KANSAS (KSNT) – Many cheese products are being recalled due to the potential of Listeria contamination on Thursday, according to the FDA.
Paris Brothers Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri has issued a voluntary limited recall of the following items:
- Cottonwood River Cheddar
- D’amir Brie Double Crème French Brie
- Milton Prairie Breeze White Cheddar Style
- Milton Tomato Garlic Cheddar
- Paris Brothers Mild Cheddar
- Paris Brothers Colby Jack
- Paris Brothers Pepper Jack
- Cervasi Pecorino Romano
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in those who are young, frail, elderly or have weakened immune systems. Symptoms in healthy individuals can include short-term issues like high-fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths for those who are pregnant.
These products have been sold to wholesalers for distributions in KS, MO, AR, IA, OK, NE, SD, one store in MS and one store in FL. The recalled cheeses were produced between May 4-6. Shipping cartons of the affected products will have lot codes of 05042022, 05052022 or 05062022.
The Listeria monocytogenes were found due to a routine sampling by the FDA. No illness has been reported yet. The Checkers in Lawrence sold the recalled cheese, as well as many other stores in Kansas. The list of grocery stores that sold the impacted products can be viewed by clicking here.
Consumers who have purchased the impacted cheese are encouraged to return it for a full refund. Questions can be directed to the company and ask for the FDA contact, Doug Schell, at 816-455-4188 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/health/cheeses-sold-in-several-states-recalled/ | 2022-06-03T17:42:18Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/health/cheeses-sold-in-several-states-recalled/ | true | 34 |
Washington, Jun 3 (AP) US employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure from high inflation and rising interest rates.
Last month's gain reflects a resilient job market that has so far shrugged off concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises interest rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate remained 3.6 per cent, just above a half-century low, the Labour Department said on Friday.

The job growth in May, though healthy, was the lowest monthly gain in a year. But it was high enough to keep the Fed on track to pursue what's likely to be the fastest series of rate hikes in more than 30 years. Stock market indexes fell Friday after the government released the jobs report, reflecting that concern.
Businesses in many industries remain desperate to hire because their customers have kept spending freely despite intensifying concerns about high inflation. Americans' finances have been buoyed by rising pay and an unusually large pile of savings that were accumulated during the pandemic, particularly by higher-income households.

“Given all the talk we've heard about recession and economic headwinds, it was very reassuring to see a solid jobs number,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo.
One encouraging sign, Vitner said, was that hiring was broad-based across most of the economy.
“When the economy loses momentum,” he said, hiring tends to occur in just a few sectors, "and that's not what we're seeing today.”
Nearly every large industry added workers in May. One major exception was retail, which shed nearly 61,000 positions. Some large retailers, including Walmart and Target, have reported disappointing sales and earnings. Last month, Walmart said it had over-hired and then reduced its head count through attrition.
Construction companies added 36,000 jobs, a hopeful sign for Americans who have bought new homes that aren't yet built because of labour and parts shortages. Shipping and warehousing companies, still struggling to keep up with growing online commerce, added 47,000 jobs. Restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues hired 84,000.
Last month, Friday's report showed, more Americans came off the sidelines of the workforce and found jobs, a sign that rising wages and plentiful opportunities are encouraging people to look for work. Still, the proportion of people who either have a job or are looking for one remains below pre-pandemic levels.
Rising prices might also have led some to take jobs: The number of people ages 55 or over who are working rose last month, suggesting that some older Americans are “unretiring” after leaving their jobs — or being laid off — during the pandemic and its aftermath.
Average hourly wages rose 10 cents in May to USD 31.95, the government said, a solid gain but not enough to keep up with inflation. Compared with 12 months earlier, hourly pay climbed 5.2 per cent, down from a 5.5 per cent year-over-year gain in April and the second straight drop.
Still, more moderate pay raises could ease inflationary pressures in the economy and help sustain growth.
Workers, in general, are enjoying nearly unprecedented bargaining power. The number of people who are quitting jobs, typically for better positions at higher pay, has been at or near a record high for six months. Layoffs are at their lowest level on records dating back 20 years.
Yet there are signs that some companies, facing rising costs for parts and labour, are starting to resist demands for higher pay.
One such executive is Jackie Bondanza, CEO of Hounds Town, a chain of doggie daycares with 30 locations in 14 states.
Bondanza said people are applying for jobs at the company's headquarters in Garden City, New York, who don't necessarily have relevant experience yet are demanding pay above the listed salary.
“People are coming in demanding 30 per cent more,” she said.
“We can't afford to overpay for somebody.”
Even so, Bondanza plans to keep hiring to support the company's expansion. Hounds Town, which expects to open 50 new franchised outlets in the next 18 months, is seeking to fill three jobs, including a training director and a marketing director. The company now has 17 employees at its corporate office, up from five a year ago.
Inflation, she said, has yet to discourage most customers from seeking the company's services, which include daily care for dogs and boarding.
“We are seeing more dogs in our facilities than some of our stores know what to do with," Bondanza said.
Tom Gimbel, chief executive of the LaSalle Network, a staffing firm in Chicago, said his client companies are still eager to hire and to offer solid pay to new employees. But they're also being choosier about job applicants as a result.
After making clear to companies in the aftermath of the pandemic that they would have to pay more, he said, his firm is now starting to warn job seekers that they may not secure the huge raises they're seeking, given the higher costs many companies are struggling with.
“We're now getting to a more normalised, healthy place,” Gimbel said.
A report Friday by Reuters said that Tesla's chief executive, Elon Musk, was considering laying off 10 per cent of the company's workers, causing its shares to tumble. Musk also expressed concern about the economy in an email to executives in which he said to “pause all hiring worldwide.”
By contrast, on Thursday Ford Motor Co. said it planned to add 6,200 jobs in three states over the next several years as part of its expansion of electric vehicle production.
Nationally, the strength of the nation's job market is contributing to inflationary pressures. With wages continuing to rise across the economy, companies are passing on at least some of their increased labor costs to their customers in the form of higher prices. The costs of food, gas, rent and other items – which fall disproportionately on lower-income households -- are accelerating at nearly the fastest pace in 40 years.
Inflation had begun surging last year as spiking demand for cars, furniture, electronic equipment and other physical goods collided with overwhelmed supply chains and parts shortages.
More recently, prices for such services as airline tickets, hotel rooms and restaurant meals have jumped as Americans have shifted more of their spending to those areas.
To try to cool spending and slow inflation, the Fed last month raised its short-term rate by a half-point, its biggest hike since 2000, to a range of 0.75 per cent to 1 per cent. Two additional half-point rate increases are expected this month and in July. And some Fed officials have suggested in recent speeches that if inflation doesn't show signs of slowing, they could implement yet another half-point increase in September.
The Fed's moves have already sharply elevated mortgage rates and contributed to drops in sales of new and existing homes. The rate hikes have also magnified borrowing costs for businesses, which may respond by reducing their investment in new buildings and equipment, slowing growth in the process. (AP)

For some Afghans who were evacuated as their country fell to the Taliban last summer, the journey to the United States has stalled, and perhaps ended, at a sun-baked cluster of tents and temporary housing on an American base in the Balkans.
While more than 78,000 Afghans have arrived in the U.S. for resettlement since August, the future for those who have been flagged for additional security vetting and diverted to Camp Bondsteel, in the small nation of Kosovo, remains up in the air. The U.S. won’t force the dozens there to return to Afghanistan, where they could face reprisals.
Their frustration is growing. Some Afghans at the base, which has been shrouded in secrecy, took the unusual step this week of staging a protest, holding up signs with messages such as “we want justice,” according to photos sent to The Associated Press.
“They just keep repeating the same things, that it takes time and we must be patient,” one of the Afghans, Muhammad Arif Sarwari, said in a text message from the base.
Their complaints open a window into an aspect of the evacuation and resettlement of Afghans that has gotten little attention because U.S. authorities, and the government of Kosovo, have been reluctant to say much about the people sent to Bondsteel.
The base houses a mix of adults and children, because some of the people who have so far failed to get a visa to the U.S. are traveling with family. Sarwari, a former senior intelligence official with the Afghan government, said there are about 45 people there, representing about 20 or so individual visa cases, after a flight to the U.S. left with 27 of the refugees on Wednesday.
The Biden administration won’t provide details, but acknowledges that some of the evacuees did not make it through what it calls a “a multi-layered, rigorous screening and vetting process” and won’t be permitted to enter the U.S.
“While the vast majority of Afghan evacuees have been cleared through this process, the small number of individuals who have been denied are examples of the system working exactly as it should,” said Sean Savett, a spokesman for the National Security Council.
In all, about 600 Afghans have passed through Bondsteel, according to the government of Kosovo, which initially authorized use of the base for evacuees for a year but recently agreed to extend that until August 2023.
Kosovo, which gained independence from Serbia in 2008 with U.S. support, has also provided little information about the Afghans at Bondsteel, citing the privacy of the refugees. Prime Minister Albin Kurti said in a statement that the government is proud of its role providing temporary shelter to them.
Afghans are housed in a section of Bondsteel called Camp Liya, named for an Afghan child handed to the U.S. Marines over a fence at the Hamid Karzai International Airport during the evacuation, according to a U.S. military publication.
It was the chaotic nature of that evacuation that led to the need for an overseas facility in the first place. As the Afghan government collapsed, thousands of people made it onto military transport planes with minimal screening before they arrived at one of several overseas transit points.
The people sent to Bondsteel were stopped and diverted for a host of reasons, including missing or flawed documents or security concerns that emerged during overseas vetting by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, officials have said.
At the same time, some in Congress have criticized the administration for what they say has been inadequate vetting of Afghan refugees.
Sarwari made it to Kuwait from Afghanistan in early September with his wife and two of his daughters and says he doesn’t know why he’s been held up. He was a prominent figure in Afghanistan, serving as the former director of intelligence after the U.S. invasion in 2001. Before that, he was a top official with the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance.
Both positions would make him a target of the Taliban if he were to return.
“The vetting team keeps telling us sorry, Washington is just deciding some political issues,” he said.
Sarwari has applied for a special immigrant visa, which is issued to people who worked for the U.S. government or its allies during the war. He has not received a response, according to his lawyer, Julie Sirrs.
“In theory, he is free to leave but it’s not clear where he could go,” Sirrs said. “He obviously cannot return to Afghanistan. He’s clearly in danger if he returns.”
He and others live a circumscribed existence on Bondsteel. Although technically not detained, they cannot leave the arid, rocky base and have spent months in tents, which were adorned with handwritten signs during this week’s protest. One said “unfair decision,” while another said “children are suffering.”
The Biden administration says authorities have determined that some - it won’t say how many - simply cannot be allowed to enter the U.S. It is working to find other countries that don’t harbor the same security concerns and are willing to accept them for resettlement. No one will be forcibly returned to Afghanistan, the NSC spokesperson said.

April jobs breakdown: Which industries saw the biggest payroll gain last month?
Job gains in May 'healthier than expected,' with bars, restaurants leading the way in hiring
U.S. job growth continued at a brisk pace in May, buoyed by hiring at restaurants and bars despite concerns about a looming slowdown and record-high inflation.
Employers added 390,000 jobs in May, the Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report released Friday, beating the 328,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, held steady at 3.6%, the lowest level since February 2020.
HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE MISSED THE MARK ON SURGING INFLATION
"This does not look like a labor market about to tip into recession," said Daniel Zhao, senior economist at jobs review website Glassdoor. "Job gains were healthier than expected and the labor force participation rate ticked up. Despite concerns about a slowdown and even a recession, the labor market’s fundamentals look healthy."
Leisure and hospitality, one of the hardest-hit sectors during the pandemic that has become a bellwether of sorts for the economic recovery, saw a gain of 84,000 new jobs last month. Restaurants and bars saw an increase of 46,100, while hotels added 21,400 jobs last month. In all, employment in the sector is down by about 1.3 million, or 7.9%, compared with February 2020.
"Notable job gains occurred in leisure and hospitality, in professional and business services, and in transportation and warehousing. Employment in retail trade declined," the Labor Department said in the report.
Professional and business services accounted for the second-largest job growth in May, with payrolls climbing by 75,000. The increases were widespread across the industry. Computer systems design and related services rose by 13,100, accounting and bookkeeping services jumped by 15,600 and management and technical consulting services was up by 6,800. Employment in the industry is actually 821,000 jobs higher than it was in February 2020.
Transportation and warehousing also saw a hiring boom last month, onboarding 47,000 new employees. There was a big jump in hiring of heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers, with that sector adding 13,300 new workers last month. Air transportation also climbed, with 5,700 new employees.
"Hiring across the economy remains robust and labor is benefiting from solid wage gains which will continue to bolster spending and likely avoid a recession in the near term," said RSM chief economist Joe Brusuelas. "However, one can clearly observe a residual slowing in hiring across most rate sensitive sectors."
The government also onboarded many new employees last month, with payrolls climbing by about 57,000. The bulk of those stemmed from increases in state government education (36,300) and local government education (14,400).
Another source of job creation in May was the health care and social assistance sector, up 42,100. Hospitals hired 16,300 new employees, while individual and family services saw payrolls grow by 13,000. Ambulatory health care services, including the offices of physicians, dentists and other health care practitioners, was up 6,400.

Employment in other industries, including construction (36,000), manufacturing (18,000), wholesale trade (14,100) and financial activities (8,000), also climbed last month.
Just one sector saw a decline last month: Retail, which plunged by 60,700. The drop was most pronounced in general merchandise stores, with employment falling by 32,700. | https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/april-jobs-breakdown-which-industries-saw-the-biggest-payroll-gain-last-month | 2022-06-03T17:56:25Z | https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/april-jobs-breakdown-which-industries-saw-the-biggest-payroll-gain-last-month | true | 2 |

KOCHI: The HC’s recent verdict that reunited lesbian couple Adhila Nazrin and Fathima Noora was revolutionary. The couple, however, went through physical and mental trauma before they got justice .TNIE speaks to members of the LGBTQ+ community about the issues they face in the battle for dignity
Trashing taboos, the Kerala High Court recently passed a landmark verdict reuniting lesbian couple Adhila Nazrin and Fathima Noora. The couple was forcefully separated by their parents, and the court intervened after 22-year-old Adhila, a resident of Aluva, filed a habeas corpus petition for the ‘release’ of her partner Fathima, a 23-year-old Kozhikode native. Adhila and Fathima had been in a relationship since their school days in Saudi Arabia. They came out in May. Facing resistance from their parents, the couple eloped and sought shelter at a Kozhikode-based NGO, Vanaja Collective, which works for the welfare of marginalised communities.
The families tracked and convinced them to return home, promising to accept their relationship. But, they were subjected to emotional and physical torture. Following a struggle with her parents, the police intervened and Adhila was shifted to a shelter home. The couple’s only solace was Dhanya, a common friend from the LGBTQ+ community and a member of the Vanaja Collective. This is not a lone case in which people in love had to go through trauma due to their gender identity and sexual orientation.Though homosexuality and queer identities have gained acceptance in society at the surface level, within the boundaries of family and home, the prejudice is often appalling.
Priyesh Anu, a resident of Killiyoor in Neyyattinkara, realised his sexuality at the age of 23.
“I was confused, but I was sure that something was different in me. In 2015, I came out to my friends that I was a gay. As expected, my friends trivialised it, saying it was just a false notion that I was having. Later, however, they accepted my identity,” recalls Priyesh.
Things were not that ‘cool’ when he came out to his mother and sister. “My mother refused to accept initially. My sister cut off contact with me. She said that I had mental issues and even referred me to a psychiatrist. Though my mother accepted the reality, she is scared of what society would say,” he says.
Priyesh told his mother about his relationship with Ajith A, his partner. Since then, she has kept silent. “I am waiting for my mother to accept my relationship. I wish she would, soon,” says Priyesh.
It is a long fight, he adds. “I wish homosexual marriage is legalised in our country. We also want to live with the same rights, dignity enjoyed by the heterosexual people,” Priyesh asserts. Familial wrath is just one hurdle, says Sheetal (name changed), a lesbian based in Kochi. “Queer people face many issues. When I confided in my parents last year, they did not take me seriously. I went through excruciating emotional stress, which triggered health problems. Then, my parents realised I was serious, indeed. However, I was shamed by friends and relatives.”
There are supportive parents, too. Like Sreeja P P, a social worker based in Kozhikode, who supports her daughter’s Navya same-sex relationship with Ponnu. “My daughter had made me aware of the LGBTQ+ community by showing their videos. Though she didn’t share about the same-sex love initially, I was aware of her feelings,” says Sreeja, adding that Ponnu was known to the family.
“Though it was not acceptable to me at first, I eventually agreed, as I wanted my daughter’s happiness. Now, Ponnu occasionally stays at our place and Navya also goes to her’s.” Sreeja says the high court ruling is “a huge relief”, and believes it will help change the mindset of the people who are yet to accept her daughter’s sexual orientation. “More laws supporting the rights of queer people should be made so that they can also lead normal lives in society,” adds Sreeja.
Ponnu believes she and her partner “are more privileged”, as they received parental support. “There are many who were disowned by their parents, their education was stopped,” she notes. As the ‘pride month’ is on, Ponnu says she has been receiving support as well as “hate” from society, especially social media. Talking of “hate”, she recalls being harassed for organising a gender sensitisation workshop at a college, along with Navya. “After the workshop, many people accused us of promoting homosexuality,” she says. “We just want to be treated as normal human beings.”
What LGBTQ+ activists say
Prijith P K, former president of Queerythm, an NGO based in Thiruvananthapuram, says the high court intervention is not something new. “Such cases often end up in courts, which usually reunite the queer couples. It is unfortunate that such couples have to approach the court to live with their partners,” he points out. “There should be a legislation ensuring dignity for queer lovers. Even under the Special Marriage Act, only heterosexual people can marry. This needs to be changed.”
Prijith adds that families cannot be blamed, as they are driven by society’s norms. “Hence, unless society accepts queer people, the families would find it hard to accept them. As rights activists, we often get ridiculed and rebuked by people.”
Sahayathrika is another organisation based in Thrissur that has been offering support to lesbian, bisexual and transwomen across Kerala for the past 20 years. “In 2002, during a study, it was found that many lesbians ended up attempting suicide,” says Sahayathrika coordinator Ahana Mekhal. “We started creating awareness and got many SOS calls. Hence, we set up an organisation.”
Ahana says there has been little change in society’s attitude over the past two decades. “Especially, when it comes to lesbians, there is no support at all. On an average, we get three cases related to lesbians a day,” she says. “Some families have filed habeas corpus against us, alleging that we kidnapped their children. Most cases are solved in courts.”
Help, a call away
Queerala is a Kochi- based organisation working for LGBTIQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) people. Started as a Facebook page, the aim was for a society free of discrimination against gender-nonconforming individuals and sexual minorities. The organisation also aims at supporting queer individuals in coming out and being comfortable about themselves.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A 32-year-old man accused of double-murder at Vazhayila in 2011 was bludgeoned to death by two men at a hotel room at Enikkara within Aruvikkara police station limits on Wednesday night. Vishnuroop aka Manichan of Vazhayila was murdered allegedly by Deepak Lal and his friend Arun G Raj. The duo had fled the place after committing the crime and were later arrested by the cops.
Deepak, 33, and Arun, 32, are residents of Manikandeswaram and they had previous enmity with Vishnuroop, police said. Aruvikkara SHO D Shibu Kumar said Vishnuroop had attacked Arun six months back and since then he was harbouring a grudge against Vishnuroop. The room was taken on rent by Vishnuroop’s friend, Harikumar, on Monday. On Wednesday, Arun and Deepak joined Vishnuroop and Harikumar for drinks. During the binge, the two had picked up a quarrel with Vishnuroop and attacked him with a hammer that they had kept.
Sources said the fight broke out over a song that Vishnuroop sang under the influence of alcohol. The song apparently irked the duo, who already bore grudge towards Vishnuroop, and they attacked him viciously. Harikumar too sustained injuries. As per the police, the crime occurred by 9.15pm and Vishnuroop’s face and head got crushed in the attack.
Though he was rushed to the Medical College hospital, he breathed his last by midnight. Vishnuroop rose to notoriety after the infamous double murder that rocked the city in 2011. Two gangsters, Kokkode Shyam and Praveen, were hacked to death by a gang comprising Vishnuroop on petty issues.

Kyle Coetzer on Friday announced that he would be stepping down as Scotland captain after his team's World Cup Super League Division Two game against UAE. Coetzer captained Scotland in 110 out of his 214 matches. He made their first-ever century in the ODI World Cup - 156 against Bangladesh in 2015 - and in 2021, he led them past qualifying and into the main round of the T20 World Cup.

"It's been an absolute pleasure to lead this group through various stages in our growth and development and captain my country and I will look back on the time with such fondness. I'm extremely proud of where we have got to and I'm even more excited with where this team can go to under its next leader," said Coetzer as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
"It's been fantastic to see how the players are managing themselves on the field recently and to effectively have more than one leader out there has been a really positive and encouraging sign for me. It was this that made me feel it was the right time to share my decision and step down," he added.
Promoted
Coetzer's successor will be appointed before the team's next series in July, against Namibia and Nepal. The coaches, led by Shane Burger, will decide on who takes up the role in consultation with senior players and the board's interim Head of Performance, Toby Bailey. | https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/kyle-coetzer-steps-down-as-scotland-captain-3036789 | 2022-06-03T18:08:11Z | https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/kyle-coetzer-steps-down-as-scotland-captain-3036789 | true | 2 |
LONDON, UK — Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, joined other members of Britain’s royal family on Friday for a church service honoring Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne, making their first public appearance in the U.K. since stepping back from royal duties two years ago.
The queen skipped the event at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, which came on the second of four days of festivities marking her Platinum Jubilee. The 96-year-old monarch has had difficulty moving around in recent months and experienced “some discomfort” after smiling and waving to throngs of supporters from the balcony of Buckingham Palace on Thursday afternoon.
But royal watchers quickly shifted their focus to Harry and Meghan, who held hands as they walked down the long central aisle accompanied only by a military officer in a scarlet dress tunic. Other guests craned their necks to watch the couple take their places in the second row, underscoring their lesser roles as non-working members of the royal family.
Prince Charles, who represented the queen, and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, had special chairs in the front row on the other side of the central aisle. Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge were seated next to them.
Harry and Meghan sparked tensions within the royal family when they moved to California and signed lucrative media contracts. The rift deepened after they made allegations of racism and bullying in the royal household. But they flew back to Britain for the jubilee celebrations, bringing their son, Archie, and daughter, Lilibet, who had never met her great grandmother the queen.
“This is, again, Elizabeth II trying to put on a united front, bringing her family together one last time, probably, during her reign, so that ... handing over to the next monarch, she can be seen to have done at least publicly her best to try and unite the divisions that have opened up within the family group over the last couple of years,” Ed Owens, author of “The Family Firm: Monarchy Mass Media and the British Public 1932-53'' said in an interview before the jubilee.
The service of thanksgiving took place a day after the celebrations opened with the glittering military parade known as Trooping the Color, an event that has marked the sovereign’s official birthday for some 260 years.
Following the event, tens of thousands of royal supporters cheered wildly as Elizabeth joined other senior royals on the palace balcony and 70 military aircraft roared overhead in salute.
The queen doggedly appeared later in the evening outside her home at Windsor Castle for the final moments of an international beacon lighting ceremony. Moving slowly and with some difficulty she pressed an illuminated globe that sent a river of lights flooding toward Buckingham Palace, where a sculpture of living trees was lit up.
Though the palace said she had enjoyed the festivities, the queen apparently decided that another trip from Windsor back into London on Friday might be a bit much. Prince Charles again stood in for his mother at the church service, as he has often done of late.
But the queen was still part of the service as participants assumed she was watching on television.
Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell spoke directly to her in his sermon, playfully riffing on her love of horse racing.
“I’m afraid I don’t have any great tips for the Derby tomorrow, but since the scriptures describe life as a race set before us, let me observe that your long reign reflects the distance of Aintree rather than the sprints of Epsom …,’’ he joked. “But with endurance, through times of change and challenge, joy and sorrow, you continue to offer yourself in the service of our country and the commonwealth."
“Your Majesty, we’re sorry you’re not with us this morning, but we are so glad you are still in the saddle,'' he added. “And we are all glad that there is still more to come.’’ | https://www.fox61.com/article/news/nation-world/queen-elizabeth-ii-skips-platinum-jubilee-church-service-prince-harry-meghan-markle/507-9d5f8f06-cc40-4e8c-a005-7fbfa0a92b8b | 2022-06-03T18:09:53Z | https://www.fox61.com/article/news/nation-world/queen-elizabeth-ii-skips-platinum-jubilee-church-service-prince-harry-meghan-markle/507-9d5f8f06-cc40-4e8c-a005-7fbfa0a92b8b | true | 30 |

Meredith Vieira And Joy Behar Confirm What We Suspected About Star Jones' Weight Loss Controversy
Throughout her time on "The View," Star Jones was no stranger to feuding with her co-hosts — even after she left the show. However, unlike conservative panelists Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Meghan McCain, most of the drama didn't come in the form of political screaming matches. Instead, Jones' personal life was on full display, from her weight struggles to her marriage to Al Reynolds. She even asked her co-hosts to go along with a claim about her weight loss that wasn't entirely true, putting them in an uncomfortable position.
"We reported to be honest women and we stopped being honest with each other," said Meredith Vieira (via People). Joy Behar, the only original "View" co-host still on the show today, said, "We were told, 'Well you have to be an actress,' and it's like, 'We don't get paid to be an actress.' We were uncomfortable with that."
Thanks to a reunion of the original panel for "The View"'s 25th anniversary, Jones and her former co-hosts have finally come clean and respectfully talked out their differences ... a rare occasion on "The View." Nature is healing! Even though they've patched things up, let's see what had "The View" OGs at odds.
Star Jones tried to hide her gastric bypass
After being unhappy with her weight throughout the first few seasons of "The View," Star Jones underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2003. She chose not to talk about it on the show, claiming she had a "medical intervention" and crediting her weight loss to diet and exercise. Her co-hosts Meredith Vieira and Joy Behar felt pressure to go along with the story, even though it was a lie. "She was in tremendous denial and we had to pretend it was something other than what it was," said Behar on the reunion episode (via People).
While this is the first time they've have publicly spoken about the truth to Jones' face, it was previously a topic of discussion in the 2019 tell-all book, "Ladies Who Punch." In the book (via ET), journalist Ramin Setoodeh wrote, "Behind the scenes, Barbara [Walters], Joy, and Meredith resented her for making them act as if she'd lost the weight on her own, which was forcing them to lie."
Jones was also interviewed for the book, saying, "I always felt it was our obligation to protect each other. And I don't think they did the same for me." But as of the reunion, she's had a change of heart (via People). "I regret that I was not strong enough to admit that I was in a depression and really ill about my health. I really regret that I just wasn't there." On the bright side, Jones says she's happier and healthier than ever today. | https://www.nickiswift.com/884023/meredith-vieira-and-joy-behar-confirm-what-we-suspected-about-star-jones-weight-loss-controversy/ | 2022-06-03T18:13:52Z | https://www.nickiswift.com/884023/meredith-vieira-and-joy-behar-confirm-what-we-suspected-about-star-jones-weight-loss-controversy/ | false | 1 |
KIBBUTZ GINEGAR, Israel (JTA) – As the song “Golden Youth” by kibbutz folk band Gevatron played in an outdoor alcove beneath this farm village’s community center on Wednesday afternoon, choreographer Tamar Danin, 15, gently instructed her charges — a dozen girls, ages 9-13 — on the stretches and tambourine tapping they will be doing at a performance Saturday evening to open the Shavuot holiday.
The dance will be one of eight presented by various age groups, including parents with their babies, at a cultural event expected to draw 500 people.
The audience will sit outdoors and gaze south across the expansive Jezreel Valley, dubbed The Breadbasket of Israel for its many kibbutz and moshav communities, including some of the country’s oldest. Ginegar, which relocated to this fertile region 100 years ago, produces grapefruits, mandarin oranges, olives, cotton, corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, tomatoes, watermelons and avocados.
Shavuot, a Biblical festival celebrating the first fruits and grains of the spring harvest, is the most widely celebrated holiday at Israel’s communal farms, the vast majority of them not religiously oriented.
Communal Shavuot celebrations on a kibbutz generally feature dance performances and parades of residents representing each of the community’s departments. Children and adults carry wicker baskets recreating the biblical harvest offerings.
On Shavuot, “the kibbutz identity, especially Jewish identity, is strengthened,” said Ayelet Glass, the society and community department director at the Kibbutz Movement and a resident of Kibbutz Palmahim along the Mediterranean Sea.
The holiday resonates deeply despite the economic and social crises that rocked the kibbutz movement in the 1980s and ’90s and prompted radical shifts as privatization. A movement based on collective principles began allowing people to keep their outside income; closed communal dining rooms, child-rearing and foreign-volunteer programs; and welcomed outsiders to build homes on the grounds without becoming members.
Approximately 190,000 people – just 63,000 of them kibbutz members – now reside in the 248 agricultural villages, said Roi Shabtai, a spokesman for the Kibbutz Movement, which represents 230 of the communities.
Kibbutz residents say that Shavuot celebrations endure by evoking simpler times and appealing to people seeking communal ties in an era of increased individualism.

Elsewhere in Israel, observant families connect with the holiday’s celebration of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai by learning religious texts throughout the night. Traditional and even secular families gather for dairy meals featuring lasagna, cheese blintzes and cheesecake, in a nod to ancient Israelites’ abstaining from meat after receiving the Torah.
Danin, the choreographer, said her friends visit here every Shavuot out of a desire to witness a spectacle absent from their cities and towns.
“They think it’s only a holiday of dairy and cheese,“ she said. “They’re looking for something different to do.”
While Ginegar’s hour-long event remains fairly consistent from year to year, new elements keep it fresh. This Shavuot will feature a concert stage and a plaza lined with kiosks selling homemade foods, fresh juice and snacks. The street fair set-up aims to encourage socializing amongst veteran residents, nonmember residents and visitors from the region and beyond. Light aircraft normally used for fumigating fields will be used for skywriting and aerial stunts.
Several of the additions were introduced by Shimrit Gershon, Ginegar’s cultural coordinator. Gershon moved here with her husband and children 13 years ago and built a home in a new neighborhood dubbed The Expanse — a nickname also employed at other kibbutzes — where nonmembers live. Their homes tend to stand out from the kibbutz’s smaller, older buildings.
While some outsiders, including her neighbors, enjoy the pastoral setting but don’t partake in the communal — some say insular — life of the kibbutz, Gershon says she preferred investing in the community.
“I wanted to fit in, to belong. It’s good to feel connected to something, and it’s fun to meet people of different ages, types and characters,” she said.
Dancers at the afternoon rehearsal included Gershon’s 12-year-old daughter, Orr.
Of the Shavuot event, in which she also participated last year, Orr Gershon said, “I like the atmosphere, the people, the field” setting and the white costume with pink sash she’ll be wearing.
Nonmembers like Gershon offer hope for preserving kibbutzes as cohesive communities, if not socialist enclaves. So, too, do the young people raised on them who moved to urban areas following their army service but increasingly are drawn back to the nurturing surroundings to raise their families.
Both groups will be vital to replenish an aging population and to inject new energy.
Even newer terminology indicates a more welcoming attitude, such as the “members with economic autonomy” category for residents of The Expanse.
Maria Sela, 49, who immigrated from Sweden in 1993 and became a full-fledged member through her husband, Ginegar native Oded, estimated that fewer than 150 of the kibbutz’s 800 residents are members. Eighty percent of the 150, she said, are over age 70.
“The Expanse made a huge difference,” said Sela of the neighborhood’s 300 residents. Other kibbutz residents include college students and females performing community service in lieu of military conscription.
Some of the veteran kibbutzniks remain plenty vibrant.
Dan Eick had just finished an adults-only Shavuot rehearsal late Wednesday night comprising people from their 40s to 70s. The half-hour gathering took place at the kibbutz’s outdoor basketball court. That’s where the Shavuot gatherings were held until they outgrew the site in recent years and moved to the field.
Ginegar has seen communal celebrations come and go. Jerusalem Day events petered out, and Gershon expects commemorations of Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination to soon cease, too. Even Passover gatherings fell by the wayside, but they’ve come back, with this year’s Seder drawing 300 people.
Shavuot celebrations aren’t going anywhere, Eick believes. A retired accountant, he was born on Ginegar and has lived only here, but his three sons and eight grandchildren reside elsewhere. All will drive to the kibbutz for the holiday.
Eick, 75, expects his younger sons to do what they always do: playfully push their eldest brother, Ido, 49, to return home to live.
“They want him to replace us when our souls return to the Creator so as to preserve their connection to the kibbutz so they can continue to visit,” Eick said.
He considers a question about whether Ido is likely to comply.
“I won’t be here to certify it,” Eick said, “but I think so.”

Former Indian player Aakash Chopra wants Gujarat Titans (GT) to release Australia's keeper batter Matthew Wade ahead of next season. He stated that the southpaw couldn't make the most of his chances in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL 2022).
The Titans started with the Aussie cricketer ahead of Wriddhiman Saha. Wade failed to make any significant contributions with the bat and was eventually left out of the playing XI. The 34-year-old made a comeback in the last few games but his rough patch continued.
Aakash Chopra believes that it makes no sense to persist with a player who hasn't contributed to the team's success despite getting a lot of opportunities. He wants GT to part ways with the swashbuckler and rope in someone else next year.
Sharing his views on his YouTube channel, Chopra stated:
"Matthew Wade should be released. He was a part of Australia's T20 World Cup squad and has also won the IPL now, but he didn't do anything, despite getting so many chances. If he's not done anything, GT should part ways with him."
Story continues below ad
Wade, who returned to the cash-rich league after a long gap, accumulated only 157 runs in 10 outings at an average of 15.70 and a strike rate of below 115.
The cricketer-turned-commentator also pointed out that the likes of Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya and David Miller did the bulk of the scoring for the side. However, the Titans had to struggle with the No.3 batter. They tried a few options but the batters failed to cash in on the opportunity.
Aakash Chopra feels that the No.3 has been an area of concern for the champion side.
The 44-year-old said:
"They had Shubman Gill at the top, Hardik Pandya in the middle, and David Miller in the finisher's role. There were expectations from Gill and Pandya. Miller, on the other hand, had a fantastic season, which hasn't happened for a few years. But what apart from these guys? Saha came in quite late and they didn't have a set opener for several games."
Story continues below ad
Aakash Chopra further added:
"Their No.3 is a pain point as they weren't able to find the right candidate. Tewatia has done well in limited opportunities, but he does well while chasing and doesn't do the same while batting first."
It is worth mentioning that skipper Hardik Pandya was the top performer with the bat for them in IPL 2022. The right-hander amassed 487 runs from 15 games. Opener Shubman Gill also did a fine job, scoring 483 runs from 16 fixtures.
"I didn't expect David Miller to do so well" - Aakash Chopra on GT's finisher
Story continues below ad
GT's dynamic batter David Miller excelled as a finisher throughout the tournament. The southpaw, with his batting exploits, bailed his side out of trouble on several occasions.
Miller had a number of underwhelming stints in the IPL, but he turned things around this time around with his consistent performances.
Aakash Chopra added that he didn't expect the Proteas batter to score a lot of runs in the competition.
He stated:
"I didn't expect David Miller to do so well. There's been a lot of hype around him but he hadn't lived up to those expectations in recent years. He was struggling to score runs in the last few seasons. He's made changes to his batting and it has reaped dividends."
The 32-year-old mustered 481 runs from his 16 appearances in IPL 2022. He scored a fantastic average of 68.71 along with an impressive strike rate of 142.73. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-he-anything-aakash-chopra-wants-gujarat-titans-part-ways-matthew-wade | 2022-06-03T18:19:39Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/news-he-anything-aakash-chopra-wants-gujarat-titans-part-ways-matthew-wade | false | 1 |

Hourly to expand beyond California and scale its insurance operation nationwide
PALO ALTO, Calif. , June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hourly.io, a fast-growing workers' comp and payroll startup, today announced it has raised $27 million in Series A financing led by Glilot Capital Partners through its early growth fund, Glilot+. Additional backers include previous investors S Capital, MS&AD Ventures, J-Ventures and new to this round, Vintage Investment Partners and Upshot Ventures.
The Series A funding will help Hourly expand beyond the state of California, where it was founded. The company aims to scale its insurance platform nationwide.
Hourly's user-friendly platform fuses three complicated products—time and attendance, payroll, and workers' comp insurance—into one.
Traditionally, businesses use annual payroll estimates to calculate workers' comp premiums. But changes in staffing, workload, hours or pay often cause those estimates to vary significantly from reality. As a result, businesses overpay or underpay their workers' comp premiums, often by tens of thousands of dollars.
Co-founder and CEO Tom Sagi experienced those problems firsthand when he ran a small business himself. He partnered with Shay Litvak, a technologist with over 20 years of experience, to solve these problems and revolutionize the $50 billion workers' comp industry.
Lior Litwak, Managing Partner of Glilot+, Glilot Capital's early growth fund said: "Hourly.io is a game-changer for small businesses with a mobile workforce. The platform frees up thousands of hours spent on administrative work, eliminates surprise bills, and ultimately improves accountability. We are thrilled to join Hourly on its journey to completely revamp the workers' comp insurance sector."
Haim Sadger, a Founding Partner of S Capital who led Hourly's seed round in 2019 and is the second largest investor in the Series A, commented, "Hourly is a shining example of what can be done when talented people come together with a clear vision. That vision is to create a platform that lets any business owner manage all aspects of their hourly workforce in a matter of minutes using just a smartphone. They've built something really special, and the growth and positive feedback they're seeing from the market are testaments to that."
"Hourly completely eliminates uncertainty because payroll and workers' comp are connected. Now companies know exactly how much their coverage costs," said Sagi. "We're thrilled to expand Hourly out of California and give business owners across America a better way to pay their team, get a handle on their true labor costs, and better manage their workers' comp insurance."
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Hourly.io is an insurtech startup offering full-service payroll and workers' comp insurance for small and medium businesses with hourly workers. Powered by real-time data, Hourly's platform ensures running payroll is as quick as pressing a button and that you get accurate workers' comp premiums down to the penny.

Less than 48 hours after a gunman stormed an elementary school and killed 19 children and two teachers in his home state of Texas, Sen. John Cornyn walked straight from the floor of the U.S. Senate into Republican leader Mitch McConnell's office.Related video above: Biden urges gun actionThe Texas Republican had just returned to Washington from the scene of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde when he was summoned by McConnell to lead the GOP in fraught negotiations over a potential legislative response to the tragedy. Eager, if wary, he took the job."I'm not interested in making a political statement," Cornyn said at the time. "I'm actually interested in what we can do to make the terrible events that occurred in Uvalde less likely in the future."Cornyn is at the center of a bipartisan group of senators working furiously to try to strike a compromise over gun safety legislation, a political longshot despite the heartbreaking pleas from the Uvalde community to "do something" after the massacre.A four-term senator, Cornyn has been here plenty of times before, a central figure at the forefront of on-again, off-again talks with Democrats over gun policy changes that almost never make it into law. As gun owners and the powerful gun lobby wield influence, Congress has proven unable to substantively respond even as more gruesome mass shootings rip through communities all across America.With his previous negotiating partner, Sen. Chris Murphy-D-Conn., Cornyn convened a small group of four senators to meet privately this week, some who are part of a broader Murphy-led group in a desperate search for possible compromise gun safety measures.President Joe Biden implored Congress — and particularly the Republican senators, who have spent years blocking almost every gun control measure — to act."This time, it's time for the Senate to do something," Biden said in remarks from the White House.Biden, too, is looking at Cornyn to lead."I think there's a realization on the part of rational Republicans — and I think Senator McConnell is a rational Republican; I think Cornyn is as well — I think there's a recognition in their party that they — we can't continue like this," Biden said earlier in the week after visiting Texas.Expectations are low that even the most modest gun control measures could find support among Republicans in Congress, particularly in the evenly-split 50-50 Senate where at least 60 votes are needed to advance legislation past a filibuster.Senators aren't expected to even broach ideas for an assault weapon ban or other restrictions that are popular with the public as potential ways to curb the most lethal mass shootings.Instead, the bipartisan group is intensifying talks to reach a deal on incremental changes to the nation's gun laws, after a decade of mostly failed efforts ever since a gunman killed 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.At most, the senators may be able reach consensus in a few distinct areas — bolstering school security measures; adding more mental health resources in communities; and possibly sending money to the states to encourage red flag laws to keep firearms out of the hands of those who would do harm."That may be all they can do," said Matthew Bennett, a longtime gun policy advocate at the centrist Third Way think tank.It's been nearly 30 years since Congress approved sweeping gun safety legislation with the passage of the 1994 assault weapons ban, which has since expired. In 2013, Congress rejected proposals to expand background checks and ban some assault-style rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines.One of the only gun-related bills that has become law in the decade since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was Cornyn's fix-NICS bill — a modest effort he and Murphy developed to encourage states to comply with the recordkeeping of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.Cornyn first pushed the bill forward after another tragedy in his state, the 2017 church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, when the gunman's Air Force record of court-martial for domestic violence had not been sent for inclusion in the federal database used for gun purchases.The Fix-NICS bill stalled in the Senate, until months later when another gunman opened fire at a Parkland, Florida, high school killing 17 in a massacre on Valentine's Day in 2018."Let's do what we can and build from there," Cornyn said at the time.But by then, Democrats and some Republicans were circulating broader proposals and Donald Trump, who was president, suggested raising the legal age for purchasing firearms to 21. But efforts fizzled after Trump had an Oval Office meeting with the National Rifle Association.The Fix-NICS bill ultimately won approval in Congress not on its own, but after being included in a government funding measure later that spring.

Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., about Cornyn."If he really wants to get it done, he will potentially make a critical difference."Many Democrats are skeptical that Republicans in the Senate will come to the table. Already the Senate has hopelessly blocked two House-passed measures to bolster background checks for firearm purchases online or at gun shows.Instead, House Democrats are pushing ahead with their own package of gun safety measures, the "Protecting Our Kids Act," which includes raising the age limits on semi-automatic rifle purchases from 18 to 21 years old.

British Columbia’s opposition parties left the legislature Thursday saying Premier John Horgan’s New Democrats have lost touch with the realities facing the province and its people, while predicting the government’s electoral defeat over a museum replacement plan.
A four-month spring session, where health, affordability and the provincial museum project were dominant issues, concluded with tense exchanges in the legislature.
Opposition Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon said the NDP’s decision to proceed with the $789-million Royal B.C. Museum project will become the government’s “death warrant.”
“Mark my words, Friday, May 13, is the day the NDP really have signed their own death warrant as a political party,” Falcon said at a post-session news conference at his legislature office.
May 13 is the day Horgan announced the government’s plan to tear down and rebuild the museum, which has since become a matter of daily attacks by the Liberals, who call the plan the premier’s “vanity legacy project.”
“If they go ahead with that, this will be their fast ferries and this will bring their government down,” said Falcon, referring to the former NDP government’s fast-ferries shipbuilding program in the late 1990s that had cost overruns and delays, and even when they were completed, the ships turned out to be unsuitable for the trip between the mainland and Vancouver Island.
Falcon was elected leader last February and took a seat in the legislature this month after winning a byelection in Vancouver-Quilchena.
The next provincial election is scheduled to be held in the fall of 2024.
Green Leader Sonia Furstenau said Horgan and the government have failed to see what residents are facing in the province.
She accused the premier and government during question period of doing more talking than working on preventive measures since last year’s disastrous, fires, floods and slides.
“We sure hear a lot from this government about committed to something in the future. But we don’t hear a lot about the outcomes,” she said.
Lytton was mostly destroyed by fire, farms were flooded, crops destroyed, many people can’t afford housing and there’s a shortage of family doctors in B.C., but the government still congratulates itself on its efforts to help people, said Furstenau.
“They are out of touch with the realities British Columbians are experiencing,” she said. “This government has made gaslighting its organizing principle for communications. What people need from this government is to recognize the reality that they are experiencing.”
Furstenau asked if Horgan can “be honest about the state of affairs in this province.”
NDP house leader Mike Farnworth accused Furstenau of attacking Horgan’s integrity.
Horgan was not in the legislature.
“I think questioning the integrity of any member of this house, particularly the premier, through a rambling statement, without a question attached to it, quite frankly, I find offensive,” said Farnworth.
He said on issues of health, education, transportation or any other, “this government is working every single day to improve the lives of British Columbians.”
The government passed almost two dozen new bills, including legislation that will lead to a cooling-off period for homebuyers navigating the province’s high-pressure real estate environment.
Farnworth said outside the legislature the government passed a people- and family-focused budget that offers supports through challenging times.
“I’m confident our government’s doing everything we can to deal with the issues that matter to most British Columbians,” he said.
The session also saw the legislature return to its pre-COVID-19 operations of face-to-face interactions after two years of virtual news conferences and hybrid sittings.
Horgan was a regular presence in the legislature after undergoing cancer treatment late last year, but he missed some time this spring after contracting COVID-19.
The session also saw Horgan use an expletive in a heated exchange with the Opposition Liberals, although he later apologized for his use of the F-word.

How do you prove your passion for interior decor? How do you show the love that you have for a concept and the continuous effort you put in to follow it through in style, form and design -just to satisfy your senses?
Sometimes simply assembling a set of objects or speaking the design language
does not truly convey the amount of effort, dedication and time you are willing to put in to create a unique and innovative space. How do we create that same emotional impact, both for ourselves and with others?
The trick is to search for a detail that stands out and describe it in the best possible way.
Today at homify, we've put together seven examples that will hopefully help you with this and give you even more inspiration!
The entrance hall or foyer is the first space you see when you enter a house and is the business card for anyone who comes to visit.
In this area, you can really begin to demonstrate your passion for design and decor, setting your home apart from others in the neighborhood.
To make the most of this space, you should combine the style of the furniture and the materials with a rationalization for the amount of space available. Arrange the elements well so that they satisfy both your sense of order and the harmony of design.
The whole house will benefit if people get a good first impression the moment they walk through the door!
Have a look at these 10 modern ideas for your entrance hall.
You can achieve a very fresh-looking interior design by making the most of the brightness of an environment. It's because of this that we often see a relationship between light and reflective colors. These colors can be used throughout an interior space, amplifying the light and bright look and feel.
While in some areas of the house, it's necessary to opt for strong and dominant pieces of furniture, in other parts of the house you can go for lighter and clearer furniture such as perspex chairs for your kitchen table.
Delicate and cool colors express a sense of serenity and relaxation, so use them in areas where you need to allow for a bit of breathing room in your interior design. The kitchen, again, is perfect example!
Usually we think that the choice of fabric in a house is not a very important detail, but this is not so. Your selection of curtains, carpets, upholstery and even the tapestry on the wall can dramatically contribute to how well-defined the character and style of your environment is.
What's more is that just like other decor elements in the house, these textiles enhance the style and decor of an interior. Choose them with care and create your dream home!
Your house should feature an area where you can store all of your knickknacks, small furniture, lamps and other decor elements. These can even be put on display!
Shelving is a definite must as it gives us an opportunity to reflect our personal style and shelves are a very functional tool for the home too – a winning choice. They also allow us to save precious floor space!
You can create shelves that work with the design of the room or work in contrast with it, introducing new textures and tones. Have a look these tips for bringing blank walls to life.
Artificial lighting plays a key role in the search for a place of pure, stylistic pleasure.
Not only can lighting become complementary furniture in your home in the form of chandeliers, floor lamps or spotlights, but it can also enhance the geometry of the house and accentuate the characteristics of the other furniture if installed carefully.
By overcoming the traditional view that lighting is purely functional, you can achieve very impressive effects and enhance your home dramatically. The whole environment will gain a sophisticated edge!
Don't you love how these design professionals, Studio Donizelli, have utilized lighting throughout this living area?
Sometimes the type of home that you live in does not allow for a real garden, either because there is not enough open space or because there is not enough light.
We have a solution that is a very modern and popular choice, especially for Canadians: create a winter garden. You can place it anywhere! It can go inside or outside, next to a balcony or in a breakfast nook – wherever you so wish. Your garden can consist of plants, flowers and shrubs, which even in a small space will create a beautiful form of natural decor.
You can even create a small little vegetable patch if you like!
Have a look at this ideabook on big style for small spaces.
In the rooms where you want to feel relaxed and comfortable, such as in the bathrooms or in the bedrooms, it is recommended that you go for a very simple look and feel.
What's great about a simplistic or minimalist style is that it can be implemented with any design. Having a passion for interior decor and beautiful pieces of furniture doesn't mean that you have to overwhelm every space with lots of it. You can convey your passion with a sense of proportion and harmony
Sometimes a simple design can also utilize very luxurious furniture, which is the key to good taste. | https://www.homify.ca/ideabooks/933609/7-ways-to-show-your-passion-for-interior-decor | 2022-06-03T18:25:32Z | https://www.homify.ca/ideabooks/933609/7-ways-to-show-your-passion-for-interior-decor | false | 1 |

Senior members at UGRacing spoke to The Glasgow Guardian about the aspirations for the team.
For many sports across the university, the season has drawn to a close: boots have been hung up, shirts washed and folded away and the celebrations have well and truly begun. However, for UGRacing, the University of Glasgow’s Formula Student (a UK student engineering competition that involves producing a small-style formula-style racing car) team, engines are still very much heating up as they prepare to present this year’s showpiece.
This summer will mark the end of creating combustion engine cars as the team continues to develop the design and manufacturing of an electric vehicle for competition. The petrol-powered car, which has been the main focus of the team, will be entered into the 2022 Formula Student Competition at Silverstone in June before UGRacing discards the combustion engine for an electrical and more sustainable alternative. For the team, the competition and having the opportunity to drive the vehicle after all the hard work and long hours act as a good motivator to battle through even the toughest of barriers and obstacles. Despite being designed pre-pandemic and built post, Head Engineer Callum Wilson commented: “We ended up producing a car that was definitely fast enough to win last year, and very, very nearly did, we just lacked the reliability.” With around 40% of the engineering team concentrating on the combustion vehicle, there is the confidence that their experience in constructing these combined with little improvements from previous years will allow them to boost last year’s performance and end on a high.
The second entry for the team this year is a driverless vehicle, provided by the event organisers and programmed in collaboration with the School of Computer Science and the School of Engineering. Alongside the development of the electrical vehicle, the driverless project is becoming a serious ambition for UGRacing with the hope of creating and engineering a driverless vehicle from scratch in the next three or four years.
Head of Electric Vehicle (EV) Development Marvin Menden highlighted UGRacing’s excitement around the development of these new vehicles and the challenges that have had to be overcome from adapting the working space and equipment to match high voltage safety regulations within the university to finding new manufacturing sponsors: “Things like that are completely new for us. We're kind of trying to get that sorted to build a base that's really solid for the next years so that we can get into that rhythm that we're in with the combustion cars with the electric ones as well.” For the team, it’s all about the progress and being adaptable by having the patience to resolve any issues and lay down a strong foundation that can be built upon.
From the outside, it may appear that UGRacing is a team reserved for car junkies and petrol heads but the Formula Student competition goes beyond computer designs, big engineering projects and racing cars on the track. In a series of static, off-track events, the Formula Student teams are also expected to justify their business decisions. Team Principal Fraser Cowie emphasised that only around two-thirds of the 150 members are technically orientated: “We’ve got accountants, lawyers, people studying humanities subjects, all working to support us in our operations. There are sub-teams, such as HR, marketing and we’ve got a partnerships team as well, because we source the majority of our funding from external partners, it’s not just university-funded. It’s a real team effort: all 150 people pulling their weight.”
Whilst this summer’s success and the development of the EV still remain in the balance, Fraser, Callum and Marvin all reflect on what UGRacing has achieved during their time at university and encourage more students to get involved. Everyone is welcome to join and everyone has a part to play in the project. Cowie said: “I think it’s an excellent experience for the world of work or anywhere where you go and work as a team. Being part of UGR gives you the experience of working with a diverse group of people because it’s not just a group of engineers. You learn how to react to almost every challenge you could face when working as a part of a team and you can apply that almost anywhere.”
UGRacing comes together, in much the same way as their cars – lots of different pieces melding as one to create an outstanding final result. The team is so much more than the sum of all its parts and it’s clear that there is real excitement around their successes so far and ambitious plans for the future.

At school pickup on May 24, Cassandra Ridder's 12-year-old son, Brody, wasn't his cheerful self.
“He just wanted to listen to music,” Ridder, 31, told TODAY Parents.
Trying to keep the mood light, Ridder asked Brody, a sixth grader in Westminster, Colorado, about his yearbook. Earlier that day, Ridder had received an email stating that students would be bringing yearbooks home. Did he get lots of signatures?
Brody’s eyes filled with tears.
“He said that he’d asked the kids in his class if they would sign his yearbook and some flat-out said no,” Ridder revealed. “A couple of his classmates jotted down their names — but there were no messages. There was nothing about how smart, funny and awesome he is.”
Brody handed his mom the yearbook so that she could take a look. What Ridder saw made her heart sink.
U.S. & World
“He’d written a note to himself. It read, ‘I hope you make some more friends,’ and he signed his own name,” Ridder shared.
Ridder said Brody, who loves chess, fencing and dinosaurs, sits alone at lunch and plays by himself at recess. She said Brody’s peers don’t really understand his interests.
“He’s super intellectual and the kids in his age group have trouble relating to him,” Ridder explained. She said they also tease Brody because “his ears stick out” and he’s "extremely thin.”
“He cries to me pretty much every day,” Ridder said.
On May 24, Ridder reached her breaking point. That evening, she posted on the school’s Facebook page for parents.
“My poor son. Doesn’t seem like things are getting any better. 2 teachers and a total of 2 students wrote in his yearbook. Despite Brody asking all kinds of kids to sign it,” Ridder wrote. “So Brody took it upon himself to write to himself. My heart is shattered. Teach your kids kindness.”
“I honestly didn’t think much would come of it,” Ridder told TODAY.
The next day, Ridder received a text from Brody.
“Facebook this,” he wrote, alongside a picture of yearbook filled with messages and signatures.
“He had messages from eighth-graders and even 11th graders,” Ridder said. “Brody's exact words to me were, ‘This is the best day ever.’ Some kids even put their phones for Brody to contact them."
“Hey dude, you’re freaking awesome. Stay that way."
“Brody — you are the kindest little kid. You are so loved. Don’t listen to the kids that tell you different.”
“Brody — I hope you have an amazing summer! You’re worth it and you matter!”
"Hey buddy, never change, never put your head down."
Ridder said the kids who had previously refused to write in Brody’s yearbook were suddenly “lining up” to sign.
Brody can't stop smiling — he's already talking about how excited he is for seventh grade.
"He's on cloud nine," Ridder said.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Neurocrine Biosciences is turning 30 this year. As I look back, I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished during that time, most notably, the impact we've made on the lives of patients living with movement disorders like tardive dyskinesia (TD) and Parkinson's disease. The success of INGREZZA has allowed us to reinvest in our company and develop a neurology-focused pipeline that features 12 mid-to-late-stage programs. With this set of clinical assets and others to follow, we have a tremendous opportunity to bring even more treatments to patients who need better options.
This broad pipeline of novel assets is key to the next chapter in Neurocrine Biosciences' history. Each asset has the potential to address serious neurological-related disorders and we expect Phase 2 and registrational study data readouts on a number of these unique compounds throughout this year and into next. We are advancing investigational compounds in areas like schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, where our medicines could be used together with available treatment options to further improve patient outcomes. In some cases, we are developing medicines in areas like congenital adrenal hyperplasia and essential tremor where there have been no new treatment options for over 50 years. And in other disorders, we are advancing programs to address specific rare pediatric epilepsies and dyskinetic cerebral palsy, areas where even today, there are no approved treatment options for patients. We are excited about the potential of Neurocrine Biosciences' pipeline, and what it can mean to the lives of patients around the world.
At the same time, we are proud of the essential role INGREZZA continues to play in addressing TD. INGREZZA continues to be the most prescribed and preferred treatment option for these patients and, despite the challenging impact of the pandemic on patients, prescribers, offices and clinics, more patients were treated with INGREZZA in 2021 than ever before. With roughly 85% of the TD patient population still undiagnosed or not treated at all, we are just beginning to scratch the surface of INGREZZA's full potential. Our strong conviction in the long-term opportunity for INGREZZA is evidenced by the commercial investments we are making to improve diagnosis and treatment rates in 2022 and beyond.
We remain committed to taking on some of the world's toughest health problems and neurological-focused drug development, because we are confident in our balanced pipeline, long-term approach, and judicious investment strategy.
We have strategically positioned Neurocrine Biosciences to efficiently and effectively study multiple mechanisms of action against one disease while researching one compound across multiple indications. Given the nature of our field, we know not everything is going to work. When we do not initially succeed, we learn. And when we are ultimately successful, we make a profound impact on patient lives. It is a tremendous privilege, and a responsibility we do not take lightly. It is also the opportunity that inspires and energizes us every day.
Importantly, Neurocrine Biosciences is delivering for our patients, shareholders, and the communities in which we live and work, simultaneously. Our recently published 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report highlights the environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues most relevant to our business and how we are making
a positive impact in all three areas. In particular, accelerating our efforts in relation to diversity, equity, and inclusion remains a priority. In 2021 we were very pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Johanna Mercier to our Board of Directors, bringing the percentage of women on our Board to 33%. We also hired the company's first Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and rolled out unconscious bias training
to all employees. We continue to partner with a number of STEM organizations to promote diversity in the life sciences community. We are honored and humbled to have been named to a number of "Best Places to Work" lists in 2021 in recognition of these initiatives, and others, and as a testament to our winning culture rooted in strong ethics and teamwork.
Upon reflection on the last 30 years, I wish I could say the company has evolved exactly as contemplated in our original business plan, but the truth is, progress is not always linear. It is our ability to take new challenges in stride that has shaped our corporate character and established Neurocrine Biosciences as an innovative leader in the biopharmaceutical industry. With strong commercial momentum and a talented team advancing our pipeline, I am optimistic about the opportunities ahead of us for the next 30 years and beyond.
Sincerely,
Kevin C. Gorman, PH.D.

MEXICO CITY, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Comisión Federal de Electricidad ("CFE" or the "Company"), a productive state enterprise of the Federal Government of the United Mexican States ("Mexico"), announced today the early tender consideration (the "Early Tender Consideration") payable in connection with its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash the outstanding notes of the series set forth in the table below (all such notes, collectively, the "Notes" and each a "series" of Notes), for an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of up to US$1,000,000,000 (the "Maximum Consideration"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 19, 2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase") and subject to (1) the maximum per series consideration for the 4.875% Notes due 2024 set forth in the table below, (2) the acceptance priority level of each series of Notes, and (3) possible proration, each as described herein and in the Offer to Purchase (the "Offer").
The following table sets forth certain information about the Offer, including the principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 2, 2022 (the "Early Tender Date") and accepted in the Offer and the offer yield and Early Tender Consideration for each series of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date:
________________________________
(1) Per each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Early Tender Consideration includes an early tender premium equal to US$50.00 per US$1,000 principal amount for each series of Notes accepted for purchase. Holders whose Notes have been accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date (as defined herein). CFE has agreed, subject to specified exceptions and limitations, to pay additional interest to participants in the Offer to cover Mexican withholding taxes on interest payments.
The purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offer would cause CFE to purchase Notes with an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, in excess of the Maximum Consideration. In order to accept for purchase all of the Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date, CFE is increasing the Maximum Consideration from U.S.$1,000,000,000 to U.S.$1,104,423,027.95. As a result, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, CFE has accepted for purchase all of the Notes validly tendered in the Offer on or prior to the Early Tender Date. Because all of the Maximum Consideration has been used to purchase Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date (as defined below) will be accepted for purchase. Except as described in this press release, all other terms of the Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase remain unchanged.
The early settlement date on which CFE will pay for Notes accepted in the Offer is expected to be June 7, 2022 (the "Early Settlement Date").
Holders who validly tendered their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase are eligible to receive the applicable Early Tender Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes an early tender premium as set forth therein, and to receive Accrued Interest on their accepted Notes up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date.
The aggregate purchase price, excluding Accrued Interest, payable on the Early Settlement Date for Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted in the Offer will be US$1,104,423,027.95.
Notes that have been validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law.
The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on June 16, 2022 (the "Expiration Date"), unless extended by CFE in its sole discretion.
CFE has retained BBVA Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Mizuho Securities USA LLC to act as dealer managers in connection with the Offer (the "Dealer Managers"). Any questions or requests for assistance regarding the Offer may be directed to the Dealer Managers at their contact information set forth below.
Copies of the Offer to Purchase may be obtained from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender agent (the "Tender Agent") and the information agent (the "Information Agent") for the Offer, at +1 (855) 654-2015 (toll-free) or +1 (212) 430-3774 (collect).

In modern houses, living spaces are very limited. Hence, traditional partitions are not suitable for the small apartments nowadays. If you wish to divide your room into separate areas without shrinking the amount of space, try using your creativity!
In the following article, we will introduce you to various room partitions suggested by professionals. Let’s take a look at them in details and get inspired!
Often, the TVs you see are mounted firmly onto the walls. Here in this apartment, professionals have adopted a wall partition that is half the height of the ceiling to separate the living room. Keep reading below to find out what’s behind the wall.
The dining table! This dividing technique allows the interior to maintain its openness while giving each area its own individuality.
The headboard of your bed can hold many different functions. For instance, you can build a half-wall behind the bed to create an extra space at the back for changing or reading. In this example, the two areas won’t be overlapping with each other, and won’t feel compacted in one space either.
The entrance is where the first impression is made. You might not want your visitors to see everything in your house the moment they step in. If that is the case, you can opt for a frosted glass window frame to give a sense of differentiation and transparency.
In this proposal, behind the living room is a study. Professionals have included a sliding wooden door on the desk to give yourself some privacy when needed.
The design here uses a unique color coordination, which is very important when choosing for room partitions. The marble wall blends in harmony with the table and floor of similar pattern, creating a nice touch of unity.
The next idea we have here is a wooden display cabinet so the dining room won’t be seen right as you enter the house. You can also show off your collections on the display!
Open kitchens or dining rooms are a very popular design now. Here, professionals have placed a higher countertop in between the dining table and living area to give it some separation.
Solid walls make an area look compressed. The perfect alternative is to use glass. From the picture, you will see how the two different areas are separated but seem connected.
The last proposal we have requires you to make use of the area behind the couch. You can place a cupboard as a form of separation, which can also be used as a desk! | https://www.homify.ph/ideabooks/4590917/9-creative-partition-ideas-for-small-apartments | 2022-06-03T18:36:52Z | https://www.homify.ph/ideabooks/4590917/9-creative-partition-ideas-for-small-apartments | true | 1 |
John Theurer Cancer Center Investigators Participate in Large Pivotal International Study
HACKENSACK, N.J., June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center investigators participated in the large phase III multicenter SHINE study, which reported that using the drug ibrutinib (Imbruvica®) in combination with standard bendamustine and rituximab (BR) therapy as initial treatment for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) slowed disease growth by 52% in older people newly diagnosed with the disease. The treatment could become the new standard of care for older people with MCL, who may not be able to tolerate more intensive treatment regimens. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on June 3, 2022.
"The field of mantle cell lymphoma treatment continues to evolve. The standard of care for elderly patients — who account for more than half of all people diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma and who are not eligible for high-dose therapy upfront — has most frequently been chemoimmunotherapy with bendamustine and rituximab. Over time, however, most patients relapse," explained Andre Goy, M.D., M.S., chairman and executive director of John Theurer Cancer Center, who led the center's participation in the SHINE study. "Ibrutinib was the first inhibitor of the BTK protein approved for MCL, and it has been a game changer for patients with relapsed or persistent disease. Logically, the next step was to bring it to the frontline setting, which was the subject of the SHINE clinical trial."
In this study, previously untreated MCL patients aged 65 and older were randomly assigned to receive six cycles of BR with either ibrutinib (261 patients) or a placebo (262 patients). Patients who responded to treatment received up to 12 additional doses of rituximab as maintenance therapy. Researchers compared progression-free survival (PFS, the time it took for the cancer to continue growing) between the two groups.
Adding ibrutinib to BR dramatically improved the outcome. After a median follow-up of 7 years, PFS was 6.7 years in the BR+ibrutinib arm versus 4.4 years for the BR+placebo group. Concluded Dr. Goy, "This is highly significant and could easily translate into BR+ibrutinib becoming the next standard of care."
Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center is New Jersey's largest and most comprehensive center dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, management, research, screenings, and preventive care as well as survivorship of patients with all types of cancers. The 14 specialized divisions covering the complete spectrum of cancer care have developed a close-knit team of medical, research, nursing, and support staff with specialized expertise that translates into more advanced, focused care for all patients. Each year, more people in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area turn to John Theurer Cancer Center for cancer care than to any other facility in New Jersey. John Theurer Cancer Center is a part of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Housed within a 775-bed not-for-profit teaching, tertiary care, and research hospital, John Theurer Cancer Center provides state-of-the-art technological advances, compassionate care, research innovations, medical expertise, and a full range of aftercare services that distinguish John Theurer Cancer Center from other facilities.

A Spotsylvania man was charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run late Tuesday in the county, police said.
Stephanas S. Rennick, 31, is charged with felony hit and run. He turned himself in to police Thursday evening, Sheriff’s Maj. Troy Skebo said, and was later released on bond from the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
The charge stems from an incident late Tuesday in the area of Harrison Road and Meadow Park Drive. Keith Lawrence Ballard, 32, of Burke was found dead on the side of the road just east of the intersection, with obvious injuries.
Skebo said investigators determined that an eastbound car struck Ballard and left the scene. Vehicle parts at the scene led police to identify the vehicle as a silver 2012 or 2013 Hyundai Azera.
Rennick turned himself in after seeing a news release about the incident, Skebo said. Police found a vehicle at his residence with front end and passenger’s side damage consistent with the wreckage left at the accident scene.

Nadina Hassan is not a mean girl by nature.
But she’s happy to play one on stage.
The Ann Arbor native is on the road these days portraying Regina George, the “Queen Bee” of The Plastics, the alpha females in the stage musical adaptation of the 2004 film “Mean Girls.” Written by “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” star Tina Fey and based on the sociology book “Queen Bees and Wannabes,” it’s a sometimes comic but also insightful look at teen female dynamics and the corrupting nature of popularity and artifice. Regina is, for much of the production, the arbiter of taste, fashion and cool at the fictional North Shore High School in suburban Chicago, the meanest of all girls and, according to Hassan, a pleasure to play.
“I never pegged myself in the Regina role, so (the show’s producers) definitely saw something in me that I didn’t, and I’m grateful for that,” Hassan, 23, says by phone from the “Mean Girls” tour stop in Dayton. “I do enjoy playing her. She’s very different from me, which is super fun. You get to step away from yourself a little bit and step into someone else’s shoes and look through their lens of life.
“She’s very conniving. It’s fun to play with her intelligence in different ways, how she manipulates people and has power over people. And the songs are SO fabulous.”
Hassan was, in fact, a fan of the “Mean Girls” film, watching it “countless times” with her older sister and mother. She also saw the original Broadway cast — which was nominated for a dozen Tony Awards — perform it twice on Broadway and “totally loved it. I always wanted to be in it.”
“Mean Girls” is, in fact, Hassan’s first major production as a professional actor. Raised in an “arts appreciating” household, part of “a family with lots of doctors, lots of people in the medical field,” she attended musicals from a young age at the Wharton Center in East Lansing and later at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre. She began taking vocal lessons after her sister started, making her first appearance in “The Lorax” during fourth grade.
“I wasn’t great at the beginning, but you work and continue,” Hassan says. “It was seeing those shows at a young age — ‘Wicked,’ ‘Phantom of the Opera,’ being in complete awe of what those people were able to do. So always in the back of my head there was no other thought for me other than, ‘That’s what I want to do!’”
Hassan attended Skyline High School in Ann Arbor but did theatrical work at Pioneer High School, then earned a degree in musical theater from Baldwin Wallace University in Ohio. As the theater world shut down after the pandemic — ending “Mean Girls’” Broadway run at just under two years — Hassan came back to Ann Arbor, taking additional acting classes online and going through virtual auditions. She tried out for “Mean Girls” during the summer of 2021, then was brought into New York for a final callback and became the second touring Regina.
“It was crazy,” Hassan notes. “I’m so fortunate to start this young, with a role like this. I feel very fortunate to be where I am.”
Among her future goals are originating roles on Broadway, as well as working in film and TV. “Mean Girls,” meanwhile, has already played at the Wharton Center, but Hassan expects the Fisher Theatre run will be another great moment in her fledgling career.
“Oh , it’s going to be so special I can’t even put it into words,” she says. “So many people are coming, friends and family from all over, like everybody’s coming home. I’ve never even been backstage (at the Fisher), so that’s going to be totally surreal.”
“Mean Girls” runs Tuesday, June 7 through June 19 at the Fisher Theatre, 3011 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit. $40 and up. 313-872-1000 or broadwayindetroit.com. | https://www.dailytribune.com/2022/06/03/ann-arbor-native-is-the-meanest-of-the-mean-girls/ | 2022-06-03T18:43:53Z | https://www.dailytribune.com/2022/06/03/ann-arbor-native-is-the-meanest-of-the-mean-girls/ | false | 6 |

PITTSTON — City police and the Luzerne County Drug Task Force arrested a woman they allege sold methamphetamine while caring for three children from a residence that was later deemed unfit for habitation.
Christina May Crawn, 41, of 148 Panama St., Pittston, was arraigned Friday by District Judge Thomas Malloy in Luzerne County Central Court on three counts of child endangerment and one count each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and criminal use of communication facility. She was jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $65,000 bail.
Drug agents Crawn sold methamphetamine from her residence while a boy, 2, and two girls, 4 and 8, were inside the same residence, according to court records.
Crawn is not the mother to the children but would be trusted to supervise them while their mother was at work, court records say.
A caseworker with Children and Youth Services conducted a welfare check on the children at the residence Thursday.
During an inspection, officials discovered garbage, rotting and moldy food and a general filth covering the floors and counter spaces. There were no beds or cribs inside the residence for the children to sleep, and one girl appeared to have been kept inside a closed room with only a child car seat for an extended period of time, court records say.
Police in court records say there was little to no food available for the children to eat.
The children were taken into protective custody, court records say.
The city’s code enforcement office deemed the residence unfit for habitation, police said. | https://s24526.pcdn.co/news/1559274/police-woman-sold-methamphetamine-in-front-of-three-children | 2022-06-03T18:45:18Z | https://s24526.pcdn.co/news/1559274/police-woman-sold-methamphetamine-in-front-of-three-children | false | 3 |

To drive on the road, the car needs to pass the Inspección Técnica de Vehículos, a vehicle inspection similar to the UK’s MOT, commonly known as the ITV.
In the inspection, it is verified that the vehicle complies with the safety and polluting emission standards, whilst the technicians verify that there are no faults that could endanger road safety.
But many will wonder what parts of the car are reviewed in the ITV that is mandatory every two years until they are 10 years old. The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) have provided a list of all the components of the vehicles that are inspected so that they satisfy these minimum safety requirements and have the permit to drive on the road, an accreditation that translates into a sticker that drivers must display on the front window.
What parts of the car are reviewed in the ITV
– Vehicle identification. The ITV not only looks at the state of the car. It is also important that the make, model, chassis number and licence plate of the vehicle coincide with those indicated in the documentation of the vehicle that is presented. When an appointment for the exam is made, the originals of the Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica, the ITV card, and the Permiso de Circulación, the logbook, must also be presented.
– Bodywork. The exterior part of the vehicle» must not present rust and/or corrosion defects in elements that affect the safety systems or edges that could cause injuries to pedestrians. For this reason, the test verifies that elements such as the windscreen wipers and the doors work correctly. Nor can any mirror be missing, and they must be in good condition. Likewise, the vehicle’s windows must be approved and without damage that affects vision when driving.
Inside. During the ITV test, the seats are examined to verify that they are well attached to the bodywork. In case of incorporating child restraint systems, the technicians will check that they are appropriate for the safety of the little ones. In this sense, there can be no elements that prevent or hinder visibility. Also, the operation of the antifreeze, antifog and the antitheft and speedometer are reviewed.
Lighting and signage. Through a tool called a regloscope, the status of the dipped and main beam lights is inspected. Both the signalling and lighting elements must be approved and comply with Traffic regulations.
– Emissions. The technicians check that the vehicle does not exceed the maximum emission limit depending on the date of manufacture and the type of fuel used. Its impact on noise pollution is also crucial so that it does not exceed the permitted noise.
– Brakes. Brakes are an important element for safety. That is why his review is very exhaustive: its operation, from the pedal to the wheel cylinder.
– Steering. The steering wheel also undergoes a complete inspection to verify that it does not present a fault in its operation. To do this, the column, the steering box, all the linkage and the ball joints of the vehicle’s steering mechanism must be in good condition.
Axles, wheels, tyres and suspension. The status of all these items is checked. The tyres must be approved and be those indicated for the vehicle model. Likewise, the suspension components, their fixings, damage, leaks or protections are inspected.
Engine and transmission. In this part of the vehicle, great care is taken to ensure that the engine does not leak oil. Thus, the anchors, the battery, the fuel tank, pipes, exhaust system, the state of the transmission and its possible losses are also checked. | https://theleader.info/2022/06/03/the-dgt-explains-what-parts-of-the-car-are-reviewed-in-the-itv/ | 2022-06-03T18:50:49Z | https://theleader.info/2022/06/03/the-dgt-explains-what-parts-of-the-car-are-reviewed-in-the-itv/ | false | 1 |
Why Is Plains All American (PAA) Up 7.4% Since Last Earnings Report?
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Plains All American Pipeline (PAA). Shares have added about 7.4% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Plains All American due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Plains All American Q1 Earnings Miss, Revenues Beat
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. reported first-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings of 31 cents per unit, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents by 16.2%. The bottom line improved 24% from the year-ago figure.
For the quarter under review, the partnership reported GAAP earnings of 19 cents per unit compared with 51 cents in the year-ago period.
Total Revenues
Total revenues of $13,694 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $11,668 million by 17.4%. The top line improved 63.2% from $8,393 million reported a year ago. Strong performance of its Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids (“NGL”) segment boosted the top line.
Highlights of the Release
For the quarter under review, Plains All American’s total costs and expenses were $13,401 million, up 70.6% year over year. This increase was primarily due to higher purchases and related costs.
Total adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $614 million, up 13.1% from the year-ago period.
During the quarter, Crude Oil volumes were 7,159 thousand barrels per day (Mbls/d) and NGL sales volume was 168 Mbls/d.
Net interest expenses were $107 million, flat with the year-ago quarter.
The firm reduced its long-term debt level by $412 million during first-quarter 2022, which will lower capital servicing costs.
Segmental Performance
The Crude Oil segment’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $453 million compared with $474 million in the year-ago quarter. The performance of this segment was impacted by the sale of its natural gas storage facilities in August of 2021 and gains related to hedged power costs resulting from Winter Storm Uri, recognized in the first quarter of 2021.
The NGL Segment’s adjusted EBITDA was $161 million compared with $69 million in the year-ago quarter. The performance of this segment was driven by the favorable impact of higher realized fractionation spreads and higher NGL sales prices, partially offset by lower NGL sales volumes.
Financial Update
As of Mar 31, 2022, current assets were $8,097 million compared with $6,137 million as of Dec 31, 2021.
As of Mar 31, 2022, Plains All American had long-term debt of $7,986 million compared with $8,398 million as of Dec 31, 2021. Free cash flow was $200 million compared with $678 million in the year-ago period.

The consensus estimate has shifted -12.5% due to these changes.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of this revision indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Plains All American has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

A number of so-called religious conservatives like to explain away national tragedies — be they natural or man-made — through the lens of God’s wrath, or at least indirect punishment for “sins.” Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich blamed same-sex marriage for the 2008 economic crash. Former Sen. Rick Santorum blamed abortions for Social Security’s troubles.
One of the all-time classic remarks came from John Hagee, pastor of a megachurch in San Antonio, who famously said, “God caused Hurricane Katrina to wipe out New Orleans because it had a gay pride parade the week before.” So God didn’t “wipe out New Orleans” because of the “Girls Gone Wild: Mardi Gras Invasion” DVD that came out the same year Katrina hit. God didn’t punish the city for having a corrupt police department so well known for terrorizing citizens that the first sentence of a 2011 Department of Justice report read, “The NOPD has long been a troubled agency.” And God didn’t punish New Orleans for having hosted the largest slave market in the country. No, according to Hagee, God punished New Orleans with Katrina because drag queens were dancing on floats the week before.

It’s an interesting theology that conservative Christians like Hagee, Santorum and Gingrich espouse. They clearly have a period in mind in which they believe God was happier with the direction of the country, but our history makes it impossible to pinpoint a date without looking racist. So they tend to talk in nostalgic Judeo-Christian generalities. Like Sen. Ron Johnson, who recently said, “I think the solution is renewed faith,” as if there’s an agreed-upon faith or showing of that faith that we all should agree to return to.
As the first funerals for the 21 victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, are happening this week, starting with services for 10-year-olds Amerie Jo Garza and Maite Rodriguez, we’re going to be hearing a lot more of these generalities. The services in Uvalde come less than three days after the funeral for the last of the 10 victims in Buffalo, New York.
With each passing day, it is clear that conservatives want to move the national conversation surrounding these mass shootings away from gun access and toward God. This despite Pew having found the U.S. to already be “the most devout of all the rich Western democracies.”
It’s not guns we have to fear, according to the Hagee-Santorum-Gingrich theology: It’s evil that threatens us. The adherents of this thinking say after any horror: We have to fight evil.
My question is how a nation that romanticizes, even monetizes, its own evil beginnings can even start to fight the kind of evil some of these politicos speak of. This is the country that turned Christopher Columbus from being lost at sea into a folk hero who “discovered” a land full of people. We are the ones who rebranded slave labor camps as plantations.
We have Civil War reenactments in which people root for the bad guy. And yeah, considering that “the Union” is really just another way of saying the United States, the Confederacy would be the enemy. But we haven’t been conditioned to think that way, have we?
The needle of our moral compass is susceptible to political spin. The kind of spin elected officials like Johnson deploy because it panders to our desire to see ourselves as good people. That’s much more pleasant for us than acknowledging we were never as holy as we like to tell ourselves. We don’t need to return the kind of faith that allowed brutal enslavement to be the law of the land for centuries. We don’t need to return to the kind of faith that allowed Jim Crow laws to follow.
After the Uvalde shooting, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick opined about the killer: “You just cannot change character without changing a heart, and you can’t do that without turning to God.”
I would ask Patrick: When exactly did a nation built on stolen land, kidnapping and enslavement turn away from God? I only ask because after the shooting in Texas, Johnson said: “We’ve stopped teaching values in so many of our schools. Now we’re teaching wokeness.” Which isn’t a subject in school, but certainly is one outside of it. And it’s being vilified by the same political leanings that meet cries for gun control with rhetoric like, “We took God out of schools and we wonder how this evil comes in.” That’s what Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy said.
Such an interesting perspective.
In May 1961, a bus carrying Freedom Riders was attacked in rural Alabama. A bomb was thrown on board, and as flames grew, a racist mob blocked the door.
“Fry the goddamn n--,” someone reportedly said.
When the activists finally escaped, they were beaten with baseball bats.
The following year, a Supreme Court ruling banned school prayer.
So no, Campos-Duffy, many of us don’t wonder how this evil came in. We wonder why people like you won’t admit it’s been here since the beginning.

MADISON, Ill. (AP)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.

Did you retire during the pandemic, but then decide to head back to work?
The pandemic pushed over 2.6 million more people into retirement than projected, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
The reasons for the early exits varied: some workers saw an unexpected financial boost from the strong stock market and high home prices, others were laid off or left their jobs over health and safety concerns and some needed to make more time for child care or other care giving needs.
But now, some retirees are rethinking their decision and returning to the labor market. The job market is hot, and employers are offering hefty incentives to potential job seekers. At the same time, prices are rising and pushing up the cost of living and there’s also a concern we might be heading into a recession.
If you retired during the pandemic and have now either returned or are thinking about returning to work, we want to hear from you. Share your experience below and we may reach out to you for a potential story.

Valencia adds more turmoil by firing coach Bordalás
MADRID (AP) — Spanish club Valencia has fired coach José Bordalás amid turmoil over the team’s leadership. The club ended Bordalás’ contract halfway through its two-year tenure. He helped the team reach the Copa del Rey final and finish ninth in the Spanish league. The firing comes a few days after Valencia removed president Anil Murthy from his post following the leak of private conversations that made the club’s leadership look bad. He talked about players, the club’s economic situation and plans for the future. A replacement to Bordalás has not been announced but Spanish media say Italian Gennaro Gattuso is the front-runner for the position. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/06/03/valencia-adds-more-turmoil-by-firing-coach-bordalas/ | 2022-06-03T19:08:08Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/06/03/valencia-adds-more-turmoil-by-firing-coach-bordalas/ | true | null |
We've all had those days. Those days when we wake up, and don't want to look in the mirror, for fear of what we might see! Or evenings when we're getting ready for a big night out, and no matter how many times we check ourselves in the full-length mirror, we're just not happy. But what if, regardless of how you looked, your mirror made you smile—and in the process, made you look better with it! A beautiful mirror will make all that self-criticism melt away; when you look in it you can take pleasure in knowing you have impeccable taste! Beyond that, mirrors will add light to any room, and can refract that light to change the room's aspect as the light changes. Mirrors will also create an illusion of space, adding new dimensions with their reflections.
Whether you're looking for something full-length; something to hang on your bedroom wall; or something to stand on a hall console, we've selected some beautiful mirrors for you to consider below.
Who wouldn't want to be garlanded with flowers as they check their outfit out? The stunning floral frame on this mirror by Presumedetucasa will definitely give you joy, whether you hang it vertically or horizontally.
Or how about a woodland theme? Put yourself in the forest on a misty morning with this tree-print framed mirror, also from Presumedetucasa.
These simple, elegant hanging mirrors would look just as lovely hanging anywhere in your home—in your bathroom, leaning on your hall console, or hanging from a hook in your dressing or living room. Made from antique zinc by design firm Decorum, they're also available with an antique brass frame, and in a variety of sizes.
The sunburst mirror. It's a classic, and a showstopper! Spice up any space with Orion by Sweets and Spices Dekoration. You could hang this over a fireplace, a bed, a console; anywhere you want to add a burst of style and glamour.
You like the idea of a sunburst mirror, but want something a little more deconstructed? Sweets and Spices Dekoration have you covered for that, too, with their 'Kensey' mirror. All the glamour of a sunburst, but with a contemporary twist.
Quirky, fun, and delightful, this mirror will make you smile, even as you try to figure out if there's a secret message hidden in the letters that make up the frame!
Need something as glamorous as you are? This mirror should fit the bill.
Of course, glamour doesn't have to be all hard edges and metallic finish—this reclaimed-teak framed mirror oozes chic, but softens the edges.
A matching console and mirror in one? Why not! This set from Lea Pack, called 'Mer Rouge' (Red Sea) is colour and style in one package.
We all love shabby chic, but sometimes we want a pinch of exotic, too. This mirror has both, with old wood enlivened with Moorish design accents, would suit a bathroom equally as well as a hall.
A mirror can be a feature piece as much as a functional piece—as this beautiful work by Paco Escriva proves. Less mirror than artwork, it would look stunning in any space.
Sometimes, you just want your mirror to make a serious statement. This one does just that, with elaborate rococco styling and silver leaf. One look in this, and no matter how bad the bad hair day, you'll think to yourself: 'I feel absolutely fabulous.' | https://www.homify.sg/ideabooks/9438/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall | 2022-06-03T19:08:17Z | https://www.homify.sg/ideabooks/9438/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall | true | 1 |

ST. ALBANS — Dozens of Bellows Free Academy students gathered for a night of competitive theater on May 26.
This event, known as Junior Jam, is a staple in the BFA-St. Albans Theatre Department, drama teacher Susan Palmer said. Each year, BFA students compete class vs. class in a one-act play competition. Freshmen compete against sophomores, and juniors compete against seniors.
Palmer explained that student directors are elected in each grade, then the directors cast other students as cast and crew members in their productions. The plays are then performed live and judged based on acting, directing and tech.
Palmer said after taking a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Junior Jam returned last year. BFA students and staff were encouraged to attend and support their classes, and the show was recorded and put online for the community to view as well. This year, however, students were able to perform their shows live for both their families and friends.
This year, the shows and directors were as follows:
Emma Gibson (‘25) and Grey Bruley (‘25) directed the freshmen show “Betweenity.”
Penelope Noza (‘24) and Rachel Ledoux (‘24) directed the sophomore show, “How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying.”
Rebekah Dalmer (‘23) directed the junior show, “It’s Not You, It’s Me.”
Yukina Benjamin (‘22) directed the senior show, “So You Want to be a Cheerleader.”
After all of the shows had been performed, the judges took a few minutes to decide on the winners. This year, the sophomore and junior classes won.
Student participants noted that the event also included a bake sale during the brief intermission. The items were donated by members of the theatre department, and funds will go toward future theatrical productions.
“Everyone did such a great job. It was a really awesome experience,” audience member Taro Ditch (‘23) said.
This was seconded by students who participated in Junior Jam.
“Junior Jam is always my favorite theater event,” Lydia Tomlinson (‘23) said. “It’s so fun getting to act with my [friends], and it was really cool to win this year.”
Emma Gibson (‘25), during a speech about Junior Jam at this year’s Theater Awards ceremony, supported this from a director standpoint.
“We made new connections, gained new skills, learned new things and had the most fun while doing it,” Gibson said. “Junior Jam is an amazing experience that I’m so glad I got to enjoy.” | https://www.samessenger.com/schools/bfa-st-albans-theater-students-participate-in-junior-jam/article_30ea3b64-e35a-11ec-8161-4f08b35b3701.html | 2022-06-03T19:09:09Z | https://www.samessenger.com/schools/bfa-st-albans-theater-students-participate-in-junior-jam/article_30ea3b64-e35a-11ec-8161-4f08b35b3701.html | false | 1 |

Teradek’s latest innovations will be on display at InfoComm, the most comprehensive event for audiovisual solutions, which returns to Las Vegas for a live in-person event.
Presented as the most comprehensive event for audiovisual solutions that enables integrated experiences, with products for audio, conferencing and collaboration, digital signage, content, production and streaming, video capture and production, control, and live events, InfoComm 2022 is ready to head to Las Vegas for a live in-person event. Teradek will be there, at booth W2655, to display its newest live production technology. Here are some of the highlights from Teradek’s line of products:
Teradek ART
Professional AV attendees can watch live demos of Teradek’s latest innovations, including ART: the ultra-low latency IP video protocol, Spark 4K: the zero-delay wireless transmitter and receiver system for AV professionals, Wave: the 7” HD live streaming monitor, and Prism Flex: the portable 4K HDR encoder/decoder system.
ART (Adaptive Reliable Transport) is a video-aware, ultra-low latency streaming protocol for mission-critical video transport over public networks. ART optimizes for both video quality and network characteristics simultaneously, resulting in the best possible streaming experience despite network performance. ART uses the same methodology behind Teradek’s Emmy and Academy Award-winning Bolt zero-delay wireless video system.
Teradek Spark 4K
The live demo of the ultra-low latency IP video protocol will be a must-see at InfoComm.
Spark 4K lets A/V professionals transport 4K HDR video via HDMI from source to screen in 0.001 seconds. With zero-delay IMAG projection, users can give their entire audience a front-row seat of the speaker on stage – without a distracting lag and pixelated picture quality. Spark 4K boasts a wireless coverage of up to 500 feet of range, keeping equipment and display screens easily accessible for robust wireless connectivity.
Teradek Wave
Wave is the only live streaming monitor that handles encoding, smart event creation, network bonding, multistreaming, and recording – all on a daylight-viewable touchscreen display. Designed to simplify both the live streaming experience, users can simply set the device on tabletops with its leg stands, or mount Wave to cameras for on-the-go streaming. Its hot-swappable battery plates and USB-C connector provide continuous power for long productions, and its daylight-viewable monitor makes it easy to see what’s happening on the screen at any time of day, in any brightness.
Teradek Prism Flex
Prism Flex is Teradek’s flagship encoder/decoder system – now in a portable form factor. Delivering premium streaming video in 4K HDR, Prism Flex is designed for mission-critical IP video transport where reliable, color-accurate, and low latency point-to-point streaming is needed. Prism Flex’s compact, low-power design, and 12G-SDI and HDMI I/O make it easy to integrate into any live production workspace and workflow. This includes live production companies, broadcasters, filmmakers, megachurches, and large corporations.
The 2022 edition of InfoComm starts on June 4, with the educational part of the event. The exhibits run from June 8 until June 10. If you intend to visit InfoComm, one word of warning regarding health and safety protocols now being followed by this and many other events: all participants attending the show must provide proof of full vaccination or a COVID-19 negative PCR or rapid antigen test when picking-up badge credentials at registration in the North and West Halls. All participants can present their proof of full vaccination or a COVID-19 negative PCF or rapid antigen test in either a digital or physical documentation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump White House official Peter Navarro was indicted Friday on contempt charges after defying a subpoena from the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro is former President Donald Trump's second aide to be charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the Jan. 6, 2021, investigation, His arrest comes months after former White House adviser Steve Bannon.
Navarro, 72, was charged with one contempt count for failing to appear for a deposition before the House committee. The second charge is for failing to produce documents the committee requested. He was taken into federal custody Friday morning and was expected to appear in federal court in Washington later in the afternoon.
The indictment underscores that the Justice Department is continuing to pursue criminal charges against Trump associates who have attempted to impede or stonewall the work of congressional investigators examining the most significant attack on U.S. democracy in decades.
The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland have faced pressure to move more quickly to decide whether to prosecute other Trump aides who have similarly defied subpoenas from the House panel.
The indictment alleges that Navarro, when summoned to appear before the committee for a deposition, refused to do so and instead told the panel that because Trump had invoked executive privilege, “my hands are tied.”
After committee staff told him they believed there were topics he could discuss without raising any executive privilege concerns, Navarro again refused, directing the committee to negotiate directly with lawyers for Trump, according to the indictment. The committee went ahead with its scheduled deposition on March 2, but Navarro did not attend.
The indictment came days after Navarro revealed in a court filing that he also had been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury this week as part of the Justice Department’s sprawling probe into the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro, who was a trade adviser to Trump, said he was served the subpoena by the FBI at his Washington, D.C., home last week. The subpoena was the first known instance of prosecutors seeking testimony from someone who worked in the Trump White House as they investigate the attack.
Navarro made the case in his lawsuit Tuesday that the House select committee investigating the attack is unlawful and therefore a subpoena it issued to him in February is unenforceable under law.
He filed the suit against members of the committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the U.S. attorney in Washington, Matthew M. Graves, whose office is now handling the criminal case against him.
In an interview with The Associated Press this week, Navarro said the goal of his lawsuit is much broader than the subpoenas themselves, part of an effort to have “the Supreme Court address a number of issues that have come with the weaponization of Congress’ investigatory powers” since Trump entered office.
Members of the select committee sought testimony from Navarro about his public efforts to help Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election, including a call trying to persuade state legislators to join their efforts.
The former economics professor was one of the White House staffers who promoted Trump’s baseless claims of mass voter fraud. He released a report in December 2020 that he contended contained evidence of the alleged misconduct.
Navarro has refused to cooperate with the committee, and he and fellow Trump adviser Dan Scavino were found in contempt of Congress in April. Scavino has not been charged by the Justice Department at this point.
Members of the committee made their case at the time that Scavino and Navarro were among just a handful of people who had rebuffed the committee’s requests and subpoenas for information.
The panel has interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses about the insurrection and is preparing for a series of hearings to begin next week. | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/world_news/article_6244278b-2806-587e-81a2-1ab2750dfff6.html | 2022-06-03T19:28:30Z | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/world_news/article_6244278b-2806-587e-81a2-1ab2750dfff6.html | true | 21 |

A survivor’s story
Globally, the month of May is dedicated to raising awareness about Lupus, an inflammatory disease that is said to be difficult to diagnose because of its broad spectrum of symptoms that vary from patient to patient; hence it is known as ‘the disease with a thousand faces’.
Who better to spearhead the awareness campaign locally than a survivor of Lupus, Afro Jazz musician, Gaone Gee Ditirafalo. The Molepolole native hosted the second installment of the Annual Lupus Awareness Concert this past Saturday, performing alongside Murubele Traditional Group, Naomi Tes, MC Theo, Kitso Selato and House of the Uncommon.
A recipient of the Mulher Forte African Literature award 2021 and 2013 My Star second runner-up, the passionate performer says she was diagnosed with the brutal condition in 2018, two months after returning home from Cape Town where she had just graduated from AFDA with a Bachelor’s Degree in Live Performance.
She chats with Voice Woman about her harrowing ordeal battling the psychologically and physically draining condition, making her an invalid the first 6 months.
Please share your journey right from the moment you were diagnosed with Lupus; when and how did you find out?
I survived a rare chronic condition, which affects every part of the body: brain, joints, kidneys and even the skin.
In 2018, two months after returning home from varsity, I fell sick.
I was later diagnosed and in my case, my joints were affected.
I was confined to a wheel chair for six months, and had to learn to live as an infirm but later used a walking frame, then crutches.
Let’s talk about the psychological effects of the condition.
My journey with Lupus was not an easy one because I did not know how to handle it.
For a while I found it so hard to accept my new reality.
I wasn’t only affected physically, but emotionally, too; I became depressed but, thankfully, with the great support of my family, I went for counselling, which helped me accept the situation and managed to live through it.
I then started believing in myself again, hence the decision to raise awareness on lupus since a lot of people do not know about it.
What were the early signs in your case?
I started feeling unusually tired, constantly; no amount of rest would suffice.
It’s referred to as chronic fatigue. I also had severe headaches such that I would from time to time experience seizures, mostly in the evenings.
I had one episode where I collapsed and was unconscious for 9 days; I couldn’t eat or do anything.
These are just some of the signs and symptoms that one may have lupus and must seek medical assistance.
How is the disease treated? And how soon did you begin treatment?
Lupus is incurable.
With this condition, basically your white blood cells become overactive, attacking other parts of your system.
The disease is treated with immunosuppressants; steroids that reduce inflammation.
What side effects does treatment have on your overall health?
Steroids have unpleasant side effects like excessive weight gain, palpitations etc. I had to learn to manage the weight gain with diet and exercise
What profound lessons have you drawn from this life-changing experience?
I’ve learnt that I can be and do whatever I want despite the challenges that I face.
Challenges should never derail you from accomplishing your goals.
As I’ve mentioned, I’m an artist, and although lupus rendered me disabled at one point, I did not stop doing what I love most – making music and performing – or pursuing my dreams.
What advice would you share with someone recently diagnosed?
If you were recently diagnosed, don’t despair, be hopeful since your situation will change and you’ll overcome… as long as you follow the instructions of your physicians, and also go for therapy.
You refer to yourself as a survivor yet Lupus has no cure; what exactly do you mean? Have you been cleared?
That simply means I am on clinical remission, meaning the lupus is not active anymore.
And, lastly, any future plans to take your awareness concert to other parts of the country?
I want to raise awareness across Botswana; go from city to city and all villages.
Let’s talk about your new single…
My latest single is titled ‘Nnaya’.
It was inspired by my own experience with the overwhelmingly depressing Lupus.
It is about a lady who fell into a depression due to a sickness but later regains her strength and is once again positive and hopeful.
It is available on all digital platforms: Amazon, iTunes and others.
TREATMENT
• All patients with lupus should receive education, counselling and support.
• Traditionally, the diagnosis and management of Lupus is provided at secondary and tertiary centers to ensure prompt initiation of treatment, adequate control of flares and prevention of irreversible organ damage.
• The condition will vary in activity over time, with a tendency for flaring of disease where people may develop increase in rashes, oral ulcers, internal organ involvement.
• A number of different medications are used in the treatment of lupus, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, glucocorticoids (also called steroids), and immunosuppressive agents.
• The choice of medications for lupus is highly individualized and guided by which organs are affected as well as how severe symptoms are.
• The benefit of these medications is weighed against the risks because these treatments have potentially serious side effects.
• Avoiding direct sun exposure when possible and using sunscreen for sun protection reduces skin involvement.
• Vaccines to prevent pneumonia and the flu are recommended for people with lupus.
• Family planning is an important consideration in women with lupus, since many women with lupus are of reproductive age. Also, there are some medications used to treat lupus that are not safe to take during pregnancy. Thus someone affected by lupus should always consult a medical professional when planning pregnancy.

Nominations close for two Miramichi area by-elections
People's Alliance party fields two candidates, NDP fields none
The full slate of candidates for two upcoming Miramichi area by-elections has been finalized by Elections New Brunswick as the deadline to file nominations has passed.
The by-elections will be held in Miramichi Bay-Neguac and Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin on June 20.
There are five candidates in Miramichi Bay-Neguac:
- Réjean Savoie, Progressive Conservative
- Shawn Wood, Liberal
- Chad Duplessie, Green
- Tom L'Huillier, People's Alliance
- Richard (Hoss) Sutherland, Independent
There are four candidates in Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin:
- Mike Dawson, Progressive Conservative
- Hannah Fulton Johnston, Liberal
- Julie Guillemet-Ackerman, Green
- Larry Lynch, People's Alliance
People's Alliance test
The two by-elections will be the first ones contested by a resurrected People's Alliance party.
The party had been dissolved after former leader Kris Austin crossed the floor to join the governing PCs.
The party was later revived with former Fredericton-York MLA Rick DeSaulniers becoming leader.
The provincial New Democratic Party has not fielded candidates in either riding.
The party courted controversy over nominations for the two races, with its leader facing internal turmoil over criticisms of his leadership.
Federal election prompts vote
The by-elections for the two ridings were necessitated after the two previous MLAs, the Progressive Conservative Jake Stewart and Liberal Lisa Harris, both stepped down to run in the federal riding of Miramichi-Grand Lake in the last federal election.
Jake Stewart went on to win the riding in that election.
Elections NB will hold two days of advanced voting on June 11 and 13, and votes can be cast at local returning offices six days a week until election day. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nominations-close-miramichi-by-elections-1.6476757?cmp=rss | 2022-06-03T19:29:39Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nominations-close-miramichi-by-elections-1.6476757?cmp=rss | true | 1 |

MATCHDAY: Kane targets 50th goal, Italy vs Germany
A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Saturday:
NATIONS LEAGUE
Forward Harry Kane will look to become the second player to reach 50 goals for England when they face Hungary. England opens its Nations League campaign with a game at Budapest in the top tier Group A3. Kane is just four goals shy of Wayne Rooney’s record. “I’d like to break it as soon as possible,” Kane said of Rooney’s 53-goal mark. “I’d love to score as many goals as I can in the next four games before the World Cup and see where we go from there. I’m someone who I feel like doesn’t let that stuff affect me when I’m on the pitch. I have a job to do.” England travels to the Hungarian capital for the first time since their 4-0 World Cup qualifying win last September, which was marred by racist chanting from home supporters. After it’s defeat to Argentina in the Finalissima this week, Italy takes on Germany for a mouthwatering contest in the group’s other match. In League B, it’s Armenia vs. Ireland, Finland vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro vs. Romania. In League C, Turkey plays Faroe Islands and Lithuania faces Luxembourg.

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester said Friday that she doesn't see ample evidence that inflation has peaked and thus is on board with a series of aggressive interest rate increases ahead.
"I think the Fed has shown that we're in the process of recalibrating our policy to get inflation back down to our 2% goal. That's the job before us," Mester said in a live interview on CNBC's "The Exchange."
"I don't want to declare victory on inflation before I see really compelling evidence that our actions are beginning to do the work in bringing down demand in better balance with aggregate supply," she added.
Mester spoke the same day the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payrolls rose by 390,000 in May, and, importantly, that average hourly earnings had increased 0.3% from a month ago, a bit lower than the Dow Jones estimate.
While other recent data points have shown that at least the rate of inflation increases has diminished, Mester said she will need to see multiple months in that trend before she'll feel comfortable.
"It's too soon to say that that's going to change our outlook or my outlook on policy," she said. "The No. 1 problem in the economy remains very, very high inflation, well above acceptable levels, and that's got to be our focus going forward."
Recent statements from the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee indicate that 50 basis point — or half-point — rate increases are likely at the June and July meetings. Officials are likely then to evaluate the progress that the policy tightening and other factors have had on the inflation picture.
But Mester said any type of pause in rate hikes is unlikely, though the magnitude of the increases could be reduced.
"I'm going to come into the September meeting, if I don't see compelling evidence [that inflation is cooling], I could easily be at 50 basis points in that meeting as well," she said. "There's no reason we have to make the decision today. But my starting point will be do we need to do another 50 or not, have I seen compelling evidence that inflation is on the downward trajectory. Then maybe we can go 25. I'm not in that camp that we thinks we stop in September."
Mester's comments were similar to statements Thursday from Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard, who told CNBC that "it's very hard to see the case" for pausing rate hikes in September. She also stressed that quashing inflation, with is running near 40-year highs, is the Fed's top priority. | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/03/feds-mester-says-inflation-hasnt-peaked-and-multiple-half-point-rate-hikes-are-needed.html | 2022-06-03T19:34:17Z | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/03/feds-mester-says-inflation-hasnt-peaked-and-multiple-half-point-rate-hikes-are-needed.html | false | 2 |

Two of the top pitchers in the National League will go head-to-head when the visiting San Diego Padres face the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
Right-hander Joe Musgrove (5-0, 1.86 ERA) gets the nod for San Diego, while the Brewers will counter with right-hander Corbin Burnes (3-2, 1.95), the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner. Musgrove is fourth in the NL in ERA, followed by Burnes.
The Brewers opened the four-game weekend series with the Padres with an improbable 5-4 comeback victory on Thursday night. Milwaukee scored four runs in the ninth against Padres closer Taylor Rogers, who did not retire any of the four batters he faced.
Jace Peterson tied it 4-4 with a bases-loaded triple off the wall in right center. Nabil Crismatt came on for Rogers, and Andrew McCutchen, hitless in his previous 32 at-bats, and delivered a walk-off single to center.
It was the 14th come-from-behind victory for the Brewers, who had been 2-17 when trailing after eight innings. The Padres lost a season-high fourth straight.
Musgrove has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his nine starts, pitching at least six innings each time. He allowed just one run on six hits in six innings, but did not get a decision in a 4-2 loss to the Pirates, who won with a three-run homer off Rogers in the ninth.
“He certainly pitched well enough to earn a win,” Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer said after Musgrove’s last start. “It’s definitely deflating as an offense when your guy goes out there and throws the ball well, especially Joe. He’s been doing it for a while now.”
Musgrove is 0-3 in seven career starts against the Brewers, with no decision in two games at Milwaukee.
Rogers has taken the loss in each of his last three outings and is 0-3 with a 10.50 ERA in his last seven games.
Burnes has turned in quality starts in eight of his 10 outings. In his last start against St. Louis, he allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 and walking one — his fourth double-digit strikeout effort of the season.
“He obviously pitched really well,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after that game. “His cutter was moving a lot; it had a lot of horizontal movement on it. You could just tell by the back-door pitches he made and got takes. The lefties kind of swung over it. His slider was good day today, too. I thought his slider got some outs and slowed hitters down. It’s a big-time performance when we need it.”
Burnes is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in five career games, including three starts, against the Padres. He won at San Diego on May 24, allowing one run on five hits in six innings in the Brewers’ 4-1 victory.
The injury situation continues to mount for the Brewers with catcher Omar Narvaez placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. Starting pitchers Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff are on the 15-day IL, as are shortstop Willy Adames, outfielder Hunter Renfroe, and relievers Jandal Gustave and Luis Perdomo.
Alex Hall, a reserve catcher at nearby Class-A Appleton, was quickly brought up Thursday. Adames made a rehab start Thursday at Triple-A Nashville, going 1-for-3.

The police have arrested and arraigned a 37-year-old driver, Jacob Kwesi Acquah, for allegedly killing Xiong Yin, a Chinese national in cold blood at Dansoman, Accra.
Acquah, a former employee of the deceased, is said to have gone to her house to demand the phone number of her house help.
When Xiong proceeded to her bedroom to get the phone number for Acquah, he allegedly followed her, pushed her onto the bed and strangled her.
Acquah was also said to have smashed the deceased’s head, several times, on the floor and on a metallic sliding door.
He also used the metal part of a shower handle to strike her several times, allegedly.
Two other accomplices; Faustina Otimah, a 21-year-old house help, and Memunatu Allotey, a trader, alleged to have facilitated the murder by assisting Acquah, appeared before the Kaneshie District Court.
They are being held for abetment of crime to wit murder.
The court, presided over by Ms Ama Adomako Kwakye, reserved their plea and remanded them into police custody to reappear on June 15.
Narrating the facts of the case, Inspector Apewa Achana said the complainant, Lin Youji, a Chinese national, was residing at Dansoman Exhibition in Accra.
Acquah resided at Chorkor-Santana and Otimah, the house help of the deceased, resided at Mpoase, while Memunatu was the girlfriend of Acquah.
The prosecution said about seven months ago, Acquah was dismissed by the complainant for misconducting himself, but Acquah had been in touch with Otimah.
On May 10, 2022, Acquah called Otimah and asked her to alert him on the activities of the deceased and her fellow workers, especially when Xiong (deceased) was left alone in the house and that she should leave the small gate unlocked when leaving the house.
Prosecution said Acquah called Otimah 12 times between 9:00 am and 11:00 am to find out
whether Xiong was alone in the house.
It said Acquah convinced Otimah to leave the house without informing the deceased and she (Otimah) complied.
Acquah took advantage of the unlocked gate, entered the compound of Xiong and met her in the living room and pretended he needed the contact of Otimah.
The prosecutor said Xiong innocently left Acquah in the corridor and walked towards her bedroom to pick up her phone to get him the number he demanded.
Acquah followed Xiong and attacked her, pushed her onto her bed, and covered her face with a pillow, the prosecution said.
On seeing that Xiong was weak, he lifted her and sent her to the bathroom, and hit her head on the metallic part of the sliding door and against the floor.
Prosecution said Acquah further used the metal part of the hand shower to hit her head several times, causing her to bleed.
Acquah, after killing her, went to the living room where a CCTV camera was fixed, removed it from the ceiling, and dumped it in a Water closet with the intention of erasing any trace of evidence that might implicate him.
The complainant went to the house after several calls to the deceased went unanswered, prosecution said.
To his surprise, he found both the small gate and main door to the various rooms unlocked.
He rushed to open the deceased’s door and found it locked with the key in front.
When the complainant opened the door, he found the room ransacked, so he proceeded to the deceased’s bathroom where he found her lying in a pool of blood in a supine position.
Prosecution said the complainant quickly rushed to the gate and alerted one Emmanuel Aziati about what he had seen, and both went to observe the body and went to report to the police.
It said the police went to the scene, took pictures and conveyed the body to the Police Hospital Morgue.
On the dawn of May 12, the police had information that Acquah was hiding in the house of Memunatu and they proceeded to the place but Memunatu kept Acquah in her room and led the police to a different location.
The police retrieved the memory card of the CCTV Camera where Acquah was seen in the footage entering the living room of the deceased, the prosecution said. | https://www.adomonline.com/3-grabbed-over-murder-of-chinese-woman-at-dansoman/ | 2022-06-03T19:39:49Z | https://www.adomonline.com/3-grabbed-over-murder-of-chinese-woman-at-dansoman/ | true | 6 |
Apple spotted preparing to add support for more digital car keys – is your vehicle on the list?
APPLE is working on adding Hyundai and Build Your Dreams (BYD) to its list of manufacturers compatible with its digital car keys.
Apple digital car keys allow users to lock, unlock, and start their vehicles via a pass stored in the Wallet app on iPhone or Apple Watch.
Ultra-Wideband with Express Mode in iOS 15 can automatically lock and unlock a compatible car as you approach without needing to wake your device, MacRumors reports.
This action is known as a passive vehicle entry or exit.
BMW was the first auto manufacturer to make some of its models compatible with Apple’s digital car keys in 2020.
Several Kia and Genesis models followed BMW’s lead soon after.
The Hyundai and BYD news broke over the past few days as Apple was spotted adding the two car manufacturers to their Apple Pay configuration file, MacRumors reports.
Apple has a similar pending request for Genesis from September, according to MacRumors.
Genesis is a luxury brand of Hyundai.
BYD is a lesser-known auto manufacturer compared to Hyundai.
Most read in Motors
BYD is a Chinese automaker that’s working on expanding into other countries.
BYD announced that they’d be moving from manufacturing gas-powered cars to focusing on making all-electric and plug-in hybrids this past April.
Apple lists its digital key usage requirements as:
- A compatible car. Contact your manufacturer or your dealership to find out whether or not your car is compatible
- An iPhone XS or later, or iPhone SE (2nd generation), with the latest version of iOS, or an Apple Watch Series 5 or later, or Apple Watch SE, with the latest version of watchOS. To use passive entry or the remote features on compatible cars, you need an iPhone 11 or later or an Apple Watch Series 6 or later
- An Apple ID signed into iCloud
A Bloomberg report suggests that Hyundai and BYD models will be compatible with Apple’s digital car keys by Summer’s end.

US Coast Guard fast response cutter Glen Harris has seized $11 million worth of heroin during a patrol in the Gulf of Oman.
The Glen Harris confiscated 310 kilograms of heroin from the fishing vessel on May 31 while operating under Combined Task Force 150, one of the four task forces the US oversees as part of Combined Maritime Forces. Thirty-four other nations also participate in Combined Maritime Forces, which aims to counter maritime threats in the 5th Fleet.
Last month, the guided-missile destroyer Momsen and a US Coast Guard interdiction team seized $39 million worth of methamphetamine in the same waters off Oman. The Navy and Coast Guard were also operating under Combined Task Force 150.
Weapon and illegal drug seizures skyrocketed in US 5th Fleet last year, when US Navy and partner forces seized more than $193 million worth of illegal drugs — a higher total value than the amount confiscated in the preceding four years combined, the Navy said.
The Navy has attributed the steep increase to added presence in the region.
“We have enhanced our presence and vigilance across regional waters,” Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of NAVCENT, US 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces, said in a January news release. “This reflects our continued commitment to confront destabilizing activities that disrupt the rules-based international order which underlies maritime security in the Middle East.”
Combined Task Force 150 has seized more than $130 million worth of heroin, methamphetamine, amphetamine pills and hashish this year. | https://nypost.com/2022/06/03/coast-guard-seizes-11m-worth-of-heroin-in-gulf-of-oman/ | 2022-06-03T19:44:46Z | https://nypost.com/2022/06/03/coast-guard-seizes-11m-worth-of-heroin-in-gulf-of-oman/ | true | 3 |
David Loe: Traveling again? Here's a few ideas on getting from Ventura County to LAX
Now that Ventura County residents are traveling again, it’s time to take a look at everyone’s perennial challenge: How do I get to LAX?
I’ve encompassed here a few new ideas and some oldies but goodies.
If you live in Oxnard or Ventura you’ve got access to the best bargain around. Ventura County Airporter Shuttle is only $48 each way. It’s a scheduled service that has stops in both of those cities and then makes a non-stop run to the airport. They make 10 roundtrips daily.
To me, that works pretty well going to LAX. If their schedule forces you to arrive at the airport extra early, that’s never a bad idea anyway. The return trip is a little dicier. If your flight home doesn’t jive with the shuttle schedule, you may be cooling your heels for a while.
Ventura County Airporter Shuttle owner Clayton Vail, who started this business 30 years ago, says she soon hopes to be back up to the 13 roundtrips a day like they offered before the pandemic. Advance reservations (VenturaShuttle.com) are strongly suggested as their shuttles hold a maximum of 13 passengers.
It’s been about three years since Roadrunner Shuttle discontinued their service in Ventura County. Love ’em or hate ’em, they were ubiquitous around here. I used their various services many times and mostly loved ’em. Their departure left a giant hole in LAX options.
Just before they closed up shop a couple of their former employees, Dana and Ken Foster started their own version of Roadrunner. Now four years later they are earning rave reviews on Yelp and getting a strong endorsement from local travel agent Patty Baillie of the Travel Store in Camarillo who loves their reliability.
Exclusive Quiet Ride is the name of this service that covers all of Ventura County with rideshare vans plus town cars and limos for private transportation. In each case they pick you up at your home or business. They even operate a Tesla for those who want a green ride to the airport.
Rideshare in a van from Ventura is about $130 each way; Thousand Oaks about $100 with varying prices for other cities based on distance from LAX. Private town car rides start around $210 from Ventura and again are adjusted based on your location.
Exclusive Quiet Ride is a small but growing operation so advance reservations are definitely required (exclusivequietride.com). Don’t be surprised if one of the owners is your driver. I interviewed Dana in the early afternoon recently and she mentioned she had already completed two roundtrips to LAX that morning.
What about Uber and Lyft? These days you are allowed to schedule an advance ride for an Uber pick up going to the airport. That’s a big improvement from earlier times. However you still cannot pre-book a ride home from the airport.
The other issue I have with these rideshare services is their pricing model. A week ago I priced a hypothetical ride to LAX from Ventura on Uber and was quoted $111. The fine print though advised me that “actual fare may vary due to a number of factors including surge pricing.” Ah, the dreaded “surge pricing!”
I’d be curious to hear your experiences using Uber or Lyft to the airport. If the price ends up being in the range that I was quoted it’s a very good deal for private transportation. What was your experience with reliability in both directions? I’ll share your comments with readers in a future column.
OK, up to now we've talked about a stranger driving you to LAX. But surveys show that most people arrive in a private car whether driven by themselves or a friend. A friend? That must be a very good friend. Does anyone really enjoy entering that loop around the terminals? Ding Masters should open a concession at the far end.
If you take your own car I suggest using a website called CheapAirportParking.org that compares the rates of dozens of LAX parking lots. I find that no one facility is routinely the least expensive. A consolidator service allows you to specify between inside and outside parking and whether you want valet or self-park. You’ll also learn how frequently their shuttles run to the airport, and exactly how close the parking lot is to LAX.
If you're going on a longer trip where parking fees could add up to hundreds of dollars and you want to drive yourself to the airport you might want to leave your car in your garage and consider a one-day car rental in each direction. I’ve done this several times and found it quite convenient. However, rental car rates have skyrocketed lately. I used to be able to find $50 one-day one-way rental prices from Ventura County. Now it seems to be well over $100.
A third-party website is a good way to see which rental car company (if any) is really hungry for your business. Services like Kayak.com and CostcoTravel.com (if you are a member) are a good place to start.
One final option. If you’re willing to drive part of the way, park remotely, and then take a shuttle directly to your terminal there’s the FlyAway Bus (flylax.com/en/flyaway-bus) which departs from Van Nuys 24/7. Bonus: Driving only as far as the San Fernando Valley saves you from having to negotiate the maddening 405 Freeway. All that for a $19.50 roundtrip bus fare. In addition you get $5/day parking.
Folks often tell me that the most challenging part of their entire vacation is getting to LAX. Hopefully this will help give you some new ideas to ease the stress.

Go-broke dates pushed back for Social Security, Medicare
The time frame for Social Security and Medicare to go-broke has been pushed back, helped by a stronger-than-expected economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
The annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report says the Social Security trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2035, instead of last year's estimate of 2034.
The projected depletion date for Medicare’s trust fund for inpatient hospital care moved back two years to 2028 from last year’s forecast of 2026.

According to the report, "Economic recovery from the 2020 recession has been stronger and faster than assumed in last year’s reports, with positive effects on the projected actuarial status of the trust funds in these reports."
Forecasters said in the report that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have no net effect on their long-range projections.
SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS COULD SEE BIGGEST COST-OF-LIVING RAISE SINCE 1981
The assumptions for the latest report were made in February, which was before cases began climbing again and inflation rose even higher.
President Biden said in a statement that the report "shows that the strong economic recovery driven by my economic and vaccination plans has strengthened programs that millions of Americans rely on and has put our nation in a better fiscal position."
Social Security pays benefits to more than 65 million Americans, mainly retirees as well as disabled people and survivors of deceased workers. Medicare covers roughly 64 million older and disabled people.
SOCIAL SECURITY COST-OF-LIVING BOOST BEGINS: WHAT TO KNOW
A main source of financing for the programs is payroll taxes on earnings paid by employees and employers. About 183 million people paid those taxes in 2021.
Social Security retirees got a 5.9% boost in benefits this year, the biggest cost-of-living adjustment, also known as COLA, in 39 years.

Warning: Viewers may find the video above hard to watch, and NBC4 has edited it because of its sensitive nature.
MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) – Authorities have released bodycam and dashcam video Thursday from a deputy-involved shooting that left a man dead in Marysville.
According to Marysville police, someone called 911 around 6:30 p.m. Monday to report a man with a gun at their home. The Union County Sheriff’s Office has now identified the deputy who responded — seen in bodycam and dashcam video — as Jacob Matejko.
In the dashcam video, Matejko arrives at a home on Meadowlark Lane, spotting a white car with two women inside and a truck with a man inside. Matthew Todhunter, the man killed in the shooting, was inside the truck.
Matejko stopped, opened his car door, pulled out his handgun and told everyone at the scene to put their hands up, and that they had a report of a gun. In the bodycam video, both women got out of their car and put their hands up. One of them at the scene with Todhunter responded to the deputy about the report of a gun.
“He doesn’t have a gun,” the woman said.
In the videos, the deputy told Todhunter to put his hands up repeatedly, then told him to put his hands out. The deputy then told Todhunter three times to get out of the car.
The next moment in the video happened quickly. Todhunter got out of the car and pointed what appears to be a gun at the deputy. Within one second of telling Todhunter to drop the gun, Matejko fired at least five shots, dropping Todhunter to the ground.
After the shooting, the woman yelled at the deputy.
“It was a BB gun,” the woman said.
Emergency crews took Todhunter to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation took charge of handling the deputy-involved shooting, and Marysville police are handling the investigation of the original incident.
NBC4 asked BCI if they could confirm whether Todhunter was using a BB gun or a real firearm, but they could not answer, only saying the investigation remained active and ongoing. | https://www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/video-deputy-shoots-man-in-confrontation-near-columbus/ | 2022-06-03T19:52:17Z | https://www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/video-deputy-shoots-man-in-confrontation-near-columbus/ | true | 5 |
The Manhattan-Ogden school board on Wednesday set a price limit for several elementary school projects in the district, putting those projects over the 2018 bond estimates.
The board approved the maximum prices for multi-purpose rooms and gym spaces with electronic access locks for Bluemont, Ogden, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson elementary schools, and changed the maximum price for Northview Elementary School because of the price of the electronic locks.
For the elementary schools, the board approved the following:
• $2.6 million for Bluemont Elementary for the gym space, electronic locks, upgrades to the fire alarm system and a bus lane (additional $305,018 to the base bid);
• $1.76 million for Ogden Elementary for the gym, locks and fire alarm system (additional $208,261);
• $2.88 million for Theodore Roosevelt Elementary for the gym, locks, fire alarm system and changes to the siding (additional $163,342);
• $2.53 million for Woodrow Wilson for the gym, locks and fire alarm system (additional $217,049); and
• $2.37 million for Northview Elementary for locks (additional $148,358).
In approving the motion 5-0 — board members Brandy Santos and Jayme Morris-Hardeman were absent — the board approved going over on the projected amounts originally projected in the bond issue, by about $3.99 million, according to board president Curt Herrman. Assistant Superintendent Eric Reid said that the additional costs of the project will be paid for by the interest the bonds have received from investments since the district sold the bonds at one time.
“As COVID went in, we saw prices escalate,” he told the board. “The positive piece of that is most of the projects that we’ve had done already and the overages we’ve had in other projects have really evened out. The $3 million we’re over for the project piece for the building additions, we’re pulling out of earned interest, and dipping into some investments and returns.”
Reid said after the elementary schools, Manhattan High School East Campus and Robinson Education Center will be the last two buildings left for updates from the bond, so there is no reason to sit on the money from the bond investment funds.
Reid also said some of the change in costs comes from the Manhattan Fire Department, as the school district is adding enough square footage at these elementary schools that the district has to update the fire alert system.
Board member Kristin Brighton said that as a member of the facilities and growth committee, she felt comfortable approving the cost.
“We looked at where to cut,” she said. “There was blood, sweat and tears, especially from the engineers, to get it as close as possible to the budget.”
At the meeting, the board also approved the following:
- Buying study skills services with Guaranteed 4.0 Learning Systems of Dallas, Texas, for $13,000;
- Buying Cisco Secure Endpoint AMP product from k12itc of Kansas City, Missouri, for $25,845; and
- Contract extensions for administrators, including principals and vice principals across the district and Patricia Brooke-Fruendt, who serves as the Construction Owners Representative for the school district. | https://themercury.com/news/education/usd-383-approves-elementary-gym-spaces-locks/article_1c20a338-a910-516f-904c-0c6f080ecd3b.html | 2022-06-03T19:57:05Z | https://themercury.com/news/education/usd-383-approves-elementary-gym-spaces-locks/article_1c20a338-a910-516f-904c-0c6f080ecd3b.html | true | 1 |

Jeff Van Gundy Disputes Reason He Was Left Off Game 1 NBA Finals Coverage
Former NBA head coach Jeff Van Gundy was one of several late scratches to ESPN's NBA Finals coverage last night. But the NBA analyst is disputing the reason why he was left out.
On Thursday, an ESPN spokesperson told the New York Times that Van Gundy and Mike Breen both tested positive for COVID-19. Van Gundy and Breen were replaced by Mark Jones and Lisa Salters.
According to Sopan Deb of the New York Times, Van Gundy told him that the coronavirus wasn't an issue. He said that his first test was inconclusive and that two subsequent rapid tests were negative.
That isn't to say that ESPN didn't have cause for concern. Earlier in the week Van Gundy had been showing slight symptoms for the dangerous virus.
But he made it clear that he is no longer experiencing any symptoms.
It's possible that ESPN is simply taking no chances with their on-screen and on-set talent for the duration of the NBA Finals.
NBA reporters Adrian Wojnarowski and Kendra Andrews both recent tested positive for COVID-19 and were left out of the Game 1 coverage.
ESPN leaving out Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen might have been a case of better safe than sorry.
It's not like ESPN doesn't have enough on-air talent to fill the void even if they're both unavailable anyway.

For the first time in history, the world is facing an international outbreak of monkeypox. Doctors have detected nearly 800 cases across the globe, from Argentina to the United Arab Emirates. The U.K. and Portugal have detected the most cases, with about 200 and 100 cases in each country, respectively. The U.S. has recorded 21 cases and Canada has 58.
Such a broad geographic spread suggests "widespread human-to-human transmission is currently underway," said Dr. Maria van Kerkhove, with the World Health Organization, on Thursday. This transmission has "likely been ongoing for several weeks, if not months," she noted.
Two studies, published Thursday, demonstrate the virus is spreading, undetected, in some communities of Portugal and the U.K. — because, by and large, the cases are not linked to each other or linked to a common place or activity. So health officials don't know where people are catching it, and many cases aren't being diagnosed, the scientists conclude.
Here in the U.S., officials don't know where one of the cases caught monkeypox. "There could be community level transmission that is happening. And that's why we want to really increase our surveillance efforts," Jennifer McQuiston, who's deputy director of the Division of High Consequence Pathogens and Pathology at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday. "I want to emphasize that this could be happening in other parts of the United States."
This gap in detection may be because the symptoms of monkeypox in this outbreak can be much more subtle than in past cases.
As a result, health officials are asking health-care workers – and individuals who may have been exposed – to be on the lookout for signs of monkeypox, especially signs of a rash.
But what does that rash often look like? Turns out, it's not what medical textbooks show, says infectious disease doctor Donald Vinh at McGill University. Those images depict people with their trunk or hands covered with pus-filled blisters. What's happening in this outbreak can be much more subtle, Vinh and other doctors involved with the outbreak say.
In fact, some patients have only one or two small lesions that can easily be confused with lesions caused by several sexually transmitted diseases, such as herpes and syphilis.
"I think that's actually supercritical," Vinh says, "Because you can see how these patients can be missed. But they are still contagious and may propagate the disease."
Vinh has been helping to treat 5 people with monkeypox at McGill University Health Centre in Montreal. The outbreak in that city includes at least 50 cases, he says.
Just Thursday morning, a colleague called to discuss a patient, newly diagnosed with monkeypox, who had only one lesion.
"The patient's skin lesion that he sampled to confirm the diagnosis is extremely subtle. It's not what you're seeing on the Google pictures of monkeypox," he says.
In textbooks (and on many agency websites), monkeypox is described as a disease that begins with flu-like symptoms, including a fever, tiredness and a single swollen lymph node. Then about a week later, a rash appears, first on the face and then on the extremities. This rash contains painful blisters that eventually fill with pus and crust over. Eventually it can cover the trunk or whole body.
"So in the classic monkeypox, described in textbooks, you're supposed to have two phases," Vinh says.
But in this current outbreak, many people's symptoms don't fit this profile at all, say Vinh and several doctors involved with these cases.
For starters, the rash often isn't on the face or extremities at all. Instead, it typically begins on the genitals or the anus. And sometimes it doesn't spread to other parts of the body.
"You don't have head-to-toe skin pox lesions," Vinh says. "Instead it's localized to just one region of the body, like the genital regions. And some people have just one or two pox. So it's not numerous."
"Sometimes it's not even a pox," he says, "but rather an ulcer or a crater."
But even if only a small part of the body is affected, monkeypox isn't necessarily a mild illness. "The rash can be really painful, and some patients have reported needing prescription pain medicine to manage that pain," says the CDC's Jennifer McQuiston. "The sores can also cause long term scarring on the skin."
And what about those flu-like symptoms? Sometimes they don't appear at all, Vinh and other doctors have found. Or they can appear after the skin lesions appear. Sometimes patients have a single swollen lymph node and sometimes they don't. Some patients have inflammation of the rectum, infectious disease specialist Agam Rao, with the CDC, told JAMA.
At one clinic in Montreal, a patient with monkeypox had one tiny lesion on his penis which wasn't painful: "Never had other rash/lesion elsewhere. Never had [a] fever, " Dr. Sebastien Poulin, of the Clinique l'Agora, explained on Twitter.
"The bottom line of this tweet will be; «We must have a high index of suspicion for 'atypical' MonkeyPox cases»" he wrote.
Given this broad range of symptoms, health officials in the U.K. are casting a wide net when it comes to looking for new cases. They're asking people to be on the onlook any type of rash.
"The risk to the UK population remains low, but we are asking people to be alert to any new rashes or lesions, which would appear like spots, ulcers or blisters, on any part of their body," the agency wrote Tuesday.
"Although this advice applies to everyone, the majority of the cases identified to date have been among men who are gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men, so we are asking these people in particular to be aware of the symptoms, particularly if they have recently had a new sexual partner."
In general, monkeypox spreads primarily through close contact with an infected person, including contact with the rash or skin lesions. That contact can occur during sex, epidemiologist Mateo Prochazka explained on a Facebook video last week. Prochazka consults for the U.K. Health Security Agency and identifies as a gay man.
"Because of the way we have contact with one another during sex, usually skin to skin for a period of time, the risk of transmitting the virus to each other is higher," he said. "And that means that gay men, especially gay men that have intense sexual networks, might be seeing an increase in these cases just because of their potential behavior and the number of contacts they have.
"So it's less about sexual identity and more about sexual networks," he added.
Although surveillance, so far, has focused on men who have sex with men, countries are now broadening the scope of their search, said the WHO's Dr. Maria van Kerkhove. "We should say, so far, that surveillance is biased toward [men who have sex with men] at the moment, and we are working with countries to expand that surveillance to other types of clinics, ID clinics, emergency departments."

If you suffer from aches and pains, including lower back pain and menstrual cramps, that keep you tied to a heating pad, you may want to consider purchasing a cordless heating pad, like this Yeamon Portable Cordless Heating Pad on Amazon that also offers a massage setting for extra pain relief. Oh, and it’s marked down right now!
This top-rated cordless heating pad uses USB charging and has three different adjustable temperatures and three different massage modes. The back of the heating pad has a soft contact surface so it feels nice on your skin, but Yeamon suggests putting it over your clothes if you don’t want too much heat. It also comes in seven colors including pink, blue, orange and red.
The waistband is adjustable up to 50 inches and because it straps on, you can use it even while moving around. Because of its small size, you can also take it to go and use it while driving or at work. The heating pad automatically shuts off after 30 minutes if it does not detect movement, so you do not have to worry about falling asleep while using it.
Regularly priced at $50, several colors of this portable heating pad are currently 40% off, making it $30 on Amazon (the other colors are still 36% off, or $32). You can then clip a 10% off coupon at checkout, bringing the total to $27 for a total savings of $23 off the list price.
With more than 4,600 reviews so far, the Yeamon Portable Cordless Heating Pad has almost 3,000 5-star reviews and an overall score of 4.3 out of 5 stars. Customers say it has great battery life, is easy to use and works well for both menstrual cramps and back pain. Some customers have even called it a “game changer” and “life saver.”
One reviewer who gave the heating pad a perfect grade titled their review, “Wow,” and said they were blown away by how well the heating pad works, but they cautioned that if you need it for all-day relief, you may still want to keep a plug-in heating pad around.
“I’ve always used the conventional heating pad but this product truly stands on its own for mobility and comfort! It is small and lightweight and I can wear it out when errands/activities must be done,” they wrote. “I will also state, this does not replace my corded heating pad as the battery life of this product is only a few hours (if you don’t use the vibration) so for those extra hard days of painful cramps that leave you at home for hours upon hours, I would not recommend this product.”
Another five-star reviewer, who said they battle severe cramp pain, said the heating pad is “the best product ever.”
“This product is amazing!! Let me first tell you, I have such horrific cramps every month due to fibroids and an ovarian cyst. I also have terrible [irritable bowel syndrome], and this little powerful gadget helps tremendously with both painful situations,” they wrote. “A life-saver for anyone who lives with pain.”
On the other hand, the negative reviews have complained that the heating pad actually gets too hot for their preference and some buyers have also said the battery does not last as long as they need it to.
While it is a pricier option, this GoHeat Cordless Sunbeam Heating Pad also has a high rating at Amazon, with more than 1,100 five-star reviews. and an overall score of 4.3 stars out of 5. Priced at $70, the heating pad has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that runs for up to four hours on a single charge, but can also be plugged into a wall outlet while being used.
Measuring 9 1/2 inches by 12 inches, it has a removable, adjustable strap that fits up to 55 inches around. This machine-washable heating pad heats up within 30 seconds and has three heat settings, according to Sunbeam.
Amazon’s Top-Rated Heating Pad
Don’t mind being tethered to a power outlet? The highest-rated heating pad on Amazon is this corded Mighty Bliss Electric Heating Pad, which has more than 83,000 perfect reviews. (It’s currently unavailable, unfortunately — perhaps because it’s so popular?)
The Mighty Bliss heating pad comes in L or XL sizes and is made of soft microplush fibers. It has three heat settings and an auto-protection feature to prevent overheating.
If you’ve got an older heating pad, it may be time to upgrade it with one that has automatic safety features, like the ones shown here. State Farm recommends replacing any electric blanket that’s at least 10 years old, even if it still works, to avoid a potential fire hazard.

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.
“Jennifer embodies everything about the Generation Award,” executive producers Wendy Plaut and Vanessa WhiteWolf said in a statement. “As a woman who does it all — in the acting, singing, dancing, producing, fashion and beauty realms — Jennifer Lopez is a timeless icon who’s made a lasting impact on film, TV, music and culture.”
Lopez’s 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 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.ourquadcities.com/entertainment-news/jennifer-lopez-to-receive-honor-at-mtv-movie-tv-awards/ | 2022-06-03T20:18:18Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/entertainment-news/jennifer-lopez-to-receive-honor-at-mtv-movie-tv-awards/ | false | 42 |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Two U.N. peacekeepers were killed Friday when their armored personnel carrier hit an improvised explosive device in central Mali in the sixth incident in less than two weeks targeting the U.N. mission in the West African nation that has faced a decade-long Islamic insurgency.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the device that killed the Egyptian peacekeepers and wounded two others was planted on a road outside the town of Douentza in the Mopti region.
Their APC was escorting a civilian convoy and was on its way from Douentza to Timbuktu when it hit the device, he said.
“The intent is to disrupt the lives of the Malian people, to disrupt transport, to disrupt security,” Dujarric said. “These roads are used by civilians, civilian trucks, civilian buses, but also by the security forces, whether it’s the Malian army or U.N. peacekeepers … (who) have been victims over and over again of improvised explosive devices.”
It was the sixth incident in which a U.N. peacekeeping mission convoy was hit since May 22 and the second fatal attack on a convoy this week, the U.N. spokesman said.
A U.N. peacekeeping convoy was attacked by suspected terrorists in the northern Kidal region on Wednesday and a Jordanian peacekeeper was killed and three other Jordanians were wounded. Dujarric said the supply convoy came under sustained fire for about an hour from attackers who used small arms and rocket launchers.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the latest attack against the 18,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali whose primary mandate is to protect civilians.
Mali has struggled to contain an Islamic extremist insurgency since 2012. Extremist rebels were forced from power in Mali’s northern cities with the help of a French-led military operation, but they regrouped in the desert and began launching attacks on the Malian army and its allies. Insecurity has worsened with attacks in the northern and central regions on civilians and U.N. peacekeepers.
The U.N. mission says over 255 of its peacekeepers and personnel have died since 2013, making Mali the deadliest of the U.N.’s dozen peacekeeping missions worldwide.
“The word grateful isn’t strong enough to express how we feel towards those member states which continue to provide many peacekeepers around the world,” Dujarric said. “Egyptians, Jordanians, Chadians and others have given their lives for the people of Mali for the cause of peace and we’re eternally grateful for their continued support.”
The head of the U.N. mission in Mali, El Ghassim Wane, condemned Friday’s attack on the U.N. convoy, and an attack Wednesday near Kayes in western Mali on Wednesday by gunmen riding motorcycles against a vehicle marked with the Red Cross emblem that killed a worker for the Dutch Red Cross and the car’s driver. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/2-un-peacekeepers-killed-in-6th-incident-in-mali-in-2-weeks/ | 2022-06-03T20:20:18Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/2-un-peacekeepers-killed-in-6th-incident-in-mali-in-2-weeks/ | false | 14 |

Home Depot in Colorado Springs evacuated so police could capture a stolen vehicle suspect
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - A Home Depot in Colorado Springs was evacuated on Friday as police were searching for a suspect.
The evacuation took place just before 1:30 p.m. at the store just south of E. Platte Avenue and to the west of N. Academy Boulevard, 102 N. Academy Boulevard.
The public was asked to avoid the area for about 30 minutes before the evacuation was lifted.
Police tell 11 News the incident started when detectives spotted a stolen vehicle in the area. When officers tried to pull the driver over, they fled. The suspect driver eventually ditched the vehicle and ran on foot with a passenger. One of them was caught immediately. The second suspect ran into the Home Depot. After clearing the store, police were able to locate the second suspect and take that person into custody.
Charges are pending for both suspects. Neither had been publicly identified last time this article was updated.

A climate activist wearing a T-shirt with the message “We have 1028 days left” interrupted the French Open men's semifinal between Marin Cilic and Casper Ruud by attaching herself to the net and kneeling on the court.
Play was delayed for more than 10 minutes during a game with Ruud serving in the third set while leading 3-6, 6-4, 4-1, 15-all.
Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo looked on from near the entrance to the court and both players left while the protester was carried away by four security guards.
Eventually, Ruud and Cilic returned and were given three minutes to warm up before resuming their semifinal.
The winner of the match will face 13-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final.
There have been other episodes involving people interrupting matches at Court Philippe Chatrier over the years.
During the 2013 men's final, a topless man carrying a fiery flare jumped onto the court. At the 2009 final, a man went up to Roger Federer and tried to put a hat on his head. At the 2003 final, a male streaker hurdled the net. | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/we-have-1028-days-left-climate-activist-interrupts-mens-semifinal-at-french-open | 2022-06-03T20:45:12Z | https://www.tv20detroit.com/news/national/we-have-1028-days-left-climate-activist-interrupts-mens-semifinal-at-french-open | true | 10 |
Catoosa County Public Schools Superintendent Charles Nix said in a recent interview that children have suffered serious setbacks both academically and socially from two years of pandemic effects.
Parents and grandparents are in a special position to help children regain lost ground and summer is a great time to do it. Here are some ideas drawn from local educators, parents and others.
Mr. Nix, in his interview, recommended three books he thought every child should read. They differ widely on reading level, but most children will enjoy them in one way or another.
“The Cat in the Hat” by Dr. Seuss. Read it to children, let them read it to you, take turns reading parts aloud. Older kids can read it to younger kids. This book is so fun, it’s a great repeat. Aim to do it better every time.
“Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White. This children’s classic is a delightful story and a good read-aloud. Help younger children to master reading segments out loud. Older children and teens can hone reading skills by reading it aloud to younger kids – or even the family pets. After the book, watch the 2006 movie version of it or one of the animated versions and discuss the differences.
“The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkein. This is a great book for middle and high schoolers to get lost in – adventure, danger, humor, scary creatures, battles, it’s all there. Before Harry Potter, there was this book, which leads to the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy – more excellent reading for children.
All this leads to thousands of other good books, which leads to the many good libraries in Catoosa and Walker counties where they can be found in print and as audios.
Speaking of libraries – what amazing places! You can go every week, every day, stay as long as you like, and it’s all free. You can meet others at the library. Think kids’ book clubs (start one yourself) or coloring clubs.
Libraries all have summer reading programs for kids, as well as story hours and many special activities. Google your county or city and the word library.
Start a kids’ club for your kids and their friends or siblings and cousins. What better way to improve communications and social skills. Kids can put on skits, listen to books on tape, read to each other, do art projects and all sorts of other things.
Turn off the TV and devices. Fun as they may be, teachers agree that they deaden imagination, reduce academic achievement and quash social skills. Many studies say they contribute to depression, isolation, bullying and worse.
Get out into the community. Take the kiddos to parks, playgrounds, museums and other attractions.
Don’t forget math. The opportunities are endless, from using workbooks that can be found in many retail stores to having kids work out real life math problems (if the pool holds 150 gallons, how many quarts does it hold, double or halve recipes, make a budget).
Board games. This is a great way to cover academic skills and social skills.
Invite someone interesting over to share about their experiences. Encourage the kids to ask them questions.
Help kids write and illustrate homemade books.
The possibilities are endless. All that’s needed is dedicated grownups. | https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/helping-kids-make-a-comeback-after-pandemic/article_cac11c10-e30c-11ec-975b-7b11998ae6f6.html | 2022-06-03T20:55:01Z | https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/helping-kids-make-a-comeback-after-pandemic/article_cac11c10-e30c-11ec-975b-7b11998ae6f6.html | false | 2 |

Nissan Magnite reaches 1 lakh bookings milestone in India
Nissan has achieved the coveted one lakh bookings milestone in India with its Magnite compact SUV. It took the brand a while to reach the mark, even after a solid start post-launch. However, this achievement puts the Japanese automaker back on the radar after a long time. The four-wheeler gets an aggressive look with modern touches and is offered with two petrol engine options.
- Nissan is known globally for its performance-oriented sports cars and reliable sedans and SUVs.
- However, the Japanese automaker was not able to replicate its success in India's competitive and highly price-sensitive market.
- The Magnite has single-handedly brought the company back into the spotlight, with buyers looking for a modern alternative to the aging Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai VENUE.
The Nissan Magnite has a sculpted bonnet, a large grille with chrome surrounds, a silvered skid plate, and swept-back LED headlights with bumper-mounted L-shaped DRLs. On the side, it is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 16-inch designer alloy wheels. Wrap-around LED taillights, a roof-mounted antenna, and a wiper with a washer are available at the rear of the SUV.
The Nissan Magnite is fueled by a 1.0-liter petrol engine that generates 71hp/96Nm and a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol motor offered in two states of tune: 98.63hp/160Nm and 98.63hp/152Nm. The mills are mated to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox.
On the inside, the Nissan Magnite features a five-seater cabin with a minimalist dashboard, key-less entry and start function, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, and a multifunctional steering wheel.

Press Democrat season-ending softball rankings: Rancho Cotate, Petaluma finish as top teams
1. Rancho Cotate (18-7)
Previous ranking: 1
Since last ranking: Beat Alameda 5-4 and lost to American Canyon 11-6 in the North Coast Section Division 2 playoffs.
2. Petaluma (12-10)
Previous ranking: 2
Since last ranking: Lost to Alhambra 8-2 in the first round of the NCS Division 2 playoffs.
3. Casa Grande (11-10)
Previous ranking: 3
Since last ranking: Beat Windsor 8-7 and lost to top-seeded Livermore 4-0 in the NCS Division 2 playoffs.
4. Maria Carrillo (14-11)
Previous ranking: 6
Since last ranking: Advanced to the semifinals of the NCS Division 3 playoffs. Beat Piner 12-2 and Albany 10-3 before losing to top-seeded Eureka 5-0.
5. Cardinal Newman (15-14)
Previous ranking: 4
Since last ranking: Advanced to the semifinals of the NCS Division 4 playoffs. Beat Lick-Wilmerding 17-0 and Piedmont 9-0 before losing to top-seeded McKinleyville 2-1.
6. Windsor (16-10)
Previous ranking: 5
Since last ranking: Lost to Casa Grande 8-7 in the first round of the NCS Division 2 playoffs.
7. St. Vincent (21-7)
Previous ranking: 7
Since last ranking: Beat Hercules 11-0 and lost to Fort Bragg 3-2 in the NCS Division 4 playoffs.
8. West County (8-17)
Previous ranking: 8
Since last ranking: Lost to Kennedy 8-5 in the first round of the NCS Division 3 playoffs.
No. 9 Ukiah (16-9)
Previous ranking: 9
Since last ranking: Lost to top-seeded Livermore 11-0 in the first round of the NCS Division 2 playoffs.
No. 10 Cloverdale (12-9)
Previous ranking: 10
Since last ranking: Lost to Fortuna 5-1 in the first round of the NCS Division 4 playoffs.
Local softball teams did not get any easier to rank after the NCS playoffs.
Outside of clear-cut No. 1 Rancho Cotate, spots No. 2-5 could have been rearranged in any order.
While Petaluma had a first-round exit, it stays at No. 2 because of head-to-head wins over Cardinal Newman (12-3), Windsor (14-5) and two over Casa Grande (9-5, 8-7). Casa Grande’s strength of schedule (close losses to Marin Catholic, 2-0, Petaluma, 8-7, Benicia, 5-2, and American Canyon, 3-1) indicates that it might be better than its near-.500 record would let on. The Gauchos also have wins over Cardinal Newman (9-6) and Windsor (8-7).
The most difficult choices were for spots No. 4 and No. 5.
Cardinal Newman had a great postseason run, advancing to the semifinals of the NCS Division 4 playoffs and coming three outs away from upsetting top-seeded McKinleyville. While normally a stretch like that would mean a jump in the rankings, the Cardinals actually fall a spot due to Maria Carrillo moving up.
The Pumas advanced to the semis of the NCS Division 3 playoffs, but what really gives them the advantage over the Cardinals is two head-to-head wins (3-2 and 10-0). While the Cardinals did beat the Pumas 7-6 in their final meeting, those other two results, coupled with the Pumas’ equally deep playoff run, mean Maria Carrillo ends the year as our No. 4 team.

Which Home Depot pole saw is best?
If you find yourself wishing for longer arms when that dead limb is just out of reach, it may be time to upgrade your equipment. Home Depot offers a wide variety of pole saws for every level of experience and intensity of use.
When you are serious about maintaining order and a proper pruning schedule, or if you have a large property to maintain, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Pole Saw With Attachment is a good choice.
What to know before you buy a Home Depot pole saw
Pole saw power source
Home Depot offers pole saws with four options for power.
- Gas: Traditionally used by professional landscapers and tree services, gas pole saws are durable and able to handle most jobs. However, they are more expensive and heavy.
- Electric: In terms of environmental benefits, electric pole saws win the day. They plug into an outlet and are quiet, lightweight and easy to operate. However, they may not have enough power, and you are limited by the length of the cord.
- Battery: Battery-powered saws combine some of the best benefits of each category. They are a bit heavier than electric and manual saws, but not quite as heavy as those that use gas. They are more affordable, especially if you buy the same brand of battery-powered yard tools and can swap batteries among them. However, some of them have an insubstantial battery life.
- Manual: Manual pole saws are lightweight and affordable, but it can be challenging to cut larger branches or limbs.
Type of work
Homeowners and professional landscapers need different tools. Homeowners are looking to clean up a few trees, while landscapers run across thousands in their weekly jobs. With a dedicated Pro desk, Home Depot has pole saws that cater to both.
Bar length
Because you are operating the pole saw at a distance from your center of gravity, the bar length matters. Too long, and you won’t be able to reliably direct the operation, but too short and you are limited in the width of branches or limbs you can cut.
To get a good idea of your needs, take the length of the cutting bar and divide it in half. That’s about the maximum width branch you can cut with your pole saw. This number increases as the pole gets shorter. But because you have less leverage when the pole is extended, cutting capacity is less.
What to look for in a quality Home Depot pole saw
Operating instructions
In addition to providing operating instructions in the box, many Home Depot locations offer classes in everything from pruning and removing brush to making firewood from downed trees.
Easy operation
A pole saw requires oil for the bar and tension to be maintained for safe operation. Most Home Depot pole saws feature automatic oilers and easy-to-access chain tensioners. These let you get the job done with fewer breaks.
Warranties and returns
Home Depot knows your tools need to work hard. The vast majority of their product lines come with limited warranties guaranteed against workmanship or manufacturing defects.
Additionally, with just a few exceptions, Home Depot accepts returns of new and unopened merchandise for 90 days with a receipt. Don’t have a receipt? An associate may be able to find your purchase on their computer to refund your original payment method, If not, you can still make the return for store credit.
How much you can expect to spend on a Home Depot pole saw
Prices vary depending on what type of power you select and whether or not a battery or other accessories are included with the tool. Expect to spend $100-$500.
Home Depot pole saw FAQ
What is the maximum extended length of a pole saw?
A. It depends on the type of saw you select. Professional models can extend an additional 10-13 feet past their initial length.
Is there a trick to using a pole saw?
A. As with anything, more practice increases your skill.
- The longer the extension, the harder it is to cut.
- The thicker the limb, the more tiring cutting will be.
- Never use a pole saw near power lines.
- Clear a work area underneath where you’ll be cutting.
- Make sure a helper is nearby.
- Position yourself so that the branch you are cutting is as close to chest height as possible. Never cut while underneath a branch.
- Start by cutting a small groove, then use a rhythmic motion to complete the cut.
- When in doubt, ask for help or hire a professional.

NEW DELHI, June 3: The Supreme Court on Friday directed that national parks and wildlife sanctuaries must have an Eco Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of minimum one km from the demarcated boundary of a protected forest.
A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao, B R Gavai and A S Bopanna said mining within the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries shall not be permitted.
No permanent structure will be allowed within the ESZ, it added.
The top court also directed the Chief Conservator of Forests of all states and UTs to prepare a list of existing structures within the ESZs and submit a report to it within a period of three months.
“For this purpose, such authorities can take assistance from governmental agencies for satellite imaging or photography using drones,” the bench said.
The direction came on a pending PIL, titled as T N Godavarman versus UOI, about issues including forest preservation.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers are maintaining close ties with al-Qaida as they consolidate control over the country, and their main military threat is coming from the Islamic State extremist group and guerrilla-style attacks by former Afghan government security personnel, U.N. experts said in a new report.
The experts said in the report to the U.N. Security Council that with the onset of better weather, fighting may escalate as both Islamic State and resistance forces undertake operations against Taliban forces.
But neither IS nor al-Qaida “is believed to be capable of mounting international attacks before 2023 at the earliest, regardless of their intent or of whether the Taliban acts to restrain them,” the panel of experts said.
Nonetheless, it said the presence of IS, al-Qaida, and “many other terrorist groups and fighters on Afghan soil” is raising concerns in neighboring countries and the wider international community.
Since their takeover of Afghanistan last Aug. 15 as U.S. and NATO forces were in the final stages of their chaotic withdrawal from the country after 20 years, the Taliban “have favored loyalty and seniority over competence, and their decision-making has been opaque and inconsistent,” the experts said.
In the report obtained Thursday, the panel monitoring sanctions against the Taliban said its leaders have appointed 41 men on the U.N. sanctions blacklist to the Cabinet and senior positions, and they have favored the country’s dominant Pashtun ethnic group, alienating minority communities including ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks.
The Taliban’s primary concern has been to consolidate control “while seeking international recognition, to re-engage with the international financial system and to receive aid in order to deal with the growing economic and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan,” the experts said.
“Since taking power, however, there have been many factors creating internal tensions within the movement, leading to perceptions that the Taliban’s governance has been chaotic, disjointed and prone to reversing policies and going back on promises.,” they said.
As the Taliban struggle to transition from an insurgency to a governing body, they have been divided between pragmatists and hardliners who have gained the upper hand and want to turn the clock back to the group’s harsh rule from 1996 until December 2001, when they were ousted from power by U.S. forces following the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
To date, their efforts to win recognition and aid from Western nations have floundered, largely because they have not formed a more representative government, and have restricted the rights of girls to education beyond elementary school, and of women to work and travel without a male relative’s oversight.
“The central dilemma is how a movement with an inflexible ideology can engage with a society that has evolved during the past 20 years,” the experts said. “Further stresses revolve around power, resources, and regional and ethnic divisions.”
Despite these serious issues, the panel said the Taliban “appear confident in their ability to control the country and `wait out’ the international community to obtain eventual recognition of their government.”
“They assess that, even if they make no significant concessions, the international community will ultimately recognize them as the government of Afghanistan, especially in the absence of a government in exile or significant internal resistance,” the experts said.
So far, not a single country has officially recognized the Taliban, and there is growing international anger at its treatment of girls and women and its failure to keep its promise of forming an inclusive government. There are also concerns about the Taliban’s inability to keep its promise not to allow terrorist groups to operate in Afghanistan.
The panel said the Haqqani Network, a militant Islamist group with close ties to the Taliban, moved quickly after their takeover to gain control of key portfolios and ministries including interior, intelligence, passports and migration. It now “largely controls security in Afghanistan, including the security of the capital, Kabul,” the experts said.
“The Haqqani Network is still regarded as having the closest links to al-Qaida,” the panel said, and the relationship between the Taliban and al-Qaida also remains close. The experts pointed to the reported presence of al-Qaida’s “core leadership” in eastern Afghanistan including its leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
To counter the Islamic State, the report quoted an unidentified country as saying the Taliban have created three battalions of special forces called “red units.”
The emergence of the National Resistance Front and Afghanistan Freedom Front comprising former Afghan security personnel “has led the Taliban to adopt aggressive measures against populations suspected of supporting anti-Taliban operations,” the panel said.
In April, it said National Resistance Front forces stepped up operations in Badakhshan, Baghlan, Jowzjan, Kunduz, Panjshir, Takhar and Samangan provinces.
The Afghan Freedom Front, which only emerged recently, “has also claimed several attacks on Taliban bases in Badakhshan, Kandahar, Parwan and Samangan,” the experts said.
“Taliban forces may be hard pressed to counter several insurgencies simultaneously,” they said. | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/un-taliban-faces-threat-from-islamic-state-new-resistance/ | 2022-06-03T21:05:27Z | https://www.localdvm.com/news/us-and-world/ap-international/un-taliban-faces-threat-from-islamic-state-new-resistance/ | false | 33 |

New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has refuted the US State Department's 2021 Report on International Religious Freedom, and said that India values religious freedom and human rights.
MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said:
"We have noted the release of the US State Department's 2021 Report on International Religious Freedom, and the ill-informed comments by senior US officials. It is unfortunate that vote bank politics is being practised in international relations. We would urge that assessments based on motivated inputs and biased views be avoided."
"As a naturally pluralistic society, India values religious freedom and human rights. In our discussions with the US, we have regularly highlighted issues of concern there, including racially and ethnically motivated attacks, hate crimes and gun violence."
The US State Department's report describes the status of religious freedom in every country. The report covers government policies violating religious belief and practices of groups, religious denominations and individuals, and US policies to promote religious freedom around the world.
Releasing the report, US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said:
"For example, in India, the world's largest democracy and home to a great diversity of faiths, we've seen rising attacks on people and places of worship; in Vietnam, where authorities harass members of unregistered religious communities; in Nigeria, where several state governments are using anti-defamation and blasphemy laws to punish people for expressing their beliefs."

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (WKRG) — For the month of May WKRG News 5 honors an Orange Beach Firefighter who has two jobs serving the public with our Smiles Behind the Shield award.
When Stephen Lee isn’t working with Orange Beach Fire Rescue, he’s at South Baldwin Emergency Medical Center saving lives as a nurse.
Lee told WKRG News 5, his job at South Baldwin Emergency Medical Center is what he does to further his career. When our Smiles Behind the Shield team stopped by, he was working on his skills.
We asked Lee why he chose this path of service. “My uncle and my older brother started it. My uncle is a district chief down in Del Ray,’ said Lee. “My brother went up under him, so I guess I just followed suit. It’s been an awesome career since then.”
Lee said his career is not slowing down any time soon.
“I guess it’s for the one call that we do make a difference on,” said Lee. “It kind of helps all of us out on that, or makes us happy for what we do.”
Sometimes our team surprises the first responder with our Smiles Behind the Shield award. We may not have surprised Lee with the award itself this month, but he was caught off guard when he found out who made his nomination. “Ashli’s my girlfriend. She’s a great woman,” said Lee. “And I can’t believe she did that, and I’m definitely going to have to get her back.”
For the month of May, WKRG News 5 honors Orange Beach Firefighter Stephen Lee our Smiles Behind the Shield Award for helping the community around the clock. | https://www.wkrg.com/smiles-behind-the-shield/smiles-behind-the-shield-orange-beach-firefighter-saves-lives-around-the-clock/ | 2022-06-03T21:15:47Z | https://www.wkrg.com/smiles-behind-the-shield/smiles-behind-the-shield-orange-beach-firefighter-saves-lives-around-the-clock/ | false | 1 |
