Thanks to a specialty plate redesign, local residents might see a familiar building on the car in front of them. The Department of Community Affairs Historic Preservation Division has a newly designed plate featuring the building that now houses Brook’s Boutique on Head Street in Tallapoosa.
The building, built in 1887 according to tax records, is important because it’s a Metzger building, said Tallapoosa City Planner Patrick Clarey.
The Metzger company built fronts for buildings, which they shipped to customers by rail, he said. This building was built during the boom in Tallapoosa, Clarey said.
“It’s relatively unique in Georgia; I think there are about 20 of them left,” Clarey said.
The building is part of the Tallapoosa Commercial Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
City Manager Philip Eidson said he is honored that city is highlighted on the license plate, but surprised since as far as he knows, no one in the city was contacted about the license plate.
Jennifer Dixon, director of the Historic Preservation Division, said she was not involved in the design process for the license plate, but the idea was to represent a variety of the historic buildings found in Georgia.
“This is new. Designs were just done this time last year, and they were introduced shortly after that,” Dixon said.
Her colleague, Allison Asbrock, outreach program manager, is also unaware of how the building came into the mix of possible designs.
“I do know multiple proof plates were designed with different themes, and the preserving downtown plate was the one chosen to move into production,” Asbrock said.
The license plate will remain in circulation until the Division decides to update the design again, Dixon said.
The plates are available as a specialty license plate from the Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division at mvd.dor.ga.gov/motor/plates/PlateSelection.aspx.
There is a one-time $25 manufacturing fee and then the $20 annual registration fee and $35 special tag fee, $22 of which goes to the Historic Preservation Division. | https://www.times-georgian.com/times_georgian/tallapoosa-building-subject-of-specialty-license-plate/article_f7fe8c39-2d74-5852-b8bd-73a7ca9a6ff8.html | 2022-06-02T14:00:10Z | https://www.times-georgian.com/times_georgian/tallapoosa-building-subject-of-specialty-license-plate/article_f7fe8c39-2d74-5852-b8bd-73a7ca9a6ff8.html | false | 2 |

$2 trillion in savings may not rescue the economy
By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business
The CEO of the biggest US bank estimates that Americans are still sitting on $2 trillion in pandemic-era savings that can power the economy even as inflation bites. But what happens once that stash of cash is diminished?
What’s happening: Consumers in the United States should maintain healthy spending patterns for the next six to nine months, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said at an investor conference on Wednesday. Stimulus checks are still making a difference.
“That fiscal stimulation is still in the pocketbooks of consumers,” Dimon said. “They’re spending it. They’re spending at very strong levels.”
But he conceded that may not be enough to keep an economic “hurricane” at bay as the Federal Reserve pulls back support and the war in Ukraine drags on.
“Right now it’s kind of sunny, things are doing fine,” Dimon said. But, he continued, a “hurricane is right out there down the road, coming our way.”
Dimon said it’s not clear if the hurricane will be “a minor one or Superstorm Sandy.” Either way, JPMorgan is “bracing” itself.
Big picture: Piles of savings have been the secret weapon of the pandemic recovery. The personal savings rate in the United States hit an all-time high of 33.8% in April 2020, quadrupling compared to February 2020. Covid-19 lockdowns dramatically limited spending options for Americans, while people who feared losing their jobs tightened their purse strings.
When the economy reopened, that fed a spending boom. And even as consumer confidence has dropped, as people worry about rising food and fuel prices, households have largely continued to whip out their wallets.
US retail sales in April were up 0.9% from the month before and were 8.2% higher than April 2021, according to the Commerce Department.
But that mountain of savings is starting to get drawn down as bills rise. The personal savings rates as a percentage of disposable income fell to 4.4% in April 2022, its lowest level since 2008. High inflation is also eroding the value of those savings, since a dollar doesn’t buy as much as it used to.
“That large pool of savings that many refer to is getting eaten up by higher inflation and wages that aren’t keeping up,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group.
Households are turning to credit to help offset higher costs. Bank of America found that credit card spending in April climbed 22% year-over-year. But as borrowing costs tick up, taking on debt may start to look like a riskier proposition.
These trends underscore an important question: How long can high levels of savings continue to prop up the economy as pressures mount?
The answer could determine whether the United States falls into a recession next year, as some economists predict.
Dimon, for his part, wasn’t all doom and gloom. He said he remains an optimist even in the face of huge uncertainty — though his remarks don’t inspire much confidence.
“I think it’s okay to hope that we’ll end up okay. I hope it. That’s my Goldilocks,” Dimon said. “Who the hell knows?”
Crude prices fall as OPEC considers pumping more oil
Oil prices fell on Thursday on reports that OPEC could start to pump more crude to make up for a drop in Russian production caused by Western sanctions.
The latest: The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that some members of the oil exporters’ cartel were exploring the idea of suspending the OPEC+ supply agreement with Russia. This would allow countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to step in and ease a supply crunch that pushed global crude prices above $120 a barrel this week.
Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s de-facto leader, had indicated to Western allies that it was prepared to raise its oil production if Russian output fell substantially as a consequence of the sanctions, the Financial Times reported Thursday. An agreement could come at a meeting of OPEC and Russian energy ministers later today, per Reuters.
Saudi Arabia had previously dismissed US requests to increase production beyond a longstanding quota agreed with Russia and other non-OPEC producers. But concerns that sky-high prices could tip the world into recession appear to be prompting a rethink.
Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, hit $125 a barrel on Tuesday, its highest level since early March. US WTI oil almost reached $120 per barrel.
Both have since dropped back in response to the media reports, with Brent dipping another 2.3% below $114 and WTI down 1.9% at $113 by 5 a.m. ET.
Sign of the times: The Biden administration would cheer the move as it tries to telegraph that it’s serious about fighting inflation, though many factors remain outside its control.
Gasoline prices in the United States hit another record of $4.72 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA.
Employers really don’t want to fire people
The number of workers being fired or laid off has hit the lowest point on record in the United States — a sign that employers are desperate to hold on to their staff as filling open roles continues to pose challenges.
Pink slips haven’t been eradicated entirely. About 1.25 million people lost their jobs in April, according to government data released Wednesday. But that’s an all-time low, breaking the previous record of 1.26 million set in December.
With nearly two openings for every unemployed job seeker, employers are doing everything they can to limit turnover, my CNN Business colleague Chris Isidore reports.
Breaking it down: The number of job openings in the United States fell slightly to 11.4 million in April. That’s still very high on a historical basis. The number of workers who quit their jobs in April was essentially unchanged from March at 4.4 million, and only slightly below the record 4.5 million who quit in November.
People who quit their jobs haven’t necessarily left the labor force. Most quit in order to take on new roles, often with better pay or benefits.
“Many employers are raising wages and incentives amid a severe labor shortage, which gives workers confidence that they can get better pay elsewhere,” Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, told clients on Thursday.
But that often creates new job openings when they depart, adding to the strain on businesses.
Up next
Hormel Foods and Designer Brands report results before US markets open. Asana, CrowdStrike and Lululemon follow after the close.
Also today: The ADP report on private payrolls posts at 8:15 a.m. ET. It’s considered a preview of the official jobs report arriving Friday.
Coming tomorrow: Economists expect to learn that the US economy added 325,000 positions in May — a solid number, though down from 428,000 the previous month.

DCW summons MCD commissioner over safety of girls in primary schools
- Country:
- India
The Delhi Commission for Women has summoned the Municipal Corporation of Delhi commissioner (MCD) after the corporation sought two months to respond to a notice on the safety and security of girls in primary schools, the panel said on Thursday.
The DCW had instituted an inquiry on the condition of safety and security of girls in primary schools in Delhi following the alleged sexual assault of two minor girls in Bhajanpura on April 30.
The panel's team had visited four primary schools of MCD in May and inspected the school buildings as well as interacted with students, teachers, and other staff of the school. During the inspections, several glaring irregularities and critical shortcomings were observed by the Commission, it had said. The DCW had asked the MCD commissioner to respond to the findings by the panel by June 9.
''It is shocking that instead of prompt action on our critical findings, MCD has chosen to turn a blind eye to the safety and security of primary students. The sheer apathy of MCD officials has led to lakhs of lives being at stake and it has now sought another two months' time to reply to the commission,'' DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal said.
The DCW said that the MCD has cited the recent unification of the three MCDs as a reason for the delay in their response. She stated that there can be no excuse for further mismanagement and negligence. ''We will not allow MCD to go scot-free. I have issued summons to MCD Commissioner to appear before the DCW and provide an action taken report within a week,'' she said.
In its summons, the DCW said that the MCD has ''unjustifiably'' failed to provide critical information despite the acute danger being faced by young students in MCD schools. ''Any delay in rectifying the glaring abnormalities in the MCD schools will make the office of MCD Commissioner liable for gross criminal negligence,'' a statement by the panel said.
The Commission has further stated that the MCD is expected to act swiftly on the issue of safety and security of the children and teachers in schools and take corrective measures immediately. The DCW visited four primary schools of MCD in May.
In one of the school premises the DCW inspected on May 20 and 21, the panel claimed it found syringes, drugs, cigarette cases, gutkha wrappers, and even broken liquor bottles.
The panel had said that the four schools were overcrowded and it was clear that the norms for teacher-pupil ratio were not being followed.
The civic body, in a statement, responded to allegations, saying that a broken syringe was found due to the existence of a corporation dispensary near the school located at Keval Park.
It also said the MCD school at Bhati Mines is facing difficulty in providing wholesome facilities as it is located on forest department land, while the corporation school in Aruna Nagar will be renovated soon.

'Nein danke': Musk's office ultimatum faces pushback in Germany
The Tesla chief executive waded into the future of work debate by telling staff at the electric carmaker that they must return to the office for at least 40 hours a week or leave the company, according to an email seen by Reuters. The IG Metall union in the German state of Brandenburg Sachsen, where Tesla's plant is located, said it would support any employee who opposed Musk’s ultimatum.
- Country:
- Germany
Elon Musk’s demand that Tesla staff stop "phoning it in" and get back to the office got short shrift from Germany’s largest trade union on Thursday. The Tesla chief executive waded into the future of work debate by telling staff at the electric carmaker that they must return to the office for at least 40 hours a week or leave the company, according to an email seen by Reuters.
The IG Metall union in the German state of Brandenburg Sachsen, where Tesla's plant is located, said it would support any employee who opposed Musk’s ultimatum. Tesla employs around 4,000 people in Germany and plans to expand the workforce to 12,000. "Whoever does not agree with such one-sided demands and wants to stand against them has the power of unions behind them in Germany, as per law," Birgit Dietze, the district leader for IG Metall in Brandenburg Sachsen, said.
Employees at Tesla's plant in Gruenheide, Germany, elected 19 people to its first workers' council in February, setting the plant apart from others run by the carmaker in the United States and elsewhere without union representation, which Musk has fiercely resisted. Some of the workers are part of IG Metall which represents workers across automotive companies and other industrial sectors.
In Germany there are currently no laws enshrining a right to work from home but the labour ministry is working on policies that would increase flexibility for workers. Many large employers, including automakers, have already embraced hybrid working models in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic which forced companies to send staff home to work. "We have a fundamentally different view on creating an attractive working environment, and stand for empowerment and personal responsibility in our teams to balance the ratio of mobile and in-person work," said Gunnar Kilian, Volkswagen board member responsible for human resources.
Luxury carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz echoed that view when asked about Musk's ultimatum. "Hybrid working is the working model of the future... different forms are possible, from complete presence to predominantly remote working," a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson said.
Musk, who has helped shift the traditional car sector to an all-electric future making himself the world’s richest man in the process, had blunt words for companies that didn’t require staff to be back in the office full-time. "There are of course companies that don't require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It's been a while," Musk wrote in the email.

“Their number is growing year by year, and it won’t be long before they take over the country. Just wait and see what happens then!” Did you ever hear anything like this? You must have, because such warnings are being issued all the time. The concern may be real, but who are “they” – the ones threatening our future?
We have a long history of pointing to “them” as the cause of our problems. Nazi sympathizers were saying this of the Jews in Germany during the 1930s –and we all know well what happened after that. Desperate whites have been saying this of Blacks for decades, long after the Emancipation Proclamation was supposed to have finally freed Blacks – from everything but racial bias, that is. Of course, the saying was often changed a bit to reflect the fears of northern city dwellers: “Soon they’ll be taking over the neighborhood!”
The unnamed reference may vary. Sometimes it’s Blacks, or perhaps Jews, or Romani, or any other group you want to name. The villain is interchangeable, depending on who happens to be at hand to cast in that role.
What is real about all this is the threat that people are reacting to when they start blaming some group for their problems. The threat could be an economic recession, a shortage of jobs, a spike in violent crimes or lots of other things. As our fears for the future tighten their grip on us, we might not know how to solve the problems we face, but at least we can take some consolation in being able to point to someone to blame.
“They,” the unnamed villains, remain a real problem even today. “They” are the ones who are promoting cryptocurrency in an effort to gain control of the world economy! “They” are the ones stealthily planting chips in the human body so that they might have access to our deepest thoughts and feelings!
Most of the current conspiracy theories begin their story with the word “they.” You can fill in the names of the usual suspects: Bill Gates, George Soros, Hillary Clinton and so on. We have these conspiracy theories in the church, too. It could be a clique of cardinals plotting to overturn the papacy, or perhaps a strong cadre of believers in Vatican II determined to derail the church. The details of the conspiracy might vary, but the basic story line is nearly the same: A dark cloud hangs over us these days. But the cloud didn’t come from nowhere; it was brought about by the workings of “them.” Once again, it’s the same pattern: the danger is real, so it must be due to malefactors. We don’t have to name the latter since we all know who we’re talking about.
But the ambiguity gets even worse. “They” are not just the ones causing the problem, but “they” are the source of our information on what is really going on.
Just a few days ago someone remarked how silly it was to require proof of vaccination. After all, recent studies confirmed that the vaccines to protect against COVID-19 are effective only a fraction of the time. Where did you hear this? I asked. “They” reported it! Source unstated, perhaps unknown. How can you weigh the value of the statement when you don’t know the source?
Our conversation then switched to border control in Texas and New Mexico. There are more illegal immigrants crossing the border today than there have been at any time over the past 20 years, I was told. And what’s the source for this? The reply was the same: “'They' reported it.” Was that Fox News? Or was it something you found on QAnon?
America has always prided itself on being a nation in which people can hold an open discussion to find acceptable ways of resolving real issues. But that depends on being able to carry on a sensible conversation. That is to say, a conversation in which we can openly discuss who might share responsibility for the current crisis. But also a conversation in which we can weigh the credibility of the sources we are using.
By this standard, we’re not close to having this kind of informed conversation today. Still in all, a good first step in that direction would be to stop using “they” rather than the proper nouns that are needed for any meaningful discussion of issues.

Canberrans have been accused of holidaying the long weekend away against the very intention of Reconciliation Day.
The ACT is the only Australian jurisdiction which has declared the day first observed in 2018 a public holiday.
But a prominent Aboriginal health service boss in the nation’s capital has labelled the annual commemoration on Monday as “tokenistic”.
It has instead failed to address poor treatment and needs of Ngunnawal people, according to Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services chief executive Julie Tongs.
“I think people in Canberra bury their heads in the sand,” she said.
The holiday is part of National Reconciliation Week from May 27 until June 3, which coincides with the anniversary of the 1967 referendum and High Court Mabo decision.
Ms Tongs said highlighting a day to celebrate and understand Aboriginal culture had fallen on deaf ears in Canberra.
“How many people actually turn up for Reconciliation Day,” she said.
“Most of them jump in their car and go down to the coast for the weekend.
“There are a lot of cultural activities that are really important, and I get that, but at the end of the day people just can’t come out on one day and be like, ‘Everything is great’, and then go back to doing what they are doing the next day.”
ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said Ms Tongs had rightly highlighted the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
But she refuted tokenistic claims of the holiday, pointing to a $20 million commitment to a healing and reconciliation fund.
“Establishing the Reconciliation Day public holiday does not take away from our obligation as a government to continue working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to support their solutions to fix problems,” Ms Stephen-Smith said.
The ACT Reconciliation Council host a public event where Canberrans can learn from Indigenous people about their culture, history, and perspective on modern Australia.
The government also funds a Reconciliation Day grants program for sporting clubs, schools and other organisations to undertake activities to promote reconciliation.
Ms Stephen-Smith believed participation in Reconciliation Day has been “consistently strong” every year.
“It is a testament to the enthusiasm in the ACT community for a better understanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their culture, and what non-Indigenous Australia can do to help heal the harm caused by colonisation and by historical and ongoing institutional racism,” she said.

CLEVELAND (WJW)– Two people drowned in Lake Erie at Lakeview Park in Lorain Tuesday night.
The Lorain County Metro Parks said a teen went into the water and didn’t resurface. A man then went into the water to help and also went under.
The Lorain County Coroner’s Office identified the two victims as Isaiah Barnes, 14, and Jesus Del Valle Rodriquez, 20.
Isaiah’s father said the boy went to the lakefront with a relative and some friends, and he didn’t know how to swim.
“I would have at least told him that I love him before he left. I just want my son back,” John Hitchens said. He called the man who tried to save his son a hero. “I just want to thank him for trying.”
Lakeview Park is not open for swimming, and there were no lifeguards on duty.
“The swimming area in there is pretty calm, pretty mild, so a lot of people go and swim in that area. But beyond those rocks is the undertow so if you’re not an experienced swimmer, it could be very dangerous,” said resident Derik Wilhelm. “There are undertows underneath there. They’ll pull you down, that current will sweep you out.” | https://www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/thank-him-for-trying-man-drowns-while-trying-to-rescue-teen-in-lake-erie/ | 2022-06-02T14:25:34Z | https://www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/thank-him-for-trying-man-drowns-while-trying-to-rescue-teen-in-lake-erie/ | false | 2 |
NEW YORK (AP) — For millions of fans of Netflix’s sci-fi drama “Stranger Things,” there’s little mystery in how they spent their Memorial Day weekend.
Netflix released seven new episodes of the show’s much awaited fourth season and said that a record-setting 286 million hours were streamed over the weekend. That’s the biggest premiere ever for an English-language show on the service, beating the 193 hours for the second season of “Bridgerton,” earlier this year.
It’s a welcome dose of good news for Netflix, whose financial troubles have kept business reporters occupied this year.
The fourth season of “Stranger Things” is being released in two chunks, with two more episodes expected in July before the show wraps up with a fifth season.
With long, richly-produced episodes, the new season felt a bit like a throwback to Netflix’s glory days — and that isn’t necessarily a good thing, critic Daniel D’Addario wrote for Variety.
“The show has high ambitions and meets them — but in so doing sacrifices charm and humanity on the altar of looking and feeling expensive,” he wrote.
Others found the new episodes thrilling. The fourth of the seven episodes just offered was “one of the finest hour and seventeen minutes of television I’ve seen in a long time,” culture contributor Erik Kain wrote for Forbes.
“Stranger Things” and a strong performance over the weekend by new episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+ show that the two big streamers are effective in building franchises that appeal to passionate fans but also attract new users, said Cole Strain, vice president of measurement products at the research firm Samba TV.
Unlike broadcast and cable television, the streamers don’t offer estimates on how many people are actually watching the shows.
Meanwhile, on broadcast last week, NBC reached nearly 6.4 million viewers for the series finale of “This Is Us,” with the numbers expected to rise through delayed viewing.
CBS led the week in prime time, averaging 3.9 million viewers last week. ABC had 2.9 million, NBC had 2.86 million, Fox had 2.3 million, Univision had 1.3 million, Ion Television had 890,000 and Telemundo had 810,000.
ESPN led the cable networks, averaging 3.4 million viewers last week. Fox News Channel had 2.17 million, TNT had 2.14 million, MSNBC had 992,000 and HGTV had 911,000.
ABC’s “World News Tonight” won the evening news ratings race with an average of 7.4 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” had 6.3 million and the “CBS Evening News” clocked in at 4.6 million.

Trump supporter arrested over US Capitol breach after fraternity brother tips off FBI
The eighth Oklahoman charged over the U.S. Capitol attack was turned in by a college fraternity brother who saw his 10 Facebook videos of the riot, the FBI reported.
Levi Roy Gable, 36, was arrested Thursday in Tulsa.
He is accused in four misdemeanor counts of illegally going inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and engaging in disruptive conduct.
"I was among the first people to make our way into the US Capitol Building," he purportedly posted on Facebook, according to the FBI.
"Those in the building first were there in protest of Vice President Mike Pence’s statement that he would not stand with the American people and challenge the results of 2020’s stolen presidential election."
More than 800 individuals have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department said last week. The investigation is ongoing.
Gable is charged in federal court in Washington, D.C.
Five other Oklahomans charged in the attack have pleaded guilty. Two are awaiting trial.
Gable admitted last year in an interview that he walked to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after attending a rally, the FBI reported in a court affidavit. However, he denied going inside multiple times during the interview with FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force officers.
The FBI reported finding Capitol surveillance footage and cell tower records that place Gable inside during the riot.
Thousands marched on the Capitol after then-President Donald Trump spoke at the "Save America" rally and urged them to fight like hell.
Rioters overwhelmed Capitol police to breach the building, delaying the formal counting of the Electoral College votes that had Joe Biden winning the presidential election. Some chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!"
Trump had pressured Pence — as president of the Senate — to block the certification of the results. "Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn’t, that will be a sad day for our country," Trump said at the rally.
Pence refused, describing his role as "largely ceremonial."
The fraternity brother reported Gable to the FBI on Jan. 10, 2021, and later provided agents videos and a snapshot of the post about being one of the first inside. The witness said the evidence came directly from Gable's Facebook page.
"The videos ... show scenes of individuals yelling or chanting while inside the U.S. Capitol building. It appears that Gable is behind the camera, filming," the FBI reported.
In one seven-second video, a group repeatedly yells, "Our house!" in front of a police line, the FBI reported.
In a three-second video, rioters can be heard repeatedly yelling, "Nancy!" the FBI reported.
Some rioters specifically were searching for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the breach. One Oklahoma participant took a beer from a mini-refrigerator after going into the speaker's conference room.
The FBI identified the fraternity brother only as Witness 1. The two were in college together approximately 15 years ago, according to the affidavit.
"We were there to make our voices be heard," Gable also purportedly wrote in the Facebook post provided by the witness, according to the FBI.
"Capitol Police backed away from their stations and allowed protestors to make our way to the building," the post read.
"We pushed through the halls end to end, with no violence, no punches thrown or bullets fired, room to room, moving throughout the halls, letting our voices be heard.
"Once inside the halls, there were hundreds of police officers scattered throughout. They were vehemently restricting access to some areas," the post read. "While it did get a little tense at times and there was certainly a few doors forced open, it was peaceful.
"It was later that things turned noticeably more violent, after the number of protestors were EXPONENTIALLY reduced and the majority of us who came to let our voices be heard felt we had accomplished just that and headed back to our hotels."
A second witness tipped off the FBI on Jan. 13, 2021, that Gable had reposted another Facebook user's post with the caption, “Everyone is in for a surprise. It’s happening. There is a plan in motion.” The FBI did not say in the affidavit when that repost was made.
The FBI was unable to independently verify the posts and videos because Gable deleted his Facebook page. Gable told investigators last year he deleted his Facebook page after hearing that those who attended the Trump rally were being harassed.
Gable was released from custody after agreeing to pay $10,000 if he misses a future court appearance. He could not be reached for comment.
He is vice president of Gable's Excavating, according to the Tulsa company's website. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2619753519381/trump-supporter-arrested-over-us-capitol-breach-after-fraternity-brother-tips-off-fbi | 2022-06-02T14:29:42Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2619753519381/trump-supporter-arrested-over-us-capitol-breach-after-fraternity-brother-tips-off-fbi | false | 3 |

Roy Moore Can Proceed with Libel Suit Over Allegation That He Had Solicited Sex at Mall from 14-Year-Old
Press accounts had said he “had been banned from the mall because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls” and that he had told a 14-year-old girl at the mall “she looked pretty.” But viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Moore, the court finds that telling viewers that Moore was banned from the mall for soliciting sex from a 14-year-old Santa’s Helper is more stinging than telling viewers that Moore complimented a 14-year-old girl on her appearance or telling them more generally that Moore was banned from the mall for soliciting young girls.”
From Moore v. Senate Majority PAC, decided Tuesday by Judge Corey Maze (N.D. Ala.):
[Roy] Moore won a run-off election to become the Republican nominee for the vacant seat in September 2017. Moore squared off against Democratic nominee Doug Jones in December….
On November 9, 2017, The Washington Post published an article about four women who alleged that Moore sought relationships with them when he was in his 30s and they were in their teens. Relevant here, the article stated, "Wendy Miller says she was 14 and working as a Santa's helper at the Gadsden Mall when Moore first approached her, and 16 when he asked her on dates, which her mother forbade."
On November 12, 2017, the New American Journal published an article by Glynn Wilson that alleged, "Sources tell me Moore was actually banned from the Gadsden Mall and the YMCA for his inappropriate behavior of soliciting sex from young girls." On November 13, 2017, The New Yorker published an article by Charles Bethea that repeated Wilson's statement. The New Yorker article also stated that Bethea had spoken to "more than a dozen people—including a major political figure in the state—who told [Bethea] that they had heard, over the years, that Moore had been banned from the mall because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls." The New Yorker article also stated that Greg Legat thought the ban "started around 1979." On November 13, 2017, AL.com also published an article that stated, "Wendy Miller told The Post that she was 14 and working as Santa's helper at the Gadsden Mall in 1977 when Moore first spoke with her and told her she looked pretty. Two years later, when she was 16, he asked her out on dates, although her mother wouldn't let her go."
Over the next few weeks, various news agencies circulated these allegations: (1) allegations that Moore sexually harassed or assaulted several more women when they were teenagers; and (2) allegations that Moore was banned from the Gadsden Mall because he sexually harassed or solicited sex from young girls. For example, The New York Times published an article that read, "An article in The New Yorker asserted that Mr. Moore had been barred from the mall in his hometown, Gadsden, for bothering young women, a memory that many in the town said they shared, though no one has found direct evidence." …
Defendant SMP—a federally registered political action committee that supported Moore's opponent, Doug Jones—helped create a television advertisement that quoted previously reported allegations ("the shopping mall ad"). The parties disagree about Defendant Waterfront's involvement in creating the content or publishing the shopping mall ad.
The shopping mall ad ran during the final weeks of the campaign. Relevant here, the shopping mall ad juxtaposed these quotes:
- "Moore was actually banned from the Gadsden Mall … for soliciting sex from young girls." –New American Journal, 11/12/2017
- "One he approached 'was 14 and working as Santa's helper.' " –AL.com, 11/13/2017
Moore lost the Senate race.
To succeed on his claims, Moore must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the Defendants created or published the shopping mall ad with either: (1) knowledge that the statements were false; or (2) reckless disregard for whether the statements were false….
[T]he Defendants argue that the court should grant summary judgment because the statements in the shopping mall advertisement—when read separately—are true: (1) the Defendants had a right to rely on widespread reporting that Moore was banned from the Gadsden Mall for soliciting sex from young girls; and (2) Moore himself did not deny that he approached Wendy Miller when she was 14 years old and working as a Santa's helper. The Defendants assert that "SMP did not intend for the TV Ad's second quote to state that Moore was—in the moment—soliciting sex from Wendy Miller when he approached her at the mall[, but instead] intended to suggest that people had said that Moore approached Miller when she was 14 and working as a Santa's helper." Thus, the Defendants argue that the shopping mall ad was accurate and that SMP reasonably believed that it was accurate. Moore counters that, by juxtaposing the quotes as they did, the Defendants intended to "convey that the 14 year old Santa's Helper was 'one' of the 'young girls' that Moore was 'actually banned from the Gadsden Mall … for soliciting sex from.'" The court finds that the Defendants' intent in placing these quotes back-to-back is a question of fact for the jury.
The Defendants next argue that, regardless of their intent, the implication that Moore solicited sex from Miller when she was 14 and working as a Santa's helper is not actionable because the "gist" or "sting" of the shopping mall ad is substantially the same as it would have been without the implication. See Masson v. New Yorker Mag., Inc. (1991) ("Minor inaccuracies do not amount to falsity so long as 'the substance, the gist, the sting" is justified). But viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Moore, the court finds that telling viewers that Moore was banned from the mall for soliciting sex from a 14-year-old Santa's Helper is more stinging than telling viewers that Moore complimented a 14-year-old girl on her appearance or telling them more generally that Moore was banned from the mall for soliciting young girls. The jury must decide whether the substance or sting of the juxtaposed ad was justified.
Next, the Defendants assert that they reasonably believed that Moore solicited sex from Wendy Miller when he approached her while she 14 years old and working as Santa's Helper. The Defendants say that "given the various reports about Moore engaging in unwanted sexual conduct toward young girls, when Moore approached Miller and told her she was pretty when she was 14, he was engaging in a process of soliciting her to begin a physical relationship." But just like the Defendants' intent is a question of fact for the jury, the Defendants' belief about Moore's intent when he approached Miller is a question of fact for the jury to decide.
Finally, the Defendants argue that summary judgment is proper because multiple media sources had already reported that Moore engaged in a pattern of inappropriate sexual advances toward underage girls and that Moore had been formally or informally banned from the Gadsden Mall for this conduct. The Defendants rely on … Berisha v. Lawson (11th Cir. 2020), which states that "reliance on [ ]many independent sources, alone, should defeat any claim of actual malice."
The court has already rejected this argument. Yes, previous reports support a statement that authorities banned Moore from the mall, in part, because Moore solicited young girls. That's why the court previously held that Moore cannot prove that the Defendants had actual malice in publishing the statement that "Moore was actually banned from the Gadsden Mall … for soliciting sex from young girls." But there was no prior report that Moore asked Wendy Miller for sex when she was 14 and working as Santa's helper at the Gadsden Mall—i.e., the juxtaposed statement that the Defendants made. To the contrary, Miller told the Washington Post that when she was 14 and working as Santa's Helper, "Moore told her that she looked pretty," then when she was 16, "he began asking her out on dates in the presence of her mother at the photo both." Because the Defendants fail to point to another media source that previously said that Moore solicited sex from a 14-year-old working at the mall as Santa's Helper, this argument fails…. | https://reason.com/volokh/2022/06/02/roy-moore-can-proceed-with-libel-suit-over-allegation-that-he-had-solicited-sex-at-mall-from-14-year-old/ | 2022-06-02T14:31:13Z | https://reason.com/volokh/2022/06/02/roy-moore-can-proceed-with-libel-suit-over-allegation-that-he-had-solicited-sex-at-mall-from-14-year-old/ | true | 1 |

Former Bachelor stars livid at Channel 10 after it's revealed new season will be filmed in $14.5M Gold Coast mansion: 'We got ripped off'
Former Bachelor contestants have expressed their frustration after it was revealed the new season will be filmed at a $14.5million mansion on the Gold Coast.

Google announces new version of Chromecast with remote features
Google has announced its newest version of Chromecast, featuring a variety of new features and a new look.
The company says the new model will bring together the best of local and global content into one convenient location, with new features and the addition of Google TV.
While the trademark thin design returns with a new look, Google has announced the new model will also come with a remote, which they say has been one of the most requested features.
The company also says that the addition of the Google TV experience will bring together movies, shows and more from across users' apps and subscriptions and will organise them for cohesion.
The product plugs into a TV's HDMI port and fits in behind the screen, with Google highlighting the ease of installation and lack of invasiveness.
Video can be streamed in up to 4K HDR at up to 60 frames per second. With Dolby Vision, users can also get better colour, contrast and brightness on their TV. The company also supports HDMI pass-through of Dolby audio content.
The new remote also features voice capabilities and a dedicated Google Assistant button, allowing users to navigate the product's menus via voice intelligence. The remote also has dedicated buttons for various streaming services for easier access, along with TV controls for power, volume and input.
The Apple TV app, including Apple TV+, is also available on the new Chromecast with Google TV, as are thousands of other apps giving viewers the ability to browse 400,000+ movies and TV shows. With family sharing, up to six family members can share subscriptions to Apple TV+ and Apple TV channels.
The Apple TV app also gives users access to their library of movie and TV show purchases from Apple, as well as personalised and curated recommendations and Apple TV channels. Google Assistant can be asked to navigate all the apps to open and choose recommendations for the user.
Google TV's Watchlist also lets users bookmark movies and shows they want to save for later. They can then add to the Watchlist from a phone or laptop, and it will be waiting on their TV when they return home.
"Today, we have more content choices than ever, sprinkled across an ever-expanding variety of apps, which can make it difficult to find what to watch," a Google blog release stated.
"We've made our biggest leap yet to help you navigate your entertainment choices, bringing together the best of local and global content into one convenient location, with the all-new Chromecast with Google TV."
Starting from June 22, Chromecast with Google TV will be available in New Zealand for NZD$110. It will be available from retailers Noel Leeming, The Warehouse, JB Hifi, Harvey Norman and PB Tech. | https://futurefive.co.nz/story/google-announces-new-version-of-chromecast-with-remote-features | 2022-06-02T14:32:58Z | https://futurefive.co.nz/story/google-announces-new-version-of-chromecast-with-remote-features | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mary Jane Riva, CEO of the Pizza Factory, has a cautionary message for her customers this summer: Prepare to wait longer for your Hawaiian pie or calzone.
The Pizza Factory’s 100 West Coast locations are desperately short of workers. With about 12 employees per store, they’re barely half-staffed — just when many more Americans are venturing out to restaurant chains like hers.
“The days of 15-minute orders,” Riva said, “may not be happening anymore.”
Talk to other employers in America’s vast hospitality sector — hotels, restaurants, public pools, ice cream parlors, pick-your-own strawberry farms — and you’ll hear a similar lament. They can’t fill many of their summer jobs because the number of open positions far exceeds the number of people willing and able to fill them — even at increased wages.
Some help may be coming: School’s out for summer, cutting loose millions of high school and college students for the next three months. Riva, for one, is hoping to field more job applications from students seeking summertime spending money.
Teens are in an unusually commanding position — at least those among them who want a job. Researchers at Drexel University’s Center for Labor Markets and Policy predicted in a report last month that an average of 33% of youths ages 16 to 19 will be employed each month from June through August this year, the highest such rate since 34% in the summer of 2007.
Among them is Samuel Castillo, a 19-year-old four-year veteran of Miami’s Summer Jobs Connect program who’s already built an impressive resume. In one former job with the program, he worked in a legislative office, registering constituent complaints. His first summer, he saved $900 to buy parts to build his own computer.
Now, he’s studying computer engineering technology in college and working in the Jobs Connect program again this summer, earning $15 an hour teaching other students how to manage money.
“The goal for working is to pay my bills,’’ he said. “School costs money. Books cost money.’’
This year, for the first time in a couple of years, employers might get more help from overseas. After restricting immigration as a COVID-19 precaution, the government is beginning to loosen up: The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has raised the limit on H-2B temporary work permits — used for seasonal work — by 35,000 visas.
Cape Resorts, which operates several boutique hotels, cottages and restaurants in Cape May and elsewhere in New Jersey and New York, will employ about 120 international students this summer on J-1 visas, work permits that also serve as a kind of cultural exchange program. The company employs about 950 staffers.
“Finding staff that are eager to fill hospitality roles remains a challenge,” said Cindy D’Aoust, a company executive. “But it is great to see the return of our international students as well as returning college students for the summer season.”
Still, today’s level of teen employment isn’t close to what it used to be. In August 1978, 50% of America’s teenagers were working. Around 2000, teenage employment went into a decade-long slide. In June 2010, during the agonizingly slow recovery from the 2007-2009 Great Recession, teenage employment bottomed at 25% before slowly rising again as the economy recovered.
It was more than economic doldrums that kept teens away from work. Longer-term economic forces and changing personal choices contributed, too. The U.S. economy now offers fewer low-skill, entry-level jobs — ready-made for teens — than in the 1970s and 1980s. Many such jobs that do remain, from supermarket clerk to fast-food burger flipper, are increasingly likely to be taken by older workers, many of them immigrants.
And many teens from affluent families, eyeing admission to top universities, have chosen to forgo summer jobs for summer school or volunteer work that bear mention on college applications. Others now spend their summers playing sports.
But COVID and its economic damage changed everything. At first, the economy collapsed as businesses locked down and consumers hunkered down at home. Soon, vast federal aid and ultra-low interest rates ignited an unexpectedly fast recovery. Businesses scrambled to recall employees they had laid off and to find new ones to keep up with resurgent customer orders.
The U.S. unemployment rate has dropped to 3.6%, just above a half-century low. This week, the government reported that employers posted 11.4 job openings in April, down from a record 11.9 million in March but still extraordinarily high. On average, there are now roughly two jobs available for every unemployed American.
Suddenly, teenagers are in much greater demand. And the pay available to them — $15 or $16 an hour for entry-level work — is drawing some back into the job market. Teenage employment has already topped pre-pandemic levels even though the overall job market still hasn’t.
With desperate employers jacking up hourly wages, many teens can take jobs that pay better than the usual seasonal openings at summer camps, RV parks, and resorts, said Julia Pollak, an economist at ZipRecruiter.
“We have this big gap in the market now,” she said. “There are no takers for jobs that are typically given to teens for pocket money.”
Economists and other analysts welcome the reversal in fortune. Summertime jobs give young people experience and make it more likely they will work later in life, the Drexel researchers say — good news for a U.S. labor force that is losing the vast baby boom generation to retirement. Entry-level jobs also give teens the opportunity to learn how to handle money and to mingle with colleagues and customers from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds.
Lauren Gonzalez, who operates two hostels with her sister — The Local in New York and Lolo Pass in Portland, Oregon — is looking for a barista, a bartender, an events manager and a sales manager. She recently raised pay for housekeepers and receptionists, jobs that she had previously had little trouble filling.
“I definitely throw my hands in the air sometimes and say: ‘Where is everyone?’ “

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A man who killed his 71-year-old father in the victim’s Rancho Santa Fe home five years ago was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder.
Leighton Dorey IV, 44, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole after a San Diego jury found him guilty Wednesday of murder, plus a special circumstance allegation of torture.
The trial was the second Dorey has had regarding the May 30, 2017, killing of Leighton Dorey III, though this time Dorey represented himself. His first trial held in Vista three years ago resulted in a hung jury that voted 11-1 in favor of convicting him.
Prosecutors alleged that after spending the prior four years living in France, the younger Dorey showed up at his father’s La Brisa home, then killed him because of a perceived lack of financial support.
The elder Dorey was beaten and strangled, according to the prosecution, which alleged his injuries included fractures to his spine, neck and ribs, as well as a broken nose, broken jaw, skin torn from his hands and many of his teeth strewn about his body from the force of the beating.
Dorey testified on his own behalf and told jurors he killed his father in self-defense after the victim tried to strangle him with a belt. During an ensuing struggle, he claimed he tried to subdue his father by putting him in a sleeper hold and inadvertently took his life.
He then told jurors that in a panic, he attempted to stage the scene first as a suicide. When those efforts failed, he said he attempted to make it look as though his father had been killed by an accidental fall down a stairway at the home.
Though he described his treatment of his father’s body as “horrific” and “repulsive,” he said, “I do think what I did was wrong. But it’s not murder.”
While on the stand, Dorey extensively detailed his financial troubles, his issues finding consistent work while living overseas, his father’s unsupportive attitude toward his endeavors to develop “money-multiplier” software, and his belief that his father tried to poison him in 2013.
Dorey testified that he tried to broach the poisoning subject with his father on May 30, but the elder Dorey would have none of it. As Dorey put it, his father was “in no way empathetic or interested in trying to resolve whatever my concerns were.”
He testified that after the unsuccessful attempt to discuss the poisoning, his father gestured toward a painting of his son and said, “That’s the L.B. I prefer to remember,” referring to the nickname family members used to refer to Dorey.
Dorey said he then bent down to tie one of his shoelaces that had come undone, at which point his father screamed, “Now you’re dead,” threw his belt around his son’s neck and began choking him.
After leaving the home, Dorey said he drove to a police station in Murrieta and was prepared to turn himself in, but said, “I couldn’t make myself do it” and left to have “one more day of freedom.”
Law enforcement tracked him down in the Riverside County mountain community of Idyllwild one day later and arrested him.

Partnership Supports Senior Care Compliance and Secure Access to Protected Health Information
MINNETONKA, Minn., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eldermark, an acclaimed healthcare technology provider for the senior care industry, today announced its certified integration with Surescripts, designed to help senior living communities meet increasing regulatory requirements governing residents' protected health information (PHI).
Assisted living and long-term care facilities, as well as skilled nursing providers, face greater compliance demands than ever before. Across the country, states are contemplating – and enacting – legislation that governs how the senior care industry accesses PHI and reports on resident movement. Eldermark's certified integration with Surescripts empowers senior living communities to be in compliance with state laws; it also enables providers to securely access a health information exchange for the most up-to-date health information, independent of the patient's ability to provide that information.
"Eldermark's HIPAA-compliant technology is built with the needs of senior living staff in mind," said Kaiser Ahmad, Chief Technology Officer at Eldermark. "We're constantly updating our capabilities to comply with new regulations in all 50 states. We're proud to be one of the first companies to gain this certification for clinical interoperability beyond just certified e-prescribing. Designation by an organization as widely respected as Surescripts demonstrates our dedication to proactively serving our clients."
Surescripts serves the nation through simpler, trusted health intelligence sharing, in order to increase patient safety, lower costs and improve the quality of care. Surescripts convenes healthcare organizations across the nation to give healthcare professionals the trusted insights they need to serve patients, enabling delivery of the right information for the right purpose at the right time, all while maintaining the highest standards for network access, security and performance.
"Long-term and post-acute care providers need, and expect, the most complete patient data in their electronic health records software to enable secure care coordination with other providers," explained Andrew Mellin, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer of Surescripts. "Together with Eldermark, our Clinical Direct Messaging service delivers the interoperability care providers need to seamlessly communicate and bridge information gaps in the moment of care."
For nearly thirty years, Eldermark has empowered senior living leaders to improve workflow processes, work more efficiently, and generate actionable insights so teams can focus on what truly matters – delivering superior resident experiences. Learn more at Eldermark.com.

Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan, who is currently riding high on the success of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', revealed that he next wants to be part of a Marvel film.
During an interaction with Filmfare, Kartik was asked if there was any movie poster or trailer in the recent times that made him want to be a part of it. To that, the actor promptly replied, "Recently, I saw 'Dr Strange' in the theatre, and I was like, I want to be part of a Marvel universe. They really know how to create magic."
Kartik also stated that despite delivering back-to-back hits at the box office, he believes that he still has a long way to go in showbiz.
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' has become the biggest opener of 2022 so far and has minted Rs 137.54 crore at the box office in two weeks.
The film shattered several records at the box office and gave a tough fight to Kangana Ranaut's 'Dhaakad', which also released on the same day as 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2'.
Kartik is currently touted as a superstar by many critics and the audience for delivering the blockbuster of the year and is all set to impress fans with more interesting projects in his lineup, including 'Shehzada', 'Captain India', 'Freddy' and Sajid Nadiadwala's untitled next. | https://www.freepressjournal.in/bollywood/after-bhool-bhulaiyaa-2-kartik-aaryan-now-wants-to-be-part-of-marvel-universe | 2022-06-02T14:37:52Z | https://www.freepressjournal.in/bollywood/after-bhool-bhulaiyaa-2-kartik-aaryan-now-wants-to-be-part-of-marvel-universe | true | 1 |
LONDON, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Shipments of large-area TFT LCD display panels dropped to historical lows in April as pandemic impacts combined with disruptions from the war in Europe and lockdowns in China to dampen demand, according to Omdia's latest Large Area Display Market Tracker.
Large-area TFT LCD panel shipments decreased by 10% Month on Month (MoM) and 5% Year on Year (YoY) in April, to 74.1million units, representing historically low shipment performance since May 2020. Omdia defines large-area TFT LCD displays as larger than 9 inches.
"With continued ramifications from the pandemic, demand for IT panels for monitors and notebook PCs remained strong in 4Q21. But as the market became saturated starting in 2022, IT panel shipments started slowing in 1Q22 and early 2Q22," said Robin Wu, Principal Analyst for Large Area Display & Production, Omdia.
Wu said that notebook panel shipments decreased 21% MoM in April, to 18.2 million units, or a 33% decrease from a peak of 27.3 million units in November 2021.
TV Shipments Dip 9% MoM
While TV panel prices have decreased noticeably since 3Q21, TV LCD panel shipments increased to a peak of 23.4 million in December 2021, driven by low prices. But rising inflation, the Ukraine crisis and continued lockdowns in China have slowed demand. As a result, TV panel shipments posted a 9% MoM decline in April, to 21.7million units.
Many TV panel prices have fallen below manufacturing cost, and panel makers began to lose money in their TV panel business starting in 4Q21. But Chinese panel makers, the biggest capacity owners, still haven't reduced their fab utilization. With no sign of demand recovery in 2Q22 or even 3Q22, the supply/demand situation is unlikely to see improvement, Wu said.
"IT LCD panels could still deliver positive cash flow for panel makers. But with prices dropping dramatically, panel makers will soon start to lose money in their IT panel business," Wu said. "Maybe only then will panel makers reduce their glass input and the overall supply/demand situation will return to balance."

Which cheap LG monitor is best?
Everyone with a computer wants a good monitor, but the newest, fanciest stuff can get expensive. The truth is that you do not necessarily need a pricey monitor for your computer.
If you want the best relatively cheap LG monitor available, the top choice is the LG 27UL500-W 27-inch UHD IPS Monitor. With Radeon Freesync tech built-in, streaming videos or playing games will not cause any potential stuttering and screen tearing.
What to know before you buy a cheap LG monitor
Do you need the monitor right now?
If you need to grab an affordable monitor for your desktop set up right away, there are lots of cheaper options. However, if you could wait for a while and save up your money, it could be worth investing in a higher-quality monitor. If your computer monitor is something you plan on using for multiple hours every day, it might be worth it to get the best, even if it is more expensive.
Space
If your desk is crowded, you may not want a very big monitor. The good news is that monitors with compact profiles will generally be cheaper. Measure the space you have for a screen and consider the range of sizes that would work best for you before you pick out an affordable LG monitor. Monitors between 22-30 inches will probably be the cheapest.
Resolution
A beautiful 4K monitor is nice to have, but it could be unnecessary. If you do not watch films in 4K on your computer and you do not play games in 4K either, avoiding 4K resolution displays will just save you more money. Full HD 1080p monitors can still produce great visuals. If you want a high-resolution monitor for gaming, do not worry because there are affordable options available.
What to look for in a quality cheap LG monitor
Size and shape
The dimensions of your screen are generally going to be a big factor in determining the cost. You should consider if you would like a curved monitor and how much space you have. Monitors come with desk stands, but depending on your setup it may be helpful to wall-mount the screen. Unfortunately, for curved monitors to achieve the goal of proper immersion, they should be at least around 34 inches wide. Consider your budget and the size that would fit best in your space.
Gaming quality of life features
If you like to play video games, the best monitors will include built-in solutions to problems like screen tearing and visual stutters that could disrupt your gaming experience. Fast-paced, action-oriented games can look good, even on cheap monitors, as long as the monitor can lock the refresh rate to your computer’s graphics card frame rate. Some users also like LG’s pixel-perfect crosshair feature that can add an exact crosshair marker in the center of your vision when playing an FPS game.
Connectivity
Your monitor should be able to conveniently connect any devices to your PC setup. Not all monitors have the same ports available, so check before you buy. The best options have HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, USB and more. Depending on what devices you need to connect, the ports required for your desktop will vary.
How much you can expect to spend on a cheap LG monitor
Many LG monitors with premium features or 4K resolution will be over $400, varying depending on the size. High-quality monitors at modest sizes can still be found for under $300 and basic models can be obtained for less than $200.
Cheap LG monitor FAQ
What kinds of computers work with LG monitors?
A. PCs and Macs can be compatible with LG monitors. Naturally, desktops will need a monitor, but laptop users may also like increasing the size of their virtual workspace by plugging in an additional monitor. If you use a Mac, check that the LG monitor you plan to buy has a Thunderbolt 3 port before you buy. LG monitors are generally not designed to work exclusively with any particular kind of hardware.
When can you find LG monitors for bargain prices?
A. Affordable LG monitors can be found even cheaper if you keep an eye out for events like Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday sales. Shopping closer to holidays will make it easier to find high-end technology for less. If you keep an eye out for monitors to go on sale, you may be able to pick up an incredible piece of equipment for cheap.

DUBLIN, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Pharmaceutical Excipients Global Market Report 2022: By Functionality, By Type, By Product" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Major players in the pharmaceutical excipients market are, Archer Daniels Midland Co., Associated British Foods, Dow Chemical Company, Evonik, Croda International Plc, Ashland, BASF SE, The Lubrizol Corporation and Roquette Freres.
The global pharmaceutical excipients market is expected to grow from $8.13 billion in 2021 to $8.60 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The market is expected to reach $10.88 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 6.0%.
The pharmaceutical excipients market consists of sales of pharmaceutical excipients and related services. The excipient is a substance, not an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that has been evaluated for safety, and intentionally added in a drug delivery system. Excipient's major roles are to protect, support, enhance stability, bioavailability, patient acceptability, and assist in the effectiveness. The market consists of revenue generated by the company's manufacturing the pharmaceutical excipients by the sales of these excipients
The main types of products in pharmaceutical excipients are inorganic chemicals and organic chemicals. Pharmaceutical inorganic chemical is concerned with the manufacture, physical or chemical characteristics of substances, assay techniques, and applications of inorganic substances used as pharmaceutical aids, treatments, and diagnostics.
The different functionalities include fillers and diluents, suspending and viscosity agents, coating agents, binders, flavouring agents and sweetners, disintegrants, colorants, lubricants and glidants, others and involves various formulations such as oral fromulation, topical formulation, parental formulation.
North America is the largest region in the pharmaceutical excipients market in 2021. Middle East is expected to be the fastest growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.
The global surge in the sale of generic drugs contributed to the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. Generic drugs are alternatives to the marketed brand name drug in the same dosage form, safety, strength, and route of administration and quality. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is the largest provider of generic medicines, the country's generic drugs account for 20% of the global generic drug exports. Indian pharmaceutical companies received 300 generic drug approvals in the USA. The surge in the demand for generic drugs drives the pharmaceutical excipients market.
Concerns related to safety and quality are expected to limit the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market. According to the Pharmaceutical Journal, there are certain complications in children with the use of pharmaceutical drugs with excipients. For instance, the colorants used in medicine as a coloring agent may lead to sensitivity reactions and hyperactive behaviour in children.
Ethanol is another solvent that is widely used in an oral liquid formulation, the use of ethanol mixed medicine for children may have a risk of acute intoxication when overdose, and it may lead chronic toxicity with long term use. Concerns related to safety and quality are expected to limit the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market.
The increase in research and development in the pharmaceutical formulation to enhance the production process and product quality by using multi-functional excipients is a trend shaping the market. Excipients play a significant role in helping pharmaceutical manufacturers better support patients by increasing compliance and treatment effectiveness.
For instance, Evonik's newly launched EUDRAGIT FS 100 is a solid version of the existing EUDRAGIT FS 30 D. This new multi-functional version allows pharmaceutical companies to use the polymer in many new applications, such as hot-melt extrusion, solvent spray-drying, and solvent coating, which was impossible to achieve in past decades where only the aqueous version was available.
In July 2021, Philip Morris International, a US based cigarette and tobacco manufacturing company acquired Fertin Pharma for $820m. Through this acquisition PMI will gain significant ability in developing, formulating, and marketing existing as well as new smoke-free platforms. Fertin Pharma is a Denmark based company that manufactures pharmaceutical excipients.

Not being in the position of owning a future classic, I’ll always wonder what goes through the heads of those who buy an incredible car, use it (or not) for a while, then stash it away somewhere, just to have it restored decades later and (maybe) sold some more years after that, possibly for a profit.
I do however consider myself happy such people are among us, because they give us the opportunity to stumble upon wonders that would have otherwise been left to the history books.
Going through the thousands of cars sold each year at auctions across America we often come across incredible machines, all with a background, and some of them even with their own stories. Given how June is Open Top Month here on autoevolution, we’ll be focusing on those masterpieces that come with a removable roof.
And I’ll start with this here Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a rare 1960 example that has been parked more than half a century ago, taken out of storage 35 years after that for some well-deserved restoration work, and is now back into the spotlight as a hot sale during the Mecum auction Tulsa, set to take place next week.
Accompanied by about 1,000 other vehicles, but not lost among them, this precious Eldorado, part of the short-lived fourth generation, is one of just 1,265 made that year in Biarritz guise, meaning convertible, and stands out thanks to several distinct features, the most prominent of all (aside for the simply beautiful design, of course) being the orange exterior, white interior, and chromed stylish wheels.
According to the unnamed seller of the car, when the Eldorado was subjected to a restoration process a decade and a half ago, its frame was sandblasted, everything got cleaned, and some parts, like the ball joints and air conditioning, replaced with new pieces of hardware.
We are not informed of any tuning being performed on the convertible, and the engine it hides under the hood seems to be the stock one. That would be the 390ci (6.4-liter) V8, which in this application had a rated output of 345 hp, quite the number for that time.
The unit was rebuilt during the work conducted years ago, although the specifics of what needed replacing are not provided. Just like when it was born, the car still uses an automatic transmission.
The 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is apparently listed by Mecum with a reserve, but we are not told how much that is. The car is scheduled to go under the hammer on Saturday, June 11.
For reference, valuation company Hagerty places a concours-condition Eldorado Biarritz from the same year at $228,000. This one is not quite there, but I wouldn’t put it past it to eventually sell for a low six-digit sum.

Given how June is Open Top Month here on autoevolution, we’ll be focusing on those masterpieces that come with a removable roof.
And I’ll start with this here Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a rare 1960 example that has been parked more than half a century ago, taken out of storage 35 years after that for some well-deserved restoration work, and is now back into the spotlight as a hot sale during the Mecum auction Tulsa, set to take place next week.
Accompanied by about 1,000 other vehicles, but not lost among them, this precious Eldorado, part of the short-lived fourth generation, is one of just 1,265 made that year in Biarritz guise, meaning convertible, and stands out thanks to several distinct features, the most prominent of all (aside for the simply beautiful design, of course) being the orange exterior, white interior, and chromed stylish wheels.
According to the unnamed seller of the car, when the Eldorado was subjected to a restoration process a decade and a half ago, its frame was sandblasted, everything got cleaned, and some parts, like the ball joints and air conditioning, replaced with new pieces of hardware.
We are not informed of any tuning being performed on the convertible, and the engine it hides under the hood seems to be the stock one. That would be the 390ci (6.4-liter) V8, which in this application had a rated output of 345 hp, quite the number for that time.
The unit was rebuilt during the work conducted years ago, although the specifics of what needed replacing are not provided. Just like when it was born, the car still uses an automatic transmission.
The 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is apparently listed by Mecum with a reserve, but we are not told how much that is. The car is scheduled to go under the hammer on Saturday, June 11.
For reference, valuation company Hagerty places a concours-condition Eldorado Biarritz from the same year at $228,000. This one is not quite there, but I wouldn’t put it past it to eventually sell for a low six-digit sum. | https://www.autoevolution.com/news/1960-cadillac-eldorado-biarritz-was-stashed-away-50-years-ago-aged-like-wine-190224.html | 2022-06-02T14:46:34Z | https://www.autoevolution.com/news/1960-cadillac-eldorado-biarritz-was-stashed-away-50-years-ago-aged-like-wine-190224.html | true | 1 |
Border Patrol agents responded to the scene at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and helped take down the gunman who shot and killed 19 students and two teachers on May 24, authorities say.
Law enforcement in Uvalde have faced extensive criticism for their delayed response to the shooting. Officers took more than one hour to kill the gunman, and that lapse in time will likely be a key part of a U.S. Department of Justice investigation, the Associated Press reported.
A Facebook post shared more than 90,000 times claims Border Patrol Agent Jacob Albarado, who was off-duty and about to get a haircut when the shooting occurred, “went into the school despite the police chief who ordered all to stand down.” The post goes on to claim that Albarado rescued his daughter, wife and other children at the elementary school, and shot and killed the gunman along with another off-duty agent.
Another tweet claims that Albarado killed the shooter. VERIFY reader Julie sent the Facebook post to the team and asked: “Is this true?”
THE QUESTION
Did off-duty Border Patrol Agent Jacob Albarado shoot and kill the Uvalde school shooter?
THE SOURCES
- Comments from Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw during May 25 press conference
- Marsha Espinosa, Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for the Department of Homeland Security
- CBS News interview with Border Patrol Agent Jacob Albarado
- TODAY show interview with Albarado
THE ANSWER
No, off-duty Border Patrol Agent Jacob Albarado didn’t shoot and kill the Uvalde school shooter. He did rush to Robb Elementary School and helped law enforcement evacuate children.
WHAT WE FOUND
Off-duty Border Patrol Agent Jacob Albarado didn’t shoot and kill the 18-year-old gunman inside Robb Elementary School. A tactical team made up of Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers ultimately “breached the classroom door” and killed the gunman at the scene, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said during a press conference on May 25.
Albarado confirmed during an interview with CBS News that he did not shoot the gunman at Robb Elementary School, though he did help evacuate students from the building.
“I didn’t shoot the guy. I wasn’t in the room with him, shooting the guy. I never said I shot him, so I’d like to clarify that as well,” he said.
In an earlier interview with TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, Alabarado clarified that he did not confront the gunman in the elementary school, either.
“At one point…I was there at the door, fixing to go in. But, once again, I didn’t have any of my gear. It wouldn’t have been a smart move for me,” he told Guthrie. “All those guys had their gear and stuff so, like I said, I pulled back.”
Border Patrol agents and other officers faced gunfire from the shooter when they entered the school building, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Marsha Espinosa said in a tweet on the day of the shooting.
“At least one Border Patrol agent was wounded by the shooter during the exchange of gunfire,” Espinosa wrote. “On-and-off duty Border Patrol agents arrived on the scene to assist with transferring students safely to their families and providing medical support.”
The authorities who shot and killed the gunman have not been named.
Though Facebook has flagged the widely shared post as “missing context,” other details included in it are accurate, according to Albarado’s account of the day.
Albarado was off-duty and about to get a haircut when he and his barber received text messages about the shooting, he told CBS News. He said his wife, who teaches fourth grade at Robb Elementary, texted him, “Active shooter. Help. I love you.” Alabarado’s daughter also attends the school, he said.
Though he was off-duty, Albarado asked the barber if he had a gun, which he did, and both of them rushed to the elementary school – where his daughter was locked in a restroom, he said.
Once he made it to the scene, Albarado said he let police know he was there and helped to evacuate students. His wife made it to safety before he arrived.
“I said, ‘We need to get the kids out here,’” Albarado told CBS News. “The shooter’s over there. We need to get the kids out. This is our time.”
Officers began opening classroom doors, and Albarado continued helping students to safety, he said.
“First classroom, second classroom, third classroom, saw my daughter. Relief. Big relief,” he added.
While he was evacuating students, Albarado didn’t know where the shooter was, he told Guthrie.
VERIFY also reached out to the Texas Department of Safety and Border Patrol’s sector in Del Rio, Texas for comment but has not received a response at the time of publishing.

Africans See Inequality in Monkeypox Response Elsewhere
June 1, 2022
(Associated Press) – As health authorities in Europe and elsewhere roll out vaccines and drugs to stamp out the biggest monkeypox outbreak beyond Africa, some doctors acknowledge an ugly reality: The resources to slow the disease’s spread have long been available, just not to the Africans who have dealt with it for decades. Countries including Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, the United States, Israel and Australia have reported more than 500 monkeypox cases, many apparently tied to sexual activity at two recent raves in Europe. No deaths have been reported. (Read More) | https://bioethics.com/archives/63461 | 2022-06-02T14:50:33Z | https://bioethics.com/archives/63461 | false | null |
BURLINGTON, Vt., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- There has been a spate of hateful, anti-trans legislation being pushed in states across the nation. Right now, over 20 states have active legislation that seeks to marginalize the LGBTQ+ community in various ways. Two particular states have made actual progress on passing such legislation: Texas and Florida.
In Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared that gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth should be classified as child abuse. Governor Abott directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate families that are lovingly supporting and seeking care for their trans children—turning a state agency that's supposed to protect children into a body actively promoting their harm. This is criminalizing parents who are creating a safe and loving home for trans children. The other 18 states are pushing similar malicious legislation.
In Florida, Governor DeSantis' passed the so called "Don't Say Gay" legislation which effectively erases any discussion of LGBTQ+ related topics from the classroom, further marginalizing trans-youth. Florida didn't stop there. The state legislature also recently passed the "Stop WOKE Act" (HB 7/SB 148) which would limit protected speech in workplaces with more than 15 employees and in classrooms by essentially making it impossible to have an honest dialogue about gender.
As part of Ben & Jerry's ongoing body of work around advancing justice for those in the LGBTQ+ community, we are collaborating with our long-time partner, the National Center for Transgender Equality, who have asked for businesses to stand up loudly in clearly in support of the trans community.
The week of May 23rd, we will erect billboards in the capital cities of four of the states near the respective state houses that are most aggressively pushing these egregious bills: Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. These communications will focus on pushing our fans to support the Equality Act, a piece of federal legalization that aims to provide consistent and explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service. Learn more about it here: https://www.hrc.org/resources/equality
"We are working to raise awareness around these regressive policies that are meant to disempower the LGBTQ+ community across our country," said Matthew McCarty, Ben & Jerry's CEO. "We will strive to use our corporate voice to share that Trans rights ARE human rights."

The Latest Attacks on the Trans Community
Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we wanted to provide an update regarding the latest attacks on the trans community, and a bit of context on what Ben & Jerry's is doing about it.
As folks are likely aware, there has been a spate of hateful, anti-trans legislation being pushed in states across the nation. Right now, over 20 states have active legislation that seeks to marginalize the LGBTQ+ community in various ways. Two particular states have made actual progress on passing such legislation: Texas and Florida.
In Texas - where their Attorney General Ken Paxton declared that gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth should be classified as child abuse - Governor Abott directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate families that are lovingly supporting and seeking care for their trans children—turning a state agency that's supposed to protect children into a body actively promoting their harm. This is criminalizing parents who are creating a safe and loving home for trans children.
In Florida, Governor DeSantis' passed the so called "Don't Say Gay" legislation which effectively erases any discussion of LGBTQ+ related topics from the classroom, further marginalizing trans-youth. Florida didn't stop there. The state legislature also recently passed the "Stop WOKE Act" (HB 7/SB 148) which would limit protected speech in workplaces with more than 15 employees and in classrooms by essentially making it impossible to have an honest dialogue about gender (and also includes topics of race and racism).
The other 18 states are pushing similar malicious legislation. It also is worth mentioning that while our home state isn't pushing these types of policies at the legislative level, we've been dealing with our own spell of concerning activity including the murder of a trans woman in Morristown, vandalism of the Pride Center in Burlington, and continued hateful messages and actions of local GOP legislators.
So what are we doing about it? As part of our ongoing body of work around advancing justice for those in the LGBTQ+ community, we are collaborating with our long-time partner, the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), who have asked for businesses to stand up loudly in clearly in support of the trans community.
On May 23rd, we will have billboards in the capital cities - near to the state houses - of four of the states most aggressively pushing these egregious bills: Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. The billboards will all be variations on the above example.
Locally, we will compliment the Pride Group's amazing support of the Pride Center with a full page ad in the Seven Days reminding Vermonters that while our state may not be pushing regressive legislation, we must not ignore the fact that the similar vile rhetoric we're seeing in many southern states is beginning to find a home in Vermont politics. We must continue to stand with our friends and neighbors on this critical issue.
This effort will be accompanied by social media and press outreach that week in an attempt to amplify the story and drive further awareness about this issue. All of these communications will focus on pushing our fans to support the Equality Act, a piece of federal legalization that aims to provide consistent and explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people across key areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service.

At 36 years old, Dayro Moreno continues to make a difference in Colombian professional football in which he is the current BetPlay Dimayor League scorer with 11 goals. The one born in Chicoral, Tolima, is the banner in front of the Atletico Bucaramanga who yesterday defeated Junior de Barranquilla 2-0 at the Alfonso López for date 2 of Group A.
Precisely, one of the many was converted by Dayro Moreno, who arrived for this semester at the eleventh Leopard after passing through Bolivian football in which he defended the colors of the Oil Eastwhere he only converted four touchdowns.
The truth is Dayro Moreno’s goalscoring record is impressive, the striker has a total of 295 goals to his credit, 186 of which he has converted in the domestic championship and occupies the eighth place in the table of historical scorers of coffee football. In addition, he is five goals away from breaking the 300-goal barrier, a figure that has only been achieved by Víctor Aristizábal (346) and Radamel Falcao García (338).
However, before signing with Atlético Bucaramanga Dayro Moreno was in the deck of other Colombian professional soccer teams who finally declined their intention to sign the former gunner Talleres de Córdoba.
It may interest you: “The young people who have been demonstrating will surely contribute to the people who already have experience”: Cucho Hernández
According to the player’s representative, Álvaro Muñoz Castro, to the portal Smoke Free Zonethe attacker had everything arranged with Deportivo Cali, but finally the directives of the Azucarero team opted for the Argentine Agustín Vuletich.
“Because of Dayro with Deportivo Cali, it was already squared even economically for him to come to the club, but they decided on a better option. They reviewed and decided on Vuletich, I imagine that this has to go through the technical command”
In the same way, he stated that América de Cali was also interested in having the services of the former Once Caldas, but things apparently did not happen at the express request of Juan Carlos Osorio, coach of the Cali team at the time. “You have to ask teacher Juan Carlos Osorio of (sic) why Dayro didn’t come to America, it would be good to ask him. I don’t really know what basis he had for not coming to the club”.
“Mauricio Romero in an interview spoke of Dayro’s non-arrival in America, but that was redirected, the one who lowered his thumb was Juan Carlos Osorio,” he said.
Likewise, the businessman indicated that today footballers over 30 are looked down upon when they still have a lot to give. “I don’t think Dayro’s thumb has been lowered because of his age, what happens is that in the world it is very common to call 30-year-old players ex-players, it is very common to use it pejoratively.”
“We are respectful of what was signed with Atlético Bucaramanga, it was done for one year. If the club, the project and if the player agrees, it would lend itself to a negotiation.
Next Saturday, June 4, Dayro Moreno hopes to continue on the scoring path when Bucaramanga hosts Atlético Nacional at their stadium for matchday 3 of the league’s home runs, in which they hope to add the three points to continue fighting for reach the end.

Govt's policies will lead country towards bankruptcy: Imran Khan
- Former premier says will announce future course of action during Dir rally
Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Thursday that the country is facing a financial crisis and could go bankrupt due to the policies of the incumbent government, Aaj News reported.
Addressing a public gathering in Shangla, Imran Khan criticised the government's decision to increase the prices of petroleum products by Rs30 per litre, saying that the decision would bring uncontrollable inflation.
“This government cannot buy oil from Russia at 30% lower prices because the United States does not permit them to do so,” Khan said, adding that if the government does not purchase cheap oil, they would have to increase oil prices once again, which would be devastating for the economy.
“Our government wanted to strike a deal with Russia, but it was overthrown with the help of a regime change scheme,” the former premier said.
Imran will come to Islamabad from Peshawar soon: Qureshi
In his message to the military establishment, the PTI chief said: “You wanted to remain neutral, let it be, but the nation knows that real power in the country rests with you. History will not forgive you if you remained neutral when the country is slipping towards bankruptcy owing to policies of the incumbent rulers.”
He lamented that the incumbent government is bent on ruining the state institutions including the police.
“They are conspiring with support of the Election Commission to rig the next elections and trying to ruin democracy in the country,” he said.
Will announce next rally after Supreme Court's verdict: Imran Khan
The premier said that he would announce his future course of action during his next public gathering in Dir and asked the nation to prepare for getting independence from the corrupt ruling elite.
“We are getting prepared to rid the nation of people who are part of this imported government,” Khan said, asking participants to get ready for his call to march toward Islamabad.
He lauded that people have proved during the PTI’s long march that they are independent and are not afraid of brutal tactics adopted by the government.
“The people stood their ground despite extreme shelling through expired tear-gas during the long march towards Islamabad to convey their message that they would not accept slavery and imported government,” he said.

The technology sector saved the TSX from ending in the red in 2020 with its whopping annualized return of 80.9%. In 2021, the sector (+18.3%) dropped to fifth place after energy (+41.8%), financials (+31.6%), consumer staples (+20.6%), and telecommunications (+19.1%). Only healthcare out of the 11 primary sectors had a losing year.
As of May 30, 2022, technology (-33.58%) is the second worst-performing sector after healthcare (-36.88%). The acknowledged leader, Shopify, is down by 72.06% year to date. Other tech giants like Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD)(NYSE:LSPD) and Nuvei (TSX:NVEI)(NASDAQ:NVEI) also underperform.
However, the battered pair seems to be picking up steam after short-seller reports caused their share prices to plunge late last year. While LSPD (-32.95%) and NVEI (-17.45%) remains in negative territory year to date, the former advanced 11.49% in the last five days, while the latter gained 4.94%. With momentum on their side, a breakout could be around the corner.
Flagship offerings
Lightspeed, a $5.1 billion one-stop commerce platform, had a forgettable fiscal 2022 (year ended March 31, 2022), despite the 147% and 218% growth, respectively, in total revenue and transaction-based revenue versus fiscal 2021. The net loss widened 132% to $288.4 million compared to the prior fiscal year.
Nevertheless, management looks forward to a better fiscal 2023. In Q4 fiscal 2022, total revenue and transaction-based revenue rose 78% and 88% year over year, respectively. However, the net loss reached $114.5 million compared to the $42 million net loss in Q4 fiscal 2021.
JP Chauvet, Lightspeed’s CEO, said, “Consumers are once again dining out and shopping in person, filling up restaurants and stores in cities and neighborhoods all around the world.” He added that the shift back to in-person shopping and dining helped drive another strong quarter of operating performance.
Management sees its two flagship offerings as growth drivers. Lightspeed Retail is a groundbreaking retail commerce platform that unites advanced POS, payments, and e-commerce into one cohesive and powerful solution. Lightspeed Restaurant is gaining strong momentum.
Chief Financial and Operations Officer Brandon Nussey said, “As we look ahead, we are committed to our path to profitability and have the growth levers to get us there.” Market analysts covering LSPD have a 12-month average price target of $61.12, or a 78.45% gain from $34.25.
Full-blast marketing campaign
Market analysts are bullish on Nuvei and recommend a buy rating. Based on their forecasts, the share price could climb between 58.1% (average) and 127.1% (high) in one year. The tech stock currently trades at $67.68 per share. In Q1 2022, revenue and total volume increased 43% and 42% versus Q1 2021.
The good news for the quarter was the 35% and 40% year-over-year increase in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, respectively. Notably, free cash flow increased 36% to US$82.5 million. Nuvei launched its largest-ever marketing campaign in May 2022 completed to build greater brand recognition and awareness and drive new business.
For 2022, the $9.56 billion payment platform projects total revenue between US$940 million and US$980 million. Last year, Nuvei’s revenue topped US$720 million.
Comeback trail
Lightspeed and Nuvei are on the comeback trail, which is good for the broader market. Either one could replace Shopify as the TSX’s tech superstar. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/02/the-breakout-of-2-hard-luck-tech-giants-could-be-near/ | 2022-06-02T14:55:27Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/02/the-breakout-of-2-hard-luck-tech-giants-could-be-near/ | true | 1 |
Speller reinstated into National Spelling Bee after appeal
By BEN NUCKOLS
Associated Press
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — A speller has been reinstated into the Scripps National Spelling Bee field after successfully appealing that he was denied relevant root information about a word.
Surya Kapu, a 13-year-old from South Jordan, Utah, misspelled “leucovorin” — a medicine used to counteract the side effects of a cancer drug — during Wednesday night’s last semifinal round, appearing to end his run in the bee just short of the finals.
Surya’s family appealed, arguing that Scripps omitted details when he asked a question about the word’s roots. Spellers are permitted to ask questions about roots, and judges answer in the affirmative if a speller can identify a relevant root and its meaning.
Scripps said in a statement its judges met for roughly two hours before deciding late Wednesday night to reinstate Surya.
“The judges’ decision to reinstate is backed by a belief in the bee’s mission to inspire the exploration of words and celebrate academic achievement,” the statement said. “Upon further review, it was determined that there was more directly relevant information available in the dictionary to one of the speller’s questions. Based on this, Surya will be provided a chance to participate in Round 7 with a new word.”
What that means in practice: Surya will get his new word at the beginning of Thursday night’s finals. If he spells that word correctly, he will join the 12 finalists who have already advanced to compete for more than $50,000 in cash and prizes.
Surya has an accomplished spelling resume and is a pupil of Cole Shafer-Ray, the 2015 runner-up who coached last year’s champion, Zaila Avant-garde.
Reinstatements are rare but not unprecedented. The last happened in 2018 when a competitor spelled a word’s homonym correctly without having been given the definition or told that a homonym existed.

Circuits split on whether derivative Section 14 claims are subject to Delaware Court of Chancery forum bylaws
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
June 2, 2022 - On May 13, 2022, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that a corporate bylaw requiring stockholders to bring derivative claims in the Delaware Court of Chancery could be applied to claims brought derivatively under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). (See Lee v. Fisher, No. 21-15923, 2022 WL 1511322 (9th Cir. May 13, 2022)). The 9th Circuit's decision creates a split with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on the issue. (Compare id., with Seafarers Pension Plan ex rel. Boeing Corp. v. Bradway, 23 F.4th 714 (7th Cir. 2022)).
While the 9th Circuit's approach to this question is persuasive, until the split is resolved, litigants will continue to dispute whether Delaware Court of Chancery bylaws can be applied in lawsuits asserting derivative Section 14(a) claims, and derivative plaintiffs may shop for jurisdictions taking the 7th Circuit's side in the split.
Like many Delaware corporations, The Gap, Inc.'s bylaws contain a forum selection clause requiring stockholders to file "any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation" in the Delaware Court of Chancery. In Lee v. Fisher, notwithstanding this forum bylaw, Gap stockholder Noelle Lee brought a putative derivative action against the company's directors in the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California, alleging that the board had permitted the company to violate Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by making false statements in proxy statements filed with the SEC about the level of diversity the company had achieved.

Lee argued that the forum bylaw requiring adjudication in Delaware state court could not be enforced against her because federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over Section 14(a) claims under the Exchange Act. Therefore, enforcing the bylaw would prevent her from bringing a derivative Section 14(a) claim in any court. The district court rejected this argument and dismissed Lee's suit.
The 9th Circuit affirmed. The court held that no provision in the Exchange Act — including its provisions prohibiting contracts that waive compliance with the Exchange Act, and giving federal district courts exclusive jurisdiction over Exchange Act claims — articulates a federal policy against enforcing forum selection clauses because such enforcement might leave stockholder plaintiffs with no forum to bring derivative Section 14(a) claims.
The court reasoned that Lee failed to demonstrate that "she could not get any relief in the Delaware Court of Chancery" if she could not bring a derivative Section 14(a) claim. Therefore, enforcing the forum bylaw would not leave her without a forum to bring a derivative claim and redress alleged injury to the company.
As the 9th Circuit acknowledged, the decision in Lee is contrary to the 7th Circuit's recent decision in Seafarers Pension Plan ex rel.Boeing Corp. v. Bradway.
In Seafarers, Boeing moved to dismiss a derivative Section 14(a) claim based on a Delaware Court of Chancery forum selection bylaw that was nearly identical to The Gap's. The district court granted the motion, but the 7th Circuit reversed. The 2-1 panel majority held that Delaware Court of Chancery forum selection bylaws cannot be enforced when a plaintiff brings derivative Section 14(a) claims for two principal reasons.
First, the majority held that Delaware law does not permit forum selection bylaws to apply to claims subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction. The court cited legislative history for Delaware General Corporation Law Section 115 — the statute authorizing forum selection bylaws — stating that Section 115 was "not intended to authorize a provision that purports to foreclose suit in a federal court based on federal jurisdiction."
Second, the majority held that allowing Boeing's bylaw effectively to foreclose derivative Section 14(a) claims would be contrary to federal policy, which disfavors contractual provisions that purport to prospectively waive liability for federal statutory violations. In reaching this conclusion, the court rejected Boeing's argument (later accepted by the 9th Circuit) that enforcing the bylaw would not impair stockholder rights because the stockholder could bring state law fiduciary duty claims asserting the same theory as the stockholder would pursue in bringing a derivative Section 14(a) claim.
The court distinguished prior cases holding that forum selection clauses can require securities plaintiffs to bring their claims in foreign countries as long as adequate remedies would be available under foreign law. The court concluded that those cases only apply when the forum selection clause specifies a foreign forum, and that the adequacy of state law remedies is not a sufficient reason to enforce a forum selection bylaw that limits the availability of federal claims.
Although the 7th and 9th Circuits' dueling opinions raise issues on which reasonable minds could disagree, the 9th Circuit appears to have the better of the argument. To start with, the 9th Circuit is likely correct that Delaware Court of Chancery bylaws do not meaningfully diminish stockholder rights just because they may preclude a stockholder from bringing a derivative Section 14(a) claim.
A derivative Section 14(a) claim asserts that the corporation's directors and officers harmed the corporation by making misleading disclosures in a proxy statement filed with the SEC that led stockholders to approve a decision that damaged the corporation. Such a suit seeks to force the directors and officers to pay the corporation damages for the value it supposedly lost when stockholders approved the harmful decision.
Stockholders frequently litigate this same basic type of claim in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the law of fiduciary duties, and that court is fully capable of ordering relief sufficient to compensate the corporation for any harm it may have suffered.
Therefore, because the stockholder has the option to raise the same theory seeking the same recovery through a derivative claim for breach of fiduciary duty that he or she would bring in a derivative Section 14(a) claim, it is hard to see how the stockholder loses anything substantial by being required to bring all derivative claims in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Indeed, to the contrary, enforcing forum selection bylaws benefits all stockholders by concentrating derivative litigation in a single forum, which eliminates the waste associated with duplicative multi-forum litigation.
The 7th Circuit considered the availability of adequate alternative state law remedies irrelevant, because the Exchange Act prohibits any contract "binding any person to waive compliance with any provision" of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78cc(a), and the court considered Boeing's bylaw to function effectively as a waiver of derivative Section 14(a) claims. But it may be going too far to treat Delaware Court of Chancery bylaws as de facto waivers, given that the corporation could likely obtain the same recovery for the same injury in the Court of Chancery as it could obtain by suing in federal court under Section 14(a).
Moreover, it is not clear that the 7th Circuit was correct in concluding that Delaware law prohibits forum bylaws that apply to derivative Section 14(a) claims. As the 7th Circuit accurately noted, DGCL Section 115 was "not intended to authorize a provision that purports to foreclose suit in a federal court based on federal jurisdiction."
But, as Judge Frank H. Easterbrook argued in his dissent in Seafarers, a Delaware Court of Chancery bylaw does not prevent a stockholder from bringing a direct Section 14(a) claim in federal court to remedy his own injury from a misleading proxy statement. Nor does the bylaw prevent the corporation from bringing a direct Section 14(a) claim in federal court to remedy any injury it may have suffered.
While a Delaware Court of Chancery bylaw might prevent a stockholder from bringing a derivative Section 14(a) claim in the corporation's name without its consent, the right to bring derivative claims is a function of state, not federal, law. (See Kamen v. Kemper Fin. Servs., Inc., 500 U.S. 90 (1991)). Therefore, it is difficult to see how enforcing a Delaware Court of Chancery bylaw "foreclose[s] suit in a federal court based on federal jurisdiction." (DGCL Section 115)
In light of the split between the 7th and 9th Circuits, litigants will certainly continue to dispute whether Delaware Court of Chancery bylaws may be applied in cases where the plaintiff brings a derivative Section 14(a) claim, and other appellate courts may be called upon to weigh in on the issue. It will be interesting to study whether this split leads to overt forum shopping by stockholders seeking jurisdictions that follow the 7th Circuit's approach. | https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/circuits-split-whether-derivative-section-14-claims-are-subject-delaware-court-2022-06-02/ | 2022-06-02T15:12:44Z | https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/circuits-split-whether-derivative-section-14-claims-are-subject-delaware-court-2022-06-02/ | false | 1 |

June started the same way May ended for the Dodgers in the minor leagues, with three of the four teams losing. Just like Tuesday night, there was a pair of standouts on the mound, one on the winning and one that received no support in a loss.
Hitter of the Day
Andy Pages hit his sixth homer of the season for Tulsa, going 2-for-3 with a single and walk to go with the long ball.
Andy Pages pounds one deep into the night.

The No. 4 @Dodgers prospect kicks off June with a resounding homer for the @TulsaDrillers: pic.twitter.com/Gj97hx7nW4
The 21-year-old has quickly turned his season around after a slow start, hitting safely in 15 of his last 17 games. Pages has raised his average from .216 to .248 in that stretch, going 19-for-62 (.306) with 10 extra-base hits.
Pitcher of the Day
Kendall Williams turned in his best start of the season, pitching a career-high six innings while allowing just one run on three hits and two walks to go with three strikeouts.
Kendall Williams tossed a career high 6.0 innings for Great Lakes, and he did it on just 73 pitches. He kept the ball on the ground today, getting 9 ground outs vs just 3 outs in the air. He allowed one run on three hits and two walks, and struck out three⬇️ pic.twitter.com/HoYHAY0yPM
— Josh Thomas (@jokeylocomotive) June 2, 2022
After a shaky debut for Great Lakes back on May 1, Williams has settled in to allow just six runs over his last five starts.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
It was a former Dodger that beat up his old club and did all of the damage on offense for both sides Wednesday. Willie Calhoun hit two homers and Oklahoma City had trouble scratching anything across, falling 4-0 to Round Rock (Rangers).
Andre Jackson looked more like the pitcher that led the big club to give him a look last year, tossing six innings of one-run ball. The right-hander worked around five hits and three walks to hold Round Rock to just a solo homer from Calhoun in the sixth.
Calhoun struck again in the eighth with a three-run homer that put the game out of reach for the Dodgers who struggled to string hits together.
There were opportunities for OKC in the middle innings with multiple runners on in each of the fourth through sixth including three straight walks to load the bases in the fourth. The timely hit never came and OKC wouldn’t be able to erase the goose egg from their side of the scoreboard.
Josh Sborz — another former Dodger — pitched two scoreless innings for Round Rock to earn the win.
Double-A Tulsa
The Drillers fought back to tie the game late on the Pages two-run homer in the eighth but would eventually drop their third straight game in the 11th inning. The ghost man on second came around to score the winning run for San Antonio (Padres) on the first pitch of the inning, a single for Thomas Milone to send Tulsa to a 4-3 loss.
It wasn't as if the Drillers didn’t have their opportunities to win the game. Tulsa loaded the bases in each of their last three at-bats without scoring a single run.
After Tulsa took an early 1-0 lead on a Leonel Valera single, San Antonio took a 3-1 lead in the third when they hit three homers in the span of four batters, the last of which came on an inside-the-park variety off the bat of Domingo Leyba.
The two clubs traded runs over the next two frames to make it 4-2 and it would remain that way until Pages tied it in the eighth. Tulsa was issued two walks in each of the final three innings on their way to leaving the bases loaded, giving the Missions every chance they could to end it in the home half.
High-A Great Lakes
The Loons didn’t need much on offense in support of Williams’ strong outing, allowing just the one run. Fort Wayne (Padres) wouldn’t have a hit after the fourth inning as Great Lakes sailed to a 3-1 win in front of the home crowd.
The early 1-0 advantage went the way of the TinCaps Wednesday, with Jarryd Dale single in a run in the third. But Great Lakes quickly took control of the game on a two-run homer in the bottom of the third for Jorbit Vivas and Imanol Vargas solo shot just an inning later.
Braydon Fisher and Ryan Sublette followed Williams with three shutout innings between the two to close the door on the game.
Top prospect Diego Cartaya made his debut for the Loons, going 1-for-2 with two walks out of the cleanup spot.
Low-A Rancho Cucamonga
The Quakes fell behind early and didn't start digging themselves out until it was much too late, dropping a 12-3 game to Lake Elsinore (Padres).
Rancho fell behind early when starter Ronan Kopp allowed two runs in the first before giving way to the bullpen. Jhan Zambrano came on for the second and allowed the first two runners to reach on a hit batter and a bunt before Albert Fabian slugged a three-run homer to start the rout.
For anyone with hopes that the Quakes would climb back in the game, those thoughts were shattered when Justin Farmer hit a grand slam for Lake Elsinore.
By the time Rancho put three on the board in the seventh, they were already down 10-0 and the Storm would tack on two more in the ninth when Fabian hit his second homer of the night, a two-run shot to give him five runs driven in on the night to help bury the Quakes.

CHICAGO - Six aprons down, fourteen to go! This week’s round of audition battles comes fast and furious! Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Aarón Sánchez have a lot of returning chefs to judge and only 40 minutes of screen-time. So let the battles commence!

"MasterChef" Back to Win Round 1: Seventh place winners
All four contestants this round (Willie, season 5; Derrick, season 2; Tommy, season 6; Micah, season 10) ended their "MasterChef" careers at lucky number seven and are clamoring for another shot at glory. Willie’s come back with a killer set of purple shades and a Cajun-poached halibut; when Gordon asks him why he’s picked such a difficult protein? "Because I’m a difficult guy!" he quips back.
MASTERCHEF: A contestant in MASTERCHEF airing Wed. June 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX
Meanwhile, Micah, whose narrative in season 10 largely revolved around his lack of confidence and familial support, comes back strong and assured this season with a gastropub-friendly yuzu ricotta fritter with blackberry gin sauce and chocolate sand(!).
But really, the food (and style) winner here is Tommy, the 59-year-old Vietnamese fashion designer turned food ambassador who shows up with a kickin’ yellow blouse and a quail-in-a-nest dish. "I’m going to treat this quail like haute couture," he promises Gordon. (Line of the night: Joe trying to take the quail’s wishbone from Tommy, who retorts, "You don’t get to touch my wishbone!")
WATCH FREE ON TUBI: "The French Chef with Julia Child"
The critiques are fairly friendly, most dishes passing muster with one or two notes (Willie’s dish needed lime, Derrick didn’t cook out his cornstarch enough), but the real tragedy comes with Micah’s fritters, which are raw in the middle. That said, Joe did say that it "looks like a dish from outer space," so his plating has still come a long way. Willie and Tommy get the aprons and move on to the main competition.
"MasterChef" Back to Win Round 2: Two pairs of past-season pals
Next up are two sets of contestants who competed in their respective seasons: season eight’s Cate (a hunter) and Daniel (a substitute teacher), as well as kitchen porter Michael and Army interrogator Sarah, both from season 10.
Like Brandi in the last episode, Cate’s a country girl shooting for a smoked venison dish, while Sarah goes for a strange Mexitalian fusion in the form of a duck breast paired with a green pipián mole and balsamic honey glaze. The smoking gun gets a real workout this round, as three of the four contestants add smoky elements to their dishes; Cate scrambles to get hers going, but she’s only got ten seconds left, so she gives up.
MASTERCHEF: L-R: Contestants with Aaron Sanchez in the MASTERCHEF episode airing Wed. June 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX
That doesn’t seem to matter though, as she gets some of the best critiques of the night. "Did it even need to be smoked?" Gordon asks, and by the look of the gorgeous sear on those mushrooms, the dish was delicious enough as-is. Sarah fared a bit worse, though, as her balsamic glaze and green mole predictably clash. Lucky for Michael, his filet mignon survives the dreaded MasterChef doneness test; Joe actually murmurs "Oh wow" when he bites in, as authentic a response as you can find on the show.
WATCH FREE ON TUBI: Acclaimed food documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"
Yeah, Aarón thinks the leeks don’t add anything, but Gordon backs up Joe’s rapturous response to the beef. And suddenly, he and Cate have two white aprons. (Shoutout to Danny, though, one of the only contestants to work the crowd up as he cooks. We’ll miss his energy.)
"MasterChef" Back to Win Round 3: Speed round
This episode squeezes in one more round than the other audition showcases and pulls it off by zipping through this round at a lightning-fast pace. We hear from contestants like cowboy Newton (whose hot sauce is a bit too hot for the judges; cut to Aarón’s quivering lip), soft-spoken Bowen Li (whose filet potstickers receive rapturous praise), and season 6 firebrand Stephen, who gifts the judges "rabbit and donuts" and theatrically falls to his knees in relief when Joe tells him his dish is "psychedelic."

Dramatic? Maybe. But it’s classic Stephen with all his signature intensity. He and Bowen naturally advance to the competition.

"MasterChef" Back to Win Round 4: The kids are alright
This is the round "MasterChef" fans have really been waiting for — three former "MasterChef Junior" contestants, competing to see whether they have what it takes to play in the big leagues. And judging by their bona fides, they all certainly make a case. Season 2’s Dara, notorious for her adorable bows that season, has packed up the cute accessories and earned a culinary degree. Season 5’s Shayne "The Train", the Texan with a big mullet and a bigger smile, is now a college student who works at a Vietnamese restaurant. And season 4’s Tae-Ho has studied at the Culinary Institute of America.
WATCH FREE ON TUBI: Lidia Bastianich (Joe’s mom!) welcomes you to "Lidia’s Kitchen"
All three put in a stellar showing. Tae-ho’s "sleeping beef" (a New York strip resting under sheets of yuzu dashi pasta) is good, even though it’s more on the rare side than the medium-rare he was shooting for. Shane’s Cajun risotto with blackened catfish features clean, clear, robust flavors, though Gordon dings him on the use of a cream sauce: "Cream sauces are for amateurs, and you’re not an amateur." Dara’s Chinese-style steamed cod is a picture of lightness, a bright, clear dish with a scintillating broth that Joe calls "electric." Dara and Shane get in, and we’ve got our first graduates from "Junior." (Right before judging, Tae-ho makes them all promise that whoever gets the apron, this season has to have "a Junior winner." What a gem!)
Next time on "MasterChef": Believe it or not, more auditions.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford will add 6,200 factory jobs in Michigan, Missouri and Ohio as it prepares to build more electric vehicles and roll out two redesigned combustion-engine models.
The company says it will invest $3.7 billion in the three states between now and 2026. It also will convert about 3,000 temporary workers to full-time status with pay raises and benefits.
A factory in Avon Lake, Ohio, near Cleveland, will be expanded so it can build an unidentified new electric commercial vehicle, with 1,800 new jobs. Ninety more jobs will be added in Lima and Sharonville, Ohio.
A plant in Claycomo, Missouri, near Kansas City, that makes big electric and combustion-engine Transit vans will get a third shift of 1,100 workers to handle increased demand.
In Michigan, Ford Motor Co. plans to add 2,000 jobs at three assembly plants, and another 1,200 at other facilities.
A factory in the Detroit suburb of Wayne that now builds the Ranger small pickup will see investment and jobs to make a new Ranger. A plant in Flat Rock south of Detroit will build a new version of the Mustang muscle car that it now builds. And Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn also will see investment and jobs so it can build more F-150 Lightning electric pickups to meet unexpectedly high demand. The company also will add 600 jobs at a new parts packaging facility to be built in Monroe, Michigan, and another 600 at several component plants in the state.

It's part of Ford's plan to be able to make 2 million electric vehicles per year globally by 2026.
Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford Blue, the company's division that makes internal combustion vehicles, said the EV investments are needed in part because Ford underestimated demand for EVs.
As soon as Ford opened reservations for the electric F-150, it began planning to expand the Dearborn plant that makes them, he said. “The reservations were so much higher than the (production) capacity that we had put in,” Galhotra said. “This is the first time in my career that we were expanding the plant before the plant was built.”
Ford stopped taking reservations for the F-150 Lightning at 200,000, and it's now converting reservations to orders. About two-thirds of those contacted so far are converting, but the company said it didn't have an exact number. In addition, the Mach-E and E-Transit vans are sold out for the year, Galhotra said.
Ford wouldn't give details of the commercial EV to be built at the Ohio Assembly Plant by mid-decade. The factory has been on the edge of closure for much of its life but has managed to survive even when building older vehicles.
“I think this tremendous investment, both in dollar terms and jobs, and the type of product we're putting there, shows that the Ohio Assembly plant and that community have a very bright future,” Galhotra said.
Ohio is offering about $200 million in incentives for the Ford investment, while Michigan is contributing about $150 million. Although there will be a small capital investment to add the third shift in Missouri, there are no incentives for this project.
Ford said it already has begun switching the temporary workers to full-time, and it's starting to hire the new workers for the plants.
The announcement came a year ahead of when contract talks start with the United Auto Workers union. New product and job announcements normally are part of the negotiations.
Ford also pledged to spend $1 billion over the next five years to improve the work experience at its factories. The company is working with the UAW to determine the needs, which could include better lighting in parking lots for safety and healthier foods in the factories.
Ford's decision to build three battery plants and one new assembly plant in Kentucky and Tennessee last year raised questions about the company's manufacturing commitment to its home state and region.
Michigan politicians worked hard to lure General Motors EV assembly and battery plants in January after losing the Ford plants to the southern states.
UAW officials praised Thursday's Ford announcements in a company statement. “Ford stepped up to the plate by adding these jobs,” President Ray Curry said.
It's likely that Ford will build a fourth North American battery factory in the Great Lakes region in a joint venture with SK Innovation of Korea, but Galhotra said he's not ready to make an announcement yet.
At the pace Ford is moving with EV production, more production will be needed, Galhotra said, pointing to the Michigan site where the electric F-150 is being built and the commercial EV to be built in Ohio. “We'll have more announcements to come,” he said.

Report: Israel arrested no Jews over violent, racist march
An Israeli newspaper says Israeli police arrested dozens of Palestinians, but no Jews, during a Jewish nationalist parade in which crowds of marchers chanted racist slogans, beat Palestinian residents and vandalized Palestinian property in east Jerusalem
Report: Israel arrested no Jews over violent, racist march
Show all 3Israeli police arrested dozens of Palestinians but no Jews during a nationalist march through Jerusalem this week in which crowds of Jews chanted racist slogans, assaulted Palestinians and vandalized Palestinian property, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
Israeli police had said after Sunday’s march that over 60 people were arrested, but have refused to give a breakdown, despite queries by The Associated Press. The Haaretz daily reported Thursday that it checked arrest records name by name, and found that no Jews were among those detained. It said two Jews were arrested in a separate, related incident.
Tens of thousands of Israeli nationalists participated in Sunday’s parade -- an annual march that celebrates Israel’s capture of east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war. Palestinians consider the event a provocation.
Israeli police cleared out the area for the marchers, who passed through a Palestinian neighborhood before proceeding to the Jewish Quarter of the Old City to pray at the Western Wall.
Large crowds, many of them young Orthodox Jewish youths carrying Israeli flags, gathered at the entrance to the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, dancing and chanting slogans such as “Death to Arabs,” before continuing on their way. Inside the Old City, the marchers pounded on the gates of Palestinian businesses and scuffled with angry Palestinian residents. Videos captured on social media showed marchers spitting, beating and spraying pepper spray at Palestinians and journalists.
Fights broke out along the route, as police mainly intervened to protect Jews and forcibly disperse Palestinians.
According to the Haaretz report, nearly all of those arrested Thursday were Palestinian. Two Jewish suspects were arrested after the parade in the beating of a Palestinian journalist during unrest outside the Old City, it said. The newspaper compiled the statistics by going through court records in the days after the parade.
Israeli police did not respond to a request for comment. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has said only a small minority of the flag marchers was responsible for the bad behavior and vowed to prosecute anyone who broke the law.
Palestinian residents of east Jerusalem have long complained of a double standard in which Palestinian crowds are frequently arrested and violently dispersed by police with clubs, tear gas and rubber bullets, while Jewish settlers often carry out attacks and vandalism with virtual impunity. Israeli police deny such charges, saying they are merely enforcing the law.
The Old City is part of east Jerusalem, which Israel annexed in a move not recognized internationally and considers part of its capital. The Palestinians want east Jerusalem to be the capital of their future state.
Human rights groups say that discriminatory treatment of Palestinians in east Jerusalem is part of a broader system that amounts to apartheid. Israel vehemently rejects that label as an assault on its legitimacy rooted in antisemitism.
Israel captured east Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek all three areas for a future independent state. The last round of substantive peace talks broke down over a decade ago.

CLEVELAND, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthy gains in commercial building construction spending from the depressed levels of the COVID-19 pandemic will be a key driver of growth in behind-the-wall plumbing demand through 2025, a new Freedonia Group analysis finds:
- Commercial buildings account for the majority of behind-the-wall plumbing demand, largely due to the extensive fire suppression systems that are typically mandated in the vast majority of nonresidential structures.
- Demand in this segment fell between 2019 and 2020, as COVID-19 restrictions led to the closures of many restaurants and retail establishments, creating a large stock of empty commercial space and hindering new building construction.
- While commercial building construction remained depressed in 2021, it is expected to rebound in 2022 and continue to grow through 2025, boosting demand in such plumbing-intensive structures like as offices, hospitals, hotels, and senior living facilities, and more.
An additional key driver of behind-the-wall plumbing spending in the commercial market will be the increasing construction of new assisted living facilities to support an aging US population, according to the analysis. These structures require large quantities of behind-the-wall plumbing products:
- Many facilities have both large central kitchens (for community meals) as well as separate kitchens in independent living units – thus requiring the installation of several main distribution and DWV lines.
- Bathrooms in these facilities have large numbers of specialty fixtures (such as adjustable showerheads or toilets with elevated seats), which often require additional pipe sections or fittings to connect to plumbing lines.
- Many senior living complexes are located on only one floor; these widespread layouts equate to more (and longer) pipe runs being needed are needed to connect to water and sewer mains.
Behind-the-Wall Plumbing, now available from The Freedonia Group, provides historical data for 2010, 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2021 and forecasts for 2022, 2025, and 2030 for both value and unit behind the wall plumbing product demand by product, application, and market. The study also identifies leading suppliers in key product segments and discusses factors that affect the marketing and distribution of behind-the-wall plumbing products in the US.
The products covered in this study are:
- pipe (plastic and metal)
- fittings (tees, elbows, couplings, pipe supports, other fittings)
- valves
- fire sprinklers
The applications for behind-the-wall plumbing products are:
- fire suppression systems
- distribution
- drain, waste, and vent (DWV)
- radiant flooring systems

England dismiss New Zealand for 132 on opening day of Lord’s Test
New captain Ben Stokes saw all 10 of the tourists’ wickets tumble inside 40 overs
England began the Ben Stokes era with a bang, dismissing New Zealand for just 132 on day one of the first Test at Lord’s.
Led for the first time by the captain-coach pairing of Stokes and Brendon McCullum, with new director of cricket Rob Key also watching on, England enjoyed a glorious start to the international summer at the home of cricket.
Stokes had publicly declared his side were working from “a blank canvas” following a dismal sequence of one victory in 17 attempts and promptly saw all 10 of the tourists’ wickets tumble inside 40 overs.
England’s record wicket-taker, 39-year-old James Anderson, and Durham’s 23-year-old debutant Matthew Potts took four each as the combination of experience and fresh blood paid off in spades. Stuart Broad, returning alongside Anderson at Stokes’ insistence following their controversial dropping in the West Indies, also struck and the skipper wrapped the innings himself by picking up last man Trent Boult.
The only black mark on proceedings came for the luckless Jack Leach, who suffered a concussion early on after an awkward landing in the field. Lancashire leg-spinner Matt Parkinson was summoned from Manchester and will make his debut as England’s first-ever concussion substitute.
Home openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley then reached 19 without loss before tea to sow the seeds of what should be a significant lead.
Stokes’ first act as the country’s 81st Test captain was to lose the toss, but everything else fell into place as the old firm of Anderson and Broad dominated the opening exchanges.
Both had vowed to win back their places after being axed for the Caribbean trip in March and Anderson took just seven deliveries to show the folly of that decision. Challenging Will Young with just enough swing from a full length, he took the outside edge that zipped through low towards third slip.
Jonny Bairstow leapt into action, diving low to his left to pull off a one-handed stunner. The Yorkshireman juggled the next attempt Anderson sent his way but clung on at the second attempt to see off Tom Latham and make it two for two.
Not to be outdone, Broad was rewarded for a consistently attacking length when Devon Conway – a double centurion on this ground last summer – nicked one through to give Bairstow his third catch in a row.
The early breakthroughs laid an ideal foundation for Potts to take over and made a superb case for the next generation. He struck gold with his fifth delivery in the international arena, with Kiwi captain and star batter Kane Williamson edging low to keeper Ben Foakes to leave his side in disarray at 12 for four.
Williamson is short of form and Potts has been flying in Division Two, but it was still a significant scalp. His first spell stretched to eight impressive overs as he grabbed another two before the lunch break, Daryl Mitchell (13) playing into his own stumps and Tom Blundell (14) losing his off stump to one that nipped back.
The interval came with England rampant at 39 for six, with New Zealand playing a few riskier shots after the restart. That approach allowed them to nudge up beyond three figures, Colin de Grandhomme’s unbeaten 42 and a chancey 26 from Tim Southee helping swell the total, but the hosts remained in control.
Anderson had Kyle Jamieson and Southee caught hooking at fine leg to finish with four for 66, with Potts snaring Ajaz Patel lbw with the first ball of his second spell. He was forced to leave the field with cramp before he could make it onto the Lord’s honours board, with Stokes taking over to bring things to a close.

Which skateboard helmet is best?
Wearing a skateboard helmet could save you from a head injury in a bad fall, so it’s important to choose one that offers the right level of protection. It doesn’t matter if you’re just learning to cruise or dropping into bowls — it only takes a simple mistake to do serious damage.
A good helmet for skateboarding offers protection over repeated impacts and should be certified to prove this. Triple Eight The Certified Sweatsaver Helmet is a top choice for skaters of all levels.
What to know before you buy a skateboard helmet
Impact protection
The whole point of a skateboarding helmet is to protect the wearer’s head from impact. Helmets have outer shells usually made of ABS, a tough thermoplastic polymer that acts as the first line of defense when the wearer’s head takes a knock. Inside this is a thick layer of EPS foam, which has impressive shock-absorbing properties to further protect against head injury.
Dual-certified
In order to be sold in the U.S., skate helmets must meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission bike helmet standard. However, there isn’t a U.S. federal standard specifically for skate helmets.
While it isn’t required, a quality skate helmet should also meet the ASTM International requirements relating to skate helmets. These standards require the helmet can stand up to multiple impacts. Helmets that meet both sets of requirements are known as dual-certified.
Size
You can find helmets in a range of adult and child sizes. It’s important that you get the correct fit because a too-small helmet is uncomfortable, and a too-large helmet is unsafe. Since sizing varies between brands, you should refer to the sizing chart before buying. You’ll need to measure the circumference of your head with a cloth measuring tape and then compare it to the sizing chart.
What to look for in a quality skateboard helmet
Color or print
Most manufacturers make helmets in a range of solid colors. These range from basics, such as black, white and gray, to bold hues, including bright red, fluorescent yellow and hot pink. You may also choose matte or gloss finishes in some colors. Helmets are also available with prints or graphics on them.
Ventilation
Ventilation holes are essential in skate helmets. Otherwise, your head gets unbearably hot as you skate. These holes are specially designed and positioned so they don’t affect the structural integrity of the helmet.
Moisture-wicking liner
Some helmets contain moisture-wicking pads or liners. These absorb moisture while leaving a dry surface next to the skin, so you don’t feel as uncomfortable when your head starts to sweat.
How much you can expect to spend on a skateboard helmet
Basic helmets start at around $20-$30, while high-end offerings cost as much as $50-$75. It isn’t worth saving money by purchasing a helmet that isn’t dual-certified.
Skateboard helmet FAQ
Should you wear a skateboard helmet?
A. You might have noticed that not all skateboarders wear helmets, but it’s always advisable. They might make your head sweat and sometimes look slightly dorky, but they can save your life in a serious fall.
Experienced skaters don’t always wear them for street skating or flatground tricks because they know when to bail and how to fall, but it’s still risky. Even if you know what you’re doing, it’s best to wear a helmet, but it’s essential for beginners or skaters riding vert ramps or bowls.
What’s the difference between a skateboard helmet and a bike helmet?
A. The main difference between a skateboard helmet and a standard bike helmet is their impact protection. Bike helmets are designed to offer protection from one serious impact, while helmets for skateboarding stand up to continuous smaller impacts.
You should always replace a bike helmet after a fall in which you hit your head. But this wouldn’t be practical for skateboarding because frequent falls are part of the sport. Therefore, skate helmets are designed differently, so they offer protection time after time.

Which cotton throw blanket is best?
No matter what time of year it is, you can make yourself more comfortable with a cozy throw blanket. Throw blankets come in various materials, but cotton throw blankets are always a safe bet. They’re soft, breathable and easy to launder. And since cotton is naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, it’s an ideal material to provide an extra layer of comfort.
Finding the right blanket depends on how and where you want to use it, as well as what style, size and color you prefer. One of the best cotton throw blankets is the Pre-Washed Organic Muslin Cotton Throw Blanket. Its cozy, waffle-square pattern gives it a classic design that’s perfect for any decor style.
What to know before you buy a cotton throw blanket
Versatility
Throw blankets are great multipurpose items for your home. They can be decorative additions to complement the decor in your living room or bedroom. You can even mix and match your throw blankets with throw pillows to complete a color or design scheme.
Throw blankets are also functional, especially if you want to stay warm while sitting on the couch in the winter or relaxing on the porch during a cool summer evening. You may even want to use one as an extra layer for your bedding.
Size
Throw blankets typically aren’t big enough to fit a mattress, but they still come in various sizes. One of the most common sizes is 50 inches by 60 inches, but you can find smaller or larger ones for other purposes. However, even the largest throw blanket won’t cover more than one person.
What to look for in a quality cotton throw blanket
Color and design
Cotton throws are popular, so you should have no problem finding them in just about any color. You can also find them with different designs and patterns if you want to add some texture to your room’s decor.
Edging
The edging of cotton throws varies. Hemmed blankets are common, but you can also find throws with tassels and fringe if you’re looking for something with a little more style. Pay attention to care instructions for blankets with edging, as these may require more delicate washing.
How much you can expect to spend on a cotton throw blanket
You can find quality cotton throw blankets for between $30-$60. Small, basic cotton throw blankets cost around $10, while luxury blankets can cost over $200.
Cotton throw blanket FAQ
What’s the best way to wash a cotton throw blanket?
A. You should always follow the care instructions for your cotton throw blanket. It’s best to wash in a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners because they can stiffen the fabric over time. Then, tumble dry at a low temperature.
How many throw blankets should I have in one area of the house?
A. Every room and design scheme is different, but a good rule of thumb is to keep things asymmetrical and in odd numbers. For example, if you have two pillows, you’ll want one blanket. If you have three pillows, you’ll want two blankets. If you want people to have access to multiple blankets, consider storing them in a basket.
What size throw blanket should I buy?
A. If you’re selecting a blanket for a couch, you want it to be bigger, so it stands out and won’t slip between the cushions. It’s best to use smaller throws when you want to add color and texture. You’ll want a larger, more throw if you plan on people using it to stay warm.

Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction upheld by appeals court
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York appellate court has upheld Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction, rejecting the disgraced movie mogul’s claims that the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced him by allowing women to testify about allegations that weren’t part of the criminal case.
The ruling Thursday by a five-judge panel in the state’s intermediate appeals court affirmed the milestone verdict in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures — an era that began with a flood of allegations against Weinstein.
Weinstein, 70, is jailed in California, where he was extradited last year and is awaiting trial on charges he assaulted five women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills from 2004 to 2013.
Weinstein was convicted in New York in February 2020 of a criminal sex act for forcibly performing oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actress in 2013.
He was acquitted of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault stemming from actor Annabella Sciorra’s allegations of a mid-1990s rape.
The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault unless they speak publicly about their allegations, as Sciorra has done.

Power returned after several French substations cut by striking workers
The Corbieres and Beaucouze substations that provide power in eastern France returned online around 1200 GMT after going offline at 0930 GMT due to "malicious acts," RTE said. "Power was cut to about 175,000 homes in and around Angers at the height of the outage," RTE said.

Several substations supplying power to approximately 260,000 people in France have come back online after they were targeted by striking workers, power grid operator RTE said. The Corbieres and Beaucouze substations that provide power in eastern France returned online around 1200 GMT after going offline at 0930 GMT due to "malicious acts," RTE said.
"Power was cut to about 175,000 homes in and around Angers at the height of the outage," RTE said. The details are currently under investigation, RTE said in an email to Reuters.
The Beuvry substation in northern France was also taken offline in a separate action around 2130 GMT on Wednesday, causing the loss of power to 85,000 homes before it was corrected at 2340 GMT. RTE said they "strongly condemn inadmissible acts whose consequences on the functioning of the electricity system can be dramatic."
Complaints are expected to be filed, they added. A spokesman for trade union CGT declined to comment.

Former pupils at Ayrshire school take a trip down Memory Lane in reunion bash
The big get-together on Friday, May 27, saw the classes 1961, 1962 and 1963 meet up again in what proved to be a great night.
A total of 51 former pupils of Ayr Academy held a school reunion at the Western House Hotel.
The big get-together on Friday, May 27, saw the classes 1961, 1962 and 1963 meet up again in what proved to be a great night with a few trips down Memory Lane.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: “We were all regaled with a brilliant poem penned for the occasion by Derrick McClure MBE, one of the assembled group, who is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Aberdeen University in Scottish Literature and the Scots Language."
And the poem is as follows:
Auld Ayr, wham ne’er a toun surpasses

After a drinks reception and during the wonderful meal, the ex-pupils watched a PowerPoint loop slide show of multiple facets of “The Way We Were” photographs.
The spokesperson said: “The event was the latest of a few similar gatherings by the group and enjoyed by all who attended, coming from all over the country and even from as far away as Canada.
“Two of the old pals were also ex-teachers at the school, and Derrick’s father was the PE teacher in the 1960s.” | https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/former-pupils-at-ayrshire-school-take-a-trip-down-memory-lane-in/ | 2022-06-02T15:51:42Z | https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/former-pupils-at-ayrshire-school-take-a-trip-down-memory-lane-in/ | true | 1 |
Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the first overall pick in the 2014 draft, continues to sign one-year deals. His latest single-season contract is his second in a row with the Browns.
Here’s a look at the actual details of the deal, from a source with knowledge of the full terms:
1. Signing bonus: $8 million.
2. Base salary: $1.25 million, fully guaranteed.
3. Per-game roster bonus: Up to $750,000.
4. Sixty-five percent playing time and seven sacks: $500,000.
5. Sixty-five percent playing time and 10 sacks: Another $500,000.
So it’s a deal with $9.25 million in guarantees. To get to $10 million, he needs to be on the active roster for all 17 regular-season games. To get to $11 million, he needs to participate in 65 percent of the defensive snaps and register 10 sacks.
For context, his career high in sacks is 9.5.
So it’ll take some work, durability, and production to get to $11 million. If he has that kind of a season, he’ll likely set himself up for the kind of long-term contract that has otherwise eluded one of the most disruptive defensive players of the past decade. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/06/02/inside-the-jadeveon-clowney-contract/ | 2022-06-02T15:53:10Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/06/02/inside-the-jadeveon-clowney-contract/ | false | 1 |
PESCADERO, Calif. (AP) — A quick-thinking custodian safely confined a curious cougar in an empty classroom after it entered a Northern California high school Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The custodian was opening Pescadero High for the school day when the juvenile mountain lion was spotted, said Detective Javier Acosta with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office. No students or teachers were on campus at the time, Acosta said.
“The mountain lion casually walked through campus and decided to go into an English classroom,” he said. “The custodian acted quickly and managed to shut the door behind it.”
Acosta said the animal, estimated to be about 40 pounds (18 kilos), appeared “lost and scared.”
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife tranquilized the cat and sent it to the Oakland Zoo for examination.
The underweight male was estimated to be 4 to 6 months old and had a fractured tooth that will need to be extracted before the cat can be released back into the wild, KTVU-TV reported.
Pescadero is a small coastal community about 35 miles (56 kilometers) south of San Francisco. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/weird-news/mountain-lion-corralled-in-northern-california-classroom/ | 2022-06-02T15:53:29Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/weird-news/mountain-lion-corralled-in-northern-california-classroom/ | false | 28 |
As fun as the Academy Awards can be, it's no secret that they don't always get things right. Too often, one or more nominated films are better (or at least more interesting) than the film that ends up winning. It's something people generally accept, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a little whine about it.
To be fair, it is still something that the following 10 films earned nominations for Best Picture. That's better than not being in the running at all, and a list covering all the best films that didn't win and weren't nominated would need to have far more than 10 entries. Still, these are 10 notable nominated films that came close to winning Best Picture yet ultimately didn't, but should have.
Goodfellas (1990)
If Goodfellas isn't Martin Scorsese's very best movie, then it's definitely one of them. It tells the story of Henry Hill and his life as a low-ranking member of the mafia, covering all the ups and downs (though mostly downs) that come with the criminal life.
With a relentlessly quick pace, great visuals, so much style, a killer soundtrack, and great performances from all of its cast (including the late, great Ray Liotta in the lead role), Goodfellas should have been a shoo-in for the 1990 Best Picture. It lost to Kevin Costner's Dances With Wolves, though. While that film's far from bad, it hasn't endured quite as much as Scorsese's classic.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction is perhaps the most iconic film from Quentin Tarantino, which is saying something, considering how memorable, unique, and wild his filmography is. Plot-wise, it involves three darkly comedic and crime-related short stories that all intersect and cross over in interesting ways.
1994 was an amazing year for movies, so Pulp Fiction not winning the top prize at the Oscars doesn't sting too much. Admittedly, Forrest Gump is a very good movie, but it's not quite Pulp Fiction. At the end of the day, the main thing is that only one of them features John Travolta dancing and accidentally shooting people in the head.
The Social Network (2010)
David Fincher made several great films before The Social Network, including Se7en, Fight Club, and the underrated Zodiac. The Social Network is just as good as those - arguably better - so this dramatic retelling of how Facebook was created would have been the perfect film to award to honor Fincher's contributions to film.
Beyond that, it was also undeniably of the very best films released in 2010. Unfortunately, the Academy Awards went for the solid but less memorable The King's Speech, presumably because the voters tend to prefer historical films set decades ago, rather than mere years. Maybe Fincher's upcoming The Killer will finally net him a Best Picture Oscar?
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Stanley Kubrick was a director who was criminally overlooked by the Academy Awards. Despite being one of the most beloved filmmakers of all time, he never won an Oscar for Best Director, and none of his films ever won Best Picture. At least Dr. Strangelove got a nomination for Best Picture; it's better than nothing.
Still, while 1964's winner, My Fair Lady, is a good (though slightly overlong) musical, Dr. Strangelove is arguably the greatest Cold War film of all time, and one of the most critically acclaimed comedies ever. On top of that, where else will you see Peter Sellers delivering three iconic performances all within a single 94-minute movie?
Fargo (1996)
The Coen Brothers did earn a Best Picture win for 2007's No Country For Old Men, but that award was overdue. They really should have won for Fargo, which is a classic film that expertly blends comedy, crime, suspense, and even some heartwarming romance all into one tightly paced and brilliantly made film.
Once again, it should be stressed that the movie that won instead (in 1996, The English Patient) is not terrible; just not as good, and definitely not as timeless, with the benefit of hindsight. Fargo is one of the smartest movies ever made about a cast full of (almost entirely) stupid people, and even with four TV seasons that share its name and aim to capture its look and feel, it still feels totally unique.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Is it any question that Mad Max: Fury Road was undoubtedly 2015's best film? It blew minds when first released, and continues to blow minds today, taking everything that worked in the first three Mad Max movies and pushing all of it to the extreme, making for one of the most exciting and beautiful action movies ever made.
Spotlight won in 2015, and told an interesting and important story about a group of journalists in Boston uncovering and exposing systemic child abuse within the Catholic Church. It's really on the opposite end of the spectrum to Fury Road, then, and it makes them hard to compare. But in the years since, nothing has captured the energy and gleeful craziness of Fury Road, and it would have been cool to see such a gonzo film take home the top prize at the Oscars, too.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
It's hard to pick a favorite Steven Spielberg movie, but E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial would have to be up there. It's a heartwarming, funny, bittersweet movie about the bond between a boy and an alien stranded on Earth. Considering how the Oscars rarely award or even nominate science-fiction films, maybe Spielberg's classic snaring a nomination should be enough.
It lost the top prize to Gandhi, which was a decent biopic elevated by a great Ben Kingsley lead performance, and it wasn't surprising that it won over E.T. As such, the fact it couldn't make history as the first science-fiction film to win Best Picture is only a mild "ouch".
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The Lord of the Rings did end up earning a Best Picture win in 2003, when the third installment in the iconic trilogy, The Return of the King, won 11 awards, including the top one. But it's a shame The Fellowship of the Ring didn't win too, as it might be the most satisfying single film in the trilogy, kicking off the Fellowship's journey to rid Middle Earth of evil once and for all in expert fashion.
It's also worth noting that it was a much stronger film than 2001's actual winner, the decent but definitely not great A Beautiful Mind. It's ensured that 2001 is certainly one of those years where a Best Picture nominee has ended up more memorable than the Best Picture winner.
Raging Bull (1980)
Easily one of the best biopics of all time, Raging Bull is not your average boxing movie. Featuring Robert De Niro as his most intense and ferocious, it depicts the life of Jake LaMotta, who was just as violent and aggressive in his day-to-day life as he was in the ring.
It's one of several Martin Scorsese movies that was nominated for Best Picture and deserved to win, but didn't. In 1980, it was up against the (admittedly pretty good) family drama Ordinary People, which certainly deserved a nomination, but perhaps not the top prize. Still, win or no win, Raging Bull endures to this day as a sports movie masterpiece.
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Perhaps the biggest gap in quality between a Best Picture winner and a nominee was for the year 2005. Bafflingly, the blunt and aggressively simplistic Crash (which shouldn't have been nominated in the first place) won over Brokeback Mountain, an expertly-acted, artistically daring (for its time), and beautifully shot film by famed director Ang Lee.
It seems like the general consensus (and then some) that Brokeback Mountain was the best nominee for that year, but apparently, the Oscar voters felt otherwise. It's a shame, but at least it's well-remembered. And it does hold up far better than Crash, which tries to tackle serious subject matter in clumsy, awkward, and even borderline offensive fashion. | https://collider.com/10-great-films-that-were-nominated-for-best-picture-didnt-win-but-deserved-to/ | 2022-06-02T15:53:46Z | https://collider.com/10-great-films-that-were-nominated-for-best-picture-didnt-win-but-deserved-to/ | false | 1 |
LA LIMONERA – Esmeralda Domínguez was about 100 yards from home when soldiers and police blocked her on a small bridge. The authorities had waited there for hours. Dominguez, neighbors said, was the only person they stopped.
Her aunt, who lived nearby, protested. Dominguez was no criminal, she insisted, rattling off the community organizations her niece led or was involved in. It didn't matter.
“We know what we’re doing,” a soldier told the aunt before loading the young woman into a truck. It rumbled off, leaving her black motorcycle beside the road.
That was April 19. No one in her family has seen her since.

Over the past 10 weeks, El Salvador’s security forces have arrested more than 36,000 people since the congress granted President Nayib Bukele the power to suspend some civil liberties to pursue powerful street gangs. Lawmakers extended those powers by another 30 days last week as public opinion polls showed broad popular support.
However, a growing number of the arrests — like Dominguez's — appear arbitrary or unjustified, human rights groups allege.
Cristosal, a nongovernmental organization, has documented more than 500 cases of arbitrary arrests since the state of exception was imposed March 27, according to its director Noah Bullock. Amnesty International said Thursday that its investigators found that thousands of people had been arrested without legal requirements being met.
Bukele sought the expanded powers after El Salvador’s street gangs killed dozens of people in late March. Two weeks into the mass detentions, the president acknowledged that there could be an “error” of 1% of those arrested not having any ties to the gangs. Even that seemingly small number suggests authorities are not making arrests based on investigations, critics say. His office declined to comment.
Now, under the new powers, authorities do not have to give a reason to those being arrested. Detainees can be held 15 days without seeing a judge and without access to lawyers.
When those arrested do finally get a lawyer, the public defender’s office is overwhelmed. Tens of thousands of new cases have piled atop the existing caseloads of only about 250 public defenders nationwide.
Domínguez’s family and some 50 others in the area appear to be among the first to organize in an effort to free their relatives. The families have made filings with the courts known as habeas corpus, which order that someone in custody be brought before a court and places the burden of proof on the government. Cristosal has been helping with many of those cases, including Domínguez’s.
The most common crime attributed to those arrested, including Domínguez, is illegal association for allegedly belonging to a gang. Judges have been practically automatic in ordering arrestees held for six months at the request of prosecutors despite little or no supporting evidence, according to a Cristosal report. Judges have ordered nearly 26,000 people held in jail, prosecutors say.
In April, a police union said that some commanders under pressure to meet arrest quotas were pushing their officers to do anything necessary to make arrests, including giving false statements tying people to gangs. And last month, three police agents were arrested when they went to collect money they had demanded in exchange for not arresting someone.
Just hours before Domínguez was detained, Bukele wrote on Twitter — above photos of shirtless gang members with faces and torsos blanketed in tattoos — that authorities had arrested more than 13,000 “terrorists.” Those following the president’s social media feed would not imagine Domínguez — a mother of two, including a 4-month-old daughter — would soon figure in the soaring arrest tally.
José Lazo Romero, a lawyer with the Brother Mercedes Ruíz Foundation, a Christian social justice organization with which Dominguez worked, said he knew of at least 15 cases similar to hers in the area, including three young men arrested on their way home after playing soccer and a disabled person taken away by authorities.
“It’s said that he who has nothing to hide has nothing to fear,” Lazo said. “Now people who precisely have nothing to hide fear being arrested, fear being taken to jail, being sent to prison.”
___
The region is known as Bajo Lempa, the alluvial plains southeast of the capital near where the Lempa river empties into the Pacific Ocean. These lowlands flood almost annually when the Lempa overflows and spills across agrarian communities like the one where Domínguez grew up.
Many of the people here have fled conflict before during the civil war in the 1980s — to Panama, to Nicaragua, to other parts of El Salvador. After the 1992 peace accord, many sympathizers of the leftist Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, or FMLN, were resettled here. María Dolores García, Domínguez’s 55-year-old mother and an FMLN supporter to this day, was one of them.
García was a childhood survivor of the Quesera Massacre. In October 1981, El Salvador’s military forces, including an elite unit trained by the United States, swept through communities in the area. Several hundred people, many women and children, were killed.
“I experienced all of the suffering of the war," she said, adding: "Today again to be persecuted, it’s not easy.”
Advocates say the vast majority of those arrested come from poor, marginalized communities. The pain is doubly felt by their families, because those arrested were often the breadwinners.
Domínguez was not the first member of her household arrested. Sergio Santos, a farm laborer, her longtime partner and the father of her 4-month-old daughter, was arrested April 9 by police who came to the family’s home and asked García how many men and women lived there. They told her to wake Santos. She said they had a list of names, looked at his ID, said, “’that’s you,’ and handcuffed him.”
Domínguez began daily rounds to the police, to the jail, trying to get information. She was well known in the community and had worked alongside officers at the local police station on a youth program to prevent violence. Her mother said her work hadn’t put her in contact with gang members.
The day she ran into the police, Domínguez had tried to deliver food to Santos and found he’d been transferred to a prison in the capital. Then she, too, was gone.
___
Years ago, the gangs were present here. They recruited the children and grandchildren of former guerrilla fighters.
“Against your will you had to coexist with them here,” said Ricardo Hernández, a 68-year-old neighbor of Domínguez and her family. “They asked for water, you had to give it to them. They asked for anything, you had to give it to them. Even food and money.”
That changed when the government installed two police stations in the area several years ago. The gangs moved into the mangrove swamps closer to the coast, and the police became — and remain — more visible. Now there are no signs of gang graffiti.
With the congress extending the state of exception for another month, more questions have arisen about what led to March’s surge in killings.
Last month, the investigative news site El Faro published phone conversations apparently between gang leaders and a member of Bukele’s government. The recordings indicated the killings — 62 in one day — came in response to the breakdown of a secret deal with the government. Last year, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned two officials, including the one captured in the recordings, saying Bukele’s administration had bought the gangs’ support with privileges for their imprisoned leaders.
Bukele has previously denied negotiating with the gangs, but his only public response to the latest evidence implicating his administration has been a laugh-until-you-cry emoji on Twitter.
Security Minister Gustavo Villatoro said, requesting the extension, that the government wants to eradicate the gangs. “This war," he said, “is going to continue for as long as necessary and to the extent that the public continues to demand it.”
___
On a recent morning, García pulled a sheaf of stamped, signed letters from a plastic bag. All of them attest to Dominguez’s community activism — from organizations she’d led or worked for, organizations that advocated for women, promoted community development and pushed for chemical-free farming.
In a court hearing on May 2, where dozens of detainees were arraigned en masse. the judge ordered Domínguez to six more months of pre-trial detention. Garcia had given the letters to a public defender, but the judge never saw them.
In the arraignments that Cristosal has witnessed, judges face anywhere from 50 to more than 500 detainees at once. The judges are also, generally, not admitting documents like those García collected that speak to the character of those facing charges.
“The evidence being brought against these people are what we would describe as general statistics, not necessarily any information that links individuals to criminal activity,” said Bullock, Cristosal's director.
In another case, a woman arrested in 2019 on an illegal association charge after a gang member mentioned her name in a tapped phone conversation was arrested again under the state of exception. Cristosal, which is helping her, contends that she was arrested and charged for a second time for the same circumstances in her 2019 case. Her family said there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
Other stories have emerged of people who just completed or nearly completed a prison sentence being picked up again on the same charges. Such arrests suggest that the government is using lists of people who have had contact with the criminal justice system, even if absolved, in making detentions.
In La Limonera, about 200 yards from the family’s home, across a clearing, Domínguez farmed a plot to help feed the household. On a recent day, weeds were crowding out the neat rows of tomatoes and pineapples.
García says suddenly finding herself the primary caretaker for two children, including an infant who had been breastfeeding, turned her life upside down. Domínguez and her partner are in jail, as is the father of Domínguez’s 12-year-old daughter, who had been lending some financial support.
García has relied on donations to keep the children fed. She frets about the plants dying in her daughter’s unattended garden. “It has impacted everyone here in the community because everyone knows her,” García said. “She was the head of the family.”
And what will become of people like Dominguez? Under the current rules, there's no way to know. Said Bullock: “There is a very uncertain future for people who are in this black hole of a justice system.”

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has sent a letter to the United Nations formally requesting that his country be referred to as “Türkiye,” the state-run news agency reported. The move is seen as part of a push by Ankara to rebrand the country and dissociate its name from the bird, turkey, and some negative connotations that are associated with it.
Anadolu Agency said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, confirmed receipt of the letter late on Wednesday. The agency quoted Dujarric as saying that the name change had become effective “from the moment” the letter was received.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government has been pressing for the internationally recognized name Turkey to be changed to “Türkiye” (tur-key-YAY) as it is spelled and pronounced in Turkish. The country called itself “Türkiye” in 1923 after its declaration of independence.
In December, Erdogan ordered the use of “Türkiye” to better represent Turkish culture and values, including demanding that “Made in Türkiye” be used instead of “Made in Turkey” on exported products. Turkish ministries began using “Türkiye” in official documents.
Earlier this year, the government also released a promotional video as part of its attempts to change its name in English. The video shows tourists from across the world saying “Hello Türkiye” at famous destinations.
The Turkish presidency’s Directorate of Communications said it launched the campaign “to promote more effectively the use of ‘Türkiye’ as the country’s national and international name on international platforms.”
It was not clear whether the name, with a letter that doesn’t exist in the English alphabet, will catch on widely abroad. In 2016, the Czech Republic officially registered its short-form name, Czechia, and while some international institutions use it, many still refer to the country by its longer name.
Turkey’s English-language state broadcaster TRT World has switched to using “Türkiye” although the word “Turkey” slips in by journalists still trying to get used to the change.
TRT World explained the decision in an article earlier this year, saying Googling “Turkey” brings up a “a muddled set of images, articles, and dictionary definitions that conflate the country with Meleagris – otherwise known as the turkey, a large bird native to North America – which is famous for being served on Christmas menus or Thanksgiving dinners.”
The network continued: “Flip through the Cambridge Dictionary and “turkey” is defined as “something that fails badly” or “a stupid or silly person.”
TRT World argued that Turks prefer their country to be called “Türkiye”, in “keeping with the country’s aims of determining how others should identify it.” | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/turkey-no-more-country-seeks-to-change-name-to-turkiye/ | 2022-06-02T15:58:17Z | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/turkey-no-more-country-seeks-to-change-name-to-turkiye/ | true | 43 |
Former Arm CEO brings deep industry experience and leadership to the rapidly growing machine learning solutions company
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Edge Impulse adds a distinguished technology leader to its team with the appointment of Simon Segars to its board of directors.
Segars most recently served as CEO of Arm from 2013 to 2022. He was one of the first engineers at Arm, having joined in 1991 to work on early chip designs before moving into leadership roles. In his tenure as CEO he grew the company into a powerhouse of compute, with an impact on nearly every market from embedded and mobile to networking and cloud.
Segars has close connections with Edge Impulse, which was founded by former Arm engineers Zach Shelby and Jan Jongboom in 2019. Arm acquired Shelby's prior startup, Sensinode, in 2013 where he subsequently served under Segars in VP-level leadership roles overseeing the development of Internet of Things and machine learning technologies. Shelby also served as the co-founder and CEO of the Micro:bit Foundation with Arm's sponsorship. Edge Impulse COO William DeLey also previously served as Segars' Chief of Staff at Arm.
"It is a huge honor to have Simon join the board of Edge Impulse," said Shelby.

(CNN) – President Joe Biden conceded Wednesday he didn’t understand how big of an effect the shutdown of an Abbott baby formula plant in Michigan and subsequent recalls would have on the baby formula supply until April.

His admission came moments after formula manufacturers told him, during a White House roundtable on the crisis, that they knew immediately how bad the shortages could get. The White House has previously said it had been working on addressing the shortages since February.
Biden, responding to questions about how quickly the administration acted, claimed: “I don’t think anybody anticipated the impact of one facility — of the Abbott facility.” Abbott was not at Wednesday’s event.
“Once we learned of the extent of it and how broad it was, we kicked everything into gear,” he added.
Pressed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on the comments from manufacturers that they knew immediately what the impact would be, Biden responded: “They did, but I didn’t.”
National Economic Council Director Brian Deese worked to explain later Wednesday how the situation had devolved into the current crisis.
Speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead,” Deese faulted Abbott Nutrition as too sluggish in coming to an agreement with the government on steps to reopen its plant, citing the delay as exacerbating the situation.
The top adviser said Biden had been informed of the looming problem once it became clear that Abbott’s facility would not come back online quickly, even though other officials inside the White House had been working on the issue earlier.
“It took too long for Abbott to agree to a consent decree, and once it was clear that that facility was not going to be able to come back online sooner, then it was clear we were going to have a more significant challenge,” Deese said.
“At that point, the President was informed, and he directed us to use all the available tools we had available to address them,” he said.
Multiple formula manufacturers said Wednesday during the roundtable that they immediately knew the effect the Abbott plant shutdown would have on formula supply.
At one point, the President asked Robert Cleveland, a senior vice president with Rickett, if the company was surprised that the Abbott closure had “this profound effect immediately.”
“No, sir, we were we were aware of the general impact that this would have,” Cleveland responded. “From the moment that that recall was announced we reached out immediately to retail partners like Target and Walmart to tell them this is what we think will happen.”
Cleveland said the company told retailers to order the inventory they had on hand and worked with them to push inventory in distribution centers to store shelves.
“And then of course, as the recall has gone on, more specific impacts have been felt. We’ve learned and adjusted to those as well,” Cleveland continued. “But no, we knew from the very beginning this would be a very serious event. I met early on with those CEOs, and they were there they were trying to figure out how they can move quickly.”
Representatives from ByHeart, Bubs Australia, Reckitt, Perrigo and Gerber attended the meeting virtually to update the administration on how they’d scaled up production.
Last month, Biden pushed back when asked if the administration should have reacted faster to the shortages, telling CNN’s Jeremy Diamond: “If we’d been better mind readers, I guess we could have.”

Biden said it was important to “make sure what we’re getting is, in fact, first rate product that’s why the FDA has to go through the process.”
White House struggles to answer questions
Biden’s spokesperson struggled to answer questions on the crisis later on Wednesday afternoon.
The White House previously claimed the administration was working “24/7” on the problem since February when safety issues with Abbott formula products arose, which White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to claim Wednesday despite the President’s comments moments before that he wasn’t aware of the seriousness until April.
“We’ve been working on this issue since day one of the recall,” she told reporters during a press briefing. “The recall happened on February 17. On February 18, USDA issued detailed guidance to states on how to seek waivers in their WIC programs.”
She added that other manufacturers had stepped up production, which she claimed, “wouldn’t happen without the work that we have done for the last three months.”
Pressed by CNN on why the President didn’t know how serious the issue was — even when multiple manufacturers said they did — Jean-Pierre repeated that the administration had “been working on this issue from day one since the recall.”
“What you hear from the President is his frustration with the issue itself, with American families having to deal with and what they’re going through,” she said.
Asked if someone failed to inform the President fully, Jean-Pierre said she hasn’t spoken to him about those comments yet.
“I know that he just said that a few moments ago, so I would have to … to talk to him about the April date,” she said. “But what I can tell you is what he has seen, and this I know for certain, is that seeing the empty shelves is unacceptable.”
Asked if the administration response would have been different if the President knew how serious things were before April, Jean-Pierre responded she was “not saying when the President knew or didn’t know … I know he spoke to that himself. So, I’m gonna let that stand.”
Once again pressed on if the President was unaware of the “around the clock” work, she seemed to admit that was possible.
“I mean, the President has multiple issues crises at the moment,” Jean-Pierre responded. “When he walked into the administration, he talked about the multiple crises that we needed to deal with as a country.”
At one point, Jean-Pierre seemed to change tactics, saying she hadn’t heard the President’s comments.
“You’re asking me to confirm something,” she said, “and I mean, I was in my office. I did not actually hear what the President said.”

Iga Swiatek listened to Led Zeppelin before taking her next step on the stairway to tennis heaven.
The world number one and hot title favourite put in a heavy metal performance to rock Russian Daria Kasatkina and reach the French Open final.
Swiatek, 20, won 6-2 6-1 in just 64 minutes of a one-sided semi on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
She said: “I try to treat every match the same way, and if I realise this is one of the most important matches of the season it stresses me out.
“So I just listen to music – Led Zeppelin, it really pumps me up – and use everything to help me.”
The Paris breeze initially caught Swiatek as she double-faulted the first point, and when Kasatkina scrambled an early break back for 2-2, another tough test looked on the cards.
But Kasatkina won just one more game while Swiatek took 20 of the last 23 points. | https://www.sportinglife.com/tennis/news/iga-swiatek-eases-into-french-open-final-at-roland-garros/201223 | 2022-06-02T16:19:40Z | https://www.sportinglife.com/tennis/news/iga-swiatek-eases-into-french-open-final-at-roland-garros/201223 | true | 6 |
The police have recovered a diary maintained by model-actor Shahana, in which she wrote about the ill-treatment meted out by her husband and family forcing her to contemplate suicide.
Shahana was found dead at a rented house at Parambil Bazar in Kozhikode on May 12.
Her husband Sajjad had stated that she was found hanging. He was later arrested on charges of abetment of suicide and is currently housed in the District Jail.
Shahana's notes reportedly talk about the emotional and physical torture she suffered from her husband Sajjad and his family members, Manorama Online reported.
The diary had been handed over to the investigating officers by Shahana's brother.
Shahana's notes refer to the ill-treatment she suffered after her marriage with Sajjad.
Shahana wrote in her diary: Senju's (Sajjad) umma (mother) wants a servant, not a daughter-in-law. She will only find relief after killing me with repeated complaints. Senju has talked about shifting.
"I have no one. I was beaten a lot for no reason. I came to this house believing in him. But even he didn't understand me a bit. I don't even have the status of a servant in this house. I'm a waste. Even Senju doesn't support me. Senju is not the person I thought he was," Shahana wrote.
Another reference from the diary: "Senju beat me a lot. Senju and his family argued with me. If it continues this way, I won't exist. I thought Senju will be with me. But now, even Senju is not on my side. I'm becoming mental. I haven't told umma (her mother) anything. No one has loved me like my umma."
Kozhikode SP K Sudersan said the findings from the diary will assist the investigation. He said Shahana had mentioned the torture she suffered from her husband and that she would not be able to continue living.
She also alleged that Sajjad played a role in keeping her away from her family. She had also alleged that Sajjad and his family took all her savings from her modelling assignments. According to Shahana's notes, she wasn't even fed properly and they also sold her jewellery. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/02/model-shahana-diary-recovered-she-wrote-about-domestic-abuse.html | 2022-06-02T16:24:21Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/06/02/model-shahana-diary-recovered-she-wrote-about-domestic-abuse.html | false | 2 |
Malomo now supports new, growing and scaling Shopify brands to delight their customers post purchase.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Malomo, the leader in post-purchase shipping experience for Shopify brands like Olipop and True Classic Tees, has expanded their product-line to enable all Shopify brands to build a premium post-purchase shipping experience for their customers. Malomo's 3 new offerings—Malomo Starter, Malomo Plus and Malomo Growth—give Shopify brands the option to choose a shipping experience that fits with their customer needs and development resources.
Until today, marketers have found it difficult to optimize the post-purchase customer experience. Marketers saw the need to prioritize post-purchase marketing tactics, but were met with limited, expensive and resource-intensive applications that didn't solve their unique needs. While the post-purchase experience is only part of the entire customer journey, it's the period when customers are most engaged. In fact, customers check their shipment tracking an average of 4.6 times per order after a purchase. There was a clear gap in the space between customer's expectations after purchase and the reality of what a brand could provide.
Malomo's first-of-its-kind offerings now give Shopify brands the ability to create beautifully designed tracking pages, automate and personalize shipping notifications, and reduce their customer support tickets for any Shopify business.
- Malomo Starter - Created for Shopify brands on Shopify 2.0 that want to quickly and easily add order tracking through their Shopify theme on their own time.
- Malomo Plus - Created for Shopify brands that need a fully customizable tracking experience and have their own resources to build one.
- Malomo Growth - Created for Shopify brands that need a partner to build and improve their entire post-purchase experience.
"Buyers today are anxious and frustrated post-purchase. We're thrilled to offer all Shopify brands the ability to turn those anxious and frustrated buyers into repeat purchasers by providing them a premium post-purchase experience," said Yaw Aning, CEO of Malomo. "We're incredibly excited to offer all Shopify brands a real way to drive additional revenue when customers are excited about their brand."
One Shopify brand that's seen dramatic results from utilizing the Malomo platform is Bokksu, who produces and sells authentic Japanese snacks, candies, and teas sourced directly from centuries-old family businesses across Japan to customers around the world. "I believe Malomo is a must-have for any brand that uses Klaviyo and wants to enrich their customer experience post purchase. We can now communicate with our customers via flows when carrier mistakes happen while also increasing sales at the same time," said Danny Taing, Founder and CEO at Bokksu. "After implementing Malomo, we turned shipment tracking from a cost center to a profitable marketing channel—generating a 19x return on investment in just our first month."

Celtics' Robert Williams listed as questionable for Game 1 of NBA Finals
BOSTON -- There was only one player listed on the Celtics' injury report for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. That one name should come as no surprise: Robert Williams.
The Celtics center will likely have a "questionable" tag the rest of the way as he continues to deal with knee soreness. Celtics head coach Ime Udoka continues to say that Williams' status is a "true day-to-day" situation, so the Boston big man will be a coin flip throughout the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
"It's manageable," Williams said of his injury on Wednesday. "Kind of been getting in a routine the past couple games, what I have to go through to have myself ready to play."
Williams has been a game-time decision for most of Boston's playoff run. He returned from his March knee surgery during the first round, but missed the end of the second round against Milwaukee after he suffered a bone bruise courtesy of a collision with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Williams ended up missing Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, and the Celtics managed his minutes over the final four games of that series.
Williams averaged just over 21 minutes of action over those final four games, and played just 14:42 in Game 7 on Sunday night. The Celtics are hoping that the reduced workload -- plus a few days off between the end of the Eastern Conference Finals -- will help Williams return to something close to his usual form against the Warriors.
"I feel like the reduced minutes helps obviously because with the injury I had, you know, not being able to take the time off, being such an important part of the season, the minute reduction definitely helped," Williams said Wednesday. "Obviously, the couple days between these series helped, too."
Williams is a huge difference-maker for the Boston defense, averaging 1.9 blocks per game this postseason after averaging a career-best 2.2 rejections over 61 regular season games. Even when he doesn't block shots, Williams makes opposing scorers give a little extra thought about attacking the basket.
The Celtics' top-ranked defense will need all the playmakers it can get against the high-powered Warriors. If Williams can't go in Game 1, Udoka will likely opt to go with a smaller lineup with Grant Williams in the starting five alongside Al Horford in the Boston frontcourt.
At least Marcus Smart, who had been nursing an ankle injury throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, was taken off the injury report for Boston. The Warriors listed Gary Payton II (elbow), Andre Iguodala (neck), and Otto Porter (foot) as questionable for Game 1 in San Francisco.
Payton II, who suffered a gruesome fractured elbow in early May, is reportedly on track to dress and be available for Thursday night's game, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. That would give Golden State another talented defender to potentially put on Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown.

When is a carry-on more than just a suitcase? How about when it not only carries and charges your phone but holds your drink for you, as well? The Wrangler Smart Luggage carry-on offers that and more.
This piece of smart luggage has a patented 3-in-1 cup holder that also acts as a USB port and phone holder. This convenient feature is located on the back of the suitcase’s center for convenience while you travel. The item is part of the Travelers Club luggage collection by Wrangler — yes, the same folks that make blue jeans and other western wear.
The 20-inch carry-on is 13. 5 inches long and 11 inches wide. It weighs a hair under 7 pounds when empty and has a 48.7-liter volume. The suitcase has a fully-lined interior with zippered accessory pockets and it expands to give you additional room for packing. Four double-spinner wheels let the carry-on move in any direction.
Right now, the carry-on is on sale in burnt orange for $54.71 on Amazon. The retailer says other colors are only temporarily out of stock.
You can lock and release the recessed handle with one hand by pushing the button. The carry-on also has comfortable top and side handles. The outer shell of the smart luggage is 100% ABS plastic, making it lightweight yet sturdy.
This piece of smart luggage has 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon with more than 3,300 ratings. People who have purchased it like that it is lightweight but can carry an adequate amount of clothing and other necessities. They also appreciate the unique cup holder/USB/phone holder. (It is important to note that a battery pack and cable must be purchased separately to charge any devices using the USB port.)
“It was easy to pack, the USB connection worked, it fit easily in the airplane’s luggage compartment and the cup holder saved my coffee,” wrote one reviewer. “I had multiple bags and needed both hands to manage them and my unfinished coffee. Cupholder to the rescue!”
“After one trip to Hawaii and back, I’m very impressed with this luggage,” wrote another. “It held up well and we had no problem meeting the luggage sizing guidelines enforced by, in our case, Alaska Airlines. The cup holder and charging capability is [sic] convenient and the battery (not included) posed no problem passing through security. Highly recommend.”
The brand also offers a complete three-piece set of smart luggage, which includes a 28-inch large check-in suitcase, a 24-inch medium check-in suitcase and the 20-inch carry-on. Each piece has the 3-in-1 holder on the back. The three items together cost $159 and up. You can also purchase the 28-inch suitcase separately.
The smart luggage comes in four colors: black, burnt orange, navy blue and olive green. Right now, the carry-on is on sale in burnt orange for $54.71 on Amazon.

Track and Field | Morlocks ready for a 'family reunion' at state meet
CRESTON — People from all over Ohio will converge on Columbus this weekend for the state track meet.
Finally going back home to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium for the first time since 2019, many young athletes and their families will hit the interstate with dreams and hopes of standing atop that podium. And it's a safe bet that anyone in the Morlock family will be plugging in that address to their GPS app.
The only question is, who is turning off the lights at Morlock Farms?
Senior Colby Morlock termed the expected migration as a "family reunion", which will no doubt turn into a family memory that will be talked about for years. It simply isn't often that families get to see one child compete for a state title, let alone three of them in Allie Morlock, Colby Morlock and Dillon Morlock.
"It means everything," said Colby. "It's like a mini family reunion at state. It will be pretty fun to have everyone down there and to just watch everyone compete."
Colby punched his second trip to the ultimate destination by winning the discus at the Div. III Perry Regionals, while finishing runner-up in the shot put. The senior just missed tying the area's all-time discus record with a throw of 192 feet, 5 inches, falling one inch shy of Triway thrower Matt Hess' record of 192-6 set in 2002. In shot put, he finished second due to tiebreaker rules with a toss of 62-1. A year ago in his first trip to state, Colby finished third in the shot put with a toss of 57-3.5 and was second in the discus with a toss of 168-3.
"It feels pretty good, but to be honest, I wasn't really expecting anything less from myself this year. I knew my goals coming in and what I wanted," said Morlock. "It is still really special, I am really grateful, it took a lot of hard work, a lot of hours and I think it will finally pay off."
His younger brother Dillon clipped his first trip to state by firing a 60-8 to finish third in the shot put and was third in the discus with a toss of 185-6. A year ago as a freshman, he finished seventh in the discus with a throw of 140-9, was eighth in the shot put with a throw of 40-7- at regionals and left with fuel on his fire.
"I felt like I missed out on it last year. I didn't throw my best at regionals and so this was my goal, what I wanted and I wanted to make it," said Dillon. "Colby was better than me last year, but I felt that I was close to him and that I should have been there. I felt like I sold myself short."
Meanwhile, Allie, who is a cousin of the Morlock brothers, fired her way to second in the shot put with a toss of 40-3.5 and was third in the discus with a toss of 118-6 at the Div. II Youngstown Regional to earn her ticket to Columbus in both events. Getting the chance to see her cousin hit the podium in 2021 lit the competitive fire in her.
"It motivated me a lot," said Allie. "Seeing him there, being able to perform and make podium at a high level, motivated me so much, I wanted that for myself and I wanted to achieve more."
As for what helped her flip that switch this year, it was a lot of self-belief.
"It was believing I can do it," she said. "Everyone pushes me to get better, so I need push myself. I feel that I am extremely motivated, I love it, I really can't say anything more than that. I just tell myself, 'You love this, just go and do it.'"
Putting together hard work and a passion to succeed, the trio has been dominant this year. And they learned those traits from their childhood and working on the family farm.
"We learned the value of hard work growing up on the farm," said Colby. "Most people don't notice it, but sometimes, we get done with practice around six, come home, do chores or whatever around the farm, until eight or nine in the evening. It's a lot, but it definitely gives you another level in a sense of hard work."
Dillon completely agreed as the trio broke up laughing as he talked about the role the two brothers play on the farm.
"Colby drives the equipment," he said. "I do all the hard stuff with my hands on the ground."
Allie talked about it being a family thing and how much it means to her.
"I like that it's here, I love having a farm," she said. "I am not here as much as they are, but I just love that it's here. Our show animals are here and it's a family thing."
Along with the hard work the trio has learned to help each other, no matter the situation, and it's paid off both on the farm and in their throws. With the ability to critique each other through relationships built from long hours of field work or farm work, they push each other. With a fellow Morlock family member coaching them in Bri Indorf (formerly Bri Morlock), the family connection is even stronger.
"For me it's been just taking things a little more seriously and breaking things down," said Allie about her success this year. " (Colby and Dillon) have helped a lot with that and I feel like I am just now starting to get things figured out. I absolutely love it, I mean last year I wasn't really sure about it, but now I am like, 'Okay, this is it, I like this.'"
"There a lot of hours put in behind the scenes that many people don't know about," added Dillon. "We all go through that together, so it brings us closer when we all struggle together."
It all has combined together for a state season for the Morlock family. Compared to the hot, sweaty days on a farm, it's relatively easy for the three of them.
"At least we aren't unloading six wagons of hay in 95-degree weather," said Colby with a smile.
With all of the hard work they've done over the years, the trip to Columbus doesn't seem so daunting.
It's a site that is very familiar for their family as throwing coach Indorf (Morlock) won the Div. III state title in discus in 1998 and her mother Joni Grieve was the state runner-up in the shot put in 1975.
"(Bri) just said to stick to it, don't do anything different than what you would do at a regular meet," said Colby. "She said to stay calm, relax, put your head down and work."
So just like they have done for countless hours on the farm, the Morlock trio will again put their heads down and go to work this weekend, determined to reach the top of the podium.
"This is what you work all year for to compete in," said Dillon. "It's the big show."
From the Morlock Farms of Wayne County to Jesse Owens Stadium in Columbus, the Morlocks are coming, and they are ready to cash in on their big opportunity. | https://www.the-daily-record.com/story/sports/2022/06/02/track-and-field-morlock-family-have-big-presence-columbus/7454828001/ | 2022-06-02T16:34:41Z | https://www.the-daily-record.com/story/sports/2022/06/02/track-and-field-morlock-family-have-big-presence-columbus/7454828001/ | false | 1 |

Stuart Varney: Root cause of inflation 'disaster' is Biden’s policies
Biden points to Fed to fight inflation crisis
During his "My Take" Thursday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney blasted Biden's policies as the root cause of inflation, arguing the president will "do nothing" to fix his policy mistakes as the country grapples with rising prices.
STUART VARNEY: The administration is confused about inflation.
Consumers, and voters, are not. They see it and feel it every day. And they really don't like it.
You'd think the Biden team would take note and respond, but they are tone-deaf.
On the day gas hit yet another record high, the president said, in the short term, there's nothing to be done. Same with food prices.
Basically, you're on your own.
Maybe the president should send in Kamala Harris to find the "root causes" of inflation.
LARRY KUDLOW: A BREAKDOWN OF BIDEN'S 'NON-PLAN' TO FIGHT INFLATION
Better not look too hard: the root cause of this disaster can be found in Biden's policies.
The root cause goes all the way back to day one of this presidency.
Right from the get-go, Biden abandoned energy independence and embraced the spending and printing of trillions of dollars.
That started the inflation ball rolling. And it started way before Putin invaded Ukraine.
RICHMOND FED PRESIDENT BARKIN: RECESSION PREDICTIONS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY CURRENT DATA
Biden will do nothing to correct his policy mistakes.
He won't bring back energy production, and he won't cut spending.
In fact, he's still pushing another trillion in spending and tells us its part of the plan to fight inflation.
How wrong can you be?
US COMPANIES ADDED JUST 128,000 JOBS IN MAY, LOWEST IN TWO YEARS: ADP
As the Wall Street Journal points out today, the inflation debacle is the failure of "progressive" policies.
It’s going to cost the Democrats the House, and perhaps the Senate.

BEIJING, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Children are highly valued in the Chinese culture and viewed as the future of a family. Furthermore, their growth is vital for the future of China, a nation determined to achieve rejuvenation.
International Children's Day, which falls on June 1, is celebrated across China every year. Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday stressed efforts to promote the healthy and all-round development of children and extended festive greetings to children across the country.
Two months ago, Xi compared children to "saplings" when attending a tree-planting activity in Beijing, encouraging them to contribute to the country's development.
"You are like saplings," he said. "You will eventually grow into towering trees in the future and form a forest for the Chinese nation, a forest of talents."
Underscoring China's goal to build a great modern socialist country with Chinese characteristics by the middle of the century, he said, "You have 30 years to go. Now you are 10 years old, and you will be 40 at that time. You will become the pillars of the country."
Xi encourages children to chase their dreams
Xi loves children and always encourages them to chase their dreams.
"A better life for children is our biggest wish," Xi said when taking part in an event ahead of International Children's Day in 2013.
Celebrating the festival in 2014 with students at a primary school, he said children are the future of the country and the hope of the Chinese nation.
"Heroes are cultivated from a young age. The waves behind drive on those ahead. I hope you live with dreams and aspirations," he told the students.
In May 2013, Xi visited a school in Lushan County of Ya'an City, southwest China's Sichuan Province, weeks after a magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck the area. In a prefabricated classroom, he attended a class meeting with pupils and encouraged them to work hard in chasing their dreams.
Nine years later, a former pupil who was in the classroom recalled Xi's words.
"I was sitting in the front row when Grandpa Xi was standing in front of the class. With a smile, he asked what our dreams were," said Luo Yunfang. "I remember my answer was to work as an editor because I love writing. Grandpa Xi was very pleased. He praised us for our imagination."
Luo, now a student at Chengdu University of Technology, said she is making her dream come true.
"I joined the media center of our school and have written a lot of articles. I'm kind of living my dream bit by bit," she said.
China's efforts in protecting children's rights
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, governments at all levels have been providing unprecedented care to children and youth, from ensuring equal access to education and sending teachers to impoverished mountain villages to investing to upgrade facilities in rural areas.
The country has put in place a legal system of more than 100 laws and regulations that comprehensively protect the rights and interests of women and children, according to a white paper released in June last year by the State Council Information Office.
Several laws and regulations have been newly drafted or amended over the past decade to further strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of minors. Two major moves are a revision to the minor protection law, which came into effect on June 1, 2021, and the Law on Family Education Promotion implemented on January 1, 2022.
Meanwhile, China is stepping up efforts to reduce the excessive workloads of students to promote healthy and all-round development.
In July last year, China launched a "double reduction" policy to address the excessive academic burden on primary and middle school students and the over-heated off-campus tutoring.
After the implementation of the new policy, offline off-campus training institutions that offer curriculum subject programs have been reduced by 83.8 percent nationwide, and online training institutions have been reduced by 84.1 percent, data from the Ministry of Education showed.

LA LIMONERA, El Salvador (AP) — Esmeralda Domínguez was about 100 yards from home when soldiers and police blocked her on a small bridge. The authorities had waited there for hours. Dominguez, neighbors said, was the only person they stopped.
Her aunt, who lived nearby, protested. Dominguez was no criminal, she insisted, rattling off the community organizations her niece led or was involved in. It didn’t matter.
“We know what we’re doing,” a soldier told the aunt before loading the young woman into a truck. It rumbled off, leaving her black motorcycle beside the road.
That was April 19. No one in her family has seen her since.
Over the past 10 weeks, El Salvador’s security forces have arrested more than 36,000 people since the congress granted President Nayib Bukele the power to suspend some civil liberties to pursue powerful street gangs. Lawmakers extended those powers by another 30 days last week as public opinion polls showed broad popular support.
However, a growing number of the arrests — like Dominguez’s — appear arbitrary or unjustified, human rights groups allege.
Cristosal, a nongovernmental organization, has documented more than 500 cases of arbitrary arrests since the state of exception was imposed March 27, according to its director Noah Bullock. Amnesty International said Thursday that its investigators found that thousands of people had been arrested without legal requirements being met.
Bukele sought the expanded powers after El Salvador’s street gangs killed dozens of people in late March. Two weeks into the mass detentions, the president acknowledged that there could be an “error” of 1% of those arrested not having any ties to the gangs. Even that seemingly small number suggests authorities are not making arrests based on investigations, critics say. His office declined to comment.
Now, under the new powers, authorities do not have to give a reason to those being arrested. Detainees can be held 15 days without seeing a judge and without access to lawyers.
When those arrested do finally get a lawyer, the public defender’s office is overwhelmed. Tens of thousands of new cases have piled atop the existing caseloads of only about 250 public defenders nationwide.
Domínguez’s family and some 50 others in the area appear to be among the first to organize in an effort to free their relatives. The families have made filings with the courts known as habeas corpus, which order that someone in custody be brought before a court and places the burden of proof on the government. Cristosal has been helping with many of those cases, including Domínguez’s.
The most common crime attributed to those arrested, including Domínguez, is illegal association for allegedly belonging to a gang. Judges have been practically automatic in ordering arrestees held for six months at the request of prosecutors despite little or no supporting evidence, according to a Cristosal report. Judges have ordered nearly 26,000 people held in jail, prosecutors say.
In April, a police union said that some commanders under pressure to meet arrest quotas were pushing their officers to do anything necessary to make arrests, including giving false statements tying people to gangs. And last month, three police agents were arrested when they went to collect money they had demanded in exchange for not arresting someone.
Just hours before Domínguez was detained, Bukele wrote on Twitter — above photos of shirtless gang members with faces and torsos blanketed in tattoos — that authorities had arrested more than 13,000 “terrorists.” Those following the president’s social media feed would not imagine Domínguez — a mother of two, including a 4-month-old daughter — would soon figure in the soaring arrest tally.
José Lazo Romero, a lawyer with the Brother Mercedes Ruíz Foundation, a Christian social justice organization with which Dominguez worked, said he knew of at least 15 cases similar to hers in the area, including three young men arrested on their way home after playing soccer and a disabled person taken away by authorities.
“It’s said that he who has nothing to hide has nothing to fear,” Lazo said. “Now people who precisely have nothing to hide fear being arrested, fear being taken to jail, being sent to prison.”
Advocates say the vast majority of those arrested come from poor, marginalized communities. The pain is doubly felt by their families, because those arrested were often the breadwinners.
Domínguez was not the first member of her household arrested. Sergio Santos, a farm laborer, her longtime partner and the father of her 4-month-old daughter, was arrested April 9 by police who came to the family’s home and asked Domínguez’s mother, María Dolores García, how many men and women lived there. They told her to wake Santos. She said they had a list of names, looked at his ID, said, “’that’s you,’ and handcuffed him.”
Domínguez began daily rounds to the police, to the jail, trying to get information. She was well known in the community and had worked alongside officers at the local police station on a youth program to prevent violence. Her mother said her work hadn’t put her in contact with gang members.
The day she ran into the police, Domínguez had tried to deliver food to Santos and found he’d been transferred to a prison in the capital. Then she, too, was gone.
Security Minister Gustavo Villatoro said, requesting the extension, that the government wants to eradicate the gangs. “This war,” he said, “is going to continue for as long as necessary and to the extent that the public continues to demand it.”
In a court hearing on May 2, where dozens of detainees were arraigned en masse. The judge ordered Domínguez to six more months of pre-trial detention.
In the arraignments that Cristosal has witnessed, judges face anywhere from 50 to more than 500 detainees at once.
“The evidence being brought against these people are what we would describe as general statistics, not necessarily any information that links individuals to criminal activity,” said Bullock, Cristosal’s director.
“There is a very uncertain future for people who are in this black hole of a justice system,” he said.

Government relations specialist Kevin Marino Cabrera raised $291,000 in May toward his bid to represent District 6 on the Miami-Dade County Commission, according to a Thursday press note from his campaign.
Cabrera’s haul last month, combined with gains he made in April, when he announced his candidacy, brings his total holdings to more than $400,000 between his campaign account and political committee, Dade First PC.
That likely places the Miami Republican first in a fundraising contest for the District 6 seat, barring a surprise influx of cash for one of his four opponents. Official campaign fundraising filings are due June 10.
“The amount of support our campaign has received during the last month has been incredible,” Cabrera said in a statement. “We are grateful for the trust the residents of District 6 have placed in us, (and we) are working hard every day, knocking on doors, and listening to our neighbors across the community, so we can bring much-needed perspectives to the County Commission.”
A senior vice president for global public strategy firm Mercury, Cabrera filed for the Miami-Dade Commission race on April 26. He has previously served as an elected Councilman on a Miami-Dade land-use zoning board.
Last month, he received a spate of endorsements from high-profile GOP leaders, beginning May 6 with an announcement from Donald Trump, who gave his “Complete and Total support” to Cabrera’s campaign.
Cabrera worked as Florida State Director for Trump and the Republican National Committee during the 2020 election, when he helped deliver the highest level of registered Republicans in Florida history and secured the state for the former President.
He also received endorsements from Florida Chief Operating Officer and Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis, U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar and future Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez, as well as a nod from Tuesday from the Associated Builders and Contractors, Florida East Coast Chapter.
Cabrera, who is married to Republican state Rep. Demi Busatta Cabrera, faces four opponents in the technically nonpartisan contest: Republican entrepreneur Dariel Fernandez, who owns and operates a software development firm in Coral Gables; Coral Gables City Commissioner Jorge Fors Jr., who launched his campaign this month with an endorsement from Sosa; architect Orlando Lamas, who switched from campaigning for the Florida House to a county bid in March; and Democratic Miami Springs Councilman Victor Vázquez, a lifelong educator and Air Force veteran who filed to run May 10.
District 6 covers a central portion of Miami-Dade, including part or all of the cities of Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens and West Miami; parts of Coral Gables, Hialeah and Miami; and some of the county’s unincorporated area. The district also contains Miami International Airport, one of the county’s top two economic engines, and a Miami golf course being redeveloped as a soccer stadium complex for the city’s Major League Soccer team, Inter Miami CF.
Rebeca Sosa, who currently represents District 6, must leave the 13-member County Commission this year due to voter-approved term limits. | https://floridapolitics.com/archives/529248-kevin-marino-cabrera-campaign-reports-400k-total-raised-toward-miami-dade-commission-bid/ | 2022-06-02T16:41:07Z | https://floridapolitics.com/archives/529248-kevin-marino-cabrera-campaign-reports-400k-total-raised-toward-miami-dade-commission-bid/ | true | 1 |
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) has further clarified the clinical manifestations of undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD). The findings were published as an abstract in the meeting journal of the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2022 Congress.
"We have been interested in studying UCTD because it's commonly encountered in clinical practice but not well characterized," said lead study author Caroline Siegel, MD, a rheumatology fellow at HSS. "UCTD is inherently challenging to define, but it's very important to understand what features differentiate patients with UCTD from those with defined connective tissue diseases (CTD) such as lupus so that we can better manage patients with this condition and ultimately predict who may go on to develop more severe clinical manifestations."
The study included 89 patients aged 18 years and older treated at HSS between 2018 and 2022 who had rheumatologist-diagnosed UCTD with positive antinuclear antibody and at least one sign or symptom of CTD. The researchers reviewed medical records to identify those who fulfilled established classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic sclerosis, primary Sjögren's, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, or antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The researchers compared sociodemographic, clinical, serologic, and treatment variables between 59 patients with UCTD and 30 patients who fulfilled criteria for CTD.
Patients in both groups had similar non-criteria manifestations, most commonly joint pain and fatigue. However, patients with UCTD were less likely to have arthritis, criteria-based hematologic manifestations, anti-double stranded DNA or anti-Smith antibodies, and hypocomplementemia. The frequency of RA, Sjögren's, and APS-related serologies did not differ between groups. Compared to those with CTD, UCTD patients were less likely to have ever received systemic corticosteroids.
"Our main findings were that patients who met a strict definition of UCTD versus those who met classification criteria for other CTDs were less likely to have clinical and laboratory features such as arthritis and hematologic abnormalities, as well as certain autoantibodies that are commonly seen in lupus," said Dr. Siegel. "They were also less likely to have received treatment with steroids," she added.
The results reveal that even among patients diagnosed by their treating physician with UCTD, some may meet classification criteria for other rheumatic diseases. Within this group, patients with strictly defined UCTD may differ in meaningful ways.
"We are starting to recognize features of strictly defined UCTD that will allow us to better identify and manage this condition," said senior study author Medha Barbhaiya MD, MPH, rheumatologist at HSS. "Patients struggle with the uncertainty of a UCTD diagnosis and our study aimed to demonstrate that UCTD may be a distinct entity from other rheumatic conditions. These findings lend support to the claim that patients who have UCTD require separate study, and their disease manifestations warrant further understanding."

The last rites of the four members of an Indian family, who were killed along with 18 others in the Tara Air plane crash in Nepal’s mountainous Mustang district, were performed on Thursday on the banks of Bagmati river near Pashupatinath temple here. The bodies were brought to Aryaghat Cremation Centre at Pashupatinath Temple premises on the banks of Bagmati River on Thursday morning. It took two days to complete the post-mortem of the 22 bodies of those killed in the plane crash on Sunday.
The Canadian-built turboprop Twin Otter 9N-AET plane was carrying four Indians, two Germans and 13 Nepali passengers, besides a three-member Nepali crew when it crashed minutes after taking off from the tourist city of Pokhara. Businessman Ashok Kumar Tripathi (54) and his Thane-based estranged wife Vaibhavi Bandekar Tripathi (51) were on a reunion trip to the Himalayan country along with their son Dhanush (22) and daughter Ritika (15) when the tragedy struck.
Tripathi’s elder brother and wife were among the relatives who were present when the last rites of the four members of the family were performed at the electric crematorium near the revered Hindu temple. The bodies of 13 other passengers and three crew members were cremated through traditional means by burning. There was a big crowd at the Pashupatinath Temple to see the cremation.
The Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, situated along the banks of the Bagmati River, is one of the most important Hindu temples in Nepal. The postmortem of all the bodies were completed on Thursday morning only. Ten of the bodies were intact and 12 others were deformed. according to sources at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj.
Rescuers on Monday recovered 21 bodies from the wreckage site of the plane belonging to Tara Air. On Tuesday, the last body was also retrieved from the wreckage site. The Nepal government has formed a five-member commission of inquiry headed by senior aeronautical engineer Ratish Chandra Lal Suman to find out the cause of the Tara Air plane crash.
According to a preliminary investigation carried out by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), bad weather was the reason behind the crash of the plane.The black box of the plane was also retrieved by a team of experienced international and national mountain guides from the crash site on Tuesday.
The black box, also known as the cockpit voice recorder, records radio transmissions and other sounds in the cockpit, such as conversations between the pilots, and engine noises. It could offer vital clues about the crash in which all 22 people on board were killed.

KENTUCKY (KTVX) — In an ad entitled “Pain of our Past,” Charles Booker, a Kentucky state representative and Democratic nominee in Kentucky’s 2022 Senate race, shines a light on his ancestors’ painful history.
The ad evokes an emotional reaction, as Booker, who is challenging Sen. Rand Paul in November’s midterm election, can be seen wearing a noose around his neck as he calls for action.
The ad begins with a voiceover of the Democratic nominee saying, “The pain of our past persists to this day,” and a shot of a noose swinging back and forth as it hangs from a tree.
The noose is, of course, a reference to the age-old hateful practice of lynching.
Booker points to lynching as a “tool of terror” that existed throughout the South in states like Kentucky.
The ad continues, showing a black and white photo of a man hanging from a tree by his neck as a large crowd is gathered around, peering toward the camera.
“It was used to kill hopes for freedom, it was used to kill my ancestors,” he says as he appears on screen with a noose around his neck, wearing a suit fit for the Senate floor.
Booker is the first black Kentuckian to receive the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
He cites his nomination as a “historic victory for our Commonwealth” before bringing up his opponent, Sen. Paul, who appears on screen giving a half-hearted smile.
Booker goes on, pointing to Paul as “the very person who compared expanded health care to slavery, the person who said he would have opposed the Civil Rights Act, the person who single-handedly blocked an anti-lynching act from being Federal law,” all while a noose hanging around his neck as he stands by a tree.
The sounds of a tightening rope can be heard as Booker says, “The choice couldn’t be clearer.”
“In November, we will choose healing,” he says as he lifts the rope from around his neck. “We will choose Kentucky.”
Booker is a lifelong resident of Louisville’s West End, growing up in what has been one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky, his website states.
It also says he has “been homeless” and has had to ration his insulin because he couldn’t afford the medication he needed as a Type 1 diabetic.
The Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate was first elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2018, becoming the youngest black state legislator in nearly 90 years. | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/new-ad-shows-kentucky-dem-nominee-for-us-senate-wearing-noose/ | 2022-06-02T16:44:15Z | https://www.woodtv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/new-ad-shows-kentucky-dem-nominee-for-us-senate-wearing-noose/ | true | 27 |
It’s another cloudy and cool day over New England. We’re having temperatures below average for another afternoon, mostly staying in the 60s in Boston and the coasts with some 70s in the far west. WIth the onshore flow, our easterly wind runs up light from 8 to 10 mph.
Wet and cool Thursday evening and Friday
The chance of showers remains for late this afternoon and again tonight through tomorrow. Moderate to heavy rain will move from the west and into the east bringing a slight relief to our pollen levels and the moderate drought across eastern New England. This rain is absolutely welcome on dry terrain.
Tonight our temperatures drop to the upper 50s and we’re getting ready for another mostly cool and somewhat wet afternoon; highs in the 60s east and 70s west.
Sunny and warm for the weekend for most, with showers in northern New England
Our weekend is looking lovely; rain chances decrease and our temperatures take a rise to the 70s for much of New England, including Boston. To be precise Saturday and Sunday mostly bring showers to the far north this would be in to Vermont and New Hampshire, but mostly Maine on Saturday. While the north deals with showers, central and southern New England will enjoy mostly sunny skies and a warm-up to the 70s.
Weather Stories
Next week starts what temperatures in the 70s but we drop it a bit on Tuesday with rain chances returning. With overall highs near and above the 70s were watching for another chance of showers late in the week.
Out in the tropics, we keep watching that area of disturbance that brought the remnants of Hurricane Agatha. This could now become the first tropical system of the Atlantic Season and impact Florida in the next days. Tropical watches will likely be posted in the Florida peninsula soon. We keep watching this slow-moving wave, as it brings heavy rain with it, its main threat being the risk of flooding. | https://www.necn.com/weather/stories-weather/cool-and-wet-thursday-and-friday-but-a-weekend-warmup-on-the-way/2752151/ | 2022-06-02T16:44:30Z | https://www.necn.com/weather/stories-weather/cool-and-wet-thursday-and-friday-but-a-weekend-warmup-on-the-way/2752151/ | true | 2 |
NEW YORK – Ultima Genomics, a DNA sequencing startup that surfaced this week, could shake up the top end of the sequencing market by early next year.
On Monday, the day before announcing itself and a cumulative $600 million in funding, Ultima posted a BioRxiv preprint detailing specifications of its novel sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) method. With 10 billion reads per run, 300 bp single-end reads, a 20-hour run time, and claims of being able to deliver a $100 human genome — the genomics equivalent of the four-minute mile barrier — the company could have Illumina looking over its shoulder.
"This seems to be a real head-to-head competitor to the NovaSeq," said Chris Mason, a sequencing technology expert at Weill Cornell Medicine who has received data from samples run by the company on the Ultima instrument. "The $100 genome at 30X coverage is a pretty disruptive feature. We've generated methylation data, and it looks really good. The data on SNPs look really good, comparable or equivalent to Illumina."
The longer read length, compared to 150 bp pair-end reads for Illumina's high-throughput runs, could be a key differentiator if Illumina is able to match it on price. "If you have the choice, in almost every instance you want to have a longer, contiguous molecule," Mason said.
Lowering the cost of sequencing is the raison d'être for Ultima, according to CEO and Cofounder Gilad Almogy. "When I looked at sequencing, it became obvious, at least to me, that it's a data problem," he said. "If you can generate data at lower cost, there will always be a need for it."
Almogy, who has startup and management experience in the solar and semiconductor industries, teamed up with former Illumina engineer and Genapsys VP of product development Mark Pratt to understand where the costs were and how to address them. They founded Ultima in 2016 and spent the next few years with an "inward focus" on developing their solution, which Almogy describes as "mostly natural sequencing-by-synthesis."
Ultima says it cuts costs where it counts the most: in the flow cell and reagent usage, specifically the polymerase.
Traditionally, SBS flow cells have employed a glass plate sandwich design, where reagents are run through channels and into the proximity of DNA clusters. But a larger flow cell requires a thicker channel and more reagents, Almogy said. Ultima has designed an "open" flow cell based on a silicon semiconductor-style wafer, "generating a dense array of electrostatic landing pads to bind clonally amplified sequencing beads, which are separately produced by an automated emulsion PCR process," according to the preprint. Not only is the wafer cheap, it only requires a thin layer of reagents, allowing for high utilization, Almogy said.
Moreover, Ultima's chemistry is more efficient, he said, decreasing both cost and run time. The firm doesn't use terminators on its nucleotides, like Illumina, which means it not only skips the unblocking step, but also doesn't need to replenish the polymerase or other reagents. The method uses only one flavor of fluorescent label, running each base separately.
Additional run speed is gained by using the round wafer instead of a rectangular flow cell. "Field of view is never wide enough," Almogy said. With a rectangular design, the camera must scan back and forth, accelerating and decelerating at the turns. "Because we're using a circle, we scan it the same way a hard drive does, by rotation. The result is you can enjoy the ultra-high speed of the camera."
The instrument, named the UG 100, will run two flow cells at a time. "One is doing chemistry, while one is doing imaging," Almogy said. "In 20 hours, we're finishing two of those flow cells." Ultima declined to provide a list price for its instrument at this time. "It's a high-throughput box, so it'll be roughly what you'd expect a high-throughput box to cost," he said.
At launch, Illumina's NovaSeq 5000 and 6000 sequencers carried list prices of $850,000 and $950,000, respectively. Currently, a run of an S4 flow cell in 2x150 bp paired-end mode, the highest output available on NovaSeq, equates to about $6 to $7 per Gb.
Ultima is targeting its commercial launch for the first quarter of 2023 and has already started an early-access program with 10 partners at genome centers, pharma companies, and clinical labs. They've managed to attract the attention of the Broad Institute, one of the most important genomics research centers in the US.
The firm worked with the Broad Genomics platform to sequence over 200 whole human genomes and produce the preprint paper. It also partnered with the Broad's genome analysis tool kit (GATK) developers to provide bioinformatics support for the 300 bp, single-end data type. "GATK is adapted for this," Almogy said. The Broad Institute said it did not have anyone available to comment for the story.
Ultima has also partnered with others to demonstrate the viability of its platform in many of the most important high-throughput sequencing applications. Specifically, it teamed up with Aviv Regev of Genentech and Joshua Levin of the Broad for single-cell transcriptomics; with Michael Snyder of Stanford University for whole-genome methylation sequencing; with Jonathan Weissman of the Whitehead Institute for high-throughput perturbation screening; with researchers at Baylor College of Medicine for Hi-C chromosome conformation analysis; and with scientists at Cancer Research UK and the New York Genome Center for tumor profiling.
"We went one by one to make sure there's a solution," Almogy said, "from library prep to bioinformatics." The firm promised more information on these applications in forthcoming preprints and at next week's Advances in Genome Biology and Technology meeting.
With respect to bioinformatics, "not everything is plug and play, but they're all solvable," said Doron Lipson, Ultima's CSO. "We've done a lot of work to make sure these applications are all doable with our data." Lipson noted that the firm has a method to re-index existing sequencing libraries for Illumina and other systems to run on Ultima's platform.
If there's one area where Ultima's platform currently does not meet the standard set by Illumina, it's for homopolymers, or sequences of consecutive bases of the same type, Mason said. "If you get 10- or 11[-base] homopolymers, it does have some errors, which probably lead to lower indel accuracy, compared to NovaSeq." Indel accuracy was approximately 96 percent, compared to about 97 or 98 percent for Illumina. "For a first foray into the market, it's actually very impressive," Mason added.
Lipson said that the system’s performance in regions with GC content above 70 to 80 percent shows "a bit of a drop."
But for many aspects, it is at least on par with Illumina, according to the firm. At least 85 percent of bases are above Q30, or 99.9 percent accuracy, and sequencing the Genome-In-A-Bottle reference sample HG001-7 showed SNP accuracy of 99.6 percent.
"We think we're going to be even better than that," Lipson said, noting that high SNP accuracy is especially valuable in calling rare variants in cell-free DNA data and in minimal residual disease monitoring.
The company also believes it has a path to improve its indel calling. "With new chemistry and better data, with our R&D runs, we're getting to 99 percent [accuracy]," Lipson said. The firm has partnered with Google DeepVariant and says it is the first sequencing company to take advantage of additional input channels to improve accuracy.
"When you look at sequencing data, there are the reads, but there's additional information about the reads," Lipson said. "We output more information about each base," usually quality information, including confidence scores. "Because we have richer quality info, we can use that to make better calls."
Almogy wouldn't give a prediction but suggested that Ultima could push read lengths a bit more. "We know for certain we can go longer," he said, noting that 300 bp is simply the mode for the distribution of read lengths. In the preprint, the authors presented data showing modal read length of greater than 400 bp. However, the goal is not to become a long-read sequencing platform, he said.
The company is focused on launching a high-throughput sequencer but said it may also consider an instrument for the mid-throughput layer of the market. It has 370 full-time employees and "is growing rapidly," a spokesperson said.
Already, orders are coming in. Mason said his lab wants one. And with its lower running costs, Ultima is in discussions to sell globally. "Is this a solution for the whole world, and not just high-revenue, high-GDP countries? I think the answer is, 'Hell yeah,'" Almogy said. "I'm not claiming that what we've done is enough, but it's a step in the right direction." | https://www.genomeweb.com/sequencing/ultima-genomics-preparing-take-illuminas-novaseq-next-year | 2022-06-02T16:47:17Z | https://www.genomeweb.com/sequencing/ultima-genomics-preparing-take-illuminas-novaseq-next-year | false | 1 |
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has sent a letter to the United Nations formally requesting that his country be referred to as “Türkiye,” the state-run news agency reported. The move is seen as part of a push by Ankara to rebrand the country and dissociate its name from the bird, turkey, and some negative connotations that are associated with it.
Anadolu Agency said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, confirmed receipt of the letter late on Wednesday. The agency quoted Dujarric as saying that the name change had become effective “from the moment” the letter was received.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government has been pressing for the internationally recognized name Turkey to be changed to “Türkiye” (tur-key-YAY) as it is spelled and pronounced in Turkish. The country called itself “Türkiye” in 1923 after its declaration of independence.
In December, Erdogan ordered the use of “Türkiye” to better represent Turkish culture and values, including demanding that “Made in Türkiye” be used instead of “Made in Turkey” on exported products. Turkish ministries began using “Türkiye” in official documents.
Earlier this year, the government also released a promotional video as part of its attempts to change its name in English. The video shows tourists from across the world saying “Hello Türkiye” at famous destinations.
The Turkish presidency’s Directorate of Communications said it launched the campaign “to promote more effectively the use of ‘Türkiye’ as the country’s national and international name on international platforms.”
It was not clear whether the name, with a letter that doesn’t exist in the English alphabet, will catch on widely abroad. In 2016, the Czech Republic officially registered its short-form name, Czechia, and while some international institutions use it, many still refer to the country by its longer name.
Turkey’s English-language state broadcaster TRT World has switched to using “Türkiye” although the word “Turkey” slips in by journalists still trying to get used to the change.
TRT World explained the decision in an article earlier this year, saying Googling “Turkey” brings up a “a muddled set of images, articles, and dictionary definitions that conflate the country with Meleagris – otherwise known as the turkey, a large bird native to North America – which is famous for being served on Christmas menus or Thanksgiving dinners.”
The network continued: “Flip through the Cambridge Dictionary and “turkey” is defined as “something that fails badly” or “a stupid or silly person.”
TRT World argued that Turks prefer their country to be called “Türkiye”, in “keeping with the country’s aims of determining how others should identify it.” | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/national/turkey-no-more-country-seeks-to-change-name-to-turkiye/ | 2022-06-02T16:47:52Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/news/national/turkey-no-more-country-seeks-to-change-name-to-turkiye/ | true | 43 |
