A local nonprofit organization that serves Lodi’s homeless and senior citizens is in dire need of funding, and its founder is hoping an upcoming fundraiser will keep it afloat.
Grace & Mercy Charitable Foundation is hosting “An Evening Affair of Southern Hospitality” at 23620 N. Tully Road in Acampo on June 18.
The southern-themed event will feature barbecue and soul food, live music, dancing, adult and kids games, raffle prizes and a silent auction, among other activities.
“We really need this fundraiser to keep our doors open,” founder Cheryl Francis said. “We’ve exhausted every resource we possibly can. With the state of the world right now, receivership is down.”
Francis started the foundation 12 years ago at 425 N. Sacramento St., and said donations averaged anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 a week.
However, in the last few months, donations have decreased by 75%, she said. Last week, the largest donation received was $750.
And while donations have dwindled, the cost of the foundation’s supplies has doubled and the number of people it serves has steadily increased.
“None of the services we provide has gone away,” she said. “The number of people receiving food boxes from us has gone up. Just last week, we saw about eight new people come to us for lunch. We don’t know if they’re newly homeless yet. Everybody is hurting.”
In addition, the foundation began a new program called “Serving Our Seniors,” which provides meals for many of Lodi’s elderly residents.
The service emerged out of the Great Plates program, in which local nonprofits partnered with several Lodi restaurants to provide three hot meals a day to senior citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the Great Plates program ended, Francis said she wanted to continue serving seniors.
She has registered the Serving Our Seniors program with the Department of Aging, but she doesn’t know when the agency will begin distributing funds.
The June 18 fundraiser begins at 4 p.m., and will feature a variety of unique raffle and auction prizes, including an inflatable paddle board, a garden basket that includes a roto-tiller and leaf blower, jewelry Francis brought home from a recent trip to Africa, wine baskets from local wineries, designer purses, as well as a 24-inch television set.
There will also be a hand-made “Scratchers” tree containing $100 worth of California Lottery scratcher tickets that lights up.
Food includes BBQ ribs, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and all the trimmings, green beans, salad, peach cobbler and beverages. Entertainment includes DJ Mullins providing music, a bounce house for youngsters, and a mechanical bull.
Since the pandemic began, Francis said she had to lay off several employees, and the foundation is staffed by just three people, including herself. The team continues to make more than 7,000 meals a month for the less fortunate, and hands out 32 boxed meals a week at its Sacramento Street location.
The foundation is just one of a few Lodi nonprofits that interact directly with the homeless on a daily basis.
Francis said if the June 18 event doesn’t raise enough money, the foundation will be forced to close its doors, creating a negative impact on the community.
“We’ve been here 12 years, and I’ve never seen it like this,” Francis said. “I’ve taken money out of my savings and put it into the business to keep things going. I have nothing else to give. It’s so important to support this event. Even if you can’t come, send donations, or volunteer. That would be a huge help as well.”
Tickets to “An Evening Affair of Southern Hospitality” are $60 per person, $400 for table of eight, and $10 for children younger than 10 years old.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has refused to grant a permit for a legal mass march scheduled to coincide with the Summit of the Americas on June 10, 2022. According to the organizers of the People’s Summit for Democracy, a counter-summit to Washington’s exclusionary Summit of the Americas, “the LAPD conduct constitutes an illegal denial of constitutional rights for those engaged in First Amendment-protected activity.” They vow to demonstrate on June 10, despite not receiving the police permit.
Organizers of the People’s Summit filed a permit request on February 25 for an activity protected by free speech legislation. However, 95 days have passed, and the LAPD dragged its feet and did not respond with any concrete steps to move the application process forward. The LAPD has attempted to shift the blame about the delay in issuing the permit to the Secret Service and the Federal Government, but this is considered to be a stalling tactic.

This egregious violation of free speech and the infringement on democratic right to protest goes against the very values that Joe Biden and the US government claim to uphold in the Summit of the Americas. Further, the maneuver threatens to undermine a principal avenue for progressive people in the US to advocate for social justice.
Angelica Salas, Executive Director of Coalition for Humane Immigrants Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) expressed, “The People’s Summit will lift up all those issues important to our people but left out of that other presidential summit across town: the rights of immigrants, women and workers; the rebuilding and protection of democratic norms; the security of families. We will present a different vision of the Western Hemisphere as a place of peace, freedom and prosperity for all, that excludes no country, no faith, no race, and no gender.”

Regardless of the outcome regarding the permit request, the people of the Americas will march on the streets of Los Angeles on June 10 to Biden’s Summit of Exclusion and make their voices heard. The People’s Summit for Democracy will take place at Los Angeles Technical Trade College from June 8-10, and the march will take the streets on June 10.

New Jersey environmental protection officials said Thursday they hope to have a law that guards communities from overbearing pollution in full effect by the end of this year.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed the law in September 2020 in Newark, but rulemaking, public comment and other procedures have yet to be completed.
Officials with the state Department of Environmental Protection said they hope to approve rules spelling out the details of the law by Dec. 31, which would mark the point where the law was fully implemented.
In the meantime, DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette has issued an administrative order requiring current and future projects to comply with its spirit and goals.
He said the order has the practical effect of “placing us where the rule ultimately would.”
Murphy signed the law in order to prevent communities — often low-income, minority neighborhoods — from having to bear the brunt of too many sources of pollution.
“This is a big deal,” LaTourette said during a briefing for reporters on where the law currently stands. “We have wrestled with those hard questions. We believe we have landed at the right place.”
Because it is not yet in full effect, the law does not directly affect one of the most hotly contested environmental justice cases in the state, the proposed addition of a backup gas-fired power plant at a sewage treatment facility in Newark's Ironbound section.
That neighborhood already suffers from multiple sources of pollution from nearby power plants, an international airport, numerous highways and heavy truck traffic through residential neighborhoods.
LaTourette said he would not prejudge the application, which is already being considered by his agency.
But he and other DEP officials said there are steps that the power plant and other applicants could take to lessen pollution in the area, including in places off their own property.
In January, the governor directed the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission to pause a plan to build the largest part of a $180 million backup power plant, designed to kick in when the main facility is knocked offline.
The commission has proposed measures including the adoption of “state of the art” pollution controls that go beyond the state’s own requirements.
The commission says it will only run the backup power plant during emergencies and for basic maintenance only; in a year in which no emergencies occur, the backup plant would operate for a maximum of 12 days a year.
The commission also has dropped a plan to use the backup power plant on days of high electric demand, which it says will eliminate 700 hours of operation. It also says it plans to install “all of the technically feasible solar power it can.”
It also plans to convert from natural gas to cleaner fuels as soon as that becomes feasible, including the use of battery power.
The backup power plant is designed to avoid a repeat of what happened during Superstorm Sandy in 2012, when nearly a billion gallons of raw sewage flowed into nearby waterways when the plant went offline due to a lack of electricity.
The commission says that without the backup plant, the streets of the Ironbound section could be awash in raw sewage during a serious storm that knocks out power to the sewage treatment facility.
LaTourette predicted numerous legal challenges to the law once it takes full effect.
"Lawyers will build entire careers on splitting its hairs," he said.

Celtics vs. Warriors Game 1 of the NBA Finals will be live tonight at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
A few notes worth discussing for Game 1 tonight and player prop bets.
The Warriors are performing significantly better in the second half compared to the first half during the playoffs.
Stats provided by NBA.com
- In the second half, the Warriors are turning the ball over 5.8 times. This is down dramatically from nine turnovers per first half, the most in basketball with a minimum of seven playoff games played.
- They are also shooting 35.1 percent from three in the first half vs. 40.9 percent for the second half. Notably, there is no difference in field goal percentage.
The Celtics team defense takes a slight step back during the second half of games.
- The Celtics’ defense is phenomenal. However, during the first half, they are nearly the best in the NBA’s defensive rating (100.6). It gets slightly worse in the second half, dropping to fourth in the playoffs at 109.9.
Marcus Smart plays well against Stephen Curry
- Curry is shooting just 29 percent from the floor when guarded by Marcus Smart. The Warriors’ offensive rating plummets to 85 when Smart is the primary defender on Curry. Stat courtesy of Second Spectrum.

Celtics vs. Warriors Game 1 NBA Finals player prop bets
Best bet: Draymond Green 8+ assists +245 (DraftKings)
Draymond in the NBA Finals, this is time to play facilitator. Green had nine assists in his last game and was over in four out of 11 games during the first two series of the playoffs. The Mavericks didn’t pose much of a threat, this series will be a major challenge for Golden State.

Best bet: Marcus Smart 8+ rebounds +800 (FanDuel)
Marcus Smart, over this number in two of five games played last series, is being disrespected for his rebounding prowess. He is not the healthiest player on the Celtics but he did get some rest these last few weeks and should not be 8:1 to hit this prop. Even without being in the best health, he was over in Game 7 against the Heat.
Smart 10+ rebounds is inexplicably +2800 on Bet365 if you are looking for even juicier odds. He has not done it yet these playoffs but it’s worth a flyer, other books have it at +1800.
Best bet: Jordan Poole ‘over’ 2.5 rebounds -123 — BetRivers
A very small projection here from oddsmakers. Perhaps the thought is that he will be hunted on defense and potentially moved off the court. However, there is a different thought process worth noting here. If Poole is going to be playing a lot of on-ball defense, it would theoretically free him up for rebounds off of misses.
Poole was over in two out of five games in the last series and ‘over’ in 10 of 16 total playoff games. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/02/celtics-vs-warriors-best-bets-player-props-for-the-nba-finals-game-1-tonight/ | 2022-06-02T21:40:12Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/02/celtics-vs-warriors-best-bets-player-props-for-the-nba-finals-game-1-tonight/ | false | 1 |

The Marker Hotel in Dublin sustained a €16 million or 76 per cent hit to revenues during the early phases of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Accounts for GCS Hotels Ltd, which owns the five-star hotel in the Docklands area, show that plummeting revenues contributed to the firm recording a pre-tax loss of €5.4 million in the 12 months to the end of December 2020.
This followed the hotel company recording a pre-tax profit of €4.78 million in 2019 – a negative swing of €10.18 million over the two years.
The firm’s pre-Covid revenues in 2019 totalled €21 million and revenues in 2020 totalled €5 million brought about by Covid-19 enforced closures.
On the 2020 performance the directors said they were satisfied with the performance during the year.
The pandemic from the first quarter of 2020 occurred only months after German global real estate investment group Deka Immobilien closed a deal to purchase the 187-room Marker Hotel for about €130 million from Midwest Holding AG, and an investor group led by Kevin McGillycuddy’s Brehon Capital Partners.
Under the new ownership, the property now operates under the Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas brand.
The hotel firm in 2020 recorded a post tax loss of €4.71 million after recording a corporate tax gain of €730,197.
The company took Government Covid-19 wage subsidy payments of €491,694 in 2020.
The loss takes account of non-cash depreciation costs of €226,281.
Employee numbers have since rebounded with the easing of Covid-19 restrictions but in 2020 numbers employed reduced from 199 to 99.
Staff costs reduced from €6.68 million to €3.34 million. Directors’ emoluments reduced from €224,543 to €190,135.
Radisson Blu
Separate accounts for another well-known Dublin hotel, the Radisson Blu on Golden Lane in Dublin 8, show that the business recorded pre-tax losses of €1.73 million in the 12 months to the end of October last.
New accounts filed by the Galway-headquartered Rhatigan group owned by Luxor Leisure Ltd show that the pre-tax loss was a 41 per cent decrease on the €2.93 million pre-tax loss recorded in 2020. Revenues at the business last year increased from €5.24 million to €5.4 million.
Pre-Covid revenues totalled €12.3 million in 2019. Numbers at the hotel firm further reduced from 55 to 46 last year as staff costs totalled €1.7 million.
The firm paid €3 million in operating lease costs to a connected firm last year. The loss last year also takes account of €795,556. | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/06/02/marker-hotel-suffers-e5-4m-loss-in-2020/ | 2022-06-02T21:44:33Z | https://carlow-nationalist.ie/2022/06/02/marker-hotel-suffers-e5-4m-loss-in-2020/ | false | 2 |

"Affected area has been cordoned and all likely escape routes have been sealed. Search to nab the (militants) is in progress,” he added. Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar said that the nature of the blast is being investigated.
“A blast took place inside a private hired vehicle at Sedow, Shopian. 3 soldiers injured and shifted to Hospital,” Kumar said in an earlier Tweet. “The nature and the source of the blast – whether it was due to a grenade or already planted IED (Improvised Explosive Device) inside the vehicle or malfunctioning of the battery – is being investigated.” | https://www.greaterkashmir.com/todays-paper/front-page/soldier-killed-2-others-injured-in-shopian-blast | 2022-06-02T21:46:09Z | https://www.greaterkashmir.com/todays-paper/front-page/soldier-killed-2-others-injured-in-shopian-blast | false | 1 |
Which coffee gift sets are best?
For many of us, our morning ritual starts with a hot cup of coffee. In fact, 64% of Americans drink coffee every day. And while coffee shops are immensely popular, making your own coffee at home saves a significant amount of money and allows you to experiment with brewing techniques, roast levels and bean-types to create a perfect aroma and taste.
If you are looking for a unique gift for a friend that enjoys their daily brew, the Bean Box – World Coffee Tour includes 16 award-winning coffees from around the world. Each package comes with detailed tasting notes and brewing tips and contains enough coffee for three to six cups.
What to know before you buy a coffee gift set
Beans
Surprisingly, there are only four types of coffee beans in the world: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica and Excelsa. Liberica and Excelsa are very rare and may have sweet, fruity or spicy flavors that differ from traditional expectations. Arabica is characterized by its smooth, complex flavor and lack of bitterness. It is generally considered to be of higher quality than Robusta as it is more difficult to grow. Robusta plants are much more hardy and produce a larger bean with more caffeine and a strong, somewhat bitter flavor.
Roasting
After drying, coffee beans need to be roasted. This brings out the flavors and determines the intensity of the coffee. A light roast produces the most diversity in flavor and gives coffee a vibrant aroma. Medium and dark roast beans produce a richer, more balanced flavor with deeper colors and a heavier body.
Blends
Most high-end coffee producers and baristas choose to mix one or more types of coffee beans. This allows flavors and intensities to be blended together, creating a wide range of coffees to suit individual pallets.
What to look for in a quality coffee gift set
Ground or unground
Coffee beans begin to lose their flavor and aroma within 30 minutes of grinding. If the intended recipient has a coffee grinder, then it is always best to buy whole beans. If you must buy pre-ground coffee, make sure it comes in air-tight packaging to ensure it tastes as fresh as possible.
Coarseness
A key consideration is the coarseness of the grind. Espresso machines can produce many different drinks that use finely-ground coffee, such as cappuccino, latte or mocha. Percolator, French-press or drip coffee requires a much coarser grind, so it is important to know how the coffee will be made before buying it as a gift.
Buying tips
Once you have decided on the best coffee to buy, there are a few more things to think about. First of all, don’t buy too much, as ground coffee tends to lose its flavor after a week. If the coffee has recently been roasted, it needs to rest for a few days before consumption to allow the flavors to balance. Finally, once opened, transfer the coffee to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place.
How much you can expect to spend on a coffee gift set
Depending on the source of the coffee and the amount supplied, gift sets can vary from under $20 to well over $100. For a set with four to eight different types of coffee, expect to pay around $35.
Coffee gift set FAQ
Does the roasting change the amount of caffeine in a coffee bean?
A. A common myth is that the darker the roast, the more caffeine the coffee contains. But in truth, the amount of coffee used, the grind size and the method of making the coffee are what affects the amount of caffeine extracted.
Is drinking coffee bad for your health?
A. Actually, quite the opposite. Coffee can increase short-term energy levels, reduce the risk of diabetes and help to prevent liver, kidney and pancreatic cancer. However, drinking too much coffee can be detrimental, leading to restlessness, increased heart rate and insomnia.

SAN FRANCISO, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, RH Capital, a leading women's health venture capital fund, announced three new investments to improve health outcomes for women in the US. Investing from its second fund that will hold its final close in June, RH Capital focuses on improving access, affordability, choice, and health outcomes for women in the US and beyond. Recent investments in Cayaba Care, Cirqle Biomedical, and Planerabring the fund's current portfolio to twelve companies.
"With the impending SCOTUS decision to repeal Roev. Wade, there is even more urgency to ensure women have access to contraception and quality maternal health care," said Elizabeth Bailey, Managing Director of RH Capital. "It has always been our position that reproductive and maternal care are essential health care. Now, the private sector - and startups in particular - will have an even greater role in ensuring health equity for women."
Led by Seae Venturesand Kapor Capital, RH Capital joined a $12 million Series A financing for Cayaba Care, which provides comprehensive and holistic maternity services to underserved communities, helping to address health inequities in the US for BIPOC and low-income populations.
RH Capital also invested in Cirqle Biomedical, a Danish-based company developing an effective, non-hormonal contraceptive that meets the needs of women looking to avoid the side effects of hormonal methods. "We are thrilled to partner with RH Capital, with its deep domain expertise in contraceptive innovation and women's health. Their support will help us bring to market a new and needed contraceptive offering for women around the world," mentioned CEO Frederik PeturssonMadsen.
RH Capital also closed an investment in Planera's $9.5 million Seed round, led by Valo Ventures. Planera is developing the first certified flushable and 100% biodegradable menstrual pad, addressing environmental concerns regarding microplastics, adhesives, and other chemicals which contribute to over three million tons of waste per year.
"RH Capital is proud to partner with Cayaba, Cirqle, Planera, and all of our portfolio companies that share our commitment to ushering in the next generation of innovations that will improve the health and wellbeing of women in the US," added Stasia Obremskey, Managing Director.
RH Capital, a Rhia Ventures fund, is an impact venture capital fund that invests in early-stage startups that promise to revolutionize women's health and improve health equity in the US. Its primary focus areas include contraception and maternal health while investing in other high-impact and underinvested areas such as fibroids, PCOS, STIs, endometriosis, pelvic health, menopause, etc. RH Capital invests across all healthcare segments, including the life sciences (diagnostics, devices, therapeutics), digital health, consumer products, and health services.

DAVIS (CBS13) – The man accused of trying to rape a woman on a Davis bicycle trail has been convicted.
Jose T. Perez-Meza was suspected in two sexual assaults, one in Santa Rosa that happened in 2018 and the Davis incident that happened in August 2020.

Prosecutors detailed how Perez-Meza attacked a 23-year-old woman along the Putah Creek Bike Path in Davis. A fingerprint he left on a glass of tea helped authorities identify Perez-Meza as the suspect.
A jacket that matched one seen on surveillance video out of a Santa Rosa assault was found during a search warrant executed by Davis police. With Perez-Meza’s Google location data putting him within feet of the Santa Rosa attack, prosecutors identified him as the suspect in that case as well.
READ MORE: Bees Are Now Considered Fish In California, Says State Appellate CourtOn Tuesday, Perez-Meza was convicted on two counts of assault with intent to commit rape along with a slew of other sex crimes.
He was already previously convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery in 2015, the district attorney’s office noted. In 2017, Perez-Meza was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery again against a different woman.
“Perez-Meza is a man who has preyed on multiple women over the last decade. He took what he wanted without any sign of remorse for his victims; his acts can only be categorized as heinous,” said Yolo County DA Jeff Reisig in a statement.
Further, Perez-Meza also still has charges pending out of Sacramento County for allegedly touching himself in public.

Khloe Kardashian’s life is once again about to be flipped upside down in the next episode of the Kardashians, and something tells us it will be awkward.
In the last few helpings of the reality series, which fans can watch on Hulu and Disney +, the 37-year-old raved about reuniting with the NBA player, who she shares daughter True with, and how hard he had worked to gain her trust after being unfaithful.
However, a preview for the upcoming instalment reveals that this will soon come crashing down as news that he fathered a baby with Maralee Nichols emerges, with Kim Kardashian breaking the bombshell.
‘I just moved into my dream home with True and Tristan, of course,’ Khloe cheerfully tells the camera in the very brief clip. ‘It’s finally done. Everything’s just in a really good place right now…’
The camera then cuts to the Skims businesswoman fuming on the phone, with the tone instantly shifting.
‘It’s this whole thing saying, “I, Tristan Thompson, met this girl in Houston. I slept with her on my 30th birthday”,’ she says.
‘So I sent it to him and I said, “Does Khloe know about this?” Khloe doesn’t even f**king know!’
Unless you’ve been living under a pretty large rock, you’ll be very aware that it emerged Tristan had a baby with Maralee at the end of last year.
The new mom welcomed her son, Theo, in December – after which a paternity test confirmed that the athlete was his father.
Tristan issued a lengthy apology at the time, saying sorry to Khloe for his actions.
The cameras were unwittingly on hand to capture the scenes, but had actually been with the Good American star to film another storyline.
Executive Producer Danielle King previously told US Weekly of the filming: ‘Well for that particular moment, my crew was there. We were there to film something else early in the morning and the morning that news broke, we legitimately just happened to be there. We have that moment on camera.
‘I know sometimes it’s tough for the audience to kind of grasp like “Oh, did they go back and did they capture this?”
‘But there were so many moments that we genuinely captured just because we’re almost always there. There’s almost always a camera going.
‘Our story goes in a completely different direction sometimes,’ she added. ‘We might be going there to shoot one thing, and then I’m usually like “Oh ok, I didn’t see this coming but here we go.”’
The Kardashians is available to stream on Hulu and Disney +.

Which Captain America Hoodies are best?
Everyone needs a reliable hoodie in their closet, so why not get one representing one of the most reliable superheroes? Captain America hoodies are readily available for fans of Marvel’s star-spangled Avenger. From costume hoodies to stylish sweatshirts, there are plenty of choices to keep warm and show off your Captain America fandom at the same time, including this fantastic Marvel Captain America Costume Zip Hoodie for Adults.
What to know before you buy a Captain America hoodie
How to find your size
Captain America hoodies do not have consistent sizing because many different companies make them. Every company has its own definition of what a small, medium or large size hoodie is. Fans should look at the size chart provided with the product listing to check the actual dimensions of the hoodie. Be aware, though, that some listings have just a generic size chart. It’s worth looking up the company and finding their specific size chart online if you want to be sure your Captain America hoodie will fit.
Captain America hoodie vs. Avengers hoodie
Captain America’s popularity means that he’s included in a large amount of Marvel clothing. He can be found on most Avengers merchandise since the character is the leader of the Avengers. So when searching for a Captain America hoodie fans should decide if they want a hoodie that Captain America is merely part of or one that exclusively features the character.
Front vs. rear design
Some Captain America hoodies feature their design on the front and others have the image on the back. This can get confusing because product listings will show the side with the picture on it and not necessarily indicate that it’s the back of the hoodie. Look closely at the direction the hood is shown to quickly determine if Captain America is on the front or back of your preferred hoodie.
What to look for in a quality Captain America hoodie
The hood
What makes a hoodie different from a sweatshirt is the hood. After all, it’s in the name! Fans will want a hoodie that has a reasonably sized and sturdy hood. Is the hood large enough to protect the entire head? Does it have a cord to make it adjustable? Does the fabric appear thick or thin? Product descriptions don’t normally have many specifics about the hood, so look carefully at pictures before purchasing.
Pockets
Pockets are not a standard design feature on hoodies. Some have one large pocket in the front. Others may have two smaller pockets or a pocket on the arm. Others are “pullover-style” with no pockets at all. Hoodie pockets are always exterior, so photos will also tell you how many pockets your Captain America hoodie has and give you an idea of how much they can hold.
Zipper
Some Captain America hoodies are zip hoodies, which means they zip up in the front like a traditional jacket. That makes a quality zipper an absolute must. If the zipper breaks, the hoodie can’t be closed, which means it won’t be as warm and may even affect the look (if the design is in the middle). Check out the zippers in any product photos to see if they’re sturdy or look like they might break off.
How much you can expect to spend on a Captain America hoodie
A Captain America hoodie ranges from $30-$50 in price.
Captain America hoodie FAQ
Is there a plus-size Captain America hoodie?
A. Yes. Captain America hoodie sizes vary by manufacturer, but many are available in sizes up to 2X-Large or 3X-Large. Check the individual product listing to see which sizes are available. It’s also worth looking at the size chart provided with each product listing because some hoodies may run bigger than traditional sizing.
Is there a Captain America hoodie for kids?
A. Yes. Kids’ superhero clothing is a huge market, and that includes Captain America hoodies and sweatshirts. Be aware that kids’ hoodies tend to be brighter and less detailed than adult hoodies.

"Do something!"
That's what grieving residents of Uvalde, Texas, shouted at President Biden, who had come to console them after 19 schoolchildren and two teachers were slaughtered by an 18-year-old gunman wielding an assault rifle.
"We will," Biden replied.
But while his confident words are welcome, they have been spoken many times before, after many other tragedies, and the end result has generally been the same. The hurt fades. The outrage dims. And the gun lobby eventually kills off even the smallest attempts to keep guns out of the hands of future assassins.
So pessimism is the only rational response. Senate leader Chuck Schumer expressed his slender hope for progress this way: "Maybe, maybe, maybe. Unlikely. Burnt in the past."
Still, maybe is better than never. And a bipartisan group of senators seems serious about negotiating a compromise that could include tighter background checks for gun buyers and stronger red-flag laws that could thwart mentally unstable individuals from acquiring weapons.
The big change is that Mitch McConnell, the Senate's chief Republican, has blessed the effort and delegated a close ally, John Cornyn of Texas, to shepherd the talks. "Hopefully, we can get an outcome that can actually pass and become law," McConnell told CNN.
The reforms on the table are very modest. They don't include what really needs to be done: the sort of total ban on assault rifles that existed for 10 years but lapsed in 2004. But in today's polarized and paralyzed capital, progress of any kind is worth pursuing — not just on this subject, but as a template for future deals.
The Democrats' lead negotiator, Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, noted that any successful outcome would involve exercising a "muscle we just haven't used" and added: "If you start working the muscle out, and frankly you start proving to Republicans that the sky doesn't fall if they change gun laws, we might be able to do other things in the future more easily."
Maybe. Might. It's all still a long shot.
Gun owners insist that the Second Amendment, which guarantees "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms," precludes any restraints on their personal firepower. But that's wrong. Even the most fundamental rights have limits. As Biden told reporters, "The Second Amendment was never absolute. You couldn't buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn't go out and buy a lot of weapons."
The public agrees, and overwhelmingly supports sensible restrictions on gun ownership. In a recent Politico/Morning Consult poll, almost 9 out of 10 supported "Requiring background checks on all gun sales." More than 80% agreed with tighter red-flag laws and longer waiting periods.
Intensity matters in politics, however. For hardcore gun owners, this is their most important issue. It affects them personally. It directly shapes their voting behavior. And they are willing to pay dues to organizations that then use that money to reward their friends and punish their enemies.
Sure, gun control advocates care deeply about the issue, but it seldom intrudes on their daily lives. They genuinely grieve for the victims of gun violence, but they seldom know them. The empty chair is usually not at their kitchen table.
Moreover, voters who support controls also tend to care about a lot of other liberal causes, from combatting climate change to defending racial equality and reproductive rights. Guns are important — but guns don't decide their votes.
Gun control forces need to make the issue more personal. They have to reach more people like Richard Small, a self-described "devout NRA Republican" who lives 90 minutes away from Uvalde. After the shooting there, reports the Washington Post, "the 68-year-old retired high school history teacher saw a photo of one of the young victims ... 'He looked like my grandson. I mean, they could have been twins. They have the same face,' Small said, his voice shaky with emotion. 'It just stirred something in me.'"
Then, writes the Post, Small "did what he acknowledges would have been unthinkable days earlier." He took his AR-15 out of his gun cabinet and turned it over to the local police. "I'm a gun advocate," he explained. "I believe in the Second Amendment. But this AR, after what I saw in Uvalde, I'm done with it. ... I'm sick over it."
More Americans have to get sick over Uvalde, and Newtown, and Parkland and all the other tragedies. Then maybe Biden's vow to "do something" about gun violence will actually matter. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s government on Thursday accused Washington of jeopardizing peace after U.S. envoys began trade talks with Taiwan aimed at deepening relations with the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing.
Talks that started Wednesday cover trade, regulation and other areas based on “shared values” as market-oriented economies, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. It did not mention China but the talks add to gestures that show U.S. support for Taiwan amid menacing behavior by Beijing, which threatens to invade.
Trade dialogues “disrupt peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” said a foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian. He called on Washington to “stop negotiating agreements with Taiwan that have sovereign connotations and official nature.”
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after a civil war that ended with the ruling Communist Party’s victory on the mainland. They have multibillion-dollar trade and investment ties but no official relations. Beijing says Taiwan has no right to conduct foreign relations.
The United States has diplomatic relations only with Beijing but extensive informal ties with Taiwan. The U.S. government is committed by federal law to see that the island has the means to defend itself.
Zhao accused Washington of encouraging sentiment in Taiwan in favor of declaring formal independence, a step Beijing has said previously would be grounds for an invasion.
The trade initiative is “intended to develop concrete ways to deepen the economic and trade relationship” and “advance mutual trade priorities based on shared values,” said a statement by the office of USTR Katherine Tai.
Taiwan is the ninth-largest U.S. trading partner and an important manufacturing center for computer chips and other high-tech products.
President Joe Biden said May 23 while visiting Tokyo that the United States would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan. He said the U.S. commitment to help the island defend itself was “even stronger” following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and expressed support for the island during her second visit in a year to Taiwan.
On Monday, China sent 30 military aircraft toward Taiwan in the latest of a series of flights aimed at intimidating the island’s democratically elected government. Taiwan’s defense ministry said it sent up fighter planes and put air defense missile systems on alert. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/business-news/china-demands-us-stop-trade-talks-with-taiwan/ | 2022-06-02T22:04:46Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/business-news/china-demands-us-stop-trade-talks-with-taiwan/ | false | 33 |

The town of Kingsland, Arkansas is still awaiting the final bill for repairs after a man was arrested for shooting a hole in the side of a water tower there which has an image of country music legend Johnny Cash, who was born there.
According to the Cleveland County Herald, the city's insurance is expected to cover the bill, minus a $1,000 deductible. But, according to officials, including Mayor Luke Neal, the final bill for repairing the gunshot hole in the water tower could cost somewhere below $5,000. City officials say they are still waiting on an electric bill related to the tower's pump after water leaked from it for days.
An official with the city's water department said that various people had to be called in to make the repairs including a painter and an electrician, in order to fix the vital part of the city's infrastructure. A worker from the city's water department said that she was passing the water tower in the early morning hours when she heard water spewing from high above and notified authorities. Water then leaked for at least a week until it could be repaired.
As local station THV reported, some residents called the leak in Johnny Cash's birthplace, "the biggest news in Kingsland."
Mayor Neal confirmed that a second possible suspect has not been arrested at this time, but an investigation is still pending and law enforcement has not confirmed if they are still investigating any additional suspects.
The news has drawn national and international attention for the small town. Mayor Neal confirmed for the Cleveland County Herald that he has received interview requests from as far away as the United Kingdom.
As TMZ and other national outlets have reported, officials arrested Timothy Sled after they say he shot the hole in the 50,000-gallon water tank. He has reportedly been given two felony charges including one for criminal mischief, and another for impairing the operation of a vital public utility. | https://www.wkbw.com/news/national/city-deals-with-repair-costs-after-man-shoots-johnny-cash-image-on-water-tower-to-watch-it-leak | 2022-06-02T22:07:01Z | https://www.wkbw.com/news/national/city-deals-with-repair-costs-after-man-shoots-johnny-cash-image-on-water-tower-to-watch-it-leak | false | 11 |
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday alleged that the NDA government at the Centre is conspiring to weaken the states financially and also discriminated against Telangana.
Addressing the Telangana State Formation Day celebrations here, he also attacked the Centre, among others, over politics of hate allegedly prevailing in the country.
All the governments that have been in power at the Centre so far have eroded the spirit of the Constitution and eroded the autonomy of the states, he said.
"The government currently in power at the Centre is based on the frivolous doctrine of "strong Centre – weak states”. That is why the violation of the rights of the states culminated in the reign of this government,” Rao, popularly known as KCR, said.
Alleging that the Central government is conspiring to weaken the states financially, he said the Centre is shifting taxes in the form of cess to evade the constitutionally due share of the states from the taxes levied by the Centre.
It is a known fact that the Centre is squandering millions of crores of rupees due to the states, he alleged, adding that the Centre is arbitrarily imposing various kinds of sanctions, undermining the economic freedom of the states.
Though the Centre insisted that the states abide by the provisions of FRBM, it did not do so, Rao said.
The Centre’s attitude has become a stumbling block for states like Telangana, which maintains financial discipline by managing loans and investment expenditure within FRBM (Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management) limits, he said.
"I demand that the Centre immediately reconsider and immediately lift the economic sanctions imposed on the states and stop any further violation of the rights of the states,” he said.
Telangana is losing Rs 5,000 crore every year as it refused to implement the "anti-farmers" power reforms of the Centre. In five years, the state lost Rs 25,000 crore, Rao said.
"As on date, the country is not having a common aim. The country is left high and dry to the wind. The country is drifting like a boat, which had no anchor. Even after 75 years of independence why we still have poverty?” he asked.
Saying that it is not about one Front replacing another at the Centre, he felt that what is needed is a progressive agenda, which can steer the country out of its problems.
Talking about "politics of hate", he said it will take the country backwards by 100 years.
"Today the country is in a dangerous situation. The country is beseeched by politics of hate. There is no other discussion or debate in the country other than the religious madness. People’s needs took a backstage. It is dangerous to gain political advantage out of communal clashes,” he said.
Rao alleged that the NDA government at the Centre discriminated against Telangana since its formation.
The NDA government merged seven mandals of Telangana with Andhra Pradesh, post bifurcation, which led to Telangana losing the Sileru power project, he said.
The Centre delayed division of the undivided High Court and did not grant any additional funds to the newly-formed state, he said.
The Centre is also delaying provision of funds to backward districts and it has also not given any tax exemptions to the state to attract more investments, he alleged.
"All the promises made in (AP) Reorganisation Act such as Bayyaram Steel factory, Kazipet Coach Factory were consigned to the dustbin," he said. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/centre-conspiring-to-weaken-states-financially-telangana-cm-k-chandrasekhar-rao-8630361.html | 2022-06-02T22:08:06Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/centre-conspiring-to-weaken-states-financially-telangana-cm-k-chandrasekhar-rao-8630361.html | false | 3 |
Baby Monaco Mai Jenkins was introduced to the world on Thursday as her mother, Jeannie Mai, introduced her to her YouTube show audience members.
Jeanie Mai Jenkins and Jeezy welcomed Monaco 5 months ago, and while the world received coveted bits of information about her, such as her gender and later her name, a glimpse of the baby was not forthcoming.
Jeannie Mai had shared details about Monaco’s name and its significance of it to her parents, and she even gave her followers a tour of the baby’s room and sweet décor.
However, this is the first time she has shown Monaco, noting that her mommy instincts have naturally kicked in as she enjoyed baby Monaco before sharing her with the rest of the world.
Ahead of the big reveal on her Hello Hunnay YouTube show, Mrs. Jenkins hinted that she had a special 5-month-old guest on her show.
“[This] might be the most exciting episode I’ve had here on Hello Hunnay. You’re going to meet someone very very special in my life, somebody, new, somebody new, someone shiny, somebody who smells good like 5-months-old good,” she teased.
Mai then switches to a feature of an earlier infant stage, Monaco, with whom Jeezy is seen soothing Monaco and several other sweet family moments with her grandmother, great-grandmother, and family members on both Jeanie’s and Jeezy’s side and her christening. The feature ends with Monaco reaching the five months mark as her mother excitedly calls for her grandma Mai to bring out Monaco.
An emotional Jeanie notes that she’s so scared to reveal her daughter because the “online [community] is so mean.”
“Knowing that the world is a really mean place sometimes, knowing I can protect myself and I can block y’all, I can ignore the comments but you can’t do that with a baby so this is why it was so hard to get to a place to share Monaco,” she added.
Monaco, who is sporting a sleeveless cheetah print dress with an oversized yellow bow headband, is cheerful as her mother introduces her.
“It’s time to share the most amazing, exciting, newest member of the Hello Hunnay family,” says Jeanie says.
Adding that, she was not only nervous to show her baby but took time to consider it.
“I got really scared, guarded and protected,” she says. “Please excuse the nerves.”
She noted that everything she hears Monaco cries it does things to her body as she hinted at her mother’s instinct and dealing with anxiety as she worries about her daughter a lot. | https://bahamasspectator.com/jeannie-mai-shares-first-photo-of-hers-jeezys-daughter-monaco-mai-jenkins/ | 2022-06-02T22:09:38Z | https://bahamasspectator.com/jeannie-mai-shares-first-photo-of-hers-jeezys-daughter-monaco-mai-jenkins/ | false | 10 |
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — One girl made other people smile. Another was a creative child who loved mermaids, unicorns and the color purple. A third loved playing softball and worked on her batting swing in her front yard.
The families of Nevaeh Bravo, Maranda Mathis and Eliahna Torres were holding funerals for them Thursday, part of more than two weeks of mourning for the 19 children and two teachers who were the victims of a May 24 mass shooting inside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
Nevaeh Bravo
A cousin told The Washington Post that the 10-year-old “put a smile on everyone’s faces” and described her death as “a nightmare that we cannot wake up from.”
She and another 10-year-old who was killed, Jailah Silguero, were friends, and an aunt described them in a Facebook posting as “Our Angels.” A cousin told USA Today that the two girls were caring, loving and supportive of their siblings. Both families had their funerals at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with Jailah’s set for Friday.
The aunt noted that Nevaeh’s first name is heaven spelled backward.
___
Maranda Mathis
Her family said in an obituary on the funeral home’s website that the 11-year-old “had a huge loving heart” and described her as sweet, smart and “a shy tom boy” who enjoyed spending time outdoors. She had a great imagination and often expressed love for unicorns and mermaids, especially if they were her favorite color, purple, the family said.
Her mother told The New York Times that while Maranda was shy when she started school, she opened up and made friends as the year continued. She was a creative girl who loved music, running on school field days, swimming in the river and showing her mother rocks she found.
A friend of Maranda’s mother told The Washington Post she was “fun,” “spunky” and “very smart.”
___
Eliahna Torres
The 10-year-old had “the most beautiful smile that could light up your soul,” her family said in her obituary on the funeral home’s website.
“She was a loving and compassionate person who loved to be silly,” the obituary said. “Eliahna was a master of jests and loved making people laugh.”
Her family said she would spend hours watching TikTok videos, but she’d found a new passion — softball. She was hoping to make an all-star roster.
She worked to improve her hitting, practicing her swing with a ball hung in her front yard by her grandfather outside the home she shared with her mother, aunt and grandparents, The New York Times reported. She responded to calls for her to come in for bed with, “One more.”
Her family jokingly called her “enfermerita,” or the little nurse. Her grandfather told The Times that after he had heart surgery a few years ago, Eliahna accompanied him on his doctor-prescribed walks, helping him to scoop up pecans that fell from the trees shading their neighborhood. She made sure her grandparents took their medications.

Michael J. Fox says that issues with his memory and remembering lines in his later life while living with Parkinson’s disease changed the kind of roles he was willing to take.
The actor, who broke out in the ’80s TV series Family Ties and announced in 2020 that he was retiring, recently guested on Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out podcast and spoke about how he’s approached his professional acting work differently in recent years due to developments with his Parkinson’s. Fox said that he’d become more selective in choosing roles after having difficulties while filming two different projects.
“When I did the spinoff from [The] Good Wife, which is [The] Good Fight, I couldn’t remember the lines. I just had this blank, I couldn’t remember the lines,” he said.

The actor, author and advocate called the experience “strange” after a career of being able to pick up a script and spit lines back out.
Family Ties, he said, “used to give me the script and I’d go, ‘I’m in. Mallory, get off the phone.’ And I knew it, like in an instant, and it continued to be that way for me. I have 70 pages of dialogue on a [Brian] De Palma movie, and knowing that a hugely expensive Steadicam shot depends on me knowing the lines — not a trickle of sweat on my brow,” he recalled.
But then while filming the CBS spinoff on a soundstage in Culver City, the actor says he couldn’t “get this line together.” It was the “same problem” he would have while filming in Canada for Kiefer Sutherland’s show Designated Survivor. But while another person might have panicked, Fox said he kept his cool.
“It was this legal stuff and I just couldn’t get it,” the Back to the Future star said. “But what [was] really refreshing was I didn’t panic. I didn’t freak out. I just went, ‘Well that’s that. Moving on. A key element of this process is memorizing lines, and I can’t do it.'”
Fox, who described himself as a “big [Quentin] Tarantino fan, and a big Brad Pitt fan, and a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan,” said a similar moment in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood made him consider how he could have responded to not remembering lines versus how he wanted to respond. The scene involved DiCaprio’s character, Rick Dalton, who forgot a line in the middle of a scene for the fictional pilot episode of Lancer, which also featured Timothy Olyphant’s James Stacy.
“He went back in the dressing room, he was screaming at himself — he was like tearing into himself in the mirror and drinking. Just a mess,” Fox recounted. “And I thought about that, and I thought, ‘I don’t want to feel that. Am I wrong to feel that? Am I right to feel that?'”
The actor and advocate continued, going beyond whether it was right or wrong to what it told him about taking on parts.
“I don’t take on something with a lot of lines, because I can’t do it. And for whatever reason, it just is what it is,” he said. “I can’t remember five pages of dialogue. I can’t do it. It can’t be done. So I go to the beach.”

A local woman is worried what the summer will bring as the resumption of fireworks over the falls is causing great distress to her rescue dog.
“It’s just awful,” Donna Campbell said of how her six-year-old dog LeeRoy reacts to the nightly fireworks display.
“We’ve given him hemp chews, we’ve put a Thunder jacket on him, we’ve used drops for calming, I play Indigenous drum music, I turn the TV up loud. He just scrambles as soon as he hears that first boom.”
Donna said LeeRoy trembles in fright and desperately tries to hide during the 10 p.m. fireworks show, and it takes two to three hours for the dog to recover.
“I have to be up at 5 for work,” Donna said. “I used to go to bed at 9. Not any more.”
Donna and her husband George adopted LeeRoy shortly before the pandemic hit.
A rescue dog who had suffered abuse in the past, it took some time for him to settle into their household.
“We’ve come so far with him,” Donna said. “He has made such strides.”
The couple now fears the progress he has made will be lost, and are encouraging residents to add their name to an online petition calling for show organizers to switch gears and change to “something more environmentally friendly like a laser lights show.”
As of Thursday afternoon, the petition – at https://www.change.org/p/niagara-parks-commission-npc-please-end-the-niagara-falls-fireworks-upgrade-to-a-light-show-or-better-alternative?fbclid=IwAR0WR01wovTEmGIAPNYU21LF_caLyn82rJ8oa_5ckKAkKGvV5_K6n5EL-8o - created by Brad Pine had received 1, 570 signatures.
Fireworks over the falls – Canada’s longest running fireworks series - resumed May 20 following a two-year pandemic hiatus.
This year, they will run 144 consecutive nights.
Niagara Falls Tourism, which organizes the light shows, is aware of the petition.
“Fireworks have always been a high demand activity, with enthusiasm from all generations – both visitors and residents,” said Janice Thomson, the agency’s president.
“We understand some residents are raising individual concerns through a petition, but Niagara Falls Tourism continues to deliver programming that complies with all regulations and supports the tourism industry that is so vital to the economy of Niagara Falls.”
The agency is looking at options that could “augment” the displays, such as lasers and drones.
“At this point, it is too early to speculate what might be possible, until research is completed,” Thomson said.
The fireworks issue was discussed during Tuesday’s city council meeting.
While the municipality doesn’t put on the display, Coun. Lori Lococo said she’s receiving “tons” of phone calls, emails, texts and Facebook tags from residents upset the program has been expanded from select nights in previous years to every evening this year.
Lococo said in addition to pets, the nightly fireworks are “bothering” people living with post-traumatic stress disorder and those with sensory challenges, “let alone wildlife.”
Jason Burgess, the city’s chief administrative officer, said Tuesday staff will notify various stakeholders that the issue was raised at council, and pass along comments from the meeting. | https://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/news/niagara-region/2022/06/02/dog-owner-concerned-over-nightly-fireworks-display.html | 2022-06-02T22:15:32Z | https://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/news/niagara-region/2022/06/02/dog-owner-concerned-over-nightly-fireworks-display.html | false | 3 |

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — A man convicted of killing his girlfriend — a newly graduated city police officer — has been sentenced to life in prison, followed by 30 years.
Life is the mandatory sentence for second-degree murder, one of two crimes for which a Caddo Parish jury convicted Tre’Veon Demarcus Anderson, 29, on April 20.
Jurors found him guilty of planning and executing the murder of 22-year-old Shreveport Police Officer Chatéri Alyse Payne, as she left their house to begin her night shift on Jan. 9, 2019. Their child, then 2 years old, was inside.
At Tuesday’s sentencing, state District Judge John D. Mosely Jr. gave Anderson the maximum 30 years for conspiracy to commit murder, setting the sentences to run consecutively, according to a news release from the district attorney's office.
Two of Anderson's cousins were indicted with him. Lawrence Pierre II, 24, pleaded guilty April 4 to second-degree murder and prosecutors dropped the conspiracy charge against him, and Glenn Montreal Frierson, 41, was acquitted April 20 on both charges, court minutes show.
Pierre's attorney, F. Edward Mouton, has asked for reconsideration of his life sentence, according to the minutes.
Anderson and Pierre exchanged text messages about Payne’s movements the evening of the murder, the news release said.
Payne's mother, Lakeitha Nash-Hudson, told the judge and Anderson, “Her baby girl graduated kindergarten last week and her mommy wasn’t there. It’s so unfair to her. ... I lost my child but her baby lost her mom, her dad, and even her grandmother because now her grandmother has had to become mom.” | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Life-plus-30-for-plotting-killing-girlfriend-17216002.php | 2022-06-02T22:19:07Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Life-plus-30-for-plotting-killing-girlfriend-17216002.php | false | 11 |

Investing from its second fund that will hold its final close in June, RH Capital focuses on improving access, affordability, choice, and health outcomes for women in the US and beyond. Recent investments in Cayaba Care, Cirqle Biomedical, and Planerabring the fund's current portfolio to twelve companies.
"With the impending SCOTUS decision to repeal Roev. Wade, there is even more urgency to ensure women have access to contraception and quality maternal health care," said Elizabeth Bailey, Managing Director of RH Capital. "It has always been our position that reproductive and maternal care are essential health care. Now, the private sector - and startups in particular - will have an even greater role in ensuring health equity for women."

Their support will help us bring to market a new and needed contraceptive offering for women around the world," mentioned CEO Frederik PeturssonMadsen.
RH Capital also closed an investment in Planera's $9.5 million Seed round, led by Valo Ventures. Planera is developing the first certified flushable and 100% biodegradable menstrual pad, addressing environmental concerns regarding microplastics, adhesives, and other chemicals which contribute to over three million tons of waste per year.
"RH Capital is proud to partner with Cayaba, Cirqle, Planera, and all of our portfolio companies that share our commitment to ushering in the next generation of innovations that will improve the health and wellbeing of women in the US," added Stasia Obremskey, Managing Director.

Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians has issued a “Do Not Work” order against Distinguished Concerts International New York, labeling it an “unfair employer.” The move comes more than two years after DCINY’s orchestra formed a union with Local 802, though the parties have yet to reach an agreement on a first-time contract.
Under the local’s bylaws, members who violate the do-not-work order by performing for DCINY can be reprimanded, fined or expelled. DCINY has operated as a producer and presenter of music at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center for more than a decade. For many of its choral concerts, it assembles choirs of amateur singers from around the world who pay a fee to perform there. DCINY then hires a professional orchestra, soloists and conductors.
According to the local, DCINY “has essentially locked them out and refuses to offer industry standards like union wages, proper rest breaks, health insurance, retirement payments, recording or streaming payments, job security, a primary hiring list and more.”
Shut down during the pandemic, DCINY resumed live performances earlier this year and, according to the union, “immediately replaced the full professional orchestra with just a handful of musicians. The company also attempted to replace professional musicians with an amateur high school ensemble. At a recent negotiation session, management introduced a new proposal that would force musicians to audition for positions they’ve already been awarded, which could allow musicians to be replaced permanently.”
The local will hold a rally on Monday outside Carnegie Hall in support of its demands for a fair contract.

EXCLUSIVE: Utkarsh Ambudkar, who stars as Jay on CBS’ breakout comedy Ghosts, has boarded the Tribeca-bound indie Four Samosas as an executive producer, with Verve Ventures coming aboard to handle sales.
The comedy from writer-director Ravi Kapoor (Miss India America) centers on a wannabe rapper in L.A.’s Little India, who concocts a backwards plan to disrupt his ex-girlfriend’s wedding by stealing her wedding diamonds. It will be one of just 10 feature films in US Narrative Competition at Tribeca in June—premiering in New York on June 10th, with several other screenings to follow throughout the festival week. Venk Potula leads the cast, which also includes Karan Soni, Sonal Shah, Sharmita Bhattacharya, Nirvan Patnaik, Summer Bishil, Meera Simhan, Sujata Day, Samrat Chakrabarti and Tony Mirrcandani.
Kapoor produced Four Samosas alongside Potula for Khrisp Entertainment, and Rajiv Maikhuri and Craig Stovel for Creative Rebel Productions. Additional executive producers on the project include Marginal MediaWorks’ Sanjay Sharma and Milan Chakraborty.
“We’re thrilled for UTK to be joining our producing team,” said Kapoor. “He’s one of a new generation of South Asian luminaries and his breadth of work from stage to screen to music, coupled with his passion for elevating others, will lend us invaluable support as we bring “Four Samosas” to market.”
“Utkarsh is paving the way for so many of us actors and creators who have been working away for so long in the margins of Hollywood,” said Potula. “We can’t wait to hit NYC with UTK and paint the town Brown. Dark Brown.”
“I’ve been watching and supporting Venk grow as an actor for years,” added Ambudkar. “When he and Ravi shared an early cut of “Four Samosas” with me, I said I’ll do anything I can to help shine a light on the project. I’m so excited for audiences to see this entirely original and earnest comedy.”
Ambudkar is an actor, writer, producer and recording artist whose film credits include Marry Me, tick, tick… BOOM!, Free Guy, Mulan, Brittany Runs a Marathon, Game Over, Man!, Blindspotting, Basmati Blues, Barbershop: The Next Cut, Ride Along 2, Pitch Perfect and Rocket Science. In addition to Ghosts, he’s been seen on the TV side in series including The Dropout, Never Have I Ever, Special, Brockmire, White Famous and The Mindy Project. He recently started shooting World’s Best—a rap musical comedy feature he conceived, co-wrote, co-produces and stars in for Disney+—and will also soon be seen in Never Have I Ever Season 3.
Other upcoming projects from Verve’s independent finance and sales team, Verve Ventures, include Steve Buscemi’s The Listener, starring Tessa Thompson; Providence, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lily James; Knox Goes Away, starring and to be directed by Michael Keaton; Bad Behaviour, starring Jennifer Connelly and Ben Whishaw; SXSW Grand Jury and Audience Award winner I Love My Dad, starring Patton Oswalt; Emily the Criminal, starring Aubrey Plaza; and the queer musical Glitter & Doom.
Ambudkar is represented by Gersh, 3 Arts Entertainment and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

When the Detroit Lions selected D’Andre Swift in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the hope was that he would come in and be a game-changer for the offense.
In his first two seasons with the Lions, Swift has certainly shown flashes of being that game-changer but he has also shown that injuries can get the best of him.
On Thursday, Lions RB coach Deuce Staley divulged his challenge for Swift as he moves forward with his NFL career.
That challenge is essentially for Swift to understand that there is a difference between being hurt and being injured and that you can play when you are hurt but you can’t play when you are injured.
“Injuries happen, but one of the things Swift and I had a conversation about is you’ve got to be able to play through some of these injuries as a running back,” Staley said. “We all know there’s a difference between being injured and hurt. As soon as you step in this building as a running back, Day One training camp, you’re not going to feel the same.
“There will be some things you have to fight through.”
Deuce Staley knows it begins with the offensive line
Deuce Staley noted that Swift’s success will all start with the Detroit Lions’ offensive line, which will be pretty darn good if they can all remain healthy.
“Not to slight D’Andre, but it starts up front with those linemen,” he said. “I’m equally as excited seeing those five healthy O-linemen as I am seeing him out there on the field.
“But there’s no doubt he makes us better, he’s a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands and we’re going to use him as such.”
Up to this point, though it is still very early, Staley said he is impressed with how Swift has handled himself.
“Super positive and he knows (we need him out there), which is good,” Staley said. “Playing running back, you’re going to take your fair share of hits.
“You just have to make sure you protect yourself when it’s the time to protect yourself and then there’s going to be time to put it all out there.”
So far Swift has played in 26 of a possible 33 games for the Detroit Lions over his first two seasons in the NFL. Let’s hope he plays in 17 regular-season games in 2022.
One thing is for sure, Deuce Staley will be all over Swift about staying on the field unless he is truly injured. | https://detroitsportsnation.com/deuce-staley-challenges-lions-rb-dandre-swift-to-stay-on-field/wgbrady/nfl/detroit-lions-news/06/02/2022/279405/ | 2022-06-02T22:25:24Z | https://detroitsportsnation.com/deuce-staley-challenges-lions-rb-dandre-swift-to-stay-on-field/wgbrady/nfl/detroit-lions-news/06/02/2022/279405/ | true | 1 |
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Rent control is likely not on the horizon for Orange County any time soon, if local leaders follow the recommendations of an analysis conducted by outside consultants on behalf of the county.
Two anonymous sources provided Spectrum News 13 with copies of the 54-page report, which the county later confirmed was authentic and would be a topic of discussion at next week’s commissioners’ meeting. GAI Consultants completed the report.
Overall, the report did not support the idea of a temporary, local rent control measure like the one recently proposed by Orange County District 5 Commissioner Emily Bonilla, despite last year’s record-setting rental increases and this year’s uptick in eviction filing rates — both factors acknowledged in the report.
“The focus on rents, virtually to the exclusion of other housing issues, overlooks the complexity of the current housing crisis and diverts attention away from the importance of a well-funded, continuing, and comprehensive strategic approach,” the report says.
The report also says that if rent control is implemented as described in state law, it may impede "the objective of speeding overall housing deliveries as well as create a number of unintended consequences."
The current rent proposal is the second from Bonilla in two years — commissioners voted down her first proposal, 5-2, in the summer of 2020. Since then, the county’s average rental increases have doubled, Bonilla said in an April press conference.
“Now, the average is 30%,” Bonilla said at a press conference Thursday. “If two years ago was not the time to do it … they cannot tell me we are not in a housing emergency now, when it’s double the average (in 2020).”
The commissioners are scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, June 7, at the Orange County Administration Center, located at 201 S. Rosalind Ave. The meeting is open to the public.
This is a developing story.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman indicted in 2020 on accusations of illegally collecting ballots apparently ran a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, and a second woman were indicted in December 2020 on one count of ballot abuse, a practice commonly known as “ballot harvesting” that was made illegal under a 2016 state law. Additional charges of conspiracy, forgery and an additional ballot abuse charge were added last October.
Fuentes, a former San Luis mayor who serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis, has a Thursday court date where she may change her not guilty plea. Her co-defendant awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to a reduced charge several months ago.
Fuentes is accused of collecting ballots during the 2020 primary election in violation of the law that only allows a caregiver or family member to return someone else’s early ballot, and in some cases filling them out.
Her attorney, Ann Chapman, has not responded to repeated inquiries seeking comment, including on Wednesday.
Republicans have rallied around the possibility of widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election where former President Donald Trump was defeated. They’ve pointed to the charges against Fuentes as part of a broader pattern in battleground states.
There is no sign of that in the investigation records, though. They were obtained through a public records request from the Arizona attorney general’s office that was first made in February 2021, but was denied. The AP sent a new request last October after more charges were filed against Fuentes. The attorney general finally provided more than 20 documents laying out the investigation late last week.
The records show that fewer than a dozen ballots could be linked to Fuentes, not enough to make a difference in all but the tightest local races. It is the only case ever brought by the attorney general under the 2016 law, which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
Investigators said it appears she used her position as a powerful figure in the heavily Mexican American community to get people to give her or others their ballots to return to the polls.
The alleged illegal ballot collection by Fuentes and her co-defendant happened in plain sight outside a cultural center in San Luis on the day of the primary election, the reports show. Fuentes was at a card table set up by supporters of a slate of city council candidates and was spotted with several mail-ballot envelopes, pulling out the ballots and in some cases marking them.
The ballots were then taken inside the cultural center and deposited in a ballot box.
It was videotaped by a write-in candidate who called the Yuma County sheriff. An investigation was launched that day, and about 50 ballots checked for fingerprints, which were inconclusive. The investigation was taken over by the attorney general’s office within days, with investigators collaborating with the sheriff’s deputies to interview voters and others, including Fuentes.
Although Fuentes is charged only with actions that appear on the videotape and involve just a handful of ballots, investigators believe the effort went much farther.
Attorney general’s office investigator William Kluth wrote in one report that there was some evidence suggesting Fuentes actively canvassed San Luis neighborhoods and collected ballots, in some cases paying for them.
Collecting ballots in that manner was a common get-out-the-vote tactic used by both political parties before Arizona passed the 2016 law. Paying for ballots has never been legal.
There’s no sign she or anyone else in Yuma County collected ballots in the general election, but investigators from the attorney general’s office are still active in Yuma County.
The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that search warrants were served last month at a nonprofit in San Luis. The group’s executive director is chair of the Yuma County board of supervisors and said the warrant sought the cell phone of a San Luis councilwoman who may have been involved in illegal ballot collection.
And at a legislative hearing Tuesday where election conspiracy theorists testified, the Yuma primary election case was again a highlight.
“It’s all about corruption in San Luis and skewing a city council election,” Yuma Republican Rep. Tim Dunn said. “This has been going on for a long time, that you can’t have free and fair elections in south county, for decades. And its spreading across the country.”
Ballot abuse is a felony that carries a possible sentence of up to two years in prison and a $150,000 fine. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/records-show-coordinated-arizona-ballot-collection-scheme/ | 2022-06-02T22:29:52Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/national/records-show-coordinated-arizona-ballot-collection-scheme/ | true | 49 |
Europol announces a great victory against one of the most dangerous malware in recent years. Not so much because of its complexity, but because of the enormous speed of propagation. The highest ever seen, as described by the European police.
In an operation in which bodies from 11 countries have intervened, including the Spanish National Police, successfully terminated and disabled Flubotthe dangerous malware that spread on Android mobiles through fake SMS and managed to obtain passwords and personal bank details.
The malware behind the FedEx SMS scam
In Spain, this malware had its peak of infections during the month of March 2021. Flubot is the malware behind the fake FedEx SMS scam. A scam with which it was estimated that he had captured more than 11 million phone numbers, only in Spain. That is, 25% of the Spanish population.
As described by Europol, Flubot was discovered in December 2020 but during 2021 it had a huge increase, mainly in Spain and Finland. The last May, the infrastructure behind Flubot has been deactivated by the Dutch policeputting an end to malware.
The investigation continues, as it is pending to analyze who was behind and who has benefited from a global malware campaign, although several members of the Flubot gang were arrested in Barcelona last March.
Among the bodies that have participated are the police from Australia, Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands and the United States, all of them coordinated by Europol’s European Cybercrime Center.
The malware was installed through false messages. These prompted users to install an app or listen to a fake voice message. Once the app was installed, which was actually Flubot, accessibility permissions were requested. In case of obtaining them, cybercriminals could access all kinds of information since it is as if they were viewing the mobile screen from a distance and receiving all the keystrokes we made.
Europol describes Flutbot as the fastest spreading malware to date. In part because it accessed the mobile contacts and sent the corresponding SMS to all the numbers in the phone book. With each new affected, another SMS was sent to all contacts. | https://thenewstrace.com/the-european-police-deactivates-one-of-the-most-dangerous-malware-in-recent-years-the-one-with-the-fake-fedex-sms/234335/ | 2022-06-02T22:33:08Z | https://thenewstrace.com/the-european-police-deactivates-one-of-the-most-dangerous-malware-in-recent-years-the-one-with-the-fake-fedex-sms/234335/ | true | 1 |
Elderly walking speed could indicate dementia risk, study finds
A new study finds that a decline in an older person’s walking speed could assess the risk of future dementia.
The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), analyzed more than 16,000 relatively healthy older adults in the United States and Australia between 2010 and 2017. Data analysis was conducted in 2020 and 2021.
In the study, gait speed was measured at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 7 years, and global cognition, memory tests and verbal fluency exams were assessed at years 1, 3, 5 and 7.
Participants were then classified into four groups: dual decline in gait and cognition, gait decline only, cognitive decline only and non-decliners. Gait decline was defined as a decline in gait speed of 0.05 meters per second or greater per year across the study.

Using analysis of the person’s walking speed, along with cognitive tests and clinical records, the researchers could estimate the person’s risk of dementia.
The team found that a dual decline in gait and cognitive function compared with non-decliners was significantly associated with an increased risk of dementia. This risk was highest in those with both gait and memory decline.
"These results highlight the importance of gait in dementia risk assessment and suggest that dual decline in gait speed and a memory measure may be the best combination to assess future dementia," the study’s authors wrote. "Our findings provide further evidence for the importance of adding serial gait speed measures to dementia risk screening assessments, providing the opportunity for further comprehensive assessment and early preventative treatments."
One limiting factor the authors of the study noted was that gait and cognition were not measured at the same time points, but its linear mixed-model approach accounted for this to some extent.
Prior studies have found slower gait speed in non-Alzheimer type dementia, and other studies have demonstrated that gait speed is more strongly correlated with executive function and processing speed.
A recent study also found evidence that regular exercise can improve protection for the brain against dementia.
RELATED: Study: Exercise can strengthen brain function, prevent dementia
According to the study published in January in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, researchers noted that exercise increases the strength of proteins the brain needs to communicate with the rest of the body.
The strengthening of these proteins could improve your chances of fighting off dementia and other cognitive illnesses.
The number of people with dementia is estimated to be about 50 million worldwide, and Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type.
This number is projected to grow to 150 million by 2050, as each year brings 10 million new cases, according to a report released in 2019 by the World Health Organization.
Although age is the top risk factor, "dementia is not a natural or inevitable consequence of aging," the report said.
Many health conditions and behaviors affect the odds of developing it, and research suggests that a third of cases are preventable, said Maria Carrillo, chief science officer of the Alzheimer’s Association.
This includes getting enough exercise; treating other health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol; having an active social life, and avoiding or curbing harmful habits such as smoking, overeating and drinking too much alcohol. Evidence is weak that some of these help preserve thinking skills, but they’re known to aid general health, the WHO said.

Amazon trans activist workers call for Matt Walsh and other 'transphobic' authors to be banned
The protest, which was staged to disrupt Amazon’s Pride-focused flag-raising ceremony, saw around 30 employees drape themselves in transgender Pride flags and lay on the ground to play dead.
Dozens of Amazon employees in Seattle staged a protest at the company’s headquarters on Wednesday to protest the online retailer's continued sale of so-called “transphobic” materials, including books by Daily Wire writer Matt Walsh and Abigail Shrier, the author of “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.”
The protest, which was staged to disrupt Amazon’s Pride flag-raising ceremony, which was conducted to commemorate Pride Month, saw around 30 employees draping themselves in transgender Pride flags and laying on the ground to play dead.
The so-called “die-in” protest was cataloged by Business Insider journalist Katherine Long, who took photographs and footage of the flag-raising ceremony.

As detailed by Long, the employees are affiliated with an internal employee activist group called “No Hate at Amazon.”
When Amazon security confronted the protestors, several of them refused to move and got in a verbal altercation with the guards.

Protesting Amazon's sale of transphobic content is "a risk that a lot of us are willing to take because we can't continue to work for this company and turn a morally blind eye to its policies," one longtime Amazon employee at the protest told me.https://t.co/RZhNIctbkY
— Katherine Long (@_katya_long) June 1, 2022
The transgender activists gave a speech at the flag-raising ceremony to explain the reason for their protest, which they claim was rooted in Amazon’s “spreading a culture of hatred through the sale of transphobic books, promoting and profiting off content that advocates for the abuse of transgender children.”
The activists, who are employees of Amazon, slammed their employer for performing a “PR stunt” with its Pride flag-raising ceremony. The group insists that the ceremony was “blatant rainbow-washing, and all done for show,” as the retailer sells “content that aids and encourages the psychological abuse of transgender children.”
“There is a direct line between the hateful transphobic rhetoric Amazon is profiting from, the unprecedented anti-trans legislation across the United States, and the violent and often deadly physical attacks so many of our community face,” said the group in an open letter. “2021 saw the most murders of transgender people in recorded history. Overwhelmingly, these victims are Black trans women and trans women of color.”
The group cited a number of official titles that they want to be banned from the retailer, including Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage,” and Matt Walsh’s “Johnny the Walrus.”
Furthermore, the open letter published by the activists references a video of two Amazon employees hosting an internal meeting discussing the success of Walsh’s book on the website, in which they accused the author of abusing Amazon’s systems, claiming he is “taking advantage of Amazon and how the Amazon algorithms work to promote their particular brand of hate and harm.”
The letter asks: “Can you imagine the fear of transgender employees at seeing their coworkers’ identities plastered over conservative media? At seeing the names of fellow employees handed to a transphobic internet mob, wondering if they would be doxxed next?”
“Walsh used the publicity from this attack to get his book to number one on Amazon. Let me repeat that. The number one book across all of Amazon. Top of our charts,” it says.
“In Walsh’s own words, this effectively made him the bestselling author in the country. Amazon rewarded him for this harassment with enormous sales. Money he will use to keep spreading hate. This is f***king embarrassing. Everyone who let this happen should be embarrassed and ashamed,” said the trans activists.
The speech also mentions Walsh’s newly-released documentary, “What is a Woman?” and their apprehension towards its release.
“Matt Walsh is not some random transphobe on the internet. This man is a serial abuser who has openly attacked our coworkers and our customers, and it will happen again if Amazon does not act,” the activists said.

They did the meme: LGBTQ+ Pride org adds Ukraine colours to Pride flag
The move to include the blue and yellow colours in the flag comes a week after several fact-checking organizations including Snopes, Reuters, and KnowYourMeme claimed that the colours of the Ukrainian flag have not been added to the official pride flag.
A gay pride parade in Europe has added the colours of the Ukrainian flag to the new progressive LGBTQ+ rainbow flag — the one that includes the pastel pink and blue transgender colours, the intersex symbol, as well as the black and brown colours supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.
Organizers of Dublin’s gay pride parade in Ireland have added the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag to the rainbow flag in their attempt to be as inclusive as possible. The flag is featured on the official page of Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride, which was funded and sponsored by numerous government organizations and private entities in Ireland. It is set to fly in this year’s “March & Parade.”
The move to include the blue and yellow colours in the flag comes a week after several fact-checking organizations including Snopes, Reuters, and KnowYourMeme claimed that the colours of the Ukrainian flag have not been added to the official pride flag.
“An image showing blue and yellow stripes added to the Pride flag was posted satirically by a Twitter user. However, some on social media appear to have been duped into believing it is real,” Reuters reported, citing an ironic tweet by yours truly, which showed a variation of the progressive Pride flag.
The flag was also shared by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who asked “Do the Nazis in the Ukrainian army know? #Azov.”
Do the Nazi’s in the Ukrainian army know? #Azov pic.twitter.com/IcRTJFbQYa
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) May 23, 2022
“This altered flag has also been addressed on Know Your Meme (here), a website that documents memes and internet culture, by an author who is described as ‘an expert in obscure memes and how meme culture has evolved over the years,’” Reuters reported, delivering a “false” verdict to state that “The Pride flag does not now include the blue and yellow colors of Ukraine’s national flag. An image suggesting so was mocked up and posted online ironically.”
As a result of the Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride group’s creation of its own official Pride flag, which includes the Ukrainian flag colors, we can now unironically state that the new pride flag does for a fact include support for the Eastern European country and its conflict against Russia.
The Snopes report on the “false” pride flag that first includes the Ukrainian flag colours has since been updated with an editorial clarification to acknowledge this fact.
“This article addresses an image that was widely circulated on social media which supposedly showed how the colors of Ukraine (yellow and blue) had been added to the ‘new pride flag.’ This image originated as satire and is not affiliated with any official LGBTQ organizations. However, the Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival did use a different version of a ‘progress’ pride flag containing blue and yellow on a flyer that welcomed recently displaced refugees from Ukraine,” Snopes said.
The Dublin Pride Festival will take place from June 22 to 26.

New York Cops Apprehend Assailants in Two Separate Antisemitic Outrages
by Algemeiner Staff
Two men have been apprehended by the New York City Police Department in connection with two separate antisemitic assaults in different parts of the city during the last two months.
In Staten Island, an 18-year-old man was indicted on hate crimes charges in connection with an attack on a Jewish couple in April, while in Brooklyn, a 35-year-old was arrested over a violent assault on a Jewish man last month.
Logan Jones — the alleged offender in Staten Island — is accused of having approached the victim, a 21-year-old Jewish man who was walking with his wife, accompanied by five friends in the evening of April 1. Jones is said to have punched his victim in the face before joining with two of his companions in repeatedly kicking the Jewish man, who tried to escape by sliding under a truck parked nearby.
Jones and the five others allegedly fled the scene as the victim’s wife asked a bystander to call the police. The victim — who was dressed in traditional Hasidic attire when the attack occurred — suffered severe head and body pain, an abrasion to the cheek, as well as bruising to the face and mouth, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office. Jones’s bail was set at $30,000 and he is due to appear in court again on June 24.

“Without warning or provocation, this defendant allegedly assaulted an innocent man simply because of his Jewish faith,” District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement. “Crimes that target individuals because of their religion, race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation are a threat to everything we stand for here in Brooklyn. We will now seek to hold the defendant accountable.”
Meanwhile, Eric Redding, the 35-year-old arrested over an attack in early May upon an Orthodox Jewish man in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, is facing assault, aggravated harassment, menacing and hate crime charges, police said. Redding is accused of punching and kicking the 32-year-old man in broad daylight at the intersection of President Street and Utica Avenue while he hurled antisemitic insults at him, according to police.
Separately, police in Brooklyn are investigating whether an arson attack on a Black-owned hair salon may have been a hate crime. Surveillance video from the salon in the Fort Greene neighborhood showed a man allegedly painting swastikas on the building before setting it alight.
A recent Anti-Defamation League (ADL) report on antisemitic crimes in New York noted that the state “leads the nation” in the number of incidents targeting Jews.
“In 2021, the number of reported incidents increased 24 percent over 2020 numbers, rising from 336 to 416,” the ADL reported. “These numbers also include a spike in antisemitic incidents driven by extreme anti-Israel sentiments during the May 2021 Israel-Hamas war. During this time, incidents motivated by anti-Zionist sentiments included assault, arson threats, and harassment.” | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/06/02/new-york-cops-apprehend-assailants-in-two-separate-antisemitic-outrages/ | 2022-06-02T22:37:02Z | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/06/02/new-york-cops-apprehend-assailants-in-two-separate-antisemitic-outrages/ | true | 2 |
(JTA) — Rabbi Pinchas Stolper, a pioneer in making Orthodox Judaism accessible to young people who retired from the leadership of the Orthodox Union after a rabbi under his supervision was accused of years of sexual and physical abuse, has died at 90.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Orthodox Union focused on Stolper’s role in making its affiliated youth organization, the National Council of Synagogue Youth, a national powerhouse. Stolper died the previous day, May 25; the statement did not identify a cause of death.
“Rabbi Stolper was a trailblazing pioneer in the education of Jewish teens who served as the first full-time national director of NCSY and as the longest-serving executive vice president of the Orthodox Union,” it said. “He created and developed modalities of experiential Jewish learning and living that have become the standard for inspiring commitment in Jewish students around the world.”
Stolper showed his potential for youth leadership when in 1950, at 18, he organized a protest against an official visit of a German soccer team to New York. The horrors of the Nazi years were still being revealed and Stolper was furious that a German delegation would be honored at city hall; he and about a dozen of his friends pelted the team with tomatoes.
According to an account in Matzav, an Orthodox news site, Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner, the director of Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin Yeshiva, read the news of Stolper’s arrest the next morning and declared to a colleague: “This young man has chutzpah. We need him in our yeshiva.”
Stolper became close to Hutner, a leading figure in mid-20th century American Orthodoxy and soon rose to positions of influence within the Modern Orthodox movement.
“During more than forty years of working with Jewish youth, Rabbi Stolper built the NCSY movement from coast to coast,” the Orthodox Union wrote.
Stolper wrote a stack of books making the holidays at Shabbat more accessible to younger leaders, and also a book of advice on relationships, “Jewish Alternatives in Love, Dating and Marriage.”
Stolper also was key in advancing the career of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, whose writings on the Torah in the 1970s and 1980s are credited with spurring a return to Orthodoxy among young Jews.
“I … was taken by his unusual ability to explain a difficult topic — one usually reserved for advanced scholars, a topic almost untouched previously in English — with such simplicity that it could be understood by any intelligent reader,” Stolper said of Kaplan. “It was clear to me that his special talent could fill a significant void in English Judaica.”
Stolper retired in 2000, the year the New York Jewish Week exposed decades of allegations of physical and sexual abuse of minors by Rabbi Baruch Lanner. Stolper told the Jewish Week at the time that he had been made aware of some of the allegations but could not substantiate them to the point of taking action. Stolper appeared to dither about the worthiness of Lanner, who went on to serve nearly three years in prison for abusing two girls at a New Jersey school.
“He has had such a magnificent impact” on young people “despite some obvious sickness that is not sexual but has to do with needing to be in control,” Stolper, who was then the Orthodox Union’s executive vice president, said of Lanner.
Stolper, Lanner and another official left the Orthodox Union in the wake of an investigation. The Orthodox Union billed Stolper’s departure as a retirement and not necessarily related to the scandal.
Five women last year filed a lawsuit against Lanner, the Orthodox Union and NCSY, and Hillel Yeshiva High School in Ocean, New Jersey, seeking redress for the abuse.
Stolper is survived by his wife, Elaine, his daughter Michal and his son, Akiva. Another daughter, Malki, died in 2008.

About 70 percent of American helmet buyers are unaware of rotational motion, a key contributor to traumatic brain injuries
STOCKHOLM, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey suggests a large disconnect in Americans' education around concussions and how to reduce the risk of them using helmets.
In the United States, the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), especially in sports, has been called a crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 64,362 TBI-related deaths in 2020 and 223,135 TBI-related hospitalizations in 2019. – more than 611 TBI-related hospitalizations and 176 TBI-related deaths per day1. In 2020, the CDC also reported that 7 percent of U.S. children suffered a TBI2, and that each year in the U.S., about 3.8 million concussions occur from sports-related injuries3.
The survey, which was conducted by Nielsen, a consumer survey company, and commissioned by Mips, a helmet safety technology company, polled a representative sample of 1,000 Americans, split evenly between male and female, ranging 18-65 years old. All survey subjects have either bought a helmet in the past three years or plan to buy a helmet in the next six months for any of the following applications: cycling, rock climbing, horse riding, motorcycling, skiing, snowboarding, team sports, and safety equipment.
Among the most significant findings of the survey is that 70 percent of American helmet buyers are unaware of the term rotational motion. Lack of understanding of rotational motion, a key contributor to TBIs, appears to correlate with Americans' helmet purchasing decisions; 7 out of 10 American helmet buyers did not consider at all how well the helmet protects against rotational motion when buying a helmet.
Rotational motion is a common cause for concussions and more severe brain injuries in oblique hits to the head. In most instances when you fall while moving and hit your head, you don't hit your head in a straight 90-degree angle towards the surface. Instead, you often fall and hit your head at an angle, similar to how a tennis ball makes contact with the ground after being hit with a racket. When your head hits something at an angle, it typically exposes your head to rotational motion, which studies have shown can be more dangerous than linear motion.
Pioneering studies from the mid-20th century have shown that rotational motion is a key component in some traumatic brain injuries such as concussions and diffuse axonal injury4,5,6. The rotational motion causes shearing of the brain tissue, which can cause traumatic brain injuries. After these pioneering studies, more recent studies have supported the prevalence of rotational motion in diffuse traumatic brain injuries7,8,9,10. Despite this evidence, today there are only two helmet testing standards that account for rotational motion (FIM and ECE22.06), both of which pertain only to motorcycle helmets in the EU.
The survey also found that about 40 percent of American helmet buyers have suffered a concussion in the past, 60 percent of which were not wearing a helmet at the time of the concussion. Additionally, comfort and fit are the most important criteria that Americans consider when purchasing a helmet, followed by perceived protection against head injuries, meeting specific safety regulations, and price.
"Around the world, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are often poorly understood," says Peter Halldin, Co-Founder of Mips. "Improving safety and helping increase education around TBIs – there is nothing more important to us than that. Think of a parent for example, when buying a
helmet for their child, or you buying a helmet for yourself or a loved one. If people aren't equipped with relevant information, how can they make informed decisions?"

US Women's Open: Ingrid Lindblad fires lowest amateur score in history
Last updated on .From the section Golf
Sweden's Ingrid Lindblad shot the lowest score by an amateur in US Women's Open history in the first round of this year's championship.
Her six-under 65 at Pine Needles included seven birdies and sent the 22-year-old to the top of the leaderboard at the second women's major of 2022.
"I hit a few close to the pin and my putting was great," said Lindblad, who played with her idol Annika Sorenstam.
"It just worked from the fairway to the green. It's a great US Open course."
The legendary Sorenstam, a three-time US Women's Open champion, retired at the end of 2008 but returned to competitive golf after turning 50.
Lindblad's round at the North Carolina course eclipsed the previous best of 66 by an amateur which has been recorded three times, most recently by Gina Kim in 2019.
Asked about playing with Lindblad, 51-year-old Sorenstam, who carded a three-over 74, said: "She's authentic. She's got a special look, but she's a fearless player.
"She's confident in her own game. I know she doesn't shy away from the limelight that maybe I did as a young girl."
Lindblad, from Halmstad on the west coast of Sweden, is one of the stars on the US college circuit and demonstrated her power game in her dazzling opening round, averaging nearly 270 yards off the tee.
Another Swede, the Solheim Cup player Anna Nordqvist, shot a 67 to lie two behind Lindblad alongside Australian Minjee Lee among the earlier starters.

But there’s an event to attend, a scenario that requires you to dress up. It could be a wedding, a boardroom meeting, or an IRL job interview. You can’t get away with anything less than a two-piece. It’s time for a linen suit.
Linen—of all the standard materials used in suiting—is the lightest, the most breathable. The tradeoff being linen, in its purest form, is far less structured than other fabrics. That could work if the event at hand is casual. But if you really want to look distinguished, reach for a cut that’s mixed with cotton, silk, or even wool. A suit with these blends will hold its shape and offer the airiness you’re looking for. It’s what linen does best. We have all these options (plus a few surprises) below ready to give you some ventilation in the sweltering summer heat no matter the occasion.
Wedding season is rounding the corner, and if the event is outdoors and the dress code calls for black tie optional, semiformal, cocktail, beach formal, or dressy casual, J.Crew's iconic Ludlow suit—a style we endorse regularly—is as foolproof as it gets.
Suffice it say, it's been a while since many of us have gone on dates IRL. And if scratching your head, confused as to what to wear on a night out this summer, keep things light and spiffy with this slim-fit suit from Mango. It feels nice to get dressed up again—especially in a fit like this.
If you're not ready to squeeze into a slim-fit suit just yet, Alex Mill has a looser option. The two-piece is less structured and gives off a laidback vibe, but still looks presentable to wear out and about.
Taking the laidback vibe even further is this linen suit from Folk. Not only is the suit jacket meant to have a crinkled look, the matching trousers feature a drawstring. It's like wearing tailored sweats, but sleeker and breezier.
Banana Republic is a master at offering styles that are equal parts disheveled (in the best sense) and distinguished, the kinds of pieces that have character and won't annihilate your bank account. This linen suit is a prime example.
There are still many professions that mandate a two-piece suit. Anything less just simply doesn't cut it, no matter how hot the temperatures might get. For those in corporate environments, Ted Baker has a sleek linen suit in navy, which looks just as structured as the traditional wool styles.
Tapered sweats or something similar are the best styles to wear for travel. But if you are the kind of fella who swears by a suit, Todd Snyder has just the thing. The brand's aptly named Traveler suit trousers is a cross between a tailored jogger (complete with a drawstring waist) and dress pants. And the jacket features a natural shoulder, which makes it easier to slip on and off.
When it comes to all things linen, 120% Lino is the name to know. The newish Italian label specializes in the material, offering a slew styles for every warm-weather occasion. Which means it has a number of suits in a variety of colors and cuts, all them sharply tailored. Case in point: this sharp linen suit in summer-ready white.
The Italians aren't the only ones that know a thing or two about fine tailoring. Here to rep the French is Sandro, a brand noted for its slim fits that you can mix and match, depending on the event on calendar. Together, this linen suit, in versatile tan, is the epitome of formal—but pair the jacket with jeans or the trousers with a Hawaiian shirt, and you have great casual separates.
Wearing linen can veer toward a more casual vibe, but this is not the case when it comes to Suitsupply. The brand cuts its suits with precision, offering the sharpest silhouettes. Indeed, it has a number of great linen options that follow this credo, but the one that caught our eye is this slim double-breasted style with subtle herringbone pattern.
If you've watched Gosford Park, Downton Abbey, or anything created by Julian Fellowes, you know that going to the countryside is an event. The men in these movies and shows never disappoint with their fits, wearing suits that are richly textured, expertly tailored, and reflect their sprawling woodland estates. Capturing all of this is this beautiful linen suit from Ralph Lauren.
Some men like to let things hang, preferring styles that drape over the body. And if that describes you, Barena breezy linen suit, which features a drawstring waistband and cuffed hems, is just what you need.
Etro is a master as prints and color, particularly paisley in a range of eye-catching hues. It has brought the same exuberance to the classic check pattern—this one combining gray, purple, and green beautifully.
When it comes to playing with proportions, Thom Browne is king. The designer offers looks, all with a school-boy bent, that crops sleeves, elongates hems, widens panels, or minimizes them. He always pushes the boundaries of what a suit can be. And this linen style is a great example of what he does best.
If there's one thing you need to know about Brunello Cucinelli, it's that he is a master of textiles. People call him the king of cashmere, and that title is definitely deserved. But this striped linen suit shows that he also has full command over an incredibly airy material.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Spero Therapeutics securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Spero Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6561 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 25, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the data submitted in support of the New Drug Application ("NDA") of Tebipenem HBr, an oral carbapenem-class antibiotic to treat complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis for adults, were insufficient to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval; (2) accordingly, it was unlikely that the FDA would approve the Tebipenem HBr NDA in its current form; (3) the foregoing would necessitate a significant workforce reduction and restructuring of Spero Therapeutics's operations; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Spero Therapeutics class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6561 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Yak Gotti insists he is not a snitch.
Reports surfaced on Thursday that Yak Gotti allegedly snitched on YSL members, including Young Thug, to whom he is signed to. Reports claim that the rapper assisted feds in building a case against the outfit since 2015, when he first came under police radar.
Yak Gotti is named in the 56-count RICO indictment against 28 YSL members, including Gunna and Young Thug, and was arrested in May.
The indictment named Gotti as being responsible for the 2015 murder of Donovan Thomas. Yak Gotti’s real name is Deamonte Kendrick, and according to the District Attorney, he, along with Arnold Martinez (Lil Duke) are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and participation in street gang activity contrary to the RICO Act.
The count for murder says that Yak Gotti and Lil Duke drove to the territory of a rival gang with the intention to murder another man in retaliation for a previous shooting committed by the rival gang. They had an AK 47 and a .40 caliber handgun and driving a car rented in Young Thug’s name the year before when they ended up in a high-speed chase with police. The car at point crashed, and both men fled on foot unsuccessful, and were later captured by police.
According to unconfirmed reports online, Yak Gotti confessed to owning the gun in that incident and related the reason he had for using the weapon- to retaliate for them beating him up.
The car in this particular offense rented in Young Thug’s name is listed in a count against the rapper in the RICO indictment. He is charged with murder. There are speculations that Yak Gotti had given police additional information about an unrelated incident during his interrogation in 2015, all of which further sinks YSL members.
Yak Gotti has released a statement via his Instagram account denying that he has snitched on YSL as he pointed out that he took on the consequences alone.
“2015 my Brudda never did a day in jail because I claimed my shit. I did 4 years fed with no tears,” he said before adding stop the cap (lies).
Meanwhile, the rapper attended court on Thursday for a bond hearing.
During the proceedings, it was revealed that in 2015 Yak Gotti told prosecutors that he gave Lil Duke a gun to retaliate against a rival gang in 2015. That information now forms part of the current RICO case against YSL members.
As for bond, it was denied by the presiding judge, who noted that the rapper is likely to be a threat to witnesses and likely to commit other crimes if released. A trial date for 9 January 2023 was set. | https://stkittsgazette.com/ysl-rapper-yak-gotti-denies-snitching-on-lil-duke-in-rico-case/ | 2022-06-02T22:49:26Z | https://stkittsgazette.com/ysl-rapper-yak-gotti-denies-snitching-on-lil-duke-in-rico-case/ | false | 10 |
Draymond Green recently claimed athletes are the “new media,” and Kevin Durant seems to be joining him in attempting to nudge shut Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless off their platforms.
During Wednesday’s First Take on ESPN, Smith fabricated the absurd hot take that Michael Jordan was bad for basketball because his star power was so great. “Michael Jordan is responsible, as much as anybody, for changing the game for the worse!” Smith said.
The opinion was met by plenty of warranted pushback, led by Kevin Durant who is never shy about calling someone out on Twitter. Not only did Durant blast Smith, but he took a major swipe at Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe as well, attacking the two most prominent debate shows in sports media.
“My theory is that guys like steve [Stephen A. Smith], skip [Bayless] and Shannon [Sharpe] have changed the game for the worse. Playas like Stephen and Michael can only push the game forward,” Durant tweeted.

Durant’s tweet led to a reply from Smith, prompting a back and forth, with the First Take host defending the influence he, Bayless, and Sharpe have in sports and the media.
“As for us changing the game for the worse, we disagree,” Smith tweeted. “But here’s the news for you @ KDTrey5. We ain’t going any damn place. For every @stephenasmith, Skip, @ShannonSharpe, and others, there’s thousands more coming down the pike. We’re not going away. We multiply. Sorry!!!!”
???@KDTrey5. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. Love both MJ @StephenCurry30. Was only alluding to MJ being so great, it enticed folks to focus on individuality instead of team. Nothing more.

The desire that athletes such as Durant, Green, Patrick Beverley, JJ Redick, and others have to transform sports media should be welcomed with open arms. Watching them call out Smith or Bayless on some of their hot takes is a breath of fresh air. But not all athletes offer unbiased reporting, which is why there remains a need for more traditional media including Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless, who despite their propensity for hot takes, still do a good job of moving the needle for sports conversations. | https://awfulannouncing.com/twitter/kevin-durant-stephen-a-smith-skip-bayless-michael-jordan.html | 2022-06-02T22:51:02Z | https://awfulannouncing.com/twitter/kevin-durant-stephen-a-smith-skip-bayless-michael-jordan.html | true | 1 |
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — A former Georgia court clerk accused of stealing money from fines and fees his office collected was sentenced Thursday to more than 12 years in federal prison.
A U.S. District Court judge in Columbus imposed the sentence for 64-year-old Willie Demps of neighboring Phenix City, Alabama. Demps pleaded guilty to bank fraud and tax evasion charges in the case earlier this year.
Federal prosecutors said Demps committed fraud that cost Muscogee County millions of dollars when he served as deputy court clerk. Demps was responsible for fines, fees and other payments the office collected — often in cash that was kept in an office safe. Investigators found the office took in $5.5 million during a decade-long period spanning 2010 to 2019, but only $210 was deposited into official accounts.
During that same period, prosecutors said, Demps wrote 330 separate checks from the clerk's office totaling $1.3 million to several accomplices, who cashed the checks and received a cut after giving the money to Demps.
Judge Clay Land ordered Demps to pay $1.3 million in restitution to the clerk's office and nearly $360,000 in uncollected taxes to the IRS, with payments coming from garnishment of Demps' retirement benefits.
Five other defendants were also sentenced for crimes related to the fraud case. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Ex-court-clerk-in-Georgia-gets-12-years-for-17215958.php | 2022-06-02T22:52:03Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Ex-court-clerk-in-Georgia-gets-12-years-for-17215958.php | false | 12 |

About 70 percent of American helmet buyers are unaware of rotational motion, a key contributor to traumatic brain injuries
STOCKHOLM, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey suggests a large disconnect in Americans' education around concussions and how to reduce the risk of them using helmets.
In the United States, the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), especially in sports, has been called a crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 64,362 TBI-related deaths in 2020 and 223,135 TBI-related hospitalizations in 2019. – more than 611 TBI-related hospitalizations and 176 TBI-related deaths per day1. In 2020, the CDC also reported that 7 percent of U.S. children suffered a TBI2, and that each year in the U.S., about 3.8 million concussions occur from sports-related injuries3.
The survey, which was conducted by Nielsen, a consumer survey company, and commissioned by Mips, a helmet safety technology company, polled a representative sample of 1,000 Americans, split evenly between male and female, ranging 18-65 years old. All survey subjects have either bought a helmet in the past three years or plan to buy a helmet in the next six months for any of the following applications: cycling, rock climbing, horse riding, motorcycling, skiing, snowboarding, team sports, and safety equipment.
Among the most significant findings of the survey is that 70 percent of American helmet buyers are unaware of the term rotational motion. Lack of understanding of rotational motion, a key contributor to TBIs, appears to correlate with Americans' helmet purchasing decisions; 7 out of 10 American helmet buyers did not consider at all how well the helmet protects against rotational motion when buying a helmet.
Rotational motion is a common cause for concussions and more severe brain injuries in oblique hits to the head. In most instances when you fall while moving and hit your head, you don't hit your head in a straight 90-degree angle towards the surface. Instead, you often fall and hit your head at an angle, similar to how a tennis ball makes contact with the ground after being hit with a racket. When your head hits something at an angle, it typically exposes your head to rotational motion, which studies have shown can be more dangerous than linear motion.
Pioneering studies from the mid-20th century have shown that rotational motion is a key component in some traumatic brain injuries such as concussions and diffuse axonal injury4,5,6. The rotational motion causes shearing of the brain tissue, which can cause traumatic brain injuries. After these pioneering studies, more recent studies have supported the prevalence of rotational motion in diffuse traumatic brain injuries7,8,9,10. Despite this evidence, today there are only two helmet testing standards that account for rotational motion (FIM and ECE22.06), both of which pertain only to motorcycle helmets in the EU.
The survey also found that about 40 percent of American helmet buyers have suffered a concussion in the past, 60 percent of which were not wearing a helmet at the time of the concussion. Additionally, comfort and fit are the most important criteria that Americans consider when purchasing a helmet, followed by perceived protection against head injuries, meeting specific safety regulations, and price.
"Around the world, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are often poorly understood," says Peter Halldin, Co-Founder of Mips. "Improving safety and helping increase education around TBIs – there is nothing more important to us than that. Think of a parent for example, when buying a
helmet for their child, or you buying a helmet for yourself or a loved one. If people aren't equipped with relevant information, how can they make informed decisions?"

Old Rite Aid building to be future home of Emergency Management Agency, Health Department
ASHLAND - County Commissioners continued to work Thursday, June 2 on the renovation of the Rite Aid building on Claremont Avenue that will be the future home of the Emergency Management Agency and the County Health Department.
The building was purchased for $850,000 with another potential $22,500 of architectural services approved.

The three commissioners all approved a recommendation from VSWC Architects to “short-list” three design firms for the renovation of the building.
“We are working on a preliminary layout,” said Commissioner Denny Bittle. “That is part of the design-build specifications that we need to go out for a bid. We are hoping that in the next two months we will have that design and layout done. This is kind of the same way we did the dog shelter. We will get proposals and then get down to ideas.”
Commissioners authorized the Ashland County Juvenile Court to apply for a $274,274.18 subsidy grant from the State of Ohio, Department of Youth Services.
A contract with Kofile Technologies was approved in the amount of $79,984.82 for the digitization of plat book records for the Ashland County Recorder. The funds will be paid for from the American Rescue Plan Act funding.
One appropriation was made to Community Corrections Grant for $3,662 for the distribution of state fines.
Travel was approved for Job and Family Services employee Jen Boerwinkle to attend three different training sessions. Approved was travel on June 21, Aug. 8 and Aug. 23 at no cost to the county.
EMA Director Mark Rafeld was approved for travel at an EMAO Executive Meeting on June 3 with estimated expenses of $60.
One bid was opened for the 2022 Guardrail Installation Project but was unable to be accepted as it was over the 10% allowable overage. The bid from Lake Erie Construction was for $336,275, but the estimate from County Engineer Ed Meixner was for $291,666. Bidding for the project will begin again.
“Up to $300,000 of this money will come from federal funds through ODOT,” explained Meixner.
New Dog Shelter building nearing final stages
Bittle said that a “couple dates” have been picked for the groundbreaking of the new dog shelter.
“We picked a couple of dates I am going to propose with Homeward Bound,” said Bittle. “We have picked two dates, but I don’t want to put those out until I talk with them. That phone call will be made today, so I would expect today or tomorrow to have a ground-breaking date which will be fairly quickly.”
UP NEXT The commissioners will meet Thursday, June 9 at 9 a.m. in the Commissioner’s Conference Room on the second floor of the County Office Building. The meetings are open to the public, but also live-streamed on the Ashland, OH County Government Facebook page. | https://www.times-gazette.com/story/news/2022/06/02/preliminary-layouts-underway-rite-aid-building-renovation/7485629001/ | 2022-06-02T22:57:40Z | https://www.times-gazette.com/story/news/2022/06/02/preliminary-layouts-underway-rite-aid-building-renovation/7485629001/ | true | 1 |
A viral TikTok criticizing a robot coffee shop in the San Francisco airport sparked controversy over tech culture and automation.
The viral video, which has over 55,900 views and was posted by user Gianna (@cottagecore666), shows a coffee shop run by a computer ordering screen and mechanical robot arm that makes and delivers coffee. The ordering screen in the video also advertises for unknown reasons what appears to be a Bored Ape non-fungible token (NFT).
“Bro i hate san francisco so much why does the airport have a coffee robot with a goddamn nft on the order screen,” the TikToker wrote on the video.
“I h8 tech culture, i say as i prepare to enter a career in tech,” the caption reads.
@cottagecore666 i h8 tech culture, i say as i prepare to enter a career in tech #sf #sanfrancisco #sfo #bayarea ♬ The Home Depot Beat – The Home Depot
The robotic coffee shop in the video is Cafe X, which has two locations in the San Francisco airport and one in Dubai. Cafe X has been around for a few years now at the San Francisco airport, shutting down briefly in 2020, and has received a lot of attention online. In 2019, NBC News reported the new coffee robot at Cafe X could make over 1,000 drink variations and create 6 drinks at a time.
Users in the comments section of the viral TikTok about Cafe X debated the robotic coffee shop, with some users calling the technology “dystopian.” Others expressed distaste for the use of NFTs in its advertising and criticized “tech culture” in San Francisco.
“Hate west coast tech bro culture,” one user commented.
On the flip side, some users defended the robot shop and new technology.
“It’s cool get over it,” one person argued.
Others argued about the inconveniences posed by a robotic ordering system and accused Cafe X of not assisting them with failed orders.
“My, along with other people’s coffee, got stuck and we never got reimbursed,” one user criticized.
Other TikTokers made videos about Cafe X, with some promoting the store and even offering discounts on its products. Users on Twitter have also debated the robotic coffee shop, with users either praising its efficacy or describing it as a dystopian nightmare.
“This episode of Black Mirror is horrifying,” one Twitter user said in 2020.
Cafe X is definitely not the only company to experiment with robot technology and automation. As previously reported by the Daily Dot, this year TikTokers debated a robot ordering system at a Checkers drive-thru restaurant.
In 2021, one McDonald’s location in Chicago also launched a voice-operated drive-thru system. In 2019, Domino’s Pizza also began to implement artificial intelligence technology to check pizza orders for accuracy, and Pizza Hut started to test delivery robots. In 2020, KFC also announced plans for chicken-cooking robots. And in 2021, Chick-fil-A also began testing delivery robots.
The Daily Dot reached out to Cafe X via email and to Gianna via TikTok comment. | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/robot-barista-debate-tiktok/ | 2022-06-02T22:59:50Z | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/robot-barista-debate-tiktok/ | true | 1 |
The weather is heating up, it’s almost stone fruit season, and the hot dogs are sizzling on the BBQ, which means it’s finally time for summer—and to many, that signals the start of camp, where there are no parents around, just teenage counselors trying to get as lit as possible. As a former camp kid who lived 10 months for 2 (IYKYK), I’ve always looked back on my summers living in cabins and telling secrets under the beam of a flashlight as some of my happiest memories, where I developed crushes, won color wars, and cried when it was time to say goodbye.
That’s why I decided to set my next young adult novel, The Counselors, at an elite summer camp. While, thankfully, my real-life experience differs from the ones of my characters (spoiler: it’s a thriller…there’s murder!), but writing about camp transported me back to those days that felt like weeks and the weeks that felt like years. If you, like me, are feeling all the summertime nostalgia, here are nine books about sleepaway camp that will send you straight back to that bonfire, surrounded by your best friends and a big ol’ stack of s’mores.
My latest thriller follows 18-year-old Goldie, who’s just experienced the worst year of her life and is so excited to return to camp as a counselor with her two best friends, Ava and Imogen. Except when the summer starts, she realizes there’s more distance between them than ever, especially since Goldie’s been keeping a massive secret. When a local teen is found dead in the lake, Goldie can’t help but think the death isn’t an accident, and as she uncovers the truth about what’s really happened at her beloved Camp Alpine Lake, she must question those closest to her, including her best friends.
Six ambitious and carefree teenagers meet at a performing-arts camp and develop a tight-knit bond based on their shared creative spirit. But throughout this sparkling epic, Wolitzer shows how time and luck can warp even the most bright-eyed of ingenues. Some of these friends will make their dreams come true and become wildly successful and famous, while others, including the protagonist Jules Jacobson, will find themselves leading depressingly average lives. What results is an all-encompassing novel about how greed, envy, and desire can affect even the closest of friendships.
Amanda Brooks is your classic New York City gal about town, complete with a swanky Tribeca apartment and a devoted boyfriend. But she’s also keeping a dark secret about what really happened when she was at Camp Catalpa with her two friends, Catherine and Meg. Although they haven’t talked about it since, the past starts poking its head through her new lovely life, and Amanda has to reunite with Catherine and Meg to finally put their ugly childhood behind them. It’s a sizzling thriller that will have you rushing toward the end.
Abby signs up for a DNA test only to learn that she actually has a secret sister, a legit Instagram star named Savvy. She has no idea why her parents gave Savvy up for adoption, so Abby finds herself at a summer camp with Savvy, her longtime crush Leo, and a whole bunch of questions she’d really like answers to. Sweet, tender, and full of heart-pounding coming-of-age moments, You Have a Match is as sweet as a s’more.
Back when Emma was a kid at Camp Nightingale, three of her friends disappeared while playing the classic game of Two Truths and a Lie. Now, making waves in the art world, Emma’s invited back to camp to be the new painting instructor and she uses the position to find out what really happened to her friends all those years ago. But since this is a book by thriller star Riley Sager, readers can expect scares and danger lurking in every corner.
Summer camp turns horrific when Mars awakens to find that his sister has run all the way home from a prestigious summer camp called Aspen—and that he’s actually killed her in self-defense after everyone suggests she’s gone crazy. But Mars can’t believe what’s happened and returns to Aspen to find answers about his sister. There, he finds a group of girls known as the Honeys, who will reveal the truth—if he makes it out alive.
Teenager Randy has always come to Camp Outland, a camp for queer kids. But when he returns this summer, he’s going by “Del” and has transformed into what he thinks is a totally masculine dude, giving up things he loves including show tunes, in order to entice his crush, Hudson. Randy embarks on a journey of self-discovery as he tries to figure out who he really is and what masculinity means to him. Camp is totally sweet and tender, with a heavy dose of self-acceptance.
8‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,’ by Ann Brashares
Longtime fans of the iconic series won’t forget that in the first Sisterhood, many of Bridget’s chapters take place while she attends soccer camp in Baja, California. There she falls for dreamy coach Eric. Heart-wrenching, Sisterhood is a classic for a reason thanks to the realistic, devoted friendships between the girls.
Graphic novel Flamer follows Aiden Navarro through the summer between middle school and high school where everything feels new and different, like his whole world is changing. As Aiden tries to dodge bullies and fights, he also bonds with Elias and starts questioning his sexuality with raw feelings and compassion.

A refrain from a Joni Mitchell song once said “you don’t know what you’ve got ... till it’s gone”. That laments how being short-sighted can lead to an unwelcome end result that can be irreversible.
The fate of Wakefield Elementary School should be seen as a case in point. This school exists as the only elementary school in the village of Wakefield. As such, it is not just a building, it is a focal point. There is no downside to having a safely walkable school that is much appreciated by residents of all ages.
Closing this school has been attempted in the past. The vast majority of residents rose up to reject this travesty. With a sea of signs that proclaimed ‘Why Wakefield?,’ the voters made a clear mandate that this was clearly the wrong path. This was a proclamation that said we must rise above petty politics.
Fast forward to 2022 and once again the agenda to close our school is here.
When the reported argument was “We can’t keep doing the same thing expecting different results,” a better explanation is called for. One would think that for a decision this important, good, solid points would be made, not an offhand remark that meant nothing.
Is not a fact that Wakefield Elementary School is not only the top elementary school in South Kingstown but 14th in the whole state? Were there different results this new school committee expected? If so, what were they? The bottom line is we have a school that not only is functioning well academically but also socially.
It’s heartwarming to see students, parents, grandparents and siblings gathered on the playground at the close of school. It defies logic to bus all those children out of our village.
Next year will be South Kingstown’s tricentennial celebration. What path will be charted for the future? What past accomplishments will be pointed to with pride? Does anyone think that closing Wakefield school will be one of them?
Registering for kindergarten for the coming school year has already been eliminated for our school. Let’s put a stop to this process before it’s too late.
As the song said, “they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?”

Rovers recruit exciting Ethan!
By Blackburn Rovers FC | https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/may/30/ethan-arrives-/ | 2022-06-02T23:10:36Z | https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/may/30/ethan-arrives-/ | true | null |
MENTOR, Ohio — The Mentor Fire Department has partnered with Mentor High to create an EMT Academy to train high school students early and help with recruiting.
At Mentor High, students are saving lives and getting ahead in their careers. Alyssa Cruz and Madyson Stauss are both among the first graduating class from the program. Cruz wants to be a doctor and Stauss an EMT, both say the class helped them ahead of their careers.
“We cover stuff like airway management, they get CPR certification throughout the course. Along with shock management, cardiology, pharmacology backporting splinting, transporting. We have gone to dive drills, we've gone to jaws of life, extrication drills,” said Jerry Craddock, the teacher of the EMT academy
Jerry Craddock is a retired fireman that trains high school students over the span of a year, everything they would be taught in EMT training.
“It challenges them physically; it challenges them mentally. And the other thing that's sometimes difficult to teach a stress,” said Craddock.
This class and its training are also helping the Mentor Fire Department recruit.
“It's right now we're a little slow. With recruitment company everything we can to get new applicants in,” said Mentor Deputy Fire Chief, Robert Evans.
Evans says recruitment has been a battle for many departments across the area.
“A lot of kids think they need to go to college for four years in order to get a job that pays well. In our profession, two years with the training, you can have a very good paying job with very good benefits,” said Evans.
So departments are getting creative, utilizing social media, hiring part-timers and even creating school programs like the one at Mentor High.
“This year is the first year for this program. They just graduated their class and I’m expecting a lot of you're going on to the fire training,” said Evans.
The students love the class.
“I definitely didn't realize how much I would have loved this field if I didn't do this right away,” said Cruz.
“The stuff that we learned throughout the years are not stuff you're going to learn anywhere else,” said Strauss.
And so does Craddock, because he gets to teach students about the job he did for 20-plus years.
“It's the world's greatest job. There's no question about it. You ask any firefighter about it. It's the toughest, most challenging job that you'll love for the rest of your career,” said Craddock.
All of the graduates will be heading to more training for their careers. Mentor High says next year's EMT course is already full with a waitlist. If you are interested in being a fireman or an EMT go to the Mentor fire website.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index has been quite volatile in recent weeks. The Canadian benchmark index went on a free fall of 10.45% between April 20 and May 12, 2022, before bouncing back. The index is up by 5.30% from its May 12, 2022, level at writing. However, the volatility could continue in the coming weeks.
Inflation is still at historically high rates. The possibility of a recession, global supply chain issues, and rising geopolitical tensions point toward hedging your bets on safe-haven assets right now. Gold, the rare yellow metal, is often seen as a viable hedge against uncertainty in stock markets.
Metals and mining stocks with significant business operations related to gold tend to deliver market-beating returns when gold prices are higher.
Gold stocks trade for heavily discounted prices at writing. However, continued uncertainty in equity markets could see gold prices rise. The more the focus shifts towards gold as a safe haven, the likelier gold stocks are to deliver superior returns through capital appreciation.
I will discuss two gold stocks that you can consider adding to your portfolio today to take advantage of rising gold prices if the market volatility continues.
Dundee Precious Metals
Dundee Precious Metals (TSX:DPM) is a $1.48 billion market capitalization gold mining company headquartered in Toronto. The international mining company has operations in acquiring, exploring, developing, and mining precious metals. Dundee Precious Metals also generates significant revenues through strategic investments in other gold-producing companies.
Dundee Precious Metals stock trades for $7.81 per share at writing. The movement in its share prices has been volatile but mostly horizontal year to date. The stock boasts a 2.61% dividend yield at current levels. Its share prices are down by 26.23% from its October 2020 highs.
Investing in its shares right now could help you capture a decent dividend yield and leverage capital appreciation in the coming weeks for wealth growth.
Agnico Eagle Mines
Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM)(NYSE:AEM) is a $31.12 billion market capitalization gold producing company headquartered in Toronto. The company owns and operates mines in Canada, Mexico, and Finland.
It is among the senior gold mining companies in the country with operations spanning more than 60 years. With most of its operational mines based in Canada, Agnico Eagle Mines stock is a strong play on the domestic gold market.
Agnico Eagle Mines stock trades for $68.14 per share at writing, and it boasts a juicy 3.00% dividend yield. The senior gold mining company’s shares trade at a 38.07% discount from its August 2020 high at current levels. An increase in gold prices in the coming weeks could spell excellent news for its shareholders through capital appreciation.
Foolish takeaway
Gold stocks could provide you with a substantial boost through capital appreciation if the market uncertainty persists. Even if the stock market does not go through a considerable downturn, these gold stocks can offer decent long-term growth and serve as an ideal hedge against inflation. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/02/2-discounted-gold-stocks-to-buy-right-now/ | 2022-06-02T23:15:39Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/06/02/2-discounted-gold-stocks-to-buy-right-now/ | true | 1 |

TORONTO (AP) — Alek Manoah pitched into the eighth inning, Teoscar Hernández homered and the Toronto Blue Jays extended their winning streak to eight games by beating the Chicago White Sox 8-3 Thursday.
Santiago Espinal had three hits and three RBIs as the surging Blue Jays won for the 12th time in 15 games. Chicago was swept in the three-game series and has lost six of eight.
Manoah (6-1) allowed three runs and six hits, walked one and struck out five in 7 2/3 innings. He’s 9-0 with a 2.12 ERA in 13 career home starts.
Leury Garcia and Luis Robert each singled to begin the first against Manoah, and a two-out walk to Gavin Sheets loaded the bases. Manoah escaped unscathed by catching Yasmani Grandal looking at a slider for strike three.
That was the first in a streak of 16 consecutive outs for Manoah, who didn’t allow another baserunner until José Abreu singled to begin the seventh. Sheets followed by grounding into a double play.
Johnny Cueto (0-2) allowed three earned runs and seven hits in six innings. He walked none and struck out five.
Raimel Tapia scored twice and Hernández connected for a two-run homer, his third on the season, as the Blue Jays built a 4-0 lead after six innings. Hernández’s homer was his first since May 14 at Tampa Bay.
Manoah left after Robert hit a two-out, two-run double in the eighth. Adam Cimber came on to face Yoán Moncada, who cut it to 4-3 with an RBI single. Abreu flied out to end the threat.
Espinal had a two-run single and Bo Bichette added an RBI hit as Toronto pulled away with a four-run eighth against a trio of White Sox relievers.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: LHP Hyun Jin Ryu was placed on the 15-day IL because of a sore forearm and RHP Jeremy Beasley was selected from Triple-A Buffalo. … OF George Springer (non-COVID illness) sat for the second straight game. … Vladimir Guerrero Jr. started at DH and Cavan Biggio was at 1B.
ROSTER MOVES
The White Sox added RHP Jimmy Lambert, who took the roster spot of RHP Dylan Cease. Cease is on the restricted list, but could not be replaced until three days had elapsed since his last outing, Sunday against the Cubs.
PUTTERING AROUND
With time on his hands as the DH, Guerrero was seen using a bat and baseball to line up a putt in the dugout while his teammates fielded in the sixth.
PUSHING IT
Tapia did a pair of pushups in the dirt cutout at home plate after sliding home safely with Toronto’s second run in the fifth.
UP NEXT
White Sox: RHP Vince Velasquez (2-3, 5.30) starts Friday as the White Sox open a three-game series in Florida against the Rays. LHP Shane McClanahan (5-2, 2.01) goes for the Rays.
Blue Jays: LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-1, 3.48) gets the ball Friday as the Blue Jays open a three-game series against Minnesota. RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is expected to make his season debut for the Twins.

Paris Saint-Germain's Ander Herrera shares heart-felt message to departing Manchester United veteran Juan Mata
Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera shares his thoughts on the end of fellow countryman Juan Mata's Manchester United career.
Ander Herrera left United for Parisian super-team Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 after sharing five years with Mata at the Red Devils.
The pair won several accolades together at the club, including the 2015/16 FA Cup and the 2016/17 Europa League.
They aren't strangers to winning trophies together, having won the 2011 UEFA European U21 Championship together for Spain.
In the Twitter post, the PSG star addresses the departing midfielder, acknowledging that Mata was a big draw in going to United.
Herrera says that the 34-year-old will be leaving as a "legend".
The exit of the Spaniard alongside Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba is part of a dramatic overhaul of the squad at the start of new manager Erik Ten Hag's reign.
With the loss of key midfield options, the former Ajax manager will hope to reunite with captain of his previous side Frenkie De Jong, who's Barcelona future is in doubt due to the club's current financial difficulties.
Options for the midfield could also include Donny van de Beek and Andreas Pereira who are currently on loan at Everton and Flamengo respectively. | https://www.si.com/soccer/manchesterunited/news/paris-saint-germains-ander-herrera-shares-heart-felt-message-to-departing-manchester-united-veteran-juan-mata | 2022-06-02T23:22:57Z | https://www.si.com/soccer/manchesterunited/news/paris-saint-germains-ander-herrera-shares-heart-felt-message-to-departing-manchester-united-veteran-juan-mata | false | 1 |
The Dodgers roster has changed over the years, but SooHoo is a constant with the team, chronicling season after season along with major sporting events in Southern California and across the U.S.
"I was born right over here at White Memorial (hospital) in East L.A. and I lived in Silver Lake all my life," SooHoo said in an interview with ABC7 at Dodger Stadium. "My dad's a graduate of USC. He and my mom would take me to USC football games."
SooHoo, a fifth-generation Chinese-American, seemed destined to be a sports photographer.
"I'd go to the the games, it's like wall-to-wall people. How do you get down there on the field?" he wondered. "There's nobody on the field. There's no media back in the day, there's just a couple of camera guys. How do you get down there?"
Restaurateur credits his perseverance and success to lessons from his father, a Hiroshima survivor
SooHoo's love for photography began when he was a student at his dad's alma mater, USC.
He recalled his first game as a photographer for the Daily Trojan: "Walking down that big tunnel. There's nothing more awesome than going down that Coliseum tunnel from the street. It was just phenomenal."
SooHoo has turned his passion with the camera into a very accomplished career. He's been documenting one of the most historic sports franchises, through the lens, for the past 37 years.
"To know that I've lasted through the generations of ownerships and PR persons, GMs, the players -- it's incredible," he said.
Over the years, he's photographed "phenomenal" moments like Kirk Gibson's legendary home run in the 1988 World Series, a 2008 exhibition game against the Red Sox at the Coliseum.
"That was one of the most tremendous events I've been to," he said.
But the Dodgers aren't the only team SooHoo has captured.
"I was also shooting the L.A. Raiders, Anaheim Rams -- even back to the USFL when Steve Young played quarterback for the L.A. Express," he said. "My library's pretty deep." | https://abc7.com/dodgers-photographer-jon-soohoo-asian-american-and-pacific-islander-heritage-month/11919894/ | 2022-06-02T23:23:39Z | https://abc7.com/dodgers-photographer-jon-soohoo-asian-american-and-pacific-islander-heritage-month/11919894/ | true | 1 |
Baby Monaco Mai Jenkins was introduced to the world on Thursday as her mother, Jeannie Mai, introduced her to her YouTube show audience members.
Jeanie Mai Jenkins and Jeezy welcomed Monaco 5 months ago, and while the world received coveted bits of information about her, such as her gender and later her name, a glimpse of the baby was not forthcoming.
Jeannie Mai had shared details about Monaco’s name and its significance of it to her parents, and she even gave her followers a tour of the baby’s room and sweet décor.
However, this is the first time she has shown Monaco, noting that her mommy instincts have naturally kicked in as she enjoyed baby Monaco before sharing her with the rest of the world.
Ahead of the big reveal on her Hello Hunnay YouTube show, Mrs. Jenkins hinted that she had a special 5-month-old guest on her show.
“[This] might be the most exciting episode I’ve had here on Hello Hunnay. You’re going to meet someone very very special in my life, somebody, new, somebody new, someone shiny, somebody who smells good like 5-months-old good,” she teased.
Mai then switches to a feature of an earlier infant stage, Monaco, with whom Jeezy is seen soothing Monaco and several other sweet family moments with her grandmother, great-grandmother, and family members on both Jeanie’s and Jeezy’s side and her christening. The feature ends with Monaco reaching the five months mark as her mother excitedly calls for her grandma Mai to bring out Monaco.
An emotional Jeanie notes that she’s so scared to reveal her daughter because the “online [community] is so mean.”
“Knowing that the world is a really mean place sometimes, knowing I can protect myself and I can block y’all, I can ignore the comments but you can’t do that with a baby so this is why it was so hard to get to a place to share Monaco,” she added.
Monaco, who is sporting a sleeveless cheetah print dress with an oversized yellow bow headband, is cheerful as her mother introduces her.
“It’s time to share the most amazing, exciting, newest member of the Hello Hunnay family,” says Jeanie says.
Adding that, she was not only nervous to show her baby but took time to consider it.
“I got really scared, guarded and protected,” she says. “Please excuse the nerves.”
She noted that everything she hears Monaco cries it does things to her body as she hinted at her mother’s instinct and dealing with anxiety as she worries about her daughter a lot. | https://trinidadtribune.com/jeannie-mai-shares-first-photo-of-hers-jeezys-daughter-monaco-mai-jenkins/ | 2022-06-02T23:24:25Z | https://trinidadtribune.com/jeannie-mai-shares-first-photo-of-hers-jeezys-daughter-monaco-mai-jenkins/ | true | 10 |

Tropical storm warnings were posted on Thursday for Florida and Cuba as the system that battered Mexico moves to the east.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm once known as Agatha in the Pacific Ocean will be known as Alex in the Atlantic Ocean basin. The tropical storm warning extends from Longboat Key on the Gulf Coast across the southern Florida peninsula, including Lake Okeechobee and the Florida Keys.
The U.S. National Weather Service says the Cuban government has issued a tropical storm watch for the provinces of Matanzas, Mayabeque, La Habana, Artemisa, Pinar del Rio and the Isle of Youth.
“Heavy rains will begin to affect South Florida and the Keys Friday and continue through Saturday,” the Hurricane Center said in an online post. Also predicted is storm surge and flooding, the severity of which depends on the timing of tides, the Associated Press reported. | https://www.kztv10.com/news/national/storm-warnings-posted-for-florida-as-system-moves-into-gulf | 2022-06-02T23:35:01Z | https://www.kztv10.com/news/national/storm-warnings-posted-for-florida-as-system-moves-into-gulf | true | null |

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.”
___
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.”

The latest member of the billionaire club is a slam dunk.
LeBron James, the prolific four-time NBA champion whose business ventures include a multi-purpose entertainment company, is officially a billionaire, Forbes reported Thursday.
James boasts pretax earnings of $1.2 billion, according to Forbes, making him the first active NBA player to reach the billionaire threshold.
The financial outlet says James’ stake in his SpringHill Company — which has produced films such as “Space Jam: A New Legacy” and the upcoming “House Party” — is worth $300 million, and values his multiple pieces of real estate at $80 million.
The Los Angeles Lakers star, who has signed NBA contracts worth nearly $400 million over the course of his 19-season playing career, is also said to have $500 million in cash and other investments, while his stake in the Fenway Sports Group is valued at $90 million.
In 2014, James told GQ that the prospect of becoming a billionaire was his “biggest milestone.”
“I want to maximize my business,” James said at the time.
James, 37, has recorded the second-most points in NBA history with 37,062, and the seventh-most assists with 10,045. He won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat, one with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and one with the Lakers.
James also starred in “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” which came out last year. | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/national-sports/ny-lebron-james-billionaire-lakers-20220602-4lrpst6g5za3bmt56s3wxqkdgu-story.html | 2022-06-02T23:40:58Z | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/national-sports/ny-lebron-james-billionaire-lakers-20220602-4lrpst6g5za3bmt56s3wxqkdgu-story.html | false | 18 |

Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa was surely in for a treat as the fearless Gabrielle Union posed poolside exclusively for husband Dwyane Wade on June 1, 2022. What better way to welcome in the glorious month of June? Beautifully so, the photo highlights Union's waist-length braids falling down her torso.
The actor and co-founder of Flawless By Gabrielle Union has a way with hairstyles, and this post is only further proof. She brings creativity, functionality, and a constant sense of effortlessness to each and every hair look she showcases. But this time, in particular, she brought it to the next level. Bare-skinned Union poses, back facing the camera with her melanated glow, her arms stretched above her head, and her hands intertwined atop her braids. I am, as I am sure all of you will be, drooling over the entire vibe of this photo. Ah, to be Dwyane Wade… And as I took a closer look at Union's soft, neutral-toned manicure peaking through, I noticed a portion of her luscious locks swirled into what becomes a half-up, half-down pony.
I couldn't resist but to deep dive into the comments, where the queen of captions wrote in response to one, "you already know what we giving this summmmmmeeerrrrr." 10-year-old me, an East Compton Clover stan, is proud to say that this Bring It On alum definitely knows the vibes.

Sony kicked off its latest State of Play with a reveal a lot of us horror fans have been waiting on: the Resident Evil 4 remake release date.
Capcom has been finding a whole new audience for its classic horror series with the fantastic Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake (although the former is the real standout star of the two). We knew that the team was also working hard on a remake of Resident Evil 4, the game which, for many of the series’ fans is the high point of the entire franchise. Not only did Capcom show the game in action in a new trailer but it also revealed when we’d be able to get our bloodstained mitts on it.
Sadly, we won’t be playing the Resident Evil 4 remake this year – The long drought of new games continues – but we know the wait will be worth it. The Spanish village at the heart of Resi 4 looks richly detailed and contemporary with the gothic, Eastern European town of Resident Evil Village.
Check it out for yourself in the trailer below:
But what about that all-important release date? The Resident Evil 4 remake’s release date is March 24, 2023. Less than a year to wait, but, still, there are a lot of dark nights between now and then that we’ll be able to sleep far too easily for my liking. | https://www.techradar.com/au/news/resident-evil-4-remake-release-date-revealed | 2022-06-02T23:58:05Z | https://www.techradar.com/au/news/resident-evil-4-remake-release-date-revealed | true | 6 |
Reverse Termination Fee of $250 Million Offers Greater Stockholder Protections
DENVER and MIRAMAR, Fla., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit Airlines, Inc. ("Spirit" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAVE) and Frontier Group Holdings, Inc. ("Frontier") (NASDAQ: ULCC), parent company of Frontier Airlines, Inc., today announced an amendment to their previously announced merger agreement dated February 5, 2022.
Under the terms of the amended merger agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, Frontier would pay a reverse termination fee of $250 million, or $2.23 per share, to Spirit in the unlikely event the combination is not consummated for antitrust reasons.
William A. Franke, the Chair of Frontier's Board of Directors and the managing partner of Indigo Partners, Frontier's majority shareholder, said, "We continue to believe in the strategic rationale of a combined Spirit and Frontier, which brings together two complementary businesses to create America's most competitive ultra-low fare airline. Given our conviction that regulators will find this combination to be pro-competitive, we have agreed to institute a reverse termination fee. We look forward to bringing these two companies together and delivering on the benefits for all stakeholders."
Ted Christie, President and CEO of Spirit, said, "Since announcing our transaction with Frontier, we have had extensive constructive conversations with our stockholders, who have expressed support for the strategic rationale of our combination but a desire for additional stockholder protections. After discussing this feedback with the Frontier Board and management team, we have agreed to amend the merger agreement. We look forward to closing the transaction and bringing more ultra-low fares to more people in more places."
"We continue to be excited about the combination with Spirit, which will create a true nationwide ultra-low fare airline to compete against the dominant 'Big Four' carriers and other high-cost airlines," said Barry Biffle, President and CEO of Frontier. "We will continue to work closely with the Spirit team to successfully complete the transaction and deliver enhanced value to all of our stakeholders."
"The combination of a higher reverse termination fee and a much greater likelihood to close in a Frontier merger provides substantially more regulatory protection for Spirit stockholders than the transaction proposed by JetBlue," said Mac Gardner, Chairman of the Board of Spirit. "We look forward to closing the transaction with Frontier and giving Spirit stockholders the opportunity to benefit from pandemic recovery and share in approximately $500 million in annual net synergies."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II will miss a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral for her 70 year reign on Friday, after experiencing "some discomfort" during the first day of her Platinum Jubilee celebration.
The Queen appeared at Buckingham Palace on Thursday during the festivities and participated in a beacon lighting ceremony from Windsor Castle in the evening.
"The Queen greatly enjoyed today's Birthday Parade and Flypast but did experience some discomfort," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
"Taking into account the journey and activity required to participate in tomorrow's National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, Her Majesty with great reluctance has concluded that she will not attend," it continued.
Earlier Thursday, the 96-year-old Queen looked on from the palace's famous balcony at a sea of red, white and blue as huge, flag-waving crowds flocked to the Mall to see the monarch and her family.
The area around Buckingham Palace and nearby St James' Park was packed with homegrown and international tourists -- some of whom had camped out overnight -- to witness the first event of the bumper four-day weekend celebrations.
And after seven decades of duty, the sovereign certainly lived up to her reputation as a loyal crowd-pleaser. She may not have been up to the ceremonial role of riding on horseback as part of Trooping the Colour, but she nonetheless delighted fans by her presence on the balcony following the military parade.
Dressed in a dusky dove blue Angela Kelly ensemble with matching hat, the Queen smiled as she received the salute as soldiers and officers returned from Horse Guards Parade following the conclusion of her birthday parade.
The "major military spectacle" -- as it was described by the UK Ministry of Defence -- involved "months of training and centuries of tradition," as well as 1,500 soldiers and officers, 400 musicians, 250 horses and 70 aircraft.
Prince Charles, heir to the throne, represented his mother in the ceremonial role which she has traditionally undertaken. He rode on horseback, closely followed by his sister Princess Anne and his son, Prince William.
Other members of the royal family rode down The Mall in carriages to the parade ground -- among them Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by her three children and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
As the Colour of the Irish Guards was trooped at Horse Guards Parade, during which military bands played in formation and undertook a tricky manoeuvre called "the spinwheel," other royals watched on from the Major General's Office nearby.
A short while later, the Queen appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her cousin the Duke of Kent.
In a second balcony appearance, she was joined by three of her four children, in addition to several family members. Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex did not appear on the balcony as the Queen decided last month that only royals carrying out official duties would be included.
But earlier the Sussexes had watched the Trooping the Colour event with other royals from the Major General's office near Horse Guards Parade, in their first public appearance with the royal family since they quit working as royals two years ago.
The Queen's decision to only invite working royals onto the balcony also meant Prince Andrew, who was stripped of royal duties and his HRH title in January in the wake of his civil sexual assault lawsuit in the US, did not appear on the balcony. It later emerged that he will not be able to join his family members at Friday's thanksgiving service either as he has tested positive for coronavirus. A royal source told CNN the duke had seen his mother in the last few days but has been undertaking regular testing and has not seen her since he tested positive.
For many, the highlight of the proceedings was the spectacular RAF flypast, an awe-inspiring air show involving 70 aircraft, including the Red Arrows.
There was, however, one person who did not seem overly impressed with the display -- 4-year-old Prince Louis. The youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was pictured with his hands over his ears and pulling faces as the spectacle to celebrate his great-grandmother's 70 years on the throne all proved a little overwhelming.
Nevertheless, his family did not appear to be remotely bothered by Prince Louis' refusal to maintain protocol, as they smiled and chatted to each other while the planes continued to fly -- even at one point arranged in formation to make up the number 70.
More than 3,000 beacons are being set alight across the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and in UK Overseas Territories. The principal beacon was lit in a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The lighting of beacons is a long running royal tradition used to mark jubilees, weddings and coronations. Beacons will also be lit in the capital cities of Commonwealth countries. | https://www.komu.com/news/nationworld/queen-pulls-out-of-jubilee-service-due-to-discomfort-during-thursdays-parade/article_4252fa34-5bd4-5cf5-bbfe-e3770851b651.html | 2022-06-03T00:09:30Z | https://www.komu.com/news/nationworld/queen-pulls-out-of-jubilee-service-due-to-discomfort-during-thursdays-parade/article_4252fa34-5bd4-5cf5-bbfe-e3770851b651.html | true | 11 |
California Water Service Receives CPUC Approval to Acquire Skylonda Mutual Water Company
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- CWT
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Water Service (Cal Water), the largest subsidiary of California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT), received approval this week by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to acquire the water system assets of Skylonda Mutual Water Company. The purchase is subject to customary remaining closing conditions and expected to close later this year.
Cal Water plans to provide water utility service to Skylonda’s 176 customer connections through its Bear Gulch District, which is adjacent to the Skylonda system. The Bear Gulch District currently serves about 60,900 people through 19,000 service connections in Portola Valley, Woodside, Atherton, and portions of Menlo Park, Redwood City, and San Mateo County.
After the acquisition is completed, Cal Water intends to invest in Skylonda’s water system infrastructure so that it remains safe and reliable for customers’ and firefighters’ everyday and emergency needs. Additionally, with Skylonda situated between Cal Water’s Skyline system and the main portion of its Bear Gulch District, Cal Water will be able to interconnect the three areas to enhance water supply reliability to the entire district.
“We appreciate the CPUC staff’s diligence in reviewing this transaction, and we look forward to both working with Skylonda Mutual Water Company to complete the acquisition and providing quality, service, and value to Skylonda customers, both now and for decades to come,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Cal Water President and CEO.
California Water Service serves about 2 million people through 494,500 customer connections in California. The utility has provided water service in the state since 1926. For more information, visit www.calwater.com.

For years, a White House internship offered participants a prestigious experience and access to some of Washington’s heaviest political hitters – but only for those who could afford to accept the unpaid offer.
That will change this year, when – for the first time in recent history – the White House will pay its interns. News of the White House announcement was first reported by CNN.
“Since the beginning of his administration, President Biden has committed to advancing equity and opening doors by waiting to launch the White House Internship Program until receiving the statutory authority from Congress to pay interns,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Thursday. “President Biden was proud to sign bipartisan legislation earlier this year that provides this authority and funding.”
Fall interns will receive a stipend of $750 per week, and will get their payment in two lump sums: one around the start of the program, and another upon completion of the program.
Applications for the fall program, which will run from September 12 - December 16, open on June 6 and must be submitted by June 24. The fall program will run in-person at the White House; eligible applicants must be at least 18 years old at the start of their program, must be currently enrolled or recently graduated from an accredited undergraduate or graduate program or U.S. veterans with a high school diploma who served in active duty within the past two years.
Summer interns will receive a one-time $6,000 stipend for their program, which runs from June 20 - August 12. Applications for the summer internship program are already closed.
The funds, which come from the massive omnibus spending bill signed in March, will pay for internships across the Executive Office of the President. The EOP has 14 separate departments for which interns can work, ranging from the Office of the Vice President to the Council of Economic Advisers to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. All interns can rank their preferred departments, but selections are ultimately made by the White House Internship Program team.
The decision to pay White House interns will help remove “barriers to equal opportunity for low-income students and first-generation professionals at the beginnings of their careers,” the administration said in a statement, and will “help to ensure that those who receive internships at the White House—and who will be a significant part of the leadership pipeline across the entire federal government—reflect the diversity of America.”
The cost of living in Washington, D.C. is higher than the national average, according to PayScale; housing costs around 148% more in the nation’s capital city than the national average, groceries 10% more and transportation 5%. And an April assessment from Apartment List found the cost of apartments in Washington had increased by nearly 12% from the year before. | https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2022/06/02/white-house-to-pay-interns-fall-first-time | 2022-06-03T00:17:58Z | https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2022/06/02/white-house-to-pay-interns-fall-first-time | true | 1 |

'See the rainbow': Lethbridge homeowner goes the extra mile for Pride Fest
A Lethbridge resident has transformed his home into something truly special for this year's Pride Fest.
All it took was some new paint – seven different shades to be exact.
Kim Siever says he was looking to refresh his home this spring and couldn't think of a better way to do it other than using all the colours of the rainbow.
He adds the new paint job, which is prompting plenty of reaction from passerby, is also in honour of Lethbridge's Pride Month.
In fact, it's had so much attention, Siever says he wants his home to be part of the festival too.
"We've had people stopping by and ask if they could take pictures, so I thought maybe something we could do is when people stop by and they're going to take pictures anyhow, we can just give them something a little extra," he said.
The gifts he's referring to are package of Skittles, free for the taking for anyone who poses for a selfie in front of Siever's rainbow roost.
"They can come see the rainbow and taste the rainbow too."
Lethbridge Mayor Blaine Hyggen also helped out with Siever's campaign by donating several boxes of Skittles candy to ensure the house is well stocked for all of its visitors.

The Boys cast explain the bizarre influence of My Octopus Teacher on season 3
- TV Show
Here is just a glimpse into the mad, mad mind of Eric Kripke, the showrunner of The Boys.
When The Deep actor Chace Crawford spoke with his boss about the story for season 3, out on Amazon Prime Video Friday, he was asked, "Have you seen My Octopus Teacher?"
"I was like, I know where this is going," Crawford says during the latest installment of EW's Around the Table with his fellow cast.
My Octopus Teacher is, of course, the 90-minute documentary on Netflix about a filmmaker who forms a connection with a female octopus in the South African kelp forest. (Watch the trailer here.)
"No spoilers for the season, but the thing about My Octopus Teacher when I watched it… I watched that whole thing and the whole time I'm like, 'Is he gonna f--- that octopus?!'" Kripke says, immediately breaking into laughter. "And then in the writer's room, we just kept laughing about that documentary. And it's a great documentary… but it's weirdly sexual."
"It's super intimate, like a man and his cephalopod," agrees Antony Starr, who plays Homelander.
And that, my friends, should give you at least a baseline for what The Deep gets up to this season. We do get a glimpse in the trailer of a scene involving sex with his wife while also staring into the eyes of squid in a water tank. Draw your own conclusions from there.
Karen Fukuhara, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles joined Kripke, Crawford, and Starr for the cast conversation in Around the Table. Among the other topics discussed were teases of the characters heading into season 3, as well as the fact that Justice League director Zack Snyder gave his blessing to Dawn of the 7, their satirical spoof of his superhero movie.
"Someone who works with us is friends with [Snyder], and I think that's how it came about. She gave him the heads up," Kripke remarks. "He thought it was hilarious. He just thinks the whole thing is so funny. And he watches the show, he's a fan of the show."
