Elderly pilgrim swept away by strong currents of Bhagirathi
- Country:
- India
A 60-year-old man from Madhya Pradesh was swept away on Saturday by the swift currents of the Bhagirathi river while bathing in it at Gangotri.
Balkrishna was bathing in the Bhagirathi in the presence of his sister and brother when he was washed away by the strong currents of the river, Uttarkashi District Disaster Management Officer Devendra Patwal said.
A search operation has been launched to find him, he said.
The family had come to Gangotri after a pilgrimage to Yamunotri when the tragic incident occurred, Patwal said.
The pilgrim is said to have been mentally unwell.
Meanwhile, Gangotri temple priest Ravindra Semwal has demanded construction of banks on either side of the river for the safety of pilgrims.

England are back in international action on Saturday as they gear up to face Hungary in their UEFA Nations League opener.
It's the third meeting between the two sides within the space of a year as the two nations went head-to-head in the World Cup qualifiers. Last time out, neither side could be separated as they played out a 1-1 draw in a game marred by crowd disturbances.
Saturday's trip to the Puskas Arena kicks off a stint of four games in 11 days for the Three Lions as they look to gather momentum ahead of November's World Cup in Qatar. Gareth Southgate's side have put their Euro 2020 final disappointment behind them and are unbeaten since their penalty heartache against Italy, last summer.

The last time England visited Hungary, they ran out 4-0 winners thanks to four second-half goals from Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice. This time around, Luke Shaw missed out through injury as James Justin is in line for his first cap after receiving his maiden call-up to the fold alongside Jarrod Bowen after an impressive campaign with their respective sides.
Fikayo Tomori also continued his meteoric rise in the estimations of Southgate, just weeks after winning Serie A with AC Milan. Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to training this week after he had extended leave from the international set-up as he featured in Liverpool's Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.
What TV channel is Hungary v England on?
Sky Sports didn't renew their coverage in the Nations League allowing for Channel 4 to create their own football coverage. The match will be televised on Channel 4 from 4:15pm. You can also live stream the match via All 4 on a range of devices including laptops, smartphones and tablets with kick-off at 5pm.
Jules Breach will be presenting the brand new coverage. Michael Owen, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole and former England Women's internationals Jordan Nobbs and Eni Aluko will be providing their analysis and reaction for the upcoming fixtures. | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hungary-england-tv-live-stream-24130079 | 2022-06-04T10:31:07Z | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hungary-england-tv-live-stream-24130079 | false | 1 |
As bullets tear through the flesh of multiple victims at a time, the first thought to cross the minds of ordinary soles is “MONSTER!!!”
But, the big elephant in the room no one is mentioning is that America’s socio-economic dog-eat-dog system of survival and inveterate history of racism/classism creates degenerates unsympathetic to the plight of others, and apathetic to the well-being of their fellow men--especially exacerbated during times of national/global systematic hardship and breakdown.
These “MONSTERS” are bitter...and want “righteous revenge” for “unfair treatment” received from their “enemies”--the ones competing against them economically, socially, politically, or who just bullied them in the wrong period of their psychological crisis.
This society preaches brotherhood, yet is geared toward human disconnection—”personal responsibility, self-reliance.” Yet we are always essentially dependent upon each other—because we all affect the overall systematic atmosphere we inhabit as a species.
Until the resources of the globe are distributed equitably and progressively, until collective survival and well-being is promoted over individual gain and survival...AND until we ALL decide we are indeed brethren...there will NEVER be peace...no matter how much gun regulation is in place...no matter how many guns are in the hands of the “right kind people.”

Will Gabe Davis take fantasy value away from Stefon Diggs?
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Buffalo BillsLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
In the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, Liz Loza and Matt Harmon look at the fantasy winners from the 2022 offseason.
Video Transcript
[CHEERING]
MATT HARMON: In a way, I know that Gabe Davis is going to find his way in a lot of these offseason winner lists because the Bills didn't add another big-time receiver. They added Jamison Crowder, who I think is a decent sleeper if he holds down that slot receiver role. Khalil Shakir, a guy I really like, but he was a fifth round pick. That's basically it.
So the path is kind of crystal clear for Gabe Davis, unlike last year where they added Manny Sanders then kind hedged their bets on Gabe Davis. They didn't really hedge their bets on Gabe Davis this year, so the Bills are kind of banking on him. We'll see if it works. But I kind of want to play the inverse of it where I think this is just more good things for Stef Diggs, who 160 targets in back-to-back years.
I think we could see him meet somewhere in the middle from like an efficiency perspective. 76.5% catch rate in his first year with the Bills, 62% last year. I think we could see it somewhere again in the middle of that. 9.2 yards per target in year one with the Bills, 7.5 last year. Maybe we see somewhere in the 8 range. Touchdowns, 8 to 10 there between the first two years. I think we could maybe see, again, something similar in that range.
So I think that Diggs is a guy that-- last year, I was willing to say he could be the best receiver in fantasy. I think there's just as likely of a case that he could be the best receiver in fantasy this year, but he's going after guys like Davante Adams, who changed teams. He's going after guys like Ja'Marr Chase, who I totally understand why Ja'Marr Chase is going higher. Obviously, Cooper Kupp, Justin Jefferson, consensus top-two receivers in drafts.
But I wouldn't be surprised if this is just the year where Diggs really dominates the target share there because Davis isn't quite ready. Crowder and Shakir are not big-time, needle-mover players. And Diggs has that wide receiver wide receiver one overall season in his range of outcomes, and I don't think he's quite getting discussed that way because last year was a little like-- it was great. He was a top-10 receiver, but he was kind of not-- he was never in contention to be that wide receiver one overall last year. I think this year actually could be that season.
LIZ LOZA: What do you think in terms of-- because, again, I think touchdowns are going to be key for Gabe Davis' fantasy value. And I agree with you between 8 to 10 for-- I would say just over 100 catches, 1,200-ish yards, and 8 to 10-- 8 to 9, I don't think that Diggs gets to double digits-- scores seems about right.
Obviously, we're going to imagine fewer than 70 catches for Davis. I don't think he hits 1,000 yards. But could he tie Diggs in number of touchdowns with, let's say, eight? I don't--
MATT HARMON: Yeah.
LIZ LOZA: I'm still not sold, unless he has another one of these blow-up games where he gets three in week seven and that kind of alters his total. But I would take the under on eight totals for Gabe Davis.
MATT HARMON: I think that makes sense to me. He's a very inconsistent player. Like I mentioned, he was great in that game against the Chiefs. I think he definitely got some help there. You don't score four touchdowns without the defense giving you a little help. Let's just put it that way.
LIZ LOZA: Yeah.
MATT HARMON: But then you go back and watch the game--
LIZ LOZA: Out of nowhere.
MATT HARMON: Out of nowhere, right. And again, I do think he's going to benefit from a lot of looks where Diggs draws the extra defensive coverage, stuff like that. But then you watch Gabe Davis in I think it was their final regular season game against the Dolphins where they were competing for four quarters. Gabe Davis gets thrown double-digit targets. He was terrible in that game, and that was like three weeks before that Chiefs game. So that's still the-- again, it's that inconsistency. I think he could have massive games and then really slow games too. | https://sports.yahoo.com/gabe-davis-fantasy-value-away-215735937.html?src=rss | 2022-06-04T10:43:47Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/gabe-davis-fantasy-value-away-215735937.html?src=rss | true | 1 |

A DECISION to contravene the city development plan to allow for an extension of the Freemasons’ Hall — into a section of Bishop Lucey Park — has been met with mixed views, with some branding it a “slap in the face” to those wanting to preserve city green space, and others arguing it is necessary to improve fire safety and access in the landmark building.
At a special Cork City Council meeting earlier this week, councillors approved a material contravention of the development plan by just one vote.
A vote was necessitated as the site is on land zoned as a public open space. Councillors voted 24-7 in favour, bringing the four-storey extension to the building on Tuckey St one step closer to becoming reality.
The proposed extension is to accommodate a new staircase and lift, to improve fire safety and universal access in the building. The decision to approve the contravention has been met with some criticism.
Plant scientist and UCC lecturer Eoin Lettice said he believes it marks “a completely retrograde step”.
“This decision allows for the piecemeal erosion of public green space in the city centre, for purposes which are of no real benefit for the public at large,” he told The Echo.
“The argument has been made that this is a relatively small proportion of the existing park. The truth is we cannot afford to lose any green space in our city centre.
“Based on World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations, 79% of Cork city residents already do not have the basic requirements for access to green space,”
Dr Lettice said he feels the decision sets an “unwelcome precedent”, a point echoed by Labour councillor John Maher, who was one of the seven councillors to vote against the contravention.
“This is a bad precedent to set in a city like Cork, and opens the doors for further encroachments on green spaces,” Mr Maher said.
“What defence do we have now when other businesses or organisations come knocking for public land to make their buildings wider and larger?”
Solidarity councillor Fiona Ryan — who also voted against the contravention — said the decision is “a slap in the face to many people who are fighting for green spaces”.
“The council are arguing and the councillors who voted in favour of it are arguing that it’s only 1% of the land but actually if you look at the 3D imaging of what it’s going to be, it’s going to be far more than 1%.
“I think 1% would just be the actual extension out of the stairwell but when you actually look at the access ramp, it’s going to be something like five-plus percent.”
Details of the land disposal must first be agreed before the extension can be built.
Ms Ryan said she would encourage those with concerns about the proposed extension “to contact their local councillor to not go through with the property disposal despite the material contravention”.
Meanwhile, Fine Gael councillor in the city’s South Central ward Shane O’Callaghan said that while it is “not ideal to lose any public space”, he voted in favour to allow universal access to the building.
“The main reason I would have voted for it and I think, in fairness the main reason they’re proposing to build the extension, is to basically allow wheelchair access so people who have mobility issues can access what is a fantastic interior,” he said.
Independent councillor Paudie Dineen also said he voted in favour to improve fire safety and access issues.
Fianna Fáil councillor Seán Martin said that while he would “not normally support getting rid of green space” he felt “on balance” that “the greater good” could be served by supporting the extension.
Speaking about the loss of public green space, provincial librarian and archivist of Munster Freemasons, David J Butler, said the section of green space at Bishop Lucey Park is not a particularly fertile one.
“The immediate space behind our building is not a particularly fertile part of the land,” he said.
“It’s certainly an area that we’ve had an arborist and horticulturist look at as part of our submission and it was discovered that the birch trees that were planted there approximately 11 years ago had not matured in the style that one would expect, which has a positive, in that in their transplantation elsewhere for the duration of the building works, they will survive that transplantation because even though they have the years, they don’t have the growth that would be more severe on a more mature tree to uproot it and so forth.”
Mr Butler said that, over the last 14 years, the building has generally been used by non-masonic groups around 15 times annually, for events such as Heritage Day, Culture Night, the choral festival, and academic visits.
He said the society is “very open” towards having an increased amount of city events at the hall as part of the land disposal agreement. | https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40888190.html | 2022-06-04T10:48:16Z | https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40888190.html | false | 1 |

Aston Villa sign goalkeeper Robin Olsen from Roma on permanent deal
Aston Villa’s early summer recruitment drive continued with the permanent signing of goalkeeper Robin Olsen from Roma for an undisclosed fee.
Villa boss Steven Gerrard has moved quickly to strengthen his squad ahead of next season, and the 32-year-old Olsen joins Philippe Coutinho, Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos in joining the club.
Olsen spent the second half of the recently-completed season on loan at Villa Park, having started the campaign at Sheffield United, and acted as understudy to Emiliano Martinez.
The Swede, who has been capped 57 times by his country, made his Villa debut on the final day of the Premier League campaign but was mobbed at full-time by Manchester City fans who flooded onto the pitch to celebrate their title win.
Villa, who announced their latest signing on Saturday morning, have not disclosed the length of Olsen’s contract.

BANNING, Calif. (AP) — Thirteen people were injured Friday when a Greyhound bus blew a tire and veered into a sports utility vehicle and a center divider wall on a California desert highway, authorities said.
There were 33 people aboard the bus when it crashed in Banning, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Los Angeles while heading from Los Angeles to Phoenix on Interstate 10, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jason Montez.
Thirteen people were taken to hospitals but only one of those injured suffered a major injury, believed to be a compound fracture, and the rest had minor injuries, Montez said.
Two of the injured people were in the Mitsubishi that was struck by the bus and the other 11 were from the bus, he said.
The bus was traveling at about 60-65 mph (96-105 kph) when its left front tire blew out and it veered to the left and hit the Mitsubishi and then the center divider, he said.
Uninjured bus passengers were taken to a tribal hall on the Morongo Indian reservation.

BAKHMUT, Ukraine (AP) — As the fighting in eastern Ukraine inches forward, Russian attacks are knocking out power, water and gas to entire towns and cities — and the utility crews sent to repair the smashed transmission lines and pipes are finding themselves in the middle of the shelling.
Crews sometimes arrive at a location only to be forced to retreat because of the fighting, officials say. Some villages are impossible to reach.
“It is dangerous, because we can hear the shells whistling above us,” said Sergii Marokhin, a water systems engineer in the town of Bakhmut, which has come under increased shelling recently as Russian forces press their offensive in the Donetsk region of the Donbas, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.
Shelling the day before had damaged water pipes in a nearby village and in Bakhmut itself that he and his crew had been repairing that morning. There was a sewage pipe to fix, and damage to water lines in other nearby villages.
Even on quiet days, there is still regular maintenance work to be done.
“People still go to work during the war,” he said with a shrug.
In some hard-hit places, people have been forced to rely on makeshift outdoor ovens and stoves built out of bricks and stones.
“As of today, half of the city is without water. The other half of the city takes water from boreholes,” Oleksandr Marchenko, deputy head of the Bakhmut military administration, said Wednesday. A dam to the north had been blown up, drying up the canal that runs past Bakhmut, he said.
The city has a backup water supply, but downed power lines disrupted the pumping of the water. Engineers hoped to repair the damage if it was safe to do so.
“Unfortunately, the city gets bombed every day,” Marchenko said. As if to prove his point, mortar shells whistled over his head, sending him diving onto a grassy riverbank for cover.
The mortar fire landed with a thump in the northern part of the city, sending up puffs of black smoke.
“There is no gas, no electricity, no water!” thundered Viktor Paramonov as he and a few others on the edge of Bakhmut prepared to cook on a makeshift open-air stove consisting of a wood fire and a metal plate balanced on bricks. “There is nothing.”
A nearby construction materials factory had been destroyed in bombing a few days earlier. In mid-May, the apartment building next to his was struck, collapsing part of it.
Farther north in Sloviansk, a generator whirred in city hall after power was knocked out because of high-voltage lines downed by fighting just to the east. The water supply was also cut.
“The repair crews have to go to the areas of combat operations, which is dangerous,” said Vadym Lyakh, head of Sloviansk’s military administration.
City authorities delivered water from reservoirs to the Sloviansk’s inhabitants, who number around 30,000, down from a prewar 100,000, he said. Others used communal water pumps.
Behind a series of apartment buildings pockmarked by shrapnel from a recent rocket strike, residents filled buckets and plastic bottles from an old yellow pump in the street.
The pump takes too much strength to operate, grumbled an older man. Some women have to wait for a man to come by and work the lever, he said, as he put together a small metal stove to cook lunch outdoors.

Taser developer Axon said this week it is working to build drones armed with the electric stunning weapons that could fly in schools and "help prevent the next Uvalde, Sandy Hook, or Columbine." But its own technology advisers quickly panned the idea as a dangerous fantasy.
The publicly traded company, which sells Tasers and police body cameras, floated the idea of a new police drone product last year to its artificial intelligence ethics board, a group of well-respected experts in technology, policing and privacy.
Some of them expressed reservations about weaponizing drones in over-policed communities of color. But they were not expecting Axon's Thursday announcement that it wants to send those Taser-equipped drones into classrooms to prevent mass shootings by immobilizing an intruding gunman.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Axon founder and CEO Rick Smith said he felt compelled to make the idea public after the mass shooting at an Uvalde, Texas, elementary school, saying he was "catastrophically disappointed" in the response by police who didn't move in to kill the suspect for more than an hour.
But he stressed Friday that no product had been launched and any potential launch would be down the road. The idea, he felt, needed to be shared now because of the public conversation about effective ways for police to safely confront attackers and how schools can increase safety.
"This is an idea that should get into the public's consciousness while our minds are open to it and I felt if I wait another six months, the world is going to change and people are going to forget this pain and we're going to see a shift in sentiments where people are going to focus a lot more on what could go wrong, rather than the pain of this problem we need to solve," he said.
An ethics board member calls the idea "dangerous and fantastical"
Axon's stock price rose with the news. But the announcement angered members of the ethics board, some of whom are now likely to quit in protest.
"This particular idea is crackpot," said Barry Friedman, a New York University law professor who sits on the Axon AI Ethics Board. "Drones can't fly through closed doors. The physical properties of the universe still hold. So unless you have a drone in every single classroom in America, which seems insane, the idea just isn't going to work."
Friedman said it was a "dangerous and fantastical idea" that went far beyond the proposal for a Taser-equipped police drone that board members — some of them former or current police officials — had been debating in recent months.
"We begged the company not to do it," Friedman said of the company's announcement. "It was unnecessary and shameful."
The product idea had been kicked around at Axon since at least 2019 and the company has been working to try to figure out whether a drone with a Taser was even a feasible idea. Over the last year, the company created computer-generated art renderings to mock up a product design and conducted an internal test to see if Taser darts — which transmit an immobilizing electric jolt — could be fired from a flying drone, Smith said. He added that he had discussed the possibility of developing such a product with the ethics board.
Board members who spoke with The Associated Press said they were taken aback by the school drone proposal — which they got notice of only earlier this week — and cobbled together a unanimous statement of concern that described Axon's decision as "deeply regrettable." The company tweeted out the board's dissent shortly after its own statement in a Thursday announcement.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there were resignations," said another ethics board member, Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington. "I think everyone on the board has to make a choice about whether they want to stay involved."
This week marks a change in relationship between the ethics board and Axon executives
Friedman and Calo both described this week's process as a sharp turnaround from the respectful relationship that Axon executives have had with the board in recent years on controversial topics such as face recognition — which Axon decided against using in its body cameras — and automated license plate readers.
"Sometimes the company takes our advice and sometimes it doesn't," Friedman said. "What's important is that happens after thoughtful discussion and coordination. That was thrown out the window here."
Smith said the company is still in the very early phases of product development and would continue to consult the ethics board, along with law enforcement officials, community leaders and school officials. He acknowledged that the company might later determine that the idea isn't feasible and abandon it.
But he took issue with the idea that he had ignored the concerns from the ethics board, which is meant to provide guidance and share feedback. Ultimately, the decision still falls to Smith as the company's chief executive.
"I have not ignored what they have said. People can have debates and disagree," Smith said. "I think there is one thing the world can see: Our board is not a whitewash."
"I hope they don't resign," he added. "I hope that they are somewhat proud maybe after this that we're having this public debate."
On Friday, in an "Ask Me Anything" chat on the online forum Reddit, Smith acknowledged that "drones in schools can sound nuts" but went on to answer detailed questions about them. They could travel through school vents, he said, and perch on doors and walls near ceilings. It could be a "good thing" if a gunman tried to shoot one down because it would distract from trying to kill people.
"We're doing this because we care," Smith said. "We're a business so ultimately we have to find a financial model that works, but at the end of the day we've been successful because our mission drives our business and we solve problems we care about," he added.
Smith told a Reddit user that Axon was "absolutely not" trying to capitalize on recent tragedies to attract investors. He noted the advisory board's disagreements but said the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas — and what he described as misguided proposals to arm teachers with guns — compelled him to go public with the drone idea to field a "far broader array of voices."

Which motivational water bottle is best?
If you intend to drink more water throughout the day but usually forget, you might need a motivational water bottle. The best one will not only keep you on track with actionable goals, but comes with time markers to let you know when you need to meet them. It will also be leak-proof, shatterproof and sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily use.
If you are looking for a motivational water bottle to help you reach your daily water intake goals, a top choice is the Sports Water Bottle with Time Markers by Hydro Habit.
What to know before you buy a motivational water bottle
What is a motivational water bottle?
A motivational water bottle gives you a quick and easy way to monitor the fluid you drink throughout the day. Some are transparent and include vertical markers that give you achievable drinking goals that run from the top of the bottle down to its base. Others are metal with a digitized method of letting you know exactly how much water you have consumed and how much more you need to drink to reach your goal. As long as it gets you to drink more water, it’s a motivational water bottle.
Container size
Before buying a motivational water bottle, ensure that the overall size will help you achieve your goal. According to the National Institutes of Health, people should drink 75 to 100 ounces of water per day, depending on their individual physical needs. Water bottles that are too small are unlikely to help you meet that goal, and those that are too large are apt to be left at home when you’re on-the-go. Aim for a size that travels well and won’t require too many refills.
Material
The best motivational water bottles are made from three common materials: plastic, glass or metal. Each has its benefits and challenges.
Plastic is durable, light and can be transparent. However, ensure that it does not contain the chemical bisphenol-A, also known as BPA. This substance can be harmful to your health, so look for a BPA-free label.
Glass is non-toxic and transparent, but it is heavier than plastics and tends to shatter or crack when dropped.
Metal water bottles, such as those made from aluminum or stainless steel, are durable and safe to use, but they are not transparent.
What to look for in a quality motivational water bottle
Durability
While plastic is often far more durable than glass, it can still break. That is why you should search for a plastic motivational water bottle that is shatterproof and impact-resistant.
Glass motivational water bottles should include an outer layer of silicone to help prevent it from shattering when dropped or crushed.
Motivational water bottles made from metal are naturally shatterproof and rarely crack, but they can scratch and dent. However, stainless steel makes a better motivational water bottle than aluminum because it is harder.
No matter what material you choose, your motivational water bottle should not leak. Ensure that your lid is labeled leak-proof as well.
Lifestyle fit
The best motivational water bottle should help you to drink more water throughout the day. If you love the latest and greatest tech tools, then look for a digital water bottle that encourages you to drink more water and connects to your smartphone for deeper health insights. However, bottles with simple time markers and intake levels you can see work incredibly well, too. The best motivational water bottle will be the one that you can see yourself using consistently.
How much you can expect to spend on a motivational water bottle
Motivational water bottles made from plastic and glass range between $11-$25, while some digital stainless steel bottles go up to $75.
Motivational water bottle FAQ
How often should you wash your water bottle?
A. Wash it after every use to prevent bacterial growth.
What should you do if you find mold in your water bottle straw?
A. Wash it with soap in warm water and carefully scrub all of the mold off. An inexpensive straw brush can help. Next, place your bottle, lid and straw in water mixed with 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda and let it soak overnight.

LONDON (AP) — Two future monarchs are set to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at a special concert in front of Buckingham Palace on Saturday, the third day of the Platinum Jubilee extravaganza marking her 70 years on the throne.
Prince Charles and Prince William, the queen’s son and grandson, are scheduled to address a live audience of 22,000 people and millions more watching on television. The event featuring Diana Ross, Queen + Adam Lambert and Alicia Keys will take place in a temporary amphitheater built around the Victoria Memorial outside the palace.
The 96-year-old monarch isn’t expected to attend the nighttime outdoor event with rain in the forecast. Problems moving around, which the palace describes as “episodic mobility issues,” have limited the queen’s public appearances in recent months.
The sovereign opted not to attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday, the second time in as many days that her troubles in getting around have robbed crowds of a chance to see her. On Friday, the queen skipped a special service of Thanksgiving in her honor at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, were among nearly 50 members of the royal family who gathered to honor the absent head of state. It was their first public appearance in the U.K. since stepping back from royal duties two years ago.

As a number of teams seek to have the budget cap raised, talks over the inclusion of drivers salaries in the budget limit continue.
Though Christian Horner has since clarified his 'threat' that in order not to exceed the budget limit some teams might need to 'sit out 'races, the push for a relaxation of the rule from the bigger teams continues.
However, in the midst of the wailing at the need to spend more money, it is worth remembering that a number of important items are not included in the cap, which currently stands at $140m.
These include driver salaries, not just the lead driver but both race drivers and a reserve driver, the salaries of the three highest paid employees and all marketing activities.
Indeed, as Christian Horner cites the 'cost of living crisis', it's worth noting that "electricity, gas and water costs incurred in the course of both F1 Activities and Non-F1 Activities" are not included, likewise "All Property Costs", "All costs Directly Attributable to Human Resources Activities, Finance Activities or Legal Activities", "All Employee Bonus Costs, subject to a maximum amount in any Full Year Reporting Period", and so on...
As anyone who has played Fantasy F1 will be aware, not having to include the salaries of ones drivers, team boss or technical director essentially gives you free rein to splash out on your chassis and engine.
However, talks on capping driver salaries continue.
"That's a point we started discussing a month ago together with all the teams, F1 and the FIA," says Mattia Binotto. "We understand the importance to try somehow to cap the overall expenses. Obviously, there is not only the three top, let me say, key personnel in the team, there is not only the drivers, there is the engine and the power unit as well, for which there will be a budget cap in the future.
"So, we are discussing it, there is not a straightforward solution, especially for the drivers' caps on the salary, for drivers' salary cap. But no doubt that we are discussing it and trying to understand what can be a solution.
"It will not be in the short term," he admits, "the reason for that is we already have contracts in place, and we cannot simply breach them. There are legal implications, certainly to understand how to do that, so it's a discussion. It's an important one, we understand it and we recognise it will take time, but certainly we will go through the process."
"The principle of a cap is well merited," agreed Christian Horner. "I think the application of it is tricky. And we're seeing and we're experiencing that at the moment.
"Of course, there's an awful lot of things that need tidying up within the existing cap that we have, that's being rolled out to being an engine cap as well. I mean, there's all kinds of complications with that, again, with companies' reporting structures, etc, etc. So, there's many, many complexities, but I think we need to go beyond that.
"Personally, I think, too much weight and pressure is being placed on the cap at the moment. I think you've got to look at where your cost drivers are. And I think as Formula 1, we need to do a better job at looking at technical regulations, sporting regulations, because we're still designing and manufacturing very expensive cars.
"The engine regulations for 2026. There's nothing cheap about them. And I think this is what then puts an artificial pressure on the financial regulation.
"We're going to end up more with more people in our financial department than we have in the drawing office. And what we don't want to see is that Formula 1 becomes an accounting world championship, you know, rather than a technical or sporting one. And I think that we've just got to get that balance, right, and just look at revisiting some of the fundamentals, you know, of why does it cost so much to build these cars?"
"There's no doubt that a well thought out cap can benefit the sport," says Andrew Shovlin. "And those are all areas that we're looking at to be brought into it in the future and they've got to be workable.
"But if you look at the situation we've got right now, the chassis-side cap came in, and it isn't... At the moment it's very difficult to see how that's going to be workable in the in the current climate.
"So while they're very useful topics and on the agendas for very good reason, it is the immediate problem that is the one that... We need to prove that we can have a cap that works for the teams for the sport. And from my point of view, that would be the priority."
"This will probably be the next topic on the table," says Alfa's Frederic Vasseur. "It has to come together between drivers and key personnel for sure.
"I think it's the right approach to try to coordinate it with the budget and to have perhaps an allowance for this. You could overshoot the limit and you will have to take part of your budget cap, I don't know, but we have to find something like this because it's important for the sport.
"I think at the end of the day that it makes also sense for the competition," he adds. "I'm more than pleased to go into this direction.
"F1 is in a very good shape today; it's in good shape because the show is going up and also because the FIA and the FOM took the right decisions in the last couple of years but I think that we have to continue into this direction."
"I'm in favour of adding that underneath a global cap," agrees Otmar Szafnauer, "so that the teams can trade off, you know, driver skill with updates, because ultimately both things bring performance on track. And I think for us to have the latitude to be able to trade that off is probably the right thing.
"Our position is that everything which is performance relevant should be considered to be in a kind of a cap or allowances and that's why we're open for that discussion, as well," added Andreas Seidl.
However, in English Premiership Rugby, a number of teams are alleged to have sought to get around the player salary cap in various ways, be it paying them in cash or even getting involved in joint property and company investment deals.
Consequently, in F1, in terms of drivers and key personnel, there remains the question of how a cap would be policed, especially with drivers who have personal sponsorships that they bring on board a team.
"There's enough examples around from other sports that this mechanism that could do the job," says Seidl. "At the same time, I think it's important now to simply keep continuing the discussions behind closed doors, because there's no point to now in public discuss how could that all work? So let's stay tuned."
"Other sports have implemented this," adds Szafnauer, "and we should take some learnings from them and take our time to make sure that it can be policed and we stick to the cap when it does come in.
"But yeah, like we said, it should be a next step and we shouldn't rush into it but make sure that, you know, we have good methods in place to be able to police it and also have it be a fair cap."
"No, it took 20 years to put the budget cap in place that I hope that will be a bit faster on the second point," argues Vasseur, "but we just have to open the discussion between us and I'm sure that we'll find a compromise." | https://www.pitpass.com/72686/Talks-on-driver-salary-cap-continue | 2022-06-04T11:50:51Z | https://www.pitpass.com/72686/Talks-on-driver-salary-cap-continue | false | 1 |

An 18-hour thunderstorm warning has been issued for much of England and Wales - including Buckinghamshire. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for most of Sunday, the last day of the four-day Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
The weather warning is in force from midnight until 6pm. All of Bucks is covered, including Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and High Wycombe.
The Met Office thunderstorm warning states: Thunderstorms developing over parts of England and Wales from early Sunday may cause travel disruption and, in a few places, flooding. Thunderstorms and areas of rain are expected to develop over parts of England and Wales during the early hours of Sunday.

"Torrential downpours are likely in a few places with parts of the Midlands, East Anglia and southeast England most at risk. Some places could see 15-20 mm in an hour, and perhaps up to 50 mm before storms fade, and hail may affect a few spots.
"These thunderstorms will slowly spread into southern parts of northern England on Sunday morning before easing. Further south, drier conditions briefly develop on Sunday morning before further showers and thunderstorms develop over some parts of southern England, Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia later. These may give some heavy downpours with a further 10-20 mm possible in some places." | https://www.buckinghamshirelive.com/news/buckinghamshire-news/met-office-thunderstorm-warning-milton-7164344 | 2022-06-04T11:57:19Z | https://www.buckinghamshirelive.com/news/buckinghamshire-news/met-office-thunderstorm-warning-milton-7164344 | false | 1 |
A cold front will be positioned to our northwest Saturday that will pass during the evening. It’s a weak front, though, bringing not much more than a few clouds and a change in wind direction.
High pressure will be in store for most of the day. Temperatures will start out in the mid-50s in Galloway Township and inland towns, with near 60 readings in Brigantine and the shore.
For the afternoon, winds will be from the west, turning south with a sea breeze at the coast. Dew points will be in the 50s inland, with mid-60s at the coast when the southerly wind kicks in. High temperatures should be in the 75- to 80-degree range just about everywhere. The Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival will be great.
That dry cold front will pass during the evening. Winds will turn to the north. Dew points will fall even more. We’ll be in the 70s and 60s during the evening. Sunday morning will wind up in the 50s in most spots. However, those well in the Pine Barrens could drop into the chilly 40s.

With the low dew points and highs of 70 to 75 degrees, Sunday could pass as a late September day. Winds will turn to the northeast, picking up some of that chillier ocean air. Also, in a nod to September and hurricane season, the outermost clouds from “Alex,” which could be a tropical storm or hurricane, may be overhead for the afternoon.
Otherwise, look for a comfortable day. If you’re extending the weekend into Sunday night outside, you’ll have very pleasant conditions. Temperatures will slide into the 70s and 60s.
Winds will turn to the southeast, raising the floor on how low temperatures will go. Expect to be somewhere around 60 degrees come Monday morning.
Next week will start dry but end unsettled. Monday and Tuesday should be seasonable, with sunshine. A cold front will bring showers or storms for a few hours Wednesday. A more potent system arrives Thursday. Severe weather will be possible, but we’re still days away.

LONDON, June 4 ― A pop concert, featuring the likes of singers Alicia Keys and Diana Ross, and the Epsom Derby horse race take centre stage on the third day of Britain’s nationwide celebrations for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
However, the 96-year-old monarch, a huge horse-racing fan and owner of many thoroughbreds, will skip the 243rd running of the Derby because of “episodic mobility problems” that also forced her to miss a thanksgiving service in her honour on Friday.
Her daughter Princess Anne, who competed in the three-day equestrian event in the 1976 Olympics, is expected to stand in for her mother.
Later on Saturday, performers from around the world will entertain some 22,000 people at the Platinum Party at the Palace, while Elizabeth’s son and heir Prince Charles and grandson Prince William will speak.
The queen herself had not been expected to attend.
The concert will also feature a specially recorded performance by Elton John, a performance from rock band Queen + Adam Lambert, and conclude with Diana Ross’s first live appearance in Britain in 15 years.
Queen guitarist Brian May, who played the national anthem from the roof of the palace at a concert for Elizabeth’s golden jubilee in 2002, said the band was happy to have been invited again.
“Then there was a moment when I wondered ... after Buckingham Palace roof where can you go? Well ..., you will see,” he said.
Another participant, veteran US musician and record producer Nile Rodgers, said he had no idea what he would be playing.
“I look at it like this ― whatever the queen asked me to do or her representatives or whatever, I will do that,” he told BBC TV.
Lilibet’s Birthday
Four days of celebrations to mark the monarch’s record-breaking 70 years on the throne began with a military parade, a Royal Air Force flypast, and the lighting of beacons across Britain and the world.
During Friday’s National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell used a horse racing analogy in his sermon to pay tribute to the queen.
“Your Majesty, we are sorry that you’re not here with us this morning, but we are so glad that you are still in the saddle,” he said. “And we are glad that there is still more to come. So thank you for staying the course.”
A sideshow to the main celebrations has been Prince Harry and his American wife Meghan making their first public appearance together in Britain since quitting official duties to move to Los Angeles two years ago, during which time their relationship with other royals has become strained.
Notably on Saturday, the official Twitter accounts for the monarch, Prince Charles and Prince William all sent messages almost simultaneously to mark the first birthday of Lilibet, the couple’s daughter who is named after the queen.
Elizabeth had not met her great-granddaughter prior to the trip, and Buckingham Palace has not commented on newspaper reports they had now finally been introduced.
Harry and Meghan have become divisive figures, with supporters regarding them as a breath of fresh air for the tradition-bound monarchy, while critics and many newspapers pour scorn on their behaviour and commercial activities such as striking a deal with global streaming service Netflix.
“So Far Apart”, the Daily Mail newspaper said on its front page about the lack of any obvious interaction between Harry and elder brother William at Friday’s thanksgiving service. ― Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/06/04/party-horse-race-take-centre-stage-at-queen-elizabeths-jubilee/10650 | 2022-06-04T12:09:21Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/06/04/party-horse-race-take-centre-stage-at-queen-elizabeths-jubilee/10650 | true | 7 |

Sidhu Moose Wala murder: Amit Shah meets singer's family in Chandigarh
The singer-turned-politician was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village in Mansa district of Punjab on 29 May, a day after the Punjab government curtailed his security cover
Chandigarh: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday met the family members of late Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala in Chandigarh.
The singer-turned-politician was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village in Mansa district of Punjab on May 29, a day after the Punjab government curtailed his security cover.
On Friday, amid protests, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also visited the family of the singer at his residence in Mansa.
The same day, a BJP leader from Punjab approached the Supreme Court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the killing of Moose Wala.
Notably, Moose Wala's body had 19 bullet injury injuries and he died within 15 minutes of being shot, according to the post-mortem report, which also stated that the cause of his death was "haemorrhage shock" due to antemortem firearm injuries.
On Thursday, the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it will restore the security cover to all 424 people from June 7 which was withdrawn temporarily for the Amritsar Ghalughara event.
Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar reportedly claimed responsibility for the murder of the Punjabi singer in a Facebook post on Sunday evening.
Brar is a close aide of gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, who is also said to be involved in the singer's murder. Brar aka Satinder Singh is involved in multiple criminal cases.
A Faridpur court had earlier this month issued an open-ended non-bailable arrest warrant against Brar in connection with the killing of the district Youth Congress president, Gurlal Singh Pehalwan.
Amid the ongoing investigation of Sidhu Moose Wala's killing, Delhi Police has said that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has not yet confessed his participation in plans to murder the singer.
Bishnoi told the police that Moose Wala was killed out of revenge, but he himself had no hand in it. To this, Delhi Police said that many people have claimed responsibility in the case, but the main culprit is yet to be ascertained.

The equity markets had an overall positive week, but the broad sentiment remained quite tentative as the Nifty oscillated both ways during the five trading sessions before ending on a positive note.
The index saw itself breaking out of the 16400-15700 trading range which is broad enough in its own way; however, it suffered a throwback and consolidated again in a narrow range.
While largely staying positive, the index did not take any major step higher. The headline Nifty50 closed with a net gain of 231.85 points (+1.42%) on a weekly basis.
From the technical perspective, the breakout above 16400 levels has made this level the immediate support level for the Nifty in the near term. Besides this, the Nifty so far has held the double bottom formed near the immediate low point of this range. The most immediate resistance that the index has is the 50-week MA which presently stands at 17056; this again makes the zone of 16400-17000 yet another trading zone for the index.
Apart from this, volatility too declined during the week; INDIA VIX came off by 7.01% to 19.98.
The weekly RSI is 46.47; it shows a mild bullish divergence against the price.
The weekly MACD is bearish and stays below the signal line. A spinning top emerged on the candles; this shows the tentative and indecisive behavior of the market participants.
The pattern analysis shows that the Index trades below the 50-Week MA which stands at 17056. However, it trades above the 200-, and the 100-Week MAs.
The move towards the 50-Week MA will also take the index to a very important pattern resistance; this pattern resistance is the trendline that was violated by Nifty on its way down.
All in all, we may continue seeing the markets trading tentatively. It is largely expected that the markets will continue to stay highly stock-specific in nature.
We may see isolated stock-specific outperformance from all the sectors rather than any particular sector dominating during the week. It would be extremely important to stay with the right kind of stock. It is recommended that the focus should be to avoid shorts and make use of the dips, if any, to make entries in stocks that are showing improvement in their relative strength. We can expect a good show from pockets like Energy, PSE, Consumption, IT, etc. over the coming days.
In our look at Relative Rotation Graphs®, we compared various sectors against CNX500 (NIFTY 500 Index), which represents over 95% of the free float market cap of all the stocks listed.
The analysis of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) shows some pockets losing strength in terms of their momentum against the broader markets. The Metal Index has drifted further lower inside the weakening quadrant. Besides this, the Realty Index that had rolled inside the improving in the previous week has sharply lost its relative momentum and has rolled back inside the lagging quadrant. We may see these pockets relatively underperforming the broader Nifty500 Index.
The Nifty Consumption, FMCG, Infrastructure, Pharma, PSE, Commodities, and the Midcap 100 indexes are inside the leading quadrant. However, few among these groups are seen slightly giving up on their relative momentum against the broader markets.
Nifty Media has rolled back inside the weakening quadrant; PSU Bank continues to stay in the weakening quadrant as well.
Nifty Services sector and Nifty IT indexes stay inside the lagging quadrant. These pockets may see relative underperformance against the broader markets but some stock-specific shows from these groups may not be ruled out.
Both Bank Nifty and Financial Services indexes have rolled inside the improving quadrant.
Important Note: RRGTM charts show the relative strength and momentum for a group of stocks. In the above Chart, they show relative performance against NIFTY500 Index (Broader Markets) and should not be used directly as buy or sell signals.

The Brumbies will fly the Australian flag in the Super Rugby Pacific for another week after a comeback win in their quarter-final against the Hurricanes at GIO Stadium on Saturday night.
While the weekend spelled the end of the road for the NSW Waratahs and the Queensland Reds, the Brumbies recovered from a 10-point second-half deficit to win 35-25 and claim their spot in the final four.
They'll now prepare for one of the toughest tests in rugby, a trip to Eden Park to battle the Blues for a place in the final.
The Hurricanes had led 22-15 at the half after two tries and some lethal penalty kicking from Jordie Barrett, but a rare miss from the All Blacks star turned the contest on its head early in the second.
Noah Lolesio trimmed the margin to four points with a penalty on the hour-mark and they'd grabbed the lead soon after, a barging run from Nick Frost ending with fullback Tom Banks slicing through the line and scoring.
Tom Wright put it to bed in the 74th minute, cutting through off the back of another powerful maul, with Lolesio's sideline conversion extending the lead to the final margin.
The huge result snaps the Brumbies' three-game losing streak and has them dreaming of their first trans-Tasman title since 2004.
It's also the first time they've beaten a New Zealand-based side in a playoff match since 2014.
A not-so-secret weapon had emerged early in the contest, with Barrett drilling long-range kicks including from inside his own half, but the All Black star stepped it up further with a divine cross-field kick finding fullback Josh Moorby to score in the corner for an 11-3 lead.
The Brumbies had got on the board through a Lolesio penalty and showed intent with some big early hits but that proved a part of their undoing, with a Len Ikitau shoulder charge drilling Barrett and earning him a red card on 22 minutes.
Controversially, the Canes then lost Owen Franks from a high shot on Lolesio, but his was judged a yellow card rather than a red.
They did quickly break through though, driving forward from the resulting penalty for Folau Fainga'a to burrow over to make it 14-8 before Irae Simone grabbed them the lead through a powerful run.
But the visitors went to the half ahead, Moorby doubling up late, carving through the line and using his pace to find the corner for a 22-15 advantage. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/brumbies-dig-deep-for-super-playoffs-win-c-7053273 | 2022-06-04T12:24:38Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-union/brumbies-dig-deep-for-super-playoffs-win-c-7053273 | true | 5 |

REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware (AP) — President Joe Biden came before the television cameras Friday to celebrate yet another month of healthy job growth and low unemployment and the fastest pace of hiring in four decades under his watch.
“The job market,” the president declared, “is the strongest it’s been since just after World War II.”
Yet just as it often does, the subject soon turned to the rampant inflation that has emerged as the economic issue most on Americans’ minds and a leading reason for Biden’s sunken public approval ratings.
Voters have made clear in surveys that their attention is focused much more on soaring gasoline and food prices than on the plentiful availability of jobs. A year-long acceleration of prices in the aftermath of the pandemic recession — to the highest levels in four decades — has left many Americans struggling with the cost of necessities and dissatisfied with the overall economy.
On Friday, that dynamic left Biden promising to fix the economy to try to shore up public confidence and his flagging poll numbers.
“There’s no denying prices, particularly around gasoline and food, are real problems,” the president said in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he is spending the weekend. “I understand that families who are struggling probably don’t care why prices rose. They just want to bring them down.”
It was a stark illustration of the shifting political and economic landscape Biden and Democrats in Congress face as midterm elections loom. For decades, as inflation remained tame, job growth and unemployment tended to be the top economic metrics by which voters judged presidents. But now, Biden faces a new era in which, for most Americans, chronically high inflation has eclipsed a consistently strong job market.
The shift shows how the seemingly timeless truths of American politics can become reshaped by the lived-in realities of voters in which old priorities fade and new fears emerge.
At just 3.6%, the unemployment rate is near a half-century low, and on Friday the government reported that employers added 390,000 more jobs in May — roughly double the pre-pandemic pace. Businesses advertised more than 11 million open jobs in April, down only slightly from a record high in March.
Yet Americans are gloomy about the economic outlook and Biden’s record. Two-thirds of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research conducted in mid-May.
One reason for the disconnect is that people perceive inflation and job gains in very different ways, Felicia Wong, president of the liberal Roosevelt Institute, said during a webinar this week.
“People attribute better jobs and higher wages to their own individualized actions,” said Wong, who served on the Biden-Harris transition team. “ ‘I did a good job. I got a raise.’ I don’t think that most people think about a strong labor market enabled by and driven by policy choices. In contrast, people definitely blame someone else when gas prices go up, when food prices go up.”
Higher inflation, partly stemming from supply chain snarls and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, is causing hardships for millions of Americans, particularly lower-income and Black and Hispanic households, which spend a disproportionate share of their income on gas, rent and food.
Wages have been rising, but not as fast as prices, thereby eroding most Americans’ spending power. As a result, more people say they’re struggling to pay their weekly bills, according to the Census Bureau’s most recent Household Pulse Survey.
Even with a solid job market, 16 million more households over the past year said they found it “somewhat” or “very” difficult to pay their expenses, the survey found in early May. More households say they’re getting by with credit cards, spending down their savings or borrowing from others.
The financial strain has grown even as the survey showed a 78% decline in households relying on unemployment benefits — a sign that job growth has been insufficient to offset the problems caused by inflation.
Fear of inflation began to build more than a year ago, according to surveys of the likely electorate by the Republican polling firm Echelon Insights. Biden and White House aides initially downplayed the risk that their $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package could spark higher inflation. They focused instead on the muscular job growth that followed the government spending.
Patrick Ruffini, a partner at Echelon Insights, said that high inflation has caused more voters to favor reductions in government spending and greater oil and gas production — policies favored by Republican lawmakers. Even if inflation falls from current levels, Biden would still likely face the same kind of hostile midterm environment his predecessors endured in 2014 and 2018. At the same time, his past claims that inflation would fade have hurt his credibility.
“For a long time, the Biden administration was not even seeming to acknowledge the problem,” Ruffini said.
The president has repeatedly called inflation a “top priority.” Yet he’s also said that the responsibility for reducing it rests first and foremost with the Federal Reserve. That messaging may work with economists, Ruffini suggested, but voters want to see “political leadership.”
It’s very different from what Biden and his economic team expected when they took office in January 2021. Back then, vaccines weren’t yet being rolled out. And the main worry among Biden and economic officials, such as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, was that the economy would grind through another slow jobs recovery, similar to what occurred after the 2008 Great Recession. It took more than six years from the start of that downturn to recover all the lost jobs.
“We want to get something economists call ‘full employment,’ ” Biden said at a Cleveland community college in May 2021. “Instead of workers competing with each other for jobs that are scarce, we want employees to compete with each other to attract work.”
The administration achieved that goal. After 22 million jobs were shed in just early 2020, the height of the pandemic, the economy has recovered all but 800,000. It took two years — rather than six — for employment to essentially rebound.
Biden’s pandemic relief package contributed to that outcome, economists say. It sharply boosted demand through a round of $1,400 stimulus checks, enhanced unemployment benefits and $300-a-month child tax credit payments for most parents.
But that level of spending also fueled inflation, as even some economists who have served in Democratic administrations — including former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and President Barack Obama’s top adviser, Jason Furman — warned that it might.
Consumer prices jumped 8.3% in April compared with a year earlier, down slightly from March but still near the worst in 40 years. Gas prices have skyrocketed 44% in the past year and are still rising. Groceries are 11% more expensive.
Ben Harris, the assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy, said Thursday on the Roosevelt Institute webinar that it is “frustrating” for the Biden administration because the alternative, without their financial aid package, would likely have been much worse: Slower job growth and more economic pain for families.
“We can’t observe the counterfactual, but the counterfactual is really ugly,” Harris said. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/bidens-challenge-inflation-overshadows-robust-job-gains/ | 2022-06-04T12:40:35Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/bidens-challenge-inflation-overshadows-robust-job-gains/ | true | 33 |

Buddy-less Swans storm Dees fortress to blow title race open
By Andrew Wu
Melbourne’s premiership defence has hit rough waters after Sydney became the second team in a row to storm the Demons’ MCG fortress, overcoming the absence of Lance Franklin to post a stirring victory.
A fortnight ago, many believed there was daylight between the Dees and the rest but the flag race is suddenly wide open. A week after giving up a five-goal lead to Fremantle, the reigning premiers coughed up a 26-point lead early in the second term as the Swans finished full of running to win by 12 points.
The young Bloods slammed the last four goals of the game, including the sealer from Tom Papley deep in a pocket minutes after Errol Gulden had put them in front with a clutch kick from 50 out.
The idea that Steve May is the Demons’ most important player is gaining more traction after the Demons buckled under the Swans’ fierce pressure.
Sam Reid and Logan McDonald each kicked three goals against a defence which is lacking its usual assuredness without May calling the shots.
One loss can be dismissed as an aberration, but two in a row warrants deeper analysis. Twice, the Dees built what should have been a match-winning break only for the hungry Swans to come back.
Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca and Max Gawn all had productive nights but the Dees’ forward line, missing Tom McDonald, was impotent. Ben Brown had zero impact, limited to just four possessions against Dane Rampe after only two touches last week. They have kicked just 16 goals in two weeks.
On a chilly winter’s night, the 74-53 tackle count spoke volumes of the heat John Longmire’s men brought.
If there was a play which summed up the night, it came in the second quarter when Max Gawn lost the ball amid the chaos at half-back, paving the way for Chad Warner to storm up the guts and kick long to Papley, who converted on the run in a vacant forward 50.
The Swans slammed four of their run of five goals in the second quarter while - but not because - Harry Petty was off the field having what appeared to be a shoulder injury assessed.
It was during this period that they gained ascendancy at the contest and lifted their tackling pressure.
Reid was influential in Franklin’s absence, kicking three goals and impressing with his high marking against Adam Tomlinson, who is yet to adjust to the pace of the game after a year out.
BOWEY FLINT HARD
There’s not much to Jake Bowey but do not judge a book by its cover. He is tough as teak! The Demons defender, who famously won his first 17 games, fought well above his weight division in taking on Tom McCartin for a ground ball. Giving up 25kg to the Swan, Bowey went low and hard into McCartin to halve the contest and keep play locked in his team’s front half. Full credit as well to McCartin, who was equally committed for the ball. The two clashed heavily but with strong technique neither left themselves open to head-high contact.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Kysaiah Pickett is one of those players who can make a big impact without big numbers. He showed that in the first term with one of the better two-possession quarters you’ll see. He was the architect of two goals, the first of which came after he spun out of heavy traffic with twinkle-toe footwork to set up Luke Jackson. He did not get a stat for his second play when he had the presence of mind to keep a boundary-bound ball in play, allowing Gawn to snap truly. | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-humbled-again-as-young-bloods-shock-reigning-premiers-20220604-p5ar37.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-06-04T12:41:33Z | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-humbled-again-as-young-bloods-shock-reigning-premiers-20220604-p5ar37.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | true | 10 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I purchase a domain name from BrandBucket?
Every name on the BrandBucket marketplace is exclusively listed with BrandBucket. That means that all of our sellers are very
responsive, making for quick domain transfers.
A dedicated BrandBucket agent will manage your domain transfer from beginning
to end, ensuring a secure and easy transaction. They will manage the receipt of the domain into one of BrandBucket’s secure registrar
accounts and then complete the transfer to you.
1. Verification and registrar choice
After we receive the payment and verify it, we will reach out via email to confirm which registrar you want the domain transferred to.
We also provide a link to our tracking system, where you can communicate with us, check on the status of your transfer, view your invoice,
and download your logo files.
In most cases, if a domain is moved between accounts at a single registrar, the transfer is quick and usually completes within 48 hours. If a domain changes registrars (in other words, you would like to move it away from where it is currently registered), the transfer is slower. The total transfer time can then be anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days.
BrandBucket has vetted and supports the following registrars:
- GoDaddy
- Namesilo
- Uniregistry
- NameCheap
- Google Domains
- Name.com
- Amazon Route 53
- 123 Reg
- Gandi
- Dynadot
2. We request the name from the seller.
Once we know where you would like the domain transferred, BrandBucket will request the domain from the seller. All of our sellers are very
responsive, making for a quick process.
3. Transfer the name into your account
As soon as we receive the name from the seller, we start the transfer into your account and guide you through the whole process.
4. Verify with the buyer that the transfer is complete
Once we confirm that you have received the name, we consider the escrow process to be complete. Only then do we release payment to the
domain seller.
What happens after I lease a domain name from BrandBucket?
The BrandBucket lease-to-own program is available as an alternative to purchasing the name outright. You're able to buy the domain name with over monthly installments, and at the end of the lease period, if all payments are complete, you would be the new owner of the domain name.
Once you complete the checkout process for a leased domain, you will be contacted by a BrandBucket agent who will help manage your lease. The domain will be transferred from the seller to a BrandBucket escrow account, ensuring a secure hold on the domain during the lease term. We will transfer the domain to you once all payments are complete.
During the lease, you're entitled to use the domain name for your website and email; your agent will guide you through that.
Each month you will continue to receive an invoice with a balance statement. You have the right to cancel the lease any time or complete all payments early to own the domain outright.
Why choose BrandBucket?
Established in 2007, we are the original business name marketplace. Every year, we sell 1000s of premium domains to entrepreneurs and businesses like you.
All of our domain names are handpicked by branding and linguistics experts based on rigorous criteria. You can rest assured that if a domain is on the BrandBucket marketplace, it is a top-tier business name.
Almost one out of every four names sold on BrandBucket is sold to a repeat buyer or a referral, which means that people who buy from us once, keep coming back for more.
Why choose a .com domain name from BrandBucket?
The .com extension is a brand in itself. As the default domain extension of the internet, having a .com domain that is an exact match to your brand
name has numerous advantages:
- Familiarity - People are familiar with .com. Most of the brands and websites they already trust, use the .com extension. Therefore, it serves as a subtle indicator that your business is a legitimate one. A recent study by the NCC Group, a global expert in cybersecurity and risk mitigation, found that roughly half of the consumers are uncomfortable visiting websites ending with a non .com extension, and only 9% are comfortable doing so.
- Brand Protection - When you own the .com version of a domain name, you have the official online version of that name. Owning an exact-match .com can protect your brand name, as it is unlikely another serious business would use the same name when the .com extension is taken.
- Easy to Communicate - .com domains are also easy to communicate. When people hear or see your business name without a TLD, they will inevitably assume it ends in .com, making it easy for them to find you online.
What can I do with the domain I purchase from BrandBucket?
Once you have received the name into your registrar account, you will be able to:
- Use the domain as your website address.
- Setup email addresses, for instance, sales@bufferfour.com.
- Use the domain and logo on business cards and other materials.
If you don’t have a website built yet, you can put up a simple coming soon page, or you can just leave it until you are ready. You don’t need to do anything right away. Because you own the domain name, you can take your time.
Are logos included with my BrandBucket order? Can I request edits?
Our talented community of logo designers designs all logos on the BrandBucket marketplace. They are paid for their efforts, and BrandBucket owns all copyrights for the logos. We will transfer the full copyright for the logo to you upon purchase of the domain name.
Logo files are delivered to you in the following formats:
- High-resolution image file (PNG)
- Editable vector file (.AI)
Editing your design
Vector (AI) files are entirely editable in programs such as photoshop and illustrator, so you or your designer can make desired changes. If needed, we can make basic color changes/small tweaks to the logo for you after purchase. If you are looking for a complete redesign, we can connect you with a designer from our talented design community at their discretion and price.
Is a domain name from BrandBucket 100% unique?
All of our business domains are carefully chosen for their standout branding qualities. There is only one bufferfour.com. However, there may well be other businesses that are using the same brand name. In fact, with common keyword names, it is likely. That is why owning the .com is so essential. In holding the .com, you immediately establish your business as the most official version of that name. It's unlikely any serious business is going to use a brand name where the .com domain is already in use. Many companies believe that owning the matching .com version of a business name provides more protection for their brand than a trademark.
Are BrandBucket domain names trademarked?
No, and it’s not possible for us to do so. Trademarks are industry and region-specific, and to file a trademark for a name or logo, you must already be doing business as that name. Because of this, we can't trademark a name before your company is actively using it. Therefore, you will need to apply for trademark registration after you have purchased the name.
Do I have to keep my name registered when I purchase a name from BrandBucket?
When you purchase a domain from BrandBucket, you will own it 100%. However, all domain names worldwide must be kept registered at a registrar like Godaddy or similar that you choose. You will pay the registration fees to whichever registrar you decide to use. The price of registration varies at each registrar, but it generally ends up being around $10-15 per year for a .com domain name. Registration is annual but can be paid up for years in advance, which we suggest you do.
Does BrandBucket offer refunds?
BrandBucket serves as a third-party marketplace and escrow agent for domain names. We only offer refunds if either of these two conditions are met:
- The buyer contacts us within 24 hours of purchase requesting a refund.
- The seller fails to initiate the domain name transfer within 10 business days from the time of purchase.
Buyers are advised to perform all necessary diligence prior to making a purchase.
Is my BrandBucket purchase confidential?
Your purchase is 100% confidential. Any personal information you share with BrandBucket is kept private, even from the domain seller. We never publicize any sale on our marketplace.
What's the difference between a brand name, registered name, and a domain name?
Brand Name
A brand name is a name that you use to identify a family of products, services, or a single line of products or services that a company offers. For instance, Apple is the brand name used on most products manufactured by Apple, Inc. In this example, the business name and brand name are the same, a common use case.
Your brand name is who you are to your customers. It is the pillar your business's public image will be built around. The products or services you offer can also have their own brand names. You may want to create new brand names for products or services that differ from your core business offering, for example:
- UberEats - Food delivery by Uber
- Amazon Web Services - Cloud computing from Amazon
- Google Maps - Web mapping service from Google
Registered Business Name
A business name is the legally registered name of your business. You'll use your business name to create contracts, open bank accounts, pay taxes, and any other administrative related activities. Most business names contain the business's brand name, followed by the company's chosen business structure, for example:
- Walmart Inc.
- Verizon Inc.
- Grasshopper LLC
However, they don't necessarily have to be the same. In some cases, the business name is completely different from the brand name. This is most common in large businesses that have multiple brands housed under a single parent company, for example:
- Brand Name: Google
- Business Name: Alphabet Inc.
- Brand Name: MailChimp
- Business Name: The Rocket Science Group LLC
Domain Name
A domain name is your website name - the internet address where people can access your website. Think of a domain as the address to the online version of your business. Every domain is one-of-a-kind. No website has the same web address as another website.
Ideally, your domain name should be an exact match to your brand name. Think of your favorite companies. Odds are, their domain name is identical to their brand name. Apple's domain name is Apple.com; Amazon's domain name is Amazon.com. Having a matching domain ensures that people can easily find your brand online.
What are the benefits of a premium business name?
What can a top brand name with a matching .com do for your business? Here are few of the many advantages of owning a premium business domain:
Trust - Online, there are subtle clues that all of us subconsciously take into consideration to determine whether or not a business is legitimate and trustworthy. Having a great business name paired with a matching .com (by far the most trusted domain extension) signals to customers that you care about and are willing to invest in your brand. It makes your business and your brand messaging easier to trust.
Authority - Owning a .com version of a fantastic brand name is a big signal to the world that your business means business, right out of the gate. This can lead to accelerated customer acquisition, more industry partnership opportunities, and press attention.
SEO - Having a business domain that matches what customers are using in searches can lead to increased SEO, higher page ranking, and better quality traffic.
Retention - Brand retention is critical for organically acquiring and keeping customers. A short, catchy, and unique business name makes your brand easier to remember, and having a matching .com means that consumers who hear about you offline will find you easily online.
Save on marketing spend - Investing in a premium domain can save you a fortune in marketing spend down the line. You'll spend less of your valuable marketing budget and efforts on brand awareness, as your name will do much of the work for you.
How does BrandBucket price domains?
Our customers are primarily entrepreneurs looking for a quick and easy way to find a great brand name for their company. That's why when evaluating and appraising domain names, our central focus is whether they would also make great business names.
What makes a great brand name? Here are some of the branding and linguistic traits we take into consideration:
- Length - Great names are concise and to the point. The shorter, the better!
- Common phrase/expression - Names that are based on real phrases and expressions make great brand names because of their built-in familiarity and inherent catchiness.
- Letter order - Some letters are more valuable than others and better together, especially when it comes to the first letters of a name.
- Pronunciation and spelling - Names should be easy to say and understand. It should also be spelled as it sounds.
- Industry match - Names should be a good fit for a particular industry, or be broad enough to attract buyers from multiple sectors.
- Longevity - Great brand names are broad enough in scope to grow with a company as it expands and not die when trends fade.
- Uniqueness - Great brand names are easy to spot because they stand out in a crowd.
- Memorability - A brand name is no good unless people can easily remember it.
These criteria, along with historical sales data and current marketplace conditions, are used to determine whether a name is accepted to our marketplace, and how it's priced. Every name on our marketplace must score high in most or all of these categories to even be accepted. With an acceptance rate of only 10% of names submitted to our marketplace, BrandBucket sets a very high bar for the names we select.

SEREMBAN: A student of Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) Muadzam Shah, Pahang, was killed while his mother was seriously injured in an accident involving two vehicles at KM40, Jalan Seremban-Tampin, near Rumah Rakyat Kendong, Rembau, near here last night.
Rembau district police chief DSP Hazri Mohamad said in the 9.20 pm incident, the victim, identified as Shazman Sabarudin, 16, suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
He said the victim’s mother, Husnirazulia Mohd Yudin, 47, suffered serious injuries and was currently receiving treatment at the red zone in Tampin Hospital.
“The accident involved two vehicles. The two victims were travelling in a Perodua Axia car driven by a 24-year-old man, while a Proton Saga car was ferrying five individuals,” he said in a statement here today.
He said that the initial investigation found there the road was unpaved as road maintenance was being carried out along the route from Tampin to Rembau.
“In the incident, the driver of the Perodua Axia car was driving from Tampin towards Rembau and upon arrival at the scene was believed to have lost control of the vehicle due to the unpaved road conditions before entering the opposite lane and crashed into the Proton Saga car,” he said.
Hazri said the driver of the Perodua Axia sustained minor injuries while the five individuals in the Proton Saga suffered injuries and fractured legs.
He said the victim’s remains were taken to the Rembau Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem and the case was investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.-Bernama | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/mrsm-student-dies-mother-seriously-hurt-in-accident-HB9289009 | 2022-06-04T12:42:15Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/mrsm-student-dies-mother-seriously-hurt-in-accident-HB9289009 | true | 2 |
The Phase III study compared Trodelvy to chemotherapy in 543 patients with hormone-sensitive tumors that test negative for a receptor called HER2 and who had stopped responding to at least two earlier lines of therapy.
The data, presented in Chicago at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), show progression-free survival for the Trodelvy group of 5.5 months compared with 4 months before the disease began to worsen for chemotherapy patients.
"Some will argue is that really a clinically-meaningful difference?" Dr. Julie Gralow, ASCO's chief medical officer, told Reuters. "The real point here is we have proof of principle this drug works ... I'm sure it will be used."
Trodelvy, also known as sacituzumab govitecan, uses a tumor-targeting antibody to deliver an anti-cancer drug.
Patients with hormone-sensitive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer are treated with endocrine therapy combined with targeted drugs. As the disease becomes resistant, treatment is limited to chemotherapies with increasingly short durations of benefit.
At the study's first analysis, Trodelvy patients lived a median 13.9 months, compared to 12.3 months for the chemotherapy group - a difference that was not statistically significant.
"We have to wait for that to mature," Gilead Chief Executive Daniel O'Day told Reuters. "The final analysis for overall survival will most likely be in 2024 ... but we'll see if we take a look at it earlier."
The most common adverse side effects reported for Trodelvy patients were low white blood cell counts and diarrhea.
O'Day said Gilead intends to seek U.S. approval based on the recent data, pending routine discussions with the Food and Drug Administration.
Gilead in March said the study met its main goal of reducing the risk of cancer progression or death, but did not disclose any details. Shortly afterward, the company wrote down by $2.7 billion the value of its 2020 acquisition of the drug's developer, Immunomedics.
Trodelvy is already FDA-approved for previously-treated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and bladder cancer. It is being studied for use in a number of cancer types.
O'Day said Gilead expects to begin in the second half of this year a trial of Trodelvy as an initial treatment for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
The drug has a U.S. list price of $2,188 per vial, but Gilead did not provide details of the average dose or duration of treatment.
Wall Street analysts, on average, expect annual sales of the drug will top $2 billion 2026, according to Refinitiv.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has met with Finland’s prime minister and spoken to Turkey’s president as he seeks to overcome Turkish resistance to Finland and Sweden joining the alliance.
Stoltenberg, who visited Washington this week, tweeted late Friday that he met with Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin while there and discussed “the need to address Turkey’s concerns and move forward” with the Finnish and Swedish membership applications.
Russia’s war in Ukraine pushed the Nordic countries to apply to join NATO, but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accuses Sweden and Finland of supporting Kurdish militants deemed by Turkey to be terrorists.
Stoltenberg said he had a “constructive phone call” with Erdogan, calling Turkey a “valued ally” and praising Turkish efforts to broker a deal to ensure the safe transportation of grain supplies from Ukraine amid global food shortages caused by Russia’s invasion. Stoltenberg tweeted that he and Erdogan would continue their dialogue, without elaborating.
Erdogan’s office released a statement in which it said the president had emphasized that Sweden and Finland should “make it clear that they have stopped supporting terrorism,” have lifted defense export restrictions on Turkey and are “ready to show alliance solidarity.”
The Nordic states, among other countries, imposed limitations on arms sales in the wake of Turkey’s 2019 military incursion into northern Syria.
The NATO chief’s diplomatic efforts came before a gathering of senior officials from Sweden, Finland and Turkey next week in Brussels, where NATO is based, to discuss Turkey’s opposition to the applications.

Under strain from sex abuse suits, Scouts sell off camps
KILLINGWORTH, Conn. (AP) — As the financially struggling Boy Scouts sell off a number of campgrounds, conservationists, government officials and others are scrambling to find ways to preserve them as open space.
A $2.6 billion proposed bankruptcy settlement designed to pay thousands of victims of child sexual abuse has added pressure to an organization beset by years of declining enrollment, and the Scouts and their local councils have been cashing in on their extensive holdings, including properties where some of the abuse took place. Developers have bought up some. Preservation groups said they hope others can be protected, and some legislators have taken notice.
“I am emphasizing to my colleagues that there is a clear urgency here,” said U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who thinks there may be federal funds available to buy Scout properties. “We have no time to waste.”
For over a century, the Scouts and their local councils have acquired properties across the country where generations have learned to appreciate the outdoors through camping, swimming and canoeing.
In Blumenthal’s state of Connecticut, the Scouts’ Yankee Council is considering a $4.6 million offer from developers for a 252-acre property, Deer Lake, near Long Island Sound that offers camping, fishing, and hiking. The council has rejected offers from two conservation groups but is negotiating with one of them that offered a revised bid.
Sen. Blumenthal has said he’s looking into the possible use of money from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund to help in the purchase of the Connecticut camp and the other Boy Scout properties for sale across the nation. Individual states decide which projects to pay for with that money.
Other properties targeted for preservation include 96 acres of what was the Boy Scouts’ Camp Barton, on the west shore of Cayuga Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes region. It includes woodlands, streams, trails and a 75-foot (23-meter) waterfall.
“They are not making any more lakefront property,” said Fred Bonn, regional director for the Finger Lakes State Parks system. “Access to the lake is challenging, both with its topography and what is owned privately.”
Several local towns and New York state’s Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is working with the Baden-Powell Council of the Boy Scouts to try to preserve the land. A nearby 41-acre parcel already was sold by the Scouts to private interests.
It’s unclear exactly how much land across the United States belongs to the Boy Scouts, partly because it is owned by local scout councils. But evidence in the bankruptcy trial indicated the local councils own close to 2,000 properties that could be worth between $8 billion and $10 billion, said Timothy Kosnoff, an attorney who represents more than 12,000 claimants in the bankruptcy.
The proposed bankruptcy settlement with Boys Scouts of America would have its more than 250 councils contribute at least $515 million in cash and property and a $100 million interest-bearing note. Kosnoff said the Scouts will need to sell much of their land to contribute to the national settlement or, if it fails, to pay for continuing legal battles.
“I can’t predict how long it will take for all these properties to be liquidated, but I think it’s inevitable,” he said.
Some abuse victims have mixed feelings about the camps’ sale.
Joe, a victim who did not want his last name used because his family is unaware of his experience, was abused by his scout master starting at the age of 8 in the 1970s at a Connecticut camp that was sold years ago to make way for housing on Candlewood Lake. He’s not sure he wants people camping on land where scouts were once abused.
“I don’t have those warm feelings about those places,” he said. “It’s almost like ‘Poltergeist.’ Do you want your house on land where those things happened? So, I don’t know what to do with those places.”
The Boy Scouts of America said in a statement that selling the camps may be necessary in some instances to compensate victims.
“Every decision must take into account the finances, viability of potential buyers, sustainability and meeting the obligations to provide the best service to youth within their respective council,” the organization said.
Councils in states including Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have all recently sold or announced plans to sell camps.
Sen. Blumenthal said selling camps to developers goes against the tenants of an organization that is supposed to teach environmental stewardship.
“Unfortunately, local Boy Scout councils are selling to the highest bidder,” he said. “So I think it is a national challenge, but it goes to the core of what scouting means and the ethos and ethic of scouting, which they may be betraying.”
In Michigan, a consolidation of local Boy Scout councils that began a decade ago has led to the sale of numerous properties, including Silver Trails, a 269-acre camp about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Port Huron. A group called the Thumb Land Conservancy tried to buy it in 2019, but lost out when the scouts sold it to a gravel-mining company.
“They’ve sold off, I think 15 camps statewide,” said Bill Collins, the conservancy group’s executive director and a former Boy Scout, who used to camp at Silver Trails. “So, people now have to drive sometimes a couple of hundred miles across the state to go to camp. Well, that makes most of day camp activities unfeasible and things like weekend camp outs much more of a chore for everyone involved.”
In Maine, the Androscoggin Land Trust has a purchase agreement to buy the 95-acre Boy Scout Camp Gustin near Lewiston, which includes a large pond and a bog that is filled with wildlife. Aimee Dorval, the trust’s executive director, said the state government’s Land for Maine’s Future program has agreed to chip in half of the $415,000 appraised value of the property. The rest is being raised through private donations.
The purchase would be part of the trust’s larger effort to preserve about 1,000-acres of open space along the Androscoggin River near Lewiston, land that also has been targeted by developers. The trust plans to continue allowing Boy Scouts to use the land while opening it up to the larger community for camping and other activities.
Dorval said it’s important for groups like hers to step up as these camps are put up for sale.
“There are accredited land trusts all across the nation that can take this on,” she said. “I think it would be foolish if people stayed away from this because of the (Boy Scout abuse) controversy. To us, it’s not about that. It is about conservation and about trying to preserve an area for youth and nature-based activities and historic scouting access.”

The trust plans to continue allowing Boy Scouts to use the land while opening it up to the larger community for camping and other activities.
Dorval said it’s important for groups like hers to step up as these camps are put up for sale.
“There are accredited land trusts all across the nation that can take this on,” she said. “I think it would be foolish if people stayed away from this because of the (Boy Scout abuse) controversy. To us, it’s not about that. It is about conservation and about trying to preserve an area for youth and nature-based activities and historic scouting access.”

Aron Lynas has signed a one-year deal at Dumbarton, a day after announcing his departure from Albion Rovers.
The 26-year-old defender, who can also operate in midfield, was captain at Cliftonhill last season and leaves after two years, having played over 100 times for the Coatbridge club.
In his time playing under boss Brian Reid, Lynas missed only two league games last season.
Lynas announced his departure from Rovers by saying: "All good things must come to an end, my time at Albion Rovers is up.
"I would like to thank management, fans, and everyone involved with the club for my time there.
"To captain the club was a great privilege and honour. I wish the club all the very best in the future."
Lynas was announced on a one-year deal this afternoon by Dumbarton, who were relegated via the League One play-offs last season, with manager Stevie Farrell saying: "Aron's versatility is a major asset to his game and it is well known that he will be in a 100 per cent shift every time he plays.
"We look forward to working with him."

Lincoln J. McCormick
Lincoln J. McCormick, 8 1/2 passed away May 29, 2022 wrapped in the arms of his loving parents.
A Service to Celebrate his life will be held 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 6, 2022 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 246 South Clark Street, Forest City, IA 50436 with Rev. Rod Hopp officiating.
Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., where the family will be present until 3:30 p.m. at the church on Sunday, June 5, 2022.
Memorials may be directed in care of Lincoln’s family.
Comfortable attire is suggested; seeing others in Super Hero, Minecraft and Forest City Indian gear always made Lincoln happy!
Lincoln Joseph McCormick was born November 7, 2013 in Mason City, the eldest son of William Joseph Elias and Danielle Mae (Dolphin) McCormick. He grew up in Forest City with his siblings, Elizabeth, Ana, Evie and Elias. He just completed 2nd grade at Forest City Elementary. He had dreams of becoming an engineer and utilizing his unmatched problem solving skills to change the world.
From a young age, Lincoln shared his gift of compassion with everyone around him. He cared deeply for his siblings, always watching over them (even if they squabbled just a little). His love for people was shared with his classmates, making friends with anyone and packing extra lunches, just in case. Lincoln was always ready to help, whether it was fixing toys and tinkering or assisting his teachers and fellow students in class. His body and mind never stopped moving. Lincoln was constantly researching his next goal or project and finding the resources necessary to complete it. Whether it was long video game conquests or 3D printing new nerf guns, his eyes were always set on success.
Living on the acreage taught Lincoln how to depend on his family. He took great pride in helping in the garden and providing the harvest to feed them. His smile and laugh were nothing short of contagious. You could see his huge heart through his smiling eyes.
Prior to his untimely passing, Lincoln had a fun and eventful weekend with his family. He was quoted saying “This was the best weekend ever!”
Those left to carry on his story are his parents, William and Danielle; siblings, Elizabeth, Anastasia “Ana”, Genevieve “Evie”, and Elias; paternal grandparents, Philip Lincoln and Christi Rae (Feddersen) McCormick of Clear Lake; maternal grandparents, Dale Eugene and Cynthia “Cindy” Mae (Gamble) Dolphin of Britt; a great-grandmother, Delores Mae Gamble of Garner; as well as numerous beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.
In Heaven he was reunited with his maternal and paternal great-grandparents, a younger sibling who passed before birth, and his dog Jax. | https://kiow.com/2022/06/04/lincoln-j-mccormick/ | 2022-06-04T13:10:10Z | https://kiow.com/2022/06/04/lincoln-j-mccormick/ | false | 2 |

It's that time of year again as the calendar flips over to June! Apple's developer conference kicks off on Monday and we've seen a flurry of last-minute rumors even as much of what to expect remains a mystery.
This week saw rumors about some of the changes coming in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, while we also heard details about the iPhone 14 lineup we're not expecting to see until the usual September timeframe, so read on below for all the details from the week leading up to WWDC!
What to Expect at WWDC 2022: iOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9 and Possibly New Macs
The wait is finally almost over! Apple's annual developers conference WWDC begins Monday with Apple's opening keynote at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, and while software is always the focus of the event, there is certainly a chance of a hardware announcement or two.
As usual, we've rounded up everything we expect to see at Monday's keynote, some of which involves late-breaking news highlighted below.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has aimed to announce a new MacBook Air with an M2 chip at WWDC this year, but the unveil could be pushed back due to lockdowns in China affecting production. On the other hand, Gurman believes that a full-scale presentation of Apple's long-rumored AR/VR headset is unlikely at the event.
iOS 16 Lock Screen Enhancements, Redesigned Mac Apps, and More Expected at WWDC
Bloomberg's other WWDC expectations include "major enhancements" to the iPhone's lock screen on iOS 16 such as wallpapers with widget-like capabilities, along with redesigned Mac apps and more.
One of the built-in apps that will receive a redesign on macOS 13 will reportedly be System Preferences, which is expected to receive an overhaul that will make it more similar to the Settings app on the iPhone and iPad.
Apple Aiming to Make iPad More Mac-Like With iPadOS 16 Multitasking Changes
Yet another report from Gurman ahead of WWDC claims that iPadOS 16 will feature a redesigned multitasking interface and the ability to resize app windows on the screen.
The multitasking improvements should allow for a more Mac-like experience on the iPad, which is something that many power users have been asking for. However, the extent of the changes remains to be seen.
Apple's WWDC 2022 Event Page Features Animated AR Trading Cards
Apple this week added WWDC 2022 to its events website, and if you visit the page on an iPhone or iPad, there is a fun augmented reality easter egg.
For WWDC 2022, Apple has created a package of trading cards that you can view in augmented reality — there's even a rare Craig Federighi card. Once placed on a surface using the AR interface, you can tap the pack of cards to open it up and see an array of colorful Memoji faces.
iPhone 14 Pro Rumored to Feature Always-On Display Mode
iOS 16 will reportedly include support for a future always-on display mode on iPhones. This feature could debut exclusively on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max when they launch later this year.
An always-on display mode could result in iPhone 14 Pro models persistently displaying glanceable information, such as the time, with the refresh rate dropping down to as low as 1Hz to preserve battery life.
iPhone 14 Lineup Expected to Start With Increased 6GB RAM
All four iPhone 14 models launching later this year will be equipped with 6GB of RAM, according to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce.
TrendForce also said iPhone 14 Pro models will be upgraded to a faster and more power efficient type of RAM known as LPDDR5, while the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models are expected to stick with LPDDR4X like the iPhone 13 lineup.

Maryland Weather: 95-Degree Heat & Plenty Of Humidity
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — If you thought Memorial Day was warm, things are really heating up in Maryland today.
Our Tuesday is shaping up to be hot with a forecasted afternoon high of 95 degrees. Factor in the humidity, and it will feel sizzling outside.
For perspective, our record temperature for this time of year is 97 degrees, which was set at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport back in 2011.
Given how hot and humid it will be, you’re not going to want to spend extended amounts of time outside. If you do, drink plenty of water.
Things will cool off slightly heading into the evening hours with mostly clear skies and a low of 73 that will feel a little bit warmer.
We won’t get much relief on Wednesday when we’re once again looking at 90-degree temperatures.
Like Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon will be sunny, hot and humid. That said, we do have a chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm.
Temperatures won’t dip much until Thursday when we’re looking at 80-degree weather with the potential for some rain and a storm.
Friday will be partly sunny with a chance for a morning shower. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s or low 80s. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620570304898/maryland-weather-95-degree-heat-plenty-of-humidity | 2022-06-04T13:25:18Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620570304898/maryland-weather-95-degree-heat-plenty-of-humidity | false | 2 |

(NEXSTAR) – Talk about the opposite of a Hollywood ending.
VHS tapes, once regarded as a breakthrough medium for consumers and a major disruptor of the entertainment industry, have all but disappeared from the home video market. By the turn of the 21st Century, major retailers and rental outlets had started to embrace a new medium — the DVD — thereby sounding the (surround-sound) death knell for VHS.
Major film distributors continued to produce and sell VHS tapes for several years alongside DVDs. But in the mid-2000s, most began to abandon the format, and little by little, fewer VHS titles were being produced.
Then, in 2006, David Cronenberg’s “A History of Violence” was released on VHS, marking what is widely believed to be the last instance of a major motion picture to be released in that format, according to a 2008 report from the Los Angeles Times.
But while “A History of Violence” is likely the last major film to be committed to VHS for the retail video market, some Disney enthusiasts claim that Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment continued to produce VHS tapes exclusively for members of its Disney Movie Club, citing a late-2006 release of “Cars” as the last VHS sent to members. Representatives for the Disney Movie Club and ShopDisney could not confirm which VHS titles were the last sent to members of the Disney Movie Club, nor when they were released.
In any case, DVDs had already become the medium of choice for most home-movie enthusiasts well before “A History of Violence” hit theaters. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t strong demand for VHS to this day, albeit in the collectors’ market.
“Everybody in the world used VHS. They were played all over the planet,” said Joe Maddalena, the executive vice president of Texas-based Heritage Auctions, ahead of the auction house’s first-ever VHS-only auction this month.
Maddalena warned, however, that VHS collectors are on the forefront of a “brand-new hobby,” so it’s unclear which titles, specifically, will become some of the most sought-after. As it currently stands, early activity from collectors seems to indicate interest in first-edition copies of films released in the ‘80s, at the height of the VHS-rental boom. But that could change in coming years, when tapes of these type become rarer. Collectors may soon start to covet special-edition VHS releases, or more obscure B-movies, or, possibly, even some of the last VHS tapes to be printed, like “A History of Violence.”
“We’re just not at that stage of the hobby yet,” Maddalena told Nexstar. “You really need the auction market to come along … to find out where it’s at.” | https://www.abc4.com/news/top-stories/what-was-the-last-movie-released-on-vhs/ | 2022-06-04T13:34:41Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/top-stories/what-was-the-last-movie-released-on-vhs/ | false | 31 |
The sons of five former Leicester City players are currently plying their trade in the youth ranks of Premier League clubs.
Among them are some great talents with immense potential, meaning their careers could go on to match or even surpass all their fathers achieved in their successful careers.
Apologies in advance if some of these make you feel old, but below is a look at six sons of five former Foxes currently looking to earn themselves a Premier League career.

Charlie Savage - Man United
Charlie was actually born in Leicester, though his father Robbie had moved on to play for Birmingham City by then. Like his dad, he is a central midfielder who has come up through the ranks at Man United.
Robbie was at City's training ground in recent months to watch Charlie play against Leicester for United's under-23s, where the young Wales under-19 international impressed at right-back.
Savage junior made his debut for United in the Champions League in December 2021 while, in an emotional moment, his father was commentating on the match for BT Sport.
Charlie Wellens - Man United
Just like the Savages, Richie Wellens' son Charlie has followed in his father's footsteps by playing central midfield for Man United. He is the same age as his first-name namesake Charlie so they have progressed through the ranks together while playing in the same position.
Wellens is out of contract this summer but a decision on his future is yet to be announced. He has already been linked with a move to Roma where he would reunite with former United boss Jose Mourinho.
Jaden & Reigan Heskey - Man City
Former Leicester striker and hometown hero Emile Heskey has not one but two sons playing for Manchester City.
Jaden, 16, is about to start a two-year scholarship at Man City and has already agreed a professional contract which will take effect on his 17th birthday. The young forward is highly rated at City and they moved early to tie him down to a deal. His younger brother Reigan also plays for City.
Jayden Danns - Liverpool
If the others haven't done so already, this one will make you feel old. Neil Danns' 16-year-old son Jaden is currently plying his trade with Liverpool under-18s.
He has represented England at under-16 level and broke into the Reds' youth team a year early. The midfielder is also highly rated by his club and has a bright future ahead of him in the game.
Henry Wise - Watford
Rounding out this list is 22-year-old Henry Wise, whose Premier League career looks like it could well be over, for now at least.
After progressing through the ranks at QPR, Arsenal and Derby; Wise moved to Watford in 2019. He has played as a central midfielder for their under-23s and, despite being 22, has only made one senior appearance: from the bench in an FA Cup defeat to Tranmere Rovers.
It has just been announced that Wise will be leaving Watford, who have been relegated to the Championship, at the end of his contract on June 30. | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-savage-heskey-wellens-7164864 | 2022-06-04T13:36:14Z | https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-savage-heskey-wellens-7164864 | true | 1 |

Finding a budgeting app that works for you
NORFOLK, Va. - For months, inflation has been making everything more expensive.
Now might be a good time to consider making a monthly budget if you don't already follow one. Forbes ranked some of the best budgeting apps on the market right now .
Topping the list for monitoring daily spending was Intuit Mint . It's free and syncs to a lot of your personal accounts like your credit card, debit card and checking/savings account. According to its website, you can also put your spending into categories and get notifications when you're approaching your limits.
How about for the couples in relationships? Honeydue , which is also a clever play on words, lets couples coordinate their bills, get reminders on payments and create joint accounts.
The app is free and encouraged for people just starting out who are interested in tracking their spending.
People who are more interested in planning for the future rather than tracking the past might want to consider Goodbudget . According to the company's website, "It's based on an envelope budgeting system in which you portion out your monthly income toward specific spending categories."
Unlike some others on the market, you have to manually enter information from your financial accounts.
How each person decides to budget their finances is personal. You'll need to see how involved you want the app to be and how much you're willing to pay.

Deborah Vance is a trailblazer in a rut. Ava Daniels is hired to help the older woman freshen up her jokes.
That's the unconventional mentor-mentee relationship at the heart of Hacks, the Emmy Award-winning intergenerational comedy from HBO Max which just released its second season.
Deborah (played by Jean Smart) and Ava (played by Hannah Einbinder) air each other's dirty laundry. They snipe at each other. One of them even tries to bankrupt the other through litigation.
Jen Statsky, one of the creators of Hacks, says the writing team had a term for the dynamic between Deborah and Ava: Dark Mentorship.
"It isn't as pure as just one person or the other person always inspiring the other, they hurt each other in many ways," she says. "It wouldn't be realistic if they were just two perfect people."
This premise of two imperfect people trying to evolve while doing work they love is "the DNA of the show."
Jen Statsky spoke with All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro. Below are highlights from their conversation.
The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
On female comics working and thriving in a male-dominated industry:
As far as Deborah and women who came up during Deborah's time, I do think she needed to be twice as tough and twice as undeniable to get half as far. I just think that the rules were very, very different for women like her and you weren't allowed to show vulnerability the way other comedians were. Which in fact means that Deborah and women like her were doing comedy was such a handicap, because vulnerability is such an important part of being a comedian and what makes comedians interesting. I think, in the show, we see that Deborah's material really starts to click the more vulnerable and honest she is.
On trusting the process even when you have everything to lose:
[Deborah has] reached a level of success that a lot of comedians reach where she could kind of just coast, she could just find a way to do the same old material and do these big shows that bring in a lot of money, but she wouldn't be leveling up to a new creative stratosphere for her. But in doing trying to do that, it's really scary. It's really hard. And I do think that one of the things we set out to do in season two was kind of do as faithfully as we could a depiction of what the creative process is like and how difficult it is.
On being inspired by comic legends:
One of the greatest things about the show is that we have heard from these female comedians and artists who are massive influences to us. People like Rosie O'Donnell or Wanda Sykes or Susie Essman. We wanted to make the show for women like that. We wanted to honor women who have been doing what they do so well for so long and maybe haven't been celebrated, or certainly haven't been celebrated as much as they should. And then we were very touched by the idea of how many women coming up in comedy or the arts because it was such an unwelcoming place for them didn't get to tell their story, didn't keep going. Because the path was so difficult and it made so much harder for them. So, we very much so wanted to highlight that, women who had to make a difficult choice, whose stories we didn't get to hear.
On celebrating "one of the queerest shows on television":
It wasn't something we set out to say, oh, and this will be a queer show. It wasn't designed like that. What it really was, was wanting to depict this character Deborah Vance and her ecosystem very honestly. And I think that someone like Deborah and in history, women like that have become such important figures in the queer community. And we just felt that she would naturally be surrounded by characters who happen to be queer. For our show, you know, the idea was just to always depict the world as we see it and as we want it to be and our world is full of wonderful queer people who are living their lives and so that was kind of just the intention behind that.
On the complete, perfect meal from three fast-food chains:
Laurie Metcalf has a line in episode three about going to Burger King for the burgers, McDonald's for the fries and Wendy's for the Frosty, as one complete meal. And I do feel like that is like the perfect fast food meal. That [scene] is my gift to Hacks season two.

Putin on brink of losing EU cash cow as bloc to strike gas deal with Egypt and Israel
VlADIMIR PUTIN'S energy empire could be dealt a hammer blow as the bloc looks set to strike a gas deal with Egypt and Israel this month as it weans itself of Russia's gas, a draft document revealed.
Russia: EU 'completely wrong' to rely on gas says Timmermans
Amid the Ukraine war, the EU is continuing to purchase Russia’s natural gas due to its huge reliance on the fossil fuel, handing billions to the Kremlin. And as Russian supplies account for around 40 percent of all its gas imports, this has made it difficult for the bloc to address sanctioning gas. While it has not yet included a gas ban in sanctions package, it has unveiled its REPowerEU strategy which details the blueprint to phase out imports of Russian gas and oil by 2027.
Part of that plan involves purchasing gas from alternative suppliers like Israel and Egypt, which the bloc now appears to be pressing ahead with.
According to a draft document, the EU will sign a gas deal with Egypt later this month.
The draft statement also notes that Israel, Egypt and the EU are all poised to sign a memorandum when Commission President Ursula von der Leyen heads to Cairo.
The draft document reads: “Security of gas supply is a common major concern.
“Egypt and the EU will work together on the stable delivery of gas to the EU.”
The deal could involve Israeli natural gas being sent to Egypt to be liquified at the country’s processing plants.
This liquified natural gas (LNG) would then be shipped into the bloc.
Romania is reportedly one of the keenest EU advocates of this, saying in April it would help to bolster the bloc’s energy security.
And this is not the only tactic floated to help the EU slash its dependence on Russian energy.
The European Commission has also been pushing for an oil embargo, but the proposal needs approval from all 27 members of the bloc.
READ MORE: Chemical fears as 10 million tons of ‘new class’ of gases found in air
But Hungary has fiercely opposed an embargo, calling it a “red line”.
Now, Spanish MEP Luis Garicano has come up with an “alternative plan”.
In an op-ed for Politico, he argued: ”The EU has sent over €50billion (£43billion) to Russia ever since the war broke out (and only €12bn to Ukraine).
“This is the problem, but it is also part of the solution.
“Russia is completely wired to Europe. Much of its gas exports come by pipeline, and so does a third of its oil. Without European buyers, Putin cannot finance his war.”

He argued that a tariff, instead of sanctions, could be a better way to punish Putin and swerve Hungary’s opposition as it continues to delay action from being taken.
Mr Garicano said: “There is an alternative… an alternative that can be adopted by a simple majority of member states."
He argued: “The Russians are currently taking discounts of 35 percent or so to sell their oil to China and India, which indicates that a tariff below that level would largely be paid by the Russians.
“Thus, a 30 percent tariff would mean the EU economy would take a small hit, but Russia’s would suffer very substantial damage.” | https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1620631/putin-eu-gas-egypt-israel-repowereu-russia-oil-sanctions-lng | 2022-06-04T13:59:00Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1620631/putin-eu-gas-egypt-israel-repowereu-russia-oil-sanctions-lng | false | 1 |

If you often have trouble falling asleep or waking up, Amazon customers are raving about this Hatch Restore sound machine with a sunrise alarm clock that they say helps them drift to sleep quickly and wake up refreshed.
Priced at $130 on Amazon, the Hatch Restore sound machine includes a library of soothing sounds, a soft-glow reading light and a sunrise alarm clock that helps you wake up gently without the startling noise of traditional alarms.
The sunrise alarm clock on the Hatch Restore quietly and naturally wakes you up as if the sun is rising, which is supposed to support healthy levels of cortisol (the stress hormone). It includes a free trial of Hatch Sleep Membership, which gives you access to a growing library of content like meditations, sleep stories, soundscapes and more.
The device requires Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and can be controlled through an app on your phone, which means you can put the device away from your bed if you don’t have room on your nightstand.
With nearly 4,000 5-star reviews, the Hatch Restore has a total average rating of 4.4 stars out of 5. Customers say it helps them fall asleep quickly and is easy to use, with most reviews mentioning that the sunrise alarm is the best feature.
One reviewer who gave it 5 stars wrote that they love the simple design and that there are so many features rolled into one.
“Helped me sleep so much better on the very first night,” they wrote. “The sunrise alarm is such a peaceful way to wake up and the sounds included are exactly what I was looking for.”
Another 5-star review was written one week after purchasing the machine, with the customer saying they love it so far.
“Set up was really easy and intuitive from the app, I loved seeing all the things I could customize like light color, alarm sounds and my nighttime routine,” they wrote. “I’ve been waking up earlier with less snoozing since using this product because the light and alarm come on gradually to wake me up before my actual alarm goes off. I’m really looking forward to all the meditation and sleep story content next!”
Of course, not everyone loves the device, with some reviewers saying it simply didn’t help them sleep and a few complaints that it doesn’t work when not connected to Wi-Fi, which means the alarm may not go off if your internet goes out in the middle of the night.
For a lower-priced option, this Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock is currently on sale for $33.98 (regularly priced at $40).
For a gentle wake-up experience, the alarm clock gradually gets brighter from 10% to 100% over the course of 30 minutes and has seven alarm sound options, including ocean waves, wind chimes, piano music and more. It also works as an FM radio and bedside lamp or nightlight that can be easily turned on and off for reading at night or if you have to get out of bed during the night.
If you struggle with falling asleep but don’t need an alarm, this Magicteam Sound Machine has 29,000 5-star reviews and is currently on sale for $19.99.
The Magicteam Sound Machine comes with 20 sleep sounds including white noise, rain, ocean, birds and bonfire. It has 32 levels of volume and can be set to continuous play or on a timer for one to five hours. It is also quite small, so it can fit practically anywhere and can even be packed in a suitcase so you can use it while traveling.
This Jack & Rose White Noise Machine is also on sale, currently priced at $26. This sound machine includes a nightlight and 16 sounds like flowing water, rain and chirping insects.
The machine can also be used for babies, as it includes lullabies and a heartbeat sound, which mimics the sound of a mother’s womb and can help babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
If you need complete silence while sleeping or find that sound machines simply don’t help, you may want to try some other sleep accessories, like a cooling blanket, essential oil diffuser or a sleep mask.
This Jack & Rose diffuser has an adorable mid-century design and comes in three colors. Currently 35% off at $26, it has nearly 4,000 5-star reviews. The diffuser is ideal for a large room and has three timer options.
For a quality sleep mask, this Mavogel Cotton Sleep Eye Mask has more than 35,000 5-star reviews and is currently marked down to $9.98. You’ll also find weighted sleep masks, like the popular Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask.
The Nodpod works by applying gentle pressure to your head and eyes. Priced at $34, it is adjustable and elastic-free, but does have a strap, so you can sleep on your side, back, stomach or even sit upright without it falling off. The blackout design means it completely blocks out light to help you relax and fall asleep quickly.
Could you use some extra help falling and staying asleep?

'Know Before You Go' onto fire-impacted public lands
Over the past five years, wildland fire has impacted the landscape of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests in northcentral Colorado and southeast Wyoming. Though stabilization and restoration work continues, visitors should be aware of risk and take precautions when visiting recently burned areas.
In 2021, the Muddy Slide, Morgan Creek and Black Mountain Fires burned a cumulative 12,097 acres on National Forest System lands managed by the MBR. In the past five years, local wildfires have burned more than 391,000 acres of NFS lands, with the acreage rising higher when considering other adjacent federal, state and private lands.
Regardless of size or intensity, fire brings changes to the landscape. The five years immediately following a wildfire have an increased risk of hazardous post-fire impacts including flooding, falling hazard trees and the spread of noxious weeds.
‘Know Before You Go’ and seek out on-the-ground condition reports before you visit. Forest Service district offices are great sources of information, as well as official social media pages and the MBR web site.
Information about recreation site status, maps and post-wildfire management efforts can be found on the NFS website and social media channels: @FS_MBRTB on Twitter or @FSMBRTB on Facebook.
Yellowstone has first bison goring of year
JACKSON (WNE) — Summer is once again here in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, at least as evidenced by the first bison goring of a visitor to Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone National Park reported its first bison goring of the 2022 season, sending out a press release Tuesday afternoon that said an Ohio woman got within 10 feet of a bison Monday morning on a boardwalk near Black Sand Basin just north of Old Faithful.
The woman approached the bison, which gored her and threw her 10 feet into the air.
She sustained a puncture wound and other injuries, park officials said in a press release, and was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Officials did not provide information on the severity of her condition.
Bison, park officials said, have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal.
"They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans," they stated.
Last year, the first goring happened in late June when another midwesterner — a 30-year-old woman from Ann Arbor, Michigan — got too close to one of the territorial herbivores and was bucked into the air.
Park regulations require visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from bison, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, deer and coyotes, and 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
Park officials have said that Yellowstone usually experiences one or two gorings a year, on average, events that are typically precipitated by humans getting too close.
But some years, human-bison-air encounters are particularly acute, like in 2015, when five people were injured by the animal Wyoming adopted as its state symbol.
Wolverines again proposed for Endangered Species Act protection
JACKSON (WNE) — Wolverines are once again proposed to be listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act.
That’s the result of a Wednesday ruling in federal court that marked the latest swing in a decades-long see-saw over the mustelids’ status under federal law.
Judge Donald Molloy, of the U.S. District Court for Montana, said in a 15-page decision that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must revisit a 2020 decision in which it decided against listing the species as “endangered” or “threatened.” Molloy said that “serious errors undermine the Service’s decision” and gave the agency 18 months to reconsider its ruling.
Molloy’s order came after environmentalists challenged the 2020 decision to withhold protections. They argued that wolverines face localized extinction as a result of climate change, habitat fragmentation and low genetic diversity.
The 2020 decision, which came under the Trump administration, was based on research suggesting the animals’ prevalence was expanding, not contracting.
Biologists estimate that fewer than 300 wolverines exist in the lower 48 states, where environmental groups are calling for them to be listed. Populations in Canada and Alaska are relatively healthy.
Wednesday’s decision doesn’t offer wolverines protection under the Endangered Species Act.
It also won’t change much of how wolverines are managed in Wyoming. The state considers them a “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” and manages them as non-game species, meaning hunting them is prohibited.
Between 2001 and 2008, researchers identified four adult wolverines regularly inhabiting the Tetons, with kits — in the years they were reared — beefing the population up to seven. But in 2015, researchers trying to determine the impacts of backcountry recreation on wolverine numbers in the Tetons were only able to find one animal.
State wildlife officials were unavailable Friday to update those numbers. | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/news/out-and-about/article_a2b23a82-9393-572c-b6fd-da9fbc5c020e.html | 2022-06-04T14:12:50Z | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rawlinstimes/news/out-and-about/article_a2b23a82-9393-572c-b6fd-da9fbc5c020e.html | true | 1 |
The Real Reason Lady Gaga’s New Song Replaced ‘Take My Breath Away’ In Top Gun: Maverick, According To The Director
Those who took the time to see Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick over the holiday weekend – and based on the box office results , it was a lot of you – know that the sequel opened with two very familiar pieces of music. The first was the official Top Gun theme, composed by Harold Faltermeyer. And then, once the jets begin to take off from the decks of the aircraft carrier, Kenny Loggins’ hit song “Danger Zone” kicks in. Immediately, we’re right back into the late 1980s, pumping our fists and shouting for Maverick to take to the skies and take down a faceless enemy. But if you also wanted to hear the very famous love song from 1987’s Top Gun , “Take My Breath Away,” it didn’t appear… but for good reason.
In place of the Berlin track “Take My Breath Away,” Top Gun: Maverick relies on a brand new track from Lady Gaga. It’s a beautiful and emotional song, and one that Tom Cruise says became the beating heart of the sequel . But Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski had yet another reason for not bringing “Take My Breath Away” back for the 2022 movie, and told CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast :
That makes so much sense. The Berlin track is definitely associated with Maverick and Charlie (Kelly McGillis), mainly because the music video created for the tune heavily featured footage from Top Gun , helping to make the movie and the song more popular.
But Joseph Kosinski has already given the reasons why McGillis and co-star Meg Ryan didn’t return for the sequel , and so taking it the extra step, it makes sense that the musical cue associated with McGillis’ character Charlie would be dropped in favor of Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand.” As more people hear the song as part of the movie, Kosinski has talked about the double meaning found in the track’s lyrics , and fans discovered that Lady Gaga only got the part because Tom Cruise fired 21 Pilots , who originally were supposed to work on tunes for the sequel. That’s how the rumor goes, anyway.
If you haven’t yet seen Top Gun: Maverick, try to grab tickets. The reviews have been off the charts positive , and we expect the movie to continue to perform well until Jurassic World: Dominion roars into theaters on June 10. Keep track of that and all of the 2022 upcoming movies by relying on our up-to-date chart of planned openings. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620997117136/the-real-reason-lady-gaga-s-new-song-replaced-take-my-breath-away-in-top-gun-maverick-according-to-the-director | 2022-06-04T14:15:27Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620997117136/the-real-reason-lady-gaga-s-new-song-replaced-take-my-breath-away-in-top-gun-maverick-according-to-the-director | true | 1 |

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — She wrote notes to her family, hiding them so that they could be found later and loved to feed animals on the family's ranch. He liked to sit in the back of the school bus so he could talk with other kids.
Family members were having funerals Saturday for the two 10-year-olds, Makenna Elrod and Rojelio Torres. They were among the 19 students killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, along with two teachers.

Makenna Lee Elrod
Her family asked in the obituary on the funeral home's website that people attending a celebration of Makenna's life at First Baptist Church wear purple to honor her. The family called her “a light to all who knew her.”
She was full of life and loved softball, gymnastics and singing and dancing, her family said. She was a 4-H Club member who also loved to go to the family ranch with her father.
Family said her smile would light up a room. Her family also remembered her as a natural leader who loved school.
The New York Daily News reported that Makenna gave friendship bracelets to the people closest to her.
“She was beautiful, funny, smart, and amazing,” an aunt wrote on a GoFundMe page. “She had the biggest heart and loved her family and friends so much.”

Rojelio Fernandez Torres
Each morning as he boarded the school bus, he'd ask to sit in the back because that is where the “visiting” happens, his school bus driver told The Associated Press. He was “like a bull," funny and charismatic, she said. He loved hot Takis.
He got up at 5:30 a.m. on those mornings to get ready for school, the Wall Street Journal reported. An aunt told San Antonio’s KSAT-TV that Rojelio was intelligent and hardworking.
His family described him in the obituary on the funeral home's website as outgoing and “always eager to help.” Rojelio loved being outside, and his hobbies included Pokemon and playing football and video games. “He always had a smile on his face.”
“He was a loving person,” another aunt told The New York Times. “He loved his siblings."

Tamil film Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil released on Friday, June 3, 2022, amidst unprecedented hype. On May 29, 1986, Kamal released Vikram, an action-thriller starring an ensemble of actors Sathyaraj, Lissy, Amjad Khan, Ambika, Dimple Kapadia, and Janagaraj. The film, directed by Rajashekar, was adapted from the novel by the same by the famous writer Sujatha. Now, more than 35 years later, they are using Vikram as the title for a totally different movie.
Vikram (2022), which deals with organised crime, is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who hails from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. Apart from a short film, Kanagaraj has directed feature films including Managaram, Kaithi and the super hit film Master. Known for his well-choreographed stunt scenes, Kanagaraj was expected to push the envelope on the violent scenes in this Kamal-starrer.
Over the last few weeks, the team behind Vikram has released teasers, trailers and singles in a concerted effort to market the movie to the masses. The song, ‘Pathala Pathala’, written in Chennai slang, is already burning up the charts. A melody on Haasan’s relationship with a baby has also been released.
Trade analysts are betting that Vikram will make more than Rs 150 crore over the weekend. This is a landmark figure and marks Vikram as a comeback movie for Haasan after four years. The Ulaga Nayagan’s last movie in theatres was Vishwaroopam II (2018).
The new Vikram has one of the best ensemble casts in south movies in recent times. Sethupathi is the rising star in Tamil cinema, and Faasil in the Malayalam film industry. The presence of these two stars and their fans will be an asset to the film. Before the film released, it was leaked to fans that Suriya has a small but pivotal role in the film.We are filled with immeasurable love , gratitude and pride for @Suriya_offl ! #KamalHaasan #Vikram #VikramBookNow pic.twitter.com/4BLPSrZLfC

Then and now
1986’s Vikram was an espionage thriller. The present movie’s tag line ‘Once Upon A Time, There Lived A Ghost’ has the audience intrigued. The connection between the 1986 movie and the 2022 film remains elusive. However, Kanagaraj is on record saying that the connection is at best tenuous.
1986’s Vikram did not do well as expected. The failure was widely attributed to a layered, complex and incomprehensible script by Haasan, who had based his screenplay on a story published in 'Kumudam' magazine by writer Sujatha. The plot of the movie revolved around a missile that goes missing under suspicious circumstances.
The new Vikram has Haasan’s voice stating: “If there is a forest, the lion, the tiger and the leopard will hunt.” The voice-over adds that in this forest, once the sun sets, it’s not nature, but Haasan's character who decides who will survive.
Kanagaraj has made it amply clear that his intention was to deliver a high-octane thriller. Just looking at the trailer, one can see there are several cuts of action sequences - without giving away the whole story.
The use of social media and the traditional press is unprecedented for a Haasan movie. This will certainly go a long way in bringing in young fans to the movie. On video sharing website YouTube, there are already several videos of Haasan giving out interviews in several languages. There are also more than a couple of videos on the link between the 1986 film and the present movie.
More details about the connection across all of Kanagaraj’s films have been revealed. A closer analysis of the trailer for Vikram shows that the film is connected in subtle ways to both Kaithi and Master, both of which were directed by Kanagaraj. The director has also revealed his plans to connect all his movies in ways that may not be immediately apparent to the casual viewer.
It’s obvious that Kamal is coming back to cinema after a gap of four years, during which time he contested in the 2021 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. The actor had taken time out from the movies to hit the campaign trail. He had also for a significant period hosted the reality show Bigg Boss on Vijay TV.
Right from his first film Maanagaram (2017), Lokesh Kanagaraj has favoured multi-starrers. Two major stars of Tamil cinema, Vijay and ‘Makkal Selvan’ Vijay Sethupathi, acted in his film Master, which released last year.
Like Kanagaraj's other movies, Vikram also is a multi-starrer.
Kanagaraj, in interviews with the media, has explained that Haasan, known for meddling with his directors, never once interfered with the creative process. Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International is the producer of the movie.
Vikram (2022) promises to be a treat for lovers of the action genre. Most of the film has been shot at night.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, M.K. Stalin, is distributing the film.
We seem to be heading towards a landmark movie in the Tamil film industry.

Heavy rain from tropical system expected in parts of Florida, Cuba, Bahamas
MIAMI (AP) — Parts of Florida braced for heavy rain and wind Saturday as a storm system that battered Mexico moves across the state.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm once known as Agatha in the Pacific Ocean will be known as Alex in the Atlantic Ocean basin, once it reaches tropical storm status.
At 8 a.m. EDT, a tropical storm warning was in effect for the Florida Keys, Florida Bay, portions of the state’s East and West coast, Lake Okeechobee, the northwestern Bahamas and several Cuban provinces.
The storm’s center was located about 45 miles (70 kilometers) south-southwest of Ft. Myers, Florida, and about 160 miles (255 kilometers) southwest of Vero Beach. It was moving northeast at 18 mph (30 kph). The storm is expected to reach tropical storm strength off the Florida coast by Saturday night and is expected to strengthen through Monday as it moves away from Florida and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said most government services, such as bus routes and trains, planned to operate as normal over the weekend. Canal levels in South Florida have been lowered to minimize flooding from heavy rains.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially began Tuesday. This is an unusually early start to the storm season but not unprecedented for Florida.
The National Hurricane Center predicts that rainfall up to 10 inches is possible in South Florida, including the Florida Keys. The storm is not expected to produce huge winds or major storm surge. But local flooding is likely.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida health officials have asked the state medical board to draft new policies that would likely restrict gender dysphoria treatments for transgender youth as the state amps up its ongoing attacks on the treatments amid the country’s culture wars.
The officials are also arguing that such treatments should not be covered by Medicaid. In a lengthy report dated Thursday, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration said puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and sex reassignment surgery have not been proven safe or effective in treating gender dysphoria. Tom Wallace, the state’s deputy director of Medicaid, signed off on the report.
In response, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo wrote a letter to the state Board of Medicine asking it to review the findings and establish new standards for children seeking “these complex and irreversible procedures.”
“Florida must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine,” Ladapo wrote. “Otherwise, children and adolescents in our state will continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm.”
Transgender medical treatment for children and teens is increasingly under attack in many states where it has been labeled a form of child abuse or subject to various bans.
Many doctors and mental health specialists argue that medical treatment for transgender children is safe and beneficial and can improve their well-being, although rigorous long-term research on benefits and risks is lacking. Federal guidelines say gender-affirming care is crucial to the health and well-being of transgender and nonbinary children.
Last year, the American Medical Association issued a letter urging governors to block any legislation prohibiting the treatment, calling such action “a dangerous intrusion into the practice of medicine.” The letter noted that medical treatments are among several “supportive interventions” promoted for transgender minors.
This is not the first time Florida officials have opposed such treatments. Similar steps have already been taken by the administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has embraced clashes in the country’s culture war as he runs for reelection and eyes a run for president in 2024.
Last month, the administration issued guidance that pushed back against the federal guidelines by opposing “social gender transition” or gender reassignment surgery for children and adolescents, and puberty blockers for anyone under 18.
Last year, DeSantis signed a law barring transgender girls and women from playing on public school teams intended for student athletes identified as girls at birth.
The actions have drawn condemnation from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, an international group of doctors and others involved in treating transgender people.
“Florida’s assault on transgender communities has been relentless,” Dr. Walter Bouman, the group’s president, said in a statement Friday. He noted that the association’s U.S. affiliate previously attacked Florida’s ongoing efforts, saying they “lack scientific merit, and in some cases misinterpret or distort available data.’’
“Florida’s health agencies have an obligation to support the health and well-being of its residents, including those who are transgender,’’ Bouman said. “The state has instead chosen to issue misleading and dangerous reports designed to harm transgender people.” | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/ap-us-news/transgender-youth-treatment-under-fire-in-florida-again/ | 2022-06-04T14:28:24Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/ap-us-news/transgender-youth-treatment-under-fire-in-florida-again/ | true | 32 |

GREENLAND, N.H.—New Hampshire is shaping up as a test of the potency of abortion as a political issue in a battleground state in the midterm elections.
A leaked Supreme Court draft decision last month showed the high court may be preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 precedent that established a constitutional right to an abortion. A decision is expected in the next few weeks.

Platinum Jubilee: Princess Eugenie reveals new tattoo at service of thanksgiving
Princess debuted new inking behind her ear
Princess Eugenie has revealed that she has a new tattoo.
The inking came to light in photographs taken at the service of thanksgiving held on Friday at St Paul’s Cathedral as part of the platinum jubilee celebrations.
Eugenie, 32, was photographed in a bright orange dress with short sleeves at the event and in one close-up photo, a small black circle could be seen behind her ear.
Eugenie is not the first member of the royal family to get a tattoo.
Lady Amelia Windsor, who is the granddaughter of the Duke of Kent, the Queen’s cousin, has previously been photographed revealing a heart-shaped tattoo on her rib cage and a tiger on her shoulder blade.
Meanwhile, back in 1862, Albert, the Prince of Wales, had a Jerusalem Cross tattooed on his arm on a visit to Isreal.
Two decades later, his son, King George V, had a tattoo of a dragon and a tiger inked on each of his arms on a trip to Japan.
At the service, Eugenie attended with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
On Friday, the Princess shared a touching tribute to her grandmother, the Queen, in honour of her 70th year on the throne.
On Instagram, she posted a photo of her family waving at the Queen’s platinum jubilee flyover.
Eugenie was pictured standing with Brooksbank, 36, who is holding their one-year-old son August.
The trio were standing on a London rooftop waving to the aircraft, at what appeared to be a jubilee celebration party.
The images posted to Instagram, which include a video of the Red Arrows flying over as cheering can be heard in the background, is captioned: “The most perfect day to celebrate 70 years.”

Advocates for stricter gun laws gathered outside of Senator Marco Rubio’s office in Miami on Friday.
David Hogg was among the dozens who stood in the rain calling for the senator to act on the recent mass shootings.
"We're asking for a meeting with Marco Rubio right now. We understand that we don't agree on everything. We understand that. Let’s find what we can agree on now, because that's what we did after Parkland in Florida," he told the crowd.
Hogg survived the Parkland school shooting in 2018. He and a group of classmates pushed Florida lawmakers to pass red flag laws, impose a three-day waiting period for purchasing a gun and banned bump stocks. They also raised the minimum age for purchasing assault rifles to 21.
"If we could do it in Florida with a Republican state legislature … a Democratic House, Senate and Congress should be able to do it as well," Hogg said.
A bipartisan group of Senators has discussed possible solutions to mass shootings after an 18-year-old killed 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
On the table is a red flag law similar to the one passed in Florida after the Parkland shooting.
"That law has been used nearly 6000 times in the state of Florida. And there's no reason we can't make that a national law and raise the age to 21 and do the other things to address gun violence," Hogg said.
Senator Marco Rubio introduced a bill that incentivizes states to implement similar red flag laws in 2021. The bill stops short of requiring the law.
The Senate has taken no action on that bill since it was introduced.
A spokeswoman for Rubio did not respond to questions about the bill.

BUFFALO — Michael Rea focused the lens of his microscope, scanning each section of a small dish, sifting through specks and smudges, looking for something. Behind him, Brent and Stephanie Painter monitored his progress on a small, black tablet. The garage was quiet, other than the sound of the wind.
Rea shifted in his seat.
“It’s not looking good,” he said to the Painters.
They were looking for embryos, and it wasn’t going well.
The Painters had hired Rea to extract as many embryos as he could from a promising young heifer. If all went according to plan, they would transfer the embryos to commercial cattle able to bring the embryos to term, increasing the number of genetically superior cattle the Painters could raise in a year — and their profits. An expensive and time-consuming process, it would be well worth the cost if it worked.
It wasn’t working.
Trixie, the heifer, had produced just a handful of immature egg cells, none of which were usable. Rea wasn’t shocked. He said that heifers who hadn’t borne a calf before, like Trixie, weren’t great candidates for embryo transfer. Still, he collects an average of seven decent embryos from each cow he works with, he said. To find none was unusual. And frustrating.
If Rea couldn’t find an embryo, that was time and money down the drain for the Painters, who operate Painted Cattle in Johnson County, a show-cattle-producing company. They had another option, though, a second cow that might be able to make up for Trixie’s shortcomings.
“Hopefully, this cow will bring us up to average,” Rea said, putting away the equipment he’d used on Trixie. “Or she could take us over average hopefully.”
Embryo transfer isn’t new. The first successful transfer occurred in 1890, when scientists transferred embryos between rabbits, according to a history of bovine embryo transfer published by the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Since then, the practice has expanded to all sorts of animals: rats, mice, sheep, pigs, goats, horses. The goal, always, is to improve the genetic stock of the herd.
The first successful bovine embryo transfer occurred in the 1950s, but it required extensive surgery. In the 1980s, scientists developed a way to extract and transfer the embryos without surgery, a much safer method.
But it’s still not cheap. It takes a month of work to prepare and, even on the small scale the Painters attempted, well over $1,000, they said. As of 2017, just 3% of American cattle operations conducted embryo transfer, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The payoff can be significant, though. Over a short period of time, the genetic quality of a herd can be drastically improved. So can the profits.
“I mean, the sky’s the limit, really,” Brent Painter said. “Start them at $1,500 and they could sell for $10,000.”
Last year, Brent Painter traveled to Mississippi to learn how to conduct embryo transfer as part of his mission to produce the best possible show calf. That mission, begun when he started Painted Cattle in 2018, is also a passion. He could spend his whole day in the barn, watching the cattle and scrolling through the latest research on his phone, he said. Sometimes he does.
“I want to be the show calf producer for Johnson County,” Painter said. “I want to compete with the guys in Iowa that have been doing it for 30 years now.”
Embryo transfer could help him achieve that goal.
Due to the equipment required, Painter hired Rea to “flush” the two cattle he’d selected as embryo transfer candidates, extracting their embryos.
Before flushing, the cows undergo a month of hormone treatment — sometimes as many as two shots a day — to stimulate “superovulation” and produce multiple eggs at one time. Both the embryo-producing cattle and the embryo-receiving cattle must also be synchronized, so that they are in the same stage of their estrous cycle.
Once they’re ready, the cows are artificially inseminated and, seven days later, ready to be flushed. The embryos collected during flushing can either be transferred immediately to recipient cows or be frozen.
The Painters’ intention was to transfer the freshly flushed embryos to six recipient cows they had prepared. But that plan hinged on finding embryos in the first place.
Rea pulled on rubber work boots and a navy blue jumpsuit with the sleeves torn off. The Painters’ second cow and second chance was Roxy, a big black cow who’d already borne a calf. Rea began by administering an anesthetic to the base of Roxy’s tail and applying a disinfectant to her hindquarters. With a red plastic glove pulled up to his shoulder blade, Rea inserted a catheter through Roxy’s cervix and into her uterus.
To the catheter, Rea attached two plastic tubes. One led to an IV bag with a mixture of saline, antibacterials and surfactants (surfactants reduce surface tension). The other emptied into a plastic pail.
Now began the slow process of flooding and flushing the uterus. With his left arm inserted into Roxy’s rectum, Rea massaged the uterus, waiting until it was filled with the IV solution. Then, with his right hand, he switched the direction of the solution and let it flow back out, down the second tube, where it trickled into the plastic pail and passed through a filter that caught any potential embryos. A cow’s embryo is about 130 microns large — twice the size of a human hair.
The process of filling the uterus and flushing it, over and over again, takes 20 to 30 minutes. Rea kept his head down, feet crossed. As he worked, the Painters watched. For the most part, the barn was silent. Rea spoke only occasionally, murmuring to Roxy, who lashed out with her back legs whenever she sensed he was close.
Based in Billings, Montana, Rea travels across Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and even into Nebraska and North and South Dakota to conduct flushings and transfers. It keeps him busy for most of the year, doing as many as 20 flushings a week, he said. His new pickup — purchased just three days before — already had 2,500 miles on it when he arrived at the Painter barn.
Bovine embryo transfer runs in Rea’s family. Rea learned how to transfer embryos from his father and spent several years in Russia. There, he helped transfer as many as 2,000 embryos in just five weeks, he said.
What embryo transfer requires, Rea said, isn’t so much training as it is experience. That can be hard to come by initially, since owners want the best care for their cattle.
“It’s an investment for them, and their genetics are important. They don’t want you practicing. They want you to be good,” Rea said. “So, luckily, I got practice there (in Russia). I’m confident. I mean, I haven’t gone broke.”
Rea’s experience was telling him something was wrong. As he waited to finish flushing Roxy, he’d detected an anomaly in her uterus’ right horn. A year ago, Roxy had undergone a cesarean section during a difficult birth. The C-section had gone well, but apparently during the healing process, the right side of her uterus had fused to the wall of her stomach, a condition that Rea could feel.
“That doesn’t feel good,” Rea told the Painters as he stripped off his glove.
Roxy’s left horn was fine, and it was possible that, during pregnancy, the right horn could tear away from the stomach wall, Rea said. But it drastically decreased the chance that she would produce usable embryos.
But there was still a chance.
Rea took the filter back to his workstation in the garage. There, he began the search once more, side to side, grid by grid. As he searched, the wind roared.
“Jesus,” Brent Painter muttered, eyes on the tablet screen and hands in his pocket. Stephanie Painter stood next to him, her arms crossed. They were silent.
After a few minutes, Rea extracted a little fluid from the dish and deposited it into a second, smaller petri dish. There, he searched briefly and focused the microscope on six small circles.
Rea leaned back in his chair.
All of them were eggs. None of them were fertilized.
Rea shook his head and sighed. The Painters didn’t say much.
“I’m bummed,” Brent Painter said.
“You got too excited,” Stephanie Painter said.
Just days ago, Rea had flushed 20 beautiful embryos from a cow, he said. The next cow he flushed delivered 12. The next, seven. He was doing well, he said, well above average. Today, that changed. It always does.
“You always get back to average eventually,” Rea said.
Rea cleaned up his workstation and packed his equipment back into his pickup.
The Painters still had cows ready to receive fertilized embryos, and they had bought frozen embryos from other cows, so they might as well do it, they said. Rea transferred the embryos in the ripping wind, strands of saliva arcing from the cow’s mouths.
When he finished, Rea shook hands with the Painters.
“I wish that would have gone better,” Rea said, “but you’re due for good luck now.”
Brent Painter nodded. “We got the bad luck out of the way, right?”
It won’t be the end of embryo transfer for the Painters, Brent Painter said. They have different cows that they can try next year. But it was a disappointment.
“You put all that work into it to get nothing,” Brent Painter said. He stood watching a herd of cattle grazing in the distance. They’ll try some older cows next time, he said. They have a lot to choose from. They’ll try again.
“Next year,” he said. | https://www.thesheridanpress.com/news/regional-news/improving-genetics-embryo-transfers-allow-more-selective-cattle-breeding/article_757694d4-e35b-11ec-a3a0-ef2e2e65f0da.html | 2022-06-04T14:42:04Z | https://www.thesheridanpress.com/news/regional-news/improving-genetics-embryo-transfers-allow-more-selective-cattle-breeding/article_757694d4-e35b-11ec-a3a0-ef2e2e65f0da.html | false | 6 |

On the surface, the concept of ‘automotive wellness’ feels like a convoluted mash-up, mixing contemporary trends with conventional car interiors. No modern carmaker would disparage the importance of a well-honed interior, and today’s cars include layer upon layer of functionality, amenity, and luxury, whether they’re super-minis or super-cars. Bentley believes it can go one step further.
The company’s new Azure range prioritises ‘wellbeing behind the wheel,’ making an explicit connection between interior design and technology and the way you feel after a long journey.
Ultimately, there’ll be Azure variants available across every Bentley model line, just as you can buy ‘Speed’ versions that are more attuned to performance and dynamics, or a ‘Mulliner’ specification car to accommodate off-the-book trim and colour requirements.
Bentley claims to have enlisted a bunch of wellbeing experts and neuroscientists to validate the idea that being cosseted by hand-crafted luxury somehow makes you feel better about yourself (as if this were something that required scientific clarification).
Crucially, Azure models are said to incorporate important ‘tactile and visual cues’, as well as Bentley’s well-established focus on very, very high-quality materials and surfaces.
One way of looking at it is a stealthy way of promoting the use of increasingly advanced driver assistance technologies, whose existence threatens one of the core strands of Bentley’s DNA, the pleasure of actually driving oneself.
We’re still some years away from that scenario, but if you take driving out of the equation, all you’re left with a big, very comfortable and extremely lavish interior. This is best illustrated by the debut Azure model, the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, a beast of a machine that manages to cram in more facilities than a Swiss spa into just 180mm of extra length.
For a start, the Bentayga EWB offers what Bentley is calling ‘Airline Seat Specification’ chairs, First Class travel that will recline to near horizontal, as well as give your back a pummeling massage. The seats also incorporate Bentley’s new ‘advanced postural adjustment system’, a fancy way of saying the seat is able to constantly change its shape in subtle ways to keep you from getting cramps. Airlines please note.
Up front are Bentley’s 22-way adjustable seats, designed to prevent slumping (which saps valuable oxygen, don’t you know). The Azure spec cars will also benefit from the latest active suspension, Bentley Active Ride.
The cars’ 48V electrical system accommodates electronically governed anti-roll bars, which can be adjusted instantaneously to make the ride buttery smooth.
Driver assistance is taken care of through the Touring Specification driver assistance system, a package that takes the data from the plethora of cameras and sensors around the cars and stitches it together to give a comprehensive overview of any imminent danger.
This is where Bentley’s shared parentage with the wider VW Group really bears fruit; this kind of tech needs immense investment to remain at the cutting edge. VW spent 15.6 billion euros on R&D in 2021; Bentley sits pretty close to the top of the tree and gets early dibs on the best of this tech, anything from night-vision systems to the ability to eliminate unwanted noise or vibration.
One area where the company is happy to lag slightly behind is electrification. The first Bentley EV isn’t due to appear until 2025, although a rumoured concept vehicle could be seen as early as this summer to hint at what to expect.
EVs pose their own set of problems, not least the need to balance the colossal heft of luxury accoutrements with a battery sufficient to lug it all along at a decent clip. And just as car engineers have all but eliminated unwanted noise from an internal combustion engine, the whispered hush of electrification throws up new sounds from other parts of the car – wind, tyres, suspension, etc.
There are psychological issues here as well: make a car too quiet and detached from the physical forces your eyes comprehend, and you risk making drivers – and passengers – start to feel slightly sick, as their sense of balance can’t correlate the two.
For now, Bentley Azures marry old school drivetrains to new age ambitions. An Azure is a place of tactile joy, full of surfaces designed to be touched and appreciated.
‘When we see pleasing forms, shapes and colours our brains release chemicals such as dopamine that not only make us feel good but are good for our body and sense of wellbeing,’ says Maria Mulder, Head of Colour & Trim at Bentley Motors, ‘Every fabric, sound, motion, colour and touch continuously impacts our nervous system, and the Azure cabin has been finessed accordingly.’
If you’re in the market for a fully bespoke automobile, you probably already have a small army of well-being providers poised for immediate deployment. The Azure series will be another service to add to their retinue. | https://www.t3.com/news/bentley-azure | 2022-06-04T14:51:26Z | https://www.t3.com/news/bentley-azure | false | 4 |
Swiatek beats Gauff 6-1, 6-3 for 2nd French Open title
PARIS (AP) — Iga Swiatek is unbeaten since February and sure looks unbeatable at the moment, now a two-time champion at the French Open.
Coco Gauff, appearing in her first Grand Slam final at just 18, never stood much of a chance, like most opponents against Swiatek lately.
The top-ranked Swiatek beat Gauff 6-1, 6-3 in the final at Roland Garros on Saturday, adding to her 2020 trophy there and stretching her winning streak to 35 matches.
Swiatek’s unbeaten run equals one by Venus Williams in 2000 as the longest this century.
Swiatek has now won her past six tournaments and is 42-3 this season.
She has emerged as a dominant figure in tennis, with 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams out of action for nearly a year and three-time major champ Ash Barty announcing in March she would retire at age 25 and relinquish the No. 1 ranking.
That allowed Swiatek to move up to the top of the WTA, and she’s shown she is a deserving resident there. Her last loss came in February to 2017 Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko.
Swiatek has a game that works on all surfaces, but her greatest triumphs so far have come on red clay.
On the warmest day of the tournament, the temperature was 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and while the forecast predicted thunderstorms, there were just a few puffs of white in the blue sky above Court Philippe Chartrier at the outset.
Gauff did not get off to the best of starts, a little bit of early jitters that would be understandable coming from any player in a debut on this stage.
The player on the other side of the net certainly had a lot to do with the way things went.
Swiatek broke serve right from the get-go, with plenty of help from Gauff, who put a forehand into the net, double-faulted — eliciting some sighs of “Awwwww” from a supportive crowd — dumped a forehand into the net, and pushed another forehand long.
When Gauff’s work-in-progress forehand betrayed her again, she got broken again to trail 3-0 after just 15 minutes of action. Soon enough, the score was 4-0 in Swiatek’s favor.
Not in all cases, of course, but often, the spectators at Roland Garros tend to offer their support to underdogs and to whichever player is trailing in a particular match. Both of which applied to Gauff. So there was a surfeit of shouts of “Allez, Coco!” There were repeated cries of her chant-ready, two-syllable first name. And one fan yelled out “Coco, you can do it!”
When Gauff got on the board by holding to 4-1, the applause and roar were suitable for the capture of a set, not simply one game.
As things appeared to be getting away from her, Gauff slapped her thigh or covered her eyes, shook her head or looked up toward her parents in the stands.
What she never did was waver or concede anything.
Gauff began the second set by breaking Swiatek for the only time, and then holding to go up 2-0. Might this now be a much closer contest? Might Gauff push Swiatek to a third set?
No. Swiatek quickly recalibrated and reasserted herself, breaking back for 2-all as Gauff’s propensity for miscues returned.
Swiatek is not just winning, but winning easily, already amassing 16 sets taken by a 6-0 score in 2022 — and it’s only early June.
The only Polish player to win a Grand Slam singles trophy, Swiatek does it with a mix of a topspin-laden heavy forehand — just like someone she admires greatly, 13-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal, who will face Casper Ruud in the men’s final Sunday — and an all-court game, filled with variety and an appreciation of setting up moves ahead of time during a point. Much like a chess player, which she is.
Swiatek’s got other attributes, too, such as strong footwork that allows her to play defense when required.
Also key to Swiatek’s presence, and swiftly burgeoning aura, is her calmness on court. She has traveled on tour with a sports psychologist, who was in Swiatek’s guest box on Saturday, and works on various elements of her professional and personal lives.
That includes an emphasis on maintaining focus and setting priorities, such as the determination that she is still too new at this whole business of attempting to win Grand Slam titles that she decided it was best not to attend the Champions League soccer final in Paris last weekend, something Nadal did do.

A spate of bad retailer earnings reports caused shares across the sector to crash in the middle of last month. Costco (NASDAQ:COST) was no exception. Between May 16 and May 20, COST stock fell from nearly $500 per share, to just above $400 per share.
But since then, and especially since its own earnings report on May 26, shares in the discount club retailer have started to make a recovery. Making back a good chunk of its recent losses, the stock is again trending higher.
However, despite this sharp bounce back, don’t think it’s too late to buy, if you were looking to add to/enter a long-term position. As it’s clear the story has not changed here, shares stand to continue making a gradual recovery. While it may be a while before it makes its next sharp move higher, you may want to take a look.
COST Stock and Recent Earnings
Right before its May 26 earnings release, it may have made sense for the market to be hesitant about Costco’s numbers. After all, two of the company’s key discount retail peers were dinged by earnings misses, caused by the impact of inflation on labor, shipping and other major costs.
But that’s not the story here with Costco as the numbers for its most recently ended fiscal quarter demonstrate. As expected, net sales came in strongly. At $51.6 billion for the quarter, the top line was up 16.3% year-over-year. Earnings per share (EPS) of $3.04 were up by a smaller amount (10.6%).
Even so, COST stock still rallied. It avoided an earnings disappointment like its rivals. Riding out inflationary pressures, earnings came in ahead of the sell-side’s forecast. If you’ve been following the company, its results should come as no surprise.
While lumped into the same category as general discount retailers, there are some key differences with Costco. These differences are what enable it to both continue to see strong traffic in its stores (as seen in its revenue figures), as well as pass along rising costs to the consumer (as seen in its earnings beat).
The Story Hasn’t Changed
In past coverage of COST stock, my main argument has been that this retailer has long demonstrated an uncanny ability to thrive, no matter overall economic conditions. That’s what gives this discount club operator an advantage over traditional discount retailers.
For instance, Costco has historically delivered solid performance during recessionary periods. This is due to both the consistency of its membership revenue, plus the value proposition it provides during lean times.
This edge also holds true when it comes to an inflationary period, like the one we’re in right now. Inflation may be at levels not seen since the 1980s, but as seen in the above-mentioned earnings results, it’s continuing to “thrive amidst the belt tightening,” which was also seen in the previous earnings release back in February.
With this, it’s reasonable to expect that it will continue to deliver solid results in the quarters ahead. Whether or not high inflation persists, or if a much-feared U.S. recession actually happens. This could pave the way for shares to fully bounce back from recent losses, and steadily head back to even higher prices. Put simply, investors are starting to realize that the story hasn’t changed.
Bottom Line on COST Stock
Currently, Costco stock earns a “B” rating in my Portfolio Grader. Although the market is quickly realizing that it priced too much of other retailer’s troubles into Costco shares, that doesn’t mean you’ve “missed out” on this opportunity.
Far from a fast money sort of play, this is best approached as a long-term, “buy and hold” type investment. Still down for the year, and well below its all-time high, if you already own it, there’s still plenty of time to add to your position. If you haven’t entered a position yet, then now may be a great time to start accumulating shares.
It may not be in the running to make another incredible run-up like it did in 2021. Returns from here may arrive at a more modest pace. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a fundamentally strong stock, COST stock remains a great choice.
