YICHANG, China, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Qu Yuan belongs not only to Yichang City, but also the world and all mankind," Wang Li, vice governor of central China's Hubei Province and top official of Yichang City, said emotionally as he addressed the opening ceremony of the 2022 Qu Yuan's Hometown Dragon Boat Culture Festival held on June 2 in Yichang.
Yichang is the hometown of Qu Yuan, a well-known poet and a minister of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), whose death was closely related with the origin of China's Dragon Boat Festival, a day traditionally marked with dragon boat races and eating Zongzi, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves.
After the opening ceremony, a grand original performance named "China in the songs of Chu Kingdom" was staged. Fifteen programs in various forms, including song and dance, drum performance, acrobatics and rap, presented a cultural audio-visual feast to audiences at home and abroad, according to the Publicity Department of Yichang Municipality.
On June 3, a total of 16 teams with over 400 participants from Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other provincial regions competed in a dragon boat race in Yichang's Zigui County with the backdrop of the Three Gorges Dam to celebrate the traditional Chinese festival.
Yichang's Dragon Boat Culture Festival activities seek to present the city's rich cultural deposits related with Qu Yuan. In addition to the opening ceremony, a dragon boat race, an investment match-making meeting, folk performances and other activities, the first Qu Yuan culture research international forum, the annual meeting of the Chinese Association of Qu Yuan, a global collection of works on Qu Yuan from young writers and other activities were also held.
As a national Dragon Boat Festival event, the Qu Yuan's hometown Dragon Boat Culture Festival has been held six times, with an average of 150,000 visits each year. In 2009, the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, with Qu Yuan's hometown Dragon Boat Culture Festival as its main content, was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival has become a thousand-year-old cultural event and a cultural symbol with global influence in Qu Yuan's hometown of Yichang.

They ask $ 1.76 million dollars for the penthouse where Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lived
Photo: John Phillips/Getty Images
Johnny Depp Y Amber Heard They are still part of the headlines and this time it is because it was announced that His old penthouse on Broadway in Los Angeles was put up for sale.
This information was released by the ‘New York Post’ a couple of days after the sentence of the trial between the couple for defamation was given. According to a source from that medium, it is a coincidence that the property entered the real estate market right at this time.
In this penthouse, located specifically in the Eastern Columbia Building, it was the home of both during their complicated marriage. In 2017 they sold the place for $1.47 million dollars and for several years it was rented for $5,500 dollars a month, now asking for $1.76 million dollars.
The full extent of this residence has not been released by the media, but it is known that it has one bedroom, two bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and other amenities even though each space is not very large.
The most striking thing about this property, apart from the fact that it belonged to Depp and Heard, is that it is located in a very striking art deco style building. In total, this building has 13 floors and, although it is not too tall, its façade has made it one of the most striking and representative in the area.
The Eastern Columbia Building was built in 1930 under the design of architect Claud Beelman. At the time of its design and construction, the idea was that this building would house the stores of renowned brands such as Eastern and Columbia.
Over the years the Eastern Columbia Building and in 2006 already had 147 apartments available for millionaires interested in living or investing there.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Dr. Thomas Dobbs has never gotten involved in political fights over reproductive health, but his name has become shorthand for a legal case that could end abortion rights in the United States. If he has feelings about the situation, he pretty much keeps those to himself.
Mississippi's top public health official is named in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a dispute over a state law that would ban most abortions after the 15th week but that could be used to overturn Roe v. Wade.
A leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion shows a conservative majority of justices are ready to use the case to topple the court's landmark 1973 ruling that established abortion rights nationwide.
Dobbs, 52, is a physician in charge of the state health department, which regulates Mississippi’s only abortion clinic. As the state's chief health officer, he is the person who must be named in any lawsuit related to abortion or other health issues, he explained recently in a post on Twitter.
So, while the name at the center of the abortion debate could eventually change from “Roe” to “Dobbs,” it is not the health officer but the state attorney general's office that is handling the state's case.
“I had no direct involvement in any component of this legal action,” he wrote in the post.
Liz Sharlot, communications director for the state health department, confirmed Dobbs' strictly nominal role and denied a request from The Associated Press to interview him because, she said, he “did not personally initiate this case.”
“The Mississippi State Department of Health’s only role regarding abortion facilities is the regulations to support the law, the inspection and the licensing of that facility,” Sharlot wrote in an email.
Dobbs is a former state epidemiologist who became head of the health department in 2018, months after Mississippi's Republican-controlled Legislature passed the abortion-restriction law that's now at the center of the court case.
He has spent his public health career focused not on abortion, but on pushing for better outcomes in a state plagued by high rates of infant mortality and other poor health statistics.
The legal fight over abortion started when Mississippi’s only abortion clinic sued over the 15-week ban. The suit was originally called Jackson Women’s Health Organization v. Currier et al. The main defendant was the state health officer at the time, Dr. Mary Currier. After she left, a judge removed Currier's name from the case and replaced it with Dobbs.
A federal district judge blocked the law from taking effect. When the state appealed to the Supreme Court, the name of the case was flipped, to Dobbs versus the clinic.
During an online briefing hosted by the Mississippi State Medical Association in June 2021, Dobbs was asked about his name being on the abortion case. He quickly noted that Dr. Kenneth Cleveland also was named in the lawsuit in his capacity as head of the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure.
“He didn't make the headline,” the medical association president at the time, Dr. Mark Horne, said in a good-natured jab at Dobbs.
“I'm trying to get him to swap with me,” Dobbs quipped.
Until now, the name most associated with the abortion debate has been Jane Roe, a pseudonym for a Dallas woman named Norma McCorvey, who was the plaintiff in the famous Roe v. Wade case. Wade was Henry Wade, the Dallas County district attorney at the time.
In 1969, the 22-year-old McCorvey became pregnant for the third time and wanted to have an abortion. McCorvey and her attorneys ultimately won the legal battle, but not until she gave birth and gave the girl up for adoption. She later became an anti-abortion activist. McCorvey was 69 when she died in 2017.
Another name that often arises in the debate is that of is Robert P. Casey, a former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania who was an anti-abortion advocate. In 1989, he worked with the state’s legislature to enact a law that placed several limitations on abortion. Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania challenged the law. In 1992, the Supreme Court upheld most of the restrictions, but also affirmed a woman’s right to an abortion. Casey died in 2000. The name of the case was Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
While Dobbs has not been involved in the abortion debates, he has spent the past two years engulfed in a different contentious health issue: the COVID-19 pandemic. At dozens of news conferences and other public appearances, he has implored people to get vaccinated, wear masks and maintain social distancing. He persisted even as many people, including some public officials, resisted.
In August, Dobbs said he had received threats from people who believed false conspiracy theories about him and his family as he promoted vaccination against COVID-19. Dobbs said one lie is that his son, who is also a physician, receives a World Bank-funded kickback when Dobbs urges people to get vaccinated.
“I get zero $ from promoting vaccination,” Dobbs wrote on Twitter.
Before COVID-19 vaccinations were available, the usually even-tempered Dobbs expressed frustration at people’s insistence on attending social events and extracurricular school activities, including sports competitions.
“Our hierarchy of prioritization is extremely stupid,” Dobbs said in November 2020. “’We’re prioritizing youth sports, not only over academics. We’re actually prioritizing it over community health, just to be honest.”
While in the thick of the stressful pandemic fight, Dobbs said he turned to exercise and listening to music — jazz and The Rolling Stones — as ways to disconnect from work. He announced in March that he will retire at the end of July.
Dr. Georges Benjamin is executive director of the American Public Health Association, one of several public health and research groups that have filed a legal brief critical of Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban.
Benjamin said he does not know Dobbs’ personal opinion about abortion and the legal issues involved in the case, and expressed doubt that Dobbs would state them publicly.
“Your name may get associated with a legal case when you’re in these jobs," Benjamin said. "But your name being associated may not align with your own views. You are the public official, and unfortunately that’s what happens when you take these jobs.”
Benjamin said Dobbs has done an “incredible” job as Mississippi’s health officer during the pandemic, including remarkable work addressing issues of inequity. He called him a “trusted figure who follows scientific principles.”
Benjamin's hope, he said, is that Dobbs’ reputation “does not get tarnished” by having his name on the abortion case.

A Pentagon task force investigating possible religious intolerance at the U.S. Air Force Academy reports shortcomings, but no intentional discrimination based on religion. Cadets have complained of pressure to attend chapel and join prayer groups.
The Air Force Academy is located in Colorado Springs, Colo., where Evangelical Christians have a strong following. Over the past several years, cadets who don't subscribe to that faith, including Jews and atheists, have complained they were pressured to attend chapel, join prayer groups and subjected to religious slurs.

The official re-opening of parts of New Orleans begins Saturday. But residents are already beginning to trickle back in. And that's creating challenges for the police and security forces.
The authorities have pledged to keep a tight security cordon around the neighborhoods that are off limits. But that's turning out to be easier said than done.
While the streets of downtown New Orleans are relatively safe, it has already become a tough challenge to make sure uninhabited portions of the city remain secure.

For the first time in program history the Notre Dame baseball team is headed to their second-straight Super Regional appearance. This comes after the Irish beat Texas Tech for a second time in three days and won the Statesboro region with a 3-0 record.
Next up for the Irish is now a date with the runaway favorites to win the entire College World Series this year, Tennessee.
Just how good are the Vols?
They’ve gone an absurd 56-7 on the year after putting up a 25-5 mark in SEC play. They haven’t lost since May 14 and have nine players who have hit 10 or more home runs this year. Their pitching isn’t half bad either as their three main starters combined to go 25-2 with all having an ERA below 2.70 this year.
Notre Dame’s football program ended Oklahoma’s 47-game winning streak way back in 1957.
Digger Phelps led the Irish to an upset of UCLA in 1974 that ended the Bruins 89-game winning streak.
An 11 game winning streak isn’t quite as impressive as those two but there is no doubt that nobody outside of South Bend will be picking the Irish in the best-of-three series to decide a berth in the College World Series.
If you need me I’ll be watching the speech from “Miracle” for the majority of the week.
“What tho the odds be great or small,
ole Notre Dame will win overall”

‘Your brain is playing tricks on you,’ says neuroscientist and psychologist Albert Moukheiber.
In this week’s episode of our mental health podcast, Mentally Yours, Albert tells us how our brain ‘recreates reality’ in strange ways – all as an attempt to make sense of a strange and confusing world.
This, he says, can result in biases, anxiety, and unhelpful thinking patterns, all of which don’t do great things for our mental health.
The good news: simply being aware of how our brain works – and knowing that our thoughts and feelings aren’t as straightforward and correct as we might assume – can make a positive difference.
And even better news: We can use this knowledge of our brain’s strange tricks to our advantage.
‘This is the subject of my book, Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You,’ Albert shares with Yvette and Ellen on this week’s episode. ‘It’s an introduction to how our brain recreates reality, because, for example, our listeners are hearing us not through their ears, but their brains, and readers aren’t reading us through their eyes, but their brains as well.
‘Our senses are just receptors to information from the inside or outside, which trigger an electrical signal created by the brain.
‘During these mechanisms of perception, there are a few things that can happen, that can sometimes trick us in a good way, and sometimes trick us in a bad way.’
One ‘bad’ trick our brain plays on us is the way feelings of stress and anxiety shape the way we perceive the world.
‘Our brain is always recreating reality,’ Albert notes. ‘But the way we recreate reality can be different depending on for example, our state of our body.
‘For example, when we’re stressed, our brain is goes into a pattern that we call hypervigilance and catastrophisation – our brain thinks there’s a danger, everything is equally as important, and we’re not able to weigh things up correctly.
‘For example, if I’m stressed because of a presentation I have to give at work, I might spend 10 minutes changing the size of the font of a word from 10 to 11 to 12. And then back to 11. I become extremely bogged down by details. This is the first thing that’s going to change in the way we’re going to recreate and interpret the world.
‘The second part is catastrophistion. Our brain is a predictive organ, constantly trying to predict what’s going to happen so that we can prepare ourselves.
‘When we’re stressed, we’re going to predict that the future is going to be not so great. We imagine that we are going to fail, that the presentation is not going to go well, that my boss is not gonna be satisfied with my work, or that the date I’m going on, I’m going to be rejected, or that my friends are talking behind my back, etc.
‘All of these predictions are being shaped by stress.’
Starting to doubt those automatic thoughts and question their relevance to reality can be a game-changer. We start to realise that perhaps our anxious or depressed view of things isn’t true – that we can be hopeful, and positive, and that things might just work out.
Albert explains more tricks our brains play on us – and offers some advice for handling this – in this week’s episode, which you can listen to on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Audioboom.

National news organizations flooded the small mining community of Sago, W. Va., to cover the trapped miners. But mistaken information from seemingly authoritative sources allowed good news to outrace the truth.
It started at about 11:50 p.m. on Tuesday night. CNN's Anderson Cooper had a rare positive story to tell.
"That is incredible news," Cooper told viewers. "Again, if this turns out to be true... we have not been able to independently confirm this... but the family members have been told... that the 12 miners are alive."
Just 15 minutes later, Cooper dropped the attributions and reported it as fact.
"There is elation at this moment," Cooper said. "The news just coming a short time ago that the 12 miners are alive."
Similarly, NPR reported it this way at 2 a.m. on Wednesday:
Shay Stevens: "Dan Heyman of West Virginia Public Broadcasting says the news came as mining officials and the state's governor cautioned against high hopes."
Heyman: "I spoke to a number of family members who were just pretty much ecstatic."
Newspapers put to bed late Tuesday night carried jubilant headlines across the nation.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution trumpeted "Miracle in Mine" while The Hartford Courant read: "They're Alive." USA Today put it this way: "'Alive' Miners Beat Odds."
But they hadn't. Officials of the International Coal Group said later Wednesday they knew miners had died a bit past 1:30 a.m., but it's not clear how quickly that was relayed to the families.
Greg Peppers, executive producer of NPR's hourly newscasts, says NPR relied upon confirmation from the Associated Press and Reuters, then got Heyman's report from the scene. The story was corrected by 3 a.m.
The wire services attributed the rescue to West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, among other sources. But here's how Manchin told NBC News he learned of the rescue.
"I heard it from the families when I came into the main church park," Manchin said. "And I said 'What had happened?' And they said they were found. I said 'Oh, my goodness.'"
But Manchin added: "We had no confirmation."
Manchin said when he went to the command center early Wednesday morning, officials there were euphoric. At 12:18 a.m., according to the company, a radio report from teams inside the mine indicated rescuers and the miners were preparing to emerge. It was that report that led to the false hopes.
At the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, an upbeat headline for an Associated Press article about the rescue initially dominated the front page Wednesday.
"We're always criticized for not reporting positive news," Editor and Publisher John Temple said. "This is 'Plane Crashes and Everybody Lives.' We consider that news."
But the change in the news later stopped the presses. Temple's paper discarded 10,000 copies, provided a grim headline and substituted a new story.
"We're not going to print a front page and important information that we know to be wrong," Temple said.
Temple says three-quarters of his readers got the correct version of the news. And he says the AP handled the story responsibly -- given the information it had. Other newspapers were also able to update the news between editions.
According to TVNewser.com, CNN was the first cable channel to correct the story... at about 2:45 a.m.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the Sierra Wireless First Quarter Earnings Call. I would like to turn the call over to David Climie, Vice President, Investor Relations.
David Climie
Thanks, and good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for joining today's conference call and webcast. On the call today are Kent Thexton, President and CEO; and Sam Cochrane, our CFO. As a reminder, today's presentation is being webcast and will be available on our website following the call.
Today's agenda is as follows: Kent will provide his corporate update, and Sam will provide a detailed review of our first quarter results, followed by Q&A. Before we get started, I'll reference the company's cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements. A summary of our cautionary note can be found on Page 2 of the webcast and is now being displayed. Today's presentation contains certain statements and information that are not based on historical facts and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws.
These statements include our strategy, goals, objectives, expectations and commentary regarding the outlook for our business. Our forward-looking statements are based on a number of material assumptions, including those listed on Page 2 of the webcast presentation, which could prove to be significantly incorrect.
Additionally, forward-looking statements are based on our management's current expectations, and we caution investors of forward-looking statements, particularly those that relate to longer periods of time are subject to substantial known and unknown material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. I draw your attention to our longer discussion of our risk factors in our AIF and MD&A, which can be found on SEDAR and EDGAR as well as our other regulatory filings. This presentation should also be viewed in conjunction with our quarterly earnings release.
With that, I'll now turn the call over to Kent for his corporate update.
Kent Thexton
Thanks, David. I expect this will be my last quarterly update before my planned retirement. I'm happy to report that the Sierra Wireless transformation continues to gain momentum, with strengthening demand being offset in the near-term by global supply chain environment. I will start my comments on our first quarter results and highlights.
Total revenue in Q1 was $108.1 million, up 4.9% year-over-year. As we announced on March 23, the ransomware incident shut down our production facilities for 1 week, and as such, we were slightly behind the consensus of $109.8 million. We also noted during our Q4 results report that our demand was running about 15% higher than our expected revenue due to global supply chain challenges. During the quarter, orders continued to materialize, increasing this figure to 20%.
In the first quarter, our connectivity, software and services revenue was $33.7 million, up 26.1% year-over-year. We are seeing this revenue grow as one: our existing customers increase their IoT deployments with us; 2, we have new customers starting to ramp their deployment based on design wins we secured over the last 2 to 3 years; and 3, some customer usage rates are recovering as economies open up as we get through what we hope what is hopefully the worst of the global pandemic.
Clearly, the need for both real-time monitoring of remote assets and improved processing at the IoT edge is growing in importance. In fact, IoT analytics research just reported that they expect the predictive maintenance marketplace will quadruple by 2026. In my conversations with CEOs of industrial and enterprise companies, it's clear that they urgently want to digitize their assets so they can gather data from their equipment and factories, control endpoints and run insightful data analytics.
Many of these customers are looking for a trusted supplier that can securely provide them with IoT devices, connectivity and edge-to-cloud tools for 2-way data orchestration. All of these trends in IoT are certainly playing right into Sierra's strengths.
In Q1, we are introducing a new metric to measure our performance and growth in our recurring revenue. MRR or monthly recurring revenue indicates the recurring revenue in the last month of each quarter and is defined as the monthly subscription revenue, including usage fees from current subscribers. In our earnings release, we have included historical data for MRR in a graph for the last 2 years.
You can see that our recurring revenue has grown nicely from $7.1 million in MRR in Q1 2019, up to $11.5 million in this past quarter, generating a CAGR of 27% over the 2-year period. Over the last 12 months, MRR from March 2020 to March 2021 increased by 30.7%. Going forward, we will be providing you with MRR updates each quarter and stepping back from providing quarterly LTARR design win information. It was certainly important to show LTARR when we were transforming and building the services business over the last 2 years as design wins take several years until starting to show in our revenue results. With the continued maturity of our connectivity, software and services business and our strongly growing recurring revenue, we are moving to report monthly recurring revenue as a more common and easily understood metric.
With regards to our hardware devices, we continued to see improving demand for our modules and gateways in the first quarter, and our backlog and pipeline continue to grow. We are facing a very tight supply chain environment, which we spoke during our last conference call and is being reported widely. Our operations team is working diligently to secure components so we can build and ship products for our customers, and we're using our balance sheet to make advanced purchases of component inventory.
Our teams are also working very closely with our contract manufacturers to ensure we have the necessary production capacity. We are talking to our major suppliers constantly to facilitate any extra supply possible, and we're working closely with our valued customers to get them as much product as possible. But we will continue to have demand run ahead of our ability to supply in Q2.
In the first quarter, we announced that we had a ransomware incident, which was discovered on March 20. We immediately engaged an external team of expert advisers to help identify, isolate and implement measures to mitigate this incident. Our factory production was halted, but has since been fully restored. We worked very quickly to minimize the impact of the incident, and we have been providing customers with updates and communications throughout the process.
While the investigation of the incident is ongoing, we believe at this time that the incident was limited to our internal systems and website only as we maintain a clear separation between our internal IT systems and our customer-facing products and services. We are aware that the threat actor that attacked our system was a [indiscernible] locker. Our IT team, with the help of external experts, have enhanced our security and monitoring tools with an added layer of protection to detect and identify malicious activity. We've also enhanced security at corporate endpoints for improved detection and 24/7 monitoring. I would like to thank all our staff and advisers for working tirelessly to return to business as usual.
Now back to discussing business growth. Our 5G programs and embedded modules are now certified with all major carriers in North America and leading carriers globally. We are shipping 5G products to customers globally on both sub-6 and millimeter wave OEM deployments. Our 5G modules are primarily going into networking devices, laptops, video applications such as security and broadcast video and the public safety markets. And our design wins continue to grow in 5G, as many of our OEM customers are seeing higher demand from their end customers for 5G products.
So we're off to a good start in 5G in the first half of 2021, and we expect activity to pick up in the second half of this year with growth really coming in 2022. In the first quarter, our global sales team continued to secure new IoT solutions wins. I'd like to share a few examples. The first win is with a leading U.S.-based industrial technology company. They needed to source the supplier for an IoT solution that enabled them to do remote monitoring of industrial products. They have been struggling with disparate pieces of hardware, multiple SIM providers and various management tools.
As a single provider, we have a bundled solution for them with first-class support, allowing them to digitize their assets quickly and scale globally. And we are now doing test with them using our Octave data orchestration to further improve their IoT solution. The hardware value of this first design with this new customer is expected to be $4.5 million, and the recurring service revenue in year 3 is expected to be approximately $1.5 million.
Another customer we signed up in Q1 is a EV charging station company that is expanding its U.S. charging infrastructure given the rapid growth in the electrical vehicle market. This customer wanted a long-term relationship with an IoT partner that had high-quality cellular gateways packaged with IoT connectivity services. Our LX16 gateways, together with our ready to connect SIM was the right fit for this customer.
The hardware value of this initial design win is expected to be $1 million, and recurring revenue in 3 years' time is expected to be approximately $300,000 per year. And this is just to start with this new EV customer.
And the last example I'll provide today is a services design win. We signed this customer in Europe, a leading provider of event ticketing, online registration and cashless payments. The customer has a number of point-of-sale devices being used throughout Europe and international locations that were struggling with various carriers, contracts and restrictions. The solution was having Sierra Wireless with a global SIM and strong commercial and technical support be a sole supplier on the services side.
The recurring revenue in 3 years' time is expected to be approximately $1 million. In Q1, we also announced the launch of Acculink Cargo, a new managed IoT asset tracking solution that companies can quickly and easily deploy to track the location and condition of high-value and sensitive assets. It leverages our expertise in IoT device hardware, cloud management and global connectivity, all in a unified solution that's based on a single monthly fee. We built this solution around 3 key needs for our customers, real-time visibility, product level tracking and exception-based monitoring, so they can constantly track their high-value sensitive assets at all times.
This managed cargo tracking solution enables manufacturers, freight carriers and third-party logistics partners to avoid shipping delays, reduce dwell time and prevent theft. In Q1, we also announced a new LPWA module that supports the 450 megahertz spectrum, so meet the specific requirements of our smart metering and utility customers in Europe. Some countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands and Austria are reserving 450 megahertz spectrum for LTE-M networks so they can provide connectivity for smart energy and smart grid solutions.
Our new embedded module has best-in-class power consumption and advanced firmware over-the-air capabilities. The battery life of smart meters can be extended to more than 10 years, reducing the number of utility truck rolls needed for battery replacements.
And lastly, I'm pleased that this week, we launched our new XR90 and XR80 multi network 5G routers. The XR series provides 5G high-speed connectivity for real-time video streaming in mission-critical environments and high-performance business-critical applications. The new routers delivered the full performance of 5G across any network, whether it's being used for mobile applications or primary, temporary or backup fixed wireless connectivity.
Both the XR80 and the XR90 allow customers to maximize 5G data speeds across WiFi 6 and multi-gigabit Ethernet interfaces using quad core processing and our internal OS architecture that accelerates the data path. So we're excited about taking this high-speed router series to market.
In summary, our business transformation to IoT solutions leader is proceeding strongly with growing design wins, strong growth in our higher-margin recurring revenue areas and a strong pipeline of demand and orders throughout 2021.
So with that, I will now pass it over to Sam for his review and comments on the first quarter.
Samuel Cochrane
Thank you, Kent. Good afternoon, everyone. Note that we report our financial results in U.S. dollars and on a U.S. GAAP basis. We also present non-GAAP results to provide a better understanding of our operating performance. A full reconciliation between our GAAP and non-GAAP results is available on our website.
Total revenue in the first quarter was $108.1 million, up 4.9% compared to Q1 2020. Connectivity, software and services revenue, which we had previously called recurring and other services revenue was $33.7 million in Q1, up $7 million or 26% year-over-year. Our total revenue in the first quarter was constrained by 2 main factors: continued constraints in the supply chain for semiconductors and other components. And the impact of the ransomware incident at the end of the quarter, which affected our ability to manufacture products.
Non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 35% compared to 34% in the prior quarter, reflecting increased higher-margin connectivity, software and services revenue. Our non-GAAP operating expenses in Q1 were $46.4 million, down $8.6 million or 15.6% year-over-year. This reflects our cost reduction initiatives that we've been undertaking over the last 2 quarters.
Our adjusted EBITDA was negative $4.4 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA of negative $16.2 million a year ago. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA reflects our growing high-margin connectivity, software and services offerings and the impact from our cost reduction initiatives. Revenue in the IoT Solutions segment was up $6.2 million or 9.1% year-over-year. This increase is primarily due to growth in our IoT connectivity business, which was partially offset by lower hardware revenue that was constrained by tightness in the supply chain and the ransomware incident at the end of the quarter.
Revenue in the Enterprise Solutions segment was down $1.1 million or negative 3.3% year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to tightness in components and manufacturing capacity that constrained our ability to build and ship all the gateways and routers we had on order and the ransomware incident at the end of the quarter. Looking at non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter compared to a year ago, total gross margin was $37.8 million or 35% in the first quarter compared to $34.9 million or 34% in Q1 2020.
The improvement was primarily due to our growing connectivity, software and services offering. Sequentially, gross margin declined by 1%, primarily due to increased costs associated with the continued tightness in the supply chain.
Moving to the balance sheet. We ended the first quarter 2021 with $112.2 million of cash. In our Q4 '20 earnings call on February 23, we stated that we expected to consume approximately $20 million in cash in Q1 2021 due to 3 factors that we had referenced during the call. One, the need to increase capacity and inventory to combat the current global shortage in components; 2, restructuring outflows as we improve our operating efficiency; and 3, some onetime working capital adjustments associated with the automotive sales.
At the end of Q1, our cash position was approximately $35 million below our original forecast due to 3 primary factors: one, approximately $12 million in additional working capital to build component supply to support increased demand for Q2 and the second half of the year. And during the quarter, we also paid many of our key component suppliers faster than previously expected to improve our allocations during the industry-wide supply tightness. Two, approximately $5 million of direct costs related to the ransomware incident; and 3, approximately $18 million of indirect impact related to the ransomware incident, with the majority of that being the temporary unwinding of our accounts receivable factoring program as we had no access to our systems at the end of the quarter, and were unable to factor our receivables.
In the second quarter, we continued to invest in working capital to combat the current supply constraints. However, we expect the second quarter ending cash balance to remain flat to Q1 2021 as we recover from the ransomware incident. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global business continues to remain uncertain. While we continue to evaluate the effects on our business, the overall severity and duration of adverse impacts related to COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, cash flows and operating results for 2021 and beyond cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Due to continued strong demand and the investment in working capital to combat the industry-wide tightness in supply, we expect our revenue in the second quarter of 2021 to be in the range of $118 million to $122 million. Demand remained strong in the second quarter of 2021, and we have secured hardware orders and recurring revenues that is approximately 20% above the midpoint of our Q2 2021 revenue guidance. However, we continue to face a tight global supply chain environment as to strain our ability to source all the necessary components and fully deliver to this level of demand.
With that, I will now turn the call over to questions. Operator, please open the lines.
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions]. Your first question comes from the line of Mike Walkley.
Thomas Walkley
Great. Lots of positive developments, but wanted to focus on the supply area, with a nice up sequential revenue growth in indications, demand $20 million above this, any idea if this demand goes away if you can't fill it? Do you see any double ordering going on from your customers given the tight supply? And then how is your ability maybe to meet that supply improving in the second half of the year?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Thanks, Mike. Good question. This is I think consuming the executive suites of almost every product manufactured globally right now. We're -- we've been working very closely with our customers overall. So on your first part of the question, will this demand go away? For the most part, no. Most of our customers are single-sourced with us. And we take our responsibility to get product to them very seriously. So I'm on frequent customer calls and I'm on frequent supplier calls to make sure that we are getting those parts there.
Secondly, in terms of over-ordering, we have strong visibility, and I can tell you from the dozens of customer calls, it's real customer need. It's not building buffers. It's not the COVID toilet paper shortage. These are real needs for customers. And what we've been doing is we've been pushing out our order lead time to all of our parts suppliers, and we've been requesting enhanced lead time from our customers. And we've been doing that.
We have orders into Q1 '22 in some parts of our business as we significantly work to expand our visibility so that we can order more parts earlier and ensure that we can supply to customers. So it's been a significant amount of work, continues to move along. Our suppliers have been tremendous. We have got a lot of support. We've been able to increase our allocations in many areas. I feel that we're doing well in this difficult environment, but it is going to remain tight for the foreseeable future.
Thomas Walkley
Great. I think it's great that you have the balance sheet to use to your advantage because certainly your competitors certainly might not have that balance sheet to build up as needed for customers. I guess my follow-up question, and I'll pass the line is, thanks for sharing the new monthly recurring revenue data. I think that's pretty straightforward. Just your thoughts longer term as you get out of supply issues, the 27% CAGR, is that sustainable, too low given the initiatives you have in place or too high given you're now growing off a larger base on a -- large numbers? Just your thoughts on that. And before I pass the line, just best wishes to you in your retirement.
Kent Thexton
Great. Thanks, Mike. Well, as you know, we've been talking about the transformation, and we've been talking about LTARR to show the design wins that we're getting. So I think that we're -- we remain on trajectory towards the $200 million recurring revenue by mid-2022 that we've talked about. And we see continued growth moving forward. We had 25% growth in Q4. We had, in the comps there, we added M2M into our business in the early part of 2020. So this growth, which is even stronger than Q4, there's no benefit of that acquisition. It's in the Q1 2020 numbers.
So this is organic and a very strong number, and we'll continue to drive from here. And I think that the reporting MRR helps give a good view and shape to the CAGR. We do have some seasonality in quarters, but I think the trend data is clear. As we said in that, we had 27% over the past 2 years, 30% in the past year. So we are seeing that continue to improve.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Thanos Moschopoulos from BMO Capital Markets.
Thanos Moschopoulos
How should we think about margins for the next little while, I mean, in light of the supply constraints? And obviously there was some noise in Q1 with the ransomware attack. But I mean, should we think about margins kind of going back to kind of Q4 levels? Or what would your expectation be?
Kent Thexton
Hi Thanos, thanks for that. And I'll ask Sam to jump in here in a second, but we're getting benefits of mix. So we're seeing increasing recurring revenue and our enterprise revenue, which is high margin, was held back by supply and late quarter issues with the ransomware, where we had a lot of our enterprise build planned for the last part of the quarter. So those mix elements help us, but there are headwinds with some extra costs from supply chain. So Sam, do you want to talk to that?
Samuel Cochrane
Yes. Thank you. So in the enterprise business specifically, we had some increased costs due to some parts that we had to procure in the gray market. So that's going to be a headwind for the next little while. We're not giving guidance on margins, but with better mix and growing high-margin recurring revenue in the connectivity, software and services space and then the headwinds from the component parts constrained environment going away in the future, you're going to see improvement. But in the short term, it's going to be about where it is.
Thanos Moschopoulos
Okay. And then as far as OpEx, was there anything meaningful associated with the ransomware attack from an OpEx perspective? And then should we think about Q1 being indicative of the run rate or what's the dynamic there?
Kent Thexton
Go ahead, Sam.
Samuel Cochrane
So the cyber event, if you look into the financials, I believe there was about $500,000 of net cost, and that was about the insurance deductible. So -- and that was disclosed in other expenses, so not in the run rate of OpEx. The OpEx reflects the cost initiatives that we put in place. So again, about at the level we expected.
Thanos Moschopoulos
Okay. On the cost side, though, is there -- I mean, I guess things like maybe travel expense is going back. Or I don't think you had much benefit from COVID wage subsidies, did you?
Samuel Cochrane
Not much. But again, if you look at the non-GAAP rec, it's in there, I think it was about $2 million for the quarter, but we non-GAAP it out.
Thanos Moschopoulos
Okay. Okay. And then finally, Kent, in terms of I guess you mentioned some of the applications driving 5G. And sorry, I don't think any comments as far as geographic area. Is that primarily a North American dynamic? Or where are you seeing that?
Kent Thexton
No, we're seeing 5G interest and demand globally. So we have significant activity going on in Europe with the demand for our 5G products. We're selling to many routing customers globally that are looking to deliver -- take our 5G modules and deliver 5G connectivity. We have a number of customers in Asia, particularly in Japan with interest. And then, of course, North America is very strong with the significant activity that you've seen from the carriers, and we've made announcements with work with T-Mobile and with AT&T and with Verizon, who are all very active in the 5G space.
Thanos Moschopoulos
And actually, I mean, given the record of 5G, that should be a positive for margins almost equal. Should it not? I mean, appreciating you have some other constraints and headwinds going on, but all those equal higher 5G mix drive margins, right?
Kent Thexton
Well, 5G products are still quite expensive. And so our margins are good on a dollar basis. You won't see a big impact on a percentage basis because it's a bigger ticket item. And those prices will come down over time, and I think will give us more opportunities, but we're still in the very early innings of 5G. As I said in my comments, we're off to a good start. We have -- and I couldn't be happier with our design win space in terms of number of people that are relying us for their 5G products.
But they're just in the early stages of those rollouts. So we'll see that grow throughout the year, and we think that 2022, and as we get to further maturity of the standard, we'll see a significant growth.
Thanos Moschopoulos
Great. Thanks, Kent. Best wishes for your retirement.
Kent Thexton
Thanks, Thanos.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Josh Nichols from B. Riley.
Michael Nichols
And really good to see the demand outlook for 2Q, given some of the headwinds the company faced in the first quarter. Could you provide a little bit more color on what the expectation is? I know gross margins were impacted by around 100 bps quarter-over-quarter. Do you think you're able to maintain the current level or the expectations going forward with the supply chain?
Samuel Cochrane
Yes, like I said...
Kent Thexton
Yes, I'll let Sam elaborate on that.
Samuel Cochrane
Yes. Like I said earlier with Thanos' question, as we have better mix in growing high-margin connectivity, software and services revenue, that mixed with the improvement in the supply environment will get more gateways and routers out, which are higher margin. So that mix will improve our margin. And then also having to buy more expensive parts in the gray market and extra engineering cost to rework products will improve. So in the short term, I think it's a good level where we're at in Q1 here, but lot of tailwinds for the future.
Michael Nichols
And then just kind of tangentially on that point that you just made. I know you mentioned before that the company's enterprise pipeline kind of doubled last year. I know it was down a little bit in the first quarter because of this ransomware attack. But how is that pipeline looking as we kind of move into like the back half of this year? It's obviously higher margin and fairly accretive to the business? And what are your expectations on that front?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Our Q1 was strong from an orders perspective. And our orders for the first half of the year are up over 50% from our orders in the first half of 2020. So the demand continues to be robust. Challenge to ship all of that product. So it's not about demand side. So our -- the work we've been doing with customers, products, partners has been going very well, and we see that continuing as we move forward. We think we're going to be able to catch up on a lot of product in Q2. One particular supply shortage part in Q1, we were able to alleviate a lot of that late in the quarter, but then with the ransomware we weren't able to get those products shipped. So hence, the slight down year-over-year, which is disappointing because it's not reflective of where our orders were at, and we're working tirelessly right now to get more product into the hands of our customers that definitely need it.
Michael Nichols
And then last question for me. I don't know if you could or how easy be able to do. But if you could try and quantify the revenue impact regarding like the cyberattack and also some of the component shortages, I'm just trying to get a ballpark figure for how much of an impact that had to the revenue for this quarter, as I think about longer term opportunities?
Kent Thexton
Well, I think that as you look at the -- our release that we put out, we said that we had talked before that we thought that the impact of supply chain shortages was going to mean that there'd be 15% orders above what we had in revenue and said now in Q1, that looks like 20% above orders that we weren't able to ship. And then Sam added in his guidance that our midpoint of guidance is $120 million for Q2, but we have orders 20% higher than that number that we'll have to work through the supply chain and get those shipped as soon as possible, but mostly sliding into Q3.
So that's sort of the nature of the world right now where we're working to get orders with as much lead time as possible. Anything that comes in a short lead time is likely going to be unable to get shipped as we work to get the component parts to be able to build those products. And for the -- okay. Go ahead, Sam.
Samuel Cochrane
I was going to just mention that for the ransomware incident, we recovered quite quickly from that, as you could tell from the discovery to when we resumed production. So you can kind of estimate from that brief period what the impact would have been from the quarter. And I think a few analysts did.
Kent Thexton
Does that answer your questions, Josh?
Michael Nichols
Yes. Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it. That's it.
Kent Thexton
Great. Thanks.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Scott Searle from ROTH Capital.
Scott Searle
In the enterprise end markets, Kent, I was wondering if you could provide a little bit of color in terms of where you're seeing the demand from an end market perspective, if things like CBRS are starting to play in? And then also the opportunity for recurring services in and around the enterprise router opportunity, kind of like CradlePoint, like type of services, if you're seeing that opportunity out there, and if that would stay within that business segment when you're reporting enterprise going forward?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Thanks, Scott. Thanks for your questions. Good to hear from you. So we're seeing enterprise demand in a number of areas. So yes, you asked -- specifically your question, that is driving demand. We're seeing quite a few -- quite a bit of interest in those deployments, working with a number of partners like Motorola and others on CBRS deployments. And so that's a nice growth area.
Public safety remains very strong. And so we're winning a lot of business as needs in public safety happen. We're also in our commercial area and with utility and smart grid applications, seeing good growth in those areas. So we're -- areas that we focus on are all performing well, and we're focusing on delivering product into that and continuing to build our strong pipeline as we move through that.
On the recurring revenue side, yes, we do attach our software solutions and support to our gateways. With our new 5G launch, and we've rolled out, I think I mentioned previously, but a couple of years in development, a complete new support cloud service to attach. So we think that we have opportunities to continue to grow that area of attach and more sophisticated cloud support for our gateways to our customers. So we continue to drive recurring revenue there. Also, in some instances, we will attach connectivity to our gateways. But for the most part, it's around our cloud and support with our gateways.
Scott Searle
Great. Very helpful. And lastly, if I could, I know you're not providing guidance in terms of the immediate gross margin outlook. But backing into the numbers in terms of the new revenue lines that you provided, it seems like the module side is -- still remains challenged, a little bit under 20% gross margins. I'm wondering how you're thinking about that business longer term? Is this going to be a 25% gross margin business in '22, assuming a normalized component environment? Or is this something where you could get the 30% plus? And Kent, best of luck in your retirement.
Kent Thexton
Okay. Thanks, Scott. So I think that if we work to pivot to solutions. So we're not just selling a module. We built in -- are ready to connect built-in SIM technology into our modules so that we can drive the connectivity. And so sometimes the gross margin on the module may be very low, but we're adding a high-margin recurring revenue stream to that. So there's slight timing differences, you'll sell the module and recognize that low 20% gross margin, but then you're seeing 40% to 50% recurring revenue gross margin that extends for the length of that asset.
So I think that the overall value that we see from each one of our deployments is increasing as we increase our attach rates. The competitive environment remained very tight on the module side. And that's why we came up with our strategy of being the complete and trusted IoT solution leader as being able to provide that complete device to cloud solution to customers. And so as we've described with our design wins, with our LTARR wins, and you can see it now coming in our recurring revenue growth, we're winning out in the marketplace with that offer, and we expect the competitive environment on the module-only space will remain tight. But we have the opportunity to grow significant revenue and gross margin from being that complete solution provider.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Paul Treiber from RBC Capital Markets.
Paul Treiber
Just on cash flow, I was hoping you can delve into your comments on next quarter in terms of cash flow being flat, although you mentioned -- you said you'd recover from the ransomware attacks. Was just hoping you could just outline for next quarter, what are some of the moving parts of cash flow?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Hi Paul, and I'll let Paul -- I'll let Sam jump into that one.
Samuel Cochrane
Thanks, Kent. Thanks for the question, Paul. You're going to see revenue improve. You're going to see OpEx -- we've already seen that big improvement in 2021 versus 2020 from our cost reduction initiative. So you'll start to see kind of better cash from operations. You're going to see a little bit of continued investment in working capital as we are combating an unprecedented environment in supply. And you'll see some recovery in the -- from the ransomware incident in terms of insurance recovery plus being able to do our AR factoring program, which we do at a pretty low cost, around 1%. So those are the big moving pieces for the quarter.
Paul Treiber
So is it right to characterize that the factor and the benefit from factoring coming back in maybe that recovery of the insurance recovery a little bit there would be offset by the investment in -- on the supply side?
Samuel Cochrane
That's basically the right way to think about it. The other big investment in the quarter, not huge numbers, but we're investing in next-gen 5G. So we're a big believer in 5G and we're putting some investment in CapEx dollars there. So that will be another sort of smaller piece, buy, yes, that's a good way to think about it.
Paul Treiber
Okay. That's helpful. And then, Kent, I mean, good luck in your retirement. On the -- you mentioned this via the last conference call. Is there an update on the CEO search? I noticed some costs in the quarter. How is that going? When do you expect that to be completed?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Thanks for your good wishes. The CEO search is going well, and the Board's run a strong process in many good candidates. They've converged on a candidate at this point and expect you'll see us make an announcement early in Q3. So I -- likely going to be around a little bit longer than my June 30 target that I had put out there, but expect we'll make that transition. So my goal is to deliver a very strong Q2 and then help a very successful transformation, building off the momentum that we have. And so you'll hear from us in Q3 in that regard.
Operator
[Operator Instructions]. The next question comes from the line of Derek Soderberg from Colliers Securities.
Derek Soderberg
Kent, I want to start with 5G and sort of the competitive environment there. As it relates to the hardware piece alone and then the entire solution, how do you feel about your product differentiation versus what's out there? And do you guys expect to take share of the market as this 5G rollout accelerates?
Kent Thexton
Sure. Good to talk to you, Derek. Thanks for the question. So we've done very well on 5G and Sierra Wireless has great history and depth of bringing new air interfaces to market. So we're really the trusted partner in the industry as 3G came, as 4G came and now with 5G. So we've been able to deliver this product. And very complex, lot of antenna challenges and obviously the most complex product ever brought to market.
So we've been -- we have picked up share and slots with many players in the router industry and working to deliver to them. And then the second part is our modules into our own gateways. We've launched and just made a press release this week on our 2 new 5G gateways that we brought to market, our XR80 and XR90. And we're very proud of those.
One of the leading global carriers in their analysis told us that we were by far the best gateway that they had seen from a overall performance and management perspective. So we're proud on both aspects of that. What we're doing with the 5G technology to provide the high bandwidth and low latency connectivity link and then being able to leverage that into our gateways for customers that are looking to take advantage of that. So we're -- this is where we're at our best, and I'm very proud of our team in terms of what they've delivered here in the 5G space.
Derek Soderberg
Great. And then just a quick question on the 2 new segments as it relates to recurring revenue. I'm wondering how much of that recurring revenue that you report is coming from the separate IoT and Enterprise Solutions? If you can kind of split that out, what that looks like?
Kent Thexton
Sam, do you want to talk to that?
Samuel Cochrane
Yes, sure. I mean we're not sort of providing that level of detail, but more of the recurring revenue of the connectivity software and services piece is in the IoT solutions segment. But there is a decent chunk in the Enterprise Solutions piece as well. So think 60-40-ish would be fine to think about.
Operator
The floor is now closed for questions. There are no questions in the queue. I would now like to turn the call back to Kent Thexton. Please go ahead, sir.
Kent Thexton
Thank you. Well, thank you, everybody, for participating in our Q1 earnings call and good questions. I set out the vision in 2018, 2019 to transform Sierra Wireless to the leading IoT solutions player with complete device to cloud offers. So as you can see, we've innovated in our solutions offers and rebuilt our go-to-market to help customers quickly get their IoT deployments, delivering valuable edge data and control.
We've been winning valuable design wins over the past 2 years, and the hard work is showing with our strongly growing connectivity, software and service revenue, our new definition for our recurring revenue. I'd like to thank the dedicated and hardworking team at Sierra Wireless for driving this successful transformation. So thanks to all. I'll be speaking to many of you in the coming days. Meanwhile, I'll focus on delivering a strong Q2. All the best. Cheers.

MELISSA BLOCK, Host:
We learned today of the death of Dana Reeve from lung cancer. She was 44 years old. She was the widow of actor Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed after a horseback riding accident in 1995 and died in 2004. Dana Reeve's own diagnosis with lung cancer came less than a year after her husband's death. She was known for her work as an advocate for research into paralysis. She took over as chair of the Christopher Reeve Foundation after he died. Susan Howley is executive vice president of the foundation.
SUSAN HOWLEY: Dana took a very, very great interest in the quality of life for people living with spinal cord injury. Whereas Chris was really focused on the science, Dana came at spinal cord injury from the perspective of the caregiver, the wife and the mother of Chris's son. And so her interests were really in doing everything that she could to enhance the day to day living of people with spinal cord injuries. She actually was the vision behind the foundation's quality of life grants program.
BLOCK: And what sorts of grants have those been? What sorts of projects have been funded with that?
HOWLEY: Well, to give you an example, a quality of life grant might go to a camp for children to render it wheelchair accessible. One grant that Dana was particularly fond of was given to the Crotched Mountain School to build an accessible tree house. So these were the kinds of things that really sparked her interest and her passion.
BLOCK: Was she also involved in, say, promoting stem cell research and things that would help --
HOWLEY: She was. She became a wonderful advocate for research and for stem cell research after Chris had died. She picked up that mantle very willingly and, I might add, very, very capably.
BLOCK: Did she talk to you about the lessons that she learned through her experience, nearly a decade, of living with her husband who'd had this injury?
HOWLEY: Well she never talked to me personally about it. I think it's safe to say that she lived those years as Chris's wife after his injury with such grace and compassion and with an unfailingly good sense of humor and with a wonderful perspective. And so many of us remember her talking about the life after spinal cord injury and the fact that there were still so many unexpected and unanticipated joys that came to her and to Chris and to Will after his injury. And I think that in that sense she's really quite an extraordinary role model for all of us.
BLOCK: Will is their son. He's now 13, I believe.
HOWLEY: Yes.
BLOCK: You mentioned the joys that came to them. What were some of those joys that we might not be thinking of?
HOWLEY: I, you know, my sense was always just the fact that they could still be together as a family, that they could still share intellectually and emotionally all the things that they had shared prior to Chris's injury. I mean, there's that famous line, after he was injured, where Dana evidently said to him, But you're still you.
And that, to me, is a very profound message, because spinal cord injury really doesn't change the essence of a person. It changes, yes, their physical capabilities, but what makes us individuals remains intact. And I think that that's something that they both appreciated and built on magnificently for the ten years that he had after his injury.
BLOCK: Well, Susan Howley, I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks very much for talking with us.
HOWLEY: Thank you.
BLOCK: Susan Howley is the executive vice president and director of research for the Christopher Reeve Foundation. She was talking about Dana Reeve who took over as chair of the foundation after her husband died.
Dana Reeve died yesterday of lung cancer, though she was not a smoker. About one in five women diagnosed with lung cancer are non-smokers, according to the American Cancer Society. Just a few months ago, Dana Reeve had said her prognosis was looking better all the time and that she was beating the odds. But a friend tells us she grew very sick within the last two weeks.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Carter Graham hit two home runs, Drew Bowser hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning and No. 2 overall seed Stanford pulled away for an 8-4 victory over Texas State on Sunday night, forcing a Monday showdown between the schools for the Stanford Regional title.
Stanford (44-15) had its back against the wall after losing 5-2 to Texas State (47-13) on Saturday night. The Cardinal got another shot at the Bobcats by beating UC Santa Barbara 8-4 in an elimination game earlier Sunday. The winner earns a spot in the Super Regionals.
Texas State took a quick lead on Jose Gonzalez's solo homer in the top of the first, but Graham answered with a two-run shot in the bottom of the inning for Stanford.
Justin Thompson's RBI double in the third knotted the score at 2-2, but Graham drilled a three-run shot in the fourth to put Stanford back on top.
Dalton Shuffield's solo homer in the fifth and Peyton Lewis' RBI single in the sixth got the Bobcats within a run.
Ty Uber (4-1) went five innings in a start for Stanford to get the win. He allowed three runs on three hits and four walks. Ryan Bruno allowed only a walk in the final two innings, striking out four.
Texas State starter Tony Robie (4-1) was tagged with his first loss after allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings.

The Earl and Countess of Wessex laughed, joked and chatted about the Queen as they joined thousands at a picnic near Windsor Castle.
A sea of red, white and blue stretched down 800 metres of the Long Walk as around 3,000 people, young and old, converged on almost 500 tables on Sunday afternoon.
Edward and Sophie joined the “Big Picnic” shortly after 2pm, greeting every table for almost two hours.
The couple were asked several times how the Queen was doing, to which the pair responded with positive updates about her condition.
Edward could be heard talking with one elderly lady who said she remembered the monarch’s coronation in 1953.
Sophie was also asked about her daughter Lady Louise Windsor, who she said was “really well”.
Another attendee spoke fondly about the couple’s wedding, with Edward joking “don’t remind me of that one!”
They then watched a group of children perform a Jubilee-themed song, with the couple seen clapping their hands.
Those at the picnic, many of whom were dressed in Union flag-themed clothes, brought with them big baskets of food despite the grey weather.
Tables were decorated with red, white and blue bunting and balloons, along with Union flag tablecloths and plates.
On top sat sandwiches, pies, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, and chicken drumsticks, while some people were drinking Prosecco and champagne.
Many more people set their picnics up on grass to the side of the tables, with organisers estimating 10,000 were there in total.
Big screens blurring images of the Queen were dotted around the area, along with food vans and a stage where a musician played.
People could be seen walking around in crowns and masks of members of the royal family.
Some were seen in their own tents which they had brought along.
Sarah Niles, 56, from Langley, in Berkshire, told the PA news agency: “It’s such a lovely atmosphere in spite of the bland weather.
“I got here around 7am to set up, I just wanted to be around people at a time like this.
“We’ll only see this kind of thing once in a lifetime I suppose, to have a Queen for this long is very rare so it’s right we celebrate her in this way.”
Another named Susan, said: “It was pretty exciting to meet Edward and Sophie, they were so nice and it was a great touch for them to take the time out of their day.”
A nearby pub was seen gearing up to serve takeaway beers. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/uk/4377180/edward-and-sophie-join-giant-picnic-to-mark-queens-platinum-jubilee/ | 2022-06-06T07:16:17Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/news/uk/4377180/edward-and-sophie-join-giant-picnic-to-mark-queens-platinum-jubilee/ | true | 6 |
- USD/TRY refreshes the highest levels in more than six months amid inflation fears in “Türkiye”.
- Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan hints at downtrend in inflation after 24-year high price numbers at home.
- Hawkish Fed bets, mixed sentiment also underpin the pair’s upside momentum.
USD/TRY remains on a front foot around $16.36, the highest level in 2022, amid Turkish lira (TRY) traders’ inflation fears despite President Erdogan’s efforts to placate TRY buyers. The pair’s upside momentum takes clues from Friday’s strong Turkish inflation data for May, as well as the US dollar’s rebound during the last week, not to forget hopes of Fed’s faster/heavier rate hikes.
“Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that inflation figures from the month of May, when annual consumer prices jumped to a 24-year high, showed inflation was now on a downward trend,” said Reuters. It’s worth noting that Turkish Inflation for May jumped to 73.5% in the latest print.
Reuters also mentioned that the lira shed 44% last year and has been the worst performer in emerging markets for several years running due largely to economic and monetary policy concerns under President Tayyip Erdogan's government.
On the other hand, the odds favoring the Fed’s 0.50% rate hike in September recently jumped to 75% versus 35% a week ago, which in turn highlights this week’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and favor the US dollar buyers. That said, the US Dollar Index (DXY) snapped a two-week downtrend by the end of Friday, down 0.14% intraday near 102.00 by the press time.
The greenback’s latest could be linked to the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) which came in 390K for May, more than 325K expected but lesser than the upwardly revised 428K previous readouts. Further, the Unemployment Rate remained unchanged at 3.6% versus expectations of a slight decline to 3.5%. Additionally, the US ISM Services PMI fell to 55.9 in May, versus 56.4 market consensus and 57.1 flashed in April. Following the data, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester crossed wires while saying that the one problem that the Fed has is inflation. The policymakers also added that the risks of a recession have gone up.
Amid these plays, Wall Street benchmarks closed in the red and the US 10-year Treasury yields posted the first weekly gain in three to portray the risk-off mood the previous day. However, the S&P 500 Futures rise half a percent to 4,126 and the US 10-year Treasury yields dropped 1.3 basis points (bps) to 2.942% at the latest.
Moving on, USD/TRY traders should pay attention to the risk catalysts, amid a pre-Fed blackout for Fed policymakers, while waiting for Friday’s US CPI.
Technical analysis
A successful break of the previous resistance line from early January, around 16.45 by the press time, directs USD/TRY prices towards the $17.00 threshold before challenging the late 2021 peak surrounding $18.36.

MIAMI (AP) -- Disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and a former business partner were sentenced Wednesday to five years and 10 months in prison for fraud related to their 2000 purchase of the SunCruz Casinos gambling fleet.
The sentences were the minimum under their plea agreement in the case.
Abramoff and Adam Kidan, who both pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud, won't start their sentences immediately so they can continue cooperating in a Washington corruption investigation and a Florida probe into the murder of former SunCruz owner Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis.
In court, Abramoff said the case was "incredibly painful" for himself, his family and his friends.
"In the past few years I have begun the process of becoming a new man," he said.
Abramoff had arrived at the courthouse several hours early, avoiding the media before his sentencing. Under the plea agreement, both faced a sentence of between five years, 10 months, and seven years, three months in federal prison.
Both were also ordered to pay restitution of more than $21 million.
The two admitted concocting a fake $23 million wire transfer to make it appear they had made a large cash contribution to the $147.5 million purchase of SunCruz Casinos. Based on that fake transfer, lenders provided the pair with $60 million in financing.
The same week Abramoff pleaded guilty to the SunCruz fraud, he entered guilty pleas to three federal charges as part of a wide-ranging corruption probe that could involve up to 20 members of Congress and aides, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. No date has been set for his sentencing in that case.

Star Trek And Strange New Worlds' Anson Mount Beautifully Unite With Star Wars In Opposition To Moses Ingram's Treatment Online
The Star War s franchise and Obi-Wan Kenobi stars reached out in support of actress Moses Ingram after she faced racism online following her debut as Third Sister in the Disney+ series, and they’re not the only ones. In a show of solidarity, Anson Mount, a star of the rival franchise via Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , reached across the aisle to support Ingram and send a message that intolerance is not acceptable.
Anson Mount took to social media to show some support for Moses Ingram after the actress revealed that she’d received hundreds of racist messages since her debut on Obi-Wan Kenobi . Mount, who Paramount+ subscribers can see regularly by watching the acclaimed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , shared a photo of Ingram on social media while assuring her that he and the Trek community have her back:
The post gained a lot of support on social media, including those in the Star Trek fandom. In fact, the official Trek account commented on Anson Mount’s post and sent a message of support to Moses Ingram and Star Wars :
It’s no surprise at all that Star Trek was quick to side with Star War s, even with the “rivalry" between the two franchises. IDIC, or “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations,” is the basis of Vulcan philosophy and a concept that the Trek franchise has pushed since its very beginnings . Even if there is some rivalry in terms of which is the superior science-fiction franchise, the two can agree that racism is not something either fanbase should have to tolerate.
It’s also worth noting that while there might be some debate online between Star Wars and Star Trek fans, the rivalry is more or less a thing of the past for many. After all, who wouldn’t want to chase a new episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi with an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds the following day? All sci-fi fans, regardless of universe preference, should come together, perhaps as Anson Mount suggested in his tweet:
See moreAnson Mount’s statement echoes sentiments from a video message from Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor, who condemned the racist comments about Moses Ingram. McGregor called the messages “horrendous” and said that seeing some of the messages that Ingram received broke his heart. Ingram is just the latest Star Wars star to face racism from the fandom, and sequel trilogy actors Kelly Marie Tran and John Boyega faced the same. Hopefully, actors and franchises continuing to reach out will help reduce the cruel commentary on social media.
Obi-Wan Kenobi streams new episodes on Disney+ on Wednesdays, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds streams on Paramount+ on Thursdays. Those not too familiar with the latter should get acquainted, as I believe it’s a perfect entry point for those looking to get into Star Trek . | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2622878164164/star-trek-and-strange-new-worlds-anson-mount-beautifully-unite-with-star-wars-in-opposition-to-moses-ingram-s-treatment-online | 2022-06-06T07:23:16Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2622878164164/star-trek-and-strange-new-worlds-anson-mount-beautifully-unite-with-star-wars-in-opposition-to-moses-ingram-s-treatment-online | false | 1 |

The party ends but the UK monarchy looks to the future
LONDON (AP) - Extinguish the beacons, take down the stage, roll up the bunting. The party´s over.
After four days of parades, street parties and a gala concert celebrating Queen Elizabeth II´s 70 years on the throne, the Platinum Jubilee celebrations ended Sunday with a queen's wave from Buckingham Palace and the crowds outside singing "God Save the Queen."
But as the tributes to Elizabeth's lifetime of service begin to fade, Britain is left with the reality that the second Elizabethan age is in its twilight.
The 96-year-old monarch, limited in recent months by what the palace calls "episodic mobility issues," made only three brief public appearances during the Jubilee. Her son and heir, 73-year-old Prince Charles, stood in for her at other events.
"Inevitably, we´re going to lose her sometime. And so this will have been a sort of a tail end of a golden reign, won´t it?´´ historian and royal biographer Hugo Vickers told The Associated Press. "That´s why it´s got a little bit of hint of sadness, I find."
That truth was the subtext of the weekend´s events as newspapers, TV screens and even the walls of the palace were filled with images of Elizabeth changing from a glamorous young queen in crown and diamonds to a global grandmother known for her omnipresent handbag and love of horses and corgis.

Elizabeth is the U.K.´s longest-serving monarch, the only sovereign most people have ever known.
That longevity has bred a deep affection for the queen. The question for the House of Windsor is whether the public will transfer those feelings to Charles when the time comes.
From the opening military review to the closing pageant outside the palace, the royal family sought to build a case for that continuity, underscoring the monarchy´s historic traditions and its role as a unifying institution that helps the country celebrate its successes and provides comfort during times of sorrow.
Charles was front and center throughout as he stood in for his mother.
Wearing a ceremonial scarlet tunic and bearskin hat, he reviewed the troops during the Queen´s Birthday Parade on Thursday. The next day, he was the last guest to enter St. Paul´s Cathedral and took his seat at the front of the church for a service of thanksgiving in honor of the queen. At Saturday´s star-studded concert in front of Buckingham Palace, he delivered the main tribute to the woman he addressed as, "Your Majesty, mummy."
The royals know they have work to do. Over the past year, the monarchy has been buffeted by allegations of racism and bullying, a sex scandal involving Prince Andrew and demands that they apologize for Britain´s historic role in the enslavement of millions of Africans.
But if the Windsors wanted proof of the enduring popularity of all things royal, they need look no further than the tens of thousands who crammed the streets and parks around Buckingham Palace to cheer, wave the Union flag and say "Thank you, ma´am" over the past four days.
Demonstrations of public support are crucial to the monarchy´s survival, said royal historian Ed Owens.
"The Jubilee is defined not simply by the presence of the queen, but by many various other actors, and one of the key actors ... is the British public,´´ said Owens, author of "The Family Firm: Monarchy, Mass Media and the British Public 1932-1953." "All these events are playing to the British public ... the jubilee is as much a celebration of the British people in the British nation as it is the queen herself."
Since assuming the throne after the death of her father on Feb. 6, 1952, Elizabeth has been a symbol of stability as Britain negotiated the end of empire, the dawn of the information age and the mass migration that transformed the country into a multicultural society.
Throughout it all the queen has built a bond with the nation through a seemingly endless series of public appearance as she opened libraries, dedicated hospitals and bestowed honors on deserving citizens.
Actor and writer Stephen Fry captured this lifetime of service, carried out far away from the glittering state occasions and military parades that rivet the media´s attention, as he delivered his own tribute during Saturday evening's Jubilee concert outside Buckingham Palace.
"How many local sewage works has her majesty opened with a bright smile? How many plaques unveiled? How many trees planted? How many ribbons cut, ships launched?" Fry asked, drawing a chuckle from the crowd. "How many prime ministers tolerated? For that alone, no admiration is high enough."
While they would have like to see more of the queen, fans like Anne Middleton, 61, seemed to understand the limitations of her health issues.
Middleton, a human resources executive, traveled to London from her home in Wales for the long holiday weekend. Wearing red, white and blue nail polish and a dress covered in the Union and Welsh flags, she and her friends watched Saturday´s concert from camp chairs in St. James´s Park.
"We wanted to turn out and let her know that we´re there for her, too,´´ Middleton said. "Because she´s always been there for us.´´
The queen´s public appearances during the Jubilee were brief but symbolic, underscoring three pillars of her reign: a personal bond with the public, strong links to the armed forces and support for the Commonwealth, a group of 54 nations with former colonial ties to Britain.
On Thursday afternoon she joined other senior members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a flypast by 70 military aircraft and wave to supporters who filled the street below. Later, she took part in a beacon lighting ceremony at Windsor Palace, the culmination of event that spanned the Commonwealth.
The weekend concluded with another balcony appearance for the cheering crowds, this time accompanied only by Prince Charles and his wife and Prince William and his wife and children.
The message couldn´t have been clearer: Here is the present and the future of the monarchy.
Robert Lacey, a royal historian and adviser to the Netflix series "The Crown," believes the royal family´s connection to the British public will endure.
"There is a magic about royalty. If you don´t care to accept it, that´s up to you," he said.
"But for many Brits, the magic moment (is) when the queen or Prince Charles ... turn up in your neighborhood," he said. "You are touched with a magic - which is no longer divine, but which represents the community - which says, ´You matter and you´re part of a bigger picture, a society, a community.'"

Sony announced Resident Evil Village would be one of the launch titles for the PS VR2, the PlayStations next-generation VR headset. The PlayStation VR2 system is currently under development, and Resident Evil Village will be able to deliver even more intense experiences, taking full advantage of the vivid graphics possible from the headset 4K HDR display, eye-tracking, PlayStation 5s 3D audio, and more. PlayStation VR2 is looking to make traversing through Resident Evil Village an even more immersive experience, showing off an increased sense of scale that makes players feel like they are standing in the same room with Madame Dimitrescu or the game’s other enemies.
Today, during the PlayStations State of Play stream, Capcom revealed that Resident Evil Village is set to soon offer even more close-up, in-person experiences, by slipping into the PlayStation VR2. For its first announcement of the PlayStation Showcase, Capcom debuted a teaser for the remastering of Resident Evil 4, the survival horror game that was initially released for GameCube in 2005. The teaser featured a remastering of Resident Evil 4, the survival horror game that was initially released for GameCube in 2005.
As part of the Sony Interactive Entertainments State of Play stream earlier this week, we got an update about some of the PSVR2 games that are being worked on. In a 30-minute stream Thursday, Sony went over a variety of third-party games coming to the PlayStation console, including Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil 4, and Final Fantasy XVI, along with several upcoming titles for the PS VR2 that have no date yet. Unfortunately, the trailer did not give any clues about the release date, but reports indicate the PS VR2 is coming at some point in the first months of 2023, so perhaps that is when we will get a look at an update.
What is unclear, though, is if PSVR2 content would convert a Resident Evil 4 remake into a first-person shooter, similar to the VR adaption landing in 2021s The Meta Quest 2. While the base game appears to be a third-person adventure (like the console title), Sony has announced that PSVR2 content is being developed. Not many details were revealed, but we know this title will make the most of the headset’s 4K HDR display, PlayStation VR2s eye-tracking, PlayStation 5s 3D audio, and more.

The first teaser for this game’s VR release can be seen above, courtesy of Sony, following its reveal at its State of Play event. Details about the Resident Evil Village VR2 release are scarce at the moment given the fact the game was just announced, but if you played either the Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil 4 VR releases, then you are probably well aware of how this title is going to be played. New gameplay elements are being introduced, like the ability to dual-wield weapons using each PlayStation VR 2s sensory controller.
The experience will feature PlayStation VR2s support for the sensory technologies, Sense, and will feature new ways of interacting with the world of Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village is going to follow in Resident Evil 7s footsteps by getting its own virtual reality release planned for the PlayStation VR2 First released on consoles and PC last year, Capcom has confirmed that their survival horror game Resident Evil Village, a follow-up to Resident Evil 7, will receive support for PSVR2 when it releases. | https://techstory.in/resident-evil-village-is-coming-to-playstation-vr2/ | 2022-06-06T07:32:49Z | https://techstory.in/resident-evil-village-is-coming-to-playstation-vr2/ | true | 1 |

Rep. Lauren Boebert Hits Back When Joy Behar Tries to Use Family Photo as a Smear
The biggest shrew on “The View” couldn’t let a mass shooting go by without shrieking her opinion on social media.
Decent people might view the massacre at a Buffalo grocery store with a measure of horror, but for gun-grabbing ghouls like ABC star Joy Behar, the deaths of 10 innocent people apparently slaughtered simply for the color of their skin was just another excuse to smear American lawmakers who stand up for Americans’ rights.
But Behar’s target, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, wasn’t backing down.
In a Twitter post after the May 14 shooting, Behar pulled out a photo Boebert originally posted in December, showing her posing with her four sons holding rifles in front of a Christmas tree.
Besides marking the holiday, the post was intended as support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who had come under fire for publishing a Christmas photo of his own family, similarly armed.
But when Behar posted it that Sunday, there was no mention of the context — just a picture of young men holding rifles a day after an 18-year-old man’s murderous rampage had made headlines around the country.
“This is obscene,” Behar wrote.
This is obscene. pic.twitter.com/GL6L5sakPl
— Joy Behar (@JoyVBehar) May 15, 2022
Actually, what’s obscene is Behar pulling out a months-old picture of a Colorado family that happens to believe in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and implicitly tying it to an atrocity more than 1,000 miles away from the Centennial State.
Boebert, being Boebert, didn’t let the slur go unanswered.
Joy-less, we know you hate America. Go back to your sex strike. https://t.co/fS3ui2tolo
— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) May 16, 2022
“Joy-less, we know you hate America,” she wrote. “Go back to your sex strike.”
As a nickname, the “Joy-less” is self-explanatory for anyone with an experience of Behar’s public persona. For a woman whose early jobs in show business included stand-up comedy, she’s not so much entertaining to watch as she is grating — and thoroughly unenjoyable.
The allusion probably baffled quite a few readers who don’t watch “The View” or keep up with Behar’s ignorant meanderings (and that no doubt includes the vast, vast majority of Americans who have better things to do with their time).
But Behar had used her platform on “The View” earlier this month to suggest a “sex strike” by American women to prevent a potential Supreme Court ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
To say that normal people don’t think like that is an understatement.
Behar never volunteered what possible connection there is between Supreme Court deliberations and the presumably private behavior of consenting adults throughout the land. And in all seriousness, it would be just about impossible to try to.
By the same token, it’s just about impossible to draw any kind of causal connection between the Boebert family’s appreciation for arms and the blood-drenched mania of a deeply disturbed young man from upstate New York.
But Behar’s followers on Twitter — who have to be a benighted bunch if ever there was one — evidently approved. Her post had almost 40,000 “likes” by mid-afternoon that Tuesday.
But Boebert made her point, too. By mid-afternoon that same Tuesday, her post had over 28,000 “likes.”
Raise them right. Never back down to tyranny. That’s why we love you!
— Susan Carr (@sscarr241) May 16, 2022
@laurenboebert – love that picture. Protect our 2nd amendment rights. Teach our children the right way to handle their firearms and they will take care of you too. I have the same picture with my 3 kids
— hula4fun (@Nikky5919) May 16, 2022
But it was also swamped with the kind of leftist social media scum that surges out whenever conservatives defend themselves. In fact, those tweets above were almost drowned in a putrid lake of insults aimed at Boebert’s alleged deficiencies as a mother, as a lawmaker and even as a thinking human being.
(It’s always disturbing to see how strangely acerbic supposedly liberal commenters can be when they’re ganging up on a woman.)
Boebert no doubt is getting used to it by now. The first-term congresswoman has stirred up her share of hatred from the left — very much including the coven on “The View” — without any of the mainstream media glorification the heroines of the left have engendered at similar career points (the abrasive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leaps to mind).
So another public attack by Joy Behar likely came as no surprise.
But Boebert hasn’t backed down before — and it doesn’t look like she’s going to start anytime soon.
If Republicans take control of the House in November — as looks likely — the whole party is going to need to have the same kind of spine. No sensible person is under any illusions about how the GOP is treated outside of conservative outlets, and when the stakes rise to pit a Republican House, or a Republican House and Senate, against a Democratic White House, the battle is really going to be joined.
The mainstream media is a lot bigger than Joy Behar. And if the midterms go the way the polls are pointing, things are going to get a lot more malicious.

British Prime Minister Johnson to face confidence vote
LONDON (AP) - Britain’s governing Conservatives will hold a no-confidence vote in Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday that could oust him as Britain’s leader.
Party official Graham Brady says he has received enough letters from lawmakers demanding a vote on Johnson’s leadership to trigger one. That happens if 54 Tory lawmakers — 15% of the party’s group in the House of Commons — write to Brady.
“The threshold of 15% has been passed,” Brady said. He said the vote would take place in person in the House of Commons on Monday evening.
If Johnson loses the vote among the 359 Conservative lawmakers, he will be replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister. If he wins, he can’t face another challenge for a year.
Johnson has been struggling to turn a page on months of ethics scandals, most notably over rule-breaking parties in government buildings during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Late last month an investigator’s report on what has become known as “partygate” slammed a culture of rule-breaking inside the prime minister’s No. 10 Downing St. office.
Civil service investigator Sue Gray described alcohol-fueled bashes held by Downing Street staff members in 2020 and 2021, when pandemic restrictions prevented U.K. residents from socializing or even visiting dying relatives.
Gray said the “senior leadership team” must bear responsibility for “failures of leadership and judgment.”
The prime minister said he was “humbled” and took “full responsibility” — but insisted it was now time to “move on” and focus on Britain’s battered economy and the war in Ukraine.
But a growing number of Conservatives feel that Johnson, the charismatic leader who won them a huge parliamentary majority in 2019, is now a liability.
If Johnson is ousted it would spark a Conservative leadership contest, in which several prominent government ministers are likely to run.
Conservative lawmaker Roger Gale, a Johnson critic, said “we have some very good alternatives to the prime minister so we’re not short of choice.
“Any single one of those people in my view would make a better prime minister than the one that we’ve got at the moment,” he told the BBC.
Discontent seems to have come to a head over a parliamentary break that coincided with celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. For many, the four-day long weekend was a chance to relax — but there was no respite for Johnson, who was booed by some onlookers as he arrived for a service in the queen’s honor at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Friday.
Cabinet minister Steve Barclay, a Johnson ally, said toppling the leader now would be “indefensible.”
“The problems we face aren’t easy to solve,” he wrote on the Conservative Home website. “Democracies around the world are all currently facing similar challenges. But under Boris Johnson’s leadership, our plan for jobs shows how we are navigating through these global challenges.
“To disrupt that progress now would be inexcusable to many who lent their vote to us for the first time at the last general election, and who want to see our Prime Minister deliver the changes promised for their communities.”

The game was full of excitement and the most competitive game played in the 13-year history of the event. The Teachers/Administrators picking up the come from behind win, in the last seconds of the game.
However, if you know anything about the history of this event, the event wasn’t about the game, the score or who won. More importantly it is about several communities coming together for a common cause, remembering, and honoring those officers that have paid the ultimate price, and expressing our gratitude to the men, and women of law enforcement that are currently serving. In addition, we were able to honor three officers whom most recently passed in the line of duty. Thanks to our spectators, the event raised over $1,000 for the family of deceased Pierce County Deputy Dom Calata. Every player, participant, volunteer, and spectator, you are the WINNERS!
Many thanks to our sponsors Columbia Bank, Korsmo Construction, Milgard Windows and Doors, Windemere Reality, Exit Reality, T-Town Apparel, the citizens of Lakewood and surrounding communities, Cranes Creations, the Clover Park School District and several of our local merchants, and distant merchants, for their donations and support of our Silent Auction and support/success of this event.

Elon Musk Preparing to Make Significant Cuts at His Company Due to 'Super Bad Feeling' About Biden's Economy: Report
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has ordered massive job cuts at the automaker, saying he has a “super bad feeling” about the economy.
An email to company executives about the move was seen by Reuters. It also told Tesla managers to “pause all hiring worldwide.”
Musk set a target of cutting 10 percent of Tesla’s jobs, Reuters reported. Roughly 100,000 people work for Tesla around the globe, which would mean about 10,000 job cuts to hit the 10 percent mark.
According to MarketWatch, Tesla stock dropped about 4 percent in pre-market trading after news of the memo hit.
The order to slash jobs came days after a memo came to light in which Musk ordered Tesla employees to return to in-person work or lose their jobs.
Everyone eats same food, uses same restrooms, etc – no executive chef or other ivory tower stuff.
There shouldn’t be this workers vs management two-class system. Everyone is a worker.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 2, 2022
Although Tesla sales have been strong, Musk is not the only one anticipating hard times to come.
“Musk’s bad feeling is shared by many people,” said Carsten Brzeski, global head of macroeconomic research at Dutch bank ING.
“But we are not talking about global recession. We expect a cooling of the global economy towards the end of the year. The U.S. will cool off, while China and Europe are not going to rebound,” he said.
JPMorgan Chase & Co CEO Jamie Dimon this week shared his look at the future of the economy saying a “hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way.”
Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives said Musk and Tesla were “trying to be ahead of a slower delivery ramp this year and preserve margins ahead of an economic slowdown.”
Tesla’s workforce has gone through ups and downs, according to The Verge.
The company had major layoffs in 2017, cut 9 percent of employees in June 2018 and then cut another 7 percent in January 2019. Another wave of cuts came in April 2020 at the dawn of the pandemic.
Musk has voiced his concern for the economy.
“I think we are probably in a recession and that recession will get worse,” he said last month.
“It’ll probably be some tough going for, I don’t know, a year, maybe 12 to 18 months, is usually the amount of time that it takes for a correction to happen,” he said.
Yes, but this is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen.
Also, all the Covid stay-at-home stuff has tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard. Rude awakening inbound!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 27, 2022
Musk had also commented about a recession in a tweet last month, saying a recession “is actually a good thing. It has been raining money on fools for too long. Some bankruptcies need to happen.”

A teaser of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is out. The upcoming film is a spinoff and prequel of the Hunger Games film series and stars Tom Blyth in the role of a young (18-year-old) Coriolanus Snow, the main antagonist of the original movies. Rachel Zegler also stars as Lucy Gray Baird, Snow’s mentee and a tribute from District 12 who was merely mentioned in the original story, and believed to be dead.
The teaser does not show any footage from the film. It is just a reveal and also provides the release date. Like the original franchise, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is also based on Suzanne Collins’ book.
The world of Hunger Games, set in an unspecified future, is a dystopia in a North American country called Panem. The country consists of Capitol, a wealthy city and mostly impoverished 13 districts surrounding it.
The titular Hunger Games were constituted after a rebellion against the supremacy of Capitol. They involved tributes — one girl and one boy from each district — taking part in deadly games that often lead to the death of all but one. The winner and their district are then awarded food and riches. The Hunger Games provide a sick sort of entertainment for the wealthy and the privileged and reminded inhabitants of districts as to what happens when they do not toe the line.

The original Hunger Games franchise was a huge critical and commercial success for the studio Lionsgate. It also made a star out of Jennifer Lawrence, who played the role of primary protagonist Katniss Everdeen.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes releases on November 17, 2023.

New infections fall statewide and in Dutchess, Putnam counties
■ The state’s 7-day average of new cases per 100,000 dropped on Tuesday (May 31) to its lowest level since April 27 as the current wave of infections continues to recede, Gov. Kathy Hochul said. The average, which stood at 51 per 100,000 on May 11, fell to 32.8 on Wednesday. Dutchess County’s 7-day average was 27.4 on Tuesday, compared to 41.4 on May 11. In Putnam County, the average had fallen to 31.8 from 47.5 over the same period.
■ Dutchess County is encouraging residents who test positive to ask their doctors about using approved antiviral and antibody drugs that can reduce the chances of a severe infection. “There are now medications that can mitigate the impacts and avoid hospitalization,” said county Health Commissioner Livia Santiago-Rosado said on Tuesday (May 24). “We encourage residents who test positive to explore this option quickly.”
■ The Food and Drug Administration authorized on Tuesday (May 17) a single booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine for children between 5 and 11 years old. The dose is recommended at least five months after the primary series of shots. The FDA had already authorized a booster dose for adolescents between 12 and 15 years old. The announcement is posted at the agency’s website.
■ The state Department of Health is recommending indoor mask-wearing for both vaccinated and unvaccinated residents, of Dutchess and Putnam, which are among the counties in New York designated “high risk” because of infection levels. The state reported a COVID-19 case rate of 51.8 per 100,000 for Dutchess as of May 12, compared to 6.8 on March 1. Putnam’s rate per 100,000 rose from 8.1 per 100,000 on March 1 to 79.9. The state’s data does not include positive cases from at-home tests unless residents report their results.
■ Gov. Kathy Hochul said on May 8 that she had tested positive for COVID-19. Hochul said she was asymptomatic and would work remotely this week while isolating.
■ Dutchess County exceeded 100 new positive cases for a fourth straight day on May 5, the first time that has occurred since the first four days of February. Cases also continue to rise in Putnam County, according to state data, which does not reflect all positive cases because people are not required to report results from at-home tests. The state reported an average of 54 new cases a day for Putnam County from May 3 to May 6, a level the county last reached in late-January.
■ Dutchess County reported 482 active cases as of April 23, its highest total since Feb. 6. Active cases in the county have more than doubled since April 5. The total is most likely an undercount because people who test positive using home COVID-19 tests are not required to report their results.
■ Putnam County reported a 7-day average of 218 new cases per 100,000 residents on April 20, more than double the 7-day average of 104 cases per 100,000 reported on March 20.
By the Numbers
■ State health officials said that 25,897 people had tested positive for COVID-19 as of June 4 in Putnam County and 69,643 in Dutchess. Statewide, there have been 5.44 million positives. For the latest numbers, click here.
■ Putnam has administered 447,727 tests as of June 4, of which 7.9 percent were positive on the previous day, while Dutchess has administered 1,380,309 tests, with 9.8 percent positive on the previous day.
■ Statewide, 56,200 people had died as of June 4, including 125 residents of Putnam County and 662 from Dutchess.
■ Dutchess had 433 active cases as of June 4 and 28.26 new reported cases per 100,000 residents, while Putnam reported 278 new cases in the seven days before May 25. There were 21 active cases in Beacon. Dutchess reported 20 people hospitalized due to complications of COVID-19 as of June 4 and Putnam had eight admitted in the seven days before June 4.
■ Statewide, there were 128,887 test results reported on June 2 and 7,877 positives, or 5.63 percent. The seven-day average of cases per 100,000 people was 40.31.
■ The number of people with COVID-19 who are hospitalized in New York state as of June 2 stood at 2,332 (-77 from the day before); the number in intensive care was 221 (+2); and the number of intubations was 85 (+5).
■ 385 Beacon school district students, 58 teachers and 51 staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 so far this school year, as of June 3, according to state data. Haldane has had 268 students, 24 teachers and 33 staff test positive, and Garrison, 54 students, eight teachers and five staff.
■Dutchess County’s Medical Reserve Corps won a national award for its response to COVID-19. The National Medical Reserve Corps recognized Dutchess’ volunteers with a 2022 Community Response Award, County Executive Marc Molinaro said on April 25. The corps’ 500 volunteers devoted more than 50,000 hours to helping vaccinate residents, helping people without computers book vaccination appointments and assisting residents with transportation, said Molinaro. Volunteers also helped with contact tracing and delivered groceries to residents isolated at home, he said.
■ Two new “highly contagious” subvariants of the Omicron variant “are likely contributing” to the rise in new COVID-19 cases in the Central New York and Finger Lakes regions, the state Department of Health said on April 13. While there is no evidence that the subvariants cause more severe symptoms, “The Department’s findings are the first reported instances of significant community spread due to the new subvariants in the United States,” said DOH.
■ The federal Food and Drug Administration on April 14 authorized, for emergency use, the InspectIR COVID-19 Breathalyzer, which can detect COVID-19 using breath samples. The test, done with a device that is the size of carry-on luggage, can provide results in less than three minutes, said the FDA. In a study of 2,409 people, the test correctly identified 91.2 percent of positive samples and 99.3 percent of negative samples, according to the agency.
■ The 57 new COVID-19 cases in Dutchess County reported by the state Department of Health for April 5 was the county’s highest-one day total since Feb. 12, reflecting a general uptick in infections statewide. Putnam’s 38 new cases on Tuesday was its highest one-day total since Feb. 17.
■ New York state residents who are eligible can begin making appointments for a second booster shot if at least four months have passed since their first booster, said Gov. Kathy Hochul on April 2. The Food and Drug Administration authorized second Pfizer or Moderna boosters for: anyone age 50 and over; those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for both their primary and first booster shots; and residents 18 and over with compromised immune systems. The shots are free, said Hochul. More information is available at the state’s booster dose webpage.
■ The Food and Drug Administration authorized, on March 29, a second booster shot of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for anyone age 50 and older; a second booster of the Pfizer vaccine for people age 12 and up with weakened immune system; and a second booster of the Moderna vaccine for those 18 and older with compromised immune systems. In each case, the second booster is recommended beginning four months after the first. More information can be found here.
Vaccine Information
■ Dutchess County vaccine information
■ Putnam County vaccine information
■ New York had administered at least one vaccine dose to 90.7 percent of the population ages 5 and older and had fully vaccinated 77.5 percent as of June 5, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data posted at the state’s COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker. Among adults, 95 percent had received at least one dose and 87.5 percent were fully vaccinated.
■ As of June 5, 77.2 percent of Dutchess residents had received at least one vaccine dose. In Beacon (12508), 72.2 percent had received at least one dose.
■ As of June 5, 82.8 percent of Putnam residents had received at least one vaccine dose. In Cold Spring (10516), 94.6 percent of residents had received one dose and in Garrison (10524), 86.6 percent.
■ In Dutchess and Putnam counties, nearly everyone (99 percent) aged 65 and older has received at least one vaccine dose.
■ In Dutchess, 37.2 percent of children ages 5 to 11 and 71.1 percent of those 12 to 17 had received at least one vaccine dose as of June 5. In Putnam, the percentages were 37.2 percent for ages 5 to 11 and 72.1 percent for ages 12 to 17.
■ Of the 57 positive COVID-19 cases reported since March 13 among Putnam County students, 49 were confirmed in the seven-day period ending March 26, according to date from the state, which lifted its mask mandate for schools on March 2. Nine of Haldane’s 14 student positives since March 13 were reported between March 20 and Saturday, and all three of Garrison’s. Five Beacon students have tested positive since March 13, including two during the seven-day period ending Saturday.
■ Despite a “small relative uptick” in COVID-19 cases, Health Commissioner Mary Bassett said on March 21 that the state is not expecting a wave of new cases from the subvariant of the Omicron variant designated BA.2. While BA.2 is behind a new growth in cases in Europe, and is more transmissible than Omicron, it “does not appear to cause more severe illness and it doesn’t appear to have any more ability to evade the vaccination immunity,” said Bassett. The subvariant represents about 42 percent of new cases, she said.
■ New York will distribute 20 million testing kits to schools, nursing homes, adult care facilities, senior centers and food banks, and to elected officials for distribution to the public, Hochul said on March 17. For schools, 1 million tests will be distributed every other week until the school year ends, she said. The state said it has so far given out more than 54 million kits since Jan. 1.
■ More than $500 million has been awarded to nearly 29,000 small businesses through New York’s Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program, Hochul said on March 17. Businesses with 10 or fewer employees have received 98 percent of the funds and women- and minority-owned businesses, 90 percent, said Hochul. Funding is still available. Visit the Empire State Development website for more information.
■ Masks will no longer be required at the Philipstown Community Center starting on March 2, said Amber Stickle, director of the town’s Recreation Department.
■ Putnam County on March 1 joined Dutchess County in announcing that it would not require masks for schools and daycare centers when the state’s mandate ends on March 2. Although the statewide mandate is lifted, counties and cities can still require masking in their local schools and daycares.
■ The state Department of Health released on Feb. 28 data showing waning vaccine effectiveness for children, adolescents and teenagers between ages 5 to 17, who are eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine. From Dec. 13 to Jan. 20, effectiveness for those between 12 and 17 years old fell to 51 percent from 66 percent, said DOH. For children between 5 and 11 years old, effectiveness declined to 12 percent from 68 percent, according to the data. More data can be found at the DOH website.
■ New York’s mask mandate for schools and daycare programs will end, effective March 2, Hochul said on Feb. 27. “With more New Yorkers getting vaccinated, and the steady decline over the past several weeks in cases and hospitalizations from Omicron, we are now entering a new phase of the pandemic,” she said. Counties and cities can still impose their own mask mandates. Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said on Sunday that he will not require them in local school districts. The order does not prevent parents from sending their children to school with masks.
■ New York State will not enforce a Feb. 21 deadline for workers at hospitals, nursing homes and other health care facilities to receive a booster shot “in order to avoid potential staffing issues and give healthcare workers more time,” Health Commissioner Mary Bassett said on Feb. 18. “The state will reassess in three months whether additional steps need to be taken to increase booster rates among the healthcare work force,” said Bassett.
■ Haldane’s administrators will be speaking to students about a possible end to the state’s mask mandate for schools in the next weeks, Superintendent Philip Benante said in an email to parents on Feb. 17. Gov. Kathy Hochul has said that the state will renew the mask requirement for schools during the first week of March. Benante said that the end to the mandate will not affect other health and safety measures, including air filtration, the use of outdoor spaces and social distancing.
■ New York reported 2,317 new cases on Feb. 14, a drop of 97 percent from an Omicron-wave peak of 90,132 new cases on Jan. 7.
■ The state reported 7 new COVID-19 cases for Putnam County on Feb. 13, the first time positive cases for any single day of testing have been below 10 since Nov. 8.
■ A study of hospitalizations and emergency room and urgent care visits showed that a booster dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was 91 percent effective against hospitalization during the Omicron wave for people who had their third shot within two months and 78 percent effective for those who had it four months or later, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Feb. 11.
■ The state on Feb. 10 lifted a mandate that businesses and venues require masks indoors or verify that customers are vaccinated. Counties and individual businesses can still require that customers wear masks. The mandate had been put into place Dec. 10 in response to a wave of COVID-19 cases fueled by the Omicron variant, but that surge is receding. “Business owners still have the the right to set rules regarding masking for their facilities, so please be respectful of their decisions,” said Beacon Mayor Lee Kyriacou in an email to residents. A mask requirement remains for schools, health care and adult-care facilities, homeless and domestic violence shelters and public transportation, said Gov. Kathy Hochul. The mandate for schools will be reassessed during the first week of March, she said.
■ As of Feb. 7, new daily COVID-19 cases in Dutchess County had fallen to pre-Omicron levels. The 66 new cases reported on Monday represented the third straight day Dutchess reported fewer than 100. It was also just the fourth day the county was under 100 new cases since Nov. 29, just before the Omicron variant fueled a record-breaking wave of infections. Dutchess set a pandemic high of 1,110 new cases on Jan. 7. Putnam County is experiencing the same trend. As of Monday, new cases had been below 30 for four straight days. Less than four weeks earlier, on Dec. 28, Putnam had a pandemic high of 630 new cases.
■ Dutchess County will distribute free home COVID-19 test kits and KN95 masks during a drive-through event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 6 at Red Hook High School, 103 W. Market St. in Red Hook. Kits will be limited to county residents and two per vehicle. Each kit contains two tests.
■ Beacon is planning to distribute free at-home COVID-19 tests from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 1 at two locations: Howland Public Library at 313 Main St. and the city Recreation Department at 23 W. Center St. The city is giving out one kit per household and requires proof of Beacon residency. Visit beaconny.gov for more information.
■ Putnam County is reducing hours at its COVID-19 testing sites in Philipstown and Carmel. The Philipstown Recreation Center at 107 Glenclyffe in Garrison will be open for testing on Wednesdays only, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the county said on Jan. 28. The Paladin Center at 39 Seminary Hill Road in Carmel will open for testing on Mondays and Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
■ Putnam County’s Department of Health will hold its last vaccination clinic on Feb. 8. The county, which has vaccinated about 25,400 people since opening its first clinic in January 2021, is winding down as cases fall and “people are now, unfortunately, not worrying about getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Michael Nesheiwat, health commissioner, on Jan. 28. Pharmacies and other providers will be able to handle the future demand for vaccinations, he said.
■ New York’s indoor mask mandate, which is being challenged in state court, will be extended to Feb. 10, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Jan. 28. Hochul’s administration is appealing a state Supreme Court ruling that the mandate is unconstitutional because it was ordered by the Department of Health and not approved by the Legislature.

Sam Jonah attend 2022 Graduation Ceremony at Ashesi University
UCC Chancellor harps on the need for ethical leadership
Underlines the importance of women in social progress despite challenges
Sir Sam Jonah, Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, UCC, has stressed the challenges that women particularly face in the world of work.
According to him, despite there being setbacks for all genders in “a very cynical world out there,” there are more pronounced challenges for ladies.
In a speech he delivered over the week at the 2022 Graduation Ceremony of Ashesi University, he underlined the importance of knowledge and ethical leadership, tasking graduands to do all it takes to impact their various societies positively in different fields.
“Trust me, the most potent weapons against prejudice are knowledge and competence. These harsh realities will be faced by all of you, but even to a greater extent by the ladies amongst you.
“Unfortunately, the world out there has not fully appreciated the tremendous role our women play in society and therefore the women among you might face even more challenges” Mr Jonah said.
He observed that globally, female leaders have proven gamechangers in many respects, citing among others Golda Meir of Israel; Winnie Mandela of South Africa; Indira Ghandi of India; Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom; and more recntly, Angela Merkel of Germany.
He proceeded to list eight Ghanaian women leaders who he described as "extraordinarily talented" having worked with them in one capacity or the other.
Find Sir Sam Jonah's list below:
Mansa Nettey of Standard Chartered Bank
Abena Osei-Poku of ABSA Ghana
Afua Kyei, the young CFO of Bank of England
Beatrice Agyemang of Media General
Mimi Darko of Food and Drugs Authority
Patricia Obo-Nai of Vodafone Ghana
Patience Akyianu of Hollard Insurance
Lucy Quist formerly of Airtel Ghana and now Managing Director of Morgan Stanley in London, which is one of the biggest investment banks in the world
The Executive Chairman of Jonah Capital, added two women to the list, his wife and daughter, praising their strides in business and entrepreneurship.
“And there is also my own wife who is here with me today, a uniquely talented and inspiring woman who conceived and built Africa’s first 5- star Marriott Hotel from scratch; not forgetting my daughter Tamara Jonah who after school chose the entrepreneurial route and set up what has become arguably Ghana’s biggest events management company”.
“These are just a few of the women who have shown that prejudice cannot stop a person who is determined to succeed; and these are women who against all odds, have broken the glass ceiling for your generation to emulate and perhaps even surpass,” he stressed. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Sam-Jonah-lists-8-extraordinarily-talented-women-leaders-in-Ghana-1553858 | 2022-06-06T08:12:53Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Sam-Jonah-lists-8-extraordinarily-talented-women-leaders-in-Ghana-1553858 | false | 2 |
DEVIN HANEY beat George Kambosos Jr on Saturday night to become the new undisputed lightweight champion of the world.
The American, 23, won via unanimous decision in Melbourne, Australia to take Kambosos' WBA, IBF, WBO and lineal crowns.
In doing so, Haney now holds all four world titles including the WBC belt and becomes the first boxer to unify the lightweight division since Pernell Whitaker in 1990 - and the first in the four belt era.
He is also just the eighth boxer in history to hold all four division belts - and the latest to do so since Canelo Alvarez beat Caleb Plant to unify the middleweight division in November.
The bout went the distance but it was a comprehensive win for Haney who scored 116-112, 116-112, 118-110 on the judges scorecards.
It means the WBA, IBF, WBO and lineal titles change hands for the second consecutive fight - with Kambosos only winning them in his last fight against Teofimo Lopez in November.
After the fight Haney said: "This is a dream come true.
"I was comfortable. I was sticking to the game plan, the game plan was to go in and hit and not get hit and I did that for the majority of the fight.
"I took the last round off because I knew I was comfortably ahead, but I fought a good, smart fight."
Haney controlled the fight throughout, using his jab effectively to frustrate Kambosos while evading punches.

But despite Haney's unanimous victory Kambosos feels the fight was close and the Australian is keen to face the 28-0 boxer again - so could activate the rematch clause in the contract.
The 21-1 fighter said: "I want to take the best test, the hardest test and I'm going to give him full respect for his victory and let him have his time.
"We'll do it again. I have to implement a few things but I thought the fight was very close." | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/boxing/8901801/haney-kambosos-jr-boxing-lightweight-champion/ | 2022-06-06T08:14:18Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/boxing/8901801/haney-kambosos-jr-boxing-lightweight-champion/ | false | 4 |

Is Insurance a Form of Gambling? The Ned Flanders Approach to Travel
For those of us that have grown up with the concept of insuring important or expensive things, the idea that it is a form of gambling is usually quite foreign. After all, there is a world of difference between the glazed eyes and bad decisions that fill pokies venues, and the sensible mainstream idea of insurance. Actually, insurance can be likened to gambling – but only in a very abstract sense. Today we explore the Ned Flanders approach to travel and travel insurance… and why for most of, his ar-diddly-arguments just don’t hold up!
The Ned Flanders Approach to Insurance
Actually, the school of thought that says that insurance is a form of gambling is much older than Ned Flanders (ultra-religious neighbour of The Simpsons). However, the pop culture reference to Ned’s belief is quite likely the first time that many of us in the West have encountered the concept. In the Simpsons episode from 1996, Hurricane Neddy, a Hurricane hits Springfield but destroys only the Flanders’ house. When Marge asks about insurance, Maude says that Ned didn’t believe in it – he considered it a form of gambling.
The rationale behind this is that when you take out home insurance, travel insurance, etc, you are effectively making a bet with the insurance company that a specific event will not occur (the destruction of your house, falling ill while you are overseas, etc). The insurance company is betting that it will not occur.
The Difference Between Insurance and Gambling
The idea that insurance is like gambling seems to be nothing more than an exercise in twisting logic, when you look at the purpose of insurance compared to the purpose of gambling. People buy insurance because:
They want to mitigate financial loss in the event that something (fairly unlikely) happens. In travel insurance, this would be the risk of getting sick or being injured, being the victim of crime, or having logistical difficulties that involve financial loss.
People gamble because:
They want to win a large amount of money without working for it (possibly the reason that religions often object to it).
What is an Aleatory Contract?
An aleatory contract is a more precise name for the form of agreement that travel insurance represents. Its definition is ‘a contract in which the performance of one or both parties is contingent on a particular event’. These contracts can mean a major ‘win’ for one party, and a loss for the other. With the current insurance environment though, the win and loss ratio is usually a lot more even that that seen in gambling.
So, what is the purpose of insurance?
Travel insurance, and insurance in general, provides a vital social service. If people had no option but to take on the risk of owning a house, owning a car, being liable for their own overseas medical expenses, etc, they might never do any of the above activities. Consider that while Australia has socialized health care, almost every other country in the world does not… and medical bills can run into the tens of thousands very quickly. Without the small expense of travel insurance, very few people would leave their home country. We would have a fraction of the understanding of other cultures, languages, and religions that make our world so rich today.
Rather than thinking of holiday insurance as gambling, it is much more useful to consider that you are ‘paying for peace of mind’. You are paying a small amount, to mitigate the enormous financial loss that could occur in the future. When you look at it this way, it is definitely worthwhile!

IRS Payroll Tax Audits Create Havoc on an Employer
Payroll Tax Audits are conducted on businesses that have or had employees and either failed to file and pay the payroll taxes on Form 941 Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Returns, misclassified workers as independent contractors when in fact they are employees or there is a mismatch between the W-3 Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statement, W-2 Wage & Income Statement and the Form 941 Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Returns.
When a payroll tax audit is selected to be audited, the case is assigned to the Employment Tax Examination Program and then it is assigned to one of the employment tax auditors.
An employment tax auditor will seek bank statements, payroll bank statements, copies of Form 941 Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Returns for a specific period, DE-9 Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages and any other form or document that they believe will assist them in determining if all the employee’s wages/salaries were accounted for on the tax returns filed.
For people who were incorrectly paid as independent contractors, laborers who in fact should have been reported as employees. Then, that is when the misclassification of employee audits steps into the investigation.
Internal Revenue Service and the State tax agencies have identifying factors for determining when a person should be an employee or independent contractor. File a Form SS-8 Determination of Workers Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax withholdings if you as an employer are not sure as to how to treat a worker.
Common Law Rules
Facts that provide evidence of the degree of control and independence fall into three categories:
1. Behavioral: Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does his or her job?
2. Financial: Are the business aspects of the worker’s job controlled by the payer? (these include things like how worker is paid, whether expenses are reimbursed, who provides tools/supplies, etc.)
3. Type of Relationship: Are there written contracts or employee type benefits (i.e. pension plan, insurance, vacation pay, etc.)? Will the relationship continue and is the work performed a key aspect of the business?
Mismatch between the Form 941 Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Returns, the W-2 Wage & Income Statement and W-3 Transmittal of Wage & Tax Statement can result in a computer audit.
Computer payroll audits are easily calculated from the tax return and statements filed by the employer. Letters, Notices, and results are issued to the employer. The audit result is usually recorded as due on the last quarter of the year in which the alleged mismatch was identified.
An employer is provided with a deadline to respond to the changes. Furthermore, you may have appeal rights. Always read all the notices, letters you receive. Many people do not open government issued letters and then they lament on the consequences for not complying with response time frames.
A payroll tax audit can lead to large tax bills that create financial havoc on employers. Large expenses that are paid to Accountants, Tax Debt Resolution Experts and Tax Attorneys to represent a company who has misclassified workers and now owe payroll taxes for the unreported wages/salaries paid to workers who should have been reported as employees in the first place.
A payroll tax debt can result in recording of tax liens, levies (garnishments) issued to accounts receivable, notes receivable, and bank accounts. Furthermore, if negotiations are not successful the tax agency will seize and sell your business to secure payment of the taxes overdue.
Do not attempt tax debt negotiations without seeking professional assistance. The IRS Collection Officers are required to follow certain regulations, tax processes and procedures prior to implementing their collection efforts. If you do not know what resolution option you can request and what the requirements are for resolution. Then, your company may be subject to financial havoc and potential closure.
Do not forget or shred notices and letters mailed to you by tax agencies or employees of these tax agencies. There are so many appeal rights, time frames that require a response by certain dates. If these time frames and dates are not complied with. Then, the IRS Auditor or Collector will have no option but to move forward with the next action that is required according to your case.
Liens filed against your company will affect your ability to borrow and will encumber any and all property that your company owns and possibly you as the owner, officer, member and or director of the entity that owes payroll taxes.
Yes, there is a potential individual liability for non payment of payroll taxes. Read Internal Revenue Code 6672. Basically, the IRS is required to calculate the amount of tax withholding, social security and Medicare taxes due. Then, letters are mailed or provided to the potential responsible people or entities who failed to report correctly and pay the taxes accordingly.
These letters provide for 60 day time frame to request an appeal prior to the tax agency being able to create a tax bill against the individuals or entities that failed to abide by the payroll tax rules and regulations.
Business owners, Directors, Officers and general public believe that because an entity is a Corporation, Partnership, Non-Profit or Limited Liability Company that this in itself protects them individually from being responsible for unpaid payroll taxes that the entity failed to forward to the government.
It is not wise to confront the IRS Auditor or Collector on your own. Even the best tax resolution experts encounter barriers to negotiate audits and debts. You just have to do your research and interview several tax professionals to verify which one will work in your best interest.

Should You Buy Bartley Residences?
Bartley Residences
If you are an investor with a keen eye for capital appreciation, allow me to present to you what I find to be the new launch with one of the greatest potential in year 2012, Bartley Residences.
Location of Bartley Residences
Blessed with a strategic location directly across Bartley MRT, Bartley Residences attracts not only potential home-buyers and investors, but also draws from a large tenant pool based on the nearby Paya Lebar Commercial Hub which is merely 3 MRT stations away. Investors looking to invest can take heart that demand for this project will be great judging from the large number of jobs and workplaces surrounding the project.
Closer scrutiny of the location will indicate that many plots of land surrounding the project are still undeveloped. This gives the project a first mover’s advantage. These plots of land once developed, will very likely be priced higher than Bartley Residences due to increasing land prices and construction costs. This gives the project a great chance for potential growth in capital appreciation in the next 4-5 years especially when it nears TOP.
Furthermore, the development of the upcoming Bidadari New Town near the project as well as further development in the Paya Lebar Commercial Hub provides investors and home-buyers a peace of mind, knowing that they are purchasing the project at an undervalued price.
Allure of Bartley Residences
Bartley Residences takes full advantage of its natural geographical advantage to present to its future owners and tenants a view to behold. Situated on a gradient slope, the project offers a rare cascading landscape throughout the entire project, breaking away from the norm of condos with level landscaping and establishing itself as THE iconic flagship project in Bartley.
With a land area of 237,822.1 sqft, the project naturally comes equipped with full condo facilities for its occupants to enjoy. The large land area provides residents to fully enjoy and immerse themselves in a relaxing upscale lifestyle where the breathtaking waterfall views and lush greenery spread throughout the project offer to soothe the senses and relieve the stresses of a hard day at work.
The architecture and design of this project also showcases timeless, modern and sleek outlines. The facade colour theme comprising of off-white and light brown displays elegance and strength, much like the conserved 120 year old Bodhi Tree (one of Singapore’s Heritage Trees). The factors combined will further cement Bartley Residences spot as the unmistakable landmark of Bartley.
Bartley Residences is jointly developed by renowned developers CDL Pte Ltd, Hong Leong Holdings Pte Ltd and TID Pte Ltd whom all possess excellent track records in Singapore. Investors can be assured of the quality finishes and attention to detail that these developers are well known for.

LumaPay™ lets patients pay bills from anywhere via text as the inaugural module of LumaFinancial, which provides better, simpler, and more transparent financial journeys
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Luma Health debuts LumaPay™, a new service for healthcare systems that provides patients a better and more transparent financial journey. LumaPay is the inaugural module of LumaFinancial, the financial product within Luma's Patient Success Platform™, and it enables patients to pay their bills right from text messages or their providers' websites.
LumaFinancial expands Luma's comprehensive Patient Success Platform, providing healthcare providers with a fully integrated portal that unifies the clinical, operational, access, and financial parts of a patient's journey—up to and after care.
"We believe that the relentless pursuit of patient engagement can detract from the ultimate goal: patient success. And patients' healthcare journeys are most successful when every part of the journey —including payment— is orchestrated and unified," said Jennifer Etter, Luma's head of product and design. "LumaPay reduces the friction in the payment process to make life easier for patients."
LumaFinancial will include additional modules in the future to connect payments, estimates, coverages, and more. LumaFinancial integrates with the electronic health record (EHR) to maintain a single source of truth for healthcare providers.
LumaPay enables healthcare organizations to offer patients an easy, text-first way to pay their bills – with no logins, sticky notes, or headaches. LumaPay complements other self-pay options a healthcare organization may already be offering, including payment through the patient portal, by providing another convenient way to pay to meet patients' different needs and preferences.
LumaPay automatically requests copays from patients with upcoming appointments via text message, and then collects the copay via text message links that integrate with the healthcare provider's payments system. At launch, LumaPay supports healthcare payment and revenue cycle management systems from eClinicalWorks and NextGen, with plans to include additional EHRs in the next phase of rollout.
Luma was founded on the idea that healthcare should work better for all patients. Instead of a disconnected experience, where patients are forced to be their own healthcare advocates and provider teams struggle to reach their patients, every point along the care journey should be simple, seamless, and effective. Luma's Patient Success Platform™ empowers patients and providers to be successful by connecting and orchestrating all the steps in the patient journey, along with all the operational workflows and processes in the healthcare ecosystem.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Luma serves more than 600 health systems, integrated delivery networks, federally qualified health centers, specialty networks, and clinics across the United States, and today orchestrates the care journeys of more than 35 million patients. Additional information about the company is available at the Luma website, the Luma blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.

Rapid home price growth in cities nationwide continued to break records at the start of the year, but economists expect the market could change its tune in the months ahead.
Home prices in Dallas-Fort Worth rose a record 30.7% year over year in March while national prices grew 20.6%, according to the latest report from the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index.
"Demand for homes has stubbornly kept ahead of supply this spring, even in the face of rapidly rising costs," said Dan Handy, an economic data analyst for Zillow. "This imbalance between supply and demand for homes this spring has been the key driver in home price growth that continues to set records month after month."
Of the metro areas included on the index, only Miami, Phoenix and Tampa, Fla., saw sharper price hikes. For the first time in nearly three years, Phoenix did not see the most rapid price growth, with Tampa leading at 34.8%.
The index compares sales price changes of specific properties over time. Case-Shiller's price estimate is considered more accurate than home sales data from real estate agents, which can be influenced by the type of properties that are selling each month.
The Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, which uses data from agents' multiple listings service, reported that the median home in Dallas-Fort Worth sold for $425,576 in April, up 25% from a year prior.
Selma Hepp, CoreLogic's deputy chief economist, said the first quarter saw "some of the most competitive housing market conditions since the onset of the pandemic" as buyers rushed in ahead of the surge in mortgage rates that dramatically affected monthly payments.
Economists predict the rapid price growth could finally begin to slow in the coming months as buyer demand is softened by affordability challenges.
"Mortgage costs are more than 50% higher than they were a year ago, and prospective buyers will likely start to rethink what they can afford," Handy said. "Sellers may already be responding, with the rate of price cuts now on the rise, to meet buyers where they are. Price growth will likely begin to come back towards earth as many buyers are priced out and inventory rises."
Dallas-Fort Worth home showings were down 9% year over year in April and 11% since March, according to ShowingTime.
"Mortgages are becoming more expensive as the Federal Reserve has begun to ratchet up interest rates, suggesting that the macroeconomic environment may not support extraordinary home price growth for much longer," Craig Lazzara, managing director of S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement. "Although one can safely predict that price gains will begin to decelerate, the timing of the deceleration is a more difficult call." | https://www.salemnews.com/news/is-this-the-end-of-record-home-price-growth/article_0e411400-e2e4-11ec-b630-7ffe59e2408b.html | 2022-06-06T08:16:41Z | https://www.salemnews.com/news/is-this-the-end-of-record-home-price-growth/article_0e411400-e2e4-11ec-b630-7ffe59e2408b.html | true | 3 |

NEW YORK (AP) — As a knot of journalists stood across from a mortuary witnessing a funeral for a child killed in the Uvalde school massacre, some people passing by didn't disguise their anger.
“Y'all are the scum of the Earth,” said one woman, surveying the cameras.
When tragedy comes to town in the 21st century, the media follows, focusing the world's eyes on a community during its most difficult hours. Columbine, Sandy Hook, now Uvalde, Texas — the list of places synonymous with horrible mass killings keeps growing.
Journalists are called upon to explain what happened, and sometimes to ask uncomfortable questions in places where many people want to be left alone to grieve. Is it possible to do it better, to co-exist within a moment no one wants to be part of?
Tempers have flared in Uvalde. One female journalist was told, “I hope your entire family dies in a massacre.” Some are threatened with arrest for trespassing while on public property. A group called “Guardians of the Children” blocked camera views, often with the encouragement of police.
Yet there are also people like Ben Gonzalez, who approached reporters near the mortuary after hearing the woman lash out to say that she doesn't speak for everyone. “Thank you for documenting this tragedy,” he said. “We'll look back at the photos you take and appreciate it.”
The shady courthouse square in Uvalde has been dotted by canopies erected by TV news crews. Journalists have been stationed at Robb Elementary School, where the shooting took place, near a makeshift memorial piled with flowers, stuffed animals and messages. At the local Starbucks, where many journalists go to work, tables are set aside for Uvalde residents.
These are the typical signs of the invasion of journalists that accompanies such events.
“I respect the wishes of people if they want me to leave,” said Guillermo Contreras, a senior writer at the San Antonio Express-News. “By the second day (after the shooting), the people were overwhelmed. The town has been overrun by reporters. There was pretty much nowhere you could go without running into the media.”
Like most colleagues, Contreras tries to be sensitive to what Uvalde's people are enduring. He has a 10-year-old daughter at home.
“When you are at the epicenter of a situation like that, you really do need protection,” said Michele Gay, who lost her daughter Josephine in the Newtown school shooting a decade ago. “You are really not in a state of mind to be offering your feelings in front of the camera.”
Gay said she had no idea at the extent of attention given to the story until the state trooper assigned to protect her family drove them around town to see the memorials.
“At first, I was angry,” said Gay, co-founder and executive director of Safe and Sound Schools, an advocacy group. “It felt invasive. It felt hurtful ... At the same time, there were members of the media who were so thoughtful, caring and compassionate.”
The sensitivity that most journalists try to bring to such assignments can be undermined by those who stick cameras in the faces of people crying, or ask a grieving parent how it feels. One parent who lost a child in Newtown saw someone outside her home with a camera peering into a window, said Monsignor Robert Weiss of the town's St. Rose of Lima Parish.
In general, journalists do a poor job explaining what they do and a poor job putting themselves in the shoes of the people they are interviewing, many on the worst day of their lives, said Joy Mayer, a former journalism professor.
“It's really valid for people in that community to feel overwhelmed and resentful,” said Mayer, the director of Trusting News, which helps members of the media improve their relationship with the public.
Kelly McBride, an expert on journalism ethics at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, advises news organizations to better prepare when assigned to these stories. Most interviews on the street indicate this work hasn't been done; people in shock and trauma, she said, shouldn't have to make an on-the-spot decision about dealing with a reporter.
She praised CNN for sensitively handling the interview of a young survivor of the shooting who smeared herself in the blood of a dead classmate to appear dead. CNN reported on what the girl said, but didn't show her or play her voice.
Ana Rodriguez, who lost her daughter Maite in the shooting, sat at her dining room table to tell The Associated Press about how the girl aspired to become a marine biologist. She didn’t want her face to appear on camera to divert attention from her daughter.
Sometimes there's little time to prepare. Tony Dokoupil of CBS News was told to get on a plane to Texas. Fast. Dokoupil said he tried to get away from the pack and knock on doors; in one case, he came upon someone close to a child who died who helped arrange an interview with her parents.
He found residents polite and respectful even when they didn't want to talk. He was thanked by some people for being there and telling the stories.
Gay recommends journalists focus their attention on people who have lost their lives, not perpetrators. There has been a marked effort on the part of news organizations to minimize mentions of shooters, although Gay was concerned that she had seen more after Uvalde.
In Uvalde, questions raised about the police response to the shooting have lengthened the time the shooting has lingered in the news and increased hostility toward journalists. CNN used a tag team to stake out Pete Arredondo, the schools police chief who directed operations, and get an ambush interview.
“You have people who are supportive of law enforcement,” Contreras said. “It’s a small town; people know each other. All of a sudden people are pointing fingers at the officers you know, so there’s a division.”
For people in communities like Newtown and Uvalde in the immediate aftermath of these stories, the sheer repetitiveness is often wearing.
“If there’s been one interview out here there’s been 150,” said one downtown shopkeeper who, like many in Uvalde, didn’t want his name in a news story. “I mean, how many times can you interview people who don’t know nothing?”
There are some suggestions of what is known in the industry as a pool — where a handful of reporters ask questions of officials and report answers to a larger group. This is used most famously at the White House.
But McBride said this inevitably leads to less aggressive journalism. Most reporters are driven by the impulse to get things their competitors don't. It was tried in a few instances in Uvalde and proved unsatisfying, Contreras said.
Things grew quieter in Uvalde by this past weekend. Only a television satellite truck remained at the Robb school, and just a handful of journalists were at the courthouse square Saturday as a Hawaiian group presented a giant lei and sang songs.
There's no avoiding the shock an influx of journalists brings to a quiet community. Weiss recalls being swarmed by reporters after emerging from a meeting with parents. He didn't know what to say. But in general, the Catholic monsignor said he found the press respectful and has come to understand the importance of its role.
“We needed to get the story out there and we needed to keep this story out there,” Weiss said. “Because in 10 years, what has changed? If anything, it has gotten worse.”

Touching moment ref consoles Oleksandr Zinchenko after Wales snatch World Cup spot as Gareth Bale applauds Ukraine fans
WALES star Gareth Bale and referee Mateu Lahoz showed real class as they consoled Ukrainian players and fans at full-time.
The Dragons punched their ticket to their first World Cup finals since 1958 after beating Ukraine 1-0 in Cardiff.
And it was star man Bale that helped seal the big win as Andriy Yarmolenko inadvertently headed the forward's free-kick into his own net on 34 minutes.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Co were determined to give their nation some rare joy amid the ongoing war in their homeland.
Ukraine have been trying to fight off Russia's unjust and illegal invasion since February 24, which has led to around 46,000 deaths, and the visitors wanted to boost morale with World Cup qualification.
But it wasn't to be and Oleksandr Petrakov's men couldn't hold back their emotions.
Referee Lahoz was pictured consoling Zinchenko after his team's brave performance, despite months of inactivity, in a rare gesture.
Departing Real Madrid star Bale also applauded visiting fans in an absolutely classy gesture.
The World Cup play-off final date had to be moved to June after Russia's invasion, which led to Ukraine's semi-final with Scotland being postponed from March.
Bale said: "It's the greatest result, we're going to a World Cup.

Kent Road in Glasgow city centre flooded dramatically after light rain in the city.
The incident was recorded last week after one pedestrian shared his woes as he struggled to cross the street.
He explained: "It's kind of crazy how flooded Glasgow gets after just a bit of rain.

"It makes it horrible to walk as you have to jump everywhere to avoid getting your feet drenched."
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “We are investigating the circumstances that led to this flooding incident and we will take appropriate action as necessary.
“We have a rolling programme of gully clearing of all the drains around the city with a focus on arterial routes, known flooding locations and gullies that are known to fill-up quickly.
“Depending on the circumstances known flooding locations will be cleared three times a year with gullies on arterial routes and in the city centre cleared at least once a year.
“Neighbourhood areas will have gullies cleared once every two years but we do respond to localised issues where ever possible.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word.

In Taiwan, Watsons has worked with Maybelline to set up recycling bins in stores. For every empty bottle that is recycled, Maybelline will make donation to Re-Think to run sustainability education programmes. Meanwhile in Thailand, Watsons' customers can recycle their PET plastic bottles at the Garnier Refund Machine in selected stores and earn a free Garnier Pink Micellar Water; while in Indonesia, Watsons has launched a recycling programme with Garnier to encourage customers to recycle plastic bottles at Watsons stores.
To further widen its sustainability impact, the regionwide recycling programme has now been extended to the fourth market, Hong Kong. To accelerate its sustainability endeavors, Watsons Hong Kong has partnered with L'Oréal to roll out the 'Beauty for the Future' recycling campaign. From now on, customers can recycle the cleaned containers of any beauty brand, including foundation bottles, mascara wands, skincare tubs, and lipstick tubes at around 170 Watsons stores across the city in exchange for rewards in the city's largest loyalty platform MoneyBack.
"Pre-loved beauty packages have their place, but that place is not in landfills. Our goal is to meet it head-on with the first cross-brand recycling programme involving 18 of our beauty brands in 2021. Today, we are thrilled to work with partners along the value chain to expand the programme and positively impact people's lives while preserving the planet," said Eva Yu, President & Managing Director of L'Oréal Hong Kong.

NEW DELHI – India is facing major diplomatic outrage from Muslim countries after top officials in the ruling Hindu nationalist party made derogatory references to Islam and the Prophet, drawing accusations of blasphemy across some Arab nations that have left New Delhi struggling to contain the damaging fallout.
At least five Arab nations have lodged official protests against India, and Pakistan and Afghanistan also reacted strongly Monday to the comments made by two prominent spokespeople from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. Anger has poured out on social media, and calls for a boycott of Indian goods have surfaced in some Arab nations.
The controversial remarks follow increasing violence targeting India’s Muslim minority carried out by Hindu nationalists who have been emboldened by Modi's regular silence about such attacks since he was first elected in 2014.
Over the years, Indian Muslims have been often targeted for everything from their food and clothing style to inter-religious marriages. Watchdog groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have warned that attacks could escalate.
Rights groups have also accused Modi’s ruling party of looking the other way and sometimes enabling hate speech against Muslims, who are 14% of India’s 1.4 billion people but still numerous enough to be the second-largest Muslim population of any nation.
Modi's party denies the accusations, but India's Muslims say attacks against them and their faith have become relentless.
The anger has been growing since last week after the two spokespeople, Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, made speculative remarks that were seen as insulting Islam’s Prophet Mohammed and his wife Aisha.
Modi’s party took no action against them until Sunday when a sudden chorus of diplomatic outrage began with Qatar and Kuwait summoning their Indian ambassadors to protest. The BJP suspended Sharma and expelled Jindal and issued a rare statement saying it “strongly denounces insult of any religious personalities," a move that was welcomed by Qatar and Kuwait.
Later, Saudi Arabia and Iran also lodged complaints with India, and the Jeddha-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or the OIC, said the remarks came in a “context of intensifying hatred and abuse toward Islam in India and systematic practices against Muslims.”
New Delhi has made no comment so far over protests lodged by Muslim nations, but India’s Foreign Ministry on Monday rejected comments by the OIC as “unwarranted” and “narrow-minded." On Sunday, India's embassies in Qatar and Doha released a statement saying the views expressed against the Prophet and Islam were not that of the Indian government but made by “fringe elements.” Both statements said that strong action has already been taken against those who made the derogatory remarks.
The criticism from Muslim countries, however, was severe, indicating that insulting Prophet Mohammad was a red line.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it expected a “public apology” from the Indian government and Kuwait warned that if the comments go unpunished, India would see “an increase of extremism and hatred." The Grand Mufti of the sultanate of Oman described the “obscene rudeness” of Modi’s party toward Islam as a form of “war.” And Riyadh said the comments were “insulting” and called for “respect for beliefs and religions.”
The remarks made by Sharma during a TV program in India and Jindal in a tweet risk damaging India’s ties with Arab nations.
India maintains strong relations with the wealthy sheikhdoms of Qatar and Kuwait, which rely on millions of migrant workers from India and elsewhere in South Asia to serve their tiny local populations and drive the machinery of daily life. India also depends on oil-rich Gulf Arab states to power its energy-thirsty economy.
The remarks also led to anger in India's archrival and neighbor Pakistan and in Afghanistan.
On Monday, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry summoned an Indian diplomat and conveyed Islamabad’s “strong condemnation," a day after Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the comments were “hurtful” and “India under Modi is trampling religious freedoms & persecuting Muslims.” The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said the Indian government should not allow “such fanatics to insult ...Islam and provoke the feelings of Muslims.”
Anti-Muslim sentiments and attacks have risen across India under Modi. Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said India was seeing “rising attacks on people and places of worship,” eliciting a response from New Delhi which called the comments “ill-informed.”
More recently, religious tensions have escalated after some Hindu groups went to a local court in northern Varanasi city to seek permission to pray at a 17th century mosque, claiming that it was built by demolishing a temple. Critics say these tensions have been further exacerbated by India’s TV channel anchors during raucous debates.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — An Australian court on Monday ordered Google to pay a former politician 715,000 Australian dollars ($515,000) over two defamatory YouTube videos.
John Barilaro, the former New South Wales state deputy premier, had sued Google and comedian Jordan Shanks, also known as friendlyjordies, in the Federal Court over the videos.
Justice Steven Rares found Barilaro had been the “subject of a relentless, racist, abusive and defamatory campaign conducted on YouTube,” a platform owned by Google.
Barilaro told reporters outside the Sydney court that he felt “vindicated” by the judgment.
“I am emotional today. To hear His Justice read out the reasoning and the evidence and the case itself again is a little bit traumatizing,” Barilaro said.
“But I’m happy it’s the end of the journey. You’ve got to be either courageous or stupid to take on Google, and maybe it was a bit of both,” Barilaro added.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
His lawyer Paul Svilans said it was the only case he was aware of where Google was sued for defamation through its YouTube operation.
Barilaro would not have sued if Google had taken down the videos, uploaded in September and October in 2020, as requested by letter in December of that year, he said.
“Once they get our letter and we say it is defamatory, it is racist, you should take it down and they don’t take it down, then they’re on the hook just like any other publisher,” Svilans said.
“They are a trillion dollar company that facilitated the publication of horribly racist material about John,” Svilans said.
The videos had been viewed tens of thousands of times and earned Google thousands of dollars, the judge said.
Google eventually abandoned all of its defenses against Barilaro’s suit. A four-day hearing in March only focused on the amount of damages that Google would pay. Legal costs will be awarded at a later date.
Barilaro’s case against Shanks was settled in November last year when the comedian and political commentator issued an apology, agreed to pay AU$100,000 ($72,000) and edited the videos.
Shanks’ campaign had been cited as a reason for Barilaro’s decision to retire from politics last year.
Rares, the judge, said Google repeatedly failed to take responsibility for its conduct as a publisher.
Google is fighting in Australia’s highest court a Victoria state court decision that its search engine had defamed Melbourne underworld lawyer George Defteros.
Defteros successfully sued Google for AU$40,000 ($28,800) in 2020 because the search engine directed traffic to a 2004 article published in The Age newspaper that reported he had been charged with conspiracy and incitement to murder gangland figures.
The charges were dropped in 2005. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Australian-court-makes-Google-pay-515-000-for-17221748.php | 2022-06-06T08:38:18Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Australian-court-makes-Google-pay-515-000-for-17221748.php | true | 31 |

Chelsea chief sets tongues wagging over Ousmane Dembele with Twitter activity
CHELSEA appear keen on acquiring Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele this summer.
Chelsea takeover finally complete as Todd Boehly era begins
Chelsea chief Daniel Finkelstein has fuelled speculation that Ousmane Dembele could well be on his way to Stamford Bridge this summer after liking a fan's tweet. The Conservative peer, who recently joined Todd Boehly's takeover project at the west London club, appeared to hint that the soon-to-be out-of-contract Barcelona winger is being eyed by the Blues after some interesting social media activity.
While American billionaire Boehly will oversee the day-to-day running at the club, Finkelstein has joined as a non-executive member, and it already appears he's keen to set change in motion at the Bridge. The Chelsea chief liked a tweet in which one Blues fan tagged and begged him to encourage the club to sign the French forward. The liked post read: "Please tell him to kindly sign Ousmane Dembele."
The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to west London this summer, when he will become a free agent. Dembele has decided against renewing his deal with Barcelona and the cash-strapped Catalan club are now set to lose the winger for nothing, five years after shelling out a staggering £135million to Borussia Dortmund for his services.
Dembele rose to prominence under Thomas Tuchel's guidance at Dortmund and it appears a reunion is growing increasingly likely. TalkSPORT insist the Blues are now favourites to land the World Cup winner when his contract expires this month, amid suggestions a deal has "taken off" in recent days.
JUST IN: Tuchel can solve Chelsea issue by amending Dortmund transfer regret
Reporter Alex Crook revealed: “This one has really taken off overnight. Chelsea look like they are favourites to sign Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer. He’s been letting his contract run down at Barcelona and he would be the first signing of the Todd Boehly era."
After failing to agree fresh terms with the attacker, Barcelona sought to offload Dembele back in January, however, the French forward refused to budge. The former Dortmund star was then told he would be banished to the stands for the remainder of the Spanish side's season, however Barcelona managed Xavi swiftly reinstalled Dembele to his setup.
Despite this, the Frenchman has continued to refrain from committing his future to the Nou Camp club and appears destined to depart this summer. The winger's ties to Tuchel have seen Chelsea emerge as the frontrunners in a transfer race which is also believed to include Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Manchester United.
With Boehly having succeeded Roman Abramovich at the club's helm, the UK Government's imposed sanctions on Chelsea have now been lifted, enabling the Blues to conduct business as usual once again. Tuchel is understood to be keen on freshening up his attack as part of a squad rebuild this summer, and it appears he isn't the only one eyeing up Dembele if Finkelstein's social media activity is anything to go by. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1621214/Chelsea-chief-Dembele-transfer-Premier-League-SNT | 2022-06-06T08:39:42Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1621214/Chelsea-chief-Dembele-transfer-Premier-League-SNT | true | 1 |

MANILA, Philippines – Indian legend Viswanathan Anand stunned world champion Magnus Carlsen, while Shakhriyar Mamedyarov handed Wesley So his first loss on Sunday, June 5 (Monday, June 6, Manila time), in the 10th Norway Chess Tournament in Stavanger.
Anand, the 52-year-old five-time world champion, tamed Carlsen in the Armageddon decider, while Mamedyarov did the same to So, shaking the fifth round standings of the 10-man single round-robin event.
As a result, Anand regained the solo lead with 10 points, half a point ahead of the Norwegian icon. Mamedyarov, meanwhile, caught up with So at 8.5 points.
Anand and Carlsen drew their classical game and so did Mamedyarov and So, requiring the Armageddon tiebreaker.
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave also disposed of former world champion Veselin Topalov in another Armageddon to rise to 7 points with Anish Giri.
Aryan Tari and Giri gained ground with outright victories over Wang Hao and Teimour Radjabov, respectively.
Rated the lowest among the entries with his Elo 2663, Tari toppled Wang, who returned to competitive play after a two-year layoff due to health reasons.
Tari was alone at 6 points, towing Topalov (4.5) and Radjabov and Wang (3).
The Filipino-born So, now the reigning back-to-back United States champion, will try to bounce back when he handles white against Tari in the sixth round.
Other matches pit Carlsen against Mamedyarov, Giri against Anand, Wang against Vachier-Lagrave, and Radjabov against Topalov. – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/sports/wesley-so-results-norway-chess-tournament-june-5-2022/ | 2022-06-06T08:42:08Z | https://www.rappler.com/sports/wesley-so-results-norway-chess-tournament-june-5-2022/ | true | 1 |

Beijing Accuses Canada Of Provocations Under Pretext Of UNSC Resolutions Implementation
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published June 06, 2022 | 12:20 PM
BEIJING (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 06th June, 2022) The Canadian air forces have stepped up intelligence activities and provocations against China under pretext of implementing UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea, Chinese defense ministry spokesman Wu Qian said on Monday.
Last week, the Canadian armed forces accused Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force pilots of unprofessional and security-threatening behavior during recent encounters with the Canadian air forces in international airspace. The incidents occurred during the Canadian air forces' NEON mission to monitor possible violations of UN sanctions against North Korea.
"Recently, the Canadian air forces aircraft have stepped up intelligence activities and provocations against China under the pretext of implementing UNSC resolutions, which poses a threat to China's national security and also endangers the personnel of both sides, the Chinese side strongly opposes this," the spokesman said, as quoted by the ministry.
China urges Canada to refrain from provocations in international airspace, otherwise Ottawa will be responsible for the consequences, the official added.

NEW DELHI – India is facing major diplomatic outrage from Muslim countries after top officials in the governing Hindu nationalist party made derogatory references to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, drawing accusations of blasphemy across some Arab nations that have left New Delhi struggling to contain the damaging fallout.
At least five Arab nations have lodged official protests against India, and Pakistan and Afghanistan also reacted strongly Monday to the comments made by two prominent spokespeople from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. Anger has poured out on social media, and calls for a boycott of Indian goods have surfaced in some Arab nations.
The controversial remarks follow increasing violence targeting India’s Muslim minority carried out by Hindu nationalists who have been emboldened by Modi's regular silence about such attacks since he was first elected in 2014.
Over the years, Indian Muslims have often been targeted for everything from their food and clothing style to inter-religious marriages. Rights groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have warned that attacks could escalate. They have also accused Modi’s governing party of looking the other way and sometimes enabling hate speech against Muslims, who comprise 14% of India’s 1.4 billion people but are still numerous enough to be the second-largest Muslim population of any nation.
Modi's party denies the accusations, but India's Muslims say attacks against them and their faith have increased sharply.
The anger has been growing since last week after the two spokespeople, Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, made speculative remarks that were seen as insulting Islam’s Prophet Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisha.
Modi’s party took no action against them until Sunday, when a sudden chorus of diplomatic outrage began with Qatar and Kuwait summoning their Indian ambassadors to protest. The BJP suspended Sharma and expelled Jindal and issued a rare statement saying it “strongly denounces insult of any religious personalities," a move that was welcomed by Qatar and Kuwait.
Later, Saudi Arabia and Iran also lodged complaints with India, and the Jeddha-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation said the remarks came in a “context of intensifying hatred and abuse toward Islam in India and systematic practices against Muslims.”
New Delhi has made no comment so far over the protests lodged by Arab nations, but the Foreign Ministry on Monday rejected the comments by the OIC as “unwarranted” and “narrow-minded." On Sunday, India's embassies in Qatar and Doha released a statement saying the views expressed against the Prophet Muhammad and Islam were not those of the Indian government and were made by “fringe elements.” Both statements said that strong action had already been taken against those who made the derogatory remarks.
The criticism from Muslim countries, however, was severe, indicating that insulting Prophet Muhammad was a red line.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it expected a public apology from the Indian government, and Kuwait warned that if the comments go unpunished, India would see “an increase of extremism and hatred." The Grand Mufti of Oman described the “obscene rudeness” of Modi’s party toward Islam as a form of “war.” And Riyadh said the comments were insulting and called for “respect for beliefs and religions.”
The remarks made by Sharma during a TV program in India and Jindal in a tweet risk damaging India’s ties with Arab nations.
India maintains strong relations with the wealthy sheikhdoms of Qatar and Kuwait, which rely on millions of migrant workers from India and elsewhere in South Asia to serve their tiny local populations and drive the machinery of daily life. India also depends on oil-rich Gulf Arab states to power its energy-thirsty economy.
The remarks also led to anger in India's archrival and neighbor, Pakistan, and in Afghanistan.
On Monday, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry summoned an Indian diplomat and conveyed Islamabad’s “strong condemnation," a day after Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the comments were “hurtful” and “India under Modi is trampling religious freedoms & persecuting Muslims.” India’s Foreign Ministry responded by calling Pakistan “a serial violator of minority rights” and said it should not engage “in alarmist propaganda and attempting to foment communal disharmony in India.”
“India accords the highest respect to all religions," ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
Criticism also came from Kabul. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said the Indian government should not allow “such fanatics to insult ... Islam and provoke the feelings of Muslims.”
Anti-Muslim sentiments and attacks have risen across India under Modi. Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said India was seeing “rising attacks on people and places of worship,” eliciting a response from New Delhi, which called the comments “ill-informed.”
More recently, religious tensions have escalated after some Hindu groups went to a local court in northern Varanasi city to seek permission to pray at a 17th century mosque, claiming that it was built by demolishing a temple. Critics say these tensions have been further exacerbated by Indian television anchors during raucous debates.

Gainesville community wears orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence
It was a sunny Saturday with blistering summer heat but that didn't stop a crowd of 30 people dressed in orange from coming together at the Porters Quarter Community Center to honor the victims and survivors of gun violence.
Faye Williams, a local community activist, instructed everyone who came to the "We Wear Orange: Stand Up and Speak Out" event to put their hands together and place them on their chests.
"And now I want you all to breathe in and breathe out," Williams said.
Gun violence in schools:Alachua County graduations will get extra security this week
Gainesville crime uptick:GPD data shows violent crime was up 14% in 2021
Shooting:Alachua saw first fatal shooting of 2022 less than a day into the new year
Everyone in attendance took a deep breath, preparing themselves to hear the devastating and heartbreaking stories of people who have lost a loved one due to gun violence.
For three days, Gainesville and city of Alachua residents were draped in orange as part of the We Wear Orange weekend to raise awareness for gun violence.
The gathering at Porters Community Center on Southwest Third Street was hosted by the Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in Alachua County and Music Arts Movement Action (M.A.M.A's Club).
Marnie Wiss, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action and one of the event organizers, looked around at everyone who showed up to hear the stories of the survivors of gun violence.
"It gives me a little hope," Wiss said. "It's also the fact that so many of people here are survivors reminds me of why we do the work we do. It gets really disheartening and really exhausting and I have to say that I want it to stop."
Stephanie Scott, a Gainesville resident and mom, was one of the survivors at the event. Scott lost her son Christopher Scott, 13, who was among five people shot and killed at a teen party on June 24, 2021, at the American Legion located at 4701 NW Sixth St. Four others were injured in the shooting.
Scott said telling the story of her son helps her heal.
"He was my protector even though he was young. He was my best friend, he was my go-to guy," Scott said.
Robin Lillie is another Gainesville resident who lost a son to gun violence.
Lillie said she lost her son Tyler Pearson, 29, in 2019. After her son's death she got involved with Moms Demand Action to share her son's story.
"It's hard and the grieving process is not easy," Lillie said. "One day you're up and a lot of days you're down, so talking about it for me is therapeutic."
Other survivors included Kenneth Johnson, founder of the Gladiator Foundation, who lost his brother in downtown Gainesville in 2002. Regina Livingston, founder of the Unspoken Treasure Society, spoke about how she lost her niece. And Susan Browder, a senior Survivor Fellow with Everytown Survivor Network, spoke about how she lost her daughter to gun violence.
Moms Demand Action states that 2021 was one of the deadliest years for gun violence in the United States. According to theGun Archive — a nonprofit that provides information on gun violence — last year there were 45,013 deaths due to gun violence in the United States and 20,923 of those deaths were homicides.
"Ive been doing this for so long and I know how many solutions there are to this that aren't so hard to take," Wiss said. "And I am so angry that there are people cynical enough or greedy enough, or power hungry enough to look away from those solutions."
We Wear Orange
We Wear Orange weekend is a national movement in honor of Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed at age 15 in Chicago in 2013. Her friends wore her favorite color orange to honor her.
On Friday, in recognition of gun violence survivors and in a demonstration of community solidarity, residents gathered for the lighting of the fountain in Gainesville's Depot Park.
And on Saturday, Moms Demand Action hosted a We Wear Orange event in the city of Alachua. Sunday the Florida Chapter of Moms Demand Action hosted a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) virtual summit. | https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/2022/06/05/gainesville-community-wears-orange-honor-victims-gun-violence/7485445001/ | 2022-06-06T09:08:57Z | https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/2022/06/05/gainesville-community-wears-orange-honor-victims-gun-violence/7485445001/ | false | 2 |
The flip side of higher education online: it's neither economical nor effective
Over-regulated but under-governed, higher education in the country is poised for a slide in quality following unbridled enthusiasm for online education. There is really no substitute to the classroom
Correspondence courses, distance learning and remote teaching may be traced back to the late 18th century when individuals and institutions in the UK and Europe started offering skill enhancement courses through correspondence. Such courses often came as a great relief to women who wanted to better themselves educationally but couldn’t as they were bunkered down with domestic duties and household compulsions.
Advancements in information communication technology ushered in newer ways of delivering education remotely. Radio broadcasts and TV classrooms were also tried out on a commercial basis. They however neither proved to be effective nor commercially viable.
Covid-19 compelled closure of schools, colleges, and universities and forced them to resort to remote teaching; classes went virtual, lectures were delivered online and campuses were deserted. Social media came as a handy tool for interaction between the students and teachers.
The Covid-19 experience has strengthened the belief that digital technologies are the future mediums of offering education. Technology enthusiasts are busy writing obituaries of brick-and-mortar universities. They spread of internet and network connectivity, they argue, would metamorphose the mode of delivering knowledge.
Technology enthusiasts are busy promoting EdTech start-ups in the hope that students would not want to suffer physical campuses once they have experienced the comfort, convenience and freedom of online learning. But there are others who are sceptical.
The central government has announced the establishment of a digital university which would have academic, professional, and technical higher education programmes across a broad spectrum of disciplines with no limits on their intake capacity. While many believe digital learning would be a game-changer, there is no dearth of people who seriously suspect the efficacy, effectiveness, and usefulness of such initiatives.
A good number of people feel that the digital delivery of higher education is inevitable, the need of the hour and a game-changer with transformative potential. These very people, however, also point out that tighter regulation, stricter standards, and an effective quality assurance mechanism would be necessary to ensure that students do not end up getting a low grade, poor quality higher education. Many of them feel that a national level exit examination needs to be conducted for all students graduating through online/virtual/digital mode to ensure uniformity of standards of the outcome.
Those representing EdTechs and technology companies have wholeheartedly lent their weight to the idea, almost unconditionally. To them, it is an idea whose time has come. They are vociferously advancing the argument that ‘whatever education can be delivered digitally, must be delivered digitally’.
Open, distance, digital, online, and virtual modes of delivering higher education are assumed to be economical and cost-effective. In reality though, the quality online programmes are expensive and requires massive investment in developing the needed infrastructure, content development and delivery.
Digital divide and skewed access to data, device and network connectivity further restrict access to those who need such higher education the most. While digital penetration in India appears promising with 749 million users, a large number of users may not necessarily be digitally literate, a prerequisite for digital learning. Further, going by an Oxfam India study, even in the urban areas, half the parents complained about internet speed and signal strength while a third were finding it difficult to afford the cost of the Internet.
Digital delivery of higher education is also held out as a panacea for solving seat and capacity constraints. In reality, India has the distinction of having the single largest system of higher education found anywhere in the world. The country has created excess capacity in most disciplines.
The real problem lies in the dearth of quality institutions and programmes. Unless we invest in improving the overall quality of higher education across the country, the problem of seats will not get addressed. Will the digital university and digital delivery of higher education meet this need for quality? But most digitally delivered programmes are of low grade and fall in bottom of the pyramid category.
Online education could prove useful and up-skilling courses offered by platforms like Udemy, Coursera, edX, Udacity etc. may well receive positive responses. They may also offer an effective alternative to various kinds of coaching to crack competitive examinations for admissions and jobs. They could also prove to be a boon to working people and those who cannot spare time for full-time learning.
Digital delivery however requires quality content. We would end up being consumers of knowledge if we choose to borrow or buy content from elsewhere. We must, therefore, develop our own content, which would be possible only if we have adequate number of qualified teachers. Content development requiring altogether different skills than teaching, they will have to be trained on a large scale to become quality content creators. In the process, the system would get saddled with a huge mound of poor-quality content which would be of little use.
Providing world-class study material may not be the biggest challenge for the government. Everything available on the Internet can be accessed by people from anywhere as long as they have access. If borrowing materials from top-notch universities could solve the problem, by now everyone would have been able to access world-class higher education.
Quality, however, needs closer classroom interactions, discussions, question and answers sessions, debates, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and the overall ecosystem. They all contribute to the holistic development of the student, which is not possible through online mode of education.
Finally, regulation of higher education in India has been notoriously ineffective. The National Knowledge Commission said in 2007 that higher education in India was over-regulated but under governed. The National Education Policy 2020 strongly argues for a light but tight regulation in higher education.
Unable to reform the regulatory framework so far, the gate-keeping continues to be as ineffective. It is, thus, feared that the digital space in higher education would get filled with unworthy and low-quality educational institutions. How long will competition-led market correction take to weed out low-grade poor-quality programmes, as expected, and at what cost remains one of the unanswered questions.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena visited the DDA’s Yamuna Biodiversity Park on the occasion of World Environment Day on Sunday and interacted with students of Delhi University.
Saxena walked along the trail passing through various functional eco systems created and nurtured in the park and took keen interest in the existing flora and fauna, a statement said. He also visited the medicinal garden, herbal park, butterfly park and the wet lands and water bodies developed in the park.
While appreciating the dedicated efforts of the scientists, officers and their team for having relivened the heritage of Yamuna river, he stressed that the time had come to take the Yamuna Bio Diversity Park, as indeed the other parks being developed in Delhi to the next level by innovating, upscaling and reinventing. He suggested that the park should undertake plantation of Sandalwood and Moringa trees apart from Bamboo. This he said, will not only increase the Oxygenating capacity of the park but will also add to its financial viability, making it sustainable in the long run.
“Visited the Yamuna Bio Diversity Park and celebrated #WorldEnvironmentDay with students of Delhi University. Exhorted the young minds to own up their city and participate as equal stakeholders in the efforts to clean Delhi and rejuvenate its ecology and environment,” Saxena said in a tweet. The LG also stressed upon the need to explore the possibility of using the water conserved and recharged by the parks for augmenting the city supply with the aim of making Delhi self sufficient, the statement added. He also visited a Sewage Treatment Plant in Nehru Park in Chanakyapuri and a Rain Water Harvesting site in the NDMC area.
Earlier in the day, he said there should be concern about waste and sewer management, e-waste and water conservation. “On #WorldEnvironmentDay, let us join hands to preserve and protect Mother Earth! Let us pledge to make Delhi green, clean and livable. Waste and sewer management, plastic, e-waste, urban forests, water conservation and recycling should be our concern. We will do it together,” the LG tweeted.

S. Korea ranks No. 1 in household debt-to-GDP ratio in Q1
SEOUL, June 6 (Yonhap) -- South Korea had the highest household debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio among 36 major economies in the first quarter, a global finance report said Monday.
The country's household debt-to-GDP ratio came to 104.3 percent in the January-March period, followed by Lebanon with 97.8 percent, Hong Kong with 95.3 percent, Thailand with 89.7 percent and Britain with 83.9 percent, according to data from the Institute of International Finance (IIF).
South Korea was the only country whose household debt exceeded its GDP among the 36 countries that include Japan, China, the United States and European Union.
Korea's outstanding household lending stood at 1,752.7 trillion won at the end of March, down 1.5 trillion won from end-December, according to data from the Bank of Korea.
Household debt-to-GDP ratios have been on the decline in global economies due mainly to rising interest rates. Korea's ratio fell 0.7 percentage point from 105 percent in the same quarter of last year, the IIF data showed.
But Korea's on-year reduction rate is far smaller than 7.2 percent in Britain, 4.7 percent in the United States, 4.6 percent in Japan and 2.9 percent in the European Union.
The central bank recently said rising interest rates could turn some of the nation's existing household loans into non-performing ones and weigh on consumption.

Weekly horoscope: astrologer to Princess Diana, Debbie Frank, reveals what your zodiac sign has in store for 6 to 12 June
Astrologer to the stars Debbie Frank has shared her weekly horoscopes with HELLO! Online readers. Find out what the stars have in store for you below...
Although the week begins under rather a go-slow, you're hurtling towards the extra-curricular meeting between Venus and Uranus where something out of the ordinary is bound to take place. Is this the moment to let loose your vision of what you believe to be possible?
Although you have the gorgeous Venus in your sign don't forget it was Aphrodite herself who set off the Trojan War. It's all about choices and as she sidles up to radical Uranus at the end of this week sparks will fly. You're crystal clear about what matters in a relationship and are not afraid of saying so.
Despite recent frustrations you're likely to have a hugely significant lightbulb moment at the end of this week. The kind of breakthrough you've been wanting and you're prepared to go all out to change things up. Just make sure someone's ready to take this on board or they might run a mile.
Of course you love your comfort zone but isn't it time you recognised that the past is a distant country and you're actually better off embracing change? Those around you have been waiting for your expressive side to come to the fore. When it comes you'll wonder why it took you so long.
You've been wrestling with a stuck stage so it's a jolt when things suddenly turn on a dime later this week. Suddenly you're thrust into a fast-moving situation with new possibilities that alter your place and position. It's exciting to experience but of course it will entail a certain amount of disruption.
Once again you're in that change of pace between sticking things out and suddenly adapting to an alteration in the status quo. Uncomfortable as it is, this little jolt could liberate you from all that has been holding you back. It's called an awakening and your key to handling it is to reframe your reality to a wide angle lens.
If you'd been hoping for a peaceful week, prepare yourself for a flurry of startling exchanges as someone vents themselves or declares their interest in you or what you have to offer. It means you'll have to assess things pretty quickly and whether you want to get involved or not.
Recent exchanges with a particular person may have left you stuck for words or unable to get through to them. However all this is set to change at the end of the week leading to an about-turn in a relationship that takes you to a completely different place. They are going to make a startling impact on you.
This is a time to re-consider exactly what you're doing with your life and even the way you spend the hours in each day. A re-working of your existing arrangements could liberate you to do more of what you want. No point sitting on that rug when you could pull it and discover how different things could be.
Having examined something from every angle in recent weeks you're now ready to say your piece and it will come across as well-thought-out and wise. Life is all about timing, as you know and the knock-on-effect will lift the mood. This is a moment when endings and beginnings click into place.
Perhaps having sensible Saturn in your sign has felt like walking with lead boots on, but the spontaneous combustion triggered by the meeting of Venus and Uranus will set you free. It's a radical change and an opportunity to throw over something that has held you back for far too long.
Reaching an aha moment defines where you want to take a relationship or indeed how to handle a certain person. Perhaps you've been floating for far too long and the other person has the impression that you'll go along with whatever they want. In that case they have another think coming!

Ducon Infratechnologies rose 2.69% to Rs 22.90 after the company announced that it has set up a new business division, "Hydrofule", to focus on reducing the production cost of Green Hydrogen.
Ducon Infratechnologies has set up a new business division, Hydrofule, in its wholly owned USA based subsidiary to carry out research & development work on building a large scale economical Green Hydrogen Electrolyzer that will work with solar energy to achieve a conversion efficiency of at least 70%.The zero-carbon fuel, Green Hydrogen, is made using renewable power from wind or solar sources to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through an electrolyzer. Currently, regular electricity to hydrogen electrolyzers provide over 70% efficiency but they do not generate Green Hydrogen because they use electricity from fossil fuels. On the other hand, existing efficiencies of Solar to Hydrogen Electrolyzers, which produce green hydrogen are about 20% due to which Green Hydrogen business has not been commercially viable, the company said in a statement.
Hydrofule's research will focus on reducing the production cost of Green Hydrogen by improving the Photovoltaic-Electrolysis system efficiency through minimizing the water splitting voltage and deploying high efficiency electrocatalysts in the electrolyzer. Hydrofule plans to develop a prototype with hybridization of semiconductor oxide photoelectrodes, with noble metals and their nanocomposites that can provide enhanced electron mobility and photostability for better electrochemical performance and a solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency greater than 70%.
Arun Govil, chairman of Ducon said: this new business will be housed in our wholly owned USA subsidiary of the Company and will file for patents as and when possible. As the Indian government has laid out ambitious plans for India to become a leader in Green Hydrogen production, we will be making significant investment in research& development during the coming yearsto leveragethis transformational Clean Technologies opportunity by developing the most cost-effective solar hydrogen electrolyzer. The global capacity for water electrolysis technologies is expected to reach approximately 104.6 GW by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 62.6 percent and the global Green Hydrogen market which was $0.3 billion in 2020, is expected to reach $9.8 billion by 2028. Green hydrogen will be an essential part of our future as it will be a crucial enabler of global transition to sustainable energy and net zero emissions provided it can be produced more economically than the current cost," added Govil.
On a consolidated basis, net profit of Ducon Infratechnologies surged 383.1% to Rs 1.67 crore on 3.9% decline in net sales to Rs 96.18 crore in Q4 FY22 over Q4 FY21.
Ducon Infratechnologies is a fossil fuel/clean coal technology company. It provides complete Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) systems with turnkey responsibility, all across India and in neighboring regions for coal, heavy fuel oil (HFO) and pet coke fired power boilers.

JACK Hetherington's father is hoping his firebrand son signs for the Newcastle Knights but says the former Valentine-Eleebana Devil is quite capable of making his own decisions.
Jack Hetherington, the explosive Canterbury forward, has attracted interest from a host of clubs, including Newcastle, Canberra, Wests Tigers, St George Illawarra and the Dolphins, after being told by the Bulldogs recently that he was free to explore other options.
Advertisement
The Knights are reportedly keen to sign the 26-year-old for at least two seasons, in a deal that would represent something of a homecoming, given that he played his first junior football with Valentine-Eleebana Devils.
Jack's father, Brett, is a former Canberra and North Queensland forward who played in 142 top-grade games, including the Raiders' 1994 grand final triumph.
After retiring, he moved to Newcastle in 2002 when he bought into Belmont's Gunyah Hotel, which he owned for 17 years.
He still lives at Belmont and admitted he would be delighted if Jack decided to link with the Knights.
"I'd love to see him land up here," Brett told the Newcastle Herald. "I've been here 20 years now and consider myself a local, and I don't reckon you'll find too many better places to live.
"Me and a couple of mates have been driving down to Sydney to watch him play for the last few years, so it would be nice if his home games were just down the road."
Brett said it would "make a lot of sense" for Jack to join the Knights, given that his partner also hails from Newcastle and they have two young children.
"Things like lifestyle, quality of life and family are pretty important things to consider," he said.
In saying that, Brett added that he wanted Jack to make a decision that would be best for his football future.
"It's a big decision," he said. "It's his career and him and his partner and manager will weigh everything up.
"I just want him to reach his potential.
"I think he's shown that he's got some ability. He's copped a few suspensions, but I know he's done a lot of work on his tackling technique, and it's just a shame he did his shoulder back in round three.
"He was looking forward to having a big year, especially after switching from front row to back row.
"I think back row is probably his best position because there's not many blokes with his size and speed.
"He played the full 80 minutes in round two [against the Broncos] and he loved it.
"But he's always been happy to play wherever the team needs him to."

Jack is unlikely to play again this year after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction in March, but Brett said "he'll be ready to rip in, come pre-season".
He thought Jack was "getting close" to making a decision.
In contrast to Hetherington, Knights five-eighth Anthony Milford is willing to bide his time before settling his future.
Milford, who has played two games for Newcastle since linking with them mid-season, is signed only until the end of 2022.
There has been widespread speculation he will link with the Dolphins next year, but Knights officials are eager to extend his tenure.
His agent, Sam Ayoub, told the Herald on Monday that Milford wanted to string some games together and wouldn't be in a position to make a decision for at least a month.

Self-expression is therapeutic on many levels. It exorcises internal strife by representing it artistically to the public. This could be regarded as an act of freedom, of unloading through sharing. A general empathy towards the artist’s experience, amid different emotions and nuances, is thus fostered as a learning exercise.
The exhibition Freedom finds artist Isabel Warrington, well-known as a local actress, coming to terms with a life and career that saw her toing-and-froing from theatre to caricatural art. “I got back into painting when I started using it as a form of therapy about three years ago, when I was going through a particularly difficult time,” she remarks.
Probably, theatre helped her recognise that the whole world is effectively a stage, and that people are mere pawns, moving around and being manipulated in the general scheme of things. Playwrights ascribe roles to their created characters, figments from real-life events and from pure imagination. The actor studies the part and takes on the role, creating a personality, usually with a social situation as a backdrop. At times, this is done through the augmenting and the emphasising certain characteristics, also pouring it into a measure of caricature.
Caricatures usually have a witty but cruel dimension; their strength lies in poking fun at people and ridiculing situations and anachronistic tradition. However, some bring out a level of endearment, of self-identification; this provides a morale to their illustrative storytelling. Artists like Roland Topor and Honoré Daumier depicted a humanity with a few redeeming characteristics while cartoonists like Arthur Rackham and Gustav Doré explored folklore and myth with less pessimistic overtones.
Warrington’s style and narrative is in tune with that of the latter artists – in Hot Air, a bathtub and sleepy bather travel across the heavens, on an adventure, carried by a billowing Montgolfier. It is reminiscent of Odilon Redon’s famous Eye- Balloon of 1878, without the sinister ominous aura of the French symbolist’s work. Warrington’s painting has well-defined, innocent and ‘fiabesque’ elements.
In The Juggler, a ‘roly-poly’ juggler, a toy of old, delivers a message of equilibrium as factors of its inherent physical form as well as through the game it’s playing, essentially its raison d’être. This could be an autobiographical comment as the artist’s life has been a balancing game of alternating viewpoints and continuous recalibration, also threatened by a toppling over which would also result in losing the thread of the game.
The pandemic allowed the manic pace of life to slow down so it was an opportunity for me to explore new subjects and media
However, the exhibition is not solely devoted to caricature and cartoon. The early days of the pandemic kept many people locked away from humanity’s hustle and bustle. The majority hibernated to relative domestic safety, away from the menace of the virus. “The pandemic allowed the manic pace of life to slow down so it was an opportunity for me to explore new subjects and media. That’s when I really started to enjoy painting landscapes in watercolour,” she maintains. “I had so much more time to walk in the countryside and sit and paint so I started to take my watercolours wherever I went to also get used to painting en plein air,” she continues.
The artist enjoyed newfound freedom by breaking away from the pandemic-induced imprisonment and venturing to the liberating space of the great outdoors. She relished the solitude, the seclusion in being alone in open spaces, while admiring the diversity and beauty of the Maltese landscape. “The diversity of Malta’s landscape is breathtaking, and I never cease to wonder at the hardiness of vegetation that flourishes despite the harsh elements. The unkempt aspect of our natural spaces gives me a sense of wild freedom,” she points out. This fresh freedom has been effectively translated through her watercolours of the Maltese countryside at different times of the year.
She claims that people think that she’s an extrovert who loves the company of others. She counters this preconception by affirming that she is actually a solitary person, “who spends most of my time alone in my own head. The older I grow the more I like it there.” This quest for solitude is more than skin-deep, offering Warrington the space for multi-layered introspection and renewal, both artistically and personally.
Alain de Botton and John Armstrong, in their book Art as Therapy, claim that “the development of the artist provides a profound model of the process of maturation”. Freedom finds Warrington maturing as an artist, while exploring new venues and itineraries, without denouncing her traditional narrative as a perceptive and intuitive caricaturist.
Freedom, hosted by Art by the Seaside Gallery, Senglea, is on until June 17. Consult the gallery’s Facebook page for opening hours.

It's been a little while coming we know, but thank you to everyone that has contributed their ideas and suggestions and bugs. We've updated and hope you'll have an even nicer time (hang on that isn't right) in Sunshine Manor!
Here's what's changed ...
- Spinning things now spin more consistently when you're using super fancy monitors with high refresh rates
- Added a windowed mode to the game
- Menu controls have been changed slightly to allow for the Steam Deck, but you probably won't notice them.
- Fixed small bug in the Gluttons realm where the chicken knicker would run through a wall if too stressed out.
- Fixed two small bugs in the Dancers realm, also made one specific platform move a little slower. You know who you are!!!
- Fixed a rare bug in the Octoslime realm where getting hit on a docking pad would freeze you.
There are a few others too, but we hope this makes the game more fun to play! Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far ... you're all legends! | https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/8878475/ | 2022-06-06T10:05:20Z | https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/8878475/ | true | 1 |

Fatty liver disease: The ‘lesser-known’ sign to spot in your fingers - ‘See your GP’
ALTHOUGH fatty liver disease is usually linked to signs, such as jaundice or tummy pain, an expert has shared one sign that can be spotted in your fingers. From your nails to your fingers, here's how to spot finger clubbing.
Liver disease: Doctor discusses causes and symptoms
“Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic condition caused by too much fat being stored inside the liver cells,” said Dr Deborah Lee from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy. Triggered by too much fat in the organ, NAFLD is associated with conditions, including diabetes and obesity.
When it comes to spotting the culprit, the early stages of fatty liver disease don’t usually present many warning signs.
However, as the condition progresses, your body might ring alarm bells.
Dr Lee shared that one “lesser-known” sign might be finger clubbing.
She explained that this symptom points to chronic liver disease and “may not be recognised”.

She detailed: “Finger clubbing [describes] enlargement of the fingertips and downward curving nails.”
Mount Sinai Health System adds the tell-tale signs that can reveal this sign:
- The nail beds softening. The nails may seem to "float" instead of being firmly attached
- The nails forming a sharper angle with the cuticle
- The last part of the finger appearing large or bulging. It may also be warm and red
- The nail curving downward so it looks like the round part of an upside-down spoon.
- The health portal explains that clubbing can develop quickly, even within weeks.
Fortunately, this problem can be also solved “quickly” when the cause gets picked up and treated.
When it comes to fatty liver disease, finger clubbing points to cirrhosis, also known as the “most severe” stage of NAFLD.
During this stage, your liver shrinks and becomes scarred and lumpy, the NHS explains.
The health body warns that this damage is permanent and can even trigger liver failure or cancer.
Apart from finger clubbing, cirrhosis causes other “severe” signs, including:
- Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (jaundice)
- Itchy skin
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, feet or tummy (oedema).
Dr Lee advises to “see a GP” if you suffer from any symptoms. The NHS also recommends calling 111 as jaundice is considered “serious”.
Luckily, cirrhosis only occurs after years of liver inflammation and is preceded by three other stages of NAFLD.
Plus, the NHS notes that making lifestyle changes can help prevent NAFLD from getting worse.
Dr Lee said: “Much can be achieved by improving lifestyle factors – eating healthily, taking regular exercise, and reducing alcohol to within recommended limits.
“The Mediterranean diet is recommended. This is a diet full of lean meat, fish, poultry, whole grains, unsaturated plant fats such as olive oil, sunflower oil, or rapeseed oil, and large quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables which are high in antioxidants.
“[Also] make sure you eat plenty of fibre.” | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1621281/fatty-liver-disease-symptoms-finger-clubbing-signs | 2022-06-06T10:08:54Z | https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1621281/fatty-liver-disease-symptoms-finger-clubbing-signs | true | 2 |

Delhi Heatwave: An orange alert has been issued in Delhi due to continuous severe heatwaves in the national capital. The Indian Meteorological Department had earlier predicted intense heatwaves from June 4, which is expected to continue for four more days with no sign of relief, said RK Jenamani, senior scientist at IMD. The expert also advised people in and around NCR to not step out of the house unless necessary, reported ANI. The orange weather alert is the ‘be prepared’ sign and is issued as a warning to the administration to be prepared for emergencies.
Meanwhile, the heatwave spell tightened its grip on parts of Delhi on Sunday, with the mercury breaching the 45-degree Celsius mark in six localities.

Yellow alert for isolated spots in Delhi
The Met Office has issued a "yellow" alert, warning of heatwave conditions at isolated places in Delhi on Monday.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) uses four colour codes for weather warnings -- "green" (no action needed), "yellow" (watch and stay updated), "orange" (be prepared) and "red" (take action).
Pre-monsoon activity likely from June 10
Meanwhile, Mahesh Palawat, vice-president (climate change and meteorology), Skymet Weather informed that Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, north Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh may see pre-monsoon activity on and off from June 10. He also said that the maximum temperature in the capital may drop to 40-41 degrees Celsius by Saturday.
According to IMD, a heatwave is declared when the maximum temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius and at least 4.5 notches above normal. A severe heatwave is declared if the departure from normal temperature is by more than 6.4 notches, according to the IMD.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — UCLA pitcher Holly Azevedo said her teammates created an “iced moment” by dumping water on her after Sunday’s victory.
She was pretty cool during the game, too. She threw a two-hit shutout and the fifth-seeded Bruins beat No. 14 Florida 8-0 in six innings Sunday to reach the Women’s College World Series semifinals and eliminate the Gators.
Azevedo (21-2) threw just 88 pitches, struck out two and walked one.
“I couldn’t do it without the people behind me,” she said. “Our defense was really, really on point today, and obviously we had a really good outing with offense.”
Kelli Godin, Maya Brady and Briana Perez each had two hits for the Bruins.
UCLA (50-9) will play No. 1 seed Oklahoma in the semifinals Monday and will have to beat the defending champion Sooners twice to reach the best-of-three championship series. The teams met in the championship series in 2019, with UCLA winning both games to claim the title. Oklahoma beat UCLA in an elimination game last year.
UCLA coach Kelly Inouye-Perez isn’t worried about the fact that Oklahoma leads the nation in scoring, hitting and earned run average.
“We’ve got to be able to come out and play our game at the end of the day, and if we do that, then it will be a great day of softball,” she said. “That’s all that we’re focusing on right now.”
Florida (49-19) won its opener Thursday against Oregon State, but the Gators did not score in a loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The struggles continued against UCLA.
“I think there was a lot of like, hits that we had that were hit hard, but it was right at people,” Florida’s Cheyenne Lindsey said. “You can’t really control where the ball goes, only your contact. I think that was a big part of it.”
Elizabeth Hightower (17-9) got the loss for the Gators after giving up two runs on three hits in 3 1/3 innings. Florida was the only Southeastern Conference team in the World Series field.
UCLA opened the scoring in the bottom of the second when Godin singled to score Savannah Pola.
UCLA looked like it might add some runs in the third. With one on and two outs, Alyssa Garcia lifted one deep to left field. Florida’s Katie Kistler leaped up against the wall and snagged it above the fence to end the inning.
The Bruins had runners on the corners with one out in the fourth when Florida shortstop Skylar Wallace — a second-team NFCA All-American — committed an error on a ground ball that allowed Pola to score.
Wallace failed to come up with another ground ball later in the inning. Briana Perez’s contact was ruled a single, and two runs scored to make it 4-0.
A single by Brady in the sixth knocked in two runs and gave UCLA a 6-0 lead. Pola then singled and scored two more to end the game.
Inouye-Perez said the Bruins figured things out as the game progressed.
“Those Florida pitchers were throwing some nasty stuff, and the strike zone started to be a little different,” she said. “You know, it was just a little different, so we had to make an adjustment. Super proud.”
