LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Lopez will be honored for her film and television achievements at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The network announced Friday that Lopez will receive the Generation Award on Sunday in Santa Monica, California. The award celebrates actors whose diverse contributions in both film and television have turned them into household names.
Previous recipients include Scarlett Johansson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Pratt, Will Smith and Reese Witherspoon.
Her first breakthrough came as a dancer on the 1990s sketch comedy series “In Living Color.” She pursued an acting career and landed a leading role in “Selena” in 1997. She would go on to appear in such films including “Anaconda,” “Out of Sight,” “The Wedding Planner,” “Hustlers” and her latest, “Marry Me.”
The 52-year-old actor will release a new Netflix documentary called “Halftime” on June 14. The project focuses on the second half of her career and she reflects on her milestones and evolution as an artist.
As a singer, Lopez has had major success on the pop and Latin charts with multiple hit songs and albums. She released her multi-hit debut “On the 6” in 1999 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with songs like “If You Had My Love,” “All I Have” and the remixes of “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny.”
And in 2020, Lopez performed during the Super Bowl halftime show alongside Shakira.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” enters the awards show as the leading nominee with seven nominations. HBO’s “Euphoria” earned six nods, and “The Batman” followed with four nominations. Vanessa Hudgens will host the awards, which will air live from the Barker Hangar. The nominations include 26 gender-neutral categories.
Jack Black will receive the Comedic Genius Award. | https://www.middletownpress.com/entertainment/article/Jennifer-Lopez-to-receive-honor-at-MTV-Movie-TV-17217006.php | 2022-06-03T12:27:47Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/entertainment/article/Jennifer-Lopez-to-receive-honor-at-MTV-Movie-TV-17217006.php | true | 42 |

Noise pollution can harm children Photograph:( Reuters )
Using online cognitive tests, the team tested the children’s short-term memory and attentiveness every three months for a year
Road traffic noise outside schools can harm primary school children’s attention span and stunt their cognitive development, a new study has shown.
The study, which forms part of the BREATHE project, included 2,680 children between 7 and 10 years of age across 38 schools in Barcelona.
They based their research by measuring the noise coming from the outside before lessons began. This was repeated six months later to calculate an average baseline level of noise pollution at each site.
Using online cognitive tests, the team tested the children’s short-term memory and attentiveness every three months for a year.
The study found that these children with higher average indoor noise levels – defined as above 30 decibels, about the volume of whispering – saw a slower improvement in attentiveness, measured by comparing their performance on tests at the start of the year with those at the end of the year.
It was further found that children exposed to higher average classroom noise levels over the course of the year performed worse than students in quieter classrooms only on the attention test, but not on the working memory tests.
"This finding suggests that noise peaks inside the classroom may be more disruptive to neurodevelopment than average decibel level," said lead researcher Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.
"This is important because it supports the hypothesis that noise characteristics may be more influential than average noise levels, despite the fact that current policies are based solely on average decibels."
"Our study supports the hypothesis that childhood is a vulnerable period during which external stimuli such as noise can affect the rapid process of cognitive development that takes place before adolescence," said co-author Jordi Sunyer.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A vehicle transporting a Red Cross team came under a hail of gunfire in western Mali, killing a worker for the Dutch branch and the car’s driver, the Malian and Dutch Red Cross organizations said Thursday.
Witnesses said the gunmen were riding motorcycles when they shot at the vehicle around 6 p.m. Wednesday near Kayes, the aid organization said, adding that the vehicle had been clearly marked with the group’s emblem. Two other employees survived the ambush.
“The Malian Red Cross condemns with the utmost firmness this incident, which undermines the humanitarian mission aimed at vulnerable populations,” the aid group said in a statement announcing the deaths.
“Disbelief and sadness,” the Dutch Red Cross said on Twitter. “Two Red Cross aid workers have been killed in an armed attack in Mali. One of them was an employee of the Dutch Red Cross. Our flag is at half mast. Aid workers should never be the target.”
A spokeswoman said that the Dutch Red Cross worker was not a Dutch citizen.
“This is terrible news and it touches us deeply. First of all, our thoughts go out to the family members and everyone who knew the affected aid workers,” said Marieke van Schaik, director of the Dutch Red Cross.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility though jihadis are known to operate in the vicinity.
Mali has been battling an Islamic insurgency for a decade now, and much of the country has long been considered off-limits to Westerners for security reasons. While the Kayes region has been less risky than Mali’s north, there have been growing reports of extremism spreading in the area linked to a group known as Katiba Macina.
Concerns about security in Mali have only deepened since former colonizer France announced earlier this year it is withdrawing its troops from the country after nine years of helping to fight extremists there. The country’s military is still being aided by a large U.N. peacekeeping mission that comes under frequent attack from militants.
Mali is headed by Col. Assimi Goita, who led a 2020 coup that overthrew the country’s democratically elected president. He drew further international condemnation when nine months later, he ousted the country’s civilian transitional leaders and had himself sworn in as president.

EXCLUSIVE-EU set to reach deal on single mobile charging port on June 7 -sources
BRUSSELS, June 3 (Reuters) - EU countries and EU lawmakers will meet on June 7 to thrash out the details for a common charging port for mobile phones, tablets and headphones and are likely to clinch a deal, people familiar with the matter said.
The proposal for a single mobile charging port was first broached by the European Commission more than a decade ago.
It has drawn strong criticism from Apple AAPL.O whose iPhones are charged from a Lightning cable unlike Android-based devices which are powered using USB-C connectors.

PARIS (AP) — The Latest on the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament (all times local):
___
1:45 p.m.
Coco Gauff now has a chance to leave Roland Garros with two trophies.
The 18-year-old Gauff and Jessica Pegula advanced to the women’s doubles final at the French Open by beating Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend 6-4, 7-6 (4) in an all-American semifinal Friday.
Gauff meets top-ranked Iga Swiatek on Saturday for the singles championship.
Gauff, who is from Florida, and Pegula, a 26-year-old from New York who lost to Swiatek in the singles quarterfinals, are appearing in their first Grand Slam tournament as a team.
Gauff and Caty McNally were the runners-up in women’s doubles at last year’s U.S. Open.
Barbora Krejcikova won the singles and doubles titles at the 2021 French Open, the first time a woman claimed both in the same year at Roland Garros since Mary Pierce in 2000.
___
1:25 p.m.
Rafael Nadal will spend his 36th birthday facing No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev in the first French Open men’s semifinal on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The match is scheduled to begin at about 2:45 p.m. (8:45 a.m. ET) on Friday.
No. 20 Marin Cilic will play No. 8 Casper Ruud in the second semifinal.
There is rain forecast, so it is a good thing the stadium has a retractable roof.
Nadal showed up at Roland Garros with his personal doctor because of chronic pain in his left foot.
Nadal is seeking a 14th French Open trophy and 22nd Grand Slam title overall. Both of those numbers would add to records he already holds.
Zverev and Ruud have never won a major tournament. Cilic was the champion at the 2014 U.S. Open
The men’s singles final is Sunday.
No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek faces 18-year-old American Coco Gauff in the women's singles final Saturday.

The latest coronavirus news from Canada and around the world Friday. This file will be updated throughout the day. Web links to longer stories if available.
8 a.m. “The highway’s jammed with broken heroes/ on a last chance power drive/ Everybody’s out on the run tonight/ But there’s no place left to hide.”
Dr. Lawrence Loh knows how it feels to run with no place left to hide as a public health crisis coalesces criticism around a fledgling medical officer of health making unpopular decisions.
Loh’s a big karaoke guy. His favourite song is Bruce Springsteen’s "Born to Run."
One wonders if the stalwart Peel MOH, who recently resigned to become CEO at the Mississauga-based College of Family Physicians of Canada, won’t change the lyrics to the Boss’ road anthem next time he grabs the mic.
He might want to alter the setting of the runaway American dream, “sprung from cages out on Highway 9,” to the more Peel-friendly Highway 10.
We all owe Loh a huge debt of gratitude for keeping his head, when all about him seemed to be losing theirs.

Friday 7 a.m. From the flu to gastro bugs, viruses other than COVID-19 are making a comeback, and putting pressure on already stretched Ontario emergency rooms.
“We had a honeymoon from that and now they’re back with a vengeance,” said Dr. Lisa Salamon, an emergency physician with Scarborough Health Network.
“I’ve never seen the volumes this high.”
These infections were much less common when people were hunkering down, limiting their contacts and wearing masks, making it harder for them to spread.
But now, with public health restrictions dropped, Salamon and her colleagues are seeing “a ton of viral illnesses” in the emergency department, she said. That includes general “fevers, coughs, congestion,” and “quite a bit” of flu, which is rare for this time of year.

Friday 4 a.m. Colorado’s COVID-19 hospitalizations jumped 38 per cent this week, and a rise in positive tests showed last week’s slowdown in confirmed new cases was a just blip.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reported 225 people with COVID-19 were hospitalized across the state Tuesday, up from 163 a week earlier. The average number of people admitted with the virus doubled in that time, to 108 each day in the week ending Tuesday.
That’s a significant increase compared to mid-April, when 77 people were receiving hospital care for COVID-19. It could be far worse, though: projections released in mid-May suggested 500 people could be hospitalized with the virus by the start of June.
Thursday 9 p.m. The latest figures on COVID-19 in British Columbia show 421 people were hospitalized with the illness as of Wednesday, with 41 in critical care.
A weekly report from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control says 44 people died during the week that ended last Saturday, bringing the pandemic death toll to 3,547.
The centre says 265 people were admitted to hospital that week, down from 345 the week before, though it notes the numbers may increase as data is updated.
It says 1,163 new laboratory-confirmed cases were reported from May 22 to 28, down from 1,358 the week before, though current case counts do not include positive results from at-home rapid tests.
Still, a situation report from May 15 to 21 shows the rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 people decreased across the Fraser, Interior and Vancouver Island health regions while remaining stable in the Northern and Vancouver Coastal Health areas.
Thursday 7 p.m. Chris Buescher has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the inaugural NASCAR Cup race Sunday in the St. Louis area.
RFK Racing said Thursday that Truck Series regular Zane Smith will replace Buescher in the No. 17 Ford at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.
Buescher is 21st in the points standings with three top-10 finishes, and is still in contention for a playoff berth. He was involved in a crash last Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway in which his Ford flipped onto its roof and it took safety workers a long time to get Buescher from the car.
He was removed uninjured, but has since tested positive for COVID-19.
RFK said Buescher expects to be back in the car next weekend at Sonoma Raceway.
Smith, meanwhile, will make his Cup Series debut on Sunday. He has three wins and eight top-10 finishes in 10 starts in the Truck Series this season.
Smith will be the 24th driver for Jack Roush in the NASCAR Cup Series. | https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/06/03/todays-coronavirus-news-june-3-gta-world-canada.html | 2022-06-03T12:33:24Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/06/03/todays-coronavirus-news-june-3-gta-world-canada.html | false | 2 |
VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ: VGFC) (TSXV: VERY.V) (FSE: OSI) ("VERY GOOD" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement for gross proceeds of approximately USD$6,500,000 (the "Offering").
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 13,100,000 common shares of the Company ("Shares") at a purchase price of US$0.20 per Share, 19,400,000 common share equivalents ("Common Share Equivalents") which entitle the holder to purchase 19,400,000 Shares at a price of $0.0001 per Common Share and 32,500,000 warrants ("Warrants") to purchase 32,500,000 Shares at a price of US$0.2582 per Share. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance. The Shares, Common Share Equivalents, Warrants and Shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Share Equivalents and Warrants are collectively referred to as "Securities" in this news release.
The terms of the Warrants and the Common Share Equivalents restrict the holder's ability to exercise if, upon exercise the holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of the Company's Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes.
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent (the "Placement Agent") for the Offering. The Placement Agent received a cash commission equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

IIT Madras researchers highlight the crisis of climate refugees and suggest equitable remedial measures
The research suggests that the international community has the moral responsibility to provide refuge to those impacted by climate change
Climate change-induced migration is a pressing concern impacting thousands of communities worldwide. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Madras) has now urged nations to leave their doors open for asylum seekers suffering due to climate change.
The researchers have termed this the principle of "non-refoulment" and have accordingly urged countries to absorb those refugees who flee the impact of climate change. How does this policy work?
Essentially, the researchers suggest that asylum-seekers from vulnerable zones be absorbed into countries in proportion to the latter's greenhouse emissions. The research paper is titled, ‘Cross border migration on a warming planet: A policy framework' and was authored by Prof Sudhir C Rajan, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Madras and Dr Sujatha Byravan, an independent scholar.
Reflecting on the need for equity in action for those displaced by climate change, Prof Sudhir C Ranjan said, “Climate scientists have known for more than a decade that tens of millions of people, if not more, will be forcibly displaced from some of the poorest countries as a result of climate change. If their countries are no longer viable homes through no fault of their own, the international community has a moral responsibility to provide refuge.”
Citing the example of millions of people living in the coastal areas of densely-populated Bangladesh, Prof Ranjan says, "People living along the coast have been migrating to the Bangladeshi capital due to monsoon flooding and cyclones caused by rising sea levels. For these residents, the worsening climate change is not a faraway threat. It is a grim reality.”
It came to light that out of the 40.5 million people displaced in 2020, almost 30 million people were forced to flee their homes due to climate change. These numbers were reported by Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. The study observed that there was a lack of a comprehensive international plan or framework to deal with the concerns of those exiled from their homes due to climate change and, more importantly, to protect their rights.
Elaborating on the need for an internationally recognised framework to rehabilitate climate refugees, Dr Sujatha Byravan adds, "Climate exiles or migrants have no legal standing. These are the kinds of issues that ought to be addressed in the climate negotiations track of Loss and Damage under non-economic losses.”
The researchers do address concerns that identifying a climate refugee might be a hard task. However, the time spent on this identifying exercise might amount to crucial time lost in rehabilitating the victims of climate change. As a counter to this, the study proposes two approaches to address the concerns of any potential climate refugee. These are classified as strong and mild approaches.
Under the strong approach, countries must treat all asylum seekers as worthy of refuge as under the non-refoulment policy. Asylum should be ensured by host countries who need to come together to formulate a protocol in order to distribute climate refugees amongst themselves as per their respective greenhouse emissions.
The mild approach on the other hand works with communities and areas endangered by climate change on the basis of scientific evidence. These include low-lying states, countries with low-lying delta regions, areas facing desertification or flooding and hill slopes subject to erosion. These communities must be identified and granted the right to seek free asylum from other countries based on a fair agreement set around the hosts' greenhouse emissions, said the study, that was published in the peer-reviewed journal, WIRES Climate Change. | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/jun/03/iit-madras-researchers-highlight-the-crisis-of-climate-refugees-suggest-equitable-remedial-measures-29174.html | 2022-06-03T12:36:39Z | https://www.edexlive.com/news/2022/jun/03/iit-madras-researchers-highlight-the-crisis-of-climate-refugees-suggest-equitable-remedial-measures-29174.html | false | 1 |
DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — By this time next year, the university leaders who oversee the College Football Playoff want the next format for determining a champion settled.
Mississippi State President Mark Keenum, the chairman of the CFP Board of Managers, said Thursday the conference commissioners in charge of building the postseason system for the 2026 season and beyond will restart the task in the coming weeks.
“I’ve sent a note out to all my colleagues, the presidents and chancellors, to try to get us together sometime towards the end of the summer, hopefully by sometime before the end of August, just to continue the dialogue,” he said.
An attempt to expand the playoff from the current four-team format to 12 teams before the current 12-year contract with ESPN expires after the 2025 season fell apart last fall and was officially pronounced dead in February.
The CFP management committee, comprised of 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director, spent the final six months of 2021 trying to come to unanimous agreement on a 12-team plan — but never got there.
While the playoff will remain a four-team event for the next four seasons, the commissioners don’t have nearly that much time to figure out what is next. There is no playoff plan beyond 2025.
“So we’ve got to make some decisions,” Keenum said. “I’m hopeful … within the year. We had our last meeting last month in May, and I said my hope to my colleagues, no later than this time a year from now we’ll know what the future holds for college football as far as the championship. We’ll try to stick to that.”
The Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten and Pac-12 all had objections with the 12-team plan that had been developed on a subcommittee of commissioners for more than two years.
“Whether or not that comes back and how this next cycle of conversation is approached, debated and decided remains to be seen,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said this week at the conference meetings. “We’re back to square one, it seems.”
Keenum said while the commissioners will again do the bulk of the work on the CFP format, the presidents could take a more active role in helping things along.
“I think we can hopefully smooth out some of the wrinkles that are there right now. And maybe go back to our respective commissioners and say, ‘Here’s what we talked about,’” Keenum said. “And maybe give a little bit further direction for them and helping them ultimately come back to us with a resolution.”

Desiigner might not be living high off the “Panda” hog like he once was, but apparently he still feels that his celebrity status should be recognized and respected regardless of when he last had a hit record (no shots).
According to TMZ, the former G.O.O.D Music artist got into a shouting match with a cop out in L.A. after being pulled over for having tinted windows and ultimately driving without a license. During the heated exchange, the Brooklyn rapper went off on the police telling them to “Back the f*ck up!” while recording the encounter on his own phone. After telling them to “stay away” from him, Desiigner yelled “I got money all f*ckin’ day!” to the officers in his presence. And that was just the beginning.
Luckily though no one was hurt or touched. After backup arrived and calmed everything down, Desiigner got hit with a ticket and went about his way.
Check out the video of the encounter below and let us know your thoughts on how Desiigner handled the situation.

What would you like to see in your ideal garden? A swimming pool? Maybe some decking, to offer a space for garden furniture and outdoor dining? And probably plenty of lush green foliage and vibrantly coloured blooms?
This elegant Brazilian garden, designed by LíneaPaisagismo Claudia Muñoz, manages to work all of the above into its relatively restricted dimensions. The key to compact gardening, this project seems to suggest, is compromising on scale rather than compromising on content. It’s not necessary to sacrifice the verdant tropical jungle you have always longed to grow in your backyard in order to secure space for the pool of your dreams. Instead, simply shrink the jungle in size; even a single corner given over to a few carefully chosen plants can be enough to convey almost any impression you want to create. Let’s take a look at how the experts do it.
At this end of the garden, no corners have been cut as regards flowers. This is the most intensely floral section of the garden; there are blooms here and there elsewhere , but this is the place where they’re most concentrated. The ladder-like structure on which many of the flowers rest is perfect for its purpose, with widely spaced rungs overhead that would provide a home for climbing plants if necessary without blocking out any sunlight. The pretty design of the chair in front is also just right for this area, complementing the similarly pretty and gentle flowers themselves.
Here, the accessories of gardening serve nearly as much of a decorative function as the plants themselves do. These pretty terracotta pots match the colour of the table they are placed underneath and on top of, while a cute traditional watering can adds a vintage flair.
Down at the opposite end of the garden, there are more ladders; but this time they’re not providing a setting for a carefully contained range of potted plants, but are this time accentuating an arrangement of plants that is altogether more reminiscent of a wilderness (albeit a carefully curated one).
The smart rectangular swimming pool and the decking which flanks it provide a clean, neat and simple counterpoint to the relative unpredictability of the surrounding greenery. As a centrepiece for this particular garden, it would be hard to image a better one that this. Even the bright blue of the pool contrasts perfectly with the luxuriant greens that dominate the rest of the space.

CLAIM: Several TikTok videos claimed that the government has approved the P820 daily minimum wage starting July 1.
The videos are packaged or edited as a supposed achievement for Filipino workers.
The common message in them reads: “Good news! Minimum wage P820 na starting July 1, 2022.”
@chergeri2021 MINIMUM WAGE APPROVED 820#minimumwage ♬ rainbow – Gatton
@kajoe18 #minimumwage #fyp #bbmfor2022president🇵🇭 #pilipinas ♬ Believer – Imagine Dragons
Some videos, meanwhile, have a screenshot of a social media card that reads: “P820 na minimum wage, tinulak ng TUCP sa Central Luzon.”
@john_lalu #minimum ♬ original sound – iansanity – _iansanity
RATING: These claims are as false.
Facts
The National Wages and Productivity Commission, the commission tasked to determine the minimum wages of Filipino workers, debunked these claims as fake.
The NWPC issued its notice on Facebook on June 1.
“A circulating video on Facebook and TikTok claims that the government has approved legislation to hike the national minimum wage. We would like to advice the public that this news is 𝗙𝗔𝗞𝗘,” it said.
The NWPC advised the public that all wage orders can be found on official government channels only.
“All published wage orders can be found from the official websites and Facebook pages of DOLE and NWPC,” it said.
Links to their websites and their Facebook pages were also provided on the post.
According to the latest wage orders, the approved minimum wage increase for Metro Manila workers is P33, and P55 or P110 for Western Visayas.
Below are the increases in wages depending on the sector in Metro Manila, according to the Wage Order No. NCR-23:
- Non-agriculture sector – from P537 to P570
- Agriculture (Plantation and non-plantation), Service/Retail establishments with 15 workers or less, and Manufacturing with less than 10 workers – from P500 to P533
Meanwhile, the following are the increases in pay in Western Visayas:
- Non-agricultural, industrial, commercial establishments with 10 or more employees – P450
- Those with less than 10 employees – P420
The P820 supposed daily pay is the amount the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines petitioned for workers in Central Luzon last April.
The TUCP filed this petition to increase the daily salaries of workers in the region from the current P420 to P820.
Moreover, the photo being used in some of the TikTok videos was lifted from a report by the Philippine STAR about TUCP’s filing.
Why it matters
The claim on P820 minimum wage was already debunked by ABS-CBN last May. However, some videos are still up and are circulating on TikTok.
While most of them garnered at least 1,000 views only, they propagate the false hope that minimum wage earners will soon be earning P820.
Calls to increase the daily minimum salaries of workers have been made to the government for years amid the continuous rise in the costs of expenses.
The Department of Labor and Employment said that the last increase in pay for workers in private establishments in the National Capital Regions took effect on Nov. 22, 2018.
Meanwhile, the last wage order for private establishment workers in Western Visayas is in 2019.
“The last Wage Order for workers in private establishments and for domestic workers in Western Visayas took effect on 26 November 2019 and 08 May 2019, respectively,” DOLE said in a previous statement.

New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) India's up and coming shuttlers will have an opportunity to earn ranking points and experience with the country hosting two BWF international challenge badminton tournaments in Nagpur and Raipur in September .
Badminton World Federation (BWF) also awarded a junior international event to be held in Hyderabad, also in September.

Following India's historic triumph at the Thomas Cup, the Badminton Association of India (BAI) had written to BWF last month, requesting it for more international events.
BWF accepted the request and allotted the two international challenge events and a junior international.

"BWF has awarded three tournaments to India, which will be held in September. These events will help the young Indian players to play more international events, face quality opponents and grab crucial world ranking points," BAI secretary Sanjay Mishra told PTI.
There are a total of 31 international challenge tournament that happens in a year worldwide with India hosting just one of them in 2022 -- the Infosys Foundation India international challenge in Bengaluru from October 11 to 16 last year.
The international challenge tournaments are grade 3 events in the BWF tournament structure and ranking points and prize money are much less than the grade 1 (BWF major events) and 2 (BWF World Tour) events.
India hosts one junior international Grand Prix in Pune (August 30-September 4), besides three BWF world tour events -- Odisha Super 100, Syed Modi Super 300 and India Open Super 500 tournament.
But now, India will be hosting at least seven international tournaments every year following the addition of the three international events.
While the exact dates are yet to be ascertained, Raipur is set to host the first event, followed immediately by Nagpur, according to BAI's calender for 2022-23.
The India junior international challenge is scheduled in Hyderabad ahead of the two events.
Meanwhile, the 84th Senior National Badminton Championships will return after a gap of three years with Pune hosting the event from February 19 to 23 next year.

New York set to raise age to buy semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21
New York's legislature is poised to ban people under age 21 from buying or possessing a semi-automatic rifle, a major change to state firearm laws pushed through less than three weeks after an 18-year-old used one of the guns to kill 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo.
Formal debate on the measure began in the state Assembly and Senate Thursday evening, the last scheduled day of the legislative session.
The bill raising the age limit is the most significant part of a package of gun control bills announced earlier this week by Democratic legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul.
New York already requires people to be 21 to possess a handgun. Younger people would still be allowed to have other types of rifles and shotguns, but the change in the law would restrict ownership of the type of fast-firing rifles used by the 18-year-old gunmen in the mass shootings in Buffalo and at a Texas elementary school.
Besides raising the legal purchase age to 21, the bill would also require anyone buying a semiautomatic rifle to get a license — something now only required for handguns.
Semiautomatic rifles automatically load each bullet after firing, although firing requires pulling the trigger for each round. That makes it possible for mass murderers to kill more people in a short amount of time.
The change would largely impact areas outside New York City, which already requires permits to possess, carry and purchase any type of firearm and prohibits most applicants under 21.
Elsewhere in New York, people as young as 16 can possess long guns like rifles and shotguns without a license.
Sen. Alexis Weik, a Republican of Long Island, pointed out that an 18-year-old could still travel to another state and buy a semi-automatic rifle.
Sen. Kevin Thomas, a Long Island Democrat and one of the bill's sponsors, replied, "Are you advocating for federal gun control? Because that what's needed."
New York would join a handful of states — including Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Vermont and Washington - that require buyers to be at least 21 instead of 18 to purchase some types of long guns. Similar legislation has been proposed in Utah.
California's attempt to raise the legal buying age for a semiautomatic weapons has been challenged in court. On May 11, a U.S. Appeals court panel ruled 2-1 that the state's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional. The two judges who ruled in the majority were part of former President Trump's wave of conservative-approved nominees that reshaped the famously liberal court.
The National Rifle Association is also challenging Florida's ban on the sale of rifles and other firearms to adults under age 21, which was passed in the wake of a 2018 shooting that killed 17 students and staff at a high school in Parkland.
Another bill set to pass in New York would require new guns to be equipped with microstamping technology, which would allow law enforcement investigators to more easily link weapons to fired bullets.
The state is also expected to pass legislation that would restrict the purchase of body armor and expand the list of people who can apply for an extreme risk protection order, a court order that can temporarily prohibit someone from purchasing or possessing a firearm if they are believed to be a danger to themselves or others.

The video was recorded nearly a decade ago. At the six-minute mark you see 12-year-old Tyrion Davis-Price stepping off the school bus into … well, there’s a look in his vibrant, hazel eyes that says he’s not sure what he’s stepping into. All of the boys seem apprehensive.
And for good reason. An hour earlier, they said goodbye to their moms in Baton Rouge, La., handed over their cell phones and took a ride east to the tiny town of Amite City, La. For the next three days, they were put through the paces by their coach, Aaron Sutton, a former Marine who brought a distinct boot-camp flavor to the outing.
“We’ve got a long day ahead of us, fellas,” he barks as the boys struggle to hold down-dog poses, the first of a series of sweaty drills that includes burpees, sand workouts, pushing ancient, creaky blocking sleds and running up the side of levees.
By the end of the three-day camp, one of the boys falls asleep while eating dinner. The excursion was stern, grueling, relentless and, as it turned out, good preparation for the type of camps Davis-Price and several others would experience through college.
“When he got to LSU, he was laughing at the type of stuff they did there,” Sutton said of the 49ers’ third-round draft pick. “It was, ‘Man, I’ve been doing this since I was a little bitty kid.'”
The experience provides a peek at the seriousness of youth football in Baton Rouge. Parents don’t chit-chat from lawn chairs scattered along the sideline. No, not there. Davis-Price’s youth team, the South Baton Rouge
The squad had four different uniforms and three different helmets. Each year, they set aside their most special combination for their rivalry game against the South Baton Rouge
“Have you ever been to a 7-year-old’s football game and you see well over a thousand people in attendance?” Sutton asked. “This is what you would see on any given Saturday.”
The crowd knew there was talent on the field.
One of Davis-Price’s
Then there was Davis-Price, who was running with a ball in his hands almost as soon as he could stand.
“His favorite words were ball and juice,” his father, Tyquincy, said in a phone interview.
His mother, Stacie, said her sister-in-law started calling the boy “Tiger” when he was 18 months.
“He was just so much bigger than the other kids at that time,” she said. “And he would be aggressive. A lot of people thought he was older than he was.”
It turned out to be an appropriate nickname for someone who grew up less than a mile from Tiger Stadium.
Tyquincy said he never liked LSU game days. The streets would fill up, the traffic would be unbearable and there’d be noise all day long. His son, however, heard the marching band in the distance, saw his neighborhood lit up by the massive stadium and at age 6 announced that he was going to play there one day.
He was right, although there were some bumps initially.
Davis-Price always been a running back. As a little boy, he had no issue with the other boys trying to catch him and bring him to the ground. But lowering his shoulder and knocking his friends down? That just didn’t seem right.
Tyquincy: “He felt like if he hit ’em, he would hurt ’em.”
Stacie: “Because he was so strong.”
Tyquincy: “And that’s when we really started his training. I said, ‘Look, Ty, this is football. This is what you have to do.’ And once I got out there with him and showed him and then showed him again, he fell in love with it.”
Then there was the time Davis-Price, who doubled as a linebacker on his youth team, scooped up a fumble and took off toward the end zone. The problem: It was the wrong end zone.
“Everyone in the stands was standing up screaming, ‘Go the other way!'” Tyquincy said. “He was so excited to have that ball.”
Said Sutton: “He ran the opposite way with the ball. Everybody was like, ‘Nooooooo!'”
Yes, Davis-Price ended up scoring two points for the opponent. But the larger takeaway was that no one could catch him, a theme throughout his youth. Davis-Price also served as his team’s kicker back then. On kickoffs, he’d boot the ball, then invariably outrace his teammates to make the tackle.
At the same time, he took up football he started running track. He never lost his speed even after a ninth-grade growth spurt sent him zooming past the 200-pound mark. Wasp-waisted sprinters might have watched the brawny, big-boned kid settle into the blocks beside them and figure they’d have an easy heat. A few seconds later, the gun would go off and they’d be staring at his backside as he motored away for the win.
Davis-Price said his personal best in the 100 meters was 10.6 seconds and that he ran it when he was more than 230 pounds.
“If you ever watch him run, his knees are naturally very high,” said Sutton, who said Davis-Price reminds him of one-time 49ers runners Roger Craig and Ricky Watters. “There’s not a lot of juking. He’s never been trained to do that. He just accelerates. It’s, ‘I’m not going to hesitate, I’ll outrun you.’ He has no trouble trusting his speed.”
The 49ers saw that zip on film, particularly during LSU’s game against Alabama on Nov. 6. On the 63rd play, Davis-Price broke across the line of scrimmage and within 15 yards hit his highest speed of the season, which according to the 49ers, was among the top five speeds of any of the runners in the draft.
The burst caught their attention.
“A lot of times, guys reach higher speeds because they have the opportunity,” assistant general manager Adam Peters said. “They maybe aren’t as fast as other guys, but because they have the opportunity to run 60 yards in a straight line they reach a high speed. (Davis-Price) reaching his top speed in a short amount of space is more impressive.”
The 49ers also liked that the play occurred midway through the fourth quarter. Since Kyle Shanahan arrived in 2017, the 49ers’ running back rooms has had plenty of speed and it’s had stretches of brilliance. But it’s lacked staying power. Injuries have bitten deeply into the group in each of those five seasons and the hope is that a bigger-bodied runner like Davis-Price will bring some old-fashioned thud and resilience to the mix.
That’s what he showed in his most famous game to date, a 49-42 win over then-No. 20 Florida on Oct. 16. By game’s end, LSU literally had handed the offense to Davis-Price and the offensive line, running the ball on 23 of the final 25 offensive snaps. He responded with touchdown runs of 18, 40 and 25 yards and set a school record with 287 yards on 36 carries.
Sutton and Davis-Price’s parents said the running back was made for exactly that type of feast.
Said Sutton: “It was: feed the beast, feed the beast. It was the Tyrion Davis show that day.”
Said Tyquincy: “He’s the type of player who needs snaps. I’ll be honest with you, the more he plays the better he’s going to be.”
Said Stacie: “You can feed him. He’s a running back.”
Davis-Price, meanwhile, said that the linebackers and defensive backs who seemed eager to take on a big back like him in the first quarter never seemed quite as excited by the fourth.
“I love bringing the contact to them so that they don’t want to tackle you,” he said. “In the first, second quarter they might take it a little bit, but eventually they don’t want anymore of it. That’s always my mindset: to go and attack the defender and wear them out, make them quit.”

DETROIT (AP) — More than 750 Tesla owners have complained to U.S. safety regulators that cars operating on the automaker's partially automated driving systems have suddenly stopped on roadways for no apparent reason.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed the number in a detailed information request letter to Tesla that was posted Friday on the agency's website.
The 14-page letter dated May 4 asks the automaker for all consumer and field reports it has received about false braking, as well as reports of crashes, injuries, deaths and property damage claims. It also asks whether the company's “Full Self Driving” and automatic emergency braking systems were active at the time of any incident.
The agency began investigating phantom braking in Tesla's Models 3 and Y last February after getting 354 complaints. The probe covers an estimated 416,000 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years. In February, the agency said it had no reports of crashes or injuries.
The letter gives Tesla a deadline of June 20 to respond to the information request but says the company can ask for an extension.
A message was left early Friday seeking comment from Tesla.
In opening the probe, the agency said it was looking into vehicles equipped with automated driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control and “Autopilot,” which allows them to automatically brake and steer within their lanes.
“Complainants report that the rapid deceleration can occur without warning, and often repeatedly during a single drive cycle,” the agency said.
Many owners wrote in their complaints that they feared a rear-end crash on a freeway.
In the letter, NHTSA asks for the initial speed of when the cars began to brake, the final speed, and the average deceleration. It also asks if the automated systems detected a target obstacle, and whether Tesla has video of the braking incidents.
The agency is now seeking information on warranty claims for phantom braking including the owners’ names and what repairs were made. It’s also seeking information on Tesla’s sensors, any testing or investigations into the braking problems, or if any modifications were made.
The letter focuses on Tesla’s testing of the automated systems when it comes to detecting metal bridges, s-shaped curves, oncoming and cross traffic, and different sizes of vehicles including large trucks. The agency also wants information on how cameras deal with reflections, shadows, glare and blockage due to snow or heavy rain. | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/US-has-over-750-complaints-that-Teslas-brake-for-17217096.php | 2022-06-03T13:19:55Z | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/news/article/US-has-over-750-complaints-that-Teslas-brake-for-17217096.php | true | 20 |
Streaming TV was originally a way to cut the cable cord and pay for only the shows, or services you wanted.
And for a number of years, it was a great way to cut that cable or satellite bill, often in half.
Not anymore: With the arrival of Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, Paramount, Peacock, Discovery, and more, it's getting confusing, and expensive.
So you may want to think about the monthly streaming services you pay for, compared to the ones you actually use.
GETTING OUT OF CONTROL FOR SOME
Jim Richardson is doing that. He loves watching streaming shows with his three children. But his streaming TV bill is now almost as expensive as his old cable bill, and he says the bills are getting out of control.
"YouTube TV for our live TV, it just went up to $70 a month," he said.
He also subscribes to Netflix, Disney Plus -- and through his cell phone provider -- Apple TV Plus and Paramount.
Like so many other families, the Richardsons are starting to reach the point of what is now called streaming fatigue, where you subscribe to so many different streaming channels it's hard to remember how many you have.
"You start forgetting which shows are on which service," Richardson said.
Jim Willcox of Consumer Reports says a lot of people lose track of what they're paying for, until a giant like Netflix raises prices.
"You're probably on auto renew and you don't really consider it that much," Willcox said.
Carnegie Mellon's Heinz College professor Ruhul Telang says prices are going up as companies spend excessive amounts of money on new and exclusive content.
"Too much content is being made by the streaming providers, and not all of them are being consumed at the same rate," he said.
What you can do to save money
So what can you do to save money, and still binge-watch your favorite shows? Consumer Reports says:
- Look into a free service, like Pluto or Tubi
- Look for services that offer free trial periods of a week or two (and stream their hottest shows during that trial)
- Consider jumping in and out of services, which you can do with many of them
"You jump in for a month, you pay your $5 and then you jump over to another service," Willcox said.
With living expenses up sharply, this year, the last thing you want is to pay for a service you don't use.
"When consumers are looking to figure out where they can sort of trim the fat in their budgets," Willcox said, "I think what we're going to see is streaming services are one area where they're going to cut back."
He suggests you go over how many shows you watch on each service. If you haven't watched one of your streaming services in a month, it might be time to drop that one.
Jim Richardson's family is already doing that.
"I think we'll keep no more than 2 or 3 streaming services," he said.
That way, you don't waste your money.

The figures were published as it was announced that Wigan had escaped the latest cull of Barclay’s branch axings.
But analysis from consumer champion Which? has shown a sharp decline in the number of bank branches open in areas across much of the UK compared to seven years ago.
And according to figures up to the end of April, 19 banks have been shuttered in Wigan since the start of 2015, leaving 18 remaining in the area.
Separate figures from LINK, a cash machine network, show there has also been a decline in the number of free-to-use ATMs across the UK in recent years.
Their data shows that between the start of 2018 and early March this year, the number of ATMs in Wigan, Makerfield and Leigh dropped from 238 to 174.
One of the most recent departures was the prominently positioned Yorkshire Bank branch in Wigan town centre which shut in March last year, customers being told their nearest counters would then be in St Helens and Preston.
It remains empty, although some former banks are being put to new use. For instance former rugby star Lee Mossop has converted several into coffee bars.
The increasing use of online banking and contactless payments have led to concerns some will be left behind, or unable to access key services.
Which? chief executive, Anabel Hoult, said: “While the pandemic has accelerated the move to digital payments for many consumers, many are not yet ready to make that switch and require protection from an avalanche of ATM and bank branch closures that have left the UK’s cash system at risk of collapse.”
A bill to protect access to cash was announced as part of the Queen’s Speech in May.
The Treasury says the new legislation will ensure “continued access to withdrawal and deposit facilities across the UK”.
Economic secretary to the Treasury, John Glen, said: “We know that access to cash is still vital for many people, especially those in vulnerable groups.
“We promised we would protect it, and through this bill we are delivering on that promise.”
Full details on what will be included are yet to be published.
Which? welcomed the bill but said it “must ensure that clear requirements are placed on industry to meet communities’ need for cash”.
Its data found that nearly half (48 per cent) of bank branches across the UK have closed since the start of 2015, and seven constituencies have seen every one of their bank branches closed in recent years.
And LINK says that over 13,500 free-to-use ATMs have been cut from the UK’s network – a quarter of the 54,500 in operation at the start of 2018.
Recent research by the Royal Society of Arts estimates 10 million people in the UK would struggle in a cashless society.
The research suggests the elderly and those in areas with poor mobile or broadband connectivity have suffered most in the move to digital banking.
RSA researcher Mark Hall said: “For millions of people, their relationship with cash is critical to the way they manage their weekly budget.
“It’s vital that the dash to digital doesn’t disenfranchise anyone, especially with the cost-of-living crisis putting such significant strain on family finances right now.” | https://www.wigantoday.net/business/half-of-banks-in-wigan-borough-have-closed-in-the-last-seven-years-3718461 | 2022-06-03T13:26:21Z | https://www.wigantoday.net/business/half-of-banks-in-wigan-borough-have-closed-in-the-last-seven-years-3718461 | false | 3 |
Beach cigarette butts targeted
With official data suggesting cigarette butts account for 30-40% of the waste that ends up on Greek beaches, a new initiative that started a few months ago as a pilot in the port and the beaches of Rafina in Attica showed that such rubbish can be reduced by up to 60% with the right information campaign and infrastructure.
The program started in October 2021 by the Aegean Rebreath organization in cooperation with local authorities in Rafina is funded by a private company.
It uses images from the Copernicus satellite, which are processed by an artificial intelligence algorithm to track problem areas, where special bins are placed. | https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1185888/beach-cigarette-butts-targeted/ | 2022-06-03T13:27:18Z | https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1185888/beach-cigarette-butts-targeted/ | true | null |

Exynos inferior to Snapdragon in the face of Diablo Immortal
1
It appears that not all Samsung smartphones are made equal - even those that are of the same model. For years, the Korean tech giant released many of its smartphones in two variants - one powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoCs, and one housing Samsung’s Exynos chipsets.
The launch of Diablo Immortal has once again showcased that despite similar benchmarks, Exynos processors fail to deliver the same processing power as their Snapdragon counterparts.
hit the Google Play Store that some Samsung models struggle to run the game. The catch - only Exynos variants of Samsung smartphones seem to be affected.
Now would be the time for one ever so important detail. This issue does not impact all Exynos-powered Samsung devices. Those that have comparatively newer and more powerful Exynos SoCs appear to be handling the game relatively better.
Nevertheless, it is somewhat disappointing to hear that a device like the Galaxy Note 10 cannot run a game that is playable on Apple devices as old as the iPhone 6s (the minimum system requirement for iOS is A9 and above).
Blizzard is in fact currently working on a solution to the problem. In the meantime, however, the company has considered limiting downloads to problematic Exynos-powered Samsung smartphones.
This begs a very important question. Samsung is reported to be expanding its work on dedicated Samsung SoCs. Some time ago, we covered rumors that the Galaxy S25 could exclusively come with a Samsung processor.
The fact that Diablo Immortal has once again exposed the ineptitude of Samsung’s Exynos lineup makes many apprehensive about such a decision. What will happen if the only version of the Galaxy S25 fails to deliver?

Multiple reports have surfaced since Blizzard’s newest addition to the Diablo franchise
hit the Google Play Store that some Samsung models struggle to run the game. The catch - only Exynos variants of Samsung smartphones seem to be affected.
Now would be the time for one ever so important detail. This issue does not impact all Exynos-powered Samsung devices. Those that have comparatively newer and more powerful Exynos SoCs appear to be handling the game relatively better.
However, for some models which should in theory fulfill the minimum system requirements (i.e. Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 and above, or the equivalent for Android), the Exynos variant of the headset encounters a slew of graphical errors which render the game unplayable.

The Wildcats finally scratched a run across in the bottom of the seventh after a Bennett Brueck pitch got away from the catcher, allowing Gavin Pienkowski to score for the win. Goodhue struck out four and walked three.
Indianola was off to a good start early in the season with a 7-3 overall record that included a doubleheader sweep of Ottumwa on May 20, 5-2 and 7-4. The Indians beat Creston 5-2 on May 23 and split a doubleheader with Des Moines East, winning 6-3 and losing 5-4. Brady Blake led the Indians offensively with a .424 average, four home runs and 14 RBIs in the team’s first 10 games.
Carlisle earned the baseball/softball sweep of Indianola as the Wildcat girls won 9-0 on May 30, with the Indians being limited to two hits, both by Mara Bishop. Carlisle freshman Logan Brown pitched the first four innings and Addesyn Abel finished the final three for the win. Isabelle Noring, Lauren McGriff and Laney Schick all recorded two hits, with Schick also driving in two runs.
Carlisle improved to 1-1 after dropping the season opener to Ankeny on May 27, 7-2. The Wildcats finished with just four hits but kept it close and trailed 3-2 after six innings. Ankeny added four more runs in the top of the seventh to secure the win.
Indianola was still looking for its first win on the softball field as the Indians lost 4-3 to Southeast Polk in the opener on May 27. A 3-1 loss to Ballard on May 31 sent the Indians to 0-3. Bishop, a senior catcher, tallied a base hit in each of the first three games as Izzie Benge pitched in all three games.
The Norwalk baseball team was 6-4 overall to start the year and beat Ballard 3-2 in 10 innings on May 31. Tucker Beving earned the win with 3 2/3 innings of relief and went 2-for-5 at the plate. DJ Harris and Ian Fisher also recorded two hits in the win.
Over on the softball field, Addie Downe opened the season with two home runs and four RBIs to help herself earn the win over conference opponent Pella Christian, 9-5, on May 27. Norwalk dropped its next game to ADM, 2-1, in a pitchers' duel won by ADM’s Aliya Yanga. Norwalk’s Zadie Wadle got the loss after six innings, three hits allowed, two walks and 12 strikeouts. Yanga fanned 14 and allowed three hits and three walks. | https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2022/06/03/carlisle-earns-baseball-softball-sweep-vs-indianola/7491013001/ | 2022-06-03T13:39:18Z | https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2022/06/03/carlisle-earns-baseball-softball-sweep-vs-indianola/7491013001/ | true | 1 |

"We couldn't be more grateful for our incredible community and are excited for all of the new products, collaborations, and exclusive events that will come for our Captains."
In March 2022, E11EVEN announced the launch of E11EVEN Crypto, a new division of the hospitality group's rapidly growing empire.

Attendees at the upcoming CMA Fest, running June 9 through 12 in Nashville, will no longer be allowed to bring confederate flags or imagery onto the festival grounds.
The four-day event, held at the Nissan Stadium, added “confederate flag imagery of any kind” to its list of prohibited items, according to the festival’s website. Fans displaying any confederate symbols or “other items deemed disruptive, dangerous … or offensive” will be denied entry into the festival.
“This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years,” said the Country Music Association in a statement. “We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated.”
The statement continued that “any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.” This new rule comes just weeks after the Stagecoach Festival updated its rules and regulations restricting “divisive symbols, including, without limitation, Confederate flags and racially disparaging or other inappropriate imagery/public displays” on the festival or campgrounds.
In the past, artists like Hank Williams Jr., Alabama, and David Allan Coe have used the flag as stage decor, and as imagery on albums and merchandise, but many artists have started moving away from these images because of its history, and its association with white supremacist groups. In 2021, Luke Combs apologized for using the confederate flag imagery in press photos.
“I am now aware how painful that image can be to someone else, and no matter what I thought at the time,” said Combs. “I would never want to be associated with something that brings so much hurt to someone else. I want people to feel accepted; I want people to feel welcomed by country music and by our community.” He added, “Hate is not a part of my core values.”
Starting in 1972, the festival, which regularly attracts about 50,000 country music fans, was put on hold for the past two years during the pandemic. This year the CMA Fest features performances by Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Lady A, Luke Bryan, Mickey Guyton, Thomas Rhett, and the Zac Brown Band, Alan Jackson, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, Blanco Brown, Carrie Underwood, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Gabby Barrett, and more.

Cape Town – There is a great deal to like about the new Honda HR-V, which was launched in South Africa this week, but ultimately the bang-for-buck equation lets it down.
Launched exclusively with an updated 1.5-litre normally aspirated engine, which we’ll get to a little later, the Honda HR-V is available in two variants: a 1.5 Comfort, priced at R469 000, and a 1.5 Executive that’s yours for R554 500.
We spent a day with the new Honda HR-V at its national media launch in Cape Town this week and first impressions were very positive.
This third-generation HR-V gets full marks for its design in my book. Featuring a relatively long bonnet, sharp lines and a steeply raked, coupe-inspired C-pillar and lipped tailgate, it looks a lot more arresting than its predecessor.
Despite this, and the fact that it retains similar dimensions to its predecessor, the Honda HR-V uses clever packaging to ensure a spacious, family-sized cabin with surprising rear legroom. Also in place are Honda’s ‘Magic’ back seats, which fold upwards to create a huge storage area. Unfortunately the regular luggage area is relatively tight, with a volume of just 304 litres, as Honda has opted for a full-sized spare tyre.

Perched behind the wheel we were highly impressed with the cabin quality, and the materials are mostly top-notch and impart an upmarket feel. The one exception is the plastic panel behind the touchscreen, which makes the infotainment system look like an ancient television set from some angles.
Ergonomically the cabin works really well though. Not only does it revert back to elegant-looking rotary knobs for the climate controls, but the touchscreen also has short-cut buttons on the side to make navigating between menus ultra-easy. A traditional volume knob would have been nice though, if I have to nitpick.
One innovative and thoughtful touch in the cabin is the new air diffusion system that, at the turn of a button, allows you to redirect air from the side air vents towards the side of the vehicle rather than directly on to the front occupants.
So far the Honda HR-V gets almost full marks for its design and interior, but its weak point is that 1.5-litre normally aspirated engine beneath the bonnet.
Sure, Honda has made some notable improvements to the V-TEC motor, replacing the previous single overhead cam with double overhead cam shafts. It produces 89kW at 6 600rpm, which is 1kW more than before, and although peak torque remains at 1 45Nm, it is produced 300rpm lower at 4 300.
The bottom line though is that a vehicle this size needs more power than that, or at least a turbocharger to compensate for altitude. As the launch was in Cape Town we only got to drive it at sea level, and even here performance was found wanting. While we were able to overtake slower vehicles safely, we really had to rev the guts out of it to do so and here the drone from the continuously variable gearbox became annoying.
The CVT gearbox, which comes as standard on both models, is at least relatively painless to live with in calmer driving situations as Honda has built in ‘steps’ to simulate gear ratios.
In fairness, this engine cruises very nicely when you’re taking it relatively easy in everyday urban driving or at highway speeds, and it’s possible that most buyers don’t want anything more than that. We can’t help but feel, however, that a compact SUV costing half a million rand should at least provide the luxury of being able to overtake effortlessly.
It’s not all bad on the dynamic front, however. The ride quality was comfortable, even over bumpier surfaces, and despite considerable body roll, the vehicle felt agile and sure-footed through the Helshoogte mountain pass near Stellenbosch. In fact, it almost felt like the chassis was begging for a bigger engine! The newcomer is equipped with a system called Agile Handle Assist (AHA), which brakes the inner wheels to enhance turn-in ability and it really works.
But as impressive as this vehicle is in most respects, we’re not entirely convinced by the value equation, given the pricing.
One positive is that you don’t need to stretch to the most expensive model to get decent specs as the regular 1.5 Comfort comes fairly well loaded.
Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, white ambient interior lighting, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with four speakers, reverse camera with parking sensors, automatic climate control with rear ventilation, front and side airbags, Hill Descent Control and Vehicle Stability Assist.
Over and above all that, the Executive spec grade, among other things, adds 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, eight speakers, wireless phone charging pad, auto wipers and an electrically operated tailgate.
The range-topping model also gains a full suite of Honda Sense driver assist features, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Following, Lane Keep Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation and Collision Mitigation Braking System.
All Honda HR-V models are sold with an impressive 5-year/200 000km warranty and 4-year/60 000km service plan. | https://www.iol.co.za/motoring/latest-launches/driven-new-honda-hr-v-has-a-lot-going-for-it-but-theres-a-downside-1d1a396a-2345-498c-ab3e-2f85057e928e | 2022-06-03T13:53:43Z | https://www.iol.co.za/motoring/latest-launches/driven-new-honda-hr-v-has-a-lot-going-for-it-but-theres-a-downside-1d1a396a-2345-498c-ab3e-2f85057e928e | true | 1 |

DETROIT (AP) — Minnesota Twins broadcaster Jim Kaat referred to New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes as “Nestor the Molester” during a broadcast Thursday, the second offensive remark in the past year by the 83-year-old Hall of Fame pitcher while calling a game.
As Minnesota’s Chris Archer struck out Detroit star Miguel Cabrera, Kaat began to explain that Cortes had become one of his favorite pitchers during a breakout season with New York.
READ MORE: Daz Cameron's HR In 8th Lifts Surging Tigers Past Twins 3-2“’Nestor the Molester,’ Nestor Cortes,” Kaat said. “Angles and different speeds. He’s a pitcher.”
Twins vice president of communications and content Dustin Morse spoke with Kaat after the broadcast about the comment.
“Obviously, we take these matters seriously and like in all cases will handle this internally and privately,” Morse said.
Kaat planned to contact Cortes directly and speak with the pitcher about the situation.
“Jim meant no ill will,” Morse said.
After the Yankees swept a day-night doubleheader from the Los Angeles Angels, Cortes said he had heard about Kaat’s comment.
READ MORE: Twins Pitcher Sonny Gray Placed On 15-Day Injured List“I’m sure, you know, he didn’t really mean it, and people make mistakes, but it didn’t offend me at all,” Cortes told The Associated Press.
“So, you know, I don’t really have anything more than just that, honestly,” he said.
Cortes has affectionately become known as “Nasty Nestor” by Yankees fans while going 5-1 with a 1.50 ERA to begin this season. He pitched seven scoreless innings to beat the Angels in the first game.
Kaat, a longtime commentator who has also worked for the Yankees and MLB Network, apologized in October after saying teams should try to “get a 40-acre field full of” players who look like White Sox infielder Yoán Moncada.
His comment about Moncada reminded some viewers of the unfilled promise by the U.S. government that freed slaves would receive 40 acres and a mule following the Civil War. He apologized later in that game between the Astros and White Sox.
“Earlier in the game when Yoán Moncada was at the plate, in an attempt to compliment the great player that he is, I used a poor choice of words that resulted in an insensitive and hurtful remark,” he said. “And I’m sorry for that.”

In tandem with this significant milestone, Annexus Health is reorganizing its leadership team to have an even greater impact on patients and their families
SEWICKLEY, Pa., June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Annexus Health, Inc., the leading healthcare technology company that is revolutionizing the patient access journey through its innovative solutions, today announced that over $2 billion in patient financial assistance has been processed through its workflow platform, AssistPoint®, since 2018, helping patients nationwide access lifesaving care while easing the financial burden on them and their families.
This milestone comes just one year after Annexus Health hit $1 billion in financial assistance processed through AssistPoint®—an indicator of both the company's exponential growth and its monumental impact on patients.
The dramatic increase in assistance processed over the past year is due in part to the strong market response to the 2021 launch of Adparo®, the Annexus Health services division. The Adparo® team of experienced financial counselors leverages AssistPoint® to enhance the overall patient access workflow for provider organizations, thus helping to secure more financial assistance for more patients.
"Fueled by focus and determination, the last twelve months have shown our presence and impact in the marketplace," said Annexus Health Co-Founder and President Brad Frazier. "Reaching $2 billion in assistance is a direct result of an incredible team effort inspired by a unified mission to make a generational impact on the lives of patients and their families."
Due to its rapid growth and expansion, Annexus Health has made several recent additions to its leadership team: David Meier has joined the company as Vice President of Technology Operations; Katy Wile has joined as Vice President of Product Delivery; Safiya Tisdell, who previously served as Senior Director of Adparo®, is now Vice President of Adparo®; Laurie Travisano, previously Senior Director of Provider Solutions, is now Vice President of Provider Solutions; and Brett Olson, previously Vice President of Business Development, is now Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy and Client Services.
The company has also established an executive leadership team. This team includes Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Joe Baffone, Co-Founder and President Brad Frazier, Chief Financial Officer John Lemkey, Chief Technology Officer Scott Mullins, and recently promoted Chief People Officer Amanda Hauskins. Searches are currently underway for a Chief Operations Officer and a Chief of Service Delivery, both of whom will join the executive leadership team.
"As the leading innovator of comprehensive, provider-centric tools for managing the patient access journey, execution is key to our continued growth and success in helping patients get the care and support they deserve," said Joe Baffone. "The reorganization of our leadership teams will serve our hyper growth, product expansion, and strategic collaborations to ensure we are keeping pace with executing the Annexus Health mission, vision, and cultural desires to better our organization, people, users, and customers."
Annexus Health is the leading healthcare technology company that is revolutionizing the patient access journey by delivering innovative solutions, including tech-enabled services, that reduce financial and administrative burdens to improve access, speed, and adherence to critical care.

Students of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) are hiding 10cm-long miniature statues of the “Goddess of Democracy” across the campus in an effort to mark the 1989 Tiananmen square massacre.
Just months earlier, university authorities had removed the original life-size statue from the campus.
Several university students discovered 3D-printed models of the goddess across the CUHK campus this week. The campus will mark the 33rd anniversary of the 1989 massacre on Saturday.
An Instagram account with the handle “finding_manneoi” — refering to the romanised version of the goddess’s Cantonese name — has began to record discoveries of replicas across the open campus.
In some instances, replicas have been found near a vending machine and near its original spot as well among many other locations.
So far, at least nine such miniatures have been created as of Thursday, according to anonymous organisers who are making the status and hiding them.
They said that three statues will be tucked away in the corners of the campus every day starting from 31 May until 5 June.
The Instagram account showed the sculptures accompanied with a note reading, “Bring her home, and do not forget the meaning behind it!”
The account already has over a thousand followers.
The original statue showed the goddess holding a flaming torch in one hand and a book in another, inspired by the democracy symbol paraded by students at Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Calling the statues a “kind of a rebellion”, one of the student-organisers said the Chinese university “stole the statue from its students so we’ve decided to make our own versions of it and put it back”, reported the Hong Kong Free Press.
“To us, the Goddess of Democracy is more than just a political statue, it is also a CUHK landmark. We have emotional attachments and connection to it,” the organiser added.
An 18-year-old who discovered one of the tiny figurines said he considered it a good way to commemorate the current crackdown on pro-democracy activists by China.
This comes at a time authorities in Hong Kong are threatening action against protests.
People staging “unauthorised assemblies” on Saturday have been warned against participating in “extremist” behaviour by the Hong Kong police.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The Washington Redskins have reached an agreement with No. 4 overall pick Trent Williams on a six-year, $60 million contract.
Williams plans to sign the deal in the morning and will then take part in Friday's practice at training camp.
The deal, which has $36.75 million in guaranteed money, ends a one-day holdout after Williams missed the first day of camp Thursday.
Williams is projected to be Washington's starting left tackle, filling the void left by the retirement of six-time Pro Bowler Chris Samuels. | https://www.nfl.com/news/ot-williams-signs-with-redskins-will-practice-friday-09000d5d81963f98 | 2022-06-03T14:02:55Z | https://www.nfl.com/news/ot-williams-signs-with-redskins-will-practice-friday-09000d5d81963f98 | false | null |

East Midlands Airport has issued a statement as travellers up and down the country face huge delays and flight cancellations. Airlines such as easyJet and Tui have been affected by a lack of staff.
East Midlands Airport has assured passengers it will be able to ensure smooth travel for them. It insists "plans are in place to ensure we respond to this extra demand".
Government ministers have been accused of failing to “step up” as holidaymakers continue to suffer major disruption at several UK airports, reports Leicestershire Live. Shadow financial secretary to the Treasury James Murray claimed the Government “hasn’t prepared” for the rise in demand for travel.

Aviation data firm Cirium said 291 departures from major UK airports have been cancelled between May 25 and Tuesday. During the chaotic fallout for passengers, a spokeswoman for the Government has insisted the aviation industry was “responsible for making sure they have enough staff to meet demand”.
Airline passengers have been hit by cancellations and long delays at some airports for several months, with the situation appearing to worsen this week during the half-term school holiday and ahead of the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday period. Tui Airways will cancel around six flights at Manchester Airport every day until the end of June. A total of 291 departures from major UK airports had been cancelled between May 25 and May 31.
The airline said in a statement this is due to “ongoing challenges in our operation”. In response, the airport said the carrier and its ground handler, Swissport, are suffering from staff shortages and are experiencing “significant challenges with their check-in and baggage reclaim operations”.
It added: “We understand Tui’s difficult decision to cancel a number of services over the course of the next month, although we are obviously disappointed to see passengers’ plans disrupted in this way.”
EasyJet cancelled at least 31 flights at Gatwick on Tuesday. British Airways is continuing to cancel dozens of flights each day, although the airline said passengers are being told several days in advance.
Passengers at airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Bristol are reporting long delays, although East Midlands Airport has not seen the same chaos.
An East Midlands Airport spokesperson said: “The Covid Pandemic, from which the entire aviation sector is still recovering, was the biggest ever shock to international travel. The challenges it currently faces as passenger demand grows following two years of significant disruption is a global issue, and not unique to the UK.
“As each day passes, East Midlands Airport (EMA) feels more like it should at this time of year. Rewind 12 months and the contrast could not be greater. In May 2021, as restrictions were starting to be eased, we welcomed 400 passengers a day.
"Today we’re seeing 14,000 daily passengers. Throughout this half-term week, we anticipate that 170,000 passengers will travel through EMA, most of whom are flying to popular holiday destinations across Europe.
“While there have been isolated incidents of disruption, we don’t envisage there being significant issues in the coming days. As the core summer months approach, passenger numbers will increase.
"Together, with our airline partners, plans are in place to ensure we respond to this extra demand. Thanks to the team’s hard work, the progress we’ve made with recruitment and the flexibility of colleagues to cover busy shifts, our passengers are getting through security without delay.”
“We also encourage passengers to do their bit to help themselves by:
- turning up when their airline asks them to – not before, not after
- be diligent when packing bags
- understanding what’s required of them before going through security
- making sure they have the necessary documentation or evidence of tests/vaccines if required
- planning ahead - and not leaving preparation until the last minute”
The aviation industry is suffering from staff shortages after thousands were let go during the coronavirus pandemic. They are now struggling to recruit new workers and have their security checks processed.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps introduced legislation last month to allow new aviation recruits to begin training before passing security checks to reduce the time it takes for them to start work. A Government spokeswoman said airports are “busier than usual” due to “an exceptionally high number of people travelling” this week. | https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/east-midlands-airport-issues-statement-7162613 | 2022-06-03T14:05:40Z | https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/east-midlands-airport-issues-statement-7162613 | false | 1 |

The living room is a place where you come to relax. Today we are going to show you a number of luxurious living rooms by home decor and interior design professionals from around the world. We will show you how luxury can be expressed in different ways depending on the materials used, size, colour and function.
Homify has collected a whole lot of stunning possibilities for you below, which we hope will be source for inspiration for a smattering of luxury in your living room!
The material, the style, the colour. Everything in this room exudes understated luxury. It starts with the big grey tiles, which breaks up the room and produce an incredible effect when light falls on the floors.
The grey flooring is extended to the walls, while a wooden side table against the wall brings in a warm and earthy feel. This is pure, natural luxury!
At the back, we can see a mirror framed with wood. It's these elements that enhance and add warmth to the grey tones.
The large concrete pillar in the center of the room breaks up the space, featuring a television for entertainment and a fireplace for a cozy evening.
Luxury can come in the form of a very simple design.
This large sofa would accommodate plenty of guests and is perfect for a cozy evening with friends. The wall here runs along the length of the room, giving a home to the television and the long, modern fireplace. We can see that the television is sunk into the wall, taking up very little space by not protruding out. This keeps the lines taut and clean.
The neutral colours also keep everything peaceful and serene.
Here we can see a bright room with a beautiful view. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light to flow into this space.The wall is decorated with colourful artwork. This is a great way to add personal style, while leaving the rest of the living room a more neutral colour.
Don't you love how the leather ottoman doubles up as a coffee table, introducing bold accents to the neutral space?
The smaller elements in the room add to the luxurious effect along with the vibrant leopard print chair in the corner of the room. This contrasts beautifully with the large, sleek modern sofa.
Because the foundation of the living room is neutral, the other styles come together perfectly.
The large steel windows in this living room give it an industrial look and feel, while the rest is very sleek and modern. The living room obtains its luxury by combining the industrial with the modern.
The coloured cushions in the sofa give this space a very cozy and appealing atmosphere. Together with the patterned rug on the floor, this makes for a much warmer space.
The large piece of artwork on the wall is the focal point of the living room, however, bringing all of the colours together. The large windows allow natural light to flow into the space so that the dark colours of the artwork don't overwhelm the living room.
The cabinets along the back of the room are very unique, providing storage space with an artistic design.
This living room is located in a waterfront villa. The split level division of the house ensures that all rooms are optimally linked for a very open atmosphere.
In this space, we can see how wall art and a beautiful rug on the floor is key to a homely yet luxurious living room, along with little touches here and there.
The tall cupboards at the back of the room also offer plenty of storage space to keep items that shouldn't be on display neatly out of sight.
Have a look at these other cool simple storage solutions.
A very sweet and subtle way to add luxury to the living room is to use soft pastels. The high windows with the curtains that run from the ceiling to the floor also add height to the room.
The soft hues in the form of the furniture and the accessories keep the room looking very spacious and light.
What's is only partly visible in the image, but is certainly very important, are the high cupboards. Featuring sturdy wooden planks and doors, they are a beautiful contrast to the softer colours found throughout the rest of the living room.
Natural colours and materials can truly enhance a living room.
In this image, we can see how the stone wall that features the fireplace subtly separates the dining room from the living room. This adds a rustic touch the space, making for a very elegant living room.
The colour palette is neutral but playful, where different shades and textures been introduced. After a delicious dinner, you could relax here in luxury!
Dark colors in the living room can be extremely attractive, if combined well with bright accents and beautiful lighting, as we can see in this living room by BB Interior.
The dark shelving provides storage but thanks to the backlit shelves, is also the perfect space to put accessories on display. By lighting up the accessories, you do them even more justice.
The chandelier also adds incredible atmosphere to the space. The graceful shape is reminiscent of ivy in terms of how it trails up the ceiling.
What a beautiful combination of old and new!
The old wooden ceiling beams and touches here and there contrast dramatically with the stark white walls and ceiling while tones dominate this space. This also ensures that some items stand out.
The old flea market style cabinet finished in a dark wood is beautiful, introducing a charming and more traditional touch to the modern living room.
The fireplace and chimney goes all the way up into the white ceiling, while the soft grey sofa focuses our eye back into the room. This is a simple but very stylish and effective combination.
To be honest, this room would exude luxury even without furniture.
The original features of the room combine beautifully with the modern interior furniture.
The floor is decorated with a large rug that features a palette of different shades. The different textures and colors provide a good foundation for the style of the room.
The living room is enclosed by a cabinet, which breaks up the large space. The walls and doors all feature very traditional elements that enhance the luxury of the space.
The real highlight of the space, however, is the magnificent structure on the ceiling that features the sunken in lighting. This is truly one of a kind!
If you feature a few big elements in a living room that attract attention, you can have a much more luxurious look and feel than if you just include a few small accessories. Less is more!
The elements that draw the most attention in this living room are the wooden wall behind the television and the big animal-skin rug on the floor. This is very stylish!
A simple clean shelf under the television is thus all that is needed. Its colour allows it to blend seamlessly into the wall behind it, while it still offers the television and a few decor items some support. This is a nice alternative if you don't want shelves.

MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Leaders from a Michigan state university made a surprise announcement Thursday night at an eighth-grade graduation ceremony.
All the graduates of the Timberland Charter Academy will receive free tuition to Grand Valley State University as long as they graduate high school with at least a 2.8 GPA.
The announcement was made to approximately 40 students at the end of the graduation ceremony.
The academy is the first school selected for the program in West Michigan.
Students knew a major announcement would be made, but they didn’t know what it might be.
“I kind of had a feeling it was something about college,” said student Aniyah Thomas.
Her mother, Gloria Hammond, said the news came as a relief for parents.
“It’s exciting for our children to have an opportunity to go to college if they want to go and not have to pay for it and that barrier has been broken for them,” Hammond said.
Valedictorian Jemarion Brown, who won many awards at the ceremony, was not expecting such a big announcement. His mother, Candace Cook, said the opportunity will help so many young lives.
“This is a great school for him, and I’m extremely happy that they choose Timberland to do this. It’s a blessing,” Brown said.
Stephen Evans, the school director, said the announcement includes additional funding to help with other college expenses.
“The program offers free tuition, tutoring, also a variety of support programs. You name it. Everything that a student will need to be successful at the college level and the system that we’re going to put in at the high school level, at Timberland, to support them through high school,” Evans said.
GVSU leaders say it may take a little time for the impact of the announcement to set in for the students.
Barry Hall, the assistant director of charter through college at GVSU, was the keynote speaker and announced the surprise.
“Once they have sophomores and juniors and they have colleges talking to them, say how much it costs to go here, that whole process of getting in, they’re going to say, ‘Wow, I’ve already been accepted into a school already, and I know what this process is all about,’” Hall said.
The money for the tuition comes through the Grand Valley Pledge program.
Parents are also eligible to apply for scholarships to help them with their degrees. | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/graduation-surprise-entire-8th-grade-class-promised-free-college-tuition-in-michigan/ | 2022-06-03T14:08:40Z | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/graduation-surprise-entire-8th-grade-class-promised-free-college-tuition-in-michigan/ | true | 18 |

Azerbaijan has repatriated 13 more citizens (11 children, two women) from Iraq and Syria recently as part of the government's repatriation efforts, Azernews reports, citing the ministry.
Of the repatriated people, 11 were placed in the social service institution of the Agency for Social Services under the Labor and Social Security Ministry, and two in the medical institution. The repatriates have received preliminary medical, social, and psychological assistance.
As a next step, the agency's social workers and psychologists will assess the socio-psychological state of the repatriated women and children and psychological support measures will be implemented for each repatriated person based on an individual development plan.
When repatriates finish their rehabilitation procedure, their social rehabilitation continues after they are returned to their families. Their social assistance services are offered in collaboration with other appropriate agencies.
Individual social work is carried out by the agency professionals for the social reintegration and social rehabilitation of the repatriated persons. These people are involved in psychological counseling, educational activities, and various clubs for meaningful leisure time. | http://www.today.az/news/society/221132.html | 2022-06-03T14:09:35Z | http://www.today.az/news/society/221132.html | true | 2 |

HOUSTON — According to reports, the White House is expected to announce a plan soon to cancel some student loan debt.
According to The Washington Post, President Biden’s plan would forgive $10,000 in federal student loan debt for Americans earning less than $150,000 a year or $300,000 for married couples.
According to the Post, that would settle the balances of around a third of borrowers, while cutting debt in half for another 20 percent.
Advocates who have been fighting for the cancellation of student loan debt have expressed anger over the plan, according to CNBC.
Activists say the president needs to cancel at least $50,000 of debt per borrower to make a real dent. They cite research that shows the average student debt is over $30,000 with more than three million borrowers owing more than $100,000.
But even the reported plan of cancelling $10,000 in debt is not set in stone. The Washington Posts reports more changes could be made before the official announcement.
No matter the details, any debt cancellation could face heavy criticism from Republican lawmakers. In the past they have said student loan forgiveness benefits higher earners while punishing lower income individuals. | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/student-loan-debt-forgiveness/285-406d6397-a2c1-4f0b-9008-87240d79157b | 2022-06-03T14:12:10Z | https://www.wltx.com/article/news/student-loan-debt-forgiveness/285-406d6397-a2c1-4f0b-9008-87240d79157b | true | 5 |
Walmart says it will create more than 4,000 jobs with new, high-tech fulfillment centers
(Gray News) - To better tackle the challenges of e-commerce, Walmart said it’s building four next-generation fulfillment centers, creating more than 4,000 new jobs.
The first of the new centers will open this summer in Joliet, Illinois, with others to follow in McCordsville, Indiana, Lancaster, Texas, and Greencastle, Pennsylvania, the retail giant said.
The fulfillment centers will combine people, robotics and machine learning to increase the speed of order fulfillment, the company said in a press release.
The big-box retailer says with these new fulfillment centers in place to support logistics, it could increase the availability of its next- or two-day shipping for millions of items to 75% of the U.S. population.
To improve efficiency, Walmart said they’ve partnered with Knapp, a tech company, to create an automated, high-density storage system. The innovations allow Walmart to complete in five steps what once took 12 steps., the company said.
The mechanization will also help make the jobs less strenuous for employees, who will no longer have to walk up to nine miles a day picking items for order fulfillment, the fact sheet said.
“Our priority is to strategically locate our (fulfillment centers) to pair most effectively with our 4,700 stores and 210 distribution centers. Together, this system of fulfillment assets is optimized to get orders to customers fast and efficiently,” the company said.

Boston Police warn of home improvement scams targeting senior citizens
BOSTON, Mass. — With summer just around the corner, officials are warning the public about a new wave of home improvement scams targeting the elderly in the Boston area.
According to police, many Boston residents in summers past have paid tens of thousands of dollars for masonry, driveway, paving, chimney, basement, roofing and fence repair that is not up to par. Oftentimes, these victims are left with worse damage to their homes and a hefty bill.
Most of the scammers identified by authorities are traveling from Ireland and the United Kingdom under a program that doesn’t allow them to work in the U.S. during their 90-day visit. The scammers are primarily targeting senior citizens.
Tactics used by these scammers include:
· Door-to-door solicitation – paper flyers with uninspired business names (A1 Paving, City & Town Paving, etc.)
· Will offer discounts because of “left over materials” from neighborhood jobs
· High pressure – will exaggerate need for work to be done immediately
· After initial work may show threatening or intimidating demeanor
· They will ask checks be made out to them individually and not the company name
Residents are reminded that most of the work being done by these scam artists need a City of Boston building permit. Additionally, the con artists companies are not registered with the city or state and their websites are brand new.
Anyone who approaches your home and wants to perform unsolicited work on your house should be viewed as a potential scammer. If you feel like you have been victimized by one of these scams, you are asked to file a report with your local police department.

Government has issued show cause notices to 16 companies, including NTPC, JSW Steel, Hindalco, Vedanta and Nalco for delays in operating coal blocks.
Show cause notices are issued from time to time to companies which do not adhere to the timelines prescribed in their agreements for timely operationalisation of coal blocks or for non-achievement of targeted coal production.
"The Scrutiny Committee, in its 17th meeting held... recently has reviewed cases of 24 coal mines...Subsequent to the meeting of the Scrutiny Committee, further show cause notices were issued to 16 companies for 22 coal blocks," the Coal Ministry said in a statement.
While Vedanta and NTPC were issued notices for delays in production of three blocks each, Birla Corp Ltd and Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd were given show cause notices for two blocks each.
Other companies that were issued notices include Damodar Valley Corporation, West Bengal Power Development Corporation, B S Ispat Ltd, and Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Ltd.
The ministry has set up the Scrutiny Committee to consider the show cause notices and replies received from allocatees on case-to-case basis and recommend penalty in cases the delays are attributable to the companies.
The panel "recommended proportionate appropriation of performance security in four cases i.e Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Limited (Rajbar E&D), Topworth Urja & Metals Ltd (Marki Mangli-I), Ultratech Cements Ltd (Bicharpur) and National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (Talaipalli)...," it added.
The recommendations of the panel have been accepted by the Government and appropriation orders are being issued.
The coal ministry further said it expects 58 coal blocks to become operational in the ongoing fiscal. The mines are likely to produce around 138.28 million tonnes of coal as against the scheduled output of 203.67 million tonnes. | https://www.ndtv.com/business/ntpc-vedanta-and-16-others-issued-show-cause-notices-for-delay-in-coal-mines-operations-3035906 | 2022-06-03T14:13:31Z | https://www.ndtv.com/business/ntpc-vedanta-and-16-others-issued-show-cause-notices-for-delay-in-coal-mines-operations-3035906 | true | 1 |
(NEXSTAR) — Home prices have been hot across the U.S. recently, but they aren’t high everywhere. In fact, some areas are far less expensive than the national average.
The national median home list price was $425,000 in April, according to Realtor.com, even as the housing market remains in a slowdown. Realtor.com found the median list price for a home in the most affordable state — West Virginia — isn’t even close to the national average.
Of the cheapest states, all have median home price tags below $300,000. They’re all primarily rural and without huge cities (with a few exceptions), the real estate website found. They haven’t “seen the typical boom-and-bust real estate cycles that coastal markets saw,” according to George Ratiu, manager of economic research for Realtor.com.
Instead, these states are scattered through the Midwest and South.
West Virginia has the lowest median list price at $199,000, less than half that of the national average. This is the only state with a median price below $200,000, Realtor.com’s analysis found. The next most affordable state is Ohio with a median home price tag of $215,000.
Arkansas and Kansas are the only two other states with median prices below $250,000, coming in at $245,000 and $248,500, respectively. Ranking at the bottom of the list is Missouri at $270,000, which is still $155,000 cheaper than the national average.
Here are the 10 states Realtor.com found to have the cheapest housing markets, as well as their median home list prices, based on April’s data:
Cities in some of these states have even offered financial incentives for people to move to the area. Among those include Bentonville, Arkansas; Lincoln and Topeka, Kansas; Morgantown, West Virginia; Tulsa, Oklahoma, and West Lafayette, Indiana.
While the markets in these states are more affordable, they’re still competitive for buyers.
Realtors from West Virginia, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi say buying a home isn’t necessarily easier in their states. The market is as hot as ever, with the demand up and listings getting multiple offers.
It’s unclear whether relief will be coming anytime soon for home buyers in these states and throughout the country.
Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates edged down slightly this week, though interest rates on the key 30-year home loan remain at decade-high levels. Higher borrowing rates appear to be slowing the housing market, a crucial sector of the economy.
In April, sales of both existing homes and new homes showed signs of faltering, worsened by sharply higher home prices and a shrunken supply of available properties.

Tony Blair's old private school Fettes College pays outs £400,000 to former pupil, 67, who 'was beaten and sexually abused from age of 12 by maths teacher'
- School sued by a man who gave evidence to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry
- It is the first known legal victory against the prestigious Edinburgh school
- Some 20 former pupils have raised actions for damages against the school
Tony Blair's old private school Fettes College has paid out £400,000 to a former pupil who claimed he was beaten and sexually abused by a teacher.
The school was sued by a man, known as Frank, who gave evidence to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
It settled damages out of court, in the first known legal victory against the prestigious Edinburgh school where boarding fees can reach £36,500.
Some 20 former pupils have raised actions for damages with more than a dozen naming the same former master and payments could total more than £15 million.
Frank claims he was 'beaten and sexually abused' from the age of 12 by an former-maths teacher now living in South Africa, known as Edgar.
Former pupil Frank attended Fettes Junior School and Fettes College as a day student between 1975 and 1981 and says abuse happened in the classroom.
Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, has paid out £400,000 to a former pupil who claimed he was beaten and sexually abused by a teacher
Frank, now 67, raised a personal damages action reportedly for £1 million at the Court of Session against the Governors of the Fettes Trust which manages the school.
His claim has now been settled out of court while the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) attempt to extradite the teacher at the centre of the claims from South Africa.
Frank said: 'It has never been about the money.
'Fettes had the opportunity back in 2005 to do the right thing but they tried to bury things rather than do right by the pupils who were in their care..'
It is claimed that Edgar, who was married, singled Frank out as he showed signs of starting puberty earlier than other children.
The alleged attacks started with Frank being grabbed by the hair as he sat at his desk then having his neck whipped back.
The violence allegedly escalated and became sexual assaults.
Frank claimed: 'He'd molest me while I stood at his desk as he marked my class work and one day when I was kept back at end of class he pinned me against a door frame and assaulted me.
'It was terrifying and I was frozen - I could even hear people walk past outside.
'At that time teachers had a supreme authority - it was like a totalitarian right-wing command structure where pupils were expected to obey regardless..'
Frank and his mother reported their allegations to the school and Edgar was sent on a one month sabbatical then reinstated.
The college counts former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair among its alumni
During the decades that followed Frank suffered from PTSD, flashbacks and depression.
He left Fettes with poor qualifications which impacted his ability to secure a career.
In the mid-2000s Frank reported his claims to the school and Police Scotland but no action was taken.
He is one of a number of the former pupils who say they were the victims of physical and sexual assaults at Edgar's hands.
The COPFS initially refused to extradite Edgar citing a time-bar on certain historic abuse crimes, the age of the accused and delays to the extradition process being exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
It later reversed that decision and extradition procedures are now under way.
The allegations against Edgar were first publicly aired at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry last November.
It heard that Fettes College sent Edgar to be treated at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and he returned to the school for a further three-and-a-half years.
The accusations were not reported to police by then headmaster Anthony Chenevix-Trench.
A witness, named only as Michael, who was the headmaster of Fettes Junior School at the time, said the alleged abuse came to light when Frank told his mother that Edgar had touched him in spring 1975.
He told the inquiry: 'Edgar did not deny he had touched that boy. In my view Edgar admitted his offence, he never said that he did not do it.'
Fettes College is a private coeducational independent boarding and day school in Edinburgh, Scotland, with over two-thirds of its pupils in residence on campus
Edgar later returned to the school and continued teaching for three-and-a-half years until more allegations followed in 1979 along with similar claims in South Africa dating from the late 60s.
Fresh allegations followed and Edgar was sacked - but given a glowing reference by Mr Chenevix-Trench who described his as 'definitely a thoroughbred'.
The reference also stated that Edgar 'came out of a good stable' and was 'a good games player'.
Frank hopes his case will prompt further legal actions and see the report of all abuse concerns to the police made mandatory.
He added: 'I know I am not the only survivor of abuse at Fettes and I don't believe my attacker was the only teacher.
'Many children were beaten - some until they were unconscious - and sexually abused and I would urge anyone to come forward as the shame is not yours.
'It's about time the door was closed on organisations being able to quietly investigate allegations of abuse quietly 'in house'.
'A mandatory requirement to report all abuse concerns to the police is the only way to detect predators and bring them to justice.'
Kim Leslie, Partner at Digby Brown Solicitors, said: 'Frank's strength in speaking out is matched only by his strength in taking those responsible to court.
'Many abuse cases have been raised against Fettes but I believe Frank's victory is the first that's publicly known to be successful.
'I hope survivors may take hope from this result as they consider their own route to justice to get the damages and recognition they deserve.'
Fettes also counts actor Tilda Swinton, a string of high court judges, UK Government cabinet ministers and captains of industry among its alumni.
In a statement to the SCAI, Fettes made a 'full and unreserved apology'.
It said: 'While words of apology may have limited worth, we fully accept and recognise in the past there was sexual, physical and emotional abuse of pupils while at Fettes College.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10881995/Fettes-College-pays-outs-400-000-former-pupil-beaten-sexually-abused.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-03T14:16:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10881995/Fettes-College-pays-outs-400-000-former-pupil-beaten-sexually-abused.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |

So You Think You Can Dance: Matthew Morrison Challenges Firing Report
Following the news that FOX's So You Think You Can Dance judge Matthew Morrison (Glee, AHS 1984) had departed the dance competition series over a failure to (as he wrote in a statement, see below) "follow competition production protocols, " PEOPLE reported from sources close to the FOX series that Morrison was fired "after he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant" via "flirty direct messages on social media." The article described the female contestant as feeling "uncomfortable with his line of comments," with her reporting the matter to producers. From there, an internal investigation by FOX resulted in Morrison's firing- at least that's how it was reported. But now, Morrison is pushing back via Instagram, sharing a video where he reads what he claims was the only message he sent via DM to the female contestant and offering his reasoning for it. From there, the Glee star calls out the report for relying on anonymous sources to attack his reputation.
Here's a look at Morrison's post offering his side of the controversy:
Hosted by Cat Deely, Morrison was expected to join Stephen "tWitch" Boss and JoJo Siwa at the judges' table (with a news judge expected by June 15th for the next round of competition). "Having the opportunity to be a judge on 'So You Think You Can Dance' was an incredible honor for me. Therefore, it is my deepest regret to inform you that I will be leaving the show. After filming the audition rounds for the show and completing the selection of the 12 finalists, I did not follow competition production protocols, preventing me from being able to judge the competition fairly," Morrison said in a statement to EW when the news first broke, though no other details were released at the time. "I cannot apologize enough to all involved, and I will be watching alongside you all on what I know will be one of the best seasons yet."
The 17th season of the hit dance competition series SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE features highly skilled dancers between the ages of 18 and 30 showcasing their talents in various dance styles, including contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation, breaking and more. Those who are selected to move on to the SYTYCD studio will work with world-renowned choreographers and compete each week in a variety of styles, with brand-new twists and turns introduced into the competition. Hosted by Cat Deeley, this season will introduce a new dynamic judging panel – welcoming home Stephen "tWitch" Boss, alongside Emmy-, Tony- and Golden Globe-nominated artist Matthew Morrison and dancer, singer and digital sensation JoJo Siwa.
FOX's So You Think You Can Dance is from Industrial Media's 19 Entertainment and MRC. The series is executive-produced by co-creator Nigel Lythgoe, Jeff Thacker, Rosie Seitchik, Eli Holzman, and Aaron Saidman on behalf of 19 Entertainment, with Seitchik also serving as showrunner. Over the course of its 16 seasons, the dance competition series has earned 71 Emmy Award nominations and garnered 17 Emmy Award wins, including Outstanding Choreography and Outstanding Costumes, as well as awards in Outstanding Lighting Design. | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/so-you-think-you-can-dance-matthew-morrison-challenges-firing-report/ | 2022-06-03T14:23:49Z | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/so-you-think-you-can-dance-matthew-morrison-challenges-firing-report/ | true | 1 |

Two Baseball Players — One of Them a Giant — Get Into a Fight Over Fantasy Football
"This will go down as one of the most memorable sports stories of 2022," said Sports Illustrated of an incident that sounds like it should be an April Fools' headline. On Friday, the Cincinnati Reds' Tommy Pham was suspended for three games — or the entirety of the Giants/Reds' weekend series,...

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The FitzMagic has run out.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is retiring, he confirmed to The Associated Press in a text message on Friday, ending a career that spanned 17 seasons and nine teams and made him one of the NFL's most colorful and beloved journeymen.
It was a career of perseverance in which Fitzpatrick never settled for being a backup. Carrying himself with playful determination and a swashbuckling style reflected by his unruly beard, the seventh-round draft pick out of Harvard overcame his physical limitations and modest college roots to become the NFL’s first player to throw four touchdown passes in a single game with five different teams.
Chan Gailey, who coached Fitzpatrick at three separate stops, called Fitzpatrick's leadership ability “the best I've been around.”
"He’s a fierce competitor. He’s extremely smart. So he had answers for players. And players always respect somebody that has answers," Gailey said. “But he never lorded it over them that he was smarter than everybody else. He was humble smart.”
Fitzpatrick informed former teammates of his decision on Thursday, and former Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson was the first to reveal on Twitter that the veteran QB planned to retire. Jackson shared an image from Fitzpatrick with the names of hundreds of teammates, along with the message: “Forever grateful for the magical ride.”
Jackson responded by writing: “Congrats on a Helluva career, Fitzy!! Loved sharing the field with you!! The gratitude is all mine!!”
The 39-year-old Fitzpatrick’s last stop was in Washington. Named the starter ahead of last season, he suffered a hip injury in the team's season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and never returned to the field.
One blemish on his career: Fitzpatrick never made the playoffs. The closest he came was in 2015 with the New York Jets, who were eliminated from contention when he threw three fourth-quarter interceptions in a season-ending 22-17 loss at Buffalo. The Jets finished that season 10-6, the best record for a team with Fitzpatrick under center.
Gailey was the Jets' offensive coordinator that year and held the same role when Fitzpatrick was in Miami in 2020. He led the Dolphins to a 3-3 start before losing the starting job to rookie Tua Tagovailoa.
“He deserves better than he got. He never made the playoffs. I hate that for him. It ate at me,” Gailey said. “And I thought we were going to make it in Miami. He had that team ready to explode, and the change was made at quarterback. I hated that for him. I really did. But he handled that with class just like he handled everything else with class."
Fitzpatrick finished with a 59-87-1 record as a starter in a career that began with St. Louis in 2005, with other stops in Cincinnati, Tennessee, Houston and Tampa Bay. For a player who initially considered himself more likely to land a job on Wall Street than play an NFL down, Fitzpatrick ranks 32nd on the career list with 34,990 yards passing, 36th with 223 touchdown passes and 49th with 169 interceptions.
Always considered a backup, Fitzpatrick wound up becoming the starter — because of injury or performance — for every team.
That included Buffalo, where Fitzpatrick replaced Trent Edwards as the starter in 2010. That was when he picked up the FitzMagic nickname for leading a no-name Gailey-coached team to a 5-2 start in 2011. The Bills ultimately collapsed and finished 6-10.
He was admired for the connections he made with teammates and learning about their backgrounds, and for his daring — and sometimes reckless — style that made him just as likely to throw a game-deciding touchdown pass or a game-turning interception.
“I’ve always relied on the intangible side of things and I think that shows in my play, but sometimes it’s a real positive and sometimes it’s a negative,” he said in 2014 while with Houston. “That’s something I fight to this day in becoming a more consistent and efficient quarterback.”
Though Fitzpatrick was cut by the Bills after the 2012 season, Buffalo remained close to his heart. He was famously caught on video shirtless in frigid conditions while cheering the Bills to a 47-17 win over New England in an AFC wild-card playoff in January.
“I take a lot of pride in the work I put into a game or a season. That’s why I’ve stuck around so long. It has nothing to do with my talent. You know, my talent got me drafted in the seventh round, barely,” he said in 2016.
“So when I sit back when I’m done, I’m not going to sit back and look at the stats and the wins and losses and all that,” Fitzpatrick added. “It’s really playing and earning the respect of my teammates that I value the most.”

A woman has alleged that she was sexually harassed by a man at a station on Delhi Metro's yellow line, officials said on Friday.
The woman took to Twitter to narrate her ordeal following which the Delhi Police asked her to provide her contact details so that they can reach her.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also replied to the woman and asked for the exact time of the incident.
In a series of tweets, the woman claimed that on Thursday afternoon when she got off at the Jor Bagh metro station, a man approached her on the pretext of confirming an address. ''While travelling on the yellow line today, I faced sexual harassment at the Jor Bagh Station. The man had asked for my help w an address during the metro ride. ''I helped him, then got off at my station and sat on the platform to book a cab. The man approached me again at the station under the garb of confirming the address. Believing dat he needed help..'' The man flashed his genitals while trying to to show me a file containing the address, the woman alleged in a tweet. The woman also alleged that the policeman standing on the platform did not take any action after she approached her for help.
''I approached a policeman standing on the platform, but he flatly refused to help me and asked me to go upstairs to talk about it.
''I was still scared but I somehow managed to go upstairs and found other policemen. I asked dem to take me to the CCTV room so dat I could recognise him,'' she said in another tweet.
The entire incident was captured on camera but then we saw him get into a different metro and leave. ''I asked them to do something about it but instead they started blaming me and said dat I shouldve created a scene & tht theres nothing they can do now since he managed to leave,'' the woman said in her tweets.
The woman said she is scared to step out of her house and ''the incident has completely shaken up my belief that metros are safe.'' She said it's important that this reaches the right authorities, including the DMRC and the Delhi Police so that they know ''how bad their safety measures are''.
Replying to her tweets, the DMRC asked the woman to share the exact time of the incident.
''Please provide exact time of the incident. In such cases, commuters are requested to immediately report the matter to the nearest metro staff or contact customer care centre at the station. They can also call, DMRC helpline no. 155370 or CISF helpline no. 155655 so that immediate help can be provided,'' the DMRC said in its tweet.

With elections in Gujarat scheduled for later this year, two former ministers and a sitting BJP MP organised the Shreemad Bhagwat Saptah, week-long religious events, in their respective constituencies in the Saurashtra region last month. The three hosted several politicians and government ministers, and large crowds attended the events.
Though the BJP leaders claimed that they did not organise the events with the elections in mind, the Congress said the ruling party had failed to address people’s core issues and had launched a “surrogate campaign”. In the last state election, the Congress had improved its tally in the House on the back of a turnaround in Saurashtra where the party’s seat count went up from 15 to 28.
The series of events began with former state minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, the MLA from Jamnagar (North) popularly known as Hakubha, organising a Shreemad Bhagavata Katha Mahotsav in Jamnagar from May 1. The Shree Bhagyalakshmi Education and Charitable Trust, which Jadeja heads, organised the week-long religious gala, called “katha (story)”, and had Ramesh Oza, the head of the Sandipani Ashram in Porbandar, as the “purani”. A purani reads the Puranas at “katha” events. Oza is a popular exponent of the Shreemad Bhagavata Purana.
The Jamnagar event had a grand opening with a “pothiyatra” — the tradition of organising a procession with the religious book — and was attended, among others, by former ministers Bhupendra Chudasama, Ranchhod Faldu, and Jayesh Radadiya; BJP leader Alpesh Thakor; and Patidar leaders Naresh Patel and Jayrma Vansaliya. There has been much speculation about Naresh Patel’s political future, with the Congress trying to get the influential Leuva Patidar leader and Rajkot-based industrialist to join the party.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, his ministerial colleagues Raghavji Patel and Arvind Raiyani, former CM Shankersinh Vaghela, former deputy CM and BJP leader Nitin Patel, state BJP president CR Paatil, former Gujarat Congress president Arjun Modhwadia, and several BJP MLAs and MPs also attended the event. Every evening, popular folk singers such as Kirtidan Gadhvi, Kinjal Dave, and Alpa Patel performed for the crowds.
“I had originally planned to organise this ‘katha’ in 2020 but had to postpone due to Covid-19. It had nothing to do with politics. It was purely a religious event and a vehicle for me to do some religious work,” Jadeja said, adding that he had organised a “katha” in his native village Bhatel in Jamnagar in 2007 and in Haridwar three years later.
Asked about the presence of the who’s who of politics at the event, Jadeja replied, “Am I not a politician? Am I supposed to have no relations with anyone?”
Jayesh Radadiya, who was the minister of food, civil supplies and consumer affairs till last September and is the sitting MLA from Jetpur in Rajkot, followed Jadeja’s example by organising a similar “katha” under the banner of the Kalpeshkumar Vitthalbhai Radadiya Gauvansh Panjrapol and Gaushala in his hometown, Jam Kandorna, in Rajkot district from May 24 to May 29.
The event was organised with the objective of collecting funds for the KVRGPG, an organisation named after Jayesh’s late young brother Kalpesh that works for cow conservation. CR Paatil, Raghavji Patel, Raiyani, Keshod MLA Devabhai Malam as well as Porbandar MP Ramesh Dhaduk, Jamnagar MP Poonam Maadam, and Rajkot MP Mohan Kundariya were among those who attended the religious gathering. Kirtidan Gadhvi also performed at Radadiya’s event.
“I myself am a politician and therefore, it is natural that politicians will attend an event organised by me in Jam Kandorna. That said, the event was above party politics and more about religion. That was the reason Congress MLAs Lalit Vasoya and Pratap Dudhat also came to listen to the ‘katha’,” said Radadiya, adding that this was the third time he had organised a “katha”. The last one was four years ago. “I do it to collect funds for the gaushala and this year donors donated Rs 1.6 crore for cows,” he added.
At the same time Radadiya hosted his event, Dhaduk co-hosted a Bhagwat Saptah in Rajkot’s Upleta town in collaboration with Dasijivan Satsang Mandal, a local religious group. He got Jignesh Dada, another popular “kathakar” known for his rendition of the Bhagavata Purana, as the “purani”.
The first-time MP claimed he had been organising “kathas” for 12 years. “I organise one or two ‘kathas’ every year in different parts of the state as part of my commitment to religion. The people of Upleta had been demanding that a ‘katha’ be organised now that Covid-19 has gone. In the wake of the pandemic, the religious event was necessary,” said Dhaduk, adding, “It was purely a religious event with no hidden political agenda. Even Congress MLA Vasoya and local Congress leaders attended the event.”
Dismissing the BJP leaders’ statements, Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said, “While they may claim that these are apolitical, religious events only, to what an extent can these events remain non-political when organisers are politicians and political functionaries are invited as guests? These religious events are one type of surrogate campaign, a well-planned public outreach campaign steeped in religion. The BJP leaders can’t go among the public as the state government has failed to address the core issues of the people. It has not been able to do justice to farmers, it has failed to provide education to the youth at affordable rates. It has also not been able to provide healthcare to people. Therefore, BJP leaders are taking the shelter of religion.”

NEW YORK, USA, 02nd June 2022-/African Media Agency (AMA)/- Accompanying Somalia's newly-appointed drought envoy on his first field visit, the United Nations' top humanitarian official for the Horn of Africa country warned on Tuesday of the devastating outlook for millions of affected Somalis, amidst heightened risks of famine.
"The situation is extremely dire and grim: 7.1 million people are going to be affected by this drought situation before the end of this year," said the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Adam Abdelmoula.
1.4 million children 'facing acute malnutrition'
He said that around 1.4 million children were facing "acute malnutrition this year, and 330,000 are likely to become severely malnourished".
As of May, according to a recent report from UN humanitarian coordination office, OCHA, some 6.1 million Somalis have been affected by the drought emergency.
Of that number, 771,400 have been displaced from their homes in search of water, food and pasture; mostly women and children. The outlook has worsened due to the prospects of a fifth consecutive failed rainy season.
Mr. Abdelmoula was speaking at the 'ADC' camp for internally displaced people (IDP) in the Baidoa district of Somalia's South West State. He was accompanying Somalia's Special Envoy for Drought Response, Abdirahman Abdishakur, who was appointed by the Somali president in late May, on his visit to an IDP camp.
Not enough rain
OCHA has stated that during April to mid-May this year, light to moderate rain was recorded in parts of southern, central and north-western Somalia, and there were localized storms and flash flooding in some areas.
But the amount of rain was below average, poorly distributed, and insufficient to alleviate the current drought conditions.
As a result of the poor rains, Somalia is facing a fourth consecutive failed rainy season and a heightened risk of localized famine in six areas - including in South West State - particularly if food prices continue to rise and humanitarian assistance is not sustained to reach the most vulnerable people.
Additionally, the next rainy season is projected to be below average, meaning the drought emergency will worsen. As the country faces the risk of famine in those six areas, humanitarian entities are transitioning the thrust of their activities from drought response to famine prevention, re-orienting responses to target the most vulnerable populations and developing a famine prevention plan.
Baidoa among hardest hit
South West State's Baidoa district is one of the areas of Somalia that has been hit hardest by the current drought.
Since the beginning of the year, 230,000 people have been displaced into South West State.
Its Bay region has the highest number of people experiencing acute food insecurity; this is in addition to high rates of malnutrition, particularly in Baidoa IDP camps. Since March, cases of acute watery diarhhea have been rising, with a cumulative total 2,279 cases, including 11 deaths, reported since January this year.
"I am here to mobilize, as much as possible, resources, and coordinate the effort of humanitarian assistance. Baidoa is where people who are most affected have arrived recently - close to half of them who are displaced by drought are here in Baidoa," said Mr. Abdishakur at the 'ADC' camp. "We call on the international community to double their efforts and support Somali people in this difficult time."
Mr. Abdelmoula, who also serves as UN Deputy Special Representative for Somalia and UN Resident Coordinator, noted that the world body and its partners can only do so much without more resources.
Limited funds, rising needs
The funding for this year's Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia, which seeks about $1.5 billion to assist 5.5 million of the most vulnerable Somalis, remains low at 15.7 per cent as of 20 May.
"With the limited resources that we have, we have only been able, between the months of January and April, to reach 2.4 million out of all those in need of humanitarian assistance," the Humanitarian Coordinator said.
The Special Envoy and the Humanitarian Coordinator intend to carry out more joint field visits in the near future.

MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Leaders from a Michigan state university made a surprise announcement Thursday night at an eighth-grade graduation ceremony.
All the graduates of the Timberland Charter Academy will receive free tuition to Grand Valley State University as long as they graduate high school with at least a 2.8 GPA.
The announcement was made to approximately 40 students at the end of the graduation ceremony.
The academy is the first school selected for the program in West Michigan.
Students knew a major announcement would be made, but they didn’t know what it might be.
“I kind of had a feeling it was something about college,” said student Aniyah Thomas.
Her mother, Gloria Hammond, said the news came as a relief for parents.
“It’s exciting for our children to have an opportunity to go to college if they want to go and not have to pay for it and that barrier has been broken for them,” Hammond said.
Valedictorian Jemarion Brown, who won many awards at the ceremony, was not expecting such a big announcement. His mother, Candace Cook, said the opportunity will help so many young lives.
“This is a great school for him, and I’m extremely happy that they choose Timberland to do this. It’s a blessing,” Brown said.
Stephen Evans, the school director, said the announcement includes additional funding to help with other college expenses.
“The program offers free tuition, tutoring, also a variety of support programs. You name it. Everything that a student will need to be successful at the college level and the system that we’re going to put in at the high school level, at Timberland, to support them through high school,” Evans said.
GVSU leaders say it may take a little time for the impact of the announcement to set in for the students.
Barry Hall, the assistant director of charter through college at GVSU, was the keynote speaker and announced the surprise.
“Once they have sophomores and juniors and they have colleges talking to them, say how much it costs to go here, that whole process of getting in, they’re going to say, ‘Wow, I’ve already been accepted into a school already, and I know what this process is all about,’” Hall said.
The money for the tuition comes through the Grand Valley Pledge program.
Parents are also eligible to apply for scholarships to help them with their degrees. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/graduation-surprise-entire-8th-grade-class-promised-free-college-tuition-in-michigan/ | 2022-06-03T14:42:32Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/graduation-surprise-entire-8th-grade-class-promised-free-college-tuition-in-michigan/ | true | 18 |
New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) In view of a surge in COVID-19 cases over the past week and in the weekly positivity rate, the Centre on Saturday advised five states to maintain a strict watch and take pre-emptive action, if needed, to control any emerging spread of the infection.
In a letter to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan highlighted that a few states were reporting a higher contribution to India's caseload, indicating the possibility of a localised spread of the infection.

"There is, therefore, a need to follow a risk assessment-based approach on the public health responses without losing the gains made so far in the fight against the pandemic," Bhushan said.
In the letter, he mentioned a sustained and significant decline in the number of COVID-19 cases has been observed in India over the past three months.
However, a slight upsurge in cases is being noticed, with 15,708 new infections being reported in a week ending on May 27, which rose to 21,055 cases in a week ending on June 3.
Also, there is a rise in the weekly positivity from 0.52 per cent in a week ending May 27, 2022 to 0.73 per cent in a week ending June 3.
States have been asked to refer to the directions issued in a letter by the ministry dated April 8, 2022 for strategic areas of intervention like relaxation in various activities, testing and surveillance, clinical management, vaccination, and community engagement with an increased focus on evidence-based decision making.
They have been advised to continue implementation and monitoring of necessary measures for prompt and effective management of COVID-19 and to ensure compliance with various advisories issued by the ministry.
The five-fold strategy of test-track-treat-vaccination and adherence to Covid-appropriate behaviour should be followed, along with monitoring of clusters of new COVID-19 cases and adequate testing as per guidelines, Bhushan said in the letter.
Focus should also be on monitoring of Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) and SARI cases in all health facilities on a regular basis for detecting early warning signals of the spread of infection and genomic sequencing for prescribed samples of international passengers, collection of samples from sentinel sites (identified health facilities), and local clusters of cases.
According to the letter, Tamil Nadu has reported an increase in weekly new cases from 335 in the week ending on May 27 to 659 in the week ending on June 3, accounting for 3.13 per cent of India's new cases in the week ending on June 3.
The state has also seen an increase in positivity in the last week from 0.4 per cent to 0.8 per cent.
While analyzing district-wide COVID-19 situations, it has been observed that two districts, Chennai and Chengalpattu, have recorded an increase in weekly cases and positivity, and it requires focused intervention from the state administration, the letter stated.
Kerala has reported an increase in weekly new cases from 4,139 new infections in the week ending on May 27 to 6,556 in the week ending on June 3, accounting for 31.14 per cent of India's new cases in the week ending on June 3.
The state saw an increase in positivity in the last week from 5.2 per cent to 7.8 per cent, Bhushan mentioned in the letter.
While analyzing district-wide COVID-19 situation, it was observed that 11 districts – Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam, Kozhikode, Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Alappuzha, Kollam, Kannur, Malappuram and Wayanad – have recorded an increase in weekly cases and positivity, he said.
It is a matter of concern that 11 out of 14 districts are reporting a rise in cases and positivity which require focused intervention from the state administration, he added.
Telangana, the letter highlighted, has reported an increase in weekly new cases from 287 new infections in the week ending on May 27 to 375 new infections in the week ending on June 3, accounting for 1.78 per cent of India's new cases in week ending on June 3. It has also seen an increase in the positivity in the last week from 0.4 per cent to 0.5 per cent.
Maharashtra has reported an increase in weekly new cases from 2,471 new infections in the week ending on May 27 to 4,883 in the week ending June 3, accounting for 23.19 per cent of India's new cases in week ending on June 3.
The state has also seen an increase in positivity in the last week from 1.5 per cent to 3.1 per cent, the letter stated.
It has been observed that six districts – Mumbai Suburban, Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Raigad and Palghar – have recorded an increase in weekly cases and positivity which require focused intervention from the administration, it added.
Karnataka has reported an increase in weekly new cases from 1,003 new infections in the week ending on May 27 to 1,446 in the week ending on June 3, accounting for 6.87 per cent of India's new cases in week ending on June 3.
It has also seen an increase in positivity in the last week from 0.8 per cent to 1.1 per cent, the letter said.
Bengaluru Urban has recorded an increase in weekly cases and positivity which requires focused intervention from the state, it stated.

Biden's Treasury Secretary Makes Major Inflation Admission: 'I Was Wrong'
In a rare admission of error from the Biden administration, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that she got it wrong on inflation.
As inflation began to rise last year, the stock response from the Biden White House was that it was transitory and nothing much to worry about. Inflation has hit 40-years highs this spring.
“I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” Yellen told CNN in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room,” responding to a question about her 2021 comment that inflation was a “small risk.”
But Yellen then steered into the more usual White House territory by saying inflation is the result of changes no one could have expected.
“As I mentioned, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I didn’t — at the time — didn’t fully understand, but we recognize that now,” she said.
A Treasury representative later gave CNN a statement elaborating on the point.
“The Secretary was pointing out that there have been shocks to the economy that have exacerbated inflationary pressures, which couldn’t have been foreseen 18 months ago, including Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine, multiple successive variants of COVID and lockdowns in China,” the representative said.
“As [Yellen] also noted, there has been historic growth and record job creation, and our goal is now to transition to steady and stable growth as inflation is brought down.”
On Tuesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre distanced President Joe Biden from any responsibility for inflation, according to Fox Business.
Biden’s policies “helped the economy get back on its feet. That’s what his policy has, his policies has done,” Jean-Pierre said in response to a question from Fox News corespondent Peter Doocy.
“When we talk about the gas prices right now, this is indeed Putin’s gas hike … We have seen about 60 percent increase in the past several months because of the amassing and his invasion of Ukraine.”
A report in Politico noted that Biden has blamed corporations and top executives for inflation, which has resulted in a climate of cold, distant relations with the financial sector.
“They said everything was going to be different under Biden and they would be more engaged with us, and they weren’t,” Politico quoted what it said was the CEO of one of the country’s largest banks, whose name was not used.
“Now they are going to get slaughtered in the midterms. And they deserve to get slaughtered because they haven’t really accomplished anything except maybe increasing inflation.”
Biden issued an Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal that praised his policies and took aim at Republicans and former President Donald Trump.
“I ran for president because I was tired of the so-called trickle-down economy. We now have a chance to build on a historic recovery with an economy that works for working families. The most important thing we can do now to transition from rapid recovery to stable, steady growth is to bring inflation down. That is why I have made tackling inflation my top economic priority,” Biden said.
Biden stated in the Op-Ed that low job creation numbers are part of his goals for the economy, saying “growth will look different.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tony Gonsolin is well known on the Los Angeles Dodgers for his love of cats, even taking the mound with fur on his cleats.
His pitching is what everyone is talking about this season.
Gonsolin tossed two-hit ball over six sharp innings and the Dodgers defeated the Mets 2-0 on Thursday night, snapping New York’s six-game winning streak in the opener of a four-game series between the National League’s top two teams.
“Just a little more nervous honestly going into it knowing they’re a good offense,” Gonsolin said.
The right-hander struck out five and walked one while relying on his fastball more in his first career start against the Mets. Gonsolin has allowed two runs or fewer in all 10 starts this year and lowered his ERA to 1.59.
“Wasn’t really throwing anything off speed for strikes, honestly. The fastball ultimately was the savior,” Gonsolin said. “It’s a good feeling that I can go out there without my best stuff and rely on the defense and let them make great plays like they always do.”
Gonsolin (6-0) didn’t give up a hit until the fourth — a single by Luis Guillorme after left fielder Chris Taylor’s snow-cone catch on Starling Marte’s line drive. Initially ruled no catch, the Dodgers successfully challenged the call.
Gonsolin is coming into his own in his fourth season with the Dodgers after being their minor league pitcher of the year in 2018 and finishing fourth in voting for the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year.
“I think he’s finally getting some of the recognition he deserves,” Taylor said.
Craig Kimbrel retired the side in the ninth to close out the Dodgers’ fourth shutout. He had allowed runs in his past three outings, but struck out slugger Pete Alonso swinging to earn his 11th save.
The high-powered Mets managed just one hit after Gonsolin exited — a single by Jeff McNeil in the seventh. Their only other hit was J.D. Davis’ two-out double in the fifth.
New York, which piled up 77 runs in its previous nine games, was the only major league team that hadn’t been blanked this season.
“We should give credit to ourselves for playing 50-plus, almost 60 games without being shut out,” Marte said. “But at the end of the day, you have to tip your cap to them for doing a good job.”
The Dodgers were coming off a three-game home sweep by Pittsburgh for the first time in 22 years. Although they still struggled to convert with runners in scoring position, the win moved them four games ahead of second-place San Diego in the NL West.
Trea Turner doubled into the left-field corner on Taijuan Walker’s first pitch of the sixth to extend his 25-game hitting streak, tops in the majors this year.
Walker (3-1) gave up two runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked one.
“I wanted to go six innings,” Walker said. “Try to get out there, try to go deep for the team, and at the end of the day I felt like I gave us a chance to win, and I guess that’s all you can ask for.”
The Mets’ run of 26 consecutive shutout innings ended in the fifth. Mookie Betts’ RBI single to left-center scored Taylor, who went 2 for 3 in addition to playing stellar defense.
Justin Turner chased Walker with a two-out RBI double to deep right over Marte in the sixth.
New York had thrown back-to-back shutouts in its previous two games against last-place Washington, capping a 6-0 homestand.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: SS Francisco Lindor sat out with a swollen right middle finger after he injured it closing a double door in his hotel room. He’s likely to be back in the lineup Friday.
Dodgers: OF Kevin Pillar went on the injured list with a left shoulder fracture. He left Wednesday’s game in the sixth inning. … LHP Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) will throw a rehab game likely Sunday at Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
UP NEXT
Mets: RHP Chris Bassitt (4-2, 3.66 ERA) has won three of four road starts with a 3.68 ERA.
Dodgers: LHP Tyler Anderson (6-0, 2.90) has tossed 20 scoreless innings since allowing two runs in the first against Arizona. He’s 1-0 with a 3.31 ERA in three career appearances against the Mets.

Held on school grounds, the attendees enjoyed a jubilee-themed social gathering with cakes and a cuppa.
The café saw an excellent turnout of people – including Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire Alastair Macphie – who praised the initiative.
The community café event was part of the school’s social enterprise and all aspects of the event have been carefully planned and set up by pupils themselves.
The aim of the social enterprise café is to allow members of the community the opportunity to come into the school and meet with friends in a welcoming and affordable environment.
The café also provides the pupils with valuable skills which will prepare them for the world of work.
This includes planning, advertising, communication skills, handling money, serving customers and baking.
Glenbervie Primary School has been running a successful community café as part of the school’s involvement with the Social Enterprise Academy since 2019.
Previous profits have been donated to Stoney Cares, which provides Christmas lunch for people in Stonehaven who might be on their own.
In more recent years, the profits have been put back into the community café pot to sustain the community’s social and well-being activity and reduce isolation in the village.
Commenting on the initiative, Headteacher, Jenny Glennie, said: “It’s been amazing to see the creativity of all the pupils involved in the community café.
"When Covid-19 hit, they simply adapted and came up with a new solution to bring their café to the community.
"Getting a flavour of what it’s like running a business at an early age makes them both driven and proud of their work.
“A fundamental component of education is encouraging young people to believe that they can make a difference in their communities and the Social Enterprise Schools programme helps bring that to life.
"The programme has enabled our whole school to reach its potential and the pupils are constantly learning valuable skills for life through their social enterprise.” | https://www.mearnsleader.co.uk/education/glenbervie-pupils-host-special-community-cafe-to-celebrate-jubilee-3719474 | 2022-06-03T14:47:10Z | https://www.mearnsleader.co.uk/education/glenbervie-pupils-host-special-community-cafe-to-celebrate-jubilee-3719474 | false | 1 |

Karim Benzema has lauded Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo after totting-up Ronaldo-like numbers for Real Madrid this season. Benzema scored 44 goals in 46 games for the Spanish giants as they eased to another La Liga crown and conquered all before them in Europe.
Benzema and his Real teammates had to do it the hard way when picking up another Champions League winner's medal; beating star-studded Paris Saint-Germain and three Premier League teams on their way to the big one. The 34-year-old netted a staggering 15 times in the marquee European competition.
Those figures would draw a 'thumbs-up' from one-time Real teammate Ronaldo. But how did the United frontman set Benzema on his way to such heights?

Having returned to the France set-up following a much-publicised hiatus, Benzema is arguably at the peak of his powers right now - despite turning 35 later this year - and has also been installed as a heavy favourite to claim his first ever Ballon d'Or when that glitzy awards ceremony rolls around.
Ronaldo knows a thing or two about that, too, having won five Ballon d'Ors in his memorable career.
Speaking to Onze Mondial about Ronaldo while on France duty, Benzema said: "When I watched him, I tried to understand everything he did; the goals, the shots, the passes and the ball-control. I dissected everything about Ronaldo. That's why I can say it's impossible to achieve the same."
On his Ballon d'Or prospects, Benzema said: "I'm having a great season, I think [he can win it]. I was present during many important matches, I managed differences. All this makes people recognise my performance and, then, I was consistent throughout the season."

A colour that really pops can add a whole lot of energy to a room. Intense colours fire off the synapses, add interest and visual variety in a way that really changes the way we feel in our environment.
But no one wants a super bright colour scheme that looks tacky, chaotic, heavy or overbearing. We need to feel good in our spaces when we're tired, energised or feeling a bit under the weather. A great colour scheme should both levitate the mind and warm the room. It can be tricky to find a balance that suits our daily needs.
So weather you're building a colour scheme from scratch or considering an ultra bright wall, ornament or piece of furniture, here are a few tips and a kaleidoscope of bright and beautiful rooms to get you inspired.
Begin by choosing your main base colour. Most people are drawn to a particular colour, but if you're worried that it is too strong, you can always work around that by using varying tones throughout the room.
Think about what mood you want to create in the room. A warm, golden colour scheme in a hallway or entrance area will make people feel welcome, a kitchen area with splashes of zesty oranges will give you verve in the morning and a bathroom bathed in cool aqua blues and greens will induce feelings of tranquillity. But you can also do something completely individual as long as you build on the base with some kind of harmonious, complementary or tonal rhythm. See how this living room has white as a great base for the hyper colourful scheme. The greens in the curtains, table, sofa and pillows are a secondary colour that create verve without overpowering the room.
The 60/30/10 rule is surprisingly easy to implement and a great way to navigate through the process of choosing your colour scheme. The 60% is your main colour that anchors your space. It's often the colour covering the walls and large pieces of furniture. In this beautiful room, the anchor colour is the beige tones of the floors, walls and main sofa.
The 30% colour uses about half as much colour space. This colour might occur in the curtains or a large rug. The idea is that this colour complements the main colour, but is different enough to set it apart. Here, the secondary colour is in the lovely greens of the painting, the wall and greenery outside the windows.
The final 10% of your colour is where you can really go to town. This is where you bring on the fun, intense colours and accents that dazzle like the yellow settee here. This colour can be chosen from a small detail in any of the other furnishings, like a pattern in the cushions or a detail in an artwork or vase.
By following this rule, there will be a harmony to your colour scheme.
If you really want to make a bold statement with your colour scheme, create some bold contrasts. Contrasting colours, also known as complementary colours, are those that are opposite on the colour wheel. Putting these two colours together will add a real zing to your colour scheme.
See here how the highly saturated red in this beautiful kitchen contrasts beautifully with the intense greenery of the garden scene outside. The green garden counterbalances the energy of the super bright kitchen while also offering a more calming energy.
This gorgeous fluorescent yellow bed by Catherine Lansfield Home would certainly get us to jump out of bed in the morning. But while the super intense yellow might be energising to some, others might find it a bit too much. There are general colour rules and schemes that most decorators agree on, but we're all individual and it can take time to really get a feel for how colours affect us.
So get some sample pots, paint your colours on separate pieces of paper, stick them up on the wall and leave them there for a few days. Move them around from room to room over several days until you've found the perfect combination that feels right.
Interior Designer John Saladino famously said, ’in choosing colour follow nature's lead’. That's because nature has done all the work for you. For colour inspiration, walk around your garden and see how the natural foliage has its own, perfectly balanced colour scheme. A strong base colour of earthy tones usually has a complementary colour for its foliage and strong accents in the florals.
Subtle colours can have a huge impact like the cool apple green of this floor. This colour really works to unify the room and bring the various pieces together. Consider repeating and building on the same colour variation through the furnishings and accents.
To finish up our colourful tour, we come to black, one of the most underestimated and powerful values at your disposal.
Black is mysterious, elegant, formal and it contrasts with every other colour around. But with the latest trend to make our homes brighter and lighter, it often gets overlooked.
Black needs to be carefully moderated because it just sucks up all the light in the room, but with careful use it can make a great base colour. Look at how designer Mauricio Arruda has used black sparingly to great effect in the border of this bedroom.

Biden Says He's Helpless to Bring Down Food and Gas Prices 'In the Near Term'
Blaming the war in Ukraine for sky-high gas and food prices for Americans, President Joe Biden on Wednesday admitted his inability to do much about either.
“There’s a lot going on right now but the idea we’re going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term. Nor is it with regard to food,” Biden said while speaking at the White House about the baby formula shortage, according to CNN.
In March, Biden ordered the release of 1 million barrels of oil a day from the nation’s strategic reserve, claiming his action would produce savings of “anything from 10 cents to 35 cents a gallon,” ABC News reported at the time.
Since then, gas prices have steadily risen. On Thursday, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline hit $4.715, according to AAA.
“We can’t take immediate action that I’m aware of yet to figure out how we’re bringing down the prices of gasoline back to $3 a gallon. And we can’t do that immediately with regard to food prices either,” Biden said.
On May 11, Biden announced actions to support farmers he said would reduce food prices, according to a White House transcript.
But on Wednesday, he pointed the finger elsewhere.
“We’re in a situation where, because of a war in Ukraine, gas prices and food prices are extremely high,” he said, according to CNN.
“For example, we got millions of tons of wheat that is not able to get out and get to market. It’s causing everything from a loaf of bread to cost so much money, to food shortages all across the world,” he said.
“And so we’re trying to work through a war. We’re trying to work through how we can get that harbor opened. And get the, you know, tens of thousands of tons of grain that are there.”
Biden & his administration are do nothing & non caring people.We have to vote them out of office.There is no other solution to save America. Trump made a huge difference Biden says there’s nothing he can do to bring down gas or food prices in the near term https://t.co/HUgPMrnHeb
— LadyConstance (@LadyConstance8) June 2, 2022
“The same with gasoline,” he went on. “We have the issue that is occurring now. You have Europe deciding they’re going to further curtail the purchase of Russian oil and there’s a whole lot of consideration going on about what can be done to maybe even purchase the oil even at a limited price so that it has to be sold, overwhelming need for the Russians to sell it, and it would be sold at a significantly lower price than the market is generating now.”
Biden said that his approach to helping Americans cope with high food and gasoline prices would focus on drug prices and child care.
“But we can compensate by providing for other necessary costs for families by bringing those down. That reduces the inflation for that family,” he said.
In an analysis piece for CNN, White House reporter Stephen Collinson wrote that the comments underscore a point critics are making about Biden and his trouble-plagued administration.
“Biden is bolstering perceptions that his crisis-submerged presidency is beleaguered and gave Republicans a vast opening Wednesday with several eye-opening statements about challenges weighing down his White House,” he wrote.
“Suggestions that Biden is a spectator as his own presidency loses momentum plays into GOP claims that he is out of his depth and has lost a step ahead of November’s elections, which could cost Democrats control of the Senate and the House,” Collinson wrote.
“One rapid response email from the Republican National Committee portrayed Biden as ‘bored and bungling’ — previewing likely attacks on the President by the GOP’s candidates as campaign season heats up.”

Kardashian fans think they know the REAL reason Kim stopped getting spray tans as she appears much more pale in new pics
KARDASHIAN fans now believe they know the real reason Kim has stopped getting spray tans as she now seems to be much more pale.
The Hulu star has been accused of blackfishing in the past.
It all kicked off when a fan took to Reddit to share two side-by-side photos of the 41-year-old.
One snap has Kim looking shockingly tanned alongside her boyfriend Pete Davidson while another shows the reality star rocking what seems to be her natural skin tone.
"Kim has finally realized she can't continue with the excessive spray tanning if she is going to be with Pete," the thread was titled.
Others followed suit as one responded: "Wow that's like night and day! I hope she embraces her natural skin color- she looks far more beautiful like this."
Another added: "I agree, she looks a million times better and more beautiful this way now.
"The dark brown/orange was not a good look, it was aging her actually."
"She looks better with her regular skin tone and when she has a natural tan..." a user said
However, one chimed in: "Didn't she try to get [Pete] to start spray tanning? Guess that route didn't work out so now she had to tone it down several notches."
Most read in TV
Back in May, fans noticed the Saturday Night Live alum, 28, was looking tanned while he attended the White House correspondents dinner with Kim.
SPRAY TAN DRAMA
ironically, fans also recalled the time the comic once slammed his ex Ariana Grande for her excessive use of spray tan.
Pete and Ariana had a fast-paced but short-lived relationship in 2018, and months later the singer graced the cover of Vogue, where she was criticized for looking overly spray-tanned.
Inside the magazine, she seemed to downplay her love with Pete, calling it a “distraction” as well as “frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic."
In response, the funnyman attacked his ex in a stand-up special.
“Can you imagine if I did that?” he joked, referencing Ariana's scathing comments.
“My career would be over tomorrow if I spray-painted myself brown and hopped on the cover of Vogue magazine and just started s**tting on my ex.”
KIM'S CHANGING LOOKS
Meanwhile, during Kim and Pete's relationship, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum has still been spotted sporting a spray tan on numerous occasions.
In March, Kim was seen on an outing with Pete, but her shocking look led fans to accuse her of blackfishing.
The star wore a light blue jacket, sunglasses at night, and a noticeably orange face while out and about.
"Everything about Kim is out of control," one fan exclaimed at the time, while another added: "Yeah… That is not a flattering look."
"She’s going to destroy some sheets and towels with that spray tan. The bra and undies she has on will never be the same," another added.
KIM HITS BACK
Kim has not remained quiet, however, amid the harsh accusations as she spoke out after being ripped for her look in a 2017 KKW beauty ad.
She said in a resurfaced KUWTK clip: "I did a photoshoot for the first launch of my KKW beauty contour sticks and we wanted them really moody. I was really tan. I wanted to show the contour.
"The photos ended up being a little bit darker than I was...
"There were some people online saying I was doing 'blackface' and that the photos were inappropriate."
She added: "... "The internet world is so toxic. And I feel like people are just waiting for you to make a mistake, just to point it out."

The Children Bowel Management Scoring Tool (PBMST) was created to help manage constipation in pediatric patients. The study was divided into two stages: questionnaire creation and bowel management score building. About two questionnaires were developed: one for children aged 8-18 years to self-report and one for children aged 4-8 years to be proxied by their parents. There were questions about physical symptoms (n = 6), emotional elements (n = 2), social activities/school (n = 1), and therapy (n = 1). Patients (or their parents) experiencing constipation answered the questionnaire. The Cohen weighted kappa coefficient () was used to calculate the repeatability of each question. A bowel management score was constructed using logistic regression analysis, examining the connections between the questions and their influence on self-reported quality of life (QoL). Questions that were reproducible and strongly related to QoL were included in the score.
About 385 patients completed the questionnaire. Around 6 items satisfied the inclusion criteria and were scored: stool shape (range, 0-3 points), anorectal discomfort (0-4 points), abdominal pain (0-3 points), frequency of fecal incontinence (0-3 points), caregiver help (0-3 points), and interference with social activities (0-3 points) (0-6 points). There were statistically significant differences in bowel management ratings among patients who reported no, little, some, or considerable influence on QoL (P<.001). The PBMST, which was recently created and validated, is a trustworthy measure for assessing bowel management techniques in children with constipation.

Patients with the most severe form of asthma produce special substances in their airways when taking medicine during an asthma attack that block the treatment from working, according to a study.
Reporting in the journal Science Translational Medicine, scientists say two different so-called growth factors—naturally occurring substances that stimulate cell proliferation—activate in the airways of severe asthma patients as they inhale corticosteroids used as an emergency treatment during an asthma attack.
The discovery was made as researchers investigated an enduring mystery in asthma treatment: Why do some patients who suffer the most from the disease often have the least success with conventional rescue treatments?
Of the more than 25 million people in the US with asthma, between 5% and 10% have severe asthma, according to the American Lung Association. The corticosteroids used to decrease swelling and irritation in the airways of people with moderate asthma often fail to work in those with severe asthma. Severe asthma patients experience more frequent bouts of breathing problems than others.
Researchers found inhaled steroids in severe asthma patients promote the secretion of growth factors—fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and granulocytic colony forming growth factor (G-CSF)—in airway lining cells known as the epithelium.
“We believe this response explains why patients with severe asthma are unresponsive to such conventional therapy,” says author Reynold Panettieri Jr., a professor of medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and vice chancellor of Clinical and Translational Science.
Researchers compared samples of bronchial airway epithelial cells (BAECs) that had been exposed to inhaled corticosteroids and were collected from three groups: those with severe asthma, those with moderate asthma, and healthy volunteers.
By conducting a genetic analysis to determine what genes had been turned “on” in the BAECs, the scientists were able to see that the FGF and G-CSF growth factors had been expressed only in the cells of the patients with severe asthma.
Growth factors are important for regulating a variety of cellular processes, Panettieri says. In the case of an asthma attack in patients with severe asthma, the growth factors identified in the cells that line the major connecting airways work directly against the action of the corticosteroids. Findings from the study suggest different cellular pathways are at work in the cells of patients with severe asthma, particularly those involved in inflammation.
Here’s how the researchers envision a new medicine may work: In a study in mice, scientists found if they blocked the cascade of chemicals that ultimately triggers the growth factors to be secreted, corticosteroids effectively reversed airway inflammation and even prevented scarring of tissue.
“Our study has uncovered a potential mechanism to explain why patients with severe asthma are unresponsive to conventional therapy,” Panettieri says. “If we could uncover new approaches to treatment that directly affect that mechanism, we may be able to restore a sensitivity to the steroid and improve outcomes.”
Additional researchers from Rutgers; Genentech, a member of the Roche Group; and Texas A&M University contributed to the work.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A former Mike Pence aide seeking to oust Indiana’s Republican secretary of state is embracing Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen while also fending off criticism about twice leaving jobs in that office after being written up for poor job performance.
Diego Morales’ work history has emerged as an issue in his campaign against Secretary of State Holli Sullivan. It’s largely happening outside public view as they seek support among roughly 1,800 delegates who will pick the nominee for Indiana’s chief elections officer at the June 18 state Republican convention.
Sullivan’s campaign sent text messages to delegates in recent weeks with links to documents critical of Morales’ job performance in 2009 and 2011. The messages close: “Our elections are too important to hand over to someone who is not ready for the job and has a troubled employment history in the exact office he is seeking to hold.”
The secretary of state oversees statewide policies for elections, which are run by county officials.
Morales, 43, dismisses the disciplinary actions as “office politics” and has worked to connect with delegates through frequent appearances at local Republican events.
Sullivan, 49, previously worked in auto plant management and was a state representative from Evansville for seven years before being appointed secretary of state by Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb in March 2021 when her predecessor retired.
Sullivan touts her work toward improving cybersecurity for county election offices and adding small printers to thousands of electronic touch-screen voting machines across the state to create a paper trail of each ballot cast.
Morales, meanwhile, has called the 2020 election a “scam” while pointing to unfounded claims Trump and his allies have made about other states. The former president hasn’t endorsed anyone in the race, but Morales is trying to attract Trump supporters.
He’s pushing voter restrictions that include cutting the state’s 28-day early voting period in half, requiring new voters to prove their U.S. citizenship when registering, and creating an “election task force” that would investigate “shenanigans.”
As for the disciplinary actions he faced as a junior staff member in the secretary of state’s office, he says he’s facing a “smear campaign.”
“That was disagreement in leadership, disagreements in opinions, probably office politics, office rivalry,” Morales, who immigrated to the U.S. from Guatemala as a teenager with his parents and sisters, said in an interview. “Obviously, the government bureaucracy at its best.”
The disciplinary actions were first reported by The Associated Press during Morales’ unsuccessful 2018 run for Congress.
Records obtained under Indiana’s public records act showed he was fired in 2009 after eight months in Republican Todd Rokita’s office due to “incomplete” work, “inefficient execution” and a “lack of focus. He refused to agree to a work improvement plan and submitted his resignation when he was fired, according to a termination letter.
Two years later, Morales left a different position in the office after refusing to sign a work improvement plan under then-Secretary of State Charlie White, a Republican who was himself removed from office in 2012 following a voter fraud conviction. Morales worked just over a month when he was disciplined for “poor execution” and failing to complete his work, records show.
Morales returned to state government as an aide on the governor’s staff when Pence took office in 2013 and remained until Pence left to become Trump’s vice president in 2017. Some top Pence governor’s office staffers have defended Morales’ work and support his candidacy.
Rokita, now state attorney general, wrote a message distributed by the Morales campaign saying, “As far as I’m concerned, Diego left my office on good terms, and I consider him a longtime friend.”
Sullivan, a former vice chair of the state Republican Party, said “qualifications and background” are important for the office and that the public documents do not show someone leaving on good terms.
“I think delegates deserve transparency and because it was a public office and he was a state employee, they have those public documents to review,” Sullivan said.
Other candidates seeking the Republican nomination are Knox County Clerk David Shelton and Paul Hager, a former Libertarian Party candidate from Bloomington. Sullivan and Morales each raised about $500,000 for their campaigns through the end of March, far ahead of the others.
Destiny Scott Wells, an attorney and Army Reserve intelligence officer, is the only Democrat seeking the nomination at the party’s June 18 convention. Libertarian candidate Jeff Maurer will also be on the November ballot.
Complicating Sullivan’s candidacy are her links to Holcomb, who despite his landslide reelection win in 2020 has faced conservative criticism over actions ranging from COVID-19 restrictions he imposed to his veto of a bill banning transgender females from girls school sports. Many conservative activists won convention delegate seats in the May primary, even though hard-right challengers to current Republican legislators largely failed.
The attention on Morales’ job history could sway delegates who aren’t already strong supporters of any candidate, said Steve Shine, who’s been the Republican chairman in Allen County, which includes Fort Wayne, for 29 years.
“That also has the possibility of backfiring and working against those who thought it would help because there are some people who are totally turned off by negativism in any race,” said Shine, who hasn’t endorsed any candidate. | https://www.klfy.com/politics/ex-pence-aide-seeks-indiana-elections-office-that-fired-him/ | 2022-06-03T15:00:50Z | https://www.klfy.com/politics/ex-pence-aide-seeks-indiana-elections-office-that-fired-him/ | false | 33 |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Girardi was fired by the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday after his team’s terrible start, becoming the first major league manager to lose his job this season.
Philadelphia said bench coach Rob Thomson will become interim manager for the rest of the season.
Expected to contend for an NL East title, the Phillies are 22-29 and 12 games behind the first-place New York Mets.
“It has been a frustrating season for us up until this point, as we feel that our club has not played up to its capabilities,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said in a statement. “While all of us share the responsibility for the shortcomings, I felt that a change was needed and that a new voice in the clubhouse would give us the best chance to turn things around. I believe we have a talented group that can get back on track, and I am confident that Rob, with his experience and familiarity with our club, is the right man to lead us going forward.”
Girardi’s first year with Philadelphia was the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The Phillies went 82-80 last year and he ends his tenure with a 132-141 record. Girardi managed the New York Yankees from 2008-17 and the Florida Marlins in 2006.
The Phillies have lost 12 of 17 games heading into the opener of Friday’s three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.
The Phillies have a $224 million payroll and boast 2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper and NL Cy Young Award runner-up Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto and free-agent sluggers Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber. Yet Philadelphia hasn’t made the playoffs since 2011, hasn’t won the World Series since 2008 and has watched fan interest plummet through a decade-plus of mediocre baseball.
Harper has been plagued most of the season with right forearm soreness and was forced to give up right field and play designated hitter. Second baseman Jean Segura is out for up to three months with a fractured right index finger. The Phillies are 12-15 at home and are 4-10 in one-run games. They are 3-7 over their last 10 games.
Girardi replaced Yankees manager Joe Torre after the 2007 season and spent a decade in pinstripes. Girardi led New York to its 27th World Series title, beating the Phillies in six games in 2009, and his 910 wins were sixth most in team history.
Girardi said last week the season was “frustrating” but he was not concerned about losing his job. Girardi, though, likely had to make the playoffs this season after the Phillies declined to pick up his option for 2023.
“I’ve never worried about my job. I don’t worry about my job. I’ve got to do my job,” Girardi said. “It’s the business of being a manager.”
Philadelphia’s struggles go well beyond Girardi. Gabe Kapler was fired after a 161-163 record in two seasons and then led the San Francisco Giants to a 107-55 record and the playoffs last season.
The Phillies also fired coaching assistant Bobby Meacham and promoted Mike Calitri to bench coach.
Thomson was Philadelphia’s bench coach and coordinated spring training for the last five seasons. He was hired before the 2018 season.
“I am ready to lead this team and look forward to getting to work and turning this around,” he said.
His first game is against an Angels team that has lost eight straight games overall and six straight on the road.
