while those with 1,750-plus square feet increased from 52.7% to 54.3%.
- On average in the 50 largest U.S. markets, active inventory grew by double-digits (+14.9%) over May 2021 levels, with the biggest increases in the West (+33.6%) and South (+18.3%), led by Austin, Texas (+85.8%), Phoenix (+67.1%) and Sacramento, Calif. (+54.6%). Active listings declined on a year-over-year basis in just 8 markets.
- Thirty markets posted annual gains in newly-listed homes, with the biggest increases registered in southern metros: Raleigh, N.C. (+27.9%), Nashville, Tenn. (+22.8%), and Las Vegas (+20.7%).
May's increase in for-sale home options combined with softening buyer demand would typically drive a cooldown in home prices, but data shows that is not yet the case. In fact, the yearly growth rate in the U.S. median listing price accelerated from last month's pace as the median listing price approached $450,000 after just crossing the $400,000 threshold in March. From asking prices per square foot to pending listing prices, May housing trends suggest that a few factors are potentially driving the continued home price surge. These include a rising share of newly-listed, larger homes by square footage and some sellers not yet adjusting to shifting supply and demand dynamics, including buyer interest in less expensive homes.
- The U.S. median listing price hit an all-time high of $447,000 in May, rising at a faster year-over-year pace (+17.6%) than last month (+14.2%). On a square foot basis, asking prices for active listings increased 16.2% over May 2021 levels.
- In a potential sign of softening buyer demand at the national level, the median listing price of a typical pending listing actually decelerated in May over April, to a yearly rate of 16.2% from 17.2%. Additionally, the national share of listings that had their price reduced jumped to 10.5% in May from 7.0% in April, but the rate remains well below typical pre-COVID levels.
- Active listing prices in the nation's largest metros grew by an average of 13.0% compared to last year in May, with the biggest gains recorded in Miami (+45.9%), Nashville (+32.5%), and Orlando, Fla. (+32.4%).
- In May, median listing prices were down year-over-year in just six large markets, which were: Pittsburgh (-10.5%), Rochester, N.Y. (-9.7%), Cincinnati (-9.6%), Cleveland (-2.3%), Detroit (-1.8%), and Buffalo, N.Y. (-1.2%).
Similar to norms one would expect to see in home price trends, the increase in for-sale home options combined with softening buyer demand would typically drive a deceleration in time on market. However, time on market data did not yet show this trend in May, as buyers snatched up listings more quickly than in any month in the Realtor.com® data history going back to July 2016 – a record that typically isn't hit until the Summer season. For some homebuyers who have yet to be priced out of the market but can't afford to compete by making a larger down payment, acting quickly might give them an edge.
- In May, the typical U.S. home spent 31 days on the market , a full week less (-6 days) than last year and down 27 days compared to typical May 2017 to 2019 timing.
- Across the 50 largest U.S. metros, the typical home spent 26 days on market, down six days year-over-year, with the biggest declines registered in the South (-7 days).
- At the market level, homes saw the greatest yearly decline in time spent on market in Miami (-28 days), followed by a three-way tie between Hartford, Conn., Seattle and San Jose, Calif. (-12 days).
- Just one market posted a year-over-year increase in time on market: Detroit (-1 day), where homes still moved at a close to record-fast pace.

MCALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos and city manager Roel Rodriguez hosted a roundtable of 11 Republican members of Congress on immigration.
Members of Congress joined a boat ride with the Department of Public Safety along the Rio Grande river to see the Trump-era border wall, said Republican congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia’s 1st district.
“Being at the wall and seeing the inconsistency there, with only 20 miles that’s been completed and the gaps in the wall, it really is discouraging,” said Carter.
Carter said the delegation observed how security is being enforced but believes taxpayer money is being wasted currently.
“Then we actually saw a stockyard that had excess materials leftover $300 million worth of materials just rusting and going to waste,” said Carter.
The visit came as a part of efforts from Mayor Villalobos to reform immigration law in anticipation of the public health mandate, Title 42’s, end.
“If they could pass some sort of immigration reform, we always talk about for example the dreamers, if both parties are supposedly in favor of it, then take care of it,” said Villalobos. “Set up different policies as far as asylum, because if the policies say right now answer one or two questions you’re in, I don’t think that’s proper.”
Villalobos added he welcomes any party representative to visit the border to learn about how immigration impacts the Rio Grande Valley.
Meanwhile, Congressman Carter said though his state is further away from the border, they still feel the impacts of immigration.
“These people are just passing through, and the drugs are just passing through, this is a big problem and it’s impacting all of our cities and all of our states,” said Carter. “It’s making every state a border state.” | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/mcallen-mayor-hosts-title-42-roundtable-with-republican-delegation/ | 2022-06-02T11:00:29Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/mcallen-mayor-hosts-title-42-roundtable-with-republican-delegation/ | true | 2 |
Swiss Market Ends On Weak Note
(RTTNews) - The Switzerland stock market retreated after a positive start Wednesday morning, and after moving along the unchanged line for a long time, slipped into the red in the final hour to eventually close on a weak note.
Worries about inflation and rising interest rates, and largely disappointing economic data from Europe, weighed on the market.
The benchmark SMI, which climbed to 11,692.66 at the start, ended the session with a loss of 117.26 points or 1.01% at 11,494.12, the day's low.
Partners Group declined 3.6%. Lonza Group and Sika both ended lower by about 2.4%. SGS shed about 2% and Nestle lost 1.6%, while Givaudan, Alcon, Roche Holding, Credit Suisse and Swiss Re lost 1 to 1.25%.
ABB, UBS Group and Swisscom ended modestly higher.
In the Mid Price Index, Tecan Group and Straumann Holding lost 5.47% and 5%, respectively. Sonova, Schindler Ps, Zur Rose, Bachem Holding, Kuehne & Nagel and Temenos Group closed lower by 2 to 2.6%.
On the economic front, a report from procure.ch and Credit Suisse said that the Manufacturing PMI for Switzerland fell to 60 in May of 2022 from 62.5 in the previous month, missing market expectations of 61.

Which Marvel T-shirts are best?
Marvel is more than countless series of comic books and different characters. It has grown into the enormous Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a vocal fanbase that loves to show their support for their favorite superheroes in their homes, social media and even their clothes. Why not have a Marvel T-shirt to show whose team you’re on?
What to know before you buy a Marvel T-shirt
Marvel vs. character merchandise
Searching for “Marvel T-shirt” will return two different types of options. There are thousands of T-shirts for Marvel superheroes, but there are also shirts featuring the Marvel Comics name and logo. If you’re looking for a specific character or movie, it’s best to add that name to your search terms to get faster results. Don’t be afraid to check out the Marvel merchandise either, as some shirts have creative interpretations of the Marvel logo.
Movie vs. comic shirts
The Marvel Cinematic Universe led to an influx of movie-related Marvel T-shirts. Those are the predominant type of Marvel T-shirts on the market, featuring the characters depicted in the movies or even art straight off the movie posters. However, there are still many T-shirts that utilize the comic book versions of popular Marvel characters like Deadpool and Captain America. If you prefer the comic look, you can normally find those T-shirts by going deeper into the search results.
Similar designs
It’s become an increasingly popular trend for retailers to sell the same Marvel T-shirt design on other clothing such as sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts and tank tops. These other items will use the same picture and often come in the same colors. Be careful when ordering to read the product title and make sure that you’re ordering a Marvel T-shirt and not another type of clothing.
What to look for in a quality Marvel T-shirt
Print quality
The most crucial aspect of any branded T-shirt is the print quality. Fans want a Marvel T-shirt with a print that is clear and not blurry. It should have bright colors and not fade after the first or second trip through the washer. The print also shouldn’t crack or peel with continued wear. Do not judge a shirt by the images included in the product listing. Read reviews to see if the print matches the stock photos and if it holds up or falls apart.
Print size
The size of the print on a Marvel T-shirt varies wildly. Some shirts have a small picture of the character in the middle or even as little as a movie’s logo. Others are full-size prints with lots of characters. Look for a T-shirt where the print takes up a majority of the available surface. A shirt with a bunch of blank space doesn’t have the same impact, and with superhero T-shirts, the whole point is to make a visual impact.
Character accuracy
Marvel fans want their T-shirts to look like the characters. That’s not necessarily a given. There are hundreds if not thousands of designs. Some feature altered versions of characters for holidays like Christmas or Halloween. Others just have sloppy prints that look more cartoonish than heroic. Find the Marvel T-shirt that represents your favorite character as you know and love them.
How much you can expect to spend on a Marvel T-shirt
Marvel T-shirts cost between $15-$25. Plus sizes may be slightly more expensive depending on the manufacturer.
Marvel T-shirt FAQ
How do I find a genuine Marvel T-shirt?
A. Most officially licensed Marvel T-shirts will state that they are officially licensed in the product description. Unfortunately, almost all Marvel T-shirts available online list the brand as “Marvel” rather than the actual manufacturer, so it’s impossible to identify an official product by looking for a known brand name. Look for “officially licensed” in the product description and check reviews before purchasing.
Can I get a Marvel T-shirt for women?
A. Yes, but not necessarily in the exact same style as men. Companies have started to appeal more toward female Marvel fans. That includes offering women’s cuts of T-shirts or prints that have more feminine colors or styles. But not every Marvel T-shirt has both a men’s and a women’s version. Women’s Marvel T-shirts also have visibly smaller prints because the shirts are more form-fitting. Ladies who want a larger print or looser fit should just order a smaller size in the men’s version.
